The Honorable Mayor and Fraser Board of Trustees
Town of Fraser
P.O. Box 120
Fraser, Colorado 80442
We have audited the financial statements of the Town of Fraser for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit.
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by the Town of Fraser are described in the Notes to the financial statements. No
new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the
year. We noted no transactions entered into during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative
guidance or consensus. There are no significant transactions that have been recognized in the financial
statements in a different period than when the transaction occurred.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions
about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance
to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were:
Estimated useful lives for depreciation on fixed assets: Management’s estimate of useful lives is
based on industry practice and experience. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used
to develop the useful lives used in determining depreciation and found that it is reasonable in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable ($0) at December 31, 2022
Management’s estimate is based on their experience with utility customers and developers,
together with actual collections history since year-end. We believe this estimate is reasonable
relative to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our
audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the
audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Management has corrected all such misstatements prior to reporting the Town’s year-end financial report.
Town of Fraser
Page 2
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements (continued)
The following material misstatements were corrected by management prior to issuance of the audited
financial statements:
Adjust General Fund for purchase of Victoria Village.
To accrue sales tax receivable, other taxes receivable and accrue expenses to accounts payable.
To record prior year audit entries and reconcile beginning fund balance.
Capitalize capital asset additions and record depreciation expense.
Adjust Joint Facilities Fund reserve accounts for reserve activities.
To record management fee and insurance allocations to the Joint Facilities Fund.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial
accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be
significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such
disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
As is required in an audit engagement we have requested certain representations from management that
are included in the management representation letter.
New Financial Reporting Standard
Financial reporting standards for the Town are promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (“GASB”), which has issued Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology
Arrangements (“GASB 96”). GASB 96 requires recognition of certain right-to-use subscription assets and
corresponding subscription liabilities. GASB 96 is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15,
2022 so the Town’s financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2023 must reflect
the changes imposed by this new reporting standard.
We will work with you to support implementation of this new standard and the related presentation
considerations over the coming years.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Town Board, management, and others
within the organization and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than those
specified parties.
Sincerely,
McMahan and Associates, L.L.C.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees
Town of Fraser, Colorado
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Town of Fraser (the “Town”), as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the Town’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town as of December 31, 2022, and the respective
changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows 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 Town 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 Town’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 Town’s ability to continue as a
going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees
Town of Fraser
A2
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 Town’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 Town’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
U.S. GAAP require the Management’s Discussion and Analysis in section B, be presented to supplement
the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a
part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to
the required supplementary information in accordance with U.S. GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Required Supplementary Information (continued)
The budgetary comparison information in section E is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by U.S. GAAP. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with U.S. GAAS. In our opinion, the
information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Town’s basic financial statements. The individual fund budgetary comparison information in
section F and the Local Highway Finance Report in section G, are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The individual fund budgetary comparison information and the Local Highway Finance Report are the
responsibility of management and were derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with U.S. GAAS. In our opinion, the
information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
B1
Town of Fraser, Colorado
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
December 31, 2022
As management of the Town of Fraser, Colorado, (“Town”), we offer readers of the Town’s financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Town for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2022.
The Town provides a high level of local government service and availability to the community including
operation of the Town’s water and wastewater systems, a public works department that provides for street
maintenance, snow removal and management, park and open space preservation, public building and
facility management and maintenance. Our planning department provides support for both our
business/economic sectors in addition to community development support, all while maintaining our small
town character in the bigger mountain resort community that we are a part of. The Town currently acts as
the manager of the Upper Fraser Valley Wastewater Treatment Facility –providing both the operational
expertise and financial management of the facility for the three member organizations who share the
plant. In addition,the Town participates in a joint Fraser/Winter Park Police Department and a joint
Winter Park/Fraser/Granby Building Services Department.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Town’s basic financial
statements. The Town’s basic financial statements include three components: 1) government-wide
financial statements; 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report
also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements:The government-wide financial statements are designed to
provide readers with a broad overview of the Town’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector
business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all Town assets, deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported as net position.
Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial
position of the Town is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying
event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues
and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future
fiscal periods (i.e. uncollected revenues such as grants or earned but unused vacation leave.)
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Town that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities). The governmental
activities of the Town include general government, public safety, public works, and culture and recreation.
The business-type activities of the Town include water production, water distribution system operation
and maintenance, and the operation and maintenance of the Town’s wastewater collection system.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages C1 and C2 of this report.
Fund financial statements:A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town, like other state and
local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related
legal requirements. All of the funds of the Town can be divided into two categories: governmental and
proprietary funds.
B2
Governmental funds:Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows
and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end
of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing
requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing
decisions. The expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The fund financial statements for
the governmental funds are shown on pages C3 and C5.
The Town’s Budget includes the following governmental funds:
General Fund (GF), which provides for the general functions and services such as
administration, planning, law enforcement, streets and properties.
Capital Asset Fund (CAF), which is intended to fund long term maintenance of capital assets
(streets, buildings, parks, trails, etc.). The CAF is consolidated with the GF in the financial
statements.
Restricted Revenue Fund (RRF), which is funded by a dedicated sales tax to be used for
transportation,trails, and capital project expenditures.
Debt Service Fund (DSF), which provides for bonded debt service payments.
Conservation Trust Fund (CTF), which is funded by lottery proceeds and provides for open
space and recreational related capital projects.
Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (CERF), which provides for vehicle and heavy
equipment purchases.
The Town adopts an annually appropriated budget for all governmental funds. A budgetary comparison
statement has been provided for the General Fund, Restricted Revenue Fund, Conservation Trust Fund,
Debt Service Fund and Capital Equipment Replacement Fund to demonstrate compliance with the State
budget statutes. These are included in Sections E and F.
Proprietary funds:The Town maintains two proprietary funds commonly known as enterprise funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. The Town uses an enterprise fund to account for its water
operations and one to account for its wastewater operations, which was established on December 31,
2009 by the dissolution of the Fraser Sanitation District.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only
in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for each of the
business-type services provided by the Town.
The Town’s Budget includes the following enterprise funds:
Water Fund (WF), an enterprise fund for the Town’s water utility.
Wastewater Fund (WWF),an enterprise fund for the Town’s wastewater utility.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages C7 through C9 of this report. The
Town also presents a budgetary comparison for its proprietary funds on pages F3 and F4.
Fiduciary fund: As managers of the Upper Fraser Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant (“UFVWWTP”),
the Town operates the Joint Facilities Fund (“JFF”) as a fiduciary fund to account for the operations and
maintenance of the facility along any capital expenditures related to the plant.
JFF Operations and Maintenance (O&M)and the JFF Capital Replacement Reserve (CRR),
both of which provide for operations and capital projects at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The JFF activity is found on pages C10, C11,and F5.
B3
Overview of the Financial Statements (continued)
Notes to the Financial Statements:The Notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The Notes to
the Financial Statements can be found at Section D of this report.
The largest portion of the Town’s assets are reflected in the investment in capital assets (i.e. land, streets,
buildings, improvements, and equipment). Capital assets account for 57%of the total assets of
$55,704,179. The Town uses these assets to provide services to its citizens. The Town has to pay
liabilities out of the remaining liquid assets. The Town also has assets that are considered restricted for a
variety of purposes. Accordingly, these assets are not an available source for payment of future
spending, other than as restricted. The Town shows the detail of restricted net position below on page B4
and also on page D19 of the footnotes.
Government-wide Fund Analysis
Financial Highlights
On a short term view, the Town’s governmental fund balances increased by $2,398,808 in 2022.
The Town’s General Fund’s fund balance increased by $1,522,973.
On a long-term view (including depreciation and excluding capital outlay, etc.) the Town had a
11%$5,323,830 increase in net position from $48,815,212 to $54,139,042.
“Net Position” for the Town refers to both the governmental and business-type (Water Fund
(“WF”) and Wastewater Fund (“WWF”)) activities. The business-type activities (WF & WWF) had
a decrease in net position of $388,062, while the governmental activities had an increase in net
position of $5,711,892.
The “long-term” view includes depreciation expense. The schedule the Town uses to depreciate
its assets is on page D6 and the corresponding schedules for depreciation and additions to
capital assets (capital outlay)is on pages D15 -D16. It’s important to review the depreciation
schedule and compare it to the age of the assets being depreciated. Annual depreciation
expense for streets exceeds $750,000 and there is no designated revenue source or reserves
associated with this asset. Annual depreciation expense on water and wastewater assets
exceeds $800,000,with almost $500,000 of that depreciation relating to underground utilities.
Over half the Town’s underground utilities have exceeded their depreciation life cycle. At
December 31, 2022, the Fraser Town Board has many committed reserves in its General Fund
and both of its Enterprise Funds, along with a reserve for unforeseen Joint Facility emergencies.
These reserves will allow the Town to meet its short term obligations for safe, reliable and
sustainable water and wastewater systems. Available resources will be freed up in the Budget to
address annual street maintenance.The Town continues to allow for additional growth in utilities
and streets, while the issue of the cost of maintenance reflected by service fees and GF revenues
remains a community concern.

