Thornton students from Afghanistan nurture love of cricket

BY JENNY BRUNDIN

Forget LeBron James or Travis Kelce.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rashid Khan are where it’s at for Mudasir, a sixth-grader at ornton Middle School. e two superstars play on Afghanistan’s national cricket team.

Mudasir and his friends watch as many of their matches as they can. But today is Tuesday, Mudasir’s favorite day of the week. It’s the day he and his friends get to show o their cricket skills.

“I come here to play cricket and work hard to go to the games and win the games,” he said.

When the nal bell rings, he and the other boys race giddy with joy onto the playground into the November chill. ey set up the wickets, stumps and bails. And they play their hearts out.

When you’re more than 7,000 miles away from where you spent most of your childhood, there’s nothing like Tuesday after school. It’s practice time for the school’s cricket club. All 18 boys are from Afghanistan where

cricket is the most popular sport in the country. In fact, cricket is the second most popular sport in the world. It’s set to debut in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. ese boys are part of an e ort to bring the sport to more Colorado youth.

“ is game is for every country and (we hope) more will come to play cricket,” said Rashid, 13.

Before I watch, I’ve got to get a few things under my belt.

“What’s your favorite position?” I ask.

“Batting! Batting! Batting!

Bowling! Bowling! Batting!” they yell out.

e main positions are batting (self-explanatory), bowling (pitching the ball), and elding (like out eld), though none of these boys are much like that last one except eighth-grader Modasir, the mature, easy-going captain who radiates con dence.

“Everything is my favorite, batting, bowling, elding, everything,” he said. “I just love this game. Cricket makes me feel proud and happy in this school.”

Hospitals rationing intravenous fluids

National shortage in hurricane’s wake may last for months

BY

Hospitals around the country are conserving critical intravenous uid supplies to cope with a shortage that may last months. Some hospital administrators say they are changing how they think about IV uid hydration altogether.

Hurricane Helene, which hit North Carolina in September, wrecked a Baxter International facility that produces 60% of the IV uids used in the U.S., according to the American Hospital Association.

e company was forced to stop production and is rationing its products. In an update posted Nov. 7, Baxter said its North Cove facility had resumed producing some IV uids. In an email to KFF Health News, the company wrote that customers will be able to order normal quantities of “certain IV solutions products” by the end of the year, but there is no timeline for when the North Cove facility will be back to prehurricane production levels.

Meanwhile, hospitals are facing seasonal strains on their already limited IV uid resources, said Sam Elgawly, chief of resource stewardship at Inova, a health system in the Washington, D.C., area.

“We’ve been very aggressive in our conservation measures,” Elgawly said, stressing that he does not believe patient care has been compromised. He told KFF Health News that across the system IV uid usage has dropped 55% since early October.

Elgawly called the shortage a crisis that he expects to have to continue managing for some time. “We are going to operate under the assumption that this is going to be the way it is through the end of 2024 and have adopted our demand/conservation measures accordingly,” he said.

At the end of the calendar year, many patients with insurance hurry to schedule surgical procedures before their deductibles reset in January. Elgawly is eyeing that typical surgical rush and the impending peak of respiratory virus season as he tries to stockpile IV uid bags. Hospitals such as Inova’s are using

Cities chide DOT for suspending Highway 7 paving

Mayors argue road work should have continued in balmy October

“I drive this road every day on my way to my day job and it’s been an area that has

“We are particularly concerned that work stopped during unseasonably warm weather without prior notice,” Mills said. “We would like to know why Brighton was not informed about the suspension of operations along with the timeline for these repairs.”

“What started as a promising project,” he added “has become a source of frustration for our community.”

Myklebust said.

“Unfortunately, complications occurred, including temperatures dropping below 50 degrees at night, prohibiting completion of construction within the 2024 construction season,” she said. “CDOT’s paving speci cation for top lift asphalt doesn’t allow paving below 50 degrees, as that could jeopardize overall compaction which is crucial for maintaining quality and providing long-term

durability. e project team explored other avenues to keep paving e orts moving forward, but other alternatives were problematic from either a cost or

Although paving is on hold throughout the winter, CDOT will still be performing other construction activities, and will continue to monitor pavement quality and striping conditions, Myklebust told

“As we move into a winter paving shutdown over the coming weeks, we have identi ed several critical areas along this stretch of road that will receive extensive and robust patching. Once patching operations cease, non-pavement related construction activities will continue, such as installing the new signal at Holly Street, pipe replacement at Colorado Boulevard, boring conduit for new lighting luminaires, cleaning culverts and maintaining the striping over the winter,” she said.

CDOT plans to resume paving operations as soon as nighttime temperatures allow in spring 2025, she said. e agency will also be stepping up its information campaign for the project, she said.

Repaving work along Colorado State Highway 7 between Thornton and Brighton was halted because of cold weather, despite high temps.

Happy Thanksgiving! This Is When I Like to Share What and Whom I Am Grateful for

Just being healthy is something anyone should be grateful for, especially at my age of 77. I’m doubly blessed, because my wife Rita, 76, is also healthy! Our siblings, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other relatives are healthy, too.

All of us are aware that not everyone is as lucky as we are, so philanthropic giving is a trait I think all of us share, and I know many readers of this column do, too. And our broker associates, who responded as one to sponsoring and providing side dishes for Dignity Tuesday, share that trait, too. Last week, as a group we donated food to Dignity Tuesday for people less fortunate than us . The event took place at Golden Pantry and Thrift, formerly the Christian Action Guild.

this long-running newspaper column. I particularly appreciate those readers who take the time to write to me, suggesting topics they want me to write about or making me aware of an issue that might have escaped my attention. Therefore, I have to say that I’m especially grateful to the publications who have made it possible for me to publish this column so widely.

er demographic that is perfect for this column. Those are my most faithful readers — although some of them object to my progressive views!

stay ahead of the competition.” I couldn’t stay as informed as I am — and keep my readers informed — without Inman in my back pocket. I mean, my inbox!

I’m grateful for Chuck Lontine, the owner of The Cloud, 96.9 FM, who organized Dignity Tuesday, which he started during the pandemic. He is a man with a big heart, and I salute him.

I’m grateful for the community we live in and for the larger metro Denver community. As most of you know, Dec. 10th is Colorado Gives Day, and I recently learned about its origins. It was started in 2010, when it was reported that Colorado was 50th on the list of states when it came to charitable giving. Thanks to the Colorado Gives Foundation, Colorado now ranks at the top of that list.

When thinking about who I’m grateful for, our clients — most of whom came to us from reading this column each week — come to mind immediately. Thank you for calling me, so I don’t have to call you! It is so nice that I don’t have to sell myself to prospective sellers and buyers. They come to me “pre-sold” thanks to

Thank you, Linda Shapley, the publisher of Colorado Community Media, for making it possible for this column to appear is all 24 of your weekly newspapers. And, I should add thanks to the National Trust for Local News and the Colorado Sun, which purchased CCM in 2021 with a commitment to saving community newspapers. If it weren’t for them and their non-profit model, some of those 24 newspapers, including this one, might not be around today.

