I remember 4 consider contract ID 8543 intergovernmental agreement to provide electrical and plumbing inspections and authorized 00:13:56
shared assigned town of new Raymond running Elizabeth My commissioners Elizabeth Rolford planning department here today to ask you 00:14:04
for your approval to enter into an agreement with the town of Raymer on performing their electrical and plumbing inspections as 00:14:11
well as permitting the board previous boards that from 1983. 00:14:18
Have we've had this agreement in place with them for electrical inspections that did not include permits or plumbing. And So what 00:14:26
we're asking is that we even amended the agreement back in like 1997 so that it could automatically renew. They do not have 00:14:33
obviously a building department, they don't have have adopted building codes. So they are essentially asking the county to help 00:14:39
perform those services for their towns, so. 00:14:45
This agreement would allow us to be able to do that. They could get a permit through us for plumbing and electrical. 00:14:53
They would follow the state code, so we would inspect to those standards. And I just want to tell you that this agreement couldn't 00:14:58
have happened so quickly without the help of Bruce Barker who literally helped write it overnight. And so this is something where 00:15:05
the town had reached out to us. I appreciate Mayor Long for working with Bruce on trying to do this. The board did approve it on 00:15:12
Monday. So this is a fast turn around to help keep their fire station moving forward. 00:15:19

And #5 consider annexation agreement and petition for annexation numbers one and two for portions of county roads 18 and 59 and 00:15:49
authorized chair to sign town of Kingsburg. 00:15:54
Elizabeth Rutherford, Planning Department Commissioners, I'm really happy to be able to present this petition for annexation and 00:16:01
annexation agreement for your support on the annexation of portions of County Road 18 and County Road 59 in Kingsburg. The 00:16:08
agreement that we originally had with the town was back from October 18th of 2021 does pertain to the road and intersection 00:16:15
improvements at 18 and Kenner 59 or 18th and market is a lot of times. 00:16:22
Kingsburg refers to it. This was a partnership that we had with Waste Management to make improvements to that intersection. And as 00:16:30
part of the agreement, one of the conditions was that the town of Kingsburg would then come back and annex those portions of the 00:16:35
road that are not currently in their jurisdiction. So this now is that next step for that process that the county can petition on 00:16:41
their behalf. 00:16:46
Them to move forward with that annexation and so we would just ask for your support to complete this agreement. Excellent. Any 00:16:53

