The Board of Trustees encourages citizen participation. Public hearings and
the “unscheduled citizens” agenda item allow an opportunity to address the
Board. Discussion is limited to 3 minutes and please address your comments
to the Board. Thank you for your cooperation.
The Board of Trustees may take action on any item included on this agenda,
regardless of the heading under which such item appears. Discussion items
may become action items if the Board determines that deferring final action
on an item to a subsequent meeting is unnecessary or unwarranted and that
taking immediate action does not compromise any third-party's rights.
The Board of Trustees meeting packets are prepared by Friday before the
Tuesday meetings and are available for inspection at Town Hall during normal
business hours. The information is reviewed and studied by the Board of
Trustee members, eliminating lengthy discussions to gain basic understanding.
Short discussion on agenda items does not reflect lack of thought or
analysis. The agendas are posted at Town Hall, the post office, and on the
Town's website on the Friday prior to the meeting. Copies of the agenda and
meeting packet are available at no cost via email from the Town Clerk or from
the Town website at www.nederlandco.org.
* Quasi-judicial agenda item, Board members are encouraged not to discuss
outside of the meeting.

Armani Munn’s efforts to achieve full STAR community rating system ranking, working
with Advisory Groups to document attainment of STAR objectives. Reis said that she has
included updates on NPP processes, all remaining 2014 events and meetings, and a general
idea of topics for board review.

In addition to budget, Forberger said she has primarily worked on grant close-outs for
TEENS JAG/Restorative Justice, Saws-n-Slaws, Noxious Weeds, and the FEMA projects,
which address both Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) and roadway/street repairs. She said that
the I&I project has concluded, coming in $60,000 below estimate due to pre-emptive system
and point repairs; with roadwork imminent in 2015. Forberger said that 87 ½% was
covered of the $365,000 requested, with a remaining 12 ½% match submitted that is still
awaiting approval. Forberger said she’ll have the amended budget on December 2.

presence for safety on Halloween, along with temporary lighting at crosswalks, she said.

Reis also spoke about this item, with specific questions to be fielded by Chris Pelletier on
Morrison’s behalf. She said the report included updates on departmental training, raw
water diversion, water plant and WWTP testing, streets, drainage, vehicle maintenance,
repaving of the infamous “luge run” at the Community Center parking lot, and seasonal
decommissioning of town parks.

E. BOARD OF TRUSTEE REPORTS
1.
Mayor’s Report
Mayor Gierlach re-presented the slide show from October 7, highlighting the American
Planning Association award reception, which he attended to accept the Honor Award for
Sustainability for Nederland’s Comprehensive Plan. In his report, Mayor Gierlach cited the
creation of the Envision 2020 process, as well as achievements during his time as mayor, to
include the completion of many Advisory Board Master Plans and the Sustainability Action
Plan. He lauded the sustainable and innovative design of the Wastewater Treatment Plant
(WWTP), and the upcoming construction of the NedPeds project in 2015 after extensive
public input in 2013/2014. Mayor Gierlach reiterated the 4 steps necessary to fulfill
Envision 2020 goals by 2020 as follows: 1) Increase resident awareness of Envision 2020,
the Nederland Planning Process (NPP), the Comprehensive Plan and the Community
Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) from 2-5%, 2) Assure residents that associated action
items being undertaken will not be abandoned by the BOT with all listed projects to go
through NPP review, 3) Ensure adaptability of projects to be continually updated along
with public outreach and integration, and 4) Be able to measure progress. Mayor Gierlach
noted that Nederland’s participation in the STAR program, can give direction to increase
sustainability.

a. Trustees’ Reports
Trustee Wood
Trustee Wood said that no meetings happened in time to get on record, thus he submitted a
summary to be included within the minutes. He said the Community Center Foundation
Board (CCFB) has filled vacant seats, to come before the BOT for approval on November 18.
Trustee Wood attended the CML Policy Committee meeting with topics including: economic
development tax incentives to allow statutory towns to offer local tax breaks for businesses;
the allowance for negotiated insurance settlements for construction defects related to
affordable housing; DORA MMJ code change recommendations re: MMJ registration for
taxation purposes; and proposed changes to Amendment 720 to coincide with DORA
taxation recommendations and allow statutory municipalities to instill excise taxes.
Trustee Mueller
Trustee Mueller said he was unable to attend the recent DDA meeting at which the draft
budget was approved, and a letter about the Community Center site plan. Trustee Mueller
mentioned an upcoming Business Community Exchange event on November 11, with more
info forthcoming. He said discussion also included the DDA’s involvement in parking and
vendor issues, Rules of Procedures and code of conduct, as well as holiday and tree lighting.
Mayor Pro Tem Fiori
Mayor Pro Tem Fiori said that there was no SAB meeting in October. Fiori said that SAB
will present the movie “Bag It”, at the Backdoor Theater in November with date and time to
be announced.
Trustee Donahue
Trustee Donahue gave updates from the Planning Commission (PC), to include unanimous
approval of Timmy Duggan joining the board, the 6-month review of ClubNed Cannabis
Café, and discussion of building code updates, supporting adoption of 2012 Building code
and 2014 Electrical code. Trustee Donahue said that the PC would like to have a joint work
session to align goals re: single and multifamily use code. He said that the Eco-Pass
Improvement Board discussed the Climb bus, which has funding, but a low ridership.

