of its desire to so terminate on or prior to July 1, 2010." Chair Jerke stated the Board conducted a work
session on this matter. He stated the County does not need the building space and may not for many
years; however, it is helpful to ensure the tenant will be provided warning if the lease will not be renewed.

he moved to approve said lease and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner
Rademacher, the motion carried unanimously.

She stated the total amount of the contract is $68,230.00, and the term is for a period from

Minutes, December 31, 2008 2008-3435
Page 3 BC0016
CONSIDER ACCEPTANCE OF WELD COUNTY ROAD 24 CORRIDOR STUDY: Wayne Howard,
Department of Public Works, stated he presented the study and the recommended alignment,
Alternative 3a, on December 15, 2008, and staff is requesting adoption of the study by Resolution today.
In response to Commissioner Garcia, Mr. Howard stated the anticipated costs for each of the alternative
routes were listed in the appendix; however, there were only six alternative routes being considered at the
point the information was included. Mr. Howard stated the cost of Alternative 3a is approximately
12.5 million, and all of alternative routes'projected costs are comparable with one another, they are within
approximately one million dollars of one another. He stated Alternative 2 has the lowest projected cost to
build, which is $10,877,000.00.
Robert Temmer, Weld County resident, stated Alternative 3a will greatly impact his property since it will
travel along the west side of the property, across a corner of the property, and along the south side of the
property. Mr. Temmer stated he provided testimony on December 15, 2008, and he submitted written
comments. He stated he objects to Alternative 3a because it will create another intersection on
US Highway 85, which will contribute to more dangerous conditions and safety hazards. He stated one
of the reasons the first recommended alternative route was rejected is because the route travels through
wetlands; however, Alternative 3a also travels through wetlands and is in the flood plain. Mr. Temmer
stated the reason Alternative 3a was not originally considered is because it was feared there may be
hazardous materials in the railroad right-of-way and a study has never been conducted to determine
whether or not hazardous materials are present. He stated all of the proposed alternative routes will be
costly; however, 3a is the most costly and it seems counter-intuitive to select the most expensive route.
He stated there was a bridge, which crossed the South Platte River at County Road 22.5, and it was
washed away by flood waters in the 1960s. He stated Weld County residents have been able to
successfully travel without the bridge for forty years; therefore, the bridge is not necessary. Mr. Temmer
stated if a bridge is built on County Road 22, it will travel through an undeveloped wildlife habitat area, and
the wildlife habitat all along the South Platte River is diminishing. He stated he observed a raccoon which
had been killed by traffic along the road this morning on US Highway 85 and, if another bridge is built
across the South Platte River, there will be many more animals killed by vehicles. Mr. Temmer stated the
only person who testified in favor of Alternative 3a at the public input hearing was Kenneth Miller; however,
Mr. Miller expressed he would prefer no road be built at all. He stated there are existing routes to cross
the South Platte River and it is acceptable to have to travel an indirect route to reach one's destination
when driving in the country, and it does not seem to be wise to invest 12.5 million into building a new road
during difficult economic times. Mr. Temmer stated if the route is approved, it will immediately adversely
affect the surrounding property values; however, no payment will be made until the property is purchased.
He stated typically a study will investigate the results of taking no action, which was not considered in this
study, and he believes the best option is to not select any of the proposed routes. He expressed his
appreciation for having the opportunity to provide input at the public hearings and thanked Mr. Howard for
meeting with him at his home.
Robert Nash, Weld County resident, stated approximately eight acres of his land and two acres of his
ponds will be within 30 feet of the edge of the road if Alternative 3a is selected. Mr. Nash stated he bought
the property to retire there and he did not expect to have to deal with the noise and pollution of a highway.
He stated he does not understand why the County cannot build the straight alignment, and it seems it
would impact less property. He further stated he has retained an attorney to fight against Alternative 3a,
and he may not be able to sell the property now since he must disclose the proposed highway plans to
potential buyers. Mr. Nash stated it seems the lives of the people in opposition to Alternative 3a are being
minimized, and he has not received a clear answer about when construction will occur, or if retainment
walls be built to help minimize noise from the highway.
Linda Miller-Crain, Weld County resident, stated her brother spoke in favor of Alternative 3a at the public
hearing on December 15, 2008; however, he is unable to attend today's meeting. Ms. Miller-Crain stated
Minutes, December 31, 2008 2008-3435
Page 4 BC0016
she is in favor of Alternative 3a. She stated nobody likes the disruption caused by new roads; however,
development cannot be stopped in Weld County and it is the duty of the Board to plan for the future. She
stated it has been a stressful process; however, she appreciates the thoughtfulness and thoroughness of
the proposal. She stated Alternative 3a cuts across a portion of her family's property; however, it will allow
her family to continue to farm on the property without serious disruption. Ms. Miller-Crain stated her family
has farmed at the current location for over fifty years and they have farmed in Weld County since 1860;
therefore, she knows agriculture is an important part of Weld County and she appreciates that the Board
knows it as well. She stated a potential benefit of Alternative 3a is that the local planners will not have to
reserve as much space for green areas as development progresses in the area, since her family's farm
will provide 480 acres of green area. She requested that the Board members vote for Alternative 3a if they
determine the road is necessary.
Mark Pelzel, Weld County resident, stated he is against the adoption of the study based on the lack of
need for the road, the lack of benefits, the lack of community support, the cost of construction, and the
impact to the environment. Mr. Pelzel stated he owns and operates a horse business on his property and
he bought his home with the intent of one day retiring there with his wife. He stated he is considering
purchasing additional acreage; however, he will not purchase the adjoining land if the proposed highway
plans are adopted and he will consider moving his home and business to another location. He stated he
counted only 25 vehicles pass by on County Road 23 this morning while feeding his horses, and 18 of the
vehicles were commercial trucks. Mr. Pelzel stated there are bald eagles and a snowy white owl, among
