Aurora is stranger than truth and city council fiction when it comes to dramas

DAVE PERRY Editor

f there’s one rule that’s been faithful in all the years I’ve watched and written about Aurora, it’s that you can’t make up stuff that tops the reality of life in A-town.

The last couple of weeks have been a perfect example of that.

Winning the 2024 Award for Life is Stranger Than Fiction is the never-ending trial of Robin Niceta. This truly is a story that keeps on giving.

If you recently came to this planet, Niceta is the former Arapahoe County social worker who apparently became infuriated with Aurora Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky two years ago. At the time, Niceta was dating Aurora’s former police chief, Vanessa Wilson. Jurinsky appeared on a far-right radio talk show and badmouthed Wilson, who was running headfirst through the city’s painful police reform, a show unto itself.

An investigation revealed that Niceta, acting on her own, faked a report on a tip line, accusing Jurinsky of abusing her son.

The false report prompted an investigation about Jurinsky, which eventually turned into an investigation about Niceta for faking the report. That was almost two years ago.

Convicted earlier this year for falsifying the report, Niceta has been in and out of court, also accused of faking brain cancer, complete with a fake New Mexico doctor she invented that supposedly supplied faked brain x-rays. Despite being convicted, Niceta can’t seem to collect her sentence. Last Homeless camps are still littered throughout the city, near major intersections month, she appeared in court to have justice meted out to her. and along side roads.

Aurora’s must-jail-shoplifter crusade offers a mirage reflecting a lack of honesty, credibility and facts

A

n Aurora attempt to reduce shoplifting in local stores looks and sounds much more like a frothing talk-radio show than a deliberative city council.

Over the last week, conservatives on the Aurora City Council have once again taken a ready-fire-aim approach to governing. This time, lawmakers shot themselves in the feet over a scheme that threatens to send more convicted shoplifters to jail.

Last year, city lawmakers agreed to jail anyone convicted of shoplifting merchandise worth $300 or more. This week, lawmakers pushed to lower the limit to $100. The state limit for felony theft is $2,000.

The scheme is grounded in right-wing talk radio hysteria, disinformation, half-truths and fallacy.

The only fact in this “go-directly-to-jail” ruse is that evidence shows there was a marked increase in retail loss from theft over the past few years, nationally, regionally and locally.

That data — from reliable sources such as the National Retail Federation, Statista, Retail and Trade, and the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention — is backed by a slate of other retail and retail insurance studies that reveals that Colorado retailers lost $1.289 billion in revenue to retail theft in 2022, but the bulk of that was not from shoplifting.

Among the things this conservative cohort of Aurora city lawmakers aren’t telling the public: • Retail theft per capita in Colorado is 19% lower than all states.

• Only about one-third of the losses are attributable to shoplifting. About 29% of the retail theft loss is due to employee or internal theft. Another 26% of retail theft loss is attributed to internal process and control failures. Another 9% is loss attributable to “other” causes — not shoplifting.

That’s just the beginning of this bogus city-council campaign to “get tough on crime.”

First off, shoplifting is far from new and far from being at the forefront of the mind of retail owners. In 2014, shoplifting became a top concern for Aurora business owners. Another ill-fated attempt to get tough on shoplifting involved city courts handing out jail sentences and posting pictures of those arrested for shoplifting on Facebook.

It did nothing but risk due process lawsuits and eventually petered out.

At the root of this ruse is a fairy-tale belief that increasing threats and jail punishment reduces crime.

It does not. The sustained evidence shows that threatening worse punishment for stealing cars, toothbrushes, tires or trampolines does not measurably move the needle — except in costing more to taxpayers.

While repeated studies have backed this up, famous among them is a 1997 Urban Institute review. During the 1980s when jails and prisons were filled with three times as many inmates, crime went down about 9%, according to research in the Urban Institute study.

What does increase is the ratio of Black men put in jail compared to their convicted white counterparts, the study

revealed. Incarceration of Black men “above the poverty level increased from 21 to 37 per 1,000 of these men in the general population. These rates are eight times those for a comparable group of white men.”

Just as importantly, 1 in 4 shoplifters is under the age of 16, immune from the threat of jail, even if they were arrested, and the vast majority of shoplifters are not.

Here’s more information from National Association for Shoplifting Prevention that city council members didn’t reveal to the public: • Shoplifters say they are caught, on average, just 1 in every 49 times they steal.

• Chronic offenders say they are arrested 1 in every 100 times they steal.

• Each time an offender enters the criminal justice system, the cost to taxpayers is upward of $2,000, and that’s before the cost of incarceration Like a loopy right-wing talk radio jock, tough-talk believers can wish and promise all they want. The evidence is unequivocal that increasing jail time does not prevent nor “reform” criminal behavior.

Not only did a city council committee of conservatives leave out these critical details about the issue, they exaggerated or made up narrative to support their folly.

During a city council public safety committee meeting last week, city council members Stephanie Hancock and Danielle Jurinsky both said that an Aurora Goodwill store was closing because of a pernicious shoplifting problem.

Juninsky called the Goodwill problem “beyond embarrassment.”

When the Sentinel checked out their story, it was bogus.

“Goodwill of Colorado spokeswoman Stephanie Bell later said the organization’s decision not to renew the lease on its Mississippi Avenue outlet store at the end of May was ‘not related to shoplifting in any way, shape or form,’ and was instead part of a planned consolidation of the store into a location in Westminster,” according to a Sentinel report by Max Levy.

Hancock said in a later text message to the Sentinel that she did not remember who informed her about the Goodwill store closing.

Police attorney Pete Schulte joined in the faux-fact committee hearing by stating that Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown was essentially on board with this scheme to fill one of the county jails with shoplifters.

Not quite, said Arapahoe County Sheriff spokesperson Ginger Delgado in an email to the Sentinel after being pressed for confirmation.

“Brown is aware of the ordinance but wants to learn more about the potential impacts on capacity at the county jail and the City of Aurora’s budget before making a commitment,” she said.

The rest of the county has never been interested in subsidizing Aurora’s boondoggles.

Everyone but this city council wants more information.

How many people arrested and potentially jailed has been or

could be is unclear. Even as the city council debated the measure in study session this week, neither council members nor lawyers presented any data about the cost or impact of the previous jail boost and this one.

When the measure’s supporters were called out by other council members, they defended that lack of data about the previous push for jail time.

“I understand what you’re saying about getting the data, but I don’t think it changes the intent of the ordinance,” Councilmember Francoise Bergan said Monday.

