General Information
All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least
small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily
indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and
potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s
Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or by visiting epa.gov/ground-water-and-

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general
population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing
chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV-AIDS or
other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk of
infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care

Introduction
The intent of this document is to help town staff and elected officials to implement
and monitor a five-year capital improvement plan for each department. While
projects and priorities can change throughout the year, this document serves as a
guide to communicate with each other and the public about the work that the Town
of Mancos is planning for the next five years.
The items in this plan are derived from three basic sources. First, projects and
initiatives that are priorities of the Board of Trustees, which are gathered from the
annual Board of Trustees strategic planning retreats, are included. These projects are
community needs and typically reflect either upgrades to public infrastructure or
other community-stated priorities. Secondly, items in this work plan originate from
staff. Department Heads plan their work for the coming years based on identified
needs within their departments. Third, the capital asset inventory conducted by SGM

Re: Economic Development Incentive Program
Recommendation
None – requesting Board feedback
Background/Discussion
Attached is the information requested to begin discussion of changes to the current
Economic Development Incentive Program.
I have included information from Region 9 regarding incentives currently available
from entities other than the Town of Mancos. Montezuma County is an Enterprise
Zone, so tax credits are available to businesses located in Montezuma County.
Region 9 offers assistance to local businesses. Their 2025 report is attached here,
which includes Mancos business information.
The Town of Mancos is a Rural Jump Start Community, and that information is
included here for you.
The Town of Mancos incentive information is also included here for your review and
feed back.
Finally, I’ve included a “sample” incentive packet which will be available to our
businesses when this project is complete. This information will be updated when this
project is complete.
