Pickering reviewed the proposed 2006 Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) fee schedule for stakeholders. A survey of CVB stakeholders was conducted and the feedback was to maintain fees at the 2005 levels with the exception of the brochure racks. Larger brochure rack space (9"x9") would increase from $150 to $300. The "Book Now Button" was free in 2005 and the 2006 fee would be $50. Audience comments/questions were heard from Lois Smith/Baldpate Inn and Cindy Younglund-Liddell/Wildwood Inn. Dir. Pickering stated leads are not limited to accommodations only and all stakeholders can purchase leads. The Town Board established an association membership fee of $200/yr. in 2004; however, these memberships are a separate fee not related to the sevice fee schedule being presented. Association memberships do not have the same benefits as stakeholders; therefore, they do not receive marketing benefits provided through the CVB. Dir. Pickering commented that Larimer County District Court Judge Dave Williams deemed the 2005 fee of 2% of revenues for out of Town memberships a tax. After further review of the proposed 2006 fee schedule with Attorney Board of Trustees - November 8,2005 - Page 3 White, Dir. Pickering requests the issue of out of Town membership fees be returned to the CVB Policy Advisory Committee for further consideration. He suggested presenting the proposed fee schedule to the Community Development Committee for consideration prior to Town Board action; therefore, a fee schedule would not be in place prior to the end of 2005. This would not impact most businesses that make purchase decisions later in the winter due to the seasonality of the Estes Park economy. Any new out of Town business would not be eligible to join the CVB until a fee structure has been established. It was moved and seconded (Doylen/Newsom) the 2006 Stakeholder Fee Schedule be approved as presented and the out of Town membership fees be returned to the CVB Policy Advisory Committee for further review, and it passed unanimously. Staff to provide further information to the Board on association memberships. 4.

Minutes of a Regular meeting of the UTILITIES COMMITTEE of the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado. Meeting held in the Municipal Building in said Town of Estes Park on the 17th day of November 2005. Committee: Chairman Jeffrey-Clark, Trustees Newsom and Pinkham Attending: All Also Attending: Administrator Repola, Public Works Director Linnane, Utilities Supt. Goehring, Finance Director McFarland, Office Manager Button Absent: None Chairman Jeffrey-Clark called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. LIGHT & POWER DEPARTMENT Reports 1. Light and Power Dept. Financial Report - Dir. McFarland reviewed the report. 2. Proposed 2006/2007 Rate Increase - Dir. Linnane provided the Trustees with an overview of the proposed 2006-2007 electric rate increases. He indicated that the strength of the Light & Power Fund has allowed the department to decrease the rate increase by one-third from the rate increase projected for 2006. Discussion centered around several primary areas: â€¢ The need to achieve and maintain a $2 million Light & Power Fund Balance. This will provide bond companies an indication of the Town's financial health and help the Town maintain its "A" rating for future renovations of the Marys Lake Substation. Bond companies are assured an operating plan is in place and structured rate increases are an integral part of such a plan. â€¢ The need for the electric rate structure to stay in line with costs (IE: increases in fossil and combustion fuel costs, increases in 0&M costs). Town Administrator Repola stated that in the past the Town has not kept up with the cost of doing business. â€¢ The need to have a fund balance which equals 90 days O&M. â€¢ By rebuilding the fund balance, there will be funding available for future capital projects. â€¢ Comparisons between the rates of other Colorado utilities and the Town's proposed electric rates. Town Administrator Repola noted that our electric costs would always be higher than many areas due to the fact that our revenues per mile are lower; the Town serves fewer customers per mile. Dir. Linnane provided the Trustees with articles illustrating the rate increases proposed or approved by other utilities for 2006. Loveland, Longmont, Fort Collins, Berthoud, Xcel Energy are a few of the Colorado municipalities/utilities that would be raising rates that exceed 2.5% in 2006. Dir. Linnane noted that when those increases are taken into account, Estes Park will move downward in the comparative rankings. A public hearing is scheduled at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22,2005 in the Board Room in Town Hall to discuss the proposed two-year rate increase. Trustee Pinkham emphasized the importance of providing the public with easy to understand facts and figures during staffs presentation. A brief PowerPoint presentation will be used for that purpose.

PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAT and FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT, Coyote Ridge Subdivision Phase 1, Tracts 1,11,111, & IV of the BLA of Portions of the South 1/2 of Section 8, T5N, R72W of the 6~h PM, 2550 Devil's Gulch Road, Applicant: Myers Estes Park, LLC Chair Kitchen stated the applicant has requested that this item be continued to the December 20, 2005 Planning Commission meeting. Members of the public were present and wished to address the Commission on the request; Chair. Kitchen opened a public hearing. Public Comment: Barney Treadway, adjacent property owner of 2100 McGraw Ranch Road, stated he had not received notification of the request. He stated the subdivision had originally been approved with substandard lot sizes because the proposed development was clustered. He noted that is not the case with the current subdivision request and asked that the ten-acre minimum lot size requirement for the RE-1 zoning district be met. Planner Shirk and Director Joseph responded, stating that Lots 1 and 2, each currently 6.158 acres, were created prior to the Estes Valley rezoning process in 2000 and thus are legally nonconforming lots. Although these lots are shown on the subdivision plat, they would not have to be and should not be singled out. Proposed Lots 3 and 4 are both seven acres. Although they are smaller than ten-acre lots, the proposed Outlot A, a non-buildable, open-space lot of six acres, has been provided to offset the reduced size of Lots 3 and 4. The remaining portion of the property is shown as proposed Lot 5, a 43.919-acre lot. 18 iRAFT RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 2 November 15, 2005 Al and Susan Miller, adjacent property owners at 2700 Eagle Rock Drive, were present. Mr. Miller questioned whether the overhead power line that crosses proposed Lot 5 would be required to be placed underground, as has been the case with utilities in the adjacent Beaver View Estates. Planner Shirk stated that if Lot 5 was subdivided in the future, the developer would be required to place the power line underground. If the lot was not subdivded and a single home was built on the lot, the owner would not be required to place the power line underground. Mr. Miller asked whether it could be required that the power line be placed underground when a home is built, even if the lot is not subdivided. Director Joseph stated that it could be, but it would be reasonable to question whether it would be an appropriate financial burden for a single homeowner to assume. He reiterated that if the lot was subdivided into five lots in the future, as has been considered, the developer would be required to place the power line underground. Mr. Miller also questioned whether a home could be built on top or near the top of Coyote Ridge. Director Joseph stated the current proposal includes limits of disturbance that would prevent a home from being built in that area, but noted that the applicant may revise their request, which will be presented at the December meeting, in such a way that a home may be built on the ridge. Ridgeline protection standards prevent a home from being built on top of the ridge. He encouraged Mr. Miller to remain in contact with the Community Development Department regarding the applicant's updated proposal. Mr. Miller stated his desire to have a restriction imposed that would prevent a home from being built too high on the ridge. Chair Kitchen thanked the Millers and Mr. Treadway for sharing their views and concerns. It was moved and seconded (Amos/Hix) to continue the Preliminary Subdivision Plat and the Final Subdivision Plat, Coyote Ridge Subdivision Phase I, Tracts I, Il, Ill, & IV of the BLA of Portions of the South 1/2 of SS, T5N, R72W of the 6~ PM to the December 20,2005 Planning Commission meeting at the request of the applicant, and the motion passed unanimously. 4.

