These values are determined in accordance with the determination of the Board of Assessment Appeals resulting from Kodak's 1997 abatement request, These actual value calculations will be presented to the Board at its heating scheduled for April 4, 2001, Due to the provisions of C.P.S. Section 39-1-113(1,7)which is due to expire in early May, it is not practical to delay the implementation of this agreement. However, Kodak has been in contact with representatives of Windsor RE-4 School Uist'et • regarding the timing of any refunds which result from the pending matter, Kodak consents to scheduling this refund to occur on or shortly after August 1,2001 in order to defer this obligation to the fiscal year beginning after July 1,2001. Kodak is prepared to enter into any reasduable additional written documentation necessary to accomplish this goal, including waiving tie right to any interest which might accrue between April 4,2001 and August 1, 2001,providing refunds are made upon that date, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at (716) 724-2227.

Given this impact, the District requests a delay in the payment of the RE-4 portion of such refunds or abatements to Kodak until August I, 2001. Further, it is important that this payment be reported as taxes abated and refunded by August 1, 2001 and incorporated into the Certification bf Values reported by the Assessor's Office no later than August 25 of this year. This action will serve to keep the District's cash flow and fiscal year end balance in a positive mode. The District is currently borrowing from the State Treasurer to meet cash flow needs but this loan must be repaid by June 25111. There is no ability to seek additional relief from the Colorado General Assembly during the current fiscal year. The new fiscal year,beginning July I, 2001 will create new opportunities for loans or other arrangements that will assist the District in meetinr its cash flow management program. Our discussions with Kodak have been favorable regarding this matter. The attached letter from Kodak demonstrates its support for this delay in payment. We are hopeful that you will consider this request in a favorable light. Thank you for consideration of this action. Sincerely, � /Lti. -r (...-2-1kmot. w, Brian L.
