He stated the renewal has been increased to an amount not to exceed $81,971.00 for the term beginning
July 1, 2001, and ending June 30, 2002. Dr. Wallace explained staff has been reviewing whether it is
appropriate for the Health Department to be doing these types of investigations, and whether it would be
better suited to the Departments of Human Services and Social Services. In response to Commissioner
Masden, Dr. Wallace explained they have only been inspecting day care homes, not day care centers,
which are licensed separately through the State. Responding to Commissioner Vaad, Dr. Wallace stated
Weld County is accountable to the Colorado Department of Human Services,and is covered by the State's
liability. Mr. Warden explained the State department has limited staff, and when the County had reports
of problems,they approached the State and proposed the Health Department handle part of the case load
on a local level. Dr. Wallace reiterated it may be better to consider having the Departments of Human
Services and Social Services conduct these inspections and investigations in the future. In response to
Commissioner Vaad, Dr. Wallace stated they provide the State with a report regarding background
investigations, as well as any inspection reports. Commissioner Vaad stated since there is not enough
personnel to adequately handle the case load, he is in favor of continuing this program. Commissioner
Long moved to approve said contract and authorize the Chair to sign. Commissioner Masden seconded
the motion, which carried unanimously.
