Anderson Re: Agreement for Distribution of Recreation District Funds Dear Mayor An8erson: Mr. Roy Bergman, Director of Administrative Services, has previously presented to the Board of County COlTh"issioners at one of its regular meetings, two claim vouchers, o~e beLng ,dated February 17, 1971, from Eldon E. Kunz in the amount of $5,889.00 and the other claim voucher being dated J~~u~~y 20, 1971, from Denver Commercial Builders, Inc. in the amount of $5,998.00. Xerox copies of those claim vouchers are attached hereto. It was Mr. Bergman's understanding that these claim vouchers represent work performed by the claimallts for the Wheat Ridge Recreation District. As you are <Jware, t~at Dis- trict was formed some time ago pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes 114, Article 2 thereof. Upon the incorporation of the City of 'i\Theat Ridge, thLlt District was required to dissolve because the Statute creating sucll District provides that such District shall be composed only oi an area that is unincor- porated within the County. Unfortunately, that Statute no- where provides for a method of dissolution as simi~arly appears .in any district formed pursuLlnt to Chapter 89 of ColorLldo Revised Statutes. As a result of such Statutory absence, the District has wound up its affairs and effectively dissolved much in the manner of the dissolution of a partnership. Because of that dissolution process, the Board of County Commissioners did not, of course, levy any mill levy for such 'l I'! " t -" I _" ...~_ .~,. ._d........---.. PeS ""'/Ie;) ~) C:.. ty of \'Illeilt Ridge P,.'JC 2 March 11, 1971 .District for the yeur J970 nor for the year 1971. Monies previously collected through prior mill levies have been dis- ,bursed during the year 1970 for obligations committed prior to the dissolution process. Mr. Bergman has informed me that the sum of $15,769.54 still remalns on deposit with the Office 'of the Treasurer of Jefferson County, such monies having been .collected from prior tax levies for that District. Because the City of Wheat Ridge has been incorporated for some period of time, the balance on deposit in the Office of the Treasurer was not budgeted or appropriated by the Board of County Com- .missioners for expenditure durlng the year 1971. The Colorado Statutes prohibit expenditures of any monies during any budget 'year when such monies have not been previously budgeted and subsequently appropriated for expenditure. The at,:ched claim vouchers have now been drawn to oc:r attention, and Mr. Fel~x Lepore, a former Director of the Wheat Ridge Recreation District, has informed me that such claims should rightfully be paid, they being valid c16ims for work performed. It is, therefore, my opinion that these monies should be transferred from the Treasurer's Office to the City of Wheat Ridge for payment by such City to the cliJima:--,cs. I understand that the City has Statutory authority to make sup- plemental appropriatlons for expenditure of sums not previously budgeted or appropriated. The purpose of this letter lS to reduce to writing the unrlerslanr1ing between all concerned entities of the proper disbursement of those remaining monies. After the attached clalms have been paid, a balance will re- main in the amount of $3,882.54. It is the agreement of all parties joining in approval hereof that such remaining funds will be used to pay any of the claims still outstanding which have not yet been presented by v~liJ creditors. Any subse- quent funds thereafter remilining shall be disbursed during .the year 19;1 solely for park purposes within the area form- erly encompassed by the bounc1arles of the pre-existing Wheat Ridge Recreation District. This disbursement will then ensure 'to the former taxpayers of such District that their tax monies previously collected from them are being spent for the purposes ve-="t ~ R- (/ () (' <t ) , City of h11eiJ t RidCJc Page 3 March E, 1971 (' for which they were collected.
