PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Councilman Orr mentioned a constituent contacted him about the ballot question regarding the
retaining of$750,000.00 from the oil companies and proposed 5% mill levy tax relating to this. He
was concerned that the majority of Weld County voters are not aware that if the proposed mill levy
tax passed, the 5% increase would change the tax base permanently given the $750,000.00.
Councilman Orr would like to see the Council clarify all ramifications of the proposed mill levy tax.
The Council will request the Commissioners formulate a written statement to the voters for
distribution in medias throughout Weld County to help clarify any confusion.
