e City of Westminster this week hired an outside attorney to handle issues surrounding Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, which has drawn local detractors who say the noise and lead pollution generated from the facility’s piston-powered aircraft is endangering residents.
e move to hire an outside counsel comes after an intergovernmental group charged with monitoring noise complaints lodged against the RMMA voted to dissolve earlier
this month.
e Community Noise Roundtable was made up of representatives from the airport’s neighboring communities.
Critics said the CNR’s issues were ignored by the airport and Je erson County o cials. RMMA o cials said they are working to resolve problems posed by an expanding airport.
Westminster voted to keep the CNR running.
e dissolution of the CNR prompted the city to hire Margaret Martin, a partner at ompson Burton, PLLC, and the founder of Martin Airport Law, LLC.
e city’s contract with Martin is $15,000 for legal expenses, according to a sta memo to the city council, which voted to retain Martin this week.
e Nashville-based Martin ad-
vises clients on projects at the intersection of the public and private sectors, with a focus on airports, aviation, public-private partnerships, and public contracting, according to the sta report.
According to the memo, Martin’s experience with airport issues would bene t Westminster now that the CNR is o cially dead.
“Given the increased focus on issues surrounding the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport neighboring the City and the recent dissolution of the Community Noise Roundtable, sta recommends retaining an attorney with aviation expertise,” the memo states. “Ms. Martin’s background in aviation law can assist the city in this area.”
Both Superior and Boulder County are suing Je erson County, owner and operator of RMMA, to quell the operations of piston-engine aircraft conducting touch-and-go operations at the airport, according to a complaint led in Boulder District Court in March.
Annual operations at the airport are largely made up of training ights, the suit states. According to Je erson County, in 2023 more than 155,000 operations were “local general aviation” ights which Je erson County “presumed to be almost entirely training operations.” e training ights are conducted in piston-engine aircraft—the only type of aircraft still using fuel containing lead—which are primarily owned and operated by the four ight schools operating at the airport, the lawsuit states.
e noise coming from the aircraft is causing one set of health problems while lead-particulate pollution from airport tra c rains down on local neighborhoods, according to the lawsuit.
City Councilors were scheduled to discuss noise and lead pollution reportedly linked to the airport in a work session, city spokesman Andy Le said via email.
Airport critic claims HB241235 still does not go far enough to quiet the impacts from local GA airportsBY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A new state law paves the way for local general aviation airports to become a little quieter and safer for neighbors who live near them, a state lawmaker said this week.
e bill – HB24-1235 – provides nancial incentives for aircraft owners to convert their planes to use unleaded fuel. Airports must also work harder to come up with plans to mu e aircraft noise, said Sen. Rachel Zenzinger.
Zenzinger represents Adams and Je erson counties. e noise and pollution generated by piston-
powered aircraft using lead fuel at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, which is owned by Je erson County, has led to lawsuits and persistent complaints about the environmental damage caused by aircraft tra c, Zenzinger said.
She was a co-sponsor of HB241235, which is awaiting the signature of Gov. Jared Polis.
“Communities I represent in Jefferson County are experiencing rsthand the e ects of aviation nose and lead pollution,” Zenzinger said via email. “ ese adverse impacts take a toll on a person’s well-being and simply shouldn’t have to be part of life for folks living near regional airports like Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport.”
“ is important bill,” Zenzinger said, “is our response to community concerns to help neighborhoods and airport nd a way to coexist, protect the health of Coloradans,
Last Wednesday, I joined 50+ metro area Realtors for a “progressive model home tour” at the Painted Prairie subdivision in Aurora, just south of the Gaylord Rockies resort near DIA. The weather was perfect, and the turnout must have exceeded expectations since the food ran out early at the seven different builder sales centers on the tour.
Six builders partnered in this event which was sponsored by the two metro area Realtor associations — Denver Metro and South Metro. It was well planned and executed, with registration happening at Honeysuckle Park, and the sales offices of the builders all within walking distance. Free shuttles ran constantly, too.
gas forced air furnaces and gas water heaters that I have seen over the last decade at new-home subdivisions.
tification but didn’t want to pay the EPA’s fee for it.
Of these builders, Meritage has the best reputation for sustainability. Our office did a field trip to their Richards Farm subdivision in Arvada many years ago, and we were impressed at their use of spray foam insulation and conditioned attics. Instead of finding further progress toward sustainability, I found that only the front and back walls of the Painted Prairie homes have spray foam insulation, although they still have conditioned attics.
Last week I wrote about the new “Energy Star NextGen” certification, which requires all-electric design, not just Energy Star appliances. None of these builders even aspire to that certification. For that, you need to look at Thrive Home Builders, which is building allelectric homes in Loretta Heights, Baseline (Boulder), and Lone Tree. Thrive homes are also EPA Indoor airPLUS qualified, something not even mentioned by any of the Painted Prairie builders.
At registration we were given a map of the sales offices. The participating builders were KB Home, Berkeley Homes, David Weekley Homes, Meritage Homes, Remington Homes, and New Home Co.
KB Home had two sales offices on the 7-stop tour — one for their paired homes and one for single-family homes. I had my own agenda for that day. I wanted to know what innovations and sustainability features these builders were incorporating in their 2024 products. I saw very little of either. These were the same stick-built homes with
All the builders are installing highefficiency gas forced air furnaces (93% to 96% efficient). There wasn’t a heat pump system in any of the homes, nor was a heat pump upgrade possible. All the water heaters are gas units, half of them tankless, and a heat pump water heater is not available as an upgrade, despite the huge tax credits available.
Several of the builders were including 220V wiring to the garage for electric vehicles and prewiring or conduits for roof-top solar PV — making them “solar ready” — but both were options if available at all.
All of the builders said their homes are “Energy Star certified,” except for one which claims to qualify for that cer-
If I were in the market for a new home, I would certainly look at a Thrive Home Builders community.
All the builders promoted the fact that they will continue paying a co-op commission — typically 3% on the base price at closing — to agents who bring them a buyer. Given the turmoil in the resale market regarding buyer agent compensation, a new home is the one purchase in which buyers can have professional representation without paying for it themselves. This will not be going away.
Sustainability aside, there was one builder at Painted Prairie that I liked, a company I had never heard of before — New Home Co. What impressed me
was their lack of upgrade fees. You can choose different styles of cabinets and countertops, but you don’t pay extra for any of them. Also, they had some innovative electrical components, and they include a video doorbell. They also give buyers $30,000 to use for buying down the mortgage interest rate to 3.5% the first year, 4.5% the second year and 5.5% for 28 years.
