higher price, and therefore that price then flows through all the way to the station. It’s not necessarily an instantaneous market,” explained David Lawler, head of BP America. Chevron CEO Michael Wirth added, “these things do correlate over the long term but in the short term, they don’t always go up and down.” But many Democrats questioned whether companies are giving the full picture about the ongoing high prices. “While I understand that you simply cannot flip the switch or turn on the spigot, you must be honest about the main reason that some companies are choosing

Brighton could create a public committee to monitor the Brighton Police in the wake of a deadly October police chase. Councilors agreed at their April 5 meeting to discuss creating public safety committee. “We just want to make sure we have a good discussion about public safety and gather those best practices we can apply in our community,” Mayor Greg Mills said. “I know there is an active case out there that is questioning some practices involving our police.” Nicholas Villarini, 27, faces two counts of first-degree murder for his involvement in an October police chase that began in the late morning near Gaviota and Goldfinch streets. Police were responding to reports of a suspicious vehicle and discovered the vehicle had been stolen. Villarini allegedly rammed a police vehicle and then fled the scene with Brighton officers in pursuit. It came to an end two minutes later. The stolen vehicle ran a stop sign at Bridge and Mount Bierstadt streets when the stolen car ran a stop sign and struck another car. The stolen car continued on Mount Bierstadt Street, and the driver lost control of the car and struck a male pedestrian, police said. A female passenger in the victim’s car was thrown clear and was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, according to the police statement. This male pedestrian was also transported to the hospital in critical condition. Both victims died at an area hospital, police said. The Brighton officer involved in the chase was later fired. Mills said that councilors could not discuss the specific matter, which is still under investigation. “But we can find ways to move forward and see how we can be a better community and be better steward to support our police,” Mills

Diana DeGette and other lawmakers grill oil executives BY CAITLYN KIM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

In Washington, it was a contentious time on Capitol Hill April 6, as six oil and gas executives faced questions from lawmakers about the high cost of gasoline. Democrats focused on the fact companies are making record profits, while Republicans took aim at President Joe Biden’s energy policies. Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette chairs the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s oversight panel, which held the hearing. She said high gas prices are constraining “constituents’ budgets and their patience.” As she spoke, DeGette displayed a chart behind her showing the

price of crude oil going up and down, even as the price of gas has risen and stayed high, despite crude prices starting to drop. “If the price of gas is driven by the global market, why is the price of oil coming down but the price at the pump is still near record highs? If it’s an issue of supply and demand, wouldn’t that be reflected in the global price of oil as well?” DeGette asked. “Something doesn’t add up.” Oil executives and Democrats, including DeGette, spar over the reason why prices are so high The oil executives argued it’s not as simple as comparing global prices on any given day to gas station prices. “Oil that’s entering a refinery could have been purchased at a

Brighton agrees to Bird Scooters Staff to begin mapping areas where electric rentable scooters can scoot

e-scooter program called Spin. The company will likely deploy between 100 and 150 bird scooters in neighborhoods the city would approve, providing two local employees to keep track of the fleet. The company’s plan call for having Brighton online with the scooters by July.

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton residents will get to scoot around town on Bird Scooters, councilors agreed on April 5, as soon as the city can decide just where the 15-miles-per-hour rentable electric vehicles will be allowed. Public Works Director Michael Woodruff said his next job would be working with the company to create zones where the electric scooters can be ridden at their top speed, which areas where they will automatically slow down and where they’ll be banned from going. “The Department of Public Works and the police department staff recommend the approval of this ordinance,” Woodruff said. “It clearly defines the rules, regulations and licensing of the devices in the city.” Councilors approved using the scooters by a vote of 7-1 with Councilors Mary Ellen Pollack absent from the discussion. Pollack was the only councilor to speak out against the idea of allowing the scooters at the council’s March 8 meeting. Councilor Jan Pawlowski cast the sold no vote at the April 5 meeting, saying she was not convinced they were a good fit for Brighton. “My daughter and son in law are bikers, and when I was talking to them about this they were not very happy about it,” Pawlowski said. She said they bike in places where there must share trails with the scooters. “But they pass them and don’t yell out right or left when they pass and they scare bicyclists to death,” she said. Woodruff said the scooter drivers would be expected to keep the the

