The budget was prepared by the Fire Chief and Executive Staff of the District and is based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The initial 2020 Draft Budget was presented to the Board of Directors on October 14, 2019 with public hearings and subsequent adoption by the Board of Directors on November 12, 2019 and December 9, 2019. District Background The District is a quasi -municipal corporation and a political subdivision of the State of Colorado. The District is located in Southwest Weld County, in the State of Colorado, and provides all - hazards emergency services to the Town of Frederick, the Town of Firestone, and portions of unincorporated Weld County. These services are provided through Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) with both the Towns of Frederick and Firestone that assisted in the formation of the Frederick -Firestone Fire Protection District as the sole all -hazards emergency services provider to the corporate limits of both towns. These IGAs were established in 2003 and require the District to align its boundaries with the Towns' whenever the Towns' boundaries expand through annexations. The District was created in 1975 by order and decree of the District Court in Weld County, Colorado. The District's jurisdiction consists of approximately 36 square miles of Southwest Weld County. The population served by the District is approximately 35,314 residents. The District is governed by an elected Board of Directors and operated by full-time paid Executive and Administrative Staff, Paramedics, EMTs, and Firefighters. The District provides fire suppression, fire prevention, public education, technical rescue, water & ice rescue, hazardous materials response, oil and gas emergency response, community risk - reduction, emergency management and preparedness, and advanced life support (ALS) emergency medical transport services within its boundaries. The District also provides these services outside its boundaries pursuant to numerous mutual aid and automatic aid agreements with other fire protection districts and municipal fire departments. Pursuant to these agreements, each emergency service agency pledges to assist the others when necessary in providing additional fire, rescue, and emergency medical equipment and personnel for the purpose of delivering firefighting, specialized rescue, and emergency medical care, and medical transport within the jurisdiction of the other emergency service agency. These services are provided through four (4) fire stations, each having bays for housing vehicles and living areas for the District's Paramedics, EMTs and Firefighters. In addition, the District's Administration is located at 8426 Kosmerl Place in Frederick. Its main purpose is for housing all administrative personnel, training, public education and includes the Carbon Valley Emergency Operations Center. Wage The District currently owns five (5) Type I Engines, one (1) Aerial Apparatus, one (1) Heavy Rescue, two (2) Type VI Engines, one (1) Water Tender, four (4) ALS Transport Ambulances, and ten (10) additional support vehicles. Over the past three (3) years, the District has responded to an average of more than 2,400 calls annually and impacted over 19,000 citizens each year. The District has seen an approximate six (6) percent increase in service demands each year for the last five (5) years.

An additional 0.404 mills is levied for debt service for General Obligation Bonds approved by voters in 2002 and refinanced by the District in 2011 in order to save tax payers money. Both Frederick and Firestone's Urban Renewal Authorities (FURAs) are active with the District in which the District allows portions of their tax appropriations to pass through to both Towns in order to enhance growth into the area. The pass through of funding is from the District's mill levy and the funds collected by the FURAs are in several Tax Increment Financing (TIF) areas. Based on a Net Assessed Valuation of $755,520,480, which includes the FURA TIF areas' valuation of $25,929,166, the total property tax and TIF pass through revenue for the District in 2020 is anticipated to be $10,436,105 for both General and Bond mills. An additional $1,100,360 in revenue is anticipated from other revenue sources including Specific Ownership and fees for services rendered. The main increases in revenue for 2020 is in correlation with the approval of the 2.54 mill levy increase by voters in November of 2019 and an increase in assessed valuation provided by Weld County as 2019 was a reassessment year within the county. 2' Page Noteworthy Projects in 2020 In addition to funding normal operations required to maintain current service delivery levels, the 2020 Budget reflects the following notable projects to maintain and enhance emergency services provided to our citizens and visitors. Staffing & Personnel: • Due to continuing increases in community development in both residential and commercial, emergency service demands continue to increase workloads on existing line and administrative staff. Compounding the growth in service demands, assessed valuations of property remain volatile due to oil & gas fluctuations, errors in production reporting by oil and gas companies and the Gallagher Amendment which continues to ratchet down the residential assessment rate state wide. With the passing of the mill levy increase of 2.54 mills by the District's voters in November of 2019, the District will be able to fully address these service and personnel gaps the District has been facing for numerous years. For 2020 the District will implement the following Staffing Plan enhancements: ✓ In order to begin to address the three (3) person fire companies, which is an industry description of a minimum of three (3) firefighters on each firefighting apparatus (engine or ladder truck). NFPA 1710 states for full staffing of firefighters, each fire apparatus should have a total of four (4) personnel on each apparatus. The District has operated with two (2) person engines for over a decade and now we are in the process of correcting this service gap. The District will be hiring a minimum of twelve (12) firefighters certified as an emergency medical technician and/or