A Department of Human Services staff member described the FreeWorld agreement as a partnership to assist reentry participants in obtaining commercial driver licenses (CDLA). The MOU is nonfinancial; the meeting record does not specify funding commitments or program delivery details beyond the stated purpose.

For the WIOA item, staff said the extension would extend the period of performance to Sept. 30, 2025, giving the county three additional months to obligate and extend program funds. The extension is part of routine grant administration for the workforce training grant program.

Both items were moved and approved by the board without extended discussion. The record includes a commissioner comment noting personal experience with CDL training and support for the initiative, but no additional programmatic commitments or budget changes were recorded at the meeting.

Next steps on both items—such as specific program partners, participant eligibility details, timelines for CDL training, or use of funds under WIOA—will be handled by Department of Human Services and the Workforce Development Board as part of grant administration and program implementation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Weld County Commissioner Regular Meeting | June 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved a nonfinancial memorandum of understanding with FreeWorld to support formerly incarcerated individuals pursuing Class A commercial driver’s licenses and extended the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) training grant period to Sept. 30, 2025.","taxTitle","Weld County, Colorado","taxId",12464,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6204768,"Weld County awards $105,150 IT maintenance contract to Trace 3 Government",30,1232000,1262000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3778178-f67ec19610e0558de22dd9e8c1aa1616&start=1232&end=1262","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3778178-f67ec19610e0558de22dd9e8c1aa1616/thumbnail_1232000.jpg","/articles/6204768/Weld-County/Colorado/Weld-County-awards-105150-IT-maintenance-contract-to-Trace-3-Government","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6204768-9ea948b718a90ba91063ea4cff1a2ad9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770954579&Signature=aFKDEzOHJprrzPncBc96HmTj1qSDyjBLZNRJ2ve81TZKDBU-7UWjNhZeDN8YjtLe72iCrKGPubzpixGHbE2MjLbRSe5J8TIkcZCCZIXd9x~dBVy2ESHHKlYIBbRu9UYQuuB9UJP6CaWLika~wYdjn~ZuTyqgRZBmV703m94Hi1m0OvRYJuLuv7~X~Lvf-jhfq4JI44D7ZB1lg48MTMKWDh1UZixhUFa-z9s4bdfD7bvjvWvxlomxllQwczD1LJXGujISFJskv8HE7~mRzphqnvIhytzGTAjCfOzK78J8GrKharkxEe-xU5XdGe64POcKtnvJKQwaGxO24wNuNcMySA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Weld County awarded Bid B2500078 on June 11 for information-technology maintenance and support, recommending Trace 3 Government as the most cost-effective bidder and approving the contract for $105,150.26.

Toby Taylor, with county purchasing, told commissioners that IT staff reviewed the bids and recommended Trace 3 Government of Colorado Springs as meeting the requirements and providing the most cost-effective solution. The recommendation was for a total award of $105,150.26.

A motion to approve Bid B2500078 was made and seconded; commissioners voted unanimously to approve the award as presented. The meeting record noted an earlier reference to Guardio Corp in the bid description but purchasing recommended award to Trace 3 Government based on the solicitation review.

A facilities department staff member told the board that the Communications Building needs a card-access upgrade as part of ongoing renovations and that Weld County Code 5.4.100 (cooperative purchasing) and section 5.4.80 (expenditures not requiring a procurement process) permit purchase from existing state or cooperative contracts without rebid.

The facilities staff said the county would use Colorado pricing agreement contract number 198297 under NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement number 99SWC-NV23-16267 and recommended award to Long Building Technologies for equipment and installation.

Commissioner Kevin Ross moved to approve the contract; Commissioner Scott James seconded. The board voted unanimously to approve the award and authorized the chair to sign the agreement.

The meeting record did not include additional budget reallocation details beyond the contract amount and the procurement authority cited in the presentation.","The Weld County Board of Commissioners authorized Contract ID 9543 to Long Building Technologies (doing business as Justice Systems Corporation) for $74,517.46 to install a card-access system at the Communications Building under a Colorado cooperative purchasing agreement.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6204777,"Weld County proclaims World Elder Abuse Awareness Day as APS reports 1,028 allegations in 2024",196,613000,809000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3778178-f67ec19610e0558de22dd9e8c1aa1616&start=613&end=809","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3778178-f67ec19610e0558de22dd9e8c1aa1616/thumbnail_613000.jpg","/articles/6204777/Weld-County/Colorado/Weld-County-proclaims-World-Elder-Abuse-Awareness-Day-as-APS-reports-1028-allegations-in-2024","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6204777-d32b2e12327a7c7f9128047c36c3a4f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770954579&Signature=ArcQl329W-egHR~GJE4qnDvxa9G5rZ16twbIujsXpIVuz7dgSK6IcMkfYmE7P02yQTQVPVwO9eySZGiRB-YtS8gOywJ3oz0gRjLuLohJw~nznHP1K4FGVK-DsMzjaMchR9BwW-qog0SSVJ26V5H9iSYges7AMtCf5lS2I1ZTuFD33NkWzkGj8c6ybE8tyyQ1hPC2ZZltFl8ZbnyejmC368eThOSDv17TkF28kMzdIWSAmf8lJTJ-vlLIlVAd8mutjYjaXkctxW6PGnh6Z07KmSfT3w18ltnKUebk~pjQL0TnPU2LBzaV1ksE78-YTFd4EOQ7TE-ME2eFyTW~tu1gCg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Weld County commissioners proclaimed June 15, 2025, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day during their June 11 meeting and heard from Tammy Grant, deputy director of the Weld County Department of Human Services, that Weld County Adult Protective Services investigated 1,028 allegations in 2024 — a 29% increase over 2023.

Grant told the board that APS “investigates, reports mistreatment, and coordinates appropriate services” and noted national estimates of elder mistreatment to underscore the need for awareness and prevention work.

The proclamation, read into the record at the meeting, says Weld County recognizes older adults as valued members of society and urges citizens to help prevent and identify abuse, exploitation and neglect. Grant said the department seeks the least-restrictive interventions while honoring individuals’ right to self-determination.

Commissioner Lynette Peppler addressed ageism and stereotyping during the remarks, saying the county should assume older residents remain “fully capable” unless proven otherwise and work to break assumptions that diminish older adults. Other commissioners thanked APS staff and invited community awareness of the issue.

The board signed the proclamation on the record; staff and several community partners attended the presentation and were named during the remarks. The meeting materials and remarks noted APS was recognized at the state level for compliance and invited to present best practices at a statewide meeting.

The commissioners encouraged public awareness and participation in local prevention efforts; the board noted an Elder Abuse Awareness walk scheduled the afternoon of the meeting.

The board did not take further formal policy action at the meeting on APS funding or program changes.","The Weld County Board of Commissioners proclaimed June 15, 2025, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and heard that the county’s Adult Protective Services investigated 1,028 allegations in 2024, a 29% increase over 2023, Department of Human Services Deputy Director Tammy Grant said.","actionData","errors"]
