Members of the League of Women Voters of Je erson County met on April 23 for their annual meeting. e theme was “Safeguarding Gold Standard Elections.” Aman-

da Gonzalez, Je co’s Clerk and Recorder was the keynote speaker. Her speech o ered more information on the elections for the year. Here are ve interesting facts that came out of the meeting that Je erson County voters should know.

1. The Je co League of Women Voters is a group of volunteers. Everyone in the room volunteers their time for not only the meetings but also observing legislative processes important to voting,

The League of Women Voters in Je erson County has a mission to protect democracy and the integrity of voting in the U.S. This statement in the photo is emblazoned on their website.

according to the LWV president Christina Manthey.

“We do this through volunteering for the league observer corps program if each of us chooses to attend a governing body meeting regularly,” Manthey said.

2. The league is bipartisan and contains male members.

A few of the women were there with their husbands, who were also part of the membership.

LWV secretary Jane Cates told a story about two members who had a erce debate during a meeting. e members were from di erent sides of an issue that the members were trying to nd consensus on. She described the debate and the uproar in the room.

“ en, I was shocked when the members left the meeting,” Cates said. “One of the two women who were openly, verbally sparring just moments ago, turned to the other, her sparring partner, and asked, ‘Where are we going to lunch today?’”

Despite their opposing views, the members all come together in the interest of protecting voter integrity, Cates said.

3. The league does not have a program for 2024.

According to the league’s Je co Action chair, Deb Gard, the group will not have a program for the year, in order to concentrate on elections for the year.

“Our job this year is to safeguard our elections,” Gard said.

She went on to explain that the focus is on safeguarding the vote. is includes “educating voters in Je erson County concerning the accuracy and fairness of our elections is essential, especially this year when the quality and status of elections is being questioned everywhere.”

“Any other programming for this year would be a moot point,” Gard continued. “We must loudly and forcefully defend and protect the gold standard elections in Colorado in Je co.”

4. Je co Clerk and Recorder Amanda Gonzalez testified in the Colorado legislature against “vexatious requester” laws.

SPEAK OUT!

Gonzalez gave the keynote speech at the LWV meeting. During the speech, she shared a few legislative issues that her o ce has been working on.

ing rights to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated Coloradans.

For example, HB-24-1296 Modications to Colorado Open Records Act is a law meant to “lessen the burdens of responding to records requests for custodians of records under the “Colorado Open Records Act”, according to the Colorado General Assembly website. Gonzalez went to the legislature to testify against the act.

“We are your government and those of your records,” Gonzalez explained to the league. “And yes, does it take time to pull them? Sure, it does. at’s OK. I really believe in transparent government. I think you should have access to all that you don’t think that we should get in your way.”

e act has been changed to remove language that Gonzalez said would impede the transparency of her o ce.

5. Gonzalez also talked about her desire to spread the news about vot-

“I ran for o ce because I want to make sure that every eligible voter votes and has their ballot accurately counted. Which is why I’m working really hard on Senate Bill 72,” Gonzalez said. SB24-072 Voting for Conned Eligible Electors would allow people in jail on misdemeanors or awaiting trial the means to exercise their right to vote.

“Right now, the only time that you lose your right to vote, because of involvement with the criminal justice system, is if you are currently serving a term of con nement for a felony conviction. at’s it,” she explained.

ese bills are slated to be considered by the Colorado Legislature before the current session ends.

After Gonzalez’s speech, Manthey reiterated the need to add more league members to their ranks. Membership is open to anyone in Je erson County. For more information on the League of Women Voters of Je erson County and to join, visit LWVJe co.org.

Zillow Rolls Out a Home ‘Touring Agreement’ That Doesn’t Comply With Colorado Law

Ever since the March 15th announcement by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) that it had reached a settlement on the massive litigation against it regarding buyer agent commissions, brokers and brokerages have been trying to figure out how they can get buyers to sign an agreement of the type required by that settlement.

Such an agreement would have to provide for payment by buyers of the broker working on their behalf, and that agreement would have to be signed before an agent could show the buyer any homes for sale.

with whom I shared Zillow’s agreement last week.

First, since it has not been approved by the Colorado Real Estate Commission (CREC), Zillow’s form can only be used by brokers if it has been prepared by that broker’s own lawyer. Second, it does not contain the required definitions of working relationships.

I asked Waters what new or changed contracts the Division is working on to comply with the provisions of the NAR settlement, and she replied as follows:

Zillow, which is now a brokerage, not merely a real estate listing site, thinks it has produced an agreement which satisfies that requirement and that buyers would be happy to sign. The essence of it is that it is non-exclusive, lasts only seven days, and does not commit the buyer to paying anything.

Although the “Touring Agreement” is copyrighted, the April 30th blog post by Zillow’s Chief Industry Development Officer, Errol Samuelson, states that “we’re making it available for use to the entire residential real estate industry.”

Above right I have reproduced the one-page agreement, omitting only the non-discrimination clause and the signature lines.

In the blog post, Samuelson acknowledged that “the form of this agreement will vary by state, [but] we’re calling on the industry to adopt a non-exclusive, limited-duration agreement for the initial tours conducted by an agent with a prospective buyer.”

Indeed the form does not comply with Colorado state law in two respects, according to Marcia Waters, who heads the Division of Real Estate at the Colorado Department of Regulatory Affairs,

“It is our position that the NAR settlement doesn't require any changes to our forms. With that said, the Forms Committee is working on some possible revisions to the listing contracts, the contract to buy and sell and the brokerage disclosure to buyer to provide further clarification about compensation. Those revisions will be considered by the Real Estate Commission at their nonrulemaking hearing for the forms in June.” That meeting is at 9 a.m. on June 4th. The requirements established by the NAR settlement are now set to take effect on August 17th.

I like the concept of Zillow’s proposed touring agreement, since the NAR settlement only specifies “an agreement.” Having sent it to the Division of Real Estate and also to Frascona, Joiner, Goodman & Greenstein, PC, the law firm which serves Golden Real Estate and hundreds of other brokerages with legal forms not among those mandated by the CREC, I’m hopeful that one or the other of them will produce a “showing agreement” that we can use.

Without such an document agreeable to buyers, we can expect that buyers will only call listing agents to see listed homes. That scenario would serve neither the industry nor the public.

NAR Releases Additional Rules Pursuant to Settlement

Heretofore, the only guidance brokers had regarding the NAR settlement was that the MLS could no longer display an offer of co-op compensation for listings and that brokers could not show listings to a buyer with first executing a written agreement with that buyer. Last week we were advised of some additional rules that the MLSs need to follow. Here are the key takeaways. MLSs may not “create, facilitate, or support any non-MLS mechanism (including by providing listing information to an internet aggregator’s website for such purpose)” that includes “offers of compensation to buyer brokers or other

buyer representatives.”

MLS data may not be used “directly or indirectly” to create a platform containing offer of compensation, and, if that is done, the MLS must terminate the access to the MLS and MLS data by the offending broker or brokerage. Virtually every brokerage has its own website on which MLS listings are displayed. These websites must not, with or without MLS support, filter the display of listings to exclude individual listings based on the level of compensation offered or to exclude listings by specific brokerages or specific listing agents within a brokerage.

New Homes Can Have Inspection Issues, Too

This will be a good year, I believe, for the developers and builders of new homes. There’s a decent supply, you can choose between spec homes that are already built, or design a home to your specifications if you are not in a rush.

You won’t have to deal with bidding wars, but you also won’t be able to negotiate a price reduction. It’s “list price only” with builders.

Also, you can hire a buyer’s agent, such as my broker associates or me, who will be paid by the builder, so you don’t have to pay for professional representation. Too many buyers of new homes end up regretting that they bought from a builder’s salesperson and didn’t have a professional on their side. The builder’s agent is working for the builder and not in your best interest.

Another mistake buyers make is to think that because a home is new, it doesn’t need to be inspected. You abso-

lutely must invest in the cost of a professional home inspector. We have an inspector on our team, Jim Camp, who has decades of experience inspecting new homes for buyers. We recommend him exclusively. New construction is permitted and must pass county or city inspection, but, based on the kinds of defects that Jim has found in new homes, we worry that these inspections can be too cursory. Jim likes to do a 2-phase inspection. The first inspection would be at the rough-in or pre-drywall stage, and the second or final inspection would be prior to the buyer’s final walk-through with the builder.

As when buying an existing home, money spent on inspections is money well spent, because you might uncover hidden defects, from sewer to attic, that could cost you much more later on. Call me with your questions.

Biz Beat: Arvada’s Fortress Fine Woodwork

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cory Rusch is the epitome of a modern skilled craftsman and business owner. Rusch owns and operates Fortress Fine Woodwork, a three-year-old company in Arvada. At age 30, Rusch has built a bustling business fueled by his handcrafted functional ne art.

“When I talk to clients, I do remind them that, especially if they’re buying a piece of furniture, or even if they’re buying a built-in, this is custom art,” Rusch explained. “It’s legacy furniture, so it’s made to last generations. is is an investment that someone is making, just like if they were to invest in a piece of art itself.”

Rusch started in the woodworking eld in the most nontraditional

way. His rst project was building skateboarding stunt supports.

“So even as early as age ve, I was building a lot of things in my life, including skateboard ramps, half pipes in our backyard, all sorts of crazy stu ,” Rusch explained.

Rusch got some hands-on instruction from his father, who worked in construction.

“And as I got older, I began working with my father doing construction,” he said. “And that’s where I learned how to use construction tools like nail guns, drills, hammers, all the fun stu . And being acquainted with that stu , it really kind of unlocked the possibility of me, potentially woodworking.”

e half pipes and backyard projects were not his rst serious foray into woodworking. Music was that formal introduction for Rusch.

“And then one day I decided that I needed a guitar,” Rusch said. “ at was actually the beginning of my woodworking journey because I learned how to buy special woods and form them into components that were instrument-like.”

Rusch said learning the skills needed to create an instrument were the exact skills that he would later use in building, re nishing and repairing ne furniture.

“ e amount of detail that goes into instruments, it’s considerable,” Rusch said, as he demonstrated on a violin that he created right there in the shop. “A violin is hand carved, basically every aspect, including the scroll and the bow itself are considered instruments.”

Rusch explained how precise measurements, nishes and more are needed to make a violin sound like a violin.

“And this taught me how to not only use tools and do nishes, but more importantly, it taught me a level of patience that I had never experienced in my life before,” Rusch said. “For every project since, especially for customers, I’ve been able to utilize that patience and build their projects to the best of my abilities because of this violin.”

Rusch shared that he learned techniques, skills and other info on woodworking largely from YouTube.

“I utilize the information on the internet to the best of my abilities,” Rusch said.

His work ourished right away.

“I started talking with clients in the construction eld. ey started ordering things like built-ins, furniture and all sorts of knickknacks here and there,” Rusch said. “Over time, I developed Fortress Fine Woodworks. Two years ago, we got this warehouse so that I could develop much larger scale projects.”

e young woodworker’s shop is in an industrial space in Arvada, near Old Towne. e small lobby showcases a table that Rusch built and a sign with the Fortress logo. e space includes an o ce where his wife helps with the business side of things. en, there is the workshop. e room is lled with every piece of heavy machinery needed to create any project on Rusch’s purchase orders.

Rusch expanded to his Arvada factory space after years of teaching himself the art of woodworking. He does all the manufacturing, delivery and installation alone.

is includes re nishing projects and repairs.

“ ere’s also projects that I do where I’m re nishing something that someone already has,” Rusch said, showing o an antique table that he was working on. “I would consider the table an antique, but let’s just call it older. I re nished it. e nish that’s put on it now is a little bit more modern. And it’ll hold up to the test of time a little bit better than the old nish that was on it.”

ose old skills learned making instruments come in handy with the re nishing projects, according to Rusch. “

at’s really where the violin and guitar have come in, the nishing processes that I learned from doing these di erent projects. It takes di erent skills to be able to do these things like this.” He spoke, pointing out the nishes on di erent projects, Rusch explained how he is able to produce a higher quality of work for his clients because of his nishing skills.

Cory Rusch is pictured building a piece of furniture at Fortress

Woodworks.

e skilled craftsman also o ered advice to others looking to turn a woodworking hobby into a business.

“I would honestly tell them to start small rst because woodworking needs to be able to be learned in a reasonably small space so that you don’t have so much overhead and responsibility,” Rusch said. “I think a small garage or even a shed is a perfect place to start. And there’s a lot of economic tools that you can buy these days to accomplish things. And you can build some amazing stu with minimal tools.”

Rusch encourages those

artisans to study building a business before buying a warehouse. He took years before making the leap and encourages others to do the same.

“But as far as growing a business to this size, it is de nitely more so for companies that want to produce large projects for clients,” Rusch said about the demand for ne woodwork.

e U.S. is actually going to need more workers like Rusch in the coming years.

Accordingto the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the pool of skilled woodworkers is needed to replace the growing number of retiring craftsmen through 2032. Check out Rusch at work on his YouTube channel Fortress Fine Woodworks. For more information go to FortressFineWoodworks.com.

Je co GOP cancels South Dakota Gov. Noem fundraising appearance over ‘safety concerns’

Noem facing public criticism for killing her unruly dog

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Je erson County Republican Party canceled a fundraiser scheduled for May 4 with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.

Noem has faced extensive criticism this week for her account of shooting an unruly dog, a detail included in her forthcoming book, according to e Guardian. However, the county GOP stated that “safety concerns” led to the cancelation of the event because protesters were expected to show up.

Noem was set to headline the county GOP’s fundraiser at the Marriott Denver West hotel.

In a May 3 statement, Je co GOP Chair Nancy Pallozzi described inviting Noem to the fundraiser in January and receiving con rmation in early April.

Pallozzi said she didn’t know the contents of the forthcoming book, and her organization “is not taking a position on the public outcry” surrounding it.

However, once the story broke nationwide, she said the county GOP received numerous threats.

Yesterday, the parties involved in the event mutually agreed to cancel the appearance to protect the safety of all involved, Pallozzi said.

“It is very sad that standing up and expressing our First Amendment rights

in this current political culture has brought us to this point,” she continued.

Pallozzi thanked all those who bought tickets to the fundraisers, saying the organization will plan another fundraising event in the near future.

e dog, which Noem shot and reportedly described as a working dog, was 14 months old. According to NBC News, Noem has defended her decision, claiming it had “massacred” a neighbor’s livestock, and she considered it a risk to her family’s safety.

Noem is reportedly on former President Donald Trump’s shortlist for running mate in this November’s election. She was elected South Dakota’s rst female governor in 2018 and re-elected in 2022.

Man who worked in Je erson County schools arrested for child sexual assault

Arvada Police arrest daycare provider; Je co Schools say suspect’s employment is being terminated

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A man who worked as a before and after-school care provider and occasional substitute teacher in Je erson County Schools was arrested by Arvada Police and charged with sexual assault and child abuse.

Justin Joshua Martinez, 31, has been charged with felony sexual assault on a child, two counts of misdemeanor child abuse and felony sexual assault against a victim under the age of 15. Martinez was arrested by Arvada Police on May 1 and is now awaiting formal charges at the Jefferson County Jail. APD spokesperson Dave Snelling said the department received the initial complaint in the

case on April 22.

Since 2011, Martinez was employed at Lawrence Elementary, Swanson Elementary, Secrest Elementary and West Woods Elementary in Arvada; Vivian Elementary in Lakewood and Stevens Elementary in Wheat Ridge. He most recently worked in the before and after school program at Red Rocks Elementary in Morrison.

A spokesperson for Je erson County Public Schools said Martinez was hired by Red Rocks Elementary on Feb. 12 and was placed on administrative leave “immediately after the district was noti ed regarding a criminal investigation.

“ e process to terminate his employment with Je co Public Schools is in progress,” the spokesperson said. e before and after-school programs Martinez previously worked for were operated by Kids Adventures and STARS Kid Care.

A Colorado Bureau of Investigation background check showed no prior o enses committed by Martinez before his May 1 arrest. Arvada Police said the investigation is ongoing and declined to give further comment or details about the case.

Prosecution, defense negotiating plea agreement in Applewood car shooting case

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CORINNE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Lakewood man accused of shooting at an occupied car last May near Golden and his defense team are negotiating a plea agreement, based on his most recent court appearance.

Paul Behme, 32, was arrested June 13 on two counts of attempted rstdegree murder. His bond was set at $1 million cash only.

On March 4, he pleaded not guilty, and the judge said the parties would

determine his trial dates during an April 29 pretrial conference.

Behme appeared in custody at his pretrial conference, where his attorney asked for a continuance so the parties could continue negotiating.

“Both parties are working toward a resolution,” Behme’s attorney told Judge Russell Klein. “We just aren’t there yet.”

Klein continued the hearing until 1 p.m. May 28 at the Je erson County Courthouse.

To that end, Behme’s attorney said his client was willing to toll, or pause,

the six-month deadline for a speedy trial.

Klein explained to Behme how he has a right to a speedy trial within six months of his not-guilty plea. He noted that almost two months had already passed since the March 4 arraignment, but Behme could choose to pause the deadline between April 29 and May 28 if he wished.

Behme said he did, and Klein said the month between the April 29 and May 28 court dates wouldn’t count toward the six-month speedy trial deadline.

The case’s history

According to the arrest a davit, around 9:30 p.m. May 23, a car with two occupants was driving westbound along West 32nd Avenue in the Applewood area, which is unincorporated Je erson County between Golden and Lakewood. Near the Eldridge Street intersection, the car was struck seven times by gunre, with one bullet piercing the windshield and nearly missing the occupants.

e 31st Annual Courage Walk was not detoured by the snowy Saturday that Je erson County experienced on April 27. e actual “walk” part of the event did not take place. However, the ceremony happened

as planned, in the atrium of the Jefferson County Courthouse and Administration Building. As it snowed outside, the Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce and victims advocates from the First Judicial Court came together to honor crime victims. April 21-27 was National Crime Victims Rights Week.

Two Denver publications join Colorado Community Media

BY CCM STAFF

Colorado Community Media –made up of 23 publications serving cities and towns in the Denver metro area – is expanding.

e Denver North Star and the G.E.S. Gazette, established in 2019 and 2021 as free monthly publications and digital products, are joining the portfolio. e National Trust for Local News, Colorado Community Media’s parent company, completed the acquisition of those titles on May 1.

e monthly North Star is Denver’s largest neighborhood publication, and the G.E.S. Gazette, which transitioned to digital-only earlier this year, is a bilingual community publication serving the Globeville and Elyria-Swansea neighborhoods.

ey are in close geographic proximity to other publications operated by CCM, including the Washington Park Pro le and Life on Capitol Hill.  e publications were owned and operated by David Sabados and his wife, Emma Donahue, and were founded in response to a lack of community media in North Denver, Sabados said. He told the Colorado Community Media sta during a meeting that when they began looking for a buyer for the publications about a year ago, CCM immediately seemed like the right t.

“We took a long look at Denver’s and the state’s media landscape of hyperlocal publications and ended up where we started: when we thought about who we trusted to keep the papers’ community feel and ensure their long-term viabil-

ity, we knew they would be in good hands at CCM,” he said.

Sabados and Donahue will serve as advisers to aid in the transition.

Editor Kathryn White and others involved with the North Star and Gazette also will continue working with the CCM operation.

“I’ve long been a fan of the Denver North Star and the G.E.S. Gazette, and what David and his team have done for that community,” Colorado Community Media Publisher Linda Shapley said. “I’m thrilled to take the baton and do what I can to make those publications even stronger.”

e plan is to soon merge the websites for the North Star and Gazette into Colorado Community Media’s site, which serves as the home for all of CCM’s two dozen titles – including

the Arvada Press, Golden Transcript, Parker Chronicle and Littleton Independent, among others.

e acquisition of the G.E.S. Gazette is Colorado Community Media’s second publication serving Spanish-speaking audiences. CCM launched its rst bilingual news product in January – La Ciudad, a newsletter in Spanish and English that primarily serves Commerce City. According to the Pew Research Center, 21% of the nation’s 65 million Hispanic adults get their news in Spanish.

e National Trust for Local News, a nonpro t dedicated to acquiring, transforming and conserving local newspapers, bought Colorado Community Media in 2021. In fact, May 1 also was the three-year anniversary of that acquisition.

Tackling Colorado's Housing Crisis Requires Comprehensive Legislation

By Elizabeth Kay Marchetti

As our state suffers from a housing crisis that is essentially a humanitarian crisis, the need for strategic action has never been more urgent. The State Senate's proposed Strategic Growth Bill (SB-174) represents a missed opportunity, so it is imperative that we pass HB-1313, the legislation mandating increased density near transit hubs. Only by embracing measures that enable new housing to be built can we hope to alleviate the severe shortage of housing plaguing our communities.

Littleton has been at the forefront of regional discussions regarding transit-oriented communities, recognizing the vital role of public transportation in fostering sustainable development. The recent decision by the Littleton City Council not to oppose the transit-oriented community bill reflects this community’s commitment to urban planning and collaborative efforts that meet the documented needs of the city and region.

The correlation between transit accessibility and housing equity cannot be overstated. By concentrating new homes near transit hubs, we not only address the pressing need for housing but also empower residents with expanded transportation choices.

This isn't merely about building more homes; it's about expanding opportunities and freedom of movement for all members of our community.

While the majority of Front Range voters supported the bond question to enable FasTracks twenty years ago, the realization of the light rail’s full potential has been hampered by local zoning restrictions and so-called “growth limits.”

Cities like Aurora, Denver, and Lone Tree have embraced transit-oriented development, while many suburban cities and towns have resisted such changes. The result is that the metro area continues to grapple with traffic congestion, dangerous air quality, disappointingly low transit ridership numbers, and ever increasing housing costs.

Take, for instance, the case of Aspen Grove shopping center in Littleton. Initially a thriving retail center, located immediately north of the Mineral Avenue light rail station, its vitality has waned due to a lack of nearby residential density. It was understood by the developers that it would succeed financially because of its proximity to all the people living and working in Highlands Ranch. Now that Highlands Ranch is built out and the Park Meadows Mall continues to draw people from miles around, Aspen Grove

has struggled with high vacancy rates for years because of so few shoppers living in close proximity.

The recent proposal to redevelop it into a mixed-use neighborhood with significant numbers of housing units above retail was met with resistance fueled by fear of change and new neighbors. The outrage was led by already-housed people living in large, covenant-controlled homes who claim to want more housing, just not in a spot that might inconvenience them. The proposed number of homes was dramatically reduced (this is a phenomenon happening across the country - hence, skyrocketing housing prices) and therefore won’t likely make a significant, positive impact for the retail center or light rail ridership numbers. Enabling developments that put more homes in close proximity to transit and retail represent precisely the kind of forward-thinking solutions we need to solve the housing crisis and sustain local economies.

The reluctance of some municipalities to embrace transit-oriented development underscores the necessity of state intervention. Local control, while important, has too often resulted in a self-perpetuating cycle of housing scarcity. Typical zoning and

subdivision regulations have prevented denser housing development in suburban communities across the nation since the early 20th century. It's time for the state government to step in and ensure that communities across Colorado have the tools and mandates necessary to address our housing crisis comprehensively.

Littleton, along with other smaller suburbs, has struggled for decades to meet the growing demand for housing near transit. Passing legislation mandating increased density near transit hubs is not just a matter of convenience; it's a moral imperative. We owe it to our residents to enact bold, visionary policies that will pave the way for a more equitable and sustainable future.

Vibrant Littleton advocates for the passage of HB-1313. Only by embracing this bill can we hope to overcome the challenges posed by Colorado's housing crisis and build a brighter tomorrow for all.

Bill to ban seclusion in Colorado schools defeated

BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Despite testimony that one Colorado lawmaker called “horrifying,” a bill to ban the practice of shutting students alone inside rooms was defeated at the state Capitol.

State Rep. Regina English, a Colorado Springs Democrat and the main sponsor of House Bill 1167, asked last week that her fellow lawmakers postpone the bill inde nitely, e ectively defeating it.

With just days left in this year’s legislative session, English said the bill was experiencing too much lastminute pushback from defenders of the practice known as seclusion.

ough English didn’t name names, a handful of school district and special education administrators had defended the practice to lawmakers in a hearing last month. e administrators described seclu-

e Coloradans who lled out our survey so far make it clear they want politicians to discuss issues like the environment, housing a ordability, immigration, health care and education.

In Walsh, on the southeastern plains, a shortage of health care workers is a driving concern for Rita Hetrick. She runs the long-term care facility in the town of roughly

sion as a “last resort” measure that is sometimes necessary.

English pledged to introduce a new bill banning seclusion next year.

“It is my mission to make sure Colorado is the ninth state in the nation to ban this horri c practice used against our students,” she told the House Education Committee in April.

e committee voted unanimously to defeat the bill. Several lawmakers said they were voting against the bill reluctantly and only at the sponsor’s request. ey praised English for her courage and said they agreed that seclusion is wrong.

“ e testimony we heard was horrifying,” said Rep. Barbara McLachlan, a Durango Democrat and chair of the House Education Committee. Seclusion, she said, “shouldn’t ever be happening.”

Under current law, Colorado

540 people. Instead of drawing on a local workforce, she relies on pricey sta ng agencies. “We don’t have a stream of cash that’s just available when you’re a small, rural facility.”

Hetrick told Voter Voices that state and federal regulations exacerbate the problem and it’s something she wants to see politicians tackle.

Many have also written about their concerns for our democracy itself.

“I want candidates to discuss wholesale reform of our country’s and Colorado’s constitution,” wrote Juan Manuel Ramirez Anzures of

schools are allowed to seclude students in rooms with the door closed. Sta must monitor students through a window or by video camera. Seclusion rooms must be “free of injurious items” and cannot otherwise be used for storage, custodial, or o ce space.

Students are often placed in seclusion because of their behavior. Available state data shows that young students with disabilities are disproportionately secluded.

English said a case at a popular Denver middle school called McAuli e International School spurred her to sponsor the bill. An investigation by Denver Public Schools found that McAuli e sta were placing students in seclusion without proper supervision. A former Denver school board member told lawmakers that the seclusion room at McAuli e “reminded me of a prison.”

Auon’tai Anderson, was among the parents and elected o cials who testi ed last month in favor of the bill to ban seclusion. e most emotional testimony came from mothers who said their children with disabilities had been secluded. e mothers spoke about how their children soiled themselves inside seclusion rooms because they were so scared and how, even years later, their kids had nightmares and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Parents said they were unaware their children were being secluded, in part because the schools didn’t use the word seclusion. Instead, schools referred to the rooms in which their children were shut inside by innocuous names like “the relaxation room” and “the opportunity room.”

Chalkbeat is a nonpro t news site covering educational change in public schools.

e Voter Voices survey is being conducted by 60 newsrooms statewide from Fort Collins to Pueblo, Salida and Alamosa and from Sterling and Kiowa to Grand Junction, Durango and Nucla.

e project is led by the nonpro t Colorado News Collaborative (COLab) and CPR.

e survey will remain open through this year’s election campaigning, as newsrooms continue to record their communities’ priorities and present what we learn to our

readers and listeners.

e goal is not only to respond to what Coloradans statewide and locally say matters to them in our election reporting, but also to challenge candidates to respond directly to voter priorities and concerns.

Hearing the name “ e Full Monty” probably conjures up a very speci c set of images for most people. Namely, six men whom you wouldn’t think of as strippers doing just that. And to be honest, it’s not like the story isn’t about that.

But as Nick Sugar, director of the musical version at Miners Alley Performing Arts Center, explains it, stripping is by no means the only thing the show is about.

Miners Alley Shows ‘The Full Monty’

COMING ATTRACTIONS

“ ere are several journeys going on in this show — not just the men, but the women who have been there alongside them the whole time,” he said. “People are going to show up expecting one thing and they’re going to leave saying, ‘I didn’t see that coming.’”

“It really does touch on a lot of social issues in a sneaky way,” added David Nehls, music director. “It deals with the way see ourselves as men, homophobia, misogyny and body image.”

“ e Full Monty” runs at Miners Alley, 1100 Miners Alley in Golden, through Sunday, June 2. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. ursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. e show is rated R and recommended for audiences 18-years-old and older.

Based on the 1997 British lm, this musical version has been Americanized and takes place in Bu alo, New York. It follows six unemployed steelworkers who need to make

some money fast, so they decide to put on a one-nightonly strip show. e cast includes Rory Pierce, Annie Dwyer, Alejandro Roldan and Kelly Alayne Dwyer. e show is the rst musical in Miners Alley’s new location and it’s the perfect place for this show, which features live musicians playing all the music written by David Yazbek.

“ ere are live, professional musicians playing what audiences are hearing and these guys work so hard,” Sugar said. “It takes a village to put a production like this on and everyone has come through to gure out how to best do this on the new stage. We just couldn’t do the show with the integrity the script calls for in the old space.”

e musical numbers might be the show-stoppers, but the book, written by Terrence McNally, gives every character a true personality of their own and allows them to grow as the show unfolds.

“It’s great seeing people come together in adverse situations, which is something we can all relate to now,” Nehls said. “I think the stage show has more heart than the lm.”

I’m past 80 now, and although my house is small, I have held onto a lot of stu . In the normal course of events, my children would inherit it.

But my two children and their families live in Arizona and Guam, busy building their own invento-

In my nuclear family, it worked like this: Mom passed on, and no one wanted or needed the house, so Dad called a summit meeting as he prepared to go into assisted living.

Springtime adventures: Family-friendly activities to embrace the season

As the chill of winter fades away, and nature bursts into bloom, spring o ers a wonderful opportunity for families to reconnect and create lasting memories together. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventures or indoor escapades, there’s something magical about this season that beckons us to explore. Here are some of our favorite fun family-friendly activities that you can adapt for all ages to embrace the joys of springtime.

Picnics in the park:

Spring is the perfect time to pack a picnic basket and head outdoors. Find a local park (we are lucky to have more than 300 in and around Denver) with sprawling greenery, blooming owers and maybe even a playground. Let the kids run around, play games, throw a football, y kites and enjoy a leisurely meal amidst nature’s beauty. We also love a good food truck night at the park and are seeing more and more of these pop up.

Nature walks and scavenger hunts: Take advantage of the weather by going on nature walks with your little explorers. Create a scavenger hunt checklist that can including items like speci c-colored owers, chirping birds, colorful butter ies and budding trees. Encourage your children to observe and appreciate the natural world around them. e older kiddos will appreciate more challenging checklists (i.e. get even more speci c, such as using scienti c names, etc.)

