Wilk ri GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Distinguished Budget Presentation Award PRESENTED TO Weld County Colorado For the Fiscal Year Beginning January 1, 2006 6644/ Strip-deass-. President Executive Director 1 ia Plc DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION PHONE (303)356-5000, EXT.4218 a FAX: (303)352-0242 915 10TH STREET P.O. BOX 758 GREELEY, COLORADO 80632 COLORADO September 1, 2006 Weld County Board of Commissioners 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 Board Members: The Weld County 2007 proposed budget for operations and capital outlay totals a gross amount of $171,021,971, with a net of$167,763,853 when interfund transfers are excluded. The Internal Service Funds total an additional$16,975,526. The budget has been prepared in accordance with your directives developed during the budget process. The budget is funded with revenue estimates of$104,960,668,anticipated fund balances of$28,134,000,and the maximum allowed property tax under Amendment One (TABOR) and the Weld County Home Rule Charter of$67,868,286. FINANCIAL PLAN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK The Weld County and Colorado economies continue to strengthen. Overall the state and local economies are faring well with stronger employment growth,low unemployment,and low inflation. In the last year Upstate Colorado Economic Development reported that 1,327 new primary sector jobs were created along with 1,955 other indirect jobs, for a total of 3,282 jobs in Weld County. Employment is expected to grow 2.6% in 2007, and the unemployment rate to stay below 5%. Inflation for Colorado is projected to be around 2.5% in 2007. Weld County had one of the fastest growing rates of population in the US in 2005-2006. The rate of growth is estimated to continue at 3% in 2007, especially in southwest Weld County. Some housing growth has slowed in the Greeley area with higher mortgage interest rates. The main risk for the Weld County economy is that the national economic recovery could stumble. The risks are higher interest rates,energy prices,and the conflicts in the Mideast. Interest rates and energy prices could especially impact consumer spending, which has been the driver for the national economy the last few years. The local and state economy could mirror any major shift in the national economy,either positive or negative. The federal deficit,although still a problem, has been reduced some as the economy grows, and tax revenues increase. The state and local government efforts to encourage business expansion and attraction of new business appear to be effective for the state's economy and job market. Employment indicators also point to a rebound and strengthening state economy. The energy industry is strong with high 3 levels of new exploration due to high energy prices. Manufacturing continues to grow in Colorado. Finally,tourism is recovering from the dramatic drop caused by September 11th and the recession. Weld County's local economy is performing well. The diversity of the local economy away from agriculture has made Weld County much more like the statewide economy and the metro-Denver area. In the last year, Weld County has seen major expansions at Boulder Scientific, Golden Aluminum,Swift,Cambium Learning,and TM Corporation. Owens-Illinois has opened a new bottle manufacturing plant. In addition to these major projects, a number of small new and existing companies are expanding in Weld County, especially in southwest Weld County. The level of capital investment in Weld County for new facilities and facility expansions bodes well as an indicator of business confidence in the region and should create an environment conducive to continued infrastructure development. FOR THE FUTURE There are a number of future issues and concerns that will be impacting Weld County's budget in 2007 and in subsequent fiscal years. The continued growth of the County will remain an issue in the coming years, especially as it relates to the ever-increasing demand for services. The issue of growth raises problems of land use allocation,management of the growth,transportation system development, and overall service capacity. As Weld County grows and changes there are issues of quality of life,and the economic development to supportthe quality of life that the citizens desire. Intergovernmental cooperation and coordination is critical as Weld County changes. This is especially true as Weld County is called upon to provide more municipal-type services,which can only be provided functionally and in an equitable manner through metropolitan or special districts. In the area of criminal justice and human services there are a number of emerging troubled areas. The jail population growth is outstripping the county's ability to keep up with the increases,even with the planned new jail expansion being accelerated by one year. Caseload for the Sheriff, District Attorney,and courts is growing at rate that stresses the capacity of these areas. Health and human service issues continue to present many demands with the new demographics of the county. Leadership from the County Commissioners,other elected officials and department heads is critical to come up with creative solutions to allocate the limited resources of the county to maximize service delivery to the citizens of Weld County. As the County grows and service levels increase, staffing requirements are correspondingly impacted. Historically, Weld County has maintained a very low FTE/population ratio. During the past several years,the workload has increased significantly in many departments. The staffing level in some departments has not kept pace with the growth of the County. This strain is beginning to be evident. Another area impacted by growth and increased staffing is the growing need for more facilities to house and accommodate the increased service demands, especially in the southern parts of the County. A new Southeast Weld County Services Center will open the last quarter of this year, but already there is need for more space at the Southwest Weld County Service Center. Another administration building was opened in April,2006,to meet the needs in the Greeley area. Court and jail facilities continue to put a high demand on capital resources in the County. The transportation infrastructure requirements of the County continue to increase due to aging and growth. The growth has put higher traffic counts on nearly every county road. The strategic road plan has been developed for the major arterials, but all roads are stressed due to growth in volume. The demand in this area will call for very creative solutions in the coming years to accommodate the added traffic that will be generated. Although the financial health of Weld County government is currently excellent,it is important to look to the future issues, possible problems and alternative solutions to those problems. Besides the 4 traditional role of budgeting to responsibly manage available current yearfunding,there must be a continued emphasis on long-term planning, recognition of the cumulative effects of individual decisions,an awareness of changing realities,flexibility,citizen input in setting priorities,and a focus of goals and objectives consistent with the core services philosophy and mission statement. The State of Colorado was granted some fiscal relief from theirfinancial problems with the passage of Referendum C in 2005. With the added revenues from Referendum C,the Legislature acted very responsibly in restoring many state and local program cuts, especially in the areas of health and human services. The state funding that will flow to counties will provide much needed relief in the health and human service programs. The federal budget and deficit will place additional strain on the state's and local government budgets. The federal government is not increasing,and is even reducing,funding in the domestic program areas. Therefore, the solutions to the federal budget problems, as they impact Weld County, will have to be solved locally. The awarding of federal grant dollars will become more competitive and will require Weld County to become more aggressive in pursuing federal grants. In response to the growth and reduced federal assistance, Weld County must continue to take a long-term view when examining the county's budget in 2007, and expand the budgetary horizon beyond the immediate issues facing the county. This will call for a thorough examination of all county programs, and prioritization to show each program's place in the big picture of providing essential services to the citizens of Weld County in the next five years and beyond. All programs must be reviewed in the 2007 budget process to achieve a continued level of efficiency in the county. GENERAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS Revenue for general government functions including General, Special Revenue, Capital Expenditures, Internal Service,and Enterprise Funds,totals$172,828,954 in 2007,an increase of 9.45%over 2006.

