REVIEW PROGRAM:
Don Warden, Director of Finance and Administration
Mr. Warden gave an overview of the Weld County Budget, presenting the 2017-2018
Budget. Mr. Warden stated that he knew that oil and gas would not always sustain the
financing of Weld County, so wise planning was always on the forefront. Oil and Gas in
Colorado has a 2 year window to assess for changes in oil and gas contribution to
funding. So, in 2012, the Strategic Investment Plan for the Future of Weld County was
developed and approved by the BOCC. The purpose was to provide the BOCC an
analysis of the optional uses of the projected property tax revenues from the new oil and
gas development in Weld County. The option selected was to develop a long term
strategy of investment in the county's infrastructure, technology and innovation, staff
and workforce development, economic development and to develop a fluctuation
reserve to deal with volatility of the peaks and valleys in energy prices and production.
Mr. Warden ended the presentation by reviewing the County's current financial status.
