WELD COUNTY 911 EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SERVICE AUTH TY Bea BY: (ft Rick Dill Secretary/Treasurer Subscribed and sworn to before me this -Li_ day of F/� 7 ), 1992. notary Public I Weld 911 Emergency Telephone Service Authority Board Final 1993 Budget WELD 911 EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SERVICE AUTHORITY BOARD P.O. Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80632 Phone (303) 356-4000, Ext 4245 September 25, 1992 Weld 911 Emergency Telephone Service Authority Board 915 Tenth Street Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Board Members: The 1993 budget for the Weld 911 Emergency Telephone Service Authority Board totals $568, 750. The budget includes revenue of $310,000 from the E911 surcharge, $5,250 from interest earnings, and an estimated $289,742 beginning fund balance accruing from previous years. The 1993 budgeted expenditures will support 911 operating costs of $161,000, $24,000 for the purchase and installation of additional 911 hardware from U.S. West, a $20,000 contingency, and $363, 750 in depreciation expense for a total of $568, 750. The 1993 expenditures are forecast to be $36,242 less than revenue from the E911 surcharge, interest earnings, and fund balance from previous years. The Board plans to lmplementa new policy to restrict a portion of cash funds to accumulate an equipment replacement reserve. No funds had previously been earmarked to replace the $727,500 in equipment purchased by the Board to support 911 service. The Board intends to use a six year, straight-line method of projecting equipment life to recover approximately $121,250 each year from 1991. This method would result in a $363, 750 equipment replacement reserve by the end of the 1993 budget year. The estimated ending fund balance for 1992 is $289, 742. This fund balance is smaller than was originally forecast in the September 15th meeting due to an estimated $34,000 expenditure to the Wiggins Telephone Association previously in dispute. The Board has approved a plan to restrict $121,250 in cash funds for each of the years 1991, 1992, and 1993. This plan would result in a $363, 750 equipment replacement reserve and a $36,242 fund balance by the end of the 1993 budget year. The estimated ending fund balance is slightly more than 6% of operating expenditures. I am recommending the Board maintain available cash at no less than 57. of expenditures. The proposed tax initiative on the November ballot requires a minimum of 3%. Sinter y, Ric Dill Secretary/Treasurer Budget Message Service: Prior to 1990, many jurisdictions in Weld County had limited 911 service. Some jurisdictions had no method to report emergencies using the telephone system. To serve the public welfare and the best interests of all citizens in Weld County, 48 government entities within Weld County agreed to form the Weld County 911 Emergency Telephone Service Authority to implement enhanced 911 emergency telephone capability for every telephone in Weld County. E-911 is a telephone system utilizing the single three-digit number 911 for reporting police, fire, medical, or other emergency situations. A call on the E-911 system automatically displays the location of the caller's telephone number, address for the telephone, and other supplemental information of the calling party's location at a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) . There are PSAP's in Fort Lupton, Weld County Department of Communications, and the City of Greeley. The appropriate response personnel and jurisdiction are notified of the emergency from the PSAP. The Weld County 911 Emergency Telephone Service Authority is a separate legal entity responsible to administer the E-911 emergency telephone service program for all of Weld County except the Town of Erie. The Authority Board is authorized to collect an emergency telephone charge not to exceed seventy cents per month. The Authority Board must determine the surcharge rate each year no later than September 1 and fix the new rate to take effect commencing with the first billing period of each telephone customer on or following the next January 1. Funds collected from the surcharge must be spent solely to pay for the equipment costs, for the installation costs , and for the monthly reoccurring charges, and, if moneys are available after such charges are fully paid, such funds may be expended for emergency medical services provided by telephone. Any funds collected and unexpended at the end of the budget year are carried over to the next succeeding year to be used in supplying E-911 emergency telephone service. The Authority Board may do any act as may be necessary to continue operation of the 911 emergency telephone service including, but not limited to, the ability to negotiate with equipment vendors and service suppliers to obtain the benefit of technological developments. These benefits must improve or enhance the quality and efficiency of 911 emergency telephone service to the users. The primary funding resource for E-911 service is the surcharge established in 1988 at fifty cents per month per telephone service. The surcharge has since remained unchanged. The revenue from