PUBLIC WORKS FUND SUMMARY
The Public Works Fund records all costs related to Weld County road and bridge construction
and maintenance. This fund is also utilized for allocation of monies to cities and towns for use in
their road and street activities. The resources for 2021 total $146,817,500 which includes a fund
balance of $86,250,000, in addition to the revenue shown in the budget. Property tax is set at
$20,000,000, down $4,000,000 from 2020. Specific Ownership tax is estimated to be the same at
$11,300,000. Total HUTF will be $10,500,000, down $500,000 from 2020. Permit revenues are
budgeted at $500,000, down $125,000. Motor vehicle registration fees are $350,000, down
$20,000 from 2020, and grazing fees are $300,000, down $200,000. Oil and gas revenues are
$6,650,000, down $2,850,000 due to the reduction in drilling from the regulatory climate in
Colorado, as well as the economic downturn resulting from COVID-19. There is $1,787,500 from
the Solid Waste Fund, including $1,000,000 for paving of impacted roads and the County's
proportional share of the 18th/Market Street paving project at $787,500.
Federal mineral lease revenues are $1,000,000 due to the creation of the Weld County Federal
Mineral Lease District. The federal mineral lease revenue will flow through the district and then
Public Works will apply to the district for funding of projects. In 2021, the district is funding
$1,000,000 in oil and gas haul route projects. PILT is budgeted at $80,000 with no change from
last year.
Other revenues from project reimbursements total $4,300,000 from the Transportation Impact
Fees. Revenue from the Energy Impact Assistance grants decreased by half and totals
$1,200,000. There is a State grant for Bridge 19/46.5A for $500,000 and $600,000 in HISP funds
for the traffic signal at CR 47. Severance tax is $1,500,000, and in accordance with policy adopted
by the Board of County Commissioners in 2010, the severance tax revenue is budgeted at a five
year leveling average due to the fluctuations of the revenue created by the price and production
levels of oil and gas commodities.
The budgeted appropriations for Public Works in 2021 total $68,906,158 and are up $3,558,050
primarily due to larger design and construction projects funded in 2021. Municipal share back is
funded at $3,336,195. With the economic downturn and record high unemployment resulting from
COVID-19, there is no cost of living adjustment recommended for 2021, and salaries will be
adjusted down $35,992 to correct an overestimated amount budgeted for insurance expenses
from 2020.
The Other Public Works budget unit is budgeted at $25,688,670 based on the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). This is a total increase of $3,243,693 from 2020. Personnel decreased
$159,207 due to: $140,230 for a decrease of seasonal staff by four in relation to the two new FTE
added to the Gravel Road (Org 32200) division, Overtime decreased $7,000, and benefits
decrease $11,977. Purchased Services increased $3,402,900 overall. Utilities increased $5,472
to cover the electricity of a traffic signal, sixteen new streetlights at the CR 54 and 17 Roundabout,
and the eleven Weather Stations. Contract Payments increased $7,139,236 due to the cost of the
construction of intersection CR 41/66 ($3,000,000) and connector CR 80/37 ($3,777,836) but is
offset by a decrease of $3,741,808 due to the changes in road projects for the year.
Under Other Public Works, Strategic Roads was renamed Infrastructure Projects and for 2021
includes: 'O' Street/35th Avenue Roundabout Construction at $4,280,669; CR 66/41 Intersection
Construction with 2021 costs of $2,200,000; Hokestra Trail Construction cost of $80,000;
CR33/74 Roundabout Joint Project with CDOT, CMAQ, and Town of Eaton for Right -of -Way and
Utilities Relocation at a cost of $750,000; CR 47/State Highway 392 Traffic Signal Construction -
joint project with CDOT at a cost of $600,000; and the County's proportional share of the 18th
Street/Market Street Intersection Improvement Project at a cost of $787,500 (the Solid Waste
298
Fund will cover this cost as this project is needed due to the haul route of a nearby solid waste
facility). The Haul Route Program (HARP) is budgeted at $3,000,000, and $200,000 for the
maintenance of the County Highway. Fixed Charges saw no change. Grants and Donations
stayed at $600,000 for costs related to the construction of Bridge 19/46.5A, which is a project in
conjunction with CDOT.
The other significant changes for 2021 in the Public Works Fund include increases in the Bridge
Construction and Maintenance Support units. Supplies increased overall by $251,499 in Bridge
Construction for the cost of supplies, and Contract Payments increased by $140,000 due to the
addition of Dewatering/Watering Filtration services required by Water Discharge Permits for short-
term projects. Vehicle Expense increased $39,125 to adjust for gallons of fuel as well. For
Maintenance Support, Road Construction Supplies were up $304,800 for increased quantities
and costs of snow removal materials due to County Road 49 operations, and Cost of Goods Sold
increased $16,500 due to an increase in prices and quantities of striping paint.
While the growth in the County's assessed value and economic stimulus of the energy industry in
Weld County has been positive in recent years, the downside is the County has had to add
significant resources to the Public Works budget to accommodate heavy hauling traffic, address
safety issues, and improve roads impacted by the oil and gas industry's heavy hauling on county
roads due to new exploration and population growth. A five-year Public Works Capital
Improvement Plan will continue to be updated annually and will ensure a fair and reasonable
determination of project priorities in accordance with the County's overall transportation needs,
especially in dealing with the impact of energy development and population growth in the County.
As oil and gas prices and production stabilizes, looking forward to 2021 and beyond, the amount
spent on capital projects should also be stable.
The 2021 Public Works Capital Improvements Plan is available on the County web site at
http://www.co.weld.co.us/departments/public works/index.html.

CONCERNING LOCAL
ACCOUNTABILITY
FOR MONEY USED
FOR HIGHWAY PURPOSES
In accordance with Section 29-1-110, C.R.S., 1973, at a public hearing on the budget, Weld
County must discuss the proposed use of its allocation of highway users tax fund monies and the
County Public Works Fund and provide an opportunity for any elector to be heard on the
expenditure of such monies for the current year and for the fiscal year governed by the proposed
budget.
The proposed use of the 2021 allocation of highway user tax fund monies and county road and
bridge fund are as follows:
Gravel Road Management

$ 8,305,044

CONSTRUCTION BIDDING FOR
STATE -FUNDED LOCAL PROJECTS
In accordance with Sections 29-1-701 through 707, C.R.S., as amended, cities or counties of
30,000 persons or more are required to bid projects over $150,000. Local governments are
required to bid competitively among private contractors for projects using Highway Users Tax
Fund money (state funded projects) and are prohibited from dividing projects into two or more
projects to evade provisions of the act.
"State -funded public project" means any construction, alteration, repair, demolition, or
improvement by any agency of local government of any land, structure, facility, road, highway,
bridge, or other public improvement suitable for and intended for use in the promotion of the public
health, welfare, or safety and any defined maintenance project which is funded in whole, or in
part, from the highway users tax fund and which may be reasonably expected to exceed $150,000
in the aggregate for any fiscal year.
"Defined maintenance project" means any project that involves a significant reconstruction,
alteration, or improvement of any existing road, highway, bridge, structure, facility, or other public
improvement, including, but not limited to, repairing or seal coating of roads or highways or major
internal or external reconstruction or alteration of existing structures. "Defined maintenance
project" does not include routine maintenance activities such as snow removal, minor surface
repair of roads or highways, cleaning of ditches, regrading of unsurfaced roads, repainting,
replacement of floor coverings, or minor reconstruction or alteration of existing structures.
Based upon the above definitions, Weld County's Public Works 2020 budget would be allocated
as follows by the above categories:
TOTAL HUTF STATE LOCAL/OTHER

Contract 21,008,477 0 21,008,477
TOTAL $68,906,158 $10,500,000 $58,406,158
Based upon the above allocation, Weld County is not required to competitively bid any service.
However, it is anticipated that Weld County will bid out $3,100,000 in asphalt purchases and
contracts for overlays and reconstruction, chip and seal of $1,000,000, and $2,899,000 in surface
gravel for a total of $6,999,000 in bid projects for 2021. A major portion of the $21,008,477 may
also be contracted, which raises the potential bid project amount to $28,007,477. Maintenance of
effort requirement was eliminated by the 1994 State Legislature, effective with the 1995 budget;
therefore, it is not demonstrated in this budget document.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The resources for 2021 total $146,817,500 which includes a fund
balance of $86,250,000, in addition to the revenue shown in the budget. Property tax is set at
$20,000,000, down $4,000,000 from 2020. Specific Ownership tax is estimated to be the same at
$11,300,000. Total HUTF will be $10,500,000, down $500,000 from 2020. Permit revenues are
budgeted at $500,000, down $125,000. Motor vehicle registration fees are $350,000, down
$20,000 from 2020, and grazing fees are $300,000, down $200,000. Oil and gas revenues are
$6,650,000, down $2,850,000 due to the reduction in drilling from the regulatory climate in
Colorado, as well as the economic downturn resulting from COVID-19. There is $1,787,500 from
Solid Waste Fund, for paving of impacted roads at $1,000,000 and the County's proportional
share of the 18th/Market Street paving project at $787,500.
Federal mineral lease revenues are $1,000,000 due to the creation of the Weld County Federal
Mineral Lease District. The federal mineral lease revenue will flow through the district and then
Public Works will apply to the district for funding of projects. In 2021, the district is funding
$1,000,000 in oil and gas haul route projects. PILT is budgeted at $80,000 with no change from
last year.
Other revenues from project reimbursements total $4,300,000 from the Transportation Impact
Fees. Revenue from the Energy Impact Assistance grants decreased by half totaling $1,200,000.
There is a State grant for Bridge 19/46.5A for $500,000 and $600,000 in HISP funds for the traffic
signal at CR 47. Severance tax is $1,500,000, and in accordance with policy adopted by the Board
of County Commissioners in 2010, the severance tax revenue is budgeted at a five-year leveling
average due to the fluctuations of the revenue created by the price and production levels of oil
and gas commodities.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval.
BOARD ACTION: Approved as recommended.

SOCIAL SERVICES FUND SUMMARY
The total Social Services Fund budget is $45,887,094. The programs are funded by property tax
of $12,226,460, state and federal funds of $33,660,634, and the potential use of fund balance to
cover both anticipated and unanticipated cost overruns.
As with businesses and organizations around the world, 2020 has presented the Department with
unique challenges, unlike any we have encountered previously. The economic downturn created
by the COVID-19 lockdown of business operations and the pressures placed upon the oil and gas
industry, both globally and locally, has caused many residents of the county who previously
experienced income security to require assistance, both for meeting basic needs and for locating
and being trained for employment. At the same time, funding for the administration from the State
level has been reduced for State Fiscal year 2020-2021, due to many of the same economic
events.
In order to meet these needs, the Department has taken measures to expedite verification of
eligibility of applicants for programs and continues to work with local industry representatives to
identify employment opportunities. Likewise, the way in which services are delivered to the senior
adult population, which is directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, have been modified.
Despite the increased difficulties in delivering meals to these residents created by social
distancing directives, practices have been modified in order to increase provision of these
resources.
The Family Resource Division has taken a lead role in coordinating the resources available to
address the needs of Weld County residents in instances where those needs may not be fully
addressed through traditional assistance programs. The department has provided shelter,
transportation, utility and other assistance to individuals who demonstrate the ability to meet these
needs in the future but present an immediate need due to circumstances beyond their control,
such as the economic downturn.
Assisting parents in identifying and affording day care continues to be a high priority. At the height
of the COVID-19-related lockdown, the department took measures to assist parents and providers
with temporary measures that reduced the impact of the downturn. As the lockdown eases, the
department will return to ongoing policies regarding this assistance. Efforts have increased
towards recruiting, training, and certifying new providers of these services, along with similar
efforts to increase the availability of foster care providers in the county, so that children in need
of such services can be kept closer to home and in a loving home -like environment.
The efforts to reduce congregate care placements of children and youth have been very
successful, both in reducing the cost of the Child Welfare program and providing a more nurturing
environment for those in out -of -home placement. Placement of children in kinship settings has
replaced more restrictive settings as the initial focus when presented with a need for placement.
This prepares the department well for the impending implementation of the Family First
Prevention Services Act. While 2021 will continue to present challenges which may stretch
capacity, both fiscally and organizationally, the department is in a good position to meet those
challenges and connect Weld County residents to the resources needed to thrive.

Administration: Costs associated with administration include compensation for direct services
through caseworkers, technicians and support staff. In addition, overhead such as rent, utilities,
travel, supplies, and equipment are funded through administrative allocations. The State
establishes administrative allocations and reimburses at various rates depending on the type of
expenditure and program. Expenditures greater than allocation are not guaranteed to be
reimbursed. Generally, they are at least partially reimbursed through the use of transferred TANF
funds, surplus distribution, or Federal pass-thru revenues.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The state-wide appropriation for the County Administration functions
continues to be under -funded, significantly. Despite escaping the 1% Provider Rate Reduction
imposed on most appropriations, increased workload related to the COVID-19-related economic
downturn will likely increase the under -funding amount from its current $20 million total to
approximately $25 million. Although we have remained relatively lean in staffing the Medicaid and
Food Assistance eligibility programs, we will likely continue in being under -funded by $2 million -
$3 million in 2021.
Department is requesting an upgrade of a Community Outreach Manager from Grade 40 to 44 to
be in parity with other like positions.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval, including the

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The Employment First (Food Stamp Job Search) program continues
to be placed in a state of change. The State of Colorado has mandated that all counties operate
a voluntary program. We are concerned this will significantly reduce the Workfare Incentives we
have historically relied upon to complete the funding of the program. We will continue to monitor
whether the new Federal requirements jeopardize our ability to continue doing so with existing
funding.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: COVID-19-related restrictions caused the temporary closure of
numerous child care providers in Weld County, as well as a temporary decrease in need for such
services. As the economy in Weld County re -opens, we anticipate that more families will need
these services and be less able to afford them, without assistance. We have made numerous
policy adjustments to mitigate the impact on providers and will continue to examine whether
permanent adjustments are necessary in order to maintain this necessary resource.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The Child Welfare Division was awarded funding through the Federal
Prevention and Intervention funding to help support the majority of the IV -E Waiver interventions.
From the onset of the IV -E Waiver program, the Division has prioritized placing children with their
kin, tripling kinship placements over the past seven years, and bringing families' voices into the
case planning process through family team meetings. These changes have resulted in fewer
placements and additional services to families, so that more children are able to stay safely at
home or with kin. Referrals increased by 9% and assessments increased by 3% in 2019.
Placements increased by 5% in 2019. So far, we have a 15% decrease in assessments in 2020,
likely due to the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown. Weld County's allocation of funding has
decreased significantly over the last four years. At the same time our caseloads have increased,
which has added to the difficulty of providing increased services while remaining within our
allocation. SB 18-254 has significantly increased the rates at which foster care providers are
reimbursed for their services and limits our ability to negotiate those rates. The Department's
recruitment of family -based foster homes has continued to be highly successful, as we have
increased the availability of family foster homes by almost 7% from 2019 to 2020.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: All positions and available funding streams were strategically
analyzed to determine the best utilization of the positions and the funds to meet increased
caseloads and maintain the goals of safety, permanency and well-being for the children and
families who are served. Due to the high caseloads in Permanency, three positions were moved
from other areas to child protection permanency. Prevention/intervention funds were utilized to
fund positions in order to preserve limited Core funding, and kinship staff was moved from Child
Welfare funded positions to TANF funded positions. The prevention/intervention funds are no
longer available as of July 1, 2020, and those staff will be funded through Core funding going
forward.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval.
BOARD ACTION: Approved as recommended.

Department of Public Health & Environment
2021 Summary
Each day the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment provides for the health,
safety and welfare of Weld County citizens through the seven core public health services
established by the State Board of Health. Our organizational culture is built around providing high -
quality, cost-efficient, and readily accessible services to residents and businesses in Weld
County. The Health Department strives to be a recognized leader in the state by driving initiatives
that enhance and strengthen our community and positively impact the lives of the citizens we
serve.

AND RESPONSE PROMOTION
Looking toward the future, the department is in the process of developing a new three-year
strategic plan that will clearly define the organization's direction and provide our many
stakeholders the ability to visualize where we are going, how we are going to get there and how
the plan will affect everyone. More importantly it will align organizational priorities with our mission
and vision and provide a mechanism to evaluate, redirect programs, initiatives and services, if
necessary, and improve performance, efficiency and accountability.
The Department's 2021 proposed budget is $12,453,704 with a net county cost of $5,708,281.
The Department's available funding is allocated among the Department's five divisions;
Administration [including Vital Records], Environmental Health Services, Health Education,
Communication and Planning, Community Health Services [including Public Health Emergency
Preparedness and Response] and Public Health Clinical Services.
Budgetary goals for 2021 emphasize controlling costs and meeting budget targets amid high
uncertainty while ensuring adequate resources will be available to efficiently and effectively
provide core functions and deliver essential services to the continually increasing number of
residents and businesses in Weld County. The department's budget request anticipates the
unprecedented financial and operational challenges we are facing due to the coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. It also reflects an acute awareness of the increased need for
reallocations and savings while supporting Weld County's priorities of transparency,
accountability, and legitimacy as we deliver superior public health services to the citizens of Weld
County.
368
Highlights of changes in the 2021 budget include:
• Revenue. At this time, revenues across the department are projected to decrease by less
than 1% in 2021. The overall outcome department -wide is a small net decrease, with
revenue shifting from one source to another among and within the divisions. Again, we
are predicting slight increases in fee income generated from vital records issuance.
Revenue is expected to decrease in environmental health services in the retail food
establishment program primarily due to reductions in revenue from assessed civil
penalties as a result of new legislation that changed the enforcement process in 2020.
There have also been retail food establishment closures in 2020 due to COVID-19 that
will likely reduce revenue from retail food licenses. Revenue from septic permits is
expected to decline as we anticipate that development will slow down due to COVID-19
and its associated economic impacts. At the time this budget is being developed, our
revenue for health education and clinical services is projected to increase due to federal
and state grant revenue increases in contracted programs. We also anticipate seeing
increased immunization revenues in our clinic when a viable COVID-19 vaccine is
developed and approved for distribution in the United States, hopefully in early 2021. Due
to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 response, the department may ultimately see grant
funding decrease as federal and state budget shortfalls are determined and program cuts
are made, but we have not received any guidance as to how deep those cuts may be. As
such, we are very likely to see additional reductions in department revenue materialize in
2020 and 2021, causing budgeting during the crisis to become a continuous reactive
process.
• Personnel Services. A decrease of a half percent (0.52%) is projected for 2021 personnel
costs. This is the net result of relatively small increases in salaries and fringe attributable
to scheduled step increases in 2021, which is offset by the reduction of 3.475 FTE primarily
due to the loss of a long-time program in the Department, Healthy Communities (with 3.0
FTE), as part of state spending cuts implemented in 2020. Key projections for the changing
workload and reallocation of personnel resources in the coming year are factored into this
budget, anticipating the need to hire educated and trained epidemiologists, contact
tracers, case investigators and other health support personnel to directly assist with the
COVID-19 response as we migrate through the pandemic's response, mitigation and
recovery stages.
• Supplies & Purchased Services. Pursuant to the directive to maintain a flat budget, our
total projected supplies and purchased services expenditures are increasing by an
extremely modest 1.56%. As we endeavor for fiscal constraint while striving for an agile
and responsive budget to sustain uncertain spending needs, careful analysis of historical
spending and future needs allows us to recategorize expenditures, shifting spending as
we plan for increases in one area and budget reductions in other areas.
• Equipment (Small and Capitalized). In 2021, the department's small and capitalized
equipment costs will increase only incrementally as we work toward implementing a more
formal replacement schedule for equipment that becomes worn and outdated.
• Contra -Expenditures. The department is projecting a decrease of 8.72% in contra -
expenditures in 2021. This is due to the reduction of expenditures (primarily personnel
costs) in the Weld County Oil and Gas program.
369
As always, the department takes a conservative budgeting approach with a goal of long-term
fiscal discipline and sustainability that will better serve our constituents. This strategy continues
to allow us to provide and maintain essential support services and give the residents of Weld
County a healthy community in which every resident enjoys the best possible state of health and
well-being.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES:
PERSONNEL SERVICES: There is a $94,937 (-7.18%) projected decrease in costs for 2021.
This decrease is attributable to the decrease of 2.0 FTE as personnel needs are re-evaluated and
staff shifts into other divisions to provide support to those teams.
SUPPLIES & PURCHASED SERVICES: Costs are shifting upward by $96,437 total with an
anticipated increase in expenditures due to reaccreditation fees that will be paid in 2021, the
planned hiring of consultants to assist with implementation of new strategic objectives and the
implementation of a document management software for the department in 2021.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES: In 2021, an update to the Board of Health recording equipment is
expected and the equipment may qualify as a capital expenditure.
CONTRA EXPENDITURES: There will be no increase that will be reallocated to the divisions of
the Health Department.
REVENUE: The birth and death certificate issuance volume is anticipated to increase slightly in
2021, with revenue projected at $194,000, an increase of less than 1%.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: PERSONNEL SERVICES: Expenditures are projected to increase
by about 27%, or $477,123. This change is attributable to shifting of staff from the Public Health
Clinical Services Division back to the Community Health Services division in 2021 and the hiring
of additional staff capable of assisting with epidemiological tasks that are critical in a public health
department.
SUPPLIES and PURCHASED SERVICES: Supplies have decreased by $7,289, or 9.6%, while
Purchased Services will decrease by $49,865, or 10.8%. The change in Purchased Services is
largely attributable to shifting costs from the Public Health Clinical Services division associated
with these resulting activities.
FIXED CHARGES: An increase of $67,227 or 21.6% is primarily due to projected administration
overhead costs in this division, which is calculated on an FTE basis.
REVENUE: Overall revenue is expected to decrease by $143,335, or almost 10% due to the loss
of the grant funded program, Healthy Communities, which was discontinued by the Colorado
Health Care Policy & Finance Department in 2020.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Net County Cost for 2021 will remain flat (as compared to 2020).
Most expenditures are expected to decrease and will be more aligned with 2019 actual
expenditures. Supplies are anticipated to increase due to expenditures for the laboratory,
including a new dishwasher and other small items of equipment for larger lab equipment being
purchased in 2020.
PERSONNEL SERVICES: Decreased by 1.125 FTE due to not needing the second FTE that
was budgeted in 2020 for environmental health staff for the new Oil and Gas Energy Department.
SUPPLIES, PURCHASED SERVICES, AND FIXED CHARGES: Supplies increased by $23,095,
or 8%. There is an increased amount for lab consumables and small items of equipment.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
(CONTINUED)
2560-41400
REVENUE: Revenue is projected to decrease in 2021 by $132,282 (or 6%). We anticipate a
decrease in revenue from assessed civil penalties in the retail food program due to new legislation
that changed the enforcement process, effective 2020. There have also been retail food
establishment closures in 2020 due to COVID-19 that will likely decrease revenue from retail food
licenses. Revenue from septic permits was also adjusted down to come more in alignment with
2019 actuals and 2020 projections. It is again anticipated that development will slow down due
to COVID-19 and associated economic impacts. The addition of lab equipment purchased in
2020 will allow for an increase in services for additional contracts and/or to attract new contracts.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Overall, net county costs in the Public Health Clinical Services
division will decrease by $514,234, or 28.5%, in 2021 primarily due to the repositioning of
personnel resources that began in 2020.
PERSONNEL SERVICES: Personnel expenditures are projected to decrease by $338,612, or
19.2%, as vacancies are not filled and staff is shifted to the Community Health Services division
to accommodate an increased need for epidemiological responsibilities in the department.
SUPPLIES, PURCHASED SERVICES and FIXED CHARGES: Projected expenditures related to
Supplies, Purchased Services and Fixed Charges will increase by $4,629 total in 2021, as a result
of the realignment of resources between divisions in the Health Department.
REVENUE: Overall revenue is expected to increase by approximately $191,251 in 2021,
attributable to increased grant funding and expected increases in Medicaid, insurance and private
pay revenue from clinical services in our immunization and family planning programs.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval.
BOARD ACTION: Approved as recommended.

HUMAN SERVICES FUND SUMMARY
The Human Services Fund is funded at $9,097,750 for 2021, which is up $173,150 or 1.94% from
the previous year. Program funding is relatively stable for 2021. The Community Services Block
Grant is up $16,700, and Senior Nutrition programs are up $60,000. Department of Labor
programs are down $49,300. Area Agency on Aging is up $60,550 or 1.38%.
Being totally reliant upon state and federal funding sources, Human Services continues to operate
in an uncertain environment. The Human Services Fund budget has been constructed based
upon the best available information on the funding levels. It is very likely that many of the amounts
will be changed between now and the actual execution of the 2021 budget. As fiscal pressures
are dealt with, at the Federal and State levels, changes could be forthcoming that will affect this
funding.
The primary programs of Human Services are associated with the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA), formerly the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), funded under the
Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. This program is anticipating
$2,535,700 for 2021. In addition, the Job Service contract will be $1,048,300 up $85,200. Funding
for this program should remain fairly constant, depending on budget control measures enacted at
the Federal level.
The Human Services Fund is totally funded through state and federal programs, with the
exception of the 25 percent local match for the Area Agency on Aging program, which amounts
to $12,351.
Other programs of the Human Services Fund remain relatively stable programmatically with the
following 2021 funding levels:
Area Agency on Aging
Senior Nutrition
CSBG
$ 4,448,050
$ 820,000
$ 245,700
In the above programs, Weld County must continue to be responsive and reactive to federal and
state administrative and budget changes in 2021.

from home. Otherwise, the Center can only serve up to eight participants at any given time,
through the duration of the lockdown, due to social distancing regulations. Appointments are
required to study and complete assessments.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds are established to account for taxes or other earmarked revenue of the
county which finance specified activities as required by law or administrative action.
CONTINGENCY FUND:
The Contingency Fund is funded at the level of $10,000,000 with $47,500,000 from property tax,
and $37,500,000 going into the fund balance. A beginning fund balance of $52,500,000 is
anticipated. An ending fund balance of $100,000,000 is projected, assuming no contingency
funds are needed in 2021. The fund balance will serve as a stabilization reserve for fluctuating
revenues due to Weld County's heavy dependency on oil and gas assessed values that can
fluctuate dramatically from year to year due to production levels and price changes. Besides
serving as a general contingency reserve, the fund is available to mitigate impacts from the oil
and gas industry, such as unanticipated road and bridge heavy hauling impacts.
SOLID WASTE FUND:
The projected revenue estimate is $2,200,000 up $200,000 and consistent with recent revenue
trends. The Department of Public Health and Environment costs for the Household Hazardous
Waste program is projected to be $388,559. $40,000 is budgeted for community clean-ups, and
$90,000 to fund the roadside trash pick-up program with Useful Public Service clients. $122,019
is funded for solid waste inspections and monitoring by the Health Department. $142,379 is
budgeted for indirect costs. $1,787,500 is budgeted for repair work on county roads impacted by
landfill traffic. $179,543 is unallocated for road projects or other items to mitigate landfill impacts.
Beginning fund balance of $4,500,000 will be reduced by $635,000 in 2021 to $3,865,000.
$85,000 is funded for code enforcement of littering.
CONSERVATION TRUST FUND:
The Conservation Trust Fund is budgeted at $507,587 based upon the anticipated operating costs
for 2021. The budget reflects funding of Island Grove Park only. Revenues are from the Colorado
Lottery proceeds.
WELD COUNTY TRUST FUND:
The Weld County Trust Fund accounts for the assets held by the Weld Trust, a Colorado nonprofit
corporation recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as an exempt charitable organization
under Internal Revenue code section 501 (c)(3), for charitable purposes to benefit the citizens of
Weld County. The earnings of the fund are being used to fund Bright Futures student grants each
year.
EMERGENCY RESERVE FUND:
The Emergency Reserve Fund was established per Amendment One (TABOR), passed
November 3, 1992. The amendment requires that an emergency reserve be created to be used
for declared emergencies only. With the adoption of the new accounting rules under GASB 54
the three percent (3%) TABOR emergency reserve required by Article X, Section 20(5) of the
Colorado Constitution shall be a restricted fund balance in the General Fund in an amount equal
to eight -million dollars or three percent of the TABOR revenue limit, whichever is greater. This
Emergency Reserve Fund will no longer be used to budget or account for the TABOR emergency
reserve.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Revenue from the Colorado Lottery is being projected at $500,000
and $10,000 from interest earnings. For 2021, the budget for the county buildings at Island Grove
Park is proposed at $649,587. Revenue from rents and facility use fees for 2021 is estimated at
$142,000. The county payment for 2021 maintenance is proposed at $507,587, which is an
increase of $50,910 or 11.15% from the 2020 payment. The increase is primarily in salaries and
benefits, utilities and maintenance costs being up $5,310. The workload in the Island Grove
buildings is changing to more and more requests from Extension and 4-H for use of the facility.
With the usage change and less paid rental usage projected due to COVID-19 the rental revenues
are down $45,600.
Historically, when the final costs are reconciled with the City of Greeley at the end of the year the
amount paid by the county is less than budgeted.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The Contingency Fund is funded at the level of $10,000,000 with
$47,500,000 from property tax, and $37,500,000 going into the fund balance. A beginning fund
balance of $52,500,000 is anticipated. An ending fund balance of $100,000,000 is projected,
assuming no contingency funds are needed in 2021. The fund balance will serve as a stabilization
reserve for fluctuating revenues due to Weld County's heavy dependency on oil and gas assessed
values that can fluctuate dramatically from year to year due to production levels and price
changes. Besides serving as a general contingency reserve, the fund is available to mitigate
impacts from the oil and gas industry, such as unanticipated road and bridge heavy hauling
impacts.

$1,750,000 to remodel office buildings in the Weld Business Park, $5,000,000 for the Sheriff's
firing range/training facility, $750,000 to remodel the Courthouse holding cell area, and
$1,746,500 for special projects. A carry-over beginning fund balance of $7,000,000 is anticipated,

2021, $1,000,000 in 2022, and $800,000 in 2023. In 2021, the addition of a 35,000 square -foot
office building in the Weld Business Park will add approximately $160,000 per year for utilities
and maintenance. Special projects and Public Works facility projects are primarily cosmetic
enhancements to buildings that will not impact operating costs but will improve the appearance
and functionality of the buildings involved.

LONG RANGE CAPITAL PROJECTS
FIVE-YEAR PLAN
2021 - 2025
Presented By: Donald D. Warden
Director of Finance and Administration
September, 2020
LONG RANGE CAPITAL PROJECTS
FIVE YEAR PLAN
2021 - 2025
INTRODUCTION:
Section 14-3 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter provides:
"The Board may require that the Director of Finance and Administration submit, at
the time of submission of the annual budget, a five-year capital improvements
program and budget. Such program shall include recommended projects,
construction schedule, estimate of cost, anticipated revenue sources, methods of
financing, and such other information as may be required."
This five-year plan projects capital improvements for 2021 - 2025.
The recommended program for capital construction is intended as a guideline to be adjusted by
the Board of County Commissioners on an annual basis. It represents flexible goals for organizing
solutions to county program needs, and it is intended to provide the Board of County
Commissioners with the perspective for making fiscal policy decisions. Annual modifications in
the plan will reflect necessary adjustments and priorities, changes in programs, and
readjustments of other county fiscal requirements.
This report has four (4) sections:
1. Introduction
2. Financing Alternatives
3. 2021 - 2025 Five-year Plan
4. 2021 Budgetary Impact
The section on financing recommends a program for funding the next five years' capital
construction. This section lists the various sources of revenue currently available to the county,
and the alternatives available for financing the remainder of the capital projects program. The
2021 - 2025 five-year plan section provides a list of recommended projects and the time schedule
for the next five fiscal years. Additionally, it provides justification for the recommendation and
attempts to enumerate problems and recommended solutions for the capital improvements
program over the next five years. The project section describes each recommended project, and
provides information on the existing situation, the proposed solution, and the financing plan for
each project.
The last section of the report provides a recommended 2021 budget for the capital construction
program. It provides specific detail regarding each recommended project and the impact on the

FINANCING ALTERNATIVES
FINANCING
Overview:
There are a number of ways to finance capital improvement projects. Some of the most common
methods are:
1. Pay as you go:
Pay as you go is a method of financing capital projects with current revenues --
paying cash instead of borrowing against future revenues. Pay as you go has
several advantages. First, it saves interest cost. Second, pay as you go protects
borrowing capacity for unforeseen major outlays that are beyond any current year's
capacity. Third, when coupled with regular, steady completion of capital
improvements and good documentation and publicity, pay as you go fosters
favorable bond ratings when long-term financing is undertaken. Finally, the
technique avoids the inconvenience and considerable cost associated with
marketing of bond issues, advisors, counsel, printing, etc.
However, there are practical and theoretical disadvantages to a pay as you go
policy. First, pay as you go puts a heavy burden on the project year. Second, it
creates awkward fluctuating expenditure cycles which do not occur with extended
financing. Third, a long -life asset should be paid for by its users throughout its
normal life, rather than all at once by those who may not have the use of it for the
full term. Finally, when inflation is driving up construction costs, it may be cheaper
to borrow and pay today's prices, rather than wait and pay tomorrow's.
2. All borrowing policy:
An all borrowing policy or a substantial reliance on debt financing is another
approach. The annual available resources could be used entirely for debt service
with the size of the annual resources setting the limit on the amount that could be
borrowed.
3. Capital reserve:
A capital reserve plan is an approach where the annual resources available could
be accumulated in one or more capital reserve funds, the amounts invested, and
when any funds become adequate to pay for a proposed project, the fund could
be expended. This is a good approach when a county has a capital requirement
which can wait. Accumulation of the necessary capital funds over a period of time
is a feasible approach, assuming a relatively stable construction dollar.
HB 82-1111, passed in 1982, specifically provides for a capital improvements trust
fund for capital reserves.
449
4. Partial pay as you go policy:
A partial pay as you go policy is a common approach. Some of the annual
resources would be used to finance capital improvements directly, and the
remainder would go for supporting a debt program. Even if a local government
pursues a borrowing policy, an initial down payment out of current revenues is a
possibility. A customary five to ten percent down is a limited pay as you go policy
and assures that the voters authorizing the approval will make a cash contribution,
so all the burden will not be postponed.
5. Joint financing:
An ever increasing number of cities and counties are benefitting from joint
development of a project. The construction of a city/county office building and
recreational areas are examples. This avenue of funding and planning capital
projects normally is advantageous to both jurisdictions.
6. Lease/Purchase:
Local governments can utilize lease/purchase methods for needed public works
projects by having it constructed by a private company or authority. The facility is
then leased by the jurisdiction on an annual or a monthly rental. At the end of the
lease period, the title to the facility can be conveyed to the jurisdiction without any
future payments. The rental over the years will have paid the total original cost,
plus interest. This method has been used successfully in a few jurisdictions. The
utilization of a building authority would fall under this category of financing.
Numerous considerations are involved in the selection of the foregoing approaches, or some
combination thereof:
1. Political realities may preclude utilization of one or more of the above alternatives.
For example, the passage of general obligation bonds as a debt financing
mechanism has not met recent success at the polling places in most jurisdictions.
2. The pay as you go concept has three distinct advantages.
A. It provides great flexibility to the county for future periods of economic
recession or depression but does not accumulate large fixed -charge costs.
B. It avoids the payment of interest charges.
C. It imposes upon public officials the full political responsibility for levy of the
taxes necessary to pay the local share of such projects.
3. The debt financing approach has the advantage of spreading the cost over a
generation of current users of public facilities, thereby imposing upon each a
significant portion of the cost of each project.
4. In an inflationary period, one must consider the extent to which prepayment for
capital outlay is warranted, when the opportunity for repayment of the principal and
interest in dollars that are less expensive can be arranged.
450
5. During periods of rapid rise in costs, the time delay necessary to accumulate down
payments or full pay as you go resources invites higher costs which may wipe out
most, if not all, of the advantages of non-payment of interest.
In the five-year capital projects plan, a combination of funding methods will be recommended to
finance capital construction to balance the economy of a payment in full program with the fairness
of sharing the burden among present and future taxpayers.
This recommended financial program reflects consideration of many factors, including the
availability of cash, anticipated interest rates at the time of construction, and projected inflationary
cost increases that would result from project delays.
451
DEBT FINANCING
Before discussing specific types of borrowing, it is appropriate to review some of the basic
constitutional statutory provisions which generally are applicable to debt financing.
Article XI, Section 6, of the Colorado Constitution, provides that no debt may be created by a
political subdivision of the state, unless the question of incurring such debt has been approved by
a majority of the qualified electorate voting. Any obligation paid, or contracted to be paid, out of
a fund that is a product of a tax levy is a debt within the means of the Constitution (Trinidad vs.
Haxby, 136 Colorado 168, 315 p 2d 204 -- 1957).
In addition to voter approval, Article XI, Section 6, requires the debt be incurred by adoption of a
legislative measure which is irrevocable until the indebtedness is fully paid or discharged. The
ordinance must:
1. Set forth the purpose for which the bond proceeds will be applied, and
2. Provide for the levy of the tax which, together with such other revenues as may be
pledged, will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest of the debt.
The Constitution delegates to the Legislature the duty to establish statutory limitations on the
incurrence of debt. The total amount of debt which a county may incur may not exceed three
percent (3%) of the assessed value in the county, which is nearly $350 million dollars in Weld
County.
Section 4 of Article X, Section 20 (TABOR Amendment), requires voter approval for any form of
multi -year debt. It states that an election is required: "Except for the refinancing of district bonded
debt at a lower interest rate or adding new employees to existing district pension plans, creation
of any multiple -fiscal year direct or indirect district debt or other financial obligation whatsoever
without adequate present cash reserves pledged irrevocable and held for payments in all future
fiscal years."
In addition to the state statute, Section 14-6 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter specifies:
"The incurring of indebtedness by the county and the issuance of evidences of
such indebtedness shall be authorized, made and executed in accordance with the
laws of the state, including the borrowing of money to fund county projects, the
pledging of project revenues and repayment thereof, and the issuance of revenue
warrants, or revenue bonds, or other forms of evidence of such obligations."
Before discussing specific types of bonds, it is appropriate to review some of the general
characteristics of bonds. Bonds mature serially, that is, a portion of the principal is retired over
the entire term of the bond issue. Interest on municipal bonds is free from Federal Income Tax
which is an important feature to prospective purchasers. The term or the length of time to maturity
of municipal bonds can vary considerably. Generally, the last maturing bond comes due ten to
thirty years from the date of issue. Normally, the longer the maturity of the bonds, the higher the
yields or return on investment is demanded by the market price. Thus, a bond issue that runs
thirty years will pay a higher net effective interest rate than a bond issue that runs twenty years.
452
Genera! Obligation Bonds:
General obligation bonds are secured by a pledge of the full faith, credit and taxing power of the
county. The county is obligated to levy sufficient taxes each year to pay the principal and interest
of the bond issue. Consequently, general obligation bonds are a debt subject to the constitutional
and statutory provisions discussed earlier. Because the issue of general obligation bond pledges
its full faith and credit and agrees to levy the ad valorem taxes necessary to repay the principal
and interest of the bond, it is generally agreed to be a more secure investment than other types
of bonds. Thus, the major advantage of general obligation financing is the low rate of interest as
compared to the interest of other types of bonds. The law permits general obligation bonds to
have a thirty-year term; however, general obligation bond issues usually have terms of twenty
years or less.
General obligation bonds, in addition to being secured by full faith and credit of the issuer, may
provide additional security by pledging certain available revenues.
The major disadvantage of general obligation bonds is the fact that it does require voter approval
prior to issuance. Voter resistance to increased taxes may prevent a successful bond election.
Revenue Bonds:
Revenue bonds are not a debt in the constitutional sense. They are secured by the revenue
derived from the project to be constructed, not by pledge of the full faith, credit, and taxing
authority of the county. Projects typically financed by revenue bonds include airports, stadiums,
and park facilities. Under the TABOR Amendment, revenue bonds can only be used for enterprise
funds and operations.
Although it may seem possible to pledge any non -tax revenues for payment of revenue bonds,
there should be a relationship between the type of revenue pledged for payment of the bonds and
the project to be financed. Although revenue bonds need not comply with the constitutional
statutory provisions generally applicable to a debt, there are several statutory provisions which
may affect the issuance of certain types of revenue bonds and the statutes should be consulted
for specific provisions regarding the issue of revenue bonds if this method is considered.
Revenue bonds are less secure than general obligation bonds because of the inability of the
issuer to levy taxes to assure the payment of principal and interest. Thus, there is normally a
higher interest rate on revenue bonds. The term of revenue bonds is often beyond twenty years,
frequently as long as thirty years.
The concept of issuing revenue bonds is based on the theory that certain projects which benefit
only certain individuals should be self-supporting and should be paid for by the user of that project
rather than the populace as a whole. Thus, airport revenue bonds are paid for by air travelers
and airlines and parking revenue bonds are paid for by users, etc.
In order for a county to issue a revenue bond, the system which generates the revenues to repay
the principal and interest of the bond must:
1. Have a good operating history documented by audited figures.
2. Reflect good debt service coverage through use of a feasibility study
completed by a recognized expert in the field.
453
In analyzing a revenue bond issue for underwriting, an investment banker will look not only at
operating statistics and coverage, but also at more basic elements, such as the necessity of the
service, control over competition, and delinquency procedures. Revenue bonds are becoming
more popular because they do not require voter approval and do not apply in statutory debt limits.
Leases:
A less traditional method of financing county facilities is a lease arrangement. A lease is executed
with the county, which gives the county the option to purchase the equipment or facility during the
term of the lease. All or part of the lease payments may be applied to the purchase prices.
A bona fide lease option agreement is not a debt; however, an installment purchase program is a
debt. A bona fide lease/option agreement is characterized by two factors:
1. Annual rental payments with automatic renewal of the lease unless
terminated by either party, and
2. No obligation on the part of the local government to purchase the property
if the lease is terminated.
Also, some court cases indicate the annual rental must be paid from non -property tax revenues
to avoid the lease being considered a general obligation. Upon exercise of the option, the local
government obtains full legal title to the property. Leases of this nature are distinctively different
from more conventional means of financing. Of primary importance is the security which underlies
the lease period. It is not a promise to levy taxes or a pledge of revenues from the system.
Rather, it is usually a promise to pay only one year at a time, with an implied intention to continue
payment until ownership is transferred. As ultimate security, the holder of the lease may look to
the asset which is being leased in the event of a default.
There is little statutory or judicial guidance in the area of leases of this type, and the obligation to
continue lease payments until title transfers is a moral, rather than a legal obligation. As a
consequence, the underwriting or placement of a lease is more difficult than the underwriting of
conventional bonds. The term of the leases generally is short, usually from seven to ten years.
Because the security underlying the lease is not good compared with conventional financing,
interest rates on leases are higher.
454
Building Authority:
A building authority is a non-profit corporation which generally is formed at the request of the
governing body of the county or local jurisdiction, which also appoints the Board of Directors of
the corporation. Weld County created such an authority in 1987, named the Weld County Finance
Corporation. The directors are the Director of Finance, County Attorney, and Director of Buildings
and Grounds, each appointed for ten-year terms.
The building authority issues its own bonds to finance a facility. To achieve the same lower
interest rates that traditional municipal bonds enjoy, the building authority must obtain a ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that the interest on the authority's bonds is exempt from
Federal Income Tax. Such an exemption is granted if the IRS finds the authority's bonds are
issued on behalf of a political subdivision, which is determined based upon the following factors
as detailed in IRS Revenue Ruling 63-20.
1. The authority engages in activities which are essentially public in nature.
2. The corporation is not organized for profit.
3. The corporate income does not inure to the benefit of any private person.
4. The political subdivision has a beneficial interest in the corporation, while the
indebtedness is outstanding, and it obtains full legal title to the property on the
retirement of the debt.
5. The corporation has been approved by the political subdivision which has
approved the specific obligation of the corporation.
Like municipal bonds, bonds issued by a corporation usually are subject to registration and other
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Security Exchange Act of 1934. After receiving
a favorable ruling from the IRS, a "no action" letter should be secured from the Security and
Exchange Commission, exempting the authority's bonds from these requirements. The authority
then issues bonds pledging the annual rental payments as security. After issuance of bonds and
construction of the facilities, the authority leases the facilities to the county. Again, this must be
a bona fide lease and possess all the elements discussed under Lease/Purchase.
The bonds of a building authority are like municipal leases in the way they are viewed by investors.
As with a simple municipal lease, building authority bonds are less secure than general obligation
or revenue bonds. As a result, bonds issued through a building authority bear higher interest than
more secure issues.
Certificates of Participation (COP) may be issued in the same manner as bonds. As a practical
matter the COP is the same as a bond, except from a legal point of view, the COP is evidencing
assignment of proportionate undivided interests in rights to receive certain revenues in the form
of a lease or rental amount for the purpose of providing funding for capital improvements. The
lease and COP do not constitute a general obligation or other indebtedness of the county within
the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or home rule charter debt limitation. The lease is a
year-to-year obligation.
The use of Certificates of Participation (COP) has been the only debt vehicle Weld County has
ever used in the implementation of its debt policy options. The only COP issued by Weld County
was done in 1997 and was paid off August 1, 2007. No outstanding debt exists for Weld County.
455
BUILDING AUTHORITY FINANCE
The Philosophy:
Tax-exempt financing is available through a building authority with the issuance of bonds when
the facilities financed are for public purposes and the benefit is to the sponsoring public entity.
The Building Authority:
A building authority is a Colorado non-profit corporation created by the county itself. The county
adopts a resolution calling for the creation of the Building Authority and directing counsel to draw
articles of incorporation and by-laws in compliance with Colorado Statutes. A board of directors
is formed. The board may consist of County Commissioners or administrative personnel or
individuals not associated with any public entity. The Weld County Finance Corporation, created
in 1987, consists of the Director of Finance, County Attorney, and Director of Building and
Grounds as directors.
Tax -Exemption of Interest:
Once the non-profit corporation is created, the tax-exempt nature of interest paid on the
corporation's bonds must be assured. A revenue ruling is requested from the Internal Revenue
Service on the non-profit status of the corporation pursuant to Internal Revenue Code, 103(a) 1
and Revenue Ruling 63-20, and on the tax-exempt status of interest paid.
Such an application involves considerable work and a detailed analysis of the situation which is
presented to the Internal Revenue Service. The application includes information as to public
purpose, the county, the agency using the facilities, the proposed lease terms, terms of title
reversion to the county and the proposed method of financing.
Corporate Bonds and the S.E.C.:
As corporate bonds are subject to registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, a "no action" letter must be obtained from the S.E.C. The S.E.C. says that no action
will be taken if the bonds of the building authority/non-profit corporation are not registered.
The Purchase Contract:
Once the building authority is created with powers to act, it may enter into a contract to purchase
the facility. The contract should be subject to:
1. A favorable revenue ruling from the Internal Revenue Service.
2. Receipt of an S.E.C. "no action" letter.
3. Finalization of financing.
456
The Bond Issue:
When all legal and tax questions are answered the building authority may issue bonds for the
purchase of the facility. Normally the bonds are sold directly to an underwriter who then resells
the bonds to the ultimate investor.
The bonds that are issued will be an obligation of the building authority only and not a debt
obligation of the county.
The County Lease:
Upon the issuance of the bonds and the purchase of the building by the building authority, the
county can lease the building from the authority. The lease would be from year-to-year with
automatic renewal unless otherwise terminated. A county lease for any period in excess of one
year constitutes a debt and must be approved by voters.
The Bond Security:
The security of the bond holders may be only in a pledge of lease revenues by the authority. The
bond holders may also have a first mortgage lien on the building. The combination of the two
results in a more secure bond and a correspondingly lower rate of interest.
Partial Seller Financing:
Depending on factors such as the seller's motivation, whether there is an existing loan on the
building, and negotiations, a bond issue can be for only the amount necessary for a down
payment. The sellers can carry back the balance, receiving installment sale tax benefits on the
capital gains. A revenue ruling would be required; however, interest paid on a promissory note
to the seller may also be tax exempt. The total cost to the county and the building authority then
may be substantially lower on this basis.

CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
Existing Situation:
The Centennial Complex Jail was constructed in 1978 and was remodeled three times to increase
the capacity to 294 beds. In 1997, Phase I of the North Jail Complex was constructed with 160
beds and all of the core service facilities. The North Jail Complex is currently designed for a build
out of 779 beds, but the site can accommodate over a 1,000 -bed facility. Each phase would be
in increments of approximately 160 - 375 beds. Jail population continues to grow in Weld County,
but the growth rate has slowed the last few years due to more use of jail alternative programs.
Phase II was completed and opened in January 2004. Phase II added 245 beds based upon the
design. Construction of Phase II allowed for the closure of the Centennial Jail and conversion of
the space to accommodate Court needs. Phase III, which added 374 beds, was constructed in
2006 - 2007, and was opened in February 2008.
Proposed Solution:
It is proposed that additional phases of the North Jail Complex be constructed in increments of
beds, as needed. The total project of approximately 331,143 square feet will be constructed in
phases. The first phase, constructed in 1997, was 125,775 square feet. It included the core
service facilities, such as kitchen, administrative offices, medical detention, booking area, and
lobby to accommodate over 1,000 inmates. Phase II has 245 beds and is both maximum and
medium security to accommodate the projected inmate classifications. Phase II was constructed
in the 2002 - 2003 time frame and became fully operational as of 2004. Phase III has 374 beds
and was constructed in 2006 - 2007. There is currently 217,568 square feet of building with 779
beds available.
Financing:
In 2018 a supplemental appropriation of $40,000,000 was made to fund $44,500,000 in 2018 for
the jail expansion. This reduced the planned funding of $20,000,000 in each of the years 2019
and 2020. Net cost to the county was the same over the three budget years, but the timing of
funding allowed the completion of the project sooner. The jail expansion is an additional 113,575
square feet of building for 380 additional beds. The capital plan is consistent with the inmate
population projections that calls for the opening of added jail beds at the end of 2020. There was
$861,000 for jail equipment and computers for the jail expansion in the 2020 budget.
Impact on Operational Costs:
In early 2021, it is anticipated that the new jail capacity will be opened. The use of the capacity
will be phased in over a two to three-year period, depending on inmate population growth. Based
upon past phased openings of the jail, the estimated additional annual costs are:

WELD COUNTY BUSINESS PARK
Existing Situation:
In 1987, Weld County acquired 160 acres located in the southwest corner of "O" Street and North
11th Avenue in Greeley. Funds for the property came from the sale of the Health Building.
Proposed Solution:
The property is large enough to allow for future consolidation of county facilities in one area. The
utilities and site improvement were developed in 1988, at an estimated cost of $1,750,000 with
the aid of a $630,000 EDA Grant. The first facilities, completed in 1989, included a 15,000
square -foot building for Human Services and a county motor vehicle shop. Fifty to 60 acres have
been developed for building and storage sites and approximately 60 acres can be mined for gravel
and reclaimed in an attractive way. The new correctional facility is located on this site, as well as
the Health Department, Household Hazardous Waste Building, Training Center, Fleet Services
Facility, Public Works, Law Administration, Buildings and Grounds, Alternative Programs Facility,
Community Corrections Facility, and six administrative buildings. A portion of the property was
made available for commercial development and offered at no cost or low cost to private parties
for economic development incentives. A PUD was approved for land use purposes in 1989.
Financing:
Development is programmed into the long-range plan under specific projects, which include a
correction facility ($44,500,000), an additional office building and storage building for Public
Works ($3,600,000), purchase of existing office/warehouse in 2018 ($3,700,000), the purchase
of one existing office facility in 2019 ($4,700,000), and the remodel to convert the existing
paramedic headquarters into a coroner facility in 2020-2021 ($3,000,000). Four office buildings
will be remodeled in 2020-2021 at a cost of $3,950,000. A car wash for $2,000,000 is planned for
2020-2021 to accommodate county vehicle needs.
Impact on Operational Costs:
See individual projects for cost impacts.
464
COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
Existing Situation:
Weld County, in 1975, created the Weld County Regional Communications Center and agreed to
fund the infrastructure to accommodate the communications system. The system consisting of
towers, radio receivers and transmitters, system controllers, consoles, computers, and various
communications equipment has been required to be replaced or upgraded approximately every
ten years with growth and technological changes. The costs have been paid for by grants, Weld
County government, and the E911 Authority.
Proposed Solution:
The communications system was upgraded in 2012 at a total cost of $7,700,000. The E911
Authority Board agreed to fund the console equipment upgrade in the amount of $2,000,000, and
Weld County, in the Capital Expenditure Fund, funded the remaining costs. Since 2013, Weld
County has funded $950,000 per year, for the Communications System Reserve for future
communications systems upgrades in the Capital Expenditure Fund. The E911 Authority also has
a capital funding and capital reserve program to replace E911 capital items that they fund
annually.
Financing:
In 2018, a Ten -Year Capital Plan for the Weld County communications infrastructure and facilities
was developed. Beginning January 1, 2019, the increased E911 surcharge from $0.70 to $1.20
per month will raise an additional $1.67 million per year. From the E911 surcharge amount each
year $1,850,000 will be dedicated to fund the Ten -Year Communications Capital Plan. The capital
plan totals $19 million. The County's Capital Expenditure Fund has $850,000 in reserve for the
future communications building needs, but none for equipment. No funding will be placed in this
budget in future years with the new funding plan for the 2021-2030 Communications Capital Plan.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There will be no additional operational costs for the system. Operational costs are currently
funded by Weld County, the E911 Authority Board, and users through an allocation of cost formula
charging 40% of costs in 2020 to fire agencies. Law agencies will pay 25% in 2020, 32.5% in
2021 and 40% thereafter.
465
GRADER SHEDS / STORAGE BUILDING
Existing Situation:
The County currently has 21 grader sheds throughout Weld County, to accommodate road
maintenance functions in all sectors of the county. The grader sheds are in various conditions,
ranging from good to needing replacement. The following is the age of the sheds: Johnstown
(1945), Vim (1983), Mead (1985), Severance (1987), Ault (1989), Briggsdale (1991),
Keenesburg (1994), Stoneham (1994), Dacono (1995), Fort Lupton (2000), Gill (2001), Gilcrest
(1989), Galeton (2003), New Raymer (2004), Rockport (2007), Peckham (2007), Keota (2008),
Kersey (2010), Grover (2013), Kiowa (2015), Nunn (2018) and Johnstown/Mead (2019). In
addition, four ice control storage buildings were constructed in 2001 - 2003. Additional storage
facilities at the Public Works Headquarters were built in 2003 and 2013. A new Buildings and
Grounds facility was built in 2007, and the old facility was converted to a Printing and Supply
facility. An additional storage facility was purchased in 2009. An addition to the Public Works
Headquarters for Engineering was completed in 2015.
Proposed Solution:
An analysis of existing grader sheds determined which are required for the operational functions
of the road maintenance operation in Weld County. In the process some have been sold, others
consolidated, and some identified for replacement. In cases where existing grader sheds will
accommodate the maintenance function, it is suggested that attention be given to those sheds
that need maintenance or major improvements. Where necessary, replacement sheds have been
identified.
Financing:
The County, since 1982, has totally reconstructed and upgraded all grader and road maintenance
facilities. The County should continue a sound maintenance and replacement program, so the
buildings do not fall into the disrepair condition they were in prior to 1982. The funding mechanism
is a pay-as-you-go function out of the Capital Fund. In 2014, a 15,000 square -foot heavy
equipment storage facility was constructed ($800,000). In 2015, additional office space was
added for Engineering. In 2019, $1,500,000 was funded for Johnstown/Mead 3 -bay grader station
and a $3,700,000 office building and truck storage building. In 2020, there was $350,000 for
parking lot improvements and power pole lights, and $200,000 to fence the Public Works complex.
Also, additional office space was added for Engineering in 2020 ($1,650,000).
Funds in the amount of $4,290,000 are included for Public Works facilities in 2021-2025. The
grader sheds will be replaced in Ault (2021) for $500,000, Briggsdale (2022) for $500,000,
Keenesburg land (2022) for $250,000, and grader shed (2023) for $350,000, grader shed in
Stoneham (2024) for $350,000, and Vim land purchase in (2025) for $100,000, and grader shed
(2026) for $350,000. In 2021 and 2024, additional storage facilities will be constructed at an
estimated cost of $870,000 each.
Impact on Operational Costs:
Vehicle storage facility and lighting will have utility costs of approximately $2,400 per year. Since
the old grader sheds are being replaced and consolidated with new sheds, the county's
experience is that there is approximately a $1,000 per year savings on the utilities due to the use
of radiant heat and improved insulation. Staffing is unchanged.
466
JUSTICE CENTER
Existing Situation:
The Justice Center includes the Courthouse, Court Annexes, and Centennial Center buildings. It
provides for the space needs of the 19th Judicial District. Under state law the county is obligated
to provide and maintain the facilities for court related activities. The Courthouse was built in 1917
and is maintained on the Federal Register of Historical Buildings. After many remodels and
upgrades it still functions as the main court facility for Weld County. In the mid -1980's two
buildings across the street from the Courthouse were acquired and remodeled to house the
Probation Department. In 2001, the West Courthouse Annex Building was acquired to house the
District Attorney Juvenile Division. As the population grows and court related activities increase,
the space requirements continue to expand. Four courtrooms were added in 2008.
Proposed Solution:
With the growing needs of the courts it will require that the county convert the Centennial Center,
including the jail, to courtrooms and court -related offices. With the construction of Phase II of the
North Jail, the Centennial Jail was closed and remodeled into court -related space in 2004. All
Sheriffs office administrative functions, along with Communications and Records, were moved to
the new Public Safety Administrative Building next to the North Jail in 2003. Over time the entire
Centennial Complex will become court -related space, as well as the two annex buildings to the
west and east of the Courthouse. In 2004, three additional district courtrooms were created, a
juvenile courtroom, and one additional county courtroom, and in 2009 four additional court rooms
were built. The first floor of the Centennial Jail has been converted into courtrooms. The second
and third floors of the jail were remodeled in 2010, including additional court and office facilities.
First floor Centennial offices were converted into office space for the Clerk to the Court. The
space in the Courthouse occupied by the Clerk to the Court was converted into a district
courtroom. In 2020, space formerly occupied by the Weld County Commissioners and
administrative functions will be converted to court -related space since those functions moved to
a new administrative building in 2011. These courtrooms will supplement the current vacant
district courtroom and the visiting judge courtroom to accommodate additional judges through
2025. The Chase Building purchased in 2014 will provide space for court support functions for
years with its 119,875 square -foot of space.
Financing:
The County can accommodate court related activities in the space of the Justice Center for
several years. In addition, the block to the southeast of the Centennial Complex has been
acquired by the county and converted into a parking lot. In the future when the need arises, that
block can serve as a site for court building expansion and a parking garage structure to
accommodate court space needs. Also, in the next decade it may be necessary to have court
facilities in the southern part of Weld County where the population is growing at a rapid rate. The
funding mechanism for all court facility needs should be a pay-as-you-go function out of the
Capital Fund. The following page is a schedule of proposed conversion of Justice Center space.

ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMS
BUILDING
Existing Situation:
Alternative programs were housed in the old jail and in the West Courthouse Annex. As jail
crowding became more and more of a problem, the alternative programs, such as work release
and pre-trial programs, are used more and more by the Court. The programs formerly occupied
approximately 20,000 square feet. The space that the programs occupied was needed for
courtrooms and Probation office space.
Proposed Solution:
To accommodate the space needs of the alternative programs and allow for growth in the
programs, a 30,000 square -foot building was proposed. The facility was constructed in the Weld
County Business Park. This puts the facility in closer proximity to the jail for support services.
Financing:
The new 30,000 square -foot Alternative Programs Building was completed in 2008.
Impact on Operational Costs:
Impact of additional costs on the 2008 budget was $156,300 for utilities and maintenance.
Staffing costs were unchanged, since personnel were transferred from the old facility to the new
building.
469
LAW ENFORCEMENT
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
Existing Situation:
Growing needs of the courts require that the county convert the Centennial Center, including the
jail, to courtrooms and court -related offices. With the construction of Phase II of the North Jail,
the Centennial Jail will be closed and remodeled into court -related space. In addition, all Sheriff's
office administrative functions, along with the Communications and Records, were relocated in
2004 to accommodate the courts.
Proposed Solution:
Since the entire jail operation was moved to the North Jail there are logistical advantages to
relocate all Sheriff Office functions near the jail site. To accommodate the space needs of the
Sheriff's Office, a 22,000 square -foot office building near the North Jail site was constructed in
2002. The building houses the Sheriff's office functions, Communications, and Records. This
allows for the consolidation of all criminal justice functions at one site with the exception of patrol
substations.
Financing:
The new Public Safety Administration Building was constructed in 2002. Funds in the amount of
$2,500,000 were budgeted in 2002 for the construction of a 22,000 square -foot office building. In
2010 and 2014 respectively, the Records Unit and the Weld County Regional Communications
Center were moved from the Law Enforcement Administration Building to the former Human
Services Building to free up space for the Sheriff's Office.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There were no impacts or additional costs on the 2010 or 2014 budget for utilities and
maintenance, since the space has been maintained in the past. Staffing costs were unchanged,
since personnel were transferred from the old facility to the new building.
470
WELD COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING CENTER
Existing Situation:
Currently the Weld County Sheriff's Office does not have a dedicated training center with space
to provide basic and on -going training. Besides just classroom space the department needs a
facility to provide the dynamic training that is required for firearms, emergency vehicular
operations, K9 training area, SWAT, as well as an explosive ordinance and demolitions training
area.
Proposed Solution:
The Sheriff's Office is proposing a dedicated law enforcement training center with space to
provide basic and on -going training. Building the law enforcement training center will be
accomplished through a long range multi -phased project. The training center site would require
the following reasonable space requirements:
Firing Range 25 acres
Buildings (2-4 total) 2 acres
Driving Pad/Track 46 acres
K9/Law fitness 4 acres
Parking/Miscellaneous 11 acres
Total land needed 88 acres
Financing:
Development is programmed into the long-range plan under specific projects, which include a
firing range, four classroom/storage buildings, security fencing, driving pad/track, K9 training area,
fitness track and facility, and parking. The first phase will be acquiring the land and constructing
two classrooms, the firing range, and parking. Phase two would include the K9 training area,
fitness track and facility. Public Works could also use the driving pad/track for CDL and grader
training. The site for the firing range and training facility was purchased in 2020. In the 2021-2025
Capital Plan $10,000,000 is included based upon the costs for similar facilities in Colorado and
nationally.
Impact on Operational Costs:
The annual operational costs of the facility are estimated to be approximately $50,000-$100,000.
The law enforcement training center could also be used by other law enforcement agencies in the
area, which could provide revenue to offset operating costs. Staff to do the training already exist
in the Sheriff's Office.
471
REGIONAL CRIME LAB/EVIDENCE STORAGE
Existing Situation:
Formerly the county had a crime lab located in the basement of the Centennial Complex, and the
former Planning Department office. The space was inadequate to meet the size and program
requirements. Weld County took the lead to create a regional crime lab for Northern Colorado
that houses approximately 40 crime lab staff members from various law enforcement agencies
and CBI.
Proposed Solution:
The regional crime lab facility consists of approximately 20,000 square feet. It contains private
and open office areas, waiting areas, lobby space, meeting/conference rooms, complete
laboratory and forensics discovery area. It is fully fire sprinkled. The crime lab's location is in a
business park off Highway 34 and WCR 17, which is a central location for the Northern Colorado
region.
In 2021, the Weld County Sheriff will take over the custody, storage, and management of criminal
evidence formerly done by the City of Greeley Police Department. To accommodate the function,
an evidence storage building will be constructed on the same parcel adjacent to the crime lab in
2020.
Financing:
The construction of the regional crime lab started in 2012 financed by $4,000,000 in county funds.
It was completed and fully operational in August 2013. $2,000,000 is included in the 2020 capital
budget for the construction of the evidence storage building.
Impact on Operational Costs:
When the crime lab was constructed there was additional costs in the budget for utilities and
maintenance, in the amount of $310,000. However, five participating agencies pay approximately
80% of this cost, or $245,000 for a net county cost of $65,000. Staffing costs are unchanged,
since personnel were transferred from the old crime lab to the new building. A Federal grant for
$500,000 funded the first three to four years of operational costs.
The evidence function will require a staff of three and associated building costs. These costs will
be partially offset by eliminating the evidence contract with the City of Greeley Police Department
fora net increase of approximately $80,000-$100,000 per year beginning in 2021.
472
COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS FACILITY
Existing Situation:
The Community Corrections program had been operated by private contractors since its inception
in Weld County in the early 1980's. The facility that the contractors had used was the site known
as The Villa, which were old dormitories on the UNC campus. UNC encouraged the Community
Corrections Facility to move off campus due to the facility housing convicted felons that are
returning to the community from the Colorado Department of Corrections. In 2008, there were
problems with the contractor that owns the facility providing the community correction services.
The county realizes that without a county -owned community corrections facility it limits the
county's choices for a contract provider of the service and the option of the county operating the
facility itself through the Justice Services Department.
Proposed Solution:
The Board of Weld County Commissioners, in May 2008, made the decision that the county
should construct its own Community Corrections Facility in the Weld County Business Park. The
site is at the entrance of the park at the northwest corner of 11th Avenue and H Street. A 30,000
square -foot building was constructed in 2010 to accommodate the program. The site can
accommodate a doubling of the facility size at some future date at a cost of approximately
$5,000,000.
Financing:
The new Community Corrections Facility was constructed, in 2010, within the Weld County
Business Park. An Energy Impact Grant, in the amount of $400,000, along with $4,600,000 in
county funds, funded the project.
Impact on Operational Costs:
The program costs are paid for from state contracts with the State Department of Corrections
through a lease to ICCS, which is the sub -contractor operating the facility. Currently, the program
services are provided by a private contractor (ICCS). The private contractor pays rent for the
facility annually that covers the maintenance costs and the depreciation of the building. The
revenue is found in budget unit 1000-90100.
473
DOWNTOWN GREELEY
PARKING AND LAND
Existing Situation:
The Courthouse and Centennial Center are located in the center of downtown Greeley. The future
plans are for these facilities to be the judicial center for the 19th Judicial District that serves Weld
County. Parking has been a long time problem in the area for citizens using the facilities. In
addition, as Weld County looks to the future there will be a need to have land to locate future
court facilities. The court administration is insistent upon having a centralized location, since other
jurisdictions have had logistical problems attempting to split court facilities into more than one
location. As a result, there is a need to acquire land adjacent to the current location to
accommodate future court facilities.
Proposed Solution:
In July, 2003, the County purchased a portion of an adjacent block of property to the Centennial
Complex and Courthouse to allow for surface parking in the immediate future, and to provide
future building sites for future court facilities. Opportunity existed to purchase approximately
100,000 square feet adjacent to the current facilities in 2003. The parking was developed in 2004,
and needed facilities can be constructed on this site in the future.
Financing:
In 2003, the fund balance from the General Fund, in the amount of $1,500,000, was transferred
to the Capital Expenditure Fund to acquire the site and put money aside for the parking
improvements in 2004. Approximately 250 parking spots have been developed to serve the area.
As portions of the site are needed for court building sites, a parking structure can be built to
accommodate added parking needs, or land to the east or south of the site can be acquired for
surface parking. In the 2012 budget, $2,000,000 was reserved for the purchase of property
adjacent to the current Justice Center location to accommodate future court facilities and support
services. In 2014, $1,500,000 was used for property acquisitions leaving $500,000 reserved for
future property purchases in the area of the Courthouse.
Impact on Operational Costs:
No new operation costs are anticipated.
474
WELD PLAZA BUILDING
804-822 7th STREET, GREELEY
Existing Situation:
Weld County has a major investment in court facilities in the downtown Greeley area. For many
years the county has gradually been acquiring buildings and land for the court operations and
parking accommodations. The court operations and support function will grow over time and
require a long-term plan.
Proposed Solution:
In 2014, the county purchased the Weld Plaza Building located at 804-822 7th Street, in Greeley,
Colorado, located a block and half from the Courthouse. The building is a 119,875 square -foot
complex that will allow Weld County to create a more complete judicial complex in the downtown
Greeley area over time. The District Attorney's Office, probation, and other human services with
court related responsibilities can eventually be consolidated in the complex. Until the space is
needed, the county will continue to lease the space to private business to offset the cost of the
building.
Financing:
In 2014, the 119,875 square -foot Weld Plaza Building complex was purchased for $5,775,000. In
late 2016, the county relocated child protection services into the two-story plaza that contains
approximately 27,000 square feet and the first floor of the main building. The remodel costs in
2016 were approximately $2,800,000. In 2021-2025, the capital plan provides $750,000 in 2021
and $475,000 in 2023 for improvements to the building to better accommodate the future use of
the facility by county departments. $3,000,000 is included in 2025 for a remodel for Probation.
Impact on Operational Costs:
With the current private leases, the building is projected to provide a net operating income gain
of $250,000-$700,000 per year, so no additional operating costs are anticipated for the immediate
future.
475
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE BUILDING
Existing Situation:
The long-term plan with the development of the Weld County Business Park was for the eventual
move of all administrative functions of the county to the business park. All of the functions were
housed at the Centennial Complex in 1976. In 1990-91 the Assessor, Treasurer, Clerk and
Recorder, and Planning were relocated to the business park. With the future space demands of
the courts it is anticipated that the remaining county administrative functions at the Centennial
Complex will need to be relocated to the Weld County Business Park. This will leave the
Centennial Complex as a justice and law enforcement center exclusively.
Proposed Solution:
In order to accommodate the Court's space needs and the County's administrative functions it
was necessary to acquire a new administrative facility at the Weld County Business Park. To
accommodate the space needs of the existing administrative functions, and plan for future growth,
an existing 43,000 square -foot office building was purchased in 2010 and remodeled to
accommodate current and future County administrative functional needs. In 2019, the county
purchased the StarTek office building in the Weld Business Park for $4,700,000 for an additional
35,000 square -foot office building, and the Rubadue office/warehouse building for $3,525,735 for
an additional 19,890 square -foot building to house county functions.
Financing:
The County purchased the existing Sykes Building for $3,500,000 in June 2010. Approximately
another $2,300,000 was spent to remodel the building to make a fully functional administrative
building to house the County Commissioners' Office and associated administrative functions. The
project was funded by Capital Reserve funds. An additional 35,000 square -foot office building
was acquired in 2019 for $4,700,000. In 2020, the building was remodeled for $2,000,000. In
2021, $1,110,000 is budgeted to remodel an existing 20,000 square -foot office building to house
county functions, such as Planning, Building Inspection and others. The Treasurer's office will be
remodeled in 2021 at an estimated cost of $650,000.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There were additional costs in the 2011 budget for utilities and maintenance, in the amount of
$180,000. There were no additional staffing costs since the staff moved from other facilities to
occupy this building. Moving and relocation costs were $50,000.
In 2020, the addition of the two buildings acquired in 2019 with 54,890 square feet in the Weld
Business Park will add approximately $160,000 per year for utilities and maintenance.
476
HUMAN SERVICES
BUILDING ANNEX
Existing Situation:
The Human Services Building was acquired in the 1970's and in the mid 1990's an annex was
added. In 2005, additional land was purchased, adjacent to and south of the two existing
buildings. The additional land will accommodate another 20,000 square -foot building and parking.
Proposed Solution:
A new 40,000 square -foot building was constructed in Greeley on the Social Services site in 2009.
The building will accommodate the current services, plus allow room for future expansion and
consolidation of the Human Services and Social Services Departments. In late 2016, the Child
Protection unit was relocated to the Chase Building freeing up space at the Human Service
Complex.
Financing:
The building was constructed in 2009. Funds in the amount of $5,000,000 were budgeted in the
2008 budget for the 40,000 square -foot building. Additional parking was constructed in 2007, in
the amount of $300,000. In 2018, $3,000,000 was spent to remodel and upgrade the oldest
building, and another $3,800,000 was spent over 2019-2020 to upgrade the two remaining
buildings.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There were additional costs in the 2010 budget and beyond for utilities and maintenance, in the
amount of $210,000. However, the majority of the program costs are paid for from grants from
the State Department of Social Services. There were no additional staffing costs since the staff
moved from other facilities to occupy this building. The added space costs for the Chase Building
will be paid from the State Child Welfare Allocation. No additional costs are anticipated for the
areas remodeled in 2019-2020.
477
SOUTHWEST
COUNTY SERVICE CENTER
Existing Situation:
The Southwest County Service Center was developed in 2000 - 2001. Population growth in the
southern part of Weld County continues. Southern municipalities such as Frederick, Firestone,
Erie and Dacono have more than doubled in size over the last decade. With the growth in the
area, additional facilities will be required to house all the County functions required to service the
area.
Proposed Solution:
It is proposed that an additional administration building be constructed on the Southwest Weld
County Service Center site in the future. The building will accommodate the current services,
plus allow room for future expansion of services in the area.
Financing:
The building will be constructed in 2025, or beyond. Funds in the amount of $1,000,000 are
budgeted in the 2024 for the initial planning and design of the building that will be construct in
2025 or beyond.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There will be additional costs in the budget for utilities and maintenance, in the amount of
$120,000 when the facility is built. There will be no additional staffing costs since the staff will be
moving from other facilities to occupy this building. Moving and relocation costs are estimated to
be $30,000.
478
SOUTHEAST
COUNTY SERVICE CENTER
Existing Situation:
The Southeast County Service Center was acquired as a used building in the early 1980's from
the City of Fort Lupton. With the growth in the area, the building was no longer large enough for
the functions located in the building, and the building was in need of remodeling.
Proposed Solution:
In 2006, a new 20,000 square -foot building was constructed in east Fort Lupton on a five -acre
site. The building accommodates the historic services provided, plus Probation and increased
Human Services. The location of the building in east Fort Lupton will better accommodate not
only Fort Lupton residents, but also residents from the Hudson and Lochbuie areas. Additional
space may be added to the site in 2024, or beyond.
Financing:
The additional building will be constructed in 2022. Funds in the amount of $6,000,000 are
budgeted in the 2022 budget for the 20,000 square -foot building.
Impact on Operational Costs:
There will be additional costs in the budget for utilities and maintenance, in the amount of
$120,000 when the facility is built. There will be no additional staffing costs since the staff will be
moving from other facilities to occupy this building. Moving and relocation costs are estimated to
be $30,000.

MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTS
Existing Situation:
Each year there are several special projects to do major maintenance to buildings, update or
renovate county facilities, provide for new county programs, and remodel to accommodate
changing programs or meet new legal standards. An approach which provides miscellaneous
funds of this nature can prevent postponing necessary major maintenance or remodeling of
facilities and, thus, avoid added cost or delay of potential savings to the county and taxpayers. In
addition, such an approach can also make better utilization of existing facilities in order to avoid
the acquisition of new space and facilities. Carpet replacement, HVAC replacement, roof
replacement, elevator upgrades, remodels, and major maintenance projects should be included
in this category.
Proposed Solution:
It is recommended that an amount of $8,304,500 be set aside for such projects in the Long -Range
Capital Projects Plan. A detailed listing of special projects is on the following two pages.
Financing:
It is recommended the county budget $8,304,500 over the next five years to accommodate the
detailed listing of special projects found on the following two pages.
Impact on Operational Costs:
No new operational costs are anticipated. In most cases the HVAC systems replaced should be
more energy efficient resulting in energy cost savings.

ACCUMULATIVE CAPITAL
OUTLAY/CONTINGENCY
Existing Situation:
If Weld County is to embark upon a number of ventures in capital projects over the next five years,
it is suggested the county proceed very cautiously and very conservatively in the area of financing.
To do this, it is suggested that a contingency be set aside each year on a pay-as-you-go basis to
accommodate unanticipated cost increases or emergency situations which cannot be foreseen at
this time. If the contingency amount is accumulated over the next five years, it can be used as a
reserve for the capital projects program in future years, or it can be used as a funding mechanism
in years beyond 2025. The primary reserve would be for a future correctional facility or other
facilities at the North County Complex and southwest and southeast County administrative office
sites and to fund the replacement of the Communications system.
Proposed Solution:
Budget any carry-over amounts each year on a contingency basis that ultimately could be used
to meet any contingency/emergency situation or could be used as an accumulation of capital
outlay funds for funding of projects beyond 2025.
Financing:
It is recommended that the county budget fund balance carry-overs in the capital fund each year
as a contingency.
Impact on Operational Costs:
None.
484
MISCELLANEOUS FUNDS
CONSERVATION TRUST FUND
Existing Situation:
With the passage of SB119 (The Colorado Lottery), 40 percent of the proceeds of the lottery are
earmarked for Conservation Trust Funds in local governments. The earning potential of the lottery
is anticipated to be $435,000 per year. The funds must be used for "the acquisition, development,
and maintenance of new conservation sites, or for capital improvements or maintenance for
recreational purposes on any public site". (Section 29-21-101, C.R.S.) With the passage of
Amendment 8 (GO COLORADO) these funds should stabilize at $450,000 to $500,000 per year,
plus lottery sales growth. See Conservation Trust Fund for detailed discussion.
Proposed Solution:
The Board has the option to use the funds in the following ways:
1. Maintain and improve Island Grove Park.
2. Maintain and improve the Missile Site Park.
3. Acquire and maintain open space.
4. Develop and maintain trails.
5. Other project requests from throughout the county.
Financing:
In addition to Conservation Trust Funds, it is recommended that the county finance parks and
recreation projects at a level of $239,000 in the General Fund from property taxes.
Impact on Operational Costs:
No new operational costs are anticipated.
486
ISLAND GROVE
Existing Situation:
Weld County and the City of Greeley currently have certain joint ventures and commitments to
develop the Island Grove Park facility. Some discussion has been held regarding the creation of
an Island Grove Park Authority for development and management of the facility.
Proposed Solution:
If the Board of County Commissioners decides to continue participation in the development of the
Island Grove facility, it is recommended that Conservation Trust Funds from the lottery be used
to the maximum amount prior to use of county general tax funds.
Financing:
It is recommended that the county finance any Island Grove enhancements with Conservation
Trust Funds resulting from the lottery, to the maximum amount possible, prior to use of general
county tax funds. Beginning in 2003, $100,000 per year in General Fund dollars has been
committed to the maintenance of an indoor arena facility. Also, in 2000, the County contributed
$1,500,000 towards the construction of the indoor arena facility, known as the Island Grove
Community Building. The facility was constructed and will be maintained jointly by the City of
Greeley, Farm Show, and Weld County. $250,000 was included in the 2004 General Fund budget
to add air conditioning to the Island Grove Community Building. The county paid $1,500,000, in
2006, for the Island Grove Park Master Plan that covers improvements to the park for the next 10
- 20 year period.
Impact on Operational Costs:
Although the Island Grove Park Authority may incur additional operational costs from the projects
in the park's CIP, no new operational costs are anticipated as a result of the park's CIP for Weld
County government. In most cases, the new park facilities planned will generate revenues to
support the additional operating costs.

PROPRIETARY FUNDS SUMMARY
Proprietary funds include both Internal Service Funds and Enterprise Funds. Internal Service
Funds are established to account for goods and services provided to other departments of the
county on a cost -reimbursement basis. Enterprise Funds account for departments providing
services primarily to third party payers.
NORTHERN COLORADO REGIONAL FORENSIC LABORATORY FUND: This fund accounts
for the maintenance and operational costs of the Northern Colorado Regional Forensic
Laboratory. It is funded by rent paid by participating agencies.
FLEET SERVICES FUND: The Fleet Services Fund accounts for the revenue and costs
generated by equipment and vehicles rented to other county departments. The gross operating
budget amounts to $12,054,709 in 2021, with $6,462,600 budgeted for new capital equipment.
Depreciation is $4,963,002 for new equipment purchases, plus sale of surplus items of $580,100.
HEALTH INSURANCE FUND: The Health Insurance Fund reflects the cost of Weld County's
self-insurance program which includes health, dental, and vision coverage. Details of the program
and coverage are found under the specifics of the fund summary. In 2021, the county will continue
with only dental and vision being self -insured. Health coverage will be provided by a private
company on a partially self -insured basis with a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) option
and a High Deductible Health Plan/Health Reimbursement Account (HDHP/HRA) option.
INSURANCE FUND: The Insurance Fund accounts for all insurance costs for the county. The
program is a combination of insured risks and protected self-insurance risks. Gross budget costs
are $3,838,675 in 2021, with a property tax levy of $3,500,000. Details of the program are
provided under the specifics of the fund summary.
TELECOM SERVICE FUND: Budget reflects total consolidation of telecom service costs of
$1,399,969 in Weld County. Funding is at current level and reflects no capital upgrades in 2021.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The budget reflects the cost of self -insuring the dental and vision
reimbursement plan ($281,300), Wellness Program and administration costs ($374,100), and the
on -site county clinic ($700,000). In addition, the budget, in 2005, started to include the partially
self -insured health program offered to county employees through CIGNA. For 2019, the county
solicited bids from all the large insurers operating in Colorado. As a result, the successful bidder
was Aetna, which will offer the same coverage with a similar broad network of health providers at
15% less. In 2021, the program will once again not have a premium increase. The partially self -
insured health program is funded at the level of $21,195,168 in 2021.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval. Weld County will
utilize Aetna, with a hybrid universal health PPO/HMO plan as the health insurance provider in
2021, plus offer a high deductible health plan with a health reimbursement account option through
Aetna. Rates for 2021 will remain the same as the 2020 rates for both the employees and Weld
County.
In 2005, the county moved its health insurance plan to a consumer driven plan that combines a
high deductible PPO insurance policy along with an HMO component for preventative care, with
a low co -pay and low cost prescriptive drug program. The high deductible policy protects the
insured from catastrophic losses, such as prolonged illness, hospitalization or simply an
unexpected period of poor health. The plan is a partially self -insured program with stop loss
insurance. The goal is to make the employees aware of the true cost of health care, with a
program that will encourage employees and their families to make more judicious spending
decisions in return for paying lower insurance premiums and lower health care costs. The health
plan is being offered through Aetna. In 2008, the County moved to a universal health care option
that has lower employee premiums and higher co-insurance and out-of-pocket costs. A
comprehensive wellness program was also implemented in 2008. In July 2010, the County
opened its own health clinic in an attempt to better serve county employees' and their dependents'
primary health needs in a more convenient and cost-effective manner. The clinic contract will
cost $700,000 in 2021 with primary care being provided for employees. It is anticipated that there
will be a savings to the insurance plan of over $1,700,000, with a return on investment of over 2
to 1. All these efforts have contributed towards our goal of holding down healthcare costs to our
employees and their dependents. The success of the efforts is demonstrated by the fact that
health insurance rates are 11.8% lower in 2021 than they were seven years ago.

6200-93100/93400
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION (CONTINUED):
In 2021, it is recommended to continue the base health plan offered along with the standard PPO
being a high deductible health plan with a health reimbursement account (HRA) option through
Aetna. The County will contribute $1,000 to the HRA for those employees taking the high
deductible health/HRA plan. The standard PPO option offered will have higher deductibles,
co -pays, and out-of-pocket expenses. The health plan options are consistent with the changes
being made by the health insurance industry and by major employers offering employee and
dependent healthcare benefits. Total budget is up due to premiums from higher enrollment of
employees and dependents

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: The budget is structured with Weld County remaining a member of
CAPP but using the self -insured option under the insurance pool for a fixed cost of $983,500.
Effective January 1, 1992, Weld County became self -insured for workers compensation. Workers
Compensation includes excess insurance and bonds costing $210,650, claims administration
costs of $44,525, and a loss fund of $1,800,000. A loss fund for all other insurance coverage is
budgeted at $800,000. Unemployment insurance is being charged directly to departments. The
program is supported by property tax ($3,500,000), charges for service ($135,000), interest
($78,675), and compensation for losses ($125,000). No fund balance reserves are anticipated to
be needed to support the loss fund in 2021.
Property tax remains the same at $3,500,000. Claim costs for workers compensation have
remained high due to rising healthcare costs.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of the insurance
program as outlined above in the summary of changes. In accordance with Section 8-44-204,
C.R.S., it is recommended that a mill levy be used to fund the insurance program for local county
activities and a charge back mechanism be used only for programs funded by state and federal
funding sources. Weld County, through CAPP, has reduced limits of coverage and placed
reliance on sovereign immunity to stay within the budgeted amount. The legislative changes in
1986 strengthened the county's position in the use of sovereign immunity limits in Colorado cases.
In addition, the county can levy up to 10 mills per year to discharge any judgment against it.
Continuation of the self -insured program for workers compensation is recommended, which
should result in cost savings, plus no shared risks with other counties. Unemployment costs are
recommended to be charged directly to departments for revenue raising strategies and
departmental accountability for costs.
BOARD ACTION: Approved as recommended.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES: Personnel Services are down $100,877 with step increases included
and the transfer of a Technical Support position to the Information Technology budget unit 1000-
17300. Supplies are up $111,200 primarily due to the inclusion of the five-year maintenance
contract costs for the VoIP system. Phone costs are up $26,500 due to the addition of several cell
phones for new positions in 2020. Training is down $100 and contract payments are down $600.
Depreciation is $92,275 with the new VoIP system. Indirect costs are budgeted at $88,460.
Overall the budget is up $24,880.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval. New telecom rates
for telecom users were implemented January 1, 2019, to better reflect and recover costs of
utilization of telecom resources in the county.

EXPENDITURE
A legal authorization granted by a legislative body to make
expenditures and to incur obligations for specific purposes. An
appropriation is usually limited in amount and as to the time
when it may be expended.
A bill, ordinance, resolution, or order by means of which
appropriations are given legal effect. It is the method by which
the expenditure side of the annual operating budget is enacted
into law by the legislative body. In many governmental
jurisdictions, appropriations cannot be enacted into law by
resolution but only by a bill, ordinance, or order.
An expenditure chargeable to an appropriation. Since virtually
all expenditures of governments are chargeable to
appropriations, the term expenditures by itself is widely and
properly used.
ASSESSED VALUATION A valuation set upon real estate or other property by a
government as a basis for levying taxes.
AUTHORITY
A government or public agency created to perform a single
function or a restricted group of related activities. Usually such
units are financed from service charges, fees, and tolls, but in
some instances they also have taxing powers. An authority
may be completely independent of other governments or
partially dependent upon other governments for its creation, its

A balanced budget occurs when the total sum of money a
government collects in a year is equal to the amount it spends
on goods, services, and debt interest.
A plan of financial operation embodying an estimate of
proposed expenditures for a given period and the proposed
means of financing them. Used without any modifier, the term
usually indicates a financial plan for a single fiscal year. The
term "budget" is used in two senses in practice. Sometimes it
designates the financial plan presented to the appropriating
body for adoption and sometimes the plan finally approved by
that body. It is usually necessary to specify whether the
budget under consideration is preliminary and tentative or
whether it has been approved by the appropriating body.

