APPROVAL OF MINUTES-MAY 16,2018:Ray Patch moved to approve the Minutes of May 16, 2018. The motion was seconded by Garrett Varra,and it carried unanimously. III. DEPARTMENT HEAD PRESENTATIONS: A. DR. MARK WALLACE-DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT: Dr. Wallace stated, in 1994,he became involved with the department as a medical advisor and has been the Director since 2000. He explained the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) delegates responsibilities via contracts, to 50 Health Departments across the state. He noted the Weld County department is one of only six in the state (only 200 nationwide) which are accredited and capable of meeting rigorous standards to promote and protect the health of its citizens. He reviewed the basic roles and responsibilities of the WCDPHE, as follows: provide public information, strive for health which is good for business and lowers costs, work on certain best practice policies for local municipalities within Weld County, regulatory work as delegated by the CDPHE (restaurant inspections, child care facilities, swimming pools, air and water quality), and locally regulate tattoo/body art facilities. He referenced the 2017 Annual Report Handout(Exhibit A)and stated the department is very mindful of the anticipated growth to ensure they are prepared to respond to emerging infections, the opioid and heroin epidemic, food-borne illnesses, etc. He discussed the department structure, purpose of the Board of Health, and the working relationship with the Department of Planning Services,local hospitals and medical providers. He also noted the accreditation status encourages an analyzed approach to work quality and standards,as well as transparency through the Thriving Weld Data Dashboard for 24/7 accessibility. Dr. Wallace suggested a possible change to the Charter to update the name from `Department of Health Services' to `Department of Public Health'. He also noted the need to reorganize the department without formal amendment to the Charter to allow ongoing responsiveness to the needs in the community. He stated the Home Rule Charter structure is unique, allowing him direct and frequent access to his Commissioner Coordinator, without the delay of going through the Board of Health to get direction or make internal structure changes, when necessary. In response to Mr. Kisker, Dr. Wallace confirmed his intent for ongoing analysis of the intuitive nature of the website and noted they also utilize 2018-3884 Page 1 &C0013 advertising, telephone directories, social media, and word of mouth to notify the public of events and services. B. TOM PARKO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING SERVICES/BUILDING INSPECTIONS: Mr.Parko stated he was hired in 2010 as the Planning Manager and was later promoted to Director in 2012. He submitted a Department Organization Chart(Exhibit B),Population and Development Report (Exhibit C) and Work Output Summary (Exhibit D) for the HRCC members to review. He stated the department coordinates with 32 municipalities within Weld County, which is the highest in the State, and explained the roles and responsibilities of the various division staff. Mr. Parko submitted proposed revisions to Section 4-4(A)(2)(d) (Exhibit E) concerning the various outside agencies the department coordinates with. Mr. Dominguez requested general language so any future name or status changes do not require charter revisions. Mr. Parko suggested deleting Section 4-4(A)(2)(e) concerning County parks; however, it was subsequently corrected by Ms. Finch that the County does have the Missile Site Park. He also addressed the need for enhancements to improve transparency and ease of locating public information on the departmental web page, and explained staff is still working to refine the online Accela database. C. RYAN ROSE, DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: See email comments marked Exhibit F. D. PATTI RUSSELL, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES: Ms. Russell stated she has been the Human Resources Director for ten years and the primary role of the department is to follow federal/state/local laws. She reports directly to the Director of Finance and Administration, offers guidance to department heads and managers concerning personnel matters, manages employee FMLA, ADA, and HIPPA, and coordinates the County's Wellness program, employee benefits, payroll data entry, employee action changes and performance management, and the employee clinic. Ms. Russell suggested revisions to Sections 4-2(B)(6) to pluralize "elected officials" in the second sentence, and clarify "qualified candidates" should be interviewed, versus a "list" of candidates. Mr. Kisker commented in his experience the working manager typically determines qualifications and makes hiring recommendations. Ms.Russell clarified the elected officials are responsible for interviewing candidates for Department Head and Deputy positions, but she agreed to draft and submit clarifying language for future consideration. In response to Mr. Lawley, Ms. Russell explained the Department of Human Resources falls under the Department of Finance and Administration, so she reports directly to Mr. Warden and also meets with the Commissioner Coordinator every other week. She stated this structure provides her with direct access to the Board in an emergency; however, they do not discuss personnel staff matters. She also confirmed she has not received any political pressure while fulfilling her responsibilities. E. ESTHER GESICK, CLERK TO THE BOARD: Ms. Gesick gave a general overview of the roles called out in the Charter and displayed the original Minutes Book'A' of St.Vrain Page 2 County, first entry dated October 6, 1859, before Weld County was established. She emphasized the importance of