MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
As management of the Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono (the Authority), we offer readers of the
Authority’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the
Authority for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Financial Highlights
Liabilities and deferred inflows of resources exceed assets by $7,120,952 at the close of the
fiscal year. This is primarily due to the Authority being responsible for the repayment of debt
issued for public improvements which were conveyed to other governmental entities and which
costs were removed from the Authority’s financial records.
Cash and investments at the close of the fiscal year were $3,512,469 including a restricted
amount of $1,919,302, from bond proceeds to be used for capital projects.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Authority governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $3,452,350.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Authority’s basic financial
statements. The Authority’s basic financial statements are comprised of the three components:
1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to basic financial
statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial
statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to
provide readers with a broad overview of the Authority’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-
section business.
The statement of net position represents information on all of the Authority’s assets and liabilities, with
the difference between the two reported as net position.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying
event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues
and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future
fiscal periods.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control
over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Authority, like other
state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Authority are governmental funds.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term
inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available
at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term
financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The Authority maintains three major governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances for each of the major funds – General Fund, Debt Service Fund, and
Capital Projects Fund.
The Authority adopts an annual budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison statement has
been provided for this fund in the basic financial statements to demonstrate compliance with this
budget.
Notes to financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Supplementary information. The report includes individual fund schedules. Budgetary comparison
schedules have been provided in this section for the capital projects fund to demonstrate compliance
with the budget.

Authority’s case, 2022 ended with total assets valued at $32,350,179, with outstanding liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources of $39,471,131. The Authority’s assets consist primarily of cash and
investments, taxes receivable and capital assets. The Authority’s liabilities consist of current payables
and bonds payable.

The Authority’s net position increased $7,129,523 from prior year, mainly due to the reduction of long-
term debt resulting from the bond principal payment made during the year. General revenues consist
primarily of incremental property taxes, which was $13,508,780.
Financial Analysis of the Governmental Funds
As noted earlier, the Authority uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements. The focus of the Authority’s governmental funds is to provide
information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources Such information is
useful in assessing the Authority’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balances may
serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the
fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the Authority’s governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $3,452,350. Of this balance, $1,895,676 is restricted for capital projects, $23,626 is
restricted for debt service, $1,113,115 is assigned to subsequent year’s expenditures, and $419,933
constitutes the unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the government’s discretion
within the parameters established for the general fund.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are

Capital Outlay 21,496
Long-term debt (e.g., issuance of bonds, loans, and the receipt of Developer

