The following items will be heard:
CASE: Weld County Fees
PLANNER: Monica Mika
Monica Mika, Department of Planning Services, presented a modification to the fee schedule, specifically
planning and building fees, and asked the board for their recommendation. She pointed out that there are
three guiding principles to look at when examining land use fees: that growth shall pay its own way
through cost recovery; factoring of regional competitiveness to fees; and the north/south dichotomy that
exists in the county, with regard to the type of permits sought in each area. Ms. Mika said fee
modifications were based on specific types, i.e. urban and non-urban, as well as consideration of the
additional man hours required to review applications. Ms. Mika reviewed her hand-outs with the Board
and then turned the presentation over to Roger Vigil, Chief Building Official. Mr. Vigil outlined the
increases in building and inspections fees presented in Appendix 5-K. Mr. Vigil said justification for the
increase in fees was arrived at after factoring in the number of inspections needed to complete a permit
and the vehicle costs accrued with those inspections, as well as the time initially taken to write the permit.
Mr. Vigil pointed out that manufactured home permits are primarily responsible for the increase in permit
fess that will occur, due in part to the amount of inspections required for each home and the increasing
number of those homes in the county. Additional changes included the increase from forty-two dollars to
fifty dollars for each re-inspection fee and the cap for the investigation fee when building without a permit
was removed.
John Folsom asked Ms. Mika about fees required to change the existing MUD. She replied that modifying
an existing corridor and getting recognition of an urban corridor are very different processes and would
require various levels of research and therefore different fees.
James Rohn inquired about the fee for a hazardous waste disposal site, and whether this was unusually
high in order to discourage this type of development. Ms. Mika replied that fees need to cover cost
recovery and the time needed by staff to investigate this type of facility. Fees are not set to deter land use
development.
Bryant Gimlin asked Ms. Mika what the revenue generated would be if these fees were initiated.
She replied that this information has been submitted to the BOCC, and was based on man hours needed
to process these cases, not the aggregate of all of the fees. Mr. Gimlin asked Lee Morrison, County
Attorney, if these fee increases would be affected by the Tabor Amendment. Mr. Morrison said they would
not.
John Folsom inquired about the Capital Expansion fee. Don Warden, Director of Finance and
Administration, said this was the amount the County felt was necessary to help defer expenses associated
with the jail expansion and new county buildings. Mike Miller asked if the$575.00 Capital Expansion fee
on a new home was in addition to the increase in building fees. Mr. Warden replied that it is. Mr. Morrison
interjected that the Capital Expansion fee was not a part of the fee schedule that the Planning
Commission would be required to act on.
Bryant Gimlin expressed his disappointment with the increase in fees and said he felt there should have
been more time spent studying impacts in terms of total revenue generated. Mr. Miller said he felt the
fees were reasonable as they were still not covering 100 per cent of the costs.
John Folsom moved that Case Weld County Fees,be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with
the Planning Commissions recommendation of approval. Bryant Gimlin seconded the motion.
The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. John
Folsom, yes; Michael Miller, yes; Bryant Gimlin,yes ; James Rohn, yes; Tom Holton, yes; Chad Auer, yes;
Bruce Fitzgerald, yes. Motion carried unanimously.
CASE NUMBER: AmUSR-1231
APPLICANT: Larry& Margaret DeHaan
PLANNER: Chris Gathman
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: E2SW4 &W2SE4 of Section 27, T2N R67W of the 6th P.M., Weld
County, Colorado.
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and Amended Special Review Permit
for a Livestock Confinement Operation (dairy)and Animal Feeding
Operation for 2, 300 milking cows along with approximately 1,70
replacement heifers, dry cows and calves in the A(Agricultural)Zone
District
LOCATION: North of and adjacent to CR 16 and 1/4 mile east of CR 19.
Chris Gathman, Department of Planning Services, presented case AmUSR-1231. Larry& Margaret
DeHaan have applied for a Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a Use by
Right, Accessory Use or Use by Special Review in the Industrial Zone District (2,300 milking cows along
with 1,700 replacement heifers, dry cows and calves) in the A(Agricultural)Zone district.
The sign announcing the original Planning Commission hearing was posted May 5, 2005 by Planning
Staff. This case was continued at the original May 17, 2005 hearing date to allow the Health Department
to obtain applicants representative and review additional information regarding this application.
