This memo serves as a recap of several different types of funding options or opinions on how funding can occur. ~ V}[SION: VVe believe that the role played by the Vail Valley Marketing Board has had measurable positive results on our summer business levels within the valley. To continue this activity and further sophisticate or expand the marketing effort; a long range funding source needs to be established. This funding source or combination of sources must be equitable and consistent. In turn, Marketing Board programs and activities must be well planned in advance and show measurable results for the marketing investment dollars that are generated. To finalize funding options, a committee is being established that will meet with a sense of urgency to decide how either legislatively, or through other forms, long range funding could be established. Realistically this process could take up to two years, but the process must inspire confidence in the cunent funding partners so that activities of the Marketing Board can continue in the interim. The Marketing Board's overall performance will be a significant credibility factor in supporting the long range funding analysis process. Certain funding discussion have already occuned and below is a recap of some of the discussion points. OVIERA][..IL CONSIEDERA'Il'IONS: 1) Any funding mechanism would require a consensus and active support of local governmental entities, V.A., and county government so that our state legislators can propose and support legislation. 2) Any existing funding mechanism (lodging tax, special district, business improvement district, etc.) will require action by the legislature because: a) they are not currently applicable to our need (i.e. special district) b) their boundaries are typically county wide (lodging tax) or within a municipality (business improvement district) and do not cross jurisdictions. 3) The boundaries of any special entity created should logically coincide with the Upper Eagle Valley Water & Sanitation District to include all impacted businesses. ~~AILAB]LE O?'}CIONS: 1) Implement a county wide lodging tax. a) Enabling legislation in place; over 30 counties have enacted. b) Legislative action would be necessary to amend the existing statute to implement on less than county wide basis. 2) Create a business improvement district. a) Enabling legislation in place. Created by a petition process involving businesses within the jurisdiction. b) Legislative action would be necessary to amend the existing statute to implement across municipal boundaries. c) Could be enacted within existing municipalities of Vail and Avon separately but unincorporated areas could not be included. d) Business license fee formulas would need to be created to be fair and equitable. e) Collection mechanism (i.e. at county level or municipal level) would need to be created. f) Funds collected can be administered by a board either appointed or elected by business affected. 3) Create a special district. a) Can create special districts now for a variety of purposes. Economic development and marketing are not currently among those. b) Legislative action would be necessary to enable economic development or marketing to become an allowable purpose. c) Currently special districts do not levy sales tax. Need further research to determine if this can be done. 4) Continue funding through the current partners and add additional associations or organizational funding based on performance and credibility of the Marketing Board's activities. a) This would need to be considered if no other option was found and the performance and results of the Marketing Board were deemed to be important to support. O'B'HER CO1~SEDIERAT~ONS: It is important to begin work on this process now as there are issues with many of the items mentioned. This memo serves to simply indicate some of the ideas and opinions that have been offered. It may be a goal to draft legislation for a special district during October of `95 for the legislative session in January of 1996. The finance committee must determine if this is realistic. Steve Dewire, Ross Boyle, and Frank Johnson will be involved in this process fully. A decision needs to be made whether funding for an independent individual to help facilitate this process could be obtained. This individual may serve as a clerk and facilitator of the committee discussions and legislative submittal process. Additionally, a lobbyist may have to be hired and funding for this activity would need to be secured. Projections for realistic funding options will be assembled through the finance committee. o (,~S b'• 4 d•i5 a"# I C;kd., ~ MARK1ETING BOARD AC'd'M'ICgES ~ STATU~ ~F THE TCB Our purpose is to update you on the TCB, but primarily on the activities of the Marketing . Board now, and in the future planning for 1996. A process of obtaining feedback has been completed with the organizations below: Beaver Creek Resort Company Board Town Council of Avon Vail Associates ABCRA/ Kate Collins Other Individuals The purpose of these meetings was to listen to down valley concerns regarding the perception of the TCB, its operations, and relationship with the 1Vlarketing Board. My purpose was also to schedule presentations with Ross Boyle so that after past perceptions had been voiced; these parties could see the cunent/future direction of the Marketing Board. We also discussed the return on investment of marketing dollars for the specific funding partners. All of the perceptions that were a part of these discussions have been recapped separately and changes implemented. Three larger factors were discussed: 1) Caliber and quality of information relative to return on investment was not clear enough. 