M O T I O N
Commissioner Duvall moved that the Board table the Mary V. Moore Minor
Residential Development Addendum (#93-EX0235) until June 28, 1993, as
requested by Mr. Barnett.
Motion carried 3 - 0.
Mr. Barnett stated that the following is a consent item and will not be
discussed in detail unless specifically requested by the Commission or
members of the audience.
1. CROWN POINT SUBDIVISION (#S-4-91): 36-06-69; SOUTH SIDE OF COUNTY
ROAD 28 (57TH STREET), 3/4 MILE EAST OF HIGHWAY 287; 8.67 ACRES;
24 LOTS; R-1 RESIDENTIAL ZONING (6-14-93).
This is a request to release this project from the "Freeze" to allow
construction of the subdivision as approved. Staff Findings include: 1)
The Final Plat for Crown Point Subdivision was approved in 1980; 2) The
economy at that time was such that it was not economically feasible to
construct the improvements; 3) Rather than vacate the subdivision, the
County Commissioners allowed the project to be "Frozen" until it became
feasible to complete the project; 4) When a project is released from the
"Freeze", it is subject to all current regulations; 5) The Crown Point
Subdivision is consistent with existing development in the area and with
all requirements of the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Loveland
Urban Growth Area.
Staff Recommendation is for Approval of the request to release Crown
Point Subdivision from the "Freeze" with the following conditions: 1)
Prior to the release of Lot Sale Restriction, the applicant shall revise
construction plans for streets, drainage and utilities to meet standards
in effect today. All appropriate agencies must approve the revised
plans; 2) By Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners, it shall
be noted in the public record that the lots in Crown Point Subdivision
are subject to Park Fees, Off-site Road Fees, engineered foundation
plans, drainage fees and radon tests. These are standard requirements
for subdivisions that were not in effect in 1980 when Crown Point
Subdivision was approved.
M O T I O N
Commissioner Disney moved that the Board adopt the Staff Findings and
Staff Recommendation and approve the Crown Point Subdivision (#S-4-91),
with the conditions as outlined.
Motion carried 3 - 0.
2. KOTIN SUBDIVISION FINAL PLAT (#92-SU0094):
Mr. Kadera requested Board approval and the Chairman's signature on a
Subdivision Improvements Agreement and the Kotin Subdivision Final Plat.

Improvements Agreement and the Kotin Subdivision Final Plat, and
authorized the Chairman to sign same.

3. LITTLE MINOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT (#93-EX0242): NW 1/4 20-04-69;
SOUTH SIDE OF COLORADO HIGHWAY 56 (COUNTY ROAD 8), 2 1/2 MILES
WEST OF BERTHOUD, WEST OF MONTVIEW ACRES SUBDIVISION; 16.2 ACRES;
3 LOTS; FA-1 FARMING ZONING (6-14-93).
This is a request to divide a 16.2 acre parcel into three lots of 2.3,
2.3, and 11.6 acres for single family dwellings. Staff Findings are: 1)
The proposed Little Minor Residential Development is consistent with
requirements for Minor Residential Developments as contained in the
Larimer County Subdivision Resolution concerning the number of lots
created, lot sizes, proposed use, and access; 2) The proposed Little
Minor Residential Development appears to be consistent with the Larimer
County Comprehensive Plan and with existing development in the area; 3)
The County Health and Engineering Departments, the Colorado Department
of Transportation, the Berthoud Fire District, and various utility
companies and other agencies have reviewed the proposal and stated no
objections as long as certain conditions are met; 4) The Town of
Berthoud has reviewed the request and recommends denial because of
potential future division of the 11.6 acre parcel; 5) Approval of the
proposed Little Minor Residential Development, with the following
conditions, should not adversely affect area properties, the natural
environment, or the provision of services or transportation. Staff
Recommendation is for approval of the Little Minor Residential
Development with fourteen (14) conditions.
