INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
May 29, 2021
To the Board of Directors and Management
Avon Station Metropolitan District
c/o Marchetti & Weaver LLC
28 Second Street, Suite 21300
Edwards, CO 81632
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, and each major fund of
Avon Station Metropolitan District, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes to
the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the
table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of Avon Station Metropolitan District, as of
December 31, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis and general fund budgetary comparison information on pages 3–5 and 23 be presented
to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential
part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of
inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge
we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express
an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise Avon Station Metropolitan District’s basic financial statements. The schedule of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balance – budget and actual – debt service fund is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance – budget and actual – debt service fund is
the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our
opinion, the schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance – budget and actual – debt service
fund is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The summary of assessed valuation, mill levy, and property tax collection has not been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on it.

Avon Station Metropolitan District
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
December 31, 2020
As management of Avon Station Metropolitan District (the “District”), we offer readers of the District’s
financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2020
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the District’s basic financial
statements. The District’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide
financial statements; 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report
also contains supplementary information presented after the notes to the financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to
provide readers with a broad overview of the District’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector
business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the District’s assets, deferred outflows,
liabilities, and deferred inflows with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is
improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying
event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues
and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future
fiscal periods.
The governmental activity of the District is primarily financing construction, operation, and maintenance of
the basic public infrastructure that is performed by Confluence Metropolitan District. There are no
business-type activities within the District.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 6 and 7 of this report.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control
over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District, like other state
and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related
legal requirements. The District currently has two funds, the General Fund and the Debt Service Fund,
both of which are governmental funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows
and outflows of expendable resources, as well as on balances of expendable resources available at the
end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing
requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing
decisions. Both the expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

Overview of the Financial Statements (continued)
Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The Notes to
the Financial Statements can be found on pages 12 through 22 of this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis. A condensed comparative summary of the District’s
government-wide assets, liabilities, deferred inflows, net position, revenues and expenditures follows:
The District is the “financing district” in a dual district structure whereby the District is financing the cost of
constructing, operating and maintaining the infrastructure being built and operated by Confluence
Metropolitan District (CMD). This infrastructure is being constructed to benefit the constituents of Avon
Station Metropolitan District (ASMD). The District entered into a District Facilities Construction and
Service Agreement with CMD which has subsequently been amended. Pursuant to this agreement, as
amended, CMD is obligated to construct and provide the initial financing for the primary infrastructure for
the ASMD area. ASMD will ultimately pay a “capital obligation” to reimburse CMD for the costs to

construct the infrastructure. ASMD will also pay a “service obligation” to reimburse CMD for the operating
costs associated with administering and maintaining the assets.
Government-wide Financial Analysis (continued)
The majority of the District’s assets consist of property taxes receivable, representing those taxes levied
in 2020 that will be collected in 2021. The District has an obligation to pay Confluence for the cost of
constructing, operating, and maintaining the infrastructure assets and these obligations are reflected as
long-term obligations on the District’s government-wide balance sheet.
The District’s primary revenue sources were property taxes collected. These revenues have been used
to pay the expenses of the District. The majority of the District’s expenses relate to the transfer of
property taxes collected to Confluence Metropolitan District which are used to reduce the capital and
service obligations owed.
Financial Analysis of the District’s Funds
As mentioned earlier, the District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the District’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-
term inflows, outflows, and balances of expendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing
the District’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the District’s governmental funds reported a combined ending
fund balance of $138,968 which reflects an increase of $18,352 from 2019.
Budget Variances. The District expenditures were similar to budgeted results. Details can be seen on
pages 23 and 25.
Capital assets. As stated above, the infrastructure in the District is being constructed and maintained by
Confluence Metropolitan District. Any assets constructed with funding from or at the direction of CMD
that are not dedicated to other governmental entities remain with CMD for ownership, operation and
maintenance.
Long-term debts. The District’s remaining capital and service obligation to Confluence for the balance of
the cost of the infrastructure incurred through December 31, 2020 is $28,537,582. Additional information
can be found in the Notes to the Financial Statement on page 20.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget. It is anticipated COVID-19 will have impacts on the
economy as a whole which will include financial impacts to the District, however the extent of such impact
remains unknown at this time.

NOTE A – DEFINITION OF REPORTING ENTITY
Avon Station Metropolitan District (ASMD), a quasi-municipal organization, was organized on February
8, 1999, and is governed pursuant to provisions of the Colorado Special District Act. The District’s service
area is located in Eagle County, Colorado. The District was established as part of a dual district structure
with the Confluence Metropolitan District (CMD). The District is considered the financing district and
was established to provide funding and tax base for capital improvements that will benefit the District.
The capital improvements are owned and maintained by Confluence Metropolitan District, the Service
District (see Note F).
The District has no employees and all services are contracted.
The District follows the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) accounting pronouncements
which provide guidance for determining which governmental activities, organizations and functions should
be included within the financial reporting entity. GASB pronouncements set forth the financial
accountability of a governmental organization’s elected governing body as the basic criterion for including
a possible component governmental organization in a primary government’s legal entity. Financial
accountability includes, but is not limited to, appointment of a voting majority of the organization’s
governing body, ability to impose its will on the organization, a potential for the organization to provide
specific financial benefits or burdens and fiscal dependency.
015of any other primary governmental entity.
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies of the District are as follows:
Basis of Presentation
The District’s basic financial statements consist of government-wide statements, including a Statement of
Net Position and a Statement of Activities, and fund financial statements which provide a more detailed
level of financial information.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the District as a
whole. These statements include the financial activities of the primary government.
The Statement of Net Position presents the financial condition of the governmental activities at year-end.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between program expenses and the program revenues
for each program or function of the District’s governmental activities. Program expenses are those that are

