APPROVE WASTE TIRE CLEANUP SERVICES AT MCMILL LANDFILL -
HEALTH DEPARTMENT: Pat Persichino, Director of General Services,
recommended acceptance of the bid from Tire Mountain, Inc., because of the
three week time factor and the money would be coming back into the County.
Chair Baxter stated a work session was held earlier this week; however, both
vendors were not able to attend. He asked each vendor to give their comments
at this time. Rusty Cole, owner of Snowy River Enterprises, explained his
company has a market through the State Health Department and can produce
a letter to that effect. He stated his concern that the details of the bid were not
followed, specifically, that Tire Mountain's bid was for cost per ton, instead of a
total amount. It was later determined the total would not exceed $75,000 for Tire
Mountain. Mr. Cole referenced Section 2.C and 2.E of the bid document, which
states the bid should include all costs to be incurred and that late bids will not
be accepted. Mr. Persichino stated the bid document also says cost is not a
determining factor and was, therefore, not a determining factor in his
recommendation. He stated there was no change made in the unit cost of Tire
Mountain's bid and discussed the time factor variation of six months for Mr.
Cole's company to complete the project, versus three weeks for Tire Mountain.
Jerald Jamison, Tire Mountain, Inc., stated he put a $75,000 cap on this project
so that if the tonnage is less than his estimate, the County will only pay $91.00
per ton. If it is more than his estimate, he will lose money on the project.
Responding to Chair Baxter and Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Jamison stated
he had no concerns with the bid procedure and he estimated 824 tons of tires.
Responding to further questions from the Board, Mr. Jamison stated he will not
know for sure what the tonnage is until the tires are weighed. He stated his
standard procedure is to weigh the truck after the tires are loaded, and use that
weight for the basis of his charge to customers. Trevor Jiricek, Health
Department, stated the grant that has been received for this project does not
require low bid. Commissioner Kirkmeyer also indicated the grant dollars will not
be there indefinitely and time is an important factor. Mr. Jiricek also mentioned
there are some issues of non-compliance over time with Snowy River
Enterprises and the Certificate of Designation was issued by the Town of Mead
since it is within municipal boundaries. Commissioner Hall moved to accept the
bid from Tire Mountain, Inc., because of time constraints and the amount of
$91.00 per ton was included in the bid at opening. Seconded by Commissioner
Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.

of screenings that may be performed. Commissioner Harbert moved to approve

Webster, the motion carried unanimously.

through December 31, 1997. Commissioner Hall moved to approve said

CONSIDER ZPMH #2055 - MILLER (PLANNER KEITHLEY): Kerri Keithley,
Department of Planning Services, stated this request from Joe and Chris Miller
for a Mobile Home to be used as a principal dwelling sits on approximately 115
acres. She noted it is being considered by the Board because signatures were
obtained from only 59 percent of the surrounding property owners. Ms. Keithley
Minutes, June 18, 1997 971144
Page 3 BC0016
entered staffs recommendation into the record and stated the applicant intends
to use the mobile home for farm labor; she also noted there is no other
residence on the site. She entered into the record two pictures of the mobile
home and a letter from N. Charles and Mary Allen, marked as Exhibits A, B, and
C. Joe Miller, Applicant, stated his brother-in-law, who helps him occasionally
with the farm work, is the one who will be living in the mobile home. Responding
to Commissioner Harbert, he said rent will be charged. Kerri Keithley verified for
Commissioner Kirkmeyer this is acceptable for a mobile home as a principal
dwelling; however, it would not be for an accessory to the farm use. Responding
to Chair Baxter, Mr. Miller stated he was unable to get 70 percent of the
property owners to sign. He indicated the nearby dairy has seven mobile homes
and stated he is a farmer and does not hold any other job. He further indicated
he lives five miles away, although he farms within two miles of the site. Mary
Allen, property owner immediately south of the site, stated her main objection
is having the mobile home be a rental. She discussed the attempts to establish
a certain quality of life and sense of community within the neighborhood, stating
a rental mobile home would negatively impact both, since the renter would not
have a vested interest in the neighborhood. Responding to Commissioner
Kirkmeyer, she stated her neighborhood is not limited in size, it includes anyone
she comes into contact with. Ms. Keithley noted the Allen's have a mobile home
on their property. Ms. Allen explained it is used as a permanent dwelling,
however, they intend to build a stick home in the future. Chuck Allen stated his
concerns about the depreciation of older mobile homes and whether the mobile
home would be adequately maintained on a rental basis. Responding to direct
questions from Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Allen stated there have been no
major issues that Mr. Miller has not cooperated on, although there are some
tumbleweeds on the fence, and Mr. Miller was a little slow in rounding up cattle
when they got out. John Zermuehlen, adjacent property owner, stated he has
lived on his property for 17 years and spent a lot of money improving said
property; however, Mr. Miller does not do a good job of maintaining his. He said
there is an old stock tank in the field and, although he erected a new fence to
keep the cows in, he did not remove the old fence. Mr. Miller indicated on the
map the distance between his mobile home and the residences of those
individuals who spoke against this matter. Responding to questions, Mr. Miller
indicated he has owned the property for two years; however, he has only had
cattle on the property since spring of 1996. He indicate his plans are to plant in
grass, install a nice fence, place landscaping including fast growing trees around
the mobile home, and to paint and fix up the mobile home. Responding to
questions from Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Miller indicated that on the
property he now farms, which is two miles north of this site, he has never had
problems with his neighbors; and he indicated this property is in better condition
now than when he purchased it two years ago. Stating that this request is not
incompatible with the surrounding area or the Weld County Comprehensive
Plan, Commissioner Harbert moved to approve ZPMH #2055 with the
Conditions of Approval as recommended by staff. Seconded by Commissioner
Hall, the motion carried unanimously.