Gardening together:

Spring is synonymous with new growth, making it the perfect time to start a family garden. Whether you have a spacious backyard or just a few pots on a balcony, involve your children with planting owers, herbs or vegetables. It’s not only a fun activity, but it also teaches them valuable lessons about responsibility and the cycle of life. Check out our blog post on container gardening 101 at tulabalanced.com and learn

Make it a meaningful experience by emphasizing the importance of donating gently-used items to those in need. is not only clears space, but also instills empathy and generosity in children. And if you need guidance on organizing your newly decluttered space, TULA is always here for that.

Outdoor movie nights:

decluttering

Set up a cozy outdoor movie theater in your backyard. Hang a white sheet, string some fairy lights, gather blankets, cushions for seating and add an inexpensive mini projector to help bring the magic of movie night to life. And don’t forget treats, which will be far more a ordable than an actual theater — win-win! Choose family-friendly movies and snuggle up under the stars for a magical, memorable experience. Just be sure to turn o the sprinklers — this tip comes from something we might know from experience. Ooops!

Rainy day crafts and baking:

Spring showers are inevitable, but they provide the perfect opportunity for indoor creativity. Stock up on craft supplies and baking ingredients for days when the weather keeps you indoors. From painting ower pots to baking spring-themed treats like butter y cookies or ower cupcakes, there are endless ways to unleash your family’s artistic side. Or, if your kiddos are anything like mine, worm hunts are all the rage.

Jane Withers, Denver’s famed ‘Hub Cap Annie,’ dies in Littleton

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Hub Cap Annie” was once a xture on Denver’s East Colfax Avenue.

It was the alter ego of Jane Withers, known for donning a Vikingstyle costume — a headdress, horns and long gold braids.

“Who would wear that costume if they didn’t have a sense of humor? I think that’s what I liked about her,” said Chris Stieler, a volunteer at the Littleton nursing home where Withers lived her nal days.

Withers, in her 80s, died on April 25, leaving behind a lively story and a legacy of local fame and redemption.

“She’s di erent from anyone I’ve ever met. She always had a story to tell, but she was always concerned about others,” Stieler said, describing her as “crazy, feisty, wild — but de nitely a caring person.”

Born in Cleveland and raised in Florida, Withers headed to Denver after getting permission to open a Hub Cap Annie store as a franchise, Stieler said. e business sold used hubcaps for cars back when many cars were equipped with the covers for wheels. Her store arrived in the Mile High City in the early 1980s, where she operated the business until 2008, becoming well-known along the way.

She boasted degrees in psychology and nursing from the University of Florida and worked as a reg-

istered nurse, but wanted to “start a di erent life, I believe,” Stieler said.

Her move west saw her grow enamored with hubcaps.

Stieler, who met Withers nine years ago, once said to her: “If I asked you what the hubcap looked like for a 1964 Plymouth, would you be able to tell me?

“And she was able to,” Stieler said. Her business life took a seedy turn, dealing in stolen hubcaps, Stieler said.

at included getting them “o of cars in the parking lot of Mile High Stadium during Broncos’ games,”

Withers was quoted as saying in Car and Driver magazine. After police raided her store in a sting operation, she was charged with a felony and convicted, the magazine wrote.

But she pushed on. And she began using her experiences to inspire others, becoming a motivational speaker and making it a point to hire employees who needed mentoring and a second chance, according to the LEADER magazine from Life Care, the nursing home company that housed her in recent years.

“I think she always wanted to redeem herself in a sense,” Stieler said. “She sure made up her mind that she was going to be a bene t and help other people.”

She was one of the founders of the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce, and photos show her with former o cials — U.S. sena-

tors, Denver Mayor Federico Peña and Colorado governors, Stieler said.

confusion amid dementia in her later years, she “would still think she was going to give a lecture that evening, even up to last week,” Stieler said the day after she passed.

“I just thought that was interesting that that was in the forefront of her mind,” Stieler added.

Stieler, a 72-year-old former realestate agent, remembers Withers’ irreverent comments and what people around her called “Janeisms,” Stieler said.

“She’s one of a kind,” Stieler said. “And I’ll miss her sense of humor and her stories and just spending time with her.”

Volunteers needed to drive cancer treatment patients

Road to Recovery program getscancer patients to their treatments without delay

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jared Phillips thinks one of the hardest parts about ghting cancer is fretting over whether someone will show up to give him a ride to his treatment. Phillips, who is battling bladder cancer, knows he cannot miss one day of his chemotherapy because it would dramatically cut his chances of surviving the disease.

“I would peer out from behind my window shades and hope that the cab or Uber will show up on time,” Phillips said. “If they didn’t…. well… I would be in big trouble. at just added to my anxiety.”’

en, earlier this year, along came the genial Carol Rose, a veteran of the American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program. Rose and other volunteers provide free rides to treatment for cancer patients who can’t otherwise get to treatment.

“It is something I’ve done for a while and I just feel it’s my way of helping out,” Rose said. “I just wanted to lend a hand. And I like driving the patients and their families, getting to know them. And lots like to tell me their stories.”

Phillips and his wife Jennifer Barnes got connected with Rose through Tammy White Uecker, an RN, and General Cancer Nurse Navigator with SCL Health Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge. It’s there that Phillips gets his chemo treatments but not before he relaxes a bit in the back seat of Rose’s SUV while enroute to the hospital.

“We don’t have that stress that I might miss a session,” Phillips said. Rose, Barnes added, has become a friend they can rely on for emotional support as well.

“We have never been late, which is such a relief,” Barnes said. “She (Rose) has been a God send.”

Phillips said he is disabled due to mental health issues that prevents him from getting out of his apartment. e couple’s car was also destroyed in a re making them dependent on Rose and her vehicle. e Road to Recovery program is

designed for patients just like Phillips, said Uecker. “We have patients who don’t have access to transportation or are homeless, but they can’t miss their treatments,” Uecker said. “ e number one obstacle to getting cancer treatment is access to transportation. Even the best treatment can’t work if a patient can’t get there.” is program helps alleviate their anxiety and calms them down so they can concentrate on their recovery, she said. “My rule is to empower the patients. is program helps them do that.”

Ride scheduling is coordinated online, and volunteers can share their schedule availability based on what works for them, according to the American Cancer Society. Once a volunteer’s schedule is set, drivers can accept ride requests from people in their community who need help getting to appointments.

Nationwide, in 2023, the program provided more than 47,000 rides to treatment, according to the American Cancer Society. In Colorado, 1,400 rides were given last year.

Currently, there are 137 active drivers in the state, according to the cancer society.

But there is a shortage of drivers in Colorado, especially in the north metro area and in the state’s rural areas, said Sara Walla, regional director of regional integrated marketing at the American Cancer Society.

“We need more volunteers so we can help more cancer patients,” Walla said. “Unfortunately, we can’t provide rides to everyone who asks for them. We need more volunteers to change that.”

Rose, 71, said she has learned a lot from quietly talking to patients while she drives them to their appointments. “ ey handle what’s going on with them di erently and I appreciate that. I don’t press them, and if they want to talk, I am happy to have a conversation.”

One patient especially shook Rose. “She was young and well made up and she asked me out of the blue ‘Does it look like I am dying?’ “

“I didn’t really know what to say, so I didn’t say much,” Rose said. “ at’s all you can do sometimes. Is just listen.”

A bill that would have quadrupled the property taxes on many homes o ered as short-term rentals in Colorado was rejected in a Colorado Senate committee, marking at least the third time in recent years that such a proposal has failed at the Capitol.  Senate Bill 33 was voted down 6-1 by the Senate Finance Committee during the bill’s rst hearing, an outcome that came after months of loud opposition from vacation rental owners and companies like Airbnb and Vrbo.

e only “yes” vote on the measure came from its main sponsor, Sen. Chris Hansen, a Denver Democrat. e measure proposed taxing short-term rental properties at the state’s commercial rate if they are rented to vacationers for more than 90 days a year — regardless of whether they are someone’s primary or secondary home. In 2023, the property tax assessment rate for lodging properties was 27.9% compared with the 6.7% residential property tax assessment rate.  Hansen o ered an amendment that would have rewritten the measure to block hotels and motels from being converted into short-term rentals and to study the broader issue. at, too, was rejected by the committee.

Record throws by Lafore and Strickland at Je co League championships

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD —  ere was denitely some extra interest during the boys shot put and discus events at the Class 5A/4A Je co League track and eld championships last week at Je co Stadium.

Chat eld senior Charlie Lafore broke the 5A boys shot put league record of Jim Banich (Arvada High School) that had stood since 1982. Lafore’s nal throw on Wednesday, May 1, measured 65-feet, 4.25 inches. e old record was 63-8.5.

“It felt great to break the record,” Lafore said. “It’s really an accumulation of hard work.”

Banich also has the 5A boys state meet record in the shot put. His throw of 66-03.25 was also the allclassi cation state meet record since 1982 until Buena Vista’s Mason Finley broke it in 2009 with a throw of 67-10.25.

“ e rst ve throws on Wednesday things really weren’t connecting,” Lafore admitted. “My fth throw wasn’t perfect, but it went further. I knew I was on to something. Going into my sixth throw I knew what I needed to do, I just needed to do it better.”

Also on May 1, Golden senior Montrey Strickland topped his own league record set last year in the 4A boys shot put. Strickland’s throw of 61-05.5 shattered his own record of 53-8.5.

e two seniors weren’t done putting on a show during the two-day meet. Lafore was going after the 5A boys discus league record of 195-4 set by Lee Kunz in 1975. While the Kansas State University-bound thrower came up short with his best throw of 186, it was still better than 50-feet over the second-place nisher in the event.

“I wasn’t super happy with how today went,” Lafore said Saturday after coming up short of Kunz’s record in the discus.

Strickland nished up the historic

“I was kind of throwing at. I didn’t feel right today, but I was happy with the outcome.”

While Strickland will be looking for his rst state title during the state meet back at Je co Stadium in a few weeks — he took 4th in the 4A shot put and 5th in the discus last season — Lafore will be a heavy favorite to pull o another state double.

“Going into this year I’ve only gotten better,” Lafore said as he will attempt to defending both his 5A shot put and discus state championships during the state meet May 16-18 at Je co Stadium. “My competition has only gotten better too. Hopefully we can do the same thing.”

Lafore said since he started throwing four years ago his goal has been to throw at the college level and possibility make a run at the Olympics in the future. With many eyes watching and high expectations is something Lafore welcomes.

