Conway Commissioner William F. Garcia — EXCUSED Commissioner David E. Long Also present: County Attorney, Bruce T. Barker Acting Clerk to the Board, Elizabeth Strong Director of Finance and Administration, Monica Mika MINUTES: Commissioner Conway moved to approve the minutes of the Board of County Commissioners meeting of December 22, 2010, as printed. Commissioner Long seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. AMENDMENTS TO AGENDA: Commissioner Conway moved to add New Items of Business: 11) Consider Proposal and Statement of Work for Additional 2010 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Grant Funding, for Development of Vaccine Management and Transfer Process, and authorize Chair to sign [2010-3048], and 12) Consider Cancellation of Board of County Commissioners Meeting Scheduled for December 27, 2010 [2010-3049]. Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC INPUT: Doug Meyer, Weld County resident, indicated that after protests by the Exotic Wildlife Association and hundreds of landowners, the Kerr County Commissioners in the State of Texas passed a Resolution adopting out of the region-wide Habitat Conservation Plan. He indicated Kerr County decided it was not going to be forced by Federal agencies and major environmental organizations to create plans which are detrimental to the constituents and local economy. He stated it is expected that the surrounding counties will follow the lead of Kerr County and opt out of the Habitat Conservation Plan. Mr. Meyer stated two (2) small songbirds; the Black-capped Vireo and the Golden-Cheeked Warbler live in 33 counties in central Texas, and in the early 1990s, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tried to list the counties as habitat for the two (2) endangered birds; however, protests from thousands of Texans killed the plan. He stated that since then, the Federal government has tried numerous ways of enticing landowners and counties into succumbing to its plans; however, most counties have resisted. He indicated that when Bruce Babbitt came up with the concept of habitat conservation plans, several counties and cities within the State of Texas aided the Federal government by creating large preserves and committing thousands of acres and landowners to the plans. Mr. Meyer stated Bexar Minutes, December 22, 2010 2010-3047 Page 1 BC0016 County and the City of San Antonio filed an application with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife involving six (6) surrounding counties and when landowners discovered the County Commissioners were helping in the plan, they became incensed, which led to a Resolution opting out of the plan. He stated the Habitat Conservation Plan will give zoning authority to the managing committee made up of Bexar County and the City of Antonio when the map is created, which will consist of a minimum of 10,000 acres in each of the six (6) surrounding counties and place a major encumbrance on the areas, destroy property values, and reduce the tax base of each County. Mr. Meyer stated the plan will create an exorbitant fee for the landowners, who are targeted as having habitat, to utilize their land, and the fees will be collected by San Antonio and Bexar County and used to purchase more land to create a large preserve or used as a management budget to operate the plan. He stated the landowners will discover they cannot build a fence, barn, or home, or subdivide without permission from the newly created group, which is sanctioned by the Federal government. He stated Kerr County did the right thing by opting out of the plan and other counties should follow its lead. Mr. Meyer stated the Federal government can accomplish the same goal of preserving land by approaching landowners and requesting to place conservation easements on their land in perpetuity, in order to save a particular species. He stated the American Stewards of Liberty does not endorse conservation easements; however, it also does not endorse a county having the ability to form a habitat conservation plan to the detriment of the neighboring counties. He stated proponents of habitat conservation plans claim participation is voluntary; however, once the plan goes into effect, landowners with habitat will be forced into compliance. CONSENT AGENDA: Commissioner Conway moved to approve the Consent Agenda as printed. Commissioner Long seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. COMMISSIONER COORDINATOR REPORTS: There were no Commissioner Coordinator Reports. BIDS: APPROVE BID #61000163, COLOR COPIER - DEPARTMENT OF PRINTING AND SUPPLY: Monica Mika, Director of Finance and Administration, submitted a spread sheet containing purchase and lease prices into the record, marked Exhibit A, and she recommended awarding the bid to Capital Business Systems, Inc. She indicated the initial cost from Capital Business Systems, Inc., is higher than the other vendors; however, when factoring in the associated costs, including maintenance, it is the low bidder. She stated the County has worked with Capital Business Systems, Inc., in the past and been pleased with the service it has received. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. Mika stated the County is not leasing the copier before purchasing it; it is just purchasing the product. Responding to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Mika stated the two (2) local vendors' bids are substantially higher, and Bratton's Office Equipment submitted the second highest bid, in the amount of $522,053.00; whereas, the bid from Capital Business Systems, Inc., is in the amount of $319,690.00. Responding to Chair Rademacher, Ms. Mika indicated the large cost disparity is due to accessories on some of the copiers, which the County does not need; however, she has verified the products and warranties are comparable amongst the bids. Commissioner Long moved to approve said low bid from Capital Business Systems, Inc., in the amount of $319,690.00, based on staff's recommendation. Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS: CONSIDER CANCELLATION OF 2010 OUTSTANDING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR WELD COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT: Barb Connolly, Controller, stated this is the list of outstanding accounts receivable from the Department of Public Health and Environment, and the Board is being asked for its approval to write off the accounts. She stated the total amount of the outstanding accounts is $14,363.95, which is down from last year, and the criterion for an account to be included on the list is when there has not been any payment activity on the account for six (6) months or longer. In response to Chair Rademacher, Ms. Connolly confirmed it is Minutes, December 22, 2010 2010-3047 Page 2 BC0016 not worth the County's investment to pursue judgments, since the account amounts are small. Responding to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Connolly indicated it is also not worth turning the accounts over to a collection company, based on the small account amounts. Commissioner Long moved to approve the cancellation of the 2010 outstanding accounts receivable for the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment. Seconded by Commissioner Conway, the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER EQUIPMENT PURCHASE PROPOSAL AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN — POWER EQUIPMENT COMPANY: Ms. Connolly stated this proposal is to purchase a loader, which was discussed in a work session last week, and the purchase price is $167,000.00. She stated there will be an estimated cost savings of approximately $40,000.00, to $60,000.00, if the Board approves this proposal. In response to Chair Rademacher, Ms. Connolly confirmed staff has driven the loader. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Pat Persichino, Department of Public Works, confirmed he drove the loader, and he recommended purchasing the equipment, since it is a nice piece of equipment, with 800 hours of use, and it will save the taxpayers approximately $40,000.00, to $60,000.00. He stated the County has purchased two (2) of these loaders in the past, which are working wonderfully, and this is a necessary piece of equipment. He stated staff estimated it was going to cost $226,000.00 to purchase a new loader. In response to Chair Rademacher, Mr. Persichino stated the Department will sell an old piece of equipment, if this new piece of equipment is purchased. Commissioner Conway moved to approve said equipment purchase proposal and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER ASSIGNMENT OF TAX LIEN SALE CERTIFICATES TO USA LAND TRUST, LLC, AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Bruce Barker, County Attorney, recommended approval of the assignment of the Tax Lien Sale Certificates for five (5) properties to USA Land Trust, LLC, which has paid $543.38. Commissioner Long moved to approve the assignment of said Tax Lien Sale Certificates to USA Land Trust, LLC, and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Conway, the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER ASSIGNMENT OF TAX LIEN SALE CERTIFICATES TO ARTHUR FINE AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Mr. Barker recommended approval of the assignment of the Tax Lien Sale Certificates for 21 properties to Arthur Fine, who has paid $10,829.54. Commissioner Long moved to approve the assignment of said Tax Lien Sale Certificates to Arthur Fine and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER ASSIGNMENT OF TAX LIEN SALE CERTIFICATE TO MARVIN ENTERPRISES, LLC, AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Mr. Barker recommended approval of the assignment of the Tax Lien Sale Certificate for one (1) property to Marvin Enterprises, LLC, which has paid $15.18. Commissioner Conway moved to approve the assignment of said Tax Lien Sale Certificate to Marvin Enterprises, LLC, and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER ASSIGNMENT OF TAX LIEN SALE CERTIFICATE TO BLACK FAMILY TRUST AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Mr. Barker recommended approval of the assignment of the Tax Lien Sale Certificate for one (1) property to the Black Family Trust, which has paid $81.33. Commissioner Conway moved to approve the assignment of said Tax Lien Sale Certificate to the Black Family Trust and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously. Minutes, December 22, 2010 2010-3047 Page 3 BC0016 CONSIDER CANCELLATION OF 2010 OUTSTANDING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR WELD COUNTY PARAMEDIC SERVICE: Ms. Connolly stated this is a list of the outstanding accounts receivable for the Weld County Paramedic Service, and the amount the Board is being asked to write off is $3,212,661.93, which is down from the amount written off for the year 2009, by approximately $700,000.00. She stated there is one (1) employee in the Paramedic Service office that works on collections before the accounts are turned over to collection agencies. In response to Chair Rademacher, Dave Bressler, Director, Weld County Paramedic Service, indicated the Paramedic Service has been able to implement an electronic process which has freed up more time to try to collect outstanding debts, and the Department is applying the maximum amount of pressure it can on