NATIONAL CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS WEEK - APRIL 26 -MAY 2, 2009: Chair Garcia read the certificate
into the record, proclaiming April 26 -May 2, 2009, as National Crime Victims' Rights Week.
Representatives from various departments were in attendance to demonstrate their support for the
proclamation. Commissioner Conway thanked all of the attendees for being there and for all that each of
the departments has done to assist victims of crime. Chair Garcia stated at the time the Bill of Rights and
the Constitution were drafted, the founding fathers considered government excesses and protections for
those who are accused of committing crimes; however, protections for victims are not similarly listed in
those documents; therefore, the services provided by the various County departments to assist victims are
of high importance.
COMMISSIONER COORDINATOR REPORTS: Commissioner Conway stated the amendment for Senate
Bill 3, the Enhanced Emissions Bill, which is intended to confine the ability of the Enhanced Emissions
2009-0967
BC0016
Program to municipal areas made it out of committee yesterday. He stated it was a very close vote, and
he acknowledged the hard work of Glenn Vaad, House Representative and former County Commissioner,
who spoke eloquently on behalf of the amendment. He also expressed his appreciation to Buffy
McFadden, Committee Chairperson, who was receptive to the concerns being raised. Commissioner
Conway stated the Board remains fundamentally opposed to the Program in Weld County because it
believes Weld County is in compliance; however, the goal of the amendment is to lessen the burden of the
Program on Weld County citizens, since the legislation for the Program is moving ahead. He stated there
is a long fight ahead and the State Department of Health made it clear it will try to remove the amendment
from the Bill. Commissioner Kirkmeyer thanked Commissioner Conway for remaining at the meeting
throughout the entire evening to ensure the Board's position was expressed.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she was at the capital yesterday and she spoke to the lobbyist for the
District Attorney's Association and the Executive Director of the District Attorney's Council regarding
Senate Bill 286, which is regarding a change in sentencing. She stated the Bill is still alive; however, it will
be sent to the Criminal Justice Committee for study. She explained the Bill, if passed, will create the need
for another pod at the Weld County jail, due to more people being in jail as a result of the change in
sentencing. She stated Senate Bill 288 is regarding putting a cap on the number of beds at the
Department of Corrections and both Bills will likely be killed. In response to Commissioner Conway,
Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated the Governor took a clear position on Bill 286 and indicated the Bill needs
to be considered by the Criminal Justice Committee; however, she is unsure of his position on Bill 288.
BIDS:
PRESENT BID QBP #60900070, ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS ON CR 13
(CR 50 TO US HWY 34) - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS: Monica Mika, Director, Department of
Administrative Services, stated said bid will be presented for approval at a date not yet determined. She
stated the bid is a Quality Based Proposal bid and a work session will be conducted with the Board to
discuss it, and interviews have been conducted with the thirty-five vendors listed. She stated staff will
make a recommendation regarding which vendor to award the bid to at the work session. Don Warden,
Director of Finance and Administration, stated staff may recommend the bid not be awarded to a vendor
and that the project be completed by County staff.

Ms. Mika stated acceptance of the low bid from The Everclean Company is recommended to provide
window cleaning services for all of the buildings in the City of Greeley area. In response to Commissioner
Conway, Ms. Mika stated The Everclean Company is located in the City of Loveland. Commissioner
Rademacher inquired if separate vendors provide window cleaning services for the Southeast and
Southwest Weld County buildings. Ms. Mika stated this is the first time in a long time that the County has
contracted with a company to clean its windows; previously it was performed by County staff and Useful
Public Assistance; therefore, based on this information, she assumes the Southeast and Southwest Weld
County Offices do not employ a vendor to perform the service. Toby Taylor, Department of Buildings and
Grounds, concurred with Ms. Mika. In response to Commissioner Rademacher, Ms. Mika stated the cost
will be $10,782.00 and the next lowest bid is $13,820.00. Commissioner Rademacher moved to accept