the fifty cent surcharge and surplus revenues carried forward from previous years will produce sufficient revenues in 1993 to fund expenditures authorized by the intergovernmental agreement and current legislation. Budgetary Accounting Basis: The Basis of Accounting refers to when revenue and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in financial statements. The Basis for Accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made regardless of the measurement focus applied. Revenue and expenditures or expenses are accounted for using a modified accrual 1 method. This method recognizes revenue in the year in which it becomes both measurable and available as net current assets or, when revenue is of a material amount, planned for but not yet received. Revenue in the modified accrual method primarily consists of surcharges collected even though the surcharge may not have yet been remitted by telephone companies in the service area. Unbilled charges for services are recorded in the appropriate fund at year end. Expenditures are generally recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. The Board adopted a policy in the September 15, 1992 meeting to fund an equipment reserve by depreciating E-911 equipment effective January 1, 1993. $727,500 in equipment will be depreciated using a straight-line method and a six year life. This depreciation method results in an annualized expense of $121,250. The reserve fund will be credited the annualized expense for the years 1991 and 1992 and funds will be reserved during the 1993 budget year on a quarterly basis. Lease-Purchase Agreements: The following supplemental data regarding lease purchase agreements involving real property pursuant to Section 29-1-104(2) (d) , CRS, 1973 as amended: $ 0 A. The total amount to be expended during the ensuring fiscal year for payment of obligations under all lease- purchase agreements involving real property. $ 0 B. The total maximum payment liability of the local government under all lease-purchase agreements involving real property over the entire terms of such agreements, including all optional renewal terms. $ 0 C. The total amount to be expended during the ensuing fiscal year for payment obligations under all lease-purchase agreements other than those involving real property. $ 0 D. The total maximum payment liability of the local government under all lease-purchase agreements other than those involving real property over the entire term of such agreements, including all optional renewal terms. 2 Weld County E-911 Emergency Telephone Authority for the period January 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993 Estimated Proposed Final Resources 1992 1993 1993 Beginning Fund Balance $178,897* $289 ,742 $289,742 Estimated Revenue 310,000 310,000 310,000 Surcharge 5,372 5,250 5,250 Interest Total Resources $494 ,269 $604,992 $604,992 Estimated Expenditures Operations Telephone Charges $146,361 $135,000 $135,000 Maintenance 20,000 26,000 26,000 Equipment Telephone Equipment 38,076 24,000 24,0000 Installation 90 0 Depreciation 0 363,750 363, 750 Contingency 0 20,000 20,000 Total Expenditures $204,527 $568,750 $568,750 ENDING FUND BALANCE $289, 742 $ 36,242 $ 36,242 * Actual fund balance reported as of January 1, 1992.

The budget includes revenue of $345,000 from the E911 surcharge, $6,000 from interest earnings, and an estimated $41,081 beginning fund balance accruing from previous years. The 1994 budgeted expenditures will support 911 operating costs of $173,460, $3,000 for the purchase and installation of additional 911 hardware from U.S. West, a $20,000 contingency, and $121,250 in depreciation expense for a total of $317,710. e 1994 bevenue from the E911h surcharge, interest $56,371 earnings, and fund balance from previous years. The Board implemented a new policy in 1992 to restrict a portion of cash funds to accumulate an equipment replacement reserve to replace the $727,500 in equipment purchased by the Board to support 911 service. The Board intends to use a six year, straight-line method of projecting equipment life to recover approximately $121,250 each year from 1991. This method would result in a $485,000 equipment replacement reserve by the end of the 1994 budget year. The estimated ending fund balance for 1993 is $41,081. Anticipated 1994 ending fund balance is $56,371. An emergency reserve of $18,000, which exceeds the required 3% reserve under the TABOR Amendment, is included in the 1994 budget. Weld County Office of Emergency Management has requested state grant funding that has the potential of requiring matching funds related to E-911 service. The Authority Board is considering having a back-up emergency dispatch site available in 1994. Matching funds for establishing this site for E-911 service may be allocated by the Authority Board. No funds have been budget in this request. A request for funding by the Rocky Mountain Poison Control Center has been discussed by the board this past year. There may be some legislation directing counties to be responsible for full or partial funding in the future. Although no funds have been allocated in the proposed budget for 1994, consideration has been discussed.

