FROM: Mary Jo Dougherty, McGeady Sisneros, P.C.
RE: Breakdown of Operation and Maintenance Expenses for Rose Ranch Metropolitan
District
DATE: March 17, 2000
You asked for a breakdown of Operation and Maintenance Expenses for the District. We reviewed
budgets of comparable developments within Garfield and Eagle County and spoke with the engineers
for the proposed district to come up with the following information:
Irrigation repair and maintenance: $ 1,200
Landscaping 9,000
Streets 13,200
Snow Removal 10,000
Insurance 2,000
Legal 15,000
Accounting/Audit 10,000
Management 15,000
Operation and Maintenance Reserve 14,600
$ 90,000
In the event that the operation and maintenance expenses exceed $90,000 or the District undertakes
additional operation and maintenance responsibilities the District will have the authority, pursuant
to state statute, to increase the mill levy (subject to the mill levy limitation as set forth in the Service
Plan) to cover such costs. Further, since the facilities and improvements will be newly constructed
they will be subject to construction warranties and the District will not be required to make major
repairs for several years.