As in many new subdivisions, the infrastructure for Painted Prairie was funded by Metro Tax District bonds. The district has its own mill levy to pay off those bonds. While the HOA dues are spelled out on the MLS, the mill levy is not. At www.LifeAtPaintedPrairie.com the district mill levy is revealed — over 75 mills.

One of the housing bills signed by Gov. Jared Polis this month was one which requires larger municipalities and unincorporated communities to allow the building of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on lots zoned for single family homes. Like the other new housing laws, this one is designed to address the shortage of housing units by increasing density.
The new law emphasizes that ADUs provide compact, affordable housing options in established neighborhoods with minimal impact on infrastructure, addressing various housing needs such as rental income generation for homeowners and intergenerational living arrangements.
The law underscores ADUs’ role in addressing childcare deserts and facilitating aging in place, particularly significant as Colorado's population ages. ADUs are noted
for their energy efficiency, environmental benefits, and cost-effectiveness, aligning with the state’s goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting climate targets.
Furthermore, the law acknowledges the impact of local land-use regulations on ADU construction and affordability, advocating for more permissive regulations to increase housing supply, stabilize costs, and promote equitable homeownership. It emphasizes the need for consistent regulations to foster a robust ADU market and facilitate affordable housing solutions statewide.
Ultimately, the law declares increasing ADU construction or conversion as a matter of mixed statewide and local concern, recognizing the broader implications for housing affordability and community development across Colorado.

and make sure our state remains a great place to live and raise a family.”
According to a fact sheet provided by Zenzinger, HB24-1235 would:
Create a tax credit for aircraft owners to convert or have their planes certi ed to use unleaded aviation fuel. is tax credit is estimated to cost the state $800 next year and less than $18,000 the following year.
Designate state funding of up to $1.5 million per year to help transition away from leaded fuel.
Expand the allowable uses of the state’s aviation grant program to include funding for infrastructure that will accelerate the state’s transition away from leaded aviation fuel.
Ensure that airports in populated areas are working with their communities to establish voluntary noise abatement plans and plans to transition away from unleaded fuel.
Provide communities who are disproportionately a ected by aviation with a voice in statewide
conversations about aviation by expanding the aeronautics board. Instruct the Division of Aeronautics and the Department of Public Health and Environment to continue to aid airports and communities regarding both noise and lead issues.
e bill comes as the state’s pop-
ulation has grown and neighborhoods and communities nd themselves in closer proximity to general aviation airports that are increasing aviation activity, according to the fact sheet.
e Denver Metro area is home to two of the top ve airports with the most general aviation (or GA) activity in the country – Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport and Centennial Airport, according to the Pilot Institute.
Many of the small planes own at GA airports by pilots-in-training and recreation pilots still rely on leaded fuel and produce noise pollution. With increased FAA training requirements, there is more GA tra c over our communities, and therefore more lead exposure and signi cant noise, according to the fact sheet.
e EPA found that aircraft that use leaded aviation gasoline are a leading source of lead emissions in our air. As there is no safe level of lead exposure for children, excessive exposure to lead has many harmful health e ects across various bodily functions, the fact sheet states.
While the Federal Eliminate Aviation Gasoline Lead Emissions (EAGLE) Initiative pledges to eliminate leaded aviation fuels by the end of 2030, transitioning planes from leaded to unleaded fuel requires investmenting in plane modi cations and airport infrastructure. Additionally, unleaded fuel is currently more expensive than leaded fuel, according to the fact sheet.
Better, but not enough
RMMA critic Charlene Willey is glad the issue of aviation activity bumping up against local communities became a topic at the 2024 Legislature. ere is still much more to be done on the issue, Willey said in an email.
“Overall, I am glad that this legislation was introduced and passed our legislature this year. I know that both aviation lobbyists and community groups were watching as it made its way through the process,” Willey said.
Still… “the bill won’t make any signi cant changes in the lives of airport neighbors who endure airplane noise and air pollution,” she said.
“However, the reaction from the aviation groups tells me much more,” Willey said. “When rst introduced, their reaction was an overwhelming “NO!” to everything. However, when lobbyists joined the fray, they realized that total opposition to all provisions was not the right strategy,” she said.
Airport backers managed to get rid of most mandates in the original bill while keeping the subsidies for transition to unleaded on a timetable that mimics the federal EAGLE initiative (https://www.faa.gov/unleaded), Willey said.
“Colorado airports can delay even having a plan for the transition until 1/1/25. But now they have money to make it cheaper for pilots to certify their planes,” she said.
O cials with the Colorado Pilots Association could not be reached for comment.
Councilors say Winter deserves a second chance and a second ethics complaint is not needed
A majority of Westminster City Councilors Monday night brushed aside a request that they le an ethics complaint against State Sen. Faith Winter for reportedly being intoxicated at a Northglenn public meeting last month.
Councilor Kristine Ireland pushed for the council to lodge the complaint against Winter, saying the senator could have killed someone while driving drunk to the Northglenn meeting. Winter, Ireland said, “...represents me. She was driving down an Adams County road…she could have killed someone.”
Other councilors said ling a second ethics complaint against Win-
ter – after Northglenn has already done so – would be just piling on.
“To me, it’s a little unfair,” Mayor Nancy McNally said. “I think it would be seen as trying to jump on the bandwagon.”
e Northglenn City Council voted unanimously in April to le an ethics complaint against Winter and send it to state senate leaders.
e complaint said Winters showed up drunk at an April 3 community meeting called to discuss a controversial move by the state to place group homes in a Northglenn neighborhood that would house convicted sex o enders.
Northglenn council members said there was no other way to punish Winter for her conduct since she is term-limited and can’t be voted out of o ce. Anyone else who showed up drunk to their job would face dire consequences, council members said.
“None of us can show up at a council meeting and be intoxicated,” said Northglenn Mayor Pro
Tem Shannon Lukeman-Hiromasa before voting to le the ethics complaint. “In some way, shape or form, we would face consequences. I think we need to send a clear message that you cannot show up to a job in that manner.”
Winter, in a May 1 letter to the city council, apologized for her behavior at the community meeting and said her actions that night led her to seek treatment for substance abuse disorder.
