Independent Contractor Agreement Avon Recreation Center Mural Project -2021
Page 6 of 7

contract for the provision of any future services, and makes no warranties or representations otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may mutually agree in writing to the monthly extension of this

to Article X, § 20 of the Colorado Constitution ("TABOR"). The Parties do not intend to violate the terms and
requirements of TABOR by the execution of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that this Agreement
does not create a multi-fiscal year direct or indirect debt or obligation within the meaning of TABOR and,
therefore, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all payment obligations of the Town
are expressly dependent and conditioned upon the continuing availability of funds beyond the term of the
Town's current fiscal period ending upon the next succeeding December 31. Financial obligations of the
Town payable after the current fiscal year are contingent upon funds for that purpose being appropriated,
budgeted, and otherwise made available in accordance with the rules, regulations, and resolutions of Town
of Avon, and other applicable law. Upon the failure to appropriate such funds, this Agreement shall be
terminated.

submission form to be completed by the Contractor.
