DOCKET NO. 2004-96
RE: 2005 FINAL BUDGET HEARING
A public hearing was conducted on December 15, 2004, at 9:00 a.m., with the following present:
Commissioner Robert D. Masden, Chair
Commissioner William H. Jerke, Pro-Tem
Commissioner M. J. Geile
Commissioner David E. Long
Commissioner Glenn Vaad
Also present:
Acting Clerk to the Board, Carol A. Harding
County Attorney, Bruce Barker
Director of Finance and Administration, Donald D. Warden
The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated November 5, 2004, and duly published
November 10, 2004, in the Fort Lupton Press, a public hearing was conducted to consider the Weld
County 2005 Final Budget. Donald Warden, Director of Finance and Administration, made this a
matter of record, and reviewed the 2005 Budget Changes, which includes all changes made since
the Proposed Budget was presented to the Board. He reviewed each of the changes and stated
the County Council approval to exceed the five percent Home Rule Charter limitation allows an
additional$1,411,484, of which$383,943 is shared back with municipalities. Mr.Warden indicated
the municipalities will actually receive more money next year than this year, even though the Mill
Levy is lower, at a total of 19.957 mills. Responding to Commissioner Vaad, Mr. Warden stated
the fund balances carried by other counties varies greatly; however, the Government Finance
Officer's Association (GFOA) recommends a two-month cash flow amount be carried over. He
stated Weld County's fund balance is 17.5 percent, which is very close to the 2-month amount,
since the budget is divided into 8.33 percent each month. Commissioner Vaad stated he
appreciates Mr. Warden's continued effort to maintain a healthy fund balance. Responding to
Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Warden stated the Parks and Trails amount is the historical amount;
however, it has been moved from Capital Outlay to its own budget unit to enable better tracking.
Responding further to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Warden stated the Proposed Budget included a
two percent cost-of-living increase in the ACS budget; however, there was actually a decrease of
seven-tenths percent, since it is benchmarked from the Consumer Price Index. Commissioner
Jerke also noted the switch with West Nile since it has basically run its course, although Weld
County will continue to monitor it. The funds were moved to traffic enforcement because of the
high number of traffic fatalities occurring
this year in Weld County.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter.
Commissioner Jerke moved to approve the Resolution summarizing expenditures and revenues
and adopting the 2005 Budget in the amount of$158,668,833. The motion, which was seconded
by Commissioner Long, carried unanimously.
