The Board of Lincoln County Commissioners met at 9:00 a.m. on December 8, 2008.  The following attended:  Chairman Ted Lyons, Commissioners Steve Burgess and Gary Beedy, County Administrator Roxie Devers and Deputy Clerk to the Board Vicki Ware.  County Attorney Stan Kimble was present in the afternoon, and Kay Christie with The Limon Leader and Eastern Colorado Plainsman attended from 1:15 p.m. until 3:15 p.m.

 

Chairman Lyons called the meeting to order and led the Pledge of Allegiance.  Stan Martin then met with the Board and Weed Coordinator Wayne Shade to discuss development of a noxious weed plan for two parcels of land that he owns.  Since he is an organic farmer, the U.S.D.A. approved methods of removing Canadian thistle and bindweed, which the Board is concerned about, are tilling and burning with a propane torch.  Mr. Shade told Dr. Martin that those methods would not eradicate the weeds, only set them back, and that spraying even needs to be done for several years to get it killed.  Dr. Martin said that he wants to do what is necessary and asked Mr. Shade to make an appointment with him to go out and look at the property so that he will know exactly which areas need to be taken care of.  Mr. Shade said he would call him next week.

 

Road foremen Chris Monks and Roger Noakes met with the Board.  Mr. Monks told the Board that Mr. Jaques at the landfill told him that the car that they use is no longer working.  Mr. Monks felt that they should no longer put any money into that car.  After discussing their options, the Board told Mr. Monks to give the car that had most recently been used by RSVP to the landfill to use.

 

Mr. Monks then told the Board that they need to develop a plan to upgrade their signs to meet the new federal retro reflectivity standards.  NACE, the National Association of County Engineers, has a grant program to reduce the price of sheeting material by 30-to-50%.  In order to be eligible to receive the grant, the county would need to become a NACE member at a cost of $125 per year.  A plan would then need to be developed dividing the county into grids and making a schedule to replace the signs by grids.  Replacing street signs is a lesser concern than replacing regulatory signs.  The Board directed Mr. Monks to try and get a count of how many signs would need to be replaced and then they would discuss it further.  The deadline for the grant applications is June 30, 2009.

 

Mr. Monks then told the Board that there is a new technology being used for road asphalt.  A warm mix is being used as opposed to a hot mix.  There is a conference on this procedure February 18 – 20.  The deadline to register for the conference is February 4, and Mr. Monks wanted to know if the Board wanted to send anyone.  They asked Mr. Monks to get information regarding cost and then they would decide.  The Board asked the road foremen to come back on December 19, 2008, to discuss these issues further.

 

Mr. Burgess told the Board that some counties had turned back some money on bridge funding and that it was possible that we would be able to move our bridges up on the schedule.

 

Ms. Devers gave the Board an updated plan for training and retraining of surface miners.  More training will be done in this area on Thursday, December 11.

Dave Thompson met with the Board to ask how the road districts are set up.  After he was given this information, he said that he felt that all the commissioners should be held responsible for all of the roads since they are elected at-large.

 

County Assessor Estelle Thaller and County Treasurer Jim Covington joined the meeting for the 2009 budget hearing.  Ms. Devers told the Board that she had to change the budget in order to create a Public Health Agency Fund, as required by Senate Bill 194, passed by the Colorado legislature in 2008.  She explained that she took the .50 mills from the County General Fund and moved it to the Public Health Agency Fund.  No additional money was involved, only a re-arrangement of existing money.  The 8 mills property tax credit would still be in effect.  There were no other comments on the budget.

 

Mr. Beedy made a motion to adopt a resolution to adopt the 2009 budget, as presented.  Mr. Burgess seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.

The Board discussed membership in the Heartland Expressway.  A motion was made by Mr. Beedy to contribute $250 to the Heartland Expressway Fund.  Mr. Burgess seconded the motion.  Mr. Beedy voted yes.  Mr. Burgess and Mr. Lyons voted no.

 

Ms. Devers gave the Board a County Infrastructure Survey that she received from CCI.  The Board felt that they should put the solar panels for the courthouse on the survey with a start date of June, 2009.  The survey will be sent to Senator Salazar on December 10.  Senator Salazar will be in Fort Morgan on December 15.  He wants input from the counties on their infrastructure projects.  Mr. Beedy will attend that meeting.

 

Mr. Beedy reported that all three commissioners had attended the CCI conference from December 1 through December 3.

 

Mr. Burgess reported that he had attended the COG meeting on December 3 where they had adopted their budget.

 

Mr. Lyons got a call from Chris Monks about a problem with Mike Forristall on Thursday, December 4, regarding a manure problem.  John Forristall told Mr. Lyons that he would take care of the matter with Mike Forristall.  Mr. Lyons then went to the landfill and confirmed that they did need more manure for the cell completion.

