NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that the following Weld County Comprehensive Plan documents be repealed: Chapter 3 , Section C. through E. (pages 66-83) , Chapter 4 , Section A. , Subsection 3-5 , (pages 130 and 131) , and the Mineral Resource Study and Extraction Plan and re-enacted as an Ordinance to read as follows: 871752 ORD0147A Page 2 RE: ORDINANCE #147-A N W - o � N MINERAL RESOURCES o 0 The Mineral Resource Section has been developed in x conformance with Title 34 , Article 1 , Section 304 , CRS . This < o Section of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan is intended to y N provide appropriate goals and policies to utilize the County' s z mineral resources and to ensure that adverse environmental a w effects resulting from surface mining operations are minimized. Weld County recognizes that mineral resource extraction is u1 an essential industry. The availability and cost of materials a 0 such as sand and gravel has an economic effect on the general y\ construction and highway construction industry. F,, � In some instances , sites containing significant quantities z U' of mineral deposits are located in areas characterized by other ncco land-uses and natural resources. Because the uncontrolled rl J operation of a mine site has the potential for adversely x affecting surrounding land-uses, roads , residents, and the a environment, a Use by Special Review permit is required in an - h.) accordance with the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. mac„ As of 1987 , the mineral resources known to be located in Weld County include sand and gravel, coal, and uranium. The 0 maps at the end of this section illustrate the wide distribution 0 of minerals within the County. These mineral deposits vary z o greatly in quantity and quality. o0 Most of the high quality sand and gravel deposits in Weld County are found along major drainages, either under the flood e plains or in adjacent stream terraces. Some lower quality deposits are found in older alluvial deposits . Aeolian sand o deposits can be found in some upland areas. Map #5 , located in the back cover pocket, shows the distribution of sand and gravel o deposits in Weld County. A major portion of Weld County is underlain with coal. This coal forms a portion of the Boulder-Weld field, which is included in the Denver Basin coal region. Map #6 , located in the back cover pocket, shows the distribution and classification of coal deposits in Weld County. Portions of Weld County, north of Colorado State Highway 14 , have been tested and have shown occurrences of uranium deposits . Currently, there are no producing uranium mine sites in the County. MINERAL RESOURCE GOALS 1 . Conserve lands which provide valuable natural mineral deposits for potential future use in accordance with Colorado State Law. 2 . Promote the reasonable and orderly development of mineral resources. 3 . Minimize the impacts of surface mining activities on surrounding land-uses , roads , and highways.

ORD0147A Page 5 RE: ORDINANCE #147-A ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND NATURAL RESOURCES a INTRODUCTION oHi N 7 The County' s growing population is a threat to W o environmental quality and natural resources . Each land-use x change often has an unanticipated effect on the environment n which may produce undesirable results . Erosion, sedimentation, w o reduced water quality, loss of productive farmland, and reduced t•: fish and wildlife habitats are a few of the problems which are z facing Weld citizens. a Natural resources are both limited and interdependent. The m w misuse, degradation, or destruction of any natural resource O N alters the usefulness and availability of others. In order to X o meet the goals and policies identified in this section, y k0 officials of the County, as well as each citizen, must take an m active part in conserving and preserving natural resources and z 0 the environment. The primary elements which follow should be n 0 evaluated in the review of each County land-use application. r However, this does not mean that these are the only x environmental quality and natural resource problems in the a County. N zN m n WATER o 6 Weld County lies in a semi-arid region where water is Xl o available as a result of aquifers and a rather extensive system o of canals and reservoirs. Over the years there has been a large m o investment in facilities to collect and store water from r o mountain snows and distribute it to the plains where it can be n used efficiently. The intensive agricultural development in the o 0 broad valleys of the South Platte River and its tributaries, o which flow into Weld County from the west, is based on n tsJ irrigation from this water system. The development of water resources has allowed more than agriculture to prosper in Weld County. Industry, commerce, and homes , as well as cities and towns , are all dependent on an adequate water supply. The availability of an adequate supply of water has become an important determinant when evaluating a land-use application. The issue of adequate water