Colorado Revised Statutes Title 22. Education § 22-42-117. Board to certify needed revenues

(1) If the board of education has issued any of said bonds, at the time of certifying to the board of county commissioners a statement showing the amount necessary to raise from the taxable property of said district for the general fund as required by law, it shall also certify to said board of county commissioners the amount needed for its bond redemption fund to pay all installments of principal and interest of said bonds, which, according to their terms, have already become due and payable or shall become due and payable during the next ensuing fiscal year, or both, together with such additional amount, if any, as in the judgment of the board of education it is desirable to raise from the taxable property of said district for the purpose of redeeming, during the said ensuing fiscal year, any of said bonds which are redeemable but not due. Separate amounts shall be certified for the bond redemption fund to satisfy the outstanding obligations of bonded indebtedness which involve separate tax levies on taxable property located within different territorial limits.

(2) The board of education has authority to include in each amount certified for said bond redemption fund an amount to create a reserve for the redemption of bonds in future years prior to their maturities, for the payment of bonds in future years either prior to or at their maturities, or for purchasing at a discount and cancellation any bond on which the interest is being paid for the current district debt service mill levy;  but said reserve shall be restricted to the subsidiary account in the bond redemption fund for which said tax levy was made.
