Current law requires local governments to post notices of public meetings required by the state open meetings law in physical locations. The act also allows a local government to post the notices on the local government's website. A local government that posts notices of public meetings on its website may continue to post the notices in a physical location but is not required to do so.

Governing Documents
-
The formation and operation of an authority is governed by Title 32 of the Colorado Revised Statutes and other applicable laws. The first step in formation of an authority is submittal of a ( IGA ) Intergovernmental Agreement to the jurisdiction in which the property is located. The Intergovernmental Agreement is basically like a city charter and sets forth the powers that the district as government entity will have (i.e., the power to provide water, sanitary sewer, street and other public improvements).
-
A resolution is the final form of a decision taken at a meeting by voting on a motion, with or without amendment. A resolution is binding for a Special District. It becomes effective when it is passed but minutes make the evidence of such resolution. An Annual Administrative Matters Resolution outlines statutory requirements of the district and binds the District to the fulfillment of these requirements.
-
All Title 32 Article 1 Special Districts are required by statute (C.R.S. 32-1-306) to annually file, on or before January 1, a current accurate map of their boundaries with the Division of Local Government (DLG).
BBRSA - District Map
-
Under the Colorado Local Government Election Code, regular elections are those where district directors are elected. These have been held on the Tuesday following the first Monday of May in even-numbered years, but beginning in 2023, they will be held in odd-numbered years. The transition to odd-numbered years was a result of House Bill 18-1039 and means that some districts will hold regular elections in May of both 2022 and 2023. Ballot issue elections concerning bonds (TABOR questions) must be held either at regular elections, in coordinated elections in November of even-numbered years, or in TABOR elections in November of odd-numbered years. Special elections, called by a special district board for non-TABOR questions, can be held in February, May (of even-numbered years), October, or December.
-
A board of county commissioners, or the governing body of a municipality within whose boundaries a district is located, may request a district to file, not more than once a year, an annual report. The report includes, but isn’t limited to, information on the progress of the special district in the implementation of the service plan.
Financial Documents
-
A budget for the Authority is required to be submitted to the Division of Local Government on an annual basis. The budget must contain revenues, expenditures, and fund balances. Each budget must also contain a message of significant budget issues for the year, the basis of accounting, and any leases that the Authority is involved in. A draft budget must be presented to the board of directors by October 15th. A hearing is set for public comment thereafter. The budget document must then be adopted by December 31st (Dec 15th if levying property taxes) and submitted to the Division of Local Government by January 31st of the budget year. Authority budgets are available for review at the office of the Authority, or at the Division of Local Government's Denver office.
-
A Budget Amendment (BA) is the mechanism used to revise the working budget to reflect changes that occur throughout the fiscal year. Once the working budget is completed, it can only be changed by Budget Amendment. Budget amendments are occasionally necessary and should be filed with the Division of Local Government (DLG) when adopted by a local government.
-
An annual audit of the financial affairs of the district must be completed by every District by June 30 and filed with the Office of the State Auditor by July 31.
-
A district that has annual revenues or expenditures of less than $500,000 may apply to the Office of the State Auditor for an exemption from audit. The exemption is not automatic, it must be granted, and the request must be filed by March 31.
Community Resolutions
-
Authorities are authorized by title 32 of the Colorado Revised Statutes to use a number of methods to raise revenues for capital needs and general operations costs. These methods, subject to the limitations imposed by section 20 of article X of the Colorado constitution, include issuing debt, levying taxes, and imposing fees and charges.
