Legislative Audit Committee authorizes audit of DOLA oversight of metropolitan districts

The Legislative Audit Committee voted May 27 to authorize an audit of the Department of Local Affairs’ oversight of Colorado metropolitan districts. The audit was requested by Senator Weissman and the Office of the State Auditor provided a scope memo identifying possible review areas, including whether DOLA implements statutory oversight responsibilities, how metro districts provide services and finance obligations, and examples from other states for governance and transparency improvements.
