PUBLIC WORKS FUND SUMMARY
The Public Works Fund records all costs related to Weld County road and bridge construction
and maintenance. This fund is also utilized for allocation of monies to cities and towns for use
in their road and street activities. The resources for 2012 total $51,394,191 which includes a
fund balance of$22,800,000, in addition to the revenue shown in the budget. Property tax is set
at $6,987,191. Specific ownership tax is estimated to be $6,330,000, the same as 2011.
Regular HUTF is at $8,040,000 due to people driving less and more fuel efficient vehicles.
However, with the passage of SB09-109, Weld County will receive $1,810,000 from the added
HUTF revenue resulting from this new legislation. Total HUTF will be $9,850,000, up $320,000.
Other revenues include $1,792,000 from transportation impact fees. Permit revenues are
budgeted at $400,000. Motor vehicle registration fees are up $50,000, and grazing fees are up
$10,000.
Federal mineral lease revenues are down $200,000 due to the creation of the Weld County
Federal Mineral Lease District. The federal mineral lease revenue will flow through the new
district and then Public Works will apply to the district for the funding of projects. In 2012, the
district is funding $790,000 in oil and gas haul route projects. The $790,000 is budgeted in other
revenues from project reimbursements.
Other revenues from project reimbursements total $2,717,000, which are up $1,882,000.
Transportation impact fees are budgeted at $1,792,000. There is also a grant of $135,000 from
Union Pacific Railroad for the crossing improvement on CR 80. Severance tax is budgeted at
$1,810,000, up $210,000 for 2012. In accordance with the policy adopted by the Board of
County Commissioners in 2010, the severance tax revenue is budgeted at a five year leveling
average due to the fluctuations of the revenue created by the price and production levels of oil
and gas commodities.
The budgeted appropriations for Public Works in 2012 total $32,570,248 up $5,459,291.
Municipal share back is funded at $1,452,940. Budget reflects a 10 percent increase in health
insurance costs. The county contribution to the Weld County Retirement Plan was increased
3.5 percent. 2012 salary increases are funds for step increases due employees in 2012 and a
2 percent cost of living salary adjustment is included in this budget for a total of$321,000.
The overall Public Works budget has been impacted $885,247 due to the increase in fuel costs.
The Other Public Works budget is up $4,905,575 based on the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
$4,000,000 has been added for the Haul Route Program (HARP). HARP is to improve roads
impacted by the oil and gas industry's heavy hauling on county roads due to the new
exploration. The Haul Route Program road improvement plan has been developed in
conjunction with the energy industry to identify haul routes that need to be improved to
accommodate the heavy hauling traffic and address safety issues. Contract payments
decreased $396,000 for CIP projects. Strategic Roads increased $1,021,575 based on CIP
projects which include the grant match for UPRR grant on CR 80 ($135,000), and the
intersections of CR 49 and CR 54 ($65,000), CR 55 and SH 392 ($925,575), and CR 60.5 and
CR 53 ($169,000). Strategic Road ROW and utility costs include funds for the intersections of
CR 55 and SH 392 ($61,500) and CR 60.5 and CR 53 ($50,000). Grants decreased $80,000 as
there will be no bridge grants in 2012. Right-of-way purchases and utility relocations increased
$360,000 based on CIP projects which include the project at CR 23/SH 392 ($250,000), CR 28-
7/9.5 ($30,000) and Bridge/Road at 42/29A ($70,000). Pavement Management is funded at an
increased level of $192,274, with $3,100,000 included for asphalt purchases. Over time, the
department has been reduced where possible. Seasonal staffing is maintained at the current
level. Other operating budgets for road and bridge maintenance are funded at near the 2011
270
funding level. With some operational economies to offset fuel costs the current service level
should be able to be maintained with the funding recommended.
The 2012 Public Works Capital Improvements Plan is available on the county web site at
http://www.co.weld.co.us/departments/public works/index.html.

CONCERNING LOCAL
ACCOUNTABILITY
FOR MONEY USED
FOR HIGHWAY PURPOSES
In accordance with Section 29-1-110, C.R.S., 1973, at a public hearing on the budget, Weld
County must discuss the proposed use of its allocation of highway users tax fund monies and
the County Public Works Fund and provide an opportunity for any elector to be heard on the
expenditure of such monies for the current year and for the fiscal year governed by the
proposed budget.
The proposed use of the 2012 allocation of highway user tax fund monies and county road and
bridge fund are as follows:
Maintenance of Condition $ 6,222,786
Maintenance Support 1,420,458
Trucking 2,206,756
TOTAL $ 9,850.000
272
CONSTRUCTION BIDDING FOR
STATE-FUNDED LOCAL PROJECTS
In accordance with Sections 29-1-701 through 707, C.R.S., as amended, cities or counties of
30,000 persons or more are required to bid projects of over $150,000. Local governments are
required to bid competitively among private contractors for projects using Highway Users Tax
Fund money (state funded projects), and are prohibited from dividing projects into two or more
projects to evade provisions of the act.
"State-funded public project" means any construction, alteration, repair, demolition, or
improvement by any agency of local government of any land, structure, facility, road, highway,
bridge, or other public improvement suitable for and intended for use in the promotion of the
public health, welfare, or safety and any defined maintenance project which is funded in whole,
or in part, from the highway users tax fund and which may be reasonably expected to exceed
$150,000 in the aggregate for any fiscal year.
"Defined maintenance project" means any project that involves a significant reconstruction,
alteration, or improvement of any existing road, highway, bridge, structure, facility, or other
public improvement, including, but not limited to, repairing or seal coating of roads or highways
or major internal or external reconstruction or alteration of existing structures. "Defined
maintenance project" does not include routine maintenance activities such as snow removal,
minor surface repair of roads or highways, cleaning of ditches, regrading of unsurfaced roads,
repainting, replacement of floor coverings, or minor reconstruction or alteration of existing
structures.
Based upon the above definitions, Weld County's Public Works 2012 budget would be allocated
as follows by the above categories:
TOTAL HUTF STATE LOCAL/OTHER
Bridge Construction $ 3,771,844 $ 0 $ 3,771,844
Maintenance of Condition 6,222,786 6,222,786 0

Contract 1,164,000 0 1,164,000
TOTAL $32.570.248 $ 9.850.000 $22,720.248
Based upon the above allocation, Weld County is not required to competitively bid any service.
However, it is anticipated that Weld County will bid out $3,100,000 in asphalt purchases and
contracts for overlays and reconstruction, and chip and seal of $1,140,000, for a total of
$4,240,000 in bid projects for 2012. A major portion of the $1,406,075 earmarked for Strategic
Roads and $1,164,000 for contracts may also be contracted, which raises the potential bid
project amount to $6,810,075 Maintenance of effort requirement was eliminated by the 1994
State Legislature, effective with the 1995 budget; therefore, it is not demonstrated in this budget
document.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The resources for 2012 total $53,414,191, which includes a fund
balance of $22,800,000, in addition to the revenue shown in the budget. Property tax is set at
$6,987,191. Specific ownership tax is estimated to be $6,330,000, the same as 2011. Regular
HUTF is at $8,040,000 due to people driving less and more fuel efficient vehicles. However,
with the passage of SB09-109, Weld County will receive $1,810,000 from the added HUTF
revenue resulting from this new legislation. Total HUTF will be $9,850,000 up $320,000. Other
revenues include $1,792,000 from transportation impact fees. Permit revenues are budgeted at
$400,000. Motor vehicle registration fees are up $50,000 and grazing fees are up $10,000.
Federal mineral lease revenues are down $200,000 due to the creation of the Weld County
Federal Mineral Lease District. The federal mineral lease revenue will flow through the new
district and then Public Works will apply to the district for the funding of projects. In 2012, the
district is funding $790,000 in oil and gas haul route projects. The $790,000 is budgeted in other
revenues from project reimbursements.
Other revenues from project reimbursements total $4,737,000, which are up $3,902,000.
Transportation impact fees are budgeted at $1,792,000. Reimbursements for the intersection of
CR 23/SH 392 project include $1,820,000 from CDOT, $100,000 from Severance, and
$100,000 from Windsor. There is also a grant of $135,000 from Union Pacific Railroad for the
crossing improvement on CR 80. Severance tax is budgeted at $1,810,000 up $210,000 for
2012. In accordance with the policy adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in 2010,
the severance tax revenue is budgeted at a five year leveling average due to the fluctuations of
the revenue created by the price and production levels of oil and gas commodities.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval.
BOARD ACTION: The revenue for the intersection of CR 23/SH 392 project including
$1,820,000 from CDOT, $100,000 from Severance, and $100,000 from Windsor was deleted in
the final budget due to CDOT and NFRMPO not funding the project until 2013.

added 3.5 percent to fully fund the annual retirement contribution (ARC) amount is included in
the budget per the July 11, 2011, work session decision. There are no other benefit changes.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Salary adjustment amount is a Board
policy issue.
BOARD ACTION: Approved as recommended, except the Board lowered the cost of living
adjustment from 3 percent to 2 percent. All other benefit amounts were approved as
recommended including increasing the county's and employees' contribution to the Weld
County Retirement Plan to fully fund the annual retirement contribution (ARC) amount.

SOCIAL SERVICES FUND SUMMARY
Weld County Department of Human Services continues to face challenges created by the
economic downturn, the uncertainties of continued adequate funding for programs, and the
reporting requirements associated with the programs administered.
The total Social Services Fund budget is $26,697,167. The programs are funded by property
tax of $9,995,400, and state and federal funds of $16,701,767. Social Services is down
$1,867,333 from 2011 primarily due to the Building Healthy Marriages program's five year grant
expiring September 30, 2011. This program was funded at $2,395,000 in 2011. The Department
continues to pursue innovative programs to avoid, or reduce the duration of, clients' need for
services. While this may, in some cases, drive greater costs in the current year, it is anticipated
that these measures will enable the Department to avoid costs in future years.
As consumer costs for fuel, utilities, and food continue to rise, and as homeowners face
mortgage foreclosure situations, more Weld County citizens are being placed in a position of
requiring assistance. Food Assistance and Low Income Energy Assistance (LEAP) caseloads
have continued to experience significant increases in the past year. The department anticipates
growth in Old age Pension (OAP) over the next decade due to the number of citizens that are
reaching retirement age. The Department has increased the amount of resources dedicated to
detecting client fraud. The major challenge associated with fraud is the difficulty of establishing
the true household composition.
The Colorado Benefits Management System (CBMS) continues to impact the productivity of
staff and create delays in the delivery of payments and benefits for Food Assistance, Medicaid,
Colorado Works, and State-Only Programs. Many of the inefficiencies creating these delays are
being resolved. However, the inefficiencies that remain continue to impact the time required to
process cases and the number of cases in pending status. There are efforts underway to
modify the Medicaid eligibility determination functions of CBMS, in order to streamline the
application process. Health Reform will likely also impact the manner in which Medicaid
eligibility is determined. Weld County will support these efforts only if they do not negatively
impact those seeking to apply for this assistance. Weld County has fully exhausted its
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) County Reserve and is seeking to purchase
TANF funds from other counties that may be caught under this new legislation. New legislation
enacted in 2011, and supported strongly by Weld County, modified the legislation enacted in
2008, which limited the amount of reserves a county could carry, by setting the limit at
50 percent of the current year's Colorado Works allocation and by allowing funds that are
reverted to be made available to counties with low TANF Reserves.
Quality day care, at an affordable cost, will continue to be a challenge for working families to
obtain. The Department continues to develop methods of providing appropriate reimbursement
to providers, being careful to not monopolize the market. The Child Care Automated Tracking
System (CHATS) system has been replaced with an upgraded system, based on an electronic
attendance record of children in care to drive an automated payment to the provider for hours
for which the care has been authorized.

The demand for Child Welfare services continues to expand in Weld County, as it has
throughout the State. The Department is continuing to seek out and encourage the provision of
services, with their associated costs, early in the involvement with families, in order to avoid the
need for more costly services as the involvement continues. Working with the Inter-agency
Oversight Group, the Department has moved toward a policy of utilizing local placement options
for children, whenever possible, to increase parental involvement and to decrease case-worker
travel costs. The need for Supervised Visitations has become a significant issue in recent
years. The Department continues to participate in State-wide discussions regarding the method
used to allocate available Child Welfare appropriations among counties. The emphasis is on
providing counties with a better understanding of the model, so that we may use this knowledge
in making programmatic decisions in such a way that they both provide high quality services to
the citizens of Weld County and maximize our opportunity for available funding. Weld County is
anticipating an over-expenditure of its Child Welfare allocation in excess of $4,000,000. This
over-expenditure will be partially mitigated by the usage of excess Federal funds earned, but will
require the infusion of additional County General Funds to fully absorb.

