agreement so that as individual projects take place, the Board will not have to
approve each one. Mr. Morrison explained the owner is responsible for the cost
of a back-up system if the tire absorption field does not work. In response to
Commissioner Hall, Trevor Jiricek, Health Department representative, stated
the department has $25,000 of Solid Waste Funds available to anyone

authority is required to charge the National Air Guard fair market value for use
of the land. Commissioner Baxter moved to approve said release and authorize
the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Webster, the motion carried
unanimously. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Reisman stated the

CONSIDER DUST BLOWING COMPLAINT - S8, T4N, R64W (NELSON):
Bruce Barker, County Attorney, explained a complaint was received from R.C.
Harbour concerning dust blowing from Tim Nelson's property. Mr. Barker asked
Mike Shay, West Greeley Soil Conservation Board, to inspect the site. Mr. Shay
inspected the site on April 8, 1998, and submitted a report with his
recommendation for solving the problem. Mr. Barker reviewed the findings
necessary for a dust blowing citation pursuant to Section 35-72-103, C.R.S., as
amended, and added that Mr. Harbour was notified of today's meeting, but is
not in attendance.
Tim Nelson, owner of the property in concern, stated he purchased the property
one year ago; however, the previous owner had overgrazed the land resulting
in noxious weeds which result in blowing dust. Consequently, Mr. Nelson plans
to have dryland grass planted. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr.
Nelson stated he will use the land for grazing after the grass is established. In
response to Commissioner Webster, Mr. Nelson stated he spoke with a soil
conservation representative who recommended he drill the grass, replant in the
fall if necessary, and added he plans to use windbreaks. Commissioner
Kirkmeyer moved to dismiss the complaint due to Mr. Nelson's proposed plan
of action. Commissioner Webster seconded the motion, which carried
unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda.
No Ordinances were approved.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to
and respectfully submitted by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at 9:20 a.m.
