2008 ANNUAL REPORT TO
SOUTHERN WELD ADVISORY BOARD
Pursuant to Section II.C of the Service Plan as approved by the Board of County
Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado on August 25, 2004, the Resource Colorado Water
and Sanitation Metropolitan District ("District") is required to provide, on an annual basis, the
following report to the Southern Weld Advisory Board. Additional questions regarding the
information set forth in this report may be directed to the office of the District Manager,
Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation Metropolitan District, 141 Union Blvd., Lakewood, CO
80228, (303) 987-0835, during regular business hours and pursuant to the Rules and Regulations
adopted by the District. All information provided in this summary is through December 31,
2008.
1. Capital Improvement Progress Report.
(a) Summary of Description and Mapping of Completed Improvements from
Date of Organization through December 31 of the Year Prior to the Year of the Report.
No improvements were completed as of December 31, 2008. Please see response
in 1(b) below.
(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. Since its
organization in 2004 through December 31, 2008, the District has been focusing on planning,
engineering, administrative and legal matters related to the provision of water and wastewater
improvements and services to service providers in Weld County. 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. The District
anticipates that the Three Year CIP Plan may be available in 2009.

Accountant's Report
Board of Directors
Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation Metropolitan District
Weld County, Colorado
We have compiled the accompanying forecasted budget of revenue, expenditures, and fund
balance/funds available of the Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation Metropolitan District for
the General and Enterprise Funds for the year ending December 31, 2008, including the
forecasted estimate of comparative information for the year ending December 31, 2007, in
accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.
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.
We are not independent with respect to the Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation
Metropolitan District.

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.