paramedic in 2020. This will be the first step in increasing our staff to provide safer and more efficient services to the public and for our personnel. ✓ In order to begin to address the overflow and backlog of work within the Planning Section which conducts all Community Risk Reduction programs including life -safety and fire code enforcement, construction and post -construction inspections the District will be hiring a full time Fire Prevention Specialist in 2020. The Fire Prevention Specialist will assist with and conduct all high -hazard inspections, restaurant inspections, and industrial inspections including hemp extraction sites which are becoming more prevalent within our community. The overall mission is to reduce risk and ensure all citizens remain safe in our community while ensuring all businesses and contractors operate under current building, fire and life -safety codes. This position will report to the Assistant Chief of Planning. ✓ In order to begin to address the overflow and backlog of work within daily operations of more than sixty (60) full time staff, five (5) District buildings and a fleet of more than twenty (20) apparatus the District will implement a Support Services Specialist position in 2020. This position will support all sections within the organization and will be coordinating and maintaining all components such as supplies, uniforms, personal protective clothing and equipment, fleet maintenance, facility maintenance, computer and information technology equipment, District asset and inventory management and overall support functions of the District. This position will directly report to the Assistant Chief of Planning. 3IPage Fleet & Equipment: • The District will purchase a new Water Tender in 2020. The new Tender will replace the District's 1988 Water Tender and will include all the new safety features required by the National Fire Protection Agency for the safety of our personnel and community. The District is also looking at ways to integrate multiple mission compatible components into our apparatus moving forward into the future. • The District will be developing specifications in 2020 to request for proposal (RFP) to replace the District's 2004 Heavy Rescue and replace the 2003 Ladder Truck which both are slated for replacement in 2021. The District has been and will continue to monitor the data, review industry standards, coordinate with the Insurance Service Office to ensure proper standards are met now and into the future life -span of these apparatuses. • The District will be replacing all of its expired rescue equipment that has met its life expectancy in 2020. This equipment is utilized on all rescue emergencies from traffic accidents to technical rescues, such as a trench collapse or building collapse. This equipment will be housed throughout the District to ensure proper location and staffing are satisfactory to meet the needs of our customers at any given time. • The District will be outfitting all front-line apparatus and positions with ballistic personnel protective equipment to include ballistic vests and helmets. The District trains with the Town's Police Departments and other local law enforcement agencies on civil unrest, school and large assembly active shooters and many other unfortunate events our community could face. With this equipment being provided, District personnel can now move forward into an active shooter event to complete extraction of citizens for safety and medical care of those wounded along with local law enforcement. Facilities: • The District will complete a partial remodel of the living quarters of Fire Station 1. This remodel will enhance the living area to include the fitness room, offices and training room of Station 1. Station 1 is the oldest fire station in the District and is almost 45 years old and in need to be brought up to current life -safety standards. General Obligation Bonds (Debt Service). • The District will continue paying down the 2003 General Obligation Bonds in 2020 with two (2) interest payments and one (1) principal payment. The total of the payments will be $318,950, and the remaining outstanding debt at the end of 2020 will be $600,000 down from the original $4,045,000 in 2003. The Bond Fund mill levy will be .404 in 2020 to account for the increase in property tax revenue and make the 2020 minimum debt payment. The District is on schedule to pay the general obligation bonds off in 2021, a year and half earlier than required. 4IPage Districts Reserves Explanation: • The District's Reserves were established to provide for three (3) main purposes: 1. To provide for emergency funding of unanticipated expenses resulting from natural or manmade emergencies, unanticipated revenue shortages, additional expenses not anticipated with approved projects; 2. To provide for capital planning and life -cycle replacement through an annual contribution for fleet, capital equipment, and facilities purchasing; 3. To provide for a holding account for unanticipated bond revenues collected in above bond expenses in order to eliminate the Bond Mill Levy 1.5 years earlier than the expiration of the Bond. • All reserves are maintained in either a ColoTrust Account (Plus or Prime), Checking Account, or Savings Account. All funds in the ColoTrust Account or any investment account must be maintained, secured and invested only in investments specifically authorized by Federal and State standards. District Reserves in 2020: 1. Operational Contingency Reserve. This is established in a ColoTrust Prime account to allow for funding flexibility during short periods of economic downturns and to provide for funding of unforeseen expenses that occur during a fiscal budget year. The District targets to retain 25% of its operating budget in Restricted Reserve. This is accomplished through two (2) accounts; the restricted TABOR Reserve and the restricted Operating Contingency Reserve. The TABOR Reserve is 3% of the target and the Operating Contingency Reserve targets the remaining 22%. Each year the District adds general funds to the reserves which has increased the funding level above the 25% target. The projected 2020 year-end balance of this reserve will be $2,045,369.