Peter Cooney, Ron Townen, and other adjacent property owners, addressed
the Board in opposition to the Little Minor Residential Development, and
cited their concerns regarding the access point, drainage and run off,
obstruction of the mountain view, ever-expanding population growth in
this rural area, etc. A list of names was submitted of other property
owners in the area in opposition to the granting of this MRD.
M O T I O N
Commissioner Duvall moved that the Board concur with the recommendation
of the Town of Berthoud and deny the Little Minor Residential
Development (#93-EX0242).
Motion carried 3 - 0.
4. WILLIAMS-MORAINE AVENUE PROPERTY DISCUSSION: 34-5-73; EAST SIDE OF
SPUR 66 (MORAINE AVENUE), 1/2 MILE SOUTHWEST OF BEAVER POINT
Mr. Pedas provided the history of the subject property, apprised the
Board of the current situation, and requested direction from the Board
as to what steps should be taken to remedy the situation. Mr. Pedas
noted the Williams property has generated a lot of interest over a
period of years because it is highly visible from Spur 66; and most of
the time, the condition of the subject property borders on being a
zoning violation. After discussion, the Board recommended Mr. Pedas
investigate the property to determine what needs to be done for the
Williams property to come into compliance.
The meeting recessed at 9:50 a.m.
PARKS MASTER PLAN PUBLIC HEARING
(#248)
The Board of County Commissioners reconvened at 1:30 p.m. with K-Lynn

Department Master Plan. Chairman Hotchkiss presided; Commissioners
Duvall and Disney were present. Also present were County Administrator,
Bill Gordon; Tom Keith and Jana MccKenzie representing EDAW; and
representatives of the Parks Board and Trails Committee, as well as
members of the public. Recording Clerk, D. Lord.
Ms. Cameron presented an overview of the plan, and updated the Board on
some revisions that had been made since the preliminary plan had been
presented in February. She said that the two actions being requested of
the Board were adopt the Master Plan, as revised, and recommend that the
Planning Commission include the plan in the Comprehensive Land Use
Planning document. She also provided survey results indicating support
for a sales tax increase to assist in implementation of the plan.
Highlights of the plan include open space areas, capital improvements
and replacements at existing parks, a cooperative project with the city
of Fort Collins for Fossil Creek Reservoir, and eight trail projects
around the county.
When public testimony was given, considerable support was expressed for
the development of the trail projects, especially for the use of
horseback riding.
MOTION
Commissioner Duvall made a motion that the Board adopt the Parks Master
Plan for Larimer County as presented, and that the Plan be recommended
to the Planning Commission for adoption as a part of the Larimer County
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Motion carried 3 -0.
MOTION
Commissioner Duvall made a motion that the Board recognizes that
additional funding for implementation of the plan would be ideal, and
that the Board work with the Parks Board, private sector and concerned
citizens to identify funding resources.
The motion carried 3 - 0.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:00 p.m.
TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1993
PUBLIC WORKS STANDING MEETING
(#250)
The Board of County Commissioners met at 9:30 a.m. in regular session
with Rex Smith, Director of Public Works. Chairman Hotchkiss presided;
Commissioners Disney and Duvall were present. Also present were: Elaine
Spencer, Manager Engineering Operations & Planning; K-Lynn Cameron,
Parks Planner; Russ Legg, Development Processing Administrator; Ed
Stoner, Fort Collins Inc. Executive Director; and Bill Gordon, County
Administrator. Recording Clerk, S. Graves.
1. REQUEST FOR FUNDING-NORTHEAST FT. COLLINS BUSINESS ASSOCIATION: Mr.
Stoner requested 50% County participation ($3,500) for the
reconstruction of Canal Drive in Crossroads Subdivision to restore the
road to County standards, with the caveat that the County will not pay
this match until (NEBA) Northeast Business Association has voted to form
a Public Improvement District. Mr. Smith noted he is not in
disagreement with this request, but is concerned about setting a
precedent if the request is granted, and expressed his concern for the
County continually accepting roads for maintenance and no increase in
funding is received.
