FINANCIAL PLAN
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK
According to the Colorado Legislative Council staff economic forecast the N . S . and Colorado
economic activity is expected to continue to improve during the remainder of 2018 and 2019 .
The current economic recovery and expansion has reached the second longest on record . In
the late stages of expansion , both the national and state economies are feeling the constraints
of a tightening labor market. Employment growth continues to slow and wage pressures are
mounting . Workers are being lured back into the labor force by more attractive job offerings and
higher pay , fueling continued growth . However, the constraints of the tight labor market and
demographic drag from a larger share of the population moving into retirement will persist,
dampening longer-term business growth prospects.
Business activity continues to rebound , as indicated by further improvements in industrial
production , manufacturing activity, and exports . Stronger global economic activity will continue
to put upward pressure on commodity prices , supporting agricultural and energy industries. A
depreciating U . S . dollar and rising global demand will spur additional growth in U . S . exports.
However, geopolitical risk and trade policy uncertainty continue to pose downside risks to the
forecast.
The passage of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) has provided a boost to business
investment, which is expected to produce future productivity gains. Rising wages and tax cuts to
households are expected to support consumer activity in the near-term . However, the near-term
stimulus from the TWA could come at the cost of longer-term growth . Inflationary pressures are
mounting and signal increasing risk that the economy is overheating . Additional interest rate
hikes are expected to reign in inflationary pressures . However, the timing and pace of rate hikes
could cause shifts in investor holdings that kindle financial market volatility.
In Colorado, high housing costs will continue to constrain in-migration to the state , contributing
to an even tighter labor market. Unless wage gains can offset the rising cost of living , consumer
spending will slow.
Weld County and Northern Colorado continue to have one of the best performing economies in
the state . After weathering weakness in the oil and gas sector in 2016 , the regional economy
regained momentum in 2017 . The region added jobs at the fastest pace in the state, and the
unemployment rate continues to hover near historical lows. Population growth and a strong
labor market have boosted demand for housing and nonresidential real estate.
The labor market in Northern Colorado is the strongest in the state . Dependent on a broad base
4
of industries , the region 's two metropolitan statistical areas ( MSA), Fort Collins-Loveland and
Greeley, posted the fastest metro area job growth rates in the state, increasing 31 percent and
3 . 3 percent in 2017 , respectively . Employment growth rebounded in the Greeley MSA as energy
industries increased investment in the Denver-Juleburg Basin in response to stabilizing oil
prices. Area unemployment continues to fall as employment gains outpace growth in the labor
force. The Fort Collins-Loveland unemployment rate is the lowest among metro areas in the
state at 2 . 3 percent, while reeley's is not far behind at 2 . 5 percent.
Agriculture is one of the top industries in the county. The industry has struggled over the past
few years . An excess supply of agricultural commodity supplies has kept prices low. However,
an improving global economy and weak U .S. dollar have modestly increased commodity prices,
as demand for U . B . agricultural products has improved . New tariffs may adversely impact the
agricultural product demand .
Oil production in Weld County has dominated statewide production for over a decade. In 2017
and 2018 oil production levels have improved after a decline in 2016. Energy companies active
in the county significantly slowed their investments in 2015 and 2016 in response to low oil
prices , which has a lagged effect on production . While the number of active drilling rigs is only
about half the number that were operating in Colorado before oil prices collapsed , it is 95
percent higher than levels a year-ago . Natural gas production in the county has modestly
increased in 2017 and 2018 . Oil and gas production has picked up in 2018 .
The county's residential real estate market remains robust . A strong labor market, high net in-
migration to the region , and the availability of land for development have supported strong
demand for new residential construction . Residential construction in Weld County , which
declined in 2016 with the slowdown in energy activity , rebounded in 2017 , growing 16 .4 percent
from the prior year, and continues to recover in 2018 . Activity in the nonresidential construction
industry also fared well in 2017 and 2018 .
2019 BUDGET PLAN AND FOR THE FUTURE
Weld county's elected officials and manage team have demonstrated strong financial and
strategic leadership through challenging times. There has been a commitment by the leadership
of the county to create a vision for the future and carefully manage the resources required to
achieve the vision . This has established Weld County as a State and national leader in financial
stewardship , innovation and collaboration , economic and workforce development, and
community engagement and investment. The residents of Weld County benefit by this steadfast
adherence to the county's adopted financial management policies , and investment in
maintaining core programs and services .
Although the economy continues to thrive , and the oil prices have stabilized recently, ensuring
adequate and stable long-term funding for county programs and services will remain a
challenge . The reliance on the assessed value generated by oil and gas production in the
county requires continued caution when expanding ongoing operational costs , and ensuring an
adequate contingency reserve is maintained to deal with oil and gas price and production
fluctuations over time. County governments' reliance on federal and State funding bears careful
monitoring given the specter of election-driven policy changes and fiscal challenges at both the
State and federal levels that could result in funding cuts or further shift of program
responsibilities to counties without adequate financial resources.
Weld County residents rely on many important County provided health , public safety, economic
5
assistance services , and the county transportation system . Long-term financial issues such as
meeting the needs of the increased population in the county, growing transportation system
needs, capital projects, ensuring we do not defer major maintenance needs, the growing jail
inmate population , increased cost of health care, employee salary and benefits, and
economically sensitive revenue sources will continue to challenge our limited discretionary
resources. Careful assessment of existing services , diligent review of proposed services and
strategic decisions about the use of available resources will be vitally important over the next
few years to focus on effective and efficient service delivery and long-term financial stability .
The 2019 budget must continue to emphasize long-term planning and investment consistent
with the Weld County Strategic Plan and the Strategic Investment Plan for the Future of Weld
County . The 2019 budget must address : 1 ) investment in the long term ; 2 ) continue to
strengthen financial management; 3) improve county operations; 4) investment in technology ;
and 5 ) focus on employee engagement and workforce development.
Investment in the long term includes:
• Investment in the transportation system infrastructure as outlined in the Five-Year Public
Works Capital Improvement Plan addressing the strategic roads of the county and the
maintenance of the current road and bridge infrastructure .
• The Five-Year Capital Expenditure budget addresses facility needs of the county with a
major one being the $45 million jail expansion . In addition , the plan includes resources to
fund major maintenance to the general government buildings.
• Insure the long term sustainable funding for the Bright Futures program to help develop
the future workforce for Weld County .
Continue to strengthen financial management includes :
• Maintaining a healthy contingency reserve of $ 38 million to deal with economic
downturns and/or the volatility of oil and gas prices and production .
• Maintain a strong fund balance in the Public Works Fund to be able to respond to
emergency situations , such as the 2013 flood .
• Continue to plan to fund capital projects on a cash basis .
• Maintain a fully funded pension plan and move towards reducing the valuation interest
assumption from 6 .50% to 6 . 00% by 2020 .
• Continue the policy of no debt, no sales tax, and one of the lowest mill levies in the state.
Improve County operations includes:
• Continued deployment of Lean . The County began to use Lean , a continuous
improvement methodology in 2017 . Significant process improvements have been made
in many departments , including Motor Vehicle, jail booking , and Human Services
operations . The County's Lean efforts are evolving from a centralized group in
Information Technology to broader deployment throughout county departments involving
their own staff.
• Continue our success with the County's wellness program and other efforts to manage
employee health care costs .
• Continue to fund the innovation program for identified innovative programs in county
departments .
6
• Ongoing evaluation of best practices and maximizing the value of our county vehicle
fleet with the Fleet Services now being operated with in-house staff and management.
• Weld County has long been committed to being one of the best run governments in the
State and nationally by being a government that earns trust through effective
stewardship of resources, improved performance , and processes and results that create
positive outcomes for all Weld County residents. Further advancement towards the best
run government requires a strong focus on measurable results; collaboration with other
entities , customers, and partners in the community; engaged and innovative employees;
and continuous improvements in operations.
Investment in technology includes:
• Maintain a robust IT security framework that is built on industry best-practice .
• Embrace the spirit and potential value-add of Cloud Computing to allow the County to
leverage the potential increase in system availability, application stability, security , and
functionality of services associated with Cloud Computing .
• Consolidation and optimization of the network, voice , data center, enterprise applications
and storage environments to keep capital and operational expenses low , while still
providing a highly available and robust network and server environment.
• Provide for a Five-Year IT Capital Plan to keep the County's IT infrastructure state of the
art.
• Create an annual IT strategic planning process to ensure resources are available at the
appropriate time and the appropriate level in all areas of the county.
• Provide a mobile technology environment that is functional across all types of mobile
devices and operating systems to provide anytime/anywhere computing for the
appropriate job functions in Weld County.
• Develop and fund a five-year public safety IT capital improvement plan .
• Develop and fund a five-year capital improvement plan for the Weld County Regional
Communications Center.
Focus on employee engagement and workforce development includes:
• Invest in our workforce to encourage stronger employee engagement by creating a
workplace culture that allows current employees to develop and thrive , and as well as
attract and retain dedicated employees.
• Expand access to employee training and development. The county needs to expand
leadership training for managers and supervisors to build their capability for coaching
and developing employees , fostering continuous improvement, and modeling leadership .
• Create career pathways that better support employees' growth and development. An
example is the recent changes in the Sheriffs Office promotion and pay step policies.
• Give more employees opportunities to access training and development programs .
• Provide and support mentorship programs and programs to support emerging leaders
and provide for succession planning .
• Continue the invest in recruitment and retention programs for correctional officers.
• Where appropriate allow departments to implement flexible schedules to allow
employees to achieve a work/life balance while still providing appropriate hours of
service to customers and users .
7
• Plan ahead for the opening of an expanded jail by having correctional officers trained
and in place for the opening of the expansion in late 2020 .
In light of the challenges faced by departments, the 2019 budget development process must
continue to be a collaborative effort by staff, department heads, and elected officials. The strategic
plan , core values, and the financial policies of Weld County provide the cornerstone for the
financial plan to achieve the county's goals and objectives . The Board of Weld County
Commissioners provide the consistent leadership and fiscal oversight that maintains Weld
County's financial stability and reputation . In support of this fiscal management, the team of
department heads , elected officials , and finance staff provide the foundation of the system . The
Weld County team continues to mitigate challenging budget obstacles, the fluctuation of energy
prices , and the state and federal fiscal realignments to insure strong leadership and stewardship
of Weld County's long-term fiscal and operational integrity.

