Too much defense, too many turnovers end Warriors’ season

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

DENVER – Eagle Ridge Academy’s boys basketball team ran into a buzzsaw in the semi nals of the state 4A boys basketball tournament March 9.

Holy Family used pressure defense, which forced turnovers and caused the Warriors to get out of rhythm early in the contest at the Denver Coliseum.

e Tigers, the No. 17 seed in the tournament, won the game 65-41 and moved to the nals against No. 2 seed Resurrection Christian Saturday, March 9.

Eric Quintana led the Tigers with 16 points. Jaxon Grable tossed in 15, Rocco Bridges had 13, and Gabe Tafoya chipped in with 11.

Peyton Torres led the Warriors with 11 points. James “Kyren” Allen scored nine, and Cameron Seifert contributed eight.

Brighton approves residential speed limit

Neighborhood speeds reduced to 25 miles-per-hour

Councilors agreed to drop the speed limits on residential side streets from 30 to 25 miles per hour.

Yes, there will always be people who break the laws but the likelihood of people breaking the law is not a reason to not put one in place.”

Councilors voted 7-1 on second reading to make the change, bringing Brighton into compliance with an international tra c safety movement.

Brighton developing transportation master plan

Resident opinions sought via community survey

Brighton is beginning development of a citywide Bicycle, Pedestrian and Multimodal Transportation Master Plan, starting with public comments.

e city is gathering public comments online through April 7. Residents can log on to an editable map (https://rb.gy/sotmd5) and a community survey (https://rb.gy/ oee0n4) to get their opinions to the city.

is plan will envision the future pedestrian and bicycle network, ad-

vancing Brighton toward becoming a more comfortable and welcoming place for people walking, rolling, and biking.

e Bicycle, Pedestrian and Multimodal Transportation Master Plan will guide the City on how and where to strategically make improvements and address gaps in the places people walk and bike, incorporating public input, stakeholder input, and national best practices in bicycle and pedestrian planning and design. is new plan updates the active transportation vision included in the City’s Transportation Master Plan.

Goals and anticipated project outcomes of the plan include creating a vision and goals for a walkable, bikeable, and multimodal Brighton,

currently posted with a 20-mile-perhour speed limit.

a map of priority bicycle and pedestrian corridors, with bicycle facility types identi ed as well as strategies and performance measures to guide planning, funding, and implementation of projects. ose strategies will also address bicycle, pedestrian, and multimodal education within community, school district, and City of Brighton departments.

e plan should also create recommendations for more e cient uses of existing public right-of-way with regard to providing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and a capital improvement plan, a bike share/ bike library feasibility analysis and potential new trailhead locations.

e goal is for Brighton to achieve a higher designation than the current “Bicycle Friendly Community

- Honorable Mention” by the League of American Bicyclists

e project is expected to be completed by August 2023, with two chances to provide input - early on as part of the visioning and later following development of a draft plan. Other groups, representatives from the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, Bike Brighton, 27J Schools, RTD, Brighton sta and parks maintenance sta , will be part of the process, too. Information will also be available during the Full Moon Bike Ride on April 4 and the Bike Brighton booth at Brighton Summerfest on June 3 For more information, please visit

ornton and Westminster, have the same 25-miles-per-hour limit. Boulder is the only neighboring community with a slower limit, 20 miles per hour, Montoya said.

“Obviously this is not an end all, do all solution but rest assured we will be working on other parts as well,” Councilor Ann Taddeo said.

But the change was not universally popular. Tom Kendall, of 283 Longspur Drive was concerned it would increase the speed limit on his street, which is

Montoya said the change will not impact larger streets, such as Bromley Lane and Bridge Street. It won’t increase speed limits on areas that are already posted as 25 miles per hour or less, Montoya said.

“If something is posted at 20, is designed for 20 it will be regulated as 20. We won’t change those speeds,” Montoya said.

Still, Kendall said the change is not necessary. Better tra c signs are.