“ is is not something that happened in Westminster,” Westminster Councilor Amber Hott said Monday night. “She has taken responsibility for what she did. Everybody deserves a second chance.”
Winter said in her letter that “coming forward so publicly to admit I had a substance abuse disorder has been incredibly scary and hard,” Winter said in her letter which was emailed Wednesday afternoon. “And I recognize how meaningful leading policy from lived experience.”
Westminster City Council declined to call for the censure of State Senator Faith Winter, shown in a 2021 file photo. Winter was allegedly drunk when she attended an April 3 public meeting in Northglenn concerning mental health transitional housing. FILE PHOTO
Winter served on the Westminster City Council for seven years beginning in 2007, eventually being named Mayor Pro-Tem by the other councilors. She was rst elected to the Colorado Legislature in 2014, representing Colorado House District 35 and was eventually elected to represent State Senate District 24.
Busy weekend for teen mom nonprofit also includes Mother’s Day car giveaway

overnor Polis and the Democrat legislative leadership would have you believe that the property tax relief legislation which was passed and signed into law was a huge coup to bene t taxpayers. eir statements could be interpreted as lowering taxes from what we will pay this year. But before you swallow that belief hook, line and sinker, you need to go beyond their rhetoric.
First, read Democrat Senate President Steve Fenberg’s (D-Boulder) statement -” e bill we passed (SB24233) this session will save Coloradoans money on their property taxes, ensure homeowners don’t see an increase in their property taxes for 2024, and starting in ‘25 and beyond, will implement additional relief and cash increases to avoid future property tax spikes.”
People are more important than power
Observing the current number of rightward political moves in the world in—around the globe and here in the USA – we might ask whether there are so many aws in what we expect from democracy to justify abandoning it.
In this century the pro-Brexit movement assured British voters that withdrawal from the European Union would divert millions of pounds from Brussels to the British National Health Service, a agrant lie that ensured passage of Brexit and hollowed out the country’s economy.
And here at home, approximately half of the voting public adheres to
‘information’ from sources known to broadcast lies in the pursuit of market share. You might conclude that those conditions vital to e ective democracy are, today, absent indeed.
But if voting is a duty, how does one reconcile universal su rage with the need for voters to be educated? How do voters di erentiate between reputable news sources and those that tell the voter what he really wants to be true? Because a candidate at any level of government in democracy can accumulate votes simply by uttering what the voter wants to hear.
Democracies today tend to be destroyed not by invading forces but from within, and ours could be in-
cluded; CPAC has recently declared its intention to “overthrow it completely.”
But if our democracy is overthrown in this era of rising authoritarianism, is it really a problem? e answer, of course, is yes, because electoral democracy’s crucial value is its ability to prevent the abuse of power in government. A system in which no single branch of government is omnipotent is designed to prevent leaders from concentrating and abusing power. We can and should deplore the lack of attention, the prejudices, the willful ignorance of issues, and the headlong rush to embrace unqualied candidates that all too commonly characterize our electorate.
We can and should wish for education and understanding in civics that match the importance of the issues under debate.
But when it comes to favoring autocracy over democracy — the sublimation of choice, voice and representation that seems benign but burgeons into despotism —we must remember the sine qua non of our form of government: in all its ine ciencies and hindrances, it exists to recognize people as more important than power.
As we complete our ballots this year and every year we should apply this litmus test to every vote we take.
Christopher Stimpson, Westminster
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis gets summoned almost daily to deliver remarks. On a recent Friday, for example, he donned an orange jersey to honor former Bronco Randy Gradishar on the west steps of the Capitol.
Earlier that day, Polis had been on the Capitol’s east steps. ere, he praised a new energy e ciency and bene cial electri cation program o ered by Tri-State Generation and Transmission.
e credit is deserved. Tri-State, Colorado’s second largest electrical generator, is not the same utility that it was 20 years ago, when it was planning a giant new coal plant. It’s pivoting fast from coal to renewables.
But can Tri-State reinvent itself even more? e loss of member electrical cooperatives suggests existential problems. Just two mornings before the announcement at the Capitol, United Power had become independent. e lights didn’t blink. e Brightonbased cooperative has 111,000 members, primarily in the suburban and industrialized areas of the north metro area. It was by far Tri-State’s largest member.
Other coops are also leaving. Granby-based Mountain Parks will be gone next January. Durango-based La Plata Electric Association gave its two-year notice in March. Tri-State will soon have 30% less demand for the electricity it provides.
Departing members have cited the desire for lower-cost electricity and greater exibility to generate more electricity locally. e exodus began in 2016. Many expected Kit Carson Electric Cooperative to stumble. Instead, it has soared. Last summer, it completed enough solar capacity around Taos, N.M., to meet 100% of its members’ daytime needs. It also completed the $37 million payment required to leave remaining Tri-State members whole.
I began following Tri-State in 2005. To nance a giant new coal plant in southwestern Kansas, it asked its then 44 member cooperatives to extend their all-requirements contracts to 2050. Kit
Allen Best
Carson refused. So did Colorado’s Delta-Montrose Electric.
In 2006, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius denied a permit for the coal plant. It was believed to be the rst denial of a coal plant on the grounds of global warming impacts.
At the time, Tri-State was furious. Eventually, it did get a permit. By then, costs of renewables had plummeted, coal costs had increased. Maybe Tri-State should erect a statute to Sebelius. ink of the problems for Tri-State were it saddled with the cost of that outdated energy technology.
Now, Tri-State is rapidly building its renewable generation portfolio as it prepares to close the three coal-burning units in Craig between 2025 and 2030. By decade’s end, it expects to be at 70% renewables across its four-state service territory.
Building renewable generation can have its own challenges. In Colorado’s Kiowa County, along the Kansas border, the Cheyenne want greater visual distance between the wind turbines planned for Xcel Energy and the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site. Proposed solar projects near Pueblo and Durango have been blocked or slowed.
Near Aspen, a solar project took a long time to gain approval. at delay was despite a wild re in 2018 that came within one wooden transmission line of putting the resort in the dark during the busy Fourth of July weekend. Solar and storage are part of Holy Cross Energy’s plan for a microgrid, to allow Aspen and Snowmass Village temporary functionality when without electricity from the outside grid.
Holy Cross, an electrical cooperative, has 45,000 members in the semi-urbanized triangle of Aspen, Battlement Mesa and Vail.