Capital Expenditures Fund : The Capital Expenditures Fund accounts for various capital
improvement projects for county buildings . The 2019 program is funded at $9 , 608 , 200 , with
$ 10 , 000 , 000 in property tax, $225 , 000 from capital expansion fees , $300 , 000 from interest and
fund balance reserve . Anticipated projects include $ 1 , 500 , 000 for a Public Works facility in
Johnstown , $ 1 , 200 , 000 for an addition to Public Works headquarters building , $900 , 000 for
Chase Building improvements , $ 190 , 000 for communications equipment, $500 , 000 to upgrade
the Human Services section of the Southeast Weld Building , and $2 , 300 , 000 to upgrade Human
Services Buildings , $ 1 , 300 , 000 for a coroner facility, and $ 1 , 718 ,200 for special projects . A carry-
over beginning fund balance of $3 , 000 , 000 is anticipated , and $3 , 916 , 800 ending reserve fund
balance for the future jail expansion ($2 , 560 , 800 ) , Communications System reserve ($850 , 000 ) ,
and Downtown Greeley land reserve ($500 , 000 ) is anticipated at the end of 2019 .
Debt Administration : The County continues to have no bonded indebtedness . The passage of
HB1579 , in 1981 , Section 30-35-201 , C . R. S . , now allows the debt ceiling to be three percent of
the assessed valuation of the county. Thus , Weld County maintains nearly a $350 million
allowable debt capacity in accordance with Colorado State statute . The 1997 Certificate of
Participation Bonds for the construction of the Correctional Facility were paid off on the call date
of August 1 , 2007 . Weld County currently has no debt of any type and is one of only a few local
jurisdictions in the nation that can make that claim .
Cash Management : Cash temporarily idle during the year will be invested in time deposits
ranging up to 180 days to maturity. Interest earned on investments of cash held by the County
Treasurer will be recorded as revenue in the General Fund , with the exception of interest
attributed to the Conservation Trust Fund , Insurance Fund , Capital Expenditure Fund , Trust
Funds , and the interest earned on certain deposits held for other taxing authorities . The amount
of interest anticipated in 2019 is $3 , 850 , 000 .
The County's investment policy is to minimize credit and market risks while maintaining a
competitive yield on its portfolio . Accordingly, deposits are either insured by federal depository
9
insurance or collateralized . All collateral on deposits is held either by the government, its agent,
or a financial institution 's trust department in the government's name .
Risk Management : During 2019 , Weld County will continue to be a member of Colorado
Counties casualty and Property Pool , therefore , all casualty insurance coverage is being provided
via pooling with other Colorado counties. The pool offers full safety and risk management
programs to minimize losses. Losses are funded on a self- insurance option basis. Worker's
Compensation will be provided via a state approved self-insurance program .
Mill Levy : The mill levy will drop to15 .038 mills. The assessed value for the 2019 Budget is
$ 11 ,549,499, 130 , which is up $2 , 324 , 538 ,420 or 25 . 20 percent over last year. The assessed
value for vacant land is down $10 .4 million , or 11 . 61 percent. Residential is up $70 .99 million , or
3 . 97 percent ; and commercial property is up $27 . 81 million , or 3 . 07 percent. Agricultural property
is up $2 . 72 million , or 1 . 30 percent; industrial is up $31 . 50 million , or 3 . 40 percent; natural
resources is up $3 . 62 million , or 19 . 10 percent; and State assessed property is up $24 . 15 million ,
or 2 .84 percent. The major increase is in oil and gas, up $2 .216 billion , or 48. 05 percent, which
is due to oil and gas prices and production being up . There is an actual value increase of new
construction of $2 . 693 billion , or 7 .69 percent.
Employee Compensation Pay : For the 2019 budget, a salary increase of 3 . 0 percent to Weld
county employees is included . Employees will get step increases for longevity and performance .
In addition to the recommended 3% cost of living for all county positions there is an additional 2%
increase for a total of 5% at a cost of $601 , 260 for all sheriff deputy and correctional officer career
positions to remain competitive with other law enforcement agencies in the area . The strategy
would be to do 5% salary increases in 2019 , 2021 , and 2021 to bring the positions to a more
competitive level for recruitment and retention of law enforcement positions in Weld County and
the Front Range of Colorado .
Health insurance rates will decrease 15 % for the employees and the county for 2019 . This will
mean over the last five years health insurance rates have dropped 11 . 8 % . Measures to control
health care costs, such as the wellness program , employee clinic, consumer driven plans , and
health reimbursement accounts have been making a positive impact on controlling the health
insurance costs for the county. Health coverage will be provided by Aetna 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 . No other benefit changes are
anticipated .
Fund Balances : County fund balances continue to► remain very healthy , with an anticipated
$95 , 190, 000 to begin 2019 . This is a slight drop from 2018 due to the funding of the $45 million
jail expansion , but still remains at one of the highest levels in many years . The strong fund
balance figures have been achieved through conservative budget practices and the high
assessed value from oil and gas revenues . The ending fund balances are projected at
$ 120,982 , 692 .. However, the ending fund balance is actually understated because $ 10 , 000 , 000
in the Contingency Fund is appropriated , thus not showing up in the ending fund balance figure .
The $ 10 , 000 ,000 is not anticipated to be spent in 2019, and if no emergencies or unforeseen
events happen , the amount should be in the ending fund balance . There is no fund balance
earmarked in the 2019 budget. All other fund balance amounts are undesignated . With the above
projection , ending fund balances should be $ 130 , 982 , 692 . The increase of approximately $36
million in the ending fund balance is primarily attributed to adding $ 32 . 0 million to the Contingency
Fund , nearly $ 1 million to the Capital Fund , and nearly $2 million to the General Fund 's fund
balance . The Contingency Fund also serves as a stabilization reserve for the fluctuating revenues
10
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
MAJOR FACTORS IMPACTING THE 2019 BUDGET
As Weld County begins 2019 the County is in excellent financial condition with no debt, no sales
tax , one of the lowest mill levies among all Colorado counties , a significant cash reserve , and a
fully funded pension plan . The major factors impacting the 2019 budget continue to be dominated
by the oil and gas development in Weld County , population growth , state and federal budget
issues , service restructuring in Weld County government, and the execution of the Strategic
Investment Plan for the Future of Weld County .
As has been the case for the last decade , growth and development activity directly, or indirectly,
related to oil and gas exploration seems to be the main economic driver in the majority of positive
economic activities in Weld County. The County has seen several compressor stations, injection
wells, new pipelines, and other oil and gas support and service industries seeking permits. Given
the commitments of large oil and gas companies in Weld County, the County seems primed to
see considerable long-term investment and development in the oil and gas arena . As discussed
earlier the volatility of the oil and gas assessed values continue to be a major impact to the
County's budget planning the last several years and will continue to be going forward with all the
long-term energy development planned in the county by energy companies.
Finally, the 2019 budget must continue to emphasize long-term planning and investment
consistent with the Weld County Strategic Plan and the Strategic Investment Plan for the Future
of Weld County . The 2019 budget must address : 1 ) investment in the long term ; 2 ) continue to
strengthen financial management; 3) improve County operations; 4) investment in technology ;
and 5 ) focus on employee engagement and workforce development.
The General Fund is funded at the level of $ 135 ,400 , 140 up $3 , 855,413 . The two major increases
are in general government, and salary increases . Without including adjustments for cost of living ,
and salary step increases, the budget for general government functions is up $2 , 545 , 147 . Motor
Vehicle is up $ 156 , 100 with the addition of two positions. The Assessor is up $ 180 , 377 due to
2019 being a reappraisal year and the addition of two new appraisers . Building and Grounds is
up $205 , 097 for an additional carpenter position and inflationary building maintenance costs .
Finance is up $ 138 , 861 to add a Budget Manger as pad of the succession planning in the
department. With the growth in the county workforce and the tight labor market for recruitment
and retention Human Resources in up $ 153 , 082 . Planning is up $337 , 712 for two mid-year
positions, and the additional chargeback from Engineering of $ 191 , 987 . The Election budget is
down $ 523 , 064 since there will only be a consolidated general election in 2019 .
Information Technology ( IT) is up $ 619 , 334 primarily due to increases in software maintenance
( $260 , 116 ), and computer equipment ($290 , 500 ). Charge backs in the contra account are down
$ 100 , 000 due to recent usage trends by grant funded departments. IT capital is funded in
accordance with the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan with $350 , 000 for computer equipment.
$500 , 000 is included for new technology and innovation projects , which is the same level as the
last five years .
Public Safety functions are up $ 108 , 988. However, if you adjust for the one-time expense for
communications equipment in 2018 of $3 , 738 , 985 Public Safety is up $ 3 , 907 , 843 . The overall net
Sheriffs Office recommended budget is up in net county costs by $2 , 011 , 324 or 4 . 62% . The
Sheriffs Office has requested a total increase of 16 .25 positions in 2019 . Other positions within
the sheriffs office are requested to be reclassified or moved to improve productivity instead of
11
eliminating positions . The purpose of the increase is to meet staffing shortages based on the
completed staffing studies of Patrol and Detentions as well as implement two new programs for
the agency . One program is the Body Worn Camera ( BWC) program , and the other is the
Southwest Substation Booking Intake . As a result, Sheriff personnel costs are up $ 1 , 5997 , 731 . In
addition to the recommended 3 % cost of living for all county positions there is an additional 2%
increase for a total of 5 % at a cost of $001 , 280 for all Sheriff deputy and correctional officer career
positions to remain competitive with other law enforcement agencies in the area . The strategy
would be to do 5% salary increases in 2019 , 2020 , and 2021 to bring the positions to a more
competitive level for recruitment and retention of law enforcement positions in Weld County and
the Front Range of Colorado . Supplies for the Sheriff are up $ 155 , 478 with $ 120 , 000 being for
MDT computer replacements . Purchased Services are up $404 , 165 for inmate medical care
($228 , 333) , records contract with the city of Greeley ($92 ,832), Body Worn Camera program
($85 , 000) and $88 ,000 for miscellaneous items. Capital is funded at $241 , 567 with the largest
expense being a body scanner for North Jail . Fixed costs are down $ 170 , 190 for retention
incentive payments. Revenues in the Sheriffs Office are up $273,400 primarily from grants.
Coroner' s budget is up $ 143 , 606 primarily for the addition of one Deputy Coroner positions mid-
year to deal with the office's workload , and autopsy costs. Communications is up $475 , 701 with
the addition of four dispatchers and three call takers due to E-91I call volume. However, the need
for the positions is being reviewed and may not be recommended in the final budget. The E911
Authority requested an increase in the E911 surcharge from 70 cents to $ 1 .20 per phone per
month to fund future capital needs. The State PUG approved the increase effective January 1 ,
2019. This will be in the E911 Authority budget but relieve the General Fund of these costs going
forward . Office of Emergency Management is up $ 185 , 659 for an addition EM Coordinator
position , and funds for a contractor to update the HazMat mitigation plan . Justice Services is
requesting two positions for the pretrial program and two for the work release program due to
growing caseloads to hold down the jail inmate population . Both programs are more cost effective
compared to jail incarceration . Other Public Safety budgets are stable with little or no increases.
Engineering is down $ 750 ,560 because the engineering and design fees have decreased for the
Weld County Road WCR 49 south corridor and WCR 49/47 north corridor in the 2019 budget.
General Fund 's subsidy to the Public Health Department is up $352 , 192 due to anticipated salary
step and cost-of-living increases. The County Fair is down $ 137, 850 with the elimination of
$ 127, 850 for a one-time expense for livestock panels, and $ 10 , 000 in one-time costs to celebrate
the 100th Anniversary of the Weld County Fair in 2018. An increase of $ 1 , 105 , 194 is included for
other General Fund departments' anticipated salary step and cost-of-living increases in 2019 .
Health insurance rates will decrease 15% for employees and the employer in 2019 . This will mean
health insurance rate decrease 11 . 8% in the last five years .
The budgeted appropriations for Public Works in 2019 total $63 , 369 , 925 down $ 19 ,439 , 001
primarily due the completion of the construction of the Weld Parkway (WCR47 and 49) in 2018 .
Municipal share back is funded at $3 , 373 , 000 . 2019 salary increases are for step increases due
to employees , and a 3 . 0 percent cost of living salary adjustment in this budget for a total of
$654 , 542 .
Other Public Works budget unit is budgeted at $21 , 584 ,431 based on the Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP). Personnel Services are up a total of $254 , 357 for five additional seasonal workers
($205 , 222) and $49 , 135 for cost of living for 52 seasonal employees. Purchased Services
decreased $25 ,350 ,401 primarily due to the completion the construction of the Weld Parkway
(WCR 47 and 49 ) in 2018 . There is $4 , 700 , 000 for the CR34/CR13 project, and $ 1 , 506 , 654 for
the joint project for CR 37/SH 52 . $4 , 000 , 000 for CR 29 from SH 15 to CR90 . $ 3 , 000 , 000 is
12
budgeted for the Haul Route Program (HARP). For flood related projects there is $2 , 600 , 000
(FHWA) for Bridge 53/58k Other contract payments are for seeding ($50 ,000 ), low volume roads
($2 , 000 ,000 ) , BMP projects ($ 100 , 000 ), $200 , 00 for the design of the CR 52 connector, $90 , 000
for the Poudre Trail , $250 ,000 for the Master Pollution Prevention Plan , $200,000 for Weld
Parkway maintenance, and bridge rehabilitation ($275 , 000 ) . Fixed Charges total $920 , 000 for
rights-of-way funded at $50, 000, and $870,000 for a CDOT project for Bridge 44/33A.
Trucking is up $350 , 000 to increase the number of weeks the contract trucks will be required to
haul . Mining operations increased $2 ,497, 973 for the purchase of surface gravel , and crushing at
the Hokestra Pit, and the North Pierce Diversion Channel . Gravel Road Management operations
are up $996, 508 primarily due to dust palliative material costs, the addition of four positions and
vehicles to increase road maintenance due to growth and energy traffic . Bridge Construction is
up $388 , 394 primarily due to increased tonnage and material costs. Pavement Management is
down $ 196 , 188 due to reduced material costs offset by increases for four positions and equipment
to create a concrete crew to maintain Weld Parkway . Other operating budgets for road and bridge
maintenance are funded at near the 2018 funding level . With some operational economies to
offset some of the inflationary costs the current service level should be able to be maintained with
the funding recommended .
The Weld County Department of Human Services continues to adapt to the Legislative and
Programmatic changes imposed by State and Federal levels . The funding for additional
caseworkers, originally funded through SB 15-242 continues into Fiscal Year 2018- 19 , providing
Weld County with funding for three additional positions , enabling the Department to assess and
meet the needs of the community in a more deliberate and thorough manner. Concerns have
been raised , both by counties and by the State of Colorado , as to the long -term sustainability of
these activities, once the IV-E Waiver period is completed . The passage of the Family First Act
provides a framework which may allow us to continue the creative practices we've implemented
in recent years, without jeopardizing funding . The passage of SB 18-254 provides both
opportunities and challenges in funding Child Welfare activities . Weld County is taking an active
role in mitigating the challenges associated with the substantial increases in provider
reimbursement that may result from the bill , while taking full advantage of the flexibility and
emphasis on permanency included in the bill . Likewise , HB 18- 1335 fundamentally transforms
the way Low-Income Child Care services are authorized and funded . Weld County will continue
to avail itself of all available resources to ensure that high quality care is available and
affordable to families, as we both recruit new providers and encourage development of existing
providers in the community.
The total Social Services Fund budget is $43 , 480 , 800 . The programs are funded by property
tax of $ 12 , 300 , 557 , state and federal funds of $31 , 686 , 679 , and the potential increase of fund
balance of $505 ,436 to cover both anticipated and unanticipated cost overruns .
The State of Colorado has recently adjusted its Broad -based Categorical Eligibility requirements
for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) from 130% to 200% of the Federal
Poverty Level . We are anticipating significant increases in both the benefits paid out to families
and the workload required of county eligibility staff, as a result. Likewise , the State recently
approved a 10% increase in the monthly Basic Cash Assistance benefit payments to recipients
under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program . This increase in
expenditures, combined with the existing pressures of providing supportive funding for Child
Welfare activities could mean a significant drain on the County TANF Reserves we've
accumulated in the past few years . We will be watching this closely in order to adjust our usage
of these funds for other purposes, such as Supportive Services and funding of Child Care
13
activities , in order to avoid full depletion of the Reserve balance . Approximately 25% of Weld
County residents are now enrolled in Medicaid .
The Department's focus on Prevention and Early Intervention continues and has resulted in a
more inter-divisional approach to evaluating , meeting , and funding the needs of clients. The
addition of a Family Resource Supervisor position will enable the Family Resource Division to
better organize its staffing structure and service delivery processes to better meet the needs of
the community .
The Human Services Fund is funded at $8 , 505 , 800 for 2019 , which is up $ 1 , 084 ,424 or 15 .02
percent from the previous year . There are shifts in funding by program . The Community Services
Block Grant is up $105 ,524 , and Senior Nutrition programs are up $240 , 864 . Department of Labor
programs are up $767, 100 . Area Agency on Aging is up $240 , 864 or 7 . 09 percent. These
programs are returning to the 2017 funding level , which is more typical than the 2018 funding
level was .
The Department of Public Health and Environment's total 2019 budget is $ 12 , 032 , 107 . The
Health Department' s 2019 budget continues to reflect the Department's commitment to
strong fiscal management, recruitment and development of a competent and engaged
workforce , elimination of redundancies by modernizing processes , and reinvestment of the
savings realized from these activities into targeted initiatives geared toward achieving the goals
of preserving , promoting and protecting the health and environment of current residents and
future generations in Weld County.
The 2019 budget continues to align with our department-wide 2016-2019 strategic plan that
focuses primarily on the key priority of integrating select core public health services in our
community to better achieve sustainability , enhance quality, and control costs. During the past
three years , the Health Department has been diligently working toward three strategic goals :
formal integration of health services into an established and enduring community system of
care ; supporting the community in addressing behavioral health issues , including mental health
and substance abuse; and increasing communication channels , both internally and within the
community, using technology and other means .
Consistent with our strategic goals, budgetary planning for 2019 continues to emphasize
funding technology additions and improvements in both our Greeley and Southwest Weld
locations , strengthening and supporting strategic activities and community partnerships focused
on behavioral health in our community , and expanding access to our services in convenient,
efficient, and effective ways to engage and support all citizens of Weld County while controlling
costs and meeting budget targets .
On the revenue side of the budget, property taxes are budgeted at $ 173 , 531 , 368 , the maximum
amount under the Weld County Home Rule Charter's property tax limitation and TABOR .
Revenue from interest earnings are up $ 1 , 500 , 000 at $ 3 , 500 , 000 for 2019 , as interest rates are
projected to increase in the next year. Intergovernmental revenues are up slightly by $245, 331 .
Charges for services are up $313 , 357 primarily from charges related to Communications and
sheriffs Office revenues . Fines from traffic enforcement are up $40 , 000 . Indirect cost recovery
is down $2 ,292 , 759 due to social services' allocation . Clerk and Recorder fees are up $400 , 000 .
All other revenues are relatively stable with little change .
The 2019 resources for Public Works total $ 108 , 690 , 797 , which includes a fund balance of
$45 , 000 , 000, in addition to the revenue shown in the budget . Property tax is set at $ 19 , 000, 000
14
up $2 , 500 , 000 from 2018 . Specific ownership tax is estimated to be $ 11 ,200 , 000 . Total HUTF
will be $ 10 , 700 , 000 , up $50 , 000 from 2018 . Permit revenues are budgeted at $550 , 000 . Motor
vehicle registration fees are $365 , 000 , and grazing fees are $500 , 000 due to energy development
in the Pawnee Grasslands . Oil and gas revenues are $9 , 500 , 000 . The Ieaselpurchase payment
from the Hoekstra Pit is $215 , 797 . There is $200 , 000 from Solid Waste for paving CR 28 , and
$ 100 , 000 reimbursement from the Town of Mead for CR 13 paving .
Other revenues from grant project reimbursements total $8 , 920 , 000 . There are Energy Impact
Assistance grants of $3 , 600 , 000 with $3 , 000 , 000 for the Tier 2 projects and $600 , 000 for three
Tier 1 projects. There are two state grants to finish Bridge 44/33A for $ 100 , 000 and Bridge 68/59A
for $50 , 000 . There is one flood project grant for Bridge 53/58A ($3 , 770 , 000 ). There is NFRMPO
funding of $ 1 , 000 , 000 , and UFRMPO funding of $400 , 000 . Severance tax is budgeted at
$ 1 ,400 , 000 . In accordance with the 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 2019 Budget contains adequate resources to provide a level of service like 2018 . The
operational plan supported by the 2019 budget maintains Weld County Government's
commitment to excellence and efficiency in carrying out our continued responsibilities to
taxpayers. First and foremost we will maintain the fiscal discipline and prudent use of resources
that have earned the County the excellent reputation it has for financial management with no
bonded indebtedness. The County will continue our commitment to the highest standards of
service , continuing to focus on improving service and communication with our citizens within our
resources. Demands in many areas continually exceed resources available . To serve the
growing needs in the county, we will continue to explore possibilities for improved efficiency while
maintaining excellence in service .
Many uncertainties face county governments like Weld County, as we operate in an environment
of constant change that has never been more apparent. The State of Colorado faces long term
structural budget issues and the federal government continues to wrestle with a major deficit
issue . Many tough decisions associated with implementation of programs, and how they are to
be funded , must be dealt with by the Board of County Commissioners with citizen input. Hopefully,
this budget document will allow the Board to make those difficult decisions to maximize the value
of the tax dollars of the citizens of Weld County.
As a final note , I want to acknowledge again the hard work and spirit of cooperation manifested
by the elected officials , department managers , and employees in recognizing the problems and
issues confronting the County and responding with creativity and understanding . The County, as
a whole , also recognizes the Weld County taxpayers who provide the economic resources to the
County , and we pledge our commitment to continue to provide the best in county services
possible .
Copies of all budget documents are available for the public at 1150 O Street, Greeley, Colorado .

