Box 181000 Denver, Colorado 80218-0899 Dear Mr. Valdez, This is to advise you that the Weld County Board of Commissioners has reviewed the criteria for Planning and Service Area designation for the operation of the Older American's Act Programs. We support the continued designation of Weld County as a Planning and Service Area in this regard. The geographic area to be served will continue to be Weld County, Colorado whose 1986 projected population is 140,280 individuals. The Board assures that it is able to meet the financial matching responsibilities of a 25% cash match for administrative funds and a 10% in-kind match on service funds. The Board also assures that it has the administrative capability to carry out the responsibilities of an Area Agency on Aging as de- fined in the Older Americans Act and the Volume 10 State Manual . The Board has assigned administrative responsibilities for the Area Agency on Aging to the Division of Human Resources which, as an um- brella agency, has centralized administrative functions that are in- tegrated with the county's Fiscal , Personnel , Purchasing, and Contracts policies and procedures. The Division of Human Resources has over ten years of exemplary experience managing a variety of human service programs and is without audit exceptions. The Weld Area Agency on Aging has made significant progress in the past five years to develop a highly visible and well coordinated system of services for Weld County' s elderly. Our experience as a Planning and Service Area for aging services has been positive and the Board is looking forward to continued close involvement with the Older Americans Act Programs.
