BIDS:
APPROVE CUSTODIAL SERVICES FOR DOWNTOWN BUILDINGS BID - DEPARTMENT OF
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS: Monica Mika, Director of the Department of Administration, stated staff
recommends approval of the third low bid from Porter Industries,which is the current provider. She stated
the bid shows totals if Weld County provides the product, as well as amounts if the contractor provides the
product. Upon review, staff believes it will be most cost effective to have the contractor provide the
product. She also noted the proposed bid is less than what is currently being paid, and she credited the
Department of Buildings and Grounds for rewriting the bid specifications and working with the vendors to
ensure they were aware of the specific service requirements. In response to Commissioner Rademacher,
Ms. Mika confirmed this bid is for the downtown buildings, and does not encompass the southwest or
southeast Weld County buildings. In response to Chair Jerke, Ms. Mika stated the County is currently
paying $16,218.00 per month, and the proposed bid, in the amount of$14,052.00, includes the product.
She further stated the low bid was deemed incomplete, as it failed to address all of the components, such
as safety records, number of employees, types of product, etcetera. Commissioner Rademacher moved
to approve the third low bid from Porter Industries, in the amount of $14,052.00. Seconded by
Commissioner Masden, the motion carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDER RESEARCH SUBAWARD AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN-COLORADO
STATE UNIVERSITY: Judy Griego, Director of Department of Social Services, stated under this
agreement Colorado State University(CSU)will provide the Department of Human Services with funding
to offset the cost of time spent in health care literacy training for staff and parents. She stated the training
will include health activities such as tooth brushing, hand washing, dental visits, healthy eating, and
exercise, and the Department will also provide non-confidential data to CSU regarding the number of
families and children participating in future training. In response to Chair Jerke, Ms. Griego stated CSU
will provide the curriculum which is to be tested on the County staff to see if health literacy increases within
the families receiving the training. She indicated there is a component which deals with the Department
of Public Health and Environment to ensure the families are getting appropriate dental health care and
building good habits. In response to Chair Jerke, Ms. Griego stated the funds are from the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to CSU to cover the Department's training costs. She
stated 22 parents will receive training, in addition to staff who will be trained to become trainers. She
further stated the overall amount of the award is $399,940.00, and CSU has received other funds which
are being delegated to other entities for similar activities. Commissioner Long moved to approve said
agreement, and the motion was seconded by Commissioner Rademacher. Upon a call for the vote, the
motion carried four to one, with Chair Jerke opposed.
CONSIDER CHILD PROTECTION AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN-
NORTH RANGE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH: Ms. Griego stated under this agreement North Front Range
Behavioral Health will provide monitored sobriety services; however, it does not include treatment. She
stated the Department will reimburse North Range a maximum of $25,000.00, for a term beginning
November 15, 2008, and ending May 31, 2009. She stated the source of funding is Child Welfare
Administration funds, these services will address court-ordered sobriety cases, and it does not fall under
the Core Services Program, since treatment will not be provided. Commissioner Rademacher moved to
approve said agreement and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion
carried unanimously.
CONSIDER PETITION FOR ABATEMENT OR REFUND OF TAXES - TERENCE AND CHEDELYN
RITZMAN: Chris Woodruff, Assessor, gave a brief description of the location of the property and stated
the petitioner submitted expense and income information in 2008, and the value was adjusted. He
explained the law allows successful claims to go back and adjust the first year of the cycle, which includes
2007. He stated the original value was $829,400.00, and the corrected value for 2008 was $675,000.00,
Minutes, November 24, 2008 2008-3095
Page 2 BC0016
resulting in a change of $154,400.00, for a total assessed value of $44,772.00. He further stated staff
recommends approval of the abatement of taxes in the amount of$3,383.32. Commissioner Garcia moved
to approve said petition, as recommended by staff. Seconded by Commissioner Masden, the motion
carried unanimously.
