warrants, as well as bonds. The County further recognizes that any bank, thrift institution or

misleading. The Chair or in her absence, any of the Commissioners of the Board, is hereby
authorized to execute copies of the Official Statement on behalf of the County.

DMWEST#36866464 v2 7
Section 10. No Debt or Multiple Fiscal Year Obligation of the County. The Base
Rentals and Additional Rentals under the Lease shall constitute currently budgeted and
appropriated expenditures of the County. The County's obligations under the Lease shall
be subject to the County's annual right to renew the Lease and rights to terminate the
Lease as provided therein, and shall not constitute a mandatory charge or requirement in
any ensuing Fiscal Year beyond the then current Fiscal Year. No provision of the
Improvement Lease,the Lease,the Indenture,or the 2019 Certificates shall be construed or
interpreted as creating a general obligation or other indebtedness or multiple fiscal year
financial obligation of the County within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory
debt limitation or requirement. The County shall have no obligation to make any payment
with respect to the 2019 Certificates except in connection with the payment of the Base
Rentals and certain other payments under the Lease, which payments may be terminated
by the County in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. No provision of the
Improvement Lease, the Lease or the 2019 Certificates shall be construed or interpreted as
creating an unlawful delegation of governmental powers nor as a donation by or a lending
of the credit of the County within the meaning of Sections 1 or 2 of Article XI of the
Colorado Constitution. Neither the Lease, the Indenture, nor the 2019 Certificates shall
directly or indirectly obligate the County to make any payments beyond those specifically
included in the County's budget and appropriated for the then current Fiscal Year. The
County shall be under no obligation whatsoever to exercise its option to purchase the
Leased Property under the Lease. No provision of the Lease shall be construed to pledge
or to create a lien on any class or source of moneys of the County.
Section 11. No Compulsion. The Board hereby determines and declares that the Base
Rentals due under the Lease, in the maximum amounts authorized pursuant to Section 2 hereof,
constitute the fair rental value of the Leased Property and do not exceed a reasonable amount so
as to place the County under an economic compulsion to renew the Lease or to exercise its option
to purchase the Leased Property pursuant to the Lease. The Board declares that the period during
which the County has an option to purchase the Leased Property (i.e., the maximum term of the
Lease) does not exceed the weighted average useful life of the Leased Property.
Section 12. No Recourse Against Officers and Agents. Pursuant to Section 11-57-209,
C.R.S., if a member of the Board, or any officer or agent of the County acts in good faith,no civil
recourse shall be available against such member, officer, or agent for payment of the principal,
interest or prior redemption premiums on the 2019 Certificates. Such recourse shall not be
available either directly or indirectly through the Board or the County, or otherwise, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute, rule of law, enforcement of penalty, or otherwise. By the
acceptance of the 2019 Certificates and as a part of the consideration of their sale or purchase,
any person purchasing or selling such 2019 Certificate specifically waives any such recourse.
Section 13. Conclusive Recital. The Board hereby elects to apply all of the provisions of
the Supplemental Act to the Lease and the Improvement Lease; provided, however, that such
election shall not operate to modify or limit the rights conferred on the County, the members of
the Board and the officers of the County by any other provisions of State law. Pursuant to Section
11-57-21, C.R.S.,the 2019 Certificates shall contain a recital that they are executed and delivered
DMWEST#36866464 v2 8
pursuant to the Supplemental Act. Such recital shall be conclusive evidence of the validity and
the regularity of the execution and delivery of the 2019 Certificates after their delivery for value.
Section 14. Limitation of Actions. Pursuant to Section 11-57-212, C.R.S., no legal or
equitable action brought with respect to any legislative acts or proceedings in connection with the
authorization or execution and delivery of the 2019 Certificates shall be commenced more than
30 days after the authorization of such securities.
Section 15. Ratification and Approval of Prior Actions. All actions heretofore taken
by the consultants to or officers of the County and the members of the Board, not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Resolution, relating to the authorization, sale, and administration of
the 2019 Certificates, the financing of the Financed Facility, the leasing to the Trustee and
leasing back from the Trustee the Leased Property, or the execution of any documents in
connection with the 2019 Certificates, are hereby ratified, approved, and confirmed.
Section 16. Resolution Irrepealable. This Resolution is, and shall constitute, a
legislative measure of the County and shall be and remain irrepealable during the term of the
Lease as it may be renewed at the option of the County as provided therein.
Section 17. Repealer. All orders, bylaws, and resolutions of the County, or parts
thereof, inconsistent or in conflict with this Resolution, are hereby repealed to the extent only of
such inconsistency or conflict.
Section 18. Severability. If any section, paragraph, clause, or provision of this
Resolution shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or
unenforceability of such section, paragraph, clause, or provision shall not affect any of the
remaining provisions of this Resolution,the intent being that the same are severable.
Section 19. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its
adoption and approval.

communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix C, with such
modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter,
the County and Special Counsel (as defined below), to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales
price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Certificates.
(c) [Except as otherwise set forth in Appendix A attached hereto,] the County will
treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Certificates (the "10%test"), identified
under the column"10%Test Used" in Appendix A, is sold to the public as the issue price of that
maturity. At or promptly after the execution of this Purchase Contract, the Underwriter shall
report to the County the price or prices at which it has sold to the public each maturity of
Certificates. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the
Certificates, the Underwriter agrees to promptly report to the County the prices at which it sells
the unsold Certificates of that maturity to the public. That reporting obligation shall continue,
whether or not the Closing Date (as defined below) has occurred, until either (i) the Underwriter
has sold all Certificates of that maturity or (ii) the 10% test has been satisfied as to the
Certificates of that maturity, provided that, the Underwriter's reporting obligation after the
Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the County or
Special Counsel. For purposes of this section, if Certificates mature on the same date but have
2
4847-4379-8420/024450-0092
different interest rates, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be treated as a
separate maturity of the Certificates.
(d) [The Underwriter confirms that it has offered the Certificates to the public on or
before the date of this Purchase Contract at the offering price or prices (the "initial offering
price"), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Appendix A attached hereto, except as
otherwise set forth therein. Appendix A also sets forth, identified under the column "Hold the
Offering Price Rule Used," as of the date of this Purchase Contract, the maturities, if any, of the
Certificates for which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the County and the
Underwriter agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow
the County to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date
as the issue price of that maturity (the "hold-the-offering-price rule"). So long as the hold-the-
offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Certificates, the Underwriter will
neither offer nor sell unsold Certificates of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher
than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending
on the earlier of the following.
(i) the close of the fifth(5th)business day after the sale date;or
(ii) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity
of the Certificates to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to
the public.
The Underwriter will advise the County promptly after the close of the fifth(5th)business
day after the sale date whether it has sold 10%of that maturity of the Certificates to the public at
a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.]
(e) The Underwriter confirms that:
(i) any selling group agreement and any third-party distribution agreement
relating to the initial sale of the Certificates to the public,together with the related pricing
wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer who is a member of the
selling group and each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution
agreement, as applicable:
(A)(i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold
Certificates of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has
occurred, until either all Certificates of that maturity allocated to it have been
sold or it is notified by the Underwriter that the 10%test has been satisfied as to
the Certificates of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the
Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request
of the Underwriter, and (ii) to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if
applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter,
(B) to promptly notify the Underwriter of any sales of Certificates
that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an
underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Certificates to the public (each
such term being used as defined below),and
3
4847-4379-8420/024450-0092
(C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the dealer or
broker-dealer, the Underwriter shall assume that each order submitted by the
dealer or broker-dealer is a sale to the public.
(ii) any selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the Certificates
to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language
obligating each dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement to be
employed in connection with the initial sale of the Certificates to the public to require
each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement to (A) report
the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Certificates of each maturity allocated
to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Certificates of that
maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter or the dealer
that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Certificates of that maturity, provided that,
the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or
otherwise upon request of the Underwriter or the dealer, and (B) comply with the hold-
the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter or
the dealer and as set forth in the related pricing wires.
(f) The County acknowledges that, in making the representations set forth in this
section, the Underwriter will rely on (i) in the event a selling group has been created in
connection with the initial sale of the Certificates to the public, the agreement of each dealer who
is a member of the selling group to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of
the Certificates, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-
price rule, if applicable to the Certificates, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the
related pricing wires, and (ii) in the event that a third-party distribution agreement was employed
in connection with the initial sale of the Certificates to the public, the agreement of each broker-
dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue
price of the Certificates, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-
offering-price rule, if applicable to the Certificates, as set forth in the third-party distribution
agreement and the related pricing wires. The County further acknowledges that the Underwriter
shall not be liable for the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any
broker-dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement, to comply with its
corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the
Certificates, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-
price rule, if applicable to the Certificates.
(g) The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Certificates to any person that is
a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Certificates to the public
(each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes
of this section. Further, for purposes of this section:

contract with the County (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate)

clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Certificates to the public (including a
member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution agreement participating
in the initial sale of the Certificates to the public);
4
4847-4379-8420/024450-0092
(iii) a purchaser of any of the Certificates is a "related party" to an
underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to
(i)more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their
stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of
another), (ii)more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits
interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership

the Preliminary Official Statement in connection with the public offering of the Certificates. The
County shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Underwriter as soon as practicable after the

therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend
or supplement the Official Statement to comply with law, the County will notify the Underwriter

information and belief of the undersigned, the expectations set forth in this Tax Certificate are
reasonable. The expectations of the County concerning certain uses of the proceeds of the Series

on representations and certifications of other parties delivered concurrently herewith, including
specifically the representations and certifications of RBC Capital Markets LLC (the
"Underwriter"). The County is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause it to
question the accuracy or reasonableness of any representation or certification made in this Tax
Certificate or the accompanying certificates.
Section 1.5 Private Activity Bond Representations. For purposes of establishing
that the Series 2019 Certificates are not private activity bonds, the County represents as follows:
(a) Not more than 10% of the proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates (and
not more than 10% of the proceeds of any issue of the Certificates to be Prepaid) was or will be
used, directly or indirectly, or replaced or will replace funds which were or will be used, in any
business carried on by any person other than a state or local governmental unit.
2
(b) Not more than 10% of the payment of principal or interest evidenced by
the Series 2019 Certificates (and not more than 10% of payment of principal or interest
evidenced by any issue the Certificates to be Prepaid) was or will be, directly or indirectly,

(c) The amount of private business use and private security or payments
attributable to unrelated or disproportionate private business use has not and will not exceed five
percent(5%)of the proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates.

used, directly or indirectly, to make or finance loans to persons other than a state or local
governmental unit.
(e) No user of the Project (other than a state or local governmental unit) will
use more than 10% of such facilities on any basis other than on the same basis as the general
public; and no person other than a state or local governmental unit will be a user of more than
10% of such facilities as a result of (A) ownership, (B) actual or beneficial use pursuant to a

or cause to be taken all actions that are required of it for the interest potion of payments made by
the County under the Lease and received by the Owners of the Certificates (the "Certificate
Interest Portion") to be and remain excludable from gross income for Federal income tax
purposes. The County understands that included within such covenant is the covenant to prevent
the Series 2019 Certificates from being or becoming "private activity bonds" within the meaning
of Section 141 of the Code and the Regulations or to prevent the County from taking any action
which would adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the interest evidenced by the Series 2019
Certificates. The County acknowledges that it has been advised by Special Counsel regarding
certain restrictions and limitations on the amount and types of "private payments" which the
County may derive, directly or indirectly, with respect to the Project to prevent the Series 2019
Certificates from being or becoming private activity bonds. The County hereby covenants that it
will, and reasonably expects that it can, comply with such restrictions and limitations.
Section 1.6 Written Policies Evidencing Compliance with Code and Regulations.
Attached as Exhibit C to this Tax Certificate are Tax Compliance Policies for Tax-Exempt
Governmental Bonds which the County agrees to maintain, and with which the County agrees to
comply, for the purposes of satisfying the tax-exempt bond provisions of the Code and
Regulations applicable to the Series'2019 Certificates.
Section 1.7 Economic Life of Financed Facilities and Weighted Average Maturity
of the Series 2019 Certificates. The weighted average maturity of the Series 2019 Certificates,
as determined by the Underwriter, is years. The reasonably expected average economic
life of the Project is at least years. Therefore, the weighted average maturity of the Series
3
2019 Certificates is not more than 120% of the average economic life of the facilities financed
with the proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates.
Section 1.8 No Sale of Facilities. The County does not expect to sell or otherwise
dispose of its interest in any portion of the Project before the maturity or retirement of the Series
2019 Certificates, except that such property and facilities may be disposed of in the ordinary
course of business due to normal wear, obsolescence or depreciation.
Section 1.9 Single Issue for Tax Purposes. No obligations other than the Series 2019
Certificates are (i) being sold at substantially the same time (i.e., within 15 days) as the
, 2019 sale date of the Series 2019 Certificates, (ii) being sold pursuant to the same
plan of financing as the Series 2019 Certificates, and (iii) reasonably expected to be paid from
substantially the same source of funds as the Series 2019 Certificates, determined without regard
to guarantees from unrelated parties.
Section 1.10 No Federal Guarantee. The payment of principal and interest
represented by the Series 2019 Certificates is not directly or indirectly guaranteed by the United
States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof, all within the meaning of Section
149 of the Code.
Section 1.11 EIN Number and Information Reporting. The County's federal
employer identification number is 84-6000762. The information contained in the Form 8038-G
with respect to the Series 2019 Certificates was supplied by or on behalf of the County and is
correct.
Section 1.12 Series 2019 Certificates Not Hedge Bonds. The County will spend 85%
of the proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates to carry out the governmental purposes for which
the Series 2019 Certificates are executed and delivered within three years after the date of the
execution and delivery thereof, and not more than 50% of the proceeds of the Series 2019
Certificates will be invested in investments having a substantially guaranteed yield for four years
or more.
Section 1.13 No Reimbursement from Proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates. The
County will not reimburse itself from proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates for expenditures
made prior to the Issue Date unless such reimbursement is for Costs of Issuance, or in an amount
not in excess of the lesser of$100,000 or 5% of the proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates, the
lesser amount in this case being $100,000.
Section 1.14 Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest. The Series 2019 Certificates are dated
the Issue Date, which is the date of this Tax Certificate, and therefore the County will receive no
amounts representing pre-issuance accrued interest(as defined in Regulations §1.148-1(b)).
Section 1.15 Tax Covenants. Pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Lease, the County has
covenanted, among other things, for the benefit of the owners of the Series 2019 Certificates
from time to time, that the County will not take any action or omit to take any action with respect
to the Series 2019 Certificates, any funds of the County, or any facilities financed with the
proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates, if such action or omission would cause the Certificate
Interest Portion to lose its exclusion from gross income for purposes of federal income tax.

(iii) An amount of$ will be deposited with the County to
pay the costs of the Project.
Section 2.2 No Overissuance. The total proceeds to be received from the sale of the
Series 2019 Certificates and the anticipated investment earnings thereon do not exceed the total
of the amounts necessary to finance the governmental purposes for which the Series 2019
Certificates are being executed and delivered as described above.
Section 2.3 Investment of Proceeds. No portion of the Series 2019 Certificates is

Certificates.
Section 2.4 Bank Qualification. The County has designated the Series 2019
Certificates as "qualified tax exempt obligations" under Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The
County,together with any entities issuing on behalf of the County, has not issued any tax-exempt

Section 2.5 Funds and Accounts.
(a) General. The following funds and accounts are created and established
pursuant to the Indenture, or being held by the County:
(i) The Base Rentals Fund;
(ii) The Costs of Issuance Fund; and
(iii) The Rebate Fund.
The County certifies that the following sections accurately reflect various matters relating
to these funds and accounts.
(b) Base Rentals Fund. The Base Rentals Fund will be used primarily to
achieve a proper matching of revenues and certificate payments with respect to the Series 2019
Certificates within each year. To the extent moneys in these accounts are used to pay principal
and interest represented by the Series 2019 Certificates, they will be expended within 13 months
from the date of deposit therein and are expected to be depleted at least once each year except for
a reasonable carryover amount not exceeding the greater of(i) the earnings on investment of the
moneys in such accounts for the immediately preceding year, or (ii) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the
principal and interest payable with respect to the Series 2019 Certificates for the immediately
preceding year.
Accordingly, amounts deposited into the Base Rentals Fund for the purpose of
paying principal and interest with respect to the Series 2019 Certificates may be invested at an
unrestricted yield for a period not exceeding 13 months from the date of the first deposit of such
amounts to such accounts. None of the Series 2019 Certificates are private activity bonds, the
average maturity of the Series 2019 Certificates is at least 5 years and the interest rates on the
Series 2019 Certificates do not vary during the term thereof. Therefore, the Base Rentals Fund is
not subject to the rebate rules of Section 148(0(2) of the Code.
(c) Costs of Issuance Fund. Proceeds in the Costs of Issuance Fund may be
invested at an unrestricted yield until, to the extent not fully spent, they will be used to toward
the first Base Rental on 1, 2019.
(d) Rebate Fund. The County has covenanted not to use moneys in any
account in connection with the Series 2019 Certificates in a manner which will cause the Series
2019 Certificates to become arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. To
that end, the Rebate Fund is created pursuant to the Indenture and will be funded to the extent
required, either from transfers from the other funds or from the County's general funds. The
County agrees to deliver to the Trustee, for deposit into the Rebate Fund, any payments required
in accordance with this Tax Certificate for purposes of paying rebate to the United States
Treasury. The amount required to be held in the Rebate Fund at any point in time is determined
pursuant to the requirements of the Code, including particularly Section 148(0 of the Code and
the Regulations. Moneys in the Rebate Fund are neither pledged nor expected to be used to
make payments of principal or interest with respect to the Series 2019 Certificates.
6
(e) Minor Portion Exception. A "minor portion" of the sale proceeds of the
Series 2019 Certificates, which is equal to the lesser of 5% of the proceeds of the Series 2019
Certificates or$100,000, may be invested at a yield materially higher than the yield on the Series
2019 Certificates.
Section 2.6 No Replacement Proceeds. Other than proceeds of the Series 2019
Certificates, neither the County nor any person related to it within the meaning of Section 147(a)
of the Code (a"Related Person"), has on hand any funds that could legally and practically be
used for the purposes for which the Series 2019 Certificates are being executed and delivered
that are not pledged, budgeted, earmarked or otherwise necessary to be used for other purposes.
Accordingly, no portion of the proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates will be used (i) directly
or indirectly to replace funds of the County or any Related Person that could be used for the
purposes for which the Series 2019 Certificates are being executed and delivered, or (ii)to
replace any proceeds of any prior issuance of obligations by the County or any Related Person.
Section 2.7 No Other Sinking or Pledged Funds. Except for the Base Rentals Fund,
no other accounts have been or are expected to be established, and no moneys or property (other
than the Leased Property, as defined in the Lease) have been or are expected to be available or
pledged (no matter where held or the source thereof), that are expected to be used or available to
pay, directly or indirectly, principal or interest with respect to the Series 2019 Certificates, or
restricted so as to give reasonable assurance of their availability for such purposes.
Section 2.8 No Abusive Arbitrage Device. The County hereby certifies, warrants
and covenants that the Series 2019 Certificates are not and will not be part of a transaction or
series of transactions that(i) attempts to circumvent the provisions of Section 148 of the Code or
the related Regulations, thereby enabling the County to exploit the difference between tax-
exempt and taxable interest rates to obtain a material financial advantage, or (ii) overburdens the
tax-exempt bond market in any manner, including, without limitation, causing the execution and
delivery of more certificates, causing certificates to be executed and delivered earlier, or
allowing them to remain outstanding longer than is otherwise reasonably necessary to
accomplish the governmental purposes of the Series 2019 Certificates.
ARTICLE III
CALCULATION OF YIELD
Section 3.1 Yield.
(a) General. For purposes of this Tax Certificate, yield is calculated as set
forth in Section 148(h) of the Code and Regulations §§1.148-4 and 1.148-5. Thus, yield
generally means that discount rate which, when used in computing the present value of all
unconditionally payable amounts of principal and interest with respect to an obligation and the
cost of qualified guarantees (if any) paid and to be paid with respect to such obligation,produces
an amount equal to the issue price of the obligation. The yield on the Series 2019 Certificates
equals that discount rate which, when used in computing the present value as of the Issue Date,
of all unconditionally payable payments of principal and interest represented by the Series 2019
Certificates, produces an amount equal to the present value, using the same discount rate, of the
7
aggregate issue price of the Series 2019 Certificates as of the Issue Date less the Qualified
Guarantee Payments.
(b) Yield on the Series 2019 Certificates. The yield on the Series 2019
Certificates is computed as of the Issue Date and will not be affected by subsequent unexpected
events, unless the County enters into a hedging transaction (within the meaning of Regulations
§1.148-4(h)), or there occurs a transfer, waiver, modification or similar transaction involving any
right that is part of the terms of any of the Series 2019 Certificates. Any underwriters' discount,
delivery costs and the costs of carrying or repaying the Series 2019 Certificates will not be taken
into account in calculating the yield on the Series 2019 Certificates. The County hereby
certifies, based upon representations of the Underwriter, that the issue price of the Series 2019
Certificates is $ , which represents the prices at which the Series 2019 Certificates were
sold, or expected to be sold, to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers and other
intermediaries) on the Sale Date.
For the purposes hereof, yield will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of 30-day
months, with interest compounded semiannually. Further, each of the Series 2019 Certificates
maturing on or after December 1, 20_ (the "Callable Premium Certificates") was issued at a
price (expressed as a percentage) that exceeds its respective stated redemption price at maturity
by more than one-fourth of one percent (.25%) multiplied by the product of the stated
redemption price at maturity and the number of complete years to the first optional redemption
date for the Series 2019 Certificates. The yield on the Series 2019 Certificates was computed by
treating the Premium Callable Certificates as redeemed at their respective stated redemption
prices on the optional call date that would produce the lowest yield on the Series 2019
Certificates.
Based on these assumptions, the yield on the Series 2019 Certificates, on an
aggregate basis, as computed by the Underwriter, is %.
Section 3.2 Qualified Guarantee. There will be not be any municipal bond insurance
or letters of credit with respect to, or other guarantee on, the Series 2019 Certificates.
Section 3.3 No Working Capital Expenditures. The County certifies and represents
that none of the proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates will be used for working capital
expenditures as defined in Regulations §1.150-1(b).
ARTICLE IV
REBATE
Section 4.1 Undertakings.
(a) The County has covenanted to comply with certain requirements of the
Code and the Regulations with respect to the payment of any arbitrage rebate amount that may
become due to the United States, including the proper method for computing whether any rebate
amount is due the Federal government pursuant to Code Section 148(f) and Regulations §§1.148-
0 through 1.148-11, 1.149(d)-1, 1.149(g)-1, 1.150-1 and 1.150-2.

