CONCERNING LOCAL
ACCOUNTABILITY
FOR MONEY USED
FOR HIGHWAY PURPOSES
In accordance with Section 29-1-110, C. R. S., 1973, at a public hearing on the budget, Weld
County must discuss the proposed use of its allocation of highway users tax fund monies and the
County Public Works Fund and provide an opportunity for any elector to be heard on the
expenditure of such monies for the current year and for the fiscal year governed by the proposed
budget.
The proposed use of the 2005 allocation of highway users tax fund monies and county road and
bridge fund are as follows:
Maintenance of Condition $ 3,624,582
Administration 861,623
Maintenance Support 1,730,521
Truck Hauling 1,570,000
Asphalt 353,274
TOTAL $ 8,140,000
218
CONSTRUCTION BIDDING FOR
STATE-FUNDED LOCAL PROJECTS
In accordance with Sections 29-1-701 through 707, C. R. S., as amended, cities or counties of
30,000 persons or more are required to bid projects of over $150,000. Local governments are
required to bid competitively among private contractors for projects using Highway Users Tax Fund
money (state funded projects), and are prohibited from dividing projects into two or more projects
to evade provisions of the act.
"State-funded public project"means any construction,alteration, repair,demolition,or improvement
by any agency of local government of any land, structure, facility, road, highway, bridge, or other
public improvement suitable for and intended for use in the promotion of the public health, welfare,
or safety and any defined maintenance project which is funded in whole or in part from the highway
users tax fund and which may be reasonably expected to exceed one hundred fifty thousand dollars
in the aggregate for any fiscal year.
"Defined maintenance project" means any project that involves a significant reconstruction,
alteration, or improvement of any existing road, highway, bridge, structure, facility, or other public
improvement, including but not limited to repairing or seal coating of roads or highways or major
internal or external reconstruction or alteration of existing structures. "Defined maintenance project"
does not include routine maintenance activities such as snow removal, minor surface repair of
roads or highways, cleaning of ditches, regrading of unsurfaced roads, repainting, replacement of
floor coverings, or minor reconstruction or alteration of existing structures.
Based upon the above definitions, Weld County's Public Works 2005 budget would be allocated
as follows by the above categories:
TOTAL HUTF STATE LOCAL/OTHER
Bridge Construction $ 2,711,595 $ 0 $ 2,711,595

Contract 1,850,871 0 1,850,871
$25,752,771 $ 8,140,000 $17,612,771
Based upon the above allocation Weld County, at a minimum, must competitively bid out asphalt
totaling $353,274 and truck hauling of$1,570,000. However it is anticipated that, in addition to the
minimum required by law, Weld County will bid out an additional $1,961,726 in asphalt purchases
and contracts for overlays, reconstruction and chip and seal of$1,927,871,for a total of$5,812,871
in bid projects for 2005. A major portion of the$3,578,000 earmarked for Strategic Roads may also
be contracted, which raises the potential bid project amount to $9,390,871.
Maintenance of effort requirement was eliminated by the 1994 State Legislature, effective with the
1995 budget; therefore, it is not demonstrated in this budget document.

SOCIAL SERVICES FUND SUMMARY
The total Social Services budget is $18,048,700. The programs are funded by property tax of
$5,300,000, fund balance of $938,200, revenues and incentives of $1,460,000, and state and
federal funds of$10,350,480. Due to State funding problems, the county has had to fund a larger
amount of the cost of the programs administered by the department. Population growth, general
inflation, and increased social problems have increased the expenditures for years. Over the last
two decades the social services programs have used as much as 13% and as little as 7% of the
total property tax available to the county. The loss of state funding has resulted in a higher
percentage of property tax usage. No significant legislative changes have occurred to limit the
amount of services the Department has been required to provide.
Two factors affecting the expenditure level for the Social Services Funds are the continued growth
in the county and the State budget problems. Weld County continues to be one of the fastest
growing counties in the nation. The number of people unemployed and underemployed is also
resulting in a greater demand for services by the public. State and local tax structures are not
supporting mandated services. Charities have been facing increased demand with limited dollars.
Other factors creating budget pressures include growing substance abuse, limited mental health
resources, increased jail populations, reduced family insurance coverage, and increasing medical
costs. Unlike other institutions, Social Services does not have a good funding mechanism to adjust
for the increase in demand for services.
A trend of lower wage jobs replacing higher paying jobs appears to be creating problems in the
county and State. Hourly wages of nine dollars per hour are not enough to meet basic family
needs, even if both parents are working full time. Single family households are not able to meet
their needs without extensive government assistance. Due to lower wages,families who live below
185% of poverty tend to have difficulty in meeting basic food, housing, health care, and child care
needs.
Requests for Food Stamps have grown due to local economics. Improved employment
opportunities could reduce the number of households receiving food assistance. The case loads
for Old Age Pension should be stable for 2005. Historically, County Administration has not been
well funded by the State. The reimbursement levels are usually about seventy-five percent of the
total cost of programs funded in this budget unit. If the State budget problems continue, no
improvement in funding is anticipated in this area.
Over the past five or six years, the amount of special revenue has been significant. Due to limited
State funds, special revenue such as IV-E, County Contingency, Child Support Incentives, and
Fraud Incentives will not be as high as they have been in the past.
The number of cases and requests for services continue to grow for Child Support due to the
population growth. The division anticipates it will be able to improve the number of collections it
receives. Collections from Child Support lower the actual cost of TANF. When welfare reform was
first started, the number of households dropped dramatically and has remained stable. Improved
employment opportunities would reduce the number of clients in this program area. The cost of
natural gas is predicted to remain high in late 2004 and early 2005, due to the limited supply of gas
available. As a result, the Department anticipates an increase in the number of applications for
LEAP for the upcoming winter.
240
Quality day care at an affordable cost will continue to be a challenge for working families to obtain.
Due to budget problems, the Department has reduced the amount of payments to providers for
holds, absences, registration fees, and limited assistance for clients in school. Eligibility levels for
clients are still set at 150 percent of poverty. These changes have kept the cost of child care stable
for the department. Although there continues to be limited funding for child care, providers
continue to request increased rates to improve their ability to stay in business.
Child Welfare services drive about forty percent of the gross expenditures for the Department. The
demand of services continues to grow due to increasing population, substance abuse, mental
health issues, and other growing social problems in prevention and ongoing support of families.
Without the prevention and ongoing assistance to families by community support systems, the
demand for child welfare services increases. Other factors impacting the demand for services
include the complexity and severity of abuse and neglect cases, increased costs to respond to
treatment needs required by the cases, and the shortage of placement and treatment options
statewide. The need for Core Services programs to prevent or reduce the length of stays of
children/youth in foster care is growing; however, funding availability is limited, due to State budget
problems. The Department will continue to work closely with the courts and agencies providing
community support systems to control and limit welfare expenditures.
The Department is requesting that staffing be increased by three in the Child Welfare area due to
growing caseloads. Staffing increases have been very limited over the last couple of years due to
State funding problems. Since the State controls the business process and information systems
for most of the programs, it is difficult to improve productivity. The impact of the CBMS computer
system is not known at this time. It is possible that additional labor will be required to meet the
minimal program requirements. Some of the startup costs will have to be absorbed by the County.
In summary, the level of expenditures will be influenced by Federal and State legislation and rule
changes that may reduce or increase demands for programs and services that are administered
by the Department. The payment for such service demands will be impacted by the performance
of the state and local economy. The Department will strive to improve productivity and to
encourage legislative changes to reduce workloads, increase efficiency, and reduce expenditures
with Department programs.

BUDGET UNIT REQUEST SUMMARY
AGENCY/DEPARTMENT NAME: SOCIAL SERVICES
BUDGET UNIT TITLE AND NUMBER: County Administration -- 2100-42110
DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION: Administration of OAP,Food Stamps, Medicaid,Adult Protection,
and Common Support programs. Staff compensation and operating expenditures are paid from
this budget. The State establishes an allocation that limits the reimbursement for administrative
expenditures.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Demand for services continues to increase due to economic concerns
and population growth in the county. Job growth would reduce the number of clients the
department assists. This budget unit has been under funded by the State for the last twenty-five
years. Due to financial problems at the State, it is unlikely that funding will improve during 2005.
The Department will be striving for ways to improve productivity and to encourage legislative
changes to reduce the workload associated with these programs. Due to the growth in OAP and
Medicaid, an additional staff member is requested for the Adult Unit of Assistance Payment
Division. In addition, the department is not certain at this time how CBMS will effect the amount of
labor necessary to meet program requirements. This assessment will be made after the
implementation of CBMS and a request for additional staff made at that time.
OBJECTIVES: Administer OAP, Food Stamps, Medicaid,Common Support, and Adult Protection.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Property tax is budgeted at $5,300,000 for 2005. Additional funds
from the State would reduce the amount of local contribution required; however,with the State fiscal
problems it is unlikely that the local share will reduce during 2005. County Contingency from the
State is budgeted at $200,000. Child Support incentives are budgeted at $350,000 and $60,000
for Fraud. No amount has been included for IV E funding. The TANF adjustment is budgeted at
$850,000.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The number of cases and requests for services continue to grow for
Child Support due to the population growth. The division anticipates that it will be able to continue
to improve the number of collections that it receives. Child Support incentives of $350,000 have
been budgeted under Non-Program Revenue.
OBJECTIVES: Obtain child support payments for TANF and non-welfare households. Child
Support collections lower the cost of the TANF Program and help to keep other households self-
sufficient. Administrative costs cover compensation for legal technicians, parent locators, and
attorney costs.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The lack of employment has a significant impact on the number of
clients associated with this program. The majority of clients that use TANF have major problems
that limit their ability to work. Some of these problems include mental health and physical
limitations. The impact of the CBMS system can not be determined at this time. It is possible that
additional staff resources will be needed to administer this mandated program. The department will
alert the County as soon as additional information is known.
OBJECTIVES: Provide assistance payments to eligible recipients of the TANF Program. The
average household is comprised of the caretaker mother and two children. Provide employment
training, work experience, and job placement for clients. Provide for funding necessary for staff
associated with the TANF Program.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: No significant changes are anticipated for 2005 for this program. The
condition of the local economy affects this program. When jobs are not plentiful a greater number
of individuals tend to file for disability since employers can be very selective with individuals that
they employ.
OBJECTIVES: This program is designed to provide money grants and Medicaid for eligible
disabled clients. Another component of this program serves clients as supplement to their
Social Security benefits.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Quality day care at an affordable cost will continue to be a challenge
for working families to obtain. Due to limited revenue from the State and Federal governments, the
department has had to look for ways to reduce costs in recent years. Cost reductions have focused
on reducing the amount of income providers receive to care for children.
OBJECTIVES: Purchase of day care services for eligible children. This program also includes
services for a small number of"special needs" children when child protection is a concern. The
program is available to clients enrolled in the TANF Program. The department pays state rates for
payment of day care services for special needs children who are in child protection.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: No significant changes are anticipated for this program for 2005.
Population growth and the aging of the community will lead to higher caseloads. The main problem
for this program is the limited administrative dollars available to hire technicians to manage the
cases.
OBJECTIVES: Provide money payments and Medicaid to eligible seniors who qualify by meeting
age, resource and income tests. Program costs are reimbursed 100 percent by the state, except
for home care allowances where the county contribution is 5 percent of these costs. Administrative
costs are reimbursed 80 percent by the state. OAP money payments serve as income supplement
to social security payments in many OAP households.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The demand for services continues to grow due to an increasing
population and substance abuse. The Department will work with the court system to limit the
amount of expenditures in this program area. In the future the community will need to work on a
system wide solution to the growing social problems that result in the placement of children.
Improved mental health services, effective probation, better day care options, more school
programs, are just a few of the areas that need to be explored to reduce the number of services
that are being requested of the department. The department is making a special effort to reduce
the number of foster care children that are placed in residential treatment facilities. During 2004
two staff members were approved to reduce the amount of placements in residential treatment
centers. In addition, the department is requesting three additional positions for 2005 to handle the
increase in cases. Over the last three years child protection cases have doubled in number due
increasing problems associated with substance abuse.
OBJECTIVES: Expenditures in this program are for the placement of children into facilities due
to abuse or for placement of youth beyond control of their parents. Placements are made in family
foster homes, group homes, child placement agencies, and residential child care facilities. Some
costs are reduced by the collections from parents and social security.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Funding for this program is not anticipated to increase during 2005.
Demand for this program is much greater than the department's ability to pay. Core Services will
continue to be used to limit and shorten the number of foster care placements.
OBJECTIVES: This program is designed to provide services such as counseling, day treatment,
and education to prevent out-of-home placements. In addition, services are provided to reunite
families with children in foster care. A plan is developed on an annual basis and submitted to the
State for approval. Cases are monitored to determine the effectiveness of providers and program.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Expenditures for dental, vision, prescriptions, and in-kind services
have remained fairly stable over the last few years. The impact of the State budget problems has
created a stronger need for General Administration funds. Depending of the requests for 2005 it
may be necessary to transfer funds from one line item to another during the year. The following
is a breakdown of the amounts requested. Due to the number of requests for burials an additional
$18,000 was included in this budget unit. The amount allocated for burials has not been changed
in over twenty years. The following is a breakdown of the amounts requested:
Dental $ 17,000

