BUSINESS:
OLD: CONSIDER REQUEST OF CITY OF THORNTON TO WITHDRAW PETITION FOR
ANNEXATION - WELD COUNTY ROAD 13: Jack Ethredge, City Manager
of the City of Thornton, said the City of Thornton has spoken
with the citizens of South Weld County about annexation, and he
believes the majority does not want to be annexed. He also
commented on the Town/County Meeting last Thursday night. Mr.
Ethredge suggested that long term planning needs to be done
before any annexation takes place and stated his reasons. He
explained the City of Thornton's Master Plan which was developed
in 1984 and the draft Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) ,
submitted by the City of Thornton, between Thornton, Northglenn,
Broomfield, and Weld County. Mr. Ethredge stated further
Minutes - April 17, 1991
Page 2
reasons for requesting the withdrawal of the Petition, and said
upon the agreement of the Kirkmeyers, property owners on Weld
County Road 13, the City of Thornton will annex and maintain
said Road. Commissioner Lacy said other areas, such as Erie and
Tri-Town area, do not have IGA's. Mr. Ethredge said Thornton
has no problem with other entities being involved, and they have
had meetings with them. Commissioner Harbert questioned the
litigation between Northlenn and Thornton over an annexation
dispute. Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, and Mr.
Ethredge commented on said litigation. Margaret Carpenter,
Mayor of Thornton's City Council, reinstated Mr. Ethredge's
reasons for requesting the withdrawal of said Petition. She
also made further comments on the proposed IGA. Susan Payne,
Mayor Pro-tem of the City of Northglenn, read into the record a
letter, dated April 15, 1991, regarding Weld County Road 13,
addressed to the Board from Northglenn. In addition, Ms. Payne
also commented on the Town/County Meeting last Thursday evening
and stated concerns with the legality of the IGA. Lee Phillips,
Northglenn City Attorney, said his understanding is that the
Kirkmeyers are not interested in annexing to any municipality.
He also stated legal concerns about the IGA and commented on a
Supreme Court case regarding precluding the development of
property. He said if you preclude development of property
temporarily, you buy said property temporarily. In closing, Mr.
Phillips underscored the comments of Ms. Payne and reinstated
the request to not withdraw said Petition. Commissioner Kennedy
questioned Mr. Phillips' statement concerning the preclusion of
property. Mr. Phillips made further comments on the subject.
Dwayne and Barbara Kirkmeyer stated their concerns about the
annexation of Weld County Road 13 to any city. They also
commented on previous negotiations with the City of Thornton and
requested the Board to withdraw said Petition. Commissioner
Harbert explained the Board's position to Ms. Kirkmeyer. In
response to Commissioner Kennedy's question, Mr. Morrison
explained what the Board would need to do to remain neutral.
Commissioner Kirby commented on the adjacent property, which has
been annexed by Northglenn, and said this procedure is
consistent with past procedures. Ms. Carpenter said the City of
Thornton would be willing to sign an agreement not to annex,
until long range planning is done, if Northglenn will do the
same. Commissioner Kirby asked Northglenn if they would be
willing to do so. Ms. Payne and Mr. Phillips said they have no
problem with signing an agreement not to annex. Mr. Morrison,
in clarification of Ms. Kirkmeyer's previous comment, said Weld
County does have a Comprehensive Plan which was revised in 1987,
and the County has not ignored the concept of comprehensive
planning. Chairman Lacy asked the Board if there was a motion
to withdraw the petition. Mr. Morrison said if there is no
motion to withdraw this Petition, the Board's position will
stay. He also stated the issues addressed can be clarified by
an annexation agreement to be entered into prior to the final
approval of the annexation. Chairman Lacy said there is no
motion to withdraw the Petition for Annexation of Weld County
Road 13 to the City of Northglenn; therefore the Board will
proceed with the next item of business.
REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF THORNTON FOR AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL
AGREEMENT FOR A MORATORIUM ON ANNEXTION IN SOUTH WELD COUNTY:
Chairman Lacy suggested this matter be referred to the County
Attorney's staff for recommendation. Commissioner Kennedy moved
to support the IGA and the idea of the information received from
Thornton to pursue the moratorium on annexation within legal
constraints. Commissioner Webster seconded the motion.
Commissioners Kirby and Harbert said they would like a better
explanation of what support means in this case. Commissioner
Kennedy explained his motion. Commissioner Kirby said he would
still like more clarification and stated his reasons.
Commissioner Kennedy clarified that the motion is to support
Minutes - April 17, 1991
Page 3
only the concept of the IGA and not to approve the IGA.
Commissioner Kennedy restated his motion to support the concept
of an IGA to include Weld County and all entities involved after
they have completed the regional task force on rezoning and
comprehensive planning. Mr. Morrison verified the wording of
the motion. Commissioner Kennedy said this is within legal
constraints. The motion carried unanimously.