quality to serve an intended use is also a critical factor. The Federal Clean Water Act requires the control of all water pollution throughout the nation. The Environmental Protection Agency is required to establish regulations and guidelines to implement this law. It is then up to the states, municipalities , counties, and special districts to develop programs and construct facilities to specifically control pollution. OPD0147A Page 6 RE: ORDINANCE #147-A The Water Quality Control Commission, a citizen board appointed by the governor, subject to conformation by the State Senate, defines water quality regulations and policies. The Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of , to Health administers the Water Quality Program throughout the State on a regional basis. As a part of the water quality plan, o ,- Weld County has been designated a management agency for its m .a o jurisdiction. As a management agency, Weld County has a responsibility to ry� 'h exercise land-use authority based on water quality z n considerations. This responsibility is partly fulfilled by Rio evaluating water quality considerations associated with land-use zI ; proposals in accordance with the standards set forth in this z E- Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Subdivision m u, Regulations. C Ln to co o AIR �� H Fa Z Since the early 1970 ' s , the country and state have become increasingly aware of air quality responsibilities . The Federal r co Environmental Protection Agency has passed legislation requiring Li states to establish standards to protect air quality. The x Colorado State Legislature passed the Air Quality Control Act on 2' . April 10th, 1970 , to comply with Federal Legislation. m State Air Quality Regulations and Policies are defined by m the Air Quality Control Commission, a citizen board appointed by o the Governor, subject to confirmation by the State Senate. The z Air Pollution Control Division of the Colorado Department of t4 Health administers the Air Pollution Control Program throughout z o the State on a regional basis with the participation of local Z o governments and local health agencies. o As part of the Northern Front Range Region, Weld County is monitored by the State in several areas. The pollutants n currently causing the most concern are carbon monoxide , ozone, and particulate matter. The major urban area in Weld County is n N Greeley. As is true with most urban areas, the use of the motor O -4 vehicle is a major source of air pollution. In addition, there are a number of other sources of pollution, such as power plants, cement manufacturing, mining, electronics, residential wood burning, dust from unpaved roads, and agricultural operations. As a land-use regulatory authority, Weld County is responsible for decisions which can have a significant effect on air quality. For example, the way that land develops can determine the need to use the automobile. By encouraging residential, commercial, and industrial development to occur within the municipalities , urban growth boundary areas , and the 1-25 Mixed Use Development area, County policies are promoting ORD0147A Page 7 RE: ORDINANCE #147-A proximity of jobs and services to residences which can limit automobile pollution. NOISE IMPACTS it to Noise is a source of environmental pollution. Exposure to o excessive noise levels over prolonged periods can be a threat to Ul o health. Excess noise often has an adverse physiological and psychological affect on human beings . Noise pollution is not a ig pervasive problem in unincorporated Weld County. However, noise z n impacts from certain industries, airports, and some highly `� o traveled roads could reduce the livability of nearby residences . > N.) Through noise level regulations passed by the State z Legislature, specific noise standards have been established for N ln areas in the County where commercial , industrial , and c residential uses are located. cno ti"-- WILDLIFE H The abundance of wildlife in Weld County is an important n co ri contributor to the economic health and quality of life in Weld County. The acquisition of properties to provide habitat for x r Colorado' s Wildlife and to provide public hunting and fishing a opportunities has long been an important part of the Colorado a N Division of Wildlife ' s management program. As an added emphasis �� " on the importance of these lands, private groups also lease several of these sites for recreational activities such as fishing, hunting, and boating. Maintaining wildlife habitats in iyv sufficient supply is necessary to encourage the social and o economic benefit we receive from this resource. Map #7 , located in the back cover pocket, shows most of the important wildlife r o habitat areas in the County. It can be noted that the important d wildlife areas are often closely associated with important water n supply and aquifer recharge areas. o n N of SOLID WASTE The solid waste management goals and policies in Weld County address the collection, sanitary storage, and disposal of various solid waste materials such as residential, commercial, and