758-1150 OH St. Greeley Co 806 Three two. Does anybody wish to address the board today? Come on up, Sir. 00:19:06
You know. 00:19:18
Good morning, Commissioners. For the record, my name is Steve Keats and Greeley. First of all, I would like to know if the board 00:19:30
members and I got one from Commissioner James and Commissioner Ross. But yes, the surveys, I would appreciate if you filled them 00:19:38
out, get them out to the meeting. 00:19:46
2nd. 00:19:55
I would like to tell you tomorrow's my birthday, my 71st birthday. Thank you and getting old. I need 12 people to take my place 00:19:59
here. 00:20:05
Also too. 00:20:12
But people need to be housed with no barriers. 00:20:16
I have surveys here which the party mentioned last. 00:20:22
Last time I was here over 500 and it would be very interesting and I know I'm in the dream world here, but all of you would read 00:20:27
it. 00:20:32
Because it is becoming more and more of a problem, and it causes not just more problems, but we say we're the richest nation on 00:20:37
this planet, but why don't we have so many homeless people? But I would like you to read these if you so choose. 00:20:46
So you would get none of the picture of the surgeons of this woman's problem. These these really tell also because of our growth 00:20:57
here. 00:21:02
We need a good regional system. 00:21:08
In the northern area like. 00:21:11
Attached to Land Run and Weld County and even Adams County, the northern part. 00:21:14
We need a good regional system because of the growth and if we don't get a good, good foundation regional system, we're going to 00:21:21
be playing, playing catch up if we ever could. 00:21:27
People need to get around for a lot of reasons, medical work, whatever, and it and it draws people to the area too. 00:21:34
In many ways, if it's events, meetings, moving here or have a business here or whatever. 00:21:44
We just need to think of transportation and how important it is. 00:21:53
And also to along with that, I think we need an RTA or RTD up here that which would eventually help to get things together as well 00:22:00
because transit transportation is of the future. And we need a good system, regional and eventually I hear even a rail system up 00:22:09
here which that probably not be for another 100 years. But I'm just saying is that we need to be serious about it. Thank you. 00:22:18
Thank you, Mr. 00:22:28
Somebody else switch to make public comment today. 00:22:31
Come on up, Sir. 00:22:35
I have intended to say a thing, but since the topic came up I just might add in my paradigms I. 00:22:43
$0.20 Anyway, my name is Evelyn Grant really and we just talked about buses and all kinds of stuff here. He mentioned some some 00:22:50
interesting things I follow up with on television the other night. His name was Steven Balmer and he was the chief executive 00:22:56
officer of Microsoft under Bill Gates. William Gates, the multi billionaire. Anyway, he was exploiting the federal budget which 00:23:03
was very, very interesting. 00:23:09
We have a six trillion, $160 billion budget. 00:23:17
And 86% of that was for a mandatory spending like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and all right, and other things. 14% of that 00:23:21
was for what they called discretionary spending, which was defense, offense and a whole bunch of other things. Anyway, they had 00:23:28
the 2.2 trimming was for income taxes, 1.6 trillion was for payroll taxes. I, I might have, I might comment that if you'd like to 00:23:34
watch this thing, it was very, very interesting. 00:23:41
He did comment that the top 10% wealthiest people in the United States. 00:23:49
A 76% of our taxes, the bottom 50% paid 2 1/2 percent. So that that ought to tell us something. We just mentioned the homeless 00:23:54
problem really went in. I went to the City Council a week ago, not a Tuesday anyway, they spent $9 million, just food. And then 00:24:02
we've also got $50 million going to the homeless problem. It costs, it cost a half, $1,000,000 just to buy one new city bus. 00:24:10
They want 10 more. This is this is a problem that's going on all over the country, from East Coast to West Coast, Everything. 00:24:19
Everybody has a new idea what we need to buy. Some people want to build a recycling Center for aluminum, plastic and 10. I'm not 00:24:26
against that. Other people want to colonize Mars. Guess what, there's water on Mars, they tell me. 00:24:32
How interesting. I don't think it's going to help me much. I'm at 28th Ave. Roosevelt Rd. They spent the last several months 00:24:39
putting the pipe in there. Aren't I lucky? I know where those special taxing districts that I get to help provide water for the 00:24:46
yard at UMC Bears and Orange College Artworks and some sewer service for W Evans. 00:24:53
Thanks. I'll take you, Sir. 00:25:00
Does anybody else wish to make public comment today? 00:25:03
All right, it's 925. We stand adjourned. 00:25:07

I remember 4 consider contract ID 8543 intergovernmental agreement to provide electrical and plumbing inspections and authorized 00:13:56
shared assigned town of new Raymond running Elizabeth My commissioners Elizabeth Rolford planning department here today to ask you 00:14:04
for your approval to enter into an agreement with the town of Raymer on performing their electrical and plumbing inspections as 00:14:11
well as permitting the board previous boards that from 1983. 00:14:18
Have we've had this agreement in place with them for electrical inspections that did not include permits or plumbing. And So what 00:14:26
we're asking is that we even amended the agreement back in like 1997 so that it could automatically renew. They do not have 00:14:33
obviously a building department, they don't have have adopted building codes. So they are essentially asking the county to help 00:14:39
perform those services for their towns, so. 00:14:45
This agreement would allow us to be able to do that. They could get a permit through us for plumbing and electrical. 00:14:53
They would follow the state code, so we would inspect to those standards. And I just want to tell you that this agreement couldn't 00:14:58
have happened so quickly without the help of Bruce Barker who literally helped write it overnight. And so this is something where 00:15:05
the town had reached out to us. I appreciate Mayor Long for working with Bruce on trying to do this. The board did approve it on 00:15:12
Monday. So this is a fast turn around to help keep their fire station moving forward. 00:15:19

Elizabeth Rutherford, Planning Department Commissioners, I'm really happy to be able to present this petition for annexation and 00:16:01
annexation agreement for your support on the annexation of portions of County Road 18 and County Road 59 in Kingsburg. The 00:16:08
agreement that we originally had with the town was back from October 18th of 2021 does pertain to the road and intersection 00:16:15
improvements at 18 and Kenner 59 or 18th and market is a lot of times. 00:16:22
Kingsburg refers to it. This was a partnership that we had with Waste Management to make improvements to that intersection. And as 00:16:30
part of the agreement, one of the conditions was that the town of Kingsburg would then come back and annex those portions of the 00:16:35
road that are not currently in their jurisdiction. So this now is that next step for that process that the county can petition on 00:16:41
their behalf. 00:16:46
Them to move forward with that annexation and so we would just ask for your support to complete this agreement. Excellent. Any 00:16:53

