Attorney,stated the Sheriffs Office had no concerns,therefore,he recommended approval. Les Weimers,
Sheriffs Office, stated a physical inspection of the licensed premises has been completed, and the only

from the establishment. Commissioner Garcia moved to approve said application for renewal and authorize
the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Jerke, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE FOR WELD COUNTY JAIL DIVERSION
PROJECT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Chair Long stated North Range Behavioral Health has
found the opportunity to apply for grant funds to assist with diversion of inmates within the Weld County Jail.
Jackie Kennedy, North Range Behavioral Health, stated the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services
Administration(SAMSA)may provide available federal grant funds;however,a government entity must apply
for the funds, in the amount of approximately$361,000.000 each year for three years. She stated the grant
will require a twenty-five percent match of non-federal dollars from within the community. She further stated
staff from North Range has been working with the District Attorney's Office,and other legal representatives,
to design a diversion program,and the opportunity of the grant funds was a determining factor in completing
the plan for the project. Ms. Kennedy stated approval of the grant requires that a plan for continuation be
in place after the grant period of three years. She suggested part of the matching funds to be utilized could
come from the savings associated with reducing the jail population, and a portion of jail booking fees. She
further stated the grant is estimated to serve a minimum of 50 people per year, and the goal is to serve
approximately 75 people per year, at an approximate cost per person of$5,560.00. Ms. Kennedy stated
the approximate cost per person is considered inexpensive compared to the costs of incarceration,and the
costs include in-patient and out-patient mental health care. She stated the 25 percent match will amount
to approximately $90,375.00, and six percent of the overall grant funds have been reserved for the
administrative costs of the County.
Mr.Warden stated six percent of the overall grant funds will be sufficient to cover the administrative costs
associated with the project. He further stated a law was passed two years ago that requires a separate
surcharge to be collected from inmates booked into the jail, and last year approximately$36,000.00 was
collected through this surcharge. He stated Rick Dill,Sheriffs Office,has been investigating an appropriate
way the collected funds may be utilized since they have to be used for mental health services. He stated
the collected surcharge funds may be utilized for the diversion project, and if the collected funds are not
applied to the project, the funds must be returned to the State of Colorado. He further stated the Sheriffs
Office expects the collected surcharges will increase in 2007 and subsequent years.
Kendall Alexander, Island Grove Regional Treatment Center,expressed his appreciation to Ms. Kennedy
for her organization and dedication to putting the diversion project together. He stated the project addresses
the needs for mental health services and substance abuse services within the community. He expressed
his support of the project, and urged the Commissioners to support the request for grant funds. He further
stated letters of support from other agencies within the County have been attached to the application.
Mr.Alexander stated the diversion project is an opportunity to address needs within the community,and to
divert offenders out of the overcrowded jail system. In response to Commissioner Jerke,Mr.Warden stated
the Sheriffs Office has already identified 51 inmates who meet the criteria for the program. He further
stated resources have been set aside to be utilized within the 2008 Budget to provide mental health services
and resources for the widespread methamphetamine abuse issues among inmates,and the Sheriffs Office
Minutes, March 21, 2007 2007-0739
Page 2 BC0016
is very supportive of the project. Chair Long stated the project will provide help for repeat offenders.
Ms. Kennedy stated the inmates expected to be served by this project have committed minor types of
crimes; however, they have been incarcerated numerous times due to mental health disorders or
substance abuse issues. She stated these types of inmates are not receiving the services they need,and
put a financial strain on the jail system. She further stated the goal of this project is provide an intervention
to help these inmates become productive citizens within the community.
In response to Commissioner Rademacher, Ms. Kennedy stated the project participants will be involved
with intensive services between five and thirty hours per week for the participants living individually, and
some participants will have 24-hour per day supervision through residential programs at Island Grove
Regional Treatment Center or North Range Behavioral Health. She further stated a diversion agreement
will be developed with each participant, in conjunction with the District Attorney's Office and each
participant's defense attorney. She stated the diversion agreement will outline consequences for
participants who do not follow through with the requirements of the project,and the consequences include
further charges of crimes committed while enrolled in the project. Ms. Kennedy stated the participants will
be closely supervised,and most likely will have better supervision than other offenders working through the
Probation Department. She stated participants will complete the analysis procedures to detect drug and/or
alcohol abuse, and will be monitored. She further stated an 80 percent correlation rate exists for inmates
who have substance abuse issues and mental health disorders; however,the project is designed to work
with inmates who struggle with only substance abuse issues or mental health disorders. She stated the
project will aim to meet the needs of the community and serve the participants which need intervention and
care.
