Dear Mr. Goulding:
The Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, hereby
certifies, in accordance with the provisions of Section 35-5-120, -
CRS 1973, as amended, that a pest control district has been established
in accordance with the provisions of Title 35, Article 5, CRS 1973,
as amended. The district to be known as the Chalk Bluffs Pest Control
District has been established by a positive vote of 100% of the
property owners in the proposed district, consisting of approximately
19,840 acres. The district has been established for grasshopper

The Board further certifies that 100% of the property owners and
lessees within the Chalk Bluffs Pest Control District have agreed to
pay their proportionate share of the cost per acre for grasshopper
control as determined by the Commissioner of Agriculture.
The Board hereby petitions the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State
of Colorado to request that the Governor make available funds from
the Governor's Agricultural Emergency Fund to the State Department of
Agriculture in the amount of $9,920 to be used as matching funds to
those provided by federal sources and district landowners in order
to control the grasshoppers infesting the district. The Board requests
that upon receipt of this certification, the Commissioner of Agriculture
immediately direct operations to commence to control the grasshoppers
in the Chalk Bluffs Pest Control District,
Sincerely,
Ed Dunbar, Chairman
