required,and the funds will be used only for educational materials and media. He explained the State has
agreed that funding already received from the Master Tobacco Settlement that is being used for educational
materials, can be used for the $2,500.00 match. He stated this funding will be used primarily by the
Tobacco Free Weld County Coalition which will help the existing tobacco programs. In response to
Commissioner Jerke, Dr. Wallace stated this funding will not go toward any future political campaigns to
create"No Smoking"ordinances. Commissioner Geile moved to approve said application and authorize
the Chair to sign. The motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Jerke, carried unanimously.
CONSIDER REAPPOINTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE OFFICER:Mr.Warden explained State statute
requires the Board to appoint a Veterans Officer every two years. He stated the current term expires July 1,
2003, and staff recommends Pat Persichino be reappointed for an additional two years. Commissioner
Geile moved to reappoint Pat Persichino as the Veterans Services Officer,with a term to expire June 30,
2005. Commissioner Masden seconded the motion. In response to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Warden
explained starting in 1947, the State of Colorado gave$600 for a full-time veterans office. He stated two
years ago that amount was increased to$2,400; however, that funding has been eliminated this year, so
it will be 100 percent County funded. He further stated provision of this office is not mandatory; however,
if the service is eliminated,veterans will have to go through a veterans office or organization because they
cannot go directly to the Colorado Veterans Affairs. Mr. Warden further stated this costs Weld County
approximately $40,000 every year,which is very cost effective since Weld County only has one officer and
an assistant. Responding further to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Persichino stated without this service,
veterans would have to go to a veterans organization, such as American Legion, Disabled American
Veterans,etcetera,to receive services. In response to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Persichino stated the
office is co-located on 8th Avenue with the Disabled American Veterans Single Housing Shelter, which
provides temporary shelter for fourteen veterans. Mr.Warden stated the County receives an annual report
from the State, and the last report indicated approximately$32 million was brought in for the veterans of
Weld County to be used for medical care,pensions,education,etcetera.There being no further discussion,
the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER AGREEMENT FOR ISLAND GROVE EXHIBITION BUILDING HVAC PROPOSAL AND
AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN-GENERAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING: Mr.Persichino stated staff
recommends accepting the proposal from General Heating and Air Conditioning for $136,704, which
includes all consulting, electrical wiring, roof work, gas piping, and provides heating and cooling to the