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Basis of Presentation (continued)
specifically associated with a service, program, or department; and, therefore, clearly identifiable to a
particular function. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient of the goods or services offered
by the program, grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operations or capital
requirements of a particular program, and interest earned on grants that is required to be used to support a
particular program. Revenues which are not classified as program revenues are presented as general
revenues of the District, with certain limited exceptions. The comparison of program expenses with
program revenues identifies the extent to which each governmental function is self-financing or draws
from the general revenues of the District.
Fund Financial Statements
During the year, the District segregates transactions related to certain District functions or activities in
separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. Fund financial
statements are designed to present financial information of the District at this more detailed level. The
focus of governmental fund financial statements is on major funds.
Fund Accounting
The accounts of the District are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate
accounting entity. Fund types used by the District are described below.
Government Fund Types
General Fund – the General Fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is used to account for all
financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Debt Service Fund – The Debt Service Fund is used to account for all financial resources for the payment
of long-term obligations due to Confluence Metropolitan District.
Measurement Focus
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus.
All assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources associated with the operation of the District are
included in the Statement of Net Position.
Avon Station Metropolitan District
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 14 -
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Measurement Focus (continued)
Fund Financial Statements
All governmental funds are accounted for using a flow of current financial resources measurement focus.
With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the
balance sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances reports on the
sources (revenues and other financing sources) and uses (expenditures and other financing uses) of current
financial resources. This approach differs from the manner in which the governmental activities of the
government-wide financial statements are prepared. Governmental fund financial statements therefore
include a reconciliation with brief explanations to better identify the relationship between the government-
wide statements and the statements for governmental funds.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting determines when transactions are recorded in the financial records and reported on the
financial statements. Government-wide financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting. Governmental funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting. Differences in the accrual
and modified accrual basis of accounting arise in the recognition of revenue, the recording of unavailable
revenue, and in the presentation of expenses versus expenditures.
Revenues
Revenue resulting from an exchange transaction, in which each party gives and receives essentially the
same value, is recorded in the fiscal year in which the resources are both measurable and available to
finance expenditures of the fiscal period, typically within sixty days of realization.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the District receives value without directly giving value in return,
include property taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. Revenue from property taxes is recognized in
the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is
recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. On a modified
accrual basis, revenue from non-exchange transactions must be available before it can be recognized.
Expenses/Expenditures
On the accrual basis of accounting, expenses are recognized at the time they are incurred.
The measurement focus of governmental funds accounting is on decreases in net financial resources
(expenditures) rather than expenses. Expenditures are generally recognized in the accounting period in
which the fund liability is incurred, if measurable. Allocations of cost, such as depreciation and
amortization, are not recognized in the governmental funds.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Budgets
In accordance with State Budget Law, the District’s Board of Directors holds a public hearing in the fall
each year to approve the budget and appropriate the funds for the ensuing year. The appropriation is at the
total fund expenditures level and lapses at year-end. The District’s Board of Directors can modify the
budget by line item within the total appropriation without notification. The appropriation can only be
modified upon completion of notification and publication requirements.
The budget includes each fund on its basis of accounting unless otherwise indicated.
Encumbrance accounting (open purchase orders, contracts in process and other commitments for the
expenditures of funds in future periods) is not used by the District for budget or financial reporting
purposes.
Cash Equivalents
The District’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, investment
pools and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of
acquisition.
Accrued Liabilities and Long-Term Obligations
All payables, accrued liabilities, and long-term obligations are reported in the government-wide financial
statements.
In general, governmental fund payables and accrued liabilities that, once incurred, are paid in a timely
manner and in full from current financial resources, are reported as obligation of the funds. Long-term
obligations are recognized as a liability on the governmental fund financial statements when due.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources,
represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as
an outflow of resources (expenses/expenditure) until then. The District has no amounts that qualify as
deferred outflows of resources as of December 31, 2020.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources,
Avon Station Metropolitan District
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as
an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from
property taxes for which there is an enforceable legal claim as of December 31, 2020, but which are levied
to financial year 2021. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period
that the amounts become available.
Net Position
In the government-wide financial statements, net position represents the difference between assets and
deferred outflows of resources and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Net position is reported
as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislation adopted
by the District, or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws, or regulations of
other governments.
The District applies restricted resources first when an expense is incurred for the purpose for which both
restricted and unrestricted net position are available.
Fund Balances
In the fund financial statements the following classifications describe the relative strength of the spending
constraints:
Non-spendable fund balance – The portion of fund balance that cannot be spent because it is either not in
spendable form (such as prepaid expenses) or it is legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted fund balance – The portion of fund balance constrained to being used for a specific purpose by
external parties (such as grantors or bondholders), constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. The
District’s restricted fund balance represents amount reserved for emergencies under the Colorado State
Constitution. A restriction of $310 of the General Fund’s fund balance has been made in compliance with
this requirement.
Committed fund balance – the portion of fund balance constrained for specific purposes according to
limitations imposed by the Board of Directors prior to the end of the fiscal year. The constraint may be
removed or changed only through formal action of the Board of Directors. The District has no committed
fund balance.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Fund Balances (continued)
Assigned fund balance – The portion of fund balance set aside for planned or intended purposes. The
intended use may be expressed by the Board of Directors or other individuals authorized to assign funds
to be used for a specific purpose. This classification is necessary to indicate that those funds are, at a
minimum, intended to be used for the purpose of that particular fund. The fund balance in the District’s
debt service fund is assigned for capital and service obligations.
Unassigned fund balance – The residual portion of fund balance that does not meet any of the above
criteria. The District will only report a positive unassigned fund balance in the General Fund.
If both restricted and unrestricted amounts of fund balance are available for use when expenditure is made,
it is the District’s policy to use restricted amounts first. Unrestricted fund balance will be used in the
following order: committed, assigned, and then unassigned.
Property Taxes
Property taxes are levied by the District Board of Directors. The levy is based on assessed valuation
determined by the County Assessor generally as of January 1 of each year. The levy is normally set by
December 15 by certification to the County Commissioners to put the tax lien on the individual property
as of January 1 of the following year. The County treasurer collects the determined taxes during the
ensuing calendar year. The taxes are payable by April or if in equal installments, at the taxpayers’ election,
in February and June. Delinquent taxpayers are notified in August and generally sales of the tax liens on
delinquent properties are normally held in November or December. The County Treasurer remits the taxes
collected monthly to the District.
Property taxes, net of estimated uncollectible taxes, are recorded initially as deferred inflows of resources
in the year there is an enforceable lien placed on the property and recognized as revenue in the period for
which they are levied.
Estimates
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

