CROSIER ATTORNEY AT LAW 1010 9TH AVENUE GREELEY, COLORADO 80631 (303)356-1115 June 9 , 1983 D rn �i JUN 1 61983 I Weld County Commissioners \ r 1J Weld Centennial Center LLL777 GREELEY. COLO. Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE : Alvin Garcia and Colony Improvement Corporation Dear Commissioners : I am writing in behalf of Alvin Garcia regarding the ballfields located near the Colony north of Greeley . As I understand it , the background is as follows : The Colony Improvement Corporation was established in approximately 1970 as a non-profit corporation. The present directors are Alvin Garcia, Jessie Gomez , and Ray Jojola. On September 26 , 1979 the Weld County Commissioners adopted a resolution which, among other things , designated Alvin Garcia as a caretaker and prescribed certain duties for him to perform. That resolution also permitted Mr. Garcia to charge $5 . 00 per game for tournaments . At one time or another , Weld County had expressed an intention to level the playing fields in order to prepare them for ballgames . For whatever reason, that job got delayed and Mr. Garcia contacted Flatiron Paving and they leveled the fields free of charge for Mr . Garcia , a service worth approximately $14 , 000. 00 . Mr . Garcia has also borrowed money in his own name to purchase the materials and labor to erect a fence at the ballfields . He has totalled personal indebtedness for that project in the amount of approximately $3 , 000 . 00 . He would also like to get Greeley water and sewer services to the field for a cost of approximately $2 , 000 . 00 . Mr. Garcia would also like to get electricity to the field which would be put there at no cost , however , there must be an agreement that monthly charges would be paid for at least five years . In behalf of Mr. Garcia , I respectfully ask you to consider the following: CC. &Dt42 Vtau:„,A, '�'- 1 . That Weld County deed the fields to the Colony Improvement Corporation , OR , 2 . That Weld County enter into a five , ten year or perhaps longer lease with the Colony Improvement Corporation . 3 . Either under the auspicus of alternative 1 or 2 , Mr . Garcia would like the Colony Improvement Corporation to be able to charge $50 per tournament with an optional charge of $50 per diamond for lining and raking the fields during tournaments . The last charge would of course , be optional to the teams and they could elect to do this themselves out of their own pocket . 4 . Mr. Garcia would like the permission and ability to recover the cost he has put forward for the fences by means of having the exclusive right to run the concession stand at the fields . Your consideration of these matters would be greatly appreciated and by this letter , I would ask that at the earliest convenient time , you place this matter on your official agenda for considera- tion and contact Mr . Garcia and myself so we may be present to answer any questions you may have . For your convenience , please find enclosed, a photocopy of resolution that I have referred to earlier in this correspondence . Please also be advised that in initially discussing this matter with Mr . Norm Carlson , he remembered the possibility that the land on which the fields are situated may have been originally donated to the County by Mr . Ken Monfort and that any such donation might have some conditions or restrictions for future use . Thanking you in advance for your consideration of these matters , I remain, Very ruly yours , William L .