The program is totally supported by fees. The operation anticipates nearly 13,000 calls in 2007 and generated revenue of$7,642,187. Capital Expenditures Fund: The Capital Expenditures Fund accounts for various capital improvement projects for county buildings. The 2007 program is funded at $6,375,000, with $5,875,000 from property tax, $400,000 from capital expansion fees,and$100,000 from interest. Anticipated projects include $5,201,500 to pay off the Certificates of Participation for the jail, $200,000 fora new grader shed in Rockport,$300,000 for the Social Services Building parking lot, and $100,000 for special projects. No carry-over beginning fund balance is anticipated, and $573,500 ending reserve fund balance is anticipated at the end of 2007. Debt Administration: In 2006, the county continues to have no bonded indebtedness. With the passage of HB1579 in 1981, Section 30-35-201, C.R.S., now allows the debt ceiling to be three percent of the assessed valuation of the county. Thus,Weld County maintains over one hundred twenty-five million dollar allowable debt capacity in accordance with Colorado State statute. There 6 are Certificate of Participation Bond Issues for the construction of the Correctional Facility,totaling $5,201,500. There are funds in the Capital Expenditure Fund budget in 2007 to pay off the Certificates Of Participation on the call date of August 1, 2007. Cash Management: Cash temporarily idle during the year will be invested in time deposits ranging up to 180 days to maturity. Interest earned on investments of cash held by the County Treasurer will be recorded as revenue in the General Fund, with the exception of interest attributed to the Insurance Fund, Capital Expenditure Fund, Health Insurance Fund,Trust Funds,and the interest earned on certain deposits held for other taxing authorities. The amount of interest anticipated in 2007 is $2,889,000. The county's investment policy is to minimize credit and market risks while maintaining a competitive yield on its portfolio. Accordingly, deposits are either insured by federal depository insurance or collateralized. All collateral on deposits is held either by the government,its agent or a financial institution's trust department in the government's name. Risk Management: During 2007,Weld Countywill continue to be a member of Colorado Counties Casualty and Property Pool so all casualty insurance coverage is being provided via pooling with other Colorado counties. The pool offers full safety and risk management programs to minimize losses. Losses are funded on a self-insurance option basis. Worker's Compensation will be provided via a state approved self-insurance program. Mill Levy: The mill levy will be determined after the assessed value is finalized in December. The assessed value for the 2007 Budget is$4,184,249,430, which is up$573,215,860, or 16 percent over last year. All classes of property increased in assessed value for the year,except vacant land, which is down $6.8 million, or six percent; agricultural property which is down $629,950, or one percent; and State assessed property which is down $17.0 million, or four percent. The major increase is in oil and gas due to price and production being up. Oil and gas is up$457.2 million,or 36 percent; natural resources is up$747,110, or eight percent; industrial is up$27.2 million,or 18 percent; residential property is up $80.6 million, or eight percent; and commercial property is up $32.2 million,or six percent.There is an actual value increase of new construction of$1.189 billion, or nearly a 6.76 percent increase in actual value. Employee Compensation Pay: The 2007 budget reflects a salary adjustment of 3.5%,and a half of one percent increase in the employer's retirement contribution,fora total of 8.0 percent. Health insurance premiums are expected to increase 10-15%. In 2007, Weld County will stay with the Great West Healthcare consumer-driven health plan put in place in 2005. All other benefit plans stay the same in 2007. Beginning January 1,2007,in accordance with GASB 45,employers must account for the actuarial cost of post-employment benefits paid to retirees. Weld County's only program outside of the retirement program is the payment of health insurance benefits to retiree. The estimated actuarial amount that will need to be reserved to recognize the cost of the benefit in periods related to when services are received by the employer (Weld County), is $600,000 in 2007. This replaces the pay-as- you go accounting that was permitted prior to 2007. Fund Balances: County fund balances continue to remain very healthy, with an anticipated $28,134,000 to begin 2007. This remains at one of the highest levels in many years. The strong fund balance figures have been sparked by a strong local economy the last few years. The ending fund balances are projected at $15,028,030. However, the ending fund balance is actually understated because the Contingency Fund and Emergency Reserve Fund are appropriated,thus 7 not showing up in the ending fund balance figure. These two amounts are not anticipated to be spent in 2007,and if no emergencies or unforeseen events happen,the amounts should be in the ending fund balance. There is no fund balance earmarked in the 2007 budget. All other fund balance amounts are undesignated. With the above projection, ending fund balances should be $24,478,030. MAJOR FACTORS IMPACTING THE 2007 BUDGET The major factors impacting the 2007 budget continue to be related to the rapid growth occurring in Weld County. The growth impacts the criminal justice system, land use planning,transportation systems, and human services. The spin-off of growth impacts virtually every county department. Not only direct services, but the various support functions of the county, such as facilities and growing space needs. The county did receive some relief from the state's budget crisis with the passage of Referendum C, which allows the state to retain revenue above the TABOR spending limitation for five years. This resulted in many of the county's health and human services program cuts over the past four years to be restored. This helped the Social Services, Public Health and Juvenile Diversion budget programs. The General Fund is funded at the level of$65,080,418,up$4,937,716. Without salary adjustments, the budget for the general government functions is up $1,321,650. There was a decrease of $160,822 in election costs since 2007 is an off-year election year. Information Services increased $146,634 due to contracted cost-of-living changes and the addition of a technical support position. The District Attorney's budget is up$220,917, primarily due to the addition of 2.5 FTE($123,902) for the addition of a mid-year County Court division and an Office Tech position to be the Discovery Clerk to provide documents to defense counsel($37,259). Juvenile Diversion is up$34,432 due to a grant funded position. Planning is up$56,549 with the addition of a Long range Planner position. Other departments had normal inflationary increases. Public safety functions are up $2,391,893. The North Jail budget, which by far has the most significant impact on the 2007 budget, will continue to increase in 2008 and 2009. The budget's increased costs are driven by preparation in 2007 to train additional security and support staff in order to open the new Phase III of the jail that will add 374 beds. Forty-nine additional staff positions will be phased in over the twelve months of 2007,to insure they are in place for the opening of the new facility on January 1,2008. The Jail Bureau Chief has worked with Finance and Administration to develop a phased-in plan. The cost for new facility will be $1,207,494 in 2007, an additional $1,753,131 in 2008,and an additional$1,587,530 in 2009. When the 374 beds are fully operational, there will be 83 additional positions and an annual operational cost increase of$4,548,155 to cover staff, medical, and food costs. This will be offset by the savings of$1,396,125 from not having to pay to house inmates at other facilities outside Weld County. The net cost increase to operate Phase III of the jail will be$3,152,030 annually in 2007 dollars. In 2008 the jail will be staffed to use 252 of the 374 new beds, and then staffed to use all 374 new beds in 2009. The construction the facility by housing unit allows the gradual opening of housing units as they are needed. At the current incarceration rate, an additional phase of the jail may be needed within five years after the opening of Phase III in 2008. The Sheriff has requested the addition of a Deputy Bureau Chief ($99,530)and a .75 FTE for a Deputy II position to address the volume of Temporary Restraining Orders(TRO's), calls to the jail and work release facilities,and to perform Desk Officer($41,956) duties to provide better customer service as the scope and volume of activity continues to grow in the unit. The Sheriffs Office is requesting a significant change in the manner Code Enforcement and Animal Control units conduct business by combining the personnel assigned to both the Animal 8 Control Unit and the Code Enforcement unit to formulate a Sheriffs Office Ordinance Enforcement Unit and moving all personnel assigned to both units to full time status. The personnel services costs for personnel assigned to the Code Enforcement unit($33,456), plus the cost to increase to full-time ($48,436), have been included in this budget. Communication costs are up $298,738, primarily from personnel costs being up for salary adjustments due to cost-of-living increases ($77,251),and 4 additional dispatch positions($176,319). Community Correction contracts from the state are up$76,949. Pest and Weed is up$56,700 with the transfer of mowing vehicle costs to this unit from Public works. Other significant changes are the fact that beginning January 1,2007,in accordance with GASB 45, employers must account for the actuarial cost of post-employment benefits paid to retirees. Weld County's only program outside of the retirement program is the payment of health insurance benefits to retirees. The estimated actuarial amount that will need to be reserve to recognize the cost of the benefit in periods related to when services are received by the employer(Weld County),is$600,000 in 2007. This replaces the pay-as-you go accounting that was permitted prior to 2007. The Health Department subsidy is down $51,729, even with salary increases due to the state restoring per capita funding for counties. Finally,$1,404,932 is included fora 3.5%salary increase,the increase of retirement to 8.0%, and health insurance rate increases for 2007. In the area of Public Works Road Construction supplies increased$1,914,785 based on the Capital Improvement Plan. Asphalt purchases total$2,850,000. Contract truck hauling has been eliminated with the addition of 20 trucks in 2006. Chip seal projects will total$600,000,and sealing and crack fill projects will total$1,000,000. Dust control will be funded at a level of$320,000. $200,000 will be used to rehabilitate six bridges. Recycle in place projects for 10.6 miles will cost $400,000. Strategic Roads increased$3,738,000 to$7,887,000 for work to be completed on roads within the strategic corridor, specifically on Weld County Road 13. Right-of-Way Purchases total $66,000, based on the capital improvement plan. Bridge 87/42.5,over the South Platte River,is funded with a grant at$2,100,000. Design and utility work for Bridge 13/54A($335,000), and Bridge 27/66A ($250,000)will also be done in 2007. Other budget units are stable with the exception of those being impacted by fuel costs. On the revenue side of the budget property taxes are budgeted at $67,868,286, the maximum amount under the Weld County Home Rule Charter's 5% property tax limitation. Revenue from interest earnings due to the rising interest rates are anticipated to be up$1,250,000. Severance taxes are unchanged,and revenues from oil and gas leases are up$120,000. Building Inspection fees are unchanged. Charges for services are up$22,492. Community Corrections revenues are up $76,949. Planning and Building Inspection permit fees are only slightly changed. The Treasurer's fees are anticipated to be up$453,000 due to the volume of activity and conservative estimates in the past. Clerk and Recorder's fees are the same as the current year due to slowing motor vehicle sales and slow down in recording fees from new construction and mortgage refinancing activities. Other revenues are stable or only slightly changed. In the Public Works Fund, revenues for specific ownership tax is estimated to be$5,875,000, up $300,000. HUTF is down$400,000 at$7,900,000. Grant revenue is anticipated to be$1,500,000 from Energy Impact for Weld County Road 13 improvements. Other revenues include$440,000 from landfill impact fees, $1,028,000 from transportation impact fees, and $94,000 for off-site improvements for Pheasant Crest subdivision. Bridge grant revenues equal$2,148,000. A signal grant for SH52/WCR is$800,000. Permit revenues are$300,000. Reimbursement from Frederick for Weld County Road 13 will be$1,000,000;Larimer Countyfor Bridge 13/54A will be$25,000,and Adams County for design of Weld County Road 2 from Weld County Road 39 to Weld County Road 45 will be $100,000. Weld County Road 74 design reimbursement from Timnath will be 9 $500,000. Other revenues are stable with little change. Social Services revenues are up $2,426,373 with higher state allocations and restored state funding lost the last four years. Other revenues in the various funds are stable or only slightly changed. The 2007 Proposed Budget contains adequate resources to provide a level of service similar to 2006. The county will continue to focus on improving service and communication with our citizens within our resources. Demands in many areas continually exceed resources available. To serve the growing needs in the county, we will continue to explore possibilities for improved efficiency while maintaining excellence in service. Many uncertainties face county governments like Weld County, as they cope with growing populations with diverse needs, federal and state budget reductions, and managing of land use changes associated with a growing economy. Many tough decisions associated with implementation of programs, and how they are to be funded, must be dealt with by the Board of County Commissioners with citizen input. Hopefully,this budget document has allowed the Board to make those difficult decisions to maximize the value of the tax dollars of the citizens of Weld County. As a final note, I want to acknowledge again the hard work and spirit of cooperation manifested by the elected officials,department managers,and employees in recognizing the problems and issues confronting the county and responding with creativity and understanding. The county,as a whole, also recognizes the Weld County taxpayers and consumers of county services who provide the economic resources to the county, and we pledge our commitment to continue to provide the best in county services possible. Copies of all budget documents are available for the public at 915 10th Street,Room 317,Greeley, Colorado. More information can be found on Weld County's website at www.co.weld.co.us.

