Adams 12 school board approves nearly $900 million bond and mill levy proposal for November ballot

District says funding package is aimed at modernizing schools and attracting teachers and support sta

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A nearly $900 million funding package for the Adams 12 Five Star Schools will now be on the November ballot, after school board members voted Wednesday to seek voter approval.

e board approved the placement of an $830 million bond issue, and a $34.5 million mill levy override before the district’s voters, the largest funding request in district history.

School o cials said the two funding proposals were generated from a more than year-long engagement process with residents to identify the community’s values and priorities for its schools.

e district’s Blueprint process looked at facilities and programming together, and how investments in the two areas create the best possible expe-

rience for students, sta and families, according to a district news release.

“Adams 12 Five Star Schools places great emphasis on career readiness,” Superintendent Chris Gdowski said in a news release.

“We have the highest percentage ever of students earning scores worth college credit on Advanced Placement (AP) exams, and our students earned nearly 3,000 industry certi cations last year in specialty areas like business, health sciences and the skilled trades,”

Gdowski said. “ ese funding proposals allow us to build upon these successes through investing in the people, programming and facilities that allow our students to thrive. ey are a smart and sound investment in our economy, and the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs and caretakers.”

e news release outlined for the school board three key areas that drove the development of the funding proposals: meeting the increased demand for more career and technical education; remaining competitive in attracting and retaining highly qualied educators; and providing a safe, comfortable and welcoming learning environment.

e release also notes that nearly 10

percent of high school students are on Career and Technical Education waitlists for high-demand classes. It notes other funding needs, as well, including:

7,835 students at 23 elementary schools don’t have access to computer science; $604 million in critical maintenance needs over the next 5 years including aging roofs, plumbing, pavement, and heating and cooling systems; One-time funding has run out for critical sta who support students academically and in developing life skills; and 128 sta vacancies, including educators and support sta , at the start of the school year

The Funding Proposals e bond would support building needs, and the override would address operational needs, according to the news release.

Without raising the tax rate, the news release states, the $830 million bond would:

Expand career and technical educational facilities to serve more students in middle and high school; Rebuild and modernize aging schools that have reached the end of their operational life and lack ADA accessibility; Build a centralized food warehouse and

scratch kitchen that saves money and o ers a greater variety of nutritious food; Enhance school technology and network connectivity; Improve school safety by upgrading door locks, installing permanent walls, and modernizing communication systems; and Replace aging roofs, heating, cooling, and plumbing systems, repair and improve school grounds, ll and x potholes, and improve playgrounds, for example. e news release states that the $34.5 million mill levy override, which would cost a homeowner about $20 more each month on a home valued at $500,000, would invest in:

Expanding career and technical education programs for students at all levels, including computer science at elementary, robotics and business entrepreneurship at middle school, and architectural design and aviation at high school; Attracting and retaining highly quali ed educators, support sta and safety personnel through competitive wages; Providing opportunities for students to develop life skills and have access to mental health support; and Increasing access to college courses, internships/apprenticeships, and industry certi cations for high school students.

Tansy Hayward named Thornton’s new city manager

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A veteran of managing city departments taking on major projects is now the new city manager for the City of ornton.

Tansy Hayward was appointed city manager this week by a unanimous city council. Hayward was among ve nalists for the job, which was created when Kevin Woods retired as city manager in March.

Hayward is expected to assume her role as city manager on Oct. 21. Hayward will earn $329,000 in base salary and receive a $3,250 monthly stipend for temporary housing, not to exceed

three months, and $6,500 for relocation expenses, according to a contract presented to the city council on Tuesday.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Tansy Hayward as our new City Manager,” ornton Mayor Jan Kulmann said in a news release.  “Her vision and experience align with the direction we want to take as a community, and we look forward to working together to continue building on the city’s solid foundation.”

“ e city of ornton is a beautiful place with an amazing quality of life,” Hayward said in the news release.

“ e collective e orts of the community, and current and prior elected o cials and sta have not only built

this exceptional community but have also positioned it for the future. I’m thrilled to make ornton my new home and honored that I will have the opportunity to work in partnership to shape that future.”

Hayward has been with Raleigh, N.C. since 2014, and has served as Deputy City Manager there since 2021, according to the news release.

Previously she worked for Tacoma, Wash. for eight years, with the last six years as the Assistant City Manager. She also had prior service with Des Moines, Iowa and Olathe, Kan., the news release states.

Hayward has broad experience supervising departments across her

career and has led and assisted departments with major projects and decisions, including many that prepare for growth, according to ornton’s release.

Hayward is a native Kansan and holds her undergraduate and MPA degrees from the University of Kansas. She has 21-year-old twin daughters and two golden retrievers.

Mayor Kulmann highlighted the importance of this transition.

“ is is an exciting time for ornton, and we are looking forward to tackling the challenges ahead and seizing the opportunities that will help us enhance the quality of life for all our residents.”

With the Market Shifting in Buyers’ Favor, Selecting the Right Listing Agent Is Key

Last week, I wrote about what skills and knowledge you should expect your real estate agent to possess. This week, with the shift from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market, I want to write about the importance of selecting the right listing agent.

You’ll probably want to know their level of experience, competence and success in selling homes similar to your own, hopefully within your city or neighborhood.

agents to list their homes? Many, I suspect are friends and family every agent’s biggest “competitor.”

Like you, I monitor the real estate activity where I live. The best way to do that is to ask an MLS member like my broker associates or me to set up a “neighborhood alert,” whereby you receive an automated email from the MLS whenever a home in your area is either coming soon, newly active, price reduced, newly under contract, newly sold, or even newly withdrawn or expired without selling. Send an email to info@GoldenRealEstate.com and I’ll make sure the most appropriate broker associate (or me) responds to set up an alert like that for you.

In my own neighborhood, I’m always astonished how many homes are listed by agents I’ve never heard of. As I write, there are 36 active or coming soon listings within 2 miles of my home, represented by 33 different agents from 27 different brokerages! No agent has more than two listings. And despite practicing real estate here for 22 years, I only recognize the names of 10 of them. This is typical of every city. Where did the sellers find all those different

In some cases, the seller had already gone under contract for their replacement home elsewhere and was convinced by the listing agent of that home to list their current home. If that agent is on the other side of the metro area, that is not the best decision, because that agent will be unfamiliar with your neighborhood, lives far away, and is unable to show the home on short notice, answer questions from buyers, or keep your brochure box well stocked.

Every homeowner, it seems, gets letters or finds a note taped to their door from a broker claiming to have a buyer for their home. That tactic may earn him or her an interview in your home, but I’d bet dollars to donuts that the broker then says, “That buyer found another home, but I’m sure I can find you another buyer if you list with me. Sign here.”

Let’s say, however, that you want to interview listing agents and make a rational hiring decision. Good idea! Let me suggest some questions you might want to ask, some of which might not be obvious or that you know you could ask.

First, however, you need to choose the agents to interview. I suggest basing your search on their location and experience in your neighborhood or city. Second, study their active/sold listings to see (1) their geographic distribution and (2) how well their listings are presented on the MLS.

weekly newspapers around the metro area, my broker associates and I may not be the best choice based on that first question, but, with my access to the MLS, I can identify the best candidates to interview. Full disclosure: that costs you nothing, but I will get a referral fee if you choose an agent I recommend.

You can also do this on your own by visiting www.Nestfully.com, the consumer-facing website of Denver’s MLS, where you can search for active listings in your area. Click on one or more of them to see how well the listing agent described the home on the MLS. Did they list all the rooms, not just bedrooms and bathrooms, and did they provide dimensions and descriptions of each, or just enter the mandatory fields?

