Sherwood Meadows Townhomes
Assistant Town Manager Brooks stated this resolution authorizes to proceed with the
purchase of 11 of the 20 units in the Sherwood Meadows complex. The 11 units are
currently held by one owner and this resolution will authorize the staff to proceed with
the necessary work with bond counsel. It will take approximately 14 weeks to complete
the process if it does come about.

Resolution No. 00-05, Series of 2000, A Resolution of Consent for the Eagle River Fire
Protection District
Town Manager Efting stated this resolution is the first step toward a regional fire district.
This resolution will put the question on the May election ballot. The mills are not to
exceed 3.8. The district will be broken into five wards, Avon is in two of the five wards.
This matter does have to pass the May election.
Councilor McDevitt asked what it would take to leave the district. Town Attorney Levin
stated there is a section in the State code that allows an area to remove itself from the
special district. A petition has to be filed in court for removal. Voters in the special
district would have to be given notice of that case and be given an opportunity to be
heard. The Town would have to satisfy to the court that the Town could provide the
services at the same level as the special district had been providing. Also, there would be
the matter of moving the property. Current property owned by the Town would be sold
to the district, upon removal from the district the property would have to be put back in
the condition they are in now. That would take negotiations between the special district
and the Town. The State code spells out the process. Also, the majority of the property
owners could petition the court for removal. It could also be removed by a ballot
election.
Councilor McDevitt asked how the transfer of assets works. Mr. Levin stated that it is his
understanding that our current assets will be ours until we enter into an agreement with
the district. Councilor McDevitt asked if the Town could lease the assets and never
transfer them. Mr. Levin felt that yes we could do that. Town Manager Efting stated the
intent since the beginning is that the stations and the land will stay with those that own
them. As far as the vehicles, everyone will be paying for them.
Councilor McDevitt stated he wanted to be sure that we have the ability to get out if the
Wildridge staffing does not happen.
Councilor Reynolds questioned how much time it would take to go through the courts.
Mr. Levin said he would expect 6-8 months.
Mayor Protem McIlveen motioned approval of Resolution No. 00-05, Series of 2000.
Councilor Reynolds seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
