King me. I can solve the immigration problem and get you safely to work each day

D

espite the Sentinel, other news media and an army of passionate believers working feverishly to preserve this democracy thing, everyone wishes they could be king, or queen.

Yeah, sure, liberals and conservatives alike are losing sleep over whether our amazing American experiment comes to a dead end with this surreal Donald Trump thing. Seriously, there are millions of people in the United States who say they might vote for someone so visibly and admittedly depraved that few,if anyone, would trust him with family, friends or money.

But if I could be king for a while, instead of bothering with this Colorado General Assembly thing again?

Hellzyeah. You know you would, too.

And if you were an omnipotent king or queen, what would be your first edict?

No, besides free peanut M&M dispensers in every public building.

King Dave Day One: Jobs for Immigrants There are a lot of immigrants from Venezuela and El Salvador where I live. I mean hundreds. And hundreds.

They have a lot in common. They often speak little or no English.

They’re incredibly patient. They just want to work. They came here to work. Let them work.

If I were king, I would create a guest worker system that registered immigrants and refugees as they applied to stay in the United States.

Within a day or two, you get a biometric U.S. immigrant ID, a worker permit and a worker tax number to pay income taxes. Now, go get a job. There are tens of thousands of businesses in Colorado aching for a hard-working labor pool, not just willing, but anxious to get to work.

If you want to hire one of these amazing and loyal employees, you must use their biometric ID to ensure they qualify for a worker permit. If you hire them without that, and you get caught, it’s a $500,000 fine against your business, for each employee.

Here’s the thing, lots of conservatives give lip service to closing the border and sending home every undocumented immigrant that ICE can rustle up. But they, or someone they know, or someone they voted for, supports the vast pool of illegally hired immigrants.

The problem is so bad in the metro area that police have had to jump in because unscrupulous people “hire” these immigrants, work them, and then stiff them when it’s time to pay.

Or just as bad, business owners look the other way when immigrants use falsified credentials. Cheap labor adds lots of dollars to the bottom line. If we make it nearly impossible to hire anyone without a permit, no one would stay here unless they have one.

Despite the rich delusion that millions of immigrants are flocking here for a free Obama phone, in reality, they just want jobs.

Give them jobs. Grow the economy by letting businesses flourish and by ensuring immigrant workers pay income tax dollars just like everyone else. While it would be practical and beneficial for everyone to allow for those with worker permits to eventually become citizens, allowing first for legal worker status — just like we have done with sea-

sonal agricultural workers for generations — is where we need to start.

King Dave Day Two: Hire enough traffic cops to stop the asshats I’m done with risking my life twice everyday to get on the Denver-Aurora Autobahn of Death and hoping today is not the day.

I am now and always have been a lead-footed driver. I’m a good driver. No really. I’ve, miraculously, never been in a car accident. When I was in high school, we pretty much had to take driver’s ed to get any or affordable insurance. Most of the class was about defensive driving. I got it.

What I didn’t get was the part about always obeying the speed limit.

So if I’m in the left lane on I-70 between Limon and that big, flat state to the east, and the car in front of me is doing 85 mph, I am too. And if there is no car in front of me? Same thing.

In town, when it’s clear and nice and me and my bud in front of me are doing 70-ish through the Valley Highway, it’s all good.

I’m not a pursed-lips rule Nazi.

But what I see every, single day on the road, going to and coming from work, is terrifying and sickening, even for a guy who cruises in the dark.

When I’m doing 70 in the middle lane and the guy coming up behind me passes in fractions of a second as he weaves around me and five other cars — driving a 2009 Dodge Ram pickup pushed up about 6 inches higher than God ever intended it to be — then I’ve got a problem.

When I encounter five or six of these schlemiels every, single day, both going to and coming from work, then we all have a problem.

What is freaking wrong with these dolts? And why is it that everyone else feels like they’re going to lose years off their life or their paycheck just by letting you merge onto the highway or change lanes? And does no one teach people anymore that the signal indicator on the steering wheel is not an optional device? Are there no longer state and local laws against failure to signal?

Why, yes it is: “Failure to Use Turn Signal is a Class A Traffic Infraction and a conviction will result in a scheduled fine of $15.00 to $100.00 plus court costs and surcharges, with an assessment of 2 points to your driver’s license,” according to DenverTrafficLaw.com.

The problem in all of this, is that there are never, ever any cops patrolling the highways anymore. So everyone without good sense, any morals or a frontal lobe knows they are free to do what science and good sense tells the rest of us to knock it off.

As king, I would install a huge crop of hi-resolution cameras all over the highways that would 1. Immediately send a robo-ticket to the idiot speed-weavers, and 2. Alert an army of highway patrol officers waiting at every exit and entrance ramp to pull over these morons. Reckless driving tickets would be payable only in community service, working for a newspaper.

Then, I would simply abdicate, and find something new to complain about until I get to be King for Day, or two, next year.

The videos and data revealed the cause of Elijah McClain’s death

W

hen it comes to how police accosted Elijah McClain, assaulted him and prompted his death, neither the city’s numbers nor your own eyes lie.

Last week, former Aurora police officer Randy Roedema was sentenced to 14 months in jail after being convicted in November of criminally negligent homicide.

The conviction was hard won. The sentence was incongruous to the crime committed by Roedema.

Two other officers who helped attack McClain were acquitted. Two fire department medics who came at the end of the police assault on McClain, and overdosed him with a deadly injection of ketamine, were convicted last month and await sentencing.

McClain was a 26-year-old Black man who was walking home on a summer night after going for cans of iced tea at a nearby convenience store. He was wearing a runner’s mask, and a motorist passing by called 911 to report that McClain was doing nothing wrong but appeared suspicious.

Roedema rolled up first, aggressively accosting and then subduing McClain. Two other officers showed up, attacking McClain, eventually mortally injuring him with chokeholds and drugs.

During the trials and sentencing, lawyers for police tried to paint the 140-pound McClain as a raging behemoth, warranting the level of assault police inflicted.

Anyone who’s watched the police body cam video of the attack can unequivocally see that McClain is surprised and shocked when Roedema jumps from his police car and charges toward him, for no reason.

He’s clearly petrified as Roedema turns on the tough-cop act and tries to bully McClain, who is flustered and scared.

McClain had just been handed the nightmare of almost every Black man in America: being charged by an aggressive armed cop for no reason.

The rolling body cameras captured every shocking, frightening and heart-breaking minute of Roedema’s assault and the events that led to McClain’s death.

Roedema’s defenders argued that he was a nice man who worked hard to help others outside of the police department.

It’s probably true.

But the numbers about Aurora police officers like Roedema don’t lie.

Among police departments in the four largest cities in Colorado, only Aurora officers use force against Black residents more than any other racial or ethnic group, according to analyses by Aurora and state officials, completed in 2020.

