WORKS: Mr. Hanes stated the Department of Public Works recommends approval of the low bid from

the Department of Public Works, dated March 18, 2002, for the record. Commissioner Geile moved to

APPROVE 36-MONTH LEASE FOR MOTORGRADERS BID-DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS: Mr.
Hanes stated the Department of Public Works recommends approval of the low bid from Wagner
Equipment Company, in the amount of $1,438.31 per month for each grader. He reviewed the
Memorandum of Recommendation from the Department of Public Works, dated March 18, 2002, for the
record. Responding to Commissioner Masden, Jeff Jerome, stated there is a total of 12 blades in this bid,
and the alternate bid precludes the County from having to purchase new spare tires to accompany the
leased graders that are being returned. Bill Crowley, Power Equipment Company representative, stated
the County will have to buy spare tires regardless, and the bid did not specify the County's desire for this
option,therefore, he requested this be rebid. Mr.Jerome stated Wagner Equipment is the only bidder with
an alternate bid, and this option will not be provided on the current motorgraders because they are under
a separate lease agreement. Mr. Hanes stated the bidders always have the option of providing an
alternative bid. In response to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Jerome stated it will cost the County$4,000.00
per machine to purchase a lift-kit, and there are 12 machines. He further stated they would also have to
purchase spare tires and rims and pay labor charges to have them mounted. Commissioner Geile stated
he appreciates Mr. Crowley's comments; however, based upon staffs comments he moved to approve
said bid as recommended by staff. Commissioner Jerke seconded the motion,which carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDER TEMPORARY PERMIT FORA HOTEL AND RESTAURANT LIQUOR LICENSE FOR SIMON
CORPORATION, DBA SIMON'S BAR AND GRILL AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Mr. Barker stated
Simon Ryu has added his wife as a 50 percent share holder and created Simon Corporation, therefore,
a Change of Ownership for the liquor license is necessary to reflect this change. Mr. Barker stated the
current license expires March 25, 2002, and the Board has a policy which allows them to issue a
Temporary Permit to continue selling alcohol for 120 days or until the transfer is complete, whichever
occurs first,and he recommends approval. Responding to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Barker explained Mr.
Ryu made this change for tax purposes and the Temporary Permit is just an interim permit until the
Change of Ownership is processed and finalized. In response to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Barker stated
Mr.and Mrs. Ryu have each submitted an Individual History record;however,a Change of Ownership does
not require the Board to reestablish the neighborhood since a license is already in place. In response to
Commissioner Jerke,Mr. Barker stated the zoning and building violations referred to in the Memorandums
from the Zoning and Building Compliance Officers, dated March 18, and March 19, 2002, will need to be
resolved prior to considering the Change of Ownership. He further stated if the violations are not closed,
he recommends the Board deny the Change of Ownership,and the Temporary Permit will expire after 120

days, at which time the applicant will have to cease selling alcohol. In response to Commissioner Geile,
Mr. Barker stated it is likely the work on the property has been completed; however, the owner has failed
to call for final inspections. He further stated the projects do not pose a threat to the health, safety, or
welfare of the citizens of Weld County;however,some of the projects cannot be completed because a Site
Plan Review has not been submitted.
Simon Ryu, Simon Corporation President, stated the pending building permits are for the Travel Lodge
Hotel, which he does not own or control. Commissioner Jerke reviewed the various projects and open
permits for the record. Mr. Ryu clarified that he leases the restaurant portion of the hotel, and the hotel
has changed ownership several times in the last three years. He stated he will contact the current owner
and request they submit a Site Plan Review and work to close the outstanding permits. In response to
Commissioner Geile,Mr.Barker clarified the Change of Ownership Application from the Simon Corporation
is for the liquor license only, and the various changes in ownership referred to by Mr. Ryu relate to the
actual sale of the hotel property, which he does not own. Commissioner Geile moved to approve said
Temporary Permit and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER PETITION FOR ABATEMENT OR REFUND OF TAXES - PINNACLE TOWERS: Duane
Robson, Assessor's Office, stated since this petition was forwarded to the Board, more information was
submitted which may alter staffs recommendation. He stated it appears there may still be some
equipment on the site, and he requested additional time to review the new information. Commissioner
Masden moved to continue this matter until April 17, 2002, at 9:00 a.m. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Long, and it carried unanimously.

scenery and wildlife habitats, and he read the Resolution of Recognition for the record. Ms. Harnett
thanked the members of the Poudre River Trail Committee and the Board of Commissioners for their
involvement and she stated this has been a good public/private partnership,which will provide a long-term
benefit to the community. Mr. Laycock stated approximately three-quarters of the concrete trail has been
completed. Chair Vaad commented he has been on tours of the project,and he feels this will allow citizens
to see how a corporation can contribute to the community by supporting a trail that meets the needs
produced by growth in the area. Commissioner Jerke commented he was in the County when this trail was
proposed and it was a very controversial issue; however, he is pleased that LaFarge has been a good
neighbor and worked to make this project a success. Commissioner Geile added the reclamation process
will also add value to the area. Commissioner Masden moved to approve said Resolution. Commissioner
Long seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
