NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDER APPLICATION FOR STATE TOBACCO EDUCATION AND PREVENTION PARTNERSHIP
GRANT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Dr. Mark Wallace, M.D., Director, Department of Public
Health and Environment,stated the application has been reviewed at previous work sessions. Dr.Wallace
stated the application is for a term from July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009, and for an amount of
$235,484.24. He stated the funding will allow the Tobacco Education Program to continue it's education
and prevention activities. He stated the goals of the Program will continue to be directed at prevention and
tobacco cessation. In response to Commissioner Masden, Dr. Wallace stated the age groups listed on
Page 3 are determined by the programs available, for example, 30 percent of the Programs are directed
at young adults, ages 18-25. He explained the Department is interested in determining in which age group
tobacco use is initiated. In response to Chair Jerke, Monica Mika, Director of Administration, stated 30
percent of tobacco users use smokeless tobacco, and initially there was an entire objective addressing
smokeless tobacco; however, it has been modified to address smokeless tobacco users as a special
population. In response to Chair Jerke, Ms. Mika clarified it is still the case that 30 percent of tobacco
users are users of smokeless tobacco, and smokeless tobacco users are the second to last special
population identified. In response to Commissioner Masden, Ms. Morrison stated the activity table listed
under number 1.F identifies evaluation techniques, and Photovoice is used to take pictures and record
interviews. Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve said application and authorize the Chair to
sign. Commissioner Garcia seconded the motion. Commissioner Masden stated he would like a work
session to take place, since he is uncomfortable trying to read through all of the staff revisions at this time.
In response to Chair Jerke, Ms. Morrison stated the application has to be in Denver before 2:00 p.m. on
January 23, 2008. Chair Jerke stated he would prefer to look more closely at the application; however,
it will likely not alleviate his concerns since he believes there are some fundamental issues with this type
of grant funding. Commissioner Rademacher stated he reviewed the revisions last Friday and he feels
the appropriate changes were made,as requested by the Board. Commissioner Garcia stated he also had
an opportunity to review the grant application on Friday, and he thanked staff for their efforts on the matter.
Chair Long stated all of the items of contention have been removed or modified to his satisfaction. Upon
a roll call vote, the motion passed four to one, with Chair Jerke in opposition.
CONSIDER INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR PROVISION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
SERVICES IN NON-URBANIZED AREAS AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Mr. Warden stated staff
has been working with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for four to five months
regarding rectifying CDOT's concerns. He stated the grant will be in amount of $135,273.00, and the
County share will be $101,917.00, which is within the amount budgeted for this purpose by the County.
He stated the main difference between this agreement and prior ones for this matter is the services to be
provided by the County are clearly listed in this agreement and a chart has been provided regarding public
transportation services for non-urbanized areas. Mr. Warden stated County staff recently met with
representatives of CDOT and reached satisfactory terms. In response to Commissioner Masden,
Mr. Warden stated there are approximately 56,000 one-way passengers trips; however, only 12,000 trips
meet the criteria of the agreement. In response to Chair Jerke, Mr. Warden stated the agreement commits
the County to providing service; however, there is flexibility, and the County may contract other entities to

Rademacher, the motion carried unanimously.

TYLER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - EAGLE DIVISION: Mr. Warden stated this computer system is for the
Treasurer's Office, since the current system is fifteen years old and will only be maintained for one more
year. He stated the Assessor's Office has already purchased the system, and this agreement will allow
the Treasurer's Office to join the system. He further stated the agreement will be in an amount of
$287,034.00. Commissioner Garcia moved to approve said agreement and authorize the Chair to sign.
