Second reading of Ordinance No. 90-4, Series of 1990, AN ORDINANCE
FOR THE TOWN OF AVON, COLORADO, AMENDING CHAPTER 12.08 OF THE AVON
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS; ADDING THE DEFINITIONS
OF "UTILITY LINE PROJECT" AND "UTILITY" TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE; AND
AMENDING CHAPTER 12.08 TO AUTHORIZE THE TOWN TO CONSTRUCT UTILITY
LINE PROJECTS AS LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS AND TO PERMIT THE TOWN TO ISSUE
REGISTERED BONDS.
Norm Wood stated that this ordinance was necessary in respect to
looking at the Local Improvements District for Wildridge which would
provide natural gas service and cable television service in that area.
In order to be able to work with the cable company and the public service
company, the Town's current code needed some changes. This would allow
the Town to work with those service companies.
The Town Attorney stated that this ordinance approves the changes to the
code and allows the Town to proceed to work with the two companies.
The time table schedule was reviewed.
Councilman Garton asked if the Wildridge residents would vote on this
Special Improvements District.
Mr. Dunn stated all the residents could do would be to protest, which
would be scheduled on June 26th, 1990.
Councilman Bennett stated that the Council would set back and wait for
June 26th and the people who do not like this Special Improvements District
would protest, and the people who would want it to happen, would not
be motivated to even show up for the hearing. He stated that it was
in the best interest of the landowners in Wildridge for this to happen,
but he would guarantee that it would be just like all the other projects
the Council tried to accomplish, such as, the licensing fee, the Bond
Election. He felt it was a poor job of informing the public of what the
Council was actually trying to do.
