Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80632 RE: Inclusion of Property within the Boundaries of Anheuser Busch Park and Recreation District Dear Commissioners: On November 24, 2008, the Board of Directors of Anheuser Busch Park and Recreation District (the "District") received a petition for the inclusion of certain property (the "Inclusion Property") into the District, a copy of which is included for your reference. The District currently exists entirely within the boundaries of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, in Larimer County. The Board of Directors of the District anticipates that it will hold a public hearing on the petition for inclusion on December 30, 2008. The Inclusion Property is entirely within unincorporated Weld County. The purpose of this letter is to provide the notice required pursuant to § 32-1-207(2), C.R.S., which states as follows: [T]he inclusion of property that is located in a county or municipality with no other territory within the special district may constitute a material modification of the service plan....In the event that a special district changes its boundaries to include territory located in a county...with no other territory within the special district, the special district shall notify the board of county commissioners of such county...of such inclusion. The board of county commissioners...may review such inclusion and, if it determines that the inclusion constitutes a material modification, may require the governing body of the special district to file a modification of its service plan.... The District is a quasi -municipal corporation that was organized to provide for the ongoing operation and maintenance of pre-existing active and passive park and recreational 700 17th Street, Suite 22001 Denver, CO 180202 p: (303) 285-5320 I f: (303) 285-5330 I www.miller-rosenbluth.com Weld County Board of County Commissioners RE: Inclusion of Property within the Boundaries of Anheuser Busch Park and Recreation District December 8, 2008 Page 2 facilities and to provide corresponding park and recreational services for the general public. Such active park and recreation facilities include a ball field and walking trails. Further, the District provides passive facilities and services within its present boundaries including, a wildlife habitat and agriculturalecological research area. The District intends to work closely with other governmental entities, such as Fort Collins and Colorado State University, to further examine and develop the ecological and educational prospects that the nature preserves and wildlife habitats located within its boundaries provide to the general public. A copy of the District's service plan is included for your reference. The Inclusion Property is located within the experimental farm owned and operated by Anheuser Busch, but the Inclusion Property itself is a designated wildlife habitat and research area. The Inclusion Property is currently part of the certified Wildlife Habitat Council Conservation Site, a description of which is enclosed, and has attained the prestigious certification as a Corporate Lands for Learning ("CLL") by the Wildlife Habitat Council. The site is managed according to an approved plan to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that encourages permanent and seasonal wildlife residency. As a CLL, the site provides learners of all ages with the opportunity to make the outdoors their classroom through innovative, hands-on science, history, art, and literature programs, as well as college research and celebrations open to the public. As part of this certification the District intends to maintain these explicitly specified uses for the general benefit and welfare of the public. The Anheuser-Busch Companies have a demonstrated commitment to the preservation of wildlife habitat and to community involvement. Enclosed for your review is a copy of a commercial currently airing regarding the Anheuser-Busch Companies' participation in wildlife and habitat preservation in Missouri with Ducks Unlimited. The Anheuser Busch Park and Recreation District is another example of the support provided by this company to habitat preserves and community projects. As the District is authorized under its service plan to provide for the continued operation and maintenance of already -existing park and recreation improvements, the District will not provide other public improvements or services to or for the Inclusion Property. Further, the service plan of the District does not permit the district to issue debt. The District is empowered to assess fees, rates and charges on users of its facilities and to impose a mill levy not to exceed 10 mills for operational expenses. The District does not have the power of eminent domain. Due to its relative proximity to the District, the Inclusion Property will be operated as a local extension of the District and all aspects of the operation and maintenance of the Inclusion Property will be consistent with the District's established standards and protocol. For these reasons, we believe that such inclusion should not constitute a material modification of the District's service plan. Weld County Board of County Commissioners RE: Inclusion of Property within the Boundaries of Anheuser Busch Park and Recreation District December 8, 2008 Page 3 Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Very truly yours, MILLER ROSENBLUTH, LLC Dianne D. Miller Enclosures cc: Bruce Barker, County