Douglas County to add 2 more commissioners?

Going from 3 to 5

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As tensions continue to soar among the three Douglas County commissioners, discussions have begun on whether it’s time to add two more members to the board.

Commissioners received information about possibly expanding in an Aug. 15 meeting where staff gave a presentation about how the change could occur.

Commissioner Lora Thomas said she requested the information after several residents asked her about the possibility.

Town gives initial approval for Dawson Trails Development Costco to get $10M incentive

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock approved initial plans for the Dawson Trails development, which is outlined to bring more than 5,800 housing units and 3.2 million square feet of commercial space, including a Costco.

Council members approved the first reading for planning documents for Dawson Trails, a planned neighborhood on 2,000 acres of land east of Interstate-25 and south of Territorial Road, on a unanimous vote. Staff also walked the council through contributions from the

developer for the Crystal Valley Interchange and a proposed $10 million incentive for Costco.

Town Manager David Corliss broke down the $10 million incentive, telling the board the incentive was warranted because of Costco’s sales tax revenue, which is estimated around $4-6 million annually.

The incentive would be two parts with $3.5 million upfront from the Economic Development Fund and the remainder coming from remitting a third of the store’s sales tax revenue up to $6.5 million, which Corliss estimated would take two or three years.

Tax revenue from the bulk-buy store will be important to the town’s ability to continue adding police and fire staff, Corliss said.

“We need this because we need to

continue to fund the services that are provided through sales tax,” he said. “If we don’t have additional revenue with Costco, we’re going to have a significant challenge being able to fund additional police officers and firefighters.”

Under the development agreements, the developers, Westside Investment Partners Inc., would contribute $50 million to the Crystal Valley Interchange project, which aims to improve traffic near the Dawson Trails projects.

If council approves the development plan and incentive agreements, construction on the Crystal Valley Interchange would start next year and finish in 2025 with the opening of Costco likely that same SEE APPROVAL, P8

An investigation by the Douglas County government’s attorney found that Commissioner Lora Thomas released a confidential memo to the media and that she could have broken the law by doing so.

Thomas’ fellow commissioners directed their staff to look into the possible breach after Thomas appeared in a CBS Colorado story discussing the report. Images and full quotes from the report were included in the TV story.

While the state doesn’t have specific laws for the situation, County Attorney Lance Ingalls said there are seven criminal offenses that could apply, including official misconduct, embezzlement of public property and abuse of public records, according to a county memo.

After voting to make the memo by the county attorney public in an Aug. 15 meeting, commissioners Abe Laydon and George Teal voted not to take any immediate action against Thomas.

“While we could pursue further actions, I know the public is concerned with one thing from this board, which is upstream governance and serving the county to the best of our abilities,” Laydon said.

Castle Rock Fire and Rescue earns international reaccreditation status For the third time, the Castle Rock Fire and Rescue earned Accredited Agency status with the Commission on Fire Accreditation International. CRFD is one of only 301 agencies to achieve Internationally Accredited Agency status with the CFAI and the Center for Public Safety Excellence Inc. CRFD first earned its Accredited Agency status in 2012. Accreditation is a lengthy process that includes a detailed evaluation of current practices, and a commitment to continuous quality improvement.

CFAI is dedicated to assisting the fire and emergency service agencies throughout the world in achieving excellence through self-assessment and accreditation to provide continuous quality improvement and the enhancement of service delivery to their communities. The CFAI process is voluntary and provides an agency with an improvement model to assess their service delivery and performance internally and then works with a team of peers from other agencies to evaluate their completed self-assessment.

Accreditation is valid for five years. In May, a team of CFAI professionals visited the Town to evaluate all aspects of CRFD. The peer evaluation team is comprised of fire professionals with different

backgrounds, such as fire chiefs and fire marshals along with specialists with expert knowledge in wildland fire fighting, life safety and more. This method of evaluation ensures that CRFD was judged through the lens of a diverse set of viewpoints.

After the three-day evaluation, the peer team recommended reaccreditation.

“The outside departments that evaluate our processes help us see what we don’t see ourselves,” said Deputy Fire Chief Rich Martin.

“It’s all about continuous improvement and I’m proud that our hardworking team met the challenge to earn our reaccreditation.”

The department appeared before the Commission on Fire Accreditation International during their hearings in Denver this week, where accreditation was officially granted. Fire Chief Norris Croom, along with Mayor Jason Gray, Town Manager David Corliss and other Town leadership attended the commission hearing.

“CFAI reaccreditation represents our commitment to provide the highest quality service that our residents expect from us,” said Croom. “We will use the continuous quality improvement process to proactively plan for the future of CRFD and identify areas where we can further improve on the services we provide for our community.”

Statewide, scores still lag behind

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County School District’s state standardized testing scores consistently ranked higher than the state’s and neighboring districts’ results, as well as scores higher than pre-pandemic levels.