right around bicycles and to yield the right of way. “But that said, it is a little hard to govern rider or driver behavior in the ordinance,” Woodruff said. “the company generally does a decent job of educating riders, but you are always going to have those out there, just like an automobile, that fail to obey the law.” City Councilors first discussed the idea at their March 8 meeting, with most agreeing that the scooters could be welcome on Brighton’s streets. Bird provides two-wheeled electric scooters people can rent for $1 or more per minute via an app on their smartphones, and the company estimates the average ride costs about $5. The scooters can reach speeds of up to 15 miles per hour and about 30

miles — roughly two days’ worth of service — on a standard electrical charge. Each scooter is equipped with brakes, front and rear LED lights and each weighs about 45 pounds. Riders activate the scooters via an app on their phone and then can use them to ride as long as they choose. When they are done, they park the scooters, take a picture with the app on their phone and leave the scooters. The vehicle then waits for the next rider or is moved, recharged or repaired by Bird’s designated Fleet Managers. Bird current offers its services in Denver, Aurora, Littleton and Arvada in the Metro Denver area. It offered its services in Fort Collins until last spring, when the city brought in a different e-bike and

Brighton rules The City will develop zones throughout Brighton that dictate how the GPS-enabled scooters operate, Woodruff said. Upon entering a designated “slow” zone, the scooter would make a noise to warn the driver and then slow down. Upon entering a designated “no-ride” zone, the scooter would beep and then come to a slow stop. Drivers would be directed to a parking zone where they could leave their rented scooter and would have to provide picture proof showing that their scooter has been parked upright and properly before the app would consider their ride complete and stop charging them. The scooters would be regulated like bicycles and could be used on roads, paths and in bike lanes. Scooters must be parked out of the way of pedestrians and may not block driveways. Riders are required to be at least 18 years of age but won’t be required to wear a helmet. According to the city’s ordinance, Bird will pay the city a $500 fee to license each scooter and then $200 per year to renew each license. The company will also pay a fee of 20 cents per ride. A staff of two local Bird employees will work to keep track of the fleet, maintaining them and moving them when they have been parked improperly. Woodruff said the city reserves the right to collect and move the scooters if the Bird staff does not act quickly enough and will charge the company an additional $100 each time that happens.

Advocates want to create a statewide recycling program And charge companies to do it BY MICHAEL BOOTH AND JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

State Sen. Kevin Priola had his recycling epiphany while staring at an empty pizza box. The grease stains on the lid spelled it out for the Henderson Republican: Colorado recycles only about 15% of its waste because recycling is too hard. Even a dedicated recycler like Priola was surprised to learn that cardboard with food stains is not welcome in the paper bin. He’s learned to rip the postpepperoni top off the pizza box and recycle the rest. And Priola’s doubled down on recycling by being a co-prime sponsor on one of the most ambitious recent attempts at improving Colorado’s abysmal recycling rates. Priola and two Democrats are leading the “Producers Responsibility” bill in the legislature, which would require the companies whose brand is on the packaging to charge themselves a fee to fund improved local recycling services across Colorado. Cities or counties without their own recycling services could take the fees to start up a program. Places like Denver or Boulder who run or contract for extensive recycling could use the fees to expand — many apartment dwellers don’t get recy-

said. City Councilor Jan Pawlowski noted that Brighton had a public safety committee at one time and it might be a good idea to bring it back. “Maybe a broad spectrum of brains could sit down and spell out the right steps to take whenever there are situations,” Pawlowski said. She said such a committee must have limits, however. “The one thing I don’t want is at all is for our city, for everyone to say ‘Come do what you want. Come steal all you want, because Brighton won’t do a thing about it,’” she said. “I do

