	Proclamation for Roosevelt Rough Riders Day, February 24, 2025.	00:14:30
	Whereas the Roosevelt Rough Riders Palms competed in the 2024 State Spirit Championship on December 14th at the Denver Coliseum	00:14:34
	and.	00:14:37
	Whereas continuing its recent dominance, the Rough Riders won their 4th count them once and three 4th consecutive Class 4A state	00:14:41
	championship.	00:14:45
	Finishing the gist over 91 points.	00:14:50

	Sansone, Elena. Did I get that, Eliana?	00:14:57
	Lastly and Audrey Volk, who have a won four state championship rings throughout their career.	00:15:02
	And whereas in the sport judged so much on perfection.	00:15:08
	Roosevelt's continued excellence speaks to not only athletic ability, but also mental toughness in many pressure filled moments.	00:15:11
	Such attributes are undoubtedly formed throughout the season by.	00:15:16
	Working with teammates and from the guidance of coaches and parents.	00:15:21
	We encourage team members to utilize these talent and these traits when pursuing other goals in life.	00:15:25

	Congratulations.	00:15:41
	So I would love to have you just go to the microphone. Just give us your name and what class you're in.	00:15:47
	I'm Madeline Sansani and I'm a senior.	00:15:54
	I'm Audrey Volk and I'm a senior.	00:15:58
	I'm Haley Mayer and I'm a junior.	00:16:02
	I'm Abby Leibman. I'm a junior.	00:16:06
	I'm Juliette Sauer and I'm a sophomore.	00:16:09
	I'm Addie Abel and I'm a junior.	00:16:13
	I'm Hope mayor and I'm a junior.	00:16:17
	I've never asked Stanley and I'm a sophomore.	00:16:20
	I'm Parker Stott and I'm a sophomore.	00:16:25
	And I'm Eliana Laszley, and I'm a senior.	00:16:29
	Outstanding wouldn't like the coaches like to come up as well to.	00:16:31
	I'm not here. I'm so sorry.	00:16:36
	OK. So we'll just go and see if the commissioners have anything that they'd like to share. I just want to say thank you. I'm so	00:16:38
	very, very proud of your success and more so.	00:16:43
	The hard work and efforts that you've put into the evenings, weekends and early mornings, which brought you to the success. I wish	00:16:48
	you great things seniors, when you leave this year and I expect to see the rest of you back again.	00:16:54
	On April Fool's Day 1998, whenever you born at that time.	00:17:02
	I didn't think so. My wife and I moved to Johnstown and we fell in love with the community.	00:17:08
	I went on to serve as a planning commissioner, a town Councilman and a mayor.	00:17:16
	But one of the proudest things I was is I just retired from it this last fall. I was the voice of the Roosevelt Rough Rider	00:17:19
	football team for about 15 seasons.	00:17:23
	And so.	00:17:26
	As a former mayor of the town of Johnstown and somewhere on this diet, there is also a former mayor of the town of Eaton.	00:17:28
	Both schools that are incredibly competitive in athletics and and and palms and so forth.	00:17:33
	It brings me great delight.	00:17:38
	When a Roosevelt Rough Rider team stands before us as state champions. Ladies, congratulations. I want to thank you your parents	00:17:41
	for putting up with your silly pursuits and, and and supporting you in in what you do.	00:17:47
	And I want to remind you that everything that you applied when you became state champions.	00:17:53
	It translates into life pretty well. Just use that same kind of determination and you will go so far.	00:17:59
	Now let's next year, let's do one for the thumb. Is that what we're saying? 1 you got 1234 rings, one for thumb next year and he's	00:18:05
	God bless you. Good luck.	00:18:09
	Commissioner Maxie.	00:18:15
	Thank you, Madam Chair. Let's see. I'm real quick. Let's see those.	00:18:16
	My goodness gracious.	00:18:20
	That's amazing. Yeah, we need a picture of that.	00:18:22
	That's awesome.	00:18:25
	What an accomplishment.	00:18:27
	Going to rival the likes of Tom Brady and other other greats, the New York Yankees, you know, things like that.	00:18:28
	Ladies, congratulations, this is this has got to be an amazing feeling and I heard correctly 4th consecutive.	00:18:34
	Amazing, amazing, amazing accomplishment. Thank you.	00:18:40
	For your representation of Weld County.	00:18:43
	With your school and thank you for your hard work and dedication.	00:18:46
	To what you love.	00:18:49
	Even though your coaches can't be here, we so, so much appreciate their dedication to you.	00:18:51
	And to just mentor you and lead you and bring you to.	00:18:56
	You know the the place where you have the ability to perform and continue to be champions. So congratulations to you and thanks to	00:19:00
	the parents also.	00:19:04
	For all your dedication and working with these young ladies and getting them to and from and supporting their endeavors as well.	00:19:08
	So thank you.	00:19:11
	Commissioner Ross, I want to say congratulations too. I always like to talk about the ring, especially when we have a dynasty like	00:19:14
	this in in front of us, as a former mayor, like Mr. James was saying.	00:19:20
	Godfather of a couple daughters that had a few state championship rings, too. It's, it's always great, right? It's like being able	00:19:25
	to go into battle with those things, but it's intimidating.	00:19:30
	You know, I I know it eaten they would walk around with those things on and you know they it commands respect when you see all	00:19:36
	that hardware.	00:19:40
	Somebody's hands and.	00:19:44
	But that respect comes from all the hard work that each and everyone of you put into it on a daily basis.	00:19:45
	Not easy when you're the champ, everyone's gunning for you and they're gonna figure out what they have to do in each competition	00:19:51
	you go to.	00:19:55
	You're the one they want to takedown.	00:19:59
	Right. And it comes with a lot of pressure. I'm sure you had highs and I'm sure you had some lows.	00:20:00
	And I'm sure there may even been a few tears.	00:20:06
	Or that you recognize them along with your coaches. So great job ladies.	00:20:39
	Well, I just want to agree with everybody of all that's been said. It is an unbelievable accomplishment 4 times.	00:20:43
