    Carter Lake Filter Plant (CLFP): The March 13, 2019 Carter Lake Filter Plant Board Meeting was cancelled. Director Bukowski will contact CLFP Manager Whittet to request the rescheduled date.

    District Manager Cook noted there was a discussion item for the Board of Directors on the CLFP Board Packet regarding the financial capital budget.

    Presentation on the Feasibility Study for the Enlargement of the Dry Creek Dam: Mr. Nelson, PE gave a presentation regarding the findings of the study. The study was completed to determine water storage solutions. The following items were discussed:

    • Three conceptual alternatives.• Permitting requirements.• Estimated cost.• Evaluation of alternatives.• Possible risks.• Recommendations.

    District Manager Cook suggested the next steps would be to make a few edits then send to Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD) for review.

    Amendment to the Joint Facilities Ownership and Operating Agreements to Include a New 7M.G. Tank: Addendum 6 outlining the addition of the proposed 7M.G. tank at CLFP was discussed. The addendum had previously been reviewed by District Counsel Westbrook. It was moved by Director Martens, seconded by Director Brandenburg, to approve Addendum 6 to the Joint Facilities Ownership and Operating Agreement. Motion carried unanimously.

    Consideration of Participation in the Formation of the St. Vrain Water Authority: A draft of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) for the formation of the St. Vrain Water Authority was discussed. Topics included:

    • Expected cost of participation in the formation of the authority.• Expected cost of future participation in the treatment capacity of the authority.• The number of board seats LTWD will receive.• The District’s need to participate in a water authority project in the area.• Construction is expected to start in two years.• Suggested edits to some of the wording in the IGA.

    6

  • It was moved by Director Martens, seconded by Director Brandt, to allow District Manager Cook to move forward with the Town of Firestone on the contract. Motion carried unanimously.

    Public Hearing: Action Item: Motion to Approve Resolution No. 2019-4, Inclusion: It was moved by Director Brandt, seconded by Director McMurtrey, to approve Resolution 2019-4, Inclusion (Philip H. McKee and Kimberly S. McKee, and Loveland Fire Rescue Authority). Motion carried unanimously.

    District Manager Search Committee Update: Director McMurtrey advised the Board she and Director Brandt have made progress reviewing the candidate applications for the District Manager position. They do not believe it will be necessary to pursue additional means of locating qualified candidates, nor do they believe it will be necessary to extend the job posting ads. The Search Committee ranked the candidates based on a point scale of desired qualifications.

    Rules of Public Notice for publishing the names of finalists were discussed.

    Proposed Amended and Restated Windy Gap Firming Project Agreement with Brookfield: The Windy Gap Firming Project Agreement with Brookfield has been updated to include the expected current cost and schedule for construction of the project. Mr. Westbrook is currently reviewing the proposed establishment document. The following points were discussed:

    • Amendment of contract to reflect the new costs and financial details.• Formatting edits to the agreement were suggested.

    It was moved by Director Brandenburg, seconded by Director McMurtrey, to allow District Manager Cook to make the suggested edits and move forward with the amendment following district counsel review. Motion carried unanimously.

    Proposal for LTWD to Manage the Design of the 24” Line from WCR 38 to Barefoot Lakes: A proposed agreement with Brookfield for design of the required 24" line from WCR 38 to Barefoot Lakes was discussed. District staff believes it will be more efficient for the project to be managed internally. An engineer will be sought, through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process, to design the water line. The District will also coordinate with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) on the alignment and several easements. The final design will be requested in a format ready to submit for construction bidding. Brookfield Residential, developers of Barefoot Lakes, will be responsible for all of the expenses incurred including District staff time spent on the project.

    Mr. Westbrook has reviewed the proposed document and requested the document be titled Addendum Letter rather than Agreement. Other minor edits were suggested by the Board.

    It was moved by Director Bukowski, seconded by Director Brandt, to allow District Manager Cook to enter into the agreement after the suggested edits. Motion carried unanimously.