These funds can only be accessed in times of a declared emergency and only for certain restricted purchases. The used funds are required to be repaid in the following budget year. The projected 2020 year-end balance of this reserve will be $278,914. 3. Bond & Debt Service Reserve. The Debt Service Schedule displays the Bond principal, interest, and fee payments from 2003 to maturity in 2023. This reserve was created to eliminate the Bond Mill Levy 1.5+ years earlier than the Bond maturity in 2023. The projected 2020 year-end balance of this reserve will be $320,250. 4. Equipment Reserve. The Equipment Reserve is utilized for fleet and capital equipment assets at the end of their life -cycle or additions as the District continues to grow and service demands increase. This schedule is adjusted annually for projected inflationary and material increases. The projected 2020 year-end balance of this reserve will be $1,983,302. 5IPage 5. Facilities Reserve. The Facility Reserve is utilized each year for any needed maintenance or renovation projects at existing facilities meeting the capital expenditure threshold, furnishings or major construction, such as new fire stations and the potential accusation of land for future District facilities.

Whereas, the Frederick -Firestone Fire Protection District ("District") is a political subdivision of the State, organized pursuant to the Colorado Special District Act, C.R.S. § 32-1- 101, et seq., to provide fire suppression, fire prevention, and public education, emergency medical, rescue, ambulance, and hazardous materials services (collectively, "Emergency Services") to the citizens and property within its jurisdiction; Whereas, pursuant to C.R.S. §32-1-1001(1)(h), the District Board of Directors ("Board") is charged with the duty of managing, controlling and supervising all of the business and affairs of the District, including the use of District funds; Whereas, from time to time, the Fire Chief or Chief Staff may identify local, state, federal, or private grant opportunities that, if awarded to the District, will provide financial, operational, or other assistance that will help the District provide safer, higher quality, and more efficient and cost-effective Emergency Services; Whereas, the grant application process is often time consuming, and requires the District to provide extensive information and adhere to numerous technical requirements in order to meet eligibility requirements for the respective grant; Whereas, from time to time, the Fire Chief or Chief Staff may identify a grant opportunity that would benefit the District, but that has an application deadline before the next regularly scheduled Board meeting, and that therefore does not allow the Fire Chief or Chief Staff to seek Board approval to apply for the respective grant; and, Whereas, the Board desires to help facilitate the timely application for local, state, federal, and private grants that the Fire Chief reasonably believes will benefit the District, by authorizing the Fire Chief and the Fire Chiefs designee(s) to apply for grants in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this Resolution. Now therefore, be it resolved by the Board of Directors of the Frederick -Firestone Fire Protection District that: 1. The Fire Chief, and the Fire Chief's designee(s), is authorized to apply for any local, state, federal, or private grant opportunity that the Fire Chief reasonably determines will benefit the District or the individuals the District serves, subject to the limitations and requirements set forth in this Resolution. 2. The Fire Chief shall not, without Board approval, submit or authorize submission of a grant application that, if the grant is awarded, requires the District to (i) provide "matching funds" equal to more than 50% of the grant money awarded to the District, or (ii) pay more than 50% of the cost of personnel, equipment, apparatus, or other items awarded to the District. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fire Chief shall not, without Board approval, submit or authorize submission of a grant application that, if the grant is awarded, would require the District to expend more than $100,000. 18 IPage 3. The Fire Chief shall not, without Board approval, submit or authorize submission of a grant application that cannot be withdrawn from consideration. 4. The Fire Chief shall provide the Board with written notification of any grant application the Fire Chief submits or authorizes for submission at least seven calendar days prior to the next regularly scheduled Board meeting occurring after the grant application is submitted. The Board may, my affirmative majority vote, direct the Fire Chief to withdraw any grant application submitted without prior Board approval that the Board determines, in its sole discretion, is not in the best interests of the District.

