BUSINESS:
OLD: The four tax abatement petitions were considered in a different
order than that appearing on the agenda. Let the record reflect
that Commissioner Webster abstained from the four tax abatement
petition items, due to a conflict of interest. The first
petition to be considered was as follows:
CONSIDER TAX ABATEMENT PETITION FROM WEST GREELEY NATIONAL BANK
AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN (CONT. FROM 03/01/93) : Warren
Lasell, Assessor, discussed the overview of all four petitions.
Jeffrey Martin Monroe, Tax Profile Services, represented the
applicant. He reviewed the specifics of Schedule Number
095912104003 and explained an income approach is the one
preferred by the petitioner. Mr. Monroe reviewed the various
approaches and the reasons for the request for abatement. Mike
Sampson, Chief Appraiser, discussed the problems with Mr.
Monroe's requested value. Dave Schildmeier, Assessor' s Office,
reviewed the income approach and the typical methods used by the
Assessor' s Office to determine value. He discussed the excess
land and the fact that no easement is recorded on this piece of
property. In response to a question from Commissioner
Kirkmeyer, Mr. Schildmeier said the excess land was assessed at
$5.00 per square foot. Mr. Monroe discussed the prescriptive
easement which was created by the continued use of a track by
trucks going to and from the bank and shopping center. In
response to a question from Chairman Harbert, Mr. Barker stated
a prescriptive easement is one which was established over time.
He said it should be apparent and of record to be considered by
the Board. Mr. Sampson stated that this area is not considered
to be a prescriptive easement by the Assessor's Office, since it
is possible to fence it off to keep people from crossing, if
desired by the owner. After further discussion, Commissioner
Hall moved to concur with the recommendation of the Assessor for
denial of said petition and authorize the Chairman to sign.
Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried
unanimously, with Commissioner Webster abstaining.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to change the order of the agenda,
to consider the other three tax abatement petitions after all
other business items have been considered. The motion, which
was seconded by Commissioner Hall, carried unanimously.
NEW: CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: CORRECT CLERICAL ERROR IN EXHIBIT C TO
ASSESSMENT OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR WELD COUNTY ROAD 8 LOCAL
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 1992-3 RESOLUTION TO DELETE MYRTLE
SATTERFIELD: Drew Scheltinga, County Engineer, stated the
assessment occurred on Ms. Satterfield's property due to a
narrow strip of land that touches Weld County Road 8. When the
improvement district was assessed, all parcels touching Road 8
were assessed; however, the strip of land assessed to Ms.
Satterfield is actually a right-of-way for Weld County Road 31
and should not have been assessed to her. Commissioner Baxter
moved to approve the draft resolution. Seconded by Commissioner
Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER WELD COUNTY HUMAN RESOURCES TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN
1994-1995 UPDATE FOR SECTION 18 FUNDS - FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION
ADMINISTRATION: Walt Speckman, Director of Human Resources,
presented the Weld County Transit Development Plan Update for
1994 and 1995 to the Board for approval. Said planning document
Minutes - March 29, 1993
Page 2
is a requirement of the Federal Transportation Administration to
apply for financial assistance under Section 18 public
transportation funds. Commissioner Webster moved to approve
said plan. Seconded by Commissioner Baxter, the motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: LEGISLATIVE ACTION TO APPROVE
CONSOLIDATION OF COMMUNICATIONS CENTER WITH CITY OF GREELEY:
Chairman Harbert asked Mr. Warden for an overview of this
matter. She explained the Board would then hear testimony from
anyone wishing to speak to said matter. Mr. Warden discussed
the background of the consolidation of the communication
centers, the approval of the Tiburon criminal justice
information system, the combination of the criminal records
management operations of the City and County, and the location
of the combined dispatch center in the Centennial Complex. He
discussed the recommendation of the respective City and County
staffs and the cost savings that will result. Mr. Warden also
noted the Communications Advisory Board has unanimously
supported said consolidation, and all impacted employees were
notified of today's meeting. Letters were also sent to all user
agencies of the Communications Center; however, those letters
were mailed Friday and may have not been received in time for
each agency to respond. Mr. Warden pointed out that the
decision to consolidate is not in any way a reflection on the
operation of either center. It is simply a more cost-effective
way of providing this service. Gary Sandau, LaSalle Fire
District, expressed his concern that the consolidation is
occurring too fast to take into account all the special needs of
the rural fire districts. He felt more time should be taken in
order to allow input from the users. Alvan Shipps, Nunn Fire
Department Chief, stated his concerns over dumping the County
dispatchers, who are the ones with the most experience in
where districts are located, etc. He also said more time should
be allowed for input from the users. Peter Wagoner, Sheriff
Deputy, expressed his concerns over the number of dispatchers
being absorbed by the City. He asked if the number of calls
handled by the communications center had been considered, since
the busiest time of the year is now approaching. He noted that
200 calls will be handled in a 24-hour period. Mr. Wagoner also
questioned the effective range of the Tiburon system. He
discussed the sturdiness of the mobile system and whether it
will be a problem to maintain when traveling over bumpy County
roads. Dominic Chioda, Frederick Area Fire District, was also
concerned with the amount of time allowed to address the
problems. He discussed his concerns regarding the South Weld
tower. Jim Abbott, Windsor Fire District, asked who would be
coordinating the complaints and who would have control of the
use of frequencies. Mr. Warden answered the questions raised by
those individuals present. He said that the combined center
will have 15 employees from the City and 10 employees from the
County. A six-month period of time before full installation
should allow enough time to cross train the employees. Mr.
Warden pointed out Tiburon is a computer, not the radio system.
There will be a backup system to cover those areas not reached.
He explained the durability of the equipment and the number of
calls were all considered and reviewed by staff, and no problems
were apparent. Mr. Warden said all plans for the South Weld
tower will proceed. Complaints will still be handled through
the Communications Advisory Board, to which the only change will
be the addition of one City of Greeley representative. Use of
frequencies, etc. , will still be handled by the Communications
Advisory Board. Commissioner Hall pointed out that Lt. Jack
Statler will accompany him during the next few weeks to visit
each user. They will review the combined operation with the
users, answer any questions the users may have, and determine
any needs that need to be met. Commissioner Hall stressed there
Minutes - March 29, 1993
Page 3
will be no decrease in service, or increase in cost.
Commissioner Webster questioned whether more time should be
allowed. Commissioner Kirkmeyer pointed out that the contract
will be drawn up in the next 30-45 days to address those
specific needs. Mr. Warden discussed the awkwardness of dealing
with a sensitive staff matter in the public arena, and the users
having input through their representatives on the Communications
Advisory Board. After further discussion, Commissioner Hall
moved to approve the draft Resolution and Memorandum of
Agreement and authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded by
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.
(Changed to Tape #93-10)
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: APPOINTMENT OF JOHN C. STATLER, JR. , AS
COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: Commissioner Hall moved to
appoint John C. Statler, Jr. as the County Communications
Director. Seconded by Commissioner Baxter, the motion carried
unanimously.

