Adams County leaders presented the State of the Region on May 18, with politicians and business executives championing the county’s work over the past year.

Speakers included Lynn Baca, chair of Adams County board of commissioners, and Gov. Jared Polis. They were followed by a panel featuring Same Bailey, manager of economic development for Amazon, Doug Campbell, co-founder and CEO of Solid Power, and Steve VanNurden, president and CEO of Fitzsimons Innovation Community.

Adams City High School Class of 2022 takes flight

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

May 21 was a snowy cold day, but the 2022 Adams City High School Eagles graduates took flight to the next phase in life by

moving commencement ceremonies into the gym. Members of the Class of 2022 were celebrated with balloons and family cheering them on with more than 309 students receiving their high school diplomas.

Many Adams City High School seniors decorated their mortar boards for graduation ceremonies May 21. Angel Rascon’s hat translated to: “To God, thank you, I made it.

And to my parents for their support and sacrifice.” And Everlin Javier-Gomez’s hat translated to: “For you, for you, thank you mom and dad.”

The Adams City High School Band’s saxophone section plays music as the commencement ceremony ends and students leave the gym to celebrate.

rental assistance funds helped keep families in stable housing.

“For the unstable economy and with inflation, it’s important to continue creating quality jobs,” she said.

50 ways to save money On the state level, Polis said Colorado is on a strong economic recovery, ranking fifth compared to the other 49 states in the country.

“More people are employed today than pre-pandemic or ever before,” he said.

Polis also applauded what he and the State Legislature has done to save Coloradoans money, to the tune of Paul Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.”

“Just cut the tax, Max. Lowered the rate, Nate. You don’t need to pay more, Thor. Just send your kids for free to preschool and kindergarten,” he sang.

He also reminded listeners that Coloradoans will be getting a rebate of at least $500 this year.

“That’s about $75 million right back to Adams County residents and about $86 million right back to Adams County residents for couples,” he said.

The governor also touted a $700 million statewide property tax relief package that will decrease property tax bills by $300 for a house in Adams County. “(I) appreciate that there’s a strong real estate market,” Polis

said. “(For) homeowners, their assets are going up, but that’s tough, when that property tax goes up and your income doesn’t keep up.”

He explained that residential property taxes in Colorado are much lower than commercial property taxes, so small businesses and other commercial property will see greater relief.

A commercial property in Commerce City or Thornton worth $500,000 will see its annual tax bill reduced by $1,900, Polis said.

Families with preschoolers will also see an estimated $4,700 in their pockets after the legislature passed universal preschool this past session.

“We want to have this county be family friendly. We want it to be affordable for families,” Polis said.

ployees was the first topic addressed by the panel, and Campbell emphasized the importance of a healthy work culture to attract young people.

“This is really important for a lot of young folks out there,” he said.

For Campbell, his company’s mission is to transition to a clean energy and clean transportation economy.

He said Colorado is an attractive place to be due to the state’s landscape and quality of life.

VanNurden talked about the importance of diversity in the medical field, which translates into any other field. He spoke of not only diverse backgrounds and experiences but also diverse skill sets and knowledge, such as medical professionals learning from business professionals and vice versa.

He said Adams County is on the map for industry and commercial

endeavors.

“We used to be a flyover state,” he said. “Over the last six years now, we’ve had 600 companies come to (Fitzsimons Innovation Community) to see what’s going on in the innovation associated with that.”

To continue to attract talent to the state, VanNurden said families think about whether it is safe to move to a new place and where their kids will go to school, and he urged local elected officials to focus on these things.

An advantage Colorado has, Campbell and VanNurden said, is the amount of research institutions in the state and the amount of research being done.

“There’s just a phenomenal amount of research going on here that is relevant to commercial industry,” Campbell said.

Most of all, Colorado possesses a “to-do” culture. “(Colorado’s) culture of doing the hard work and not overhyping things, and to me, that’s what makes us very, very unique,” Bailey said. “From a cultural standpoint, we’re wired to avoid the hype, put your head down and get the job done.”

In offering advice to elected officials, panel members recommended local government bodies approve proposals and other business related items quickly.

“Speed is really important and the ability to get things approved much quicker, as quickly as we can, and still do it the right way,” VanNurden said. “It really is our competitive advantage.”

value of a residential property is waived as long as doing so doesn’t cause the assessed property value to fall below $1,000.

