Steve:
Steve Dawes Castle Pines, the Daniels Gate neighborhood 5703 Jasper Point Circle. I understand the repairs or reconstruction is coming in March, and, they're going to be going to an automated afterwards, afterwards on a system, but before then, a Zoom. So I think Terrence is still going to be involved.
I'm not sure Corby is. I know he's voting. They're trying to get in on the next contract. I just want to acknowledge your good work. As somebody who listens to the study sessions and relies on their transcript and and the video is, and the system they have set up here, I just think he's done a they both have done a terrific job and want to acknowledge that if they if particularly Corby isn't coming back.
So thanks very much for that. A great thank you.

Castle Pines North Engineering Design Services for the South Tank Rehabilitation Project
Background
A Map of the location of South tank 1 and South Tank 2 off of Country Club Drive on both sides of a parking lot.
Adam:
All right. So, Castle Pines North, south tanks, one and two are two buried finished water storage tanks located at the Country club of Castle Pines. They they are critical because they provide the hydraulic grade line for, the district's, water water distribution system.
Describer:
On screen.
Background
South Tank No. 1 (Tank 1)
• 2.0-MG potable water tank
• Constructed mid-1980's
• Post-tensioned prestressed concrete
• Similar to AWWA D115
• Mild reinforcement (rebar) present
• Roof slab supported by 21 columns
• Buried tank
South Tank No. 2 (Tank 2)
• 1.5-MG potable water tank
• Constructed early-to-mid 2000's
• Post-tensioned prestressed concrete
• Similar to AWWA D115
• Mild reinforcement (rebar) present
• Roof slab supported by 12 columns
• Buried tank
Adam:
The south tanks are, 2 million gallons and 1.5 million gallons, respectively. South Tank number one was constructed in the mid 1980s. It is a, buried tank, as is South tank number two, which was constructed in the mid 2000s. They are both, post tension pre stress concrete tanks, with flat roofs that have been, covered up with sod.

Assessment Methods
• Visual observation
• Ground penetrating radar
• Hammer sounding
• Carbonation Testing
Adam:
Kennedy Jenks performed, structural assessments, using using visual observation, ground penetrating radar and hammer sounding, as well as carbonation testing. This was performed when the tanks were drained during, winter outage periods over the, previous few years.
Describer:

Tank 1 Defects
• 40-years of wear
• Concrete cracking
• Exposed aggregate
• Soft mortar
• Exposed wall ties
• Corroding Equipment
• Failed membrane
Adam:
Here's a few photos of tank number one. There's evidence of 40 years of wear and tear.
Including concrete cap cracking, exposed aggregate, soft mortar, exposed wall ties, corroding equipment, and, failing membranes.
Describer:
On screen.
Tank 2 Defects
• Exposed aggregate
• Soft mortar
• Exposed wall ties
• Corroding support frame
Adam:
Tank two was in a little bit better shape given that it was about 20 years, younger, but it also had exposed aggregate sophomore exposed wall ties and corrosion support frames.
Describer:

South Tank 1 Valve Vault
Challenges
• Drain valve is inoperable
• 28-ft deep cylindrical manhole
• Outlet pipe ties to abandoned water main
Recommendations
• 12-ft x 7-ft rectangular valve vault
• All pipes and valves inside vault
• Cut and cap abandoned water main
Adam:
Additionally, the south tank number one, Valve vault that contains a an 18 inch, valve that allows for the tank to be isolated from the distribution system.
It has challenges. There's a there's a drain line adjacent to the eight inch valve manhole. And that actuator is inoperable. And so that does not allow for easy draining of the cell tank. Number one tank. In order to provide maintenance. It's also a 28ft deep cylindrical manhole. So it's a very confined space. And, the outlet pipe also ties to an abandoned water main.
So, our recommendations are to remedy this with a, approximately 12ft by seven foot rectangular valve that would then, enclose all three of those pipes you can see there on the plan view, which would allow for better access to the valves and the actuators and, better ease of maintenance and a much safer working environment.
We would also look to cut and cap that eight inch abandoned line that, goes off to the east there. Yeah. Right now that that water main is, already abandoned in a different location. And so this would basically we want to cut, cut and cap it there, which again allows us, better operation of that tank in isolation.

