CLOSER LOOK

Aurora police offer the public a detailed view of crime and interactions with the community

Feckless tirade reviling immigrants, homeless people makes Aurora look like an intolerant village of racists

Hats off to Mayor Mike Coffman and council members Danielle Jurinsky and Steve Sundberg for ringing the bell with a perfect score of 100 in their push for an anti-immigrant, anti-homeless resolution headed to the full city council.

There is not a single laudable or redeemable thing about this divisive, ham-handed attempt to dehumanize and denigrate the most vulnerable people in the region.

So far, Coffman, Jurinsky and Sundberg have sponsored, or voiced their support for, the resolution they say is intended to keep the flood of immigrants stressing Denver from further spilling into Aurora.

It does no such thing.

As written, the manifesto serves only to make Aurora appear to be run by a clown-car of racist NIMBYs.

Here’s how bad this is:

First, the sponsors drag back the humiliating 2017 declaration that Aurora is “not a sanctuary city.” That fiasco hails back to a previous Donald Trump-invoked controversy over U.S. cities refusing to have their local police departments work with ICE units to round up undocumented immigrants for deportation. The Trump regime branded such municipalities “sanctuary cities.”

Aurora police were steadfast in making it clear that local police cannot ask, determine or act on citizen status without creating a huge danger for the entire community. Turning local police into ICE agents would drive immigrants far underground, making them targets for crime and pressing them to flee even from minor or major car crashes.

DAVE PERRY Editor

With Trump in the ears of conservatives at the time, the city council pressed ahead, shocking Aurora, including the tens of thousands of immigrants and minorities who call Aurora home.

A meaningless and divisive stunt, it was quickly ignored and forgotten, until now.

Coffman, Jurinsky and Sundberg in this resolution point back to the offensive proclamation to remind the city just how close Trump is to running the show here.

It only gets worse from there.

The document nukes any hope for ensuring regional issues like homelessness, immigration, crime and disease be handled on a regional basis, something that Coffman has repeatedly campaigned for and never delivered.

This edict creates layers of “us” versus “them.” It’s Aurora versus Denver or Fort Morgan. It’s “American” homeless people versus “immigrant” homeless people, the “others.”

It treats a looming humanitarian crisis right here in Aurora and across the metroplex like an inconvenient zoning question no one here asked for. Declaring from the city council dais that, “it sucks to be them,” is something everyone expects from Texas and Florida, not from Colorado, and never from Aurora.

Despite the cruelty and racism weaved into this sanction, clownishly concealed with the government-ese equivalent of “some of my best friends are homeless immigrants,” the structure of the conceit is fatally flawed.

As written, it resolves that “the City Council demands organizations cease the transportation of migrants and those experiencing homelessness into Aurora without an agreement to address the financial impact and coordination of services.”

Really? Which “migrants” and which of “those who are homeless?” Veterans? Children? Any of all of the thousands of homeless people in the region living in cars and on streets long before the wave of Venezuelan “legal refugees” arrived in the region? And to which service facilities? The ones the city has aided but not operated? The ones that have received federal state and other pass-through money that did not come from Aurora taxpayers? Catholic churches?

Despite the passionate wishes of Jurinsky, Coffman and Sundberg, city council “resolutions” are not ordinances and laws.

Jurinsky erroneously believes police can “write tickets” to Uber drivers and church van drivers for running Venezuelan immigrants, homeless vets or any other homeless person to Aurora doctor appointments, or to get food or to attend school in Au-

rora, where immigrant, homeless children are already enrolled.

The United States precludes such Stasi-like antics, from the Constitution on down.

Councilman Curtis Gardner, who voted against the resolution, called it “divisive.” He pointed out that, as written, it would force city employees and emergency workers to determine the residency status of just about everyone seeking anything from the city just to comply with this blunder. “The City Council resolves it will not allocate public funds, services, or staff resources for migrant support.”

That would include libraries, ambulance services, police reporting or water leaks at a house where immigrants are living.

Jurinsky dismissed Gardner’s well-founded appraisal, saying that city employees would have to rely on common sense in carrying out the wishes of those city lawmakers who agree with all this.

Clearly, common sense abandoned this council clique long ago.

Residents can only appeal to the other eight city lawmakers to kill this hateful pronouncement.

Instead, Aurora, Denver and other local municipalities must demand that the state and federal government provide money and other emergency resources to manage what is nothing short of a crisis, affecting not just the tens of thousands of immigrants who have arrived here, but everyone else in the region. If Congress abandons the region, area businesses and governments should just begin hiring these immigrants, who have made repeatedly clear, they just want to work. And since this city council has repeatedly demonstrated that “work first” is their preference for anyone receiving homeless services, this should be a no-brainer.

These three Aurora Republicans should instead appeal to their GOP political comrades in the House and Senate, who recently bent to a demand by Trump to create local immigrant chaos just like this.

End these politicized histrionics now and work to solve this critical problem. Lawmakers here and across the region must protect the lives of these immigrants and everyone else.

Effort to ‘fix’ Colorado open records act would be ruinous

Few things ensure effective and honest government in Colorado, or anywhere, like accountability and scrutiny.

A well-meaning but ill-conceived, bi-partisan legislative proposal puts that at risk.

Colorado residents have benefited greatly from the Colorado Open Records Act since it was signed into law in 1969. The measure insists that government records, from all levels of government, belong to the public and must be open for inspection.

The enormous power behind this law has ensured for decades that every government official and employee at every level is held accountable to the public for their actions.

What journalists call “CORA” has also prevented misuse and corruption in government because those who work there and lead know that scrutiny is only a records request away.

President Ronald Reagan with his worn trope, “Trust but verify,” wisely summed up what the state’s open record law really does.

The power of CORA has resulted in a vast catalog of government wrongs, exposed by the media, often being made right.

Statewide, news investigations made possible by the Colorado Open Records Act have exposed egregious mismanagement of child welfare cases. Investigations by Colorado Sun reporter Jennifer Brown resulted in a state reviews and policy changes to ensure the safety of children under state care and observation.

Reporter Chris Vanderveen at 9News used CORA to reveal that Colorado courts ignored endless orders for domestic violence suspects to relinquish guns, with sometimes fatal consequences.

Just last year, the Sentinel and collaborat-

ing Colorado media used CORA to uncover a virtual registry of dubious actions by Aurora police and how they were shielding or rehiring officers the public thought were gone from police service.

Reporters have used CORA for decades for stories that have shone a light on issues such as illegally selling body parts, corruption in special districts, illegal hirings and firings and dozens of stories that have prompted change for the public good.

All that is in serious jeopardy because of House Bill 1296, sponsored by representatives Cathy Kipp, D-Fort Collins, and Matt Soper, R-Delta.

In reaction to complaints from government employees and other officials, alleging that CORA requirements are everything from inconvenient to cumbersome, the bill seeks to separate records requests that are deemed malicious or requested from businesses for the sole purpose of turning a profit.

Reacting to complaints that providing government records to the media, or anyone, “takes away” from other duties highlights pervasive misbeliefs.