“We have streets in our neighborhood marked on one end, but we have all these feeder streets coming in and the speed is not marked there,”

Kendall said. “ ey have no idea what the speed limit is there, and they think they can do whatever they want on the street.”

Montoya said the new change does include plans to upgrade speed limit signs around the city.

Councilor Matt Johnston, the sole no-vote on the matter, said he does not think the change will help make the city safer.

“I don’t like to do things that just make us feel better and like we’re doing something. It does not always work that way,” Johnston said.

Johnston said other things, like better speed limit signs and more police trafc patrols, would have a bigger impact.

Speed limit signs in Brighton’s residential neighborhoods could be getting updated with lower speed limits. Councilors approved their final reading of a plan to drop residential speed limits from 30 miles-per-hour to 25 at their March 7 meeting. PHOTO BY

milestone for Amprius,” said Dr. Kang Sun, Chief Executive O cer of Amprius Technologies. “We worked closely with the State of Colorado, the Colorado Economic Development Commission, Adams County, and the City of Brighton to align on terms that are mutually bene cial, which includes a comprehensive incentive proposal.”

Amprius also selected the Brighton, Colorado location because of its potential to streamline time-to-market and support e ective customer ful llment. e site’s size, its proximity to essential materials, the transportation structure and the electric power and structural layout are expected to help reduce build-out costs as well as logistical and operational costs. Additional acreage at the site also has the potential to enable future expansions for a total potential manufacturing capacity

of 10 GWh.

e rst phase of the expansion is expected to create 332 net new jobs in Brighton with an average annual wage of $68,516.

Amprius plans to invest $190 million, including a $50 million cost-sharing grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s O ce of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains, to provide a potential capacity of up to 5 gigawatt hours . at’s part of a cost-sharing demonstration grant from Biden Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support domestic battery production.

Brighton also stepped up to lure the company in, o ering a ve-year rebate of all property taxes the city would collect — about $85,000 per year. e city also agreed to rebate half of the use tax that would be paid on construction materials for the site’s renovation.

In all, Brighton Communications Director Kristen Chernosky said the city’s incentives add up to about $929,050.

“Brighton City Council and the City of Brighton leadership team are

excited to welcome Amprius Technologies Inc. to our community,” said Robin Martinez, president and CEO of the Brighton Economic Development Corporation. “We have a highly-skilled workforce and a collaborative regional approach to attracting and supporting new and existing companies in Brighton.”

e Adams County Board of County Commissioners is also scheduled to consider an economic development

incentive agreement at a March 14 public meeting.

“We are happy to welcome Amprius to Adams County and look forward to a continued partnership as they grow and develop their innovative battery technology right here in Brighton,” Board Chair Steve O’Dorisio said. “ e jobs they create will not only bene t our current local residents but also help to expand future career paths in the renewable energy sector.”

Brighton gets their goats for good

Two year test program finds no problems with miniature goats

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Worries about noise, smells and overall nuisances that Brighton o cials had concerning backyard goats two years ago didn’t come to pass, councilors agreed at their March 7 meeting.

Councilors voted to end a limited pilot program that started in Feb. 2021 designed to test how well neighbors would tolerate having a small herd of miniature goats in their neighborhood.

“It hasn’t turned out to be the asco that everyone imagined,” City Councilor Ann Taddeo said. “I am very, very happy that we are going to make it included Councilor Mary Ellen Pollack, the sole no vote when the city began “ at was quite a time. We were not sure which way to go, and we had a lot

of yeses and a lot of nos,” Pollack said. Tuesday. “I’d never really been around goats, miniature or otherwise. But they are adorable and I’m glad this can continue.”

Pilot program begins

Councilors discussed the idea for more than a year before starting the pilot program. It rst came up in 2019 after Ward 2 resident Jennifer Council, who owned goats, received a notice that she had to get rid of them. e city polled residents and found most who responded favored allowing goats. According to the survey, those opposed to the idea were concerned about enforcement, smell, goat owner education and noise, among others.

