Board monitors ZIP-code proposal, Front Range rail and RTD modernization bills

General Manager Stephanie Stanley provided a legislative update noting a federal proposal to create unique ZIP codes for communities that do not currently have them; she said Highlands Ranch is included in that bill and staff are monitoring it because unique ZIP codes could improve sales-tax accuracy and provide future flexibility. Stanley also reviewed state bills including a Front Range Passenger Rail bill (not currently including Highlands Ranch) and an RTD modernization bill that the board signaled general support for pending further discussion with the district's legislative consultant.