	I think you need you'll look around and you see these friendships that you'll probably carry for the rest of your lives. And so	00:20:52
	congratulations.	00:20:56
	We would love to take a picture with you.	00:21:00
	OK. I'll line up on that.	00:21:21
	He got out of this easy. Ladies. Commissioner Buckley usually makes you a chair. So glad she didn't.	00:21:27
	OK, 123.	00:21:33
	And we're going to do one more.	00:21:35
	123.	00:21:39
	Beautiful. If you want to show us your rings too, we can do one with. Yeah, that's the one.	00:21:42
	We put our wedding rings out this time.	00:21:47
	I only have one of those.	00:21:50
	Ladies, Congrats.	00:21:56
	Congratulations ladies. Good job ladies.	00:21:58
	That's funny.	00:22:02

	All right.	00:22:13
	That takes us to warrants. General Warrants. February 21st, 2025.	00:22:16
	Moved by Commissioner Ross, Second by Commissioner Kuffler. Further discussion.	00:22:23
	All in favor, say aye. Opposed say nay.	00:22:28
	That takes us to bids. Good morning, Toby.	00:22:31
	Number one Approved bid B 2500007 Fire alarm upgrade facilities department.	00:22:34
	Good morning, Toby Taylor with purchasing.	00:22:42
	Has advertised this business for upgrading the existing fire alarm systems at 5 Weld County properties.	00:22:45
	The little bit was from Denver Fire alarm and the amount of $469,983.	00:22:50
	This amount exceeds the budget that was established for this project.	00:22:57
	Due to the high cost of two of the proposed buildings for this project, the Facilities department has opted to remove the Chase	00:23:00
	Main Building and the Chase Annex from the bid.	00:23:05
	Denver Fire Alarm has agreed to honor the bid with the three remaining buildings.	00:23:10
	Within the bid scope, which include the Southwest Service Center, Weld County Public Works Building and the Facilities Building.	00:23:14
	For a total cost of $117,521.	00:23:20
	And that meets all specifications. Therefore, the Facilities Department is recommending the award to Denver Fire Alarm.	00:23:25
	For the Southwest Service Center, Public Works building and facilities building in the amount of $117,521.	00:23:31
	All right. Any questions of the board?	00:23:39
	Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll be prepared to make a motion. I asked if Patrick would come up here. I had a question about taking	00:23:42
	two buildings out.	00:23:46
	Tonight.	00:23:52
	The Chase Building.	00:23:57
	Has two buildings, Chase and Chase the Annex.	00:24:00
	And the approximate cost was $352,000.	00:24:03
	And so that's the item that took us over our.	00:24:07
	Original budgeted amount for five buildings.	00:24:11
	So due to the stability of the system.	00:24:14
	And no harm or risk.	00:24:18
	Facilities Department is opting to request for new money for the Chase Building Main and Chase Building Annex in this next budget	00:24:21
	cycle.	00:24:25
	Thank you, Patrick.	00:24:32
	There's an additional question to that. I mean, why is the Chase building so high because we just got done remodeling multiple	00:24:33
	floors on that, I would have thought.	00:24:37
	Fire alarms on those floors, at a minimum would have been.	00:24:42
	Addressed at that time, but they weren't.	00:24:45
	So certain areas.	00:24:48
	Were upgraded in certain areas during renovations and remodeled were upgraded but to bring the entire system to a unified system	00:24:50
	that's.	00:24:55
	An accurate amount.	00:25:01
	Thank you.	00:25:03
	All right. Any other questions?	00:25:04
	Madam Chair, I'd make a motion to approve bid B 2500007 in the amount of $117,521.00 today.	00:25:06

	Howard and submitted there did not meet specifications due to the following.	00:26:54
	The proposed paint did not match the viscosity specifications.	00:26:58
	The specifications in the bid clearly stated the vendor shall furnish at no cost to Weld County returnable containers, and the	00:27:02
	vendor shall arrange pickup of empty containers at no cost to Well County.	00:27:07
	The Sherwin-Williams proposal included a subcontractor to supply and manage the empty totes.	00:27:12
	However, the bid identified the additional and unidentified fees would be incurred for the shipping and disposal of the totes.	00:27:17
	The bitter Sherwin-Williams also did not want to agree to standard insurance language for subcontractors.	00:27:24
	And Sherwin-Williams did not want to agree to a list of.	00:27:30
	To list the county to be named as additional insured.	00:27:33

	Air Pollution Enterprise NAP Community Clean Transportation Assistance Program, CCTAP grant funding for County Road 59 and State	00:33:22
	Highway 52.	00:33:28
	Roundabout project and authorized chair to sign at.	00:33:34
	And Department of Public Works to submit electronically. Good morning, Elizabeth. Good morning, Commissioners, Elizabeth Relford,	00:33:36
	Finance Department.	00:33:40
	Happy to be with you this morning to continue the alphabet soup.	00:33:44
	Agenda items for you.	00:33:48
	Just to give you a little background, this is a new application the county has never applied for.	00:33:51
	This umm.	00:33:56
	That means what we call NATME, which is the non attainment area air pollution mitigation enterprise. This was a new enterprise	00:33:58
	created through Senate Bill 21260.	00:34:03
	Commissioner James and I had multiple opportunities to go and testify on this.	00:34:08
	Bill that created 4 enterprises, the Clean fleet enterprise, the Clean Transit enterprise, the Community Access Enterprise, in	00:34:13
	this enterprise that we are asking for your consideration today.	00:34:18
	The NOFO or Notice of Funding opportunity for this was released on November 4th of 2024. So this this bill was created in 21. This	00:34:25
	is the first funding opportunity.	00:34:31
	That.	00:34:37
	Anybody has had the ability to even access since this bill was created?	00:34:38
	So we have no idea essentially what we're going to be dealing with, but these projects that are associated with the Natme	00:34:43
	Enterprise are similar to what we see with our congestion mitigation and air quality.	00:34:49
