Summary:
The Barnes & Powers North Business Improvement District (BID) is a legal entity separate from the City of Colorado Springs. However, as required by State statute, it is necessary for City Council to review and approve the proposed 2022 Operating Plan and Budget for the BID.
This BID anticipates no significant activities in 2022 other than servicing its remaining debt.
Background:
The boundaries of this development-specific BID were established pursuant to an election in 2004. This BID has an elected board comprised of individuals associated with Nor'wood Development Group. The board currently has one vacancy which the District has noted may be filled with an appointment in 2022. The District is authorized to provide the acquisition and financing of improvements, construction of improvements, operation and maintenance of parking facilities, roadways, lighting, driveways, public utilities, and landscaping.
This Operating Plan and Budget is provided in format consistent with the standard template approved by Council in August 2014 for these documents.
Previous Council Action:
City Council approved the creation of this BID in 2004 (Ordinance No. 04-49), and has approved the BID Operating Plan and Budget annually since its formation. In 2007, City Council approved issuance of $4,000,000 in bonded indebtedness to reimburse the developers for eligible public improvements costs. In 2014, Council approved a minor exclusion of property from this District in order to add property to the Barnes & Powers South BID for the purposes of allowing that District to continue to operate with its current board of directors (Ordinance No. 14-4).
