BUSINESS:
OLD: CONSIDER TAX ABATEMENT PETITION FROM TEXAS-OHIO POWER, INC. , AND
AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN (CONT. FROM 09/07/94) : Warren
Lasell, Assessor, reminded the Board that this matter had been
continued from September 7, 1994. (Changed to Tape lt94-38. ) He
stated an additional abatement had been recommended, which
required review and discussion; however, an agreement has now
been reached between the petitioner and the Division of Property
Taxation. Richard Timberlake, Colorado Division of Property
Taxation, and Stephanie Tutthill, Attorney representing the
petitioner, were present. Ms. Tutthill explained the petition
concerns a co-generation facility near Johnstown and is actually
for the tax year of 1993; however, the abatement would fix the
valuation for 1992 and 1993. She noted the property was
undervalued in 1992 and overvalued in 1993, for a combined
valuation of $1, 793, 000.00. The actual combined value for 1992
and 1993 should have been $1, 184,000.00, resulting in a
$609, 000.00 abatement. Ms. Tutthill explained the petitioner
explored an additional reduction; however, the State was not
persuaded. Therefore, all parties reached an agreement to
request the petition, as originally filed, be granted. Mr.
Lasell stated his original recommendation was for approval of
the abatement as petitioned and he stands with that
recommendation. Commissioner Hall moved to approve said
petition and authorize the Chairman to sign. The motion,
seconded by Commissioner Harbert, carried unanimously.
NEW: CONSIDER CONTRACT FOR HANDICAPPED CHILDREN'S PROGRAM BETWEEN
HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND
ENVIRONMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN: Judy Nero, Health
Department representative, stated funding for this program has
been increased by $13,699.00 over last year's contract for a
total amount of $97, 655.00. She explained the increase is for
computer equipment, which will connect nursing services with the
State for data collection, and for . 16 FTE nurse time, which
will allow the computer system to be coordinated with the case
management system. Commissioner Harbert moved to approve said
contract and authorize the Chairman to sign. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Baxter, and it carried unanimously.

CONSIDER AGREEMENT FOR SALE AND PURCHASE OF VACANT LAND FOR
RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND/OR EASEMENTS WITH FERME FARMS AND AUTHORIZE
CHAIRMAN TO SIGN - BRIDGE NO. 32.5/21B: Mr. Graham stated a
small piece of land must be purchased to complete the bridge
north of Platteville which crosses the Platte River. He
explained Mr. Boedeker, partner of Ferme Farms, had concerns
about locating the water line in a more northerly direction
which crossed a sewer line, and he was fearful the water company
may hold him liable, if there were damages, for selling the
easement. Mr. Graham explained the County could not agree to
indemnify Ferme Farms; however, it would make its best effort to
keep them harmless. He stated there is a possibility for
damage, but the County constructs with its best efforts. Mr.
Graham confirmed for Commissioner Baxter that the County
Attorney was involved with the agreement. Lee Morrison,
Assistant County Attorney, explained Mr. Graham had several
conversations with Ferme Farms because they wanted the County to
indemnify them; however, the County was not willing to do so.
He referred to Paragraph 2 on Page 2 of the second agreement
which states the County will use its best efforts to do the work
without specifically indemnifying Ferme. Commissioner Harbert
moved to approve said agreement and authorize the Chairman to
sign. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, and it
carried unanimously.

PROPERTY AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN TITLES: Mr. Warden

and Commissioner Baxter seconded the motion which carried
unanimously.
