Ester,
At Barb Connelly's suggestion I wanted to forward you the "guts" of a resolution by the
County Commissioners reflecting the receipt of two $6,000 donated checks we received for the
purpose of purchasing night vision equipment to combat oil field theft.
These generous donations by Anadarko and Noble represent support for our Sheriff's Office in
combating the continuing theft of oil field equipment in Weld County. The oil company
security folks solicited how their companies could assist in this effort in relation to
investigating oil field theft. Based on discussions with Sheriff's Office personnel it was
determined that night vision equipment would enhance these theft investigations. Noble and
Anadarko pitched in a total of $12,000 towards the purchase of that equipment by donating
checks for $6,000 each.
Hope that helps.

Jennifer,
Can you set up a time at a Commissioners open forum per Don's suggestion below to acknowledge
the receipt of the $12,000 from Noble and Anadarko for the purpose of enhancing our
investigative capabilities involving oil field theft by purchasing night vision goggles.
I'll make arrangements to bring the checks over to Barb Connelly.
Thanks Jack

The past policy has been that the Board of County Commissioners accept the donation by
resolution and authorize the purchase of the earmarked items the funds were donated to
purchase. A letter of thanks from the Board is also sent to the donating party.

Subject: $12,000 Donation to the SO from Noble and Anadarko
Today the Sheriff's Office received two checks for $6,000 each, as donations towards the
purchase of night vision goggles for deputies. These donations transpired from a meeting
between Weld County law enforcement and security folks from Noble and Anadarko about a month
ago discussing oil field theft. The oil company security folks asked the deputies what they
needed in relation to surveillance equipment for investigating oil field theft and the
deputies told them night vision goggles. So Noble and Anadarko pitched in a total of $12,000
towards the purchase of that equipment. What I am unsure of is how we proceed from here with
the donations, maintain transparency, and obtain the much needed equipment. I would
appreciate some advice on how to proceed and to determine whether or not the Commissioners
would like to discuss the $12,000 and the earmarking of those funds.
Thanks in advance for your help.