My first big newspaper contract was with the Rocky Mountain News, when they created the YourHub section in 2005. When the Rocky ceased publishing in 2009, YourHub was the only piece of the Rocky which The Denver Post picked up and promoted. I like to think that my full-page ad 52 times per year might be a factor in justifying YourHub’s continuation. Thank you, The Denver Post, for continuing that publication so that I can continue reaching your readers all across the metro area.

Lastly, in this department, my thanks to Dan Johnson of the Denver Gazette for soliciting my account this October and making an offer I couldn’t refuse to include this full-page ad in your digital newspaper. Typical of printed newspapers, the Gazette has a mature homeown-

Moving, Even Locally, Can Cost You a Lot

At Golden Real Estate, we like to save you money wherever we can. For example, we have a handyman who can help you get your home ready to show or fix inspection issues at the client-only rate of $30/ hour.

We also have a box truck which you can use prior to, during and after closing, not just for moving to your new home, but making those dump runs or runs to Goodwill for donating all that stuff you accumulated over the years!

and packing material, including bubble wrap, so don’t buy any yourself.

We’ve been offering the use of this truck since 2004. In fact, this is our second truck. It’s hard to estimate how much money we have saved our buyers and sellers, but it must be several hundred thousands of dollars.

We also provide free moving boxes

We also make the truck available free to nonprofits and local organizations, such as Family Promise and BGoldN, which uses it to do pickups from Food Bank of the Rockies for local food banks.

The sellers bought this home at 5948 Routt Street from the builder 53 years ago, and it’s time to sell. You’ll be impressed by the exterior and interior improvements made by the seller through the years. For example, a sunroom was added over the back of the garage (visible in this picture) which is open to the kitchen and which opens to a deck with stairs down to a wood deck in the backyard. All the rooms have either hardwood or manufactured hardwood floors. The updated kitchen has an 18-inch ceramic tile floor, quartz countertop with undermount stainless steel sink and newer appliances. All the bathrooms have been updated, too. Even the driveway was updated with new concrete in an attractive pattern. You’ll love watching the sunset from the deck outside the front door next to the garage. Video tour and pictures at www.ArvadaHome.info. Open Saturday 11am to 1pm.

$650,000

I’m also grateful to my professional colleagues, especiallyfellow Realtors, who are among my most regular readers. And the Realtor association itself (the Denver Metro Association of Realtors or DMAR) does important work keeping us up to date on industry developments.

Just as important, in that regard, is the Inman News, which provides an endless stream of important email newsletters keeping me abreast of industry developments, innovations and challenges, which sometimes inspire a topic for this column. It describes itself as “the leading real estate news source for real estate agents, Realtors, brokers, real estate executives and real estate technology leaders who need the latest real estate news, insights and analysis to grow their business and

Here’s a Holiday Gift Giving Idea

Colorado Giving Foundation sells digital “Giving Cards.” Specify the dollar amount and who to send it to, and the recipient can then go to ColoradoGives.org where they can “spend” it as they wish. Give to clients, friends, children, et al. I’m going to make that my holiday giving!

Many Agents Are Taking a Continuing Education Class That Will Be Obsolete on January 1st

All licensed real estate professionals in Colorado are required to take the Annual Commission Update (ACU) class as part of their continuing education requirement to stay licensed.

The class can be taken at any time during the calendar year, with a new version introduced each January.

At Golden Real Estate, I incentivize our broker associates by reimbursing the $40 cost of the 4-hour class if they take it in January. It can be taken either online or in-person. That’s how important I think it is to be current on the everevolving rules that we must comply with and to learn about the latest revisions to the contract forms we must use.

Many licensees, however, don’t take this CE class until the last minute. I asked some of the major providers of the course for their enrollment figures to see how many licensees wait until the 4th quarter to take the class.

One of the biggest providers of CE classes is DMAR’s PEAK program, and Lisa Kallweit, DMAR’s director of member services, couldn’t give me this quarter’s enrollment numbers, but provided these numbers for the 4th quarter of the last three years.

2021 - 429 agents

2022 - 372 agents

2023 - 331 agents

Another big provider is Educated Minds. They have 393 agents enrolled so far this quarter and reported these numbers for the past three years:

2021 - 802 agents

2022 - 719 agents

2023 - 652 agents

It seems such a waste to take the ACU class at the end of the year, when the new ACU class is coming in January. Also, how many things did agents learn in December that they should have known 10 months earlier?

Annual Colorado Gives Day takes place on Dec. 10

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Whether a nonpro t organization has participated in Colorado Gives Day for one year or for 10, is large or small, the Colorado Gives Foundation continues to support thousands of nonpro ts across the state in the hopes of connecting people and ideas.

“Colorado Gives Day is really an opportunity to be part of the statewide movement,” said Kelly Dunkin, president and CEO of the Colorado Gives Foundation. “I think of it as the ultimate feel-good event.”

Colorado Gives Day launched in 2010 and has become one of the state’s largest 24-hour giving events. Taking place on the second Tuesday every December, which this year is Dec. 10, Coloradans can use the Colorado Gives Day website to nd a cause they want to support and can donate any amount.

‘The ultimate feel-good event’

However, early giving kicked o on the rst of November.

While people can donate to Colorado Gives all year long, Dunkin said donations during early giving and on Colorado Giving Day gets a boost from the foundation’s $1 Million + Incentive Fund.

When it comes to volunteering and charitable giving, national trends have

indicated that there has been a decline over the years, which can be attributed to economic distress among other factors, according to a 2024 Giving USA report. e report showed that giving by individuals declined 2.3% in 2023.

Despite national trends, Dunkin said the Colorado Gives Foundation is seeing a di erent trend — a positive and hopeful one at that.

Compared to 2023 numbers, Dunkin said the amount donated so far this year has increased 76%. Additionally, the number of donations increased 46%, the number of nonpro ts that have received

a donation went up 22% and the number of donors making donations increased

“We’re hopeful that it means we’ll see a great response on Colorado Gives Day,” said Dunkin.

Last year, more than $53 million was raised for more than 4,000 nonpro ts. As for early giving, the cumulative total the foundation made between Nov. 1-13 in 2023 was $2.49 million, according to Dunkin. is year, the cumulative total made between Nov. 1-13 was about $3.1 million.

“We’re always amazed and grateful to Colorado donors who step up every year to support their favorite nonpro ts,” said Dunkin.

Tra c fatalities balloon in Thornton

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ornton o cials say they are considering nearly any method to tame the city’s streets, which have been especially deadly this year.

“I don’t think anything is o the table,” Interim Police Chief Greg Reeves told the city council Tuesday.

As of Oct. 29, there have been 18 total fatalities on ornton’s streets this year, compared to eight in 2023, 11 in 2022 and 12 in 2021, according to Reeves. ornton has among the highest tra c fatalities in the north metro area, he said.

Six fatalities were car versus pedestrian. Five of which were the pedestrian’s fault,

Reeves said.