other wildlife, in the area which will be negatively affected by the proposed roadway. He reiterated he does
not see the need for the proposed road and stated he is able to successfully travel where he needs to,
including driving his children to school in the City of Longmont, commuting to the Denver Tech Center, and
traveling to his hay supplier in the Town of Platteville. He stated County Road 23 is a low priority when
requiring snow removal; therefore, it does not make sense to add additional through traffic to the area.
Mr. Pelzel stated many of his neighbors are more directly affected by the proposed road than he is. In
response to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Pelzel stated his property is located on the west side of County
Road 23 and south of County Road 24.
Gregory Light, Weld County resident, stated he owns part of the railroad right-of-way and between one
and three acres of his 24-acre property will be affected by Alternative 3a. Mr. Light stated he appreciates
the surrounding wildlife and the quietness of the area, which will both be affected by the construction of
Alternative 3a, and he will lose a portion of his alfalfa crops if Alternative 3a is selected. He submitted an
updated petition, marked Exhibit K, into the record. Mr. Light stated there are a handful of neighbors who
support the proposal; however, the majority do not and he has collected 52 signatures against the
construction of Alternative 3a. He stated Mr. Howard has not sufficiently proved the road is needed,
construction will be costly, and many people do not want the road. He requested that the Board choose
to not select any of the road options being considered.
In response to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Howard stated there is no time frame for construction presently,
and it is not in the five year plan nor is it anticipated to begin anytime in the next ten years. Further
responding to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Howard stated there will be some upcoming projects as a result
of the adoption of the study for the main purpose of preserving right-of-way.
Chair Jerke stated the County needs to prevent gravel pits from being built directly across right-of-way for
proposed roads. He stated the government is continually chastised for not planning ahead; however, the
County government is making the effort to plan ahead and consider future needs by adopting this study.
He reiterated construction is not anticipated to begin within the next ten years; however, by planning in
advance, the people who may be affected by the roadway, either negatively or positively, are given time
to plan for their futures accordingly. He stated Alternative 3a creates the least issues for the fewest
number of people and it provides the smoothest route of transportation.
Minutes, December 31, 2008 2008-3435
Page 5 BC0016
Commissioner Rademacher thanked the members of the public for their testimony. He stated decisions
which impact others lives are difficult to make, and new road construction impacts peoples lives. He
further stated he does not believe our forefathers ever imagined 250,000 people living in Weld County,
or the prospect of 500,000 living in Weld County in 20 years. Commissioner Rademacher stated explosive
growth has taken place in southwest Weld County and the growth is beginning to shift south and
southeast, along the 1-76 and US Highway 85 Corridors, and north of the Town of Hudson 10,000 homes
are being constructed; therefore, he believes Alternative 3a will be necessary. He reiterated it could be
several decades before the road is needed; however, it is foolish to delay preserving the necessary
right-of-way. He stated if the County were to delay, a thousand people may be affected by a proposed
roadway, rather than the few people who will be affected presently. Commissioner Rademacher stated
he did not foresee County Road 13 becoming a strategic road; however, he was impacted personally by
County Road 13 being widened; therefore, he understands the position of those who provided public
testimony in opposition of Alternative 3a; however, he believes Alternative 3a is the least intrusive route
and he is in favor of the proposal.
Commissioner Garcia stated the evaluators of the study assigned the economic evaluation criteria a weight
of 1.5, and when considering matters he tends be more concerned with the cost of a project than other
factors, and Alternatives 2 and 2a are the most cost effective; however, he is not in support of
Alternatives 2 and 2a due to the greater impacts to the wetlands and increased safety issues. He stated
one million dollars in savings is not worth the cost to the environment and people's safety.
Commissioner Long stated the Board cautiously considered this matter with due diligence. He reiterated
the study is not examining the current needs, it is anticipating growth. He stated the figures for the project
will change over time; however, new development will help to pay its own way and new opportunities will
be created with change. He further stated the road will not only benefit travelers, it may also benefit the
people who live near the developing road at the time it is constructed; therefore, he is in favor of
Alternative 3a.
Commissioner Rademacher moved to accept the Weld County Road 24 Corridor Study, as recommended
by staff. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Garcia. Upon the request for a roll call vote, the
motion passed four to one, with Commissioner Masden in opposition.
CONSIDER CANCELLATION OF 2008 OUTSTANDING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR WELD
COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT: Barbara Connolly, Controller,
stated these are accounts with the Department of Public Health and Environment with no payment activity
since July, 2008, and the total amount of the proposed write off is$25,496.90. In response to Chair Jerke,
Ms. Connolly stated the cancellation of the outstanding accounts does not make the individuals who owe
money on the accounts no longer accountable for their debts. Ms. Connolly stated the cancellation
removes the outstanding accounts from the accounting records; however, the individuals continue to owe
the money. In response to Commissioner Masden, Ms. Connolly stated the accounts are referred to a
collection agency. Commissioner Long stated most of the outstanding accounts are for amounts between
20 and 50 dollars. Commissioner Long moved to cancel the 2008 outstanding accounts receivable for the
Department of Public Health and Environment. Commissioner Rademacher seconded the motion, which
carried unanimously.
CONSIDER CANCELLATION OF 2008 OUTSTANDING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR WELD
COUNTY PARAMEDIC SERVICE: Ms. Connolly stated these are accounts with the Weld County
Paramedic Service with no payment activity in the past five months, and the debts have been turned over
to a collection service. She stated the total amount of the combined debts is$3,812,185.66. In response
to Commissioner Masden, Ms. Connolly stated the amount is similar to previous years. Commissioner
Masden stated he serves on the Board of Trustees for North Colorado Medical Center and the hospital
writes off much larger debts than this amount each year, and he moved to cancel the 2008 outstanding
Minutes, December 31, 2008 2008-3435

