RESOLUTION 2014-_
WHEREAS, the Johnstown Fire Protection District (District), is a Colorado Title 32 Special District of
the State of Colorado, duly organized and existing under the Constitution and the laws of the State of
Colorado; and
WHEREAS, the members of the Board of Directors of the District (Board) have been duly elected,
chosen and qualified; and
WHEREAS in 1999, the electors of the District approved a ballot issue that provided for an increase
of 2.0 mills with 1.0 mills of such tax increase designated solely for "capital funds"; and
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the interests of the District, the public interest, and the
financial integrity of the District demand and require that the District seek voter approval (as
required by Busse v. City of Golden, 73 P.3d 460 (Colo. 2003) for changing the use of the proceeds
from such 1999 special additional mill levy to provide additional funds for the District's general
operating expenses to more adequately provide for the public's safety and welfare; and
WHEREAS, October 7, 2014, is one of the election dates at which ballot issues may be submitted to
the eligible electors of the District pursuant to Sec. 32-1-103 (21) C.R.S. and Sec. 32-1-804, C.R.S.;
and
WHEREAS, the change of use of the proceeds does not constitute a TABOR election because such
ballot question, if approved by the voters, would not create a new tax or a change in tax policy
resulting in new tax revenues as explained in Bruce v. City of Colorado Springs, 129 P3d 988 (Colo.
2006); and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to submit to the eligible electors of the District, at the election, the
proposition of changing the designated and permissible use of the tax proceeds from the 1999
