M O T I O N

Commissioner Disney moved that the Board table the Windham Hill Planned Unit Development, Preliminary Plat and Rezoning (#94-MS0428) until February 13, 1995, as requested by Mr. Barnett.

Motion carried 2 - 0.

Chair Duvall stated that the following is a consent item and will not be discussed in detail unless requested by the Commissioners or members of the audience.

1. PTARMIGAN 2ND RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION (#94-0S0627): 14-06-68;

NORTH END OF TAYLOR LANE IN PTARMIGAN; RURAL NON-FARM;

(01-09-95).

This is a request to vacate a 30-foot wide right-of-way between Lots 14 and 15, Block 7, Ptarmigan 2nd. Staff Findings include: 1) Ptarmigan 2nd Filing was approved in 1993; 2) The Final Plat includes a right-of-way between Lots 14 and 15, Block 7, which was intended to provide access to the sewage lift station; 3) An alternate access to the lift station has been provided and agreed to by the South Fort Collins Sanitation District; 4) The County Health and Engineering Departments and all utilities serving this area have reviewed the proposed vacation and stated no objections; 5) The vacated right-of-way is added to each of the adjacent lots, therefore an Amended Plat of these lots is required to show the changes in the public record.

The Staff Recommendation is for approval of the request to vacate the public right-of-way between Lots 14 and 15, Block 7, Ptarmigan 2nd Filing, with the condition that an Amended Plat be submitted to demonstrate how the vacated right-of-way will be added to the adjacent lots. The vacating resolution shall not be recorded until the Amended Plat is signed by the County Commissioners.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Disney moved that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the Staff Findings and Staff Recommendation and approve the Ptarmigan 2nd Right-of-Way Vacation (#94-0S0627), with the condition as outlined.

Motion carried 2 - 0.

2. RIVERLAKES ESTATES PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (#S-79-90):

NE 1/4, SW 1/4 21-05-68; LOCATED NORTH OF STATE HIGHWAY 402,

SOUTH OF THE BIG THOMPSON RIVER AND NORTHWEST OF

PARADISE ACRES SUBDIVISION (01-09-95).

This is a request to extend the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA). Mr. Legg provided the background for this request, noting that the time limit for completion of all improvements has expired and the applicant is requesting approval of an extension of time for completion of the remaining improvements. Mr. Legg also reviewed the major concerns and issues, noting that the County Engineer Department is requesting that the required turn lanes, which are to be constructed by the developer on Highway 402, be constructed as soon as possible.

The following adjacent property owners addressed the Board and described their concerns regarding the landscaping, walking trails and drainage requirements: Henry Potter, Paul Finley, Fred Hale, Juanita Newberry-Meyer; and Ken Stolan. They also requested a status report be submitted by the developer at an earlier check-point date. Mr. Barnett recommended that an interim progress report could be required by March 31, 1995, with construction to be completed by May 31, 1995. The property owners also asked if the trees which have been planted to create a live barrier will be replaced when they die; Mr. Legg responded affirmatively. One unidentified gentleman informed the staff that an emergency access sign has been erected in the wrong place and should be at the other end of the subdivision; Mr. Legg will investigate this matter.

Chair Duvall asked Mr. Hass what the county can do if the May 31, 1995 deadline is not met; he responded that if this deadline is not met, the letter of credit due can be called and the money used to hire a contractor to complete the work. In an attempt to prevent this situation from occurring again, Chair Duvall requested staff to develop a mechanism whereby developers will be required to meet agreed upon obligations before building permits can be issued.

After further discussion, the Staff Recommendation conditions for approval of the extension of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement until May 31, 1995 were amended as follows: 1) A revised cost estimate for the balance of the improvements be approved by the County Engineer; 2) Collateral in the form of a letter of credit be provided to Larimer County no later than January 23, 1995; 3) The installation of the turning movements onto Highway 402 are to be given the highest priority by the developer and completed prior to the expiration of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement; 4) This time extension specifically includes completion of the turning movements on Highway 402, in addition to the landscaping, walking trails, drainage and all other requirements of the development; 5) An interim progress report will be required by March 31, 1995 to clarify any issues of redesign, utility relocation, right-of-way or easement or irrigation ditch agreements.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Disney moved that the Board adopt the Staff Recommendation, with conditions as amended, and approve the Riverlakes Estates Planned Unit Development (#S-79-90) extension of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement until May 31, 1995.