We love being here , and we'd love having you here too !
Population: There are 32 incorporated municipalities in Weld County . The county seat and
principal city , Greeley , is located in the west central part of the county and contains
approximately 113 of the county's population . Generally , most of the remaining population
resides within a 20 -30 mile radius of Greeley; the northeastern part of the county is sparsely
populated .
Industry
Weld County leads the state in the production of sugar beets,
grains, beef and cattle . The county is also a leader in
the production of dry beans , potatoes, poultry and eggs , milk
and other dairy products. In fact, agriculture is so important in
the county that the Weld County Code includes a specific Right
•
to Farm Statement .
Also important to the county: the energy industry . Oil and gas
.444.0. An, .
activity has occurred for decades in Weld County , which is
e, tit located in the Denver Julesburg Basin and sits above the
Wattenberg Field .
16
The discovery in 1970 of the Wattenberg Field , which extends from
southern Wyoming and the Nebraska panhandle down along much of the
Colorado Front Range , initiated the first true oil boom in Weld County . Oil
and gas production within the county continued at a steady pace for several
decades. Then , in 2009 , a horizontally drilled well ( called the Jake well) i
surprised the oil industry by producing 50 , 000 barrels of oil in 90 days . .;L
Horizontal drilling has brought new life to the energy industry in Weld
county , and today, Weld has more oil and gas wells than any other county 'b : is: is t ,,, ,

The history of Weld County, which was established in 1861 when Colorado was still a territory,
is literally rooted in the land .
Weld County ranks number one in the state , and number nine in the country , in the value of
agricultural products sold almost $ 1 . 8 billion annually .
So how is this possible in a region that in 1821 , Major Stephen H . Long said would " never be fit
for human habitation and should remain forever the unmolested haunt of the native hunter,
bison and jackal " ? The answer is irrigation .
The Section No. 3 Ditch Company, which was incorporated in 1870 , is said to have been "the
first ditch in the United States built specifically to grow food . "
rr - In 1835 , a government expedition came through the
general area ; the next year a member of that party,
I Lt. Lancaster Lupton , returned to establish a trading
I I I
Pair , r
' post located just north of the present town of Fort
4 � � Lupton .
I+
`� �;` ' Iw In about 1837 , Colonel Ceran St. Frain established
i'' Fort St. Vrain ; Fort Vasquez was built south of
Ai _ Platteville in about 1840 . The latter was rebuilt in the
,L�
Twit-
1930s under the Federal Works Progress
y M
Y
I - Administration .
` The U . S . Congress took parts of the Territories of
Nebraska , Kansas , New Mexico and Utah to create the Territory of Colorado in 1861 . All parts
of Colorado lying east of Larimer County and north of the present Adams County were in the
original Weld county , one of 17 counties established by the first territorial legislature in
September, 1861 . Weld County was named for Lewis Ledyard Weld , the first territorial secretary ;
St. Vrain became the first county seat.
During the first 16 years of Weld county's history, the county seat was moved from St. 'Frain to
Latham (three miles east of present Greeley ) to Evans, to Greeley , to Evans again , and finally in
1877 , returned to Greeley.
A large segment of the Weld County region was settled by people of German descent who
migrated from Russia in the early 1900s. Originally they came as railroad workers, but many
soon worked in the productive beet fields and eventually became prosperous land owners . Weld
county's Spanish-surname population began to arrive during the midi 920s as laborers for the
sugar beet industry .
Weld County's sugar beet industry began with the building of sugar factories in Greeley and
Eaton in 1902 . In 1903 , another was built in Windsor, followed in 1920 by one at Fort Lupton
and another at Johnstown in 1926 .

TRENDS IMPACTING WE COUNTY
Energy Development
Although fossil fuel extraction in Weld County is as old as the County itself, in the last few
years Weld County has experienced the biggest oil and gas boom in its history . Weld County
has over 20 , 000 active wells — about 80 percent of the state's total — the greatest majority
located in the Wattenberg Field within the Niobrara Formation . The Niobrara Formation is a
geologic formation that is bountiful in fossil fuel reserves within the Denver-Julesburg basin ,
including nearly all of Weld County's 4 , 000 square miles. New technologies have made
extracting oil and gas through the tight shale that underlies the formation an economically
viable proposition . Energy companies are investing in new wells and infrastructure in Weld
County to tap into the estimated oil and gas reserve of as much as 1 to 1 . 5 billion barrels of oil-
equivalent in the Wattenberg Field . The production has translated into a boost for the local
economy, job creation , and tens of millions of dollars in property taxes and severance taxes for
local jurisdictions.
However, being the home to a sizable energy industry , Weld County faces some downside
risks from the recent slide in oil prices from over $ 100 a barrel in June , 2014 , to under $30 a
barrel a few months later. While drilling slowed , due to the oil supply-demand problem the
world faces , production in Weld County may continue to keep churning out big production
numbers . The reason being is that the wells in the Niobrara are in the "sweet spot" , where
break-even costs are $35 per barrel according to industry experts . Even if production holds or
declines slightly with the lower prices, the revenue generated from the wells will be lower
adversely impacting energy companies' revenues and the associated assessed values of
many Weld County local government entities, including Weld County government.
The additional production of oil and gas has resulted in significant increases in the county's
assessed value with the oil and gas production exceeding two-thirds of the county's total
assessed valuation in 2014 . Because of the volatility of production levels and price fluctuations
of the oil and gas production , the county must continue to prudently manage the increased
property tax base created by the energy development. In 2012 , the Board of Weld County
Commissioners approved the Strategic Investment Plan for the Future of Weld County . The
plan is a long term strategy of investment in the county's infrastructure , technology and
innovation , workforce training and development, economic development for diversification of
the local economy, and to establish a fluctuation reserve to deal with the volatility of the peaks
and valleys in energy prices and production . The energy production revenues have allowed for
lower property tax rates , which resulted in savings for all taxpayers in Weld County .
The drop in oil prices resulted in a significant drop in the county's assessed valuation in 2017-
2018 . Fortunately, Weld County government did not expanded core county services in the
good times, rather the county has focused on spending much of the additional tax revenues on
one-time infrastructure projects, investments in technology, and the accumulation of a sizable
cash reserve to weather the down times until the oil prices stabilize . Lower oil prices are
prompted energy companies to slow down their drilling , and concentrate mostly on the
moneymaker wells . The adverse effects of low oil prices reach beyond those involved directly
in the extraction business. Manufacturers supplying the necessary equipment had lower
demand for their product. The housing and retail sectors of the area may also be impacted by
the energy slowdown . In 2017 the price and industry recovered as prices stabilized in the $60-
$66 per barrel range .
28
Energy Development
continued
The county and energy industry have forged a relationship that is one of cooperation . The most
significant impact of energy development has been on the county transportation system . The
system originally designed to serve farm-to-market routes has been inundated by trucks
servicing oil and gas wells . The county has worked closely with the energy industry to stay
proactive in its approach to road maintenance and improvements. The county has embarked on
its Haul Route Program ( HARP) to improve road impacted specifically by oil and gas
operations. The program has been developed in conjunction with the energy industry to identify
haul routes that need to be improved to access new drilling sites . In addition , the county has
constructed a 20 mile five-lane concrete corridor on Weld County Road 49 (Weld Parkway)
between 1-76 and US Highway 34 in 2016-2017 to accommodate the growth in the area and
heavy truck traffic from the energy industry. The last phase of the project on WCR 47 was
completed in 2018 .
The energy industry will face future challenges from stricter state and federal restrictions, such
as the new well setback rules , and ground water testing . The county will need to continue its
partnership with the industry to insure that good public policies can be achieved to continue to
take advantage of the energy development opportunities in Weld County.
Demographic Changes
As growth has occurred the demographics of Weld County have changed . The Weld County
population is much more diversified than it was even a decade ago as in migration has added
to the ethnic/cultural diversity with the growing Latino population , and there is immigration from
all parts of the world . Weld County's changing demographics are evident in the shift from a
rural character to an increasingly urbanized population . Land use patterns are changing . The
political make up of the population will most likely change . The age of the population is shifting
in Weld County, as it is nationwide with the aging baby boomers.
The county now has centers of population outside of the Greeley area , as the Windsor-
Severance area and Southwest Weld County area continue to grow. The state demographer is
projecting by 2040 the Southwest Weld County population center could approach 250 , 000 .
This area will also blend with the Denver metropolitan area resulting in the loss of a specific
community identity . All these demographic changes impact the kind of services provided , the
manner in which they are provided , and the service levels . It will fall upon Weld County's
elected officials and managers to find more creative and innovative solutions to better use the
limited resources of the county to maximize delivery of services to the more diverse citizenry of
Weld county.
29
innovation and Technology
The pace of change in our world is accelerating exponentially. This dynamic is challenging
all of us as individuals and as organizations, and shows no sign of abating , and in fact,
continues to intensify. Fueled by technological advances, we are quickly changing and
reshaping all aspects of our lives from how we live and work to how we share information
and communicate . These technological advances in many ways are fundamentally
changing the public's expectations of, and relationship to , their government.
Weld County must continue to achieve operational efficiency through continuous efforts to
improve and innovate, thereby maximizing value for taxpayers . By continuously working to
improve the quality, efficiency , and cost effectiveness of its services , county staff will
maximize value for taxpayers and increase the ability to meet emerging public needs while
living within our financial resources. Weld County must continue to draw on the expertise of
its workforce to take advantage of new ideas and tools to improve service delivery and
operational efficiency.
Investing in technology and innovation will continue to be a priority in Weld County. The
mission of the Weld County Information Technology ( IT) Department is to provide
responsive, adaptive, transformative , innovative, and cost-effective information technology
solutions and services. This assists county departments and offices to successfully
achieve their objectives. IT will assist with the implementation and support of technology
solutions empowering the citizens of Weld County to access information and mission critical
services in a comprehensive , responsive and effective manner. IT is one of the common
threads that enables the county's business units and offices to accomplish their respective
missions . While IT is an essential , foundational element for the county to provide certain
services, IT is also a catalyst for business innovation . The business units and offices identify►
goals that can be enabled by IT; and IT can present new technologies that prompt business
units and offices to reconsider how they deliver services.
The County must be the center of information services innovation for advancing the delivery
of county services, anytime and anywhere . The County must be continually focused on
providing superior information services to support the multitude of county services and
programs we offer. The County's goal is to provide a reliable , secure , integrated information
services environment that meets not only today's needs for communication and business
efficiency, but positions the county to leverage new technology innovations , such as cloud
services, and best practices for business transformation and improved service delivery in
the future .
Departments throughout Weld County government need to find ways to deploy new
technology tools to expand employees' flexibility, allowing them to become more productive
and better serve our customers in the community. This means changing the way we design
county services by continually looking for more opportunities to streamline operations and
by addressing public needs in innovative , comprehensive ways. It may mean we have to
change how we communicate with the public we serve by expanding the services and
information the public can find online and through social media .
30
Transportation
The most obvious need for future investment in Weld County , which allows for dealing with the
direct impact of the oil and gas development, and accommodating the future growth in the
county, is in the long-term investment in the road and bridge infrastructure . Growth in the
county has put an ever increasing demand on the county's infrastructure . The growth has
increased the use of county roads and created congestion on many county roadways which
need to be mitigated . Although the county has made tremendous progress the last thirty years
in improving the overall condition of county roads and bridges, the growth is adding a whole
set of new problems . The character of many county roads in the Greeley-Windsor area and
southwest part of the county has changed from rural roads to urbanized roads due to the
traffic volume demanding a higher capacity and level of service .
While the economic stimulus of the energy industry and resulting growth in the County 's
assessed value is positive , the downside is that the County will have to add significant
resources to the Public Works budget over the next five years to address safety issues and
improve roads impacted by the oil and gas industry' s heavy hauling due to new exploration . In
recent years funds have been added to the Public Works budget to deal with the Haul Route
Program ( HARP) to accommodate the energy development impacts. The Weld County 2035
Transportation Plan summarizes existing transportation conditions and recommends policy ,
funding and roadway development for Weld County through the 2035 planning horizon . The
transportation plan takes the condition of the current transportation system and uses county
land use forecasts and regional travel demand models to outline a plan that will develop and
maintain a safe and efficient roadway network in Weld County long-term . The plan strives to
improve the movement of people and goods to all Weld County communities by enhancing
regional arterial roadways .
The total projected costs identified in the Weld County 2035 Transportation Plan are over
$400 million . When the plan is broken down into ten -year time increments, the short-term
(2011 -2016 ) amount is $39 . 8 million , mid-range (2015-2025) $ 178 million , and long - range
(2025-2035 ) $ 186 .4 million . Prior to 2013 , many of the projects in the Weld County 2035
Transportation Plan were unfunded in the budget projections for future years . This changed
with the Strategic Investment Plan for the Future of Weld County . In approaching the funding
requirement, it will require another $ 10 million going into the Public Works Fund from property
taxes , raising the property tax level to $ 16.5 million from 2015-2018 , and $ 19 million in 2019 .
The additional property tax investment in the transportation system , together with the
anticipated federal mineral leasing dollars, severance tax from energy development , and
transportation impact fees , will add many of the necessary resources to fund the Weld County
2035 Transportation Plan . Besides these resources, the funds will also help provide matching
funds to leverage grants from the Energy Impact Assistance program and NFRMPO and
UFRMPO to fund projects in the Weld County 2035 Transportation Plan .
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 in the county. A significant long-term project has been the capital improvements
to the WCR 49/47 Corridor , south from SH 34 to 1-76 and north from WCR 60 . 5 (SH 263 ) to
SH 392 over the period of 2014-2018 requiring over $25 million per year to fund the road
improvements.
31
Economic Development
The goal of economic development in Weld County is to create and maintain a healthy and
sustainable economy that creates wealth , preserves the quality of life and improves the
standard of living for county residents. To accomplish this the county and our economic
development partners must locus on facilitating and attracting investment, creating new job
opportunities , stimulating growth and expanding the county tax base . To increase the number
and quality of business enterprises and primary or basic jobs in Weld County, the economic
development efforts must focus on enterprises that export goods and services outside the local
economy to regional , national , and international clients and , in turn , creating an inflow of capital
into the local economy . With a strong agricultural economy complemented by several value
added processing companies, like JIBS and Leprino , and the energy industry, the county has a
strong economic foundation upon which to build .
Weld County is pro-growth and has a healthy economy . It has a diverse workforce , room to
grow, and easily accessible transportation in regards to roadways and railways. Weld County
has seen recent growth in certain industries such as oil and gas exploration and production and
renewable energy technology and development. It offers proximity to urban areas while
maintaining its agricultural base and protecting water resources . The communities of the county
have a small town feel , but still have also seen rapid growth in population and land
development. There are also established retail centers and service centers . All of these
features create a good economic development environment to attract new businesses.
Working with economic development partners, such Upstate Colorado Economic Development,
Small Business Development Centers , Colorado Enterprise Fund , and state agencies , Weld
County has many economic development incentives to offer and tools to assist existing and
new businesses. The county offers a personal property tax incentive program , small business
incentives, Larimer/Weld Business Revolving Loan Fund , and Colorado Enterprise Loan Fund .
Portions of the county are designated as an Enterprise Zone under the state program . Other
state incentives and jobs program are available for businesses looking to locate and expand in
Weld County . In addition to the programs cited in 2016 , the county established through property
tax credits and donations, a Brighter Weld County Scholarship Program for all Weld County
high school graduates for enhanced workforce development .
The County must have the long -term vision to diversify the economic base and assessed value
base of the county to become less dependent upon oil and gas assessed values . Investment in
economic development for the diversity of the local economy will lay a solid foundation for long-
term economic growth in the county and allow Weld County to be competitive in retaining and
attracting quality companies and a labor force to support those companies. Innovative
economic development initiatives must bring together the synergy that Weld County has , such
as, no sales tax, low property tax rates, leveraging of oil and gas assessed value to nurture
other economic development, use of the natural gas and wind power in the area to provide low
cost electricity, and having an infrastructure that is strategically situated for the location of
businesses and high technology installations of the future . To accomplish long-term economic
prosperity and maintain the county' s strong fiscal health , Weld County must use its financial
resources to drive innovation to foster more productive , inclusive , and sustainable growth by
better use of the assets and creativity of the county and our private partners . This could mean
looking at current economic development incentives , such as personal property tax credits, and
providing infrastructure to accommodate new companies in innovative and creative ways. Weld
County is fortunate that it has the financial resources to initiate , direct, and implement
innovative economic development ideas when the opportunities present themselves.
32
CountyGovernment Financial Trends
Adherence to conservative and prudent fiscal management practices have enabled Weld
County to maintain balanced budgets and stable reserves, implement proactive strategies to
manage county programs , avoid debt entirely through cash financing of capital projects and
provide core services to residents. The county's financial discipline has enabled us to embrace
the changes that are reshaping all aspects of our lives — from how we live and work to how we
share information and communicate — in many ways fundamentally changing the public's
expectations of, and relationship with , government.
There are a number of future issues and concerns that will be impacting Weld County' s budget
in subsequent fiscal years. Some of the issues are shared by many local governments, such
as the staters structural budget issues long term , federal debt, ever increasing healthcare
costs , and growing citizen service demands. Unique to Weld County is the continued impact of
oil and gas development touching on many aspects of Weld County currently, and in planning
for the future . The energy development presents both challenges and opportunities for Weld
County government. As has been the case for the last six to seven years , growth and
development activity directly , or indirectly , related to oil and gas exploration seems to be the
main economic driver in the majority of positive economic activities in Weld County . Given the
commitments of the large oil and gas companies in Weld County , the county seems primed to
see considerable long-term investment and development in the oil and gas arena . Although
the future of energy development in Weld County appears bright, it is not without risks. Oil and
gas production in Colorado has risks associated with the potential of more government
regulations and voter initiatives trying to restrict or limit fracking in Colorado communities.
These regulatory risks , if implemented , could dramatically impact future oil and gas
development in Colorado .
The volatility of the oil and gas assessed values continues to be a major impact to the
county's budget planning . The dramatic drop in oil prices due to global supply and demand ,
beginning in late 2014 , shows the vulnerability the county faces due to the high percentage of
assessed valuation tied to oil production and prices. Because of the volatility of production
levels and price fluctuations of the oil and gas values, the county must continue to prudently
manage the property tax base created by the energy development . in February , 2012 , staff
developed , and the Board of Weld County commissioners approved , the Strategic Investment
Plan for the Future of Weld County , with the purpose of providing an analysis of the optional
uses of the projected property tax revenues from the new oil and gas development in Weld
County . The option selected was to develop a long-term strategy of investment in the County's
infrastructure, technology and innovation , workforce training and development, economic
development for diversification of the local economy, and to establish a fluctuation reserve to
deal with the volatility of the peaks and valleys in energy prices and production .
The County's budget must continue to reflect a multi-year strategic approach to managing
county resources within the ongoing challenging economic environment. The primary goals of
this strategy are to preserve core services, maintain the commitment to the county's capital
program , and accommodate the impacts of the energy development in Weld County. The
county has been able to accomplish these objectives while adhering to its fund balance and
reserves policy that specifies that a large contingency fluctuation reserve be maintained as a
buffer for unexpected fiscal events and the fluctuation of oil and gas assessed values. The
county's proactive management of its cost structure using this multi-faceted approach is
assurance of its commitment to maintaining fiscal health and stability.

