To the Weld Board of County Commissioners
Subject: Vogl annexation to Firestone-annexation impact report
IL
Dear Commissioners:
I cannot find in the Board files, nor listed in the "communications" section
of the Board's agendas, evidence that an annexation impact report has been filed
with the Board by the Town of Firestone for the Vogl annexations. The Town
voted to annex this property on 10/25/01.
CRS31-12-108.5 [1] states; "The municipality shall prepare an impact
report concerning the proposed annexation at least twenty-five days before the
date of the hearing established pursuant to section 31-12-108 and shall file one
copy with the board of county commissioners governing the area proposed to be
annexed within five days thereafter". Since there is no record of a waiver of the
report by the Board, I request that it determine the circumstances for the
apparent violation of the requirements of the statute by Town government.
I refer you to a letter dated 3/4/96 sent to the Town by the then chairperson of the
Board, Barbara Kirkmeyer, in which she states: "The Board of County
Commissioners does not believe a motion for reconsideration is necessary in this
instance, however, the Board may consider such a motion for future annexations
by the Town of Firestone if the impact report requirements set forth in Section 31-
12-108.5, CRS., are not fully addressed". Over the years there have been other
instances of the Town failing to file impact reports.
In view of this, the Board might want to consider a motion for
consideration relating to the subject annexation if the allegations of non-
compliance in this communication are confirmed.