Aurora police consistently used force against Black people more than their white or Hispanic counterparts from 2017 through 2019, according to the 2020 analysis.

The data revealed that police in Aurora have used pepper spray, dogs, Tasers and other injurious methods on Black people 75 more times than on whites in 2017, 148 more times in 2018 and 132 more times in 2019.

The disparities are even wider between Black and Hispanic residents subjected to force at the hands of police.

The stark and shocking numbers, and the equally unnerving and unyielding camera videos of the attack on McClain, don’t contradict Roedema’s supporters about his behavior outside of uniform.

The evidence all of Aurora saw and heard during the trial and during the past few years — as the state’s attorney general imposed a consent decree on Aurora in an effort to end the systemic abuse of people of color — paint a clear picture. The Aurora Police department has employed officers who either cannot fathom or control irrational racism and subsequent abuse of people of color. Or officers on the force recognize their own racist behavior and indulge it. Or some officers are ill equipped and not trained to recognize their own prejudices and irrational assumptions and address them as they interact with minorities.

We agree with police lawyers who insist that had paramedics not overdosed McClain as he lay nearly comatose from being choked and assaulted by police, he might have survived the attack.

But there is no doubt that had Roedema, and subsequent responding officers, simply asked McClain questions as they would have an elderly white man or young white woman, he would have gotten home alive and unharmed with his cans of iced tea in a plastic convenience store bag.

Aurora is currently working to prevent more abuse of Black people officers encounter, and they hope to rebuild the public’s trust.

A good place to start would be for police officials to accept and admit the lessons learned through the past four months of McClain trials, and explain, in detail, what has changed since McClain was killed, and what will change to ensure it never happens again.

GUEST COLUMN BY MAYORS JOHNSTON, MOBOLADE AND COFFMAN

The need for expanded mental health care services is critical

A

s mayors with varying political affiliations representing the three largest cities in our state, we—Mayors Johnston, Mobolade, and Coffman—share a key priority: addressing the shortage of adequate mental health services in Colorado. The problem lies at the center of many challenges we face, from homelessness to public safety; only by solving it can we build a thriving, resilient community.

We are encouraged by the Governor’s demonstration of his commitment to mental health in his 2024–25 Budget Request. With the 2024 legislative session set to begin, we ask our elected representatives to take decisive action in the following areas to bolster mental health support in our state.

Public Safety – Inpatient Beds and Facilities According to a recent report, “civil inpatient capacity remains precariously low throughout Colorado.” First responders, providers, and members of the community frequently find that there are simply no inpatient beds for individuals with serious and persistent mental illnesses. Tragically, many of those individuals end up either on our streets or in the criminal justice system—where we can all agree they don’t belong. The lack of inpatient bed capacity creates a ripple effect, cascading into and exacerbating issues within public safety, homelessness, and healthcare. In addition, this creates a burden to the taxpayers of Colorado by a federal consent decree that requires the state hospital to pay $12 million annually in fines for failing to meet a series of timeframes for providing competency evaluations and restoration services.

What’s needed is a historic investment in more inpatient beds and additional inpatient facilities. With only one state-run psychiatric hospital, Colorado has fewer than 600 public beds, less than the number of additional beds needed in the Denver area alone.

Community-Based Mental Health Programs Equally important to resolving our state’s mental health crisis is adding more options for community-based residential treatment. These facilities play a vital role as a necessary step-down from inpatient care, offering a transition from hospitalization to a more independent living environment.

The legislature recognized as much two years ago, when it invested in mental health residential facilities with the goal of adding 125 beds. That investment was a start, but more help is needed. Our cities need additional funding for community-based programs to provide those with serious and persistent mental illnesses the supportive care they need to live stably in our communities. The appropriation of dedicated funding to further expand and support existing facilities and the creation of additional designated facilities such as 24/7 walk-in crisis centers is imperative to alleviate the system strain seen across emergency services and to improve the quality of life for all who reside in the state of Colorado.

We would also like to see an increased investment in the RISE (Restoring Individuals Safely and Effectively) Program. The RISE Program embraces recovery-oriented, trauma-informed care for all patients. We encourage the state to fully fund this program to ensure all bedspaces are available.

We applaud the current investments that are being made by local and state government, however we recognize that these will require ongoing commitments and investments into the future. On behalf of our over 1.5 million residents, we thank you for listening and encouraging our state to act on this important issue.

Sincerely, Mayor Mike Johnston, Denver Mayor Mike Coffman, Aurora Mayor Yemi Mobolade, Colorado Springs

‘Bully with a badge’

FORMER AURORA COP GETS 14 MONTHS IN JAIL IN DEATH OF ELIJAH MCCLAIN, AVOIDS PRISON SENTENCE

BY COLLEEN SLEVIN AND MEAD GRUVER Associated Press

Colorado ex-police officer Randy Roedema speaks on his behalf during sentencing at the Adams County Court, Friday, Jan. 5, 2024, in Brighton, Colorado.

Roedema was convicted of killing Elijah McClain, a young Black man walking home from a store.

ABC News One/ Pool via AP

A

judge sentenced an ex-Aurora police officer to 14 months in jail for his role in the death of Elijah McClain after hearing the young Black man’s mother call the officer a “bully with a badge” who will always have blood on his hands.

The officer, Randy Roedema, was the most senior law enforcement member to initially respond to the scene and the only one found guilty. A jury convicted him in October of criminally-negligent homicide, which is a felony, and third-degree assault, which is a misdemeanor.

He was sentenced Jan. 5.

The 23-year-old’s killing on Aug. 24, 2019, received little attention at the time but gained renewed interest the following year as mass protests swept the nation over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. McClain’s death became a rallying cry for critics of racial injustice in policing.

In a separate trial, two paramedics were recently convicted for injecting McClain with an overdose of the sedative ketamine after police put him in a neck hold. Sentencing for the paramedics will come in March.

Before Judge Mark Warner handed down the sentence, McClain’s mother, Sheneen McClain, raged against Roedema after he expressed remorse but stopped short of apologizing.

“Randy Roedema stole my son’s life,” she said.

“All the belated apologies in the world can’t remove my son’s blood from Randy Roedema’s hands.”

Protecting the community was “the furthest thing from his mind” the night her son was

stopped walking home from the store, she said.

She hugged a supporter and wiped tears as she sat back down.

Senior Assistant Attorney General Jason Slothouber described how, in the last minutes of McClain’s life, he struggled to breathe through vomit yet still faced violence from Roedema who picked him up, slammed him down, and dug his knee into his back.

The lack of compassion was all the more startling, Slothouber said, after he read all 76 letters friends, relatives and associates wrote in Roedema’s support.