	Grant applications that we refer to as CMAC.	00:34:56
	So similar applications that the county would make through CMAC.	00:34:59
	Would qualify through the criteria for nappy.	00:35:03
	As part of this effort, there's $17.3 million on this call that they're calling the Community Clean Transportation Assistance	00:35:07
	Grant funding program.	00:35:12
	Which abbreviated they're also calling CCTA P.	00:35:17
	The minimum request is $500,000.	00:35:23
	When sitting down with Public Works and looking at this and our other partners.	00:35:26
	Really the opportunity for us to look at this project that we're presenting to you today came from one that's already in in the	00:35:32
	queue so to so to speak.	00:35:36
	With C dots. So the project that we're asking for your consideration is the roundabout.	00:35:42
	Construction project at.	00:35:47
	State Hwy. 52 and County Road 59.	00:35:49
	And the reason that I'm so happy to be able to present this to you is.	00:35:52
	I first started on a partnership project in 2011 with cdot.	00:35:55
	Where we did a safety intersection safety study.	00:36:00
	And that project was finalized in September of 2011. We have been working on this intersection for a long time.	00:36:04
	It is listed in the Upper Front Range Transportation Regional Plan, it is listed in Wealth County's Master Transportation Plan,	00:36:10
	and C dot has identified funding for it in the amount of $7.6 million on their 10 year plan.	00:36:16
	So this project that we're requesting your funding for $1,794,634.	00:36:23
	Is a funding gap see that does not have enough funds to complete the construction of this project.	00:36:30
	And as you'll recall, I had asked for your support to submit a hardship waiver request last week.	00:36:36
	To the nappy board for their consideration for not.	00:36:43
	Requiring us to have a 20% local match for this $1.7 million.	00:36:46
	The county is already contributing a local match for the C Mac project that we receive funding through the Upper Front Range.	00:36:51
	For the same project.	00:36:58
	That amount that the county will be matching is $287,126.00, so the county is putting in funding.	00:37:00
	For this effort and so we have asked the Natme Board to consider that as part of our request.	00:37:07
	That we not have to contribute another $358,927.00 for this project.	00:37:12
	This is unique in the sense of this is a draft application.	00:37:19
	So, like most grant applications, we asked you for your support and then we hear back.	00:37:23
	This is a first round, so we submit the draft application. We have to come back then.	00:37:27
	Depending on what they decide for the draft applications and submit a final application by.	00:37:33
	April 30th.	00:37:39
	And So what they're going to do then in between now submitting this application is they're going to go to the cdot regions and	00:37:40
	they're going to ask their engineering.	00:37:44
	Divisions units to essentially review the applications.	00:37:48
	The engineering review will have to provide a certification for this project. The good news is is C dot help me put together this	00:37:52
	application. So I feel really confident that our Region 4 representatives.	00:37:57
	Will give us the certification that we need to advance to the final application stage. So I will probably be coming back to you.	00:38:04
	Around April 30th for a final application request.	00:38:10
	I don't know what that looks like again because this is a new process.	00:38:14
	So I I just.	00:38:17
	Trying to get full transparency that this isn't like a one and done.	00:38:19
	Kind of application process I could be coming back.	00:38:23
	To you and then at that time I'm I'm.	00:38:26
	More optimistic we'll know on where our hardship request is for that additional support. So worst case scenario the counties.	00:38:29
	Local match would be $646,053.	00:38:38
	And if you want to then reach out to our partners and and try and help recoup some of that cost with our partners.	00:38:43
	Obviously that would be your prerogative.	00:38:50
	But I do really want to thank our communities that have partnered with us on this project since day one.	00:38:52
	3J has provided a letter of support, the Town of Hudson has provided a letter of support, the Town of Lock Louie has provided a	00:38:58
	letter of support, and the Town of Kingsburg.	00:39:03
	So all of our community partners are also.	00:39:07
	Trying to let the state know that, or at least this enterprise know that this is a joint effort, that we all support this	00:39:12
	application and trying to obtain the funding gap for the construction of this project.	00:39:18
	The total project estimate right now by C dot is $11,063,000.	00:39:27
	So essentially we've put together at least 9 million. Being that this is an air quality benefit project, we did have to go through	00:39:33
	and use their CMAC toolkit to be able to determine.	00:39:38
	What our air quality benefit is through our.	00:39:43
	Carbon dioxide, equivalent atmospheric carbon dioxide. So we have achieved all of the standards and have a positive results that	00:39:47
	we will be reducing.	00:39:52
	Not only improving the air quality, but that the delay that's associated with.	00:39:56
	The current congestion at this intersection location would be reduced by 2 1/2 hours.	00:40:02
	So we feel like it's a good application, It's a strong application.	00:40:07
	Again, being that it's new and this is my first time going through it, I really need to give a shout out to Houston Aragon, who	00:40:12
	has saved point of life trying to get this before you today. So it's due tomorrow. And so it's a quick turn around and I just	00:40:18
	wanted to personally thank her for all her help in getting this before you.	00:40:24
	Commissioner James.	00:40:31
	Thank you, Madam Chair, I disagreed vehemently with Senate Bill 21260 and the four or five enterprise funds that are created.	00:40:32
	For enterprise funds to create.	00:40:40
	I disagree with the fact that this location.	00:40:43