On Aug. 17, the Colorado Department of Education released the Colorado’s Measures of Academic Success or CMAS scores for the state and individual districts. Colorado’s state score for all grades on the English Language Arts, or ELA, portion had 43.2% of students meet or exceed expectations. In math, 31.5% of students met standards.

Both scores are below 2019 scores, but grade level break-downs show improvement over last year’s scores in most grades.

In Douglas County, scores were up across the board and surpassed 2019 scores in almost all areas, except math for grades 6, 7 and 8. The district’s score across all grades for English Language Arts is 59.7% of students met or exceeded expectations and math is 49%.

“We’re really really proud of our teachers, our kids and all of the hard work our families have done over the past two years to make sure our kids stayed on track,” Superintendent Erin Kane said. “Truly, our teachers just did an amazing job

through really hard times, so we’re incredibly proud of our staff and our students.”

Kane pointed to the ELA scores in all grades and overcoming the 2019 scores as some of the highlights of the results. The district has prioritized improving literacy over the past few years and the scores show that work is paying off, Kane said.

“I’m really excited to watch what happens to literacy in our district over the next year while we are implementing all the science based reading programs,” she said. “We’re really hoping we can continue to move our students and help them make a great deal of progress in the area of literacy.”

Kane also highlighted the third grade math scores for the district, where 59.6% of students met or exceeded expectations, which was the highest for any grade level in the district.

With the CMAS results released, the district will evaluate the scores for areas for improvement by school and grade. Kane noted the most important information they provide is on the student level.

“We use these results when we’re looking at individual kids to see what our individual kids need so that we can make sure we’re filling in gaps and helping them grow in the areas the need to grow,” she said. “That’s the work that happens in our schools every day.”

Energetic start for Lazy Dog Highlands Ranch eatery opens with team ready to perform

BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

It wasn’t easy. But Naomi Snoeck, general manager of the newest Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar location, thinks she’s prepared a team that’s ready to go above and beyond for customers in Denver’s south metro region.

The California-based chain opened its 44th restaurant, just south of C-470 and just west of Broadway, on Aug. 3.

The casual dining eatery prides itself on serving hearty American comfort food with innovative twists and mountain town hospitality. Its latest outpost occupies the spot once held

by C.B. & Potts in Highlands Ranch.

It’s the fourth Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar to come to Colorado.

Hiring began six weeks ago, Snoeck told Colorado Community Media.

Lazy Dog offered sign-on and referral bonuses in an effort to find good workers in a tough labor market. The referral bonuses encouraged employees to bring in the friends and family they’d want to work with, which Snoeck said helped her create a nice team.

“Don’t hire out of desperation,” she said she told herself during the process. “Hire the right fit for our

culture.”

Her squad in Highlands Ranch is now over 200 people strong. At team meetings before the opening, Snoeck used cornhole, ring toss and other carnival-style games — plus lots of food — to get the front and back of the house familiar with each other and pulling together.

“They want to do a great job, and they’re so excited,” Snoeck said of her employees. “That’s what’s gonna set us apart here.”

Nestled between Village Inn and Prost Brewing at 43 Centennial Blvd., the new restaurant can seat up to 366 people. Its 8,427 square feet of indoor dining space uses stone and wood timbers to create a contemporary rustic feel. Its covered patio, which spans the south side of the building,

features outdoor seating and two large fire pits.

All of Lazy Dog’s food and cocktails are made from scratch, Snoeck said.

The goat cheese and pepper jelly appetizer, served with garlic parmesan crisps that are made in-house daily, is her favorite way to start a meal.

Executive chef Hector Meneses Vera recommends the barbecue bison meatloaf if you’re after something hearty, the spaghetti squash and “beetballs” for a meat-free entree, or the kung pao rice bowl if you want something a little different. Braised for a minimum of four hours, Lazy Dog’s pot roast comes as a sandwich, an entree with mashed potatoes and gravy, or as a frozen TV dinner.

Lazy Dog’s retro-style TV dinners are available for guests to take home

after their meal or to pick up curbside like traditional takeout. The entrees, sides and desserts for the oven-ready meals are made right in the restaurant, packaged in threecompartment aluminum containers and frozen for short-term storage in customers’ freezers.

They come in handy on snowy nights, Vera said. The chef became familiar with the Centennial State’s winter weather when he started working for Lazy Dog two years ago.

“It’s a home-cooked meal, literally from scratch,” Snoeck said. “You just put it in the oven.”

Lazy Dog also offers a beer club.

Members get quarterly, take-home beer kits that feature craft beers from breweries around the country. In the restaurant, participants get priority seating when there’s a wait, size upgrades on their draft beer orders and monthly beer samplers.

As part of its soft opening, Lazy Dog hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Northwest Douglas County Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Corporation and a small media dinner on Aug. 2.

IF YOU GO Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar is at 43 Centennial Blvd. in Highlands Ranch.