cherishing and caring for the vast quantity of preserved historical County records, meshed with adapting and enhancing the records system with new technology and ensuring that the various records and filing systems endure and are accessible. She also described the unique function of the Clerk to the Board which coordinates with every department in the County to assist them with scheduling, processing, and finalizing all of the business which needs to be presented to the Board of Commissioners. She stated the CTB staff mush become educated in the various governmental functions,such as zoning and land use,health regulations,property tax,legal terminology, liquor licensing, road right-of-way information, etc. Mr. Dominguez stated Section 3-7(1)indicates Deputy Clerks to the Board are subject to the Personnel provisions of Article IV(B), and the Clerk to the Board may be made subject to those provisions by Resolution. Mr. Barker clarified, originally, the role of Clerk to the Board was a responsibility of the County Clerk and Recorder; however, in 1990, it was broken out as a separate office appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. There was discussion concerning the difference between an At-Will employee, versus contracted employees. Ms. Gesick stated the Charter's description of the role is very general which allows for a broad acceptance of job responsibilities. At Mr. Kisker's request, Ms. Gesick also agreed to provide him with an explanation of the current filing system to assist with researching the public records online. IV.. NEW BUSINESS: A. HOUSEKEEPING—(See Exhibit G): 1. Number of Departments - Section 3-6(1): Mr. Barker recommended the title of Department of Finance be amended to add"and Administration," and in subparagraph (2) the reference to "four" major departments should be corrected to "three". He explained it is up to the five-member Board how they divide the coordinator responsibilities for four departments. He noted Social Services is actually a state department and should not be called out in the Charter in the event the State ever pulls the roll back under its direct in-house supervision. Following discussion, Mr. Varra made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Gluck, to recommend an amendment to Section 3-6(1)to correct the title to state"Department of Finance and Administration," and to Section 3-6(2) to change "four" to "three" major departments. There was also discussion concerning the ability to hire a future County Administrator and identify divisions under that position's oversight, with consensus to include this topic in the overall report for future consideration. The motion carried unanimously. 2. Compensation—Section 3-9(3): Mr. Patch moved to delete this section. The motion was seconded by Mr. Kisker, and it carried unanimously. 3. "Official Meetings"—Section 3-11(1): Mr.Dominguez moved to designate the section as "Official" meetings, replace the word "except" with "however, and delete the existing"however"to read as follows: "Regular Board meetings shall be held at least twice weekly on days to be determined by the Board by resolution; however, a regular meeting may be cancelled by resolution of the Board passed and publicly announced Page 3 at least ten (10) days prior to the cancelled meeting date." The motion was seconded by Mr. Varra, and it carried unanimously. 4. Hospital Division — Sections 4-3(A) re-title "Division of Public Health Services", 4-3(B) and 14-7: The HRCC members opted to make no changes. 5. "Elected" vs. "Elective" — Section 6-1: Mr. Varra moved to recommend a global change to replace any reference to"Elective"with"Elected". Mr. Gluck seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. V.

WC Small Business Development Program County Overview Physical Characteristics Weld County is located in the northeastern portion of Colorado, a key component of the Colorado Northern Front Range. Its unique location places it between the Rocky Mountain Foothills and the Great Plains, approximately 40 miles east of the Continental Divide. The County ranges in elevation from 4,400 feet above sea level, at the egress of the Pawnee Creek grasslands in the far northwest, to approximately 6,200 feet above sea level near the Pawnee Buttes situated in far northeast part of the County. The County has a number of valuable streams and rivers -- the Big Thompson, the Cache la Poudre, St. Vrain and the South Platte, with its tributaries that flow into Weld County from the south and west, and continue to the east. These rivers facilitate a water system that delivers water to farmland throughout the county, through some of the largest and most complex reservoir and irrigation systems in the world. The Country consists of approximately 3,992 square miles and is the third (3rd) largest in the State, making it also twice the size of the State of Delaware. The County is bounded on the west by Larimer and Boulder Counties, on the east by Morgan and Logan Counties, on the south by Adams and Broomfield Counties, and on the north by Laramie County, Wyoming, and Kimball County, Nebraska. Located in the interior of the North American continent, Weld County experiences mild temperature changes from season to season, with sometimes rapid weather changes occurring due to storms traveling generally from west to east throughout the region. Weld County's population in 2017 was 304,671 according to the Colorado Department of Local Affairs. The County seat and principal city in Weld County is the City of Greeley, located within an hour's drive of the majestic Rocky Mountains and six major municipalities, including Denver. The population for the City of Greeley in 2016 was 103,990. In comparison, the population in the State of Colorado was 5,540,545 which resulted in an increase of 10% from 2010 to 2016.

