COMMISSIONER
COORDINATOR
REPORTS: Commissioner Kennedy reported that the E-911 Authority Board has
filed a complaint with the PUC against U.S. West in regards to
excessive charges for the E-911 service. We have received a
billing from an independent telephone company for eight times as
much as can be collected for the services. U.S. West sold the
E-911 service to Weld County, and there is no contract with the
independent companies.
Commissioner Harbert reported the Road and Bridge Department
will begin paving Weld County Road 39 next week, after finishing
the projects around Greeley.
Chairman Lacy reported that all five Commissioners attended the
CCI Summer Conference last week, which he felt was a good
conference. He especially felt the meeting with the Legislators
and insurance pool reports were good. He also commended Don
Warden for the numerous compliments received from various County
officials for his work, with both the insurance pools and the
County Administrator's Association.
Commissioner Harbert also reported on the Social Services
meeting at CCI, in which the family coalition project was
discussed. This is very similar to the program Weld County has
been trying to get going for ten years; now, under a different
name, the State is advising counties to study the program.

WARRANTS: Don Warden presented the following warrants for approval by the
Board:
General fund $559, 441.66
Handwritten warrants:
Payroll $ 605.00
Commissioner Kennedy moved to approve the warrants as presented
by Mr. Warden. Commissioner Kirby seconded the motion which
carried unanimously.
Let the record reflect that a recess was taken at this time to
allow the Board to convene as the Board of Social Services.
BUSINESS:
NEW: CONSIDER TAX ABATEMENT PETITION FROM GOLDEN WEST HOLDING
CORPORATION: Warren Lasell, Assessor, explained that the
request is for a duplex in West Greeley which was completed
early in 1990. In August of 1990, half the property was sold to
Carroll Miller, dba Golden West Holding Corporation. The Notice
of Valuation was mailed in May. Mr. Lasell stated there is no
disagreement as to the value of the property; the petition to
abate taxes is based solely on the contention that Mr. Miller
did not receive the Notice of Valuation. Mr. Miller was present
and explained the history of four different assessments which
occurred in 1990, and his reasons for feeling the Assessor's
Office should have notified him of the proper assessment. Mr.
Lasell stated that the number of assessments is irrelevant. Jan
Allison, Assistant County Attorney, stated that there is ample
case law in effect to uphold the Statutes as they apply in this
case. The Assessor's records clearly indicate the Notice of
Valuation was mailed in a timely and appropriate manner. The
property owner agrees to the value of the property, but is
asking for the taxes to be reduced to zero simply because of
misinformation. Ms. Allison recommended denial of the petition.
Commissioner Kennedy moved to deny said Petition for Tax
Abatement. Commissioner Kirby seconded the motion, which
carried unanimously.
CONSIDER REQUESTS FROM PEST INSPECTOR TO ENTER UPON CERTAIN
LANDS: Commissioner Kennedy moved to approve staff
recommendation. Seconded by Commissioner Harbert, the motion
carried unanimously.
CONSIDER PURCHASE OF SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CHILDREN'S WORLD
LEARNING CENTER AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN: Jeannie Tacker,
Weld County Health Department, explained this Agreement is for
the services of a Registered Nurse at Children's World Learning
Center, for which Weld County will be reimbursed at the rate of
$25.00 per hour. The term of the Agreement is May 1, 1991
through December 31, 1991. Commissioner Kennedy moved to
approve said Agreement and authorize the Chairman to sign.
Commissioner Harbert seconded the motion, which carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER CLINICAL AFFILIATION AGREEMENT WITH UNIVERSITY OF
PHOENIX AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN: Ms. Tacker explained
that this is a non-financial affiliation agreement similar to
the one with UNC for the procurement of interns. The intent of
the University of Phoenix and the Health Department is to
affiliate for the provision of clinical nursing experiences for
RN nursing students. The term of the Agreement is May 29, 1991
through May 29, 1994. Commissioner Harbert moved to approve
said Agreement and authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded by
Commissioner Kennedy, the motion carried unanimously.
Minutes - June 17, 1991

CONSIDER AGREEMENT FOR BIO-MEDICAL SERVICES WITH NORTH COLORADO
MEDICAL CENTER, INC. , AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN: Ms.
Tacker explained this is the preventive maintenance agreement
for Bio-Medical laboratory equipment, to be reimbursed at the
rate of $29.75 per hour for normal work hours. The term is June
16, 1991 through June 15, 1992. Commissioner Kennedy moved to
approve said Agreement and authorize the Chairman to sign.
