Brad L. Hagen, President of the Board of Directors, is duly authorized to execute the <br />contract and to bind the St. Vrain Sanitation District. <br />2. The resolutions of the District's Board of Directors authorize the execution and <br />delivery of the contract and were duly adopted by the District's Board of Directors. <br />3. There are no provisions in the District's Service Plan or Bylaws, or any state or local <br />law, that prevents this contract from binding the St. Vrain Sanitation District. <br />4. The contract will be valid and binding against the St. Vrain Sanitation District if <br />entered into by January 1, 2008. <br /> <br />It is further my opinion that pursuant to the Service Plan and the Bylaws of the District, as amended <br />from time to time, the District's Board of Directors has been empowered to approve and enter into <br />the contract without obtaining further consent or approval by the voters. <br /> <br />Please feel free to contact me if you need anything further in relation to this contract. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br />NS GADDIS & KAHN, PC <br /> <br /> <br />~~~ <br /> <br />Richard N.