In response to Mr. Warden, Ms. Kennedy stated most of the participants will receive services for a time
period of six to twelve months. She stated many of the participants will have fairly serious mental illness
disorders, and will eventually graduate to community-based treatments and less intensive services. She
further stated participants will be discharged when they are no longer in need of services. Further
responding to Mr.Warden,Ms. Kennedy stated aftera period of three months to complete staff training and
enact the service plan, the project should be able to absorb a caseload of approximately 45 participants.
Commissioner Garcia expressed his appreciation to Ms. Kennedy for her dedication to the project, and
stated he hopes the project will help to determine the root causes of recidivism within the jail population.
Wayne Maxwell, North Range Behavioral Health, stated a long history exists of trying to put together a
project such as this, and the project will have great payoff dividends. He stated the dividends will be both
financially to the community and for the individuals who will receive help to change their lives. He further
stated the symptoms of mental health disorders cause repeat offenses for incarceration,and dealing with
the problem on the front end will make a difference within the community. Commissioner Rademacher
moved to approve said application and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Garcia,
the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER DUST BLOWING COMPLAINT-CITY OF THORNTON: Chair Long stated a work session
has been held regarding the complaint,and the City of Thornton will first describe how it plans to rectify the
dust blowing situation and soil erosion problems. Mr. Barker stated a draft Resolution has been provided
for the Board,and pursuant to State statute,the Board shall make Findings of Fact in regards to the issue.
He shall stated the order may obligate the property owner to complete remedial measures to take care of
the dust blowing issues. He stated notice of the meeting was provided to adjacent property owners and the
City of Thornton, and notice was also provided to the property owners who attended the previous work
session. Mr. Barker stated a letter was received from Stu MacFarland, National Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS), and his letter provides a recommendation of remedial measures.
Minutes, March 21, 2007 2007-0739
Page 3 BC0016
Mark Koleber, Water Resources Manager, City of Thornton, stated he received a letter after the work
session took place, and the City is working with contractors to spread manure on the land to hold the soil
in place,based upon the recommendations from Mr.MacFarland. Mr. Koleber provided photographs of the
property, marked Exhibit A and B, and stated a majority of the land has been ripped and tilled, and
employees are working closely to meet the recommendations. He further stated a center strip of land had
signs of grass coming back, therefore, it was recommended that the specific area not be ripped or tilled.
He stated the City of Thornton has met the recommendations and requirements of the NRCS,and the City
is working to be a responsible landowner within Weld County. Mr. Koleber stated the City is proud of the
work completed by tenants of the land, and it is a goal of the City to keep the farms in agricultural
production. He stated at the request of Mr. Barker, he has prepared information to present to the Board,
and a packet of information has been added to the record. He further stated the location of the farms is east
of the Town of Pierce,adjacent to Weld County Road 88,and each farm is approximately 160 acres in size.
Mr. Koleber stated he has proceeded to mitigate the problems occurring on the farms, and a cover crop is
planned to be planted within the next few weeks to keep the soil in place until Fall 2007. He stated natural
grass seed will be planted in Fall 2007,and as the grass grows over a five-year establishment time period,
weed control will be maintained. He further stated he has made contact with adjacent property owners to
the south, Craig and Liza Liftee, and Lana Cozad, and a contractor is working with the property owners to
mediate the dust problem accumulating on their properties. He stated the contractor is working to remove
the dust from the properties, and is providing a way to address other impacts. He further stated the
contractor will complete improvements on the borrow ditches and the adjacent roads.
Mr. Koleber stated he has included an excerpt of the water rights decree for the property and the
revegetation requirements, and the County Attorney has been provided with a full copy of the decree,with
additional exhibits. He stated revegetation must be achieved on the farms before the City may use the
water for municipal purposes; however,the water does not have to remain on the farm. He stated he has
received information from revegetation professionals that it is best to not irrigate the dryland grass due to
possible drought conditions. He clarified the water will not be used for municipal purposes until the
revegetation process is complete. Mr. Koleber stated the City must establish a ground cover for the land
once the water is removed, and the options include dryland farming practices, if it is a viable option. He
further stated the City is focusing on the option of establishing natural grasses or other suitable dryland
ground cover since the grasses will not suffer in drought conditions. He stated the determination of the land
drying up is determined by the NRCS and the Soil Conservation Service,and the revegetation process lasts
until the last of the farmland has been taken out of production, or ground cover is established, plus an
additional three-year period. He further stated the City does not anticipate removing the farms from
production until after the year 2050, therefore, the revegetation process is a long-term obligation.
