WELD COUNTY, COLORADO

The Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, met in regular session in full
conformity with the laws of the State of Colorado at the regular place of meeting in the Weld County
Centennial Center, Greeley, Colorado, July 21, 2010, at the hour of 9:00 a.m.
ROLL CALL: The meeting was called to order by the Chair and on roll call the following members
were present, constituting a quorum of the members thereof:
Commissioner Douglas Rademacher, Chair
Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer, Pro-Tem
Commissioner Sean P. 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 July 19, 2010, as printed. Commissioner Long seconded the motion, and it
carried unanimously.
AMENDMENTS TO AGENDA: There were no amendments to the agenda.
PUBLIC INPUT: R. Chris Eikenberg, Weld County resident, submitted the worksheet which was
utilized to calculate the amount of child support her ex-husband pays into the record, marked Exhibit A.
She stated that she submitted the worksheet in order to allow the Board to see the poor quality of the
print, which she spoke about at the last Board meeting. She stated she wants the Board to eliminate
the low-income adjustments for child support calculations because adjustments are also made based
on the amount of time the children spend with each parent. Ms. Eikenberg stated the low-income child
support adjustment is not acceptable because she will have to apply for a higher food stamp allowance
as a result of the reduction in child support, which affects Weld County's tax payers. She stated her
ex-husband does not live in Weld County; therefore, she does not understand why he is being given the
low-income child support adjustment, since it does not benefit Weld County's citizens. She stated she
must provide proof of her address and income; however, the Department of Human Services will not tell
her whether her ex-husband is working and the staff has an argumentative spirit. Ms. Eikenberg
indicated she pays a $25.00 fee to ensure her child support matter is periodically reviewed and she
wants the fee to be divided between her and her ex-husband. She stated she has contacted Chief
Judge Hartmann about this matter, and three (3) churches have offered to host a forum to discuss how
child support is calculated. She stated she is disabled; however, she is looking for work, and when her
income increases, she reports it to the judge. She stated the Board needs to hold her ex-husband
accountable for proving his residence and income information. In response to Ms. Eikenberg,
Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated staff is working on scheduling a forum about Child Welfare matters for
Minutes, July 21, 2010 2010-1609
(1,11 Page 1 BC0016
Ms. Eikenberg's group; however, Judge Hartmann is the appropriate person to speak to regarding how
child support obligations are determined. She stated the worksheet Ms. Eikenberg submitted into the
record is a judicial form; not a form from the Department of Human Services; therefore, she needs to
address that issue with Judge Hartmann as well.
CONSENT AGENDA: Commissioner Long moved to approve the Consent Agenda as printed.
Commissioner Conway seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously.

interest.
BIDS:
PRESENT BID #B1000100, REMODELING OF WELD COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
(FORMERLY THE SYKES BUILDING) - DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS: Monica
Mika, Director of Finance and Administration, stated said bid will be presented for approval on
August 4, 2010, and she recommended the Board conduct a work session to discuss the numerous
variables within the bid. She stated all the vendors, except one (1), are located within the State. She
suggested one (1) name of the building be agreed on for consistency.
OLD BUSINESS:
CONSIDER PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN -
COLORADO TRACTOR PULLERS ASSOCIATION (CGTPA) (CONT FROM 7/19/10): Bruce Barker,
County Attorney, stated this agreement has been updated to the correct form; therefore, he
recommends approval. Commissioner Conway moved to approve said agreement and authorize the
Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDER ENTRY UPON VARIOUS LANDS BY WELD COUNTY VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
SPECIALIST: Tina Booton, Department of Public Works, Weed Division, stated under the Colorado
Weed Management Act and the Weld County Code, she must seek right of entry from the Board to
enter onto private lands to carry out weed control measures. Chair Rademacher stated the list of
property owners is longer than usual today. He stated Carma Bayshore, LLC, has a significant amount
of infrastructure which may be damaged by weed control measures; however, Ms. Booton assured him
at a previous meeting that the contractors have liability insurance. Ms. Booton stated there are
meetings scheduled with Carma Bayshore, LLC; Asphalt Paving Company; and Consolidated Mutual
Water Company; however, she wanted to have approval from the Board in case she needs to move
forward with entering onto the properties, since complaints about the properties are being received. In
response to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Booton stated efforts to work out a plan of action with the
property owners have been occurring since the month of May. Responding to Chair Rademacher,
Ms. Booton stated there is one (1) mowing contractor which the County utilizes, and the contractor has
multiple machines and several employees. Commissioner Long moved to approve entry upon said
lands by a Weld County Vegetation Management Specialist. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer,
the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER AUTHORIZATION OF SALE OF WELD COUNTY PROPERTY AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHT-
TO-SELL LISTING CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN - SEARS REAL ESTATE:
Mr. Barker stated Stephanie Arries, Assistant County Attorney, sent an e-mail yesterday to the Board
about this matter. He stated the property was obtained by the County through a judicial action against
the property owner, and the lot will be listed for $20,000.00. He stated the County has had listing
contracts for other properties in the past, and each time the County has listed a property in Hill-N-Park,
it has been successfully sold. In response to Commissioner Conway, Mr. Barker stated the County has
received the listing price for the properties it has sold and once the County received more than the
listing price. Commissioner Conway moved to authorize the sale of said Weld County property,
approve said contract, and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion
carried unanimously.
