The Department of Planning Services in conjunction with the Weld County Attorney's Office and
Weld County Finance Department recommend that the Planning Commission approve the
attached Service Plan for St. Vrain Sanitation District for the following reasons:
It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Section 32-1-202(2) and Section 32-1-203(2.5), C.R.S. as follows:
1. Section 32-1-203(2) states the Board of County Commissioners shall approve the
Service Plan unless evidence satisfactory to the Board of each of the following is
presented:
(a) There is sufficient existing and projected need for organized service in the area
•
to be serviced by the proposed special district.
The Amended Service Plan allows for the expansion of the existing treatment
facilities to meet the growing needs resulting from the inclusion of territories that
formerly were within the now dissolved Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District
and the Dacono Sanitation District, as well as to meet the projected development
within the Firestone, Frederick and Dacono planning area. The expansion of the
proposed service area reflects municipal and county development trends.
Weld County Finance and Administration has reviewed the Service Plan
Amendment from a financial perspective only. The Finance Department has no
objections to the approval of the plan as stated in their referral dated December
14, 2010. The plan appears to be financially viable as presented. Based on the
information presented the district will have the financial ability to discharge the
debt on a reasonable basis and not require excessive new rates and/or fees.
The district is financially capable of providing economical and sufficient services
to the area within the existing and proposed boundaries.
The proposal identifies that the St. Vrain Sanitation District will finance,
construct, equip, complete, manage, operate, provide, and maintain public
improvements and services throughout the District, and to generate revenue
sufficient to pay on-going expenses and debt service costs incurred by the
Amended Service Plan

• District.
The proposed public improvements to be financed, acquired, installed and
constructed to serve the St. Vrain Sanitation are as follows: Storm Drainage and
Sanitary Sewage systems. St. Vrain is a growing district and has reached near
capacity limits that trigger the State Health Department mandated need to 1)
begin planning for additional capacity; and 2) begin building additional capacity.
With the consolidations and growing customer base, these enhancements are
critical to the long term needs of the District
The original Service Plan for St. Vrain Sanitation District was approved by the
Board of County Commissioners on October 16, 1985.
(b) The existing service in the area to be served by the proposed special district is
inadequate for present and project needs.
The applicant has indicated in their application that there are no other
governmental agencies in existence within the area which have the legal and
financial ability to undertake the financing, design, and completion of the public
improvements needed to serve the Service Area Boundary.

• District did not express objections to the Service Plan Amendment.
The City of Longmont indicates in their referral dated December 29, 2010 that St
Vrain Sanitation District has an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the City
of Longmont. This IGA defines service area boundaries between the St. Vrain
Sanitation District and Longmont: specifically for the areas around Union
reservoir. The IGA was executed in October 2002.
There is a small overlap of service area boundary with the Town of Platteville.
The applicant indicates that service to this area will be who is first able to provide
service , St. Vrain Sanitation or the Town of Platteville.
(c) The proposed special district is capable of providing economical and sufficient
service to the area within its proposed boundaries.
Weld County Finance and Administration has reviewed the Service Plan

(d) The area to be included in the proposed special district has, or will have, the
financial ability to discharge the proposed indebtedness on a reasonable basis.
As previously stated, Weld County Finance and Administration has reviewed the
Service Plan Amendment from a financial perspective only. The Finance
Department has no objections to the approval of the plan as stated in their
referral dated December 14, 2010. The plan appears to be financially viable as
presented. Based on the information presented the district will have the financial
ability to discharge the debt on a reasonable basis and not require excessive
new rates and/ or fees. The district is financially capable of providing economical
and sufficient services to the area within the existing and proposed boundaries.
2. Section 32-1-203(2.5) states "the Board of County Commissioners may disapprove the
service plan if evidence satisfactory to the Board of any of the following, at the discretion
of the Board, is not permitted:"
(a) Adequate service is not, or will not be, available to the area through the county
or other existing municipal or quasi-municipal corporations, including existing
special districts, within a reasonable time and on a comparable basis.
The applicant has indicated in their application that there are no other
governmental agencies in existence within the area which have the legal and
• financial ability to undertake the expanded service area as amended and
approved by North Front Range Water Quality Planning Association.
The North Front Range Water Quality Planning Association referral dated
December 29, 2010 indicates that the existing 208 service area for the District
has been approved by the Association and was included as part of the District's
approved Utility Plan and the 2007 Update to the Areawide Water Quality
Management Plan (the 208 Plan).
The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment in their referral
dated January 6, 2011 indicated that the North Front Range Water Quality
Planning Association approved the site application for the expanded treatment
facility on August 26, 2010. Weld County approved the expansion on August 17,
2010.
(b) The facility and service standards of the proposed special district are compatible
with the facility and service standards of each county within which the proposed
special district is to be located and each municipality which is an interested party
under Section 32-1-204(1).
Service levels and facilities of the District would likely match those of the County,
though exact levels of service are not precisely defined by the Plans or
associated documentation.
(c) The proposal is in substantial compliance with a master plan adopted pursuant to
• Amended Service Plan
St. Vrain Sanitation District
2O1O-XX