2019
BUDGET STRA
The budget strategy uses proven methodologies of dealing with past budgets and looking at future
strategic approaches . The budget is based upon the following assumptions and approaches:
No local property tax initiative will be approved by the voters and the 15 . 800 mill
levy cannot be raised without political fallout in these economic times.
In the 2019 budget request, any net county cost increase in a budget unit
must be offset with a corresponding decrease in a department's total budget.
\Ai> Unless a change is legally mandated , the county's share of partnership programs
will not increase , it will decrease wherever possible . County dollars will not
displace federal or state reductions .
Program funded with state and/or federal allocation increases must be able to have
a sustainability plan when staff or program costs are increased or be prepared to
reduce staff or program costs , if the allocation declines.
Program managers and the public will be made aware of the proposed service
reductions as soon as possible .
Early warning sessions will be held in September addressing budget issues
identified early in the process.
All county departments and offices will receive a set target amount for 2019 before
budget preparations begin .
A target of ten percent off the 2018 budget base will be uniformly applied to
all budget units .
Fringe benefits will be left at the current level of benefit.
No salary adjustments will be included in the requested budget. The Board will
determine any salary adjustments above the 2018 level in the Final Budget
process. Any Department Head or Elected Official justifying to the Board a higher
salary for a class unique to that department or office should include the additional
salary within the assigned target budget amount.
Any 2019 classification upgrades will be treated like new position requests in the
budget process, with the department funding any requests within the target
amount.
There will not be any recommended increases in staff in the recommended budget
to the Board . Increased workload will be absorbed by existing personnel wherever
possible through increased productivity.
55
Outside agencies that provide contractual services will be treated like county
departments .
New or expanded mandates will be absorbed within the 2019 target amount by all
budget units.
Additional program options outside the overall budget plan will be proposed for
Board consideration . Staff will explore the options as directed by the Board , and
these options will be topics of discussion at the public work sessions and hearings.
Self-supporting budgets will float at the 2018 funding levels .
A review of all discretionary programs will be done by the Department Head or
Elected Official and the Board .
All vacant positions in 2019 will follow the "sunset review" process to determine if
the position needs to be filled .
Resources for new activities will come from increased productivity and termination
of existing activities wherever possible . No new non- mandated programs will be
proposed without proportionate cutbacks in other programs.
All user and service fees will be examined and recommendations made for
increases or other adjustments to match the cost of providing such services.
As 2019 budget requests accommodate or are integrated with long term program
strategies , they will be highlighted .
The budget strategy will permit Weld County to cope with the new fiscal and program challenges
faced in 2019 , while accomplishing a balanced budget. The 2019 budget must be structured to
attempt, within available funds , to ensure that:
Basic services are funded at adequate levels.
Revenue has been estimated at realistic levels.
Reserves that afford protection for the future are funded .
�\ Productivity improvement programs are continued .
Employee compensation levels are based upon realistic employment market
considerations and within the county's ability to pay.
TABOR Amendment limits will be adhered to in the budget.
Legislative and regulatory changes are accommodated .
Technologies are employed in cost effective manners in the county.
56
Population growth and development is planned for and accommodated .
New initiatives associated with the human capital management strategies are
accommodated .
Investment in the transportation system infrastructure as outlined in the Five-Year
Public Works Capital Improvement Plan addressing the strategic roads of the
county and the maintenance of the current road and bridge infrastructure .
�\ Continue the initiatives required to foster area economic development and to
improve the quality of life .
Provide for long term capital planning for facilities, information technology , and
communications infrastructure .

EXPLANA EXPLANATION OF OVERVIEW OF
BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Budgeting , at best, is an inexact science. It can be both precise and unyielding as numbers tend
to be , or as flexible as priority changes dictate . In the end , the goal of Weld County's budgeting
process is to produce a "user friendly" document, designed to enhance policy makers' , managers' ,
and citizens' understanding of major issues, resource choices , and impact of the total budget .
The budget is not only a financial plan , but a policy document, operational guide , and
communication device.
As a financial plan , Weld County's budget includes all funds, presents a summary of historical
and projected revenues and expenditures, describes major revenue sources , underlying
assumptions and trends, and includes projected changes to fund balances.
As a policy document, the budget includes a budget message articulating strategic priorities ,
describes budget and financial policies , and addresses long-term concerns and issues .
As an operations guide, the document includes an organizational chart(s ) , provides authorized
personnel schedules, describes departmental services or functions, and includes goals and
objectives.
As a communications device , the budget includes a summary of budgetary issues, trends , and
resource choices, explains the impact of other plans or planning processes , describes the
preparation , review, and adoption process , includes a demographics or community profile section ,
and contains a table of contents and glossary of terms.
The budget and management system begins with community assessments that take the form of
formal assessments, such as those done by the Health Department and Social Services, surveys ,
town meetings, citizen input, and various forms of input from citizen advisory boards . Based upon
the community assessments , policy formulation is done by analyzing community needs,
developing county-wide goals, assessing prior year program performance , reviewing policy
alternatives, establishing priorities, and fiscal policy . A spin off of the policy formulation is the
creation of a capital improvements plan and long range plan .
Program planning at the department level follows policy formulation . All departments assess their
programs, explore alternatives , design and define existing and new programs , develop program
objectives, and relate present operations to the programs planned . The budget is then based
upon the program , performance , and periodic program review. This process allows for the
allocation of resources by program area and multi-year projections . The programs are then
evaluated on an on-going basis through program analysis, review of performance, and an
examination and evaluation of alternatives. This input then cycles into the policy formation
process for a new budget cycle .
59
The budget and management system is supported by the Banner Accounting System , fiscal
control and cost accounting by program , and workload and performance management systems
and reports .
In summary, Weld County' s budget process is virtually a year-around process, combining months
of planning , analysis, program and policy review, and constant monitoring . The adopted budget
asserts Weld County's commitment to meet or exceed the community's highest priority
expectations at the lowest possible cost to citizens. In the end , the budget represents a balance
between the political process represented by citizen input, polio makers , county departments and
offices, and teamwork .
The following two pages show the process graphically .

BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING BASIS :
The Weld County budgetary procedure uses the following Basis of Accounting . Basis of Accounting refers
to when revenue and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements.
Basis of Accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus
applied .
The governmental funds and expendable trust funds utilize the modified accrual basis of accounting . Under
this method revenue is recorded in the year in which it becomes both measurable and available as net
current assets. "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available"
means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period .
Revenue susceptible to accrual , that is , measurable and available to finance the county's operations , or of
a material amount and not received at the normal time of receipt , primarily consists of 1 ) state highway
users tax; 2) property taxes , assessed in 2018 , payable in 2019 , and 3) various routinely provided services
(health department). Unbilled charges for services are recorded in the appropriate funds at year end .
Expenditures are generally recorded when the related fund liability is incurred .
Proprietary funds follow the accrual Basis of Accounting whereby revenue is recognized in the year in which
it is earned and becomes measurable . Expenses are recorded when liabilities are incurred . Due to
Colorado legal requirements, capital expenses are budgeted and appropriated in the Proprietary Funds.
64
BUDGET ADOPTION:
An annual budget and appropriation ordinance is adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in
accordance with the Colorado State Budget Act and Weld County Home Rule Charter. The budget is
prepared on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for all governmental ,
proprietary and expendable trust funds . The accounting system is employed as a budgetary management
control device during the year to monitor the individual departments (level of classification which
expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations). All annual appropriations lapse at year end .
The Director of Finance and Administration is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within departments
of each fund . Any revisions that alter the total appropriation for each department must be approved by the
Board of County Commissioners through a supplemental appropriation ordinance.
AMENDMENT TO BUDGET PROCESS:
Section 29- 1 - 111 , C . R . S. , provides that, if during the fiscal year, the governing board deems it necessary,
in view of the needs of the various offices or departments , it may transfer budgeted and appropriated monies
from one or more spending agencies in the fund to one or more spending agencies in another fund and/or
transfer budgeted appropriated monies between spending agencies within a fund .
Section 2g- 1 - 111 , C . R . S. , provides that, if during the fiscal year, the governing body or any spending
agency received unanticipated revenue or revenues not assured at the time of the adoption of the budget
from any source other than the local government's property tax mill levy, the governing board of the local
government may authorize the expenditure of these unanticipated or unassured funds by enacting a
supplementary budget and appropriation .
Supplementary budget and appropriations require a two-thirds majority vote by the Board of County
Commissioners .
PROPERTY TAXES:
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1 . Taxes are levied no later than
December 15 and are payable the following year in two installments on February 28 and June 15, or in full
on April 30. The county, through the Weld County Treasurer, bills and collects its own property taxes as
well as property taxes for all school districts , cities and towns and special districts located within the county.
In accordance with Section 14-7 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter, all ad valorem tax levies for county
purposes , when applied to the total valuation for assessment of the county, shall be reduced so as to
prohibit the levying of a greater amount of tax revenue than was levied from ad valorem taxation in the
preceding year, plus five percent (5% ), except to provide for the payment of bonds and interest. The Board
of County Commissioners may submit the question of an increased levy to the County Council and , if in the

electors at a general or special election per Section 14-8 of the Weld County Home Rule Charter.
With the passage of Amendment One (TABOR) effective November 4, 1992 , the mill levy cannot be
increased above the prior year mill levy, except by a vote of the people . In addition , the growth of property
tax revenue cannot exceed the prior year amount plus inflation plus net new construction , without voter
approval .

