2021 Colorado Code|Title 32 - Special Districts|Article 4 - Water and Sanitation Districts|Part 5 - Metropolitan Sewage Disposal Districts|§ 32-4-515. Exclusion of Territory

  Should the governing body of any municipality which is included within the district determine by ordinance, adopted after a public hearing called and held as provided in section 32-4-508 (1)(d), that said municipality or any portion thereof cannot feasibly be served by the district's facilities, such municipality may file with the district a certified copy of such ordinance and request that said municipality or a designated portion thereof be excluded from the district.    Upon receipt of such ordinance the board of directors of the district shall cause an investigation to be made to determine whether or not the municipality or the designated portion thereof can feasibly be served by the district's facilities.      Upon completion of said investigation, and in any event not later than ninety days from the filing of the ordinance with the district, the board of directors of the district shall by resolution determine that the area sought to be excluded can or cannot be feasibly served by the district's facilities. If the board of directors of the district determines that the area can feasibly be served by the district's facilities, the exclusion sought shall be denied.    If the board of directors of the district determines that the area sought to be excluded cannot feasibly be served by the district's facilities, the board of directors of the district shall adopt a resolution excluding the area from the district, and a certified copy of such resolution shall forthwith be filed with the director of the division of local government in the department of local affairs, who shall forthwith issue a certificate of exclusion describing the territory so excluded and shall transmit to the clerk of the municipality three certified copies of such certificate of exclusion, and the clerk of the municipality shall forthwith record a copy of such certificate in the office of the county clerk and recorder of each county in which the municipality may be located and shall deliver a copy to the county assessor and the county treasurer of each county in which the municipality is located; but, so long as any securities of the district are outstanding, no exclusion of territory shall be made which will reduce the revenue of the district, nor shall any exclusion of territory reduce the district's minimum charges and charges for availability of service.
