VAIL SQUARE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT No. 1
2021 BUDGET MESSAGE
Vail Square 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 services of roads, drainage facilities, streetscape, water and
sewer utilities mains.
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.
2021 BUDGET STRATEGY
Vail Square Metropolitan District No.1 was formed in late 2005. The District has joined with
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2 and Vail Square Metropolitan District No.3 in adopting
a consolidated service plan. Under this consolidated service plan, Vail Square Metro District
No.1 is the “service district” and Vail Square Metro District Nos. 2 and 3 are the “financing
districts.” As such, Vail Square Metro District No. 1 will be responsible for managing the
construction, maintenance and operation of facilities and improvements needed for the Vail
Square Metro District Nos. 2 and 3 areas.
In 2008 the District issued a $16 Million Tax Supported Loan Facility. The District used the net
proceeds from the loan facility to finance the cost of the infrastructure improvements. As stated
under the Joint Funding Agreement and the District Facilities Joint Financing, Construction and
Service Agreement between the District and Vail Square Metro District Nos. 2 and 3, Districts
Nos. 2 and 3 will be responsible for providing the funding and tax bases needed to support the
financing plan for capital improvements. Vail Square Metropolitan District Nos. 2 and 3
anticipate utilizing the property taxes they collect to pay for a portion of their obligations to the
District.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
May 25, 2021
The Board of Directors
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1 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 an opinion 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 of 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 District’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 District’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
opinion.
Opinion
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 Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1,
as of December 31, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position thereof and the respective budgetary
comparison for the General Fund 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 on pages 3 through 5 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.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1’s basic financial statements. The Debt Service Fund
budgetary schedule is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements.
The Debt Service Fund budgetary schedule 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 Debt Service Fund budgetary schedule is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
December 31, 2020
As management of Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1 (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 are composed of three components: 1) government-
wide financial statements; 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report
also contains additional supplementary information 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 the construction, operation, and maintenance
of the basic public infrastructure within the 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. A reconciliation of the
4
fund balance as reported in the governmental funds to the net position reported in the government-wide
financial statements and a reconciliation of the net change in fund balance to the change in net position has
been provided to facilitate the comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The fund financial statements are contained on pages 8 and 9 of the 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 on pages 11 through 26 of this report.

Activities

The District is the operating district in a triple district structure whereby the District is coordinating the
financing and constructing public infrastructure for Vail Square Metropolitan District Nos. 2 and 3. Such
functions are furnished through a District Facilities Joint Financing Construction and Service Agreement
among the District and Vail Square Metropolitan District Nos. 2 and 3. Vail Square Metropolitan District
Nos. 2 & 3 are the “financing districts” and as such, have and will continue to pay “capital and service
obligations” to the District for construction and operation of the infrastructure in the Districts. The District’s
revenues consisted primarily of funds received from the financing Districts and the Vail Reinvestment
Authority, as defined in agreements between the District and those entities.
Government-wide Financial Analysis. The District’s primary activity has been the construction and
acquisition of infrastructure. The infrastructure has been funded through proceeds received from the issuance
of the 2008 Tax Exempt Loan Facilities in the amount of $16,000,000. The District received
intergovernmental receipts from Vail Square Metropolitan District Nos. 2 & 3 and the Vail Reinvestment
Authority. The Vail Reinvestment Authority has agreed to transfer to the District the Districts Tax
Increment Revenues, to which the Authority would otherwise be entitled under the Urban Renewal Plan.
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 $2,902,221, an increase of $605,556 in comparison with the prior year. These funds are held by
the District for spending in future years.
The District adopts budgets for each fund on an annual basis. Budgetary comparisons have been provided on
page 10 for the General Fund, page 27 for the Debt Service Fund.
Capital assets. The District’s capital assets consist primarily of infrastructure in the Districts. During 2020
the District recognized depreciation expense of $66,079. Details can be seen in Note C on page 17 of this
report.
Long-term debts. The District issued $16,000,000 of tax-exempt loans during 2008. Loan 2008A consists
of $2,000,000 in a variable rate loan facility. Loan 2008B consists of $14,000,000 in a variable rate loan
facility which is subject to an interest rate swap to effectively convert the 2008B loan from a variable-rate
loan to a hedged loan with a synthetic fixed interest rate of 4.61 percent. Additional information can be
found in the Notes to the Financial Statement in Notes D and E on pages 18 to 21 of this report.
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 continues
to be unknown at this time.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Organization
The Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1 (the District) was established December 5, 2005, as a
quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado. The District was
established as part of a triple district structure with Vail Square Metropolitan District Nos. 2 and 3.
The District is considered the Operating District, and was formed to coordinate the financing and
construction of all public improvements which will be constructed for the use and benefit of all
anticipated inhabitants and taxpayers of Vail Square Metropolitan District Nos. 1-3. Vail Square
Metropolitan District Nos. 2 and 3 are the Financing Districts and as such have paid and will continue
to pay capital and service obligations to the District for the infrastructure in the Districts.
The financial statements of the District have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the District’s accounting policies
are described below.
2. Reporting Entity
The reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government; i.e., the District, and (b) organizations for
which the District is financially accountable. The District is considered financially accountable for
legally separate organizations if it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential
for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on,
the District. Consideration is also given to other organizations which are fiscally dependent; i.e., unable
to adopt a budget, levy taxes, or issue debt without approval by the District. Organizations for which
the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that exclusion would cause
the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete are also included in the
reporting entity.
Based on the criteria above, the District is not financially accountable for any other entity, nor is the
District a component unit of any other government.
3. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The District’s basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting the District as a
whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the District’s major funds). Both the government-wide
and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either governmental or business type.
Currently, the District has only governmental activities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Government-wide Financial Statements
In the government-wide Statement of Net Position, the governmental activities columns are reported on
a full accrual, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets, receivables and deferred
outflows of resources as well as long-term debt, obligations and deferred inflows of resources. The
District’s net position is reported in three parts: net investment in capital assets, net position restricted
for emergencies and unrestricted.
The government-wide focus is on the sustainability of the District as an entity and the change in the
District’s net position resulting from the current year’s activities.
Fund Financial Statements
The financial transactions of the District are reported in individual funds in the fund financial
statements. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that
comprises its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures.
The fund focus is on current available resources and budget compliance.
4. Fund Accounting
The District uses funds to maintain its financial records during the year. A fund is defined as a fiscal
and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. At this time the District only uses
governmental funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions typically are financed.
Governmental funds reporting focuses on the sources, uses and balances of current financial resources.
Expendable assets are assigned to the various governmental funds according to the purpose for which
they may or must be used. Current liabilities are assigned to the fund from which they will be paid. The
difference between governmental fund assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred
inflows of resources is reported as fund balance.
The District reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the District except
those required to be accounted for in another fund. The general fund balance is available to the District
for any purpose provided it is expended or transferred according to the general laws of Colorado.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 13 -
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Debt Service Fund – The Debt Service Fund accounts for the servicing of long-term debt including
bonds, loans, developer notes, and long-term contractual obligations approved by the District’s
electorate and revenues generated by property taxes that are required to be used in payment of long-
term debt and contractual obligations.
5. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus refers to whether financial statements measure changes in current resources only
(current financial focus) or changes in both current and long-term resources (long-term economic
focus). Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues, expenditures, or expenses are
recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements.
Long-Term Economic Focus and Accrual Basis
Governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements use the long-term economic focus
and are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and
expenses are recognized when incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows.
Current Financial Focus and Modified Accrual Basis
The governmental fund financial statements use the current financial focus and are presented on the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recorded when susceptible to accrual; i.e., both measurable and available. “Available” means
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current
period. Expenditures are generally recognized when the related liability is incurred. The exception to
this general rule is that principal and interest on general long-term debt, if any, is recognized when due.
When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources (net
position), the District's policy is to first apply the expense toward restricted resources and then toward
unrestricted resources. In governmental funds, the District's policy is to first apply the expenditure
toward restricted fund balance and then to other, less-restrictive classifications—committed and then
assigned fund balances before using unassigned fund balances.
6. Intergovernmental Revenues
For governmental funds, intergovernmental revenues, such as contributions awarded on a non-
reimbursement basis, are recorded as receivables and revenues when measurable and available.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 14 -
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
7. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
deferred outflows, liabilities, and deferred inflows, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenditures/expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
8. Interfund Transactions
Quasi-external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses. Transactions that
constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly
applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as
reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed. All other interfund transactions,
except quasi-external transactions and reimbursements, are reported as transfers.
9. Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
In the fall of each year, the District’s Board of Directors formally adopts a budget with appropriations
by fund for the ensuing year pursuant to the Colorado Local Budget Law. The budgets for the
governmental funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”).
As required by Colorado statutes, the District followed the following timetable in approving and
enacting a budget for the ensuing year:
(1) For the 2020 budget year, prior to August 25, 2019, the County Assessor sent the District the
assessed valuation of all taxable property within the District’s boundaries.
(2) On or before October 15, 2019, the District’s accountant submitted to the District’s Board of
Directors a recommended budget which detailed the necessary property taxes needed along
with other available revenues to meet the District’s operating requirements.
(3) For the 2020 budget, prior to December 15, 2019, the District computed and certified to the
County Commissioners a rate of levy that derived the necessary property taxes as computed in
the proposed budget.
(4) For the 2020 budget, the final budget and appropriating resolution was adopted prior to
December 31, 2019.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 15 -
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
(5) After adoption of the budget resolution, the District may make the following changes: a) it
may transfer appropriated monies between funds or between spending agencies within a fund,
as determined by the original appropriation level; b) supplemental appropriations to the extent
of revenues in excess of those estimated in the budget; c) emergency appropriations; and d)
reduction of appropriations for which originally estimated revenues are insufficient.
The level of control in the budget at which expenditures exceed appropriations is at the fund level. All
appropriations lapse at year-end.
10. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include construction in progress, are reported in the applicable governmental
activities columns in the Government-wide Financial Statements. The District defines capital assets as
assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or
estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated
fair market value at the date of donation. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to
the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital
assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are completed.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, as follows:
Estimated Lives
Buildings and improvements 20 to 40 years
Infrastructure 30 to 40 years
Equipment and machinery 5 to 15 years
11. Fund Balances
GASB Statement No. 54, "Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions"
provides more clearly defined fund balance categories to make the nature and extent of the constraints
placed on a government's fund balances more transparent. 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 inventory) or 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.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 16 -
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Committed fund balance - The portion of fund balance constrained for specific purposes according to
limitations imposed by the District’s highest level of decision making authority, the Board, prior to
the end of the current fiscal year. The constraint may be removed or changed only through formal
action of the Board.
Assigned fund balance - The portion of fund balance set aside for planned or intended purposes. The
intended use may be expressed by the Board or other individuals authorized to assign funds to be
used for a specific purpose. Assigned fund balances in special revenue funds will also include any
remaining fund balance that is not restricted or committed. This classification is necessary to indicate
that those funds are, at a minimum intended to be used for the purpose of that particular fund.
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.
NOTE B – EQUITY IN POOLED CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The District maintains a cash pool that is available for use by all funds. Each fund type's portion of this
pool is displayed on the statement of net assets as "Equity in pooled cash and investments."
Cash Deposits
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 determined by the
PDPA. PDPA allows the institution to create a single collateral pool for all public funds. The pool for all
the uninsured public deposits as a group is to be maintained by another institution or held in trust. The
market value of the collateral must be at least equal to 102 percent of the aggregate uninsured deposits. As
of December 31, 2020, the District had cash deposits of $1,786,710 all of which is collateralized as
explained above.
Investments
Colorado state statutes authorize the District to invest in U.S. Treasury bills, obligations of any other U.S.
agencies, obligations of the World Bank, general obligation bonds of any state or any of their
subdivisions, revenue bonds of any state or any of their subdivisions, bankers acceptance notes,
commercial paper, repurchase agreements, money market funds and guaranteed investment contracts. All
investments must be held by the District, in its name, or in custody of a third party on behalf of the local
government.
As of December 31, 2020, the District had $1,110,080 invested in the Colorado Surplus Asset Fund
(CSafe), an investment vehicle established for local government entities in Colorado to pool surplus
funds. CSafe operates similarly to a money market fund and each share is equal in value to $1.00.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020

