WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, pursuant to
Colorado statute and the Weld County Home Rule Charter, is vested with the authority of
administering the affairs of Weld County, Colorado, and
WHEREAS, in the 1980's, the State Department of Social Services directed all County
Social Services Boards to hold Social Services Board meetings separate from regular County
Commissioner meetings when sitting as the County Social Services Board, and
WHEREAS, Section 26-1-116(3), C.R.S., has been amended to allow the County Social
Services Board to hold meetings to address County Social Services business in conjunction with
the meeting of the County Commissioners, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution#2008-1533,effective June 1, 2008, the Board of Weld
County Commissioners are combining the existing Departments of Social Services and Human
Services into one department named the Department of Human Services, and
WHEREAS, the Clerk to the Board recommends, with the reorganization, to combine all
Social Services agenda business with the agenda of the regular Board of Weld County
Commissioners meeting, as permitted per Section 26-1-116(3), C.R.S., to avoid the Department
of Human Services from having to separate the business of the department onto two separate
agendas.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Weld County Commissioners
hereby agrees with the Clerk to the Board's recommendation and directs that the Social Services
Board's business be combined on the agenda of the regular Board of Weld County Commissioners
meeting, effective with the June 2, 2008, meeting and all meetings thereafter.
