The Splash Bulletin Board WELCOME TO CCMD Welcome and thank you for your interest in learning more about our district and its governing body. Public involvement is central to our resource management efforts and through these pages we want to provide you with a comprehensive listing of information about our Board and their actions. Colorado Centre Metropolitan District is governed by a locally elected 5 member Board of Directors. The members of the Board live in the Colorado Centre community and abide by the same rates and rules as all the other customers. The Board, which establishes policies and fees for CCMD, invites the public to attend and participate in its monthly meetings held at the District office at 4770 Horizonview Drive. The next scheduled Board Meeting will take place on Thursday July 22, 2010. You are welcome to review a comprehensive library of past board meetings, agendas, minutes and resolutions. The 2010 BUDGET WAS APPROVED AT THE DECEMBER 11, 2009 MEETING. Colorado Centre Metropolitan District has been serving the community since 1984 and is dedicated to providing the best and most economical water and sewer services to our customers! 2010 ELECTION RESULTS!!

Regional Water Reclamation Facility The Ground Breaking for the new Harold D. Thompson Regional Water Reclamation Facility was held on May 13, 2010. This facility will serve the Jimmy Camp Creek Basin and has an ultimate build out treatment capacity of 6.0 million gallons per day (mgd). PROGRESS OF THE LFMSDD Water Treatment Facility is noted in the Colorado Public Works Journal Volume 6, Issue 5 – 2010. CCMD was part of the November 4, 2008 Coordinated Election and the Ballot question 5A concerning the funding of the LFMSDD new regional wastewater treatment plant project had a majority of yes votes. Thank you to all who participated in the election. Please read the information packet (prepared by Al Testa) regarding the: LFMSDD’s Plant & Interceptor Financing. HOT NEWS!! Fire Station Now Open By: Al Testa, District Manager After two public hearings and an extensive survey of the residents, customers and property owners within the District, the Board adopted a resolution that allowed it to activate “First Responder Fire and Emergency Services” in support of the Colorado Springs Fire Department services to our area. The unfortunate component of any service is that it cannot be offered at no-cost; therefore, the Board adopted a fee schedule that will charge $29.86 per month per residential account and $179.11 per month per commercial account. Vacant land will not be charged a fee. We expect that continuing development within the District will allow more participation in the fees, consequently allowing these to be reduced in the future, unless the community wants to increase the service to four fire fighters instead of two and if inflation is below the revenue generated by the new accounts. The process that yielded these results was not taken lightly. All accounts holders of the District are welcome to attend the District’s meetings to find out how the money that they pay is allocated and spent. Thank you to the Board and the thirteen resident committee members for all their hard work distributing the surveys and informing their neighbors so that every resident had an opportunity to make an informed response regarding activating First Responder Fire and Emergency Services. Please attend the Board Meetings for current information regarding long term goals and the future of the Fire Station. A decision was made NOT to participate in the El Paso County Coordinated Election in November, 2009 to determine whether to keep the fire station open. Director Cantin and Edwards reviewed the original surveys regarding this issue and compared them to the El Paso County list of eligible registered voters and the results were the same (62% yes and 38% against in the first survey; registererd voter breakdown was 62% yes and 38% no and non-registered breakdown was 62.5% yes and 37.5% no). After reviewing all the surveys and having discussions about the costs of having an election, the Board made a Motion to not participate in the election. The Motion was unanimously approved. The Board did determine that it is in the best interests of the District to have a clearly defined policy as to any citizen intiative proposed on a District matter. The District values the input provided by its residents and property owners and it attempts to be responsive to all such input and ultimately to act in the best interest of all District residents and property owners. At the same time, the District has limited financial means to hold an election every time a segment of District residents or property owners disagreees with a Board action or decision. Therefore, the overall Policy objective is to ensure the rights of District residents and property owners to pursue initiative, while also allowing the District to efficiently manage its affairs without every District Board action potentially becoming the subject of an initiative effort. For additional information regarding the policy/Resolution please read the Policy Regarding Citizen Initiatives. For additional information read the Fire & Emergency Services Information Sheet. Please read the Fire Station History and Facts for more information regarding First Responder Fire Services. New or moving to Colorado Centre? Be sure to look at our Welcome Packet! Park Issues! It has come to our attention that there have been several incidents observed in our new park of possible vandalism. Parents, please talk to your children about the benefits of respecting community resources. The District is in the process of planning future park facilities and appreciates that the current facilities are not geared toward pre-teens and teenagers. We invite your ideas and input as to what types of facilities the District should consider for this age group when installing park equipment in the future. If anyone observes any type of vandalism or destruction in the park areas please call the CCMD office. 390-7000.
