A special election was held on May 5, 2009 at FMS.   This election was authorized by the PBHMD Board of Directors and was held between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. for all eligible voters. The election was held to ask voters whether or not term limits should be eliminated for the District’s board of directors.  The ballot read:  “Shall the limitations on terms of office imposed by Article XVIII, Section 11, of the Colorado constitution be eliminated for directors of the Paint Brush Hills Metropolitan District?”  As the Designated Election Official, I now report that the ballot question did not pass: Yes = 6   No = 16

Volunteers Needed for Park Projects   A new park is planned at the south end of Carrington Drive in the western portion of the Falcon Hills neighborhood.  Like the other two parks, the District was awarded a GOCO mini-grant to help develop Drayton Green, the name of this new park.  Public input meetings are held on a periodic basis to give residents an opportunity to give direct input to District representatives during the planning and construction of current and future parks projects.  Valuable input has been gained in the past and significant planning will be done in the future, so stay tuned for details.  Park site plans can be downloaded below.   The plans were drawn during the preliminary stages of each park project, so they don’t represent a final as-built.  will be available at this website in the near future.  Residents who wish to help with any of our park projects should contact Ellen to be put on a list.  Input on these projects is welcome at any time.