PUBLIC HEALTH FUND SUMMARY
The 2005 budget request for the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment was
prepared to support the department in achieving its strategic goals, allow for provision of essential
public health services, and enable core public health functions to be fulfilled on behalf of the
residents of Weld County. The total budget is $6,640,599 for 2005, up $913,859, or 16%. Grant
revenues are up$785,240. The county subsidy, including salary increases, is up$133,733, or 6%.
The Administration Division request for 2005 projects an increase of $63,709 in the overall
proposed net county cost from the 2004 budget. This increase for 2005, which is allocated as
overhead to the other divisions in the Department, is mainly due to the increased cost for Personnel
Services and Purchased Services. The request for Personnel Services is$31,596 more than 2004,
due to step increases and the projected cost-of-living salary increase. The reduction in the amount
of bioterrorism funding from the State for Health Alert Network (HAN) equipment and software
results in a decrease of $13,441 in Supplies. The requested increase of $36,813 in Purchased
Services is for a projected increase of$35,000 in data processing services, an increase of$1,000
in phone services, and a collective increase of $813 in publications, memberships, and other
services. The $8,741 net decrease in revenue projected for 2005 is from the decrease in the
bioterrorism funding for HAN and a projected increase of sales of birth and death certificates.
The Health Promotion section of the Division of Community Health Services, despite a requested
increase in Budgeted Positions of 0.37 for 2005, projects a net decrease in county support for these
programs of$34,157 when compared to 2004. In the 2005 budget request, Health Promotion FTE
is projected to increase to a total of 9.25 through the addition of a 0.5 FTE health educator in the
federal grant supported Steps to a Healthier Weld program, a 0.25 increase in FTE to support the
Colorado Women's Cancer Control Initiative (CWCCI) program, a decrease of 0.25 FTE from
Tobacco Prevention and Cessation programs, and by moving 0.13 FTE of staff support for the
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness program to a contract position. Additional 2005
requests for changes within Personnel Services include upgrading three positions within the Steps
to a Healthier Weld grant program; changing the Coordinator of the program to a Program
Supervisor; changing a Health Educator I position to a Health Educator II; and changing the Office
Technician II position to an Office Technician III. Funding to support these requested upgrades is
through the federal grant from the United States Department of Health and Human Services(HHS)
Steps to a Healthier US program. The 2005 proposed budget also requests an upgrade in the
Abstinence program's 0.5 Health Educator Ito a Health Educator II. These changes are projected
to increase Personnel Services by$62,869 over the 2004 budget. Other projected changes in the
2005 request include an increase in Supplies of$85,489, to allow for expanded program activities
within both the Steps to a Healthier Weld program and the State of Colorado's Abstinence program
supported through federal Title V funding. Purchased Services are projected to increase by
$239,182 in the 2005 budget proposal to allow for expanded activities within both the Steps to a
Healthier Weld program and the State of Colorado's Abstinence program supported through federal
Title V funding. With the additional grant support for programs, Overhead is projected to decrease
by $11,113 in the 2005 budget request. Revenue in the 2005 budget to support Health Promotion
programs is projected to increase by $410,584 with the addition of federal Title V funding for
Abstinence programming, an increase in state funding to support CWCCI and the increase in
federal funding for the Steps to a Healthier Weld program.

•
Community Health Services'(Nursing)2005 budget proposal projects a net increase in county cost
of$104,985. This is due in large part to requests for additional staff to support growing demand
for services delivered at the Southwest Weld County site ($54,708). The remainder is due to step
increases and the projected cost-of-living salary increase. Program expansion in Community
Health Services is anticipated in 2005 due to additional grant support for Nurse Family Partnership,
Multidisciplinary Youth Assessment Team (MYAT), and Citizen Corp Programs. As a result of
these additional funds to support new/expanded programming, Personnel Services for the division
is requesting an increase in FTE of 4.75 positions for 2005. Weld County was selected as one of
the communities in the state to receive an expansion grant for the Nurse Family Partnership
program. This program expansion will allow the Department to serve 50 additional high-risk,
first-time mothers living in poverty. To provide this additional support the program requests an
increase in FTE of 2.5 for 2005 (2.0 FTE visiting nurses, 0.25 FTE Program Supervisor, and 0.25
FTE Office Technician). Emergency Preparedness and Bioterrorism(EP/BT)programs lost federal
funding support for 0.25 FTE from within the Community Health Services division, leaving 1.25 FTE
of EP/BT staff in the proposed 2005 budget. The MYAT funding will allow the division to support
1.0 FTE of Community Services Specialist. This position will integrate with the MYAT and bring
Public Health programming expertise to the team. Citizen Corps funding will support 0.5 FTE and
allow the Department to complete work on identifying volunteers to serve in the event of
emergencies. Community Health Services is also requesting 1.0 FTE of staff (0.5 FTE nurse
practitioner and 0.5 FTE medical assistant/office technician) to provide consistent program
coverage to meet growing demand for new services at the Southwest Weld County site. Services
at this site include nursing (Family Planning, immunizations, Tuberculosis), vital records, and
environmental permits. The net increase in proposed FTE for the 2005 budget request is 4.75. The
2005 budget also anticipates increases in Supplies of $25,495 and in Purchased Services of
$35,935 to support the expanded program activities listed above. Fixed charges also increase by
$52,691 in the 2005 request. With the exception of the policy decision request to support 1.0 FTE
staff at the Southwest Weld County site, new grant revenues are anticipated to support the
expanded programming. Projected revenue for 2005 is increased by $403,427 over 2004 levels.
Most of this additional revenue results from Nurse Family Partnership expansion funds of$215,243,
the MYAT agreement for $40,000, and Citizen Corps funding of $30,000. The remainder of the
increases in revenue results from higher allocations in other contracts and higher projections from
Medicaid reimbursement.
The Environmental Health Services division 2005 budget request proposes an increase in Net
County Cost of $62,905 over the 2004 budget. This increase results primarily from increased
Personnel Services costs due to cost-of-living increases and from the division's request for an
additional 0.5 FTE of Environmental Health Specialist ($25,038) that would be integrated into
Stormwater, Food Safety, and Environmental Planning programs. The division's anticipated
revenue in 2005 is $25,144 less than the 2004 budget. The projected decrease is due to the
issuance of fewer ISDS permits, the likely loss of CDC grants for arbovirus surveillance, and
reduced funding from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for Bioterrorism
Preparedness activities. The division has requested an increase 0.5 FTE in budgeted positions
over the 2004 staffing level. The new 0.5 FTE would provide assistance in programs that continue
to expand with the growth observed in the County.
273
The division's 2005 Supplies request is $165,690. This request represents a $21,589 reduction
from the Department's 2004 budget. The 2004 request included funds for software and computer
upgrades in the laboratory, along with other testing supplies and expenses in order to upgrade the
laboratory's testing capabilities. All upgrades are in place and testing expenses are less than
originally anticipated. The division's 2005 request for Purchased Services has decreased by
$27,917. The division's fixed charges for 2005 are projected to decrease by approximately$4,037
from the 2004 budget as costs in the 2005 budget are re-allocated based upon program size.
The Department of Public Health and Environment continues to be challenged with keeping pace
with the demand for services as Weld County becomes one of the fastest growing regions of
Colorado. In addition, the complexity of the work and the intermittent surges in activity in the area
of Public Health (e.g., bioterrorism readiness, smallpox preparedness, disease control and
investigation of West Nile virus infection, increases in ozone levels, SARS readiness, prevention
of influenza, etc.) create unique staffing issues that add to routine functions. The Department's
2005 request reasonably anticipates the work load for the coming year and will provide the
Department the resources needed to carry out its essential services and core functions.

