i„, <br />Boulder <br />County <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />July 6, 2020 <br />Mr. Rick M. Garcia, Executive Director <br />Department of Local Affairs <br />State of Colorado <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 521 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: Boulder County Collaboration Agreement Related to the Distribution of CARES <br />Act Funds <br />Dear Executive Director Garcia; <br />Boulder County and our ten municipal partners want to thank you for your leadership in <br />securing CARES funding for local governments who did not get a direct allocation of <br />funding from the Department of the Treasury. <br />The COVID-19 worldwide pandemic has required every local government to expend <br />significant effort and funds to protect the community and to slow the spread of COVID-19. <br />Efforts to slow the spread and protect the community as well as recovery efforts are ongoing <br />and will require continued effort and funding. We thank you for appropriating $27,889,758 <br />of CARES funding to reimburse Boulder County local governments for these unbudgeted <br />expenses. <br />Luckily, Boulder County and its municipal partners have a successful track record of <br />working collaboratively for the benefit of the community and we have jointly come to <br />agreement as to how to best allocate these funds. We also recognize that it is in the best <br />interest of the Boulder County community to work cooperatively to ensure that the entire <br />Boulder County allocation is applied to the benefit of Boulder County residents rather than <br />allowing the funds to remain unspent and revert to the state-wide reserve fund pool for <br />reallocation elsewhere in the state. <br />To this end, the Boulder County Collaborative including Boulder County and the <br />municipalities of City of Boulder, Colorado, the City of Lafayette, Colorado, the City of <br />Longmont, Colorado, the City of Louisville, Colorado, the Town of Erie, Colorado, the <br />Town of Jamestown, Colorado, the Town of Lyons, Colorado, the Town of Nederland, <br />Deb Gardner County Commissioner <br />Elise Jones County Commissioner Matt Jones County Commissioner <br />Boulder County Courthouse • 1325 Pearl Street • Boulder, Colorado 80302 • Tel: 303.441.3500 • Fax: 303.441.4525 <br />Mailing Address: P.O.