• For commercial properties, the assessment rate in 2023 is reduced to 27.9% from 29%. Additionally, the first $30,000 in taxable value of a commercial property is waived as long as doing so doesn’t cause the assessed property value to fall below $1,000.

Are you confused about how this will affect your property tax bill? That’s OK. We’re here to help.

Assessment rates are important because they are used to calculate how much someone owes in taxes. The rate is multiplied by a home’s assessed value, which is determined by a county assessor.

What a property owner pays is then determined by the mill levy rate. A mill is a $1 payment on every $1,000 of assessed value.

The 2023 reduction will mean that a residential property owner who owns a home with an assessed value of $300,000 in an area with a mill levy of 100 will pay $1,963 versus $2,145.

In 2024, the rates will go up slightly. For single-family residential property owners, the assessment rate will be approximately 6.95%, down from 7.15%.

For multifamily residential property, the rate will be 6.8%.

For those who own commercial property used for agriculture and to produce renewable energy, the 2024 assessment rate will be 26.4%, down from 29%.

The 2024 rates match a reduction approved for the 2021 and 2022 tax years under a measure passed by the legislature in 2021.

Finally, the legislature extended a change allowing senior citizens to defer all of the increases in their property taxes until they sell their homes while allowing everyone else to defer any increases over 4%.

Another measure passed this year, House Bill 1416, that Polis also signed into law May 16 requires county assessors to include an estimate of the property taxes each property owner owes when mailing out notices of property valuation changes. The notices also must include an alert to property owners about the June 8 deadline to file an assessment appeal.Big TABOR refund checks are coming Individual Colorado taxpayers will be mailed a check of at least $500 while joint filers will get at least $1,000.

their tax returns on time will get the checks in late August or early September, while those with extensions will get their checks sometime later.

Where is this money coming from? An estimated $2 billion in tax revenue collected by the state this fiscal year, which ends June 30, in excess of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights cap on government growth and spending, which is calculated based on inflation and population growth.

The money had to be refunded regardless, but Senate Bill 233, passed by the legislature this year, moved up the timeline and aimed to make the refunds more equitable by increasing the amount of money lower-income earners would get while decreasing the amount higher-income earners would receive.

Colorado taxpayers could get even larger refund checks if tax revenue in May and June is above what’s projected by nonpartisan legislative staff and economists in the governor’s office.

Additionally, Coloradans will also get an income tax rate cut to 4.5% from 4.55% because of the TABOR excess.

Gasoline fees won’t start until April 2023 Colorado motorists were set to be charged a new, 2-cent-pergallon fee on gasoline starting in July under a bill passed by the legislature in 2021 intended to raise money for transportation projects. But lawmakers this year

LINDA SHAPLEY Publisher lshapley@coloradocommunitymedia.com

passed House Bill 1351, which was signed into law May 16 by Polis, delaying the start of the fee until April 2023.

The legislature is spending about $45 million from its general fund to backfill the lost revenue.

“It’s official!” Polis said after signing the bill into law. “No new fees on gas!”

Fact check: There will be new fees on gasoline, just not until April 1, 2023. And those fees, by the way, are permanent and will rise to 8 cents per gallon starting on July 1 and could go up in subsequent years based on inflation.

Business tax and fee breaks Polis signed three bills into law May 16 that will reduce businesses’ costs.

Senate Bill 6 will let small businesses with less than $100,000 in taxable sales per sales tax filing period — which is typically each month — keep 5.3% of the sales tax they owe the state, up from 4%. The relief lasts one year and is forecast to total about $5 million.

Senate Bill 124 lets S corporations and partnerships — known as pass-through businesses — retroactively pay their state income taxes dating back to 2018 through their businesses rather than through their owners.

The bill lets the owners avoid a temporary federal $10,000 cap on federal income tax deductions for individual income taxpayers.

That cap doesn’t exist, however, for C corporations, meaning that

Senate Bill 124 will let those businesses take a larger deduction.

House Bill 1001 temporarily reduces business filing fees in Colorado owed to the Secretary of State’s Office to $1 from a range of $10 to $50. The fees are typically charged for annual business registration renewal, new trade name registrations and renewals and updates to business information.

The legislature is spending $16.7 million from its general fund to replace the lost revenue.

