Dear Chief Hopkins:
This is to advise you that the Board of Weld County Commissioners has agreed to donate the
county's explosive response truck to Colorado State University as requested in your May 25,
1997,letter. The donation will be on our June 16, 1997,agenda for formal approval by board
resolution.
Please work with Claud Hanes,Weld County Comptroller,to obtain the title to the vehicle and to
arrange to pick it up when it is available. His telephone number is 970-356-4000,extension
4444. Before you take possession of the vehicle,Mr.Hanes will make sure the title is in the
name of the university.
If you have questions,please call Don Warden,Director of Finance and Administration,at 970-
356-4000,extension 4218.
Very truly yours,
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Dear County Commissioners:
My Hazardous Devices Technician,Li Karl Swenson,has advised me that the Greeley Police Department
is replacing your explosive response truck with a new vehicle they have purchased. I understand that the
old truck(a 1983 Ford,F-350,yellow 1 ton,VIN number IFDIF3767DRA0553g)has mileage in excess
of 195,000 miles. In light of this,would you consider donating the truck to Colorado State University?
Donating the truck will help us to continue a mutually beneficial relationship with Weld County and the
Loveland, Greeley, Fort Collins, and CSU Police in responding to hazardous devices.
• The truck, even with its high mileage, will meet our needs because we respond to fewer incidents
annually than most agencies.
• In order to quickly respond to and backup your staff in such emergencies,my technician needs to store
equipment in a vehicle which is readily available and which can be used to transport equipment to a
scene.
• CSU recently received a surplus military explosives robot which we agreed (under terms stipulated
by the Department of Defense)to make available to the law enforcement agencies listed above. My
department does not have a vehicle heavy enough to safely tow the robot trailer, Presently, Lt.
Swenson pulls the trailer behind his personal truck. His personal vehicle is not covered under CSU
insurance policies, which concerns me.
• Acquiring this vehicle would allow CSU Police the opportunity to continue to assist the citizens in
your community as well as those in adjacent counties.
• The University will be responsible for licensing and all fees involved in transferring the ownership
of the vehicle.
If you have any reservations regarding the above or would like to mention other terms for the donation
of the truck, please contact me. Thank you for you consideration of this request,
Sincerely,
�grvLt-S�b�%
