BIDS:
CONDUCT ORAL AUCTION FOR OIL AND GAS LEASE - NE1/4 OF S12, T9N, R66W (160 ACRES):
Monica Mika, Director of Administrative Services, stated the bid nominations were advertised in the
Greeley Tribune on October 10, 2008; however, no formal bids have been received by staff for any of the
seven bid nominations. She stated a company representative did call this morning to indicate he was on
his way from Windsor to attend the meeting. She clarified the Board may continue the bids to a later date,
or may dismiss these bid nominations and have the parcels re-bid at a later date. Commissioner
Rademacher indicated he prefers to dismiss these bids and complete the bid process when more interest
is presented. Chair Jerke expressed his concerns regarding going forward with the bid process with the
possibility of only one representative placing a formal bid. He indicated the Board prefers for the bids to
be competitive in nature. In response to Chair Jerke, Phillip Haskett, Kinetic Energy Partners, LLC,
requested that the bid process be continued as he has a client which may be interested in completing the
bid process. Responding to Chair Jerke, Bruce Barker, County Attorney, stated the Board may direct the
Clerk to the Board to re-bid the nominations immediately, or, when additional interest is generated
regarding these parcels. In response to Commissioner Rademacher, Mr. Barker clarified the matter will
not be continued to a specified date, rather, the Board will need to dismiss these bid nominations. He
further clarified these parcels may be nominated for the bidding procedure again when an interest is
expressed within the future. Commissioner Rademacher moved to dismiss all seven bid nominations,and
instructed staff to re-bid the nominations when future interest is generated. Seconded by Commissioner
Garcia, the motion carried unanimously.

PLANNING:
CONSIDER THREE-LOT RECORDED EXEMPTION #4839 - SEMCRUDE, L.P.: Following extensive
discussion regarding Amended Use by Special Review Permit#1614 to encompass the proposed three
lots (See Hearing Certification 08-87), Jacqueline Hatch, Department of Planning Services, stated staff
is recommending denial of the Recorded Exemption request, as it is not consistent with Sec. 24-8-20.C.1
of the Weld County Code. She stated the property owner does have lease agreements with Noble Energy,
Inc.,and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, and if approved, staff recommends inclusion of the Conditions
of Approval, as listed in the Draft Resolution. Chair Jerke stated the Recorded Exemption rules are in
place to ensure the subdivision requirements are not evaded; however, in this case the applicant is an oil
company which will be sending hundreds of millions of gallons of oil for use. Commissioner Long stated
he does not believe approval of this request will set a precedent, rather, it makes good business sense to
divide the property. Mr. Barker stated the motion will also need to waive the 122-acre requirement stated
in Section 24-8-20.C.2. Commissioner Garcia moved to approve the application of Sem Cruce, L.P. for
a Three-Lot Recorded Exemption#4839,and to waive the 122-acre requirement. Julie Cozad,Tetra Tech,
Inc., stated she and the applicant have reviewed, and concur with, the Conditions of Approval.
Commissioner Rademacher seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
amended Consent Agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