	Is actually in the non attainment area, but they put it there nonetheless along with all of well county.	00:40:45
	I disagree with a lot of this, but I got it. Let's go get some of this nappy money. It'd be good and let's bring it into this area	00:40:50
	and get this project done. Thanks for your hard work. Move to approve the resolution.	00:40:55
	Second, OK.	00:41:00
	I'll give him a second, but I got a comment. Thank you, Elizabeth for your hard work on this. I appreciate it. Thanks to Houston	00:41:02
	as well for.	00:41:06
	For assisting uh uh.	00:41:09
	You know upper Front Range which is falls into this has been on our.	00:41:11
	I guess.	00:41:16
	Dock it for quite a while and it's been a challenge getting funding put together, bringing the communities together, but everyone	00:41:17
	is committed to it so.	00:41:22
	Appreciate the hard efforts on this. Keep this one.	00:41:26
	Roland and I want to thank you all for the all the in-depth explanation on this. This is.	00:41:29
	This is big. One thing I did fail to mention that I think is really important is this is on the C Dots 10 year plan. This project	00:41:34
	was specifically added to their.	00:41:39
	Their mitigation plan, C Dots mitigation action plan for them to be able to meet their GHD emissions standards, This specific	00:41:45
	project, they added three roundabout projects and this was one of them. So I feel like I said, I feel like this is a strong	00:41:50
	application.	00:41:55
	Commissioner Maxon.	00:42:01
	Just a quick comment since we're in the discussion phase after the motion anyway, just again, I'll echo the thanks, but.	00:42:04
	This project has been needed for years.	00:42:10
	Something at this intersection and I know that it's been many years coming, but after working in the area for for, you know, 15	00:42:13
	years or so after taking kids to to games at Weld Central High School. This is a nasty intersection. And and so it's not	00:42:18
	surprising to hear the time saving that this project, you know could bring to this intersection let alone all the things that	00:42:24
	commissioner.	00:42:29
	Ross and James already mentioned so.	00:42:34
	I'm in full support of this and this needs to get going.	00:42:36
	Safety. That's a safety issue.	00:42:39
	So when I heard it was a motion by Commissioner James, second by Commissioner Maxie. Further discussion.	00:42:42
	All in favor, say aye. Opposed say nay.	00:42:48
	That resolution is approved. Thank you.	00:42:51
	Thank you, President. Consider authorization for access to safe located in office of clerk to the Board.	00:42:54
	Madam Chair, I would move that we authorize.	00:43:01
	Esther Gesick, Chloe White and Jess Reed.	00:43:06
	Access to the safe located in the office of Clerk to the Board.	00:43:10
	2nd Commissioner Maxie, second by Commissioner James. Further discussion.	00:43:13
	I have a question.	00:43:18
	Is this something we need to continue to do through resolution or is this something we can put?	00:43:20
	Just in policy.	00:43:25
	I think you can put it in policy.	00:43:27
	But I mean for today's purposes, I recognize it, but I mean I think we could figure out a policy to simplify it for CTB.	00:43:30
	Yes, I will just for institutional.	00:43:39
	This started as a result of the fact that we used to have a safe deposit box.	00:43:42
	All the way across town at Wells Fargo Bank and we had to have authorized signers to get into the shape deposit box.	00:43:46
	Then it migrated to the Treasurer's vault, thus not our area.	00:43:52
	And then ultimately to our office. So yeah, it has evolved to the point where it is.	00:43:57
	Just internal, but it did have a source of origin as to why it was resolution to begin with.	00:44:01
	But I appreciate, you know.	00:44:06
	Now that it's established with existing staff going forward, if there's a transition.	00:44:08
	And recognizing that I don't know exactly how we end this one to make it integral, but.	00:44:13
	I'll make note of that for future. It would definitely be in favor of that because I mean we have to be able to trust.	00:44:18
	Our clerk to the board and the staff associated with and.	00:44:24
	I was able to get a little bit of history of this this morning, so thank you for that, Mister Parker.	00:44:28
	But as far as being to be a resolution, I don't think it needs to carry that same way.	00:44:32
	Thank you.	00:44:38
	So if I remember, it was moved by Commissioner Maxie, second by Commissioner James. Further discussion.	00:44:39
	All in favor, Say aye, opposed, say nay. That resolution is approved.	00:44:45
	Now is the time for public comment. Each individual speaker is allowed three minutes of period of time in which to direct comments	00:44:50
	to the board.	00:44:53
	The Chair shall enforce the rules of order and decorum and will not accept comments regarding matters which are scheduled to be	00:44:57
	considered at a future public hearing, such as land use hearing.	00:45:02
	And in that event, the speaker will be asked to give their testimony at the appropriate public hearing.	00:45:07
	Either in person or in writing, pursuant to the rules set forth in Section 2-1-20 dot E of the Well County Code. Is there anybody	00:45:12
	here that would like to address the microphone?	00:45:17
	See. Nobody. I call this meeting adjourned.	00:45:24

	Presentations and proclamations. We have the Roosevelt Rough Riders Day class for a Palm State Championship.	00:13:56
	February 24th, 2025 and I can't think of anybody better than.	00:14:05
	Commissioner Scott James because he is near and dear to the Rough Riders hearts for over 28 years so.	00:14:09
	Please proceed, Sir. Well, I've lived in that town for 28 years. Let the record reflect that I am a Valley Viking.	00:14:16
	Perhaps you have naturalized me into your community by a.	00:14:22
	This is a proclamation ladies. Please come on up to the voting that could be so kind while I read this.	00:14:25
	Proclamation for Roosevelt Rough Riders Day, February 24, 2025.	00:14:30
	Whereas the Roosevelt Rough Riders Palms competed in the 2024 State Spirit Championship on December 14th at the Denver Coliseum	00:14:34
	and.	00:14:37