NOTE C – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Deposits
At December 31, 2020, the District’s cash deposits had a carrying value of $5,316 and a corresponding
bank balance of $5,501, all of which was FDIC insured.
Deposits are exposed to custodial credit risk (the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, the government would not be able to recover deposits or would not be able to recover
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party), if they are not covered by depository
insurance and are collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution, except for
deposits collateralized by certain types of collateral pools including a single financial institution collateral
pool where the fair value of the pool is equal to or exceeds all uninsured public deposits held by the
financial institution (e.g. deposits insured by The Public Deposit Protection Act (PDPA). Accordingly,
none of the District’s deposits at December 31, 2020, are deemed to be exposed to custodial credit risk.
The Colorado Public Deposit Protection Act (PDPA) requires that all units of local government deposit
cash in eligible public depositories. Eligibility is determined by state regulators. Amounts on deposit in
excess off federal insurance levels must be collateralized. The eligible collateral is specified by PDPA.
PDPA allows the institution to create a single collateral pool for all public funds held. The pool is to be
maintained by another institution or held in trust for all the uninsured public deposits as a group. The
market value of the collateral must be at least equal to 102% of the uninsured deposits.
Investments
Colorado Statutes specify investment instruments meeting defined rating and risk criteria in which local
governments may invest which include:
Obligations of the United States and certain United States government agency securities
General obligation and revenue bonds of Unites States local government entities
Bankers’ acceptances of certain banks
Commercial paper
Written repurchase agreements collateralized by certain authorized securities
Certain money market funds
Local government investment pools
Local Government Investment Pools – As of December 31, 2020, the District had $136,136 invested in the
Colorado Local Government Liquid Asset Trust (ColoTrust), a local government investment pool. As an
investment pool, Colotrust operates under the Colorado Revised Statutes (24-75-701) and is overseen by
the Colorado Securities Commissioner. Colotrust invests in securities that are specified by the Colorado
Revised Statutes (24-75-601). Authorized securities include US Treasuries, US Agencies, commercial

paper (rated A1 or better) and bank deposits (collateralized through PDPA). Colotrust operates similar to
a 2a-7-like money market fund with a share value equal to $1.00 and a maximum weighted average
maturity of 60 days. Colotrust is rated AAA by the Standard & Poor’s Corporation. A designated custodial
bank provides banking services and trust custody for securities held on behalf of the participating
governments in Colotrust. The custodian’s internal records identify the investments owned by the
participating governments.

NOTE F – AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES
District Facilities Construction and Service Agreement
ASMD has entered into a second Amended and Restated Joint Facilities Construction and Service
Agreement with Confluence Metropolitan District (CMD) dated April 26, 2007.
Under the agreement, ASMD is to provide funding and the necessary tax base for financing the
construction, operation, and maintenance of the public improvements that benefit both Districts. ASMD
may also obtain financing for the construction of the public improvements and pay the proceeds to the
CMD.
CMD will manage the construction and operation of the public improvements, and own, operate, and
maintain the public improvements pursuant to a long-term operations and maintenance program.
Under the agreement, ASMD is required to pay CMD all revenue raised from mill levies assessed by
ASMD to offset the operating expenses and construction costs incurred by CMD for provisions of services
to property within ASMD.
ASMD has assigned all revenue raised from mill levies assessed by AMSD to CMD in order to offset the
expenses of the construction of the public improvement and ASMD’s costs of operation and maintenance
of such public improvements. The Agreement remains in force until all terms and conditions have been
performed in their entirety.
During 2020 ASMD paid $1,063,054 to CMD in accordance with this agreement. ASMD has a service
and capital obligation to Confluence Metropolitan District pursuant to the agreement for costs incurred in
excess of funds received. The agreement does not establish specific payment dates for these obligations.
The capital and service obligations total $28,537,582 at December 31, 2020.
Capital Pledge Agreement
On May 1, 2007 the District entered into a capital pledge agreement with CMD and the Trustee whereby
Avon Station Metropolitan District has pledged certain revenues to assist in the repayment of the
Confluence Metropolitan District bonds to the extent of the pledged revenues.
Intergovernmental Agreement with Avon Urban Renewal Authority
The District entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Avon Urban Renewal Authority (the
“Authority”) and Confluence Metropolitan District concerning incremental taxes on October 9, 2007.

