CONSIDER MHZP #90 - BEMENT: Ms. Swanson read the concerns of the Department of Planning Services staff into the record. Kristie Bement explained that when the property was purchased they did know there was a problem with the water; however, since all the neighbors had cisterns they did not realize it would be a problem to get one also. She said the previous owner did try to drill for a well, to 1,000' , and only got a trickle of water with mud. He then moved 500' and tried another well and hit only air. Ms. Bement said it would cost $1, 600 to drill, then $4,000 to put a pump on if the well was successful. Commissioner Kirby asked which water supply was considered when the recorded exemption was approved. Ms. Swanson said a cistern was approved for the recorded exemption. Commissioner Kirby stated the information concerning the well problems is correct and, since the applicant has the signatures of 83Z of the surrounding property owners, moved to approve the manufactured home permit. Commissioner Webster seconded the motion. Ms. Swanson read four proposed conditions of approval, which Commissioners Kirby and Webster agreed to include in the motion. Ms. Bement said she agreed with the conditions. The motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The Resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda.

We have sentinel chicken flocks placed throughout the front range on which we draw periodic blood samples. In the two draws thus far, none of the chickens have shown any signs of being exposed to the virus that causes western equine encephalitis. Our mosquito trapping, however, does show an increase in the culex tarsalis mosquito which is the type of mosquito that potentially carries the western equine encephalitis virus. We continue to monitor the chickens, mosquitoes, and horse population for any signs of this viral illness. We have not had any potential leads for our nurse practitioner position. Because of this and also because we are still in the process of training our new nursing graduates, we have not been able to offer clinic hours at previous levels. We are prioritizing immunizations and prenatal care services. We are also seeing a greatly increased demand for all of our services. The Emergency Medical Services Task Force sent out contracts to all the fire districts for participation in the physician advisor plan for the County. We expect to hear from the fire districts by the end of August and will implement the overall plan in October. We remain hopeful that the majority of fire districts will participate in the program. One of the governmental roles for public health is needs assessment. We have worked with various communities throughout Weld County to assess their community health needs at their request. One of those communities is the Johnstown/Milliken area. I have asked Lesli Bangert to briefly inform you of what we are doing in this area as an example of how we work with communities in trying to assess their community health needs.