	Whereas continuing its recent dominance, the Rough Riders won their 4th count them once and three 4th consecutive Class 4A state	00:14:41
	championship.	00:14:45
	Finishing the gist over 91 points.	00:14:50
	And whereas the win is significant for Roosevelt High School, but even more significant for the team's three seniors, Madeline	00:14:52
	Sansone, Elena. Did I get that, Eliana?	00:14:57
	Lastly and Audrey Volk, who have a won four state championship rings throughout their career.	00:15:02
	And whereas in the sport judged so much on perfection.	00:15:08
	Roosevelt's continued excellence speaks to not only athletic ability, but also mental toughness in many pressure filled moments.	00:15:11
	Such attributes are undoubtedly formed throughout the season by.	00:15:16
	Working with teammates and from the guidance of coaches and parents.	00:15:21
	We encourage team members to utilize these talent and these traits when pursuing other goals in life.	00:15:25
	Now therefore be it proclaimed by the Board of Weld County Commissioners that the 24th day of February, 2025 be known as Roosevelt	00:15:30
	Roughriders Day.	00:15:34
	We're proud to call the Refrigerator State Champions and join them in celebrating. Sign this day all 5 county Commissioners.	00:15:38
	Congratulations.	00:15:41
	So I would love to have you just go to the microphone. Just give us your name and what class you're in.	00:15:47
	I'm Madeline Sansani and I'm a senior.	00:15:54
	I'm Audrey Volk and I'm a senior.	00:15:58
	I'm Haley Mayer and I'm a junior.	00:16:02
	I'm Abby Leibman. I'm a junior.	00:16:06
	I'm Juliette Sauer and I'm a sophomore.	00:16:09
	I'm Addie Abel and I'm a junior.	00:16:13
	I'm Hope mayor and I'm a junior.	00:16:17
	I've never asked Stanley and I'm a sophomore.	00:16:20
	I'm Parker Stott and I'm a sophomore.	00:16:25
	And I'm Eliana Laszley, and I'm a senior.	00:16:29
	Outstanding wouldn't like the coaches like to come up as well to.	00:16:31
	I'm not here. I'm so sorry.	00:16:36
	OK. So we'll just go and see if the commissioners have anything that they'd like to share. I just want to say thank you. I'm so	00:16:38
	very, very proud of your success and more so.	00:16:43
	The hard work and efforts that you've put into the evenings, weekends and early mornings, which brought you to the success. I wish	00:16:48
	you great things seniors, when you leave this year and I expect to see the rest of you back again.	00:16:54
	On April Fool's Day 1998, whenever you born at that time.	00:17:02
	I didn't think so. My wife and I moved to Johnstown and we fell in love with the community.	00:17:08
	I went on to serve as a planning commissioner, a town Councilman and a mayor.	00:17:16
	But one of the proudest things I was is I just retired from it this last fall. I was the voice of the Roosevelt Rough Rider	00:17:19
	football team for about 15 seasons.	00:17:23
	And so.	00:17:26
	As a former mayor of the town of Johnstown and somewhere on this diet, there is also a former mayor of the town of Eaton.	00:17:28
	Both schools that are incredibly competitive in athletics and and and palms and so forth.	00:17:33
	It brings me great delight.	00:17:38
	When a Roosevelt Rough Rider team stands before us as state champions. Ladies, congratulations. I want to thank you your parents	00:17:41
	for putting up with your silly pursuits and, and and supporting you in in what you do.	00:17:47
	And I want to remind you that everything that you applied when you became state champions.	00:17:53
	It translates into life pretty well. Just use that same kind of determination and you will go so far.	00:17:59
	Now let's next year, let's do one for the thumb. Is that what we're saying? 1 you got 1234 rings, one for thumb next year and he's	00:18:05
	God bless you. Good luck.	00:18:09
	Commissioner Maxie.	00:18:15
	Thank you, Madam Chair. Let's see. I'm real quick. Let's see those.	00:18:16
	My goodness gracious.	00:18:20
	That's amazing. Yeah, we need a picture of that.	00:18:22
	That's awesome.	00:18:25
	What an accomplishment.	00:18:27
	Going to rival the likes of Tom Brady and other other greats, the New York Yankees, you know, things like that.	00:18:28
	Ladies, congratulations, this is this has got to be an amazing feeling and I heard correctly 4th consecutive.	00:18:34
	Amazing, amazing, amazing accomplishment. Thank you.	00:18:40
	For your representation of Weld County.	00:18:43
	With your school and thank you for your hard work and dedication.	00:18:46
	To what you love.	00:18:49
	Even though your coaches can't be here, we so, so much appreciate their dedication to you.	00:18:51
	And to just mentor you and lead you and bring you to.	00:18:56
	You know the the place where you have the ability to perform and continue to be champions. So congratulations to you and thanks to	00:19:00
	the parents also.	00:19:04
	For all your dedication and working with these young ladies and getting them to and from and supporting their endeavors as well.	00:19:08
	So thank you.	00:19:11
	Commissioner Ross, I want to say congratulations too. I always like to talk about the ring, especially when we have a dynasty like	00:19:14
	this in in front of us, as a former mayor, like Mr. James was saying.	00:19:20
	Godfather of a couple daughters that had a few state championship rings, too. It's, it's always great, right? It's like being able	00:19:25
	to go into battle with those things, but it's intimidating.	00:19:30
	You know, I I know it eaten they would walk around with those things on and you know they it commands respect when you see all	00:19:36
	that hardware.	00:19:40
	Somebody's hands and.	00:19:44
	But that respect comes from all the hard work that each and everyone of you put into it on a daily basis.	00:19:45
	Not easy when you're the champ, everyone's gunning for you and they're gonna figure out what they have to do in each competition	00:19:51
	you go to.	00:19:55
	You're the one they want to takedown.	00:19:59
	Right. And it comes with a lot of pressure. I'm sure you had highs and I'm sure you had some lows.	00:20:00
	And I'm sure there may even been a few tears.	00:20:06
