(b) Summary of Description and Drawing of Improvements Proposed to be Constructed within 36 Months of January 1 of the Year of the Report ("Three Year CIP Plan"). A Three Year CIP Plan was not prepared by the District as of December 31, 2008, as preliminary planning and engineering was not completed as of year-end.

Among the proposed service providers that the District is expected to service are the Pioneer Regional Metropolitan District and Pioneer Metropolitan Districts Nos.1 —6 (collectively, the "Pioneer Districts"). The Service Plans for the Pioneer Districts were approved by Weld County on February 6, 2006. During 2008, the District continued with the engineering and planning aspects of wastewater service for the Pioneer Districts, including exploring the feasibility of providing coordinated wastewater services with other service providers. The utility plan and application for site location for the wastewater treatment facility that was submitted to the North Front Range Water Quality Planning Association (the "Association") on November 16, 2006, received conditional approval of the Association on April 26, 2007. No further activities regarding the wastewater treatment facilities were undertaken by the District as of December 31, 2008. With respect to water service, in February of 2006, the District filed in Water Division No. 1, an application for determination of rights to ground water in the not nontributary Arapahoe Aquifer underlying approximately 650 acres and in the nontributary Larmie-Fox Hills Aquifer underlying approximately 5,668 acres, which acreages overlap. A decree granting the 00145815 DOC v:31 W\Clients\66TServieeP\00145815 DOC application was entered on December 29, 2006 entitling the District to withdraw 5.7 acre feet per year from the not nontributary Arapahoe Aquifer and 1,281.9 acre feet per year from the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer subject to the terms of the decree. In 2008, the District prepared and submitted applications to the Groundwater Commission for a change of use for approximately 309.5 acre-feet of Lost Creek Basin alluvial water. The District also submitted export applications to the Lost Creek Ground Water Management District for export of approximately 561 acre-feet of Lost Creek Basin alluvial water. The District filed an Application for approval of a plan for augmentation including claims for conditional ground water rights, storage rights, change of water rights and appropriative rights of exchange in Case No, 06CW256, Water Division No. 1 on December 14, 2006. As of December 31. 2008, that case was pending before the Water Court. With respect to providing service to other service providers, the District completed the sale of Well 31652FP and associated water rights to the Town of Keenesburg ("Town") on July 26. 2006. The District entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the Town on December 7, 2006 regarding joint use and cost sharing for the pipeline and related facilities servicing said well. See Exhibit D herein for a complete listing of the agreements associated with this transaction. The District anticipates preparing the Three Year CIP Plan in conjunction with an overall feasibility study and comprehensive plan for water and wastewater services.

A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of a forecast information that is the representation of management and does not include evaluation of the support for the assumptions underlying the forecast. We have not examined the forecast and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the accompanying budget of revenue, expenditures, and fund balance/funds available or assumptions. Furthermore, there will usually be differences between the forecasted and actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material. We have no responsibility to update this report for events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report. The actual historical information for the year 2006 is presented for comparative purposes only. Such information is taken from the audit report of the District for the year ended December 31, 2006 as prepared by Mason Russell West, LLC, dated July 17, 2007, in which an unqualified opinion was expressed. Management has elected to omit the summary of significant accounting policies required by the guidelines for presentation of a forecast established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. If the omitted disclosures were included in the forecast, they might influence the user's conclusions about the District's results of operations for the forecasted periods. Accordingly, this forecast is not designed for those who are not informed about such matters.