Government officials are custodians of public records, not owners. Since accurate records are integral to the operation of any organization, especially government, managing those records is as fundamental to the duties of every government agency as is filling potholes, writing speeding tickets, making sure teachers get paid and issuing wedding licenses.

The law is written to make clear that it is not the job of the media, nor the public, to prove why records should be made available, the burden is on the government to defend

why someone in government believes any records should be withheld.

Given the clear intent and history of CORA, changes offered by HB 1296 are anathema to its mission.

The most dangerous among these proposed changes are an addition to law that seeks to protect the “personal privacy” of government employees and elected officials.

Colorado case law already ensures that releasing personal data such as home addresses, Social Security numbers and similar items is off limits.

A likely target for those wishing to shield “personal privacy” records of government employees would be personnel files. If the Sentinel had not been able to review personnel records of Aurora police officers, we would have been unable to reveal in a story last year how the former acting police chief protected a police commander who was admonished for helping another police officer violate a restraining order in a divorce dispute.

Government employee records are sometimes essential to explaining the actions of government and government officials.

Creating a vague and dangerous “personal privacy” criteria for withholding records would cripple this important tool for media.

The proposed dangerous new standard likely hails from a desire to protect government workers and elected officials from nefarious, malicious uses of the CORA. So called “doxxing” attempts through the records act have already been cited as grounds for denying CORA requests.

In an attempt to drive off nefarious queries, this bill creates a new term and process, allowing records custodians to tab some re-

questers “vexatious.”

In theory, record custodians would be able to use this label against someone working to create political havoc from emails or other records that might have some sensational value.

It relies on defining a journalist as anyone who works for the “mass media.” Under that definition, any political propaganda website calling its product “news” gets around a “vexatious” label.

Far-right “news” sites such as former GOP gubernatorial Heidi Ganahl’s new Rocky Mountain Voice, or Colorado Peak Politics, and Complete Colorado would qualify as journalism, exempt from “vexatious” scrutiny.

Besides proposing collateral damage to the Colorado Open Records Act, the bill is asking lawmakers to further increase the cost of requests, allowing governments to assess requesters up to $40 an hour.

News media across the state have been given estimates of records requests that run into the tens of thousands of dollars.

Already, the cost is formidable, especially for cash-strapped newsrooms already struggling.

Everyone can sympathize with government employees forced to do more with less. But public scrutiny of government operations isn’t a luxury task or any less important than ensuring employees get paid and that services are carried out efficiently.

Enacting these measures would enable government fraud and deceit to withdraw into the shadows and thrive.

House sponsors should withdraw this bill and open up discussions statewide to help find reasonable solutions to criticisms.

Aurora’s creating a new opportunity for affordable housing

Aurora has an opportunity, and I am excited to be part of it.

A recent national study by Point2 analyzing real estate trends ranked Aurora ninth on a list of places where Generation Z has the best chance of owning a home. This on the heels of the State of the State in Colorado where Gov. Jared Polis declared that “we must create more housing in our state that Coloradans at all income levels can rent or buy in the communities where they want to live.” I agree. In Aurora we strive to be that model and are committed to exploring out-of-the-box housing options.

On Feb. 12, the Aurora City Council unanimously passed a resolution that I sponsored to streamline the development of modular housing and reduce as many related fees as possible to make that type of housing a reality in Aurora more quickly. This resolution demonstrates our commitment to embracing innovative housing solutions to reduce housing costs for builders and consumers. Modular homes are built on permanent foundations to the same standards and quality of homes built on-site yet more affordably because more than 60% of each home is constructed in a factory setting, then transported and finished on property.

Early indicators suggest that modular housing can increase the overall supply of housing. Construction timelines can be more than 50% faster than site-built construction and deliver double the number of homes in the same amount of time at approximately the same cost. These are numbers and opportunities we cannot ignore.

As a public servant who deeply cares about this community, we simply must look for opportunities to make housing more affordable to current and prospective Au-

rora residents. And while we are excited to be included on a list that shows that we are moving in the right direction, it is important that we are making housing affordable for everyone who lives and works here. This housing crisis will not be solved by one city or community alone. It requires all of us across the state to work together on innovative solutions that simultaneously meet and account for the unique needs of each community.

Unlike traditional on-site homebuilding, the state is responsible for the inspections of modular homebuilding that occurs in one spot in a factory setting and ensures compliance with the International Building Code. We are asking the state to alleviate duplicate inspection efforts and reduce costs. Cities and the state share the goal of increasing inventory of more affordable housing for everyone who wants to live in the same communities where they work.

As highlighted in our resolution, housing affordability is an issue across the country. This state is no exception where in December 2023 the Colorado Association of

Realtors reported that the median closing price in Colorado rose by 42.7% over the last five years and home sales were down 19.1%.

There are a lot of factors that contribute to housing affordability including inventory, unemployment rates, and home price-to-income ratios. And we have a lot of work to do before we have successfully addressed the housing crisis in Aurora, or Colorado, for that matter. Affordable housing is not a spectator sport, and it will require that we collectively roll up our sleeves and innovate new solutions to how we build housing.

As a member of council and Chair of Planning and Economic Development, I am proud that Aurora is stepping up and making housing a policy priority by being the first city to sign up for Proposition 123 to increase our affordable housing supply while at the same time identifying creative and cost-efficient approaches to addressing the existing shortage.

Aurora has an opportunity. But it is time sensitive. And we are starting now. Our Mayor and City Council agree that better policy and a strategic plan can be a game changer and lead the way for original solutions to more affordable housing for the people who live and work in Colorado. These are complicated issues and there are not easy solutions. We cannot delegate this issue to one sector or expect that the answers will come without compromise and a commitment to working together.

Councilmember Francoise Bergan, now in her third term, was first elected to the Aurora City Council in 2015 and represents Ward VI in Southeast Aurora. She is the Chairperson of the Planning & Economic Development Committee, Vice-Chair of the Transportation, Airport & Public Works

UCHEALTH SUES THOUSANDS

OF PATIENTS EVERY YEAR. BUT YOU WON’T FIND ITS NAME ON THE

About This Story

“Diagnosis: Debt Colorado” is a reporting partnership among Colorado newsrooms led by KFF Health News and the Colorado News Collaborative exploring the scale, impact and causes of medical debt in Colorado. The ongoing series builds on KFFHealth News’s award-winning reporting on medical debt in the United States.

The ring sparkled: 18-karat white gold, double-banded, with a 1.5-carat diamond at its center.

It was the ring that Cathy Woods-Sullivan’s late husband had given to her on their wedding day, a family heirloom. Other than their two teenage daughters, it was the most precious thing she had left.

She handed it forward to the pawnbroker feeling sick to her stomach.

He looked at her, then at the ring, then back up at her.

“I’m going to hold onto it for a little while,” he said.

But Woods-Sullivan knew she wouldn’t be back.

She needed the money to pay off a debt to UCHealth, Colorado’s largest hospital system, one that collects more than $6 billion a year in revenue from patient care.

“We improve lives,” UCHealth touts in its mission statement.

But this same system sues thousands of its patients like Woods-Sullivan every year, according to a 9News/Colorado Sun investigation done in partnership with the Colorado News Collaborative and KFF Health News.