industrial garbage by direct customer-hauler contracts and municipal collection . Land disposal is the predominant method of waste disposal in Weld County and the region. The expansion of an existing landfill or the siting of a new landfill requires the development of plans through an application process . The application process identifies the steps to be taken to provide ORD0147A Page 8 PE: ORDINANCE #147-A for the safe and efficient disposal of the quantities and types of solid waste that are expected to be received. An application for a disposal site will be evaluated in detail regarding the adequacy of: access roads , grades, leacheate and drainage control measures, fencing, utilities, volume requirements, site improvements , reclamation plans, and day-to-day operations, 'r W including equipment requirements. In addition, compatibility with existing and future land uses in the area must be n, � demonstrated in terms of visual degradation, pollution, traffic, O% O dust, noise , scale, density, topograpic form, geology, operating 3� plans, and reclamation plans. z n The daily operation of a solid waste disposal site can be an incompatible land-use if it is located in proximity to areas no containing residential, commercial, and light industrial uses or z areas designated for future expansion of the same. For example, land-use incompatibility can become an issue if it is determined t w that the landfill site will cause negative impacts by visually degrading or polluting other surrounding land uses. Currently, there are seven landfills open and operating in Hke Weld County. There is also one transfer station southeast of H Berthoud and one recycling center in Greeley. Their locations z are shown on Map #8 , located on page 81 . n m The Central Weld (Greeley-Milliken) , North Weld (Eaton) , Keenesburg, and Nunn sites principally serve Weld County w residents . The Longmont, Columbine, and Erie Landfills serve residents in the Denver, Boulder, and Longmont metropolitan R' �, areas. The Central Weld Landfill was opened in 1971 . The size of this site is 108 acres . The landfill is located approximately 2 O miles northeast of Milliken and 3 miles south of Greeley. More specifically, the site lies west of Weld County Road 27 and W o north of State Highway 60 . This landfill has an estimated o service area of 530 square miles and serves a population of 83 ,000 . The service area of this landfill includes the 0 residents of Greeley, Evans, Garden City, Milliken , Johnstown, La Salle, Platteville, Kersey, and Gilcrest. o m The Central Weld Landfill receives between 700 to 800 cubic o yards of waste per day and has a remaining capacity of between o 6 .3 and 12 .6 million cubic yards . With an estimated growth rate in waste of 3% per year as of 1987 , the site is projected to have a remaining life of anywhere between 20 and 60 years . The North Weld (Eaton) Landfill was opened in 1965 . The size of this site is 18 acres . This landfill is located 2-1/2 miles northeast of Eaton; west of Weld County Road 43 and north of Weld County Road 78 . The North Weld Landfill has an estimated service area of 339 square miles with a service area population of 13 ,700 . The service area includes the residents of Ault, Eaton, Pierce, Severance, and Windsor. The site receives approximately 200 cubic yards of refuse a day and is almost at capacity. ORD0147A Page 9 RE: ORDINANCE #147-A The Keenesburg Landfill was opened in 1977 . This site is 3 .9 acres in size. The landfill is located approximately 2 miles north of Keenesburg; west of Weld County Road 59 and north of Weld County Road 20 . The service area for this landfill is estimated at 398 square miles and serves a population base of 7,400 . No information is available on the life expectancy, o remaining capacity, or the amount of waste received per day. Jo The Nunn Landfill is located in the Town of Nunn, south of Lincoln Street and it opened sometime in the 1950 ' s . The landfill is situated on 5 acres of land and principally serves k the 292 residents of Nunn. No information is available on life expectancy, remaining capacity, or the amount of waste received z per day. z a The Columbine Landfill was opened in 1980 as a 160-acre w site . In 1982 , an additional 34-1/2 acres adjoining the q v+ northeast corner of the landfill were added to the site. The facility is located south of Weld County Road 6 and west of Weld y 0 County Road 5 . The Columbine Landfill currently accepts up to 4 , 000 cubic yards of waste a day. The remaining capacity at z this site is estimated at 12 . 5 to 25 million cubic yards. Depending on price competition, operating capacity, and growth r rate, the life of the site was estimated at 12 to 20 years in 1987 . This site serves an estimated 500 ,000 people in the x• 1-1 Denver and Boulder metropolitan areas. The Erie Landfill was opened in 1985 . The site is 80 acres • i„ in size and is located within the Town of Erie; north of Weld County Road 6 and west of Weld County Road 5 . This landfill p currently accepts up to 4 ,500 cubic yards of waste per day. Maximum capacity of the site is estimated at 4 . 