“I don’t know why that compassion and that care that his friends and his family, the people who served with him, talk about, was not there for Elijah McClain. But it clearly wasn’t,” Slothouber said.

Roedema also spoke at the hearing, as well as his sister and former military colleagues. Roedema was a U.S. Marine who was wounded in Iraq.

“I want the McClain family to know the sadness I feel about Elijah being gone. He was young,” Roedema said.

Roedema said he wished the initial 911 call that reported McClain looking suspicious that night had never been made. But he didn’t comment about anything he could have done differently.

“We all responded to that incident in a way that we were all trained to do. Needless to say, the situation had a horrible outcome that nobody intended or wanted to happen,” Roedema said.

Roedema’s sister, Kayleine Roedema, talked about how he helps her care for their mother “without hesitation” and continues to be a “big

brother” who is relied upon by their whole family.

“It hurts me because I know him and I know better. He’s a loving husband and father, son and brother, cousin and friend. It’s so hard for me to imagine how it could be beneficial for him to serve time in jail,” Kayleine Roedema said.

Roedema’s lawyer Don Sisson declined to comment on the sentence as he left court with Roedema and his wife. A deputy escorted them to their cars.

McClain was stopped by police after a 911 caller reported that he looked suspicious. Another officer put his hands on McClain within seconds, beginning a struggle and restraint that lasted about 20 minutes before paramedics injected him with the ketamine.

Experts say the sedative ultimately killed McClain, who was already weakened from struggling to breathe while being pinned down after inhaling vomit into his lungs.

Roedema helped hold McClain down while paramedics administered the ketamine. He was often visible in the body camera footage shown over and over to jurors, and he could be heard directing others how to restrain him.

“I don’t think anybody who’s been involved in this case can unsee what was on the videos or what was depicted on those videos,” Warner said before sentencing Roedema.

Warner, who said he was shocked by what appeared to be indifference to McClain’s suffering after he was handcuffed, could have sentenced Roedema to up to three years in prison for his fel›› See BULLY, 5

ony conviction but chose instead to give him four years of parole and for the felony and a jail sentence for the misdemeanor.

Warner said that would lead to Roedema being behind bars longer since he would likely be paroled after about a year if he was sent to state prison. He also could have been eligible to be sent to a halfway house before that too, under prison rules.

The sentencing includes the option of work release. He must report to jail by March 22.

Sheneen McClain called the sentence afterward “a slap on the

Colfax and Peoria to reopen near charred Aurora apartment complex in coming days Aurora firefighters reported Jan. 4 that Colfax Avenue and Peoria Street will start to reopen “within the next week” near the scorched remains of a partially-built apartment complex that is in the process of being torn down.

Aurora Fire Rescue spokeswoman Dawn Small said in an email that the investigation into the cause and origin of the Dec. 16 fire which claimed the complex is proceeding sporadically, as the agency uses drones and robots to examine parts of the structure that still pose a risk of collapsing on human investigators.

At the same time, Aurora Fire Rescue is working with a wrecking company to clear debris and meticulously knock down what remains of the building, allowing firefighters to explore farther into the site.

“Investigators are digging into the rubble and going through the structure as they do with other fires,” Small wrote. “However, there are areas that are unstable and unsafe due to the extensive nature of the fire and damage from water used to extinguish the fire.”

The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ Denver division is also assisting with the investigation. ATF spokeswoman Crystal McCoy wrote in an email that the bureau has dispatched special agents trained in investigating arson and other fire-related crimes to help Aurora firefighters determine how the fire started. The bureau is also able to provide laboratory testing.

“The fact that we respond to a scene doesn’t mean we are taking over,” McCoy wrote. “It really demonstrates a strong partnership that is already in place and allows us to provide federal resources.”

Shortly after responding to a report of a fire at the north Aurora construction site, Aurora firefighters were forced to call for help from as far away as Bennett and Watkins as flames engulfed all five floors of the complex.

Small said the fire smoldered for four days — by that time, it had achieved the infamous distinction of being the largest single fire in the agency’s history in terms of its duration, the amount of equipment used to fight it and the value of the property that was damaged.

wrist.” Roedema’s attorney has said he will appeal the conviction.

The same jury that convicted Roedema acquitted former officer Jason Rosenblatt, whose lawyers stressed that he wasn’t close to McClain when the ketamine was injected.

A different jury acquitted officer Nathan Woodyard a few weeks later, after he testified that he put McClain in a neck hold, briefly rendering him unconscious.

Woodyard testified that he feared for his life after Roedema said McClain had grabbed for one of their guns. Prosecutors say the gun grab never happened.

Aurora Fire Rescue paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichu-

Small said the fire destroyed more than $150 million worth of property and described the complex as a “100% loss.”

Since Dec. 16, traffic has been routed around the site. As of Friday, both directions of Colfax between Moline Street and Peoria were completely closed, as were both directions of Peoria between 14th and 17th avenues.

“The roads are closed out of an abundance of caution for the community’s safety because of the building’s high collapse hazard and during the demolition process,” Small wrote in an email.

“Crews will continue to work into the coming weekend to complete this process as quickly as possible to minimize disruption for the community and local businesses. It is anticipated that roadways will begin to reopen within the next week, coordinating with the Aurora Police Department and Aurora Public Works to monitor and manage traffic.”

Until the roadways reopen, the city recommends that drivers use Sixth Avenue, 14th Avenue, 17th Avenue, Fitzsimons Parkway, Potomac Avenue and Moline Street as detours.

Regarding the three-alarm fire that tore through an Aurora construction site on South Addison Court a few days before the Colfax and Peoria fire, Small said the former fire is still being investigated as a potential crime but that the agency “does not believe a connection exists” between the two.

Cichuniec, the senior officer, was found guilty of the most serious charge faced by any of the first responders: felony second-degree assault. It carries a prison sentence of between five and 16 years in prison.

Though tragic, Elijah McClain’s death has brought about positive changes in Colorado, including laws barring police from directing ketamine to be used, requiring first responders to intervene if they see someone put in danger by other first responders, and requiring police to wear body cameras, Slothouber said.

“Elijah McClain’s life mattered,” he said.

began his career in public policy by advocating on behalf of HIV and AIDS patients with groups such as Brothers Forever and the People of Color Consortium Against AIDS. “You can imagine at the peak of the HIV crisis in the ’90s, approaching someone on the street and asking them, ‘Hey, by chance, do you have sex with men? And if so, can we talk about it?’ And so that is kind of where some of my fearlessness comes from, from doing that type of work,” Coates said.

He attended Metropolitan State University of Denver starting in 2004 and obtained a degree in criminal justice in 2010. In 2013, while continuing his activism around HIV and working in the telecommunications industry, Coates’ grandfather died, which he said spurred him to volunteer and later work for the congressional campaign of Democrat Andrew Romanoff and Morgan Carroll’s campaign to lead the state Democratic party.