CONSIDER DECLARING CERTAIN EQUIPMENT AS SURPLUS PROPERTY AND AUTHORIZE
DONATION OF SAME TO UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN COLORADO: Monica Mika, Director of
Administrative Services, stated Matt Jorgenson, Crime Lab, has requested certain equipment be declared
surplus and donated to the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) Science Department. In response to
Chair Jerke, Ms. Monica stated Mr. Jorgenson indicated new equipment has been purchased, and the old
equipment has not been used for several years. Commissioner Long moved to declare said equipment
as surplus, and authorize the donation of same to UNC. Commissioner Masden seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.
SECOND READING OF WELD COUNTY CODE ORDINANCE #2008-17, IN THE MATTER OF
REPEALING AND REENACTING, WITH AMENDMENTS, CHAPTER 5 APPENDICES, OF THE WELD
COUNTY CODE: Commissioner Long moved to read said Ordinance by title only. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Masden, and it carried unanimously. Mr. Barker read said title for the record.
Monica Mika, Director of Administrative Services, stated since the first reading, staff is proposing an
additional amendment to Appendix 5-B to reincorporate the BLS Non-Emergency Transfer at a rate of
$700.00. She further stated additional revisions are also being proposed to the Land Use Application Fees
in Appendix 5-J to include wind generator fees, a change in the fee process for subdivisions, the inclusion
of a Temporary Seasonal Permit, in the amount of $75.00, and amending references to Mixed Use
Development to become Regional Urbanization Area for consistency with the proposed Comprehensive
Plan. In response to Chair Jerke, Brad Mueller, Department of Planning Services, stated the fees for the
Sketch Plan and Change of Zone phases were reversed based on feedback from area developers. He
stated staff agrees the higher rate should be assessed at the Change of Zone phase, which results in a
legal change in the status of the land, versus the short administrative sketch plan process that does not
impact the land. Responding further to Chair Jerke, Mr. Mueller stated the proposed change was not
advertised to gain public feedback, since the changes are being proposed in response to ongoing public
feedback received during the past few years. He concurred with Chair Jerke that the reversal in fees
evens out for small developments; however, the impact is realized when developers pay the application
fees for larger developments. In response to Commissioner Garcia, Mr. Mueller stated the wind generator
fee has been assessed administratively for some time, and staff felt it would be appropriate to have the
amount formalized in the Code. Responding to Commissioner Rademacher, Ms. Mika stated item #17 is
not a new fee, rather it is a language change to address the fee assessed on a cost recovery basis. No
public testimony was offered concerning this matter. Commissioner Masden moved to approve Code
Ordinance #2008-17 on second reading, with the proposed amendments. Commissioner Rademacher
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
PLANNING:
FINAL READING OF WELD COUNTY CODE ORDINANCE#2008-13, IN THE MATTER OF REPEALING
AND REENACTING, WITH AMENDMENTS, CHAPTER 22 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, OF THE WELD
COUNTY CODE:Commissioner Masden moved to read Ordinance#2008-13 by title only. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Garcia, and it carried unanimously. Mr. Barker read said title for the record.
Mr. Mueller stated the Comprehensive Plan provides a road map for future uses in Weld County, serves
as a foundation when considering compliance with other County Codes, provides a basis for a variety of
community programs, informs the public of certain areas which may be in need of further review and study,
and serves as a source of information. He stated the Comprehensive Plan is a policy document used to
guide future decision making, not a specific regulatory code. He also gave a brief overview of the process
leading up to the final reading of the Comprehensive Plan, which took approximately 1.5 years.