6 million cubic ta▪- yards. This site is also a regional landfill used by the residents of Denver and Boulder Metropolitan areas . Because thetll growth rate and operating rate will fluctuate, the actual life d of the landfill was estimated to be between 10 to 15 years in 1987 . O1/40 The Longmont Landfill was opened in 1968 . This site is located on 80 acres , approximately 4 miles east of Longmont; nn, south of Colorado Highway 119 and west of the right-of-way of o Weld County Road 5 . This site receives 1 ,000 cubic yards of waste per day. As of January, 1987, the projected life of this landfill was 12 months. Currently, there are plans to obtain approval to operate a 40 acre landfill site west and adjacent to the existing site . The maximum capacity of this site is estimated at one million cubic yards . This landfill is scheduled to accept between 270 thousand and 300 thousand cubic yards of waste a year. The life expectancy of the site is estimated at 3-1/2 to 4 years . The life expectancy of this landfill could also vary depending on disposal fee competition with other landfills in the southwest part of the County. There are two solid waste transfer stations located in Weld County. The Greeley Recycling Center is located in southeast ORD0147? Page 10 RE: ORDINANCE *147-A Greeley and the Berthoud Transfer Station is located southeast of Berthoud; east of Weld County Road 1 and north of Weld County Road 42 . The function of a solid waste transfer station is to consolidate solid waste collection and to minimize the amount of trucking associated with landfills. a N r BRINE WASTE o r N �1 CO O A large amount of water is extracted during the production of crude oil and natural gas . The water produced from oil and gas wells is frequently brackish or salty and must be processed and disposed of in a satisfactory manner. To prevent environmental pollution, brine water from a single well can be z disposed of in small amounts by reinjecting the water into the z a same formation from which it was drawn or by using an on-site w sealed evaporation pond. However, when brine waste from a c v' number of wells is involved, it must be trucked to a commercial brine water disposal facility. Commercial brine water disposal y 1/4O facilities in the County are operated in accordance with permits issued by the Board of Commissioners. z The same basic concerns associated with the siting of a nco landfill also exists for the siting of a commercial brine water r disposal facility. There are currently three commercial brine water disposal facilities in Weld County. The locations of the brine water disposal facilities and landfills in the County are m • shown on Map #8 on page 81 . i„ t,j O 0 MANURE p Manure from feedlots, dairies , and other concentrated x o animal feeding operations are routinely spread on farmland for yo fertilizer and soil enhancement purposes. According to the Areawide Water Quality Management Plan, the proper incorporation of manure into the soil is not a threat to water quality. 0 0 MUNICIPAL SLUDGES O J The Colorado Department of Health permits digested residual sludges from municipal waste water treatment plants to be spread on farmland in the County in accordance with certain guidelines. The Areawide Water Quality Management Plan indicates that problems from this practice should be minimal if the sites used for disposal are flat, separated from surface water and groundwater, and the sludge is not applied when the ground is frozen. ORDO147A Page 11 RE: ORDINANCE #147—A m to o � SEPTIC TANK PUMPINGS N J io Untreated septic tank pumpings are not allowed to be disposed of on farmland in the County. The Colorado Department m of Health has determined that the practice could affect water o quality and public health. A commercial septage facility is z operated in accordance with permits issued by the Board of zF a County Commissioners . c, C w Qtn ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND NATURAL RESOURCE GOALS o HLo 1 .

This includes such areas as agricultural lands, State wildlife areas , o ,- city parks, and your own backyard. w wo Open space is desirable because it performs many natural functions and satisfies many human needs. Open space is used for the production of crops and raising of livestock. Open k n space is used for outdoor recreational activities and other o leisure time pursuits which promote the health and welfare of z people . Open spaces function as airsheds which reduce the z effects of air pollution. Open spaces function as watersheds and storm drainages collecting water for streams and aquifers c `„ and absorbing water of intense rainfall or snowmelt. Open space also supports wildlife which in turn provides enjoyment for Weld cn o citizens. ° Park facilities and recreational programs in the County are H O1 planned and operated by the State ' s Division of Parks and z co Outdoor Recreation, municipalities, schools, and recreational districts. The County is not involved in land acquisition for open space or parks . Except for minimum subdivision regulation standards , the County does not maintain a parks and recreation needs standard which would require a number of acres of park land based on the County' s total residential population. N Weld County currently contracts with the City of Greeley to 0 manage a 4-FI building, an exhibition building, and other supplemental buildings. These facilities are located within the v City limits of Greeley at Island Grove Park. The County Pi o maintains a park which is located west of the City of Greeley at Z o0 10531 West 10th Street. In addition to these facilities , the County currently owns and operates four separate sand and gravel o pits. These mine sites vary in size from 56. 