The Public was notified in November 2004 that the Town intended to raise the rates in 2006 by an average of 3.9%. To minimize the impact to customers, staff proposes lower rate increases of 2.5% in 2006 and 2.8% increase in 2007. The proposed rates are equal to the Denver-Boulder area Colorado Price Index projections for the same years. The Black and Veatch Report recommend a financial plan target of $2,000,000 Fund balance minimum be maintained in the LP Fund. Staff has followed this recommendation, as the 2006 budget attests. Achieving this goal will strengthen our current "A" bond rating, since bond rating companies emphasize financial target achievement. This is important since the LP Dept. intends to fund the 2008, $5M Marys Lake Substation and System Improvement Project through bonds. Staff will present a brief Power Point presentation on the proposed rate increase at the Board meeting. Cost/Budget: N/A Action: Staff recommends approval of the proposal as described above.

Washington, D.C. 20037-1484 202/467-2900 202/467-2910 (lax) www.APPAnet.org October 10, 2005 MEMORANDUM TO: Public Power Officials FROM: Alan H. Richardson, President & CEO SUBJECT: Public Power and Efficient Energy Use This Winter There are dire predictions for the cost of energy this winter, and with this memo and attached resource list, I am urging you to consider stepping up your efforts to help consumers use energy efficiently and save on home and business heating costs. Energy Price Forecast l According to the federal government, natural gas prices paid by consumers have already ~ doubled over the past five years, and consumers are expected to spend about 50 percent "---Â·Â·Â·* ~ more for natural gas this winter. Other consumer fuel prices are expected to increase - ~ coal by 16 percent, heating oil by 34 percent, and electricity by a total 11 percent - a 1,record high. The Midwest is expected to be the hardest-hit area of the country for direct heating costs. However,just like high gasoline prices, high natural gas costs will eventually work their way throughout the economy, putting a strain on other aspects of household and business budgets in all geographic regions. The increase in costs is generally attributed to a growing demand for fuels worldwide, supplemented by infrastructure damage caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Analysts say that especially cold weather this winter could push up prices even further. National Call for Energy Efficiency President Bush has called on the American people to conserve all fuels, and Secretary of Energy Samual W. Bodman this month launched the "Easy Ways to Save Energy" public awareness campaign aimed at providing consumers, business, and federal agencies with a variety of energy saving ideas that can yield significant savings. DOE has partnered in this effort with the Alliance to Save Energy, a group to which APPA belongs and strongly endorses, and which provides many resources for consumer use. The Environmental Protection Agency is also doing its part, and with DOE has kicked off the annual "Energy Star Change a Light, Change the World Campaign," urging Americans to replace incandescent light bulbs with those that earn the Energy Star Label. . Page 2 of 3 Richardson Energy Efficiency Campaign Public Power Policy and Energy Efficiency APPA membership resolutions have long supported a balanced energy policy, improvements in energy efficiency and performance, and lowering the cost of alternative forms of energy. APPA is committed to working with federal agencies and Congress to help evaluate non-conventional fuel sources that could be used for electricity generation, identify methods to streamline our energy infrastructure, propose options to increase efficiency and conservation, and secure funds for advanced energy efficiency technologies, as well as for clean energy funding. Some of these goals may be reached through federal research and development programs funded through appropriations and other bills. On behalf of its members, APPA supports both long- and short-term research and development. APPA also advocates increasing funds for the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program(LIHEAP)http://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/liheap/. I know that promoting energy efficiency to residential and business customers is already a routine practice for many public power systems, no matter your generation base. I also know that many ofyou have already raised rates to offset higher fuel costs, and I believe