Always keep in mind that the best indicator of how a listing agent will serve you is how they have served previous sellers.

Looking at those listings will answer the most important questions which you’d ask in person, but you won’t have to take their word the truth is there in front of you. You’ll learn, for example, whether they did point-and-shoot pictures or had a professional photographer shoot magazine quality photographs, and whether they created a narrated video tour or just a slide show with music.

Having chosen who to interview that way, ask these questions of those you invite into your home for an interview:

What commission percentage do you charge? Keep in mind, there is no standard commission. It’s totally negotiable, and the industry average is in the mid -5’s, not 6%. It used to be that that commission included the co-op commission paid to a buyer’s broker. As I explained in a previous column (which you can read at JimSmithColumns.com), that has been reworked so that the seller offers whatever buyer agent compensation he or she wants, and that amount, if paid, is deducted from the listing com-

mission same net effect, just reworked to comply with the NAR Settlement prohibiting shared listing commissions.

See whether the agent volunteers that they reduce their commission when the seller doesn’t have to pay the offered compensation to a buyer’s agent. That’s standard with my broker associates and me. If you have to ask for that provision, consider it a red flag. They hoped you wouldn’t ask.

Ask the agent whether he or she will discount their commission if you hire them to represent you in the purchase of your replacement home. That, too, is standard with my broker associates and me.

Hopefully the brokers you interview will have researched the market and will make a well-supported recommendation of listing price. Beware of agents who inflate their suggested listing price so you will list with them.

When setting the appointment, ask the agent to bring a spreadsheet of their sold listings with dates, days on market, listing price and sold price. They can produce that spreadsheet quickly on the MLS. (If they don’t know how, that’s a big red flag!) Here’s an example (mine):

That’s to show you what it looks like. If you want to read it, it is bigger at http://RealEstateToday.substack.com

RTD launches cadet program to train transit o cers

Program allows students to earn college credit while exploring police work

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fulltime college students interested in becoming police o cers can get on-the-ground experience in law enforcement through a new program with the Regional Transportation District.

RTD is launching a new Transit Police – or RTD-PD – cadet program for full-time college students in the Denver metro area pursuing a criminal justice or related degree.

Police cadets will gain insights into the day-to-day work of an o cer in a transit police environment while potentially earning a three-hour credit for most college programs, according to an RTD news release.

Johan Sherpa, a senior at Metro State University studying criminal justice, started as RTD-PD’s rst police candidate on July 22 and is expected to be with the agency for six months or more to complete the program, RTD said in a written statement.

An Emergency Management police cadet role is also available, and the agency is reviewing applications to ll that position.

come into the role with an open mind.

“I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can and I’m glad to be here,” said Sherpa in the news release.

RTD’s cadet program provides specialized training for skills essential to pursuing a career in public safety including video investigations, integrated security, cyber security and police dispatch communications. Police cadets can get a “head start” for an ofcer role, states the news release.

“If a cadet wants to join our department, they already have the condence to come in and understanding of the work to quickly complete eld training,” said Martingano in the news release.

Martingano is aware of the impact of a police cadet program. Without his year-and-a-half experience as a New York Police Department police cadet, “I might never have applied to be an o cer.” Martingano originally intended to pursue a degree in accounting. “It’s a job that I’m passionate about,” he added about his work as an o cer and deputy chief.

BY BELEN WARD

RTD Deputy Chief Steven Martingano created the program for students to learn about the agency and explore the public safety eld.

“ e program dedicates time and resources to make sure someone knows what they’re coming into when considering being an o cer,” Martingano said in the news release.  “Police work

is more of a calling and a passion.”

Sherpa learned about the RTD police cadet program through his uncle, who is a part of the Golden Police Department. Sherpa said he is looking forward to potentially shadowing or riding along with RTD-PD o cers on patrol and recommended anyone interested in being a police cadet to

RTD is hiring two detective positions in addition to the emergency management police cadet role, according to the news release. e agency continues to add sta to reach a minimum of 96 o cers on the force by yearend. Martingano noted that a college degree is not a requirement for joining the RTD-PD police. Visit the  Transit Police Careers page to apply for open roles.

Westminster joins public safety consortium

Westminster rst responders, police, re, EMS, and 911 services are now the sixth Front Range Communications Consortium (FRCC) member, according to a news release from August 23. “ is expands the reach of the FRCC and can lead to better communication, which allows for greater situational awareness of many di erent scenarios, like severe weather, active threats or even day-to-day duties like prisoner

transports across counties,” said Cordero Bustos, Wireless Systems Manager for the Weld County Department of Public Safety Communications.

“While communication was possible with Westminster operating on its own network, it required training and technological patchwork, something eliminated by Westminster joining the FRCC.”

e Consortium is a multi-county public trunked radio system located in Adams, Broom eld, Boulder, Weld counties. It includes rst

responders from Federal Heights, ornton, Broom eld, the University of Northern Colorado, Weld County and Adams County.

Weld County helped develop the FRCC public safety communication radio system between agencies in 2014, according to o cials.

e Front Range Communications Consortium authorizes Westminster rst responders to communicate with Weld, Adams County, and other emergency responders within its network to collaborate across the coun-

ties to improve emergency response.  “ is IGA further solidi es how effective the FRCC has been since it debuted in 2014,” said Tina Powell, director of the Weld County Department of Public Safety Communications. “Our goal when it was created was to give Weld County, Adams County, and member agencies more control over emergency communication, which positively impacts our ability to respond during emergencies. We’re excited to have Westminster on board.”

Johan Sherpa, a senior at Metro State University, is RTD’s first Transit Police cadet.

Colorado to boost the cash-for-clunkers program

The program helps income-qualified buyers purchase a new

EV

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado is boosting its popular cash-for-clunkers EV buying support by nearly 60% with a $9 million fund for 2024-25, after retiring more old, dirtier cars than expected o the road during the rst year.  e state exhausted $5.7 million for the rst year of the fund, which

helps income-quali ed buyers with an extra $6,000 rebate at the cash register if they turn in an older car when buying a new EV. Turning in an old car and buying a used EV can bring an exchange rebate of up to $4,000.

Stacked with other federal, state and utility EV rebates, the extra state boost can cut the cost of some EVs by far more than half.

Formally dubbed Vehicle Exchange Colorado, or VXC, the program pulled 879 old or emissionsfailing vehicles from highways in the year beginning Aug. 31, 2023, state o cials said in a release.

“Expanding the use of electric ve-

hicles is an important part of our work to improve air quality and achieve our climate goals, and we look forward to seeing this funding support more Coloradans,” Gov. Jared Polis said in the release.

“ e way Coloradans have embraced this program shows the momentum the EV market is having in Colorado, and we’re extremely excited to continue building on its success with additional funding,” said Colorado Energy O ce Executive Director Will Toor.

e program issued a total of 1,301 rebates from old car exchanges in the rst year, and consumers redeemed 68% of those vouchers. at

was more than six times the number of rebates the Colorado Energy Ofce expected to provide, state ofcials said. e second shot of $9 million is for the scal year starting July 1, 2024, running through June 30, 2025.

e total two-year funding of $14.7 million has come through the Community Access Enterprise. It is overseen by the energy o ce, and paid for through a retail delivery fee that began in 2022.

Short-term rental owners, advocates work to combat ‘heavy-handed regulation’

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado is the birthplace of shortterm rentals. And the state is groundzero for local regulation of the booming industry.

