CRS 1973 as amended sets forth eight (8) criteria for review of such service plans. Based upon the information submitted and a review of the criteria set forth in the statutes, the Department of Planning Services staff feels the following criteria have been satisfied: 1. There is sufficient existing and projected need for organized service in the area to be serviced by the proposed district; and 2. The existing service in the area to be served by the proposed district is not adequate for present and projected needs; and 3. Adequate service is not, nor is not anticipated to be, available to the area through municipal annexation by other existing municipal or quasi-municipal corporations within a reasonable time and on a comparable basis; and 4. The proposed special district is capable of providing economical and sufficient service to the area within its proposed boundaries; and 5. The facility and service standards of the proposed district appear compatible with facility and service standards of adjacent municipalities and special districts; and 6. The proposal is in substantial compliance with the master plan (County Comprehensive Plan) adopted pursuant to Section 30-28-110 C.R.S. 1973; and 7. The proposal is in compliance with the duly adopted water quality manage- ment plan for the area. The Department of Planning Services staff is not equipped with the expertise to review one additional criteria. The criteria requires satisfactory evidence that the area to be included in the proposed district does have, or will have, the financial ability to discharge the proposed indebtedness on a reasonable basis. The staff recommends the Planning Commission be satisfied the criteria for financial burden is justified before recommending approval to the Board of County Commissioners or condition approval on the Board's satisfaction of the criteria. oor fl�C 1 1982 GREED Coto, CARBON VALLEY METROPOLITAN RECREATION DISTRICT SERVICE PLAN BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WELD COUNTY F.O. BOX 789 GREELEY, COLORADO 80631 COMMISSIONERS: We, the undersigned submit herewith a service plan for the organization of the Carbon Valley Metropolitan Recreation District, to be located in the Southwest corner of Weld County. it is our hope that you will look favorably upon this proposed District. Anticipated revenues and ex- penditures over the coming years, are designed to pro- vide much needed playground, park and recreational facilities for this particular area of Weld County. in a time when shut downs and shortages are the rule instead of the exception, we feel that local re- creation is rapidly becoming the alternative to ex- tensive and expensive entertainment. Respectfully Submitted, TRI AREA PLANNING COMMISSION , SPONSOR e4nk,,,v 2 Chairman iva' Renner BEFORE THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF WELD AND STATE OF COLORADO IN THE MATTER OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE CARBON VALLEY METROPOLITAN ) SERVICE PLAN RECREATION DISTRICT WHEREAS, pursuant to C. R. S. 1973, 32-2-101, as amended, the resident taxpaying electors of the proposed Recreation District intend to file with the District Court in and for the County of Weld and State of Colorado, a Petition for Organization of the Carbon Valley Metropolitan Recreation District; and WHEREAS, C. R. S. 1973, 32-1-204 requires that all pro- posed special service districts file a Service Plan with the County Commissioners of the County in which the terri- tories of that proposed district are included; end WHEREAS, the capital and operational expenditure with- in the next several years is expected to provide immediate and long-term playground, park and related facilities for this particular area of Weld County; NOW, THEREFORE, Petitioner, in compliance with said law, submitsthis Service Plan: PROPOSED SERVICE AREA The proposed Carbon Valley Metropolitan Recreation District contains 45 sections (28,800 acres , 2,925 Sq. miles) all in Weld County, more particularily identified and illustrated by the map and legal description on the next page. Boundaries of the District were calculated to encompass the municipalities of Dacono, Frederick and Firestone, and unincorporated communities such as Evanston and Casa Grande. This is the "Tri-Area" , major population center of 5 ,000 residents in southwest Weld County, quilted with corn fields , sugar beets and grain crops, undermined by coal shafts of decades ago, and guarded by oil well horse heads nodding approv- al from every direction. THE DISTRICT Structure The proposed special District is to be simply structured, with the two obvious areas of responsibility--parks and recrea- tion, governed by a "Board" , and managed by a single salaried position, that of "Director" . Part-time and seasonal help would be a "parks foreman" , in charge of maintenance and con- struction, and a "recreation supervisor" , responsible for recreation programs, coaches, and instructors. The parks foreman and recreation supervisor may over- see hourly seasonal and contract employees. For example, employees such as the gym supervisor and the baseball coach are commonly hired on an hourly basis. For other services most