L • NG TERM FINANCIAL
PLANNING POLICIES
Balancing the Operating Budget: The State of Colorado's constitution requires all local
governments to annually adopt a balanced budget. Balanced budget means expenditures cannot
exceed available resources. No debt financing of the operational budget is permitted . Weld
County's policy is that under no circumstances will Weld County adopt a budget that is not
balanced , even if the constitutional requirement is lifted .
Long Range Planning : The Board of County Commissioners has adopted countywide strategic
goals . The recommended budget shall , to the extent possible, based upon available resources,
be consistent with the goals and objectives of the county's strategic goals. The process shall
involve identifying several critical areas which have or are expected to have an impact on the
financial condition of the county over the next five years . Once the critical issues are identified ,
specific goals and objectives will be developed along with an implementation
plan by impacted departments.
Long Term Financial Forecast: Annually prepare a five-year forecast that maintains the current
level of services, including known changes that will occur during the forecast period . If the forecast
does not depict a positive operating condition in all five years of the forecast , the county will strive
to balance the operating budget for all years included in the five-year financial forecast.
Long Term Budget-to-Actual Trends : Annually evaluate trends from a budget-to-actual
perspective and from a historical year-to-year perspective to identify areas where resources have
been over allocated . This will improve the accuracy of revenue and expenditure forecasts by
eliminating the impact of recurring historical variances.
Asset Inventory: An inventory of capital needs will be maintained by the Director of Finance and
Administration . The inventory shall include the identified needs, a list of projects, their cost
estimates , and project timetable for funding , acquisition or construction . The recommended
budget shall include a capital budget and a five-year capital plan with a balanced financial base
for renewal , replacement, and new projects. The capital budget shall be adequate to maintain
capital assets at a level sufficient to protect infrastructure and minimize future maintenance and
replacement costs.
Revenue Diversification : Weld County encourages a diversity of revenue sources in order to
improve the County' s ability to handle fluctuations in individual revenue sources year to year and
long-term . Due to the high percentage of oil and gas assessed values, Weld County also
encourages the diversification of revenues for long range planning to minimize the dependence
of the County's budget on oil and gas revenue fluctuations in production and price , and long range
depletion of the resource in the County .
Fees and Charges : Unless fees or charges are established by state law or contractually, Weld
County will establish fees for goods and services at full cost recovery, including direct and indirect
costs , where the user of the goods or services has the ability to pay . All fees will be reviewed
periodically to insure that they are still appropriate. Fees will be available for the public and
adopted by code in public meetings .
Use of One-Time Revenues : Weld County has a policy discouraging the use of one-time
revenues for ongoing operational expenditures . The highest priority for one-time revenues will be
70
to fund assets or other non- recurring expenditures, or to put the one-time revenues in a reserve
fund .
Debt Capacity, Issuance, and Management: To the extent possible , Weld County will pay cash
for major projects rather than borrowing . Any existing debt will be retired at the earliest possible
time during the life of the debt unless circumstances change significantly. Weld County's debt
level per Weld County's Home Rule Charter and state law cannot exceed three percent of the
current assessed value of the county. The current debt capacity is approximately $300 million .
Debt under the debt limit includes all financial obligations over one year in duration , e .g . general
obligation bonds , revenue bonds , certificates of participation , notes , lease purchase agreements ,
letters of credit, revenue warrants , long term lease obligations, or any other multiple-fiscal year
direct or indirect debt or other financial obligation . Obligations for pension plans are excluded
under Colorado state law .
Stabilization Funds : Weld County maintains a prudent level of financial resources in the form
of a contingent reserve , plus adequate fund balances for cash flow, to protect against the need to
reduce service levels or raise taxes and fees due to temporary revenue shortfalls or unpredicted
pre d i cted
one-time expenditures . See fund balance policy in the policy section of the Budget Message for
more details.
Operating/Capital Expenditure Accountability: A budgetary control system will be maintained
by the Finance Department to ensure accountability and adherence to the budget by restricting
the expenditure of funds above the amount appropriated for the spending agency. Monthly
financial reports will be available on-line through the accounting system for elected officials and
department heads ,, detailing the progress towards budget compliance . These reports will , at a
minimum , compare the current budget and year-to-year revenues and expenditures by
department.
Contingency Planning : Weld County supports a financial planning process that assesses the
long-term financial implications of current and proposed operating and capital budgets , budget
policies , cash management, and investment policies, programs and assumptions that will permit
Weld County to deal with future contingencies in a reasonable and responsible way without
adversely impacting ou my citizens.
Strategic Investment Plan for the Future of Weld County: Due to the oil and gas boom in Weld
County from development of the Niobrara formation Weld County property tax revenue has
increased . As a result in February, 2012 , staff developed and the Board of Weld County
Commissioners approved the strategic investment Plan for the Future of Weld County. A long-
term strategy of investment in the county's infrastructure , technology and innovation , staff and
workforce development , and economic development for diversification of th.e local economy can
all have a demonstrable long-term payoff. A good county transportation system facilitates the
movement of goods and services. Investment in innovation and technology will lay the foundation
for new and more efficient governmental services being provided by Weld County government.
Staff development ensures that the county's employees have the skills required to provide the
very best service possible to the citizens of Weld County . Investment in economic development
for the diversity of the local economy will lay a solid foundation for long-term economic growth in
the county and allow Weld County to be competitive in retaining and attracting quality companies
and a labor force to support those companies. Weld County has to focus on investing rather than
spending in order to ensure long -term economic prosperity not only while the energy boom is
happening , but also when it eventually ends.
71
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT POLICY
1 . Capita! Improvement Plan - A plan for capital expenditures to be incurred each year over
a fixed period of several years (normally on a five year cycle) setting forth each capital
project and identifying the expected fiscal year for each project and the anticipated
revenues to finance those projects .
2 . Capita! improvement Staff Committee - The Director of Finance and Administration
develops a Long Range County-wide Capital Improvement Plan for all major capital
expenditures within the County after surveying county-wide needs with program
managers . The Board of County Commissioners is responsible for approving capital
improvement policies, as well as , approving capital improvement programming as a part
of the annual budget.
3 . Capita! Assets - Capital assets are defined as land , improvements to land , easements,
buildings, building improvements, vehicles, machinery , equipment, works of art and
historical treasures , infrastructure, and all other tangible or intangible assets that are used
in operations and that have initial useful lives extending beyond a single reporting period .
4 . Capital Projects - Capital projects are defined as those major, non-recurring projects that
have a time interval of at least three (3 ) years between such expenditures and have a total
cost of at least $ 10 , 000. Purchases of real property and selected equipment may be
exempted from these limitations . Examples of capital projects include :
A. New and expanded physical facilities .
B . Large scale rehabilitation and replacement facilities .
C. Major equipment which has a relatively long period of usefulness .
a The cost of engineering or architectural studies for services related to a
major public improvement.
E. Acquisition of land and /or buildings.
5 . Annual Action Program - Those capital improvement projects from the plan which have
been identified by the Director of Finance and Administration and approved by the Board
of county commissioners for funding and implementation for each fiscal budget year.
6 . Relationship Between Capita! Funding and Operating Budget - Capital assets, which
include property , plant equipment, software , rights-of-way, and infrastructure assets (e.g . ,
roads, bridges and similar items, ) are reported in the applicable governmental or business-
type funds. Capital assets are defined by the County as assets with an initial , individual
cost of more than $5 , 000 and a useful life of more than one year. All fixed assets are
valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available.
Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation .
72
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets lives are not capitalized .
All reported capital assets, except for gravel roads, are depreciated . Improvements are
depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets . Depreciation on
all assets is provided on the straight-line basis (asset value divided by years of useful life)
over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 20 - 50 years
Improvements 20 years
Infrastructure - Bridges 50 years
Infrastructure - Roads 20 years
Equipment 3 - 5 years
Heavy Equipment 10 - 20 years
GASS Statement 34 allows an alternative approach which would reflect a reasonable
value of the asset and the cost incurred to maintain the service potential to locally►
established minimum standards in lieu of depreciation . To elect this option the County
must develop and implement an asset management system which measures, at least
every third year by class of asset , if the minimum standards are being maintained . The
County has elected to use this alternative approach only for gravel roads .
73
INVESTMENT POLICY
On March 5 , 2003, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a comprehensive investment
policy that is reviewed annually by the Investment Committee . A copy of the detailed investment
policy can be obtained by contacting the Weld County Treasurer at (970 ) 400-3260 . The following
is a brief overview of the investment policy:
The County Treasurer is responsible for the investment of all available monies. The statutes
defining legal investments for Colorado counties are Sections 24-75-601 and 30-10-708 , C . R. S .
Investment priorities are ( 1 ) safety , (2 ) liquidity, and (3 ) yield .
In compliance with statutes, deposits/investments are made only in "qualified" financial
institutions, i .e . , those which are federally insured by either FDIC or FSLIC . Further, any
deposit/investment amount in excess of $250 , 000 may only be made at institutions that are
designated as public depositories by the state bank or savings and loan commissioners, sections
11 -10-118 and 11 -47-118 , C . R. S . Such designation occurs when acceptable collateral is pledged
to secure the total deposit.
Deposits/investments shall be made in the name of the treasurer in one or more state banks,
national banks having their principal offices in this state, or in compliance with the provisions of
Article 47 of Title 11 , C . R . S . 1973 , savings and loan associations having their principal offices in
this state which have been approved and designated by written resolution by a majority of the
Board of County Commissioners .
The Board of County Commissioners can designate , by resolution , an average annual rate of
interest income to be paid to a specific fund or funds. All other interest income is deposited to the
county general fund for the purpose of supplementing the county mill levy thus reducing the
amount of revenue required from property tax.
The County maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds except the
Pension Trust Fund . Several of the County's funds also hold investments on their own account.
The cash and investments of the Pension Trust Fund are held separately from those of the other
County funds.
Deposits:
At year end , the estimated carrying amount of the County's deposits is over $230 million .
Of this amount, approximately $ 1 million will be covered by Federal deposit insurance ,
and the remainder was collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial
institution 's trust departments or agents in the County's name .
Investments:
Statutes authorize the County to invest in obligations of the U . S . Treasury , agencies, and
instrumentalities , commercial paper, and repurchase agreements . The Pension Trust
Fund is also authorized to invest in corporate bonds and mortgages.
Interest revenue is projected on the basis of an average interest rate of 2 . 50 percent in 2019 .
74
FUND BALANCE AND
RESERVE POLICY
Weld County considers maintenance of adequate operating reserves to be a prudent
management tool and important factor in providing financial flexibility to the County . A financial
reserve may be used to address unanticipated revenue shortfalls and unforeseen expenditures .
The reserves provide a first line of defense against deficit spending and help maintain liquidity
when budget downturns become inevitable . The appropriate size of such fund balance reserves
depends on the potential viability of the County's revenues and expenses, as well as its working
cash needs to handle seasonality of revenues or expenditures .
The Board of County Commissioners adopted the County Fund Balance Policy on December 14 ,
2011 , nunc pro tunc January 1 , 2011 . The policy was created to help reduce the negative impact
on the county in times of economic uncertainty, major fluctuations in oil and gas assessed
valuations , and potential losses of funding from other governmental agencies . The policy
established minimum requirements for reserves and guidelines for the use of certain funds. The
reserves and restrictions are also consistent with the requirements under Colorado statute or
state constitutional requirements . The County Fund Balance Policy requires the following :
• A►ny remaining fund balance following all restrictions and commitments in the Health
Fund shall be assigned for the purpose of future health programs for the benefit of the
citizens of Weld County.
• Any remaining fund balance following all restrictions and commitments in the social
Services Fund shall be assigned for the purpose of future welfare programs for the
benefit of the citizens of Weld County.
• A►ny remaining fund balance following all restrictions and commitments in the Human
Services Fund shall be assigned for the purpose of future welfare , senior, and
employment programs for the benefit of the citizens of Weld County.
• The Contingency Fund shall maintain a minimum fund balance to cover a minimum
ten X10) percent of the annual expenditures and maximum of twenty (20 ) percent of
the annual total expenditures as determined by the Director of Finance and
Administration to provide: (1 ) a reasonable level of assurance that Weld County' s
operations will continue even if circumstances occur where revenues are insufficient
in an amount that is equal to at least one-percent of annual expenditures to cover
necessary► expenses for public safety , public welfare and public works ; (2) there is a
major reduction in oil and gas assessed valuations; or (3) there are other unexpected
needs or emergency situations costing an amount that is equal to at least one-percent
of annual total expenditures that do not routinely occur. The Contingency Fund shall
be funded by property tax with a half-mill applied to the county's assessed value
annually , unless the Board of Weld County Commissioners adjusts the amount in the
annual budget process .
• The three- percent 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.

-- Allows time to accommodate reductions (employees )
-- Offers support to managers to eliminate marginal services, less productive
employees , etc.
-- Allows board discretion in allocating funds to unfunded programs in critical
service areas
-- Targets all offices , departments, and outside agencies
-- Better reflects County priorities
-- Since limits are known , allows planning of alternative expenditure levels six
months before fiscal year begins
-- Constrains growth in existing levels , so high priority requests can be
granted while lower priority projects are cut
76
-- Examine all user and service fees and make recommendations for increases or other
adjustments to match the cost of providing such services.
-- Clearly identify all newly mandated program costs for the Board .
-- Continue the County's share of partnership programs, unless a change is legally
mandated , and decrease the share wherever possible .
-- Maximize manpower avoidance or substitution methods for all departments through
automation , productivity improvements, or cost cutting strategies.
-- Recommend capital outlay expenses for equipment only when the need has been fully
justified , the useful life of equipment cannot be extended , and it has been determined that
salvage equipment is unavailable for use . Vehicle replacement must be recommended
by the Director of Fleet Services for consideration in the budget process.
-- Continue to examine priorities , which services to provide , best way to deliver services,
and most cost effective way to provide services within the constraints of TABOR.
-- Minimize levels of management for departments within the County by flattening the
organization and empowering employees to the maximum extent possible .
-- Continued deployment of Lean . The County began to use Lean , a continuous
improvement methodology in 2017 . Significant process improvements have been made
in many departments , including Motor Vehicle , jail booking , and Human Services
operations . The County's Lean efforts are evolving from a centralized group in
Information Technology to broader deployment throughout county departments involving
their own staff.
77
2019 GUIDELINES
Unless full justified there will be no recommended increases in personnel in the
recommended budget to the Board . Increased workload should be absorbed by existing
personnel wherever possible through increased productivity.
Resources for new activities should come from increased productivity and termination of
existing activities wherever possible . No new non- mandated programs should be
proposed without proportionate cutbacks in other programs . Any new programs or
expansion of existing programs will be highlighted as a policy issue for the Board .
All newly mandated program costs should be clearly identified for the Board .
.> Unless a change is legally mandated , the county's share of partnership programs should
not be increased , the share should be decreased wherever possible .
Methods to maximize manpower avoidance or substitution should be encouraged by all
departments through automation , productivity improvements, or cost cutting strategies.
Capital outlay expenses for equipment should only be recommended when the need has
been fully justified , the useful life of equipment cannot be extended , and it has been
determined that salvage equipment is unavailable for use . Vehicle replacement must be
recommended by the Director of Fleet Services for consideration in the budget process .
Budgets are to be prepared on a program basis with submission in a program format, as
well as in the normal line item format like 2018's budget presentation .
Salaries should be budgeted at the 2018 level . Any salary► increase for a class unique to
a department must be absorbed in target amounts .
All user and service fees should be examined and recommendations made for increases
or other adjustments to match the cost of providing such services .
Those areas where increased personnel productivity has shown gains in services and/or
reductions in cost should be identified .
Target budget amounts will be provided to each department and office . Any amount
exceeding the target base will be competing for a small amount of unallocated funds
during the budget hearing process in November. Therefore , all offices and departments
should make concerted efforts to put together realistic programs and efforts within the
target budget base amount, since the ability of the Board to fund beyond that level will be
substantially restricted . Ranking forms will begin at 90% of target, and must be completed
by each department.
78
In reviewing the 2019 budget request , The Director of Finance and Administration will
develop preliminary recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. The
Director of Finance and Administration will ask the same basic questions that, hopefully,
each of the departments asked regarding the evaluation of their program activities. These
questions concern need and purpose , objectives, departmental priorities and rank,
achievements and benefits expected , means , if any for measuring results, consequences
of not implementing the request, impact on other agencies or departments, alternative
approaches or service level , resources required , means of financing , and whether or not
all cost cutting and revenue generating strategies have been applied .
Unless a significant organizational change has occurred , upgrades of specific positions
that were requested but denied in the last two years will not be reconsidered in the 2019
budget process .
Use the following budget population data for performance measures :
YEAR POPULATION
2017 ( Actual ) 304,600
2018 ( Estimated) 315,300
2019 ( Projected) 325,800
Interns: Any department planning on using interns in the next fiscal year must include any
costs associated with the interns in the budget request. Costs should include any salaries,
equipment (vehicle ) , service and supplies (e. g . , mileage ) . No mid-year intern position
requests will be approved that have a cost that is not already budgeted in the final budget.