2) Concern about influence between the TCB and Marketing Board was expressed. 3) As we all know, a realistic long range funding plan needs to be put in place. (Long range funding options have been recapped separately). - I believe that the process of listening to these concerns and responding to specific questions has allowed the message of current 1Vlarketing Board activities to be received more clearly. Q ~ - Presentations to the Beaver Creek Resort Company and Town of Avon have occurred twice; once in a listening format and secondly by Ross Boyle and myself to give them an update on cunent Marketing Board activities. - Also discussed, was the general reorganization of the Bureau through the last 6 months: and that the new committee structure has been positively received. Goals and the names of committee members are in your packet. - Ross Boyle and the 1Vlarketing Board members function both with, and separately from, the TCB. They essentially fulfill the "vice president of 1Vlarketing" role in a large city operation. but they are also able to operate independently using the TCB as a facilitation group. - The process of collecting general information and options on long range funding is ready to progress. The realistic time line for formulation of a plan, legislative action, and possible voter/industry approval could be up to two years. I believe it is important to be realistic and balance this effort with other current issues such as transportation. Marketing funding, in whatever form it takes, must stand on its own. - From Ross Boyle's point of view, it will be important to build consensus regarding long term funding based on the performance of the Vail Valley Marketing Board. - The next steps are to convene a meeting with Peggy Osterfoss, Buz Reynolds, Andy Daly, and Kent Myers to discuss long range funding options and opinions in more detail. James Johnson will listen in to this meeting on behalf of the county. We are in the process of setting this up now. - Additionally, a finance committee will begin substantive meetings on how to distill the most workable method for long range funding and present the issue so that it can be properly debated and evaluated with the current funding partners. - Although there has been discussion relative to some groups doing marketing on their own, I feel strongly that a concerted valley wide effort will be the only . competent way to be effective with the dollars we have. I hope that issues of the past, whether they be related to the TCB or the Marketing Board can be left in the past and we can move forward to make a decision on how this 1Vlarketing Board will exist. - Operationally, the TCB is also evaluating combination of the reservation services which has long been a topic with Vail Associates. These discussions will be escalated so the situation can be resolved once and for all. ~ ST~~~~ THE TCB Our purpose is to update you on the TCB, but primarily on the activities of the Marketing Board now, and in the future planning for 1996.

As you know, the TCB Board, its governing body, was restructured in December of 1994 to 1 more effectively combine the input and energy of the major governmental and quasi- governmental entities with a broader range of business community leaders to provide a truly 1 synergistic approach to coordinating the myriad of marketing "tools" the valley has created. [n addition, the interlinking of working committees, focused on different aspects of markenng, ' has created the opportunity for a much more cohesive, comprehensive focused marketing program which, in the end, will produce much greater impact than the fragmented efforts that had arisen prior to this change. 1 The effort has been in place for almost 8 months now, and we are beginning to see the power available trom linking the programs produced by the Commission on Special Events and ' Activities, with the advertising support of the Marketing Board and the packaging support of the Lodging Community to generate a more beneficial program for all concerned. , Most of the presentation deals with this year's Marketing Board campaign and its impacts on the communities of the Vail Valley. Meetings have been conducted with the past funding partners to determine their level of interest in participating in 1996 and beyond. All concur with the t necessity to develop a long range funding scheme that is self-generating and more "fair" to all businesses and entities involved. Preliminary work has begun on this project and your future support will be essential to its success. 1 Thank You for this oPPortunitY to bring You uP to date on the progress of our program thus far. ~ We appreciate the Vail Town Council's support and leadership in the process. ~ ~ t ~ 'I t .M ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ O bummer Va'll Valley Marketoing Board Report to Investors What we wl'Il cover ol'~erformance to Date 01995 Marketeing Ol!)!)O Pi-uposal VVMB Mi' 0 ssion Promote ~ v'la le year-around Vaoll Valley economattractin by ore visitors in May . through October O ~ Fcolrformance Sales 7"rends ~ World Champolon- 60% ~~~~~L % aNcREASE oN sALEs TAx CoLLEcTIoNS ships skewed data ~o% - - • Summer gains have 140% ~ E3Noe-Apr outpace winter in 4 of ¦ May-Oct - - last 5 years ~20% ~ • W'Inter receipts 37% 10% - .t_-- - . . e ~e Oin e 87 has nar- ~ 0 % ~ i ~ , , _ . rowed to 23 % in ' 94 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 0 0) CD ~ v- v- ~ ~ ~ erformanc ~ .