departments pay a flat rate per season or per year. Referees for the various sports are expected to be hired under such contracts. When the department needs assistance with individual projects, such as park construction or maintenance, it will hire labor on a short term basis for that project only, usually for 30 days or less. Then there is the so-called 90 percent - 10 percent pro- gram, especially suited for small community classes, whereby the instructor receives 90 percent of the registration fee and the department 10 percent. In this way, the District does not have to budget for specific programs, and the instructor has more incentive to make the activity successful. This plan lends itself to activities that require only one instructor, such as tennis, dance, gymnastics. The District will not maintain its own gym , but plans to arrange with ' the school district for its gym facilities for gymnastics, basketball, and volleyball programs. Such coopera- tion with the local school system and other community organiza- tions is necessary to provide a diverse recreational program as economically as possible, and to this end, the school district will be asked to offered its support and commitment to the Dis- trict, if formed. e•Il n It9a �. 2 rF F - .I• —Ir.1 W r r ....Prave rno R ofl • I ]�I. • 44441 NwH i 11 IEl 1/4D I ' O i •�7 t.

Oil 200 producing wells puncture this area, perhaps a quarter of the petroleum industry in all of Weld County, and theoretically the figure could grow to 800, based on place- ment regulations. Oil trucks scatter road patterns where they will and severely damage public maintained streets and roads, and there is noise, pollution and unsightly pumping rigs and storage batteries. The impact warrants input of tax dollars for recreation, for quality of living, for preservation of the area environment, residents believe, and the input, $40 million in oil and gas production last year, would be significant, a subsidy "richly" deserved. Coal Early settlers in this area were miners, for under the surface up until a generation ago were rich veins of coal, a primary source of heat and energy for growing Denver. The extent and richness of the coal field in the Tri-Area is shown by the number of mines, some worked for thirty years. The Baum, the Evans, the Russell, the Firestone, the Grant, the Boulder Valley, the Columbine were among the twenty-eight mines which flourished near the towns. A train line for Denver was built through the Tri-Area to La Salle in 1910. At the height of coal production, 126 full cars were sent to Denver daily. The first depot was Dacono, but others were built in each of the towns. The last active mine ceased operations a few short years ago, but coal remains a force to be reckoned with, for sub- sidence has placed a heavy constraint on future land use. r -. , to V . i a.

Southwest- ern Weld County is that part most effected by the tremendous growth of the Front Range Corridor, as the completion of I-25 in 1960 gave fast, easy access to employment opportuni- ties in the Denver region. Given the choice, most people want to live in a suburban setting, and growth rates of front range counties illustrate this trend toward suburbani- zation, away from the most urbanized county. For many years the Tri-Area populations remained relatively stable. Through the 1950's Frederick and Firestone lost population; Dacono grew only slightly. Through the 1960 's all three towns began to grow. Major housing development in the early 1970 's almost doubled the population. The Tri-Area Santitation District in 1975 looked at local growth rates along the Front Range. They found that the popu- lation of Evanston, Firestone and Frederick from 1970 to 1975 increased from 1,494 to 1,850. That's 23.8% over the five-year period, or 4.4 % per year. The population figures for Dacono during the same five years were given at 18% increase. Furthermore, the Tri-Area is a young community, no doubt ii(' ing counting adequate recreation as a must. The 1976 Household Survey conducted by Weld County indi- cated that fully 40% of the population was under 18 years. The national estimated median age was 29.1; the Tri-Area median age was 23.76. The survey concluded that while the national median age was rising as the general population lived longer and produced fewer children, the Tri-Area median age was lowering, suggesting imminent pressure on parks and recrea- tion services, and particularily increasing need for classroom, teen-age recreation and job opportunities. Another factor which provides a measure of the numbers of children in a population is diminishing household size, explain- ed by an increasing number of single parent families, more people choosing to live alone, and a declining birth rate. in con- trast, Tri-Area household size was larger than the national average in 1970 and continued to increase through 1975. At the same time the population over 64 years decreased by a 4 . .04/ \ of $ -4;-; � \ \ k \ / <4 / ` ! , \ \ \ / 79 / | • I & + w6 & m / \ _ / \ \ K ! ! 2 \ } § ` 010 . § ; � ) m - « \� 0 `I § } ( \ � / / R® B ( § ( \ 41 0. kk mdo « .= G % / 229 t ' t / / � A \ \ \ )` ;� ` V § ( X / % � / [ E -§ & -' k1 • .