M O T I O N
Commissioner Disney moved that the Board authorize the expenditure of
$3,500 out of the 1992 Road and Bridge Carry-Over for the
re-construction of Canal Drive, pending voter approval of the Crossroads
East Subdivision residents to form a Public Improvement District.
Motion carried 3 - 0.
2. GRASSLANDS APPEAL: Mr. Smith apprised the Board of the Grasslands
Appeal which will be heard by the Board next Monday, June 21, 1993.
3. POLE HILL ROAD UPDATE: Mr. Smith reviewed the history of the Pole
Hill Road near Estes Park and updated the Board on the current
situation; noting that in 1939, the property owners and the County
signed an agreement that public access would be restricted on this road.
Now, the Forest Service wants to re-open the road and has scheduled a
meeting on June 22, 1993 with the homeowners and is hoping to acquire a
right-of-way, either thru willing buyer or condemnation. Ms. Cameron
stated that the position of the Parks Department is that they are
interested in non-motorized access only.
4. CONTINENTAL NORTH SUBDIVISION ACCESS: Mr. Smith briefed the Board
concerning a situation which exists on the County Road going north from
Inlet Bay; with a short portion of the road going thru Bureau of
Reclamation land. Mr. Smith explained that when a road goes thru
government property, a license is required to have the road remain open.
The Bureau wants to enter into an agreement whereby the County will
maintain this road. The Bureau can't enter into a license agreement
with the homeowners, but the County can. The County agreed to get a
license for the road, and the homeowners maintain the road, but they
were approached and said "No", as advised by their attorney because of
liability. After discussion, the Board determined if the County could
get the Bureau to quit-claim the property it would resolve the problem.
Staff will pursue this further.
The meeting recessed at 10:40 a.m.
COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS QUARTERLY MEETING
(#246 @ 1790)

present were: Laurie Klith, Chairman Youth Services Board; Steve
Schapanski, Chairman Community Corrections Advisory Board; and Bill
Gordon, County Administrator. Recording Clerk, S. Graves.
COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS ADVISORY BOARD:
Mr. Cooper stated that Mr. Seth Temin, Public Defender, has submitted an
application for appointment to the Community Corrections Advisory Board
and will represent the Public Defender's Office in place of Anne
Williams. Mr. Temin lives in Boulder and Bylaws state that all members
shall be residents of Larimer County. The Advisory Board and Mr.
Cooper requested and recommended the Board make an exception in this
case. Discussion followed. CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD was to grant an
exception to the Board Bylaws, as recommended by the Advisory Board and
Mr. Cooper, and allow Mr. Seth Temin to serve on the Community
Corrections Advisory Board.
Mr. Cooper informed the Board that the Colorado Department of
Corrections would like to initiate an intensive supervision program in
Larimer County for inmates not yet paroled. The State will provide
reimbursement based upon units and types of services delivered. Most
offenders would move to this program after successfully completing the
residential program and then be primarily supervised by Department of
Corrections Staff. Per Statute, all placements must be approved by the
Community Corrections Board, and even though there are some concerns.
Mr. Cooper recommends the County Commissioners approve this program. At
their June 8 meeting, the Advisory Board passed a "Motion for Action"
recommending approval of this program.
M O T I O N
Commissioner Disney moved that the Board approve and consent to the
provision of intensive supervision services, consistent with CRS
17-27.5-101, and as recommended by the Larimer County Community
Corrections Advisory Board.
Motion carried 3 - 0.
YOUTH SERVICES BUREAU ADVISORY BOARD:
Mr. Cooper reported that Senate Bill 93-134 passed the Legislature and
is waiting for the Governor's signature. This Bill concerns the
supervision of juveniles and provides for the creation of a Juvenile
Services Planning Committee, appointed by the Chief Judge from persons
recommended by the Board of County Commissioners within the judicial
district. Mr. Cooper recommends that the Board consider recommending
the appointment of the Youth Services Advisory Board to Judge Sullivan.
CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD was to recommend this appointment; Mr. Gordon
will inform Judge Sullivan.
