Loading...
Summary
The board approved a cooperative purchase of three trailer‑mounted display boards ($72,910.89), a revised MOA with the East Colorado Small Business Development Center, a $474,568 tobacco program task order (grant‑funded), radon grant acceptance and application, and accepted $795,103 in project collateral for a special review permit.
Weld County commissioners approved a slate of purchases, grant actions and planning assurances during their April 27 meeting.
Purchases and cooperative contract: Toby Taylor, purchasing, said the public works maintenance division requested three trailer‑mounted highway safety/traffic control display boards through a cooperative agreement (board contract 703-23) from LANCO for a total of $72,910.89; the board approved the purchase, which was included in the 2026 budget.
SBDC memorandum of agreement: Jennifer Offtaly, budget manager, explained a revised memorandum of agreement with the East Colorado Small Business Development Center. The MOA was originally signed on Dec. 15, 2025 with UNC as the fiduciary host; Offtaly said the fiduciary host was transitioning to the county Office of Economic Development and UNC would not sign the MOA in its prior form. The board approved the revised agreement.
Health department programs and grants: Jason Cheshire of the Health Department presented a renewal task order (contract ID 10589) for the tobacco‑use prevention and cessation program for fiscal 2027 totaling $474,568; Cheshire said the work is fully grant‑funded and requests no county dollars. The board approved the renewal. Cheshire also asked the board to accept a current‑year indoor radon purchase order (a procedural acceptance the department had missed earlier) and authorized application for FY2027 radon education and outreach grant funds of $31,089.37.
Planning collateral for special review permit: Jasmine Trio Martinez, planning services, requested the board accept project collateral of $795,103 in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit (LC009002130941), guaranteed by American AgCredit, as security for required improvements tied to special review permit USR208 for SVW Farms LLLP; the board approved contract ID 10581 to accept the collateral.
What happens next: Departments will implement the purchases and grant activities under the approved contracts and return to the board with routine reporting as required.