Facts-and-reality-be-damned philosophies makes for bad legislation and bad government. Frosting all this with fantasy and exaggeration further undermines the city council’s credibility in Aurora and the region.

There wasn’t even mention of Adams County jail, which has been sideways in the past with the city over efforts to fill that jail after city “reforms.”

The ACLU has filed notice that they think the $100-theftfor-jail scheme has a host of legal issues, similar to a plan the town of Rifle tried and backed away from last year.

Schulte said that Aurora has far more tax-payer funded lawyers at its disposal than Western Slope Rifle, and, essentially, the city attorney’s office is ready to fund a fight against the ACLU. Still, unlike previous city governments, there is no fiscal impact data as lawmakers move the plan ahead.

Nobody is asking for a useless, expensive and inequitable go-to-jail scheme. Businesses want results, not shock-jock talk from city hall or the local AM radio channels.

Retail experts say that clearly marked video surveillance camera systems, mirrors, signage and police or guards visible at the entrance and inside stores really do work in thwarting shoplifters.

The National Association for Shoplifting Prevention says that jailing some convicts reduces recidivism by about 40%, but jail time often leads to other crimes. Educating convicts, as rehab, however, reduces recidivism to 0.3%.

The biggest challenge isn’t the lack of harsh punishment, it’s catching, stopping, holding and turning shoplifters over to police for prosecution.

Rather than waste taxpayer time and money on a proven talk-radio boondoggle, the city should provide grants and low-cost loans for retail security camera systems, signage and mirrors. The city should subsidize police and guards in retail stores, which actually thwarts shoplifters.

But end this bluster over the farcical fantasy that “getting tough” on crime actually reduces crime, or homelessness, or speeding or cheating on taxes.

The answer here is more police, visible in a city that has come to expect them only when they’re called and only for the most dire of situations.

New Aurora city manager says his tenure at city hall is about mapping out the future ‘I’M JUST TRYING TO CONTINUE THE GOOD WORK THAT WE DO DAY IN AND DAY OUT.’

H

aving finally shed his “deputy” and “interim” titles, Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor said Wednesday that he’s focused on filling job openings and planning for Aurora’s future with the help of city lawmakers and employees.

“There’s always things that, as an organization, we can improve on,” Batchelor said Feb. 7.

“I’m just trying to continue the good work that we do day in and

BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer day out.”

Aurora’s city manager oversees the day-to-day operations of the city as well as the hiring and firing of most city employees.

They are also responsible for making sure the policy decisions of Aurora’s City Council are carried out by the rest of the city.

Wednesday marked 10 months to the day since Batchelor took over as the city’s top administrator — first on an interim basis, following Jim Twombly’s retirement in April, and lately as a permanent appointee, after Aurora’s City Council Aurora City Manager Jason picked him for the job in November and watched Batchelor is pictured in front him get sworn in three weeks later. As city manof Mayor Mike Coffman during ager, he’ll earn $330,000 per year.

Batchelor, 49, graduated from the United an Aurora City Council workshop Saturday, States Military Academy in West Point in 1996.

Feb. 3, 2024. After a five-year stint in the Army, he received Photo by Max Levy/ master’s degrees in engineering and public affairs Sentinel Colorado from the University of Texas at Austin.

“I didn’t quite know what I wanted to do when I grew up,” Batchelor said. “And then, early on in my career, I learned about the city management profession, and I was like, ‘I like this. This is really what I want to do.’ I like the ability to directly serve my community and solve problems every day.”

Batchelor interned for the City of Austin and later went to work full-time in that city’s budget office. Describing Texas summers as “long, hot and miserable,” Batchelor said he was grateful when an opportunity arose to serve as a budget officer in Aurora.

Since he and his wife, Peggy, moved to Aurora 15 years ago, Batchelor has worked his way up, being promoted to finance manager and then deputy city manager.

In the latter role, he helped draft the consent decree between Aurora’s public safety agencies and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, and served once before as interim city manager, when Skip Noe stepped down in 2017.

“Whether it was Ron Miller, or Skip Noe, or Jim Twombly, they’ve all been really good city management professionals for me to model myself after,” Batchelor said about the city’s past city managers.

“I really try to have a relationship with not only employees but also elected officials and really understand them, so we can have good communication in terms of what it is they’re trying

to accomplish, and what their concerns are, and what we can do.”

He described an ongoing strategic planning effort as one of his priorities — during a workshop Saturday, city staffers and council members shared ideas for streamlining city government and promoting economic development, community engagement, public health and safety. Batchelor said his office plans to bring back proposals for multi-year projects realizing those ideas back to the council in the spring.

Some of the projects Batchelor said he’s most proud of from his time in Aurora include helping with the development of the Stanley Marketplace and negotiating contracts with Aurora’s police and firefighter unions.

Batchelor’s new job will require him to balance carrying out the will of the majority of the council and maintaining relationships with individual council members, who have been known to publicly clash over policies and personal disagreements.

He said striking a balance involves getting to know the perspective and interests of each council member while setting clear expectations for how he can and can’t help individual lawmakers accomplish their policy goals.

METRO AROUND AURORA

Aurora OKs $1.5M toward $25M-35M replacement of the city’s crowded animal shelter Aurora’s only animal shelter has been pushed to capacity for years, with more dogs and cats jockeying for spots in the facility’s kennels than available spaces.

That could change under a proposal to double or at least increase the space available to house the city’s lost, surrendered and impounded pets, which Aurora’s City Council pledged $1.5 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds to explore Saturday.

“We have one animal shelter in our entire city of 400,000 people,” Councilmember Francoise Bergan said. “I just think it’s a good investment. We don’t really have any other alternatives.”

The funds will be used along with general impact fees and capital project funds to design and create a financial plan for an all-new facility.

Funding for construction could come from certificates of participation with a total face construction cost of between $25 million and $35 million, deputy city manager Laura Perry said Saturday.

Certificates of participation are a long-term financing mechanism that cities use in a way similar to municipal bonds. Unlike bonds, certificates of participation are considered a lease-purchase agreement rather than long-term debt, meaning cities don’t need to get the permission of voters before issuing them.

Councilmember Steve Sundberg questioned whether a warehouse could be repurposed or built for the city’s needs, which city manager Jason Batchelor said the city will investigate once the details of the new facility are determined.

