Illilillillirli~lilill b , RESOLUTION NO. WHEREAS, the Town of Estes Park along with federal, state, and other local governments shares in the responsibility of building and maintaining the nation's physical and institutional infrastructure~and in providing essential services needed to promote the general welfare; and WHEREAS , the federal government over the last two decades has steadily reduced its assistance in meeting infrastructure requirements, and has shifted more and more financial / responsibility to states and units of local government; and WHEREAS, financing state and local government public projects through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds is critical to allow states and local governments to exercise the responsibilities entrusted to and expected of them; and WHEREAS, in recent years, the U.S. Congress has restricted the use of tax-exempt bonds by states and local governments, and made tax-exempt bonds less attractive to significant groups of purchasers, and thereby driving up the cost of financing public service projects; and WHEREAS, in 1988 the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a 100- year-old precedent, ruling for the first time that the Constitution does not prohibit the federal government from taxing the interest on state and local government bonds; and . 1 . -2- WHEREAS, the Supreme Court decision places in jeopardy the use of tax-exempt bonds by the more than 85,000 units of local government, including the Town of Estes Park, as Congress seeks new sources of revenue to reduce the federal deficit; and WHEREAS, further restrictions on the use of tax-exempt bonds for legitimate public purpose will seriously impair the ability of local governments to finance essential services, including electricity, water, sewer, transit and other basic functions, to the detriment of all citizens; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park that the Town of Estes Park hereby calls upon Congress and the executive branch to recognize that the local burden of maintaining and expanding the national infrastructure and providing citizens with needed basic services cannot be met without tax-exempt bonds, and to resist all further efforts to reduce the use of such bonds to finance public governmental project; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees hereby authorizes the Mayor to undertake to contact the Town of Estes Park's congressional representatives, the American Public Power Association, newspapers, and community and public opinion leaders as necessary in order to educate them further as to the reasons for the Town of Estes Park's concern and to undertake such other actions in support of this call and resolution as he deems appropriate. 10 3 to M E E MONTH ON PEAK LGS MUNICIPAL PLATTE RIVER USEAGE DEMAND DEMAND COST COST COST Oct-88 7200 10 $2,096.86 453.46 1842.24 Nov-88 29040 230 33 $3,058.26 1828.94 2250.13 MEAIN NIMVUd UVdIOINDW SDU N¥36 NO MN HINOW MSOO MSOO ESOO aNVWaa GNVWEG 89vasn VO'L26 9..Eg, 98'960'3$ OI OOZL 88-400 €6 fEEI D6'838I 93'890'ES EE 0EZ OV063 88-AON WEN 68/t,/I SKI ESTES PARK 1987 PEAK= 326 Dec-88 56640 338 $4,893.96 3567.19 SKI ESTES PARK 1987 PEAK= 150 6I'L99E 96'268'VS 8EE 0•999 88-oaa RATE COMPARISON RATE COMPARISON A 0 04 A 0 M H M Ul E-1 M U) §§§§§§14§0 ' i ' 1 1 ' lm---VI~- I X - 0 M 1 i 19 co > 0, M r-1 0 jf U 0Q 0 04,-1 11 m EM . 01 A N 0 m Z 0 01 m /X 0 M 01 - <- 0 M3 COMME-IMZ ,-1 0 4 A - 1000 :TZ 0€:ST 0€:GI OE:9 08.0 EWIM SYST M SYSTEM LOAD *Ad#* aVOT SEmSZ IXS 16000 - 14000 - 12000 - 10000 ~ - 0008 - 0009 - 000, - 0003 4* .: 5,0 &-4 -1 9161 -71 . 1. . , 7 -~ '1'.1FU·i, PUBLIC POWER WEEK 1988 *4 1 , 10 ., 0 4 ,:1 t f,,.j,ifj} .I,?
