Colorado

counted fewer start-ups this year

Research notes sharpest decrease in new businesses since 2005

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

A 21.7% dip in folks ling to start a business in Colorado during the second quarter was largely attributed to the end of a program more than a year ago that reduced ling fees to $1, according to the latest quarterly data from the Colorado Secretary of State’s O ce.

“It was the sharpest decrease yearover-year in the state (that) we’ve been tracking since 2005. at’s both in percentage terms and absolute numbers,” said Brian Lewandowski, executive director of University of Colorado’s Business Research Division, which analyzed the data for the Secretary of State’s O ce.  New business lings reached a second-quarter high last year at 54,940. e fee returned to $50 in June 2023 and now, one year later, lings dropped to 43,029 for the quarter. at’s still above prior years, including years before the pandemic.

Lewandowski called it “a normalization of activity because of that somewhat anomalous growth we experienced with that fee reduction a year ago,” he said during a recent news conference.

Buddy was part of a caged exhibit in a Des Moines, Iowa shopping mall for several years until he was rescued and taken to the Sanctuary to live out his life in peace, said founder Pat Craig. While in the mall, Buddy’s enclosure was among others that housed big cats as well as bears and more wildlife, Craig said. “It was awful, an absolute mess,” he said. “It was not a place for a wild animal like Buddy.”’

Buddy seems to appreciate his new home in the wide expanse of the sanctuary, about 25 miles east of Denver. “He can stay just around his den and enjoy the fresh air and natural environment,” Craig said. “I think he’s found his forever home here.”

Crematorium addition nixed by Adams Commissioners

Commissioners voted 5-0 that crematorium operation has no place in proposed Welby Plan

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Adams County Commissioners

Tuesday unanimously decided a funeral home crematorium is not a welcome addition to a largely industrial area that has long tried to change into homes, retail stores and community uses.

By a 5-0 vote, the commissioners turned down a request from A Better Place Funeral & Cremation Services, 7261 Washington St., to obtain a conditional use permit to add a crematorium at the rear of the business.

Commissioners agreed with county planners - and the county planning board - that although the area surrounding the business is largely encircled by warehouses and other in-

dustrial sites, a crematorium does not t with the Welby Plan.

e county envisioned a mixed-use development around South Welby that includes the funeral home. Plans call for o ces, indoor warehousing and technology-related uses, along with supporting retail and community facilities, according to a sta report prepared for the commissioners.

e Welby Plan also encourages residential opportunities near the area’s primary transit corridors, including I-270, I-76 and Washington Street.

“ is (the crematorium) could impact future development on the surrounding properties due to potential fumes or visual impacts associated with the conditional use,” the sta report states.

Compatibility, air concerns

Commissioner Eva Henry said incompatibility and worries over air quality problems generated by the crematorium, was enough to sway her to block the conditional use permit.

As the Real Estate Market Shifts, We’re in Uncharted Territory Thanks to NAR Settlement

Sunday was the deadline for one very significant change in the practice of real estate, as the result of a March 15th settlement between the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and a group of Missouri home sellers who claimed that the sharing of listing agent’s commission with the buyer’s agent was somehow a violation of anti-price fixing laws and just plain “unfair.”

Although I, along with most Realtors (and, in fact, NAR), disagreed, the parties agreed to a settlement in which MLSs may no longer display how much a buyer’s agent will earn if he brings a buyer to the table.

Real Estate, we’re not so worried. Below is a picture of the yard sign that in front of the solar-powered listing featured at the bottom of the page. Do you notice anything new about it? Yes, it has a sign rider telling both buyers and their agents that the seller will pay a 2.5% commission to an agent who represents the buyer of this home.

The brochure in the brochure box has that same information. You could say that “nothing has really changed,” and you’d be almost right. What has changed is that we are not “splitting” our listing commission with the buyer’s agent. Ra-

ther, the seller has agreed (at my suggestion) to incentivize agents to bring their buyer, knowing that their client will not have to pay him, because the seller will. The sellers who sued to end the practice of commission splitting will finally recognize that compensating the agent who represents their buyer is a practical way to sell a home. They had hoped that buyers would now have to pay for their own professional representation, but if, as I expect, the vast majority of home sellers agree to compete with each other for the buyer’s business, which home do you think the buyer will offer to buy?

That’s how I see these coming weeks

and months shaking out. Some sellers will say, “Hey, I don’t have to offer compensation,” and a few may succeed with that strategy. But one thing is for sure: the universe of potential buyers will be smaller, because a significant percentage of buyers can’t afford to pay for representation on top of the other fees I listed in last week’s column.

I do expect that many buyers will feel they should only deal with listing agents directly, but when they see our sign rider, they may do the right thing for themselves, which is to have a professional working in their best interest instead of the seller’s. Stay tuned!

MLS Now Has Fields for Audio & Video Recording

That change took place at midnight last Thursday and many real estate professionals are concerned about how it will affect them personally. At Golden

Do You Know or Care Where Your Realtor Stands Politically?

Real estate is not the only profession where the “rule” is never to talk politics or religion. I agree about religion, but in today’s divisive political climate, I feel differently about revealing my political leanings, which are liberal. As a seller, I would not be comfortable hiring an agent who was a Trump fan. Someone else may prefer hiring a fan of Trump.

Recently, a Denver agent referred a Golden seller to me. When I told him that his home would be advertised next to my weekly real estate column, he said, “I don’t read newspapers anymore because they’re all fake news.”

Okay, we’re not a fit — and that’s okay with me.

New: Solar-Powered Green Mountain Home

$795,000

The seller of this 3-bedroom/2½-bath home at 14038 W. Amherst Ave. provided this springtime picture of their crabapple tree in bloom. Not visible from the front is the seller-owned 5.98-kW solar array which reduces the Xcel monthly electric bill to under $10 year-round. The oversized garage has an extra 5'x18' workshop/storage area with natural light. The workbench, shop light and pegboards are all included. There’s another workshop area in the unfinished basement, plus a 10'x11' wood laminate dance floor! The cul-de-sac location makes this home a quiet place to enjoy life with friendly neighbors. The 8'x25' composite deck off the eat-in kitchen is half-covered, with stairs down to the backyard with its lush grass, garden beds and linden tree. The other half of the deck is shaded by the house itself in late afternoon. The 6'x8' front porch is also covered. Visit www.JeffcoSolarHomes.com to view a narrated video walk-through and drone video, plus magazine-quality photos and floor plans. The seller replaced the windows on the first floor and most of the second floor with high-end Marvin windows. The windows are energy efficient double-paned windows with aluminum clad wood frames. The frames are powder-coated white, requiring no routine maintenance. Come to the open house Saturday, 11-1, or call broker associate Kathy Jonke at 303-990-7428 to see it. Note: Seller offers 2.5% buyer broker compensation.

With surveillance systems becoming more and more common in American homes, buyers can never be sure that what they say to each other and their agent during a showing isn’t being monitored remotely by the seller.

Personally, I advise my buyers to assume that everything they say is being heard by the seller and to monitor their conversation accordingly. There are any number of things a buyer could say while

touring a home that would disadvantage them when it comes to negotiating a contract or inspection issues.

REcolorado, Denver’s MLS, now has fields for indicating whether there is audio and/or video recording inside and/or outside the listing, but buyers should not count on privacy if those fields are not checked. I recently sold a home where the fields weren’t checked but cameras (and Alexa) were definitely present.

Just Listed: 20-Acre Apple & Peach Orchard

Our former broker associate, Kim Taylor, is now an independent broker in Cedaredge and just listed this interesting agricultural property nearby. With 4.8 shares of surface creek water, the meticulously managed fruit is thriving again this year, and there is a leased rental house that was recently remodeled. The orchard contains blocks of apples and peaches and has been a successful producer for over 20 years. The property also has a 1500 sq. ft. cooler with loading dock, a tractor barn with electric, and two 30-amp electric and water hook ups for RVs. Located in the county, this agricultural property sits literally on the edge of Cedaredge city limits, only 1/2 mile from town center. Property taxes run less than $500/year. Come take a closer look! The Cedaredge area is a great location for the outdoor enthusiasts! Just 20 minutes away is the Grand Mesa, the largest flat top mesa in the country with over 300 lakes for fishing, lots of space for camping, hiking and biking, miles of groomed Nordic ski trails, Powderhorn Ski Resort, snowshoeing, and miles of snowmobiling — not to mention that the Gunnison River is only 15 minutes south, and the greater area is Colorado wine country, with an airport just 45 minutes away! Seller also has 10 more acres with blocks of apples, peaches and grapes that would make a great addition to this property.

WILD CATS

Activists used the backdrop of the Wildlife Sanctuary to celebrate the placement of Ballot Issue 91 on the November ballot. e wild cats at the Sanctuary – wildcats, cougars, tigers and lions – also illustrated the need for a law to protect wild felines from trophy hunters, activists said.

