20453 WCR 54
GREELEY CO 80631
Ms. Elam and Mr. Harris:
This letter is to provide you with entice of Weld County's intent to certify certain liens on your property to the
Weld County Treasurer. As you know, the County Court found your property to be in violation of the Weld County
Code.
On August 7, 2017, the Court granted the County's Motion to Impose Daily penalties on your property located at
20453 Weld Country Road 54, Greeley, Colorado. The Court found that your property was in violation of the Weld
County Code and ordered you to pay daily penalties in the amount of $20.00 per day, continuing until the zoning
violations are removed. (Court Order attached). Upon information and belief, the zoning violations still exists on
this property. On August 8, 2018, the Weld County Board of County Commissioners certified daily penalties in the
amount of $3,620.00. On June 19, 2019, the Weld County Board of County Commissioners certified daily penalties
in the amount of $6,680.00. On January 20, 2020, the Weld County Board of County Commissioners certified daily
penalties in the amount of $4,280.00. On November 16, 2020, the Weld County Board of County Commissioners
certified daily penalties in the amount of $5,480.00.
At a public hearing on July 7.2021 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 "0" Street, Greeley, CO 80632. The
hearing will address the penalties for the period between October 1, 2020 and May 31, 2021. This period totals
243 days and amounts to $4,860.00. 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 $4,860.00. This lien together with liens from prior years, will have priority
over all other security interests, except for taxes. In addition to the $4,880.00, 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.
Alternative arrangements may be made by contacting Bethany Pascoe at (970) 400-3555. Please feel free to
contact me with any questions.

RE Zoning Violation Certification Resolutions
I apologize, my prior email was trying to convey that we do not need to correct the resolutions with the typo because
the error was unrelated to the actual dates and amounts we were certifying in those particular resolutions and the
timeframe was previously recorded correctly years prior

Good morning,
Thank you for double checking, You are correct with the 2020-0256 and 2020-3381 Reso's not being
affected, I had tired eyes I suppose To clarify, I have made the correction on the Reso that I have
outline for June 22, 2022, so moving forward that is no longer an issue Also, for consistency
purposes, I was using 2021-3209 as a sample to outline this upcoming certification, but that is good
information to know for future reference We would like to know what steps do we take to correct
those prior recorded Resolutions? Do we fix the typo with a corrected/ amended Reso and send out
1
for signing and then re- record, or do we pull the original signed Reso's, fix the typo and re-record'?
Please advise on how to best go about this, thanks?

Subject. RE Zoning Violation Certification Resolutions
Hi Houston,
I don't see that issue in 2020-0256 and 2020-3381 Is there a different issue with those ones'?
It looks like 20213209 is incorrect as well but it looks like the dollar amounts are all correct and the
typographical error is only related to the date of a prior certification that had a correct resolution
previously recorded Is that right'? If the error was with the new dates and timeframes we were
certifying in the resolution then I would be more concerned and we would need to rectify that That
doesn't appear to be the case here Does that make sense'?
We absolutely want to make sure its correct going forward but as long as the error is not with the new
timeframe we are certifying in a particular resolution and we previously recorded an accurate
certification for the timeframe in question then we can just correct it in the future However, we don't
have to list out every single time we have certified penalties for a property in the next resolution we
can just say the last time we certified penalties Look to the 2019 and 2020 resolutions on this case
and you will see what I mean
Please let me know if you have questions or want to discuss further

Subject: Zoning Violation Certification Resolutions
Hey gals,
I was getting the reso's outlined with the list of cases that will be presented here in a few weeks and I came
across four different resolutions that have been recorded that have an incorrect date on them and need
guidance as to what we need to do to correct them'?
The Correct Reso is in Tyler as 2019-2329 for Donald Harris and Christina Elam with the date ranges to be
certified of July 2 , 2018 through May 31, 2019
All the Incorrect Reso's are in Tyler as 2020-0256, 2020-3381, 2021-1664, and 2021-1766 (These say July 2,
2021)
What are the implications these resolutions have as far as the Courts and Treasure's Office are concerned'?
Can we address this in the New Resolution to be presented, since this one will supersede these older ones'?
Do we need to Correct them and re-record them'?
Thanks for all your guidance concerning this matter,