Motion carried 2 - 0.

3. SPRINGFIELD COURT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (#93-MS0285):

NE 1/4, 33-07-69; WEST SIDE OF TAFT HILL ROAD (COUNTY ROAD 19,

1/4 MILE SOUTH OF HORSETOOTH ROAD (COUNTY ROAD 40) (01-09-95)

This is a request for a waiver of the full park fees for each unit of the Springfield Court Affordable Housing Project. Ms. Bennett noted that in January 1994, the county granted a waiver of the County's portion of the park fees for this affordable housing project; i.e., the regional park fee; and deferred to the City of Fort Collins for waiver of the community and neighborhood park fees. Mr. Zier, attorney for the applicant, stated that the developers approached the City about these waivers; however, the City has decided to take no action at this time with regard to projects in the Urban Growth Area. Therefore, the developers are now requesting the Board to give further consideration to the request for a full waiver of all park fees. If the Board approves the full waiver, Mr. Zier requested that the Board send a letter to the City of Fort Collins indicating their approval of the full waiver of park fees. Mr. Furness stated that the Parks Department endorses the waiver of the regional park fees as a community service; however, they do recommend the collection of the community park fees ($312 per unit) to help fund the Community Park planned in the area.


M O T I O N

Commissioner Disney moved that the Board approve the full waiver of park fees for the Springfield Court Affordable Housing Project, as requested, and direct staff to write a letter to the City of Fort Collins indicating the Board's support of this project and indicating their desire for the City to consider extending their policy regarding the waiving of fees to include the Urban Growth Area.

Motion carried 2 - 0.

The meeting recessed at 9:55 a.m.

MEETING REGARDING PRIORITIES FOR PARKS PROJECTS

(#182 @ 2500 & #183)

The Board of County Commissioners reconvened at 1:30 p.m. in regular session with John MacFarlane, Director of Parks. Chair Duvall presided and Commissioner Disney was present. Also present were John Clarke, Commissioner Elect; Rex Smith, Public Works Director; K-Lynn Cameron, Parks Planner; Neil Gluckman, Assistant County Manager; and Frank Lancaster, County Manager. Recording Clerk, S. Graves.

Chair Duvall stated that the purpose of today's meeting is to discuss the funding dilemma in the Park's Department and to convey to Mr. MacFarlane the Board's sentiment before he meets with the Parks Board later this week. Mr. MacFarlane presented a list of the action items which will be presented at the Parks Board Meeting; these action items represent the suggestions and recommendations derived from the December 14, 1994 meeting with the Parks Board. Mr. MacFarlane noted that the Parks Board will vote to approve or disapprove these items and then Mr. MacFarlane will return to the Board with the voting results and recommendations in approximately two weeks for a final decision.

Much discussion ensued regarding the philosophical thinking of the Board regarding the role and function of the Parks Department in the future. There was discussion of the possibility for the transfer of several reservoirs to be managed by the State; Commissioner Disney noted for the record that, "If the transfer occurs, it will be in the best interest of the people in the county". Mr. Clarke recommended the issuance of a press release outlining all the advantages of the transfer for the people of Larimer County. Prior commitments for improvements which the Board has made, such as for Lions Park, were discussed and the Board concurred that those commitments will be honored. There was discussion of the improvements being made to the four reservoirs which might be transferred to the State; if these transfers take place, the Board feels they should be reimbursed for these improvements.



In summary of the discussion today, Chair Duvall stated that: 1) The Board is still committed to parks and open space; 2) The Board wants to be reimbursed for facility improvements; and 3) The Board intends to honor previous commitments. Chair Duvall informed Mr. MacFarlane and Ms. Cameron that the Board supports them in what they are trying to do, and the Board will stay in touch with them with regard to priorities for the Parks Department

Discussion followed regarding the possibility in the future for separation of the fair and the fairgrounds and its management..

The meeting adjourned at 2:30 p.m.

5. APPRECIATION EXPRESSED TO COMMISSIONER DUVALL:

The meeting recessed at 10:40 a.m.