City staffers estimated Saturday that paying for construction using certificates of participation would cost between $1.5 million and $1.8 million annually for 30 years in debt service and interest. More details about the project will be presented to the council at a future meeting.

Besides being a safe space for wayward animals to wait for adoption or transfer to one of the rescues that partners with the shelter, the Aurora Animal Shelter offers vaccinations as well as end-of-life services such as euthanasia and cremation for pet owners. Animals are not euthanized due to the amount of time spent at the shelter or to free up space.

Built in 1983 when the city’s population was less than half its current size, the shelter has pleaded publicly for members of the public to adopt animals and find other places to hand over pets due to crowded conditions.

The situation isn’t as dire as city staffers described Saturday — while Aurora’s director of housing and community services, Jessica Prosser, said the shelter was operating under a “waiver” from the state’s Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act Program that the state could revoke at its discretion, a PACFA representa-

tive later said no such waiver exists and that the shelter is in compliance with state regulations.

City spokesman Michael Brannen wrote in an email that Prosser “misspoke” when she referenced a waiver but said the building is at risk of falling out of compliance as it ages.

Batchelor said Saturday that “absent a new facility, PACFA is likely going to not allow us to continue out of our existing shelter, certainly not in the long term.”

Some council members said they were uncomfortable with the price tag for issuing certificates of participation, which could cost the city up to $54 million, including interest payments, over the life of the deal.

“Between that and our purchase of Crowne Plaza, we’re spending nearly $100 million for people experiencing homelessness (and) animals experiencing homelessness,” Councilmember Curtis Gardner said. “I have a lot of issues with this.”

However, the majority of the council voiced no objections and said they appreciated the need for a new shelter and stressed how the shelter serves a purpose beyond housing lost pets.

Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky described an incident that took place during a ride-along with an animal services officer, during which she said she and the officer responded to a call about dead geese in the road.

She said the geese were ultimately taken to the shelter to be cremated.

“I had to cremate some geese,” Jurinsky said. “So, I mean, this is what is going on at the animal shelter. This isn’t just some big homeless shelter for dogs. This is a part of city government.”

Root could not be reached by phone or through a contact page on his website following the Feb. 9 hearing.

In November, an Arapahoe County jury found Niceta guilty of attempting to influence a public servant, a fourth-degree felony, and making a false report of child abuse, a third-degree misdemeanor.

At 9:10 a.m., Niceta walked into the courtroom without her attorney and sat down at the defendant’s table. The hearing itself didn’t begin until about 9:40 a.m., at which time Elliff announced the postponement.

While the delay means Danielle Jurinsky and Niceta won’t learn Niceta’s fate until April 12, Elliff invited those present to address the court on behalf of the two on Friday. Danielle Jurinsky, her father and Niceta’s former boss took Elliff up on his offer, asking him not to show leniency to Niceta.

Wedded bliss begins with us.

Judge replaces lawyer for ex-social worker who called in fake child abuse tip against Aurora lawmaker The attorney representing Robin Niceta missed another hearing due to illness Friday, prompting a judge to remove him from the case and postpone Niceta’s sentencing for trying to frame an Aurora City Council member for child abuse to April.

Three weeks after attorney Michael Root called into Niceta’s original sentencing hearing and said he couldn’t attend because of “a really bad issue with some health stuff,” Judge Eric Elliff told a courtroom packed with Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky’s supporters that Root had once again fallen “extremely ill.”

Elliff threatened to clear the courtroom when some of Danielle Jurinsky’s supporters chuckled and made sarcastic comments at this announcement.

Since defendants are generally entitled to have their attorney present during sentencing, Elliff said his “hands are absolutely tied” and that he had no choice but to once again postpone Niceta’s sentencing.

“I know it pains all of you, and it pains me,” Elliff said. “I have every sympathy for the victims in this case, for Ms. Niceta’s family members, for

Vanessa Wilson, who was Niceta’s girlfriend at the time.

Niceta faces up to six years in prison and $500,000 in fines for the felony charge and six months’ imprisonment and $750 in fines for the misdemeanor.

Friday’s sentencing was scheduled to start at 9 a.m. As the start time came and went with no sign of Niceta, Danielle Jurinsky paced anxiously through the public gallery, at times huddling with her father and other supporters.

“I’m having a f*****g nervous breakdown, and you can quote me on that,” she said.

She later told reporters that she has “lost sleep” for the past year and a half at the thought of Niceta drop-

adult protection services division manager for Arapahoe County’s Department of Human Services, where Niceta worked as a caseworker at the time of the fake tip — said Niceta’s actions had damaged the reputation of social workers across the state, endangering the lives of children who are genuinely at risk of abuse.

“If one person in our community has doubts about our child welfare system because of Ms. Niceta and hesitates or does not call, a child could really be needlessly injured or killed,” Dossey said. “We believe the punishment should fit the heinous nature of her crimes, and we respectfully request that she be punished to the full extent of the law.”

Jerry Jurinsky told Elliff how he felt helpless as his daughter was investigated and threatened with the loss of custody over his grandson.

He stressed that Niceta acted deliberately and not spontaneously out of anger when she made the hotline call.

During the November trial, investigators presented digital forensic

evidence downloaded from Niceta’s county-issued laptop and cellphone that indicated Niceta looked up information about Danielle Jurinsky and the child abuse hotline’s policies for retaining caller information shortly before the call was placed.

“Every lie and every evil criminal action committed by this defendant against Danielle and our family was planned — not random, spur-of-themoment decisions, but planned and researched,” Jerry Jurinsky said.

“She hoped it would succeed in removing a son from his home and destroying a family.”

Danielle Jurinsky wept openly during her father’s testimony and during her own comments to Elliff, saying Niceta’s actions went beyond intimidation.

“Those allegations were made with the intent of taking my son from me. What that means, your honor, is that those allegations were made with the intent of taking my life from me,” Danielle Jurinsky said.

She also described the ordeal as God’s way of positioning her as a “voice for the voiceless” and holding Niceta accountable for misconduct

that was likely to have taken place before.

“I was chosen for encountering a terror that was Robin Niceta,” Danielle Jurinsky said. “Robin, may God have mercy on your soul. Judge Elliff, please, may you have none.”

After the hearing, she told reporters that the ongoing delays in the case were “nerve-wracking” and that she continues to fear Niceta will try to harm members of her family.

Niceta’s trial on charges that she tried to dupe the court into believing that she was suffering from brain cancer to avoid criminal penalties is scheduled to begin April 29.