Design Execution
• Task 1 - Project Management
• Task 2 - Valve Vault Design
• Task 3 - Permitting Support
• Task 4 - Final Design
• Task 5 - CMAR Support
• April 2026 - CMAR Solicitation
• August 2026 - 60% Design
• August 2026 - CMAR Kickoff
• October 2026 - 90% Design
• November 2026 - CMAR GMP
• January 2027 - Tank 1 Rehab
• January 2028 - Tank 2 Rehab
Adam:
So we put together a, scope of work proposal for this, that includes five tasks, to get us to, final design. We worked with, Nathan to, come up with a CMAR delivery method for this project, which would allow for, faster execution and, you know, writing performance specifications for, some of the work, including the coating application.
So we, you know, we essentially will repair the interior of both tanks as well as, the valve vault, improvements that you saw. Our schedule for this would be to, conduct this solicitation for, construction manager at risk, pre-construction services and, begin that in April. We would look to hit our 60% design milestone in August.
At the same time, we would onboard the, construction manager at risk and kick them off on cost estimating and, buying materials. Shortly thereafter, in October, we would get at our 90% design milestone and look to have our guaranteed maximum price proposal from our, construction manager at risk in, November. And then we would phase the outages of the two tanks.
So we would, first take down tank number one and make all the rehabilitation and repairs, including that valve vault. This winter, beginning in January, this coming winter, I should say, and then subsequently, we would save tank two for the for the following winter and make those, repairs then. Any questions?
Tera:
So Adam. Can I ask you a question?
This is Tera. Are we talking about. So when you're talking about rehab for the the non engineer in the room, are you talking about then re basically resurfacing the inside. You're not going to replace the whole thing. You're going to. Yes. Okay.
Adam:
And yes. And we're going to we're going to do a coating improvement and we're going to do a new membrane at the base.
And so yes, resurfacing the inside.
Jana:
And I'd like to ask a question about the CMAR process. So and maybe this is for Nate. Did you did we decide to do similar. Like are we choosing that or is that the best way to do this since we don't versus design bid build?
Natan:
Yeah, there's a lot of kind of broader sweeping unknowns when we get inside of the tank.
So it was just going to be easier to work with the contractor. It also helps us, hit our defined schedule windows. We've got a pretty tight okay construction window on this one.
Jana:
And I knew you mentioned that before when we talked about it being similar is that there were unknowns, but what was just presented felt like we had lots of knowns, like it felt like, oh, we emptied it out.
We know what's going on so.
Nathan:
Yeah. So we know we know generally what needs to be done. Yeah.
Jana:
But still, a better way to do this is it would save us and money.
Alex Page, Engineer, Kennedy Jenks:
Nathan, if I may, the we just get a lot of information in the inspection, but the time we had to be in the tank. This is Alex, by the way.
Hi, everyone. We didn't have, ability to, like, quantify linear cracks. The amount of square footage of soft mortar. And then also, there could be spots where, like, rebars are going to have specialty, repair. So that's going to be needed. So I think from a delivery method, having a CMAR that, we can work with more collaboratively and provide allowances versus the hard bid situation will allow for us to execute the project timely and have less conflicts.
For those unknowns, does that make sense?
Jana:
That is perfect. That's what I was looking for. Alex was was the why. And that's a perfect reason why. Cool.
James:
Mrs. Jim Mulvey, I was wondering about, the, I guess new valve vault from a percentage standpoint of the total project. And again, things are pretty open at this point. But, from a percentage standpoint, what do you think that's, going to cost as it relates to the total project cost or in, in kind of a timeline for that?
I could have missed it. And I appreciate if you can go over the timeline again.
Adan:
That's a good question. I think, I would I would guess 20% total project costs. And it would, it would be in sync with the, cell tank one, repairs. So it would be this, this coming winter, January of 27.
James:
Okay. And so the existing you're going to, you know, how is it going to be fabricated roughly are you going to build around it and then demolish the existing manhole, or are you going to build it adjacent? It sounds like you're going to intercept these three pipes. So it sounds like you're going down right on top of the existing one.
Adam:
Yeah. So we will do it when the tank is out of service. And we will basically dig a large work area kind of that you can see in that, square in the top right here. That will where we will basically, demolish the manhole, demolish all three pipes, to the inside of the open cut and then basically, tie tie in new pipe to the, existing pipe at the at either end of the open cuts.
Nathan:
So, yeah, it'll be we'll demolish the existing vault in place, put the new one in the exact same spot, and then the new vault will be precast, as we build it back up.
James:
Okay last and final question. So I understand you're going to you're going to cut the pipes off, you're going to build this vault, and then you're going to reattach the pipes.
Have you done an evaluation? It sounds like you did some for the tank, but have you done evaluation of those pipes. And when you actually get down there and enlarge this vault, do you know what you're going to see three feet beyond the edge of the existing pipe, like through this cement wall at this point. The only reason I ask is because we were surprised.
And that was more of a, you know, electrochemical convert, corrosion thing, you know, with the ground wire on the pipes and things like that down here. But my concern is, is we don't know what we don't know down that pipe. Or did you, you know, go into those pipes and kind of look at them, at least from the inside.
Or have you done any kind of evaluation of them?
Alex:
We we we have not as far as I remember. Nathan, correct me if I'm wrong. Evaluate the conditions of the pipe. The I think foremost objective of this project was to remove the safety hazard of accessing that drain valve and allow the district to be able to drain it.
But yeah, we haven't assessed the condition of that pipe. Like all the way beyond that area.
Nathan:
Yeah. There are some practical challenges with that really, at that depth. So if you're sitting at that 28ft depth, we can only hydro excavate. So we can only use like a vac truck to suck up, about 19.5ft at this elevation.
So we can't hydro excavate down there. So really the only way to get a good feel for those pipes is to actually dig them up and expose them. And if we're gonna dig a hole that big, we might as well replace everything while we're down there. In terms of the interior of the pipe there, you know, cement mortar line, ductile pipes, that might not show much.
Anyway, access would also be an issue because of the size of that vault. So even if there's any corrosion, that's not necessarily going to show up in the lining of that pipe. It's only going to show up in the pipe exterior, which we couldn't tell from the inside anyway. So that's something that will be a little bit of an unknown until we expose that, especially on that tank one, which is the older of the two.
James:
Can I make a request then that we list that as a risk item, I guess? Yeah, absolutely. Appreciate.
Nathan:
All right. If you want to keep moving through your presentation, Adam.
Adam:
Okay. I guess the only the only remaining item is the board request. So we are requesting a professional service agreement with Kennedy Jenks consultants for $230,000. Sorry, $130,801.
Jana:
I propose I move to, I lost it. Let's see if I can wing this.
I moved to propose Kennedy Jenks, to move forward with the South tank rehab design proposal.
James:
And I'll second that.
Jason:
Okay. Having a second, we'll move to vote Jim first to approve Jana. Approve. Leah. Approve. I approve as well. Thank you very much for the presentation, guys. Thank you. Thank you. We'll go ahead and close out item number four and move to item number five, the communications report with Bryn and.