In general, the loss of waters of the United States is limited to no more than `/z acre, practicable actions must be taken to avoid or minimize on-site and off-site impacts, the home must be for a personal residence, can only be used once per parcel, and can not be used with NWP 14, NWP 18, or NWP 26. Furthermore, this NWP will require prior notification to the Corps. This notification is required to ensure that activities authorized by this nationwide permit have no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse impacts on the aquatic environment. Nationwide permits are general permits issued on a nationwide basis to authorize, with,little or no paperwork, minor activities with minimal impact on the aquatic environment. Many landowners wil,l no longer have to go through the more letigthy individual permit process which typically takes more than 120 days. Under this NWP, landowners will receive a decision in 30 days or less. A state Section 401 water quality certification or waiver is required for this NWP because it authorizes the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands. The state agency is reviewing this NWP for 401 water quality certification and will reach a decision to issue or deny or require additional conditions by the effective date. In addition to this NWP, the Corps published in the Federal Register on July 19, 1995, for public comment a new process that, for the first time, will provide landowners the opportunity to appeal a Gorps jurisdiction determination or permit denial decision. When finalized, individuals dissatisfied with such decisions will have an administrative review process to address their concerns rather than only having the option to challenge the Corps in court, which can be expensive and time consuming.

This was an exhilarating ride.and as I descended I came upon a sign stating that the land I was about to cross was private land, which was under consideratian for a land exchange as mentioned above. This sign recommended that I contact ,you if I was in support af the land exchange to allow for the continued access to the back country that I was currently enjoying. That is why I am writing this letter. I would like to see this • area continued to be nondeveloped and available for public.use. I wauld hope this would include other shoulder areas around the Vail area including the Nottingham Ridge area just west af the radio towers. The quality of life in Vail revolves a great deal around its recreational opportuniti.es and trails such as the Davos Trail are an inte~C-al part of.our local recreatianal opportunities including hiking, hu.nting,- snowshoeing, skiing, mountain biking, and motorized dirt bikes.

The transformation occurred just hours after the business owner attended a community accessibility workshop sponsored by the Town of Vail and Vail Associates. A second workshop, with creative and cost-effective tips to improve access and service for individuals with disabilities, will be presented from 1 to 4 p.m. Aug. 23 in the Council Chambers. After learning about easy and non-intimidating ways to increase access at a minimal cost, owner Gary Boris says he left the first training, on Aug. 7, with a list of immediate and low-cost improvements. Those changes included making use of an accessible door that had not been used previously and installation of an ADA -(Americans with Disabilities Act) appropriate "D" ring door opener, which Boris installed himself. He then rearranged his.seating to allow room for a wheelchair to enter and pass through unobstructed. He says the new arrangement actually gives him more seating capacity near the windows for a// his ~ (more) RECYCLEDPAPER 1 ADA Improvements/Add.1 guests. Next, Boris placed the blue and white internationally-recognized accessibility signs on his door. One day later, a new patron arrived in a wheelchair. Proof positive, he says, that accessibility makes good business sense. Within the same day, Boris decided he could modify his restrooms without much hassle. He has already ordered ADA-appropriate lever style faucets and will make the necessary changes to create an accessible stall. Grab bars will be installed, as well. Total cost for accessibility at Montauk Seafood Grill? Less than $500 in hardware, he says. Michelle Caster, the Town of Vail's ADA coordinator, says Boris has not only complied with the ADA guidelines, but has increased his potential guest base. "We're pleased Gary reacted to the training so quickly and independently," she said. "If we can provide some of the basic technical assistance, plus some encouragement, we're " hoping there will be other business owners who recognize the tremendous value of this effort." - During the past year, the Town of Vail and Vail Associates have been actively working to address the need for improved accessibility. The partnership has resulted in new signs, an "Accessing Vail" brochure and improved.accessibility in the parking structures. The two entities now wish to expand the partnership to other business participants, like Montauk Seafood Grill, for even greater impact in accessibility improvements throughout the resort community.

