The Organization of Platte Valley Park and Recreation
Sept. 5, 2013
To: Board of County Commissioners
1150 O St.
Greeley, CO 80632
From: Patricia Grisham
23900 CR 341/:
La Salle, CO 80645
Case Number: MET13-0001
In Re: The Organization of Platte Valley Park and Recreation District
We, Patricia Grisham and Terry Grisham, respectfully request that our property at 23900 CR 34'A, La Salle, CO 80645 be excluded
from the District.
Reasons for opposition to this Organization:
My husband, Terry Grisham and I Patricia Grisham, attended the meeting on Sept. 3, 2013 and listened to the presentation of the
proposal.
There were questions that the presenters, of this proposal, could not answer.
According to one of the three presenters, there were 1500 mailings of the Notice of Public Hearing. No one knew how many
residences there are in the RE -7 school district.
In the town of Kersey, CO
Houses: 485 (472 occupied: 359 owner occupied, 113 renter occupied)
The Town of Kersey Colorado is home to just under 1500 people
Read more:. http://www.city-data.com/housing/houses-Kersey-Colorado.html#ixzz2e2PKAGOV
Based on US Census 2010 data
Total Housing Units ♦ School District / Population
1. 1,824 Platte Valley School District RE -7 / 4,697
This is one of the answers to a question they couldn't answer at the meeting.
The impression I came away with is this is about Kersey, CO not the people outside of it. The people that would pick up the biggest
share of the cost would be people that live outside of Kersey that are very happy without a Recreational facility, and if they chose to
use the facility would have to travel further than those that live in Kersey and at present are complaining that they have to travel 9.5
miles from the center of Kersey to get to the, very nice, Greeley Recreational facility. If I were to use a Recreational facility it would
be the Greeley one since there is more to do in Greeley before and after the Recreational facility.
We find it very discriminating when under 40 acres will be taxed while those 40 acres or over won't be.
We are not in favor of the unlimited Operations Levy or the unlimited Maximum mill levy for the debt in the event the debt- to -
assessed value ratio is less than 50%
The proposed preschool and wrestling/gymnastics room should be on the school districts plans not this service plan.
If Kersey feels a need for a Recreational facility, they should pay for it themselves.
There are several people in RE -7 school district that are living on fixed incomes and are taxed enough already.
Respectfully,
Patricia Grisham ( pagrish@aol.com)

Reason for opposition to the Organization of Platte Valley Park and Recreation District
My wife and I have two kids under four and we live in the town of Kersey. We do not support the organization
of a Parks and Recreation District. After meeting tonight with community at the Fire Station it is very clear to
me that the plan for the Recreation District is financially unsound and would put a burden on the community
of Kersey. It is clear to me that some of the community would like to make some amenities available but they
acknowledge that the programs could not financially support themselves. To me this clearly states that the
community can not afford the current plan. I am in support of a recreation program and I am willing to make
the financial decisions for my family to pay for any amenities we use. I do not believe that increasing the mill
levy to there by under mind my financial responsibility to make decisions for my family is virtuous or
equitable. If the current board could develop a recreation program that is financed and supported by the
members that use the program. I would show my support for the program by not only paying for my
membership but involving myself in the program.
Respectfully submitted,

Commissioners,
A group of citizens in the Kersey area have been putting together everything necessary to approach you
on the formation of the Platte Valley Parks and Recreation District. This past week, they presented their
information to the Planning Commission. It is my understanding that the Planning Commission is
recommending to you all that you NOT approve the request for this proposed District to be put on the
ballot in November for various reasons.
The committee is set to go in front of you on the morning of the 16th of this month. I would love to be
there to speak on their behalf, but unfortunately I will be out of town on a training. In lieu of my
presence that morning, I wanted to pass along to you my feelings on this concept.
The proposed District is one of the BEST ideas that has come to our community in a long time. It is very
much needed to provide for this community. The benefit to the community and the region far
outweighs any issues that might be presented. Not only will this help by bringing more families to the
region, but it will also retain the families that are already here. It will provide a facility and service from
the newborns to the senior citizens. The economic timing for this project could not be any better with
the oil and gas status in our area. Thus, this project being a lesser burden on the tax payers. The
Planning Commission stated that we are too close to Greeley, that it wasn't needed, or didn't represent
the overall public. I can refute all of their claims, but to save your time in reading this email, let me
know if you would like me to explain.
All I can ask is that you approve this concept to be put on the November ballot and allow those of us
that live, work and raise our children in this community the opportunity to cast our vote to decide the
fate of the District.
I appreciate our relationship, as we work together to make Weld County the best that we can. As
always, if you have any questions or would like to speak to me, please feel free to contact me. I
appreciate your time in reading this email on this behalf.
Have a great weekend and I look forward to seeing you next week to finalize the EMTS Bylaws.

In Re: The Organization of Platte Valley Park and Recreation District
Thank you for the notice of the public hearing on this matter. For reasons of health, it is unlikely that we will be able to
attend the public hearing.
However, we would like to register our support of the proposal to create a park and recreation district.
We also request that consideration be given to the development of a park in Gill. At present the children in this village
have no facilities for play and recreation, and a park — even of modest size and equipment — would, we're sure, be well
used and greatly appreciated.

RE: Petition to be Excluded from the Platte Valley Park and Recreation District
Dear Board of County Commissioners,
I, Debra Loloff as CEO of Loloff Farms Inc. would like to file a petition with the Board of County
Commissioners requesting that the following properties/mineral interest be excluded from the Platte
Valley Park and Recreation District. The legal description of the property/mineral interest as listed with
the leasing oil company is as follows:
Section 26, the SW1/4 ; Section 35, the NE1/4 and the E1/2 of the NW
Section 26 & 35, Township 5N, Range 64W
Containing 400 acres, more or less.
Not only am I against the proposed Recreation District in this location, I feel that the above mineral
interest should be excluded because it is old and depleted. What little income is received from this
mineral interest does not offset the damages and expenses that are occurred from these old wells. We
have no control/say in what the oil company does. Many of these wells are just setting. I am sure the
oil company is going to leave the farm with a bunch of junk all over the surface.
Sincerely,

"In an era in which health costs have become the biggest single expenditure
in U.S. society, the central importance of physical activity in preventing and
improving a wide variety of health problems is now well understood. As this

Physical Activity
More is Better
