TOWN OF FRASER RESOLUTION NO. 2023-10-01 A RESOLUTION APPROVING ADOPTION OF FRASER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICY WHEREAS,the Economic Development Advisory Committee recommended approval of the Fraser Economic Development Policy to the Board of Trustees during their September 26, 2023, meeting. WHEREAS,the Town of Fraser is committed to promoting and enhancing its downtown and commercial corridor. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF FRASER, COLORADO THAT: 1.The Town of Fraser Board of Trustees authorizes adoption of the Fraser Economic Development Policy.

Votes in favor: ___BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE Votes opposed: ___TOWN OF FRASER, COLORADO Abstained: ___ BY: Mayor ATTEST: (S E A L) Town Clerk Town of Fraser PO Box 370, Fraser, CO 80442 office 970-726-5491 fax 970-726-5518 www.frasercolorado.com Fraser Economic Development Policy DRAFT Sales tax revenues for the Town of Fraser make up the majority of the General Fund. The Fraser business community is small, therefore minor changes can have a significant impact. Consistent with the vision of the 2017 Downtown Fraser Strategic Plan, the Board of Trustees has continued to show support for attracting commercial growth. The current Fraser Valley real estate market, however, tends to encourage residential versus commercial private investment and development. Previously, after years of stagnant commercial growth, economic incentives approved by the Town Board in 2017 which expired in 2019 worked to attract two additional commercial developments. As such economic incentives may now play an integral role in moving forward with the Town’s Main Street Riverwalk initiatives, attracting new businesses, and enhancing or revitalizing existing commercial development. Accordingly, the Fraser Economic Development Advisory Committee, established in 2016 to assist the Board in developing policies to enhance the local economy, recommends the following economic development policy: The Town of Fraser is seeking to negotiate proposals for new commercial construction that would take advantage of economic incentives in line with the following: o An annual rebate of 100% of the 4% municipal sales tax for 5 years with no cap to the business owner, starting at the issuance of certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy date, whichever comes first. o Payment of water and wastewater plant investment fees to be distributed evenly over two years reflected on the property owner’s utility bill after the issuance of certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy date, whichever comes first. • Incentives would be available for construction of new commercial development within the Town of Fraser that commences construction with the issuance of a building permit between October 5th, 2023 and December 31st, 2027. • Partial incentives may be applied towards construction of new commercial additions or renovations exceeding $50,000 in construction or renovation to existing businesses as determined by the Fraser Board of Trustees. Town of Fraser PO Box 370, Fraser, CO 80442 office 970-726-5491 fax 970-726-5518 www.frasercolorado.com • For this policy's purposes, qualifying commercial activity includes any sales tax generating business. • Proposals must be consistent with the Town of Fraser Municipal code, ordinances, resolutions, and policies and acceptance of any proposal or agreement is subject to the discretion of the Town Board, which expressly reserves the right to submit to applicant a counterproposal with terms that may be inconsistent with this policy. • Accepted proposals will result in an agreement for economic incentives between the Board and the building or business owner that includes detailed conditions and terms, including a required certificate of occupancy deadline for incentives to remain valid. Interested parties should submit proposals to the Fraser Town Manager at townmanager@town.fraser.co.us. The Town will commit to an initial response within 45 days. Chair FRASER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE RESOLUTION NO. 2023-09-01 A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF FRASER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICY WHEREAS, sales tax revenues for the Town of Fraser make up the majority of the General Fund which provides for the general operations of the Town; and WHEREAS, the Fraser business community is relatively small, therefore minor changes can have a significant impact; and WHEREAS, consistent with the vision of the 2017 Downtown Fraser Strategic Plan, the Board of Trustees has continued to show support for attracting commercial growth to Fraser; and WHEREAS, the previous economic incentives program which expired in 2019 resulted in two additional commercial developments; and WHEREAS, economic incentives may now play an integral role in moving forward with the Town's Main Street Riverwalk initiatives; WHEREAS, Resolution No. 2023-08-01 is rescinded and replaced by this Resolution No. 2023-09-01; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Fraser Economic Development Advisory Committee recommends approval of the attached Fraser Economic Development Policy to the Fraser Board of Trustees.

