Proposed Initiative Number 1999-2000 #205 1
The title as designated and fixed by the Board is as follows:
AN AMENDMENT TO THE COLORADO CONSTITUTION EST AB LIS HING A $25 TAX CUT TO LOWER
EACH 2001 ST A TE AND LOCAL TAX IN EACH TAX BILL FOR EACH UTILITY CUSTOMER AND OCCUPATION
TAX AND FRANCHISE CHARGE, VEHICLE SALES, USE, AND OWNERSHIP TAX, INCOME TAX, PROPERTY
TAX, INCOME AND PROPERTY TAX EQUAL TO YEARLY REVENUE FROM SAL ES AND USE TAXES ON FOOD

SPECIFYING THAT THE TAX CUTS AND STATE REPLACEMENT OF LOCAL REVENUE SHALL NOT LOWER
ST ATE OR LOCAL EXCESS REVENUE; ALLOWING THE ST ATE TO LIMIT LOCAL ACTS INCREASING
REPLACEMENT COSTS; AND PROVIDING THAT ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS SHALL ALWAYS BE PAID TO
SUCCESSFUL PLAINTIFFS ONLY .
The ballot title and submission clause as designated and fixed by the Board is as follows:
SHALL THERE BE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COLORADO CONSTITUTION ESTABLISHING A $25 TAX
CUT TO LOWER EACH 2001 ST ATE AND LOCAL TAX IN EACH TAX BILL FOR EACH UTILITY CUSTOMER
AND OCCUPATION TAX AND FRANCHISE CHARGE, VEHICLE SALES, USE, AND OWNERSHIP TAX, INCOME
TAX , PROPERTY TAX, INCOME AND PROPERTY TAX EQUAL TO YEARLY REVENUE FROM SALES AND USE
TAXES ON FOOD AND DRINK OTHER THAN TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL, AND INCOME TAX EQUAL TO
YEARLY REVENUE FROM EST A TE TAXES, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH , INCREASING THE TAX CUT
$25 YEARLY; SPECIFYING THAT THE TAX CUTS AND STATE REPLACEMENT OF LOCAL REVENUE SHALL
NOT LOWER STATE OR LOCAL EXCESS REVENUE; ALLOWING THE STA TE TO LIMIT LOCAL ACTS
INCREASING REPLACEMENT COSTS; AND PROVIDING THAT ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS SHALL ALWAYS
BE PAID TO SUCCESSFUL PLAINTIFFS ONLY?
The summary prepared by the Board is as follows:
This measure amends article X, section 20 of the Colorado constitution, by adding a new
paragraph ( d) to subsection (8). A $25 tax cut , increased $25 each year, would lower each state and
local tax bill for each utility customer and occupation tax and franchise charge; vehicle sales, use, and
ownership tax; yearly income tax; property tax ; income and property tax equal to yearly revenue from
sales and use taxes on food and drink other than tobacco and alcohol; and income tax equal to yearly
revenue from estate taxes. The initial tax cut of $25 is applied to tax bill s for tax year 2001. The
measure specifies that a joint income tax return equals two tax bills.
I . Amend TABOR -Tax Cuts
1
The measure specifies that the tax cuts established by this measure and state replacement of
local revenue shall not lower state or local excess revenue. The state may limit local acts increasing
replacement costs. Attorney fees and costs are always paid to successful plaintiffs only who seek to
enforce this measure.
State impacts. The combined state fiscal impact of the tax cuts is a cumulative net negative
impact of at least $663.7 million. The state income tax cut would reduce general fund revenue by
$283.4 million cumulatively during the 30-month period from January 1, 2001, to June 30, 2003. For
this same 3 0-month period, the cumulative loss of revenue to the state of sales and use taxes paid on
vehicles is estimated to be $3 5 million, the impact of an income tax credit for the sales and use taxes
paid on the purchase of food and drink other than alc ohol and tobacco is estimated to be $183 .5
million cumulatively, and the impact of an income tax credit for estate taxes is estimated to be $160. 7
million cumulatively . In addition, the cut in the state utility customer tax would reduce the growth
in state general fund revenue by a significant but indeterminate amount during the 30-month period
beginning January 1, 2001.
