from Potter Industries for the glass beads. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve the low bids
from Vogel Paint and Wax Company and Potter Industries, based on staff's recommendations.
Seconded by Commissioner Garcia, the motion carried unanimously.
APPROVE BID #B1200046, CONCRETE WASHED ROCK AND SQUEEGEE - DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC WORKS: Ms. Mika stated this bid was initially presented on February 13, 2012, and staff

memorandum. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.
APPROVE BID #B110079, BRIDGE #6/25A REHABILITATION (CDOT) - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
WORKS: Ms. Mika stated the Department of Public Works recommends approval of the low bid.
Michael Bedell, Department of Public Works, stated this is a bridge over the Platte River, which is
located near the Town of Wattenburg, and rather than replace it, the Department applied for Federal aid
grant funds through the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for a major rehabilitation of the
bridge. In response to Chair Conway, Mr. Bedell confirmed CDOT reviewed the bid and provided its
concurrence to award the bid, and the agreement for this work will have attachments which are
required by CDOT, similar to Federal aid construction agreements. Further responding to Chair
Conway, Mr. Bedell confirmed his recommendation is to approve the low bid from H and L Concrete,
Inc., dba Naranjo Civil Constructors, Inc., which is based out of the City of Greeley. He stated the
Department has worked with the company before on a bridge project, and it provided good work. He
stated the grant will provide $360,000 towards the project and the County will pay the remainder of the
cost. Responding to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Bedell confirmed the bridge project on County
Road 2 is complete and it will be the main detour route when County Road 6 is closed. In response to
Commissioner Rademacher, Mr. Bedell confirmed this bridge will not be widened; however, the piles
will be encased in reinforced concrete, a new rail will be constructed, a new water-proofing membrane
will be added, and new asphalt will be applied. Further responding to Commissioner Rademacher,
Mr. Bedell stated the rehabilitation is anticipated to last approximately 20 years and it will sufficiently
raise the rating of the bridge. He stated the Department will host a public meeting in the Town of
Wattenburg, in order to provide notification of the two-month closure and the proposed detour route.
Responding to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Bedell stated he has not had discussions with the gravel
pit operators in the area and he will have to review the improvements agreements to see if the
operators should be contributing toward the cost of the project. In response to Chair Conway,
Mr. Bedell stated the project will commence mid-March and last until mid-May, and staff intends to have
it completed before the peak of the spring runoff. Responding to Commissioner Rademacher,
Mr. Bedell stated the Department did not review the design for a 4-lane bridge, since the traffic counts
Minutes, February 27, 2012 2012-0564
Page 2 BC0016
did not warrant it and the bridge is not being replaced; it is just being rehabilitated. Commissioner
Rademacher moved to approve the low bid from Naranjo Civil Constructors. Seconded by
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.
PRESENT AND APPROVE BID #61200052, BRIDGE #6/25A CONSULTANT FOR CONSTRUCTION
SERVICES - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS: Ms. Mika stated the Department of Public Works
recommends acceptance of the low bid from Felsburg, Holt, and Ullevig. Commissioner Kirkmeyer
moved to approve the low bid from Felsburg, Holt, and Ullevig, in the amount of $35,340.00. Seconded
by Commissioner Rademacher, the motion carried unanimously.
RECONSIDER BID #B1200002, SUV-4X4 - SHERIFF'S OFFICE: Ms. Mika stated after previously
awarding the bid for this vehicle, it was discovered that it did not meet the specifications regarding the
seating. She stated she previously presented an alternative bid to the Board, and she requested a
work session regarding it, since the previously awarded bid is for a quantity of one (1) vehicle and now
a quantity of two (2) vehicles is being proposed. She recommended rejecting the acceptance of the bid
at this time. In response to the Board, Mr. Barker recommended a motion be made to reconsider the
bid, and then the Board can make a motion to reject the bid, if it desires. Mr. Barker stated he is
concerned about the vendor which was previously awarded the bid. Ms. Mika stated the bid was
awarded to Stone Mountain and it has withdrawn its bid proposal. In response to Chair Conway,
Ms. Mika stated Barb Connolly, Controller, spoke to a representative from Stone Mountain concerning
the matter; however, she is in another meeting at this time.
Marcia Walters, Department of Purchasing, clarified the bid was approved from the low vendor;
however, after the approval, it was discovered the bid proposal was for the wrong vehicle. She stated
the bid was then going to be awarded to the second lowest bidder, which was the same vendor;
however, it was later discovered this was not a transportation vehicle, it was an investigation vehicle.
She stated due to this, the vehicle would need to be rebid; then it was discovered that the Sheriff's
Office needs two (2) transportation vehicles, and not an investigation vehicle. Ms. Walters stated no
vehicles have actually been purchased for this bid. Mr. Barker concurred with Commissioner Kirkmeyer
that no action is needed because all the parties are aware of the circumstances and the matter is not
being re-bid; an entirely new bid will be considered on March 12, 2012, as Bid #B1200051, SUV-4X4 -
Sheriff's Office.
NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDER TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF CR 78 BETWEEN CRS 43 AND 45: Janet Carter,
Department of Public Works, stated said closure will commence March 12, 2012, through March 15,
2012, in order to replace a culvert. She stated the average daily traffic count for County Road 78 is
89 vehicles, according to a traffic count taken in the year 2008, and water will be utilized for dust control
on the gravel portions of the detour route. She stated standard signs and barricades will be utilized.
Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve said closure. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer,
the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER APPOINTMENTS TO AREA AGENCY ON AGING ADVISORY BOARD: Commissioner
Garcia moved to appoint Judy Yamaguchi, Thomas "Jerry" Kearney, Willis Kulp, Wayne Wagner, and
Ken Humphrey to the Area Agency on Aging Advisory Board, with terms to expire January 31, 2015.
Commissioner Rademacher seconded the motion. Chair Conway stated he is thrilled with the quality
and expertise of the new appointees, and they will all bring incredible life skills to the board and will be
tremendous assets. He stated he was also impressed by the number of applicants and their
enthusiasm to serve on the board. There being no further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.

NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDER INITIAL HEARING CONCERNING RESCINDING USR #1030 - BURLINGTON
NORTHERN SANTA FE RAILROAD COMPANY (CON'T FROM 1/25/12): Kim Ogle, Department of
Planning Services, stated staff received the plat for Use by Special Review (USR) Permit #1030 and
the applicant has completed all the building inspections; therefore, he recommends this matter be
dismissed. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Ogle confirmed it took 19 years for the
applicant to complete the requirements. Commissioner Kirkmeyer indicated she hopes the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railroad Company considers the amount of time the County staff invested into
working with it to complete this USR Permit when the County needs to cross its tracks with roads in the
future. Commissioner Rademacher moved to dismiss the matter. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Garcia. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she desires to send a letter expressing her
frustration with the length of time it took for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Company to
complete this planning process. Upon a call for the vote, the motion carried three (3) to one (1), with
Commissioner Kirkmeyer opposed due to the excessive amount of time it took to finalize the plat and
the abuse of County staff time.
PLANNING:
CONSIDER CANCELLATION AND RELEASE OF COLLATERAL FOR 2NDAMUSR #1125 — HALL-
IRWIN CORPORATION: Chris Gathman, Department of Planning Services, stated staff has reviewed
the site and recommends release of the remaining collateral. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to
approve the cancellation and release of the collateral for Second Amended Use by Special Review
Permit#1125, as recommended by staff. Seconded by Commissioner Rademacher, the motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER REPLACEMENT COLLATERAL FOR FRANCHISE AGREEMENT — BAJA
BROADBAND, LLC: Mr. Barker stated this replacement collateral is being submitted as a result of a
transfer from US Cable to Baja Broadband, LLC. In response to Commissioner Conway, Mr. Barker
reviewed the service area for the record. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve the replacement
collateral for said franchise agreement. Seconded by Commissioner Rademacher, the motion carried
unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
Consent Agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Acting Clerk to the Board.

Agricultural Best Management Practices:
Helping to Reduce Nitrogen Impacts at Rocky Mountain National Park

' RockyThountam NP, Coloraad*
What is the issue and Nitrogen emissions from a variety of human made sources,including ammonia

nitrogen deposition at Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in Colorado.
In 2006, Colorado's crop and livestock producers and researchers at Colorado

(NPS),the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,to address nitrogen deposition impacts at

Subject: Fwd: Who am I?

Date: Monday, February 13, 2012 3:33 PM
I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was
born in another country. I was not his only child. He
fathered several children with numerous women.
I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no
interest in me.
Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me,
I later wrote a book idolizing my father----not my mother.
Later in life, questions arose over my real name.
My birth records were sketchy.
No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth
certificate. -
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity,
as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I
practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn't follow
Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young
adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about
them.
That was before I decided it was time to get serious about
my life and embarked on a new career.
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.
http://us.mg5.mail.yahoo.corn/neo/launch?.rand=7srRfllnnA.;;,
Print Page 2 of 4
It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had
difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a
child.
I became active in local politics in my 30's, then, with help
behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a
candidate for national office in my 40's.
They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into
anything.
I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history,
and no experience in leading a single organization.
Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to
me, as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing
tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public
appearances.
This bolstered my ego.
At first, my political campaign focused on my country's
foreign policy...
I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized
every opportunity to bash my country.
But what launched my rise to national prominence were my
views on the country's economy.
I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do
better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for
free.
I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this
httn'//nc mo5 mail vahnn rnm/nan/lannr69 .a...7—'/ .Qmn L ::♦ . . . ,.,....

mess.
It was the free market, banks and corporations.
I decided to start making citizens hate them and, if they
became envious of others who did well, the plan was
clinched tight.
I called mine "A People's Campaign."
That sounded good to all people.
I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from
outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain
widespread popular support.
I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope', together
we could change our country and the world..
So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on
behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant, and to include
"persecuted minorities".
My true views were not widely known and I kept them
unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.
I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have
easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply
read my writings and examined those people I associated
with. I'm glad they didn't.
Then I became the most powerful man in the world.
And then the world learned the truth.
Who am I?
