Special districts

  • transfer of responsibility

(1)

The governing body of any special district organized pursuant to part 2 of article 20 of title 30, C.R.S., or article 1 or part 4 of article 4 of this title may designate the board of directors of the service authority in which the district is located to act as the board of directors of said district in the manner and within the limitations set forth in this section, if said service authority is authorized to perform the same service or services as the district is performing. Such designation may be made notwithstanding any other provision of this title (except article 8), article 8 of title 29, part 2 of article 20 of title 30, and parts 5 and 6 of article 25 of title 31, C.R.S.

(2)

The designation shall be made by resolution adopted by a majority of the members of the governing board of the district. Prior to the adoption of the resolution, the district governing board shall hold a public hearing on the proposed designation giving all parties who are eligible electors of the district an opportunity to be heard with regard to the proposal. Notice by publication of the hearing shall be given.

(3)

Certified copies of any resolution approving said designation, if adopted, shall be filed, not later than thirty days after adoption, with the regional service authority board, the county clerk and recorder of each county within which the district is located, the clerk of the district court by order of which said district was organized, and the division of local government.

(4)

Said resolution shall be effective upon completion of said filings, and said designation shall take effect upon the date set forth in said resolution, or, if none, then on the first day of the second calendar month following the effective date of said resolution, except as provided in subsection (5) of this section.

(5)

If the lesser of forty percent or two hundred of the eligible electors of the district request, by a petition filed with the district governing board not more than twenty days after adoption of the resolution, that the question of approving the designation be submitted to a vote of the eligible electors of the district at the next regular election or at a special election called for that purpose, the resolution and designation shall not take effect unless and until approved at the election. The question shall be so submitted by the district governing board at the next regular election, if held not more than one hundred twenty days nor less than sixty days after the filing of the petition. If no regular election is to be held within that period, the question shall be so submitted at a special election called for that purpose to be held within ninety days after the filing of the petition.

(6)

If approved by a majority of those eligible electors of the district voting thereon, the resolution shall be filed as required by subsection (3) of this section, and the designation shall become effective on the date set forth in the resolution or, if none, on the first day of the second calendar month following the effective date of the resolution.

(7)

If at least forty percent or two hundred of the eligible electors of the district, whichever is the lesser number, request, by a petition filed with the district governing board, that the board adopt a resolution to designate the regional service authority to be and act as the board of directors, the district governing board shall, within sixty days, hold a hearing as provided in this section. The board shall, within thirty days after the hearing, adopt a resolution and make such designation or shall act to submit the question of approving the designation at a special election called for that purpose to be held within ninety days after the filing of the petition.

(8)

Any resolution adopted by the board calling for a special election shall name a designated election official who shall be responsible for the conducting of the election. The election shall be held and conducted as provided in articles 1 to 13 of title 1, C.R.S.