accounts receivable for the Weld County Paramedic Service. Commissioner Long seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.

CONSIDER AGREEMENT FOR DONATION OF REAL PROPERTY, ACCEPTANCE OF QUIT CLAIM
DEED, AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN - ROBERT STANLEY COMPANY: Mr. Barker stated Bud
Stanley is making the determination whether or not to donate the property, which is the current location
for Meals on Wheels, based on an appraisal received yesterday and Mr. Stanley advised Mr. Barker that
he would contact him after consulting with his accountant; however, he has not spoken with him. He
explained that he needs to check his voice mail to determine whether or not Mr. Stanley has attempted
contacting him during the morning and suggested continuing the matter until after the planning item of
business has been considered. Based on Chair Jerke's recommendation, Commissioner Rademacher
moved to continue the discussion of the matter until after completion of the land use hearings scheduled
for 10:00 a.m. Seconded by Commissioner Masden, the motion carried unanimously.
(Upon reconvening, following completion of the land use hearings, the Acting Clerk to the Board is now
Jennifer VanEgdom.)
Mr. Barker stated he still has not received a response from Mr. Stanley, therefore, he recommended
accepting the donation of the property, with the condition that it will only be accepted if the donation is
completed by 5:00 p.m., today. He reviewed the legal description of the property for the record, and
indicated if the property is donated, he will personally take the deed out to the Office of the Clerk and
Recorder, to be recorded today as well. Chair Jerke concurred with the approval of the donation to only
be valid for the date of December 31, 2008. In response to Chair Jerke, Mr. Barker clarified the proposed
building to be donated is not utilized in conjunction with the Meals on Wheels Program, rather it is currently
utilized for storage. He recommended the Resolution be modified to indicate the Board is only accepting
the donation of the property if the donation is made on December 31, 2008. Commissioner Masden moved
to approve said agreement for donation, accept said quit claim deed, and authorize the Chair to sign, with