Under the agreement the Authority agreed to remit to the Districts the incremental revenue it receives as a
result of ad valorem property taxes and specific ownership taxes levied by the Districts except those upon
Lot B in ASMD and upon any increase in the number of dwelling units permitted or commercial square
footage in the zoning entitlement as of February 27, 2007. The Districts can use any District Tax Increment
Revenue remitted for those purposes permitted by the Service Plan, including paying for public
improvements within the Districts. For the year ended December 31, 2020, approximately $435,631 tax
increment revenue was collected under this agreement.
NOTE G – RISK MANAGEMENT
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, thefts of, damage to, or destruction of assets;
errors or omissions; injuries to employees, or acts of God.
The District is a member of the Colorado Special Districts Property and Liability Pool (Pool) as of
December 31, 2020. The Pool is an organization created by intergovernmental agreement to provide
property, liability, public officials’ liability, boiler and machinery, and workers’ compensation coverage to
its members. Settled claims have not exceeded this coverage in the past three years.
The District pays annual premiums to the Pool for liability, property, and public officials’ coverage. In the
event aggregated losses incurred by the pool exceed amounts recoverable from reinsurance contracts and
funds accumulated by the Pool, the Pool may require additional contributions from the Pool members. Any
excess funds which the Pool determines are not needed for purposes of the Pool may be returned to the
members pursuant to a distribution formula.
NOTE H – ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY
The District receives the majority of its revenues from property taxes. Under the provisions of a District
Facilities Construction and Service Agreement as well as the Capital Pledge Agreement (discussed in Note
F), ASMD is required to remit to CMD all revenue raised from mill levies assessed by ASMD to offset the
operating expenses and construction costs incurred by CMD for provisions of services to property within
ASMD. These tax revenues collected by ASMD have not been sufficient since 2012 to fully pay down the
capital obligations. Until the tax base grows to the needed levels, the District will continue to accrue further
obligations.

NOTE I – TAX, SPENDING AND DEBT LIMITATIONS
Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution, commonly known as the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights
(TABOR), contains tax, spending, revenue and debt limitation which apply to the State of Colorado and
all local governments.
Spending and revenue limits are determined based on the prior year’s Fiscal Year Spending adjusted for
allowable increases based upon inflation and local growth. Fiscal Year Spending is generally defined as
expenditures plus reserve increases with certain exceptions. Revenue in excess of the Fiscal Year Spending
limit must be refunded unless the voters approve retention of such revenue.
TABOR requires local governments to establish emergency reserves. These reserves must be at least 3%
of Fiscal Year Spending, excluding bonded debt service. Local governments are not allowed to use the
emergency reserves to compensate for economic conditions, revenue shortfalls, or salary or benefit
increases.
On November 3, 1998, a majority of the District’s electors authorized the District (1) to increase taxes
annually unlimited as to rate or amount by the imposition of an ad valorem property tax levy to be in effect
for the life of the debt, which is limited to 20 years and (2) to collect, keep, and expend all District revenue
during 1999, and continuing thereafter without regard to limitation under TABOR.
On May 2, 2006, the majority of the District’s electors, authorized the removal of the 20 year term
restriction on the tax levy.
Also, on November 3, 1998, the voters of the District authorized the issuance of $46,800,000 in debt,
$46,800,000 in contractual obligations, and approved an increase in the property tax revenue to pay such
debt and obligations. On May 2, 2006, voters of the District increased the debt authorization by $1,200,000
and contractual obligations by $46,800,000, bringing the total authorizations to $48,000,000 and
$93,600,000 respectively.
The District’s management believes it is in compliance with the provisions of TABOR. However, TABOR
is complex and subject to interpretation. Many of the provisions, including the interpretation of how to
calculate Fiscal Year Spending limits will require judicial interpretation.

RSI NOTE A – BUDGETARY INFORMATION
Budgets for major governmental funds are adopted on the modified accrual basis where capital
outlays are treated as expenditures and depreciation is not budgeted. The operating budget
includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. The Board of Directors must
approve transfers between funds, or increases to a fund’s budget.
RSI NOTE B – EXPENDITURES/EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF APPROPRIATION
State Statute requires that expenditures and transfers for a fund cannot exceed the appropriations
for that fund. Appropriations for a fund may be increased provided unanticipated resources offset
them.
The budget is controlled at the departmental level within each fund. However, the legal level of
appropriation is within the fund. In 2020, the District did not have any budget violations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
May 29, 2021
To the Board of Directors and Management
Confluence Metropolitan District
c/o Marchetti & Weaver LLC
28 Second Street, Suite 213
Edwards, CO 81632
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of
Confluence Metropolitan District, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table
of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities, and each major fund of Confluence Metropolitan District, as of
December 31, 2019, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Confluence Metropolitan District
Page Two
Emphasis of Matter
As disclosed in Note F to the financial statements, the District was unable to meet its current year mandatory
sinking fund redemption payments in 2019 and it is unclear whether the District will collect sufficient funding
from its taxing districts in future years to be able to meet its obligations beyond 2020. Our opinions are not
modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis and general fund budgetary comparison information on pages 3–5 and 26 be presented
to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential
part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of
inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge
we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express
an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise Confluence Metropolitan District’s basic financial statements. The schedule of revenues, expenditures
and changes in fund balance – budget and actual – debt service fund, the schedule of revenues, expenditures and
changes in fund balance – budget and actual – gondola/capital reserve fund, and the schedule of bond obligations
and interest requirements to maturity is presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements.
The budgetary schedules for the debt service and gondola/capital reserve funds, and the schedule of bond
obligations and interest requirements to maturity, are the responsibility of management and were derived from
and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund
balance – budget and actual – debt service fund, the schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund
balance – budget and actual – gondola/capital reserve fund, and the schedule of bond obligations and interest
requirements to maturity, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as
a whole.