“We think all fatal accidents are associated with speed,” Reeves said.

e most notable fatal crash in ornton occurred last month at the intersection of ornton Parkway and Washington Street.

Four members of a Colorado family were killed, and another person was seriously injured in the crash, which occurred about 7:30 p.m., according to ornton Police.

Police said one of the two vehicles involved in the crash caught re, killing all occupants inside. e victims were identi ed as Francisco Díaz and his children Paola, 15, and Nataly, 10 and their mother Beatriz Núñez.

e driver of the second vehicle was transported to the hospital with serious injuries, police said. Colorado Community Media is seeking information on his status.

Reeves said his priority since this fall is tra c safety. “We are looking at education and enforcement,” he said.

e city is implementing a system of red-light cameras at 120th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard and 88th Avenue and Washington Street. e intersections experience “high-frequency, high-severity crashes…” according to a city sta report to the city council.

e $204,850 in funding will cover two mobile speed enforcement cameras placed at di erent locations based on the

number of speeding tra c citations, crash data and citizen complaints, the report states.   e police department’s tra c unit will be fully sta ed in 2025 with 18 o cers, 10 of which will be enforcement o cers, Reeves said. Two will be designated for DUI enforcement, four will be drug recognition experts and two will be commercial carrier inspectors, Reeves said. e city will also begin implementing the Vision Zero program, which takes a “multi-layer” approach to tra c safety, Reeves said.

“We’ve heard from the council,” he said. “And tra c safety will be our top priority.” e city council will get an update on Vision Zero in December.

Prairie dogs abundant, Westminster claims

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Prairie dog colonies in Westminster are bursting at the seams and the animals are now working their way out of designated open spaces and into residential neighborhoods, say o cials.

e result is a complex problem for wildlife managers.

“Prairie dogs are an emerging issue in the city,” City Manager Jody Andrews told the city council Tuesday night. e time is ripe for an update to the city’s current prairie dog management

plan which was put into place in 2005. An update is coming next year as part of a system-wide ecosystem management for open spaces in the city, according to city sta members.

City sta ers outlined the status of prairie dogs in the city for councilors, noting that the rodents play a crucial role in maintaining healthy grassland ecosystems. ey are also considered a keystone species in Colorado, a city sta report states.

Prairie dog populations uctuate over time, in uenced by disease and predators. Also contrary to popular belief, prairie dogs do not carry bubonic plague, but

they are highly susceptible to disease and die quickly during an outbreak, the sta report states.

e prairie dog population in Westminster is “healthy” and given ongoing development, the animals are increasingly con ned to preserved open space. “ is has led to overpopulation and habitat degradation in some of these areas,” the sta report states.

“In some parts of the city, prairie dog colonies are encroaching into residential neighborhoods,” the report states.

e city does not manage prairie dogs on private lands, leaving management to the private landowner.

Keeping prairie dogs from wandering Westminster could put up fencing or barriers to deter prairie dogs from wandering but barriers are not a guaranteed solution, and they are also expensive. e city also does not install fencing on open space to fence in wildlife, o cials said. Removing prairie dogs is legal for private landowners and costs about $5,000 per acre or more, the sta report states. “ is type of control is typically not a onetime event and requires ongoing control measures,” the report states.

MUST READ. GREAT FOR BOOK CLUBS.

A womanizing US president. Gin-drinking, poker-playing, skirt-chasing Cabinet members. And a plot from the inside to usurp control of the Navy’s oil reserves. Wild and juicy stuff this. And all of it a true chapter of America’s history.

There may not be another US scandal that is so heavy with corruption and criminality that weighs so lightly on our collective consciousness as the Teapot Dome Scandal. From 1920 to 1922, power-hungry politicians and corporate tycoons boldly schemed to steal the nation’s newest energy resourcel. In so doing these crooks put a black mark on the pioneering work of those who gave birth to Wyoming’s incredible bonanza.

With a deft researcher’s hand and the heart and attention of a creative writer, Constance Bierkan has written a rst-of-its-kind ctionalized recounting of what led up to this nearly forgotten nugget from the past, the Teapot Dome Scandal. Like No Place on Earth is a spirited coming-of-age story set in Wyoming at the start of the madcap Roaring Twenties and the birth of the oil industry. As much a love story as it is a historical deep-dive, Like No Place on Earth will be irresistible to book clubs and history buffs alike.

Constance Bierkan grew up in Zürich, Switzerland and London, England. She sat her Ordinary and Advanced Level exams administered by the University of London while in high school at Francis Holland and earned a BA in English Literature with a minor in Semantics from Skidmore College and Goucher College. She also worked toward a Master’s at Fair eld University in Psychology. Bierkan’s debut novel, Alone In A Crowded Room - An Adoption Story, published in 2017, received a Kirkus Star and was named Kirkus Best Book Indie 2018. Free To Breathe is her second outing and it captures one boy’s struggle to emerge from an abusive family and nd authentic loving relationships. Her third, In Spite of It All, is a historical ction piece, wherein the history of Hitler’s propaganda art is married to a race of high jinks to rescue it from the wrong hands. Fluent in French and German, Bierkan loves to read, people watch, work puzzles, travel and off-road in her badass Jeep Wrangler. She and her best friend-husband-Naval-Aviator-veteran-airline-pilotgentlemantree-farmer, live at 8,200 feet in the Rocky Mountains.

Colorado Animal Rescue Express, located in Greenwood Village, works to curb pet homelessness through transportation and veterinary care donations. e nonpro t also works to reduce pet-overpopulation with sponsored programs for spay and neuter procedures.

e rst year that Mendelsberg participated in the event, her nonpro t won an award for being the smallest charity to have the largest number of donors.

“(Colorado Gives Day) gives a platform to tell your story and to be in front of other people, to be in front of a donor audience,” said Mendelsberg.

She added that Colorado Gives Day has been very important to the nonpro t’s success. Ever since it was formed in 2007, about 65,400 homeless pets have been

e animal nonpro t is just one of thousands of nonpro ts that bene t from the annual fundraising event. e Aspen Effect, based in Douglas County, began fundraising through Colorado Gives Day last year.

Acknowledging the prevalence of mental health issues among youth, Jerry Van Leuvan founded the nonpro t to help give youth a place to connect with one another, heal and thrive.

In its third year of operations, e Aspen E ect is a youth program that aims to increase the resilience of youth across the county through the therapeutic relationships they develop with farm animals and adult mentors.

“Being a part of Colorado GIves Day has not only helped us to raise funding for e Aspen E ect, it gives us a strong connec-

e campaign runs through mid-December with donation drop-o s available at three locations on Dec. 14.

As part of the campaign, RTD’s winter parade bus and sta will travel to three stations from Boulder south to Littleton on Saturday, Dec. 14 to collect the coldweather items from the public and engage with the community.

e bus is scheduled to be at the downtown Boulder Station from 9-10:30 a.m. Dec. 14. From there it will lead to Denver’s Union Station, where it will be from 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

It heads then to its nal stop at the Lit-

tion to the bigger community of nonpro t work in Colorado,” said Van Leuvan.