Administration: Costs associated with administration also include compensation for direct
services through caseworkers, technicians, and support staff. In addition, overhead such as
rent, utilities, travel, supplies, and equipment are funded through administrative allocations. The
State establishes administrative allocations and reimburses at various rates depending on the
type of expenditure and program. Expenditures greater than allocation are not guaranteed to be
reimbursed. Generally, they are at least partially reimbursed through the use of transferred
TANF funds, surplus distribution, or Federal pass-thru revenues.

request,despite the fact that the less costly testing would be sufficient to evaluate compliance.
The Department will continue to utilize Medicaid and Private Insurance whenever possible for services deemed necessary before accessing other payment sources such as Core funding.Additional efforts will be made to
ensure that Medicaid-eligible clients are identified early on in a case and instructed to apply for Medicaid.Compliance with application requirements will be monitored.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Food Assistance caseloads continue to increase, dramatically. As
the economy weakens, more Weld County citizens are being placed in a position of requiring
and requesting assistance. The State computer systems designed to support these programs
have created inefficiencies the Department continues to deal with. New enhancements, such as
the PEAK (Program Eligibility Application Kit) have been implemented to increase access to all
programs served under CBMS Health Care reform, which will likely increase the number of
clients who qualify for, and will request, services. Medicaid caseloads have stabilized in recent
months, but will likely increase again as Health Care Reform policies are enacted, and as
HB 09-1293, which broadens the population eligible for Medicaid Assistance, is implemented.

Budget Positions - - - - - - - -
SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Property tax is budgeted at $9,995,400 for 2012. The difference is
a combination of special revenue from various department programs. Child Support Federal
Incentives are no longer received as direct revenue, but rather as a reimbursement of
expenditures, so they are reflected in Budget Unit 2100-42200. The Child Support TANF-
Retained Incentive is estimated at $190,000. Federal Stimulus funds, however, have been
appropriated to provide temporary additional funding, within the Child Support appropriation, to
make up the additional Federal funds originally lost due to the Deficit Reduction Act. The County
Contingency appropriation has been abolished, and re-funded to the County Tax Base Relief
Fund, from which Weld County will not likely receive revenues. The TANF Adjustment is
$740,000 and the TANF Work Participation Bonus is estimated to be earned at $145,000.
Incentives earned as the result of claims collections for Food Assistance, Medicaid, TANF, and
State-only Programs are estimated to be $75,000.

Commissioners are contemplating applying for a similar grant which would fund some of the
activities provided under the grant. The Food Stamp Fraud allocation, previously reported under
this budget category, will no longer be funded as a separate allocation, but will be rolled into the
County Administration allocation, effective July 1, 2011.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: No significant changes are anticipated in this program for 2012.
However, as fiscal pressures are dealt with, at the Federal and State levels, changes could be
forthcoming that will affect this funding. CBMS continues to impact the productivity of staff and
create delays in the delivery of payments and benefits. Many of the inefficiencies creating these
delays are being resolved. New legislation enacted in the 2008 Legislative Session placed
restrictions on the amount of Reserve counties are allowed to maintain. Weld County is not
currently in danger of forfeiting any of its Reserves, due to this legislation, but is eligible, under
new legislation, to receive transfers from other counties that are subject to this cap.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The Colorado Department of Human Services implemented an
upgraded version of the CHATS system, which tracks clients eligible for Child Care assistance
and pays providers for such assistance. The new system has created challenges for program

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The demand for Child Welfare services continues to expand in
Weld County, as it has throughout the State. The Department is continuing to seek out and
encourage the provision of services, with their associated costs, early in the involvement with
families, in order to avoid the need for more costly services as the involvement continues. The
new allocation methodology implemented has resulted in a substantial reduction to Weld
County's allocation. While costs in 2012 will remain fairly constant from 2010 and 2011 levels,
the availability of alternative funding has been severely reduced. This will necessitate the
increased usage of County General Funds.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval. More property tax
($1,000,000) for this program is anticipated in 2013 in the long range budget planning for the
county, unless the state allocation formula changes in a way that provides Weld County
financial relief.
BOARD ACTION: Approved as recommended.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: No significant changes are anticipated in this program for 2012.
However, as fiscal pressures are dealt with, at the Federal and State levels, changes could be
forthcoming that will affect this funding. Core Services will continue to be used to limit and
shorten the number of foster care placements and to meet the demands of the Drug Court and
associated programs. Like the Child Welfare program, alternative funding for this program is not
as available as it has been in prior years, thus requiring greater reliance on County General
Funds.

PUBLIC HEALTH FUND SUMMARY
The 2012 budget for the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment represents
an increase in net county cost of $255,242 over the approved 2011 budget. The department's
goal in preparing its budget for 2012 was to remain at level funding, except for increases related
to scheduled salary, i.e., step and Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), PERA, Medicare and
health insurance costs. These projected increases in personnel costs total $294,708.
Reductions in 2012 operating costs are actually absorbing $39,466 of the projected increase in
personnel costs to the county's General Fund. Despite continued growth in the population of
Weld County, the department is not requesting an increase in the county's General Fund
support to expand services or operations in 2012.
Department total staff numbers continue a four year decline with FTEs projected to decrease in
2012 to 85.83, or down over 9.0 FTE from 95.09 in the 2008 budget, and down from 86.43 in
2011. In preparing the 2012 budget, the department has once again worked diligently to control
growth in county General Fund spending while continuing to provide the ten essential public
health services to the growing number of residents of Weld County. All of the change in net
county cost to support public health infrastructure in the 2012 budget represent scheduled
personnel and insurance cost increases. The 2012 budget is requested to support achieving
Weld County's and the department's strategic goals and priorities, allow for the provision of the
ten essential public health services, and enable core public health functions to be fulfilled on
behalf of the residents of Weld County.
The Administration Services Division's 2012 budget projects a decrease of $9,266 in State per
capita revenue. Personnel Services reflects an increase of $26,138 as a result of the scheduled
step and proposed cost-of-living salary adjustments and other insurance and retirement
contribution adjustments. Some uncertainty remains in projecting revenue from vital records
services as the State moves to allow greater direct access to electronic information
documenting citizenship rather than requiring individuals to produce and present a hard copy of
a birth certificate. Administrative Services FTE remain level at 8.0.
The Health Communication, Education and Planning Division, of the department (formerly
known as Health Promotion Section) projects a net increase in county support for its programs
of only $3,648 when compared to 2011 with operations and grants absorbing most of the
projected scheduled personnel and insurance cost increases. HCEP FTE are projected at 9.0.
The Public Health Services (formerly known as Community Health Services or Nursing)
Division's 2012 budget includes a projected increase in net county cost of $201,571 due entirely
to scheduled salary and insurance increases of$201,581. PHS FTE are projected at 42.98.
The Environmental Health Services Division 2012 budget proposes an increase in net county
cost of $100,373 over the 2011 budget. With scheduled personnel and insurance increases for
2012 projected at $143,876, the division is absorbing almost a third of these increases through
operational savings. FTE for the Division are projected at 23.25 for 2012, which is the same as
2011.
340
The Public Health Preparedness Division's 2012 budget projects a decrease in net county cost
of $59,617 with operational efficiency savings absorbing 100 percent of the scheduled
personnel and insurance increases of $14,667. Starting in 2012, the Office of Emergency
Management (OEM) will combine functions of the OEM that were formerly under the Sheriff and
some of the Public Health Preparedness functions in the Health Department. The Director of
Public Health Preparedness position ($101,056) was eliminated. The department is eliminating
the Division Director position recognizing the responsibilities and duties needed to ensure the
department's staff are trained, databases are maintained, exercises are performed, and
community relationships with other first responders are supported can be done with less
personnel commitment. Besides the elimination of the Director of Public Health Preparedness
position, the 0.5 FTE Health Planner position ($58,107) was changed to a 1.0 FTE Public Health
Preparedness Coordinator/Generalist ($99,660). The Health Department Public Health
Preparedness unit will also retain the Epidemiologist, 0.5 FTE Community Services Specialists
and 0.1 FTE of the Health Communications Manager. The General Fund subsidy to the Health
Department will be reduced by $29,234 due to this reorganization. The reorganization will result
in greater efficiency allowing the division to reduce its expenses without compromising
operational readiness. Division FTE is projected at 2.6 for 2012.
The Department of Public Health and Environment remains challenged to keep pace with
service needs as the county population continues to grow and more families are living in
poverty. The complexity of work and intermittent surges in activity (e.g., bioterrorism readiness,
disease control, and investigation of various communicable diseases endemic to our region,
etc.) create unique staffing issues that stress routine operations. The department's 2012 budget
very conscientiously and modestly anticipates the workload for the coming year and will provide
it with the minimum resources needed to carry out its essential services and core functions in
support of Weld County's goals and objectives.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: There is a $26,137 proposed increase in Personnel Services. This
increase is the result of the increased cost of health insurance and an anticipated increase in
salaries due to step increases and possible cost of living adjustments in 2012.
There is a $10,000 increase in revenue based on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) pilot program Reimbursement Immunization Opportunity (RIZO) grant that is designed
to help county governments develop and implement methods of billing third party payors for
immunizations obtained by public health services clients. In the future, it is our hope that this
ability will also lead to increased reimbursements from third party payors for a broader spectrum
of services provided by the Health Department.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Personnel Services increased $201,581 resulting from
increased cost of health insurance, step increases for existing staff and anticipated cost
of living increase.
Supplies increased $12,276 due to increased costs in TB, Family Planning, and COFPI,
with smaller increases in most of the other 14 programs. Purchased Services decreased
due to spending in Nurse Home Visitor Program and projected loss of grant revenue.
Family Planning and the Family Planning Initiative will also have decreased costs in
services related to planned funding reductions. Significant decreased spending in data
processing will result in savings in all programs.
Decreased revenues of $116,236 are due primarily from reduced grant funding in
Family Planning ($16,492), Colorado Family Planning Initiative ($47,631), Women's
Wellness Connection ($18,630) and Maternal Health ($1,204). The Nurse Home Visitor
Program expects to see another 3.28 percent or less funding decrease and Family
Planning projects a national funding decrease of 5.5 percent, which may be passed on
to states. New grant funding includes CIIS ($25,000) for the Immunization Program and
the RIZO Grant may be renewed for the development of increased insurance
reimbursements in immunizations.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Overall net county cost is proposed to increase by $100,373.
However, if increased costs to Personnel Services are backed out, the Division's net county
cost would have decreased by $43,503. Personnel Services expenses have increased by
$143,876 primarily due to anticipated step increases, cost of living adjustment, and insurance.
The EHS Divisions Personnel Services includes Contra Expense ($76,383) which is a transfer
of 50 percent of expenses of the Planning Director position to Planning and Building Inspection.
The EHS Divisions request for Supplies has increased by 4 percent, or $7,050. The Divisions
request for Purchased Services increased by $6,267 or 1 percent. The Fixed Charges request
has increased by$3,554 or 2 percent.
Revenue is expected to increase by $57,394. The increase is due to continued growth of the
number of licenses issued in the Food Program ($14,500), an expanded state Air contract
($16,888), increased activity in ISDS ($15,000), Land Application ($6,500), and Laboratory
Medical Testing ($6,000).

BUDGET UNIT TITLE AND NUMBER: Public Health Preparedness - - 2580-41500
DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION: Public Health Preparedness utilizes grants and county funding
to enhance the ambient level of emergency preparedness, both internally (county organization)
and externally (constituents). This unit is charged with preparing for, and responding to,
incidents and events, which threaten the quality and quantity of life within the purview of health
and environment; develops exercises and evaluates various plans, procedures and protocols
associated with emergency preparedness; is assigned disease investigation duties and
functions, along with regional bioterrorism laboratory duties and functions; houses the
county-wide Health Alert Network, communications and warning operations; and is engaged in
local, regional, state and national collaborative efforts associated with these disciplines.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Personnel Services decreased by $14,567. The Department is
eliminating the Division Director position. The Department will be combining an existing 0.5 FTE
emergency planning generalist position with 0.5 FTE of public health emergency preparedness
manager position. The emergency planning generalist position was budgeted as a contractor for
2011, so the change resulted in a net increase of 0.1 FTE. Due to a reduction of grant funding
of $41,602 there has been a reduction of supplies ($7,726), purchased services ($25,974) and
fixed charges $52,952.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: The Department is eliminating the
Division Director position recognizing the responsibilities and duties needed to ensure the
Department's staff are trained, databases are maintained, exercises are performed and
community relationships with other first responders are supported can be done with less
personnel commitment. The Department will be combining an existing 0.5 FTE emergency
planning generalist position with a 0.5 FTE of public health emergency preparedness manager
position resulting in greater efficiency allowing the Division to reduce its expenses without
compromising operational readiness.

($99,660). The Health Department Public Health Preparedness unit will also retain the
Epidemiologist, 0.5 FTE Community Services Specialist, and 0.1 FTE of the Health
Communications Manager. The General Fund subsidy to the Health Department will be reduced
by $29,234. All other items approved as recommended.

