Weld County commissioner sends formal letter to General Assembly BYBELENWARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Weld County Commissioners have joined 37 other counties to oppose any legislation mandating collective bargaining for public employees, according to a press release by Weld County commissioners. “Any such proposed legislation will cause irreparable harm to Colorado taxpayers,” said Weld County commission chairman Scott James in the release. Weld County’s press statement said James worked closely with commissioners across the state on the drafting of the opposition letter. “Such a shift in policy is short-sighted and unwarranted,” he wrote. “It is a solution no one asked for to a problem that doesn’t exist.” According to officials, various agencies and elected officials signed a formal letter to state legislators urging members of the General Assembly to oppose the mandate. The letter was addressed to Speaker Alec Garnett, Senate President Stephen Fenberg, majority leaders Daneya Esgar and Dominick Moreno and minority leaders Hugh McKean and Chris Holbert. Collective bargaining involves union members negotiating contracts to determine terms of employment with the employer. Negotiation topics can include wages, benefits, hours, leave, job health, safety policies and worklife balance. Commissioners join the Colorado Association of School Boards, the Colorado Association of School Executives, the Colorado Municipal League, the Special District Association and other entities in opposition of the legislative mandate, according to the press release. According to the Weld County commissioners’ statement, the letter states they do not oppose collective bargaining as a policy but agree it is an individual employee/employer decision. “We stress that unfunded mandates and unwelcome insertion into local governments, schools and higher education institutions and their budgetary matters by the state is harmful to Colorado on many levels,” the letter said.

United Way CEO, president retires BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
United Way of Weld County president and CEO Jeannine Truswell will retire at the end of the year after 36 years of service helping communities. “I am very proud of all that United Way of Weld County has accomplished during my time as its president and CEO,” Truswell said. “I have been blessed to serve our community and to work with amazing staff and partners, community leaders, volunteers, and donors. Together, we have worked diligently to improve the lives of people in Weld County.” When Truswell started with the United Way of Weld County in 1986 as a chief executive, she brought the organization from a $500,000 annual budget to more than $5 million annually as of

today, according to officials. “The United Way’s role in bringing about communitywide solutions, focusing on outcomes, and responding to some of the most difficult and pressing challenges is essential to the well-being of our neighbors and in assuring we have strong communities throughout Weld County,” she said. Truswell was instrumental in starting numerous programs. Most notable is the Weld County Child Abuse Coalition, an immediate response to the recovery efforts for the 2008 Windsor tornado, the 2013 Northern Colorado floods and the COVID-19 pandemic. Truswell not only developed programs but has been recognized as a leader by several organizations — A Woman’s Place Outstanding Woman of Weld County, and the BizWest Most-

Marlys Jean (Einspahr) Harp April 25, 1940 - February 21, 2022
Mrs. Marlys Jean Harp of Brighton, Colorado died peacefully on February 21 at the age of 81, surrounded by friends and family.
Marlys was born April 25, 1940, to Lorenz and Esther (née Meyer) Einspahr at the Einspahr home just north of Holyoke, Colorado. She was baptized May 12, 1940, at Zion Lutheran Church in Holyoke and was confirmed there on April 11, 1954. Marlys attended Holyoke public schools and graduated from Phillips County High School with the class of 1958. Her class was small but mighty, and to this day they continue gathering for reunions every five years and reminiscing, a highlight of Marlys’s social calendar that she looked forward to planning and attending. From a very early age Marlys demonstrated a talent and love for music. Marlys first served as a professional musician when she became the organist at Zion in Holyoke, setting her on a lifelong career as a leader of music in the church. She attended Concordia Teacher’s College (now Concordia University) in Seward, Nebraska and graduated in 1964 with a degree in Education. Even before graduation, Marlys began her teaching career, landing a position at Zion Lutheran School in Brighton, Colorado. Marlys taught hundreds of students at Zion in more than 25 years leading music for the school and teaching first grade. Her students remember her strict-butkind teaching style and still fondly recall the elaborate Spring Concerts and Christmas programs that she would organize each year.
choirs and soloists – Marlys loved entertaining her congregation and community, complete with costumes and corny jokes. Even as she was in the hospital, she was jotting down ideas for her next program. Marlys enjoyed hosting meetings of the Brighton Euterpean Society, where she and her musically inclined friends would entertain each other with solos and collaborations followed by coffee and conversation. She also lent her talents to Brighton Music, accompanying and participating in orchestral concerts several times each year. Marlys met and married her husband of 52 years, Robert (Bob) Harp in 1965, falling in love with him even though he “couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.” They were the last couple to be married at the old Zion Lutheran Church on Strong Street before the church moved across town. Together they would raise two sons, Vaughn and David, in whom Marlys instilled her passion for music, bringing them up to play violin, piano and several other instruments. Her home was perpetually filled with music.
Her love of music was surpassed only by her love of family. Marlys relished every opportunity to get together with relatives and was a legendary hostess, known especially for highly competitive card tournaments and game nights. She particularly delighted in seeing her granddaughter Aurelia perform and blossom into a pianist, singer, dancer, and actress. Marlys’s final public appearance on the organ was with Aurelia on Christmas Eve, Marlys loved practicing organ and piano and 2021 at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in eventually became the Organist and Director Moorestown, New Jersey where they played a piano/organ duet with hardly a dry eye in the of Music at Zion, a position she would hold for over 50 years until her retirement in 2015. congregation.

