TO: COMMISSIONER BARBARA KUtKMEYER
WELD COUNTY GOVERNMENT
GREELEY,COLORADO
Dear Blithers,
Other than complaining about taxes- the weather-the world issues in generaL...I ask for "J
your help in the following.
a) C 1ONTAMINATION: i k 96 1
1) In my fax of March 9,19893 asked about the soil and vater contamination of
the propane/oil plant at Roads#19& 4.Jeff Stoll did cell-back and the Weld
County Health Dept.never called-back with their find' ags.
Now...again I ask what is really happening at that site. the}towards tell me
there is surface and ground water contamination wb at is the real story?
2) Recently Public Service has put-on-line a large compressor at Roads#19&4.
When the compressor is ranning....it is creating a ground vibration and
resonance that creates a "oil-canning" affect inside our house, rattling walls
and cupboards at Grenemeyers and I'm sure others close-by.
I've placed a call-back to Jeff Stoll of the EPA what rights do we have
in making Public Service correct this "un-livable" situation?
b) ROAD SPRAYING:
1) Also on March 9, 1998,I asked that "special"consideration for those who
see fit to spray dust control on country roads be cancelled. I again ask that
this be done as the slimey-slurpy-slippery and"dangerous"condition of
7 Road 21 @ 2 is totally out-of-controL We are now driving 3-miles "around"
! C this section of road and as now,in the Winter....snow does not melt and when
1,G it does,it melts and freezes as ice....a very"Dangerous" con ' ': e County
1,k. has created and allowed to exist. Please.....Please blade settle as you
111 would any-other"wash-board" 4th-lass road and - ind ht to
spray!

COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION NOTES: WEEK OF FEBRUARY 8, 1999
Commissioners Hall, Kirkmeyer, Baxter, Geile, and Vaad
Staff: Vicky Sprague
Court Child Care Center: Don Warden, Judy Griego, Pat Persichino
The board received a letter from Judge Lowenbach asking that Mike Geile serve as
the commissioners' representative on a committee studying a child care center for
the courthouse. Before approving the request, the board decided to request a
meeting with Chief Judge William West and Court Administrator Mary Bohlender.
They want to discuss the following two issues: 1) space allocation and location
of the proposed center and, 2) the responsibility for operational costs.
Dust Control Road Spraying on Weld County Road 21: Frank Hempen, Dave Becker,
John Pickle, Jeff Stoll, Bruce Barker
The board received a letter from Larry Johnson regarding road spraying for dust
control on Weld County Road 21. Public Works submitted a draft response for
board approval, but the commissioners requested staff to rewrite the letter. The
letter should not state that it is the prerogative of the local residents to
provide dust control but that the county permits it only on roads with sufficient
average daily traffic counts. It should not infer that the county expects the
road to become a safety hazard once dust control is applied. The letter should
assure people that the road will be graded as soon as necessary. Public Works
also needs to provide an information sheet to those people applying dust control.
The sheet should explain the county's policy on grading the road following the
application. When the county determines the road is getting close to needing to
be graded, the applier will be advised ahead of time.
