REPORTS

Pat elaborated on the discussion held with Lynn Keirnes, Longmont Landfill .
Commissioner John Martin related to the council that he and Commissioner
Chuck Carlson had been out observing some of the county roads. There was a brief
discussion concerning county roads.
Ralph Waldo reported that he had a complaint phoned in to him regarding
the problem with parking near the Health Department now that the Human 2esources
department is in that building. Commissioner Martin gave some alternatives that
are being contemplated to solve the problem.
The Commissioner asked if there were any other problems he could help out on.
Councilman Howard Foster stated that there. is a dump on his land he would like to
see closed and wondered how to go about dog"this. Mr. Martin found out the location
of the dump and said he would bring it to the attention of the proper authorities in
the Health Department.
Ralph Waldo mentioned that he feels the council should get in personal contact
with commissioners from Class II counties to see how much time they put in on
commissioner work; if, in fact, they don't work full time at it even though they
are designated part-time. It was his opinion that there needs to be a justifiable
reason to increase commissioner salaries.
Bob Martin questioned whether Weld County commissioners need to be full time,
and if as many as five are necessary. De Ann Emerson responded that a county the
size of Weld needs five commissioners, especially if we want them out in the public.

Robert Ray, and the contract with Hyland Associates. Councilman Bob Martin made a
motion to resubmit the performance auditor contract to the commissioners along
with a copy of the council ' s attorney' s opinions regarding the investigation of the

commissioners when hiring a performance auditor, asking the commissioners to remove
the conditions put on the contract when it was approved. Motion seconded by Pat
