	Seeing no move to approve the consent agenda as presented, Second, it's been moved by Commissioner Freeman, second by Commissioner	00:13:04
	James. All in favor, say aye, opposed. Say nay.	00:13:08
	All right, now a wonderful opportunity here is we have a proclamation, National Crime Victims Rights Week, April 21st through the	00:13:14
	27th, 2024. I'd like to read this into the record. Whereas crime can leave a lasting physical emotion or financial impact on	00:13:21

	Assistance, Support, Justice and Peace Signed by all Royal County Commissioners.	00:15:00
	I see a remarkable people in the audience that I would love to have them all come up to the podium. I think we will have our	00:15:10
	District Attorney, Michael Ward lead the charge.	00:15:15
	Good morning, commissioners. Thank you very much for having us. And in all Canada, this is my favorite date of the year to come	00:15:22
	visit the commissioners because I don't have to ask you for money. I don't have to ask you for anything else other than simply	00:15:27
	your gratitude. And and that's why we're here this morning.	00:15:32
	Every year for the last 10-12 fifteen years, I've had an opportunity to stand up and thank the members of the Victim Services	00:15:38
	community in Lowell County. Not just my office, who I get to talk about all the time in front of you all, but all of the	00:15:43
	organizations that I'm going to comment on and and introduce here in just a moment to you all.	00:15:49
	Recently.	00:16:27
	In a talk I got to give recently, I always make mention of victim services. Folks are the voices for victims before the victims	00:16:29
	have their own voices back. That is extremely significant to these people because victims, when they have been victimized in	00:16:34
	whatever way, often don't have their voice back. They don't know how to articulate what is meant to them, what is meant to their	00:16:40
	families, what the impact is, both in the short term and the long term. And the people that I'm going to introduce have given	00:16:45
	victims in this community for decades.	00:16:51
	The voices that they need.	00:16:57
	To be heard in the criminal justice system, to be heard in my office and to be heard.	00:17:00
	By the defendants who have, hopefully they're being heard.	00:17:05
	Who had victimized them? So I'd like to take a minute just to introduce the folks who are here. I also want to acknowledge some of	00:17:09
	the victim services agencies that we work with. They weren't able to be here this morning, but I'll start with the folks that are	00:17:14
	here in no particular order.	00:17:18
	Greeley Police Department Law Enforcement Victim Services. I know Heather Wright is here.	00:17:24
	You get to stand up and come up here later.	00:17:28
	This is not your first time being here.	00:17:32
	From the 19th Judicial District Administrative Office, who worked so closely with us about victims, compensation and bail issues,	00:17:34
	and Amanda Mandek is here.	00:17:38
	From Lutheran Family Services, Tammy Fisher.	00:17:43
	Tiedman, I hope I pronounce your name right. Kendall and Melody Fick.	00:17:47
	From Frederick Police Department, Law Enforcement Victims Assistance, Alexis Gutierrez and Madison Bergman.	00:17:52
	Catholic Charities, Stephen McLaughlin.	00:17:58
	From our own very own DHS, Jamie.	00:18:01
	From a Woman's place, Beth Watts.	00:18:05
	From Life Stores, Millie Stokes and the wonderful Chris Eisenhower.	00:18:08
	Yeah, you get that title, Chris.	00:18:12
	For my office, I'm very proud to introduce these folks, Carol Patch. I'm Archbeck.	00:18:18
	Daisy Thursday, you all come up because.	00:18:24
	Danny Michelle Barrera.	00:18:30
	Veronica.	00:18:33
	And I also want to acknowledge a few of our supervisors who are here because oftentimes I forget that the attorneys in my office	00:18:39
	are also advocates on behalf of victims truly in the courtroom with the assistance of the folks behind me. So would you please	00:18:44
	join me? I know all the commissioners will have comments for these amazing people, but please join me in a round of applause for	00:18:49
	all the work that these folks do 365 days a year.	00:18:55
	Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that there is our annual victims rights event this Friday starts at 8:30, right,	00:19:06
	Bill?	00:19:11
	It's over at the Riverside Cultural Center Library in Evans, and we have a lineup of wonderful speakers. So obviously we want to	00:19:15
	extend the invitation to all five county commissioners. But thank you very much for this proclamation. It is incredibly important	00:19:22
	and an opportunity to say thank you, which is not nearly enough for these folks. So thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you.	00:19:29
	Mr. Attorney you wanted Scott James, Commissioner James.	00:19:38
	I don't know what I have to say. I would know that would be a first.	00:19:43
	Mr. District Attorney, I know it is in your hearts to pursue justice, but I know it is equally in your heart, not more so, to	00:19:48
	pursue the restorative justice that these victims seek and and and need, or certainly deserving of. As important as it is that we	00:19:56
	get the bad guy, it's even more important that we help the individual upon which the bed was was perpetrated. So, Sir, thank you.	00:20:04
	For making sure that it's a part of your heart and instilled into the fabric of your office and folks who work in that realm.	00:20:12
	Thank you so much for what you you do. I've grown a little closer to.	00:20:17
	Your your efforts this year and I can tell you that I am certainly appreciative of our as are the people who have been on the	00:20:24
	receiving end of your services. So thank you.	00:20:27
	All right, Commissioner saying, and I just want to thank you, the O'Brien and this entire community together. We all need somebody	00:20:33
	to walk alongside us in life.	00:20:37
	And more so, the data is probably the worst day of people's lives, and being able to come around them is truly.	00:20:42
	A mission, and it's something that is a calling and I just can't thank you enough. Thank you so much for doing this.	00:20:52
	To Mr. Freeman.	00:20:59
	And I also agree with everything that's been said as a victim of crime and knowing somebody that has gone through it, nothing is	00:21:29
	better when they have somebody out there that can support them, give them some peace, restore that confidence that they may have	00:21:35
	lost. So I just can't thank you enough. Appreciate all that you do.	00:21:42
	And we would be honored to have a picture with you all so if we could get back and.	00:22:20
	Present this.	00:22:26
	I know.	00:22:33
	That means you will be here too.	00:22:38
	Understand that these two people in the back Shorty, I don't know where.	00:22:44

