following present:
Commissioner Constance L. Harbert, Chairman
Commissioner W. H. Webster, Pro-Tem
Commissioner George E. Baxter
Commissioner Dale K. Hall
Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer
Also present:
Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller

County Engineer, Drew Scheltinga
The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated January 6, 1993, and duly
published January 14, 1993, in the Windsor Beacon, a public hearing was
conducted to consider the creation of a local improvement district in
Arrowhead Subdivision on February 17, 1993. At said hearing of February
17, 1993 said matter was continued to March 31, 1993, pursuant to an
amended notice dated February 17, 1993. Bruce Barker, Assistant County
Attorney, made this a matter of record. Mr. Barker noted the amended
notice was sent to all property owners, and he said the Board should
consider accepting the draft resolution to create a local improvement
district. Drew Scheltinga, County Engineer, explained a map which
illustrated roads to be paved and roads already paved in Arrowhead
Subdivision. There are 163 total parcels, of which 110, or 67%,
petitioned for the district. Mr. Scheltinga explained the lots adjacent
to the unpaved roads will be assessed a full assessment; and lots adjacent
to roads already paved will be assessed one-half of an assessment. He
said of the 111 lots to receive a full assessment, 70% petitioned, and of
the 52 lots to receive one-half of an assessment, 62% petitioned. He
explained State statute requires the petition be based on cost. Of the
estimated total which is $179,470.00, $123, 140.00, or 69%, was petitioned,
which meets statutory requirements. Mr. Scheltinga said there will be no
grading and only minor readjustments. There will be shaping and improving
to the bed as it exists, with 2" to 4" of basecourse added. Two 12' paved
lanes will be created with 21" of asphalt. The shoulders will vary with
the conditions. No major drainage improvements will be done, even though
there are drainage problems in the area. Mr. Scheltinga said the original
cost estimate was $160,000.00 to $180, 000.00. At the original creation
hearing held in February, the Board authorized the Engineering Department
to proceed with the bid process. The lowest bid received was $193, 480.00,
which is 7% over the high end of the estimated amount. Mr. Scheltinga
said the asphalt is going to cost $22.35 per ton; however, the gravel,
which was estimated at $5.80 per ton, is going to cost $6. 75 per ton for
the base and $7.00 per ton for the shoulders. He noted that the 111 lots
will be assessed $1,413.00, generating $156,843.00, and the 52 lots will
be assessed $706.00, generating $36, 712.00, for a total of $193,555.00.
Mr. Scheltinga explained the County's financing is over 10 years, with 8%
simple interest. He noted the increase in payments would be approximately
$18.00 per year for full assessments and $9.00 or $10.00 per year for one-
half assessments. Mr. Scheltinga said all utilities have been located,
and no problems are anticipated. In regard to the major gas line, Mr.
Scheltinga read part of the January 25, 1993, letter from Peggy
Fitzgerald, Public Service representative, stating there are no apparent
conflicts. The City of Evans maintains 10 water valves in the area, which
will require minor adjustments. The Arrowhead Water District will be

putting in two crossings prior to construction. Two minor realignments
will need to be done, one at Pawnee and Arrowhead Drives, and one at Kiowa
and Arrowhead Drives. The surrounding property owners have been
contacted, and there are no conflicts. Jane Hopper, property owner, asked
if the final assessment is a fixed amount or if it will change again. Mr.
Scheltinga explained the final amount is based on the final cost of
construction. He said they have much tighter control now because the
contractor will be paid only for the amount bid. He noted the original
estimate was based on last year's costs and said no increase is
anticipated. In response to a question from Chairman Harbert, Mr.
Scheltinga said the assessment will be adjusted, up or down, according to
the final cost. In response to a question from Ms. Hopper, Mr. Scheltinga
confirmed that the cost of the gravel cannot go up again, because the bid
is fixed and the contractor is required to submit a bond guaranteeing said
price. Donald Moss, property owner, said he feels the unit costs are
reasonable and recommended continuing with the project as described.
Randee Cook, property owner, asked if the pavement will be torn up because
of the water valves. Mr. Scheltinga said the valves will be located and
all repair and/or major work will be done prior to paving. Mr. Scheltinga
explained the valves will actually be paved over, the utility company will
cut a small hole in the pavement, adjust the valve, and pour a concrete
collar around the valve. He reiterated that all utility companies have
been contacted, and all work is to be done prior to paving. Ms. Cook
questioned whether the water pressure will be improved and stated she is
in favor of the district. Mr. Scheltinga said the City of Evans has not
mentioned the water pressure. Commissioner Hall moved to approve the
creation of Weld County Arrowhead Local Improvement District #1993-1, and
Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion. Mr. Barker noted that the
amounts in Paragraph F of the draft resolution need to be adjusted
according to the bid. Commissioners Hall and Kirkmeyer agreed to include
such in the motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Scheltinga stated the
work will probably begin in three to four weeks, based on weather and road
conditions.
This Certification was approved on the 5th day of April, 1993.