• Section 30-28-106, C.R.S.
The proposed Service Plan is in conformance with Article XIV of the Weld
County Code.
(d) The proposal is in substantial compliance with any duly adopted county, regional,
or state long range water quality management plan for the area.
North Front Range Water Quality Planning Association reviewed this application
and granted approval of their amendment to the District Service Plan and
Boundary Change in 2007. The Water Quality Control Commission, a citizen
board appointed by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the State Senate,
defines water quality regulation and policies in Colorado. The Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment administers the Water Quality
Program throughout the State. Further, as part of the Larimer-Weld Region,
Area-wide Water Quality Management Plan, the County has been identified as
the responsible management agency for all areas in the County outside the
urban service areas. As a management agency, the County has a responsibility
to exercise land use authority based on water quality considerations. This
responsibility is partly fulfilled by evaluating water quality considerations
associated with land use proposals in accordance with the standards set forth in
this Chapter and Chapter 23 of this Code." (Weld County Code Ordinance 2002-
6). The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment in their
referral dated January 6, 2011 indicated that the North Front Range Water
• Quality Planning Association approved the site application for the expanded
treatment facility on August 26, 2010. Weld County approved the expansion on
August 17, 2010
(e) The creation of the proposed special district will be in the best interests of the
area proposed to be served.
Section 22-3-40.A, P.Goal 1. states "Promote efficient and cost-effective
delivery of public facilities and services. Section 22-3-50.A.1 states "P.Policy
1.1. Encourage consolidation of public facilities or services and coordination
between providers should be encouraged to avoid duplication of costs and
promote efficiency;
The existing Special District and proposed Amended Service Plan will be in the
best interests of the area proposed to be served and is in the interest of Weld
County.
3. Section 2-14-10 of the Weld County Codes states "The County establishes the following
as its policy for the review and approval or disapproval of Service Plans, including any
amendment thereof, for Metropolitan Districts and other Title 32 Special Districts."
(a) The County generally accepts the formation of districts where it is demonstrated
the formation of a district is needed to provide public services or facilities to local
development and will result in benefits to existing or future residents of the
County and the District. (Section 2-14-10.8)

• As indicated above, there is a demonstrated need to provide services, because
the proposed Service Area Boundary reflects areas with potential municipal and
county development that are presently inadequate for present and projected
needs because no such service exists.
(b) The Service Plan shall enumerate and describe all powers requested on behalf
of the district. Demonstration of the need or benefit of each power is required.
Powers which are not clearly needed will not be approved in the service plan.
(Section 2-14-20.C)
As previously discussed, there is a demonstrated need to provide services,
because the proposed Service Area Boundary reflects areas with potential
municipal and county development areas with potential municipal and county
development that are presently inadequate for present and projected needs
because no such service exists.
(c) Any Intergovernmental Agreement which is required, or known at the time of
formation of the District to likely be required to fulfill the purposes of the District,
must be described in the Service Plan, along with supporting rationale. The
Service Plan shall provide that execution of intergovernmental agreements by
the District that are not described in the Service Plan shall require 45 day notice
publication and written notice to the County pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(b),
C.R.S. (Section 2-14-20.D)
• The applicant states that the Sanitation district has been at the forefront of
regional partnerships as exhibited by the consolidation of the former Tri-Area
Sanitation District, the Dacono Sanitation District and the current agreements
with the East 1-25 Sanitation District to provide service assistance to their new
district serving areas north of Highway 66 and east of 1-25. On-going assistance
with the Town of Mead for providing service to a portion of their community as
well as the Town of Erie, both in the area of the Interstate 25 corridor.
The City of Longmont indicates in their referral dated December 29, 2010 that St.
Vrain Sanitation District has an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the City
of Longmont. This IGA defines service area boundaries between the St. Vrain
Sanitation District and Longmont: specifically for the areas around Union
reservoir. The IGA was executed in October 2002.
(d) The Service Plan shall include the description of any planned inclusion into, or
exclusion of property from, the District's boundaries. The Service Plan shall
provide that inclusions or executions by the District that are not described in the
Service Plan shall require 45 day notice publication and written notice to the
County pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(b), C.R.S. (Section 2-14-20. E)