In future weeks, Dewire said he plans to focus on two goals: 1) escalate discussions between WTCB and Vail Associates to merge the . 1-800 reservation systems; and 2) move forward with a discussion on long range funding options for the iViarketing Board. Also yesterday, Ross Boyle, chairman of the volunteer Marketing Board, gave a performance update on the marketing program. The investor report showed: summer sales tax gains have out paced winter in four of the last five years; summer lodging occupancy rates have risen from 45 percent in 1991 to 50 percent in 1994; and in 1994 there was a$26.90 return for every Town of Vail dollar . invested for summer marketing. The Town of Vail has provided 65 percent of the Niarketing Board's $846,000 budget this year. Boyle said the current "piece-meal funding" of the program can't continue much longer without a permanent, long-term funding solution. Council members reacted favorably to a plan by Dewire to meet with ' . representatives from Vail, Avon, Vail Associates, Beaver Creek Resort Company and Eagle County to begin discussing a long-term funding approach. --Community Development Budget Session In preparation for 1996 budget discussions, the Council toured the Community Development facilities and heard a presentation from department representatives. The department's work plan for 1996 will include efforts to become more efFicient and user- friendly, according to Director Susan Connelly. A proposed reorganization of the department will provide increased technical assistance at the front counter for members of the public requesting building permits and other services. In some cases, Connelly said, permits for minor projects will be able to be turned around to customers within 30 minutes. Other improvements may include extended service hours for customers and an overhaul of the town's design review guidelines. Other priority-based modifications in store for 1996 include shifting a senior planner position to a housing administrator (more) RBCYCLED PAPER i ~ Council Highlights/Add 1 position; focusing on community engagement programs; improving the development review process; long range planning programs; and finding a new home for administration of the Art in Public Places Program.

The town will begin taking applications for those interested in filling the Council-appointed term. Jan Strauch volunteered to take former Councilman Jim Shearer's place on the board of the Vail Valley Arts Council. Town Manager Bob McLaurin announced the Pulis/Golf Course bridge project would not be reconstructed this fall because there were no bidders for the work. The project wilf be re-bid in the spring. The Council authorized McLaurin to negotiate a contract for the reconstruction of , Seibert Circle. This project was designated as a high priority item in the streetscape . . master plan. Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer gave an update on the Matterhorn clean-up status. The report included: work by the town attorney and Police Department in examining the town's code on abandoned vehicles, towing vehicles and storing garbage and junk both on private property and in the public right-of-way; an education campaign by the town's environmental health officer on garbage and refuse management which has been mailed to property owners on Geneva Drive; and a proposal to spend an estimated $500 out of the Town Council contingency fund to provide a Matterhorn-only clean-up day similar to the town-wide clean-up day program. The Council agreed to allocate the $500 for a neighborhood clean-up.

Arosa Dr. Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mr. Stcphens, The Town certainly shares your concerns with maintaining open space and recreational trails in the Vail area. The Town is making significant progress in the implementation of the Town of Vai1 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. The Town has already acquired more than 120 acres of open space in the last year and we are working with tbe U.S. Forest Service to improve and/or create approximately 17 miles of recrcational trails in the Vail area. The sign you mentioncd in your letter, we believe, was placed on Davos Trail last year when Mr. Lindholm or thc Piney Valley Trust was asking for tlle Town of Vail's opinion on a land exchange he was proposing with the Fedcral Government. Last year, the Vail Town Council chose not to support this exchange which involved numerous parcels around the State of Colorado. The Lindholm area or Piney Valley Trust land which is located west of Vail and north of I-70 is not in the Town of Vail boundary. 7'he Piney Valley Trust is currently working with the Town of Avon to annex this area into the Town and develop a master plan for the site. We would encourage you to contact the Town of Avon Community Development Department at 949-4280 to express your concems. Thank you for your interest in open space and trails. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Sinc rely, Russcll Fonest Senior Environmental Policy Planner X.C.