Centennial State ranks highly for indie bookstores per capita; shopkeepers say neighborhoods benefit
BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COMAs the school year comes to a close for some and the summer begins for all, Coloradans may be looking for something to ll their time. Luckily, they need to look no further than their local bookstores, which o er community, games and more, beyond books.
While big box stores and bookselling chains o er wide selections and thorough organizational systems, smaller stores allow for customers to converse with someone well-versed in the pages they spend each day around.
Here are six local independent bookstores worth checking out in the Denver metro area.
Capitol Hill Books | Denver
300 East Colfax Ave., Denver, Colorado 80203 | (303)-837-0700 | info@capitolhillbooks.com | capitolhillbooks. com |Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day Bringing books to Denver for 44 years, Capitol Hill Books houses a large collection of used and rare books. Both its placement and longevity have made the store a neighborhood staple.
“Everyone has seen this store as they drive through town,” said owner Ben Hall, who has spent 15 years working there, the last year and a half as owner. “It’s one of the de ning features of Cap Hill, our sign that says used books.”
In addition to being a Colfax mainstay, Hall believes the store serves an
important place in the community.
“I think having a neighborhood bookstore is important,” Hall said. “A neighborhood used bookstore gives everyone in the neighborhood a chance to nd something to read. You can do that at a library too, but maybe you want to take it home.
“It just means more people in the neighborhood will spend time reading,” Hall added. “Maybe I’m biased, but I think that’s important.”
Petals and Pages of Denver
956 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, Colorado 80204 | info@petalsandpagesofdenver.com | petalsandpagesofdenver. com | Open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, closed Mondays
Petals and Pages o ers a bit more than your average bookstore. e queer woman-owned shop is both a bookstore and ower shop — with a bakery coming soon.
e shop also serves as a community space, with a variety of events every month. With book clubs covering a range of genres—such as romance, poetry, social justice, fantasy, queer literature and more—any reader can nd a club for them. For those that simply want a place to read, the store also o er read-a-thons.
However, the events aren’t limited to books. From game nights to burlesque classes to oral classes to speed dating, Petals and Pages has many classes and events to bring people together.
Sudden Fiction Books | Castle Rock
221 Perry St., Castle Rock, Colorado 80104 | (303)-856-8181 | hello@ sudden ctionbooks.com | suddenctionbooks.com| Open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays through ursdays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays Inside of Ecclesia Market, Sudden Fiction Books brings new and used books across many genres to Castle Rock.
“Our bookstore prioritizes working with the community and re ecting their interests,” said bookseller Luxe Palmer. “ e community builds us up. I think we keep a very good relationship with our patrons, which is something that big box bookstores are not able to do.” e store not only o ers a place to shop for books, but a place to nd community, with book clubs and “Local Author Saturdays,” where a couple of local authors will spend the day hanging out and chatting about books.
“Working at an independent bookstore gives us a lot of opportunity to be able to interact with the customers and help them nd exactly what they need,” Palmer said. “It’s an absolute joy to work here.”
The Book Stop | Wheat Ridge
10840 West 44th Ave., Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033 | (303)-4254960 | srebooks@abookstop.com | https://www.abookstop.com/ | Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays
Since 1987, e Book Stop has brought books to Wheat Ridge. e store has a bit of everything, o ering customers books across a wide variety of genres. With over 70,000 books in its inventory, e Book Stop has something for everyone, inviting customers to come get lost in the maze of bookshelves.
Black and Read | Arvada 7821 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada, CO 80003 | (303)-467-3236 | blackandread19@gmail.com | https:// blackandread.com/ | Open 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays
Bringing Arvada more than just books, Black and Read is an independent bookstore that also sells music and games.
For over 30 years, the store has
used books and rare books, but its inventory doesn’t stop there. e store also o ers a wide variety of physical media, ranging from vinyls and CD’s to DVD’s and cassettes. For gamers, the store has board games and role-playing games.
“I’m kinda the board game expert here,” said bookseller Ben Boskoss. “So they brought me on to help with that, and I’ve been learning more of the books side of things as well.”
With a maze of books and more at the ready, Black and Read is a shop to browse and enjoy.
“It’s always great seeing local shoppers coming in and out,” Boskoss said.
Spell Books | Littleton
2376 Main St., Littleton, Colorado 80120 | (303)-954-0094 | info@spellbooksco.com |spellbooksco.com |
Open noon to 5 p.m. Mondays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays
One of Main Street’s newest additions, Spell Books brings a curated selection to those looking for unique reads.
“We’re highly curated simply because we don’t have a lot of space,” said owner Corey Dahl. “I think we have a lot of small press and under the radar gems that people won’t nd at bigger stores.”
Dahl also said she focused on curating a good space, alongside a good book selection.
“We have a di erent vibe too,” Dahl said. “I did all the decor; it’s all thrifted. I just wanted to make it cozy; like grandma’s house, if grandma was a witch.”
In addition to housing books, the store is also home to several community events, including book clubs, poetry readings, writing workshops and “Friday Night Read ‘n Writes” — where attendees can spend a few hours reading or writing with others.
“Bookstores are a great community driver,” Dahl said. “You can buy a book online but you don’t get to talk to anyone about it, you don’t get to have that kismit moment of nding the book in person.”
With a variety of community events, Spell Books o ers a space to connect through books.
“Reading feels like it’s supposed to be a solitary activity but I think it’s the opposite,” Dahl said. “I think you’re supposed to connect with people through reading.”
‘The
Spring is prom season, which makes it the perfect time for Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center to host the Colorado premiere of the joyous Broadway musical, “ e Prom.”
“Some theaters are known for doing tried-and-true classics ey’re intended to entertain. Other theaters are known for producing newer ‘thinkers,’ or message-pieces.
ey’re intended to inspire,” wrote Steven Burge, marketing manager at the arts center. “Town Hall Arts Center believes you can do both and ‘ e Prom’ is perfect for that intent.”
“ e Prom” runs at the Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 Main St. in Littleton, from Friday, May 24 through Sunday, June 23. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. ursday, Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday.
e show follows a quartet of Broadway stars who are trying to nd a good cause to champion as a way to get back into the spotlight. When they hear about a small town in Indiana that is refusing to allow a young woman to take her girlfriend to the prom, they think they’ve found what they’re looking for.
