LRC started with a discussion around SB16-211 that would Limit Certain Contests Past Special District Elections. The bill was drafted to address concerns raised by the Colorado Court of Appeals’ decision in Landmark Towers Association v. UMB Bank (“Landmark”). In Landmark, the Court of Appeals decided that the electors who voted at the TABOR election to authorize the Marin Metro District to impose property taxes and issue bonds, were not qualified as electors and, therefore, that TABOR election was conducted illegally. Because the initial electors of most metro districts organized in Colorado have relied on similar purchase contracts for their eligibility to vote, the Court’s decision has raised significant concern about the validity of all past metro district elections. SB16-211 prohibits contests of special district elections on the grounds that an elector was unqualified either to vote or to serve on a special district board of directors, and otherwise validates such elections conducted. LRC adopted a support position. LRC then discussed that they would like CML’s positions on bills to be added to their notebook materials for them to use as an additional resource. The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 pm.