After several years of reactive, defensive responses to increased regulation and taxation legislation, the state’s short-term rental owners and managers are organizing with an educational campaign and lawmaker lobbying plans. Colorado House Speaker Rep. Julie McCluskie, a Democrat from Dillon, earlier this month warned that short-term rental legislation “is highly likely” in either the special session or next year’s session.

“We know that short-term rentals have become a signi cant part of the guest experience,” she said at a rally of short-term rental owners, managers and representatives from Vrbo in Silverthorne last week. “In order for our tourism economies to thrive, we need short-term rentals in places where the world wants to be.”

With no short-term rental legis-

lation during the special session where lawmakers hammered out a plan for property tax relief, “it does feel like we dodged a bullet,” said Julie Koster, the executive director of the Colorado Lodging and Resort Alliance and the Summit Alliance of Vacation Rental Managers.

Property owners and short-term rental advocates are planning to lobby and court policymakers heading into next year’s legislative session, hoping to sti e increased limitations on vacation rentals. Earlier this year, as the legislature debated Senate Bill 33 — legislation that would have quadrupled property taxes on vacation rental homes — McCluskie elded more than 2,000 emails from constituents in one week. e third-term representative said she has never received so many emails.

She urged the short-term rental advocates gathered inside the Silverthorne Pavilion earlier this month to reach out now to lawmakers and share data — not just anecdotes — about vacation homes that rent to visitors.

“Short-term rentals are the new

frontier for how we experience life. People are letting go of buying things and they are embracing ‘What happened to me yesterday,’” she said.

“How do we ensure that there are short-term rentals available? How do we nd balance?”

Balance is the top talking point for owners and managers who rely on vacationers renting private homes.

e owners on Tuesday discussed the need for all owners to pay lodging taxes and comply with local regulations as they lobby local and state lawmakers to steer clear of what they call “heavy-handed regulation.”

Senate Bill 33, which was voted down in by the Senate Finance Committee, posed “an existential crisis” for the short-term rental industry in Colorado, said Tim Rosolio, who heads up vacation rental partnerships for Vrbo parent the Expedia Group.

“In Colorado, we kind of got to the brink there,” he said.

e crackdown on short-term rentals in cities like New York, Chicago and San Francisco is spilling into resort markets and it’s important that

owners and managers organize to help build rules that protect the industry while alleviating concerns from neighbors and contributing revenue to housing challenges.

“ e answer is not ‘no regulation,’ Rosolio said. “It’s important for us to land on something that is balanced … while making sure that we understand what a big economic driver short-term rentals and tourism are for the community.”

Tourism slowdown in 2024

Colorado overnight visitors spent $6.3 billion on lodging in 2023, generating $1.8 billion in local and state tax revenue and supporting 9,450 jobs. Visitors spent $28.2 billion in total in 2023 and vacationers who rented privately owned homes spent $4.1 billion.

In nine Western Slope mountain counties anchored by ski areas, visitors in short-term rental homes and condos — not hotels and motels — spent $1.2 billion in 2023, up from $1.1 billion in 2022 and 2021.

RENTALS

at compares to $2.3 billion spent on traditional hotels and motels in 2023 and 2022.

Since 2019, the number of vacationers renting private homes has increased by 27%.

e taxes generated by tourism in Colorado equate to about $308 per resident. But in places like Summit County, the $96.3 million in state and local taxes paid by tourists in 2023 equals more than $3,150 per resident.

e Colorado Tourism O ce collects annual spending gures and shares that data far and wide. at is part of the o ce’s mission to empower local communities so they can share their own plans for balancing

the quality of life for local residents with tourist-based economies.

“What is the value of tourism? Where are you on the tourism cycle in your communities” said Colorado Tourism O ce boss Tim Wolfe, who says the revival of international tourism is a key component for sustainable visitation in high-pro le destinations like metro Denver and Summit County. He’s seeing more communities backing away from intense regulation of short-term rental properties as visitation and lodging tax collections ebb in the rst half of 2024.

Proposition 123, passed by voters in 2022, last year directed $80 million toward a ordable housing across the state. at river of revenue is owing again this year as more housing plans unfold, Wolfe said.

“Are we giving this a chance to take root or are we going to pass three

more things before this actually has a chance to take root and start generating housing,” Wolfe told the vacation rental advocates, urging a wariness of statewide regulation that could slow the ow of tourists into Colorado. “We have to be careful. If we make dramatic changes this (slowdown in visitation) could continue to accelerate.”

Hundreds of property owners and managers have united as part of the Colorado Lodging Resort Alliance, which rallied dozens of advocates to urge opposition to Senate Bill 33 earlier this year.

e group is again rallying its troops to thwart legislation that could impact vacation rentals. e Colorado Association of Ski Towns advocating for legislation that would enable local communities to ask voters to approve a tax on vacant homes that could in-

clude properties that are rented to vacationers. Another proposal by Colorado Counties Inc. would raise the cap on lodging taxes levied by counties to 6% from 2%, just like Colorado municipalities.

“ is could give counties the opportunity to increase revenue for advertising and marketing local tourism, housing, childcare services, and facilitating and enhancing visitor experiences bene ting their county residents,” reads a legislative position statement from Colorado Counties Inc.

“ ere are some scary things out there looming around on the horizon,” Koster said.

Bumper crop of ‘hoppers plague state

State is experiencing one of its worst grasshopper infestations in recent history

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

It was as if Doug Bay’s wish had come true, the day the doves landed. Bay, who grows alfalfa and a bit of corn and sorghum in Otero County, had been eyeing the 3 acres of fresh

green shoots for days, worrying they were about to be destroyed by the swarms of crop-munching grasshoppers that were bouncing all over his farm.

He was holding out hope that he wouldn’t have to spray pesticide to save his alfalfa crop from the destructive insects, which are vexing farmers and gardeners from Denver to the plains this summer. Bay almost called the local crop duster, but he put it o .  en came the doves. About 200 of the tan birds swooped down from the sky and feasted on the grasshop-

pers, demolishing pretty much the whole lot.

“It was kinda neat,” recalled Bay, whose family has been farming in Cheraw since 1950. “A couple hundred of them, eating those grasshoppers. ey must have told their friends this was a good place to eat.”

For farmers, the best way to deal with grasshoppers is to let birds handle it. But this year, when the grasshopper infestation is one of the worst in recent history, farmers can’t rely on just the birds.

e bounty of grasshoppers is on par with last summer’s Mormon cricket invasion on the Western Slope.

Bay said he had to hire the crop duster to spray his other, larger eld of alfalfa, costing him about $15 for each of the 120 acres. He’s also got 15 chickens that spend their days pecking his yard and keeping the grasshoppers at a more manageable level, at least near his house.

Scientists say the grasshoppers are having a banner year in Colorado because the conditions for hatching eggs and growing big insects were ideal. Grasshoppers lay their eggs in dirt, and the pods or “egg beds” remain underground through the winter. e eggs hatch in the spring, and the tiny “nymphs” crawl out of the ground in search of food, according to Colorado State University’s extension services.

If weather conditions are good, and there is plenty to eat, grasshoppers grow for several weeks until they reach adult size — and this summer they are quite large. e insects likely hatched earlier this year because of a mild, warmer spring, and then did not face the kind of cold, wet weather that can kill o newly hatched grasshoppers.

In Denver, gardeners are reporting

extra-large grasshoppers and in extra large numbers, popping around yards and chewing holes in the leaves of their lettuce and tomato plants. On the Eastern Plains, their destruction has been spotty — some farms are having to spray pesticides or losing yields to the bugs, while others have had few issues.

For gardeners, experts suggest adding some plants that repel grasshoppers — garlic or chives — or using garlic to make a natural spray. Another idea is to cover the garden with netting to keep the insects from jumping into it. Get some chickens. Or put up a bird feeder.

