Issue 6 flagged Boulder's DDA formation vote as on the November 2026 calendar. The substantive council debate, per BizWest's March reporting, centers on administrative cost, loss of city control over downtown parking lots, and how revenue would split between city government and the new authority. These are the same control-transfer questions that made Denver's DDDA-owns-a-mall situation complicated. Boulder's draft Intergovernmental Agreement framework, which the city says will come before the vote itself, is where those terms get set.