Financial Analysis of the Town’s Funds
As mentioned on page B2 of this analysis, the Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal requirements.

Financial Analysis of the Town’s Funds (continued)
Governmental funds: The focus of the Town’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-
term inflows (revenues), outflows (expenditures), and balances of spendable resources. Such
information is useful in assessing the Town’s financing requirements. In particular, fund balance may
serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal
year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the Town’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $12,302,698;the funds increased $2,398,808 from the prior year’s ending balances. The
Town’s governmental fund balances for 2022 and the past two years are graphed as follows:
$-
$2,000,000

Proprietary funds: The Town’s proprietary funds (Water and Wastewater Funds)provide the same type
of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
The proprietary funds’total cash is available for spending at the Town’s discretion. At the end of 2022 the
Town Board reserved multiple amounts and designated them as committed reserves for emergencies in
both our operations and maintenance and also for capital emergencies. Reserves are recognized in-
house and are outlined earlier in this discussion.

Capital assets: The Town’s government-wide capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation,
decreased due largely to depreciation expense. Additional information as well as a detailed classification
of the Town’s net capital assets can be found in the Notes to the Financial Statements on pages D15 -
D17 of this report.

accrued compensated absences. Additional information regarding the Town’s debt can be found on
pages D18 –D19 of this report.

operations. The Town’s sales and use taxes changed from a total of $6,121,528 in 2021 to $6,580,698 in

was $10,052,374. The Town’s 2023 budget anticipates decreasing the General Fund balance by

Net Change in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds 2,398,808
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the
Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures.
However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of those assets is
allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.
This is the amount by which depreciation exceeded capital outlay,
net of capital disposals during the year.3,226,413
Accrued liabilities for employees' sick and vacation are not an
expenditure in the governmental funds, but are increases in long-
term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. This is the amount
that accrued vacation not immediately payable decreased.(5,534)
Repayment of capital lease and bond principal is an expenditure in
the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term
liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. This is the amount of
principal repayments.92,205

I.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Town of Fraser, Colorado (the "Town") is incorporated under Colorado statutes to provide
public safety, streets and street maintenance, water and wastewater service, recreation including
parks and trails, transportation, special events, planning and zoning, and general administrative
services. The Town is located in Grand County and operates under a Council-Manager form of
government.
An elected Mayor and Town Board are responsible for setting policy, appointing administrative
personnel and adopting an annual budget in accordance with state statutes. The Town’s major
operations include road maintenance, water and wastewater service, public safety and culture
and recreation.
The Town’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 and used by the
Town are discussed below.
A.Reporting Entity
The reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government; i.e., the Town, and (b)
organizations for which the Town is financially accountable. The Town 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 Town. Consideration is also
given to other organizations that are fiscally dependent; i.e., unable to adopt a budget,
levy taxes, or issue debt without approval by the Town. Organizations for which the
nature and significance of their relationship with the Town 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 upon the above criteria, the Town is not financially accountable for any other
organization, nor is the Town a component unit of any other primary governmental entity.
B.Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The Town’s basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting the Town
as a whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the Town’s major funds).
Government-wide financial statements report on information of all of the activities of the
Town. Both the government-wide and fund financial statements categorize primary
activities as either governmental or business-type. The Town’s public safety, public
works, culture and recreation, and administration functions are classified as
governmental activities. The Water Fund and Wastewater Fund are classified as
business-type activities.
In the government-wide Statement of Net Position, the governmental activities columns
are reported on a full accrual, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term
assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. The Town’s net
position are reported in three parts –Net investment in capital assets; Restricted net
position; and Unrestricted net position.
Town of Fraser

I.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
B.Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements (continued)
The government-wide Statement of Activities reports both the gross and net cost of each
of the Town’s governmental functions and business-type activities. The governmental
functions are also supported by general government revenues (sales taxes, property and
specific ownership taxes, investment earnings, etc.). The Statement of Activities reduces
gross expenses (including depreciation) by related program revenues, operating and
capital grants. Program revenues must be directly associated with the governmental
function or a business-type activity. Operating grants include operating-specific and
discretionary (either operating or capital) grants while the capital grants column reflects
capital-specific grants.The government-wide focus is on the sustainability of the Town as
an entity and the change in the Town’s net position resulting from the current year’s
activities.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
Measurement focus refers to whether financial statements measure changes in current
resources only (current financial focus) or changes in both current and long-term
resources (long-term economic focus). Basis of accounting refers to the point at which
revenues, expenditures, or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the
financial statements. Financial statement presentation refers to classification of revenues
by source and expenses by function.
1.Long-term Economic Focus and Accrual Basis
Both governmental and business-type activities in the government-wide financial
statements and the proprietary fund financial statements use the long-term
economic focus and are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when
incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows.
2.Current Financial Focus and Modified Accrual Basis
The governmental fund financial statements use the current financial focus and
are presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual;
i.e., both measurable and available. “Available” means collectible within the
current period or soon enough thereafter (60 days) to be used to pay liabilities of
the current period. Expenditures are generally recognized when the related
liability is incurred. The exception to this general rule is that principal and interest
on general long-term debt and compensated absences are recorded only when
payment is due.
Franchise fees, licenses and interest associated with current fiscal period are all
considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenue
of the current fiscal period. Sales and excise taxes collected by vendors at year
end on behalf of the Town are also recognized as revenue if collected within 30
days after year end. Expenditure driven grants are recognized as revenue when
qualified expenditures have been incurred and all other grant requirements have
been met. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and
available only when cash is received by the Town.

(continued)
3.Financial Statement Presentation
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the
government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are
payments where the amounts are reasonably equivalent to the value of the
interfund services provided and other charges between the functions of the
Town. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program
revenues reported for the water and wastewater functions.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers and
applicants for goods, services or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and
contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special
assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues
rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-
operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from
providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a
proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues
of the Town’s enterprise funds are the operation of the water and wastewater
systems within the Town. Operating expenses for the enterprise funds includes
operating expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and
expenses.
D.Fund Financial Statements
The financial transactions of the Town are reported in individual funds in the fund
financial statements. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-
balancing accounts that comprises its assets, liabilities, reserves, fund equity, revenues
and expenditures/expenses. The fund focus is on current available resources and
budget compliance.
The Town reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund
The General Fund is the Town’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all
financial resources of the Town, except those required to be accounted for in
another fund.
Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific
revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes
other than debt service or capital projects. The term “proceeds of specific revenue
sources” establishes that one or more specific restricted or committed revenues should
be the foundation for a special revenue fund.
The Conservation Trust Fund accounts for lottery proceeds required to be
expended solely on park and recreation improvements.
The Restricted Revenue Fund accounts for a dedicated sales tax to be used for
transportation,trails, and capital project expenditures.

D.Fund Financial Statements (continued)
Capital Projects Funds
Capital projects funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are
restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the
acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. Capital projects
funds exclude those types of capital-related outflows financed by proprietary funds or for
assets that will be held in trust for individuals, private organizations, or other
governments.
The Capital Equipment Replacement Fund accounts for funds set aside for the
purchase and replacement of capital equipment. A significant portion of
revenues consists of highway user tax proceeds.
Debt Service Funds
Debt service funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are
restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditures of principal and interest. Debt service
funds should be used to report resources if legally mandated. Financial resources that
are being accumulated for principal and interest maturing in future years also should be
reported in debt service funds.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for payments made on the Town’s bonded debt
obligations.
The Town reports the following proprietary or business-type funds:
The Water Fund accounts for the purchase and delivery of water to the citizens
of the Town. The Water Fund also maintains the infrastructure needed to
provide water service.
The Wastewater Fund accounts for the treatment of wastewater from the citizens
of the Town. The Wastewater Fund also maintains the infrastructure needed to
provide wastewater service.
The Town reports the following fiduciary fund:
The Joint Facilities (“JF”) Operations and Maintenance Fund accounts for the
operations of the Upper Fraser Valley Wastewater Treatment Joint Facilities.
E.Financial Statement Accounts
1.Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Town pools deposits and investments of all funds except JF Operations and
Maintenance Fund, which are held in separate accounts. Each fund’s share of
the pool is readily identified by the Town’s internal records. Investments are
stated at market value.
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits, certificates of deposit, local
government investment pools (COLOTRUST), and U.S. government-backed
securities.