6 to 105. 7 acres . o The possibility of reclaiming these areas as public parks or recreation sites should be considered once they have been mined. n N Special attention should also be directed toward encouraging O parks , trails , and recreational facilities of varying size and function along rivers, creeks , and streambeds. There has been interest generated in developing a trail system along the Cache La Poudre River between the City of Greeley and Fort Collins. The County should explore the opportunity of helping to plan, develop, and maintain this trail system. The adoption of goals and policies which are acceptable to Weld Citizens and can minimize conflict between areas for open space and urban development is the central theme of the County' s open space goals and policies. The goals and policies found in the Comprehensive Plan as well as the Subdivision Regulations, and Zoning Ordinance combine to create a functional open space plan for unincorporated Weld County. The goals and policies adopted for coordinating with municipal and regional plans , as well as , other unincorporated areas of the County, affect ORD0147A Page 16 RE: ORDINANCE #147-A population distribution and density, transportation systems, utility systems, drainage systems , park and recreation systems, and public facilities and service systems. All of these factors a to have a significant influence upon the way open space develops F-4 and is maintained in the County. o �t For example, the goals and policies of the Urban Growth o Boundary Section of the Comprehensive Plan encourage commercial, industrial, and residential uses to locate in existing municipalities or in Urban Growth Boundary Areas where k A0 municipalities have planned for orderly expansion through yt,> annexation. The I-25 Mixed-Use Development Area and Activities z Centers also help to support open space by identifying an area a hi LT1 in the County, similar to urban growth boundary areas , where tlyw commercial, industrial, and residential uses are encouraged to • u' locate. The establishment of these urban transition areas helps to y k0 promote efficient and cost effective delivery of public facilities and services and to coordinate growth into areas z u' identified as most suitable for urban uses. It also helps to n CO avoid disruption of areas where agriculture is the predominant r• �' land use and happens to provide a significant open space benefit. • ,P As concerns increase for adequate open space and recreation q, - areas because of land-use change and population growth, the w County' s role and responsibility will probably change in a manner similar to neighboring Larimer, Boulder, and Adams 0 Counties. 0 In the interim, Weld citizens are fortunate that the cities w and towns take an active role in meeting the needs common to o residents of both urban and rural areas. They are also to o fortunate in having mountain recreation areas within a short d drive of most of the County' s populated areas. orn OPEN SPACE, PARKS , AND RECREATION GOALS 1 .

One of these changes is a change of our ic"'„ economic base away from agriculture and natural resource extraction toward an economy that is based more on manufacturing and services. The second major change deals with our national change from an economy based on inflation to one based on H deflation. No doubt, inflation will return in the future, but z in the past few years, now, and for a short time in the future n °° deflation was, is , and will be the problem. z r+ a arin SELECTED ECONOMIC INDICATORS • Ln hi Population, employment, unemployment, personal income, and earning by industry can be used to show where our economy has d come from, where it is , and where it could be headed. +r Eo COUNTY RESIDENTIAL POPULATION � o 1960 1970 1980 1987 o 72 ,344 89 ,797 123 ,438 141 ,985 o• -J SOURCES : 1 .

ORD0147A Page 20 RE: ORDINANCE #147-A Industry earnings and expected earnings help determine the amount of money that businesses will invest in new buildings, machines, and inventories; such investment is a source of income in the period it is made and allows economic growth to occur. Because investment in real capital allows the productivity of workers to increase, investment also can make incremental costs of production fall, and income of workers rise . Industry earnings can, at any point in time, be used to show the relative w importance of industries to the economy.

