Proclamations

Renewing Two Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) with the School of Mines

These IGAs are intended to improve communication between the City and School, particularly with regard to the School's expansion plans and land use. As a State institution, the School does not consider itself bound to City regulations. They are also exempt from property tax, though they do expect City services such as police and fire protection. While the School can be an economic engine, their presence (and expansion plans) in the middle of town is at times a mixed blessing. More.