 

Ms. Devers told the Board that she had discussed supplemental appropriations to the budget with the auditor, Gary Woodward.  He told her that since the overall fund budget was not going over, she did not need to do any supplementals.  She will, however, have to do one for the Capital Projects Fund at the end of the month.

The Board decided to table acting on an appointment to the Rocky Mountain Rail Authority.

 

Mr. Burgess reported that he had contacted some people regarding service on various county boards.  Larry Nickell and John Forristall will serve on the Land Use Board and John Reid will serve on the Land Use Board of Adjustment.  LaRay Becker-Patton said she would serve on the Fair Board, if appointed.

 

Mr. Burgess discussed with the Board the possibility of locking in a price for gas and diesel fuel since prices are lower at the present time.  The Board decided to have the shop send letters to Farm Gas, Stone Oil Company, D-J Petroleum and the Flagler Co-op requesting a lock-in price for gas and #2 dyed diesel for the period of March through October, 2009.

 

Mr. Burgess told the Board that he feels that the fuel storage needs to be upgraded in both Genoa and Karval, and that they should look into getting a grant to do this.  They will discuss this further with Greg Etl of DOLA when they meet with him on December 19.

 

Mr. Beedy told the Board that Elbert County is trying to get a grant to establish road standards for eastern Elbert County, including the town of Limon.  Greg Etl of DOLA wanted to know if the Board wanted to include any portion of Lincoln County in that grant.  In a phone call, the Board asked Mr. Etl to get the cost for us to participate if we just add a strip three miles wide east from the Elbert/Lincoln County line.

 

Mr. Burgess stated that he felt that the commissioners need to look at the possibility of having an over-all supervisor for all of the road districts.

 

When the Board re-convened at 1:15 p.m. they met with representatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Susan C. Linner and Sandy Vana-Miller, to discuss prairie dogs and the issue of black-footed ferret block surveys.  Representing the Colorado Department of Wildlife were Seth McClean, Shaun Deeney and Warren Cummings.  Also in attendance were Mac McGrew from Senator Salazar’s office, Mike Threlkeld from the Colorado Department of Agriculture, Representative Cory Gardner and several concerned citizens of Lincoln County.  Ms. Linner advised those present that prairie dogs are not federally protected.  However, black-footed ferrets are, and the Wildlife Service has no data regarding whether or not there are black-footed ferrets in this area.  In order for the commissioners to be able to enforce a prairie dog control program, all of Lincoln County needs to be block-cleared for the black-footed ferret.  The area north of U.S. Highway 40/287 has already been cleared.  The area of Lincoln County that needs to be block-cleared is all of the area south of U.S. Highway 40/287.  The black-footed ferret block-clearance process has well-defined survey guidelines which are twenty years old.  Those guidelines are being looked at at the present time, but cannot be changed until late spring, at the earliest.  The ranchers and farmers in attendance expressed two main concerns.  First, the block-clearance survey process is very expensive.  Second, they felt that the Department of Wildlife needed to control the prairie dogs at the State Wildlife area.  The Department’s response to that was that the state mandate is to manage wildlife and there is no onus on the state to control wildlife.  Mr. Deeney said, however, that they would like to work with their neighbors and not against them.  Representative Cory Gardner said that he felt that state land should be held to a different standard and that they should not cause a problem for their neighbors.  Toni Crismon expressed her concern about the proper use of the poisons being used to kill the prairie dogs.  Mike Threlkeld with the Colorado Department of Agriculture assured her that there were very strict guidelines on the use of those poisons.  It was finally suggested that a decision needs to be made on what the Board wants to do and where the focus should be.  To that end, Ms. Devers set up a meeting on December 19 with Seth McClean and Shaun Deeney of the Department of Wildlife, and the Board will begin working on a plan for block-clearing Lincoln County south of U.S. Highway 40/287 for the black-footed ferret.

 

Mr. Lyons asked for the County Attorney’s report.  Mr. Kimble said that he had talked to the sheriff about the Model Traffic Code that he is working on.  He also reported that he had talked to the Prowers County Attorney regarding prairie dog control.  He felt that they would be leery of prairie dog control because they had had a problem with pigeon control.  Mr. Kimble reported that he hadn’t been able to contact any other county attorneys yet.

 

A conference call was held with the County Commissioners in Arapahoe County, Douglas County and Elbert County regarding the salary for District Attorney Carol Chambers of the 18th Judicial District for the next four years.  Ms. Chambers did not request a specific salary for her term of office.  The legislature changed the base salary for district attorneys last year and will continue to pay eighty percent of that base salary.  The counties can add to that amount if they choose to do so.  The various boards of commissioners differed on what they thought that raise should be.  It was decided that a survey would be sent to each of the four counties in the district so they could say what they thought her salary should be.  The metro-area judicial districts would be surveyed as well to find out how they are going to compensate their district attorneys.  All of the responses to the surveys will be sent to all of the four counties in the district so they will have the same information in front of them for the next conference call to be held on December 15, 2008, at 3:15 p.m.
