Title
Discussion/Direction: Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement for the Douglas County Housing Partnership
Body
______________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
Since the City of Castle Pines has requested to be a member of the Douglas County Housing Partnership (DCHP), the DCHP is proposing to amend and reinstate the existing Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA).
Discussion
The DCHP Board reviewed the existing IGA between the various member jurisdictions as part of the City of Castle Pine’s interest in joining DCHP. The current members include Douglas County, City of Lone Tree, Town of Parker, and the Town of Castle Rock. Approved in 2003, the current IGA contains bylaws, which are now a separate document. The IGA is also due for an update based on Colorado Statute for multijurisdictional authorities. The DCHP’s attorney and Board revised the IGA (Attachment A) to remove the bylaws and to add the required language per the Colorado Statute. The attached Amended and Restated IGA is color coded to distinguish parts that the state requires in yellow and parts that the DCHP Board asked to be included in gray. Please note that Section 7.01.g includes required Colorado Statute language regarding DCHP’s authority to condemn property. DCHP would only use their condemnation authority within the Town of Castle Rock with the Town Council’s concurrence. Staff does not have concerns with the proposed amendments. The final Amended and Restated IGA would come before Council for a formal decision later this summer.
Proposed Motion
“I move to direct staff to place this amended IGA on a future Town Council agenda with no revisions.”
OR
“I move to direct staff to provide revision recommendations to DCHP for future consideration.”
