Board approves health and air-quality agreements, petroleum remediation reimbursement and federal mineral-lease allocations
Summary
Weld County approved April 21 a set of health and environmental agreements: a Medicaid-billing continuation with Northeast Health Partners, an amendment to the county’s air-quality task order with the state, a $11,485 petroleum-remediation reimbursement request, and IGAs allocating federal mineral-lease funds to county programs.
Weld County commissioners on April 21 approved a package of health- and environment-related contracts and funding actions.
Jason Cheshire of the Weld County Health Department presented Contract ID 9362, a continuation agreement with Northeast Health Partners LLC that allows the county to bill Medicaid for safety-net preventive services; the board approved the continuation. Cheshire said the contract maintains the current GRAMA (?) levels in the record (the transcript references maintenance of current levels; specific dollar amounts were not provided in the meeting discussion.).
The board approved Amendment No. 3 to a task-order contract for the county’s air quality program with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (Contract ID 9365). The health/public-works presenter described the renewal as a routine continuation of a multi-decade arrangement that authorizes county staff to perform inspections, permitting and air-quality functions on behalf of the state.
Rusty Williams of the accounting department presented Contract ID 9357, authorizing Palmetto Environmental Group LLC to request supplemental reimbursement from the state for petroleum storage tank remediation work at the county fueling facility (1113 H Street). The amount identified was $11,485; the board approved the request.
Separately, the board approved intergovernmental agreements allocating Federal Mineral Lease Act funds to Weld County programs, including payment for the public works haul-out program (HRP/LVR programs) and the health department water-testing program; those IGAs came from the district federal mineral lease board and were approved by the commissioners.
Each item was moved and seconded on the record and approved by voice vote. The meeting record did not specify additional budgetary appropriations beyond the reimbursement amount for the petroleum cleanup, nor did it list dollar totals for the Northeast Health Partners continuation or the air-quality task order amendment in the discussion.