Seconded by Commissioner Harbert, the motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER LEASE WITH GEORGE MADDOX AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN
- GOWANDA GRADER STATION: Mr. Barker explained that this item
is identical to the next item and they can be considered
together. The two leases are for old structures at the Gowanda
and Kiowa Grader Stations, in which the operators, George Maddox
and Charles Kipp, store their personal property. Approval of
said leases would allow them to continue this practice. The
lease requires each operator to obtain liability insurance in
the amount of $150,000 per person and $400, 000 per incident and
would be in effect only as long as they are employed with Weld
County. Commissioner Harbert moved to approve both leases and
authorize the Chairman to sign. Commissioner Webster seconded
the motion, which carried unanimously.
CONSIDER LEASE WITH CHARLES E. KIPP AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO
SIGN - KIOWA GRADER STATION: This was approved with the
preceding item.
CONSIDER REQUEST FOR RENEWAL OF 3.22 BEER LICENSE FROM C. RAY
AND ROBERTA HINDERLITER, DBA I-76 MOTEL AND CAFE: Chairman Lacy
read the report from the Sheriff's Office, which indicates no
violations being on record for this establishment. Commissioner
Kennedy moved to approve said renewal. Seconded by Commissioner
Webster, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER EMERGENCY CLOSURE OF WELD COUNTY ROAD 7 BETWEEN HIGHWAY
56 AND WELD COUNTY ROAD 42: Commissioner Harbert moved to
approve said closure. Commissioner Kennedy seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.
CONSIDER TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF WELD COUNTY ROAD 28 AT WELD COUNTY
ROAD 19; WELD COUNTY ROAD 17 AT HIGHWAY 66; AND WELD COUNTY ROAD
17 AT WELD COUNTY ROAD 26.75: Commissioner Kirby moved to
approve said closure. Commissioner Webster seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.
CONSIDER TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF WELD COUNTY ROAD 390 BETWEEN WELD
COUNTY ROAD 122 AND 136: Commissioner Harbert moved to approve
said closure. Commissioner Kirby seconded the motion, which
carried unanimously.
CONSIDER EMERGENCY CLOSURE OF WELD COUNTY ROAD 67 BETWEEN WELD
COUNTY ROAD 68 AND HIGHWAY 392: Commissioner Webster moved to
approve said closure. Commissioner Kirby seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.
CONSIDER DIVISION ORDER WITH TOTAL PETROLEUM, INC. , AND
AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN - NW,' Slit 533, T5N, R66W: Mr. Barker
stated staff has reviewed said Division Order and found the
royalty interest to be correct. Commissioner Kennedy moved to
approve said Division Order and authorize the Chairman to sign.
Commissioner Kirby seconded the motion, which carried
unanimously.

CONSIDER BUILDING LOCATION FOR FUTURE OFFICES: Mr. Warden
reviewed the steps that have been followed by staff as to the
various options available for Weld County and the staff
evaluation and report given to the Board on May 29, 1991
regarding each of those options. He explained that the City of
Greeley is now proposing to purchase the United Plaza Building
and lease back to Weld County for use over the next ten years.
He explained that the lease is not economically solid due to the
construction cost increasing from $1.8 million to $2,664,000 in
the ten-year period, as well as the fact that Weld County would
have no equity after the ten-year lease. In response to
Commissioner Harbert's question, Mr. Warden stated the building
would only be adequate for five years, and that is after being
remodelled to suit our needs. Commissioner Webster questioned
the cost of the remodelling which will be necessary. Mr. Warden
stated the stairwells would have to be reworked, one elevator
would have to be added, and the first floor would have to be
remodelled to allow for an acoustical board room, as well as
administrative type offices. The cost would be $100,000 -
$150,000 approximately. Commissioner Kirby stated the issue is
how efficiently the building can be run, and to plan both short
and long term to reduce the costs of operating County buildings.
Commissioner Harbert stated the County needs a plan for the next
ten to 15 years, not five years. She also stated no one has
addressed the parking problems which have been a major concern
since the County has been located downtown. Commissioner
Kennedy moved to reject the City proposal and proceed with the
move of County facilities to "0" Street and 11th Avenue in the
Weld County Industrial Park. Commissioner Kirby seconded the
motion. Commissioner Webster moved to amend the motion, as a
matter of protocol, to allow two weeks to answer the City before
the proposal is denied, but there was no second to his motion.
Chairman Lacy stated the County was not notified of the offer
from the City, except by a phone call from the Tribune, and that
no matter what the offer is, the United Plaza Building is still
a five-year plan. Commissioner Harbert stated we have to look
not only at buildings, but efficiency, and there is no place
downtown for the location of a complex of all County offices.