If passed, the initiative would ban recreational trophy hunting and commercial fur trapping of wild cats. Speci cally, voters will be asked to declare that “any trophy hunting of mountain lions, bobcats or lynx is inhumane, serves no socially acceptable or ecologically bene cial purpose, and fails to further public safety,,” according to proponents.

Cats Aren’t Trophies, the group

pushing the ban, said the proposed law only targets trophy shooting and wildlife trapping. It allows for the killing of any animal that is a danger to people, pets or farm and ranch animals.

Volunteers across the state started gathering the signatures for a petition to get the initiative on the ballot in March, said Samantha Miller, Cats Aren’t Trophies campaign manager. e group submitted 147,529 valid signatures, more than the 124,238 needed for a place on the ballot, she said.

In late July, the state certi ed the ballot question, she said. Most people who were approached for a signature had no idea Colorado allowed hunters to usually pay $8,000 to use packs of eight hunting dogs to tree and then run down a mountain lion so a hunter could shoot it and take the animal’s head for decoration and fur for a coat, Miller said.

A ranger found a mountain lion in a cottonwood tree in Garden of the Gods about 6 a.m. April 29, 2023. The adult mountain lion stayed in the tree all day, feet from unsuspecting hikers on Ute Trail and climbers in the Snake Pits, a popular bouldering section of the park, likely after feasting on a deer.

traps where they can remain for several days before a trapper comes onto them, and either shoots them or chokes them to death, Miller said.

“Colorado voters now have a chance to halt this inhumane and needless killing of mountain lions and bobcats for their heads and beautiful fur coats,” she said.

Trophy hunters often hire professional guides who use pack dogs for a “guaranteed kill,” Craig said. ey shoot between 500 and 600 mountain lions during a four-month season in Colorado. Of the 501 mountain lions killed for trophies and recreation last season alone, nearly half - 47% - were female and not one was reportedly in con ict with humans, Cats Aren’t Trophies o cials said.

Females often leave their kittens in a den for several days to nd food. When they are killed by trophy hunters, the kittens are often left to die because no one is there to care for them, Craig said.

“Trophy hunters go into the wilderness and shoot lions for fun yet want to claim they are targeting ‘problem’ lions. at is ction,” Craig said. “ at’s like saying they are going to solve crime by shooting into a crowd.”

Big game hunters, veterinarians and wildlife biologists also spoke at the Sanctuary last week, decrying trophy hunting as cruel and unnecessary.

“As a wildlife biologist, I can tell you that the science is clear that sport hunting of mountain lions is an ine ective means of mitigating human-lion conict,” said Mickey Pardo, who specializes in animal behavior and applied wildlife ecology, in a news release.

“If anything, sport hunting only

makes con ict worse by disproportionately removing older males and creating a vacuum that is lled by younger, inexperienced males who are more prone to con ict with humans and domesticated animals,” Pardo said.

Foes favor science-based management

Opponents of Prop 91 say that mountain lion hunting is important and that the hunting ban is bad for science-based wildlife management in Colorado, Bryan Jones of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, recently told the Colorado Sun.

“We will certainly talk about ballotbox wildlife initiatives and how they can be a negative for wildlife management in Colorado,” Jones told the Sun. He said he expects the opposition campaign will include the challenges that followed the introduction of wolves to the Western Slope this year.

Craig said the opposition to the measure is led by an “extremist group of hunters.”

Trophy hunters have decimated the lion population in Africa which has led antelopes and other hooved mammals the lions traditionally feed on, to explode in population.

“It’s led to an unhealthy environment with a huge population of animals starving to death,” he said.

Eying Craig and the group of reporters last week were African lions Cheddar and Tsylia, a brother and sister, who came to the Sanctuary from a zoo in war-torn Ukraine. Cheddar padded up and down the wide fence and kept an eye on the interlopers.

“He seems pretty content,” Craig said of Cheddar. “At least here he is safe.”

Council stays in house for new Westminster manager

Councilors will only consider internal applicants for the city’s top administrative job

BY MONTE WHALEY

Westminster City Councilors will not have to look very far in nding a new city manager.

Councilors this week said they would only consider candidates

from within the city’s ranks to ll the city manager’s chair.

Seeking out only internal candidates for the city’s top job ensures it will be done soon, Mayor Nancy McNally said.

“We are committed to make this appointment as quick as possible,” McNally said.

Councilors also said they wanted to maintain continuity among the city’s leadership.

“An internal process makes sense,”

Councilor David DeMott said. “We have a lot more stability and we have

a deep bench of leaders. We will be able to nd someone who is capable.”

Applicants will have until Aug. 26 to make a bid for the job, o cials said. e position will o er an annual pay range from $315,000-to $335,000.

Mark A. Freitag submitted his resignation as city manager on July 16, announcing his retirement after almost two years as the city’s administrative leader.

Deputy City Manager Jody Andrews has been serving in an interim capacity since Freitag’s departure.

START-UPS

e new-business decline, however, coincided with a higher number of companies delinquent in renewals or ling proper documents. e number of delinquencies is up by almost 91,000 from a year ago. Overall though, the state has more companies in good standing to 963,373, up 17,500 from a year ago.

“Colorado businesses are staying in business,” Secretary of State Jena Griswold said. But, she added, “ e cost of renewing a business just went up and that is because the state legislature two years ago passed increased reimbursements for county elections without funding it from the general fund.”

at means her o ce has to come up with extra funding, so it’s tapping business registration fees to support the reimbursements, the o ce said. Filing fees for a company’s periodic reports are $25. It’d been at $10 since 2006.

e quarterly report also pointed to positive data in a weaker economy. While Colorado’s job growth has slowed from last year, the number of new jobs added is up 1.4% through June and ranked near the middle of all U.S. states for job growth.

e number of job openings for every unemployed Coloradan is no longer two per unemployed worker, but dropped to 1.4. However, that’s better than the national ratio of 1.2 openings per unemployed worker. Colorado’s GDP also improved 2.3% between fourth quarter 2023 to rst quarter this year, ranking the state 18th nationwide.

But some other nancial data is con-

cerning, said Richard Wobbekind, faculty director of CU’s Leeds School of Business who works with Lewandowski. It’s about consumer spending slowing and their rising debt.

“We are seeing increased delinquencies on auto loans and credit cards at this particular point in time,” he said. “ ere seems to be a slowing of use of credit cards even by the higher income folks who still have excess savings and the wherewithal.”

Interest rates are still high and there’s still in ation. But ultimately, the two economists are not translating the indicators as signs that the economy is receding.

“Our o ce does not believe the U.S. is currently in a recession. We also don’t believe that one is imminent,” Lewandowski said. “Seeing GDP growth, seeing continued employment growth, albeit slow, seeing growth in income, seeing the labor force growth, seeing the in ation really moderate — all of this we think is good news and it doesn’t really signal that we’re on the precipice of a sharp downturn in economic activity.”

Westminster Council cautious of airport runo letter

Councilor wants Je co to help identify water problems from RMMA

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster City Councilors this week nixed sending a letter penned by a fellow councilor to Je erson County Commissioners asking for cooperation in detecting and containing contaminants allegedly streaming from Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport into local water supplies.

e letter from Councilor Amber Hott asks the commissioners to engage with the council in a “strategy of detection and containment of contaminates from RMMA.”

Hott, in her letter, notes the rapid expansion of the airport and that it lies about two nautical miles uphill from Standley Lake.

e lake is the primary water source for the nearly 300,000 residents of Westminster, ornton and Northglenn, Hott said.

“I believe it is the responsibility of the City Council to protect this precious resource,” Hott said.

She said she met with new airport director Erick Dahl and Je erson County Development and Transportation Director Abel Montoya. e three said that proactively dealing

with potential water contamination from the airport was the best method of protecting downstream water consumers.

“Mr. Dahl, Mr. Montoya and Councilor Hott agreed that methods of contaminant detection and containment at the site, rather than nding and removing them from water as it is deliv-

ered to thousands of residents, made the most sense,” Hott’s letter states.

‘Work with our partners’

Other Westminster councilors this week declined to sign the letter. Most said the letter should be reviewed by city staff members who could determine the vulnerability of

“…As a majority we want to work with our partners,” said Councilor David DeMott, who told Hott, “I fully support what you are trying to get at.”

“I still would like us to meet with new airport director and address our concerns,” DeMott said. “We have a very capable sta , and I would like to understand the sta ’s point of view.”

Hott said she was disappointed in the council’s reaction to her letter. “It was just a simple request on how (ofcials) plan on detecting a potential contamination and what kind of containment would be put in place,” Hott said.