It’s open from 11 a.m. until midnight on weekdays and from 9 a.m. until midnight on Saturdays and Sundays. Dogs are welcome on the patio.

Parker approves sale agreement on Mainstreet parcels Plan still awaits final approval

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Parker is one step closer to developing five parcels in its downtown after the town council approved a sale agreement of the land on Aug. 15.

The town council will still need to approve the development agreement for the land from the buyer, Confluence Companies, according to the plan.

The first reading of the sale agreement was approved in the consent agenda during the council meeting and therefore was not discussed. The final approval is scheduled for Sept. 6, when there will be a public hearing.

Within about three weeks after the sale agreement is approved in its second reading, Confluence will be required to provide the terms of the development agreement to the town. The agreement will then be negotiated between the two parties.

Confluence Companies, which developed parts of downtown Golden and Castle Rock, presented a plan of a variety of mixed-use developments including added restaurants, retail space, plazas and residential units for the downtown corridor in April.

The company’s proposal would

take up to 10 years and would be a commitment of about $300 million of development for the downtown area. The Urban Renewal Authority, or P3, entered into a 90-day exclusive negotiation agreement with Confluence Companies in January and decided to extend the agreement another 90 days in April.

During the April meeting, Confluence Companies said they would return with more firm plans and financial modeling in their next meeting with the town council.

The five parcels, including Pine Curve and the space in front of the PACE Center, will be sold for a total of $16 million, according to the agreement.

The town has held several executive sessions regarding the project in the past few months.

Council member Cheryl Poage voted against the approval of the consent agenda.

The parcels are: • The property adjacent to the schoolhouse, 0.34 acres • 19801 E. Mainstreet, a lot at the corner of Victorian Drive and East Mainstreet, 0.9 acres • The space in front of the PACE Center, 1.4 acres • East Main — the area west of Discovery Park and the library, 4.1 acres • Pine Curve — the large lot where Mainstreet dead ends into Pine Drive, 24 acres

Council approves plans for 9-story senior living facility Construction begins soon

Maggard said.

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Construction for a 206-unit senior living residential building that reaches up to nine stories is slated to begin in October in Lone Tree.

The development, called “The Reserve at Lone Tree,” will be located south of RidgeGate Parkway at the southeast intersection of South Havana Street and High Note Avenue, according to a City of Lone Tree staff report.

This project will be in the Lone Tree city center area of the RidgeGate East development, loacted on the east side of I-25 and RidgeGate Parkway. According to the sub-area plan, the city center is approximately 440 acres. The property for the senior living facility is about 4.5 acres, according to the staff report.

It will be located near the RTD RidgeGate Parkway Station and two apartment complexes currently under construction: Talus Affordable Housing and RidgeGate Station Apartments.

The developer of the project is Experience Senior Living, which builds and manages senior living communities and is a division of the national real estate investment and development company, NexCore Group.

“This is an exciting opportunity for us,” said Bill Maggard, a senior

Development plan for The Reserve at Lone Tree.

vice president at Experience Senior Living. He said the company started working on the plans over a year ago.

According to the staff report, the development will be one building that has three individual components varying in size.

The northern portion of the building will be nine stories high and contain independent senior living units. This portion, the tallest portion of the building, will be located at the intersection of South Havana Street and High Note Avenue, according to the city’s website.

The southern portion will be five stories high and contain a combination of assisted living units and memory care units. According to MemoryCare.com, memory care facilities are intended to provide long-term care for people with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of progressive-degenerative dementia.

Connecting the northern and southern portions will be a twostory high building that will contain administrative offices, food preparation areas and other operational uses, according to the staff report.

The development will also include a plaza, pickleball court, greenery, splash pad, outdoor eating spaces and recreational spaces.

“Our whole philosophy is that when folks, residents, come into our communities, they’re going to be building new connections, new social relationships,” Maggard said.

Maggard said the company did an internal data analysis to understand the demand for senior living and checked it with CB Richard Ellis, a commercial real estate services and investment firm. The analysis found the under-supply of independent senior living units exceeds 900 units in the community, and by 2026, the deficit will exceed 1,000 beds, he said.

“So, we’re scratching the surface,” Maggard said. “But for us to do all the things we need to do to provide the open space that we need, the plazas — all those things that support the vision of the sub-area plan — we need the nine-story variation.”

The property will have 156 parking spaces, with 102 spaces located in an underground parking garage, according to the staff report. Maggard said electric vehicles will have 10 charging stations in the parking garage.

According to the staff report, Experience Senior Living representatives said only some independent living residents will own cars, very few assisted living residents own cars and no memory care residents will own cars.

“One of our challenges in our industry, not just Experience Senior Living but — is staff retention. And so that proximity to light rail is going to be very important for us, and families are going to use it, too,”

Council members concerned with building height During its Aug. 2 meeting, a few members of Lone Tree City Council expressed concerns over the ninestory portion of the building, but ultimately they did not feel the concerns were reason enough to deny the application.

