Tape 84/136
The Weld County Council met in regular session in full conformity with
the Weld County Home Rule Charter at 915 Tenth Street, Greeley, Colorado,
June 7, 1984, at 1 :45 p.m.
ROLL CALL
The following members were present in person: President Ralph Waldo,
Vice President DeAnn Emerson, and Bill Rupp. Patricia Anderson and Don
Elliott were absent. Also present for all or part of the meeting were Don
Warden, three members of the press, and the Council secretary.
MINUTES
The minutes of May 3, 1984, were approved as written.
ADDITIONS AND/OR DELETIONS
The following items were added at the agenda: a bill from Hyland Associates
for $1 ,961 .40, correspondence regarding county insurance bids, and a complaint
regarding building inspections in the Roggen area.
The Executive Session scheduled for 3:00 was deleted from the agenda.
APPOINTMENTS
The President reminded the Council of their upcoming appointments. Bill
Rupp stated that he felt a Councilman should be present at each of the Commissioners '
regular meetings in an effort to improve communications. The secretary was
instructed to ask Mr. Hyland to try to attend the June 25 Road and Bridge
worksession.
CORRESPONDENCE
The President made the Correspondence File available for the individual
review of Council members.
REPORTS
Ralph Waldo presented a Report to the People regarding the status of the
Commissioners' overpayment. The report stated that four commissioners have
made payments as scheduled. Commissioner Martin has paid back the entire amount
as of May 9. As explained by Don Warden, he will consequently be repaying less
money than the other commissioners. The lesser amount reflects adjustments in
FICA, retirement and taxes withheld.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
The President made a report regarding the ongoing audit of the Road and
Bridge Department. Mr. Hyland has finished the preliminary study and has con-
cluded that there are definite problems in the administration of the department.
Mr. Hyland intends to have a final report available to the Council by their July 5
meeting.
The Council received a memorandum from the Commissioners regarding county
bid awarding procedures. Bill Rupp expressed disappointment in the content of
the correspondence. He felt the memorandum spoke to the general policy only,
not the specific incidents the Council questioned.

MINUTES, WELD COUNTY COUNCIL PAGE TWO JUNE 7, 1984
Dollarhide & Schwartz, county auditors, requested a copy of the 1983
audit of the Purchasing Department authorized by the Council . Mr. Hyland,
the auditor who conducted the study, informed Mr. Waldo that he had no
objections to the release of the report. Bill Rupp made a motion that a
copy be submitted to them. DeAnn Emerson seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously. Bill Rupp further moved that a copy be presented to the
Commissioners for their information. DeAnn Emerson seconded this motion
which also passed unanimously.
DeAnn Emerson moved that the May bills be paid. This motion was seconded
by Bill Rupp and carried unanimously.
Bill Rupp presented the Council with a letter he had received concerning
county insurance benefits. The author of the letter listed reasons why he
felt the awarding of the insurance bid was arbitrary. DeAnn Emerson recalled
that this is something which the public previously has brought to the attention
of the Council ; therefore, she felt more research should be done on the subject.
Bill Rupp made a motion to contact the local insurance association to conduct a
review of insurance programs of the county. DeAnn Emerson seconded the motion
and it passed unanimously.
Since Patricia Anderson was unable to attend this meeting, she sent word
to the Councilmen of a problem she had been confronted with. A citizen com-
plained that there are remodeling projects in the Roggen area which are being
done without building permits. Purportedly there are also violations of
electrical , plumbing and natural gas regulations. Mrs. Anderson had visited
the building sites and felt this was a legitimate cause of concern. The Council
decided to invite the head of the Planning Department and a building inspector
to their July 5 meeting to discuss these allegations.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. The time of
adjournment was 3:00 p.m. , on June 7, 1984.
The next scheduled meeting is Thursday, July 5, 1984, at 1 :45 p.m.
