The passage of Amendment 1 (the TABOR Amendment) by the Colorado voters in 1992, required the City to form enterprises in order for its utilities to be able to issue municipal bonds without an election. Since that time,all utility bonds have been issued by the appropriate utility enterprise. However, the City Charter grants only the Council the power i to appropriate funds. Therefore,this action by the Council is necessary in order to appropriate bond proceeds for the Wastewater Utility. Authorizing the issuance of the bonds and appropriating the proceeds are both necessary to complete the bond transaction. • 3
