SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to the Bylaws for the Weld County
p y
Criminal Justice Advisory Committee
I have received a request from Kim Fliethman, Manager, Weld County Sheriffs Office, for an
amendment to the Bylaws for the Weld County Criminal Justice Advisory Committee. The Sheriff s
Office would like to add Sections D and E to the Article X, "Standing Subcommittees." These
subcommittees deal with juvenile justice and domestic violence, respectively.
Attached is a copy of the Bylaws with the requested amendments. Please note that in order to
accommodate these two new subcommittees, we will need to add additional members to the Committee.
those being members 15-22 on page 2.
It is my understanding from talking with Kim that Ed Jordan and Rick Dill have approved the requested
amendments. I recommend that the Board also approve the requested amendments.
