Summary:
On May 28, 2019, by Resolution 52-19, Council authorized the Copper Ridge Metropolitan District (the "District") to issue formal debt in an aggregate amount of up to $61,000,000 in Tax Increment and Sales Tax Supported Revenues Bonds, Series 2019 to be repaid from a combination of property tax and sales tax increment financing (TIF) revenues, as well as a portion of the City's sales tax after expiration of the TIF period. This amendment would allow an increase in the maximum amount of authorized debt from $61,000,000 to $70,000,000. The increase is needed because project bids came in higher than expected.

The net available proceeds will continue to be used to complete Phase I of the Powers Boulevard extension from I-25 to Voyager Parkway.
Approval of this debt issuance will require a 2/3rds majority of the entire City Council (at least six affirmative votes) pursuant to City Charter Article 7-100.
This item was discussed at an August 19, 2019 meeting of the City Council Budget Committee and introduced to Council at a Work Session on August 26, 2019.