PERSONNEL STANDING MEETING

(#183 @ 1200)

The Board of County Commissioners reconvened at 2:00 p.m. in regular session with Ralph Jacobs, Director of Personnel. Chair Disney presided; Commissioners Clarke and Duvall were present. Also present were: Brice Miller, Building Official; Gayle Morgan, Planning Staff Services Manager; Neil Gluckman, Assistant County Manager, and Frank Lancaster, County Manager. Recording Clerk, S. Graves.

1. HIRING OF MENTAL HEALTH CENTER PSYCHIATRIST: Mr. Jacobs requested authorization from the Board to grant an exception to policy for the Mental Health Center to recruit and hire a specific person as a part-time Psychiatrist for the Mental Health Center. Mr. Jacobs described the reason for expediency in that the person they wish to hire has had other offers of employment and if the normal hiring procedure is followed, the county will probably lose the opportunity to hire a very qualified person for this position. Also, if this person is hired soon, it will allow her time to become trained before Dr. Preble retires in March of this year and will insure continuity of service. Mr. Jacobs noted that he thinks this exception is an instance where it would be beneficial to both the county and the Mental Health Center to grant this exception to policy.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Duvall moved that the Board approve the request to allow an exception to policy for the Mental Health Center to recruit and hire a specific person as a part-time Psychiatrist for the Mental Health Center.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

2. FILLING THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT POSITIONS: Mr. Jacobs stated that the Planning Department has requested the Board to grant an exception to the Larimer County Personnel Policy which requires the posting of and competitive application for vacant positions. Mr. Jacobs reminded the Board that last year the Planning Department was authorized to hire three temporary employees to assist them through a difficult workload period; however, the workload has not diminished and they are now requesting this exception to policy to convert these temporary positions to full-time regular positions. Ms. Morgan noted it was difficult to obtain qualified applicants when they advertised for these positions last year and it will save time and energy to hire these three employees to insure continuity of the work flow.

The definition of temporary positions was discussed and the Board directed Mr. Jacobs to research the definition of "temporary employee"; Commissioner Disney recommended that when this definition is determined, the other elected officials and Cabinet should be consulted and collectively decide if the meaning of "temporary employee" should be redefined.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Clarke moved that the Board approve the request from the Planning Department to grant an exception to policy to allow them to convert their three temporary positions to full-time regular positions.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

3. UPDATE ON RECRUITING OF ASSISTANT RISK MANAGER AND CONTROLLER POSITIONS: Mr. Jacobs reported that Cheryl L. Anderson-Siler has been hired as the Assistant Risk Manager and will begin work tomorrow, January 11, 1995. Commissioner Disney reminded everyone that this position was created to focus on prevention, not just to assist in the processing of claims; he requested a meeting be scheduled with Ms. Anderson-Siler to set goals and outline the Board's desires for the position. Mr. Jacobs recommended that Mr. Burch also attend this meeting where the focus of the job will be described.

Mr. Jacobs provided an update on the hiring of a Controller. As two of the selection committee will be leaving employment with the County, Commissioner Duvall suggested that the Board meet with the committee to discuss what qualifications the Board is looking for in a Controller--if they want someone with management skills or someone with a technical background. After discussion, the Board directed Mr. Lancaster to schedule a meeting with the Board and the interview committee to revisit the Controller's position and to discuss the required qualifications for the position.

4. UPDATE ON FEDERAL DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING REQUIREMENTS: Mr. Jacobs updated the Board on the progress being made with regard to the County being in compliance with the Federal Department of Transportation Drug and Alcohol testing requirements for employees who are required to possess a Commercial Drivers License in order to perform the duties of their position. Mr. Jacobs noted that the regulations are complicated, lengthy and costly and he is in the process of writing a stringent policy and procedures for the testing. There are approximately 100 county employees affected by these requirements in the departments of Road and Bridge, Fleet Management, Sheriff, Natural Resources, and Fair--employees who drive large heavy equipment, vehicles carrying hazardous materials, busses, etc. Mr. Jacobs stated he may need to come to the Board later to authorize the expenditure of a FAX machine for receiving the drug and alcohol test results, but the biggest expense will be the cost of testing; he anticipates having cost figures for the Board at the next standing meeting.