The state would incur costs of at least $1, 100,000 to administer the tax cuts established by
this measure .
If the state replaces lost local revenues, the fiscal impact of the measure to the state would
increase by the amount of any such replacement.
Local impacts. The overall fiscal impact of the measure on local governments is
indeterminate. If the state replaces local revenue lost due to the tax cuts , it is possible that there will
be no direct fiscal impact on local governments. If there is no state replacement, the measure would
have a substantial negative fiscal impact on local governments.
The lost revenues from sales and use taxes paid on vehicles at the local level is estimated at
$38,929,052 for the 2001 local government fiscal year, while the cumulative impact of the proposed
tax cut on specific ownership revenues would result in $58, 190,300 in lost revenues for the same
fiscal year. Without state replacement, it is estimated that the measure would, at a minimum, reduce
local government utility customer tax revenues by $39,061,150 for the 2001 local government fiscal
year and reduce revenues from utility occupation taxes and utility franchise charges by $71,595,581
over the same fiscal year.
The lost local revenues from the property tax cut would be $114,352,350 for property tax bills
due in 2002. The property tax cut equal to yearly revenue from sales and use taxes on food and drink
other than tobacco and alcohol would cause local property tax revenue to decrease by a substantial
but indeterminate amount.
The requirement that attorney fees and costs are always be paid to successful plaintiffs could
have a considerable, though indeterminate, fiscal impact on local governments.

Final Draft
TAX CUTS
The proposed amendment to the Colorado Constitution:
2 ./ cuts each tax bill by $25 for property, income, utility, and vehicle taxes;
3 ./ increases the amount of each tax cut by $25 per year;
4 ,/ prohibits the provisions of the measure from reducing the amount of state
5 or local re venue that must be refunded to taxpayers under current law;
6 ,/ requires that a husband and wife each receive the tax cuts that affect state
7 income taxes.
8 Background
9 The proposal provides for an ini tial $25 tax cut for several state and local taxes.
10 When the state and local governments each impose a particular tax, the tax cut applies to
11 each government's tax. The amount of each tax cut increases by $25 per year, up to the
12 amount of the tax paid . For example, ifan annual tax bill is $70, the tax will be reduced $25
13 in the first year and $50 in the second year, and the tax will be eliminated in the third year.
14 Most of the taxes to which the cuts apply are for the general operations of government, such
15 as schools, prisons, constructing buildings , libraries, and fire protection. A portion of the
16 taxes are allocated for specific purposes , such as highways and the repayment of bonds.
17 Property tax. All counties and school districts and most cities and special districts
18 impose a property tax. Property taxes are reduced in two ways. First, each local
19 government's tax is directly reduced, and then it is reduced a second time to rebate any sales
20 tax revenue collected by the local government on food and nonalcoholic beverages sold at
21 grocery stores and restaurants . Homeowners and businesses pay property taxes to multiple
22 local governments and will receive the tax cut from each government. Owners of multiple
23 properties are entitled to tax cuts for each property . The property tax cuts begin with bills
24 received in 2002.
25 Income tax. Three of the tax cuts affect the state's income tax. First, individual and
26 corporate income taxes are directly cut. Next, income taxes are further cut to return the
27 amount of sales tax that the state collects on food and nonalcoholic beverages sold at
28 restaurants. Finally, income taxes are cut again to return the money the state receives from
29 the estate tax. The amount returned for food and nonalcoholic beverages is expected to
30 increase to $75 per taxp ayer in the third year, but to less than $100 in the fourth year. The
31 amount returned for estate taxes is expected to be $25 in the first year, but less than $50 in
32 the second year. The income tax cuts begin with income tax returns filed in 2002.