	Or that you recognize them along with your coaches. So great job ladies.	00:20:39
	Well, I just want to agree with everybody of all that's been said. It is an unbelievable accomplishment 4 times.	00:20:43

	All right.	00:22:13
	That takes us to warrants. General Warrants. February 21st, 2025.	00:22:16
	Moved by Commissioner Ross, Second by Commissioner Kuffler. Further discussion.	00:22:23
	All in favor, say aye. Opposed say nay.	00:22:28
	That takes us to bids. Good morning, Toby.	00:22:31
	Number one Approved bid B 2500007 Fire alarm upgrade facilities department.	00:22:34
	Good morning, Toby Taylor with purchasing.	00:22:42
	Has advertised this business for upgrading the existing fire alarm systems at 5 Weld County properties.	00:22:45
	The little bit was from Denver Fire alarm and the amount of $469,983.	00:22:50
	This amount exceeds the budget that was established for this project.	00:22:57
	Due to the high cost of two of the proposed buildings for this project, the Facilities department has opted to remove the Chase	00:23:00
	Main Building and the Chase Annex from the bid.	00:23:05
	Denver Fire Alarm has agreed to honor the bid with the three remaining buildings.	00:23:10
	Within the bid scope, which include the Southwest Service Center, Weld County Public Works Building and the Facilities Building.	00:23:14
	For a total cost of $117,521.	00:23:20
	And that meets all specifications. Therefore, the Facilities Department is recommending the award to Denver Fire Alarm.	00:23:25
	For the Southwest Service Center, Public Works building and facilities building in the amount of $117,521.	00:23:31
	All right. Any questions of the board?	00:23:39
	Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll be prepared to make a motion. I asked if Patrick would come up here. I had a question about taking	00:23:42
	two buildings out.	00:23:46
	Tonight.	00:23:52
	The Chase Building.	00:23:57
	Has two buildings, Chase and Chase the Annex.	00:24:00
	And the approximate cost was $352,000.	00:24:03
	And so that's the item that took us over our.	00:24:07
	Original budgeted amount for five buildings.	00:24:11
	So due to the stability of the system.	00:24:14
	And no harm or risk.	00:24:18
	Facilities Department is opting to request for new money for the Chase Building Main and Chase Building Annex in this next budget	00:24:21
	cycle.	00:24:25
	Thank you, Patrick.	00:24:32
	There's an additional question to that. I mean, why is the Chase building so high because we just got done remodeling multiple	00:24:33
	floors on that, I would have thought.	00:24:37
	Fire alarms on those floors, at a minimum would have been.	00:24:42
	Addressed at that time, but they weren't.	00:24:45
	So certain areas.	00:24:48
	Were upgraded in certain areas during renovations and remodeled were upgraded but to bring the entire system to a unified system	00:24:50
	that's.	00:24:55
	An accurate amount.	00:25:01
	Thank you.	00:25:03
	All right. Any other questions?	00:25:04
	Madam Chair, I'd make a motion to approve bid B 2500007 in the amount of $117,521.00 today.	00:25:06
	And it's been moved by Commissioner Maxie, second by Commissioner Ross. Further discussion.	00:25:16
	All in favor, say aye. Opposed say nay.	00:25:21
	Bid B 2500007 is approved #2.	00:25:24

	Oh, so thank you.	00:25:32
	Approved bid B 2500013 Traffic, paint and beads. Department of Public Works.	00:25:36
	Public Works is recommending awarding a low bidder that met the specifications for each category.	00:25:44
	For the P20 glass beads, the recommended award is to Potter Industries, LLC.	00:25:49
	At 0.634 per pound with a quantity purchase of £56,000.	00:25:54
	Totaling $35,504.	00:26:00
	Public Works is recommending the Type 1 beads be awarded to Swarco Reflex LLC.	00:26:04
	At 0.535 per pound with a quantity of £328,000.	00:26:10
	Totaling $175,480.	00:26:15
	For the white traffic paint, the recommendation is to award the Diamond Vogel.	00:26:19
	At $10.94 per gallon with a quantity of 29,000 gallons totaling $317,260.	00:26:23
	For the yellow traffic paint.	00:26:32
	The recommendation is to award a Diamond Vogel Inc at $10.94 per gallon with the quantity of 14,500 gallons totaling 158,630	00:26:34
	dollars.	00:26:40
	It should be noted that Sherwin-Williams Company was the low bidder for both the yellow and white traffic pain at $10.70 a gallon.	00:26:46
	Howard and submitted there did not meet specifications due to the following.	00:26:54
	The proposed paint did not match the viscosity specifications.	00:26:58
	The specifications in the bid clearly stated the vendor shall furnish at no cost to Weld County returnable containers, and the	00:27:02
	vendor shall arrange pickup of empty containers at no cost to Well County.	00:27:07
	The Sherwin-Williams proposal included a subcontractor to supply and manage the empty totes.	00:27:12
	However, the bid identified the additional and unidentified fees would be incurred for the shipping and disposal of the totes.	00:27:17
	The bitter Sherwin-Williams also did not want to agree to standard insurance language for subcontractors.	00:27:24
	And Sherwin-Williams did not want to agree to a list of.	00:27:30
	To list the county to be named as additional insured.	00:27:33
	In addition, Sherwin-Williams.	00:27:36
	Proposal did not want to warrant the materials for the specifications.	00:27:38
	Therefore, the recommendation is to award to the vendors in the amount as.	00:27:42

	Highway 52.	00:33:28
	Roundabout project and authorized chair to sign at.	00:33:34
	And Department of Public Works to submit electronically. Good morning, Elizabeth. Good morning, Commissioners, Elizabeth Relford,	00:33:36
	Finance Department.	00:33:40
	Happy to be with you this morning to continue the alphabet soup.	00:33:44
	Agenda items for you.	00:33:48
	Just to give you a little background, this is a new application the county has never applied for.	00:33:51
	This umm.	00:33:56
	That means what we call NATME, which is the non attainment area air pollution mitigation enterprise. This was a new enterprise	00:33:58