REVENUE POLICIES
AND ASSUMPTIONS
The following revenue policies and assumptions have been used in the preparation of the 2019
budget.

pay for what they receive in full through current fees , charges , and other
assumptions.
2 . Continual search for new sources of revenue shall be made to diversify the
County's financing plan .
3 . The County shall seek the establishment of a diversified and stable revenue
system to shelter the County from short run fluctuations in any one revenue source .
4. Estimated revenues are conservatively projected .
5 . Proposed rate increases are based upon :
A. Fee policies applicable to each activity.
B . Related cost of the service provided .
C . The impact of inflation in the provision of services.
D . Equitability of comparable fees.
6. Programs funded by state and federal revenue sources shall be reduced or
eliminated accordingly if state or federal revenues are reduced or eliminated .
Local funding will be substituted only after a full study by the Board and if the
program has a high priority to satisfy a local need .
7 . Revenue targeting for a specific program shall only be utilized whenever legally
required and when a revenue source has been established for the sole purpose of
providing a specific program .
8 . Revenue from intergovernmental sources with a specific ending date shall not be
projected beyond the date .
9 . Assume a local economy similar to 2018 with some projected slowdown in the last
quarter of 2019 . Assume interest rates averaging 2 . 50 percent throughout 2019 .
10 . Property taxes are based upon the maximum allowable under Amendment One
(TABOR) and the Weld County Home Rule Charter limitation .
11 . Assume that unless there is proven evidence to the contrary, federal and state
categorical and entitlement grants will continue at the current level of funding .
83
SPECIFIC REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS
OF SIGNIFICANT REVENUE
Where appropriate , the local economic conditions and forward -looking economic indicators have
been noted and taken into account in forecasting revenue trends .
Property Tax : Levy with maximum allowable , per Weld County Home Rule Charter and
Amendment One (TABOR ) limitation . The volatility of the oil and gas assessed values continues
to be a major impact to the County' s budget planning , as it has been for the last six years. For
the 2019 budget, the increase in the county' s assessed value from oil and gas values was over
25% . The 2019 assessed valuation level is slightly above the previously high 2016 level due to
oil and gas production and growth in the county. Because of the volatility of production levels and
price fluctuations of the oil and gas values, the County must continue to prudently manage the
increased property tax base created by the energy development. The county was prepared for
the significant drop in the assessed valuation for the 2017 and 2018 budgets. In anticipation of
the drop in the county's assessed valuation in the 2016 budget of $ 178 million in property tax
revenue there was $62 million in one-time budget items, for 2017 there was nearly $30 million in
one-time costs, and $ 18 million in 2018 . This was achieved by keeping the county's net
operational spending requirement around $ 125- 140 million in property tax revenue to maintain
the current spending levels in 2017 and 2018 . In the 2019 budget there is $35 million in one-time
expenses . It is anticipated that oil prices will stay in the $50-70 per barrel range in next few years .
Specific Ownership Tax : Personal property tax on vehicles (SOT) is anticipated to be level in
2019 due to stable vehicle sales and how the new vehicles figure into the five-year sliding fee
schedule .
Building Inspection and Planning Permits : Continued growth in construction is being seen .
There is more activity in residential building in the unincorporated part of the County with some
factors pointing towards an uptick in activity as rental vacancy rates are low and housing listing
inventories are low. Although the investment in the oil and gas infrastructure is anticipated to
continue for the next few years there has been a leveling off in drilling activity, which levels building
permit revenue . A fee change in 2017 regarding oil and gas well permit fees has lowered building
inspection revenue more than anticipated .
State and Federal Grant Revenue : Budget at signed contract level or anticipated funding level
provided by state or federal agency . We can anticipate moderation in non-defense discretionary
spending and some spending cuts in entitlements . Spending and revenue imbalances at the state
and federal levels will most likely result in lower or at best slower growth in intergovernmental
revenues for the county in the future .
Charges for Services : Charges to special districts and other public entities are based upon
signed contracts .
Earning on Investments : Interest revenue is calculated on the average earnings rate of 2 . 50
percent, times the estimated average daily cash balances . Based upon Federal Reserve
projections interest rates will go up some in 2019 .
Royalties : Based on analysis of oil and gas leases active on 40 , 000 plus acres of mineral
interests owned by Weld County . These revenues have been up significantly the last five years
but are anticipated to level off due to lower oil prices going forward .
Rental : All rental income is based upon signed leases .
84
Overhead /Cost Plan : Revenues are based upon the 2017 Indirect Cost Plan approved by the
Department of Health and Human Services that results in federal revenue allowable from grants .
Social Services has been charged the full indirect cost allocation amount since July 1 , 2012 , which
results in approximately an additional $4 . 5 million in revenues in this area .
County Clerk Fees : Calculated on the historical level of activity, and legislative changes in the
last few years . Increased oil and gas and housing financing recording activity in the county is
resulting in higher projected revenues in this area .
Treasurer' s Fees : Based upon historical level of activity for fees, which have been growing slight
due to the statutory fee structure for property taxes collected .
Highway Users - Special Bridge : Revenue based upon signed state and federal grant
contracts.
Motor Vehicle Registration Fees : Like Specific Ownership Tax this revenue is anticipated to be
up slightly in 2019 due to increasing vehicle sales and population growth .
Highway User' s Tax : Based on State Department of Highway estimates from gas tax less three
percent reduction that Weld County has historically experienced . As vehicles become more fuel
efficient less fuel is purchased , thus paying less HUTF tax that is based upon a per gallon tax.
This is offset by population growth in the state .
Social Service Revenue : Based on anticipated caseload as discussed under each program plus
state and federal funding formula for each program . The new Child Welfare allocation formula
adopted in 2013 has resulted in the county's allocation going up over $3 million from the prior
formula .
Health Grants : Based upon contracts signed July 1 , 2018 .
Health Fees : Based upon historical patient/client caseload with 2019 rates applied . With more
and more uninsured patients , utilization continues to increase in county clinic due to affordability.
Human Services Grants : Based upon contract funding level as of October 1 , 2018 ,
State Lottery : Funded at the current level , with no anticipated legislative changes.
Solid Waste Fees : Ten percent surcharge applied to historical waste volumes and input on
projected volume from landfill operators .
Proprietary Fund Revenues : Revenues for each Proprietary Fund equal funded anticipated
expenditures in user departments' budgets.
Work Release Inmate Fee : Based upon average of 200 work release inmates per day.
Severance Tax : See policy on severance tax direct distribution in Public Works Non-
Departmental Revenue ( Budget Unit 2000-90100 ).

2015 2016 2017 2018 2019
Property Tax : Increases will track with the Home Rule Charter and TABOR tax limitations, which
are growth in actual property value , plus cost-of-living . As has been the case for the last few years'
growth and development activity directly, or indirectly, related to oil and gas exploration seems to
be the main influence on the growth of the property tax base in the county . The volatility of the oil
and gas assessed values continues to be a major impact to the county's budget planning the last
six years. For the 2019 budget, the increase in the county' s assessed value from oil and gas
values was over 25% . Oil and gas assessed valuation are close to 60% of the county's total
assessed valuation . Since November 2014 , due to the oversupply of oil worldwide the price of oil
has dropped from over $ 100 a barrel to the price range of $40-50 per barrel . With the volatility of
production levels and price fluctuations of the oil and gas values, the county must continue to
prudently manage the property tax base created by the energy development. The 2019 assessed
valuation level and resulting property tax is slightly above the previously high 2016 level due to
oil and gas production and growth in the county.
86
Intergovern mental : The significant jump in state and federal revenues of over 20% in 2015 was
attributed primarily to the increased state and federal funding for Public Works projects, many
associated with the recovery efforts from the September 2013 epic flooding . The higher funding
level continued into 2016 with Public Works projects including $4 . 5 million for WCR 49 and four
major bridge replacement projects . Many of these grants were one-time and dropped after 2016 .
The drop from 2018 to 2019 was primarily due to energy impact grants for road projects. We can
anticipate moderation in non-defense discretionary spending and some spending cuts in
entitlements . Spending and revenue imbalances at the state and federal levels will most likely
result in lower or at best slower growth in intergovernmental revenues for the county in the future .
Proprietary Services : Predictable revenue based on stable usage . Health insurance costs in
the self- insured program are slowing and even dropped 15% in 2019 , so the increases in this
area over the next five years should be more moderate. For example , there has been a 11 . 8 %
decrease in health insurance rates in the last five years, but participation in the insurance plan is
up some .

Other Taxes : Primarily , specific ownership taxes that track car registrations and severance tax.
The increasing trend the last three years is due to a new formula for the direct distribution of
severance tax to cities and counties from the state . Severance tax revenues follow the price of oil
and gas , since that is where they are derived .
Fees : Fees have been increased and new fees added . Fees from vehicle registration should
increase as vehicle sales are projected to continue to increase and as the county's population
continues to grow. Planning fees are steady as the county grows and construction activity returns ,
as well as, activity from oil and gas infrastructure development and drilling activity .
Licenses/Permits : As cited in the Revenue Assumption section earlier, there is stronger
recovery of construction in the county. Despite the low activity in residential building in the
unincorporated pad of the county some factors pointing towards an uptick in activity as rental
vacancy rates are low and housing listing inventories are low. The investment in the oil and gas
infrastructure is anticipated to continue for the next few years. A fee change in 2017 regarding oil
and gas well permit fees has lowered building inspection revenue more than anticipated The
combination of all these factors point to a leveling off of inspection and permit fee revenues in
2019 .
Charges for Services : Revenue is predictable based on contracts for service and reimbursable
projects .
Miscellaneous : Revenue predictable , even though some variation in specific years. Interest
revenue is found in this category and is up nearly $ 1 .5 million in 2019 . Public Works contracts are
up due to reimbursable road projects in 2018-2019 . Fines from traffic violations are projected to
be up slightly in 2019 . Oil and gas royalty payments were up substantially the last three years but
87
should level out in the coming five years as bonus amounts drop and oil price stabilize. The policy
decision to charge social services the full amount of indirect costs raised this category to $4 . 5
million in 2019 , which is down $2 . 3 million from 2018 . The one-time reimbursement of $ 1 .9 million
for a communications project with Adams County increased revenues in 2018 and then dropped
in 2019.

FIVE YEAR PROJECTED REVENUE AND
EXPENDITURE TRENDS
2020-2024 REVENUE PROJECTIONS
The forecasting revenue trends cited in the graphs below are discussed in the previous section ,
Major Revenue Historical and Future Trends and Analysis . Assumptions include :
• Property tax levy with maximum allowable , per Weld County Home Rule Charter and
Amendment One (TABOR) limitation . The projections are set at 5% annually . More
property tax will be devoted to the Public Works Fund for road projects starting in 2020.
• Assessed value from oil and gas will fluctuate , but the Contingency Reserve will allow for
a leveling effect with oil prices being in the range of $46-66 long term .
• Intergovernmental revenues will show only moderate annual changes of 2% as non-
defense discretionary spending slows and some cuts in entitlements occur due to planned
federal deficit reductions.
• Fees, licenses , charges for service , and miscellaneous revenues will grow at the rate of
inflation and population growth .
• Proprietary Services will be driven primarily by inflation .
• Proprietary Services revenues are offset by the same expenditure amount.

Assumptions used for the expenditure projections are as follows :
• Inflation is projected at an average 3 percent over the five-year period for all categories,
except federal and state funded programs .
• Population growth follows the State Demographer's estimate of an average 4 percent
growth for Weld County
• Public Health and Welfare , and Human Services program costs will follow the trend of the
state and federal revenues supporting them . Therefore , the program expenditures will
grow only moderately at 2% annually as non-defense discretionary spending slows and
some cuts in entitlements occur due to planned federal deficit reductions.
• In election years , General Government will increase by approximately $350 , 000-
$500 , 000 , and drop by the corresponding amount in off-election years .
• Public safety will experience infusion of funds beyond inflation to fund the additional costs
of opening additional jail beds as the inmate population grows .
• Proprietary Services will be driven primarily by inflation .
• Proprietary Services revenues are offset by the same expenditure amount.
• Capital costs follow the revenue contribution to the Capital Expenditure Fund in
accordance with the Capital Improvements Plan .
• Public Works costs will be increased starting in 2020 to accommodate the growth in traffic
as the county's population increases, and energy development continues to impact the
road system .

• Ability to pay and the sustainability of the pay long term .

GENERAL FUND SUMMARY
The General Fund is funded at the level of $ 135 ,400 , 146 up $3 , 855 ,413 . The two major increases
are in general government, and salary increases . Without including adjustments for cost of living ,
and salary step increases, the budget for general government functions is up $2 , 545 , 147. Motor
Vehicle is up $ 156 , 100 with the addition of two positions. The Assessor is up $ 186 , 377 due to
2019 being a reappraisal year and the addition of two new appraisers . Building and Grounds is
up $205 , 097 for an additional carpenter position and inflationary building maintenance costs .
Finance is up $ 138 ,861 to add a Budget Manger as part of the succession planning in the
department. With the growth in the county workforce and the tight labor market for recruitment
and retention Human Resources in up $153 ,052 . Planning is up $ 337 , 712 for two mid-year
positions, and the additional chargeback from Engineering of $ 191 , 987 . The Election budget is
down $ 523 , 064 since there will only be a consolidated general election in 2019 .
Information Technology ( IT) is up $619 , 334 primarily due to increases in software maintenance
($260 , 116 ), and computer equipment ( $290 , 500 ). Charge backs in the contra account are down
$ 100, 000 due to recent usage trends by grant funded departments. IT capital is funded in
accordance with the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan with $350 , 000 for computer equipment.
$500 , 000 is included for new technology and innovation projects , which is the same level as the
last five years .
Public Safety functions are up $ 168 , 958. However, if you adjust for the one-time expense for
communications equipment in 2018 of $3 , 738 , 985 Public Safety is up $ 3 , 907 ,843. The overall net
Sheriffs Office recommended budget is up in net county costs by $2 , 011 , 324 or 4 . 62% . The
Sheriffs Office has requested a total increase of 16 .25 positions in 2019 . Other positions within
the Sheriffs Office are requested to be reclassified or moved to improve productivity instead of
eliminating positions . The purpose of the increase is to meet staffing shortages based on the
completed staffing studies of Patrol and Detentions as well as implement two new programs for
the agency . One program is the Body Worn Camera ( BWC ) program , and the other is the
Southwest Substation Booking Intake . As a result, Sheriff personnel costs are up $ 1 , 5997 , 731 . In
addition to the recommended 3% cost of living for all county positions there is an additional 2%
increase for a total of 5% at a cost of $601 , 260 for all Sheriff deputy and correctional officer career
positions to remain competitive with other law enforcement agencies in the area . The strategy
would be to do 5% salary increases in 2019 , 2021 , and 2021 to bring the positions to a more
competitive level for recruitment and retention of law enforcement positions in Weld County and
the Front Range of Colorado . Supplies for the Sheriff are up $ 155 , 478 with $ 120 , 000 being for
MDT computer replacements . Purchased Services are up $464 , 153 for inmate medical care
($228 , 333) , records contract with the City of Greeley ($92 , 832 ) , Body Worn Camera program
( $85 , 000) and $58 , 000 for miscellaneous items. Capital is funded at $241 , 567 with the largest
expense being a body scanner for North Jail . Fixed costs are down $ 176 , 196 for retention
incentive payments. Revenues in the Sheriffs Office are up $273,400 primarily from grants.
Coroner's budget is up $ 143 , 606 primarily for the addition of one Deputy Coroner positions mid-
year to deal with the office's workload , and autopsy costs. Communications is up $475 , 701 with
the addition of four dispatchers and three call takers due to E-911 call volume . However, the need
for the positions is being reviewed and may not be recommended in the final budget. The E911
Authority requested an increase in the E911 surcharge from 70 cents to $ 1 . 20 per phone per
month to fund future capital needs. The State PUC approved the increase effective January 1 ,
2019 . This will be in the E911 Authority budget but relieve the General Fund of these costs going
forward . Office of Emergency Management is up $ 185 , 659 for an addition EM Coordinator
position , and funds for a contractor to update the HazMat mitigation plan . Justice Services is
requesting two positions for the pretrial program and two for the work release program due to
growing caseloads to hold down the jail inmate population . Both programs are more cost effective
compared to jail incarceration . Other Public Safety budgets are stable with little or no increases.
130