Commissioner Clarke asked Mr. Jacobs if the county has a program for identifying and dealing with alcoholics as, according to the national statistics, there are probably 110 of them working for the county. Mr. Jacobs responded that the county does not have a plan for identifying or dealing with alcoholics as a class of individuals; however, when there is a problem with an employee who is presenting concrete performance problems, the problem is addressed. Commissioner Clarke asked if the county could do drug testing on all new hires; he would like to have the county, within the law, try and deal with this problem because it is costing a tremendous amount of money. It was noted that Anheuser Busch has a good drug and alcohol program and Mr. Jacobs will find out about it and return to the Board with the information; Chair Disney suggested that the Mental Health Center might also help with this problem. Commissioner Duvall emphasized that she wants the program designed to help people, not just to catch them.

5. OTHER: Mr. Jacobs updated the Board on the hiring of the Human Development Director, noting that the group which will be screening the applicants will be meeting this Thursday, January 12, 1995. Before the selection committee meets, Commissioner Duvall wants to convey to the committee what qualifications the Board wants in the Human Development Director; Mr. Jacobs will provide the Board with the job description for this position and the Board will discuss it further tomorrow during Administrative Matters.

The meeting adjourned at 3:00 p.m.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1995

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS

(#188 @ 125)

The Board of County Commissioners met at 9:30 a.m. in regular session with Frank Lancaster, County Manager. Chair Disney presided; Commissioners Clarke and Duvall were present. Also present were: Ralph Jacobs, Director of Personnel; Donna Hart, Assistant to the County Manager; and Neil Gluckman, Assistant County Manager. Recording Clerk, S. Graves.

1. DISCUSSION OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR POSITION: Mr. Jacobs submitted to the Board the job description for the Director of Human Development, noting that 46 applications have been received and he anticipates that interviews will be completed in two weeks. As requested yesterday, the Board wanted to review the job description and have Mr. Jacobs inform the selection committee what questions should be asked of the applicants during the interview and where the emphasis should be in the final selection. Commissioner Duvall expressed disagreement with the first-place emphasis on the list of duties being to "Administer all grants channeled through the Department"; she thinks "providing leadership in fostering County-wide collaboration and coordination among public and private sector interests to more effectively and efficiently meet human service needs" should be the main emphasis considered when selecting the new Director. The new Director should be someone who can collaborate and work in coordination with the community to mobilize resources to serve human needs, not administer grants to keep the department running. Chair Disney stated that the new Director should also have some experience in conflict resolution. Commissioner Duvall also noted that we need to select someone who will tell us what the needs are in the community, and then develop a plan to meet those needs. Commissioner Duvall further stated that in the past, this department has vacillated between being a direct provider of services and being a coordinator of services and it does not make sense to her that this department should duplicate what private/non-profit agencies can do; she would rather see the department in a coordination position rather than as a provider of services. Mr. Gluckman stated that this needs to be addressed, because the impression in the community is that the county fills in the gaps; it needs to be determined if the county fills the gaps or does the county identify other resources thru private non/profit agencies to fill the gaps.

Mr. Jacobs noted it would be beneficial if he was appointed to serve on the selection committee to make sure the right questions are asked of the applicants and that the Board's intentions for this position are met; the Board concurred and appointed Ralph to the committee for the selection of the Human Development Director. Chair Disney also suggested that Commissioner Duvall be part of the interview panel and participate in the final selection for this position.

2. DISCUSSION OF REQUEST FOR SUPPORT FOR A COMMUNITY PUBLIC RADIO STATION: The Board received a letter requesting them to pass a resolution in support of awarding or selling the 70,000 watt broadcasting permit from KCSU (which is converting from a community-based station to a student-run station and does not need the additional 70,000 watts) to the newly formed Public Radio for the Front Range, which will carry on the community radio programming which KCSU has been providing for the past several years. The request is for Larimer County to send a copy of the resolution to CSU and the State Board of Agriculture to encourage them to award the permit; after discussion, the Board decided to decline this request and directed Mr. Lancaster to send a letter of response and wish them good luck.

3. ADOPTION OF COMMISSIONERS' GOALS AND WORK PLAN FOR 1995: Mr. Lancaster presented the Commissioners' Goals and Work Plan for 1995, which encompasses Organization/Personnel Issues; Capital Expenditures Plan; Improved Public Communication; Growth Management; Transportation; Strategic Planning; etc. It was noted that these topics are not listed in any order of priority.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Duvall moved that the Board adopt the Commissioners' Goals and Work Plan for 1995, as presented.

