Pursuant to the provisions of Section 17-1 of the County's Home Rule Charter, and pursuant to the provisions of 1-40-101, C.R.S. , we are submitting the proposed petition forms to your office for approval. By separate copy of this letter, I am also forwarding copies of these documents to the County Attorney so that he may review the same in consultation with you. After considerable research, we are unable to locate in. Colorado Revised Statutes any specific form of petition which is required as relates solely to amendments of county home rule charters. While specific provisions exist at C.R.S. 31-2-22O relating to the amendment of a municipal home rule charter, the only provisions we find to be applicable relating to county home rule charter amendments are those found at C.R.S. 1-40-101, et seq. , specifically those provisions at 1-40-1O2 (6) , 1-4O-1O6(2) and 1-40-106 (3) (b) , 1-40-110, 1-40-111 and 1-40-113 . It is upon those provisions which we have relied in preparing these forms. It is, of course, well-established Colorado law that the substance of the provision to be voted upon is not within the proper realm of review prior to the time the same is enacted. Therefore, we submit respectfully to you that the only matters upon which you may lawfully comment are those having to do with the form of the proposed petitions. 941195 HAYES, PHILLIPS & MALONEY, r.C. Attorneys at Law. Mary Ann Feuerstein November 23 , 1994 Page 2 We also submit that the following should constitute the ballot title for this question: SHALL THE HOME RULE CHARTER OF WELD COUNTY, COLORADO, BE AMENDED BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 15.5 - ELECTION REQUIRED REGARDING SITING OF CORRECTIONAL OR DETENTION FACILITIES - WHICH SECTION 15.5 PROVIDES THAT, FROM AND AFTER THE DATE OF ADOPTION OF THIS SECTION 15 .5, NEITHER WELD COUNTY, NOR ANY DEPARTMENT, AGENT OR EMPLOYEE THEREOF, SHALL ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY TO ALLOW THE OCCUPANCY OR USE OF, NOR SHALL ANY PERSON, CORPORATION OR ENTITY OCCUPY, OPERATE OR USE, ANY STRUCTURE OR BUILDING WITHIN WELD COUNTY AS A CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, PRE-PAROLE FACILITY, JAIL, PRISON OR OTHER PLACE OF INCARCERATION, WHETHER OR NOT THE STRUCTURE, BUILDING OR FACILITY IS OWNED OR OPERATED AS EITHER A PUBLIC OR PRIVATE FACILITY, UNLESS AND UNTIL THE LOCATION AND SITING OF SUCH CORRECTIONAL OR DETENTION FACILITY, JAIL, PRISON, PRE- PAROLE FACILITY OR OTHER PLACE OF INCARCERATION HAS BEEN APPROVED BY A MAJORITY OF THE REGISTERED ELECTORS OF WELD COUNTY VOTING ON SUCH QUESTION AT A REGULAR OR SPECIAL ELECTION?