HUMAN SERVICES FUND SUMMARY
The Human Services Fund is funded at $7,133,434 for 2012, which is down $2,032,508, or
22.18 percent, from the previous year, primarily in the area of Jobs programs ($618,662) and
Supplemental Foods ($1,428,630). Regarding Supplemental Food, the department has
requested that the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) contract directly with the
Weld Food Bank for the reimbursement of these services, thus removing the county as a
middle-man in the process. The change in administration will have no impact on the amount of
food commodities that clients will receive in Weld County. Community Services Block Grant is
down $99,270. Area Agency on Aging programs are up $42,443, or 1.9 percent. Senior
Nutrition is up $35,511 or 8.4 percent. Other programs are stable with little change.
Being totally reliant upon state and federal funding sources, Human Services continues to
operate in an environment of uncertainty. The Human Services Fund budget has been
constructed based upon the best available information on the funding levels. It is very likely that
many of the amounts will be changed between now and the actual execution of the 2012
budget.
The primary programs of Human Services are associated with the Workforce Investment Act
(WIA) funded under the Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. This
program is anticipating $2,897,604 for 2012. Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)
is funded at $717,256 primarily for training of TANF clients. In addition, the Job Service contract
will be $662,480 down $449,642 due to a variety of reasons. First, the basic allocation dropped
from $892,122 to the $662,480. There is a possibility that this will be restored in the final federal
budget discussions, but an increase cannot be guaranteed. Secondly, approximately $267,000
was carry-over funds from program year 2010 into 2011, which will not be available in 2012.
There were approximately $323,000 in ARRA funds that were included in the 2011 budget,
which will not be available in the 2012 budget.
The Human Services Fund is totally funded through state and federal programs, with the
exception of the 25 percent local match for the Aging program, which amounts to $12,351.
Other programs of the Human Services Fund remain relatively stable programmatically with the
following 2012 funding levels:
Area Agency on Aging $ 2,268,164
Senior Nutrition $ 457,749
CSBG $ 117,830
In the above programs, Weld County must continue to be responsive and reactive to federal and
state administrative and budget changes in 2012.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The reduction is due to a variety of reasons. First, the basic
allocation dropped from $892,122 to the $662,480. There is a possibility that this will be restored
in the final federal budget discussions, but an increase cannot be guaranteed. Secondly,
approximately $267,000 was carry-over funds from program year 2010 into 2011, which will not
be available in 2012. There were approximately $323,000 in ARRA funds that were included in
the 2011 budget, which will not be available in the 2012 budget.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds are established to account for taxes or other earmarked revenue of the
county which finance specified activities as required by law or administrative action.
CONTINGENCY FUND:
The Contingency Fund is funded at the level of $8,000,000. Given the uncertainty of state and
federal funding and tax collections, it is recommended that this amount, coupled with the
$20,000,000 carry-over fund balance in the Contingency Fund, be retained. The fund balance
will serve as a stabilization reserve for fluctuating revenues due to Weld County's heavy
dependency on oil and gas assessed values that can fluctuate dramatically from year to year
due to production levels and price changes. Besides serving as a general contingency reserve,
the fund is available to mitigate impacts from the oil and gas industry, such as unanticipated
road and bridge heavy hauling impacts.
SOLID WASTE FUND:
The Solid Waste Fund is funded at the anticipated revenue level of fees at $685,000. There is
an anticipated beginning fund balance of $500,000. The Department of Public Health and
Environment costs will be $373,127 for the Household Hazardous Waste Program; $134,782 is
funded for solid waste inspections and monitoring by the Health Department; $15,000 for
community cleanups; and $77,091 to fund the roadside trash pickup program with Useful Public
Service clients. $85,000 is funded by a transfer to the Sheriffs Office to support code
enforcement for illegal dumping.
CONSERVATION TRUST FUND:
The Conservation Trust Fund is budgeted at $387,000 based upon the anticipated operating
costs for 2012. The budget reflects funding of Island Grove Park only.
EMERGENCY RESERVE FUND:
The Emergency Reserve Fund is established per Amendment One (TABOR), passed
November 3, 1992. The amendment requires that an emergency reserve be created to be used
for declared emergencies only. It also requires each local government to reserve one percent
or more for 1993, two percent or more for 1994, and three percent or more for all later years of
the fiscal year spending, excluding bonded debt service. Caused reserves apply to the next
year's reserve. A reserve of $6,000,000 has been established for 2012, which is greater than
the required three percent of fiscal spending.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Revenue from the Colorado Lottery is being projected at $382,500
and $4,500 from interest earnings. For 2012, the budget for the county buildings at Island Grove
Park is proposed at $491,984. This represents an increase from the 2011 budget of $13,662
or 2.9 percent. Revenue from rents and facility use fees for 2012 is estimated at $112,500
which is the same as 2011. The county payment for 2012 is proposed at $379,484 which is an
increase of $16,777 from the 2011 payment of $362,707, an increase of 4.6 percent. The
increase in the 2012 county payment reflects not only the increase in the 2012 budget but also
the increase in salaries granted in 2011 after the county payment had been established. A total
of $7,516 is allocated for capital improvements to the buildings. Since 2002, the Missile Site
Park has been funded in the General Fund.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval. Please note that
the 2012 expenditure estimates do not include potential raises that may be granted to city
employees. If Greeley City Council decides to grant raises, an adjustment in the county
payment would need to be made.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The Contingency Fund is funded at the level of $8,000,000 with
property tax. A beginning fund balance of $20,000,000 is anticipated. An ending fund balance
of $28,000,000 is projected, assuming no contingency funds are needed in 2012. The fund
balance will serve as a stabilization reserve for fluctuating revenues due to Weld County's
heavy dependency on oil and gas assessed values that can fluctuate dramatically from year to
year due to production levels and price changes. Besides serving as a general contingency
reserve, the fund is available to mitigate impacts from the oil and gas industry, such as
unanticipated road and bridge heavy hauling impacts.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Due to the annexation of the Erie Laidlaw Landfill, the revenue
from that site ($740,000 annually), has not been received since 2007. Therefore, the revenue
estimate is $685,000. The Department of Public Health and Environment costs for the
Household Hazardous Waste program will be $373,127. $15,000 is budgeted for community
clean-ups, and $77,091 to fund the roadside trash pick-up program with Useful Public Service
clients. $134,782 is funded for solid waste inspections and monitoring by the Health
Department. Since the landfill sites no longer impact county roads due to being located off of
state highways, no funds are provided for road projects to mitigate landfill impacts.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval. There are no
undesignated funds in the 2012 budget to mitigate impacts of landfills, such as road access,
cleanups, and transfer stations. A $500,000 fund balance also exists for the same needs, if
required.
As indicated above, revenues have been held conservative. Due to the annexation of the
second Erie landfill, the County has lost the revenue from that site. Erie will pay approximately
$13,000 for Health Department inspections of the landfill in Erie and for costs to offset the
receiving of household hazardous wastes from Erie residents. Revenue in 2010 was increased
on a one-time basis due to an EPA clean-up near the Wyoming border hauling materials to the
Ault landfill. Revenues from the one-time EPA clean-up were close to $450,000. In 2012, the
revenue will return to the normal level of$685,000.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FUND SUMMARY
The Capital Expenditures Fund was established to budget for financial resources used for the
acquisition or improvement of capital facilities of the County. A detailed Long Range Capital
Plan for 2012-2016 is presented in this section and relates to the specifics of the 2012 capital
project budget.
The Capital Expenditures Fund accounts for various capital improvement projects for county
buildings. The 2012 program is funded at $7,600,000, with $7,200,000 from property tax,
$100,000 from capital expansion fees, and $300,000 from interest. Anticipated projects include
$2,350,000 for the communications system upgrade, $250,000 for upgrades of Public Works
facilities, and $900,000 for special projects. A carry-over beginning fund balance of$3,300,000
is anticipated, and $7,400,000 ending reserve fund balance for the future jail expansion
($6,200,000) and Downtown Greeley land reserve ($1,200,000) is anticipated at the end of
2012.
Capital projects impacting the 2012 and future years' operational costs include the additional
Regional Crime Lab. The Regional Crime Lab will add $240,000 in operational and maintenance
costs in 2013; however, the participating law enforcement agencies will each pay one-fifth of the
costs, so Weld County's share will only be $48,000. It is estimated that the additional jail space
planned for construction in 2016 will impact the operational budget by $1,210,000 in 2016,
$770,000 in 2017, and $1,100,000 in 2018.
Special projects and Public Works facility projects are primarily cosmetic and major
maintenance enhancements to buildings that will not impact operating costs, but will improve
the appearance and functionality of the buildings involved.

