Mr. Glenn K. Billings, Chairman
Board of County Commissioners
Weld County Centennial Center
Greeley, Colorado 80631
Dear Mr. Billings:
I have your inquiry asking my opinion on the following question:
"Must Weld County adopt the procedures called for in Section 3-8 (4) (n)
of the Weld County Home Rule Charter in order to sit and hear cases as
the Board of Equalization for Weld County?"
The answer is "NO".
1973 Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended, 39-8-101 et seq
specifically designates the Board of County Commissioners to sit as the
Board of Equalization and further, designates all procedures that appelants
must follow in order to be heard by the Board of Equalization.
Accordingly, it is the opinion of this office that the statutory
provisions of the State of Colorado prevail and provide for all procedures
for the Board of Equalization. The Weld County Home Rule Charter
Section 3-8 (4) (n) et seq deals specifically with the Board of County
Commissioners sitting as a Board of Appeals to hear complaints on
actions taken by County Boards, Commissions and Departments; and
therefore, does not apply to the Board of Equalization.
I trust that I have satisfactorily answered your inquiry.
Resp tfully submitted