Attorney (via email and U.S. Mail) Board of Directors (via email) Registry of Certified Programs Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Busch Agricultural Resources, Inc. Fort Collins Nutri-Turf, Inc. Fort Collins, CO USA Certified since: 2001 The 7,200 -acre Fort Collins Nutri-Turf, Inc. facility is located east of the Rocky Mountains in northern Colorado, in a region classified as High Plains. The goals of the site's wildlife team are to promote the best wildlife and water management practices that complement and enrich the facility, and to provide a sound economic, environmental and social approach to the operation that benefits the company, the shareholders and the community. Over the years, the wildlife team developed 13 habitat programs to support its goals and objectives. The main goal within each habitat is to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that encourages permanent and seasonal wildlife residency. Activities on -site include pond restoration programs to ensure the longevity of water resources, rotational mowing programs, an active nest box monitoring program and invasive species control and management projects. Other projects established native grasses, wildflowers, trees and shrubs, installed feeders, created big game shelter and grazing habitat, developed upland bird habitats, established a burrowing owl sanctuary and increased community outreach and education programs. Native grasslands established on large portions of the property provide habitat for approximately 100 North American pronghorn, prairie dogs and burrowing owls. The wildlife team monitors these areas for wildlife use and maintains the habitat as necessary. Part of the property, which currently provides burrowing owl habitat, is leased for cattle grazing. Native grasses were established in the area, and the wildlife team monitors the activity of both the cattle and burrowing owls. The cattle graze on the short grasses, which provide excellent prairie dog habitat. Burrowing owls then displace the prairie dogs and utilize their burrows. Currently, the cattle grazing program and the burrowing owl sanctuary project are able to coexist without problems. The wildlife team established nest areas and boxes for waterfowl, American kestrel, bluebird, northern flicker, finch, great horned owl and red-tailed hawk. Additional structures were placed on site, including a goose box, duck nesting tubes and a butterfly box. The team also established a one -acre ground nesting area and partnered with Wild Birds Unlimited to conduct regular bird watching visits on the property. The 10 -acre Leonard's place area thrives as a bird habitat and pollinator area. With the help of Colorado State University, 4,000 feet of new trees, including wild rose, native plums, buffalo berry and coke cherries were planted to provide nesting, cover and food for birds, pollinators and other wildlife. Students from New Raymer High School also helped plant more than 200 trees near a pond on site. Fort Collins Nutri-Turf, Inc. employees work cooperatively with team members from the nearby Anheuser-Busch Fort Collins Brewery to conduct educational activities in a joint Corporate Lands for Learning (CLL) program. Central to the CLL program is the Anheuser-Busch Environmental Fellowship sponsored by Anheuser-Busch through the Warren College of Natural Resources of Colorado State University. This program sponsors research for one graduate student per year. The research findings, in topics related to wildlife habitat management and conservation, are disseminated to the general public through informational posters for the many visitors to the Fort Collins Brewery. The research meets the needs of the university and also provides basic knowledge that is used to educate wildlife team members and conservation partners, providing professional development on issues key to the entire watershed. In addition to the college level program, diverse habitats at the Nutri-Turf and brewery facilities area available to school and scout groups to study pollinators, native plants and birds. Annual conservation education events are held for the general public at the Fort Collins Brewery in cooperation with various environmental and wildlife non -profits.

As required by § 32-1-202(2), C.R.S., the following items, to the extent applicable to this District, are included in this Service Plan: a. A description of the proposed services; b. A financial plan showing how the proposed services are to be financed, including all elements required by § 32-1-202(2)(b), C.R.S.; c. A preliminary engineering or architectural survey showing how the proposed services are to be provided; d. A map of the proposed District's boundaries and an estimate of the population and valuation for assessment of the proposed District; e. A general description of the facilities to be constructed and the standards for construction, including a statement of how the facility and service standards of the proposed District are compatible with facility and service standards of Fort Collins, Colorado (the "City") and special districts that are interested parties pursuant to § 32-1-204(1), C.R.S.; f. A general description of the estimated cost of acquiring land, engineering services, legal services, administrative services, initial proposed indebtedness, estimated proposed maximum interest rates and discounts, and other major expenses related to the organization and initial operation of the District; and g.

