Thank you for all of your support and counsel over the last tw'o weeks - it is great to "

Park for money. I'll have an agenda and packet ready on, Wednesday for this meeting.

, '
The Army Corps of Engineers has appa'rently decided to hold a public meeting - not a
1 public hearing ,- that has been,tentat;velv set for Wednesday; Novel11ber 1st;' This' '
. ; means thatwe'll probably want to reschedule our regular meeting: ~e'll talk options
on Wedensday. ,
:
The paving project keeps getting closer, and closer, imd:closer, to. completion., Last ,week's
snow was a gentle reminder for the contractor.
Wectnesday'~ meeting appears light.' We have a presentatlon ,from the SOS Committee
who are advocating a'County-wide mill levy increase for funds ~hat will'be used to :
'. '
purchase development rights. I'm l<;>oking forward t~their present~tion as there ha's .
, bee,n significant commun~ty debate about this issue! '.,
We have two. action items: a resolution opposing proposed amendment 21, the tax cut
amendment. This resolution will be hand~d-out on Wednesday. We also received ~
, petition for anne,xation for a 200 acres parcel located west of the ,railroad tracks. This
petition was'submitted by the Johns ~amily and KOELBEL.' We, need to set a public
hearing to consid~r the annexation. ,This petition will initiate a whole new. series ~f .
negotiations with KOEL~ELas it ,is their intent to add this land to their POD. Here we
go,. again..~
. Finally, I've' enclosed in the Board's packets a proposed contract forthe Town
Manager that I'm requesting an executive session to discuss.
Have a'fun weekend!

RESOLUTION NO
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING "T AXCUT 2000" ON THE
NOVEMBER, 2000 STATEWIDE BALLOT
WHEREAS, the Fraser Town Board wishes to officially oppose Colorado's "Taxcut
2000" Amendment, which will be before the State voters in November 2000; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Fraser firmly believes in representative democracy and citizen
participation in all forms of government; and
WHEREAS, the "Tilxcut 2000" amendment is a confusing document which will result in
chaos in government and years of expensive lawsuits designed to unravel the misleading
and poorly written language of the amendment~ and
WHEREAS, "Taxcut 2000" would significantly change the ability of the State and local
governments to fund the cost of services provided to citizens, especially those
governments that are dependent on property tax or State revenues. By reducing each
effected tax bill by $25 per bill, the amendment would essentially eliminate certain local
. government funding sources over time. In cases where local governments have little
diversity in funding, loss or reduction of a significant revenue source could result in that
government's inability to provide essential services; and
WHEREAS, Amendment 21 would potentially apply to a broad range of taxes and fees
imposed by governmental and quasi-governmental that provide important, necessary, and
desirous services to residents of Fraser. These entities include the Town of Fraser, Fraser
Sanitation District, Grand County, East Grand Fire District #4, Grand County Library
District, Fraser Valley Metropolitan Recreation District, and other special service districts
throughout Grand County; and
WHEREAS, the State Title Board estimates that the fiscal impact on property taxes in the
State of Colorado of this tax cut is approximately $114.4 million for tax bills due in 2002;
and
WHEREAS, the State Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) estimates that the fiscal
impact on sales taxes from utility charges in Colorado is a decrease of approximately
$39.1 million in 2001; and
WHEREAS, the State Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) estimates that the fiscal
impact on sales and use taxes from motor vehicles sales in Colorado is a reduction of
approximately $38.9 million in 200 I; and
.
#' \
<. .
. WHEREAS, the Office of State Planning estimates that the fiscal impact on sales tax on
food in Colorado to be a reduction of approximately $142.9 million in 2001; and
WHEREAS, the State Department of Local Affairs (DOL A) estimates that the fiscal
impact from reduction in specific ownership taxes in Colorado will be approximately
$58.2 million in 200 I; and
WHEREAS, the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act, c.R.S. 1-47-117 (l)(b)(ill)(A),
authorizes the Town's adoption ofa Resolution and taking a position of advocacy or
opposition on any issue pending before the electorate.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Fraser Town Board that:
Section 1. The Town Board, on behalf of its citizens, expresses its strong
opposition to Amendment 21, otherwise known as Initiative #205 or Tax Cut 2000, and
the Town Board urges its citizens to register to vote and to also oppose Amendment 21 at
the November 7,2000, state general election.
Section 2. This Resolution shall be effective immediately.
Approved and Passed this 4th day of October 2000, by a vote of
Yes and No.