He also previously served on Aurora’s Human Relations Commission and the Citizens’ Advisory Budget Committee. In 2016 he announced his campaign for a seat on Aurora’s City Council. But his council bid was put on hold in 2017, after Coates was charged in connection with an incident in the Town Center of Aurora mall parking lot that ended with him firing a gun at a car.

Coates said an intimate partner stole electronics from him and offered to sell his property back, but when they met to conduct the transaction, the individual tried to hit Coates

with their car, and Coates shot at the vehicle’s tire. According to police, Coates had sex with a prostitute and then fired a gun into the car where the prostitute and three other people were sitting.

Coates was charged with the felony of illegally discharging a firearm as well as misdemeanor counts of patronizing a prostitute, soliciting a prostitute and criminal mischief in March 2017. He ultimately pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor of prohibited use of a weapon and was sentenced to probation.

Reflecting on the 2017 case, Coates said he contacted the police three times prior to the shooting incident and asked for help retrieving his property, but his requests were turned down, and he was told to call again if he decided to meet with the alleged thief and “things got out of control.”

Coates described the charges against him as politically-motivated but said he is comfortable discussing the case since it “exposes the fact that I’m human, just like anyone else, and it highlights how the system failed.”

“I don’t think it makes me unfit. I actually think that situation increased and amplified my ability to be an advocate,” he said. “It made me more of a conscious and sincere person.

“I’m a renter. I’ve lived gig-to-gig. I had an experience once where I tried to file for food stamps, and they said, ‘You have too much value because you own a car.’ If I sell my car to get food stamps, then how do I get to work?”

Coates said his priorities if elected will include increasing the county’s inventory of affordable housing and offering property tax breaks to veterans and seniors, helping them remain in their homes. He also expressed interest in investing more in social services, including eviction prevention programs for county residents, and advocating for an end to Colorado’s prohibition on rent control.

“I want to focus on housing. I feel it’s a human fundamental necessity, and it cannot be overstated,” he said.

“Your home is basically like a seed that allows you to branch out and to actually be a productive member of society.”

On the topic of environmental justice, Coates said he would support tougher penalties for oil and gas operators who violate county rules as well as employment opportunities in the renewable energy sector. He also said that he would support pushing Arapahoe County contractors to employ more local residents.

Coates described making sure county residents are able to find employment and meet their basic needs as essential to addressing crime as an economic phenomenon. He said he would steer more money toward programs such as drug and alcohol rehabilitation that could reduce the overall financial and social impact to the county of incarceration.

“I am not a ‘defund the police’ person. I think that safety is an issue, and the system needs to be restructured, and officers need to be trained better. But I also think that in terms of community safety, we need to approach things from an economic standpoint,” he said. “If you keep putting Band-Aids over the wound, and you don’t take the time to clean up the wound, the wound only gets larger, and it becomes more of a detriment to society.”

When asked how he felt about running against a candidate with more than a decade of experience in elected office, Coates said he believes he would be more effective as someone who doesn’t have to “pay back favors” and that his unique life experience will resonate with voters in District 5.

“I know that the work of commissioner would not be a career move

for me. For me, this is not a stepping stone,” he said. “I’m running for the people, so I’m not running ‘against’ anyone.”

If Coates is named as a primary candidate by at least 30% of his party’s caucus in March, or if he submits at least 1,000 valid signatures to the county clerk by the third Tuesday in March, he will face Fields in a primary election June 25.

The general election for the District 5 seat will take place Nov. 5.

Aurora lawmakers put off accessibility upgrades at City Hall pending more information Aurora’s City Council put off renovations that would make its meeting space more accessible to wheelchair users on Monday, saying they will wait for a revised cost estimate and a list of city facilities requiring similar work.

Currently, members of the public who use a wheelchair must use a lift to access the floor of the Paul Tauer Council Chamber — for example, if they want to make a public comment.

To access the dais, wheelchair users enter the chamber via a ramp extending downward from the adjacent Aurora Room.

While Elly Watson of Aurora’s Public Works Department said the council chamber complies with the accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, other council members described the lack of a ramp leading to the floor of the chamber as degrading for wheelchair users.

“The current option we have with the lift for public comment is, frankly, humiliating,” Councilmember Curtis Gardner said. “If we had extensive public comment from the disabled public, and we had public commenter after public commenter where that had to happen, I think it would be embarrassing for us to have to sit through that.”

Watson told the council during their Monday study session that the proposed project would involve building a ramp that would extend to the floor of the council chamber through where a storage room currently exists.

The existing lift would be removed to make room for another ramp leading to the dais. Additional accessible seating would also be added, and the room would be repainted and recarpeted during the construction, which would take several months.

The work would cost about $840,000 in addition to about $113,000 that the city has spent already on design and permit fees. And the council would either have to return to meeting remotely, which staffers recommended, or meet in a lower-occupancy space like the Aurora Room for the duration of the work.

Funding for the project would include about $750,000 of the city’s American Rescue Plan Act allocation as well as $203,000 in building repair funds.

While Deputy City Manager Laura Perry suggested that only building the ramp to the floor of the chamber would cost less and allow the coun-

cil to continue meeting in the space during construction, staffers were unable to provide an estimate of the cost savings.

Ultimately, a majority of council members agreed that the council should wait for the city to ask for bids for building the single ramp and wait for staffers to provide a list of other city facilities that have yet to be brought into compliance with the ADA. “I am a little concerned,” said Mayor Mike Coffman. “We have one-time federal funds, and we’re spending them on a (facility) that’s ADA-compliant, and we have outstanding (facilities) that are not ADA-compliant.”

Gardner and Councilmember Crystal Murillo both objected to postponing the work. Watson estimated it would take between three and four months to again solicit bids.

CD6 Rep. Jason Crow seeking a 4th term: ‘Democracy is on the ballot’ Democratic Congressman Jason Crow has made official his bid for a fourth term representing Colorado’s

6th Congressional District, offering up a catalog of endorsements statewide from fellow Democrats.

“Democracy is on the ballot. Our national security is on the ballot.

Women’s rights are on the ballot,” Crow said in a statement. “My time in combat taught me to never back down from a fight, and I don’t intend to stop now.”

The former Army Ranger and Bronze Star recipient has focused his first three terms on a wide variety of causes, including immigration reform, climate change, healthcare reform, gun safety, abortion rights, national security and foreign affairs.

He handily won his first three contests for the House district seat, a district populated mostly by Aurora residents. Crow flipped the former Republican-held seat to Democrat, beating former GOP Congressperson Mike Coffman by 10 points in 2018.

Crow has drawn the national spotlight on a few occasions, first by being tabbed as an impeachment manager, even as a freshman member of Congress, during the first impeachment of Donald Trump.

