Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Re: Beebe Draw Metropolitan District Nos. 1 and 2, Request for Quinquennial Review Dear Commissioners: As you know, the Board of County Commissioners ("County") by Resolution dated April 29, 2009 required the Boards of Directors of Beebe Draw Farms Metropolitan District No. 1 ("District No. 1") and Beebe Draw Farms Metropolitan District No. 2 ("District No. 2") to submit to the County applications for quinquennial findings of reasonable diligence ("Quinquennial Application"). The original deadline to submit the written application to the County was July 6, 2009. On June 22, 2009, the County granted a request from District No. 1 and District No. 2 to extend the deadline to submit the written application to August 6, 2009. Since our request of June 11, 2009, the Districts have been working cooperatively with County staff, Jeff Hare and other members of the community in an effort to fully address concerns of the County and residents and to discuss potential solutions in the best interests of the community and the Districts. In addition, District No. 2 representatives have met almost weekly with its consultants who have been working diligently to prepare financial information to submit with the Quinquennial Application. The Executive Committee created by the Districts has also held numerous working sessions to review information and provide direction to the District Boards. Most recently, the Board of Directors of both District No. 1 and District No. 2 held a public meeting on July 30, 2009 to discuss the Quinquennial Application and potential solutions with the community. fool 52no2.00c Weld County Board of County Commissioners July 31, 2009 Page 2 We believe the Districts and the community have made great progress over the past few weeks and have furthered a positive relationship that we hope will result in solutions in the best interest of all involved. In order to continue to work with the community on issues raised, we respectfully request the deadline for responding to the Quinquennial Application be extended 45 days to September 21, 2009. We hope during that time to develop a solution to present jointly with the District residents. If, however, we are continuing positively with discussions, it may be necessary to request an additional extension. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Lyons; Rod and Lisa Gantenbein; John and Angie Powell; Mike Welch; Rod Gantenbein Subject: BDF Quinquennial Review Extension Bruce, I liked to voice my support for an extension on the quinquennial review process for Beebe Draw Farms Metro District. The discussions that are happening are healthy, productive, and hopeful. I think it makes sense to keep a short leash on the extensions to hold all parties accountable. My recommendation is that the extension be for 30 days. If all parties seem to be making good progress on the proposed restructuring and the 30 days doesn't seem sufficient to come to terms at a high level, then we can always request an additional extension. Let me know if you have any questions. I can be reached at 970-324-1450 (cell).