Hott, in her letter, pointed to several potential contaminants from airport activities, including PFAS chemicals from re ghting activities, leaks from fuel tanks and leaching from runways contaminated with leaded aviation gas and other petroleum products, especially for the crosswind runway that is fast deteriorating.

Her letter also notes the potential contaminants from a plane painting operations and lead contamination from the exhaust of piston engine aircraft ying over Standley Lake. ere is no indication when the council will take up the issue of water contamination from RMMA.

Traveling tea room a comfort for grieiving grandmother

BY CARL KNAUF SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

July 2019 was Lisa Beltezore’s favorite month with her grandson, Alastor Avery.

A bittersweet layo gave her the uncertainty of a professional future but also the free time to play and bond with the family’s newest addition.

One month later, Alastor passed away.

“It was amazing to spend all that time with him, not knowing we were going

A cup of tea for community

to lose him,” Beltezore said as a choke interrupts the cadence of her memories.

“ ere are a lot of questions in your mind that you go through,” she said. “I couldn’t function for a good couple of years.”

Beltezore wears three charms around her neck as a constant reminder of her grandson. She ddles with them as her knuckles brush over the goosebumps on her collar that rise every time she mentions his name. A silver “A” and a little teapot dangle on both sides of a beautiful blue gem that matches the sparkling hue of her late grandson’s eyes.

Alastor is the inspiration behind Beltezore’s mobile tea room, Grammie’s Little Teapot.

A busy mind

e idea for the business was brewed after one of Alastor’s wellness checks indicated that he was short and stout when it came to percentiles. Beltezore shared that his stature became a warmhearted anecdote between grandmother and grandbaby. She would sing “I’m A Little Teapot” to him whenever he was upset. He had a handle on her heart as his giggles would jet through his smile.

en the unthinkable occurred: Alastor was 7 months old when he died from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

And then, after one of many re ective evenings, her business mind took over.

Grammie’s Little Teapot was born with the intention to provide comfort for all in need, including herself and the rest of Alastor’s family. Beltezore decided she could brand and sell tea “in his honor.”

“I developed an online presence, brought in some private labels, and I decided … I’m going to take this and help other people that are grieving,” she explained.

Grammie’s Little Teapot is operated by Beltezore and her partner in business and life, Caroline Shengle.

e couple has a history of developing products and businesses together, once o ering a pet product that garnered both local and national attention.

eir mobile tearoom is run out of a trailer they designed and built-out themselves. Beltezore and Shengle will park and lay down the ramp at various locations and farmer’s markets around Colorado, o ering a full tea bar and a variety of teas and accessories for customers to peruse and purchase, as well as a heartwarming story if curiosity is piqued.

“I love to tell (Alastor’s) story and reach out to people. ere’s been countless people that have said, `I lost a baby too’,” Beltezore explained. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the cause of SIDS or sudden unexpected infant death is still unknown, but it is a term used to describe the sudden death of a baby less than a year of age. e CDC reports that there is about 3,400 deaths each year in the United States in which SIDS is determined the cause. Accidental su ocation and strangulation in bed fall within this category, as well, accounting for 27% of related deaths as of 2020.

CUP OF TEA

“In the beginning, I didn’t want to know about anybody else’s pain or su ering. Nothing else mattered,” Beltezore shared. “Today, I’ve been able to turn that corner, get over that hump where I can look at other babies, I can hear about other’s story, they can tell me about their loss, because I can empathize with them and relate.” e tearoom has o ered some sort of relief through commemoration, connotation and community. e space is cozy and inviting as customers can nd products hanging on the walls of the tearoom along with a picture of Alastor.

Grammie’s Little teapot o ers a variety of loose-leaf teas and accessories. ey carry chai, black, green, white and herbal blends, along with gift and comfort items.

Tea has been used in its natural from for warmth and comfort, but there are a range of blends that tend to speci c needs found in body and mind. Beltezore harnessed the healing power of tea by coining “ e 7 Stages of Tea”, which correspond with the seven stages of grief: shock and denial, pain and guilt, anger and bargaining, depression, upward turn, reconstruction, and acceptance and hope.

“What I nd is that a lot of moms that have lost their children … they weren’t allowed to talk about it, or they were encouraged to shove it under the rug,” Beltezore said. “ ey give me a hug, and they’re like, ` ank you for allowing me to share my story.’” rough memory and meaning comes support, which is strong not only in the loyal tea community, but through grief itself. Grammie’s Little Teapot not only supports and o ers yearly donations to the American SIDS Institute, but also partners with the local community.

A bittersweet blend

Knot Forgotten is conveniently located on the main strip of Brighton, Colorado, tucked among a cluster of other local businesses. Not only do these local Brighton owners know each other, when one enters the other’s business, they also partake in uid conversation - the kind of chatter that is found between people who know each other well.

Owner and operator Tarynn Stewart has a background in woodworking and furniture restoration and, as a mother of six children, she started Knot Forgotten as a creative channel to not only continue her passion but form a space to showcase the local community. e business o ers a plethora of gifts and specialty items, most crafted in Colorado, and also hosts occasional events inside the shop - which include the presence of Grammie’s Little Teapot.

“ e fact that we connected was pretty amazing because it was total happenstance,” Beltezore said.

Beltezore has formed a strong relationship with Stewart, and not just through Stewart’s devotion to local vendors. ey share another bond through grief.

Beltezore said Stewart had reached out to her and asked if she would like to have her tea available at Knot Forgotten. After Stewart visited Grammie’s Little Teapot’s website and read Alastor’s story, she realized there was a deeper connection.

In March 2021, Stewart gave birth to her son, Elijah, at 21 weeks. He was stillborn.

“ at seemed like a magical force that kind of brought us together, in that sense, because she didn’t know, and here we are with similar stories of building a business around our loss and trying to … really build and support our community through our common struggles.”

ese are the connections that help drive support throughout various groups.

Steeped in support

One group located in Denver, An-

gel Eyes is a nonpro t that o ers grief support to families impacted by unexpected deaths of infants or toddlers under the age of 12 months, including pregnancy loss. e organization’s services include individual, peer and group counseling for adults and children.

Angel Eyes is able to provide its bereavement counseling and support at no cost for families in need through grants, gracious donations and sponsorships earned during its various annual events.

“A lot of families can’t pay for the counseling, so that’s where we come in,” said Laura Crowley, executive director of Angel Eyes. “And it doesn’t have to be low-income families that use our services.”

Crowley explained that Angel Eyes is there when individuals and families are desperate for counseling and obstacles such as nances and low availability a ect booking therapy. e sta is great at adjusting schedules in order to be there for people when it is needed the most.

Angel Eyes is sta ed with a trained social worker and counselor equipped to assist in the path of recovery for grieving families who have su ered the trauma of a devastating loss. Yet, professional guidance is not the only quali cation for support, some sta members, like Crowley, know rst-

hand what it is like to lose a child. Crowley lost her daughter, Terrah, to SIDS in 1994 and was contacted by then e Colorado SIDS Program immediately. She has been involved with the organization ever since, which is now Angel Eyes.

“I call it a grief journey because you never really reach the end,” Crowley said about her experience with tragedy. “I still cannot say my daughter’s name. I’ve tried in the past, and I can’t. I just get choked up and I can’t say it.”

Angel Eyes aims to bring awareness to unexpected child deaths with annual events such as its Angel Walk, Suds for SIDS, Claws For A Cause and On e Wings of Angels motorcycle poker run. ough through a tragic connotation, these occasions connect individuals and families in need and, with the help of the many volunteers who donate their time and energy, promote the notion that grief can be combatted. Partnering with businesses such as Grammie’s Little Teapot strengthens this connection and community.

“I wanted to get the community involved,” Crowley said. “We hope that they’re going to continue to support.”

Angel Eyes recently announced that its services will be expanding out of state, opening a second support center in Ohio.

“ is is not the vision we have for that community,” Henry said.

Owner Jennifer Connell told the commissioners that the crematorium was needed because her clients have to wait two three weeks to receive the ashes of departed loved ones from one of the area’s three existing crematoriums.

“Two weeks before someone can get their ashes…may not be a big deal to some,” Connell said. “But is a big deal for a lot of other people.”

Connell – who has operated at the site since 2018 – said she admits she and her employees work in a business that everyone wants to avoid using.

“It’s a taboo…no one wants to talk about,” Connell said. “But it’s a needed business.”

Many of her customers are lowincome mourners who cannot a ord most funeral home services. ey turn to her because she provides a ordable and digni ed help in a time of need, she said.

Connell said she is on track this year to handle an unprecedented 1,200 cases, with almost 20 percent coming from Social Service referrals. e business also contributes to food and toy

drives for local families and causes, she said.

“We have a moral and ethical responsibility to care for this community, both in life and death,” Connell told the commissioners. e crematorium, she added, “can give people peace of mind, so their loved one is not carted around the city.”

