I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, 00:06:53
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:06:59
Good morning. It's Monday, September 11th called the Board County Commissioners, Roll call please. 00:07:08
Starting Kavanaugh's voicing payback Mike Freeman. 00:07:13
Thank you, Mr. President, Minutes. Approval of Minutes of August 28, 2023 second. 00:07:20
Been moved by Commissioner Brock Sack by Commissioner James to approve all in favor Aye opposed motion carries payments legendary 00:07:25
members know OK consent agenda. 00:07:30
Move to approve consent agenda second. Then moved by Commissioner James, second by Mr. Ross to approve the consent agenda. All in 00:07:35
favor Aye, opposed motion carries presentations. We do have a couple of presentations formed from the Sheriff's Office. The first 00:07:39
one is life saving awards. 00:07:44
Come on up, Surprise. 00:07:49
What? 00:07:51
Yes, thank you. Board each, each time we're gonna opportunity, opportunity to recognize the performance of the deputies at the 00:07:54
welcoming Sheriff's Office. We want to do so in a public environment. We started sharing this process with you guys a couple of 00:08:00
years ago. Over time we've transformed that just a little bit to where the the supervisor of those employees that are being 00:08:07
awarded comes and makes the presentation. So without further ado, I'd like to bring certain Jerry Porter. 00:08:13
Good morning, Commissioners. 00:08:22
So it's my privilege today to introduce 2 deputies of the Sheriff's Office that have really shown some exemplary behavior while 00:08:25
carrying out their duties this time, you know, responding to calls instead of inserting themselves like Commissioner Freeman. 00:08:32
Just kidding. He happened to be at A at a crime scene today that I went to, so it was a little big on him. 00:08:40
But the two deputies that we're talking about is Eric Rossi. 00:08:49
And David Grijalva? David's been with the Sheriff's Office for about four years and deputy loss. He's been in law enforcement 00:08:53
since 2006 and joined with us in 2014. 00:08:58
On the 30th of June 2023, about 9:00 in the morning, Deputy Lossy was dispatched to a vehicle that had been carried away. 00:09:04
With flood conditions. 00:09:12
And everybody remembers when all the rain started hitting Weld County. It just happened to be really bad on Kennard 73. 00:09:14
Along and here again ditch. 00:09:22
So once you got there, unfortunately the the elderly man had passed. The flood conditions were too great. 00:09:26
And he just didn't make the right decisions to to be able to get out of the car in time, even though citizens were really trying 00:09:36
to help him. It was on channel at 16 and and 73. 00:09:41
But while investigating that case of grounding and before actually, you know, working on that process, they had roadblocks, placed 00:09:49
the road and bridge placed those roadblocks and unfortunately citizens started driving around that roadblock and thinking that 00:09:56
they could forward that water that was running very quickly across 73 and 16. 00:10:03
We had more vehicles that started getting carried away. 00:10:12
So he was made aware Eric Rossi was made aware of another vehicle that had gotten carried away while he was trying to investigate 00:10:17
the death case. The course had been taken to the North, so he was actually a little ways away. 00:10:23
But despite the roadblocks, obviously we had these these vehicles running that and trying to afford the the waterway. 00:10:31
So in this case, the vehicle was occupied by 46 year old man and his 14 year old daughter. Obviously we have emergency conditions 00:10:40
here. We're now getting taken away and the vehicles getting filled up with water and if something doesn't happen pretty quickly, 00:10:46
these folks could die The the. 00:10:53
Pressure against a a door is pretty significant, and if somebody isn't training or actually knows what to do in flood conditions 00:11:00
in a vehicle makes it really difficult that they lost, he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately deployed his rescue disk, which 00:11:07
is a floating throwable device, on a on a rope. He threw it out to both of those folks inside that vehicle, and his quick reaction 00:11:14
really kind of made the difference here with this car. 00:11:20
And while he was working with this one, we had another vehicle that got carried away and in the second vehicle get the Guava. 00:11:28
David Brava was also able to assist at the Rossi in this case and the second vehicle had tried to forward the flask flowing water 00:11:34
