The Public Improvements and Services are for the use and benefit of the residents and taxpayers of the District. The District is located in the City and County of Broomfield, Colorado. The District is a quasi-municipal political subdivision of the State of Colorado authorized to provide specialized services that The City and County of Broomfield does not provide.
The District may incur a maximum debt of $97,200,000.00. Ad valorem property taxes, specific ownership taxes, fees, and any other legally available moneys may be used to repay such debt.
The District may assess a maximum mill levy, as adjusted for statutory or legislative changes occurring on or after January 1, 2001, of fifty (50) mills to repay such debt.
The District must file an Annual Report to the City Council of the City and County of Broomfield, the Clerk and Recorder of the City and County of Broomfield, the Division of Local Government, and the State Auditor.
The District boundaries overlap with the boundaries of The City and County of Broomfield, Regional Transportation District (“RTD”), Urban Drainage and Flood District, Jefferson County R1 School District, North Metro Fire District, and Front Range Passenger Rail.
