OD Pr 46- /qq 61 C '3 990414 Weld County Council Minutes January 5, 1999-Page 2 of 4 PUBLIC COMMENT: Greeley Attorney Dan Post reiterated his desire for information from Weld County regarding its lease with Winona's. He said that he felt that the information he was requesting was public information and that his clients did not want to have to go to court to find out more about Winona's lease. Mr. Post stated that he was under the impression that he could not appear at a County Commissioners' meeting to talk about the Winona's matter without identifying his clients. He said that his clients believe that Winona's is being subsidized by Weld County and that is illegal. Mr. Post said that his most pressing concern was the non response of Weld County to his inquiries. He said that an honest explanation from Weld County explaining why the fair market value of the space occupied by Winona's is less than other downtown Greeley rental space would satisfy his clients.