PURPOSES OF 1'HB DISTRICT The District is a quasi -municipal corporation that is being organized to provide active and passive park and recreational facilities and services for the general public welfare. Such active park and recreation facilities shall include a ballfield, parking lot, walking trails and all appurtenances (collectively, the "Active Improvements"); further, the District shall provide passive facilities and services within its boundaries including, without limitation, a wildlife habitat and agricultural/ecological research area (collectively, the "Passive Improvements"). Collectively, the Active Improvements and the Passive Improvements shall be referred to herein as the "Improvements." The Improvements will be for the use and benefit of the taxpayers and users of the District's infrastructure. Upon completion, certain of the Improvements may be dedicated to the City or to such other governmental entity as may be appropriate. Improvements not dedicated to the City or other governmental entities shall remain the obligation of the District. 'The District shall have no debt authorization to issue bonds or finance the construction of any Improvements within its boundaries. The primary source of District revenue shall be from the imposition of user fees, charges and rates to offset the costs of providing the Improvements. The District shall also impose an operational and maintenance mill levy upon all property contained within its boundaries to help pay for its administrative costs and expenses. The District is not presently served with the facilities or services proposed to be provided by the District, nor does the City or any other special district within the City have any plans to provide such facilities or services within a reasonable time and on a comparable basis. The use of the District to construct, operate and maintain the Improvements will allow for the provision of requisite public infrastructure and other attractive public amenities, directly benefiting the 3 public's welfare in the process. Thus, organization of the District will promote both the interests of the present and future property owners and taxpayers within the District, as well as the general interests of the City. III. PROPOSED DISTRICT BOUNDARIES/MAPS a. District Boundaries and Map The initial boundaries of the District is approximately Eighteen and Three -Hundred and Forty -Four Thousandths of One (18.344) acres, as more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and as referred to in a boundary and vicinity map of the District, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively. b. Inclusions The District, pursuant to applicable law, may only include other properties into its boundaries which are solely owned by the Petitioner and its affiliates and which are dedicated for wildlife habitat, park and recreation and/or scientific purposes. The District shall provide notice of such property inclusion to the City prior to holding any public hearing pertaining to the same. Any other inclusions or exclusions of property into or out of the boundaries of the District not otherwise described herein shall require the prior approval of the City Council. c. Eminent Domain The District is prohibited from using the powers of eminent domain or dominant eminent domain. However, the City may choose to exercise its powers of eminent domain to construct public improvements within the District, in which case the District and the City will enter into an 4 intergovernmental agreement concerning the public improvement and funding for the use of eminent domain IV. POPULATION PROJECTIONS/ASSESSED VALUATION The property within the boundaries of the District is currently zoned for commercial, industrial and agricultural use. There is no anticipated permanent population of the District. The current assessed value of the property within the boundaries of the District is Twenty -Six Million, Six Hundred and Forty -Five Thousand and Thirty Dollars ($26,645,030); as the property located within the boundaries of the District has not been parceled separately by the Larimer County Assessor, this assessed value represents the total value of the property located within and without the boundaries of the District which is owned by the Petitioner. The Petitioner is also the owner of all of the property to be located within the boundaries of the District and has consented to the formation of the District, which consent is attached hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein by this reference. V. DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT POWERS, SERVICES AND IMPROVEMENTS The District will provide for the continued operation and maintenance of those Improvements which it is permitted to maintain under applicable law. Such Improvements may include the Passive Improvements, the Active Improvements, monumentation and appurtenant facilities thereto. To preserve the delicate ecological balance contained within the designated wildlife habitat, the District anticipates that the Passive Improvements will be available to the general public and for research purposes on an appointment basis only. The District anticipates 5 that the Active Improvements will be available fox use on a "first -come, first served" basis. The District shall have no debt authorization with which to finance the construction or installation of the Improvements and its powers shall be limited to providing maintenance services for those Improvements otherwise