Weld County certifies multiple compliance penalties, continues and dismisses several cases
Summary
During its Dec. 10 hearing, the board certified daily penalties for several long-running code‑violation cases, continued one matter tied to a possible deceased owner and dismissed another after the owner obtained permits. Fines certified ranged from $3,250 to $13,750 in individual matters.
Weld County’s Board of Commissioners certified or otherwise resolved multiple property‑compliance and code‑enforcement cases during its Dec. 10 meeting.
Assistant County Attorney Adria Shield presented a series of cases brought for certification as special assessments to the county treasurer. The board certified penalties for a Fort Lupton property found in violation since 2019 for operating a noncommercial junkyard ($10,875), and for a separate Frederick property with occupied campers and prior fires where staff recommended $10,750 in penalties because of safety concerns. A property at 565 Dunmeyer Street (Dave Sanger Sr.) was certified for $4,300 after staff reported limited progress toward compliance.
The board continued the matter regarding Jerry Dill and Lynn Kelly (3108 0 Street, Greeley) for six months to 06/10/2026 after staff reported they need more time to address possible estate and notification issues. Commissioners also continued another permitting-related matter tied to additions on a modular structure (requesting more time to secure engineering sign-offs) to June 10, 2026.
Other actions: The board certified $13,750 in outstanding fines against Omar Perez for multiple commercial vehicles and an agricultural subdivision violation, and certified $3,250 against Alejandro Recon and Perla Rodriguez for operation of commercial vehicles (no owners present). In one case (Amber Cherry, 7502 County Road 11), staff reported the owner picked up and paid for the required permit the day before the hearing; Commissioner James moved to dismiss penalties, and the board approved the dismissal.
Adria Shield and planning staff noted many of these matters have been before the board multiple times and that certification is a step to place special assessments on property tax rolls if violations are not corrected.