1.Cash and Cash Equivalents (continued)
Certain proceeds of debt issues, as well as certain resources set aside for their
repayment, have been classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet
because their use is limited by the applicable covenants. Restricted assets also
include certain deposits that have been limited as to usage pursuant to escrow
and similar agreements.
The Town’s investment policy permits investments in the following type of
obligations which corresponds with state statutes:
U.S. Treasury Obligations (maximum maturity of 60 months)
Federal Instrumentality Securities (maximum maturity of 60 months)
FDIC-insured Certificates of Deposit (maximum maturity of 18 months)
Corporate Bonds (maximum maturity of 36 months)
Prime Commercial Paper (maximum maturity of 9 months)
Eligible Bankers Acceptances
Repurchase Agreements
General Obligations and Revenue Obligations
Local Government Investment Pools
Money Market Mutual Funds
2.Receivables
Receivables are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts.
3.Long-term Notes Receivable
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term notes receivables are
reported as an asset. In the fund financial statements, the face amount is
reported as a general government expense.
4.Property Taxes
Property taxes are assessed in one year as a lien on the property, but not
collected by the governmental units until the subsequent year. In accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, the assessed but uncollected
property taxes have been recorded as a receivable and as deferred inflow of
resources.

5.Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, buildings, equipment, vehicles, and
infrastructure assets (only infrastructure acquired after January 1, 2002), are
reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activity columns in the
government-wide financial statements. The Town defines capital assets as
assets with an initial cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life in
excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost. Donated
capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
Capital outlay for projects is capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest
incurred during the construction phase is expensed as incurred.
Infrastructure, buildings, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line
method over the following estimated useful lives:
Asse ts Ye ars
Infrastruc ture 15 - 30
Buildings and improvements 15 - 40
Di stribution systems 40
Equi pment and ve hicles 7
6.Compensated Absences
Vested or accumulated vacation leave that is expected to be liquidated with
expendable available financial resources is reported as an expenditure and a
fund liability of the obligated governmental fund. Amounts of vested or
accumulated vacation leave that are not expected to be liquidated with
expendable available financial resources are reported in the governmental
activities column in the government-wide financial statements. Vested or
accumulated vacation leave of the proprietary fund type is recorded as an
expense and liability of that fund as the benefits accrue to employees. In
accordance with the provisions of GASB No. 16, Accounting for Compensated
Absences,no liability is recorded for non-vesting accumulating rights to receive
sick pay benefits.
7.Restricted Assets
Fees collected in lieu of park and open space and affordable housing impact fees
are restricted as to their use by Town ordinances.

8.Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial
statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of
net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an
outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The Town does not have
any deferred outflows of resources at December 31, 2022.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report 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(s) and so will not be recognized as an
inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Town has two types of items
that qualify for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the deferred inflow,
property taxes and other revenues,are deferred and recognized as an inflow of
resources in the period that the amounts become available.
9.Categories and Classification of Fund Balance
Governmental accounting standards establishes fund balance classifications that
comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which a government is
bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of the resources reported in
governmental funds. Fund balance classifications, include Non-spendable,
Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. These classifications reflect
not only the nature of funds, but also provide clarity to the level of restriction
placed upon fund balance. Fund Balance can have different levels of restraint,
such as external versus internal compliance requirements. Unassigned fund
balance is a residual classification within the general fund. The general fund
should be the only fund that reports a positive unassigned balance. In all other
funds, unassigned is limited to negative residual fund balance.
The Town of Fraser classifies governmental fund balances as follows:
Non-spendable -includes fund balance amounts that cannot be spent either
because it is not in spendable form or because of legal or contractual
requirements.
Spendable:
Restricted –includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific
purposes which are externally imposed by providers, such as creditors or
amounts constrained due to constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed –includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for
specific purposes that are internally imposed by the government through
formal action of the highest level of decision making authority which is the
Town Board.
Assigned –includes spendable fund balance amounts that are intended to
be used for specific purposes that are neither considered restricted or
committed. Fund Balance may be assigned by the Town or its management
designee.

I.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
E.Financial Statement Accounts (continued)
9.Categories and Classification of Fund Balance (continued)
Unassigned -includes residual positive fund balance within the General
Fund which has not been classified within the other above mentioned
categories. Unassigned fund balance may also include negative balances
for any governmental fund if expenditures exceed amounts restricted,
committed, or assigned for those specific purposes.
The Town may use restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and
unrestricted fund balance is available unless there are legal documents/contracts
that prohibit doing this, such as in grant agreements requiring dollar for dollar
spending. Additionally, the Town might first use committed, then assigned, and
lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund balance when expenditures are
made.
10.Interfund Transactions
Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues,
expenditures, or expenses. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a
fund for expenditures or expenses initially made from it that are properly
applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures or expenses in the
reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures or expenses in the fund that
is reimbursed.
11. Deposits
Deposits on the JF Operations and Maintenance Fund represent contributions
made to the JF Operations and Maintenance Fund by Winter Park Ranch Water
and Sanitation District (“Winter Park Ranch”) and Grand County Water and
Sanitation District #1 (“Grand County #1”) and the Town (previously the Fraser
Sanitation District)for operating and replacement costs relating to the combined
wastewater treatment plant. These deposits are held for working capital and
replacement costs during the time all members remain joint operators of the
plant.
F.Significant Accounting Policies
1.Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the
Town’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and
expenditures or expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
2.Proprietary Funds
As required by GASB Statement No. 62, the Town has elected to follow all GASB
pronouncements for its proprietary funds.

3.Credit Risk
Receivables in the Town’s funds are primarily due from other governments.
Management believes that the credit risk related to these receivables is minimal.
4.Restricted and Unrestricted Resources
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the
government’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources
as they are needed.
II.Reconciliation of Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
A.Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund Balance Sheet
and the government-wide Statement of Net Position
The governmental fund Balance Sheet includes reconciliation between fund balance -
total governmental funds and net position of governmental activities as reported in the
government-wide Statement of Net Position. One element of that reconciliation explains
that “Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and,
therefore, are not reported in the funds.” The $13,165,758 adjustment represents the net
book value of capital assets of $27,588,084 and accumulated depreciation of
$14,422,325 at December 31, 2022.
Another element of the reconciliation states that "Long-term liabilities are not due and
payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported in the funds.” The $27,311
reconciling item represents obligation related to accrued compensated absences and
capital leases at year end.
B.Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances and the government-wide
Statement of Activities
The governmental fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund
Balances includes reconciliation between net change in fund balances of governmental
funds and changes in net position of governmental activities as reported in the
government-wide Statement of Activities. One element of that reconciliation explains that
governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures, but in the Statement of
Activities, the costs of those assets are allocated over their estimated useful lives as
depreciation expense. The details of this reconciling amount are capital outlay of
$4,257,276,less depreciation expense of $1,030,863, less the disposal of capital assets
of $0 during 2022.
Another element of that reconciliation is $5,534 which represents increase in accrued
compensated absences.The final reconciling item is $92,205 which represents payment
related to financed purchase obligations.

III.Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
A.Budgetary Information
1.Budgetary Basis of Accounting
The preparation Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally
accepted accounting principles, except for the proprietary funds. Annual
appropriations are adopted for all funds. Expenditures may not legally exceed
appropriations at the fund level. All appropriations lapse at year end.
As required by Colorado Statutes, the Town followed the required timetable
noted below in preparing, approving, and enacting its budget for 2022.
(1)For the 2022 budget year, prior to August 25, 2021, the County Assessor
sent to the Town an assessed valuation of all taxable property within the
Town’s boundaries.
(2)The Town Manager, or other qualified person appointed by the Board,
submitted to the Board, on or before October 15, 2021, a recommended
budget which detailed the necessary property taxes needed along with
other available revenues to meet the Town’s operating requirements.
(3)Prior to December 15, 2021, a public hearing was held for the budget,
the Board certified to the County Commissioners a levy rate that derived
the necessary property taxes as computed in the proposed budget, and
the Board adopted the proposed budget and an appropriating resolution
that legally appropriated expenditures for the upcoming year.
(4)After adoption of the budget resolution, the Town may make the following
changes: a) it may transfer appropriated money between funds; b)
approve supplemental appropriations to the extent of revenues in excess
of estimated revenues in the budget; c) approve emergency
appropriations; and d) reduce appropriations for which originally
estimated revenues are insufficient.
Taxes levied in one year are collected in the succeeding year. Thus, taxes
certified in 2021 were collected in 2022 and taxes certified in 2022 will be
collected in 2023. Taxes are due on January 1st in the year of collection;
however, they may be paid in either one installment (no later than April 30th) or
two equal installments (not later than February 28th and June 15th) without
interest or penalty. Taxes that are not paid within the prescribed time bear
interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month until paid. Unpaid amounts
and the accrued interest thereon become delinquent on June 16th.

