The Weld County Board of Commissioners approved a five‑year memorandum of understanding for the 19th Judicial District specialty court programs that manage rules and responsibilities for driving-under-the-influence offenders.

Doug Ehrler of the Justice Services Department presented the MOU and said the document outlines roles for participating agencies, including the department’s work-release program and the district attorney’s office. Ehrler said the MOU was prepared by the court’s DUI specialty-court program and that there is no cost to the county for the agreement. He said the MOU had been presented previously as a pass-around and was scheduled for final review on Aug. 11.

Commissioner Jason Maxey moved to approve the MOU; Commissioner Lynette Peppler seconded and the board approved it by voice vote. Ehrler said the County and the 19th Judicial District would sign the document and coordinate implementation.

Staff did not report any new funding obligations related to the MOU at the meeting.
