Weld County commissioners on Dec. 31, 2025 approved a series of routine items and three new-business actions, including an accounting amendment that releases $4,000 in previously held homeland security grant funds, acceptance of a small warranty deed needed for a County Road 29 improvement, and a formal statement that the county will use its normal zoning process in response to changes described in CRS 30-28-213.
The board unanimously approved minutes from the Dec. 17 meeting and the consent agenda at the start of the session. Rusty Williams of the county accounting department told commissioners that “when the grant funds were awarded in 2023, there was a hold placed on $4,000, by FEMA, and that hold has now been rescinded,” freeing the money to be spent under the grant’s terms. Commissioner Jason Maxey moved to approve contract ID 10215 (the 2023 intergovernmental agreement amendment); the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Public Works staff described the second action: accepting a warranty deed from Lee and Ruby Lindblad for a small parcel needed to improve the truck turning radius and relocate utilities on County Roads 29 between State Highway 392 and County Road 74. Michael Bedell of the Public Works Department said the county’s cost for the transaction was $1,300. Commissioner Lynette Peppler moved to approve the resolution accepting the deed; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
On a separate policy-type item, a county staff member identified in the record as Bruce explained the county’s response to a state statutory change by filing a statement of compliance under CRS 30-28-213. Bruce summarized two parts of the county’s approach: adding EV charging stations as uses by right across zones and continuing to process land-use matters through the county’s normal procedures rather than adopting the state-prescribed ordinance language. Commissioner Peppler moved to approve the statement of compliance; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
No members of the public addressed the board during the public-comment period. Commissioners offered brief closing remarks and holiday wishes before the chair adjourned the final meeting of 2025.
