Region 96 Economic Snapshot- 2024 Update  1  Introduction    Rls    Region! 9's boundaries encompass 6,584 square miles in the southwest corner of the state and contain 6.3% of the total land area in Colorado (104,247 sq. miles). The eastern: and northeastern areas include the rugged San. Juan Range oft the Rocky Mountains, with peaks rising above 14,000 feet. Part of the Colorado Plateau - al landform characterized by sparsely vegetated plateaus, mesas, and deep canyons - defines the western area where the lowest elevation is about 6,0001 feet. The headwaters of several tributaries toi the Colorado River are located in the high country. Drainages flow to the west ands southwest from the Continental Divide, eventually feeding the San. Juan River, which flows into the Colorado River. The mountain headwaters receive most of the region's precipitation, mostly in snowfall, while the lower elevations have arid and semi-arid climates. Snowmelt is stored in reservoirs throughout the region for use later int the Public lands make up 45% of the district; 38% are private lands and 17% are tribal lands. Major areas of public lands include the San. Juan National Forest (SJNF), which encompasses over 1.8 million acres, including the 499,771-acre Weminuche Wilderness (the largest designated wilderness areai in Colorado); the recently designated 37,236-acre Hermosa Creek Wilderness; and Chimney Rock National Monument (one of America's newest National Monuments). The other major public land manager, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), administers the federal mineral estate underlying private lands (known as split estate) and has trust responsibility for mineral management on 800,000 acres of Tribal lands. The BLM also manages the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, a 176,000 acre area richi in archaeological. sites. The National Park Service (NPS) administers Mesa Verde National Park, a world heritage site, and the lesser-known cultural sites of Hovenweep and' Yucca House National Monuments. The Bureau of Reclamation also has ani influential presencei int the region as the entity involved ini the construction of numerous reservoirs and water delivery systems. Some of these improvements are now managed either in partnership with the USFS and/or by the Two Ute Tribes manage thet tribal lands in the region. The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe has acreage on its reservation in La Plata and Montezuma Counties in Colorado, in San Juan County in New Mexico; and in satellite ranching operations. The Tribe also has a presence in southeastern Utah on allotted trust land. Their tribal headquarters is in Towaoc. The reservation of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe is locatedi in Lal Plata and Archuleta Counties, with headquarters located near Ignacio. Unlike other Indian reservations that are all contained within one boundary, some of the Southern Ute lands are not contiguous. The Tribe recently updated its Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) htps/www.southernutemngwp-conten/poatsal20202-MALSUIEED5w-Resolution: Like much oft the state, southwestern Colorado has seen growth and changei in recent years, providing a catalyst for new opportunities. Region 9 works within this framework to encourage flexible and resilient economic development strategies. Al long-standing regional goal has been to minimize ther relative impact of any sudden change in fortunes, hence employment, ofa any (large) firm ori industry. Events such as al housing bubble or a recession, changes to water quality and availability, or catastrophic events such as wildfires or a global pandemic such as COVID- -19, can move the region into unfamiliar and potentially costly scenarios. As such, strategies meant to encourage economic development in this rural region must bet flexible and resilient to respond to the unexpected and! be open to emerging opportunities.