The site is located north of and adjacent to County Road 16 and 1/4 mile east of CR 19.
There are single family residences located to the west, east and south of the site (ranging from 1/4 to 1/2
mile from the facility). A special review permit for a 2,500 head dairy was approved for this site under
USR-1231 in 1999. No change (expansion) of the boundary of the original special use permit is requested
under this application.
Eleven referral agencies reviewed this case, ten referral agencies responded favorably or included
conditions that have been addressed through development standards and conditions of approval.
This proposal would increase the total number of cows from 2,500 to 4,000, relocate an approved hospital
parlour, allow for new animal pens, relocate the manure storage and compost area and silage storage to
the west side of the site and a silage storage area (in self contained bags)along the southern boundary of
the USR. No change (expansion)of the boundary of the original special use permit is requested under
this application.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services determined that the Special Use Permit, conditions of
approval and Development Standards, will make the proposal consistent with the Weld County Code and
ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the
inhabitants of the county.
Sharyn Frazer&Tom Haren w/AGPROfessionals (rep for property owners)are present today. I will be
happy to answer any questions at this time.
John Folsom inquired whether the Town of Firestone had returned their referral. Mr. Gathman said they
had not.
Chad Auer asked Mr. Gathman to point out the gas/oil well heads on the property. Mr. Gathman said
there are two located on site by the calf huts and another on the southwest by the manure and compost
storage areas. There are none located near human residences and the setbacks for the building code
would not apply to the calf huts. The nearest building to the oil/gas heads is the maternity building for the
cattle.
John Folsom asked Pam Smith, Department of Environmental Health, to clarify for him who provides
water to the property. Ms. Smith replied that there are two wells on the property providing water, permits
for an additional two wells, and water also provided by the Central Weld County Water District.
Mike Miller inquired of Ms. Smith the number of septic systems on the property. She replied that there are
nine homes on the property; one system has the capacity to serve two homes. All of the homes have
permits for septic systems except for homes one and two for which she cannot locate any record of septic
permits. The Health Department has asked that these two homes (page 4, item 2B)have their septic
systems evaluated and recorded with the Health Department. Mr. Miller asked if it was acceptable for two
homes to operate off the same system. Ms. Smith said it was, as long as the size of the system was
adequate for that purpose.
Tom Haren, applicant's representative, said Firestone opposed the dairy when it was originally planned,
but has raised no opposition in subsequent applications. In regard to the wells, there are several well
permits for the site, but only two actual wells. The septic system in question, shared by the two homes, is
being evaluated to determine whether the site application is pertinent or not. In the application, the
changes to the property are the result of the new ownership and their wish to keep the young stock on
site, thus the addition of calf huts, maternity/hospital building, silage and manure placement. A nuisance
management plan still exists and there have been no issues or problems in that area since the DeHaans
assumed ownership. Mr. Miller asked about regulations regarding the lagoons and/or stormwater system.
Mr. Haren said the new changes require much more documentation in these areas and overall conditions
in these areas are currently much better than in the past.
Sharyn Frazer, applicant's representative, clarified the septic issue by saying that High Plains
Engineering has been hired to design, replace and repair the systems. The current systems have all been
pumped out and the pumper has assured the applicants that they are all in good working order.
The Chair opened the public portion of the hearing.
Sheryl Seysick, 7001 CR 21, Longmont, CO, requested that screening requirements be added to the
permit, dimmer light bulbs be used at night to diminish glare, and consideration be given to the location of
the silage if it will increase odor and flies near her home.
As no one else stepped forward, the public portion of the hearing was closed. Bruce Fitzgerald asked why
the screening plan was being re-visited when it had been approved in the original USR.
The Chair requested Mr. Haren step forward once again to address those issues. Mr. Haren said the
lights would be shielded or hooded, the proposed silage storage is better than previous storage methods
but conditions in the applications would be adhered to. Mr. Haren also added that there was no screening
plan in the original application,just some trees placed on the site map and no condition providing for a
screening plan. He said the applicants are willing to strike a happy medium between screening and a full-
blown landscape plan. Mr. Gathman asked that the applicants submit a screening plan prior to the
application going before the BOCC (Condition 1.D., page 4).
Don Carroll, Department of Public Works, said Development Standards three and thirty are duplicates and
he would like to eliminate number thirty and re-number the remaining standards (page 10).
