The Northwest Colorado Council afGovernments WATER QUALITY AND QUANTITY COMMITTEE (QQ) f PURPOSE The Water Quality and Quantity Committee (QQ) comprises towns & counties. In addition, water and sanitation districts in the region participate in QQ activities. QQ's purpose is to enable its members to protect and enhance the quality of our region's waters while facilitating the responsible use of those resources for the good of all Colorado citizens and its environment. QQ monitors water development activities and legislative initiatives that affect water quality or quantity in the basin of origin. Regularly scheduled meetings of the QQ Committee operate as a forum for policy formulation and strategy decision-making by QQ Committee members. The QQ Committee staff provides members with monitoring of legislative activities, water quality information, litigation and advocacy support, activity coordination, cooperative problem-solving assistance, transmountain diversion oversight, and technical assistance to further intergovernmental cooperation and increase political clout with state and federal agencies. HISTORY The QQ Committee was fIrst established in 1978 as a cost savings measure designed to coordinate legal activities regarding transmountain diversions for the headwater counties. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, elected officials from headwater communities found it difficult, if not impossible, to have a voice in state water issues that affected their communities. Today, QQ has worked to turn litigation and challenges which characterized the 1980s into new efforts promoting cooperative problem-solving approaches to water in the 1990s. The QQ Committee also worked to protect water quality through improved land use practices and changes in water policy on the West Slope. Other QQ activities include the following: . QQ staff assisted in the drafting of HB 1041 regulations for member counties and successfully defended the validity of these regulations spanning 10 years. . QQ defended Eagle County's denial of a 1041 permit for the Homestake II diversion project. . QQ participated in Denver's system-wide EIS and the Two Forks permitting process. . QQ represents member jurisdictions in the State's hearings on adopting the Anti- degradation Rule, the State's 401 rulemaking process, and stream classifIcation and standards setting. . NWCCOG and QQ pushed for a regional quality management plan linking water quality and quantity which was later adopted by the Water Quality Control' Commission. . QQ initiated and administered the Colorado River Headwaters Forum. 1 ýÿ ., . . . . . QQ developed state of the art water quality performance standards for land development activities. This project was the result of an outreach conducted by QQ and NWCCOG to identify needs and issues of the headwater communities in the water quality region. . QQ worked with the ski areas to gain their support for the Model Water Quality Protection Standards. . QQ has worked with and continues to work with the towns and counties to incorporate the model water quality regulations into their respective land use codes. . QQ conducted a rate study for all the water and sanitation districts in the QQ region. . NWCCOG and QQ worked with DRCOG to impose a statewide ban on high phosphate laundry detergents. . QQ participated in all 1997 Legislative Interim Committee meetings on Water to influence 1998 legislation. . QQ has successfully worked to block takings legislation that would impact protection of water resources in the last four years. . QQ successfully blocked legislative anempts to gut 1041 authority. CURRENT LEGISLATIVE INTERESTS QQ opposes legislation that would hamper a local government's authority to protect water resources within its jurisdiction. QQ actively seeks to protect HB 1041 powers and to ensure that they are not weakened. Water quality protection and watershed management remain strong priorities for QQ's members as these issues are directly tied to their recreation-based economies. CURRENT QQ PROJECTS QQ has several ongoing projects in 1998 that are listed below. . QQ initiated the Upper Colorado River Basin Study and Collaborative Effort with Summit, Grand Counties, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, Middle Park Water Conservancy District, Nonhem Colorado Water Conservancy District, and Denver Water Department. The Study will examine hydrological conditions in the basin and related growth impacts and try to develop a coordinated approach to solving attendant problems. . QQ will be working with legislators on the Water Resources Development Bill (HB 98-1288) to ensure that Headwater Counties' concerns are addressed. . QQ and NWCCOG staff will be tracking Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) issues to determine how this emerging issue affects our members. . QQ and NWCCOG staff will assist members comply with Phase II Stormwater regulations. . QQ will be working on a video addressing transbasin diversions and how they impact the West Slope and the headwaters region. The video will be used primarily as an educational tool for West Slope residents and Front Range Legislators. 2 ýÿ "'*' t. . r . .