It is bordered on the north by Wyoming and Nebraska and on the south by the Denver metropolitan area. The third largest county in Colorado, Weld County has an area greater than that of Rhode Island, Delaware and the District of Columbia combined. The climate is dry and generally mild with warm summers, mild winters and a growing season of approximately 138 days. The land surface is fairly level in the east, with rolling prairies and low hills near the western border. Elevations in the county range from 4,400 to 5,000 feet. The South Platte River and its tributaries, the Cache la Poudre, Big Thompson, Little Thompson, Boulder, St. Vrain, and other smaller streams, flow into Weld County from the south and west, leaving the county on the east. POPULATION There are 31 incorporated towns in Weld County. The county seat and principal city, Greeley, is located in the west central part of the county and contains almost half the county's population. Generally, most of the remaining population resides within a 20 to 30 miles radius of Greeley; the northeastern part of the county is sparsely populated. HISTORY Major Stephen H. Long made an expedition to the area now known as Weld County in 1821. He reportedly said that the region would never be fit for human habitation and should remain forever the unmolested haunt of the native hunter, bison and jackal. In 1835 a government expedition came through the general area; the next year a member of that party, Lt. Lancaster Lupton, returned to establish a trading post located just north of the present town of Fort Lupton. In about 1837 Colonel Ceran St. Vrain established Fort St. Vrain; Fort Vasquez was built south of Platteville about 1840. The latter was rebuilt in the 1930's by the State Historical Society. The U.S. Congress took parts of the Territories of Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico and Utah to create the Territory of Colorado in 1861. All parts of Colorado lying east of Larimer County and north of the present Adams County were in the original Weld County, one of 17 counties established by the first territorial legislature in September, 1861. Weld County was named for Lucius Weld, the first territorial secretary; St. Vrain became the first county seat. During the first 16 years of Weld County's history the county - seat was moved from St. Vrain to Latham (three miles east of .\,.. .; the present Greeley) to Evans, to Greeley, to Evans again, and it„ent finally in 1877, returned to Greeley. �� • 1- A large segment of the Weld County region was settled by people of German descent who migrated from Russia in the early 1900's. Originally they came as railroad workers; many soon worked in the productive beet fields and eventually became prosperous landowners. Weld County's Spanish-surname population began to arrive during the mid 1920's as laborers for the sugar beet industry. 11 Weld County's sugar beet industry began with the building of sugar factories in Greeley and Eaton in 1902. In 1903 another was built in Windsor, followed in 1920 by one at Fort Lupton and another at Johnstown in 1926. LIVABILITY Weld County. Its livability is just one of the features that make it a better place to be. Abundant Colorado sunshine, low humidity, cool, summer nights and mild winters provide a climate people appreciate. Recreational opportunities are almost endless. Much of Weld County is within an hour's distance of the majestic Rocky Mountains. Sports fans don't have far to go to cheer for their favorite professional teams in Denver. Weld County's cultural assets include Centennial Village, an authentic recreation of pioneer life on the Colorado plains. The Meeker Museum in Greeley is a national historic site. Fort Vasquez In southern Weld County has an exciting history as an early Colorado trading post. The Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra is the oldest symphony orchestra west of the Mississippi. The University of Northern Colorado's Little Theatre of the Rockies is one of " _ - America's premier college dramatic organizations. - °_.„. North Colorado Medical Center is a leading public medical facility and the Northern Colorado Oncology Center is a major --- ` _-_ cancer treatment facility in Colorado. EDUCATION Education has always been an important part of life in Weld County where twelve school districts offer educational opportunities which have earned a reputation for quality. Greeley is the home of the University of Northern Colorado, a 4-year university offering bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees to 11,000 students. Aims Community College is a 2-year liberal arts and vocational college in Greeley with a second campus in Fort Lupton. With 4,004 square miles within its borders and a population of over 180,000, Weld County has plenty of room for growth. Its thirty-one incorporated towns offer a variety of lifestyles from urban to rural. To make certain Weld County maintains its quality of life, a comprehensive plan has been developed and implemented. The plan, simply stated, puts the right things in the right places. The result is that Weld County provides an ideal location for corporations, industry and businesses. Most importantly it's a nice place for people. 12 RESOURCES Fertile fields of green can be found in every part of the County, , „ z which ranks as the third leading agricultural area in the United States. Weld County is Colorado's leading producer of cattle, i"-` .:1'5")"4-&44'11;--/- ` ' '" grain and sugar beets. An abundance of water has been important to not only the agricultural community, but also to industrial development. / Greeley's supply, for example, includes reserves estimated at 100%. Future supply is equally impressive with such developments as the Windy Gap Project. Weld County is the second leading area in Colorado in the production of oil and gas. The county's many abundant resources provide a sound economic base and a secure future for the area. One of Weld County's most valuable resources is its labor force. The people resources provide a healthy labor climate for any corporation or industry. OPPORTUNITY Weld County offers unbounded opportunity for both employers and employees. The available services, recruitability, location, resources and livability make Weld County a desirable place in which to work and live. Weld County has one more important ingredient, as well, a positive attitude toward growth. We love being here and we'd love having you here, too. INDUSTRY r��r Numerous industrial sites are located throughout Weld County. Fully developed rail and non-rail parks; undeveloped , $ t parcels, many zoned and with rail utilities adjacent to the .o' property; a variety of industrial and commercial sites; and i availability of both new and renovated prime office space are indicative of this area's attitude toward growth. Convenient access to every type of supply artery facilitates the industrial possibilities in Weld County. Major employers who already call Weld County "home" include: KODAK SWIFT FOODS STATE FARM INSURANCE NORTHERN COLORADO MEDICAL CENTER HARSH INTERNATIONAL PLATTE VALLEY STEEL HENSEL-PHELPS CONSTRUCTION STARTEK BURRIS COMPANY, INC. METAL CONTAINER CORPORATION ROCHE CONSTRUCTORS RR DONNELLEY NORWEST 13 /P � drl IIIIk 2007 BUDGET PLAN The mission of Weld County is to provide responsive,efficient,and ethical government services to the people of Weld County. The budget process provides a comprehensive method of achieving that mission of Weld County and accountability to the citizens of Weld County. In addition, the budget can assure that the highest standards of stewardship have been adhered to in determining the amount and use of public resources. The goal of the budget process is to develop a financial operating plan which will provide for and insure the health, safety, and welfare of all residents of Weld County. Further,to facilitate the orderly and efficient delivery of county government services as prescribed by the Home Rule Charter, state statutes, federal and state mandates, and citizen input. Finally,the budget process should promote an organizational culture which fosters access to information and citizen awareness about Weld County. There are a number of future issues and concerns that will be impacting Weld County's budget in 2007 and subsequent fiscal years. The continued growth of the County will remain an issue in the coming years, especially as it relates to the ever-increasing demand for services. The issue of growth raises problems of land use allocation, management of the growth,transportation system development,and overall service capacity. As Weld County grows and changes,there are issues of quality of life and the economic development to support the quality of life that the citizens desire. Intergovernmental cooperation and coordination is critical as Weld County changes. This is especially true as Weld County is called upon to provide more municipal type services,that can only be provided functionally and in an equitable manner through metropolitan or special districts. In the area of criminal justice and human services there are a number of emerging troubled areas. The jail population growth is outstripping the county's ability to keep up with the increases,even with the planned new jail expansion being accelerated by one year. Caseloads for the Sheriff, District Attorney, and courts are growing at a rate that stresses the capacity of these areas. Health and human service issues continue to present many demands with the new demographics of the county. Leadership from the County Commissioners,other elected officials,and department heads is critical to come up with creative solutions to allocate the limited resources of the county to maximize service delivery to the citizens of Weld County. As the County grows and service levels increase, staffing requirements are correspondingly impacted. Historically, Weld County has maintained a very low FTE/population ratio. During the past several years,the workload has increased significantly in many departments. The staffing level in some departments has not kept pace with the growth of the County. This strain is beginning to be evident. Another area impacted by growth is the growing need for more facilities to house and accommodate the increased service demands, especially in the southern parts of the County. A new Southeast Weld County Services Center will open the last quarter of this year,but already there is need for more space at the Southwest Weld County Service Center. Another administration building was opened in April,2006, to meet the needs in the Greeley area. Court and jail facilities continue to put a high demand on capital resources in the County. The transportation infrastructure requirements of the County continue to increase due to aging and growth. The growth has put higher traffic counts on nearly every county road. The strategic road plan has been developed for the major arterials,but all roads are stressed due to growth in volume. The demand in this area will call for very creative solutions in the coming years to accommodate the added traffic which will be generated. 15 Although the financial health of Weld County government is currently excellent,it is important to look to the future issues, possible problems and alternative solutions to those problems. Besides the traditional role of budgeting to responsibly manage available current year funding;there must be a continued emphasis on long-term planning, recognition of the cumulative effects of individual decisions,an awareness of changing realities,flexibility,citizen input in setting priorities,and a focus of goals and objectives consistent with the core services philosophy and mission statement. The State of Colorado was granted some fiscal relief from its financial problems with the passage of Referendum C in 2005. With the added revenues from Referendum C,the Legislature acted very responsibly in restoring many State and local program cuts, especially in the areas of health and human services. The State funding that will flow to counties will provide much needed relief in the health and human service programs. The federal budget and deficit will place additional strain on the State's and local government budgets. The federal government is not increasing,and is even reducing,funding in the domestic program areas. Therefore, the solutions to the federal budget problems, as they impact Weld County, will have to be solved locally. The awarding of federal grant dollars will become more competitive and will require Weld County to become more aggressive in pursuing federal grants. In response to the growth and reduced federal assistance, Weld County must continue to take a long-term view when examining the county's budget in 2007, and expand the budgetary horizon beyond just the immediate issues facing the county. This will call for a thorough examination of all county programs, and prioritization to show each program's place in the big picture of providing essential services to the citizens of Weld County in the next five years and beyond. All programs must be reviewed in the 2007 budget process to achieve a continued level of efficiency in the county. The 2007 proposed budget process provides a comprehensive method of addressing issues faced by the County. Weld County managers must continue to find ways to reduce costs, increase program productivity, find new revenue sources, and raise revenues without increasing taxes beyond the TABOR and Home Rule Charter limits. Weld County government's trend of being more creative and innovative to make better use of resources--human,financial,and technological -- must continue. It is only through improved practices and approaches that services are maintained and public confidence in government is enhanced. The budget strategy uses proven methodologies of dealing with past budgets and looking at future strategic approaches. The budget is based upon the following assumptions and approaches: > No local property tax initiative will be approved by the voters. > Unless a change is legally mandated, the county's share of partnership programs will not increase, it will decrease wherever possible. Local dollars will not displace federal or state reductions. > Program managers and the public will be made aware of the proposed service reductions as soon as possible. > Early warning sessions will be held in September addressing budget issues identified early in the process. > All county departments and offices will receive a set target amount for 2007 before budget preparations begin. 16 > A target of ten percent off the 2006 budget base will be uniformly applied to all budget units. > No salary adjustments will be included in the requested budget. The Board will determine any salary adjustments above the 2006 level in the Final Budget process. Any Department Head or Elected Official justifying to the Board a higher salary for a class unique to that department or office should include the additional salary within the assigned target budget amount. > Fringe benefits will be left at the current level of benefit. > Outside agencies will be treated like county departments, since most provide contractual services. > Any 2007 classification upgrades will be treated like new position requests in the budget process,with the department funding any requests within the target amount. > New or expanded mandates will be absorbed within the 2007 target amount by all budget units. > Self-supporting budgets will float at the 2006 funding levels. > Additional program options outside the overall budget plan will be proposed for Board consideration. Staff will explore the options as directed by the Board, and these options will be topics of discussion at the public work sessions and hearings. > A review of all discretionary programs will be done by the Department Head or Elected Official and the Board. > There will not be any recommended increases in personnel in the recommended budget to the Board. Increased workload will be absorbed by existing personnel wherever possible through increased productivity. > Resources for new activities will come from increased productivity and termination of existing activities wherever possible. No new non-mandated programs will be proposed without proportionate cutbacks in other programs. > All user and service fees will be examined and recommendations made for increases or other adjustments to match the cost of providing such services. > As 2007 budget requests accommodate or are integrated with long-term program strategies, they will be highlighted. The budget strategy will permit Weld County to cope with the new fiscal and program challenges faced in 2007, while accomplishing a balanced budget. The 2007 budget must be structured to attempt, within available funds, to insure that: > Basic services are funded at adequate levels. > Revenue has been estimated at realistic levels. 17 > Reserves that afford protection for the future are funded. > Productivity improvement programs are continued. > Employee compensation levels are based upon realistic employment market considerations and within the county's ability to pay. > TABOR Amendment limits are adhered to in the budget. > Legislative and regulatory changes are accommodated. > GIS,e-government,and other technologies are employed in cost effective manners in the county. > Population growth and development is planned and accommodated. > Weld County must continue the initiatives required to foster area economic development and to improve the quality of life. 18 2007 BUDGET CALENDAR May 1 Board review of 2007 budget plan.

It can be both precise and unyielding as numbers tend to be, or as flexible as priority changes dictate. In the end, the goal of Weld County's budgeting process is to produce a"userfriendly'document,designed to enhance policy makers', managers', and citizens'understanding of major issues,resource choices,and impact of the total budget. The budget is not only a financial plan, but a policy document, operational guide, and communication device. As a financial plan,Weld County's budget includes all funds, presents a summary of historical and projected revenues and expenditures,describes major revenue sources,underlying assumptions and trends, and includes projected changes to fund balances. As a policy document, the budget includes a budget message articulating strategic priorities, describes budget and financial policies, and addresses longer-term concerns and issues. As an operations guide, the document includes an organizational chart(s), provides authorized personnel schedules, describes departmental services or functions, and includes goals and objectives. As a communications device, the budget includes a summary of budgetary issues, trends, and resource choices, explains the impact of other plans or planning processes, describes the preparation,review,and adoption process,includes a demographics or community profile section, and contains a table of contents and glossary of terms. The budget and management system begins with community assessments that take the form of formal assessments,such as those done by the Health Department and Social Services,surveys, town meetings,citizen input, and various forms of input from citizen advisory boards. Based upon the community assessments,policy formulation is done by analyzing community needs,developing county-wide goals, assessing prior year program performance, reviewing policy alternatives, establishing priorities,and fiscal policy. A spin off of the policy formulation is the creation of a capital improvements plan and long range plan. Program planning at the department level follows policyformulation. All departments assess their programs, explore alternatives, design and define existing and new programs, develop program objectives,and relate present operations to the programs planned. The budget is then based upon the program, performance,and periodic program review. This process allows for the allocation of resources by program area and multi-year projections. The programs are then evaluated on an on- going basis through program analysis, review of performance,and an examination and evaluation of alternatives. This input then cycles into the policy formation process for a new budget cycle. 21 The budget and management system is supported by the Banner Accounting System,fiscal control and cost accounting by program, and workload and performance management systems and reports. In summary,Weld County's budget process is virtually a year-around process,combining months of planning, analysis, program and policy review, and constant monitoring. The adopted budget asserts Weld County's commitment to meet or exceed the community's highest priority expectations at the lowest possible cost to citizens. In the end, the budget represents a balance between the political process represented by citizen input,policymakers,county departments and offices, and teamwork. The following two pages show the process graphically. 22 OVERVIEW OF BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM • a Can auk S - Y R9LICY `FORMULATION R z.Analyze Community Needs ` ' .

