COMMISSIONER COORDINATOR REPORTS: Chair Pro-Tern Conway stated he and Commissioner
Garcia attended a wonderful event on Monday evening. In response to Chair Pro-Tern Conway,
Commissioner Garcia stated the event they attended was a ribbon cutting event for a former Prisoner of
War (POW) work camp from World War II. He stated the camp was located just outside of the City of
Greeley and it housed German Prisoners of War. He stated it was exciting to view the old photographs
of the camp from when it housed thousands of people, and how well these people were treated is a
testament to the citizens of Weld County, as opposed to what was occurring by the Nazis.
Commissioner Garcia stated it was a wonderful activity and the camp was listed as an endangered
place by the Colorado Preservation, Inc.; however, it has now been recovered. He stated anyone can
visit the site; it is located just across from the State Farm Offices in Promontory. Commissioner
Rademacher indicated his family had POWs work on their sugar beet farm, and his family treated them
well and even served them desserts, despite the guards apprehension about the treats. He stated the
POWs did a good job on the farm, and many of them relocated to this area. Chair Pro-Tern Conway
stated a 14-year old boy named Travis, completed the landscaping at the site as part of his Eagle Scout
project, and he did a wonderful job. He stated he was aware there was a former POW camp in the
area; however, he was unaware that it contained approximately 3,000 POWs. He stated most of the
POWs were from Germany and Austria, and he reiterated many of the POWs relocated to Weld County
and became a part of the community.
Chair Pro-Tem Conway stated the Weld County Fair has begun, and he invited everyone to the parade
and free barbecue occurring on Sunday.

CONSIDER APPLICATION FOR RADON AWARENESS GRANT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN:
Trevor Jiricek, Department of Public Health and Environment, stated the Board has discussed this grant
application in a work session, and it has reviewed it as a "pass-around document. He stated the
Department is requesting $9,550.00 from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
for radon test kits, printing postage, registration at various events, travel, and promotional items. He
stated this is primarily an educational-based grant and the State wants the Department to focus on
policy change and the adoption of radon-resistant criteria; therefore, staff will be providing educational
materials, yet it will not be soliciting policy changes. Commissioner Garcia moved to approve said
application and authorize the Chair to sign. Commissioner Rademacher seconded the motion. Chair
Pro-Tem Conway thanked Mr. Jiricek for addressing the concerns identified by the Board at the work
session, and he stated this program has been hugely successful at informing people about the dangers
of radon and how it can be combated in their homes. He stated the County will adequately
accommodate the State's public safety goals concerning radon, without overstepping its boundaries.
There being no further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR USED OIL DISPOSAL AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN
- THERMO FLUIDS, INC.: Mr. Jiricek stated there has been a minor change made to this agreement.
He stated Thermo Fluids, Inc., collects used oil at the Household Hazardous Waste site and it pays the
County a fee per gallon. He stated it is apparently a competitive market because Thermo Fluids, Inc.,
is willing to pay the County more for its used oil; it will now be paying 33 cents per gallon, as opposed
to 15 cents. He indicated this agreement will be subjected to the bid process next year, in order to
make sure the County is receiving a competitive rate. Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve
said agreement and authorize the Chair to sign. Commissioner Garcia seconded the motion. Chair
Pro-Tem Conway stated this increase is due to Mr. Jiricek's great negotiating skills. Mr. Jiricek clarified
that Barb Connolly, Controller, noticed the change with the Fleet Maintenance and secured the
increased compensation for the Department of Public Health and Environment. In response to
Commissioner Rademacher, Ms. Connolly stated she is unsure as to how many gallons of oil are
recycled; however, it does not generate a lot of money. She stated a check was recently issued to
Fleet Maintenance for approximately $800.00; however, she is unsure as to how often the checks are
issued. Mr. Jiricek stated approximately 1,000 to 3,000 gallons of used oil comes out of the Household
Hazardous Waste site; however, it is much dirtier than the used oil from the Fleet Maintenance, and the
Department of Public Health and Environment is paid at a lower rate. He stated at 33 cents per gallon,
the Department would be paid approximately $500.00 if there were 1,500 gallons of used oil produced.
Chair Pro-Tem Conway commended Mr. Jiricek and Ms. Connolly for their efforts. There being no
further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF CR 16.5 BETWEEN CRS 1 AND 3.25: Janet Carter,
Department of Public Works, stated said closure will commence August 1, 2011, through August 5,
2011, in order to replace a 15-inch corrugated metal irrigation culvert. She stated the detour route is
paved, and road signs and barricades will be used throughout the closure. In response to
Commissioner Rademacher, Ms. Carter confirmed the culvert is used for irrigation purposes; however,
it is for private use and it is not used by a ditch company. Commissioner Rademacher moved to
approve said temporary closure. Seconded by Commissioner Garcia, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER CHANGE ORDER #1 TO GEISERT GRAVEL PIT SLURRY WALL DESIGN-BUILD
CONTRACT (BID#61100041) AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN — HALL-IRWIN CORPORATION:
Clay Kimmi, Department of Public Works, stated this change order was presented to the Board at a
work session on Monday. He stated the change order is for $475,164.00, to cover an unexpected
increase in the necessary depth of the slurry wall. Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve said
change order and authorize the Chair to sign. Commissioner Garcia seconded the motion, which
carried unanimously.

Colorado Revised Statutes, and the Weld County Code, in order to carry out weed control measures.
In response to Commissioner Garcia, Ms. Booton confirmed the Windsor Center is a private business
and not a government facility. In response to Chair Pro-Tem Conway, Ms. Booton confirmed staff will
continue to try to work with the property owners and they will make one last attempt to communicate

upon said lands by a Weld County Vegetation Management Specialist. Seconded by Commissioner
Rademacher, the motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING:
CONSIDER EXTENDING PERFORMANCE BOND FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW #340 - ROLINDA

performance bond is in the amount of $350,000.00, and staff has inspected the site to verify whether
the improvements have been completed. He stated it was determined the improvements are
incomplete; therefore, staff requests the Board retain the monies. In response to Chair Pro-Tem
Conway, Mr. Ogle confirmed the bond may be used by the County to complete the project if it desires
to take that action. There were no representatives of Rolinda Colorado Company, Limited, present,
and there was no public testimony. Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve extending the

unanimously.
