The following is presented for your information. 1.

Box ' 200 Estes Park, Colorado 80517 Dear Sirs: In compliance with your request, I have reviewed the amended trticles of Association of Larimer-Weld Regional Council of Governments forwarded to me per a copy of a letter to Glenn K. Billings, dated October 31 , 1973. From my review of said Amended Articles of Association, I cannot approve the same. I raise the following questions, and make the following recommendations or suggested changes: ' . Article I, Section 1 . The reference as to the com- position of the Council is not clearly set forth. In Article IV, Section 2 there is a provision that the "Council of the Whole" shall meet. What is the composition of that council? The whole population of Larimer and Meld Counties? I suggest that the second sentence of Article I, Section 1 should read as follows if this is the intention of the parties: The Council is comprised of the duly appointed representatives from the Counties of Larimer and Weld and the municipal cor- tI, porations located therein which ratify this Agreement in writing. 2. Article I, Section 2. What is the total membership of the Council, because it is not defined in the Articles. Does the "total membership" have any voting rights? x. Article I, Section 3 should be amended to state in the third line, before the word "Larimer" the following: representatives from, if that is the intention of the parties. 4. The word "immediate" in the second line on page 2 should be changed to "immediately" or omitted. 5. The meaning of Article I, Section 3, a. and b. is not clear. I suggest the following wording: a. an elected member of a city council or board of trustees of a municipal corporation who will be serving during his or her term of office; or r'~ 1 . Mayor and Board of Trustees Town of Estes Park November 6, 1973 Page 2 b. an elected mayor of a municipal corporation., serving during the term of his or her office. 6. The second paragraph following subparagraph b. , Article I, Section 3 raises soma question as to wbat it to actually means. The Section appears to me to provide that the participating municipal corporations shall jointly vote to determine how each municipal corporation's voting repre- sentative shall be selected. Is it the intention that the governing; body of each participating municipal corporation shall determine how its representative shall be selected? If the foregoing is the intention, it is my opinion that the paragraph should be reworded to so provide. 7. There is a typographical error in the second line 11-22 of Article I, Section 4 in that the reference is to paragraph 2 and, in my opinion, the reference should be to paragraph 3. 8. I suggest the following wording for the last sentence in Section 4, Article I to more clearly state the intention of the parties: Any vacancies occurring on the Governing Board (� shall be filled in the same manner as provided above for the original designation. T 9. I suggest the following wording for Section 6, Article I to more clearly state the intention of the parties: Each municipality shall have the right to designate an alternate. �f In the first instance, the alternate shall be selected by the municipality at the same time that the voting representative is selected. The alternate shall meet the qualifications of the voting representative as set forth in Article I, Section 3. 10. In my opinion, subparagraph h. , Section 2, Article II provides that the Council speaks exclusively for all of the municipalities. Is it the intention to foreclose a municipality from having the ability of speaking as to its position if it should disagree with the Council? 11 . The word "officials" in the first full paragraph of au ph(5)under k.of Section 2,Article II should,in my op on, be stricken and the words "governmental entities" substituted therefor. The officials are not the contracting agencies. It is the governmental entities that are contracting. 12. The paragraph after subparagraph e. , Section 3, Article II appears to conflict with the provisions of Article Mayor and Board of Trustees Town of Estes Park November 6, 1973 Page 3 IV, Section 4 in that said paragraph provides "upon agreement of all interested member jurisdictions." whereas said Section 4 provides that a vote of eight (8) members is required to adopt any matter before a Governing Board.. The Governing Board is granted the authority in Article I, Section 3 to "conduct the business of the Council between general meetings." There appears to be no limitation as to what action the govern- ing Board may take; therefore, I assume that that power would, U in my opinion, include exercising all powers set forth in CRS 1963, Chapter 88, Article (as amended) . The paragraph after said subparagraph e. appears to substantiate that fact by providing "the Governing Board of the Council may exercise all powers set forth in CRS 1963, Chapter 88, Article 2 (as amended) , . . " Is it the intention that all governmental entities that are members of the Council must agree, or is ��; it the intention that all members of the Governing Board of the Council must agree, or is it the intention that a vote of eight (8) members will have the authority to make binding --� agreements? Is it the intention of the Articles of Association D to be binding upon all of the municipalities within the r' respective counties; if so, I question the authority of the Council to bind those municipalities unless they are members of the Council. There is a typographical error in the first word of the paragraph after subparagraph e. , Section 3, Article II. The �,� word should be "To. fl " 13. It is my opinion that the word "whereby" in the fourth line of Section 3, Article II should be "where. " 14. In Article III, Section 1 , the reference to Article I, paragraph 3 should be Article I, paragraph 2. 15. What is the composition of the "Council of the Whole" referred to in Article IV, Section 2? 16. It is my opinion that the words "or alternates" should be added to Section 3, Article IV. 17. It is my opinion that the wording of Section 5, Article IV is confusing and I suggest the following warding; 5. Action of the Governing Board shall, be by a majority vote except where the issue involves an amendment of the Articles, or the adoption, of the budget and funding of the Council, etc. Of r- Mayor and Board. of Trustees Town of Estes Park, Colorado November 6, 1973 Page 4 18. In Article VI, Section 1 , the reference to Article IV, Section 4 should be Article IV, Section 5. Is it the intention that all funds required by the Council shall be apportioned solely to the counties and not t::ie municipalities? It is my opinion that such an inter- pretation could be made of the provisions in the last part o£ said 4ection 1 . 19. The last phrase of Section 3, Article VI "or as otherwise required by law." raises a question as to what is ` required. Otherwise, what is required by law? 20. In Article VII, Section 2, the reference to Article IV, Lection 4 should be Article IV, Section 5. f.. 21 . Should not some provisions be made for the with- drawal of a municipality from the Council and the effect of 11 such withdrawal? �I • If you have any question �- cerning the above, please advis t: me.

