INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Wheat Ridge 2020, Inc. dba Localworks
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Wheat Ridge 2020, Inc. dba Localworks (a
nonprofit organization) which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and
the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the
financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Wheat Ridge 2020, Inc. dba Localworks as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in its net
assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and
relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and
certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

neighborhood comradery through block parties and gratitude demonstrations. The campaign

Localworks Home Loans
The home loans are administered by Local works. The purpose of the program is to update the
appearance, safety, energy efficiency of residential properties, and to make interior
improvements in order to improve the overall residential environment within targeted
neighborhoods.
The long-term goal of the Home Loan program is to create an environment that will continue to
attract new investors and residents to the community.
The Home Loan program offers loans in a service and target area. The loans are for up to 80%
of the cost of home renovations with loan amounts ranging from $5,000 to $30,000. The loans
offered will have no-interest for the first year and 4% interest for years two through ten; they
are 10-year notes with a 20-year amortization schedule. Eligible project costs include exterior
facade improvements, landscaping, interior renovations, energy improvements, and structural,
mechanical, and electrical repairs. All projects must include exterior improvements visible
from the street.
Localworks Business Loans
The purpose of the Business Loan Program is to provide a local incentive to reinvest or
establish new businesses in the community.
Eligible properties must be in the program's current priority area within the City. The loans are
for up to 80% of the cost of business renovations with loan amounts ranging from $10,000 to
$50,000. The loans offered have no-interest for the first year and 4% interest for years two

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2016 and 2015
A program aimed at encouraging neighborhood camaraderie and a reward for working hard
to clean up their neighborhood, is the Neighborhood Block Party Grant Program. The
neighborhood is granted monies to bring the people on the block together to have a
barbeque, play games, meet their neighbors, and learn about the programs and services that
Localworks has to offer.
The East Wheat Ridge Program has been a partnership with the Wheat Ridge Police
Department and after much success has been expanded to become TLC Wheat Ridge.
Together we have worked to reduce crime and improve the attractiveness of property in the
area between the targeted neighborhoods of East Wheat Ridge, Clearvale and Clear Creek
Station. Neighborhood meetings and improvements are coordinated to help facilitate
progress. The most visible aspect of the program is Clean Up Day when over a dozen 30-
yard dumpsters are delivered to each neighborhood to aide in cleaning up junk.
The Ranch Design Manual is a publication available through Localworks that helps
homeowners dream and visualize new ways of thinking about their home. Over 80% of the
single family homes in Wheat Ridge are ranch homes. This manual showcases layouts and
remodeling ideas for ranch homes of all kinds and sizes.
There is also a Landscape Design Manual that helps residents understand how to phase
landscaping and what plant materials do well in Wheat Ridge.
Residential and commercial real property redevelopment programs
Localworks has participated in the redevelopment of residential and commercial properties
within the City and similar programs to support redevelopment. Localworks did not actively
participate in redevelopment or similar programs during the years ended June 30, 2016 and
2015.
Wheat Ridge Business District (WRBD) entered into an agency agreement in which Localworks
agrees to provide staff, resources, and management to promote the programs offered through the
WRBD. WRBD's programs include grant programs for fa~ade, sign, accessibility, landscape, and
design assistance to help businesses located in the City of Wheat Ridge. Localworks receives a
portion of WRBD's grant revenue and interest income.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The significant accounting policies followed
are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements to the reader.
Basis of presentation
Localworks reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three
classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently
restricted net assets.
8
Cash and cash equivalents
Wheat Ridge 2020, Inc. dba Localworks
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2016 and 2015
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, Localworks considers all highly liquid investments
available for current use with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents do not include restricted cash, or cash temporarily or permanently
restricted for long term purposes. From time-to-time, Localworks has cash-in-bank in excess of
federally secured limits. Localworks has not experienced any losses in such accounts and
believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Functional allocation of expenses
The costs of providing the various programs and other activities have been summarized on a
functional basis in the Statements of Activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated
among the programs and supporting services benefited based on specific identification. Other
indirect costs have been allocated based on the relationship to certain direct costs.
Income taxes
Localworks was organized pursuant to the Colorado Nonprofit Corporation Act in 2005.
Localworks is a membership organization operated under the Colorado Statutes for Not for Profit
Organizations (Title 7, Article 21). Localworks is exempt from income taxes under Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Income from certain activities not directly related to the
tax-exempt purpose of Local works, could be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. As
of June 30, 2016, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements. The Company's tax returns from the prior three years are
subject to review by the appropriate taxing authorities.
Interest on property improvement loans
Localworks accounts for loans of cash pursuant to the Home and Business Loan programs that are
interest free and/or have below-market interest rates by reporting interest income and program
expense.
Property improvement loans receivable
Loans receivable are stated at their principal amount outstanding less the related allowance for
doubtful accounts. Interest income on loans is accrued and credited to income based on the
principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest income is discontinued when, in
management's judgment, the scheduled interest may not be collectible within the stated term of the
loan. Interest income is recognized on a cash basis for loans classified as nonaccrual loans, with
subsequent payments applied first to interest and fees, if any, and then to principal. Loans
classified as nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest
amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on Localworks' past
loan loss experience, specific impaired loans, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's
ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.
Loans are considered impaired if full principal or interest payments are not anticipated in
accordance with the contractual terms. Localworks' practice is to charge off any loan or portion of
a loan when the loan is determined by management to be uncollectible due to the borrower's
failure to meet repayment terms, the borrower's deteriorating or deteriorated financial condition,
the depreciation of the underlying collateral, or for other reasons.