Some of Jurinsky’s supporters wore matching T-shirts on Friday that read “All Brains are NOT Made the Same – Team Jurinsky,” which hearing attendee Melissa Ryan described as a tongue-in-cheek allusion to Niceta’s brain cancer claims.

A status hearing in the original case that would include the attorney appointed to replace Root was also set for March 1.

State bill would force school boards, city councils, others to livestream meetings — including Cherry Creek schools While most Aurora governments regularly livestream public meetings, Cherry Creek School District does not. A proposed state law could change that.

From even before the pandemic — when most local school boards and governments began live streaming meetings or holding them remotely — Cherry Creek has been criticized for refusing to broadcast meetings over the internet. The is-

sue was often a topic of discussion during the November school board elections. The district currently only uploads the audio recording of the meeting one day after a school board meeting.

The district does not have a designated school board meeting room.

The school board varies the locations of its meetings in an effort to hold sessions at schools across the expansive school district. School officials have previously cited the irregular locations as an obstacle to livestreaming the meetings.

Directors Anne Egan and Angela Garland, who won their re-election campaigns, said during candidate forums last fall, that while they were open to livestreaming the meetings, they also said that there was value in people attending and delivering public comment in-person.

The two people who challenged Egan and Garland, Steve McKenna and Scott Graves, advocated for live-streaming the meetings. Since losing their election campaigns, they have spoken up at the board meetings and said that they are waiting for the district to live-stream the meetings.

As to whether the school district would be forced to allow for remote public comment even if it were to livestream meetings, current law refers to local governments and school boards. Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, said public bodies are allowed to make their own rules regarding public comment.

House Bill 1168 requires that those allowed to comment remotely be subjected to no more than the same restraints as those who comment in person.

Cherry Creek school board members have scheduled a closed session Monday evening, prior to the regular board meeting, citing legal advice about the impact of the proposed bill.

The bill, introduced Jan. 31 into the House Transportation, Housing and Local Government Committee, states that public bodies must also follow theses requirements: • Must livestream the video or audio of the meeting that is recorded and accessible to people with disabilities • Post any documents that will be distributed during the public meeting on their website at least 24 hours before the meeting • Allow the public to deliver public testimony through a video conference platform unless the location of the meeting does not have broadband internet service.

• Must provide auxiliary aids and services upon request, but may require that people submit these requests at least a week in advance.

The proposed bill does not require public bodies to provide hardware, software, internet or phone access at a person’s home.

House prime sponsors of the bill are state Rep. Meg Froelich, D-Denver, and Manny Rutinel, D-Commerce City. State Sen. Nick Hinrichsen, D-Pueblo, is the prime state Senate sponsor.

The bill is slated for its first hearing in the Transportation, Housing and Local Government Committee at

1:30 p.m. Feb. 21.

Cherry Creek schools will end charter school pact with Colorado Skies Academy Declining enrollment rates and budget deficits are among the reasons why the Cherry Creek school board voted Feb. 12 to cancel the district’s charter school pact with Colorado Skies Academy Charter School.

Without any public discussion, the board unanimously voted against renewing the charter agreement.

Director Anne Egan spoke briefly before the vote, saying that there are concerns about the charter school’s finances and that they are unsure if the school will be viable through the rest of the school year. She added that the school did not have a plan to meet financial obligations.

According to district documents, the charter school has struggled to pay staff salaries and other core expenditures without relying on fundraising and grants.

Egan also mentioned that the school’s enrollment has continued to decline. At its peak, in October 2020, 236 students were enrolled in the charter school. In February 2024, only 105 students were enrolled, according to the district. Like public schools, charter schools receive per-pupil funding. They do not charge families for tuition, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

During the board meeting, charter school employees spoke against the board’s decision to not renew the contract. Christa Coryell, acting director of the school, said the district’s decision to approve only a oneyear extension in 2023 made it difficult for the school to retain teachers and drove families away.

Two parents supported the board’s decision during public comment. Both said that the charter school’s leadership ignored their complaints against a science teacher the parents said retaliated against their child in school.

The charter school did not immediately respond to The Sentinel’s request for comment on Tuesday.

However, according to the state, the school has 30 days to appeal to the State Board of Education.

The aerospace-focused middle school on the campus of the Centennial Airport has had a turbulent relationship with the district for years.

Cherry Creek initially voted not to grant the academy a charter when it initially reached out to seek authorization, but was overruled by the Colorado state board of education.

The district ultimately granted the academy a four-year charter running through the summer of 2023 and said its goal was for the charter school to be “a successful school that ultimately reflects the high standards of the Cherry Creek School District.

The school opened in the fall of 2019 for sixth through eighth grade students, with students attending

Colorado legislators offer bill targeting book bans in school and public libraries Some Colorado lawmakers want to make it harder to pull books from the shelves of public libraries and school libraries, especially when the challenges come from people who live outside the community.

Sen. Bill 24-49 would create a standard process through which books or other library materials could be challenged and outlines the makeup of school district committees that would have the authority to remove books from school libraries. The bill also spells out who can submit a book challenge. At a school library, challengers could be an enrolled student or the parent of a student. At a public library, a resident of the local library district could challenge a book.

The bill, which will be heard by the Senate Education Committee on Feb. 22, comes at a time when book bans and challenges are more prevalent than they’ve been in decades.

Often, those challenging books raise objections about how subjects like race, racism, or LGBTQ issues are handled. In some cases, dozens of challenges originate with one person.

During a press conference Monday in the State Capitol building, Sen. Lisa Cutter, a Jefferson County Democrat and co-sponsor of the bill, framed the measure as a way to ensure young people in Colorado have the freedom to read, including books that “might challenge preconceived notions or present uncomfortable truths.”

While Cutter and others spoke, supporters of the bill, including from the state teachers union, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the LGBTQ advocacy group One Colorado, held up books that have been banned in the past — titles like, “Where the Wild Things Are,” “Hunger Games,” “The Hate U Give,” and “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl.”

Lily Williams, a Colorado teacher and illustrator, also spoke at the press conference, recounting how her graphic novel, “Go With the Flow” was banned in Keller, Texas, in 2022.

The book is about “growing up, best friends and getting your first period,” she said.

Williams, who teaches art at Carlson Elementary in Idaho Springs, talked about meeting a middle school girl during the book tour who confessed that she didn’t have anyone to talk to about puberty.

“When adults censor and ban books, important conversations and questions don’t suddenly stop,” she said. “Those conversations and questions and simply move to a less

safe space.”