Favorable exchange rates and farm policies of the r national government could moderate the decline in the importance of agriculture as a source of spending. n � Colorado' s retail sales from the end of the third quarter O-2 of 1985 through the end of the third quarter of 1986 , decreased a 4 . 2 percent. Every county in the State except Kiowa County also o had a decrease in retail sales. The decrease for Weld County was 9 . 1 percent. Contract construction (-50. 5%) and mining (-43 . 4%) had the two largest decreases . The reduction in the retail sales of mining will have a negative impact on the Weld County Government' s revenue, but with a lag in time of two years. Even though mining did not employ very many people, less than 1 , 000 , the income and sales generated both have had a large impact on the health of the County' s economy. Production and employment in the County are determined by the amount of spending (consumption, investment, government spending and net imports) within the County. Out of every one dollar of production and income created in the County, 60 cents ORD0147A Page 21 RE: ORDINANCE #147-A will be spent within the County and 40 cents goes out of the economy. The internal spending of this 60 cents creates more production and income for the County. If the leak of income hi to being spent out of the County is reduced, there would be additional income and production created within the County. o r w0 1/4Oo ECONOMIC GROWTH m Economic growth can be a result of changes in the demand or ' o supply side of the market. When the supply side is the source z of growth, it is because of an increase in the quantity or z quality of the inventory of local resources (natural resources , labor, real capital, and entrepreneurs) . Part of the real • ln capital would be the infrastructure within the County. The longer the time period being considered, the greater theCI) o relative importance of the supply side factors . y LO When the economy grows, the growth can be a result of the H 1-4 expansion of export industries (export sector) or the business z and industries that serve the local economy (local sector) . The n co tl growth of the export sector causes an inflow of income into the area. This additional income will provide the basis for an expansion of the local sector and total employment in the • a County. It is estimated that for every 1. additional person that is employed in the export sector total employment in the County • N can rise by 3 .5 . This employment multiplier can be strengthened n when workers are more highly paid and the export businesses have more links with local suppliers. The multiplier also becomes larger when the area begins to produce goods formerly imported. o The ability to generate new activity in the export sector o may be more important than the future demand for its current o export products , if the County economy is going to maintain its e growth. n If employment is first created in the local sector, growth will be short-circuited. The income is spent and respent with a o percent of it always leaking out of the local spending stream to O -3 buy imports . This creates additional income and employment for some other place. Employment and changes in employment can be used for a proxy for the value of economic activity and changes in the value of economic activity. Since the beginning of the 1980 ' s, there has been an ongoing change in the structure of the Weld County economy. Capital intensive businesses have become more important and land and labor intensive businesses have become less important. Most increases in manufacturing have been from medium sized businesses , since the rise in importance of manufacturing and the increased reliance on real capital within the area. One of the advantages of the increase in medium sized manufacturing ORD0147A Page 22 RE: ORDINANCE #147-A businesses is the flexibility and diversification that is provided. In 1986 , 1900 new jobs were created, most of which were in export industries; at the same time 210 jobs were lost. " r � o � ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WELD COUNTY FACES o 0 One of the problems that the County faces now and will face • n in the future is the problem of unemployment. Unemployment co wears many different disguises here and in our national economy too. z Currently the increase in the population is greater than a 1-11 Ul the increases in job opportunities; the surplus of people become unemployed for varying amounts of time. Underemployment results • c' whenever people who are working, because of the job they have, cannot work up to their capacity which is determined by their y c) education, training, and experience. These people do not show up in the government' s unemployment statistics , but none the z u less reduce the amount of production that the area has the n m potential to produce. Structural unemployment will be an r -4 increasing problem for the County, as it is for the national zy economy. This type of unemployment results from a mismatch N between the skills that the unemployed people are able to m N supply, and the skills that are being demanded by the area u, businesses . These people will become more prevalent as the structure of our economic base continues to change. Discouraged O workers are unemployed people who have given up trying to find a job, because they have not been able to find one. Again, these z o people escape from the government' s unemployment statistics . £ o When our economy starts to grow or grow more, there will be a o lag between when the growth occurs and the employment rate falls. During the early period of growth, these "discouraged workers" enter the market and search for a job; until they find O I a job, the unemployment rate will rise. Regardless of the type of unemployment and whether or not 0• to it is measured by statistics, it costs us. These costs range from lost production, income , and tax revenue to higher costs for social programs. The Weld County Government faces a fiscal mismatch in the future , given the tax structure that it has with the 5 percent limitation in raising property tax revenues above the preceding year' s property tax revenue . Economic growth creates two things; the first is an increase in tax revenue because of an increase in production and income. The second is an increase in the demand for public and merit goods that are needed or wanted because of the increase in production and income. With all local governments the increase in revenue generated is less than the increase in revenue needed to finance the additional public and merit goods. The end result is a fiscal mismatch because ORD0147A Page 23 RE: ORDINANCE #].47-A there is not enough revenue to finance the costs of producing the public goods. Most local governments could, given approval, increase taxes to pay for these additional goods. In Weld County the reverse is true . The growth which generates td additional revenue would necessitate a reduction in taxes . The consequence of this reduction, mandated by law, is the inability to pay for the needed goods or services; public infrastructure ? Jo would be an example. A third possible problem that the County might face is the ray x to immobility of resources. Resources, real and financial, might n be reluctant to go where the growth is most likely going to 0 occur. Whenever resource immobility occurs , it increases the z costs and reduces the benefits of economic growth. If this z immobility is a result of exogenous factors , then the local h] ln governments ' problem solving ability is reduced. tal �L''„ Although the County economy is starting to diversify, the diversification is too little to protect the area from swings in viS 1/4O the demand for certain types of commodities . The more economic diversification and the more balanced the economic growth is, H r the less subject the economy is to swings in production caused z by the change in aggregate demand for a given commodity or group n., -4 t of commodities .

