County District Attorney's Office. Ken Buck, District Attorney, presented Ms. Kobel with a pin, in
recognition of her service. Mr. Buck stated it is a sad day for him, since Ms. Kobel was the glue that held
the office together. He stated Ms. Kobel's institutional knowledge is the type needed in government
offices. He further stated Ms. Kobel maintained a non-partisan role,demonstrated concern for the citizens
of Weld County, welcomed people into the office, and maintained the office standards. Mr. Buck stated
every office needs someone like Ms. Kobel and the District Attorney's office is fortunate to have had her
for many years. Chair Long stated it benefits the citizens of Weld County to have capable staff in this type
of position; therefore, he is sorry to see Ms. Kobel leave, and he wished Ms. Kobel luck in future
endeavors. Commissioner Rademacher stated it is a telling statement when a room full of people attend

BIDS:
PRESENT AND APPROVE SECURITY SYSTEM EMERGENCY BID - NORTH RANGE BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH BUILDING: Mr.Warden stated there will be three emergency bids presented for the North Range
Behavioral Health building to be paid for from the $100,000.00 awarded from the Colorado Development
Block Grant(CDBG)funds for equipment. He explained the County had to wait until a signed contract was
received back from the State before approving the bids, and it arrived yesterday. He stated the first bid
is for the security system, and he read the names of the three vendors who submitted a bid into the record.
Mr. Warden stated staff recommends acceptance of the bid from Protection One, in the amount of
$24,554.00, since it is the only one which will provide a web based access system. In response to
Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Warden explained the reason the County must be involved with these bids is
because the CDBG funds are awarded to the County from the State, and then the County awards the
funds to public facilities. He further explained the structure of the federal law, and that the CDBG requires
the money to pass through Weld County to be procured through the local government's purchase property;
therefore, the County cannot simply give the funds to North Range Behavioral Health,due to CBDG funds
historically being abused and criminally exploited. Mr. Warden stated in order to limit liability, the County
will not warranty any of the work or products purchased through these bids. Commissioner Garcia moved
to approve the bid from Protection One, based on staffs recommendation. Seconded by Commissioner
Rademacher, the motion carried unanimously.
PRESENT AND APPROVE COMMERCIAL WINDOW TREATMENTS EMERGENCY BID - NORTH
RANGE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BUILDING: Mr. Warden stated the next bid is for commercial window
treatments, and he read the names of the three vendors who submitted a bid into the record. He stated
staff recommends the low bid from the Blind Man of America. Commissioner Jerke moved to approve said
low bid, based on staff's recommendation. Seconded by Commissioner Garcia, the motion carried
unanimously.
PRESENT AND APPROVE ANALOG IP TELEPHONY SYSTEMS EMERGENCY BID- NORTH RANGE
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BUILDING: Mr. Warden stated this bid is for the telephone system, and the two
vendors who submitted a bid are Inpath Devices and 1st Class Communications, Inc. He stated the low
bid from Inpath Devices, in the amount of $63,616.00, is recommended. In response to Commissioner
Rademacher, Mr. Warden stated the reason bids were not received from the six additional vendors the
County contacted is likely that the companies were not able to demonstrate their ability to perform the
installation and maintenance for a 3COM telephone system. Commissioner Rademacher moved to
approve said low bid, based on staff's recommendation. Seconded by Commissioner Jerke, the motion
carried unanimously.

APPROVE INMATE COLLECT CALLING PHONE SERVICES BID- SHERIFF'S OFFICE(CON'T FROM
10/31/07): Mr. Warden read the names of six vendors into the record who submitted a bid, and explained
the Sheriff's Office formed a committee to evaluate the bids using a scoring system, which is explained
on the second page of the documents. Mr. Warden stated Securus Technologies is the highest ranked
and submitted a competitive bid; therefore, staff recommends approval of this bid. In response to Chair
Long, Sterling Geesaman, Sheriff's Office, stated the commission is the lowest of those presented and
securing a low commission rate was one of the County goals when selecting a vendor for this bid.
Mr. Geesaman stated the committee was more interested in the technology services to be offered then
the commission to be generated, and this company will provide the best product. In response to Chair
Long, Mr. Geesaman stated it does not cost the County anything, in fact, it generates revenue for the
County. In response to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Barker stated this is a service inmates have a
constitutional right to in regards to contacting council; however, he is unsure if it applies to relatives.
Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve said bid, based on staff's recommendation. Commissioner
Garcia seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDER TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO CR 13 AND
AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN - EDWARD AND LINDA GRENEMYER: Leon Sievers, Department of
Public Works, stated this is the 12th of approximately 15 parcels being acquired for the County Road 13
Strategic Road Project, and it is located on the east side of County Road 13 and south of County Road 12.
Mr. Sievers stated the County is acquiring 2,200 square feet of temporary construction easement for
$500.00, which is slightly more than the minimum cost, due to its close proximity to the house. He stated
the County is also reimbursing the land owner $500.00 for some shrubs and a tree, for a total
compensation of $1000.00. Commissioner Garcia moved to approve said easement and authorize the
Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Jerke, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF CR 2 BETWEEN CRS 39 AND 45: Mr. Sievers stated this
closure will be for approximately 40 days to replace a bridge. Mr. Sievers stated message boards will be
posted in advance of the closure, and road signs and barricades will be placed on the road during its
closure. He stated the closure is for .5 miles of roadway and approximately 708 vehicles travel the road
each day. Mr. Sievers stated water will be used for dust control. Commissioner Rademacher moved to
approve said temporary closure. Seconded by Commissioner Garcia, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO
SIGN - MATT MAILLARO: Mr. Warden stated the Board must establish the salary of new Deputy District
Attorneys. Commissioner Garcia moved to appoint Matt Maillaro as a Chief Deputy District attorney and
authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Jerke, the motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING:
CONSIDER REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF SUBMITTAL OF SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN
AND PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FINAL PLAN, PF #1102 - TRINITY PROPERTIES, LP: Brad
Mueller, Department of Planning Services, stated an extension of one year has been requested.
Mr. Mueller stated the application was approved one year ago, for seventeen lots, and the property is
located on County Road 70. He explained the extension is requested due to poor market conditions and
the developer wants to take a fresh look at the project in the spring and decide, at that point, whether to
withdraw or continue. Bruce Barker, County Attorney, stated it may be better to state the developer can
come back before the Board when the market is ready, rather than stating next year. Mr. Mueller stated
the downside of that is that the project may sit on the shelf indefinitely; however, as an alternative, the
Board may specify a longer period of time than one year for an extension. Commissioner Rademacher
moved to approve said request. Seconded by Commissioner Jerke, the motion carried unanimously.