cling services, for example. Or they could turn recycling programs over to nonprofits and private companies likely to enter the market. Giving recycling access to all Colorado consumers and making the sort-and-return systems easier to use would cut deeply into trash across the state, Priola said. “If you can get 60, 70, 80% of the people to start doing the right thing, that’ll mean less resources being wasted. Less water being wasted. Less air pollution. A more vibrant local economy,” he said. One reason a Republican like Priola got on board was the effort to be business-friendly: Recycling advocates say a steadier stream of packaging materials like aluminum, glass and cardboard will eventually ease the supply chain woes and inflation plaguing many American companies. Also, the businesses creating and delivering packaging are in charge of the proposed program. House Bill 1355 would create an industry council to study how much money is needed for a statewide recycling plan and would let the council set the rates needed to raise that money. “So many of these businesses are getting hit with real disruptions in their ability to get materials, which is directly connected to the fact that we’re throwing so many materials away,” said Kate Bailey, research and policy director at the nonprofit recycler Eco-Cycle. Businesses who use lots of packaging have gone along with similar

programs in Canada and a couple of U.S. states, Bailey said, proving a comprehensive, producer-funded system can work. Businesses with less than $5 million in revenue will be exempt. And closer to home, Bailey said, putting all paint recycling in Colorado under a similar duesfunded nonprofit called Paint Care has increased paint recycling while saving local governments money. It’s possible the bill is a nohoper this late in a session already crammed with complex issues like how to refund surplus revenue to taxpayers and how to regulate toxic emissions. Advocates, including cities such as Westminster and nonprofits like Eco-Cycle and CoPIRG, expect mofd opposition from small to medium businesses worried about costs and bureaucracy than from giants like Coca-Cola and Molson Coors. And Gov. Jared Polis has been wary of increasing costs for Colorado residents and businesses given recent inflation pressure. “It will not be a noticeable price increase to consumers,” Priola said in introducing the bill, along with co-prime sponsors Rep. Lisa Cutter, D-Morrison, and Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver. Advocates say the dues usually amount to fractions of a penny for each package and result in steep increases in recycling. Bailey said average dues in similar Canadian programs are three cents per pound for aluminum cans, with a pound of aluminum making about 30 cans in a pound.

Hearings starting April 7 are likely to be packed with both supporters and business representatives concerned about the potential requirements. Local governments also plan to raise voices on the bill, many of them in support of a more robust state recycling effort. “In Clear Creek County and other rural parts of the state, higher costs for recycling services and transportation are forcing hard decisions,” said George Marlin, a Clear Creek County Commissioner and president of Colorado Communities for Climate Action. “Why should communities have to choose between housing, childcare and recycling, when so much of the business community wants to be part of the solution?” The bill “makes recycling as easy to access as trash pickup,” said Jefferson County Commissioner Andy Kerr. Including those who produce and deliver the packaging, he said, ties the cost of recycling back to the original materials. “My constituents across the county want to have good recycling options.”

not want that out there.” Councilor Matt Johnston said he has no doubt that the Brighton Police leadership acted correctly in the matter or that the department itself is good. “We have the best police department in the metro area and that is not as known as it needs to be,” Johnston said. He noted that there are criminals in Brighton and that the city — and police — must respond. “The big problems that have happened and the tragedies that have happened, we can begin to end them today,” Johnston said. He said it’s important to have staff, the public and councilors involved in keeping public safety in Brighton moving forward.

“I think the best thing we can do moving forward is to sit down and go ‘What does this committee consist of’ and create this committee,” he said. “We can have that committee look at things and bring them to council.” Not everyone agreed. Councilor Mary Ellen Pollack said public safety is not something that can be covered by any public policy. “Yes, it’s sad that these accidents happen,” Pollack said. “Officer was trying to do his job, which is to protect the public. And the accident happened, which is sad, but it was not caused by him.” She said she is tired of people blaming police officers when bad things happen. “Quit looking for ways to come after them, ‘cuz you don’t have me on

your side,” Pollack said. “We need to figure out a different way to help them. Maybe we can add some more officers.” Councilor Clint Blackhurst, a former city police officer, said he’s not in favor of having a citizen makes no sense to him. “If we have a problem in police administration, then we need different administrators,” Blackhurst said. “But any time you have a police department in this day and age, the better communication and the more open communication you have with the public, the better. If this could facilitate that, I’m all for it.” City Manager Michael Martinez said staff would likely bring the matter back to a City Council study session for more discussion in May.

