James, Chair 2022-3179 PL0824 TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Matt Conroy, Assistant County Attorney DATE: November 9, 2022 SUBJECT: Special Assessment Certifications for Zoning and Building Violations. As you know, we periodically request your certification of certain civil penalties as special assessments to be collected along with property taxes. All these requests are based upon orders issued from the Weld County Court after internal review by the Department of Planning Services and the County Attorney's Office. In most cases, the property owner admits that there is a violation of the Weld County Code, agrees to pay an initial fine, and also agrees to a plan with deadlines to fix the issue. This plan becomes an order of the court. Even after the deadlines pass, staff works with property owners who are making good faith efforts to fix the problem and does not ask the court to enforce the agreement by entering a daily penalty order. If the deadlines pass and no significant progress is made, then the County Attorney asks the court for a hearing where we prove that the violation still exists, and the property owner hasn't done what they agreed to do. In other cases, the daily penalty was ordered after the County proved the violation to the court at trial, or the property owner refused to engage with the court process and a default judgement was issued. Once the property owner fixes the problem and has paid the initial fine, Planning Services closes the violation, and the County Attorney files a motion with the court to waive any penalties not certified to the Treasurer and dismiss the case. Per Weld County Code section 23-10-40(A), any penalties not paid within 30 days may be certified to the County Treasurer as a special assessment. As such, all requested certifications are for the period from either the date of the court order or the last certification through October 9, 2022. Hearings Scheduled for 11/9/22 The first four cases we have today have never been certified by the Board as a special assessment, though the first has come before the Board several times in the past.

As you know, the County Court found your property to be in violation of the Weld County Code. On March 18, 2022, the Court granted the County's Motion to Impose Daily Penalties, finding that your property was in violation of the Weld County Code, and ordered you to pay a daily penalty of $40.00 per day beginning on March 7, 2022, and continuing until the zoning violation is removed from the property. (Court Order attached). Upon information and belief, the zoning violation still exists on your property. At a public hearine on November 14.2022 at 9:00 a.m. the Weld County Board of County Commissioners will determine whether to certify the continuing daily penalties against your property which have continued to accrue. The hearing will be held at the Weld County Administration Building at 1150 "O" Street, Greeley, CO 80631. The hearing will address the penalties for the period from May 23, 2022, through October 9, 2022. This period totals 140 days and amounts to $5,600.00. Please note that the daily penalty will continue to accrue until the property is brought into compliance with the Weld County Code. The total request at the hearing will be $5.600. Such lien will have priority over all other security interests, except for taxes. In addition to the $5,600.00, the Weld County Treasurer's fee may increase the lien as permitted by law. You may avoid this hearing and the Treasurer's fee by paying the full amount to Weld County prior to the hearing. Alternatively, arrangements may be made by contacting Bethany Pascoe at (970) 400-3555. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