How it works

People can go online to Coloradogives. org and type in a name of the nonpro t they want to support. If they are unsure, they can search by cause or location. e 12 groups of causes range from animals and civil rights to mental health and religion.

Donors can give various amounts to multiple nonpro ts at the same time by adding their donations to a cart. e donor can then check out all at once and receive one receipt.

“Just like shopping online,” said Dunkin. “If you can shop online, you can give online.”

Every donation made and processed between Nov. 1 and Dec. 10 is boosted by the $1 Million + Incentive Fund. e Colorado Gives Foundation puts in $500,000, its partner FirstBank puts in $500,000 and

e RTD Gives clothing drive showcases the agency’s dedication to community support and builds on the success of the agency’s Operation Give-a-Gift initiative from past years, which allowed RTD employees to contribute items and funds to local charities throughout the month of December, according to the news release.

All collected items will be delivered to A Precious Child during the week of Dec. 16. For more information about the RTD Gives clothing drive visit rtd-denver.com.

from there, other community sponsors help it grow.

e fund boosts every donation made based on a percentage, said Dunkin.  All nonpro ts receive a percentage of the fund equal to the percentage it raised for Colorado Gives Day. For example, if a nonpro t raises 10%, it gets 10% of the Incentive Fund.

“All nonpro ts on the website are public charities, therefore, whatever dedication you can take, you’ll need to talk to your tax advisor about that,” said Dunkin.  e foundation also has nonpro ts that o er the homeless tax credit, the child care tax credit and the Enterprise Zone tax credit on the website.

She added that a lot of individuals have what are called Donor Advised Funds, and a donor can easily use their Donor Advised Funds to make contributions to nonpro ts on the site.

Third ‘Unstudied’ poetry event set for Dec. 7

County Poet Laureate Kerrie Joy joins local poets for program

STAFF REPORT

Anythink invites the community to the third Unstudied Adams County, an inspiring poetry and arts event created and hosted by Adams County Poet Laureate Kerrie Joy, from 4–6:30 p.m.Dec. 7 at Anythink Wright Farms.

is December gathering celebrates the season’s cozy atmosphere, inviting attendees to experience live music, themed activity zones, and food from local vendors—all free of charge.

Since launching Unstudied Adams County, we’ve seen incredible engagement from the community,” says Suzanne McGowan, director of customer experience at Anythink. “Each of these unique, memorable events brings people of all backgrounds together to celebrate creative expression and make meaningful connections.”

Attendees will explore di erent expressions of coziness with performances by Kerrie Joy (she/her), featured artist Talaya Banks (she/they), and local poets during an afternoon of poetry, music, and connection. Participants are encouraged to dress in their “fanciest” comfy clothes and are welcome to bring a blanket to enhance the cozy setting.

“For me, ‘cozy’ makes me think of hugs and warm drinks and good stories,” shares Kerrie Joy. “It is my favorite macaroni and cheese, my favorite pe-

can pie. I look forward to a night of poetry that sticks to our bones and rocks us gently into truth and imagination.”

Talaya Banks, a Black queer artist from Denver, brings her unique perspective as an “imagineer, anthropologist, play enthusiast, and herb intuitive” to Unstudied. Her work centers around creating spaces for Black femmes to experience joy, safety, and leisure, using play as a way to disrupt colonial expectations and foster presence in the body.

“Being the featured artist for Unstudied feels like paying homage to “ e Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” nding a seat in the classroom, being present, asking how we know love,” says Banks. “ e poems I’m sharing explore trust not as a xed structure but as a living, wild-growing garden.

Inspired by Al Green’s music, Bell Hooks’ insights on love, and Audre Lorde’s depth of feeling, my work invites us to sit in the spaces where meaning blooms beyond what we’ve been taught. e audience can expect an unfolding of memories that live in our bodies, waiting to be seen and honored.”

A limited open mic will provide an opportunity for local poets of all ages, skill levels, and abilities to perform. Signups open at 4 pm, and time slots will be available on a rst-come, rst-served basis. Performances are limited to ve minutes and may be in any language. is all-ages event welcomes everyone and does not require registration. For more information, visit www.anythinklibraries.org.

Northglenn lands famous troupe for holiday show

Improv legends bring act to Northglenn’s Parsons Theatre

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e legendary comedy troupe that launched the careers of John Belushi, Tina Fey and Bill Murray is working its way to Northglenn’s Parsons eatre.

Second City, seen as the world’s premier improv and sketch comedy institution, will put on its production of “ e Good, e Bad, and e Ugly Sweater” Dec. 21 at Parsons eatre. e Second City performers will o er their takes on festive family gatherings, o ce parties and classic holiday movies.

“What better way to send o 2024 that to roast it like chestnuts on an open re?” according to a Parsons eatre news release. “ e Good, e Bad, and e Ugly Sweater is a fast-paced, interactive comedy revue stu ed with seasonal songs, sketches,  and of course, a generous helping of e Second City’s world-famous improv comedy.”

Michael Stricker, executive producer

of Northglenn Arts, said getting Second City to come to the Parsons eatre is a result of the city growing its roster of national and international performance tours ever since the theater opened in 2021.

“…So all of this is a bit of an accumulation,” Stricker said via email. e city was approached by Second City management earlier in the year but getting the performers to Northglenn was just outside of Northglenn’s price range, Stricker said.

“However, I went to my colleague at Lone Tree Arts Center and asked if they would like to block book with us and they graciously agreed,” Stricker said. “By block booking with another theatre you can decrease the costs for travel and various other aspects for the touring company, so it makes it more a ordable for the presenter.”

Second City opened its doors in 1959 as a comedy cabaret and now boasts stages, touring companies, and training centers across North America. Its alumni include Belushi, Fey, Murray, John Candy, Mike Meyers, Amy Poehler and Gilda Radner.

Improving voter support on Westminster ballot issues

As was reported last week, both of the City of Westminster’s ballot issues went down in defeat. e 0.50 of 1% sales and use tax increase for Fire Department improvements was defeated by a margin of 29,662 votes against and 26,052 votes in support or a 6% spread.

On the wards system proposal, the results were wider with 29,646 votes against compared to 24,745 votes in favor or a 9% spread. ere were 1,322 fewer voters weighing in on this issue.

With the exception of some group (probably Westminster re ghters or other area re ghters) putting out yard signs in support of the sales tax increase, there was no organized campaign for either ballot issue. I believe this was a strategic mistake because I do not think voters were well educated on the bene ts and drawbacks of each proposal.

Back when I was city manager, the city would form citizen-led campaign groups to educate voters and create some energy and enthusiasm on city ballot issues. I thought this year’s e ort on the two ballot issues was “ at.” By that I mean, there was no one, including the mayor or city council members, who did anything to visibly promote either proposition. Plus, where was the League of Women’s Voters to provide an analysis of the issues? It felt like the council had the attitude of we put issues on the ballot, but we don’t have any responsibility after that. I would disagree. If you put something on the ballot, then go out and support it. To say that the wards system concept was there for people to decide would be short-sighted. Obviously, the people decide all ballot issues, but council has a responsibility to make sure the voters understand each issue.