NOTE B – EQUITY IN POOLED CASH AND INVESTMENTS – CONTINUED
A designated custodial bank provides safekeeping and depository services to CSafe in connection with the
direct investment and withdrawal functions of CSafe. Substantially all securities owned by CSafe are held
by the Federal Reserve Bank in the account maintained for the custodial bank. The custodian’s internal
records identify the investments owned by CSafe. CSafe funds carry a Standard & Poor’s AAAm rating.
There is no custodial, interest rate or foreign currency risk exposure. CSafe operates like a 2a7-like
external investment pool in the fair value hierarchy established by GASB 72. The underlying investments
held by CSafe, and the District’s investment in CSafe, are valued at amortized cost which approximates
fair value. There are no limitations on withdrawals.
A reconciliation of the carrying value of deposits and investments reported above to the Statement of Net
Position is as follows:
Deposits $ 1,786,710
CSafe 1,110,080
Equity in pooled cash and investments $ 2,896,790

NOTE D – LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
2008A Tax-Exempt Loan
The District obtained a $2,000,000 tax-exempt loan on July 23, 2008. Interest is payable semiannually on
June 1 and December 1, commencing December 1, 2008. The loan is due and payable June 1, 2023 and
bears interest equal to 65% of the 1-month LIBOR rate plus 125 basis points with a minimum rate of
2.85%. The loan is a general obligation of the District and is supported by a Joint Funding Agreement
between the District and Vail Square Metropolitan District Nos. 2 and 3 (the Financing Districts). The
Joint Funding Agreement generally provides that the Financing Districts will assess mill levies to collect
property taxes which will be paid to the District to be used to pay the principal and interest payments
required by the loans and interest rate swaps. See Note E for more information.
The loan was obtained to finance the design, acquisition, construction, relocation, installation, completion
and provision of public improvements and facilities. The District also used loan proceeds to repay a portion
of the long-term obligation to the Developer.
The 2008A loan may be prepaid, in whole or in part, on any date upon payment of the principal amount of
the Loan so prepaid plus accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment, without penalty.
Debt service requirements are as follows: (the interest payments presented below assume that the interest
rate will remain at the minimum rate noted above; the rate is subject to monthly adjustment)

2023 and bears interest equal to 65% of the 1-month LIBOR rate plus 125 basis points. The loan is a
general obligation of the District and supported by a Joint Funding Agreement between the District and the
Financing Districts. The Joint Funding Agreement generally provides that the Financing Districts will
assess mill levies to collect property taxes which will be paid to the District to be used to pay the principal
and interest payments required by the loans and interest rate swaps. See Note F for more information.

NOTE D – LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS – CONTINUED
The loan was obtained to finance the design, acquisition, construction, relocation, installation, completion
and provision of public improvements and facilities. The District also used loan proceeds to repay a portion
of the long-term obligation to the Developer.
The 2008B loan may be prepaid, in whole or in part, on any date prior to July 23, 2013 upon payment of
the principal amount so prepaid plus accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment, together with a
prepayment penalty in an amount equal to three percent of the principal amount prepaid.
The District entered into a $14,000,000 interest rate swap to effectively convert the 2008B loan from a
variable-rate loan to a hedged loan with a synthetic fixed interest rate of 4.61%. See Note E for more
information on the District’s interest rate swap.
Debt service requirements are as follows: (the interest payments presented below assume that the interest
rate will remain at the 4.61% per the swap documents; the rate is subject to monthly adjustment)

month LIBOR
+ 125 bp
($821,253)
Derivative instrument A (the interest rate swap) hedges changes in cash flows due to changes in LIBOR
interest rates associated with the District’s $14,000,000 2008B hedged tax-exempt loan.
The fair value of the interest rate swap was estimated by the counterparty based on a LIBOR yield curve
constructed using cash LIBOR rates, Eurodollar futures, and term swap rates from brokers. The yield
curve is then used to estimate the future net settlement payments required by the swap, assuming that the
current forward rates implied by the yield curve correctly anticipate future spot interest rates.
Risks
Credit risk. As of December 31, 2020, the District was not exposed to credit risk because the swap had a
negative fair value. However, should interest rates change and the fair value of the swap become positive,
the District would be exposed to credit risk in the amount of the derivative's fair value. The swap
counterparty was rated BBB+ by Standard & Poor's and Baa2 by Moody's Investors Service as of
December 31, 2020. To mitigate the potential for credit risk, if the counterparty's credit quality falls below
Baa2 as determined by Moody’s Investors Service or BBB as determined by Standard & Poor’s Ratings
Service, the counterparty agrees to cooperate with the District in having the swap assigned to a new swap
provider acceptable to the District and the counterparty.
Interest rate risk. The District is exposed to interest rate risk on its pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate
swap. As the LIBOR rate decreases, the District’s net payment on the swap increases.
Basis risk. The District is not exposed to basis risk, as the counterparty pays the District 65% of LIBOR
plus 125 basis points per the swap agreement, which is equal to the tax-exempt loan payment made by the
District.