Under the miniature goat pilot program that began in 2021, residents with 7,500 square foot lots or larger could keep two of the animals — not fewer and not more. Both must be female, no taller than 24.5 inches at the tallest point of the back and must be disbudded. at’s a process that burns o the tissue that grows into horns.

Brighton goats must have up-to-date rabies vaccines and on-site slaughtering or breeding operations are not allowed. Only single-family detached properties could keep goats, as long as the property owner agrees. e goat

keepers must apply for a permit with the city, which will conduct two inspections — one of the pen and shelter for the animals and a second of the animals to meet the city’s requirements, paying a $100 permit fee.

Goat keepers will also have to take an open-book test on keeping the animals, getting a score of at least 80%.

One house got their goats

Long Range Planner Shannon McDowell said there were several inquiries but only one resident ended up participating and keeping the goats.

ey were inspected regularly several times over the recent two years.

“ ey found absolutely no concerns, no noises, no smells and no complaints,” McDowell said. “So, we feel like we had adopted a pretty good program that took care of all of the potential downfalls that could come from such an action.”

e council put a two-year limit on the pilot program, and it was scheduled

“ at’s why we are here tonight, to propose permanency,” McDowell said.

e pilot program did limit the number of permits to 10, but that limit was removed Tuesday night as well.

Councilor Tom Green noted that homeowners associations do have a

say, as well.

“In fact, we did have some folks who were interested in participating in the pilot program, but they could not get permission from their HOA, so they did not get a permit,” McDowell said.

Perhaps the biggest turnaround

“I will, one day, have some,” Pollack

“I would like to have them and I’m glad we have made this permanent,” Pollack said. “I think they help, emotionally, kind of like puppies do. So I’m happy we are moving this.”

Courage, discretion and making a choice WINNING

Discretion is the better part of valor,” “Caution is preferrable to rash bravery,” and “ e better part of valor is discretion, in the which better part I have saved my life.”

- All attributed to William Shakespeare

e father and son were skiing together and had decided to head into a tight tree run. e son being in his late teens, and still somewhat made out of rubber, encouraged his dad, who had just turned 51 into joining him on the run. As they picked their way across the top of the run looking for the best entry point, the son without warning dropped into a powder stash and was quickly on his way down the mountain.

e dad stood there on his skis looking for his own entry point down. e longer he stood there, the more nervous he became, and the more nervous he became, the more his muscles tensed and froze. With no way back out, he remembered something he had heard in his life, “God hates a coward.” He wasn’t sure where he had heard it, but the timing was right as it was all the persuasion he needed as

he pointed his tips over the ledge and took o down the mountain after his son.

Happy to report that both father and son were reunited safely at the bottom.

I share that story as one recently shared with me because not too long ago I happened to be playing golf with a couple of customers. One of the guys in our group kept nding himself in trouble, meaning always hitting out of the woods or over water, playing a bit of rescue golf all day. I was standing next to him as he was trying to line up a shot around a tree. He kept walking around trying to decide to just punch the ball out or go for the risky shot that called for an intentional draw around the tree. He looked over at me and said, “God hates a coward,” and swung away. Happy to report that although his ball did not nd the green, it ended up

just a few yards short. It was a magnicent shot.

We have all been faced with moments of decision on when we should choose discretion over rash bravery, and hopefully we have all decided in those most critical decision points of life that indeed discretion was the better part of valor. Making a bad decision could end up in serious injury. Making a bad decision in golf will just usually end up with several lost balls and a very bad score. But decisions when it comes to family, health, nances, careers and other key areas of life require us to use judgment and discernment before rushing into something that could cause us much greater harm than good.

Is it always the case? No, sometimes those quick or rash decisions work out. I have had a few of those over the years where my instincts took over and I went with my gut, meeting with tremendous success. However, I can share with you that I have also made many bad decisions to take an immediate action, being brave or courageous at the absolute wrong time, and

well, those turned out as you would expect, some injury, heartache, and metaphorically a lot of lost golf balls and high scores in life.

