SOLARIS METROPOLITAN DISTRICT NO. 1
2019 BUDGET MESSAGE
Solaris Metropolitan District No. 1 is a quasi-municipal corporation organized and operated
pursuant to provisions set forth in the Colorado Special District Act. The District was
established to supply the necessary public improvements and related operation and maintenance
services as such power and authority is described in the Special District Act, and other applicable
statutes.
The District has no employees and all operations and administrative functions are contracted.
The following budget is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting, which is
consistent with the basis of accounting used in presenting the District's financial statements.
2019 BUDGET STRATEGY
The District was formed in late 2006. The District has joined with Solaris Metropolitan District
No. 2 and Solaris Metropolitan District No. 3 in adopting a consolidated service plan. Under this
consolidated service plan, the District is the “service district” and Solaris Metropolitan District
No. 2 and No. 3 are the “financing districts.”
As such, the District is responsible for managing the construction and operation of facilities and
improvements needed for the Solaris Metropolitan District No. 2 and No. 3 areas. For this
reason, the District issued $30,560,000 property tax revenue variable rate bonds on March 25,
2008 to be repaid with revenues pledged by Solaris Metropolitan District No. 2 and No. 3.
During 2013 Solaris Metropolitan District No. 2 issued bonds and transferred the proceeds to
District No. 1 and the 2008 bonds were paid off and the District has no bonds currently
outstanding.
Operating expenses are funded pursuant to an Operating Agreement between Solaris
Metropolitan District Nos. 1, 2 and 3. District No. 1 performs the operations and the operating
expenses are funded through property tax revenues collected by the “financing” districts (No. 2
and No. 3) and paid to District No. 1. Additionally, the Developer in the District advances funds
to District No. 1 for operations and then such advances are repaid as the property tax revenues
are received.

SOLARIS METROPOLITAN DISTRICT NO. 2
2019 BUDGET MESSAGE
Solaris Metropolitan District No. 2 is a quasi-municipal corporation organized and operated
pursuant to provisions set forth in the Colorado Special District Act. The District was
established to supply the necessary public improvements and related operation and maintenance
services as such power and authority is described in the Colorado Special District Act, and other
applicable statutes.
The District has no employees and all operations and administrative functions are contracted.
The following budget is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting, which is
consistent with the basis of accounting used in presenting the District's financial statements.
2019 BUDGET STRATEGY
The District was formed in late 2006. The District has joined with Solaris Metropolitan District
No. 1 and Solaris Metropolitan District No. 3 in adopting a consolidated service plan. Under this
consolidated service plan, Solaris Metropolitan District No. 1 is the “service district” and Solaris
Metropolitan Districts No. 2 and No. 3 are the “financing districts.”
As such, Solaris Metropolitan District No.1 is responsible for managing the construction and
operation of facilities and improvements needed for the Solaris Metro Districts No. 2 and No. 3
areas. Initially Solaris Metropolitan District No. 1 issued $30,560,000 property tax revenue
variable rate bonds on March 25, 2008 to be repaid with revenues pledged by Solaris
Metropolitan District No. 2 and No. 3. During 2013 Solaris Metropolitan District No. 2 issued
bonds and transferred the proceeds to District No. 1 and District No. 1’s 2008 bonds were paid
off. During 2016 Solaris Metropolitan District No. 3 issued bonds and transferred the proceeds
to District No. 2 and District No. 2’s 2013 bonds were paid off. Solaris Metropolitan District
No. 2 and No. 3 levy a debt service mill levy to pay the debt service on District No. 3’s 2016
bonds.
Operating expenses are funded pursuant to an Operating Agreement between Solaris
Metropolitan District Nos. 1, 2 and 3. District No. 1 performs the operations and the operating
expenses are funded through property tax revenues collected by the “financing” districts (No. 2
and No. 3) and paid to District No. 1.

SOLARIS METROPOLITAN DISTRICT NO. 3
2019 BUDGET MESSAGE
Solaris Metropolitan District No. 3 is a quasi-municipal corporation organized and operated
pursuant to provisions set forth in the Colorado Special District Act. The District was
established to supply the necessary public improvements and related operation and maintenance
services as such power and authority is described in the Colorado Special District Act, and other
applicable statutes.
The District has no employees and all operations and administrative functions are contracted.
The following budget is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting, which is
consistent with the basis of accounting used in presenting the District's financial statements.
2019 BUDGET STRATEGY
The District was formed in late 2006. The District has joined with Solaris Metropolitan District
No. 1 and Solaris Metropolitan District No. 2 in adopting a consolidated service plan. Under this
consolidated service plan, Solaris Metropolitan District No. 1 is the “service district” and Solaris
Metropolitan Districts No. 2 and No. 3 are the “financing districts.”
As such, Solaris Metropolitan District No.1 is responsible for managing the construction and
operation of facilities and improvements needed for the Solaris Metro Districts No. 2 and No. 3
areas. Initially Solaris Metropolitan District No. 1 issued $30,560,000 property tax revenue
variable rate bonds on March 25, 2008 to be repaid with revenues pledged by Solaris
Metropolitan District Nos. 2 and 3. During 2013 Solaris Metropolitan District No. 2 issued
bonds and transferred the proceeds to District No. 1 and District No. 1’s 2008 bonds were paid
off. During 2016 Solaris Metropolitan District No. 3 issued bonds and transferred the proceeds
to District No. 2 and District No. 2’s 2013 bonds were paid off. Solaris Metropolitan District
No. 2 and No. 3 levy a debt service mill levy to pay the debt service on District No. 3’s 2016
bonds.
Operating expenses are funded pursuant to an Operating Agreement between Solaris
Metropolitan District Nos. 1, 2 and 3. District No. 1 performs the operations and the operating
expenses are funded through property tax revenues collected by the “financing” districts (No. 2
and No. 3) and paid to District No. 1.
