C.R.S. Section 37-45-142
Bond elections

  • subsequent elections

(1)

No debt required by section 37-45-139 to be submitted to the electors of the district shall be incurred unless the proposition to create such debt is first submitted to and approved by the electors of the district.

(2)

In the event it appears from the returns that the proposition submitted has been approved by a majority of those voting at the election as required under subsection (1) of this section, the district is authorized to incur such indebtedness or obligations, enter into such contract, or issue and sell such bonds of the district, all for the purpose and object provided for in the proposition submitted under this section and in the resolution therefor and in the amount so provided and at a net effective interest rate not exceeding the maximum net effective interest rate recited in such resolution. Submission of the proposition of incurring such obligation or bonded or other indebtedness at such an election shall not prevent or prohibit submission of the same or other propositions at subsequent elections called for such purpose.

(3)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

The board, having received approval at an election to issue bonds and having determined that the limitations of the original election question are too restrictive to permit the advantageous sale of the bonds so authorized, may submit at another election held for such purpose:

(I)

The question of issuing the bonds, or any portion thereof, at a higher maximum net effective interest rate than the maximum interest rate or maximum net effective interest rate approved at the original election; or

(II)

The question of issuing the bonds, or any portion thereof, to mature over a longer period of time than the maximum period of maturity approved at the original election.

(b)

An election held pursuant to this subsection (3) shall be held in substantially the same manner as an election to authorize bonds initially, except as may be required for the submission of the limited question or questions permitted under this subsection (3).

(c)

If a majority of those voting at an election held pursuant to this subsection (3) fails to approve the changes submitted, such result shall not impair the authority of the board at a later time to issue the bonds originally approved within the limitations established at the first election.