Region 9 Economic Snapshot- - 2024 Update  9  Regional Overview    THE SOUTHERN UTE INDIAN TRIBE  The Southern Ute Tribal enrollment is currently about 1,500, with most (65%) oft the enrolled tribal members livingo on the reservation. The present-day: Southern Ute Reservation forms a rectangle seventy-five miles east to west by 15 miles north to south and is slightly more than 681,000 acres in total area. Often referred to as a' checkerboard" for its irregular pattern ofl land ownership, the reservation lands are divided among manyi interests, including primarily Tribal trust lands, allotted trust lands, U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Reclamation lands, andi fee simple lands. Much of the  Tribe's lands, with the exception of the Pine River Valley, are rugged, upland and foothill areas, while non-Indian fee lands occur on the arable mesas within the reservation. U.S. Forest Service lands are those of the San. Juan National The Tribe is the largest employer in Lal Plata County. Tribal government and other enterprises currently employ about 1,500 people. The Tribe's economic success comes from its land, mineral estate (the Tribe's Reservation straddles the northern third of the! San. Juan Basin - underlain by gas bearing geological formations including coalbeds), the extraordinary vision of its leaders, and to the efforts and achievements ofi its employees. Early efforts to develop minerals under the supervision oft the Bureau ofl Indian Affairs provided moderate economic benefits to the Tribe. However, beginning int the 1980s, the Tribe assumed an active role in managing its own resources. The Tribe created its own Department of Energy to audit and manage the royalty and severance taxes paid by other operators within the reservation. In 19921 the Tribe started its own exploration and production company - Red Willow Production Company and later, its own midstream company - Red Cedar Gathering Company (aj joint venture with Kinder Morgan). Ini the late 1990's, the Tribe estimated that on-reservation gas production would peak within the next decade and determined that other: sources of revenue were necessary to sustain the Tribe's future. Actual production in the San. Juan Basin peaked in In 1999, the Tribe adopted al Financial Plan that was unique in Indian Country. The plan separated the government functions of the Tribe (a quasi-sovereign nation) from the business functions. The governmental division was named the Permanent Fund and was set upt to receive a portion of the royalties ands severance taxes tot fund an endowment to operate off of interest earned on the endowment. The Growth Fund was formed in 2000 to operate Tribal for-profit businesses both on and offt the Reservation. Iti is a substantial, but quiet, economic driver for southwest Colorado serving the membership of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe. The Growth Fund is charged with managing SUIT businesses effectively, building new businesses prudently, paying dividends and elder's pensions while reinvesting money to grow the businesses to provide fori future prosperity for the Tribal Membership. The Growth Fund started small but has grown over the last 20 years, with holdings and/or operations in ten states and the Gulf of Mexico. The Growth Fund now consists of companies operatingi in oil and gas exploration and production on the Reservation, in the Permian Basin, Powder River Basin and deep water Gulf of Mexico (Red Willow Production Company); gas gathering on reservation (Red Cedar Gathering Company) and gas gathering and treating off-reservation (Aka Energy); real estate investment in hotel, apartments, industrial buildings, office buildings and horizontal and vertical development (GF Properties Group); and Enterprises include the Sky Ute Casino Resort opened in 2008. It offers casino gaming, as well as other family amenities and entertainment. In addition, the resort offers full convention and banquet facilities and can host many mid-size conferences (500 +). The concert venue can: seat 1,350 and offers various genre of musical talent. The Casino/Resort has ap portion of its net gaming proceeds used to fund the Tribe's governmental operations. While purchasing requirements are: SO large that local vendors cannot compete, the Casino Resort uses local vendors to the greatest extent possible for such needs as printing & advertising, equipment rental, cleaning services, electrical needs, and vehicle purchases. The Casino Resort'si impact on the surrounding community is often under-estimated. As the region's only sizeable conference center the property can attract events to the area that would otherwise have to find accommodations outside of the region. The Tribe recently updatedi its Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) https//www.southernute-nsngov/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/02023-FINALSUIT-CEDS-w-Resolution- 10.10.23.pdf.

Region 95 Economic Snapshot - 2024 Update  10  Southern Ute Indian Tribe    THE UTE MOUNTAIN UTE TRIBE  Today, the homelands for the Weeminuche, or Ute Mountain Ute Tribe (UMUT), are slightly less than 600,000 acres. The Tribal lands are on whati is known as the Colorado Plateau, a high desert area with deep canyons carved through the mesas. The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is headquartered in Towaoc, Colorado and White Mesa, Utahi in an: areal known as the Four Corners Region, where the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah come together. Towaoc is southwest of Mesa Verde National Park and northeast of scenic Monument Valley. In addition tot the landi in Colorado  and New Mexico, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe also has a presence in southeastern Utah, on allottedi trust land. These lands, or allotments, cover 2,597 acres and are located at Allen Canyon and the greater Cottonwood Wash area as well as on' White Mesa and in Cross Canyon. Some oft the allotments in White Mesa and Allen Canyon are individually owned and some are owned byt the Tribe as a whole. The Tribe also holds fee patent title to 41,112 acres of land in Utah and The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe has an enrolled membership of about 2,100. The majority (969) of UMUTTribal members live on the Reservation in Towaoc, with a smaller population (242) in the White Mesa community. The remaining members live off the Reservation. Thisi is al harsh, isolated land, with no nearby cities to provide specialty healthcare or other services for the residents. For residents of Towaoc, the nearest city with a population of more than! 50,000i is more than 175 miles away. For those in White Mesa, the nearest city with a population of 50,000 or more is about 200 miles away. Tribal lands alsoi include the Ute Mountain Tribal Park, which covers 125,000 acres of land along the Mancos River. Hundreds of surface sites, cliff dwellings, petroglyphs and wall paintings of Ancestral Puebloan and Ute cultures are preserved int the park. Native. American Ute tour guides provide background information about the people, culture and history who livedi in the park lands. National Geographic Traveler chose it as one of "80 World Destinations for Travel in The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is a major contributor to the regional economy. In 2019, the Tribe was one of the largest employers in Montezuma County with "1,300 jobs in alla aspects of tribal government and operations, and at their Ute Mountain Casino and RVI Park. The Colorado Ute Water Settlement Act of 1988 mandated, through thel building of the Dolores Project and McPhee Reservoir, that drinking, and irrigation water be provided to the reservation. This has dramatically expanded farming and ranching operations. Other tribal resources include income from oil and gas wells, and tribal enterprises that revolve around tourism such as the Tribe's Ute Mountain Ute Tribal Park and the Ute Mountain Indian Trading Company & Gallery. The Tribe has prepared a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) detailingi its strategic roadmapi for success.