Analyze new or expanding services,using a common criteria for justification,aimed at identifying mandated and optional programs. 3. Rank, in priority order, all new and existing services which fall within a marginal range of funding. 4. Aggressively analyze major revenue sources. 5. Eliminate procedures which were not fully utilized in the decision making process of the budget. 6. Identify optional programs and service levels which may be reduced if necessary. 7. Continue refinement of the budget process with the key aspects of planning, evaluation, priority setting, rational resources allocation process, and creative management approaches. 8. Utilize the target budget approach. 9. Initiate a strategic planning process. 25 2007 GUIDELINES > There will be no recommended increases in personnel in the recommended budget to the Board. Increased workload should be absorbed by existing personnel wherever possible through increased productivity. > Resources for new activities should come from increased productivity and termination of existing activities wherever possible. No new non-mandated programs should be proposed without proportionate cutbacks in other programs. Any new programs will be highlighted as a policy issue for the Board. > All newly mandated program costs should be clearly identified for the Board. > Unless a change is legally mandated,the county's share of partnership programs should not be increased, the share should be decreased wherever possible. > Methods to maximize manpower avoidance or substitution should be encouraged by all departments through automation, productivity improvements, or cost cutting strategies. > Capital outlay expenses for equipment should only be recommended when the need has been fully justified, the useful life of equipment cannot be extended, and it has been determined that salvage equipment is unavailable for use. Vehicle replacement must be recommended by the Motor Pool Contract Administrator for consideration in the budget process. > Budgets are to be prepared on a program basis with submission in a program format, as well as in the normal line item format like 2006's budget presentation. > Salaries should be budgeted at the 2006 level. Any salary increase for a class unique to a department must be absorbed in target amounts. > All user and service fees should be examined and recommendations made for increases or other adjustments to match the cost of providing such services. > Those areas where increased personnel productivity has shown gains in services and/or reductions in cost should be identified. > Target budget amounts will be provided to each department and office. Any amount exceeding the target base will be competing fora small amount of unallocated funds during the budget hearing process in October. Therefore,all offices and departments should make concerted efforts to put together realistic programs and efforts within the target budget base amount,since the ability of the Board to fund beyond that level will be substantially restricted. Ranking forms will begin at 90% of target. 26 > In reviewing the 2007 budget request, Finance will use criteria developed in the Budget Manual to develop preliminary recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. Finance will ask the same basic questions that, hopefully, each of the departments asked regarding the evaluation of their program activities.

taken place in the last year. One of the most significant was an initiative with United Way to do a community needs assessment to mobilize the community to improve people's lives in Weld County. The initiative was to create a comprehensive report on the quality of life in Weld County in order to identify emerging community needs and to chart resources that exist to solve community problems. The purpose was to assure that community needs are properly identified so agencies and organizations can assure proper allocation of resources to interventions that improve community life in measurable ways. After working fora year,the group identified four components that will strengthen families and build self-sufficiency in Weld County. The four components are:achieving potential;financial well-being,community wellness,and strengthening community safety. Various community groups and local governments in Weld County are taking on these issues and developing actions plans. The comprehensive report entitled,"Weld County: Communities at a Crossroad" is available from United Way of Weld County. Weld County continues developing initiatives in the area of technology and e-govemment. The Weld County website at www.co.weld.co.us has been enhanced in a number of areas. The county budget and Comprehensive Annual Financial Report have been added to the website. Property taxes can now be paid on-line by taxpayers using ACH check transactions or credit cards. Meeting agendas, minutes, hearing notices,applications and forms from most departments are available on-line to public. The Health Department provides various health education resources. The Sheriffs Office has added a number of informational components. The property records available on the website have continued to be improved,along with the geographical information system data. E-recording is made available to title companies and the public to allow customers to electronically record documents via the internet. Vote centers were implemented with the 2006 election allowing voters to vote at any vote center in the county versus having to go to a specific precinct location. New election equipment was added that has touch screens for all tabulation equipment. The election equipment is HAVA compliant. The initiative to use bench marking and measurable performance standards to improve services in Weld County is continuing into its seventh year. The budget unit summaries for each budget contain this information for each county service. The performance measures are being used to determine whether the budget resources bring about the desired results and whether the resources are being used in an efficient and effective manner. Growth in the county continues to put an ever increasing demand on county services and the county's infrastructure. The growth has increased the use of county roads and created congestion on several county roadways that need to be mitigated. The character of many county roads has changed from rural to urban due to the traffic volume demanding a higher capacity and level of service. The county is responding by increasing road funding,developing a strategic road plan,and implementing a county-wide transportation impact fee for new development. The Board of Weld County Commissioners has developed and adopted a Strategic Road Plan. The goal of the plan is to identify,plan,and develop strategic corridors throughout Weld County that safely move large volumes of traffic between major transportation connections and populated areas. The Strategic Road Plan identified seven major corridors for future development over the next 20 to 25 years. A portion of the budget each year will be dedicated to the strategic roads. Even though the county has 37 increased funding and has imposed a county-wide transportation impact fee,additional investments will have to be made in the future to keep the transportation system at an acceptable service level. The first strategic road(Weld County Road 13)was constructed in 2006. The design and corridor studies for Weld County Road 49 have been started. In 2007 funds to construct additional sections of Weld County Road 13 are budgeted for the road and bridge. Weld County must continue to deal with the growth it is experiencing in Southwest Weld County, the Windsor area, and West Greeley. The growth not only impacts the transportation system as cited above,but also impacts the criminal justice system, land use planning,and human services. All these new demands from the growth pressures come at a time when the public's demand is to limit the size of government and its tax revenues, resulting in such issues as welfare reform, and the TABOR tax revenue and spending limitations. Weld County must respond with new and creative ways to deal with these issues in a way that is satisfactory to the citizens, as well as maintaining the high quality of life the citizens are accustomed to having in Weld County. In June, 2005, the county imposed a capital expansion impact fee and drainage/stormwater impact fee to require new growth to pay its own way. In the county's continuing goal of providing satellite locations to offer county services, the new Southeast Weld County Administration Building in Fort Lupton was opened in September, 2006. Weld County has continued to seek involvement and input from the municipalities and communities within Weld County. During the last year,staff and the County Commissioners held town meetings with representatives from all 31 city/town councils and interested public to seek involvement and input from the community. In addition, Weld County has over 30 advisory boards to provide input on specific issues. Weld County's interactive website was enhanced to disseminate information to, and receive feedback from, citizens. Weld County's local economy is performing well. The diversity of the local economy away from agriculture has made Weld County much more like the statewide economy and the metro-Denver area. In the last year, Weld County has seen major expansions at Boulder Scientific, Golden Aluminum,Swift,Cambium Learning,and TM Corporation. Owens-Illinois has opened a new bottle manufacturing plant. In addition to these major projects, a number of small new and existing companies are expanding in Weld County, especially in southwest Weld County. The level of capital investment in Weld County for new facilities and facility expansions bodes well as an indicator of business confidence in the region and should create an environment conducive to continues infrastructure development. The Upstate Colorado Economic Development organization,formerly the Greeley/Weld Economic Development Action Partnership(EDAP), is building upon the area's diverse heritage and strong work ethic,pursuing a comprehensive approach to economic development--creating opportunities, attracting new enterprises to the area, retaining those companies already here and helping businesses expand. This strategy supports development at the local level, while embracing a cooperative approach to marketing the entire northern Colorado region as Aplace©for companies to start up, grow, expand, and/or relocate. Upstate Colorado will meld the energies and entrepreneurial abilities found in the private sector with the resources and community values exemplified by the public sector. This cooperative spirit and working relationship empowers this partnership to make things happen. Why do we do it? To make Weld County a better place to live, work and play. 38 Finally, in the area of implementing strategic objectives, the Board of County Commissioners continues to ask each county department to review its regulations, policies, and procedures. The goal was to reduce or eliminate those regulations,policies,and procedures that hinder the county's ability to deliver services to its citizens and be more user friendly. A specific area was in the Department of Planning Services where the Commissioners encouraged the department to be more of an advocate for the applicant, rather than a regulator, in order to make the land use application process less burdensome on the applicant,while still protecting all the property rights of interested parties. Weld County continues to strive to be a community with a healthy and sustainable economy that creates wealth,preserves the quality of life and improves the standard of living for its area residents. The county's strategic goals and guiding principles are meant to facilitate and promote this community vision. 39 BUDGET POLICIES The basic budget policies of Weld County are stated in the following forms: • Budget Process • Program Policy Changes/Impacts • County Strategic Objectives • Revenue Policies and Assumptions • Policy Directions • Significant Budget and Accounting Policies • 2007 Budget Guidelines The overall County budget policies are reflected at the program level on each of the"Budget Unit Summary" sheets. The "Budget Unit Summary" sheets describe how the policies impact operations, service levels and/or finances at the program level. In addition, comments on the summaries explain implementation issues and provide objectives and workload data for monitoring purposes. The"Budget Unit Summary"has been structured as follows to accommodate the governing board and public reader: • Department Description • Resources • Summary of Changes • Objectives • Workload Measures • Staff Recommendations NOTE: In accordance with Article IV, Section 4-2(6)(b), the Director of Finance and Administration shall cause the policies adopted or approved by the Board of County Commissioners to be implemented in the county as required by the Board of County Commissioners and insure that the activities of the departments are consistent with the policies determined and set by the Board of County Commissioners. 40 LONG RANGE FINANCIAL POLICIES Stabilization Funds: Weld County maintains a prudent level of financial resources in the form of contingent and emergency reserves,plus adequate fund balances for cash flow,to protect against the need to reduce service levels or raise taxes and fees due to temporary revenue shortfalls or unpredicted one-time expenditures. See fund balance policy in policy section of the Budget Message for more details. Fees and Charges: Unless fees or charges are established by state law or contractually, Weld County will establish fees for goods and services at full cost recovery, including direct and indirect costs, where the user of the goods or services has the ability to pay. All fees will be reviewed periodically to insure that they are still appropriate. Fees will be available for the public and adopted by code in public meetings. Debt Issuance and Management: Debt shall only be used for capital expenditures that have a life expectancy greater than the repayment schedule of the debt. As a historical practice and policy, Weld County rarely uses debt financing and is a pay as you go county. Debt Level and Capacity: Weld County's debt level per Weld County's Home Rule Charter and state law can not exceed three percent of the current assessed value of the county. The current debt capacity is over $125 million. Use of One-Time Revenues: Weld County has a policy discouraging the use of one-time revenues for ongoing operational expenditures. The highest priority for one-time revenues will be to fund assets or other non-recurring expenditures, or to put the one-time revenues in a reserve fund. Balancing the Operating Budget: The State of Colorado's constitution requires all local governments to adopt a balanced budget annually. Balanced budget means expenditures cannot exceed available resources. No debt financing of the operational budget is permitted. Weld County's policy is that under no circumstances will Weld County adopt a budget that is not balanced, even if the constitutional requirement was lifted. Revenue Diversification: Weld County encourages a diversity of revenue sources in order to improve the County's ability to handle fluctuations in individual revenue sources year to year and long term. Due to the high percentage of oil and gas assessed values, Weld County also encourages the diversification of revenues for long range planning to minimize the dependence of the County's budget on oil and gas revenue fluctuations in production and price, and long range depletion of the resource in the County. Contingency Planning: Weld County supports a financial planning process that assesses the long-term financial implications of current and proposed operating and capital budgets, budget policies, cash management, and investment policies, programs and assumptions that will permit Weld County to deal with future contingencies in a reasonable and responsible way without adversely impacting County citizens. 41 REVENUE POLICIES AND ASSUMPTIONS The following revenue policies and assumptions have been used in the preparation of the 2007 budget. 1. Wherever possible,those receiving the benefits of a government service should pay for what they receive in full through current fees, charges,and other assumptions. 2. Continual search for new sources of revenue shall be made to diversify the County's financing plan. 3. The County shall seek the establishment of a diversified and stable revenue system to shelter the County from short run fluctuations in any one revenue source. 4. Estimated revenues are conservatively projected. 5. Proposed rate increases are based upon: A. Fee policies applicable to each activity. B. Related cost of the service provided. C. The impact of inflation in the provision of services. D. Equatability of comparable fees. 6. Programs funded by state and federal revenue sources shall be reduced or eliminated accordingly if state or federal revenues are reduced or eliminated. Local funding will be substituted onlyaftera full study by the Board and if the program has a high priority to satisfy a local need. 7. Revenue targeting for a specific program shall only be utilized whenever legally required and when a revenue source has been established for the sole purpose of providing a specific program. 8. Revenue from intergovernmental sources with a specific ending date shall not be projected beyond the date. 9.