	Organization for access to.	00:29:53
	An employee engagement platform, our department for.	00:30:00
	At least a few years has utilized this Gallup platform to conduct employee engagement surveys for our health department employees.	00:30:04
	And of course, the platform allows for anonymous surveys and then provides metrics.	00:30:11
	Both comparisons to other similar organizations and areas for potential improvement in the department, as well as toolkits and.	00:30:19
	Other resources to help address issues that the survey finds. Again, it's a one year contract for $3000. We will utilize grant	00:30:30
	funding for the contract. This was submitted to the Board on a past round dated April 2nd of 2024 and approved by 4 out of the	00:30:36
	five commissioners and I recommend that the Board approve the contract with Gallant.	00:30:43
	Any questions of the board? Yes, Commissioner saying yes, and I appreciate the time you took to speak with me the other evening. I	00:30:50
	just saw some concerns because when probably when you started these contracts, we hadn't started our system with Qualtrics yet.	00:30:57
	My concern is that we'll have some conflicting information that won't go together.	00:31:04
	And we'll have two different employee surveys and maybe some confusion on that because some of the things you mentioned the	00:31:09
	anonymous.	00:31:12
	Surveys and metrics establishing that baseline, which takes a little bit of time. So I just spoke to Ryan about that, Ryan rose	00:31:15
	about that as well. So that would be the only reason I I'd take a no vote today is just that I, I I think we need to stick with	00:31:22
	the one survey over the other and I I appreciate applying for the grant and and having the extra coverage, but that's my concern.	00:31:29
	Any other questions on the board move to approve second it's been moved by Commissioner Freeman, second by Commissioner James, all	00:31:38

