Additional questions regarding the information set forth in this report may be directed to the office of the District's General Counsel, McGeady Becher Cortese Williams P.C., 450 E. 17th Avenue, Suite 400, Denver, Colorado 80203, (303) 592-4380, during regular business hours and pursuant to the Rules and Regulations adopted by the District. All information provided in this summary is through December 31, 2024. 1. Capital Improvement Progress Report. (a) Summary of Description and Mapping of Completed Improvements from Date of Organization through December 31 of the Year Prior to the Year of the Report: No improvements were completed as of December 31, 2024. Please see response in 1(b) below. The District returned to active status on March 5, 2020 after being in inactive status since January 1, 2016. (b) Summary of Description and Drawing of Improvements Proposed to be Constructed within 36 Months of January 1 of the Year of the Report ("Three Year CIP Plan"): A Three -Year CIP Plan was not prepared by the District as of December 31, 2024, as preliminary planning and engineering was not completed as of year-end. Since its organization in 2004 through December 31, 2024, the District has been focusing on planning, engineering, administrative and legal matters related to the provision of water and wastewater improvements and services to service providers in Weld County (the "County"). Among the proposed service providers that the District is expected to service is the Pioneer Community Authority Board (the "CAB"). The CAB was formed by execution of the Pioneer Community Authority Board Establishment Agreement on August 26, 2020 and the First Amended and Restated Pioneer Community Authority Board on September 30, 2020 (collectively, the "CABEA"). The CAB is made up of Pioneer Regional Metropolitan District and Keenesburg Parkway Metropolitan District No. 1 (formerly Pioneer Metropolitan District No. 1), Keenesburg Parkway Metropolitan District No. 2 (formerly Pioneer Metropolitan District No. 3), Pioneer Metropolitan District Nos. 2 and 4-6 (collectively, the "Pioneer Districts"). The Service Plans for the Pioneer Districts were approved by Weld County on February 6, 2006. The CABEA is to function as the Facilities Funding, Construction and Operations Agreement contemplated by Service Plans of the CAB Districts (as defined in the CABEA). The CAB shall plan for, design and construct, furnish, operate and maintain the Public Improvements and shall provide services authorized by the Service Plans, and to which each CAB District shall transfer certain revenues received by such respective CAB District in order to fund the Actual Operation and Maintenance Costs (as defined therein). Under the CABEA, it is the intent of the CAB Districts that the CAB will own, operate, 1 CoMMvn'.GQ.-1--�QnS of5/20(25 2025-2355 S13012-2- maintain, finance and construct the Public Improvements pursuant to a Long -Term Capital Improvements Plan. The District is in receipt of a Capital Improvements Plan prepared by the CAB (the "CAB CIP"). As mentioned above, the CAB will be the District's first recipient of the District's water and wastewater services. The CAB CIP contemplates capital improvements, including but not limited to, wastewater treatment plant improvements, water main improvements, sanitary sewer improvements, irrigation main improvements and storm sewer improvements. The District adopts those portions of the CAB CIP, pertaining to wholesale water and wastewater improvements as its current long term improvements plan. It is anticipated that the District will adopt its own CIP at such time it has other users in its service area. The utility plan and application for site location for the wastewater treatment facility that was submitted to the North Front Range Water Quality Planning Association (the "Association") on November 16, 2006, received conditional approval of the Association on April 26, 2007. The District submitted to the Association on December 21, 2021, an Amended Wastewater Utility Plan Update related to the 208 Areawide Water Quality Management Plan Amendment — New Lift Station or Capacity Increase. The District submitted to the Association on September 13, 2022 the District's Utility Plan. The District submitted to the Association in December 2022, an Amendment to the 208 Areawide Water Quality Management Plan — New Wastewater Treatment Facility & 208 Wastewater Utility Service Area Modification. Design and permitting of the Wastewater Treatment Facility commenced in 2023. On May 22, 2025, the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment granted approval of the Site Location Approval for a new domestic wastewater treatment plant. On June 2, 2025, the revised construction documents and Basis of Design Report was submitted for construction permits. With respect to water service, in February of 2006, the District filed in Water Division No. 1, an application for determination of rights to ground water in the not nontributary Arapahoe Aquifer underlying approximately 650 acres and in the nontributary Larmie-Fox Hills Aquifer underlying approximately 5,668 acres, which acreages overlap. A decree granting the application was entered on December 29, 2006 entitling the District to withdraw 5.7 acre feet per year from the not nontributary Arapahoe Aquifer and 1,281.9 acre feet per year from the nontributary Laramie -Fox Hills Aquifer subject to the terms of the decree. The District no longer is the applicant nor has any interest in the above -referenced water rights as of approximately August, 2010. With respect to providing service to other service providers, the District completed the sale of Well 31652FP and associated water rights to the Town of Keenesburg ("Town") on July 26, 2006. As of July 31, 2025, 2019, all of the District's Service Area has been annexed into the Town, including the approximately 3,400 -acre development now known as Fruition, which development is anticipated to be developed with single family and multi -family homes, commercial, retail, and other amenities (the "Fruition Development"). It has been contemplated that the District will provide water and sewer service to the Fruition Development. 2 4902-4109-7822, v. 1 Doc ID: 0d2ab776ff538adb6609f160881a913f4b8c1577 (c) Summary of Infrastructure Phasing and Schedules of Improvements Described in Three Year CIP Plan: Please see response in 1(b) above. 2.