This was an exhilarating ride and as I descended I came upon a sign stating that the land I was about to cross was private land, which was under consideration for a land exchange as , mentioned above. This sign recommended that I contact you if I was in support of the land exchange to allow for the continued access to the back country that I was currently enjoying. That is why I am writing this letter. I would like to see this area continued to be nondeveloped and available for public use. I would hope thiswould include other shoulder areas around the Vail area including the Nottingham Ridge area just west af the radio towers. The quality of life in Vail revolves a great deal around its recreational opportunities and trails such as the Davos Trail are an int0c-al part of our local recreational oppartunities including hiking, hunting, snowshoeing, skiing, mountain biking, and motorized dirt bikes. Thank you for your time and attention on this matter.

In reply, please refer to this Public iVotice To WHom[ IT MAx coNCERrt: On July 27, 1995, the Corps of Engineers published a new nationwide permit (NWP) for the development of single-family homes and attendant features in the Federal Register ( FR This NWP will not be effective until September 26, 1995. This NWP authorizes the discharge of dredged or fill material into non-tidal waters of the United States, including non-tidal wetlands, for the construction or expansion of a single-family home and attendant features (such as a garage, driveway, storage shed, and/or septic field) for an individual permittee. The detailed terms and conditions of this NWP are attached to this Public Notice. In general, the loss of waters of the United States is limited to no more than %z acre, practicable actions must be taken to avoid or minimize on-site and off-site impacts, the home must be for a personal residence, can only be used once per parcel, and can not be used with NWP 14, NWP 18, or NWP 26. Furthermore, this NWP will require prior notification to the Corps. This notification is required to ensure that activities authorized by this nationwide permit have no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse impacu on the aquatic environment. Nationwide permits are general permits issued on a nationwide basis to authorize, with little or no paperwork, minor activities with minimal impact on the aquatic environment. Many landowners will . no longer have to go through the more lengthy individual permit process which typically takes more than 120 days. Under this NWP, landowners will receive a decision in 30 days or less. A state Section 401 water quality certification or waiver is required for this NWP because it authorizes the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands. The state agency is reviewing this NWP for 401 water quality certification and will reach a decision to issue or deny or require additional conditions by the effective date. In addition to this NWP, the Cocps published in the Federal Register on July 19, 1995, for public comment a new process that, for the first time, will provide landowners the opportunity to appeal a Corps jurisdiction determination or permit denial decision. When finalized, individuals dissatisfied with such decisions will have an administrative review process to address their concerns rather than only having the option to challenge the Corps in court, which can be e:cpensive and time consuming. CESPK-CO-R Public Notice Single-Family Housing Nationwide Permit APPLYING FOR NWP VERIFICATION To obtain authorization under this single-family housing NWP, a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) must be submitted to the appropriate Corps district office containing certain required informarion. This information is detailed in general condition number 13, "Notification for single-family housing NWP, " and is enclosed in this public notice along with the tenms and conditions of the NWP. To begin the permit evaluation process, the PCN should be submitted to District's address. An applicant may submit the required information using the standard individual permit application form (Form ENG 4345) or a joint State/Corps application form (if applicable) but must clearly indicate that the form is a PCN for this NWP. Corps districts will provide a response within 30 days from the date of receipt of the PCN informing the permittee whether or not the proposed project is authorized by the NWP. If 30 days pass from the date of receipt of the PCN by the appropriate Corps district office and notification from the Corps District has not been received, the permittee may proceed with his or her project without further authorization from the Corps. FURTHER INFORMATTON (1) District Engineers have authority to determine if an activity complies with the terms and conditions of an NWP. (2) NWPs do not obviate the need to obtain other Federal, state, or local permits, approvals, or authorizations required by law. (3) NWPs do not grant any property rights or excIusive privileges. (4) NWPs do not authorize any injury to the property or rights of others. (5) NWPs do not authorize interference with any existing or proposed Federal project. QUESTTONS? , Questions concerning the suitabiIity of this NWP to a specific activity, notification requiremenu, or _ any additional questions regarding this NWP may be directed to U.S Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District, Regulatory Branch, 1325 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95814-2922 or telephone (916) 557-5250.

