INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Cordillera Metropolitan District
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of Cordillera Metropolitan District (the “District”), as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2021, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial
statements as listed in the Table of Contents, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the District, as of December 31, 2021 and the respective changes in financial position
thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (“U.S.GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be
independent of the District and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant
ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
The District’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and for 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as
a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
To the Board of Directors
Cordillera Metropolitan District
ii
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with U.S. GAAS will always detect
a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material
if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment
made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with U.S. GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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, no such opinion is
expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,
that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related
matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
The District has not presented Management’s Discussion and Analysis that U.S. GAAP has determined is
necessary to supplement, although not required to be a part of, the basic financial statement. Our
opinions on the basic financial statements are not affected by the missing information.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the District’s financial statements as a whole. The individual fund budgetary comparisons found
on pages 24 -29, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements.
The items found on pages 24 -29 are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The
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 financial statements or to the
financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
To the Board of Directors
Cordillera Metropolitan District
iii
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the report. The other information
comprises the Schedule of Debt Service Requirements to Maturity and the Five Year Summary of
Assessed Valuation, Mill Levy and Property Taxes collected but does not include the basic financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover
the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and basic
financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on
the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information
exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

See accompanying Notes to Basic Financial Statements.
(5)
Net Change in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds 508,481$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. In the statement of activities,
capital outlay is not reported as an expenditure. However, the statement of activities will
report as depreciation expense the allocation of the cost of any depreciable asset over the
estimated useful life of the asset. Capital outlay, the conveyance of capital assets to
other governments and depreciation expense in the current period are as follows:
Current Year Capital Assets 932,356
Depreciation (1,322,538)
Gain on Capital Assets (59,350)
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds, leases, and other obligations) provides
current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal
of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of government funds.
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds
report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued,
whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.
This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt
and related items.
Loan Principal 1,690,000
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the
governmental funds.

NOTE 1 DEFINITION OF REPORTING ENTITY
Cordillera Metropolitan District (the District) is a quasi-municipal corporation organized and
operated pursuant to provisions set forth in the Colorado Special District Act. The District
was established to provide water, streets, safety controls, fire protection, cable television
system, transportation and mosquito control within its boundaries which are located in Eagle
County, Colorado. An amendment to the District’s service plan in 1997 gave the District
powers to provide parks and recreation facilities and services. An amended and restated
service plan, approved in 2005, gave the District the authority to exercise all of the powers
authorized pursuant to the Colorado Special District Act.
The District’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is
responsible for establishing GAAP for state and local governments through its
pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations). The more significant accounting policies
established by GAAP used by the District are discussed below.
The District is governed by an elected Board which is responsible for setting policy,
appointing administrative personnel and adopting an annual budget in accordance with the
provisions of the Colorado Special District Act.
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 appoint a voting
majority of an organization's governing body and is either 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 discussed above, the District is not financially accountable for any
other entity, nor is the District a component unit of any other government.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The more significant accounting policies of the District are described as follows:
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements include the statement of net position and the
statement of activities. These financial statements include all of the activities of the District.
The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental
activities are normally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues.
CORDILLERA METROPOLITAN DISTRICT
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021
(10)
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
The statement of net position reports all financial and capital resources of the District. The
difference between the sum of assets and deferred outflows and the sum of liabilities and
deferred inflows is reported as net position.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct and indirect
expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses
are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues
include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from
goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds. Major individual
governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized
as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be
available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to
pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to
be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. The
major sources of revenue susceptible to accrual are property taxes. All other revenue items
are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the District.
Expenditures, other than interest on long-term obligations, are recorded when the liability is
incurred or when the long-term obligation is due.
The District reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the District’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources not required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Debt Service Fund – Cordillera Metropolitan District is used to account for the
accumulation of financial resources to be used for the payment of general long-term debt
principal, interest, and other related costs for debt issued by the District.

Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
(Continued)
The Debt Service Fund – Cordillera Mountain Metropolitan District is used to account for
the accumulation of financial resources to be used for the payment of general long-term
debt principal, interest, and other related costs for debt issued by Cordillera Mountain
Metropolitan District prior to the consolidation with the District.
The Debt Service Fund – Debt Service Reserve is used to account for the accumulation
of financial resources contributed by Cordillera Property Owners Association to be used
restrictively and exclusively for the payment of general long-term debt principal, interest,
and other related costs for debt issued by Cordillera Metropolitan District and by
Cordillera Mountain Metropolitan District prior to the consolidation with the District.
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the acquisition and construction of
major capital facilities.
Additionally, the District reports the following fiduciary fund:
The Wildlife Mitigation Trust Fund is used to account for resources legally held in trust
for use by the District for projects related solely to mitigating impacts on wildlife within
the District. All investment earnings are available to be used for such projects at the
direction of the District’s wildlife mitigation committee. The trust agreement requires
preservation of the principal balance of approximately $170,700.
Budgets
In accordance with the State Budget Law, the District’s Board of Directors holds public
hearings in the fall each year to approve the budget and appropriate the funds for the
ensuing year. The appropriation is at the total fund expenditures level and lapses at
year-end. The District’s Board of Directors can modify the budget by line item within the total
appropriation without notification. The appropriation can only be modified upon completion
of notification and publication requirements. The budget includes each fund on its basis of
accounting unless otherwise indicated.
The District has amended its annual budget for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Pooled Cash and Investments
The District follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds to maximize
investment earnings. Except when required by trust or other agreements, all cash is
deposited to and disbursed from a single bank account. Cash in excess of immediate
operating requirements is pooled for deposit and investment flexibility. Investment earnings
are allocated periodically to the participating funds based upon each fund’s average equity
balance in the total cash.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Property Taxes
Property taxes are levied by the District’s Board of Directors. The levy is based on assessed
valuations determined by the County Assessor generally as of January 1 of each year. The
levy is normally set by December 15 by certification to the County Commissioners to put the
tax lien on the individual properties as of January 1 of the following year. The County
Treasurer collects the determined taxes during the ensuing calendar year. The taxes are
payable by April or if in equal installments, at the taxpayer’s election, in February and June.
Delinquent taxpayers are notified in August and generally sales of the tax liens on
delinquent properties are held in November or December. The County Treasurer remits the
taxes collected monthly to the District.
Property taxes, net of estimated uncollectible taxes, are recorded initially as deferred inflows
of resources in the year they are levied and measurable. The unearned property tax
revenues are recorded as revenue in the year they are available or collected.
Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
User fees constitute a perpetual lien on or against the property served until paid. Such liens
may be foreclosed upon as provided by the state of Colorado. Therefore, no provision for
uncollectible receivables has been made in the financial statements.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g.
roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported by the District. Capital assets are
defined by the District 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 acquisition value at the date of
donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend the life of the asset are not capitalized. Improvements are capitalized and
depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related fixed assets, as applicable.
Depreciation expense has been computed using the straight-line method over the following
estimated economic useful lives.
Infrastructure, Buildings and Improvements 30 to 40 Years
Water and Sewer Systems 20 Years
Vehicles and Equipment 5 Years
Deposits Held
Deposits held represent refundable deposits held until the expiration of the lease, these are
reported in the government-wide financial statements. Governmental funds report the
liability when due.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Compensated Absences
Vacation benefits are accrued as a liability as the benefits are earned if the employees’
rights to receive compensation are attributable to services already rendered and it is
probable that the employer will compensate the employees for the benefits through paid
time off or some other means. All compensated absence liabilities include salary-related
payments, where applicable. The total compensated absence liability is reported on the
government-wide financial statements. Governmental funds report the compensated
absence liability at the fund reporting level only when due.
Tap Fees and Contributed Assets
Tap fees are paid for the right to connect to the District’s water facilities and are recorded as
capital contributions when received. Public improvements contributed to the District by other
entities are recorded as capital contributions and additions to capital assets at estimated fair
value when received.
Amortization
Cost of Refunding
In the government-wide financial statements, the deferred cost of refunding is being
amortized using the interest method over the life of the refunding. The amortization amount
is a component of interest expense and the unamortized deferred cost is reflected as a
deferred outflow of resources.
Deferred Inflow of Resources
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred
inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of
resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will
not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The District has one
item that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, deferred property tax
revenue, is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amount
becomes available.
Equity
Net Position
For government-wide presentation purposes when both restricted and unrestricted
resources are available for use, it is the District’s practice to use restricted resources first,
then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Fund Balance
Fund balance for governmental funds should be reported in classifications that comprise a
hierarchy based on the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the
specific purposes for which spending can occur. Governmental funds report up to five
classifications of fund balance: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. Because circumstances differ among governments, not every government or
every governmental fund will present all of these components. The following classifications
describe the relative strength of the spending constraints:

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Equity (Continued)
Fund Balance (Continued)
Nonspendable Fund Balance – The portion of fund balance that cannot be spent
because it is either not in spendable form (such as prepaid amounts or inventory) or
legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted Fund Balance – The portion of fund balance that is constrained to being used
for a specific purpose by external parties (such as debt holders), constitutional
provisions, or enabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance – The portion of fund balance that can only be used for
specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s
highest level of decision-making authority, the Board of Directors. The constraint may be
removed or changed only through formal action of the Board of Directors.
Assigned Fund Balance – The portion of fund balance that is constrained by the
government’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but is neither restricted nor
committed. Intent is expressed by the Board of Directors to be used for a specific
purpose. Constraints imposed on the use of assigned amounts are more easily removed
or modified than those imposed on amounts that are classified as committed.
Unassigned Fund Balance – The residual portion of fund balance that does not meet any
of the criteria described above.
If more than one classification of fund balance is available for use when an expenditure is
incurred, it is the District’s practice to use the most restrictive classification first.

NOTE 3 CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
Deposits with Financial Institutions
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 102% of the aggregate uninsured deposits.
The State Commissioners for banks and financial services are required by statute to monitor
the naming of eligible depositories and reporting of the uninsured deposits and assets
maintained in the collateral pools.
Citywide Bank Money Market Account
The Fiduciary Fund monies that are included in the trust accounts at Citywide Bank are
invested in a Public Fund Premium Money Market Account. This portfolio is a money market
and each share is equal in value to $1.00.
At December 31, 2021, the District’s cash deposits had a bank balance of $598,154 and a
carrying balance of $596,399.
Investments
The District has adopted a formal investment policy which follows state statutes regarding
investments.
The District generally limits its concentration of investments to those noted with an asterisk
(*) below, which are believed to have minimal credit risk, minimal interest rate risk and no
foreign currency risk. Additionally, the District is not subject to concentration risk or
investment custodial risk disclosure requirements for investments that are in the possession
of another party.
Colorado revised statutes limit investment maturities to five years or less unless formally
approved by the Board of Directors. Such actions are generally associated with a debt
service reserve or sinking fund requirements.
Colorado statutes specify investment instruments meeting defined rating and risk criteria in
which local governments may invest which include:
. Obligations of the United States, certain U.S. government agency securities and
securities of the World Bank
. General obligation and revenue bonds of U.S. local government entities
. Certain certificates of participation
. Certain securities lending agreements
. Bankers’ acceptances of certain banks

The District invested in the Colorado Local Government Liquid Asset Trust (COLOTRUST)
(the Trust), an investment vehicle established for local government entities in Colorado to
pool surplus funds. The State Securities Commissioner administers and enforces all state
statutes governing the Trust. The Trust operates similarly to a money market fund and each
share is equal in value to $1.00.
The Trust offers shares in two portfolios, COLOTRUST PRIME and COLOTRUST PLUS+.
Both portfolios may invest in U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements
collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities.
COLOTRUST PLUS+ may also invest in certain obligations of U.S. government agencies,
highest rated commercial paper, and any security allowed under CRS 24-75-601. A
designated custodial bank serves as custodian for the Trust’s portfolios pursuant to a
custodian agreement.
The custodian acts as safekeeping agent for the Trust’s investment portfolios and provides
services as the depository in connection with direct investments and withdrawals. The
custodian’s internal records segregate investments owned by the Trust. COLOTRUST is
rated AAAm by Standard & Poor’s. COLOTRUST records its investments at fair value and
the District records its investment in COLOTRUST at net asset value as determined by fair
value. There are no unfunded commitments, the redemption frequency is daily, and there is
no redemption notice period.

