Town to ask residents to change charter in November election

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Although there are no new candidates or town council members up for reelection this fall, Parker citizens will be asked to weigh in on multiple ballot questions in coordination with the Douglas County election.

On May 1, the town council passed a resolution in order to participate in the Nov. 7 election. Under the Uniform Election Code, the town and county must enter into an intergovernmental agreement, or IGA, to conduct the election.

e town has appropriated $45,000 for the 2023 special election in the budget.

It is estimated the coordinated election will cost $75,000 due to the length of the town’s ballot questions.
