Description

We granted certiorari before judgment, under C.A.R. 50, to review a judgment of the District Court for Archuleta County in favor of the Board of County Commissioners of Archuleta County (Board).*fn1 The district court held that article X, section 20, of the Colorado Constitution (Amendment 1) did not prohibit the County's electorate from approving a referred measure authorizing retention and expenditure of excess revenue collections which exceed Amendment 1 limits. Absent voter approval, Amendment 1 would have required refund of these revenues. Petitioner, F.T. Havens (Havens), contended that the referred measure violated Amendment 1, section (7)(d), for failure to require a revenue reduction in future years to offset the retained revenues, and he sought an injunction requiring refund of the excess revenues. The Board moved for summary judgment. Havens responded with a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. There were no material facts in contention, and the district court ruled in favor of the Board. We affirm the judgment.