as well. 00:11:40
Umm. 00:11:47
Just like the first two, it got carried away and it was. 00:11:48
It actually had a couple other people with it. 00:11:52
I'm the old driver, a 16 year old son and a six year old daughter. 00:11:55
And two dogs, three dogs inside. So in this case, we actually had the rescue disk that had been used previously that was now tied 00:11:59
up in another vehicle and he couldn't get it free. So that philosophy actually used ingenuity with us. And he got his spike 00:12:06
strips. And spike strips are actually a series of three about. 00:12:14
3 foot long. 00:12:22
Triangular tubes that are hollow. So he used that ingenuity, and in fact had to take his boots off to to wade into the water 00:12:24
pretty far to try to get that spike strip out far enough. 00:12:30
To save this next group of people, including a six year old daughter. 00:12:37
Have both lossy rehabber were able to successfully rescue all of the occupants out of the vehicle. So it's for that reason that I 00:12:41
think Deputy lossy. 00:12:46
Deserves the ribbon of merit in the lifesaving ward, and Deputy David Grijalva also deserves a life saving more, so I'm happy to 00:12:52
present them before you know. 00:12:57
Yeah. 00:13:09
OK. 00:13:17
Thanks David for your service. 00:13:18
There. 00:13:21
Absolutely. We all get it. We all gotta come down and take some photos unless you guys have anything you'd like to say. 00:13:29
Alright. 00:13:37
Perfect. Thank you. 00:13:39
You want to say it? Yeah, sure. Mr. Ross. Good. Thank you guys. I mean to act like that. True heroes and and moments of. 00:13:43
Instantaneous decision making I think is is very. 00:13:53
Impressive. 00:13:56
People's I'll just call it lack of brightness for continuing to drive around barriers and even though you guys are there clearly 00:13:58
trying to to save other individuals who suffered the same consequences and people continue to do it and never ceases to amaze me. 00:14:06
But that's why we have such amazing people working for the sheriff and in his office and and I'm just proud to know that you 00:14:13
represent Weld County and say great job you save countless lives that day and and both of you. 00:14:21
But I mean you deserve much more recommended air commendation than that but I think it's it's amazing and and thank you. 00:14:28
Mr. See, Ohh, swift water rescue is is a difficult endeavor to begin with. So thank you so much for doing what you've done and and 00:14:36
having the courage to go out there, literally go out there and innovate something that saves lives. That's. 00:14:45
That's a tremendous thing. Not many people have to wear with all the do that and that kind of situation. So it just tells me how I 00:14:54
kind of person you are both are. But also that our Sheriff's Office is very innovative as far as crafting those solutions to save 00:15:01
lives, even the ones that people get themselves into due to bad judgment. So again, thank you so much. 00:15:08
I'm sure some of those young girls will remember this the rest of their life and. 00:15:16
Yeah, it it's something that stays with you always. 00:15:22
Mr. Buck. Well, as we take today, looking at September 11th and all the law enforcement and fire departments and all the people 00:15:26

Mr. Gaines, you are a testament to not only your training but your commitment to service. Thank you. 00:15:54
And I would say, you know, I agree with everything that's been said. Once again, it's great to live in a county where actually 00:16:01
people support law enforcement. It's, you know, we've always been huge supporters in the Sheriff's Department. That won't change. 00:16:07

Contract form for the attorney insisted on using the form that or a contract that she drafted for him. And so through the process 00:31:13
the they never did the due diligence and we had some issues with the contract. We never really had a signed contract with the fire 00:31:20
department. I I told them I said look we'll go ahead and I'll go ahead and finish the process of of getting the subdivision 00:31:27
created and that then we'll just go ahead and turn it over to you and have the contract signed at that time. 00:31:35
And so once that happened, they started and we had that, we had done an Environmental Audit phase two. 00:31:42
I'll provide them with that information and I guess nobody really took the time to to to look at that. There was a high pressure 00:31:48
oil line on the property. 00:31:53
And the the fire department came back and said, you know, we just believe that that's going to be a dangerous for us to put a 00:32:00
