A blogsite reader writes, "My guess would be that you are opposed to the Metro District dissolving or has that changed? Was just curious about your position these days now that you are the Treasurer for the City."
As a long-term resident it is my sense that if we want to save money and build a stronger community, the prudent action is recombination of the Castle Pines North Metro District with the Castle Pines Metro District (the District in Castle Pines Village). These two Districts were planned to operate as one. The two Districts perform essentially the same tasks. Contractual consolidation of services can realize cost benefits to all concerned. While putting those pieces back together, an opportunity should be extended to Surrey Ridge, Charter Oaks, and Beverly Hills to join with the combined Districts to create a consolidated water utility (NOT another CoCPN annexation) for all our communities. The District can pursue that future in fulfillment of the dissolution action initiated by the City. That would be a wonderful use of our money.
As Treasurer I'd opine that it is in CoCPN's purview to consider withdrawal of the petition in the best interests of the community. If that action occurred, it would be my sworn duty to support it - but I'd still support the North District to go have a cup of coffee with the Castle Pines Metro District.

I agree and hope that you can convince the City Council to withdraw the petition.