VOICES Know the process, solve the problem

here were maybe 20 or so of us in the room. We had gathered for a small regional business meeting a few years ago. We shared strategies, stories, and came up with new ideas and identified some things that we needed to change about our businesses. Whenever we would gather for a day or two, we would usually try and build in some exercises and activities to keep it fun and engaging. We had someone come in to teach us strategy. One of the exercises they used was trying to teach us and coach us on how to solve Rubik’s Cube. It generated a lot of laughs, some of us got it, some of us didn’t and some gave up trying. Then the owner of the business who was hosting us brought in his two young sons, and they had learned how to solve it. They came around the room offering help. It was a bit humbling. More of us got it, a few more didn’t, and well, even a few more gave up. The world record for solving Rubik’s Cube is 3.47 seconds. Did you catch that? 3.47 seconds. The

old record was 4.22 seconds. The key to solving a problem or a puzzle is to know the system and apply the process. As I watch some of the cooking shows, I am always amazed at the dishes that are Michael Norton served in such a short time frame. Five-star quality dishes created and made in sometimes as quickly as 20 minutes. The winners know the process, they have a system. They are given the ingredients, but more often than not, they must use their knowledge to know just how much of each ingredient needs to be used and for exactly how long it should be cooked. There is a great book that has been out for a few years, “Atomic” Habits by James Clear. It is an incredible book by the way, I encourage anyone looking to make a change in productivity or make improvements in life to check it out. In his book, James Clear talks

WINNING WORDS

about goals and processes. And if given the opportunity to choose if he could only pick one, he would choose having the right process or system over a setting a goal. The goal is the destination, the process is how you get there. In business, many companies will often talk about people, process and technology as the requirements and ingredients for success. The people are the business, take care of your people and they will take care of your business. Technology and innovation are necessary in any business regardless of industry. That leaves us with process. When we can give our people the right care and attention, provide them with the right skills and technology, and then couple that by teaching them the processes that will help them perform at their very best, we have a winning combination. Show me people who disagree, and cannot get past the disagreement, and I will show you people who were never taught the process or system of effective communication. Show me a professional team that is losing by a large margin,

and I will show you a team that didn’t have a way or process to stop their opponent. Show me a salesperson who lost an opportunity to a competitor, and I will show you a salesperson who didn’t align their selling process with the buyer’s decisioning journey. It doesn’t matter if it is a puzzle, conundrum, game, business, human interaction and dynamics, sports or sales, when we can learn to apply the right process to anything that we do, we will always increase our chances for success. Is there a process or system that you need to learn? Is there something that you are doing where you would like to make improvements? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we can learn to solve the conundrums and puzzles of life using a proven process, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful president of XINNIX, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

the state with the responsibility to properly plug and clean up the toxic sites. On the Western Slope, many orphaned wells are on federal lands and also subject to inadequate protections from abandonment. Fortunately, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) recently took an important step toward fighting climate change with the passage of new financial assurance rules. The rules will guarantee there is enough money to properly plug low-producing and orphaned oil and gas wells statewide. These measures add an annual “well fee” intended to raise $10 million a year to fund a state-sponsored well plugging program that addresses the impacts of abandoned wells from defunct operators. It also includes necessary bond increases for low-producing wells and incentives for operators to plug old wells. These new protections will also apply to wells on federal lands. This is very good news because wells that are low producing or have been left unattended by past operators are a significant source