Services is $31,596 more than 2004. This is due to step increases, the projected cost-of-living
salary increase, and the increased cost of insurance. The reduction in the amount of bioterrorism
funding from the State for Health Alert Network (HAN) equipment and software results in a
decrease of$13,441 in Supplies. The requested increase of$36,813 in Purchased Services is for
a projected increase of $35,000 in data processing services, an increase of $1,000 in phone
services, and a collective increase of$813 in publications, memberships, and other services.
The $8,741 net decrease in revenue is from the decrease in the bioterrorism funding for HAN and
a projected increase of sales of birth and death certificates.

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: The budget is recommended as requested,
except for the reclassification of the Office Manager/Coordinator position. It is agreed by
Personnel and Finance that the incumbent does a great job. However, requests have been made
in the past years to upgrade this position and denied. The position was part of a comprehensive
study of Office Manager positions a few years ago that resulted in the position being upgraded to
the current classification of Office Manager/Coordinator. The position has not changed significantly
enough to justify reclassification. To keep parity within the county with like positions it is
recommended by Personnel and Finance not to upgrade this position.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Overall, the Division's proposed net county cost for 2005 is $62,905
more than our 2004 request. This is primarily due to increased Personnel Services costs (cost-of-
living increases) and the request for an additional 0.5 FTE that would be absorbed into our
Stormwater, Food, and Environmental Planning programs. The Division's anticipated revenue in
2005 is $25,144 less than our 2004 budget. The decrease is due to the issuance of fewer ISDS
permits, the likely loss of CDC grants for arbovirus surveillance, and reduced funding from the
CDPHE for bioterrorism preparedness activities. The Division has requested .5 FTE over our 2004
staffing level. The new .5 FTE would provide assistance in programs that continue to expand with
the growth observed in the County. The Division is requesting $165,690 for supplies in 2005. This
request is a $21,589 reduction from our 2004 request. Last years request included funds for
software and computer upgrades in the laboratory, along with other testing supplies and expenses
in order to upgrade the laboratory's testing capabilities. All upgrades are in place and testing
expenses are less than originally anticipated. The Division's request for services has decreased
by$27,917 from our 2004 request. The decrease is due to review of historical spending within the
Division. The increase is due to the emergency preparedness funds that we anticipate receiving
from the CDPHE for an emergency response exercise and improvements to the laboratory. The
Division's fixed charges have decreased by approximately $4,037. The decrease is due to the
allocation of costs across programs. There are no requests for capital equipment included in the
2005 budget.

HUMAN SERVICES FUND SUMMARY
The Human Services Fund for 2005 is projected to increase by$921,500, or 8.06%, for a total of
$12,354,851. Changes are associated with increases to Head Start Programs, which help with
various needs of economically disadvantaged pre-school children and jobs programs, as well as
Area Agency on Aging, which includes a variety of programs for older Americans.
Being totally reliant upon state and federal funding sources, Human Services continues to operate
in an environment of uncertainty. The Human Services Fund budget has been constructed based
upon the best available information on the funding levels. It is very likely that many of the amounts
will be changed between now and the actual execution of the 2005 budget.
The primary programs of Human Services are associated with the Workforce InvestmentAct(WIA)
funded under the Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. This program is
anticipating $1,478,000 for 2005. In addition, the Job Service contract will be $620,000, and
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) is funded at$560,000, primarily for training of
TANF clients.
The Human Services Fund is totally funded through state and federal programs with the exception
of the 25 percent local match for the Aging program, which amounts to $12,351. All Human
Services indirect costs are included in the 2005 budget.
Other programs of the Human Services Fund remain relatively stable programmatically with the
following 2005 funding levels:
Transportation $ 155,000
Supplemental Foods 1,253,500
Area Agency on Aging 1,039,351
Senior Nutrition 424,000
CSBG 290,000
Other 240,000
In the above programs, Weld County must continue to be responsive and reactive to federal and
state administrative and budget changes in 2005.
The budget includes funding for Head Start programs totaling $3,290,000, with an additional
$2,630,000 for Migrant Head Start. The Pre-School Program is funded at$125,000, and all the
educational programs total $6,045,000, up $615,000.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds are established to account for taxes or other earmarked revenue of the
county which finance specified activities as required by law or administrative action.
CONTINGENCY FUND:
The Contingency Fund is funded at the level of$5,350,000. Given the uncertainty of state and
federal funding and tax collections, it is recommended that this amount, coupled with the
approximate $2,000,000 carry-over fund balance in the General Fund be retained.
SOLID WASTE FUND:
The Solid Waste Fund is funded at the anticipated revenue level of fees at $1,300,000 with an
anticipated beginning fund balance of$950,000. Funds are committed to offset environmental
health costs: the household hazardous waste program ($707,377), overhead ($22,913), and
trash enforcement and pickup program ($64,972). A total of$440,000 is designated for roads
impacted by landfills.
CONSERVATION TRUST FUND:
The Conservation Trust Fund is budgeted at $399,000 based upon the anticipated operating
costs for 2005. The budget reflects funding of Island Grove Park only.
EMERGENCY RESERVE FUND:
The Emergency Reserve Fund is established per Amendment One (TABOR), passed
November 3, 1992. The amendment requires that an emergency reserve be created to be used
for declared emergencies only. It also requires each local government to reserve one percent or
more for 1993, two percent or more for 1994, and three percent or more for all later years of the
fiscal year spending, excluding bonded debt service. Caused reserves apply to the next year's
reserve. A reserve of$3,500,000 has been established for 2005, which is greater than the
required three percent of fiscal spending.

Budget Positions
SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Revenues from the Colorado Lottery are being projected at a
$385,000 or 7.5%reduced level due to a drop in the proceeds from Lotto and Powerball from 2003,
and$14,000 from interest earnings. The fund has a$500,000 carry over fund balance that allows
the county to spend the proceeds one year after receipt,which is a prudent spending philosophy for
this fund. Island Grove Park will have a gross cost of$412,837, less$79,000 in revenue for a net
of$333,837, down $19,100 from 2004. A total of$65,163 is in unallocated capital items. Since
2002, the Missile Site Park has been funded in the General Fund.
OBJECTIVES: See criteria following Administrative Recommendation.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Revenues are down$200,000 due to lower utilization of the landfills
in Weld County,even with the revenue potential from the 2002 opening of the new landfill(Buffalo
Ridge Landfill) in Keenesburg. The Buffalo Ridge Landfill will add less than $100,000 in new
revenue in each of the next five years. 'twill not generate comparable revenues of the other landfills
for five to ten years, per the operator. Department of Health and Environment costs for the
Household Hazardous Waste program will be $707,377. Indirect costs are $22,913 for 2005.
$440,000 is requested for road projects to mitigate landfill impacts. Undesignated amounts of
$64,738 are in the budget.
OBJECTIVES: 1) Mitigate the impact of solid waste sites in Weld County; and 2) Provide

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FUND SUMMARY
The Capital Expenditures Fund was established to budget for financial resources used for the
acquisition or improvement of the capital facilities of the county. A detailed Long Range Capital Plan
for 2005-2009 is presented in this section and relates to the specifics of the 2005 capital project
budgets.
The Capital Expenditures Fund accounts for various capital improvement projects for county
buildings. The 2005 program is funded at$6,755,000,with$4,575,000 from property tax,$500,000
from an Energy Impact Grant, and$100,000 from interest. Anticipated projects include$125,000
for parks and recreation, $2,500,000 for the Southeast County Service Center, and $100,000 for
special projects. In addition, $2,450,000 will be reserved for construction of Phase III of the North
Jail Complex and to do a buy-out on the jail Certificates of Participation(COP)in 2007. Carry-over
beginning fund balance of$1,580,000 is anticipated,and$4,030,000 ending reserve fund balance
is anticipated at the end of 2005.
The funds for Phase III of the jail will not be spent for construction until 2007-2008. Based upon
a study done by the Sheriff's Office, the additional 160-bed facility will add operational costs of
approximately $2,300,000 in 2009. This amount is programmed into the long-term operational
budget projections. The $2,500,000 is being used in 2005 - 2007 for one-time expenses to
construct the Fort Lupton Administration Building($2,500,000)and to pay for the COP($5,201,500)
in 2007. The operation costs for the new Fort Lupton facility will be offset by eliminating the old,
more costly to maintain, building.
The special projects are primarily cosmetic enhancements to buildings that will not impact operating
costs, but will improve the appearance and functionality of the buildings involved.

LONG RANGE CAPITAL PROJECTS
FIVE YEAR PLAN
2005 - 2009
INTRODUCTION: •
Section 14-3 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter provides:
'The Board may require that the Director of Finance and Purchasing submit, at the
time of submission of the annual budget,a five-year capital improvements program
and budget. Such program shall include recommended projects, construction
schedule,estimate of cost,anticipated revenue sources, methods of financing,and
such other information as may be required."
This five-year plan projects capital improvements for 2005 - 2009.
The recommended program for capital construction is intended as a guideline to be adjusted by the
Board of County Commissioners on an annual basis. It represents flexible goals for organizing
solutions to county program needs, and it is intended to provide the Board of County
Commissioners with the perspective for making fiscal policy decisions. Annual modifications in the
plan will reflect necessary adjustments and priorities, changes in programs, and readjustments of
other county fiscal requirements.
This report has four (4) sections:
1. Introduction
2. Financing Alternatives
3. 2005 - 2009 Five-year Plan
4. 2005 Budgetary Impact
The section on financing recommends a program for funding the next five years' capital
construction. This section lists the various sources of revenue currently available to the county,and
the alternatives available for financing the remainder of the capital projects program. The
2005-2009 five-year plan section provides a list of recommended projects and the time schedule
for the next five fiscal years. Additionally, it provides justification for the recommendation and
attempts to enumerate problems and recommended solutions for the capital improvements
program over the next five years. The project section describes each recommended project, and
provides information on the existing situation,the proposed solution,and the financing plan for each
project.
The last section of the report provides a recommended 2005 budget for the capital construction
program. It provides specific detail regarding each recommended project and the impact on the
2005 county budget.

