a project due to d�erzng or unforeseen site conditions, errors, or omissions in the plans and ti <br />specifications, changes instituted by regulafory agencies, or changes in material quantities beyond • <br />contract limits ". Unforeseen site conditions, design modifications, and additional work not <br />programmed in the original cost estimate of the project, has required work that increases the total <br />estimated cost of the project and therefore justifies Cedar Mesa Ditch and Reservoir Company's <br />requested $50,000 increased loan request. <br />FINANCIAL/COLLATERAL <br />The amended loan amount for the Cedaz Mesa Ditch and Reservoir Company will be <br />$150,000, at an interest rate of 2.75 % for 30-years. Their new annual payment will be $7,407.66. <br />The Companys current loan of $100,000 has an annual payment of $4,938.44. The Company's <br />current annual assessment of $25 per shaze will need to be increased to $40 per shaze to cover the <br />increased debt. <br />As security for the loan the Cedaz Mesa Ditch and Reservoir Company will pledge revenues <br />backed by assessment covenant and the project itself. The Cedaz Mesa Ditch and Reservoir <br />Company owns Cedaz Mesa Reservoir. The reservoir lies on Forest Service property with use <br />granted under the 1891 Department of Interior Act. This security is in compliance with Colorado <br />Water Conservation Board Policy No.S (Collateral). <br />CONCLUSION: <br />Based on our review of the original feasibility cost projections, the supporting � <br />documentation pmvided by the Cedaz Mesa Ditch and Reservoir Company of addirional cost <br />occurred to-date, inspection of the site, and overall financial strength o£ the Company, staff finds the <br />requested loan increase of $50,000 to be economically, financially, and technically sound. <br />STAFF RECOMI��NDATIONS: <br />Staff recommends that the Boazd approve an increase of $50,000 from the Construction <br />Fund for the Cedar Mesa Reservoir Project for the Cedar Mesa Ditch and Reservoir Company. The <br />additional $50,000 increment of funding would be for 30-yeazs at a lending rate of 2.75%: The total <br />funding levei for this project would amount to $150,000, or 76% of the total project costs. As <br />coilaterai ior ihe ioan, the �edaz ivlesa Ditcn and Reservoir �ompany piedges assessmeni revenues <br />backed by an assessment covenant and the project itself. <br />Staff fufther recommends that the following conditions be met prior to entering into a <br />contract for the additional loan increment of funding: <br />1.
