RECITALS:

 

The Grand Junction, Colorado, Downtown Development Authority (“Authority” or “DDA”) adopted a Plan of Development (“Plan”) establishing the boundaries of the Authority. The Plan and the boundaries of the DDA were initially approved by the Grand Junction City Council on December 16, 1981.

Since that time individual property and business owners, pursuant to §31-25-822, 12A C.R.S. and Article X of the Authority’s Plan of Development, have petitioned for inclusion within the boundaries of the Authority.

The DDA Board recently awarded a grant to the Mesa County Library Board of Trustees to be used for capital improvements to the main library property. In exchange, the Board of Trustees agreed that receipt of the funds was conditioned upon the inclusion of Mesa County Library District properties into the Authority’s boundaries.

The DDA Board requests Council’s approval to expand the Authority’s boundary to include the Mesa County Library District properties within the Plan’s area in accordance with state law, the Plan of Development and other applicable law, rules or regulations.
