Re: Additional Child Welfare Allocation Award
Dear Director Griego:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you of the award to Weld County for the additional child welfare
allocation funds as authorized in SB 15=242. SB 15=242 provides an allocation to counties in addition to
the Child Welfare Block grant for the purpose of hiring new child welfare staff, and, in connection
therewith, making an appropriation.
The Child Welfare Allocation Committee decided on an allocation methodology on 4/27/15 for these
funds. Based on this methodology, the award for your county is:

county as of June 30, 2018, in which there would be no match requirement.
2. These funds shalt not be used to provide raises to existing child welfare staff.
3. These funds shalt not be used to supplant other funds. If it is found that the county has used
these dollars in any other way, then the county shall be required to refund their allocation back
to the State to be redistributed to other counties.
4. Counties are required to report to the State by August 1, 2018 their plan for utilizing their
allocation amount. Counties wilt provide information regarding their staffing plans (e.g., Have

as other information requested by the Joint Budget Committee (JBC) in its annual Request for
Information.