	Thank you this is.	00:32:10
	This is essentially A facilities use agreement with District 6. One of the programs that our department has, I would call it a	00:32:13
	resiliency program. It targets 5th graders going into 6th grade.	00:32:19
	District 6 is one of the organizations that we partner with. This MOU will allow us to continue to utilize District 6 facilities	00:32:27
	for those activities. We had a similar agreement in place since August 19th since August of 2019. I should say it was a five year	00:32:33
	agreement. It's set to expire. This just simply extends that agreement.	00:32:40
	All right. Any questions at the board?	00:32:47

	Today you will establish the neighborhood to be served by the license, which is described by legal description in the resolution.	00:33:34
	The neighborhood will be reviewed as part of the inspection process by the board. My understanding is Commissioner Freeman has	00:33:41
	volunteered to conduct the inspection with clerk to the board at a date to be determined.	00:33:46
	And that clerk to the board is recommending that the hearing date to review.	00:33:53

	Assistance, Support, Justice and Peace Signed by all Royal County Commissioners.	00:15:00
	I see a remarkable people in the audience that I would love to have them all come up to the podium. I think we will have our	00:15:10
	District Attorney, Michael Ward lead the charge.	00:15:15
	Good morning, commissioners. Thank you very much for having us. And in all Canada, this is my favorite date of the year to come	00:15:22
	visit the commissioners because I don't have to ask you for money. I don't have to ask you for anything else other than simply	00:15:27
	your gratitude. And and that's why we're here this morning.	00:15:32
	Every year for the last 10-12 fifteen years, I've had an opportunity to stand up and thank the members of the Victim Services	00:15:38
	community in Lowell County. Not just my office, who I get to talk about all the time in front of you all, but all of the	00:15:43
	organizations that I'm going to comment on and and introduce here in just a moment to you all.	00:15:49
	Recently.	00:16:27
	In a talk I got to give recently, I always make mention of victim services. Folks are the voices for victims before the victims	00:16:29
	have their own voices back. That is extremely significant to these people because victims, when they have been victimized in	00:16:34
	whatever way, often don't have their voice back. They don't know how to articulate what is meant to them, what is meant to their	00:16:40
	families, what the impact is, both in the short term and the long term. And the people that I'm going to introduce have given	00:16:45
	victims in this community for decades.	00:16:51
	The voices that they need.	00:16:57
	To be heard in the criminal justice system, to be heard in my office and to be heard.	00:17:00
	By the defendants who have, hopefully they're being heard.	00:17:05
	Who had victimized them? So I'd like to take a minute just to introduce the folks who are here. I also want to acknowledge some of	00:17:09
	the victim services agencies that we work with. They weren't able to be here this morning, but I'll start with the folks that are	00:17:14
	here in no particular order.	00:17:18
	Greeley Police Department Law Enforcement Victim Services. I know Heather Wright is here.	00:17:24
	You get to stand up and come up here later.	00:17:28
	This is not your first time being here.	00:17:32
	From the 19th Judicial District Administrative Office, who worked so closely with us about victims, compensation and bail issues,	00:17:34
	and Amanda Mandek is here.	00:17:38
	From Lutheran Family Services, Tammy Fisher.	00:17:43
	Tiedman, I hope I pronounce your name right. Kendall and Melody Fick.	00:17:47
	From Frederick Police Department, Law Enforcement Victims Assistance, Alexis Gutierrez and Madison Bergman.	00:17:52
	Catholic Charities, Stephen McLaughlin.	00:17:58
	From our own very own DHS, Jamie.	00:18:01
	From a Woman's place, Beth Watts.	00:18:05
	From Life Stores, Millie Stokes and the wonderful Chris Eisenhower.	00:18:08
	Yeah, you get that title, Chris.	00:18:12
	For my office, I'm very proud to introduce these folks, Carol Patch. I'm Archbeck.	00:18:18
	Daisy Thursday, you all come up because.	00:18:24
	Danny Michelle Barrera.	00:18:30
	Veronica.	00:18:33
	And I also want to acknowledge a few of our supervisors who are here because oftentimes I forget that the attorneys in my office	00:18:39
	are also advocates on behalf of victims truly in the courtroom with the assistance of the folks behind me. So would you please	00:18:44
	join me? I know all the commissioners will have comments for these amazing people, but please join me in a round of applause for	00:18:49
	all the work that these folks do 365 days a year.	00:18:55
	Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that there is our annual victims rights event this Friday starts at 8:30, right,	00:19:06
	Bill?	00:19:11
	It's over at the Riverside Cultural Center Library in Evans, and we have a lineup of wonderful speakers. So obviously we want to	00:19:15
	extend the invitation to all five county commissioners. But thank you very much for this proclamation. It is incredibly important	00:19:22
	and an opportunity to say thank you, which is not nearly enough for these folks. So thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you.	00:19:29
	Mr. Attorney you wanted Scott James, Commissioner James.	00:19:38
	I don't know what I have to say. I would know that would be a first.	00:19:43
	Mr. District Attorney, I know it is in your hearts to pursue justice, but I know it is equally in your heart, not more so, to	00:19:48
	pursue the restorative justice that these victims seek and and and need, or certainly deserving of. As important as it is that we	00:19:56
	get the bad guy, it's even more important that we help the individual upon which the bed was was perpetrated. So, Sir, thank you.	00:20:04
	For making sure that it's a part of your heart and instilled into the fabric of your office and folks who work in that realm.	00:20:12
	Thank you so much for what you you do. I've grown a little closer to.	00:20:17
	Your your efforts this year and I can tell you that I am certainly appreciative of our as are the people who have been on the	00:20:24
	receiving end of your services. So thank you.	00:20:27
	All right, Commissioner saying, and I just want to thank you, the O'Brien and this entire community together. We all need somebody	00:20:33
	to walk alongside us in life.	00:20:37
	And more so, the data is probably the worst day of people's lives, and being able to come around them is truly.	00:20:42
	A mission, and it's something that is a calling and I just can't thank you enough. Thank you so much for doing this.	00:20:52
	To Mr. Freeman.	00:20:59
	And I also agree with everything that's been said as a victim of crime and knowing somebody that has gone through it, nothing is	00:21:29
	better when they have somebody out there that can support them, give them some peace, restore that confidence that they may have	00:21:35
	lost. So I just can't thank you enough. Appreciate all that you do.	00:21:42
	And we would be honored to have a picture with you all so if we could get back and.	00:22:20
	Present this.	00:22:26

