RE: ADDITION TO POLICY CONCERNING ELECTION CHARGES
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, pursuant to
Colorado statute and the Weld County Home Rule Charter, is vested with the authority of
administering the affairs of Weld County, Colorado, and
WHEREAS, the Weld County Home Rule Charter, Article XV, Section 15-5, has been
amended to provide for elections regarding certain types of facilities, and
WHEREAS, the proponent of such a facility may chose whether the election will occur
during a November county-wide election or by special election by virtue of the timing of the
submittal of the request to the Board of County Commissioners to place an issue on the ballot, and
WHEREAS, the cost of such a special election regarding a single facility is found to be an
expense which should not be borne by the taxpayers of Weld County when the issues could be
decided at a November election at a nominally incremental cost.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld
County, Colorado, that the actual costs of any special election held on the issue of siting a facility
pursuant to the Weld County Home Rule Charter, Article XV, Section 15-5 shall be assessed to the
proponents of such a facility and an accounting of the actual costs provided the proponents.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Board that the proponents of any such facility shall
provide collateral in the form of cash, letter of credit or a bond to cover the estimated costs of such
a special election prior to the Board adopting a resolution calling a special election.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Board that the proponent's expenses may be reduced
only to the extent that any other entity or individual other than Weld County has paid election
expenses pursuant to County policy.