III.Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability (continued)
B.TABOR Amendment
In November 1992, Colorado voters amended Article X of the Colorado Constitution by
adding Section 20, commonly known as the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (“TABOR). TABOR
contains revenue, spending, tax and debt limitations that 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.
TABOR also requires local governments to establish an emergency reserve to be used
for declared emergencies only. The reserve is calculated at 3% of fiscal year spending.
Fiscal year spending excludes bonded debt service and enterprise spending. The Town
has reserved $353,000.
On April 4, 2000, the Town’s electorate approved the following: Without any increase in
the property tax mill levy or the 4% sales and use tax rate, shall the Town of Fraser,
Colorado, be authorized, in the year 2000 and each subsequent year thereafter, to
collect, retain, and expend the full proceeds of the Town’s fees, taxes, non-federal grants
and other revenues and to spend such revenues for debt service, municipal operations,
capital projects, and any other lawful municipal purpose, notwithstanding any state of
Colorado restrictions on revenues or spending, including the restrictions of Article X,
Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution, the revenue limit in Section 29-1-301 of the
Colorado Revised Statutes, or any other law.
On November 3, 2020, the Town’s electorate approved the following: Without increasing
total tax revenues collected, shall the Town of Fraser be authorized to adjust its mill levy
annually to offset revenue reductions caused by State imposed changes to the
percentage used to determine assessed valuation, including any changes made pursuant
to the 1982 Gallagher amendment to the Colorado Constitution, so that, to the extent
possible, the revenues generated by such mill levy are the same as the tax revenues that
would have been generated had such changes in the method of calculating assessed
valuation not occurred?
The Town's management believes it is in compliance with the financial provisions of
TABOR. However, TABOR is complex and subject to interpretation. Many of its
provisions, including the interpretation of how to calculate fiscal year spending limits,
could require judicial interpretation.

IV.Detailed Notes on All Funds
A.Deposits and Investments
The Town’s checking accounts are entirely covered by federal depository insurance
(“FDIC”) or by collateral held under Colorado’s Public Deposit Protection Act (“PDPA”).
The FDIC insures the first $250,000 of the Town’s deposits at each financial institution.
Deposit balances over $250,000 are collateralized as required by PDPA. The carrying
amount of the Town’s demand deposits were $951,066 at year end.
Fair Value of Investments
The Town measures and records its investments using fair value measurement
guidelines established by generally accepted accounting principles. These guidelines
recognize a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets;
Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted market prices; and,
Level 3: Unobservable inputs.
At December 31, 2022, the Town had the following recurring fair value measurements:
Inve st ments Me asure d at Net Asse t Value
Col ot rus t 20,605,495$
Debt and equity securities classified in Level 1 are valued using prices quoted in active
markets for those securities.

A.Deposits and Investments (continued)
The investment pools represent investments in the Colorado Government Liquid Asset
Trust (“COLOTRUST”)a 2a7-like pools. Pools are not covered by FDIC insurance or
PDPA but are rated AAAm. The fair value of the pools is determined by the pools’share
price. The Town has no regulatory oversight for the pools.
Interest Rate Risk. As a means of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk, the Town
coordinates its investment maturities to closely match cash flow needs and restricts the
maximum investment term to less than five years from the purchase date. As a result of
the limited length of maturities the Town has limited its interest rate risk.
Credit Risk.Colorado statutes specify instruments in which local governments may
invest, including:
Obligations of the U.S. and certain U.S.governmental agency securities
Certain international agency securities
General obligation and revenue bonds for U.S. local governmental entities
Bankers’acceptances of certain banks
Commercial paper
Local government investment pools
Written repurchase agreements collateralized by certain authorized securities
Certain money market funds
Guaranteed investment contracts
The Town’s general investment policy is to apply the prudent-person rule: Investments
are made as a prudent person would be expected to act, with discretion and intelligence,
to seek reasonable income, preserve capital, and, in general, avoid speculative
investments.

A.Joint Facilities(“JF”) Operations and Maintenance Fund
In 2002, the Fraser Sanitation District (the “District”), Winter Park Ranch, and Grand
County #1 entered into an agreement to participate in the joint construction,
maintenance, and operations of joint interceptor sewer lines and joint sewage treatment
facilities. This new wastewater treatment plant has been constructed on the existing plant
site of the District/Winter Park Ranch treatment facility and a new and/or expanded sewer
trunk line from Grand County #1 will connect with the existing District/Winter Park Ranch
interceptor line. Title of the new joint facilities will be allocated among these three
members based on each member’s proportionate share of equivalent residential units to
be serviced by the new plant. The District was dissolved into the Town effective
December 31, 2009.
Construction costs of these new facilities, excluding expenses relating to segment B of
the joint trunk lines (“B-Line”) described below, are based on each member’s future share
of equivalent residential units to be serviced by the new plant and are allocated as
follows:
Town –34.07%
Winter Park Ranch –28.89%
Grand County #1 –37.04%
Under the Upper Fraser Valley Wastewater Agreement, a Joint Facilities Oversight
Committee (“JFOC”) was established to represent the three members regarding the
construction, expansion, operations, management, and maintenance of the new joint
facilities. The JFOC is comprised of a total of nine members, with each member having
three members. The Town was appointed as the manager of the joint facilities for 2022.
The JFOC may designate a new manager on an annual basis. In 2022, as approved by
the JFOC,the Town earned $37,800 in management fees.
Operations and maintenance costs will be allocated among the three members based on
each member’s proportionate share of equivalent residential units currently serviced by
the new plant. In addition, upon certification of the new joint facilities, this agreement
requires the establishment of an operations and maintenance reserve fund equal to three
months operations and maintenance costs and a capital replacement reserve fund, the
amount which is determined by the JFOC.

and several individuals (collectively referred to as the “Rendezvous”), Maryvale
Commercial Metropolitan District, and Maryvale Residential Metropolitan District
(these districts are collectively referred to as the “Maryvale Districts”) that
permitted the inclusion of the Maryvale development within the District’s
boundaries in order to receive sanitation services, in exchange for inclusion fees.
Pursuant to this agreement, Rendezvous and the Maryvale Districts are

infrastructure from the existing District sewer main to the Maryvale development.
These sewer main extensions and related infrastructure will ultimately be
conveyed to the District at the time these projects are completed or begin to be
used, whichever comes first, subject to the District’s acceptance of these assets.
As of December 31, 2022,Maryvale development sewer mains and infrastructure
had been conveyed to the District, and is presented as an asset on the Town’s
financial statements.
Per this agreement, in exchange for the District agreeing to oversize the new
wastewater treatment plant described earlier, the Developer and Maryvale
Districts agreed to cover the amount of any shortfall in the District’s CWRPDA
loan payments by pre-purchasing tap fees. In addition, this agreement requires
the Developer and Maryvale Districts to establish an escrow account in the
amount of $160,000 to guarantee their compliance in the event of a default
regarding their pre-purchase obligations. As of December 31, 2022, no prepaid
tap fees have been required or made by the Developer and the Maryvale
Districts. This guarantee was released in 2009.
2.Pre-Inclusion Agreement -Cornerstone

Park Holdings, L.L.C. (“Cornerstone”) that permits the inclusion of a portion of
Cornerstone’s development within the District’s boundaries in order to receive
sanitation services for inclusion fees.

sewer lines and any related facilities within the property including all lines,
manholes and mains.This infrastructure will ultimately be conveyed to the
District at the time these projects are completed or begin to be used, whichever
comes first, subject to the District’s acceptance of these assets.