Mr. Gathman clarified the original hearing date was May 17, 2005 continued to June 21, 2005. He added
that Development Standard eight should read"or land" not"of land", and Development Standard twenty-
five should read"one or more acres" not"five acres".
John Folsom asked Mr. Carroll about his preference for access of the property, whether it would be CR 16
or CR 19. Mr. Carroll replied his recommendation would be to utilize CR 19 to the paved system in order
to mitigate dust.
Bruce Fitzgerald moved: the hearing date on the Administrative Review be changed from May 17, 2005 to
June 21,2005; 1.D.be added on page four to the Administrative Review that shall read,"The applicants shall
submit a screening plan for review to the Department of Planning Services"; Development Standard number
eight shall read"the production area or land application"; Development Standard twenty-five shall read"In the
event that one or more acres";and Development Standard thirty be deleted and the standards re-numbered
Bryant Gimlin seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Bryant Gimlin inquired about a development standard that would address the lighting. Mr.Gathman said there
is a standard in Section 23-2-250.D. It was moved by Bryant Gimlin and seconded by Bruce Fitzgerald that
the statement: "Lighting shall be in accordance with Section 23-2-250.D of the Weld County Code"be added
to the Development Standards as number thirty-four and the remaining standards be re-numbered. Motion
carried unanimously.
Bruce Fitzgerald moved that Case AmUSR-1231, be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners
along with the amended Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning
Commissions recommendation of approval. James Rohn seconded the motion.
The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. John
Folsom, yes; Michael Miller, yes; Bryant Gimlin, yes; James Rohn, yes; Tom Holton, yes; Chad Auer, yes;
Bruce Fitzgerald, yes. Motion carried unanimously.

policies and procedures of FMC 74-4.
4. Public Health costs are based upon public water and municipal sanitary sewer
available to serve the entire site.
5. There will be four public hearings involved in this review process.
6. The County Attorney's Office time was not included in this scenario, but would be
included in an actual case review.

In this dispute about building permit fees, plaintiffs,
Bainbridge, Inc . ; Village Homes of Colorado, Inc. ; Tradition
Concepts, Inc. ; The Genesee Co. /Castle Pines, Inc. ; High View
Homes, LLC; South Platte Company, LLC; April Corporation; Forest
Glen, Inc . ; Larsen Homes, Ltd. ; LHL I, Ltd. ; LHL II, Ltd. ; and
Settler Homes, Inc . , appeal the trial court' s judgment on remand
in favor of defendant , the Board of County Commissioners of
Douglas County, Colorado. We affirm.
After adopting the 1991 Uniform Building Code, Douglas
County imposed upon plaintiffs the code' s recommended building
permit fees. It did so pursuant to legislative authority, §§
30-28-114 and 30-28-205 (1) , C.R. S . 2000 , that permits counties
to fix a reasonable schedule of fees for the issuance of
building permits.
Plaintiffs filed a complaint asserting that these permit
fees were illegal because the county building department' s
revenue exceeded its direct costs . The trial court ruled in the
county' s favor, concluding that the General Assembly did not
intend §§ 30-28-114 and 30-28-205 (1) to limit the schedule of
fees authorized by those sections to only the direct costs of
operating the building department .
Plaintiffs appealed, asserting that, unless the fees
collected approximate the direct costs of operating the building

department, the fees constituted an unlawful tax in violation of
the Colo. Const . art. X, § 3 , which mandates uniform property
taxation.
In Bainbridge, Inc . v, Board of County Commissioners, 964
P. 2d 575 (Colo. App . 1998) , a division of this court held that :
(1) the county' s indirect costs of running its building
department, including services by other county offices, such as
the county manager, the county attorney' s office, and other
various divisions of the county government , may be calculated in
determining the present operational cost and future expansion of
the building department, but (2) the fees would constitute
unlawful taxes in violation of the Colorado Constitution if they
did not generally approximate the overall costs, direct and
indirect , of operating the building department . The division
remanded the case to the trial court for findings of fact
whether the fees charged were approximately required to offset
the direct and indirect costs of operating the building
department . Bainbridge, Inc . v. Board of County Commissioners,
supra, 964 P. 2d at 577 .