The State of Colorado, c/o Attorney General, State Services Building, 1525 Sherman Street, 110 1 6 0 16th or Colorado State Street, 1h Floor, Denver, CO 80202 , is the responsible p Y where the incident occurred. The owner of the ambulance involved in the incident is Weld County Colorado, c/o Weld County Attorney, P.O. Box 1948 , 915 10th Street, Greeley, CO 80632 . The employee of Weld County involved in this incident is Mark A. Jacoby, 823 Elm Street, Windsor, Colorado 80550 and was at the time of the incident driving the ambulance involved in the incident. The basis for this claim is as follows: On June 30, 1993 , at approximately 3 : 30 A•M. , three and registered ered Quarter horses owned by the claimants had panicked scaped their confinement to Colorado State Highway livestock panels 392loTheethr e Quarter property adjacent horses had proceeded from theprivate property on to the roadway of Colorado State Highway 9 The three Quarter horses were standing in the westbound lane of Colorado State Highway 392 facing east when they were struck and and ambulance by the being driven rive owned Weld County employee, Mark A. Jacoby. Mr. Jacoby a wasas y c d by Mr. proceeding westbound with his headlights on low beam at a rate of speed that was in excess of his range of vision. He was therefore unable no oncoming the vehicle vehicle(s)Quarter n the horses eastbound lane impact. of There was/were 392 therefore the use of the low beam Colorado State Highway headlights was an election of Mr. Jacoby not a person e swouldu have to oncoming traffic. A reasonable and prudent random d with the use of the high a either slowed the ambulance, or, pf beam headlights considering the amount of traffic nd hourbeCause o was h day. Mr. Jacoby was not on an emergency run, proceeding without benefit of emergency flashers and siren at the time that he struck and killed the three Quarter horses. 1 v 13`145 (ie ; , The claimants train and sell performance horses. They have incurred damages as a result of their loss of these registered Quarter horses. Mr. Carmichael's Quarter horse, Li' l Mose Again, was valued in excess of $25, 000. Mr. Carmichael has had at least two offers to purchase Li'l Mose Again for $25, 000 which he rejected. Jeff and Bonnie Lemaire are the owners of Buck Poco McCue and he was valued at $15, 000. Li'l Mose Again and Buck Poco McCue were seasoned performance horses. These Quarter horses had been entered and shown in competitions in numerous states which increased their value and promoted the horse training performed by these claimants. These Quarter horses were entered in scheduled competitions subsequent to the date of their deaths in the state of Colorado. Jennifer Carter's horse, Choice's h_ dew had been n entered in competitions in Colorado, however hew was not as seasoned a performance horse as the other two. He was valued at $5, 000. The claimants have not only suffered a loss of their personal property, i.e. the Quarter horses, but the income these Quarter horses would have generated in their occupations as horse trainers. It is the claimants' position that the State of Colorado, Weld County, Colorado, and, Mark A. Jacoby, employee of Weld County, Colorado are jointly and severally liable for the loss of the claimants' personal property valued at $45, 000. In addition to the loss of the Quarter horses the claimants have lost the income that these Quarter horses would have generated had they been able to continue to enter them in the competitions to promote their training occupations of performance horses. Mark A. Jacoby was travelling at a rate of speed on a state highway in excess of the amount of light that was provided by the low beam position of his headlights. Mr. Jacoby was therefore unable to see the Quarter horses in time to slow his vehicle or take evasive action to avoid impact with the three Quarter horses which were standing still, facing him in the westbound lane.

A precise statement of the factual basis of the claim, including the date, time, place, and circumstances of the act, omission, or event complained of: On the 21st day of August, 1993 at approximately 12:20 p.m., the claimant, Ms. Alice Leonard, was driving her 1986 Chevy Blazer automobile in an easterly direction on Weld County Road 74. A 1978 Dodge Aspen automobile was being driven by David G. Kindvall in a northerly direction on Weld County Road 47. Mr. Kindvall pulled up to the stop sign at the intersection of these two roads. He then proceeded into the intersection and he alleges that a tall growth of weeds impaired his vision so that as he entered the intersection from the South, he could not see clearly. The Kindvall vehicle then pulled into the path of the Leonard vehicle, causing damage to the claimant. The claimant had the right-of- way. The tall growth of weeds was along a roadway right-of-way which would have been the responsibility of the Weld County Road Maintenance Department to maintain. Under the statute, the tall growth of weeds would be a dangerous condition along a public highway, road or street: It is unknown at this time whether the State of Colorado had any obligation for maintenance. C. The name and address of any public employee involved: Any names are unknown at this time. However, claimant believes that agents of Weld County, in particular the Weld County Road Maintenance Department, would have had responsibility for maintenance of this roadway right- of-way. D. A concise statement of the nature and extent of the injury claimed to have been suffered: As a result of this collision, at a minimum, claimant suffered a fractured right ankle; four fractured ribs; a sore and swollen left wrist; a lacerated bottom lip which had to be reconstructed; extensive dental work, as well as pain and suffering. The permanent effect of these damages is still unknown. In addition, claimant has suffered loss of enjoyment of life with regard to these injuries. BREGA & WINTERS P. C.
