ADDITIONS AND/OR DELETIONS There were no additions to or deletions from the agenda. APPOINTMENTS The Vice President urged members to attend the July 12, 1982, Elected Officals' meeting. CORRESPONDENCE Jerry Snapp's letter of June 22, 1982, addressed to President DeAnn Emerson was discussed. It was decided that a reply should be made, but the matter would best be handled at the August 5, 1982, council meeting when the President would be in attendance. This was put in motion by Ralph Waldo, seconded by Donald Elliott, and was passed unanimously. • OLD BUSINESS The resolution adopted June 3, 1982, regarding Jerry Snapp's conflict of interest was signed by council members in attendance. NEW BUSINESS Ralph Waldo made a motion that the 1983 County Council proposed budget be submitted as drafted to the Finance Department. Donald Elliott seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Patricia Anderson moved that the June council bills be paid. This motion was seconded by Ralph Waldo and passed unanimously. County Attorney Thomas David had requested a ruling from the council regarding Pro Bono legal services to indigents. In view of the provisions of the Weld County Home Rule Charter, the council feels it would be inappropriate for county attorneys to perform these services during county time. If they choose to do so on their own time, that is entirely up to them. If they do in fact choose to do this, they could, of course, not involve themselves in legal matters pertaining to the county. This decision was placed in motion by Ralph Waldo, seconded by Patricia Anderson, and passed unanimously. 820884 fl r'1 MINUTES, WELD COUNTY COUNCIL PAGE TWO 07-01-82 Betty Rhoden of the Weld County Purchasing Department attended the meeting at council 's request.
