This contractor is currently a Weld County employee. She is leaving the county, but I found out today that she has been asked and approved by leadership to remain working for the County for one additional month. Therefore, we cannot enter into a contract with her until so is no longer a county employee. The attached page corrects the start date of her agreement. Thank you for your help!