This is caused only in part by a natural decrease through elderly deaths. More probably, the migration into the community includes fewer people in this age group, thus skewing precentages. It is the towns of Dacono and Firestone, experiencing the most growth in this time period, that have the smallest percent of this cohort group. Frederick and Evanston, growing at a slower rate, have a higher percent over 64. Such detailed break downs nationally have not yet been released by the 1980 Census Bureau, but overall figures and some local comparisons support these previous trends. Dacono jumped the 2,000 mark by reaching 2,323 residents in 1980 and is now classified a "City" . The new census found Firestone at 1,187 and Frederick 851 population. Evanston and outlying settlements boost the proposed District popu- lation to well over 5,000, perhaps 5,500. With growth, the Tri-Area has physically become a closer group of communities. Contiguity among the towns has increased. The unincorporated county lands between them has decreased. Considering the Weld County policy of encouraging growth adjacent to developed areas and Tri-Areas commitment to growth, it can be assumed that pressure from the Front Range Corridor 's "population explosion" will continue. Consequently, so will social needs and amenities continue, not the least of which is opportunity for socializing and recreation, for all ages, and particularily for the areas youth. One of the most significant problems facing the Tri-Area is the lack of activities for its young people, and therefore they spend most of their time "hanging around" . Typical social and recreational outlets--movies, bowling, moto cross, miniture golf, roller skating are simply not available locally. EXISTING FACILITIES In the three communities substantial "dedicated" park land exists, but little development has taken place, for economic reasons. . A better analysis of current circumstances is the extent cf recreational facli±sties. THE DISTRICT Structure The proposed special District is to be simply structured, with the two obvious areas of responsibility--parks and recrea- tion, governed by a "Board" , and managed by a single salaried position, that of "Director" . Fart-time and seasonal help would be a "parks foreman" , in charge of maintenance and con- struction, and a "recreation supervisor" , responsible for recreation programs, coaches, and instructors. The parks foreman and recreation supervisor may over- see hourly seasonal and contract employees. For example, employees such as the gym supervisor and the baseball coach are commonly hired on an hourly basis. For other services most departments pay a flat rate per season or per year. Referees for the various sports are expected to be hired under such contracts. When the department needs assistance with individual projects, such as park construction or maintenance, it will hire labor on a short term basis for that project only, usually for 30 days or less. Then there is the so-called 90 percent - 10 percent pro- gram, especially suited for small community classes, whereby the instructor receives 90 percent of the registration fee and the department 10 percent. In this way, the District does not have to budget for specific programs, and the instructor has more incentive to make the activity successful. This plan lends itself to activities that require only one instructor, such as tennis, dance, gymnastics. The District will not maintain its own gym , but plans to arrange with ' the school district for its gym facilities for gymnastics, basketball, and volleyball programs. Such coopera- tion with the local school system and other community organiza- tions is necessary to provide a diverse recreational program as economically as possible, and to this end, the school district will be asked to offered its support and commitment to the Dis- trict, if formed.

