Dear Ms. Feuerstein:
The undersigned represents a group of citizens who wish to
initiate an amendment to the Weld County Home Rule Charter.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 17-1 of the County's Home
Rule Charter, and pursuant to the provisions of 1-4O-1O1, C.R.S. ,
we are submitting the proposed petition forms to your office for
approval.
By separate copy of this letter, I am also forwarding copies
of these documents to the County Attorney so that he may review the
same in consultation with you.
After considerable research, we are unable to locate in
Colorado Revised Statutes any specific form of petition which is
required as relates solely to amendments of county home rule
charters. While specific provisions exist at C.R.S. 31-2-22O
relating to the amendment of a municipal home rule charter, the
only provisions we find to be applicable relating to county home
rule charter amendments are those found at C.R.S. 1-40-101, et
seq. , specifically those provisions at 1-4O-1O2 (6) , 1-4O-1O6(2) and
1-4O-1O6 (3) (b) , 1-4O-11O, 1-4O-111 and 1-4O-113. It is upon those
provisions which we have relied in preparing these forms.
It is, of course, well-established Colorado law that the
substance of the provision to be voted upon is not within the
proper realm of review prior to the time the same is enacted.
Therefore, we submit respectfully to you that the only matters upon
which you may lawfully comment are those having to do with the form
of the proposed petitions.

WHICH SECTION 15. 5 PROVIDES THAT, FROM AND AFTER THE DATE OF
