to cover damage caused to Weld County roads by oil and gas activities. He explained that due to an
increased demand, it is anticipated that oil and gas rig equipment will begin causing damage to roads
again and he recommends the fee to obtain a special transport permit be temporarily increased from
$500.00 to $1,000.00 to help keep the trust fund in balance until the activities decrease. Mr. Warden

to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Warden stated the original agreement covers the damage caused to the
