CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO BYLAWS FOR WELD COUNTY REGIONAL COMMUNICATIONS
ADVISORY BOARD: Mr. Barker stated there are two changes requested in the proposed amendment.
He stated the first change proposed is to eliminate the District Attorney's position on the Weld County
Regional Communications Board,and the second change proposed is to add three positions for non-voting
members to represent Emergency Medical Services, excluding the Weld County Paramedic Services
Director. He stated the language regarding the addition of the three new members is on Page 5,
Section K, and the portion eliminating the District Attorney was removed from Page 2 or Page 3. He stated
the Weld County Regional Communications Advisory Board voted in favor of the proposed changes
yesterday. Chair Jerke stated the District Attorney's representative expressed he did not have any input
to contribute to this Board,since the District Attorney's Office is not involved with communications matters;
therefore, Chair Jerke spoke to Ken Buck, District Attorney, regarding eliminating the position on the Board
and Mr. Buck was not opposed to doing so. He stated the additions came into consideration when three
private contractors who provide helicopter services came into the picture, and it was determined it would
be valuable to hear their input at meetings. Mr. Warden stated the initial reason a representative position
for the District Attorney's Office was added to the Weld County Regional Communications Board was to
follow State and Federal government regulations which require the majority of the Board's control must
be representatives of law enforcement agencies. Chair Jerke stated there was nobody in attendance who
was aware of this background information and he is in favor of continuing the proposed changes until the
current government requirements may be confirmed. Mr. Warden stated he will investigate the matter.
Commissioner Masden moved to continue the amendment for one week, until April 2,2008. Commissioner
Garcia seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
PLANNING:
CONSIDER PARTIAL CANCELLATION AND RELEASE OF COLLATERAL FOR USR#1584-GERRARD
EXCAVATING, INC.: Rich Hastings, Department of Public Works, stated this is a request for the partial
release of collateral for offsite paving improvements. Mr. Hastings stated the inspection crew has
approved the work performed and the bond has been reviewed; therefore, staff is in support of releasing
collateral in the amount of $197,798.33, and retaining the remaining balance of $29,669.75, for the
duration of the warranty phase. Commissioner Long moved to approve said partial cancellation and
release of collateral, and accept replacement collateral from Gerrard Excavating, Inc., in the amount of
$29,669.75. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Masden , and it carried unanimously.
