Thornton overrides Weld water pipeline denial
Update on water treatment plant raises deeper questions Brighton’s water treatment plant is getting older and it’s only able to treat so much water, but the city can’t afford to replace the plant right now. Yet, the plant’s limits are already testing the waters in town. Two weeks ago, the treatment plant’s demand exceeded the city’s projected peak for the summer, causing city utilities staff to be concerned about the plant’s ability to meet peak demand throughout the summer. City Manager Jane Bais DiSessa considered issuing mandatory water restrictions as a result, which led to a fierce debate among city councilors over Bais DiSessa’s authority over city utilities. Ultimately, the council decided that it wouldn’t limit Bais DiSessa’s power. The recent council controversy may have subsided, but the fact of the matter is that equipment in Brighton’s water treatment plant will need replacing at some point, said Brett Sherman, utilities director. The original plan was to essentially build a new plant and mothball the old one. The city hired engineering firm Brown and Caldwell in 2020 to design a new plant. Equipment in the prospective new plant would replace existing operations — like the reverse osmosis (RO) technology used to treat a portion of the city’s water supply and remove nitrates from the water — and introduce new technology to soften the taste of city water. The new plant would have also had technology that “denitrifies” brine, or unusable water containing the nitrates separated from the clean water by using the reverse osmosis

using the wastewater plant to treat brine, expand the use of non-potable (or non-drinkable) water for irrigating parks, retrofitting parks with grass that requires less watering, and ramping up engagement with customers about conservation. Though some of the alternatives are seemingly out-of-the-box, Bais DiSessa said they are important for the city to do anyway, especially the conservation efforts. “Some of these options. I know some of these people may think they are temporary, but some of them could be long-term,” Bais DiSessa said. “I think cities are recognizing that you just can’t go out and build a new treatment plant in every community and expect the residents to go into debt.” At the same time, the city hasn’t completely discarded the idea of replacing equipment at the treatment plant. Using a phased-in approach, the city would like to still replace two injection wells, pumps and pipes in the plant, and a water line to Ken Mitchell Lakes. Still, the priciest items will have to wait. Brighton currently doesn’t
Thornton can start building a segment of a water pipeline in Weld County, even though the Weld County Board of Commissioners told the city “no” two months ago. On Tuesday night, Thornton City Council unanimously approved a resolution that overrides Weld County’s denial of a permit to build a segment of the Thornton Water Project, and to authorize commencement of the pipeline’s construction. The entire Thornton Water Project is 74 miles long and it will deliver water from a reservoir near Fort Collins, nearly doubling the city’s current water supply. Twelve miles of the pipeline will run through Larimer County, 34 miles through Weld County, and five miles through Adams County. The rest of the pipeline will go in municipalities throughout those three counties. “Thornton has followed all the processes, regulations required in every jurisdiction that our project impacts,” said Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann at a June 29 meeting. “But at the end of the day, we have to use every option that we can to make sure that the pipeline is constructed, and the water arrives here in Thornton.” The council discussed the resolution very little before approving it at a June 29 meeting. Though council’s vote for approval was expected,

process. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment set new limits for the concentration of nitrates in brine, which Brighton currently does not meet. Brighton has until December 2024 to start meeting that “discharge limit.” Before Brown and Caldwell completed its engineering analysis and design, Brighton city staff told the council that the total cost of a replacement plant could be around $100 million. Then, in March, Brown and Caldwell came back and said the cost would be between $150 to $180 million. At that point, “We hit the wall with those costs,” said Marv Falconburg, deputy city manager, in a recent meeting that also included Bais DiSessa, Sherman, and Finance Director Maria Ostrom. Falconburg added, “We don’t see how we can pull it off, so we have to go back to get more creative and look at other alternatives.” Temporary or long term? Since that realization, the city has worked with Brown and Caldwell to draft a list of strategies that the city can implement to address its needs in the meantime. That list includes

Marian Bruns
Marian Bruns died suddenly in her home in Brighton on December 4, 2020. She was predeceased by husband Richard and son David, and is survived by her sons Alan and Kevin, 4 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. She was the daughter of Lionel W. and Mattie (Meister) Kinsey and niece of Mary Meister of Humboldt, Nebraska, and sister of Norman Kinsey of Tucson, AZ, all now deceased. She began teaching piano at age 16 and continued to do so throughout her life, giving several lessons on the day she died. She and her family moved to the house on Myrtle Street in Brighton in 1958, and she lived there until her death. She was organist for the Brighton United Methodist Church for 48 years, and was active in the Brighton Euterpian Society and the Northland Chorale. For years she accompanied band students at the state solo & ensemble festival, donating many hours of her time assisting local young musicians. Her back
yard bloomed from early Spring through late Fall with many flowers, and her hummingbird and bird feeders were always full. She was an avid snow- and water-skier and ice skater, and took full advantage of the slopes and Sand Hill lake until late old age forced her to quit. Husband Richard died in 2007 after 58 years of happy marriage. Subsequently she joined the Trinity United Methodist Church choir in Denver, and had the opportunity to travel to Italy and perform with that group. In recent years Marian received a great deal of enjoyment from working with her adult piano students. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and teacher. She is greatly missed. A memorial service will be held for Marian on July 10, 2021, at 10:30AM at Brighton United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to the Audubon Society in Marian’s memory.