Connell and supporters of the crematorium assured the commissioners that all measures would be taken to keep tight environmental controls over the facility’s operations. ey noted that emissions from vehicles driving along the main roads near the business are producing most of the toxic air.

Compassionate service cited

Some supporters also wept about the compassionate services o ered by Connell and her sta .

“Jennifer works for those families that don’t have a lot of money…many are working paycheck-to-paycheck,”

Westminster Pastor David Baca told the commissioners. “I just don’t understand why something like this would not be approved.”

Some long-time residents, however, said the crematorium would mar what many have envisioned for the Welby corridor.

“ e concept of adding crematoriums in our area just doesn’t t,” said resident Norma Frank.

Westminster City Councilors have sent the plans for a November vote on creating council wards back to sta for more work.

e council rejected the con guration for a ward system although they had earlier favored it and had even gone so far as to have sta draft the ordinance.

It had called for keeping a sevenmember council using three wards with two council members from each ward and without any at-large representation (only Councilors Ireland, DeMott and Ozeadi favored that).

But after cussing and discussing a variety of other options, the council directed the City Attorney’s O ce to draft a new ordinance to be considered at an August 19 special council meeting.

e new con guration would call for an expansion of the city council to nine members, including the mayor. It would consist of three wards with two members each, and two at-large members plus the mayor.

ere would be staggered terms for both ward and at-large council members. Mayor McNally and Councilor Ireland both opposed that.

Historical backdrop

e current City Charter was written in 1958 when Westminster voters approved all six council members being elected at large. e mayor was elected from among the council.

Voters amended the City Charter in the 1990s, having the mayor would be elected at large by the people.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Vote to support big cats

VOICES

Ballot language for a wards system ballot question sidelined

CROSS CURRENTS

I support a citizen-led ballot initiative to end sport hunting of mountain lions and trapping of bobcats. is ballot measure ends mountain lion hunting as a form of “wildliferelated recreational opportunity” per state statute, leaving Colorado Parks and Wildlife at 100% capacity to continue managing predators that pose any threat to humans, pets or livestock.

However, expanding the city council to nine members could work against the public’s wishes.

City manager search limited to internal candidates

Bill Christopher

During the ensuing 66 years since that Charter was adopted, the Westminster community grew from a 1960 federal census of 13,850 to 116,317 per the 2020 federal census. Plus, during that same period, the geographic area expanded from 3-4 square miles to 31.5 square miles.

Starting in the early 1970’s, Westminster expanded from solely being in Westminster Public Schools District (previously Adams County School District 50) to land in both Je erson County R-1 School District and Adams 12 Five-Star School District.

Needless to say, Westminster changed dramatically during this time, but never changed how voters selected their city council representatives.

Over the years, di erent parts of Westminster have had di erent needs and issues. However, it rarely worked out that a council representative or two lived in the area where a problem existed. at means that no one on the council would know of the problem rsthand and be able to communicate with the residents as neighbors.

Nine members is not the answer

But now, councilors are aware of this issue and are willing to seek voter approval to achieve a better system of communication, awareness and representation. ey want something that is in tune with today’s Westminster.

I don’t think the Westminster public wants to expand the size of the City Council, but I do think they want wards. Forcing residents to choose either Ward councilors or a reasonablysized City Council is self-defeating You can’t have it both ways.

Keep a seven member city council, but include wards

Why add two additional council members in this e ort? Why add more cost to have elected representatives governed city a airs? Who thinks Westminster needs more council members to govern the city government? Who has been championing expanding the size of the city council?

e answer is no one has spoken up publicly. ere have not been any petition drives or numerous citizens speaking in favor of expanding the council at council meetings or Town Hall meetings. So, why expand the council?

e nine-member con guration could theoretically be abused by strong block voting having two ward reps in the same ward, plus the two atlarge councilors and the mayor create a ve-vote voting bloc.

So, what is most important to the public? e earlier con guration that city council directed the City Attorney’s O ce to draft is the best approach recognizing that there are no at-large council members included. Council needs to take what the public wants into consideration.

CPW is neutral on this initiative. It’s not a policymaking body and enforces laws that our Legislature or voters responsibly and legally pass.

e fact that 188,000 citizens signed the petition is a testament to how reasonable and responsible this measure is for Colorado. Using dogs to chase down native wildlife and baiting bobcats to sell their fur are unacceptable and unsporting acts against wildlife conservation principles.

I am a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and I believe in science, and the best science shows that lion sport hunters are creating con ict. ey target the largest, established males, opening the door to subadults that are the ones shown to go after pets, as they are ill-equipped to take down an elk many more times their size.

Mountain lions maintain the balance of nature, reducing dangerous car crashes with deer and elk. Lions

Westminster City Council also announced their search for a new city manager will be limited to internal candidates. e opening was to be posted August 19 and should close on August 26. e salary range will be $315,000-$335,000 annually.

Mayor McNally explained the council favors a time-sensitive approach while upholding the requirements and standards of the position. Council believes there are employees who meet these requirements is especially sensitive to the need for continuity, stability and organizational change.

While others will likely qualify and apply, current Interim City Manager Jody Andrews clearly meets or exceeds the city manager job description requirements and the intangible needed qualities. He is the best choice for the position.

Jody has been with the City of Westminster for ten years serving rst as Director of Public Works and Utilities and later promoted to Deputy City Manager. He served as Interim City Manager after Don Tripp left and is now serving in the same capacity since Mark Freitag resigned. Besides his Westminster management experience, he has extensive public works related experience including being in charge of building the light rail system in Vancouver, British Columbia in time for the Winter Olympics.

F’Waitress’ O ers a Musical Slice of Real Life

ew things in life are as satisfying as a good piece of pie, especially when you’re feeling blue. ere’s something about it that just feels warm and comforting.

at same energy is delightfully conjured in “Waitress,” the musical opener of the Arvada Center’s 2024/2025 season.

“It’s a musical about nding yourself, about friendships, about making mistakes and coming to terms with them,” said Anne Terze-Schwarz, who plays the lead character, Jenna. “It’s really a journey of hope that we’re taking audiences on and we want them to cry, laugh and feel something.”

Memory

Based on a lm of the same name, “Waitress” runs at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., from Friday, Aug. 30 through Sunday, Oct. 13. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Directed by Lynne Collins, featuring a book by Jessie Nelson, and music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles, the show follows Jenna, a waitress and top-notch pie-maker stuck in a small town and an unhappy marriage. When Jenna discovers she’s pregnant, she worries she really has no options left. But her friends, a baking contest and a handsome doctor show her there’s still sweetness left in life.

“ e show is very human and I love that Jenna is so real,” Terze-Schwarz said. “She’s just one of those people who is taking life day by day and trying to gure it out. She never loses her kindness and lets life inspire her while she’s guring out her next step. She gets a little lost, but her choices help her to nd herself in the end.”

e show is a true ensemble piece, Terze-Schwarz added, and thanks to Bareilles’ writing, audiences are constantly swept away by truly beautiful and moving music. Songs like “When He Sees Me” and “You Matter to Me” are sure to be audience favorites.

THE POWER OF MUSIC

Arvada nonprofit aims to create bridges through collaboration, exploration and fun for kids in the metro area

BY JANE REUTER

JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Studies on music’s bene ts repeatedly show its positive impact to mental and physical health. Research also shows it can build bridges.

Children who participate in group music activities exhibit more cooperation than kids who don’t, according to the journal “Evolution and Human Behavior.” Furthermore, researchers found children who regularly play music, sing and dance together can more easily empathize with others.

at’s something today’s world needs more of, believes ornton resident Dustin Olde, and that he hopes his music school can foster. A lifelong musician, Olde runs Colorado AMP (After-school Music Program), a low-cost, nonpro t kids’ music school in Arvada. e three-year-old business draws students from the heart of Denver and throughout the suburbs.   “Kids can take music lessons online anytime,” he said. “ e whole point is we want them in-person, working together. We’re trying to get people to get along. at’s where we as a society are struggling. How can we all get along and understand each other? e music is just the gateway, the language by which they communicate.”

His students’ words suggest Olde is having an impact.

“When I thought of music before, I really thought more about, this note is A or B,” said Westminster’s Cullan Wright, 13, who’d played French horn in his school band before enrolling at Colorado AMP. “Now I understand it’s more about chords, how di erent things meld together.

“Before when I was playing, I was only thinking about my part,” he continued. “I would use someone else as a cue to come in. But for the most part, I wasn’t listening to other kids.”

Olde also discovered the power of music while playing with his peers. As a teen at Littleton High School,

he experienced bene ts that went far beyond music’s immediate psychological rewards.

“At 15, I formed a band with some friends; that was a huge piece of what got me through high school,” Olde said. “ ose were my best friends, and the band was a fundamental part of my self-esteem. It gave me the con dence I needed to get through high school.”

ose bonds went so deep that 35 years later, Olde is still playing with one of his high school bandmates in the group Trouble Bound. e band recently played at Evergreen’s Aug. 3 Mountain Music Fest.