ARTICLE 1 SPECIAL DISTRICTS THAT LEVY TAXES FOR PAYMENT OF GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT (32-1-1603 C.R.S.). Taxing entities that are Special Districts or Subdistricts of Special Districts must certify separate mill levies and revenues to the Board of County Commissioners, one each for the funding requirements of each debt (32-1-1603, C.R.S.) Use additional pages as necessary. The Special District's or Subdistrict's total levies for general obligation bonds and total levies for contractual obligations should be recorded on Page 1, Lines 3 and 4 respectively.

Page 2 of 4 DLG 70 (Rev.6/16) Notes: A Taxing Entity —A jurisdiction authorized by law to impose ad valorem property taxes on taxable property located within its territorial limits (please see notes B, C, and H below). For purposes of the DLG 70 only, a taxing entity is also a geographic area formerly located within a taxing entity's boundaries for which the county assessor certifies a valuation for assessment and which is responsible for payment of its share until retirement of financial obligations incurred by the taxing entity when the area was part of the taxing entity. For example: an area of excluded property formerly within a special district with outstanding general obligation debt at the time of the exclusion or the area located within the former boundaries of a dissolved district whose outstanding general obligation debt service is administered by another local government. B Governing Body —The board of county commissioners, the city council, the board of trustees, the board of directors, or the board of any other entity that is responsible for the certification of the taxing entity's mill levy. For example: the board of county commissioners is the governing board ex officio of a county public improvement district (FED); the board of a water and sanitation district constitutes ex officio the board of directors of the water subdistrict. c Local Government - For purposes of this line on Page lof the DLG 70, the local government is the political subdivision under whose authority and within whose boundaries the taxing entity was created. The local government is authorized to levy property taxes on behalf of the taxing entity. For example, for the purposes of this form: 1. a municipality is both the local government and the taxing entity when levying its own levy for its entire jurisdiction; 2. a city is the local government when levying a tax on behalf of a business improvement district (BID) taxing entity which it created and whose city council is the BID board; 3. a fire district is the local government if it created a subdistrict, the taxing entity, on whose behalf the fire district levies property taxes. 4. a town is the local government when it provides the service for a dissolved water district and the town board serves as the board of a dissolved water district, the taxing entity, for the purpose of certifying a levy for the annual debt service on outstanding obligations. ° GROSS Assessed Value - There will be a difference between gross assessed valuation and net assessed valuation reported by the county assessor only if there is a "tax increment financing" entity (see below), such as a downtown development authority or an urban renewal authority, within the boundaries of the taxing entity. The board of county commissioners certifies each taxing entity's total mills upon the taxing entity's Gross Assessed Value found on Line 2 of Form DLG 57. Certification of Valuation by County Assessor, Form DLG 57 - The county assessor(s) uses this form (or one similar) to provide valuation for assessment information to a taxing entity. The county assessor must provide this certification no later than August 25th each year and may amend it, one time, prior to December 10th. Each entity must use the FINAL valuation provided by assessor when certifying a tax levy. F TIF Area —A downtown development authority (DDA) or urban renewal authority (URA), may form plan areas that use "tax increment financing" to derive revenue from increases in assessed valuation (gross minus net, Form DLG 57 Line 3) attributed to the activities/improvements within the plan area. The DDA or URA receives the differential revenue of each overlapping taxing entity's mill levy applied against the taxing entity's gross assessed value after subtracting the taxing entity's revenues derived from its mill levy applied against the net assessed value. G NET Assessed Value —The total taxable assessed valuation from which the taxing entity will derive revenues for its uses. It is found on Line 4 of Form DLG 57. Please Note: A downtown development authority (DDA) may be both a taxing entity and have also created its own TIF area and/or have a URA TIF Area within the DDA's boundaries. As a result DDAs may both receive operating revenue from their levy applied to their certified NET assessed value and also receive TIF revenue generated by any tax entity levies overlapping the DDA's TIF Area, including the DDA's own operating levy. Page 3 of 4 DLG 70 (Rev.6/16) H General Operating Expenses (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 1) —The levy and accompanying revenue reported on Line 1 is for general operations and includes, in aggregate, all levies for and revenues raised by a taxing entity for purposes not lawfully exempted and detailed in Lines 3 through 7 on Page 1 of the DLG 70. For example: a fire pension levy is included in general operating expenses, unless the pension is voter -approved, if voter -approved, use Line 7 (Other). Temporary Tax Credit for Operations (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 2) —The Temporary General Property Tax Credit/ Temporary Mill Levy Rate Reduction of 39-1-111.5, C.R.S. may be applied to the taxing entity's levy for general operations to effect refunds. Temporary Tax Credits (TTCs) are not applicable to other types of levies (non -general operations) certified on this form because these levies are adjusted from year to year as specified by the provisions of any contract or schedule of payments established for the payment of any obligation incurred by the taxing entity per 29-1-301(1.7), C.R.S., or they are certified as authorized at election per 29-1-302(2)(b), C.R.S. a General Obligation Bonds and Interest (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 3) —Enter on this line the total levy required to pay the annual debt service of all general obligation bonds. Per 29-1-301(1.7) C.R.S., the amount of revenue levied for this purpose cannot be greater than the amount of revenue required for such purpose as specified by the provisions of any contract or schedule of payments. Title 32, Article 1 Special districts and subdistricts must complete Page 2 of the DLG 70. x Contractual Obligation (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 4) —If repayment of a contractual obligation with property tax has been approved at election and it is not a general obligation bond (shown on Line 3), the mill levy is entered on this line. Per 29-1-301(1.7) C.R.S., the amount of revenue levied for this purpose cannot be greater than the amount of revenue required for such purpose as specified by the provisions of any contract or schedule of payments. L Capital Expenditures (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 5) —These revenues are not subject to the statutory property tax revenue limit if they are approved by counties and municipalities through public hearings pursuant to 29-1- 301(1.2) C.R.S. and for special districts through approval from the Division of Local Government pursuant to 29- 1-302(1.5) C.R.S. or for any taxing entity if approved at election. Only levies approved by these methods should be entered on Line 5. M Refunds/Abatements (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 6) —The county assessor reports on the Certification of Valuation (DLG 57 Line 11) the amount of revenue from property tax that the local government did not receive in the prior year because taxpayers were given refunds for taxes they had paid or they were given abatements for taxes originally charged to them due to errors made in their property valuation. The local government was due the tax revenue and would have collected it through an adjusted mill levy if the valuation errors had not occurred. Since the government was due the revenue, it may levy, in the subsequent year, a mill to collect the refund/abatement revenue. An abatement/refund mill levy may generate revenues up to, but not exceeding, the refund/abatement amount from Form DLG 57 Line 11. 1. Please Note: Pursuant to Article X, Section 3 of the Colorado Constitution, if the taxing entity is in more than one county, as with all levies, the abatement levy must be uniform throughout the entity's boundaries and certified the same to each county. To calculate the abatement/refund levy for a taxing entity that is located in more than one county, first total the abatement/refund amounts reported by each county assessor, then divide by the taxing entity's total net assessed value, then multiply by 1,000 and round down to the nearest three decimals to prevent levying for more revenue than was abated/refunded. This results in an abatement/refund mill levy that will be uniformly certified to all of the counties in which the taxing entity is located even though the abatement/refund did not occur in all the counties. N Other (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 7) —Report other levies and revenue not subject to 29-1-301 C.R.S. that were not reported above. For example: a levy for the purposes of television relay or translator facilities as specified in sections 29-7-101, 29-7-102, and 29-7-105 and 32-1-1005 (1) (a), C.R.S.; a voter -approved fire pension levy; a levy for special purposes such as developmental disabilities, open space, etc. Page 4 of 4 DLG 70 (Rev.6/16) 2019 DLG 70 Form Group 1 Final Audit Report 2019-12-10 Created: 2019-11-25 By: Scott Wright (swright@CO.WELD.CO.US) Status: Signed Transaction ID: CBJCHBCAABAAKiazf0e8wU2UlOPgFfcGQ_Hi5orf-E00 "2019 DLG 70 Form Group 1" History t Document created by Scott Wright (swright@CO.WELD.CO.US) 2019-11-25 - 9:12:23 PM GMT Document emailed to Clyde A.

