 No district created under the provisions of this article shall levy a marketing and promotion tax or provide services unless the local government or each member of the combination has approved an operating plan for the district. The operating plan shall specifically identify the services to be provided by the district, any marketing and promotion tax to be imposed by the district, and such additional information as required. The district shall file an operating plan and its proposed budget for the next fiscal year with the clerk of the local government or each member of the combination no later than September 30 of each year. All of the business records of the district shall be considered public records, as defined in section 24-72-202 (6) , C.R.S., and shall promptly be made available upon request. For the purposes of this section, the business records of the district shall not include the business records of the owners of property in the district. The local government or the members of the combination may require the district to supplement the district's operating plan or budget where necessary. The local government or each member of the combination shall approve or disapprove the operating plan within thirty days after receipt of such operating plan and all requested documentation relating thereto, but not later than December 5 of the year in which such documents are filed. Thereafter, the services and financial arrangements of the district shall conform so far as practicable to the operating plan. The operating plan may, from time to time, be amended by the district with the approval of the local government or each member of the combination in substantially the same manner as the process for formulating the operating plan for each year. Any material departure from the operating plan, as originally approved or amended from time to time, may be enjoined by an order of the local government filed with the board.   History.

  The boundaries of any district organized under the provisions of this article may be changed in the manner prescribed in this section, but the change of boundaries of the district shall not impair or affect its organization or its rights in or to property or any of its rights or privileges whatsoever, nor shall it affect or impair or discharge any contract, obligation, lien, or charge for or upon which the district might be liable or chargeable had any such change of boundaries not been made. The owners of property proposed to be included or excluded may file with the board a petition, in writing, requesting that such property be included in or excluded from the district.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 29 - Government - Local|Article 26 - Affordable Housing Dwelling Unit Advisory Boards|§ 29-26-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   It is in the public interest to maintain a diverse housing stock in order to preserve some diversity of housing opportunities for the state's residents and people of low- and moderate-income.    A housing shortage for persons of low- and moderate-income is detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare. In particular, the inability of such persons to reside near where they work negatively affects the balance between jobs and housing in many regions of the state and has serious detrimental transportation and environmental consequences.    As an initial step in fostering the establishment of affordable housing dwelling unit programs that will satisfy the housing needs of all the residents of a particular jurisdiction, it is appropriate for the general assembly to authorize local governments to establish affordable housing dwelling unit advisory boards.    In selecting members of the advisory boards, the governing bodies of local government shall give preference to residents of the jurisdiction who have demonstrated experience in housing matters, preferably within the territorial boundaries of the jurisdiction, as a result of their current or former experience, without limitation, as a:   Registered or certified civil engineer or architect;    Planner;    Real estate broker licensed in accordance with part 2 of article 10 of title 12;    Representative of a lending institution that finances residential development within the territorial boundaries of the local government;    Representative of the local housing authority;    Residential builder with extensive experience in producing single-family or multiple-family dwelling units;    Representative of either the public works or planning department of the local government; or    Representative of a nonprofit housing organization that provides services within the territorial boundaries of the local government.       In addition, one or more members of the board, in the discretion of the local government, shall be a resident of the jurisdiction without demonstrated experience in housing matters.       In creating this article, the general assembly intends that affordable housing dwelling unit advisory boards shall address the housing needs of low- and moderate-income persons, promote a full range of housing choices, and develop effective policies to encourage the construction and continued existence of affordable housing.

  To further the purposes of this article, as specified in section 29-26-101, the governing body of any local government may, by ordinance, establish an affordable housing dwelling unit advisory board. Any such board or similar entity in effect prior to July 1, 2001, shall continue to be in full force and effect after that date.

In developing its recommendations as to the sales prices and rental rates, the board shall consider all ordinary, necessary, and reasonable costs required to construct and market the required number of affordable housing dwelling units by private industry in the jurisdiction and other relevant information, such as the jurisdiction's general market and economic conditions.    Jurisdiction-wide affordable housing dwelling unit qualifying income guidelines;    Changes in density requirements contained in the jurisdiction's zoning or planning ordinances to encourage the provision of affordable housing;    Policies for the modification of requirements adopted in connection with an affordable housing dwelling unit program established by the local government; and    Any other matters that, in the discretion of the board, shall affect the construction and continued existence of affordable housing dwelling units or shall otherwise further the purposes of this article.         .

2021 Colorado Code|Title 29 - Government - Local|Article 28 - Medical Provider Fees|§ 29-28-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly finds and declares that:   Medicaid reimbursement rates cover only approximately sixty-five percent of the actual costs incurred by service providers rendering services to medicaid recipients;    Low medicaid reimbursement rates and increased caseloads have caused the costs to shift within the health-care delivery system, resulting in higher medical costs for the general population;    The medicaid caseload continues to expand and, therefore, the need for providers to serve these medicaid recipients continues to increase;    Rising health-care costs are a primary concern for Colorado citizens and businesses;    It is therefore in the best interest of the state of Colorado to authorize local governments to impose a fee on certain medical providers to assist in financing medicaid costs and the disproportionate share hospital payments for providing medical services to low-income populations.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 29 - Government - Local|Article 31 - Farm Stands|§ 29-31-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds, declares, and determines that:   The direct marketing of agricultural products to the public through farm stands benefits the agricultural community and the consumer by, among other benefits, providing an alternative method for agricultural producers to sell their products while supplying quality agricultural products at reasonable prices;    The direct marketing of agricultural products benefits the agriculture industry by bringing producers of agricultural goods face-to-face with consumers;    The state has a compelling interest in maximizing the promotion of agricultural goods produced or grown in Colorado and in promoting access to a wide variety of Colorado-produced agricultural products;    Farm stands allow farmers and other agricultural producers to sell fresh agricultural produce and other agricultural goods grown on the principal use site on which the farm stand is located as well as other food products made with ingredients produced on or near the principal use site; and    In many jurisdictions across the state, a farm stand is not permitted to operate if located on a principal use site that is smaller than a certain acreage size. These restrictions operate in this manner because, in many jurisdictions across the state, a principal use site cannot be classified as a farm that is able to conduct agricultural operations unless the site exceeds a certain minimum acreage requirement.       By enacting this article 31 the general assembly intends to provide a uniform and consistent permission across the state for farm stands to undertake agricultural operations on principal use sites that are smaller than a certain acreage size. Such uniformity in the law prevents inconsistent application of the law, depending upon the political subdivision in which a farm stand may be operated, and assists with the state's efforts to support to the greatest extent possible the marketing of agricultural goods produced or grown in Colorado and the promotion of a wide variety of Colorado-produced agricultural products. Toward this end, the general assembly further declares that the matters addressed in this article 31 are matters of statewide concern.     History.