Every county in the State except Kiowa County also had a decrease in retail sales. The decrease for Weld County was 9.1 percent Contract construction (-50.5%) and mining (-43.4%) had the two largest decreases. The reduction in the retail sales of mining will have a negative impact on the Weld County Government's revenue,but with a lag in time of two years.Even though mining did not employ very many people, less than 1,000, the income and sales generated both have had a large Impact on the health of the County's economy. Production•and employment in the County are determined by the amount of spending (consumption, investment, government spending and net Imports) within the County. Out of every one dollar of production and Income created in the County,60 cents will be spent within the County and 40 cents goes out of the economy.The internal spending of this 60 cents creates more production and income for the County.If the leak of Income being spent out of the County Is reduced, there would be additional income and production created within the County. ECONOMIC GROWTH Economic growth can be a result of changes in the demand or supply side of the market. When the supply side Is the source of growth It is because of an increase in the quantity or quality of the inventory of local resources(natural resources,labor, real capital,and entrepreneurs). Part of the real capital would be the infrastructure within the County. The longer the time period being considered,the greater the relative importance of the supply side factors. When the economy grows, the growth can be a result of the expansion of export industries (export sector) or the business and industries that serve the local`economy(local sector). The growth of the export sector causes an inflow of income Into the area This additional income will provide the basis for an expansion of the local sector and total employment in the County. It is estimated that for every 1 additional person that is employed in the export sector total 20 Breeze, Sept. 17, 1987 employment In the Countyrcan rise by 3.5.This employment multiplier can be strengthened when workers are more highly paw and the export businesses have more links with local suppliers.The multiplier also becomes larger when the area begins to produce goods formerly imported. The ability to generate new activity in the export sector may be more important than the future demand for Its current export products,if the County economy is going to maintain its growth. If employment is first created in the local sector, growth will be short-circuited. The income is spent and respent with a percent of it always leaking out of the local spending stream to buy imports. This creates additional income and employment for some other place. Employment and changes in employment can be used for a proxy for the value of economic activity and changes in the value of economic activity. Since the beginning of the 1980's, there has been an ongoing change in the structure of the Weld County economy.Capital intensive businesses have become more important and land and labor intensive businesses have become less important. Most increases in manufacturing have been from medium sized businesses, since the rise in importance of manufacturing and the increased reliance on real capital within the area. One of the advantages of the increase in medium sized manufacturing businesses is the flexibility and diversification that is provided. In 1986, 1900 new lobs were created,most of which were in export industries; at the same time 210 jobs were lost. ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WELD COUNTY FACES One of the problems that the County faces now and will face in the future is the problem of unemployment. Unemployment wears many different disguises here and in our national economy too. Currently the Increase in the population is greater than the increases in job opportunities; the surplus of people become unemployed for varying amounts of time. Underemployment results whenever people who are working, because of the job they have, cannot work up to their capacity which is determined by their education, training,and experience. These people do not show up in the government's unemployment statistics, but none the less reduce the amount of production that the area has the potential to produce. Structural unemployment will be an Increasing problem for the County, as it is.for the national economy. This type of unemployment results from a mismatch between the skills that the unemployed people are able to supply, and the skills that are being demanded by the area businesses.These people will become more prevalent as the structure of our economic base continues to change. Discouraged workers are unemployed people who have given up trying to find a job, because they have not been able to find one.Again,these people escape from the government's unemployment statistics. When our economy starts to grow or grow more, there will be a lag between when the rowth occurs and the employment rate falls. During the early period of growth,these"discouraged workers" enter the market and search for a job; until they find a job, the unemployment rate will rise. 'Regardless of the type of unemployment and whether or not it is measured by statistics, it costs us. These costs range from lost production, income, and tax revenue to higher costs for social programs. The Weld County Government faces a fiscal mismatch in the future, given the tax structure that it has with the 5 percent limitation in raising property tax revenues above the preceding year's property tax revenue. Economic growth creates two things; the first is an Increase in tax revenue because of an increase in production and Income.The second is an Increase in the demand for public and merit goods that are needed or wanted because of the increase in production and income.With all local governments the increase in revenue generated is less than the increase in revenue needed to finance the additional public and merit goods. The end result is a fiscal mismatch because there is not enough revenue to finance the costs of producing the public goods. Most local governments'could, given approval, increase taxes to pay for these additional goods.In Weld County the reverse is true. The growth which - generates additional revenue would necessitate a reduction in taxes. The consequence of this reduction, -mandated by law, is the inability to pay for the needed goods or services; public Infrastructure would be an example. A third possible problem that the County might face is the immobility of resources. Resources, real and financial, might be reluctant to go where the growth is most likely going to occur. Whenever resource Immobility occurs, it increases the costs and reduces the benefits of economic growth. If this immobility is a result of exogenous factors, then the local governments' problem solving ability is reduced. Although the County economy is starting to diversify, the diversification is too little to protect the area from swings in the demand for certain types of commodities. The more economic diversification and the more balanced the economic growth is.the less subject the economy is to swings in production caused by the change in aggregate demand for a given commodity or group of commodities.