I love this quote from Matt Damon’s character in “We Bought a Zoo”: “You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just literally 20 seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.”

Using Shakespeare’s quotes to temper enthusiasm in the heat of the moment, with the thought that God hates a coward, and all I need is 20 seconds of insane courage, has helped keep my balance. Do you know when and how to choose wisely? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we nd that balance between discretion and courage, it really will be a better than good life.

Turn to urban green areas to fix our water woes

We’ve been told we have to build, build, build!

Build so that we will have enough housing for our projected 2050 population…Build so that we can provide a ordable housing.

Build, Build, Build!

And this is all being done at the expense of nite resources, such as land, lumber, and especially water!

So, apparently, the latest “Solution” is to use cement and asphalt, instead of irrigated lawn and trees to enable even more building and growth!

In the rst place, growth is not always good. For instance, cancer is a growth, but that does not make it good.

We must plan for “sustainable growth” with sustainable technologies, rather than any and all growth and building. One of the most sustainable things we can do is to re-use existing buildings and infrastructure. Many older buildings are constructed of brick or masonry and already have infrastructure such as water pipes, electricity, gas pipes, roads, etc. in place, rather than having to extend all new utilities to buildings proposed of lumber construction.

By the way, lumber-constructed structures are at a far greater risk of re spread and damage than structures made of brick and masonry.

But back to water: Before the midterm elections, Jared Polis and Heidi

Ganahl were determined to let us know that Colorado has high priority water rights compared to other states and that storage of this water is the solution.

What?

Lake Powell is a water storage project that is running so low that the dam will not be able to function unless we drain water from other sources just to ll it up to bare minimum capacity. So creating a bunch of mini Lake Powells is supposed to be the answer to our water situation? Really?

Water Storage is n ot the solution. In fact, it is really a major part of the problem!

When we pipe water from one slope to the next and let once owing rivers run dry, just to ll “Water Storage Facilities” (dams, etc.) all we are doing is dehydrating our natural landscapes and opening them up to greater re danger along the way. We also cut o drinking sources for plants and wildlife.

I do support one form of water storage; beavers are great at constructing natural dams to create ecosystems that protect forests and other plants from re damage while also creating ponds for sh and other animals who depend on a steady-year-round water supply. e human solution to this dilemma, unfortunately, is to build tall dams

out of concrete (6% of the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions come from cement production) and dole out the water for human consumption only. We are supposed to relegate our surroundings to xeric (drought-resistant planting) areas, after all, this is the semi-arid southwest and it is not natural to have trees and lawns in the semi-arid southwest, right?

Well, guess what else isn’t natural in the semi-arid Southwest? You guessed it, millions of people living in houses made of imported lumber, driving around in carbon-emitting automobiles on petroleum-based asphalt streets, from stores to schools to work, etc. is is all not natural. Yet, these unnatural scenarios are considered necessary, while the green and cooling spaces - not to mention carbon sequestering spaces -within our new urban landscapes are the things that have to go?

Urban uses for water account for approximately 10-20% in Colorado, with landscaping needs accounting for only about 2% to 4%. e bigger percentage of water use is for agriculture. Raising cattle is a huge source of water depletion, especially when we appropriate large amounts of water to irrigate pasture land- often at the expense and needs of our native animals and environment. In fact, I could take a shower each day for ve months and still not use all the water that it takes to

“raise” one pound of beef. at’s 1,850 gallons of water!

Personally, I would rather experience the cooling and carbon-sequestering e ects of a limited lawn area and many trees, right here in the city, rather than irrigating remote pastures for cattle or washing down meat-processing plants, further polluting even more of our open waters.

I can enjoy birds, squirrels and urban wildlife in the park or in my yard while eating a protein-packed veggie burger with a low water and carbon footprint rather than staying inside to turn on the air conditioning and eating a beef hamburger! By the way, most air conditioning is fueled by electricity that is generated from fossil fuels. Fracking to extract natural gas, etc requires large amounts of water. So, we are really not “saving water” by getting rid of lawn and shade trees that can shade and cool our environment by up to 20 degrees and exchanging them for the need of even more air conditioning in our homes, anyway!