GEfil9ERAL BAC9~GROURlD Colorado Economv. The state's economy seems to be slowing, after experiencing the strongest two-year period of grovvth in 15 years during 1993 and 1994. Net job creation totaled nearly 153,000 and new migrants to .the state numbered 132,700. In 1994, the sfiate ranked eighth in job growth among the states. Income growth was eveaker last year, up 6.6% after a 7.5% gain in 1993. The weaker growth in 1994 was the result of a 42% drop in farm income due to sagging beef prices. Colorado ranked.24th nationally in income growth in 1994, despite posting strong job gains. Population growth is expected to grow 2% this year, 1.8% in 1996, ' and 1.4% in 1997. 0 State Budget. The state general fiund remains in good financial shape due to increases in sales tax and personal and corporate income receipts accruing to state coffers. /P. i The legislature projects the FV 1994-1995 year-end reserve to be nearly $443 million, • well in excess of the legally required 4% reserve of $145 million: In FY 1995-1996, the reserve is expected to be $220 million, relative to what is required at $154 million. It's down in FY 1995-1996 because of expenditures enacted this year for highway construction, police and fire pensions, and prison construction. FY 1994-1995 general fund revenues are projected to be 5.5% over the previous fiscal year. Individual income taxes equal slightly over half of all gross general fund revenues. They are advancing nearly 10% for this fiscal year, and will level out to a 7% growth rate in the next few years. Sales taxes consist of nearly 30% of the state's revenue stream, and they grew nearly 12% for the fiscal year just ended. Policy Issues. There are at least two emerging state fiscal policy issues facing lawmakers looking at the large state budget surplus. • With increasing reserves in the state general fund, this could generate pressure upon legislators to consider a major state tax refund next session, an election year, or to appropriate additional money for significant capital expenditures, like state and local highways, or maybe do a combination of both approaches. • Efforts in Congress to develop federal block grant legislation this year could have major implications for the state budget, as well as any major changes in federal tax law, to which the state income tax code is coupled. For example, if Congress caps the growth of nlledicaid this could have major budget implications for Colorado. SEVERANCE TAX EMPLOYEE DISTRIBl1TiON Distribution and Use. Later this month, a portion of the state's severance tax revenues will be returned to municipalities and counties based upon the residence of employees connected with oil and gas, metallic minerals, and coal production and development activity [39-29-110(1)(c)(d), C.R.S.] The state Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) makes the distribution. iVloney received by municipalities and counties can be used for both capital and general operating expenses [39-29=110(1)(e), C.R.S.] and no report must be filed with the state on how such revenue is expended. Trends. Over the past decade, $1 million to $2 million has been distributed annually by the state on average to around half of the cities and towns, and over half of the counties in the state. In 1994, 131 municipalities and 35 counties received nearly $875,000, or 45% lower than the 1993 distribution because of a major taxpayer . refund. Here is a break-out of how much revenue per employee has been generated the last six years: • 2 1880 1991 1892 1993 1994 1986 ` IJ $ ~I $ ~J S # $ ~J S # S Oil & Gea 1,316 481 1,167 1,012 1,148 878 1,024 886 1,066 481 1,077 702 Coal 2,364 171 2,276 210 2,427 748 1,870 292 1,883 188 2,308 244 Metollic Minerolu 1,032 42 1,022 38 1,093 27 892 27 829 20 886 26 The 1995 dastrubanaoon wuVV be around $1.3 mu99uon, up 35% $rom 1994. Distribution checks should be mailed vvithin fihe next several weeks. 1996 Budget. At least three major variables influence the amount of revenue accruing to a particular city or town: fihe reported production level which determines the severance tax revenue available for distribution; the continued refinement in dififerentiating between administrative and production vvorkers in employer report forms which energy companies file with the state; and, the actual residence (municipality or unincorporated county) of the employee. Because these factors can change significantly on an annual basis, vve continue to advise officials to exercise budgetary caution with severance tax direct distribution payments. For example, if your municipality has experienced a major energy company lay-off during the past year, then this could have a signifiicant effect upon your direct distribution revenues. Though not required, vve advise budgeting this revenue as a separate line item. Doing this will provide you.with an effective vvay to track fihis revenue on a yearly basis. Municipal officials are encouraged to work with affected companies, neighboring municipalities, and your county in helping energy companies complete the employee report forms. The forms must be filed with the state Fievenue Department nexfi spring for credit to the August, 1996 distribution to counties and municipalities. 1'he League stafif contact on this issue is Sam Mamet. The DOLA contact is Bill Verbeten at 303-866-3573. Energy Impact Assistance Fund. This grant and loan program assists local governments socially or economically impacted by the development and processing ofi minerals and mineral fuels [34-63-102(5)(b)111(11) and 39-29-110, C.Fi.S.]