8. North I-25
PROBLEM: CDOT was applying for $90 million in federal natural disaster relief funds for improvements on N I-25
Match required is about $15 million
CDOT could afford ~ 1/3 of the match
Larimer County and Weld County had to come with the other 2/3 in local match funds.

9. SOLUTION – Share back agreement with County Road & Bridge Mill Levey
North I-25
SOLUTION – Share back agreement with County Road & Bridge Mill Levey
LarCo increase R&B levy by 0.4 mills (reduced general fund levy by same amount
By Statute, ½ of any R&B mill levy must be shared back with the municipality where it was collected.
All 8 municipalities in LarCo agreed to return their incremental increase in the mill levy revenue to the County for I-25 improvements
Estes Park is the only municipality not on the I-25 corridor, but still participated

10. North I-25
OUTCOME
State did not receive the Federal Grant but plans for improvements are moving forward including the local match funds for the project
