Dear Chairwoman Cozad:
RECEIVED

WELD COUNTY
COMMISSIONERP
The Department of Local Affairs is in receipt of your application for state Energy and Mineral Impact
Assistance funds. These revenues are derived from oil, gas, carbon dioxide, coal, and metals extracted
in Colorado.
Your project was reviewed based on a variety of factors such as its connection to energy impact,
degree of need, measurable outcomes, amount of request, relationship to community goals, level of
local match and community support, management capacity, and readiness to go. Competition for these
limited funds was intense and we had many more requests than we had funds available.
Congratulations! After thorough review, I am excited to offer a grant award in the amount of
$1,000,000 for the paving of two mites of Weld County Road 87 between US 34 and WCR 46.5. These
grant funds will be from state severance tax proceeds, which may cause you to go to election to
receive and spend them. You should confer with your legal and budget advisors to determine if such an
election is necessary.
Please contact your DOLA Regional Manager, Don Sandoval, at 970-679-4501 for information on how to
proceed. As you know, no state funds or matching funds can be obligated before a grant contract is
fully executed. Expenditure of any funds prior to the contract being fully executed cannot be included
in the contract budget or reimbursed by the state. Consult your regional manager prior to expending
any funds. Per our program guidelines, this offer is valid for one year from the date of this letter.
I wish you success with your project.
Sincerely,
Iry Halter
Executive Director
