Dacono $ 26,23b <br />Firestone $ 34,327 <br />Frederick $ 29,044 <br />The residents have asked the Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District to seek <br />funding for the storm drainage improvement project in order to save their lives and <br />prevent property damage. There is currently harmony among the towns for the <br />regional detention pond. The history of the area indicates that this has not always <br />been the case. <br />Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District: <br />The Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District (District) presently does not own any <br />storm water facilities. The District is presently empowered with the responsibiliry <br />to set criteria for drainage improvements, review development submittals (i.e. plans <br />and reports) for compliance with enacted criteria and the maintenance of outlet <br />structures and major storm water conveyance facilities/ditches within the District's <br />boundaries. The District has one (1) person on their maintenance staff that <br />removes trash from outlet structures and ditches, and mows and burns weeds in the <br />ditches. In addition, typically once per year the District contracts out removal of <br />accumulated sediments in the main channel (Tri-Town Drainageway) west of the <br />Town of Firestone. <br />The District is made up of a Board of Directors, Clerk and a maintenance person. <br />The Board is composed of Tony Onorato, Jr., Galye Niles, Mike Hattel, Dennis <br />Bertron and Roger Trujillo. The Clerk is Cynthia Sullivan and the Maintenance <br />Person is Michelle Cole. The District also employees the services of a consulting <br />engineering firm and legal council. The services are supplied by The Sear-Brown <br />Group, Inc., and Collins & Cockrel, P.C. Attorneys At Law, respectively. <br />The District was founded in 1955 to administer and maintain the sanitary sewer <br />' infrastructure and treatment facility for the Towns of Frederick and Firestone and <br />the unincorporated area of Evanston. In the mid-1980s a suit was filed against <br />Northglen alleging Northglen's decision to release wastewater (sanitary) effluent <br />' into the Bull Canal would endanger the residents of the communities should the <br />Canal overflow. In settlement, Northglen agreed to pay a stipulated sum to the <br />communities for improvements to their storm water conveyance channels so <br />' discharges from the Canal could be intercepted and directed around the <br />communities. At that time, it was decided by the communities that the <br />, administration of the funds and long term maintenance could best be done by the <br />District. State Statutes allow a special district to serve more than one purpose, so <br />, <br />7 <br />' <br />
