Boulder County files objections to lawsuit over paving district plan – Boulder Daily Camera.
Boulder County, not surprisingly, disagrees with a lawsuit’s contention that the county commissioners don’t have the legal authority to form a Local Improvement District that will bill rural residential subdivision property owners the bulk of the costs of rehabilitating those subdivisions’ paved roads.
On Thursday, Boulder County asked the Boulder District Court to dismiss most of the claims in a lawsuit that eight subdivision property owners filed on Nov. 20. Thursday’s response from the Boulder County Attorney’s Office denied many of the lawsuit’s remaining allegations.
And of course, the heart of the lawsuit, the meaning of the word “maintenance”
Boulder County denied in its Thursday response that the kinds of repaving and rehabilitation improvements to be done under the LID — including chip sealing, asphalt overlays and road reconstruction — would constitute road “maintenance.”
Which of course they would do. The fun and games have begun, grab your popcorn and head down to the courthouse.
