and Associates, LLC: Bruce Barker, County Attorney, explained the agreement
allows for the County to give consent to Poudre Valley REA and Hunt, Guillot, and
Associates, LLC, to enter County property for land surveying purposes. He further
explained the property is a triangular tract of land located east of County Road
(CR) 15 and immediately north of CR 60, which was conveyed to the County in
1910. Mr. Barker stated, in the past 115 years, there has never been any county
business conducted on said land, but it does seem to be of interest to other entities
to conduct surveying. He noted, from the County's perspective, there is a pond
located on the property that is used privately, and the concern is, if it being used
for recreational purposes there is no governmental immunity for properties that are
recreational in nature. Commissioner Maxey moved to approve said agreement
and authorize Chair to sign. Commissioner Ross seconded the motion and further
concurred with Mr. Barker and his assessment of the property. There being no
further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.

Amendments, Within Certain Areas of Unincorporated Weld County Lying
Within Platteville-Gilcrest Fire Protection District: Mr. Barker explained, when
a fire district operates in unincorporated Weld County and wishes to update their
fire codes, they must gain consent by the County Commissioners. He indicated
staff reviewed the changes and ensured there is nothing that conflicts with the
County's building code requirements, and stated staff recommends granting the
consent to enforce the 2024 International Fire Code. In response to Commissioner
Maxey, Mr. Barker explained should the fire district uphold or enforce any code that
is in conflict with the County's Building Codes, the Board has the ability to
de -consent to enforcement of any amendments to the fire code within the
unincorporated areas of the county. Commissioner Ross shared his concerns
regarding the potential effects of future discussions regarding municipal and
County coordinated planning agreements. There being no further discussion,
