Relationship to community goals Please describe if the project is identified in the applicants organizational budget or a jurisdictionally approved plan (e.g. capital improvement plan, equipment replacement plan, comprehensive plan, utility plan, road maintenance and improvement plan or other local or regional strategic management or planning document). (500 character limit) The Motor Pool Complex has been identified in the 2025 budget in Weld County's Capital Expenditures Fund. This fund accounts for various capital improvement projects on County property as required by Section 29-1-301, C.R.S., 1973. d. Why can't this project be funded locally? (500 character limit) Due to the timing and condition of the existing building, it is critical for the county to develop a partnership with DOLA for an opportunity to fund this very important facility improvement. Weld County is the most energy impacted county in the entire state and cannot afford to have critical equipment needed to maintain county services, such as roads, bridges, culverts, and sheriff vehicles impeded. e. Has this project been deferred because of lack of local funding? If so, how long? (500 character limit) Yes, this project was deferred until the 2024 Facilities Master Plan could be completed and enough money was saved in the Capital Fund to support the cost estimates. This is the number one project resulting from that master planning effort. f. Explain the origin and status of your local cash match (Note: Whenever possible. local government cash match is on a dollar for dollar match to the award amount.). Are the local matching funds committed or pending? If pending, when will the status of those funds shift from pending to committed? If funding is awarded and in -kind contributions are included in the project budget, detailed tracking of in -kind will be required. (500 character limit) Weld County will match the grant through the County's Capital Projects Fund. g. Community partners What other community entities, organizations, or stakeholders recognize the value of this project and are collaborating with you to achieve increased livability of the community? Please describe how you and your partners are addressing problems across multiple sectors (community, economic, housing, natural resources, etc.) through this project. (1.000 character limit) Construction of a new Motor Pool Complex is a behind the scenes support project for our community partners. This effort will help ensure Fleet can maintain county assets, so departments are able to provide high-level, reliable county services. g.1 Community outreach Describe efforts such as inclusive community outreach used by your jurisdiction to serve and engage underrepresented groups. (500 character limit) Weld County recently completed a 2024 Facilities Master Plan to develop a comprehensive approach addressing future department needs and enhancing community engagement. The plan emphasizes workplace environments, customer experiences, evaluates county services, and prioritizes the building improvements requiring a high priority, such as this project, to the most needed facilities improvements h. Tax rate, usage charges, or fees Have tax rates, user charges or fees been reviewed recently to address funding for the proposed project? Yes h.1 Tax rate or usage charge modifications If the tax rate, user charges or fees were modified, what was the modification and when did this change occur? (500 character limit) Weld County collects a capital expansion impact fee to be used on county facilities located in the unincorporated areas of the county, which typically pertain to the following county departments: Facilities, Public Works. Oil & Gas, and Planning. Unfortunately, the Motor Pool Complex is located within Greeley city limits, so these capital expansion impact fees are not applicable to this project. H. READINESS a. If awarded funds, when can the project begin? (Months) Tier I awards are made in June 2025 with contracts expected in September 2025. Tier II awards are made in July 2025 with contracts expected in October 2025. Within 3 months b. What is the time frame for project completion? 12-24 months c.

Weld County will be responsible for any budget estimate overages for this project. d.1 Is the project supported by bids, professional estimates or other credible information? Yes d.1.i Bids/estimates Please attach a copy of any supporting documents. (PDF Document) e. Are any Local, State or Federal permits required before the project can proceed? If yes, please describe and note the status of permit acquisition. (500 character limit) No, only building permits will be required for this project and Weld County has an existing IGA with the City of Greeley to perform those inspections. Therefore, no additional building permit fees will be assessed with this project. f. State or National historic registry designation Is the project on a State or National registered historic building, structure, site, or in a district? No f.1 State or National historic registry number If the project is on the State or National registry, please provide the registry number. DOLA may need to seek a determination of effect from History Colorado and the State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation.

ENERGY & MINERAL RELATIONSHIP a. Community energy or mineral impact Describe how the community is, has been, or will be impacted by the development, production, or conversion of energy and mineral resources. For example: Heavy truck traffic directly related to energy development is impacting County Road X, or there are X number of oil and gas wells, storage facilities. transfer stations, etc. in the municipal or county boundaries, or a legacy of energy extraction has resulted in environmental issues in the area. or finally, the closure of energy production facilities is impacting the community. (500 character limit) Weld County is the #1 oil and gas producing county in the State of Colorado and therefore is the most energy impacted county. There are 15.828 active wells in Weld County producing 100,507.560 barrels of oil and 776,552.001 million cubic feet (MCF) of natural gas. J. RESILIENCY CRITERIA The Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Program is required to integrate resilience criteria into the program. By bringing resiliency considerations into project planning and implementation, projects should be better poised to benefit a number of sectors (economy, health, infrastructure, etc.), minimize long-term risks, and anticipate or be better prepared to respond to changing conditions faced by Colorado communities. For clarification or further guidance on how the Resiliency Criteria can be incorporated into projects, visit the Resiliency Prioritization Criteria section of the Colorado Resiliency Playbook. The Colorado Resiliency Framework site can also be used to develop a focused approach to incorporate these measures into all, or most projects. Below, please select Yes/No for all of the criteria that can be considered to apply to your project. Project scoring for these criteria is based on whether or not the project proposes to incorporate these long-term resiliency measures into the planning, development and implementation of the project. a. Adaptive capacity Yes a.1 Adaptive capacity Briefly describe how this project includes flexible and adaptable measures that consider future