CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Judy Griego, Director,

conducted on May 27, 2009, and it allows the implementation of the Colorado Works and Child Care
Programs for a term commencing July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. Commissioner Conway moved
to approve said Memorandum of Understanding and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by
Commissioner Rademacher, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER TWO APPLICATIONS FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND
REINVESTMENT ACT (ARRA) FUNDING FOR HEAD START AND EARLY HEAD START PROGRAMS
AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Ms. Griego stated the applications were reviewed at work sessions
conducted on June 30, 2009, and July 1, 2009. Ms. Griego stated the Department is requesting to create
and operate an Early Head Start Program for infants, toddlers, and pregnant women; and the Program will
be year-round and operate full days. She stated the total funding requested is in the amount of
$2,207,139.00. In response to Chair Garcia, Ms. Griego stated the applications are for the Regional and
Migrant/Seasonal Head Start Programs. Commissioner Kirkmeyer indicated she recalled discussing this
matter in a work session and there will be contract provisions indicating to the providers they must be
willing to continue to participate in the Program for three years after the initial two years of start-up funding
provided by the County, and the Board will not accept the funds if the providers are not willing to agree to
this. Ms. Griego stated staff is in the process of notifying the providers of the requirement and before the
agreements are brought before the Board for approval, a work session will be conducted for the Board to
review the agreements with the providers. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she is in support of the
application; however, her approval of the funds will be conditional on the providers agreeing to the
additional three years. Commissioner Conway concurred with Commissioner Kirkmeyer, and stated due
to the deadline, the application process needs to move forward; however, he will have the same condition
of approval as Commissioner Kirkmeyer. Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve said applications
and authorize Chair to sign. Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion. Chair Garcia stated this
Program is a large expansion of the Head Start Program and he is not comfortable with it; however, he is
looking forward to hearing more about the Program in the future. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she is
also hesitant regarding the Program and this is the reason the three year commitment is being required
from the providers. Commissioner Rademacher concurred with Commissioner Kirkmeyer. Commissioner
Conway indicated he shares Chair Garcia's concerns regarding the Program, and the fact that he is voting
in favor of submitting the application does not assure he will vote in favor of the grant agreements. Upon
the request for a roll call vote, the motion passed three to one, with Chair Garcia being in opposition.
CONSIDER SEVEN BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM DISASTER REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH
VARIOUS PUBLIC ENTITIES AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Ms. Griego stated numerous work

District, the Town of Windsor, the Windsor -Severance Fire Protection District, the City of Evans, and the

funding. She stated the agreement is for a period commencing June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said agreement and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded
by Commissioner Rademacher, the motion carried unanimously.

a work session conducted on June 22, 2009. She stated the first agreement is with the Kathleen Painter
Littler Center for a period commencing June 1, 2009, through July 31, 2009, and it is for a therapeutic
summer day camp, which will cost a maximum of $10,000.00 and will be paid from Child Welfare funding.
She stated North Range Behavioral Health has indicated it will remain capable of providing the service
even though the Kathleen Painter Littler Center will be closed down in the near future. Ms. Griego stated
the next agreement is with IDEA Form, Inc., which is a bilingual provider located in south Weld County,
and it is for the provision of anger management and domestic violence services, in an amount not to
exceed $20,000.00, which will be paid from Child Welfare funds. She stated the term will commence
June 15, 2009, through May 31, 2010. She stated the third agreement is with the Denver Children's Home
to provide day treatment for a specific child, for a term commencing June 15, 2009, through May 31, 2010.
She stated the amount will not exceed $50,000.00 and it will be paid from Core Services funding. Chair
Garcia congratulated Ms. Griego on selecting a provider who is bilingual and is located in south Weld
County, since it has been difficult locating providers who meet both of those needs. In response to
Commissioner Conway, Ms. Griego clarified the providers will be reimbursed only after providing the
services. Commissioner Conway moved to approve said agreements and authorize the Chair to sign.
Seconded by Commissioner Rademacher, the motion carried unanimously.