Trustee Lee
Trustee Lee said his report is included in the packet with a change to the location for the
October InterMountain Alliance meeting (IMA).
Mayor Gierlach said he has informed Advisory Boards about a survey for the Town
Administrator’s evaluation, with the request for Reis to meet with boards for her annual
review. Mayor Gierlach also said that the Boulder and Gilpin County Commissioners’
Dinner event will happen after the November election.
F. PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS (Speakers limited to 3 minutes)
Udo Sille of Nederland, stated that the town is approaching the controversy of residential
marijuana cultivation by reducing floor area percentage in the wrong way. He said that
zoning stipulates what can and cannot be done upon property, which is being circumvented.
Sille said that commercial property requires much higher taxes, and thus, unfair to
business owners if multi-use businesses are allowed to operate in residential districts. Sille
said the determination should be whether the property is set up for a business, as
residential districts should not include industrial size cultivation for profit.
AF
T
Ken MacFerrin of Nederland, said that he disagrees with the proposal to reduce floor area
for home occupations, as many large corporations were born from small home offices. He
said that it is clear that the change is intended to address marijuana businesses, though
this will negatively impact other businesses. MacFerrin would support proposal of
ordinances that are specific to marijuana.
R
Mayor Gierlach said that discussion pertaining to residential marijuana cultivation and
home occupation floor area is agenda item that can be moved up due to public attendance
specific to this item. A straw poll was conducted among the board to determine if the
discussion should be moved forward and/or changed to an action item. The former
consideration met with overall board approval, though Trustees Lee and Wood wanted to
wait on the latter to allow Trustee Larsen’s participation.
D
G. DISCUSSION ITEMS
1. Consideration of an Ordinance approving changes to Home Occupation Code and
Zoning Use Chart related to retail marijuana uses in residential zoning districts.
Reis introduced the item, stating that there are 2 separate, but related items contained in
this discussion. She said that the intention to zone out commercial marijuana uses in
residential districts has been a routine PC recommendation. Reis said that the adoption of
retail regulations established different allowances between retail and medical marijuana,
which creates enforcement challenges despite being the same plant. She referenced the use
group chart included within the packet that has proposed changes in red between MMJ and
retail MJ, in which Reis tried to address discrepancies, though this change had almost no
PC support. She noted enforcement challenges, which had been discussed at length at the
BOT/PC joint work session in July. She said the method for enforcement is primarily
addressed within the nuisance code, with reported complaints, predominately related to
odor, along with increased traffic. Retail licensing for stand-alone businesses began as of
October 1, with those already holding MMJ licenses having had a head start to begin
operations. At this time, Reis said 1 stand alone applicant has applied in the commercial
zone, to open once building renovation and inspections are completed.
Reis clarified that the PC recommendation concerning Home Occupation floor area, was not
initially related to marijuana. She explained that use of up to 50% of a home’s square
Page 16 of 160
footage is no longer incidental or secondary, but more akin to mixed-use. Reis said that
many uses brought up during the meeting’s public comment portion are presently not
allowed as a home occupation, thus the code is ripe for review. The PC put forth
recommendations after the July Joint session, though it was intended to come before the
BOT in order to be in place for the October 1, she said. Per Reis, the Town Attorney
indicated that conditions can be addressed via Special Review Use (SRU), should
applications come forward for home occupations.
She did note that garages and
outbuildings are not permitted for use as Home Occupations according to the current code.
Mayor directed Board questions to Reis, followed by public comment and board discussion.
AF
T
As Former PC Liaison Trustee Mueller, disagreed with Reis as to when changes to use code
re: restrictions for MJ cultivation in residential areas was forwarded, though noted that the
floor area allowance ties in with Comp Plan goals to localize economy and support cottage
industries in a town with limited available commercial property. Trustee Mueller asked
how to make cultivation a safe, legitimate industry, which was the work put forward by
Ordinance 720. Reis said that there has been considerable discussion between town staff,
BOT and PC, whom all have different perspectives, with the lion’s share of issues seen by
town staff to enforce operations. Mayor Pro Tem Fiori said that Reis introduced Ordinance
720 to the BOT, and asked for a list to accommodate an SRU, which is now proposing to be
overturned with the forwarding of a different ordinance. Reis said she delivered the
request to PC, with these recommendations coming forward, that she doing her best to
summarize on their behalf. PC Liaison Trustee Donahue said that the current PC is in
strong agreement against industrial use in residential areas, which he expressed as the
idea of homes becoming “industry cottages” instead of creating cottage industries.
Trustee Wood asked Reis to request the PC review previous discussions to figure out what
they meant years ago, though their current intention is more relevant. Reis said the PC
can speak to the BOT to transmit their own intention, though they have expressed that
neither previous recommendations nor the discussion at the July joint session were heard.
R
Trustee Wood asked if any commercial residential cultivators have any come forward for
licensing. Reis responded that there have been no applications for Home Occupation
cultivation.
D
Reis clarified that there will be a code enforcement presentation on November 18, to include
marijuana-associated issues. Trustee Mueller asked about unintended consequences to
understand gaps in current code for specific revisions. Reis said that there are large
operations in effect, more than boutique/home occupation scale businesses, some of which
have been reported for odor or other issues. She said that part of the difficulty lies in the
difference between the expectation of privacy for commercial vs. residential businesses.
Enforcement is more easily facilitated with SRU’s, with posted hours of operation, along
with inspection during business hours, she said.
Reis said that known operations are being addressed on a case-by-case basis, but the town
is not in business of hunting people down for their home based businesses. She said that
the town is educating residents on licensing requirements, however it is expected that few
will have the capital, willingness, and ability to establish operations in commercial
districts, and/or as a legal home occupation.
Mayor Gierlach opened up the meeting to public comment.
Page 17 of 160
Mark Rose of Nederland, said as a medical marijuana patient, plant counts can be
deceptive. He said he discontinued caregiving due to space requirements to accommodate
his patients, though takes umbrage at the implication that caregiving is called a loophole.
Rose acknowledged issues, though he said all can be addressed by current rules, with the
rental market due to county/town growth constraints. He said issues specific to marijuana
should be separated from other home-based businesses, with no reduction in allowable floor
area percentage. He asked the BOT to tread lightly regarding patient rights, and the
intention of voters who turned out in high numbers to support Ordinance 720.
Jesse Seavers of Nederland, said that he thinks there is a missed opportunity from a
sustainability perspective, in a community with a large population of master growers, but
no local food supply. He suggested an incentive be made for those growers to include food
production, to create a burgeoning food economy, noting that skillful policy creation can be
used to create and subsidize such an enterprise.
Udo Sille of Nederland, said he feels that the mystique of growing marijuana contributes to
the PC recommendations, which would be different if pertaining to food cultivation. If the
town is aware of businesses running out of homes without enforcing zoning, it is unfair to
licensed business owners, he said.
AF
T
Ken MacFerrin of Nederland, acknowledged that he has no personal agenda, though
present codes can address external impacts of the industry. He said it’s not the town’s
business what people do on their private property, and asked the Trustees if this is what
they feel they were elected to do. MacFerrin urged them to focus on issues affecting the
town, outside of peoples’ homes.
R
Travis Brock of Nederland, said that he appreciates the Task Force’s diligence, though he
was unaware of issues until an MJ cultivation was going to move in next to his home, as a
commercial business in the industrial zone. Not everyone wants these businesses to be in
the neighborhoods, he said, noting vastly different property/house sizes, along with
marijuana poisoning of his dog, and issues such as trash that are not properly enforced. He
asked the BOT to examine use group charts, and encourage SRU in any zone to provide
public, neighborhood, and business owner comment prior to operations.
D
Mayor Gierlach said that the issues presented may call for another NPP review.
Trustee Lee said the proposed home occupation floor area reduction should go through NPP
review, though he supports the PC recommendation about use group table changes. He
said that the predominant nature of the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) district is
residential, and feels that retail should be kept out of residential areas regardless of the
business type. He said he is in favor of treating liquor like marijuana, which allows for
home brewing, but not sales. Trustee Lee said he appreciated Brock’s comment regarding
the overlapping of districts, and should consider an SRU requirement in these areas.
Trustee Donahue said although the community voted to treat marijuana like alcohol,
commercial marijuana cultivation in homes isn’t like alcohol. Trustee Donahue said this
may not be as large of an issue as anticipated, and would support letting the code stand to
be revisited in a year to see what issues arise. He also said that he doesn’t think that the
Home Occupation code should be altered.
Mayor Pro Tem Fiori said he has made his stance clear, as there is a pre-existing
Page 18 of 160
cultivation culture in town, and it’s foolhardy to tell people what they can do. He said it’s
an opportunity loss to not be able to regulate businesses, though he takes to heart Sille’s
mention of zoning concerns. It is unfortunate for the resident who lives across the street
from the industrial zone, he said, although the task force did include regulations about the
extraction process, which belongs in the industrial zone, and consists of 65% of
marketshare. Mayor Pro Tem Fiori disagreed with floor area restrictions, to allow
professionals to work from home instead of commuting. He noted Nederland’s 3 main
exports are culture to include art and music, technology, and marijuana, but the town can
produce more economically than a bedroom community and tourism, while giving lip service
to sustainability. He said grow operations can be legalized providing financial and safety
benefits for the town. Fiori said he doesn’t believe there are many full house grows, which
is something he wouldn’t support, nor further NPP review.
Trustee Mueller cited Trustee Lee’s comment about SRU based on individual situations,
stating that current zoning isn’t effective. He said modal zoning would make more work for
volunteers and town staff, but would have more logical build out of facilities. Trustee
Mueller said that Ordinance 720 should stay in effect, while ensuring that growers don’t
destroy property. He said he supports retaining the existing code, with the budget for code
enforcement to address issues and BOT review in one year.
AF
T
Trustee Wood listed existing problems from underground businesses such as trashed and/or
damaged homes with the burden born by the landlord/property owner. He also noted there
are public safety concerns, such as electrical rewiring that can contribute to fires. He
supported Sille’s comments about business licensing, though no applications have come
forward. Trustee Wood said he doesn’t support floor area reduction, although with
forthcoming information regarding medical marijuana, he supports waiting a year, with the
intention to improve enforcement during that time.
Motion to indefinitely table the floor area percentage change to the home occupation code
was made by Mayor Gierlach, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Fiori, with all in favor.
D
R
Board discussion continued on the latter item re: retail marijuana uses in residential
districts. Mayor Pro Tem Fiori stated his feeling that it is a non-problem which supports
review, if circumstances warrant. He queried what incentives are on offer for longtime
cultivators to pay town and state fees, especially for smaller operations. Fiori’s said his
concern is on full house grow operations, and asked how this is being addressed now,
suggesting apportioning budget for code enforcement related to marijuana to address
existing issues. Trustee Donahue would support re-review in October 2015 to allow issues
to arise or resolve, along with any changes within State guidelines. Reis noted that
forthcoming rental licensing will be provided by SAFEbuilt. Trustee Lee said the
cultivation aspect of marijuana can be addressed at a later date, with a review of other
marijuana uses now. Lee stated that he favors changes to move commercial and/or retail
establishments out of residential areas, including the Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
district.
Motion to table the use group changes proposed for residences to be revisited in October
2015 made by Trustee Donahue, seconded by Trustee Mueller, with 4 in favor and Trustees
Lee and Wood opposed.
Page 19 of 160
Mayor Gierlach called a brief recess, and called for a motion to extend the meeting until
10:30pm. Motion to extend the meeting for 30 minutes made by Trustee Lee, seconded by
Trustee Wood, all in favor with Mayor Pro Tem Fiori opposed.
Meeting resumed at 9:58 pm.
H. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
• Quarterly Building and Code Enforcement Reports
There were no questions pertaining to this item.
I.
ACTION ITEMS
1. Consideration of Resolution 2014-23 to appoint LauraJane Baur as Town Clerk.
LauraJane (aka LJ) said she is honored to have this opportunity.
Motion to approve Resolution 2014-23 was made by Mayor Pro Tem Fiori, seconded by
Donahue, with unanimous approval. Deputy Town Clerk Cynthia Bakke swore LauraJane
Baur in as the Nederland Town Clerk.
AF
T
2. Consideration of engineering task orders related to the biosolids study (WWTP) and
mixing zone study (sewer permit requirement).
Reis introduced the item. She said the biosolids study is the precursor to determining an
alternative other than waste hauling, whereas the mixing zone study is a requirement of
the sewer permit for discharge, which is still incomplete. Utilities Manager Chris Pelletier
was in attendance to answer any technical questions.
R
Mayor Pro Tem Fiori asked if the biosolids study was JVA’s recommendation, to which Reis
confirmed. Fiori asked if the study can be put out to bid instead of using JVA engineering
firm, though this was part of the reasoning behind utilizing on-call engineering. Trustee
Wood asked if both firms could provide an estimate, which Reis affirmed. Trustee Mueller
asked if there is a price estimate ceiling above which the town could seek bids for design
work. Reis affirmed, with any policy changes to be made if the board so chooses, noting the
town’s purchase policy requires review at the $10k level. As the town is under contract
with these prequalified firms, a clause can be included to outsource beyond a certain
amount.
D
Mayor Gierlach said there has been a proposal modeling Summit County’s approach of
mixing slash with biosolids; as well as including mushroom mycelium, working with a
renowned local area mycologist. Gierlach said he wants inclusion of these options in JVA’s
scope of work, which Trustee Mueller supported. Trustee Lee said that in the financial
section, only Task One is included in the mixing zone study. Reis clarified that only task
one would need to be included, with task 2 coming back before the board if necessary.
Reis clarified that the total cost is $24k, already budgeted for in 2014’s Utilities surplus.
Forberger noted November grant deadlines for biosolids portion that are applicable. Mayor
Gierlach encouraged more town staff involvement in county Resource Conservation
Advisory Board (RCAB) to represent Nederland’s zero-waste efforts, and said he feels that
Nederland’s plans should be included in county funding for these efforts.
Trustee Mueller said that he responded to town staff recommendations, which he wanted to
be promoted as a zero waste option, with inclusion of NedCompost and Boulder County in
Page 20 of 160
all discussions. Mayor Gierlach said Boulder County is looking at funding for composting
and zero waste with use of a digester.
Motion to approve task orders with caveat to include alternatives within the biosolids study
was made by Trustee Mueller, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Fiori, with unanimous
approval.
3.
Consideration of Resolution 2014-25 to cancel the Nov. 4, 2014 and Dec. 16, 2014
Regular Board meetings.
Motion to approve Resolution 2014-25 was made by Mayor Pro Tem Fiori, seconded by
Trustee Donahue, with unanimous approval.
4. Consideration of Resolution 2014-26 to support a grant application for the
Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) funds for the NedPeds spurs.
Forberger introduced the item. She explained that TAP funds are in addition to TIP
funding by DRCOG. She said that the TAP fund deadline is October 31, with the
requirement of a 20% funding match. The funding is intended to support projects that are
“shovel-ready”, such as the spurs to the Nedpeds project.
AF
T
The spurs were design alternatives that were excluded from the NedPeds project due to
cost, said Forberger clarifying the spur locations: 1) From 2nd Street to Snyder Street
where it meets Hwy 119; and 2) From East Street to the Post Office/Hwy 119. The project
includes a covered bus stop at the former location, and a replacement culvert at Snyder
between 2nd and 3rd Street, she said.
Forberger said that the grant would provide a $10k match from Town, plus $30k match by
the DDA, which will provide a total of $185k in grant funding.
Trustee Wood asked if there is any downside to applying for grant. Reis responded that
this is ideal funding for the completion of these spurs. Mayor Pro Tem Fiori expressed his
opposition to inclusion of the spurs within the project.
R
Travis Brock of Nederland, asked if the spurs include pedestrian walkway improvements,
which Forberger affirmed. Brock said he supports these needed improvements.
D
Board discussion offered mixed support. Mueller questioned the necessity of the East St.
busstop, stating that the original proposal wasn’t a good design per Mueller. He suggested
options such as Jersey barriers and crosswalk striping, instead of utilizing more money for
the project due to grant availability. He said he was in support of drainage improvements
on Snyder to increase habitat along with addition of culvert. Forberger said that drainage
improvements and the culvert on Snyder are provided with the grant. She indicated that
grant funding can allow other options within the project. Trustee Mueller said he would
like to include the spurs along with maintaining the conversation about the project and
other areas in town that need improvements. Forberger said that the project goes out to
bid in early 2015, with an ability to make tweaks to the project as needed.
Motion to extend the meeting by 30 minutes was made by Trustee Wood at 10:30 pm,
seconded by Mayor Gierlach, with 5 in favor, and Mayor Pro Tem Fiori opposed.
Motion to approve the Resolution 2014-26 was made by Mayor Gierlach, seconded by
Trustee Wood, with 5 in favor, and Mayor Pro Tem Fiori opposed.