NOTE E – HEDGING ACTIVITIES – CONTINUED
Termination risk. The derivative contract uses the International Swap Dealers Association Master
Agreement, which includes standard termination events, such as failure to pay and bankruptcy. The
Schedule to the Master Agreement includes an "additional termination event." That is, the swap may be
terminated by the District if the counterparty's credit quality rating falls below "BBB" as issued by
Standard & Poor's or "Baa2" as issued by Moody's Investors Service. The District agrees not to terminate
the swap unless it shall have sufficient funds to pay any Settlement Amount to the counterparty. If the
counterparty’s credit quality falls below these levels, the swap may be assigned to a new swap provider
acceptable to the District and the counterparty. No termination events have occurred as of December 31,
2020.
The District or the counterparty may terminate the swap if the other party fails to perform under the terms
of the contract. If the swap is terminated, the variable-rate tax-exempt loan would no longer carry a
synthetic interest rate. Also, at the time of termination, a Settlement Amount will be calculated according
to section 6(e)(i) of the Swap Master Agreement entered into by Compass Bank and the District on July 23,
2008.
Rollover risk. The District is not exposed to rollover risk, as the effective and termination dates are the
same for the tax-exempt loan and the interest rate swap.
Foreign currency risk. The District is not exposed to foreign currency risk, as the interest rate swap
payments and receipts will be settled in US dollars.
Contingent features. There are no contingent features to the District’s interest rate swap.
Swap payments and associated debt. As of December 31, 2020, debt service requirements of the variable-
rate debt and net swap/loan interest payments are as shown in Note D.
Method of evaluating effectiveness of interest rate swap. The District utilized the Synthetic Instrument
Method to evaluate the effectiveness of the interest rate swap. This method calculated the synthetic rate
equal to 100% of the swap fixed rate.

NOTE F – INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS
The District has entered into the following intergovernmental agreements:
Joint Funding Agreement
The Operating District obtained two loans in the aggregate principal amount of $16,000,000 on July 23,
2008 for the purpose of constructing certain public infrastructure (the Facilities) for the benefit of the
Districts. Concurrent with obtaining the loans the Operating District entered into a Joint Funding
Agreement with the Financing Districts to provide funding to the Operating District for the repayment of
the loans. The Joint Funding Agreement generally provides that the Financing Districts will assess mill
levies to collect property tax revenues which will be paid to and used by the Operating District to pay
Financing Costs related to the loans. Financing Costs are defined as the principal and interest payments
required by debt and interest rate swaps obtained or entered into by the Districts, including replenishment
of debt reserve funds.
In 2020, the mill levy assessed for collection in 2021 was 35 mills in Vail Square Metropolitan District
No. 2, with 32 mills allocated for the Joint Funding Agreement and 3 mills for the District Facilities Joint
Financing, Construction and Service Agreement; and, 21.875 mills in Vail Square Metropolitan District
No. 3, with 18.875 mills allocated for the Joint Funding Agreement and 3 mills for the District Facilities
Joint Financing, Construction and Service Agreement. The portion of the annual bond costs to be paid by
each Financing District will remain in the same proportion in future years.
District Facilities Joint Financing, Construction and Service Agreement
The Agreement generally provides an obligation for the Financing Districts to pay for the acquisition and
construction of the Facilities (defined above), to the extent not funded by the Joint Funding Agreement
(the Capital Obligation), and operation and maintenance of the Facilities and administrative expenses
incurred by the Operating District (the Service Obligation). The Financing Districts are obligated to
generate and pay to the Operating District certain tax and other revenues to fund the Capital Obligation
and the Service Obligation.
The Operating District has recorded a capital and service obligation receivable from the Financing
Districts as of December 31, 2020 in the amount of $9,471,796 which represents unreimbursed costs
incurred through that date for infrastructure construction and costs related to issuance of and debt service
on the loans. This receivable has been allocated between the Financing Districts based on the District’s
forecast of the future annual bond costs to be paid by each Financing District. However, each Financing
District is responsible to pay Financing Costs until the District’s loans have been fully repaid and the
ultimate allocation of the Financing Costs between the Financing Districts will be dependent on the
assessed value and mill levy of each Financing District over the life of the District’s loans.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020

NOTE F – INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS – CONTINUED
In any given year the Financing Districts are obligated to fund such portion of the Capital and Service
Obligations as may be funded with the District taxes available from imposition of a subordinate mill
levy, together with other charges imposed by the Financing Districts.
The Agreement specifies certain termination rights on the part of the Districts. Various limitations and
conditions to such termination rights exist and reference to the text of the Agreement should be made for
specific terms.
Pledge Agreement
The Districts entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Vail Reinvestment Authority.
Under this agreement and in consideration for the Districts’ commitment to undertake construction of
certain public improvements, the Vail Reinvestment Authority agrees to transfer to the Districts the
District Tax Increment Revenues, to which the Authority would otherwise be entitled under an Urban
Renewal Plan relating to the project.
NOTE G – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
During the normal course of business, the District may incur claims and other assertions against it from
various agencies and individuals. Management of the District and its legal representatives have disclosed
that they are not aware of any material outstanding claims against the District at December 31, 2020.
NOTE H – RISK MANAGEMENT
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of
assets; injuries to employees, or acts of God. The District has elected to participate in the Colorado Special
District Property and Liability Pool (the Pool) which is sponsored by the Special District Association of
Colorado. The Pool provides property and general liability, automobile physical damage and liability,
public official’s liability and machinery coverage to its members. Members of the Pool are required to
make additional surplus contributions. 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. During the year
ended December 31, 2020 the Pool made no distributions to the District.

December 31, 2019 (latest information available) is as follows:

NOTE I – TABOR AMENDMENT
In November 1992, Colorado voters amended Article X of the Colorado Constitution by adding Section 20,
commonly known as the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (“TABOR”). TABOR contains revenue, spending, tax
and debt limitations which apply to the State of Colorado and local governments. TABOR requires, with
certain exceptions, advance voter approval for any new tax, tax rate increase, mill levy above that of the
prior year, extension of any expiring tax, or tax policy change directly causing a new tax revenue gain to
any local government. Except for refinancing bonded debt at a lower interest rate or adding new employees
to existing pension plans, TABOR requires advance voter approval for the creation of any multiple fiscal
year or other financial obligation unless adequate present cash reserves are pledged irrevocable and held
for payments in future years.
TABOR also requires local governments to establish emergency reserves to be used for declared
emergencies only. Emergencies, as defined by TABOR, exclude economic conditions, revenue shortfalls,
or salary or fringe benefit increases. These reserves are required to be 3% or more of the fiscal year
spending (excluding bonded debt service) for fiscal years ended after December 31, 1994. At December
31, 2020, the District’s emergency reserve was $5,204.
Under TABOR, the initial base for local government spending and revenue limits is December 31, 1992
fiscal year spending. The District’s first year of operations ended December 31, 2006. Future spending and
revenue limits are determined based on the prior year’s fiscal year spending adjusted for inflation in the
prior calendar year plus annual local growth. Fiscal year spending is generally defined as expenditures and
reserve increases with certain exceptions. Revenue, if any, in excess of the fiscal year spending limit must
be refunded in the next fiscal year unless voters approve retention of such revenue.
The electorate of the District authorized property taxes to be increased up to $1,500,000 in 2005, plus up to
an additional $3,000,000 in 2007, and each year thereafter to pay the Districts operations, maintenance,
and other expenses, such amounts to increase annually in an amount not to exceed the applicable
limitations of Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution and Colorado Law.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 25 -
NOTE I – TABOR AMENDMENT – CONTINUED
The District’s electorate further approved that the District’s taxes be increased $120,000,000 annually, or
by such lesser annual amount as may be necessary to pay the District’s general or special obligation bonds,
revenue bonds or other multiple fiscal year financial obligations, including contracts, issued for the
purpose of refunding, paying or defeasing, in whole or in part, bonds, notes or other financial obligations
of the District. Such taxes may consist of an ad valorem property tax mill levy imposed without limitation
of rate and in amounts sufficient to produce the annual increase set forth above or such lesser amount as
may be necessary. The revenue from such taxes and any other monies used to pay such general or special
obligation bonds, revenue bonds or other multiple fiscal year financial obligations costs, and investment
income thereon, may be collected and spent by the District without regard to any expenditure, revenue
raising, or other limitation contained within Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution.
The District’s management believes it is in compliance with the financial provisions of TABOR. However,
TABOR is complex and subject to interpretation. Many of its provisions, including the interpretation of
how to calculate fiscal year spending limits, will require judicial interpretation.
On November 1, 2005 and November 6, 2007 the voters of the District authorized increases in debt as
follows:
Date of Authorization Authorization

11/1/2005 Street Facilities $ 20,000,000 $ 8,785,393 $ 11,214,607

NOTE J – RELATED PARTIES
The developer of the property which constitutes the District is Arrabelle at Vail Square, LLC. The
members of the District’s Board of Directors are officers, employees, or others associated with the
Developer and may have conflicts of interest in dealing with the District.
$38,182 was paid to Arrabelle at Vail Square, LLC for snowmelt and other operations costs during 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, the District owed Arrabelle at Vail Square, LLC $19,102 for these services,
which is included in general fund accounts payable.
NOTE K – SIGNIFICANT TAXPAYER
The hotel complex located within the boundaries of District No. 3 represents substantially all of the
assessed valuation of that District. The County Assessor increased the assessed valuation of the hotel from
$12,706,140 in 2018 to $28,646,250 in 2019 and 2020. The hotel owner has protested the 2019 and 2020
assessed valuation (which are the basis for taxes paid in 2020 and to be paid in 2021). This protest is
currently being litigated in District Court. A portion of the property taxes for the hotel received in 2020
and the property taxes receivable in 2021 are subject to abatement if the District court rules in favor of the
hotel. To the extent that property taxes are abated to the taxpayer, the District will be required to rebate its
share of those abated taxes to District No. 3. The District has budgeted an allowance for this potential
abatement in the District’s 2021 budget but has not deferred recognition of the tax revenue received in
2020.
NOTE L – DESIGNATED FUND BALANCE
During 2018 the board, based on a reserve study, designated $850,000 of fund balance for the purpose of
major capital expenses in 2030. The board intends, as funds are available, to have, by 2030, a reserve of
$1.1 million. The reserve is budgeted to increase by $10,000 each year. At December 31, 2020 designated
fund balance was $870,000.

The Board of Directors
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2 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 an opinion 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 of 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 District’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 District’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
opinion.
Opinion
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 Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2,
as of December 31, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position thereof and the respective budgetary
comparison for the General Fund 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 on pages 3 through 5 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 the Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2’s basic financial statements. The Debt Service Fund
budgetary schedule and property tax statistical schedule are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The Debt Service Fund budgetary schedule 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, such information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The property tax statistical schedule 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.

Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
December 31, 2020
As management of Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2 (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 are composed of three components: 1) government-wide
financial statements; 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also
contains additional other information 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, 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 the Intergovernmental Service Costs and
Capital Costs due to Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1. 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.
- 4 -
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.
A reconciliation of the fund balance as reported in the governmental funds to the net position reported in the
government-wide financial statements and a reconciliation of the net change in fund balance to the change in
net position has been provided to facilitate the comparison between governmental funds and governmental
activities.
The fund financial statements are contained on pages 8 and 9 of the 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 11 of this report.