While grasshopper eggs are more likely to survive the winter in dry soil, undisturbed by tillage or irrigation, the insects often live longer and grow bigger in irrigated land where there is plenty of foliage.

On July 1, a grasshopper sits atop the Clear Creek trail’s handrail underneath the U.S. Highway 6 bridge.

Mosquito Prevention

e Adams County Health Department wants people to be proactive in protecting themselves from mosquitoes and illness during these warm summer months.

While the county Environmental Health Team monitors for mosquitoborne illnesses, there are steps you can take right now to keep you and your loved ones safe. ose include ensuring pet dishes are removed from patios that can hold water, making sure roof gutters are cleaned and inspected yearly, removing debris piles from outdoor areas— including buckets, barrels, children’s toys, and tire swings— and removing or changing water in birdbaths frequently. Homeowners should also maintain swimming pools and spas with proper ltration and chlorination levels, limit watering lawn and plants to avoid water pooling and limit your time outdoors during dusk and dawn to avoid mosquitoes. If you stay outdoors during this time, wear long-sleeved shirts and pants and use mosquito repellents that contain a high percentage of DEET.

Farmers, including Bay in Otero County, are on their third out of four cuts of alfalfa for the season, and still keeping an eye on the grasshoppers. Alfalfa is most vulnerable to grasshoppers when it’s just beginning to grow and “they can mow it right down,” Bay said. When the plants are taller, grasshoppers can’t destroy it but can decrease its yield, he said.

At Bay’s son-in-law’s ranch, in the southeastern corner of the state, the grasshoppers hatched early and died o when they were small because there wasn’t enough moisture for them to survive. But Bay has had to deal with two grasshopper hatches, and the second one produced especially big grasshoppers.

He and others were forced to spray, he said, and Bay hired a pilot because the alfalfa was too thick to drive a sprayer through it. “Once you spray them, it pretty well kills them,” he said. “You have to watch it real close — you can spray one batch and another batch could hatch.”

Farmers also can scatter an insecticide called EcoBran, which grasshoppers will eat and die. en other grasshoppers, which are cannibals, will eat the dead grasshoppers and die, too. But this is “hit or miss,” Bay said, because if the grasshoppers have other things to eat — say, alfalfa or lettuce — they likely won’t eat the wheat bran laced with the chemical carbaryl, which is toxic to insects.

Ranchers have little recourse, since their grazing land is so vast. eir cattle just get less to eat when grasshoppers are rampant.

It’s just all part of the season for farmers and ranchers, Bay said. “I gamble every day,” he said. “You gamble with the weather. You gamble with the bugs. So I don’t much like to go to Cripple Creek.”

On the bright side for hunters: e doves are thick this year thanks to grasshopper abundance, and dove hunting season starts this month.

Bay is optimistic lately, as he nishes the latest cut of alfalfa and moves on to cutting the sorghum, that the grasshoppers will run out of things to eat and fade out. e Arkansas River, which supplies his irrigation water, is getting low now at the end of summer. And it hasn’t rained much lately on the plains.

Bay will also keep hoping for black birds or more doves, the “most awesome” natural control for insects.

“But you can’t order a ock of birds to come in,” he said. “It’s a luck thing.”

The WPS Board of Education unanimously approved putting a bond issue on the November ballot which would raise up to $111 million. e bond issue would NOT impose any new tax.

Funds from the debt would achieve positive improvements in several key areas.

e six categories include (1) CTE (vocational training for some of us) and STEM expansion, (2) enhanced school security, (3) opportunities to earn college credits, (4) access to industry training, certi cations & credentials, (5) ability to connect with employers and get jobs within a chosen pathway and (6) upgraded HVAC systems in school buildings.

According to Superintendent of Schools Jeni Gotto, “Now more than ever we need to make sure that the people of this community have the skills and tools to compete in a 21st century economy. Quality public education is the cornerstone for strong communities and neighborhoods.”

A major thrust of the bond issue would implement more CTE courses at the Iver C. Ranum Innovation Campus. Equipment for such course work is quite expensive, but is vital to training students on high tech equipment in di erent elds of study.

Currently, three elds of course work are up and running: Bio technology, aviation engineering and cyber technology. Enhanced security is essential and the opportunity to earn college credits could be the catalyst for some student to attend college. It is a well-rounded menu of improvements that would serve the district’s students quite well.

A “YES” vote is warranted to help the district improve.

Jody Andrews is sole Westminster city manager candidate

Westminster completed the “only internal search” for its next regular city manager which produced a single applicant, Interim City Manager Jody Andrews. As was predictable, Andrews applied for the position without any other internal candidates stepping up.

VOICES

Westminster Public Schools place bond issue on the ballot

CROSS CURRENTS

He is no stranger to being in the “captain’s chair” having served on two occasions as Interim City Manager. He served for nine months between Don Tripp and Mark Freitag and a second time since April of this year when Freitag resigned. His 10 years with the City of Westminster provides ample insight and familiarity with the organization, city council’s expectations and the city’s main needs and challenges.

His management style, communication skills and openness all t well with the mayor and city council and the community.

Jody is the “right person for the right time.” Westminster needs the stability he can bring to the table.

For better or worse, it’s o the ballot

Colorado lawmakers did what was expected of them and passed the “compromise” property tax legislation. It has been a saga getting to this spot in the road right before the ballot deadline.

Now, the sponsors of the two “disastrous” ballot propositions will have removed them from November’s long list of ballot questions.

So, what did we exactly get? According to the Denver Post, the new legislation will cut approximately $254 million in addition to the $1.3 billion in reductions approved back in May.

Boiling it down to the typical individual residential property owner, the new law will knock o a modest additional $60-$80. In other words, not much! But with the prior legislative cuts of an average of $400 or so, we are looking at a combined estimated $500 in tax cuts in the rst year. Now, we begin to talk about some decent tax relief.

ank you Advance Colorado Institute and Colorado Concern for forcing the Democrats to be a little more generous to us taxpayers in parting with some funding for their favorite

school nancing and special districts. Doesn’t this whole asco tell state leaders that raising revenues for public education and perhaps even some special districts seriously needs to be overhauled? Not from a “who gets what” like the legislature just did, but how and where the revenues comes from. Wouldn’t state income tax be a better overall way of funding schools?

Regardless, the “drama” is over for six years from those two conservative organizations, given the terms of the deal with state leaders. Are there other conservative groups waiting in the wings?

However, remember that the next legislative session will be painful in cutbacks in other state programs as the state government “back lls” the school districts and special districts in their reduced property tax revenues.

Statewide CMAS scores continue to recover

Each spring, elementary and middle school students at Colorado schools are tested to gauge pro ciency in English language arts and math. Students in 3rd to 8th grades are o ered the tests along with high school student taking the PSAT and SAT.

e test results have especially been of interest and discussed after the noticeable impact of the COVID pandemic on student learning. is year’s CMAS results have been released by the Colorado Department of Education (DOE) with the notation that literacy and math scores are reaching -and in some cases surpassing—prepandemic levels.

e DOE summarized the latest Colorado Measures of Academic Success results saying that they are the clearest sign to date that students are recovering academically after COVID upended in-person learning. However, it went on to caution that such gains need to be sustained longer to validate the 2024 test results are here to stay.

When drilling down on the data, “signi cant gaps continue statewide among students of color and their white peers. Especially concerning is the gap between English language

learners and non-multilingual students.

In literacy, only 6.3% of 5th grade English learners met or exceeded expectations, compared to 52.6% of non-multilingual students. e gap between the two groups was 46.3% points which increased from last year’s 45.7% gap.