Discussion items
1. Public Hearing and Presentation of the 2015 Draft Budget
Forberger introduced the item, stating that the presentation is included within the packet.
Forberger outlined the budget process in which department heads submit budgets, which
are then presented to the BOT and public hearing. Reis said that public comment will be
accepted until November 3 regarding the Draft Budget.
Forberger explained that the 2015 budget supports infrastructure based on needs of Master
Infrastructure Plan (MIP), the long-identified need of a public works shop, as well as
Community Center staff increases. Forberger said community goals have identified the
desire for 4th of July fireworks, fire mitigation grants, economic development grants
through state and county offices.
Forberger referenced the general fund budget revenues showing a 6% increase, which is
primarily generally by sales tax increase. She indicated that there will not be much in
reserve without expected sales tax dollar infusion.
AF
T
She explained that BOT costs will increase due Trustee payment for the full-year.
Forberger noted that she is also converting to full time staff with benefits instead of
contract work. She said that Planning and Zoning budget is down without former Town
Engineer Mark Weritz on payroll. There are increases to both the Police Department and
Community Center budgets to support additional personnel.
Forberger noted that Professional Services are down to due to rate study and MIP plan
completions in 2014, and the elimination of ORC services due to attainment by Chris
Pelletier’s of his water operator B license.
Forberger went over budget timeline, to include Final Budget presentation on December 2,
which Reis said will also include the following week’s budget session re: rates and fees.
R
Mayor Pro Tem Fiori asked for a more detailed report for utilities expenditures, which has
a lower budget in 2015. Forberger explained reduction of professional services, and studies
that were included within 2014.
D
Trustee Wood asked about the DDA increasing debt authority, which Forberger clarified
would not occur until 2016. She explained that the DDA receives funding from taxes and
new construction, which allows the DDA to borrow without raising taxes, benefitting from
tax increases in other districts.
Mayor Gierlach mentioned Trustee Larsen’s comment to keep the funding in reserves in the
general fund instead of transferring money for the PW shop. Mayor Pro Tem Fiori
requested details about the proposed Public Works shop. Reis said that the budgeted
amount is an estimate, with more accuracy once full engineering is completed, which would
require compensation. She said that there are issues to be addressed now to retain
insurance coverage, although there can be consideration of delaying the project until 2016,
or straddling over 2 years. Mayor Pro Tem Fiori said policies in place are not being
followed for new developments, with Trustee Mueller adding that he would like to see a list
of all the spaces required, along with square footage and price per square foot. Trustee
Mueller said the goal should be to operate off grid and not increase dependence on fossil
fuels.

ORDINANCE NO. 734
AN ORDINANCE CLARIFYING THE VACATION OF PORTIONS OF WEST 4TH AND
NORTH TILDEN STREETS ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NOS. 704 AND 705
WHEREAS, pursuant to C.R.S. § 43-2-301 et seq., the Town of Nederland, Colorado
(“Town”), acting by and through its Board of Trustees (“Board”), possesses the authority to
divest the Town’s interest in platted or designated public streets, roads, and other public ways by
ordinance; and
WHEREAS, upon the request of certain adjacent property owners and pursuant to this
authority, the Board previously acted to vacate portions of West 4th and North Tilden Streets in
the vicinity of Lots 9 and 10, Block 29 of the Town, through the adoption of Ordinance Nos. 704
and 705 on January 3, 2012;
WHEREAS, the Town and the owners of said Lots 9 and 10 negotiated a fair market
value for the portions of the vacated streets that would vest in those lots by operation of law:
C.R.S. § 43-2-302; and
WHEREAS, based on compensation given and received, the intent of all parties involved
and operation of state law, it was each party’s understanding and the Board’s intent that, upon
the effectiveness of Ordinance Nos. 704 and 705, title to the entire width of the vacated portion
of 4th Street lying to the north of Lot 9 would vest in Lot 9, title to the entire width of the vacated
portion of 4th Street lying to the north of Lot 10 would vest in Lot 10, title to the west half (the
west 30’ of the 60’ wide right-of-way) of the vacated portion of Tilden Street would vest in Lot
10, and title to the east half (the east 30’ of the 60’ right-of-way) of the vacated portion of Tilden
Street would vest in Lot 6, Block 26 of the Town; and
WHEREAS, the road vacation plat, attached as Exhibit A to both Ordinance Nos. 704
and 705, properly illustrates the intended portions of the streets to be vacated but it does not, nor
is it required to, illustrate the manner in which title will vest by operation of law; and
WHEREAS, the Road Vacation Description, also attached as Exhibit A to both
Ordinance Nos. 704 and 705, describes the area of West 4th Street to be vacated and does not
describe the area of Tilden Street to be vacated; and
WHEREAS, as a result, the effect of Ordinance Nos. 704 and 705 may be unclear, and
staff with the Boulder County Assessor’s Office has expressed a willingness to correct any
unintended errors in its property records if the Town provides some clarity on the issue; and
WHEREAS, the Board therefore wishes to clarify the scope and result of the right-ofway vacations intended by Ordinance Nos. 704 and 705.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Trustees of the Town of

AGENDA ITEM:
Approval of Frozen Dead Guy Days Public Property Lease Agreement renewal.
SUMMARY:
Attached for the Board’s consideration is the renewal of the Facility Use Agreement
for the 2015 Frozen Dead Guy Days event. During the renewal for the 2014 event, it
was indicated that all events would be moved to the new performance space,
including all current Chipeta Park events. The event organizer, Amanda
MacDonald, has requested that events remain in place, given that the performance
space was only recently opened and has not yet hosted any events.
MacDonald, of Butterfly Effect Promotions, has submitted all the necessary permit
applications and fees to hold the 14th annual Frozen Dead Guy Days (FDGD) special
event to take place March 13-15, 2014 at Chipeta Park and the private lot between
35 and 75 East First Street, owned by Ron Mitchell. One tent at each location will
be set up to house the music, liquor service, and vendors. There will be an open
drinking area fenced in outside of both tents. New this year will be a $5 charge to
enter the music/beer tents, in an effort by the organizer to raise additional funds for
the event.
Staff from Town Hall, Public Works, the Police Department, and the Fire
Department, have been meeting with the organizer monthly (or more) since soon
after the 2014 event, in order to assist in earlier planning of the 2015 event, and to
offer assistance in more of a partnership than we have before.
Since the Town now implements Public Property Lease Agreements for large
events, the FDGD agreement is before the Board for approval and the Mayor’s
signature. All conditions have been discussed with the applicant, and she has had a
chance to review the draft agreement.
Page 34 of 160
The year 2013 was the first time the Town introduced the use of a facilities
agreement to clarify Town and organizer responsibilities when a large event takes
place on Town property. The agreement was modeled after a similar template used
by the Town of Lyons for the use of its facilities by large events. It is a legally
enforceable document that clearly outlines the expectations of the Town and the
organizers with regard to the facilities being used, as well as the insurance and
deposit requirements.
The Board has approved the agreement for the 2013 and 2014 events.
QUESTIONS BEFORE THE BOARD:
1. Does the Board wish to approve the Public Property Lease Agreement?
2. Does the Board wish to impose any further requirements in the Agreement
prior to approval?

effective on the date indicated below.
WHEREAS, BEP has scheduled or plans to schedule a commercial entertainment
event in Town to be conducted, in whole or in part, on certain public property, which
event has been determined by the Town to have the potential to significantly and
negatively impact Town residents, businesses and visitors by imposing a temporary
and unusual demand on Town resources, facilities and personnel, including but not
limited to Town parks, recreational facilities and streets, Public Works staff and
public safety/first responder personnel (“Event”); and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of Trustees (“Board”) recognizes the potential positive
impact the Event may also have on Town residents and businesses, through the
generation of Town visibility, civic pride, cultural and recreational opportunities
and sales tax revenue; and
WHEREAS, such potential positive impacts are determined by the Board to be of
value to the public only if the potential burdens to be placed on public resources by
the Event are managed in such a way that does not compromise the public health,
safety and welfare; and
WHEREAS, BEP recognizes that the Event may significantly impact the public
health, safety and welfare, and desires the Town’s cooperation in preparing for and
managing such impacts; and
WHEREAS, the Parties therefore wish to set forth the terms and conditions of
BEP’s use of Town property in association with the Event, as further set forth
herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and
agreements of the Parties, conformance with the Site Plan, and other good and

