Heritage Hills PID board plans a $1.25 million bond for Phase III improvements

After recommending Tri-State General Contractors' $595,313 bid for Phase II landscape improvements in November 2021, the Heritage Hills board turned to Phase III. City Finance staff said the City did not issue revenue bonds for less than $1 million but could combine the district's request with another PID's issuance. The board settled on about $1.25 million for Phase III and the extension of Legacy, rather than also borrowing for a later Phase IV. In February 2023 it approved the Phase III construction bid.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

On August 10, 2022 City Finance staff "explained that the city did not issue revenue bonds for anything less that $1 million, however, there was a PID already requesting bond issuance, so they would be able to lump in whatever cost they needed into the same bond." A board member suggested $1.25 million; in October he said Phase III was estimated at about $750,000 and "they had requested the bond for $1.25 million." The board voted on October 12 to put the specifications out to bid and on February 28, 2023 to approve the Phase III construction bid. ^[2]^[3]^[4]

The Heritage Hills and Colonies minutes do not name the certificate series that funded their 2023 projects; the City's debt schedule at September 30, 2025 lists Series 2023 Colonies and Heritage Hills certificates. The site does not match amounts between the two. ^[4]^[5]^[6]
