WHEREAS, on October 16, 2017, the Weld County Council held it's regularly scheduled
meeting,
WHEREAS, the Council discussed the investigation of Commissioner Julie Cozad,
accused of ethics violations for allegedly accepting a gift after attending a North Colorado
Medical Center fundraiser in late January, in which Commissioner Cozad has denied, and which
is being investigated by the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission expected to make a
ruling in December, and
WHEREAS, allegations against Commissioner Sean Conway were made by at least five
Weld County employees, four county commissioners and an impartial third -party human
resources investigator showing Conway is angered quickly, unable to control his temper,
frequently uses profanity and intimidates and bullies employees, and
WHEREAS, those findings were published in an investigative report by the Mountain
States Employers Council, and
WHEREAS, two members of the public debunked many of the Mountain States
Council's claims, as did Commissioner Conway, and
WHEREAS, accusations against Conway of workplace misconduct were ruled on by
Weld District Court Judge Todd Taylor who said the allegations against Conway did not
constitute sexual harassment because he did not create a hostile work environment,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Weld County Council hereby expresses
it has reviewed these claims against both commissioners and believes no further investigation or
action is necessary from the Weld County Council.
The above and foregoing Resolution was, on motion duly made and seconded, adopted by