Administrator's Report
What’s next for 2015?
In the past year, we saw great progress in long-term planning for the future, adopting
an updated Comprehensive Plan and the first-ever master plan for the Town’s
infrastructure systems. Both will help keep us on track to take care of our assets and
make repairs and improvements where needed – both by understanding the prioritized
needs of the community and their costs, so we can plan to have enough resources to
cover them.
Just shy of 2015, we have already begun financial and strategic
planning for these projects, including the long-awaited Town shop
to replace the extinct current shop on 5th Street, as well as a study
to find the best solution to redirect treated sludge from the
wastewater plant away from the landfill. We’ll also finally begin
the NedPeds multi-modal pathway project, and provided grant
funds are successfully won, that will also include previously
unaffordable spurs to bus stops.
If it’s been awhile since you’ve reviewed the Town’s plans or want to point residents to
the information, be sure to remember our (somewhat) new Town Documents page on the
Web site: http://nederlandco.org/government/town-documents/. Staff is also always
willing to answer any questions.
We are continuing to build professional and streamlined services across departments,
with the help of annual training and mentoring of all staff. We all look forward to
another productive year!
Nederland Planning Process (NPP) Updates
More info on the NPP is available here: http://nederlandco.org/board‐of‐trustees/nederland‐planning‐process‐npp/ 
Building Code Recommendations – The recommendations of the Mayor’s Task
Force on Building Code Updates have been forwarded to Town staff and
SAFEbuilt building officials for review and comment. Planning Commission and
the BZA have reviewed the recommendations and offered comments. SAB is the
final advisory board identified for the NPP review, and is expected to undertake
their review later this month.
Page 49 of 160


o Additional information related to progressive building code policies,
energy-related codes (including those related to marijuana cultivation) has
been researched and documented, per the Board’s request.
o A schedule is being drafted to depict which updates could be addressed in
the near future and those that will take longer consideration. Legal review
will also soon commence. This item is anticipated to return to the Board in
January.
Community Center Site Plan – Review by all advisory boards was complete, as of
Oct. 15. All comments were forwarded to the project steering committee for
consideration and potential incorporation into the Plan. The committee’s final
memos and the consolidated NPP comments will be presented to the Board in
January.
Peddler/Solicitors Code – This item is under review, beginning at the DDA. The
Board’s direction was to have the DDA, SAB and Planning Commission review
the current code, seek input from the public, and issue recommendations back to
the Board this fall.

Alexander Armani-Munn, Administrative Intern
Date:
November 12, 2014
Re:
November STAR Update
The Town continues to make modest progress in STAR reporting. At the time this
memo was drafted, the Town had completed reporting on 11 actions and 5
outcomes. By the end of November, it is expected that reporting will be completed
for an additional 5-10 actions and an additional 10 outcomes. If this reporting is
completed on schedule, the Town will enter December very near its 100 point goal
for the end of 2014.
The majority of reporting continues to be administered by Town Intern Alexander
Armani-Munn; though, several advisory boards have expressed support for and an
interest in reporting data. PROSAB Chair Randy Lee and Sustainability Advisory
Board member Diana Maggiore have recently contributed data that was
instrumental in the Town’s reporting.
The Town’s strongest reporting areas are, as of now, built environment, health and
safety, and natural systems. The Town’s weakest reporting areas are climate and
energy, economy and jobs, and equity and empowerment.

Staff Report -- Public Works
DepartmentOverview
This month, the utilities and streets divisions aimed their focus on
trying to squeeze in as many projects as possible before snow and
freezing weather. Valve exercising, hydrant flushing, raw water
excavations, sign installation, and asphalt work, just to name a few,
have kept us busy. The utility crew also attended a free training
offered by the RMRWA on the workings and maintenance
techniques of pressure-reducing valves (PRVs), giving us a better
understanding of the few PRVs that exist in our own distribution
system. With the newly replaced PRVs in our system, we want to
be sure they are properly maintained. We have also begun
discussion with JVA on our needs for sludge digestion at the waste
water plant and the direction we want move to stay within
Nederland’s zero waste goals. The streets crew attended a class on
winter survival and one on drainage through Colorado LTAP
PRV training class (Local Technical Assistance Program sponsored by CU and
CDOT); these classes are all part of the Town’s commitment to
growing and improving our employees and the service they provide. Last but not least, after three
and a half years working for the Town, Chris Pelletier has received a class B water operations
certification, allowing him to take regulatory responsibility for the water plant. This achievement
allows Nederland to finally have its own in-house Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) to run
both plants by the end of the year, eliminating the need to contract that job out. It has taken several
years to develop a committed well-trained staff dedicated to making Nederland’s utilities a first class
operation.
WaterPlant
There has been a lot of progress on the lab and
bathroom this month. With rough electrical and
drywall inspections completed, we can move into the
final stages of construction. We had a visit from JVA
to inspect the future location of the Clearlogx
coagulation system and have begun ordering and

receiving various components. We also received final approval from the State to make this addition
to our filtration process, a major step towards completion of the project. Another addition we’ve
been trying to accomplish at the water plant is a new transformer to control power spikes that occur
when Eldora Ski Resort starts operations. These power spikes are very damaging to all the electric
motors at the water plant. Xcel claims it is necessary to increase power to push more amps to the end
of the line in order to provide Eldora with the power they require. Unfortunately, this has adverse
effects on the water plant. This has been an ongoing effort for a couple of years, and even though
Xcel claims to be within their specifications for voltages, they have finally agreed to fund half of the
cost of the new transformer. This is great news and we hope to move forward with this in the next
month. Also, utilities technician Nicole Bratsos has been pursuing vendors and testing out different
TOC (total organic carbon) machines, which will help us to monitor and track water quality in a way
we have never done. We will keep you updated on the viability of purchasing one in the future.
Lastly, we continue to keep up on maintenance and repairs to the filters and valves as they are
needed.
RawWaterDiversion
Another piece of the puzzle was added to the
structure this month. The pond was pumped down
and a section of pipe was excavated and installed
along with a valve. This brings us one step closer;
the last part is to connect this pipe to the infiltration
manhole and then to the pump station, and the job
will be complete. If the good weather continues, we
should be able to get more done next month.
Distribution
We pumped raw water pond and installed another section of pipe and a valve. As I said earlier, we have been busy
in the distribution system this whole
month. We hired an excavator to
lower a service line in Big Springs as
part of our efforts to prevent freezing
issues. This is part of our CIP budget
and has been an ongoing project for a
couple of years and has been very
successful. Hydrant flushing in Big

rates, pressures, added flags, exercised every valve and recorded
depth, location, and number of turns; we recorded necessary
repairs and also repaired or replaced the most damaged hydrants.
Furthermore, utilities technician Danny Pollack has loaded all

this information into an Excel spreadsheet in such a way that it can single out and track necessary
repairs much like a work order. We are in the process of replacing a pump in the Big Springs pump
house; doing this work in-house helps the town to save money and gives us a better understanding of
our distribution system. We’ve also exposed and exercised valves in preparation for a hydrant
installation at the top of West First Street. This has been a challenging job since these valves haven’t
seen daylight in 35 years. One of the valves was paved over and had to be cut out of the pavement
and extended to the surface. While looking for valves, we realized that this section of the distribution
system was still connected to the old wooden water mains from the 1960’s. We disconnected this old
pipe and added a flushing hydrant in order to flush out the line and improve water quality. We are
now prepared for the contractors to do their installation sometime next month.
Wastewater
We met with JVA last month to discuss the mixing zone study. This study is required by the State to
assess how our wastewater mixes with the creek as it enters the reservoir. The study must be done
during the creek’s lowest flows, which are generally around December. Normally, reservoir levels
are a lot lower during this time; however, reservoir levels may not drop that much this year,
complicating the study. Therefore, instead of a creek mixing zone study, it becomes a lake mixing
zone study. JVA will communicate with the State to see how they want to proceed with the process
and it may be necessary get a deadline extension.
Also, decant valves have been insulated on the SBRs (WWTP) to prevent freezing, which was a
design oversight and caused many problems last year. This hopefully will make operations much
smoother this winter. The jet truck was winterized to prevent freezing, the sludge pond was lowered
to acceptable levels, and the decant pump was removed; these are some of the other things we’ve
done to prepare for winter.
Lab testing has been another area of focus for this division. With Nicole going to school to learn
better testing techniques, we continue to expand our testing abilities and improve our processes.
Tests such as BOD (strength of waste water), TOCs (organics in the water), and phosphorus (often
found in fertilizers and have to be removed), are just some of the tests we perform regularly that
require a higher level of knowledge.
StreetsandDrainage
The last of our road base has been spread for the year on Upper Navajo Trail. It appears that the new
road base we have been using with a higher PI (plasticity index) is holding up pretty well. Adding a
binder to it in the future would extend the life of the product even further. The final three signs for
the Old Town upgrades were scheduled to be installed today. The completion of this project brings
Old Town up to MUTCD (uniform traffic code) compliance. In 2015, Big Springs will be brought up
to MUTCD compliance, along with the Sunnyside neighborhood.
After being pushed back due to flooding in 2013, the “luge run” entry at the Community Center was
finally asphalted. This was done over a two-day period, using 18 tons of asphalt and 55 gallons of
tack oil. Tack oil was applied with a rubber squeegee and then asphalt was dumped and graded out
with the motor grader, then finished with rakes and shovels. This is not the best way to lay down
asphalt, but the only way with the equipment we have. It will definitely be better than it was.
The electric vehicle charging station was installed in the Visitor Center parking lot and should be
completed by mid-week. The mid-range (dump truck) was sent down to have the leaking fuel tanks
replaced. Six hydraulic lift cylinders were sent out for repair in order to replace any leaking

cylinders that will inevitably pop up during the winter. Plows have been brought down to the shop
from storage to inspect and prepare for winter.

In September, Public Works Manager Jason Morrison completed a year-long course at the Rocky
Mountain Public Works Institute, sponsored by the American Public Works Association. This class
met once a month for 12 months and was a great refresher and overview of all the hats that can be
worn by the members of a public works department. Nederland represented the smallest municipality
in the entire program. The first nine classes focused mainly on management, customer service and
administration. One of the most interesting things I learned in these classes was the differences in
generations, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials. All of these generations are currently
working within the public works field and understanding of these generational differences helps in
communications and working relationships with each of them.
The tenth class dealt with public works operations, a lot to cover in one class. More or less this part
was just a quick overview of all aspects of public works for those people in the class who may only
deal with a single aspect of a department; for example, a person who may only deal with road signs
has no real idea what a person in a wastewater plant may do. The final two classes were class
presentations, the first was individual presentations of a specific topic to the class and answering
questions pertaining to that subject – mine was the “Human Equation and its Role in Public Works”.
These had to be a 10-minute presentation, which does not sound like a lot, but it was for a person
who is working on their public speaking skills. The final presentation was a group presentation to a
mock board. This presentation was regarding a charter proposing the merger of a sanitation district
into a public works department. This presentation needed to show the pros and cons of a merger such
as this, and presenting to a mock board gave the group instant feedback and required solid
knowledge of the item being presented. This presentation taught me a lot about the governmental
process but also required me to be a confident public speaker.