The local government is authorized to levy property taxes on behalf of the taxing entity. For example, for the purposes of this form: 1. a municipality is both the local government and the taxing entity when levying its own levy for its entire jurisdiction; 2. a city is the local government when levying a tax on behalf of a business improvement district (BID) taxing entity which it created and whose city council is the BID board; 3. a fire district is the local government if it created a subdistrict, the taxing entity, on whose behalf the fire district levies property taxes. 4. a town is the local government when it provides the service for a dissolved water district and the town board serves as the board of a dissolved water district, the taxing entity, for the purpose of certifying a levy for the annual debt service on outstanding obligations. GROSS Assessed Value - There will be a difference between gross assessed valuation and net assessed valuation reported by the county assessor only if there is a "tax increment financing" entity (see below), such as a downtown development authority or an urban renewal authority, within the boundaries of the taxing entity. The board of county commissioners certifies each taxing entity's total mills upon the taxing entity's Gross Assessed Value found on Line 2 of Form DLG 57. E Certification of Valuation by County Assessor, Form DLG 57 - The county assessor(s) uses this form (or one similar) to provide valuation for assessment information to a taxing entity. The county assessor must provide this certification no later than August 25th each year and may amend it, one time, prior to December 10`x. Each entity must use the FINAL valuation provided by assessor when certifying a tax levy. F TIF Area —A downtown development authority (DDA) or urban renewal authority (URA), may form plan areas that use "tax increment financing" to derive revenue from increases in assessed valuation (gross minus net, Form DLG 57 Line 3) attributed to the activities/improvements within the plan area. The DDA or URA receives the differential revenue of each overlapping taxing entity's mill levy applied against the taxing entity's gross assessed value after subtracting the taxing entity's revenues derived from its mill levy applied against the net assessed value. G NET Assessed Value —The total taxable assessed valuation from which the taxing entity will derive revenues for its uses. It is found on Line 4 of Form DLG 57. Please Note: A downtown development authority (DDA) may be both a taxing entity and have also created its own TIF area and/or have a URA TIF Area within the DDA's boundaries. As a result DDAs may both receive operating revenue from their levy applied to their certified NET assessed value and also receive TIF revenue generated by any tax entity levies overlapping the DDA's TIF Area, including the DDA's own operating levy. Page 3 of 4 DLG 70 (Rev.6/16) r H General Operating Expenses (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 1) —The levy and accompanying revenue reported on Line 1 is for general operations and includes, in aggregate, all levies for and revenues raised by a taxing entity for purposes not lawfully exempted and detailed in Lines 3 through 7 on Page 1 of the DLG 70. For example: a fire pension levy is included in general operating expenses, unless the pension is voter -approved, if voter -approved, use Line 7 (Other). Temporary Tax Credit for Operations (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 2) —The Temporary General Property Tax Credit/ Temporary Mill Levy Rate Reduction of 39-1-111.5, C.R.S. may be applied to the taxing entity's levy for general operations to effect refunds. Temporary Tax Credits (TTCs) are not applicable to other types of levies (non -general operations) certified on this form because these levies are adjusted from year to year as specified by the provisions of any contract or schedule of payments established for the payment of any obligation incurred by the taxing entity per 29-1-301(1.7), C.R.S., or they are certified as authorized at election per 29-1-302(2)(b), C.R.S. General Obligation Bonds and Interest (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 3) —Enter on this line the total levy required to pay the annual debt service of all general obligation bonds. Per 29-1-301(1.7) C.R.S., the amount of revenue levied for this purpose cannot be greater than the amount of revenue required for such purpose as specified by the provisions of any contract or schedule of payments. Title 32, Article 1 Special districts and subdistricts must complete Page 2 of the DLG 70. K Contractual Obligation (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 4) —If repayment of a contractual obligation with property tax has been approved at election and it is not a general obligation bond (shown on Line 3), the mill levy is entered on this line. Per 29-1-301(1.7) C.R.S., the amount of revenue levied for this purpose cannot be greater than the amount of revenue required for such purpose as specified by the provisions of any contract or schedule of payments. L Capital Expenditures (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 5) —These revenues are not subject to the statutory property tax revenue limit if they are approved by counties and