FINANCING ALTERNATIVES
357
FINANCING
Overview:
There are a number of ways to finance capital improvement projects. Some of the most common
methods are:
1. Pay as you go:
Pay as you go is a method of financing capital projects with current revenues --
paying cash instead of borrowing against future revenues. Pay as you go has
several advantages. First, it saves interest cost. Second, pay as you go protects
borrowing capacity for unforeseen major outlays that are beyond any current year's
capacity. Third, when coupled with regular, steady completion of capital
improvements and good documentation and publicity, pay as you go fosters
favorable bond ratings when long term financing is undertaken. Finally, the
technique avoids the inconvenience and considerable cost associated with
marketing of bond issues, advisors, counsel, printing, etc.
However,there are practical and theoretical disadvantages to a pay as you go policy.
First, pay as you go puts a heavy burden on the project year. Second, it creates
awkward fluctuating expenditure cycles which do not occur with extended financing.
Third,a long life asset should be paid for by its users throughout its normal life rather
than all at once by those who may not have the use of it for the full term. Finally,
when inflation is driving up construction costs, it may be cheaper to borrow and pay
today's prices rather than wait and pay tomorrow's.
2. All borrowing policy:
An all borrowing policy or a substantial reliance on debt financing is another
approach. The annual available resources could be used entirely for debt service
with the size of the annual resources setting the limit on the amount that could be
borrowed.
3. Capital reserve:
A capital reserve plan is an approach where the annual resources available could be
accumulated in one or more capital reserve funds,the amounts invested,and when
any funds become adequate to pay for a proposed project, the fund could be
expended. This is a good approach when a county has a capital requirement which
can wait. Accumulation of the necessary capital funds over a period of time is a
feasible approach,assuming a relatively stable construction dollar. HB1111 passed
in 1982 specifically provides for a capital improvements trust fund for capital
reserves.
358
4. Partial pay as you go policy:
A partial pay as you go policy is a common approach. Some of the annual
resources would be used to finance capital improvements directly, and the
remainder would go for supporting a debt program. Even if a local government
pursues a borrowing policy, an initial down payment out of current revenues is a
possibility. A customary five to ten percent down is a limited pay as you go policy,
and assures that the voters authorizing the approval will make a cash contribution
so all of the burden will not be postponed.
5. Joint financing:
An ever increasing number of cities and counties are benefitting from joint
development of a project. The construction of a city/county office building and
recreational areas are examples. This avenue of funding and planning capital
projects normally is advantageous to both jurisdictions.
6. Lease/Purchase:
Local governments can utilize lease/purchase methods for needed public works
projects by having it constructed by a private company or authority. The facility is
then leased by the jurisdiction on an annual or a monthly rental. At the end of the
lease period, the title to the facility can be conveyed to the jurisdiction without any
future payments. The rental over the years will have paid the total original cost plus
interest. This method has been used successfully in a number ofjurisdictions. The
utilization of a building authority would fall under this category of financing.
Numerous considerations are involved in the selection of the foregoing approaches, or some
combination thereof:
1. Political realities may preclude utilization of one or more of the above alternatives.
For example, the passage of general obligation bonds as a debt financing
mechanism has not met recent success at the polling places in most jurisdictions.
2. The pay as you go concept has three distinct advantages.
A. It provides great flexibility to the county for future periods of economic
recession or depression but does not accumulate large fixed-charge costs.
B. It avoids the payment of interest charges.
C. It imposes upon public officials the full political responsibility for levy of the
taxes necessary to pay the local share of such projects.
3. The debt financing approach has the advantage of spreading the cost over a
generation of current users of public facilities, thereby imposing upon each a
significant portion of the cost of each project.
4. In an inflationary period,one must take into account the extent to which prepayment
for capital outlay is warranted, when the opportunity for repayment of the principal
and interest in dollars that are less expensive can be arranged.
359
5. During periods of rapid rise in costs,the time delay necessary to accumulate down
payments or full pay as you go resources invites higher costs which may wipe out
most, if not all, of the advantages of non-payment of interest.
In the five-year capital projects plan, a combination of funding methods will be recommended to
finance capital construction in an attempt to balance the economy of a payment in full program with
the fairness of sharing the burden among present and future taxpayers.
This recommended financial program reflects consideration of many factors, including the
availability of cash, anticipated interest rates at the time of construction,and projected inflationary
cost increases that would result from project delays.
360
DEBT FINANCING
Before discussing specific types of borrowing, it is appropriate to review some of the basic
constitutional statutory provisions which generally are applicable to debt financing.
Article XI, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution provides that no debt may be created by a political
subdivision of the state, unless the question of incurring such debt has been approved by a majority
of the qualified electorate voting. Any obligation paid, or contracted to be paid, out of a fund that is
a product of a tax levy is a debt within the means of the Constitution (Trinidad vs. Haxby, 136
Colorado 168, 315 p 2d 204 -- 1957).
In addition to voter approval, Article XI, Section 6 requires the debt be incurred by adoption of a
legislative measure which is irrevocable until the indebtedness is fully paid or discharged. The
ordinance must:
1. Set forth the purpose for which the bond proceeds will be applied, and
2. Provide for the levy of the tax which, together with such other revenues as may be
pledged, will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest of the debt.
The Constitution delegates to the Legislature the duty to establish statutory limitations on the
incurrence of debt. The total amount of debt which a county may incur may not exceed 3 percent
of the assessed value in the county, which is slightly over thirty million dollars in Weld County.
Section 4 of Article X, Section 20 (TABOR Amendment) requires voter approval for any form of
multi-year debt. It states that an election is required: "Except for the refinancing of district bonded
debt at a lower interest rate or adding new employees to existing district pension plans,creation of
any multiple-fiscal year direct or indirect district debt or other financial obligation whatsoever without
adequate present cash reserves pledged irrevocable and held for payments in all future fiscal
years."
In addition to the state statute, Section 14-6 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter specifies:
"The incurring of indebtedness by the county and the issuance of evidences of such
indebtedness shall be authorized, made and executed in accordance with the laws
of the state, including the borrowing of money to fund county projects,the pledging
of project revenues and repayment thereof, and the issuance of revenue warrants,
or revenue bonds, or other forms of evidence of such obligations."
Before discussing specific types of bonds, it is appropriate to review some of the general
characteristics of bonds. Bonds mature serially,that is, a portion of the principal is retired over the
entire term of the bond issue. Interest on municipal bonds is free from Federal Income Tax which
is an important feature to prospective purchasers. The term or the length of time to maturity of
municipal bonds can vary considerably. Generally,the last maturing bond comes due ten to thirty
years from the date of issue. Normally,the longer the maturity of the bonds, the higher the yields
or return on investment demanded by the market price. Thus, a bond issue that runs thirty years
will pay a higher net effective interest rate than a bond issue that runs twenty years.
361
•
General Obligation Bonds:
General obligation bonds are secured by a pledge of the full faith, credit and taxing power of the
county. The county is obligated to levy sufficient taxes each year to pay the principal and interest
of the bond issue. Consequently,general obligation bonds are a debt subject to the constitutional
and statutory provisions discussed earlier. Because the issue of general obligation bond pledges
its full faith and credit and agrees to levy the ad valorem taxes necessary to repay the principal and
interest of the bond,it is generally agreed to be a more secure investment than other types of bonds.
Thus, the major advantage of general obligation financing is the low rate of interest as compared
to the interest of other types of bonds. The law permits general obligation bonds to have a thirty-
year term; however, general obligation bond issues usually have terms of twenty years or less.
General obligation bonds, in addition to being secured by full faith and credit of the issuer, may
provide additional security by pledging certain available revenues.
The major disadvantage of general obligation bonds is the fact that it does require voter approval
prior to issuance. Voter resistance to increased taxes may prevent a successful bond election.
Revenue Bonds:
Revenue bonds are not a debt in the constitutional sense. They are secured by the revenue derived
from the project to be constructed, not by pledge of the full faith, credit, and taxing authority of the
county. Projects typically financed by revenue bonds include airports,stadiums, and park facilities.
Under the TABOR Amendment, revenue bonds can only be used for enterprise funds and
operations.
Although it may seem possible to pledge any non-tax revenues for payment of revenue bonds,there
should be a relationship between the type of revenue pledged for payment of the bonds and the
project to be financed. Although revenue bonds need not comply with the constitutional statutory
provisions generally applicable to a debt,there are several statutory provisions which may affect the
issuance of certain types of revenue bonds and the statutes should be consulted for specific
provisions regarding the issue of revenue bonds if this method is considered.
Revenue bonds are considered to be less secure than general obligation bonds because of the
inability of the issuer to levy taxes to assure the payment of principal and interest. Thus, there is
normally a higher interest rate on revenue bonds. The term of revenue bonds is often beyond twenty
years, frequently as long as thirty years.
The concept of issuing revenue bonds is based on the theory that certain projects which benefit only
certain individuals should be self-supporting and should be paid for by the user of that project rather
than the populace as a whole. Thus,airport revenue bonds are paid for by air travelers and airlines
and parking revenue bonds are paid for by users, etc.
In order for a county to issue a revenue bond, the system which generates the revenues to repay
the principal and interest of the bond must:
1. Have a good operating history documented by audited figures.
2. Reflect good debt service coverage through use of a feasibility study
completed by a recognized expert in the field.
362
•
In analyzing a revenue bond issue for underwriting, an investment banker will look not only at
operating statistics and coverages, but also at more basic elements, such as the necessity of the
service,control over competition,and delinquency procedures. Revenue bonds are becoming more
popular because they do not require voter approval and do not apply in statutory debt limits.
Leases:
A less traditional method of financing county facilities is a lease arrangement. A lease is executed
with the county,which gives the county the option to purchase the equipment or facility during the
term of the lease. All or part of the lease payments may be applied to the purchase prices.
A bona fide lease option agreement is not a debt; however, an installment purchase program is a
debt. A bona fide lease/option agreement is characterized by two factors:
1. Annual rental payments with automatic renewal of the lease unless
terminated by either party, and
2. No obligation on the part of the local government to purchase the property if
the lease is terminated.
Also,some court cases indicate the annual rental must be paid from non-property tax revenues to
avoid the lease being considered a general obligation. Upon exercise of the option, the local
government obtains full legal title to the property. Leases of this nature are distinctively different
from more conventional means of financing. Of primary importance is the security which underlies
the lease period. It is not a promise to levy taxes or a pledge of revenues from the system. Rather,
it is usually a promise to pay only one year at a time,with an implied intention to continue payment
until ownership is transferred. As ultimate security, the holder of the lease may look to the asset
which is being leased in the event of a default.
There is little statutory or judicial guidance in the area of leases of this type, and the obligation to
continue lease payments until title transfers is a moral, rather than a legal obligation. As a
consequence, the underwriting or placement of a lease is more difficult than the underwriting of
conventional bonds. The term of the leases generally are short, usually from seven to ten years.
Because the security underlying the lease is not good compared with conventional financing,
interest rates on leases are higher.
Building Authority:
A building authority is a non-profit corporation which generally is formed at the request of the
governing body of the county or local jurisdiction,which also appoints the Board of Directors of the
corporation. Weld County created such an authority in 1987 named the Weld County Finance
Corporation. The directors are the Director of Finance and Administration, County Attorney, and
Director of General Services, each appointed for ten year terms.
363
•
The building authority issues its own bonds to finance a facility. To achieve the same lower interest
rates that traditional municipal bonds enjoy, the building authority must obtain a ruling from the
Internal Revenue Service that the interest on the authority's bonds is exempt from Federal Income
Tax. Such an exemption is granted if the IRS finds the authority's bonds are issued on behalf of a
political subdivision, which is determined based upon the following factors as detailed in IRS
Revenue Ruling 63-20.
1. The authority engages in activities which are essentially public in nature.
2. The corporation is not organized for profit.
3. The corporate income does not inure to the benefit of any private person.
4. The political subdivision has a beneficial interest in the corporation, while the
indebtedness is outstanding, and it obtains full legal title to the property on the
retirement of the debt.
5. The corporation has been approved by the political subdivision which has approved
the specific obligation of the corporation.
Like municipal bonds, bonds issued by a corporation usually are subject to registration and other
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Security Exchange Act of 1934. After receiving
a favorable ruling from the IRS, a "no action" letter should be secured from the Security and
Exchange Commission,exempting the authority's bonds from these requirements. The authority
then issues bonds pledging the annual rental payments as security. After issuance of bonds and
construction of the facilities, the authority leases the facilities to the county. Again, this must be a
bona fide lease and possess all the elements discussed under Lease/Purchase.
The bonds of a building authority are similar to municipal leases in the manner in which they are
viewed by investors. As with a simple municipal lease,building authority bonds are less secure than
general obligation or revenue bonds. As a result, bonds issued through a building authority bear
higher interest than more secure issues.
Certificates of Participation (COP) may be issued in the same manner as bonds. As a practical
matter the COP is the same as a bond, except from a legal point of view, the COP is evidencing
assignment of proportionate undivided interests in rights to receive certain revenues in the form of
a lease or rental amount for the purpose of providing funding for capital improvements. The lease
and COP do not constitute a general obligation or other indebtedness of the county within the
meaning of any constitutional, statutory or home rule charter debt limitation. The lease is a
year-to-year obligation.
The use of Certificates of Participation(COP)has been the only debt vehicle Weld County has ever
used in the implementation of its debt policy options.
364
BUILDING AUTHORITY FINANCE
The Philosophy:
Tax-exempt financing is available through a building authority with the issuance of bonds when the
facilities financed are for public purposes and the benefit is to the sponsoring public entity.
The Building Authority:
A building authority is a Colorado non-profit corporation created by the county itself. The county
adopts a resolution calling for the creation of the Building Authority and directing counsel to draw
articles of incorporation and by-laws in compliance with Colorado Statutes. A board of directors is
formed. The board may consist of County Commissioners or administrative personnel or
individuals not associated with any public entity. The Weld County Finance Corporation, created
in 1987,consists of the Director of Finance/Administration,County Attorney,and Director of General
Services as directors.
Tax-Exemption of Interest:
Once the non-profit corporation is created, the tax-exempt nature of interest paid on the
corporation's bonds must be assured. A revenue ruling is requested from the Internal Revenue
Service on the non-profit status of the corporation pursuant to Internal Revenue Code, 103(a) 1 and
Revenue Ruling 63-20, and on the tax-exempt status of interest paid.
Such an application involves considerable work and a detailed analysis of the situation which is
presented to the Internal Revenue Service. The application includes information as to public
purpose, the county, the agency using the facilities, the proposed lease terms, terms of title
reversion to the county and the proposed method of financing.
Corporate Bonds and the S.E.C.:
As corporate bonds are subject to registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission,a"no action"letter must be obtained from the S.E.C. In essence,the S.E.C.says that
no action will be taken if the bonds of the building authority/non-profit corporation are not registered.
The Purchase Contract:
Once the building authority is created with powers to act, it may enter into a contract to purchase
the facility. The contract should be subject to:
1. A favorable revenue ruling from the Internal Revenue Service.
2. Receipt of an S.E.C. "no action" letter.
3. Finalization of financing.
365
•
The Bond Issue:
When all legal and tax questions are answered the building authority may issue bonds for the
purchase of the facility. Normally the bonds are sold directly to an underwriter who then resells the
bonds to the ultimate investor.
The bonds that are issued will be an obligation of the building authority only and not a debt obligation
of the county.
The County Lease:
Upon the issuance of the bonds and the purchase of the building by the building authority,the county
can lease the building from the authority. The lease would be from year-to-year with automatic
renewal unless otherwise terminated. A county lease for any period in excess of one year
constitutes a debt and must be approved by voters.
The Bond Security:
The security of the bond holders may be only in a pledge of lease revenues by the authority. The
bond holders may also have a first mortgage lien on the building. The combination of the two results
in a more secure bond and a correspondingly lower rate of interest.
Partial Seller Financing:
Depending on factors such as the seller's motivation, whether there is an existing loan on the
building,and negotiations,a bond issue can be for only the amount necessary for a down payment.
The sellers can carry back the balance, receiving installment sale tax benefits on the capital gains.
A revenue ruling would be required, however, interest paid on a promissory note to the seller may
also be tax exempt. The total cost to the county and the building authority then may be substantially
lower on this basis.

CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
Existing Situation:
The Centennial Complex Jail was constructed in 1978,and was remodeled three times to increase
the capacity to 294 beds. In 1997, Phase I of the North Jail Complex was constructed with 160
beds,and all the core service facilities. The North Jail Complex is currently designed for a build out
of 640 beds,but the site can accommodate a 960-bed facility. Each phase would be in increments
of approximately 160-226 beds. Jail population continues to grow in Weld County. Phase II has
been completed and opened in January, 2004. Phase II added 226 beds based upon the design.
Construction of Phase II allowed for the closure of the Centennial Jail and conversion of the space
to accommodate Court needs. Phase III will be an additional 160 beds, and is anticipated to be
constructed in 2007 - 2008.
Proposed Solution:
It is proposed that additional phases of the North Jail Complex be constructed in increments of 160-
226 beds asneeded. The total project of approximately 211,355 square feet will be constructed in
phases. The first phase constructed in 1997 was 125,775 square feet. It included the core service
facilities, such as kitchen, administrative offices, medical detention, booking area, and lobby to
accommodate 640 inmates. Phase II has 226 beds and is both maximum and medium security to
accommodate the projected inmate classifications. Phase II was constructed in the 2002 - 2003
time frame and became fully operational as of 2004. Phase III will have 160 beds and will be
constructed in the 2007 - 2008 time frame.
Financing:
It is recommended that the county budget$8,000,000 in the 2005 -2009 capital plan budget for
funding of Phase III for 160 additional beds. In addition,$2,300,000 for operation of the additional jail
must be programmed into the operational budget plan for 2008. The $2,300,000 will be in the
Capital budget in 2005-2007 for one-time expenses of constructing the Southeast County Service
Center($2,500,000)in 2005,and early payoff of the jail Certificates of Participation($5,201,500)in
2007.

OM Ili ADMINISTRATION BUILDING P
WELD COUNTY BUSINESS PARK, GREELEY, CO
WELD COUNTY BUSINESS PARK
Existing Situation:
In 1987 Weld County acquired 160 acres located in the southwest corner of"O"Street and North
11th Avenue in Greeley. Funds for the property came from the sale of the Health Building.
Proposed Solution:
The property is large enough to allow for future consolidation of county facilities in one area. The
utilities and site improvement were developed in 1988 at an estimated cost of$1,750,000 with the
aid of a$630,000 EDA Grant. The first facilities,completed in 1989, included a 15,000 square foot
building for Human Services and a county motor vehicle shop. Fifty to 60 acres have been
developed for building and storage sites and approximately 60 acres can be mined for gravel and
reclaimed in an attractive way. The new correctional facility is located on this site, as well as
Human Services,Health Department, Household Hazardous Waste Building,Training Center, Motor
Pool, Public Works,and two administrative buildings. A portion of the property was made available
for commercial development and offered at no cost or low cost to private parties for economic
development incentives. A PUD was approved for land use purposes in 1989.
Financing:
Development, using future years' funds, is programmed into the long-range plan under specific
projects, which include a correction facility ($8,000,000) and Administrative Facility ($5,000,000).