Di ini ifl CAn11 ITuce Firestone The Firestone park with fully matured trees and grass is centrally located in the community and is used extensively by children enjoying the playground equipment and young people utilizing the tennis court. The park is small however, and lack of a large open area prevents its use by other members of the community for activities requiring more space. Also, while the park has some nice trees and paved paths, there are few benches available. Placement of some sitting areas, particularily in the reach of existing horseshoe pits , could tend to attract older residents of the community. Frederick The Frederick park is a well-maintained and well- used facility, though also smaller in size. The basketball/ volley ball court is popular with area residents, as is the enclosed childrens playground. The small shelter at the center of the park, and an open area to the north side of the park provide for a variety of functions. In the past year there has been added restroom facilities, and in 1983 the Town will install a sprinkler system. Dacono The 16.5 acres that Dacono has in park lands are not fully developed as yet, though unlike the other two communities, Dacono has finished plans for its open space area, an expansive elaborate park, with a price tag to match, unfortunately. Dacono does have a paid-for "first" in the area , an outdoor swimming pool that receives a great deal of use dur- ing the summer months by all Tri-Area residents. Needless to say, the pool is overcrowded on nice summer days, and it is necessary to remove children from the pool from time to time to allow adult swimming or just to count noses. This type of recreation is obviously popular, and another pool at another location is needed in the near future. The Dacono pool is not convenient to all Tri-Area residents. Many persons are forced to drive to the facility, as there is no public transportation, and no bike paths or hiking trails as alternate access to the site. School The Tri-Area has a major advantage with location of the ele- mentary, junior high and high school adjacent to park and open space areas at Frederick. This spatial relationship allows for a park-school concept of combining educational and recreational facilities for wide variety of uses, promoting better cost effici- ency, and encouraging the best use of existing land, often using less acreage. This park and recreation facility is utilized by all the re- sidents of the Tri-Area. The baseball/softball field receives such heavy use it must soon undergo major repair. There is no evidence of grass--simply dirt and dust. The bleachers are worn, the fences patched. Playground equipment near the site presents a particular problem, as the location of apparatus was not done with a great deal of analysis or playground planning. The site has a great potential for a central Tri-Area re- creational facility but its potential has yet to be realized. Since the school complex in the Tri-Area includes all three levels, future recreation facilities should include something for all school ages, from an indoor swimming pool, ping pong and game room, to outdoor fooball fields, track and tennis courts . The park- school approach is a highly recommended, and blends well with the community school philosophy. Senior Citizens Tri-Area 's senior citizens, the Carbon Valley Embers, would benefit immensely from a recreation district, since present fund- ing except for the "coordinator" , whose salary the three towns pay, is totally dependent upon donations, dues , fund-raising and volunteers. The organization has come along way, renovating an old sa- loon building after moving it onto a cleared tract in Dacono, first location of that municipality' s town hall given over by the Board of Trustees to this group. Art and exercise classes, pot-luck dinners and shopping ex- cursions are regular events. The center also has a pool table, piano, and kitchen facilities , yet such is meager fare for the membership of 89. Full funding would allow more classes, more group outings and more capitol improvements. Present priority at the facility is landscaping, and outdoor installations, such as horseshoe pits. . - (NWQQ yQ > S < W pQI N j e < LL — et{ N 1Z ZM L T < NIF ' r76 > N 8 m g U FWW t{O} Z tl iW 1 �,{ > V JJ ` W p y� y p<� pp W _a 5.1 , P Z y F T U > U ; ^ C 9 1�/[� < ygVlllN� t,- ,: m w y<J�mJ „�111 y1 LL8 �y ,`Fm' N Z < < U ` < ' m 3 ': < m 4 > LL 0 yy " bJ "y'ay�� mhZW4� 0 at � W b „ b Z 6 8 8 0 7 < Zh.

