Loading...
Summary
At a special March meeting, the Blue Strand Enterprise approved raising the retail delivery fee from 3.33 cents to 3.44 cents for fiscal year 2027, citing Department of Revenue data and a statutory inflation-indexing provision (statute citation in transcript unclear).
At a special meeting in March, the Blue Strand Enterprise approved a narrow increase to its retail delivery fee, raising the per-delivery charge from 3.33 cents to 3.44 cents for fiscal year 2027.
The board’s chair opened the meeting and asked for action on the single agenda item. The clerk told members the change was authorized under a statutory provision cited in the transcript as "per CRS 3 3, we're 12 0 3 7 b" and said the Department of Revenue provided the data supporting the adjustment. The clerk stated, "Based on the information provided by the Department of Revenue, we, are able to increase the rate by, it's 0 11%," and presented the resulting change from 3.33 cents to 3.44 cents.
The chair asked, "Do I hear a motion to increase the clean transit retail delivery fee, 3.33¢ to 3.44¢ for fiscal year '27 ... ?" A motion was made and seconded on the floor, and the chair conducted a voice vote. The meeting record in the transcript records members saying "Aye" and the chair announcing the motion passed; no roll-call tally or opposing votes are recorded in the transcript.
The board specified the fiscal-year timing discussed in the meeting: the fee increase is for fiscal year 2027, with the fiscal year described in the meeting as beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027. The clerk cited Department of Revenue information as the basis for the modest increase and referenced the statute that originally set the fee, though the transcript’s statute citation is garbled in places and would benefit from confirmation against the official code.
The chair adjourned the special session immediately after the vote. The transcript does not record any additional debate, named roll-call votes, or dissent in connection with the motion.
What happens next: the fee increase was approved by voice vote at the meeting and is described as effective for FY 2027; the record provided in the transcript does not include further implementation steps or publication details.