“It’s a classic forbidden love story that we’ve all seen and loved and rooted for, for years. But it is a couple’s story that isn’t told every day,” Burge wrote. “While entertaining and uplifting the spirits of our audience members is the overarching goal, if we can do that and amplify the voices of queer youth at the same time, that’s great.”
e show features music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin and the book by Bob Martin Beguelin. e cast is made up of new faces and longtime Town Hall favorites,
Clarke Reader
like Margie Lamb and Sonsharae Tull, as well as Piper Lindsay Arpan, an actual Broadway performer who was a Radio City Rockette and performed in the Broadway production of Monty Python’s “Spamalot.”
Burge describes the music as very emblematic of contemporary musical theater show tunes, with some nods to Bob Fosse and Stephen Sondheim thrown in for good musical-theater-nerd measure.
When all of this is combined, it makes “ e Prom” the perfect show to end the theater’s season and welcome summer to the state.
“We hope folks will leave humming and smiling, and feeling a little bit lighter and happier than they felt coming into the theater,” Burge added. “We hope that people will see that there is quality, cultural theatrical entertainment to be experienced outside of Denver. Littleton community members, Highlands Ranchers and south suburbanites in general can nd award-winning musical theater right here on Main Street, Littleton.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Maggie Rogers at Red Rocks
Maggie Rogers makes the kind of music that can sweep you away if you let it. Since her debut studio album, “Heard It in a Past Life” was released, she’s been a favorite of those looking for depth to go with their musical earworms. Just a month ago, Rog-
ers released her third record, “Don’t Forget Me,” and it’s one of the year’s best. She’s said she wants the album to sound like a Sunday afternoon, and she certainly delivered.
In support of the album, Rogers is bringing her Don’t Forget Me Tour to Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, May 27, and Tuesday, May 28. As opener, she’s tapped e Japanese House, one of my favorite alt rock performers.

But will the much-heralded tax relief bring property taxes back below what we paid in 2023? e answer is no.
According to Common Sense Institute, “Under SB24-233, Coloradoans will still see an increase in property taxes from what is being paid today. Next year, Colorado homeowners will pay more than the elevated amounts from the spike in 2023 paid this year. In 2025, the same year as the next reassessment period (on property values), property tax rates will increase, setting Coloradoans up for another increase in their property tax bills.”
In a simpler statement, Sage Naumann, who wrote a legislative summary for the Denver Gazette, stated “SB24-233 won’t actually cut property taxes as they currently stand, but it does slow the rate of increases in the
future. While that falls short of what many are asking for, Sens. Kirkmeyer, Hansen, and others deserve credit for the bipartisan e ort. At least, should any measure fail in November (Initiative 50 or Initiative 108), future increases won’t be as painful.”
As you can see, it is all in the eye of the beholder and how you wish to spin it.
Ballot propositions on property tax relief
e big motivator for our State Legislature to produce expected tax relief this past session was two pending property tax relief ballot issues. e legislature is opposed to both of them and stuck with their approach. Let’s compare what each would do to lighten the load for taxpayers.
e law passed by the legislature will save taxpayers $950 million when compared to no action on their part at all. Plus, it caps future annual increases at 5.5% per year compared to the 27%-40% increases which landed on top of us, e ective this year.
However, there is an exemption for school districts - which is a hungry property tax generator - collecting more than 50% of property tax revenues throughout Colorado.
ere are two proposed ballot issues which hit the issue head-on, o ering more savings, but have a consequence. One of the measures would reduce the statewide assessment rate producing a tax savings of $2 billion. e other one would impose a hard 4% cap on the maximum allowed taxes to be raised annually.
According to J.J. Ament, President and CEO of the Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, the legislative solution “misses the mark.” Ament added that if SB24-233 represents the best and nal o er from the side of tax collectors, the two ballot measures represent the nal and best offer from the perspective of taxpayers. e downside of the ballot issues is that if both pass, there would be large de cits in revenues to school districts and some special districts ( re districts).
I predict the public will look out for their own pocketbooks and vote for the two ballot issues as opposed to sticking with the governor’s and state legislature’s solution, which keeps the districts whole. People are still coping with in ation and high interest rates which cause them to look out for their monthly cost of living. If the ballot measures pass, the legislature will be forced to re-address school district and special district nancing.
Change in strategy paid o for Democrat
In last year’s legislative session, the Democrats tried for home runs, but in most cases resulted in strikeouts or y balls. is session they purposefully focused on base hits which led to numerous victories. Less was more because they divided up major legislative goals into several piece-meal legislative endeavors.
However, when you put the individual “wins” together, they achieved the whole thing. e most obvious of this tactic was the whole land use package. By breaking up the package into individual pieces of legislation, it allowed the opportunity to modify each proposal to more easily be accepted and approved. Secondly, it avoided a “winner take all” approach, like what happened at the end of last year’s legislative session. irdly, the Democrats were more willing this session to compromise on each legislative piece while keeping their eye on the prize. So, removing limits on how many non-related people can live together in a rental property got approved. O -street parking mandates im-
posed by local governments were erased. Auxiliary Dwelling Units (ADU’s) are now the law of the land in the Denver metro area, Colorado Springs and Pueblo.
Finally, they got the Big Kahuna: achieving high residential density state mandates to produce anticipated a ordable housing regardless of local zoning codes.
So, kudos to the Governor and the Democrat legislative leadership on their break through session.
As I previously mentioned in earlier columns, “a ordable housing” is not easy to achieve. As we saw with the Overlook at Uplands apartment development in the eastern portion of Westminster’s Uplands development, it takes a strong mixture of key ingredients from a variety of players to produce lower cost per unit housing. Local
municipalities must be willing to waive fees, building use taxes and forgo extra architectural featureswhich all cost hard dollars.
At the same time, sta and city council must guard against “the Eastern European Russian Look” in building materials and design.
I am referring to stark design with concrete exteriors.
Tax credits are an essential component to keep the net cost down. Reasonably priced, if not free, land plays a key role as well. Grants and viable interest rates on construction nancing and certainly permanent nancing must take place. Along the way, hopefully interest rates will calm down as well as building materials.
Even with these factors, there is still risk. It remains to be seen how many apartment buildings will jump into this new free for all.
When addressing ADU’s, there are certain givens that force the
cost upward. Each ADU will be required to purchase both water and sewer taps. is represents over $26,000 in Westminster right from the get-go. Utility tap fees cannot be waived in most municipalities. An ADU probably cannot be built for less than $300,000. at price tag is quite limiting in itself eliminating many individuals or small families from qualifying for a mortgage.
