Ms. Williams said the group has a website, and she requested a work session with the Commissioners on this, as they are already moving animals in. In response to Chair Garcia, Ms. Williams said she has not yet contacted the Planning Department. Chair Garcia noted what she is describing would require a Use by Special Review. He asked Ms. Williams to submit her notes for the record, marked Exhibit A. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she would look the notes and website over and pass the information along to Tom Parko, Director of the Department of Planning Services. In addition, Ms. Williams mentioned that Weld County owns property in the Town of Keota that needs maintenance. Commissioner Conway invited her to talk to Toby Taylor, Director of Buildings and Grounds, in regard to that issue. Chair Garcia said a work session would be delayed until more information is available. Ned Sprague, County resident, also spoke to the issue in Keota. He noted that some years ago he had requested use of the town well, and was declined, but these new people have moved in and appear to be utilizing the well, which is owned by Weld County. He also addressed the dust issue at the intersection in Keota, brought before the Board two weeks prior. Commissioner Conway said he would see if getting a counter to that intersection could be expedited. Mr. Sprague said he estimated 1,000 vehicles per day taking 103 to 390 and said traffic on 105 and 104 is also very bad. Doug Meyer, County resident, spoke in regard to a recent article in the Greeley Tribune regarding a ban on Weld County employees politically campaigning on county property. He said that he feels that this is petty, because you should be able to drive your own car to work with a campaign advertisement on it. Commissioner Conway replied that the Weld County Code is explicit in stating Weld County employees are not allowed to campaign at work, and noted that if exceptions are made, there is concern regarding proliferation. Commissioner Kirkmeyer noted this activity is disallowed in the Charter as well and noted the difference between an "employee" and an "elected official". She told Mr. Meyer that some employees have actually taken a leave of absence in order to campaign without breaking the rules.