What’s more, many of these lawsuits are shielded from public scrutiny through a system in which collection companies working with UCHealth file lawsuits in their own names. Taken together, UCHealth and these

LAWSUITS.

companies filed 15,710 lawsuits from 2019 through 2023, UCHealth revealed in response to questions from 9News and the Colorado Sun. That is an average of 3,142 lawsuits per year, or more than eight per day.

In the last four years, virtually none of the lawsuits have been filed in UCHealth’s name.

“They are essentially deliberately using those third-party collection agencies to obscure the fact that they are the ones suing the patients,” said Adam Fox, the deputy director of the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, a consumer-advocacy group that helps patients in disputes over medical bills. “It makes it really hard for the patient to untangle.”

One of these debt collection companies working for UCHealth sued Woods-Sullivan over a bill from an emergency visit for chest pains. She tried at first to fight in court, then eventually entered into a payment plan to settle the case.

But when the stress of arguing with the debt collector over how much she still owed after every check was too much, she decided she wanted to be done.

She looked through her house for something she could sell.

“It was beautiful, beautiful,” she said of her ring. “But I had to do what I had to do. I was tired of getting the runaround.

“It was all I had.”

Woods-Sullivan owed UCHealth $1,634.34.

The health system, which as a nonprofit community institution is exempt from paying taxes, recorded $839 million in total profits last year.

Hundreds of lawsuits a month

In a given year, UCHealth’s network of 14 hospitals and more than 200 clinics treats almost 3 million unique patients — a number equivalent to roughly half the state’s population.

From those patients, UCHealth estimates that 99.93% of bills are resolved without involving the courts.

“Our job is to stay out of the courts,” UCHealth’s chief legal officer, Jacki Cooper Melmed said. “That is the very last resort.”

The amount UCHealth collects from lawsuits is about $5 million per year, according to the health system. That represents 0.07% of the net patient revenue that UCHealth reported receiving last year.

UCHealth officials argue the lawsuits are an unfortunate necessity in the health care business, where sometimes bills go unpaid and hospitals need money to continue operating.

“I can tell you it is a common practice,” Cooper Melmed, the chief legal officer, said. “I don’t think UCHealth is an outlier here.”

But not all large hospital systems in Colorado choose to pursue patients this way. The second-largest hospital system in the state, for-profit HealthONE, says it does not sue patients over debt. AdventHealth and Banner Health, two other large nonprofit hospital systems operating in Colorado, also said they do not sue patients.

SCL Health, which is a nonprofit like UCHealth, had sued hundreds of patients in Colorado per year under its own name,

according to an analysis of court records. But when the system merged with Intermountain Health in 2022, it stopped.

“This was done to better align with our mission,” Intermountain spokeswoman Sara Quale wrote in an email.

The Sun and 9News found at least two other hospital systems in Colorado — nonprofits CommonSpirit Health and Children’s Hospital Colorado — that admit to using debt collectors to file lawsuits on their behalf but not under their name. Because of this, it is unclear how often they sue patients.

Some hospitals are more transparent in their litigation. A spokesman for National Jewish Health wrote in an email that, “If a lawsuit is deemed necessary, we use our own name in all matters.”

Cooper Melmed defended UCHealth’s use of collections vendors and the system of having them file lawsuits under their names. She said she believes there is “complete transparency” with patients about where the suits are coming from, and she said having the lawsuits in UCHealth’s name would confuse patients.

“It would make less sense, honestly, to do that because the debt at that point is assigned to the vendor,” she said. “So the real party who has control over the suit is the vendor.”

According to UCHealth, patients receive information about prices and available financial assistance even before their scheduled visit. They then receive as many as seven financial assistance letters, four billing statements and two phone calls before the bill is sent to collectors, who then conduct their own outreach efforts.

Of those who get sued, Cooper Melmed said: “We are talking about the tiniest fraction of patients that we simply cannot partner with earlier in the process.”

At least, that’s how UCHealth says it’s supposed to work.

‘It’s the system.’

In 2021, Aurora resident Lorena Sanchez was involved in an accident on Interstate 25 just north of Colorado Springs as she, her husband and two other family members were on their way to visit relatives in Mexico.

Sanchez, who was uninsured, was taken to UCHealth Memorial Hospital North, where doctors performed an X-ray and a CT scan, according to medical

paperwork she showed The Sun and 9News.

Later that spring, she said, she received a bill for more than $24,000.

She was shocked and began visiting and calling the hospital frequently to ask about financial assistance. Finally, in March 2022, more than a year after the accident, Sanchez received a letter from UCHealth.

“According to federal poverty guidelines and the documentation that we received, your application has been APPROVED for Charity assistance,” the letter stated.

It told Sanchez that she was entitled to a 73% discount on hospital charges. Her $24,000 bill had just become $6,000. It was still a lot of money, but it was massively less daunting.

Then, in July 2023, almost twoand-a-half years after the accident, there was a knock at her door. On the other side stood a man serving her with a lawsuit by Credit Service Company. The amount allegedly owed: $24,528.87.

“I said there’s a misunderstanding,” she said. “There’s something going on.”

After questions from The Sun and 9News, UCHealth spokesman Dan Weaver said Sanchez’s experience was the result of billing errors that caused her financial assistance not to show up correctly in the hospital’s billing system. UCHealth has fixed the issue and CSC amended its lawsuit against Sanchez to reflect the lower amount, Weaver said.

Today, Sanchez is still making payments — $150 a month, a rate that will see her pay off the debt around the start 2027. She said her blood pressure and anxiety levels have skyrocketed since the accident, largely, she believes, tied to the debt and billing issues. She said she tells friends to avoid hospitals as much as possible, “unless you can’t breathe or you are bleeding.”

She has, in short, become an example of a particular kind of health care failure: A patient who says her treatment made her sicker. A patient who believes the hospital causes more injury than the accident.

“It’s not the doctors or the nurses,” she said. “It’s the system. It’s being organized for this.”

Aurora council panel moves anti-immigrant resolution forward after contentious bill hearing

Aurora City Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky adamantly defended a proposed resolution last week she said would prevent a large influx of migrants coming into the city.

The proposed resolution, which was presented at the city council’s Federal, State and Intergovernmental Committee meeting Feb. 16, states that the city would prevent organizations from transporting migrants and people experiencing homelessness into the city. It also states that the city would not provide any services nor staff support for migrants.

The committee is made up of three Aurora city council members. Only Councilmember Curtis Gardner opposed the resolution. Councilmember Steve Sundberg is not a member of the committee, but he co-sponsored the resolution with Jurinsky and was supportive of the measure, along with Mayor Mike Coffman.

“This resolution needs to send a clear message,” Jurinsky said. “You will receive no services from the city of Aurora. Not from the Office of Immigration. There will be no staff support.

There will be no non-profit support or they run the risk of losing city support.”

Gardner pushed back against the resolution. He said that it sends mixed messages to the staff about what services could be provided to which immigrants and homeless people.

“If someone calls 911, is the fire department supposed to check the immigration status of somebody before they produce lifesaving medical care?” he asked.

