Home My WebLink About780674.tiff New Raymer, Colo. 80742 October 10, 1978 County Commissioners Weld County Greeley Colo. Ed Dunbar, County Commissioner Dear Sir: In reference to your letter of August 24, 1978 explaining the use of Conservation Trust Fund money for incorporated towns use. The town of Raymer would like to submit a request for im— provement in our town park. Since we now have a town water system, we recently installed an underground water system in the park. \ e have a large tractor and mower for use in weed control, but we would like to make a request for a riding tractor and mower for park use only. Also, we would like to build a 10 foot by 20 foot shaded picnic shelter that would accommodate 2 or maybe 3 picnic tables. We have $118 in State Conservation Trust Fund money to apply towards this project or the tables we need. Estimates on a 14 horse tractor with mower are around $2,600 to $2,800. Shelter estimates for material only, without concrete floor, are around $400 to $450. A corrugated tin roof, which would be more lasting would run higher. Your letter stated that you need to know what portion of the request the county is being asked to fund. Since we put in the sprinkler system, we do not have any money to apply to this request. We understand this is not a matching fund program. Also, that we are not obligated to finish the project or participate in the program if we do not get the amount needed. The firms we inquired with about the tractors end mowers did tell us that if we proceeded with the program, we would be eligible for generous discounts on the above prices. Contact me at 437-5336 if you need more information. Sincerely, Pauline Steffen, Raymer trustee 760674 Town of Hudson BOX 351 HUDSON, COLO. 80642 October 12, 1978 Office of Board of County Commissioners P.O. Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE: Conservation Trust Fund Ed Dunbar: We're sorry for the lateness of this response, but it appears your letter concerning the Conservation Fund was misplaced. We feel fortunate that the Commissioners brought it to our attention, hopefully, in time. We have stipulated a Hudson Conservation Trust Fund in our budget for 1979, and immediately posted $100 in it for future new park ground; hoping to add more funds to it as we can. The Council have felt a need for park designated land for sometime, as our present park is situated on private land which may be used for development soon. If a suitable location can be found, I would estimate the land cost alone to be in the neighborhood of 35,000. A park in Hudson that everyone could use and call their own is very desireable. I shall be happy to submit more information as it is required.IeRectfully /� // G,/, Dudley. M ill.

Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mrs. Steinmark and Gentlemen: The Town of Platteville has a project for a new all-purpose community recrea- tion building for which it is requesting County Conservation Trust Funds. We feel that this building is necessary to carry out the civic programs that now do not have adequate or safe meeting facilities. These civic organiza- tions are: Lion's Club, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Programs for the Senior Citizens, 4-H Clubs, Chamber of Commerce, Church Organizations, five social clubs and craft clubs. ,Many of these organizations are currently using the basement; o"f ;t}te:tbwht4 tib .ry building which we consider unsafe for public meetings as it has very stetp.,stairs, only one exit, no central heating system and was designed as .aterage room. The present community building does not meet these requirete ae'tt is in the central business district, has no adequate parking facilities, entrances are such that they cannot safely be remodeled with ramps for those who cannot negotiate steps, and not large enough to accommodate all activities. Our plan would be to construct this facility on land:in ogre sef,9pr.Alts, preferrably Lincoln Park as it has water and sewer fadilities available'. The Town of Platteville has' 6udgeted for 1919 $5,000,for a community building. We also have a bu}l ng,with'lots for sale we anticipbre ,bringing an.estimated $10,000 that will also be placed towards the community building. The Town also has on hand sd1e materials for 'furnishing the building valued at $3,000.