758-1150 OH St. Greeley Co 806 Three two. Does anybody wish to address the board today? Come on up, Sir. 00:19:06
You know. 00:19:18
Good morning, Commissioners. For the record, my name is Steve Keats and Greeley. First of all, I would like to know if the board 00:19:30
members and I got one from Commissioner James and Commissioner Ross. But yes, the surveys, I would appreciate if you filled them 00:19:38
out, get them out to the meeting. 00:19:46
2nd. 00:19:55
I would like to tell you tomorrow's my birthday, my 71st birthday. Thank you and getting old. I need 12 people to take my place 00:19:59
here. 00:20:05
Also too. 00:20:12
But people need to be housed with no barriers. 00:20:16
I have surveys here which the party mentioned last. 00:20:22
Last time I was here over 500 and it would be very interesting and I know I'm in the dream world here, but all of you would read 00:20:27
it. 00:20:32
Because it is becoming more and more of a problem, and it causes not just more problems, but we say we're the richest nation on 00:20:37
this planet, but why don't we have so many homeless people? But I would like you to read these if you so choose. 00:20:46
So you would get none of the picture of the surgeons of this woman's problem. These these really tell also because of our growth 00:20:57
here. 00:21:02
We need a good regional system. 00:21:08
In the northern area like. 00:21:11
Attached to Land Run and Weld County and even Adams County, the northern part. 00:21:14
We need a good regional system because of the growth and if we don't get a good, good foundation regional system, we're going to 00:21:21
be playing, playing catch up if we ever could. 00:21:27
People need to get around for a lot of reasons, medical work, whatever, and it and it draws people to the area too. 00:21:34
In many ways, if it's events, meetings, moving here or have a business here or whatever. 00:21:44
We just need to think of transportation and how important it is. 00:21:53
And also to along with that, I think we need an RTA or RTD up here that which would eventually help to get things together as well 00:22:00
because transit transportation is of the future. And we need a good system, regional and eventually I hear even a rail system up 00:22:09
here which that probably not be for another 100 years. But I'm just saying is that we need to be serious about it. Thank you. 00:22:18
Thank you, Mr. 00:22:28
Somebody else switch to make public comment today. 00:22:31
Come on up, Sir. 00:22:35
I have intended to say a thing, but since the topic came up I just might add in my paradigms I. 00:22:43
$0.20 Anyway, my name is Evelyn Grant really and we just talked about buses and all kinds of stuff here. He mentioned some some 00:22:50
interesting things I follow up with on television the other night. His name was Steven Balmer and he was the chief executive 00:22:56
officer of Microsoft under Bill Gates. William Gates, the multi billionaire. Anyway, he was exploiting the federal budget which 00:23:03
was very, very interesting. 00:23:09
We have a six trillion, $160 billion budget. 00:23:17
And 86% of that was for a mandatory spending like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and all right, and other things. 14% of that 00:23:21
was for what they called discretionary spending, which was defense, offense and a whole bunch of other things. Anyway, they had 00:23:28
the 2.2 trimming was for income taxes, 1.6 trillion was for payroll taxes. I, I might have, I might comment that if you'd like to 00:23:34
watch this thing, it was very, very interesting. 00:23:41
He did comment that the top 10% wealthiest people in the United States. 00:23:49
A 76% of our taxes, the bottom 50% paid 2 1/2 percent. So that that ought to tell us something. We just mentioned the homeless 00:23:54
problem really went in. I went to the City Council a week ago, not a Tuesday anyway, they spent $9 million, just food. And then 00:24:02
we've also got $50 million going to the homeless problem. It costs, it cost a half, $1,000,000 just to buy one new city bus. 00:24:10
They want 10 more. This is this is a problem that's going on all over the country, from East Coast to West Coast, Everything. 00:24:19
Everybody has a new idea what we need to buy. Some people want to build a recycling Center for aluminum, plastic and 10. I'm not 00:24:26
against that. Other people want to colonize Mars. Guess what, there's water on Mars, they tell me. 00:24:32
How interesting. I don't think it's going to help me much. I'm at 28th Ave. Roosevelt Rd. They spent the last several months 00:24:39
putting the pipe in there. Aren't I lucky? I know where those special taxing districts that I get to help provide water for the 00:24:46
yard at UMC Bears and Orange College Artworks and some sewer service for W Evans. 00:24:53
Thanks. I'll take you, Sir. 00:25:00
Does anybody else wish to make public comment today? 00:25:03
All right, it's 925. We stand adjourned. 00:25:07