Commissioner Kirby commented on the amount of staff time that
has already been spent on this issue and called for the
question. On roll call vote, the motion carried four to one,
with Commissioner Webster voting against the motion.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: DECLARE BULLETIN BOARD AS OFFICIAL
POSTING PLACE: Mr. Warden explained that declaring an official
posting place is necessary due to a change in the "Open Meetings
Law", and that agendas of all meetings must be posted 24 hours
prior to each meeting. Commissioner Kennedy moved to approve
said Resolution. Commissioner Kirby seconded the motion, which
carried unanimously.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: WELD COUNTY JAIL TASK FORCE
RECOMMENDATION: Mr. Warden explained that the Jail Task Force
Committee, appointed on February 7, 1991, has completed their
study and he reviewed their recommendation, as stated in a memo
from Sheriff Ed Jordan. The major points of their
recommendation is to house juveniles in a separate facility at
the Weld County Industrial Park, and to have Peter Boer,
architect, review the options to remodel the west end of the
third floor of the Centennial Center to house the minimum
security inmates. The present juvenile facilities would be
transformed to house females, and changes would be made to A, B,
C, and D pods, as well as the administrative and kitchen areas.
Commissioner Webster moved to accept the recommendation of the
Weld County Jail Task Force. Seconded by Commissioner Harbert,
the motion carried unanimously.
Minutes - June 17, 1991

CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: VACATE PLATTED ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY AND
ACCEPT DEEDS FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR WELD COUNTY ROAD 90: Mr.
Barker explained that the road is not physically located in the
correct place. It is north of where it is supposed to be. The
property owners have provided two deeds on the north side and
would like the County to vacate the roadways platted on Recorded
Exemption 111294. The south location is on the section line, but
the north location is where the road was originally established.
Mr. Barker has reviewed this with Chuck Cunliffe, Director of
Planning Services, who sees no problems with the procedure and
has no objections. Commissioner Harbert moved to approve said
Resolution. Commissioner Kirby seconded the motion, which
carried unanimously.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: VACATE PORTIONS OF ABANDONED RAILROAD
RIGHT-OF-WAY ALONG NORTH SIDE OF STATE HIGHWAY 392: Mr. Barker
explained this is the right-of-way on the north side of State
Highway 392 between Cornish and Briggsdale. There is no longer
a need for the additional right-of-way, and Chuck Jones, County
Surveyor, has surveyed this right-of-way. His legal description
is attached to the Resolution. Commissioner Webster moved to
approve said Resolution. Commissioner Kennedy seconded the
motion, which carried unanimously.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: DIRECT CLERK TO THE BOARD TO HAVE
PUBLISHED EMERGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 161-A, SUPPLEMENTAL
APPROPRIATION FOR 1991: Mr. Warden explained that, per Section
29-1-111, Ordinance No. 161-A needs to be published prior to
reading. Therefore, he is asking for permission to publish said
Emergency Ordinance, which will be read June 24, 1991.
Commissioner Kirby moved to approve said Resolution. Seconded
by Commissioner Harbert, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: DESIGNATE CERTAIN VOLUNTEERS OF
SHERIFF'S OFFICE AS "EMPLOYEES" FOR WORKER'S COMPENSATION
PURPOSES: Mr. Barker explained that, per Section 8-42-202,
reserves, deputies, volunteers, etc. can now be included under
the County's Workers Compensation Insurance. Mr. Warden
explained that an option to this is to have the boy scouts
handled like the Useful Public Service clients, where a separate
policy is purchased for that particular function; but the posse
and reserves, which the County relies on, be included. These
individuals used to be covered by default, but Workers
Compensation excluded them three or four years ago. Mr. Warden
feels there is not much risk of injury and the use of these
individuals is only at the direction of the Sheriff. Therefore,
he recommends approval. Commissioner Kirby moved to approve
said Resolution. Commissioner Harbert seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.
PLANNING: CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: VIOLATIONS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE -
SEGURA, LOFQUIST, and BUCHHOLZ: Commissioner Kennedy moved to
approve this Resolution authorizing the County Attorney to
proceed with legal action against Joyce Segura, Randall S. and
Alicia Lofquist, and Peter J. and Myrtle Buchholz for violations
of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. Commissioner Harbert
seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDINANCES: The Resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
consent agenda. There were no Ordinances.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions
were attested to and respectfully submitted by the Acting Clerk
to the Board.