constructed. a. Description of Existing Conditions The Improvements have already been established and constructed in the area located within the District's boundaries. b. Services to be Provided by other Governmental Entities The City or other appropriate governmental entities provide all of the necessary facilities and services to the property located within the boundaries of the District, including, without limitation, streets, water, sewer, storm drainage and fire protection services and facilities. i VI. ESTIMATED COSTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS The District will not provide for any of the construction or installation of any of the Improvements, but may reconstruct or rebuild certain Improvements over time as necessary solely for maintenance purposes. The District's purpose primarily is to operate and maintain those Improvements already in existence; therefore, the estimated cost of construction of the Improvements for the District shall be Zero Dollars ($0.00). The District shall have no debt authorization to issue any bonds or other financial obligations to finance any construction or installation of Improvements, as such tasks shall be undertaken by other appropriate governmental or private entities. 6 VII. ESTIMATED COSTS OF OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The present preliminary status of the property located within the District does not allow for an accurate estimation of the costs of operating and maintaining the Improvements. However, the Mill Levy Cap, as defined in Section VIII.D below, is capped at ten (10.000) mills, pursuant to the terms of the Financing Plan and this Service Plan. The District shall use all revenues received, less any costs incurred for administrative, accounting, legal or engineering services associated with the organization and operation of the District, to finance its operation and maintenance obligations. The District intends to rely primarily upon fees, rates and charges to fund its operations and maintenance obligations and that the imposition of a mill levy will only be used to supplement such revenue sources to cover administrative expenses. Fees, rates and charges may be imposed and collected by the District to the extent necessary to supplement other District revenues available for these purposes. In this regard, the District anticipates imposing fees, rates or charges for use of the Active Improvements in an amount commensurate with what the City charges to the general public for the use of its own park and recreation facilities. Additionally, the District will impose such fees, rates and charges for use of the Passive Improvements only to the extent to offset those costs and expenses incurred by the District in association with the public's use of the wildlife habitat area; such costs may include, without limitation, the expense of maintaining a permanent staff, guides and/or security for the continued enjoyment of the Passive Facilities. It is intended that the Passive Improvements will remain available to the general public on an "appointment only" basis for providing educational or scientific research opportunities. VIII. FINANCING PLAN/PROPOSED INDEBTEDNESS 7 a. Financing Plan The proposed 2009 budget for the District, which is presented as the Financing Plan, and which is attached as Exhibit E, includes estimated administrative costs, operation and maintenance costs and other major expenses related to the operation of the District. The District projects no issuance of the debt. As the District will have no authorization to issue debt, typical financing plan provisions will not apply; consequently, there is no discussion in this Service Plan of types, manner and terms of bonds or other debt obligations which the District may issue or any restrictions or conditions placed upon the District's debt service mill levy. The Financing Plan anticipates the means of funding the operation and maintenance services to be provided for by the District. A mill levy of five (5.000) mills which will be imposed and collected in 2010 and thereafter, in conjunction with the imposition of fees, rates and charges, is estimated to be sufficient to maintain the Improvements. The Financing Plan demonstrates that, at various projected levels of development, the District has the ability to finance the services identified herein. b. Bond Issuance and Debt Authorization The District shall have no debt authorization pursuant to the terms of this Service Plan to issue bonds or other debt. Rather, the District's only financing powers will be to impose an operational mill levy upon all property located within its boundaries as well as to charge those reasonable fees, rates and charges related to the provision of its maintenance services. All financial obligations of the District are subject to the Mill Levy Cap and other limitations as set forth below. Although the District is not authorized to issue revenue or general obligation bonds, other financial obligations necessary for the purchase or lease of equipment and supplies are 8 explicitly authorized herein. The District is also authorized by statute and by this Service Plan to enter into contracts and agreements for the maintenance services to be provided by it. c. Mill Levy Cap The "Mill Levy Cap" shall mean an ad valorem mill levy (a mill being equal to 1/10 of 10) imposed upon all taxable property in the District each year in an amount sufficient to pay the District's administration, warranty, maintenance