Box 120/153 Fraser Avenue Fraser, Colorado 80442 (970) 726-5491 FAX Une: (970) 726-5518 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor & Trustees From: Chuck Date: August 28, 1998 Subject: Muse Drive Special Improvement District Enclosed are several dOcUments'related to the Byers Vista SID:, ., a copy of the original letter that went out last fall; . ' . . a map showing you responded to the letter and how; " .. .... . two resolutions stating your intent to form the SID, one that has the property owners. ':.. , pay all costs associated with the iinprovements and a second in which the Town pic1cs: , up some costs: Several things have changed.since I wrote the original letter (a little understatement) 'one of which is that we have not changed how we account for our water plant investment fees: 1 thought last:.., '. fall that we'd have a water plant investment fee that recognized system developmentfees.and.,', water resource fees separately. So how the numbers get apportioned to the improvements has. changed. Two people have specifically asked to be dropped from the district: Block 1 lot 1 (~vho, wants to access their property off Norgren) and Block 2, lot 2 (who partially improved theroa.d' and laid a water line as part of a plat approval). Like many of the projects we deal with, this one is goofy. One person has a long (250 feet)-3/4" service lines stretching from Norgren to their property. Another has a branch off this same service line that services their home. Art Olson was required to extend a 6" water main from Norgren to the edge of his property as part of his plat approval. Others may have given an easement for, they hoped, "free" access to Fraser's water plant. I have tried to craft an SID that distributes costs fairly, is legally and ethically defensible, and that builds infrastructure that serves Fraser's residents well. Ifwe can pass it, I like the resolution that assigns all but $4,000 of the costs to Byers Vista residents. However, if the ordinance is challenged by persons who are paying more than 50% of the total projects costs object to the costs, the SID does not form. As such, the decision how to move forward (hmmm, whether or not to move forward. . .) is a policy question: is it worth $18,000 (or whatever number we end up with) to feel good about our infrastructure serving 12 lots? Rod McGowan is reviewing the resolution -- I'm sure he'll have an opinion (or two) to share on the issue. . . . . , Dear Byers Vista Subdivision property owner: In 1973 the Byers Vista subdivision was annexed into Fraser. The subdivision's public improvements (ro d, water, sewer and other utilities) were never completed and need to be addressed. Fraser i s proposing a special improvement district (i.e. general improvement district) that would com pi t e the town required public improvements for your subdivision. Fraser is willing to adminis er this project, and would charge you for your share of the improvements by a special assessmen (which would be billed with your property taxes) to be paid over ten years, pending your feeli gs about the proposal. However, before i itiating any work or the formal statutory process, the Town Board would like an indication of th level of support for this project. Here is what the Town is proposing: Fall, 1997: Preliminary (nonbinding) approval from Byers Vista lot and/or homeowners that they would like to see this project completed. Preliminary engineering for drainage, hard surfacing, and water line extension. Coordinate with other utility providers. Winter, 19 7: The scope of the project will be completed and reported to Byers Vista lot and/or homeowners identifying approximate project costs (engineering plus construction by lot), payments terms, and etc. The first public hearing wiJ) be scheduled and, if the district is not opposed by the owners who will be assessed more than one-half of the entire project's costs, the Board will adopt a: resolution to proceed with the district. WinterlSpri g, 1998: Final engineering will be completed and notice of a public hearing on the construction of the improvements will be held. More detailed project infonnation wilt be available and again, if the project is not opposed by owners who will be assessed more than one-half of the project's costs, the Board will adopt an ordinance to finalize the district's formation. Final assessments will be determined and forwarded to Grand County's Assessor for payment with your 1998 property taxes (which are due in 1999). Summer, 19 8 Construction improvements will begin and be completed. . .. . . Page Two Byers Vista Subdi ision Below is an a ro imation of the project scope and cost. Please note that the Town is covering the additional fina cing, legal, and administrative costs associated with this project. I) plete Muse Drive to Town standards: $25,000 Muse Drive would be constructed by Fraser and paid for by Byers Vista owners over a ten year period. Road improvements may be based on a linear foot formula but for simplicity, the following is based on equal payments by the 12 lots that benefit from the improvements: Project cost: $25,000 Financed by Town for 10 years: $2,500 annually ~plit by 12 lots: $208 each Total over 10 years $2,080 2) Ext nd water line: $16,000 The water line extension will be paid by your "tap" fee. 3) Ext nsion and undergrounding of other utilities: costs may vary These costs, if applicable, would be set by the utility company. Upon completion 0 this project the Town would take over the maintenance of Muse Drive, including plowing. In April, 1998, the Fraser Board will also be asking Fraser residents to increase the Town' debt level in order to "hard surface" Fraser's streets. More on the hard surfacing project w 11 be available at a later date. As mentioned abov , the Town would like a non-binding indication of whether or not we should continue planning t is project. Please mark the enclosed post card either <<yes" or "no" and drop it in the mail. If you have questio s about this proposal, please contact me at 970-726-5491.

