DOVE VALLEY METROPOLITAN DISTRICT 2020 BUDGET
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS
Services Provided
The Dove Valley Metropolitan District (“the District”), a quasi-municipal corporation and a political subdivision of the State of Colorado, was organized by order and decree of the District Court on April 30, 1984, and is governed pursuant to provisions of the Colorado Special District Act (Title 32, Article 1, Colorado Revised Statutes).
The District was organized to provide street improvements, parks and recreational facilities, water supply, wastewater facilities, traffic and safety controls, public transportation, fire protection, mosquito control, television relay and operation and maintenance. The District's service area is located entirely within Arapahoe County, Colorado.
In December 1988 and in January 2000, the District amended its Service Plan to include the operation and/or maintenance of water and sanitation services, local sanitary, and drainage facilities and streets, either independently or pursuant to intergovernmental agreements with Arapahoe County, Parker Jordan Metropolitan District and Douglas County, as appropriate. In October 2004, The District again modified its Service Plan to reflect the Financial Plan and to grant the District the authority to issue the remaining voted debt in the amount of $18,000,000.
The District has no employees and all administrative functions are contractual.
The District 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
Property Taxes
Property taxes are levied by the District’s Board of Directors. 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. The 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 taxes collected monthly to the District.
The calculation of the taxes levied is displayed on the Property Tax Summary page of the budget using the adopted mill levy imposed by the District.
No assurance is provided on these financial statements. Substantially all required disclosures, the government-wide financial statements, and the statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances - governmental funds have been omitted.

Solara Designs August 7, 2020 2212 Fenton St, Edgewater, CO 80214 Dove Valley Metropolitan District Attn: David Solin, District Manager 141 Union Blvd., Suite 150 Lakewood, Colorado 80228 Dear Members of the Board, Following is an update re: status of the Dove Valley Trails Initiative and current Tree and Streetscape measures. Trails Initiative (See Attached Trails Maps) Fremont Ave to Cherry Creek Urban Trail: Construction and GESC plans are approved and ready for final permitting. Manhard has confirmed with SEMSWA that these approvals will remain valid for construction of the trail in 2021. The City of Centennial has confirmed their commitment to $186,000 in trail construction funding. ($150,000 from Centennial Open Space Funds and $36,000 from Public Works) Centennial had also committed to $24,500 in design funding, which is eligible for collection now. (See Below) Solara Designs is coordinating with SDMS to collect these funds. Kevin, A portion of the project is funded by PW ($36,000) because Open Space funding cannot fund it. PW also deferred their funding until 2021. That gives you the total of $186,000. I wanted to mention that if the design is complete you can request reimbursement of the $24,500 the City is funding. We had the original $10,000 and amended to add $14,500 last year. I don’t believe we have received any requests for payment to date. Thank you, Jenny Houlne | Principal Planner City of Centennial | Community Development Happy Canyon Trail: SEMSWA returned the $100,613 in collateral related to the Stormwater Public Improvements Permit in late December. SEMSWA approved our LOMR submittal in mid-July. The LOMR now moves on to FEMA / Urban Drainage for review. We anticipate FEMA approvals in late 2020 or early 2021. Once the LOMR is complete, SEMSWA will release the final $20,000 in collateral tied to the project.

