New Business and Special Orders

The District's Cyber Security Strategy - presented by Mr. Peter Manly, President, Akamai Systems Consulting, Inc.: 

Mr. Peter Manly, President of Akamai Systems Consulting, Inc. presented a summary of planned District wide information technology (IT) improvements, which are to be implemented in 2022, to protect critical systems and sensitive information from digital attacks. 

Mr. Manly explained cybersecurity is the application of technologies, processes, and controls to protect systems, networks, programs, devices, and data from cyber-attacks. He stated it aims to reduce the risk of cyber-attacks and protect against the unauthorized exploitation of systems, networks, and technologies. 

Mr. Manly detailed the premise behind each of the following fundamentals, which are the basis of his approach, to protect the District from cyber-attacks:

• Perform Asset Inventories 
• Assess Risks 
• Minimize Control System Exposure 
• Enforce User Access Controls 
• Safeguard from Unauthorized Physical Access 
• Install Independent Cyber-Physical Safety Systems 
• Embrace Vulnerability Management 
• Create a Cybersecurity Culture 
• Develop and Enforce Cybersecurity Policies and Procedures 
• Implement Threat Detection and Monitoring 
• Plan for Incidents, Emergencies, and Disasters 
• Tackle Insider Threats 
• Secure the Supply Chain 
• Address All Smart Devices 
• Participate in Information Sharing and Collaboration Communities

Mr. Manly continued his discussion of cybersecurity stating there is no 100% secure network, further explaining if a threat actor, who is a person, organization or government carrying out a malicious act, wants to penetrate the network they will be able to do so. He emphasized the District's cybersecurity efforts will make it difficult for a threat actor to infiltrate the network. 

Mr. Manly shared a spreadsheet listing recommended tasks, items, or upgrades to enhance security of the District's network and devices. The spreadsheet also included an estimate of the time and cost to implement each task, item, or upgrade. The spreadsheet items were color coded to indicate the time needed for implementation and estimated cost of the item. Green items being the simplest and least expensive, yellow items being more involved and expensive, and red items being the most time consuming and expensive to implement.

Mr. Manly described his plan is to first execute simple and less costly security tasks, items, and upgrades, which are the items highlighted on the spreadsheet in green. He explained that after implementation of those items, a third-party vendor would perform an intrusion detection test to measure the efficiency of that set of security changes to the network. He explained the results of the intrusion detection test will reveal the effectiveness of the first set of changes to the District's IT systems. 

Mr. Manly explained the District would then determine if the tasks, items, and upgrades highlighted on the list in yellow should be executed to provide an additional layer of security. Mr. Manly explained that items on the list highlighted in red may also be considered and implemented based on the degree to which a secure IT environment is to be established and if the cost benefit of the change is acceptable to the District. 

Mr. Manly stated maintaining cybersecurity will always be a dynamic effort because cybercrime is always evolving causing the District to be continually evaluating IT security protocols and procedures. Mr. Manly emphasized the importance of persistently reassessing security measures which have been implemented to protect District IT systems. 

The Directors and Mr. Bieker asked questions of Mr. Manly regarding the District's strategy to establish security for the District's IT systems, programs, and data. 

Having no further questions for Mr. Manly, Mr. Reed thanked him for presenting strategy the District will implement to protect critical systems and sensitive information from cybercrime. 

At 4:42 p.m. Mr. Manly excused himself from the remainder of the meeting.

Consideration for Adoption: Resolution No. 2022-01-01 Designating Location to Post Notice - presented by Ms. Moore:

Ms. Moore presented Resolution No. 2022-01-01, designating the posting location of the District's Board meeting notices, pursuant to Section 24-6- 402(2)(c) and 32-1-903(2) of the Colorado Revised Statues. 

Ms. Moore stated the District's notices of meetings and agenda information are required to be posted at least 24 hours prior to each meeting online at www.colorado.gov/utsd, per Colorado Revised Statute 24-6-401. 

Ms. Moore elaborated that in the event of interruption in internet service, or another emergency circumstance, the District will also post notice of public meetings at least 24 hours prior to a meeting at the District Administration Building, 2196 Mall Road, Estes Park, Colorado.

The Board considered the Resolution and asked questions of Ms. Moore about the document. 

It was moved by Ms. Doylen and seconded by Mr. Bosch to adopt Resolution No. 2022-01-01 Designating Location to Post Notice. Motion carried unanimously. 

Request for Approval: Agreement for Professional Services Between the District and GBSM, Inc. for Public Relations Services - presented by Mr. Bieker: 

Mr. Bieker stated that in December 2021, upon recommendation from Merrick & Company, the District engaged the services of public relations firm GBSM, Inc. (GBSM) to develop a letter to be sent to customers reminding them about the 2022 rate increase and the need for the new Water Reclamation Facility, Lift Station and Interceptor Improvements Project (Project). He also stated that GBSM was asked to prepare a press release to convey the same information to the Estes Park community. 