Weld County Road WCR 49► south corridor and WCR 49/47 north corridor in the 2019 budget.

step and cost-of-living increases. The County Fair is down $ 137, 850 with the elimination of
$ 127, 850 for a one-time expense for livestock panels, and $ 10 , 000 in one-time costs to celebrate
the 100th Anniversary of the Weld County Fair in 2018 . An increase of $ 1 , 105 , 194 is included for
other General Fund departments' anticipated salary step and cost-of-living increases in 2019 .
Health insurance rates will decrease 15% for employees and the employer in 2019 . This will mean
health insurance rate decreased 11 . 8% in the last five years.
The available resources to the General Fund are $151 ,353 ,409 compared to $ 140,485 ,352 in
2018, up $4 ,877 , 057 . Property taxes are budgeted at $97 ,530, 811 up $4 , 529 , 760 . Revenue from
interest earnings are up $ 1 ,500 , 000 at $3 ,500, 000 for 2019 , as interest rates are projected to
increase in the next year . Intergovernmental revenues are up slightly by $245 ,331 . Charges for
Services are up $ 313 , 357 primarily from charges related to communications and Sheriffs Office
revenues . Fines from traffic enforcement are up $40 , 000 . Indirect cost recovery is down
$25292 , 759 due to Social Services' allocation . Clerk and Recorder fees are up $400 , 000 . All other

The beginning fund balance is anticipated to be $ 14 ,000 , 000 for 2019 . An estimated ending fund
balance of $ 15 ,903, 253 is projected for year-end . The fund balance amount serves as an
additional contingency amount during the fiscal year. This fund balance amount is consistent with
the anticipated ending fund balances for the last few years . It is prudent fiscal management for
Weld County to maintain an anticipated fund balance of this level to respond to unforeseen needs
of the citizens of Weld County in 2019 and future years .

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : Per Section 37-37- 104( 3 ), C . R. S . , all expenses of the office are to
be paid from Trustee fees prior to payment to the County Treasurer. Excess funds are to be
maintained in a special reserve fund until one year's operating costs are accumulated . It is not
anticipated that any excess revenue will be transferred to the General Fund in 2019 . The amount
has been less the last three years based upon an anticipated drop in foreclosure and refinancing
activity.
In 2012 , HB 12- 1329 was approved and now requires the Public Trustee to prepare and submit
an annual budget to the Board of County Commissioners for review. It also subjects the Public
Trustee's offices to a biannual audit and requires the Public Trustee to comply with the state
and/or the county procurement process.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION : Recommend approval . The Weld County
Public Trustee's office has always submitted the office's budget to the county . HB 12- 1329 states
that the budget shall be "reviewed " by the Board of County Commissioners , but does not state
"approved " . HB 12- 1329 does not appear to change what has been the practice in Weld County
for some time .

1000 - 17300
Goal 1 : — Information Technology Security
IT security is a mission critical function that has a shared accountability across all departments and offices within the
County. Developing and maintaining a robust IT Security framework that is built on industry best-practice, instills
trust and confidence in the departments and offices of the County from the citizens of Weld County. IT security is an
iterative process that we must remain vigilant with our efforts in support of and also in how we communicate the
importance of IT Security to all business units and offices within the County.
Goal 2 : — Adopting Cloud Services
Weld County embraces the spirit and the potential value-add of Cloud Computing. Weld County IT will use a
thoughtful, blended and transparent approach when implementing these technologies and services and will guide the
County on the uses and benefits of Cloud Computing. This will allow us to leverage the potential increases in system
availability, application stability, security and functionality of services associated to Cloud Computing.
Goal 3 : — Consolidation and Optimization
Network, Voice, Data Center, Enterprise Applications and Storage environments are a critical component of the Weld
County IT infrastructure. Traditional data centers have substantial electrical, cooling and cabling requirements .
Hardware and software virtualization technologies provide the ability to consolidate these environments . This
consolidation assists Weld County IT with keeping capital and operational expenses lower, while still providing a
highly available and robust network and server environment. Consolidating network and voice services allows the
County to leverage investments into core network technologies and provides a more robust and functional County
phone system. Implement advanced features that will optimize call centers for Human Services, Information
Technology and other County offices and departments . Providing a comprehensive application portfolio for the
County will assist IT, departments and offices with planning future upgrades, professional development, potential of
consolidating enterprise applications and staffing levels .
Goal 4 : — Budget and Cost Control
Leading with responsive, innovative and cost effective services is a core value of the County . IT is an important part
of this value and focusing on cost control, cost reduction and budget transparency is an important part of our mission.
This should be done internal to IT, but also focusing on other departments and offices technology to ensure we are
investing in proven applications and hardware that integrate into the existing environment as well as achieving the
business need .
Goal 5 : — Human Resource 1 Talent Management
Hiring and retaining quality IT team members enables higher levels of service and professionalism to County offices
and departments . Creating a work environment that is open and communicative assists with the recruiting of qualified
IT professionals . Implementing a flexible schedule allows for team members to achieve a work/life balance and
ultimately expands the hours of support provided by IT to the County . Working within the County framework, develop
a 5 year compensation plan for the IT department. Having a compensation plan provides team members the ability to
plan and forecast their career path. This plan, along with investing in team member' s professional development builds
continuity and a consistent team knowledge base.
Goal 6 : — Strategic IT Planning
Providing a technology roadmap and strategic plan for the County will prepare the IT department and other areas of
the county, specifically the BOCC with a framework that can be referenced and measured against for years to come.
IT strategic planning must be a comprehensive process that includes all areas of the County. Meeting with the business
units and understanding their needs is a key component to ensuring the technology and associated infrastructure aligns
with the needs of the County departments and the citizens they support. The plan is intended to be dynamic in nature,
so that as technology changes, so too can the way we support it. Key items associated to the strategic plan are ; annual
review of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), review of qualifying domains, and ensuring the IT strategic plan aligns
with the overall County mission.

Goal 7 : — Mobility
Anytime / anywhere computing is a requirement for all technology enabled organizations. The ability to have a mobile
workforce is critical in today's world along with providing a mobile friendly technology environment that is functional
across all types of mobile devices and operating systems. County department and offices have the need to move
seamlessly from office, to the field, to home and beyond. This mobility needs to be done in a secure and functional
way that is fully supported by the IT department and the associated application vendors the County uses to perform
its specific functions .
Goal — Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
Information Technology provides the foundation for many of the County ' s critical services . Disaster recovery and
business continuity planning are a part of every successful organization. Determining mission critical IT services is
a collaborative process and involves all departments and offices within the County . We must be able to communicate,.
process critical County functions such as payroll, and deliver services to the citizens of Weld County during disasters.
The ability to recover critical services is dependent upon hardware, software and key personnel. An environment that
is geographically located far enough from the County is ideal, and should take into count a regional type of disaster.
A detailed DR/BC plan should be developed and then reviewed annually by IT, County departments and the BOCC.
Goal — Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
The GIS domain is a strategic enterprise platform of technology with a high operational impact. Its users seek to create,
collect, maintain and distribute high quality, accurate and complete geospatial data and services. The County will raise
the awareness of both the beneficial business applications of GIS and seek to cultivate the advanced analytical use of
the technology amongst its users.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : As this program moves into its seventh year the program has
evolved into a program with a different character than first envisioned . Also , the amount of funding
to support the concept has proven to be substantially less than the original $2 , 000 , 000 funding
level . Part of the change is that many of the technology projects first envisioned are being
incorporated into the Information Technology ( IT) budget. In the 2015 budget $ 1 , 000 , 000 was
moved to the IT budget, and in the 2016 budget another $500 , 000 was moved to the IT budget,
as an allocation to be used for new IT requests from departments .
The $500 , 000 remaining in the 2019 budget for projects should be adequate to address enterprise
solutions , and technology projects not fitting into the IT budget.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES :
The Sheriff's Office is requesting an increase in Net County Costs from the 2018 approved budget
totaling $2 , 011 , 324 . This reflects an increase of 4 . 6% from 2018 . A summary of the notable
changes and brief justifications are listed below.
Revenues:
Revenues are increasing from 2018 by approximately $273 ,400 .
• The Patrol Division continues to reduce municipal contracts , with the expectation that the
Town of Severance will form a police department by early 2019 . This will leave only two (2 )
contract positions remaining with Aims Community College , and accounts for a decrease in
Contract Services (Org 21210 ) revenue of $289 , 525 .
• Weld County continually places in the top three counties for traffic accidents and fatalities.
The increase in focus to make the roads safer has been paramount. The County has allowed
for an increase in Patrol deputies over the past few years , as well as the implementation of
the e-Ticketle-Crash software . These resources have not only been shown to improve the
roadways of Weld County, but has also increased traffic fine revenue . It is anticipated fines
collected will increase by approximately $40 , 000 in 2019 .
• The Sheriffs Office has successfully written numerous grants over the past few years. For
2019 , it is anticipated that there will be over $200 , 000 of additional revenue to offset expenses
for the Victim Services Unit (Org 21300 ) and for equipment for the Booking Unit (Org 21110 ).
The budget includes $75 , 000 in Inmate Services (Org 24410 ) in anticipation of an upcoming
SCAAP grant program that has recently been reinstated .
• The increase in the average jail population also means an increase in revenues from inmates
or the municipalities from where they are charged . These range from municipal charges being
billed to local entities, medical co-pays , booking fees, commissary and telephone charges that
come back to offset expenses for the Sheriffs Office. With the implementation of the
Southwest Substation Booking Intake , it is anticipated municipality revenues will increase as
it will be more efficient for local law enforcement entities to process an inmate on local charges
and get back on the street.
194
SHERIFF OFFICE SUMMARY
( CONTINUED )
Personnel :
The Sheriffs Office has requested a total increase of 16 .25 positions in 2019 . Other positions
within the Sheriff' s Office are requested to be reclassified or moved to improve productivity instead
of eliminating positions . The purpose of the increase is to meet staffing shortages based on the
completed staffing studies from Patrol and Detentions as well as implement two new programs
for the agency . One program is the Body Worn Camera ( BWC ) program , and the other is the
Southwest Substation Booking Intake . Below are the staffing changes recommended for 2019 by
the Sheriffs Office .
• Orq 21100 , Admin Patrol : Reclassify Office Techs from Grades 15 , 18 and 21 to Grade 18 to
allow for consistency, cross-training of duties and moves within the unit. All positions handle
cash , work with the public, verify legal documents and work in multiple positions .
• Orq 21120 , Professional Standards: Add one Patrol Deputy II (Grade 36 ) for the
implementation and management of the Body Worn Camera program .
• Orq 21140 , Support Services: Reallocate the current Support Services Director (Grade 43 )
position to a Booking Unit Corporal (Grade 43 ) in Org 24415 . This would allow for one
Corporal per shift each on Red Side and Blue Side , and the need has been documented .
• Org 21300 , Victim Services Unit Contingent on grant funding to offset costs . Increase one
position from a 0 . 5 FTE to a 0 . 75 FTE to allow for benefits and increased hours to help retain
an employee . Reclassify existing Advocate positions from Grade 23 to Grade 24 .
• Orq 21210 , Contract Services : Pending the elimination of the Town of Severance's Contract
Service needs, reclassify the two Grade 36 deputies to Detectives at Grade 38 in the
Investigations Unit (Org 21205 ) .
• Org 24410 , Inmate Services : Based on the 2017 completed staffing study, inmate population
and American Jail Association standards, the unit is understaffed by two (2 ) Classification
Specialists at Grade 33 .
• Orq 24410 , Inmate Services : Based on the 2017 completed staffing study, inmate population
and American Jail Association standards , the unit is understaffed by two (2 ) Counselor III
positions at Grade 35 .
• Orq 24415 , Security Unit For the needs required at the Southwest Substation Booking Intake ,
the request is to hire two (2 ) Corporals at a Grade 43 , and five (5 ) Detention Deputies III at a
Grade 36 , to allow for staffing one shift per day , seven days a week at the Southwest
Substation with two deputies and a Corporal each shift.
• Org 24420 , Courts Unit: Based on increases of inmates, court appearances also have
increased , and the unit is requesting four (4 ) Detention Deputy III (Grade 36 ) positions to meet
the expanding needs and requests of the courtroom judges.
• Org 24420 , Courts Unit Reclassifying civilian positions to bring in line with the Jail Booking
Staff. Moving one from Org 21110 to Courts , reclassifying one position from a Grade 18 to a
Grade 27 Transport Supervisor position and reclassifying the Grade 15 and Grade 21 to
Grade 18 , as they do similar work and the positions are then in line with the existing Booking
civilian staff. This also allows for moves within Booking and Courts without future
reclassifications , as the job duties can be cross-trained to improve the effectiveness of both
units .
Supplies (total increase of $ 155 ,478 ):
• The increase is made up of an increase of $ 120 , 000 for the MDT replacement program that
was budgeted under IT in prior years . This brings the Sheriff's Office in line with other
departments around the County.
• There is also approximately $40 , 000 for additional radios and non-lethal weapons for the
additional positions requested . This more than makes up for the Supplies increase .
195
SHERIFF OFFICE SUMMARY
( CONTINUED )
Purchased Services (total increase of $404 , 183) :
• The inmate medical contract is anticipated to increase by $228,333 and includes an
additional nurse under the contract, based on the needs at the jail and Southwest Booking
Intake . This increase is contractually allowed and has been exercised by the vendor based
on the inmate population .
• Patrol pays Greeley approximately 30% of the operational costs for the Records and
Evidence divisions managed by Greeley . This contract did not see an increase in 2018 , so
based on the numbers provided by Greeley , we budgeted for an additional $92 , 832 for the
Records and Evidence contracts with Greeley.
• The Body Worn Camera program is anticipated to cost approximately $85 , 000 per year,
based on the vendor and services provided . This is included as a part of the Services
increase .
• The remaining $58 , 000 is made up of small increases throughout the agency to account for
additional training for the new positions, agency subscriptions for necessary databases and
subscriptions that were provided by outside funding in prior years.
Fixed Charges (total decrease of $ 176 , 196 ) :
• The Sheriffs Office offered a one-time retention incentive in 2018 to help alleviate staffing
shortages at the jail . This was removed for 2019 , and accounts for $ 174 , 000 of the
decrease.
• There was also the removal of a reoccurring $2 , 196 rental of equipment that has not been
charged to the Sheriff's Office in the past three years.
Capital — Equipment Requests (total increase of $241 ,567 ):
• $ 110 , 000 for a Body Scanner for the North Jail Complex. This is offset by grant revenue .
• $45 , 000 for a new Ten-printer (fingerprinting ) machine for the Southwest Substation
Booking Intake . Must communicate with the existing RMS and used to identify inmates .
• $ 12 , 000 for two (2 ) large capacity all-in-one printers for Booking at the recommendation of
the Print Shop. This will allow Booking to keep 24- hour service even if one machine is down .
• $ 11 ,500 for a replacement Ten-printer (fingerprinting) machine for the Admin Patrol unit at
the Southwest Substation . The existing machine is at end-of-life and was recommended by
IT to be replaced in 2019 .
• $35 ,569 for three (3 ) speed trailers for the Patrol Unit. As mentioned earlier, Weld County
rates in the highest three counties consistently for traffic accidents and fatalities . Any
resources that can be implemented to help address this concern is highly valuable .
• $24 , 000 for SWAT to purchase a "throw phone" for the negotiators. The team provided
multiple examples in the past year where this technology would have been helpful with the
camera capability and microphones to understand what is happening inside a facility they
have not been able to enter, or before SWAT breaches a building .
• $ 11 ,998 for two (2 ) FLIR systems for the K-9 units. This allows for each Red Side and Blue
Side to have the capability of thermal imaging to find suspects or operate search and rescue
in all weather conditions. Because of the large amount of land in Weld County , this tool is
proven to be a very effective resource .
• $8 , 300 for the DME Forensic Workstation on the rotation schedule at the Regional Lab.

positions and programs, including the increase in Courts , the Southwest Substation Booking
intake and Body Worn Camera programs. There is also an increase of $ 12 , 000 in Firearms
supplies as the authorized weapons carrier numbers continue to grow and must have the ability
to train and maintain their weapons by the agency.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : Revenues increased in the Patrol Division due to the increase of
traffic fines as Patrol continues to make safety on the roads a high priority.
The increase in Supplies ($88 , 576 ) is more than offset by including $ 120 , 000 of MDT's that used
to be budgeted under IT. Now the Sheriff's Office is more in line with how the rest of the County
is budgeted for the computer replacement program .
The increase in Purchased Services ( $ 128 , 159 ) is made up of an increase in Contract Services
with Greeley for Records and Evidence services ($92 , 832 ) and smaller subscriptions for
programs, such as Lumen and CISC , which have proven to be valuable crime solving tools for
deputies and have increased Patrol 's effectiveness .
The Equipment requested by Patrol includes three (3 ) speed trailers for a total of $35 , 569 ,
specialty unit equipment such as thermal imaging for the K-9 teams for $ 11 , 998 , and a
Negotiations throw phone for SWAT, with wireless microphone and camera capability for
$24 , 000 . More detail for these requests is included on the Sheriffs Office Summary page .

