Page 1 BC0016
Senate Bill 252; he read a list from the rural Colorado publication The Fence Post of dairies and
feedlots for sale in April (after the bill passed), entered into the record as Exhibit A. He stated the head
of the EPA said President Obama ordered them to bypass Congress and make-up their own laws and
regulations. He said this is what happens when people in office don't care about agriculture and take
their orders from Washington. Commissioner Rademacher said the EPA is going to change the basis
of their decisions from science to assumptions (computer modeling). Commissioner Conway stated
that having these actual examples of farmers relocating, versus anecdotal evidence, is very helpful.
a COMMISSIONER COORDINATOR REPORTS: Commissioner Freeman reported on the
ribbon cutting for a new Aims Community College building, as well as renovations to the existing Prairie
Building, on the Fort Lupton campus; the new building will house classrooms and labs for new degree
programs in oil and gas technology and agriculture technology. He said Aims looks where the jobs are
and meets the needs of industry and students; it's great for Fort Lupton and the economy of Weld
County. a Commissioner Rademacher said he went to Durango on a water tour of the nine basins.
He said the reservoirs are incredibly low, they are in the fourth year of their drought and have one or
two more years before drastic measures will be needed. a Commissioner Conway commended
Commissioner Freeman for his hard work as a Trustee of Aims Community College, noting that the oil
and gas center has perhaps the most state-of-the-art equipment of any university in Colorado. He also
pointed out that this is the only institution of higher education in Colorado that hasn't raised tuition for
three years. Commissioner Conway also spoke about legislation which will be introduced this coming
session allowing community colleges to give four year degrees. He said this will benefit the needs of
both students and our economy. He also mentioned that the Greeley City Council approved the new
dispatch agreement. He said, although it was a rocky road, this agreement will serve the public well
going forward. Commissioner Conway commended Council members Mike Finn, Sandi Elder and
Donna Sapienza, as well as Mayor Norton, and Commissioners Rademacher and Kirkmeyer for their
hard work on this.

Discover Goodwill. Judy Griego, Director of Department of Human Services, explained they are asking

done this before and has the infrastructure ready; they currently handle 19 counties, and 4,500
applications per year, and have an established 1-800 number and website for this purpose. Ms. Griego
noted there is no longer a face-to-face interview requirement for LEAP. In response to Chair Garcia,
she said this will alleviate the need to hire temporary employees for this, and John Kruse, Department
of Human Services Division Head, did extensive outreach to encourage local bidders. She said it's not
certain, but she expects to see a decrease in expenditures, although the County will continue to have
LEAP outreach responsibilities and some dedicated staff hours. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to
approve staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Conway, and it carried
unanimously.