Confluence Metropolitan District
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
December 31, 2020
As management of Confluence Metropolitan District (the “District”), we offer readers of the District’s financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2020.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the District’s basic financial
statements. The District’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide
financial statements; 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also
contains supplementary information presented after the notes to the financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to
provide readers with a broad overview of the District’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector
business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on the District’s assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, and
deferred inflows with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net
position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or
deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during
the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving
rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are
reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.
The governmental activity of the District is the financing, installation and operation of the gondola
transportation and other infrastructure systems for the Avon Station Metropolitan District.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 6 and 7 of this report.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District, like other state and
local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements. The District currently has four funds, the General Fund, the Debt Service Fund, the Capital
Projects Fund, and the Gondola Reserve Fund, all of which are governmental funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported
as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-
wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of
expendable resources, as well as on balances of expendable resources available at the end of the fiscal
year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements,
it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented
for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better
understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the expenditures
and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental
funds and governmental activities. The governmental fund financial statements are located on pages 8
through 10 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The Notes to the
Financial Statements can be found starting on page 12 of this report.

Governmental
Activities
The District is the “service district” in a dual district structure whereby the District constructed the
infrastructure for the Avon Station Metropolitan District (ASMD) subdivision. The District entered into a
District Facilities Construction and Service Agreement with ASMD and pursuant to this agreement, the
District is obligated to construct and provide the initial financing for the primary infrastructure for the ASMD
area. ASMD is the “financing district” and as such, will ultimately pay “capital and service obligations” to
reimburse the District for the costs to construct, maintain, and operate the infrastructure. The District will
then use the funds received from ASMD to pay off the District’s debt. In addition, the District had an
intergovernmental agreement with Mountain Vista Metropolitan District to provide funds for specific
infrastructure regional improvements which expired February 2020.
The District’s revenues consisted primarily of operating and capital contributions received or accrued from
ASMD pursuant to the District Facilities Construction and Service Agreement. Other sources of revenues
include contributions from the Town of Avon toward the operating costs of the gondola and operating and
capital contributions from Mountain Vista Metropolitan District.

Financial Analysis of the District’s Funds
As mentioned earlier, the District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the District’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term
inflows, outflows, and balances of expendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
District’s financing requirements. In particular, unrestricted fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a
government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the District’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund
balance of $1,127,171. The fund balance primarily consists of funds being held in escrow accounts for
capital reserves and future debt payments.
Budget variances. The District expenditures were similar to budgeted results. Details for each of the funds
can be seen on pages 26 through 29 of this report.
Capital assets. The District’s net investment in capital assets decreased by $423,554 as a result of
depreciation expense being greater than capital additions. Additional information as well as a detailed
classification of the District’s net capital assets can be found in the Notes to the Financial Statement on page
18 of this report.
Long-term debts. The District issued tax supported revenue bonds during 2007 in the amount of
$24,665,000. A portion of the bond proceeds were used to repay advances received from the Developer to
finance public facilities and improvements that are within District boundaries. The District did not receive
adequate funding for the debt service payments causing the District to request a withdrawal of $56,625 from
the reserve fund to help cover the debt service interest payments in 2020. The District was unable to fund its
mandatory sinking fund redemption payments for the principal payments due December 1, 2018, 2019 and
2020. Additional information can be found in the Notes to the Financial Statement on page 20 and 21 of this
report.
Economic Conditions and Outlook. Based on the current valuation of properties within the Avon Station
Metropolitan District and the Mountain Vista Metropolitan District the property tax revenues received are not
sufficient to cover the annual debt service payments, requiring draw downs of the bond guaranty fund and
the bond reserve fund. As of December 31,2016, the guaranty fund was exhausted. The debt service
reserve fund has a remaining balance of $776.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget. It is anticipated COVID-19 will have impacts on the economy
as a whole which will include financial impacts to the District, however the extent of such impact remains
unknown at this time.