If the term "total membership" means those designated representatives from the counties , cities and towns ratifying the Articles, then the term "total membership" should be so defined. c.

" . 1 y . r I • Mr. Don W. Hataway November 2, 1973 Page Three 3. The following comments pertain to policy matters which, to me, are rather important: • a. Page 2, paragraph beginning with the 6th line: This paragraph means that the municipal • corporations will select their voting repre- sentatives in the same manner as the majority vote of the participating member muncipal . corporations shall determine. If it is the • intent that each city determine its own method of selection, this is not provided for. Like- wise, the method of selection according to this paragraph would be determined by a majority vote of all member municipal corporations, not just those entitled to otherwise vote. • b. Page 4, Article II, paragraph 2 h. , states that the Council shall speak as spokesman for local governments on matters of regional or mutual . concern. This means that an individual city, if it were a member of the Council, could not theoretically make its feelings known on such matters. For example, it is undoubtedly true that the cities will not have the same viewpoint concerning planning matters; since planning will be o£ a regional concern the Council of Govern- • ments, after majority vote, would tell any . interested body such as the state, what the • region felt; and, according to the Articles, the City has delegated this responsibility to the Council of Governments. I do not believe this is ' either wise or necessary. - c. Page 7, Article VI, provides that the two counties shall provide all the funds required by the Council. ' It does not say participating municipalities and counties. I do not know what the intent was, but the way it is drafted, the cities would have no financial obligation. d. No provision is made for withdrawal by a municipality from the Council of Governments or the, effect of such withdrawal. It does not seem to me to be wise for the city to bind itself in perpetuity. i + • • Mr. Don W. Hataway November 2, 1973 Page Four • Though clearly we are reaching a point where certain municipal functions are handled on a regional basis there exists, and will continue to exist, a grey area in which each individual • city will have its own solution to a particular problem. • Constitutionally I do not believe that this right of the City for self-determination should be abrogated to any other entity and as such, the City should be permitted to withdraw and not be subject to acts of the Council of Governments. Inasmuch as there are substantial typographical errors and corrections that need to be made, and since certain policy issues are not clearly spelled out, I cannot approve as to form the proposed Articles.

Hataway City Manager City of Loveland P. O. Box 419 Loveland, Colorado 80537 Dear Don: I have received the Amended Articles on the Regional COG. The changed which we suggested have been made with two exceptions: 1. Page 2, 2nd paragraph, still states that the representatives from the municipal corporations shall be selected in a manner agreed upon by majority vote of the participating municipalities. This means that the repre- sentatives from the cities will all be selected in the same manner and the manner of seledtion will be determined by the participating cities. 2. We had originally suggested on page 7 , Article VI, Paragraph 1, 4th line, that "Section 4" should read "Section 5" . I §elieve this change should be made. I have approved the Amended Articles as to form, however, I feel attention should be given to the above items. Very truly yours, Lynn A.