The instrument used by the budget -making authority to
present a comprehensive financial program to the
appropriating body. The budget document usually consists of
three parts. The first part contains a message from the budget -
making authority, together with a summary of the proposed
expenditures and the means of financing them. The second
consists of schedules supporting the summary. These
schedules show, in detail, the information as to past years'
actual revenues, expenditures, and other data used in making
the estimates. The third part is composed of drafts of the
appropriation, revenue, and borrowing measures necessary to
put the budget into effect.
A general discussion of the proposed budget as presented in
writing by the budget -making authority to the legislative body.
The budget message should contain an explanation of the
principal budget items, an outline of the government's
experience during the past period and its financial status at the
time of the message, and recommendations regarding the
financial policy for the coming period.
Accounts used to enter the formally adopted annual operating
budget into the general ledger as part of the management
control technique of formal budgetary integration.
Governmental GAAP financial reports must include
comparisons of approved budgeted amounts with actual
results of operations. Such reports should be subjected to an
independent audit, so that all parties involved in the annual
operating budget/legal appropriation process are provided with
assurances that government monies are spent in accordance
with the mutually agreed -upon budgetary plan.
The control or management of a government or enterprise in
accordance with an approved budget for the purpose of
keeping expenditures within the limitations of available
appropriations and available revenues.
Decreases in net current assets. In contrast to conventional
expenditures, budgetary expenditures are limited in amount to
exclude amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Due to
their spending measurement focus, governmental fund types
are concerned with the measurement of budgetary
expenditures.
Funds that are planned for certain uses but have not been
formally or legally appropriated by the legislative body. The
budget document that is submitted for Board approval is
composed of budgeted funds.

Expenditures for equipment, vehicles, or machinery that
results in the acquisition or addition to fixed assets.
A plan for capital expenditures to be incurred each year over
a fixed period of years to meet capital needs arising from the

or other contemplated expenditure in which the government is
to have a part and specifies the full resources estimated to be
available to finance the projected expenditures.
A fund created to account for financial resources to be used
for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities
(other than those financed by proprietary funds, Special
Assessment Funds, and Trust Funds).
Resources of a fixed or permanent character, such as land and
buildings, which cannot ordinarily be used to meet current
expenditures.
Form of financial instrument similar to a bond to facilitate lease/
purchase agreements. Not a debt of the County.

and recreation use.
A budgetary reserve set aside for emergencies or unforeseen
expenditures not otherwise included in the budget.
An appropriation which, once established, is automatically
renewed without further legislative action, period after period,
until altered or revoked. The term should not be confused with
INDETERMINATE APPROPRIATION.
Identification, accumulation and distribution of costs relative to
the provision of those services, along with the methods used.
Failure to pay principal or interest when due. Defaults can also
occur for failure to meet nonpayment obligations, such as
reporting requirements, or when a material problem occurs for
the issuer, such as a bankruptcy.
(1) The excess of the liabilities of a fund over its assets.
(2) The excess of expenditures over revenues during an
accounting period; or, in the case of proprietary funds, the
excess of expense over income during an accounting period.

DEPRECIATION
(1) Expiration in the service life of fixed assets, other than
wasting assets attributable to wear and tear, deterioration,
action of the physical elements, inadequacy, and
obsolescence.
(2) The portion of the cost of a fixed asset other than a wasting
asset which is charged as an expense during a particular
period. In accounting for depreciation, the cost of a fixed
asset, less any salvage value, is prorated over the estimated
service life of such an asset, and each period is charged with
a portion of such cost. Through this process, the entire cost of
the asset is ultimately charged off as an expense.
DIRECT COSTS Costs that have a clearly identifiable beneficial or causal
relationship to the services performed.
DURATION
The weighted maturity of a fixed -income investment's cash
flows, used in the estimation of the price sensitivity of
fixed -income securities for a given change in interest rates.

operation, and maintenance of governmental facilities and
services which are entirely or predominantly self-supporting by
user charges. The Crime Lab operates as an Enterprise Fund.

MILL LEVY (TAX RATE)
An appropriation which is not limited either to any definite
period of time or to any definite amount. A distinction must be
made between an indeterminate appropriation and a
continuing appropriation. In the first place, whereas a
continuing appropriation is indefinite only as to time, an
indeterminate appropriation is indefinite as to both time and
amount. In the second place, even indeterminate
appropriations which are indefinite only as to time are to be
distinguished from continuing appropriations in that such
indeterminate appropriations may eventually lapse. For
example, an appropriation to construct a building may be
made to continue in effect until the building is constructed.
Once the building is completed, however, the unexpended
balance of the appropriation lapses. A continuing
appropriation, on the other hand, may continue forever; it can
only be abolished by specific action of the legislative body.
Costs associated with, but not directly attributable to, the
providing of a product or service. These costs are usually
incurred by other departments in the support of operating
departments.
Amounts transferred from one fund to another.
Revenue received from another government for a specified
purpose. In Weld County, these are funds from municipalities,
the State of Colorado, and the Federal Government.
Funds used to account for the financing of goods or services
provided by one department to another department on a cost
reimbursement basis, for example, the Phone Services Fund.
Lean government refers to the application of lean production
(also known as "Lean") principles and methods to both identify
and then implement the most efficient, value added way to
provide government services.
A budget that lists each expenditure category (salary,
materials, telephone service, travel, etc.) separately, along

Any responsibility, action or procedure that is imposed by one
sphere of government on another through constitutional,
legislative, administrative, executive, or judicial action as a

MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS
NET BUDGET
NON -DEPARTMENTAL
OBJECT
OPERATING BUDGET
The accrual basis of accounting adapted to the governmental
fund type Spending Measurement Focus. Under it, revenues
are recognized when they become both "measurable" and
"available to finance expenditures of the current period".
Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is
incurred except for:
(1) inventories of materials and supplies which may be
considered expenditures either when purchased or when
used;
(2) prepaid insurance and similar items which need not be
reported;
(3) accumulated unpaid vacation, sick pay, and other
employee benefit amounts which need not be recognized in
the current period, but for which larger -than -normal
accumulations must be disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements;
(4) interest on special assessment indebtedness which may
be recorded when due rather than accrued, if approximately
offset by interest earnings on special assessment levies; and
(5) principal and interest on long-term debt which are
generally recognized when due. All governmental funds and
Expendable Trust Funds are accounted for using the modified
accrual basis of accounting.
The net budget eliminates double counting in the budget, such
as fund transfers, and thus represents the true level of
programmed spending in the budget.
A category established to account for expenses not associated
with any specific department, but all departments or many,
within a fund.
As used in expenditure classification, this term applies to the
article purchased or the service obtained (as distinguished
from the results obtained from expenditures). Examples are
personal services, contractual services, materials, and
supplies.
Plans of current expenditures and the proposed means of
financing them. The annual operating budget (or, in the case
of some state governments, the biennial operating budget) is
the primary means by which most of the financing acquisition,
spending, and service delivery activities of a government are
controlled. The use of annual operating budgets is usually
required by law. Even where not required by law, however,
annual operating budgets are essential to sound financial
management and should be adopted by every government.
OPERATING EXPENSES Proprietary fund expenses which are directly related to the
fund's primary service activities.
520
OPERATING GRANTS
Grants which are restricted by the grantor to operating
purposes or which may be used for either capital or operating
purposes at the discretion of the grantee.
OPERATING INCOME The excess of proprietary fund operating revenues over
operating expenses.
OPERATING TRANSFER Routine and/or recurring transfers of assets between funds.
ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT A responsibility center within a government.
ORGANIZATION UNIT
CLASSIFICATION Expenditure classification according to responsibility centers
within a government's organization structure. Classification of
expenditures by organization unit is essential to fixing
stewardship responsibility for individual government
resources.

Those elements of cost necessary in the production of an
article or the performance of a service which are of such a
nature that the amount applicable to the product or service
cannot be determined accurately or readily. Usually they
relate to those objects of expenditure which do not become an
integral part of the finished product or service such as rent,
heat, light, supplies, management, supervision, etc.
An organized set of related work activities which are directed
toward a common purpose or goal and represent a well
defined expenditure of county resources.
A budget wherein expenditures are based primarily on
programs of work and secondarily on character and object
class. A program budget is a transitional type of budget
between the traditional character and object class budget, on
the one hand, and the performance budget, on the other.
A fund used to account for business -type activities in
government. The activities are usually financed with user fees
that are directly related to the services received. There are
two types of proprietary funds - enterprise and internal service
funds.
Designations used by credit rating agencies to give relative
indications of credit quality.
A relapse into criminal habits after punishment.
A bond whose owner is registered with the issuer or its agent.
Transfer of ownership can only be accomplished when the
securities are properly endorsed by the registered owner.
REIMBURSEMENTS (1) Repayments of amounts remitted on behalf of another
party.
(2) Interfund transactions which constitute reimbursements of
a fund for expenditures or expenses initially made from it which
521
are properly applicable to another fund -- e.g., an expenditure
properly chargeable to a Special Revenue Fund was initially
made from the General Fund, which is subsequently
reimbursed. They are recorded as expenditures or expenses
(as appropriate) in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of
the expenditure or expense in the fund that is reimbursed.

Non -recurring or non -routine transfers of assets between
funds.
(1) Increases in governmental fund type net current assets
from other than expenditure refunds and residual equity
transfers. Under NCGA Statement 1, general long-term debt
proceeds and operating transfers -in are classified as "other
financing sources" rather than revenues.
(2) Increases in proprietary fund type net total assets from
other than expense refunds, capital contributions, and residual
equity transfers. Under NCGA Statement 1, operating
transfers -in are classified separately from revenues.
A municipal bond payable from revenues derived from tolls,
charges or rents paid by users of the facility constructed with
the proceeds of the bond issue.
Revenues are classified according to their source or point of
origin.
A fund used to account for revenues legally earmarked for a
particular purpose.
A specific line of work performed in carrying out a
governmental activity. For example, "cleaning luminaries" and
"replacing defective street lamps" would be subactivities under
the activity of "street light maintenance".
A grouping of related activities within a particular governmental
function. For example, "police" is a subfunction of the function
"public safety".
The use of the term "surplus" in governmental accounting is
generally discouraged because it creates a potential for
misleading inference.

TABOR (TAXPAYERS
BILL OF RIGHTS)
TABOR RESERVE
TAXES
An amendment to the Colorado Constitution approved by the
voters in November 1992. The Taxpayers Bill of Rights has
been incorporated in the State Constitution as Section 20 of
Article X. The amendment limits growth in both state and local
government revenue and expenditures, makes provision for
annual elections, and requires voter approval for tax
increases.
Term applied to a reserve which is required by the TABOR
Amendment. Starting in 1995 this reserve is 3% of "Fiscal
Year Spending" excluding bonded debt service. This reserve
is for use in declared emergencies only.
Compulsory charges levied by a government for the purpose
of financing services performed for the common benefit. This
term does not include specific charges made against particular
persons or property for current or permanent benefits such as
special assessments. Neither does the term include charges
for services rendered only to those paying such charges as,
for example, sewer service charges.
TAX LEVY The total amount to be raised by general property taxes.
TAX RATE
TAX RATE LIMIT
The amount of tax stated in terms of a unit of the tax base; for
example, 25 mills per dollar of assessed valuation of taxable
property.
The maximum rate at which a government may levy a tax. The
limit may apply to taxes raised for a particular purpose, or to
taxes imposed for all purposes, and may apply to a single
government, to a class of governments, or to all governments
operating in a particular area. Overall tax rate limits usually
restrict levies for all purposes and of all governments, state
and local, having jurisdiction in a given area.
TAX ROLL The official list showing the amount of taxes levied against
each taxpayer or property. Frequently, the tax roll and the
assessment roll are combined, but even in these cases the two
can be distinguished.
TRADITIONAL BUDGET A term sometimes applied to the budget of a government
wherein expenditures are based entirely or primarily on objects
of expenditure.
UNINCORPORATED COUNTY Those portions of the county that are not part of a legal entity
such as a city or some towns.
WELL PROGRAM Wellness health program provided as a fringe benefit to
employees.
WORKLOAD MEASURES Specific quantitative and qualitative measures of work
performed as an objective of the department.