of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022
NOTE 1 DEFINITION OF REPORTING ENTITY
The Economic Development Authority of Dacono (the Authority) 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 currently has two outstanding project plans; they are identified as follows:
1) Dacono I Urban Renewal Plan – The Plan Area was approved in 2015 which
includes 352 nonresidential parcels comprising of approximately 4,480 total acres,
including rights-of-ways. The purpose of this Plan is to reduce, eliminate and prevent
the spread of blight and to stimulate and catalyze growth and investment within the
Area boundaries.
2) Dacono II Urban Renewal Plan – The Plan Area was approved in November 2019 for
19 nonresidential parcels comprising approximately 1,278 acres, as well as rights-of-
ways, located between State Highway 52 on the north and County Road 6 on the
south. The purpose of this Plan is to reduce and remove blighting conditions
adversely impacting properties and businesses in the Area. In addition, it is the
Authority’s intention to finance, install, construct, reconstruct and cooperate with
others to complete capital improvements to infrastructure and utilities in the Area, in
an effort to further local and regional economic growth, and facilitate the
development of the community.
The Authority follows the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) accounting
pronouncements which provide guidance for determining which governmental activities,
organizations and functions should be included within the financial reporting entity. GASB
pronouncements set forth the financial accountability of a governmental organization’s
elected governing body as the basic criterion for including a possible component
governmental organization in a primary government’s legal entity. Financial accountability
includes, but is not limited to, appointment of a voting majority of the organization’s
governing body, ability to impose its will on the organization, a potential for the organization
to provide specific financial benefits or burdens and fiscal dependency.
The Authority has no employees, and all administrative functions are contracted.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 statutes, the City is not liable with respect to the bonds issued by the
Authority.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The more significant accounting policies of the Authority are described as follows:
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements include the statement of net position and the
statement of activities. These financial statements include all of the activities of the
Authority. The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements.
Governmental activities are normally supported by incremental property taxes and
intergovernmental revenues.
The statement of net position reports all financial and capital resources of the Authority. The
difference between the assets, deferred outflow of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflow
of resources of the Authority is reported as net position.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct and indirect
expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses
are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues
include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from
goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for the governmental funds. Major individual
governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized
as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be
available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to
pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Authority considers revenues to be
available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. The
major sources of revenue susceptible to accrual are incremental property taxes. All other
revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received
by the Authority. Expenditures, other than interest on long-term obligations, are recorded
when the liability is incurred or the long-term obligation due.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
(Continued)
The Authority reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the Authority’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in
another fund.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for the resources accumulated and payments made for
principal and interest on long-term debt of the governmental funds.
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the
acquisition and construction of major capital facilities.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-
wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the
Authority’s administrative function and various other functions of the Authority. Elimination of
these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various
functions covered.
Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants for
goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital
grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are
reported as general revenues rather than as program revenue. Likewise, general revenues
include all incremental taxes received by the Authority.
Budgets
In accordance with the State Budget Law, the Authority’s Board of Commissioners holds
public hearings in the fall each year to approve the budget and appropriate the funds for the
ensuing year. The appropriation is at the total fund expenditures and other financing uses
level and lapses at year-end. The Authority’s Board of Commissioners can modify the
budget by line item within the total appropriation without notification. The appropriation can
only be modified upon completion of notification and publication requirements. The budget
includes each fund on its basis of accounting unless otherwise indicated.
The Authority has amended its annual budget for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Pooled Cash and Investments
The Authority follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds to maximize
investment earnings. Except when required by trust or other agreements, all cash is
deposited to and disbursed from a single bank account. Cash in excess of immediate
operating requirements is pooled for deposit and investment flexibility. Investment earnings
are allocated periodically to the participating funds based upon each fund’s average equity
balance in the total cash and investments.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
Property taxes are levied by various taxing entities in each of the project areas by
certification to the County Commissioners. The levy is based on assessed valuations
determined by the County Assessor generally as of January 1 of each year. The levy is
normally set by December 15 by certification to the County Commissioners to put the tax
lien on the individual properties as of January 1 of the following year. The County Treasurer
collects the determined taxes during the ensuing calendar year. Taxes are payable by April
or if in equal installments, at the taxpayer’s election, in February and June. Delinquent
taxpayers are notified in August and generally sales of the tax liens on delinquent properties
are held in November or December. The County Treasurer remits the incremental taxes
collected monthly to the Authority.
Incremental property taxes, net of estimated uncollectible taxes, are recorded initially as
deferred inflows of resources in the year they are levied and measurable. The incremental
property tax revenues are recorded as revenue in the year they are available or collected.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g. roads,
sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental activities column
in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the Authority as
assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000. Such assets are recorded at
historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital
assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
Capital assets which are anticipated to be conveyed to other governmental entities are
recorded as construction in progress and are not included in the calculation of net
investment in capital assets component of the Authority’s net position.
It is the policy of the City to accept maintenance responsibility for all major public
infrastructure within the City upon the Authority’s completion and conveyance of such
improvements provided they meet the City’s specifications.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Deferred Inflow/Outflow of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred
outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of
resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so
will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that time.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred
inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of
resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will
not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Authority has one
item that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, incremental property
tax revenue, is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the
amount becomes available.
Fund Equity
Net Position
For government-wide presentation purposes when both restricted and unrestricted
resources are available for use, it is the Authority’s practice to use restricted resources first,
then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Fund Balance
Fund balance for governmental funds should be reported in classifications that comprise a
hierarchy based on the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the
specific purposes for which spending can occur. Governmental funds report up to five
classifications of fund balance: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. Because circumstances differ among governments, not every government or
every governmental fund will present all of these components. The following classifications
describe the relative strength of the spending constraints:
Nonspendable Fund Balance – The portion of fund balance that cannot be spent
because it is either not in spendable form (such as prepaid amounts or inventory) or
legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted Fund Balance – The portion of fund balance that is constrained to being used
for a specific purpose by external parties (such as bondholders), constitutional
provisions, or enabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance – The portion of fund balance that can only be used for
specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s
highest level of decision-making authority, the Board of Commissioners. The constraint
may be removed or changed only through formal action of the Board of Commissioners.

