Part II, Line 5Part II, Line 5 - Summarized PolicyColorado Open Lands (COL) is currently operating under a Conservation Easement Stewardship and Monitoring protocol that is consistent with the Land Trust Alliance's Standards and Practices. Our Enforcement and Amendment policies have been approved by the Board. Our policies ensure COL will have the financial means necessary to continue our perpetual obligations to steward the conservation easements we have and will accept going forward. COL's policies also ensure that COL will have the necessary documentation to enforce each conservation easement going forward. This includes accurate baseline files as well as proper documentations of stewardship issues which have occurred in the past. Landowner requests for interpretation or changes to the deed of easement must come in writing, so COL has records of the landowner's intentions. If a reserved right is exercised, this too must be in writing and in compliance with THE notice provisions set forth in each deed of conservation easement. If a property changes hands, it is COL's policy to update our records and meet with the new landowner to ensure they fully understand the restrictions set forth on their property. This is to try to prevent future stewardship issue form arising. COL has a policy of monitoring every easement on an annual basis. This usually includes a visit to the property in person but may also include aerial monitoring. COL's conflict of interest policy applies to the stewardship policy and no landowner may monitor their own property. Monitors of COL conservation easements will not make decisions in the field as to whether or not a situation is or is not a violation of the terms and conditions of the conservation easement. Instead, monitors will collect information on the item of concern. The upper level staff will evaluate the infraction. If it is determined that the infraction is a violation, the board and legal counsel is notified and a course of action is set to correct the violation. It is the stated policy of COL to enforce all of the terms of our conservation easements. That being stated, it is also the intention of the organization to avoid litigation, if possible, in the enforcement of any violation of a conservation easement. However, legal action may be required and any legal action, including the filing of injunctions, on the part of COL requires the adoption of a resolution of the Board of Directors.

Part II, Line 9Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements.The Organization receives gifts of conservation easements, which represent numerous restrictions over the use and development of land not owned by the Organization. The donated value of conservation easements are recorded, based on the appraised value when available, as revenue when received and an expense is recorded for an equal amount whether the conservation easement is held by the Organization or transferred to an eligible entity. Donated conservation easements are recorded at estimated value when an appraisal is not available. The Organization's policy for conservation easements is that the benefits flow through to the general public. The Organization monitors activities on the land and enforces restrictions contained in both donated and purchased conservation easements.
