Financial Summary <br /> <br />Project Cost $600,000 <br />Loan Amount $540,000 <br />Revenues from Assessments $1,035,605 <br />CWCB Loan Payment Amount, including $28,380 <br />10% loan reserve <br /> <br />Credit worthiness <br /> <br />The District currently has one loan with the CWCB, which is the only indebtedness we <br />have. The unpaid amount ofthat loan is $392,627.22 and payments are $27,169 until <br />2027. The District is financially strong, mainly as a result of the sale of some land in <br />2003, for which we received $800,000. That money has been used sparingly and is <br />currently with Capital Investments, as are other funds that were formerly in Certificates <br />of Deposit and which have matured over the past two years. In fiscal year 2004, the <br />District had total revenues of$1,470,682 and total expenditures of$1,015,011. <br /> <br />In the past 4 years, the District has replaced two siphons on the system and paid cash for <br />those projects. The Big Wash Siphon on Canal #2 failed in 2002 and was replaced at a <br />cost of$761,000 and the Big Wash Siphon on Canal #1 was in immediate danger of <br />failure and has been replaced this year at a cost of $560,000. <br /> <br />Alternative Financing Considerations <br /> <br />The District has investigated alternative financing sources in the form of grants, matching <br />grants or partnerships. Discussions were held with the following, with no positive <br />results: <br /> <br />Xcel Energy <br />Grand Valley Water Users Association <br />U.S. Bureau of Reclamation <br />Colorado River Water Conservation District <br />Colorado Department of Transportation <br /> <br />Collateral <br /> <br />As security for the CWCB loan, the District can pledge revenues from assessments. The <br />assessments are collected as taxes on the property tax bills by Mesa County. The District <br />is not required to issue bills to our landowners and, if payment is not made, the county <br />has recourse to seize property for lack of tax payment. Should that occur, the land would <br />more than likely be turned over to the District, as has been done in the past. <br /> <br />Orchard Mesa Irrigation District Feasibility Study <br />Stokes Gulch Siphon <br /> <br />Page 12 <br />