(9.76% in 2007.) Other Taxes: Primarily, specific ownership taxes that grow with car registrations. Fees: Fees have been increased and new fees added, due to growth in area. However, in 2006 fees from the new capital expansion fee was over estimated. Project growth trend to continue with the adjustment in a realistic capital expansion fee. Intergovernmental: State and federal revenues have been growing at about 7% per year. However,in 2007 they jumped to 15.7%growth due to the state restoring health and human service funding levels which were cut during the last four years. Historical trend should resume in 2008. Licenses/Permits: Permit revenue growth will continue in 2007,due to new permits and phase of development. Should level out after 2007 with inflationary growth. Charges for Services: Revenue is predictable based on contracts for service and reimbursable projects. Slight drop in 2007, due to Human Services drop in transportation services. Internal Services: Predictable revenue based on stable usage. Change in 2005 was due to becoming self-insured for health care insurance. Increase in 2007 is for fuel costs in IGS Motor Pool. Paramedic Fees: Fees grow about 10% due to volume, and 10% due to rate increase. Very predictable. 2006 had a change in accounting for Medicaid/Medicare adjustments being treated as revenue adjustments versus uncollectible amounts. Net amount the same. Miscellaneous: Revenue predictable, even though some variation in specific years. Interest revenue is found in this category and increased significantly in 2007 due to higher interest rates. 45 POLICY DIRECTIONS - Incorporate Guiding Principles, Mission Statement, and Strategic Goals into the budget submission. Continue revenue maximization policy to support County services to users. Continue policy of identifying ways to minimize the reliance upon property tax funding. Advocate legislative positions. Recommend a revised compensation pay plan based upon annual salary survey data to keep County compensation competitive with the labor market. - Examine County programs on a continual basis to maximize productivity and maintain current service levels with current or reduced workforce. Examine County programs and services to prepare Weld County for continuing financial uncertainties and future limitations. - Utilize cost cutting/revenue raising strategies to hold down costs and support County services. This may be accomplished by: Organization assessment - Contraction in services Productivity improvement Reprivatization and contracting Automation - Energy conservation Administrative reorganization - Innovation/technological transfer Continue position sunset review process to assess the need for any vacated positions. - Utilize a target budget approach with the following features: - Identifies County's resource capacity All can see the targets and related reductions Identify proposed non-funding early - Allows time to accommodate reductions (employees) Offers support to managers to eliminate marginal services, less productive employees, etc. - Allows board discretion in allocating funds to unfunded programs in critical service areas Targets all offices, departments, and outside agencies - Better reflects County priorities Since limits are known,allows planning of alternative expenditure levels six months before fiscal year begins - Constrains growth in existing levels,so high priority requests can be granted while lower priority projects are cut 46 - Examine all user and service fees and make recommendations for increases or other adjustments to match the cost of providing such services. This is a follow-up we have been doing the last three years. Clearly identify all newly mandated program costs for the Board. - Continue the County's share of partnership programs, unless a change is legally mandated, and decrease the share wherever possible. Maximize manpower avoidance or substitution methods for all departments through automation, productivity improvements, or cost cutting strategies. Recommend capital outlay expenses for equipment only when the need has been fully justified,the useful life of equipment cannot be extended, and it has been determined that salvage equipment is unavailable for use. Vehicle replacement must be recommended by the Equipment Service Manager for consideration in the budget process. Continue to examine priorities,which services to provide,best way to deliver services,and most cost effective way to provide services within the constraints of TABOR. Minimize levels of management for departments within the County by flattening the organization and empowering employees to the maximum extent possible. 47 EXPLANATION OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDS GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES: Funds generally used to account for tax-supported activities.

