§ 30-20-702 — County may establish districts

(1) Whenever a county has
acquired property for recreational purposes, as authorized in sections 29-7-101 to
29-7-104, C.R.S., such county may establish a recreation district. This district shall
be composed of the unincorporated area benefited by the establishment of the
proposed recreational facility, the boundaries to be designated by the board of
county commissioners. If a county planning commission has been created in the
county under the authority of part 1 of article 28 of this title, it is the duty of such
planning commission, upon request from the board of county commissioners, to
formulate a tentative plan for the formation of such recreation district. The plan
shall include recommendations as to the area to be benefited and boundaries and
powers of the district. Upon completion of the plan, the county planning
commission shall certify such plan to the board of county commissioners.

(2) Before the creation of a recreation district, a hearing thereon shall be
held by the board of county commissioners to ascertain the sentiment of residents
of the area toward the establishment of such a district. Notice of the hearing,
stating the time, place, date, and purpose of the hearing, and including a
description of the proposed boundaries, shall be published once weekly for three
consecutive weeks in a newspaper published and of general circulation in the
county.

(3) After the hearing, the board of county commissioners, at any regularly
scheduled meeting, may change, amend, reject, or adopt the plan formulated and
certified by the county planning commission and by resolution create a recreation
district.
