A Joint Resolution Authorizing Commencement of Merger Process and Establishing Merger Committee

On July 21, 2025, Fossil Ridge Metropolitan Districts Nos. 1-3 held a regularly scheduled board meeting. At that meeting, among other things, the 3 boards reviewed and approved a Joint Resolution Authorizing Commencement of Merger Process and Establishing a Merger Committee.

The Boards have appointed a board committee to start the process of working with legal counsel to clarify the benefits and potential future cost savings of merging the 3 Districts.

Likely, merging  the Districts into a single unified special district will eliminate the significant administrative and statutory compliance burdens and expenses associated with maintaining a three-district structure, including conducting three annual audits; developing, adopting, and monitoring three budgets and the associated accounting services; meeting statutory requirements for three Districts; conducting elections of Board members for the three Districts; and, annually developing, certifying, and collecting property taxes for both District No. 2 and District No. 3.

The Boards will keep you, the residents, informed via periodic updates on Solterra-Connect.