Wheat Ridge 2020, Inc. dba Localworks
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2016 and 2015
The property acquired as a result of Localworks's residential redevelopment program is carried at
cost, which is the sum of the initial purchase cost plus capitalized costs associated with improving
the properties. Localworks evaluates the carrying value of the properties acquired for the
residential redevelopment program annually. The fair value of the properties is determined
primarily using comparisons to similar properties and the advice of real estate professionals. If
the carrying amount of the properties exceeds their fair value, then the amount of the impairment
loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair
value of the properties less selling costs to their carrying amount. An impairment loss is
recognized when the carrying amount of the properties exceeds its implied fair value.
Local works' s evaluation of the properties acquired for residential redevelopment program for the
years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 did not result in the recording of any impairment losses.
Assets capitalized as property and equipment are recorded at cost, or if donated, at market value
on the date of donation. Localworks capitalizes assets with a cost basis of $500 or greater.
Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the following estimated useful
lives:
Receivables
Buildings and improvements
Computers and software
Office furniture and equipment
15-39 years
3 years
3-7 years
Receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances.
Based on management's assessment of the credit history with those with outstanding balances and
current relationships with them, it has concluded that realization of losses on balances outstanding
at year end will be immaterial. There were no receivables that were 90 days or more past due at
June 30, 2016 or 2015.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative
purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year financial statements. Such
reclassifications had no effect on previously reported change in net assets.
Revenues and support
Revenue is recognized when earned, and support when contributions are made, which may be
when cash is received, unconditional promises are made, or ownership of donated assets is
transferred to Localworks.
Local works reports receipts of revenues and support as restricted support if they are received with
donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated amounts. When a stipulated time restriction
ends or purpose restriction is satisfied, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to
unrestricted net assets and reported in the Statements of Activities as satisfaction of purpose
restrictions. Receipts of revenues and support are reported as increases in temporarily restricted
net assets if the restrictions expire in the reporting period in which the revenues and support is
recognized.
10
Wheat Ridge 2020, Inc. dba Localworks
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2016 and 2015
A substantial number of volunteers have donated services to Localworks' program services during
the year; however, these donated services are not reflected in the financial statements since they
did not require specialized skills.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates in these financial statements include the allocation of expenses on a
functional basis, fair value estimates in determining impairment, and estimated useful lives of
long-lived assets.

Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Patrick Goff, City Manager FROM: Scott Brink, Public Works Director
DATE: February 23, 2017 (For March 6, 2017 Study Session) SUBJECT: Staff Report: I-70/Kipling Interchange Status
ISSUE The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is currently moving forward with the
Environmental Assessment (EA) phase for the eventual reconstruction of the I-70/Kipling Interchange. At this time, no funding has been attained for construction of the project, and therefore no construction schedule has yet been developed. However, CDOT with the assistance of its consultant, David Evans and Associates (DEA), is moving forward with the development of a preferred alternative as part of completing the EA. As part of this process, the CDOT team
has scheduled an informational public meeting for Thursday, March 23 at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center. For the March 6 Study Session, a representative of CDOT and/or DEA will be present to provide an update on the EA process and go over the preferred alternative and other information that will be provided to the public on March 23. BACKGROUND CDOT completed a Planning and Environmental Linkage (PEL) in 2013, similar to the process the City utilized for the Wadsworth Boulevard Improvement Project. At the conclusion of the PEL, after the vetting of several design alternatives, two preferred alternatives were chosen to move forward: A Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI), and a Traditional Diamond
(Diamond). Conceptual layouts of these two designs are provided per Attachments A and B. A third alternative, referred to as a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) has since been added to the EA process for evaluation along with the SPUI and the Diamond alternatives. A relatively newer type of design, DDIs have been increasing in construction and use in recent years both
nationally and here in Colorado. Since completion of the PEL nearly four years ago, the DDI has received increased attention as a viable alternative. An example is the recently opened DDI at U.S. Highway 6 and McCaslin Boulevard (Superior/Louisville) which has received very positive feedback and results, both in terms of traffic operations and safety. Traffic counts and projections for the I-70/Kipling area have also been updated since 2013.
In evaluating the three alternatives further, CDOT and their consultant utilized a table or matrix that evaluated each alternative against various categories, including traffic operations, safety, multi-modal accommodations, environmental and property impacts, and constructability (See attached Exhibit 1). After completing this evaluation and comparing the alternatives further, the
2
DDI (Attachment C) has emerged as the preferred alternative at this time. CDOT project staff
will provide further explanation and answer any questions regarding the alternatives evaluation and the project in general on March 6. FINANCIAL IMPACT For the current process to date, there have been no direct financial impacts to the City. Once
funds are secured for an actual project, there will be impacts mainly to adjacent properties that will need to be acquired for right-of-way purposes. However, reconstruction of this interchange has been supported by the City for several years, not only for mitigating traffic congestion and enhancing safety, but for also serving as a catalyst for redevelopment opportunities along the
Kipling St. corridor. The attached concept drawings provide a general overview of how a new
interchange would impact properties and access locations. Further details and impacts to properties would be quantified upon further detailed construction design in the next project phase.
SCHEDULE/NEXT STEPS Following is an anticipated schedule for completing the EA process:
• Public Meeting #1: March 23, 2017
• Technical Team Meeting #3: Spring 2017
• Environmental Analysis: Spring – Summer 2017
• Public Meeting #2: Summer 2017
• Preliminary Design: Spring – Fall 2017
• Public Meeting: Fall 2017/Winter 2018 (after EA is published)
• Decision document expected January 2018.
As part of more immediate available mitigation measures, CDOT is nearing completion of an
additional Eastbound I-70 lane extending from the Kipling on-ramp. Short-term improvements at the westbound off-ramp will also be investigated after a preferred alternative is finalized.

Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kenneth Johnstone, Community Development Director
THROUGH: Patrick Goff, City Manager DATE: February 24, 2017 (for March 6th study session)
SUBJECT: Freestanding Emergency Rooms
BACKGROUND: On April 11, 2016, City Council adopted Ordinance 1595 placing a 365-day temporary moratorium on the submission, acceptance, processing and approval of applications for
“freestanding emergency rooms.” As defined in Section 3 of the ordinance, such facilities were
defined as follows: “a medical facility that is not physically attached to a hospital facility that has the capacity of providing medical care and services to patients with emergency medical conditions in a manner similar to emergency rooms located within hospitals. Features of a freestanding emergency room facility may include, but are not limited to expanded hours of
operation, drive-lanes or vehicle bays to accommodate ambulance arrivals and departures, board
certified emergency physicians, board-certified emergency nurses, on-site lab and imaging capabilities and similar equipment, services and treatments not commonly available in urgent care facilities.”
The ordinance was effective on April 28, 2016 and expires on April 27, 2017. The ordinance also
directed staff to investigate and prepare proposed regulations. In the intervening time, staff has been monitoring the topic at a policy level and has been aware of the potential for the state to address the topic through statutory amendments which may have pre-empted the need for additional local regulations or alter the manner in which local regulations would be crafted.
Statutory language was drafted during the early part of 2017 and was introduced very recently
during the legislative session; however, said legislation failed to advance out of committee and does not appear to be moving forward during the 2017 legislative session. Existing Regulations
The concept of freestanding emergency rooms is relatively new and has only emerged in the
state of Colorado in the past few years. It has existed in some other states for somewhat longer. Because it is a new land use concept, the municipal code is silent to this specific use. The City’s zoning code defines hospitals and allows them in certain zoning districts. The City’s zoning code also defines medical offices and allows those in certain zone districts. These freestanding
emergency rooms have characteristics of both of these uses and likely fall somewhere between
the two in terms of the intensity of the use and associated impacts.
2
With the code being silent to this specific use, the Community Development Director has
determined that the use is most similar to a hospital emergency room and therefore allowed to be located in the same manner. Hospitals are not permitted in any of the City’s “straight” zoning districts, based on those use charts being silent to hospitals as a use group. However, hospitals are allowed in the City’s Planned Hospital Districts (PHD) upon approval of a rezoning of a property to that district. Currently only the Exempla Lutheran hospital campus is zoned PHD. In
the City’s Mixed Use Districts, hospitals are included in those use charts and are allowed in all of the Mixed Use Commercial (MU-C) Districts and not allowed in the Mixed Use Neighborhood District.
Potential Code Amendments
Absent any adopted or pending state regulations, it is now appropriate to consider whether any additional local regulations should be considered for adoption. That said, there is not adequate time between now and the current expiration date of the temporary moratorium (April 27, 2017) to give proper consideration to new local regulations on these facilities. Local regulations could
include:
• Modifications to Chapter 26 (Zoning and Development Code) defining freestanding emergency rooms and allowing them to be located in specific zoning districts. Some of the zoning approaches that might be considered would include:
o Limiting the number of zoning districts within which they would be allowed
o Requiring a special use permit or conditional use permit to authorize these uses o Limiting the total number of such facilities within the City o Establishing certain spacing requirements between such uses and/or between such uses and other existing emergency room facilities
o Establishing other operational requirements such as hours of operation
• Modifications to Chapter 11 (Licensing) creating unique licensing and permitting requirements for freestanding emergency rooms. Certain operational requirements could also be located in this chapter, including the possibility of allowing such licenses only
upon a demonstration of “need,” relative to the location and spacing of other similar medical facilities. Next Steps As noted previously, new local regulations regarding freestanding emergency rooms have not yet
been drafted and various options exist for City Council to consider. Absent any state regulations, local jurisdictions are now able to pursue their own course of action on this matter. With the pending expiration of the moratorium occurring in approximately 6 weeks, City Council has two principle options:
Option 1: Allow the temporary moratorium to lapse and do nothing further. In this option, we would default to the existing regulatory environment as previously summarized, generally allowing freestanding emergency rooms in areas zoned PHD or MU-C. Option 2: Consider an ordinance extending the moratorium to allow time for additional
regulations to be drafted and considered as an ordinance. It should be noted that amendments to
Chapter 26 would also require review and recommendation by the Planning Commission. Staff would recommend a six-month moratorium. Staff would also request preliminary direction as to

the manner in which additional regulations should be crafted. An additional substantive study
session would then be scheduled to discuss draft regulations and the PC would be engaged in the drafting and review processes.