and other operating expenses. Upon organization, the District's Mill Levy Cap shall be ten (10.000) mills. Provided, however, that if the ratio of actual valuation to assessed valuation is changed by legislative action, the Mill Levy Cap provided herein will be increased or decreased (as to all taxable property in the District) to reflect such changes so that, to the extent possible, the actual tax revenues generated by the mill levy, as adjusted, are neither diminished nor enhanced as a result of such changes. d. Revenue Sources The District will be authorized to establish a system of fees, rates and charges, in accordance with the Special District Act, to generate revenues for the payment of operating its recreational facilities. Other sources of revenue to the District may include ad valorem property taxes, contributions from the organizer or others, interest income and specific ownership tax revenues. The District may impose varying levels of fees, rates and charges upon property contained within its boundaries for services rendered, in accordance with the Special District Act, in recognition that there may be a differentiation of levels of usage among the users and taxpayers of the District of the provided services. The proposed 2009 budget assumes use of the Active Improvements for 240 events per year at an average charge of $75 per use and 96 hours of guide time for the habitat areas at a rate of $40/hour. The District will adjust fees and charges 9 as necessary; the intent of the District is to net the cost of maintenance and upkeep of the facilities and habitat areas. Variations in assessed valuation projections or other external factors may affect the mill levy and the existence or amount of fees and charges from that set forth in the Financing Plan. No funds or assets of the City will be pledged as security for the repayment of any obligations of the District. The District will not pledge as security for the repayment of any obligation any funds or assets to be transferred to the City. e. FinancinE Plan Conclusions This Article VIII described the nature, basis, method of funding, debt and mill levy limitations, and other financial requirements and restrictions for the District's public improvements program and operations. Together with the Financing Plan attached hereto as Exhibit E and further described below, this Article VIII constitutes the financial plan for the District as required by § 32-1-202(2)(b), C.R.S. The Financing Plan includes estimated operations and administration costs (including estimated costs of warranty maintenance) and other major expenses related to the organization and operation of the District. The Financing Plan does not project for any issuance of the debt by the District. The Financing Plan demonstrates that, at the projected level of development, and with the projected Petitioner support, the e District has the ability to finance activities identified herein. IX. MODIFICATION OF SERVICE PLAN The District will obtain the approval of the City before making any material modifications to this Service Plan. Material modifications include modifications of a basic or essential nature including additions to the types of services provided by District, change in debt 10 limit or change in revenue sources. City approval is not required for modifications to this Service Plan necessary for the execution of maintenance of public improvements already outlined in this Service Plan. If, after this Service Plan is approved, the Colorado State Legislature includes additional powers or grants new or broader powers for special districts by amendment to Part 10 of Article 1, Title 32, C.R.S., no such powers will be available to or exercised by the District without the prior approval of the City Council. If the District undertakes any act which constitutes a material modification to this Service Plan, the City Council may impose one (1) or more of the following sanctions, as it deems appropriate: 1. Exercise any applicable remedy available under Title 32, Article I of the Colorado Revised Statutes; or 2. Withhold the issuance of any permit, authorization, acceptance or other administrative approval, or withhold any cooperation, necessary for the District's development or construction or operation of improvements or provision of services; or 3. Exercise any legal remedy under the terms of any intergovernmental agreement under which the District is in default; or 4. Exercise any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Service Plan or applicable law. X. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS The District and the City anticipate they will enter into an IGA regarding joint grant proposals and cooperative facilities and programs development. The IGA will be drafted after organization of the District. II XI. RESOLUTION OF APPROVAL The District incorporates the City Council's resolution approving this Service Plan, including any conditions of approval, into this Service Plan as Exhibit F. XII. DISSOLUTION Absent the prior approval of the City Council, the District shall dissolve no more than forty (40) years after this Service Plan is initially approved by the City Council. The District shall be obligated to obtain the approval of the City Council twenty (20) years after the organization of the District (and every ten (10) years thereafter) to continue providing operations and maintenance services; provided, however, that failure to obtain such approval shall not be considered a material