Williams said after the press conference that she hopes the bill will provide checks and balances so that book challenges aren’t quite so “freeform.”

The bill specifies that a committee appointed by the school district superintendent would consider challenges to school library books. The committee would include a district administrator, three teachers, three principals, a parent on the District Accountability Committee, and a student or recent graduate. It also would include three parents whose children are students of color or part of the LGBTQ community. The bill says a book could be removed only if the committee unanimously approves.

Cutter’s bill is a response to the book bans debated recently in Douglas County and nationally.

In August, conservative activist Aaron Wood requested the removal of four books that featured LGBTQ content. The Douglas County library board rejected the appeals by Wood.

Nationally, there’s been a surge in book bans, according to the American Libraries Association. From January to August 2023, Colorado libraries heard eight challenges of 136 titles. And across the nation, there were 531 attempts to ban books with over 3,900 book titles challenged from January to August 2023.

The most sweeping challenges have come from a handful of conservative organizations, including Moms for Liberty, according to the Associated Press. Cutter said she doesn’t want that to happen in Colorado, and the bill outlines the criteria for a challenge.

“You can’t just come from out of state,” she said.

Some Colorado education groups want to see the bill amended.

“Obviously, as school administrators, we support access to materials in school. That’s terrific,” said Bret Miles, executive director of the Colorado Association of School Executives.

But he said the bill should be pared down to allow more flexibility because it’s too prescriptive about how school districts make decisions about library books.

“These are the kinds of decisions that are best left to a local community,” he said.

Michelle Murphy, executive director of the Colorado Rural Schools Alliance, said the bill essentially excludes local school boards from developing their own book challenge policies or deciding the makeup of committees in charge of book removal decisions.

She said the alliance is still hoping to work with the bill’s sponsors to come up with amendments that would make it more palatable.

After the press conference, Cutter said she and other lawmakers are working on amendments to the bill.

“We’re trying to relax the committee structure and the process so that it’s not onerous for school districts and rural schools,” she said.

“We started out probably too prescriptive.”

›› CITY MANAGER, from 4

“I try and be clear with them that, while they may have individual policy agendas, it’s my job to get the information that they need to convince their colleagues. It’s not my job to convince their colleagues. That’s their job,” he said.

“I think that’s going well with the council. … It’s something that requires constant attention. Just like with any relationship, you want to make sure that you’re not taking it for granted.”

Under the form of government described by the city’s charter, the city manager also serves as a buffer between city employees and the political interests of individual council members.

The charter allows the council to hire and fire a few top officials such as the city manager, city attorney and municipal judge.

However, council members are forbidden from meddling in the appointment and replacement of the majority of employees, and they can only give orders to those employees through the city manager.

That means a council member who wanted someone hired or fired for political reasons would have to go through the city manager, whose refusal to go along could lead to consequences for their own job.

Aurora’s current council members haven’t withheld their candid opinions about officials serving under the city manager, criticizing and sometimes openly insulting leaders of city departments.

022, Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky referred to then-police chief Vanessa Wilson as “trash” on a talk radio show due to Wilson’s handling of police reform, and Mayor Mike Coffman and other council conservatives lamented the “failure of leadership” in the department after a city consultant raised concerns about a record-keeping backlog.

Wilson was fired not long after these and other comments — she and the city dispute what led up to her firing, with Wilson saying that some council members pressured then-city manager Jim Twombly into firing her because of her efforts to hold cops accountable for misconduct. The city has said Wilson’s firing was apolitical and that she neglected to manage the operations of the police department and engage officers.

When asked how he would respond if he faced pressure to replace an employee for reasons unrelated to their job performance, Batchelor said he would try to understand any council member’s concerns about an employee but that he wouldn’t abdicate his duty to fairly manage the city’s workforce.

Echoing a comment made weeks earlier by Art Acevedo, who resigned as the city’s police chief in January, Batchelor said he is “here to do the job, not keep my job.”

“Ultimately, that’s my decision.

And I’ll handle that, and the councilor could hold me responsible

for the performance of the organization,” he said.

On the topic of Acevedo’s departure, Batchelor said the city is still determining how it wants to proceed with finding someone willing and qualified to serve as chief on more than an interim basis.

The interim chief title has since passed to Heather Morris, a retired Texas police officer who Acevedo invited to join the Aurora Police Department as his second-in-command last year.

Batchelor praised Morris on Wednesday, saying her appointment had promoted stability during the leadership change and that she has done a good job so far of reaching out to officers.

“It’s given me the ability to kind of step back and take some time to think through what’s next,” Batchelor said. “We’ll probably over the coming weeks try to figure out what’s next in terms of filling that position on a permanent basis. We’re just not there yet.”

Batchelor also said Acevedo put the city “back on track” to meeting the goals of the consent decree, which requires the Aurora Police Department and Aurora Fire Rescue to enact dozens of operational changes meant to crack down on racial bias and the use of excessive force by police officers as well as the improper use of sedatives by paramedics.

In 2023, the department implemented many of the reforms in the decree, including by rewriting policies on physical force and constitutional rights, retraining officers on those policies and changing how uses of force are reviewed after the fact.

APD also struggled to produce data quantifying uses of force and the demographics of people contacted by police, which the firm tasked with monitoring the city’s compliance with the decree described as “extremely concerning,” and missed a deadline for anti-bias training.

Batchelor acknowledged that the city made assumptions that have since turned out to be false about the amount of time that it would take to meet some of the goals in the decree.

In some cases, such as the department’s data woes, Batchelor said the delays were due to technological challenges. Other times, like when the department decided to tailor an anti-bias training for Aurora officers, Batchelor said the city and department accepted that it would take more time than initially planned to meaningfully comply with the decree.

“It’s the old adage, right? You don’t know what you don’t know,” he said. “It’s not for lack of effort.

It’s not for lack of trying. It’s not for lack of any of those things. It’s that we want to get it right.”

Batchelor said he is proud of how close the department is to rolling out an online portal that will allow the public to view current enforcement data. He said the portal would become active in the coming weeks.

He also anticipated the department will finish implementing all of the reforms included in the decree “in the next few weeks,” at which point the second phase of the decree will commence, with the monitoring firm following the department’s compliance with the changes for the next three years.

When asked whether he felt any sense of closure following the mixed prosecutions last year of the first responders involved in the homicide of Elijah McClain, which spurred the creation of the decree, Batchelor said he viewed the incident as something the city should find lessons in rather than try to move past.

