I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose and Intent.
This Amended and Restated Consolidated Service Plan (the "Service Plan") is
submitted pursuant to Title 32 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (the "Special District Act").
This Service Plan amends, restates, and supercedes all existing Service Plans of the Squaw Creek
Metropolitan District and the Cordillera Metropolitan District. The Squaw Creek Metropolitan
District ("Squaw Creek District") and the Cordillera Metropolitan District ("Cordillera District")
(collectively the "Districts") are independent units of local government, separate and distinct
from Eagle County (the "County"), and, except as may otherwise be provided for by State or
local law or this Service Plan, their activities are subject to review by the County only insofar as
they may deviate in a material matter from the requirements of this Service Plan.
It is the intention of this Service Plan to provide the general structure for the on-
going day-to-day operation of the Districts and to consolidate the original Squaw Creek
Metropolitan District Service Plan and the Cordillera Metropolitan District Service Plan, as
amended, into one cohesive Service Plan. The primary purpose of the Cordillera District will be
to continue to provide public facilities and improvements ("Public Improvements") for the use
and benefit of all anticipated inhabitants and taxpayers of the Districts, and to finance the
construction, maintenance, and operation of these Public Improvements.
B. Need for the Districts.
There are currently no other governmental entities, including the County, located
in the immediate vicinity of the Districts that consider it desirable, feasible or practical to
undertake the design, acquisition, construction, installation, operation, maintenance and
financing of the Public Improvements. The Districts currently exist and continue to be necessary
in order for the Public Improvements to continue to be provided in the most economic manner
possible.
C. Objective of the County Regarding Districts' Service Plans.
The County's objective in approving the Service Plan is to codify the current
relationship between the Squaw Creek District and the Cordillera District and to authorize the
Cordillera District to provide all services currently provided by the Squaw Creek District,
including the design, acquisition, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of the
Public Improvements. Such services shall continue to be financed from the proceeds of debt
previously issued by the Squaw Creek District, the Cordillera Mountain Metropolitan Districtl,
and the Cordillera District, or by debt to be issued by the Squaw Creek District or the Cordillera
District in the future. All debt will be repaid by taxes imposed and collected by the Cordillera
District, as well as by any other revenues legally available for the repayment of debt. Debt has
been or will be issued within these parameters and, as further described in the financial Plan,
I The Cordillera Mountain Metropolitan District was consolidated with the Cordillera District on April 14, 2003. All outstanding
debt issued by the Cordillera Mountain Metropolitan District is being repaid by virtue of mill levies certified initially by the
Cordillera Mountain Metropolitan District and certified in the future by the Cordillera District, pursuant to the court order
consolidating the Cordillera District and the Cordillera Mountain Metropolitan District.
I
will insulate property owners from excessive tax burdens to support the servicing of the debt and
will result in a timely and reasonable discharge of the debt.
This Service Plan is intended to codify the purposes of the Districts and explicit
financial constraints that are not to be violated under any circumstances. The primary purpose is
to empower the Cordillera District to provide all services currently provided by the Cordillera
District and the Squaw. Creek District and to provide the Districts with all other statutory powers
necessary and proper to serve the health, safety, prosperity and general welfare of the residents
of Cordillera. The primary purpose of the Squaw Creek District is to perform ongoing
obligations that have not or cannot be transferred or assigned to the Cordillera District. The
Boards of Directors of both Districts have passed a joint resolution outlining each District's
respective roles, attached hereto as Exhibit D.
The Districts anticipate that the Squaw Creek District may be dissolved, without
County approval, at such time in the future as is deemed prudent by the Squaw Creek District's
Board of Directors; provided that there are no ongoing obligations of the Squaw Creek District
that the Squaw Creek District should perform, and that there are no obligations of the Squaw
Creek District that the Cordillera District does not desire to undertake.
II. BOUNDARIES
The area of the current Districts' Boundaries includes approximately 7,000 acres, all
located within Eagle County, Colorado. A legal description of the Districts' Boundaries is
attached hereto as Exhibit A. A vicinity map is attached hereto as Exhibit B. A map of the
Districts' Boundaries is attached hereto as Exhibit C. It is anticipated that the Districts'
boundaries may change from time to time as the Districts undergo inclusions and exclusions
pursuant to Section 32-1-401, et seq., C.R.S., and Section 32-1-501, et seq., C.R.S., subject to the
limitations set forth in Article IV below.
III. PROPOSED LAND USEIPOPULATION PROJECTIONS/ASSESSED
VALUATION
The Districts' boundaries consist of residential and parks/open space land. The current
assessed valuation of the Districts is $120,384,570 for purposes of this Service Plan and, at build
out, is expected to be sufficient to reasonably discharge the debt under the Financial Plan. The
fall and part-time population of the Districts at build-out is estimated to be approximately 2,220
people.
Approval of this Service Plan by the County does not imply approval of the development
of a specific area within the Districts, nor does it imply approval of the number of residential
units or the total site/floor area of commercial or industrial buildings identified in this Service
Plan or any of the exhibits attached hereto, unless the same is contained within a development
plan approved by the County, which plan may have been previously approved or may be
approved or amended subsequent to the effective date of this Service Plan.