Section 4.2 Reserved.
Section 4.3 Recordkeeping. Detailed records with respect to each and every
Nonpurpose Investment attributable to Gross Proceeds (within the meaning of Regulations
§1.148-1(b)) of the Series 2019 Certificates must be maintained by the Trustee and the County
for the respective accounts and funds under its management and administration, including: (i)
purchase date, (ii)purchase price, (iii) any accrued interest paid, (iv) face amount, (v) coupon
rate, (vi) periodicity of interest payments, (vii) disposition price, (viii) any accrued interest
received, (ix) disposition date, and(x) broker's fees. Such detailed record keeping is required for
the calculation of the rebate amount (within the meaning of Regulations §1.148-3), which, in
part, will require a determination of the difference between the actual aggregate earnings of all
Nonpurpose Investments and the amount of such earnings assuming a yield equal to the yield on
the Series 2019 Certificates. Records with respect to the investments and other matters relating
to the Series 2019 Certificates will be kept for three years after the final maturity or earlier
retirement of the Series 2019 Certificates.
Section 4.4 Rebate Amount Calculation and Payment.
(a) The County represents, warrants and covenants that it will prepare or
cause to be prepared a calculation of the rebate amount with respect to the Series 2019
Certificates consistent with the rules described in this Section 4.4. This calculation may include
a detailed description of how the Series 2019 Certificates qualify for any of the applicable spend
down exception pursuant to Section 148 of the Code and Regulations §1.148-7. The County will
prepare or cause to be prepared the calculation of the rebate amount (i) within 55 days after a
date that is not later than five years from the date hereof, and each fifth year thereafter so long as
any Series 2019 Certificates remain unpaid, and (ii) within 55 days after the first date on which
there are no unpaid Series 2019 Certificates. Not later than 55 days after a date that is not later
than five years from the date hereof, and each fifth year thereafter so long as any of the Series
2019 Certificates remain unpaid, and within 55 days after the last of the Series 2019 Certificates
is paid, the County shall deposit in the Rebate Fund any amount necessary to increase the sum
held by the County in such fund to any amount required to be paid pursuant to Paragraph (c)
hereof.
(b) For purposes of calculating the rebate amount (i) the aggregate amount
earned with respect to a Nonpurpose Investment shall be determined by assuming that the
Nonpurpose Investment was acquired for an amount equal to its value at the time it becomes a
Nonpurpose Investment, and (ii) the aggregate amount earned with respect to any Nonpurpose
Investment shall include any unrealized gain or loss with respect to the Nonpurpose Investment
on the first date when there are no unpaid Series 2019 Certificates or when the investment ceases
to be a Nonpurpose Investment.
(c) The Trustee will pay to the United States Treasury, pursuant to written
instructions from the County, out of designated funds (i) not later than 60 days after the end of
each five-year period beginning with the date hereof, a payment equal to at least 90% of the
rebate amount with respect to the Series 2019 Certificates, calculated as of the date of such
payment, and (ii)not later than 60 days after the first date when there are no unpaid Series 2019
Certificates, an amount equal to 100% of the rebate amount(determined as of the first date when
9
there are no unpaid Series 2019 Certificates) plus any actual or imputed earnings on such rebate
amount, all as set forth in Regulations §§1.148-1 through 1.148-11 and as determined by or on
behalf of the County.
(d) Each payment required to be made pursuant hereto relating to the Series
2019 Certificates will be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Center designated in the then-
applicable Internal Revenue Service forms and instructions, on or before the date such payment
is due, and will be accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form 8038-T or successor form.
The County and the Trustee must retain records of the calculations required by this Section 4.4
until three years after the last payment with respect to the Series 2019 Certificates.
Section 4.5 Valuation of Investments. For all purposes of Section 148 of the Code,
the value of an investment allocated to the Series 2019 Certificates (including a payment or
receipt on the investment) on a date must be detetinined using one of the valuation methods in
accordance with certain methods prescribed by the Code and Regulitions
Section 4.6 Segregation of Proceeds. In order to perform the calculations required by
the Code, it is necessary to track separately all of the Gross Proceeds. To that end, the County
hereby agrees to instruct the Trustee to establish separate funds, accounts or subaccounts or take
other accounting measures in order to account fully for all Gross Proceeds.
Section 4.7 Filing Requirements. The County shall file or cause to be filed such
reports or other documents with the Internal Revenue Service as may be required by the Code
from time to time (e.g., Form 8038-G and Form 8038-T).

conditions of this Improvement Lease shall be affected thereby, and each provision of this
Improvement Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

able to undertake such functions upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the Trustee
determines that it is in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners of the Certificates that
they be able to obtain certificated Certificates,the Certificates shall no longer be restricted

thereof; provided, however, that other Federal Securities and moneys may be substituted
for the Federal Securities and moneys so deposited prior to their use for such purpose.

or a separate escrow agent for the payment or redemption of any Certificates more than 45
days prior to the date that such Certificates are to mature or be redeemed,the Trustee shall

ownership. In lieu of the foregoing the Trustee may accept other proofs of the foregoing
as it shall deem appropriate.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT the Registered Owner (specified above), or registered assigns,
as the Registered Owner (the "Owner") of this Certificate of Participation, is the Owner of a
proportionate interest in the right to receive certain designated Revenues, including Base Rentals,
under and as defined in the Lease Purchase Agreement (the "Lease") dated as of 1,
2019, between UMB Bank, n.a., as Trustee (the "Trustee"), as lessor, and Eagle County (the
"County"), as lessee, and the Indenture of Trust (the "Indenture") dated as of 1,
2019, by the Trustee. All terms capitalized but not defined herein shall have the meanings given
to them in the Indenture.
This Certificate bears interest, matures, is payable, is subject to redemption, and is
transferable as provided in the Indenture.
Optional Redemption. The Certificates maturing on and after December 1, 20 shall be
subject to redemption prior to their respective maturity dates at the option of the County, in whole
or in part, in integral multiples of$5,000, and if in part in such order of maturities as the County
shall determine and by lot within a maturity, on December 1, 20_, and on any date thereafter, at
DMWEST#36768110 v3 A-1
a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Certificates so redeemed plus accrued
interest to the redemption date without a premium.
Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption. If the Lease is terminated by reason of the
occurrence of (a) an Event of Nonappropriation, or (b) an Event of Lease Default, or (c) the
Trustee, at the direction of the County, fails to repair or replace the Leased Property if: (i) the
Leased Property is damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty; (ii)title to,
or the temporary or permanent use of,the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, has been taken
by eminent domain by any governmental body; (iii)breach of warranty or any material defect with
respect to the Leased Property becomes apparent; or(iv) title to or the use of all or any portion of
the Leased Property is lost by reason of a defect in title thereto, and the Net Proceeds (as defined
in the Lease) of any insurance, performance bond or condemnation award, or Net Proceeds
received as a consequence of defaults under contracts relating to the Leased Property, made
available by reason of such occurrences, are insufficient to pay in full, the cost of repairing or
replacing the Leased Property and the County does not appropriate sufficient funds for such
purpose or cause the Lease to be amended in order that Additional Certificates may be executed
and delivered pursuant to the Indenture for such purpose, the Certificates are required to be called
for redemption. If called for redemption, as described herein, the Certificates are to be redeemed
in whole on such date or dates as the Trustee may determine, for a redemption price equal to the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the availability
of funds as described below).
If the Net Proceeds, including the Net Proceeds from the exercise of any Lease Remedy
under the Lease, otherwise received and other moneys then available under the Indenture are
insufficient to pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on all Outstanding Certificates, the
Trustee may, or at the request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Certificates Outstanding, and upon indemnification as to costs and expenses as provided in the
Indenture, without any further demand or notice, is to exercise all or any combination of Lease
Remedies as provided in the Lease and the Certificates are to be redeemed by the Trustee from the
Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and all other moneys, if any,
then on hand and being held by the Trustee for the Owners of the Certificates.
If the Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys
are insufficient to redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest
accrued to the redemption date, then such Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease
Remedies and other moneys are to be allocated proportionately among the Certificates, according
to the principal amount thereof Outstanding. In the event that such Net Proceeds resulting from
the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys are in excess of the amount required to
redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the
redemption date, then such excess moneys are to be paid to the County as an overpayment of the
Purchase Option Price in respect of the Leased Property. Prior to any distribution of the Net
Proceeds resulting from the exercise of any of such remedies,the Trustee is entitled to payment of
its reasonable and customary fees for all services rendered in connection with such disposition, as
well as reimbursement for all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred
thereby, from proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys.
DMWEST#36768110 v3 A-2
IF THE CERTIFICATES ARE REDEEMED FOR AN AMOUNT LESS THAN THE
AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT THEREOF PLUS INTEREST ACCRUED TO THE
REDEMPTION DATE, SUCH PARTIAL PAYMENT 1S DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A
REDEMPTION IN FULL OF THE CERTIFICATES, AND UPON SUCH A PARTIAL
PAYMENT NO OWNER OF SUCH CERTIFICATES, INCLUDING THE CERTIFICATES,
SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER CLAIM FOR PAYMENT AGAINST THE TRUSTEE OR THE
COUNTY.
Partial Redemption. If less than all of the Certificates are to be redeemed, the Certificates
are to be redeemed only in integral multiples of$5,000. The Trustee is to treat any Certificates of
denomination greater than $5,000 as representing that number of separate Certificates each of the
denomination of $5,000 as can be obtained by dividing the actual principal amount of such
Certificates by $5,000. Upon surrender of any Certificate for redemption in part, the Trustee is to
execute and deliver to the Owner thereof, at no expense of the Owner, a new Certificate or
Certificates of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the Certificates so surrendered.
Notice of Redemption. Whenever Certificates are to be redeemed, the Trustee is required
to, not less than 20 days prior to the redemption date (except for Extraordinary Mandatory
Redemption notice which is required to be immediate), mail notice of redemption to all Owners
of all Certificates to be redeemed at their registered addresses, by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
or in the event that the Certificates to be redeemed are registered in the name of the Depository,
such notice may, in the alternative, be given by electronic means in accordance with the
requirements of the Depository. Any notice of redemption is to (a) be given in the name of the
Trustee, (b) identify the Certificates to be redeemed, (c) specify the redemption date and the
redemption price, (d) in the event of Optional Redemption, state that the County has given notice
of its intent to exercise its option to purchase or prepay Base Rentals under the Lease, (e) state that
such redemption is subject to the deposit of the funds related to such option by the County on or
before the stated redemption date and (0 state that on the redemption date the Certificates called
for redemption will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee and that from that date
interest will cease to accrue. The Trustee may use "CUSIP"numbers in notices of redemption as
a convenience to Certificates Owners, provided that any such notice is required to state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Certificates
or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the
identification numbers containing the prefix established under the Indenture.

applicable Purchase Option Price for the purpose of terminating this Lease and the Improvement
Lease in whole and purchasing the Trustee's leasehold interest in the Leased Property as further
provided in Article 11 hereof. The County may also,at any time during the Lease Term,(1)prepay

by the Board for such purpose as if no such notice had been given. The Trustee may waive the
right to receive 45 days advance notice and may agree to a shorter notice period.
Section 6.04 Additional Rentals.
(a) All Additional Rentals shall be paid by the County on a timely basis directly
to the person or entity to which such Additional Rentals are owed. All of the payments
required by this paragraph are subject to Appropriation by the County;provided,however,
a failure by the County to budget and appropriate moneys for any of the payments required
by this paragraph shall constitute an Event of Nonappropriation.
(b) If the County's estimates of Additional Rentals for any Fiscal Year are not
itemized in the budget required to be furnished to the Trustee under Section 4.02 hereof,
the County shall furnish an itemization of such estimated Additional Rentals to the Trustee

and Additional Rentals as required under this Article 6 and other sections hereof in any Fiscal Year

Years shall not be abated for any reason. Notwithstanding any dispute between the County and
the Trustee, the County shall, during the Lease Term, make all payments of Base Rentals and
Additional Rentals in such Fiscal Years and shall not withhold any Base Rentals or Additional
Rentals, for which an Appropriation has been effected by the County, pending final resolution of
such dispute(except to the extent permitted by Sections 7.03 and 8.04 hereof with respect to certain
Additional Rentals), nor shall the County assert any right of set-off or counterclaim against its
obligation to make such payments required hereunder. No action or inaction on the part of the
Trustee shall affect the County's obligation to pay all Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, for
DMWEST#36771518 v4 15
which a specific Appropriation has been effected by the County for such purpose, in such Fiscal
Years subject to this Article (except to the extent provided by Sections 7.03 and 8.04 hereof with

as provided in Section 4.02 hereof and this Article, or in the event that the County is
proceeding under the provisions of Section 9.03(a) hereof(when applicable), an Event of
Nonappropriation shall be deemed to have occurred; subject, however, to each of the
following provisions:
(i) In the event the Trustee does not receive the written notice provided
for by Section 4.03 hereof or evidence that an Appropriation has been effected by
the County on or before December 31 of a Fiscal Year, then the Trustee shall
declare an Event of Nonappropriation on or before the January 15 of the following
Fiscal Year or such declaration shall be made on any earlier date on which the
Trustee receives official, specific written notice from the County that this Lease
will not be renewed. In order to declare an Event of Nonappropriation,the Trustee
shall send written notice thereof to the County.
(ii) The Trustee shall waive any Event of Nonappropriation that is cured

as provided in (i) above, by a duly effected Appropriation to pay all Base Rentals
and sufficient amounts to pay reasonably estimated Additional Rentals coming due

Additional Rentals shall become due which were not included in a duly effected
Appropriation and moneys are not specifically budgeted and appropriated or otherwise

have occurred, upon notice by the Trustee to the County to such effect (subject to waiver
by the Trustee as provided in Section 6.07(a)(ii)above).
(c) If an Event of Nonappropriation occurs, the County shall not be obligated
to make payment of the Base Rentals or Additional Rentals or any other payments provided
for herein which accrue after the last day of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term during
which such Event of Nonappropriation occurs; provided, however, that, subject to the
limitations of Sections 6.01 and 13.03 hereof, the County shall continue to be liable for
DMWEST#36771518 v4 16
Base Rentals and Additional Rentals allocable to any period during which the County shall
continue to occupy, use or retain possession of the Leased Property.
(d) Subject to any waiver by the Trustee as provided in Section 6.07(a)(ii)
above,the County shall in all events vacate or surrender possession of the Leased Property
60 days from the end of the 90-day period set forth in Section 6.07(b) above.
(e) After 60 days from the end of the 90-day period set forth in Section 6.07(6)
above,the Trustee may proceed to exercise all or any Lease Remedies.

Nonappropriation(i)the Trustee shall be entitled to all moneys then being held in all funds
created under the Indenture (except the Rebate Fund and any defeasance escrow accounts)
to be used as described therein and (ii) all property, funds and rights then held or acquired
by the Trustee upon the termination of this Lease by reason of an Event of
Nonappropriation are to be held by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the

termination of this Lease, whether as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation
or an Event of Lease Default as provided in Section 13.02(a) hereof, with the written permission
of the Trustee it will be deemed to be a holdover tenant on a month-to-month basis, and will be
bound by all of the other terms, covenants and agreements of this Lease. Any holding over by the
County without the written permission of the Trustee shall be at sufferance. The amount of rent
to be paid monthly during any period when the County is deemed to be a holdover tenant will be
equal to(a)one-sixth of the Interest Portion of the Base Rentals coming due on the next succeeding
Base Rentals Payment Date plus one-twelfth of the Principal Portion of the Base Rentals coming
due on the next succeeding Base Rentals Payment Date on which a Principal Portion of the Base
Rentals would have been payable with appropriate adjustments to ensure the full payment of such
amounts on the due dates thereof in the event termination occurs during a Renewal Term plus (b)
Additional Rentals as the same shall become due.
Section 6.09 Prohibition of Adverse Budget or Appropriation Modifications. To the
extent permitted by law, the County shall not, during any Fiscal Year of the Lease Term, make
any budgetary transfers or other modifications to its then existing budget and appropriation
measures relating to the Leased Property or this Lease which would adversely affect the County's

contest and any appeal therefrom unless the Trustee shall notify the County that, in the opinion of
Counsel, by nonpayment of any such items the Trustee's leasehold interest in the Leased Property
will be materially endangered, or the Leased Property or any part thereof will be subject to loss or
forfeiture, in which event the County shall promptly pay and cause to be satisfied and discharged
all such unpaid items (provided, however, that such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the
right to continue to contest such items). The Trustee will cooperate upon request and at the expense
of the County in any such contest. Except as may be permitted by this Lease,the County shall not
directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge,

covenant in Section 10.04 hereof; and provided that the Leased Property, as improved or
altered, upon completion of such additions, modifications and improvements, shall be of a
value not less than the value of the Leased Property immediately prior to such making of

(b) The County shall have the right to make substitutions to the Leased Property
upon compliance with the provisions set forth in Section 8.08 hereof.
Section 8.03 Installation of Furnishings and Machinery of the County. The County

shall not allow any liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges to exist with
respect to the Leased Property (including, without limitation, any taxes levied upon the
Leased Property which, if not paid, will become a charge on the rentals and receipts from
the Leased Property, or any interest therein, including the leasehold interests of the

Property will be materially endangered or the Leased Property will be subject to loss or
forfeiture, or the Trustee will be subject to liability,in which event such taxes,assessments,
utility or other charges shall be paid forthwith(provided, however,that such payment shall
not constitute a waiver of the right to continue to contest such taxes, assessments,utility or
other charges).
Section 8.05 Provisions For Liability and Property Insurance.
(a) Upon the execution and delivery of this Lease, the County shall, at its own
expense, cause casualty and property insurance to be carried and maintained with respect
to the Leased Property in an amount equal to the estimated replacement cost of the Leased
Property. Such insurance policy or policies may have a deductible clause in an amount not
to exceed $150,000. The County may, in its discretion, insure the Leased Property under
blanket insurance policies which insure not only the Leased Property, but other buildings
as well, as long as such blanket insurance policies comply with the requirements hereof. If
the County shall insure against similar risks by self-insurance, the County may, at its
election, provide for casualty and property damage insurance with respect to the Leased
Property, partially or wholly by means of a self-insurance fund as provided by applicable
law or through the Colorado Counties Casualty and Property Pool ("CAPP"). If the County
shall elect to self-insure or insure through CAPP, the County Representative shall annually
furnish to the Trustee a certification of the adequacy of the County's reserves.
(b) Upon the execution and delivery of this Lease, the County shall, at its own
expense, cause public liability insurance to be carried and maintained with respect to the
activities to be undertaken by and on behalf of the County in connection with the use of
the Leased Property, in an amount not less than the limitations provided in the Colorado
Governmental Immunity Act (Section 24-10-101, et. seq., C.R.S. as now or hereafter
amended). Such insurance may contain deductibles and exclusions deemed reasonable by
the Board. The public liability insurance required by this Section may be by blanket
insurance policy or policies. If the County shall insure against similar risks by self-
insurance, the County, at its election, may provide for public liability insurance with
respect to the Leased Property, partially or wholly by means of a self-insurance fund as
provided by applicable law or through CAPP. If the County shall elect to self-insure, the
County Representative shall annually furnish to the Trustee a certification of the adequacy
of the County's reserves.
(c) Any casualty and property damage insurance policy required by this Section
shall be so written or endorsed as to make payments under such insurance policy payable
to the Trustee. The Trustee shall be named as additional insured and loss payee with
respect to such policy. Each insurance policy provided for in this Section shall be issued
by an insurance provider rated "A" or better by Standard & Poor's and shall contain a
provision to the effect that the insurance company shall not cancel the policy or modify it
materially and adversely to the interests of the Trustee without first giving written notice
thereof to the County and the Trustee at least 30 days in advance of such cancellation or
DMWEST#36771518 v4 20
modification. In the event that the County has received such notice of cancellation or
modification, it shall immediately furnish to the Trustee a new insurance policy or
certificate evidencing such policy replacing the cancelled or modified policy and effective
on or before the effective date of such cancellation or modification. All insurance policies
issued pursuant to this Section, or certificates evidencing such policies, shall be deposited
with the Trustee. No employee of the County shall have the power to adjust or settle any
loss with respect to the Leased Property in excess of$50,000, whether or not covered by
insurance,without the prior written consent of the Trustee.
(d) The County shall provide certificates of insurance or other appropriate
evidence of self-insurance, with appropriate endorsements attached demonstrating that the
Trustee have been named as an additional insured or loss payee and that the 30-day required
notice of cancellation provision is in effect. A certificate of insurance from the County or
the County's insurance agent will be acceptable evidence of insurance. Certificates
evidencing all insurance policies issued pursuant to this Section shall be deposited with the
Trustee.
Section 8.06 Advances. If the County fails to pay any Additional Rentals during the
Lease Term as such Additional Rentals become due, the Trustee may (but shall not be obligated
to) pay such Additional Rentals and the County agrees to reimburse the Trustee to the extent
permitted by law and subject to Appropriation as provided under Article 6 hereof.
Section 8.07 Granting of Easements. As long as no Event of Nonappropriation or Event
of Lease Default shall have happened and be continuing,the Trustee shall upon the request of the
County, (a) grant or enter into easements, permits, licenses, and other agreements, rights-of-way
(including the dedication of public roads)and other rights or privileges in the nature of easements,
permits, licenses, and other agreements and rights of way with respect to any property or rights
included in this Lease(whether such rights are in the nature of surface rights, sub-surface rights or
air space rights), free from this Lease and the Indenture and any security interest or other
encumbrance created hereunder or thereunder; (b) release existing easements, permits, licenses,
and other agreements, rights-of-way, and other rights and privileges with respect to such property
or rights, with or without consideration; and (c) execute and deliver any instrument necessary or
appropriate to grant, enter into or release any such easement,permit, license, or other agreement,
right-of-way or other grant or privilege upon receipt of: (i) a copy of the instrument of grant,
agreement or release and(ii)a written application signed by the County Representative requesting
such grant, agreement or release and stating that such grant, agreement or release will not
materially impair the effective use or materially interfere with the operation of the Leased Property.
Section 8.08 Release and Substitution of Leased Property. So long as no Event of
Lease Default or Event of Nonappropriation shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee
shall release the Leased Property, and shall execute all documents necessary or appropriate to
reconvey or release such portion of the Leased Property to the County, free of all restrictions and
encumbrances imposed or created by the Improvement Lease, this Lease or the Indenture, upon
receipt by the Trustee of the following:
(a) a written request of the County Representative for such release, describing
the portion of the Leased Property to be released;
DMWEST#36771518 v4 21
(b) a certificate of the County Representative certifying(i)the fair market value
of the portion of the Leased Property to be released and of any real property to be
substituted for the portion of the Leased Property to be released; (ii) the disposition to be
made of the portion of the Leased Property to be released and the consideration, if any,to
be received therefor; (iii) that the disposition of the portion of the Leased Property to be
released and the substitution therefor of the real property to be substituted for the portion
of the Leased Property to be released(if any)will not materially adversely affect the ability
of the County to operate the Leased Property or to fulfill its obligations under this Lease;
(iv)the useful life of the substituted property extends to or beyond the final maturity of the
Certificates;(v)the substituted property is at least as essential to the County as the property
for which it was substituted; and (vi) that the fair market value of any real property to be
substituted for the portion of the Leased Property to be released is at least equal to 90%of
the principal amount of the Certificates outstanding, both determined as of the date the
substitution occurs;
(c) appraisals of the fair market value of the portion of the Leased Property to
be released and any real property to be substituted for the portion of the Leased Property
to be released, respectively, by a member of the American Institute of Real Estate
Appraisers (MAI);
(d) an opinion of Special Counsel to the effect that such substitution is
permitted by this Lease and will not cause the District to violate its covenant set forth in
Section 10.04 hereof;

title insurance policy or a commitment to issue such a policy, amendment, or supplement
that would allow the County to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 7.02;and

the Indenture and any other documents necessary to subject any real property to be

