Fonda , Director of Utilities Charles J. Caudill, Process Development Analyst COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION Ordinance No . 2 , Series 1995 -1996, January 2 , 1996, approving purchase of 5760 acres of farm land in Adams and Arapahoe Counties . Study session regarding the land purchase suggested contribution to the counties with respect to services to certain real property . RECOMMENDED ACTION The recommended action is to approve by Ordinance Nonbinding Intergovernmental Letters of Understanding with Arapahoe and Adams counties for Service Fee Payments . e BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED Biosolids , the solid residual produced from sewage treatment, is beneficially recycled on dryland wheat fields as a soil amendment and fertilizer. The Cities of Englewood and Littleton own a total of 7040 acres to ensure stable and secure biosolids recycling for the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant. The city owned property is estimated to meet facility needs past the year 2015 . Since the cities are political subdivisions of the State , the property has been deleted from the tax roles as of the date of purchase. A fee with respect to services to certain real property in the amount equivalent to the property taxes that otherwise would be assessed against the property would assist in the provision of services such as road maintenance , law enforcement and fire protection . In addition, the contribution would enhance public relations in the surrounding farming communities. A non binding understanding would allow the cities to contribute only if desired . The contribution would be reviewed annually in the budgeting process and appropriated if desired. FINANCIAL IMPACT The contribution in lieu of taxes to both counties would total approximately $10 ,000 annually . The contribution will be split 50/50 with the City of Littleton. Funds are budgeted for 1997. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS Intergovernmental Nonbinding Letters of Understanding .. • Helen L Hill, Treasurer E X H I B I T 1 Bi-City Wastewater Treatment Plant 2900 South Platte River Drive Englewood, CO 80110 January 10, 1997 Adams County Treasurer's Office 450 S. 4th Avenue Brighton, CO 80601 Dear Ms. Hill: Re: Intergovernmental Nonbincling Letter of Understanding for Service Fee Payment This letter will seive as confirmation of an intergovernmental nonbinding understanding reached between the Cities of Littleton and Englewood and Adams County, Colorado respecting services to certain real property owned by the Cities. See Attachment A hereto. The Cities want to ensure that services to this property are continued and to that end desire to make a service fee payment to Adams County to ensure the ongoing availability of various governmental seIVices. Since the Cities are political subdivisions of the state, the property has been deleted from the county tax roles as of the date of purchase. Nevertheless, the Cities are willing to pay an amount equivalent to the property taxes that otherwise would be assessed against this property in order to assist in the provision of services such as road maintenance, law enforcement and fire protection to the property if Adams County is willing to accept such payments and to provide such services on a continuing basis . ' -~ .... The Cities intend, subject to annual council review and appropriation, to pay Adams County an annual fee for such services. For the purpose of determining the amount the Cities would pay each year, Adams County will provide to the Cities, annually, the assessed valuation and equivalent of taxes due statement that will show the equivalent amount of taxes that normally would be assessed against the property, had it not been taken off the Assessor's tax role. H the Cities determine to make such payment in any given year, it will be made payable to Adams County and be sent through the Adams County Treasurer's Office for processing with reference to this letter of understanding. The Adams County Treasurer's Office will distribute the fee paid by the Cities to those taxing authorities who would have been entitled to receive a portion of the payment had the property remained on the tax roles, and shall notify those entities of the purpose of such payments. Nothing herein shall be deemed binding, mandatory or enforceable against the other parties. Very truly yours, City of Littleton: By: ___________ _ City of Englewood: By: ___________ _ .. •