Mr. Bieker communicated that GBSM prepared and sent a letter to District customers the week of December 13, 2021, and a press release was published in the Estes Park News on December 31, 2021. 

Mr. Bieker was pleased to report the communication effort about the rate increase and need for the new treatment plant and infrastructure was well received and District staff has heard positive feedback from customers and the community. 

He remarked that District staff was impressed with the GBSM team and their public outreach efforts on the District's behalf. 

Moving forward, Mr. Bieker noted that as the District embarks on design of the Water Reclamation Facility, Lift Station and Interceptor Improvements Project, it is the intent to provide public communication that informs the customers, residents, and visitors to the Estes Valley of the District's endeavors and the Project in a consistent, proactive, and effective manner. 

Mr. Bieker indicated the value and importance of developing an all­encompassing strategic communication program in support of the District's work and implementing the program elements to provide public engagement, outreach, and education to the Estes Valley. 

He noted that, with that purpose in mind, on December 13, 2021, the District published on the Rocky Mountain EPurchasing/BidNet Direct website, a Request for Qualifications for Professional Public Relations Services. The qualification statements were due from interested firms on December 31, 2021.

Mr. Bieker reported the District was pleased to receive qualification statements from Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. (Raftelis) and GBSM and both firms presented very competitive qualifications. 

Mr. Bieker reminded the Board that the District previously worked with the communications team from Raftelis prior to the pandemic in 2019 to help raise awareness among customers and stakeholders of the valuable service the District provides the Estes Valley. He stated, at that time, the District had engaged Raftelis to perform a rate study resulting in the 2020 Wastewater Rate Study which the District used to set today's customer rates to financially support the Project. 

Mr. Bieker reported that he and Ms. Jurgens evaluated both qualification statements and, after careful consideration, determined that GBSM was the most suitable firm to provide public relations services. He remarked that as GBSM states in their cover letter, "The importance of this [communication] effort cannot be understated". 

Mr. Bieker noted that staff are confident GBSM will provide the District with a strategy and approach that will help navigate the complex communication steps the District will undertake in the coming months and years. As indicated in the Statement of Qualifications, GBSM has more than 35 years of experience in helping government entities develop similar "transformational" infrastructure in Colorado and beyond. He indicated GBSM is highly motivated to work collaboratively with the District as a project partner to build an outstanding communication program. 

Mr. Bieker stated staff recommends the Board of Directors consider and approve the Agreement for Professional Services between the District and GBSM for professional public relations services. 

He noted the Agreement has been reviewed by legal counsel, Ms. Linda Glesne, of Cockrel Ela Glesne Greher & Ruhland, P.C. (CEGR Law) and engages the services of GBSM through December 31, 2022, for fees billed on an hourly basis not to exceed $115,000. 

Mr. Bieker added the Agreement also incorporates, by reference, the District's Request for Qualifications for Public Relations Services and GBSM's Statement of Qualifications which outline the scope of services to be provided by GBSM. He further noted GBSM has reviewed and approved the Agreement. 

Mr. Bieker asked the Board to consider approval of the Agreement between the District and GBSM for public relations services and invited questions about GBSM and the District's public relations efforts.

The Directors considered engaging GBSM, discussed the Agreement, and community outreach and education. 

It was moved by Ms. Doylen and seconded by Mr. Cenac to approve the Agreement for Professional Services Between the District and GBSM, Inc. for public relations services. Motion carried unanimously. 

Mr. Bieker thanked the Board for approving the Agreement stating District staff looks forward to GBSM joining the Project Team.

He noted additional meetings will be held through the end of January 2022 to keep the Project moving forward.

Consideration for Adoption: Resolution No. 2022-01-02 Expressing the Intent of the District to be Reimbursed for Certain Expenses relating to the Construction of Certain Sanitation Facilities - presented by Mr. Bieker. 

Mr. Bieker introduced Resolution No. 2022-01-02 Expressing the Intent of the District to be Reimbursed for Certain Expenses relating to the Construction of Certain Sanitation Facilities by stating one key component of successful completion of the new Water Reclamation Facility, Lift Station, and Interceptor Improvements Project is determination of the optimum financing package to fund the infrastructure improvements. 

Mr. Bieker explained that to assist the District in selection of the best financing source or sources, the District has engaged the professional services of legal counsel, Ms. Kim Crawford, of Butler Snow. Ms. Crawford represents governmental entities and other transaction participants in public finance transactions. Ms. Crawford was recommended to the District by Ms. Linda Glesne. 