LONG RANGE CAPITAL PROJECTS
FIVE YEAR PLAN
2012 - 2016
INTRODUCTION:
Section 14-3 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter provides:
"The Board may require that the Director of Finance and Administration submit,
at the time of submission of the annual budget, a five-year capital improvements
program and budget. Such program shall include recommended projects,
construction schedule, estimate of cost, anticipated revenue sources, methods of
financing, and such other information as may be required."
This five-year plan projects capital improvements for 2012 - 2016.
The recommended program for capital construction is intended as a guideline to be adjusted by
the Board of County Commissioners on an annual basis. It represents flexible goals for
organizing solutions to county program needs, and it is intended to provide the Board of County
Commissioners with the perspective for making fiscal policy decisions. Annual modifications in
the plan will reflect necessary adjustments and priorities, changes in programs, and
readjustments of other county fiscal requirements.
This report has four (4) sections:
1. Introduction
2. Financing Alternatives
3. 2012 - 2016 Five-year Plan
4. 2012 Budgetary Impact
The section on financing recommends a program for funding the next five years' capital
construction. This section lists the various sources of revenue currently available to the county,
and the alternatives available for financing the remainder of the capital projects program. The
2012 - 2016 five-year plan section provides a list of recommended projects and the time
schedule for the next five fiscal years. Additionally, it provides justification for the
recommendation and attempts to enumerate problems and recommended solutions for the
capital improvements program over the next five years. The project section describes each
recommended project, and provides information on the existing situation, the proposed solution,
and the financing plan for each project.
The last section of the report provides a recommended 2012 budget for the capital construction
program. It provides specific detail regarding each recommended project and the impact on the
2012 County Budget.
419
FINANCING ALTERNATIVES
420
FINANCING
Overview:
There are a number of ways to finance capital improvement projects. Some of the most
common methods are:
1. Pay as you go:
Pay as you go is a method of financing capital projects with current revenues --
paying cash instead of borrowing against future revenues. Pay as you go has
several advantages. First, it saves interest cost. Second, pay as you go protects
borrowing capacity for unforeseen major outlays that are beyond any current
year's capacity. Third, when coupled with regular, steady completion of capital
improvements and good documentation and publicity, pay as you go fosters
favorable bond ratings when long term financing is undertaken. Finally, the
technique avoids the inconvenience and considerable cost associated with
marketing of bond issues, advisors, counsel, printing, etc.
However, there are practical and theoretical disadvantages to a pay as you go
policy. First, pay as you go puts a heavy burden on the project year. Second, it
creates awkward fluctuating expenditure cycles which do not occur with extended
financing. Third, a long life asset should be paid for by its users throughout its
normal life rather than all at once by those who may not have the use of it for the
full term. Finally, when inflation is driving up construction costs, it may be
cheaper to borrow and pay today's prices rather than wait and pay tomorrow's.
2. All borrowing policy:
An all borrowing policy or a substantial reliance on debt financing is another
approach. The annual available resources could be used entirely for debt
service with the size of the annual resources setting the limit on the amount that
could be borrowed.
3. Capital reserve:
A capital reserve plan is an approach where the annual resources available could
be accumulated in one or more capital reserve funds, the amounts invested, and
when any funds become adequate to pay for a proposed project, the fund could
be expended. This is a good approach when a county has a capital requirement
which can wait. Accumulation of the necessary capital funds over a period of
time is a feasible approach, assuming a relatively stable construction dollar.
KB 82-1111, passed in 1982, specifically provides for a capital improvements
trust fund for capital reserves.
421
4. Partial pay as you go policy:
A partial pay as you go policy is a common approach. Some of the annual
resources would be used to finance capital improvements directly, and the
remainder would go for supporting a debt program. Even if a local government
pursues a borrowing policy, an initial down payment out of current revenues is a
possibility. A customary five to ten percent down is a limited pay as you go
policy, and assures that the voters authorizing the approval will make a cash
contribution so all of the burden will not be postponed.
5. Joint financing:
An ever increasing number of cities and counties are benefitting from joint
development of a project. The construction of a city/county office building and
recreational areas are examples. This avenue of funding and planning capital
projects normally is advantageous to both jurisdictions.
6. Lease/Purchase:
Local governments can utilize lease/purchase methods for needed public works
projects by having it constructed by a private company or authority. The facility is
then leased by the jurisdiction on an annual or a monthly rental. At the end of the
lease period, the title to the facility can be conveyed to the jurisdiction without
any future payments. The rental over the years will have paid the total original
cost plus interest. This method has been used successfully in a number of
jurisdictions. The utilization of a building authority would fall under this category
of financing.
Numerous considerations are involved in the selection of the foregoing approaches, or some
combination thereof:
1. Political realities may preclude utilization of one or more of the above
alternatives. For example, the passage of general obligation bonds as a debt
financing mechanism has not met recent success at the polling places in most
jurisdictions.
2. The pay as you go concept has three distinct advantages.
A. It provides great flexibility to the county for future periods of economic
recession or depression and does not accumulate large fixed-charge
costs.
B. It avoids the payment of interest charges.
C. It imposes upon public officials the full political responsibility for levy of
the taxes necessary to pay the local share of such projects.
3. The debt financing approach has the advantage of spreading the cost over a
generation of current users of public facilities, thereby imposing upon each a
significant portion of the cost of each project.
422
4. In an inflationary period, one must take into account the extent to which
prepayment for capital outlay is warranted, when the opportunity for repayment of
the principal and interest in dollars that are less expensive can be arranged.
5. During periods of rapid rise in costs, the time delay necessary to accumulate
down payments or full pay as you go resources invites higher costs which may
wipe out most, if not all, of the advantages of non-payment of interest.
In the five-year capital projects plan, a combination of funding methods will be recommended to
finance capital construction in an attempt to balance the economy of a payment in full program
with the fairness of sharing the burden among present and future taxpayers.
This recommended financial program reflects consideration of many factors, including the
availability of cash, anticipated interest rates at the time of construction, and projected
inflationary cost increases that would result from project delays.
423
DEBT FINANCING
Before discussing specific types of borrowing, it is appropriate to review some of the basic
constitutional statutory provisions which generally are applicable to debt financing.
Article XI, Section 6, of the Colorado Constitution, provides that no debt may be created by a
political subdivision of the state, unless the question of incurring such debt has been approved
by a majority of the qualified electorate voting. Any obligation paid, or contracted to be paid, out
of a fund that is a product of a tax levy is a debt within the means of the Constitution (Trinidad
vs. Haxby, 136 Colorado 168, 315 p 2d 204 -- 1957).
In addition to voter approval, Article XI, Section 6, requires the debt be incurred by adoption of a
legislative measure which is irrevocable until the indebtedness is fully paid or discharged. The
ordinance must:
1. Set forth the purpose for which the bond proceeds will be applied, and
2. Provide for the levy of the tax which, together with such other revenues as may
be pledged, will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest of the debt.
The Constitution delegates to the Legislature the duty to establish statutory limitations on the
incurrence of debt. The total amount of debt which a county may incur may not exceed three
percent (3%) of the assessed value in the county, which is over $140 million dollars in Weld
County.
Section 4 of Article X, Section 20 (TABOR Amendment), requires voter approval for any form of
multi-year debt. It states that an election is required: "Except for the refinancing of district
bonded debt at a lower interest rate or adding new employees to existing district pension plans,
creation of any multiple-fiscal year direct or indirect district debt or other financial obligation
whatsoever without adequate present cash reserves pledged irrevocable and held for payments
in all future fiscal years."
In addition to the state statute, Section 14-6 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter specifies:
"The incurring of indebtedness by the county and the issuance of evidences of
such indebtedness shall be authorized, made and executed in accordance with
the laws of the state, including the borrowing of money to fund county projects,
the pledging of project revenues and repayment thereof, and the issuance of
revenue warrants, or revenue bonds, or other forms of evidence of such
obligations."
Before discussing specific types of bonds, it is appropriate to review some of the general
characteristics of bonds. Bonds mature serially, that is, a portion of the principal is retired over
the entire term of the bond issue. Interest on municipal bonds is free from Federal Income Tax
which is an important feature to prospective purchasers. The term or the length of time to
maturity of municipal bonds can vary considerably. Generally, the last maturing bond comes
due ten to thirty years from the date of issue. Normally, the longer the maturity of the bonds, the
higher the yields or return on investment is demanded by the market price. Thus, a bond issue
that runs thirty years will pay a higher net effective interest rate than a bond issue that runs
twenty years.
424
General Obligation Bonds:
General obligation bonds are secured by a pledge of the full faith, credit and taxing power of the
county. The county is obligated to levy sufficient taxes each year to pay the principal and
interest of the bond issue. Consequently, general obligation bonds are a debt subject to the
constitutional and statutory provisions discussed earlier. Because the issue of general
obligation bond pledges its full faith and credit and agrees to levy the ad valorem taxes
necessary to repay the principal and interest of the bond, it is generally agreed to be a more
secure investment than other types of bonds. Thus, the major advantage of general obligation
financing is the low rate of interest as compared to the interest of other types of bonds. The law
permits general obligation bonds to have a thirty-year term; however, general obligation bond
issues usually have terms of twenty years or less.
General obligation bonds, in addition to being secured by full faith and credit of the issuer, may
provide additional security by pledging certain available revenues.
The major disadvantage of general obligation bonds is the fact that it does require voter
approval prior to issuance. Voter resistance to increased taxes may prevent a successful bond
election.
Revenue Bonds:
Revenue bonds are not a debt in the constitutional sense. They are secured by the revenue
derived from the project to be constructed, not by pledge of the full faith, credit, and taxing
authority of the county. Projects typically financed by revenue bonds include airports, stadiums,
and park facilities. Under the TABOR Amendment, revenue bonds can only be used for
enterprise funds and operations.
Although it may seem possible to pledge any non-tax revenues for payment of revenue bonds,
there should be a relationship between the type of revenue pledged for payment of the bonds
and the project to be financed. Although revenue bonds need not comply with the constitutional
statutory provisions generally applicable to a debt, there are several statutory provisions which
may affect the issuance of certain types of revenue bonds and the statutes should be consulted
for specific provisions regarding the issue of revenue bonds if this method is considered.
Revenue bonds are considered to be less secure than general obligation bonds because of the
inability of the issuer to levy taxes to assure the payment of principal and interest. Thus, there
is normally a higher interest rate on revenue bonds. The term of revenue bonds is often beyond
twenty years, frequently as long as thirty years.
The concept of issuing revenue bonds is based on the theory that certain projects which benefit
only certain individuals should be self-supporting and should be paid for by the user of that
project rather than the populace as a whole. Thus, airport revenue bonds are paid for by air
travelers and airlines and parking revenue bonds are paid for by users, etc.
In order for a county to issue a revenue bond, the system which generates the revenues to
repay the principal and interest of the bond must:
1. Have a good operating history documented by audited figures.
2. Reflect good debt service coverage through use of a feasibility study
completed by a recognized expert in the field.
425
In analyzing a revenue bond issue for underwriting, an investment banker will look not only at
operating statistics and coverages, but also at more basic elements, such as the necessity of
the service, control over competition, and delinquency procedures. Revenue bonds are
becoming more popular because they do not require voter approval and do not apply in
statutory debt limits.
Leases:
A less traditional method of financing county facilities is a lease arrangement. A lease is
executed with the county, which gives the county the option to purchase the equipment or
facility during the term of the lease. All or part of the lease payments may be applied to the
purchase prices.
A bona fide lease option agreement is not a debt; however, an installment purchase program is
a debt. A bona fide lease/option agreement is characterized by two factors:
1. Annual rental payments with automatic renewal of the lease unless
terminated by either party, and
2. No obligation on the part of the local government to purchase the property
if the lease is terminated.
Also, some court cases indicate the annual rental must be paid from non-property tax revenues
to avoid the lease being considered a general obligation. Upon exercise of the option, the local
government obtains full legal title to the property. Leases of this nature are distinctively different
from more conventional means of financing. Of primary importance is the security which
underlies the lease period. It is not a promise to levy taxes or a pledge of revenues from the
system. Rather, it is usually a promise to pay only one year at a time, with an implied intention
to continue payment until ownership is transferred. As ultimate security, the holder of the lease
may look to the asset which is being leased in the event of a default.
There is little statutory or judicial guidance in the area of leases of this type, and the obligation
to continue lease payments until title transfers is a moral, rather than a legal obligation. As a
consequence, the underwriting or placement of a lease is more difficult than the underwriting of
conventional bonds. The term of the leases generally are short, usually from seven to ten
years. Because the security underlying the lease is not good compared with conventional
financing, interest rates on leases are higher.
426
Building Authority:
A building authority is a non-profit corporation which generally is formed at the request of the
governing body of the county or local jurisdiction, which also appoints the Board of Directors of
the corporation. Weld County created such an authority in 1987, named the Weld County
Finance Corporation. The directors are the Director of Finance and Administration, County
Attorney, and Director of Public Works, each appointed for ten-year terms.
The building authority issues its own bonds to finance a facility. To achieve the same lower
interest rates that traditional municipal bonds enjoy, the building authority must obtain a ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that the interest on the authority's bonds is exempt
from Federal Income Tax. Such an exemption is granted if the IRS finds the authority's bonds
are issued on behalf of a political subdivision, which is determined based upon the following
factors as detailed in IRS Revenue Ruling 63-20.
1. The authority engages in activities which are essentially public in nature.
2. The corporation is not organized for profit.
3. The corporate income does not inure to the benefit of any private person.
4. The political subdivision has a beneficial interest in the corporation, while the
indebtedness is outstanding, and it obtains full legal title to the property on the
retirement of the debt.
5. The corporation has been approved by the political subdivision which has
approved the specific obligation of the corporation.
Like municipal bonds, bonds issued by a corporation usually are subject to registration and
other requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Security Exchange Act of 1934. After
receiving a favorable ruling from the IRS, a "no action" letter should be secured from the
Security and Exchange Commission, exempting the authority's bonds from these requirements.
The authority then issues bonds pledging the annual rental payments as security. After
issuance of bonds and construction of the facilities, the authority leases the facilities to the
county. Again, this must be a bona fide lease and possess all the elements discussed under
Lease/Purchase.
The bonds of a building authority are similar to municipal leases in the manner in which they are
viewed by investors. As with a simple municipal lease, building authority bonds are less secure
than general obligation or revenue bonds. As a result, bonds issued through a building authority
bear higher interest than more secure issues.
427
Certificates of Participation (COP) may be issued in the same manner as bonds. As a practical
matter the COP is the same as a bond, except from a legal point of view, the COP is evidencing
assignment of proportionate undivided interests in rights to receive certain revenues in the form
of a lease or rental amount for the purpose of providing funding for capital improvements. The
lease and COP do not constitute a general obligation or other indebtedness of the county within
the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or home rule charter debt limitation. The lease is a
year-to-year obligation.
The use of Certificates of Participation (COP) has been the only debt vehicle Weld County has
ever used in the implementation of its debt policy options. The only COP issued by Weld
County was done in 1997, and was paid off August 1, 2007. No outstanding debt exists for
Weld County.
428
BUILDING AUTHORITY FINANCE
The Philosophy:
Tax-exempt financing is available through a building authority with the issuance of bonds when
the facilities financed are for public purposes and the benefit is to the sponsoring public entity.
The Building Authority:
A building authority is a Colorado non-profit corporation created by the county itself. The county
adopts a resolution calling for the creation of the Building Authority and directing counsel to
draw articles of incorporation and by-laws in compliance with Colorado Statutes. A board of
directors is formed. The board may consist of County Commissioners or administrative
personnel or individuals not associated with any public entity. The Weld County Finance
Corporation, created in 1987, consists of the Director of Finance and Administration, County
Attorney, and Director of Public Works as directors.
Tax-Exemption of Interest:
Once the non-profit corporation is created, the tax-exempt nature of interest paid on the
corporation's bonds must be assured. A revenue ruling is requested from the Internal Revenue
Service on the non-profit status of the corporation pursuant to Internal Revenue Code, 103(a) 1
and Revenue Ruling 63-20, and on the tax-exempt status of interest paid.
Such an application involves considerable work and a detailed analysis of the situation which is
presented to the Internal Revenue Service. The application includes information as to public
purpose, the county, the agency using the facilities, the proposed lease terms, terms of title
reversion to the county and the proposed method of financing.
Corporate Bonds and the S.E.C.:
As corporate bonds are subject to registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, a "no action" letter must be obtained from the S.E.C. In essence, the S.E.C. says
that no action will be taken if the bonds of the building authority/non-profit corporation are not
registered.
The Purchase Contract:
Once the building authority is created with powers to act, it may enter into a contract to
purchase the facility. The contract should be subject to:
1. A favorable revenue ruling from the Internal Revenue Service.
2. Receipt of an S.E.C. "no action" letter.
3. Finalization of financing.
429
The Bond Issue:
When all legal and tax questions are answered the building authority may issue bonds for the
purchase of the facility. Normally the bonds are sold directly to an underwriter who then resells
the bonds to the ultimate investor.
The bonds that are issued will be an obligation of the building authority only and not a debt
obligation of the county.
The County Lease:
Upon the issuance of the bonds and the purchase of the building by the building authority, the
county can lease the building from the authority. The lease would be from year-to-year with
automatic renewal unless otherwise terminated. A county lease for any period in excess of one
year constitutes a debt and must be approved by voters.
The Bond Security:
The security of the bond holders may be only in a pledge of lease revenues by the authority.
The bond holders may also have a first mortgage lien on the building. The combination of the
two results in a more secure bond and a correspondingly lower rate of interest.
Partial Seller Financing:
Depending on factors such as the seller's motivation, whether there is an existing loan on the
building, and negotiations, a bond issue can be for only the amount necessary for a down
payment. The sellers can carry back the balance, receiving installment sale tax benefits on the
capital gains. A revenue ruling would be required; however, interest paid on a promissory note
to the seller may also be tax exempt. The total cost to the county and the building authority then
may be substantially lower on this basis.

CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
Existing Situation:
The Centennial Complex Jail was constructed in 1978, and was remodeled three times to
increase the capacity to 294 beds. In 1997, Phase I of the North Jail Complex was constructed
with 160 beds and all of the core service facilities. The North Jail Complex is currently designed
for a build out of 779 beds, but the site can accommodate over a 1,000-bed facility. Each phase
would be in increments of approximately 160 - 375 beds. Jail population continues to grow in
Weld County, but the growth rate has slowed the last few years due to more use of jail
alternative programs. Phase II was completed and opened in January, 2004. Phase II added
245 beds based upon the design. Construction of Phase II allowed for the closure of the
Centennial Jail and conversion of the space to accommodate Court needs. Phase III, which
added 374 beds, was constructed in 2006 - 2007, and was opened in February 2008.
Proposed Solution:
It is proposed that additional phases of the North Jail Complex be constructed in increments of
beds, as needed. The total project of approximately 211,355 square feet will be constructed in
phases. The first phase, constructed in 1997, was 125,775 square feet. It included the core
service facilities, such as kitchen, administrative offices, medical detention, booking area, and
lobby to accommodate over 1,000 inmates. Phase II has 245 beds and is both maximum and
medium security to accommodate the projected inmate classifications. Phase II was
constructed in the 2002 - 2003 time frame and became fully operational as of 2004. Phase Ill
has 374 beds and was constructed in 2006 - 2007. There are currently 779 beds available.
Financing:
It is recommended that the county budget $20,000,000 in the 2012 - 2016 capital plan budget
for 350 additional beds. Nothing will be in the Capital budget in 2012 for jail construction.
Impact on Operational Costs:
In 2017, it is anticipated that the new jail capacity will be opened. The use of the capacity will
be phased in over a two to three year period, depending on inmate population growth. Based
upon past phased openings of the jail, the estimated additional annual costs are:
Item 2016 2017 2018
Staffing $ 1,210,000 $ 770,000 $ 1,100,000
Medical Costs 0 600,000 320,000
Food 0 400,000 200,000

WELD COUNTY BUSINESS PARK
Existing Situation:
In 1987, Weld County acquired 160 acres located in the southwest corner of "O" Street and
North 11th Avenue in Greeley. Funds for the property came from the sale of the Health
Building.
Proposed Solution:
The property is large enough to allow for future consolidation of county facilities in one area.
The utilities and site improvement were developed in 1988, at an estimated cost of $1,750,000
with the aid of a $630,000 EDA Grant. The first facilities, completed in 1989, included a 15,000
square foot building for Human Services and a county motor vehicle shop. Fifty to 60 acres
have been developed for building and storage sites and approximately 60 acres can be mined
for gravel and reclaimed in an attractive way. The new correctional facility is located on this
site, as well as the Health Department, Household Hazardous Waste Building, Training Center,
Motor Pool, Public Works, Law Administration, Buildings and Grounds, Alternative Programs
Facility, Community Corrections Facility, and four administrative buildings. A portion of the
property was made available for commercial development and offered at no cost or low cost to
private parties for economic development incentives. A PUD was approved for land use
purposes in 1989.
Financing:
Development, using future years' funds, is programmed into the long-range plan under specific
projects, which include a correction facility ($20,000,000).
Impact on Operational Costs:
See individual projects for cost impacts.
437
COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
Existing Situation:
Weld County, in 1975, created the Weld County Regional Communications Center and agreed
to fund the infrastructure to accommodate the communications system. The system consisting
of towers, radio receivers and transmitters, system controllers, consoles, computers, and
various communications equipment has been required to be replaced or upgraded
approximately every ten years with growth and technological changes. The costs have been
paid for by grants, Weld County government, and the E911 Authority.
Proposed Solution:
It is proposed that the communications system be upgraded in 2011-2012 at a total cost of
$6,700,000. The E911 Authority Board has agreed to fund the console equipment upgrade in
the amount of $2,000,000, and Weld County, in the Capital Expenditure fund, will fund the
remaining costs. In addition, the Board of County Commissioners has agreed to adopt a policy
of funding a $5,000,000 capital reserve in the amount of $500,000 per year, so that in ten years
funds will be in the capital reserve for the next upgrade.
Financing:
The upgrade for 2012-2013 will be funded by the E911 Authority Board funding $2,000,000 from
its reserve, and Weld County has funded $2,350,000, in 2011 and will fund $2,350,000, in 2012,
for the remaining $4,700,000 in the Capital Expenditure Fund for the total estimated cost of
$6,700,000. Beginning in 2013, Weld County will fund $500,000 per year for the
Communications System Reserve for future communications systems upgrades.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There will be no additional operational costs for the system. Operational costs are currently
funded by Weld County, City of Greeley, the E911 Authority Board, and users using in excess of
$10,000 per year in allocated costs. It is not anticipated that the upgraded systems will be any
more expensive, operationally, to maintain than the current system.
438
GRADER SHEDS / STORAGE BUILDING
Existing Situation:
The County currently has 18 grader sheds throughout Weld County, to accommodate road
maintenance functions in all sectors of the county. The grader sheds are in various conditions,
ranging from good to needing replacement. Seventeen have recently been replaced --
Nunn (1981), Gwonda (1982), Vim (1983), New Raymer (1984), Mead (1985), Rockport (1986),
Kiowa (1987), Severance (1987), Gilcrest (1989), Ault (1989), Briggsdale (1991),
Keenesburg (1994) Stoneham (1994), Dacono (1995), Fort Lupton (2000), Gill (2001),
Galeton (2003), New Raymer (2004), Rockport (2007), and Kersey (2010). In addition, four ice
control storage buildings were constructed in 2001 - 2003. An additional storage facility at the
Public Works Headquarters was built in 2003. A new Buildings and Grounds facility was built
in 2007, and the old facility was converted to a Printing and Supply facility. An additional
storage facility was purchased in 2009.
Proposed Solution:
An analysis of existing grader sheds determined which are required for the operational functions
of the road maintenance operation in Weld County. In the process some have been sold, others
consolidated, and some identified for replacement. In cases where existing grader sheds will
accommodate the maintenance function, it is suggested that attention be given to those sheds
that need maintenance or major improvements. Where necessary, replacement sheds have
been identified.
Financing:
The county, since 1982, has totally reconstructed and upgraded all grader and road
maintenance facilities. The county should continue a sound maintenance and replacement
program, so the buildings do not fall into the disrepair condition they were in prior to 1982. The
funding mechanism should be a pay-as-you-go function out of the Capital Fund. Funds in the
amount of$250,000, in 2012, are included for other Public Works facilities.
Impact on Operational Costs:
Since the old grader sheds are being replaced with new sheds, the county's experience is that
there is approximately a $1,000 per year savings on the utilities due to the use of radiant heat
and improved insulation. Staffing is unchanged.
439
JUSTICE CENTER
Existing Situation:
The Justice Center includes the Courthouse, Court Annexes, and Centennial Center buildings.
It provides for the space needs of the 19th Judicial District. Under state law the county is
obligated to provide and maintain the facilities for court related activities. The Courthouse was
built in 1917 and is maintained on the Federal Register of Historical Buildings. After many
remodels and upgrades it still functions as the main court facility for Weld County. In the mid-
1980's two buildings across the street from the Courthouse were acquired and remodeled to
house the Probation Department. In 2001, the West Courthouse Annex Building was acquired
to house the District Attorney Juvenile Division. As the population grows and court related
activities grow the space requirements continue to expand. Four courtrooms were added in
2008.
Proposed Solution:
With the growing needs of the courts it will require that the county convert the Centennial
Center, including the jail, to courtrooms and court-related offices. With the construction of
Phase II of the North Jail, the Centennial Jail was closed and remodeled into court-related
space in 2004. All Sheriff's office administrative functions, along with Communications and
Records, were moved to the new Public Safety Administrative Building next to the North Jail in
2003. Over time the entire Centennial Complex will become court-related space, as well as the
two annex buildings to the west and east of the Courthouse. In 2004, three additional district
courtrooms were created, a juvenile courtroom, and one additional county courtroom, and in
2009 four additional court rooms were built. The first floor of the Centennial Jail has been
converted into courtrooms. The second and third floors of the jail were remodeled in 2010 for
additional court and office facilities. First floor Centennial offices were converted into office
space for the Clerk to the Court. The space in the Courthouse occupied by the Clerk to the
Court was converted into a district courtroom. These courtrooms will supplement the current
vacant district courtroom and the visiting judge courtroom to accommodate four anticipated
additional judges through 2018. Space formerly occupied by the Weld County Commissioners
and administrative functions will be converted to court-related space since functions moved to a
new administrative building in 2011.
Financing:
The county can accommodate court related activities in the space of the Justice Center for
several years. In addition, the block to the southeast of the Centennial Complex has been
acquired by the county and converted into a parking lot. In the future when the need arises, that
block can serve as a site for court building expansion and a parking garage structure to
accommodate court space needs. Also, in the next decade it may be necessary to have court
facilities in the southern part of Weld County where the population is growing at a rapid rate.
The funding mechanism for all court facility needs should be a pay-as-you-go function out of the
Capital Fund. The following page is a schedule of proposed conversion of Justice Center space.

ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMS
BUILDING
Existing Situation:
Alternative programs are currently housed in the old jail and in the West Courthouse Annex. As
jail crowding becomes more and more of a problem, the alternative programs, such as work
release and pre-trial programs, are used more and more by the Court. The programs currently
occupy approximately 20,000 square feet. The space that the programs occupy is needed for
courtrooms and Probation office space.
Proposed Solution:
To accommodate the space needs of the alternative programs and allow for growth in the
programs, a 30,000 square foot building is proposed. The facility will be constructed in the Weld
County Business Park. This puts the facility in closer proximity to the jail for support services.
Financing:
The new 30,000 square foot Alternative Programs Building was completed in 2008.
Impact on Operational Costs:
Impact of additional costs on the 2008 budget was $156,300 for utilities and maintenance.
Staffing costs were unchanged, since personnel were transferred from the old facility to the new
building.
442
LAW ENFORCEMENT
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
Existing Situation:
Growing needs of the courts require that the county convert the Centennial Center, including the
jail, to courtrooms and court-related offices. With the construction of Phase II of the North Jail,
the Centennial Jail will be closed and remodeled into court-related space. In addition, all
Sheriff's office administrative functions, along with the Communications and Records, were
relocated in 2004 to accommodate the courts.
Proposed Solution:
Since the entire jail operation was moved to the North Jail there are logistical advantages to
relocate all Sheriff Office functions near the jail site. To accommodate the space needs of the
Sheriff's Office, a 22,000 square foot office building near the North Jail site was constructed in
2002. The building houses the Sheriff's office functions, Communications, and Records. This
allows for the consolidation of all criminal justice functions at one site with the exception of
patrol substations.
Financing:
The new Public Safety Administration Building was constructed in 2002. Funds in the amount of
$2,500,000 were budgeted in 2002 for the construction of a 22,000 square foot office building.
In 2010, the Records Unit was moved from the Law Enforcement Administration Building to the
former Human Services Building to free up space for the Sheriff's Office.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There was no impact of additional costs on the 2010 budget for utilities and maintenance, since
the space has been maintained in the past. Staffing costs were unchanged, since personnel
were transferred from the old facility to the new building.
443
CRIME LAB/PARAMEDIC STATION/CORONER OFFICE
Existing Situation:
Currently the county has a crime lab located in the basement of the Centennial Complex, and
the former Planning Department office. The space is inadequate to meet the size and program
requirements. Weld County is taking the lead to create a regional crime lab for Northern
Colorado that would house approximately 30 crime lab staff members from various law
enforcement agencies and CBI. The crime lab's location is yet to be determined. New facility
would also house the Coroner's office and an additional Paramedic Station to replace the Kodak
Station.
Proposed Solution:
The proposed regional crime lab/paramedic station/Coroner's facility will consist of
approximately 20,000 square feet. It will contain private and open office areas, waiting areas,
lobby space, meeting/conference rooms, elevator(s), paramedic station, complete laboratory
and forensics discovery area. It will be fully fire sprinkled. The location of the building has not
been finalized.
Financing:
The proposed regional crime lab / paramedic station / Coroner's facility will begin construction in
2011 using $4,000,000 in county funds. The County's $4,000,000 for construction and two
Federal earmarked grants totaling $800,000 for operations and maintenance were carried over
into 2011.
Impact on Operational Costs:
Once the regional crime lab/paramedic station/Coroner's facility is constructed there will be
additional costs in the budget for utilities and maintenance, in the amount of $240,000.
However, five participating agencies will pay approximately 80 percent of this cost, or $192,000
for a net county cost of $48,000. Staffing costs are unchanged, since personnel will be
transferred from the old crime lab to the new building.
444
COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS FACILITY
Existing Situation:
The Community Corrections program has been operated by private contractors since its
inception in Weld County in the early 1980's. The facility that the contractors have used is the
site known as The Villa, which were old dormitories on the UNC campus. UNC has encouraged
the Community Corrections Facility to move off campus due to the facility housing convicted
felons that are returning to the community from the Colorado Department of Corrections.
Recently, there have been problems with the contractor that owns the facility providing the
community correction services. The county realizes that without a county-owned community
corrections facility it limits the county's choices for a contract provider of the service and the
option of the county operating the facility itself through the Justice Services Department.
Proposed Solution:
The Board of Weld County Commissioners, in May 2008, made the decision that the county
should construct its own Community Corrections Facility in the Weld County Business Park.
The site will be at the entrance of the park at the northwest corner of 11th Avenue and H Street.
A 30,000 square-foot building was constructed in 2010 to accommodate the program. The site
can accommodate a doubling of the facility size at some future date at a cost of approximately
$5,000,000.
Financing:
The new Community Corrections Facility was constructed, in 2010, within the Weld County
Business Park. An Energy Impact Grant, in the amount of $400,000, along with $4,600,000 in
county funds, funded the project.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There will be additional costs in the 2010 and future budgets for utilities and maintenance, in the
amount of $160,000. However, the majority of the program costs are paid for from state
contracts with the State Department of Corrections through a lease to ICCS, which is the sub-
contractor operating the facility. Currently, the program services are provided by a private
contractor (ICCS).
445
DOWNTOWN GREELEY
PARKING AND LAND
Existing Situation:
The Courthouse and Centennial Center are located in the center of downtown Greeley. The
future plans are for these facilities to be the judicial center for the 19th Judicial District that
serves Weld County. Parking has been a long time problem in the area for citizens using the
facilities. In addition, as Weld County looks to the future there will be a need to have land to
locate future court facilities. The court administration is insistent upon having a centralized
location, since other jurisdictions have had logistical problems attempting to split court facilities
into more than one location. As a result, there is a need to acquire land adjacent to the current
location to accommodate future court facilities.
Proposed Solution:
In July, 2003, the County purchased a portion of an adjacent block of property to the Centennial
Complex and Courthouse to allow for surface parking in the immediate future, and to provide
future building sites for future court facilities. Opportunity existed to purchase approximately
100,000 square feet adjacent to the current facilities in 2003. The parking was developed in
2004, and needed facilities can be constructed on this site in the future. In 2011 the county
purchased seven more lots of the 1000 block of 9th Street in Greeley for the future building site
of the planned Probation Building and adjacent parking.
Financing:
In 2003, fund balance from the General Fund, in the amount of $1,500,000, was transferred to
the Capital Expenditure Fund to acquire the site and put money aside for the parking
improvements in 2004. Approximately 250 parking spots have been developed to serve the
area. As portions of the site are needed for court building sites, a parking structure can be built
to accommodate added parking needs or land to the east or south of the site can be acquired
for surface parking. In the 2012 budget $1,200,000 is reserved for the purchase of property
adjacent to the current Justice Center location to accommodate future court facilities and
support services.
Impact on Operational Costs:
No new operation costs are anticipated.
446
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE BUILDING
Existing Situation:
The long term plan with the development of the Weld County Business Park was for the
eventual move of all administrative functions of the county to the business park. All of the
functions were housed at the Centennial Complex in 1976. In 1990-91 the Assessor, Treasurer,
Clerk and Recorder, and Planning were relocated to the business park. With the future space
demands of the courts it is anticipated that the remaining county administrative functions at the
Centennial Complex will need to be relocated to the Weld County Business Park within the next
year. This will leave the Centennial Complex as a justice and law enforcement center
exclusively.
Proposed Solution:
In order to accommodate the Court's space needs and the County's administrative functions it
was necessary to acquire a new administrative facility at the Weld County Business Park. To
accommodate the space needs of the existing administrative functions, and plan for future
growth, an existing 43,000 square-foot office building was purchased in 2010, and remodeled to
accommodate current and future County administrative functional needs.
Financing:
The County purchased the existing Sykes Building for$3,500,000 in June, 2010. Approximately
another $2,300,000 was spent to remodel the building to make a fully functional administrative
building to house the County Commissioners' Office and associated administrative functions.
Vacant space will exist to accommodate growth for a number of years. The project was funded
by Capital Reserve funds.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There were additional costs in the 2011 budget for utilities and maintenance, in the amount of
$180,000. There were no additional staffing costs since the staff moved from other facilities to
occupy this building. Moving and relocation costs were $50,000.
447
SOCIAL SERVICES
BUILDING ANNEX
Existing Situation:
The Social Services Building was acquired in the 1970's and in the mid 1990's an annex was
added. In 2005, additional land was purchased, adjacent to and south of the two existing
buildings. The additional land will accommodate another 20,000 square foot building and
parking.
Proposed Solution:
It was proposed that a new 40,000 square foot building be constructed in Greeley on the Social
Services site in 2009. The building will accommodate the current services, plus allow room for
future expansion and consolidation of the Human Services and Social Services Departments.
Financing:
The building was constructed in 2009. Funds in the amount of$5,000,000 were budgeted in the
2008 budget for the 40,000 square foot building. Additional parking was constructed in 2007, in
the amount of$300,000.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There were additional costs in the 2010 budget and beyond for utilities and maintenance, in the
amount of $210,000. However, the majority of the program costs are paid for from grants from
the State Department of Social Services. There were no additional staffing costs since the staff
moved from other facilities to occupy this building.
448
SOUTHWEST
COUNTY SERVICE CENTER
Existing Situation:
The Southwest County Service Center was developed in 2000 - 2001. With the growth in the
area, additional facilities will be required to house all the County functions required to service
the area.
Proposed Solution:
It is proposed that an additional 20,000 square foot building be constructed on the Southwest
Weld County Service Center site in 2018. The building will accommodate the current services,
plus allow room for future expansion of services in the area.
Financing:
The building will be constructed in 2018. Funds in the amount of $4,000,000 are budgeted in
the 2018 budget for the 20,000 square foot building.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There will be additional costs in the 2018 budget for utilities and maintenance, in the amount of
$120,000. There will be no additional staffing costs since the staff will be moving from other
facilities to occupy this building. Moving and relocation costs are estimated to be $30,000.
449
SOUTHEAST
COUNTY SERVICE CENTER
Existing Situation:
The Southeast County Service Center was acquired as a used building in the early 1980's from
the City of Fort Lupton. With the growth in the area, the building was no longer large enough for
the functions located in the building, and the building was in need of remodeling.
Proposed Solution:
In 2006, a new 20,000 square foot building was constructed in east Fort Lupton on a five-acre
site. The building accommodates the historic services provided, plus Probation and increased
Human Services. The location of the building in east Fort Lupton will better accommodate not
only Fort Lupton residents, but also residents from the Hudson and Lochbuie areas. Additional
space may be added to the site in 2018, or beyond.
Financing:
The building was constructed in 2006.
Impact on Operational Costs:
No new operational costs are anticipated until constructed in 2018, or beyond.
450
MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTS
Existing Situation:
Each year there are several special projects to do major maintenance to buildings, update or
renovate county facilities, provide for new county programs, and remodel to accommodate
changing programs or meet new legal standards. An approach which provides miscellaneous
funds of this nature can prevent postponing necessary major maintenance or remodeling of
facilities and, thus, avoid added cost or delay of potential savings to the county and taxpayers.
In addition, such an approach can also make better utilization of existing facilities in order to
avoid the acquisition of new space and facilities. Carpet replacement, HVAC replacement, roof
replacement, elevator upgrades, remodels, and major maintenance projects should be included
in this category.
Proposed Solution:
It is recommended that an amount of $3,440,000 be set aside for such projects in the Long
Range Capital Projects Plan. A detailed listing of special projects are on the following two
pages.
Financing:
It is recommended the county budget $3,440,000 over the next five years to accommodate the
detailed listing of special projects found on the following two pages.
Impact on Operational Costs:
No new operational costs are anticipated. In most cases the HVAC systems replaced should be
more energy efficient resulting in energy cost savings.

ACCUMULATIVE CAPITAL
OUTLAY/CONTINGENCY
Existing Situation:
If Weld County is to embark upon a number of ventures in capital projects over the next five
years, it is suggested the county proceed very cautiously and very conservatively in the area of
financing. To do this, it is suggested that a contingency be set aside each year on a pay as you
go basis to accommodate unanticipated cost increases or emergency situations which cannot
be foreseen at this time. If the contingency amount is accumulated over the next five years, it
can be used as a reserve for the capital projects program in future years, or it can be used as a
funding mechanism in years beyond 2016. The primary reserve would be for a future
correctional facility or other facilities at the North County Complex and southwest and southeast
County administrative office sites and to fund the replacement of the Communications system.
Proposed Solution:
Budget any carry-over amount each year on a contingency basis that ultimately could be used
to meet any contingency or emergency situation, or could be used as an accumulation of capital
outlay funds for funding of projects beyond 2018.
Financing:
It is recommended that the county budget fund balance carry-overs in the capital fund each year
as a contingency.
Impact on Operational Costs:
None.
454
MISCELLANEOUS FUNDS
455
AIRPORT
Existing Situation:
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners, with approval of the Airport Master Plan,
committed to participate in certain enhancements at the Airport facility, especially those
enhancements that will ensure the safety of airport operations. If the Board decides to continue
to participate in the joint funding of the Greeley/Weld County Airport Authority with the City of
Greeley, funds should be provided for in the Long Range Capital Projects Plan to accommodate
the FAA ADAP program during the next five years. Funds can also be made available to
maintain FAA constructed facilities.
Proposed Solution:
In the Long Range Capital Projects Plan for 2012, funds are included to accommodate capital
improvements at the Greeley/Weld County Airport. If funding is provided, it should be for
projects that emphasize safety features and other essential enhancements to the current
operation.
Financing:
No county funding is required in the Airport's 2012 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
Impact on Operational Costs:
Although the Airport Authority may incur additional operational costs from the projects in the
Airport CIP, no new operational costs are anticipated as a result of the Airport CIP for Weld
County government.

CONSERVATION TRUST FUND
Existing Situation:
With the passage of SB119 (The Colorado Lottery), 40 percent of the proceeds of the lottery are
earmarked for Conservation Trust Funds in local governments. The earning potential of the
lottery is anticipated to be $430,000 per year. The funds must be used for "the acquisition,
development, and maintenance of new conservation sites, or for capital improvements or
maintenance for recreational purposes on any public site". (Section 29-21-101, C.R.S.) With
the passage of Amendment 8 (GO COLORADO) these funds should stabilize at $430,000 per
year, plus lottery sales growth. See Conservation Trust Fund for detailed discussion.
Proposed Solution:
The Board has the option to use the funds in the following ways:
1. Maintain and improve Island Grove Park.
2. Maintain and improve the Missile Site Park.
3. Acquire and maintain open space.
4. Develop and maintain trails.
5. Other project requests from throughout the county.
Financing:
In addition to Conservation Trust Funds, it is recommended that the county finance parks and
recreation projects at a level of $29,000 in the General Fund from property taxes. Funds from
2012 forward are uncommitted.
Impact on Operational Costs:
No new operational costs are anticipated.
458
ISLAND GROVE
Existing Situation:
Weld County and the City of Greeley currently have certain joint ventures and commitments to
develop the Island Grove Park facility. Some discussion has been held regarding the creation
of an Island Grove Park Authority for development and management of the facility.
Proposed Solution:
If the Board of County Commissioners decides to continue participation in the development of
the Island Grove facility, it is recommended that Conservation Trust Funds from the lottery be
used to the maximum amount prior to use of county general tax funds.
Financing:
It is recommended that the county finance any Island Grove enhancements with Conservation
Trust Funds resulting from the lottery, to the maximum amount possible, prior to use of general
county tax funds. Beginning in 2003, $100,000 per year in General Fund dollars has been
committed to the maintenance of an indoor arena facility. Also, in 2000, the County contributed
$1,500,000 towards the construction of the indoor arena facility, known as the Island Grove
Community Building. The facility was constructed and will be maintained jointly by the City of
Greeley, Farm Show, and Weld County. $250,000 was included in the 2004 General Fund
budget to add air conditioning to the Island Grove Community Building. The county paid
$1,500,000 in 2006, for the Island Grove Park Master Plan that covers improvements to the
park for the next 10 - 20 year period.
Impact on Operational Costs:
Although the Island Grove Park Authority may incur additional operational costs from the
projects in the park's CIP, no new operational costs are anticipated as a result of the park's CIP
for Weld County government. In most cases, the new park facilities planned will generate
revenues to support the additional operating costs.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Personnel Services are budgeted at the same staffing level with
adjustments for anticipated health insurance increases, retirement contribution increases, and
an anticipated 2 percent cost of living adjustment. Supplies are up primarily for medical
supplies. Purchased Services are up primarily due to fleet and fuel expense and collection
expenses.
The purchase of(1) Lifeline Ambulances ($175,000) is budgeted through the Fleet Replacement
Program approved by the Board previously. The department will apply to the State EMS Grant
Program for funding of this vehicle.
No rate increase is recommended at this time.

