District Transparency
Metropolitan districts are local governments that finance public improvements and provide services to promote the health, safety, prosperity, security, and general welfare of the inhabitants of the districts and the people of the state of Colorado. Metropolitan districts fill the gaps that may exist in services that other local governments will not provide, and the services residents may desire. The RRC No. 3 Metropolitan District (the “District”) provides the following improvements and services: certain water, sanitation, street, safety protection, park and recreation, transportation, television relay and translation, telephone, satellite, and fiber-optic communications systems, and mosquito control improvements and facilities storm sewer, sanitation and wastewater treatment, streets, traffic safety protection, parks and recreation, transportation, fire protection, mosquito control, television relay and translation, solid waste disposal facilities or collection and transportation of solid waste, security, and covenant enforcement and design review.
Pursuant to the District’s Service Plan, approved by the Town of Morrison on September 6, 2016 (the “Service Plan”), the District, RRC Metropolitan District No. 1 and RRC Metropolitan District No. 2 are collectively are authorized to incur $50,000,000 of aggregate debt. Pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement Regarding Debt Allocation dated February 4, 2020, the District, RRC Metropolitan District No. 1, and RRC Metropolitan District No. 2 agreed that RRC Metropolitan District No. 1 and RRC Metropolitan District No. 2 are allocated $45,000,000 of the debt limit in the Service Plan and the District is allocated $5,000,000 of the debt limit in the Service Plan. The District is authorized to impose a maximum debt mill levy of 50 mills subject to adjustment, as defined in the Service Plan, for repayment of such debt. The Service Plan authorizes the repayment of debt from the following sources: ad valorem taxes, rates, fees, tolls, penalties, or charges.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) governs the District. Board members are elected for four-year terms. During election years, the District must provide the Call for Nominations to the electors of the District noting the Board seats up for election. If an owner or resident would like to run for a Board seat up for election, he or she must submit a self-nomination form to the Designated Election Official by the applicable deadline as provided in the Call for Nominations. When a vacancy occurs on the Board between elections, an owner or resident may contact the Districts and request to submit a letter of interest to be appointed to Board. When an individual is appointed to the Board, the term for that appointment runs to the next regular election.
To qualify as a director of a district, a person must be an “eligible elector” which is defined as a registered voter of Colorado and either: (1) a resident of the District, or (2) the owner (or the spouse or civil union partner of the owner) of taxable real or personal property located within the District. A person who is under contract to purchase taxable property and is obligated to pay taxes prior to closing is also considered an “owner.”
The District files its annual report for the prior year with Jefferson County.
