Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative <br /> I wanted to ensure that this was documented on file with the State.The State requires notice to be available to <br /> the public at the County Clerk to the Boards Office. I was unable to get the information from the County as <br /> advised. I have reached out to both the County Clerk to the Board, Maria Higgins, her Supervisor,Chloe White <br /> and finally was contacted by Bruce Barker,County Attorney. I filed the complaint below with the State AG office <br /> since the information was not available and I was told they"made a mistake." <br /> There is a proposed mining site at the corner of CR396&54th Street Road in Weld County.The State <br /> Reclamation Mining and Safety Board requires notice to be posted and the files be available at the County for <br /> the public to view.The posting directed me to the Weld County Clerk to the Boards office. I called on 6/6/22 and <br /> spoke to Mariah Higgins,the Clerk to the Board and was advised that there are no records available and to <br /> speak to the planning department. Planning department sent me to the City of Evans.After weeks, it has been <br /> determined and proof provided by the State that the County had the documents on file since 4/1/22.The <br /> Supervisor to the Clerk to the Board confirmed in an email the documents were on file.The County failed to <br /> provide the documents to the public when requested directly.There is no response or accountability for their <br /> actions and not following the requirements of the State to share the documents on file for public viewing. I have <br /> records of the calls. <br /> This is a follow up to my previous complaint. I spoke to Bruce Barker, County Attorney for Weld County on <br /> 6/29/22. Bruce advised that the County"made a mistake"and didn't provide the information when requested <br /> with regards to the proposed mining site in Weld County.The State Department of Mining, Reclamation and <br /> Safety requires that the information be on file and available to the public at the County Clerk to the Boards <br /> office.When requested, I was told they had no information,sent to planning,who sent me to City of Evans. <br /> While trying to file a complaint of defective notice the State provided proof that the County had the information <br /> on file and didn't share it as required. Bruce stated they made a mistake.The information was not provided as <br /> required by the State statute upon request. How are we to trust the process or information when we get wrong <br /> information when we follow the process outlined by the State. <br />