I am not trying to burst the Governor’s bubble, but getting all of the numbers to work is quite challenging. Likely, it will be 18-24 months before we see apartments being built in transit corridors which come under this new state mandate. Who knows what interest rates and the cost of building materials will be by the start of 2026 to mid-2026.
Golden Eagles take top prize; 2nd seed Thornton loses to Grandview
BY STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIAAfter 11 match points and a certain number of gnawed-o ngernails among its fans, Mountain Vista’s boys volleyball team captured its rst boys state volleyball title on May 11.
e Golden Eagles (27-2) turned back Fountain-Fort Carson 25-21, 25-23, 26-28, 30-28 at Overland High School. e Trojans nished with a mark of 26-4.
“A lot of it was attitude,” said junior outside hitter Luke Colquette, who nished with 18 kills, tops on the squad. “We worked well as a team. When we needed to pull through, we stayed focused and relaxed.”
Dax Wittren had 12 kills for Mountain Vista. Trevor Robinson added 10 and an ace. Ethan Ploetz and Alex Gio Nicandro had seven kills for the Trojans. Jonathan Lozan added three aces, while Nicandro and Trystan Maloney contributed two.
e fourth set wasn’t all about the nine match points for the Golden Eagles.
Fountain-Fort Carson led 11-2 before Mountain Vista launched a comeback. A hitting error gave the Golden Eagles their rst lead of the set. e lead grew to 24-19, which began the string of match points.
“It was a little too close for my liking,” said senior Reed Richardson, who nished with four kills. “We had to come out on top. We knew if we gave our all into that one point, one point would waterfall into 25 points and eventually into 30. It was a little stressful, so I might have some (gray hair) later tonight.”
“You have to bring your team together and take it one play at a time. Everyone has a common goal,” Colquette said. “It’s hard to do. But the more practice you get – like anything else – the easier it becomes.”
“Everyone on this team treats each other like brothers,” Richardson said.
“We know how to come together. It was amazing to see us do that and come out a state champion.”
e two teams made their inaugural appearance in the state nals. Richardson said his team “went out with a bang.”
“Last year, we didn’t place too well. e year before, we didn’t even qualify,” he said. “To come this far in this program in such a short amount of time is really impressive. At the beginning of the season, we knew how strong we were individually but not as a team. As the season progressed, it surprised me how
well we gelled. It surprised me how much we grew as a team.”
“I thought we were going to win state at the beginning,” Colquette said. “I’m happy, but I don’t know if I’m surprised.”
Douglas County High School, Littleton Public Schools and ornton High School sent teams to this year’s tournament. Littleton’s squad came within one win of playing in thenals, thanks in large part to the play of hitters Shawn Zheng and Brady Wiggins.
Zheng, a senior, compiled 24 kills in the semi nal round loss to Foun-
tain-Fort Carson on May 11. Zheng, a junior, nished with 18 kills in that ve-set match plus an ace. LPS nished with a record of 24-6. ornton (22-4) was the second seed in the tournament. Braxton McGonigle led the Trojans with eight kills in a consolation round loss to Grandview High School on May 10. Brock Ellis added four and three aces. Elisha ao also served up three aces. Douglas County (17-10) was the eighth seed in the tournament. Jensen Pascua picked up eight kills in a consolation-round loss to Grandview on May 9. Seth Dickerson added ve.

2024CW3058 PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF COLORADO, A COLORADO CORPORATION (“PSCo”) APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS AND APPROPRIATIVE RIGHT OF EXCHANGE IN CLEAR CREEK, JEFFERSON, DENVER, ADAMS, AND WELD COUNTIES. 1. Name, Address and Telephone of Applicant: Public Service Company of Colorado, a Colorado Corporation (“PSCo”), 1800 Larimer Street, Suite 1300, Denver, Colorado 80202. Wesley.L.Eversole@xcelenergy.com Telephone: (303) 285-6858. Please direct all correspondence or inquiries regarding this matter to the attorneys for the Applicant: Carolyn F. Burr, Esq., James M. Noble, Esq., Kyle B. Howe, Esq. Welborn Sullivan Meck & Tooley, P.C., 1401 Lawrence Street, Suite 1800, Denver, Colorado 80202. Telephone: (303) 830-2500. 2. Introduction. 2.1 PSCo is a public utility and the owner and operator of a number of power generation stations, including the Cherokee Station (“Cherokee”) located on the west side of the South Platte River at 62nd Ave. and York Street, the Rocky Mountain Energy Center (“RMEC”) located just east of Hudson, Colorado, and Fort St. Vrain Station (“FSV”) located near the confluence of St. Vrain Creek and the South Platte River. 2.2 PSCo has entered into a long-term lease with Albert Frei & Sons, Inc., a Colorado corporation to provide water for industrial purposes at the Walstrum Quarry, located adjacent to Clear Creek at the intersection of U.S. Highway 6 and I-70 near Idaho Springs. Albert Frei and Sons and the Walstrum Quarry have since been acquired by Martin Marietta Materials (“Martin Marietta”). PSCo may also provide leased water to Martin Marietta’s Specification Aggregates Quarry, located in Golden northwest of the intersection of U.S. Highway 40 and Interstate 70 (the “Spec Agg Quarry”). 2.3 PSCo owns 303.5 shares in the Fisher Ditch Company, which has a total of 1,344 active shares, and 734.4 shares in the United Water Company, which has a total of 963 active shares and itself owns 604 shares of the Fisher Ditch Company. Between its Fisher Shares and United Shares, PSCo owns 764.1 shares of the Fisher Ditch Company, which represents 56.9% of the total number of Fisher Ditch shares. PSCo’s Fisher Ditch shares and United shares (collectively, the “Subject Water Rights”) were previously quantified and changed from irrigation to, among other uses, industrial use at Cherokee Station in Case Nos. 91CW5, 95CW156, and 02CW54. 2.4 In this application, PSCo seeks the following: 2.4.1 to change the Subject Water Rights to add the Walstrum Quarry, Spec Agg Quarry, Rocky Mountain Energy Center, and Fort St. Vrain Generating Station as additional places of use; and 2.4.2 to change the portion of the Subject Water Rights previously changed in Case No. 91CW5 to add augmentation as an additional type of use; and 2.4.3 to change the Subject Water Rights to add Stagecoach Reservoir as an additional place of storage; and 2.4.4 a new appropriative right of exchange of the Subject Water Rights from augmentation stations that PSCo is entitled to use that are located within the Fisher/United System upstream for diversion and use at the Walstrum Quarry or storage at Clear Lake Reservoir (“Clear Creek Exchange II”). A schematic map showing the structures involved in this application is included as Exhibit A Change of Water Rights 3. Decreed Water Right for which Change is Sought: 3.1.

