| I pledge allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one | 00:07:37 | |
| nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. | 00:07:43 | |
| Thank you so much. It is Monday, February 3rd, 2025, 9:00 Board meeting, Pledge of Allegiance. Sorry, roll call. | 00:07:50 | |
| Jason Maxie here. Lynette Pepler, Kevin Ross. | 00:07:58 | |
| Here here. | 00:08:03 | |
| Let the record show that all a four out of five commissioners are here. | 00:08:05 | |
| Amendments to the agenda. | 00:08:11 | |
| Houston, do we have any amendments my knowledge? | 00:08:13 | |
| Approval of consent agenda move to approve. | 00:08:17 | |
| Second by Commissioner James, second by Commissioner Max. | 00:08:20 | |
| Any discussion? | 00:08:23 | |
| Excuse me, Madam Chair. | 00:08:26 | |
| I was under the understanding that there was an item to be reconsidered. | 00:08:28 | |
| Under consent agenda. | 00:08:33 | |
| Item number 20. | 00:08:35 | |
| Regarding the. | 00:08:37 | |
| Probable cause resolution. | 00:08:40 | |
| To reset another date. | 00:08:43 | |
| Consent agenda. | 00:08:48 | |
| Remember under #20 you said. | 00:08:49 | |
| It just needs to be called up off of consent agenda for reconsideration. | 00:08:57 | |
| For staff to reset another date for the show cause was that the one that we set for March 5th? | 00:09:03 | |
| Correct. And then I think you were out that time, yes. | 00:09:10 | |
| That was intentional on my part. | 00:09:12 | |
| OK cool. So can I get a motion? | 00:09:15 | |
| I think the proper, the proper part lines is simply to move to strike this and then to consider it separately, correct. We don't | 00:09:20 | |
| need is this a chair for opportunity? | 00:09:23 | |
| Like two things. One would be. | 00:09:28 | |
| Go to that date and then call it up and continue it for. | 00:09:31 | |
| Reason. | 00:09:35 | |
| Should be on the different day. | 00:09:37 | |
| You could do that. | 00:09:40 | |
| Or I mean I. | 00:09:43 | |
| OK, so. | 00:09:44 | |
| Motion for reconsideration is somewhat of a clunky. | 00:09:46 | |
| Process to do so. | 00:09:50 | |
| I'm not sure you need to go to that extent. | 00:09:54 | |
| That's what I'm trying to say. | 00:09:57 | |
| I think it would be proper to probably put it under. | 00:09:59 | |
| Another agenda item. | 00:10:02 | |
| That way we can call it a considerate reset the date and move on as in the. | 00:10:05 | |
| Yeah, why don't, why don't we do this? | 00:10:10 | |
| Take it off the consent agenda. Put it on your regular agenda. | 00:10:12 | |
| Call it up. | 00:10:18 | |
| And then we do. | 00:10:19 | |
| A reconsideration of that resolution for the purpose of. | 00:10:21 | |
| Correct. | 00:10:26 | |
| Instead of the date that's there. | 00:10:28 | |
| From this, Madam Chair would move that we amend that up. First of all, let me rescind my motion. | 00:10:31 | |
| It has been moved to no, they're just resenting. So they're sending my motion. | 00:10:37 | |
| In a second. Mm-hmm. OK, OK. | 00:10:43 | |
| And Chair, I move, we amend the consent agenda. | 00:10:45 | |
| By removing item number 20, placing item number 20. | 00:10:48 | |
| As agenda item number 8. | 00:10:53 | |
| All right. | 00:10:57 | |
| It has been moved by Commissioner James, second by Commissioner Maxie to resend. | 00:10:59 | |
| #20. | 00:11:04 | |
| To amend the consent agenda #20. | 00:11:05 | |
| And to move it to. | 00:11:09 | |
| Agenda item number 8. Agenda item number 8. | 00:11:11 | |
| Any discussion? | 00:11:15 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Opposed say nay. | 00:11:17 | |
| That will be moved to #8 now, Madam Chair, I move to approve the move to approve the consent agenda as amended. | 00:11:20 | |
| Second, it has been moved by Commissioner James, second by Commissioner Peppler. Any discussion? | 00:11:28 | |
| All in favor, say aye. Opposed say nay. | 00:11:34 | |
| All right, because. | 00:11:37 | |
| Agenda has been mentioned. | 00:11:41 | |
| Amended. Amended. Thank you. It's Monday. It is Monday. | 00:11:44 | |
| All right, that was Mr. Warren. General Warrants January 30th and 31st, 2025. Madam Chair, move to approve the warrants for | 00:11:48 | |
| January 30th and 31st, 2025. | 00:11:53 | |
| Like Mr. Maxey, Second by Commissioner Peplum. | 00:11:58 | |
| Any discussion? | 00:12:01 | |
| All in favor, say aye. Opposed say nay. | 00:12:02 | |
| Bids #1 Present BID B 2500011 Long Term Document storage facilities Department Good morning, good morning. | 00:12:06 | |
| 4 vendors have replied to the solicitation. The Facilities Department are reviewing those replies and anticipates bringing a | 00:12:17 | |
| recommendation to the Board. February 19th, 2025. | 00:12:22 | |
| Questions for Toby. | 00:12:28 | |
| All right. Thank you, Toby. | 00:12:30 | |