We will evaluate area school districts’ scores in the coming weeks. While it is encouraging to learn that statewide scores are bouncing back from pre-COVID scores, it is concerning about the language barrier impacts which Adams County school districts are more apt to experience. While CMAS is not perfect, it is the best gauge available to measure prociency.

Should school choice be a constitutional right?

at is an interesting question that can be debated either way. So, let’s have state voters decide on a state constitutional questions this fall. Yes, another ballot proposal by the same conservative group, Advance Colorado Institute, which brought us the above mentioned property tax relief!! Colorado is a “favorite” state for special interests to spend major bucks on gathering signatures and forcing voters to consider their causes.

Is Advance Colorado concerned for students to have their pick of schools or is there an underlying reason they have gone to the expense of putting this Constitutional amendment in front of us? eir spokesperson, Kristi Burton Brown said “Hey, as a family, we trust you to make the best education choice for your child. We want to make sure that right is preserved forever for all families throughout our state.” at sounds wholesome, but let’s hears from the state teachers’ union who has a di erent perspective. Kevin Vick, president of the Colorado Education Association, stated “ ey’re using the innocuous word of `choice’ as a vehicle for what opens the door clearly for a voucher scheme.”

HRanking the top 5 snacks to take on a hike

ow many times have you woken up for a hike — perhaps after a long night — with less time to prepare than you thought? You had it all gured out: you were going give yourself time to wake up slow, have a co ee, make a sandwich and head o on a new Front Range mountain adventure. e only problem is you overslept, your friend is already on the way and now you don’t have time.

REPORTER COLUMN

To get you through the next few hours, you’ll likely need a snack; either on the car ride there, at the peak of the mountain or waiting on you when you complete your round trip.

As an avid weekend hiker, I’ve compiled a list of what I believe to be the best ve hiking snacks. Each can be found either in your home or at a gas station or market on your way to the hike.  is list is clearly subjective, like all snack-based conversations, but check it out below and see how my favorites stack up with yours.

5. Granola and/or trail mix  is classic was sure to make the list, even if I feel it’s a bit boring. But trail mix and granola will hold you over and provide a mixed bag of sweet and salty bites to keep you going on the trail.  I lean more toward the granola side

Saying goodbye to Growing Home founder

First, I don’t believe such a “right” belongs in the state constitution. It’s cluttered enough already. Secondly, I have always been a rm believer in neighborhood schools. If any change is to take place, I would support going in the opposite direction and help rm up attendance at the students’ local school. irdly, I question of school choice should be a “right.”

All of us meet special people along life’s journey. I had such an experience when I met Kathleen Drozda when she worked for St. Anthony’s North Hospital on 84th Avenue.

She wanted to make a di erence in

(just give me chocolate or peanut butter), but trail mix is a fan favorite and was created for outdoor adventures. It might not be the most lling item on the list, but if you’re just trying to hold on until the post-hike meal, granola and trail mix will get you there.

John Renfrow

4. Fruit of choice

Perhaps the most refreshing option on the list, fruit can give you sustenance and cool you o on your ascent. Whether you go with a banana to help ward o potential cramps or an apple for the water it contains, this healthy option makes you feel even better about getting up and at it.

An underrated hiking fruit is cubed watermelon; you don’t have to carry a peel or core back to the car (leave no trace!) and the juiciness of it is like another beverage on your journey. Dried fruits are also nifty, but aren’t as rewarding or refreshing, in this writer’s opinion.

What’s your favorite fruit to take on a hike? You can’t go wrong.

Colorado Community Media’s newsroom has already used the results of the Voter Voices surveys we have received so far.

In recent months, we asked readers to take surveys asking what they think candidates for political o ces should focus on as they compete for their votes. e top answer from Colorado Community Media readers across the metro area sounded like something from a civics class: “democracy and good government.”

Our readers said they want the candidates to focus on solutions, even if it means compromises.

As Lisa Anne Bresko, a self-described moderate and business owner from Evergreen, told us, democracy and good government are foundational if our leaders are going to solve the many pressing problems facing our communities.

“I feel there’s very little respect and no more compromise,” Bresko said. “It’s ‘My way or no way’ on a lot of topics. at’s not the way to run a country or get anything done. I feel all of the name calling, the pointing of ngers, the disin-

formation about the people you’re supposed to be working with toward common goals is hurting the ability to get things done.”

More than 400 (and counting) Colorado Community Media readers have lled out our Voter Voices surveys using links in our newsletters and stories or QR codes from newspapers and yers. Our reporters and editors have been using the results to help form the questions we ask politicians in the two dozen Denver-area cities, towns and suburbs we cover. We are partnering with 60 newsrooms across the state in this endeavor. Overall, there are some 6,000 responses.

In the surveys, voters are asked to rank their top three issues among 13 categories, revealing their importance. e surveys also allow voters to elaborate in their own words on what they think candidates should focus on.

Additionally, our Colorado Community Media reporters reached out di-

rectly to many survey respondents of all political persuasions to speak to them about their surveys and more. We also went into the community to connect with younger voters, an underrepresented category in the data.

More than 37% of our readers who took the survey cited democracy and good government as their top issue. More moderates and liberals cited it as a top issue than conservatives, but the surveys revealed that it is an important issue regardless of political inclination. Readers’ other top issue was the economy and cost of living, which was cited more by conservatives as their No. 1 issue, yet readers across the political spectrum said it was a top issue.

Phillip McCart, a liberal from Littleton, told us that candidates should focus on ways to help people who are struggling. One way candidates can do that, McCart said, is to work to reduce housing costs by creating more housing density.

During the primaries, we incorporated readers’ concerns about democracy and good government and the economy into questions we asked Republican and Democratic candidates for Congress in our primary forums for Colorado’s 4th District. e forums were co-sponsored with the League of Women Voters Colorado and KUNC public radio.

We plan to do the same for more forums we’re co-sponsoring this fall.

And, our Question and Answer surveys of candidates, which are widely read in print and online ahead of the November elections, will include Voter Voices-inspired questions and themes.

We also got to speak directly to voters and our reporters were met with appreciation in their e orts. is is just the start. We intend to keep the conversations with you going and we’re looking for ways to localize our connections with survey respondents. Watch for that.

Readers also told us they appreciated the opportunity to elaborate on their views and see our journalists as advocates for getting their voices into the process, given our unique access to leaders and candidates.

We have more work to do in terms of outreach, especially when it comes to younger voters and another category underrepresented in our results – people of color. Watch this space for future stories about them as we consider Voter Voices a starting point.

A big next step for us will be to work with groups of survey respondents to create a Voter Voices Citizens Agenda for our newsroom that helps guide our every interaction with public o cials and candidates for political o ce.

BY THE COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA NEWSROOM

VOTER VOICES

“Housing costs are destroying the hopes and dreams of everyone,” McCart said. at view was echoed many times in the surveys we gathered. For instance, one moderate Je erson County voter – who wished to remain anonymous – wrote in her survey, “We have a severe lack of a ordable and workforce housing in the metro area, and it is not improving.”

Evergreen resident Norm Sherbert, a conservative on scal issues and moderate on others, told us that everyone, regardless of income, should be concerned that many people across the metro area are struggling.

“I think it a ects us all,” he said. “I see it in my utility bills, the price of gas, grocery bills — and it just keeps climbing.”

