Body
SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• On Sept. 18, Town staff received the attached Petition from the property owners to form the Erie Indoor Sports BID.
• State law requires Council to adopt a resolution setting the date and time for a public hearing to consider the Petition and proposed District.
• Approving the Resolution would set the public hearing for Tues., Nov. 4, at 6:30 p.m. at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Erie Town Council.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Town received a Petition from the primary property owners requesting formation of the Erie Indoor Sports Business Improvement District under Part 12, Article 25, Title 31, Colorado Revised Statutes. The proposed District would include approximately 36.1 acres at the southeast corner of County Line Road and Bonnell Avenue.
The District intends to finance, construct, operate, and maintain public improvements to support development of the Erie Indoor Sports project, including roads, utilities, landscaping, marketing, security, and other eligible improvements. State law requires Town Council to set a formal Public Hearing to review the Petition and determine if statutory conditions for organization are met before adopting an ordinance establishing the District.
Approving the Resolution would initiate the formal process required by State statutes and directs publication and mailing of the required public hearing notice.