As far as the future goes on promoting a wards system of electing council members, I do not see this council trying again. We will see how that might play in the 2025 mayor and council election.

On the Fire Department improvements with a sales/use tax increase to fund this package, I believe the council will take another run at this proposal. However, I believe it will have the council’s “big picture” thinking which did not happen because of how the then City Manager handled the whole process. Plus, city council really did not have ownership of this ballot proposal.

Council should think small about future fire department issues

Certainly, there is merit and need in the city pursuing a scaled back proposal of Fire Department improvements which would be less aggressive and less costly. To begin with, it is important to recognize that approximately 90% of Fire De-

partment calls for service are emergency medical related. You do not need a fullblown re station with all the necessary re ghting apparatus and re ghting personnel in every situation. e city could be more strategic in their thinking and plan outside the box. For example, why not create “EMS sub-stations,” which involves an ambulance and two on-duty paramedics? ey could be housed in a much smaller, less expensive facility for sleeping, storing supplies. Training could take place at a regular re station or via Zoom sessions.

Anyway, the concept would be to get away from a “one size ts all” approach with only considering more re stations. In turn, the costs would be reduced and the needed sales/use tax increase could be less on taxpayers’ pocketbooks. Another approach which I mentioned before the election would be to split up the original proposal in two parts over several years.

Additional facilities and personnel are needed. at is not the issue. Sizing the package to t people’s appetite is the issue remembering that the city council still needs to deal with a major streets and bridges improvement package.

A ordable housing mandates ramping up

As you will recall, Governor Polis and the State Legislature passed various legislative bills involving mandates to Colorado municipalities and counties involving land use matters. ey justi ed them under the banner of “more a ordable housing.”

e major impact came from legislation designating transportation corridors where high density “a ordable” apart-

ment housing could be built. Another way to put it, is that local elected o cials cannot override such land use mandates whether they agree or not.

e implementation of this piece of the land use package is still in the making, including the designation of “transportation corridors” where high-density development can be located.

Hopefully, when this piece is completed and the locations are con rmed each municipality will apprise its residents accordingly.

On a di erent land use “front”, there are two state mandates which are easier and quicker to implement. ey consist of the “Accessory Dwelling Unit” mandate and the removal of local occupancy limits of unrelated residents in the same dwelling unit.

As I monitor the city council meeting and study session agendas of the north area municipalities, I would note that the cities are getting these city codes changed to comply with the state mandates.

So, in Westminster’s case, the changes to allow Accessory Dwelling Units and the limitation on unrelated individuals residing in the same household have been amended. Supposedly, these changes will generate more “a ordable housing” in each community according to the Governor and Democrat legislators.

On the ADU opportunity, an additional residential dwelling unit can be built on a lot if it meets certain standards. e size of the lot is critical to be able to accommodate say a 400-600 square foot home on the same site along with the original dwelling use. Separate utility tap fees would be required, and they are

pricey. Egress and ingress must be resolved with a lot of other considerations. On the removal of limiting the number of unrelated-family residents per household will be interesting to watch unfold. Possible neighborhood complaints and code enforcement actions may be generated from non-regulated homes.

Mid-density residential development reviewed in concept only

With Westminster’s fairly new requirement of new development getting an initial cursory review by city council without any action. e surrounding neighborhood also is made aware of the plans for that review.

A concept plan for Northgate Westminster Station consisting of 28 acres east of Federal Boulevard and south of 71st Avenue recently was reviewed in study session. e mid-density plan with ground level retail would double what the current Comprehensive Land Use Plan would allow.

e Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation is Residential Medium Density and Commercial. e developer’s concept calls for a total of 773 dwelling units ranging from single family, duplexes, townhomes and apartments. Density would range from a maximum of 12 dwelling units per acre to 36 per acre, with an overall density of 27.6 dwelling units per acre.

A maximum height of four stories is proposed for apartments that would be compatible with proposed residential development across Federal Boulevard on the former Nolan’s RV site.

With a focused heart and mind, you can traverse your mountain

Our heart and mindset can carry us through any di culty. For me, there is an explorer who I think of when I need to be reminded of this idea.

Ernest Shackleton was an Irish born explorer who led an expedition to cross Antarctica on dog sleds. Shackleton planned extensively for the 1914 trip, studying and seeking to prepare for every contingency. Months after starting out, the ship that Shackleton enlisted, e Endurance, became trapped and eventually was crushed by sea ice near the edge of Antarctica. is disaster left the expedition without shelter or transportation, stuck alone near the bottom of the world. With this devastating turn of events, Shackleton moved his goal from crossing Antarctica to seeing that the entire crew survived the ordeal. With that change in emphasis, he and the expedition began a heroic crossing of ice and sea in unbelievably di cult conditions. After traveling 600 nautical miles in little more than row boats, it became clear that a smaller party would need to leave the main group and attempt to reach help. To save the group, Shackleton and ve others made a very dangerous 850-mile open ocean crossing and eventually reached South Georgia Island. Landing on this sparsely populated land was not enough. To save the crew, the group needed to go to the shing post on the opposite side of the island and their only option for getting there was to cross a very dangerous set of island mountains… in the dead of winter. Once on land, the men took assessment of what they had to support their climb and three people were selected to hike the island. e trio had limited food and only carried 50 feet of rope, screws they pushed through the soles of their shoes and a carpenter’s cutting tool for the climb. With these simple items, the party made the 32-mile overland journey in 36 hours and ultimately saved the whole crew. e entire adventure is a spectacular achievement, but the nal overland journey is a thing of wonder. How could

City utilities are present next to the site. A public land dedication or cash in lieu would be involved for the city and Westminster Public School. While higher residential density would be supportive of existing commercial and retail in the corridor, compatibility with the existing Park Terrace single family homes to the east of the site will be an issue to work out. Also, adjusting the projected water demand for 700-plus DU’s is very important.

ABOUT LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

a malnourished, illequipped group of three cross a mountain range in the middle of winter? Two groups have since made treks covering the same route Shackleton and his two companions traversed. Both groups were rested, well nourished, equipped with the newest technology, and dumbfounded by what the Shackleton group accomplished.

People continue to try to explain how the team could make that type of hike under such conditions. I believe the explanation for their success lies in the heart and mindset of Shackleton. Ernest Shackleton had a singular focus and drive. He believed in his core that they could overcome the ordeal. It made all the di erence for the expedition.

We, like Shackleton, have an ability to do amazing things in the middle of unexpected struggles. It is very important, that as we as individuals work to overcome our struggles, we remember that we have everything we need to be successful.

Like Shackleton, with a focused heart and mind, you can traverse your mountain.