“There is a part of me that’s concerned that this is going to look like a thumb sticking up in the middle of an area,” Mayor Jackie Millet said.

“But I can’t disagree that it does conform to what the vision is for our community. The need is absolutely there for the housing.”

According to the report, staff found the development application was in “general conformance” with the city’s regulations, standards and guidelines, meaning the development plans were compliant with a majority of them.

However, the nine-story height did exceed the recommendation of the zoning district, which is a “mixed use commuter station district” or “MU-3.” Chuck Darnell, the city’s senior planner, said the city center sub-area plan provides a suggested building height of three to five stories in this type of district.

“It should be noted that the overall RidgeGate PD [Planned Development] does allow a taller maximum building height of up to 360 feet.

And there are some other districts in the city center that allow taller building heights, up to 10 stories,” Darnell said. “The nine-story portion of the building is proposed to be about 106 feet in height.”

Darnell said the nine-story portion will make up about 43% of the building footprint.

He noted that due to the change in the slope, also called a grade, of the property, “there will be some other developed areas, both to the south in the Southwest Village and to the west across I-25 in some existing developed areas, that are at a higher grade than the tallest portion [of] this building would be.”

The Southwest Village is one of the residential developments occurring in RidgeGate East, which will include more than 1,800 homes, according to the city’s website.

“There was one dissenting vote from the Planning Commission related to the building height, but the remainder of the Planning Commission did recommend approval,” Darnell said.

Darryl Jones — the senior vice president of Coventry Development Corporation, which is the master community developer for the RidgeGate mixed use community — said Coventry is supportive of the project.

“Our effort has been to try and encourage development that really moves more multistoried projects closer to the light rail station,” Jones said, adding that he thinks it’s a more efficient use of land. “It will really provide a very attractive building at that corner and help anchor that corner.”

One of the concerns Millet expressed was how the building may SEE LIVNG, P7

section of the memo that Thomas had released the report and discussed the contents in a televised interview, “despite knowing the (board of county commissioners) intent to maintain the confidential and privileged nature of the report.”

Thomas didn’t respond to questions about the release of the report, according to the memo. She has asserted multiple times in meetings and in her newsletter to constituents that she believes the privileged nature of the document had already been broken by Laydon discussing parts of it publicly.

The report in question, a 12-page document, shows the full results of a $17,000 investigation into Thomas by outside legal counsel. Teal and Laydon initiated the probe after accusing Thomas of circulating an anonymous letter that criticized specific employees in the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, creating a hostile work environment.

They also accused her of emailing county legal representation with a request not authorized by the full board.

The investigation found that while Thomas had distributed the sheriff letter, doing so did not create a hostile work environment. It also found she did direct legal representation to provide her with information the board had determined to keep secret.

Teal and Laydon initially voted to keep the investigative report confidential, but after it was shared with the Denver TV station, decided to release it.

cast shadows and cause potential issues with road maintenance, snow removal and the freeze-thaw cycle. She also said she worried about the visual aesthetic of the building height.

“The shadows do concern me, and what’s going to happen on the adjacent parcel concerns me. I’m not going to penalize you for those concerns, but as I look to the next project across the street, I’m going to wonder how that is going to fit in with the context of this nine-story building,” Millet said. “To see something on a much lower level is going to be concerning to me.”

Councilmember Marissa Harmon said she worries about the property sticking out like a thumb and the potential impact of shadows, especially on the roads. However, she also said she thinks the city’s guidelines have been met.

“I don’t think it would be enough to say no,” Harmon said about the height concerns.

Councilmember Cathie Frazzini said the property is a “glorious looking building” that she would be proud to have in Lone Tree.

“I’m weighing how important this kind of housing is in our region, and that as we move to density, higher density, in this location, we’re all going to struggle a little to get our head around how

Charge details Ingalls explained each possible criminal offense in the memo. The possible charges are: first degree official misconduct; second degree official misconduct; embezzlement of public property; abuse of public records; theft of trade secrets; second degree criminal tampering; and commercial bribery and breach of duty to act disinterestedly.

Embezzlement of public property and commercial bribery are both felonies.

Ingalls included in each summary the likelihood in which each charge could be argued. Several included caveats, suggesting some charges didn’t have strong evidence or would only apply depending on how a court defined certain terms.

The possible embezzlement charge and the two possible charges of misconduct didn’t include any caveats.

Ingalls said the board could take other actions against Thomas, including censure, removal from appointments and exclusion from confidential meetings.

In the Aug. 15 meeting where the memo was discussed, Teal made a motion to go into executive session without Thomas. Laydon spoke against the idea, saying he felt it was important for all of them to hear the information.

Teal also made a motion to dock Thomas’ pay by $17,000 — the cost of the investigative report. Again Laydon disagreed and said he believes the board should instead review their internal policies.

