(a) Resolution of the board, subject to protest by the owners of a majority of all property benefited and constituting the basis of assessment as the board may determine; or

(b) Petition by the owners of a majority of all property benefited and constituting the basis of assessment in the proposed district.

(4) The board has the power by resolution to prescribe the method of making such improvements, of assessing the cost thereof, and of issuing bonds for cost of constructing or installing such improvements, including the costs incidental thereto.

(5) Decisions of the board concerning the formation of a local improvement district are not subject to review unless action is instituted by an eligible elector of the service authority or owner of property within the local improvement district within forty-five days after passage of the resolution to form the improvement district, and any review shall extend only to the question of whether the board exceeded its jurisdiction or abused its discretion. If a court so finds, it shall remand the matter to the board for further proceedings, consistent with such findings.

(6) (a) Where all outstanding bonds of a local improvement district have been paid and any moneys remain to the credit of such district, they shall be transferred to a special surplus and deficiency fund, and whenever there is a deficiency in any local improvement district fund to meet the payments of outstanding bonds and interest due thereon, the deficiency shall be paid out of said surplus and deficiency fund.

(b) Whenever a local improvement district has paid and canceled three-fourths of its bonds issued, and for any reason the remaining assessments are not paid in time to retire the remaining bonds of the district and the interest due thereon, and there are not sufficient moneys in the special surplus and deficiency fund, then the service authority shall pay said bonds when due and the interest due thereon and reimburse itself by collecting the unpaid assessments due said local improvement district.

(b) The proceeds of such taxes shall be placed in a special fund and shall be disbursed only for the purposes specified; except that, in lieu of such tax levies, the board may annually transfer to such special fund any available moneys of the service authority or of the special taxing district, as the case may be, but in no event shall the amount transferred in any one year exceed the amount which would result from a tax levied in such year as limited in this section.

Status: repealed

32-9-107.5. Regional fixed guideway mass transit system - authorization - completion of northwest rail fixed guideway corridor as first phase of front range passenger rail service - legislative declaration. (1) (a) The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that:

(I) The construction of a fixed guideway mass transit system in the Denver metropolitan area is a matter of statewide concern; and

(II) Such a system is necessary for economic development, commerce, and the reduction of air pollution.

(b) The general assembly further finds and declares that the development of mass transportation systems is in the best interests of the citizens of the Denver metropolitan area. The general assembly also believes that such a system should be financed by a mixture of private funds, of federal funds which have been identified for these purposes, and of receipts from a sales tax on the residents of the district.

(c) The general assembly further declares that it is the intent of this section that long-range planning continue in order to identify fixed guideway corridors as the demand is demonstrated.

(d) The general assembly further declares that, where practicable, the board should encourage the use of Colorado residents, goods, and services in implementing this section.

(e) The general assembly further declares that:

(I) The completion of construction of a fixed guideway mass transit system in the district's northwest fixed guideway corridor between Union Station in Denver and Longmont, which was promised as part of the district's FasTracks transit expansion program approved by the voters of the district in 2004 but currently operates only between Union Station and Westminster, will help rebuild confidence in the district, and it is of critical importance that every effort be made to secure sufficient funding to quickly complete that corridor;

(II) There is an opportunity to obtain significant federal money for the completion of the fixed guideway mass transit system in the district's northwest fixed guideway corridor if service extends beyond the boundaries of the district to Fort Collins and qualifies as intercity rail as a first phase of front range passenger rail service; and

(III) Accelerating the provision of fixed guideway service on the northwest rail corridor as the first phase of front range passenger rail service will not in any way slow planning, development, grant seeking, or other activities needed for the expeditious delivery of the remaining elements of front range passenger rail service or unfinished FasTracks projects. Further, existing district service will not be impacted or sacrificed as a result of planning and delivery of the first phase of front range passenger rail service. By completing the northwest portion of front range passenger rail service, which was statutorily required to be prioritized in the legislation that created the front range passenger rail district, the general assembly intends to expedite completion of the entire rail service.

(2) and (3) Repealed.
