(2) (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection (2), a service
authority shall include all of the territory of at least one county and may include
such additional entire counties as may be proposed, if each county has some
contiguity with another county within the service authority and does not result in
the formation of an enclave.

(b) In no event shall any service authority be formed in the metropolitan area
of Denver which does not include that part of Adams county excluding census
enumeration districts 1, 2, and 3 of the east Adams division, and that part of
Arapahoe county excluding census enumeration districts 1, 2, and 3 of the east
Arapahoe division, as such districts and divisions are used by the United States

additional county or additional counties may be included.

included in either of two service authorities without regard to county boundary
lines, as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection (3).

(b) Neither the governing body nor the residents of any such municipality
shall participate in any of the procedures by which the service authority is originally

county, such municipality may be included in the service authority to which it
directs its request for inclusion in the manner provided in section 32-7-131.

(4) The boundaries of any service authority shall not be such as to create any
