PLEASE SEE THE ENCLOSED CHECK FOR YOUR BANKHEAD-JONES ALLOCATION AMOUNT PER THE LETTER
BELOW AND THE ALLOCATION FORMULA ON OTHER SIDE OF THIS LETTER.
July 14, 2025
To: All Weld County School District Superintendents
As we have advised all Weld County school districts the last seven years, in accordance with Title III of the
Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act (7 U.S.C. 1012), the USDA Forest Service is required to make payments
to counties for receipts from USDA Forest Service land from grazing fees and mineral receipts. For the first
time in 2016 Weld County received funds from oil and gas extraction payments from the Pawnee
Grasslands located in Weld County. In 2009 House Bill 09-1250 was passed that created a new
methodology to allocate the funds received from the Forest Service. Under the new allocation
methodology 25% of the funds must be used for county roads and bridges, and 25% must be allocated
to the schools in the county. The other 50% is to be allocated between the two purposes at the direction
of a committee of three County Commissioners and three school district representatives.
This year Weld County has worked with the US Forestry Service to get the Bankhead Jones Farm Tenant
Act allocation amount early but did not receive it until the end of June. Due to lower oil prices and/or
production in the Pawnee Grasslands the amount is lower than the 2024 amount of $12,625,171.30. The
amount for 2025 is $9,157,783.59.
In 2016 the mechanism and agreements with all Weld Schools Districts to allocate the funds were put in
place in accordance with HB 09-1250. The Superintendents from RE -5J, RE -9, and RE 12 were selected by
all Weld County School Districts for the ongoing committee to work with the Weld County Commissioners
to develop an allocation formula. It was the intent that the formula developed would be the ongoing
formula for the allocation process, which worked well the last six years.
The resolution approved by all Weld County school districts in 2016 calls for a meeting to review the
formula and approve the allocation amount each year. On Tuesday, July 8, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. the
committee met and approved the attached 2025 worksheets showing the amounts to be allocation to
the respective Weld County school districts for 2025. Per state law the funds are to be distributed no later
than September of each year.
If you have questions regarding this topic please do not hesitate to contact Cheryl Pattelli, Weld County
CFO, at 970-400-4451.