(a) the Leased Property shall be destroyed(in whole or in part),or damaged by
fire or other casualty; or
(b) title to, or the temporary or permanent use of, the Leased Property or the
estate of the County or the Trustee in the Leased Property is taken under the exercise of
the power of eminent domain by any governmental body or by any person, firm or entity

DMWEST#36771518 v4 22
(c) a breach of warranty or a material defect in the construction, manufacture
or design of the Leased Property becomes apparent; or
(d) title to or the use of all or a portion of the Leased Property is lost by reason
of a defect in title thereto.
Section 9.02 Obligation to Repair and Replace the Leased Property.
(a) The County and the Trustee, to the extent Net Proceeds are within their
respective control, shall cause such Net Proceeds of any insurance policies, performance
bonds or condemnation awards,to be deposited in a separate trust fund held by the Trustee.
All Net Proceeds so deposited shall be applied to the prompt repair, restoration,
modification, improvement or replacement of the Leased Property by the County, upon
receipt of requisitions to the Trustee signed by the County Representative stating with
respect to each payment to be made:
(i) the requisition number;
(ii) the name and address of the person,firm or entity to whom payment
is due;
(iii) the amount to be paid; and
(iv) that each obligation mentioned therein has been properly incurred,
is a proper charge against the separate trust fund and has not been the basis of any
previous withdrawal and specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the obligation,
accompanied by a bill or a statement of account for such obligation.
(b) The County and the Trustee agree to cooperate and use their best reasonable
efforts subject to the terms of the Indenture to enforce claims which may arise in connection
with material defects in the construction, manufacture or design of the Leased Property or
otherwise. If there is a balance of any Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased Property
remaining after such repair, restoration, modification, improvement or replacement has
been completed,this balance shall be used by the County,to:
(i) add to, modify or alter the Leased Property or add new components
thereto, or
(ii) prepay the Base Rentals with a corresponding adjustment in the
amount of Base Rentals payable under Exhibit C to this Lease or
(iii) accomplish a combination of(i)and(ii).
(c) The Trustee may rely conclusively on any such certificate and shall not be
required to make any independent investigation in connection therewith. The execution of
any requisition certificate by the County shall constitute, unto the Trustee, an irrevocable
determination that all conditions precedent to the payments requested have been
completed.
DMWEST#36771518 v4 23
(d) Any repair, restoration, modification, improvement or replacement of the
Leased Property paid for in whole or in part out of Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased
Property shall be the property of the County, subject to the Improvement Lease,this Lease
and the Indenture and shall be included as part of the Leased Property under this Lease.
Section 9.03 Insufficiency of Net Proceeds.
(a) If the Net Proceeds (plus any amounts withheld from such Net Proceeds by
reason of any deductible clause) are insufficient to pay in full the cost of any repair,
restoration, modification, improvement or replacement of the Leased Property required
under Section 9.02 hereof,the County may elect to:
(i) complete the work or, with the written consent of the Trustee,
replace such Leased Property (or portion thereof) with similar property of a value
equal to or in excess of such portion of the Leased Property and pay as Additional
Rentals,to the extent amounts for Additional Rentals which have been specifically
appropriated by the County are available for payment of such cost, any cost in
excess of the amount of the Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased Property, and the
County agrees that, if by reason of any such insufficiency of the Net Proceeds
allocable to the Leased Property,the County shall make any payments pursuant to
the provisions of this paragraph, the County shall not be entitled to any
reimbursement therefor from the Trustee, nor shall the County be entitled to any
diminution of the Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, for which a specific
Appropriation has been effected by the County for such purpose, payable under
Article 6 hereof; or
(ii) apply the Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased Property to the
payment of the Purchase Option Price in accordance with Article 11 hereof. In the
event of an insufficiency of the Net Proceeds for such purpose, the County shall,
subject to the limitations of Section 6.01 hereof, pay such amounts as may be
necessary to equal that portion of the Purchase Option Price which is attributable
to the Leased Property for which Net Proceeds have been received (as certified to
the Trustee by the County); and in the event the Net Proceeds shall exceed such
portion of the Purchase Option Price, such excess shall be used as directed by the
County in the same manner as set forth in Section 9.02 hereof; or
(iii) if the County does not timely budget and appropriate sufficient
funds to proceed under either (i) or (ii) above, or the County chooses not to
substitute as provided in Section 8.08, an Event of Nonappropriation will be
deemed to have occurred and, subject to the County's right to cure,the Trustee may
pursue remedies available to it following an Event of Nonappropriation.
(b) The above referenced election shall be made by the County within 90 days
of the occurrence of an event specified in Section 9.01 hereof. It is hereby declared to be
the County's present intention that, if an event described in Section 9.01 hereof should
occur and if the Net Proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the cost of repair,
restoration,modification, improvement or replacement of the Leased Property,the County
DMWEST#36771518 v4 24
would use its best efforts to proceed under either paragraph(a)or paragraph (b)above; but
it is also acknowledged that the County must operate within budgetary and other economic
constraints applicable to it at the time, which cannot be predicted with certainty; and
accordingly the foregoing declaration shall not be construed to contractually obligate or
otherwise bind the County.
Section 9.04 Cooperation of the Trustee. At the expense of the County, the Trustee
shall cooperate fully with the County in filing any proof of loss with respect to any insurance
policy or performance bond covering the events described in Section 9.01 hereof and in the
prosecution or defense of any prospective or pending condemnation proceeding with respect to the
Leased Property and the enforcement of all warranties relating to the Leased Property. So long as
no Event of Lease Default or Event of Nonappropriation has occurred and is then existing, the
Trustee shall not voluntarily settle, or consent to the settlement of, any proceeding arising out of
any insurance claim,prospective or pending condemnation proceeding with respect to the Leased
Property without the written consent of the County.
Section 9.05 Condemnation by the County.
(a) If during the Lease Term or in connection with termination of this Lease,
the County or any agent acting under the authority of the County exercises the County's
eminent domain power to take the interest of the Trustee in the Leased Property,the County
and the Trustee agree that the fair market value of the Trustee's interest in the Leased
Property at the time of such taking is equal to the then-applicable Purchase Option Price.
If the interest taken represents a portion of the Trustee's interest in the Leased Property,
the County agrees that the fair market value of such portion is equal to the fraction of the
then-applicable Purchase Option Price calculated by multiplying the then-applicable
Purchase Option Price by the ratio which the portion of the interest taken bears to the total
interest of the Trustee, as the case may be, in the Leased Property.
(b) The County affirms that the fair market value of the Trustee's interest in the
Leased Property as of the date of delivery of and payment for the Certificates is
approximately equal to and not in excess of the original aggregate principal amount of the
Certificates. The County expects that the interests of the Trustee in the Leased Property
will depreciate over the Lease Term in accordance with a schedule that approximates the
schedule of principal payments on the Certificates, and therefore that the Purchase Option
Price at any time will approximate the fair market value of the Trustee's interest in the
Leased Property, which would otherwise be difficult or impossible to determine with
accuracy.
(c) Nothing in this Lease, including this Section, shall be construed as
impairing the right of the County to exercise its power of eminent domain for public
purposes. The provisions of this Section shall survive termination of this Lease and shall
remain in effect until payment or defeasance of the Certificates.

FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR
ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASED

express or implied,with respect to the Leased Property, as well as any claims or rights the Trustee

or indirect, incidental, special or consequential damage in connection with or arising out of this
Lease or the existence,furnishing,functioning or use by the County of any item,product or service
provided for herein except that nothing shall relieve the Trustee's liability for any claims,damages,
liability or court awards, including costs, expenses and attorney fees, relating to or arising from
the Trustee's actions or omissions that have been adjudicated to have resulted from the negligence,
bad faith or intentional misconduct of the Trustee.
Section 10.02 Further Assurances and Corrective Instruments. The Trustee and the
County agree that they will, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be
executed, acknowledged and delivered, such amendments hereof or supplements hereto and such
further instruments as may reasonably be required for correcting any inadequate or incorrect

the Trustee shall observe and comply promptly to the extent possible with all applicable law
governing the Leased Property, and all current and future requirements of all insurance companies
writing policies covering the Leased Property.
Section 10.04 Tax Covenants.
(a) The County acknowledges that the moneys in all funds and accounts
expected to be created under the Indenture are to be invested or deposited by the Trustee,
at the written direction of the County.
(b) The County covenants for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates that
it will not take any action or omit to take any action with respect to the Certificates, the
proceeds thereof, any other funds of the County or any facilities financed or refinanced
with the proceeds of the Certificates (except for the possible exercise of the County's right
to terminate this Lease as provided herein) if such action or omission (i) would cause the
interest portion of payments made by the County under the Lease and received by the
DMWEST#36771518 v4 26
Owners of the Certificates (the "Certificate Interest Portion")to lose its exclusion from
gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Tax Code, or (ii)
would cause the Certificate Interest Portion to lose its exclusion from alternative minimum
taxable income as defined in Section 55(b)(2) of the Tax Code, or (iii) would cause the
Certificate Interest Portion to lose its exclusion from State taxable income or to lose its
exclusion from State alternative minimum taxable income under present State law. The
foregoing covenant shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the payment in
full or defeasance of the Certificates, until the date on which all obligations of the County
in fulfilling the above covenant under the Tax Code and Colorado law have been met.
(c) In addition,the County covenants that its direction of investments pursuant
to Article 5 of the Indenture shall be in compliance with the procedures established by the
Tax Certificate to the extent required to comply with its covenants contained in the
foregoing provisions of this Section. The County hereby agrees that, to the extent
necessary, it will, during the Lease Term,pay to the Trustee such sums as are required for
the Trustee to pay the amounts due and owing to the United States Treasury as rebate
payments. Any such payment shall be accompanied by directions to the Trustee to pay
such amounts to the United States Treasury. Any payment of County moneys pursuant to
the foregoing sentence shall be Additional Rentals for all purposes of this Lease.
(d) A County Representative is authorized to execute the Tax Certificate in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Lease, which Tax Certificate shall
provide further details in respect of the County's tax covenants herein. The County
covenants that it will comply with the provisions of the Tax Certificate, which is
incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein. These covenants shall survive payment in
full or defeasance of the Certificates.
(e) The County shall not, directly or indirectly, use or permit the use of
proceeds of the Certificates or any portion thereof,by any person other than a governmental
unit(as such term is used in Section 141 of the Tax Code), in such manner or to such extent
as would result in the loss of exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes
of the Certificate Interest Portion. The County shall not take any action, or fail to take any
action, if such action or failure to take action would cause the Certificates to be "private
activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Tax Code, and in furtherance
thereof, shall not make any use of the proceeds of the Certificates or any of the property
financed or refinanced with proceeds of the Certificates, or any portion thereof, or any
other funds of the County, that would cause the Certificates to be "private activity bonds"
within the meaning of Section 141 of the Tax Code.To that end,so long as any Certificates
are outstanding, the County, with respect to such proceeds and property and such other
funds,will comply with applicable requirements of the Tax Code and all regulations of the
United States Department of Treasury issued thereunder and under Section 103 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the "1954 Code"), to the extent such
requirements are, at the time, applicable and in effect. The County shall establish
reasonable procedures necessary to ensure continued compliance with Section 141 of the
Tax Code (or, if applicable, the 1954 Code) and the continued qualification of the
Certificates as "governmental bonds."
DMWEST#36771518 v4 27
Section 10.05 Undertaking to Provide Ongoing Disclosure. The County covenants for
the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates to comply with the terms of the Continuing Disclosure
Agreement, provided that a failure of the County to do so shall not constitute an Event of Lease
Default. The Trustee shall have no power or duty to enforce this Section. Unless otherwise
required by law,no Certificate owner shall be entitled to damages for the County's non-compliance
with its obligations under this Section.
Section 10.06 Covenant to Reimburse Legal Expenses and Immunity. In the exercise
of the powers of the Trustee by its directors, members, officers, employees and agents under this
Lease and the Indenture, including(without limiting the foregoing)the application of moneys and

omitted with respect to this Lease by it or its directors, members, officers, employees and agents
reasonably believed by it or them to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred under this Lease. The Trustee and its directors,members,officers,employees and agents
shall be protected in its or their actions taken in reliance upon any paper or documents believed by
it or them to be genuine and consistent with their rights or powers under this Lease, and it or they
may conclusively rely upon the opinion or advice of Counsel and may(but need not)require further
evidence of any fact or matter before taking any action. No recourse shall be had by the County
for any claims based on the Indenture or this Lease against any director,member,officer,employee
or agent of the Trustee alleging personal liability on the part of such person.
To the extent permitted by law,the County shall defend and hold harmless the Trustee, its
directors, members, officers, employees, and agents against claims arising from the alleged
negligent acts or omissions of the County or its public employees, which occurred or are alleged
to have occurred during the performance of their duties and within the scope of their employment.
Such claims shall be subject to the limitations of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act,
(Section 24-10-101, et. seq., C.R.S. as now or hereafter amended). The County shall include as
Additional Rentals, the reimbursement of reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the
Trustee, its directors, members, officers, employees, and agents to defend them from and against
all claims, by or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or other legal entity arising from the
conduct or management of the Leased Property or from any work or thing done on the Leased
Property during the Lease Term requested by the County, or from any condition of the Leased
Property caused by the County. This duty to reimburse the legal expenses is not an indemnification
and it is expressly understood that the County is not indemnifying the Trustee and, as previously
stated, is limited to Net Proceeds and moneys, if any, in excess of such Net Proceeds, for which
an Appropriation has been effected.
Subject to the limitations of Section 6.01 hereof and to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the County further agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any and all claims, demands,judgments,
penalties, liabilities, cost$, damages and expenses, including court costs and attorneys' fees
directly or indirectly incurred by the Trustee in any action against or involving the Trustee,

and records with respect thereto, and to take such memoranda from and in regard thereto as may
be desired, but the Trustee has no duty to inspect the Leased Property books or records. The
County further agrees that the Trustee shall have such rights of access to the Leased Property as
may be reasonably necessary to cause the proper maintenance of the Leased Property in the event
of failure by the County to perform its obligations under this Lease. The Indenture allows the
County to have the right at all reasonable times to examine and inspect all of the Trustee's books
and records with respect to the Leased Property and all funds and accounts held under the
Indenture.
Section 10.08 Rights to Inspect Books. The County and its representatives shall have the
right to examine and inspect the books and records of the Trustee relating to the Leased Property

Certificates. Subject to appropriation and to the extent permitted by law, the County covenants
and agrees to comply with any applicable covenants, provisions and obligations set forth in the
Indenture. The County acknowledges and consents to the execution and delivery and sale of the

or if any lien or claim for lien in favor of any governmental entity or agency as a result of
any release of any Hazardous Substance is threatened, the County, at its sole cost and
expense, shall,within 10 days of such finding, deliver written notice thereof to the Trustee
and shall promptly remove such Hazardous Substances and prevent the imposition of any
liens against the Leased Property for the cleanup of any Hazardous Materials. Such
removal shall be conducted and completed in compliance with all applicable federal, state
and local laws, regulations, rules, ordinances and policies in accordance with the orders
and directives of all federal, state and local governmental authorities.

the cause or causes preventing the County from carrying out its agreements;
provided that the settlement of strikes, lockouts and other industrial disturbances
shall be entirely within the discretion of the County.

happened and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period, the Trustee may (subject to its

(f) The Trustee shall also be entitled, upon any Event of Lease Default,to any

Section 13.04 No Remedy Exclusive. Subject to Section 13.03, no remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, is intended to be exclusive,and every such remedy shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon
any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but
any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. In order to entitle the Trustee to exercise any remedy reserved in this Article, it shall
not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article.
Section 13.05 Waivers. Subject to the terms of the Indenture,the Trustee may waive any
Event of Lease Default under this Lease and its consequences, as the Trustee deems to be in the
best interest of the Certificate owners. In the event that any agreement contained herein should be
breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to
the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.
Payment of Base Rentals or Additional Rentals by the County shall not constitute a waiver of any
breach or default by the Trustee hereunder.
Section 13.06 Agreement to Pay Attorneys' Fees and Expenses. In the event that either
party hereto shall default under any of the provisions hereof and the nondefaulting party shall
employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of Base Rentals or Additional Rentals,

defaulting party herein contained, the defaulting party agrees that it shall on demand therefor pay
to the nondefaulting party, to the extent permitted by law, the reasonable fees of such attorneys
and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by the nondefaulting party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any such fees and expenses owed by the County hereunder shall constitute Additional
Rentals for all purposes of this Lease and shall be subject to Appropriation.

Laws. To the extent permitted by law, in the case of an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of

will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or
redemption laws now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the
Indenture; and the County, for themselves and all who may at any time claim through or under
either of them, each hereby waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all
such laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that the County cannot and
does not hereby waive its right to set up,claim or seek to take advantage of its police powers or its
State constitutional or statutory right of eminent domain.