Governmental
Activities
- 5 -
The District is one of the “financing districts” in a triple district structure whereby the District is supporting
the financing of the construction of public infrastructure being coordinated by Vail Square Metropolitan
District No. 1. The District consists of residential properties. Such functions are furnished through a District
Facilities Joint Financing Construction and Service Agreement among the District and Vail Square
Metropolitan District Nos. 1 and 3. Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1 is the “operating district” and as
such, has and will continue to receive “capital and service obligation payments” from the District and
District No. 3 to fund the financing of construction and operation of infrastructure in the Districts. District
No. 2 funds such costs with property taxes.
Government-wide Financial Analysis. During 2020 the District’s primary activity was to collect property
taxes to pay capital and service obligations to District No. 1 for the infrastructure in the Districts.
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 $45,416 an decrease of ($1,128) in comparison with the prior year.
The District adopts budgets for each fund on an annual basis. A budgetary comparison has been provided on
page 10 for the General Fund and on page 22 for the Debt Service Fund.
Capital assets. All capital assets inside of the District boundaries are constructed and operated by District
No.1. Therefore, no capital assets are reported by the District.
Long-term debts. District No. 2 is an additional obligor for the annual financing costs related to the District
No. 1 2008 Tax Exempt Loan Facility as more fully described in the Joint Funding Agreement between the
Districts. More details and information related to the District’s long-term debts can be found in the Notes to
the Financial Statement in Note C on page 17 of this report.
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 continues
to be unknown at this time.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Organization
The Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2 (the District) was established December 5, 2005, as a
quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado. The District was
established as part of a triple district structure with Vail Square Metropolitan District Nos. 1 and 3.
The District is the Financing District which encompasses residential development and was established
to provide funding and tax base for the capital improvements constructed by VSMD No. 1. Vail Square
Metropolitan District No. 3 is the Financing District which encompasses non-residential development.
Together, the Financing Districts have paid and will continue to pay capital and service obligations to
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1, the Operating District.
The financial statements of the District have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the District’s accounting policies
are described below.
2. Reporting Entity
The reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government; i.e., the District, and (b) organizations for
which the District is financially accountable. The District is considered financially accountable for
legally separate organizations if it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential
for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on,
the District. Consideration is also given to other organizations which are fiscally dependent; i.e., unable
to adopt a budget, levy taxes, or issue debt without approval by the District. Organizations for which
the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that exclusion would cause
the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete are also included in the
reporting entity.
Based on the criteria above, the District is not financially accountable for any other entity, nor is the
District a component unit of any other government.
3. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The District’s basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting the District as a
whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the District’s major funds). Both the government-wide
and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either governmental or business type.
Currently, the District has only governmental activities.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Government-wide Financial Statements
In the government-wide Statement of Net Position, the governmental activities columns are reported on
a full accrual, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets, receivables and deferred
outflows of resources as well as long-term debt, obligations and deferred inflows of resources. The
District’s net position is reported in three parts: net position restricted for emergencies, restricted for
debt service and unrestricted.
The government-wide focus is on the sustainability of the District as an entity and the change in the
District’s net position resulting from the current year’s activities.
Fund Financial Statements
The financial transactions of the District are reported in individual funds in the fund financial
statements. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that
comprises its assets, liabilities, deferred inflows, fund balances, revenues and expenditures.
The fund focus is on current available resources and budget compliance.
4. Fund Accounting
The District uses funds to maintain its financial records during the year. A fund is defined as a fiscal
and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. At this time the District only uses
governmental funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions typically are financed.
Governmental funds reporting focuses on the sources, uses and balances of current financial resources.
Expendable assets are assigned to the various governmental funds according to the purpose for which
they may or must be used. Current liabilities are assigned to the fund from which they will be paid. The
difference among governmental fund assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows is reported as fund
balance.
The District reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the District except
those required to be accounted for in another fund. The general fund balance is available to the District
for any purpose provided it is expended or transferred according to the general laws of Colorado.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 13 -
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Debt Service Fund – The Debt Service Fund accounts for the servicing of long-term debt including
bonds, loans, developer notes, and long-term contractual obligations approved by the District’s
electorate and revenues generated by property taxes that are required to be used in payment of long-
term debt and contractual obligations.
5. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus refers to whether financial statements measure changes in current resources only
(current financial focus) or changes in both current and long-term resources (long-term economic
focus). Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues, expenditures, or expenses are
recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements.
Long-Term Economic Focus and Accrual Basis
Governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements use the long-term economic focus
and are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and
expenses are recognized when incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows.
Current Financial Focus and Modified Accrual Basis
The governmental fund financial statements use the current financial focus and are presented on the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recorded when susceptible to accrual; i.e., both measurable and available. “Available” means
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current
period. Expenditures are generally recognized when the related liability is incurred. The exception to
this general rule is that principal and interest on general long-term debt, if any, is recognized when due.
When an expenditure is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources (net
position), the District's policy is to first apply the expenditure toward restricted resources and then
toward unrestricted resources. In governmental funds, the District's policy is to first apply the
expenditure toward restricted fund balance and then to other, less-restrictive classifications—
committed and then assigned fund balances before using unassigned fund balances.
6. Intergovernmental Revenues
For governmental funds, intergovernmental revenues, such as contributions awarded on a non-
reimbursement basis, are recorded as receivables and revenues when measurable and available.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 14 -
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
7. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, deferred inflows, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
8. Property Taxes
Property taxes are not due and payable until after the assessment year has ended, and are not included
in the budget or Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance of the assessment
year. Property taxes are recorded as deferred inflows in the year they are levied and measurable.
Property tax revenues are recorded as revenue in the year they are available or collected. Property taxes
are levied on or before December 15 of each year and attach as an enforceable lien on the property on
January 1. Taxes are payable in full on April 30 or in two installments on February 28 and June 15.
9. Interfund Transactions
Quasi-external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses. Transactions that
constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly
applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as
reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed. All other interfund transactions,
except quasi-external transactions and reimbursements, are reported as transfers.
10. Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
In the fall of each year, the District’s Board of Directors formally adopts a budget with appropriations
by fund for the ensuing year pursuant to the Colorado Local Budget Law. The budgets for the
governmental funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP).
As required by Colorado statutes, the District followed the following timetable in approving and
enacting a budget for the ensuing year:
(1) For the 2020 budget year, prior to August 25, 2019, the County Assessor sent the District the
assessed valuation of all taxable property within the District’s boundaries.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 15 -
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
(2) On or before October 15, 2019, the District’s accountant submitted to the District’s Board of
Directors a recommended budget which detailed the necessary property taxes needed along
with other available revenues to meet the District’s operating requirements.
(3) For the 2020 budget, prior to December 15, 2019, the District computed and certified to the
County Commissioners a rate of levy that derived the necessary property taxes as computed in
the proposed budget.
(4) For the 2020 budget, the final budget and appropriating resolution was adopted prior to
December 31, 2019.
(5) After adoption of the budget resolution, the District may make the following changes: a) it
may transfer appropriated monies between funds or between spending agencies within a fund,
as determined by the original appropriation level; b) supplemental appropriations to the extent
of revenues in excess of those estimated in the budget; c) emergency appropriations; and d)
reduction of appropriations for which originally estimated revenues are insufficient.
The level of control in the budget at which expenditures exceed appropriations is at the fund level. All
appropriations lapse at year-end.
11. Fund Balances
GASB Statement No. 54, "Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions"
provides more clearly defined fund balance categories to make the nature and extent of the constraints
placed on a government's fund balances more transparent. 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 inventory) or 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.
Committed fund balance - The portion of fund balance constrained for specific purposes according
to limitations imposed by the District’s highest level of decision making authority, the Board, prior to
the end of the current fiscal year. The constraint may be removed or changed only through formal
action of the Board.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 16 -
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – 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 or other individuals authorized to assign funds to be used
for a specific purpose. Assigned fund balances in special revenue funds will also include any remaining
fund balance that is not restricted or committed. This classification is necessary to indicate that those
funds are, at a minimum intended to be used for the purpose of that particular fund.
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.
NOTE B – EQUITY IN POOLED CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The District maintains a cash pool that is available for use by all funds. Each fund type's portion of this
pool is displayed on the statement of net position as "Equity in pooled cash and investments."
Cash Deposits
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 determined by the
PDPA. PDPA allows the institution to create a single collateral pool for all public funds. The pool for all
the uninsured public deposits as a group is to be maintained by another institution or held in trust. The
market value of the collateral must be at least equal to 102 percent of the aggregate uninsured deposits. As
of December 31, 2020, the District had no cash deposits.
Investments
Colorado state statutes authorize the District to invest in U.S. Treasury bills, obligations of any other U.S.
agencies, obligations of the World Bank, general obligation bonds of any state or any of their
subdivisions, revenue bonds of any state or any of their subdivisions, bankers acceptance notes,
commercial paper, repurchase agreements, money market funds and guaranteed investment contracts. All
investments must be held by the District, in its name, or in custody of a third party on behalf of the local
government.
As of December 31, 2020, the District had $48,833 invested in the Colorado Surplus Asset Fund (CSafe),
an investment vehicle established for local government entities in Colorado to pool surplus funds. CSafe
operates similarly to a money market fund and each share is equal in value to $1.00. A designated
custodial bank provides safekeeping and depository services to CSafe in connection with the direct
investment and withdrawal functions of CSafe. Substantially all securities owned by CSafe are held by the
Federal Reserve Bank in the account maintained for the custodial bank. The custodian’s internal records
identify the investments owned by CSafe. CSafe funds carry a Standard & Poor’s AAAm rating. There is
no custodial, interest rate or foreign currency risk exposure.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2

NOTE B – EQUITY IN POOLED CASH AND INVESTMENTS – CONTINUED
CSafe operates like a 2a7-like external investment pool in the fair value hierarchy established by GASB
72. The underlying investments held by CSafe, and the District’s investment in CSafe, are valued at
amortized cost which approximates fair value. There are no limitations on withdrawals.
A reconciliation of the carrying value of deposits and investments reported above to the Statement of Net
Position is as follows:
Deposits $ –
CSafe 48,833
Equity in pooled cash and investments $ 48,833
NOTE C – INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS
The District has entered into the following intergovernmental agreements:
Joint Funding Agreement
The Joint Funding Agreement generally provides that the Financing Districts will assess mill levies to
collect property tax revenues which will be paid to the Operating District. The property tax revenues will
be used by the Operating District to pay Financing Costs, which are defined as the principal and interest
payments required by debt and interest rate swaps obtained or entered into by the Districts, including
replenishment of debt reserve funds.
In 2020, the mill levy assessed for collection in 2021 was 35 mills in Vail Square Metropolitan District
No. 2, with 32 mills allocated for the Joint Funding Agreement and 3 mills for the District Facilities Joint
Financing, Construction and Service Agreement; and, 21.875 mills in Vail Square Metropolitan District
No. 3, with 18.875 mills allocated for the Joint Funding Agreement and 3 mills for the District Facilities
Joint Financing, Construction and Service Agreement. The portion of the annual bond costs to be paid by
each Financing District will remain in the same proportion in future years.
District Facilities Joint Financing, Construction and Service Agreement
The Agreement generally provides an obligation for the Financing Districts to pay for the acquisition and
construction of the Facilities (defined above), to the extent not funded by the Joint Funding Agreement
(the Capital Obligation), and operation and maintenance of the Facilities and administrative expenses
incurred by the Operating District (the Service Obligation). The Financing Districts are obligated to
generate and pay to the Operating District certain tax and other revenues to fund the Capital Obligation
and the Service Obligation.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 18 -
NOTE C – INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS – CONTINUED
The Operating District has recorded a capital and service obligation receivable from the Financing
Districts as of December 31, 2020 in the amount of $9,471,796 which represents unreimbursed costs
incurred through that date for infrastructure construction and costs related to issuance of and debt service
on the loans.
This obligation payable to the Operating District has been allocated between the Financing Districts
based on the Operating District’s forecast of the future annual bond costs to be paid by each financing
District. Based upon this forecast, the amount of $7,861,591 has been allocated to Vail Square
Metropolitan District No. 2.
However, each Financing District is responsible to pay Financing Costs until the Operating District’s
loans have been fully repaid and the ultimate allocation of the Financing Costs between the Financing
Districts will be dependent on the assessed value and mill levy of each Financing District over the life of
the Operating District’s loans.
In any given year the Financing Districts are obligated to fund such portion of the Capital and Service
Obligations as may be funded with the District taxes available from imposition of a subordinate mill
levy, together with other charges imposed by the Financing Districts.
The Agreement specifies certain termination rights on the part of the Districts. Various limitations and
conditions to such termination rights exist and reference to the text of the Agreement should be made for
specific terms.
Pledge Agreement
The Districts entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Vail Reinvestment Authority.
Under this agreement and in consideration for the Districts’ commitment to undertake construction of
certain public improvements, the Vail Reinvestment Authority agrees to transfer to the Districts the
District Tax Increment Revenues, to which the Authority would otherwise be entitled under an Urban
Renewal Plan relating to the project.
NOTE D – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
During the normal course of business, the District may incur claims and other assertions against it from
various agencies and individuals. Management of the District and its legal representatives have disclosed
that they are not aware of any material outstanding claims against the District at December 31, 2020.

