Thank you to the Weld County Commissioners for seeing that our tax dollars are meant for the people that live here legally, not for people who come here illegally. It gives me faith that you all see the major issues of paying the way for illegals - it is a road that's hard to get off of once it starts and I for one am very happy that it won't be done in Weld County. Thanks for having the taxpayers back and making sure the money isn't spent frivolously! I applaud all that voted not to make Weld County a sanctuary County! You are doing the right thing.

Dear Weld County, I used to live in weld county and we call the location your banning the Spanish colony which is 23ave and O street. I believe that giving migrants workers a place to live would the right thing to do since there was a place for them in the being. I believe that these migrants workers can reduce air pollution by getting into the bean, potatoe, onion fields and working for their food and shelter. It cost more to run and buy a tractor then it would be just to put them to work. I motion for reconsideration of the migrants shelter and ask the county to buy farm land and place the workers under county supervision. https://kdvr.com/newsf local/weld-county-commissioners-ban-use-of-county-funds-for-migrant- sheltering/ 1 Che I Hoffman From: Sent: To: Subject: Chloe White Tuesday, April 30, 2024 8:34 AM KEITH HANSON; CTB RE: Banning Funds from Supporting Illegal Aliens Good morning, Your comments have been received and will be added as an exhibit to the Ordinance.

County funds should only be used for purposes of protecting and assisting county residents. Illegal aliens do not belong here and therefore, should not get one cent spent on them. Usually, government officials cave to the whiners and igr ore the silent majority. Thank you again for making the right decision.

I wanted to voice my support for the ordinance the commissioners just passed that is against providing emergency sheltering for illegal aliens. I see in the article from Fox News that it prevents using tax funds for housing, transportation or meals. I applaud this vote and I pray it goes into effect quickly. As you know, there are laws that provide a legal path to citizenship for migrants. I welcome anyone coming to the USA who does so legally. For those individuals, emergency taxpayer funds should be available because they have legally become our neighbors. For folks who have, in their first act entering the USA, broken the law, they should not receive 1 taxpayer funds and must be deported I know deportation is not a county role but if they cannot get their money, illegals will go elsewhere - You can ignore what Sonny Subia from the League of United Latin American Citizens had to say Illegals ARE wanting government money so they can live a lavish life without having to work Sanctuary cities around the nation are seeing this and it has been clearly reported on the news They want their handouts and don't want to work for them In opposition of Subia, I don't believe this ordinance will reduce our workforce because there are plenty of legal migrants (aka US citizens) that fill those roles Legal migrants, who understand how things work, will applaud your actions and come to Weld County to fill the roles illegals vacate I would also encourage you to join the lawsuit filed by Douglas and El Paso counties Allowing our law enforcement to work with ICE to get illegals out of Weld County sends another clear measure that we want only law abiding citizens as our neighbors Thank you for standing against "sanctuary" status and sending a clear message that criminals are not welcome in Weld County Jim Powers 2 CI Hoffman From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Public Comment Thursday, May 2, 2024 8:02 AM Scott Nemeth; Public Comment Esther Gesick; Cheryl Hoffman; Jessica Reid RE: Ban use of county funds for migrant sheltering Good morning, Your comments have been received and will be added as an exhibit to the Ordinance.

Illegal aliens have been a problem in this country for more than five decades. I came here to support Colorado's growing aerospace industry. If we become a sanctuary county, I will leave this state for good. As a resident of Weld county in Firestone, I ask for this ban to become a permanent law.

Re: Weld County ordinance would prevent taxpayer funds to assist illegal immigrants Interesting: weld county along with the towns within tout on high christianity and self righteousness. Yet they intentionally and publicly support and display their hate and intolerance with absolute pride! Also if anyone is truly familiar with 'weld county' you would understand; No you would 'know' the entire county is dependent on folks whose first language is Not english. The folks that weld county as well as the state count on to do the work that most `mercans' run from are Not your children! They are the `others' that you and your god so despise. Weld counties `mercan' exceptionalism and its hate —at its finest on full display for the world to see...Makes one proud does it Not? 2 From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Public Comment Monday, May 6, 2024 12:18 PM Melody Hartmann; Public Comment Esther Gesick; Cheryl Hoffman; Jessica Reid RE: Sanctuary City Measure Good afternoon, Your comments have been received and will be added as an exhibit to the Ordinance.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To Whom it May Concern, I read recently in the Tribune that you are seeking input from the local community about a measure being proposed to keep Greeley from becoming a sanctuary city. I'd like to offer my opinion as an eleven year resident. I wholeheartedly agree with this measure. We've been able to see first hand across the nation how the massive influx of illegal aliens has affected cities. It has not been good. Chicago and New York city, both multiple times larger than we are, straining under the unending financial burdens. I think it is too often forgotten that two things that seemingly contradict eachother can be true at the same time; compassion and justice seem odd bed fellows. I have great sympathy for those who, out of desperation, illegally enter the country. All those dangerous miles they must have trod. And yet, I do not ignore the fact that they've broken the 1 laws of the very nation they hope to reside in Simply living on American soil is not citizenship, nor is it a reason to financially obligate its' legal residents to an illegal aliens long-term care Yes, there will still be those who get in under the radar, and as we are able we should deport them, but if we open the floodgates with a hearty welcome, I believe we will end up ruing the day we did so Something my father-in-law taught my husband, and in turn we our sons, seems to fit the bill "A lack of planning on your part, does not constitute a crisis on mine " In essence, the responsiblity for breaking the law, the fear of being caught, and how to survive till then, isn't my problem I am not personally responsible for their actions, nor the consequences that result from them Greeley's bigger focus should be on its own legal homeless, especially if they are' veterans, not those who snuck across the border _ Thank you for your time Melody Hartmann 2 ORDINANCE NO. 2024434' IN THE MATTER OF REPEALING AND REENACTING, WITH AMENDMENTS, CHAPTER 5 REVENUE AND FINANCE, OF THE WELD COUNTY CODE 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, the Board of County Commissioners, on December 28, 2000, adopted Weld County Code Ordnance 2000-1, enacting a comprehensive Code for the County of Weld, including the codification of all previously adopted ordinances of a general and permanent nature enacted on or before said date of adoption, and WHEREAS, the "Sanctuary Cities Fact Sheet" found on the website of the Center for Immigration Studies (Map: Sanctuary Cities, Counties, and States (cis.orq)) list Weld County, Colorado, as a "Sanctuary County," which, according to the website, accuses Weld County of "shielding aliens in the United States in violation of law from the reach of federal immigration officers," and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners emphatically states that such accusations are false and without merit, and WHEREAS, to that end, the Board of County Commissioners believes that Chapter 5, Revenue and Finance, of the Weld County Code needs revision to clearly state the Board's policy and intent to not appropriate monies from Weld County's General Fund, Capital Expenditure Fund, special revenue funds, or proprietary funds for the specified purpose of providing emergency sheltering of illegal aliens within Weld County.

This prohibition includes the appropriation of monies from the funds listed above for the 2024-1030 ORDINANCE NO. 2024-04 PAGE 2 specified purpose of purchasing property for providing emergency sheltering of illegal aliens.
