NEW BUSINESS
Proposed Amendment from Robert Ray. Robert Ray was asked by the council
to draft a proposed amendment to the Weld County Home Rule Charter, Section III-
8(4)(b) , which would permit the Board of County Commissioners to sell land of
minimal value by resolution and order rather than by ordinance.
The proposed amendment received changed the second sentence of the section
to read as follows:
"Unless otherwise required by statute, the Board shall act only
by ordinance in matters of legislation and appropriations. In
matters of contracts and the disposition of real property,
one general ordinance shall be enacted setting forth the procedures
which must be followed before the County may enter into a
contract, and another general ordinance shall be enacted setting
forth the procedures which must be followed before a disposition
of any real property owned by the County may be made. In all
other matters the Board may act by ordinance, resolution or
motion, as may be appropriate. "
