The City of Colorado Springs will hold a Special Municipal Election on June 17 for eligible voters to consider a ballot question on Ordinance No. 25-16, annexing the area known as Karman Line Addition No. 6 located east of the City.
On Jan. 28, City Council voted on and passed the proposed Karman Line Annexation through six separate ordinances. Following a citizen-initiated referendum petition, Council reconsidered one of the annexation ordinances, Ordinance No. 25-16, at its regular meeting on April 8. City Charter required the Council to either repeal the ordinance or send the ordinance to a special municipal election for voters to approve or reject the ordinance. Council voted at the meeting to send the following ballot language to a vote of the eligible electors:
“Shall the voters approve Ordinance 25-16, annexing that area known as Karman Line Addition No. 6 consisting of 1,876.24 acres located northwest of the Bradley Road and Curtis Road intersection into the City of Colorado Springs?”
Military and overseas ballots will be mailed on May 2. Ballots for those in the City of Colorado Springs will be mailed on May 23. Ballots must be returned by 7 p.m. on June 17.