Lutheran Church, 1400 Skeel Street in Marlys established the bell choir program at Zion in the early 1970s and built a highly regarded program that at one time included as many as four bell choirs that performed at bell festivals throughout the area. Her knowledge and dedication to the art of bell ringing led her to serve as the Rocky Mountain Region President of the American Guild of English Handbell Ringers.

City employees have high marks for job Satisfaction, supervision rated highly while pay, benefits lag BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Fort Lupton’s city employees — at least 106 of them — like what they do and where they work, but they don’t think much of what they get paid. That’s the result of a survey of city employees released to City Councilors at their Feb. 22 Town Hall meeting. Human Resources Director Laura Howe said the survey was sent to 169 municipal employees across all city departments and 106 returned completed surveys. That included a mix of mostly full-time employees and about half as many part-time workers. Department supervision, employee engagement, job satisfaction and their ability to maintain a balance between work and their life outside of work were all rated highly,

Truswell received the Colorado Nonprofit Association Steve Graham Award for Building Nonprofit Capacity. She’s also been a director on many nonprofit
Relationships The highest ratings were related to supervision and relationships, Howe said. “Employees feel very connected to their supervisors,” Howe said. “We are super proud of that. Also, relationships with co-workers are very important. That’s what we say when we love where we work: ‘I love the people I work with.’ That’s true here, too.” Howe said she is especially pleased with one of the questions rating, employee motivation. “The statement is ‘I am motivated to do my best work,’” she said. “That result is pretty incredible coming out of a pandemic, where things are tough. We have had to work in ways that I don’t think any
of us imagined and we are still motivated.” Howe said she suspects the employee motivation comes from employees knowing they are working for the public. “We serve the people, not stockholders,” she said. “I think there is more meaning in the work and people seem to be more motivated by that.” The low rating for benefits and pay surprised her, however. More than half of all Fort Lupton employees disagreed with the idea that they are paid fairly compared to others doing similar work in other organizations. She said she was troubled about the low rating of employee benefits since public employees usually have good health insurance and benefits. She needs to research that more deeply. “What are they comparing themselves to?” Howe said. “Are they looking at jobs in the private sector where they can make a lot more money? So, I’m not sure how I want to collect more information, but I feel like that’s an area where we want to poke at.”
boards during her career and serves with Better Business Bureau in northern Colorado and Wyoming, the Colorado Children’s Campaign and the El Pomar North Regional Council. United Way’s board of directors search committee will conduct a national search for the next president and CEO. Truswell says it was not an easy deci-
sion to retire because of her passion and the mission for United Way. “It is time to enjoy my husband, family, and friends more. I will get involved in our community in some way, but not until I’ve had time to clean some closets, take long walks, read more fiction, enjoy the mountains of Colorado and beaches in Florida,” she said.
nearly four out of four. But the benefits and pay were rated near the bottom. “I guess that’s not a-typical,” said City GIS Specialist Jake Freier. “Everybody wants to make more money. It’s one of the common gripes. But they are really happy with supervision and overall job satisfaction.”

Women may need financial “catch-up” Here’s something that might surprise you: Women face more than a $1 million lifetime earnings gap, according to a study from Edward Jones and Age Wave. As a woman, how can you help yourself? Start by paying yourself first. Each month, have some money moved automatically from your checking account into an emergency fund, which can be used for any reason, such as the need to step away from your job to care for children or aging parents. Also, contribute as much as you can afford to your IRA and your 401(k). And consider Social Security. The longer you can afford to wait before collecting benefits, the larger your monthly checks. Your spouse’s claiming decision can also affect the benefit you receive, so make sure you and your spouse understand your options. Finally, get some assistance. A financial professional can evaluate your situation, make investment recommendations and help you plan for your future. Hopefully, women won’t always have to play financial “catch up.” For now, though, use all the means at your disposal to help yourself.