Af ter more than 20 years of collecting pinball machines, Dan Nikolich’s basement had run out of space to store them all. So Nikolich opened the Colorado Pinball Pub in Littleton to share his collection.

“Pinball is a unique thing because it doesn’t matter what your background or walk of life is, pinball will draw you in,” he said. “It’s a great equalizer because it only takes one ball.”

While the concept of offering drinks and games at one location is nothing new, the Denver area is host to a number of unique takes on the Dave and Buster’s business model.

Colorado Pinball Pub is one of the newer additions to the barcade scene, having opened in 2020. The pub offers 22 pinball machines, plus a few classic arcade games like PacMan and Centipede, for unlimited play for $15 per hour.

Nikolich’s love for games started young, when he was growing up in Las Vegas and working for the MGM Arcade, so he was happy to see the recent rise in pinball’s popularity.

“Pinball is having a great resurgence right now. The last few years it’s been really hot,” he said. “We have parents who will bring their kids who have never played pinball and, at night, we get a lot of adults and date nights, stuff like that. All people seem to like pinball.”

Like the pub’s patrons, the pinball machines available range in age and theme, with Nikolich’s oldest machine being from 1981. The walls of the pub also pay homage to the history of the game, including its prohibition from 1940s to the 1970s, with pictures and news clippings.

In addition to pinball, the pub features over 150 kinds of whiskey, craft cocktails and Colorado brewed beer.

Nikolich said the goal is to have something for everyone and to make it approachable, whether that’s pinball or whiskey.

“We want you to come and learn about it and not be intimidated to ask if you don’t know something, we want to teach you, so that you can enjoy something new,” he said.

On the opposite side of the metro area, another

one-of-a-kind barcade is Akihabara, which, while located in Westminster, transports visitors to the Tokyo gaming district that gives the business its name.

Owner Brandon Osha said he was blown away when he had the chance to visit Akihabara and take in its blocks of multi-story arcades.

“The first time I went to Akihabara I knew I wanted to bring that here because it’s amazing,” Osha said.

He did just that by opening Akihabara in 2016.

Similar to Nikolich, Osha grew up with a love of gaming and worked at a local arcade and GameStop. Instead of pinball though, Osha’s games of choice came in arcade cabinets, which he began collecting at age 16.

Currently, Akihabara offers 52 arcade cabinets with around 65 games, but Osha has plans to expand his location with 25 new games and additional space, which he said will be complete this summer.

Osha said the game selection, which includes fighting games, rhythm games and nostalgic classics, definitely sets Akihabara apart.

“You never see this many (arcade cabinets) in one

place,” he said. “We have such a different variety of games that you won’t find anywhere else in Colorado.”

One of the stranger and more rare games Akihabara offers is a Japanese table flipping game called Cho Chabudai, but more well-known games include Third Strike, Monkeyball, Typing of the Dead and Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. All of the games are $1 or less to play.

Osha said a lot of people come in seeking a specific game that’s hard to find anywhere else, but he encourages visitors to try whatever piques their interest, even if they can’t necessarily read the Japanese instructions.

“I think it’s a lot of games that people have never seen, but they might find something that they like,” he said. “Plus, it’s usually only three buttons and a joystick, so they’re not too hard to learn.”

Akihabara’s focus on Japanese culture carries over into the bar offerings, which include Japanese beers and cocktails made with Japanese liquor, as well as a variety of packaged snacks and ramen options.

Overall, Osha said he tries to provide a space that’s both niche and for everyone, describing the Akihabara crowd as a welcoming hodgepodge.

“If you’re looking to find a friend, you’ll find one around here somewhere,” he said.

Akihabara owner Brandon Osha plays a fighting game at the barcade on Feb. 23. Located in Westminster, Akihabara o ers Japanese inspired games and drinks, with a unique selection of arcade cabinets.

