The legal description of the property is L9 BLK19 WINDSHIRE PARK 3RD FG. The subject is a Frame Siding house constructed in 2018. It has 1743 square feet of finished living area above grade. There are 3.00 bedrooms and 3.00 bathrooms. The Assessor has classified the structure as a Ranch 1 Story home of Average quality construction. Page 2 of 7 Market Approach Summary The subject property has been classified as Residential for assessment purposes. Residential property value shall be determined solely by consideration of the Market Approach to Value {39-1-103(5)(a), CRS}. As required by 39-1-104(10.2), CRS, the market value is determined by utilizing data from the period of one and one-half years immediately prior to June 3 0th, 2018. If sufficient comparable valuation data is not available within the eighteen -month time period, the assessor shall use market data from the five year period immediately prior to June 30th, 2018. When appropriate, all sales are to be time adjusted to the appraisal date of June 3 0th, 2018. Although the appraisal date is June 30, 2018, the physical characteristics are reflective of the property as of January 1, 2019. The comparable sales in this report were selected using county records and the Multiple Listing Services. The Weld County Assessor's Office has verified that the comparable sales are arms -length transactions based on review of the Real Property Transfer Declaration, telephone or personal confirmation interviews and physical inspections to confirm property characteristics at the time of sale. DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE: The most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress. {The Appraisal Institute} The market value of the property as of June 30th, 2018 is: Assessor's Indicated Value RESIDENTIAL $347,565 TOTAL: $347,565 Page 3of7 Time Adjusted Sales Prices By law, sales prices are time adjusted to the appraisal date of June 30, 2018. An adjustment for time is made if during the sales collection period of January 2017 to June 30, 2018 the sale prices of properties have appreciated or depreciated due to inflation or deflation. We refer to the adjustment as a 'time' adjustment. If market conditions have not changed, no adjustment is required even though considerable time may have elapsed. <C.RSS. 39-1-10 ...said level of value shall be adjusted to the final day of the data -gathering period.} sales and resales of the same or similar properties are a good indication of the changes in market conditions over time. In addition, we run simple linear regression where we graph the sales and the month the sale occurred to indicate the trend of the market. This trend is tracked as a monthly rate of change. Since we consider one of the most important aspects of market value to be location, we determine our time trends by location, also known as economic area or neighborhood, and by the use of the property (vacant land, residential, commercial). There were 220 sales during the base period and a .185% monthly time trend was applied.

Lucidly, the highly publicized Proposition 112 was defeated at the polls this November, as it could have had significant negative impacts on not only the industry as a whole, but on the lives of many Coloradans. The extreme and controversial measure was even discussed in The New York Times article entitled, to Colorado, a Bitter Battle Over Nil, Gas and the Environment Cozies to a Head, shortly before voters hit the polls, Residents of Denver saw people tatting to the sidewalks and streets to oppose Proposition 112 and to spread the word of how detrimental the measure would be if passed — industry workers, landmen, executives, engineers, lawyers and the like all sported "vote 'No' on 112" signs. As a resident of Weld County, I personally did not see any "Vote cites' on 112" signs until driving north to Fort Collins or west to Boulder. By way of a summary, Proposition 112 would have had substantial impacts on the oil and gas industry in Colorado, including the following: - It would have greatly reduced the available locations for new oil and gas development • Colorado's tax revenue, unemployment rate and overall health of the state economy would have taken a major hit • Most notably, the measure would have had major negative impacts that would have rippled throughout Colorado communities - our families would have felt its negative impacts the most. What many forget is that it is not just those families who work in the oil and gas sector who would have suffered - local restaurants, hotels, gas stations, and many others who serve the industryrwould have last a significant flow of income. This also does not include the mineral owners whose asset could have remained undeveloped - they stand to lose the benefit of owning such a resource if it can not be developed. An excellent summary of the potential impacts of Proposition 112 was put together by the Colorado Oil and Gas Association ("COCA")) and can be found here, Proposition 112 was reportedly rejected by a margin of 57% to 42%, Those in favor of restricting oil and gas operations in Colorado will likely attempt future ballot measures aimed at the same..the takeaway is that the defeat of Proposition 112 will likely not be the end. The roots of this measure started to grow as early as 2010, with local Colorado communities starting to get interested in pushing fracking moratoria, It is unlikely that this movement toward heavily restricting oil and gas development in Colorado will end any time soon. Many think that the oil and gas industry is currently poised to educate the public now that it has defeated Proposition 112 and use the opportunity to prevent future misinformation and obstruction of the industry. Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development is one such effort. Stay tuned — we will keep you informed of any new developments and regulations affecting the industry in Colorado. ce) Steptoce & Johnson PLLC:, All Rights Reserved, ARTICLE BY Melissa f, Lyon Stepro ' AJori nson PLLC Rocky Mounrcrir, Eiicrrgv Essentials ESTEPTOE &JOHNSON Administrative & Regulatory Environmental, Energy &r ResuuResources Colorado PRINTER -FRIENDLY EMAIL THIS ARTICLE DOWNLOAD PDF REPRINTS & PERMISSIONS Tweet h,iithotim i 14! 91 LAW Vlll1l RECOGNITION, TECH AND TALENT FHIS 'AIM: Sr NIP I er)M I1tD(reA t I`IEYas IIlAy J?'N !

