Budget Message
Service:
The Weld County Federal Mineral Lease Act District (the "District") was established on August 16,
2011, nunc-pro-tunc, June 29, 2011, by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County.
The District Board shall distribute, on an annual basis, all of the funding that the District receives
from Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), except such funds as expended or reserved
for administrative expenses, as permitted by C.R.S. §30-20-1907 (l)(b), to areas within the
unincorporated areas of Weld County that are socially or economically impacted by the
development, processing, or energy conversion of fuels and minerals leased under the Federal
"Mineral Lands Leasing Act" of February 25, 1920, as amended. In doing so, the District Board
may review any reports or studies made or may seek any additional reports or studies it deems
necessary, regarding the distribution of funding in the District. The term, "on an annual basis", as
referred herein, shall mean within one year from the date the funds are actually received from
DOLA.
After the annual receipt of Federal Mineral lease funds, the District Board shall solicit projects to
fund from eligible entities which fit the above criteria.
The District Board may cooperate or contract with any individuals or entities, and any
governmental entity, and any other district formed under the Act, through the intergovernmental
agreement ("IGA") process authorized by C.R.S. §29-1-201 et seq., and the Colorado Constitution
to provide any function or service, including without limitation, administrative or treasury functions
lawfully authorized to each of the cooperating or contracting districts, including the sharing of
costs, as long as the cooperation or contracts are authorized by each district with the approval of
each district's board of directors. Any such contract shall set forth fully the purposes, powers,
rights, obligations, and responsibilities, financial or otherwise, of the contracting parties. Where
other provisions of law provide requirements for special types of intergovernmental contracting or
cooperation, those special provisions shall control.
The Weld County Federal Mineral Lease District is a separate legal entity responsible for the
administration of all of the funding that the District receives from Colorado Department of Local
Affairs for the purpose distributing the funds to areas within the unincorporated areas of Weld
County that are socially or economically impacted by the development, processing, or energy
conversion of fuels and minerals leased under the Federal "Mineral Lands Leasing Act" of
February 25, 1920, as amended.
The primary funding resource for the District is the funds it receives from the Colorado Department
of Local Affairs from the Federal "Mineral Lands Leasing Act" of February 25, 1920, as amended.
Per the Colorado Department of Local Affairs since all the revenue for the District is from a federal
source the District is not subject to TABOR revenue or property tax limitations. Therefore, no
three -percent TABOR reserve is required since the TABOR revenue amount to calculate the
reserve is zero.
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 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 the funds it receives from the
Colorado Department of Local Affairs from the Federal "Mineral Lands Leasing Act" of
February 25, 1920, as amended. Expenditures are generally recorded when the related fund
liability is incurred.
Lease -Purchase Agreements:
The following supplemental data regarding lease purchase agreements involving real property
pursuant to C.R.S. §29-1-104(2)(d), 1973, as amended:
