WELD COUNTY COUNCIL
REPORT TO THE PEOPLE
April 18, 2000
The Weld County Council is mandated by the Home Rule Charter of Weld
County, Colorado, to report to the people matters relating to the Council's review of
Weld County government. This report summarizes the activities of the Weld County
Council during the first quarter of the calendar year 2000.
January 18, 2000 - Weld County Centennial Center
• Mr. Al Roberts was elected president of the Council for 2000. Mr. Rob Masden
was elected vice president.
• The Council heard a report from Councilman Dan Oster regarding conduct of the
Weld County Coroner. The Council determined that the verbal complaints
received from a citizen about the County Coroner were without merit:
• Councilman Dan Oster reported that Weld County Clerk and Recorder
Tsukamoto is well pleased with the action of Organizational Development
Services, the management firm reviewing her department.
• President Roberts will be checking with the Weld County Planning and Zoning
Department about a business located at the corner of Weld County Road 20 '/
and Weld County Road 7 that appears to be not operating in compliance with
County zoning ordinances.
February 15, 2000 - Weld County Centennial Center
• Mr. Ed Herring, Director of the Sheriff Department's Office of Emergency
Management, was the guest speaker. He gave a report about the successful
preparation for any feared Y2K glitches and explained the history of Weld
County's emergency preparedness efforts. He also reviewed the breadth of
emergency activities for which his office coordinates preparedness, discussing
and answering questions about each feature of Weld County's emergency
preparedness plan.
• The Council received the Management & Organizational Study of the Weld
County Clerk and Recorder's Office, December 1999.

Report to the People

• Council members committed to do homework about the width of Weld County
roads.
• President Roberts reported that Weld County's Code Enforcement Officer is in
the process of getting the business at the corner of Weld County Road 20 1//2 and
Weld County Road 7 in compliance with County regulations. Depending on the
progress of that endeavor, there may be no code violation issued to the business.
• The Council reviewed the petition used to get on the ballot to run for the Weld
County Council. President Al Roberts said that he would pass Councilman
Oster's suggestion to County Attorney Bruce Barker that more space be made
on the proposed petition in the areas where the signers must write arid that the
smallest print and space be reserved for places that the public is not required to
fill in.
• President Al Roberts and Councilman Dan Oster reported on their research into
complaints that the Board of County Commissioners had not accepted the lowest
bid when purchasing road graders. Councilman Roberts and Councilman Oster
felt that the process that considers cost of operation and resale values was
legitimate and well done.
March 21, 2000 - Weld County Centennial Center
• Councilman Dwaine Kurtz was elected vice-president of the Council replacing
former Councilman Rob Masden who had filed to run for County Commissioner
for District 3.
• The Council made plans to interview applicants for the District 3 Council position
on March 23.
• A time-line for 2000 setting salaries for the Board of County Commissioners was
considered along with the precise salary-setting responsibility of the Council to
be completed in 2000.
• Council members reported their observations about the condition and width of
Weld County roads including a specific drainage problem. Council members
agreed that the Council's only role in such matters is to forward specific
problems to Mr. Becker, Operations Manager of Road and Bridge.
March 23, 2000 - Weld County Centennial Center
• Council members interviewed two applicants for the District 3 Council position.
Mr. Mitchell Martin was appointed District 3 Councilman.