-1-
1 Utility taxes and charges. This proposal affects taxes and franchise charges paid
2 on utility services. H omeowners and renters do not pay state sales taxes on their gas and
3 electric bills, but in most cases pay local taxes on these bills. Telephone bills can include
4 sales taxes for service s for regular telephones, cellular telephones, FAX machines, pagers,
5 and other telecommun ications equipment. The tax cuts for utility taxes and charges begin
6 in 2001.
7 Vehicle taxes. The state, a few special districts such as RTD and the baseball
8 stadium district, and most cities and counties impose a sales tax when a vehicle is purchased.
9 The tax cut applies to the state sales tax and each local sales tax. In addition to sales tax,
10 a vehicle ownership tax is paid annually when a vehicle is registered. All local governments
11 that collect a property tax receive part of the vehicle ownership tax. The vehicle ownership
12 tax declines as a vehicle ages . The tax cut for each vehicle tax begins in 2001.
13 Impact of proposal on taxpayers and governments. Table 1 shows the estimated
14 impact of the tax cuts in the proposal on Colorado's taxpayers and governments.

21 The estimated tax savings for four different households are shown in Table 2. The
22 actual tax reductions for any househol d will depend on several factors. Some of these
23 factors are the number and age of vehicles owned , actual utility expenses, the local sales tax
24 rates, the number of property tax districts and their mill levies, and whether a taxpayer owns
25 property and pays inc ome taxes. The tax savings in Table 2 do not take into account
26 increases in federal income taxes for taxpayers who deduct their property, income , and
27 vehicle ownership taxe s .

13 State replacement of local revenue. The proposal provides that state replacement
14 of local revenue cannot reduce taxpayer refunds and that the state may limit local actions
15 that increase state replacement costs. However, the proposal does not specifically direct the
16 state to provide money to offset local government tax cuts.
17 Arguments For
18 1) State and local taxes are too high and should be reduced. Compared with other
19 states, Colorado's local sales taxes per person are the 3rd highest and total local taxes are
20 the 9th highest, while state income taxes are the 15th highest. State tax revenue is four
21 times greater than 20 years ago, compared to inflation and population growth that is only
22 2.8 times higher. Individual income tax revenue is seven times higher than 20 years ago.
23 This proposal saves the average family more than $450 in 2002, and higher amounts in
24 following years. As a result, Coloradans will have more money to spend or save as they
25 choose.
26 2) State and local revenue will exceed $25 billion in 2001 and will increase by more
2 7 than $1 .5 billion each year. The $25 annual increase in the tax cuts will never completely
28 eliminate all vehicle, income, or property tax revenue. Most income tax bills increase by
29 more than $25 each year. Taxes on utilities, which are basic needs that should not be taxed,
30 will end for most taxpayers . The tax cuts will cause government to eliminate unnecessary
31 spending. Voters can still approve a tax increase if they believe that government truly needs
32 more money.
33 3) This proposal provides the same dollar amount of tax relief to all families, thus
34 giving a larger percentage relief to low and middle-income families. The tax cuts are easy
35 for citizens to understand and should be simple to administer. The tax cuts benefit everyone
36 who pays a utility, vehicle, income, or property tax bill.
-3-
1 4) The tax cuts in this proposal could help the state 's business climate because
2 Colorado's taxes will be more competitive with taxes in other states. Much of the money
3 saved by taxpayers w ill be spent, leading to increased retail sales, jobs, and business
4 investment within the state .
5 Arguments Against
6 1) Less money will be available for the vital government services upon which
7 Colorado's citizens rely . Local government taxes will be cut by nearly $4 .0 billion during
8 the first five years, reducing or eliminating tax revenues for services such as fire protection,
9 law enforcement, and roads . State revenues will be cut by $2 .0 billion during the same
10 period, reducing money available for highway s, prisons , education, and other state
11 / programs. If the state replaces the local tax cuts , state services will be reduced below
12 current levels in four ye ars . In addition, all taxpayers statewide will pay for local services,
13 such as recreation and library districts , that benefit just a few . State replacement of local
14 taxes could also result in more state control over local issues .