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATIONRECOMMENDATION: For the period of July 1, 2010 through
June 30, 2011, a cash flow analysis of the operation indicated that there was an inflow of cash
of $6,229,390 during the period and without capital expenditures from the depreciation reserve
a net positive cash flow of $445,609. Based upon a financial analysis for 2012 without a rate
increase there should be a $53,021 net operating profit in 2012 and positive cash flow of
$452,899 when the addition to the depreciation reserve is factored into the cash flow. Therefore,
no General Fund subsidy will be required in 2012.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: See listed equipment on next page.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Policy issues. Second vehicle requested
in Planning is not included in the recommended budget pending whether or not the Board
approves the additional Zoning Compliance position.
BOARD ACTION: The approved equipment was amended by the Board. The two mini-bus
vehicles to be funded by a CDOT grant ($132,000) were eliminated due to CDOT not funding
the grant. The Board approved the Zoning Compliance Officer in Planning and approved an
additional vehicle for the position.
Public Works' equipment was reduced by the front-end loader due to used equipment being
purchased in 2011. The department decided the two tandem axle dump trucks with sanders
were not needed. Instead only two sanders with hitches were needed. Two 1/2-ton extended
cab pickups were replaced by to 3/4-ton extended cab pickups.
No other changes.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The budget reflects the cost of self-insuring the dental and vision
reimbursement plan ($248,000), Wellness Program ($181,000), and the on-site county clinic
($462,216). In addition, the budget, in 2005, started to include the self-insured health program
offered county employees through CIGNA.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval. Budget
anticipates a 10 percent county contribution increase, which takes into account the cost
increase of medical care and the anticipated impact on insurance costs from the health reform
legislation. Weld County will utilize CIGNA, with a hybrid universal health PPO/HMO plan as
the health insurance provider in 2012, plus offer a high deductible health plan with a health
reimbursement account option through CIGNA.
In 2005, the county moved its health insurance plan to a consumer driven plan that combines a
high deductible PPO insurance policy along with an HMO component for preventative care, with
a low co-pay and low cost prescriptive drug program. The high deductible policy protects the
insured from catastrophic losses, such as prolonged illness, hospitalization or simply an
unexpected period of poor health. The plan is a partially self-insured program with stop loss
insurance. The goal is to make the employees aware of the true cost of health care, with a
program that will encourage employees and their families to make more judicious spending
decisions in return for paying lower insurance premiums and lower health care costs. The
health plan is being offered through CIGNA. In 2008, the County moved to a universal health
care option that has lower employee premiums and higher co-insurance and out-of-pocket
costs. A comprehensive wellness program was also implemented in 2008. In July, 2010, the
County opened its own health clinic in an attempt to better serve county employees' and their
dependents' primary health needs in a more convenient and cost effective manner. The clinic
contract will cost $462,216 in 2012. It is anticipated that there will be a savings to the insurance
plan of over $500,000, with a return on investment of at least 2 to1.

IS - HEALTH INSURANCE
(CONTINUED)
6200-93100/93400
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION (CONTINUED):
In 2012, it is recommended that the base health plan offered along with the standard PPO be a
high deductible health plan with a health reimbursement account (HRA) option through CIGNA.
The County would contribute $1,000 to the HRA for those employees taking the high deductible
health/HRA plan. The standard PPO option offered will have higher deductibles, co-pays, and
out of pocket expenses. The Choice PPO with low deductibles will no longer be offered. The
new health plan options are consistent with the changes being made by the health insurance
industry and by major employers offering employee and dependent healthcare benefits.
The 2012 program is calculated with current participation as follows:

Dependent Coverage: 547

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The budget is structured with Weld County remaining a member of
CAPP, but using the self-insured option under the insurance pool for a fixed cost of $203,700.
Effective January 1, 1992, Weld County became self-insured for workers compensation.
Workers Compensation includes excess insurance and bonds costing $500,000, claims
administration costs of$40,000, and a loss fund of$900,800. A loss fund for all other insurance
coverage is budgeted at $325,000. Unemployment insurance is being charged directly to
departments. The program is supported by property tax ($1,750,000), charges for service
($140,000), interest ($60,000), and compensation for losses ($20,000). No fund balance
reserves are anticipated to be needed to support the loss fund in 2012.
Property tax has been increased $250,000 due to workers' compensation claim history. There
has been no property tax increase for six years. Meanwhile claim costs for workers
compensation have been increasing due to rising healthcare costs.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of the insurance
program as outlined above in the summary of changes. In accordance with Section 8-44-204,
C.R.S., it is recommended that a mill levy be used to fund the insurance program for local
county activities and a charge back mechanism be used only for programs funded by state and
federal funding sources. Weld County, through CAPP, has reduced limits of coverage and
placed reliance on sovereign immunity to stay within the budgeted amount. The legislative
changes in 1986 strengthened the county's position in the use of sovereign immunity limits in
Colorado cases. In addition, the county can levy up to 10 mills per year to discharge any
judgment against it. Continuation of the self-insured program for workers compensation is
recommended, which should result in cost savings, plus no shared risks with other counties.
Unemployment costs are recommended to be charged directly to departments for revenue
raising strategies and departmental accountability for costs.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Personnel Services reflects the projected 2012 salaries and
benefits. Phone costs are down $4,704, and repair and maintenance costs are down $4,043.
Other professional services are funded at $5,000 due to phone line locator services, and
miscellaneous service charges. Chargeback from Human Resources ($43,193) and Clerk to
Board ($11,694) for switch board coverage is up $3,295. Indirect costs are down $14,532.
Depreciation is up $16,423.
Capital is funded at $250,000 to fund the Five Year Information Services Capital Plan and to
replace phone equipment. The phone system for the Weld Business Park (located in the jail)
has been in use since 1992. Currently, there is the jail plus 15 other buildings using this system.
The Human Services system in buildings A and B was installed about the same time, and the
system at Southwest Weld is the same phone system. Siemens will maintain these systems —
but will no longer do any major changes, so there is a need to replace the phone systems in 4 or
5 building every year during 2011-2015. Funds exist in the depreciation reserve of the Phone
Services Fund to pay for these phone upgrades. The plan is to replace the systems as follows:
2011 - 1400 and 1402, Health, and Public Works
2012 - SEW, SWW, and Human Services Buildings A and B
2013 — Law Admin, 1401, and Records (1551)
2014 —All 3 phases of the jail
2015—Training Center, 918, Extension, Paramedics, and Print Shop

GLOSSARY
ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES All processes which discover, record, classify, and
summarize financial information to produce financial reports
and to provide internal control.
ACCRUAL BASIS The basis of accounting under which transactions are
recognized when they occur, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows.
ACCRUED EXPENSES Expenses incurred but not due until a later date.
ACTIVITY A specific and distinguishable line of work performed by one
or more organizational components of a government for the
purpose of accomplishing a function for which the
government is responsible. For example, "food inspection" is
an activity performed in the discharge of the "health"function.
ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION Expenditure classification according to the specific lines of
work performed by organization units. For example, "sewage
treatment and disposal", "garbage collection", "garbage
disposal", and "street cleaning" are activities performed in
carrying out the function of "sanitation". The segregation of
the expenditures made for each of these activities constitutes
an activity classification.
ALLOCATE To divide a lump-sum appropriation into parts which are
designated for expenditure by specific organizational units
and/or for specific purposes, activities, or objects.
ALLOCATED COSTS Indirect costs distributed to programs or departments via a
cost allocation plan.
ALLOCATION A part of a lump-sum appropriation which is designated for
expenditure by specific organizational units and/or for special
purposes, activities, or objects.
ALLOT To divide an appropriation into amounts which may be
encumbered or expended during an allotment period.
ALLOTMENT A part of an appropriation which may be encumbered or
expended during an allotment period.
ALLOTMENT PERIOD A period of time less than one fiscal year in length during
which an allotment is effective. Bi-monthly and quarterly
allotment periods are most common.
ANNUAL BUDGET A budget applicable to a single fiscal year.
487
APPROPRIATION A legal authorization granted by a legislative body to make
expenditures and to incur obligations for specific purposes.
An appropriation is usually limited in amount and as to the
time when it may be expended.
APPROPRIATION BILL,
ORDINANCE, RESOLUTION,
or ORDER A bill, ordinance, resolution, or order by means of which
appropriations are given legal effect. It is the method by
which the expenditure side of the annual operating budget is
enacted into law by the legislative body. In many
governmental jurisdictions, appropriations cannot be enacted
into law by resolution but only by a bill, ordinance, or order.
ARRA American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. This is the
economic stimulus legislation passed in 2009 to stimulate
economic growth.
APPROPRIATION
EXPENDITURE An expenditure chargeable to an appropriation. Since
virtually all expenditures of governments are chargeable to
appropriations, the term expenditures by itself is widely and
properly used.
ASSESSED VALUATION A valuation set upon real estate or other property by a
government as a basis for levying taxes.
AUTHORITY A government or public agency created to perform a single
function or a restricted group of related activities. Usually
such units are financed from service charges, fees, and tolls,
but in some instances they also have taxing powers. An
authority may be completely independent of other
governments or partially dependent upon other governments
for its creation, its financing, or the exercise of certain
powers.
AUTHORIZED POSITION A position (job) authorized by the Board of County
Commissioners as part of the annual adopted budget.
BOND An interest bearing promise to pay with a specific maturity.
BUDGET A plan of financial operation embodying an estimate of
proposed expenditures for a given period and the proposed
means of financing them. Used without any modifier, the
term usually indicates a financial plan for a single fiscal year.
The term "budget" is used in two senses in practice.
Sometimes it designates the financial plan presented to the
appropriating body for adoption and sometimes the plan
finally approved by that body. It is usually necessary to
specify whether the budget under consideration is preliminary
and tentative or whether it has been approved by the
appropriating body.
488
BUDGET DOCUMENT The instrument used by the budget-making authority to
present a comprehensive financial program to the
appropriating body. The budget document usually consists of
three parts. The first part contains a message from the
budget-making authority, together with a summary of the
proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
The second consists of schedules supporting the summary.
These schedules show, in detail, the information as to past
years' actual revenues, expenditures, and other data used in
making the estimates. The third part is composed of drafts of
the appropriation, revenue, and borrowing measures
necessary to put the budget into effect.
BUDGET MESSAGE A general discussion of the proposed budget as presented in
writing by the budget-making authority to the legislative body.
The budget message should contain an explanation of the
principal budget items, an outline of the government's
experience during the past period and its financial status at
the time of the message, and recommendations regarding
the financial policy for the coming period.
BUDGETARY ACCOUNTS Accounts used to enter the formally adopted annual
operating budget into the general ledger as part of the
management control technique of formal budgetary
integration.
BUDGETARY COMPARISONS Governmental GAAP financial reports must include
comparisons of approved budgeted amounts with actual
results of operations. Such reports should be subjected to an
independent audit, so that all parties involved in the annual
operating budget/legal appropriation process are provided
with assurances that government monies are spent in
accordance with the mutually agreed-upon budgetary plan.
BUDGETARY CONTROL The control or management of a government or enterprise in
accordance with an approved budget for the purpose of
keeping expenditures within the limitations of available
appropriations and available revenues.
BUDGETARY EXPENDITURES Decreases in net current assets. In contrast to conventional
expenditures, budgetary expenditures are limited in amount
to exclude amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities.
Due to their spending measurement focus, governmental
fund types are concerned with the measurement of budgetary
expenditures.
BUDGETED FUNDS Funds that are planned for certain uses but have not been
formally or legally appropriated by the legislative body. The
budget document that is submitted for Board approval is
composed of budgeted funds.
CALLABLE BONDS Bonds which are redeemable by the issuer prior to the
maturity date at a specified price at or above par.
CAPITAL BUDGET A plan of proposed capital outlays and the means of
financing them.
489
CAPITAL OUTLAY Expenditures for equipment, vehicles, or machinery that
results in the acquisition or addition to fixed assets.
CAPITAL PROGRAM A plan for capital expenditures to be incurred each year over
a fixed period of years to meet capital needs arising from the
long-term work program or otherwise. It sets forth each
project or other contemplated expenditure in which the
government is to have a part and specifies the full resources
estimated to be available to finance the projected
expenditures.
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND A fund created to account for financial resources to be used
for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities
(other than those financed by proprietary funds, Special
Assessment Funds, and Trust Funds).
CAPITAL RESOURCES Resources of a fixed or permanent character, such as land
and buildings, which cannot ordinarily be used to meet
current expenditures.
CERTIFICATES OF
PARTICIPATION(COP) Form of financial instrument similar to a bond to facilitate
lease/ purchase agreements. Not a debt of the County.
CONSERVATION TRUST State of Colorado lottery funds remitted to the County for
parks and recreation use.
CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT A budgetary reserve set aside for emergencies or unforeseen
expenditures not otherwise included in the budget.
CONTINUING
APPROPRIATION An appropriation which, once established, is automatically
renewed without further legislative action, period after period,
until altered or revoked. The term should not be confused
with INDETERMINATE APPROPRIATION.
COPS UHS Federal community oriented policing grant.
COST ALLOCATION PLAN Identification, accumulation and distribution of costs relative
to the provision of those services, along with the methods
used.
C.R.S. Colorado Revised Statutes
DA District Attorney
DEFAULT Failure to pay principal or interest when due. Defaults can
also occur for failure to meet nonpayment obligations, such
as reporting requirements, or when a material problem
occurs for the issuer, such as a bankruptcy.
490
DEFICIT (1) The excess of the liabilities of a fund over its assets.
(2) The excess of expenditures over revenues during an
accounting period; or, in the case of proprietary funds, the
excess of expense over income during an accounting period.
DEPRECIATION (1) Expiration in the service life of fixed assets, other than
wasting assets attributable to wear and tear, deterioration,
action of the physical elements, inadequacy, and
obsolescence.
(2) The portion of the cost of a fixed asset other than a
wasting asset which is charged as an expense during a
particular period. In accounting for depreciation, the cost of a
fixed asset, less any salvage value, is prorated over the
estimated service life of such an asset, and each period is
charged with a portion of such cost. Through this process,
the entire cost of the asset is ultimately charged off as an
expense.
DIRECT COSTS Costs that have a clearly identifiable beneficial or causal
relationship to the services performed.
DURATION The weighted maturity of a fixed-income investment=s cash
flows, used in the estimation of the price sensitivity of
fixed-income securities for a given change in interest rates.
EDAP Economic Development Action Partnership.
ENCUMBRANCES Obligations in the form of purchase orders, contracts, or
salary commitments which are chargeable to an
appropriation and for which a part of the appropriation is
reserved. They cease to be encumbrances when paid or
when an actual liability is set up.
ENTERPRISE FUND A fund established to finance and account for the acquisition,
operation, and maintenance of governmental facilities and
services which are entirely or predominantly self-supporting
by user charges. The Paramedic Service operates as an
Enterprise Fund.
ESTIMATED REVENUE The amount of projected revenue to be collected during the
fiscal year. The amount of revenue appropriated is the
amount approved by the Board.
EXPENDITURES Decreases in net financial resources. Expenditures include
current operating expenses which require the current or
future use of net current assets, debt service, and capital
outlays. The unmodified use of the term expenditures in this
text is intended to mean budgetary expenditures.
FISCAL PERIOD Any period at the end of which a government determines its
financial position and the results of its operations.
FISCAL YEAR A 12-month period to which the annual operating budget
applies and at the end of which a government determines its
financial position and the results of its operations.
491
FIXED ASSETS Assets of a long-term character which are intended to
continue to be held or used, such as land, buildings,
improvements other than buildings, machinery and
equipment.
FTE(FULL-TIME
EQUIVALENT) Numeric equivalent of one person occupying one
employment position for one year (equivalent of 2,080 hours
or 52 forty-hour weeks).
FUNCTION A group of related activities aimed at accomplishing a major
service or regulatory program for which a government is
responsible. For example, public health is a function.
FUNCTIONAL
CLASSIFICATION Expenditure classification according to the principal purposes
for which expenditures are made. Examples are public
safety, public health, public welfare, etc.
FUND A fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of
accounts recording cash and other financial resources,
together with all related liabilities and residual equities or
balances, and changes therein, which are segregated for the
purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain
objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions,
or limitations.
FUND BALANCE Fund balance is the excess of assets over liabilities and is
therefore also known as surplus funds.
GAAP (GENERALLY
ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES) Standards for financial accounting and reporting.
GENERAL FUND The fund used to account for all financial resources except
those required to be accounted for in another fund.
GENERAL OBLIGATION
BOND A municipal bond secured by the pledge of the issuer's full
faith, credit and taxing power.
GEOGRAPHICAL