Olde was a college music major and early in his career, worked with at-risk kids as an AmeriCorps teacher. at experience sparked his interest in a music school open to children from families of all income levels.

“We were teaching anger and con ict management skills to kids,” said Olde, a father of two. “I learned that the time when kids get in the most trouble is between when school ends and when Mom and Dad get home from work. at’s the time I want kids to be doing something positive.”

Colorado AMP is designed for children ages 10 to 15 who love music. Skill level or family income is

not a factor. e school o ers sliding scale fees and full scholarships. Drawing kids from di erent backgrounds is key to ful lling Olde’s mission.

“My vision has always been that we’d have a kid from Sterling who likes country and one from Aurora who likes hip hop,” he said. “In real life, the two would never meet. But here, they hear one another’s music and play together. You start to understand somebody else’s perspective.

“It’s not hugely di erent from School of Rock,” he continued. “But our goal is to get to those kids who can’t a ord School of Rock.”

While Colorado AMP was intended to be primarily an after-school program and o ers individual lessons, specialty workshops and after-school programs, its summer music camps generate the highest turnout.

During the camps, kids practice in small groups for two weeks and then do a live performance. Students can choose to play guitar, bass guitar, drums, keyboards or sing. Olde typically contracts with teachers to instruct the summer programs.

MUSIC

Westminster parent Kerstin Wright’s two sons have gone to Colorado AMP’s summer camp for two years running.

“I was a little skeptical when we went the rst time that by the end of two weeks we’d be attending a concert with them playing these instruments,” she said. “My kids had never had any experience with playing a bass guitar, an electric guitar or drum set. I was astonished. It was such a huge fun surprise to see them up on stage that rst time.”

Not only did her sons learn to play the instruments, they created a band name and logo, and produced a promotional video.

“ ey just had some very cool and di erent experiences they’d never had anywhere else,” Wright said. “ ey met some new kids, and some really awesome adults who have a passion for music and kids. at was also a win.”

Cullan Wright said it’s changed the way he listens to music.

“Whenever I’m listening to a song now, I can hear the piano part or the bass part,” he said. “I really do appreciate how much time they have to put into everything.”

Eleven-year-old Cooper Wright also saw his musical world expand after the summer camps.

“It’s opened up some more music genres,” he said. “(Before) it was kinda like whatever is on for me. I knew about bands like Nirvana and Green Day. But once we played a Nirvana song, I really got into it. Now I think I listen for more genres than just whatever.”

Cooper played both drums and guitar during his two Colorado AMP summer camps.

“ ey’re really good at simplifying things to make it kid-friendly,” he said. “I like the other kids there, and just getting to play and learn new instruments is pretty fun.”

It’s been fun for their mother, too, who said she now hears them talking in the car in great detail about a song playing on the stereo.

“So much of what kids do nowadays is screenbased; I feel like they don’t get a lot of opportunity to get creative,” she said. “For me, it’s important to create those opportunities that are meaningful and interesting to them.”

Broom eld’s Linda Maurney and her son and daughter had a similar experience. Son Davis, 11, has done the summer music camp for three years.   Davis already owned a guitar but before Colorado AMP, he said he barely touched it.

“Now I’ve learned new things and it’s more fun to play guitar,” he said. “It really helped me practice.”

Davis said his favorite moment at each camp is the nal performance.

“It’s fun to play on a stage,” he said. “You come together as a band, and it’s fun to see how you sound.”

Linda Maurney said she’s watched her children’s musical con dence grow with each camp experience.

“My son’s talking about starting his own band,” she

said. “He brought two of his friends to camp, and now they do it together. ey’re engaged with other kids, for a common purpose. ey’re listening to and reading music, trying to gure it out. You can almost see that their brains are more activated.”

So far this summer, about 60 students have participated in Colorado AMP’s summer camps. While this basic formula’s been a winner, Olde is experimenting with alternative ideas, too. Earlier this year, the school hosted a Taylor Swift workshop, a four-Saturday program in which students learned and performed three Swift hits.

As the program has evolved, so too have its participants.

“ is year I had a student who was missing a hand,” Olde said. “In that same camp, I had a kid with a speech disability. We’ve had kids with autism. …I think a lot of kids on the spectrum gravitate toward music. ey can nd their voice through it. So that’s been cool.”

For Olde, the best moment of any program comes at the end — when students take everything they’ve learned and showcase it to friends and family.

“ at last day of camp when they do their performance is my favorite,” he said. “We try to have as polished a performance as we can. at sometimes means we as teachers are in there playing with them. We want them to think, ‘Whoa, this sounds really good.’ ey feel so proud of themselves. Everything’s worth it for that day.”

Students rehearse at Colorado AMP during a summer music camp. They include Julian Luby from Wheatridge on piano, Anya Beneski (wearing glasses) from Wheatridge on vocals, Molly Roman from Lakewood on vocals, Isaac Press from Lakewood on bass, and Khalil Foster from Arvada on guitar.

Expert tips on where to start, breaking misconceptions and more

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Perhaps a more captivating piece of evidence that humans truly descended from apes is our natural inclination to climb. We see something big and we want to conquer it, stand on top of it and say that we did. From ascending neighborhood trees as children to summiting mountains when searching for ourselves in our 20s, something about reaching the top is awe-inspiring.

A big misconception about rock climbing, according to a local expert, is that it’s much more di cult than hiking — not everyone can do it, or it’s too hard, requires experience, etc. But Golden Mountain Guides founder and owner Ben Coryell said that is “totally false.”

Coryell also is a chief guide; something he’s been passionate about since he opened the company’s doors in 2016.

“Everybody comes into climbing with a preconceived notion with what they’ve seen recently with Net ix movies, like the Alex Honnold movie (‘Free Solo’) or some of the older Hollywood ones like ‘Clihanger’ with Stallone or “ e Eiger Sanction.’” Coryell said. “And it’s really a beginner-friendly activity. ere are routes that can be catered towards any skill no matter where you’re at as an absolute beginner to have been climbing for 30 years.”

He describes Golden Mountain Guides as a “holistic mountain guiding company.” at means guided hiking, mountaineering, rock climbing, ice climbing, backcountry ski tours and more. ere are also classes for beginner climbers, self-rescue classes, wilderness rst-aid and avalanche education.  After working in the business

be daunted’: Why climbing in Colorado is for everyone

along the Front Range for years, Coryell said he was fed up with bad business ethics and not following proper legal and safety procedures through other companies. His wife encouraged him to go out on his own.

“So, I picked up one permit and I picked up a small insurance premium, and the rst six months of being open I took out 192 di erent trips myself. ree trips to the mountains a day,” he said. “I pretty quickly hired somebody after that. You could say I underestimated the current market need for it. It’s just been pretty steady growth since then.”

Now it’s a steady in ux of people wanting more of the outdoors. Coryell said roughly 30% of his customers are rst-time climbers or hikers. e other 70% are people focused on learning or getting better, whether they’re breaking ground on previously daunting or di cult routes or taking an avalanche safety class.

But climbing intimidates people, Coryell said. ey build it up in their head and feel it’s more intimidating than it has to be.

“I think there are misconceptions about how strong you have to be to do it. It’s de nitely not an arm activity; it can be if you do it the wrong way. But it’s all legs. So I think people come into it with kind of this misconceived notion of what it really is,” he said. “It can be mentally challenging, physically challenging, emotionally challenging … but I think that’s our job as professional guides to help mitigate some of those struggles that people are inherently going to face when rock climbing.”

It’s also a very niche sport that people might not be exposed to as often as hiking or jogging. But with familiarity comes comfort, he said.

It’s also very expensive, which can be a barrier to entry for some people, like with skiing or snowboarding.

From rock climbing to ice climbing, Golden Mountain Guides provides an opportunity for first-

CLIMBING

“Climbing equipment is expensive, to say the least. But it’s expensive for a reason because our life is worth every penny of it,” Coryell said. “For people who are rst starting out, it can feel overwhelming. It can feel daunting. And it does get easier as we start to learn more about how to move our body, about how to trust the gear, about how to build anchors and tie knots. So, it does get easier.”

Coryell believes climbing is for everyone. It’s one of the more human things you can do, he said, and it’s a unique way to experience nature and learn about oneself.

“I think that climbing is the vehicle for equity,” he said. “ e climbing community is very open. We’re all very vulnerable when we’re out there. Everybody ts together within kind of the tribe of the climbing culture. People are very encouraging and very open. Overall, it’s a very welcoming community.”

Colorado Community Media: On guided climbs, do you take beginners to easier mountains to climb or just easier routes on those mountains?

