Commissioner Kennedy moved to approve the warrants as presented

Let the record reflect that a recess was taken at this time to

BIDS: PRESENT COPIER - HEALTH DEPARTMENT: Pat Persichino, Director of
General Services, presented the bids for a copier for the Health
Department which will be submitted for approval on July 3, 1991.
There were seven bids submitted, of which Lewan & Associates is
the apparent low bid.
APPROVE SEVEN (7) PORTABLE CLASSROOM BUILDINGS - HEADSTART
SCHOOL: The Board has previously approved the purchase of seven
portable classroom buildings, but an option for the foundations
did not receive authorization. The cost of foundations is
$1,980 per building. Commissioner Webster moved to approve
$1,980 per building for the foundations. Commissioner Harbert
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
APPROVE 83RD AVENUE LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT - ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENT: Chairman Lacy reminded the Board this bid approval
would be conditional upon the creation of the district,
scheduled for a 10:00 a.m. hearing this morning. Mr. Persichino
read the names of the bidders. The low bid is from the Weld
County Road and Bridge Department in the amount of $140,857.30,
and the second low bid is from Coulson Excavating Company, Inc.
in the amount of $164, 769.00. Mr. Scheltinga stated that, in
response to Weld County's inquiry, Coulson submitted a change to
their bid. If Weld County provides the gravel, they will reduce
the cost from $7.50 to $4.00 per ton for a total reduction to
their initial bid of $11, 655.00, making their total bid price
$153, 114.00. Commissioner Harbert stated she felt it unethical
for the Road and Bridge Department to bid on County bids without
first informing other bidders of this possibility. She moved to
approve the Coulson bid, with a change order in the amount of
$11, 655.00 to reflect the above change. Commissioner Webster
seconded the bid. Commissioner Kirby explained that he feels
the County bid is fair and legitimate, but that our employees
have enough work to complete within our own projects. Chairman
Lacy stated he feels the County is required, by the Charter and
the bid process, to approve the low bid. The motion carried
four to one, with Chairman Lacy voting against said motion.

seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
Let the record reflect that Lee Morrison, Assistant County
Attorney, is now the attorney of record.
PLANNING: CONSIDER PROBABLE CAUSE - ADRENALIN ADVENTURES, C/O JAMES
MCDONALD: Keith Schuett, Department of Planning Services,
presented the violation, referred to as ZCH 1174. The violation
is in reference to the uses allowed under Use by Special Review
Permit 11537, issued to James McDonald. Chairman Lacy asked Mr.
Schuett to read the violation listed as 111, which specifically
lists the uses allowed under this Permit. He also stated that
bungee jumping from a hot air balloon is the activity taking
place which staff feels is not allowed under said Permit.
Martin Mansfield, attorney representing Mr. McDonald, stated his
client feels that the use taking place is within the technical
use of an airport. He stated that hot air balloons are aircraft
and, as such, subject to FAA Regulations. The use of bungee
cords is not much different from the parachute jumping that is
allowed under the Permit, and he listed a number of regular
airport uses which are not specifically listed as being allowed.
In regards to reckless concern, he stated the owner and operator
have been working with the FAA to develop safety standards for
this sport, and are operating within existing standards. He
said it makes excellent training for an individual prior to
parachute jumping. Commissioner Webster asked if the same
Minutes - June 19, 1991
Page 3
regulations apply to aircraft and hot air balloons. Douglas
Hase, operator of Adrenalin Adventures, stated that FAR 1191
applies to hot air balloons and parachuting. Commissioner Kirby
stated the concern of today's hearing is to decide whether or
not the use taking place fits within the uses allowed and if it
is authorized. Mr. Schuett stated that in the application
materials, 112A includes all specific uses to be allowed under
Special Use Permit 11537, such as parachute jumping. Mr. Hase
stated that a specific number of aircraft are allowed, but there
is no breakdown as to how many planes and how many balloons. In
response to Commissioner Harbert's questions, Mr. Schuett said
staff feels that an amendment to their Permit is the proper way
to include this use. Helen Jubenville, a surrounding property
owner, was present and commented on the fact that the operation
has never complied with the Permit, especially in the areas of
screening and allowing junk to accumulate, as well as the noise
level. She stated that they are now camping on the premises.
Mr. Schuett asked if the noise level has increased since the
bungee jumping began. She said it had. Geraldine Russell, a
surrounding property owner, stated that there is also a problem
with trespassing. She has talked to the operator, but is told
that is not his responsibility. Ed Herson, surrounding property
owner, said trespassing is sometimes going to occur with
parachuting, but it does not occur often. He said bungee
jumping is a sport, just like skydiving, and it is impossible to
keep up with the technicalities of this sport and list
everything in the Permit. In response to Chairman Lacy's
question, Mr. Herson stated a good percentage of parachuters
first try bungee jumping. Mr. Herson summarized his remarks by
stating he feels bungee jumping is an allowed use. Commissioner
Kirby expressed his concern that the aspects of this case that
need to be looked at, such as the numbers of flights allowed,
cannot be determined here. Mr. Hase stated he had not been
aware of the noise problem, but that could be addressed.
Commissioner Kennedy questioned whether Operation Standard #7,
regarding trash being removed from the property, is also in
violation. Mr. Mansfield presented letters which indicate 13
neighbors are in favor of this use, and the noise made by people
is nowhere near the decibel level as that made by aircraft. He
stated this use is consistent with being an airport, as well as
being consistent with FAA regulations. He stated the changes in
technology prohibit specifically listing the various uses of an
airport operation. Commissioner Webster moved to dismiss the
probable cause. The motion died for lack of a second. (Change
to tape $91-15) Commissioner Harbert moved to set a Show Cause
Hearing on September 11, 1991. Mr. Morrison asked her to
specify the issues to be considered during the hearing. After
discussion, Commissioner Harbert restated her motion to schedule
a Show Cause Hearing on September 11, 1991 to consider whether
or not bungee jumping is an allowed use, and to continue the
Probable Cause Hearing for two weeks to consider the other
possible violations. Commissioner Kirby seconded the motion.
After further discussion, the motion and second was withdrawn.
Commissioner Harbert moved to schedule a Show Cause Hearing on
September 11, 1991 at 10:00 a.m. to consider whether or not
bungee jumping is an allowed use. Commissioner Kirby seconded
the motion. On roll call vote, the motion carried with
Commissioners Harbert, Kirby and Lacy voting for the motion; and
Commissioners Kennedy and Webster voting against said motion.
Staff was directed to pursue the possibility of further
violations in their normal manner and schedule a Probable Cause
Hearing if it is so indicated.
RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDINANCES: The Resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
consent agenda. There were no Ordinances.