. The program receives a portion of the state's severarice tax and a portion of fiederal mineral lease revenue. Competition is alvvays very intense. Municipalities are advised to work with appropriate DOLA field representatives around the state. Further infiormation on the program can be secured by contacting Bill Timmermeyer at DOLA at 303-866-2771, your own Council of Governments staff, DOLA field reps, or Sam iViamet at the League. MlR9ERAL LEASE Background. The federal fViineral Leasing Act of 1920 provides that half of the revenues resulting firom fiederal mineral leasing activity vvithin a state are to be returned to that state. In 1994, 38 states, including Colorado, received nearly $538 3 million. Colorado received 7% of the total revenue, $36.8 million, and ranks third behind Wyoming and New Mexico. Trends. In 1994, nearly $1 million was distributed to cities and towns. State law directs any county receiving over $250,000 in mineral lease funds to share at least 37.5% of such revenues with its municipalities [34-63-102(3)(c), C.R.S.I. This is known as the second-tier payment schedule. While counties are not legally required to share any revenue below $250,000 with their municipalities, nothing in state law prohibits such sharing. Each county area total for the county, its school districts and municipalities is limited to a maximum of $800,000 per year in the second-tier distribution mechanism. The municipal distributien of second-tier payments in each county is done according to the percentage each municipality's population in the county bears to the population of all cities and towns in the county. The most current lottery population estimates are utilized for the calculation. The population calculation and revenue distribution is done directly by and through the State Treasurer's Office with the assistance of DOLA. Counties have no involvement in these calculations or in the actual distribution of funds. By state law, the State Treasurer may not distribute funds to any affected county or its municipalities until the State Treasurer receives a notification from the county as to the municipal distribution percentage it has established. It is important for potentially affected municipalities to remind their county officials of this notification requirement [34-63-102(3)(c), C.R.S.I. The state statute does not restrict a county from sharing with its municipalities an amount greater than 37.5 percent. Remind your county officials of this fact. The League suggests that you work with officials from other cities and towns in your county on the percentage allocation question, and then approach your county commissioners on this matter as a group of municipalities if you desire a higher percentage. Once the municipal percentage is set, it won't be changed unless the county requests a change to the State Treasurer. If your county does make a change during the year, make sure the State Treasurer's Office is notified promptly. Anticipate receiving your 1995 municipal receipts by early 1996. We do not yet know what the figure will be. 1996 Budget. For affected municipalities we advise either of the following budgeting approaches for second-tier payments: • Do not budget any mineral lease revenues in your 1996 budget now being prepared. Instead, treat any mineral lease revenue you may receive as a supplemental budget item. OR, • If your municipality received less than $50,000 in mineral lease revenue during the past year, budget no receipts for the 1996 budget; if your municipality received more than $50,000, cut your total in half and budget this amount in your 1995 budget. Either of these approaches should provide a cushion to deal with this revenue source. Certain counties and their municipalities may also receive an additional amount of mineral lease revenue early next year because of extensive mineral leasing activity taking place within the county [see 34-63-102(3)(b) (II1), C.R.S.I. These are known 4 as third-tier payments. Under such circumstances, this extra revenue will be distributed back on an employee residence basis for those employees connected with Such mineral leasing operations. In 1994, this totaled $355,251 to four municipalities: Craig, Dinosaur, iVieeker, and Rangely. Use. The statute directs that money received by cities and towns shall be used °°for planning, construction and maintenance of public facilities and for public serv9ces.°° There is no requirement that a report be filed with the state regarding the use of these funds. Though not required, we advise this revenue be accounted as a separate line item within the budget. The line item could be called °°unanticipated revenue--mineral lease°° or simply °°mineral lease revenue.°° We suggest this as an effective means for keeping track of this revenue on a yeariy basis. State contacts on mineral lease questions is Bill Verbeten at DOLA, 303-866-3573, and Sam fViamet at the League. ~OTTERY Municipal Distribution. Municipal lottery proceeds as based upon the most current population estimates prepared by the state Division of Local Government. If a municipalifiy overlaps vvith a special district which gets lottery funds, the municipal distribution reflects a sharing of these proceeds with the district. This sharing allocation is done automatically by DOLA. Use. T'he Conservation Trust Fund statute (29-21-101, C.R.S.) governs how a municipality can expend lottery proceeds. The money can only be used for the acquisition, development, and maintenance of '°new conservation sites'° (which is defined in the statute), or for capital improvements to or maintenance of recreational purposes on any public site. Lotfiery funds must be accounted for separately and cannot be used to acquire property through condemnation. The statute does allow for intergovernmental contracting in expending lottery funds. This cooperation extends to the joint acquisition, development, and maintenance of new conservation sites. The state Division of Local Government will be sending a status report form out later this year to indicate hovv much lottery money a city or town has received and expended, with a recertification fiorm to fill out in order for a municipality to contiriue in the program. A prompt response is always appreciated both by the Division and the League. Bf these forms are not completed, a municipality becomes ineligible to receive future lottery funds.

