Dear Senator Schieffelin:
It is my understanding that members of the Senate State Affairs
Committee are questioning the reappointment of Mrs. Elizabeth
Kearns to the post of Public Trustee of Weld County. Mrs. Kearns
is the first Public Trustee in Weld County who has returned
revenue to the County General Fund. In 1977, this amounted to
$2,772.39. While this amount is not large, it does represent
that amount of money that does not have to be raised via property
tax.
My understanding of the Public Trustee's Office is that both the
duties and the procedures of the office are specifically spelled
out by statutes. Mrs. Kearns both knows and abides by those
statutes that control the function of her office. There is no
justification for not confirming Mrs. Kearns' reappointment,
and I sincerely urge the Senate State Affairs Committee to approve
the appointment.
Sincerely,
r D (

Dear Senator Schieffelin:
I am writing in reference to the State Affairs Committee hearing
to consider the reappointment of Ms. Elizabeth Kearns as Public
Trustee for Weld County. I have been acquainted with Ms. Kearns
for several years, both personally and professionally, and will
attest to both her competence and integrity in that office.
As County Commissioner in Weld County, I have had occasion to
review Ms. Kearns operation of the Public Trustee's Office in
the county. She has been very thorough in her accounting for
both expenses and fees, and has returned revenue to the County
in all of her reporting periods.
I would strongly encourage you and the members of the State Affairs
Committee to recommend the reappointment of Elizabeth Kearns as
Weld County Public Trustee for another term. Please contact me
if I can be of any assistance in providing further background or
reference as to Ms. Kearns operation of the Public Trustee's Office.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sin3erely,
