Old Business:     a.   RESOLUTION 2016-26 Approving a revised contract between the Town of Keenesburg and Engineering America, Inc.:

Debra informed the board that there was an oversight when the RFB for the water tank was issued, and our form contract was not included. Therefore Engineering America did not have the opportunity to review our contract and determine if the provisions were acceptable to them. 
We have worked together to make a few small changes that will protect the town as well as Engineering America, Inc.

The changes are as follows:

  1. In all instances, where it is stated that something needs to be completed to the satisfaction and approval of the town, we have added (Industry Standard). Without the “industry standard” it is Engineering America’s stance that this is too subjective.
  2. They have added language in section 7 to assure that the town has appropriated funds for this project. They have also added a section “differing subsurface conditions” to demonstrate that it is not currently known what will be required for the foundation of the tank. This section is to protect Engineering America for the “not to exceed amount of $ $77,571.00” in the contract if in fact they uncover a condition that requires further excavation. This could also go the other way, and save the town money if they do not need to excavate as much as the soils report states.   The board appropriated 10% overage for this project, so it is not likely that we will get into the position of having to amend the budget, but it is possible.

These changes have been reviewed by and supported by town attorney, Kathleen Kelly. It is staff recommendation that this revised contract be approved so that we can get moving on this project.

Motion was made by Trustee Gfeller, seconded by Trustee Wafel to adopt RESOLUTION 2016-26 approving a bid and authorizing execution of the construction contract with Engineering America, Inc. for the Municipal water storage tank project; motion carried 4-0. Acting Mayor Wendi Tyler, Trustees Wafel, Beach and Gfeller voting yes.

Board Member Information and discussion

Staff Reports: Administration

Debra shared that she met with the School District and Mike from Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment regarding future completion of the sewer line from Weld Central to the Town. The school does not have the funds to move forward. It was agreed that the Town would apply for a grant and a State Revolving Fund Loan as a match on behalf of the school. She shared the town may qualify for a disadvantage community resulting in a 0-1% loan and worst case scenario a 2% loan. Mike will do some research and get back with that information. The sewer rate for the school as if they were already a customer was calculated and the monthly total of about $400.00 would not be enough to cover the payment. There was a discussion on charging the school an additional fee to help cover the payment. Debra shared these details will be worked out with Kathleen. Trustee Beach asked how much the total project would be Debra stated between $800,000- $1,000,000.

Debra shared an update on the street project- most concrete work was completed and the schedule is currently about one week behind. The Water line on Owen would be replaced by the end of the week and they will move to the waterline on Kipp. Milling will occur next week and phone calls have been made to the surrounding residents to keep them informed. She noted the schedule is posted on the Towns Website and Facebook Page.

c.  RESOLUTION 2016-28 Water/Sewer Rate Increase

Debra advised calculations for the actual revenue from wastewater were completed and equated to a 5.5% increase. Which will give the town the increase in revenue to stay on target for the 20-year capital improvement plan. The calculation also contained an increase in water rates of 8% for the base and each level of usage as well. Attached was a letter that will go out to each resident to inform of the increase and establish the new sewer rate for each household for the next 12 months. Trustee Beach suggested including a sample of the breakdown in the letter, Debra recommended this not be added to avoid confusion. Motion was made by Trustee Gfeller seconded by Trustee Tyler to adopt RESOLUTION 2016-28 establishing water and sewer rates. The motion carried 6-0; Mayor Kipp, Trustees Wafel, Beach, Johns, Gfeller and Tyler voting yes.

d. Overweight Vehicles

Debra shared there were some complaints about semi-trailers driving in the area of North 1st. She contacted Mr. Tweedy and was advised that new testing regulations have been federally mandated to have two through stop signs incorporated into their testing route. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Department approved the route that includes North 1st which in turn conflicts with the Keenesburg Municipal Code Section 8-3-20 which limits the weight of vehicles that drive on the streets to 8,000 gross pounds. Debra pointed out an oversight on Ordinance 2013-01 which revised vehicle weight limits and established standards for issuing annual or single trip permits for operation of weight limit of 80,000 gross pounds. She noted this ordinance only called out Woodward, CR 59 and 398 not North 1st which would result in an amendment to the code. Mayor Kipp stated he does not want to add North 1st to the tuck route and suggested a new permit process be implemented for this street with a lower weight limit of 28,000- 30,000 gross pounds. Trustee Beach asked if there was a fee associated with the permit process, Debra shared it is an annual permit fee of $200.00 or $25.00 for a single trip per truck and noted she did not mention these fees to Mr. Tweedy. Mayor Kipp directed staff to check with the Engineer to verify the structural capacity of the road to see if it is adequate for 28,000- 30,000 gross pounds and then start a new permitting process.

