not be totally complete by the time they move in next week, they are anxious to take occupancy.

NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDER LABORATORY SERVICES AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN - THE
CAMPUS CLINIC, LLC: In the absence of a staff member from the Environment Health Division, Linda
Henry, Department of Public Health and Environment, stated it appears the Department will provide
laboratory testing on behalf of the Campus Clinic, LLC, as noted in the memorandum from Dr. Mark
Wallace, dated September 30, 2008. Mr. Barker explained the Department enters into this type of
agreement with various entities which are unable to provide the necessary testing services. In response
to Chair Jerke, Mr. Barker stated the agreement includes the standard one-year term, with an automatic
renewal, unless one of the parties provides notice of termination. Commissioner Rademacher moved to
approve said agreement and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Masden,the motion
carried unanimously.
CONSIDER LIMITED AMENDMENT FOR TASK ORDER #3 FOR TUBERCULOSIS PROGRAM AND
AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Ms. Henry stated this amendment provides an additional $4,457.00 for
the term beginning July 1, 2008, and ending June 30, 2009, for a total of$65,357.00. In response to Chair
Jerke, Ms. Henry stated this is a typical funding process for the Tuberculosis(TB)Program, because when
the grant is awarded at the beginning of the fiscal year, the necessary funding amount is unclear,
therefore, the State issues additional funds as the number of TB cases is recognized. In response to
Commissioner Garcia, Ms. Henry stated there has been an increase in TB activity, due to the current
increase in the refugee population. Commissioner Garcia moved to approve said limited amendment and
authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Masden, the motion carried unanimously.

of Public Works, requested approval of the temporary closure of County Road 13, between County
Roads 44 and 46. She stated County Road 13 has an average daily traffic count of 1,807, and the closure
will be effective from October 13, through October 24, 2008, for a bridge replacement. She further stated
message boards have been placed to notify the public, staff will use standard road signs and barricades
during the closure, and two miles of the detour route will be treated with magnesium chloride. In response
to Commissioner Rademacher, Ms. Carter stated the detour will direct traffic over to County Road 15.
Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve said temporary closure. Seconded by Commissioner
Masden, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF CR 23.5 NORTH OF CR 14.5: Ms. Carter stated there are no
traffic counts for County Road 23.5, as it serves six residences. She stated the closure will be effective
from October 13, through October 17, 2008, for a culvert replacement, standard signs and barricades will
be used during the closure, and although message boards will not be used, staff did provide individual
letters to the six residences. Ms. Carter explained staff did coordinate a detour route by obtaining
approval from the property/easement owner of a nearby oil and gas road to direct traffic over to County
Road 25. In response to Commissioner Rademacher, Mr. Barker stated use of the private
property/easement does not create a liability for the County, rather, it is more of a liability issue for the
property/easement holders. He also noted Weld County has governmental immunity from traffic liability
