municipalities within Weld County. Responding to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Hempen stated some of the
roads are new; however, the most effective method in instances of roads half owned by the town, for the
County to take care of roadside spraying instead of both providing the same or overlapping service.

October 15, 2001. Commissioner Long moved to approve said temporary closures. Commissioner
Masden seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
CONSIDER REQUEST FROM NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL ADVISORY BOARD FOR INTEGRATED
WEED MANAGEMENT PLANS: Mr. Hempen stated the Noxious Weed Control Advisory Board is
requesting approval of letters to 34 property owners from whom they wish to seek integrated weed
management plans. He stated that most of the property owners are along waterways or have a significant
amount of property infested, or are delinquent in dealing with noxious weeds. Mr. Hempen said the letter
offers help in developing a management plan. Responding to questions from Commissioner Jerke and
Vaad, Mr. Barker stated Ron Broda, Department of Public Works,asked about one of the land owners who
had a pending land use case, and whether that fact should be brought to the Board's attention. Mr. Barker
stated he directed Mr. Broda to handle this matter in its normal course of business, since the weed issue
was not brought before the Board, even for approval to enter onto the property; therefore, the normal
process should not be changed because a land use permit was pending. Commissioner Jerke stated it
would have been helpful to have known about the noxious weeds during last week's land use hearing, and
Mr. Hempen pointed out that staff would normally propose a condition regarding management and control
of noxious weeds. Chair Geile suggested to Mr. Barker that staff might include a review of the
performance of an applicant in any area that might be remiss, i.e, noxious weeds, zoning violations, poor
performance record in another entity. CommissionerJerke moved to approve said request. Commissioner
Long seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN - COLORADO ACTION FOR HEALTHY PEOPLE: Commissioner
Vaad moved to approve said agreement/contract and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by
Commissioner Masden, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: ITEMIZING LEGAL HOLIDAYS DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2002: Mr.
Warden stated said resolution is to establish the eleven legal holidays for the calendar year 2002, which
follows the normal process. He explained that Colorado Day, Martin Luther King's Birthday,and Columbus
Day are typically teamed with another holiday to allow four day weekends,since managers found too many
people requesting those single days as vacation days, and also determined they were typically low volume
days. Commissioner Masden moved to approve said draft Resolution. Commissioner Long seconded the
motion, which carried unanimously.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: AMENDMENTS TO 457 PLAN: Mr. Warden stated the Tax Reform Bill
allows eight amendments for the County to use to give more flexibility to its 457 Plan. He summarized
each provision and recommended adoption of all but the last amendment, stating our plan has never
included the loan provision, so that amendment should not be adopted. Commissioner Vaad moved to
approve said Resolution. Commissioner Masden seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
