APPOINTMENTS

CORRESPONDENCE
The President either read correspondence received by the council or made

REPORTS
Patricia Anderson made a verbal report concerning Weld County Road 41 . She
has received several complaints from constituents about the impassability of
this road and has been advising them to contact the county commissioners as well
as the Road and Bridge Advisory Committee.
DeAnn Emerson has recently received questions from the public concerning the
availability of Weld County Industrial Revenue Bonds. She stated that she felt
inadequate to reply to their inquiries, not knowing enough about the subject. •
The council members agreed that this would be an area they would all like more
information about. Bill Rupp suggested that Don Warden be requested to make an
explanatory presentation to the council . Council members decided to schedule
this immediately following their next council meeting, April 7, 1983, at 3:00 p.m.
It is hoped the meeting can be conducted in the first floor meeting room to accom-
modate the interested public. The secretary was requested to make the necessary
arrangements.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Ron Lambden joined the meeting at 2:00 p.m. to answer questions concerning
his legal opinion on county funds. Mr. Lambden stated that each entity receiving
county funds must be handled individually as regards council audit authority.
However, in the future, the commissioners could legally require any entity partially

funded by the county to sign a contract prior to receiving funds stating they
would allow a council audit. If the county already has contracts with these
entities, this provision could merely be added to the already existing contracts.
The council , of course, has no authority to enter into contracts with these
entities; therefore, the matter is up to the commissioners. Don Elliott stated
that he has a worksession with the commissioners on March 7, 1983, and he would
ask them what objections, if any, they would have to such an arrangement. DeAnn
Emerson, making reference to Section 13-8 (6) of the Home Rule Charter, stated
the purpose of these audits would be to measure "efficiency, responsiveness,
adherance to statutes, law and regulations, and other matters as the Council
deems advisable. "
NEW BUSINESS
In view of the fact that some council members have a conflict with the
1 :30 p.m. meeting time of the council , a motion was made by Ralph Waldo that
effective April 7, 1983, the meeting time be moved to 1 :45 p.m. The meeting
day shall remain the same, the first Thursday of each month. Patricia
Anderson seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Bill Rupp moved that the February council bills be paid. This motion
was seconded by Ralph Waldo and carried unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Don Elliott moved that the meeting be
adjourned. Patricia Anderson seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
The time of adjournment was 2:55 p.m. , March 3, 1983.
The next scheduled meeting is Thursday, April 7, 1983, at 1 :45 p.m.