Lyon James M. Tartaglia Steptae Ey Johnson RAC I Like 2 Tweet Wednesday, April 17, 2019 Governor Polls signed the highly controversial S.B.181 into law on April 1 , 2019. Why is this important to you? S.B. 181, also known as "Protect Public Welfare Oil and Gas Operations" has been referred to as "landmark legislation" and an "energy overhaul bill" -- simply put, the sweeping oil and gas reform legislation increases oil and gas regulation in the state of Colorado, revamps the make-up of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("COGCC") and shifts the COGCC's mission from "fostering" the growth of the oil and gas sector to "regulating" it and prioritizing the protection of public safety, health, welfare, and the environment in the regulation of the oil and gas industry. This legislation has been strongly opposed by the energy industry for a number of reasons. It is the most comprehensive overhaul of how the oil and gas industry is regulated in the state of Colorado to date, and many feel that industry representatives were not adequately consulted, and that the legislation was rushed through without proper discourse. The key amendments reflected in the bill's final form include: https:// .natla evie .conlarticle/oolorado-senate-bill-1 1-signed-governor-polis 7/9/2019 Oil and Gas Reform Bill SB 181 Signed in Colorado Page 2 of 4 Colorado Senate Bill 181 Signed by Governor Polis 1. More regulatory power to local governments 2. More direction in enacting new emissions rules 3. Restructuring of the COGCC 4. Adjustment to consent percentages in pooling applications Click here for the full text of S.B. 181. Ballot initiatives are already in the works to attempt to reverse and repeal these controversial new regulations. The full impacts of this legislation on the oil and gas sector are unknown — what we do know is that operations in Colorado will certainly be more expensive and unpredictable, especially as new regulations get rolled out of the COGCC.

Since then, we have established strategies, like our Start SAFE Finish SAFE Program and our DCP 2.0 transformation efforts, to help us achieve these goals. In many ways we have been successful and we have a lot to be proud of at DP. However, we must gain more speed in our transformation to create the strong competitive advantage we need. Our strategy remains constant, but our organizational structure, our cost structure, and our culture must all continue to evolve to help accelerate our transformation. One of the components of workforce of Tomorrow, was to reduce our workforce through transformation, attrition, and performance -based exits. We continue to stand by that approach and we were honest in our intent. However, it has recently become clear to me and the EC that we need to move more quickly in some parts of the organization than we anticipated to accelerate our transformation and remain competitive compared to our peers, and we simply cannot reach our targets solely through attrition. To drive our company forward more quickly, today we are implementing a targeted Voluntary Separation Program for a limited number of employees. This program includes an enhanced package to help us simplify, delayer, and right -size our workforce. We are not in crisis, and the goal is to stay far from it. DCP is healt.y and delivering great results, however, we must continue to rapidly evolve to outpace our peers. Therefore, this program is designed to strategically target areas where leadership identified foreseeable transformational or organizational impacts that they believe will position us for success in the future. Our ultimate goal is to quickly streamline our organization to be more agile, balanced, and collaborative, and in return we expect to increase the speed of decision making, accuracy of communication, and agility in our transformation. Our approach is to get ahead of the curve, and in doing so, we are pleased that we are in a position with our recent financial performance to offer packages with enhanced benefits to provide more value to employees who will be considered for the voluntary Separation Program. Our hope is that this program may be attractive to some individuals, particularly those considering retirement or other life changes, or those who may not be all in on our transformation journey. Though we are offering a voluntary choice for eligible employees, if we do not reach our goals, we may implement involuntary severances and we expect our workforce to continue to evolve throughout our transformation. For those who are eligible to consider this progiam, your leadership will reach out to you today to discuss the details, timing, and structure of the Voluntary Separation Program. Your Executive Committee member, senior leadership, HRBPs, and I are available for questions. Finally, we have talked a tot about trust this year, and I want to talk straight. We thought we were going to be able to achieve our workforce goals one way, and now we know that is not feasible and we must move quickly in another direction. We know this creates uncertainty and concern. Trust is about transparency, clarifying expectations as soon as you know there has been a change, demonstrating respect, and offering as much 1 information as possible. We are dedicated to these tenants throughout this process,. Throughout this transition, I urge you to take the needed time in your day-to-day activities to Focus on Safety. As always, please be safe.
