• PUBLIC INPUT: Maydean Worley, resident of Greeley, expressed her concerns with the
Commissioners' decision to not hold Land Use hearings for Oil and Gas facilities. She stated she believes

that the Board reinstate Land Use Hearings for Oil and Gas. Ms. Worley presented slides, marked Exhibit
A, displaying increased emissions. Chair Cozad clarified the County has never held a Land Use Hearing
for Oil and Gas facilities, because they are a Use by Right and the new WOGLA permit process was put
into place to create additional oversight and review. Chair Cozad stated it would be beneficial to have
Ms. Worley meet with Tom Parko, Director of Planning Services, and Trevor Jiricek, Director of the
Environmental Health Department. Dr. Lloyd Worley, resident of Greeley, presented his concerns about
County codes concerning renewable energy in the County and stated renewable energy sources are

solution.