NOTE A – ORGANIZATION AND DEFINITION OF REPORTING ENTITY
The District, a quasi-municipal organization, was organized on February 8, 1999, and is governed pursuant
to provisions of the Colorado Special District Act. The District’s service area is located in Eagle County,
Colorado. The District was established as part of a dual district structure with the Avon Station
Metropolitan District (ASMD). The District is considered the service district and was established to
provide water, street, traffic and safety, fire protection and emergency medical services, television relay,
transportation, parks and recreation, sanitation, and mosquito and pest control improvements. ASMD is
the financing district and was established to provide funding and tax base for capital improvements
constructed and operated by the District (see Note H).
The District has no employees and all services are contracted.
The District follows the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) accounting pronouncements
which provide guidance for determining which governmental activities, organizations, and functions
should be included within the financial reporting entity. GASB pronouncements set forth the financial
accountability of a governmental organization’s elected governing body as the basic criterion for including
a possible component governmental organization in a primary government’s legal entity. Financial
accountability includes, but is not limited to, appointment of a voting majority of the organization’s
governing body, ability to impose its will on the organization, a potential for the organization to provide
specific financial benefits or burdens and fiscal dependency.
The District is not financially accountable for any other organization, nor is the District a component unit
of any other primary governmental entity.
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The District’s basic financial statements consist of government-wide statements, including the Statement
of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. These financial statements include all of the activities of
the District. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the District as a
whole. These statements include the financial activities of the primary government. The Statement of Net
Position presents the financial condition of the governmental activities at year-end. The Statement of
Activities presents a comparison between program expenses and the program revenues for each program
or function of the District’s governmental activities. Program expenses are those that are specifically
associated with a service, program, or department; and therefore, clearly identifiable to a particular
function. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient of the goods or services offered by the
program, grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of
a particular program, and interest earned on grants that is required to be used to support a particular
program. Revenues which are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues of the
District, with certain limited exceptions. The comparison of program expenses with program revenues
identifies the extent to which each governmental function is self-financing or draws from the general
revenues of the District.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
Measurement focus, basis of accounting and financial statement presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current
liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and
Changes in Fund Balances reports on the sources (revenues and other financing sources) and uses
(expenditures and other financing uses) of current financial resources. This approach differs from the
manner in which the governmental activities of the government-wide financial statements are prepared.
Governmental fund financial statements therefore include reconciliation with brief explanations to better
identify the relationship between the government-wide statements and the statements for governmental
funds.
During the year, the District segregates transactions related to certain District functions or activities in
separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. Fund financial
statements are designed to present financial information of the District at this more detailed level. The
focus of governmental fund financial statements is on major funds.
The District reports the following governmental funds:
General Fund – the General Fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is used to account for all
financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Debt Service Fund – the Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for and
the payment of long-term obligation principal, interest and related costs.
Gondola/Capital Reserve Fund – the Gondola/Capital Reserve Fund is used to account for financial
resources to be used for future repairs of the gondola and capital improvements.
Fair value of financial statements
Investments are stated at fair value in compliance with GASB 72, Fair Value Measurement and
Applications. The definition of fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or pay to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Use of estimates
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Deferred outflows/inflows of resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources,
represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an
outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources,
represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an
inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The District does not have any items that qualify for reporting
in this category.
Capital assets
Capital assets are those items purchased or constructed by the government that have a useful life greater
than 1 year and a cost that meets or exceeds the capitalization threshold of $5,000 as set by District policy.
These assets are reported in the governmental activities column of the government-wide Statement of Net
Position but are not reported in the fund financial statements. All capital assets are capitalized at cost, or
estimated historical cost, and updated for additions and retirements during the year. Donated fixed assets
are recorded at their acquisition value as of the date received. Improvements are capitalized, however, the
costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend an
asset’s life are not capitalized.
All reported capital assets except construction in progress are depreciated. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Improvements 15 years
Gondola 30 years
Buildings 25 years

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
Fund equity
Fund balance for governmental funds should be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based
on the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which
spending can occur. Governmental funds report up to five classifications of fund balance: nonspendable,
restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned. Because circumstances differ among governments, not
every government or every governmental fund will present all of these components. The following
classifications describe the relative strength of the spending constraints:
Nonspendable – The portion of fund balance that cannot be spent because it is either not in spendable
form (such as prepaid amounts or inventory) or is legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted – The portion of fund balance that is constrained to be used for specific purpose by external
parties (such as bondholders), constitutional provisions, or enabling legislation. The District’s restricted
fund balance represents amounts reserved for emergencies under the Colorado State Constitution, and
amounts restricted for debt service.
Committed – The portion of fund balance that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to
constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest level of decision – making authority,
the Board of Directors. The constraint may be removed or changed only though formal action of the Board
of Directors. The District has no committed fund balance.
Assigned – The portion of fund balance set aside for planned or intended purposes. The intended use may
be expressed by the Board of Directors or other individuals authorized to assign funds to be used for a
specific purpose. This classification is necessary to indicate that those funds are, at a minimum, intended
to be used for the purpose of that particular fund. The fund balance in the District’s gondola reserve fund
is assigned for future gondola repairs.
Unassigned – The residual portion of fund balance that does not meet any of the criteria described above.
The District will only report a positive unassigned fund balance in the General Fund.
NOTE C – STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Budgetary information
In accordance with State Budget Law, the District’s Board of Directors holds public hearings in the fall
each year to approve the budget and appropriate the funds for the ensuing year. The appropriation is at the
total fund expenditures level and lapses at year-end. The District’s Board of Directors can modify the
budget by line item within the total appropriation without notification. The appropriation can only be
modified upon completion of notification and publication requirements.
The budget includes each fund on its basis of accounting unless otherwise indicated.