Weld RE-8 dips into its fund balance Board to use $2.1 million to balance budget BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In adopting its 2021-2022 budget, the Weld Re-8 board of education had to dip into more than $2 million of what’s called a beginning fund balance so it could adopt a balanced budget. State law allows school boards to use those funds as long as the purpose and amounts are clear and that the use doesn’t lead to an ongoing deficit. According to the board resolution, $2.1 million of the general fund goes to “continuing staffing levels and ongoing daily activities of the

have enough money for the high costs, either through reserves or rate-generated revenue. Also, the city intends to issue bonds in the future to finance water infrastructure, which ratepayers ultimately pay for, but the goal is to limit that amount of debt. Ostrom said, “We were always going to have to borrow some money, so it really is about controlling how much is borrowed.” Following a 2019 controversy over
district.” The adopted budget also includes pay raises for classified and administrative staff in the district. A bit more than $41,000 from the mill levy override fund goes to tuition reimbursement, book and workbooks and purchased services. The adopted resolution said, “this is a result of moving carryover from previous years into expense lines for 21/22,” in case it’s necessary to use the money. The board also agreed to use $150,000 from the food service fund for repairing and replacing kitchen equipment. The board also agreed to spend almost $200,000 from its building fund. The district put bond money in the fund to complete bondapproved projects. Another $,3000 from the trust and agency fund goes to scholarships. The approved resolution said the interest rates on water rates that led to a successful mayoral recall election, the city council voted to decrease rates in 2020 by 8 percent, and then freeze the rates in 2021. The decisions about rates were guided by a consultant, who made recommendations to the city after reviewing the utilities capital improvement plan. Sherman and Bais DiSessa, who both came on board after the council decreased the rates, said they were surprised to see the rates go down, especially since learning what a new water treatment plant would cost. However, Ostrom noted, the city still couldn’t have afforded a new treatment plant if rates had not decreased.
these scholarships “is minimal.” The board signed off on this by a vote of 4-1. Board member Cody
LeBlanc was the dissenting vote. He was not immediately available for comment.

Weld County residents who were at the meeting protested. “You are sickening, unconscionable and disgraceful people of the lowest order serving your selfish interests only and disregarding the basic tenets of humanity and fairness,” said Rebecca Hicks to council during public comments. “You and your sinister minions have destroyed lives and properties in your reprehensible land grab and unconscionable use of eminent domain in your at-risk schemes and tactics,” Hicks added. With Fourth of July coming up, Hicks likened Thornton to the 18thcentury British Empire. Weld County landowners were influential opponents of Thornton when the city went through the permit application process. In 2019, the Weld County Planning Commission recommended approval of the project, but landowner protest from landowners caused the planning commission to reverse its recommendation in 2020. Residents’ complaints were also cited by commissioners as a reason for denying the permit at a hearing on May 5. In addition to elevating landowners’ complaints, Weld County commissioners said the pipeline would negatively affect future growth and that it was inconsistent with a new county comprehensive plan, according to a Weld County board resolution dated June 3. Some Weld County residents want Thornton to build its pipeline in the right-of-way, or literally underneath a

county road, instead of on private land next to the road. Thornton has always wanted the opposite and since the beginning of the application process, has had support from Weld County staff. Building in the right-of-way requires an easement from the county, while building outside of the right-of-way requires easements from private landowners. Going with the private land option, Thornton went out and obtained easements from 98% of landowners during the permit application process. Some easements were obtained through eminent domain proceedings, frustrating specific landowners and further provoking their protest. The pipeline will be buried four feet underground. The city will compensate any landowners, especially farmers, whose land and crops are damaged by construction. Weld County landowners were relieved when Weld County commissioners denied the permit, meaning they were beyond frustrated at the news that Thornton could simply reverse

the denial. “Never did we expect to have our land stolen by unscrupulous people who could by statutory loopholes destroy our rights to ownership,” Hicks said at the June 29 council meeting. City spokesman Todd Barnes confirmed that the city has already reached an agreement with Hicks’ family to construct part of the pipeline on their farm, just south of Johnstown. Kathy Zeiler Weinmeister, who spoke during public comments on behalf of Zeiler Farms Inc. in Weld County, said Thornton, “is choosing to pursue its timeline without regards to the real value of our land.”
A state statute allows Thornton to overrule Weld County’s denial because the city is financing and constructing the pipeline, not the county. Before the June 29 council meeting, Weld County negotiated terms with Thornton after the county recognized Thornton was able to override the denial. The terms still require the city to apply for road construction permits in areas where the pipeline crosses the street, to regularly communicate with county staff about the progress of construction, and to be diligent about dust management. The city hasn’t said yet when it plans to break ground.

Don’t let investments go on vacation Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided somewhat, people are feeling freer to travel. But while it’s nice for you to take a vacation, you won’t want your investments to do the same. How can you keep them working on your behalf? First, invest consistently. If you only dabble in investing, occasionally putting some money in to one investment or another, it will be difficult to build a portfolio that’s consistently working in your best interest. Also, you need to own enough of the types of investments that can provide the growth you need to reach your long-term goals. And make sure you’re getting the most out of these investments. For example, your 401(k) and IRA are designed for your retirement – so try to avoid tapping into them early. Finally, review your investment portfolio at least once a year to make sure it’s still performing the way you intend. If it’s not helping you make the progress you need to achieve your objectives, you may want to make some changes.