	created through Senate Bill 21260.	00:34:03
	Commissioner James and I had multiple opportunities to go and testify on this.	00:34:08
	Bill that created 4 enterprises, the Clean fleet enterprise, the Clean Transit enterprise, the Community Access Enterprise, in	00:34:13
	this enterprise that we are asking for your consideration today.	00:34:18
	The NOFO or Notice of Funding opportunity for this was released on November 4th of 2024. So this this bill was created in 21. This	00:34:25
	is the first funding opportunity.	00:34:31
	That.	00:34:37
	Anybody has had the ability to even access since this bill was created?	00:34:38
	So we have no idea essentially what we're going to be dealing with, but these projects that are associated with the Natme	00:34:43
	Enterprise are similar to what we see with our congestion mitigation and air quality.	00:34:49
	Grant applications that we refer to as CMAC.	00:34:56
	So similar applications that the county would make through CMAC.	00:34:59
	Would qualify through the criteria for nappy.	00:35:03
	As part of this effort, there's $17.3 million on this call that they're calling the Community Clean Transportation Assistance	00:35:07
	Grant funding program.	00:35:12
	Which abbreviated they're also calling CCTA P.	00:35:17
	The minimum request is $500,000.	00:35:23
	When sitting down with Public Works and looking at this and our other partners.	00:35:26
	Really the opportunity for us to look at this project that we're presenting to you today came from one that's already in in the	00:35:32
	queue so to so to speak.	00:35:36
	With C dots. So the project that we're asking for your consideration is the roundabout.	00:35:42
	Construction project at.	00:35:47
	State Hwy. 52 and County Road 59.	00:35:49
	And the reason that I'm so happy to be able to present this to you is.	00:35:52
	I first started on a partnership project in 2011 with cdot.	00:35:55
	Where we did a safety intersection safety study.	00:36:00
	And that project was finalized in September of 2011. We have been working on this intersection for a long time.	00:36:04
	It is listed in the Upper Front Range Transportation Regional Plan, it is listed in Wealth County's Master Transportation Plan,	00:36:10
	and C dot has identified funding for it in the amount of $7.6 million on their 10 year plan.	00:36:16
	So this project that we're requesting your funding for $1,794,634.	00:36:23
	Is a funding gap see that does not have enough funds to complete the construction of this project.	00:36:30
	And as you'll recall, I had asked for your support to submit a hardship waiver request last week.	00:36:36
	To the nappy board for their consideration for not.	00:36:43
	Requiring us to have a 20% local match for this $1.7 million.	00:36:46
	The county is already contributing a local match for the C Mac project that we receive funding through the Upper Front Range.	00:36:51
	For the same project.	00:36:58
	That amount that the county will be matching is $287,126.00, so the county is putting in funding.	00:37:00
	For this effort and so we have asked the Natme Board to consider that as part of our request.	00:37:07
	That we not have to contribute another $358,927.00 for this project.	00:37:12
	This is unique in the sense of this is a draft application.	00:37:19
	So, like most grant applications, we asked you for your support and then we hear back.	00:37:23
	This is a first round, so we submit the draft application. We have to come back then.	00:37:27
	Depending on what they decide for the draft applications and submit a final application by.	00:37:33
	April 30th.	00:37:39
	And So what they're going to do then in between now submitting this application is they're going to go to the cdot regions and	00:37:40
	they're going to ask their engineering.	00:37:44
	Divisions units to essentially review the applications.	00:37:48
	The engineering review will have to provide a certification for this project. The good news is is C dot help me put together this	00:37:52
	application. So I feel really confident that our Region 4 representatives.	00:37:57
	Will give us the certification that we need to advance to the final application stage. So I will probably be coming back to you.	00:38:04
	Around April 30th for a final application request.	00:38:10
	I don't know what that looks like again because this is a new process.	00:38:14
	So I I just.	00:38:17
	Trying to get full transparency that this isn't like a one and done.	00:38:19
	Kind of application process I could be coming back.	00:38:23
	To you and then at that time I'm I'm.	00:38:26
	More optimistic we'll know on where our hardship request is for that additional support. So worst case scenario the counties.	00:38:29
	Local match would be $646,053.	00:38:38
	And if you want to then reach out to our partners and and try and help recoup some of that cost with our partners.	00:38:43
	Obviously that would be your prerogative.	00:38:50
	But I do really want to thank our communities that have partnered with us on this project since day one.	00:38:52
	3J has provided a letter of support, the Town of Hudson has provided a letter of support, the Town of Lock Louie has provided a	00:38:58
	letter of support, and the Town of Kingsburg.	00:39:03
	So all of our community partners are also.	00:39:07
	Trying to let the state know that, or at least this enterprise know that this is a joint effort, that we all support this	00:39:12
	application and trying to obtain the funding gap for the construction of this project.	00:39:18
	The total project estimate right now by C dot is $11,063,000.	00:39:27
	So essentially we've put together at least 9 million. Being that this is an air quality benefit project, we did have to go through	00:39:33
	and use their CMAC toolkit to be able to determine.	00:39:38
	What our air quality benefit is through our.	00:39:43
	Carbon dioxide, equivalent atmospheric carbon dioxide. So we have achieved all of the standards and have a positive results that	00:39:47
	we will be reducing.	00:39:52
	Not only improving the air quality, but that the delay that's associated with.	00:39:56