Mr. Koleber stated the time line of the revegetation process is a five-year process, which starts with the
harvesting of the final irrigated crop, and includes planting the cover crop and managing weeds until the
cover crop is established and certifiable by the NRCS. He stated the City is currently researching the
grazing practices,and understands that a problem has existed on the farms. He further stated the City has
been working with the tenant to address the problems; however, a suitable response was not previously
identified. He stated the City is researching options for the future as to how to address issues concerning
forcing the tenant to remove animals from over-grazed land. Mr. Koleber stated the City of Thornton has
been paying voluntary payments to organizations within Weld County,totaling over$2.66 million,and the
City has worked with local producers to identify areas for expansion. He stated the City has also arranged
the sale of properties to several Districts within Weld County to help with expansion needs,and 38,000 acre
feet of water have been leased to the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District to augment wells within
the South Platte Basin. (CHANGED TO TAPE#2007-07). He further stated the City is continuing to lease
the farmland to local farmers,which is an important contribution to Weld County's economy. Mr. Koleber
extended an invitation for the Board to tour the operating farms and revegetation efforts.
Minutes, March 21, 2007 2007-0739
Page 4 BC0016
In response to Commissioner Jerke, Brian Foss, Farms Operations Administrator,City of Thornton,stated
animals may be placed on the land for grazing purposes once NRCS certification has been achieved,which
is a minimum of five years. He stated certification is dependant upon the establishment of the native
grasses, weed control, and moisture levels. He further stated once animals are allowed to graze, the
grazing will be limited and highly managed. Responding to Commissioner Garcia, Mr. Foss stated the
previous lease with the tenant did not allow for the removal of the animals in a timely manner since the
tenant was current with all payments. He further stated once an emergency situation was determined, he
was allowed to remove the animals from the property,and the City is researching different leasing practices
to avoid this situation in the future. Mr. Koleber stated most of the tenants have been great stewards of the
land; however, the City is working to ensure a situation like this does not happen again. In response to
Commissioner Garcia,Mr. Koleber stated the water associated with the property is forwarded along to other
users along the storage company ditch,and storage of water for the City of Thornton's use is not occurring
at this time.
Andrew Dennis,surrounding property owner, stated he owns approximately 80 acres of land adjacent to
Weld County Roads 96 and 43, and his land is having the same problem as the lands identified in this
complaint. He submitted photographs depicting the overgrazing and tumbleweed problems on his property
as a result of the City's negligence. Mr. Barker stated Mr. Dennis owns a separate property,therefore,the
Board may accept the photographs as a separate dust blowing complaint; however, the issue must be
addressed separately. Chair Long expressed his appreciation to Mr. Dennis for his complaint, and assured
him that County staff will research his complaint separately.
Charles Tucker, surrounding property owner, stated it appears that the City of Thornton is making efforts
to correct the problem; however,the City is in violation of a court order requiring it to obtain vegetation on
the land so that surrounding property owners are not affected. He stated he would like to see the City
submit an assurance to ensure this situation does not happen again, and the County should provide
oversight. He further stated he appreciates that the City is taking steps to correct the problem; however,
planting dryland grasses will not solve the problem, and more dirt blowing will occur. In response to
Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Barker stated the Board may issue an order that the City of Thornton must
complete specific actions by a specific date,and then staff may ensure that the actions are completed. He
further stated the County does not have oversight capability of the property itself; however,the NRCS may
complete oversight of the property. Commissioner Jerke stated it is unreasonable to expect the City to
complete certain actions by a specified date since nature determines the growth of the vegetation. Mr.
Tucker stated the hard part of the dryland farming is the lack of current moisture.