The new rules come not a moment too soon. Currently, there are between 820 and 860 orphaned wells in Colorado and another 20,000 or more low-producing or “zombie” wells. The wells, and the associated wellsites with their abandoned production facilities, tanks, equipment and flowlines, together contribute dangerously and unnecessarily to climate change. With cleaner energy technologies, improved conservation measures, and increases in electric vehicle availability, we can expect declines in oil and gas demand in the near future. Along with that shift, we can anticipate an increase in orphan wells. We appreciate that the COGCC has set up a long-term plan that incentivizes the oil and gas industry to properly plug wells through

bonding and other financial assurances. Further, the new rules enable local governments to petition the COGCC to require operators to plug and clean up or close low-producing wells that pose significant risks to the health and safety of residents of our communities. As elected officials governing counties impacted by emissions caused by irresponsible operators, this is an important aspect of the rule for us. We are encouraged by the inclusion of assurances for wells on both private lands and public lands. We are also pleased that equity is intertwined into the new rules, with operators now required to prioritize communities that are disproportionately impacted by oil and gas activities in their plans. We commend the COGCC for adopting these rules which are now some of the strongest in the country. This bold action takes a significant step toward decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the health of all Coloradans. Emma Pinter is an Adams County Commissioner.

to ramp up production slowly,” said Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell. “A survey of oil company executives by the Dallas Federal Reserve found that nearly 60 percent of oil companies are restraining growth because of investor pressure.” The oil executives did acknowledge that their companies earned billions last year, after losing billions in 2020 when the pandemic tanked demand. And many of the CEOs said they would not stop paying stock dividends or pursuing buybacks this year. They also pushed back on the accusation of price gouging, noting many of the companies did not own the gas stations. “I want to be absolutely clear: We do not control the market price of crude oil or natural gas, nor of refined products like gasoline and diesel fuel, and we have no tolerance for price gouging,” Wirth said during his opening remarks. Meanwhile, Republicans try to take advantage of what they see as midterm

The show will aim to “resolve conflict between homeowners and contractors who have found themselves living a construction nightmare. We will help resolve any conflicts, deescalate the situation and

help pay to rescue their renovation, as well as providing labor, services and materials to ensure families get the dream homes they always wanted,” states a news release. Filming will take place sometime between June-September with the show expected to air next year. Applicants must own their

elections talking point Republicans dismissed this line of questioning from Democrats. Ranking member Rep. Morgan Griffith used part of his time to ask if oil companies were taking advantage of the situation in Ukraine to keep prices artificially high. The oil executives all said no. Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Cathy McMorris Rodgers described the hearing as “a distraction.” “Today is purely political. President Biden needs cover for his war on American energy,” she said in her opening statement. Republicans also see a political advantage in energy prices, believing it’s an issue that could hurt Democrats entering the midterm elections. They used their time to talk about the Biden Administration’s moratorium on new drilling leases on federal lands and regulations they claim impede production. “Does this whole mountain of red tape by President [Biden] make it harder for you to produce more energy in America?” Rep. Steve Scalise asked. Most of the oil executives said yes. Republicans also criticized Democrats’

focus on expanding America’s supply of green energy, arguing it has resulted in less investment in fossil fuel production. DeGette said this debate around more drilling and more lease sales indicates to her that the country needs a long-term energy plan. “The things that Republicans were suggesting — more permitting, more pipelines, “drill, baby drill” — the executives told me when I talked to them before the hearing today, there is no switch to flip. It’s not like any of those things would help us get more supply today,” she said. She said the people who could were the executives testifying and they “refused to say what they would do.” Executives maintain that gas prices are complex, but DeGette argues they could take a cut in profits to reduce prices If there was a theme that the oil executives tried to emphasize — when they got a chance to answer more than a yes or no during the questioning — it was that gas pricing is complex. “Demand has recovered and is now surpassing pre-pandemic levels for many transportation fuels,” Chevron

President Gretchen Watkins noted in her written testimony. “But refinery throughput has not yet caught up with the post-pandemic surge in demand. The loss of Russian supply from the global market has only added pressure on an already strained refining industry that has yet to fully catch up with increasing demand.” There have been a number of proposals on both sides of the aisle floated to help reduce the price of oil, from a windfall tax for these producers to a gas tax holiday to easing the regulatory burden. DeGette asked the executives to go back to their boards and see what they could do to reduce prices at the pumps now, even if it meant a smaller profit for them. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said last week that her caucus wanted to wait and hear what the oil executives had to say before moving forward on any legislation.

