Council approves reorganization of Anthology West metropolitan districts; two districts to be dissolved

During a public hearing, town and Metro District representatives presented three resolutions to restructure Anthology West Metropolitan Districts. The proposal would transfer ownership and operational control of the community recreation center from non-resident-controlled Districts 3 and 6 to residential Districts 2, 4 and 5, end some existing intergovernmental agreements and wind down the two small non-resident districts, officials said.

"We want to get this control away from those two districts that don't have residents and put it into the residents' hands where it really should be," Trish Harris, general counsel for the Metro Districts, told the council. Harris said the HOA currently performs day-to-day maintenance under an existing agreement and that the restructuring would not change that day-to-day arrangement in the near term. Michael Drennan, president of Anthology West Metro District 4, told the council residents had been briefed and supported the move but noted a possible conflict of interest where District 5 remains builder-controlled by Century Homes; that concern, he said, has not yet been fully resolved.

Following public comment and council questions about the history and resident outreach, Council member Todd Hendricks moved to approve resolution 26-048 (operating agreement approvals and related IGA amendments), followed by motions to approve resolution 26-049 (consent to dissolution of District 3) and resolution 26-050 (consent to dissolution of District 6). Each motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Council members emphasized the action was intended to simplify administration, avoid unnecessary expense for residents and return control to homeowner-represented districts.
