SPECIAL PRESENTATION BY JOHN PICKLE:
Mr. Pickle gave an overview of the broad-based Weld County Health
Department, including the areas of environmental protection, community
health services, health education, vital records, assessment and data
collecting, and prevention and policy setting. In addition to conducting
prenatal programs, well-child clinics, clinics for the handicapped and family
planning, special programs to change attitudes regarding appropriate behavior
for at-risk populations have been developed. He identified oil and gas as an
important new issue faced by the Health Department.
After an informal question and answer period during which Mr. Pickle
addressed specific concerns of Council members and Mayor Patterson,
President Young invited him to a future Council meeting in four to six months.
REPORTS:
COORDINATOR REPORTS
Councilman Orr has been working with the Planning Department helping his
clients with recorded exemptions and has discovered a number of cases where
an $825 fee would be charged in order to correct something that was not done
right to begin with. He added that planners may have felt that knowledge of all
regulations is the responsibility of the landowner; thus, may not have properly
explained the procedures and consequences. He has not yet had an
opportunity to explore possible solutions to this apparent problem.
Councilman Gardner is awaiting a return telephone call to confirm his
appointments with Sunnyvale, California, officials during his upcoming trip to
that city.
