In the span of three votes – and some debate – Fort Lupton City Council expanded its city code May 18 to include two articles dealing with licensing and regulations for medical and retail marijuana. The third vote set up a method to collect sales tax from the sale of marijuana. Councilman Tommy Holton’s main complaint was the lack of input during the May 18 meeting from Fort Lupton Police Chief John Fryar. He did not attend the meeting because of a previous commitment. “I need a recommendation from the police department,” Holton said. “They are the ones who are going to have to handle the complaints.” Planner Todd Hodges said Fryar had input during the development of the ordinances and was happy with what the city put together.
“The public voted to put this in. But I don’t like the fact that the chief is not here to give his comments on the record,” Holton said. “He had a hand in the development of the ordinance,” Stieber said. “He has not had input through council,” said Holton, who was the lone dissenting vote against the “rules and regulations” of the medical marijuana business ordinance. Drive-through/taxes Council also debated whether to allow drive-through marijuana businesses. Stieber said that piece of the process would come up during land-use hearings and not part of the ordinances setting up the new parts of city code. “They still have to get approval from the state,” Hodges said.

Officials virtually kicked off work on a 17-mile-long pipeline May 20 designed to bring wastewater from Metro Denver’s northern communities up to the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District’s Northern Treatment Plant in Brighton. “This solution allows us to plan for along term growth in each of our

regions. Growth is not slowing down any time soon and we have to plan for the future, and in ways we’ve never had to plan before,” Adams County Commissioner Chaz Tedesco said during the virtual groundbreaking ceremony. Tedesco spoke via his smartphone while others logged on from around the area. “This service is essential, not optional, as our communities grow,” Tedesco said. “By providing 17 miles of new pipeline that connects to the newest treatment plant, we’ll be able to expand our current water reclamation services to our northeastern portions of the metro region. Reclamation will be more efficient and will use fewer resources.”

Crews cart a section of reinforced fiberglass pipe into place along the Second Creek pipeline corridor. Work on the pipeline, which begins south of Denver International Airport and continues north east to the Metro Wastewater Districts Northern Treatment plant in Brighton, is expected to continue through 2023.
The pipeline will take wastewater from several communities in Denver’s northern area, including Aurora, Denver, Commerce City and Brighton as well as Denver International Airport and the South Adams County Water and Sanitation District. Work on the pipeline is supposed to continue through 2023, with it being brought into service in 2024. It’s been a long time coming, according to District Manager Mickey Conway. “It’s promising that when this project concludes, we will be able to get together and really celebrate. It’s