Bulldogs survive late rally, wind for victory against Legend BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With a stiff, northerly wind blowing in the pitchers’ faces April 7, it was the sort of blustery day that could make Winnie the Pooh smile. Brighton’s sixth-inning rally was more than enough to make Andrew Schmeh and his coach, Justin Stringer, beam from ear to ear. Schmeh’s two-run single gave BHS the lead for good over Legend High School. Isaac Rodriguez added a two-run double, and Bryce Peterson added a scoring fly ball to give the Bulldogs a 7-6 win. BHS had to survive a rally by the Titans in the top of the seventh before the celebration could start. With two out, Connor Boyd singled home a run, and Kai Wagner followed with a two-run home run. Rodriguez gave up a single before recording the third out. “We believe in each other a lot,” Stringer said. “We’re a small group, and that’s by design. They outnumbered us 2-to-1. There’s strength in our small numbers.” Eddy and Brandon Stricklin drove in runs in Brighton’s half of the first inning. Cam Cartwright was responsible for the Titans’ first two runs, including a home run in the fourth inning. Wagner homered in the sixth inning to forge a 3-all tie. “If we can find a way to close the door, find me a Craig Kimbrel, we’d be set,” Stringer said. “Obviously, there’s going to be a drop-off from Brok. He’s the stallion out there. Our bats are a strength. Rodriguez is a topnotch shortstop. Bryce puts together good at-bats. Pitching is a strength. We just have to learn how to close games.” Eddy picked up the win for BHS. He struck out 10 over six innings. Legend’s Reece Wagner struck out nine in five-plus innings. “Both pitchers were really good,” Stringer said. “They are all-state caliber type arms. The score was not indicative of how well the game was played. I thought the game would be more of a 3-2, 4-3 game, even with the wind blowing out at 30-plus mph. Brok got a little tired at the end.

Two of those losses came in the last inning of those games. “I think we are one of the best teams in the state.

Robinson, CHSAA associate commissioner, dies BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When he thinks about Tom Robinson, the former associate commissioner of the Colorado High School Activities Association who died April 4, Bert Borgmann said a lot of things come to mind. “But at the forefront is fairness and mentor,” said Borgmann, who retired as an assistant commissioner with CHSAA at the end of the 2021 school year. “He was one of the fairest men I have ever met. He had a kindness and demeanor that made him special to all who knew him.” Robinson announced plans to retire at the end of the school year. A statement from CHSAANow.com said Robinson had several diagnoses. Reaction to the news pf the death of Robinson’s passing was quick and followed the same thought as Skyview High School girls basketball coach Chris Kemm. “Deeply saddened by this news,” Kemm tweeted. “Tom was a voice of reason, and absolute champion of student-athletes. Never turned away a call or back down from a good debate.” “I most appreciated Tom’s calm demeanor and ability to take difficult situations and work them in thoughtful ways to get the situation resolved,” said Northglenn athletic director Nick Kosovich. “He always had a positive outlook and always went out of this way to say hello and acknowledge you.” “Beyond the impact Tom has made in this association, our state and nationally over the course of his 30-plus year career as a coach, teacher, administrator, white hat referee, Hall of Famer, Big 12 replay expert, husband, father and grandfather, we are all better people for having had Tom in our lives,” CHSAA commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green said in a statement. Frederick High School athletic director Ty Gordon knew Robinson as a basketball official and as an athletic director. ‘Tom was one of the most kind, caring and kind-hearted people I have had the pleasure to meet and work with,’ Gordon said. “He was