Coryell:North Table Mountain just out the window here is kind of the classic example. It’s one big solid cli band and there’s routes ranging from beginner all the way up to advanced, all next to one another. at being

Looking for the right “fit”

ere are a number of factors involved when a city council evaluates candidates. ere are the obvious credential-related aspects, which include education, work experience, major work accomplishments and management progression. ese cover nancial management, personnel management, project management, communication, critical thinking and delegation. en, there are intangible factors

said, our job as professional guides is to read the room and see where people are at. Oftentimes we don’t follow what the guidebook says. We kind of tell the guidebook where the routes are because we have the technical skills and the knowledge to be able to facilitate that.

CCM: What’s an example of needing to abandon the guidebook in favor of your expertise?

Coryell:For example, oftentimes ‘beginner climbs’ aren’t truly beginner climbs. ey might be a little bit too hard for folks. With all of our guides, we undergo rigorous training so that we can look at that piece of terrain and put them on something even easier than the easiest thing that the guidebook says. Because nobody wants to feel defeated … Climbing should be fun and you should feel successful at the end of the day.

CCM: Aside from the packing list you provide, what should people bring to a guided rock climbing outing?

Coryell: I think the big thing folks should show up with is a willingness to learn, a willingness to be vulnerable because climbing makes us inherently vulnerable. We’re not programmed as humans to be hanging on the side of a cli . In terms of gear, we can provide all that for folks. In terms of personal gear or personal kit, just the willingness to learn how to take care of yourself in the outdoors in a medium you might not have ever been in. When we climb, we tend to exert a little bit more mental energy. So oftentimes having little creature comforts, like chocolate bars or a thermos full of warm tea, can

Coryell: Every person learns at their own speed. Some of us are kinesthetic learners. Some of us are auditory or visual learners. I think it really boils down to the person. ere are a lot of things that could potentially go wrong in climbing. I think having that foundation in terms of knots, in terms of movement, in terms of technical skills such as belaying and anchoring. I think those are the foundations that need to be solidi ed before folks start to branch out on their own.  Visit www.goldenmountainguides. com for more information.

such as management style, political sensitivity, exibility, “ t” with city council, personality and being “thick skinned.” e city manager must keep the city council informed and seek their direction when appropriate. e latter is more of an art than a science for sure.

e city manager is the pivot between the council and the sta . It is incumbent upon a manager to maintain a timely ow of communications both ways, carry out the council’s priorities using delegation, adjusting work priorities as conditions change (sometimes daily), being accessible to the public, being comfortable in the “spotlight” and much, much more.

Trust is essential in any organization. It certainly is relevant in city government with its politically charged environment.

Each council member and mayor plus the collective group have their expectations, needs and desires as it relates to being an elected o cial.

e city manager better know these, understand them -whether they agree with the individual or not- and monitor them on an ongoing basis.

At the same time, there are similar dynamics with the sta , ongoing process as well.

e city manager’s door should be open to employees as well as council, the public, developers and others do-

ing business with the city. e job is not for everyone. A good manager needs to have re in their belly for public service and believe in the tenets of public administration. Don’t expect to know it all. Be comfortable in relying on your sta . Expect the sta to be respectful of the city council whether you agree with them or not on a given issue. ey are the elected leadership of the city government.

The District intends to fully consume the exchanged water, and subject to the terms and conditions in the 01CW258 Decree, the exchanged water may be used to extinction for the uses described herein either directly or after diversion or re-diversion to storage. CLAIM FOR FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE AND TO MAKE ABSOLUTE 5. Outline of work and expenditures during the diligence period towards completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use: The District provides water and wastewater services to nearly 68,000 customers in Commerce City and Adams County. The District maintains a diverse portfolio of water rights – both conditional and absolute – in order to provide potable and non-potable water to its present and future customers. The conditional ground water rights for the SACWSD Alluvial Wells and the SACWSD 01CW258 Exchanges (collectively the “Subject Conditional Water Rights”) are integral to the District’s overall water supply system, and the District has during the diligence period and will continue to pursue development and beneficial use of these water rights as growth continues and water demands increase within District. The diligence period for the Subject Conditional Water Rights is July 30, 2018 through July 31, 2024 (“Diligence Period”). The District’s 2020 Water System Master Plan anticipates that, at build out, the District will require a municipal water supply of 35,259 acre-feet of water per year To meet this demand, the District has and will continue to construct and put into production the SACWSD Alluvial Wells. At present, the District has completed and put into production Wells 31, 35, 81, 82, 84, 85 and 91 in the Northeast Well Field; Wells 83, 86, 93, and 94 in the Northwest Well Field; Wells 83, 86, 93 and 94 in the Northwest Well Field; and Well 88 in the Southwest Well Field. Well 89 in the Northeast Well Field and Well 96 in the Northwest Well Field have been drilled and are permitted as monitoring wells, and will be put into production when necessary The SACWSD Alluvial Wells are included in the District’s plan for augmentation, as decreed in Consolidated Cases Nos. W-8440-76 and W-8517-77 and subsequent Case Nos. W-8440-76A-D, and as expanded in Cases Nos. 1997CW353, 2000CW102, 2001CW258 (“01CW258 Decree”), 2005CW115 (“05CW115 Decree”), 2006CW285 (“06CW285 Decree”), 2007CW303, 2010CW304, and 2015CW3177, and pending Case Nos. 2022CW3063, 23CW3068, and 23CW3089. The SACWSD 01CW258 Exchanges, in conjunction with the operation of the District’s plan for augmentation, are and will be used by the District to augment stream depletions associated with the SACWSD Alluvial Wells or to exchange the District’s fully consumable water associated with certain sources of substitute supply into storage for use within the District’s municipal system and/or for subsequent release for augmentation purposes. The Subject Conditional Water Rights are part of the District’s integrated water supply system to supply water for municipal purposes. “When a project or integrated system is comprised of several features, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown on the development of the water rights for all features of the entire project or system.” C.R.S. §37-92 301(4)(b). Consequently, all work and expenditures by the District in connection with its municipal water system directly and indirectly constitute part of the District’s reasonable diligence in developing the Subject Conditional Water Rights. During the Diligence Period, the District has engaged in the following activities and incurred the following costs in its efforts to develop, operate and maintain its municipal water supply system and develop the Subject Conditional Water Rights, to complete the appropriation, and place the water to beneficial use: 5.1 The District has incurred an average of approximately $5.4 million per year in general costs and expenses in support of its municipal water supply system and for maintaining, protecting and expanding its system. 5.2 Over the Diligence Period, the District has incurred an average of $4.2 million per year in engineering fees for engineering work in support of its municipal supply system generally, and has incurred additional engineering fees each year associated with specific capital improvement projects. 5.3 On average during the Diligence Period, the District spent approximately $28 million per year on capital improvement projects associated with its municipal supply system including without limitation: (a) completion of a water transmission main from Wells 21, 47, and 88 to the District’s Klein Water Treatment Facility; and (b) construction of a state-of-the-art water softening plat at the District’s Klein Water Treatment Facility. The District has an ongoing water distribution and main rehabilitation program and is currently constructing a state-of-the-art ion exchange treatment facility at the District’s Klein Water Treatment Facility. 5.4 The District incurred a total of $1.4 million in engineering fees associated with maintenance of its existing water supplies, including but not limited to such activities as accounting for the District’s water use, operation of and accounting for the District’s plan for augmentation, protecting the District’s water rights from injury by opposing water court applications, and assisting the District with daily water operations. 5.5 The District paid $1,440,323.00 in legal fees to obtain decrees for water rights that are part of the District’s integrated water system and for participating as an opposer in various Water Court cases to protect the District’s water rights against injury from other water users. 5.6 The District completed a comprehensive Water System Master Plan in 2011, which includes planning specific to the SACWSD Alluvial Wells. South Adams has spent $715,000 on updating its Water System Master Plan during the Diligence Period. 5.7 The District has and continues to work with the City of Commerce City on planning, growth projections and water supply demand projections, as the District’s service area is primarily within the City’s boundaries. In addition to in-house staff time at the District, the District incurred $0.75 million in consultants’ fees for planning-related work during the Diligence Period. 6. Claim to make all or portions of the ground water rights decreed to the SACWSD Alluvial Wells absolute: The District has completed its appropriation of a portion or all of the remaining conditional ground water rights associated with certain of the SACWSD Alluvial Wells, by pumping water from a well and delivering the water to beneficial use within its municipal system. The District seeks to make the remaining conditional ground water rights decreed

to the SACWSD Alluvial Wells absolute in the amounts and at the rates described in the table below:

*Wells may have pumped at the claimed maximum pumping rate on numerous occasions. As part of this Application, the District may provide evidence that the

rate was achieved on the date identified in this Application or on another date.