Budgetary information (continued)
Encumbrance accounting (open purchase orders, contracts in process and other commitments for the

NOTE D – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash and investments
As of December 31, 2020, cash and investments are classified in the accompanying financial statements
as follows:
Statement of net position:
Deposits $ 4,147
Colotrust 1,210,074
Cash and investments $ 1,214,221
Custodial and concentration of credit risk
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, the
government would not be able to recover deposits or collateral securities that are in the possession of an
outside party. Deposits are exposed to custodial credit risk if they are not covered by depository insurance
and collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution, or collateralized by certain
types of collateral pools including a single financial institution collateral pool where the fair value of the
pool is equal to or exceeds all uninsured public deposits held by the financial institution (e.g. deposits
insured by The Public Deposit Protection Act (PDPA). Accordingly, none of the District’s deposits at
December 31, 2020, are deemed to be exposed to custodial credit risk.
The Colorado Public Deposit Protection Act (PDPA) requires that all units of local government deposit
cash in eligible public depositories. Eligibility is determined by state regulators. Amounts on deposit in
excess of federal insurance levels must be collateralized. The eligible collateral is specified by PDPA.
PDPA allows the institution to create a single collateral pool for all public funds held. The pool is to be
maintained by another institution or held in trust for all the uninsured public deposits as a group. The
market value of the collateral must be at least equal to 102% of the uninsured deposits.
At December 31, 2020, the District’s cash deposits had a carrying value of $4,147 and a corresponding
bank balance of $21,390, all of which was FDIC insured.

NOTE D – CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED
Pooled cash
The District follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds to maximize net investment
income. Except when required by trust or other agreements, all cash is deposited to and disbursed from a
single bank account. Cash in excess of immediate operating requirements is pooled for deposit and
investment flexibility. Net investment income is allocated periodically to the participating funds based
upon each fund’s average equity balance in the total cash.
Investments
Colorado Statutes specify investment instruments meeting defined rating and risk criteria in which local
governments may invest which include:
Obligations of the United States and certain United States government agency securities
General obligations and revenue bonds of United States local government entities
Bankers’ acceptances of certain banks
Commercial paper
Written repurchase agreements collateralized by certain authorized securities
Certain money market funds
Local government investment pools
Local Government Investment Pools – At December 31, 2020, the District had $1,210,074 invested in
Colorado Local Government Liquid Asset Trust (COLOTRUST), an investment vehicle established for
government entities in Colorado to pool surplus funds. As an investment pool, COLOTRUST operates
under the Colorado Revised Statutes (24-75-701) and is overseen by the Colorado Securities
Commissioner. The Trust invests in securities that are specified by the Colorado Revised Statutes (24-75-
601). These assets are valued at net asset value per share as determined by the pool.
Authorized securities include US Treasuries, US Agencies, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and
bank deposits (collateralized through PDPA). The Trust operates similar to a 2a7-like money market fund
with a share value equal to $1.00 and a maximum weighted average maturity of 60 days. COLOTRUST
is rated AAA by the Standard & Poor’s Corporation. Designated custodial banks provide safekeeping and
depository services to the Trusts in connection with the direct investment and withdrawal functions of the
Trusts. Substantially all securities owned by the Trusts are held by the Federal Reserve Bank in the account
maintained for the custodial bank.

NOTE F – LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS - CONTINUED
A description of the long-term obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2020, is as follows:
Developer Advances
On August 22, 2006, the District entered into a Funding and Reimbursement Agreement with East West
Resort Development XIV L.L.P. The Developer agreed to advance funds to the District, up to a maximum
of $25,000,000 to enable the District to improve property and to acquire those public facilities and
improvements that were paid for by the Developer within the District boundaries. Any amounts advanced
to the District under this original agreement bear an annual interest rate of 12 percent, and the agreement
automatically renewed each year unless terminated by the Developer.
On December 18, 2007 the District entered into the First Amendment to the Funding and Reimbursement
Agreement. The Amendment acknowledged the repayment of principal amounts owed to the Developer
for advances made to the District excluding unpaid interest of $1,062,963 which remains due and owing
to the Developer. In addition the Developer agreed to continue to advance funds to the District up to a
maximum of $1,000,000 through January 31, 2009 to enable the District to provide operations and
continue to improve property and to acquire those public facilities and improvements that have been paid
for by the Developer within the District boundaries. Any amounts advanced to the District under this
amended agreement also bear an annual interest rate of 12 percent, and the agreement automatically
renews each year unless terminated by the Developer.
On August 26, 2008, the District entered into the Second Amendment to the Funding and Reimbursement
Agreement. The amendment modified the interest rate to the prime rate specified in the Wall Street Journal
on January 1, plus 2%. All other terms of the Agreement remain the same.
On January 31, 2009, the District entered into a third amendment to the Funding and Reimbursement
Agreement whereby the Developer agreed to continue to advance funds up to a maximum of $1,400,000
through December 31, 2011. All other terms of the Agreement remained the same.
On November 29, 2011, the District entered into a fourth amendment to the Funding and Reimbursement
Agreement whereby the Developer shall have no further obligation to advance funds to the District after
December 31, 2011. All other terms of the Agreement remained the same.
Repayment of amounts due to the Developer is subordinated to debt service requirements of the District’s
Tax Supported Revenue Bonds. At December 31, 2020, in addition to outstanding developer advances of
$991,101, unpaid interest due to the developer totaled $636,731.