Minutes, November 24, 2008 2008-3095
Page 3 BC0016
Mr. Mueller referred to a Memorandum, marked Exhibit K, as well as additional correspondence received
since the last hearing, marked Exhibits L, M, and N. He stated Section 22-1-20 refers to an Appendix,
which staff now recommends be deleted from the Ordinance and referenced as a report which will be
made available by staff. He stated the next recommended change deals with the deletion of the Executive
Summary in Section 22-1-50, to avoid any claims that the Summary represents the whole document. He
further stated the third proposed revision is to Section 22-2-30, to include broader language which
acknowledges the changing status of Weld County as an agricultural producer. Mr. Mueller stated
Section 22-2-30 adds a reference to alluvial wells as a source of irrigation water, and Section 22-5-50
includes a streamlined list of land use tools that might be used in terms of open space. He stated, in
response to work session comments, Section 22-6-20 has been refined to express support for
"shovel-ready dirt" for industrial development, as well as removing the reference to the Appendix, which
is now being deleted. Mr. Mueller reviewed some minor clerical errors, as cited in an E-mail
correspondence from Karla Grieser, marked Exhibit J, and he requested those modifications be made
administratively by staff.
Pam Shaddock, member of the Greeley City Council and of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC),
stated she was often the dissenting voice on the TAC, and she expressed some of her views for further
consideration. She stated the Board may want to consider conducting evening meetings to include the
working public, as well as taking a closer look at sub plans regarding specific areas throughout Weld
County. Ms. Shaddock also urged the Board to consider drafting a vision statement, and she read a
proposed draft vision statement for the record. She stated the proposed Comprehensive Plan focuses on
short-term economic growth; however,she believes it does not emphasize long-term uses,and she shared
language highlighting a municipal collaboration to encourage Intergovernmental Agreements(IGA's)and
design standards for the best and wisest use of resources and transportation corridors in Weld County.
She expressed concern regarding the apparent trend towards subdividing within Regional Urbanization
Areas (RUA's) where it is too easy to develop, and stated Weld County must try to avoid setting up a
situation where the County competes with municipalities. Ms. Shaddock also requested additional review
of requests to subdivide agricultural parcels into less than 80 acres, and recommended the municipal
growth boundaries remain at three miles,versus the proposed 1.5 miles. Lastly, she stated any incentives
for developing within the County should be limited to those that are adjacent to a municipal Urban Growth
Boundary (UGB) to benefit all impacted parties. She stated consideration of these items will meet the
proposed vision statement.
Bruce Nickerson, Planner for the Town of Firestone, commended Weld County staff for working with
representatives from the Tri-Town area to address their concerns. He stated the Plan is well done and is
supported by the Town of Firestone. In response to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Nickerson stated many
of the municipalities did bring up a lot of issues; however, County staff, members of the TAC, and the
Planning Commission were very helpful in drafting an advisory document which allows flexibility, and he
is pleased with the refined language.
Jim Woodward, County resident, stated at the first and second readings he proposed an addition to
address uranium mining and the appropriate setback distance to avoid surface and subsurface
contamination; however, Mr. Barker expressed concern with the potential risks and unintended
consequences of inserting language that may be interpreted incorrectly. In response to Mr. Barker's
concern, Mr. Woodward read alternate language for Section 22-5-80.C.9 (CM.Policy 3.9 and
Recommended Strategy CM.3.9.a and CM.3.9.b) for the record, as reflected in Exhibits L and M. He
stated the proposed Policy is similar to Oil and Gas Policy 2.6, which is silent to the potential public health
impacts from uranium and other ore mineral mining. He stated the proposed language allows the Board
and Planning staff to fully review and consider land use regulations to address potential threats to the
public health, safety, and welfare of the public. He further stated, regardless of whether the language is
adopted or not, the Board should instruct staff to review the issue and work with the public in drafting
Minutes, November 24, 2008 2008-3095
Page 4 BC0016
amendments to the Zoning Code. Mr. Woodward stated it is important to have zoning regulations in place
before allowing the review of a uranium mining application, and he requested a four-month moratorium on
Use by Special Review Permit applications for uranium mining while the regulations are drafted, reviewed,
and adopted.
Artie Elmquist, County resident and member of the Southwest Weld Alliance for Preservation Group,
applauded the TAC for its efforts in fine tuning the proposed Comprehensive Plan. He concurred with the
comments made by Ms. Shaddock, and stated he supports the adoption of a vision statement.