Bryn Webster, Account Manager, Sigler Communications:
I think I do. Thanks for having us tonight. We are just providing a short update on what we have been doing for the last several months since we last presented to the board in, I think it was November, and that was more of an overview of the entirety of 2025.
Describer:
On screen. Ongoing Communications: Winter
14 social media posts (over last quarter) on rates, projects & conservation (FB, IG, NextDoor)
3 monthly ads (highlights: rates, backflow, and conservation)
2 bill inserts (highlights: rates and new backflow program)
Bryn:
So it's a little bit shorter presentation. So, you can just click through. We've done about 15 social media posts over the last quarter on our different channels. We currently using Facebook, Instagram and Nextdoor. We'll continue to assess whether those are the best and how to focus on each of those. Our posts were focused around the rate increase, current project information.
And as we head into spring conservation information, we also did a couple of monthly ads, Castle Pines connections, and those were on the same topics, including the Back flow Connection program, which was launched this spring. And the bill inserts highlighted those as well. So cross pollination of key information across every method that we could.

Backflow & Cross-Connection Outreach (door hangers, social media, website & ads)
Bryn:
Some of our key accomplishments this winter, we sent out the E-news in December that focused on the rate increase and explaining the why for that, as well as the projects that were planned for the coming year and things that were already underway.
For that, we included a video that we developed to talk about each of those, and Nathan starred in it for us and shared that, and we shared some footage of the projects that were underway, especially the major lift station project. And we shared that on social website and ads. We did that with the rates. We've created a page dedicated to that with all the graphics that we shared with you previously.
We also created, a GIS project map that's updatable to share all the different projects and where they're located. And then we developed, a plan and ongoing information I'll share a little bit more about with the wastewater system improvements, and then a page for the water treatment plant filter project. And lastly that cross connection outreach, including door hangers as well as the other standard outreach methods.

Bryn:
This is just a quick screenshot of the video we developed. It lives on the website if you want to check it out. If you haven't seen it already, the long version includes both information on the rate increase as well as current projects. And then we broke that out into two separate videos to share on social media. Shorter, more digestible on that platform.
Nathan:
Actually, from the on board packet.
This is a live link, so the board can use that to watch the video if you like.
Jason:
How many people have watched the video?
Bryn:
That's a good question. I should check it out and see because it should say on the website. I'll look, look and let you know.

Lift Station #6 Replacement Project
Treatment Plant Filter Project
Bryn:
So the other thing was this GIS map. And we included not only list station renovation project locations on here, but also the treatment plant filter project.
We could eventually add those tanks on here as well so people can see what's happening real time. If you click on the blue dots, it actually pulls back up some more information about each of those and links back to the website page with more details. So the goal was that however they end up, anyone ends up on this page, they can get back to more information or vice versa.
Jana:
Can I chime in on this one really fast? Yeah, this was my favorite because I can never remember where the list stations are or what numbers they are. And this is phenomenal because then I mean, I went to this, I clicked and I read all about each one so that I could, you know, Nathan tells us, but without that picture to complete it.
So this was fantastic. Thank you.
Bryn:
Great. And a lot of kids go to the GIS person who helped us develop this. Yeah. Okay. And then.
Jason:
Is lift station seven missing?
Bryn:
Is it missing?
Nathan:
I know right where it is. Now so this station seven is this top left one.
Bryb:
Oh, yes. Yes, it's on the line.
Nathan:
They were they were numbered in the order that they were built.
So it makes no geographic sense at all.
Describer:
On screen. Lift Station Project Communications
Communications plan and messaging for each lift station with anticipated impacts and outreach needed.
Map and timeline of anticipated project impacts.
Signage at traffic construction locations + impacted trails. Crew cards for construction team. QR codes to project info.
Project updates and impact notices on Daupler, social and website – using alert banner as needed.
Board project overview sheet.
Bryn:
We just left them numbered. So yeah. And speaking about other communications on that, we did develop a specific plan since this has a lot more public facing elements and some of the other projects you guys are involved in. So we had a plan developed to address questions and just have messaging ready to go on each one of those different projects.
We're updating that as we find out more about what each of them will entail with, you know, whatever impact that looks like. And if we need to reach out to specific homeowners. In addition to that map, we also created a timeline. So if you look on the page at the website page, there's a timeline for each of the projects.
You can see when they're going to be affecting, any just construction in general. And we'll have to update that too, as we have more information. And some of these things we already had out and you already are aware of, like signage along the impacted trails, which we'll continue to use along roadways, cue cards for the construction team.
Those have QR codes back to the website that has that map in the timeline. And using Daupler strategically when we need to, as well as a website alert banner. And then I believe Nathan also provided you with a quick overview sheet that explains this project and has just some key messages and basically points people back to the website if they have questions.
So if you have anyone reach out to you that's ready to go. And then I'll hand it over to Chuck to talk about our upcoming communication efforts.
Chuck Montera, VP Sigler Communications:
Thank you Bryn.
James:
And I just had a quick question or request again. Map is great. I love the map. But the other thing is, is we just talked about this, vault project, you know, the water tank projects, and it's not in our district.
And I'm just wondering, you know, how we reach out to the village and communicate with them and and just make a request of. I don't know how you do that. Maybe, you know, maybe Nathan could help you with the right people to contact and how we get on maybe their website, but that's that would probably be useful to do sooner rather than later, because once the work starts, you probably get will get flooded with a bunch of questions or what have you.
But, you know, even when those boards up there that are great, they can just scan and it takes you. Yeah, I think that would be helpful.
Bryn:
That's a good point. Yes, we will work together to coordinate with them in advance.
Nathan:
So the we're the village, but we've been in contact with both the village and the golf course. But I'll make sure that it gets pushed to their website and stuff too.
That's a good point.
James:
Yeah. But like I said, even if you put one of the boards out with the QR code on it, you think you know that that way you and you're standing there, you could just see what's going on. Yep.
Chuck:
Okay. So when we're talking about upcoming communications, obviously we will continue, communications on the ongoing wastewater project and outreach related to that, to talking about the lift stations.