“I’m getting to the point in my career where pressure, adrenaline and the jitteriness turns into extra distance,” Lafore said. “If I can utilize that, be a good technician and a good competitor then I’m very excited for state. I think I can do very well.”

Strickland, who will play football at the University of Northern Colorado next school year, believes if he puts it all together at state he could have a shot at the 4A state meet record of 192-6.

“I wanted to throw in the 190s. I’ve been doing that in practice,” Strickland said. “It’s a process.”

If Strickland equals his shot put at league, that mark would break the 4A record of 60-04.75.

“I de ntely want to perfect my technique in the shot and disc,” Strickland said of heading to state. “I know what I’m capable of. I just need to do it in a meet.”

meet with setting the boys 4A discus record with his best throw of 161-3. e old mark was held by Eric Rivera-Parker of 159-8 set back in 2012.

“I was kind of struggling to nd my rhythm,” Strickland admitted, despite his record-setting throw of over 160-feet in the discus Saturday.

Ralston Valley girls soccer completes clean sweep in 5A Je co

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — It took a week to complete, but the long wait was worth it for Ralston Valley’s girls soccer team. e Mustangs defeated Arvada West 5-0 on Friday at the North Area Athletic Complex. Ralston Valley (12-2-1, 7-0 in Class 5A Je co League) nished o an undefeated conference mark along with winning its rst girls soccer league title since 2013.

“It was 100 percent,” Ralston Valley coach Kamee Morwood said after her team was presented the league championship plaque by Ralston Valley principal Mica Buenning. “ is group of girls bought in from the beginning. It has been so fun to watch them do what they do.” e cross-town rivalry played less than 10 minutes on April 26 at the NAAC before lightning postponed the game. e Wildcats and Mustangs returned seven days later to nish the regular-season and 5A Jeffco  nale.

“I was excited. We just wanted to nish this game,” Ralston Valley senior goalie Margot Mulhern said after the Mustangs’ 8th shutout win of the season. “We came out a little tired in the last game (April 26), but we came out today with a lot of re and motivation. We really wanted to win this game.”

Ralston Valley o cially clinched the league title May 1 at Lakewood Memorial with a 5-0 shutout victory over Lakewood, but nishing the regular season in style was important.

“We did come ready to play. It was nice to not have that pressure,” Morwood said about the Mustangs already clinching the league title earlier in the week. “Today they just had to come out and play.”

e leading goal scorer in 5A — Ralston Valley junior Raleigh Greason — came ready to play and showed why she is one of the top players in the state with a hat-trick.  Greason bent in a corner kick into the goal in the 15th minute to give the Mustangs a 1-0 lead. Ten minutes later she had a nifty ick past Arvada West senior goalie Isabelle Lalouetteto put Ralston Valley up 2-0 at halftime.

“I knew I had the goalie behind me and a player on me,” Greason said.

“Sammi (Madden) hit it and I was in the perfect spot to hit it and get it right over her (goalie). at was my plan.”

e Texas Tech University-commit has ve hat-tricks on the season for a 5A leading 29 goals.

“She is just unreal,” Morwood said of Greason. “She is so talented and a great leader. She is something.”

Ralston Valley freshman Santana Sabus got into the scoring action with her 13th goal of the season in the 46th minute. Greason completed her 3-goal performance with a hard shot in the 50th minute to give the Mustangs a commanding 4-0 lead.

“I know we’ll get a couple more the next couple of weeks,” Greason said of being one goal short of 30. “It’s a goal of mine to just keep scoring and help my team score goals. Twentynine (goals) is good for me, but not enough. I want to keep it going.”

Ralston Valley freshman Lauren Sabus scored in the nal minute for the Mustangs to make it a 5-0 victory.

Ralston Valley was No. 6 in the CHSAA Selection & Seeding Index before the 9th straight victory of the Mustangs to end the regular season. A top-8 seed for the 5A state tournament would potentially give the Mustangs rst- and second-round home playo games at NAAC next week.

“It’s great. ey aren’t done playing here (at NAAC) and I’m not done watching them play here,” Morwood

maybe be on the side of the bracket where we get a third.”

NAAC will host two of the four quarter nals scheduled for May 13. e 32-team state bracket will be released Sunday, May 5.  “ at’s a big thing for us to play home games here. We have such a great community,” Greason said. “ is winning steak is a big thing for us. Winning this league undefeated is something we haven’t done since 2013. It was a big goal that we got done, now we have more going into playo s.”

A-West (8-6-1, 4-3) was No. 24 in the seeding ranking before the loss. e Wildcats were slated to be on the road for the rst round that was scheduled for May 8.

Ralston Valley won the Class 5A Je co League title for the first time in 10 years. The Mustangs completed a 7-0 conference record with a dominating 5-0 victory over rival Arvada West on Friday, May 3, at the North Area Athletic Complex.

TOWN OF BOW MAR, COLORADO ORDINANCE NO. 341

AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF BOW MAR AMENDING CHAPTER 11 OF THE BOW MAR MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING THE TOWN’S RIGHT OF WAY CODE

WHEREAS, obstructions, boring, and excavations in the Town of Bow Mar (the “Town”) rights of way disrupt and interfere with public use of the rights of way;

WHEREAS, obstructions, boring, and excavations in Town rights of way result in loss of parking and have the potential to negatively impact the public health, safety and welfare of the Bow Mar community;

WHEREAS, it is desirable to adopt policies and regulations which will enable the Town to gain greater control over the disruption and interference with the public use of public streets and rights of way, to provide for the health, safety and well-being of the Town’s residents and users of Town streets;

WHEREAS, significant public funds have been invested to acquire, build, maintain and repair the streets within the Town and cuts and excavations in the streets reduce the useful life of the pavement infrastructure;

WHEREAS, significant public funds have been invested to place and maintain landscaping within public rights of way in the Town and cuts and excavations in the public rights of way cause damage to, and increase the costs of maintaining that landscaping;

WHEREAS, at the present time, the Town’s Department of Public Works does not have a detailed map or database indicating the location, nature, or extent of the entire system underground utility and telecommunications facilities;

WHEREAS, the various public and commercial utilities, broadband and communications providers and similar entities which install, maintain, and operate facilities under the Town’s streets are constrained, from time to time, to make excavation cuts which degrade the surfaces of these thoroughfares, thereby reducing their useful life;

WHEREAS, operators of motor vehicles (private and commercial) pay added gasoline taxes to compensate for the damage their vehicles cause to Town streets and roads. Part of these taxes are used by the federal government (the federal highway “trust fund”) for construction and maintenance of interstate and federal highways. The State of Colorado annually transfers revenue from gasoline taxes to the Town for street maintenance. Public and commercial utilities, broadband and communications providers and similar entities which degrade the streets presently do not adequately pay for the direct costs of the damage done to the roadway surfaces;

WHEREAS, demand for access to broadband services is growing, and to fill such demand, more broadband network infrastructure is being installed in Rights of Way;

WHEREAS, in nearby jurisdictions, the demand for access and the number of entities seeking to install Facilities has sometimes resulted in multiple, serial Excavations within the Rights of Way, which can and has resulted in traffic disruption, a weakening of pavement integrity, and a shortening of the useful life of paved surfaces, the effect of which can be mitigated with proper planning and oversight as set forth herein;

WHEREAS, while Colorado statutes, particularly, C.R.S. § 38-5.5-109, contains some procedures for addressing joint trenching in connection with broadband provider operations in the Rights of Way, at the present time there is no formal mechanism nor legal requirement that all public and commercial entities coordinate Excavation in the Rights of Way, and construct Facilities in a manner that will minimize future

Excavations; and

WHEREAS, the Town intends to responsibly manage its Rights of Way by anticipating such demand and planning accordingly.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it enacted by the Town of Bow Mar as follows:

Section 1. Repeal and Replace Chapter 11, Article 1 of the Bow Mar Municipal Bode. Chapter 11, Article 1 of the Bow Mar Municipal Code is hereby repealed in its entirety and reenacted as follows:

Sec. 11-1. – Purpose and Objectives.

A. Purpose. This Article provides principles, procedures and associated funding for the placement and coordination of Structures and Facilities, construction excavation encroachments and Work activities within or upon any Public Rights of Way, and to protect the integrity of the road system within the Town. To achieve these purposes, it is necessary to require permits of private users of the Public Rights of Way, to establish Permit procedures and to fix and collect fees and charges.

B. Objectives. Public and private uses of Public Rights of Way for location of Facilities employed in the provision of public services should, in the interests of the general welfare, be accommodated; however, the Town must ensure that the primary purpose of the Rights of Way, the safe and efficient passage of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, is maintained to the greatest extent possible. In addition, the value of other public and private installations, roadways, Facilities and properties should be protected, competing uses must be reconciled, and the public safety preserved. The use of the Rights of Way corridors for location of Facilities is secondary to these public objectives. This Article is intended to strike a balance between the public need for efficient, safe transportation routes and the use of Rights of Way for location of Facilities by public and private entities. It thus has several objectives:

1. To ensure that the public safety is maintained and that public inconvenience is minimized.

2. To protect the Town’s and other Public Infrastructure investment by establishing repair standards for the pavement, Facilities, and property in the Public Rights of way, when Work is accomplished.

3. To facilitate Work within the Rights of Way through the standardization of regulations.

4. To maintain an efficient Permit process.

5. To conserve and fairly apportion the limited physical capacity of the Public Rights of Way held in public trust by the Town.

6. To establish a public policy for enabling the Town to discharge its public trust consistent with the rapidly evolving federal and state regulatory policies, industry competition and technological development.

7. To promote and incentivize cooperation among the Permittees (as defined herein) and the Town in the occupation of the Public Rights of Way, and Work therein, to (i) eliminate duplication of construction that is wasteful, unnecessary or unsightly, (ii) lower the Permittee’s program costs and the Town’s costs of providing services to the public, and (iii) minimize street cuts.

C. Permit transferability or assignability. The Applicant may subcontract the Work to be performed under a Permit provided that the Permittee shall be and remain responsible for the performance of the Work under the Permit and all insurance and financial security as required. Permits are transferable and assignable if the transferee or assignee posts all required security pursuant to this Article and agrees to be bound by all requirements of the Permit and the Code.

D. Except as provided in Section 11-24 of this Code, any Person or utility found to be occupying or conducting any excavation activity within the Public Rights of Way without having first obtained the required Permit(s) shall immediately cease all activity (exclusive of actions required to stabilize the area) and be required to obtain a Permit before Work may be restarted. A surcharge to be set by Board of Trustees resolution shall be required in addition to all applicable Permit fees.