    Consideration of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Hwy 402 and I-25 for an Interconnect for Johnstown: The relocation of the District’s waterline at the intersection of Highway 402 and I-25 requires the waterline to be installed along a property owned by J-25 Land Holdings, LLC. CDOT proposed the waterline cross a roundabout. The District believes it would be difficult to manage traffic in the event of a waterline break. The District suggested the waterline be extended across a property owned by J-25 and annexed by the Town of Johnstown. The District already owns an easement along the eastern edge of this property but does not have a waterline or other infrastructure in this easement. The District made an offer to the development group to vacate the existing easement while encumbering a smaller easement on the property. The developer has agreed to this arrangement if we also provide an opportunity for an emergency interconnect with

    7

  • Johnstown; relieving the developer of constructing an additional waterline for Johnstown. The interconnect would benefit the developer, Johnstown and the District by providing an emergency connection fully constructed and paid for by the developer. Currently, the MoU is between the developer and the District but will be followed up with an addendum to the IGA between the District and Johnstown. The approval of the MoU assists in CDOT’s relocation of the District’s waterline along Highway 402 in a timely fashion.

    It was moved by Director Martens, seconded by Director Bukowski, to approve the requested consideration for the developer. Motion carried unanimously.

  • Independent Auditor’s Report Board of Directors Little Thompson Water District Berthoud, Colorado We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Little Thompson Water District (the “District”) as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. 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 audits. We conducted our audits 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 the Little Thompson Water District as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the changes in its financial position and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

  • Other Matters

    Required Supplementary Information

    Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis on pages 3 through 8 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with evidence sufficient to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

    Other Information

    Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements. The Schedule of Revenues and Expenditures - Budget and Actual (Budgetary Basis) on pages 28 through 31 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.

    The Schedule of Revenues and Expenditures - Budget and Actual (Budgetary Basis) is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic 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 Schedule of Revenues and Expenditures - Budget and Actual (Budgetary Basis) is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

    Total revenue was less than budgeted by $373,943.

    Total expenditures, including capital expenses, were less than budgeted by $943,747.

    Additional explanations to follow: Distribution costs increased by $137,556; primarily due to increased system repairs and maintenance. Administration and general expense increased by $17,969 due to additional contract service costs. Engineering expenses increased by $47,603 due to more focus on water consulting and more mapping

    related expenses. Employee costs increased by $362,047 because of change in key positions and the additions of 3

    positions in the organization. Carter Lake Filter Plant and Dry Creek Reservoir joint operations increased by $171,946 because of

    an increase in water treatment and a rate increase. The District’s debt was $11,156,566 and $13,361,941 in 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease

    was due to the retirement of $2,205,375 of principal on this debt. Further debt information isavailable in the notes (see pages 23-26).

    Total capital expenditures were $976,033 less than budgeted and $6,312,458 less than in 2017 mainlydue to fewer capital projects and more water right purchases.

  • Little Thompson Water District Management’s Discussion and Analysis

    For the Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

    Major additions in 2018:

    We sold taps and PRPA water rights for a total of $9,211,600 in revenue. The District acquired by purchase 19 units of C-BT Water for $524,300 and 5 units of Windy Gap Water

    for $467,000. We sold a gas mineral right for $1,100,000. We received $157,675 for Tap Installation Revenue and we expended $105,243 on new service

    connections. The District shared in the cost of upgrades to Carter Lake North and South Filter Plants for a cost of

    $116,930. We spent $328,992 Vehicle replacements and Equipment purchases and we disposed of $105,493 in

    Vehicles and Equipment. We added $2,709,123 in distribution system upgrades through district capital projects as well as

    developer contributed capital projects and we added $1,854,390 in construction in progress.

    Contracts and Agreements

    The District is party to several contracts and cooperative agreements concerning the transfer and sale of water and providing emergency assistance as requested. The District has agreements with the cities of Loveland, Johnstown, Berthoud, and Greeley, and the Central Weld County, Fort Collins/Loveland, Long’s Peak, and North Carter Lake Water Districts.