B.Retirement Plans –Defined Contribution Pension Plan –Section 401(a)
The Town is a member of Colorado Retirement Association (“CRA”). CRA was
established to provide retirement benefits to employees of Colorado local governments.
As a member, the Town participates in the CRA retirement plan created in accordance
with Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a) (the “401(a) Plan”), which is a defined
contribution pension plan. Employees of the Town are required to participate in the
401(a) Plan after 6 months of service. Each eligible employee is required to contribute
4% of gross wages to the 401(a) Plan. The Town matches employee contributions at the
same rate and these matched dollars have a vesting period of 5 years. The Town is
neither the trustee nor the administrator for the 401(a) Plan. The seven-member
governing board of CRA makes all necessary rules and is responsible for administration
of the funds in the 401(a) Plan. Benefits payable at retirement, death, termination, or
other unforeseen circumstance are based on the accumulated account balance of each
employee. Upon termination of service with the Town, any unvested amounts will be
forfeited and may be used to pay plan expenses or Employer’s contributions to the 401(a)
Plan.
During 2022, the Town recognized $66,848 of expense under this plan. The Town has
$0 of forfeitures included in the 2022 401(a) Plan expense. The Town had a liability of
$5,092 due to the 401(a) Plan at December 31, 2022.
C.Retirement Plans –Deferred Compensation Plan –Section 457(b)
The Town also participates in the CRA retirement plan created in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code Section 457(b)(the “457(b)Plan”), which is a deferred
compensation plan. The plan permits employees to defer a portion of their salary until
future years. All contributions to the 457(b)Plan and all income attributable to those
amounts are to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the plan participants and their
beneficiaries. Plan investment purchases are determined by the plan participant and
therefore, the plan’s investment concentration varies between participants. The Town
matches up to 2% of employee contributions and these matched dollars are vested
immediately. The Town has no liability for losses under the plan but does have the duty
of due care that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The Town is neither
the trustee nor the administrator for the plan. The seven-member governing board of
CRA makes all necessary rules and is responsible for administration of the funds in the
457(b)Plan. Benefits payable at retirement, death, termination, or other unforeseen
circumstance are based on the accumulated account balance of each employee.
The Town recognized $19,111 of pension expense related to the 457(b) Plan during 2022
and had a liability of $4,321 due to the 457(b)Plan at December 31, 2022.
D.Other Employee Benefits -Post Employment Health Care Benefits
All Town employees covered by State continuation insurance may continue their health
insurance due to a reduction in work hours or termination of employment (for reasons
other than "gross misconduct") for up to 18 months after the occurrence of one of these
events. Eligible dependents may continue coverage for up to 36 months. Employees
who elect continued coverage do so through Colorado Employer Benefit Trust (CEBT)
who is a multiple employer trust for public institutions providing employee benefits. CEBT
partnered with 24HourFlex as the COBRA administer for all CEBT employers. No cost to
the Town is recognized as employees pay through 24HourFlex.

TF-23-11 RMU Overlay District conversion to Riverwalk District Page 1 of 6
BOARD OF TRUSTEES Date Prepared: September 13, 2023
STAFF REPORT & REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: September 20, 2023
RE: Riverwalk Mixed Use Overlay District conversion to Riverwalk District
To: Town of Fraser Board of Trustees
From: Will Charles, AICP, Baseline
Thru: Ben Thurston, AICP, Baseline
Project Number: TF-23-11
Applicant: Town of Fraser
Property Owner: All properties currently located within the RMU Overlay District
CC: Michael Brack, Fraser Town Manager
MATTER BEFORE THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES:
A code amendment to chapter 19 that would remove the Riverwalk Mixed Use (RMU) Overlay District
create the Riverwalk (RW) District, a new standard zone district, and ground floor commercial along
certain frontages.
ACTION REQUESTED:
The Town of Fraser requests an amendment to the Land Development Code to remove the RMU Overlay
district, add the RW district, and require ground floor commercial along Highway 40 and Clayton Court
in the new district.
BACKGROUND & REQUEST
The Riverwalk Mixed Use Overlay District was created to implement the goals and objectives established
by the 2017 Downtown Fraser Strategic Plan. Some of these goals include making the area a walkable
mixed-use neighborhood, creating a riverwalk along the Fraser River, enhancing the downtown street
grid, and maintain the funky/eclectic design of Fraser. While these goals are still the vision for the area,
the overlay district has led to confusion for applicants and staff due to discrepancies between the
underlying Business (B) Zone District and the Riverwalk Mixed Use (RMU) Overlay District. At the June 7,
2023 Board of Trustees meeting, the properties along Clayton Court were rezoned from the Medium
Density Single Family (MDSF) Zone District to the Business (B) Zone District. With this change, the RMU
now only encompasses properties zoned Business (B). Additionally, the Town Manager recently directed
staff to prepare a code amendment to require ground floor commercial adjacent to Highway 40 and
Clayton Court for new development or redevelopment.
On July 26, 2023, staff presented a workshop to the Planning Commission regarding a proposal to
remove the RMU Overlay District, add a new Riverwalk (RW) Zone District, and incorporate a ground
floor commercial requirement. At the conclusion of the workshop, the Planning Commission directed
staff to proceed with the Town-initiated code amendment to achieve these goals. On August 16, 2023
Planning Commission approved a resolution recommending approval of the code amendment, and
further discussion on this meeting is provided below.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES
Overall Changes
The overall changes included:
• Replacing the term Riverwalk Mixed Use (RMU) Overlay District with Riverwalk District (RW).
• Removing references to other zone districts within standards for the RW District.
Section 19-2-255 Zoning District Standards
This section contains the zoning district standards for the former RMU and now RW. Changes to this
code section include establishing lot size, setback, floor area, height, and open space requirements for
the zone district. Most of these standards are identical to the requirements of the B District to maintain
continuity with the established Fraser Standards.
Changes were also made to this section to require ground floor commercial adjacent to both Highway 40
and Clayton Court. For this requirement, staff proposes a ground floor commercial requirement along
the frontages of these roads, for a minimum depth of the first twenty feet of the building. Additionally,
density bonuses that were a central part of the RMU were maintained in the RW district to encourage
affordable housing and mixed-use development.
Section 19-2-340 Schedule of Uses
A number of uses that are included in the B District were not listed in the RMU Overlay District, many of
which are existing uses within the boundaries of the existing RMU Overlay District. For the RW District
the discrepancies between the RMU and B Districts were considered and a majority of uses that were
not originally included were added as conditional uses.
Below are the land uses that are not listed in the RMU Overlay and the proposed use designation in the
new RW District:
• Kennels – Conditional
• Marijuana – Licensed
• Auto Repair – Conditional
• Pawnshops – Conditional
• Contractors Shops and Yards – Conditional
• Laboratory and Research Facilities – Conditional
• Manufacturing Fabrication and Assembly Operations – Conditional
• Paint and Body Shops – Conditional
• Outdoor Storage – Conditional
• Storage of vehicles or parts thereof from towing operations, used
car lots, rental car operations – Conditional
• Warehousing and Distribution – Conditional
• Wholesale Trade – Conditional
• Workshop and Custom Small Industry – Conditional
• Public Schools – Conditional
• RV Parks – Remains Prohibited

• Single Family Dwelling detached/attached/zipper – Conditional
Section 19-4-190 Building Design
An additional standard was added to this section to require ground floor commercial uses towards the
front of buildings, rather than set back or otherwise hidden from the street.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW, RECOMMENDATION, DISCUSSION, AND CHANGES:
On August 23, 2023 the Fraser Planning Commission unanimously approved Resolution 2023-08-02
recommending the Fraser Board of Trustees approve the code amendment to chapter 19. During the
Planning Commission meeting several changes to the amendment were proposed and those, as well as
other changes made to the amendment, are briefly discussed below.
• Setbacks: For any use other than single family residential (attached or detached) or for mixed
use, no minimum setback is established in order to provide flexibility in site planning and
accommodate outdoor dining or other desirable uses. Instead, the code states that setbacks
must be consistent with the intent of the district and will be determined during the site plan
review.
• Open Space: For any use other than residential, open space was reduced to five percent (from
15%) to maximize developable area and allow greater flexibility in site planning. Mixed-use
development would also be five percent.
• Intent: The intent statement was expanded to further reinforce the goals of the zone district and
provide more direction when reviewing projects.
• Density and river fronting architectural standards: These areas were discussed at Planning
Commission; however, the regulations remain the same as what was originally proposed. The
density was left at a base level of twenty dwelling units per acre to encourage developers to
utilize the density bonuses in the code. Increasing the base density could make it less likely for
developers to pursue affordable housing in their project because they could get to their
preferred densities with just market rate products. Additionally, adding more robust language to
encourage commercial activation along the river was also discussed. This section also remains as
originally written. The code has some language to encourage projects to also activate the
riverwalk, however adding a commercial requirement has the potential to over-saturate the
area with required commercial development that might not be sustainable.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES REVIEW, DISCUSSION, AND CHANGES:
On September 6, 2023 the Fraser Board of Trustees held a public hearing and discussed the ordinance.
Below is a summary of the proposed changes:
• Intent: The intent statement for the district was reworded to add additional flexibility and
clarification on where parking areas should be located.
• Commercial Requirement along Clayton Court and HWY 40: Additional clarification was added
that building components such as parking garage entrances and mechanical equipment can be
located within the first 20’ in depth of the structure.
• Density: The density bonus for affordable housing was adjusted from 60 dwelling units per acre
(du/ac) at 80% Area Median Income (AMI) to 40 du/ac at 120% AMI.

