Dear Council Members:
E
At today's meeting the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado
adopted the attached resolution concerning an offer to purchase the old Ft.
Lupton City Hall. The offer is for $170,000 cash for the entire building,
land, and parking area, as is.
In addition, the offer includes the provision that Weld County would agree
to amend the ambulance agreement with Ft. Lupton to provide that Weld County
would house the Ambulance Service in the new county facility, thus reducing
the City of Ft. Lupton's cost of providing such facilities. In addition to
the $170,000 offer, Weld County anticipates expenditures in excess of $30,000
to remodel the facility to accommodate county needs.
Based upon our assessment of the facility, we feel that the offer is a fair one
to both parties. In addition, it would allow separate facilities for both the
city and county for future expansion. Hopefully you will accept the offer
contingent upon the approval of your electorate at a special election to
authorize disposal of the property.
If the offer is acceptable, please notify me or Don Warden at 356-4000 to
work with the County Attorney in developing a formal contract contingent
upon a favorable election regarding this matter.
Very truly yours,
BOARD
OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Chuck Carlson, Chairman