customers, without utilizing more aggressive collection techniques, as he has discussed with Commissioners Conway and Garcia. He indicated the Department attempts to collect on the outstanding accounts, according to a schedule, and it turns the accounts over to Professional Finance as soon as it is possible. He indicated when there is an incorrect address, or no address, including indigent people with no billing addresses, it does not pay to have a County employee invest time trying to collect the debts, since there would not be enough debt collected to pay for the employee's position; therefore, the accounts are immediately turned over to a collection company. Commissioner Conway commended Mr. Bressler for reducing the amount of unpaid debt. He indicated the County has tried to address the "frequent flier" issue which has impacted people all across the State, and the reduced debt is due to Mr. Bressler and his staff's efforts. He stated part of the problem is two-thirds of the Paramedic Service billing is to Medicaid and Medicare, which has reimbursement rates set by Congress. Commissioner Conway stated this is a topic the Board should discuss with Congressional representatives when it has the opportunity; to make them aware of the impact the reimbursement rates are having. He stated the County is also dealing with insurance companies which will only pay a portion of the bill, when people thought they would be insured for the full amount. Commissioner Kirkmeyer concurred with Commissioner Conway; however, she indicated the rates do not necessarily relate to the debt because of the situation Commissioner Conway described with the insurance companies. She stated there are parts of the County which are being subsidized by others parts of the County, due to people not having insurance. She stated the Paramedic Service does the best job it can in attempting to collect the debts. Commissioner Kirkmeyer indicated the Resolution states "Whereas, said accounts have been deemed uncollectible in accordance with guidelines adopted by the City of Greeley and County of Weld," and she inquired as to what guidelines involve the City of Greeley. Mr. Bressler stated the language Commissioner Kirkmeyer referred to is probably from the late 1980's or early 1990's, when the City of Greeley used to provide payments on bad accounts, for people the Paramedic Service transported who had valid Greeley addresses. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Bressler confirmed the Resolution should only refer to Weld County; not the City of Greeley. Commissioner Long indicated he is wondering whether there is a way to analyze which areas of the County would benefit from prevention efforts. Mr. Bressler stated when Commissioner Conway took over as the Commissioner Coordinator for the Paramedic Service, he focused on identifying people who were inappropriately utilizing the Paramedic Service, who should have been utilizing other County Services. He stated that Judy Griego, Director, Department of Human Services, has assisted the Paramedic Service by immediately interfacing with people through home visits, to explain the Paramedic Service is not a primary health care provider or a home health care provider, and then the Department of Human Services refers the individuals to other available programs. He stated 40 percent of the people utilizing the Paramedic Service are utilizing it as a primary or home health care provider, due to losing insurance benefits, no longer being two-income families, or due to people being afraid to go to the emergency room and incurring more costs, resulting in the Paramedic Service Minutes, December 22, 2010 2010-3047 Page 4 BC0016 treating and releasing those individuals. In response to Commissioner Long, Mr. Bressler stated the Paramedic Service is being called for a lot of lift assists, since more people who would have entered an assisted living or nursing home facility are now at home with family members, who are no longer employed, caring for them. He stated the Paramedic Service and the Fire Departments are responding to complete lift assists for people being transferred from wheels chairs to beds or baths, and many of those people are treated and released, which Medicaid does not provide payment for; Medicaid only provides payment if the individuals are transported. He indicated in these situations, the individuals must sign a form which allows them to be billed directly and people can make payments as low as $25.00; however, many people cannot afford to even pay the minimum amount. Mr. Bressler clarified there are not problems with Medicaid billing for people who have high acuity health issues and are transported to the hospital and treated; it is the people that refuse to be transported after the Paramedic Service has treated them, for issues such as seasonal illnesses and respiratory problems. He indicated it takes a long time for the Paramedic Service to communicate with Sunrise Clinic and other community resources because the Paramedic Service is contacted by the people requiring assistance outside of regular business hours, when those places are not available for service. He stated people often do not want to go to the emergency room due to the long wait times and high costs, and urgent care facilities are often closed when the Paramedic Service is contacted. Commissioner Long stated it seems awareness building within the community would be helpful in regards to educating people on caretaking of family members, as well as prevention efforts through the Department of Public Health and Environment. He suggested a work session be scheduled with the Department of Public Health and Environment and