Motion carried 3 - 0.







4. APPOINTMENT OF AN UNEXPIRED TERM TO THE COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS BOARD:

M O T I O N

Commissioner Clarke moved that the Board approve the appointment of Mr. Peter Stein to the Community Corrections Board to fill the unexpired term of Judge John Price, term ending June 30, 1996, as recommended by the Community Corrections Board and Paul Cooper, Community Corrections Director.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

5. APPOINTMENT TO THE LARIMER EMERGENCY TELEPHONE AUTHORITY (LETA) BOARD: Mr. Lancaster explained that Ms. Brenda Jones was appointed to fill a vacated position and at the time when the appointment was made, the Board also appointed her to an additional two-year term. According to the Bylaws, this additional appointment conflicted with the staggered terms on this Board; therefore, the request today is for the Board to make a reappointment of Ms. Jones with an expiration date of December 31, 1996.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Duvall moved that the Board of County Commissioners reappoint Brenda Jones to the LETA Board, term to expire December 31, 1996.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

6. WORKSESSION:

-- Request to Delay Appointments to the Community Action Board and Office on Aging: Mr. Lancaster noted that Diane Martell, Interim Human Development Director, recommended that the appointments to the Community Action Board and Office on Aging be delayed until the new Human Development Director is hired; CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD was to concur with Ms. Martell's recommendation.

-- Commissioner to Speak at Next Weeks Department Head Meeting: Mr. Lancaster asked if Chair Disney or Commissioner Duvall would like to discuss the Commissioners' 1995 Goals at the next Department Head Meeting; Commissioner Duvall indicated she will do this. Commissioner Clarke was not asked because he will be in Denver next week for new Commissioner training.

-- Colorado Natural Hazard Mitigation Commission: Mr. Lancaster updated the Board on the Colorado Natural Hazard Mitigation Commission; he noted they would like to have a representative from Larimer County on their Commission and they meet twice a year. Chair Disney indicated he will serve on this Commission.

-- Schedule for Standing Meetings: Mr. Lancaster informed the Board that a memo regarding the Commissioner's Office receiving schedules and agendas in advance of meetings has been mailed to all department heads, but did not allow enough time to receive the agendas for next weeks meetings. He asked the Board if there is anything they would like included on the agendas for the Social Services and Public Works Meetings scheduled for next week. Chair Disney stated he has one item he would like to discuss in Executive Session with Mr. Keasling. Commissioner Duvall would like an update on the transportation plan from Mr. Smith, and Commissioner Clarke would like to visit about the efforts being made for relocation of the Burlington Northern Railroad.

Discussion followed regarding the format to be used for the schedule and agenda for meetings; Commissioner Clarke suggested assigning a time slot for each item on the agenda in order to keep the meeting moving. With regard to the standing meetings, there is no consistency in the scheduling, as the Board meets with some department heads every other week, some quarterly, and some never; Mr. Lancaster suggested discussing this at the department head meeting. Chair Disney would also like to have a note included after each item on the agenda indicating whether it is a discussion item only or if it requires action. He would also like to see a standard format for each meetings agenda.

-- Items for Policy Worksession: Currently, Mr. Lancaster has no items for discussion at the next Policy Worksession; however, at some time in the future he would like to have a discussion with the Board regarding public information. At that time, he will be asking the Board what specific objectives they have with regard to public information and what is the message the Board wants to get out, etc. Mr. Lancaster will send the Board a list of questions he want to discuss at this meeting and will also ask for feedback from the press regarding what the Board can do to make their job easier.

Because the full Board will not be present for Policy Worksession the next two weeks, the next Policy Worksession will be scheduled on January 26, 1995

-- Board Invitations: Ms. Hart reviewed the pending invitations with the Board.

7. COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS - ADMINISTRATIVE:

-- Commissioner Duvall reported that she and Commissioner Clarke attended an interesting meeting last week with Fort Collins Mayor Ann Azari and other community and agricultural leaders in Larimer and Weld Counties to discuss Urban/Agricultural Issues and she thinks another first step was taken toward working together to keep the agricultural economy alive and well in Larimer County.

-- Chair Disney provided a brief update on the Environmental Health Director's position; three people were interviewed last week and two more will be interviewed very soon and a decision will be made shortly thereafter.