“It is something that, as an organization, is now part of us,” he said. “It’s something that I think we have to be aware of and continue to learn from.”

As for the most pressing issues facing the city’s administration, Batchelor mentioned the struggles the City of Aurora and businesses face hiring and holding onto qualified employees.

He highlighted the ongoing cooperation between the city’s Human Resources Department and APD, which he said has contributed to the largest police academy cohort seen by the department in years. But he said he wants to figure out what else the city can do to hire and retain employees.

In response to the question of whether he views advocacy on behalf of city staffers to the council as part of his job, Batchelor said the role includes honestly explaining the challenges faced by his administration as well as maintaining high standards among the city’s 3,000-plus employees.

“It’s also about holding people accountable. That’s part of what we do as leaders is make sure that we’re getting performance from the entire organization,” he said.

“Our job as a city is to make sure that the services we’re providing to our residents and our businesses are top-notch. And I want folks to know that they’re very fortunate to have a high-performing organization where there’s thousands of employees who come to work every day to make their quality of life better.”

P

oint by precious point slipped away from the Regis Jesuit girls swim team, which built to a high stakes final race at the Class 5A state meet Feb. 9.

The Raiders had positioned themselves well to end a three-year reign by Cherry Creek atop the classification, but as the championship and consolation finals unfolded, the situation eroded.

Senior Charlotte Burnham’s state championship-winning performance in the 100 yard breaststroke gave Regis Jesuit a slight lead, but coach Nick Frasersmith’s Raiders had to have at least a second place finish in the 400 freestyle relay to secure the proGIRLS SWIMMING gram’s first state title since 2014.

Those four would be major point scorers for the Raiders along with sophomore Lexi Stramel, as they made two championship finals apiece. Burnham finished second in the 50 freestyle, Daum was fifth in the 200 individual medley and 100 backstroke, Stramel finished ninth in both distance freestyle events and Terella was fourth in the 100 butterfly and eighth in the 100 backstroke.

Regis Jesuit finished one place outside of the championship finals in the 200 freestyle (by a mere 0.28 of a second) and slipped one more spot into 12th when Rock Canyon edged them.

That kept four points off their total in the event, while Cherry Creek grabbed 30 more by winning.

The Raiders got back into the lead, however, in the breaststroke as Burnham turned in a personal-best time of 1 minute, 1.90 seconds, for a second straight title. The Cal-Berkeley recruit led three Regis Jesuit swimmers in the finals as Kohl finished seventh and senior Emme Penry 10th. Cherry Creek’s Sydney Fernstrom moved up three spots from prelims to finals (a difference of three points) to put the outcome of the meet on the final event.

The Bruins were the No. 5 seed after prelims, but stacked the final relay and won it by nearly five seconds. Burnham followed junior Elise Kittleson, Terella and senior Amelia Marsicek into the water and closed a gap, but came in 0.73 of a second behind runner-up Heritage and also behind Fairview to see the title slip away.

“When you look back, you can find those three points so many places,” Frasersmith said.

Grandview broke the 200-point mark to finish sixth with help from senior Keira Vail, who was top-seven in two individual events, while senior Kaitlyn Hafer grabbed a fifth in the 100 breasttroke and Vail, fellow senior Amelia Brown and freshmen Jasia Barnes and Makenna Dyk turned in a third-place finish for coach James Boone’s team.

Cherokee Trail got two scoring swims apiece from seniors Sarah Woren and Emme Metzmaker, plus juniors Ella Drakulich and Ava Zadigan and sophomore Aria Clouse on its way to its highest finish in program history. Sophomores Cameryn Walkup and Mya Noffsinger scored in two events apiece for Smoky Hill, with Walkup taking fifth in the 200 freestyle and sixth in the 500 freestyle as city’s top distance freestyler.

Touched out Three teams beat Burnham to the wall, however, as the Bruins snatched a three-point victory in the closest state competition in more than a decade. Regis Jesuit finished with 359 points to the 362 generated by Cherry Creek, which swept the relays and won five total events.

The Raiders — who lost

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor major points when they failed to qualify for the championship finals in the 200 freestyle relay — instead finished second for a second straight season. Grandview took sixth, Cherokee Trail ninth and Smoky Hill 18th in a strong local showing.

“I was proud of them, and they fought hard,” Frasersmith said. “They were a great team that was so supportive of each other from Day One. They wanted each other to do so well, so it’s tough to see a group of girls who worked so hard lose it by such a little bit.”

Regis Jesuit collected 41 points in the diving competition Feb. 7 as seniors Maya Kriz and Sarah Mann finished second and third. Kriz finished second to Fossil Ridge’s Sydney Ovesen by just 3.2 points — which kept three points away from the Raiders — while Mann finished in third place for a second straight season.

Things started out in a promising way in the 200 medley relay with a second-place finish for Burnham, fellow senior Tierney Kohl and freshmen Natalie Daum and Ava Terella.

AURORA LAWMAKERS WILL VOTE ON ANTI-SHOPLIFTING BILL OVER ACLU’S OBJECTIONS

The proposal would mandate jail time for conviction of shoplifting $100 or more in merchandise

BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Colorado Staff Writer

S

hoplifters who steal merchandise worth $100 or more from Aurora stores would be automatically jailed under a proposal that the Aurora City Council’s conservative majority endorsed last week and passed out of study session Feb. 12.

Currently, retail thieves who steal $300 or more in goods trigger the automatic three-day jail sentence included in the mandatory minimum sentencing law that the council passed in 2022.

The proposal sponsored by Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky would lower that threshold to $100. It would also impose special penalties for repeat offenders — a 90-day minimum jail sentence for anyone convicted of one prior retail theft offense and a 180-day minimum sentence for people who have been convicted at least twice.

“Our constituents have asked for it,” Councilmember Stephanie Hancock said during the Feb. 8 meeting of the council’s public safety policy committee. “We need to let people know that we’re open for business, and we’re closed to crime. If you steal, there is a penalty for that. It’s about accountability, and responsibility, and people need to get a clear message with regards to that.”

The committee consisting of Hancock, Jurinsky and Councilmember Steve Sundberg unanimously endorsed the proposal moving forward to Monday’s study session, where the council’s conservative majority indicated its desire to vote it into law at a future meeting.

Year-end crime statistics published by the Aurora Police Department indicate 1,702 incidents of shoplifting were reported in 2023 by Dec. 24 — an increase of about 35.5% from 2022, when 1,256 incidents were reported during the same time period.

