URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO
2023 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

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

Exhibit A-1
24929633.3
Roadway Project Summary
One of the key blighting factors within the plan area is a lack of sufficient infrastructure, particularly
roadways and water/sewer facilities to facilitate and support development. The following summary of
proposed roadway projects will both assist in alleviating this condition and fulfilling the Dacono adopted
plans.
Roadway Goals:
• Implement the City of Dacono adopted roadway classification system in coordination with the
adopted Weld County system.
• Improve the capacity and mobility of Dacono and Weld County roadway network
• Develop and maintain a safe and efficient roadway network.
• Improve the movement of people, goods and emergency services, through the City of Dacono
and adjacent Weld County communities by enhancing roadway network.
• Improve roads with culverts and crossings that are structurally deficient and functionally
obsolete because of inadequate lane widths, shoulder widths, to serve current and projected
traffic demand, or those that may be occasionally flooded.
WCR 12- Grand View Blvd. (I-25 east to Holly Street WCR 15)- Estimated project cost $7,924,174.
Grand View Blvd. is an adopted east-west truck route through the City of Dacono. Grand View Blvd.
This roadway serves areas of unincorporated Weld County and the Mountain View Fire Protection
District Station #7.
WCR 8 Summit Blvd (I-25 to WCR 17)- Estimated project cost $15,789,703. I-25 is a significant east/west
highway which serves as a gateway to Weld County. Summit Blvd. Summit Blvd. serves as a primary links
to/from I-25 eastward into Weld County.
WCR 10 Graden Blvd (I-25 to WCR 17)- Estimated project cost $12,163,318. Completion of Graden
Blvd. The intent is to upgrade the roadway, construction of a bridge deck at Little Dry Creek and
facilitate mobility. This project will also provide connectivity between Dacono and areas of
unincorporated Weld County. WCR 10 improvements also contribute to network redundancy by creating
an east-west alternate route to SH52.
WCR 13- Colorado Blvd. (SH52-WCR 6/city limits)- Estimated project cost $16,535,944. Colorado Blvd. is
a significant north-south arterial and designated truck route through the City of Dacono. Colorado Blvd.
serves as an alternate to I-25. This roadway serves both areas of unincorporated Weld County and
Dacono residents. Weld County Road 13 is identified as a Strategic Roadway by the Weld County 2035
Transportation Plan. County Road 13 is ranked #17 of roadways in Weld County identified as “Highest
Traveled County Roads.”
WCR 15- Holly Street (SH52-WCR 6)- Estimated project cost $15,966,836. Holly Street is an unimproved
gravel roadway along the eastern boundary of the current City limits. Improvements to this roadway will
contribute to the continuity and connectivity of roadways between the City of Dacono and
unincorporated Weld County.
Exhibit A-2
WCR 11- York Street (SH52-WCR 10)- Estimated project cost $14,904,583. York Street is identified as a
Strategic Roadway by the Weld County 2035 Transportation Plan and an alignment study of WCR 9.5
and WCR 11 on the east side of I-25 was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in October of
2003. WCR 11 improvements also contribute to network redundancy by creating a north-south