In response to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Barker stated the Board may request the NRCS,as a courtesy,
to complete inspections of the property and provide periodic reports on a bi-annual basis. He clarified the
Board may request the NRCS to complete the inspections as a separate letter, and it does not have to be
a part of the Resolution. Chair Long stated he would like to find a way for the Board to be able to be made
aware of the long-term progress of the situation. Responding to Chair Long,Mr. Barker stated State statute
is very specific regarding this type of issue, and the Board is only allowed to act on a property in which an
emergency is occurring for a specific incident only. He further stated the Board does not have the authority
to keep a running update on the dust blowing complaints of a property. Chair Long requested that
Mr.Tucker voluntarily provide updates for the Board. In response to Mr.Tucker, Mr. Barker stated the dust
blowing complaint is not recognized as a matter of State interest under 1041 Regulations; however, it
addressed,through the dust blowing statutes,that a property owner who has suffered damage has a private
right of action against the property owner of the property from which the dust developed. Responding to
Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Barker stated the Board would not be involved in a private right of action.
Craig Liftee, along with his wife, Liza Liftee, surrounding property owners,stated he is not sure what he is
supposed to do with the pile of dust in his yard. He stated representatives from the City of Thornton visited
Minutes, March 21, 2007 2007-0739
Page 5 BC0016
his property the day after the work session was held, and he was requested to obtain bids to clean up the
property. In response to Mr. Liftee, Chair Long stated the County cannot interfere with the private action
offered by the City of Thornton, since the County does not have jurisdiction over private property issues.
Responding to Ms. Liftee, Chair Long stated each individual property owner must work to reach an
agreement with the City of Thornton, and if the terms of the agreement are not met, each property owner
must seek legal action privately. Commissioner Jerke stated property owners have the right to contact the
press as a way to place pressure on a neighbor to have a situation corrected. He further stated he
understands that a good relationship with neighboring property owners is beneficial. In response to Mr.
Dennis,Mr. Koleber provided contact information for the City of Thornton so that other surrounding property
owners could contact him directly about any additional complaints or issues. Chair Long reiterated to Mr.
Dennis that the Board will initiate a separate complaint for his property,according to the procedure set forth
by State statute.
Mr. Koleber stated the City of Thornton would be happy to provide periodic updates to the Board regarding
the progress of the dust complaints. He stated the City owns several parcels of property to the north which
have been under revegetation for several years, and these pastures do not experience dust blowing
problems. He clarified that the City is willing to work with surrounding property owners, and provide
knowledgeable updates to the Board and other residents of the County.
Mr. Barker stated the Board may determine the five Findings of Fact exist, or the Board may dismiss the
complaint,which means the complaint, as an emergency measure, has been satisfied by the work of the
City of Thornton. Responding to Chair Long,Mr. Barker stated should the Board make the Findings of Fact,
the Board will have to order that the remedial measures take place. In response to Commissioner Garcia,
Mr. Barker stated the Town of Thornton has been in control of the property for more than one year,as stated
in Findings of Fact#3. Chair Long stated it appears that a remedy is in place, and the five Findings of Fact
have been resolved. Mr. Barker explained State statute mandates that the remedial measures take place,
and the order cannot enforce any other actions than what has already taken place in this situation. He
stated the order will not affect measures taken by the City of Thornton in the future. Commissioner Jerke
stated some of the remedial measures are future measures, including planting grass when appropriate and
other techniques to hold the soil. He stated the situation has been immediately remediated; however,
roughing the soil is a long-term process. In response to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Barker stated State
statute only allows the Board to act upon an emergency situation and orders a property owner to complete
remedial measures. He further stated the Statute is difficult to deal with since the problem is long-term;
however, the Board does not have the authority to make a long-term order.
In response to CommissionerJerke,Mr. Barker stated the Board may make a request within the Resolution
that the NRCS provide updates of the revegetation of the properties on a bi-annual basis. Chair Long
concurred with Commissioner Jerke regarding requesting the NRCS to provide bi-annual updates on the
properties. Mr. Barker stated if road right-of-way becomes covered with dirt, the County may also initiate
a complaint against the responsible property owner. He clarified that the Board cannot force the NRCS to
provide updates;however,the N RCS may voluntarily provide the information if requested. He stated he will
draft language to add to the Resolution, requesting that the NRCS provide updates on the process of the
revegetation.