Motor Vehicle Fund: This fund accounts for the revenue and costs generated by equipment and vehicles rented to the Public Works Fund and to various departments of other County funds. Insurance Fund: This fund accounts for all insurance costs for the County. The program is a combination of insured risks and protected self-insurance risks. Phone Services Fund: This fund accounts for all phone costs provided to the County and other outside agencies on a cost-reimbursement basis. Health Insurance Fund: This fund accounts for the self-insured health,dental,and vision plans offered County employees. Weld County Finance Corporation Fund: This fund accounts for the lease/purchase of county facilities. The only active lease is for the North Jail. 49 Enterprise Funds Enterprise funds are established to account for operations(a)that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises--where the intent of the governing body is that the costs(expenses, including depreciation)of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. Paramedic Services Fund: This fund accounts for all the rescue unit fees and costs associated with the operation of a County-wide paramedic service for the citizens of Weld County. 50 SIGNIFICANT BUDGET AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING BASIS: The Weld County budgetary procedure uses the following Basis of Accounting. Basis of Accounting refers to when revenue and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of Accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The governmental funds and expendable trust funds utilize the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method revenue is recorded in the year in which it becomes both measurable and available as net current assets. "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and"available"means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Revenue susceptible to accrual, that is, measurable and available to finance the County's operations,or of a material amount and not received at the normal time of receipt,primarily consists of 1)state highway users tax;2)property taxes,assessed in 2006 payable in 2007,and 3)various routinely provided services(ambulance and health department). Unbilled charges for services are recorded in the appropriate funds at year end. Expenditures are generally recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Proprietary funds follow the accrual Basis of Accounting whereby revenue is recognized in the year in which it is earned and becomes measurable. Expenses are recorded when liabilities are incurred. Due to Colorado legal requirements,capital expenses are budgeted and appropriated in the Proprietary Funds. BUDGET ADOPTION: An annual budget and appropriation ordinance is adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in accordance with the Colorado State Budget Act and Weld County Home Rule Charter. The budget is prepared on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for all governmental, proprietary and expendable trust funds. The accounting system is employed as a budgetary management control device during the year to monitor the individual departments(level of classification which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations). All annual appropriations lapse at year end. The Director of Finance and Administration is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within departments of each fund. Any revisions that alter the total appropriation for each department must be approved by the Board of County Commissioners through a supplemental appropriation ordinance. 51 AMENDMENT TO BUDGET PROCESS: Section 29-1-111.5, C. R. S., provides that, if during the fiscal year, the governing board deems it necessary, in view of the needs of the various offices or departments,it may transfer budgeted and appropriated monies from one or more spending agencies in the fund to one or more spending agencies in another fund and/or transfer budgeted appropriated monies between spending agencies within a fund. Section 29-1-111.6, C. R. S., provides that, if during the fiscal year, the governing body or any spending agency received unanticipated revenue or revenues not assured at the time of the adoption of the budget from any source other than the local government's property tax mill levy,the governing board of the local government may authorize the expenditure of these unanticipated or unassured funds by enacting a supplementary budget and appropriation. Supplementary budget and appropriations require a two-thirds majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners. PROPERTY TAXES: Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1. Taxes are levied no later than November 15 and are payable the following year in two installments on February28 and June 15,or in full on April 30. The county,through the Weld County Treasurer, bills and collects its own property taxes as well as property taxes for all school districts,cities and towns and special districts located within the county. In accordance with Section 14-7 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter, all ad valorem tax levies for county purposes,when applied to the total valuation for assessment of the county, shall be reduced so as to prohibit the levying of a greater amount of tax revenue than was levied from ad valorem taxation in the preceding year,plus five percent(5%),except to provide for the payment of bonds and interest. The Board of County Commissioners may submit the question of an increased levy to the County Council and, if in the opinion of a majority of the County Council,the county is in need of additional funds, the Council may grant an increased levy for the county in such amount as it deems appropriate, and the county is authorized to make such increased levy. Anyone capital project requiring a capital expenditure out of funds procured by ad valorem taxation equal to a three mill levyforthree years shall be prohibited unless approved by a majority vote of the qualified electors at a general or special election per Section 14-8 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter. With the passage of Amendment One(TABOR)effective November 4, 1992, the mill levy cannot be increased above the prior year mill levy, except by a vote of the people. In addition, the growth of property tax revenue cannot exceed the prior year amount plus inflation plus net new construction, without voter approval. 52 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT POLICY 1. Capita!Improvement Plan-A plan for capital expenditures to be incurred each year over a fixed period of several years (normally on a five year cycle) setting forth each capital project and identifying the expected fiscal year for each project and the anticipated revenues to finance those projects. 2. Capital Improvement Staff Committee - The Director of Finance and Administration develops a Long Range County-wide Capital Improvement Plan for all major capital expenditures within the County after surveying County-wide needs with program managers. The Board of County Commissioners is responsible for approving capital improvement policies, as well as approving capital improvement programming as a part of the annual budget. 3. Capital Assets- Capital assets are defined as land, improvements to land, easements, buildings, building improvements, vehicles, machinery, equipment, works of art and historical treasures, infrastructure,and all other tangible or intangible assets that are used in operations and that have initial useful lives extending beyond a single reporting period. 4. Capital Projects-Capital projects are defined as those major, non-recurring projects that have a time interval of at least three(3)years between such expenditures and have a total cost of at least $10,000. Purchases of real property and selected equipment may be exempted from these limitations. Examples of capital projects include: A. New and expanded physical facilities. B. Large scale rehabilitation and replacement facilities. C. Major equipment which has a relatively long period of usefulness. D. The cost of engineering or architectural studies for services related to a major public improvement. E. Acquisition of land and/or buildings. 5. Annual Action Program-Those capital improvement projects from the plan which have been identified by the Director of Finance and Administration and approved by the Board of County Commissioners for funding and implementation for each fiscal budget year. 6. Relationship Between Capital Funding and Operating Budget-Capital assets, which include property,plant equipment,and infrastructure assets(e.g.,roads,bridges and similar items,)are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type funds. Capital assets are defined by the County as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than$5,000 and a useful life of more than one year. All fixed assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. 53 The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. All reported capital assets, except for gravel roads, are depreciated. Improvements are depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets. Depreciation on all assets is provided on the straight-line basis(asset value divided by years of useful life) over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 20 - 50 years Improvements 20 years Infrastructure - Bridges 50 years Infrastructure - Roads 20 years Equipment 3 - 5 years Heavy Equipment 10 - 20 years GASB Statement 34 allows an alternative approach which would reflect a reasonable value of the asset and the cost incurred to maintain the service potential to locally established minimum standards in lieu of depreciation. To elect this option the County must develop and implement an asset management system which measures, at least every third year by class of asset, if the minimum standards are being maintained. The County has elected to use this alternative approach only for gravel roads. 54 INVESTMENT POLICY On March 5, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a comprehensive investment policy. A copy of the detailed investment policy can be obtained by contacting the Weld County Treasurer at(970)356-4000, Extension 3260. The following is a brief overview of the investment policy: The County Treasurer is responsible for the investment of all available monies. The statutes defining legal investments for Colorado counties are Sections 24-75-601 and 30-10-708, C.R.S. Investment priorities are (1) safety, (2) liquidity, and (3) yield. In compliance with statutes,deposits/investments are made only in"qualified"financial institutions, i.e., those which are federally insured by either FDIC. or FSLIC. Further, any deposit/investment amount in excess of $100,000 may only be made at institutions that are designated as public depositories by the state bank or savings and loan commissioners, Sections 11-10-118 and 11-47-118, C.R.S. Such designation occurs when acceptable collateral is pledged to secure the total deposit. Deposits/investments shall be made in the name of the treasurer in one or more state banks, national banks having their principal offices in this state, or in compliance with the provisions of Article 47 of Title 11,C.R.S. 1973,savings and loan associations having their principal offices in this state which have been approved and designated by written resolution by a majority of the Board of County Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners can designate, by resolution, an average annual rate of interest income to be paid to a specific fund or funds. All other interest income is deposited to the county general fund for the purpose of supplementing the county mill levythus reducing the amount of revenue required from property tax. The County maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds except the Pension Trust Fund. Several of the County's funds also hold investments on their own account. The cash and investments of the Pension Trust Fund are held separately from those of the other County funds. Deposits: At yearend,the estimated carrying amount of the County's deposits is$90.0 million. Of this amount, approximately$1 million will be covered by Federal deposit insurance, and the remainder was collateralized with securities held bythe pledging financial institution's trust departments or agents in the County's name. Investments: Statutes authorize the County to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, agencies, and instrumentalities,commercial paper,and repurchase agreements. The Pension Trust Fund is also authorized to invest in corporate bonds and mortgages. Interest revenue is projected on the basis of an average interest rate of 5.2 percent in 2007. 55 FUND BALANCE AND RESERVE POLICY Weld County considers maintenance of adequate operating reserves to be a prudent management tool and important factor in providing financial flexibility to the County. A financial reserve may be used to address unanticipated revenue shortfalls and unforeseen expenditures. The reserves provide a first line of defense against deficit spending and help maintain liquidity when budget downturns become inevitable. The appropriate size of such fund balance reserves depends on the potential viability of the County's revenues and expenses, as well as its working cash needs to handle seasonality of revenues or expenditures. At a minimum as required by Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution, Weld County will maintain an Emergency Reserve Fund to assist with the expenses of unforeseen emergencies in the amount which shall be no less than three percent of the fiscal year spending limit. The County will budget a year-end fund balance in each fund, other than the Contingent and Emergency Reserve Fund, sufficient to reduce the likelihood of its having to enter the short-term debt market to pay current operating expenditures. Annually, the County will, in total, maintain satisfactory levels of fund balance reserves and contingent/emergency reserves to insure a continued strong financial position within the County. The actual fund balance and reserve amounts will be reviewed and set annually by the Board of Weld County Commissioners at the time of the adoption of the annual budget. In formulating the fund balance reserve levels the County has considered the two most frequent methods of determining a public entity's adequate reserve level by allocating enough money to cover a specific number of days of operating expenses, or allocating a flat percentage of operating revenues. As a prudent financial standard in the former case,a minimum of one to two months of operating expenses should be considered and in the latter instance,a minimum level of five to ten percent should be targeted. In addition, the reserve should be defined as only the unreserved or undesignated portion of the fund balance, not the total fund balance that includes receivables, accrued items,encumbrances, inventories,and subsequent year's expenditures. The unreserved or undesignated fund balance is totally liquid and has the most financial flexibility. With the above guidance Weld County has adopted the target reserve fund balance to be in the range of eight to twelve percent of the budgeted expenses of the annual operating and capital funds in total, excluding internal service funds. 56 ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR BUDGET UNITS BUDGET UNIT RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL General Fund: Office of the Board Chairman, Board of County Commissioners County Attorney County Attorney Public Trustee Public Trustee Planning and Zoning Director, Planning Services Clerk to the Board Director, Finance and Administration Clerk and Recorder Clerk and Recorder Elections Clerk and Recorder Motor Vehicle Clerk and Recorder Treasurer Treasurer Assessor Assessor Maintenance of Building and Plant Director, Personnel/General Services County Council Chairman, County Council District Attorney District Attorney Victim Witness District Attorney Finance and Administration Director, Finance and Administration Accounting Controller Purchasing Director, Personnel/General Services Printing and Supply Director, Personnel/General Services Personnel Director, Personnel/General Services Computer Services Director, Finance and Administration Geographical Information System Director, Finance and Administration Capital Outlay Director, Finance and Administration Sheriff Sheriff Crime Control and Investigation Sheriff Regional Forensic Lab Sheriff 57 BUDGET UNIT RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL Drug Task Force Sheriff Traffic Enforcement Sheriff Communications - County-wide Director, Finance and Administration E-911 Administration Director, Finance and Administration Criminal Justice Information System Director, Finance and Administration Communications System Development Director, Finance and Administration Coroner Coroner Centennial Jail Sheriff North Jail Sheriff Community Corrections Chairman, Community Corrections Board Building Inspection Director, Planning Services Office of Emergency Management Sheriff County-wide Animal Control Sheriff Pest and Weed Control Director, Public Works West Nile Virus Program Director, Finance and Administration Economic Development Director, Finance and Administration Waste Water Management Director, Finance and Administration Engineering Director, Public Works Extension Service Extension Agent Veteran's Office Director, Personnel/General Services Airport Director, Finance and Administration Mental Health Director, Finance and Administration Child Advocacy Center Director, Finance and Administration Developmentally Disabled Director, Finance and Administration Seniors Program Director, Finance and Administration Missile Site Director, Personnel/General Services Parks and Trails Director, Finance and Administration Building Rents Director, Finance and Administration Non-Departmental Director, Finance and Administration 58 BUDGET UNIT RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL Community Agency Grants Director, Finance and Administration Island Grove Building Director, Finance and Administration County Fair Extension Agent Public Works Fund Director, Public Works Social Services Fund Director, Social Services Health Fund Director, Public Health and Environment Human Services Fund Director, Human Services Conservation Trust Fund Director, Finance and Administration Contingency Fund Director, Finance and Administration Emergency Reserve Fund Director, Finance and Administration Solid Waste Fund Director, Finance and Administration Capital Expenditure Fund Director, Finance and Administration Paramedic Fund Director, Paramedic Services Motor Pool Fund Director, Public Works Insurance Fund Director, Finance and Administration Phone Services Fund Director, Personnel/General Services Health Insurance Fund Director.

Without salary adjustments,the budget for general government functions is up$1,321,650. There was a decrease of $160,822 in election costs since 2007 is an off-year election year. Information Services increased $146,634 in costs due to contract cost of living changes, and the addition of a technical support position. The District Attorney's budget is up $220,917, primarily due to the addition of 2.5 FTE's ($123,902) for the addition of a County Court division in mid-year and an Office Tech position to be the Discovery Clerk to provide documents to defense counsel ($37,259). Juvenile Diversion is up $34,432 due to a grant funded position. Planning is up $56,549 with the addition of a Long Range Planner position. Other departments have normal inflationary increases. Public safety functions are up $2,391,893. The North Jail budget by far has the most significant impact on the 2007 budget and will continue to do so in 2008 and 2009. The budget's increased costs are driven by preparation in 2007 to get additional security and support staff trained and available to open the new Phase III of the jail that will add 374 beds. Forty-nine additional staff positions will be phased in over the twelve months of 2007, so they are in place to open the new facility on January 1, 2008. The Jail Bureau Chief has worked with Finance and Administration to develop a phased in plan. The cost for new facility will be $1,207,494 in 2007, an additional $1,753,131 in 2008, and an additional $ 1,587,530 in 2009. When the 374 beds are fully operational, there will be 83 additional positions and an annual operational cost increase of $4,548,155 to cover staff, medical, and food costs. This will be offset by the savings of$1,396,125 from not having to pay to house inmates at other facilities outside Weld County. The net cost increase to operate the Phase III of the jail will be$3,152,030 annually in 2007 dollars. In 2008 the jail will staff to use 252 of the 374 new beds, and then staff to use all 374 new beds in 2009. The construction of the facility by housing unit allows the gradual opening of housing units as they are needed. At the current incarceration rate, an additional phase of the jail may be needed within five years after opening Phase III in 2008. The Sheriff has requested the addition of a Deputy Bureau Chief ($99,530) and a .75 FTE for a Deputy II position to address the volume of Temporary Restraining Orders(TRO's), calls to the jail and work release facilities, and to perform Desk Officer ($41,956)duties to provide better customer service as the scope and volume of activity continues to grow in the unit. The Sheriffs Office is requesting a significant change in the manner Code Enforcement and Animal Control units conduct business by combining the personnel assigned to both the Animal Control Unit and the Code Enforcement unit to formulate a Sheriffs Office Ordinance Enforcement Unit and moving all personnel assigned to both units to full time status. The personnel services cost for personnel assigned to the Code Enforcement Unit($33,456), plus the cost to increase to full time ($48,436) have both been added to this budget. Communication costs are up $298,738, primarily from personnel costs increasing for salary adjustments due to cost-of-living increases ($77,251), and 4 additional dispatch positions ($176,319). Community Correction contracts from the state are up$76,949. Pest and Weed is up$56,700 with the transfer of mowing vehicle costs to this unit from Public Works. Other significant changes include a change in accounting because, beginning January 1, 2007, in accordance with GASB 45, employers must account for the actuarial cost of post-employment benefits paid to retirees. Weld County's only program outside of the retirement program is the payment of health insurance benefits to retiree. The estimated actuarial amount necessary to reserve to recognize the cost of the benefit in periods related to when services are received by the employer(Weld County)is$600,000 in 2007. This replaces the pay-as-you-go accounting that was permitted prior to 2007. The Health Department subsidy is down $51,729, even with salary increases,due to the state restoring per capita funding for counties. Finally,$1,404,932 is included for a 3.5% salary increase,the increase of retirement to 8.0%, and health insurance rate increases for 2007. 92 The available resources to the General Fund are $68,162,004 compared to $64,098,921 in 2006, up$4,063,083. Property taxes are budgeted at$45,538,583. Revenue from interest earnings due to the rising interest rates are anticipated to be up $1,250,000. Severance taxes are unchanged, and revenues from oil and gas leases are up $120,000. Building Inspection fees are unchanged. Charges for services are up$22,492. Community Corrections revenues are up$76,949. Planning and Building Inspection permit fees are only slightly changed. The Treasurer's fees are anticipated to be up $453,000 due to the volume of activity and conservative estimates in the past. Clerk and Recorder's fees are the same as the current year due to slowing motor vehicle sales and slow down in recording fees from new construction and mortgage refinancing activities. Other revenues are stable or only slightly changed. The beginning fund balance is anticipated to be $2,500,000 for 2007. An estimated ending fund balance of$3,081,586 is projected for year-end. The fund balance amount serves as an additional contingency amount during the fiscal year. In addition to the regular Contingency Fund, is the $4,000,000 Emergency Reserve Fund required under the TABOR Amendment, which passed in 1992. This fund balance amount is consistent with the anticipated ending fund balances for the last few years. It is prudent fiscal management for Weld County to maintain an anticipated fund balance of this level to respond to unforeseen needs of the citizens of Weld County in 2005 and future years. 93 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 r cc O Z N (-y (0 0 0 0 Co 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Co 0 0 0 (0 0- 0 0- 0) 0) in 0 0 0 0 CO CO 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 N O r O 0 0 0) (0 0) x 0 0 0 0 0 O N O O N 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 O r N O M co r r CO O M V O 0 0 01 Z O U) U) CO U) 0 0 0 0 1 V M U) O m 0) N NO W r CO N 0) O i N N Co NW V O O M U) CO QM (-- O 00 N U) N Ill Or-.

