Governance
Metropolitan District – General Explanation
The Jefferson Center Metropolitan District No. 2 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 television relay and translation improvements within and without the boundaries of the District, including the great “Jefferson Center Development Area”; 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 Arvada, Colorado, on March 1, 2004, 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 and the Jefferson Center Development Area. The District is located in the City of Arvada, Jefferson County, Colorado. The District is a quasi-municipal political subdivision of the State of Colorado authorized to provide specialized services that the City of Arvada does not provide. The District is one of six Title 32 Special Districts, which include Jefferson Center Metropolitan District No. 1, Vauxmont Metropolitan District, Cimarron Metropolitan District, Canyon Pines Metropolitan District, and Mountain Shadows Metropolitan District (together with the District, the “Jefferson Center Districts”), that serve the Jefferson Center Development Area. The Jefferson Center Districts each operate as distinct and separate entities.
The District may incur a maximum debt in the form of revenue bonds of $450,000,000. Pledged revenues from the remaining Jefferson Center Districts may be used to repay such revenue bonds. To the extent the District determines to issue debt in the form of general obligation bonds, it will need to seek authority from its electorate and will be limited to an amount of general obligation bonds not to exceed $400,000,000. Ad valorem property tax revenues (discussed below), specific ownership tax revenues, tax increment revenues, and other legally available revenues of the District may be used to repay such general obligation bonds.
The District may assess a maximum mill levy of fifty (50) mills to repay such general obligation bonds. Such maximum mill levy is subject to adjustment if there are changes in the method of calculating assessed valuation or any constitutionally mandated tax credit, cut or abatement on or after January 1, 2004.
The District must file an Annual Report to the City of Arvada and the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder.
The District boundaries overlap with the boundaries of Jefferson Center Metropolitan District No. 1, Jefferson County School District No. R1, Jefferson County, Arvada Fire Protection District, Apex Park & Recreation District, City of Arvada, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District – South Platte, Regional Transportation District, and Moffat Tunnel Improvement District.