“Our public wearies of this board having dysfunction,” Laydon said.

“Although I don’t disagree with Commissioner Teal’s perspective, I think we need to pause on all that today for the benefit of our public.” it’s going to look,” Frazzini said.

“I’m in favor of the project and in favor of the work that you’ve done to make it really spectacular for us.”

Multiple council members also said they liked that the property incorporated some open recreational space to help transition into the Happy Canyon Creek corridor and future regional park that is located to the east of the development.

Councilmember Mike Anderson said he was initially concerned about the height, but after hearing from the developers and seeing the plans, in combination with the need for senior living facilities and how the property opens up to the open space, he supported the development.

“This building is beautiful, and this density, I’m actually fine with. It’s what’s around it, is my concern,” Millet said, noting the city should reassess the three to five-story building height recommendation.

“Perhaps, as long as we can deal with the parking, this area can support more density. It is something that should be happening near our light rail stations, and it does make sense,” Millet said.

Council unanimously voted to approve the development, which has an anticipated opening date of November 2024. To learn more about the development, visit: cityoflonetree.com/projects/thereserve-at-lone-tree/.

to do so at least twice.

The Douglas County commissioners didn’t direct staff to continue pursuing the action during the Aug. 15 meeting.

Five in Adams Adams County was the most recent to expand its board, with voters approving the change in 2012.

Two additional members officially joined the board in 2015.

Erik Hansen, who was elected in 2010, said he campaigned with the promise of adding more commissioners after a scandal in which seven people, including Adams County staff members, were charged and a commissioner was investigated.

“Communities do this usually because they have a reason, something is happening that’s dysfunctional on the board or something in the community is driving it,” he said. “Commissioners aren’t going to normally vote to dilute their own power.”

Those in support of the change felt it would create a healthier, more representative county government structure for the growing community, Hansen said. Those against it worried it would be too costly.

The Adams County commissioner expansion was approved with 57% of the vote. Hansen went on to serve with the five-person board until 2019.

“I think there was probably more thoughtful debate with five than there would have been with three,” he said. “You have more different ways to look at things. I think all of that adds more to discussion” Hansen said he advocated for the expansion of the board because he believes it helps the board function better.

“When you have three all you need is a friend,” he said. “But with five, you need a majority.”

Hansen added that more commissioners means greater representation in a large community.

“Counties get bigger and they obviously have more diversity and you want to have that diversity represented on the board of county commissioners,” he said.

County, GOP respond Thomas, at the losing end of many 2-1 votes, said she’s warmed to the idea after hearing more questions from constituents about the possibility of adding commissioners.

“I’ve always been opposed to it because it would grow government,” she said. “But I don’t know how to break this logjam with George and Abe.” Stu Parker, the chairman of the Douglas County Republican Party, said the party hasn’t yet taken a stance on the issue.

“I’m not against adding two commissioners but there’s not enough information yet,” he said. “Yes it could be good or it could be bad.”

Parker added that while it would allow commissioners to have some back-up for their various committees, the cost could impact the counties’ other functions. Currently, Parker said he doesn’t believe the dynamic among the commissioners has impacted the county’s governance.

“You’d like to see people getting

along, but is it affecting how the county is run?” he said. “I haven’t seen full evidence of that.”

Parker Mayor Jeff Toborg, also a Republican, said he’s often wondered why Douglas County, which has about 360,000 residents, only has three county commissioners.

“Douglas County is geographically large enough that I would think having five would be better,” Toborg said.

Laydon doesn’t see any benefit to adding more commissioners, he said.

“If you think about increasing government, growing government and the number of politicians at the helm, it ultimately just leads to a slowdown,” he said. “It’s more deliberations, it’s more debate, it’s more back and forth.”

He added that in his view, regardless of the number of commissioners, all it takes is one member to make it divisive.

Teal said he doesn’t think adding commissioners is a good idea but if it were to happen, he believes it should be done through the home-rule method.

“Every municipality here in Douglas County has seven member councils and every single one of them in recent memory has had some degree of factionalism,” Teal said. “The idea that … you’re going to eliminate factionalism by going to five people is naive in my mind.”

Commissioners’ fracture The relationship among Douglas County’s commissioners began to fray in April 2021 when Teal and Laydon voted to remove Thomas from her position as chair following a national media request gone awry. The two accused Thomas of using her role as chair of the board to lie to residents and “attempt to influence the board” after she was she wasn’t selected to speak with the media outlet.

Instead of permanently removing her, it was decided they would rotate the chair position between Thomas and Laydon. Afterwards, the commissioners brought in a moderator to attempt to repair their relationship.

But in April, Laydon and Teal again voted to remove Thomas from her position and began an internal investigation.They accused her of circulating an anonymous letter that criticized specific employees in the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and emailing county legal representation with a request not authorized by the full board.

