He stated the issue will be placed on the November ballot to determine the boundaries and the taxing.

Commissioner Vaad stated all the entities have indicated they will pass similar Resolutions; however, the status of the City of Fort Collins is still uncertain.

Mr. Barker stated this is for the creation of a new jurisdiction, with each of the entities only being a portion within a larger boundary. He further stated it is unlikely the issue will fail in one of the larger entities. Responding to Mr. Warden, Mr. Barker stated this creates a new authority which will be governed by the appointees to the Authority rather than future elected officials of the 13 participating entities. He further stated the provision is being used to ensure that one of the larger entities does not opt out leaving a large hole in the authority boundary. Commissioner Vaad added it will be viewed more favorably by bonding companies if the agencies involved are certain. Commissioner Vaad moved to approve said Resolution. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Geile. Commissioner Jerke stated he does not support the Resolution at this time because the ballot issues have not been finalized, yet the Board will not be able to opt out regardless of the election outcome. Upon a call for the vote, the motion carried four to one, with Commissioner Jerke opposed. (Clerk's Note: Commissioner Geile reported on issues that are detailed above under Commissioner Coordinator Reports.) RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
