NEW BUSINESS:
IR 1) CONSIDER PETITION FOR ABATEMENT OR REFUND OF TAXES - ABOUND SOLAR,
INC.: Christopher Woodruff, Weld County Assessor, reviewed his recommendation for approval of an
abatement refund for the 2012 tax year, based upon the contamination of the property - which came to
light during the bankruptcy proceedings. There is no refund because Abound did not pay this money.
There was no representative present from Abound Solar. In response to Commissioner Garcia,
Mr. Woodruff explained that the Board's approval will allow the Treasurer to certify the amount of
dollars abated, which will place this money into a category that is available for a levy by six local
districts in order to recoup some of their funds. Mr. Woodruff explained the assessed value was
changed slightly, to $860,633.96, because the property tax administrator does not like a zero amount.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said refund abatement in the corrected amount of
$860,633.96. The motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Freeman, carried unanimously.

was submitted, a traffic Control Plan is being prepared and the Office of Emergency Management is in
contact with the Fire Protection District which has no concerns. Tom Sorenson said this is a 5k mud
run, with fewer participants than last year in order to make the event more fun, with less wait time, and
control traffic. Commissioner Conway noted that two years ago traffic was a mess because that is a
congested stretch of 1-25, but noted that dropping the participation by 500 should help. Janet
Lundquist, Department of Public Works, addressed the traffic plan. Mr. Sorenson said there are now
three different exits, with no parking on the service road; in fact, last year ten vehicles were towed.