Aurora’s former interim police chief, Art Acevedo, previously commented that the uptick in reports doesn’t necessarily reflect an increase in crime, as business owners have become more willing to cooperate with police to follow up on shoplifting.

Shortly before the committee meeting, the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado contacted the council to weigh in on Jurinsky’s ordinance, warning that it could violate the Colorado Constitution’s promise of equal protection under the law, since the city’s retail theft laws would be tougher than the state’s.

The letter that the ACLU sent to the council and other city officials said state law allows the combined value of items stolen within six months to be aggregated for the purposes of penalties but that, as long as the total value of the items is less than $1,000, the maximum jail sentence that can be imposed under statute is 120 days.

The ACLU also mentioned how, last year, the City of Rifle acquiesced to a legal challenge to its municipal code, which included terms of imprisonment for theft that were 18 times greater than the state penalty, after Colorado’s Supreme Court agreed to consider an appeal by two shoplifting defendants, according to Colorado Politics.

“Aurora’s authority to prohibit theft cannot be used in a way that violates the state constitutional guarantee of equal protection,” ACLU attorneys Laura Moraff and Cat Ordoñez wrote. “Passing the ordinance would expose the city to additional expenses as organizations seek to invalidate the unconstitutional penalties.”

When chief public defender Elizabeth Cadiz asked about the letter during the committee meeting, Pete Schulte of the City Attorney’s Office said Aurora is free to impose tougher penalties than those established by the state because of the privileges afforded by Aurora’s status as a home-rule city.

He also said Rifle’s decision to bring its municipal penalties for theft into line with the state’s stemmed from the fact that Rifle is a relatively small city with a limited budget to fight state supreme court cases.

“If the City Council passes this ordinance and says this is the law of the land and that shoplifting is not welcome in the city of Aurora, then we will do what we need to do,” Schulte said. “We’re on a very good legal foundation to support this ordinance if it passes.”

He also said he was irritated by the fact that the ACLU reached out to the council directly without looping in any city attorneys, bringing up how state ethical rules generally prohibit an attorney from contacting an opposing attorney’s client directly.

“I appreciate the ACLU,” Schulte said. “I just wish, before they start giving legal advice to our city council members, that they make sure they have a full understanding of what the law is.”

He said the municipal court has observed “a lot of people” stealing just under $300 worth of merchandise since the previous mandatory minimum sentencing law passed, which he said indicates that at least some thieves are familiar with but undeterred by existing penalties.

Jurinsky said she would be willing to sponsor an item lowering the threshold even further if a similar trend emerged once the new shoplifting penalties were enacted.

Hancock and Sundberg were vocal in their support for Jurinsky’s anti-shoplifting proposal.

“On the national level, in certain cities, you’re seeing that urban decay,” Sundberg said. “What you’re seeing are stores and retail operations with already-minimal profit margins pulling out. … We don’t want to be like those places.”

To illustrate the seriousness of retail theft in the city, Hancock and Jurinsky both said they had heard from property owners involved in the Havana Business Improvement District that one of the city’s Goodwill stores is considering shutting down due to frequent shoplifting, which Jurinsky said was “beyond an embarrassment.”

Goodwill of Colorado spokeswoman Stephanie Bell later said the organization’s decision not to renew the lease on its Mississippi Avenue outlet store at the end of May was “not related to shoplifting in any way, shape or form” and was instead part of a planned consolidation of the store into a location in Westminster. She added that the store’s 42 employees

are being offered comparable positions at nearby Goodwill stores.

Hancock wrote in a text message that she did not remember who informed her about the Goodwill store closing.

As for where repeat offenders would serve their sentences, Schulte said Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown had expressed that he is willing to work with the city on the incarceration of shoplifters at the Arapahoe County Detention Center if the ordinance is passed by the entire council. The city’s jail is only permitted to hold inmates for 72 hours.

Ginger Delgado, a spokeswoman for the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, wrote in an email that Brown is aware of the ordinance but wants to learn more about the potential impacts on capacity at the county jail and the City of Aurora’s budget before making a commitment.

Cadiz also said the bill would likely increase the workload of the public defender’s office, which is appointed in municipal court cases where an indigent defendant could face jail time, as well as the frequency of defendants taking plea deals, due to the perception that the county jail is more “scary and intimidating” than the city’s jail.

“I need to find out what’s going on in these county jails,” Jurinsky quipped. “We’re not doing something right.”

The original version of the ordinance specified that the first three days of the 90- and 180-day jail sentences would be served in the city’s jail, after which a repeat offender would be transferred to county jail.

On Monday, Jurinsky amended the ordinance to remove the language specifying where an offender would serve their sentence, to allow judges to order defendants to serve the entirety of their sentence in county jail.

When Councilmember Alison Coombs asked during Monday’s study session whether city staffers had statistics on the jail sentences handed down under the current mandatory minimum sentencing law, Schulte said they did not but that it is something the city is “working on.”

“I understand what you’re saying about getting the data, but I don’t think it changes the intent of the ordinance,” Councilmember Francoise Bergan told Coombs.

“I think it changes the credibility of our decision-making as a body,” Coombs replied.

The committee and a majority of the council also endorsed a proposal to send convicted “dine-and-dash” perpetrators to jail for three days if they defraud restaurants for $15 or more.

That, too, is slated to move forward for a vote.

Jurinsky and Sundberg, who both own bars and restaurants in the city, said during the committee meeting that other restaurant owners have asked the city to do more to discourage diners from skipping out on their bills. They said many restaurateurs are either too busy or feel like the city doesn’t do enough to justify calling the police.

“We’re watching them walk out of our places,” Jurinsky said. “My hope is that, because of this, we start to get that, and the message is made clear that they should at least call and report it.”

COLORADO HONORS LUNAR NEW YEAR, AURORA LED THE PARADE

BY DEEPA BHARATH, Associated Press

O

n Feb. 10, Asian American communities around the U.S. officially began ringing in the Year of the Dragon with community carnivals, family gatherings, parades, traditional food, fireworks and other festivities. In many Asian countries, it is a festival that is celebrated for several days. In diaspora communities, particularly in cultural enclaves, Lunar New Year is visibly and joyfully celebrated.

In the Chinese zodiac, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon. Different countries across Asia celebrate the new year in many ways and may follow a different zodiac.