FINANCIAL REPORT:
Mr. Cooper reported that total revenue for Adult Services for the year
is $452,735, with expenditures of $451,497, resulting in a balance of
$1,238. Discussion of the fund balance and year-end carry over
followed. Mr. Cooper noted that the contract for FY 93-94 is currently
being reviewed by the County Attorney's Office and will be presented for
Board approval soon. Mr. Cooper stated that the legislature reduced the
State paid per diem for residential from $30.83 to $30.33, but has
authorized an increase in fees to residents from $9 to $10 per day to
offset the reduction.
Mr. Cooper stated that the Division of Youth Services Grant and the
Juvenile Diversion Funds will continue with the same amount of funding
as last year.
Mr. Cooper reviewed the definitions of Success for Residential Services,
Community Supervision & Court Services, Family Emergency Team, and
Community Service and noted they all will be working to increase the
100% success outcomes through the year.
Mr. Schapanski advised the Board concerning revisions made by
Legislature this year to the Community Corrections Statute. With regard
to revisions made to the civil immunity section, Mr. Schapanski
suggested the Board may wish to check with George Hass, County Attorney,
to determine if the Advisory Board is acting within its capacity and
functioning within the Statute. CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD was to seek
legal counsel regarding this matter.
The meeting recessed at 11:35 a.m.
MEETING WITH COUNTY TEAM FACILITATORS
(#251)
The Board of County Commissioners reconvened at 3:00 p.m. in general
session with Dana Klausmeyer, Controller; Frank Lancaster, Director of
Natural Resources; and, Len Bammer, Fleet Manager, Fleet Management
Department. Chairman Hotchkiss presided; Commissioners Duvall and
Disney were present. Also present was Bill Gordon, County
Administrator. Recording Clerk, D. Lord.
Chairman Hotchkiss explained that the meeting was being held to bring
the Board up to date on the activities of the three team leaders. Mr.
Bammer reported that his team, the Customer Service Team, had divided
into three sub-groups to focus on the areas of customer services to the
public, in-house customer services, and customer relations with vendors
and the business community. Surveys are being prepared by team members
for distribution to the focus groups. He reported that his team is
still planning to meet the August 15th deadline to submit their report.
Mr. Lancaster reported that his team has been discussing various methods
of addressing the long and short term objectives, and had held
discussion with CSU and others about assistance. CSU has stated that if
the county has funds for outside contracts, they couldn't be involved.
He said the team was working on a video project, also. He reported that
concern had been expressed by team members for the Board to express its
endorsement of the team's recommendations so that other county
departments would know that the Board is behind the work of the
committee.
Ms. Klausmeyer reported that one of the problems was the "budget" team
designation. She said that there was a degree of distrust that is
always associated with a group identified in that manner. The Board
agreed that a more appropriate designation might be resource allocation
or a similar name.
No action was taken, and the meeting was adjourned at 4:00 p.m.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 1993

Recording Clerk, S. Graves.
1. BIDS FOR PUBLISHING OF THE DELINQUENT TAX LIST: Mr. Gordon reviewed
for the Board the Statute and the procedure followed in the past for the
publication of the delinquent tax list, and queried if the Board wished
to follow the same procedure and resolution this year. Ms. Josey stated
the Treasurer's Office solicits bids for the publication and then
submits a recommendation to the Board for approval. Ms. Josey noted
that expense of the regular publication comes out of the Treasurer's
budget; the cost of insertions in other publications in the County comes
out of the Commissioners' budget. Commissioner Duvall would like to
know what it will cost to do the insertions and requested Ms. Josey to
solicits bids which include the insertions.
2. COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS:
Commissioner Duvall discussed her membership on the Fort Collins, Inc.
Selection Committee and whether or not she should continue to serve.
After discussion, it was determined that participation from the Board
would be in a liaison capacity and Commissioner Duvall will resign from
the FCI Selection Committee.
