Mr. Childers represented eligible special districts located within the URAD/municipal boundaries. In June, the Carbon Valley Parks and Recreation District contacted the URAD requesting the appointment of a new eligible representative. On July 13, 2022, notices were sent to all taxing districts levying a mill within the URAD/municipal boundaries, notifying them of the vacancy of a special district representative seat to the Board of Directors of the Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono. The notice indicated if there were no objections to this Carbon Valley Parks and Recreation District appointee, the vacancy would be filled at the next URAD meeting. Attached is a letter from Carbon Valley Recreation District requesting the appointment of Bill Haid. The appointment is anticipated to be for a term of five (5) years; however, certain appointments may be vacated if the appointee’s term on the originating board expires during that term.  URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO RESOLUTION NO. 22-06 A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING AN APPOINTMENT OF A COMMISSIONER TO THE URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO WHEREAS, H.B. 15-1348 effected changes to Urban Renewal Law, C.R.S. § 31-25- 101, et. seq., including the provisions establishing membership of the boards of urban renewal authorities; WHEREAS, by Resolution 15-18 the City Council declared it to be in the public interest that an Urban Renewal Authority be created and designated the City Council of the City of Dacono as the governing body of the Economic Development Authority of Dacono; WHEREAS, C.R.S. § 31-25-104(2.5) provides, in part: “[I]n order to represent the collective interests of the county and all trucing bodies levying a mill levy within the boundaries of the urban renewal authority area other than the municipality, one additional commissioner on the authority must be appointed by the board of county commissioners of the county in which the territorial boundaries of the urban renewal authority area are located, one additional commissioner must also be a board member of a special district selected by agreement of the special districts levying a mill levy within the boundaries of the urban renewal authority area, and one additional commissioner must also be an elected member of a board of education of a school district levying a mill levy within the boundaries of the urban renewal authority area.