TAX COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES
TAX-EXEMPT GOVERNMENTAL BONDS
The Issuer's Finance Director (the "Oversight Officer") will be responsible for overall
administration and coordination of these procedures and policies.
A. Purpose
Issuers of tax-exempt "governmental bonds" must comply with federal tax rules pertaining to
expenditure of proceeds for qualified costs, rate of expenditure, use of bond-financed property,
investment of proceeds in compliance with arbitrage rules, and retention of records. The
following procedures and policies are intended to establish compliance by EAGLE COUNTY,
COLORADO (the "Issuer") with these rules in connection with the issuance of tax-exempt
governmental bonds. These Tax Compliance Procedures may also be used by the Issuer to
ensure compliance with federal tax rules for its currently outstanding tax-exempt governmental
bonds.
For purposes of these procedures "bonds" include not only the Issuer's bonds but also other
types of the Issuer's tax-exempt obligations, such as certificates of participation or capital lease-
purchase agreements.
B. Delegation of Responsibility
To the extent that any of the responsibilities set forth in these Tax Compliance Procedures are
delegated to any other party, the Issuer will keep a record of such delegations with respect to
each bond issue.
C. Schedule of Reviews
The Issuer will establish routines for monitoring on-going compliance that are consistent with
discovering any noncompliance in a timely manner so that it may be corrected. While specific
review processes are described in detail below,timing for such reviews will be as follows:
1. Private (Non-Exempt) Use: All contracts, leases or other arrangements providing
for "private business use" of bond-financed facilities will be reviewed prior to
execution to ensure that they will not cause private use limits to be exceeded with
respect to any issue of bonds.
2. Arbitrage Compliance: With respect to each bond issue, the Issuer will ensure
that it understands at the time of bond closing which funds and accounts
containing bond proceeds may become subject to yield-restriction investment
rules and will keep a record of the dates upon which such rules will begin to
apply.
3. Rebate Compliance: While rebate calculations may be performed more often, the
Issuer will ensure upon the fifth anniversary date of the issuance date of the
DMWEST#36881033 v1
Page 2 of 9
bonds, every five years thereafter, and upon final retirement of the bonds, that
either no rebate is owed or provision has been made for the payment of any rebate
owed within 60 days.
4. Change in Use/Ownership: Prior to executing any contract, lease or other
document which would materially change the use of the bond-financed project or
selling of any bond-financed property, the Issuer will (i) confirm that such change
will not require a remedial action to be taken with respect to any bond issue, (ii)
take a remedial action, if necessary, or (iii) discuss with bond counsel whether a
voluntary closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service is appropriate.
D. Tax Requirements Associated with Sale and Issuance of Bonds
Review and retention of tax documents related to the sale and issuance of bonds will be
supervised by the Oversight Officer.
1. Issue Price. The "issue price," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), of the bonds will be documented at the time of
issuance. Certifications of an underwriter, placement agent or purchaser and a
final numbers package (if applicable) will establish "issue price" and will be
reviewed and included in the bond transcript or other records maintained for the
bond issue.
2. Weighted Average Maturity. The weighted average maturity (taking into account
the various issue prices of the maturities of the bonds) will be documented at the
time of issuance.
3. Economic Life of Financed Assets. An estimated average economic life of the
expected bond-financed assets will be documented at the time of issuance.
4. Information Reporting. Form 8038-G will be reviewed and filed not later than the
15t" day of the 2nd calendar month following the quarter in which the bonds were
issued. Filing of the Form 8038-G will be confirmed with bond counsel.
E. Expenditure of Proceeds for Qualified Costs
Expenditure of bond proceeds will be reviewed by the Oversight Officer.
1. Requisitions. The Oversight Officer will establish a form and procedures for
preparation and review of requisitions of bond proceeds, and maintain records of
the date, amount and purpose of the disbursement. Requisitions must identify the
financed property in conformity with the Tax Certificate executed by the Issuer at
closing, including any certifications as to the location and character of the bond-
financed property.
2. Investment Earnings. Investment earnings on sale proceeds of the bonds will be
tracked and will be requisitioned only for appropriate expenditures.
DMWEST#36881033 v1
Page 3 of 9
3. Capital Expenditures. The Issuer will verify that all costs for which it requisitions
bond proceeds are capital expenditures, except as otherwise permitted by the Tax
Certificate executed by the Issuer at closing.
4. Debt Service Reserve Funds. Bond-funded reserve funds cannot exceed the least
of(i) 10% of the par amount of the bonds (or the issue price of the bonds, if there
is more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount or premium), (ii)
maximum annual debt service, and (iii) 125% of average annual debt service.
The initial funding of any reserve fund will be measured against this limit.
5. Reimbursement. Requisitions for costs that were paid prior to the issuance of the
bonds are, in general, limited to costs paid subsequent to, or not more than 60
days prior to,the date a"declaration of intent"to reimburse the costs was adopted
by the Issuer. If proceeds are used for reimbursement, a copy of the declaration
will be obtained and included in the records for the bonds, if not already part of
the bond transcript.
6. Final Allocation. Requisitions will be summarized in a "final allocation" of
proceeds to uses not later than 18 months after the in-service date of the financed
property (and in any event not later than 5 years and 60 days after the issuance of
the bonds).
7. Timing of Expenditures. Expenditure of proceeds will be measured against the
Issuer's expectations, as set forth in the Tax Certificate executed in connection
with the particular bond issue, to spend or commit 5% of net sale proceeds within
6 months, to spend 85% of net sale proceeds within 3 years, and to proceed with
due diligence to complete the project and fully spend the net sale proceeds.
Expected expenditure schedules, project timelines, and plans and specifications
will be maintained to support expectations. Reasons for failure to meet the
expected schedule will be documented and retained in the records for the bonds.
8. Rebate Spending Exceptions. Expenditure of proceeds will be monitored for
compliance with spending exceptions to the rebate requirement, as follows:
a. If the six-month spending exception applies, expenditure of gross proceeds
will be monitored against the following schedule.
100%within 6 months
b. If the 18-month spending exception applies, expenditure of gross proceeds
will be monitored against the following schedule.
15%within 6 months
60%within 12 months
100%within 18 months
DMWEST#36881033 v1
Page 4,of 9
c. If the two-year spending exception applies, expenditure of "available
construction proceeds"will be measured against the following schedule.
10%within 6 months
45%within 12 months
75%within 18 months
100%within 24 months
F. Use of Bond-Financed Property
Use of bond-financed property when completed and placed in service will be reviewed by the
Oversight Officer. Use of bond-financed property must be measured separately for each bond
issue.
1. Limit on Private (Non-Exempt) Use. Average annual private use of bond-
financed property over the life of the issue cannot exceed 10% of the proceeds (or
5% if the use is unrelated to the governmental use or disproportionate to the
governmental use). Private use will be determined annually as a percentage of
total use of proceeds of the bond issue.
2. Review of Contracts and Agreements. Contracts and agreements with private
business users for the lease, management, sponsored research, or any other
potential private/non-exempt use of bond-financed property will be reviewed
prior to execution for compliance with the private use limits. This review will
include a determination of whether any arrangement meets the safe harbors of
Internal Revenue Service Rev. Proc. 97-13, as modified by Rev. Proc. 2001-39
and Notice 2014-67, Revenue Procedure 2017-13 or, with respect to research
arrangements, Rev. Proc. 2007-47, all as applicable. It will also include a
determination of whether any arrangement meets the exception for incidental use
under Treas. Reg. § 1.141-3(d)(5), the exception for general public use under
Treas. Reg. § 1.141-3(c), or the exception for certain short-term arrangements
under Treas. Reg. § 1.141-3(d)(3).
3. Tracking Private (Non-Exempt) Use. Agreements with private business users or
non-profit organizations for lease or management or services contracts or other
private business use involving bond-financed property will be tracked and
aggregated with other private business uses for compliance with the 10% (or 5%)
limit, as set forth in the Tax Certificate for the applicable bonds.
4. Change in Use. No item of bond-financed property will be sold or transferred to a
non-exempt party without advance arrangement of a "remedial action" under the
applicable Treasury Regulations (see Treasury Regulations § 1.141-12).
G. Investments and IRS Filings
DMWEST#36881033 v1
Page 5 of 9
Investment of bond proceeds in compliance with the arbitrage bond rules and rebate of arbitrage
will be supervised by the Oversight Officer.
1. Guaranteed Investment Contracts. Guaranteed investment contracts ("GIG") will
be purchased only using the three-bid "safe harbor" (see Treasury Regulations §
1.148-5(d)(6)(iii)), in compliance with fee limitations on GIC brokers (see
Treasury Regulations § 1.148-5(e)(2)(iii)); provided, however, that to the extent
that the safe harbor provisions cannot be met, the Issuer will consult with bond
counsel.
2. Fair Market Value of Investments. Other investments will be purchased only in
market transactions.
3. Yield-Restriction. Prior to the purchase of any investment,the Issuer will confirm
that such purchase will not violate any rules relating to proceeds which must be
invested a yield not in excess of the yield on the applicable issue of bonds.
4. Rebate Calculations. Calculations of rebate liability will be performed by the
Issuer or outside consultants at the end of construction and at least every fifth
bond year.
5. Rebate Payments. Rebate payments will be made with Form 8038-T no later than
60 days after (a) each fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the applicable
bonds and (b) the final retirement of the issue. Compliance with rebate
requirements will be reported to the bond trustee, if applicable.
6. First Rebate Due Date. The date for the first rebate payment will be identified
and entered in the records for the issue at time of issuance of the bonds.
H. Refunding Issues
When tax-exempt governmental bonds are used to refund other bonds ("Refunded Bonds"), the
new bonds ("Refunding Bonds") will be treated as having financed the property originally
financed with the Refunded Bonds (or any bonds refunded by the Refunded Bonds), such that
financed property must be tracked until the last bonds (whether Refunded Bonds or Refunding
Bonds) attributable to that property are retired. The Oversight Officer will continue reviewing
the use of the any bond-financed property until the last bonds attributable to that property are
retired; except to the extent that tracking is no longer required due to the economic life of the
property coming to an end.
I. Short-Term Working Capital Financings
To the extent that the Issuer is issuing short-term obligations to finance restricted working capital
expenditures (meaning non-capital expenditures of the Issuer for which no exception to Treasury
Regulations § 1.148-6(d)(3)(i) applies)("Working Capital Financing"), the Issuer will follow the
following rules:
DMWEST#36881033 v1
Page 6 of 9
1. Proceeds Spent Last. The Issuer will not allocate proceeds of its Working Capital
Financing to expenditures to the extent that it has other "available amounts" to
pay such expenditures.
a. For this purpose, "available amounts", include any amounts that are
available to the Issuer for working capital expenditures of the type being
financed; however, "available amounts" does not include amounts that
may not be used by the issuer for working capital purposes without
legislative or judicial action, or amounts that have a legislative,judicial, or
contractual requirement that those amounts be reimbursed. (See Treasury
Regulation § 1.148-6(d)(3)(iii)(A).)
b. For this purpose, reasonable working capital reserves are treated as
unavailable. A working capital reserve is reasonable if it does not exceed
5% of the actual working capital expenditure of the Issuer in the prior
fiscal year. (See Treasury Regulation § 1.148-6(d)(3)(iii)(B).)
c. If the Issuer has not historically maintained a working capital reserve,then
the Issuer will consult with bond counsel regarding whether it can treat a
reasonable working capital reserve as unavailable. An example of how to
determine whether the Issuer historically maintained a working capital
reserve would be to average the beginning or ending monthly balances
available for working capital expenditures (not including the proceeds of
any bond issues) during the one year period preceding the Working
Capital Financing. (See Treasury Regulation § 1.148-1(c)(4)(ii).)
2. Restricted Funds. To the extent that the Issuer has funds which are available, but
restricted (as discussed in 1.b. above), the Issuer will document why it treated
such funds as unavailable by keeping a list of such funds and the restrictions that
are applicable to them. The Issuer will re-evaluate such funds prior to the
issuance of a Working Capital Financing and prior to a final allocation of
proceeds of a Working Capital Financing to ensure that such funds should still be
treated as unavailable.
3. Investment of Proceeds. If any proceeds of a Working Capital Financing remain
unexpended 13 months after the issuance of the Working Capital Financing, such
proceeds will be invested at yield not exceeding the yield on the Working Capital
Financing; unless the Tax Certificate provides otherwise, or upon the advice of
bond counsel.
4. Rebate. The Issuer will calculate and pay any rebate owed (as provided in
Section G above) to the extent that the issuer has not spent 100% of the proceeds
of the Working Capital Financing within six months of the issuance of the
Working Capital Financing; provided, however, for this purpose, the proceeds of
the Working Capital Financing will be considered spent if the Issuer achieves a
cumulative cash flow deficit greater than 90% of the proceeds of the Working
Capital Financing within the period beginning on the issue date of the Working
DMWEST#36881033 v1
Page 7 of 9
Capital Financing and ending on the earlier of the date the deficit is achieved and
six months after the issue date of the Working Capital Financing. "Cumulative
cash flow deficit" means the excess of(i) expenses paid during the period which
would ordinarily be paid out of or financed by anticipated tax or other revenues,
over(ii)the aggregate amount available (other than from proceeds of the Working
Capital Financing) during such period for the payment of such expenses. (See
Section 148(f)(4)(b)(iii).) For purposes of achieving the 90% cumulative cash
flow deficit test, working capital reserves are treated as available.
5. Records. The Issuer will maintain a final allocation of proceeds showing that it
spent the proceeds of the Working Capital Bonds using the proceeds spent last
method (described in paragraph 1 above). If the Issuer did not spend 100% of the
proceeds of the Working Capital Financing within six months of issuance, the -
Issuer should also maintain records showing either (i) that it met the 90%
cumulative cash flow deficit test within the applicable period, or (ii) maintain
records showing the calculation and payment(if any) of rebate.
J. Post-Issuance Corrective Actions
The Issuer expects that its compliance with the procedures outlined above will prevent any
violations of federal tax rules pertaining to the Issuer's outstanding tax-exempt governmental
bonds (including any Refunded Bonds). However, if the Issuer discovers a potential violation
through its ongoing monitoring or otherwise, it will determine in conjunction with its bond
counsel whether a violation actually exists. If it is found that a violation actually exists, the
issuer will determine whether (i) any remedial actions are available, or (ii) a voluntary closing
agreement with the Internal Revenue Service is appropriate. Common examples of violations are
as follows:
a. Failure to purchase 0% SLGs at the appropriate time.
b. Subsequent sale or other change in use of bond-financed property.
c. Private (non-exempt) use of bond-financed property resulting in overall
private use not expected at closing and in excess of the 10% (or 5%) de
minimis limit for the particular bond issue.
d. Post-issuance change in the terms of the bonds without proper reissuance
analysis and actions, if necessary.
e. Post-issuance purchase of the bonds by the Issuer, a borrower of bond
proceeds or a related party to either, resulting in an extinguishment of the
bonds without proper analysis and actions, if necessary.
f. Failure to pay rebate in a timely manner.
g. Improper reimbursement of expenditures (too old or not capital).
DMWEST#36881033 v1
Page 8 of 9
K. Records
Management and retention of records related to tax-exempt bond issues will be supervised by the
Oversight Officer.
1. Records will be retained for the life of the bonds plus any Refunding Bonds plus
three (3) years. This means that the Issuer will maintain records regarding
Refunded Bonds until three years after the final Refunding Bonds (including
through a series of refundings) is retired. Records may be in the form of
documents or electronic copies of documents, appropriately indexed to specific
bond issues and compliance functions.
2. Retainable records generally include:
a. The transcript documents executed in connection with the issuance of the
bonds (including the authorizing documents, offering materials, Form
8038-G, and the Tax Certificate, and any elections made with respect to
the bonds, if applicable) and any amendments to such documents.
b. Records of expenditures of bond proceeds include requisitions, account
statements and the final allocation of proceeds.
c. Records of the use of bond-financed property, including all agreements
reviewed for private use.
d. Records pertaining to investments including GIC documents under the
Treasury Regulations, records of purchase and sale of other investments,
SLGS subscriptions, and records of investment activity sufficient to permit
calculation of arbitrage rebate or demonstration that no rebate is due.
e. Records pertaining to rebate calculations and all rebated amounts paid to
the United States Treasury.
f. Documentation evidencing sources of payment or security for the bond
issue.
L. Training
The Issuer will use its best efforts to ensure that any officers and employees responsible for
carrying out these procedures are properly trained for that responsibility. Such training will
include:
1. Ensuring access to the necessary records.
2. Ensuring that such persons have reviewed a copy of these procedures and the tax
certificates and Forms 8038-G related to the relevant bond issues.
DMWEST#36881033 v1
Page 9 of 9
3. Permitting attendance on free educational conference calls or webinars sponsored
by the Internal Revenue Service, bond-related professional associations or law
firms.
4. Permitting access to free educational websites, such as:
http://www.irs.gov/taxexemptbond/index.html
Cost permitting, such training may also include attendance at educational conferences and
maintaining tax-exempt bond-related reference materials.

The County
The County is a political subdivision of the State of Colorado (the "State"). The County, which
includes the resort communities of Vail (Vail ski area) and Avon (Beaver Creek ski area), is located
approximately 100 miles west of Denver, Colorado in the Rocky Mountains. The County encompasses
approximately 1,694 square miles and spans from the summit of Vail Pass west to Glenwood Canyon,and
from the Town of Basalt north to the community of McCoy. Approximately 80%of the land in the County
is publicly owned and is controlled primarily by the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management. According to the State Demography Office,the County had an estimated full-time population
*Preliminary;subject to change.
of 54,662 in 2017. However, due to the resort communities within the County and its status as a tourism
destination,the peak seasonal population may be higher.
The governing body of the County,the Board of County Commissioners(the"Board"), exercises
the constitutional and statutory powers granted to the County. See"THE COUNTY."
Purpose of the Series 2019 Certificates
Proceeds from the sale of the Series 2019 Certificates will be used to finance the costs of

Certificates. See"SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS."
The Project to be financed from the proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates consists of a 22-unit
workforce housing building, known as Two10 at Castle Peak, which will be located on property currently
owned by the Eagle County Housing and Development Authority. Two10 at Castle Peak is expected to
contain 15 1-bedroom+ den units, 5 1-bedroom units, and 2 2-bedroom units. The Project is expected to
include approximately 23,748 square feet (gross) and be made up of two identical floors, plus a partial
basement that will provide individual storage units for each apartment. TwolO at Castle Peak is also
expected to contain an elevator and surface parking for residents. Two10 at Castle Peak will be located in
the Town of Eagle, Colorado and is within walking distance of local schools, shops, restaurants, bike, and
walking paths. The project architect and planner is JV DeSousa LLC,Boulder,Colorado,and the contractor
is FCI Constructors Inc. from Grand Junction, Colorado. Construction is expected to begin in May 2019
and be completed in June 2020.

2
Sources of Payment for the Series 2019 Certificates
General. The Series 2019 Certificates and the interest thereon are payable solely from annually
budgeted and appropriated Base Rentals, and certain other Revenues received by the Trustee pursuant to
the Lease and Indenture, which include: (a) all amounts payable by or on behalf of the County or with
respect to the Leased Property pursuant to the Lease including, but not limited to, all Base Rentals,
Prepayments,the Purchase Option Price, and Net Proceeds, but not including Additional Rentals; (b) any
portion of the proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates and any Additional Certificates delivered pursuant
to the Indenture deposited into the Base Rentals Fund created under the Indenture; (c) any moneys which
may be derived from any insurance in respect of the Series 2019 Certificates and any Additional Certificates
delivered pursuant to the Indenture; and(d)any moneys and securities, including investment income,held
by the Trustee in the funds and accounts established under the Indenture(except for moneys and securities
held in the Rebate Fund or any defeasance escrow account). See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF
PAYMENT."
Under the Indenture, the Trustee, for the benefit of the Owners of the Series 2019 Certificates, is
to receive Base Rentals payable by the County under the Lease.The amount and timing of the Base Rentals
are designed to provide sufficient money to the Trustee to pay the principal of and interest on the Series
2019 Certificates when due. The Trustee is to deposit to the Base Rentals Fund created under the Indenture
all amounts payable by or on behalf of the County or with respect to the Leased Property pursuant to the
Lease,including all Base Rentals,Prepayments,the Purchase Option Price,and Net Proceeds.
The Lease provides that upon annual appropriation, the County's obligation to pay Base Rentals
and Additional Rentals to the extent and for the fiscal year so budgeted and appropriated,will be absolute
and unconditional, and may not be abated through accident or unforeseen circumstances, nor may the
County under the Lease assert any right of set-off or counterclaim against its obligation to make such annual
payments.
None of the Lease, the Improvement Lease, the Series 2019 Certificates or any interest
thereon constitutes a debt or multiple fiscal year direct or indirect debt or other financial obligation
whatsoever of the County or the State within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation
or requirement. None of the Series 2019 Certificates,the Indenture,the Lease, or the Improvement
Lease directly or indirectly obligates the County to make any payment of any amounts in excess of
amounts budgeted and appropriated for any fiscal year.
Sources of Payment of Base Rentals. Amounts due under the Lease are payable from all general
revenues of the County and no particular revenues of the County are pledged to the payment of Base
Rentals. The County currently intends to budget, appropriate, and pay the Base Rentals (and Additional
Rentals, if any) allocable to the Series 2019 Certificates from legally available funds in Capital
Improvements Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Base Rentals and Additional Rentals may be
budgeted, appropriated, and paid from any of the County's available funds in the future, including legally
available funds in the General Fund.However,no revenues of the County,including revenues derived from
the sources described below,are specifically pledged to pay the Base Rentals.See"COUNTY FINANCIAL
INFORMATION" for more information regarding the County's funds and for information regarding ad
valorem property tax revenues and sales tax revenues of the County,which comprise the source of funding
for the Capital Improvements Fund. See also APPENDIX A.
Lease Termination. The Lease constitutes a one-year lease of the Leased Property, which is
annually renewable for additional one-year terms as described in the Lease. The County must take action
annually to renew the Lease term for another year. If the County fails to take such action, the Lease
automatically will be terminated. The County's decision to terminate its obligations under the Lease will
3
be determined by the failure of the Board to specifically budget and appropriate moneys to pay all Base
Rentals and reasonably estimated Additional Rentals for the ensuing Fiscal Year. The County Budget
Officer or other officer of the County at any time charged with the responsibility of formulating budget
proposals for the County is directed in the Lease to include in the annual budget proposals submitted to the
Board, in any year in which the Lease is in effect, items for all payments required for the ensuing Renewal
Term under the Lease until such time, if any, as the County determines to not renew and to terminate the
Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the County that any decision to appropriate the
Base Rentals and Additional Rentals is to be made solely by the Board in its absolute discretion and not by
any other official of the County.
If prior to the beginning of any fiscal year of the County,the County fails to budget and appropriate
sufficient funds for the Base Rentals and such Additional Rentals,as are estimated to become due as
described in the Lease,the County will be considered to have exercised its option not to renew the Lease,
and the Lease will terminate(subject to certain waiver and cure provisions thereof). Upon termination of
the County's obligations under the Lease, the Trustee will attempt to sell its leasehold interest in the
property or sublease the Leased Property or any portion thereof or exercise any other remedies available to
the Trustee. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT—Remedies in Event of Termination of
the Lease Term"and Section 13.02 of the form of the Lease included in APPENDIX B—FORMS OF THE
LEASE, THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE, AND THE INDENTURE hereto. The net proceeds of such
dispositions will be applied toward the payment of the Series 2019 Certificates. There can be no assurance
that such proceeds will be sufficient to pay all principal and interest due on the Series 2019 Certificates.
Improvement Lease; Termination of the Improvement Lease. The County and the Trustee will
enter into an Improvement Lease prior to the issuance of the Series 2019 Certificates(the "Improvement
Lease"),pursuant to which the County will lease to the Trustee the Leased Property. Pursuant to the Lease,
the County will lease the Leased Property back from the Trustee, as further described herein.At the end of
the term of the Improvement Lease, all right,title,and interest of the Trustee, or any sublessee or assignee
in and to the Leased Property will vest in the County.
The Improvement Lease is to terminate on the earliest to occur of the following: (a)the termination
of the Lease Term as provided in the Lease due to the payment of the Purchase Option Price by the County,
or upon payment by the County of all Base Rentals and Additional Rentals for the entire Lease Term; (b)
discharge of the Indenture after payment of the Series 2019 Certificates; or (c) December 31, 20_*. The
Leased Property will no longer be subject to the provisions of the Improvement Lease, the Lease, or the
Indenture upon the termination of the Improvement Lease. See "CERTAIN RISK FACTORS—Limited
Duration of Improvement Lease" and the Improvement Lease included in APPENDIX B—FORMS OF
THE LEASE,THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE,AND THE INDENTURE.
Leased Property. The Leased Property is comprised of following buildings at the County's
Maintenance Service Center in the Town of Gypsum, Colorado: (a) Facilities Building - Building H
(approximately 14,000 square feet), used as maintenance workshop, storage, and offices; and (b)
Maintenance Center - Building C (approximately 27,494 square feet), used as mechanical and body
workshop, storage, and offices. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT—The Leased
Property"for more information.
Substitution of Leased Property. So long as no Event of Default or Event of Nonappropriation has
occurred and is continuing, the County is entitled to substitute any improved or unimproved real estate in
place of the Leased Property after satisfying the conditions set forth in the Lease. See Section 8.08 of the
*Preliminary;subject to change.

form of the Lease included in APPENDIX B—FORMS OF THE LEASE,THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE,
AND THE INDENTURE.
Purchase Option Price. The County will have the option to purchase the Trustee's leasehold
interest in the Leased Property pursuant to the Lease and terminate the Improvement Lease and the Lease
by paying the Purchase Option Price,which is equal to the amount necessary to pay all principal and interest
due on all outstanding Series 2019 Certificates and any other amounts necessary to defease and discharge
the Indenture, as provided in the Lease. See Section 6.03 of the form of the Lease included in APPENDIX
B—FORMS OF THE LEASE, THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE,AND THE INDENTURE.The Trustee is
required to use the Purchase Option Price to pay the principal, interest, and premium on the Series 2019
Certificates. See"THE SERIES 2019 CERTIFICATES—Redemption."
Additional Certificates
The Indenture permits the execution and delivery of Additional Certificates for the purpose of
refunding all or a portion of the Series 2019 Certificates without notice to or approval of the owners of the
outstanding Series 2019 Certificates under the circumstances described in"SECURITY AND SOURCES
OF PAYMENT—Additional Certificates."

continuing compliance with the requirements of the federal tax laws. The Certificate Interest Portion is not
a preference item for purposes of the individual alternative minimum tax. To the extent that the Certificate
Interest Portion is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, the Certificate Interest
Portion is also excludable from gross income for State of Colorado income tax purposes and from the
calculation of State of Colorado alternative minimum taxable income. The Series 2019 Certificates are
being designated by the County as qualified tax-exempt obligations under Section 265(b)(3)of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986,as amended,relating to the deductibility of a financial institution's interest expenses
allocable to tax-exempt interest. See"TAX MATTERS"herein.

