Board members question legality of school-district exclusion from RDA extension
Summary
Council members urged the newly formed subcommittee to investigate why the Alpine School District was removed from an RDA extension and whether notices and legal steps met requirements; they requested access to emails and public documents.
During discussion on forming a subcommittee to review the supplemental audit, a board member pressed for investigation into how the RDA extension process excluded the Alpine School District and whether that exclusion was legally executed. The member said the removal effectively —that just is taxation without representation— for school-district taxpayers and asked for a legal review of past decisions.
The member asked the subcommittee to obtain emails, public records and other documents explaining why the school district was removed from the extension and whether the process followed legal notice requirements. Board members also raised questions about whether other government entities could renegotiate commitments and whether new school-district boundaries automatically changed RDA membership.
The board did not resolve the legal questions at the meeting; members recommended that the subcommittee and legal counsel examine statutory authority and past communications and report back to the board.