your consumers will welcome your ideas and assistance in controlling their electricity bills. Public power's special qualities - not-for-profit mission, local commitment, democratic governance, public accountability, and caring service - all enhance its ability to help its customers, communities, and the nation respond to difficult times. What Your Utility Can Do I am urging your utility to explore how to use DOE and other campaign resources, on which I have provided more information below. Many consumers will have a much more difficult time paying their energy bills this winter, so I am also including information about resources on low-income energy programs. In addition, in the wake of the hurricanes, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has asked APPA to help warn consumers about portable generator safety, and I have included contacts for more information. APPA itself offers many resources to communicate with your residential and business customers with a public power focus, as well as to learn more about the best practices of other utilities in dealing with energy efficiency and low4ncome programs. Many of these are new, including our DEED-funded "Power Bandit" program. I have included a separate fact sheet about those resources. Energy Efficiency Campaign Resources 1 DOE's "Easy Ways to Save Energy" Campaign. The overall objective is to drive down consumer prices by driving down consumer demand using energy efficiency and conservation. DOE is launching an aggressive public awareness campaign - including public service announcements - to educate families, business, and government agencies Page 3 of 3 Richardson Energy Efficiency Campaign " about "Easy Ways to Save Energy. It focuses on simple, practical, low-cost steps. DOE offers free brochures. It will also send efficiency teams to 200 of America's most energy- intensive factories. DOE has established a Web site that consumers can consult for tips: www.energysavers.gov. You can also call 1-877-337-3463 about programs aimed at industrial customers. 1 Environmental Protection Agency/DOE "Energy Star Change a Light, Change the World" Campaign. This annual campaign urges Americans to replace incandescent light bulbs at home with ones that earned the Energy Star Label. It predicts that if every household replaced one bulb, the U.S. could save $600 million in energy bills, or enough energy to light seven million homes. As you know, lighting accounts for nearly 20 percent of electricity costs, with the average home containing more than 30 light fixtures. For more information, go to http://www. energystar. gov or 1-888-STAR-YES (1-888-782-7987). 1 Alliance to Save Energy is a well-known consumer resource http://www. ase.org. It is working in partnership with DOE on a Â«Powerful $avings" campaign http://www.ase.org/powerfulsavings. It sponsors the Energy Hog campaign (http://www.energyhog.org), in which for a feeyou can become apartner, and is cospdnsoring the DOE public service announcements. It offers extensive free resources, duch as a booklet on "Tips to Lower Your Energy Bills." For a modest fee public power systems can customize the popular "Power$mart" consumer booklet and receive a disk they can take to the printer. ASE's "Super Powers" public service television announcements have been sent out across the country, and you can urge your stations to use them. You can also support their funding. 1 National Fuel Funds Network is an association of charitable energy assistance programs, many of them offered by electric utilities (http://www.nationalfuelfunds.org). APPA holds a seat on its board of directors, as do public power systems. It advocates for LIHEAP funding, and provides resources on how to meet the energy needs of low income customers. I urge you to consider becoming a member. , 1 Consumer Produce Safety Commission offers information about using electricity safely, and has special post-hurricane concerns. It is offering a free poster and door hanger about carbon monoxide poisoning caused,by the misuse of portable generators. For an electronic copy, go to APPA's Web site.at http://www.APPAnet.org. For hard copy, ,, contact: swolfson@cpsc.gov or call 301-504-7908. I have enclosed a fact sheet about resources APPA provides to its members on energy efficiency, such as "Power Bandit," a new interactive program for school children. APPA's Web site has recently reorganized consumer-oriented information that should be useful on a variety of topics. We also hope you will keep us posted ofyour efforts and concerns.

