Description
The plaintiffs, who are residents, voters, and taxpayers of the City of Lakewood (city), brought this suit in Jefferson County District Court challenging the legality of actions by the city, the Lakewood Public Building Authority (building authority) and certain of their officials in structuring plans for the financing and construction of a municipal office building (city hall) and in committing to spend monies in furtherance of that project. The plaintiffs' principal claim is that the city hall financing proposal violates Colo. Const. Art. XI, § 6, which prohibits the city from incurring a general obligation debt unless approved by the voters. The plaintiffs also contest certain city expenditures unrelated to the municipal office building. Finally, they seek restitution and exemplary damages from those individual defendants who participated in the alleged wrongful actions. A trial to the court resulted in a judgment for the defendants on all claims. The plaintiffs appeal, and we affirm.