municipalities through public hearings pursuant to 29-1- 301(1.2) C.R.S. and for special districts through approval from the Division of Local Government pursuant to 29- 1-302(1.5) C.R.S. or for any taxing entity if approved at election. Only levies approved by these methods should be entered on Line 5. M Refunds/Abatements (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 6) —The county assessor reports on the Certification of Valuation (DLG 57 Line 11) the amount of revenue from property tax that the local government did not receive in the prior year because taxpayers were given refunds for taxes they had paid or they were given abatements for taxes originally charged to them due to errors made in their property valuation. The local government was due the tax revenue and would have collected it through an adjusted mill levy if the valuation errors had not occurred. Since the government was due the revenue, it may levy, in the subsequent year, a mill to collect the refund/abatement revenue. An abatement/refund mill levy may generate revenues up to, but not exceeding, the refund/abatement amount from Form DLG 57 Line 11. 1. Please Note: Pursuant to Article X, Section 3 of the Colorado Constitution, if the taxing entity is in more than one county. as with all levies, the abatement levy must be uniform throughout the entity's boundaries and certified the same to each county. To calculate the abatement/refund levy for a taxing entity that is located in more than one county, first total the abatement/refund amounts reported by each county assessor, then divide by the taxing entity's total net assessed value, then multiply by 1,000 and round down to the nearest three decimals to prevent levying for more revenue than was abated/refunded. This results in an abatement/refund mill levy that will be uniformly certified to all of the counties in which the taxing entity is located even though the abatement/refund did not occur in all the counties. " Other (DLG 70 Page 1 Line 7) —Report other levies and revenue not subject to 29-1-301 C.R.S. that were not reported above. For example: a levy for the purposes of television relay or translator facilities as specified in sections 29-7-101, 29-7-102, and 29-7-105 and 32-1-1005 (1) (a), C.R.S.; a voter -approved fire pension levy; a levy for special purposes such as developmental disabilities, open space, etc. Page 4 of 4 DLG 70 (Rev.6/16) 1 2019 DLG 70 Form Group 1 Final Audit Report 2019-12-10 Created: 2019-11-25 By: Scott Wright (swright@CO.WELD.CO.US) Status: Signed Transaction ID: CBJCHBCAABAA 9WzI95WpmFz4VC6AyRKUkUbW1Q1o7bu "2019 DLG 70 Form Group 1" History in Document created by Scott Wright (swright@CO.WELD.CO.US) 2019-11-25 - 9:12:23 PM GMT E4, Document emailed to Clyde A.

WHEREAS, Section 29-5-205 of the Colorado Firefighter Safety Act ("Act"), which became effective on June 5, 2013, requires public fire departments employing two or more firefighters, and which are not already party to a collective bargaining agreement, to "meet and confer" with their paid firefighters or the firefighters' employee organization (as defined in the Act) if requested to do so, to discuss policies and other matters relating to their employment, including safety and equipment, but not including compensation (as defined in the Act) ("Meet and Confer"); WHEREAS, the Frederick -Firestone Fire Protection District ("Fire District") is subject to the Meet and Confer requirements of the Act; WHEREAS, the Act provides no guidance or procedures for the Fire District to comply with the Meet and Confer requirements; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to the Colorado Special Districts Act, C.R.S. § 32-1-1001(1)(h) and (m), the Board of Directors of the Fire District ("Board") is vested with the management, control, and supervision of all the business and affairs of the Fire District, and is authorized to adopt, amend, and enforce bylaws and rules and regulations for carrying out the Fire District's business and affairs; WHEREAS, on August 12, 2013, the Board adopted Resolution 2013-009, establishing the Meet and Confer procedures for the Fire District. Since that time, the Fire District has appointed a new Fire Chief and elected several new members to the Board. As such, the Fire District wishes to reissue the Meet and Confer resolution as outlined herein. NOW THEREFORE, in accordance with the Board's powers pursuant to C.R.S. § 32-1- 1001(1)(h) and (m), the Fire District hereby adopts the following procedures to carry out the Meet and Confer requirements of the Act, if a Meet and Confer is requested by the firefighters or their employee organization; 1. All terms not defined in this Resolution have the meaning defined in the Act. 8426 Kosmerl Place, Frederick, Colorado, 80504-5444 P. O. Box 129, Frederick, Colorado, 80530-0129 2. The Board hereby designates the Fire Chief as its representative for purposes of engaging in a Meet and Confer with the firefighters or the designated employee organization, as required under the Act and implemented by this Resolution. 