SUMMARY:
For the past 45 years, the city has entered into contracts with CDOT for reimbursement of costs associated with the operation and maintenance of traffic control devices on state highways within Littleton, per Senate Bill No. 8 of 1974. This law requires CDOT to assume these costs.

The reimbursement rate was negotiated by the Public Works Director. An annual amount of $45,240 was agreed to with the state for the five-year term of the agreement.
