On February 27, 2014, Colorado District Court Judge Chris
Melonakis ruled that Broomfield's five-year fracking ban would
remain in effect. The ban passed by a mere twenty
votes. The results of the November 2014 election were
challenged by Broomfield Balanced Energy Coalition. The
Coalition argued that the election was flawed because mistakes were
made in counting the ballots. The Court disagreed.
According to the Court, the City and County of Broomfield
substantially complied with state election laws.
Another lawsuit, this time challenging the ban itself rather
than the election results, is likely to be filed. We will
continue to monitor developments at the North America Shale