7. Total annual well pumping from all SACWSD Alluvial Wells: In 2021, the District pumped a total annual volume of 3,544.3 acre-feet from all SACWSD Alluvial Wells. In Case No. 16CW3116 the District made absolute 2,828.6 acre-feet of the 30,190 acre-foot total annual volumetric limit originally decreed in Case No. 01CW258 for all of the SACWSD Alluvial Wells (“01CW258 Maximum Annual SACWSD Alluvial Well Pumping Limit”) leaving 27,361.4 acre-feet of the 01CW258 Maximum Annual SACWSD Alluvial Well Pumping Limit as conditional. Accordingly, this application seeks to make an additional 715.7 acre-feet of the 01CW258 Maximum Annual SACWSD Alluvial Well Pumping Limit absolute. 8. Diversion of water rights while application is pending: The District will continue to divert the water rights decreed to the SACWSD Alluvial Wells while this Application is pending. Accordingly, as part of this Application, the District may seek to make absolute additional portions of the conditional water rights decreed to the SACWSD Alluvial Wells without the need to amend this Application to the extent the District diverts rates and volumes in excess of the rates and volumes described above during the pendency of this Application. 9. Names and addresses of owners or reputed owners of the land upon

to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: 9.1 Wattenberg Reservoir: City of Westminster, c/o Director of Public Works, 4800 West 92nd Avenue, Westminster, CO 80030. 9.2 Joint Denver Gravel Pit Lakes: The City and County of Denver, acting by and through its Board of Water Commissioners, 1600 West 12th Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80204. WHEREFORE, the District respectfully requests that the Court enter a decree making the Subject Conditional Water Rights absolute, as described above, and/or finding that the District has proceeded with reasonable diligence toward the completion of the appropriation of the Subject Conditional Water Rights, and continuing in full force and effect for an additional diligence period the portions of the Subject Conditional Water Rights that remain conditional.

THE WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED BY THESE APPLICATIONS MAY AFFECT IN PRIORITY ANY WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED OR HERETOFORE ADJUDICATED WITHIN THIS DIVISION AND OWNERS OF AFFECTED RIGHTS MUST APPEAR TO OBJECT WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR BE FOREVER BARRED.

Public Notice

U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

PUBLIC NOTICE

PURPOSE OF PUBLIC NOTICE

The purpose of this notice is to advise all interested parties of City of Northglenn’s – National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit Number CO-0036757 request to modify its Industrial Pretreatment Program. The request for program approval includes:

Modification

Update of the local limits incorporated in Section 16-15-7(c)(2) of the municipal ordinance. In addition, the ordinance was updated to provide minor corrections to bring the program in compliance with the Federal Pretreatment Regulations and to incorporate new standards and specifications for hydromechanical grease interceptors. In addition to the local limits update and ordinance update, the city updated and revised its enforcement response plan to closely align with the municipal code.

This program approval affects the industrial users that discharge to the City of Northglenn’s publicly owned treatment works (POTW). An industrial user is any user that discharges non-domestic wastewater to the POTW.

The EPA has determined this approval to be “substantial” for purposes of the General Pretreatment Regulations at 40 CFR Section 403.18. Therefore, the EPA is providing this notice to afford interested persons the opportunity to provide comments on the Pretreatment program modification submitted by the City of Northglenn and the EPA’s intent to approve the modification.

This shall be the only public notice if the EPA determines that no substantial comments are received and the modification to the Pretreatment program will be approved as submitted, provided the documents submitted to the EPA are adopted, ratified, and otherwise made final and effective by the City of Northglenn. Upon approval, this Pretreatment program modification shall be incorporated into the NPDES permit and is a minor modification of the NPDES permit as specified in 40 CFR Section 122.63(g). The EPA intends to approve all changes that reflect direct Federal authority as shown at 40 CFR Part 403.

SUMMARY INFORMATION

The federal Clean Water Act established the NPDES permit program to regulate the discharge of pollutants by persons to waters of the United States. In addition, the Act established toxic pollutant and pretreatment standards and

requirements for Industrial Users (sources of non-domestic indirect discharge) of POTWs. The implementing regulations may be found at 40 CFR Part 403. POTWs with either a design flow greater than five million gallons per day, significant industrial user contributions, or otherwise designated by the NPDES program director, must actively regulate their industrial users and assure compliance by these users with all applicable federal and local Pretreatment Standards and requirements. The requirement for a POTW to properly implement its program is an enforceable provision of its NPDES permit.

FURTHER INFORMATION AND COMMENTS

Persons wishing to review the program modification documents submitted by the City of Northglenn may contact Al Garcia at (303) 312-6382 or garcia.al@epa.gov.

Comments must be directed to Al Garcia at garcia.al@epa.gov using subject line “CO-0036757 Public Comment”. If you cannot adequately address comments via email, please reach out to Mr. Garcia at (303) 312-6382 to discuss alternative arrangements.

Public Notice

NOTICE OF INTENT TO UNDERTAKE CERTAIN ACTIONS WILLOW BEND METROPOLITAN DISTRICT CITY OF THORNTON, COLORADO

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Willow Bend Metropolitan District, a special district in the City of Thornton, Adams County, Colorado (the “District”), intends to undertake certain actions pertaining to the issuance of debt. This notice is being given pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(b), Colorado Revised Statutes.

In general, the District intends to issue debt in one or more series for the purpose of refunding or refinancing its currently outstanding debt obligations (consisting of the Series 2019 Bonds described below) at a lower net effective interest rate (the “Proposed 2024 Bonds”), notwithstanding any limitations in the Service Plan for Willow Bend Metropolitan District approved by the City of Thornton City Council on August 27, 2013, as amended by a First Amendment to Service Plan for Willow Bend Metropolitan District approved by the City of Thornton City Council on February 27, 2018 (collectively, the “Service Plan”).

The District’s current outstanding debt consists of its Limited Tax (Convertible to Unlimited Tax) General Obligation Refunding and Improvement Bonds, Series 2019A; Subordinate Limited Tax

Public Notices

General Obligation Bonds, Series 2019B; and Taxable Junior Lien Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, Series 2019C (collectively, “Series 2019 Bonds”), originally issued in the aggregate par amount of $22,000,000.

Section V.A.16 of the Service Plan provides, “Total Debt Issuance Limitation. The District shall not issue Debt in excess of Twenty-Two Million Dollars ($22,000,000).” It is not clear from this language if refunding outstanding debt counts against the Total Debt Issuance Limitation of $22,000,000, and therefore, the issuance of the Proposed 2024 Loan may or may not constitute a departure from the Service Plan.

In order to address any questions under the Service Plan, the District has determined to provide this notice pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(b), Colorado Revised Statues, prior to the issuance of the Proposed 2024 Bonds.

Pursuant to Colorado law, any action to enjoin the above-described activities as a material departure from the Service Plan must be brought within forty-five (45) days from publication of this notice, which date is October 7, 2024.

This notice is dated August 22, 2024.

The Subject Conditional Water Rights are integral to South Adams’ overall water supply system, and during the Diligence Period, South Adams has and will continue to pursue development and beneficial use of these water rights as growth continues and water demands increase within the District. South Adams provides water and wastewater services to more than 68,000 customers in Commerce City and Adams County. South Adams maintains a diverse portfolio of water rights – both conditional and absolute – in order to provide potable and non-potable water to its present and future customers. The Subject Conditional Water Rights are part of South Adams’ integrated water supply system to supply water for municipal purposes. “When a project or integrated system is comprised of several features, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown on the development of the water rights for all features of the entire project or system.” C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4) (b). Consequently, all work and expenditures by South Adams in connection with its municipal water system directly and indirectly constitute part of South Adams’ reasonable diligence in developing the Subject Conditional Water Rights. The Subject Conditional Water Rights, in conjunction with the operation of South Adams’ plan for augmentation, will be used by South Adams to augment stream depletions or to exchange South Adams’ fully consumable water associated with certain sources of substitute supply into storage for use within South Adams’ municipal system and/or for subsequent release for augmentation purposes. During the Diligence Period, South Adams worked to develop the Subject Conditional Water Rights, complete the appropriations, and place the water to beneficial use, as demonstrated by the following representative but nonexhaustive list of activities and expenditures. 4.1 South Adams participated in regular meetings with Todd Creek Village Metropolitan District and Adams County regarding Mann Lakes Reservoir. The discussion topics included: (a) design and rehabilitation of the storage cells; (b) design and construction of the interconnect pipelines; and (c) design and construction of the inlet and outlet infrastructure. 4.2 Mann Lakes Reservoir is a major component of South Adams’ water system. It is included in South Adams’ master plan and ongoing water system operations model, which is utilized by South Adams for its augmentation plan planning. 4.3 South Adams has incurred an average of approximately $5.4 million per year in general costs and expenses in support of its municipal water supply system and for maintaining, protecting, and expanding this system. 4.4 Over the Diligence Period, South Adams has incurred an average of $4.2 million per year in engineering fees for engineering work in support of its municipal supply system generally, and has incurred additional engineering fees each year associated with specific capital improvement projects. 4.5 On average during the Diligence Period, South Adams spent approximately $28 million per year on capital improvement projects associated with its municipal supply system including without limitation: (a) completion of a water transmission main from Wells 21, 47, and 88 to South Adams’ Klein Treatment Facility; and (b) construction of a state-of-the-art water softening plant at South Adams’ Klein Water Treatment Facility. South Adams has an ongoing water distribution and main rehabilitation program and is currently constructing a state-of-the-art ion exchange treatment facility at South Adams’ Klein Water Treatment Facility. 4.6 South Adams incurred a total of $1.4 million in engineering fees associated with maintenance of its existing water supplies, including but not limited to such activities as accounting for South Adams’ water use, operation of and accounting for South Adams’ plan for augmentation, protecting South Adams’ water rights from injury by opposing water court applications, and assisting South Adams with daily water operations. 4.7 South Adams paid $1,440,323.00 in legal fees to obtain decrees for water rights that are part of South Adams’ inte-

