This was a regularly scheduled council meeting and council members received a copy of your letter. There was discussion concerning the two requests within your letter. Council stated they would like to engage in discussion with your commissioners concerning the potential partnership for improvement of the intersection of Harmony and County Road 1 (Weld County 74). The second request asked Timnath Council to reconsider truck traffic restrictions on Harmony. This request was reviewed by Council and they determined the current North Front Range MPO Sub-Regional Study and truck route designation is appropriate. It was also determined that there will be no review of the current ordinance and no change will occur. Timnath Town Council and staff are looking forward to working with your Board and staff to improve the Harmony/County Road intersection. Once again thank you for contacting us. If you have questions or comments, please contact Sherri Wagner at 970-224-3211. Sincerely, (D__i>_..x.jj.)

While preparing applications for this effort, a specific safety project was brought to the attention of the Commissioners, and we would like to discuss it with Timnath. This important safety project would widen WCR 74 from two to four lanes at State Highway 257 west to County Line Road(WCR 13). Currently,this roadway averages 9,750 vehicles per day with 20%of that being truck traffic. Weld County would like to apply for STP-Metro funds on behalf of Windsor and Timnath. Weld County is anticipating the cost of improvements to be approximately$6,000,000(design in FY14 and construction in FY15). We would like to know if Timnath would be willing to contribute a portion of the required 17.21%local match funds or potential 15%overmatch funds,which can be in-kind services, for the intersection improvements of WCR 13/LCR 1/ Timnath's participation is critical to the grant request,not only for the intersection improvements within Timnath right-of-way,but more importantly,because WCR 74 is used as a major truck route connecting Weld County, Severance,Windsor,Timnath,Larimer County and Fort Collins. It is imperative Timnath support this project by reconsidering the restriction of truck traffic on this significant corridor with town limits. Timnath's support will make the application more competitive in comparison to other MPO projects. In addition, this project exemplifies cooperative collaboration between multiple governmental agencies and will improve the general health,safety, and welfare of the surrounding area. Weld County Public Works Department is more than happy to provide the management capacity to implement and oversee the construction of this project. Weld County would be extremely pleased to partner with Timnath on this project and hopes the Town Council also sees the value partnering on this application will mean for the entire MPO Region.

We discussed a letter from former Mayor Donna Benson dated November 22, 2010, regarding Surface Transportation Program (STP-Metro)Joint Application Request. Per Barbara Kirkmeyer, Chair of the Weld County Commissioners,there are no MPO funds available for this project. She agrees with you that if there are no MPO funds available, there is no need to meet. Unless we hear otherwise from you, we will close the file. Thank you for your assistance.