  1. Open Gym Opportunity

Debra shared Hudson Council member Maria Chavez extended an open gym opportunity to Hoff Elementary in addition to the open gym held at Hudson Academy of Arts and Science. She shared approval was pending from the school district for access to the gymnasium. She noted this is a volunteer ran event. Trustee Beach expressed interest and asked that her information be passed on to Maria.

  1. Schedule Joint Workshop Session with Planning Commission

Debra shared it was time to schedule a joint workshop session with the Planning Commission to discuss future plans, the Planning Commission proposed the following dates: Monday, June 6, 2016 or Monday, June 27, 2016. The board agreed Monday, June 6, 2016 worked best. Mayor Kipp scheduled a Joint Workshop Session with the Planning Commission for Monday, June 6, 2016 at 6 p.m.

Administration/ Public Works:

Debra gave an update on the street project, there are several areas identified that need to be re done after the scope of work is completed. There was one block on Elm between Owen and Morgan that will need complete replacement due to lack of material laid down. To date Nelson, Owen, Elm, Gandy and Kipp were completed. Broadway and Miller were scheduled for completion the week of June 20th. She explained there was enough money to add additional streets which will include mill and overlay on Gandy between Main and Elm and two blocks of Main between Woodward and Crawford. As well as curb and gutter along the alley to improve drainage in front of the fire department and behind Keene Auto. Striping on Main Street is delayed due to the mill and overlay, the plan was to lay the striping tape down along Main Street once this is completed. A pan will be put in at the alley entrance between Woodward and Ash due to excessive use to truck traffic. Crack sealing and patching was scheduled for Lambert.

Bryan resigned and his last day is Friday June 24, 2016. A new employee has been hired, Sam Warne and he should start sometime the week of the 20th. He was one of the individuals who interviewed when Jake was hired and was second in line.

  1.         Presentation of the 2015 Audit

Rose E. Melville, CPA, Auditor.

Rose addressed the board and summarized the audit. She highlighted areas of the audit including the town’s net position of $7.36 million. She noted there was an increase of $1.078 million from the previous year due to donations from the waterline, fire hydrants, lift station, sewer lines and the annexation of 398. The towns combined balance of the governmental funds increased by $63,000 with a balance of $1.59 million, an increase of $47,000 in the general fund was also reported giving the account a balance of $476,000 which equated to 100.7% of total expenses in 2015. She acknowledged that the town’s position was good because if there was no revenue in 2016 the left over amount in the general fund would be able to cover expenses if they were equivalent to 2015 total expenses. Debt decreases by $94,000 based on principal payments. She noted that 21 of 67 invoices/PO’s that were reviewed were not properly signed or initialed. Debra explained that was more than likely the case because there was only one finance meeting a month and on occasion bills need to be paid without approval from the committee to avoid late fees. She noted that this was an area that needed improvement, and stated that moving forward she would be initialing all invoices when reviewing and signing checks. Rose clarified that the financials shown on the audit will differ from the financials provided at the end of year due to year-end adjustments, and the recording of public improvements. The board expressed no questions or concerns. Mayor Kipp thanked her.

Mayor Kipp stated he would like to move Item E in front of Item C to accommodate the Hoff Elementary PTO Representative.

Mayor Kipp asked the board for their thoughts on Section 7-1-40 (c) of the Keenesburg Municipal Code pertaining to the responsibility for collection and disposal of refuse and rubbish.

He read out loud the section that states containers with a capacity of one cubic yard or larger kept on private property shall only be kept upon a concrete or asphalt pad located behind any structure on the property.

Debra explained the extension of the sewer line to the school, slip-lining and repair of existing sewer lines were included in the grant application in the amount of $776,250. She noted the school was not currently compliant with their waste water system and must do so by September 30, 2018. The school approached the town about six months ago to discuss possible opinions.