year is $4858.00, and approximately 280 people will be served.

across State Highway 71 and causing visibility problems. The
owner of said property is Mr. Lousberg, and the operator is Mr.
Hnizdil. Some work was done on said property in January, due to
a previous dust blowing complaint. Mr. Barker submitted
pictures from the State Highway Department to the Board, and he
said he sent Mr. Hnizdil a letter by certified mail, but he has
not received a card back. Lynn Healey, of the Centennial Soil
Conservation District, stated in a letter that the next step to
be taken is to apply 40 tons of manure per acre. After further
discussion, Commissioner Kennedy moved, according to the dust
blowing standards, to follow the recommendation of the
Centennial Soil Conservation District. Commissioner Harbert
seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. Commissioner
Lacy said Mr. Hnizdil needs to have the dirt removed from the
Highway right-of-way and clean up the property damage. Mr.

Letters of Credit. Rick Hattman, of Gefroh Hattman, Inc. ,
presented the revised Letter of Credit for the Landscape
Agreement to Mr. Morrison. Mr. Morrison said the correction in

submitted the Letter of Credit for the Road Improvements
Agreement to Mr. Morrison. Mr. Hattman said he would like to
discuss the warranty collateral for the street improvements. He
said the County Engineer did not want to accept the improvements
for County maintenance; therefore it would be a public right-of-
way. He said they have a warranty clause with their contractor,
and requested the section for the warranty collateral in the
Road Improvements Agreement be removed since it is remaining a
private street. In response to questions of the Board, Mr.
Morrison clarified the situation and the policy of the County,
and Mr. Schuett recommended the warranty be maintained to
protect the County and the potential purchasers for a one-year
period. Duane Kunkel, representing Antelope Hills, PUD,
questioned the time period for the warranty after the road is
accepted by the County. Mr. Morrison said 10% of the warranty
has to be maintained for one year after the initial approval of
the road. After further comments, Commissioner Kirby moved to
approve said Agreement and authorize the Chairman to sign with
the warranty collateral left in said Agreeement. Commissioner
Webster seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS REPORT
APRIL 17, 1991
By Curt Probert, Weld County Cooperative Extension Director
Gene Inloes will present a report on the following program:
Wholesome Meat Animal Assurance Program - A wholesome meat animal
assurance program was developed for the youth in Weld County. A fair board
committee and Extension Agents developed the following:
1. Wholesome meat animal assurance manual
2. Certification examination
3. Certification and disclosure statement
G. Revised county fair rules and protest forms
5. Drug related testing procedures
6. Slide program which was presented for 250 members and parents
This effort reduced the perception that youth market projects are
contaminated with synthetic hormones, muscle enhancing drugs, antibiotics or
pesticides. Carcass tests revealed no drug related problems. This program,
through education and certification, assures that every producer of a market
animal will feed and maintain their animals in a proper manner to provide a
safe and wholesome product to the consuming public.
Other program "highlights" of January - March, 1991, include the following:

1990 LYNCH PASTURE ROTATION STUDY
This trial was conducted in the Pawnee National Grasslands (map
appendix A) during the summer grazing season in 1990. Included in the
study were 203 cow-calf pairs. The calves were weighed at branding on
April 14 and May 12. The pairs were randomly allotted to the pastures.
The pastures included the Willow pasture (three-pasture, multiple rotation
system) and the North Yearling pasture (season long grazing) . Also
included in the data are two other pastures which are outside of the
National Grasslands . These pastures are the Batt and the Davis. The Batt
pasture is subirrigated and includes alfalfa, brome and some salt grass.
The Davis pasture is river bottom and is primarily rushes and sedges .
The Willow pasture starting the grazing season with 90 pairs and the
North Yearling pasture had 90 pairs at the start of the grazing season.
Due to dry conditions 20 percent of the pairs were removed from the North
Yearling on September 16.
The 2181 acre Willow pasture is divided into three pastures (appendix
B) which are referred to as the Top pasture, Exclosure pasture and the
Creek pasture. Table I shows the grazing schedule for the three pastures
in 1990.