| All right, that brings us to new business. Consider application for opioid abatement grant for virtual telehealth Co responders | 00:12:33 | |
| program for benefit of county sheriff's of Colorado and authorized Sheriff's Office to submit electronically Colorado opioid | 00:12:39 | |
| abatement Council. Good morning Donnie. Good morning understaffed Donnie Patch. | 00:12:45 | |
| Sorry for the rest on this, I appreciate you all getting it on the agenda for this morning. | 00:12:51 | |
| There was a glitch with county sheriffs of Colorado getting it through Rio Blanco County. | 00:12:57 | |
| Because their board doesn't meet nearly as often as you guys do, so they asked us if we could help. | 00:13:02 | |
| This is a pretty important program to us. | 00:13:07 | |
| Co responders are an up and coming thing in law enforcement. Greeley and Evans have. | 00:13:10 | |
| Live Co responders that ride along with them or can respond and they do help us a little bit. | 00:13:16 | |
| In the close areas. | 00:13:20 | |
| Of the county, but when we get out in the remote areas it's harder for us to get a Co responder. | 00:13:22 | |
| We did some analysis and figured it would take about 21 full time staff to. | 00:13:28 | |
| Have a Co responder program for well county. | 00:13:32 | |
| And we don't use them as much as 21 people would. You know, they would be bored. | 00:13:35 | |
| So we got involved with a pilot that Rio Blanco County was doing on this Co responder through telehealth. | 00:13:40 | |
| And we've had some pretty good success with it. It's still getting rolling. We've been in it for. | 00:13:47 | |
| Just a little over six months now. | 00:13:52 | |
| Umm, we had six call outs with them through the last part of the. | 00:13:54 | |
| 2024, we revamped how they're called out. Instead of having the deputies call, we had dispatched to it. We've already had three in | 00:13:58 | |
| January. | 00:14:02 | |
| And it's been highly successful, so. | 00:14:05 | |
| When CSOC asked if we could help continue this program. | 00:14:08 | |
| We jumped at the chance to do what we could to help and. | 00:14:12 | |
| And will facilitate. | 00:14:15 | |
| The funding and CSOC will manage it to pay the corporation will be a partnership there to. | 00:14:18 | |
| To get that grant, they just can't get the grant under the opioid abatement program because they don't meet the definition. They | 00:14:25 | |
| can just be a. | 00:14:29 | |
| In a partnership with the with the government entity. | 00:14:34 | |
| Interesting. Any questions of the board? Yes, Commissioner James, Thank you, Madam Chair, thanks. Under Sheriff I. | 00:14:39 | |
| A big, big supportive Co responder programs, I think they're effectiveness was proven but difficult the size of our county and | 00:14:45 | |
| that suggested staffing to make that happen here. | 00:14:49 | |
| Understand why your office is on this route. This is encouraging to me. | 00:14:54 | |
| Fully supportive move to approve the resolution. | 00:14:58 | |
| Second, it has been moved by Commissioner James, second by Commissioner Maxey. Further questions. | 00:15:00 | |
| All in favor, say aye. Opposed say nay. | 00:15:06 | |
| OK #2 thank you. Thank you, Doctor. Consider Contact ID 9050, Letter of acceptance for statement of work concerning building | 00:15:09 | |
| resilient infrastructure and communities. VRIC. | 00:15:15 | |
| Small dollar grant award terms and conditions and authorized chair to sign. | 00:15:22 | |
| Good morning, Good morning, Commissioners. Roy Rudisill with the Emergency Management, the acceptance letter that you have. | 00:15:25 | |
| Before You is a project related to our Hazard Mitigation plan. | 00:15:32 | |
| We applied for the grant that and that was approved. | 00:15:37 | |
| Early last year. | 00:15:40 | |
| And so the acceptance letter that we're receiving is the grant funding that the state will support to hire a contractor. | 00:15:42 | |
| And help us through that through that program. | 00:15:49 | |
| The grant award is for $100,579. | 00:15:52 | |
| Of which the county has a match requirement of 25,145. | 00:15:57 | |
| Which is budgeted for this year's budget. | 00:16:03 | |
| Sounds good. Any questions at the board? | 00:16:05 | |
| Madam Chairman, to approve contract ID, 9050. | 00:16:07 | |
| 2nd and it's moved by Commissioner Maxie, second by Commissioner Pepler. | 00:16:10 | |
| Further discussion. | 00:16:14 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Opposed say nay. | 00:16:16 | |
| Thank you. | 00:16:19 | |
| #3 consider contract ID 9066 amendment #1 to intergovernmental agreement for nurse home visitor program and HP nurse family | 00:16:21 | |
| partnership and Fe and authorized chair to sign. Good morning Jason Good morning Commissioner Jason Cheshire with the health | 00:16:26 | |
| department. | 00:16:32 | |