We've provided a background piece, with particular focus on the direct benefit to municipalities of an increased HUTF share; a sample resolution for municipalities to use for supporting the measure; and a listing of the total amount of additional HUTF each municipality would receive with full funding over the entire 5 years. We encourage each entity to, at a minimum for budgeting purposes, identify how it could spend the additional HUTF revenue, as well as to consider adopting a resolution supporting this League- supported measure. We will be using this handout at our forthcoming district meetings around the state over the next couple of months. We will also be sending this, or a modified version, to each municipality later in September. enclosure ýÿ , . CML . COLORADO I\1UNICIPAl LEAGUE 1660 Lincoln Street, Suite 2100.

The General Assembly has referred this League-supported ballot issUe to the voters. The proposal allows the state to use the first $200 million of the state's TABOR surplus revenues for transportation and education capital construction needs. Upon approval, up to $200 million a year for five years, or $1 billion of the state's estimated $2.1 billion of TABOR excess revenues, will be used as follows: 50% for state and local transportation needs; 30% for kindergarten through 121h grade capital construction needs; and 20% for higher education capital construction needs. Transportation revenues to the state will further accelerate the completion of CDOT' s 28 high priority projects. Transportation revenues to each local government will be available for locally selected projects to help address the $5 billion of unfunded local transportation needs. The State Board ofEducation will prioritize requests for the school construction funds based on safety and health hazards, lower relative property values, enrollment growth, local funding effort, and integration of technology. Higher education construction funds will be distn"buted by the General Assembly to help address the state universities' and community colleges' $1 billion backlog of capital, deferred maintenance, and technological needs. Transportation benefits. ./ Provides an additional $500 million of transportation revenues over the next five years - $300 million to CDOT, $110 million to counties, and $90 million to municipalities ./ Increases municipal HUTF revenues by approximately 20% for the next five years. ./ "De-Bruces" these additional revenues, allowing the state and local governments to spend these moneys outside their respective TABOR revenue and spending limits. Why more trans-portation money is needed. II' Our roads are deteriorating, potholes are increasing, congestion is paralyzing commuter traffic, and it's time to do something about it. II' This uses growth-related revenues to solve growth-related problems. ./ Provides critically needed capital construction revenues without a tax increase. ./ Local governments' unfunded transportation needs are extensive and despite recent increases in state and federal transportation funding for the state, local governments have received no such additional financial support for transportation. ./ Local governments are responsible for over 80% of the roads in Colorado, 4000 bridges, and 32 public transportation systems. . . What can municipal officials do? Municipal officials can and should become actively involved in the public discussion of this ballot issue, but only with careful attention being given to the restrictions imposed by the Fair Campaign Practices Act (C.RS. 1-45-117). Specifically, municipal officials may: ./ Adopt a resolution supporting passage of the statewide ballot issue. The resolution may be distributed through "established customary means, other than paid advertising, by which information about other proceedings" of the governing body is "regularly provided to the public" . (such as via a cable television channel, municipal newsletter, etc.). It is generally recognized that it is permissible for staff to spend public resources developing the resolution for passage by the governing body. This includes the information that is the foundation of the resolution which is presented in the "whereas" paragraphs that precede the "now be it resolved" portion of the resolution. The resolution could identify municipal and regional projects that would be funded with the increased revenues. Look to your underfunded maintenance programs or unfunded, long-range capital improvement programs to identify projects that could be more adequately funded or accelerated. Consider using a public process to identify priorities for using the additional funds. Also identify projects/corridor improvements from CDOT' s "Strategic Transportation Projects" list (attached) that would benefit your municipality or region. ./ Network with interested groups in your community (such as the local Chamber of Commerce, economic development groups, Rotary, Kiwanis, League of Women Voters, etc.), and speak out on the issue, through letters to the editor, op-ed pieces in the local paper and speeches to local groups on your own time. You might also consider working collectively with county official, public school officials, and community college or university officials on your own time. It is critical to recognize that the Fair Campaign Practices Act does not limit campaign advocacy by public officials; what the Act does limit is expenditure of public funds in support of this advocacy. Thus, you should scrupulously avoid use of public supplies and equipment (such as the copy machine at town hall or paper purchased with public funds) or use of publicly compensated time to engage in campaign advocacy. The Fair Campaign Practices Act contains various provisions that may apply, depending upon what actions are taken by certain municipal officials in connection with a ballot issue campaign. For this reason, it is always a good idea to check with your municipal attorney in order to confirm that any contemplated campaign activity will not run afoul of the restrictions in the Act. Municipal transDortation revenues over the five years. In order to assist you in how these funds could be used locally, we have provided an estimated total amount of additional HUTF revenues that each municipality would receive for the entire :five vear period. The calculation assumes the full $200 million is available, and uses the current internal distribution percentage share (which is recalculated annually).
