CONSIDER PETITION FOR ABATEMENT OR REFUND OF TAXES - PINNACLE TOWERS (CONT.
FROM 3/20/02): Duane Robson, Assessor's Office, stated upon further research it was found that this is
not a duplicate account, it did, however, have the wrong ownership listed. The actual owners have been
made aware of the error and have been sent a tax bill. Mr. Robson recommended denial since there are
no taxes to abate for Pinnacle Towers, and staff has made the correction. Commissioner Geile moved to
deny said petition. The motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Masden, carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDER GRANT AGREEMENT FOR AIRPORT MASTER PLAN AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN
ANY NECESSARY DOCUMENTS - FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Mike Reisman, Airport
Manager, stated this is a grant in the amount of$150,000 to conduct a Master Plan study, and the City of
Greeley is scheduled to act on it May 7, 2002. Chair Vaad stated the Airport Board emphasized that input
should be collected from surrounding property owners during this process. Commissioner Geile moved
to approve said agreement and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion
carried unanimously.

this is a renewal proposal which changes the fiscal year July through June, to line up with the State fiscal
year. Commissioner Masden moved to approve said application and authorize the Chair to sign.
Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER FINAL CHANGE IN BOUNDARY LINES OF THE COMMISSIONER DISTRICTS IN WELD
COUNTY, COLORADO: Bruce Barker, County Attorney, stated on September 26, 2001, the Board
changed the boundary lines of some districts; however, as a result of the Congressional Redistricting and
State House changes, other changes now need to be addressed. Randy Propp, Clerk and Recorder
Department, stated there were some pockets and very tiny districts created by the redistricting, therefore,
these changes are proposed as the final adjustment of the lines. He reviewed each of the changes made,
as well as the population figures for each district. Commissioner Long moved to approve the final change
in boundary lines of the Commissioner Districts in Weld County, Colorado. The motion, which was
seconded by Commissioner Masden, carried unanimously.

CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO WELD COUNTY REGIONAL COMMUNICATIONS ADVISORY BOARD
BYLAWS: Mr. Barker reviewed the proposed changes, which have been approved by the Regional
Communications Advisory Board. Commissioner Geile moved to approve said amendments. The motion,
which was seconded by Commissioner Long, carried unanimously.
CONSIDER INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR SHARING OF FREDERICK-WELD COUNTY
ROAD IMPACT FEE FUNDS AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Mr. Barker stated this is for the Weld
County Road 11 project, which Frederick and Firestone are both interested in; however, Firestone is not
included in the impact fee area. This would authorize some of the money that is being collected from
Frederick, Longmont, and Weld County to be directed to Frederick. Mr. Barker stated Frank Hempen,
Director of Public Works, Monica Mika, Director of Planning Services, and Don Warden, Director of
Finance and Administration, have all reviewed and approved this agreement. Chair Vaad stated it will
provide one additional paved corridor in the Southwest Weld County area, and it may cause Firestone to
reconsider its decision not to participate in road impact fees. Commissioner Geile moved to approve said
agreement and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion carried
unanimously.
PLANNING:
CONSIDER RATIFICATION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION
BYLAWS: Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, stated the Planning Commission has adopted the
proposed changes, which are outlined in the memo from him. If not in agreement, it would be better to
refer these back to the Planning Commission than to impose other modifications on them. Mr. Morrison
gave the reasoning of the Planning Commission for each of the changes. The major change is the concept
of creating a Consent Agenda, and Mr. Morrison stated this may speed up the process for Planning
Commission Hearings. He stated staff would identify those items to be placed on the Consent Agenda,
and at the hearing, the Chair would determine whether anyone is present to be heard on the case, if not,
and the Board is agreeable to the staff recommendation, it could be approved by approval of the Consent
Agenda instead of a detailed hearing being held. He emphasized no changes would be made to the
notification procedure. Responding to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Morrison stated the consent agenda adds
flexibility for the Chair to move the meeting ahead and the potential for speeding up the hearings. Mr.
Morrison clarified for Chair Vaad that if someone is present who wishes to give testimony, it would take
agreement of two members of the Planning Commission to move it to the regular agenda. Commissioner
Long moved to ratify the amendments to the Planning Commission Bylaws. The motion, which was
seconded by Commissioner Geile, carried unanimously.
CONSIDER CANCELLATION AND RELEASE OF COLLATERAL FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW, S#534 -
SHAWN AND PAULA PETERSBURG: Chris Gathman, Department of Planning Services, stated staff
recommends release of $3,200.00. Don Carroll, Department of Public Works stated the applicant has
completed all transportation items to his satisfaction. Commissioner Masden moved to approve said
cancellation and release of collateral. The motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Long, carried
unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent
agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