NEXT STEPS
If this ordinance revision is approved, all properties within the RMU Overlay District will revert to the
standard underlying B District. No properties will automatically be rezoned to the new RW District. A
rezoning will be required for those properties that are currently subject to the RMU Overlay.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Section 19-1-190 defers to Colorado State Statutes for noticing requirements, which requires notice at
least 15 days prior to a public hearing. Code amendments do not require a public hearing before the
Planning Commission. Notice was provided for the September 6th Town Board public hearing as
required by the state statutes on August 17th.
SUMMARY
The Town has prepared an ordinance with a proposed code amendment in accordance with the
requirements of the Land Development Code. This proposed code amendment would replace RMU
Overlay District language with RW District language, create a new standard zone district, and require
ground floor commercial along certain frontages.
REQUEST: Planning Commission initiated request through staff direction to amend the Land
Development Code to remove the RMU Overlay district, add the RW district, and require
ground floor commercial along Highway 40 and Clayton Court in the new district.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Town Board APPROVE the proposed ordinance
amending chapter 19.

Sec. 19-4-190. Building design; commercial and mixed use development.
(a) General. It is the policy of the Town to encourage building designs and materials to be architecturally
compatible with the historic, natural and mountain environment of the Town. To accomplish this goal, new
development should meet a majority of the following design guidelines:
(1) Building orientation. Buildings should be oriented parallel to the primary street front. A skewed
building orientation should be avoided.
(2) Building elements and materials.
a. Building facades should incorporate a variety of materials.
b. Porches with wooden posts, columns or functional awnings should be incorporated into the
building design. All porches and awnings should have an eight-foot minimum clearance.
c. Building materials shall be compatible and in harmony with the natural setting of the Town. The
use of natural stone masonry, exposed wood structural beams, logs, heavy timbers, stucco and
masonry are all acceptable materials. The use of stone or masonry as a foundation up to a height
of at least thirty-six (36) inches is encouraged.
d. The back of a building shall have the same overall design as the front of a building.
(3) Mass. The mass of the building should be compatible to adjacent buildings. Long, uninterrupted
exterior walls and/or roof lines should be avoided to break up the mass of the building.
(4) Roof elements and design. Where pitched roofs are used, they shall be designed in a manner that
provides variation in roof lines to break up large expanses of roof and to add architectural interest to
the roof.
(5) Colors. Color schemes for both the building and roof should be compatible and found in the natural
landscape, such as earth-toned solids (browns, greens, greys, etc.), bedrock and woodland vegetative
growth. High-contrast or bright colors, where desired, should be reserved for trim and accent.
(6) Windows. Display windows on the first floor should face the primary street frontage and provide visual
interest.
(7) Energy conservation. Buildings should take advantage of a south-facing orientation for passive or active
solar heat gain to the greatest extent possible. The implementation and operation of systems or
devices which provide an effective means of renewable energy are encouraged.
(b) Building height in Planned Developments. Proposed height limits may be renegotiated at the PD District plan
amendment stage. Final height of buildings may be negotiated by the Planning Commission at the final PD
plan stage and subject to further negotiation and/or the approval of the Board of Trustees. Height
negotiations are to be carried out in relation to the following characteristics of the proposed buildings or
other improvements:
(1) Its geographical location;
(2) The probable effect on slopes, soils and other hazardous terrain;
(3) Adverse visual effect to the adjacent public and private property, rights -of-way or other areas in the
immediate vicinity;
(4) Potential problems for adjacent public and private sites caused by shadows, loss of air circulation or
closing of view;
(5) Influence on the general vicinity, with regard to contrasts, vistas and open space;
Created: 2023-07-07 10:25:31 [EST]
(Supp. No. 16, Update 5)
Page 10 of 10
(6) The extent to which potential adverse effects are eliminated or reduced by such factors as spacing
between buildings and limitation of the ground areas occupied by such buildings;
(7) The extent to which building height will contribute to the environmental amenities and increased
efficiency of the development by allowing for more open space, the more efficient provision of utilities
and other services, and other desirable effects;
(8) Its potential for improving the level of privacy in adjacent residential areas;
(9) Its potential for being compatible with the scale of the surrounding natural environmental and built
areas; and
(10) Public safety considerations.
(c) Building spacing in Planned Developments.
(1) Each planned development shall provide reasonable visual and acoustical privacy for buildings. Fences,
insulation, walks, barriers, landscaping and sound -reducing construction techniques shall be used as
appropriate for the aesthetic enhancement of property and the privacy of its occupants, the screening
of objectionable views or uses and the reduction of noise.
(d) Riverwalk Mixed Use Overlay District. In addition to the provisions of Subsection (a) above, the development
of any new building or structure in the Riverwalk Mixed Use Overlay District should be of such a design so as
to contribute to the architectural identity of the emerging Riverwalk District.
(1) Buildings should front on streets, or along the river as may be appropriate, in order to create a sense of
enclosure.
(2) On-site parking should be located away from pedestrian areas as much as feasible in order to activate
uses along the street or Fraser River and promote the walkable nature of the district Parking should be
located either behind buildings to screen vehicles from sight or so as to reduce impacts to the
pedestrian environment along streets or the river.
(3) Building elements and materials should ensure that design within the Riverwalk District reflects the
funky/eclectic character of Fraser.
(4) Ground floor commercial uses shall be adjacent to street frontages as much as practicable.

Sec. 19-4-190. Building design; commercial and mixed use development.
(a) General. It is the policy of the Town to encourage building designs and materials to be architecturally
compatible with the historic, natural and mountain environment of the Town. To accomplish this goal, new
development should meet a majority of the following design guidelines:
(1) Building orientation. Buildings should be oriented parallel to the primary street front. A skewed
building orientation should be avoided.
(2) Building elements and materials.
a. Building facades should incorporate a variety of materials.
b. Porches with wooden posts, columns or functional awnings should be incorporated into the
building design. All porches and awnings should have an eight-foot minimum clearance.
c. Building materials shall be compatible and in harmony with the natural setting of the Town. The
use of natural stone masonry, exposed wood structural beams, logs, heavy timbers, stucco and
masonry are all acceptable materials. The use of stone or masonry as a foundation up to a height
of at least thirty-six (36) inches is encouraged.
d. The back of a building shall have the same overall design as the front of a building.
(3) Mass. The mass of the building should be compatible to adjacent buildings. Long, uninterrupted
exterior walls and/or roof lines should be avoided to break up the mass of the building.
(4) Roof elements and design. Where pitched roofs are used, they shall be designed in a manner that
provides variation in roof lines to break up large expanses of roof and to add architectural interest to
the roof.
(5) Colors. Color schemes for both the building and roof should be compatible and found in the natural
landscape, such as earth-toned solids (browns, greens, greys, etc.), bedrock and woodland vegetative
growth. High-contrast or bright colors, where desired, should be reserved for trim and accent.
(6) Windows. Display windows on the first floor should face the primary street frontage and provide visual
interest.
(7) Energy conservation. Buildings should take advantage of a south-facing orientation for passive or active
solar heat gain to the greatest extent possible. The implementation and operation of systems or
devices which provide an effective means of renewable energy are encouraged.
(b) Building height in Planned Developments. Proposed height limits may be renegotiated at the PD District plan
amendment stage. Final height of buildings may be negotiated by the Planning Commission at the final PD
plan stage and subject to further negotiation and/or the approval of the Board of Trustees. Height
negotiations are to be carried out in relation to the following characteristics of the proposed buildings or
other improvements:
(1) Its geographical location;
(2) The probable effect on slopes, soils and other hazardous terrain;
(3) Adverse visual effect to the adjacent public and private property, rights -of-way or other areas in the
immediate vicinity;
(4) Potential problems for adjacent public and private sites caused by shadows, loss of air circulation or
closing of view;
(5) Influence on the general vicinity, with regard to contrasts, vistas and open space;
Created: 2023-07-07 10:25:29 [EST]
(Supp. No. 16, Update 5)
Page 11 of 12
(6) The extent to which potential adverse effects are eliminated or reduced by such factors as spacing
between buildings and limitation of the ground areas occupied by such buildings;
(7) The extent to which building height will contribute to the environmental amenities and increased
efficiency of the development by allowing for more open space, the more efficient provision of utilities
and other services, and other desirable effects;
(8) Its potential for improving the level of privacy in adjacent residential areas;
(9) Its potential for being compatible with the scale of the surrounding natural environmental and built
areas; and
(10) Public safety considerations.
(c) Building spacing in Planned Developments.
(1) Each planned development shall provide reasonable visual and acoustical privacy for buildings. Fences,
insulation, walks, barriers, landscaping and sound -reducing construction techniques shall be used as
appropriate for the aesthetic enhancement of property and the privacy of its occupants, the screening
of objectionable views or uses and the reduction of noise.
(d) Riverwalk Mixed Use Overlay District. In addition to the provisions of Subsection (a) above, the development
of any new building or structure in the Riverwalk Mixed Use Overlay District should be of such a design so as
to contribute to the architectural identity of the emerging Riverwalk District.
(1) Buildings should front on streets, or along the river as may be appropriate, in order to create a sense of
enclosure.
(2) On-site parking should be located away from pedestrian areas as much as feasible in order to activate
uses along the street or Fraser River and promote the walkable nature of the district Parking should be
located either behind buildings to screen vehicles from sight or so as to reduce impacts to the
pedestrian environment along streets or the river.
(3) Building elements and materials should ensure that design within the Riverwalk District reflects the
funky/eclectic character of Fraser.
(4) Ground floor commercial uses shall be adjacent to street frontages as much as practicable.
( Ord. 452 §1(Exh. A), 2018)
PART 2: EFFECT ON PROPERTIES IN THE RMU OVERLAY DISTRICT
The full implementation of this ordinance requires a zoning map amendment to remove the
RMU overlay district and rezone properties to the new RW standard zone district. Until such
time that a zoning map amendment is approved, all properties that are currently subject to the
RMU overlay district shall continue to be regulated by the land development code as it existed
prior to this ordinance.
PART 3: REPEAL
Any and all existing ordinances or parts of ordinances of the Town of Fraser covering the same
matters as embraced in this Ordinance are hereby repealed and all ordinances or parts of
ordinances inconsistent with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed; provided,
however, that such repeal shall not affect or prevent the prosecution or punishment of any
person for any act done or committed in violation of any ordinance hereby repealed prior to the
taking effect of this ordinance.