an amazing leader and advocate for high school sports across the state of Colorado.” Helped when someone in need Former Commissioner Bob Ottewill hired Robinson, who was the first African-American administrator in the association’s history. During his time at CHSAA, Robinson was in charge of the officials and was the first administrator to assign a female official to work a boys basketball final four contest, according to CHSAANow.com. He also was in charge of CHSAA’s sportsmanship program plus boys and girls golf. Eagle Ridge Academy athletic director Zach Henning said Robinson was willing to help when someone was in need. “When I first started as an athletic director, Tom was always present in our league meetings and would present himself with a smile and kind attitude,” Henning said. “His knowledge of sports and CHSAA bylaws was second to nine. He was someone I could always lean on to give me a straight and honest answer and trust that he had CHSAA’s and my school’s best interests at heart.” The CHSAANow statement said Robinson “was an institution and a role model at the association and was widely respected throughout the entire membership for his exceptional passion and integrity.” “Tom was an inspiration in so many ways,” CHSAA assistant commissioner Bethany Brookens said in the statement. “He taught me how to play golf, he and Cleo taught us all how to have a wonderful and successful marriage, he taught me the officials’ mechanics for basketball and he gave me loyal friendship and a respect for all people. An incredible, ethical, good man and mentor; I miss Tom greatly already.” Inspirational Robinson graduated from Regis Jesuit High School before attending Colorado State University, where he competed in football, basketball and track and field. He began officiating in 1969, the same year he started his teaching

career at Regis. He taught math and coached several sports for 31 years before joining CHSAA in 2001. Robinson also served time as the president of the National Association of Sports Officials and was the replay coordinator of the Big12 Conference. “He was an advocate for officials around the state of Colorado and always pushed athletic directors to remember the third party of any game, the officials,” Henning said. “He also helped usher in further advances in sportsmanship throughout all athletics and activities in the state.” “Even from the outside looking in, Tom was definitely a person to aspire to be,” said Rashaan Davis, CHSAA’s first-ever assistant commissioner overseeing activities., in the statement “He always seemed cool, calm and collected, which is something I know I needed. So, to be a staff member now and understand that Tom laid the foundation for me being a black male working at CHSAA and

to be an educator coming into this role, to be patient and recognizing all voices at this level is very powerful. I don’t think anybody did it better. “It feels like standing on the shoulders of a giant and hopefully the work we all do will continue his legacy.” Survivors include his wife, Cleo Parker-Robinson, founder and director of Cleo Parker-Robinson Dance, and his son, Malik Robinson, executive director of Cleo Parker-Robinson Dance. “Tom was a true icon at the CHSAA office and will be deeply missed,” Gordon said. “CHSAA and all the Colorado high schools are better to have known Tom Robinson,” Henning said. “Our community lost a pioneer, a statesman and an amazing administrator.” “Throughout his life, whether as an official, teacher, CHSAA colleague, he mentored so many people making them better people,” Borgmann said. “I will miss him greatly.”

Public Notices call 303-566-4123 Legals City and County Public Notice NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS April 14, 2022 Adams County 4430 S. Adams County Parkway Brighton, CO 80601 (720) 523-6200 These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by Adams County. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant funds under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as City View Park Renovation Project for the purpose of improving City View Park, which is located at 8150 City View Drive in Adams County. The park, which is owned by Adams County, encompasses a significantly sloped parcel consisting of approximately 4.31 acres of primarily mowed grass and vegetation. The county proposes to add surface parking, new playground equipment, and possibly shelters, picnic tables, benches, trash cans, and other small-scale park facilities determined by community feedback. Approximately $600,000 in HUD funding will be involved in this project which will cost approximately $1.25 million total. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Adams County has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at 4430 S. Adams County Parkway, Brighton, CO 80601 and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M to 4:30 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to Adams County. All comments received by May 17, 2022 will be considered by Adams County prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION Adams County certifies to HUD that Lynn Baca in her capacity as Chair of the Board of County Commissioners consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Adams County to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and Adams County’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Adams County; (b) Adams County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD at 1670 Broadway, Denver, CO 80202. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
