the subdivider. Mr. Morrison stated Dave Becker, Department of Public Works,
was asked to review the proper road layout as shown in the legal description.
Since he has not heard from Mr. Becker, Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to
continue this matter to September 27, 1999, at 9 a.m. Commissioner Geile
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL TO PRESENT ADVANCED FIELD TRAINING
SEMINARS FOR WELD COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE - NATIONAL
INSTITUTE OF ETHICS, INC.: Bruce Barker, County Attorney, stated the
course fee of $8,300 for each course, with two courses scheduled in January
of next year. If not able to fill all the slots, the Sheriffs Department will let other
agencies participate, charging a fee for participation. Mr. Warden stated it is
included in the Sheriff's budget. Commissioner Vaad moved to approve said
proposal. Seconded by Commissioner Baxter, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE #210 - IN THE MATTER OF WINDSOR SERVICE
AREA ROAD IMPACT FEES: Mr. Warden stated the tape of both Ordinances
has finished and explained this is in conjunction with the Smart Growth Grant.
He said the study was done by Duncan Associates and the consultants,
Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig. He stated the impact fees are based on a demand-
driven formula which Duncan Associates have done nationwide, resulting in a
fee structure for each respective area, as far as charging for certain land use
items. Mr. Duncan is planning on making a full presentation during the second
reading, which is on October 18, 1999. Mr. Warden also stated the
methodology of impact fees has been used in Colorado before, i.e. Larimer
County and Aspen, as well as nationwide, and has stood up to court challenges.
Mr. Warden further stated staff and the consultants have been working with the
municipalities and it appears Windsor and Severance will be participating for
sure; and Longmont and Frederick are participating for sure, although the
Firestone and Dacono Town Boards are still deciding on the degree of
participation. In conjunction with these Ordinances, Mr. Warden explained,
would be individual Intergovernmental Agreements with each participating
municipality, the mechanics of which is spelled out in the Ordinance. Mr.
Warden stated with one hundred percent participation in the Windsor/Severance
area there is no problem; however, because these are demand-driven formulas,
if Firestone or Dacono decide not to participate in the Southwest Weld Service
Area, the fees would still be valid, and would be adjusted according to who is
included or excluded. It would impact the Intergovernmental Agreements and
ultimate Capital Improvement Plan of which roads to improve. Mr. Warden also
stated Erie will not be participating because they are annexing most of the area
that is impacted; however, we will still have fees for the unincorporated portions
of that area. Mr. Warden further stated we have divided these into benefit areas
with dollars to be spent within that specific area, two West of 1-25 divided by
Highway 52 and the other area being everything east of 1-25.
Responding to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Barker stated the term was set for
10 years, renewable on a yearly basis, to get past 5 years. Commissioner
Kirkmeyer stated it should be more like 20 years, to coincide with the Capital
Improvement Plan, and that the term of board members being four years may
be a problem because some of the Mayors and city officials have two or three
year terms. After discussion, Mr. Warden stated if the Board desires to change
Minutes, September 22, 1999 991938
Page 3 BC0016
the term from 10 to 20 and to delete the referrals to four-year terms, it should
do so on this reading, since that will provide the cleanest possible version to be
sent out to the municipalities. There was no public testimony given.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve, with duration changed from 10 to
20 years, and deleting any reference to terms being four years. Commissioner
Baxter seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE #211 - IN THE MATTER OF SOUTHWEST WELD
SERVICE AREA ROAD IMPACT FEES: Commissioner Kirkmeyer said the
same changes should be made to this Ordinance as were made to #210.
Sharon Hopper, southwest county resident, gave her support for impact fees in
the area. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve Ordinance#211 on first
reading with the same changes that were made for Ordinance #210.
Commissioner Vaad seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda.
Ordinances #210 and #211 were approved on first reading.
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 9:40 a.m.