The actual point of diversion is located on the south bank of Clear Creek in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 17, Township 3 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P. M., Adams County, Colorado at a point which is approximately 60 feet east and 200 feet south of the Northwest corner of Section 17. 3.6.

PSCo changed 287 Fisher Shares and 635.625 United Shares from direct flow to direct flow and storage for industrial use at the Cherokee Station. 3.7.5 Case No. 95CW156. PSCo changed 9 Fisher Shares and 44.75 United Shares for use, reuse and successive use for industrial purposes, storage, evaporative replacement, replacing return flow obligations, exchange and augmentation purposes. In addition, the historic consumptive use of the Fisher and United Shares that were changed in Case No. 91CW5 was changed again to be a source of substitute supply for the exchange decreed in Case No. 95CW157. 3.7.6 Case No. 02CW54. PSCo changed 7.5 Fisher Shares and 54 United Shares for industrial purposes, including evaporation replacement, use, reuse and successive use for immediate use or storage and subsequent use, exchange, replacement of depletions and augmentation. These shares were not decreed as a source of substitute supply for the 95CW157 Exchange. 3.8 Prior Quantification of Historic Consumptive Use of Subject Water Rights. The historical consumptive use of the Subject Water Rights was previously quantified in Case Nos. 91CW5, 95CW156 and 02CW54, and is not subject to reconsideration pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-305(3)(e). The following table summarizes the historical consumptive use in terms of the monthly, annual, and long-term limits of the Subject Water Rights that were previously decreed.

Pursuant to the Original Decree, these exchanges are part of a unified extensive system for the collection, treatment and distribution of water operated by Aurora. For the purposes of showing diligence as to completion of the appropriative rights of exchange decreed in the Original Decree, diligence as to any part of the Aurora water rights system used to operate or benefits from these exchanges shall be diligence as to the completion of the exchanges. Project Specific Efforts: During the diligence period of August 2017 through March 2024, Aurora has done at least the following work toward completion of the appropriation and application of the water rights decreed in the Original Decree (expenditure numbers are rounded to the nearest $1,000). Metro Wastewater Reclamation District Charges: Aurora expended at least $169,542,000 during this diligence period for fees for wastewater treatment of its water at the Metro Wastewater Reclamation facility. Such treatment is necessary for release of this water into the South Platte River Basin as a replacement source under exchanges herein. Sand Creek Water Reuse Plant Improvements: Aurora
operates this 5-million-gallon per day facility that provides treated water used for irrigation throughout the City and for discharge into Sand Creek for use as a replacement source for the exchanges herein. Improvements of this facility completed during this diligence period cost of $8,081,000. Aurora also expended an additional $7,048,000 in operating costs for the Sand Creek plant. These improvements are necessary for use of this water as a substitute supply under the exchanges herein. Quantification and Determination of Lawn Irrigation Return Flows: Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 02-CW-341, Water Division 1, on September 25, 2008, quantifying LIRFs from its municipal system (and subsequent requantifications as required by the Decree in 02-CW-341), generated as a result of use of transmountain water rights, fully consumable in-basin water rights, decreed and permitted non-tributary sources and any other fully consumable water available to Aurora. During this diligence period, Aurora has expended over $464,000 in engineering costs requantifying the LIRFs adjudicated in Case No. 02-CW-341 available for exchange. Spinney Mountain Reservoir: Aurora expended substantial sums for facility upgrades during the diligence period, including internal outlet works inspections, applications of protective coatings on outlet pipes, assessment, design and extension of the storm drainage systems below the dam, installation of filter trench drains, measurement devices, and installation of heater jackets over valve operators.

Griswold Water Treatment Plant Renovations. This facility treats a portion of the raw water that is a replacement source herein before it is delivered to Aurora’s customers. More than $51,814,000 was spent by Aurora during this diligence period for improvements to this facility. This includes expenditures directly by Aurora for renovation of the facility. Wemlinger Water Treatment Plant Improvements. During this diligence period, Aurora spent more than $37,473,000 for improvements to the Wemlinger Water Treatment Plant. This facility treats a portion of the raw water that is a replacement source herein before it is delivered to Aurora’s customers. Rampart Reservoir Improvement. More than $12,318,000 was spent by Aurora during this diligence period for improvements to the Rampart Reservoir delivery system, including improvements to the 54” raw water transmission pipeline between Rampart Reservoir and storage and water treatment facilities within the city. Rampart Reservoir is used to store the water that has been exchanged from the Arkansas and Colorado River Basins and transported to the South Platte River before it is transported through the parallel 54” and 40” pipelines to Aurora. Rampart Reservoir is important for regulation of the flow through these parallel pipelines. Improvements to Extend or Improve Water Service in and to Aurora: More than $105,950,000 was spent by Aurora during this diligence period for extension and upgrade of its water transmission and distribution system necessary to deliver the water that is the subject of the exchange herein to Aurora’s customers. Prairie Waters Project: The Prairie Waters Project is a large comprehensive water recapture, supply, storage and treatment project which in part recovers reusable return flows from Aurora’s water sources from the South Platte River. To facilitate this project Aurora obtained various decrees in Case Nos. 06CW104, 03CW414, and 03CW415, Water Division 1. This project allows further reuse of much of the water decreed to Aurora. Reuse water recovered by this project is one of the sources at Aurora’s water treatment plants for replacement under the exchanges at issue here. During the diligence period, Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 13CW3088, WD-1, finding reasonable diligence for the water rights decreed conditionally in 03CW414 (decreed April 22, 2014), Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 14CW3065, WD-1, finding reasonable diligence for the water rights decreed conditionally in 03CW415 (decreed March 2, 2015), and Aurora filed an application in Case No. 15CW3064 seeking to make absolute portions of the rights decreed conditionally in Case No. 06CW104, WD-1, and seeking a finding of reasonable diligence on the remainder. Aurora has expended at least $10,700,000 on several elements of the Prairie Waters Project during this diligence period.

South Platte Exchange: On September 22, 2013, Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 08CW253, Water Division 1, granting a finding of reasonable diligence and making absolute portions of conditional exchange rights. These water rights allow Aurora to exchange certain reusable water from the confluence of Tarryall Creek and the South Platte River to Spinney Mountain Reservoir. Binney Water Purification Facility: This state-of-the-art water purification and recycling plant owned and operated by Aurora treats water for use throughout the city. Over $3,477,000 was spent by Aurora during the diligence period for improvements to this facility. Arkansas River Basin: Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard to maintaining and enlarging its water supply system components in the Arkansas River Basin which are necessary for continuation and transport of its reusable supplies from the Arkansas River Basin. Payment for purchase and lease of Rocky Ford Ditch shares. Aurora spent more than $381,000 during this diligence period for repayment of bonds, including principal and interest, that were issued or refunded for purchase of original Rocky Ford Ditch shares changed in Case No. 83-CW-18, that are a reusable source for the exchanges herein.Revegetation: Aurora has expended at least $1,570,000 during this diligence period for revegetation, including expenditures for expert revegetation classifications and reports, actual revegetation and weed control costs, as well as farm equipment purchases, office overhead and personnel costs, under Case No. 83-CW-18. Aurora also expended an additional $1,413,000 for revegetation and continued farming of historically irrigated lands pursuant to the decree in Case No. 99-CW-169(A). Payments to Otero County: Aurora and Otero County entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement on February 22, 1994, and amended that Agreement on October 29, 2001, under which Amendment Aurora agreed to make annual payments to Otero County concerning the Rocky Ford Ditch shares that are a reusable source for the exchanges herein. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments in excess of $273,000. Pueblo Reservoir Storage: During the diligence period, Aurora paid the Bureau of Reclamation more than $4,316,000 for use of Pueblo Reservoir in the storage and exchange of Arkansas River Basin water upstream for transport and use by Aurora in the South Platte Basin. Intergovernmental Agreement with SECWCD. On October 3, 2003, Aurora entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District (“SECWCD”), replacing an agreement between the parties dated December 7, 2001. Aurora’s use of Fryingpan-Arkansas facilities for certain water rights is discussed under this IGA. During the diligence period, Aurora made payments of more than $1,113,000 to SECWCD under this IGA. Agreements for Use of the Holbrook Reservoir System Facilities: On March 1, 2005, Aurora entered into two agreements pertaining to the use of the diversion, conveyance and storage facilities of the Holbrook Mutual Irrigating Company (“Holbrook”). Aurora and Holbrook extended this agreement on February 2, 2010. These agreements implement a program to recapture and store yield from foregone diversions of senior water rights.

During this diligence period, Aurora made payments of approximately $419,000 to Holbrook under this agreement. Intergovernmental Agreement with LAVWCD: Pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservation District (“LAVWCD”), Aurora paid approximately $500,000 to LAVWCD for the identification and implementation of infrastructure improvements, research, and investigations designed to assist in the permitting or implementation of water leasing programs in the Lower Arkansas Valley, as well as remediation and restoration efforts in the Fountain Creek Corridor. Recovery of Yield (“ROY”): On August 17, 2016, Aurora, along with Colorado Springs, the Pueblo Board of Water Works, the City of Fountain, and the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, obtained a decree in Case No. 06CW120 adjudicating exchanges necessary as a result of the 2004 Regional Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) between the various water providers and the City of Pueblo, whereby the water providers agreed to allow certain of their senior flows to pass through Pueblo’s RICD reaches on the condition those flows could be removed downstream and exchanged back upstream. This case lays the foundation for those exchanges. Aurora expended significant sums on these efforts during the diligence period. The ROY partners have acquired land to prospectively be used as a reservoir site at a cost of $780,000 to Aurora. Colorado River Basin: Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard to its water supply system components in the Colorado River Basin that are necessary for continuation of its reusable supplies from the Colorado River Basin. Aurora has continued to pursue development of a joint project or projects as contemplated in a 1998 Memorandum of Understanding with Vail Associates, Upper Eagle River Regional Water Authority, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Cypress Climax Mining Company and the Colorado River Water Conservation District. On June 21, 2004, the City of Aurora entered into an additional Water Exchange Agreement with the Eagle Park Reservoir Company, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority, and Vail Associates, Inc. to supplement a 1998 Water Exchange Agreement. This agreement affects operations of the Homestake water rights and deliveries of reusable water to Aurora for use in the exchanges herein. On January 5, 2010, the City of Aurora entered into a Consolidated Water Exchange Agreement to supplement, merge and consolidate the 1998 and 2004 agreements. Aurora seeks to further maximize the operations of the Homestake water rights with these projects.

Through implementation of these agreements, the east slope water users’ commitment for 5412.5 acre-feet of water annually to the Recovery Program is being met. Aurora has and continues to provide its annual prorata share of operation and maintenance costs associated with these agreements. In addition, Aurora participates and annually contributes to the Colorado Water Congress Colorado River Project for collaboration and support of the Recovery Program by the water users in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Non-Basin Specific: Protection Efforts: During this diligence period, Aurora spent more than $5,000,000 on legal services for participation in Water Divisions 1, 2 and 5 cases to protect the rights and interests of Aurora with regard to its water supply system and prosecution of changes of water rights to integrate acquired water rights into Aurora’s municipal water rights portfolio. Aurora reserves the right to identify additional relevant efforts that may be later discovered or to make upward adjustments to amounts expended on certain projects. Aurora has an extensive water rights portfolio, an extensive and complex water supply, collection, treatment and reuse system, and an extensive number of agreements, contracts, leases, etc. related to its facilities and the use, reuse and storage of its water rights. It is involved in many legal actions related to the collection, treatment, reuse and protection of its water rights.

The court will not review or adjudicate these or other matters unless specifically requested to do so by an interested person.
Any interested person wishing to object to the petition must file a specific written objection with the court on or before the hearing and must furnish a copy of the objection to the person requesting the court order and the personal representative. JDF 722 (Objection form) is available on the Colorado Judicial Branch website (www.courts. state.co.us). If no objection is filed, the court may take action on the petition without further notice or hearing. If any objection is filed, the objecting party must, within 14 days after filing the objection, contact the court to set the objection for an appearance hearing. Failure to timely set the objection for an appearance hearing as required will result in further action as the court deems appropriate.
