Common use of The District Clause in Contracts

The District. Within 14 days of the District’s receipt of an invoice from the Division, the District shall pay $4,000 to the Division. This penalty reflects § 1-45-117(4)(a). Under that subsection, violations of § 1- 45-117 are subject to the provisions of section 10(1) of article XXVIII of the state constitution. Section 10(1) outlines civil penalties of “at least double and up to five times the amount contributed . . . or spent in violation of” Colorado law. Here, double the amount spent would be $4,000.1 The Division finds that a greater sum would not further the purposes of Colorado campaign finance law. The District’s leadership has entirely turned over, and additional penalties would only further harm district taxpayers.