unknowns of changing climate, economic, or social conditions. (500 character limit) This project is scalable to ensure flexible and adaptable construction opportunities to ensure a project delivery is on time and within budget. b. Co -benefits Yes b.1 Co -benefits Briefly describe how this project provides solutions that address problems across multiple sectors including the community. economic, health and social. housing, infrastructure, and watersheds and natural resources sectors to create maximum benefit. (500 character limit) This project is located within Greeley city limits, so it is a partnership opportunity for improving the economic, health, infrastructure, and watersheds of the North Business Park. Weld County conducts holistic project evaluations in order to achieve strategic goals and realize co -benefits criterion and support the implementation of the Colorado Resiliency Framework. c. Risk reduction Yes c.1 Risk reduction Briefly describe how this project reduces risk and vulnerability to people, infrastructure, and natural systems. (500 character limit) This project reduces the risk to existing natural ecosystems by improving the surrounding site conditions. d. Long-term and sustainable Yes d.1 Long-term and sustainable Briefly describe how this project will be able to be maintained by the community over its lifetime, reduces environmental impacts and is an investment that will last for generations. The project looks to the future and creates long-term gains for the community. (500 character limit) This project was identified as one of the top priority projects identified in the Weld County's Facilities Master Plan. The criteria used to evaluate county buildings included aging facilities, workspace capacity, replacement value, and overall utilization to ensure taxpayer dollars maximize the return on investment, while mitigating any long-term environmental impacts for future generations. e. Mitigates climate change Yes e.1 Mitigates climate change Briefly describe how the project includes renewable energy components and other solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change as much as possible and move the community or region towards 100% renewable energy. (500 character limit) This project includes construction techniques to ensure the HVAC systems mitigate the effects of climate change as much as possible. f. Socially equitable Yes f.1 Socially equitable Briefly describe how this project solution is inclusive of and addresses the needs of populations and community groups that have been or are disproportionately and negatively impacted by disasters, including social and economic shocks and stressors. The project addresses inequities, removes barriers, and benefits these populations by equitably distributing project -related benefits and providing access or meeting functional needs.(500 character limit) By improving the Motor Pool Complex it will increase capacity to allow more vehicles to be repaired indoors with approved ventilation systems rather than outdoors, which will help improve the air quality of surrounding Greeley and County residents by reducing vehicle idling. K. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND USE REGULATION PROJECTS ONLY a. Is this application for a comprehensive plan or land use regulation project? If no, proceed to Section L. No b. Affirm required elements for Comprehensive Plan The State of Colorado requires local governments to adopt Comprehensive (Master) Plans per C.R.S. 30-28-106 (for counties) and 31-23-206 (for municipalities). When funding comprehensive plans, DOLA requires that the following project components be included in the scope of work: • An inclusive community outreach and engagement plan to ensure participation from underrepresented groups. • The plan must assess and address housing needs of current and future residents at all levels of affordability. It must include locally -appropriate goals, strategies, and actions to promote affordable housing development. This work must use the best available data (e.g., State Demography Office data or a recent housing needs assessment). When it comes time to consider implementation strategies, jurisdictions may find the Strong Communities list of Land Use Best Practices helpful in this work. • Risks of natural and human -caused hazards to life, property, and public resources, and consideration of their impact to vulnerable communities. Include goals, strategies, and/or actions to address and mitigate these hazards (must identify and address all potential hazards as described in the county Hazard Mitigation Plan). Communities may find DOLAs Planning for Hazards guide helpful in this work. • In the spirit of the states goal to engage with disproportionately impacted communities (C.R.S. 24-4-109), the plan must use an environmental justice lens, particularly when it comes to the impacts of hazards, resources, and amenities to promote equitable outcomes. • The plan must address the community water supply and water quality goals. Per C.R.S. 31-23-206(1)(d) and 30-28-106(3) (a)(IV), the community must: • Consult and coordinate with local water provider(s), • Include water conservation policies, and • Identify in the plan water supplies and facilities sufficient to meet public and private infrastructure needs reasonably anticipated or identified in the planning process. Within the first six months of receiving the grant, awardees must submit a self -assessment. such as the Colorado Growing Water Smart: Community Self -Assessment. to include water supply and demand status and trends, existing water conservation and efficiency goals and policies. Consult the DOLA Land Use and Water Planner before or immediately following award for free technical assistance. • The plan must include an action plan that prioritizes actions necessary to implement the plan, creates a timeline for implementation, and assigns responsibility for actions. • And, for municipalities only, a plan for three miles outside municipal boundaries, also known as the three mile plan, per C.R.S. 31-12-105(1)(e)(I). The department strongly encourages the following: • Land use code updates: Because the land use code implements a comprehensive plan, a land use code update is strongly recommended to immediately follow a comprehensive plan update. • Policies and strategies in the comprehensive plan and land use code to plan for the community's aging demographic. • Policies and strategies to address energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and increase the use of renewable energy sources where applicable. • Intergovernmental agreement(s) (IGA) with neighboring jurisdiction(s) to cooperatively plan for areas of mutual interest (e.g., three-mile areas). In addition, the IGA will address how infrastructure will be provided or upgraded and maintained in areas of mutual interest and engage major service providers/special districts, as applicable. We agree to include the Department of Local Affairs required elements for Comprehensive (Master) Plans as identified above in addition to C.R.S. 30-28-106 (for counties) and 31-23-206 (for municipalities) in the project scope of work. b.1 If no, explain why the required elements will not be included in your project scope of work. For example, recently completed tasks or plans listed above would be incorporated into the comprehensive plan by reference. (500 character limit) L.