CRICKET

Many of these boys came to the U.S. within the past four years, after the Taliban returned to power in 2021. Some arrived in elementary school. Nearly half of Afghan evacuees who resettled in Colorado since that time attend Adams 12 Five Star schools. Adjusting from Afghanistan to the U.S. is especially challenging. e boys say it was hard coming to a new country, unable to communicate.

“I was so sad because nobody was talking Pashtu or Persian (Dari) and I can’t speak English,” sixth-grader Mohammad Edres remembers.

But the boys tell me, that when they learned there was cricket at ornton Middle School, it changed everything.

“Friends is there,” said seventh-grader Idres.

Atiqullah said it’s much better playing at school than in a random park.

“We have club!” He smiles.

How did a cricket club start at ornton Middle school?

When Charlene Fauls, an English development teacher, was at an educator book study session, she heard from one of the teachers that the boys were playing cricket on Sundays in a community park. at’s when she got into gear.

“I did not know anything about cricket,” she said. But a neighbor connected her to the president of the Colorado Cricket Tennis League. He donated some equipment and connected Fauls to the Den-

ver Youth Cricket Academy. It provides coaches. In 2022, a cricket club was born.  e district’s Adams 12 Cricket Program, in its third year, now has 54 players from three schools, including ornton High School and Northglenn Middle School. e high school team plays other teams in Douglas County and Cherry Creek school districts. Right now, the middle school teams scrimmage, but sometimes the kids get to ll empty holes on teams during Denver Youth Cricket Academy matches.

Omid Farahi, a school “newcomer assistant” said he hears the boys talking about cricket in the hallways all week long.

“Some of them actually say they wanted to come speci cally to this school because they had the opportunity to play cricket.”

It’s become a family e ort for Fauls. She and her husband help drive the boys to matches. Her sons assist. Still, Fauls is always on the lookout for generous sponsors to grow the program to more schools.

On Tuesdays, she sees the boys’ pride when they wear their uniforms to school.

“ ey walk around with their head held up high, just like the basketball players wear their uniform on game day,” she said.

Wickets, bails and stumps

At rst, cricket seems like controlled chaos to me, but the boys are super patient in explaining the game that dates back to the 13th century. ere are two teams. One side bats and the other “ elds” with someone throwing or “bowling” the ball. e batting team tries

to score as many runs — running back and forth between two wickets — as they can.

Two players are up at once running between the wickets at opposite ends of the pitch. If the batter hits the ball and it hits the ground before it passes the far cone, the team gets four points. If it sails through the air and lands past the cone (like a home run), the team gets six points.

Passions run high. Team captain Modasir presses volunteer coach, Selvam Mani, who drives more than an hour to the school each week when he has a different opinion about a point. Scoring is complicated as there are lots of ways besides runs to get points through “extras.”

As they play, the boys speak and yell in Pashtu or Dari, but sometimes English slips so I get more of a sense of what’s going on.

Some rules are too complicated for my rst game. ere are a zillion ways you can be dismissed or “out,” like if the wicketkeeper knocks a bail from a stump (the two small pieces of wood or plastic at the top of the stumps or vertical posts) before the batter returns after hitting the ball.

e bowler winds up. His elbow can’t straighten more than 15 degrees (I read that after the game). He runs a few steps propelling the ball forward. e bat cracks. e boys shriek, whoop and laugh. Sheer exhilaration is the only way to describe it.

Eighth-grader Bilal explains when I ask what makes the best cricket players so good.

“It’s all about your feeling, how you feel

about becoming a cricket player. Like you have a good feeling, you can be the best player.”

e boys struggle to nd the right words sometimes but after talking some more, Bilal means a high level of commitment, focus and passion for the game.

Middle school boys are middle school boys no matter where you were born It’s 37 degrees out on a recent Tuesday practice. Many aren’t wearing jackets.

“Where is your coat?” I ask Rashid. He ashes a sheepish grin.

“It’s at home. I didn’t wear it because when I coming on the bus, it was warm.” It’s mid-November, and it’s getting dark and hard to see the ball. But that doesn’t matter. As the light fades and his friends run around, sixth-grader Mohamed Edres, the student who described his sadness when he rst arrived as a newcomer in elementary school, tells me the club has helped shift his view of the school.

“School is like home,” he said. “Your teacher is like your mom, the principal is like your dad and the friends, they are … everybody is like your sister, brother.”

Club sponsor and teacher Fauls said that’s what makes cricket much more than a game.

“It’s just wonderful to have that community feeling here and to feel like you belong here and that you’re valued. To be able to do that for these kids warms my heart.”

41ST ANNUAL PARADE AT 2P.

Report: Housing crisis linked to billionaire investors

BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

Denver’s homeless population hit an all-time high in 2024 but there is actually no shortage of available housing units, according to a new report.

Omar Ocampo, researcher at the Institute for Policy Studies and the report’s co-author, said much of the housing built over the past two decades is not homes for people. ose units, many of which remain vacant, are being used by hedge funds and the wealthy as a safe and pro table place to park large sums of untaxed wealth.

“We have seen, over the past decade or so, a boom in luxury real estate,” Ocampo observed. “Basically, the only people who can a ord it are people who are ultrahigh net worth, or at the top of the income distribution.”

e report showed how corporations and wealthy investors from across the globe have amassed large tracts of single and multifamily residential units since the housing market crash in 2008. e scale of the purchases has put upward pressure on prices, causing rents to skyrocket and putting homeownership out of reach for millions.

ere are 16 million vacant homes across the U.S., which means there are 28 homes for every American experiencing homelessness.

Developers can apply for tax incentives to build a ordable housing but the pro t margins for luxury units are simply too large for all but nonpro t builders to re-

sist. Ocampo pointed to the Homes Act, recently introduced in the U.S. House, as one way to turn things around for the vast majority of Americans who cannot a ord what the marketplace is building.

“We need public investment and to establish a housing development authority, which authorizes hundreds of billions of dollars to develop permanently a ordable housing,” Ocampo contended

Corporations have also increased their earnings by converting rental stock into short-term vacation homes. Ocampo noted a shareholder report by executives at Blackstone, which now owns more than 300,000 residential units across the U.S., promising pro ts as rental stock went down.

“Chronic housing shortages meant their ability to raise prices and be able to extract more wealth from vulnerable workingclass tenants,” Ocampo added. is article comes from a sharing agreement with AP StoryShare.

DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT

THIS DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this ____ day of , 2024 (the “Effective Date”), between the CITY OF WESTMINSTER, whose address is 4800 West 92nd Avenue, Westminster, CO 80030 (the “City”), and _____________, whose address is (the “Developer”) (collectively, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, the Developer plans to construct, own, and operate a 228-unit, market rate and workforce apartment project (the “Project”) within

the Westminster Station Area located at 6935 North Federal Boulevard (“Station Area”) with 50% of the units serving families and individuals earning up to 80% of the Area Median Income (“AMI”); and

WHEREAS, the City desires to support the redevelopment of the Station Area through the addition of market rate and workforce housing to support a balanced housing approach within the Station Area; and

WHEREAS, the City wishes to provide assistance to aid in the development of the Project as it achieves several of the City’s Strategic Plan goals and objectives; and

WHEREAS, City Council finds the execution of the Agreement will provide benefit and advance the public interest and welfare of the City and its citizens by promoting the redevelopment of the Station Area.