ONGOING WASTEWATER PROJECT OUTREACH + SPRING CONSERVATION PROMOTION
INFOGRAPHIC ON CPNMD WATER RATES COMPARED WITH OTHERS NEARBY
NEXT QUARTERLY ENEWS (SPRING)
Chuck:
We're definitely going to be talking about your conservation programs, rebates that you offer tips, for homeowners to reduce their outdoor water use as we all know. There's not a lot of snow in the mountains. I know that doesn't impact you as much because of, your, groundwater, water supply. But it's still very important to communicate that to your right player ratepayers.
Conserving is always a good thing. We will be communicating. We're putting together an infographic on the rates that where you compare with other water providers here in Douglas County, and you have a good story to tell there. You're very competitive with your rates. Our next quarterly, spring Enews will go out in March, and we'll be talking about, project updates in that.
We'll be talking about, conservation and we'll also be talking, and promoting the, Drug Takeback program that you all are sponsoring. And I believe that is in on April 25th. So we'll, raise awareness in the newsletter about that program. Next slide please.

SHARE DOUGLAS RECONNAISSANCE STUDY PROJECTS (WHEN DECIDED)
CRISIS COMMS TABLETOP EXCERCISE
PREP FOR SUMMER WATER TREATMENT PLANT COMPLETION OPEN HOUSE EVENT
Chuck:
Okay. communication efforts, the Douglas County reconnaissance Study, we want to, once your decision has been made on the recommendations that you're going to move forward with, we'll be sure to use all of our communications platforms to, get out your decision on what, the district will is moving forward with as it relates to that study.
We plan on doing a crisis communications tabletop exercise for district staff, and we were probably going to do that after the deputy district manager is hired. Once that person is on board, we'll wait for them to be, get on, online, and then we will, hold that, exercise. One thing that we're very excited about is your, we're going to host an open house, event around the completion of your water treatment plant and talk about all the updates that you have done over the last three years, a few years, including the recent filter, replacement that you've done.
And we really want to make this a summer event, a fun family event. So we're thinking about timing this sometime in July when school starts out, probably on a Saturday. And just make it very friendly for, family members to attend, including the kids, and maybe have a little scavenger hunt for them, identifying maybe components in the water treatment plant.
Maybe having a food truck there, that type of thing. But, you've got a great story to tell about your water treatment plant, and we wanted to open that up to the community to celebrate with you all. And with that said, we'll we're happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
Tera:
I don't have any additional questions, but I want to echo what Jana said. I mean, really nice work on the communications. What you've done, all of the videos, the click through and the visuals that you have, it's such great detail and a click all the way through and get all the information. It's really, really well done. So thank you.
Thank you.
Jason:
Any other questions. Again thank you guys very much. Appreciate it. We will go ahead and close out the communications report. And we'll open up item number six the finance report with Eric.