During the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, Crow was in the House gallery and was photographed helping other panicked members of the House flee to safety.

Recently, Crow has attracted the media spotlight again for his stark criticism of fellow Colorado House Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Western Slope Republican.

Crow has been a staunch advocate for banning military-type weapons for personal use.

In a statement yesterday, Crow touted endorsements from more than 50 Colorado Democratic officials, including senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, and elected officials from Gov. Jared Polis down to local city, county and school board officials.

As a freshman, Crow served as Co-Chair of the National Security Task Force. Crow now sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he serves as the Ranking Member on the Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee.

Crow said he will not only press for his own re-election, but he will “work to elect Democratic candidates up and down the ballot in Colorado and work to flip the House blue.”

Retired ICE field officer and Air Force veteran John Fabbricatore, an Aurora Republican, has announced he will seek his party’s nomination to challenge Crow in the general election.

ammi Traylor-Statewright doesn’t know if this season will end with elation or heartbreak for her Cherokee Trail girls basketball team, but she knows it will be fun to find out.

The Cougars — remade slightly from last season’s team that took a disappointing exit in the Sweet 16 round of the Class 6A state playoffs — have had a tremendous start to the season.

In a four-day span, Cherokee Trail earned a measure of revenge against budding local rival Regis Jesuit with a win and followed that shortly with a 10-point victory over a Legend team that came into the game 11-0. That’s left the Cougars, for the moment, GIRLS BASKETBALL as the big classification’s top team.

The Cougars appear to have the mental toughness and experience in regulars such as senior Damara Allen and juniors Delainey Miller, Madeline Gibbs and Talia Strode, while exciting young players such as sophomores Aaliyah Broadus and Karson Chaney have fit in seamlessly and added to the dynamic.

Cherokee Trail shares the basketball and has a very diverse offensive attack four players average 8.5 points or more per game in Miller (12.3), Allen (11.4), Chaney (9.0) and Gibbs (8.5), while Broadus and Strode are a few points below that, but both scored 14 points in the Cougars’ win over Regis Jesuit to lead the way.

No matter who does the scoring, Cherokee Trail can hang its hat on the defense that it plays, The Cougars pour their energy into the defensive end and it shows, as they have allowed an average of just 40.1 points per game this season. Against nine Colorado teams, that average drops to 32.7 points per game.

That’s a recipe for victory, even when the games tighten up as they will in upcoming Centennial League play as well as the postseason, where Cherokee Trail has high hopes.

The Cougars open league play with a doozy, as they will play host to Grandview at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 17 in a matchup of teams that may be undefeated against Colorado teams at that point. Cherokee Trail will be it has no more games until then, while the Wolves are 5-6 overall, but 4-0 against Colorado teams. All six of Grandview’s losses came between the She Got Game Classic in Dallas and the Nike Tournament of Champions.

Cherokee Trail dropped a game to Arapahoe last season and will face it again on the road Jan. 27, while a meeting with Cherry Creek looms Feb. 7. In between are quality opponents in Eaglecrest, Mullen (which the Cougars defeated in a tournament championship game earlier) and rising Overland, which should help sharpen Cherokee Trail fot its anticipated postseason push.

Trail’s rise Of course, two-time defending state champion Grandview — featuring Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year Sienna Betts — awaits when Centennial League play arrives, but the Cougars found a way to beat the Wolves for the first time last season and will be unintimidated when they meet.

They also have to deal

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editorwith two other semifinalists from last season — Arapahoe and Cherry Creek — in league play, but Cherokee Trail has shown the ability to compete with anybody in the state in the early going.

Nine of the Cougars’ 11 wins have come against Colorado teams, while they split four contests in Phoenix at the Nike Tournament of Champions.

Losses to Bullis (a team from Potomac, Maryland) and St. Mary’s (Stockton, California) were disappointing, but her team’s response to early adversity against quality opponents showed Traylor-Statewright what she needed to know.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Regis Jesuit’s Hana Belibi nominated for 2024 McDAAG Only two senior boys and girls basketball players from Colorado received nominations to the annual McDonald’s All-American Games and one of them is from an Aurora-area program in Regis Jesuit’s Hana Belibi.

The list — Belibi which included a combined 724 boys and girls players from 43 states and the District of Columbia — came out Jan. 9 and included Belibi, the leading scorer for a Regis Jesuit girls basketball team that is off to a 7-4 start.

Belibi — a 6-foot frontcourt player who has committed to play at Harvard — has averaged 18.2 points per game for the Raiders passed the 1,000 career point mark prior to winter break. She is second on coach Jordan Kasemodel’s team in rebounding at 7.9 per contest. It is not the first McDonald’s All-American Game nomination in the Belibi family, as Fran Belibi was nominated out of Regis Jesuit in 2019. She was selected to the game when it was played in Atlanta.

The boys and girls nominated came through a high school coach, athletic director, principal or member of the McDonald’s All-American Games Selection Committee.

The 24-player rosters for both the boys and girls games will be announced on ESPN’s NBA Today program between 3-4 p.m. ET on Jan. 24.

This season’s McDAAG games are scheduled for April 2 at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Aurora has had three previous McDonald’s All-American Game selections in Fran Belibi as well as Grandview’s Michaela Onyenwere and Lauren Betts.

Dreaming of spring HOW TO SPEND THE WINTER PLANNING AND PREPARING FOR YOUR SPRING GARDEN

G

ardening isn’t usually the first thing that springs to mind when the calendar page turns to January. But with the holidays behind us, there’s no better time to start planning and preparing our 2024 gardens.

Of course, that will mean different things in different places. It’s impossible to account for every microclimate in every region, but frost – or lack thereof – is the defining characteristic that should guide gardeners over winter.

BY JESSICA DAMIANO Associated Press

WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW

This Dec. 17, 2020, image provided by Jessica Damiano shows a row of Leyland cypress trees buckling under the weight of snow on their branches on Long Island, New York.

In Aurora, where frosts and freezes are common, gardeners should monitor for heaving, the lifting of plant roots and bulbs out of the soil resulting from the season’s freeze-thaw cycles. Pushed up out of the ground, even ever so slightly, they become vulnerable to exposure and could die.

Take periodic walks around beds and borders and push heaved roots back into the ground with your foot, then apply a few inches of protective mulch over them.

Keep off the grass. Walking on frozen or muddy lawns can injure grass and damage soil structure, which is difficult to repair.

Protect young trees from rodent nibbling by wrapping their bottom halves with plastic col-

lars or mesh hardware cloth.

Gently remove snow from evergreen branches to avoid buckling and breaking. A long-handled broom is the best tool for the job.

Pile shoveled snow over perennial beds and borders (as long as you haven’t applied ice-melt chemicals). Roots will benefit from the added insulation.