Lastly, two weeks after the class began we had the floods of 2013. When we met in October, the
class was like nothing I had ever seen. People from all over the state came together and reached out
to each other for help and to help others. This allowed Nederland to make connections with larger
municipalities to secure needed material and opened the door for Nederland to extend whatever
resources we could to help other municipalities. The connections made in this class will prove to be
very beneficial in the future and were only made stronger by the situation that brought us all
together.

Boulder B-Cycle – Gazillion Reasons Why the Nederland EcoPass is So Cool
– Part 5
NederMayor Blog – November 18, 2014
By Mayor Joe Gierlach
I took the opportunity to try out Boulder B-cycle
as part of the "Gazillion Reasons Why the
Nederland EcoPass is So Cool" program series.
The Ned RTD EcoPass is Free for any resident in
the Greater Nederland Area within Boulder
County. [see details here] The "Gazillion Reason"
series is my experiment to intentionally increase
my personal use of the Nederland EcoPass in
order to explore practical tips and tricks.
A
s far as the B-cycle goes, at first I
thought, "What's the point in using the
B-cycle when it basically goes to other
places that RTD goes anyway?"
You'll have to read the story all the way through,
because I found that the answer has something to
do with my progress through earlier phases of the "Gazillion Reasons" experiment. Let's explore the first
4 phases:
Phase I – DIA: From a money-saving standpoint, the easiest use of the Ned EcoPass, is to take the N
Bus down to Walnut Station in Boulder, then take the AB Bus to DIA Airport and save the gas, parking
fees, etc.
Considering that I was already planning to arrive at the airport two hours before my flight, the process of
packing my luggage, and trip planning in general, almost ensured an easy transition to RTD planning.
Saving money felt good. Then, I thought, "That was great for me and the planet. What else can I use the
Ned EcoPass for?"
Page 62 of 160
Phase II – Low Risk: The next logical step, is to take the kids on the N Bus down to Walnut Station,
and walk across the street to the Boulder Farmer's Market on a Saturday afternoon. This is low risk.
There is no complicated transfer to second bus schedules. I don't have to worry about being late for
work. The return trip is easily before the last N Bus back up to Nederland, so there's no risk in getting
stuck in Boulder. Kids love the bus ride.
[Related Story: Nederland EcoPass Success]
Phase III – Transfers: Single trips down to Boulder to meet people on Pearl Street was so rewarding,
that I began exploring single-transfer rides. By this time, the whole notion of saving gas money, less
carbon in the atmosphere, and now a little bit more exercise walking, was just a win-win-win, all the
way around.
In practice, it took a bit more pre-planning than I thought, especially if there was a risk in being late. I
tried using an iPhone App, but it still didn't remove the uncertainty.
Phase IV – Bring the Bike: Eventually, I tired of going through the brain damage of pre-planning, so I
experimented with taking my bike down to the free day at the Denver Art Museum (every first Saturday
is free at DAM).
At the most basic level, it reminded me of the freedom I felt as a middle-school kid, cruising around
meeting my friends. Even at slow speeds, bikes are about 4 times faster than walking. So biking for 10
minutes, can get you to the same place as walking for 40 minutes – Big Difference.
The downside to biking, was being tethered to your bike. Putting your bike on the front rack of the bus
(or underneath if you are not the lucky first two bike riders). Then, putting your bike on the next bus to
Denver, and not being able to take the 16th Street Mall Shuttle. If you meet a friend who offers a ride, so
then you have to lock your bike over night, and figure out how to get it later.
[Related Story: 5 Reasons the EcoPass is Important to our Community Resiliency]
Phase V – B-cycle: So, seeing the B-cycle adjacent to bus stops looked intriguing, but I thought,
"What's the point in using the B-cycle when it basically goes to other places that RTD goes anyway?"
Just so people know how it works, here is an interesting video from Boulder Daily Camera's Ryan Van
Duzer (AKA 'Out There Guy') cruising around town in 2011 back when B-cycle was Boulder's new bike
share program. He interviews Elizabeth Train about how it works, when she was executive director of
Boulder B-cycle.
Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHR30F0cNtE
Since then, James Waddell has transferred from the Denver B-cycle program to become the Boulder BCycle Executive Director.

These cruisers are fun to ride. There's no hassle,
the bikes are maintained by other people. The
front basket is super convenient. The chain guard
protects your pants from oil (and the skirt guard,
which I didn't realize was an issue, but now see
as a brilliant idea). The adjustable seat is easypeasy to modify.
The big benefit for me, is that it takes a lot of preplanning off my mind. As long as I'm in the
central Boulder area, I can pretty much expect a
B-cycle station to be near by. The B-cycle iPhone
App makes it even more convenient. It shows me
the closest B-cycle Station with how many docks
and bikes are available.
Maybe I just lucked-out on the timing, because
Boulder B-cycle added several new stations this
year, and now they have 38 stations. Perhaps only a few months ago, when there were 22 stations, it
wasn't so convenient, and I would have had to do more pre-planning. Now it seems the stations are
disbursed all around central Boulder.
It was so much fun, that I couldn't wait to run an errand in
Boulder, just to ride the bike. So, I decided to take "Le Tour de
Boulder B-cycle Challenge", which is to ride to every Bcycle Station in one day. Definitely something I would have
wanted to attempt in middle school.
Thirty-Four miles, and four and a half hours of biking time
later, I made it onto the "Wall of Fame" for the Tour de Bcycle. [check out the wall here]
Doing the Tour de B-cycle taught me where every B-cycle location
is, so that I know where to check-in or check-out a bike just about
anywhere in Boulder.
Boulder B-cycle is definitely one of the "Gazillion Reasons Why the Nederland EcoPass is So Cool."

What is the IMA?
Why is the IMA Important?
The Inter-Mountain Alliance is a collective of
representatives from a growing number of Boulder
County mountain communities. Founded in 2010
by victim’s advocate Rebecca Lawrence of Ward
in the wake of the Four Mile Fire, the mission of
the IMA is “To foster relationships between the
mountain communities of Western Boulder County
and support individual and community emergency
preparedness.” With no formal structure, the
organization remains flexible and adaptable to
address member communities’ needs.
Many residents of Boulder County’s mountain
communities identify so strongly with their
mountain environment, that they will suffer in
need before traveling to Boulder or Longmont for
needed services and resources. In a time of need,
these mountain residents are far more likely to avail
themselves of resources in a neighboring mountain
community than to seek help on the flatlands,
whether that need is for emergency shelter, disaster
recovery assistance or human services. The IMA
supports the well-being of these residents and their
communities in multiple ways:
Taking the “neighbors helping neighbors”
principle to the higher level of “communities
helping communities,” IMA communities share
solutions to problems held in common – initially
centered around emergency preparedness (what
did we learn from the Four Mile Fire, how can
we be better prepared for the next one?), but
expanded to encompass human services and other
shared concerns. The IMA has been particularly
effective in creating a collective voice for mountain
communities to connect with government and NGO
resources; representatives from federal, state and
county agencies are regularly in attendance, along
with the American Red Cross, Foothills United Way
and Boulder County Emergency Radio Services
(BCARES).
A Collective Voice – The combined voice of
mountain residents, as expressed through the IMA,
has gotten the attention of elected representatives
at all levels, local, state and federal agencies and
NGOs who have found the Alliance to be an effective
way to communicate with hard-to-reach mountain
residents and have become more aware of those
residents’ needs and concerns.
Rebecca Lawrence,
IMA Founder
Strengthened Community Relationships – As
member communities prepare for their own needs,
they increasingly expand their focus to include
their neighbors. Examples include the Nederland
Health and Human Services Task Force becoming
the Peak to Peak Housing and Human Services Task
Force and organizers of successful neighborhood
pod systems, ham radio networks or Saws and
Slaws wildfire mitigation programs sharing their
experiences with other mountain communities.
Increased Preparedness – The IMA’s initial focus
on emergency preparedness, response and recovery
continues to be a major driver of Alliance efforts.
The Alliance offers a convenient focal point for
distributing emergency supplies and equipment
(American Red Cross), distributing information
(FEMA, Boulder County OEM, Boulder County
Long-Term Flood Recovery Group) and intercommunity disaster response coordination.
Real-Time Communication – In the September 2013
flooding, inter-community communications were
critical, as IMA member communications helped
keep the Boulder Office of Emergency Management
(Boulder OEM) informed about the latest conditions
in the field.
Community Empowerment – Self-reliance is a
quality that typifies many mountain residents, and
a community prepared to weather the first days
of a disaster without outside aid is a community
empowered to survive adversity.
What has the IMA Accomplished?
• Beyond the unquantifiable benefits of
forging inter-community relationships, mutually
strengthening community emergency preparedness
capabilities, opening up access to resources for
mountain communities and increasing awareness
of mountain community needs among governmental
agencies, the Alliance can point to some concrete
influences, such as:
• Providing an environment where the Mountain
Emergency Radio Network (MERN) could flourish,
first in Bar-K, Allenspark and Ward, more recently
in Gold Hill, and now Nederland. MERN is credited
with saving lives in the 2013 flooding.
• Inspiring the creation of effective neighborhood
emergency communications networks (pod systems)
in Gold Hill and Allenspark, with pod system
planning underway in Nederland
• Formation of the Allenspark Neighbors
Emergency Network (ANEN)
• Establishment of the Nederland Emergency
Preparedness Action Committee (EPAC)

AGENDA ITEM: Review of 2015 Draft Budget and Fee Schedule
SUMMARY:
The Board of Trustees has met with Town staff on three occasions to review the
2015 draft Budget. In the last meeting on October 28, 2014, the Board of Trustees
reviewed all fees and changes to the fee schedule. Based on these discussions, the
following draft budget and fee schedule is included in this packet for final review.
Unless there are any changes, resolutions will be prepared based on the attached
for the December 2, 2014 meeting.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. 2015 Draft Budget
2. CIP Schedule
3. 2015 Fee Schedule
The 2015 Draft Budget provides an estimate of revenue and expenditures for 2015.
The 2015 Draft Budget generally provides for a breakeven scenario where operating
expenses are supported by ongoing revenues, however, for capital expenditures,
most funds utilize reserves and/or grants.
The use of reserves includes:
-
$28,589 from the General Fund reserves to help finance engineering and
design of a public works center
48,722 from the Community Center Fund to assist in financing a full building
generator and deal with drainage issues at the Community Center site.
These funds would provide match to grants the Town has applied for.