On February 15, 2021, the District adopted Rules and Regulations which replace and supersede in their entirety the Initial Rules and Regulations, a copy of which is attached hereto.

The District's service area is located entirely within Weld County, Colorado. The District was formed by Court Order recorded with the Weld County Clerk and Recorder on December 1, 2004. At the District's most recent election, held on May 6, 2014, the electorate authorized general obligation debt to provide financing for the design, acquisition, construction and installation of essential public - purpose facilities in the amount of $324,000,000 for each purpose including water, sewer, streets, and mosquito control, $324,000,000 for agreements with other governments for District improvements, $324,000,000 for debt refunding, and $324,000,000 for operations and maintenance. Debt is subject to the terms of the Service Plan. The electorate also approved the removal of limitations imposed by the TABOR Amendment and any other law that purports to limit the District's revenue or expenditures. The District has no employees and all administrative functions are contractual. The District prepares its budget on the modified accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the requirements of Colorado Revised Statutes C.R.S. 29-1-105 using its best estimates as of the date of the budget hearing. These estimates are based on expected conditions and its expected course of actions. The assumptions disclosed herein are those that the District believes are significant to the budget. There will usually be differences between the budget and actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material. Revenues The District has no revenue. Expenditures General and Administrative No expenditures are anticipated in 2025. Debt and Leases The District has no debt or operating or capital leases. 3 Doc ID: 0d2ab776ff538adb6609f160881a913f4b8c1577 RESOURCE COLORADO WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT 2025 BUDGET SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS Reserves Emergency Reserve TABOR requires local governments to establish Emergency Reserves. These reserves must be at least 3% of fiscal year spending. Since the District does not anticipate generating any revenue nor incurring any expense, an emergency reserve is not reflected. This information is an integral part of the accompanying budget. 4 Doc ID: 0d2ab776ff538adb6609f160881a913f4b8c1577 I, Lisa A.

The District's service area is located entirely within Weld County, Colorado. The District was formed by Court Order recorded with the Weld County Clerk and Recorder on December 1, 2004. At the District's most recent election, held on May 6, 2014, the electorate authorized general obligation debt to provide financing for the design, acquisition, construction and installation of essential public - purpose facilities in the amount of $324,000,000 for each purpose including water, sewer, streets, and mosquito control, $324,000,000 for agreements with other governments for District improvements, $324,000,000 for debt refunding, and $324,000,000 for operations and maintenance. Debt is subject to the terms of the Service Plan. The electorate also approved the removal of limitations imposed by the TABOR Amendment and any other law that purports to limit the District's revenue or expenditures. The District has no employees and all administrative functions are contractual. The District prepares its budget on the modified accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the requirements of Colorado Revised Statutes C.R.S. 29-1-105 using its best estimates as of the date of the budget hearing. These estimates are based on expected conditions and its expected course of actions. The assumptions disclosed herein are those that the District believes are significant to the budget. There will usually be differences between the budget and actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material. Revenues The District has no revenue. Expenditures General and Administrative No expenditures are anticipated in 2025. Debt and Leases The District has no debt or operating or capital leases. 3 RESOURCE COLORADO WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT 2025 BUDGET SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS Reserves Emergency Reserve TABOR requires local governments to establish Emergency Reserves. These reserves must be at least 3% of fiscal year spending. Since the District does not anticipate generating any revenue nor incurring any expense, an emergency reserve is not reflected. This information is an integral part of the accompanying budget. 4 I, Lisa A. Jacoby, hereby certify that I am the duly appointed Secretary of the Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation Metropolitan District, and that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the budget for the budget year 2025, duly adopted at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation Metropolitan District held on November 18, 2024.
