Meeting Date: November 3, 2021
Subject: Resolution 21-08, a Resolution of the Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono
Adopting the Annual Budget and Appropriating Expenditures for the Urban Renewal
Authority of Dacono for Fiscal Year 2022.
Presenter: Carrie Bartow, Chief Financial Officer
Jennifer Krieger, Executive Director
Background: The proposed amended 2022 budget reflects expected revenues and
expenditures for Dacono Plan Area I and Dacono Plan Area II for the Urban Renewal
Authority of Dacono. Incremental property tax revenue is the primary funding sources for
the URAD.
Proposed 2022 projects, funded from the Dacono I Urban Renewal Plan Area I include:
• Preliminary roadway engineering and shared construction cost for a portion of Weld
County Road 12 (Grand View Blvd). Due to the timing of the property owner’s
entitlement process, this project was not completed in 2021.
• I-25 corridor land use and economic development study. This project aims to conduct
a market study and identify economic development opportunities along the I-25
corridor to leverage private investment in the Dacono Plan Area I. This project began
in 2021 and will continue in 2022.
• URAD-owned property market study.
Incremental revenue generated from the Dacono Plan Area II is pledged revenue for debt
service payment of the Authority Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Series 2020.
Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 21-08, adopting the
fiscal year 2022 budget.

URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO
2022 BUDGET
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS
Services Provided
The Economic Development Authority of Dacono was formed by resolution passed March 23, 2015, by
the City Council of the City of Dacono, Colorado (the City) pursuant to the Colorado Urban Renewal
Law, Colorado Revised Statutes. On June 8, 2020, a resolution was passed to change the name of the
organization to the Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono (Authority). The purpose of the Authority is to
acquire and develop certain blighted areas in the City to maintain the public welfare.
The Authority is considered a component unit of the City since the Authority’s tax increment financing
indicates financial accountability with the City, due to the benefits redevelopment will provide the City.
The Mayor appoints the Authority board members and the City Council reviews the Urban Renewal
Plans and any changes thereto. Legal counsel is of the opinion that under state statues, the City is not
liable with respect to the bonds issued by the Authority.
The Authority has no employees and all administrative functions are contracted.
The Authority prepares its budget on the modified accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the
requirements of Colorado Revised Statutes C.R.S. 29-1-105 using its best estimates as of the date of
the budget hearing. These estimates are based on expected conditions and its expected course of
actions. The assumptions disclosed herein are those that the District believes are significant to the
budget. There will usually be differences between the budget and actual results, because events and
circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material.
Revenues
Incremental Property Taxes
The Authority receives incremental property tax revenue for each of the active Urban Renewal areas.
Incremental property tax revenues are the property tax revenues in excess of an amount equal to the
ad valorem property taxes produced by the levy at the rates fixed for such year by or for the governing
bodies of the various taxing jurisdictions within or overlapping the Urban Renewal area upon a
valuation for assessment equal to the property tax base amount. The property tax base amount is
certified by the County Assessor as the valuation for assessment of all taxable property within the
Urban Renewal area last certified by the County Assessor prior to the adoption of the Urban Renewal
plan. The base amount may be proportionately adjusted for general reassessments in accordance with
Colorado law.
The calculation of the incremental property taxes budgeted is displayed on the Property Summary
Information pages the budget at the estimated mill levies for each project area.
Interest Income
Interest earned on the Authority’s available funds has been estimated based on the current
average interest rate.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS
Expenditures
Administrative Expenditures
Administrative expenditures include the services necessary to maintain the administrative viability such
as legal, accounting, audit, contractual, and professional services, and other administrative expenses
for the Authority.
County Treasurer’s Fees
County Treasurer’s collection fees have been computed at 1.5% of the incremental property taxes.
Property Tax Increment Payment
City Cooperation Agreement. On December 16, 2019, the Authority entered into a Cooperation
Agreement (Dacono II Urban Renewal Plan) with the City (the “City Cooperation Agreement”). Pursuant
to the City Cooperation Agreement, the parties agreed that, in furtherance of carrying out the purposes
of the Plan, the Authority may retain and expend, 100% of the following revenue: (a) incremental
property tax revenues derived from the City’s mill levy and transferred by the County Treasurer to the
Authority for deposit into the Special Fund (the “City Property Tax Increment”) and (b) the incremental
sales and use tax revenues from the portion of the City’s 3.0% general fund sales and use tax which
are in excess of the sales tax base amount which revenues are deposited into the Special Fund by the
City (the “City Sales Tax Increment” and together with the City Property Tax Increment, the “City
Increment”). Under the City Cooperation Agreement, the Authority agreed to use the City Increment to
pay eligible costs of the redevelopment of the TIF Area. The City Sales Tax Increment is not pledged to
the Bonds and will be used by the Authority for other uses. The City presently imposes a debt service
mill levy for the payment of general obligation indebtedness (2.62 of its 25.082 mills imposed in 2019,
all of which will contribute to the Pledged Revenues) with a final maturity date of December 1, 2025.
County Tax Increment Revenue Sharing Agreement. On December 16, 2019, the Authority entered into
a Tax Increment Revenue Sharing Agreement with the County (the “County Sharing Agreement”). The
parties agreed that the Authority may retain 50% of the net property tax increment revenues generated
from the County’s mill levy during the TIF Period (the “County Increment”) and the Authority will remit to
the County the remaining 50% of the net property tax increment revenues.
St. Vrain Valley School District IGA. On December 16, 2019, the Authority and St. Vrain Valley School
District RE-1J (the “St. Vrain School District”) entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement for Tax
Increment Revenue Sharing By And Between the Economic Development Authority of Dacono and St.
Vrain Valley School District (the “St. Vrain School District IGA”). The parties agreed that the Authority
may retain the property tax increment revenues generated from the St. Vrain School District’s mill levy
(currently in the amount of 24.995 mills) established by the Colorado Public School Finance Act,
Section 22-54-106, C.R.S. (the “St. Vrain Total Program Mill Levy Increment”) and the Authority will
remit to the St. Vrain School District all of the property tax increment revenues derived from the St.
Vrain School District’s other mill levies and any future mill levies. The parties agreed that the Authority
may retain an annual administrative fee equal to 1% of property tax increment revenues received by the

Jessica Harvey, Harvey Economics
Background: The URAD I-25 Corridor Subarea Plan aims to develop a future land use plan
of action for URAD to reduce, eliminate, and prevent the spread of blight and stimulate and
catalyze growth and investment within the URAD's I-25 corridor study area.
The project scope proposes an I-25 subarea plan that updates and expands upon the
objectives for the I-25 corridor established in the 2015 Dacono Urban Renewal Plan. The
URAD I-25 Corridor Subarea Plan will include an updated future land use plan for the I-25
corridor based on new economic market analysis and recommendations for the creation of
zoning tools to implement the subarea plan.
The I-25 corridor study area encompasses three square miles and is bounded on the west
by 1-25, on the east by WCR 11/York Street, on the south by WCR 8/Summit Boulevard,
and the north by SH 52.