DISCHARGE WITH THE MILLIKEN SANITATION DISTRICT AND AUTHORIZE

agreement and authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded by
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER THREE AGREEMENTS FOR SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS OF DRINKING
WATER WITH VARIOUS ENTITIES AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN:
Commissioner Webster moved to approve said agreements and
authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded by Commissioner
Baxter, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF WELD COUNTY ROAD 19 BETWEEN WELD
COUNTY ROADS 78 AND 80; AND WELD COUNTY ROAD 41 BETWEEN HIGHWAY
392 AND WELD COUNTY ROAD 70: Commissioner Baxter moved to
approve said closures. Seconded by Commissioner Hall, the
motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER APPOINTMENT TO HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE: Commissioner
Webster moved to appoint Maria Raseberry to the Weld County
Human Resources Committee, with a term to expire December 31,
1995. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER APPOINTMENT TO ISLAND GROVE PARK ADVISORY BOARD:
Commissioner Baxter moved to appoint Gene Brantner to the Island
Grove Park Advisory Board, with a term to expire March 1, 1996.
Seconded by Commissioner Hall, the motion carried unanimously.

BOARD: Commissioner Hall moved to appoint Leroy Zimbleman and
Jim Ehrlich to the Southeast Weld Weed District Advisory Board.
Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried
unanimously.
PUBLIC INPUT: Roy Moser stated that he was a County Commissioner at the time
the Milliken Landfill was established. He stated his concerns
over County staff allowing the agreement to continue after the
expiration date originally set. Chairman Harbert reminded him
of the Probable Cause Hearing on this matter next Monday.

AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO S PETITION BANK
SIGN FROM 03/01/93) :1/93) : Jeffrey
Monroe, Tax Profile Services, reviewed the request for market
value to be assessed at $552,300. He stated the owner agrees
with the valuation of the minibank, and the request is for only
the main bank, or Schedule Number 96117318007. Dave
Schildmeier, Assessor's Office, discussed the Assessor' s method
of calculating the value. The Assessor's recommendation is to
deny the requested abatement. After discussion, Commissioner
Hall moved to concur with the recommendation of the Assessor to
deny the abatement and authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded
by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously, with
Commissioner Webster abstaining.
CONSIDER TAX ABATEMENT PETITION FROM AFFILIATED NATIONAL BANK
AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN (CONT. FROM 03/01/93) : Mr.
Monroe stated this is Schedule Number 070712309013 for the Ault
location. He reviewed his calculation of the income approach,
for a total value of $155,236. Mr. Sampson discussed the
recommendation of the Assessor in the amount of $194, 150, which
is a partial abatement. After discussion on the approach used,
Mr. Barker asked the Assessor's staff to provide figures for the
amount of the assessed value and the amount of the tax being
requested for abatement. Mr. Sampson estimated a $56,303
assessed value. He stated the tax amount would depend upon the
mill levy for that year (1990) . He will call the Clerk' s office
with specific figures later today. Commissioner Baxter moved to
partially approve the abatement requested, to an actual value of
$194, 150 and authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded by
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously with
Commissioner Webster abstaining. Mr. Sampson is to contact the
Clerk to the Board with a specific tax amount later today.

AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN (CONT. FROM 03/01/93) : Mr. Monroe
discussed the approaches used for the downtown Greeley bank, and
he requested a total value of $3, 763,261. Mr. Sampson stated
the value was lowered previously, in approximately 1989, and the
Assessor's Office feels an adjustment to $4,900, 114 is
appropriate at this time. Assessed value would be approximately
$1,421, 033. After discussion, Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to
partially approve the abatement, to an actual value of
$4, 900, 114 and authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded by