E. A Permit is not required for a homeowner seeking to make a curb cut or connect any driveway or other means of residential access to any Public Rights of Way within the Town, provided that no Work or Major Excavation Work, as defined in this Article, is required for such project. Prior to commencing such a project, a homeowner shall submit a Driveway Application, on forms furnished by the Commissioner.

Sec. 11-6. – Blanket Maintenance Permits

A. A Public Rights of Way Permit shall not be required for Routine Maintenance in the Public Rights of Way. However, other maintenance operations within the Public Rights of Way which involve traffic lane closures shall require a Public Rights of Way Permit. To expedite the process for ongoing maintenance operations, owners of Facilities within the Public Rights of Way may, at their sole option and in the alternative to obtaining individual public Rights of Way permits, obtain a blanket maintenance Permit pursuant to this Section.

B. A blanket maintenance Permit shall be valid from the date of issuance of the Permit for up to twelve (12) consecutive months. Under no circumstances shall a blanket maintenance Permit be valid for more than one (1) year.

C. A blanket maintenance Permit shall not, under any circumstances, authorize any pavement disturbance or installation of new Facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, existing Facilities may be removed and replaced with new Facilities, if no Major Excavation Work or pavement disturbance is required.

D. Any Person seeking a blanket maintenance Permit shall file an application on a form provided by the Town which includes the following information:

1. The date of application.

2. The name, address and telephone number of the Applicant.

3. A general description of the maintenance operations.

4. Any location of maintenance operations known at the time of application.

Work performed pursuant to a blanket maintenance Permit shall not be subject to the specific inspections set forth in Section 11-11 of this Code, but may be subject to random inspection by the Town to ensure compliance with the terms of the blanket maintenance Permit and applicable provisions of this Code.

Sec. 11-7. – Permit Fee

Before a Permit is issued pursuant to this Article, the Applicant shall pay to the Town a Permit fee, which shall be determined in accordance with a fee schedule adopted by the Town Board of Trustees by resolution. Fees will be reasonably related to the costs inherent in managing the Public Rights of Way. As used in this Article, these costs include without limitation the costs of permitting Rights of Way occupants, verifying Rights of Way occupation, mapping Rights of Way occupations, inspecting job sites and Rights of Way restorations, and administering this Article.

Sec. 11-8. – Insurance and Indemnification

A. Unless otherwise specified in a franchise agreement between the Permittee and the Town, prior to the granting of any Permit, the Permittee shall file with the Town an insurance policy or certificate in a form satisfactory to the Town with coverage as follows:

1. The Permittee shall carry and maintain in full effect at all times a commercial general liability policy, including broad form property damage, completed operations contractual liability, explosion hazard, collapse hazard, underground property damage hazard, commonly known as XCU, for limits not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) each occurrence for damages of bodily injury or death to one or more Persons; and one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) each occurrence for damage to or destruction of property.

2. Workers compensation insurance as required by state law.

3. Town departments shall be relieved of the obligation of submitting a certificate of insurance.

4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commissioner may waive any insurance requirement or other requirements addressing financial security for (i) a governmental entity, or (ii) other entity if such other entity is deemed to provide sufficient coverage through selfinsurance, in their sole discretion.

B. Whenever any Person has filed with the Town evidence of insurance or self-insurance as required, any additional or subsequent Permit holder in the employ of said initial Person may, at the discretion of the Town, be excused from depositing or filing any additional evidence of insurance if such employee is fully covered by the Permittee’s insurance policy.

C. Each Permittee shall construct, maintain, and operate its Facilities in a manner which provides protection against injury or damage to Persons or property.

1. The Permittee, for itself and its related entities, agents, employees, subcontractors, and the agents and employees of said subcontractors, shall save the Town harmless, defend, and indemnify the Town, its successors, assigns, officers, employees, agents, and appointed and elected officials from and against all liability or damage and all claims or demands whatsoever in nature unless caused by the negligent or intentional acts of the Town, and reimburse the Town for all its reasonable expenses, as incurred, arising out of the installation, maintenance, operation or any other Work or activity in the Public Rights of Way or by the Permittee related to its use thereof, including without limitation the actions of the Permittee, its employees, agents, Contractors, related entities, successors and assigns, or the securing of and the exercise by the Permittee of the Permit rights granted in the Permit, including any third party claims, administrative hearings, and litigation; whether or not any act or omission complained of is authorized, allowed, or prohibited by this Code or other applicable law.

2. Following receipt of written notification of any claim the Permittee shall have the right to defend the Town regarding all third-party actions, damages and penalties arising in any way out of the exercise of any rights

in the Permit. If at any time, however, Permittee refuses to defend, and the Town elects to defend itself regarding such matters, the Permittee shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by the Town related to its defense.

3. If the Town institutes litigation against the Permittee for a breach of the Permit or for an interpretation of this Article and the Town is the prevailing party, the Permittee shall reimburse the Town for all costs related hereto, including reasonable attorney’s fees. The Permittee shall not be obligated to hold harmless or indemnify the Town for claims or demands to the extent that they are due to the negligence, or any intentional or willful acts of the Town or any of its officers, employees, or agents.

4. In the event the Permittee is a public entity, the indemnification requirements of this section shall be subject to the provisions of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, C.R.S. § 24-10-102, et seq.

Sec. 11-9. – Performance Bond or Letter of Credit

A. Unless otherwise specified in a franchise agreement between the Permittee and the Town, before any Permit required by this chapter shall be issued to an Applicant, the Applicant shall file with the Commissioner a bond or letter of credit in favor of the Town in an amount equal to the total cost of construction, including labor and materials, or five thousand dollars ($5000.00), whichever is greater. The bond or letter of credit shall be executed by the Applicant as principal and by at least one surety upon whom service of process may be had in the state. The bond or letter of credit shall be conditioned upon the Applicant fully complying with all provisions of the Permit, and upon payment of all judgments and costs rendered against the Applicant for any violation of Permit provisions that may be recovered against the Applicant by any Person for damages arising out of any negligent or wrongful acts of the Applicant in the performance of Work done pursuant to the Permit. The Town may bring an action on the bond or letter of credit on its own behalf or on behalf of any Person so aggrieved as beneficiary. The bond or letter of credit must be approved by the Town’s Finance Commissioner as to form and as to the responsibility of the surety thereon prior to the issuance of the Permit. However, the Town may waive the requirements of any such bond or letter of credit or may permit the Applicant to post a bond without surety thereon upon finding that the Applicant has financial stability and assets located in the state to satisfy any claims intended to be protected against the security required by this section.

B. A letter of responsibility will be accepted in lieu of a performance bond or letter of credit from all public utilities, all franchised entities, and all metropolitan, water and sanitation districts operating within the Town.

C. The performance bond, letter of credit or letter of responsibility shall remain in force and effect for a minimum of two (2) years after completion and acceptance of the street cut, excavation or lane closure.

Sec. 11-10. – Performance Warranty and Guarantee

A. Any warranty made hereunder shall serve as security for the performance of Work necessary to repair the Public Rights of Way if the Permittee fails to make the necessary repairs or to complete the Work under the Permit.

B. The Permittee, by acceptance of the Permit, expressly warrants and guarantees complete performance of the Work in a manner acceptable to the Town and warrants and guarantees all Work done for a period of two (2) years after the date of probationary acceptance, and agrees to maintain upon demand and to make all necessary repairs during the two (2) year period. This warranty shall include all repairs and actions needed as a result of:

1. Defects in workmanship;

2. Settling of fills or excavations;

3. Any unauthorized deviations from the approved plans and Specifications;

4. Failure to barricade;

5. Failure to clean up during and after performance of the Work; and

6. Any other violation of this chapter or the ordinances of the Town.

C. The two (2) year warranty period shall run from the date of the Town’s probationary acceptance of the Work. If repairs are required during the two (2) year warranty period, those repairs need only be warranted until the end of the initial two (2) year period starting with the date of probationary acceptance. It is not necessary that a new two (2) year warranty be provided for subsequent repairs after probationary acceptance.

D. At any time prior to completion of the two (2) year warranty period, the Town may notify the Permittee in writing of any needed repairs. Such repairs shall be completed within twenty-four (24) hours if the defects are determined by the Town to be an imminent danger to the public health, safety and welfare. Non-Emergency repairs shall be completed within thirty (30) calendar days after notice.

The warranty described in this section shall cover only those areas of Work undertaken by a Permittee, and not directly impacted by the Work of any other Permittee or the Town. If a portion of Work warranted by Permittee is subsequently impacted by Work of another Permittee or the Town during the warranty period, that other Permittee or the Town shall assume responsibility for repair to the subsequently impacted section of Rights of Way.

Sec. 11-11. – Inspections

A minimum of three inspections shall take place. First, the Permittee shall request that the Town conduct a pre-construction inspection, to determine any necessary conditions for the Permit. Second, the Permittee shall request a post-construction inspection following the completion of the Work. Probationary acceptance will be made if all Work meets Town and Permit standards. Third, approximately thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the two year guarantee, the Permittee shall request that the Town conduct a final inspection of the completed Work. If the Work is still satisfactory the bond or letter of credit shall be returned or allowed to expire, with a letter of final acceptance, less any amounts needed to complete Work not done by Permittee. Upon review of the application for a Permit, the Commissioner shall determine how many additional inspections, if any, may be required. For Work which does not involve material disturbance in the Rights of Way, the Commissioner shall waive the final inspection and the performance bond or letter of credit.

Sec. 11-12. – Public Safety

The Permittee shall maintain a safe Work area, free of safety hazards. The Town may make any repair necessary to eliminate any safety hazards not performed as directed. Any such Work performed by the Town shall be completed and billed to the Permittee. The Permittee shall pay all such charges within 30 days of the statement date. If the Permittee fails to pay such charges within the prescribed time period, the Town may, in addition to taking other collection remedies, seek reimbursement through the warranty guarantee. The Town shall not issue any further Permits of any kind to said Permittee, until all outstanding charges (except those outstanding charges that are honestly and reasonably disputed by the Permittee and being negotiated in good faith with the Town) have been paid in full.