Xcel asked state regulators to approve a 30 percent increase in monthly electric bills, effective Nov. 1. For the average residential customer, monthly electric costs would rise $16 a month, from the current $53 to $69. The price hike is a direct pass- through to consumers as a result ofincreased costs to Xcel. Xcel further forecasts that winter heating bills for typical residential customers will increase by $44, from $127 last December to $171 this December. The combined monthly costs for electricity and natural-gas heating this December would be $240, a huge jump of 33 percent from last year. "It's going to be bad, really bad for consumers," said RonÂ· Binz, a utility analyst and former head of the Colorado Office of Consumer Counsel. "And unfortunately we probably haven't yet seen the full brunt ofhigher (fuel) prices still in the pipeline." â€¢ Xcel said the proposed $116 million hike in electric rates stems from higher prices for coal and natural gas - the utility's two main fuels used for generating electricity. State law allows utilities to pass changes in fuel costs directly through to consumers, without taking profits or losses. The Colorado Public Utilities Commission, which regulates Xcel, typically approves such fuel-cost rate hikes quickly. Businesses also.will be hit by Xcel's higher rates. The typical small business will see electric rates increase from $102 to $134 per month. Natural gas bills will rise from an average of $573 last December to an estimated $776 this December. Analysts said the increase in electric rates will come as a shock to consumers, who already were facing record high costs this winter for natural-gas heating. Adencies that offer utility-bill help for low-income consumers, such as Energy Outreach Colorado and the Low Income Energy Assistance Program, said they were facing funding shortfalls before Wednesday'st news ofhigher electric bills. "There will be very significant problems for anybody in the range of low-income levels," Binz said. "But on top ofthat, we're starting to see prices that are really going to sting middle-class consumers." Natural-gas costs nationally have more than tripled in the past three years because of ktrong demand and flat production. Prices spiked even higher during the last month because ofhurricane damage to gas wells in the Gulf of Mexico. But unlike recent price hikes in crude oil and gasoline that have had an immediate impact"oh consumers, the soaring increases in natural gas are just beginning to be felt With the onset of cooler weather. ? "I thivk if'it aÂ·Â·tragedy tolow-income people to have that kind of increase at this point,jarticiÂ®rly with all the economic problems, Hurricane Katrina and the cost Of gAolide," slaid Many Meinberg, 57, a Denver homeowner.

The Town prepares its budget annually in the Fall. There are 21 funds for which forecasts are prepared. These funds are listed in numerical sequence on the following pages. The general format of the pages includes summaries of revenues, expenses and fund balances for the prior year, an estimate for the current year, and a forecast for next year. Pertinent details are included at the bottom of each page. The purpose/goal of each fund is listed at the top of the fund's respective page. The largest portion of the Town's funds are administered through the General Fund. The General Fund includes the legislative, judicial, executive, and financial arms of Town government. It also includes public safety (police, fire department) and infrastructure (community development, streets, parks, sanitation, buildings). The general fund anticipates expenditures of approximately $7,323,000 for 2006. Furthermore, the Town seeks to retain a fund balance that is equal to a minimum of 30% of budgeted annual expenditures Oust slightly more than 3 months worth of operating costs). The other 20 funds are divided into five categories: Special Revenue, Internal Service, Enterprise, Fiduciary, and Debt Service. The Special Revenue funds include Community Reinvestment, Museum, Conservation Trust, Senior Center, Larimer County Open Space, the Convention & Visitors Bureau, and Transportation. These particular funds generate revenue to cover a portion of their operating expenses and receive a transfer from the General Fund for any shortfall. Fund balances are quite small and usually no more than about 5% of annual expenditures. http:#www.estesnet.com (970) 586-5331 â€¢ RO. BOX 1200 â€¢ 170 MACGREGORAVENUE â€¢ ESTES PARK, CO 80517 The Internal Service Funds include Catastrophic Loss, Medical Insurance, Fleet, Vehicle Replacement, and Information Systems. Each of these funds provides services to Town departments and therefore receive income from the departments served. Each department (General Fund, Special Revenue Fund or Enterprise Fund) has expense lines in its budget for the fees paid to each Internal Service Fund. Therefore, when calculating annual expenditures, Internal Service