Prepared By:

Dept:

Information______ Discussion_______ Action___ X ___
AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of sign proposal request re: Nederland Middle Senior High School sign on
Town-owned property.
SUMMARY:
Attached for the Board’s consideration is an application for a sign permit to locate an
entry feature sign on Town-owned land at the south end of the Visitor Center parking lot
(2 W. 1st St., Lot 10 Less Pt to Hwy Blk 5 Nederland & 1/2 Vac Street on East & Lot 9 Less Pt to
Hwy), where banners have often been hung. If the Board wishes to approve the sign
location, it could direct Town staff to draft a facility use agreement to this effect for
approval on Consent Agenda at its Dec. 2 meeting.
The sign is proposed as a freestanding, hanging 7-foot by 4-foot wood-crafted piece bolted
to a beetle kill pine set of posts (similar to the anchoring of the Community Center entry
sign). The tallest post is 12 feet (consistent with code limits of 15 feet maximum height).
The 6-foot panther accent piece is aluminum. The proposed sign size is compliant with
Town code requirements (32-square foot limit). All pieces will be reviewed by SAFEbuilt
for compliance with building safety codes. Any illumination would be indirect lighting,
compliant with Town code.
NMSHS Adam Fels will be in attendance on Nov. 18 to answer any questions of the Board.
QUESTION BEFORE THE BOARD:
1) Does the Board wish to approve the use of the Town-owned property for placement
of the proposed sign?
ATTACHMENTS:
1) Rendering of the proposed sign
2) Photos of proposed site
If the Town seeks to charge for the location of the sign, it may. Otherwise, all costs of
design, construction, permitting and installation will be borne by the school.

AGENDA ITEM:
PROSAB charter revision to allow for alternate members
SUMMARY:
The Nederland Parks, Recreation and Open Space Advisory Board requests a
revision to its charter to allow for the appointment of up to two alternate members
to the Board. The active schedules of some current Board members have resulted in
meetings that lacked a quorum or adequate members to effectively address
scheduled business. Alternate members would be expected to participate fully in the
work of the Board, except would only be allowed to vote in the absence of regular
members. (The determination of which alternate member would be allowed to vote
in a situation where there were two alternates present and one regular member
absent will be made in the PROSAB bylaws).
None
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve Resolution 2014-28
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Don’t approve the resolution
2. Approve the resolution with changes
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Resolution 2014-28, amending the constitution of the Parks, Recreation and

Minutes
_________________________________________________________________________________
A. CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Cornell called the meeting to order at 7:02 pm.
B. ROLL CALL
Present: Chairman Roger Cornell, Vice Chairman Steve Williams, Commissioners
Timmy Duggan, Stephanie Herring, Betty Porter, and Trustee Liaison Topher Donahue
Applications for Planning Commission in order of submission.
Chairman Cornell clarified that all applications will be forwarded to the BOT, however
the Commission intends to recommend 2 applicants for the vacant seats, thus each
applicant was voted upon in a separate motion.
1. Planning Commission new member application for Greg Guevara
Greg Guevara, Assistant Principal of Nederland Middle/Senior High School, said he has
been a town resident for 6 years, during which time he served on the Steering
Committee for the Envision 2020 process. He also served on the Teens, Inc. board
member, and serving as President in 2013. He said he is seeking appointment upon the
Planning Commission which falls in line with his community interests.
Chairman Cornell opened the meeting to Commission questions.
Commissioner Porter asked where Guevara thinks the vision of town needs to go based
on his Teens, Inc. experience. Guevara said his vision is for a prosperous, healthy
community where established residents, new families and seniors can thrive.
2. Planning Commission new member application for Jesse Seavers
Jesse Seavers of Nederland, said he served as the previous Sustainability Advisory
Board (SAB) Chairman, and is currently a SAB board member. He said he’d like more
influence on plans implementation and fulfillment as a Planning Commission member,
with a focus and expertise in sustainability.
Commissioner Herring asked Seavers what he felt were important issues that came
Page 125 of 160
before the SAB. Seavers said that the Eco-Pass required working with former SAB
members to bring to realization, as well as the zero-waste resolution, which he worked
on in conjunction with Boulder County, and presented to the BOT.
Commissioner Duggan asked Seavers about his vision of sustainability as it pertains to
new developments, Vision 2020 and the Comprehensive Plan. Seavers said that despite
facing global challenges, a sustainability framework can provide elegant solutions to
global issues that align with Nederland’s tradition of independence and robustness, and
application of this thinking can honor’s America’s industrious roots while caring for the
planet and humanity. Seavers said that we want to ask the primary question of
whether new development is leading to outside dependence for Nederland or creating
more independence for the town.
Vice Chairman Williams asked Seavers what stood out when reading the
Comprehensive Plan. Seavers said that sustainability elements (to include the nested
model of sustainability) were well woven throughout the Comp Plan, and he
incidentally scored the plan highly on the sustainability scorecard.
3. Planning Commission new member application for Bill Allen
Chairman Cornell said that the meeting falls upon Bill Allen’s birthday, thus he will
not be in attendance. Cornell referenced Allen’s application within the packet and
spoke to his past Trustee and Library Board experience.
Chairman Cornell opened up board discussion regarding applicants.
Commissioner Porter said she served as a Trustee along with Allen, and though they
didn’t always agree, his sound reasoning and presentation was evident. Thus, Porter
said she’s inclined to favor Allen, and Guevara due to his background.
Vice Chairman Williams reiterated his similar feeling about Allen, though was unsure
of his other recommendation.
Chairman Cornell said he has worked with Allen, and recruited him for the position on
the Commission, and gave brief highlights on the benefits of Allen. He noted that
Guevara’s position at the school can provide valuable insight. Chairman Cornell cited
the relevance of sustainability, though said the Comp Plan also deals with zoning and
regulations for the town, which he feels was given short shrift. He noted that if Seavers
moves to the PC, a vacancy will be created upon the SAB.
Commissioner Duggan inquired if Seavers is able to serve concurrently on both boards.
Reis clarified that the code promotes diversity by discouraging service on the Planning
Commission alongside another board, but does not outright prohibit double-duty.
Commissioner Herring noted that Guevara has a connection and a consciousness about
the community’s youth, which dovetails well with planning goals for the future. She
said she appreciates Seavers’ work on various plans, and his sustainability perspective.
Because she doesn’t know Allen, Herring said she would support Guevara and Seavers.
Page 126 of 160
Commissioner Duggan said that he is impressed with Allen’s involvement and regard
within the community as a longtime resident. Duggan said he agrees with Herring’s
statement about Guevara’s investment in the community’s youth. He cited Seavers’
unique sustainability perspective which can increase the commission’s diversity and
expertise. Duggan said he’d support Allen and Seavers for the positions.
Trustee Donahue recognized the challenge of choosing between 3 viable applicants for 2
positions. Donahue listed his individual concerns about candidates first, and then
spoke to favorable aspects of each applicant. He noted Guevara’s focus on youth,
Seavers’ enthusiasm, and Allen’s experience as benefits. He said it’s important to bring
new members onto boards, and would thus support Guevara and Seavers.
Vice Chairman Williams inquired if there is an orientation for new members. Reis said
an orientation has been discussed to familiarize new applicants with their purview,
which can be undertaken at the work session tentatively set for December 3.
Trustee Liaison Donahue stated that he shared his perspective within the discussion,
but will reserve his vote for the Board of Trustees, unless needed to break a tie. Reis
clarified that he is able to vote twice, though Donahue preferred to abstain.
Motion to recommend Greg Guevara for the Planning Commission made by
Commissioner Porter, seconded by Vice Chairman Williams, with 4 in favor and
Commissioner Duggan opposed.
Motion to recommend Jesse Seavers for the Planning Commission made by
Commissioner Duggan, seconded by Commissioner Herring, with 2 in favor and
Chairman Cornell, Vice Chairman Williams, and Commissioner Porter opposed.
Motion to recommend Bill Allen for the Planning Commission made by Vice Chairman
Williams, seconded by Commissioner Porter, with 4 in favor, and Commissioner
Herring opposed.
C. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM September 24, 2014
Motion to approve September minutes made by Commissioner Porter, seconded by
Commissioner Herring, with unanimous voice vote.
D. PUBLIC COMMENT
There was no public comment.
E. INFORMATION ITEMS
Reis said that the annual Volunteer Appreciation Party will be held on December 11
from 5-7 pm at the Community Center.

