CONSIDER REQUEST TO REPOST WELD COUNTY ROAD 392 BETWEEN
HIGHWAY 37 AND HIGHWAY 14 TO 65 MPH SPEED LIMIT: Mr. Scheltinga
explained CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation) has been conducting
speed studies prior to reposting speed limit signs in line with traffic speed. He
stated CDOT conducted a study on Highway 392 and Weld County Road 392
and Weld County also conducted a study on Weld County Road 392, with both
studies indicating 85 percent of the traffic travels above 65 mph on this road;
therefore, staff recommends increasing the speed limit to 65 mph, with one
exception on a sharp curve northeast of Crow Creek bridge to remain 45 mph
for approximately one-half mile. Mr. Scheltinga responded to numerous
questions from the Board and explained the Signing Diagram to the Board.
(Changed to Tape #97-13 during Mr. Scheltinga's comments.) He concurred the
45 mph and 55 mph signs south bound from State Highway 14 are not
necessary and confirmed a revised diagram will be prepared. After further
discussion, Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said request, including
said changes. The motion, seconded by Commissioner Hall, carried
unanimously.

AND APPOINT JUDY BOECK AS GIS ADMINISTRATOR: Mr. Warden stated
the Board previously authorized the processing of the GIS documents and the
governance committee prepared the mission statement for roles and details
concerning products, services, and licensing as a safeguard. He stated staff
has reviewed other counties' GIS plans, specifically Jefferson County's, on
which the Jefferson County Attorney was very involved. Mr. Warden stated the
Open -Records Act has been reviewed and the GIS Section to be included in the
Administrative Manual details roles and responsibilities approved by the
governance committee and the County Attorney's Office. Mr. Warden also
recommended appointing Judy Boeck of SCT as the GIS Administrator.
Commissioner Hall moved to approve said resolution, and Commissioner
