CONSIDER REQUEST FOR 1997 STATE ENERGY PROGRAM GRANT
FROM HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY: Jeff Stoll
and Sheble McConnellogue, Health Department, stated this grant proposal is
in the amount of $34,120, which will be used to purchase a Ford F250
dedicated, compressed natural gas vehicle, signage for marketing this vehicle,
and staff time to promote and educate people about alternative fuels. He noted
$6,870 will be in -kind participation to meet the required 20% match of $6,825.
Responding to Commissioner Harbert, Mr. Stoll explained staffs plans to
participate in parades and other local events to allow the vehicle to be seen by
citizens throughout the community. He clarified this vehicle will be an addition
to the fleet; however, it will reduce mileage presently traveled on gasoline
engines and will also reduce the use of personal cars by staff. Ms.
McConnellogue, responding to questions from the Board, indicated this vehicle
is expected to travel approximately 12,000 miles per year. She also indicated
the reduced use of personal cars by staff will offset the four cent per gallon
increase in the cost of fuel. Mr. Warden stated staff previously looked at this
option for the fleet; however, the limited availability of fuel prohibits use
throughout the full range of the County for Public Works and Planning. Ms.
McConnellogue stated the range for this vehicle is approximately 540 miles,
which is greatly increased over previous evaluations by staff. Responding to
Commissioner Hall, Mr. Stoll indicated the vendor providing the vehicle will also
provide training for mechanics from the County. Commissioner Harbert moved
to approve said grant proposal. The motion, which was seconded by
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, carried unanimously.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: AGREEMENT FOR TAX INCENTIVE
PAYMENT FOR RADER RAILCAR II, INC., AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO
SIGN: Mr. Warden stated this is the standard agreement used previously for
incentives to several other companies and it appears the assessed value will be
high enough to accommodate the request. Rader Railcar II, Inc., qualifies for the
incentive payment available under Senate Bill #90-118 and Senate Bill #94-182
because it has invested, or intends to invest, in qualifying personal property.
Commissioner Harbert moved to approve said agreement and authorize the
Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE PROPOSALS: Mr.
Warden stated the County has been in Colorado Counties Casualty and
Property Pool (CAPP) since 1986; however, every five or six years he requests
an insurance bid to make sure the costs remain competitive. He indicated
proposals from CAPP, A.J. Gallagher and Company, Lockton Insurance
Companies, and Flood and Peterson Insurance, Inc., indicate CAPP remains
the best alternative for the County. Mr. Warden also indicated the insurance will
be effective July 1, 1997; therefore, action should be taken immediately to allow
45 days for notification to the proper parties. Commissioner Hall moved to select

the proposal submitted by CAPP. Seconded by Commissioner Harbert, the
motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: DIRECTING CLERK TO THE BOARD TO
HAVE PUBLISHED EMERGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 186-C, SUPPLEMENTAL
APPROPRIATION FOR 1996: Mr. Warden indicated one additional
supplemental appropriation is necessary for 1996. He stated the main areas
requiring supplemental appropriations are Community Correction Grants and
VALE accounting done by the Courts. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to
approve said resolution. The motion, which was seconded by Commissioner
Harbert, carried unanimously.

There were no ordinances.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to
and respectfully submitted by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
