I'm going to call the meeting to order. Can we have a roll call, please?
I'm going to order to desco. Here?
Mr. Henry, here. Mr. Hanson?
Stand for the blood of legions?
To the black, of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which stands, one nation under the law.
Can we have anyone find us with public comment?
No, we do not. I'm going to have a roll call. I'm going to go back.
I'm going to go back. Do I have a motion to approve the agenda?
Second.
Mr. Hanson?
Mr. Henry?
Yes.
Mr. Tedesco?
Aye.
Now, we can have public comment. I believe we have one person that was not signed up.
And we'll bring him up. If you could state your name and address for the record.
Yes, go on. My name is Kelly Dunaway. My address is 2211.M Street in Denver.
I'm about a year ago, you fired my wife, Jim Lashdog, County Attorney.
You didn't give her a reason?
You sent her an email. It's one of the things I want to talk about today.
Last Friday, we were a judge of folks' retirement gathering.
That was a lot of good people there.
Former Chief Justice Fender gave a keynote speak.
You're sure if you're DA. It was a wonderful event, actually.
When we got out of the car, my wife broke down and saw it.
This was a family that he ripped her away from.
But what really got to her was a number of people.
Good Adams County employees who were also her family.
That answer, what the hell happened?
And she is disturbed to no.
That so many people don't have any idea and would logically assume that she did something wrong
that led to her termination.
That's what I want to talk about.
I'm going to tell you what I know.
I'm going to ask if you've got to reply.
What I know is that Marty Flam funnels a lot of money.
I represent a lot of interest in the county to get the right people in office.
What I know is that even after the campaigns are done,
he continues to get little envelopes to cash to elected officials.
I know specifically of one who accepted that cash
and after a night contemplating its implications,
returned it and good for him.
I know that the same Marty Flam raised a money that put you in office.
And I know that while he was raising the money and raised having his fundraising dinners,
my wife was relentlessly trying to clean up Adams County
and was instrumental in the prosecution of many of the key figures in the quality-paving scandal.
I know that the same Marty Flam called and made threatening phone calls to the county,
demanding among other things that the county back off of Leace.
I know that my wife did not back off of Leace and that he was criminally prosecuted.
And I know that before you even took off this, she was warned that you were coming to get rid of her.
Now, I'm no rocket science scientist, but I'm pretty good with math and what those numbers add up,
especially given the lack of any reason ever given to her or any discussion with her about anything she might be failing.
What that says is this was not about any failure on her part,
but was a cowardly act of political reprisal.
And I'd like to ask, if you can fill in that blank and prove me that I'm wrong,
because I would like to believe in Adam's County Government again.
Have you got anything?
Are you finished with your brother comment?
Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.
Nothing to say.
We have elected officials comments next.
I'll hang around for those of you who have been left here.
Absolutely.
I like your officials. Do we have any comments?
I would suggest you take a look at a tracing, because Marty Flam did not contribute to my campaign during the election.
I know you hosted your fundraiser.
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.
You don't have a comment?
I don't have a comment.
I guess there's a request that the county attorney in common?
I would just say that I think that this is a personnel matter, and generally speaking,
we don't discuss those in public hearing.
Thank you.
Any other comments from the elected officials?
No.
And we'll move on to our consent calendar.
Do we have a motion for the consent calendar?
We've been seconded.
Commissioner Henry?
Yes.
Commissioner Hanson?
Aye.
Commissioner Tedesco?
Aye.
Motion passed.
New business, county manager.
Yes, we have one item today.
The resolution awarding an addendum to an agreement with URS for professional engineering services for bridge scour remediation services.
Lauren M. Hof is here to talk to them.
Good morning.
My name is Lauren M. Hof.
I'm a purchasing manager for Eves County, and I'm a fill in for Lizard Strada.
Opposals received on September 24, 2013 for the design plans profile reports.
Construction bid documents, construction cost estimate, and all necessary services is specified in the question for proposals.
For the scour remediation of four major bridges.
The bridges were East 168th Avenue over the South Flat River.
Henderson Road over the South Flat.
Washington Street over Clear Creek and at McAe Road over the South Flat River.
The request for services was sent to five pre-qualified firms.
The firms were selected from the request for qualifications in drainage, structural and road.
Services categories for non-specific projects.
Services for projects under 75,000.
After evaluating the proposal, URS was selected to provide the bridge scouring mediation services.
URS is requesting a 60-day extension to the agreement in the work.
The justification for the request is based on the need for structural analysis of the Henderson Bridge
to determine the appropriate scour countermeasured designs.
There were no designs or survey documents available for this bridge.
James County and URS coordinated with a number of construct consultants to obtain the information.
The Geo Technical Report was a last report they needed and was received on November 22, 2013.
The current agreement allows for URS URS 90 days to complete the work, which would have been January 11, 2014.
The extension would give them until March 11, 2014.
The engineering division has no objections to the same term.
That is the only change to the agreement.
There are no other changes to terms of conditions.
So we're just asking for an additional 60 days.
Commissioner, do we have any questions?
No questions. Do I have a motion?
I'd like to move a resolution awarding an endendum to the agreement with URS for professional engineering services,
for bridge scour.
It's been services.
I move for approval.
Commissioner Henry?
Yes.
Commissioner Hansen?
Yes.
Commissioner Hansen?
Yes.
Commissioner Hansen?
All right.
No, they're on this morning.
County attorney?
No, New Business. Thank you.
Move for a German?
Something.
All right.
We are a German.
