SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION FIXING THE NUMBER OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE
PUEBLO URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY
SUMMARY:
This Resolution will fixes the number of Commissioners appointed to the Pueblo Urban Renewal
Authority (“PURA”) pursuant to C.R.S. 31-25-104(2)(a)(I), as amended.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Appointments to PURA are made on an annual basis.
BACKGROUND:
Resolution No. 7285, passed and approved by City Council on December 27, 1993 fixed the number
of commissioners at eleven.
C.R.S. 31-25-104(2)(a)(I) has been amended to set the number of Commissioners of an Urban
Renewal Authority (“URA”) at 13. The state statute governing membership in PURA has been
amended in three significant ways. First, it is now required that one commissioner be appointed by
agreement of the board of county commissioner of each county whose property taxes are subject
to allocation under any such plan. Secondly, where any plan managed by the authority includes an
allocation of property tax increment generated by the mill levy imposed by an special district or
school district, one such commissioner must also be a board member of a special district whose
property taxes are subject to allocation under any such plan, selected by agreement of such special
districts whose property taxes are subject to allocation under any such plan. Thirdly, one such
commissioner must also be an elected member of a board of education of a school district, selected
by agreement of the school district whose property taxes are subject to allocation under any such
plan.