Commissioner Duvall reviewed the Springfield P.U.D. proposal presented
to the Human Development Department requesting their assistance in the
92-unit low income housing project. The developers of the project would
like the County to provide the financing, own, manage, and be
responsible for the project. Commissioner Duvall proposed appointing a
team, including Staff from the Human Development Department, and the
Advisory Board, to investigate this project further and return to the
Board with a proposal and plan.
Commissioner Disney reported on the CCI Convention which he attended
last week and some of the issues which will be coming before the Board
in the future.
Commissioner Disney suggested a Fall activity for the employees, such as
Employee Day at Elitch Gardens, would be to attend the Scottish Festival
in Estes Park.

FINANCE QUARTERLY MEETING
(#251/#256)
The County Board of Commissioners reconvened at 1:30 p.m. in general
session to meet with Bob Grewell, Director of Finance and Dana
Klausmeyer, Controller. Chairman Hotchkiss presided; Commissioners
Duvall and Disney were present. Also present were Bill Gordon, County
Administrator and representatives of Hunt and Spillman, the firm that
conducted the 1992 audit of Larimer County. Recording Clerk, D. Lord.
Mr. Grewell reported that the reason for this meeting was to officially
present the Financial Report for Fiscal Year 1992. Ms. Klausmeyer
presented an overview of the report and the various sections of the
report. She said that the audit recently completed by Hunt and Spillman
found that the county's accounting and financial operations met the
criteria of operating by generally accepted accounting principles for
government and had received a "Clean Opinion", which is one of the
highest ratings by auditing standards.
She said that the Management Letter, which would transmit the County's
response to the audit was currently in draft form, and is expected to be
completed within a few weeks. Commissioner Duvall asked that another
meeting be scheduled to continue reviewing the 1992 Financial Report,
the Management Letter, and related fiscal operations activities.
Ma. Klausmeyer briefly reviewed the APPLICATION OF THE TABOR AMENDMENT
(AMENDMENT ONE) report that had been developed for discussion. The
report contains three projected calculations of property tax limits,
spending limits and applicable expenditures, based on 1992 budget
figures. Because of the importance of this issue to future planning,
Chairman Hotchkiss stated that this report would be on the next meeting
agenda.
No action was taken and the meeting was recessed at 2:30 p.m.
MEETING REGARDING RED FEATHER LAKES AGENDA FOR JUNE 23, 1993
(#256)
The Board of County Commissioners reconvened at 2:35 p.m. for a meeting
with James and Reba Kirkbride of the Red Feathers Lakes Property Owners
Association. Chairman Hotchkiss presided; Commissioners Duvall and
Disney were present. Also present were Bill Gordon, County
Administrator, Myrna Rodenberger, County Clerk and Recorder, Diane
Martell, Staff Manager, Special Districts, and Mr. and Mrs. Kauffman of
Longmont. Recording Clerk, D. Lord.
Mr. Kauffman opened by stating his concern that all property owners were
not being informed of actions being taken in Red Feather Lakes that is
proposed regarding a special district for roads. He stated that he was
concerned that the process was being pushed through without proper
notification of all concerned. Chairman Hotchkiss explained that the
Board's only involvement in this type of activity is to decide to make
it a ballot issue if enough local voters sign a petition to do so. He
said that the majority of time, the number of voters for a ballot issue
petition would be a minimum of sixty percent to have the Board agree to
add it to the ballot for a vote.
There was some discussion regarding the rules involving preparing the
necessary documents and arranging the hearings on the issue in order to
meet the state law. Chairman Hotchkiss suggested that, as the issue is
one that is primarily a concern of the residents, that would be the
proper avenue for this type of discussion, and once petitions are
signed, the matter could be brought before the Board.
On the matter of the agenda for the County Seat for a Day hearing that
the Board has scheduled for June 24, 1993, it was decided that after the
Board had dinner, the meeting would be convened at 7:00 p.m. at the Red
Feather Lakes Community Center.
No action was taken, and the meeting was adjourned at 3:45 p.m.