PART-TIME AND SEASONAL HELP WOULD BE A "PARKS FOREMAN" , IN CHARGE OF MAINTENANCE AND CON- STRUCTION, AND A "RECREATION SUPERVISOR" , RE- SPONSIBLE FOR RECREATION PROGRAMS, COACHES, AND INSTRUCTORS. Task An immediate task of the District if approved will be to assist with budgeted programs in the City of Dacono and Towns of Frederick and Firestone: Frederick -- Total expenditure budgeted $8,500, the bulk of which, $5,000, is ear-marked to install a sprinkler system in the park. Aside from the normal park maintenance costs, the balance ($3,500) is devoted to Little League ball and adult softball, traditionally Frederick projects because of the available school ball park previously mentioned. Frederick also is desirous of beginning midget football in the Tri-Area next fall and has recently set aside revenue sharing funds of $1, 200, a start for the projected $5 ,000 cost. The other two communities have expressed a desire and willingness to partici- pate, but it will take a windfall, such as the District here pro- posed, to realize this ambition. Dacono -- Despite a $30,000 budget, the City of Dacono will not open the swimming pool next season, due to critically needed repairs and no money for that purpose. Operations of the pool last year cost $23,000, and an additional 014,000 was expended for repair. Now, the pool needs a complete over- haul, at least $25 ,000 worth, or the state will not allow it to be used. Thus, the City intends to channel what moneys are available into further park improvements, salaries, and an expanded soft- ball program, at the same time seeking state and federal grant monies to save the pool season and implement an expansive park development plan. Should the grant not be approved, a District is Dacono 's only hope-- if it is approved, it ' s implementing agency. Firestone -- With no organized sports or recreational activities in recent years, Firestone is at a virtual standstill in this area and budgets are for maintenance of the Old Town Park. The major park area dedicated with annexation stands idle, save volunteer efforts to level a ball field and erect a workable back stop. A° 1� n�Pa'�r �., ,J P •1 o PA.

Each community struggles year after year with the problem of "too little, to late" , and welcomes a combined and concerted effort at recreation by one agency, the District, and of course welcomes the financial help promised. Thus, while the improvement and maintenance of conditions is the immediate goal, plans for the long run are ambitious and will begin with an overall park and open space plan ,a master design for developed as well as undeveloped land, in- side the incorporated areas and outside. This was the number one public service policy recommen- dation to come out of the 1977 *Tri-Area Comprehensive Plan, developed for this Planning Commission with federal and state funds by a University of Colorado student team. "The preservation and development of parks and open space is too important to the life of a community to be left to chance, " this study group concluded in suggesting a master plan for this purpose. The beginning framework, the skeleton for such a project, is seen as a trail system tying together the three municipali- ties. it is recommended this "North-South Spine" snake across the communities linking together parks, open space, recreation and commercial areas wherever possible, and in the center-- the Frederick school complex. From the "Spine" , a network of trail extensions to new developments and into the county is envisioned, utilizing exist- ing rights-of-way to gather in its fold historic land marks, and smaller parks and wild life perserves along the way, particu- larity in areas of subsidence most suited to open space deve- lopment. *Much of the background information and most of the illustrations for this Service Plan are excised from the Comprehensive Plan volumes. acTssno CAT svauv aasvuoauoo u - axs aaisNT `aim uaaaoaaAaaNn = w NN NNN sv zzaM sv aaaozanaa xoa NoTsaa � W N � < W N V v u uaisvx v 'End aovas taao Rb < << ENV �I2ivd zztl2iaao NV a TM o B „ = m m „ Nr a armaNv snozsTg r " ry - aav Nnu oNoz aHs uoa SNVaa w 5 00 .0 000 a ss , _ • 5g = oh fl 'sriEl ssRF,4 :: gs 4 < gsst ' 14 igg4Y. d _° ggg ° , ¢ 41 LL « 44 , „ 44 .

