DILLON \u2014 While towns across Summit County pushed forward with their municipal elections, asking residents to share their voices and engage in the democratic process despite the COVID-19 shutdown, both Dillon and Silverthorne\u2019s elections were canceled<\/a> due to uncontested races.<\/p>\n

Both towns passed resolutions to cancel their elections earlier this year, with each town having just three candidates throw in their hats for three open positions. Though, each town will see one new face set to take over for the next four years.<\/p>\n

Dillon has two council members returning to their roles, Brad Bailey<\/a> and Kyle Hendricks. Steven Milroy also will be joining the council. As the sole newcomer, Milroy, a software entrepreneur and emergency medical technician, said he\u2019d prioritize improvements to traffic and pedestrian safety once sworn in.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraffic volume is increasing, and with new development and visitors, that problem will continue,\u201d Milroy told the Summit Daily<\/a> earlier this month. \u201cWe need to balance business and tourist needs with those of full-time residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