The investigation found that while Thomas had circulated the sheriff letter, doing so did not create a hostile work environment.

It also found she did direct legal representation to provide her with information the board had determined to keep secret.

Teal and Laydon initially voted to keep the investigative report confidential, but it was then shared with a Denver TV station.

After being directed by Teal and Laydon to look into it, their staff found that Thomas had released the report.

While they were presented with several legal actions they could take against Thomas, they decided not to take any for the moment.

Rise in business closures

Year-over-year dip in new filings seen in second quarter

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

The Colorado Secretary of State’s office last week shared the latest quarterly update on how small businesses in the state are doing.

It’s mixed, Secretary of State Jena Griswold said. Job growth remains strong, but the number of businesses that are delinquent in filing regular reports or repaying a debt rose.

“And while many new entities are filing with our office, the report also notes an uptick in delinquencies and dissolutions as well as signs of pessimism from the business community due to inflation, supplychain disruption, worker shortages and interest rates among other factors that continued to place pressure on small business owners,” Griswold said during a news conference.

According to data provided by the Leeds School of Business at University of Colorado, the number of new business filings was slightly negative from a year ago, at -0.2% in the second quarter, which was the first annual decline since the start of the pandemic.

And the number of companies showing signs of failure grew at double-digit rates — delinquent filings were up 9.8% while companies that dissolved their business grew 27%.

Brian Lewandowski, executive director of Leeds’ Business Research Division, speculated that more businesses would have dissolved earlier if it hadn’t been for federal stimulus packages that provided financial aid to small businesses, like the popular Paycheck Protection Programs.

“Perhaps the rise in dissolutions and delinquencies are a sign of some of that strain on businesses

now that the stimulus has gone away,” he said. “With a slowing national economy, can we expect to see the rise in business failures over the coming quarters?”

His colleague Richard Wobbekind thinks so. Even though bankruptcy filings fell in the pandemic, recent data lags.

“I think there’s a fair amount of concern that we’re going to see bankruptcy and those kinds of things uptick over the next two quarters,” Wobbekind said. “Some of the funding that was out there has run out. We’re hearing this from the banking community and elsewhere.”

The nation’s gross domestic product slowed in the first half of the year, which can indicate an economy in recession. Nevertheless, strong job numbers and a growth in the number of businesses in good standing are evidence that Colorado’s economy is holding steady.

“Our view is that this is not, we’re not in a recession,” Wobbekind said.

“Despite the slowdown in the first half, expectations are that the 2022 overall GDP will be positive. Right now, the forward-looking forecast for the third quarter is running at about one-and-half percent for GDP growth. But this is still obviously a much more moderate growth economy than we had in 2021.”

Speaking of business filings, Colorado’s Business Fee Relief Act went into effect July 1. That dropped the cost of registering a new business from $50 to $1. In the first month, the state attracted 13,000 new business registrations and 4,200 trade names, which the Secretary of State’s office estimated a $750,000 savings for small business owners.

Arapahoe Community College sees increased enrollment Averaging better than other schools

metro region last year, when most urban community colleges saw a dip in 2021 enrollment rates compared to 2020, with some as large as 14%.

“We’re really proud that ACC continues to be responsive and serve the community, and I think our enrollment numbers show that,” Edwards said. “We’re both relieved and proud.”

Joe Garcia, chancellor for the Colorado Community College System — which encompasses 13 colleges with 35 locations across the state — said he remains “guardedly optimistic” that overall enrollment rates will improve from last year.

“When you look at it nationally, we

Monica Fuglei is as busy as she’s ever been.

An instructor at Arapahoe Community College who also chairs the school’s English department, Fuglei is currently “building classes like mad” as she gears up for the fall semester, set to begin Aug. 22.

“We’re finding we’re having to be a little more fluid and agile in terms of enrollment,” Fuglei said.

“It brings new pressures, but they’re good pressures.”

Increasing enrollment numbers at ACC are heralding the excitement felt by Fuglei, with data showing a roughly 5% increase in enrolled students in early August compared to the same time in 2021, a difference of about 250 students.

Numbers are still coming in almost every day and the percent increase is constantly changing, according to Lisa Matye Edwards — vice president of student affairs — who anticipates the final total will exceed the college’s 2021 enrollment.

In 2021, ACC saw enrollment of 7,038 students, up from 6,594 in 2020 —a 6.7% increase — according to data from the Community College System.

The college was an outlier in the

lost almost 1 million community college students nationwide (in 2021),” Garcia said.

Amid inflation, when “people are facing rising rents, gas prices and grocery prices, people need to work,” Garcia said, leaves education to be seen as an unaffordable luxury for some.

“What we have to do is convince them that they can still take classes while working and while taking those classes they can better prepare themselves for the future,” Garcia said.

With ACC appearing to be on pace for even higher enrollment this year, Edwards said the numbers are a testament to the college’s ability to weather the pandemic — which has widely been labeled a culprit for most schools’ enrollment drops — as well as meeting students’ needs at a precarious economic moment.