Lone Tree Creek Trail: Construction of the portion of Phase 1 that lies within the Dove Valley District has been postponed. The City has come to an impasse with both the Airport Business Association and Invesco regarding terms surrounding the required trail easements. Apparently the Business Park has stipulated that the City accept responsibility for liability associated with potential trespassers accessing private property from the trail, and to add “No Trespassing” signs every 75 feet along the trail. The Dove Valley stretch of the trail cannot be completed without Business Association and Invesco cooperation. Phase 1 of the trail had been planned to extend from Broncos Parkway to Caley Avenue. The revised plan for Phase 1 is to construct only the portion that extends from Arapahoe Road to Caley Avenue. Phases 2 and 3 of the project are also still anticipated to move forward. These phases will extend the trail from Caley Avenue into Cherry Creek State Park, connecting with the Cherry Creek Regional Trail inside the park. Trail Maintenance: The Trail Maintenance IGA continues to be bogged down at Arapahoe County Open Spaces (ACOS). We responded to a July 22nd email from Glen Poole (ACOS Operations Manager) asking about next steps. The April 2019 Blackline version of the trail maintenance IGA is still at ACOS pending review & comment. There has been no further communication since. As currently drafted, the annual cost for County maintenance of the Happy Canyon and Broncos Parkway trail segments estimated at $8000. Services included are mowing, trash removal, and snow removal. It does appear the County has been performing these services. Given the approximate $16,500 in annual revenue from the Conservation Trust Fund, an $8000 annual budget to maintain these existing District-owned trails allows a sufficient reserve to maintain an additional 5000 lf of trail. Joint Funding for Trail and Regional Park Improvements: The reciprocal funding arrangement intended to leverage both Dove Valley District and ACOS dollars to fund construction of the Fremont Avenue Trail and improvements at Dove Valley Regional Park is on hold for the time being. The intent is to model the funding arrangement after a similar agreement recently completed between ACOS and the City of Centennial. For the Fremont Ave Trail, a reciprocal funding concept similar to the City of Centennial / ACOS model might look like the following. Fremont Ave Trail Construction Cost Total $546,000 (As per 10-28-19 Manhard Estimate) Requested City of Centennial Contribution $186,000 (Includes East End & former Post Office Parcel) Remainder to be funded (by ACOS) $360,000 ($546,000 - $186,000 = $360,000) DVMD contribution to Regional Park $240,000 ($360,000 x 0.667 = $240,000) Improvements (2/3rds of ACOS amount toward trail funding)

Streetscape Topics District-owned Trees / Streetscape: Rehab work at the Chambers Road signs continues. Additional infill perennial plantings, Tall Fescue grass seeding, and associated supplemental irrigation are underway. The special order of Blue Wonder Catmint for the median landscapes is now available, and the Lotito Brothers have completed median infill plantings west of Bronco’s Parkway and Jordan Road. The next area of focus will be Potomac Street near the Judicial Center. The early freeze last October and the late freeze this past spring have apparently taken a serious toll on many trees in the District. Ash Trees have been especially hard hit and many are already dead. As of today, the Lotito Brothers have removed all the dead trees, and the District’s insurance company has agreed to fund replacement trees. We will be submitting the attached proposal for approval shortly, and intend to plant the replacement trees as soon as possible once we have approval from the insurance company. Irrigation Controllers: Tony Lotito has suggested the Board consider replacing the solar irrigation controllers that were installed with the median landscape at Broncos Parkway east of Potomac. Apparently the controllers frequently fail to shut irrigation valves off at the end of the normal cycles. There have been cases where irrigation circuits have run for multiple days before being detected. Tony’s recommendation is to utilize the power now available from the new street lights to run smart controllers that can be linked with the District-wide system. This change should vastly increase watering efficiency and simplify management of the irrigation system. The Lotito Brothers will forward a proposal to make these controller changes prior to the August 17 Board meeting. Hannibal Street: Trash Dumping: There have been at least two new dumping incidents that must have occurred sometime in the past three weeks. David Solin has been working to implement a “dummy camera” and signage system to deter future dumping and other undesirable activity. Weeds / Revegetation: The revegetation at Hannibal Circle has final received SEMSWA approval. The one remaining concern SEMSWA has expressed relates to the recurring presence of noxious weeds. The Lotito Brothers will mow the weeds down again just prior to SEMSWA’s next inspection, the hope being that the specific timing of the mowing will yield a final approval. That completes the current report. As always, please feel free to contact my office with any questions or comments, Sincerely, Kevin Crehan Solara Designs