CERTAIN RISK FACTORS
INVESTMENT IN THE SERIES 2019 CERTIFICATES INVOLVES RISK. PROSPECTIVE
INVESTORS IN THE SERIES 2019 CERTIFICATES SHOULD READ THIS ENTIRE OFFICIAL
STATEMENT AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER ALL POSSIBLE FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT
THEIR INVESTMENT DECISION. THE RISK FACTORS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION SET
FORTH MANY OF THE POTENTIAL RISKS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SERIES 2019
CERTIFICATES THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE SERIES 2019
CERTIFICATES,BUT DOES NOT PROVIDE AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF SUCH FACTORS.
Each prospective investor is urged to consult with its own legal, tax, and financial advisors to
determine whether an investment in the Series 2019 Certificates is appropriate in light of its individual
legal,tax,and financial situation.
Each prospective investor in the Series 2019 Certificates is encouraged to read this Official
Statement in its entirety and to give particular attention to the factors described below which could affect
the payment of rentals under the Lease and could affect the market price of the Series 2019 Certificates to
an extent that cannot be determined at this time.
General
The purchase of the Series 2019 Certificates involves certain risk factors, which are discussed
throughout this Official Statement, and each prospective investor should make an independent evaluation
of all information presented in this Official Statement in order to make an informed investment decision.
The Series 2019 Certificates should only be purchased by investors who can bear the continuing risk of an
*Preliminary;subject to change.
7
investment in the Series 2019 Certificates. Particular attention should be given to the risk factors described
below,which,among others,could affect the payment of debt service on the Series 2019 Certificates when
due.
No Assurance of Secondary Market
No assurance can be given concerning the future existence of a secondary market for the Series
2019 Certificates and prospective purchasers of the Series 2019 Certificates should,therefore,be prepared,
if necessary, to hold the Series 2019 Certificates to maturity or prior redemption. Even if a secondary
market exists, as any marketable securities,there can be no assurance as to the price for which the Series
2019 Certificates may be sold. Such price may be lower than that paid by the initial purchaser of the Series
2019 Certificates.
Prospective purchasers of the Series 2019 Certificates should look to the ability of the County to
pay Base Rentals pursuant to the Lease;such Base Rentals will provide funds for payment of principal and
interest on the Series 2019 Certificates. The County is not obligated to pay Base Rentals or Additional
Rentals under the Lease unless funds are budgeted and appropriated for such rentals by the County each
year. Each annual term of the Lease is scheduled to expire on December 31 of each year,subject to annual
renewal by the County for successive annual terms ending each December 31, with a final annual term
expiring December 31, 20_*. If, by the last date of each Fiscal Year, the County does not specifically
budget and appropriate amounts sufficient to pay all Base Rentals due in the next Fiscal Year, and to pay
such Additional Rentals as are estimated to become due in the next Fiscal Year, an "Event of
Nonappropriation" occurs. If an Event of Nonappropriation occurs, as described above or otherwise as
provided in the Lease,the County is deemed to have exercised its option not to renew the Lease and to have
terminated its obligations under the Lease. Under the terms of the Lease,in addition to other circumstances,
an Event of Nonappropriation may be declared by the Trustee if the County fails to budget and appropriate
sufficient funds to repair and replace the Leased Property or to pay the Purchase Option Price following
certain events of damage, destruction, or condemnation of the Leased Property. See Section 6.07 of the
form of the Lease included in "APPENDIX B—FORMS OF THE LEASE, THE IMPROVEMENT
LEASE,AND THE INDENTURE." The Trustee may waive an Event of Nonappropriation which is cured
by the County within a reasonable time. It is expected that such a waiver would be made only under
extraordinary circumstances, such as a delay in the approval of the County's Budget. See Section 6.07 of
the form of the Lease included in "APPENDIX B—FORMS OF THE LEASE, THE IMPROVEMENT
LEASE,AND THE INDENTURE—The Lease."
Various political, legal and economic factors could lead to the failure by the County to budget and
appropriate sufficient funds to make the required payments under the Lease, and prospective investors
should carefully consider any factors which may influence the budgetary process. The budgeting of funds
may be affected by the County's continuing need for the Leased Property and by various factors affecting
the County and its need for the Leased Property. There is no assurance that the County will budget and
appropriate sufficient funds to pay Base Rentals and Additional Rentals each year, and the County has no
obligation to do so. In addition,the ability of the County to maintain adequate revenues for its operations
and obligations in general (including obligations associated with the Lease) is dependent upon several
factors outside the County's control, such as the general economy, the assessed value of property in the
County(which may be affected by numerous factors, including without limitation,increasing foreclosures
and general market downturns), tax collections, and federal and state funding. In addition, restrictions
imposed under the State Constitution on the County's revenues and spending apply to the collection and
expenditure of revenues to pay Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, and may impact the ability to
*Preliminary;subject to change.

appropriate sufficient funds to pay Base Rentals and Additional Rentals each year.It is impossible to predict
changes to national, State or local economic conditions or predict whether or how existing or future
economic conditions will affect the County's finances in general or the Board's decision each year to
appropriate funds to pay Base Rends and Additional Rentals. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF
PAYMENT"and"COUNTY FINANCIAL INFORMATION."
The obligation of the County to pay Base Rentals and Additional Rentals is limited to those County
funds that are specifically budgeted and appropriated by the County for such purpose. The County Budget
Officer or other officer of the County at any time charged with the responsibility of formulating budget
proposals for the County is directed in the Lease to include in the annual budget proposals submitted to the
Board, in any year in which the Lease is in effect,items for all payments required for the ensuing Renewal
Term under the Lease until such time, if any, as the County determines to not renew and to terminate the
Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the County that any decision to appropriate the
Base Rentals and Additional Rentals is to be made solely by the Board in its absolute discretion and not by
any other official of the County. See Section 4.02 of the form of the Lease included in APPENDIX B—
FORMS OF THE LEASE,THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE,AND THE INDENTURE.
Effect of a Termination of the Lease Term
In the event of termination of the County's obligations under the Lease upon the occurrence of an
Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of Lease Default,the County is required to vacate and surrender the
Leased Property by March 1 of any Renewal Term in respect of which an Event of Nonappropriation or an
Event of Lease Default has occurred. If an Event of Lease Default shall have occurred and remain uncured,
the Trustee may take any of the following actions: (a) terminate the Lease Term and give notice to the
County to vacate and surrender possession of the Leased Property which vacation and surrender the County
agrees under the Lease to complete within 90 days from the date of such notice (in the event the County
does not vacate and surrender possession on the termination date,the "holdover tenant" provisions of the
Lease shall apply); (b) lease or sublease the Leased Property or sell or assign any interest the Trustee has
in the Leased Property, including the Trustee's leasehold interest in the Leased Property pursuant to the
Improvement Lease; (c) recover from the County (i)the portion of Base Rentals and Additional Rentals,
for which a specific Appropriation has been effected by the County for such purpose, which would
otherwise have been payable under the Lease,during any period in which the County continues to occupy,
use or possess the Leased Property; and (ii) Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, for which a specific
Appropriation has been effected by the County for such purpose,which would otherwise have been payable
by the County under the Lease during the remainder,after the County vacates and surrenders possession of
the Leased Property, of the Fiscal Year in which such Event of Lease Default occurs;or(d)take whatever
action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to enforce its rights in and to the Leased
Property under the Improvement Lease,the Lease and the Indenture.
The Lease places certain limitations on the availability of money damages against the County as a
remedy. For example, the Lease provides that a judgment requiring a payment of money may be entered
against the County by reason of an Event of Nonappropriation only to the extent the County fails to vacate
the Leased Property as required by the Lease and only as to certain liabilities as described in the Lease. All
property, funds and rights acquired by the Trustee upon the termination of the Lease, along with other
moneys then held by the Trustee under the Indenture(with certain exceptions as provided in the Lease and
the Indenture), are required to be used to redeem the outstanding Series 2019 Certificates, if and to the
extent any such moneys are realized. See Article XIII of the form of the Lease included in "APPENDIX
B—FORMS OF THE LEASE, THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE, AND THE INDENTURE" and "THE
SERIES 2019 CERTIFICATES—Redemption Provisions."
9
The Leased Property is intended to be used by the County for governmental purposes. Because of
such use and the delays inherent in obtaining foreclosure upon property through the courts, a potential
purchaser of the Series 2019 Certificates should not anticipate that the Trustee's remedies under the Lease
and the Indenture could be accomplished rapidly. Delays in the Trustee's ability to sell, lease, or sublease
the Leased Property could potentially result in delays in the payment of the Series 2019 Certificates.
A potential purchaser of the Series 2019 Certificates should not assume that it will be possible for
the Trustee to sublease the Leased Property or otherwise sell or dispose of its leasehold interest in the
Leased Property, or any portion thereof after a termination of the Lease Term,for an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of the Series 2019 Certificates then outstanding plus accrued interest thereon.
In addition, the Improvement Lease may terminate before the Trustee is able to fully recover the amount
sufficient to pay the Series 2019 Certificates in full. This may be due to the inability to recover certain of
the costs incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Series 2019 Certificates or the
acquisition of the Leased Property. Present or future zoning requirements,environmental requirements,or
other land use regulations may also restrict use of the Leased Property. See"SECURITY AND SOURCES
OF PAYMENT—The Leased Property"and the Improvement Lease included in"APPENDIX B—FORMS
OF THE LEASE, THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE, AND THE INDENTURE." No arrangements have
been made for an alternate purchaser or lessee of the Leased Property should the County terminate the
Lease. Upon termination of the Lease,there is no assurance of any payment of the Series 2019 Certificates
or interest on the Series 2019 Certificates by the County or the Trustee. There is no guarantee that the
insured value will be equal to the amount of the Series 2019 Certificates. No appraisals of the Leased
Property have been completed.See"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT—The Leased Property"
for a discussion of the insured value of the Leased Property.
IF THE SERIES 2019 CERTIFICATES ARE REDEEMED SUBSEQUENT TO A
TERMINATION OF THE LEASE TERM FOR AN AMOUNT LESS THAN THE AGGREGATE
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT THEREOF AND ACCRUED INTEREST THEREON, SUCH PARTIAL
PAYMENT WILL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A REDEMPTION IN FULL OF THE SERIES 2019
CERTIFICATES PURSUANT TO THE INDENTURE; AND UPON SUCH A PARTIAL PAYMENT,
NO OWNER OF ANY SERIES 2019 CERTIFICATE WILL HAVE ANY FURTHER CLAIMS FOR
PAYMENT UPON THE TRUSTEE OR THE COUNTY.
Zoning and other Use Restrictions
The 20-acre parcel upon which the Leased Property is located is currently zoned in accordance with
the Gypsum Municipal Code as an"Institutional District."An institutional district is intended to identify
and perpetuate the existence of public parks,recreation facilities,playgrounds and public and quasi-public
buildings, whether publicly owned or leased. In certain circumstances, the Gypsum Municipal Code
provides that it may be appropriate to allow and encourage institutional uses to develop on-site housing for
some of their employees.No assurance is provided that such zoning would not restrict the Trustee's ability
to sell its leasehold interest or sublease the Leased Property. Potential users of institutional district-zoned
property may be limited.
The Leased Property currently comprises only two of the many buildings making up the County's
Maintenance Service Center.No assurance is provided that the surrounding maintenance activity would not
restrict the Trustee's ability to sell its leasehold interest or sublease the Leased Property. Potential users of
the Leased Property may be limited.
10
Sources of Base Rentals and Additional Rentals are Limited to Specifically Appropriated Funds
The obligation of the County to pay Base Rentals and Additional Rentals is limited to those County
funds that are specifically budgeted and appropriated annually by the Board for such purpose. The Lease
directs the officer of the County charged at any time with the responsibility of formulating budget proposals
with respect to the Leased Property to include,in the annual budget proposals submitted to the Board,items
for all payments required under the Lease for the ensuing fiscal year,until such time(if any)as the County
determines not to renew and terminate the Lease. The County may not terminate the Lease with respect to
less than all of the Leased Property. Accordingly,a decision to terminate the Lease would mean the loss of the
use of all of the Leased Property. See"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT—The Leased Property."
The Lease provides that it is the intention of the County that any decision to effect an Appropriation
for the Base Rentals and Additional Rentals shall be made solely by the Board in its absolute discretion and not
by any other official of the County. See Article IV of the form of the Lease included in"APPENDIX B—
FORMS OF THE LEASE,THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE,AND THE INDENTURE." No provisions of
the Lease,the Series 2019 Certificates,or the Improvement Lease shall be construed or interpreted as
creating a debt or multiple fiscal year direct or indirect debt or other financial obligation whatsoever of
the County or the State within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or requirement.
None of the Lease,the Indenture,the Improvement Lease,or the Series 2019 Certificates have directly
or indirectly obligated the County or the State to make any payments beyond those budgeted and
appropriated for the County's then current fiscal year.
Factors that May Cause Insufficiency of Expected Sources of Payment of Base Rentals and
Additional Rentals
Economic and Other Factors Beyond the Control of the County. Although the County is not
obligated to pay Base Rentals and Additional Rentals from any particular revenue source, it is the current
expectation of the Board that Base Rentals and Additional Rentals will be paid (to the extent funds are
appropriated therefor each year)from amounts in the Capital Improvements Fund and, if needed,from the
General Fund. See"COUNTY FINANCIAL INFORMATION."
The major sources of available amounts in the Capital Improvements Fund are expected to be
revenues from the County's 1% sales tax and ad valorem property tax revenues. Each of these revenue
sources is subject to fluctuation,and may be impacted by adverse changes in national and local economic
and financial conditions generally, reductions in the rates of employment and economic growth in the
County, the State and the region, a decrease in rates of population growth and rates of residential and
commercial development in the County,the State and the region,annual snowfall/weather and various other
factors.
Collections of sales tax revenues are subject to fluctuations in consumer spending. Such
fluctuations cause sales tax revenues to increase along with the increasing prices brought about by inflation,
but also cause collections to be vulnerable to adverse economic conditions and reduced spending.
Consequently,the rate of sales tax collections can be expected to correspond generally to economic cycles.
The County has no control over general economic cycles and is unable to predict what general economic
factors or cycles will occur while the Series 2019 Certificates remain outstanding.
Reliance on Tourism and Ski Industry. The County is reliant upon tourism, including the ski
industry and associated real estate development,for generation of a large portion of its sales tax and property
tax revenues. Consequently, the County is vulnerable to factors which could cause the level of visitors to
decrease,including lack of snow,increases in the prices of lift tickets,decreases in accessibility to the Vail
and Beaver Creek ski areas(including reductions in flights,increases in the cost of air travel,and increases
11
in the price of gasoline or other factors making automobile travel more expensive), economic downturns,
unwillingness or inability of people to travel by air for any reason, and the ability of the ski industry to
remain solvent.
In addition, other circumstances (over which the County has no control) may adversely affect
tourist activity or general spending.Such circumstances may include,among others,unwillingness to travel
to the County due to terrorist attacks or other hostile acts occurring in the United States or other parts of the
world, a decrease in rates of population growth in the County, the State and the region and various other
factors.
Tax Increment Areas. There are currently urban renewal areas within the County. If additional
urban renewal areas are created and tax increment financing (sales or property tax) is authorized for use
within such areas, increases in the amount of property tax revenue available to the County will be limited
in the future.
Factors that Could Impact Value of Property if Lease is Terminated
The County will retain fee simple title to the Leased Property and the Trustee will have a leasehold
interest in the Leased Property pursuant to the Improvement Lease. Upon termination of the Lease while
any Series 2019 Certificates are still outstanding, the Trustee will have the right to use and possess the
Leased Property but only during the remaining term of the Improvement Lease. However, a potential
purchaser of the Series 2019 Certificates should not assume that it will be possible for the Trustee to
sublease the Leased Property or otherwise sell or dispose of its leasehold interest in the Leased Property,
or any portion thereof,for an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2019 Certificates
then outstanding plus accrued interest thereon or that such subleasing or disposal can be accomplished in
time to pay any installment of principal or interest on the Series 2019 Certificates when due or prior to
December 31,20_*,the termination date of the Improvement Lease.
The Leased Property is comprised of following buildings at the County's Maintenance Service
Center in Gypsum,Colorado: (a)Facilities Building-Building H(approximately 14,000 square feet),used
as maintenance workshop, storage, and offices; and (b) Maintenance Center-Building C (approximately
27,494 square feet),used as mechanical and body workshop, storage,and offices.Due to the limited utility
of the Leased Property for other uses,the Trustee may find it difficult or impossible to locate third parties
that are interested in accepting an assignment of the Trustee's rights in the Leased Property. See"—Zoning
and other Use Restrictions" above and "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT—The Leased
Property."
Under the Improvement Lease, in the event that(a)the Lease is terminated for any reason, (b)the
Improvement Leases not terminated, and(c)the Trustee subleases all or an portion of the Leased Property
or sells or assigns its interest in the Improvement Lease,the Trustee,or any purchaser,sublessee or assignee
of the Leased Property (including the leasehold interests of the Trustee resulting from the Improvement
Lease)are required to pay or cause to be paid when due,all such taxes,assessments or governmental charges
and maintain the Leased Property in good condition and working order and shall obtain and keep in force
(i) commercial general liability insurance against claims for persona injury, death, or damage to property
of others occurring on or in the Leased Property in an amount not less than $2,000,000 and (ii) property
insurance in an amount not less than the full replacement value of the Leased Property. However, the
Trustee's resources to pay for such obligations is limited to (A) the proceeds of any sale, subleasing or
assignment of the Leased Property,(B)the Trust Estate,or(C)other moneys furnished to the Trustee under
*
Preliminary;subject to change.
12
the Indenture. There is no assurance that if the Lease is terminated, the Trustee will have sufficient
resources to perform its obligations under the Improvement Lease.
The Leased Property may depreciate in value each year. However, it is not possible to predict
whether the depreciated value of the Leased Property will be equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Series 2019 Certificates, plus accrued interest thereon, at any particular future point in time.
There is no guarantee that the Trustee will be able to liquidate its interest in the Leased Property in an
amount equal to the amount of the Outstanding Series 2019 Certificates plus accrued interest thereon.
Limited Duration of Improvement Lease
The term of the Improvement Lease is years longer than the term of the Series 2019
Certificates. Upon termination of the Lease for any reason (including the occurrence of an Event of
Nonappropriation),the Trustee may assign its interest in the Improvement Lease and may foreclose through
the courts on,or sell,lease,sublease or otherwise liquidate or dispose of,its interest in the Leased Property.
The net proceeds received from those activities are to be applied to pay the Series 2019 Certificates.
However,due to the limited term of the Improvement Lease,the Trustee may find it difficult or impossible
to locate third parties that are interested in accepting an assignment of the Trustee's rights in the Leased
Property. Further,the limited term of the Improvement Lease may make it difficult or impossible for the
Trustee to collect revenues over the remaining term of the Improvement Lease in an amount sufficient to
pay the Series 2019 Certificates in full.
Enforceability of Remedies; Liquidation Delays
Under the Indenture and the Lease, the Trustee has the right to take possession of and dispose of
the Trustee's leasehold interest in the Leased Property upon a termination of the Lease while any Series
2019 Certificates are still Outstanding. However, the enforceability of the Lease is subject to applicable
bankruptcy laws, equitable principles affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and liens
securing such rights, and the police powers of the County. Because of the use of the Leased Property by
the County for the public welfare,a court in any action brought to enforce the remedy of the Trustee to take
possession of the Leased Property may delay such possession for an indefinite period, even though the
County may have terminated the Lease or be in default thereunder. The right of the Trustee to obtain
possession of the Leased Property and to sell, lease, or sublease portions of the Leased Property could be
delayed until appropriate alternative space is obtained by the County. As long as the Trustee is unable to
take possession of the Leased Property or any other projects or property which may subsequently be
approved in connection with the execution and delivery of Additional Certificates, it will be unable to
sublease or otherwise dispose of its leasehold interests in the Leased Property as permitted under the Lease
and the Indenture or to redeem or pay the Series 2019 Certificates except from funds otherwise available to
the Trustee under the Indenture. See"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT."
Effect of Termination on Exemption from Taxation and on Exemption from Registration
Special Counsel has specifically disclaimed any opinion as to the effect that termination of the
Lease may have upon the treatment for federal or State income tax purposes of amounts received by the
registered owners of the Series 2019 Certificates. There is no assurance that any amounts representing
interest received by the registered owners of the Series 2019 Certificates after termination of the Lease as
a consequence of an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of Default will be excludable from gross
income under federal or State laws. In view of past private letter rulings by the United States Department
of Treasury, registered owners of the Series 2019 Certificates should not assume that payments allocable
to interest received from the Series 2019 Certificates would be excludable from gross income for federal or
State income tax purposes.
13
— -
[[Special Counsel also has disclaimed any opinion as to the transferability of the Series 2019
Certificates under the federal securities laws after a termination of the Lease, and, upon such termination,
there is no assurance that registered owners of the Series 2019 Certificates would be able to transfer their
interests without compliance with federal securities laws.]][TO BE CONFIRMED]]
Condemnation Risk
In the mid-1990's, the City of Sheridan, Colorado ("Sheridan") exercised its eminent domain
powers to acquire property it previously had leased under an annually terminable lease purchase agreement.
By condemnation, Sheridan sought to acquire the property at a fraction of the remaining lease payments
(which would be paid to owners of certificates of participation in Sheridan's lease). Sheridan's
condemnation suit was successful; however, Sheridan was unable to pay the court-determined amount
representing the value of the property and eventually vacated the building in favor of the trustee. Sheridan
eventually reached a settlement with the trustee and reacquired possession of the administration building
from the trustee. Pursuant to this settlement, certificate holders reportedly received less than half of the
amounts due them under the certificates. The County considers the occurrence of a situation such as the
one described above to be unlikely because,unlike Sheridan,the County's tax base is not heavily dependent
upon a single taxpayer; however,there is no assurance that the Leased Property(or portions thereof)would
not be condemned in the future.
Casualty Risk
If all, substantially all or any portion of the Leased Property is damaged or destroyed by any
casualty, there is no assurance that casualty insurance proceeds and other available moneys of the County
will be sufficient either to repair or replace the damaged or destroyed property or to pay the Series 2019
Certificates, if the Series 2019 Certificates are called for mandatory redemption as a result of such casualty.
See "THE SERIES 2019 CERTIFICATES—Redemption Provisions." Delays in the receipt of casualty
insurance proceeds pertaining to the Leased Property or delays in the repair, restoration or replacement of
such property damaged or destroyed could have an adverse effect upon the ability of the County to make
timely rental payments under the Lease.
Insurance Risk
During the term of the Lease, the Lease requires that the County provide casualty, public liability
and property damage insurance for the Leased Property in an amount equal to the full replacement value of
the Leased Property. Such insurance policy or policies may have a deductible clause in an amount not to
exceed $150,000. The County is currently a participating member of the Colorado Counties Casualty and
Property Pool, a multi-line property and casualty self-insurance pool, that covers its existing property as
described in"THE COUNTY—Insurance";however,such policy is subject to annual renewal. The County
may provide such insurance through commercial policies or, in its discretion, through a qualified self-
insurance pool. For a description of the insurance requirements related to the Leased Property (including
requirements related to a qualified self-insurance pool), see Section 8.05 of the form of the Lease included
in "APPENDIX B—FORMS OF THE LEASE, THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE, AND THE
INDENTURE."
There is no assurance that, in the event the Lease is terminated as a result of damage to or
destruction of the Leased Property, moneys made available by reason of any such occurrence will be
sufficient to redeem the Series 2019 Certificates at a price equal to the principal amount thereof outstanding
plus accrued interest to the redemption date. See "THE SERIES 2019 CERTIFICATES—Redemption
Provisions."
14
Trustee's Limited Obligation
The Trustee has no assets or revenues available for payment of the Series 2019 Certificates other
than its right to use proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates under the Indenture,its rights to Base Rentals
and Additional Rentals under the Lease and its other rights and interests under the Indenture and the Lease.
Under the Improvement Lease, in the event that(a)the Lease is terminated for any reason, (b)the
Improvement Leases not terminated,and(c)the Trustee subleases all or an portion of the Leased Property
or sells or assigns its interest in the Improvement Lease,the Trustee,or any purchaser,sublessee or assignee
of the Leased Property (including the leasehold interests of the Trustee resulting from the Improvement
Lease)are required to pay or cause to be paid when due,all such taxes,assessments or governmental charges
and maintain the Leased Property in good condition and working order and shall obtain and keep in force
(i) commercial general liability insurance against claims for persona injury, death, or damage to property
of others occurring on or in the Leased Property in an amount not less than $2,000,000 and(ii) property
insurance in an amount not less than the full replacement value of the Leased Property. However, the
Trustee's resources to pay for such obligations is limited to (A) the proceeds of any sale, subleasing or
assignment of the Leased Property,(B)the Trust Estate,or(C)other moneys furnished to the Trustee under
the Indenture. There is no assurance that if the Lease is terminated, the Trustee will have sufficient
resources to perform its obligations under the Improvement Lease.
Legal Constraints on County Operations; Future Changes in Law
Various State laws and constitutional provisions govern the assessment and collection of ad

Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption. The Certificates are required to be called for redemption
in whole on such date or dates as the Trustee may determine for a redemption price equal to the principal
amount thereof,plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the availability of funds described
below), as described below.
If the Lease is terminated by reason of the occurrence of(a)an Event of Nonappropriation, (b)an
Event of Lease Default,or(c)in the event that(i)the Leased Property is damaged or destroyed in whole or
in part by fire or other casualty; (ii)title to,or the temporary or permanent use of,the Leased Property has
been taken by eminent domain by any governmental body; (iii) breach of warranty or any material defect
with respect to the Leased Property becomes apparent;or(iv)title to or the use of all or the Leased Property
is lost by reason of a defect in title thereto, and the Net Proceeds of any insurance, performance bond or
condemnation award,or Net Proceeds received as a consequence of defaults under contracts relating to the
Leased Property,made available by reason of such occurrences,are to be insufficient to pay in full,the cost
of repairing or replacing the Leased Property,and the County does not appropriate sufficient funds for such
purpose or cause the Lease to be amended in order that Additional Certificates may be executed and
delivered pursuant to the Indenture for such purpose,the Series 2019 Certificates are required to be called
for redemption.
If the Net Proceeds, including the Net Proceeds from the exercise of any Lease Remedy under the

Any notice of redemption may contain a statement that the redemption is conditioned upon the
receipt by the Trustee of funds on or before the date fixed for redemption sufficient to pay the redemption
price of the Series 2019 Certificates so called for redemption,and that if such funds are not available, such

Certain Indenture Provisions
The following is a description of certain provisions of the Indenture and is subject in all respects to
the more specific provisions of the Indenture. See the form of the Indenture appended to this Official
Statement as part of"APPENDIX B—FORMS OF THE LEASE, THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE,AND
THE INDENTURE" for definitions of certain capitalized terms used below and elsewhere in this Official
Statement and additional summaries of provisions of the Indenture.
18
Application of Revenues and Other Moneys. All Base Rentals payable under the Lease and other
Revenues are to be paid directly to the Trustee. If the Trustee receives any other payments on account of
the Lease,the Trustee is to immediately deposit the same as described below.
The Trustee is to deposit all Revenues and any other payments received in respect of the Lease,
immediately upon receipt thereof, to the Base Rentals Fund in an amount required to cause the aggregate
amount on deposit therein to equal the amount then required to make the principal and interest payments
due on the Series 2019 Certificate and any Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture on
the next Interest Payment Date. In the event that the Trustee receives Prepayments under the Lease,the
Trustee is to apply such Prepayments to the optional redemption of the Series 2019 Certificate and any
Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture or portions thereof in accordance with the
Indenture.
Base Rentals Fund. The Base Rentals Fund is to be used for the deposit of all Revenues, upon
receipt thereof by the Trustee,except as otherwise required by the Lease. Moneys in the Base Rentals Fund
are to be used solely for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2019 Certificate and any
Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture whether on an Interest Payment Date,at maturity
or upon prior redemption, except as provided in the Indenture and described in"—Rebate Fund" below.
The Trustee is also to establish such subaccounts in any sinking fund for any series of Additional
Certificates as may be directed in the supplemental indenture establishing such series.
The Base Rentals Fund is to be in the custody of the Trustee. Base Rental payments are due and
payable to the Trustee on or before each May 15 and November 15 annually. The Trustee is to withdraw
sufficient funds from the Base Rentals Fund to pay the principal of and interest on the Series 2019
Certificate and any Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture as the same become due and
payable whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity or upon prior redemption, which responsibility,
to the extent of the moneys therein,the Trustee accepts in the Indenture.
Rebate Fund. To the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of the Tax Certificate,there
is to be deposited in the Rebate Fund investment income on moneys in any fund created under the Indenture
(except defeasance escrows). In addition to the deposit of investment income as provided in the Indenture,
there is to be deposited into the appropriate account in the Rebate Fund moneys received from the County
as Additional Rentals for rebate payments pursuant to the Lease; moneys transferred to an account in the
Rebate Fund from any other fund created under the Indenture;and all other moneys received by the Trustee
when accompanied by directions not inconsistent with the Lease or the Indenture that such moneys are to
be paid into an account of the Rebate Fund. The County will cause(or direct the Trustee to cause)amounts
on deposit in the appropriate account in the Rebate Fund to be forwarded to the United States Treasury at
the address and times provided in the Tax Certificate, and in the amounts calculated to ensure that the
County's rebate obligations are met,in accordance with the County's tax covenants in the Lease. Amounts
on deposit in the Rebate Fund are not to be subject to the lien of the Indenture to the extent that such
amounts are required to be paid to the United States Treasury.
If,at any time after the Trustee receives instructions by the County to make any payments from the
Rebate Fund, the Trustee determines that the moneys on deposit in an account of the Rebate Fund are
insufficient for the purposes thereof, and if the Trustee does not receive Additional Rentals or cannot
transfer investment income so as to make the amount on deposit in the appropriate account in the Rebate
Fund sufficient for its purpose,the Trustee may transfer moneys to an account in the Rebate Fund from the
Base Rentals Fund. Any moneys so advanced are to be included in the County's estimates of Additional
Rentals for the ensuing Fiscal Year pursuant to the Lease and are to be repaid to the fund from which
advanced upon payment to the Trustee of such Additional Rentals. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an
opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that the amount in an account of the Rebate
19
Fund is in excess of the amount required to be therein pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Certificate,
such excess is to be transferred to the Base Rentals Fund.
The Trustee is not to be responsible for calculating rebate amounts or for the adequacy or
correctness of any rebate report. The County may, at its own expense, retain an independent firm of
professionals in such area to calculate such rebate amounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Lease has been terminated or the County has
failed to comply with the Lease so as to make the amount on deposit in the appropriate account in Rebate
Fund sufficient for its purpose, the Trustee is to make transfers of investment income or of moneys from
the above-described funds in such combination as the Trustee is to determine to be in the best interests of
the Series 2019 Certificate and any Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture.
Costs of Issuance Fund.Upon the delivery of the Series 2019 Certificates there is to be deposited
into the Costs of Issuance Fund from the proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates the amounts directed by
the Indenture and the Underwriter is to deliver to the Trustee a closing memorandum detailing the
anticipated amounts of Costs of Issuance. Payments from the Costs of Issuance Fund with respect to the
Series 2019 Certificates are to be made by the Trustee upon receipt of a statement or a bill for the provision
of Costs of Issuance of the Series 2019 Certificates approved in writing by the County Representative and
(a) stating the payee, the amount to be paid and the purpose of the payment and (b) certifying that the
amount to be paid is due and payable, has not been the subject of any previous requisition and is a proper
charge against the Costs of Issuance Fund. The Trustee may conclusively rely as to the completeness and
accuracy of all statements in such requisition and the Trustee is not to be required to make any independent
investigation in connection therewith. The Trustee is to transfer all moneys remaining in the Costs of
Issuance Fund to the Base Rentals Fund upon the final payment of all Costs of Issuance, as certified in
writing by the County Representative. Any amounts remaining in the Costs of Issuance Fund on a date that
is 90 days after the date of issuance of the Series 2019 Certificates is to be transferred by the Trustee into
the Base Rentals Fund.
Additional Certificates. So long as no Event of Indenture Default, Event of Nonappropriation or
Event of Lease Default has occurred and is continuing and the Lease Term is in effect, one or more series
of Additional Certificates may be executed and delivered upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
Indenture. The principal of any Additional Certificates is to mature on December 1 and interest payment
dates therefore are to be the same as the interest payment dates for the Series 2019 Certificate and any other
Additional Certificates previously delivered pursuant to the Indenture; otherwise the times and amounts of
payment of Additional Certificates are to be as provided in the supplemental resolution or indenture and
amendment to the Lease entered into in connection therewith.

of the Outstanding Certificates, may be executed and delivered only upon there being furnished to the

Certificates previously delivered pursuant to the Indenture (or such lesser amount) as shall be the
maximum insurable value of the real property included in the Leased Property); and
(c) A written opinion of Special Counsel to the effect that:
(i) the execution and delivery of Additional Certificates have been duly
authorized and that all conditions precedent to the delivery thereof have been fulfilled;
(ii) the excludability of interest from gross income for federal income tax
purposes on the Series 2019 Certificate and any other Additional Certificates previously
delivered pursuant to the Indenture will not be adversely affected by the execution and
delivery of the Additional Certificates being executed and delivered;and
(iii) the sale, execution and delivery of the Additional Certificates, in and of
themselves,will not constitute an Event of Indenture Default or an Event of Lease Default
nor cause any violation of the covenants or representations in the Indenture or in the Lease;
and
(iv) Written directions from the underwriter or placement agent with respect
of the Additional Certificates,together with written acknowledgment of the County,to the

with all Outstanding Series 2019 Certificate and any other Additional Certificates previously delivered
pursuant to the Indenture and in respect of all Revenues, and is to be ranked pari passu with such
Outstanding Series 2019 Certificate and any other Additional Certificates previously delivered pursuant to
the Indenture and with Additional Certificates that may be executed and delivered in the future, if any.

24
If the Trustee or the County proposes to amend the Lease or the Improvement Lease in such a way
as would materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Series 2019 Certificates and
Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture,the Trustee is to cause notice of such proposed
amendments to be given in the same manner as provided in the Indenture regarding supplemental indentures
and amendments required Certificate Owners' consent and may consent thereto only with the consent of
the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Series 2019 Certificates and
Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture; provided, that the Trustee is not, without the
unanimous consent of the Owners of all Certificates,to consent to any amendment which would(a)decrease
the amounts payable in respect of the Lease,(b)change the Base Rentals Payment Dates,or(c)change any
of the prepayment provisions of the Lease.
Defeasance and Discharge. When the principal or redemption price (as the case may be) of, and

Indenture have been paid (or, in the case of redemption of the Series 2019 Certificates and Additional
Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture pursuant to the extraordinary mandatory redemption
provisions of the Indenture, if full or partial payment of the Series 2019 Certificates and Additional
Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture and interest thereon is made as provided in the extraordinary
mandatory redemption provisions of the Indenture), or provision has been made for payment of the same,
together with all other sums payable thereunder relating to the Series 2019 Certificates and Additional
Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture,then the right,title and interest of the Trustee in and to the
Trust Estate and all covenants,agreements and other obligations of the Trustee to the Owners is to thereupon
cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied. In such event, the Trustee is to (a)
release the Improvement Lease and transfer and convey the Trustee's leasehold interest in the Leased
Property to the County as provided by the Lease,(b)release the Lease and the Indenture, (c)execute such
documents to evidence such releases as may be reasonably required by the County,and(d)turn over to the
County all balances then held by the Trustee in the Funds or Accounts under the Indenture except for
amounts held in any defeasance escrow accounts. If payment or provision therefor is made with respect to
less than all of the Series 2019 Certificates and Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture,
the particular Series 2019 Certificates and Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture (or
portion thereof)for which provision for payment is to have been considered made are to be selected by the
County.
Provision for the payment of all or a portion of the Series 2019 Certificates and Additional
Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture is to be deemed to have been made when the Trustee holds
in the Base Rentals Fund,or there is on deposit in a separate escrow or defeasance account or trust account
held by a trust bank or escrow agent,either moneys in an amount which are sufficient,or Federal Securities,
the principal of and the interest on which when due, and without any reinvestment thereof, will provide
moneys which,together with the moneys, if any, concurrently deposited in trust, will be sufficient to pay
when due the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due and to become due on said Series 2019
Certificates and Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture on and prior to the redemption
date or maturity date thereof,as the case may be. Prior to any discharge of the Indenture or the defeasance
of any Series 2019 Certificates and Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture pursuant to
the Indenture becoming effective,there is to have been delivered to the Trustee a report of an independent
firm of nationally recognized certified public accountants verifying the sufficiency of the escrow
established to pay the applicable Series 2019 Certificates and Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to
the Indenture in full on the maturity or redemption date thereof.
Neither the Federal Securities nor the moneys deposited in the Base Rentals Fund or separate
escrow account or trust account pursuant to the Indenture are to be withdrawn or used for any purpose other
than, and are to be segregated and held in trust for,the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Series 2019 Certificates and Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture or
25
portions thereof; provided, however, that other Federal Securities and moneys may be substituted for the
Federal Securities and moneys so deposited prior to their use for such purpose.
Whenever moneys or Federal Securities are to be deposited with the Trustee or a separate escrow
agent for the payment or redemption of any Series 2019 Certificates and Additional Certificates delivered
pursuant to the Indenture more than 45 days prior to the date that such Series 2019 Certificates and
Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture are to mature or be redeemed,the Trustee is to
mail a notice stating that such moneys or Federal Securities have been deposited and identifying the Series
2019 Certificates and Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture for the payment of which
such moneys or Federal Securities are being held,to all Owners of Series 2019 Certificates and Additional
Certificates delivered pursuant to the Indenture for the payment of which such moneys or Federal Securities
are being held, or if such Series 2019 Certificates and Additional Certificates delivered pursuant to the
Indenture are registered in the name of the Depository, such notice may be sent, in the alternative, by
electronic means in accordance with the regulations of the Depository.
SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT
General
Each Series 2019 Certificate evidences a proportionate interest in the right to receive certain
designated Revenues, including Base Rentals, under and as defined in the Lease and the Indenture. Under
the Improvement Lease,the Leased Property has been leased by the County to the Trustee, and under the
Lease,the Leased Property has been leased by the Trustee back to the County and the County has agreed
to pay directly to the Trustee, Base Rentals in consideration of the County's right to possess and use the
Leased Property. Certain Revenues, including Base Rentals, are required under the Indenture to be
distributed by the Trustee for the payment of the Series 2019 Certificates and interest thereon.
The Leased Property
As defined in the Lease, the Leased Property is comprised of following buildings at the County's
Maintenance Service Center in the Town of Gypsum, Colorado: (a) Facilities Building - Building H
(approximately 14,000 square feet), used as maintenance workshop, storage, and offices; and (b)
Maintenance Center - Building C (approximately 27,494 square feet), used as mechanical and body
workshop, storage, and offices. The Facilities Building has an insured value of $2,290,680 and was
constructed in 2018. The Maintenance Center has an insured value of$6,324,440 and was constructed in
2000.Surface parking serving the Leased Property is available at the Maintenance Service Center.Members
of the public have the ability to access the Leased Property.
The Leased Property is located within the Town of Gypsum,Colorado,and it is located on a larger
20-acre parcel owned by the County that includes other maintenance service center buildings (such
additional buildings and the 20 acres of land itself are not part of the Leased Property). The property,
including the Leased Property, is fully entitled for its intended uses. The 20-acre parcel is currently zoned
"Institutional District" under the Gypsum Municipal Code. An institutional district is intended to identify
and perpetuate the existence of public parks, recreation facilities,playgrounds and public and quasi-public
buildings, whether publicly owned or leased. In certain circumstances, the Gypsum Municipal Code
provides that it may be appropriate to allow and encourage institutional uses to develop on-site housing for
some of their employees. See"RISK FACTORS—Zoning and other Use Restrictions"and"—Factors that
Could Impact Value of Property if Lease is Terminated."
26
The Leased Property is required to be insured as described in Section 8.05 of the form of the Lease
included in "APPENDIX B—FORMS OF THE LEASE, THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE, AND THE
INDENTURE," and the insurance proceeds are required to be applied by the Trustee as described therein.
Upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease,the County is to be entitled to substitute any
improved or unimproved real estate in place of the Leased Property. See Section 8.08 of the form of the
Lease included in "APPENDIX B—FORMS OF THE LEASE, THE IMPROVEMENT LEASE, AND
THE INDENTURE."
Sources of Available Revenue to Pay Base Rentals
Although no particular funds or sources of revenue are pledged to make payments under the Lease,
the County currently intends to budget, appropriate, and pay the Base Rentals (and Additional Rentals, if
any) allocable to the Series 2019 Certificates from its Capital Improvements Fund and, if needed,from the
General Fund.Notwithstanding the foregoing,such Base Rentals and Additional Rentals may be budgeted,
appropriated,and paid from any of the County's available funds in the future.
See "COUNTY FINANCIAL INFORMATION" for more information regarding the County's
funds and for information regarding ad valorem property tax revenues and sales tax revenues of the County,
which are the source of funding of the Capital Improvements Fund. See also APPENDIX A.
No Reserve Fund
No reserve fund has been established to secure payment on the Series 2019 Certificates..
Rights of County to Terminate the Lease Annually
The Lease is subject to annual appropriation,non-renewal and, in turn,termination by the County.
The execution and delivery of the Series 2019 Certificates does not directly or contingently obligate the
County to make any payments beyond those appropriated for the County's then current Fiscal Year. As
more fully described under the caption"CERTAIN RISK FACTORS,"the Lease is subject to renewal on
an annual basis at the option of the County. The Lease Term and the schedule of payments of Base Rentals
are designed to produce moneys sufficient to pay the Series 2019 Certificates and interest thereon when
due(if the County elects not to terminate the Lease prior to the end of the Lease Term).
The Series 2019 Certificates will not constitute a mandatory charge or requirement of the County
in any ensuing Fiscal Year beyond the current Fiscal Year and will not constitute or give rise to a general
obligation or other indebtedness of the County or a multiple fiscal year direct or indirect debt or other
financial obligation whatsoever of the County, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt
provision or limitation. No provision of the Series 2019 Certificates are to be construed or interpreted as
creating an unlawful delegation of governmental powers nor as a donation by or a lending of the credit of
the County within the meaning of Sections 1 or 2 of Article XI of the Colorado Constitution. The execution
and delivery of the Series 2019 Certificates will not directly or indirectly obligate the County to renew the
Lease from Fiscal Year to Fiscal Year or to make any payments beyond those appropriated for the County's
then current Fiscal Year. Base Rentals and Additional Rentals may be paid from any lawfully available
County monies appropriated for that purpose. See"COUNTY FINANCIAL INFORMATION."
The County is not obligated to pay Base Rentals or Additional Rentals under the Lease unless funds
are budgeted and appropriated for such rentals by the County each year. If in any year the County fails to
budget and appropriate such funds,the County will be deemed to have terminated its obligations under the
Lease. See"CERTAIN RISK FACTORS."
27
Remedies in Event of Termination of the Lease
In the event of termination of the County's obligations under the Lease upon the occurrence of an
Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of Lease Default,the County is required to vacate and surrender the
Leased Property 60 days from the end of a 90-day period described in the following sentence.In the event
that during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, any Additional Rentals become due which were not
included in a duly effected Appropriation and moneys are not specifically budgeted and appropriated or
otherwise made available to pay such Additional Rentals within 90 days subsequent to the date upon which
such Additional Rentals are due,an Event of Nonappropriation is deemed to have occurred,upon notice by
the Trustee to the County to such effect(subject to waiver by the Trustee as provided in the Lease).
If an Event of Lease Default shall have occurred and remain uncured,the Trustee may take any of
the following actions: (a)terminate the Lease Term and give notice to the County to vacate and surrender
possession of the Leased Property which vacation and surrender the County agrees under the Lease to
complete within 90 days from the date of such notice; (b) lease or sublease the Leased Property or sell or
assign any interest the Trustee has in the Leased Property, including the Trustee's leasehold interest in the
Leased Property; (c) recover from the County (i)the portion of Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, for
which a specific Appropriation has been effected by the County for such purpose,which would otherwise
have been payable under the Lease, during any period in which the County continues to occupy, use or
possess the Leased Property; and (ii)Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, for which a specific
Appropriation has been effected by the County for such purpose,which would otherwise have been payable
by the County under the Lease during the remainder,after the County vacates and surrenders possession of
the Leased Property, of the Fiscal Year in which such Event of Lease Default occurs; or(d)take whatever
action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to enforce its rights in and to the Leased
Property under the Improvement Lease, the Lease and the Indenture. In the event the County does not
vacate and surrender possession on the termination date,the"holdover tenant"provisions of the Lease will
apply.
The Trustee is also be entitled, upon any Event of Lease Default, to any moneys in any funds or
accounts created under the Indenture(except the Rebate Fund or any defeasance escrow accounts).
The Lease places certain limitations on the availability of money damages against the County as a
remedy. For example, the Lease provides that a judgment requiring a payment of money may be entered
against the County by reason of an Event of Nonappropriation only to the extent the County fails to vacate
the Leased Property as required by the Lease and only as to certain liabilities as described in the Lease.

THE COUNTY
Generally
The County is a political subdivision of the State of Colorado, duly organized and existing under
the laws and constitution of the State of Colorado.
The County is located approximately 100 miles west of Denver. The County encompasses
approximately'1,694 square miles and spans from the summit of Vail Pass west to Glenwood Canyon, and
from the Town of Basalt north to the community of McCoy. Approximately 80% of the land is publicly
owned and is controlled primarily by the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
Interstate Highway 70 serves as the principal corridor through the County.
The eastern portions of the County have experienced considerable growth and change during the
past 40 years and include the Vail and Beaver Creek Ski Resorts, as well as the communities of Avon,
Eagle-Vail, Singletree, Homestead, Edwards, Cordillera, Eagle, Gypsum, Vail, Minturn, and Arrowhead.
The western and southern portions of the County are changing from agricultural and ranching-based
economies to real estate development, tourism and recreation-based economies. The northern portion of
the County is still primarily rural in nature. Skiing and tourism comprise the largest components of the
local economic base.
According to the State Demography Office, the County had an estimated full-time population of
54,662 in 2017. However, due to the resort communities within the County and its status as a tourism
destination,the peak seasonal population may be higher.
History
The State Legislature in 1883 approved a division of Summit County to allow the formation of
Eagle County. The County's modern era began in the late 1800s as the mines around Red Cliff and Gilman
fueled an economy that supported several small settlements, many of which withered with the decline of
the mining industry in ensuing years. While Red Cliff, Minturn, Eagle, and Gypsum remain from the
County's early years, Taylor City, Mitchell, and Holy Cross City have disappeared from the map or have
become ghost towns. Other industries, such as ranching and lumbering, represented the bulk of the
County's economy until the development of Vail Resort in the early 1960s.As a result,a significant portion
of the County's economy is now based on tourism and on commercial and residential real estate
development.
Economy
In winter,Vail ski area,with its adjoining ski area and sister resort Beaver Creek,has become one
of the most popular alpine resorts in the world. In January 2015, Vail and Beaver Creek hosted the World
Alpine Ski Championships for the third time, having hosted this event previously in 1989 and 1999. In
addition, each December,Beaver Creek hosts three ski races on the men's world cup circuit(known as the
Beaver Creek Xfinity Birds of Prey Audi FIS Ski World Cup Super G,Downhill, and Giant Slalom races)
and each February/March,Vail hosts the Burton U.S.Open Snowboarding Championships(which are under
contract to be hosted by Vail through 2021). See"APPENDIX D—ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC
INFORMATION—Recreation and Tourism."
30
The County's non-winter outdoor recreational opportunities have historically attracted visitors
from all parts of the world. Non-winter activities have grown in recent years and have provided a larger
contribution to the County's economy.In 2016,Vail expanded its on-mountain summer activities to include
additional zip lines,rope courses and an alpine slide.Additional summer economic contributions have been
attributed to the increased popularity of the 14 golf courses located in the County. Other non-winter
activities include road and mountain biking, rafting, fishing and various entertainment events. Big game
hunting for deer and elk(the Flat Tops outside Dotsero is home to North America's largest elk herd) also
makes significant contributions to the local economy each year. Tennis,hiking, camping, and ATV tours
are also important components of the County's summer economy.
County Government
Board of County Commissioners. The Board exercises the constitutional and statutory powers
granted to the County. The County is divided into three districts of relatively equal population as required
by State statute. The members of the Board are elected from each district by the voters of the entire County
to serve staggered four year terms. The boundaries of the County's three districts were redrawn and adopted
by the Board in 1991,2001, and again in 2011.
Statutes require the Board to hold regular meetings at least once a month and at such other times as, in the
opinion of the Board,the public interest may require. Currently, the Board meets once every week. The
names of the present Board members are set forth below. Each Board member is a full-time County
Commissioner.

