CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

RESOLUTION NO.  07-11

A RESOLUTION APPOINTING A DESIGNATED VOTER FOR THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION TO CAST A VOTE IN THE SPECIAL ELECTION SCHEDULED APRIL 5, 2011 REGARDING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DEBT

Recitals.

On January 31, 2011, the Grand Junction City Council adopted Resolution No. 06-11 which directed that a question be submitted to the qualified electors of the Downtown Development Authority on a mail ballot April 5, 2011, which if approved, will authorize an increase in the maximum incurred debt and modify the purposes of the Downtown Development Authority.

The provisions of 31-25-801 et seq, C.R.S. define how such an election will be conducted and define qualified electors as “a resident, a landowner, or a lessee as said terms are defined in this section.” Further the law states that “any landowner or lessee which is not a natural person may vote only if it designates by some official action a representative thereof to cost its ballot.”

The City is a landowner and is not a natural person and therefore must designate a representative to vote in the election.

The appointment of a representative by this Resolution satisfies the legal requirements.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT:

City Manager Laurie Kadrich is the designated representative to cast a ballot for the April 5, 2011 election on behalf of the City of Grand Junction for the Downtown Development Authority question.

Approved this 31^st day of January, 2011.

             President of the Council