Juan Mountains with supplies. By the turn of the 20th century the mining boom had played out andt the remaining settlers turned to subsistence agriculture and the export of agricultural and timber products. Ini the 1980's, the construction of McPhee Reservoir (the Dolores Project) andi its extensive irrigation systems allowed increased agricultural production and enhanced recreational opportunities for locals and tourists. More recently, Montezuma County and local communities have been exploring increasing the telecommunications infrastructure and further securing water resources.  Population - Between 2010 and 2022, Montezuma County grew 0.3% annually with most of the growth occurring in Cortez 0.3% (0.5%).

Region 95 Economic Snapshot - 2024 Update  21  San Juan County    GLOSSARY OFI KEY TERMS  Economic Base Analysis is at tool to describe economic activity byt the source of revenue, whether the money generated bys sales comes from outside the local economy, or from within thel local economy. This type of analysis is designed to define those economic activities that drive or sustain thel local economy. Base Analysis distinguishes which industries and factors are responsible for overall growth and change. There arei two types of regional industries: Base industries produce exports or derive their sales ori income directly from outside sources, or indirectly by providing supplies to export industries. These activities bring in outside dollars to circulate within the local economy. These industries include agriculture, mining, manufacturing, national and regional services, state andi federal government jobs, and tourism, Another base industry is created by households that spend money earned elsewhere. For example, a retiree whose income comes from outside of the county is supporting many traditional local resident services jobs; however, since their income is basic (from outside the local economy), the local resident service jobs are also considered Local resident services provide services to residents and also re-circulate dollars within the local economy. Resident services include industries that take care of the local community, such as health services, education, and employment at the local grocery store. Residential industries are industries because they create jobs. . which, in turn, create demands Outside money enters the local economy through a variety of sources, circulates through the local area, and then leaves the local economy when we purchase goods or services from outside the area, or pay federal and state taxes. A common confusion withi this type of analysis is that iti focuses on the source of revenue as opposed to specific industries. Tourism is considered a direct base economic activity because the visitors are bringing their money fromi the  basic.  for worker housing and services.  outside economy and spending iti int thel local economy.  Looking at restaurants for example, when the person buying a meal is from outside the area (a tourist), iti is a direct base economic activity and when the personi is a resident using money earned ini thel local economy, iti is al local resident service activity. So, restaurants are both direct based and al local resident service. The office of the Colorado State Demographer performs various statistical estimates, including actual surveys of businesses (calling the restaurant and asking them for estimates of how much of their sales are to residents versus tourists) to provide a percentage in various sectors of how much of their activity is direct or local resident based. Amenity Migration is another source of direct base revenue int terms of money coming from the outside economy to buyr real estate and construct homes in the local economy.  Econe  The term comes from thet fact that people migrate to southwest Colorado because of the amenities, i.e., quality ofl life and environment. Some of these people are second homeowners and some are telecommuters, meaning that they work  from home, making use of the Internet, email and the telephone.  Commuter Data  The Census's Longitudinal mployer-ousehold Dynamics (LEHD) program contains several datasets, one of which is the Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES) dataset. This dataset further contains three parts: origin destination, residence area characteristics and work area characteristics. Theset three pieces together provide information on commuting patterns by 2-digit industry between census tracts. (Lightcast Labor Market Analytics)  Region. 96 Economic Snapshot- - 2024 Update  22  Glossary    Population Census data is collected every 10 years (i.e., 2010, 2020) andi is considered an actual count of people within aregion or county.

