For example, the more than $760 million in bonds that the Baseline Metropolitan District can issue is about 72% greater than the city and county of Broomfield’s total outstanding debt, according to Broomfield’s latest comprehensive financial statement. Collectively, the 2,300 metro districts in Colorado hold more than $1 trillion in debt, which dwarfs the state of Colorado’s more than $37 billion of total debt.
“Unchecked, some of these financial structures could easily lead down a road of mass foreclosures or whole communities defaulting,” Sorensen said.
Metro districts also don’t seem to be helping to make Colorado homes more affordable. Colorado’s median home price has skyrocketed by more than 93% over the last decade from about $288,000 to more than $558,000 as of March 2023.
Rents for a two-bedroom apartment in major cities like Denver and Boulder have also increased significantly. In Denver, rents have increased by 120% from about $830 in 2013 to about $1,967 today, according to data from RentCafe. Boulder’s average rent has increased by 137% over the same time period, from about $1,060 to more than $2,300, according to RentCafe.
Recent reform efforts
Despite some glaring issues with metro districts, legislative reform efforts have been hard to come by in part because of the strong lobbying efforts from developers.
Colorado lawmakers introduced multiple bills during the 2023 legislative session aimed at metro districts. One bill, House Bill 23-1090, sought to prohibit the directors of metro districts from purchasing the bonds that they issue through another entity. It was introduced by Democrat Rep. Mike Weisman of Aurora and Sen. Robert Rodriguez of Denver.
Weisman told the House Finance Committee that the bill is designed to create “higher restraint” on the part of metro district directors before they issue debt on behalf of the homeowners they represent.
“I want to be clear that there is a role for government debt. The state
Turn To The Colorado Sun For News Across The State
The Colorado Sun is a journalist-owned, award-winning news outlet that strives to cover all of Colorado so that our state — our community — can better understand itself.
In this way, The Sun contributes to a more vibrant, informed and whole Colorado. The Sun, launched in 2018, is committed to fact-based, in-depth and non-partisan journalism. It covers everything from politics and culture to the outdoor industry and has it for school and fire districts,” Weisman told the committee. “But in just about every other case, those who purchase the debt do so at an arm’s length from those who issue it.”
However, HB23-1090 attracted significant pushback from groups like the Associated Builders and Contractors Rocky Mountain Chapter, the International Council of Shopping Centers, and the Colorado Chamber of Commerce to name a few. The Senate Local Government & Housing Committee voted to postpone the bill indefinitely by a 4-3 margin at the end of March.
Instead, lawmakers passed Senate Bill 23-110, a bipartisan bill that explicitly allows metro district directors to purchase this kind of debt. SB23-110 also requires additional transparency from metro districts regarding the debt issued and requires the entity to get the opinion of a registered municipal advisor regarding the market fairness of the debt incurred.
SB23-110 also gained the support of many lobbyists who did not support HB23-1090 such as the Adams County Regional Economic Partnership, the Colorado Infrastructure Council, and the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.
Supporters of the bill like Maryann McGeady, an attorney with McGeady Becher P.C., a law firm that represents special districts, told lawmakers that SB23-110 ensures there is a standard set of best practices for all metro districts to follow. This includes clarifying information that needs to be included in a metro district’s service plan and which entities will be responsible for maintaining the district after it is complete.
But Colorado residents like Alex Plotkin, who lives in Boulder, told lawmakers that SB23-110 would simply add to the financial problems that homeowners in metro districts face.
“Statewide, this is becoming a multi-billion dollar issue with no signs of abating,” Plotkin told lawmakers in March. “So as the citizens of Colorado are struggling financially, representatives at all levels are further exacerbating the issue by enabling additional financial burden on countless citizens who have no say in the matter.” education. at 6:15 p.m. at the Municipal Building, 8101 Ralston Road, Arvada CO, City Council will hold a public hearing on the following proposed ordinances and thereafter will consider them for final passage and adoption.