County. The "base map" contains the least amount of
common data which is supplemented by attribute overlays.
GRANT A contribution by a government or other organization to
support a particular function. Grants may be classified as
either categorical or block depending upon the amount of
discretion allowed the grantee.
HIGHWAY USER TAX(HUTF) Revenue that is derived from the state gasoline tax, and
restricted for Road and Bridge activities.
INDETERMINATE
492
APPROPRIATION An appropriation which is not limited either to any definite
period of time or to any definite amount. A distinction must
be made between an indeterminate appropriation and a
continuing appropriation. In the first place, whereas a
continuing appropriation is indefinite only as to time, an
indeterminate appropriation is indefinite as to both time and
amount. In the second place, even indeterminate
appropriations which are indefinite only as to time are to be
distinguished from continuing appropriations in that such
indeterminate appropriations may eventually lapse. For
example, an appropriation to construct a building may be
made to continue in effect until the building is constructed.
Once the building is completed, however, the unexpended
balance of the appropriation lapses. A continuing
appropriation, on the other hand, may continue forever; it can
only be abolished by specific action of the legislative body.
INDIRECT COSTS Costs associated with, but not directly attributable to, the
providing of a product or service. These costs are usually
incurred by other departments in the support of operating
departments.
INTERFUND TRANSFER Amounts transferred from one fund to another.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL
REVENUE Revenue received from another government for a specified
purpose. In Weld County, these are funds from
municipalities, the State of Colorado, and the Federal
Government.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUND Funds used to account for the financing of goods or services
provided by one department to another department on a cost
reimbursement basis, for example, the Printing and Supply
Fund and the Computer Services Fund.
LINE-ITEM BUDGET A budget that lists each expenditure category (salary,
materials, telephone service, travel, etc.) separately, along
with the dollar amount budgeted for each specified category.
MANDATE Any responsibility, action or procedure that is imposed by one
sphere of government on another through constitutional,
legislative, administrative, executive, or judicial action as a
direct order or that is required as a condition of aid.
MATURITY The date when the principal amount of a security is payable.
MILL LEVY(TAX RATE) Rate applied to assessed valuation to determine property
taxes. A mill is 1/10th of a penny or $1.00 of tax for each
$1,000 of assessed valuation.
493
MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS The accrual basis of accounting adapted to the governmental
fund type Spending Measurement Focus. Under it, revenues
are recognized when they become both "measurable" and
"available to finance expenditures of the current period".
Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is
incurred except for:
(1) inventories of materials and supplies which may be
considered expenditures either when purchased or when
used;
(2) prepaid insurance and similar items which need not be
reported;
(3) accumulated unpaid vacation, sick pay, and other
employee benefit amounts which need not be recognized in
the current period, but for which larger-than-normal
accumulations must be disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements;
(4) interest on special assessment indebtedness which
may be recorded when due rather than accrued, if
approximately offset by interest earnings on special
assessment levies; and
(5) principal and interest on long-term debt which are
generally recognized when due. All governmental funds and
Expendable Trust Funds are accounted for using the
modified accrual basis of accounting.
NET BUDGET The net budget eliminates double counting in the budget,
such as fund transfers, and thus represents the true level of
programmed spending in the budget.
NON-DEPARTMENTAL A category established to account for expenses not
associated with any specific department, but all departments
or many, within a fund.
OBJECT As used in expenditure classification, this term applies to the
article purchased or the service obtained (as distinguished
from the results obtained from expenditures). Examples are
personal services, contractual services, materials, and
supplies.
OPERATING BUDGET Plans of current expenditures and the proposed means of
financing them. The annual operating budget (or, in the case
of some state governments, the biennial operating budget) is
the primary means by which most of the financing acquisition,
spending, and service delivery activities of a government are
controlled. The use of annual operating budgets is usually
required by law. Even where not required by law, however,
annual operating budgets are essential to sound financial
management and should be adopted by every government.
OPERATING EXPENSES Proprietary fund expenses which are directly related to the
fund's primary service activities.
494
OPERATING GRANTS Grants which are restricted by the grantor to operating
purposes or which may be used for either capital or operating
purposes at the discretion of the grantee.
OPERATING INCOME The excess of proprietary fund operating revenues over
operating expenses.
OPERATING TRANSFER Routine and/or recurring transfers of assets between funds.
ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT A responsibility center within a government.
ORGANIZATION UNIT
CLASSIFICATION Expenditure classification according to responsibility centers
within a government's organization structure. Classification
of expenditures by organization unit is essential to fixing
stewardship responsibility for individual government
resources.
OVERHEAD Those elements of cost necessary in the production of an
article or the performance of a service which are of such a
nature that the amount applicable to the product or service
cannot be determined accurately or readily. Usually they
relate to those objects of expenditure which do not become
an integral part of the finished product or service such as
rent, heat, light, supplies, management, supervision, etc.
PERA Colorado Public Employees' Retirement Association (PERA)
is the state retirement system.
PROGRAM An organized set of related work activities which are directed
toward a common purpose or goal and represent a well
defined expenditure of county resources.
PROGRAM BUDGET A budget wherein expenditures are based primarily on
programs of work and secondarily on character and object
class. A program budget is a transitional type of budget
between the traditional character and object class budget, on
the one hand, and the performance budget, on the other.
PROPRIETARY FUND A fund used to account for business-type activities in
government. The activities are usually financed with user
fees that are directly related to the services received. There
are two types of proprietary funds - enterprise and internal
service funds.
RATINGS Designations used by credit rating agencies to give relative
indications of credit quality.
RECIDIVISM A relapse into criminal habits after punishment.
REGISTERED BOND A bond whose owner is registered with the issuer or its agent.
Transfer of ownership can only be accomplished when the
securities are properly endorsed by the registered owner.
495
REIMBURSEMENTS (1) Repayments of amounts remitted on behalf of another
party.
(2) Interfund transactions which constitute reimbursements
of a fund for expenditures or expenses initially made from it
which are properly applicable to another fund -- e.g., an
expenditure properly chargeable to a Special Revenue Fund
was initially made from the General Fund, which is
subsequently reimbursed. They are recorded as
expenditures or expenses (as appropriate) in the reimbursing
fund and as reductions of the expenditure or expense in the
fund that is reimbursed.
RESERVE (1) An account used to earmark a portion of fund balance to
indicate that it is not appropriate for expenditure.
(2) An account used to earmark a portion of fund equity as
legally segregated for a specific future use.
RESIDUAL EQUITY
TRANSFER Non-recurring or non-routine transfers of assets between
funds.
REVENUE (1) Increases in governmental fund type net current assets
from other than expenditure refunds and residual equity
transfers. Under NCGA Statement 1, general long-term debt
proceeds and operating transfers-in are classified as "other
financing sources" rather than revenues.
(2) Increases in proprietary fund type net total assets from
other than expense refunds, capital contributions, and
residual equity transfers. Under NCGA Statement 1,
operating transfers-in are classified separately from
revenues.
REVENUE BOND A municipal bond payable from revenues derived from tolls,
charges or rents paid by users of the facility constructed with
the proceeds of the bond issue.
SH Abbreviation for State Highway
SOURCE OF REVENUE Revenues are classified according to their source or point of
origin.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND A fund used to account for revenues legally earmarked for a
particular purpose.
SUBACTIVITY A specific line of work performed in carrying out a
governmental activity. For example, "cleaning luminaries"
and "replacing defective street lamps" would be subactivities
under the activity of"street light maintenance".
SUBFUNCTION A grouping of related activities within a particular
governmental function. For example, "police" is a
subfunction of the function "public safety".
496
SURPLUS The use of the term "surplus" in governmental accounting is
generally discouraged because it creates a potential for
misleading inference.
TABOR (TAXPAYERS
BILL OF RIGHTS) An amendment to the Colorado Constitution approved by the
voters in November 1992. The Taxpayers Bill of Rights has
been incorporated in the State Constitution as Section 20 of
Article X. The amendment limits growth in both state and
local government revenue and expenditures, makes provision
for annual elections, and requires voter approval for tax
increases.
TABOR RESERVE Term applied to a reserve which is required by the TABOR
Amendment. Starting in 1995 this reserve is 3% of "Fiscal
Year Spending" excluding bonded debt service. This
reserve is for use in declared emergencies only.
TANF Temporary Assistance to Needy Families.
TAXES Compulsory charges levied by a government for the purpose
of financing services performed for the common benefit. This
term does not include specific charges made against
particular persons or property for current or permanent
benefits such as special assessments. Neither does the term
include charges for services rendered only to those paying
such charges as, for example, sewer service charges.
TAX LEVY The total amount to be raised by general property taxes.
TAX RATE The amount of tax stated in terms of a unit of the tax base;
for example, 25 mills per dollar of assessed valuation of
taxable property.
TAX RATE LIMIT The maximum rate at which a government may levy a tax.
The limit may apply to taxes raised for a particular purpose,
or to taxes imposed for all purposes, and may apply to a
single government, to a class of governments, or to all
governments operating in a particular area. Overall tax rate
limits usually restrict levies for all purposes and of all
governments, state and local, having jurisdiction in a given
area.
TAX ROLL The official list showing the amount of taxes levied against
each taxpayer or property. Frequently, the tax roll and the
assessment roll are combined, but even in these cases the
two can be distinguished.
TRADITIONAL BUDGET A term sometimes applied to the budget of a government
wherein expenditures are based entirely or primarily on
objects of expenditure.
UNC University of Northern Colorado
UNINCORPORATED COUNTY Those portions of the county that are not part of a legal entity
such as a city or some towns.