IV. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED POWERS. IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES
A. Powers of the Districts and Service Plan Amendment.

Public Improvements, and shall have the power to provide any and all services within and
without the boundaries of the Districts as such power and authority is described in the Special
District Act, and other applicable statutes, common law and the Constitution, as all may be
amended from time to time, subject only to the following limitations:
1. Fire Protection Limitation

hydrants and related improvements installed as part of the water system shall not be limited by
this provision.
2. Construction Standards Limitation

operated and maintained in accordance with the standards and specifications of the County and
of other governmental entities having proper jurisdiction, and of those special districts that
qualify as "interested parties" under Section 32-1-204(1), C.R.S., as applicable. The Districts
will obtain the County's approval of civil engineering plans and will obtain applicable permits
for construction and installation of Public Improvements prior to performing such work.
3. Monies from Other Governmental Sources
The Districts shall not apply for or accept Conservation Trust Funds, Great Outdoors
Colorado Funds, or other funds available from or through governmental or non-profit entities
that the County is eligible to apply for, except pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement with
the County. This Section shall not apply to specific ownership taxes which shall be distributed
to and shall be a revenue source for the Districts without any limitation.
4. Parks and Recreation Limitation.
The Districts shall, as a supplement to, but not in duplication of the services and facilities
now provided by the Western Eagle County Metropolitan Recreation District for Cordillera, its
residents and taxpayers, design, acquire, install, construct, operate and maintain public park and

