PURPOSE/BACKGROUND
At the September 19, 2017 meeting of City Council, it was found that the service plan submitted was generally acceptable for the Brighton Crossing Metropolitan District Nos. 5-8 and it was granted conditional approval. Three conditions were placed on the item via resolution.
The conditions were as follows:
1.) A financial plan that is acceptable to City Council is received;
2.) An Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) is agreed to by City Council; and
3.) Any amendments or modifications to the service plan based on the financial plan or IGA are agreed to by City Council.
At the December 19, 2017 meeting of City Council, City staff, with consent from the applicant, requested that final approval of the item be continued to the City Council meeting on February 20, 2018 as staff and the applicant had yet to come to an agreement on the language of the IGA.
Staff and the applicant team have met and corresponded multiple times since the meeting on December 19th in order to draft an IGA that could be recommended to City Council for approval. The draft submitted by City staff to the applicant team has been declined. City staff is standing firm on the direction provided to it as to the construction and timing of 45th Avenue and Longs Peak Street.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
At this time, City staff, with agreement from the applicant, is recommending a continuation of the item to the City Council meeting scheduled for March 6, 2018.