Jurinsky defended the resolution by saying that people should use common sense. She also said that Gardner’s argument was “far-reaching” and said that it was “ridiculous.”

Jurinsky criticized The Sentinel’s previous reporting on the resolution, which quoted a spokesperson from the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless on how this resolution could affect homeless veterans from accessing medical care in Aurora. “This in no way talks about us not helping homeless Americans,” she said.

Cathy Alderman, spokesperson for the coalition, said the language as it is written in the resolution is very broad and seems to apply to all or any people experiencing homelessness, not just migrants. The phrase “individuals experiencing homelessness” is used multiple times in the resolution.

“Additionally, homeless service

providers do not generally ask nationality or ethnicity questions when providing services and in many instances, it is discriminatory and against the law to premise receipt of services on immigration status,” Alderman said.

Jurinsky defended the resolution when faced with Gardner’s questions about whether the resolution could be enforced, and whether violators could in any way be penalized.

City attorney George Koumantakis initially told the committee that there is no “enforcement mechanism” because this was not an ordinance, just a resolution.

That drew a heated response from Jurinsky, who immediately said that there is an enforcement mechanism that she’s discussed with Aurora police attorney Pete Schulte.

“If we have to take this route we will,” she said. “The bus driver that physically drives into the city of Aurora and drops off migrants, that bus driver could be ticketed.”

The city did not immediately respond to The Sentinel’s request for clarification on enforcing the resolution.

The resolution was forwarded to the full city council for study session debate, tentatively set for Feb. 26.

Aurora Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky will travel to Middle East to support Israeli war effort

Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky says she plans to travel to Israel next month to help the Israeli military pack food and supply boxes, and fill in at the civilian jobs of reservists called to fight in the Gaza Strip.

“I know there’s a lot at risk,” Jurinsky said Feb. 15, mentioning her young son, her responsibilities as an elected official and her businesses in Aurora.

“But the tugging at my heart became so overwhelming that — if I do not go, and I do not help in every capacity that I can — I’m not sure I’ll be able to look at myself in the mirror much longer.”

Jurinsky has commented candidly at meetings about her Jewish faith, her fears of rising antisemitism in the U.S. and her support for Israel in the ongoing conflict.

On Friday, Jurinsky said the 10day trip to Israel, organized with the help of the Tlalim Group, will allow her to support the campaign by the Israel Defense Forces to oust Hamas from Gaza without directly risking her life in the conflict. She leaves March 12 for Israel.

A United Nations-appointed commission found in October that there was “clear evidence” suggesting both parties to the conflict have committed war crimes.

On Oct. 23, Aurora’s City Council found itself at the center of the local debate over how the U.S. should respond to Hamas’ invasion of Israel and Israel’s counterattack when it considered a resolution condemning the actions of Hamas, drawing hundreds of people to city hall.

The crowd mostly criticized the resolution’s lack of commentary on the Palestinian death toll, accusing the council of being indifferent to the suffering of civilians in Gaza and their relatives in Aurora.

Jurinsky acknowledged at the time that both Jewish and Muslim residents knew people who had been caught in the crossfire of the conflict, before engaging in a lengthy back-and-forth with hecklers after she described the attack by Hamas as “barbaric.”

She said last week that she would respond to criticism of her choice to volunteer for Israel at a time when that country is facing scrutiny for its conduct of the war by inviting her critics to volunteer for humanitarian work themselves.

“Believe me, I would love to go over there, and be on the frontlines, and get into Gaza, and help with the search effort for the hostages,” Jurinsky said. “But again, I have a lot of responsibilities. I have a little boy, and I am his entire world.”

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been drawn into the latest conflict in Gaza since Oct. 7, when Hamas militants invaded over the country’s southern border and engaged in a spree of killing, kidnapping and sexually assaulting Israeli civilians.

The Israeli government reported late last year that the death toll of the Oct. 7 attack totaled 695 civilians, including 36 children, as well as 373 members of the Israeli security forces and 71 foreigners. The attack has been widely described as the single deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.

Jurinsky said the events of Oct. 7 fueled a desire to return to the country that she last visited in her 20s, during an educational trip that also passed through the former site of the Łódź Ghetto in Poland, where members of her own family had been incarcerated during the Nazi occupation.

“Oct. 7 really impacted me — that, and then seeing the hatred that has come for Israel and for the Jewish people,” Jurinsky said. “You hear people screaming for a ceasefire, but those same people are not screaming for the hostages to be released. And that’s where my heart just hurts.”

After repelling the initial attack by Hamas, the Israeli military responded with a bombing campaign and ground invasion that have since killed more than 28,700 Palestinians, the Gaza Health Ministry reported Friday.

Roughly three-quarters of Gaza’s population has been displaced and more than half of the buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed since the fighting began, according to information published by the United Nations and satellite imagery analyzed by researchers at the City University of New York and Oregon State University.

“What I would say is stand for what you believe in, and this is something that I believe in, that there are people that need help,” Jurinsky said. “I don’t care what side of this conflict you are on. We need peace back in the Middle East. But we need these hostages to come home.”

Jerry Jurinsky — Danielle’s father, who showed up to the Oct. 23 council meeting, as he has nearly every meeting since Danielle took office, and who will be looking after Danielle’s 4-yearold son while she is overseas — said he had learned about his daughter’s plans to travel to Israel the week prior.

While he said he initially felt like the decision “came out of the blue,” he said he also admired her feeling of closeness to the country.

“I’m hopeful as a father that, wherever she is assigned for the time she’s there, that it will be somewhere maybe around the Jerusalem or Tel Aviv area, where she maybe has a little more safety,” he said. “But this is what she wants to do. And I certainly wasn’t about to say ‘no.’ It’s something that means a great deal to her.”

Danielle Jurinsky’s departure will mean the March 14 meeting of the Public Safety, Civil Service and Courts Policy committee will be postponed to March 21.

Unclear whether potential national ICE inmate release would affect Aurora detention center

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement may release thousands of immigrants from its detention centers to account for a $700 million budget deficit, according to federal officials who anonymously spoke to the Washington Post.

The internal discussions come after a border bill that would have brought $6 billion in funding for ICE failed in the U.S. Senate. The plan

would see ICE detention levels go from 38,000 beds to 22,000, according to the Washington Post.

It isn’t immediately clear how the ICE detention facility in Aurora would be impacted by the internal plan, which officials haven’t confirmed publicly. The facility housed about 900 detainees in December 2023, according to U.S. Rep. Jason Crow’s office, which conducts regular visits to the site and publishes monthly reports on it. January’s count is not yet available.

While a mass release would stir up already heated debates over how local governments should manage new immigrants, they are not new for ICE.

Andrea Loya, the executive director for Casa De Paz, said her organization is the only one in the Denver metro area that meets released immigrants directly outside detention centers. She noted that ICE releases people from custody daily, sometimes letting out as many as 30 immigrants a day. Many choose to leave Colorado following their release.