3
5. Service Plan Amendment Requirement. This Service Plan has been
designed with sufficient flexibility to enable the Districts to provide required services and
facilities under evolving circumstances without the need for numerous amendments. Actions of
the Districts which violate the limitations set forth in Sections IV or in Section V shall be
deemed to be material modifications to this Service Plan, and the County shall be entitled to all
remedies available under State and local law to enjoin such actions of the Districts.
B. Preliminary Engineering Survey.
All of the existing Public Improvements were designed and constructed in such a
way as to assure that the Public Improvements standards are compatible with those of the
County. As-built depictions of the Public Improvements that are currently the responsibility of
the Districts have previously been submitted to, and are on file with, the County.
C. Multiple District Structure.
The Cordillera District will undertake the existing and future design, acquisition,
construction, installation, operation, maintenance, and financing of the Public Improvements.
The Squaw Creek District will perform only those obligations that the District cannot assign or
transfer to the Cordillera District. The nature of the functions and services to be provided by
each District is clarified in the "Joint Resolution of the Boards of Directors of Squaw Creek
Metropolitan District and Cordillera Metropolitan District," attached hereto as Exhibit D.
v. FINANCIAL PLAN
A. General.
The Districts are authorized to provide for the design, acquisition, construction,
installation, operation, maintenance and financing of the Public Improvements from the
Districts' revenues, and by and through the proceeds of debt previously issued by the Districts or
issued in the future. The Financial Plan for the Districts demonstrates the Districts' ability to
discharge existing debt and further demonstrates that the Districts have the financial ability to
operate, maintain, repair and replace the Public Improvements and to provide all other services
the Districts are authorized to provide. All bonds and other debt issued by the Districts may be
repaid from any and all legally available revenues of the Districts, including general ad valorem
taxes to be imposed upon all taxable property within the Districts. The Districts will also rely
upon various other revenue sources authorized by law. These will include, but shall not be
limited to, the power to assess fees, rates, tolls, penalties, or charges as provided in Section 32-1-
1001(1), c.R.S., as amended from time to time.
B. Maximum Voted Interest Rate and Maximum Underwriting Discount.
The interest rate on any debt is expected to be the market rate at the time the debt
is issued. In the event of a default, the proposed maximum interest rate on any debt is not
. expected to exceed 18%. The proposed maximum underwriting discount will be 5%. Debt,
when issued, will comply with all relevant requirements of this Service Plan, State law, and
F ederallaw as then applicable to the issuance of public securities.
4
C. Maximum Debt Mill LevY Imposition Term.
The Districts shall not impose a levy for repayment of any and all debt (or use the
proceeds of any mill levy for repayment of debt) on any single property developed for residential
uses which exceeds 40 years after the year of the initial imposition of such mill levy, unless a
majority of the Board of Directors of the District imposing the mill levy are residents of such
District and have voted in favor of a refunding of a part or all of the debt and such refunding will
result in a net present value savings as set forth in Section 11-56-101, C.RS.; et seq.
D. Debt Repayment Sources.
The Districts may impose a mill levy on taxable property within its boundaries as
a primary source of revenue for repayment of debt service and for operations and maintenance.
The Districts may also rely upon various other revenue sources authorized by law. At the
Districts' discretion, these may include the power to assess fees, rates, tolls, penalties, or charges
as provided in Section 32-1-1001(1), C.RS., as amended from time to time. In no event shall the
debt service mill levy in the Districts exceed, for residential property within Districts, the
Maximum Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term.
E. Security for Debt.
The Districts shall not pledge any revenue or property of the County as security
for the indebtedness set forth in this Service Plan. Approval of this Service Plan shall not be
construed as a guarantee by the County of payment of any of the Districts' obligations; nor shall
anything in the Service Plan be construed so as to create any responsibility or liability on the part
of the County in the event of default by the Districts in the payment of any such obligation.
F. TABOR Compliance.
The Districts will comply with the provisions of TABOR. The Districts have, or
in the discretion of the Districts' Boards, may establish in the future other qualifying entities to
manage, fund, construct and operate facilities, services, and programs. To the extent allowed by
law, any entity created by the Districts will remain under the control of the Districts' Boards.
G. Districts' Operating Costs.
The Districts may provide for their operating costs from fees, charges, tolls, and
from the revenue derived from any operating and maintenance mill levy certified by the
Districts' Boards.
VI. DISSOLUTION
The Districts may file a petition in the District Court for dissolution when there are no
financial obligations or outstanding bonds, or any such financial obligations or outstanding
bonds are adequately secured by escrow funds or securities meeting the investment requirements
in Part 6 of Article 75 of Title 24, c.R.S., and upon an independent determination by the Board
of County Commissioners that the financing purposes for which the Districts were created have
been achieved, and that ongoing service and maintenance obligations of the Districts will be
5
transferred to another government entity that is willing and able to undertake those obligations
and acquire any related facilities therefor. The Districts' dissolution, prior to payment of all
debt, will be subject to approval of a plan of dissolution in the District Court of Eagle County
pursuant to S 32-1-704, C.R.S.
VII. DISCLOSURE TO PURCHASERS
The Districts will continue to use reasonable efforts to assure that all developers of the
property located within the Districts provide written notice to all purchasers of property in the
Districts regarding the general description of the Districts' authority to impose and collect rates,
fees, tolls and charges. The form of notice shall be filed with the County prior to the initial
issuance of the debt of the District imposing the mill levy.
VIII. CONCLUSION
It is submitted that this Service Plan for the Districts, as required by Section 32-1-203(2),
C.R.S., establishes that:

existing service in the area currently served by the Districts is adequate for present and projected
needs;

the area within their proposed boundaries; and
4. The area within the Districts does have, and will have, the financial ability
to discharge the Districts' indebtedness on a reasonable basis.
5. Adequate service is not, and will not be, available to the area through the
County or other existing municipal or quasi-municipal corporations, other than the Districts,
including existing special districts other than the Districts, within a reasonable time and on a
comparable basis.
6. The facility and service standards of the Districts are compatible with the
facility and service standards of the County within which the special districts are located and
each municipality which is an interested party under Section 32-1-204(1), C.R.S.
7. The proposal is in substantial compliance with a master plan adopted
pursuant to section 32-1-204 (I), C.R.S.
8. The proposal is in compliance with any duly adopted County, regional or
state long-range water quality management plan for the area.
9. The continued existence pursuant to this Service Plan of the Districts is in
the best interests of the area currently served by the Districts.