The upgrade of an Office Tech Ill to Office Tech IV for County Court is justified and recommended ($4,367)to maintain parity with other like county positions. 4. The Office Tech position to be the Discovery Clerk is justified based upon the added volume as indicated by the increase in revenue form the sale of the documents. Revenues are up $30,000 to offset the cost of$37,259. Recommend approval. 5. The request for an additional Deputy District Attomey III ($87,583) due to growth in workload is not recommended. 1.5 FTE Deputy District Attorney positions were added mid-year in 2006 with the additional judge, and 2.5 FTE Deputy District Attorney positions were added in 2006. Also, with the anticipated addition of another District Court Judge on July 1, 2007, a mid-year request for additional District Attorney Office staff can be anticipated. Policy issue. 6. An entry level investigator position ($59,259) is requested to participate in a program sponsored by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement(ICE),which trains and gives federal authorization to local law enforcement to investigate illegal aliens for federal prosecution because the ICE enforcement officers do not have the time or priority to do. The pros of this program is to relieve jail and court over crowding by allowing for the deportation of illegal aliens who violate laws, but are not a priority for ICE enforcement officers. The con is that the county is assuming a federal responsibility and not being compensated. An additional issue is that the District Attorney's Office was able to loan an Investigator position to the JAC from January to July in 2006 to serve as the JAC's Acting Executive Director. With the return of the position to duty in the District Attorney's Office the position could be assigned to this function, if it is a high priority of the office. Funds for the position are not in the recommended budget. Policy issue. 7. A Ford Escape Hybrid vehicle with lights, siren, and radio has been requested to replace the DA's vehicle in the Motor Pool budget($30,000). This is an upgrade of the traditional unmarked sedan vehicle provided. Difference in cost is $10,000. Policy issue.

These activities include office automation,clerical staff,training, uniforms,common office supplies, accounting for inmate funds, commissary accounting/distribution to inmates, inventory control, etc. Policy development and formulation of written directives are also key functions of the Sheriff and the staff assigned to this budget unit.

The major cost associated with uniforms and equipment for new Corrections Officers and Deputy Sheriffs is the actual cost of the required items. Uniforms and special items of equipment are necessary to safely equip Correctional Officers and Deputy Sheriffs who respond to emergencies,protect self and others,and manage inmate behavior while maintaining a safe and secure environment for the inmate population,staff and visitors inside the jail facility. The redesign with additional work cubicles in the Law Enforcement Administration Building is critical because it will allow more effective and efficient use of office space while improving productivity and communication. The potential outcome of creating and establishing a Physical Fitness Standard could decrease Workers' Compensation claims and make employees healthier, which could reduce insurance costs and increase employee longevity and productivity. The upgrades of the Court Technicians from grade 18 to grade 21 are not recommended. OBJECTIVES: 1)Promote effective and efficient delivery of services agency-wide; 2)Continue to compile complete training records agency wide for analysis of training; 3) Facilitate a working relationship for central records and communications with the Greeley Police; 4) Coordinate, and implement improvements with records and jail management computer system. 154 SHERIFF ADMINISTRATION (CONTINUED) 1000-21100 PERFORMANCE MEASURES ACTUAL ESTIMATED PROJECTED Work Outputs Civil Process Received 7,946 8,343 8,760 Commissary Orders Processed 10,419 11,148 11,705 Invoice/Requisitions Processed 618 649 681 Applicants Processed 618 649 681 Incoming Inmate Mail Processed 45,958 48,255 50,667 Efficiency Measures FTE's per 10,000/capita .885 .773 .707 Per capita cost(county support) $5.24 $5.51 $5.70 Effectiveness Measures(desired results) Civil Process Served 5,450 5,722 6,008 Percent Civil Process Served 68% 75% 75% Daily Average Incoming Inmate Mail 176 184 193 Applicants Hired 34 36 45 Average Miles driven per Civil Process 7 9 11 Complaints per 1,000 Civil Process Served 1 1 1 Complaints per 1,000 Commissary Orders 1 1 1 FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: The recommended budget does not include $5,000 for computers, since that will be determine by the IT Governance Committee, or$10,000 for office panels, which is budgeted in the Capital Expenditures budget. Utilities, in the amount of $2,500, was eliminated since utilities are budgeted in Buildings and Grounds. Finally, Uniforms were reduced $27,000 in the recommended budget. Based upon historical use and the cost to equip the new staff, $110,000 seems more than adequate. Total reduction in the recommended budget is $44,500. The upgrades of Court Technicians from grade 18 to grade 21 are not recommended. Job duties have not changed since the last upgrade was requested in 1997 in comparing the data submitted. BOARD ACTION: 155 BUDGET UNIT REQUEST SUMMARY AGENCY/DEPARTMENT NAME: SHERIFF'S OFFICE BUDGET UNIT TITLE AND NUMBER: Sheriff's Operations -- 1000-21200 DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION: Provides field response to reports of possible criminal activity or threat to general public safety in unincorporated areas of county and within municipalities contracting for law enforcement service.

Personnel was increased to adjust for requested positions and overtime to meet the demands of adequate supervision and operations for the Public Safety Bureau. Supplies have increased to update patrol unit equipment tied to safety issues and equipment that has exceeded it's useful life and is in need of replacement. Services reflect increases in contract services for the use of evidence storage. A large increase was added to vehicle depreciation, fuel, and repairs based on historical data and the jump in fuel prices. No capital equipment has been requested for 2007. 156 SHERIFF'S OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) 1000-21200 OBJECTIVES: 1) Involve community members more directly in prevention, investigation, and prosecution activities; 2) Integrate victim advocacy in role of deputy sheriff; 3) Allow deputies to become more self-directed as community facilitators, problem-solvers, and positive role models; 4) Maintain the safety of the public, employees, and prisoners; 5) Maintain open, active, honest communication internally and externally; 6) Meet statutory responsibilities of the Sheriff.

The budget includes cost increases in overtime and other line items to accommodate the additional requests for municipal patrol services. These costs are recovered from the towns, therefore, revenue from the towns is up $121,160. The Sheriff has again requested the addition of a Deputy Bureau Chief($99,530),as the scope and volume of activity continues to grow in the unit. The Bureau Chief manages 10 supervisors and 73.5 line personnel. With all of the criminal justice problem solving initiatives and growth in activity some of the duties of the Bureau Chief suffer due to lack of time. The success and future progress of the Operation Division could suffer if some relief to the position is not provided. As a result, a new position of Deputy Bureau Chief, similar to one added to the jail last year, is requested and recommended. Policy issue. The upgrades of two Office Tech III positions to Office Tech IV positions ($10,143) are not recommended. Based upon assigned duties, the Southwest Service Center position should be reclassified as SO Support Services Tech at grade 18. The other position request is not justified based on duties and assignments. The additional .75 FTE for a Deputy II position is needed to address the volume of Temporary Restraining Orders(TRO's), calls to the jail and work release facilities, and to perform Desk Officer duties to provide better customer service. Cost of the position is $41,956 (Grade 36, Step 5). Position is a service level increase, therefore a policy issue. BOARD ACTION: 158 BUDGET UNIT REQUEST SUMMARY AGENCY/DEPARTMENT NAME: SHERIFF'S OFFICE BUDGET UNIT TITLE AND NUMBER: Traffic Enforcement-- 1000-21210 DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION: Provide traffic enforcement on County roads, and public education on traffic safety.

In discussion with the Courts, the position was used there. The bulk of the work being done to enter and track citations is being done within the Sheriffs Office clerical staff. This half-time position is needed by the Sheriffs Office. The supply line should remain the same. These funds appear to be under-utilized during the current budget year, due to grant funds obtained through the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). There is no way to determine what funding will be available from CDOT while in the budget planning cycle. If CDOT does not fund projects for the traffic unit, this budget line will be required. An increase of $5,000 is requested to cover projected fuel cost increases. Capital was decreased by$15,000. Revenue will remain at $171,828; however, in the current fiscal year this amount will not be obtained due to officer shortages and a delay in implementing the data base to track the Model Traffic Code violations. This inhibited the full agency-wide implementation of the Model Traffic Code. OBJECTIVES: Conduct traffic enforcement and public education on traffic safety to reduce traffic accident and traffic fatalities in Weld County. 159 TRAFFIC CONTROL (CONTINUED) 1000-21210 PERFORMANCE MEASURES ACTUAL ESTIMATED PROJECTED Work Outputs Enforcement Hours 14,000 14,000 22,000 Alcohol Related Driving Arrest 321 424 500 Efficiency Measures FTE's per 10,000/capita 1.95 1.83 1.89 Per capita net cost $3.92 $3.50 $3.35 Effectiveness Measures (desired results) #of fatal crashes 42 26 24 #of total crashes 1,956 1,610 1,550 Percent Seatbelt Use 72% 73% 73% Percent Vehicles >10 Over Limits 8% 7% 6.5% Percent Vehicles Failing to Stop @ Signs 24% 24% 22% FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval.

The programs are in place and should allow the Traffic Enforcement Unit to achieve the level of fine revenues budgeted in 2007. Since it was started two years ago, the program has worked in reducing accidents and traffic fatalities in Weld County. BOARD ACTION: 160 BUDGET UNIT REQUEST SUMMARY AGENCY/DEPARTMENT NAME: SHERIFF'S OFFICE BUDGET UNIT TITLE AND NUMBER: Sheriffs Office Ordinance Enforcement-- 1000-21230 DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION: Provides limited enforcement of Weld County Ordinance 88, as amended, pertaining to dogs-at-large.