Sherbert worries that the Social Security system might not be intact for future generations and believes strong, bipartisan leadership is needed to tackle such problems. He is not impressed

by President Biden or the Democratic and Republican nominees for president, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

“I’m not a Trump fan, and I’m surely not a Biden or Harris fan,” Sherbert said. “It’s a shame we do not have the candidates out there that can really make something happen in the country. I hope we come back to the center and realize it’s not the candidates that are going to drive this country, it’s the issues and how they’re solved.”

Similar views were espoused around our coverage area, which spans from Fort Lupton, Brighton and Commerce City in the north to Je erson County in the west, Idaho Springs in the mountains, Arapahoe and Douglas counties in the south, and Parker and Elbert County in the east.

About half of the readers who responded to our survey consider themselves moderate. About a quarter identify as conservative and another quarter as liberal. About 60% of respondents are women and 40% are men.

Many readers told us that

partisanship has become a never-ending soap opera – with sides squaring o against each other leaving compromises, and the potential solutions to longstanding problems, in the dust. Many shared a feeling that the country has an urgent, almost desperate need for candidates who will talk about issues, especially divisive ones, calmly instead of attacking and dismissing each other.

e stakes, readers say, are just too high given a long list of concerns, from crime to climate change to in ation to immigration to national security. One of the most eye-opening insights from readers is their disdain for grandstanding by candidates, bitter attacks and empty promises.

Michael Wilson, a 65-yearold conservative in Je erson County, said he would like political candidates to talk about what they will do if they are elected.

“I don’t need to hear them try to run down their opponent,” Wilson said.

omas Gibbons, a moderate who lives in the High-

lands Ranch area, said property taxes, local crime and reducing gun violence are important to him, but the problems associated with them can’t be solved if elected leaders are not focused on good governance.

“Elected o cials must nd a way to work together in bipartisan cooperation,” said Gibbons.

Littleton resident Porter Lansing, who identi es as liberal, said he would like to see candidates address the wealth gap between the metro area’s richest and poorest residents, citing concerns about unemployment and in ation. Lansing, who is 70 and disabled, said he lives mainly on his Social Security income.

“Everything’s so expensive, and everything’s going up,” he said. “I don’t want politicians to forget people way down here just because we don’t have money to contribute to their campaigns.”

It’s not just Coloradans who feel the government must improve.

VOTER VOICES

Across the country, positive views of political and governmental institutions are at historic lows, according to the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Many Americans say they are underwhelmed by candidates and 28% of Americans express unfavorable views of both the Democratic and Republican parties, the highest share in three decades of polling, with a comparable share adding that neither party represents their interests well.

In Voter Voices surveys, newsrooms across Colorado received strikingly similar ndings to ours, with good government and the economy coming out as top issues, closely mirroring the results of our readers. Other important issues cited by survey respondents included the environment, climate and natural resources, immigration and abortion. e vast majority of respondents identi ed as older than 45. at prompted Colorado Community Media to reach out to younger people directly. A reporter and our summer reporting intern used social media to promote the Voter Voices survey on Instagram, tweeting on X and even texting friends and colleagues for help reaching more voters in their 20s and 30s online and in person.

Many of the younger voters shared the same concerns as older voters, particularly regarding good government and the economy.

Ben Warzel, 25, of Littleton, was at

a Denver restaurant as he expressed frustration over how candidates attack each other.

“(Candidates) can have their little pageantry, but we know that they’re not really doing anything,” Warzel said. “It’s just becoming dangerous, the people that we’re having to choose between.”

Some young people spoke about the intersection that the high costs of college and wages play out in their lives.

“I would like to see candidates talk about pay wages, especially with degrees and the cost of college,” a 24-year-old Voter Voices respondent from Arapahoe County who wished to remain anonymous wrote. “I think the cost of college is becoming una ordable even for people who are more well o .”

“Cost of living has not gone down at all over the years,” a 24-year-old respondent to our survey wrote.

Joshua Glenn, 28, of Aurora, said he hopes candidates will focus on a raft of issues – from the economy to the safety of all Americans.

“I would like candidates to focus on climate issues, economic future, abuse of power and the environment,” Glenn said. “Social justice is very important to me as well. As an African-American, and a contributing member of society, I want to feel safe in all parts of the country.”

Kamara Maxie, 24 of Denver, said the cost of living and abortion are the most important issues she wants candidates to address this election. Maxie also said gun safety is an issue that candidates should address.

“I believe having legal guns is important for protection reasons, however, I don’t think we should have weapons of war,” Maxie said. ere were also familiar divisions among conservatives and liberals. For instance, many conservative readers, like Eric Tyrell, who lives in Douglas County, cited immigration and tax policy as important issues. He would like to see candidates close the southern border and cut government spending.

“Government is too big and is still getting bigger every year,” he said. Meanwhile, many liberals, like Kathy Mendt in Adams County, said abortion policy is important.

“Politicians need to keep their laws

o women’s bodies,” Mendt said. She also wants to see candidates who care about the environment.

“How willing are they to address climate change?” Mendt said.

Mary Wylie, an Arvada voter who identi es as a liberal, said climate change is a pressing problem.

“I think climate change is essentially the ballot, depending on who ends up winning the presidency and has control of the government,” Wylie said.

Many survey respondents have similar litmus tests for candidates. For instance, they want to know: Does a candidate support the overturning of Roe v. Wade? Does a candidate support U.S. funding for Israel? Does a candidate believe that Donald Trump won the 2020 election?

Our readers also listed a hodgepodge of local issues. ey included inadequate roads and cell phone “dead zones” in Je erson County, a desire to see more conversation around local control issues, the e ects crime has on businesses and how safe people feel in certain parts of the metro area, among other issues.

And, some said perceptions of communities as conservative or liberal doesn’t provide an accurate reection of reality.

“Douglas County is a red county, but it’s growing a little more blue, especially where I live in northern Highlands Ranch,” Alex Miller, a 60-year-old Highlands Ranch man who identi es as a liberal, told us.

“Based on the yard signs in the last election, my neighborhood had as many Biden signs as Trump signs. I think it’s a mistake to write o the county as lost to Republicans.”

Candidates can improve by focusing on the issues instead of attacking each other, many survey respondents said.

“ e negativity and the bashing, I think, is just very divisive and drives us further apart,” Wylie said.

Jane Dvorak, a moderate from Jefferson County who listed democracy and good government as top concerns, said, “ e lack of respect for di ering opinions/ideas is scary.”

“It’s time to take a hard look at how we talk to each other, make decisions and what is best for the whole, not

one person/group,” Dvorak wrote.

To voters like C. Michael Litzau, a 65-year-old moderate Adams County voter, the integrity and ethics of political candidates matters as much as their stance on issues.

“What has their experience been like working with groups during dicult circumstances, and how do they resolve con icts?” Litzau said. “A priority for my evaluation of candidates for elected o ce is their ability to act civilly, even in a time of disagreement.”

New app yields low-stress bike routes

The community-led project works to fill gaps in the city’s evolving cycling infrastructure

BY MERYL PHAIR

SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Washington Park’s East Florida Avenue is marked by “sharrows,” white bikes accompanied by two arrow lines painted on the pavement along routes shared by motorists and cyclists. While these routes might be a breeze for an experienced two-wheel commuter, for someone new to biking, using the mode of transportation to meet a friend or a kid biking to nearby Merrill Middle School, navigating cars on shared bike routes can be a stressful and unsafe experience.

“ ere are studies that have been done where getting passed by a car raises your blood pressure,” said Avi Stopper as he crossed the street on his bike. As if on cue, a Rivian whizzed by. Continuing down the street, Stopper said there is a signi cant population of people in the Denver area who would utilize cycling as a mode of transportation if they weren’t deterred by speeding cars and buses.