Fund Balance (Continued)
Assigned Fund Balance – The portion of fund balance that is constrained by the
government’s intent to be used for specific purposes but is neither restricted nor
committed. Intent is expressed by the Board of Commissioners to be used for a specific
purpose. Constraints imposed on the use of assigned amounts are more easily removed
or modified than those imposed on amounts that are classified as committed.
Unassigned Fund Balance – The residual portion of fund balance that does not meet any
of the criteria described above.
If more than one classification of fund balance is available for use when an expenditure is
incurred, it is the Authority’s practice to use the most restrictive classification first.
NOTE 3 CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash and investments as of December 31, 2022, are classified in the accompanying
financial statements as follows:
Statement of Net Position:
Cash and Investments $ 1,593,167
Cash and Investments - Restricted 1,919,302
Total Cash and Investments $ 3,512,469
Cash and investments as of December 31, 2022, consist of the following:
Deposits with Financial Institutions $ 1,668,029
Investments 1,844,440
Total Cash and Investments $ 3,512,469
Deposits with Financial Institutions
The Colorado Public Deposit Protection Act (PDPA) requires that all units of local
government deposit cash in eligible public depositories. Eligibility is determined by state
regulators. Amounts on deposit in excess of federal insurance levels must be collateralized.
The eligible collateral is determined by the PDPA. PDPA allows the institution to create a
single collateral pool for all public funds. The pool for all the uninsured public deposits as a
group is to be maintained by another institution or held in trust. The market value of the
collateral must be at least 102% of the aggregate uninsured deposits.
The State Commissioners for banks and financial services are required by statute to monitor
the naming of eligible depositories and reporting of the uninsured deposits and assets
maintained in the collateral pools.
At December 31, 2022, the Authority’s cash deposits had a bank balance of $1,668,502 and
a carrying balance of $1,668,029.

Investments
The Authority has not adopted a formal investment policy; however, the Authority follows
state statutes regarding investments.
The Authority generally limits its concentration of investments to those noted with an
asterisk (*) below, which are believed to have minimal credit risk, minimal interest rate risk,
and no foreign currency risk. Additionally, the Authority is not subject to concentration risk or
investment custodial risk disclosure requirements for investments that are in the possession
of another party.
Colorado revised statutes limit investment maturities to five years or less unless formally
approved by the Board of Commissioners. Such actions are generally associated with a
debt service reserve or sinking fund requirements.
Colorado statutes specify investment instruments meeting defined rating and risk criteria in
which local governments may invest which include:
. Obligations of the United States, certain U.S. government agency securities, and
securities of the World Bank
. General obligation and revenue bonds of U.S. local government entities
. Certain certificates of participation
. Certain securities lending agreements
. Bankers’ acceptances of certain banks
. Commercial paper
. Written repurchase agreements and certain reverse repurchase agreements
collateralized by certain authorized securities
. Certain money market funds
. Guaranteed investment contracts

pool surplus funds. The State Securities Commissioner administers and enforces all State
statutes governing the Trust. The Trust currently offers three portfolios – COLOTRUST
PRIME, COLOTRUST PLUS+, and COLOTRUST EDGE.
COLOTRUST PRIME and COLOTRUST PLUS+, which operate similarly to a money market
fund and each share is equal in value to $1.00, offer daily liquidity. Both portfolios may
invest in U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S.
Treasury securities. COLOTRUST PLUS+ may also invest in certain obligations of U.S.
government agencies, highest rated commercial paper, and any security allowed under CRS
24‐75‐601.
COLOTRUST EDGE, a variable Net Asset Value (NAV) Local Government Investment Pool,
offers weekly liquidity and is managed to approximate a $10.00 transactional share price.
COLOTRUST EDGE may invest in securities authorized by CRS 24-75-601, including U.S.
Treasury securities, repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities,
certain obligations of U.S. government agencies, highest rated commercial paper, and any
security allowed under CRS 24-75-601.
A designated custodial bank serves as custodian for the Trust’s portfolios pursuant to a
custodian agreement. The custodian acts as safekeeping agent for the Trust’s investment
portfolios and provides services as the depository in connection with direct investments and
withdrawals. The custodian’s internal records segregate investments owned by the Trust.
COLOTRUST PRIME and COLOTRUST PLUS+ are rated AAAm by Standard & Poor’s.
COLOTRUST EDGE is rated AAAf/S1 by FitchRatings. COLOTRUST records its
investments at fair value and the District records its investment in COLOTRUST at net asset
value as determined by fair value. There are no unfunded commitments, the redemption
frequency is daily or weekly, and there is no redemption notice period.

NOTE 9 TAX, SPENDING, AND DEBT LIMITATIONS
Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution, commonly known as the Taxpayer’s Bill of
Rights (TABOR), contains tax, spending, revenue, and debt limitations which apply to the
State of Colorado and all local governments.
In 2002, the Colorado Court of Appeals determined that TABOR does not apply to urban
