RE: EIAF #07107 - Weld County Road 49 Extension
Dear Chairman Garcia:
The state Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Advisory Committee met recently to review
requests for grant and loans from state severance tax and mineral lease revenues. These
revenues are derived from oil, gas, carbon dioxide, coal and metals extracted in Colorado.
Your project was reviewed based on a variety of factors such as its connection to energy
impact, degreeof need, measurable outcomes, amount of request, relationship to community •
goals, level of local match and community support, management capacity and readiness to go.
The review process is now complete and I am offering to enter into a contract for a grant in the
amount of $1,000,000. We anticipate these grant funds will be from state severance tax
proceeds which may cause you to go to election to receive and spend these funds. You should
confer with your legal and budget advisors to determine if such an election is necessary.
Please contact Don Sandoval at (970) 679-4501 for information on how to proceed. As you
know, no state funds should be obligated before a grant contract is fully executed. Expenditures
made prior to the contract being fully executed cannot be reimbursed by the state. This award
offer is good for one year from the date of this letter.
Good luck with your project. Let us know if we can be of any assistance.
Reeves _row