RE: Financial Report – February 2026 Board of Directors Meeting
General Fund Activity
At the Board of Directors Meeting held on November 24, 2025, the Board amended the 2025 Adopted Budget for the District’s General Fund. The 2025 Amended Budget for the District’s General Fund considers the general governmental financial activity (revenues and expenditures) now accounted for in the General Fund that was accounted for in the District’s Enterprise Funds (Water and Wastewater) previously.
Actual revenues as of December 31, 2025, were $2,483,110. As of December 2025, the District recognized $985,508 in property tax revenues received from Douglas County and $76,003 in specific ownership tax revenues. This includes $13,196 in delinquent property taxes collected and represents 99.70% of the budgeted property taxes from the District’s mill levy year-to-date. This is a slightly lower percentage than compared to 2024 (99.99%).
Total actual expenditures as of December 31, 2025, were $2,357,360, resulting in a positive change in funds available of $125,750 as of December 31, 2025. These December numbers are preliminary. We do anticipate some further adjustments as we review the 2025 transactions to ensure completeness for the 2025 audit; however, we do not expect those adjustments to materially affect the financial statements. Following is a snapshot of the General Fund’s preliminary actuals through December 31, 2025, and variance with Amended Budget (amount and percentage) as well as the 2026 Adopted Budget. The 2025 preliminary ending funds available amount of $278,880 exceeds the anticipated ending funds available (and beginning funds available in the 2026 Adopted Budget) by $81,098.
Financial Director Eric Harris:
Good evening board. On in front of you. You have an extensive financial memo available in your packet. I won't go through this in detail.
A lot of this is a culmination of items we've discussed throughout the year, that we're all pretty, pretty much familiar with, timing of capital projects, higher expenses associated with, repairs and maintenance, as well as, the adoption of mending of certain funds and the presentation of those funds. So I won't go through in detail with this.
We've officially enclosed the books for the prior year, will reopen our what we call our 13th period, and post our audit prep entries and get those done. And then we are targeting the audit field work process to start in early May and turn that around pretty quickly within about six weeks and have a draft audit for you available in June.
So we are also overall, we are under all the appropriations as adopted and amended within our project, within the financial statements as well.

STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES WITH BUDGETS BUDGETARY (NON-GAAP) BASIS
December 31, 2024 Actuals, Actuals, Budget and Variance Through December 31, 2026 Adopted Budget 2025
Eric:
Just a couple items of note on page 74, revenue variances, looking at our projections that we had as of September 30th to where we came in at, we what, total water operating revenues, came in at $4.543 million.
We had our original projection of $4.6 million. The balance of that is just volumetric revenue associated with the water service revenue, compared to our September projections that we had. And then overall, again, timing associated with, financial projects as well. We initially projected, $41.656 million and net position, we ended with $43.094 million. And you will see that on page 76 on on page 77.
We were expecting wastewater operating revenues, around $2.679 million. We came in at $2.65 million. So relatively close compared to the volume metric meets revenue that, drives up the majority of that, a couple operational items just to make you aware of, rates were successfully implemented into the system. That is, a full kudos to Susan Nagel.
On staff with Nathan, she went through and implemented those, they're you're close to 150 types of rates that have to be proofed and go into the system. So, those are, those are, went out with, January Billings. We also had an accounts payable discussion over the last two weeks, over the last week since the work session last week.
And we then implemented a procedural change, associated with how we when we cut checks and issued checks. And we implemented that on Friday. And what that is, is essentially just a one day hold for us to do an appropriate financial review internally on all items after it's gone through the engineers, after it's gone through Nathan, after the check has been cut.
And during that time frame, what we do is Molly and I evaluate funding associated with it in our cash position, as well as looking at, variations as, as it relates to the financial control policy. So we don't have to go through this whole matrix presentation that we did, in, in months past, and that allows us to evaluate, is it over a $2.5 million cap?
Should we notify the board? We expect there to be about a six month period where this will be a manual process. And we expect that certain items in the future, system implementations will allow us to, use a system to monitor that a little bit better. So just, make sure you're aware of that. We've, kicked off the UB4 implementation.
So we we walk through that today. What we're going to be doing with that. And so we're going to be doing some testing over the next six weeks or so. Timing for full implementation is, to be determined, but we're looking at the May timeframe. We're not expecting too much of a change for the customer, but we'll get more of a clear picture in that in the coming weeks and communicate that as needed.
Nathan:
So that's our billing system upgrade from our current platform for our current version number.
Eric:
Thank you. Nathan. A couple of other items here. We're continuing to, build out, certain, reports within, the district's accounting system, which will allow us automate financials. I know we've talked about this over the coming over the last few months, and then, we've also, as mentioned, got a head start on the audit and capital asset clean up and doing some coordination.
The city's making sure we're fully, you know, ready to go for the audit field work. With that, is there any questions regarding anything I meant presented or the financial, memorandum that was in the package?
Jason:
Any questions? I don't think so. You've been very thorough. Well, thank you very much. Thank you. We'll go ahead and close up.
Item number six, the finance report. And, we'll move on to item number seven, the legal counsel status report with Paul. Paul, are you with us?

