The other 50% is to be allocated between the two purposes at the direction of a committee of three County Commissioners and three school district representatives. The purpose of the funds from the Forest Service is to mitigate the impacts of the federal lands to the county and school districts in the form of a payment in lieu of taxes, since the federal lands are tax exempt. Even though only five Weld County school districts (Eaton RE -2, Ault -Highland RE -9, Briggsdale RE -11, Prairie RE -11, and Pawnee RE -12) are located in the 192,930 acres of the Pawnee Grasslands under HB 09-1250 the amount of funds allocated to each school district in the county shall be in the proportion that its pupil enrollment during the preceding school year bears to the aggregate pupil enrollment in all districts in the county during said preceding school year. In accordance with HB 09-1250 school districts within each county receiving such funds shall select a total of three representatives to meet with three County Commissioners to discuss the allocation of the unallocated portion of the funds. There is no statutory guidance or no statutory requirement how the three school district representatives will be selected. This is at the discretion of the local school districts. The three Weld County school district selected by all the Weld County school districts to serve on this committee per HB 09-1250 are: • Superintendent of Weld School District RE -5l Johnstown -Milliken • Superintendent of Weld School District RE -9 Ault -Highland • Superintendent of Weld School District RE -12 Pawnee In accordance with HB 09-1250 it is necessary for all Weld County school districts receiving Forest Service funds allocated under HB 09-1250 to formally authorize the three selected school representatives to make a binding decision on the agreed upon allocation methodology.