GRADER SHEDS/ICE CONTROL STORAGE BUILDING
Existing Situation:
The county currently has 18 grader sheds throughout Weld County, to accommodate road
maintenance functions in all sectors of the county. The grader sheds are in various conditions,
ranging from good to needing replacement. Seventeen have recently been replaced--Nunn(1981),
Gwonda (1982), Vim (1983), New Raymer(1984), Mead (1985), Rockport(1986), Kiowa (1987),
Severance(1987),Gilcrest(1989),Ault(1989), Briggsdale(1991), Keenesburg(1994)Stoneham
(1994), Dacono(1995), Fort Lupton(2000), Gill(2001),Galeton(2003), and New Raymer(2004).
Rockport (2006) is the only remaining shed to be replaced. In addition, four ice control storage
buildings were constructed in 2001- 2003. An additional storage facility at the Public Works
Headquarters was built in 2003.
Proposed Solution:
An analysis of existing grader sheds determined which are required for the operational functions of
the road maintenance operation in Weld County. In the process some have been sold, others
consolidated, and some identified for replacement. In cases where existing grader sheds will
accommodate the maintenance function, it is suggested that attention be given to those sheds that
need maintenance or major improvements. Where necessary, replacement sheds have been
identified. Four ice control storage buildings were needed and one additional storage garage.
Financing:
The county, since 1982, has totally reconstructed and upgraded all grader and road maintenance
facilities. The county should continue a sound maintenance and replacement program, so the
buildings do not fall into the disrepair condition they were in prior to 1982. The funding mechanism
should be a pay-as-you-go function out of the Capital Fund.
377
COURTHOUSE/COURTHOUSE ANNEXES
Existing Situation:
The Courthouse and Courthouse Annexes provide for the space needs of the 19th Judicial District.
Under state law the county is obligated to provide and maintain the facilities for court related
activities. The Courthouse was built in 1917 and is maintained on the Federal Register of Historical
Buildings. After many remodels and upgrades it still functions as the main court facility for Weld
County. In the mid-1980's two buildings across the street from the Courthouse were acquired and
remodeled to house the Probation Department. In 2001,the West Courthouse Annex Building was
acquired to house the DistrictAttorney Juvenile Division. As the population grows and court related
activities grow the space requirements continue to expand.
Proposed Solution:
With the growing needs of the courts it will require that the county convert the Centennial Center,
including the jail, to courtrooms and court-related offices. With the construction of Phase II of the
North Jail, the Centennial Jail was closed and remodeled into court-related space in 2004. All
Sheriffs office administrative functions,along with Communications and Records,were moved to
the new Public Safety Administrative Building next to the North Jail in 2003. Over time the entire
Centennial Complex will become court-related space,as well as the two annex buildings to the west
and east of the Courthouse. In 2004, three additional district courtrooms were created, a juvenile
courtroom, and one additional county courtroom. These courtrooms will supplement the current
vacant district courtroom and the visiting judge courtroom to accommodate anticipated additional
judges through 2010. The first floor of the Centennial Jail has been converted into courtrooms. The
second floor of the jail will be remodeled in the future for additional court and office facilities. The
third floor of the jail was remodeled in 2004 for the work release program. First floor Centennial
offices were converted into office space for the Clerk to the Court. The space in the Courthouse
occupied by the Clerk to the Court was converted into a district courtroom. Space occupied by the
Weld County Commissioners and administrative functions will be converted to court-related space
and District Attorney space after these functions move to a new administrative building sometime
after 2010.
Financing:
The county can accommodate court related activities in the space of the Courthouse and Centennial
Complex for several years. In addition, the block to the southeast of the Centennial Complex has
been acquired by the county and converted into a parking lot. In the future when the need arises,
that block can serve as a site for court building expansion and a parking garage structure to
accommodate court space needs. Also, in the next decade it may be necessary to have court
facilities in the southern part of Weld County where the population is growing at a rapid rate. The
funding mechanism for all courtfacility needs should be a pay-as-you-go function out of the Capital
Fund.
378
•
PUBLIC SAFETY
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
Existing Situation:
Growing needs of the courts require that the county convert the Centennial Center,including the jail,
to courtrooms and court-related offices. With the construction of Phase II of the North Jail, the
Centennial Jail will be closed and remodeled into court-related space. In addition,all Sheriffs office
administrative functions,along with the Communications and Records, must be relocated by 2004
to accommodate the courts.
Proposed Solution:
Since the entire jail operation will be moved to the North Jail there are logistical advantages to
relocate all Sheriff office functions near the jail site. To accommodate the space needs of the
Sheriffs Office it is proposed to construct a 22,000 square foot office building near the North Jail
site. The building would house the Sheriff's office functions, Communications, and Records. In
addition the County Coroner's office could be located in the same building. This would allow the
consolidation of all criminal justice functions at one site with the exception of patrol substations.
Financing:
The new Public Safety Administration Building was constructed in 2002. Funds in the amount of
$2,500,000 were budgeted in 2002 for the construction of a 22,000 square foot office building.
379
DOWNTOWN GREELEY
PARKING AND LAND
Existing Situation:
The Courthouse and Centennial Center are located in the center of downtown Greeley. The future
plans are for these facilities to be the judicial center for the 19th Judicial District that serves Weld
County. Parking has been a long time problem in the area for citizens using the facilities. In
addition, as Weld County looks to the future there will be a need to have land to locate future court
facilities. The court administration is insistent upon having a centralized location, since other
jurisdictions have had logistical problems attempting to split court facilities into more than one
location. As a result, there is a need to acquire land adjacent to the current location to
accommodate future court facilities.
Proposed Solution:
In July, 2003, the county purchased a portion of an adjacent block of property to the Centennial
Complex and Courthouse to allow for surface parking in the immediate future,and to provide future
building sites for future court facilities. Opportunity existed to purchase approximately 100,000
square feet adjacent to the current facilities in 2003. The parking was developed in 2004, and
needed facilities can be constructed on this site in the future.
Financing:
In 2003, fund balance from the General Fund in the amount of$1,500,000 was transferred to the
Capital Expenditure Fund to acquire the site and put money aside for the parking improvements in
2004. Approximately 250 parking spots have been developed to serve the area. As portions of the
site are needed for court building sites, a parking structure can be built to accommodate added
parking needs or land to the east or south of the site can be acquired for surface parking.
380
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE BUILDING
Existing Situation:
The long term plan with the development of the Weld County Business Park was for the eventual
move of all administrative functions of the county to the business park. All of the functions were
housed at the Centennial Complex in 1976. In 1990-91 the Assessor, Treasurer, Clerk and
Recorder, and Planning were relocated to the business park. With the future space demands of
the courts it is anticipated that the remaining county administrative functions at the Centennial
Complex will need to be relocated to the Weld County Business Park within the next 10 years. This
will leave the Centennial Complex as a justice and law enforcement center exclusively.
Proposed Solution:
In order to accommodate the court's space needs and the county's administrative functions it will
be necessary to construct a new administrative facility at the Weld County Business Park in the next
10 years. To accommodate the space needs of the existing administrative functions and plan for
future growth it is anticipated that a building comparable to the new Health Building will be required.
Financing:
It is recommended that in the Capital Improvement Plan that the county begin to accumulate funds
in a reserve for the future construction of a new administrative building. Estimated costs for the
facility will be $5,000,000. In the ten-year Capital Improvement Plan $5,000,000 is reserved.
381
SOUTHEAST
COUNTY SERVICE CENTER
Existing Situation:
The Southeast County Service Center was acquired as a used building in the early 1980's from the
City of Fort Lupton. With the growth in the area, the building is no longer large enough for the
functions located in the building, and the building is in need of remodeling.
Proposed Solution:
It is proposed that a new 12,500 square foot building be constructed in east Fort Lupton on a
five-acre site in 2005. The building will accommodate the current services, plus allow room for
future expansion of services in the area. The location of the building in east Fort Lupton will better
accommodate not only Fort Lupton residents, but also residents from the Hudson and Lochbuie
areas.
Financing:
The building will be constructed in 2005. Funds in the amount of$2,500,000 are budgeted in the
2005 budget for the land and 12,500 square foot building. A State Energy Impact Assistance Grant,
in the amount of $500,000, has been approved for the project.
382
MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTS
Existing Situation:
Each year there are several small projects to update or renovate county facilities, provide for new
county programs,and remodel to accommodate changing programs or meet new legal standards.
An approach which provides miscellaneous funds of this nature can prevent postponing necessary
remodeling of facilities and,thus, avoid added cost or delay of potential savings to the county and
taxpayers. In addition,such an approach can also make better utilization of existing facilities in order
to avoid the acquisition of new space and facilities. Carpet replacement should be included in this
category.
Proposed Solution:
It is recommended that an amount of$100,000 per year be set aside for such projects in the Long
Range Capital Projects Plan.
Financing:
It is recommended the county budget $100,000 in each future year.
383
ACCUMULATIVE CAPITAL
OUTLAY/CONTINGENCY
Existing Situation:
If Weld County is to embark upon a number of ventures in capital projects over the next five years,
it is suggested the county proceed very cautiously and very conservatively in the area of financing.
To do this, it is suggested that a contingency be set aside each year on a pay as you go basis to
accommodate unanticipated cost increases or emergency situations which cannot be foreseen at
this time. If the contingency amount is accumulated over the next five years, it can be used as a
reserve for the capital projects program in future years, or it can be used as a funding mechanism
in years beyond 2009. The primary reserve would be for a future correctional facility or other
facilities at the North County Complex and South County administrative office sites.
Proposed Solution:
Budget any carry-over amount each year on a contingency basis that ultimately could be used to
meet any contingency or emergency situation,or could be used as an accumulation of capital outlay
funds for funding of projects beyond 2009.
Financing:
It is recommended that the county budget fund balance carry-overs in the capital fund each year as
a contingency.
384
MISCELLANEOUS FUNDS
385
AIRPORT
Existing Situation:
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners, with approval of the Airport Master Plan,
committed to participate in certain enhancements at the Airport facility, especially those
enhancements that will ensure the safety of airport operations. If the Board decides to continue to
participate in the joint funding of the Greeley/Weld County Airport Authority with the City of Greeley,
funds should be provided for in the Long Range Capital Projects Plan to accommodate the FAA
ADAP program during the next five years. Funds can also be made available to maintain FAA
constructed facilities.
Proposed Solution:
In the Long Range Capital Projects Plan for 2005, $9,868 is included to accommodate capital
improvements at the Greeley/Weld County Airport. If funding is provided, it should be for projects
that emphasize safety features and other essential enhancements to the current operation.
Financing:
Funding of$9,868 is included in the budget for 2005. State grants will account for the difference to
equal the $75,000 match in the Airport's 2005 Capital Improvement Plan.

CONSERVATION TRUST FUND
Existing Situation:
With the passage of SB119(The Colorado Lottery),40 percent of the proceeds of the lottery are
earmarked for Conservation Trust Funds in local governments. The earning potential of the lottery
is anticipated to be$350,000 per year. The funds must be used for"the acquisition, development
and maintenance of new conservation sites or for capital improvements or maintenance for
recreational purposes on any public site". (Section 29-21-101, C. R. S.) With the passage of
Amendment 8 (GO COLORADO) these funds should stabilize at$350,000 per year, plus lottery
sales growth. See Conservation Trust Fund for detailed discussion.
Proposed Solution:
The Board has the option to use the funds in the following ways:
1. Maintain and improve Island Grove Park.
2. Maintain and improve the Missile Site park.
3. Acquire and maintain open space.
4. Develop and maintain trails.
5. Other project requests from throughout the county.
Financing:
In addition to Conservation Trust Funds, it is recommended that the county finance parks and
recreation projects at a level of$125,000 in the Capital Expenditures Fund from property taxes.
Funds from 2005 forward are uncommitted.
388
ISLAND GROVE
Existing Situation:
Weld County and the City of Greeley currently have certain joint ventures and commitments to
develop the Island Grove Park facility. Some discussion has been held regarding the creation of an
Island Grove Park Authority for development and management of the facility.
Proposed Solution:
If the Board of County Commissioners decides to continue participation in the development of the
Island Grove facility, it is recommended that Conservation Trust Funds from the lottery be used to
the maximum amount prior to use of county general tax funds.
Financing:
It is recommended that the county finance any Island Grove enhancements with Conservation Trust
Funds resulting from the lottery to the maximum amount possible prior to use of general county tax
funds. Beginning in 2003, $100,000 per year in General Fund dollars has been committed to the
maintenance of an indoor arena facility. Also, in 2000 the County contributed$1,500,000 towards
the construction of the indoor arena facility, known as the Island Grove Community Building. The
facility was constructed and will be maintained jointly by the City of Greeley, Farm Show, and Weld
County. $250,000 was included in the 2004 General Fund budget to add air conditioning to the
Island Grove Community Building. The county contributed$1,500,000 in 2004 for the Island Grove
Park Master Plan that covers improvements to the park for the next 10 - 20 year period.