| Most grants from CDPH allow the county to include up to 20% of indirect costs. That helps cover the. | 00:16:38 | |
| Cost of administering grants. Our finance department calculates an indirect rate annually, so it's by calendar year, January 1st | 00:16:47 | |
| to December 31st. | 00:16:52 | |
| So we just got a new indirect right. Most CDPHD grants are all, I should say, all CDPHE grants go from July 1st to June 30th. So | 00:16:57 | |
| although we just begin the county fiscal year. | 00:17:02 | |
| We still have about 5 months left on the state fiscal year changing the indirect rate. The indirect rate went up slightly from | 00:17:07 | |
| 18.96% to 19.74%. | 00:17:13 | |
| For the grant in question, that allows us to charge an additional $4185 in indirect costs, so I recommend that the Board approve | 00:17:19 | |
| this contract amendment to allow us to. | 00:17:24 | |
| Recover the additional administrative costs. | 00:17:30 | |
| All right. Any questions at the board? | 00:17:33 | |
| Move to approve the resolution. | 00:17:35 | |
| Second, it has been moved by Commissioner. | 00:17:37 | |
| James second by Commissioner Maxine for the discussion. | 00:17:39 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Opposed say nay. | 00:17:43 | |
| Contract ID 9066 is approved. | 00:17:46 | |
| OK, consider acceptance of donation of $5000 by Banner Health Corporation Center to Weld County Department of Public Health and | 00:17:51 | |
| Environment for 2025. | 00:17:56 | |
| Community health survey reward incentive program. | 00:18:01 | |
| I see Jason again. | 00:18:05 | |
| Thank you again. The next two items are related to our community health survey. Our department does that every three years. It's a | 00:18:07 | |
| really big project. | 00:18:11 | |
| Participation. | 00:18:16 | |
| Let me back up the survey. Homes are randomly selected to receive a survey. | 00:18:18 | |
| And participation has been dwindling over the past few years, so. | 00:18:23 | |
| For the 2025 survey, we the board approved us to provide a post survey incentive award. So for folks that get the survey and | 00:18:27 | |
| complete it. | 00:18:32 | |
| They can get a $5 gift certificate. They have to complete the survey to get the gift certificate. | 00:18:37 | |
| The gift certificates are funded from contributions from partners, so no county funding is used to provide those gift | 00:18:42 | |
| certificates. | 00:18:46 | |
| Banner Health is one organization that. | 00:18:50 | |
| Heavily utilized as the results of that survey. So they have contributed $5000 for the post survey incentive award. I recommend | 00:18:53 | |
| that the board accept the contribution. | 00:18:58 | |
| All right. Any questions at the board? Madam Chair, move to approve the acceptance of donation of $5000 from Banner Health for the | 00:19:04 | |
| community. Excuse me, public health? | 00:19:08 | |
| Survey reward incentive program second. | 00:19:14 | |
| Moved by Commissioner Maxie, Second by Commissioner Pipler. Further discussion. | 00:19:17 | |
| All in favor say aye aye. Opposed say no. | 00:19:22 | |
| So the acceptance of donation of 5000 is approved. | 00:19:24 | |
| #5 Consider acceptance of donation of $8000 by N Range Behavioral Health to Well Counties Department of Public Health and | 00:19:29 | |
| Environment for 2025. | 00:19:33 | |
| Community health survey reward incentive program. | 00:19:37 | |
| Thank you ma'am. This is the the same idea. N Range Behavioral Health utilizes our community health survey as well. | 00:19:41 | |
| They have contributed $8000 to the Post Survey Incentive Award. I recommend that the board accept this contribution from Banner | 00:19:48 | |
| from Northridge Behavioral Health. | 00:19:53 | |
| Move to approve the resolution. | 00:20:02 | |
| Second, it has been moved by Commissioner James, second by Commissioner Pretzler. Further discussion. | 00:20:03 | |

| Wheel loader to replace one that is a total loss. | 00:20:35 | |
| Volcanic Code section 5450, titled Purchasing Policy allows the Board of Commissioners. | 00:20:38 | |
| To purchase an item of used equipment which by its very nature is not biddable as a practical manner, therefore, Fleet Services is | 00:20:43 | |
| recommending purchasing a wheel loader for a price of $375,000. | 00:20:49 | |
| Thank you. Any questions of the board? | 00:20:56 | |
| Yes, Commissioner Maxey, thank you, Madam Chair. Toby, just real quick, just for just for my understanding, it's not biddable due | 00:20:58 | |
| to the need to replace something that was a total loss and we need the equipment. | 00:21:03 | |
| ASAP. | 00:21:09 | |
| It's not biddable because you can't compare used equipment. | 00:21:10 | |
| Oh gosh, so the nature of it being used. | 00:21:16 | |
| Is not. | 00:21:19 | |
| Apples to apples. I forgot about that. OK, thank you. | 00:21:20 | |