The personnel services costs for personnel assigned to the Code Enforcement Unit($33,456), plus the cost to increase to full-time ($48,436) have been added to this budget A one time increase of$8,400 is requested for small items of equipment to allow for the purchase of two 800 MHz pack-set radios to allow each employee in the Animal Control Unit to be assigned a radio. This would provide an increased amount of safety to each employee as they would have a radio that identified them to the dispatch center in an emergency situation and not just a"general" number. The unit currently shares two "general" coded pack-sets. An increase of $200 is necessary in general supplies, since there will be an impact due to an increased amount of coverage time with the Animal Control and Code Enforcement Unit moving to full time status. A $100 increase is requested for printing and duplicating since the Animal Control and Code Enforcement Unit is constantly trying to provide more community service oriented events to allow for low cost spay and neuter clinics. The unit intends to starting a low cost pet "micro-chipping" clinic in 2007, and would anticipate a need for an increase in printing and duplicating to advertise for the clinic. The Humane Society contract for 2007 will remain at last year's rate. In The Motor Pool budget a replacement vehicle is included, in the amount of$19,000. Revenues include a transfer of funds from the Solid Waste Unit of$81,892. 161 COUNTYWIDE ANIMAL CONTROL (CONTINUED) 1000-21230 OBJECTIVES: 1) Provide efficient and effective service within allocated resources.

The changes appear to be a creative way to improve both services, while doing it without a lot of additional costs. The budget unit in the Solid Waste Fund will show a transfer of$81,892 to cover the code enforcement costs previously done by staff in that budget unit. The line items and positions will be transferred to this budget beginning in 2007. The increases in services and supplies are justified.

The AFIS System, acquired in 2006, requires a maintenance agreement($9,065)to covers hardware and software. Equipment improvements include an essential gas chromatograph - mass spectrometer(GC-MS) upgrade to install an "inert ion source"combined with electronics and software upgrades. Agilent, the manufacturer of the GC-MS, will no longer support the current MS hardware for the purpose of maintenance agreements. To avoid relying on third parties for repair parts, to avoid service or repair delays, and to get increased sensitivity provided by the inert source, the upgrade is being requested ($16,500). 163 REGIONAL FORENSIC LABORATORY (CONTINUED) 1000-21260 OBJECTIVES: 1)Provide accurate,competent, and timely analysis of evidence to meet the needs of submitting agencies; and 2) Maintain ASCLD Laboratory certification.

The grant period is July 1st, 2006 to June 30th, 2007. Prior to this a VALE grant, in the approximate amount of$59,000, was received for the period of July 1st, 2005 to June 30th, 2006. This represents a $19,794 increase in revenue. The County does not currently have a written contract for services with the south County agencies to whom we provide advocacy services. We have requested and received monetary assistance from these agencies, in the amount of$13,200. The amount the amount to be received in 2007 is uncertain; however, based on past dollar amounts it is anticipated to be $9,000 in 2007. There have been several increases in Supplies, Services, Meetings, and Training, which are attributed to a better understanding of costs associated with the operation of the newly formed unit. "Supplies"have increased this year due to a request for two 800 MHz radios to increase advocate safety. "Services" have increased due to the need for four cell phones for use by the volunteers. This area of increase is directly covered by the VALE grant. The increase in Training and Meetings is $3,522 dollars, and is due to the associated cost of maintaining a volunteer unit that is needed in order to provide the quality of services that are appropriate. However, these costs were offset by the increase in revenue from the VALE grant. It is expected that there will be a decrease from $26,170 net county cost in 2006 to $14,376 net county cost in 2007. It is expected that VALE grants will continue to cover the majority of costs for operation, but as with any grant situation this is not guaranteed funds. OBJECTIVES: To assist victims of crimes with immediate counseling and referral to community agencies that help them cope with their loss or injury. 165 VICTIM ADVOCATE SERVICES (CONTINUED) 1000-21300 PERFORMANCE MEASURES ACTUAL ESTIMATED PROJECTED Work Outputs Number of victims and witnesses served 217 768 911 Number of VALE grants administered 1 1 1 Efficiency Measures FTE's per 10,000/capita .093 .090 .088 Per capita cost(county support) $0.031 $0.118 $0.063 Effectiveness Measures (desired results) Victims Assisted 124 376 383 Total VALENOCA grant funds awarded $59,000 $78,794 $75,000 Funds from Other Agencies $13,200 $9,000 $10,000 FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval.

We have been approved and are operating on the grant commencing October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006. We will be requesting another grant to operate the 12 month period commencing October 1, 2006. This grant has been operating for the past several years with the assistance of less than 20% federal funding. The Weld County Task Force Board has met and discussed impacts. The goal would be to work towards self funding from all Weld County agencies during the grant period in 2007 in preparing for the closing of the federal grant program. In 2006, Weld County increased funding to cover 50% of the assigned investigator with the goal of covering the full salary of the investigator in 2007. The above figures reflect the projected cost to the County anticipating grant approval for the 2006/2007 grant year. OBJECTIVES: 1) Identify drug dealers and habitual users; 2) Prosecute targeted individuals identified; 3) Establish an exchange of information with other law enforcement agencies. 167 DRUG TASK FORCE (CONTINUED) 1000-21410 PERFORMANCE MEASURES ACTUAL ESTIMATED PROJECTED Work Outputs Criminal Cases Opened 199 210 215 Drug Arrests 181 190 200 Search Warrants Executed 21 25 25 Cocaine Seizures (Kilos) 1.98 3.50 4.00 Methamphetamine Seizures (Pounds) 3.87 4.00 4.50 Marijuana Seizures (Pounds) 860 500 500 Meth Lab Seized 6 6 6 Efficiency Measures FTE's per 10,000/capita .046 .045 .044 Per capita cost(county support) $0.33 $0.52 $0.75 Effectiveness Measures(desired results) Criminal Cases per 1,000 Capita 1.08 1.05 1.05 FINANCE/ADMINISTRATIONRECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval.

The program has been an effective intergovernmental effort to deal with the drug problem in the County. The Drug Task force is working to becoming self-sufficient through other funding sources as the federal grant program ends in 2007. BOARD ACTION: 168 BUDGET UNIT REQUEST SUMMARY AGENCY/DEPARTMENT NAME: SHERIFF'S OFFICE BUDGET UNIT TITLE AND NUMBER: North Jail Complex-- 1000-24410 DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION: The North Jail is a secure adult detention facility for offenders awaiting adjudication or serving court sentences. Colorado Statutes require the Sheriff to receive and safely keep all adult prisoners lawfully committed and hold them in a clean,wholesome, safe, and well-maintained jail. Professional jail support services such as medical care,food preparation, and facility programming are provided to meet these mandates.

Security staff training and the practical limits of how many can be trained at one time require a phased hiring approach timed so operational capacity is available as soon as possible. Some personnel costs will eventually be offset by elimination of out-of-county housing costs and this approach defers the full impact of additional staff over multiple budget years. The increase in supplies is the direct result of having to procure supplies for additional capacity. Purchased services have increased because of medical costs. Medical costs have increased significantly for three reasons: 1)The low medical services bidder was still much higher than what was originally budgeted in 2006, 2)Outside medical costs for critical care inmates were much higher because of the duration of inpatient situations and increased frequency of use; and, 3)The increased cost of necessary psychotropic medications. The revenue projection increased primarily as the result of new fees assessed to inmates for the cost of admission and release. However, how these fees are used is specifically articulated by statute. OBJECTIVES: 1)Accept and lawfully hold prisoners in a safe, humane environment that provides opportunities for rehabilitation and victim reparation and that returns people to the community better, or no worse than they arrived; and, 2) Meet Sheriffs statutory duties as the Keeper of the Jail effectively and efficiently. 169 NORTH JAIL (CONTINUED) 1000-24410 COMBINED PERFORMANCE MEASURES FOR ALL OFFENDER SUPERVISION ACTUAL ESTIMATED PROJECTED Work Outputs Avg.

This budget unit, by far, has the most significant impact on the 2007 budget and will continue to do so in 2008 and 2009. The increased costs are driven by preparation in 2007 to get additional security and support staff trained and available to open Phase III of the jail, which will add 374 beds. Forty-nine additional staff positions will be phased in over the twelve months of 2007, so that they are in place to open the new facility on January 1, 2008. The Jail Bureau Chief has worked with Finance and Administration to develop a phased-in plan. The cost for the new facility will be$1,207,494 in 2007, an additional $1,753,131 in 2008, and an additional $1,587,530 in 2009. When the 374 beds are fully operational, there will be 83 additional positions and an annual operational cost increase of $4,548,155 to cover staff, medical, and food costs. This will be offset by savings of $1,396,125 currently being paid to house inmates at other facilities outside Weld County. The net cost increase to operate the Phase III of the jail will be $3,152,030 annually in 2007 dollars. In 2008, the jail will staff to use 252 of the 374 new beds, and then staff to use all 374 new beds in 2009. The construction of the facility by housing unit allows the gradual opening of housing units as they are needed. At the current incarceration rate, an additional phase of the jail may be needed within five years after the opening of Phase III in 2008. The upgrade of Programs Director (Grade 44) to Support Services Director (Grade 50) is recommended in light of the additional duties assigned to manage the food services and medical contract. BOARD ACTION: 171 BUDGET UNIT REQUEST SUMMARY AGENCY/DEPARTMENT NAME: SHERIFF'S OFFICE BUDGET UNIT TITLE AND NUMBER: Centennial Jail -- 1000-24420 DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION: Colorado Revised Statute 30-1-114(2) requires the Sheriff to assist the district attorney and the several courts of record in the county. 94 CV 419, Div I, 19th Judicial District, August 17, 1994, ordered the Sheriff to provide security for the Weld County Courthouse. This budget unit supports the resources to comply with all of these requirements. C.R.S. 18-1.3-106 allows for the operation of jail alternative programs to be used by the court in sentencing and C.R.S. 16-4-105 provides for the operation of a pre-trial supervision program.

The number of judges and use of courtrooms continues to expand predicating more resources. Supplies have increased primarily because both the Court Services and Alternative Programs Divisions need additional radio communication and small items of equipment to equip staff, as well as the full capacity at Work Release. Purchased Services has increased because food for Work Release clients had not been previously charged to Work Release but was carried by the North Jail. This reflects a more accurate cost distribution. The Alternative Programs Division has also requested a car for staff to perform client home and work-site checks. The revenue increase is due to a fee increase from $10 to $12 per day. Work Release is operating at near full capacity, including the part that was added in 2005. 172 CENTENNIAL JAIL (CONTINUED) 1000-24420 OBJECTIVES: 1) Meet Sheriffs statutory duties effectively and efficiently; and, 2) Provide effective and efficient community supervision alternatives to secure detention.

The additional judges added to the court system cause the need for the two additional personnel to serve the courts($145,964). The restructuring of costs for Work Release are not actually increases, but are the transfer of costs to this budget unit to better account for the cost by program.

Based upon the growing workload and additional volume of dispatching, the additional Dispatchers are justified. Three of the Dispatchers were paid for by the E911 Authority in 2006, with the understanding that the County and City would pick up the cost after 2006. The addition of a Dispatcher II is for supervision. The costs of the additional staff are split between the City of Greeley and Weld County based upon activity, per the original IGA. The contribution of $25,000 per year to CCNC for maintenance of the state 800 MHz controller system is a shift of state costs to local governments; however, it is still less than the county would have to pay to maintain its own system. Recommend approval. Other increases reflect inflationary trends.

Statutory authority exists to have a special mill levy for this purpose. The Board has advised Envision in the past that if they want an increased funding level they should organize a grassroots campaign to pass a special mill levy. Envision did sponsor a petition drive and had a ballot issue on the November 1, 2005, election for a dedicated one mill levy. The ballot issue was defeated (46% to 44%). It is not recommended to increase the funding level without a voter-approved mill levy for the developmentally disabled.