“We’re a very temporary space for them,” Loya said. “Other people that may have other needs, we might handle differently and may need other resources, but for the most part it is really getting people from outside of the doors of the detention center to our place to their next spot, whether that’s the airport or a bus station or whatever that may mean for them.”

Elizabeth Jordan, the director of University of Denver’s Immigration Law & Policy Center, said a potential mass release shouldn’t cause any “chaos or disorganization” for local officials. She pointed to moves ICE made during the early years of the pandemic as evidence that the agency can adapt.

“I think that ICE has the resources to process people out of detention in an orderly fashion quickly. We saw that in the COVID pandemic,” she said. “[The number of detainees] was up to 55,000 people on any given night by the end of the Trump administration. Then in 2020 and 2021, under court order, because of the dangerousness of being detained during a respiratory pandemic, ICE significantly reduced the number of people in detention to, I think, as low as about 17 or 18,000 at the beginning of the Biden administration.”

Those in Aurora’s detention center are being held while their immigration proceedings are pending. Many have not committed any crime beyond crossing the border and are working through the legal system to remain in the country, which can take years.

As long as those proceedings remain pending, detainees are allowed to complete the court process in the United States. So, if immigrants are released from Aurora’s center, they would not necessarily be deported.

Jordan said when people are released from the centers, it often falls to advocacy groups and nonprofits to assist immigrants. Others reconnect with family who have already settled into local communities, though they may still need help getting on their feet.

“The facility that we have here locally is in a kind of industrial part of Aurora, and [ICE] will just release them into Aurora. They’re supposed to release them with any medication they need and a list of resources, but we often don’t see that happening,”

she said.

Aurora’s ICE detention facility has been criticized by politicians and advocates due to recent deaths at the center. Since 2017, two immigrants have died while in custody there, with records obtained by NPR detailing “negligent” medical care and “barbaric” use of force at the facility.

ICE’s Denver field office forwarded CPR News’ request for comment on a potential mass release to the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE. The DHS neither confirmed nor denied the reports of an internal plan to release detainees, but called for the federal government to provide vital funding for ICE.

“Without adequate funding for [Customs and Border Protection, ICE, and [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services], the Department will have to reprogram or pull resources from other efforts,” the statement said.

Aurora’s response to the state’s influx of new immigrants has been largely driven by private groups and religious groups. While officials in Denver have announced budget cuts at recreation centers and DMV offices to free up funds for immigrant assistance, Aurora’s leadership has remained relatively quiet on the issue.

Suspected intoxicated driver runs red light, kills woman in central Aurora

A man suspected of DUI and running a red light crashed into another car Feb. 18, ejecting and killing the other driver’s passenger, Aurora police say.

Police responded to the crash at the intersection of East Alameda Avenue and South Potomac Street at about 8:40 p.m., according to an Aurora Police Department news release.

Investigators determined that the Infiniti sedan driven by Damian Sanchez-Balderas, 19, of Denver ran a red light while traveling east on Alameda and collided with a Ford Focus that was making a protected left turn south onto Potomac.

The male driver of the Ford was uninjured, but his female passenger was thrown from the car and died at the scene. Sanchez-Balderas lost control of his vehicle after the crash and struck a signal pole at the southeast corner of the intersection.

Police said the victim will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office. The woman is the fifth person to die in a traffic collision in Aurora this year.

Sanchez-Balderas was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries and faces charges of vehicular homicide, DUI, reckless driving and driving with a revoked license as a habitual traffic offender.

Police reports “said that he refused a breath test,” according to Aurora police spokesman Matthew Longshore, but blood was drawn for a blood-alcohol level assessment.

“Those results won’t be known for some time,” Longshore said.

Members of the public who witnessed the crash or have relevant in-

formation and have yet to speak to investigators are encouraged to contact law enforcement at 720-913-7867.

BEYOND AURORA

Colorado bill would require schools to call students by a preferred name, without parent consent

A bill drafted by young Coloradans would require educators statewide to call students by their preferred name upon request.

Sponsors said the legislation is an effort to support transgender youth and protect them from bullying. The

Colorado Youth Advisory Council, a group of 40 students from across the state, helped state lawmakers draft the bill.

During an almost-four-hour committee hearing last week, supporters of House Bill 1039 said the bill would curtail discrimination against transgender students and create a more inclusive environment statewide.

Opponents said the bill would infringe on educator and parent rights, as well as create problems in classrooms and spur potential legal issues.

House Education Committee members approved the bill by a 7-to-4 vote along party lines, with Democrats voting in favor and Republicans voting against the measure.

State Rep. Stephanie Vigil, a Colorado Springs Democrat sponsoring the bill, said many transgender youth feel like their self-expression hasn’t been respected by school districts.

State Rep. Brianna Titone, an Arvada Democrat, and Democratic state Sens. Faith Winter, of Westminster, and Janice Marchman, of Loveland, are also sponsoring the bill.

“Colorado prides itself so much on being welcoming, where people are free to be themselves and how they live,” Vigil said to the education committee members. “We feel like it’s important to act on that.”

House Bill 1039 would require Colorado public schools to adopt policies to ensure educators honor a student’s request to be called by a preferred non-legal name.

Under the bill, students would not have to legally change their name for an educator to call them by that name. The bill ensures schools would conform to non-discrimination laws.

The bill is supported by groups such as One Colorado, an LGBTQ+ advocacy organization, and the Colorado School Counselor Association.

During the hearing, numerous transgender youth testified that district policies often don’t honor who they are. They said many educators insist on using students’ legal names. The students said they’ve dealt with

bullying and terrible treatment, and the bill, if passed, would help them in the classroom.

“The steps that we’re taking would create an environment where being transphobic is not tolerated,” said Theo Martin, an 18-year-old student at Lewis-Palmer High School.

Martin said in an interview that he testified on Thursday because his friend committed suicide five months ago after intolerable treatment at school.

Martin said he’s also personally experienced intolerance. Educators have used his legal name as a way to disrespect him, and a fellow student threw a basketball at him and broke his nose when he came out, Martin said. He added that legally changing his name is a costly and difficult step.

Seventeen-year-old Sam Charney said they want the same rights as other students. They said it’s been an uphill battle to get their school to recognize their identity.

“A legal name change is expensive, and most people don’t have access or the ability to do that,” Charney said. “This will give the students the tools to be able to live their authentic self.”

Opponents included numerous far-right, parents rights, and Christian groups. Several charter school advocates also spoke against the bill.

Opponent Donna LaBelle said she worried that students would start changing their names several times a month, which would confuse teachers. She also said children’s legal names are important to parents.

“You probably remember how important that decision was to give someone their name,” she said.

In voting against the bill, House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese, a Colorado Springs Republican, said she wanted proponents to know she heard their experiences, but she voted no because the bill doesn’t require schools to tell parents if their children ask to be called by a preferred name.

Three days of competition at Ball Arena proved quite memorable — and successful — for Aurora area boys and girls wrestlers.

The city got shut out of state titles in 2023, but a combined four boys and girls wrestlers won championships this season among seven locals that got a chance to shine on the big stage at Ball Arena on championship night Feb. 17.