Main St. PO Box 312 Keenesburg, CO 80643 • Re: Letter of Agreement between the Town of Keenesburg and Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation Metropolitan District acting by and through its Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation Metropolitan District Water Activity Enterprise regarding Keenesburg Well Water Transmission Line Dear Mayor Gray: The purpose of this Letter of Agreement is to set forth the understandings of the Town of Keenesburg ("Town") and the Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation Metropolitan District acting by and through its Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation Metropolitan District Water Activity Enterprise(the"District")with regard to the well water transmission line being installed by the Town from Well No. 31652 FP to the Town's water system (the "Keenesburg Well Water Transmission Line") and a proposed water storage tank site. Keenesburg has entered into a construction contract with Northern Colorado Constructors, Inc. for construction of the Keenesburg Well Water Transmission Line ("Construction Contract"). The District and Keenesburg have discussed various planning, design, engineering and construction issues with respect to the proposed District water system and the Town water system improvements, and the Town and the District desire to set forth certain agreements with respect to the Keenesburg Well Water Transmission Line which have resulted in a change order estimate. In order to provide for greater safety, economies for delivery of water in the respective systems and flexibility in planning and implementing future integration of the systems if (00089192.DOC va) necessary, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the Town and the District hereby agree as follows: 1. Pursuant to the change order, the District agrees to pay for the cost of four (4) fittings necessary to enable the District to access the Keenesburg Well Water Transmission Line for use of interim capacity ("Access Point"). The Town engineer shall consult with the District engineer regarding the type of fittings and related appurtenances to be installed. The Town shall approve all change orders to the Construction Contract necessary for such approved fittings, and the cost of such change orders shall be the sole responsibility of the District. Northern Colorado Constructors, Inc., has agreed to invoice the District directly for such change orders; the District shall pay to Northern Colorado Constructors the full amount of each invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt. 2. The Town shall own operate and maintain all portions of the Keenesburg Well Water Transmission Line, including the Access Point. The Town Shall take all steps necessary to secure initial and fmal acceptance of the Access Point improvements and secure such warranties as required by the Town. The parties agree to enter into an easement agreement whereby the Town shall grant the District a perpetual, non-exclusive easement to access and utilize the Access Point for purposes of integrating the Keenesburg Well Water Transmission Line with the proposed District water system and the use by the District of the Keenesburg Well Water Transmission Line at such time as is necessary to carry out the intent and purposes of this Letter of Agreement. 3. The District and the Town agree to coordinate in the planning and design of a proposed District water storage tank site for the installation of a water storage tank that is anticipated to mutually benefit the District and the Town in the operation of their respective water systems and the provision of services. 4. The Town and the District further agree to enter into negotiations for compensation for benefits to the District and Town resulting from construction of the Keenesburg Well Water Transmission Line and the Access Point and the benefits to the District for use of line capacity water storage site and such easements as necessary to facilitate its use by the District. 5, Upon execution of this Letter of Agreement,the District shall post a deposit in the amount of$3,000 with the Town, which deposit shall be used to pay for all costs incurred by the Town, including engineering and legal services, associated with the Access Point, this Letter of Agreement, the proposed District water storage tank site, and any other agreement or work contemplated by the parties herein or deemed necessary by the Town to facilitate construction and use by the District of the Access Point. If the deposit is depleted prior to the completion of the Access Point and other work and further agreements contemplated herein, the District shall promptly deposit additional monies with the Town in a mutually agreeable amount. The parties understand and agree that the amount deposited with the Town is an estimate of initial costs, and that the District shall promptly reimburse the Town's actual costs pursuant to this Letter of Agreement through the initial deposit and additional deposits, if necessary. If such additional {00089192.DOC v:1) monies are not deposited when necessary, suspension or termination of work may result until such time as the additional monies are deposited. 6. Upon the Town's receipt of an invoice authorized pursuant to this Letter of Agreement, the Town shall promptly submit a copy thereof to the District. Back-up documentation for each invoice shall be furnished to the District upon request. Upon approval of the invoice by the District, the Town shall disburse monies from the deposited funds in payment of such invoice. The District's failure to respond to the invoice within thirty (30) days after the date the invoice is submitted to the District by the Town shall constitute approval to make such disbursement. Any amounts remaining in the deposited funds following completion or termination of the Access Point and related work shall be returned to the District. 7. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as creating a multiple fiscal year obligation on the part of the District within the meaning of Colorado Constitution, Article X, Section 20, and the District's obligations hereunder are expressly conditioned upon annual appropriation by the District's Board of Directors. The District reasonably believes that funds can be obtained sufficient to meet its obligations pursuant to this Letter of Agreement and hereby covenants that it will do all things lawfully within its power to obtain, maintain and properly request and pursue funds from which payments may be made. If, notwithstanding such good faith effort, the District Board does not approve funds to be paid to the Town, the District shall provide the Town with sixty (60) days advance written notice of such non-appropriation. Upon receipt by the Town of such notice,the Town shall have the option, but not the obligation, to cease work on the Access Point and related matters contemplated herein, and the District will not be obligated to pay for any costs incurred by the Town on or after the sixtieth (60th) day following receipt by the Town of the notice of non-appropriation. 8. Each party shall from time to time take such steps as are reasonable and necessary in order to effectuate the full intent of this Letter of Agreement.
