Weld County approves Collaborative Management MOU and Colorado Works funding amendments
Summary
The board approved a required memorandum of understanding with the Collaborative Management Program and two amendments to the Colorado Works STEP program: a $30,000 internal reallocation and a $200,000 addition of state funding with a contract extension to June 30, 2027.
Weld County commissioners on June 10 approved three interrelated human‑services items, including a required memorandum of understanding with the Collaborative Management Program (CMP) and two amendments to the Colorado Works STEP (subsidized training and employment) contract.
Jamie Olrich of the Department of Human Services asked the board to approve contract ID 10792, the county’s annual MOU with the CMP to coordinate services for children and families involved with child welfare; the board approved the MOU on motion.
A separate amendment (contract ID 10793, amendment number three) reallocates $30,000 of Colorado Works STEP funding to other eligible expenses; a county staff presenter identified in the record as "Jake" described the amendment and the board approved it.
Olrich also presented amendment number four to contract ID 10794, which adds $200,000 of state funding to the STEP program and extends the contract term through June 30, 2027; commissioners approved that amendment as well. Olrich said the additional funding will help support more individuals obtaining subsidized employment through the program.
All human‑services items were approved on motions from board members with no public comment during those agenda items. The county did not provide a detailed breakdown of how the $30,000 reallocation will be spent during the meeting, and commissioners did not request an immediate fiscal report; the $200,000 state grant amount and the extended end date were stated on the record.
Next steps: Department of Human Services staff will implement contract amendments and incorporate the additional state funds into program operations and reporting required by the contract.