Ravens ready for another league title run

A year ago, the Riverdale Ridge baseball team won the Longs Peak crown, won 17 of 25 games and advanced to the second round of the state 4A baseball tournament.

Coach Ray Garza doesn’t think there’s anything in the way of a potential repeat e ort in 2023. One reason is senior pitcher Ty ompson, who signed a college letter of intent to play at the University of Northern Colorado in NCAA Division I baseball next year. ompson allowed 22 earned runs in 50 innings last year.

“Appearing in most of our games last season, he showed ashes of being a dominating pitcher throughout the year,” Garza said. “His success has carried over to the entire pitching sta , which includes returning athletes Daniel Hoodak (27.2 innings pitched in 2022 and an earned-run average of 4) and Jaiden Villareal.”

Garza called his starting rotation “solid.”

“ ey have helped us in the past, and while they are taking on di erent roles this season, they have been preparing over the last

year to take on the new challenges that lie ahead,” Garza said.

Former CHSAA assistant commissioner Borgmann remembered

Rice Krispy treats, service to others called part of his legacy

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

AURORA -- Callie Kryder said the people who attended a celebration of life service for her late father, former Colorado High School Activities assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann, knew him for di erent reasons.

“But I’d like to tell you a few things that he loved that you didn’t know about,” she said March 4 at Smoky Hill United Methodist Church in Aurora.

“He loved Rice Krispy treats and Diet Coke. Every time we went somewhere, he’d stop at a gas station, buy a

20-ounce Diet Coke and one of those foot-long Rice Krispy treats.”

Bert Borgmann died from complications of hip surgery in January. He spent 33 years at CHSAA before retiring in 2021.

His brother, Bruce, was 15 months younger than Borgmann.

“It made us more than brothers,” he said. “We could be sidekicks .. and even friends. ere were times when we didn’t get along, and our parents made us get along.”

Bruce Borgmann’s “issues” were with his brother’s employment at CHSAA. Bruce Borgmann said once people recognized his last name, they started peppering him with complaints about CHSAA, his brother and high school athletics/activities in general.

“You often don’t meet your heroes. ey often disappoint you,” said Bert Borgmann’s son, Logan. “I was raised by my hero. I learned how to break bad news to people, how to best present myself. I paid attention to what he said and how he said it. He never missed a chance to make memories with us. Every place he took us was a chance to learn.”

Bert Borgmann loved cheese-andcracker snacks, books (“He eventually moved to an e-reader. He thought it would save the rainforest,” Kryder said) Southwestern art and wooden spoons.

“He loved his cell phone. He was always on the phone. He was on the phone while having a conversation with you,” Kryder said.

“He’d get halfway through a sentence, and you’d wonder, ‘and what?’” she said.

“He put me on a team in a scramble golf tournament. He said it was because of my power o the tee,” Logan Borgmann said of his dad. “I found out it was an excuse to spend more time with me.

With the exception of an early rstquarter lead, ERA played from behind.

“ ey came out with a little more energy,” Torres said. “ ey started hitting shots. When you fall behind early, it’s hard to dig yourself out of that hole. It’s unfortunate. We didn’t get out of that hole.”

“If we play together, no one can stop us,” he said. “We’ve played together for so long. We know how to play o each other.”

“We honestly like having that chip on our shoulder,” said the Tigers’ Rocco Bridges. “It makes us try a little harder. We just have come out here and compete every night and get the win.”

ERA nishes with a mark of 21-6.

e Warriors will need to nd replacements for Hill, Torres, Allen Eli Garcia, Daniel Olivas-Rey, Michael Mignogna

“It shows we were a good group of seniors,” Hill said. “We played hard. We played as a team.”

“I’m proud of this whole season,” Allen said. “We worked hard this season, and we all wanted the ring this year, too, especially because of the school’s past and how ERA had a losing record ever since they started. It’s good to see how much we have grown from freshmen to now.”