On remand, the district court held an evidentiary hearing
limited co that issue. In its June 15, 2000, order, the trial
court ruled in favor of the county, finding chat the building
fees charged by the county were approximately required to offset
the direct and indirect costs of operating the building

07-15-2005 01 :21Pµ FROM-DOLA LOCAL GOVT SVGS 1313 SHERBAN R521 8 +3038664818 T-326 P.005/015 F-367
department . Plaintiffs appeal only the provisions of this order
relating to costs allocated from the county commissioners,
county manager, and county attorney, and the engineering and
planning departments.
I . Burden of Proof
At the outset, we address plaintiffs' contention that the
trial court erred in determining that they were required to
prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, instead of by a
preponderance of the evidence. We disagree .
The district court found that plaintiffs were, in effect,
attempting to have the county' s resolution ruled
unconstitutional . The court thus decided that the burden was
beyond a reasonable doubt . See Loup-Miller Construction Co. v.
City & County of Denver, 676 P.2d 1170 , 1174 (Colo. 1984) (the
burden is upon the party attacking a legislative act to
establish its unconstitutionality beyond a reasonable doubt) .
In its June 2000 order, however, the court twice noted
that, whether the standard was beyond a reasonable doubt or by a
preponderance of the evidence, plaintiffs had failed to overcome
the presumption of constitutionality that attaches to a
legislative act of the board. The court stated that "even if
the burden of proof is by a preponderance of the evidence, this
Court' s findings do not change . "

Consequently, even if the trial court erred in applying the
beyond a reasonable doubt standard, any such error was harmless
because the court explicitly stated that plaintiffs would lose
under either standard. See Poudre Valley Rural Electric Ass in
v. City of Loveland, 807 P. 2d 547, 557 (Colo . 1991) (judgment
entered by the trial court will not be reversed for alleged
errors unless those errors are shown to prejudice the
substantial rights of the complaining party) .
II . Indirect Costs
Plaintiffs contend that the trial court erred on remand in
its application of controlling law by concluding that general
governmental expenses relating to growth management are
recoverable through permit fees charged as indirect costs . We
disagree .
Section 30-28-114 states, in pertinent part, that the board
of county commissioners "may also fix a reasonable schedule of
fees for the issuance of [building] permits. " Section 30-28-
205 (1) , C.R.S. 2000 , states, in pertinent part , that the "board
of county commissioners shall fix a reasonable schedule of fees
for the issuance of building permits by (the] county building
inspector. "
Unlike a tax, a special fee is not !designed to raise
revenues to defray the general expenses of government, but
rather is a charge upon persons or property for the purpose of
4
07-15-2005 01 :21Pµ FROM-DOLA LOCAL GOVT SVCS 1313 SHERµAN R521 8 +3038664819 T-326 P.007/015 F-367
defraying the cost of a particular governmental service . The
amount of a special fee must be reasonably related to the
overall cost of the service . Bloom v. City of Fort Collins, 784
P.2d 304, 308 (Colo. 1989) .
Because the setting of rates and fees is a legislative
function that involves many questions of judgment and
discretion, an appellate court will noc set aside the
methodology chosen by the ratemaking authority unless it is
inherently unsound. Krupp v. Breckenridge Sanitation District,
19 P. 3d 687, 694 (Colo. 2001) .
A determination of reasonableness is a question of fact for
the trial court . See American Water Development, Inc . v. City
of Alamosa, 874 P. 2d 352 , 386 (Colo. 1994) (reasonableness of
attorney fees) .
At the remand hearing here, the parties offered conflicting
expert testimony on how to determine the building department' s
indirect costs . We review the trial court' s resolution of that
conflicting evidence under a highly deferential standard.
Determinations of the credibility of witnesses and the weight to
be afforded the evidence are issues committed to the sound
discretion of the trial court as the trier of fact . Tiger v.
Anderson, 976 P.2d 308, 310-11 (Colo. App. 1998) . Its findings
must be accepted on review unless they are so clearly erroneous
5
OT-15-2005 01:21PM FROM-DOLA LOCAL GOVT SVCS 1313 SHERµAN R521 8 +3038664819 1-326 P.008/015 F-367
as not to find support in the record. C.R.C. P. 52 ; M.D.C. /Wood,
Inc . v. Mortimer, 866 P. 2d 1380, 1384 (Colo. 1994) .