Mr. Elmquist stated it is important to maintain Weld County's rural heritage while supporting economic
development, and the balance must be made when using County resources.
Howard Williams, County resident, stated he fully supports Mr. Woodward's proposed language
amendment. He stated there has been good communication on the matter of uranium mining, as well as
supporting communication between various municipalities and the County. Mr.Williams indicated the Park
County Comprehensive Plan does include formal language which points out its vision for expansion,
growth, and development, and it is easily understood that dirty industries are not encouraged, and that
there are appropriate areas set aside for certain uses. He stated the issue of uranium mining has been
taken seriously by various governmental entities throughout the United States and Canada, and he
recommends the Board's consideration of the proposed language.
Connie Barber, County resident,stated she supports Mr.Woodward's proposed language. She stated she
lives in the area under consideration for uranium development.
Doug Meyer, County resident, read the Preamble of the Weld County Home Rule Charter for the record,
and stated the Board needs to work within the intent of the language. He referred to Section 22-2-20.1.4.a
and stated Recommended Strategy A.9.4.a should be removed for consistency with the deletion from the
open space section. He also referenced Section 22-2-40.B.5.a (UD.Policy 2.5) and stated Weld County
does not need a third party to facilitate IGA discussions, therefore, the language should be deleted, and
he also requested Section 22-5-30.C (W.Goal 3) be modified to replace the word "Cooperate" with
"Coordinate." Mr. Meyer stated the current Comprehensive Plan includes Section 22-5-50.1.1
(O.Policy 9.1) regarding compensation for the acquisition of privately owned land for public open space,
which he believes is compatible with the Preamble of the Weld County Home Rule Charter and the Fifth
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and, therefore, should be included in the new Comprehensive Plan.
He also read Section 22-5-110.A for the record and requested the last sentence be modified to state,
". . . supporting the unique customs, culture, and historical character of Weld County." Lastly, Mr. Meyer
referred to Section 22-6-20.D.4.1.a (ECON.Goal 4) and stated public tax dollars should not be used as
incentives for businesses to locate in Weld County, rather, that is the responsibility of banks. He further
stated ECON.Policy 5.4 may need to be modified, since Weld County does not have a surplus of water
to be promoted as an incentive for attracting economic development. Mr. Meyer thanked everyone for the
time involved in drafting the proposed Comprehensive Plan.
Doris Williams, County resident, stated she supports Mr. Woodward's proposed language. She indicated
she is pleased that Weld County is addressing the issue of uranium and other types of mining, since
previously there were no guidelines to save domestic water or the land. Ms. Williams also expressed her
support for the recommendation of a moratorium until regulations are in place to review a uranium mining
application.
Pat Kennedy, County resident, stated she received notice of an oil and gas mineral drilling operation
proposed to locate three blocks from her house, within the City of Greeley. Chair Jerke commented her
concerns will need to be directed to the City of Greeley or the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission. She also expressed concern with the lack of maintenance and serious deterioration for much
Minutes, November 24, 2008 2008-3095
Page 5 BC0016
of the existing development throughout the County, and she submitted photographs, marked Exhibit N.
Ms. Kennedy indicated the proposed Comprehensive Plan needs to address how resources will be used
to maintain existing development in the long term to prevent run down neighborhoods. Chair Jerke stated
Ms. Shaddock's comments did address a similar concern with rural development competing with
municipalities and possible lost revenue. He stated Weld County developments are required to establish
a Metropolitan District to help ensure the provision of a tax mill levy to provide maintenance of future
streets and utilities. Ms. Kennedy expressed her support of the major transportation provision that needs
to take place to ensure better traffic flow from Greeley to Interstate 25. Commissioner Garcia commended
Ms. Kennedy for attending and expressing her concerns,and he encouraged her to remain involved to help
resolve public problems. Chair Jerke stated the public hearing for the O Street Corridor Study is scheduled
for Monday, December 8, 2008, at 9:00 a.m., and he invited Ms. Kennedy to attend. Commissioner
Masden thanked Ms. Kennedy for her comments, as she is represented by the City of Greeley,which also
had input on the proposed Comprehensive Plan.