Heating systems are as drying to houseplants as they are to humans. Keep plants away from radiators and heating vents, and mist them every other day or place a humidifier nearby.

In the Northeast and Upper Midwest, go on a search-and-destroy mission through the garden, inspecting tree branches, patio furniture and other surfaces for the egg cases of spongy moths. They look like gray or beige wads of used chewing gum. Each mass contains up to 1,000 eggs, so scraping them off now and dropping them into a bucket of hot, soapy water will reduce the next generation of the hardwood-tree-decimating insects. Wear gloves – it’s icky work.

In warmer regions, January is a great time to test your soil’s pH. A reading of 7 indicates a neutral pH. Higher than 7 is alkaline; lower is acidic. Learn what levels your specific plants require and, if necessary, amend the soil with dolomitic lime to raise its pH or elemental sulfur to lower it. Follow package directions.

It’s generally safe to transplant or prune es-

tablished trees in the South now. And, as long as the soil is dry and workable, you can plant bare-root roses, bulbs, fruit trees, herbs and cooler-season vegetables like beets, broccoli, cabbage and lettuces.

Get a head start by sowing flower seeds in containers or flats. Wait until the end of the month to start warm-season vegetables like tomatoes and peppers.

GENERAL TIPS This is a good time to take inventory of supplies and leftover seeds, noting what needs to be replenished. Take advantage of off-season sales and clearances.

Place plant and seed orders as gardening catalogs begin to arrive. The most popular selections will likely sell out quickly, and most retailers will ship at the correct planting time for your region.

If spotted lanternflies are present in your region, inspect tree trunks and branches, patio furniture, cars and other structures for their egg masses. The wax-coated blobs, which appear to be covered in mud, contain up to 50 eggs apiece. Scrape them off into a zipper-top plastic bag filled with hand sanitizer, then seal the bag and place it in the trash. Your contribution to this effort is vital to slowing the spread of this destructive insect.

THE WRONGEST YARD Cities planting the seeds of xeriscape in light of diminishing river flows

BY ALLEN BEST, Aspen Journalism Project

This story, a collaboration of Big Pivots and Aspen Journalism, is part of a series that examines the intersection of water and urban landscapes in Colorado.

T

he deepening troubles of the Colorado River, a significant source of water for most of Colorado’s 5.9 million residents, has implications for the types of grasses we grow in our yards and in street medians.

Speaking in Las Vegas recently, former Arizona Gov. and former U.S. Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt recalled warnings of worsening drought and imbalances between supplies and demand. “There’s going to be a day of reckoning,” Babbitt, 85, told Politico’s E&E News, referring to the warnings of scientists during past decades. “Here we are. The crisis has arrived.”

Colorado’s mounting efforts to limit new expanses of thirsty turf won’t solve the Colorado River problems. Colorado is just one of seven states in the basin.

And even within Colorado, agriculture consumes roughly 90% of Colorado’s water and cities about 7%. Exterior use, such as for watering thirsty Kentucky bluegrass yards, consumes 40% to 60% of municipal water.

But if this water use is on the

margins, it’s one that many water managers believe must be addressed. A bill that originated in the Water Resources and Agriculture Review Committee in October has the support of two of the state’s largest cities and has sponsors from both political parties from across Colorado.

This proposal would preclude the installation of nonfunctional turf as well as artificial turf in commercial, institutional or industrial properties or in transportation corridors, such as along streets or in road medians.

Nonfunctional turf is defined as grasses that are predominantly ornamental — and that few will ever walk on unless to mow, yet still require heavy watering.

Think, for example, of those giant carpets of green grass that commonly surround business parks such as the Denver Tech Center or Broomfield’s Inverness business park.

The bill, however, does not address residential water use.

Many urban landscapes in Colorado are planted in Kentucky bluegrass and other thirsty species that require close to double what the semiarid climate

delivers. Native grasses such as blue gramma and even some imported species can survive with far less or even no supplemental water.

Continued population growth also adds pressure to city water utilities. The Colorado Water Plan projects growth of the state’s current population to at least 7.7 million by 2050, mostly along the Front Range.

Legislators have been advised by the state’s Colorado River Drought Task Force to bump funding to $5 million per year for turf removal. In 2022, they allocated $2 million, which has now been exhausted in grants to local jurisdictions.

Also informing Colorado’s path forward will be recommendations from another task force, appointed by Gov. Jared Polis last January, to investigate opportunities for an accelerated transformation in use of water in urban landscapes. The 21 committee members were drawn from the ranks of local governments, academia, environmental advocacy groups and developers.

At their eight meetings, committee members wrestled with

what should be the proper mix of incentives and mandates and ultimately just how far the state should push into matters of local land use. One member suggested that banning new turf in road medians was a no-brainer. Another member urged flexibility for local jurisdictions to achieve state goals. “We’re going to be on this journey for a long time,” said Catherine Moravec of Colorado Springs Utilities. “Less controversy will help keep us together.”

In final meetings, now concluded, members agreed on the need to support state legislation.

The Colorado Water Conservation Board, which oversaw the process, emphasizes that the task force’s report will have no direct connection to legislation.

The task force’s pending report “may be used by decision-makers at state, local or even neighborhood scales,” said Jenna Battson, the agency’s outdoor water conservation coordinator. “It’s a resource.” The task force recommendations are expected to be released in late January after review – and perhaps tweaking – by Polis.

Changing the status quo Water scarcity underlies all these discussions. Specific circumstances vary. Some jurisdictions, most notably those between Denver and Colorado Springs, depend upon receding underground aquifers for most of their water. They get very little or no Colorado River water.

Most other jurisdictions do rely upon the Colorado River.

Ambiguity has long dogged the Colorado River Compact, the agreement reached by delegates from the seven basin states in 1922. What if runoff declined substantially? The river since 2000 has delivered an average 12.3 million acre-feet per year, far short of the 20 million acre-feet that delegates had assumed.

Must Colorado and the three other upper-basin states — New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming — leave more water to flow downstream if runoff declines even more? That would cause curtailment of diversions with water rights after 1922. A study commissioned by the Glenwood Springs-based Colorado River Water Conservation District found that 96% of Front Range water use could be subject to curtailment.

That includes diversions by Denver Water. “It is possible that Denver Water’s deliveries of Colorado River basin supplies could be curtailed for a period of time,” advised a statement from Denver Water issued in August 2022 when the utility was issuing new water bonds.

That statement was issued the same month that Denver Water and 30 other utilities from Colorado to California that rely upon Colorado River Basin water committed to removing urban turf, with a goal of 75 million square feet in the case of Denver Water. That’s an area roughly equivalent in size to 1,800 football fields. At the current rate, that will be achieved in 100 years, according to Denver Water.