Budget Positions 49 42 41 41
SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The budget reflects an upgrade of four clerical positions that do
medical billing services for added collection and billing efforts to improve cash flow for the
Paramedic Service. These positions are very competitive in the market due to the high demand for
medical billing expertise. They are doing billing for other paramedic services for an added revenue
source. A 3.5% salary adjustment is included. A supervisor position has been eliminated with a
scheduled retirement in 2005.
A major change is the bad debt allowance,which grows with the amount billed due to non-payment
and the changes of having to accept assignment from Medicare and Medicaid. Other service and
supply accounts are stable. Funds are included to support sending two employees to paramedic
training,if needed due to shortage of qualified applicants. Capital includes monies to re-chassis two
ambulance fora savings of$45,000. Revenues are adjusted to reflect a rate increase of 15%,and
the small growth in calls. Rate increase of 15%is reflective of the cost-of living for health services
in the area.
OBJECTIVES: 1)To keep the Ambulance Service on a self-supporting (zero subsidy) basis; 2)
To maintain maximum possible collection ratios; and 3) To develop stable revenue sources.

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Paramedic Services has experienced a
cash flow problem the last three out of four fiscal years and required a cash infusion from the
General Fund. The problem has been caused by lower collections and the federal government
requiring acceptance of assignment of payment in full from both the Medicaid and Medicare
programs. The Medicare assignment began in April, 2002. The result is that only 47% of the
charged revenue is estimated to be collectible. Medicaid and Medicare patients are heavy users of
Paramedic Services. It is recommended to increase rates to the level of neighboring county
services. In addition, the department needs to continue to look at cost saving measures, such as
the reduction of an supervisor position in 2005 that is recommended.

PARAMEDIC SERVICE
(CONTINUED)
5000-23100
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION(CONTINUED):
Weld County Paramedic Services is experiencing what all public and private paramedic and
ambulance services are experiencing nationwide in trying to deal with finances of the service. Many
services are fighting for their very financial survival due to the loss of revenue from Medicare. The
federal government is forcing a cost shift to other paying patients;however,in many cases the rates
have reached a level that can go no higher in many communities. The result will be services going
out of business or being subsidized by general local tax dollars. Weld County is not to that extreme
yet, although the situation will have to be monitored. The possibility of Weld County once again
subsidizing the paramedic services of its citizens with property taxes may be the only alternative
in the future. The service has been self sufficient since the late 1980's; however, it may not always
be able to remain self sufficient if the federal government does not pay its fair share of patients
covered by their insurance programs. Weld County must continue to be creative in raising
supporting revenues,while at the same time being creative at holding down costs,yet still providing
an acceptable level of service to the community that is geographically spread over 4000 square
miles.

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:All requested vehicles are recommended,
except the two additional SUV's for the Sheriff and one Investigator vehicle for the Sheriff. The
additional Investigator position was not recommended, so no vehicle is required. The Sheriff had
requested three SUV's for Commanders to carry equipment for Homeland Security and other
purposes. Through discussions the three SUV vehicles were reduced to one additional SUV and a
reallocation of SUV's between the Investigators and Commanders to avoid having to add three SUV's
instead of one for a savings of$42,000.

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION(CONTINUED):
In 2005,as planned in 2004, the county is moving its health insurance plan to a consumer driven plan
that combines a high deductible PPO insurance policy along with an employer contribution to a health
reimbursement account to help pay for routine health costs. The high deductible policy protects the
insured from catastrophic losses,such as prolonged illness, hospitalization or simply an unexpected
period of poor health. The health reimbursement account (HRA) is controlled by the
individual,and is intended to pay for routine health care.The goal is make the employees aware of the
true cost of health care, with a program that will encourage employees and their families to make
more judicious spending decisions in return for paying lower insurance premiums and lower health
care costs. Any amount in the HRA that is unspent at year end can be carried over to the next year.
Thus, building a reserve for times of need. The county will still offer the HMO option for employees
wishing to pay higher premiums in exchange for less flexibility and less risk.
The county will benchmark the county's contribution to a mid-range health reimbursement account/
PPO plan. In future years the county contribution will increase with the cost of living increase for
health care,and not be based upon a combination of cost of living of healthcare and utilization,since
utilization will be controlled by each individual and their family. The 2005 program is calculated with
current participation as follows:
Single Coverage: 607
Dependent Coverage: 343
DENTAL AND VISION:
Administration/well Costs = $ 5,000
Fixed Costs: $ 5,000

Budget Positions
SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The budget is structured with Weld County remaining a member of
CAPP, but using the self-insured option under the insurance pool for a fixed cost of $231,800.
Effective January 1, 1992, Weld County became self-insured for workers compensation. Workers
Compensation includes excess insurance and bonds costing $86,000, claims administration costs
of$20,000,and a loss fund of$750,000. A loss fund for all other coverages is budgeted at$210,000.
Unemployment insurance is being charged directly to departments.
The program is supported by property tax ($750,000), charges for service ($240,000), interest
($50,000),and compensation for losses($100,000). Fund balance reserves of$157,800 support the
loss fund.
OBJECTIVES: Provide county-wide insurance coverage in most cost effective manner possible.

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of the insurance
program as outlined above in the summary of changes. In accordance with Section 8-44-204,C.R.S.,
it is recommended that a mill levy be used to fund the insurance program for local county activities
and a charge back mechanism be used only for programs funded by state and federal funding
sources. Weld County, through CAPP, has reduced limits of coverage and placed reliance on
sovereign immunity to stay within the budgeted amount. The legislative changes in 1986 strengthened
the county's position in the use of sovereign immunity limits in Colorado cases. In addition,the county
can levy up to 10 mills per year to discharge any judgment against it. Continuation of the self-insured
program for workers compensation is recommended, which should result in cost savings, plus no
shared risks with other counties. Unemployment costs are recommended to be charged directly to
departments for revenue raising strategies and departmental accountability for costs. The fund
enjoys a fund balance of$725,000 to safeguard against any extraordinary losses in a given year.

GLOSSARY
•
GLOSSARY
ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES All processes which discover, record, classify, and summarize
financial information to produce financial reports and to provide
internal control.
ACCRUAL BASIS The basis of accounting under which transactions are
recognized when they occur,regardless of the timing of related
cash flows.
ACCRUED EXPENSES Expenses incurred but not due until a later date.
ACTIVITY A specific and distinguishable line of work performed by one or
more organizational components of a government for the
purpose of accomplishing a function for which the government
is responsible. For example, "food inspection" is an activity
performed in the discharge of the "health" function.
ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION Expenditure classification according to the specific lines of work
performed by organization units. For example, "sewage
treatment and disposal", "garbage collection", "garbage
disposal", and "street cleaning" are activities performed in
carrying out the function of"sanitation". The segregation of the
expenditures made for each of these activities constitutes an
activity classification.
ALLOCATE To divide a lump-sum appropriation into parts which are
designated for expenditure by specific organizational units
and/or for specific purposes, activities, or objects.
ALLOCATED COSTS Indirect costs distributed to programs or departments via a cost
allocation plan.
ALLOCATION A part of a lump-sum appropriation which is designated for
expenditure by specific organizational units and/or for special
purposes, activities, or objects.
ALLOT To divide an appropriation into amounts which may be
encumbered or expended during an allotment period.
423
•
ALLOTMENT A part of an appropriation which may be encumbered or
expended during an allotment period.
ALLOTMENT PERIOD A period of time less than one fiscal year in length during which
an allotment is effective. Bi-monthly and quarterly allotment
periods are most common.
ANNUAL BUDGET A budget applicable to a single fiscal year.
APPROPRIATION A legal authorization granted by a legislative body to make
expenditures and to incur obligations for specific purposes. An
appropriation is usually limited in amount and as to the time
when it may be expended.
APPROPRIATION BILL,
ORDINANCE, RESOLUTION,
or ORDER A bill, ordinance, resolution, or order by means of which
appropriations are given legal effect. It is the method by which
the expenditure side of the annual operating budget is enacted
into law by the legislative body. In many governmental
jurisdictions, appropriations cannot be enacted into law by
resolution but only by a bill, ordinance, or order.
APPROPRIATION
EXPENDITURE An expenditure chargeable to an appropriation. Since virtually
all expenditures of governments are chargeable to
appropriations, the term expenditures by itself is widely and
properly used.
ASSESSED VALUATION A valuation set upon real estate or other property by a
government as a basis for levying taxes.
AUTHORITY A government or public agency created to perform a single
function or a restricted group of related activities. Usually such
units are financed from service charges, fees, and tolls, but in
some instances they also have taxing powers. An authority may
be completely independent of other governments or partially
dependent upon other governments for its creation,its financing,
or the exercise of certain powers.
AUTHORIZED POSITION A position (job) authorized by the Board of County
Commissioners as part of the annual adopted budget.
424
•
BOND An interest bearing promise to pay with a specific maturity.
BUDGET A plan of financial operation embodying an estimate of proposed
expenditures for a given period and the proposed means of
financing them. Used without any modifier, the term usually
indicates a financial plan for a single fiscal year. The term
"budget" is used in two senses in practice. Sometimes it
designates the financial plan presented to the appropriating body
for adoption and sometimes the plan finally approved by that
body. It is usually necessary to specify whether the budget
under consideration is preliminary and tentative or whether it
has been approved by the appropriating body.
BUDGET DOCUMENT The instrument used by the budget-making authority to present
a comprehensive financial program to the appropriating body.
The budget document usually consists of three parts. The first
part contains a message from the budget-making authority,
together with a summary of the proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them. The second consists of schedules
supporting the summary. These schedules show in detail the
information as to past years'actual revenues,expenditures,and
other data used in making the estimates. The third part is
composed of drafts of the appropriation,revenue,and borrowing
measures necessary to put the budget into effect.
BUDGET MESSAGE A general discussion of the proposed budget as presented in
writing by the budget-making authority to the legislative body.
The budget message should contain an explanation of the
principal budget items, an outline of the government's
experience during the past period and its financial status at the
time of the message, and recommendations regarding the
financial policy for the coming period.
BUDGETARY ACCOUNTS Accounts used to enter the formally adopted annual operating
budget into the general ledger as part of the management
control technique of formal budgetary integration.
BUDGETARY COMPARISONS Governmental GAAP financial reports must include
comparisons of approved budgeted amounts with actual results
of operations. Such reports should be subjected to an
independent audit, so that all parties involved in the annual
operating budget/legal appropriation process are provided with
assurances that government monies are spent in accordance
with the mutually agreed-upon budgetary plan.
425
BUDGETARY CONTROL The control or management of a government or enterprise in
accordance with an approved budget for the purpose of keeping
expenditures within the limitations of available appropriations
and available revenues.
BUDGETARY EXPENDITURES Decreases in net current assets. In contrast to conventional
expenditures, budgetary expenditures are limited in amount to
exclude amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Due to
their spending measurement focus, governmental fund types
are concerned with the measurement of budgetary
expenditures.
BUDGETED FUNDS Funds that are planned for certain uses but have not been
formally or legally appropriated by the legislative body. The
budget document that is submitted for Board approval is
composed of budgeted funds.
CALLABLE BONDS Bonds which are redeemable by the issuer prior to the maturity
date at a specified price at or above par.
CAPITAL BUDGET A plan of proposed capital outlays and the means of financing
them.
CAPITAL OUTLAY Expenditures for equipment,vehicles,or machinery that results
in the acquisition or addition to fixed assets.
CAPITAL PROGRAM A plan for capital expenditures to be incurred each year over a
fixed period of years to meet capital needs arising from the long-
term work program or otherwise. It sets forth each project or
other contemplated expenditure in which the government is to
have a part and specifies the full resources estimated to be
available to finance the projected expenditures.
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND A fund created to account for financial resources to be used for
the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other
than those financed by proprietary funds,Special Assessment
Funds, and Trust Funds).
CAPITAL RESOURCES Resources of a fixed or permanent character,such as land and
buildings, which cannot ordinarily be used to meet current
expenditures.