3. Firefighters, or their employee organization, who wish to Meet and Confer must submit to the Fire Chief their/its request for a Meet and Confer ("Written Request"). The Written Request must include: (a) The request to Meet and Confer; (b) The date of such request; (c) The policies and/or other matters about which the firefighters or employee organization wish to Meet and Confer. In accordance with the Act, a Written Request shall not include compensation as a Meet and Confer topic; and, (d) The identification of any employee organization or individuals designated to participate in the Meet and Confer on behalf of the firefighters. The Written Request must be signed by a majority of the District's firefighters in order to confirm that the employee organization or individuals designated to participate in the Meet and Confer represent the majority of the District's firefighters for that purpose, and that the policies and/or other matters identified in the Written Request accurately reflect those matters that the majority of the District's firefighters wish the Meet and Confer to address. 4. In accordance with Section 29-5-205(2) of the Act, if the Written Request is submitted by an employee organization authorized to represent the firefighters, the Fire Chief, on behalf of the Fire District, shall recognize the employee organization for the sole purpose of participating in the specific Meet and Confer requested in the Written Request. The Board hereby declares such recognition to be solely for the purpose of complying with the Act and shall not be deemed to be an express or implied recognition of the employee organization for any other purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to collective bargaining. Under no circumstances shall any statement or action by the Fire Chief before, during, or after the Meet and Confer be deemed to be an express or implied recognition of the employee organization for any other purpose whatsoever. The limited recognition granted by this paragraph shall expire immediately upon completion of the Meet and Confer. 5. The Fire Chief shall meet with the firefighters or the designated employee organization within 30 calendar days after the Written Request is submitted to the Fire Chief. The meeting shall occur at a date and time mutually agreeable to both parties. The parties shall mutually agree upon the length of the Meet and Confer based on the issues stated in the Written Request. If the parties cannot agree upon the length of the Meet and Confer, the Meet and Confer shall not exceed a total of 4 hours. The parties may at any time mutually agree to reschedule or continue the Meet and Confer to one or more later date(s) and time(s). 6. At the meeting, the Fire Chief and the firefighters or designated employee organization shall discuss those policies and other matters relating to the firefighters' employment specifically listed in the Written Request. Unless both parties mutually agree to do so, neither party shall discuss, or attempt to discuss, a policy and/or other matter relating to the firefighters' employment that was not specifically listed in the Written Request. If a party attempts to discuss a policy and/or other matter relating to the firefighters' employment that was not specifically listed in the Written Request without the other party's consent, the non - consenting party may immediately terminate the Meet and Confer. The parties shall participate 8426 Kosmerl Place, Frederick, Colorado, 80504-5444 P. O. Box 129, Frederick, Colorado, 80530-0129 in the Meet and Confer in good faith; however, neither party is required to negotiate, make a commitment as to any item, or otherwise come to an agreement as to any of the items discussed during the Meet and Confer. Unless the Board otherwise expressly provides by motion or resolution at a public meeting prior to the Meet and Confer, the Fire Chief shall have no authority during such meetings to make binding representations on behalf of the Fire District or the Board on any of the items discussed. If the Meet and Confer results in a proposed agreement between the parties on any matter, such agreement and all terms therein shall be submitted to the Board. The Board shall, by affirmative majority vote, approve or deny the proposed agreement. 7. Regardless whether the parties reach a proposed agreement on any matter, the Fire Chief shall report the results of the Meet and Confer to the Board at its next regular or special meeting following the Meet and Confer. In its discretion, the Board may hold a legally convened executive session to discuss the results of the Meet and Confer if the Board deems necessary in order to receive advice of legal counsel; determine matters that may be subject to negotiations, develop negotiation strategies, or instruct negotiators; or for any other purpose in conformance with the provisions of C.R.S. § 24-6-402(4). 8. Following the Fire Chiefs report of the results of the Meet and Confer, the Board shall note for the record, in open session, the date(s) and time(s) that the Meet and Confer took place and that the Fire District has met its obligations under the Act and this Resolution, and may take any other action it deems appropriate. 9. A Written Request may be submitted by the firefighters or their designated employee organization no more than quarterly during a calendar year. 10. The Board may from time to time amend this Resolution and, by motion or resolution, may adopt additional rules and procedures not in conflict with the Act or this Resolution.