While the demand for in-person learning has increased as students head towards the fall semester, online classes and services still remain popular, Edwards said. There has been a 5% increase in students signed up for online courses this semester compared to last fall.

ACC President Stephanie Fujii said the pandemic showed the college it could offer options for students in ways it hadn’t tried before.

About 80% of ACC students at-

tend classes part-time, with many working or raising families meaning online learning, as well as other resources such as advising, can be a key factor in allowing them to continue school.

“Students actually like virtual services,” Fujii said.

But ACC’s reputation as an “earn and learn” environment, as Edwards called it, still grants students a unique and often advantageous in-person experience.

By offering programs that allow students to be hands-on in their field, such as working in a dealership through the college’s automotive program, students can fast-track their way into the workforce at a time when employers are desperate for talent and jobs are abundant.

“In Colorado, there have been identified parts of the workforce where we need to grow our talent, such as healthcare, cybersecurity,” Edwards said. “I’m excited about the upcoming year, I’m excited in the direction we’re going.”

Such programs are able to “deliver real work opportunities that lead to a living wage,” said Garcia, who hopes it will be a major seller to those looking to take advantage of increased wages amid a volatile economic landscape.

Still, challenges remain outside of just bringing in enough students, Garcia said, as the college system sees an exodus of staff and faculty looking for better pay.

“Some of our college’s lost more than 20% of their workforce in one year,” Garcia said, stressing a need for increased salaries and benefits for public education workers.

But even as obstacles lie ahead, the energy seems palpable for ACC as it approaches a new school year.

Buoyed by promising enrollment and a continued return to normalcy as schools emerge from the disruption of COVID-19, Fuglei, the English instructor, said she is looking forward to “bustling hallways” and full classrooms.

“I remember a time on campus when it was hard to find a parking spot, and I hope we get back to that soon,” Fuglei said.

STEM student is finalist for award Gitanjali Rao, 16, aims to use science for kindness

BY MADDIE BROWNING SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Gitanjali Rao, a 16-year-old STEM School Highlands Ranch student, has given four TED Talks about innovation and Tethys, her detection device for determining the presence of lead in drinking water.

Rao is among the top 50 finalists for the Chegg.org Global Student Prize 2022. The prize awards $100,000 to the student making the greatest positive impact on their peers and society.

Rao’s interest in STEM began at the age of 4 when her uncle gifted her a science kit. She has always been interested in innovation and “using science for kindness.”

Her most notable accomplishments include earning a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30—a list created by Forbes magazine recognizing 30 game changers under the age of 30 in 20 different industries — in 2019 for creating a lead detection device called Tethys to recognize lead in drinking water. She also created a tool for early diagnosis of prescription opioid addiction and launched an anti-bullying app in partnership with UNICEF. Rao’s research aims to help the people she cares about and beyond to make the world a better place.

“So for me, personally, I heard about the water crisis in Flint, Michigan and then one of my friends got into a car accident and ended up getting addicted to opioids,” said Rao. “Beyond that, cyberbullying is something I went through, and a lot of my other friends went through as well, and so it’s always these things that are either personal experiences or ones that I form connections with.”

Rao also published a book in March 2021 called “A Young Innovator’s Guide to STEM.” It details

Gitanjali Rao

the steps from identifying problems to developing solutions in a more modern way. Some problems occurring now never existed before, so Rao argues for a new approach to innovation.

“It’s really a methodological way of how to go about the innovation process and really [move away from] what we think is normal and break it down into five steps for anyone to take their idea from a problem to a solution because it’s really easy to get lost somewhere in the process,” said Rao. Recently, she worked on lung tumor research and easier drug delivery methods. Rao said her current research focuses on the optimization of gene sequencing technology. She wants to figure out how to create vaccines for diseases like COVID-19 with faster turnaround.

She is currently completing a summer program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

(MIT) to further her research and interact with other like-minded students.

“She’s hard to quantify because she’s so unique in her worldview,” said Dr. Penny Euker, the former executive director of STEM School Highlands Ranch.

“I think what sets her apart is

she’s always scanning her environment and people around the world on what she could create, on what she could invent to improve lives.” Euker said Rao has a “restless mind” and she admires her optimism and resilience in tackling global issues.

Rao said her support system has been a crucial part of her ability to turn her ideas into reality.

“My best friends back home, since day one, have been everything and more to me to kind of lift me up, but also humble me when needed,” said Rao. Her family also supports her in any way they can.

However, the scientific community isn’t always as welcoming and supportive.

“Many times, I feel I’m the only girl in the room, more importantly, the only girl of color in the room, and the biggest thing I’ve had to remember is you can’t change what other people say about you, but you can change what you say about yourself,” said Rao. “At the end of the day, by being the only girl in the lab, I’m setting that up for anybody else who comes along after me because one day there’s no longer going to be a stereotype of women in STEM. It’s just going to be people in STEM.” The top 10 finalists for the Global Student Prize will be announced in late August.