services when she presented the list of providers and the corresponding information; however, this
agreement was not provided to the Clerk to the Board's office and Susan Talmadge, Department of Human
Services, provided a replacement memorandum prior to the meeting, which removed the agreement from
the list to be considered; therefore, the agreement will be considered at which time it is submitted to the
Clerk to the Board's office.)
CONSIDER APPLICATION FOR JUVENILE ACCOUNTABILITY BLOCK GRANT AND AUTHORIZE
CHAIR TO SIGN: Ms. Mika stated Ken Poncelow, Sheriff's Office, conducted a work session with the
Board regarding the application approximately one month ago, and it is to provide ongoing juvenile
services. Commissioner Conway indicated he remembers the application is regarding overcrowding in the
juvenile system. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she does not recall attending a work session regarding
the application. Ms. Mika stated the grant has multiple parts spanning over several years, there is a female
component, and there is a juvenile component. In response to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Mika stated
it will not create a problem if the Board continues the matter. Commissioner Conway moved to continue
the application to July 13, 2009. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER LONG-TERM ROAD MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENTS AGREEMENT AND
AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN - VESTAS BLADES AMERICA, INC.: Bruce Barker, County Attorney,
stated this is one of two agreements the County will enter into with Vestas Blades America, Inc., and this
one addresses roads, haul routes, and dust control. Mr. Barker stated the company will pay for dust
abatement measures or a proportional share for a Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) improvement to the
road. He stated the RAP option may save the company money in the long run, since it only needs to occur
once, as opposed to applying chemicals every six months over an extended period of time, and the second
agreement will be forthcoming. In response to Commissioner Conway, Mr. Barker stated the roads
addressed in the agreement have not been annexed by the City of Brighton.
Don Dunker, Department of Public Works, stated the magnesium chloride must be applied a minimum of
twice per year; however, the Motor Grader Division supervisor may determine additional applications are
necessary. Commissioner Rademacher inquired if the roads the County is proposing RAP for will be used
for haul routes and heavy equipment. Mr. Dunker stated these roads will not be used for haul routes; they
will be for the use of the employees. Mr. Dunker stated the roads being proposed for RAP are County
Road 29, between County Roads 8 and 6, and County Road 31, between County Roads 6 and 4.
Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve said agreement and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded
by Commissioner Conway, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER DECLARING CERTAIN EQUIPMENT AS SURPLUS PROPERTY AND APPROVE SALE OF
SAME AT AUCTION WITH ROLLER AND ASSOCIATES: Barb Connolly, Controller, stated these pieces
of heavy equipment have already been replaced; and there is an auction occurring on July 15, 2009;
therefore, staff will send the old pieces of equipment to be auctioned at that time. Ms. Connolly stated the
equipment to be auctioned consists of a double drum steel wheel roller, a loader caterpillar, roller disks,
and a generator. In response to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Connolly stated typically the County earns
between $200,000.00 and $300,000.00 annually from auctioning off equipment which is no longer
Minutes, July 6, 2009 2009-1558
Page 5 BC0016
necessary, depending on the type, amount, and age of the equipment. Commissioner Rademacher moved
to declare certain equipment as surplus property and approve sale of same with Roller and Associates.
Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER APPOINTMENT TO JUVENILE COMMUNITY REVIEW BOARD: Commissioner Rademacher
moved to appoint Jennifer Hill to the Juvenile Community Review Board. Seconded by Commissioner
Conway, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER APPOINTMENT TO WELD FAITH PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL: Commissioner Conway moved

the motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING:
CONSIDER PARTIAL CANCELLATION AND RELEASE OF COLLATERAL FOR FINAL PLAN, MF#1053-
MARY CARLSON REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST AND GEORGE CARLSON REVOCABLE LIVING
TRUST: Kim Ogle, Department of Planning Services, stated the Departments of Public Works and
Planning Services conducted field inspections to determine if the improvements have been completed, and
the Department of Public Works recommends a partial release of the collateral, in the amount of
$110,316.75. He stated it is recommended the remaining $27,414.00, be retained for the warranty period
for the pavement and transportation related items.
Don Carroll, Department of Public Works, stated the site is located north of State Highway 14 and near
County Road 17. Mr. Carroll concurred with the recommendation to retain the $27,414.00. In response
to Chair Garcia, Mr. Barker explained when an individual provides a personal check for collateral, the
money is held in a special account. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. Connolly stated the
interest is only paid if the individual requests it; otherwise, only the collateral amount is refunded, and the
interest is generated and paid from the County's general fund; not the trust fund. In response to
Commissioner Conway, Ms. Connolly stated the interest is paid at the Federal rate, which is presently
approximately .5 percent. Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve said partial cancellation and
release of collateral for Final Plan, MF #1053. Seconded by Commissioner Conway, the motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER RECORDED EXEMPTION #4924 - GREG AND PATTY REEVES: Chris Gathman,
Department of Planning Services, stated both this and the following Recorded Exemption are related to
the same issue. Mr. Gathman stated Greg and Patty Reeves are proposing a two -lot recorded exemption,
and the reason the Board must consider it is because of the proposed size of Lot A, which is approximately
1/10 of an acre in size. He stated proposed Lot A will be used for an equipment facility, for the Nunn
Telephone Company, for the purpose of upgrading telephone and internet services. He explained typically
a proposed lot must be 2.5 acres in size when the property utilizes public water and septic services.
Mr. Gathman stated the staff recommendations indicate Lot A is to be used as an unmanned equipment
site and it will not be a buildable lot for residential purposes. He stated there is also a note on the plat from
the Department of Public Works, which indicates if proposed Lot B becomes a home site and access is
proposed off of County Road 15, a non-exclusive license agreement for the upgrade and maintenance of
Weld County right-of-way shall be required; however, currently the parcel is a vacant piece of land. He
stated the property is located east of and adjacent to County Road 15 and north of County Road 104.
Chair Garcia inquired as to why a recorded exemption is necessary if proposed Lot A is intended to be
used for an unmanned building. Mr. Gathman stated typically these types of situations are processed as
a subdivision exemption on a lease basis; however, Nunn Telephone wants to own the site and purchase
the lot.
Minutes, July 6, 2009 2009-1558
Page 6 BC0016
Mr. Gathman stated the location of the next proposed Recorded Exemption, proposed by Harold and
Susan Skerjanec, is east of County Road 17 and south of County Road 126. He stated there is an existing
single family residence on Lot B, and there is a staff note indicating proposed Lot A will not be a buildable
lot that may be used for residential purposes.
Mr. Carroll reiterated if proposed Lot B on the Reeves' property becomes a home site, the Department
must be notified so a non-exclusive license agreement may be drafted for County Road 15. He stated it
is important to adhere to the setback requirements for the rights -of -way and future rights -of -way to prevent
any future problems if the road needs to be widened. Commissioner Conway inquired as to the current
traffic count on County Road 15. Mr. Carroll stated there has not been a traffic count performed for County
Road 15, since it is not a maintained road; it is more of a prairie trail than a road at this time. Responding
to Commissioner Conway, Mr. Carroll stated if Lot B becomes a home site, the Reeves will be responsible
for providing an all-weather surface from County Road 104 to the home site. In response to Commissioner
Rademacher, Mr. Carroll stated the current right-of-way for County Road 15 is 60 feet and no additional
right-of-way is being reserved for this site; however, the Skerjanecs' property is located on County
Road 126, which has been classified as a collector road; therefore, an additional 10 feet of right-of-way
is being reserved for the site on County Road 126.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer inquired if staff from the Nunn Telephone Company will be visiting the site and
if access will be provided to the building. She stated she is concerned regarding access issues and not
fully considering the traveling public since both of these sites are located on corners of County roads.
Greg Grablander, Nunn Telephone Company, stated the Company will be approaching the Department
of Planning Services to indicate the exact location the building will be placed on the lot, the building will be
approximately 8 by 10 feet in size, and the piece of land will be approximately 20 by 20 feet in size,
including the necessary right-of-way and setbacks. Mr. Grablander stated the Company will be submitting
a request to install a culvert and gravel access; however, it will not interfere with visibility at the intersection.
He indicated he does not anticipate the Company using the building for any purposes other than
cross -connecting the fibers for new customer connections, which will occur approximately once per day.
In response to Commissioner Rademacher, Mr. Grablander stated there will probably be a fence installed
around the building once the exact location of the Lot is determined; however, there will not be any visible
towers; the connection will be underground. He stated the only hesitation he has regarding the fence is
he is concerned tumble weeds may collect along the fence; therefore, the Company will have to carefully
maintain the fence to avoid creating a fire hazard. He stated there is a building that is very similar to the
one being proposed near the Town of Pierce and there have not been any problems with it.
Commissioner Rademacher stated he is concerned about the proposed Lot being close to the corner and
he inquired as to what the Weld County Code states regarding the distance requirements. Mr. Carroll
stated the Code usually indicates there must be 75 feet in both directions.
In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Carroll stated the Company needs to apply for an access
permit. Commissioner Kirkmeyer inquired if the requirement to obtain the access permit is listed in the
development standards. She also inquired as to what happens if a culvert larger than 15 inches wide is
required because a culvert was installed near her residence which needed to be much larger than it was
to be able to effectively handle the drainage. Mr. Carroll stated staff will address the culvert and visibility
issues through the access permit process. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she does not see where in
the documentation the applicant is required to obtain an access permit. Mr. Carroll stated he does not see
it in the documentation either; however, the referral is addressed and the access permit will be addressed
in the recorded exemption process. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Carroll clarified in the
referral, it requires the applicant to obtain an access permit. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she is
Minutes, July 6, 2009 2009-1558
Page 7 BC0016
satisfied with that; however, in the future she would like the documentation to clearly state the access
permit is required. Mr. Carroll stated staff should be able to accommodate the request.
Mr. Grablander invited the Board to visit the site; and stated the proposed site represents a long-term
commitment and it will still be in use fifty years from now. In response to Commissioner Rademacher,
Mr. Grablander stated the Company should not require a larger building as it expands in the future
because the electronics used are very small and only require inches of space. Mr. Grablander stated the
building will initially serve approximately 300 subscribers; however, it is able to serve approximately eight
times that amount.
In response to Commissioner Rademacher, Mr. Grablander indicated the building will have security via an
alarm center and if the correct security code is not entered when the alarm is triggered, the Weld County
Sheriff's Office will respond.
There was no public testimony.
Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve Recorded Exemption #4924. Seconded by Commissioner
Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER RECORDED EXEMPTION #4925 - HAROLD AND SUSAN SKERJANEC: Based on previous
discussion, Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve Recorded Exemption #4924. Seconded by
Commissioner Conway, the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
Consent Agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at 10:00 a.m.