STATE WRESTLING

Cherokee Trail freshman Cooper Mathews (106 pounds), Regis Jesuit junior Garrett Reece (150) and Grandview junior Charlie Herting (165) brought home the big prizes from the Class 5A boys tournament, while Eaglecrest senior Gianna Falise claimed the girls 190-pound state crown.

Regis Jesuit’s Reece wins all-Aurora matchup with Grandview’s Montes Gonzales Garrett Reece’s fire to win a state championship this season got stoked on the same mats at Ball Arena exactly one year earlier.

The Regis Jesuit junior standout got caught and pinned by Ponderosa’s Jacob Myers just 35 seconds into his finals appearance at 132 pounds in 2023 and it lit a fire under him that would only be satisfied with some redemption.

He got that in what turned out to be an all-Aurora state championship match at 150 pounds, as he was opposed by Grandview sophomore Jonathan Montes Gonzales, who pulled off a dramatic semifinal win to get there.

But Reece would not be denied, as he went undefeated against Colorado wrestlers and 46-1 overall with a win by fall in the second period.

City state-ment

A whopping 18 Aurora boys to earn top-six places (including runners-up in Eaglecrest senior Adonias Cantu at 113 pounds and Grandview sophomore Jonathan Montes Gonzales at 150), while five girls made the podium, which included another finalist in Vista PEAK Prep sophomore Amelia Bacon, in one of the city’s most successful seasons in recent memory.

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor

That success was also reflected in the 5A boys team standings, as Grandview had six total placers who earned enough points to move coach Ryany Budd’s team into third place in the team standings behind Pomona and Ponderosa. The top-10 also included coach Javier Quintana’s Eaglecrest team in sixth — aided by four top-four placers — and coach Jeff Buck’s Cherokee Trail team (with five placers of its own) in seventh. Three of Regis Jesuit’s five qualifiers made the medal podium as it was 11th.

Three of the five Aurora girls placers were from seventh-place Eaglecrest.

“I worked harder every day in practice, I was getting in every extra workout to the point where if I had an injury, my coach would have to hold me out,” Reece said. “I would feel like I was missing out if I wasn’t getting in work every day. It’s been a great season.”

That great season included just a single loss, which came during the rugged Doc Buchanan tournament in California.

Reece is still disappointed in that 4-2 loss to Lucan O’Brien of St. Edward (Ohio), but he rebounded to place third in the tournament and has won every other one. He was hardly challenged at the state tournament with two wins by pin and two by major decision.

Reece is Regis Jesuit’s first state champion since Anthony Segura, a three-time winner whose last title came in 2021. If he can win another next year, Reece can join Segura, fellow three-time winner John Crowley, current Raiders assistant Grant Neal and B.J. Sanchez as the program’s multiple state championship winners.

A state championship will have to wait for Montes Gonzales, who placed for the second time in as many varsity seasons. He was sixth a season ago, but pushed his way into the final with a 4-3 semifinal win over Ponderosa’s DJ Wince that came with a takedown as time expired on the third period. He finished the season 44-9.

Grandview junior Charlie Herting pins way to state championship at 165 pounds

For somebody who loves to wrestle, Charlie Herting sure likes to get off the mat fast.

The Grandview junior opens the throttle at the start of every one of his matches, hoping to put his opponent under durress from the start and hoping to end it early.

He executed his game plan to perfection during four matches at the Class 5A state tournament, as he pinned all four of his foes on his way to becoming the 165-pound champion. It took him 4 minutes, 36 seconds, to stick Poudre’s Brett Lamb in the title match, which also made him the Grandview program’s most prolific pinner.

“I’m a pinner, I like to pin,” Herting said. “My coaches wanted me to have goals this season to work on stamina and be able to wrestle the whole six minutes. Usually, I’m not that long of a wrestler. I’m used to shorter matches where I throw a kid and pin him. I’ll give it to him (Lamb), it was a good match.”

Herting placed third at last season’s state tournament, but he was determined to go higher and he did so. He dispatched of Mountain Vista’s Charlie Rohlf and Fort Collins’ Beckett Cropp by pin early in the second period of his first two matches, then needed just 51 seconds to pin Brighnton’s Izaiah Schoepp in the semifinals.

He wasted little time against Lamb, who had a slew of incentives: a state title was on the line, he had lost to Herting in the regional final a week earlier and Poudre was jockeying with Grandview for third place in the team standings.

But Herting picked up a pin in the opening five seconds of the match to set the tone and eventually got the chance to throw Lamb and finish off the pin, which gave him 38 for the season to break his own personal record. He also gave himself the chance to become the second two-time state champion for Grandview, as he could join Fabian Santillan (who won in 2018 and 2019) with a win next year.

Cooper Mathews becomes Cherokee Trail’s first freshman state champ

On a night where multiple fourtime state championship were crowned, Cooper Mathews took the first leg of that possible journey by winning as a freshman.

Mathews had a phenomenal debut season in high school for Cherokee Trail that concluded with an absolutely dominant performance at the state tournament.

In four matches, Mathews didn’t allow a single takedown and all four of the points he yielded were from intentionally cutting his opponent. He posted two wins by technical fall and two others by major decision, including the 8-0 win over Ponderosa’s Jeremiah Waldschmidt in the title match.

“Of course it makes me think about the future, but I’ve got to keep going and I can’t get too big of a head,” Mathews said.

Mathews gave a lot of credit to his older brother, Chance, for helping him get to the level he is at. Chance Mathews, a junior, very nearly earned a spot on championship night himself, but he lost in the 138-pound semifinals.

But Cooper Mathews (50-6) completed the journey to become the third champion all-time for coach Jeff Buck’s program, as he joined Derek Glenn Jr. and Sam Hart, who both won titles in 2020.

On The Mat predicted an

all-Aurora championship match at 106 pounds, but Grandview freshman JR Ortega couldn’t get past Waldschmidt in the semifinals. Ortega rebounded to place third.

Gianna Falise’s first trip to the medal podium is as the 190-pound state champion

Two previous trips to the state tournament had turned out medal-less for Eaglecrest senior Gianna Falise, but she went out in style in her last chance.

Falise made state at 147 pounds as a sophomore in 2022 and 155 pounds last season with a combined record of 2-4 in those matches. The third time proved to be a charm, however, as she went 4-0 and became a state champion at 190 pounds with a win by fall over Douglas County’s Elizabeth Sandy.

Falise lost to Sandy the previous week in the Region 2 championship match, but took her down late in the first period, put her on

her back and got a quick pin call from the referee to the amazement of herself and others.

“It motivated me more and I worked harder and harder and harder,” Falise said of not placing her first two times to state.

“I put in all the work I could and these are the results,” she added.

“Last year when I didn’t place, one of the things I told my coaches is that I felt like all the work, all the blood and tears that I put in were for nothing. “Looking back on it, it obviously was for something. I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”

Falise won all four of her matches by fall to complete a 486 season. She lost just one time after she moved up from 170 to 190 pounds late in the season.

After she won the title, she went over to the stands and hugged family and friends, which included Blythe Cayko, who was the first state champion for the Eaglecrest program in 2022.