Those funds have since been unfrozen and the deadline to get an application in was September 6th. The school placed a bond on the ballot for the upcoming election to include the match of this grant to get the work completed. If the bond does not get passed the town would seek a state revolving fund loan and a payback agreement would be put into place with the school. It was staff recommendation the grant application be approved to help the school district out.A motion was made Trustee Beach, seconded by Trustee Johns to approve RESOLUTION 2016-34 a grant application for sewer main to RE-3J.

  1. RESOLUTION 2016-35 in support of Weld County School District RE-3J ballot initiatives to increase funding for local education.

Lauren Madsen- RE-3J Representative 34320 CR 14 Keenesburg, Colorado 80643.

She handed out a PowerPoint presentation. RE-3J will place a mill levy override and bond measure on the ballot in November. 11 Million dollars in State funds had been cut and numerous budget cuts were made due to the failed 2014 mill levy override resulting in teacher turn over, overcrowded class, lack of arts classes, outdated materials and outdated busses. The mill levy override would help operational fund costs to retain quality teachers, replace out dated materials and textbooks, maintain existing facilities, reduce class sizes and eliminate curriculum and registration fees. The mil levy override would cost approximately $2.29 per month per $100,000 of a home’s actual value and would provide $3.3 million annual in additional funding eliminating registration fees. The bond measure would cost approximately $1.97 per month per $100,000 of a home’s actual value adding additional science labs, enhancing safety and security, updating the water treatment system and eliminating overcrowding at Lochbuie elementary school by building a new facility. Mayor Kipp asked what the mill levy would increase to, Lisa- RE3J finance director was unable to provide that figure. Trustee Tyler mentioned she reviewed the school districts financials for the last six months and asked them to explain where the majority of the expenditures have gone. Lisa explained $1.9 million of one time funds that were received last year were used to help pay off loans with Weld County for the intersection on 52 and 59, curriculum for the high school and middle school were purchased, infrastructure for internet and technology was updated and maintenance items.

  1. Telesto- Impact Fee Study

Debra explained in order to update and adjust the town’s impact fees it is necessary to complete an analysis and study to reflect a reasonable correlation between fees and the cost of the services that are provided. She was confident that the cost could be absorbed without having to amend the budget. It was noted it was imperative that the fee structure be addressed before any development takes place.

Zach Neal, Chief Financial Officer and Jim Goddard, President Expedition Water Solutions 1023 39th Avenue, Suite E, Greeley, CO 80634. Anna displayed a map of the proposed annexation location. The proposed area was designated as industrial on the Towns land use map therefore the requested heavy industrial fit well. EWS’s initial plan is to construct a Class 2 Salt Water Facility and will include two injection wells. EWS requested item 1E from exhibit A of conditions of approval be moved and listed as item 31 because a submittal of water and sewer plans can be done at the time during the building permit application. The traffic will be studied when school is back in session to allow for a more accurate count, therefore it was requested that item 1E from exhibit A also be moved and listed as number 30. Anna stated location has 1 entrance and 1 exit the trucks will unload water from a concrete receiving pad, the water will flow to tanks where it is treated in a three step process and the water is then injected into disposal wells. There will be approximately 70 trucks per day. The facility will be open 24 hours a day 7 days a week with minimum of two employees on site at all times. The location will be fenced off with four strand bard wire as requested by the planning commission. Trucks will enter and exit from I-76 onto Market Street to WCR 398. Mayor Kipp asked if the entrance and exit are the same or separate. Anna clarified there will be two separate- one location for entrance only and an additional location for exit only. Trustee Beach asked about truck traffic. Zach with EWs stated traffic will depend on oil demand and more than likely be heavier during day. Debra stated notices were mailed to all property owners within 300 feet on Dec 3 2016. The property was posted with public hearing signs on December 2, 2016 and legal publication was published in the Greeley Tribune on December 3,2016 Debra explained condition 26 showing hours of operations should not be listed as an item of approval. Todd explained the annexation would be a flag pole off the prior annexation of the Rv Park. The future land use plan lists the location as industrial and is consistent with what the applicant has requested. Referrals have been address in conditions of approval and he noted Tammerak was a great group to work with. He recommended the zoning and heavy industrial be approved. Lonnie Schneider 30425 CR 398 Keenesburg Colorado 80643. Mr. Schneider asked how hazardous material spills are handled and how quick response times were.