To reach those folks, the founder of Bike Streets has led the charge on establishing a 500-mile Low-Stress Denver Bike Map that has been used a million times since 2018. Relying on a network of 45 “neighborhood captains” these cycling enthusiasts use local knowledge of neighborhoods to build out a network of quiet streets. is June, a Bike Streets app was launched where users can plug destinations into a map that yields “lowstress” routes around the city.  Rather than taking Stopper down East Florida Avenue, the Bike Streets app directs him down Josephine and then Iowa. Blue lines on the app indicate quieter streets, broken up occasionally by red lines for major intersections where users may want to hop o their bikes and walk.

“ e idea behind Bike Streets is that we can as a community become or-

ganized to ride the same streets and make it possible for even more people to ride bikes wherever they want to,”

Stopper said. “Nothing is worse than sitting in tra c and nothing is better than being active, outside and seeing di erent neighborhoods.”

e Bike Streets app o ers special features like weekly challenges and surprise adventure, a wheel of fortune randomizer that selects a unique bikeable activity. Open to all ages and abilities, Bike Streets also hosts monthly group bike rides and runs the Bike Streets Club o ering ra es, workshops and merch. eir goal is to get thousands of people to ride to destinations all over Denver until the city constructs more protected bike lanes. Currently on the app about 4,800 miles have been logged by users this summer, a growing number users can see in the top left corner.

“ e city to their credit has built a lot of biking infrastructure but often it doesn’t work for the average cycler,”

Stopper said. “ ere’s not enough, and they’re working on it, but it’s a 10, 20-year project to make a complete

network. What we’re doing is trying to ll in the gaps based on the world as it exists today.”

Denver has built 137 miles of new bike infrastructure in the last ve years and has announced plans to install 230 new miles of bikeways, many on busy arterial roads, as part of their 20-year vision for developing a network of accessible bikeways. A recently published map shows the type and location of bike lanes the city hopes to roll out over the next two decades, providing an opportunity for the public to make comments and suggestions.

Proposed changes include installing protected bike lanes on Speer Boulevard, Leetsdale Drive, Park Avenue, West Evans Avenue, South Monaco Street Parkway, Quebec Street, 17th and 18th Avenues, 13th and 14th Avenues and Colorado Boulevard. By placing permanent structures like concrete blocks on these protected lanes, the routes would help accommodate more cyclists on the road and enable bikers to travel longer distances.

Bike Streets hosts free group rides to get community members on the streets and excited about cycling.

“ is core network of high volume streets should be wide enough for people to pass, should be direct and generally speaking, protected and separated,” said June Churchill, the 2024 Bike Mayor of the Denver Bicycle Lobby, an advocacy group working to make Denver a more bikable city. While the map focuses on major throughways, Churchill said it’s comprehensive throughout the city. “ e intention is to make it possible for anyone in Denver to get where they need to go,” she said.

e working plan also builds o existing infrastructure, with plans to extend bikeways in some areas such as lengthening the protected bike lane on Broadway, one of the city’s welltraveled routes; changing some bikeways such as converting the painted bike lane on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard into a protected bike lane; and installing safety measures like bike signals and crossing lights. is would help current connectivity issues as many neighborhood bikeways end without safe or easy ways to cross high-tra c roads. In addition to improving safety for bikers, the city is also tackling improving safety for drivers, particularly on arterial roadways and intersections where accidents are more highly concentrated.

A group ride organized by Bike Streets meets up for a spin around the Washington Park neighborhood.

“We think a lot about who we are designing these routes for,” said Churchill. “It’s the parents with kids, the risk-averse and the cautiously optimistic about biking in the city. Safety along with time are the key factors in making decisions around

3. Jerky (beef or vegan)

e only savory option on the list, jerky gives you a protein boost and makes you feel like a real outdoorsman while you blaze Colorado’s mountain trails. is is the perfect option to stop and gather your strength before you tackle the nal stretch of your hike.

Plus, vegan jerky is severely underrated (try Louisville Vegan Jerky Co. Even meat-eaters won’t be disappointed).

But jerky can be expensive. Grab a beef stick or a Slim Jim to save money and still get some protein in.  2. Gummy candy

Full disclosure: this is a weird one. My buddy once brought gummy bears on a hike and I couldn’t believe how rewarding they were to eat

Changes to major roadways could mean fewer parking spaces for cars or slower travel time, to which Churchill notes slower cars are safer cars. Balancing parking for residents and businesses has been a signi cant challenge in bikeway infrastructure such as a plan in 2020 to install a protected bike lane on Washington and Clarkson streets which was quickly shot down by residents due to the loss of

is is purely a guilty pleasure treat for yourself. I know gummy candy doesn’t give you energy, protein or the health bene ts of fruit, but once you conquer a di cult hike, they are such a sweet treat. Or sour, if you’re into that.

Just make sure you don’t grab the wrong gummies from the fridge on your way out the door!

1. Clif Bars/protein bars/breakfast bars

e undisputed No. 1 of the list: nothing lls you up like a Clif Bar (shout-out to chocolate chip, peanut butter banana and blueberry almond crisp avors).

I don’t know how they do it, but it reminds me of the “lembas bread” given to the hobbits in the rst “Lord of the Rings.” One bite was supposed to be enough to ll the belly of a grown man. Every time I eat a Clif

Despite challenges, the bene ts of increasing biking infrastructure in cities extend beyond a safer transportation environment. Protected bike lanes and neighborhood bikeways can create more green infrastructure throughout the city by reclaiming roadway space. Replacing car trips with biking helps ght climate change by reducing a major source of carbon pollution, another way Bike Streets is

Bar, I’m shocked at how well it subdues my hunger.

But if you prefer others, there’s no shortage of solid options protein bar-wise. Honey Stinger Wa es are delicious and give you a boost of energy. Nutri-Grain bars never fail to disappoint if you can keep them in one piece. But protein bars are tailor-

“We have been taught to think that bike commuting is biking to work and we have missed the opportunity on all of these other trips,” Stopper said.

Adams County Commissioners

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR ADAMS COUNTY, STATE OF COLORADO

Public Notice

RESOLUTION APPROVING THE REFERRAL OF A BALLOT ISSUE FOR THE NOVEMBER 5, 2024, GENERAL ELECTION AUTHORIZING THE IMPOSITION OF A TEMPORARY .15% COUNTYWIDE SALES TAX FOR THE PURPOSE OF INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE UNINCORPORATED AND INCORPORATED AREAS OF ADAMS COUNTY

Resolution 2024 - 447

WHEREAS, the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic conditions have caused dramatic unanticipated increases in the cost of housing in Adams County (“County”) and the lack of affordable housing in the County for low and moderate income households has caused economic distress to Adams County individuals, families and businesses; and,

WHEREAS, the County has an estimated housing unit deficit of approximately 10,000 homes that is expected to increase to approximately 30,000 by 2050 if not addressed; and,

WHEREAS, a dedicated revenue stream to support the availability of affordable homes is critical to meeting the housing development goals set forth in Colorado State law; and,

WHEREAS, the County is legally authorized to impose a sales tax on the sale of tangible personal property at retail and the furnishing of services, subject to the approval of the registered electors of the County; and,

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the interest of the residents of Adams County to impose a temporary Countywide sales tax at the rate of .15% for the period beginning January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2044, the receipts from which shall be restricted in application to the expansion of affordable housing in the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Adams County; and, WHEREAS, the Board has determined that a question regarding the imposition of a temporary sales tax for the purposes enunciated herein should be submitted by the Board to the eligible electors of the County; and, WHEREAS, the Board has determined to set the ballot title and ballot question for the issue to be submitted at the election called by this Resolution.

