Body
Summary:
This resolution would adopt a comprehensive amendment of the City's currently adopted Special District Policy ("Policy") which dates from 2006, along with updated versions model service plans for metropolitan districts and operating plans and budgets for business improvement districts (BIDs)(collectively "Model Plans"). These recommended changes were discussed and deliberated in detail by a specifically constituted Special District Working Group which convened from November 2021 through June of 2022. This recommended new Policy and the Model Plans also respond to recommendations made as part of a September 2021 review of metropolitan districts provided by the City Auditor.

The amended Policy and Model Plans would apply to City Council action concerning Colorado Revised Statutes Title 31 and 32 districts [Metropolitan Districts, Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and General Improvement Districts (GIDs)] going forward from its date of approval.

This item was introduced at a City Council Work Session on June 27, 2022. Please refer to the summary of that discussion provided below. The item was then originally scheduled for hearing on July 12, 2022 but continued to this date in order to assure the latest versions of the recommended documents were available for City Council consideration.

The versions of the four documents provided as exhibits to this draft resolution have been edited for formatting and technical corrections.