MEMORANDUM
TO: Castle Pines North Metropolitan District
FROM: Seter, Vander Wall & Mielke, P.C., Paul Polito, Esq. and Kim J. Seter, Esq. DATE: February 20, 2026
RE: Legal Status Report for the February 23, 2026 Board Meeting
MATTERS REQUIRING BOARD ACTION
MATTER: SERVICE PLAN AMENDMENT
Status: The intergovernmental agreements with the City of Castle Pines require CPNMD to amend its Service Plan to eliminate Park and Recreation and Stormwater services. Counsel has drafted and circulated the Second Amendment for review. The draft specifically removes the District's authority to provide, own, or maintain parks, trails, open space, and stormwater systems to reflect the property transfers to the City of Castle Pines. Additionally, it establishes a maximum operations mill levy cap of 7 mills, as required in the IGA regarding Park and Recreation services.
Action: Consider and provide comments or suggested edits regarding the Second Amendment.
MATTER: STANDARD INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT TEMPLATE
Status: Counsel has drafted a new, comprehensive Master Services Agreement (MSA) template for the District's use with independent contractors. This updated form is designed to streamline the engagement of on-call and recurring vendors by establishing robust legal protections, including TABOR compliance, governmental immunity, and independent contractor acknowledgments, which will govern the entire relationship. Specific projects and compensation can now be authorized efficiently through a standardized "Task Order" process without renegotiating the base contract.
Action: Consider the draft MSA for approval at the board’s February 23, 2026 meeting.
Legal Counsel Paul Polito, Esq.:
I am. Good evening board. Can you all hear me clearly?
Jason:
Yes, we can hear you. Thank you. Very good.
Paul:
And I don't know if you can see me. I'm coming to you live from, the blizzard over here in the northeast.
I guess a cyclone bomb. So we're doing this by candlelight tonight, and I'm staying warm, but nevertheless, I'm happy, that this iPad has cellular connection, at least because, nobody has power. So, at any rate, we'll get into it. You have a legal status report, in front of you. I'm going to be discussing the second service plan amendment, a bit.
We talked about it, for the most part last week, but I'll give an update on it as well as, some Hidden point updates. Besides those two items, is there anything within this, legal status report that is worth a discussion today?
Jason:
Jim, did you have a question about Jam Ranch that you wanted to bring up?
James:
Yeah, rip myself a note.
What we have currently is, is fine, I think, I'm just I'm worried about wiggle room as far as Jim Ranch and bailouts and things like that. And even if the Jam Ranch becomes incorporated into, Castle Pines itself, does that change anything with how we respond to a demand for services with them? And is there anything else we need to think about or do?
Paul:
Our powers at this point are pretty limited. We have we have the opportunity to comment on what's going on, which is what we've done at this point. The county Planning Commission will has the decision to to recommend it or not, as far as what the district could do at this point, we've done it. There's there's really nothing left as far as how it would impact sort of downstream, you know, waivers, bailouts.
We've presented our case to the county. We've we've made our ask, right, that they put that language, within any sort of, any sort of property conveyances, at least that people are aware of it. We don't have control over that. It's it's up to them. Ultimately, we're in a we're in a stronger position 20, 30 years down the road, give or take, that we made those arguments.
But but no, truly, at this point, we've inserted ourself into the process at the point that that we can, there's there's nothing left to be said.
Leah:
I do have a follow up question. And so like how why would they be able to come to us for bailout requests?
Nathan:
The way that that has worked in the past with other entities?
It's really driven by state regulations of the states or the state. I'm honestly not even sure what office in the state makes this happen. But if there's a water system that is drastically failing, if it's not meeting water quality standards, it's in a horrible condition, and it's reached a point where it's clear that it fiscally just is not able to save itself.
There is a process by which the state can force a neighboring water district to take over that district. It happened with Castle Rock and Bell Mountain Ranch to their south. I think it probably happens to Denver and Aurora more than it does anybody else, just because they're the, you know, the largest providers, and they deal with that a lot.
But it's something that water districts are generally cognizant of the possibility. So they could the state can look at us like Castle Pines village. They can look at Castle Rock. Of those three, as things are currently constructed and, would most likely be us that has to take it over. And like Paul alluded to, that, if that happens, that's probably a 2030 year down the line at least problem.
Jason:
But are there penalties that we can assess.
Nathan:
Yeah. So that usually comes or can often come with like a, like a heavy mill levy. It's not necessarily that the district would be solely responsible for the financial burden sometimes, or state funding, federal funding that gets applied to help with some of those costs to bring their system up to snuff.
So it's not an entirely like just dumping system on somebody, but it's it's still not something you really want to want to go through.
Paul:
Right. And it would be extraterritorial service. So, you know, to the extent you have justifications to charge them a higher amount than you're charging, in service residents. Yeah. You absolutely can do that.
James:
And appreciate it. can I ask another question? in a separate item? Yeah, absolutely. Okay. when I looked at Hidden Point Metro, and again, there's no issues with the inclusion portion of that, but, I had a question about council sent a slightly revised agreement to remove the request of any outstanding fees from Hidden Point.

