COMMISSIONER COORDINATOR REPORTS: Commissioner Conway reported that the
Governor vetoed HB 1375, and he stated the Governor talked about the importance of collaboration for
economic development, but apparently doesn't realize that the counties don't have a seat at the table
regarding those tax revenues. He referred to the many agreements between the County and
municipalities, but noted they exist only because the mayors are willing to communicate and negotiate.
He said, although this will not likely have an immediate impact on the citizens of Weld County, it
highlights the Governor's disconnect with the non-metropolitan parts of the State. Commissioner
Freeman said the Governor is opposed to (Tax Increment Financing) TIFs, so his reasons for the veto
of HB 1375 seemed confused. Commissioner Garcia stated that these vetoes were not a surprise to
him, because very little that is good has come out of Denver in the past few years; but, that being said,
the passage of HB 1371 was encouraging because it was supported by Treasurers and Assessors

throughout the State. El Commissioner Garcia attended the County Attorney's Conference where
legal issues, such as Safeway, Inc.'s request for abatements, were discussed. In response to
questions, he said Arapahoe County, the first to go before the District Court, has prevailed; the appeals
are all being handled separately. a Commissioner Conway said the South Platte Roundtable met
recently and is moving forward on Phase II, the Groundwater discussion is ongoing, and two grants
were approved for aquifer monitoring in Albert County. He also stated there is a lot of work to do in the
next 30-60 days. Commissioner Conway said the Greeley-Weld Airport Honor Flight Breakfast, to
honor the participants and the volunteers, as well as the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, will be held this
coming Saturday, and commended the airport for putting this together. He mentioned the Rocky
Mountain Air Show will be hosted there in August.