Sec. 11-13. – Time of Completion

All Work covered by the Permit shall be completed by the date stated on the application. Permits shall be void if Work has not commenced within forty-five (45) days after issuance, unless an extension has been granted by the Commissioner. Performance bonds, letters of credit or letters of responsibility deposited as a performance warranty guarantee for individual Permits will be returned after voiding of the Permit, with administrative and any other Town costs deducted.

Sec. 11-14. – Traffic Control

A. When it is necessary to obstruct traffic, a traffic control plan shall be submitted to the Town prior to starting construction. No Permit will be issued until the plan is approved by the Town. No Permittee shall block access to and from private property, block emergency vehicles, block access to fire hydrants, fire stations, fire escapes, water valves, underground vaults, valve housing Structures, or any other vital equipment unless the Permittee provides the Town with written verification of written notice delivered to the Owner or occupant of the facility, equipment or property at least 48 hours in advance. If a street closing is desired, the Applicant will request the assistance and obtain the approval of the Commissioner. It shall be the responsibility of the Permittee to notify and coordinate all Work in the Public Way with police, fire, ambulance, other government entities, and transit organizations.

B. When necessary for public safety, the Permittee shall employ flag persons whose duties shall be to control traffic around or through the construction site. The use of flag persons may be required by the Commissioner.

C. Unless approved by the Commissioner, the Permittee shall not impede rush hour traffic during the morning or evening rush hours. No construction shall be performed, nor shall any traffic lane be closed to traffic during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. or 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. without the approval of the Commissioner.

D. Traffic control devices, as defined in Part VI of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, must be used whenever it is necessary to close a traffic lane or sidewalk. Traffic control devices are to be supplied by the Permittee. If used at night, they must be reflectorized and must be illuminated or have barricade warning lights if requested by the Commissioner.

E. Oil flares or kerosene lanterns are not allowed as means of illumination. Nighttime Work area flood lighting shall not be allowed to spill out of the construction area in such a way as to disturb, annoy, or endanger the comfort, health, or peace of others.

F. Part VI of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices or any successor publication thereto shall be used as a guide for all maintenance and construction signing. The Permittee shall illustrate on the Permit the warning and control devices proposed for use. At the direction of the Commissioner, such warning and control devices shall be modified.

G. Maintenance and Construction Signing. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining all Work area signing and barricading during construction operations as well as any signs and barricades that are needed to protect roadway users and pedestrians during non-work hours. During non-work hours, all construction Work area signs that are not appropriate shall be removed, covered, or turned around so that they do not face traffic. Any deficiencies noted during nonwork hours by the Town shall be corrected immediately by the Contractor. For purposes of this section “immediately” means 30 minutes from verbal notification. If Contractor is not available or cannot be found, the Town may make such corrections and the Contractor shall pay the actual costs plus a penalty of fifty percent (50%) of the amount thereof.

Sec. 11-15. – General Rights of Way Use and Construction

A. Minimal Interference. Work in the Rights of Way, on other public property, near public property, or on or near private property shall be done in a manner that causes the least interference with the rights and reasonable convenience of property owners and residents. Permittee’s Facilities shall be constructed and maintained in such manner as not to interfere with sewers, water pipes, or any other property of the Town, or with any other pipes, wires, Conduits, pedestals, Structures, or other Facilities that may have been laid in the Rights of Way by, or under, the Town’s authority. The Permittee’s Facilities shall be located, erected and maintained so as not to endanger or interfere with the lives of Persons, or to interfere with new improvements the Town may deem proper to make or to unnecessarily hinder or obstruct the free use of the Rights of Way or other public property, and shall not interfere with the travel and use of public places by the public during the construction, repair, operation or removal thereof, and shall not obstruct or impede traffic, except as approved under a traffic control plan or as provided under Section 11-24 of this Code.

B. Underground Construction and Use of Poles.

1. When required by general ordinances, resolutions, regulations or rules of the Town or applicable state or federal law, Permittee’s Facilities shall be placed underground at no cost to the Town. Placing Facilities underground does not preclude the use of groundmounted Appurtenances.

2. Where all Facilities are installed underground at the time of Permittee’s construction, or when all such Facilities are subsequently placed underground, all Permittee Facilities that by their nature can function underground, shall also be placed underground at no expense to the Town unless funding is generally available for such relocation to all users of the Rights of Way. Related equipment, such as pedestals, must be placed in accordance with the Town’s applicable code requirements and rules.

3. Should the Town desire to place its own Facilities in trenches or bores opened by the Permittee, the Permittee shall cooperate with the Town in any construction by the Permittee that involves trenching or boring, provided that the Town has first notified the Permittee in some manner that it is interested in sharing the trenches or bores in the area where the Permittee’s construction is occurring. The Permittee shall allow the Town to place its Facilities in the Permittee’s trenches and bores, provided the Town incurs any incremental increase in cost of the trenching and boring. Should the Town desire to install Facilities such as Ducts or Conduit for the possible use of other entities, then the Permittee shall allow the Town to place these Facilities in the Permittee’s trenches and bores, provided the Town shares proportionally in the cost of trenching and boring. The Town shall be responsible for

Continued to Next Page No. Bow Mar

Public Notices

maintaining its respective Facilities buried in the Permittee’s trenches and bores under this paragraph.

D. Use of Conduits by the Town. Unless otherwise restricted by tariff, the Town may install or affix and maintain its own Facilities for Town purposes in or upon any of Permittee’s Ducts, Conduits or equipment in the Rights of Way and other public places, at a charge to be negotiated between the parties, to the extent space therein or thereon is reasonably available, and pursuant to all applicable ordinances and codes. For the purposes of this subsection, “Town purposes” include without limitation the use of the Structures and installations for Town fire, police, traffic, water, telephone, or signal systems.

E. Common Users.

1. The Rights of Way have a finite capacity for containing Facilities. Therefore, whenever the Town determines it is impracticable to permit construction of an underground Conduit system by any other entity which may at the time have authority to construct or maintain Conduits or Ducts in the Rights of Way, but excluding entities providing services in competition with Permittee, and unless otherwise prohibited by federal or state law or regulations, the Town may require Permittee to afford to such entity the right to use Permittee’s Surplus Ducts or Conduits in common with Permittee, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an agreement for use of Surplus Ducts or Conduits entered into by Permittee and the other entity. Nothing herein shall require Permittee to enter into an agreement with such entity if, in Permittee’s reasonable determination, such an agreement could compromise the integrity of the Permittee’s Facilities.

2. All Facilities shall meet any applicable local, state, and federal clearance and other safety requirements, be adequately grounded and anchored, and meet the provisions of contracts executed between Permittee and the other common user. Permittee may, at its option, correct any attachment deficiencies and charge the common user for its costs. Each common user shall pay Permittee for any fines, fees, damages or other costs the common user’s attachments cause Permittee to incur.

Sec. 11-16. – Joint Planning and Construction Coordination of Excavations

A. Excavations in Town Rights of Way disrupt and interfere with the public use of Town streets and can either damage the pavement and Landscaping or preclude future Landscaping or other installations in the Right of Way. The purpose of this Section is to reduce this disruption, interference and damage of the Right of Way by promoting and incentivizing better coordination among Permittees making excavations and the Town. Better coordination will assist in minimizing the number of excavations being made wherever feasible, and will ensure the excavations in Town Rights of Way are, to the maximum extent possible, combined or performed before, rather than after, the resurfacing of the streets by the Town.

B. Any Permittee owning, operating or installing Facilities in Town Rights of Way, providing water, sewer, gas, electric, broadband, communication, video or other utility services, shall meet and present at the request of the Town (but not more frequently than once per year ) with the Commissioner, at the Commissioner’s request, the Permittee’s infrastructure master plan, and discuss any issues of concern regarding Permittee’s infrastructure located within Town Rights of Way. At such intervals, to the extent not already in possession of the Town, Permittee shall submit documentation, in a form required by the Commissioner, showing a location of the Permittee’s existing, currently proposed, and future to be proposed Facilities in the Town Rights of Way, and any Facilities in Town Rights of Way that may be or are planned to be taken out of use. Permittee shall discuss with the Commissioner, its infrastructure master plan, and identify planned Major Excavation Work in the Town. The Commissioner may make their own record on a map, drawing or other documentation, of each Permittee’s planned Major Excavation Work in the Town; provided, however, that no such document prepared by the Commissioner shall identify a particular entity, or the planned Major Excavation Work of that particular entity.

C. For Permittees that have not previously installed any Facilities in Town Rights of Way, Permittee shall meet with the Commissioner to discuss its initial infrastructure master plan no later than sixty (60) days after submitting its first Permit application. Thereafter, each Permittee shall submit annually, on the first regular business day of January, a revised and updated infrastructure master plan. Such revised and updated plan shall be submitted in both hard copy and digital format. Between the annual meetings to discuss planned Major Excavation Work, Permittee shall use its best efforts

to inform the Commissioner of any substantial changes in the planned Major Excavation Work discussed at the annual meeting.

D. The Commissioner shall review the infrastructure master plan and identify conflicts and opportunities for coordination of Excavations. Following receipt of the Permittee’s existing currently proposed, and future Major Work mapping information, the Commissioner may electronically post the information so that it can be reviewed by affected Owners and Permittees of such conflicts and opportunities to the extent necessary to maximize coordination of Excavation. Each Applicant for a Permit shall coordinate, to the extent practicable, with planned Town operations and each potentially affected Owner and Permittee to minimize disruption in the Rights of Way, regardless of whether such coordination was initiated by the Commissioner.

E. The Town may disclose information contained in a Permittee’s infrastructure master plan to any public or private entity planning on conducting Excavation activities in the Rights of Way only on a need-to-know basis to facilitate coordination among excavators and to avoid unnecessary Excavation in the Rights of Way. To the maximum extent permissible under the Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. § 24-72-201, et seq., as amended, the Town shall not otherwise disclose to the public any information contained in mapping information submitted by a Permittee that is proprietary, trade secret or is otherwise protected from disclosure; provided, however that the Town shall have no duty to decline to disclose any information that the Permittee has not identified on its face as proprietary, trade secret or otherwise protected from disclosure. The Town shall notify a Permittee of any request for inspection of public records that calls for disclosure of any infrastructure master plan on which any information has been identified as proprietary, trade secret or otherwise protected from disclosure. The Town shall consult with the Town Attorney regarding any such request and shall inform the affected Permittee either that the Town will refuse to disclose the protected information or, if there is no proper basis for such refusal, that the Town intends to disclose the requested information unless ordered otherwise by a court.