Retirement Plan
The District participates in the Security Benefit, multiple-employer public employee
retirement systems that are qualified plans as defined by IRS Code Section 401(A) and 457
and Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS) 24.54. The plans provide retirement benefits through
a defined contribution plan to participating counties, municipalities, and special districts. In a
defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan, plus
investment earnings. There are no unfunded past service liabilities. All full-time and part-
time regular employees are required to participate in the 401(A) plan after approximately
one month of service. The District contributes 6.2% of employee compensation, excluding
overtime and bonuses. The employee is required to contribute an amount at least equal to
the District’s contribution. District employees may also choose to participate in the 457 plan.
The District provides a match of 100% of employee contributions up to 5% of compensation,
to the 457 plan up to the annual IRS limits on individual contributions. Actual Contributions
amounted to 61,601 during 2021.
The District and employees each made the required 6.2% minimum contributions to the
401(A) plan in 2021 of $139,870. Required contribution rates may be amended within the
statutory limits by the Board of Directors of the District.
NOTE 8 CORDILLERA PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION
Effective January 1, 2020, the District entered into an agreement with Cordillera Property
Owners Association (the Association) to provide general administrative, management,

NOTE 9 RISK MANAGEMENT
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; thefts of, damage to, or
destruction of assets; errors or omissions; injuries to employees; or acts of God.
The District is a member of the Colorado Special Districts Property and Liability Pool (the
Pool). The Pool is an organization created by intergovernmental agreement to provide
property, liability, public officials’ liability, boiler and machinery and workers’ compensation
coverage to its members. Settled claims have not exceeded this coverage in any of the past
three fiscal years.

NOTE 9 RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
The District pays annual premiums to the Pool for liability, property, public officials’ liability,
and workers’ compensation coverage. In the event aggregated losses incurred by the Pool
exceed amounts recoverable from reinsurance contracts and funds accumulated by the
Pool, the Pool may require additional contributions from the Pool members. Any excess
funds which the Pool determines are not needed for purposes of the Pool may be returned
to the members pursuant to a distribution formula.
NOTE 10 TAX, SPENDING, AND DEBT LIMITATIONS
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 for the prior year, extension of any
expiring tax, or tax policy change directly causing a net 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 debt or other financial obligation unless adequate present cash reserves
are pledged irrevocably and held for payments in all future fiscal years.
Further, the District’s operations and maintenance mill levy may be adjusted to: (i) account
for changes in law or the method by which assessed valuations are calculated, and (ii) offset
any property tax cut or limit which is mandated by the State constitution.
On November 4, 2003, the District’s electors approved a ballot question which permits the
District to impose a mill levy for operations, maintenance and other expenses sufficient to
generate a maximum of $2,700,000 in revenues in collection year 2004 and every year
thereafter. Such taxes may increase as allowed by Sections 29-1-301 of the Colorado
Revised Statutes, which generally permits annual increases of no more than 5.5%. Further,
the District’s operations and maintenance mill levy may be adjusted to: (i) account for
changes in law or the method by which assessed valuations are calculated, and (ii) offset
any property tax cut or limit which is mandated by the State constitution.
On November 4, 2008 the District’s electors approved a ballot question authorizing the
district to collect, retain and spend the full amount of all taxes, tax increment revenues, tap
fees, park fees, facility fees, service charges, inspection charges, administrative charges,
contract payments, grants or any other fee, rate, toll, penalty or charge authorized by law or
contract to be imposed collected received by the district in 2008 and each fiscal year
thereafter without regard to any spending, revenue-raising or other limitations imposed by
TABOR or Colorado law.

NOTE 10 TAX, SPENDING, AND DEBT LIMITATIONS (CONTINUED)
TABOR requires local governments to establish Emergency Reserves. These reserves must
be at least 3% of Fiscal Year Spending (excluding bonded debt service). Local governments
are not allowed to use the Emergency Reserves to compensate for economic conditions,
revenue shortfalls, or salary or benefit increases.
The District’s management believes it is in compliance with the provisions of TABOR.
However, TABOR is complex and subject to interpretation. Many of the provisions, including
the interpretation of how to calculate Fiscal Year Spending limits, will require judicial
interpretation.
