Cherry Hills City Metropolitan District

Overview

The Cherry Hills City Metropolitan District is a Title 32 Special District that has been established for the purpose of financing and installing street, park and recreation, water, sanitation, transportation, mosquito control, safety protection, limited fire protection, and limited television relay and translation improvements of the District; and all other improvements or services permitted by Article 1, Title 32, C.R.S. (collectively, the “Public Improvements and Services”), except as specifically limited by the Service Plan for the District approved by the City of Aurora, Colorado on July 24, 2006, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Service Plan”).

The Public Improvements and Services are for the use and benefit of the residents and taxpayers of the District. The District is located in the City of Aurora, Arapahoe County, Colorado. The District is a quasi-municipal political subdivision of the State of Colorado authorized to provide specialized services that the City of Aurora does not provide.

The District may incur a maximum debt of $10,000,000. Any and all legally available revenues of the District, including ad valorem property tax revenues and specific ownership tax revenues, may be used to repay such debt.

The District may assess a maximum mill levy of fifty (50) mills (subject to adjustment for changes in the method of calculating assessed valuation or any constitutionally mandated tax credit, cut or abatement occurring on or after January 1, 2004) to repay such debt.

The District must file an Annual Report with the City of Aurora and the Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder.

The District boundaries overlap with the boundaries of Joint School District No. 28J (Aurora Public Schools), Arapahoe County, City of Aurora, Regional Transportation District, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District – South Platte, and West Arapahoe Conservation District.
