capacity to adequately satisfy client needs. A new building is needed to service the Greeley/Evans/La Salle

D. PROJECT INFORMATION
The statutory purpose of the Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance program is to provide financial assistance to
"political subdivisions socially or economically impacted by the development, processing or energy conversion of
minerals and mineral fuels."
1. Social and Economic Impact
a. Describe how the applicant is impacted by the development, production, or conversion of energy and mineral
resources
Weld County has over 19,500 oil and gas wells dispersed throughout the county with over 10,000 of these being
active wells. According to DPT, this represents over fifty percent of all active wells in Colorado. The biggest
effect of this production is seen in impacts to general governmental services particularly those providing for the
needs of the general population which in a large part includes those who work in the energy industry.
In 2006, According to the 2007 Upstate Colorado Demographic Profile there were a total of 114,849 employees
in Weld County, of these 2,187 were active field workers and when including support staff there were an
estimated 6561 workers actively engaging in mining and mining support activities in Weld County. A portion of
these individuals are likely to receive governmental services ranging from Payment Assistance (food stamps),
Day Care, Transportation, Area Agency on Aging, Housing Assistance, Child Protection, to Adult Protection.
The average wage of an oil field worker in 2006 drop from an annual average income of$57,720 in 2005 to
$52,832 in 2006 representing an 8.47 percent decrease.
b. To further document impact, cite the type of past, current or proposed energy/mineral impact activities in the
area, the names of the companies involved, the number of employees associated with the activities impacting
the jurisdiction and other relevant, quantitative indicators of energy/mineral impact.
The attached map delineates the active oil and gas activity in this area.
To date, 435 permits for oil and gas have been issued.
c. Cite actual usage statistics that document impact and the need for the project. For example, "heavy truck
traffic related to energy development activities is impacting a county road that needs improvement. A traffic count
done in May 2006 showed that heavy truck traffic increased from 100 trips per day to 300 trips". (If documentation
is not available, consider undertaking the necessary research before submitting an application).
According to the 2006 State Demographer's Office profile there were114,849 workers in Weld County and
approximately 6561 to 8748 of these workers were employed in mining activities. The average annual salary of
these workers is$52,832. This worker in a family of five falls within the moderate income range and is likely
eligible for some forms of governmental assistance.
Project Significance
a. Why is the project needed and what are the goals of the project?
The current Social Service Building was built in 1974. Later, in 1999 an additional building was constructed on
the same site. Since the early seventies (70's) social services were also provided from the Ft Lupton Service
Center. In 2006, with the growing population of southeast Weld County social services were relocated to the
Southeast Weld facilities allowing for an expansion of services and an ease of user ship.
The goals of this project are to provide adequate and usable space for the public to receive social and human
services. During the past several years we have seen an increase in those requiring these services. It is Weld
County's intent and desire to ensure it provides these support services in an effective and efficient manner.
b. How will project implementation benefit public health and safety, improve the effectiveness or efficiency of
service delivery systems and/or generally improve the quality of life for residents?
The public benefits of this project are numerous: the project affords the public increased efficiency in which to
receive critical life support services. Time sensitive delivery of services is critical, and when services are not
Page 4 of 6 Pages
rendered in an appropriate fashion due to space constraints and other concerns those needing these services
suffer potentionally both mentally and physically.
c. What are the consequences if the project is not awarded funds?
Should funding not be available Weld county citizens will be dealt with space constraints and inadequate
delivery of critical services. Many will be faced with long wait for services and delayed appointment times to
meet with critical case workers and staff.
a. Local Commitment
a. Explain the origin of your local cash match. (Note: Local government cash match on a dollar for dollar basis
is encouraged.)
Weld County will provide $4,000,000 dollars or 80% of the funds needed for this project. Weld County
currently has this project listed in its CIP and earmarked the funds for this future use.
b. Describe any in-kind contributions (type and value).
According to a recent appraisal the property on which this building will be located has an appraised value of
$400,000 dollars
Weld County Public staff is committed to managing the grant and overall construction of this project.
c. Does the applicant have sufficient financial capability in reserve funds and/or unused debt capacity that can
be used to secure local matching funds?Yes_X No Explain:
d. Has the applicant's tax rate, user charges or fees been reviewed recently to address funding for the
proposed project? Yes No X_ Has the applicant recently modified the tax rate, user charges or
fees? Yes No_X_ If the tax rate, user charges or fees were modified, when did this change occur?
e. What other sources of local, state and federal funds as well as foundation funds has the applicant pursued?
Explain. Weld County General fund dollars will be used as well as approximately$150,000 dollars of
monies collected as Capital Expansion Impact fees will be used as a portion of the County's
Property taxes and impact fees are also used to fund capital projects. Weld County assesses a$1,000 per
oil/gas rig move, and imposes a transportation impact fee on new development. Weld County also imposes a
Capital Expansion fee for new development to offset the cost of future new county facilities.
4. Relationship to Community Goals
a. Is the project identified in the applicant's budget, capital improvement plan, equipment replacement plan,
comprehensive plan, utility plan or other local or regional strategic management or planning document?
Yes, this project has been identified in the Capital Improvements Plan and is included in the adopted 2008
Weld County Budget.
b. How did the applicant develop project cost estimates? If applicable, has a preliminary
architectural/engineering study been completed? Yes_ No_X_what additional design work must still be
completed? Explain. (Attach one copy of any preliminary engineering reports,architectural drawings, cost estimates, detailed
project budget.)
General construction figures of similar buildings constructed of similar type construction will yield a
construction rate of$140 per sq feet for a 35,000 sq building results in an approximate construction cost of
$5,000,000. The site the building will be constructed on is currently owned by Weld County government.
Page 5 of 6 Pages
5. Management Capacity
a. For construction, renovation or equipment acquisition projects, does the applicant maintain reserve funds for
capital improvement, or replacement of equipment items?
Yes, Weld County maintains a strong contingency fund resource of$5,400,000.

c. Does the applicant have the technical, financial and managerial capacity to operate and maintain the
facilities or services developed through the project for the entire life cycle? Explain. (If applicable,attach the

$17,000,000 for the expansion of the Weld County Jail, $4,000,000 for the construction of the Alternative
Project, and Court House Remodel project of$2,000,000.
d. Have a number of implementation options been considered? Can the project be accomplished within
budget? Are contingencies considered within the project budget? Does the project duplicate service
capacity already established? (Has consolidation of services with another provider been considered?)

projects. For Example, all of the projects listed above have were built with minimal time delays and well
within established budgets.
