The most recent pro forma for the District and preliminary bond issuance estimates indicate that the District has a higher debt capacity that originally approved. This proposed increase will allow for the District to finance a greater portion of the public improvements necessary to support the Development.

Amendments to the operating plan and budget require Council approval pursuant to CRS Section 31-25-1211. This amendment is needed as the District wishes to issue bonds later this month.
BACKGROUND:
On September 19, 2023, council approved the formation of the Mineral Business Improvement District along with their 2023-2024 Operating Plan and Budget.