	Organization for access to.	00:29:53
	An employee engagement platform, our department for.	00:30:00
	At least a few years has utilized this Gallup platform to conduct employee engagement surveys for our health department employees.	00:30:04
	And of course, the platform allows for anonymous surveys and then provides metrics.	00:30:11
	Both comparisons to other similar organizations and areas for potential improvement in the department, as well as toolkits and.	00:30:19
	Other resources to help address issues that the survey finds. Again, it's a one year contract for $3000. We will utilize grant	00:30:30
	funding for the contract. This was submitted to the Board on a past round dated April 2nd of 2024 and approved by 4 out of the	00:30:36
	five commissioners and I recommend that the Board approve the contract with Gallant.	00:30:43
	Any questions of the board? Yes, Commissioner saying yes, and I appreciate the time you took to speak with me the other evening. I	00:30:50
	just saw some concerns because when probably when you started these contracts, we hadn't started our system with Qualtrics yet.	00:30:57
	My concern is that we'll have some conflicting information that won't go together.	00:31:04
	And we'll have two different employee surveys and maybe some confusion on that because some of the things you mentioned the	00:31:09
	anonymous.	00:31:12
	Surveys and metrics establishing that baseline, which takes a little bit of time. So I just spoke to Ryan about that, Ryan rose	00:31:15
	about that as well. So that would be the only reason I I'd take a no vote today is just that I, I I think we need to stick with	00:31:22
	the one survey over the other and I I appreciate applying for the grant and and having the extra coverage, but that's my concern.	00:31:29

	for those activities. We had a similar agreement in place since August 19th since August of 2019. I should say it was a five year	00:32:33
