Proxy Vote for Declaration of Disaster Emergency
I was not available to attend a Board of County Commissioners meeting Thursday, May 22,
2008, because I was in Windsor immediately after the tornado. The purpose of that special
meeting was to declare a state of disaster emergency in Weld County. I was, however, given the
opportunity immediately prior to the meeting to voice my vote. I voted yes to declare a state of
disaster emergency.