    Economic and Other Factors

    Overall, retail water revenues increased in 2018 because of growth in the District and warmer summer resulting in more outdoor water usage. Our tap sales decreased slightly however they were more than budgeted. District management utilizes a forecasting program to develop rates and fees that will ensure the District remains a financially sound entity. There was a small amount of growth throughout the District and in Larimer, Weld, and Boulder counties in 2018. Operating expenses have increased because of a conscious decision to be proactive with more repairs and maintenance of our system. More operating expenses were allocated to system maintenance, general administration and employee costs.

    The annual rate and extent of future growth and development within the District will be materially affected by management, zoning and land use procedures and policies established by Larimer, Weld, and Boulder Counties. Each of these governmental entities control growth in the areas under their governments and the policies and procedures are outside the control or influence of the District.

    1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Form of Organization

    The Little Thompson Water District (the “District”) is organized under the provisions of Section 32-1-305 (6) of the Colorado Revised Statutes (“CRS”). It is a quasi-municipal corporation and a political subdivision of the State of Colorado with all powers thereof which includes the power to levy taxes against property within the District.

    The financial statements of the District have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial principles. The more significant of the District’s accounting policies are described below.

    Reporting Entity

    As defined by GAAP established by the GASB, the financial reporting entity consists of the primary government, as well as component units, which are legally separate organizations for which elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. Financial accountability is defined as:

    1) Appointment of a voting majority of the component unit’s board, and either, a) the ability to imposeits will by the primary government, or b) the possibility that the component unit will provide afinancial benefit to or impose a financial burden on the primary government; or

    2) Fiscal dependency on the primary government.

    Based on the above criteria, there are no other organizations that would be considered component units of the District.

    Basic Financial Statements

    The District is a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. As such, enterprise fund financial statements are presented.

    Basis of Accounting

    Proprietary funds, which include enterprise funds, are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus using the accrual basis of accounting. Therefore, all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources associated with the operation of this fund are included in the statement of net position. Revenues and expenses are recorded in the accounting period in which they are earned or incurred, and they become measurable. Net position is segregated into net investment in capital assets, restricted for debt service and loan reserves, and unrestricted net position. Proprietary fund-type operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues) and decrease (e.g., expenses) in total net position. Proprietary funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector, where the determination of net income is necessary or useful to sound financial administration.

    DRAF

    T

    42

  • Little Thompson Water District Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2018 and 2017

    Budgets and Budgetary Accounting

    An annual budget and appropriation resolution is adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) in accordance with state statutes. The budget is prepared on a basis consistent with GAAP except that capital asset additions and principal payments are budgeted as expenditures and debt proceeds are budgeted as revenues.

    The budget process timeline is as follows:

    1. On or about October 15, the District staff submits to the Board a proposed operating budget for thefiscal year commencing the following January 1. The operating budget includes proposedexpenditures and the means of financing them.

    2. Public hearings are conducted at regular Board meetings to obtain taxpayer comments.

    3. Prior to December 15, the budget is legally adopted by the Board.

    4. Unused appropriations lapse at the end of each year.

    The following is a summary of the original budget, total revisions, and revised budget for fiscal year 2018:

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    The District considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less which are available for operating expenditures to be cash equivalents. Short term investments, consisting of funds invested in a local government investment pool (Note 2) are considered to be cash equivalents and are measured at net asset value, which approximates fair value.

    Investments

    Investments, consisting of certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than three months are measured at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application.

    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

    The District’s receivables are due from commercial and residential customers within the District service area. The District’s policy for collections is limited to the right to discontinue service and to place liens on property. The District has determined that no allowance is necessary at December 31, 2018 or 2017, based on historical collection experience, and the ability to place liens on property.

  • Little Thompson Water District Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2018 and 2017

    Revenue Recognition

    Revenues are recognized when earned. Metered water accounts are read and billed three times a month on 30 day cycles. Unbilled water charges are accrued for the period from the last meter reading through year-end and are included in receivables. Unbilled accounts receivable, included in receivables, amounted to $135,263 and $152,436, at December 31, 2018 and 2017, in the accompanying statements of net position, respectively.

    Inventories

    Inventories, consisting primarily of operating supplies for water meter repair and installation, have been valued at cost, using the average cost method of accounting.