DEFAULT Failure to pay principal or interest when due. Defaults can also
occur for failure to meet nonpayment obligations, such as
reporting requirements, or when a material problem occurs for
the issuer, such as a bankruptcy.
DEFICIT (1) The excess of the liabilities of a fund over its assets.
(2) The excess of expenditures over revenues during an
accounting period; or, in the case of proprietary funds, the
excess of expense over income during an accounting period.
DEPRECIATION (1) Expiration in the service life of fixed assets, other than
wasting assets attributable to wear and tear, deterioration,
action of the physical elements,inadequacy,and obsolescence.
(2)The portion of the cost of a fixed asset other than a wasting
asset which is charged as an expense during a particular
period. In accounting for depreciation,the cost of a fixed asset,
427
less any salvage value, is prorated over the estimated service
life of such an asset, and each period is charged with a portion
of such cost. Through this process, the entire cost of the asset
is ultimately charged off as an expense.
DIRECT COSTS Costs that have a clearly identifiable beneficial or causal
relationship to the services performed.
DURATION The weighted maturity of a fixed-income investment's cash
flows, used in the estimation of the price sensitivity of
fixed-income securities for a given change in interest rates.
EDAP Economic Development Action Partnership.
ENCUMBRANCES Obligations in the form of purchase orders, contracts or salary
commitments which are chargeable to an appropriation and for
which a part of the appropriation is reserved. They cease to be
encumbrances when paid or when an actual liability is set up.
ENTERPRISE FUND A fund established to finance and account for the acquisition,
operation and maintenance of governmental facilities and
services which are entirely or predominantly self-supporting by
user charges. The Paramedic Services operates as an
Enterprise Fund.
ESTIMATED REVENUE The amount of projected revenue to be collected during the
fiscal year. The amount of revenue appropriated is the amount
approved by the Board.
EXPENDITURES Decreases in net financial resources. Expenditures include
current operating expenses which require the current or future
use of net current assets,debt service,and capital outlays. The
unmodified use of the term expenditures in this text is intended
to mean budgetary expenditures.
FISCAL PERIOD Any period at the end of which a government determines its
financial position and the results of its operations.
FISCAL YEAR A 12-month period to which the annual operating budget applies
and at the end of which a government determines its financial
position and the results of its operations.

to be held or used,such as land, buildings,improvements other
than buildings, machinery and equipment.
FTE(FULL-TIME
EQUIVALENT) Numeric equivalent of one person occupying one employment
position for one year(equivalent of 2,080 hours or 52 forty-hour
weeks).
FUNCTION A group of related activities aimed at accomplishing a major
service or regulatory program for which a government is
responsible. For example, public health is a function.
FUNCTIONAL
CLASSIFICATION Expenditure classification according to the principal purposes
for which expenditures are made. Examples are public safety,
public health, public welfare, etc.
FUND A fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of
accounts recording cash and other financial resources,together
with all related liabilities and residual equities or balances,and
changes therein, which are segregated for the purpose of
carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in
accordance with special regulations, restrictions,or limitations.
FUND BALANCE Fund balance is the excess of assets over liabilities and is
therefore also known as surplus funds.
GAAP(GENERALLY
ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES) Standards for financial accounting and reporting.

categorical or block depending upon the amount of discretion
allowed the grantee.
HIGHWAY USER TAX(HUTF) Revenue that is derived from the state gasoline tax, and
restricted for Road and Bridge activities.
INDETERMINATE
APPROPRIATION An appropriation which is not limited either to any definite period
of time or to any definite amount. A distinction must be made
between an indeterminate appropriation and a continuing
appropriation. In the first place, whereas a continuing
appropriation is indefinite only as to time, an indeterminate
appropriation is indefinite as to both time and amount. In the
second place, even indeterminate appropriations which are
indefinite only as to time are to be distinguished from continuing
appropriations in that such indeterminate appropriations may
eventually lapse. For example, an appropriation to construct a
building may be made to continue in effect until the building is
constructed. Once the building is completed, however, the
unexpended balance of the appropriation lapses. A continuing
appropriation, on the other hand, may continue forever; it can
only be abolished by specific action of the legislative body.
INDIRECT COSTS Costs associated with, but not directly attributable to, the
providing of a product or service. These costs are usually
incurred by other departments in the support of operating
departments.
INTERFUND TRANSFER Amounts transferred from one fund to another.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL
REVENUE Revenue received from another government for a specified
purpose. In Weld County,these are funds from municipalities,
the State of Colorado, and the Federal Government.

reimbursement basis, for example, the Printing and Supply
Fund and the Computer Services Fund.

legislative,administrative,executive,or judicial action as a direct
order or that is required as a condition of aid.

A mill is 1/10th of a penny, or$1.00 of tax for each $1,000 of
assessed valuation.
MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS The accrual basis of accounting adapted to the governmental
fund type Spending Measurement Focus. Under it, revenues
are recognized when they become both "measurable" and
"available to finance expenditures of the current period".
Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is
incurred except for:
(1) inventories of materials and supplies which may be
considered expenditures either when purchased or when used;
(2) prepaid insurance and similar items which need not be
reported;
(3) accumulated unpaid vacation,sick pay,and other employee
benefit amounts which need not be recognized in the current
period,butforwhich larger-than-normal accumulations must be
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements;
(4) interest on special assessment indebtedness which may be
recorded when due rather than accrued,if approximately offset

as fund transfers, and thus represents the true level of
programmed spending in the budget.
NON-DEPARTMENTAL A category established to account for expenses not associated
with any specific department, but all departments or many,

article purchased or the service obtained(as distinguished from
the results obtained from expenditures). Examples are personal
services, contractual services, materials, and supplies.
OPERATING BUDGET Plans of current expenditures and the proposed means of
financing them. The annual operating budget(or, in the case of
some state governments, the biennial operating budget)is the
primary means by which most of the financing acquisition,
spending, and service delivery activities of a government are
controlled. The use of annual operating budgets is usually
required by law. Even where not required by law, however,
annual operating budgets are essential to sound financial
management and should be adopted by every government.
OPERATING EXPENSES Proprietary fund expenses which are directly related to the
fund's primary service activities.
OPERATING GRANTS Grants which are restricted by the grantor to operating purposes
or which may be used for either capital or operating purposes
at the discretion of the grantee.
OPERATING INCOME The excess of proprietary fund operating revenues over
operating expenses.
OPERATING TRANSFER Routine and/or recurring transfers of assets between funds.
ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT A responsibility center within a government.
ORGANIZATION UNIT
CLASSIFICATION Expenditure classification according to responsibility centers
within a government's organization structure. Classification of
expenditures by organization unit is essential to fixing
stewardship responsibility for individual government resources.
OVERHEAD Those elements of cost necessary in the production of an article
or the performance of a service which are of such a nature that
the amount applicable to the product or service cannot be
determined accurately or readily. Usually they relate to those
objects of expenditure which do not become an integral part of
the finished product or service such as rent, heat, light,
supplies, management, supervision, etc.
432
•
PROGRAM An organized set of related work activities which are directed
toward a common purpose or goal and represent a well defined

REIMBURSEMENTS (1) Repayments of amounts remitted on behalf of another party.
(2) Interfund transactions which constitute reimbursements of
a fund for expenditures or expenses initially made from it which
are properly applicable to another fund --e.g., an expenditure
properly chargeable to a Special Revenue Fund was initially
made from the General Fund, which is subsequently
reimbursed. They are recorded as expenditures or expenses
(as appropriate)in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of the
1 expenditure or expense in the fund that is reimbursed.
RESERVE (1) An account used to earmark a portion of fund balance to
indicate that it is not appropriate for expenditure.
(2) An account used to earmark a portion of fund equity as
legally segregated for a specific future use.
RESIDUAL EQUITY
TRANSFER Non-recurring or non-routine transfers of assets between funds.
433
•

SUBFUNCTION A grouping of related activities within a particular governmental
function. For example,"police"is a subfunction of the function
"public safety".
SURPLUS The use of the term "surplus" in governmental accounting is
generally discouraged because it creates a potential for
misleading inference.
TABOR(TAXPAYERS
BILL OF RIGHTS) An amendment to the Colorado Constitution approved by the
voters in November 1992. The Taxpayers Bill of Rights has
been incorporated in the State Constitution as Section 20 of
Article X. The amendment limits growth in both state and local
government revenue and expenditures, makes provision for
annual elections,and requires voter approval for tax increases.
434
•

Spending" excluding bonded debt service. This reserve is for
use in declared emergencies only.
TANF Temporary Assistance to Needy Families.
TAXES Compulsory charges levied by a government for the purpose of
financing services performed for the common benefit. This

operating in a particular area. Overall tax rate limits usually
restrict levies for all purposes and of all governments,state and
local, having jurisdiction in a given area.
TAX ROLL The official list showing the amount of taxes levied against each
taxpayer or property. Frequently, the tax roll and the
assessment roll are combined, but even in these cases the two
can be distinguished.
TRADITIONAL BUDGET A term sometimes applied to the budget of a government
wherein expenditures are based entirely or primarily on objects
of expenditure.