In its June 2000 order, the district court found in favor
of the county. After considering all of the evidence, the court
specifically found:
[T] he method for determining indirect costs
of the building department as determined by
[the county' s expert] was both reasonable
and appropriate . The fees generated by the
building department generally approximate
the overall costs of operating the building
department . The Court finds the evidence
establishes that the fees charged were
approximately required to offset the direct
and indirect costs of operating the building
department .
Ample evidence exists in the record to support the trial
court' s findings, and we will not disturb them on review. In
particular, the trial court' s determination that the county' s
expert was more credible than plaintiffs' expert is well
supported, and we will not second-guess it . See M.D.C./Wood,
Inc . v. Mortimer, supra.
A. The County' s Expert
The indirect costs of the building department were
determined through a study performed in 1994 and updated in 1999
by the county' s expert, its budget manager. This expert
described the mission of the building department as issuing
6
07-15-2005 01 :21PM FROM-DOLA LOCAL GOVT SVCS 1313 SHERLNN R521 8 +3038664819 T-326 P.009/015 F-367
building permits and doing building inspections, plan checks,
and reinspect ions .
Significantly, for a period of four to six months, the
expert spent approximately one-half of her time analyzing
building department costs . She focused on determining who
within the county interacted with the building department and
provided it services . She interviewed representatives from
various branches of the county government and spoke with all the
elected officials and department directors and managers in the
county to determine "what their interaction was with the
building department" and what percentage of their work focused
on growth issues . She described growth as "new construction"
and stated that anything that ended up with new people moving
into the county was growth.
The expert' s study determined the extent to which services
rendered by other departments conferred a benefit upon the
building department and then allocated certain costs of chose
departments to the building department . The expert determined
that the indirect costs of the building department fell into
thirteen categories, including, as relevant here (1) county
commissioners/manager/attorney (CCMA) , (2) engineering growth
management (engineering) , and (3) planning/community (planning) .
Those three categories, which plaintiffs challenge on
appeal, coincidentally account for the largest cost allocations .
7
OT-15-2005 01:22Pµ FROM-DOLA LOCAL GOVT SVCS 1313 SHERMAN R521 8 +3038664819 T-326 P.010/015 F-367
The expert' s analysis of the CCMA category involved review
of a representative sample of the CCMA' s weekly scheduled
meetings for a six-month period and determination of which
meetings related to growth management . She determined that
seventy-five percent of the CCMA' s time went to growth and new
construction. She then allocated half of that amount to the
building department and half to the planning department, which
contains the building department .
Her analysis of the planning department was based upon
research into the portion of the planning department ' s work that
was driven by growth. The expert determined that portion to be
eighty percent, based upon her research and communication with
the department director. She then multiplied the department' s
costs by eighty percent and allocated that amount to the
building department . Because the building department is part of
the planning department, it is not unreasonable to conclude that
certain planning department services were conferred upon the
building department .
The engineering department analysis involved a
determination of what the department was working on and what
portion of that work was related to growth. Based upon her
research and communication with the department, the expert
determined that seventy percent of its work was growth related.
8
07-15-2005 01:22PM FROM-DOLA LOCAL GOVT SVCS 1313 SHERMAN R521 8 +3038664819 1-326 P.011/015 F-367
She then multiplied its costs by seventy percent and allocated
that amount to the building department .
In support of the conclusion by the county' s expert,
another witness for the county, a Colorado certified public
accountant and former chairman of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, reviewed the work performed by
both parties' experts and described the county' s expert' s
approach as "appropriate, " "professional, " and "reasonable . "
s. Plaintiffs' Expert
Plaintiffs' expert, a certified public accountant, opined
that the cost allocation method of the county' s expert, in the
three contested categories, was not rationally related to the
benefit received. He presented five alternative means of
analyzing the costs of the building department . All five of
plaintiffs' alternatives allocated significantly fewer costs to
the building department than the county' s theory did.
However, in Alternative I , contrary to the holding in
Bainbridge, plaintiffs' expert did not allocate any indirect
costs to the building department . In Alternative II , the expert
allocated to the building department only limited departmental
expenditures from the other departments . In Alternative III,
the expert allocated to the building. department an amount based
on personnel services from the other departments . Alternative
IV replicated the county expert' s initial report verbatim. The
9
OT-15-2005 01:22Pµ FROM-DOLA LOCAL GOVT SVCS 1313 SHERMAN R521 8 +3038664819 T-326 P.012/015 F-367
only change plaintiffs' expert made was to omit two categories
of indirect costs: CCMA and planning. Finally, the expert' s
Alternative V was the same as the county expert' s, except that
it allocated only 3 . 8 percent of the three disputed categories'
coats to the building department . This was based upon the
percentage of FTEs (full-time equivalent employees) in the
building department, compared to all FTEs in the county.