Management from Colorado State University.
County Employees, Employee Relations. The County currently employs approximately 508
full-time employees. The County considers its employee relations to be very good. The County does not
recognize any unions as bargaining agents for its employees.
Pension Matters
The County provides a retirement plan for County employees and officials through the Colorado
County Officials and Employees Retirement Association Retirement Plan ("CCOERA"). The plan is a
defined contribution money purchase plan (401A plan). The total retirement expense to the County for
2018 was $1,807,515.45. All regular employees working 30 hours or more per week(0.75-1.00 FTE) are
required to participate in the retirement program as a condition of employment,beginning with the first pay
period. The County contributes a 3-6% match of an employee's compensation, excluding overtime and
bonus pay, based on the amount the employee chooses to contribute. Employees may self-direct their
contributions into certain investments as allowed by CCOERA. Vesting occurs at 25% per year starting
with the employee's first year.As of December 31, 2018,there were no unfunded liabilities.
The County offers its employees a 457 deferred compensation plan with CCOERA, in addition to
the defined contribution plan. Employees may defer an additional amount that for 2014 could not exceed
the lesser of(a) 100% of gross compensation or(b) $18,000 less the 6% contributed by the County to the
retirement plan. The County matches contributions amounting to 2% of the employee's contributions to
the 457. During 2018,employee contributions and County matching contributions totaled$667,685.60 and
$13,313.71,respectively.
Insurance
The Colorado Counties Casualty& Property Pool("CAPP") is a multi-line property and casualty
self-insurance pool with reserves for claims of approximately$7,177,856 as of December 31,2018. CAPP
began operations on July 1, 1986 and was approved to operate in Colorado by the State Insurance
Commissioner who, based on independent actuary projection of losses, and together with an independent
actuary,has determined the pool to be fully funded. CAPP secures excess insurance coverage up to certain
limits with several commercial insurance companies. The coverages, conditions of membership and other
provisions applicable to members of CAPP are described in CAPP's bylaws, and in the excess policies
obtained by CAPP. See Note IV(B)(2)in the audited financial statements attached hereto as APPENDIX A
for further information about CAPP and the County's 2017 coverage.The County's insurance coverage is
substantially similar for 2019.
32
The County also carries liability insurance outside of CAPP in connection with its operation of the
County Airport. Such insurance generally provides coverage to a maximum of$5,000,000 per occurrence
subject to the exceptions stated in the insurance policy.
Intergovernmental Agreements
The County has entered into approximately 50 intergovernmental agreements with the State and
other political subdivisions to (a) provide limited services to municipal corporations in the County and
(b)pursue cooperative opportunities among the County, the State, and/or other political subdivisions.
These agreements, many of which automatically renew, cover several basic types of services, including a
County bus system, building inspection, dog control, law enforcement and fire protection services, road
maintenance, and other miscellaneous services. The County enjoys some economies of scale by virtue of
these agreements. The County believes that these agreements are beneficial to the operations of the County.
The County's financial obligations pursuant to these agreements are paid from current revenues in the
General Fund. The County does not expect any significant capital demands to be made on the County as a
result of these agreements.
Capital Improvement Plan
The County annually budgets and expends funds on improvement and construction of County
facilities, acquisition of equipment, and capital improvements for such things as bridge construction,
recreation and transportation facilities, affordable housing and childcare projects,and County facilities.
The Capital Improvements Fund, which pays for the majority of County capital projects, has
averaged approximately$6,100,000 in revenue in each of the past 3 years and$7,200,000 in expenditures
per year. The fund has a 2018 unaudited fund balance of$6,000,000. Each year,the Board considers its
current and long term needs in budgeting for this fund. The 5-year plan includes the maintenance of all
existing capital projects, including buildings, vehicles, public safety, and technology, along with
investments that align with the Board's strategic plan, which includes investments in affordable housing,
transportation, and sustainability.
The County currently intends to budget, appropriate, and pay the Base Rentals (and Additional
Rentals, if any) allocable to the Series 2019 Certificates from legally available funds in Capital
Improvements Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Base Rentals and Additional Rentals may be
budgeted, appropriated, and paid from any of the County's available funds in the future, including legally
available funds in the General Fund.See"COUNTY FINANCIAL INFORMATION"for more information

COUNTY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following presents general financial information concerning the County. The County's
principal sources of revenue for operations are sales and ad valorem taxation. The County currently
anticipates that amounts to pay Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, if budgeted and appropriated by the
County, will be budgeted and appropriated as a part of the County's annual operating budget. However,
the Series 2019 Certificates are not general obligations of the County and neither ad valorem taxes
nor any other taxes collected by the County are being pledged in whole or in part to pay the Series
2019 Certificates.
Although the County is not obligated to pay Base Rentals and Additional Rentals from any
particular revenue source,it is the current expectation of the Board that Base Rentals and Additional Rentals
will be paid (to the extent funds are appropriated therefor each year) from revenues in the Capital
Improvements Fund and, if needed, from the General Fund. Specific information regarding the General
Fund and Capital Improvements Fund is set forth below herein. In addition information regarding ad
valorem property tax revenues and sales tax revenues of the County,which comprise the source of funding
for the Capital Improvements Fund, are set forth below.
Assessed Valuation and Property Taxes
•
The Board has the power, subject to constitutional and statutory guidelines, to certify a levy for
collection of ad valorem taxes against all taxable property within the County. Property taxes are uniformly
levied against the assessed valuation of all taxable property within the County. The property subject to
taxation, the assessment of such property, and the property tax procedure and collections are discussed
below.
Property Subject to Taxation. Both real and personal property located within the boundaries of
the County, unless exempt, are subject to taxation by the County. Exempt property generally includes
property of the United States of America; property of the State and its political subdivisions; public
libraries; public school property; charitable property; religious property; irrigation ditches, canals and
flumes; household furnishings; personal effects; intangible personal property; inventories of merchandise
and materials and supplies which are held for consumption by a business or are held primarily for sale;
livestock; agricultural and livestock products; agricultural equipment which is used on the farm or ranch in
the production of agricultural products; and non-profit cemeteries.
Property Tax Reduction for Senior Citizens and Disabled Veterans. On November 7, 2000 and
November 7, 2006, respectively, the electors of the State of Colorado approved Referendum A and
Referendum E,constitutional amendments granting a property tax reduction to qualified senior citizens and
qualified disabled veterans. Generally,the reduction(a)reduces property taxes for qualified senior citizens
and qualified disabled veterans by exempting 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value of residential
property from property taxation;(b)requires that the State reimburse all local governments for any decrease
in property tax revenue resulting from the reduction; and (c) excludes the State reimbursement to local
governments from the revenue and spending limits established under Article X, Section 20 of the State
Constitution.
35
Assessment of Property. All taxable property is listed, appraised and valued for assessment as of
January 1 of each year by the county assessor. The"actual"value, with certain exceptions, is determined
by the county assessor annually based on a biennially recalculated"level of value"set on January 1 of each
odd-numbered year. The "level of value" is ascertained for each two-year reassessment period from
manuals and associated data prepared and published by the State property tax administrator for the eighteen-
month period ending on the June 30 immediately prior to the beginning of each two-year reassessment
period. For example, "actual"values for the 2017 levy/2018 collection year as well as the 2018 levy/2019
collection year are based on market data obtained from the period January 1,2015—June 30,2016."Actual"
values for the 2019 levy/2020 collection year as well as the 2020 levy/2021 collection year will be based
on market data obtained from the period January 1, 2017—June 30,2018. The"level of value" calculation
does not change for even-numbered years. The classes of property the "actual" value of which is not
determined by a level of value include oil and gas leaseholds and lands, producing mines and other lands
producing nonmetallic minerals.
The assessed value of taxable property is then determined by multiplying the "actual" value
(determined as described in the immediately preceding paragraph) times an assessment ratio. The
assessment ratio of residential property changes from year to year based on a constitutionally mandated
requirement to keep the ratio of the assessed value of commercial property to residential property at the
same level as it was in the property tax year commencing January 1, 1985(the"Gallagher Amendment").
The Gallagher Amendment requires that statewide residential assessed values must be approximately 45%
of the total assessed value in the State with commercial and other assessed values making up the other 55%
of the assessed values in the State. In order to maintain this 45%to 55%ratio,the assessment rate for all
non-residential properties (including commercial properties, industrial properties, agricultural property,
vacant land, and undeveloped lots) is established at 29% of the actual value of commercial property
(including vacant land and undeveloped lots)and the residential assessment rate fluctuates. However,the
residential assessment rate cannot increase without the approval of Colorado voters.
Section 39-1-104.2(5), C.R.S.,as amended,states that commencing January 1, 1989,for each year
in which there is a change in the level of value used in determining actual value, the Colorado General
Assembly shall by law adjust the assessment ratio of residential property so that the percentage of aggregate
statewide valuation for assessment which is attributable to residential real property equals the target
percentage (which is described in the preceding paragraph). It further provides that the residential ratio
shall be based on a documented estimate of the total valuation for assessment of all taxable property in the
State and that a documented estimate study is to be completed by the Division of Property Taxation of the
Colorado Department of Local Affairs.
The residential assessment rate had remained at 7.96% since the 2003 levy year. During the 2017
legislative session,the Colorado General Assembly approved a change to the residential assessment rate to
7.20%for levy years commencing on and after January 1,2017. The Colorado Legislative Council Staff's
"Focus Colorado: Economic and Revenue Forecast"dated December 20,2018 projects that the residential
assessment rate will decrease to 6.78% for levy years 2019 and 2020. As required by statute,the Division
of Property Taxation(the"Division")has submitted a Preliminary Residential Assessment Rate Study dated
January 15, 2019 to the State Board of Equalization and the Colorado General Assembly forecasting a
change in the residential assessment rate to 6.95%. The actual rate change will depend on the actual
residential and non-residential values reported to the Division and is likely to change prior to the final report
to be submitted to the State Board of Equalization and the Colorado General Assembly no later than April
15, 2019. The final figure is subject to approval by the Colorado General Assembly during the 2019
legislative session. [[TO BE CONFIRMED PRIOR TO POSTING WHETHER 7.15%or 7.20%]]
Beginning in May of each year each county assessor hears taxpayers' objections to property
valuations, and the county board of equalization hears assessment appeals. The assessor is required to
36
complete the assessment roll of all taxable property no later than August 25 each year. The abstract of
assessment prepared therefrom is reviewed by the State property tax administrator. Assessments are also
subject to review at various stages by the State board of equalization,the State board of assessment appeals
and the State courts. Therefore,the County's assessed valuation may be subject to modification as a result
of the review of such entities. In the instance of the erroneous levy of taxes, an abatement or refund must
be authorized by the board of county commissioners; and in no case will an abatement or refund of taxes
be made unless a petition for abatement or refund is filed within two years after January 1 of the year
following the year in which the taxes were levied. Refunded or abated taxes are prorated among all taxing
jurisdictions which levied a tax against the property.
Taxation Procedure. The assessed valuation and statutory "actual"valuation of taxable property
within the County is required to be certified by the County Assessor no later than August 25 of each year.
Such value is subject to recertification by the County Assessor prior to December 10. The Board then
determines a rate of levy which,when levied upon such certified assessed valuation,and together with other
legally available revenues, will raise the amount required annually by the County for its General Fund,
Road and Bridge Fund, Social Services Fund, Capital Improvement Fund, and Casualty Insurance Fund to
defray their expenditures during the ensuing fiscal year. In determining the rate of levy, the Board must
take into consideration the limitations on certain increases in property tax revenues as described in"—State
Constitutional Limitation"and"—Budget Process"herein. The Board approves the County's levy no later
than December 15.
Upon receipt of the tax levy certification of the County and other taxing entities within the County,
the Board levies against the assessed valuation of all taxable property within the County the applicable
property taxes. Such levies are certified by the Board to the County Assessor, who thereupon delivers the
tax list and warrant to the County Treasurer for the collection of taxes.
Property Tax Collections. Taxes levied in one year are collected in the succeeding year. Taxes
certified in 2018, for example, are being collected in 2019. Taxes are due on January 1 in the year of
collection;however,they may be paid in either one installment(not later than the last day of April)or two
equal installments(not later than the last day of February and June 15)without interest or penalty. Taxes
which are not paid within the prescribed time bear interest at the rate of 1%per month until paid. Unpaid
amounts and the accrued interest thereon become delinquent on June 16 of the collection year. The County
Treasurer collects current and delinquent property taxes, as well as any interest, penalties, and other
requirements and remits the amounts collected on behalf of the County to the County on a monthly basis.
Tax Liens; Tax Sale. All taxes levied on real and personal property,together with any interest and
penalties prescribed by law, as well as other costs of collection, until paid, constitute a perpetual lien on
and against the taxed property. Such lien is on a parity with the liens of other general taxes. It is the County
Treasurer's duty to enforce the collection of delinquent real property taxes by sale of the tax lien on such
realty in December of the collection year and of delinquent personal property taxes by the distraint,seizure
and sale of such property at any time after October 1 of the collection year. There can be no assurance,
however, that the value of taxes, penalty interest and costs due on the property can be recovered by the
County Treasurer.Further,the County Treasurer may set a minimum total amount below which competitive
bids will not be accepted,in which event property for which acceptable bids are not received will be set off
to the County. Taxes on real and personal property may be determined to be uncollectible after a period of
six years from the date of becoming delinquent and canceled by the Board.

Mill Levies Affecting Property Owners in Selected Areas of the County. In addition to the mill levy
imposed by the County, owners of property within the County are obligated to pay taxes to other taxing
entities in which their property is located. The Eagle County Assessor's Office reports that there are 89
active taxing entities overlapping the County. As a result,property owners within the County's boundaries
may be subject to a variety of different mill levies depending upon the location of their property.Mill levies
affecting property owners in the County range from 43.640 mills in an unincorporated area of the County
to 176.889 mills in an incorporated area of the County located in the Town of Vail. The median mill levy
within the County is 71.543 mills.Additional taxing entities may overlap the property within the individual
communities in the County in the future.
Sales Taxes
The County has imposed a 1%sales tax since 1982,pursuant to Section 29-2-101 et seq.,Colorado
Revised Statutes,as amended,and a special election of the voters of the County held on November 3, 1981.
At the November 7, 1995 election, County voters approved the imposition of an additional 0.5%sales tax
in the County, the proceeds of which are dedicated to financing, constructing, operating or maintaining a
mass transit system within the County, at least 10% of which must be spent on bike trails. As such, the
County is restricted in its ability to use such 0.5% sales tax for expenditures that fall outside of the voter
authorization. In 2017, voters approved both a sales and excise tax on marijuana products. The proceeds
of this tax are restricted to providing mental health and substance abuse services within the County.
The sales taxes are collected in all incorporated and unincorporated portions of the County. The
1% County-wide sales tax and 0.5% transportation sales tax, when combined with the State of Colorado
sales tax of 2.9%,brings the total sales tax in effect within the unincorporated areas of the County to 4.4%.
Sales taxes in effect in certain of the County's incorporated municipalities, specifically Avon, Eagle,
Gypsum, Minturn and Vail, bring the total sales tax imposed in such municipalities to between 7.4%and
8.9%.
The County's sales tax is imposed on the sale of tangible personal property at retail and the
furnishing of services as provided in Section 29-2-101 et seq., C.R.S., which sets forth the required
provisions of sales tax resolutions. The tax is imposed on all taxable transactions in Eagle County, except
that the sales of food, the sales and purchase of electricity, coal, wood, gas, fuel oil, or coke sold to
occupants of residences, and the sales and purchases of machinery or machine tools are exempt.
Pursuant to the allocation formula approved by County voters, 35% of the revenues derived from
the County's 1% sales tax, immediately upon receipt by the County Treasurer, are deposited into the
County's Sales Tax Capital Improvement Fund solely for the purposes for which the Capital Improvement
Fund may be used,which would include payments of Base Rentals and Additional Rentals under the Lease;
15%of the County's 1%sales tax collected within the incorporated towns within the County is remitted to
each town based upon the amount of the 1%sales tax collected in each respective town; and the remaining
amounts collected from the 1%sales tax are used as determined from time to time by the Board for County
purposes, operations,and services.
The collection, administration, and enforcement of the County's sales tax is performed by the
Executive Director of the Department of Revenue of the State, at no charge, in the same manner as the
collection,administration,and enforcement of the State sales tax. The provisions of Section 39-26-101,et
seq., C.R.S.,and rules and regulations of the Department of Revenue govern the collection,administration,
and enforcement of the County sales tax. Because of the administrative time lag involved in collecting and
recording the remittances of individual vendors, the County expects to receive successive monthly
distributions on or around the 10th day of each month following the month of collection.The tax is received
40
two months in arrears. This means that the tax paid by consumers in January is received by the County in
March,typically between the 8th and 10th of the month.
The following table presents the historical 1% sales tax collections in the County reported on a
accrual basis of accounting under which sales tax collections for any given year include sales taxes collected
from sales made from November 1 of the prior year through the following October 31. This method of
reporting is used due to an approximate two month lag between collection by the State of sales tax revenues
from vendors and distribution of the sales tax revenues to the County.

Specific Ownership Taxes
Specific ownership taxes represent the amounts received by the County from the State pursuant to
statute primarily on motor vehicle licensing. Such tax is collected by all counties and distributed to every
taxing entity within a county,such as the County,as applicable,in the proportion that the taxing entity's ad
valorem taxes represents the cumulative amount of ad valorem taxes levied county-wide. The table below
sets forth the specific ownership taxes received by the County(not including amounts sent to other taxing
entities).

Specific ownership taxes are not included in the property tax data reflected above. Specific
ownership taxes collected by County are not deposited to the General Fund or the Capital Improvements
Fund. Instead,the Board determined in 2016 to deposited such revenues in the Road and Bridge Fund and
used primarily for road maintenance.According to the County, in the future,the Board could determine to
deposit these revenues in the General Fund.
Accounting Policies and Financial Statements
The County maintains 28 individual funds, including governmental funds, special revenue funds,
enterprise funds,internal service funds,and component units,as more particularly described in APPENDIX
A—AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE COUNTY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED

Transit Fund,Airport Fund,and Open Space Fund.
Under Colorado statutes, the Board is required to have the financial statements of the County
audited at least annually. The audited financial statements must be filed with the Board by July 1 of each
year, and with the State Auditor 30 days thereafter. The County's financial statements for the year ended

Improvements Fund and, if needed,from the General Fund. Set forth in the following tables are a five-year
comparative statement of revenues and expenditures of the County's General Fund and the County's Capital
Improvements Fund, including the December 31 fund balance for each year. The following information

Budget and Appropriation Procedure
The County's budget is prepared on a calendar year basis as required by Article 1 of Title 29,C.R.S.
Each budget must present a complete financial plan for the County setting forth all estimated expenditures,
revenues,and other financing sources for the ensuing budget year,together with the corresponding figures
for the previous fiscal year.
On or before October 15 of each year,the County's budget officer must submit a proposed budget
to the Board for the next fiscal year. Thereupon notice must be published stating,among other things,that
the proposed budget is open for inspection by the public and that interested electors may file or register any
objection to the budget prior to its adoption.
Before the beginning of the fiscal year, the Board must enact an appropriation resolution which
corresponds with the budget. The income of the County must be allocated in the amounts and according to
the funds specified in the budget for the purpose of meeting the expenditures authorized by the appropriation
resolution. County expenditures may not exceed the amounts appropriated, except in the case of an
45
emergency or a contingency which was not reasonably foreseeable. Under such circumstances,the Board
may authorize the expenditure of funds in excess of the budget by a resolution adopted by a majority vote
of the Board following proper notice. If the County receives revenues which were unanticipated or
unassured at the time of adoption of the budget, the Board may authorize the expenditure thereof by
adopting a supplemental budget and appropriation resolution after proper notice and a hearing thereon. The
transfer of budgeted and appropriated moneys within a fund or between funds may be accomplished only
in accordance with State law.
The Board timely adopted the County's 2019 budget and appropriation resolution pursuant to the
above described procedure and filed such budget with the State Department of Local Affairs by January
31,2019.
Limitation on Certain Tax Revenues. It is through the preparation of the budget and by taking
into consideration all sources of revenue, costs of construction, expenses of operating the County, and the
debt service requirements of the County's outstanding bonds and the other obligations of the County that
the rate of mill levy is determined each year. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 20 of Article X of the
Colorado Constitution, the County is subject to tax revenue limitations as described in "—Constitutional
Amendment Limiting Taxes and Spending,"but has received voter approval to waive such limitations.
Budgeted Financial Information. Although the County is not obligated to pay Base Rentals and
Additional Rentals from any particular revenue source, it is the current expectation of the Board that Base
Rentals and Additional Rentals will be paid(to the extent funds are appropriated therefor each year) from
revenues in the Capital Improvements Fund and, if needed, from the General Fund. The following tables
set forth a comparison and a summary of the 2018 and 2019 budgets and the 2018 year-end unaudited
figures for the County's General Fund and Capital Improvements Fund.