BACKGROUND: It was recently brought to the attention of the Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) Chair and current Town Manager that Koselig had previously discussed the possibility of economic incentives (expired at the time) with the former Town Manager and had been encouraged to submit a request for incentives to EDAC for consideration. An email making such a request was sent to the Town Manager on July 26th, 2022, however that request was never forwarded on to EDAC for consideration and Koselig did not receive a reply to their request. As such Koselig on Main has provided a new request to EDAC and the Board for consideration via an email sent August 18th, 2023 (included in packet). ACTION REQUESTED: The Board is being asked to consider Koselig’s request for economic incentives. This request has been considered by EDAC and they have made a motion to recommend to the Board that due to the extenuating circumstances of previous communication issues, the Board approve some level of economic incentives to Koselig. The economic incentives provided would be determined by the Board. ALTERNATIVES: The Board could approve or not approve economic incentives for Koselig. If the Board does approve economic incentives, a formal resolution and an economic incentives agreement between the Town and Koselig would be presented to the Board at the next Board meeting for approval. RECOMMENDATION: No recommendation by staff is being made at this time. The EDAC recommendation is to provide some level of incentives as determined by the Board. Town of Fraser PO Box 370, Fraser, CO 80442 office 970-726-5491 fax 970-726-5518 www.frasercolorado.com Town of Fraser – Koselig on Main Economic Proposal Dear Economic Development Advisory Committee, We write this letter following a previous request that went unanswered. On the outset of planning our project we were told our project would qualify for the Fraser Economic Development policy, version 1, which led us to design a high end mixed use building due to the attractiveness of the incentives listed in the policy. Please see our previous request in the appendix which also shows version 1 of the Fraser Economic Development Policy. Although we followed direction from both Ed Cannon and Baseline to submit our request to EDAC, EDAC never received our request to apply for the incentives listed in version 1 of the Fraser Economic Development Policy. After meeting with the new Town manager and members of EDAC we were told again to submit a request for any Economic Development Policy incentives we wish to apply for. Version 2 of the Fraser Economic Development Policy, draft shown on the next page, is a greatly reduced set of incentives compared to version 1. Given we were told we would be qualified for the Fraser Economic Plan upon initiating our project design, and due to the fact we designed the project with this in mind, we feel applying for the reduced set of incentives shown in version 2 is not ideal, but we are going to reduce our ask and only apply for the incentives listed in version 2. Please see our official request below: - Rebate of the 4% municipal sales tax to the building owner. o 75% for five years with no cap starting at the issuance of certificate of occupancy date. - 50% waiver of the applicable 4% sales and 4% use tax for constructions and building materials for commercial or mixed use development with at least 75% ground floor commercial. o We would be this in our mixed use building - Payment of water and wastewater plant investment fees to be distributed evenly over two years reflected on the property owner’s utility bill after acquiring a certificate of Occupancy on the property. By utilizing these economic incentives, we are able to offer better rents to our tenants, healthy tenant improvement allowances, and offset some of the price increases we have all seen these past 18 months with record inflation occurring right in the middle of our project. Additionally, these incentives allow us to provide reasonable rents on class A apartments and a public amenity (the park), something that Fraser needs! As our last ask, we will be published in a Sky Hi news article this September and we want to mention the success of the partnership of the Town of Fraser, and how well the Economics Advisory Committee Incentive worked. Please let us know if you see any problem in mentioning this. We cannot be more excited to get this going and deliver something special X Kevin Rifkin - Byson Investments Managing Director X Fraser Economic Development Advisory Appendix Previous letter sent on 7/26/2022 to Ben Thurston, Ed Cannon, Julie Estrel, Antoinette Mcveigh and Alyssa Rivas following instruction to send such request from Ben Thurston Town of Fraser – Koselig on Main Economic Proposal Dear Economic Development Advisory Committee, We are very excited to get our project underway and bring for rent housing, deed restricted housing, a public park and commercial space to Downtown Fraser. When we began the project, we were told we qualified for the Fraser Economic Plan and to revisit that after approvals. For this project, we declined to ask for tax increment financing, any density bonus outside the code, parking waivers outside the code or grants. Instead, we plan on utilizing the Frasier Economic Development Policy. Please use this letter as our official request. - Rebate of the 4% municipal sales tax to the building owner. o 100% for five years then 50% for five years. - Rebate of the property tax increment for a term of five years. - Waiver of the applicable Use Tax. - Deferral of water and wastewater plant investment fees at time of building permit, payable over three years after Certificate of Occupancy. – - Water and wastewater service fee waivers until issuance of Certificate of Occupancy, or three years whichever comes first. – - A rebate of $1.00 per square foot payable upon issuance of Certificate of Occupancy (in lieu of waiver of permit and review fees). – - These incentives would be available for new commercial and mixed use real estate and business development in Fraser By utilizing these economic incentives, we are not only able to deliver a mixed use project, but deliver a project that is above and beyond the towns standards and asks. We purposefully did this to attract people to Fraser, and start the build out of what will one day be Main Street. Additionally, these incentives allow us to provide reasonable rents at class A apartments and a public amenity (the park), something that Fraser needs! As our last ask, we will be published in a few articles over the upcoming months (CO Biz Journal, ULI, Sky Hi) and we want to mention the success of the partnership of the Town of Fraser, and how well the Economics Advisory Committee Incentive worked.

ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Resolution 2023-10-02 committing the Town to increase its affordable housing inventory by 3% annually or 9% over the next 3 years to the Colorado Department of Local Affairs. BACKGROUND: Proposition 123, approved by Colorado voters in 2022, establishes the Statewide Affordable Housing Fund, as defined in the following link: https://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/Initiatives/titleBoard/filings/2021-2022/108Final.pdf Several hundred million dollars for affordable housing is available to be overseen by the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) and the Governor’s Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), and may be granted or loaned to the following types of organizations: Non-profits Community land trusts Private Entities Local governments DOLA Affordable Housing Support Fund (40%) includes Programs in Affordable Housing, Serving Persons Experiencing Homelessness, and Local Planning Capacity Development. OEDIT’s Affordable Housing Finance Fund (60%) will be administered through CHFA via Land Banking, Equity, and Concessionary Debt Programs. Organizations are only eligible for this Proposition 123 funding if their project or program takes place in municipalities, counties, or Town of Fraser PO Box 370, Fraser, CO 80442 office 970-726-5491 fax 970-726-5518 www.frasercolorado.com tribes that have committed to increasing their affordable housing stock above a baseline amount. A baseline of current affordable housing is determined for each locality in compliance with statutory definitions. Localities may then file a commitment to increase their baseline housing amount by 3% annually or 9% total over three years. ALTERNATIVES: If the Town decides not to file a commitment, opting in to Proposition 123, the Town of Fraser and other organizations with affordable housing projects/programs within Fraser will not be eligible for Proposition 123 funding. RECOMMENDATION: Town Staff recommends filing a commitment to increasing our affordable housing stock by 9% over the next 3 years. With the construction of Victoria Village, we will exceed this commitment. There is really no downside to filing a commitment. If a community does not meet their commitment in 3 years, they are ineligible for Prop 123 funding for one year and then may re- apply/opt in for the following year.

The Northwest TPR is located in CDOT's Region 3 and is comprised of five counties (Grand, Jackson, Moffat, Rio Blanco and Routt) as well as the 10 municipalities within those counties. In regard to the potential changes in TPR boundaries, the Fraser Board of Trustees strongly request that our Northwest Transportation Planning Region stay the same and that there are no additions or deletions of the members currently within the Northwest TPR boundary. One of Fraser’s Trustees, Brian Cerkvenik, is heavily involved in this collaboration as the Vice- Chair of the Northwest TPR and works to develop and maintain a long-range Regional Transportation Plan. Our TPR has worked together for many years with the goal to support the needs of all of the participating agencies in our rural NWTPR, even though there are differing priorities and there is never enough funding for all the needed projects. We appreciate that CDOT is looking to ensure consistency and transparency of the TPR process throughout the state, and we are happy to assist with that endeavor. However, we believe our current boundaries and participating counties of the NWTPR are appropriate and should remain unchanged. It is extremely important that the Highway 40 corridor remain in the same TPR, so that the same group of people can look at the road as a whole, and not have it broken up into different regions with different priorities. Sincerely, Mayor Philip Vandernail Town of Fraser