The PCPI in Weld was 81.1% of the national average in 2016. The County's average wage is estimated at $46,614 in all industries, according to the State Demographer's Office. According to a 1997 study conducted by Colorado State University, Weld County continues to be an "Agribusiness Important" county, although the degree of agribusiness' importance is declining. "Agribusiness Dependent" counties are those counties which receive more than 20% of total county income from agribusiness industries, whereas "Agribusiness Important" Counties receive between 10% and 20% of total county income from agribusiness industries. However, Weld is the most agriculturally productive county in the State, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In 2012, Weld County's agricultural lands accounted for 5.8% of the State's 31,886,676 acres of land committed to farming. In 2012, the number of full time farms in Weld County was 3,525, with a market value of products sold at $1.8 billion a year. In 2012, there were 856,240 irrigated acres, which is down from 906,619 irrigated acres in 2007. This equates to a 5.6% drop. The overall age dispersion of the County's population resembles the State population, with the exception that the County has a proportionally a younger work force.

In 2009, EOG drilled a well outside the Town of Grover known as the "Jake". It produced over two thousand (2,000) barrels of oil per day during initial production and gradually subsided. The "Jake" made headlines across the State because it was one of the first wells to be fracked using horizontal drilling technology. Shortly after EOG made headlines a flurry of oil and gas activity hit Weld County. In particular, the new activity was focused on the Niobrara play, whereby historically, the oil and gas activity in Weld County was primarily located in the DJ /Wattenberg basin. Horizontal fracking technology has had positive impacts on the oil and gas industry and will continue to do so in the future. The energy boom ramped up in 2010 and continued strong through early 2015, with the peak hitting in 2014. Oil prices in 2014 averaged $80 / barrel. During this peak there were over 85 operators and 65 rigs working 24/7 throughout the County. Beginning in early 2015 the energy sector was hit hard with oil falling to an average of $35 / barrel. Many companies went insolvent, merged with larger companies or were bought-out. Exploration and production has, picked up slightly in 2016 - 2017 with an average of 25 rigs working throughout the County. During the energy boom, the Planning Services Department hit record numbers in terms of work output. The Building Services Division, for example, saw an 8% increase in total permits from 2010 through 2017. Plan review and inspections increased by 52% and 40% respectively during the same period. The Planning and Zoning Division was in a similar situation. For example, the total land use cases increased 139% between 2010 and 2017. The oil and gas boom created a domino effect that propelled other sectors of economy forward. For example, the unemployment rate in Weld dropped from 7.1% in 2013 to 2.1% as of April 2017. In addition, the overall labor market improved with employers across all sectors hiring to keep up with demand. Wages increased while the cost of living remained relatively flat. The County's overall fiscal health and stability led the County Commissioners to decrease the property tax on two occasions over the last ten years and County citizens continue to enjoy some of the lowest taxes in the State of Colorado.

I would be happy to meet at another time and date if so necessary, or if a phone conversation would suffice, please let me know . I appreciate the opportunity to provide the Charter Review Committee an overview of the Web Content Management System and the IT Departments role within the environment . Over the past several years, the Board of County Commissioners have made the content management system and the associated hardware and software a priority during the annual budget process . The BOCC has approved several projects that have increased the functionality, stability and curity of the Weld County web environment . Weld County IT is responsible for the hardware and software that ensure the website and associated systems and databases are available for citizen use, are protected against external threats, and are responsive in design (ADA Compliance ) aid performance . We make recommendations on how to utilize the CMS, but we are not directly involved with the content of departmental pages . Below is a brief summary of the recent activates from IT regarding the CMS and associated technologies — • 2014 — In early 2014, the IT Web Team rebranded the legacy CMS . The hardware and associated technologies remained in - place . • 2017 — In 2017 the Weld IT team , via an RFP process, replaced the legacy CMS with a more modern application . All hardware and associated technologies where replace at this time as well . Additional security technologies were added to protect the sites (www . weldgov . com , www . weldsheriff. com , www . weldda . com ) from external threats . • 2018 — New federal regulations for ADA compliance went into effect in early 2018 . The Weld IT team reviewed all associated coding and application development to ensure compliance . A process called " micro - segmentation " was completed to improve site security and performance . I ' m happy to answer any additional questions on what role IT plays with the county website and its content .