Even so, that was a sharp reversal for Denver Water, a utility that delivers water to 1.5 million people in Denver and 17 other municipalities in the metro area. Even after severe drought 20 years before, Denver made no move to remove turf. If drought got bad enough, the agency reasoned, it could ask customers to stop watering their yards. The utility now plans a pilot program in 2024 in conjunction with Resource Central to cost-share lawn removal with customers.

Greg Fisher, Denver Water’s manager of demand planning and efficiency, told legislators in October that spending money to help remove turf makes no sense if thirsty nonnative turf species are simultaneously being planted elsewhere.

“Ultimately, success for us is changing the status quo, creating a new cultural landscape that will benefit Colorado’s environment and save water at the same time,” he said. Fisher cited the ancillary

benefit of providing habitat for pollinators, which is not provided by imported grasses. Denver supports the bill.

The proposed state law up for consideration in the 2024 session would also preclude artificial turf in lieu of grass. The bill says artificial turf releases harmful chemicals into watersheds and exacerbates the heat island effect compounded by rising temperatures in coming decades.

Colorado is famously a local-control state. Its towns and cities, many of them operating under home-rule charters, jealously guard local prerogatives.

They, not the state, decide the speed limits on their streets and don’t like the state telling them what to do, particularly in land use. Always, there is tension.

But in water, the state has already adopted efficiency requirements. Any toilet sold in Colorado must consume no more than 1.2 gallons per flush. Colorado law also requires the most efficient pop-up sprinklers.

Should state law also override local authority in deciding landscaping choices? If still a sensitive area, even cities normally inclined to tell legislators to butt out are now more inviting of state engagement or at least inclined to remain neutral.

“Aurora will typically be one of the communities that shows up and says don’t do anything at the state level that impedes our local control,” Marshall Brown, general manager of Aurora Water, told the legislative committee in October in support of the ban on planting new vegetation with high water needs. This proposal, he added, retains local control while providing strong guidance from the state.

When Aurora changed its mind For many years, Aurora tried voluntary programs for turf removal, in order to stretch its water. It made no sense if others then planted large amounts of grass. “We didn’t have success until we mandated a ban on nonfunctional turf,” Brown said.

In September 2022, Aurora City Council adopted a wide-ranging ordinance that is among the most aggressive in Colorado. It bans Kentucky bluegrass and other thirsty cool-weather grass in front yards of new residential developments.

New golf courses are allowed, but not with thirsty grasses. They must have grasses that use less water. New ornamental water features, such as fountains, are also banned.

Several decades ago, Aurora had gained a reputation for lacking greenery due to the mostly treeless landscape of newer subdivisions.

“I would ask those people to go east of Aurora and see what they see,” said Tim York, water conservation manager for Aurora. “They won’t see turf and they won’t see very many trees.

Although we aren’t against trees.

OPPOSITE PAGE: A proposed state law would take aim at thirsty turf varieties planted along streets and roads in new developments. This housing project, Leyden Rock in Arvada, has less space devoted to front-yard turf than many older subdivisions.

ABOVE: Aurora, Northern Water and several other water providers in Colorado maintain demonstration gardens that illustrate various landscaping alternatives.

We definitely need trees. Just be sure to put them in the right places.”

Aurora, now with a population of 400,000, for many decades believed it needed well-watered turf in its urban landscapes. Even in the late 1980s, the city water department had just one employee devoted to conservation.

“In retrospect, installing landscapes for aesthetic purposes that require over 2 feet of water per year was probably not the right way to do it,” said York.

The 2002 drought forced a new reckoning. That hot, dry, windy year revealed the inadequacy of Aurora’s portfolio of water rights and storage, both for that intense drought but also in regard to projected population growth. The city’s utility manager warned of dire reductions if snow didn’t arrive. It did the next spring, on St. Patrick’s Day of 2003, but the episode revealed the city’s vulnerabilities.

Both reuse and conservation became an active part of the municipal agenda. Since then, per-capita water use has declined by 36%. The population during that time has grown by 30%.

The city offered rebates to residents willing to replace their thirsty turf.

In 2022, though, the city recognized the fallacy of creating a bigger problem that would have to be addressed later.

York, a landscape architect by training with experience in Las Vegas, contends that pleasant urban landscapes can be created with lesser volumes of water. It just takes more thoughtfulness about the function.

“That function should not be that ‘It looks pretty’ and that is all that it does,” York said. “A water-wise landscape, done correctly with species variation, can be far more attractive than the mo-

notonous green carpet turf found in most places.”

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman said homeowners resisted the ban at first, as did some members of the City Council, who saw it as going too far. They were convinced by Coffman that taking action now may prevent more dramatic actions in the future if the Colorado River situation deteriorates further. Aurora gets 25% of its water from multiple sources in the Colorado River basin.

There were also arguments that water-wise landscaping is ugly.

“I don’t think it’s ugly,” Coffman said in an interview. “What is ugly is when homeowners, because of the cost of water, give up on their yards. That’s ugly.

But anyway, it’s the new reality we live in, and people have to get used to it.”

Down the Colorado River Nevada and California have adopted far more significant restrictions.

A century ago, when the Colorado River Compact was crafted, Las Vegas had a population of little more than 2,000. The compact allocated only 300,000 acre-feet to Nevada, compared with 4.4 million acre-feet for California.

By 1996, Las Vegas was becoming a metropolitan area, and lawns replicating those found in Midwestern towns were still being planted in an environment of soaring summer heat and only 4 inches of average precipitation.

The Southern Nevada Water Authority began offering incentives for turf removal. That program has since then cost $285 million, according to a January 2023 report prepared for the Colorado

Water Conservation Board.

In 2021, with the notion of an empty Lake Mead becoming an all-too-real possibility, Nevada banned all ornamental turf dependent upon Colorado River water. Ornamental in this case applies to grass used in street medians, entrances to developments and office parks — in general, places where people rarely set foot except to mow. This covers about 31% of all the grass in the Las Vegas area.

California also took a very aggressive step in 2023. The law, Assembly Bill 1572, prohibits using drinking water for purely decorative grass in medians and outside business and in common areas of homeowner association neighborhoods, the Los Angeles Times reported in September.

The ban will take effect in phases between 2027 and 2031. It exempts sports fields, parks, cemeteries and residences.

Metropolitan Water, the agency that supplies wholesale water to most of Southern California, estimates that the bill will save 300,000 acre-feet. That’s equal to Nevada’s Colorado River allocation.

Sterling Ranch may be Colorado’s best example of judicious water use. The development of more than 3,000 houses lies in the southwest corner of metropolitan Denver. The developer set out to do better than 0.75 acre-feet annually per single-family residence, which is Douglas County’s requirement. It aimed for 0.4 acre-feet but has come in at 0.2 acre-feet. The developer expects an apartment complex will yield even less consumption, at 0.14 acre-feet per unit.

tion District, the water provider at Sterling Ranch, said “conservation” is not used in messaging “because it implies that it was yours to use and we are asking you to please use less.” At Sterling Ranch, she said, developers combined demand-management techniques — including higher rates for outdoor water use — with land-use planning to dial down water use.

