Pursuant to § 24-18-109(3)(b) and § 24-18-110, C.R.S., this letter constitutes disclosure of a
relationship which may have the appearance of a conflict of interest in my official duty as a
member of the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado.
There is currently pending a hearing before the Board of County Commissioners on a Use by
Special Review permit for USR 1135. The permit is proposed to include, among other things, a
livestock confinement operation for 400 cattle. The applicant, Brian Soukup, has, from time to
time, contracted to have his cattle fed in another feedlot owned and operated by my son. I was
previously involved in the family cattle business but no longer have any financial interest. I am
unaware of the particulars of the business relationship between Mr. Soukup and my son other
than to know that the number of cattle involved is a very small portion of my son's business. I
do not believe that the Board of County Commissioners's decision on the USR would have any
affect on the business relationship between my son and Mr. Soukup. More importantly, I would
neither gain a profit nor suffer a loss even if the decision did impact the business -relationship.

Conflict of Interest

I have discussed this matter with Lee D. Morrison, Assistant County Attorney and he and I
concur that I do not have a conflict of interest in this particular case. I therefore intend to
participate in deliberations before the Board of County Commissioners regarding Soukup.
Yours very truly,
BOARD OF WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
