Dear Ms. Martin:
This letter is in response to your letter of May 26, 1982, addressed to
Mr. John Martin, County Commissioner, regarding the rumor of discontinuing
the requirements of building inspections. Please let me reassure you
that the rumor or rumors you have heard are unfounded and not true.
Weld County is not considering the discontinuation of the Building
Inspection Program.
Section 4-4 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter establishes the Depart-
ment of Planning Services and further states that one of the responsibilities
of the Department will be to direct and coordinate the activities of build-
ing, electrical and plumbing inspections. A discontinuation of these
services would require an amendment to or a repeal of the Home Rule
Charter. The procedure to amend or repeal the Charter requires an election
and a vote of the electors.
I hope this information will be sufficient in addressing your concerns.
Weld County shares some of your same concerns when it comes to public
safety and the importance of making building inspections. If you have
any additional questions or if I may be of any further assistance to you,
please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely yours,
Norm Carlson
County Commissioner

Re: Building Inspections
Dear Mr. Martin:
It has recently been rumored that Weld County
is considering discontinuing the requirement
of building inspections.
The Town of Erie would like for the Commissioners
to give this matter careful consideration. As
you are no doubt aware, the Town contracts with
Weld Co. Building Dept. to do their inspections
and feels that required inspections are of the
utmost importance for the protection of the Town
and its citizens. We feel inspections should
also be continued in the unincorporated areas as
well as municipalities.
Discontinuance of inspections is most assuredly
taking a step backwards in regard to public
safety.
Sincerely,
t
Linda Martin
Town Manager