Several Colorado jurisdictions have taken more-limited action in the past several years. In August, for example, Broomfield adopted a code limiting new turf grass to 30% of front and side yards of detached single-family homes and commercial properties. Turfgrass must primarily consist of low-water grasses. Both a city and a county, Broomfield has 77,000 people but with expectations of growing to 125,000 as land is developed.

In Edgewater, a municipality of moderately dense neighborhoods west of downtown Denver, redevelopment will be the primary target of regulations adopted in November. The regulations limit Kentucky and other cool-weather grasses to 25% of residential areas. It also has limitations in commercial and other areas similar to what is proposed in the proposed state law.

Paige Johnson, sustainability director for Edgewater, said the primary goals are saving water and creating and sustaining robust and diverse natural ecosystems.

And in Castle Rock Castle Rock gets virtually no water from the Colorado River except for a tiny bit of reused water. It was a late bloomer among cities of metro Denver with fewer than 4,000 residents in 1980. The limited water from

Plum Creek combined with wells drilled into aquifers of the underling Denver Basin were just fine.

It now has 80,000 residents but plans for 142,000 in decades ahead. In anticipation of that much larger population, it has been offering rebates of $1.50 per square foot for replacement of water-thirsty grasses with native species that use less water.

Those who replace grass with concrete or artificial turf can get only $1. Both exacerbate heat-island effects of high temperatures and create more runoff problems during rains.

Castle Rock calls these lessthirsty yards “ColoradoScapes.”

Such areas must have 75% vegetation to qualify.

In October 2022, after several years of outreach, Castle Rock adopted regulations that lifted the bar several notches higher.

No thirsty grasses can be planted in front yards. Backyards, where families tend to gather, can have a maximum of 500 square feet.

Castle Rock also banned new ornamental turf — grass that no one actually walks on — in road medians and at entrances to housing projects.

Mark Marlowe, director of Castle Rock Water, emphasizes cost in justifying the restrictions.

Building water-treatment plants and distribution to meet peak demand during the hot days of summer bears a large price tag.

Getting additional water from more distant places is also expensive.

Castle Rock residents today use 118 gallons per capita on average daily. “If we can get our community below 100 gallons per capita a day, we can save upward of $70 million in long-term water rights and infrastructure,” Marlowe said.

Similar to other Colorado cities, 50% of Castle Rock’s water was devoted to outdoor landscaping. That has declined to

42%. Marlowe projects it will continue to drop as Castle Rock Water has set a goal of removing 30% of the current non-functional grass turf in the municipality and replacing it with Coloradoscape by approximately 2050.

Limiting water devoted to outdoor landscaping helps Castle Rock in another way. Water applied to outdoor landscapes mostly disappears into the atmosphere, while about 90% of water used indoors gets treated. In many places in Colorado, this treated water is released into streams and rivers to satisfy those with water rights downstream.

Because it draws the water from the aquifers, Colorado water law allows Castle Rock to reuse that water repeatedly, to “extinction.” Overall, the city hopes to achieve 75% renewable water by midcentury, reserving use of the Denver Basin aquifers to droughts.

Denver has a very different situation. A century ago, when Castle Rock was a small ranch town of fewer than 500 residents, Denver already had 256,000 people. Envisioning a far larger city, civic leaders had laid plans for Colorado’s first major transmountain diversion to take water from the Fraser River via the Moffat Tunnel.

Now, the city is landlocked, able to grow upward but not outward. Water use has leveled off.

The city has a strong water portfolio but wants to help residents learn how to use less water for landscaping.

“You don’t have to have wallto-wall grass to have an inviting city,” said Denver Water’s Fisher.

He cautioned against pointing fingers at those with cool-weather turf. “I do think we’re trying to slowly change how people approach their landscapes and make that connection back to water,” he said.

A golf course without water hazards In Colorado Springs, the state’s second-largest city, overall water demand has remained relatively flat since the mid-1980s.

During that time, the city’s population has nearly doubled. Most of that 40% decline in per-capita water use has occurred since 2001. Other Front Range cities similarly report substantial declines of 35% to 40%.

Colorado Springs Utilities has championed the use of native grasses in urban landscaping but also paid careful attention to the efficiency of preinstalled irrigation systems as it plans for a population of 800,000 in coming decades. It’s now at 500,000.

The city also wants to help residents maintain their yards using water-wise techniques.

Between 25% and 30% have stopped irrigating their yards.

That neglect “has a significant, negative impact on our collective quality of life and economic vitality,” said Colorado Springs Utility in a statement. “Our work is to reach those customers as well.”

The changing climate also poses challenges. Julia Galluci, supervisor of water conservation for Colorado Springs, said the city expects to have water resources available for outdoor watering about one day a week by 2050. “We are trying to implement the kinds of landscapes that can survive in that kind of climate and environment,” she said.

Colorado Springs has been moving slowly, only this year moving into its messaging of the more general population. “It’s not a quick fix,” said Galluci.

Of course, if the Colorado River situation deteriorates rapidly, city and state policies may accelerate. After last winter’s strong snowpack, the big reservoirs— Mead and Powell — rebounded

slightly after dropping to perilously low levels. In April 2022, railroad tracks on a ledge of the canyon wall that had been abandoned upon completion of the Glen Canyon Dam re-emerged after being underwater since soon after the dam was completed in 1966. Those artifacts are underwater again, but no one knows for how long.

As for new golf courses, they may look different in the future.

Aurora’s recent commitment to restrictions was triggered by a golf course approved long before.

The golf course has been granted authority to move ahead after agreeing to use a grass variety that will cause it to use 250 acrefeet annually instead of the 400 acre-feet that would be needed by more conventional grass.

Developers of the golf course will tap an aquifer with a projected 50-year supply. When that aquifer goes dry, they will not seek to use city water, Other golf course developers may also want to study new hybrid species of grass. A new type of Bermuda grass, for example, uses 50% to 75% less water.

Colorado has two golf courses that use no more water than comes from the sky. One is a nine-hole municipal course at Springfield, in southeast Colorado. The other lies 100 miles east of Aurora, near Hugo. The Hugo Golf Club falls under the heading of “pasture golf.” It has 300 trees that get watered, but the fairways where bison once grazed now consist of native buffalo grass, cactus and sagebrush.

For greens, it has sand. Naturally, it has no water hazards.

This is the fifth of five stories about water and urban landscapes that was published during November and December in a collaboration of Big Pivots and Aspen Journalism. See those stories at their websites.
