The District’s Service Plan, which was approved by the City of Colorado Springs on September 06, 2005 - as amended on March 11, 2008 - authorizes the District to issue up to $100 million in debt over a term not to exceed 40 years. The repayment of the District’s debt can exceed 40 years if the majority of the District’s Board are residents of the District and the District’s Board has voted in favor of refunding a part or all of the District’s debt (which must result in a net present value savings). The District’s Amended and Restated Service Plan also establishes a Maximum Mill levy the District is permitted to impose on taxable property within the District for the payment of debt. As long as the District’s total outstanding debt exceeds 50% of the assessed valuation of all taxable property within the District, the Maximum Debt Mill Levy is 50 mills, as adjusted by the State of Colorado for changes in the ratio of taxable valuation to assessed valuation of real property since January 01, 2008. As of January 01, 2008, the residential property assessment ratio was 7.96%. The ratio for 2026 was 6.25%, which caused the District’s Maximum Mill Levy for debt service for 2026 to be 37.482. In 2018, the District issued bonds with a covenant to levy up to a maximum of 30 mills to fund the repayment of debt as adjusted by the State of Colorado for changes in the ratio of taxable valuation to assessed valuation of real property since January 01, 2008. As of January 01, 2008, the residential property assessment ratio was 7.96%. The ratio for 2026 was 6.25%, which caused the District’s Maximum Mill Levy for debt service for 2026 to be 37.482.
