Ballots on Catalyst, Cascadia zoning election to go out next month

Greeley residents will begin receiving ballots regarding the special election for the Catalyst and Cascadia projects no earlier than Feb. 3, with ballots for overseas and military voters sent on Friday.

The city will hold a special election for ballot measure 1A on Feb. 24, giving voters the opportunity to decide whether to repeal the zoning for the Catalyst and Cascadia properties. The zoning ordinance was approved by the council in August and was quickly challenged by local issue committee Greeley Demands Better, which circulated a petition to force the council to either repeal the zoning ordinance or bring it to a vote.

On Thursday, Greeley Demands Better co-chairs Brandon Wark and Rhonda Solis sent a letter to the council demanding that they stop spending and exercise the project off-ramps until the residents have the opportunity to vote. The letter listed possible off-ramps including repealing the zoning and canceling the election.

“As sponsors of the Referendum, we have substantial and well-documented concerns about the City’s continued spending and financial
exposure,” the letter reads. “We urge you to take immediate action to protect taxpayers by stopping all discretionary spending and exercising the off-ramps and contingency provisions available under the existing agreements.”