• The proposed Plan complies Section 2-14-20.E of the Weld County Code by
stating written notice will be provided to the County pursuant to Section 32-1-
207(3)(b), C.R.S of any action or activity which the District believes is not
permitted by the Service Plan Amendment.
(e) The Service Plan shall describe any planned extraterritorial service agreement.
The Service Plan shall provide that any extraterritorial service agreements by the
District that are not described in the Service Plan shall require 45 day notice
publication and written notice to the County pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(b),
C.R.S. (Section 2-14-20.F)
The Plan as proposed does not intend to furnish services or facilities outside of
its boundaries, except as authorized in the service plan or by intergovernmental
agreement in compliance with Section 2-14-20.F of the Weld County Code.
The District's failure to comply with Section 2-14-20.F of the Weld County Code
prior to providing any exterritorial services shall be considered a material
modification of the service plan.
(f) The Service Plan shall outline any anticipated plans or needs for the exercise, by
the District, of its power of eminent domain. The Service Plan will contain
language limiting the use of the District's power of eminent domain to carry out
the District's essential functions and services as well to implement the intent of
the "Primary Infrastructure Plan"as defined in the Model Service Plan described
• in Section 2-14-60. The use of eminent domain will be undertaken strictly in
compliance with State laws. The Service Plan shall provide that use of eminent
domain or change in the Primary Infrastructure Plan by the District not described
in the Service Plan shall require 45 day notice publication and written notice to
the County pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(b), C.R.S. (Section 2-14-20.G)
The proposed Plan allows for the expansion of treatment facilities up to, and
including, 15mg/d to meet the growing needs resulting from the inclusion of
territories that formerly were within the now dissolved Weld County Tri-Area
Sanitation District and the Dacono Sanitation District, as well as to meet the
projected development within the Firestone, Frederick and Dacono Planning
areas; and to amend the proposed service area of the Sanitation District to
reflect municipal and county development trends. Saint Vrain Sanitation District
has a long history of providing sanitary sewer services to the southwest Weld
County region. This proactive effort ensures that future growth demand will be
able to be met in the region. The District will continue to work with other area
communities and districts to provide a regional approach to sanitary sewer
needs.
(g) The Service Plan shall restrict the District's debt service mill levy authorization to
50 mills (the "Debt Service Mill Levy Cap). The Service Plan shall restrict the
District's total aggregate mill levy (debt service mill levy plus operations and

• maintenance mill levy) to sixty-five (65) mill (the `Aggregate Mill Levy Cap').
(Section 2-14-20.H)
As previously stated, Weld County Finance and Administration has reviewed the
Service Plan Amendment from a financial perspective only. The Finance
department has no objections to the approval of the plan as stated in their
referral dated December 14, 2010. The plan appears to be financially viable as
presented. Based on the information presented the district will have the financial
ability to discharge the debt on a reasonable basis and not require excessive
new rates and/ or fees. The district is financially capable of providing economical
and sufficient services to the area within the existing and proposed boundaries.
In October 2010 the District sold just over 16 million dollars in revenue bonds to
aid in funding the proposed wastewater treatment plant improvements. The total
cost of these improvements will require the use of these funds as well as being
supplemented by approximately 10-11 million dollars from current fund balance.
The District received a AA and AA- rating from Fitch and from Standard & Poors
rating agencies respectively. The cash management of the District in addition to
the rating received resulted in an all inclusive cost of financing interest rate of
3.63%.
To ensure the district's ability to make debt service payments, the District has set
up a reserve account that will equal the previous year's operating expenses.
• While this will insure that debt payments will be made, it also insures that the
District will continually have available the resources it needs to operate on a day
to day basis.
(h) The Service Plan shall require that 30 days prior to an election thereon,
proposed ballot questions for a formation election, debt authorization, or de-
Brucing will be submitted to Weld County for filing and review. Weld County
shall have the right to object to any ballot questions not in compliance with the
Service Plan as a major modification of the District's Service Plan pursuant to
Section 32-1-207(3)(a), C.R.S. (Section 2-14-20.J)
The Service Plan states that, "All ballot questions authorizing indebtedness will
be filed with the County no later than 30 days before any election held therefore
in accordance with Section 2-14-20.J of the Weld County Code."
(i) It is the intent of Weld County that "citizen/resident"control of Districts be
encouraged to occur as early as possible. (Section 2-14-40.A)
Article 32 of the Colorado Revised Statues provides guidance related to inclusion
of a customer into a service area or 208 boundaries. A landowner must petition
to be included in the St. Vrain Sanitation District and, after proper application and
notice, a public hearing is held during a regularly scheduled Board of Director

• meeting for the St. Vrain Sanitation District,
Inclusion in itself does not automatically result in service to a resident(s).
However, inclusion results in eligibility for service. For many individual property
owners inclusion is sought when a septic systems fails and infrastructure is
within four hundred (400) feet of the property.
(j) The Service Plan shall provide for the dissolution of the District after the District's
debts and financial obligations are fully defeased and the District has completed
all of its operations and maintenance responsibilities. A district with long-term,
on-going operations and maintenance will not be obligated to dissolve.
However, the Service Plan must provide that in the event said obligations are
someday undertaken by another party, or are otherwise no longer the
responsibility of the District, it shall be required to dissolve. (Section 2-14-50)
The District understands that it cannot be dissolved without first complying with
the provisions of Section 2-14-50 of the Weld County Code.
As discussed, the Special District request is scheduled to be heard by the Planning
Commission on January 18, 2011, at 1:30 p.m. The hearing will take place at the Greeley
Planning Commission Hearing Room located at 918 Tenth Street, Greeley, Colorado 80631.
This letter and recommendation will be forwarded to the Weld County Planning Commission as
