The following business was transacted:
IR I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated November 10, 2017, and duly published
November 15, 2017, in the Greeley Tribune, the Annual Meeting of the Southwestern Weld
County Law Enforcement District Authority Board was conducted, and a public hearing was
conducted to consider the proposed 2018 Budget for the Southwestern Weld County Law
Enforcement Authority (LEA) District. Donald Warden, Director of Finance and Administration,
stated last year there was only $10 in assessed value due to annexation of the town of Firestone,
and when a district is reduced to less than fifty percent (50%) of the original area, it then becomes
eligible for an election to be disbanded. The Board previously directed to proceed with that
process; however, there was a delay while waiting to determine if the property would be annexed.
Because an annexation is no longer anticipated, Mr. Warden recommended going ahead with the
passage of a resolution declaring that the district is no longer financially viable and should be
dissolved. He stated, according to State statute, the process will require an election of the one
remaining resident, therefore, staff recommends not adopting a budget and directing staff to work
with the Clerk and Recorder and the County Attorney to hold a Special Election.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter.
la Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve the Resolution to Not Adopt the Budget and
Act to Dissolve the Southwestern Weld County Law Enforcement Authority District. The motion
was seconded by Commissioner Conway, and it carried unanimously.
In response to Chair Cozad, Mr. Warden stated the remaining documents which were
presented to the Board for consideration are no longer valid or necessary due to the action just
taken.