grated water system and for participating as an opposer in various Water Court cases to protect South Adams’ water rights against injury from other water users. 4.8 South Adams completed a comprehensive Water System Master Plan in 2020. South Adams has spent $715,000 on updating its Water System Master Plan during the Diligence Period. 4.9 South Adams has and continues to work with the City of Commerce City on planning, growth projections, and water supply demand projections, as South Adams’ service area is primarily within the City’s boundaries. In addition to in-house staff time at South Adams, South Adams incurred $0.75 million in consultants’ fees for water supply planning-related work during the Diligence Period. 5. Names and addresses of owner(s) of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored: 5.1 Mann Lakes South Platte River Diversion and Mann Lakes Reservoir: Adams County, 9755 Henderson Road, Brighton, Colorado 80601. 5.2 Wattenberg Reservoir: City of Westminster, c/o Director of Public Works, 4800 West 92nd Avenue, Westminster, CO 80030. 5.3 North Reservoir Complex: The City and County of Denver, acting by and through its Board of Water Commissioners, 1600 West 12th Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80204. 5.4 South Platte Diversion I: City of Westminster, 4800 West 92nd Avenue, Westminster, Colorado 80030. WHEREFORE, South Adams respectfully requests that the Court enter a decree (i) granting this application; (ii) finding that South Adams has exercised reasonable diligence in completing the appropriation of the Subject Conditional Water Rights during the Diligence Period; and (iii) continuing the Subject Conditional Water Rights in full force and effect for an additional diligence period.

Point of substitution will be the confluence of Big Dry Creek and the South Platte River, located in the NW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 7, Township 1 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P. M. 3.2. Exchange Reach: The reach of the stream system over which this exchange will operate includes the South Platte River from its confluence with Big Dry Creek, thence upstream on the South

Platte River to the confluence with Clear Creek, thence upstream on Clear Creek and its tributaries to the points of diversion identified above, the furthest upstream of which is the headgate of the Farmers High Line Canal located as described in paragraph 3.1.1. Under the Brighton Ditch 2016 Exchange, Westminster’s interest in the Brighton Ditch changed in Case No. 16CW3186 is carried through the Brighton Ditch and released to Big Dry Creek at several augmentation structures. The locations of the augmentation structures on the Brighton Ditch are as follows: The Leon South Augmentation Station and the Leon North Augmentation Station are located in the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 13, Township 1 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., and the proposed Rosenbrock Augmentation Station is located in the NW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 13, Township 1 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M.

Westminster may also store the exchanged water in storage structures that can be filled from the ditches identified in paragraph 3.1, above, including, but not limited to Standley Lake, Jim Baker Reservoir, and the West Gravel Lakes. 3.6. Source of water diverted by exchange: Clear Creek and Ralston Creek. 4. Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application to a beneficial use: 4.1. Prior to and during the diligence period, Westminster leased its interests in the Brighton Ditch changed in Case No. 16CW3186 to Aggregate Industries (“AI”), who beneficially used the water on a temporary basis related to its gravel operations. During the term of the lease to AI, the City arranged a license agreement with the City of Aurora (“Aurora”) which allowed AI’s use of certain Aurora owned Brighton Ditch augmentation structures. The term of Westminster’s lease with AI expired during the diligence period and Westminster is now working to incorporate the Brighton Ditch interests into its municipal water supply system. One component of said system is Wattenberg Lake which will be located adjacent to the Brighton Ditch near Wattenberg, Colorado, and will be a place of storage of Westminster’s Brighton Ditch interests. 4.2. Wattenberg Lake remains under construction, and is not yet entirely completed and operational. Wattenberg Lake will be lined gravel lake storage located on lands owned by Westminster. The owner of the mineral interests associated with said lands is Aggregate Industries (“AI”). Pursuant to a Storage Facility Agreement, AI is conducting gravel mining activities on the property and will ultimately deliver lined gravel lake storage to Westminster upon completion of its mining activities. AI’s mining activities on the property are ongoing. During the diligence period, however, Westminster took delivery of the first phase of lined storage associated with Wattenberg Lake. Closing occurred in late December of 2019 at which time Westminster took title to approximately 2,500 acre feet of the initial storage amount associated with Wattenberg Lake. At closing, Westminster made a payment to Aggregate Industries in excess of $4.5 million dollars. Work on the second phase of lined storage is ongoing and has occurred during the diligence period. As of the date of this application, AI has completed the first cell of lined storage as discussed above and delivered the first cell to Westminster. Design work on inlet and outlet components is ongoing. Westminster has incurred significant expenses related to this project during the diligence period. 4.3. Westminster is the owner of a storage account at the West Gravel Lakes. Westminster has incurred expenses during the diligence period associated with its storage account at the West Gravel Lakes, including but not limited to expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of its storage account and the Lower Clear Creek/ Colorado Agricultural ditches as well as pumping costs associated with the operation of the storage account. Water diverted pursuant to the Brighton

Ditch 2016 Exchange can be exchanged to the Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural ditches and reduced to storage in West Gravel Lakes. Costs associated with West Grael Lakes have been incurred during the diligence period. 4.4. During the diligence period, Westminster continued to operate under the carriage agreement with the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company for the use of excess capacity in the Farmers’ High Line Canal. This agreement allows Westminster to carry additional water through the Farmers’ High Line Canal, including water exchanged to the Farmers’ High Line Canal in accordance with the decree in Case No. 16CW3186. Westminster is contractually obligated to pay an annual fee for use of the Farmers’ High Line Canal. Similarly, Westminster holds carriage agreements with the Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural ditches, the Kershaw Ditch, the Manhart Ditch and the Croke Canal. Costs associated with these various carriage agreements and ditches, including operations and maintenance costs, have been incurred during the diligence period. 4.5. During the diligence period, Westminster has also paid funds in the form of ditch assessments to the Brighton Ditch Company, the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company, FRICO, the Manhart Ditch Company and the Kershaw Ditch Company. Said funds have been used, in part, to maintain the ditches necessary for operation of the conditional exchange. 4.6. The Brighton Ditch 2016 Exchange as adjudicated in Case No. 16CW3186, is part of Westminster’s Clear Creek Water Supply System, an integrated system under § 37-92301(4)(b), C.R.S. During the diligence period, Westminster has continued the development of its Clear Creek Water Supply System. Activities have included, among other things: prosecuting Water Court applications to incorporate purchased Clear Creek water interests into the City’s Water Supply System; exercising conditional exchanges and making portions absolute or obtaining diligence decrees on the remaining conditional portions; ongoing costs and expenses related to completion of Wattenberg Reservoir; and, participation in numerous Water Court cases for purposes of protecting, maintaining and developing Westminster’s Water Supply System. Expenses associated with these activities were incurred during the diligence period. 4.7. During the diligence period, Westminster has participated in a number of water court proceedings in an effort, in part, to protect and maintain return flows to Big Dry Creek and the Clear Creek and South Platte River basins. Costs associated with these efforts were incurred during the diligence period. 5. Water applied to beneficial use: N/A. Westminster is claiming diligence only in this matter. 6. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: The relevant diversion and storage structures associated with the Brighton Ditch 2016 Exchange are all existing structures and do not need modification in order to operate said exchange. On information and belief the augmentation structures identified in paragraph 3.2, above, are owned by the City of Aurora, Colorado, a municipal corporation of the counties of Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas, acting by and through its Utility Enterprise, whose address is 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy., Suite 3600 Aurora, CO 80012-1555. WHEREFORE, Westminster requests the Court to enter its decree and ruling as follows: To make a finding of reasonable diligence with respect to the Brighton Ditch 2016 Exchange, and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence.