NOTE E – RISK MANAGEMENT
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of
assets; injuries to employees, or acts of God. The District has elected to participate in the Colorado Special
District Property and Liability Pool (the Pool) which is sponsored by the Special District Association of
Colorado. The Pool provides property and general liability, automobile physical damage and liability,
public official’s liability and machinery coverage to its members. Members of the Pool are required to
make additional surplus contributions.
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. During the year ended December 31, 2020 the Pool made
no distributions to the District.
Condensed financial statement data for the Colorado Special Districts Property and Liability Pool as of
December 31, 2019 (latest information available) is as follows:

NOTE F – TABOR AMENDMENT
In November 1992, Colorado voters amended Article X of the Colorado Constitution by adding Section 20,
commonly known as the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (“TABOR”). TABOR contains revenue, spending, tax
and debt limitations which apply to the State of Colorado and local governments. TABOR requires, with
certain exceptions, advance voter approval for any new tax, tax rate increase, mill levy above that of the
prior year, extension of any expiring tax, or tax policy change directly causing a new tax revenue gain to
any local government. Except for refinancing bonded debt at a lower interest rate or adding new employees
to existing pension plans, TABOR requires advance voter approval for the creation of any multiple fiscal
year or other financial obligation unless adequate present cash reserves are pledged irrevocable and held
for payments in future years.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 2
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE F – TABOR AMENDMENT – CONTINUED
TABOR also requires local governments to establish emergency reserves to be used for declared
emergencies only. Emergencies, as defined by TABOR, exclude economic conditions, revenue shortfalls,
or salary or fringe benefit increases. These reserves are required to be 3% or more of the fiscal year
spending (excluding bonded debt service) for fiscal years ended after December 31, 1994. At December
31, 2020, the District’s emergency reserve was $271.
Under TABOR, the initial base for local government spending and revenue limits is December 31, 1992
fiscal year spending. The District’s first year of operations ended December 31, 2006. Future spending and
revenue limits are determined based on the prior year’s fiscal year spending adjusted for inflation in the
prior calendar year plus annual local growth.
Fiscal year spending is generally defined as expenditures and reserve increases with certain exceptions.
Revenue, if any, in excess of the fiscal year spending limit must be refunded in the next fiscal year unless
voters approve retention of such revenue.
The electorate of the District authorized property taxes to be increased up to $1,500,000 in 2005, plus up to
$3,000,000 in 2007, and each year thereafter to pay the Districts operations, maintenance, and other
expenses, such amounts to increase annually in an amount not to exceed the applicable limitations of
Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution and Colorado Law. The District’s electorate further
approved that the District’s taxes be increased $120,000,000 annually, or by such lesser annual amount as
may be necessary to pay the District’s general or special obligation bonds, revenue bonds or other multiple
fiscal year financial obligations, including contracts, issued for the purpose of refunding, paying or
defeasing, in whole or in part, bonds, notes or other financial obligations of the District. Such taxes may
consist of an ad valorem property tax mill levy imposed without limitation of rate and in amounts sufficient
to produce the annual increase set forth above or such lesser amount as may be necessary. The revenue
from such taxes and any other monies used to pay such general or special obligation bonds, revenue bonds
or other multiple fiscal year financial obligations costs, and investment income thereon, may be collected
and spent by the District without regard to any expenditure, revenue raising, or other limitation contained
within Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution.
The District’s management believes it is in compliance with the financial provisions of TABOR. However,
TABOR is complex and subject to interpretation. Many of its provisions, including the interpretation of
how to calculate fiscal year spending limits, will require judicial interpretation.

Property taxes collected in any one year include collection of delinquent property taxes assessed in prior
years. Information received from the County Treasurer does not permit identification of specific year of levy.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
May 25, 2021
The Board of Directors
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 3
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 3 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 an opinion 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 of 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 District’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 District’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
opinion.
Opinion
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 Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 3,
as of December 31, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position thereof and the respective budgetary
comparison for the General Fund 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 on pages 3 through 5 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 the Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 3’s basic financial statements. The Debt Service Fund
budgetary schedule and property tax statistical schedule are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The Debt Service Fund budgetary schedule 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 Debt Service Fund budgetary schedule is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The property tax statistical schedule 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.

Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 3
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
December 31, 2020
As management of Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 3 (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 are composed of three components: 1) government-wide
financial statements; 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also
contains additional other information 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 the District’s assets, 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 the Intergovernmental Service Costs and
Capital Costs due to Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1. 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
- 4 -
understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. A reconciliation of the
fund balance as reported in the governmental funds to the net position reported in the government-wide
financial statements and a reconciliation of the net change in fund balance to the change in net position has
been provided to facilitate the comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The fund financial statements are contained on pages 8 and 9 of the 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 11 of this report.

Governmental
Activities
- 5 -
The District is one of the “financing districts” in a triple district structure whereby the District is supporting
the financing of the construction of infrastructure being coordinated by Vail Square Metropolitan District
No. 1. The District consists of commercial properties. Such functions are furnished through a District
Facilities Joint Financing Construction and Service Agreement among the District and Vail Square
Metropolitan District Nos. 1 and 2. Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 1 is the “operating district” and as
such, has and will continue to receive “capital and service obligation payments” from the District and
District No. 2 to fund the financing construction and operation of infrastructure in the Districts. District No.
3 funds such costs with property taxes.
Government-wide Financial Analysis. During 2020 the District’s primary activity was to collect property
taxes to pay capital and service obligations to District No. 1 for the infrastructure in the Districts.
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 $341.
The District adopts budgets for each fund on an annual basis. A budgetary comparison has been provided on
page 10 for the General Fund and on page 22 for the Debt Service Fund.
Capital assets. All capital assets inside of the District boundaries are constructed and operated by District
No.1. Therefore, no capital assets are reported by the District.
Long-term debts. District No. 3 is an additional obligor for the annual financing costs related to the District
No. 1 2008 Tax Exempt Loan Facility as more fully described in the Joint Funding Agreement between the
Districts. More details and information related to the District’s long-term debts can be found in the Notes to
the Financial Statement in Note C on page 17 of this report.
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 continues
to be unknown at this time.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Organization
The Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 3 (the District) was established December 5, 2005, as a
quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado. The District was
established as part of the triple district structure with Vail Square Metropolitan District Nos. 1 and 2.
The District is the Financing District which encompasses non-residential development and was
established to provide funding and tax base for the capital improvements constructed by VSMD No. 1.
VSMD No. 2 is the Financing District which encompasses residential development. Together, the
Financing Districts have paid and will continue to pay capital and service obligations to VSMD No. 1,
the Operating District.
The financial statements of the District have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the District’s accounting policies
are described below.
2. Reporting Entity
The reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government; i.e., the District, and (b) organizations for
which the District is financially accountable. The District is considered financially accountable for
legally separate organizations if it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential
for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on,
the District. Consideration is also given to other organizations which are fiscally dependent; i.e., unable
to adopt a budget, levy taxes, or issue debt without approval by the District. Organizations for which
the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that exclusion would cause
the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete are also included in the
reporting entity.
Based on the criteria above, the District is not financially accountable for any other entity, nor is the
District a component unit of any other government.
3. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The District’s basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting the District as a
whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the District’s major funds). Both the government-wide
and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either governmental or business type.
Currently, the District has only governmental activities.