Stan Everitt was present to answer any questions, and he thanked Mr. Nickerson for Firestone's review
of the initial drafts,as well as the acknowledgment of the improvements which have been made throughout
the process.
Chair Jerke issued a five-minute recess. Upon reconvening,the Board went through staff's memorandum,
marked Exhibit K, and Mr. Everitt stated the TAC supports removal of the Appendix and Executive
Summary and the Board agreed. Based on the summary provided in the Memorandum,the Board agreed
to modify Sections 22-2-10.A and .C, as well as removing the reference to conservation easements from
Section 22-5-50.A.3 (O.Policy 1.3), and from Section 22-2-20.l.4.a (Recommended Strategy A.9.4.a.).
Mr. Everitt agreed with the revisions, as it does not eliminate the ability to create conservation easements.
The Board also agreed with the proposed revision to Section 22-6-20.E.1 to add a revised Recommended
Strategy ECON.5.1.a, as well as modifying ECON.Policy 6.1 to reflect the removal of the Appendix.
Mr. Mueller referred to the administrative changes referenced in the E-mail correspondence from Karla
Grieser, and the Board agreed with the proposed administrative corrections. Chair Jerke stated the Joint
Planning Board referred to in previous Policy language under Section 22-2-40.B.6 was deleted at second
reading, and he feels the Board has dealt with each of Mr. Meyer's proposals by including them or voting
against them and choosing not to incorporate his requests. In response to Commissioner Garcia,
Mr. Barker stated current law does require just compensation for the acquisition of land, and Weld County
cannot take open space without paying. Chair Jerke stated the issue is also covered by the Fifth
Amendment to the Constitution, and he does not want to face the issue of payment for donations.
Mr. Barker clarified references to open space deal with space owned by the County, not with privately
owned open space for Homeowners' Associations, etcetera. Commissioner Masden added the property
owner must be paid fair market value for lands desired for open space. Commissioner Rademacher
commented he supports Mr. Meyer's proposal to modify Section 22-5-30.C(W.Goal 3)to replace the word
"Cooperate"with"Coordinate",which he believes will help avoid unintended consequences. Upon further
review, Commissioner Garcia stated the word"Coordinate" has been used throughout the document, and
he believes it is an appropriate use in this reference, and the Board and Mr. Everitt agreed.
In response to Chair Jerke, Mr. Barker expressed concern with the language submitted by Jeff Parsons,
marked Exhibit L. He stated the word "Ensure" connotes a liability, and that is not the intent; however, it
may be better to replace "Ensure" with "Promote," which is consistent with the remainder of
Section 22-5-80. He further stated Recommended Strategy CM.3.9.a should be modified to replace
"Develop" with "Consider developing" and change "ensure" to "promote." He stated the Board has the
authority to issue a moratorium under the 1041 regulations as an area or activity of state interest. He
stated the last part of the sentence is not necessary, since there are land use regulations in place.
Mr. Barker stated Recommended Strategy CM.3.9.a is sufficient, since the Board would be considering
development land use regulations pursuant to the 1041 regulations, which are land use regulations that
Minutes, November 24, 2008 2008-3095
Page 6 BC0016
are uniquely adapted to provide authority for a specific purpose. He stated he spoke with Jeff Parsons
regarding this issue. Chair Jerke suggested further modifying Recommended Strategy CM.3.9.a to state,
"Consider development land use regulations, including the adoption of 1041 powers to promote . . ."