Further, plaintiffs' expert spent far less time on his
analysis than did the county' s expert; instead, he copied large
portions of her work and then modified it . He did not interview
the director of planning, the county engineer, the county
commissioners, the county manager, the county attorney, or the
head of the building department . Nor did he investigate the
working relationship between the engineering and building
departments. He did nothing to determine how the county
commissioners spent their time. In contrast, the county' s
expert did all these things .
Additionally, because the studies were performed before the
Bainbridge opinion issued, Alternatives I-IV failed to include
indirect costs that the division in Bainbridge determined to be
allowable.
Because of these and other deficiencies in plaintiffs'
expert' s opinion, the trial court found that the county' s
expert' s analysis carried more weight.
10
07-15-2005 01 :22Pµ FROM-DOLA LOCAL GOVT SVCS 1313 SHERMAN R521 8 +3038664818 T-326 P.013/015 F-367
As the trial court noted, the county presented a "detailed
and time consuming analysis, " performed by its expert and budget
manager, "before any litigation began. " This analysis was "not
prepared for any purpose of litigation or even in anticipation
of litigation. "
In our view, the trial court correctly concluded that the
county' s evidence demonstrated that use of growth management as
a component of indirect cost analysis was reasonable and
appropriate . See Krupp v. Breckenridge Sanitation District,
supra. The evidence demonstrated that growth has driven the
costs of the building department . Further, the evidence
supports the finding that the fees charged by the building
department were approximately required to offset the direct and
indirect coats of operating that department . Mathematical
exactitude is not required. Krupp v. Breckenridge Sanitation
District, supra, 19 P. 3d at 694 ; Westrac, Inc. v. Walker Field,
812 P. 2d 714 , 717 (Colo. App . 1991) .
We reject plaintiffs' contention that, without the improper
allocation of growth costs to the building department, the only
conclusion supported by the record is that revenues from permit
fees grossly exceed the total costs, including direct and
indirect costs, of issuing the permits.
Plaintiffs' counsel conceded at oral argument before this
court that growth causes greater activity in the building
11
07-15-2005 01 :22Pµ FROM-DOLA LOCAL GOVT SVCS 1313 SNERMAN R521 8 +3038664818 T-326 P.014/015 F-367
department . However, plaintiffs have not articulated which
particular aspects of this growth should not be allocated to the
building department . We also note that the county' s expert did
not allocate one hundred percent of the costs of growth to the
building department . For example, after interviewing officials
from the sheriff' s and assessor' s offices, she did not allocate
any growth costs from those departments. Nor did the county' s
expert allocate all of the CCMA' s growth costs to the building
department . Instead, after determining that seventy-five
percent of the department' s time went to growth and new
construction, she allocated only fifty percent of that component
to the building department .
Thus, we conclude that it was permissible for part of the
growth costs to be allocated to the building department as
indirect costs. See Bainbridge, Inc. v. Board of County
Commissioners, supra, 964 P. 2d at 577 (allowing consideration of
indirect, " 'overall costs' required to operate [the]
department" ) .
III . OMB A-87
Plaintiffs also contend a federal Office of Management and
Budget document (OMB A-87) should have controlled the allocation
of costs to the building department . We are not persuaded.
Three witnesses for the county testified that the OMB A-87
plan pertained to federal grants and had no application to the
12
OT-15-2005 01:22PM FROM-DOLA LOCAL GOVT SVCS 1313 SHERMAN R521 8 +3038664819 T-326 P.015/015 F-367
cost allocation issue before the trial court on remand. This
testimony was sufficient to support the trial court ' s conclusion
chat the evidence was clear that costs that may be very
appropriate for cost allocation never make it onto the OMB A-87
because of the federal guidelines .
Accordingly, ample evidence in the record supports the
trial court' s findings, and we will not overturn them. See
M.D.C. /Wood, Inc. v. Mortimer, supra.
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