Last year, Gov. Jared Polis signed into law a statewide designation for the Lunar New Year. The law was in response to an increase in Asian-community hate crimes, a product of misinformation about the roots of the COVID-19 pandemic. Colorado and California are the only two states designating Lunar Near Year as a holiday, despite large AAPI communities across the nation.

On Havana Street was among a handful of local groups offering traditional Lunar New Year celebrations, this year on Feb. 4 outside the Stampede on Havana Street. Entertainment, fire-crackers and lion dancers rang in the year in traditional style. Read on for information about the history of celebrations and variations among the Asian diaspora.

What is the Lunar New Year?

The Lunar New Year — known as the Spring Festival in China, Tet in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea — is a major festival celebrated in several Asian countries. It is also widely celebrated by diaspora communities around the world.

It begins with the first new moon of the lunar calendar and ends 15 days later on the first full moon. Because the lunar calendar is based on the cycles of the moon, the dates of the holiday vary slightly each year, falling between late January and mid-February.

How do diaspora communities celebrate?

Members of Asian American communities around the U.S. also organize parades, carnivals and festivities around the Lunar New Year featuring lion and dragon dances, fireworks, traditional food and cultural performances. In addition to cleaning their homes, many buy new things for their home such as furniture and decorate using orchids and other brightly colored flowers.

Lunar New Year is also celebrated as a cultural event by some Asian American Christians and is observed by several Catholic dioceses across the U.S. as well as other churches.

What are some special foods for the new year?

Each culture has its own list of special foods during the new year, including dumplings, rice cakes, spring rolls, tangerines, fish and meats.

In the Chinese culture, for example, “changshou mian” or “long-life noodles” are consumed with a wish for a long, healthy and happy life. In Vietnamese culture, banh chung and banh tet — traditional dishes made from glutinous rice — are a must for the celebrations. To make a banh tet, banana leaves are lined with rice, soft mung beans and pork belly and rolled into a tight log, which is then wrapped in the leaves and tied up with strings. Koreans celebrate with tteokguk, a brothy soup that contains thinly sliced rice cakes.

What are the animals of the zodiac?

Each year honors an animal based on the Chinese zodiac. The circle of 12 animals — the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig — measure the cycles of time. Legend has it that a god beckoned all animals to bid him farewell before his departure from earth and only 12 of them showed up. The Vietnamese zodiac is slightly different, honoring the cat instead of the rabbit and the buffalo instead of the ox.

What are some beliefs and traditions around the Lunar New Year?

One well-known ancient legend speaks of Nian, a hideous monster that feasted on human flesh on New Year’s Day. Because the beast feared the color red, loud noises and fire, people put up red paper dragons on their doors, burned red lanterns all night and set off firecrackers to frighten and chase away the monster.

To this day, the Lunar New Year celebration is centered around removing bad luck and welcoming all that is good and prosperous. Red is considered an auspicious color to ring in the new year. In many Asian cultures, the color symbolizes good fortune and joy.

People dress up in red attire, decorate their homes with red paper lanterns and use red envelopes to give loved ones and friends money for the new year, symbolizing good wishes for the year ahead. Gambling and playing traditional games is common during this time across cultures.

Ancestor worship is also common during this time.

Many Korean families participate in a ritual called “charye,” where female family members prepare food and male members serve it to ancestors. The final step of the ceremony, called “eumbok,” involves the entire family partaking the food and seeking blessings from their ancestors for the coming year. Vietnamese people cook traditional dishes and place them on a home altar as a mark of respect to their ancestors.

Some Indigenous people also celebrate Lunar New Year this time of year, including members of Mexico’s Purepecha Indigenous group.

The event showcases some of the best of American art from the Washington, D.C.-based The Phillips Collection, one of the most celebrated collections of American art in the United States.

These landmark works encompass more than 140 years of unexpected visual conversations between American artists about what connects us as humans.

With works by more than 50 artists including Benny Andrews, Arthur G. Dove, Childe Hassam, Jacob Lawrence, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, and more, the show explores American art from the birth of the modernist spirit at the end of the nineteenth century through post-war American painting in the mid-twentieth century and into the twenty-first century, with artists exploring the important issues of today.

Founded by Duncan Phillips in 1921, The Phillips Collection opened to the public as America’s first museum of modern art. All Stars: American Artists from The Phillips Collection is the second large-scale, traveling presentation of The Phillips’ celebrated collection to be shown at the DAM, chronicling the broad scope of its holdings.

(receipt no. 10033804). The applicant claims ownership of this land and control of the groundwater in this aquifer underlying this property. The groundwater from this allocation is proposed to be used on the described property for the following beneficial uses: drinking water and other household use within the Servants of Christ Jesus’s Group Home and for irrigation purposes for landscaping around the home.

In accordance with section 37-90-107(7), the Colorado Ground Water Commission shall allocate groundwater from the above aquifers based on ownership of the overlying land. A preliminary evaluation of the application finds the volume of water available for allocation from the Denver aquifer

underlying the above-described property to be 978.14 acre-feet. The amount in the Denver aquifer represents a reduction in the volume of water available for allocation due to the existence of a small capacity well, permit no. 125413 (canceled) and repermitted under permit no. 330537, withdrawing water from beneath the described property. This amount is subject to final evaluation, and subsequent to issuance of the determination, adjustment to conform to the actual local aquifer characteristics.

In accordance with section 37-90-107(7) (a), well permits issued pursuant to subsection 107(7) shall allow withdrawals on the basis of an aquifer life of one hundred years.

In accordance with Rule 5.3.6 of the Designated Basin Rules preliminary evaluation of the application finds the replacement water requirement status for the Denver aquifer underlying the above-described property to be not-nontributary (4% replacement).

Upon Commission approval of determinations of rights to the allocations, well permits for wells to withdraw the allocations shall be available upon application, subject to the conditions of each determination, the Designated Basin Rules, and approval by the Commission. Such wells must be completed in the aquifer for which the right was allocated and must be located on the 40.03 acres of the above described property.

Any person wishing to object to the approval of this determination of right to the allocation must do so in writing, briefly stating the nature of the objection, the name of the applicant, a general description of the property, and the specific aquifer and related receipt number of the application that is the subject of the objection. The objection, including a required $10 fee per application being objected to, must be received by the Colorado Ground Water Commission by close of business March 23, 2024. Objections should be sent via email to DWRpermitsonline@state.co.us, upon which the objector will be emailed an invoice for paying the fee online. If the objector is unable to provide the objection via email please contact 303-866-3581.