MEMO TO: Mayor Vandernail and the Board of Trustees
FROM: Sarah Catanzarite, Assistant Town Manager
DATE: September 20, 2023
SUBJECT: Parking Study Scope
MATTER BEFORE BOARD:
Review and advise scope for joint parking study for Town of Fraser and Town of Winter Park to be
included prior to the Towns publishing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for said parking study.
BACKGROUND:
Prior discussions and direction from the Economic Development Advisory Committee and the Town
Board have indicated the need to further evaluate parking challenges and solutions. As the Town of
Winter Park is likewise pursuing a parking study at this time, the opportunity has presented to seek a
joint parking study that can evaluate a regional parking approach.
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS SCOPE:
The Towns of Winter Park and Fraser, Colorado are seeking a combined parking study that will
evaluate current and future parking needs and make recommendations based on a regional overview,
as well as the individual context and needs of each community. The parking study and associated
recommendations should incorporate current and emerging best practices, including Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) and smart parking strategies that balance the benefits and opportunity
costs of allocating resources for parking, while offering creative solutions that maximize the efficiency
of available and future parking options alongside encouraging multi-modal transportation that will
reduce parking demands.
I. Vision, Engagement & Coordination: Parking Study design and implementation should
reflect the vision of the Winter Park and Fraser Town Boards and the Winter Park-Fraser
Valley Sustainable Community Plan and consider the unique context and needs of the Fraser
River Valley holistically as well as for each individual community.
a. Direction and coordination will be provided through meetings with Fraser and Winter
Park Town staff, the Town Boards and Planning Commissions.
b. Facilitated community engagement with identified stakeholders including the Chamber
of Commerce, Economic Development Advisory Committees, Sustainable Community
Group, Headwaters Trail Alliance, Fraser Valley Rec District, and the public.
c. Engagement with the public may include a public meeting and/ or a survey to be
distributed electronically.
d. Incorporate town and regional studies and planning documents: 2017 Downtown
Fraser Strategic Plan, Fraser River Corridor Master Plan, Sustainable Community
Town of Fraser

www.frasercolorado.com
Plan, 2019 Imagine Winter Park Town Plan, 2020 Winter Park Downtown Master Plan,
Winter Park Resort Parking Study and Development Plans, Winter Park LIFT transit
study.
e. Ongoing check-ins and coordination meetings with identified Town staff.
II. Existing Parking Conditions Assessment: Develop a parking study that is data driven and
community informed, that assesses current conditions through data collection of existing
parking inventory, demand, and usage to identify gaps, needs and key parking challenges.
a. Inventory and collect public and private (non-residential) parking supply information
within and near defined commercial corridors and other high use areas such as parks
and trailheads within town limits.
b. Collect on-and-off street parking samples during a typical weekday and weekend (both
day and evening), including during both busy winter and summer peak periods, to
include occupancy rates, length of stay and turnover data.
III. Creative Solutions for Parking Management: Evaluate and provide recommendations for
creative strategies, parking management tools, and no build solutions to improve public
awareness around parking options and to develop an effective and innovative parking
management plan that makes efficient use of parking supply.
Evaluate and make recommendations around:
a. On-street parking design
b. Signage, wayfinding, and other approaches to increasing awareness around parking
and multimodal transportation options
c. Rationing- time limits/ parking fees/ enforcement
i. Examine the use of time limits and/ or paid parking to ensure efficient and
effective utilization of limited spaces in high demand areas such as along
Main Street/ HWY 40, include suggested time limits and rates for identified
locations including possibilities for price variation based on peak times/
parking demand
ii. Explore technologies for parking kiosks, mobile payment, and pay by plate,
with opportunities to consider discounts or exemptions for locals and/ or
price variations for peak times/ dependent upon demand/ parking
availability
d. Creation of one-way streets with diagonal parking
e. Shared private or semi-public parking options amongst businesses with
guidance for implementation
f. Park-once-and-walk districts
g. Decreasing parking demand through the promotion and enhancement of multi-
modal transportation options
IV. Future Parking Needs & Infrastructure Analysis: Project parking needs for future proposed
development and growth and provide policies and recommendations for meeting that demand,
including key infrastructure needs and cost estimates.
a. Develop a model based on present transportation preferences and behaviors to project
parking needs into the future. Models should consider interventions such as improved
parking management and multimodal infrastructure enhancements.
b. Future parking needs in Winter Park would consider ongoing skier parking challenges
and proposed development including an aerial transit system to the Winter Park Ski
Resort from downtown.
Town of Fraser
PO Box 370, Fraser, CO 80442 office 970-726-5491 fax 970-726-5518
www.frasercolorado.com
c. Future parking needs in Fraser would consider the proposed development of a Main
Street Riverwalk District, the Fraser Center for Creative Arts, and other downtown
development/ revitalization efforts.
d. Evaluate need and viability of multi-level parking structure(s), cite suitable locations,
proposed square footage needs, number of spaces, basic design concepts, and
estimated cost.
e. Regionally, consideration of park n rides or other options, as warranted by demand,
including proposed locations, size, and coordination with LIFT Transit and/ or shuttle
services for selected high-volume events/ peak times.
V. Policy Evaluation and Recommendations: Review Towns’ municipal codes, ordinances,
and policies to recommend updates to support commercial and residential development while
protecting the needs of the community. Recommendations should consider industry best
practices, emerging creative solutions to parking and multimodal transportation, and
community vision, including the desire for thriving, walkable, pedestrian friendly downtowns.
a. Explore zoning code updates to support smart parking strategies such as evaluating
current parking minimums (possible reduced or eliminated minimums for relevant
zones), maximum parking requirements, flexibility in providing parking off-site and
incentives for shared parking.
b. Recommend options for financing of public or shared parking and ongoing
maintenance costs such as parking fee-in-lieu programs, granting of land easements
by businesses to be used for public or shared parking, ongoing maintenance fees, and
shared parking districts and management.
VI. Associated Costs and Capital Planning: Identify associated capital, operations, and
maintenance costs for policy and infrastructure recommendations, along with suggested
funding and revenue sources.
VII. Presentation of Findings and Recommendations: A data-driven, community-informed,
implementation-based report that encompasses parking study results and best practice
recommendations tailored to the unique context and needs of the Winter Park and Fraser
communities. The report should provide holistic considerations for the Fraser River Valley
region, data breakdown and recommendations for each community, and suggestions for
where uniformity between the two communities would be recommended. A presentation of
findings and working session should be held with the Town Boards prior to final report
completion.