substation close to that. 00:32:03
And that was after we've gone through the whole process of getting it ready for him, so. 00:32:08
Little bit deep, goes unpunished. 00:32:13
So that's where we're at, OK. 00:32:17
Alright. The media public hearing on this which would then yes, go ahead and open, go ahead and open up. So I'll go ahead and open 00:32:19

Starting Kavanaugh's voicing payback Mike Freeman. 00:07:13
Thank you, Mr. President, Minutes. Approval of Minutes of August 28, 2023 second. 00:07:20
Been moved by Commissioner Brock Sack by Commissioner James to approve all in favor Aye opposed motion carries payments legendary 00:07:25
members know OK consent agenda. 00:07:30
Move to approve consent agenda second. Then moved by Commissioner James, second by Mr. Ross to approve the consent agenda. All in 00:07:35
favor Aye, opposed motion carries presentations. We do have a couple of presentations formed from the Sheriff's Office. The first 00:07:39
one is life saving awards. 00:07:44
Come on up, Surprise. 00:07:49
What? 00:07:51
Yes, thank you. Board each, each time we're gonna opportunity, opportunity to recognize the performance of the deputies at the 00:07:54
welcoming Sheriff's Office. We want to do so in a public environment. We started sharing this process with you guys a couple of 00:08:00
years ago. Over time we've transformed that just a little bit to where the the supervisor of those employees that are being 00:08:07
awarded comes and makes the presentation. So without further ado, I'd like to bring certain Jerry Porter. 00:08:13
Good morning, Commissioners. 00:08:22
So it's my privilege today to introduce 2 deputies of the Sheriff's Office that have really shown some exemplary behavior while 00:08:25
carrying out their duties this time, you know, responding to calls instead of inserting themselves like Commissioner Freeman. 00:08:32
Just kidding. He happened to be at A at a crime scene today that I went to, so it was a little big on him. 00:08:40
But the two deputies that we're talking about is Eric Rossi. 00:08:49
And David Grijalva? David's been with the Sheriff's Office for about four years and deputy loss. He's been in law enforcement 00:08:53
since 2006 and joined with us in 2014. 00:08:58
On the 30th of June 2023, about 9:00 in the morning, Deputy Lossy was dispatched to a vehicle that had been carried away. 00:09:04
With flood conditions. 00:09:12
And everybody remembers when all the rain started hitting Weld County. It just happened to be really bad on Kennard 73. 00:09:14
Along and here again ditch. 00:09:22
So once you got there, unfortunately the the elderly man had passed. The flood conditions were too great. 00:09:26
And he just didn't make the right decisions to to be able to get out of the car in time, even though citizens were really trying 00:09:36
to help him. It was on channel at 16 and and 73. 00:09:41
But while investigating that case of grounding and before actually, you know, working on that process, they had roadblocks, placed 00:09:49
the road and bridge placed those roadblocks and unfortunately citizens started driving around that roadblock and thinking that 00:09:56
they could forward that water that was running very quickly across 73 and 16. 00:10:03
We had more vehicles that started getting carried away. 00:10:12
So he was made aware Eric Rossi was made aware of another vehicle that had gotten carried away while he was trying to investigate 00:10:17
the death case. The course had been taken to the North, so he was actually a little ways away. 00:10:23
But despite the roadblocks, obviously we had these these vehicles running that and trying to afford the the waterway. 00:10:31
So in this case, the vehicle was occupied by 46 year old man and his 14 year old daughter. Obviously we have emergency conditions 00:10:40
here. We're now getting taken away and the vehicles getting filled up with water and if something doesn't happen pretty quickly, 00:10:46
these folks could die The the. 00:10:53
Pressure against a a door is pretty significant, and if somebody isn't training or actually knows what to do in flood conditions 00:11:00
in a vehicle makes it really difficult that they lost, he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately deployed his rescue disk, which 00:11:07
is a floating throwable device, on a on a rope. He threw it out to both of those folks inside that vehicle, and his quick reaction 00:11:14
really kind of made the difference here with this car. 00:11:20
And while he was working with this one, we had another vehicle that got carried away and in the second vehicle get the Guava. 00:11:28
