The Weld County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 15 approved a series of memoranda of agreement to purchase right‑of‑way and temporary construction easements needed for the State Highway 392 and Weld County Road 35 intersection improvements project.

Cameron Parrott of the county Public Works Department presented multiple agreements (contract IDs 9891, 9892, 9961, 9964 and 9966) describing small permanent right‑of‑way acquisitions and temporary construction easements from several property owners. Values reported by staff ranged from $650 for small temporary easements (0.013–0.02 acres) to $58,671 for a larger acquisition that included 0.286 acres of right‑of‑way plus 0.1 acres of temporary construction easement. Another acquisition (contract 9964) listed 0.567 acres of right‑of‑way and 0.122 acres of temporary construction easement with a reported valuation of $10,530.

Commissioners moved and approved each contract by voice vote; several movers and seconders were recorded on the record (for example, Commissioner Kevin Ross moved approval of contract 9891, seconded by Commissioner Jason Maxey). The board directed staff to complete necessary deeds and recordings; each motion authorized the chair to sign necessary documents.

Parrott said staff had evaluated the parcels and recommended the acquisitions to secure the project’s right‑of‑way and temporary access for construction. Commissioner Kevin Ross noted a personal connection to one property and stated his support; no public opposition was recorded for these acquisitions.

The Public Works Department will complete closings, accept deeds of dedication where indicated and proceed with project scheduling consistent with the county’s procurement and real‑property policies.