Government-wide Financial Statements
In the government-wide Statement of Net Position, the governmental activities columns are reported on
a full accrual, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets, receivables and deferred
outflows of resources as well as long-term debt, obligations and deferred inflows of resources. The
District’s net position is reported in three parts: net position restricted for emergencies, restricted for
debt service, and unrestricted. The government-wide focus is on the sustainability of the District as an
entity and the change in the District’s net position resulting from the current year’s activities.
Fund Financial Statements
The financial transactions of the District are reported in individual funds in the fund financial
statements. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that
comprises its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund
balances, revenues and expenditures. The fund focus is on current available resources and budget
compliance.
4. Fund Accounting
The District uses funds to maintain its financial records during the year. A fund is defined as a fiscal
and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. At this time the District only uses
governmental funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions typically are financed.
Governmental funds reporting focuses on the sources, uses and balances of current financial resources.
Expendable assets are assigned to the various governmental funds according to the purpose for which
they may or must be used. Current liabilities are assigned to the fund from which they will be paid. The
difference among governmental fund assets, liabilities, and deferred outflows/inflows is reported as
fund balance.
The District reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the District except
those required to be accounted for in another fund. The general fund balance is available to the District
for any purpose provided it is expended or transferred according to the general laws of Colorado.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Debt Service Fund – The Debt Service Fund accounts for the servicing of long-term debt including
contractual obligations approved by the District’s electorate and revenues generated by property taxes
that are required to be used in payment of long-term debt and contractual obligations.
5. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus refers to whether financial statements measure changes in current resources only
(current financial focus) or changes in both current and long-term resources (long-term economic
focus). Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues, expenditures, or expenses are
recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements.
Long-Term Economic Focus and Accrual Basis
Governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements use the long-term economic focus
and are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and
expenses are recognized when incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows.
Current Financial Focus and Modified Accrual Basis
The governmental fund financial statements use the current financial focus and are presented on the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recorded when susceptible to accrual; i.e., both measurable and available. “Available” means
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current
period. Expenditures are generally recognized when the related liability is incurred. The exception to
this general rule is that principal and interest on general long-term debt, if any, is recognized when due.
When an expenditure is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources (net
position), the District's policy is to first apply the expenditure toward restricted resources and then
toward unrestricted resources. In governmental funds, the District's policy is to first apply the
expenditure toward restricted fund balance and then to other, less-restrictive classifications—
committed and then assigned fund balances before using unassigned fund balances.
6. Intergovernmental Revenues
For governmental funds, intergovernmental revenues, such as contributions awarded on a non-
reimbursement basis, are recorded as receivables and revenues when measurable and available.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
7. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, and deferred inflows, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
8. Property Taxes
Property taxes are not due and payable until after the assessment year has ended, and are not included
in the budget or Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance of the assessment
year. Property taxes are recorded as deferred inflows in the year they are levied and measurable.
Property tax revenues are recorded as revenue in the year they are available or collected. Property taxes
are levied on or before December 15 of each year and attach as an enforceable lien on the property on
January 1. Taxes are payable in full on April 30 or in two installments on February 28 and June 15.
9. Interfund Transactions
Quasi-external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses. Transactions that
constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly
applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as
reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed. All other interfund transactions,
except quasi-external transactions and reimbursements, are reported as transfers.
10. Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
In the fall of each year, the District’s Board of Directors formally adopts a budget with appropriations
by fund for the ensuing year pursuant to the Colorado Local Budget Law. The budgets for the
governmental funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). As required by Colorado statutes, the District followed the following timetable in approving
and enacting a budget for the ensuing year:
(1) For the 2020 budget year, prior to August 25, 2019, the County Assessor sent the District the
assessed valuation of all taxable property within the District’s boundaries.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 3
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 15 -
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
(2) On or before October 15, 2019, the District’s accountant submitted to the District’s Board of
Directors a recommended budget which detailed the necessary property taxes needed along
with other available revenues to meet the District’s operating requirements.
(3) For the 2020 budget, prior to December 15, 2019, the District computed and certified to the
County Commissioners a rate of levy that derived the necessary property taxes as computed in
the proposed budget.
(4) For the 2020 budget, the final budget and appropriating resolution was adopted prior to
December 31, 2019.
(5) After adoption of the budget resolution, the District may make the following changes: a) it
may transfer appropriated monies between funds or between spending agencies within a fund,
as determined by the original appropriation level; b) supplemental appropriations to the extent
of revenues in excess of those estimated in the budget; c) emergency appropriations; and d)
reduction of appropriations for which originally estimated revenues are insufficient.
The level of control in the budget at which expenditures exceed appropriations is at the fund level. All
appropriations lapse at year-end.
11. Fund Balances
GASB Statement No. 54, "Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions"
provides more clearly defined fund balance categories to make the nature and extent of the constraints
placed on a government's fund balances more transparent. 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 inventory) or 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.
Committed fund balance - The portion of fund balance constrained for specific purposes according
to limitations imposed by the District’s highest level of decision making authority, the Board, prior to
the end of the current fiscal year. The constraint may be removed or changed only through formal
action of the Board.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 3
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 16 -
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – 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 or other individuals authorized to assign funds to be used
for a specific purpose. Assigned fund balances in special revenue funds will also include any remaining
fund balance that is not restricted or committed. This classification is necessary to indicate that those
funds are, at a minimum intended to be used for the purpose of that particular fund.
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.
NOTE B – EQUITY IN POOLED CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The District maintains a cash pool that is available for use by all funds. Each fund type's portion of this
pool is displayed on the balance sheet as "Equity in pooled cash and investments."
Cash Deposits
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 determined by the
PDPA. PDPA allows the institution to create a single collateral pool for all public funds. The pool for all
the uninsured public deposits as a group is to be maintained by another institution or held in trust. The
market value of the collateral must be at least equal to 102 percent of the aggregate uninsured deposits. As
of December 31, 2020, the District had no cash deposits.
Investments
Colorado state statutes authorize the District to invest in U.S. Treasury bills, obligations of any other U.S.
agencies, obligations of the World Bank, general obligation bonds of any state or any of their subdivisions,
revenue bonds of any state or any of their subdivisions, bankers acceptance notes, commercial paper,
repurchase agreements, money market funds and guaranteed investment contracts. All investments must be
held by the District, in its name, or in custody of a third party on behalf of the local government.
As of December 31, 2020, the District had $9,402 invested in the Colorado Surplus Asset Fund (CSafe), an
investment vehicle established for local government entities in Colorado to pool surplus funds. CSafe
operates similarly to a money market fund and each share is equal in value to $1.00. A designated custodial
bank provides safekeeping and depository services to CSafe in connection with the direct investment and
withdrawal functions of CSafe. Substantially all securities owned by CSafe are held by the Federal Reserve
Bank in the account maintained for the custodial bank. The custodian’s internal records identify the
investments owned by CSafe. CSafe funds carry a Standard & Poor’s AAAm rating. There is no custodial,
interest rate or foreign currency risk exposure.