MATTER: HIDDEN POINTE METRO DISTRICT INCLUSION
Status: Hidden Point Metropolitan District (HPMD) Board had originally advised Mr. Travis that it wants to move forward with an election regarding inclusion at its regular election in May, 2025. A preliminary inclusion agreement was drafted and counsel revised the preliminary inclusion agreement based on discussions with HPMD’s district manager. Counsel provided the draft agreement to HPMD’s district manager for review. HPMD responded on February 16, 2025, with proposed revisions. Counsel discussed inclusion terms with Hidden Point representatives on March 11, 2025. To date, Hidden Pointe has not accepted the terms of the agreement or held a meeting to vote on same. Counsel sent correspondence to Hidden Pointe representatives on September 12, 2025, sending a slightly revised agreement to remove the request of any outstanding fees from Hidden Pointe.
Hidden Pointe’s District Manager sent correspondence to counsel on February 19, 2025, indicating the District is conducting a final review of the inclusion agreement, and providing contact information for Hidden Pointe’s new legal counsel.
Action: None required.
James:
I'm just wondering what the what those additional fees were, and, you know, the nature of them and and the amounts, so to speak.
Paul:
Hidden fee had a balance in their bank account of about, Nathan was it was it 300 or 600? It was. I know it was in that ballpark.
Nathan:
Yeah. Somewhere around there. Yeah. Eric is telling me three,
Paul:
Jim, I can get the numbers to you, but let's, you know, let's call it half a million at this point.
The understood was. So our thoughts at that point were, okay, this is the money that they've accumulated from running the system. We're running the system makes sense to just hand over this money. And, Nathan, you can probably talk about this in a little bit more detail because I think they have these conversations with you as to what they actually wanted to use the money for and what the what their sensitivity to it was.
Did you have those discussions with them?
Nathan:
Yeah. So the, the Paul and I and Hidden Point, we've had this conversation a few different times. The district was in, Castle Pines North Metro district. Our district wasn't really looking for any kind of, like, broader survey inclusion fee, largely because there are ratepayers that have already been paying a 25% surcharge for the duration of their existence.
They had their own metro district in place, not entirely dissimilar from ours. So there were some also some parks, trails and open space, stormwater responsibilities. They did some maintenance transfers, I believe, where they pay some amount of money from their metro district to their own HOA for some of those maintenance obligations, and so that $3 to $500,000 was collected through property taxes.
It was always really meant for that purpose. So they'll still have to resolve that cash balance. The metro district will dissolve and go away. But they wouldn't, you know, they would transfer that money to their, HOA effectively, rather than give it to us, which, you know, is kind of how we expected that ultimately to go.
There was a question on whether or not that was what they could or couldn't do. And when I say a question. I mean, my question. So that was part of those initial conversations. But that was cleared up with my conversation with, Paul and Kim and Hidden Point.
James:
Okay. What's our risk and downside, and should it be put in escrow versus return back to the HOA? At least for some period of time?
Nathan:
That would. Paul, did you hear that question, please?
Paul:
Yeah. I don't see the I don't see the benefit. Only because we know where the money's going. I don't see what the benefit of putting into escrow necessarily does. I don't know how it benefits us in this situation, to be honest.
Nathan:
Yeah. We we already own all of the associated assets too, which is a little bit of a difference.
So we we already own the wastewater collection system distribution system.
James:
That's the risk. Part of it I was asking is if we already own it and we're already maintaining it. Yeah. Okay, then forget me.
Nathan:
Yeah. All right. No problem. You know.
Paul:
While we're on the topic of Hidden point, I did get, correspondence back from their new attorney today. She gave me some red lines. The agreement, I was able to look on it at it on my phone, because, again, no power, no Wi-Fi. From what I did see, it looked to be almost exactly the agreement that I had sent over originally, but, I'll have to take a look at it once I have power.
To start, within the next day or two. And then, I'll get back to her by the end of the week. Well, my my plan is to present this, present the agreement to you at the next board meeting. I don't, I don't see why this can't be wrapped up, very quickly at this point, I think we're all everybody's on the same page.
Finally. So, playing of presenting that to you also be working on the rules and regulations as well. It took a back seat while I was going through every other, all the other items, but, planning, presenting the rules and regulations. Update, to the board the next meeting as well. Before going to the Second Amendment, does anybody have any questions about the legal status report?
Jason:
No. You can continue.

Paul:
Okay. Very good. So this will be familiar to you. We we discussed the petition for approval of the Second Amendment, as well as the Second Amendment itself at the work session last Monday. The only new item here is, a resolution that accompanies it that that simply provides, the authority to, to, filed a petition, the authority for signatures, the authority for legal counsel and staff, to effectuate that, deal with staff from the county.
And so this is a resolution in front of you right now that you're, that you're seeing, we're asking, for the board to approve this resolution at the meeting today.

Tera:
If you want to add additional emphasis. You first.

I was just going to repeat. And again, you know, all that this is, all that this is doing is approving, that change the service plan, which decreases the level of services, which has already been agreed to with the city, and then provides necessary delegations for that. So apologies for the interruption, but happy to answer any questions that you have.

Nathan:
We can we can always bring that back next month, too.

