The Service Plan was drafted according to the recently adopted Model Service Plan.

The Service Plan was conditionally approved by City Council on September 19, 2017.The Plan was submitted in a multiple district format as the applicant desires to create four new districts out of one large existing district (Brighton Crossing District No. 4).
The formal applicant, the Districts' organizer, Brookfield Residential LLC, and their team is additionally comprised of counsel, White Bear Ankele Tanaka & Waldron; financial advisor, D.A. Davidson and Co.; and engineering firm, Redland Consulting Group Inc.
The Districts had an organizational deadline of September 20th as determined by the State Statutes, and that is why they sought conditional approval at the Council meeting on September 19th. City Council did conditionally approve the Service Plan with three conditions.
The conditions were as follows:

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.