The cost of getting, renewing a driver’s license will remain flat — for now Renewing your driver’s license in the near future? You’ll save about $2 under House Bill 1004, which Polis signed into law and allocates nearly $4 million to the Division of Motor Vehicles to prevent a fee increase.

The current cost to get or renew a driver’s license is $30.87, and the DMV was expected to increase the fee in the coming years to cover its rising costs.

Like the gas fee, however, don’t expect the break to last forever.

The relief is only set to last two years.

Adams City’s Saenz: First time in track, first time to state

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

LAKEWOOD -- Talk about a good opening act.

Adams City’s Maria Saenz had never run track and field before this spring. Needless to say, she was surprised when she qualified for this year’s class 5A state girls track-and-field meet at Jeffco Stadium.

What’s more, when her heat of the 400-meter dash finished, she found out she advanced to the finals Saturday, May 21, with a qualifying time of 58.69 seconds.

She finished ninth in the May 22 finals with a time of 1:00.86.

“It was one of my better starts,” she said. “But I didn’t finish like I was supposed to. I got out. I did what my coach said, but I burned too much energy.”

She was running in front of a lot more people than she’s accustomed to seeing at track meets.

“It gets my adrenaline pumping,” she said. “But I was nervous, because it’s state.”

Saenz called the atmosphere “positive.”

“I wanted to stay in shape,” said Saenz, who is a senior. “It was a great season. I didn’t think I could get trained to the point where I could get offers from colleges for

track.”

Trinidad State Junior College is in the lead for her services. She hasn’t made a decision. Saenz said distance from home was a partial

factor in choosing a college.

“I don’t want to be too close, but I don’t want to be more than eight hours from home,” Saenz said.

“This opened up a few more

doors,” she continued. “I think with some more training, I would have been more perfectly cut, had better training. It makes me feel proud of myself.”

Colorado milk bank sees uptick in donations Formula shortage continues nationwide

may be able to turn to if they can’t find formula on store shelves.

BY MEGAN VERLEE COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

The nationwide infant formula shortage has caused an increase in families seeking to purchase donated milk in Colorado according to Mother’s Milk Bank, an Arvadabased nonprofit that collects and distributes donated breast milk.

However, the group has also seen an increase in women donating milk, and they’re looking for more volunteers.

“We started to say, ‘Don’t forget donated milk as a resource,’” said Jodye Whitesell, communications director for Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation, which operates the bank. In response, they’ve seen “a pretty big spike in phone calls for donations.”

Mother’s Milk Bank is one of the largest of the 32 non-profit milk banks in North America and distributes across Colorado, as well as to numerous other states. The vast majority of its supplies go to neonatal ICUs, but it also serves around 30 to 40 outpatient families a week, according to Whitesell.

Colorado’s Department of Human Services is partnering with the bank to encourage donations of both milk and money to help cover the processing fee for lower-income families.

The state is also warning parents of the dangers of diluting formula or trying to make their own at home, and providing resources for places families in the WIC program

Oversight hearing on the cause of the shortage Senior executives with the three biggest formula makers — Abbott Nutrition, Gerber Products Company, and Reckitt — will appear before a Congressional oversight committee chaired by Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette to answer questions about the shortage.

“There’s no excuse for what’s happening all across this country right now,” said DeGette in a statement announcing the hearing. “We want to know from the witnesses we hear from next week exactly what happened and how it happened; but more importantly we want to know what needs to be done to get more infant formula on the shelves as quick as possible.”

The panel will also hear from top officials at the FDA. The Food and Drug Administration recently announced it will streamline the process for overseas makers of formula to import their products, if they meet U.S. safety and nutritional standards.

The Biden Administration is also trying to increase domestic supply and has reached a deal to reopen a shuttered Michigan plant whose closure precipitated the acute shortage. However, it will take more than a month before formula from the factory reaches store shelves.

One man’s message about cannabis-induced psychosis Attempt to address other issues led to terrifying time

BY DANA KNOWLES, JEREMY MOORE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Five years ago, Ethan Andrew had what he describes as the most terrifying experience of his life.

“I had what’s called cannabisinduced psychosis. It’s a break from reality after ingesting too much high-potency marijuana.