    Capital Assets

    Capital assets are defined by the District as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated capital assets are valued at their estimated fair value on the date donated. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the asset’s life are expensed. The District’s intangible assets are software which is being amortized over its estimated useful life as shown below.

    Depreciation of capital assets is charged as an expense against operations. Depreciation has been provided over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

    Joint Venture

    The District is a participant with Central Weld County Water District (“CWCWD”), in a joint venture to operate Carter Lake Filter Plant (the “Plant”), the filter plant from which the District and CWCWD purchase 100% of their water. The Plant is governed by a six-member board of directors composed of three appointees from the District and three from CWCWD. The District and CWCWD are each charged for their respective share of the water purchased from the Plant, and may be assessed for capital improvements made at the Plant on a periodic basis. Beginning in 2008, the District and CWCWD revised the joint venture agreement in order to change the way that major improvements to the Plant are funded. Major capital improvements to the Plant are no longer funded by the Plant, with assessments issued to each district; but rather, they are funded by the individual districts independently, and included in each of the district’s capital assets. As such, the depreciation expense for these assets has also been reflected in the financial statements of the District and CWCWD. The District’s net investment and its share of the operating results of the District are reported in the accompanying statements of net position, and revenues, expenses and changes in net position. The District’s equity interest in the Plant was $3,625,039 and $3,611,985 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Complete financial statements for the Plant may be obtained from the Plant’s administrative office at 7100 W. County Road 8-E, Berthoud, Colorado 80521.

    Debt Issuance Costs

    Debt issuance costs are recognized as an expense during the period of issuance.

    Debt Related Deferrals

    Premiums and discounts and losses on refunding are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. The net premiums and discounts are presented as an adjustment to the face amount of the debt. Deferred losses on refunding are reflected as a deferred outflow of resources in the accompanying statements of net position.

    Accrued Compensated Absences Payable

    Obligations associated with the District’s vacation policy are recorded as a liability and expense when earned to the extent that such benefits vest to the employee. The amount of the accrued and unpaid balance due under this policy is considered a long-term liability.

    Contributions in Aid of Construction

    Contributions of cash, transmission lines and water rights to the District by developers, customers or by agreements with others are treated as capital contributions on the District’s statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position.

    Net Position

    Net position is classified in the following categories:

    Net Investment in Capital Assets - This category groups all capital assets into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation of these assets and related debt balances reduce this category.

    Restricted Net Position – This category presents external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments and restriction imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

    DRAF

    T

    45

  • Little Thompson Water District Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2018 and 2017

    Unrestricted Net Position - This category represents the net position of the District which is not restricted for any project or other purpose. A deficit will require future funding.

    When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the District’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

    Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Reclassifications

    Certain amounts in the 2017 financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net position or change in net position.

    2. Cash and Investments

    Deposits

    Colorado state statutes govern the entity’s deposits of cash. For deposits in excess of federally insured limits, CRS require the depository institution to maintain collateral on deposit with an official custodian (as authorized by the State Banking Board). The Colorado Public Deposit Protection Act (“PDPA”) requires state regulators to certify eligible depositories for public deposit. PDPA requires the eligible depositories with public deposits in excess of the federal insurance levels to create a single institutional collateral pool of obligations of the State of Colorado or local Colorado governments and obligations secured by first lien mortgages on real property located in the State. The pool is to be maintained by another institution or held in trust for all uninsured public deposits as a group. The market value of the assets in the pool must be at least 102% of the uninsured deposits. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the District had deposits with a financial institution with a carrying amount of $3,668,019 and $5,908,904, respectively. The bank balances with the financial institution were $3,705,436 and $5,888,096, respectively. Of these amounts, $250,000 and $250,000 was covered by federal depository insurance. The remaining balances of $3,455,436 and $5,638,096, respectively, were collateralized with securities held by the financial institutions’ agents but not in the District’s name.

    At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the District had cash and cash equivalents balances as follows (includes restricted cash):

    2018 2017

    Cash on hand 400$ 400$ Bank deposits 3,668,019 5,908,904 Local government investment pool 2,979,157 1,825,788