Mr. Barker stated the specific regulations are located in Section 24-65.5-101, C.R.S., et seq. He further
stated CM.3.9.b is not necessary, as the Board has moratorium powers already. Mr. Everitt stated it is
difficult for a County to promote the health of citizens; however, it is possible to promote safety. Chair
Jerke commented promoting the health, safety, and welfare is a standard phase, and Mr. Barker stated
he advised the TAC as such. He stated, in this case, the word "health" could be taken to mean there is
a higher health risk, and it may be appropriate to limit the phrase to"safety." Commissioner Rademacher
stated a similar change also needs to be made in Section 22-5-100.B.6(OG.Policy 2.6)to replace the word
"Ensure"with "Promote"for consistency. Mr. Everitt suggested removing the words "uranium and other"
from CM.Policy 3.9, since ore mineral mining is all inclusive, including aggregate, and the Board agreed.
Tom Holton, TAC member, expressed concern that the proposed language and proposed setbacks may
effect aggregate construction materials. Chair Jerke stated there is nothing that prevents the distinction
between the various types of mining in future amendments to Code regulations, and the Board agreed.
In response to Mr. Barker, Mr. Holton clarified the setback distances may eliminate the ability to mine some
areas,and he wants to ensure the proposed statement does not include construction materials. Mr. Barker
reiterated the distinction can be made in Code regulations. Mr. Holton added the State is also changing
the definition to exclude aggregate from other deep rock mining. Mr. Barker read revised Recommended
Strategy CM.3.9.b to state,"Consider developing land use regulations, including those of Section 24-65.5-
101, C.R.S., et seq., to promote the safety of all citizens that are in relatively close proximity to other ore
mineral mining and processing facilities." Chair Jerke suggested also changing Section 22-5-100.8.10 to
replace the word"Ensure"with"Promote"for consistency. Mr. Everitt also suggested replacing the second
"ensure" with "address", and the Board agreed.
Chair Jerke stated a vision statement for all of Weld County is possible when addressing County
government; however, it is very difficult when attempting to define where things should go and how fast
it should happen. He stated the specifics are more appropriately addressed by municipalities, leaving the
County more open to opportunities of free enterprise, transportation, etcetera. He stated it would be very
difficult to have the County pre-prescribe where certain uses should be and to what abundance, and he
believes that should be determined by the people.
Commissioner Masden agreed and stated Weld County is too large in size and diversity to be defined by
one vision statement. He stated there are 32 municipalities, as well as 120 taxing entities, which creates
too vast a spectrum of interests, nor would it be fair to brand all of Weld County with one statement.
Commissioner Rademacher stated he and Commissioner Long attended a Positive for Partnership meeting
where they split into groups and attempted to draft a vision statement. He stated each of the groups came
up with something different and they could not come to agreement on which version to select,which is very
indicative that the language would have to be so broad that it would be meaningless.
Commissioner Long agreed there are separate identities which span throughout Weld County and many
desire to determine their own destiny. He stated he does not support attempting to superimpose a greater
identity over all of Weld County. He further stated the annexation plans of the municipalities further
diversify the County, and the Board attempts to be responsive to all of the various needs, as expressed
by the Mission Statement of Weld County.
Commissioner Garcia agreed with previous comments and stated there is a Weld County vision which
involves all of the stake holders in Weld County Government. He stated all of the testimony provided
regarding this Ordinance is only a small reflection of all of the various visions of Weld County residents,
Minutes, November 24, 2008 2008-3095
Page 7 BC0016
and he does not support the inclusion of a Summary Statement beyond the existing Mission Statement of
Weld County.
Commissioner Garcia moved to approve Code Ordinance #2008-13 on Final Reading, as amended.
Commissioner Masden seconded the motion and thanked the TAC committee members and participating
member of the public for their dedication of time and effort in reviewing this matter. He also commended
staff for a job well done, and stated all of the individuals involved have a vested interest as citizens of Weld
County. Chair Jerke also thanked the TAC members and citizens for their input,which resulted in a better
document. There being no further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
Consent Agenda. Code Ordinance #2008-17 was approved on second reading, and Code
Ordinance #2008-13 was approved on final reading.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at 12:00 p.m.
