In the Matter of a Supplemental Appropriation for the Year 2024
Be It Ordained by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Weld, State of
Colorado:
Whereas, the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Weld, State of Colorado,
pursuant to Colorado statute and the Weld County Home Rule Charter, is vested with the authority
of administering the affairs of Weld County, Colorado, and
Whereas, Section 29-1-111, C.R.S., provides that if during the fiscal year the governing
board deems it necessary, in view of the needs of the various offices or departments, it may
transfer budgeted and appropriated monies from one or more spending agencies in one fund to
one or more spending agencies in another fund and/or transfer budgeted appropriated monies
between spending agencies within a fund, and
Whereas, Section 29-1-111, C.R.S., provides that if during the fiscal year the governing
body or any spending agency received unanticipated revenue or revenues not assured at the time
of the adoption of the budget from any source other than the local government's property tax mill
levy, the governing board of the local government may authorize the expenditure of these
unanticipated or unassured funds by enacting a supplementary budget and appropriation, and
Whereas, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County has been advised that
supplemental appropriations, in accordance with the above, need to be made in fiscal year 2024
in various County funds, as more fully set forth in the Exhibits attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference, and
Whereas, this is an emergency caused by a contingency which would not have been
reasonably foreseen at the time of the adoption of the 2024 Budget, and
Whereas, by Section 29-3-112, C.R.S., the governing board of a county does, in an
emergency situation, have authority for the expenditure of funds in excess of said budget, by
Ordinance duly adopted by two-thirds of the vote of the governing body; however, Section 3-14(6)
of the Weld County Home Rule Charter requires any ordinance which is declared therein to be an
emergency ordinance to be enacted by four -fifths vote of the Board.
Now, Therefore, Be It Ordained, by the Board of County Commissioners of the County
of Weld, State of Colorado, that the supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2024 in various
County funds, as more fully set forth in the attached Exhibits, which were made necessary by an
emergency caused by a contingency which could not have been reasonably foreseen at the time
of the adoption of the 2024 Budget be, and hereby are, approved.
Be It Further Ordained by the Board that an emergency exists which requires that
Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance No. 260-C be, and hereby is, declared to be an
emergency ordinance under the provision of Section 3-14 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter.
Be It Further Ordained by the Board, if any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence,
clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held or decided to be unconstitutional, such
decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions hereof. The Board of County
Commissioners hereby declares that it would have enacted this Ordinance in each and every
section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, and phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that
any one or more sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases might be
declared to be unconstitutional or invalid.