Since its 1983 start, $222.2 million has been distributed in net lottery proceeds to local governments through the Conservation Trust Fund. Here's a summary of hovv the distribution has occurred over the past twelve fiscal years: 5 J FY Conservation Trnst Fund Capital ConsUvction\GOCO State Parks 1983 $16.7 million $ 20.8 million $ 4.2 million , 1984 $16.6 $ 20.7 $ 4.1 1985 $12.8 $ 16.0 $ 3.2 . 1986 $11J - $ 14.6 $ 2.9 1987 $14.0 S 17.5 $ 3.5 1988 $13.2 $ 16.5 $ 3.3 1989 $7.4 $9.3 $ 1.9 1990 $11.5 $26.4 $2.9 1991 $16.2 $38.7 $4.0 1992 $23.2 $47.0 $5.8 1993 $21.9 $35.2 $5.5 1994 $22.7 $45.7 $5.7 1995 $34.3 $57.7 $8.5 TOTAL $222•2 million $366.1 million $55.5 million GRAIVD TOTAL BETWEEN FY 1983 AND 1995: $644 million (57% to Capital Construction\GOCO, 35% to Conservation Trust Fund, 9% to State Parks) In calendar year 1996, we anticipate $26.6 mitlion being distributed through the Conservation Trust Fund to eligible local governments (or $7.19 per capita), and for calendar year 1997 we anticipate $26.6 anillion to be the amount (or $7.19 per capita). This is based upon an estimated 1994 state population of 3.7 million. Here are the most recent quarterly distribution estimates for local governments in 1994, 1995, and 1996: September 1, 1995 $10.2 million December 1, 1995 $7.5 million March 1, 1996 E4.1 million June 1, 1996 $7.5 million September 1, 1996 $7.5 million December 1, 1996 $7.5 million Maroh 1, 1997 $4.1 million June 1, 1997 $7.5 million September 1, 1997 $7.5 million December 1, 1997 $7.5 million State Trails Proaram.

CIGAf~ETTE TA% Distribution. Since 1973, Colorado has levied a state-collected, locally shared cigarette tax vvith a portion of the proceeds distributed to municipalities and counties wrhich do not levy a local cigarette tax. Currently, no local cigarette tax is levied by any county or municipality in the state. fViunicipalities and counties receive 27% ofi the proceeds from the current 20 cents per pack tax. Each municipality and county receives a percentage share of state-collected cigarette taxes based on the amount ofi state sales tax revenues collected by the state Department of Revenue in the local jurisdiction as compared to the total state sales tax collections that are allocated to all political subdivisions. Counties receive credit for unincorporated area sales tax collections. This percentage is certified at least annually and is based on the previous 12-month total sales tax collection figure for each jurisdiction. The state must pay local governments by the 15th of each month. Projections. The local government shareback for the next four years is anticipated to be between be betvveen $16 and $17 million. Municipalities are always advised to budget this revenue source very conservatively. Your share may fluctuate from year- to-year depending upon any increase or decrease in the percentage of state sales collection activity dvithin your city or town. The change in relative shares of distributed cigarette tax revenue is normally anticipated with the September payments made by the state. For fiurther information, contact the Office of Tax Analysis of the state Revenue Department at 303-866-3089, or Sam Mamet at the League Office.