Commissioner Garcia stated he has reviewed the five Findings of Fact,and he believes an ongoing pattern
of an emergency situation has occurred and all five Findings of Fact are valid. Responding to
Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Barker stated the Board must vote to make all five Findings of Fact. Chair Long
stated the City of Thornton is already completing the recommendations from the NRCS, therefore, the
Findings of Fact have already been remedied. Commissioner Garcia stated making the five Findings of
Fact will ensure that the City of Thornton must adhere to the treatment plan. Mr. Barker stated the Board
may make the determination that the Findings of Fact exist, and make an additional finding that the
Minutes, March 21, 2007 2007-0739
Page 6 BC0016
recommendations are already happening;therefore, no order is necessary. He further stated the Findings
of Fact will not be substantive without an Order. Chair Long clarified that the Order is mandated for a
property owner who is reluctant to provide remedial measures on its property,and this is not the case for
the City of Thornton since they are willing to provide remediation. CommissionerJerke stated the Findings
of Fact are accurate,and an emergency exists. He further stated the City of Thornton has been taking care
of the issues; however, the issue needs to be formally recognized and the property owner needs to be
ordered to provide relief from the emergency situation. Chair Long stated he concurred with Commissioner
Jerke and Commissioner Rademacher stated the request for the N RCS to provide periodic updates on the
property would be beneficial. In response to Commissioner Rademacher, Mr. Barker stated if an order is
not issued to correct the problem,the issue would have to be treated as a new complaint in order to come
before the Board again. He further stated State statute does not give the Board the ability to monitor the
complaint long-term;the Board may only review separate complaints. Commissioner Rademacher stated
if the complaint is dismissed,the surrounding property owners could initiate another complaint. In response
to CommissionerJerke, Mr. Barker stated the request for periodic updates will be placed in the Resolution,
and he will draft the language. CommissionerJerke moved to include all five Findings of Fact, pursuant to
Section 35-72-103(1), C.R.S.,and that the property must be roughened to prevent soil from blowing. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Garcia,and the motion carried unanimously. Chair Long assured
other property owners in the audience that future dust blowing complaints will be taken seriously,and dealt
with as the information is provided to the Board.
CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO BYLAWS-WELD COUNTY REGIONAL COMMUNICATIONS ADVISORY
BOARD: Mr. Barker stated the amendment regards membership qualification, and the language will be
modified to state that three representatives will be selected to serve from the Fire Protection Districts
compiled in Zone A and Zone B. He stated the language in B.1.k will be modified to state "Only one
representative per entity may serve on the Board at the same time." He further stated the Board typically
approves any changes to the bylaws for advisory boards. Commissioner Garcia moved to approve said
amendment. Seconded by Commissioner Jerke, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF WCR 122 BETWEEN THE TOWN OF GROVER AND
WCR 103: Pat Persichino, Director of Public Works, stated the Department of Public Works staff recently
held a third meeting with Cedar Creek Wind Energy, and it was determined at the meeting that Weld County
Road 122 is now impassible and dangerous for motorists. He stated Cedar Creek Wind Energy has done
a good job maintaining the road and providing grading work; however,there are soft spots in the road which
would severely impact smaller vehicles. He further stated the Board has the right to close the road until the
standard established by the County is being maintained on the road by the company. Mr. Persichino stated
Cedar Creek Wind Energy has agreed to close their operations for approximately six days,to begin repair
work on Weld County Road 122. He stated the work will consist of digging up the pumped areas and
replacing with dry materials to make the road safe for vehicles. He further stated the road will be closed
between Weld County Roads 89 and 103,and the alternate route to be utilized is the originally established
haul route. In response to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Persichino stated the road will be closed only for
commercial traffic, and residents along the road will still have access to their properties. He further stated
the closure is not expected to exceed two weeks. Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve said
temporary closure. Seconded by Commissioner Jerke, the motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING:
CONSIDER VACATION OF USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT#1093-STEVEN AND LORI STEERMAN:
Brad Mueller, Department of Planning Services, stated current property owner, Jose Bermudez, is
requesting vacation of Use by Special Review Permit #1093, which was approved by the Board
November 1, 1995. He stated the property is located within the Country Estates Subdivision, and the
taxidermy business is no longer located on the site. Responding to Commissioner Jerke,Mr. Mueller stated
Steven and Lori Steerman were the previous owners of the property,and the Use by Special Review Permit

was granted to them. Commissioner Jerke moved to approve said vacation. Seconded by Commissioner
Rademacher, the motion carried unanimously.

recommends approval of a partial release of collateral, in the amount of$26,195.30. CommissionerJerke
moved to approve said partial cancellation and release of collateral. Seconded by Commissioner Garcia,
the motion carried unanimously.
