NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: USE OF FORFEITED PROPERTY BY THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE: Bruce
Barker, County Attorney, stated there are a skid steer loader and a flatbed trailer which are going to be
used by the Sheriff's Office, and he recommends approval. In response to Commissioner Jerke, Richard
Toft, Sheriffs Office, stated the Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) on the items have been destroyed
and staff has been unable to locate the owners. He stated there has been an increase in the number of
thefts of skid steer loaders over the last five years, and the Sheriffs Office intends to use the skid steer
loader and flatbed trailer as bait vehicles and track the skid steer loader by equipping it with both a Global
Positioning System (GPS) and a low jack system. In response to CommissionerJerke, Mr. Barker stated
the processes for the Sheriffs Office to be able to utilize unclaimed equipment are to begin with checking
the VIN #, due notifications through publication, and finally obtaining the vehicles through a forfeiture
action. In response to Mr. Barker, Mr. Toft stated the forfeiture act has not been completed. Mr. Warder
stated this equipment is unclaimed, opposed to forfeited. Mr. Barker stated there is a process to have
unclaimed items determined to be forfeited, there are state statutes which address the process, and the
process does first require approval by the Board. In response to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Barker stated
it is best to have the Board approve the process before the paperwork is completed to officially obtain the
property. Responding to Commissioner Garcia, Mr. Barker stated the approval of the Board expresses
the intent of use for the property; however, it is not the forfeiture act itself. Commissioner Jerke moved
to approve said Resolution. Commissioner Garcia seconded the motion. In response to Chair Long,
Mr. Barker stated he will follow up on researching the process of forfeiting unclaimed items for the benefit
of the Board. There being no further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.

AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Walt Speckman, Director of Human Services, stated the Transit Advisory
Board recommends the grant for approval. He stated the main purpose of the grant is to provide
transportation for senior residents of Weld County in need. Commissioner Garcia moved to approve said
application and plan, and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Masden, the motion