In consideration of the mutual promises set forth below, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree to the following:

1. REBATES. The City agrees to rebate to the Developer certain fees paid by the Developer to the City, as set forth below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties agree that, with the exception of the Stipulated Use Tax (defined below), the fees and taxes paid and rebated in accordance herewith are estimates and may vary depending on construction costs and approved revisions to the Project. In the event the amount of any fee or tax below (not including the Stipulated Use Tax) changes, and the Developer is assessed and pays an amount different than the amount estimated herein, the City will rebate the actual amount paid, so long as the total amount rebated to the Developer hereunder does not exceed the combined total rebate amount set forth in section 2 below.

a. Public Land Dedication Fee. The City shall rebate to the Developer one hundred percent (100%) of the Public Land Dedication fee-in-lieu in the estimated amount of $1,906,883 paid to the City (the “PLD Rebate Amount”).

b. Building Permit and Review Fees. The City shall rebate to the Developer one hundred percent (100%) of the building permit and review fees paid as required under W.M.C. Section 11-9-3(E)(2) and E(4) for the construction of the Project (the Building Permit and Review Fees Rebate”). The Building Permit and Review Fees Rebate shall apply to all such building permit and review fees paid to the City during the Rebate Period (defined below) in connection with the Project whether paid directly by the Developer or by contractors or other third parties conducting work on the Project on behalf of the Developer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, construction use tax, water and sewer tap fees, fire permit fees, and any building permit and review fees related to construction undertaken pursuant to any Public Improvements Agreement (“PIA”) or Landscaping and Private Improvements Agreement (“LPIA”) for the Project are expressly excluded from the definition of “building permit and review fees” and will not be rebated as part of the Building Permit and Review Fees Rebate. The “Rebate Period” shall be the time period commencing on the Effective Date and ending (1) one year from Effective Date. Based on the Developer’s current construction estimates, the Building Permit and Review Fees Rebate will be approximately $356,684 (the “Building Permit and Review Fees Rebate Amount”).

c. Stipulated Use Tax Rebate - Construction.

i. The City shall rebate to the Developer one hundred percent (100%) of the estimated use tax due on construction materials (excluding the City’s 0.25% Open Space Tax and 0.6% Public Safety Tax) paid as a result of the construction of the Project, excluding construction undertaken pursuant to any PIA or LPIA related to the Project, as required under W.M.C. Sections 4-2-9 and 4-2-3 (the “Construction Use Tax”). The City, the Developer and the Developer’s general contractor have agreed to a specific Construction Use Tax amount of $1,068,375 (the “Stipulated Use Tax” or “SUT”), resulting in a Construction Use Tax rebate of $832,500 (the “SUT Rebate Amount”), further described in the Agreement Stipulating to Building Use Tax Payment and Waiver of Reconciliation Requirement, attached hereto as

Exhibit A (the “Stipulated Use Tax Agreement” or “SUTA”). Neither the Stipulated Use Tax nor the SUT Rebate Amount will be subject to review by the City or appeal by the Developer, or its general contractor or any subcontractor. The Developer agrees to hold the City harmless for any claims by its general contractor or any subcontractor for refund of any use taxes paid by the general contractor or subcontractor.

ii. In the event a fully executed SUTA is not received by the City, the Construction Materials Use Tax Rebate will be calculated on the actual amount of the Construction Use Tax due and paid to the City based upon an approved Construction Project Cost Report as required by Sections 4-1-7 and 4-2-9 of the Westminster Municipal Code.

d. Impact and Recovery Fees. The City shall rebate to the Developer one hundred percent (100%) of the $233,931 Drainage Impact Fee, the $662,384 Infrastructure Costs Recovery Fee, and the $657,261 Right-of-Way Costs Recovery Fee (collectively, the “Impact and Recovery Fees Rebate”). The aggregate amount of the Impact and Recovery Fees Rebate is $1,553,576 (the “Impact and Recovery Fees Rebate Amount”).

2. PAYMENT OF REBATES. The combined total of the PLD Rebate Amount, the Building Permit and Review Fees Rebate Amount, SUT Rebate Amount, and the Impact and Recovery Fees Rebate Amount shall not exceed $4,649,643.

a. Once both of the following have been accomplished, the City shall pay the SUT Rebate Amount within thirty (30) days after the end of the then-current calendar quarter:

i. the City has received the fully executed SUTA from the Developer; and

ii. the SUTA payment has been made to the City.

b. The PLD Rebate, Building Permit and Review Fees Rebate, SUT Rebate, and Impact and Recovery Fees Rebate payments shall be made no later than thirty (30) days following the end of the calendar quarter in which payment is received by the City, subject to and in accordance with subsection f of this section 2.

c. Notwithstanding subsections a and b of this section 2, no Rebate payment shall be made until the Developer has submitted to the City: (i) a completed, current W-9; (ii) a completed EDA request for information form as prescribed by the City; (iii) a waiver of confidentiality/release of records; and (iv) a Certificate of Good Standing from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office; and the Developer has obtained a City of Westminster Business License.

d. With the exception of the initial payment of Rebates, the City shall make all payments of Rebates electronically to the Developer’s designated financial institution or other account of the Developer. The initial Rebates payment will be issued by check and a pre-note confirmation sent to the Developer’s designated financial institution or other account of the Developer.

e. All payments made by the City pursuant to this Agreement shall be made to the Developer in the Developer’s name as set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement or, in the event the City has approved assignment in accordance with section 4(e), to such assignee, and to no other individual or entity.

f. Total quarterly rebate amounts must reach at least $1,000 before the City will make payment. Thus, if the total amount of a quarterly rebate is less than $1,000, payment of such rebate amount will be deferred to the following quarter. If the total amount of such following quarter’s rebate is still less than $1,000, payment of such rebate amounts will be deferred to the next following quarter. This process will continue until the total amount to be rebated is at least $1,000, at which point the accumulated amount of such rebates will be paid within thirty (30) days following the end of that calendar quarter.

3. SUSPENSION OF REBATE PAYMENTS; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. In the event the Developer fails to comply in any material respect with provisions of City regulations or code applicable to the development, use, occupancy or operation of the Project, the City may, after providing the Developer with not less than thirty (30) days

Section 4. The definition of “Mobile home” in Section 11-7-8(A), W.M.C., is hereby AMENDED to read as follows, with new language appearing with underlining and deleted language appearing in strikethrough:

Mobile home shall be defined as set forth in Section 11-2-1(A), W.M.C.mean any vehicle used, or so constructed as to permit it’s being used as a conveyance upon the public streets or highways and duly licensable as such and constructed in such a manner as will permit occupancy thereof as a dwelling or sleeping place for one or more persons within the same family.

advance written notice, suspend payment of the Rebates until the Developer complies with such City regulations or code provisions. This Agreement shall terminate and become void and of no force or effect at the election of the City should the Developer remain in non-compliance after having received such written notice and failed to cure, or diligently pursue a cure, within thirty (30) days of the written notice, unless such breach cannot be cured or remedied within thirty (30) days, in which case the period for remedy or cure shall be extended for a reasonable time (not to exceed an additional (30) days), provided the Developer has made and continues to make a diligent effort to effect such remedy or cure.

4. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

a. Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between the City and the Developer and supersedes any prior agreements between the Parties and their agents or representatives related to the same subject matter, all of which are merged into and revoked by this Agreement with respect to its subject matter.

b. Disclosure of Financial Information. Developer acknowledges that entering into this agreement could result in disclosure of Developer’s financial information, including confidential sales and use tax return information, to outside parties.

c. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the City’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement are subordinate to the City’s obligations for the repayment of any current or future bonded indebtedness and are contingent upon the existence of a surplus in sales and use tax revenues in excess of the sales and use tax revenues necessary to meet such existing or future bonded indebtedness. The City shall meet its obligations under this Agreement only after the City has satisfied all other obligations with respect to the use of sales tax revenues for bond repayment purposes. For the purposes of this Agreement, the terms “bonded indebtedness,” “bonds,” and similar terms describing the possible forms of indebtedness include all forms of indebtedness that may be incurred by the City, including but not limited to, general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, revenue anticipation notes, tax increment notes, tax increment bonds, certificates of participation and all other forms of contractual indebtedness of whatever nature that is in any way secured or collateralized by sales and use tax revenues of the City. The City reasonably believes, as of the date hereof, that sufficient sales and use tax reserves will exist to satisfy the City’s obligations hereunder. In the event the City is unable to timely provide a Rebate as provided hereunder by operation of this subsection b, or subsection below, the Developer may terminate this Agreement, at which point this Agreement will become null and void in all respects, and neither Party shall be liable hereunder to the other Party.

d. Annual Appropriation. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as creating a multiple fiscal year obligation on the part of the City within the meaning of Colorado Constitution Article X, Section 20, and the City’s obligations hereunder are expressly conditional upon annual appropriation by the City Council.

e. Assignment. Absent the prior written consent of the City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Developer shall not assign this Agreement or any interest hereunder, including any sales, transfers, or assignments to: (i) any successor in interest to the Developer’s business operations in connection with any merger, acquisition or similar transaction; or (ii) any purchaser of all or substantially all of the Developer’s assets, except that such consent shall not be required for sales, transfers, assignments or disposals to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate, or any person, firm or corporation, that shall Control, or be under common Control with, the Developer. Any sale, transfer or assignment of this Agreement will bind the successor in interest to the terms of this Agreement. As used in this subsection d, “Control” shall mean actual working control in whatever manner exercised. “Control” includes, but may not necessarily require, majority stock ownership.

f. Governing Law; Venue; Cost Shifting. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, the Westminster City Charter and the Westminster Municipal Code. In the event of a dispute concerning any provision of this Agreement, the Parties

Section 5. Section 11-4-6(B), W.M.C., is hereby AMENDED to read as follows, with new language appearing with underlining and deleted language appearing in strikethrough: (B) Occupancy of Dwelling Units: Occupancy of any dwelling unit shall be subject to the requirements of section 11-12-4, W.M.C., with the following exceptionsSubject to the provisions of Chapter 12 of Title XI, “Rental Property Maintenance Code,” W.M.C., no persons except the following persons shall occupy a dwelling unit (1) Members of a family, together with bona fide domestic employees of such family; or (2) Up to four unrelated persons; or (3) Two persons and any of either of their children by blood, marriage, adoption, or guardianship, including

INTRODUCED BY COUNCILLORS Ezeadi, Nurmela

A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE WESTMINSTER MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROVIDE FOR THE AUTHORIZATION AND REGULATION OF ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS WITHIN THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER

Whereas, the City conducted a Housing Needs Assessment that further identified Accessory Dwelling Units as an avenue to address the housing needs of residents; and

Whereas, Accessory Dwelling Units reduce the environmental impact of residential construction by using existing land and resources more efficiently; and

Whereas, the City Council finds and determines that authorizing and regulating Accessory Dwelling Units within the City of Westminster is in the best interests of the City’s residents.

THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER ORDAINS:

(L) Permits Required: No accessory dwelling unit shall be constructed without first obtaining all required building and utility permits.

(M) Variances: An applicant seeking relief from the strict application of this section may request a variance from the Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 2-2-8, W.M.C. Variances from the requirements of Section 11-4-19(J) Architectural Character shall be granted only if the Planning Commission finds that the request satisfies the singular criterion outlined in Section 2-2-8(B)(6), W.M.C., which states that the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is located.

(N) Certificate of Occupancy: A certificate of occupancy may be granted only to an accessory dwelling unit in compliance with this section and only after a certificate of occupancy has been granted to the principal dwelling unit on the same lot.

Section 5. This ordinance shall take effect

di erent ways to conserve, such as giving some medications intravenously, but without a dedicated IV uid bag, known as a push medication.

“You don’t even need a bag at all. You just give the medication without the bag,” he said. “ ere has been increasing literature over the last 10 to 20 years that indicates maybe you don’t need to use as much. And this accelerated our sort of innovation and testing of that idea.”

Monica Coleman is a nurse at a Department of Veterans A airs hospital in North Chicago. She said using push medications takes more time out of a nurse’s already hectic schedule because then they need to monitor the patient.

“ is could increase adverse e ects within the patient, because we’re giving the medication at a faster rate,” she said.

Elgawly is also interested in retooling electronic health records to question doctor orders for more IV hydration.

“Does the patient actually need that second bag? How did they do today with eating or drinking water or juice? ey did well? ey don’t need the bag. So it’s little conservation mechanisms like that that, when you add them across, you know, the 2,000-patient system that Inova is, make a signi cant dent,” he said.

Simpler conservation measures could become common after the shortage abates, said Vince Green, chief medical o cer for Pipeline Health, a small hospital system in the Los Angeles area that serves mainly people on Medicare and Medicaid.

First, Green would like to see data showing that patient outcomes aren’t a ected. But for now, some of the new strategies just make sense to him. He has directed hospital sta to use up the entire IV bag before starting another.

“If they come in with IV uids that the paramedics have started, let’s continue it. If it saves half a bag of uids, so be it, but it adds up over time,” he said.

Patients may be asked to take more accountability for their hydration, by drinking Gatorade or water rather than the default of hydrating through an IV, he said.

“From an environmental aspect, we don’t need to have this much waste and ll up our land lls. If we could reduce stu , I think it’d be wise,” he said.

But he’ll feel better when his hospitals receive a full order, which could be weeks away. Green said they are down to a two-week supply, with an expected increase in hospitalizations due to respiratory virus season.

“We’re purchasing every IV uid bag that we can get,” he said.
