The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated May 13, 1992, and duly
published June 11, 1992, in the Windsor Beacon, a public hearing was
conducted to consider the creation of Weld County Road 8 Local Improvement
District #1992-3. Chairman Kennedy stated that since he has a financial
interest in this matter, he will abstain from the hearing, and Chairman
Pro-Tem Harbert will chair this hearing. Mr. Kennedy then left the
podium. Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of
record. Let the record reflect that Commissioner Webster is now present.
At the request of Chairman Pro-tem Harbert, Mr. Morrison advised the Board
of the procedure to be taken at today's hearing. He explained that bids
would be let and after the work was completed, an assessment hearing would
be scheduled at which time individual protests may be heard. Mr. Morrison
said the Board should consider accepting the draft resolution to create
said local improvement district and hear any protests today. Drew
Scheltinga, Director of Engineering Department, explained the area to be
paved consists of 8.5 miles. The district consists of 229 total parcels,
with properties adjacent to said road and the five subdivisions accessing
said road to be assessed. The assessment will be $500 per parcel, which
may be paid in one lump sum or over a ten-year period at 8% simple
interest. There were 127, or 55%, of the property owners that signed the
petition. Mr. Scheltinga said three parcels adjacent to Road 8 were
excluded. Said parcels are owned by the State of Colorado, Public
Service, and the Keene 4-H Club. He also said there were three petitions
to be included submitted by McAllmans, Gartrells, and Ells, who are not
adjacent to said road or in one of the five subdivisions. He noted that
four letters against, one submitted today as Exhibit MM, and ten letters
in favor of the district have been received. Mr. Scheltinga said the
improvements will consist of 12' driving lanes, with 3" of asphalt and 6"
aggregate base course, with varying shoulders not less than 4' wide. No
major earthwork is expected. Drainage will include improvements to
ditches and culverts, with the driveways being the responsibility of the
property owners. There will be a 9" increase in the height of the road.
Weld County will install any needed or requested culverts; however, the
property owner will have to pay for the purchase of said culverts. Mr.
Scheltinga said the preparation work will be done by the Weld County Road
and Bridge Department, with the aggregate base course being estimated at
$390,000. Paving will consist of 18,000 tons of asphalt estimated to cost
$435,240, with a total cost of $825,240. The districts contribution will
be $114,500, which is approximately one-quarter of the paving cost. He
said the anticipated $500 assessment will not change. Administrative
costs will be from $15,000 to $25,000, which include engineering, bidding,
hearing, field work, and legal costs. Mr. Scheltinga said the tax
notifications for this district may be separate from the regular notice.
In response to a question from Commissioner Webster, Mr. Scheltinga
explained that .7 of mile on the Interstate 76 overpass is already paved;
therefore, there will only be 7.8 miles of new pavement. Kathi Prough,

Country Estates Subdivision, submitted a petition of support with eleven
signatures, Exhibit NN, appointing her as spokesperson, and she reiterated
their support. Chairman Pro-tem Harbert had all persons in the audience
who agree with Ms. Prough stand. Mr. Morrison counted eleven people.
Wulf Kroekel, Vantage Acres, said he agrees the road needs paved; however,
he does not want to pay for it. Mr. Kroekel said the surrounding area did
not pay for paving, and his assessment will be $1000 for paving a road he
is not adjacent to and will not use. At the Chairman Pro-tern's request,
Mr. Morrison counted five people, including Mr. Kroekel, who stood in
opposition. Commissioner Lacy named several roads that have been paved
through the process of local improvement districts. Chairman Pro-tem
Harbert explained that Weld County does not solicit these districts, the
public requests them. Lola McCleskey, property owner, stated her
opposition to the payment and concerns regarding tax increases. Mr.
Morrison read the title of the proposed resolution into the record. He
explained what said resolution entails and said, upon the Board's
adoption, all statutory requirements will have been met. Commissioner
Lacy moved to approve the draft resolution to create Weld County Road 8
Local Improvement District #1992-3. Commissioner Kirby seconded the
motion, which carried unanimously.
This Certification was approved on the 20th day of July, 1992.
