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.
