ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous Provisions
Sec. 8-6-180. Memorial signs.
The memorial sign must be requested by the victim's family or other sponsor with the
consent of the victim's family, utilizing the form set forth in Appendix 8-L. Upon submittal of a
Roadside Memorial Sign Application with fee to the Weld County Public Works Department,
Weld County shall review application for acceptance. If accepted, the Public Works Department
shall provide, install, and maintain a requested roadside memorial sign for four years after the
date of installation. After the four years, the sign shall be returned to the applicant at the address
shown on the application. If the application is not accepted by Weld County, the fee shall be
returned to the applicant. No private installation or maintenance is allowed. The memorial sign
shall consist of two signs and shall appear like those set forth in Appendix 8-M.
Memorial signs shall only be installed by Weld County on County maintained rights-of-
way. The Public Works Department shall install the sign as close as possible to the location
given in the application. If that location conflicts with existing signs or creates an unsafe
condition,the sign will be moved to where it can be installed safely. If the roadway is annexed by
a local municipality after installation, the applicant will be required to receive permission from
that municipality for the sign to remain; otherwise, Weld County will remove the sign if
requested by the annexing agency and return it to the applicant.
The applicant shall submit a fee as determined by the Board of Weld County
Commissioners to help cover the sign's cost, installation, maintenance, and removal by Weld
County. In a multiple fatality crash, the fee should be split equally between those families who
want their family members name on the sign. Once removed, each separate family shall receive a
sign to keep.
This section is considered to be Weld County's permitting system for roadside memorial
signs and is in lieu of the procedural requirements of Section 43-2-149, C.R.S.