	The current congestion at this intersection location would be reduced by 2 1/2 hours.	00:40:02
	So we feel like it's a good application, It's a strong application.	00:40:07
	Again, being that it's new and this is my first time going through it, I really need to give a shout out to Houston Aragon, who	00:40:12
	has saved point of life trying to get this before you today. So it's due tomorrow. And so it's a quick turn around and I just	00:40:18
	wanted to personally thank her for all her help in getting this before you.	00:40:24
	Commissioner James.	00:40:31
	Thank you, Madam Chair, I disagreed vehemently with Senate Bill 21260 and the four or five enterprise funds that are created.	00:40:32
	For enterprise funds to create.	00:40:40
	I disagree with the fact that this location.	00:40:43
	Is actually in the non attainment area, but they put it there nonetheless along with all of well county.	00:40:45
	I disagree with a lot of this, but I got it. Let's go get some of this nappy money. It'd be good and let's bring it into this area	00:40:50
	and get this project done. Thanks for your hard work. Move to approve the resolution.	00:40:55
	Second, OK.	00:41:00
	I'll give him a second, but I got a comment. Thank you, Elizabeth for your hard work on this. I appreciate it. Thanks to Houston	00:41:02
	as well for.	00:41:06
	For assisting uh uh.	00:41:09
	You know upper Front Range which is falls into this has been on our.	00:41:11
	I guess.	00:41:16
	Dock it for quite a while and it's been a challenge getting funding put together, bringing the communities together, but everyone	00:41:17
	is committed to it so.	00:41:22
	Appreciate the hard efforts on this. Keep this one.	00:41:26
	Roland and I want to thank you all for the all the in-depth explanation on this. This is.	00:41:29
	This is big. One thing I did fail to mention that I think is really important is this is on the C Dots 10 year plan. This project	00:41:34
	was specifically added to their.	00:41:39
	Their mitigation plan, C Dots mitigation action plan for them to be able to meet their GHD emissions standards, This specific	00:41:45
	project, they added three roundabout projects and this was one of them. So I feel like I said, I feel like this is a strong	00:41:50
	application.	00:41:55
	Commissioner Maxon.	00:42:01
	Just a quick comment since we're in the discussion phase after the motion anyway, just again, I'll echo the thanks, but.	00:42:04
	This project has been needed for years.	00:42:10
	Something at this intersection and I know that it's been many years coming, but after working in the area for for, you know, 15	00:42:13
	years or so after taking kids to to games at Weld Central High School. This is a nasty intersection. And and so it's not	00:42:18
	surprising to hear the time saving that this project, you know could bring to this intersection let alone all the things that	00:42:24
	commissioner.	00:42:29
	Ross and James already mentioned so.	00:42:34
	I'm in full support of this and this needs to get going.	00:42:36
	Safety. That's a safety issue.	00:42:39
	So when I heard it was a motion by Commissioner James, second by Commissioner Maxie. Further discussion.	00:42:42
	All in favor, say aye. Opposed say nay.	00:42:48
	That resolution is approved. Thank you.	00:42:51
	Thank you, President. Consider authorization for access to safe located in office of clerk to the Board.	00:42:54
	Madam Chair, I would move that we authorize.	00:43:01
	Esther Gesick, Chloe White and Jess Reed.	00:43:06
	Access to the safe located in the office of Clerk to the Board.	00:43:10
	2nd Commissioner Maxie, second by Commissioner James. Further discussion.	00:43:13
	I have a question.	00:43:18
	Is this something we need to continue to do through resolution or is this something we can put?	00:43:20
	Just in policy.	00:43:25
	I think you can put it in policy.	00:43:27
	But I mean for today's purposes, I recognize it, but I mean I think we could figure out a policy to simplify it for CTB.	00:43:30
	Yes, I will just for institutional.	00:43:39
	This started as a result of the fact that we used to have a safe deposit box.	00:43:42
	All the way across town at Wells Fargo Bank and we had to have authorized signers to get into the shape deposit box.	00:43:46
	Then it migrated to the Treasurer's vault, thus not our area.	00:43:52
	And then ultimately to our office. So yeah, it has evolved to the point where it is.	00:43:57
	Just internal, but it did have a source of origin as to why it was resolution to begin with.	00:44:01
	But I appreciate, you know.	00:44:06
	Now that it's established with existing staff going forward, if there's a transition.	00:44:08
	And recognizing that I don't know exactly how we end this one to make it integral, but.	00:44:13
	I'll make note of that for future. It would definitely be in favor of that because I mean we have to be able to trust.	00:44:18
	Our clerk to the board and the staff associated with and.	00:44:24
	I was able to get a little bit of history of this this morning, so thank you for that, Mister Parker.	00:44:28
	But as far as being to be a resolution, I don't think it needs to carry that same way.	00:44:32
	Thank you.	00:44:38
	So if I remember, it was moved by Commissioner Maxie, second by Commissioner James. Further discussion.	00:44:39
	All in favor, Say aye, opposed, say nay. That resolution is approved.	00:44:45
	Now is the time for public comment. Each individual speaker is allowed three minutes of period of time in which to direct comments	00:44:50
	to the board.	00:44:53
	The Chair shall enforce the rules of order and decorum and will not accept comments regarding matters which are scheduled to be	00:44:57
	considered at a future public hearing, such as land use hearing.	00:45:02
	And in that event, the speaker will be asked to give their testimony at the appropriate public hearing.	00:45:07
	Either in person or in writing, pursuant to the rules set forth in Section 2-1-20 dot E of the Well County Code. Is there anybody	00:45:12
	here that would like to address the microphone?	00:45:17
	See. Nobody. I call this meeting adjourned.	00:45:24