The growth of the export sector causes an inflow of Income Into the area. This additional Income will provide the basis for an expansion of the local sector and total employment in the County. It is estimated that for every 1 additional person that is employed in the export sector total 12 — Breeze, Sept. 3, 1981 employment In the County can rise by 3.5.This employment multiplier can be strengthened when workers are more highly ers.paw and m e lier alsoort beomessses larger whenthere links area beginlocal to produce goods formerlyhe Imported.

If employment is first created in the local sector, growth will be short-circuited.The income is spent and respent with a percent of It always leaking out of the local spending stream to buy imports. This creates additional income and employment for some other place. Employment and changes in employment can be used for a proxy for the value of economic activity and changes in the value of economic activity. Since the beginning of the 1980's, there has been an ongoing change in the structure of the Weld County economy.Capital intensive businesses have become more important and land and labor intensive businesses have become less important. Most Increases in manufacturing have been from medium sized businesses, since the rise in Importance of manufacturing and the increased reliance on real capital within the area One of the advantages of the increase in medium sized manufacturing businesses is the flexibility and diversification that is provided. In 1986,; 0 new same ba were created, losl most which were In export Industries att the time 210 jobs were ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WELD COUNTY FACES One of theproblems that the County faces now and will face in the future la the problem of unemployment. Unemployment wears many different disguises here and in our national economy too. Currently the increase in the population is greater than the Increases in job opportunities; the surplus of people become unemployed for varying amounts of time. Underemployment results whenever people who are working, because of the lob they have, cannot work up to their capacity which is determined by their education, training, and experience.These people do not show up In the government's unemployment statistics, but node the less reduce the amount of production that the area has the potential to produce. Structural unemployment will be an increasing problem for the County, as it is for the national economy. This type of unemployment results from a mismatch between the skills that the unemployed people are able to supply, and the skills that are being demanded by the area- businesses.These people will become more prevalent as the structure of our economic base continues to change. Discouraged workers are unemployed people who have given up trying to find a job, because they have not been able to find one.Again,these people escape from the government's unemployment statistics. When our economy starts to grow or grow more, there wit be a lag between when the growth occurs and the employment rate fats. During the early period of growth,these"discouraged workers" enter the market and search for a job; until they find a lob, the unemployment rate will rise. Regardless of the type of unemployment and whether or not it is measured by statistics, it costs us. These costs range from lost production, income, and tax revenue to higher costs for social programs. The Weld County Government faces a fiscal mismatch in the future,• given the tax r structure percent limitation tax revenues above the preceding property property tax revenue. Economic growth creates two things;the first is an increase in tax revenue because of an Increase in production and income.The second is an increase in the demand for public and merit goods that are needed ction and income.With all local governments the r wanted use of h ncreasee sin revenuee In ugenerated• 3 is less than the Increase in revenue needed to finance the additional public and merit goods. The end result is a fiscal mismatch because there is not enough revenue to finance the costs of producing the public goods Most local governments could, given approval, increase taxes to pay for these additional goods.In Weld County the reverse Is true. The growth which generates additional revenue would necessitate a reduction in taxes. The consequence of this reduction, mandated by law, is the Inability to pay for the needed goods or' services; public infrastructure would be an example.

Although the County economy is starting to diversify, the diversification is too little to protect the area from swings in the demand for certain types of commodities.