I was having schizophrenia-like symptoms, like seeing things and hearing things weren’t there. I was super paranoid that people were following me,” said Andrew, who started using cannabis because he thought it would help with his anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He said it took two months for the symptoms of psychosis to pass. But for Andrew, not know-

ing the difference between his dreams and reality was the worst part of what he went through.

“I had a dream that my friends and I went hiking and the next day I’d hang out with them and be like, ‘Guys, wasn’t that so fun?’ And they’d be like, ‘What are you talking about?’ It was such a surreal experience when you’re awake, you don’t know if you’re actually dreaming,” Andrew described.

He started smoking cannabis when he was 16, and the symptoms of cannabis-induced psychosis started when Andrew was 18, after several months of smoking what he called highpotency marijuana every day.

“For comparison, when our parents were growing up, cannabis maxed out at like 5 to 10 percent THC, and now just the flower at the dispensary you can’t find anything lower than 20 to 30 percent,” Andrew said.

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main psychoactive com-

pound in cannabis that produces the “high” a person feels after consumption. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says the amount of THC in today’s marijuana is three times higher than what it was before 1995. According to studies compiled by the National Institutes of Health, smoking marijuana with high concentrations of THC can increase a person’s risk of experiencing psychosis.

“You just typically think more THC means a better high, you don’t think, well, what is this chemical I’m putting in my body? What is this chemical doing to my developing brain? You don’t have those questions when you’re a stoner,” Andrew said.

Now, Andrew is 23 and his life is a stable one. He hasn’t smoked in five years.

“I was so scared of getting schizophrenia or having that be ongoing and never going away that I had no temptations to go back to smoking weed at all,” he said.

These days, Andrew has a job he enjoys, a girlfriend and he is starting school in the fall to obtain his associate degree from the Community College of Denver. Regular therapy and exercise help manage his anxiety, depression and obsessivecompulsive disorder.

“Recovery is possible. You can heal. You’ve gotta want to do it. Initially after the first few months of psychosis the first thing I noticed was my memory was getting better, my thoughts were less foggy and I went back to school and went from getting a 1.2 (grade point average) to a 4.0,” Andrew said. “So in a way psychosis was a wake-up experience for me.”

Location: Citywide Project/Program Description: The project will provide funding to subrecipients who have identified households in need. The work includes minor rehabilitation and other activities classified as CEST. Tier 2 site specific reviews will be completed for those laws and authorities not addressed in the tier 1 broad review for each address under this program when addresses become known.

Level of Environmental Review Citation: 24 CFR 58.35(a)(3)(i) Tier 2 Site Specific Review: The site specific reviews will cover the following laws and authorities not addressed in the Tier 1 broad review: Flood Insurance – Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 Contamination and Toxic Substances – 24 CFR 58.5(i)(2) Floodplain Management – Executive Order 11988 Environmental Justice – Executive Order 12898 Mitigation Measures/Conditions/Permits (if any): Flood Insurance – If a selected site is in a Special Flood Hazard Area it will be required to obtain and retain Flood Insurance to address this factor.

Contamination and Toxic Substances – If the project is located within 1,000 feet of an EPA facility that is not in compliance with all regulations then that location will not be eligible for this program.

Floodplain Management – If a selected site is in a Special Flood Hazard Area a 5-Step Decision Making Process will need to be completed to ensure the proper use of resources.

Environmental Justice – If a project has a negative impact on the environment and disproportionately impacts low-income or minority households it will not be eligible for this program Estimated Project Cost: $1,000,000 (All CDBG Funds) The activity/activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements per 24 CFR 58.35(a)(3)(i). An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at Commerce City, Colorado, 7887 E. 60th Avenue Commerce City, Colorado 80022 and may be examined or copied weekdays 10A.M to 4P.M. or by contacting George Lewis at glewis@c3gov.com.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Commerce City Community Development Block Grant Coordinator, George Lewis, at 303-289-8168 or glewis@c3gov.com. All comments received by notice date plus seven days will be considered by the Commerce City prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION Commerce City certifies to HUD that Benjamin Huseman, Certifying Officer, in his capacity as Mayor 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 Commerce City to use HUD program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and Commerce City’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 the Commerce City; (b) Commerce City 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 Katy Burke at the Denver HUD Office at CPD_COVID-19OEE-DEN@hud.gov. Potential objectors should contact HUD by email to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
