2021 Colorado Code|Title 32 - Special Districts|Article 11 - Urban Drainage and Flood Control Act|Part 5 - Indebtedness and Financial Provisions|§ 32-11-568. Administration of Escrow or Trust

  No such escrow or trust shall necessarily be limited to proceeds of refunding bonds but may include other moneys available for its purpose.    Any proceeds in escrow or trust, pending such use, may be invested or reinvested in securities meeting the investment requirements established in part 6 of article 75 of title 24, C.R.S.    Any trust bank accounting for federal securities and other securities issued by the federal government in such escrow or trust may place them for safekeeping wholly or in part in any trust bank within or without or both within and without this state.    Any trust bank shall continuously secure any moneys placed in escrow or trust and not so invested or reinvested in federal securities and other securities issued by the federal government by a pledge in any trust bank within or without or both within and without the state of federal securities in an amount at all times at least equal to the total uninvested amount of such moneys accounted for in such escrow or trust.    Such proceeds and investments in escrow or trust, together with any interest or other gain to be derived from any such investment, shall be in an amount at all times at least sufficient to pay principal, interest, any prior redemption premiums due, and any charges of the escrow agent or trustee, and any other incidental expenses payable therefrom, except to the extent provision may have been previously otherwise made therefor, as such obligations become due at their respective maturities or due at designated prior redemption dates in connection with which the board has exercised or is obligated to exercise a prior redemption option on behalf of the district.    The computations made in determining such sufficiency shall be verified by a certified public accountant licensed to practice in this state or in any other state.     History.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 32 - Special Districts|Article 11 - Urban Drainage and Flood Control Act|Part 6 - Special Assessments|§ 32-11-603. Provisional Order Method

  Whenever the board is of the opinion that the interest of the urban district requires any assessment project, the board, by resolution, shall direct the engineer to prepare:   Preliminary plans showing:   A typical section of the contemplated project; and    The types of material, approximate thickness, and width;       A preliminary estimate of the cost of the project, including incidental costs; and    An assessment plat showing:   The area to be assessed; and    The amount of maximum benefits estimated to be assessed against each tract in each assessment area.          The resolution may provide for one or more types of construction, and the engineer shall separately estimate the cost of each type of construction. The estimate may be made in a lump sum or by unit process, as to such engineer may seem most desirable for the facilities complete in place.    The resolution shall describe the project in general terms.    The resolution shall state:   What part or portion of the expense thereof is of special benefit, and, therefore, shall be paid by assessments;    What part, if any, has been or is proposed to be defrayed with moneys derived from other than the levy of assessments; and    The basis by which the cost will be apportioned and assessments will be levied.       In case the assessment is not to be made according to front feet, the resolution shall:   By apt description designate the improvement district, including the tracts to be assessed;    Describe definitely the location of the project; and    State that the assessment is to be made upon all the tracts benefited by the project proportionately to the benefits received.       In case the assessment is to be upon the abutting property upon a frontage basis, it shall be sufficient for the resolution so to state and to define the location of the project to be made.    It shall not be necessary in any case to describe minutely in the resolution each particular tract to be assessed but simply to designate the property, improvement district, or the location so that the various parts to be assessed can be ascertained and determined to be within or without the proposed improvement district.    The engineer shall forthwith prepare and file with the secretary:   The preliminary plans;    The preliminary estimate of cost; and    The assessment plat.       Upon the filing of the plans, preliminary estimate of cost, and plat, the board shall examine the same; and if the plans, estimate, and plat are found to be satisfactory, the board shall make a provisional order by resolution to the effect that the project shall be acquired or improved, or both acquired and improved.

  More than one improvement program may be combined in one improvement district when the board determines such programs may be combined together in an efficient and an economical improvement district.    If in the combination of improvement programs, they are separate and distinct by reason of substantial difference in their character or location, or otherwise, each such program shall be considered as a unit or quasi-improvement district for the purpose of petition, remonstrance, and assessment.    In case of such combination, the board shall designate the improvement program and the area constituting each such unit, and, in the absence of an arbitrary and an unreasonable abuse of discretion, its determination that there is or is not such a combination and its determination of the project and the area constituting each such unit within the project shall be final and conclusive.    The costs of acquiring or improving, or acquiring and improving, each such improvement program shall be segregated for the levy of assessments, and an equitable share of the incidental costs shall be allocated to each such unit.

  No estimate of cost required or authorized in this article shall constitute a limitation upon such cost or a limitation upon the rights and powers of the board or of any officers, agents, or employees of the urban district, except as otherwise expressly stated in this article.    No assessment, however, shall exceed the amount of the estimate of maximum special benefits from the project to any tract assessed.     History. Source: L. 69: P. 787, § 120.

  After the provisional order hearing is held and after the board has disposed of all complaints, protests, and objections, verbal and in writing, the board shall determine whether to proceed with the improvement district and with each assessment unit therein, if there is more than one.    If the board desires to proceed and desires any modification, by motion or by resolution, it shall direct the engineer to prepare and to present to the board:   A revised and detailed estimate of the total cost, including without limitation the cost of acquiring or improving, or acquiring and improving, each proposed improvement program and of each of the incidental costs, which revised estimate shall not constitute a limitation for any purpose, except as otherwise provided in this article;    Full and detailed plans and specifications for each proposed improvement program designed to permit and to encourage competition among the bidders if any improvements are to be acquired by construction contract; and    A revised map and assessment plat showing, respectively, the location of each improvement program and the tracts to be assessed therefor, excluding any area or program not before the board at a provisional order hearing.       That resolution, a separate resolution, or the resolution creating the improvement district may combine or may divide the proposed improvement program or programs pertaining to the improvement district and any other facilities into suitable construction units for the purpose of letting separate and independent contracts, regardless of the extent of any improvement program constituting an assessment unit and regardless of whether a portion or none of the cost of any project is to be defrayed other than by the levy of special assessments.    Nothing in this article shall be construed as not requiring the segregation of costs of unrelated improvement programs for assessment purposes, as provided in this article.     History.

The engineer may further revise such cost, plans and specifications, and the map and assessment plat from time to time for all or any part of any project; and the resolution may be appropriately amended prior to letting any construction contract therefor and prior to any property being acquired or any work being done other than by independent contract let by the urban district.