Runners up among multiple boys, girls state placers

Also appearing in state championship matches among locals were Eaglecrest senior Adonias Cantu (5A 113 pounds) and Vista PEAK Prep sophomore Amelia Bacon (girls 120 pounds). Cantu lost a 152 major decision to Pomona phenom Ignacio Villasenor, but finished with 58 wins against just three losses. Bacon — the long Bison to qualify on the girls side — went all the way to the final before a 5-1 loss to Vista Ridge’s Hayden Newberg ended a 39-6 season. ...Among Aurora’s other state placers were Eaglecrest’s Alijah Gabaldon and Thayne Lundy (3rd at 126 and 175 pounds, respectively), Grandview senior Nehemiah Quintana (who was fourth at 132 pounds in his third state trip) and Cherokee Trail’s Jay Everhart, who was fourth at 126 in his third state trip while his brother, Ryan, was sixth at 144 and Grandview freshman Leland Day, fifth at 285.

From grim holding camp to park

COLORADO JAPANESE INCARCERATION CAMP AMACHE NOW A NATIONAL PARK

STORY BY EMMA VANDENEINDE/ KUNC NEWS

Amache, a former Japanese incarceration camp in Colorado, is now officially part of the National Park system.

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, and later named a National Historic Landmark in 2006. President Joe Biden signed the Amache National Historic Site Act in 2022, pushing the site even further to National Park status.

But the land still had to be transferred by the town of Granada before it could be official. Without that piece, no federal funding could be put into the site.

“As a nation, we must face the wrongs of our past in order to build a more just and equitable future,” said Deb Haaland, the Secretary of the Interior, in a press release. “Today’s establishment of the Amache National Historic Site will help preserve and honor this important and painful chapter in our nation’s story for future generations.”

Before becoming part of the National Park system, a local history teacher—John Hopper—recruited some of his high school students to create a museum for the site and collect heirlooms from survivors to display.

“I think without them, there would not be Amache as a national park,” Carlene Tinker, an Amache survivor, said. “I really feel that way.”

Many survivors like Tinker have fought for greater recognition of the site for their

whole lives. She was three years old when she was forced to live at the camp.

“My first reaction was finally, okay, finally,” she said. “It’s a very proud moment. I’m thinking about all the people who endured the incarceration experience, and that finally their story is being told.”

At its peak, Amache — also known as the Granada Relocation Center — housed more than 7,000 Japanese-Americans during the 1940s. They were forced to live behind barbed wire in poorly-insulated rooms. This was one of ten other Japanese internment camps that existed during World War II, with some being located in the Mountain West.

Mitch Homma’s grandparents and their kids were also imprisoned at the camp. He wishes more of his relatives were alive to see this historical moment.

“My dad’s older sister just passed away last Monday,” he said. “She was hoping she was gonna be around and see it come to fruition and stuff. But, you know, we got it done.”

The camp served meals that were different than what they were used to — eggs, potatoes and hot dogs, to name a few. Homma’s dad died at the camp after not eating the food. He reflected on what his dad would have said about the news.

“I think he would have been totally surprised,” he said. “The one statement he said back then was, ‘They didn’t care about us in 1942, and I don’t think enough people

care about us now,” he said, getting emotional. “And now it’s happening and, you know, it’s pretty special.”

Some survivors, like Gary Ono, are happy that younger people are taking an interest in the park before he and many others pass away.

“I just turned 84 last week, so I know that I feel my mortality,” he said. “As we

all pass on, we just hope that our history will continue. So just having Amache as a National Park Service site will help to preserve and keep telling the story.”

Amache is open to the public now, and will start to undergo some improvements of transforming the signage and working on the roads. There will be an official ribbon cutting ceremony on May 17th.

‘A LONG TIME COMING’

Aurora police hail launch of police-reform data portal

BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer

‘Are

we seeing the changes that are envisioned underneath the consent decree? And, what can we do better?’

Aurora police reached a major milestone in their campaign to proactively publish enforcement data this week, opening up an online “transparency portal” for crime statistics, use-of-force info and agency demographics to the public.

Police launched the website, AuroraGov.org/APDPortal, Feb. 14, giving residents the ability to view data in the form of charts, graphs, standalone files and interactive maps.

“I think of it as kind of a living entity as far as us continually updating it and not just saying, ‘Okay, that’s enough, we’re done,’” said Chris Juul, chief of the department’s Professional Standards and Training Division.

“As the community looks at this information, if they develop questions, or if there’s something they would like to see, or if something doesn’t make sense, we want feedback from them so we can continuously improve it. So, with our community’s help, we’ll make it even better.”

Aurora’s Police Department released the portal almost two years to the day after officers began operating under the city’s consent decree, which mandates dozens of public safety reforms, including changes to how police collect and make public enforcement data.

While department spokesman Joe Moylan said the portal satisfies two of the transparency-related reforms mandated by the decree as well as parts of two other mandates, police and city officials pointed out that the decree doesn’t explicitly call for the creation of a portal and said discussions about developing the website began about four years ago.

“It started as part of that national conversation around what police reform should look like,” City Manager Jason Batchelor said. “We think this meets those minimum requirements. But we’re also not just looking to meet the minimum requirements. We want to go well above and beyond that.”

APD has been trekking toward reform since the 2019 homicide of Elijah McClain, which sparked an investigation by the Colorado Attorney General’s Office that alleged a pattern of excessively violent, racist policing by Aurora cops.

In September 2021, the City of Aurora and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office inked the 46-page consent decree. The agreement includes a schedule for when APD, Aurora Fire Rescue and the city’s Civil Service Commission were expected to make certain changes.

Besides overhauling the police department’s record-keeping and data systems, the decree mandates changes to how police hire, train and promote officers to make the police force more representative of the community and to avoid a repeat of the events that led to McClain’s death.

The city was given up to two years to meet the demands of the decree, after which it would be closely watched for another three years to ensure it doesn’t

slide back into past problems.

The clock on the five-year decree officially started Feb. 15, 2022, when the city signed its contract with IntegrAssure, a Florida-based risk management firm hired to monitor Aurora’s compliance with the agreement.

Since then, Aurora cops have watched the police chief’s position change hands three times.

APD has made strides toward complying with the decree, rewriting policies on physical force and constitutional rights, retraining officers on those policies and changing how uses of force are reviewed after the fact.

The department has struggled, however, to meet deadlines related to data and tracking uses of force. IntegrAssure wrote in an October report that “no one in APD has the ability to easily access the data to analyze issues, trends, patterns or practices.”

IntegrAssure blamed a contractor, Benchmark Analytics, for the department overshooting its July 2022 deadline for collecting and analyzing use-of-force metrics and for APD’s problems managing data about officers stopping citizens, suggesting police look for another vendor if the contractor couldn’t deliver. Moylan said the department’s use-of-force data has since been successfully migrated to the Benchmark system.

The transparency portal was developed with the help of another software consultant, Esri, which also worked with the city to integrate maps to help users make sense of incident-based data.

Data is at the heart of the effort to measure Aurora’s progress and rebuild trust with the public. This week, after the transparency portal went live, the department’s top cops were in a celebratory mood.