Administration's Summary of Material Trends
For a discussion and analysis of County operations, see the County's audited financial statements
appended hereto for the Management's Discussion and Analysis,which provides a narrative overview and
analysis of the financial activities of the County for the year ended December 31,2017.
Constitutional Amendment Limiting Taxes and Spending
On November 3, 1992, Colorado voters approved an amendment to the Colorado Constitution,
which is commonly referred to as the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights,or Amendment One("TABOR"),and now
constitutes Section 20 of Article X of the Colorado Constitution. TABOR imposes various limits and new
requirements on the State and all Colorado local governments which do not qualify as "enterprises"under
TABOR (each of which is referred to in this Section as a "governmental unit"). Any of the following
actions, for example, now require voter approval in advance: (a) any increase in a governmental unit's
spending from one year to the next in excess of the rate of inflation plus a"growth factor"based on the net
48
percentage change in actual value of all real property in a governmental unit from construction of taxable
real property improvements,minus destruction of similar improvements, and additions to,minus deletions
from, taxable real property for government units other than school district, and the percentage change in
student enrollment for a school district; (b) any increase in the real property tax revenues of a local
governmental unit (not including the State) from one year to the next in excess of inflation plus the
appropriate "growth factor" referred to in clause (a) above; (c) any new tax, tax rate increase, mill levy
above that for the prior year, valuation for assessment ratio increase for a property class, extension of an
expiring tax or a tax policy change directly causing a net tax revenue gain; and(d) except for refinancing
bonded indebtedness at a lower interest rate or adding new employees to existing pension plans, creation
of any multiple fiscal year direct or indirect debt or other financial obligation whatsoever without adequate
present cash reserves pledged irrevocably and held for payments in all future fiscal years. Elections on
such matters may only be held on the same day as a State general election,at the governmental unit's regular
biennial election or on the first Tuesday in November of odd numbered years, and must be conducted in
accordance with procedures described in TABOR.
Revenue collected,kept or spent in violation of the provisions of TABOR must be refunded,with
interest. TABOR requires a governmental unit to create an emergency reserve of 3% of its fiscal year
spending(excluding bonded debt service)in 1995 and subsequent years. TABOR provides that"[w]hen[a
governmental unit's]annual...revenue is less than annual payments on general obligation bonds,pensions,
and final court judgments,the [voter approval requirement for mill levy and other tax increases referred to
in clause(c)of the preceding paragraph and the voter approval requirement for spending and real property
tax revenue increases referred to in clauses (a) and(b) of the preceding paragraph] shall be suspended to
provide for the deficiency." The preferred interpretation of TABOR shall, by its terms, be the one that
reasonably restrains most the growth of government.
De-Brucing. Pursuant to an election held in 1995,voters of the County have approved an election
question allowing the County to collect,receive,retain,and spend all revenues without regard to the revenue
and spending limitations of TABOR.
Lease Purchase Exemption. Voter approval under TABOR is not required for the execution and
delivery of the Series 2019 Certificates, because the County is not obligated to pay Base Rentals or
Additional Rentals under the Lease unless funds are appropriated for such rentals by the County each year.
Thus,the Series 2019 Certificates are not a"multiple fiscal year direct or indirect. . .debt or other financial
obligation"of the County within the meaning of TABOR. This conclusion is consistent with the decision
of the Colorado Court of Appeals in the case of Board of County Commissioners of the County of Boulder
v. Dougherty, Dawkins,Strand&Bigelow Incorporated,890 P.2d 199(Colo.App. 1994). See"CERTAIN
RISK FACTORS—Nonappropriation."
DEBT STRUCTURE
The following is a discussion of the County's authority to incur general obligation indebtedness
and other financial obligations and the amount of such obligations presently outstanding.
Required Elections
Article X,Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution requires that,except for refinancing bonded debt
at a lower interest rate,the County must have voter approval in advance for the creation of any multiple
fiscal year direct or indirect County debt or other financial obligation whatsoever without adequate present
cash reserves pledged irrevocably and held for payments in all future fiscal years. As discussed in
"COUNTY FINANCIAL INFORMATION—Constitutional Amendment Limiting Taxes and Spending—
Lease Purchase Exemption" above, an election is not required for the issuance of the Series 2019
49
Certificates. For a discussion of TABOR, see the caption "COUNTY FINANCIAL INFORMATION—
Constitutional Amendment Limiting Taxes and Spending"above.
General Obligation Debt
The Board has the power to contract indebtedness on behalf of the County by borrowing money or
issuing notes and bonds to carry out the objectives or purposes of the County. Debt may be incurred only
by resolution which is irrepealable until such indebtedness has been fully paid. The resolution also must
specify the use of the funds and provide for the levy of a tax which, together with other legally available
funds and revenues of the County, will be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such debt when
due. Although, as described above in "—Required Elections," the County may refund existing debt at a
lower interest rate without an election, no new debt may be created unless the question of incurring the
indebtedness and a maximum net effective interest rate therefor has been submitted to and approved by a
majority of qualified electors of the County voting at an election held for that purpose. See "COUNTY
FINANCIAL INFORMATION—Constitutional Amendment Limiting Taxes and Spending."
Pursuant to Section 30-26-301(3), C.R.S., the total outstanding indebtedness of the County may
not exceed 3% of the statutory actual value of taxable property within the County as determined by the
County Assessor for the last preceding assessment.
Outstanding Debt. The County has no general obligation indebtedness outstanding.
Estimated Overlapping General Obligation Debt. Certain public entities whose boundaries may
be entirely within,coterminous with,or only partially within the County are also authorized to incur general
obligation debt,and to the extent that properties within the County are also within such overlapping public
entities such properties will be liable for an allocable portion of such debt. For purposes of this Official
Statement, the percentage of each entity's outstanding debt chargeable to County property owners is
calculated by comparing the assessed valuation of the portion overlapping the County to the total assessed
valuation of the overlapping entity. To the extent the County's assessed valuation changes
disproportionately with the assessed valuation of overlapping entities,the percentage of general obligation
debt for which the County's property owners are responsible will also change.
The following table sets forth the estimated overlapping general obligation debt chargeable to
properties within the County as of the date of this Official Statement. The County is not financially or
legally obligated with regard to any of the indebtedness shown on the immediately following table.
Although the County has attempted to obtain accurate information as to the outstanding debt of the entities
50
that overlap the County, it does not warrant its completeness or accuracy as there is no central reporting
entity that is responsible for compiling this information.

LEGAL MATTERS
Sovereign Immunity
The Governmental Immunity Act, Title 24, Article 10, Part 1, C.R.S. (the "Governmental
Immunity Act"),provides that,with certain specified exceptions,sovereign immunity acts as a bar to any
action against a public entity, such as the County,for injuries which lie in tort or could lie in tort.
The Governmental Immunity Act provides that sovereign immunity does not apply to injuries
occurring as a result of certain specified actions or conditions. In general,public entities will be held liable
for willful and wanton acts or omissions or willful and wanton acts or omissions of its public employees
which occurred during the performance of their duties and within the scope of their employment. However,
if a plaintiff can meet the burden of proof required to show that any one of the exceptions specified in the
Governmental Immunity Act applies, the public entity may be liable for injuries arising from an act or
omission of the public entity, or an act or omission of its public employees, which was not willful and
wanton,and which occur during the performance of their duties and within the scope of their employment.
The maximum amounts that may be recovered under the Governmental Immunity Act, whether from one
or more public entities and public employees, are as follows: (a)for any injury to one person in any single
occurrence, the sum of$350,000 for claims accruing before January 1, 2018 or the sum of$387,000 for
claims accruing on or after January 1, 2018; and (b) for an injury to two or more persons in any single
occurrence,the sum of$990,000 for claims accruing before January 1, 2018 or the sum of$1,093,000 for
claims accruing on or after January 1, 2018, except in such instance, no person may recover in excess of
$350,000 for claims accruing before January 1,2018 or the sum of$387,000 for claims accruing on or after
January 1, 2018. Suits against both the County and a public employee do not increase such maximum
amounts which may be recovered. The County may not be held liable either directly or by indemnification
for punitive or exemplary damages. In the event that the County is required to levy an ad valorem property
tax to discharge a settlement or judgment, such tax may not exceed a total of ten mills per annum for all
outstanding settlements or judgments.
The County may be subject to civil liability and may not be able to claim sovereign immunity for
actions founded upon various federal laws. Examples of such civil liability include,but are not limited to,
suits filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 alleging the deprivation of federal constitutional or statutory
rights of an individual. In addition,the County may be enjoined from engaging in anti-competitive practices
which violate the antitrust laws. However,the Governmental Immunity Act provides that it applies to any
52
action brought against a public entity or a public employee in any Colorado State court having jurisdiction
over any claim brought pursuant to any federal law, if such action lies in tort or could lie in tort.
Legal Representation
Legal matters relating to the issuance of the Series 2019 Certificates,as well as the treatment of the
interest portion of payments made by the County under the Lease and received by Owners of the Series
2019 Certificates for purposes of federal and State income taxation, are subject to the approving legal
opinion of Ballard Spahr LLP,Denver,Colorado,as Special Counsel. Such opinion will be dated as of and
delivered at closing in substantially the form set forth in APPENDIX G—FORM OF SPECIAL COUNSEL
OPINION.Ballard Spahr LLP has also assisted in the preparation of this Official Statement in its capacity
as Special Counsel to the County. Ballard Spahr LLP represents the Underwriter from time to time on
matters unrelated to the County or the Series 2019 Certificates. Ballard Spahr LLP does not represent the
Underwriter or any other party in connection with the issuance of the Series 2019 Certificates. Bryan Treu,
the County Attorney,will also pass upon certain legal matters for the County. Stradling Yocca Carlson&
Rauth,P.C.,Denver, Colorado,has acted as counsel to the Underwriter.
The legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Series 2019 Certificates
express the professional judgment of the attorneys rendering the opinions as to legal issues expressly
addressed therein. By rendering a legal opinion,the opinion giver does not become an insurer or guarantor
of the result indicated by that expression of professional judgment, or of the transaction on which the
opinion is rendered,or of the future performance of parties to the transaction. Nor does the rendering of an
opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise out of the transaction.
Pending and Threatened Litigation Involving the County
In connection with the issuance of the Series 2019 Certificates,the County Attorney is expected to
render an opinion stating that, to the best of its actual knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry, or investigation pending in which the County is a party that would challenge the validity or the
execution and delivery of the Series 2019 Certificates. [[CONFIRM OPINION]]
The County, like similar governmental entities, is subject to a variety of suits and proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business. Upon the execution and delivery of the Series 2019 Certificates,
the County will deliver a certificate to the effect that there is no litigation pending or threatened materially
adversely affecting the ability of the County to make the payments required under the Series 2019
Certificates,to enter into the Lease or the Improvement Lease,and to secure the Series 2019 Certificates as
provided in the Indenture.
Indenture to Constitute Contract
The Indenture provides that it constitute contracts among the Trustee and the Owners of the Series
2019 Certificates, and that it will remain in full force and effect until the Series 2019 Certificates are no
longer Outstanding.
TAX MATTERS
Federal Tax Matters
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended(the "Code"), contains a number of restrictions
and requirements that apply to the Series 2019 Certificates including, without limitation, (i) investment
restrictions, (ii)requirements for periodic payments of arbitrage profits to the United States, and(iii)rules
53
regarding the proper use of the proceeds of the Series 2019 Certificates and the facilities financed or
refinanced with such proceeds. The County has covenanted to comply with all of the restrictions and
requirements of the Code that must be satisfied in order for the interest portion of payments made by the
County under the Lease and received by Owners of the Series 2019 Certificates(the"Certificate Interest
Portion")to be and remain excludable from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax
purposes(the"Tax Covenants").
In the opinion of Ballard Spahr LLP, Denver, Colorado, Special Counsel to the County, the
Certificate Interest Portion is excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income tax under
existing laws as enacted and construed on the date of initial delivery of the Series 2019 Certificates,
assuming the accuracy of the certifications of the County and continuing compliance by the County with
the requirements of the Code. The Certificate Interest Portion is not an item of tax preference for purposes
of individual federal alternative minimum tax. Special Counsel expresses no opinion regarding other
federal tax consequences relating to ownership or disposition of,or the accrual or receipt of the Certificate
Interest Portion.
The Series 2019 Certificates are being designated by the County as "qualified tax-exempt
obligations"under Section 265(b)(3)of the Code and therefore the interest expense of a financial institution
will not be subject to allocation to the Certificate Interest Portion under Section 265(b)of the Code(but the
Certificate Interest Portion will be subject to treatment as a financial institution preference item under
Section 291 of the Code).
In rendering its opinion, Special Counsel will rely on, and will assume the accuracy of, certain
representations and certifications,and compliance by the County with certain covenants,including the Tax
Covenants. Special Counsel will not independently verify the accuracy of the County's representations and
certifications. In addition, Special Counsel has not been engaged, and will not undertake, to monitor
compliance with the Tax Covenants or to inform any person as to whether the Tax Covenants are being
complied with; nor has Special Counsel undertaken to determine or to inform any person whether any
actions taken or not taken,or events occurring or not occurring,after the date of issuance of the Series 2019
Certificates may affect the federal tax status of the Certificate Interest Portion. Failure to comply with
certain of the Tax Covenants could result in the inclusion of the Certificate Interest Portion in the gross
income of the owners for federal income tax purposes,retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series 2019
Certificates.
Certain requirements and procedures contained or referred to in the Indenture and certain other
documents executed in connection with the issuance of the Series 2019 Certificates may be changed and
certain actions (including,without limitation, defeasance of the Series 2019 Certificates) may be taken or
omitted in the future if a legal opinion is rendered at the time to the effect that such action will not cause
the Certificate Interest Portion to be included in the gross income of the owners for federal income tax
purposes. The opinion of Special Counsel rendered in connection with the initial issuance of the Series
2019 Certificates will not address any such actions.
Original Issue Discount. Certain of the Series 2019 Certificates may be offered at a discount
("original issue discount") equal generally to the difference between the public offering price and the
principal portion of payments made by the County under the Lease. For federal income tax purposes,
original issue discount on a Series 2019 Certificate accrues periodically over the term of the Series 2019
Certificate as interest with the same tax exemption and alternative minimum tax status as regular interest.
The accrual of original issue discount increases the holder's tax basis in the Series 2019 Certificate for
determining taxable gain or loss upon sale or redemption prior to maturity. Holders should consult their
tax advisers for an explanation of the accrual rules.
54
Original Issue Premium. Certain of the Series 2019 Certificates may be offered at a premium
("original issue premium")over the principal portion of payments made by the County under the Lease.
For federal income tax purposes, original issue premium is amortizable periodically over the term of such
Series 2019 Certificate through reductions in the holder's tax basis for such Series 2019 Certificate for
determining taxable gain or loss upon sale or redemption prior to maturity. Amortization of premium does
not create a deductible expense or loss. Holders should consult their tax advisors for an explanation of the
amortization rules.
Backup Withholding.
A person making payments of tax-exempt interest to a holder is generally required to make an
information report of the payments to the Internal Revenue Service and to perform "backup withholding"
from the interest if the holder does not provide an IRS Form W-9 to the payor."Backup withholding"means
that the payor withholds tax from the interest payments at the backup withholding rate,currently 24%.
Form W-9 states the holder's taxpayer identification number or basis of exemption from backup
withholding. If a holder purchasing a Series 2019 Certificate through a brokerage account has executed a
Form W-9 in connection with the account, as generally can be expected, there should be no backup
withholding from the Certificate Interest Portion.
If backup withholding occurs, it does not affect the excludability of the Certificate Interest Portion
from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Any amounts withheld pursuant to backup withholding
would be allowed as a refund or a credit against the owner's federal income tax once the required
information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
State of Colorado Tax Matters
In the opinion of Special Counsel, under existing law, to the extent that the Certificate Interest
Portion is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, such interest is also excludable
from gross income for State of Colorado income tax purposes and from the calculation of State of Colorado
alternative minimum taxable income. Special Counsel will express no opinion regarding other State or
local tax consequences arising with respect to the Series 2019 Certificates,including whether the Certificate
Interest Portion is exempt from taxation under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado.
No Further Opinion
Special Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any other tax consequences relating to ownership
or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Series 2019 Certificates. Further, certain
requirements and procedures contained or referred to in the Lease and certain other documents executed in
connection with the execution and delivery of the Series 2019 Certificates may be changed and certain
actions(including,without limitation, defeasance of the Series 2019 Certificates)may be taken or omitted
in the future if a legal opinion is rendered at the time to the effect that such action will not cause the
Certificate Interest Portion to be included in the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes.
The opinion of Special Counsel rendered in connection with the initial execution and delivery of the Series
2019 Certificates will not address any such actions. Special Counsel will express no opinion as to the effect
that any termination of the County's obligations under the Lease, under certain circumstances as provided
in the Lease, may have on the treatment for federal income tax purposes of any money received or paid
under the Indenture subsequent to such termination.
General
55
The opinions expressed by Special Counsel are based upon existing legislation and regulations as
interpreted by relevant judicial and regulatory authorities as of the date of issuance and delivery of the
Series 2019 Certificates, and Special Counsel has expressed no opinion as of any date subsequent thereto
or with respect to any proposed or pending legislation,regulatory initiatives or litigation.
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain provisions of the Code as enacted and in effect
on the date hereof and does not purport to be complete; holders of the Series 2019 Certificates should
consult their own tax advisors as to the effects, if any, of the Code in their particular circumstances.
See Appendix E hereto for the proposed form of Special Counsel Opinion.
RATING
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") has assigned the Series 2019 Certificates a rating of

obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Agreement,the County has not undertaken any responsibility
to bring to the attention of the owners of the Series 2019 Certificates any proposed change in or withdrawal
of such rating once received or to oppose any such proposed revision. Any such change in or withdrawal
of the rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series 2019 Certificates.
MISCELLANEOUS

Overview
Colorado ("the State"), the most populous state in the Rocky Mountain region, has three distinct
geographic and economic areas. The eastern half of the State consists of the eastern plains,which are flat,
open, and largely devoted to agriculture. The Front Range lies along the eastern base of the Rocky
Mountains and contains most of the State's metropolitan areas. The western half of the State — which
includes the Rocky Mountains and the Western Slope — includes many acres of national park and forest
land and significant reserves of minerals,natural gas, and other resources.
The State's population and wealth are concentrated in the Front Range, principally in four major
metropolitan areas: Fort Collins/Greeley, Denver/Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo. This report
presents data for Eagle County, which is not included in any metropolitan statistical area. Eagle County
represents 1%of the State's population and 1.2%of its jobs. Top industries in the region include hospitality,
health care,and government. The region is known for its resort communities,with 23.8%of its employees
working in the accommodation and food service industry. The next largest industries are retail trade
(11.2%)and construction(10.8%).

Data is available quarterly for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan statistical areas. According to the
FHFA, home prices rose in 98 of the 100 largest MSAs in the U.S. over the last four quarters. Based on
data for all 404 metropolitan statistical areas and divisions for which data is compiled, annual price
increases were greatest in the Las Vegas-Henderson-Paradise where prices increased by 17.6%. Prices
were weakest in the Johnstown, PA MSA where they fell by 7.2%.
Eagle County is included in the nonmetropolitan area of the state. Home prices increased 8.9%in
the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.
Foreclosure Activity
The following table provides a five-year history of foreclosure filings and sales in Eagle County,
the State,and the U.S. The foreclosure filing is the event that begins the foreclosure process. In general,a
borrower who is at least three months delinquent will receive a filing notice from the Public Trustee for the
county in which the property is located. At this point,the property is in foreclosure.
Because a foreclosure filing can be cured or withdrawn before the home is sold at auction, not all
filings result in foreclosure sales. Foreclosure sales at auction generally proceed between 110 and 125 days
after the initial filing. Once a foreclosure sale is completed,the eviction process begins.

FORM OF SPECIAL COUNSEL OPINION
E-1
APPENDIX F
BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM
The information in this section concerning The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") New York,
New York and DTC's book-entry-only system has been obtained from DTC, and the County and
Underwriter take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof
DTC will act as securities depository for the Series 2019 Certificates. The Series 2019 Certificates
will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership
nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-
registered certificate will be issued for the Series 2019 Certificates, as set forth on the cover page hereof,
in the aggregate principal amount of each maturity of the Series 2019 Certificates and deposited with DTC.
DTC,the world's largest securities depository,is a limited-purpose trust company organized under
the New York Banking Law,a"banking organization"within the meaning of the New York Banking Law,
a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code, and a"clearing agency"registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues
of U.S. and non U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments
(from over 100 countries)that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also
facilitates the post trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in
deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct
Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct
Participants include both U.S.and non U.S.securities brokers and dealers,banks,trust companies,clearing
corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust
&Clearing Corporation("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC,National Securities Clearing
Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation,all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC
is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others
such as both U.S. and non U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing
corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant,either directly
or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has a Standard & Poor's rating of AA+. The DTC Rules
applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information
about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
Purchases of the Series 2019 Certificates under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct
Participants,which will receive a credit for the Series 2019 Certificates on DTC's records. The ownership
interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2019 Certificate ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be
recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written
confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written
confirmations providing details of the transaction,as well as periodic statements of their holdings,from the
Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers
of ownership interests in the Series 2019 Certificates are to be accomplished by entries made on the books
of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not
receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Series 2019 Certificates,except in the event
that use of the book entry-system for the Series 2019 Certificates is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers,all 2019 Certificates deposited by Direct Participants with DTC
are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of 2019 Certificates with DTC and their
F-1
registration in the name of Cede& Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial
ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of 2019 Certificates; DTC's records
reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such 2019 Certificates are credited,
which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants remain responsible
for keeping accounts of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial -
Owners will be governed by arrangements among them,subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements
as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of the Series 2019 Certificates may wish to take
certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Series
2019 Certificate, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Series 2019
Certificate documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of the Series 2019 Certificates may wish to
ascertain that the nominee holding the Series 2019 Certificates for their benefit has agreed to obtain and
transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their
names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.
Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Series 2019 Certificates within an
issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct
Participant in such issue to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to
2019 Certificates unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's MMI Procedures.
Under its usual procedures,DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the County as soon as possible after the record
date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede&Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to
whose accounts the Series 2019 Certificates are credited on the record date(identified in a listing attached
to the Omnibus Proxy).
Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Series 2019 Certificates are to
be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and
corresponding detail information from the County or Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their
respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be
governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the
accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in"street name," and will be the responsibility of such
Participant and not of DTC,the Trustee Agent or County,subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements
as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend
payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC) is the responsibility of the County or the Trustee Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct
Participants will be the responsibility of DTC,and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners
will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its 2019 Certificates purchased or tendered,
through its Participant,to Tender or Remarketing Agent,and shall effect delivery of such 2019 Certificates
by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant's interest in the Series 2019 Certificates, on
DTC's records,to Tender or Remarketing Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of the Series 2019
Certificates in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when
the ownership rights in the Series 2019 Certificates are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC's records
and followed by a book-entry credit for tendered 2019 Certificates to Tender or Remarketing Agent's DTC
account.
F-2
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Series 2019
Certificates at any time by giving reasonable notice to the County or the Trustee Agent. Under such
circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Series 2019 Certificates
are required to be printed and delivered.
The County may decide to discontinue use of the system of book entry only transfers through DTC
(or a successor securities depository). In that event,certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system that has been
obtained from sources that the County believes to be reliable,but the County takes no responsibility for the
accuracy thereof.
