Re: Disclosure Pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-18-110 — NWC Development, LLC, Gas Pipeline
Extension Project in Weld County, Colorado
Dear Secretary of State Williams:
NWC Development, LLC ("NWC") is proposing to extend two 20 -inch gas pipelines through
Weld County, Colorado ("the Project"). The Project may require the approval of a Use -by -
Special Review ("USR") Permit issued by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County
("the Board"). I am a member of the Board.
My wife, Janine L. Freeman, and I were contacted by NWC regarding the Project in January,
2018. We were told that NWC desires to buy an option to purchase an easement for the
placement of the two pipelines over property owned by Janine and me which is located on the
north side of Weld County Road 84. The property is listed in the Office of the Weld County
Assessor as Account Number R0515801. A map showing the approximate location of the
proposed easement which the option would secure is enclosed. NWC provided the written
option to Janine and me on February 2, 2018. We intend to accept NWC's offer to buy the
option.
As of this date, it is my understanding that NWC has not filed an application at Planning for a
USR Permit. Additionally, the company has not yet contacted Planning to set a pre -application
meeting. I have had no communication with Planning staff or my fellow Weld County
Commissioners about the Project.
Because I have personal and private interests which may be affected by the Project, and in
accordance with the requirements of C.R.S. § 24-18-109(3)(a), I will not be participating in the
Board's possible hearing for the Project's USR Permit and I will not be voting thereon.
Additionally, I will not be speaking with any of my fellow Weld County Commissioners or Weld
County Department of Planning Services ("Planning") staff about the Project, and therefore will
not be "attempting to influence the decisions of the other members of the [Board] in voting on
the matter," as prohibited by C.R.S. § 24-18-109(3)(a).

Commissioners and Planning staff members are informed of my intentions.

Weld County Commissioner