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : As in prior years, the Patrol Division is requesting to reallocate
positions from elsewhere to increase effectiveness instead of eliminating positions. As the
Contract Services continues to be reduced , there are two (2 ) anticipated positions that will no
longer be needed for the Town of Severance in 2019 . The request is that those two positions be
reallocated as Grade 38 Detectives for the Investigations Unit. The increases in calls handled by
Patrol over the past few years have led to an increase in caseload for the Detectives. Because
Detectives tend to take more complex cases , the skillset is increased and the team becomes
more effective .
Supplies and Purchased Services combined are up $ 1 , 669 due to historical expenditure patterns .

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION : Recommend approval . The move of the

called for the increase in patrol and investigation staff as contact staff declined . Result is the net
county costs go up as the positions are no longer paid for by the contracting municipalities

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : The continuing increase in inmate population reflects increases in
revenues from an increase in bond fees, commissary , phones and medical co-pays to help offset
expenses . There is also $75 , 000 of grant revenue from the anticipated SCAAP ( State Criminal
Alien Assistance Program ) grant that was recently reinstated .
Personnel reflects an increase of four (4 ) positions, made up of two (2 ) Counselor III positions
and two (2 ) Classification Specialists . This need is based on statistical evaluations of inmate
population and workload from the 2017 staffing study as well as the American Jail Association
published standards .
The increase in purchased services is due to the increase in the inmate medical contract of
$228 , 333 and includes the option of an additional medical person available based on inmate
population levels.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION : Recommend approval . Positions are
recommended based upon the workload demands as the inmate population grows. Medical
contract costs are also driven by the growing inmate population .

SUMMARY OF CHANGES :
Major changes in the Security Unit include an increase in Revenue anticipated from the opening
of the Southwest Substation Booking Intake , which will increase local municipalities' charges for
inmates housed in the Weld County facilities. There is also an increase in Revenue due to the
increase in jail population from many local municipalities as well .
Personnel has increased by 8 . 0 FTE . This is distributed as three (3 ) Grade 43 Booking Corporals
— one of which is a lateral move from the Support Services Unit ( Org 21140 ). The increase is for
supervision needed at the newly opening Southwest Substation Booking Intake for 2019 . The
request also includes five (5 ) new Grade 36 Detention Deputy III to work at the Southwest
Substation Booking Intake . This will allow for two deputies and one corporal to work one shift per
day, 7 days a week at the Southwest, with one deputy built in for relief based on the 2017
Detentions staffing study completed . When that position is not at the Southwest Substation , it will
be used at the NJC to fill the continual staffing shortages.
The increase in Purchased Services is mainly reflected in the SOG training needs, as turnover
has necessitated the continual training of new members of the unit. Because of the high liability
of this particular unit, the training has proven to be mandatory . The decrease in Fixed Charges is
because the Retention Incentive offered in 2018 will not be repeated , however there is still money
requested specifically for a relocation incentive to hire new recruits , and for Supervisor specific
training for the Detentions Sergeants .
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION : Recommend approval . Increases are
justified based on growing inmate population .

dispatch positions , and three call takers for a total of $499 , 851 is a policy issue for the Board .
Based upon a re-evaluation of the workload data in July it appears the seven positions are not
needed at this time . This would result in a reduction of $499 , 851 in expenses, and a reduction of
$87 ,474 in revenues ( 17 . 5% ) for a net reduction of $412 , 377 . All other items are recommended .

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : Personnel Services are up $96 , 666 . The main focus and change to
the OEM budget is the request of an additional EM Coordinator position to support the Hazmat
and Chemical Facility requirements. This position will help in the planning with Tier II facilities,
WOGLA emergency Planning , Pipeline Emergency Planning and coordination of exercises/drills
with all of our operators . This position may be supported with grant funding from the State , but
funding is limited . The cost for the position is $90 , 456 . In addition , the department is requesting
an upgrade of the Office Tech III position (Grade 15 ) within OEM to an Emergency Management
Specialist position ( Grade 21 ). This will adapt the OEM operations to be able to assign her specific
tasks related to OEM functions , and allow a better overall organizational structure . Cost for the
upgrade is $6 , 210 .
The other major item requested is funding to support the update to the Weld County Hazard
Mitigation Plan . This is a federal requirement, even though this is an update OEM will need to
follow all the federal requirement, as if it is a new plan . The contractor hired to complete the 2016
plan charged $79 , 000 . The department estimates it can get the update completed with nearly the
same level of funding at $80 , 000 , and may be able to seek available grants from the State .
Other budget items will stay consistent. OEM will get $50 , 000 in additional grant funding to support
the EM program , including support for training and exercises.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : NRBH is requesting a total of $ 141 , 000 for crisis emergency
services, outpatient counseling , withdrawal management ( Detox) services, and suicide education
and support services (SESS ). The NRBH request is an increase of $ 12 , 775 over the 2018 funding
level .
NRBH has requested the additional funding because the need and demand for behavioral health
services continues to increase . Additionally, the cost of living and necessary increases to retain
appropriate staff also continues to grow. Any loss of County funds would result in many County
residents going unserved with no options for comprehensive behavioral health treatment until they
land in a local emergency department, the Acute Treatment Unit, Withdrawal Management
Program ( Detox) , or the county jail .
As the community has become aware of the increased suicide rate among adults , requests for
suicide prevention activities for adults have increased . The demand for SESS services has
dramatically increased while their funding has remained stagnant.
$100 , 000 is included for the Weld County Adult Treatment Court program to treat clients in with
alcohol , drug and other substance abuse issues . In 2016 , the county and courts developed an
ongoing MOU for this arrangement.

health services , and the growing suicide rate the coroner has been reporting the additional funding
seems justified .
The $ 100 , 000 for Weld County Adult Treatment Courts is recommended . The program is very
cost effective in helping individual get their lives together and avoid jail .

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : This unit is for the transfer to the Weld County Retirement Plan Fund
for the administrative costs of the program . With the underfunding of the Weld County Retirement
Plan the Board decided to reimburse the Retirement Fund for the administrative costs of the plan .
The administrative costs include the investment fees and other administrative costs. Annually the
costs are approximately $ 1 , 000 , 000 . The County stopped paying the fees in the 1980's. From
2011 -2015 the General Funds made substantial contributions to repay the Retirement Fund for
the past administrative costs . As a result as of December 31 , 2015 , the Weld County Retirement
Plan was fully funded under the new accounting rules of GASB 67 and 68 . The level of funding
for this purpose can be reduced in years where the property tax revenues from oil and gas
fluctuate downward and when the retirement fund is fully funded . Due the retirement plan being
totally funded no contribution is required in the 2019 budget.
The investment rate assumption will be reduced to 6 . 50% for December 31 , 2018 . As funds are
available the county should consider funding the retirement plan to reduce the investment rate
assumption from 6 . 50% to 6 . 00% over time , which is more realistic based upon projected
investment returns .

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : Beginning January 1 , 2007 , in accordance with GASB 45 , employers
must account for the actuarial cost of post-employment benefits paid to retirees. Weld County's
only program outside of the retirement program is the payment of health insurance benefits to
retirees. Under GASB 45 an estimated actuarial amount is needed to be reserved to recognize
the cost of the benefit in periods related to when services are received by the employer (Weld
County ). However, with the changes described below, funding is no longer needed in this budget
unit. Based upon the reserve amount in the Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB ) Trust and
the amount paid out each year for active retirees in department budgets , the reserve requirement
is being met.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION : On July 21 , 2010 , the Board amended the
Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB ) Plan to stop coverage for any eligible retiree , effective
June 30 , 2012 , that did not have a signed retiree health agreement as of July 21 , 2010 . This
change was in response to the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
( PPACA) creating gap insurance coverage for early retirees through state insurance exchanges,
effective January 1 , 2014 . Retirees impacted can obtain insurance coverage under COBRA from
July 1 , 2012 , to January 1 , 2014 . As a result of this Board action , the OPEB Plan was fully funded ,
as of 2012 , and no longer requires additional contributions.

program along with other partners in the community. A request for $5 , 000 was made . This
is the same as 2018 . Recommend approval .
211 Information and Referral program has requested $40 , 000 for the 211 information
and referral system operated by United Way . This is an increase of $ 15 , 000 over the 2018
funding level of $25 , 000 . The recommended budget includes base level funding of
$25 , 000 . Increase in funding is a Board policy issue .

COMMUNITY AGENCY G

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION ( Continued ) :
Audio Information Network of Colorado (formerly Radio Reading Service of the
Rockies) has requested $5 , 737 to provide radio reading services for the visually impaired
in Weld County. This is the same as 2018 . Recommend approval .
Youth and Family Connections (YFC ) is requesting a total $08 , 045 . $31 , 323 is Weld
County's share of law enforcement support from the Sheriff. To have better accountability
for the services requested and management of the services the Sheriff will budget any
funds for this service in his budget, if he desires the services. The Sheriff after discussion
with the YFC Director determined there were not identifiable services the Sheriff wished
to fund in his budget.
$37 , 323 is requested for the Direct Services Case Management, High Fidelity Wraparound
Support, and Systems Navigation services. Again , to have better accountability for the
service request and management of the service Human Services would budget any funds
for this service in the Human Services budget. Human Services is declining funding since
none of the current participants are child welfare clients . If the department does put a
youth into this service , it will reimburse for the cost of his/her participation .
Therefore , no funds are in this budget for either service .
Collaborative Management Program (formerly the Interagency Oversight Group ) this
will be funded in Social Services Fund . No funding from Social Services for state FY 2018-
2019 due to lack of a signed MOU among mandated partners .
Homeless Shelters have not been funded in the past by General Fund dollars. Catholic
Charities, A Woman 's Place , and Greeley Transitional House did not request General
Fund monies for 2019 . Human Services has been doing a $20 , 000 program with a voucher
process through CSBG for the shelters . If the homeless shelters are funded it should be
by a Human Services allocation of CSBG dollars as vouchers to clients or other Human
Services program funds. Recommend no General Fund funding . Social Services may
fund with CSBG funds , if funds are available .
Weld 's Way Home has requested $25 , 000 for 2019 . In 2018 the county funded $5 , 000 .
The funding would be for the Weld 's Way Home (WWH ) effort, which is a long-term
countywide strategic plan to address homelessness and housing instability. WWH does
not intend to offer direct services ; instead they aim to support and expand the capacity of
the expert service provider already addressing this challenge in Weld County. Funding is
a policy issue for the Board .
RSVP has requested $5 , 000 for 2019 . Board funded the $5 , 500 request on a one-time
basis in 2015 only. The funding is to help the agency with increased costs associated with
service provided seniors in the community . Funding is a policy issue for the Board .

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : No change . Treasurer's staff will continue the administrative function ,
and Upstate Colorado will be doing the marketing and fundraising function for the same contract
amount of $ 116 , 498 in 2019 .
No funding is included in the General Fund for student grants. If funding is required for the student
grants the amount should come from the Economic Development Trust Fund for one more year.
The exact amount of ongoing financial support will depend upon what impacts the changes being
made for the 2018-2019 academic year will make , such as limiting grants to $2 , 000 per year, last
dollar in for financial assistance versus first dollar, and limiting payment to only students attending
institutions in Colorado and adjacent states .
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION : Funding level for administration , and
funding level for student grants is a policy issue for the Board .

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : The Weld County Extension Advisory Council and Extension staff
developed a strategic plan to expand 4-H programming and participation in Weld County. This
plan addresses concerns expressed by the Council that 4-H programming was reaching only
about six percent ( 6% ) of youth in the county who are 4-H aged (5- 18 ). In developing this plan ,
discussions were held with other youth-serving organizations in the county to gain input and
perspective of the need for more positive youth development opportunities in Weld County. The
plan recommends the addition of two (2 ) FTE 4-H Program Associates ($ 116 , 971 ) who will work
from within their communities to grow 4-H community clubs , members, and volunteers , and to
substantially increase outreach activities, including STEM based out-of-school , school
enrichment, and other community based activities. Increases in Supplies ($4 , 000 ) and Purchased
Services ($6 , 000 ) for mileage and travel to support these positions are also included .
Also in Personnel Services , the addition of $ 19 , 812 for a . 5 FTE , Weld Colorado Master Gardener
(CMG ) Coordinator was added ( includes benefits ). The Coordinator position will support the
Horticulture/Agriculture Extension Agent in general and clerical management duties of the CMG
program , allowing the Agent to focus on educational programming and customer service . The
demand for CMG information , and the size of the CMG volunteer base and activities has grown
significantly. The addition of the Coordinator position will allow the Extension Agent to focus on
the educational programs and technical assistance requests she receives.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION : Funds for the 2 . 625 FTE are included .
However, it is a policy issue for the Board as to whether to expand both the 4- H program and the
Master Gardener program in accordance with the recommendation of the Weld County Extension
Advisory Council .

SUMMARY OF CHANGES : Budget reflects a 15% decrease in health insurance costs. This
means that over the last five years health insurance costs are down 11 . 8% . 2019 salary increases
are a policy issue for the Board , but there are funds for step increases due to employees in 2019
and 3 . 0 percent contingency salary amount included in this budget. There are no other benefit
changes. The cost for 2019 is $ 1 , 105 , 194 .
There is an additional 2% increase for a total of 5% at a cost of $601 , 260 for all Sheriff deputy
and correctional officer career positions to remain competitive with other law enforcement
agencies in the area . The strategy would be to do 5% salary increases in 2019 , 2020 and 2021
to bring the positions to a more competitive level for recruitment and retention of law enforcement
positions in Weld County.
FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION : Salary adjustment amount is a Board
policy issue .