The net bond proceeds funded a debt service reserve funds with the remaining net proceeds being used
for construction of the improvements within the District and for repayment of developer advances. As of
December 31, 2020, the debt service reserve fund balance is $775. During 2020, property taxes were not
sufficient to cover the bond’s interest and principal payments and $56,625 was transferred from the reserve
fund to help cover those payments.
The District has entered into a capital pledge agreement with Avon Station Metropolitan District and the
Trustee whereby ASMD pledged certain revenues to assist in the repayment of District bonds to the extent
of the pledged revenues.
Future maturities of the District’s bonds are as follows:

Under the agreement, the Financing District has assigned all revenue raised from mill levies assessed by
ASMD to the District in order to offset the expenses of the construction of the public improvements and
the District’s costs of operation and maintenance of such public improvements. The Agreement remains
in force until all terms and conditions have been performed in their entirety. The Financing District’s
primary revenue source is property taxes collectible annually based on a set mill levy applied to the
assessed valuation of the Financing District’s property.
During 2020, the District received $1,063,054 from the Financing District in accordance with this
agreement. As of December 31, 2020, the District had incurred $28,537,582 in unreimbursed
expenditures, which the Financing District will be obligated to pay pursuant to this agreement to the extent
of legally available revenues. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established to offset the full
amount of the obligation due from ASMD as it is anticipated that there may be insufficient tax revenues
collected in accordance with the Capital Pledge Agreement to pay down this obligation and future costs
incurred, such as interest expense on the bonds. As a result the long-term receivable will be shown as
follows:

Under the agreement, Mountain Vista is to certify a mill levy up to 25 mills (subject to certain adjustments)
but not in excess of the debt service mill levy imposed by ASMD for financing the construction, operation,
and maintenance of public improvements that benefit both Districts. Of the 25 mills, 5 mills relate to
operations and maintenance and will be imposed indefinitely unless the improvements are dedicated to
the Town. The remaining 20 mills (subject to certain adjustments) related to CMD debt is subject to
Mountain Vista’s electoral debt authorization which expired on February 23, 2020.
The District will manage the construction and operation of the public improvements, and own, operate,

Plaza located at the upper gondola terminal. Under this agreement, Vail Corporation will provide
operations and maintenance for the upper plaza and gondola. The Agreement will automatically renew
each year for an initial period of 15 years absent written notice by either party of early termination. The
Amendment states that, after the initial 15 year period, the District has the option to renew the Agreement
for six (6) additional fifteen (15) year periods and the District must inform Vail in writing if it chooses to
exercise that option. During 2020, the District incurred costs of $265,122 under this agreement.

NOTE I – RISK MANAGEMENT – CONTINUED
The District pays annual premiums to the Pool for liability, property, and public officials’ coverage. In
the event aggregated losses incurred by the Pool exceed amounts recoverable from reinsurance contracts
and funds accumulated by the Pool, the Pool may require additional contributions from the Pool members.
Any excess funds which the Pool determines are not needed for purposes of the Pool may be returned to
the members pursuant to a distribution formula.
NOTE J – TAX, SPENDING AND DEBT LIMITATIONS
Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution, commonly known as the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights
(TABOR), contains tax, spending, revenue and debt limitations which apply to the State of Colorado and
all local governments.
Spending and revenue limits are determined based on the prior year’s Fiscal Year Spending adjusted for
allowable increases based upon inflation and local growth. Fiscal Year Spending is generally defined as
expenditures plus reserve increases with certain exceptions. Revenue in excess of the Fiscal Year spending
limit must be refunded unless the voters approve retention of such revenue.
TABOR requires local governments to establish emergency reserves. These reserves must be at least 3%
of Fiscal Year Spending, excluding bonded debt service. Local governments are not allowed to use the
emergency reserves to compensate for economic conditions, revenue shortfalls, or salary or benefit
increases.
On November 3, 1998, a majority of the District’s electors authorized the District (1) to increase taxes
annually unlimited as to rate or amount by the imposition of an ad valorem property tax levy to be in effect
for the life of the debt, which is limited to 20 years, and (2) to collect, keep, and expend all District
revenues during 1999, and continuing thereafter without regard to limitations under TABOR.
On May 2, 2006, the majority of the District’s electors authorized the removal of the 20-year term
restriction of the tax levy.
Also, on November 3, 1998, the voters of the District authorized the issuance of $46,800,000 in debt and
approved an increase in property tax revenue to pay such debt. On May 2, 2006, voters of the District
increased this amount by $47,300,000 to a total authorized debt amount of $94,100,000.
On November 3, 2020, a majority of the District’s electors authorized the District to increase debt by
$47,800,000 and to increase taxes annually to pay such debt, and to collect, keep and expend all District
revenues during 2020 and continuing thereafter without regard to limitations under TABOR.
The District’s management believes it is in compliance with the provisions of TABOR. However, TABOR
is complex and subject to interpretation. Many of the provisions, including the interpretation of how to
calculate Fiscal Year Spending limits will require judicial interpretation.

RSI NOTE A – BUDGETARY INFORMATION
Budgets for major governmental funds are adopted on the modified accrual basis where capital
outlays are treated as expenditures and depreciation is not budgeted. The operating budget
includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. The Board of Directors must
approve transfers between funds or increases to a fund’s budget.
RSI NOTE B – EXPENDITURES/EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF APPROPRIATION
State Statute requires that expenditures and transfers for a fund cannot exceed the appropriations
for that fund. Appropriations for a fund may be increased provided unanticipated resources offset
them.
The budget is controlled at the departmental line level within each fund. However, the legal level
of appropriation is within the fund. In 2020, the District did not have any budget violations.