Preventative Services – will be processed following the Federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. For more information on these services go to https://cebt.org/resources/benefit-booklets.
*Embedded - Under this deductible definition, any single member of a family doesn't have to meet the full family deductible for the after-deductible benefits to kick in. Once they meet the individual deductible, plan benefits will start
to pay.
*Non-Embedded - Also referred to as an aggregate deductible. Under this arrangement, the total family deductible must be paid out-of-pocket before health insurance starts paying for the health care services incurred by any family
member. Usually applies in High Deductible Health plan. The individual deductible doesn’t apply if there are multiple people covered by the plan (Employee +1, Employee + Spouse, Family Coverage, etc.)
PPO Note: Combination of PPO and Non PPO out of pocket limit will never exceed the Non PPO out of pocket limit.
Family Deductible: Combines individual and family deductible. When a family member has a healthcare expense, the money paid toward the individual deductible is also credited toward the family deductible. Ex- An individual satisfies
a $3,500 individual deductible which is then credited toward the $7,000 family deductible and leaves a balance of $3,500 to be satisfied by another family member or members.
EPO NOTE: The member must use a contracted provider for all care. Out of network providers are only covered if the charges are for emergency treatment. If this is not done, there is no guarantee that the charges will be covered.
MEMO TO:Mayor Vandernail and the Board of Trustees
FROM:Antoinette McVeigh, Town Clerk
DATE:September 20, 2023
SUBJECT:Town of Fraser Fund
MATTER BEFORE BOARD:
Town of Fraser Fund Agreement, criteria, and guidelines.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the Town of Fraser Fund A Donor Advised Fund of the Grand Foundation Agreement
and create the deadline and criteria.
BACKGROUND:
At the Board of Trustees meeting on September 6, 2023 the Town of Fraser Fund A Donor
Advised Fund of the Grand Foundation was presented to the Board. The Board decided to
move forward to have the Grand Foundation administer the Town of Fraser Fund.
The deadline, criteria and guidelines have to be established.
Application deadline
The board discussed a rolling application deadline. I recommend considering the following
criteria.
Set an annual grant application deadline for November 3. This creates a fairness for all non-
profits to apply for the same allocated dollars.
Once the grant dollars are annually budgeted, the board can dedicate specific dollars to a
specific non-profit(s). These non-profits would still have to apply for the grant but would be
“guaranteed” those specific dollars. Any amount not allocated to a specific non-profit(s) would
be the remaining dollars available to all other eligible requesters.
The Board can choose to set aside a specific dollar amount that can be available after the
November 3 deadline for additional grant request(s). There should be specific guidelines for any
applications outside of the November 3 deadline. Things to consider: Why didn’t the applicant
meet the November 3 deadline? Are applicants eligible for more than one grant? Is this a new
project/event/emergency? Has the applicant applied in previous years? Other guidelines?
What are the organization guidelines and criteria
Things to consider:
Winter Park: organizations that enhance the quality of life in Grand County, groups that provide
programs or services in the areas of arts and culture, health and human services, environment,
education and amateur sports.
Board of County Commissioners: organizations that enhance the quality of life in Grand County.
This includes groups that provide programs or services in the areas health and human services,
environment and education.
Grand Lake: organizations that benefit the Grand Lake Community through projects and
Programs. organizations that enhance the quality of life in Grand County. This includes groups
that provide programs or services in the areas of arts and culture, health and human services,
environment, education and amateur sports.
Does the non-profit need to be located in Fraser, Fraser Valley, Fraser Valley Metropolitan
Recreation District, Grand County?
Other criteria?
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve the Town of Fraser Fund A Donor Advised Fund of the Grand Foundation and
continue to allow organizations to request funding through out the year.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Town should mirror the guidelines of Winter Park, set a deadline for the applications and
consider setting aside dollars for requests that are made after the November 3 deadline.
Approve Resolution 2023-09-08 the Town of Fraser Fund A Donor Advised Fund of the Grand

1/1/2024

#1032637 v1
Foundation’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Procedures for Operation of Advised Funds as
they now exist or may be hereafter amended (the “Governing Instruments”), and the provisions of
the federal income tax regulations in Treas. Reg. § 1.170A-9(e)(10) through (14) that apply to the
Foundation as a “community trust,” all of which are hereby accepted and agreed to by Grantor,
including those provisions relating to the amendment or termination of designations of specific
organizations, restrictions with respect to the use of principal or income, and other directions or
advice from donors. Grantor acknowledges that under the provisions of the Governing Instruments
and applicable tax regulations, the Board of Directors of the Foundation shall have the power to
modify or eliminate any designation, restriction or condition on the distribution of funds for any
specified charitable purposes or designated organization if in its sole judgment (without the
necessity or the approval of any participating trustee, custodian or agent) such designation,
restriction or condition becomes, in effect, unnecessary, undesirable, impractical, incapable of
fulfillment or inconsistent with the charitable needs of the Foundation.
4.Advisory Committee.
(a)Committee Members. The Town Manager, and Two (2) Town Trustees and
other such persons as Grantor shall appoint from time to time shall comprise the “Advisory
Committee” for purposes of this Agreement. Members of the Advisory Committee may be
removed and replaced at any time by Grantor upon written notification to the Foundation.
(b)Role of Committee. The Advisory Committee shall submit annually to the
Board of Directors of the Foundation written recommendations with respect to distributions of the
Fund consistent with paragraph 3(a) above.
(c)Procedures. The Advisory Committee shall conduct its activities in
accordance with such rules and procedures as the Committee itself may establish. The Foundation
may rely on any writing signed by the chair of the Advisory Committee that purports to set forth the
recommendations of the Advisory Committee. All expenses and liabilities incurred by the Advisory
Committee in connection with its activities and affairs shall be the sole responsibility of Grantor or
of the members of the Advisory Committee.
(d)Term. The Advisory Committee under this Agreement shall be renewed by
July 1st each year. If the Town of Fraser decides to terminate the Agreement, written notice must be
sent before July 1st. Following the termination of the role of the Advisory Committee, all assets
remaining, on December 31st of that year, in the Fund shall be transferred to the Foundation’s
unrestricted endowment funds.

in accordance with its general investment policies and objectives approved by the Board of

for investment purposes, provided that accurate accounts are kept of the Fund’s share of any such
commingled investments.
7.Administration Fees and Expenses. The Foundation shall be entitled to pay or
reimburse itself for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Foundation in administering the Fund,
and shall be entitled to charge to the Fund a general administration fee to cover a portion of the
Foundation’s general operating expenses. The general administration fee shall be consistent with
the Foundation’s normal practice of allocating costs of administration among its various funds.
However, the fee charged to the Fund shall not exceed 3% per year.
8.Component Part. It is intended that the Fund shall be a component part of the
Foundation and not a separate trust, and that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the status of the
Foundation as an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Code and as an organization
which is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code. This
Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the foregoing intention and so as to
conform to the requirements of such provisions of the federal tax laws and any regulations issued
pursuant thereto. The Foundation shall have all of the powers provided in the Governing
Instruments or otherwise by law in connection with its administration of the Fund. In addition, the
Foundation shall have the power, acting alone, to amend this Agreement in any manner required for
the purpose of ensuring that the Fund qualifies and continues to qualify as a component part of the
Foundation as a “community trust,” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.170A-9(e)(11).
9.Miscellaneous.
(a)This Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to any
alteration, amendment or revocation by Grantor.

laws.

Dear Town of Fraser,
We wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to you for your generous support of the inaugural
Winter Park Film Festival. Your sponsorship played a pivotal role in making this event a
resounding success, and we couldn't have done it without your commitment to our community
and support of our efforts.
The Winter Park Film Festival brought together filmmakers and film enthusiasts from near and
far to celebrate the magic of cinema against the backdrop of our beautiful Fraser Valley. Your
support helped us create an unforgettable experience for our attendees.
As we look to the future, we are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. The Winter Park
Film Festival is just the beginning of what promises to be an enduring celebration for our region.
The feedback received thus far has been overwhelmingly positive. Many filmmakers shared
with us that our festival operated with the grace and professionalism of one that has been
running successfully for five years or more. They were deeply impressed by the organization
and smooth execution of this first year event. We have also composed a questionnaire/survey
that allows filmmakers (both in attendance and those unable to attend) to report their
experiences regarding submitting their films and interacting with our staff. Those reviews have
been positive and encouraging as well.
With each passing year, we envision the festival growing in stature and influence, attracting
even more creative minds and providing our community with a platform to shine cinematically.
We are confident that with your continued support, we will achieve even greater heights in
upcoming years. One such opportunity for growth we wish to implement for next year is
including a third day in which to screen more films. We also envision having another screen to
provide more options during any given time period. We would love to partner with you to make
these dreams a reality.
Once again, thank you for being an essential part of our inaugural festival's success. We look
forward to building a stronger partnership and creating a more dynamic future for our
community together.
Warmest regards,
Connor Nelson & Parks Thomson
Winter Park Film Festival