NOTE B – EQUITY IN POOLED CASH AND INVESTMENTS – CONTINUED
CSafe operates like a 2a7-like external investment pool in the fair value hierarchy established by GASB
72. The underlying investments held by CSafe, and the District’s investment in CSafe, are valued at
amortized cost which approximates fair value. There are no limitations on withdrawals.
A reconciliation of the carrying value of deposits and investments reported above to the Statement of Net
Position is as follows:
Deposits $ –
CSafe 9,402
Equity in pooled cash and investments $ 9,402
NOTE C – INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS
The District has entered into the following intergovernmental agreements:
Joint Funding Agreement
The Joint Funding Agreement generally provides that the Financing Districts will assess mill levies to
collect property tax revenues which will be paid to the Operating District. The property tax revenues will
be used by the Operating District to pay Financing Costs, which are defined as the principal and interest
payments required by debt and interest rate swaps obtained or entered into by the Districts, including
replenishment of debt reserve funds.
In 2020, the mill levy assessed for collection in 2021 was 35 mills in Vail Square Metropolitan District
No. 2, with 32 mills allocated for the Joint Funding Agreement and 3 mills for the District Facilities Joint
Financing, Construction and Service Agreement; and, 21.875 mills in Vail Square Metropolitan District
No. 3, with 18.875 mills allocated for the Joint Funding Agreement and 3 mills for the District Facilities
Joint Financing, Construction and Service Agreement. The portion of the annual bond costs to be paid by
each Financing District will remain in the same proportion in future years.
District Facilities Joint Financing, Construction and Service Agreement
The Agreement generally provides an obligation for the Financing Districts to pay for the acquisition and
construction of the Facilities (defined above), to the extent not funded by the Joint Funding Agreement
(the Capital Obligation), and operation and maintenance of the Facilities and administrative expenses
incurred by the Operating District (the Service Obligation). The Financing Districts are obligated to
generate and pay to the Operating District certain tax and other revenues to fund the Capital Obligation
and the Service Obligation. The amounts of these Obligations are offset with one another on the
Statement of Net Position.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 3
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
- 18 -
NOTE C – INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS – CONTINUED
The Operating District has recorded a capital and service obligation receivable from the Financing
Districts as of December 31, 2020 in the amount of $9,471,796 which represents unreimbursed costs
incurred through that date for infrastructure construction and costs related to issuance of and debt service
on the loans. This obligation payable to the Operating District has been allocated between the Financing
Districts based on the Operating District’s forecast of the future annual bond costs to be paid by each
Financing District. Based upon this forecast, the amount of $1,610,205 has been allocated to Vail Square
Metropolitan District No. 3.
However, each Financing District is responsible to pay Financing Costs until the Operating District’s
loans have been fully repaid and the ultimate allocation of the Financing Costs between the Financing
Districts will be dependent on the assessed value and mill levy of each Financing District over the life of
the Operating District’s loans.
In any given year the Financing Districts are obligated to fund such portion of the Capital and Service
Obligations as may be funded with the District taxes available from imposition of a subordinate mill
levy, together with other charges imposed by the Financing Districts.
The Agreement specifies certain termination rights on the part of the Districts. Various limitations and
conditions to such termination rights exist and reference to the text of the Agreement should be made for
specific terms.
Pledge Agreement
The Districts entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Vail Reinvestment Authority.
Under this agreement and in consideration for the Districts’ commitment to undertake construction of
certain public improvements, the Vail Reinvestment Authority agrees to transfer to the Districts the
District Tax Increment Revenues, to which the Authority would otherwise be entitled under an Urban
Renewal Plan relating to the project.
NOTE D – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
During the normal course of business, the District may incur claims and other assertions against it from
various agencies and individuals. Management of the District and its legal representatives have disclosed
that they are not aware of any material outstanding claims against the District at December 31, 2020.

NOTE E – RISK MANAGEMENT
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of
assets; injuries to employees, or acts of God. The District has elected to participate in the Colorado Special
District Property and Liability Pool (the Pool) which is sponsored by the Special District Association of
Colorado. The Pool provides property and general liability, automobile physical damage and liability,
public official’s liability and machinery coverage to its members. Members of the Pool are required to
make additional surplus contributions. 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. During the year
ended December 31, 2020 the Pool made no distributions to the District.
Condensed financial statement data for the Colorado Special Districts Property and Liability Pool as of
December 31, 2019 (latest information available) is as follows:
Assets $ 55,602,023
Liabilities $ 33,163,342

NOTE F – TABOR AMENDMENT
In November 1992, Colorado voters amended Article X of the Colorado Constitution by adding Section 20,
commonly known as the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (“TABOR”). TABOR contains revenue, spending, tax
and debt limitations which apply to the State of Colorado and local governments. TABOR requires, with
certain exceptions, advance voter approval for any new tax, tax rate increase, mill levy above that of the
prior year, extension of any expiring tax, or tax policy change directly causing a new tax revenue gain to
any local government. Except for refinancing bonded debt at a lower interest rate or adding new employees
to existing pension plans, TABOR requires advance voter approval for the creation of any multiple fiscal
year or other financial obligation unless adequate present cash reserves are pledged irrevocable and held
for payments in future years.
TABOR also requires local governments to establish emergency reserves to be used for declared
emergencies only. Emergencies, as defined by TABOR, exclude economic conditions, revenue shortfalls,
or salary or fringe benefit increases. These reserves are required to be 3% or more of the fiscal year
spending (excluding bonded debt service) for fiscal years ended after December 31, 1994. At December
31, 2020, the District’s emergency reserve was $175.
Vail Square Metropolitan District No. 3
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020

NOTE F – TABOR AMENDMENT – CONTINUED
Under TABOR, the initial base for local government spending and revenue limits is December 31, 1992
fiscal year spending. The District’s first year of operations ended December 31, 2006. Future spending and
revenue limits are determined based on the prior year’s fiscal year spending adjusted for inflation in the
prior calendar year plus annual local growth. Fiscal year spending is generally defined as expenditures and
reserve increases with certain exceptions. Revenue, if any, in excess of the fiscal year spending limit must
be refunded in the next fiscal year unless voters approve retention of such revenue.
The electorate of the District authorized property taxes to be increased up to $1,500,000 in 2005, plus up to
$3,000,000 in 2007, and each year thereafter to pay the Districts operations, maintenance, and other
expenses, such amounts to increase annually in an amount not to exceed the applicable limitations of
Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution and Colorado Law.
The District’s electorate further approved that the District’s taxes be increased $120,000,000 annually, or
by such lesser annual amount as may be necessary to pay the District’s general or special obligation bonds,
revenue bonds or other multiple fiscal year financial obligations, including contracts, issued for the
purpose of refunding, paying or defeasing, in whole or in part, bonds, notes or other financial obligations
of the District. Such taxes may consist of an ad valorem property tax mill levy imposed without limitation
of rate and in amounts sufficient to produce the annual increase set forth above or such lesser amount as
may be necessary. The revenue from such taxes and any other monies used to pay such general or special
obligation bonds, revenue bonds or other multiple fiscal year financial obligations costs, and investment
income thereon, may be collected and spent by the District without regard to any expenditure, revenue
raising, or other limitation contained within Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution.
The District’s management believes it is in compliance with the financial provisions of TABOR. However,
TABOR is complex and subject to interpretation. Many of its provisions, including the interpretation of
how to calculate fiscal year spending limits, will require judicial interpretation.

The developer of the property which constitutes the District is Arrabelle at Vail Square, LLC. The
members of the District’s Board of Directors are officers, employees, or others associated with the
Developer and may have conflicts of interest in dealing with the District.
NOTE H – SIGNIFICANT TAXPAYER
The hotel complex located within the boundaries of District No. 3 represents all of the assessed valuation
of that District. The County Assessor increased the assessed valuation of the hotel from $12,706,140 in
2018 to $28,646,250 in 2019 and 2020. The hotel owner has protested the 2019 and 2020 assessed
valuations (which are the basis for taxes paid in 2020 and to be paid in 2021). The protest is currently
being litigated in District Court. A portion of the property taxes for the hotel received in 2020 and the
property taxes receivable in 2021 are subject to abatement if the District Court rules in favor of the hotel.
The District has budgeted an allowance for this potential abatement in the District’s 2021 budget but has
not deferred recognition of the tax revenue received in 2020.

the District that was not resolved until after the taxes were levied.
Property taxes collected in any one year include collection of delinquent property taxes assessed in prior
years. Information received from the County Treasurer does not permit identification of specific year of levy.