Fund expenditures are excluded to avoid double-counting. There are not target fund balances in the Internal Service funds, however, three of these funds (Fleet, Vehicle Replacement and Information Systems) have capital equipment and buildings that depreciate and require reinvestment. Therefore, fund balances are expected to be sufficient to replace capital as necessary. The Vehicle Replacement fund is specifically earmarked for the future replacement of vehicles within Town departments. The Enterprise Funds include Light & Power, and Water. The utility funds are funded through user fees and operate very much like a private sector business. Town policy is to maintain fund balances that are equal to 90 days (or 25%) of operating expenses plus accumulated depreciation. The Debt Service Funds include the two Park Entrance Estates Funds and the Building Authority Fund. Park Entrance Estates is a special improvement district that encumbered debt to improve their roadways. The Building Authority is another debt fund and was used to fi nance improvements to the 18-hole golf course. Though the course is operated by the recreation district, the land is owned by the Town and leased to the district. The bonds are being paid back by the recreation district with revenues from the operation ofthe golf course. The Fiduciary Funds include Fire and Police Pension and Friends of Stanley Hall (FOSH). Fiduciary funds are held for a third party. In the pension funds, the assets are owned by the plan participants; the FOSH funds are currently held under an agreement with the FOSH organization and are earmarked for the benefit ofthe performing arts. Town finances are governed by GASB (Governmental Accounting Standards Board) rules and an audit is conducted annually by an independent accounting firm. The Town's finances are open records and available for review by any person upon request. , TOWN OF ESTES PARK ESTES PARK, COLORADO 80517 4 C j #244 TOWN OF ESTES PARK I Jhli .0Â¥r -9~ 3 1 443 F ~ _Â»A:lfi# " #At**i.pk%4~2,4 ~rEÂ¢3 -~ ~~~~~~r~1~ 12141 **6 a.*4*14, { , ELe.yhan Â·Â·-4 MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Trustees FROM: Steve McFarland, Finance Officer DATE: November 3,2005 SUBJECT: Highway Users Trust Fund Public Hearing, 2006 Budget, November 22,2005 Colorado budget law requires a public hearing be conducted to discuss how the Highway Users Trust Fund revenues are proposed to be expended in the ensuing fiscal year.

This salary level assumes that all positions will be filled throughout 2006. However, past experience has been that, due to turnover in various positions in any given year, budgeted payroll always exceeds actual. Action Consideration of the options presented and approval of the 2006 pay plan which will include: â€¢ 1.7% cost of living adjustment, and, â€¢ 1.2% merit pool allocated evenly across all employees and subject to performance, and, â€¢ 1.0% bonus pool to be used at department heads' discretion. MEMORANDUM To: Honorable Mayor Baudek and Board of Trustees From: Randy Repola ff- Date: November 18, 2005 Subject: 2006 Pay Plan Background Pursuant to the Town's compensation policy, the Town provides annual salary increases based upon a cost of living adjustment (COLA) and, or performance (merit). The COLAs, merits and General Fund revenue data for the last three years along with 2006 projections are provided in the table below. COLA is determined by the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index. The CPI for 2005 is estimated to be 2.1%, however staffis recommending a COLA that is slightly less than the CPI. Year COLA Merit/Bonus Total General Fund Revenue* 2003 1.9% 1.1% 3.0% 28.5% 2004 1.8% 0 1.8% -12.9% 2005 0% 2%/2% 4.0% 2.9% 2006 1.7% 1.2%/1% 3.9% 2.7%** *Change from previous year **Estimated year-end sales tax In addition to annual merit and COLA increases, salaries are adjusted based upon market data. Staff conducts an annual survey of benchmark positions to determine appropriate pay grades for all positions. When data indicates that a position is 5% or more below the market rate, that position is adjusted during the current year. Eight benchmark positions and 8 linked positions (total o f 16) were adjusted in 2005. We will reevaluate this process as part o f the 2006 pay study. In 2005, Town employees received a combination ofmerit increases and one-time bonus awards based upon performance. During the 2006 budget process, the Board directed staffto look into options for salary increases that favored pay grades below 60. Furthermore, the merit/bonus system would again be used to control the compounding affect of merit increases. For 2006, staffproposes a combination of COLA, merit and bonus. The 1.2% merit will be divided evenly as a dollar amount among all eligible positions. Merit will be awarded subject to an annual performance review. Bonus awards will also me based upon performance and awarded at the discretion of the department head.
