Title
Resolution approving an amendment to the Service Plan for the Upper Cottonwood Creek Metropolitan District Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Presenter:
Carl Schueler, Comprehensive Planning Manager, Planning & Community Development Department

Body
Summary:
This service plan amendment would allow Upper Cottonwood Creek Metropolitan District Nos. 3, 4 and 5 to certify an operational mill levy of up 20.0 mills.

The increase would be applicable only to District Nos. 3, 4 and 5, which are currently undeveloped. The maximum operational mill levy would remain at 10.0 mills for previously developed areas in the Upper Cottonwood Creek Metropolitan Districts, specifically Districts No. 1 and No. 2.
