MINUTES, WELD COUNTY COUNCIL PAGE TWO FEBRUARY 5, 1986
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
The Council is continuing its search for a performance auditor of the
Sheriff's Department. Both Bill Rupp and Sid Morehouse have been in contact
with the International Association of Chiefs of Police and will continue
discussions with its representatives.
At Council 's request, County Attorney Tom David, rendered his opinion as
to the meaning of Charter Section 13-3. The charter states the following:
"No person shall serve more than two (2) consecutive terms as a Councilman. "
Mr. David stated that in his opinion the Charter limits service to no more
than two terms as a Councilman regardless of whether one of the terms is a
full term or a partial term. The Council felt that Mr. David's explanation
was adequate.
The Council continued discussion of salary setting for elected officials.
It was agreed that no decision would be made in this meeting, in order to allow
as much time as possible for public input. The Council urged citizens of Weld
County to contact a Councilman and express their feelings. Salaries will be
set in the March meeting.

opinion on salary setting. He stated that even though elected officials may
be doing a great job, costs must be cut somewhere. In view of the economy of
Weld County, he is not in favor of increasing their salaries.