AGENDA ITEM:
Introduction of Noxious Weed Management Plan
SUMMARY:
Attached for the Board’s discussion is the draft Noxious Weed Management Plan
offered by the Sustainability Advisory Board, on behalf of the Nederland Noxious
Weed Committee, a subcommittee of SAB, including members of SAB, PROSAB,
NDDA, TEENS Inc. and local botanists and plant experts. Members of the group
will be present to present the plan and answer questions.
Contained in the plan are educational recommendations, details of a weed inventory
conducted with grant funds secured earlier this year, and recommendations for
weed management.
Two species are designated for eradication and several others for suppression in
Nederland. The plan cites Town code related to weed management, indicating the
methods of notification, property owner control, and if necessary, code enforcement
response. Town staff recommends a robust campaign of public education prior to
enacting code enforcement measures, to best let the public know what is expected of
them, given that this legislation has been long dormant.
The Board approved application for grant funds earlier this year to support a
project for weed control, mapping and public outreach. The Nederland Noxious
Weed Committee worked on the project and coordinated volunteer labor, to match
the grant funds.
The Board on July 27, 1999 adopted the Town of Nederland Noxious Weed
Management Plan, and approved the appointment of a weed management advisory
committee.
Page 128 of 160
According to the Municipal Code, “the Board of Trustees is appointed to act as the
Undesirable Plant Management Advisory Commission for the Town and shall have
the duties and responsibilities as provided by state statute” (Sec. 7-71). State law
governs the identification and requirements for management of noxious weeds.
The Board on July 6, 1948 adopted Ordinance 84, identifying nuisances within the
town, including noxious weeds.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Colorado Noxious Weed Act
Several species of invasive non-native plants have become a threat to the economic and
environmental land value in Nederland, Colorado. These plants are not indigenous to North
America and have no natural predators or diseases to keep their populations in balance with the
ecosystem. Invasive non-native plants rapidly displace native vegetation, disrupt hydrologic
processes, alter soil chemistry, and disturb the native ecosystem stability and diversity, while
negatively affecting environmental and recreational resources. The Colorado State Department
of Agriculture has mandated that “a countywide plan must be implemented by every county to
prevent further damage by these noxious weed species” pursuant to The Colorado Noxious
Weed Act, C.R.S. §35-5.5-101, et seq. (“The ACT”), and the Rules Pertaining to the
Administration and Enforcement of the Colorado Noxious Weed Act, §§ 8 C.C.R. 1206-2 (“The
RULES”). The noxious weeds are categorized into three lists based on priority for management
in Colorado:
●
List A noxious weeds are newly arrived and/or less common in Colorado and are
designated for eradication from all lands in the State. It is a violation of the Act to allow any
List A species to produce seed or develop other reproductive means such as roots, shoots
and runners. The Rules allow the local governing authority to file for a compliance waiver if
it is determined that eradication is not a practical management objective for specific
populations.
●
List B noxious weeds may be designated for eradication, containment, or suppression,
depending on the extent of their presence. This Plan is designed to stop the continued
spread of List B species, making it a violation to allow any List B species to spread to
uninfested areas.
●
List C noxious weeds are widespread or well-established noxious weeds for which local
governments have authority to decide the management strategy. This Plan recommends
but does not require control methods to stop the spread of list C species to uninfested
areas.
●
Watch List - non-native plant species not known to exist in the Colorado, but have been
recognized as noxious or problematic by another state in the region, and require careful
observation. The Watch List is serves advisory and educational purposes only, to
encourage identification and reporting should these species appear on Colorado lands.
The Nederland Noxious Weed Management Plan
The Nederland Sustainability Advisory Board has appointed the Nederland Noxious Weed
Committee, and has resolved to adopt this Nederland Noxious Weed Management Plan
(“WMP”) for the purpose of fulfilling its responsibilities with respect to The Act and The Rules
and managing the land within Nederland town limits with respect to noxious weeds.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
*DRAFT *
page 3 of 32
Page 132 of 160
The objectives of this Nederland WMP are to:
●
Educate and Communicate with the Public: This document serves as a weed control
manual for Nederland landowners. It provides guidelines and training about the CO
Noxious Weed Law, identification of noxious weed species, integrated weed management
practices, prevention, control and disposal methods. It aims to raise awareness, improve
communication, and foster a spirit of cooperation among landowners on the noxious weed
issue.
●
Prevent the spread of noxious weed infestation in and around Nederland: This
document shall provide the town of Nederland with guidelines regarding inventorying,
mapping, monitoring, evaluating, early detection, reporting and rapid response to noxious
weed problem areas as well as guidelines for enforcement of Nederland weed ordinances
where necessary.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• • • •
II. PUBLIC EDUCATION
Education is essential to the sustainable success of this Plan. The Noxious Weed Committee will
reach out to Nederland residents through community weed pull events, educational workshops,
informational booths, private consultations, town website, informational brochures, posters, social
media, and newspaper articles. Groups targeted for public education include those with
agricultural interests, homeowners, landowners, developers, recreational groups, youth groups
and schools. Subject areas will include: the definition of “noxious weed”, why noxious weeds are a
problem; State and Local laws, compliance with “The ACT” and “The RULES,” noxious weed
species identification, best recommended Integrated Weed Management Practices including
prevention, control, removal, and disposal methods. Public announcements and noxious weed
information can be found at:

III. NEDERLAND’s STATEMENT OF THE
NOXIOUS WEED PROBLEM
Diversity Sacrificed for Monoculture
The health of Nederland’s natural environment is clearly a high priority of residents of Nederland,
CO, as specified in Envision 2020. Yet the health and productivity of our ecological systems are
being threatened as invasive non-native weeds are introduced to Nederland on personal
automobiles, shoes of hikers, bike tires, animal fur, infested construction equipment, contaminated
fill, and the like. Once these weeds take hold infesting one site, their seeds blow to uninfested lands
exacerbating the problem. Moreover, weed seeds can be viable in the soil for decades. Non-native
invasive plants can crowd out desirable native vegetation, reducing the diversity and quantity of
native plants, threatening rare plants and animals and their habitats, reducing water supply, and
altering the ecosystem processes and functions.
native stand of wildflowers with a
small population of oxeye daisy.
Photo 1: A
Photo 2: Same
site, a few years later.
As the photographs illustrate, noxious weeds can dramatically reduce native species diversity. In
Photo 1, before the noxious weed infestation, there are many different species of plants providing
specialized nectar and food sources for a wide variety of native pollinators and other animals. In
Photo 2, after the infestation, many of these species become crowded out into a monoculture or
near-monoculture of noxious weeds which provide few or no ecosystem services. Native wildflowers
such as Colorado Blue Columbine, our state flower, cannot compete with aggressive, invasive plants
for nutrients, sunlight, and water. As a result, our biologically diverse mountain meadows,
grasslands, and wetlands are in danger of being overrun by monocultures of non-native species.
To date, noxious weeds have displaced at least 10% of Colorado’s native plant species and have
severely degraded important native plant communities that provide essential habitat to more than
85% of Colorado’s wildlife species. Much of Nederland is infested with weeds. Experts in weed
science estimate that the current populations increase 15 percent annually if no control measures

are imposed. Nederland is considered to be the the Gateway to the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area
with tens of thousands of visitors each year. If Noxious Weeds are left untreated, millions of acres of
adjacent National Forest and National Park lands become threatened. Without an integrated weed
management program, aggressive invasive species will continue to infest and degrade the lands that
we value so highly.
What is a “noxious weed” anyway?
A “weed” is any plant growing where you don’t want it to. A “noxious weed” is a legal and regulatory
definition for a non-native, invasive, ecologically damaging plant that did not exist in the United
States prior to human settlement. Colorado’s native grasses and wildflowers evolved over millions of
years to fill unique ecological niches, and have insects and diseases keep them in balance. The
invasive noxious weeds that this plan targets were originally imported to the United States for their
ornamental beauty, aggressive growth habits, xeriscape potential, or re-seeding capabilities.
However, the very aggressive growth traits which made these plants desirable for a garden or
landscape have enabled them to thrive outside cultivated areas and become fierce competitors with
our native vegetation. Lacking environmental controls and natural predators, they have escaped
cultivation and become aggressive invaders of wildlands, open space, housing subdivisions,
municipal areas, private property, and roadsides.
Why should Nederland care?
Some people believe that nature will “heal itself” and that as new plants come in, a new, more
“resilient” ecosystem will be born. While it is true that weeds can cause a plant community shift, it is
usually into a far more depauperate (less biodiverse) one. The idea that the planet will heal itself is
not much more than wishful thinking. Humans created the problem. Therefore it is our duty to try to
mitigate some of our effects. It’s called stewardship. Being a good steward is realizing that there is
harm being done, and thereby working to prevent further harm. If noxious weeds were simply
pioneer species “doing their job” to fill in disturbed areas, there wouldn’t be a problem with them
displacing wildlife and dominating an area that once held a mix of native species. Residents of
Nederland have clearly voiced interest in preserving the health of the natural ecosystem. We do not
want to live in a world without Indian paintbrush, columbines, hummingbirds or other species which
give us so much joy. It is our love for our ecosystem that compels us to act.

IV. INVENTORYING / MAPPING
The primary objective of weed inventorying and mapping is to identify which species of noxious
weeds are currently present within the Town and to accurately locate where these populations of
unwanted plants occur. This information could potentially used by the Town or other partners in
order to:
●
predict those areas potentially subject to weed invasion
●
develop and evaluate the effectiveness of any weed control methodologies
●
increase public awareness, education, and weed management efforts
●
help target high priority areas for weed management
Data on existing populations is gathered from roadside vehicular surveys and local organizations
conducting weed control within the town. This information is digitized into Geographic Information
System (GIS) database maps. All current GIS shapefiles are kept on file by the Town. Updates to
the mapping occurs on an as-needed basis and when funding is available. The focus of the
mapping includes Town owned properties and along road Right-of-Ways. The extent of noxious
weeds populations on private land is not fully investigated.
2014 Inventory Results:
Existing populations of List A and List B Noxious Weeds were mapped and digitized in 2014. The
results of the 2014 mapping show that the entire Town is infested by scentless chamomile, a List B
species. This annual plant was observed to be blooming from early summer well into autumn.
Other common List B weeds include Canada Thistle and Musk Thistle which occur sporadically
throughout the town. Canada Thistle tends to especially problematic in riparian habitats and moist
meadows. Knapweed, another bothersome List B species, occurs around Barker Reservoir, behind
the Nederland Community Center and the adjacent Hwy 72, and on Rollinsville Road, across from
the turnoff to the Town of Eldora, and along Wildwood Drive adjacent to U.S Forest Service lands.
Common Tansy occurs a the entrance to Nederland, near the traffic circle, and is found sporadically
in downtown Nederland and Old Town. Toadflax and Wild Caraway occur along Barker Reservoir
just east of the Town’s sewage treatment system and Toadflax is additional found sporadically in
residential areas. Dame’s Rocket, Houndstongue, Scotch Thistle and Ox-eye Daisy, although
present, appear to be at relative low levels within the Town. The only List A weed observed include
Myrtle Spurge, which was found in the Sunnyside neighborhood. List C Noxious Weeds observed,
but not included in the 2014 mapping, include Field Bindweed, Mullein, Burdock, and Cheatgrass.
A complete list of weeds as well as descriptions and recommended control methods is found in the
Nederland’s Noxious Weed List chapter of this Weed Management Plan.