CONSIDER GEOSPATIAL INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO
SIGN: Dan Huerter, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), stated there are approximately six (6)
active agreements with the State for GIS data, and this agreement will replace all the existing
agreements. He clarified this agreement will allow any State agency to be able to gain access to Weld
Minutes, July 21, 2010 2010-1609
Page 3 BC0016
County GIS data without a separate agreement; the State agencies will gain access through the State
Office of Information Technology. In response to Chair Rademacher, Mr. Huerter confirmed this is the
first time the County has entered into this particular agreement with the State, and he indicated he does
not have any concerns about it. Further responding to Chair Rademacher, Mr. Huerter stated this
agreement will make the process easier for both parties, since he will provide data to just one (1) State
agency, and then the State Office of Information Technology will be responsible for providing the
information to the other State agencies which require it. In response to Commissioner Conway,
Mr. Huerter confirmed the benefit to Weld County is less staff time will be utilized. In response to Chair
Rademacher, Mr. Barker stated he has reviewed the agreement and concurs with Mr. Huerter; in the
past there were agreements with every State agency which requested the information and it required a
great deal of staff time. He recommended approval of the agreement. In response to Ms. Mika,
Mr. Huerter stated the County has never charged the State or municipalities for GIS data. In response
to Chair Rademacher, Mr. Huerter confirmed staff charges for hard copies to recover its costs.
Responding to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Huerter confirmed Weld County will be also be able to
access the State's GIS data, as a result of this agreement. Ms. Mika inquired as to whether the State
can share this information with the Census. Mr. Huerter stated the Census prefers to work with the
most local levels of government possible. Responding to Commissioner Conway, Mr. Huerter stated
the County previously had reciprocal agreements with the State which were at no cost to either party;
however, the County seldom requests GIS data from the State. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to
approve said agreement and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Conway, the
motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER GRANT AGREEMENT TO REHABILITATE PORTION OF GREELEY-WELD COUNTY
AIRPORT TAXILANES AND APRON AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Mike Reisman,
Greeley-Weld County Airport, stated this is the second half of the annual Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) grant funding, and the Board accepted the first half of the grant funding several
months ago. He stated the Airport has completed the bid process for the rehabilitation project, and
these grant funds will allow it to finalize the payment for the design and engineering plans and to
commence construction. In response to Chair Rademacher, Mr. Reisman confirmed the grant amount
is $75,000.00, and the County's matching fund commitment is $937.00. Further responding to Chair
Rademacher, Mr. Reisman stated the City of Greeley will also provide matching funding in the amount
of $937.00. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Reisman stated the Airport Board approved
the first half of the grant and it will also need to ratify this portion of the grant, and the Greeley City
Council will approve the grant at its meeting on August 4, 2010. He stated the City of Greeley and
Weld County are co-sponsors of all the Airport's Federal grants and both entities need to approve the
agreements. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Reisman confirmed both the City of Greeley
and Weld County are signatories for the agreement. Responding to Commissioner Kirkmeyer,
Mr. Barker stated he will review the agreement. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated there is a condition in
the agreement which indicates liabilities will be pursued in court and she wants to ensure it is consistent
with other County agreements. Mr. Reisman stated there is nothing in the agreement which is different
from previous years. In response to Commissioner Conway, Mr. Reisman stated the Board has
approved approximately 14 or 15 of these agreements over the past ten (10) years, and there are no
new terms or conditions. Chair Rademacher stated it would be appropriate to approve the agreement
contingent upon the County Attorney reviewing and approving it. Commissioner Conway moved to
approve said agreement and authorize the Chair to sign, conditional upon the County Attorney
reviewing the agreement and deeming it to be acceptable. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the
motion carried unanimously.
