Subject: RE: Letter of Concern
Morning Tonya, please let me explain my role and the role of the county commissioners. The Sheriff's Office
is an Office and not a "department" which makes me an independently elected official. I am not a department
head therefore I do not work for the commissioners. I will not be following up with the commissioners
regarding the letter/notice you sent me; it is not their concern how I handled the situation with the town on
Nunn. I spoke to the representative from the town on Nunn who sent the letter and told them the same thing.
In the future you can forward me any letters you receive that has to do with the Sheriff's Office but please
do not send me the attached form because I will not respond to it. Thanks, if you have any questions please
feel free to contact me.

I forwarded this on to the Sheriff. I do not believe there was going to be any action taken. He will be back
in the office tomorrow and I am sending a copy of this request to him. Kim

Kim,
On July 9th we (CTB) sent your department a correspondence/letter of concern from Town of Nunn for your
recommendation. We haven't received anything back in our office from your office stating the action that
your department feels needs to be taken.

Can you please let me know where your department stands on this issue so that we can inform the BOCC and
update out records. If you need an additional copy please let me know and I will be more than happy to send
it again.
Thank you,

Weld County Commissioner
Attention: Dave Long
Dear Dave:
The Board of Trustees for the Town of Nunn would like some direction in regards to
coverage by the Weld County Sheriffs Department. Currently our Town is without our
own Police Department. Nunn residents are taxpayers for Weld County, so we assume
that we have coverage without an additional Town contract.
Since our residents are taxpayers of Weld County what coverage are they entitled to
without an additional contract? There have been several calls put into the Sheriffs
Department regarding police reports at this time the Sheriffs Department is referring all
calls to our Mayor.
The Town Clerk explained to Dispatch that our Mayor was not trained to handle these
complaints or reports. The Commander on shift stated these reports should be given to
the Weld County District Attorney at this time the District Attorney is not taking these
reports either and referred them back to the Mayor.
Our Mayor is not trained in obtaining these reports; it is our understanding that the
Sheriff Department is short staffed and under budget restrictions. The Town is looking
into alternative coverage through either the Ault Police Department, hiring our own
Officer, Town Marshall or possible contracting with Weld County for additional
coverage.
The Board of Trustees and the residents of the Town of Nunn would appreciate
knowing what coverage are we entitled to as residents of Weld County. vrci

Thank you for your time and consideration in regards to this matter. 21J:3 - A
Respectfully Submitted &
Board of Trustees
Town of Nunn
