[0:30] I'm going to call the meeting to order. Can we have a roll call, please?

[0:47] I'm going to order to desco. Here?

[0:50] Mr. Henry, here. Mr. Hanson?

[0:53] Stand for the blood of legions?

[0:57] To the black, of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which stands, one nation under the law.

[1:12] Can we have anyone find us with public comment?

[1:22] No, we do not. I'm going to have a roll call. I'm going to go back.

[1:30] I'm going to go back. Do I have a motion to approve the agenda?

[1:35] Second.

[1:37] Mr. Hanson?

[1:39] Mr. Henry?

[1:40] Yes.

[1:41] Mr. Tedesco?

[1:42] Aye.

[1:43] Now, we can have public comment. I believe we have one person that was not signed up.

[1:48] And we'll bring him up. If you could state your name and address for the record.

[1:53] Yes, go on. My name is Kelly Dunaway. My address is 2211.M Street in Denver.

[1:58] I'm about a year ago, you fired my wife, Jim Lashdog, County Attorney.

[2:03] You didn't give her a reason?

[2:05] You sent her an email. It's one of the things I want to talk about today.

[2:08] Last Friday, we were a judge of folks' retirement gathering.

[2:12] That was a lot of good people there.

[2:14] Former Chief Justice Fender gave a keynote speak.

[2:17] You're sure if you're DA. It was a wonderful event, actually.

[2:21] When we got out of the car, my wife broke down and saw it.

[2:25] This was a family that he ripped her away from.

[2:28] But what really got to her was a number of people.

[2:32] Good Adams County employees who were also her family.

[2:36] That answer, what the hell happened?

[2:38] And she is disturbed to no.

[2:43] That so many people don't have any idea and would logically assume that she did something wrong

[2:50] that led to her termination.

[2:52] That's what I want to talk about.

[2:54] I'm going to tell you what I know.

[2:56] I'm going to ask if you've got to reply.

[2:58] What I know is that Marty Flam funnels a lot of money.

[3:02] I represent a lot of interest in the county to get the right people in office.

[3:08] What I know is that even after the campaigns are done,

[3:12] he continues to get little envelopes to cash to elected officials.

[3:17] I know specifically of one who accepted that cash

[3:20] and after a night contemplating its implications,

[3:23] returned it and good for him.

[3:25] I know that the same Marty Flam raised a money that put you in office.

[3:30] And I know that while he was raising the money and raised having his fundraising dinners,

[3:35] my wife was relentlessly trying to clean up Adams County

[3:39] and was instrumental in the prosecution of many of the key figures in the quality-paving scandal.

[3:46] I know that the same Marty Flam called and made threatening phone calls to the county,

[3:51] demanding among other things that the county back off of Leace.

[3:56] I know that my wife did not back off of Leace and that he was criminally prosecuted.

[4:02] And I know that before you even took off this, she was warned that you were coming to get rid of her.

[4:08] Now, I'm no rocket science scientist, but I'm pretty good with math and what those numbers add up,

[4:14] especially given the lack of any reason ever given to her or any discussion with her about anything she might be failing.

[4:20] What that says is this was not about any failure on her part,

[4:24] but was a cowardly act of political reprisal.

[4:27] And I'd like to ask, if you can fill in that blank and prove me that I'm wrong,

[4:30] because I would like to believe in Adam's County Government again.

[4:33] Have you got anything?

[4:36] Are you finished with your brother comment?

[4:39] Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.

[4:41] Nothing to say.

[4:43] We have elected officials comments next.

[4:46] I'll hang around for those of you who have been left here.

[4:48] Absolutely.

[4:50] I like your officials. Do we have any comments?

[4:55] I would suggest you take a look at a tracing, because Marty Flam did not contribute to my campaign during the election.

[5:01] I know you hosted your fundraiser.

[5:04] I would suggest again that you take a look at Tracer, and you'll see that Marty Flam did not contribute to my campaign during the election.

[5:16] You don't have a comment?

[5:23] I don't have a comment.

[5:26] I guess there's a request that the county attorney in common?

[5:30] I would just say that I think that this is a personnel matter, and generally speaking,

[5:34] we don't discuss those in public hearing.

[5:37] Thank you.

[5:39] Any other comments from the elected officials?

[5:42] No.

[5:43] And we'll move on to our consent calendar.

[5:50] Do we have a motion for the consent calendar?

[5:53] We've been seconded.

[5:55] Commissioner Henry?

[5:56] Yes.

[5:57] Commissioner Hanson?

[5:58] Aye.

[5:59] Commissioner Tedesco?

[6:00] Aye.

[6:01] Motion passed.

[6:03] New business, county manager.

[6:05] Yes, we have one item today.

[6:07] The resolution awarding an addendum to an agreement with URS for professional engineering services for bridge scour remediation services.

[6:15] Lauren M. Hof is here to talk to them.

[6:18] Good morning.

[6:19] My name is Lauren M. Hof.

[6:20] I'm a purchasing manager for Eves County, and I'm a fill in for Lizard Strada.

[6:25] Opposals received on September 24, 2013 for the design plans profile reports.

[6:31] Construction bid documents, construction cost estimate, and all necessary services is specified in the question for proposals.

[6:36] For the scour remediation of four major bridges.

[6:41] The bridges were East 168th Avenue over the South Flat River.

[6:47] Henderson Road over the South Flat.

[6:50] Washington Street over Clear Creek and at McAe Road over the South Flat River.

[6:56] The request for services was sent to five pre-qualified firms.

[7:00] The firms were selected from the request for qualifications in drainage, structural and road.

[7:05] Services categories for non-specific projects.

[7:09] Services for projects under 75,000.

[7:12] After evaluating the proposal, URS was selected to provide the bridge scouring mediation services.

[7:19] URS is requesting a 60-day extension to the agreement in the work.

[7:24] The justification for the request is based on the need for structural analysis of the Henderson Bridge

[7:30] to determine the appropriate scour countermeasured designs.

[7:34] There were no designs or survey documents available for this bridge.

[7:38] James County and URS coordinated with a number of construct consultants to obtain the information.

[7:44] The Geo Technical Report was a last report they needed and was received on November 22, 2013.

[7:51] The current agreement allows for URS URS 90 days to complete the work, which would have been January 11, 2014.

[7:58] The extension would give them until March 11, 2014.

[8:02] The engineering division has no objections to the same term.

[8:06] That is the only change to the agreement.

[8:08] There are no other changes to terms of conditions.

[8:10] So we're just asking for an additional 60 days.

[8:14] Commissioner, do we have any questions?

[8:18] No questions. Do I have a motion?

[8:22] I'd like to move a resolution awarding an endendum to the agreement with URS for professional engineering services,

[8:30] for bridge scour.

[8:32] It's been services.

[8:34] I move for approval.

[8:36] Commissioner Henry?

[8:38] Yes.

[8:39] Commissioner Hansen?

[8:40] Yes.

[8:41] Commissioner Hansen?

[8:43] Yes.

[8:44] Commissioner Hansen?

[8:45] All right.

[8:47] No, they're on this morning.

[8:48] County attorney?

[8:49] No, New Business. Thank you.

[8:51] Move for a German?

[8:53] Something.

[8:54] All right.

[8:55] We are a German.
