Certified Public Accountant Member: American Institute of CPA's Colorado Society of CPA's June 10, 1981 Eagle County Commissioners Eagle County Court House Eagle, Colorado 81631 Gentlemen: I am submitting the following proposal to provide comprehensive financial plan- ning services for Eagle County. With the anticipated passage of Senate Bill 1202, it appears that Eagle County will be in a politically advantageous position to seek County -wide support and passage of a long -needed County -wide sales tax. In my opinion, it is impera- tive that an independent financial analysis and strategy be prepared to assist Eagle County with the development of the public information that will be needed to be presented relating to a County -wide sales tax. Because of my involvement with Eagle County and because I have built up a certain credibility in Eagle County during the past thirteen years, I feel that I could be of tremendous assistance to the County Commissioners on a consulting basis. The scope of financial planning services that I feel Eagle County will be in need of includes the following: 1.' The preparation of a phased capital improvement plan relating to the crimi- nal justice complex including debt service schedules. 2. The refinement and development of a comprehensive Eagle County five to ten year capital improvement program. 3. A detailed analysis of realistic funding methods available to Eagle County relating to the implementation of the capital improvement plan. 4. An updating of the Eagle County Comprehensive Financial Plan taking into consideration the lack of P.I.L.T. funds. 5. A detailed projection of the revenue yields relating to a 1 percent County- wide sales tax. 6. Assistance relating to the marketing, structuring, strategy, timing, and public acceptance of a 1 percent Eagle County sales tax.