modification of this Service Plan unless such approval is not obtained forty-five (45) days after written notice to the District by the City of the need to request such approval. XIII. ANNUAL REPORT The District shall file an annual report not later than September 1 of each year with the City Clerk for the year ending the preceding December 31, the requirements of which may be waived in whole or in part by the City Council or the City Manager. Unless waived by the City Council or the City Manager, the Annual Report shall include the following: 1. A narrative summary of the progress of the District in implementing its Service Plan for the report year; and 12 , 2. Except when exemption from audit has been granted for the report year under applicable law, the audited financial statements of the District for the report year, including a statement of financial condition (i.e., balance sheet) as of December 31 of the report year and the statement of operations (i.e., revenues and expenditures) for the report year; and 3. Unless disclosed within a separate schedule to the financial statements, a summary of the capital expenditures incurred by the District in development of improvements in the report year; and 4. Unless disclosed within a separate schedule to the financial statements, a summary of the financial obligations of the District at the end of the report year, including the amount of outstanding indebtedness, the amount and terms of any new District indebtedness or long-term obligations issued in the report year, the amount of payment or retirement of existing indebtedness of the District in the report year, the total assessed valuation of all taxable properties within the District as of January 1 of the report year and the current mill levy of the District pledged to debt retirement in the report year; and 5. Any other information deemed relevant by the City Council or deemed reasonably necessary by the City Manager. In the event the Annual Report is not timely received by the City Clerk or is not filly responsive, notice of such default shall be given to the District Board at its last known address. The failure of the District to file the Annual Report within forty-five (45) days of the mailing of such default notice by the City Clerk may constitute a material modification of this Service Plan, at the Discretion of the City. 13 XIV. CONCLUSION This Service Plan demonstrates that: a. There is sufficient existing and projected need for organized service in the area to be serviced by the District; b. The existing service in the area to be served by the District is inadequate for present and projected needs; c. The District is capable of providing economical and sufficient service to the area within its proposed boundaries; d. The area to be included in the District has, or will have, the financial ability to discharge its financial obligations on a reasonable basis; e.

Original Message From: Dianne Miller [mailto:dmiller®miller-rosenbluth.com] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 9:42 AM To: Bruce Barker Subject: Anheuser Busch Park and Recreation District / Petition to include property in Weld County Dear Mr. Barker: Enclosed is a letter addressed to the Weld County Board of County Commissioners on behalf of the Anheuser Busch Park and Recreation District. The District is anticipating the inclusion of a parcel of wildlife habitat in Weld County into its boundaries, and we are providing the required notice to the BOCC and requesting a finding from them that this is not a material modification of the District's service plan. Along with the letter are several enclosures, including the District's Service Plan, the petition for inclusion, and some information about property already in the boundaries of the district. Finally, there is a copy of a commercial regarding Anheuser Busch's involvement in other park and recreation projects outside of Colorado. Because the commercial is a large file, I will send it by separate email in case your spam or virus filters do not allow it through. The letter and all of the enclosures are being sent to the BOCC today and should arrive soon. Please review the letter and attachments. I will call you in the next few days but if you have any questions or concerns before that, please feel free to contact me. I appreciate your time on this matter. Regards, Dianne D.

I have Brad's thoughts and I think my board will generally find them acceptable although I haven't been able to speak to them. Also, I received an email on Friday from Paul Czarnecki regarding the tour of the farm that some of the Commissioners --in the email Paul forwarded some questions to me that the Commissioners had posed to him regarding the boundaries of the district, and I don't yet have an answer. So, I was going to ask for an extension anyway so we could draft the IGA and I could get answers to the questions the Commissioners had posed to Paul on the tour. However, I woke up this morning with the flu (or maybe a case of food poisoning); whatever it is I am not fit to be around other people, and if it is the flu I would hate to pass it on to anyone. So, could I impose on one of you to ask the Commissioners for an extension on my behalf then we will hopefully have both an actual IGA to present and I will have the answers to their questions. I appreciate your help. I am out of town at the end of next week and the beginning of the following week, so if we could reschedule the hearing to April 13th, or later.
