Mayor Shul Proposes Eleven New Metro Districts

In a few weeks city council will hear public comment and vote on the annexation of The Canyons development. The annexation documents provide for the creation of eleven new metro districts with property tax debt ceilings set nearly three times higher than CPN's existing 24 mills.

Shul has often argued for "integration" of services in Castle Pines North. Claiming that integration will lead to substantial cost savings for CPN residents, city officials have sought the dissolution of the CPN Metro District and a corresponding transfer of budgets, money and operational oversight to the city's corporate service provider, CH2M Hill.

It seems ironic to me that the mayor and city council can advocate with a straight face the elimination of one district while passing legislation to create eleven more.

As Mayor, I would work to see that residents of CPN are provided accurate information on which to assess the viability of future projects.