15 2) Colorado 's constitution already limits the amount of taxes and fees that
16 governments can spend. In the past three years, governments have refunded more than a
17 billion dollars to Coloradans because of the constitutional limit. Additionally, the state
18 recently enacted permanent tax cuts sa ving taxpayers more than $475 million per year.
19 Coloradans alread y spend a smaller part o f their income for taxes than most others. In fact,
20 Colorado 's state and loc a l taxes are the 1 orh lowest in the country .
21 3) Although e ve ry one pays sale s ta xes, the tax cuts for sales taxes on food and
22 nonalcoholic bev erages appl y only to tho se who pay property or income taxes. This tax cut
23 excludes approximate ly 35 percent of th e state 's households that do not own property and
24 24 percent of individuals who do not pay income taxes.
25 4) This proposal could hurt Colorado's business climate and impair its long-term
26 economic growth . Res earch studies sho w that taxes are not the most important factor in
27 business location decisions . Other important factors such as a well-educated work force,
28 access to transportation , and solid infras tructure will be diminished by these tax cuts.

STAFF SOURCE
Stewart H. Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
At the September 19, 2000 meeting the Englwood Water and Sewer Board recommended
Council approval, by motion, of the Agreement for Engineering Services for the North
Reservoir Drain Modifications.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The North Reservoir is an 80 million-gallon raw water storage reservoir connected to the Allen
Filter Plant. When the North Reservoir is drained, some stored waste solid residuals may be
discharged to Big Dry Creek, which violates National Pollutants Discharge Elimination Permit
Standards (NPDES). It is proposed that lntegra Engineering be retained for a new hydraulic
structure to be constructed at the existing outlet pipe discharge headwall to capture waste
solid residuals released from the North Reservoir. The structure would be constructed
adjacent to Big Dry Creek and west of South Windermere Street.
A manual gate would allow water drained from the reservoir to either be diverted to Big Dry
Creek or to the existing pumping station at the Allen Plant. In turn, the existing pump station
would transfer the waste solid residuals to the existing 13 million-gallon wastewater storage
reservoir at the treatment plant site.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The lntegra Engineering Agreement is for estimated engineering costs of $19,784.00 for
design services and $7,568.00 for construction phase services. Total engineering costs shall
not exceed $27,352.00 without prior written consent. In the 2000 Utilities Budget, funds are
available under #09-03-31411.

North Reservoir Drain Modifications
Agreement for Engineering Services
In response to your request, we have prepared a scope of work and cost proposal to design
modifications for the North Reservoir at the Englewood Water Treatment Plant. This letter
presents a detailed description of the engineering services we propose , and an itemized cost
breakdown. For convenience, our proposal is formatted as a Letter Agreement that can be signed
to serve as a contract.
Project Description
The Allen Filter Plant operates the North Reservo ir, an 80 million gallon raw water storage
reservoir. The North Reservoir has an 18-inch diameter overflow and 27 to 30-inch diameter
gravity drain that discharge to Big Dry Creek. The North Reservoir has been used to store waste
solid residuals and recycle backwash water. When the North Reservoir is drained, some of the
stored waste solid residuals may be inadvertently discharged to Big Dry Creek.
The City of Englewood plans to modify the reservoir drain system to capture waste solid
residuals released from the North Reservoir. A new hydraulic structure will be constructed at the
existing outlet pipe discharge headwall adjacent to Big Dry Creek west of South Windemere
Street. A manual gate installed on the new hydraulic structure will allow water drained from the
reservoir to either discharge to Big Dry Creek or be diverted to the existing in-plant wastewater
pumping station . The existing wastewater pumping station will transfer the waste solid residuals
to the existing 13 million gallon wastewater storage reservoir at the treatment plant site.
Scope of Engineering Services
Integra Engineering shall plan and design modifications to
hydraulic structures on the existing North Reservoir drain.
comprise and are limited to those specifically set forth below.