V. TREATMENT and DISPOSAL METHODS
INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT
It is understood that rather than a single treatment method, we must implement a well-thought-out
package of management techniques that will complement each other and together weaken
existing stands of noxious weeds, prevent their spread, and gradually reduce their numbers.
Proper timing will be critical to ensure that the various treatment methods will work together,
rather than against each other. Since weed seeds can remain viable in the soil for decades,
integrated weed management must be seen as a long term commitment, regardless of treatment
choice. Treatment methods specified for specific weeds in this Plan include, but are not limited to:
●
Prevention - Prevention is a vital part of any successful weed management plan and
critical to keeping future costs down. Methods include: educating Nederland residents
about Noxious Weeds and least toxic control practices. Monitoring vigilantly and
eradicating small, new infestations. Using only certified weed-free seed, manure and hay.
Obtaining gravel, fill dirt, soil, and mulch from weed-free sources. Minimizing soil
disturbance caused by water, vehicles, or machinery. Observing good land management
practices such as water conservation, erosion control, and revegetation with native plants
after removing noxious weeds. Frequent monitoring and mapping of noxious weeds to
quickly locate any new infestations.
●
Mechanical Control- methodologies or management practices that physically disrupt
plant growth, including tilling, mowing, burning, mulching, hand-pulling, hoeing, grazing,
and removing flowers or seed heads.
●
Cultural Control / Restoration - methodologies or management practices that favor the
growth of desirable native plants to compete with noxious weeds, including maintaining an
optimum fertility and plant moisture status in an area, planting at optimum density and
spatial arrangement in an area, and planting species most suited to an area.
●
Biological Control - the use of organisms or natural predators (such as insects, mites, or
diseases which feed only on specific noxious weeds) to disrupt the growth of noxious
weeds. Bio-control agents are not allowed for use on species designated for eradication.
Note that there are limited to no effective biological controls in the mountains and many
weeds have no established bio-controls to date.
●
Chemical Control - the use of herbicides or plant growth regulators to disrupt the growth
of noxious weeds. - use only as a last resort. Communication with neighbors,
consideration for individuals with chemical sensitivities, and proximity to waterways,
wildlife and gardens must be taken into consideration before the decision to use herbicides
is finalized. If chemical means are going to be used, adequate signage, application rates
and personal safety precautions are to be strictly adhered to. Note that many herbicides
require certification training in order to use them. For proper chemical selection and
application rates, refer to Fact Sheets for specific weed species provided by The CO
Deptartment of Agriculture: www.colorado.gov/ag/weeds. It should be noted that in certain
cases, a limited use of a herbicide may be the only way to effectively control a certain

noxious weed species. In the absence of such effective control, the species will continue
to spread infesting more land and eventually requiring more control that will end up being
more costly in the long-run.
●
Disposal - Option 1: Decompose - Ideally, pull or mow noxious weeds before they flower
so they can be left on the ground to decompose naturally, unless management methods
for individual species warn against repropagation of plant parts. Option 2: Landfill Flowers, seeds, or other propagules can be placed in sealed 3.0 mil plastic bags
(“contractor” type) and disposed in a solid waste landfill which covers refuse daily with six
inches of soil or alternative material. Option 3: Commercial Compost - Noxious weeds can
be composted in sealed compostable bags at a commercial facility that accepts noxious
weeds, and monitors and assures temperatures attain greater than 131 degrees
Fahrenheit for 15 days. Warnings: Attempts should not be made to compost noxious
weeds at home, as minimum required temperatures are not likely to be attained. Attempts
should not be made to burn noxious weeds at home due to fire risk.

MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES
The noxious weed species listed in this WMP have been identified by the Nederland Noxious Weed
Committee to be present within Nederland town limits, to be undesirable as per the Act and Rules,
and are hereby designated by the following prioritized management objectives:
●
●
●
Eradicate - remove the reproductive portions of noxious weed species or specified noxious
weed populations in largely uninfested areas to zero and/or permanently eliminate the
species or populations within a specified period of time.
Contain - maintain an intensively managed buffer zone that separates infested regions
where suppression activities prevail, from largely uninfested regions where eradication
activities prevail.
Suppress - reduce the vigor of weed populations within an infested region, decrease the
propensity of noxious weed species to spread to surrounding lands, and mitigate the
negative effects of noxious weed populations on infested lands.
Use the descriptions that follow to aid in identification, planning and implementation of an integrated
management program for Nederland’s noxious weeds, with the purpose of achieving specified
management objectives and promoting desirable plant communities, while choosing the least toxic
options wherever possible. For more information on integrated managment plans, refer to Fact
Sheets for specific weed species provided by The CO Deptartment of Agriculture:

flavor. Irritates mucous membranes of livestock.
BLOOMS: Annual. Flowers early summer until frost.
REPRODUCES: only by seed
CONTROL METHODS:
Mechanical: Hand pulling can prevent spread into new areas and
effective on small infestations. If pulled before flowering, can be left
on ground to decompose, otherwise, must be bagged and disposed.
Aim to exhaust the seed bank. Frequent, shallow tillage can help
exhaust the seed bank. Mowing is not an effective long-term control
method due to the fact the plant will grow prostate and bloom.
However, in the short-term mowing will assist with limiting seed
production.

plant.
CONTROL METHODS:
Mechanical: Hand-pullable, best controlled in the rosette stage by
severing its taproot 1-2 inches below the ground.
Chemical and Cultural integrated management: One integrated
approach to Scotch thistle management involves 1) incorporate
livestock grazing to increase grass vigor and reduce bare ground; 2)
spray rosettes with herbicide; 3) re-seed treated ground with
competitive desirable plants in the fall after spraying. Suggested
alternatives: Rocky Mountain Bee Plant, Purple Coneflower
(Echinacea), Garden Phlox; 4) follow-up with spot cutting of entire
plants when first flowers appear annually for several years to deplete
the seed bank in the soil.

easily. At this stage, place plastic bag carefully over the mature plant,
close tightly around the stem and hand-pull without accidentally
spreading seed. Bag and dispose of flowers or seeds. Aim to exhaust
the seed bank. Tilling can be effective because this plant is sensitive
to root disturbance. Mowing is not an effective long-term control
method due to the fact the plant will grow prostate and bloom.

authority, by utilizing those procedures set forth in the Nederland Weed and Brush Ordinance
(Chapter 7, Article 1 §7.1-7.30 and Article IV §7.71-7.90).
Enforcement will be prioritized according to the management objectives designated in this Plan.
In summary: Eradication of List A and List B species designated for eradication shall be strictly
enforced. Containment or Suppression of List B species shall be enforced. Suppression of List C
and Nuisance Weeds shall be recommended but not required. The authorized inspector shall notify
the owner or occupant in writing requiring removal and abatement of the noxious weed in a
specified time frame. Failure to comply can result in summons to Municipal Court, charging the
property owner the actual costs of abatement and collection, plus fifteen percent (15%) of the
abatement costs, and other additional administrative costs.

VIII. CONCLUSION
Proper noxious weed identification, monitoring, and integrated management practices are the most
important steps to reducing or eradicating infestations. Remember, not all techniques will work in
all situations. If we are diligent in our efforts, we will protect our lands for the enjoyment of future
generations.
What You Can Do to Help
●
Familiarize yourself with the identification of noxious weeds and native plants in your area.
●
Communicate, educate, and cooperate with neighboring landowners to identify the extent
●
of noxious weed populations and generate solutions for mitigation.
Use a combination of control methods for noxious weeds including prevention, mechanical,
and restoration, as per the suggestions of this Plan. Use chemicals only as a last resort,
●
and only after notification/approval with neighbors.
Ensure that revegetation with native plants is part of your control methodology, or your
efforts will be lost to the competitive nature of these extremely aggressive weeds.
●
Be patient and diligent! You may have to repeat some methodologies for several
●
Volunteer in a community weed pull
successive years to achieve desired results..
Thank you for caring about our natural environment and taking proactive measures to maintain the
health and diversity of our mountain ecosystems.

“The ACT”:
the Colorado Noxious Weed Act, C.R.S. §35-5.5-101, et seq., as amended. The Act directs the
BOCC of each county in Colorado to adopt and administer a Noxious Weed Management Plan for
all unincorporated land within the county, and to appoint a local Weed Advisory Board.
Adjacent:
meeting or touching at some point, or having nothing of the same kind intervening.
Biological Control
the use of organisms or natural predators (such as insects, mites, or diseases which feed only on
specific noxious weeds) to disrupt the growth of noxious weeds.
BOT:
the Board of Trustees for the town of Nederland, Colorado.
Chemical Control:
the use of herbicides or plant growth regulators to disrupt the growth of noxious weeds.
Containment:
maintaining an intensively managed buffer zone that separates infested regions where
suppression activities prevail, from largely uninfested regions where eradication activities prevail.
Control:
to manage the populations of noxious weed species so that the population is maintained or
reduced in size. Control methods include: Mechanical, Cultural, Chemical, and Biological.
County:
Boulder County, Colorado.
Cultural Control:
methodologies or management practices that favor the growth of desirable native plants over
noxious weeds, including maintaining an optimum fertility and plant moisture status in an area,
planting at optimum density and spatial arrangement in an area, and planting species most suited
to an area.
Envision 2020 (Vision 2020)
an overall Nederland community focusing vision for planning and zoning, economic development,
resource management, and budget allocations, for the year 2020, based on citizen priorities and
input.

Eradication:
removing the reproductive successes of noxious weed species or specified noxious weed
populations in largely uninfested areas to zero and/or permanently eliminating the species or
populations within a specified period of time.
Escaped Ornamental:
exotic horticultural plant species imported from other countries with the ornamental intentions but
which invade natural habitats, becoming an ecological or economic nuisance to the present
management goals of those lands.
GIS - Geographic Information System
a digital system for capturing, storing, checking, and displaying data related to positions on
Earth's surface.
Integrated Management or Integrated Management Practices (IMP)
the planning and implementation of a coordinated program utilizing a variety of methods for
managing noxious weeds, the purpose of which is to achieve specified management objectives
and promote desirable plant communities. Such methods may include but are not limited to
education, preventive measures, good stewardship, and techniques such as biological control,
chemical control, cultural control, and mechanical control.
Invasive:
capable of entering a native plant community to the detriment of native species
List A:
rare noxious weed species that are subject to eradication wherever detected in Colorado in order
to protect neighboring lands and the state as a whole, as per The Act.
List B:
noxious weed species with discrete distributions in Colorado that are subject to eradication,
containment, or suppression as designated by the Nederland Weed Management Committee in
order to stop the spread of these species, as per The Act.
List C:
widespread and well-established noxious weed species in Colorado for which management is
recommended but not required, although the Nederland Weed Management Committee may in
its discretion require management, as per The Act.
Manage:
any activity that prevents a plant from establishing, reproducing, or dispersing itself.
Management Objective:
controlling noxious weeds in accordance with applicable provisions of the Act and Rules,
designating that specific weeds shall be eradicated, contained or suppressed on a species-byspecies basis.
Mechanical Control:
methodologies or management practices that physically disrupt plant growth, including tilling,
mowing, burning, mulching, hand-pulling, hoeing, grazing, and removing flowers or seed heads.