“We are really excited about the portal,” Juul said. “It’s been a long time coming.”

For now, the portal lets the public access data about when and where police have received reports of the most serious crimes tracked at the national level by the FBI, including homicide, aggravated assault, sexual assault, robbery, arson, burglarty, motor vehicle theft and larceny.

The portal also provides a breakdown of the demographics of APD employees as well as information about officers’ uses of force, showing the “tier,” or severity, of force used in individual incidents as well as the race and ethnicity of the citizens involved.

A contact form allows the public to offer specific feedback on the functionality and data currently included in and absent from the portal, which city and police officials said will inform future updates.

The department plans to update the crime metrics and use-of-force data available through the portal every Tuesday, while agency demographics will be updated quarterly. Previously, much of the data could have only been obtained through formal records requests, which the department often takes weeks or months to turn around.

There are limits to the data offered through the

portal — for use-of-force data specifically, incidents that result in a death or a more intense investigative process may not be entered for an indeterminate amount of time, although department employees have the ability to scrape data about individual incidents to enter into the portal.

“We’re a little bit at the mercy of the outside entities doing those investigations and how long those may take,” Juul said.

“Subsequent to that. our internal investigation has to take place for policy and training compliance. So all of that adjudication does take a little bit longer with the higher levels of force, which are only a handful a year. However, what we are intending to do is provide as much data as we can and update it as that data comes in.”

Members of the public who want to get information about an individual use-of-force incident still must file a records request.

However, officials said the portal’s current shortcomings are proof of the fact that the website is a work in progress that will continue to tie in more data as community members offer feedback.

“This is just the first step,” Batchelor said. “I’d say it’s maybe 50% or 60% of the initial information sets that we want to push out.”

Juul said subsequent updates to the portal will see the department publish information about call outcomes, including arrests and the filing of criminal charges, as well as officer commendations and complaints submitted by the public.

Some of the mandates in the decree related to data remain unfinished two years into the process. For example, a mandate requiring the department to document and track misdemeanor arrests and summonses issued for failure to obey a lawful order, resisting arrest, trespassing and similar crimes is still a month or two from completion, Juul said.

It took just two days for the Aurora Municipal Court to turn over aggregate data about the numbers of those charges filed in 2022 and 2023 and the race of defendants broken down by the outcomes of charges in response to a request by the Sentinel.

IntegrAssure president Jeff Schlanger said satisfying the requirement will involve tracking data from the court as well as the police department. Juul said the department is figuring out how to compile the information from court databases that it doesn’t normally access or use.

“We’re currently working on that piece as we speak,” Juul said.

He said the department also hopes to roll out its anti-bias training for officers and finish sending officers through the training in about 10 weeks. The department has argued that it is more important to develop a training that is effective and tailored to Aurora cops than to have met the February 2023 deadline for the training in the decree.

One of the groups urging the department to meet deadlines has been the Community Advisory Council, which was established by IntegrAssure to serve as a link between the public and the people directly responsible for implementing the agreement.

“We were a little behind schedule when it came to the data portal, so we just kept asking, ‘What’s the holdup?,’” said council co-chair Omar Montgomery, who also serves as president of the Aurora NAACP.

“We were asking those questions that sometimes may have come off as adversarial, but that was far from the case. Our goal is to represent the community voice, and make sure that public safety is a top priority, and make sure the community has buy-in as police reform moves forward in the city of Aurora.”

Montgomery said he has personally seen the department become better at sharing information and responding to community concerns in a timely way since the reform process began.

He said he had a positive first impression of the portal, which the police department previewed for the council before launching it publicly. He described it as an investment by APD in transparency and a step toward reform.

“I’m very optimistic that we can continue to see even more transparency from APD,” he said.

Others questioned why the initial release of the portal didn’t include information related to officer dis-

cipline and records of misconduct.

“This is what Aurora has had problems with. They don’t report when someone has broken a law,” said Candice Bailey, an Aurora activist and former city council candidate. “There needs to be transparency around who is serving us in our community, because that’s one of the things that’s really missing.”

She said the portal should be expanded to include information about reports of misconduct made to the Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training Board as well as officers being included on Brady lists — rosters of police officers with a history of credibility issues maintained by prosecutors’ offices.

Montgomery said he hopes future updates to the portal will include data about the ages of suspects as well as more tools to analyze where crimes have been reported in the past.

He also said he would like to see the portal incorporate the results of public opinion surveys — IntegrAssure president Jeff Schlanger wrote in an email that a survey commissioned by the firm in 2022 to gauge Aurora residents’ feelings about the city’s public safety agencies will be repeated later this year.

Batchelor said Feb. 7 that the department would likely be moving into the second phase of the decree in “the next few weeks,” at which point IntegrAssure will begin shadowing the department’s compliance with the changes for at least three years.

This week, Batchelor said the city is in the process of figuring out with IntegrAssure and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office what this next step in the reform process will look like for the city.

“That won’t mean the work stops. It means the work under the consent decree takes a different form, and I think, quite frankly, the hard part now begins,” Batchelor said.

“We’re in a period where we now need to be tracking and reporting on those changes, and then doing the really hard work to figure out, are we being effective? Are we seeing the changes that are envisioned underneath the consent decree? And, what can we do better?”

Information about reports of aggravated assaults taken by the Aurora Police Department in 2023 are displayed on one of the webpages of APD’s online “transparency portal,” which was made available to the public on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024. Screenshot by Sentinel Colorado

GROUND WATER COMMISSION

DETERMINATION OF WATER RIGHT

LOST CREEK DESIGNATED GROUNDWATER

BASIN AND LOST CREEK GROUND

WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTARAPAHOE COUNTY

TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to section 3790-107(7), C.R.S., and the Designated Basin Rules, 2 CCR 410-1, Servants of Christ Jesus has applied for a determination of right to an allocation of designated groundwater from the Denver aquifer underlying 40.03 acres generally described as part of the W 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of Section 12, Township 4 South, Range 64 West, 6th P.M. (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.

Obituary

On Monday, January 22, 2024, Esther Kinzie Faris passed away in Aurora, Colorado, just five days short of her 103rd birthday. Born in 1921 in Puyallup, Washington, she was the daughter of William Kinzie of Rochester, Michigan and Adelaide Hansberry of Valley County, Nebraska, wife of John J. Faris (deceased), and was one of four sisters, none of whom survive her. She married John in 1942 and is survived by their four children; Peter, Alice, Katy, and Johnann, six grandchildren, and two greatgrandchildren.

Esther was an English and English-as-a-Second Language teacher, and had a life-long interest in Camp Fire Girls and travel, having visited all 50 states, and all continents, as well as 35+ foreign countries. At the age of 80 she celebrated her birthday by hiking down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and returning on the next day. And, at the age of 91 she not only took an Antarctic cruise with a daughter and granddaughter, she also went sky-diving with the same granddaughter.

Esther was enthusiastic about collecting friends. Up until the end she still communicated with friends from grade school and high school, and the collection continued to grow throughout her life. The family is grateful for her long life, and the many years of happiness all of her friends afforded her, and all those who have sent condolences.