Projections are made using an assumed growth rate to predict future growth. ttps//demographydolacoloradogov/population/ Wage thresholds - The average annual wagel is drawn from the Quarterly Census of Employment & Wages (QCEW Program): low wage = 80% or less than the average annual wage; mid wage = greater than 80% and less than 120% of the average annual wage; high wage is greater than 120% of the annual average wage. Livable wage is provided fora a Total Personal Income is another important tool to understand our local economy. Total personal income (TPI) is divided into four main components. These numbers come from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). 1. Employment earnings are derived from wage and: salary employment as well as from business proprietor'si income. 2. Dividends, Interest & Rent Dividend income is cash and other assets paidt to stockholders who are residents oft the area. Interest income consists of monies received by local residents from money market mutual funds and other sources.

Transfer payments consist primarily ofr retirement and disability benefit payments, medical payments (i.e., Medicare and Medicaid), income maintenance benefits, unemployment insurance, veteran's benefits and payments to local 4. Residency adjustments are made whena a person is paid for work performed from outside their place of residency, i.e., commuters. Negative numbers indicate that more people are commuting into the county for employment than When we divide Total Personal Income (TPI) byt the number of people in each county we, get an estimate of Per Capita Income (PCI).

BOX4 466 SILVERTON, COLORAD081433  PHONE/FAX970-387-5766 admin@sanjuancolorado.us  February 14, 2024  Dear Commissioners Lynn Padgett, Michelle Maucr, and Jakc Niece  Itl has come to our attention that Ouray County is considering a Special Use Permit for the Red Mountain Alpine Lodge (RMAL) in which the applicant has requested that parking for the Lodge be allowed at the top ofE Red Mountain Pass. Much of that parking area is located in San Juan County and the San Juan County  Commissioners: would like to voice our opposition.  You are probably aware that Red Mountain Pass is a very popular recreation area during the winter months and finding parking can be difficult. Allowing for additional parking will only exasperate the problems. For several years we have discussed the parking issues and problems on the Red Mountain Pass with CDOT and have explored ways to expand parking. Unfortunately, we have not found sufficient resources to move forward. Additional overnight parking will increase the difficulty for CDOT to plow the parking area. The results would Allowing RMAL's guests to park on the top oft the pass creatcs an unfair disadvantage to the guiding services in San Juan County ifthey cannot find adequate parking for their clients. The lack of parking has already created problems for the Silverton Avalanche School and San Juan Expeditions Avalanche Training as they have been limitcd in which days thcy can providc thcir training courscs and in finding adcquatc parking arcas cven when Decreasing the available parking for recreationalists on Red Mountain creates. a domino effect throughout the 550 corridor as skiers, snowshoers, etc. look for a place to park and recreate, often overwhelming the pullouts along the highway. This also has the potential to direct people to recreate in more dangerous terrain and Ibelieve the applicant has argued that in the post covid era people do not want to share a shuttle ride with strangers. However, the RMAL experience does not appear to be one ofs seclusion. They also raise thc issue of the safety oft the road itself. Iftheir gucsts are fearful of Red Mountain and arc not comfortable with driving the pass then it is better for them to plan their trip to avoid driving Red Mountain Pass and having someone else San Juan County amended their Land Use Regulations several years ago to require that any vacation rental We would be happy to partner with Ouray County, CDOT and the RMAL to develop adequate parking on Red Mountain Pass. Until that happens, we strongly oppose allowing the RMAL to use the area to provide  likely be even fewer parking spaces available for day recreationalists.  they carpool to the site.  therefore putting a larger burden on our emergency services.  shuttle them to the lodge.  provide off-street dedicated parking spaces at all times.    overnight parking for their guests. This is an extremely popular location for recreationalists from both sides of  the mountain and we should work to preserve that experience for our communities. Ifyou have any questions, please contact the County Administrator at your convenience.  Sincerely, -  -  Austin Lashley, Chairman San Juan County Commissioners