Among the outlying parks , ultimately, can be developed expend- ed facilities , fishing and boating, a golf course, perhaps trap shooting. Present recreational activity in the Tri-Area provides a good example of the need for comprehensive open space planning for the entire area. All Tri-Area residents use the Dacono swimming pool, and all use the baseball field in Frederick, to cite just two examples. Financing Sponsorship of the recreation district was adopted by the Tri-Area Planning Commission not without Question: s still another property tax justified? What of those on fixed incomes, to whom recreation is the least important of needs? It was the advent of the Colorado lottery, 50% of the proceeds from which will go to parks and recreation, coupled with the enticement of oil production as a tax base, that carried the question. These two revenue resources it is believed will triple local parks and recreation monies now available without taxing 90% of the population one penny more. Put another way, Pri-Area residents very likely can receive the same level of these services for one-third of what they have been paying in taxes. This is best illustrated by the 1983 parks and recreation budgets for Frederick and Dacono (Firestone has not budgeted for this purpose) , combined total approaching $40,000. Tax base for the two communities is roughly $11 million, which means between 3 and 4 mills to raise the $40,000. The pro- posed district, with $60 million assessed valuation, can realize $40,000 on 1.5 mills ,less than half. Lt has been estimated lottery funds could bring in another $40,000 annually to the district ,though there is at this time no reliable measure- ment of these monies. Notwithstanding the potential bonanza noted above , spon- sors have gone on record that at no time will the mill levy ex- ceed 1.5 mills without a vote of the people. t is also proposed , insofar as legal requirements will allow, to reserve a seat on the District Board of Directors for a senior citizen. C The rest of the Board is anticipated to be composed of one representative from each municipality and the fifth member elect- ed from the outlying area. The three-year budget submitted herewith reflects a steady, go-slow attitude of proponents. Consistent with available and anticipated funds. Thus, for the few months of 1983 that it is hoped the District will be approved and operational, activity must be limit- ed to assistance and cooperation with the communities in com- pleting their 1983 programs, with perhaps two "extras". A short term loan, or revenue bonds obtainable without . an election, could finance restoration of D3cono ' s swimming pool, and the Tri-Area ' s first midget football program. in 1984, tax revenue from the last half of 1983, birth date of the District, is estimated at $45 ,000. The lottery and contracts, fees and concessions will bring in as much as 855 ,000 additional. Again, what lottery monies will be forth- coming is sheer speculation, and correspondingly the extent of capitol improvements is also only a number. The District will be in full bloom the third year and can begin in earnest to meet the desires of a people blessed with more and more leisure time, a society which at this point is all dressed up and nowhere to go.

COLO. Commissioners; The Dacono Fire District has received a notice of the proposed Carbon Valley Recreation District. This district does not object to the formation of a Parks and Recreation District as was discussed in the beginning. However, We do and will oppose a Metropolitan District . A parks and recreation district can be formed pursuant to Section 32-1-101 et . sec. , CRS 1973 ( 1982 Sup. ) . However under the appl- icable statutes there is a distinction between a Parks and Recr- eation District, and a Metropolitan Parks and Recreation District, which is defined as follows. A Metropolitan District, is a district which can provide any two of a number of services, such as fire protection, parks and recrea- tion, sanitation, safety protection, street improvement, water, transportation, and other miscellanous functions . A Parks and Recreation District , on the other hand is a district which can provide and supply for parks and recreation facilities only. Therefore if the name of the proposed district is to be the Carbon Valley Parks and Recreation District, and provide for parks and recreational facilities only, we have no objection, but if on the other hand the district is to be a Metropolitan District, it can in the future very simply lead to double taxation for duplication of services which will be to the benefit of no one. In some cases it could actually lead to hardships on both the taxpayer and the districts trying to provide split services. If the intention of the petitioners is to merely provide a Parks and Recreation District, we support this and suggest the advise of the Weld County Attorney in the proper distinction of the two, but if in fact it is to be a Metropolitan District, the Dacono Area Fire Protection District will definitely oppose any formation of said district . Removal of the word METROPOLITAN would satisfy the problem we have with this petition. Respe ful �A. R� ohnston-President DaconoDACONO , COLORADO 805 re 14ction District 7, ) //„, '� - 1 Hello