Mr. Bieker noted that upon Ms. Crawford's recommendation, the District has also engaged the services of Mr. Jason Simmons, Managing Director of Hilltop Securities, Inc. Hilltop Securities is a financial advising firm that provides expert advice and tailored solutions to help special districts meet their goals in the most cost-effective manner possible. 

Mr. Bieker reported that on January 5, 2022, UTSD staff, Mr. Reed, Ms. Doylen, and members of the Project team from Merrick met with Ms. Crawford, Mr. Simmons, and Ms. Mattie Prodanovic, also of Hilltop Securities, to discuss the many facets and opportunities available to the District for Project financing. 

Several Project financing opportunities involve the use of funds issued from Federal sources and the likelihood of the District using Federal funds to support the Project is high. Mr. Bieker noted that given that probability, Ms. Crawford advised the Board of Directors' adoption of a reimbursement resolution to immediately declare the District's intent to reimburse expenditures made prior to the date of financing. He stated the resolution indicates that at a future date the District plans to reimburse the general fund for project expenses initially paid by the District prior to securing Project financing. 

Mr. Bieker indicated the Internal Revenue Service has revised its regulations concerning the use of tax-exempt financing using Federal sources. He added that under the new regulations, the proceeds of financing may be allocated to a prior capital expenditure for a period of time after the expenditure is made, but only if a formal declaration of reasonable intention to reimburse the expenditure with the proceeds of a loan or bond have been properly made. 

Mr. Bieker stated that Ms. Crawford has offered the following points for the Board to consider regarding the proposed resolution:

• The IRS always allows reimbursement for "soft costs" such as engineering, architect work, studies, etc., but not for "hard costs" such as acquisition of capital, like pipes, construction materials, etc. 
• However, the IRS does allow for reimbursement of these hard costs so long as the District has adopted a resolution saying that it is the intent to construct a tax-exempt project, but the District will need to make some expenditures before the financing is in place. 
• The IRS rules allow the District to be reimbursed for expenses incurred up to 3 months prior to the approval of this resolution, through the time that the financing is completed. 
• This allows the District the flexibility to start purchasing materials now, if needed, and if it is deemed to be in their best interest to do so.

Mr. Bieker reported Ms. Crawford has prepared Resolution No. 2022-01-02, A Resolution Expressing the Intent of the District to be Reimbursed for Certain Expenses Relating to the Construction of Certain Sanitation Facilities. 

He stated the Resolution:

• Declares the District's intent to construct capital improvements such as the Project - and the District has determined that it is in the best interest of the District to finance the Project through the issuance of tax-exempt obligations. 
• Declares the Board has determined it is necessary to make capital expenditures to commence construction of the Project prior to the time that the District arranges for the specific financing of the Project. 
• Affirms that the District expects that when Project financing occurs, the capital expenditures will be reimbursed with proceeds from the financing funds.
• Is the instrument which will constitute the District's "official intent" of the Board to reimburse capital expenditures within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.150-2. 
• Declares the District intends to finance approximately $74,000,000 to pay the costs of the Project.

Mr. Bieker remarked the estimated amount to be financed is a high estimate of the total cost of the Project and was developed by Mr. Steve Ravel. 

Mr. Bieker stated if the Board adopts the Resolution at this Board meeting, it will be in full force and effect as of January 18, 2022, and it is important the District take this step before capital expenditures are made for the Project. 

Mr. Bieker noted that failure to comply with regulations may result in the finance proceeds being treated as not expended and remain subject to restrictions. 

Mr. Bieker asked the Directors to consider adoption of Resolution No. 2022-01- 02. 

The Board asked Mr. Bieker and Ms. Jurgens questions about Project financing and the basis of the Resolution. 

It was moved by Ms. Doylen and seconded by Mr. Bosch to adopt Resolution No. 2022-01-02 A Resolution Expressing the Intent of the District to be Reimbursed for Certain Expenses Relating to the Construction of Certain Sanitation Facilities. Motion carried unanimously.

Reports of Officers, Committees, Professional Consultants, & Staff

The Board considered the Reports of Officers, Committees, Professional Consultants, and Staff. 

The Board asked questions of the staff regarding the departmental reports. 

The Board did not have corrections to the departmental reports. 

The Board thanked District staff for preparing the reports. 

It was moved by Mr. Bosch and seconded by Ms. Doylen to accept the Treasurer's Report, Plant Report, System Development Fee Allocation and Connection Report, Collection System Report, Assistant District Manager's Report and District Manager's Report. Motion carried unanimously. 

At 5:34 p.m. Ms. Moore, Mr. Newhouse, Mr. Romig, Ms. Ponzer, and Ms. McCracken excused themselves from the remainder of the meeting.