Memorandum
From: Nathan J. Travis
To: CPNMD Board of Directors Date: 02/23/26
Re: District Manager’s Report
AGENDA ITEMS
Lift Station Renovation Program (Agenda Item A)
• Scope A (Lift Stations 1, 2, & 5) Work is well underway, construction has begun at Lift Station 1. Gravity main has been installed and the project is moving forward on schedule.
• Scope B (Lift Stations 3, 4, & 7) The pre-bid for this scope was held on January 20th. The bid opening for this project has been moved to March 11th. The additional time was necessary to issue needed addendums, and allow time for plan holders to review and include in their bid packages.
Interconnect Pump Station- Surge System Modifications (Agenda item B)
• Final adjustments are being made to the Surge system modifications. The total project cost will fall under the public bid requirements of the District. Once the plans are completed, CPNMD will solicit bids directly from selected vendors, with the intent to secure at least three bids prior to Selection of the contractor. Our goal is to complete construction of this project this summer prior to October 1st, 2026
Jason:
I don't think so. It can proceed.
Nathan:
So, really quick, update on the lift station scope and be bid. L ast month, I had indicated to the board and let the board know that we would be bringing that, hopefully a contract for approval this month. Just a few questions came up that required a third addendum to that contract.
So we pushed back our bid opening date. So we're going to, open the bids on March 11th, and we'll bring those for, approval at the following study session. And board meeting. And then the only other item I had to throw to update the board on, this evening is the interconnect pump station. So I had a meeting with Level Engineering to review the final design plans.
This is for the, surge protection system down there that we need to, swap out. Had 2 or 3 comments on their design. They're going to take those back and rework them. That'll get sent. It'll be under the total contract scope will be under our formal bid requirement process and probably not worth the money to go through there.
So in the meantime, I'm working through just developing a list of contractors that'll directly solicit pricing from, we want to get that all in place in that project ready to go this summer. Hopefully start construction on it sometime in July. It's really not going to be that big of a lift. It's really more about timing and getting it done before October 1st.
When that station comes back online. Right now we're looking at a total project for construction cost somewhere around right around $100,000. And we'll have that dialed down more after they make the revisions and redo the cost estimate.
Jason:
All right. Any questions?
James:
No. Just appreciate it. Thank you again. Absolutely.
Jason:
All right. Thanks, Nathan. We'll go ahead and close out then. Item number eight the district manager report. And we'll open up a new item. Item number nine, the operations and engineering report.

District Engineer Report for Board of Directors Meeting on February 23, 2026 Castle Pines North Metropolitan District
KJ Job No. 2646002*GENW
Briefly presented below are the items that we have been involved in during the past month as well as on- going engineering related items.
DISTRICT PROJECTS
Water Treatment Plant & Finished Water Upgrades – Projects in Progress:
Filter Rehabilitation Project: The Filter Rehabilitation Project Contractor (Myers and Sons) mobilized to the site and began construction in December. The Contractor has been working through the filter bed demolition and structural rehabilitation phase of the project to date.
Finished Water Storage Tanks: KJ has developed a scope of work for the rehabilitation of the existing finished water tanks that will be provided to the District for review. This project will sequence the rehabilitation over 2026 and 2027 based on the tank inspection and structural evaluation previously completed by KJ.
Collection and Distribution Projects – Projects in Progress:
Lift Station Upgrades
Plan set A – Lift Stations 1, 2, and 5. Contract with T. Lowell Construction has been executed. Construction started on November 3. Crew has installed two overflow vaults at Lift Station 1 and gravity sewer from Lift Station 1 past the intersection of Serena and Hidden Point.
Plan set B – Lift Stations 3, 4, 6, and 7. Project is out to bid. Bid opening has been extended to March 11th. Site applications for all 4 lift stations are approved by CDPHE. We have been coordinating closely with CDPHE as they complete their engineering review of the construction drawings and final Basis of Design Report.
Monarch Water Line Replacement – Phase 2B from Berganot to Buffalo Trail is 100% complete. We are finalizing record drawings.
CP Tank Site Water Line Relocations – Garney completed the relocation of all three CPNMD water lines at the tank site (20” potable, 24” potable, and 8” raw water). All pipes have been filled, tested, and tie-ins are complete. We requested record drawings from Garney and CP Village.
Background: CP Village is constructing a new tank adjacent to the District’s water transmission mains in the Village. The proximity of the existing water lines with the new tank requires relocation of the water lines. These are the District’s critical water lines from the CPN tanks.
Nathan:
Yep. Does the board have any questions about these reports? And if not, we can move on to directors matters.
Jason:
I'm hearing none. So we can go ahead and close out. Item number nine, the operations and engineering report. Thank you Nathan. And we'll open up item number ten District director's matters. Do any of the directors have anything they wish to mention?
Leah:
I have one question I was going to ask about any I know. I think we talked about this in a prior meeting.
I just couldn't remember. But the next update in regards to Dominion. But then I saw in your district manager report, is that the same as the Stantec study? Yes. Okay.
Tera:
So I just want to echo. Thank you. to Terrence and Corby for all that you do. I know I've said it before, but I just want to repeat, especially when you compare the audio and the visual for our meetings to even the city who was using an owl or whatever they were using. It's so much easier for people.
I feel like we're so much more transparent in our communication because when people watch remotely, they can make it through the meetings. They can hear what we're saying because they're on us to make sure that we're using our mics. But even watching, you know, after the fact, there's people that can't attend in person. We certainly appreciate and thank you for making public comment, because I don't want to ruin we wouldn't want you to ruin your perfect record.
But but it just makes it so much easier. And I, I do want you guys to know how much we appreciate you and, how much that has really elevated, the ability for people to, to participate in our meetings. So thank you for that.
Jason:
I'd like to second that. Thank you guys very much. Does anybody else have any comments questions concerns? If not, we'll go ahead and close out directors matters. And so Nathan next meetings will be held virtually. Is that correct?
Nathan:
That is correct. construction is set to be in second week of March for this building.
Jason:
Okay. And it's a four week or four month,
Nathan:
4 to 6 month.
Yeah. Okay. Their target is, it's going to be a little bit of moving. They're saying four months. My guess would be probably closer to six. Will probably be able to return October or August. Sorry.
Jason:
All right. Very good. All right. We will close our director's matters and we will adjourn the meeting. Thank you. Everybody.
