WHEREAS, the Town of Timnath has renamed the portion of County Road 13 within its jurisdiction as "Latham Parkway" and, therefore, the new naming designation will not include any portion of County Road 13 north of County Road 68.5. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that County Road 13 extending from County Road 2 north through Weld County to County Road 68.5, be, and hereby is, renamed as "Colorado Boulevard." BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Board that the Weld County Department of Public Works be, and hereby is, directed to add road signs at appropriate locations along said roadway identifying County Road 13, north through Weld County to County Road 68.5, as "Colorado Boulevard". cc.• (.

Recently , Weld County and Larimer County received a request from some of northern municipalities , such as Windsor, to name WCR 13 in the unincorporated areas of the county as Colorado Boulevard too . The intent being to maintain consistent roadway identification of this regional corridor between Windsor , Johnstown and the tri - cities in order to reduce concerns for emergency services personnel and communications . In addition , some residents along the unincorporated road segment between Crossroads Boulevard and U . S . 34 have indicated a preference to utilize the Colorado Boulevard name . This nomenclature would be consistent then for the majority of the county . However , it would not require residents with addresses already utilizing CR 13 to be modified unless they wanted to change it . The Town of Timnath has already Sii--#* " -H. namedportionsof their road segments t e seg e is ��.- of WCR 13 in their jurisdiction as Latham Parkway , so those segments . . \ 4 .

While the municipalities may address of the road in their jurisdiction,the county will also retain WCR 13, so I do not anticipate any addressing issues. This is similar to renaming the Parkway and Freedom Parkway. Upon approval, Public Works will add the additional naming sign to the intersections. This is similar to the Parkway and Freedom Parkway where it is overlaid onto the County Road addresses.

All, Based on correspondence exchanged earlier this year, both Larimer and Weld Counties have preliminarily indicated that the use of the street name Colorado Boulevard south of LCR 32E/WCR 68.5 to U.S. 34,where it will eventually connect to Colorado Boulevard in Johnstown (see attached illustration),would be acceptable. As has been discussed, maintaining this regionally recognized street name consistent between Windsor, Johnstown and the tri-cities to the south should reduce concerns for Emergency Services personnel and communications. We also have some local residents along the unincorporated road segment between Crossroads Boulevard and U.S. 34 that have indicated a preference to utilize the Colorado Boulevard name. The Town of Timnath has already named road segments north of LCR 32E/WCR 68.5 as Latham Parkway, so that northern segment will not be included at this time. We believe this would need to take the form of an intergovernmental agreement(IGA) between Windsor and both counties in order to rename those road segments that remain in unincorporated areas. Therefore, Windsor would like to move this proposed re-naming effort forward by preparing and circulating a draft IGA.
