Memo To: Honorable Mayor Bill Pinkham Board of Trustees From: Administrator Jacqueline Halburnt Date: August 4, 2011 RE: LMD Operating Agreement & IGA The Local Marketing District Board of Directors will be joining the Town Board for this work session in order to review the terms and conditions of the current LMD/Town/County Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) and LMD/Town IGA in anticipation of the preparation of the annual Operating Plan by the LMD, which is due to both the Town and County by September 30. The current LMD Board consists of Chairman Cory Blackman; Vice Chair Bill Almond; Secretary/Treasurer Scott Webermeier; and Directors Lindsay Lamson, Lee Lasson, Kathy Palmeri, and Chris Wood. Peggy Campbell is the LMD Executive Director. Background: LMD/Town/County IGA: the attached IGA states an operating plan will be submitted to both entities by September 30 of each year.... identifying services to be provided by the District, any marketing and promotion tax to be imposed by the District, and such additional information as required to inform each entity as to the activities, services and funding of the District in the upcoming year. The operating plan shall include a proposed budget for the next fiscal year. The Town and the County shall approve or disapprove the Operating Plan including the proposed budget within 30 days after receipt....but no later than December 5. LMD/Town IGA: the attached IGA states it is in force and effect unless terminated earlier by mutual agreement... and either party may terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days written notice prior to the end of any calendar year.... and the parties agree that they shall review the terms and conditions of this Agreement annually in anticipation of the preparation of the annual Operating Plan by the LMD. The purpose of this work session is to discuss the agreements and if any changes need to be made to either IGA prior to submittal of the operating plan. I met with Director Campbell to review the LDM/Town IGA, which currently addresses employees and office space. It will need to be revised based upon the LMD's plan for 2010. If the employees become LMD employees we will need an agreement allowing them to buy into the Town's health/dental/vision insurance plan. We have also asked the LMD to update the board on 1. Any requested Financial Assistance Requests in 2012 2. 2011 accomplishments versus their operating plan 3. An update on the results of the LMD 2010 Certified Financial Annual Report (CAFR) Budget: In 2009, the town paid for the LMD operation, which allowed the LMD to accrue an approximate $1,000,000 fund balance. The full amount of revenue collected was closer to $1.2M, but the LMD paid for some additional expenses in 2010 to improve their service and operation. In 2010, the LMD paid for its own operation and the town paid for employee salaries and benefits (per the IGA) (approximately $400,000) and therefore also kept the stakeholder services revenue of approximately $197,000. The LMD asked for a different arrangement in 2011 that provided for better transparency. For 2011, the LMD agreed to pay all its expenses and the Town Board agreed to allow the LMD to keep stakeholder services revenue. The Town Board agreed to a subsidy of $128,985 (2011 budget, page 89) with a net subsidy to the Town of $89,000 after the LMD paid for some services.

Office space: As noted in earlier conversations, the staff of the LMD is in dire need of additional office space. At present, we have identified two options for meeting that need but our preferred option is to finish out the space upstairs at the Visitor Center. Based on estimates from Scott Zurn, the build -out expenses excluding IT, telephone, and furnishings, are estimated at $154,000. Telephone, IT, and furnishings are estimated to be an additional $54,000. By means of this letter we are asking the Town Trustees to invest in our partnership by absorbing the costs to build out the upstairs space, thus allowing the LMD team to remain in the building that is broadly recognized as the hub of tourism promotion in our region. In return, the LMD will absorb the additional costs for furnishing the space, telephone system, and computer network. b. Marketing Investment: In the 2010 budget, and after extensive discussions about reallocating and sharing expenses, the Trustees graciously agreed to assist the LMD's efforts by contributing almost $129,000 to our 2011 marketing budget. We believe that the Town's 2011 investment in marketing has had a direct affect on the current year tax revenues for both the Town and the Marketing District. Therefore, we request that the Trustees make that same commitment in their 2012 budget. As you will see in peripheral documents presented during the August 9th work session, the LMD staff has had a busy and successful year. The Local Marketing District looks forward to implementing destination marketing strategies developed this year. We are especially excited about the 2012 community -wide destination branding project and the development of a highly advanced visitor website which will better represent the character and positioning of Estes Park, enhance the user experience, and increase visitor conversion. We are excited and confident that the impacts of our work will continue to strengthen the position of Estes Park as the premier mountain destination in our region, and trust you will continue to support our efforts in the year ahead. We look forward to a continued partnership with the Town in the economic growth of the business community through a sound and well funded marketing program. Thank you for your time and attention. 1 look forward to our discussion on August 9111 .

These financial statements are reported in the financial statements of the Town of Estes Park because the District is component unit ofthe Town. Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit. Our Responsibility under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards As stated in our engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express opinions about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities. Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because we did not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements or noncompliance may exist and not be detected by us. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. As part of our audit, we considered the internal control and material compliance of the District. Such considerations were solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control or compliance. We are responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not requ ired to design procedures specifically to identify such matters. Significant Accounting Policies Management has the responsibility for selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we will advise management aboutthe appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. No n.ew accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year. We noted no transactions entered into by the District during the year that were both significant and unusual, and of which, under professional standards, we are required to inform you, or transactions for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. 8400 E. Crescent Parkway • Suite 600 • Greenwood Village, CO 80111 • (720) 528-4306 Fax: (720) 528-4307 Accounting Estimates Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's current judgments. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the significant estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. Significant Audit Adjustments Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit process, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Those standards define a significant audit adjustment as a proposed correction of the financial statements that, in our judgment, may not have been detected except through our auditing procedures. An audit adjustment may or may not indicate matters that could have a significant effect on the District's financial reporting process (that is, cause future financial statements to be materially misstated). Management has determined that the effects of the uncorrected misstatements are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. We identified one misstatement as a result of our audit procedures which was corrected by management. This adjustment reclassified capital asset purchases from assets to expenditures because the District uses the modified accrual basis of accounting. In addition, the cost of these items was less than the capitalization limit set by the District, and would not be capitalized. Disagreements with Management For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors' report. No such disagreements arose during the course of our audit. Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves the application of an accounting principle to the District's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditors' opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants. Issues Discussed Prior to Retention of Independent Auditors We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management prior to retention as the District's auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and the responses were not a condition to our retention. Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit We encountered no difficulties dealing with management during the audit process. 2 Other Information Accounting Policies and Procedures We continue to recommend that the District prepare written accounting policies and procedures that establish appropriate internal controls for the District. Conclusion We wouldlike to thank Peggy Campbell and Kathy Asche for their assistance during the audit process.