the Paramedic Service, in order to determine what efforts the Department of Public Health and Environment may be able to initiate to promote prevention awareness-building. Mr. Bressler indicated the Paramedic Service has coordinated with North Colorado Medical Center (NCMC), so that when patients are discharged, NCMC connects the patients with County services and resources, including the home safety and accident prevention programs provided by Northern Colorado RETAC. He indicated most trauma injuries within Weld County are caused by falls; not traffic accidents. Commissioner Conway indicated he supports Commissioner Long's suggestion about the Paramedic Service partnering with the Department of Public Health and Environment, and perhaps a grant for a pilot program could be obtained, or this may tie into the Health Alliance, which has been very successful. He stated reducing slips and falls for the elderly who want to remain at home will keep those individuals out of the system, which costs far more than the debt the County is writing off for the Paramedic Service. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated the Area Agency on Aging and the Extension Office should also be involved with the efforts, and another factor that should be considered is people's fear of loneliness. Mr. Bressler stated SEMTAC (the Colorado State Emergency Medical and Trauma Advisory Council) has allowed some of the HUTF (Highway Users' Tax Fund) money to be diverted into 603 funds, which are for regional programs like the ones that Commissioner Long has described. He stated the State previously was reluctant to interface injury prevention with the first responder; however, it is finding out the disconnection is costly and inefficient. He stated the Paramedic Service is working on carseat safety and other prevention models; not only injury prevention models. Mr. Bressler stated people on home oxygen sometimes contact the Ambulance Service when their oxygen quits working at 2:00 a.m., and they want the Ambulance and Fire Services to serve as a home health care agency, particularly when people live in rural areas where many services cannot access them. He stated there are only four (4) ambulances operating across the County at night. Commissioner Conway commended Mr. Bressler for being pro-active. He stated the reimbursement rate for Medicare is 25 percent and the reimbursement rate for Medicaid is just seven (7) percent. Commissioner Conway moved to approve said cancellation of the 2010 outstanding accounts receivable for the Weld County Paramedic Service, with the amendment to remove the language referring to the City of Greeley from the Resolution. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously. Minutes, December 22, 2010 2010-3047 Page 5 BC0016 CONSIDER AMENDMENT#3 TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT AGREEMENT FOR INTRADO/TIBURON ZOLL (EMERGENCY SERVICES SOFTWARE) PROJECT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Ms. Mika indicated this amendment will extend the agreement to June 30, 2011. She stated the original grant was for an interface between Tiburon and Zoll, and this is now an interface between Spillman and Zoll; therefore, the County is unable to proceed until it evaluates the new software and determines whether it is able to connect the two (2) software products. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said amendment and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER AGREEMENT FOR RECEIPT OF COURT SECURITY GRANT FUNDS AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN ELECTRONICALLY: Ms. Mika indicated the grant application was presented to the Board several weeks ago and a work session was conducted regarding the grant. She stated several members of the Local Security Team (LST) are present and Karen Salaz, District Administrator for the 19th Judicial District, submitted a letter. She stated the Board is in receipt of partial funding from the grant application, and the LST met and concurred with the State's recommendation for partial funding. Ms. Salaz indicated she outlined all the important information in the letter she submitted, and she will respond to questions the Board has about the letter. In response to Chair Rademacher, Ms. Mika indicated the letter has been scanned into the database with the other documents for this item of business. She indicated Page 5 of the scanned documents specifically delineates what was approved, and only a portion of the requested $302,000.00 was received, with a majority of the funding being awarded for the video conferencing initiative, to interface with the State, and for other ancillary equipment. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she is willing to support this agreement, with the understanding that the ongoing operating and maintenance costs need to be addressed through the budgeting process. Commissioner Conway moved to approve said agreement and authorize the Chair to sign electronically. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER VETERANS SERVICE OFFICER'S MONTHLY REPORT AND CERTIFICATION OF PAY AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Ms. Mika stated this is the Veterans Service Officer's Monthly Report and Certification of Pay for the month of November, and she recommended approval. In response to Chair Rademacher, Ms. Mika confirmed the Certification of Pay is in the amount of $4,554.67. Commissioner Long moved to approve said Veteran's Service Officer's Report and Certification of Pay, and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER PROPOSAL AND STATEMENT OF WORK FOR ADDITIONAL 2010 AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT (ARRA) GRANT FUNDING, FOR DEVELOPMENT OF VACCINE MANAGEMENT AND TRANSFER PROCESS, AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Debbie Drew, Director of Public Health Services, Department of Public Health and Environment, introduced Kathy Smith-Stillson, Community Health Supervisor, Department of Public Health and Environment, and she stated this item is a proposal to accept Federal grant funding, passing through the State, for a vaccine transfer kit and infrastructure building. She indicated staff is proposing utilizing the funding, in the amount of $13,459.00, to purchase new refrigeration units for vaccine storage. She stated the Department currently has a large state of the art vaccine storage unit, which is full, as well as household refrigeration units which are being utilized to store vaccines; however, it is expected that in the near future, the State will no longer allow the use of the household units for vaccine storage. Ms. Drew stated she has included the delivery cost and the cost for installing a DictoGuard alarm system in the planned expenditures, and she has communicated with Toby Taylor, Department of Buildings and Grounds, regarding the electrical needs for the new refrigeration units. In response to Minutes, December 22, 2010 2010-3047 Page 6 BC0016 Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. Drew confirmed one (1) of the refrigeration units will be utilized by the southwest Weld County office. Ms. Mika stated there was a great deal of confusion regarding this request and she recommended the Department follow the procurement process in the future. She indicated she spoke to Mr. Taylor and there is some confusion as to why the Department needs six (6) refrigeration units when it only had one (1) refrigeration unit prior to the H1N1 outbreak. Ms. Mika stated it is difficult to support the Department of Public Health and Environment with these types of requests when adequate time to review the request and follow the established process has not been given to the other involved Departments. In response to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Smith-Stillson stated there is one (1) unit located at the Hazardous Waste facility, which is available to be utilized if the generators were to fail during a power outage in the other buildings where the refrigeration units are located, since the Department has over $200,000.00 in immunization materials. She stated there is also a large refrigeration storage unit located within the North County Clinic storage area, and staff is hoping to add a second one (1) at the location. She stated there is a refrigeration unit located in the prep room at the North County Clinic and there is another one (1) at the South County Clinic, which is a total of five (5) refrigeration units. Ms. Smith-Stillson stated this grant money was offered in late November, with a short window of time provided to create a proposal, and she did not initially know how many refrigeration units the Department would be allowed to request; therefore, she obtained quotes for one (1), two (2), and three (3) refrigeration units. She stated there was some confusion where certain people misunderstood the request and thought the Department had submitted multiple requests for the refrigeration units; whereas, she had simply obtained quotes for one (1), two (2), and three (3) units, since she did not know how many units the Department would be requesting. In response to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Smith-Stillson stated most of the companies that sell these refrigeration units are located out of the country, in India, France, and Germany, and what is available within the United States that meets the Department's needs is from Sanyo; therefore, she approached Sanyo and was put in contact with a local representative. She stated the local representative had recently arranged an agreement with the State for these refrigeration units, which ordinarily cost over $7,000.00 each, and as a result of the agreement with the State, Sanyo is able to provide the units for approximately $3,500.00. In response to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Smith-Stillson confirmed it is unlikely another vendor would have submitted a lower bid than the price the State had secured with Sanyo for the refrigeration units. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. Smith-Stillson clarified the Department currently has four (4) refrigeration units, and it will be replacing two (2) of the units; therefore, there will be a total of five (5) units. She stated the two (2) units being replaced are between five (5) and 10 years and although the units are working, the units will not meet some of the proposed State and CDC (Centers for Disease Control) guidelines, since the units are household units. In response to Chair Rademacher, Ms. Smith- Stillson stated the units will be coming from Sanyo in Chicago, Illinois. In response to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Smith-Stillson clarified the household units can currently be utilized to store vaccines; however, it is anticipated the guidelines will be changing in the near future, and it is recommended by the State that household units not be utilized to store vaccines, yet it is not yet mandated. Commissioner Conway moved to approve said Proposal and Statement of Work and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion carried unanimously. APPROVE CANCELLATION OF BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 27, 2010: Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve the cancellation of the Board of County Commissioners meeting scheduled for December 27, 2010.
