Masden Commissioner Douglas Rademacher Also present: Acting Clerk to the Board, Elizabeth Strong County Attorney, Bruce Barker Director of Finance and Administration, Donald D. Warden The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated November 9, 2007, and duly published November 14, 2007, in the Fort Lupton Press, a public hearing was conducted to consider the Southwestern Weld County Law Enforcement Authority 2008 Budget. Donald Warden, Director of Finance and Administration, stated this is the first year the Southwest Weld County Law Enforcement Authority has existed and upon its inception,the Board recommended dedicating one acre to it and increasing the amount of land as other subdivisions, or areas, which needed the service were created. Mr. Warden stated due to the decrease in the number of people purchasing houses, the project has not required expansion; therefore, only the one acre originally dedicated to the Southwest Weld County Law Enforcement Authority remains and the acre is valued at $60.00, or with the seven maximum mills, .43; therefore, he recommended the Board not approve a budget for the Southwest Weld County Law Enforcement Authority this year, and that the Board not do so until a budget is justified. Bruce Barker, County Attorney, stated he completed a Resolution yesterday to expand the Southwest Weld County Law Enforcement Authority to include the Saint Vrain Lakes Metropolitan District, at the request of Carma, Inc. Responding to Mr. Barker, Mr. Warden stated the expanded area will not be considered in the budget until 2009 since it must be included before May 1 of the year being evaluated to be included in the assessment. No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. Commissioner Jerke moved to decline setting budget for the Southwest Weld County Law Enforcement Authority for 2008, upon staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Garcia, and it carried unanimously. 2007-3853 SD0118 HEARING CERTIFICATION - SOUTHWESTERN WELD COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY PAGE 2 This Certification was approved on the 17th day of December 2007.

The Southwest Weld Law Enforcement Authority was created to accommodate a rural subdivision. Due to the housing slowdown the project has been delayed. The LEA is currently a grass field with an assessed value of$60 that would result in forty-three cents in property taxes with the maximum mill levy of 7 mills. The Commissioners as a practical manner did not feel a budget or mill levy was appropriate for 2008 since only forty-three cents would be generated in 2008 property taxes. If you have questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (970) 356-4000, Extension 4218. Ve t my yours, • Donald D. Warden, Director Finance and Administration Ddw/ch Southwest Weld LEA Budget NOTICE AS TO PROPOSED BUDGET DOCKET NO. 2007-88 NOTICE is hereby given that a proposed budget has been submitted to the Southwestern Weld County Law Enforcement District Authority Board for the ensuring year of 2008.