F. The Commissioner shall prepare a Repaving Plan showing the street resurfacing planned by the Town. For purposes of this Section, the Repaving Plan shall include a landscaping or other right of way improvement plan. The Repaving Plan shall be revised and updated on an annual basis after meeting to discuss the Permittee’s and Town Department’s master plans and updates. The Commissioner shall make the Town’s Repaving Plan available for public inspection. In addition to any other form of communication, after determining the street resurfacing Work that is proposed for each year, the Commissioner shall post a notice of the proposed Work on the Town’s website or other designated electronic location, to provide notice of the proposed street resurfacing Work to all Permittees that have had an annual meeting with the Commissioner, and those broadband providers that are identified on the list maintained by the Colorado Department of Transportation pursuant to C.R.S. § 385.5-109 (1)(b).

G. Prior to applying for a Permit, any Person planning to Excavate in the Town’s Rights of Way shall review the Town’s Repaving Plan on file with the Commissioner and shall coordinate, to the extent practicable, with the utility and street Work shown on such plans to minimize damage to, and avoid undue disruption and interference with the public use of such Rights of Way. Without such coordination, future Work within Repaved areas may be limited in the discretion of the Commissioner, to prevent premature disturbance of newly paved surfaces.

H. Prior to undertaking any Work in the Rights of Way or related Landscaping, the Town may notify all Permittees of the Town Work to be performed. Upon such notification, all Permittees shall, within seven (7) days, locate their Facilities in the Rights of Way in which the Work will be performed, and provide documentation in a format acceptable to the Commissioner of the Permittee’s Facilities in that Rights of Way.

Sec. 11-17. – Joint Excavation

A. Private Entity Excavators. Whenever two or more Permittees propose Major Work in the same block within a one-year period, such Work shall be performed by one private entity excavator. For purposes of this subsection, the private entity excavators shall coordinate all permits as a single Permit Applicant and shall submit one application.

B. Public Entity Excavator and Private Entity Excavator. Whenever a public entity excavator(s) and a private entity excavator(s) propose Major Work in the same block within a three-year period, the Department shall condition Permits for such Work in a manner that

maximizes coordination and minimizes the total period of construction.

C. Excavations Not Identified on Major Work Plans. When an Applicant seeks a Permit for an Excavation, and such Excavation has not been identified on a Major Excavation Plan so as to allow the Town to coordinate joint Excavation prior to application as set forth in subsections A through B of this section, an Applicant may, in the discretion of the Commissioner, be required to circulate a description of the proposed Excavation to other Permittees and parties described in Section 11-16(E) to determine whether any Persons have construction requirements or opportunities for coordinating joint Excavations along the proposed route.

1. The Persons notified should be provided with the Applicant’s proposed route plan, the target commencement date and the estimated completion date.

2. Within ten (10) working days after the notification required by this subsection, any interested Person must notify the Applicant of their requirements so that the Applicant may incorporate these requirements, where reasonable, in its Permit application. The Applicant should summarize the responses it receives from other Persons in its Application.

3. If the Applicant believes that it is not reasonably feasible to entertain the requests made by another Person(s) for conditions of joint Excavation, it should notify Town and the other Person(s) within ten (10) working days from the date of receiving the requirements from the other Person(s) and provide reasons why it is considered not reasonable to do so. The parties are expected to endeavor to resolve any technical or commercial concerns among themselves, and the Applicant shall report the results of these efforts together with its application for a Permit.

D. Waiver of Joint Excavation Requirements. Permit Applicants may seek a waiver of the joint Excavation requirements with respect to a particular Excavation.

1. Except in cases of Emergencies, within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of a written request for a waiver, the Commissioner, in their discretion, may grant a waiver to the joint Excavation requirements for good cause. In making their decision on the request for waiver, the Commissioner shall consider the impact of the proposed Excavation on the neighborhood, the Applicant’s need to provide services to a property or area, facilitating the deployment of new technology and improved services, and the public health, safety, welfare, and convenience. The Commissioner shall indicate in written, electronic, or facsimile communication the basis for granting any waiver pursuant to this subsection.

2. The Commissioner may waive the requirements for joint Excavation in cases where Emergency conditions exist.

3. The Commissioner may place additional conditions on any Permit(s) subject to a waiver, including, without limitation, the charging of additional fees. The Commissioner’s decision regarding waivers of the joint Excavation requirements shall be final.

Sec. 11-18. – Minimizing the Impacts of Work in the Rights of Way

A. Relocation and Protection of Utilities. Before beginning excavation in any Public Way, a Permittee shall contact the Utility Notification Center of Colorado (UNCC) and, to the extent required by C.R.S. § 9-1.5101 et seq., make inquiries of all ditch companies, utility companies, broadband providers, districts, local government departments, and all other agencies that might have Facilities in the area of Work to determine possible conflicts. The Permittee shall contact the UNCC and request field locations of all Facilities in the area pursuant to UNCC requirements. Field locations shall be marked prior to commencing Work.

of Way of the Town.

1. Pavement cuts and trenches shall be backfilled in conformance with the Municipal Government Pavement Engineers Council (“MGPEC”) Pavement Design Standards and Construction Specification Manual.

Concrete meeting or exceeding the MGPEC Pavement Design Standards and Construction Specification Manual shall be used to replace concrete pavement or flatwork wherever it occurs.

3. Asphalt that meets or exceeds Grade SX PG64-22 shall be used for the top layer of asphalt. For any layers below the top layer, asphalt that meets for exceeds Grade S PG 64-22 shall be used.

Sec. 11-21. – Construction and Restoration Standards for Newly Overlayed Streets

No Person shall cause an open trench excavation or potholing of utilities in the pavement of any Public Rights of Way for a period of three (3) years from the completion of construction or resurfacing except in compliance with the provisions of this Section.

A. Application. Any application for a Permit to Excavate in Public Rights of Way subject to the requirements of this section shall contain the following information:

1. A detailed and dimensional engineering plan that identifies and accurately represents the Town Rights of Way or property that will be impacted by the proposed excavation, as well as adjacent streets, and the method of construction.

2. The street width including curb and gutter over the total length of each Town block that will be impacted by the proposed excavation.

3. The location, width, length, and depth of the proposed excavation.

4. The total area of existing street pavement in each individual Town block that will be impacted by the proposed excavation.

5. A written statement addressing the criteria for approval.

B. Criteria for Approval. No Permit for excavation in the Rights of Way of newly overlaid streets shall be approved unless the Commissioner finds that all of the following criteria have been met:

1. Boring or jacking without disturbing the pavement is not practical due to physical characteristics of the street or other utility conflicts.

2. Alternative utility alignments that do not involve excavating the street are found to be impracticable.

3. The proposed excavation cannot reasonably be delayed until after the three (3) year deferment period has lapsed.

C. Exemptions for Emergency Operations. Emergency maintenance operations shall be limited to circumstances involving the preservation of life, property, or the restoration of customer service. Persons with prior authorization from the Town to perform Emergency maintenance operations within the Public Rights of Way, shall be exempted from this section. Any Person commencing Emergency maintenance operations shall submit detailed engineering plans, construction methods and remediation plans no later than three Working days after initiating the Emergency maintenance operation.

D. Exemptions for Non-Emergency Operations. A Permittee may apply to the Commissioner for an exemption under this section when the construction is necessary in the public interest or to provide a public service. By way of example, but not by limitation, an exemption could be requested to provide services to a part of the Town where no service would be available without construction. If a non-Emergency exemption is granted to disturb a Public Way within the three (3) year period, the Commissioner may, in their sole discretion, impose additional restoration requirements, including but not necessarily limited to, repaving of a larger area, such as an entire block in which the construction occurs.

E. Construction and Restoration Standards for Newly Overlayed Streets. The streets shall be restored and repaired in conformance with the MGPEC Design Standards and Construction Specification Manual and

RENTALS

Senate Bill 33 seemed to have a better shot at passing than its predecessors because it was drafted by the Legislative Oversight Committee Concerning Tax Policy and Task Force, an interim panel. Measures drafted by interim committees typically pass because of the extra scrutiny they receive.

Senate Bill 33 was rst introduced in the legislature in January. It’s rst committee hearing was continuously delayed as Hansen tried to nd a path forward for the measure. But, ultimately, the opposition proved too great.

Short-term rental property owners, who showed up in force at the Capitol to oppose the bill, said that if the legislation passed they would be forced to sell their homes or reduce their rental nights to avoid the

legislation’s 90-day threshold.

“ is new bill … unfairly and discriminately singles out STR owners,” Kristine Lee, who owns a shortterm rental in Summit County, testi ed Tuesday night. “You see us as a cash cow.”

Lee said in reality she’s not making much money on her rental property as nightly rates decrease as demand wanes. She recently had to give up her property manager because she couldn’t a ord it.

Proponents of the measure saw it as a way to level the playing eld between hotels and vacation home rentals, which are taxed at much lower rates than commercial properties. It would also generate more money for schools and local districts, which are funded by property tax revenue. Some high-country hotels have converted into privately owned short-term rentals in recent years, which proponents contend has reduced local government property tax revenues.

Moreover, some see short-term rentals as a key driver of housing costs and availability in resort towns, which are increasingly unaffordable to Colorado residents.

e state estimates there are 24,100 short-term rentals in all of Colorado that rent more than 90 days a year.

“To the extent that we allowed businesses to be taxed at the lower residential level, we lose out on potential funding to support K-12 education,” Meghan Raynes Matthews, director of government a airs for the Colorado Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union, testi ed Tuesday night. “Senate Bill 33 closes a loophole.”

Even Gov. Jared Polis has expressed support for taxing residential properties used as short-term rentals at the same rate as hotels, though he didn’t speci cally endorse Senate Bill 33 as the way to do that.

e short-term rental taxation

conversation isn’t over at the Capitol this year.

House Bill 1299, introduced by Rep. Shannon Bird, D-Westminster, as a gentler alternative to Senate Bill 33, is still pending. It would impose the commercial property tax rate on properties o ered as short-term rentals but only when they belong to a person or business that owns at least two other homes.

House Bill 1299 is awaiting its rst committee hearing in the House, scheduled next week. It’s unclear if that measure will move forward given that Senate Bill 33 has failed.

e legislature is expected to debate broader changes to the state’s property tax code. at may include a provision or provisions charging higher taxes on people’s second or subsequent homes.
