BOCC restates Gun Barrel PID purposes to allow other paving PIDs; interim advisory committee appointed
Summary
The Boulder County Board of County Commissioners approved GPID-related resolutions Jan. 6, 2026, removing paving from the Gun Barrel Public Improvement District’s stated purposes so other paving PIDs may form within its boundaries and appointing an interim advisory committee while permanent nominations proceed.
The Boulder County Board of County Commissioners voted Jan. 6 to amend the recorded purposes of the Gun Barrel Public Improvement District (GPID), formally consenting to other public improvement districts to pursue paving activities within the GPID boundaries and approving an interim advisory committee while permanent applications and nominations are completed.
Olivia Lucas, senior assistant county attorney, told commissioners that the two-step process began with the GPID board’s action and that the BOCC’s amendment would delete language in the district’s original forming resolution (Boulder County Resolution 93-175) that references grading, paving, curbing, guttering and drainage. Lucas said the change implements the community’s request to allow separate homestead‑area or other paving PIDs to form and pursue paving improvements without dissolving the GPID’s other open‑space and recreational authorities.
Lucas read the names proposed for an interim advisory committee: Bridget Gordon, Dina McKay, Rob O’Day, Gina Hyatt and Donna George. Commissioners thanked the nominees and community members for their work facilitating an agreed approach that seeks to preserve the GPID’s open‑space functions while clearing the path for discrete paving improvement districts.
A motion to approve the GPID board’s resolution (recorded as GPID resolution 2026‑001) was moved, seconded and approved on a voice vote. The board then approved BOCC Resolution 2026‑009, the complementary county action to restate the GPID purposes. Both votes were recorded as voice approvals during the meeting.
Commissioners said the interim advisory committee will serve until the county opens the permanent application and nomination process in January 2026 and reiterated that the GPID’s open‑space purposes would continue under the restated language. The county attorney cited Colorado statutory authority relevant to PID formation and consent (CRS 30‑25‑203(3)) during the presentation.
The board also approved a consent agenda and later authorized a separately noticed executive session on Jan. 12, 2026, to receive instructions to negotiators on the county’s collective bargaining agreement with the Boulder County Employees Union.
Next steps: the county will open the application process for the permanent GPID advisory committee and publish materials describing the committee role and timeline.