4.The Clerk and Recorder shall cause all acts required or permitted by the Uniform Election Code and the Rules relevant to be performed by the Clerk and Recorder or its designees.

5.The Clerk and Recorder shall cause a notice of election to be published in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, including but not limited to, the Uniform Election Code and TABOR.

7.Pursuant to C.R.S. § 29-2-104(5), the Clerk and Recorder shall publish the text of this Resolution four separate times, a week apart, in the official newspaper of the County and each city and incorporated town within the County.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

September 12, 2024

Adams County 4430 S. Adams County Pkwy. Brighton, CO 80601 (720) 523-6200

On or about September 20, Adams County will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as Hughes Station Apartments Rehabilitation for the purpose of rehabilitation activities to repair the significant interior needs and to increase the efficiency and livability of the dwelling units and drainage and stormwater treatment improvements on the subject property. Proposed rehabilitation consist of: rehabilitation of unit interiors; installation of energy-efficient furnaces, water heaters, and lighting; improvements in common areas; aesthetic improvements to leasing office interior; installation of new windows; repairs to exterior siding, handrails, and Juliet balconies; repainting of exteriors; extension of the roof lines; correction of improper drainage pathways; correction of unit entry door frames to prevent water intrusion; bringing all first-floor units to ADA/FHA standards and creating 6 accessible units; improvements to stormwater detention; accessibility improvements to walkways; and repair of parking lots. The unitby-unit renovations and repairs include taking all existing finishes down to the drywall; replacing the subflooring as necessary; installing new flooring, cabinets, countertops, plumbing fixtures, doors, handles, light fixtures, electrical hardware, and blinds; new appliances; and repainting of all unit interiors. The proposed project budget is estimated at approximately $30.5 million, with $347,363.01 in CDBG funding.

The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at the Adams County Government Center, 4430 S. Adams County Parkway, Brighton, CO 80601 and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M to 4:30 P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Adams County Housing Policy & Community Investments Division. All comments received by September 19, 2024, will be considered by Adams County prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION

Adams County certifies to HUD that Emma Pinter in her capacity as Chair of the Board of County Commissioners consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these

responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Adams County to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and Adams County’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Adams County; (b) Adams County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted via email in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Noemi Ghirghi, CPD Region VIII Director, at CPDRROFDEN@hud.gov. Potential objectors should contact CPDRROFDEN@hud.gov to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Colorado holds the most patents in its regional group

And the most by women inventors

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

By opening a regional o ce in Denver 10 years ago, the U.S. Patent and Trademark O ce is ful lling a mission to better reach inventors where they live.

e Rocky Mountain Regional Ofce in Denver, the second of ve to open outside of the Washington, D.C.area headquarters, has seen a steady growth of patents from residents within its nine-state jurisdiction. Colorado, the most populated of the nine, holds the most patents in the regional group, as well as the most by women inventors.

“ ere’s a hotbed here around Denver,” said Kathi Vidal, director of the whole patent o ce who was in town for the 10-year anniversary. “ e data shows that once you have women patentees, you tend to have more women patentees. But it’s also spreading out into other areas.”

In Colorado, 23% of 53,000 patent holders in the past 10 years were women, compared with 13% nationwide. Other states in the district may be smaller but also have higher rates, like North Dakota, which had 300 patents in the past decade and a 19% women’s participation rate.

ere’s still room for growth. And Molly Kocialski, director of the regional o ce for eight of the 10 years, said it’s more about showing up in communities not used to having a federal o cial visit — and listening. She said USPTO employees now number 400plus today in the region from 29 a decade ago. And she and her team spend a good chunk of their time traveling around Colorado and the other eight states. And when they reach out, they continue to build on that relationship.

“In the places where we have been able to have the conversation … we’ve seen amazing rewards,” Kocialski said. “Like in Montana. From the rst time I was there until now, we’ve seen a 5X increase in the number of women patent inventors. (It’s) being very intentional about how we talk about who participates in the innovation econ-

omy, making sure that obstacles and barriers aren’t there.”

Vidal, a long-time intellectual patent attorney in Silicon Valley with a degree in electrical engineering, said that the agency had looked into the low rate of patents among women inventors. ey found that women were opting out of the process, be it from discouragement, the expense or other reasons.

“So even once we get women to the door to do all the great work, women opt out at a higher rate,” said Vidal, who joined the patent o ce in 2022. “We’ve been trying to identify those issues and then solve them.”

One x? Welcome letters. In the past, she said, “ ey’d get a ling receipt and the next thing they get is a rejection. And you can imagine, if that’s your welcome to the system, it’s not going to seem like something that’s warm and friendly and make you want to continue on.”

e welcome letter provides an introduction to the inventor ecosystem, resources and patent tracking. All lers get the welcome letter, not just women inventors.

“It congratulates her because she can use ‘patent pending’ already,” Vidal added. “And with the next communication, that’s often a rejection. But we put it into context that this is really an opportunity for us to engage and make

to make it,” Bowens shared. She needed something big to t her curvy body. But the results were often “a size 8,” which evoked laughter from the audience.

“And so Target said, what do you want, tell us whatever it is,” she said. “And what Target did was reach out to their manufacturing partners and say, ‘Look we support DEI, do you support DEI? Would you be willing to work with a startup company and help them with their product?’”

Six manufacturers had sample products delivered to her front door within a week. “And I was like, that actually t,” she said.

Even if the day’s panelists didn’t start with the patent o ce, they’ve come to rely on it as a future resource. Rose Matthes, who cofounded rechargeable wall light maker Poplight in Denver, hopes to get more assistance in ling future patents. Poplight’s rst patent was issued in July 2023, with the help of a patent attorney and at least $25,000.

sure we issue her a strong patent. We want to make sure we craft the patent and the claims in a way that she gets a strong right that she can use to attract funding, to build a business and defend her business.”

ey also started monthly “WE” seminars featuring women entrepreneurs who share their startup stories.

e sessions are virtual but sometimes guests show up in person.

e stories and tips shared would bene t all inventors.

Charlotte Young Bowens, an ultra marathoner and employee at Arizona State University, came up with the idea of the VestaPak, a hydration vest “for bigger bodies” to hold gear and keep her hydrated while training. It’s patent pending, but not without a lot of e ort as a novice inventor.

On Friday nights, she said she’d sip a glass of wine and sit on her couch to nd potential entrepreneurial programs and resources. At the university, she tapped into the law school and found law students who helped with her patent and trademarks at a reasonable cost. She linked up with REI’s Embark, which provides support to outdoor-gear startups, and Target, which helped her get her vests made.

“At that point in time, I had spent $10,000 on manufacturing (samples) but none of them could gure out how

“I think there’s grants I could have searched for but we just felt a lot of rush and time pressure,” Matthes said. “It’s really expensive and it’s hard for a mom-and-pop business to drop $15,000 to le patents.”

She added that the boom in female inventors not only has to do with additional support locally and nationwide, but for TV programs like “Shark Tank,” which Poplight was on in January.

“I think ‘Shark Tank’ has a really big e ect (because) if you see a problem and you can x something, I think women are really creative with problem-solving and xing things like that,” she said. “I’m in a world where I’m like, ‘God, my lightning sucks. How can I improve it?’ and then coming up with a physical product idea.”

Kocialski said she just wants to make sure her o ce is everywhere in Colorado where a person with an idea can learn that the local patent o ce provides pro bono support and resources.

“If we keep more women in the innovation economy, we can keep everybody else,” she said. “We want every brain that can innovate to have the ability to innovate without obstacles and impediments.”