“We have a good culture here,” Torres said. “At one point, we had three wins (in a season). We showed we can build a program. We’re about to graduate, and we’re getting back-toback 20-win seasons. We care about each other. I only see this program going up from here.”

INTRODUCED BY: Blackhurst

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON, COLORADO, AMENDING ARTICLE 9 OF THE BRIGHTON MUNICIPAL CODE TO UPDATE HARASSMENT LANGUAGE, INCREASE THE VALUE LIMIT FOR THEFTS, CLARIFY TRESPASS, AND ADD COMPARABLE STATE LANGUAGE FOR INTERFERING WITH A POLICE OFFICER

WHEREAS, on March 22, 2022, in People v. Moreno, 506 P.3d 849, 857 (Colo. 2022), the Colorado Supreme Court held the phrase “intended to harass” in Section 18-9-111(1)(e), C.R.S., to be unconstitutionally overbroad; and

WHEREAS, Brighton Municipal Code Section 9-16-90(a)(4), harassment, includes the unconstitutionally overbroad phrase “intended to harass”; and

WHEREAS, Brighton Municipal Code Section 9-12-10(b)(3), acts constituting trespass, is confusing, does not support the City’s goal of deterring individuals from trespassing, and could lead to absurd results by allowing a defendant to enter into another person’s motor vehicle, motor home, trailer home, or trailer if the motor vehicle, motor home, trailer home, or trailer is on the defendant’s property even if the defendant did not have permission to enter; and

WHEREAS, the City of Brighton has an overriding interest in prohibiting motor vehicle, motor home, trailer home, or trailer trespasses regardless of the location of the offense or the defendant’s intent while entering the motor vehicle, motor home,

303-566-4123

trailer home, or trailer; and

WHEREAS, thefts in the City of Brighton are a major concern to the safety of the community and goods have increased in price substantially over the past several years; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 16-4-113(2)(b), C.R.S., a municipal court is prohibited from imposing a monetary condition of release for a defendant charged with a municipal offense for which there is no comparable state misdemeanor offense that does not have substantially similar elements to a state misdemeanor offense; and

WHEREAS, Brighton Municipal Code Section 9-4-40, interfering with arresting police officer, has no comparable state misdemeanor offense because the elements under BMC Section 9-4-40 are not substantially similar Section 16-4-113(2) (b), C.R.S.; and

WHEREAS, the City Council therefore finds and determines that amending Section 9-4-40 of the Brighton Municipal Code so that there is a comparable state misdemeanor offense, which would allow the municipal court to issue a monetary condition of release, is in the best interest of the City of Brighton; and

WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the above proposed amendments shall enhance, protect, and otherwise further the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Brighton.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON, COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS:

If such meeting is requested, the owner and the City Council or its appointee shall meet with either the board of county commissioners, or its appointee, or the board of any affected special district, or its appointee, not more than thirty days after the meeting was requested.

Section 2. All sections, subsections, and definitions of the LUDC not expressly amended or modified herein remain in full force and effect.

a. Permit required. It shall be unlawful for any person to keep miniature goats within City limits without first having obtained a City miniature goat keeping permit as required by this Section 6-4-900.

1. Filing. Applications for a miniature goat keeping permit under the provisions of this Chapter shall be on a form furnished by the Director of Community Development or Designee and submitted to the Community Development Department for review.

2. Applications. The Director of Community Development shall not accept an application that is incomplete. If an omission or error is discovered by the Director of Community Development, the application shall be rejected and returned to the applicant for completion and correction without further action by the Director of Community Development. All fees shall be returned with the application. For purposes of this Chapter, the date the Director of Community Development accepts an application which is complete in every detail shall be the filing date.

3. Compliance with City regulation. No miniature goat keeping permit shall be issued until:

(a) The permittee has received information pertaining to the keeping of goats including, but not limited to, animal husbandry, care, disease prevention and management, and methods to minimize the risks of exposure to Q fever during the goat birthing process;

7. Periodic Inspection.