David Brava was also able to assist at the Rossi in this case and the second vehicle had tried to forward the flask flowing water 00:11:34
as well. 00:11:40
Umm. 00:11:47
Just like the first two, it got carried away and it was. 00:11:48
It actually had a couple other people with it. 00:11:52
I'm the old driver, a 16 year old son and a six year old daughter. 00:11:55
And two dogs, three dogs inside. So in this case, we actually had the rescue disk that had been used previously that was now tied 00:11:59
up in another vehicle and he couldn't get it free. So that philosophy actually used ingenuity with us. And he got his spike 00:12:06
strips. And spike strips are actually a series of three about. 00:12:14
3 foot long. 00:12:22
Triangular tubes that are hollow. So he used that ingenuity, and in fact had to take his boots off to to wade into the water 00:12:24
pretty far to try to get that spike strip out far enough. 00:12:30
To save this next group of people, including a six year old daughter. 00:12:37
Have both lossy rehabber were able to successfully rescue all of the occupants out of the vehicle. So it's for that reason that I 00:12:41
think Deputy lossy. 00:12:46
Deserves the ribbon of merit in the lifesaving ward, and Deputy David Grijalva also deserves a life saving more, so I'm happy to 00:12:52
present them before you know. 00:12:57
Yeah. 00:13:09
OK. 00:13:17
Thanks David for your service. 00:13:18

trying to to save other individuals who suffered the same consequences and people continue to do it and never ceases to amaze me. 00:14:06
But that's why we have such amazing people working for the sheriff and in his office and and I'm just proud to know that you 00:14:13
represent Weld County and say great job you save countless lives that day and and both of you. 00:14:21
But I mean you deserve much more recommended air commendation than that but I think it's it's amazing and and thank you. 00:14:28
Mr. See, Ohh, swift water rescue is is a difficult endeavor to begin with. So thank you so much for doing what you've done and and 00:14:36
having the courage to go out there, literally go out there and innovate something that saves lives. That's. 00:14:45
That's a tremendous thing. Not many people have to wear with all the do that and that kind of situation. So it just tells me how I 00:14:54
kind of person you are both are. But also that our Sheriff's Office is very innovative as far as crafting those solutions to save 00:15:01
lives, even the ones that people get themselves into due to bad judgment. So again, thank you so much. 00:15:08
I'm sure some of those young girls will remember this the rest of their life and. 00:15:16

applicant is present and I'm happy to answer any questions. 00:30:31
That's really questions. 00:30:36
Kick the applicant. 00:30:38
Come on up, please, Sir, just state your name and address for the record. Any comments you'd like to make? Rich Johnson, 5745 00:30:39
Waverley Ave. Firestone. 00:30:44
And do you have any additional comments to what? No, I just, you know we went through the process to do this for the fire 00:30:50
department and during the process they had an attorney that was representing them and they didn't do their due diligence. So we 00:30:58
and they had gone ahead. I'm, I'm a real estate agent. I'm used to using the Colorado State of proof. 00:31:05
Contract form for the attorney insisted on using the form that or a contract that she drafted for him. And so through the process 00:31:13
the they never did the due diligence and we had some issues with the contract. We never really had a signed contract with the fire 00:31:20
department. I I told them I said look we'll go ahead and I'll go ahead and finish the process of of getting the subdivision 00:31:27
created and that then we'll just go ahead and turn it over to you and have the contract signed at that time. 00:31:35
And so once that happened, they started and we had that, we had done an Environmental Audit phase two. 00:31:42
I'll provide them with that information and I guess nobody really took the time to to to look at that. There was a high pressure 00:31:48
oil line on the property. 00:31:53
And the the fire department came back and said, you know, we just believe that that's going to be a dangerous for us to put a 00:32:00
substation close to that. 00:32:03
And that was after we've gone through the whole process of getting it ready for him, so. 00:32:08
Little bit deep, goes unpunished. 00:32:13
So that's where we're at, OK. 00:32:17
Alright. The media public hearing on this which would then yes, go ahead and open, go ahead and open up. So I'll go ahead and open 00:32:19