VOICES

The evidence mounts

L

ast week the Colorado Department of Education released 2022 results for the state’s standardized tests that were administered in the spring.

While the state touted increases in both English and math for 2022, they have to admit the damage is still not repaired. That damage being canceling school amid the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

FROM THE I am never going to come around to how politicized COVID became and how much EDITOR we as a society lost because of it. One of the main areas for me that will also have a twinge of resentment and anger is forcing our children to stay home for 18 months.

The test scores are just another layer of evidence in a growing list of proof that extensive damage was done to our schoolage and college-age kids.

The test scores may be somewhat better Thelma Grimes — but they still are not back to 2019 levels.

According to a Colorado Sun story regarding the standardized test, during a virtual press conference state officials prefaced the release of the latest results with a reminder that, although many Colorado students resumed a greater sense of normalcy throughout the school year, others still experienced interruptions and setbacks.

Think about that — We are more than two years past the March 2020 doomsday for schools, yet we are still dealing with it. Some schools are not back to full capacity. Some schools still struggle with student enrollment.

We cannot gain what we lost in academics when we do not even have the teachers and assistants we need to get through a normal week. Students falling behind in reading are likely not getting the extra assistance because teachers are stretched thin and support staff is not automatic at a lot of our schools.

Multiple school districts have started the new school year with teacher and staff shortages across all spectrums.

Bringing academic levels up is not likely if we do not have the staff to do it.

Teachers have stressed that kids, following the at-home school experiment that failed horribly, have not returned to normal in many ways. Not wearing a mask and going to school every day is not the normal I refer to.

I refer to normal in terms of behavior, learning capabilities and focus. Teachers across the metro area have continually said that after the school shutdowns our children came back with more behavioral issues, fell behind in academics and are struggling with anger and outbursts.

This is further evidence that you cannot remove children abruptly from structured lives. You cannot halt learning and convince yourselves that online learning is the same.

Parents did the best with the hands they were dealt during that time. I, for one, spent 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day serving as a schoolteacher to a teenager and two elementary school kids. I did not want them to fall behind academically. I was blessed with the ability to commit to that daily routine.

However, my now 8-year-old would say regularly that while “Mom Academy” had some good points — he missed his friends, he missed social interaction and he missed his teachers.

Academically and mentally — It is going to take a long time to overcome the damage to our children. For some, there may never be a true return to “normal.”

Lion tamers and dragon slayers

W

hen we think about lions, we might think about a fierce beast, the king of the jungle, roaming the Sahara in their majestic form. Or maybe the only time we have seen a lion is at the zoo or in a movie. Either way, there is no mistaking their roar and their incredible strength.

What about the lion tamers, what comes to mind when we think of them? Someone controlling the lion with a whip and a stool.

Again, maybe we have seen live shows where the lion tamer commands the great beasts and controls them as we watch from the arena or from our TV. In a sense we are all lion tamers as we try and control our own metaphorical lions.

What are those lions in our life that may need controlling, and if not controlled can lead us down dark and desperate roads, or certainly lead us astray from our journey toward success? The lions are those things we can control, whether it’s controlling ourselves and how we react or respond to things and the habits we have. If the habits are bad, we still have the power to control them.

If they are good habits, we may still have room to improve or simply not backslide.

When thinking about taming our lions, it comes down to our willingness and decision to make the necessary changes and then take the required action steps to keep those lions tamed. A lion is a very beautiful yet dangerous beast. The lion can either dominate us with fear, or we can learn how to keep those lions in our life in check.

Here are some, and you probably have a few of your own. Anger, impatience, bad

habits, instant gratification, urge to always be right, talking more than listening, being a know-it-all, not prioritizing faith, family, and friends, indulgences, obsessions, not saying “no” enough, lack of forgiveness. And any one of these lions when not tamed or controlled can absolutely wreak havoc in our life and Michael Norton destroy relationships. At times we all must accept our role as a lion tamer.

The dragon is a fire-breathing, flying beast that is terrifying. The dragon looks to kill and destroy. The dragon is recognized as evil. Although there have been some lighthearted movies about dragons, in this illustration let’s stick with the evil ones, because they are the ones that do the most damage.

That leads us to the dragon slayer. We see the dragon slayer as brave, shield and sword in hand, and most times in a shining suit of armor riding on a big and beautiful horse as they courageously seek the battle with the dragon. Their mission is not to control or tame, their mission is to slay the dragon.

We become dragon slayers when we identify those things and people in our life that we just need to remove. The metaphorical dragons in our life are many times either found within our hearts or in between our ears. Or they are found in such a bad habit, a habit that cannot be tamed or moderated,

Session coming on Medicare open enrollment period

T

he time is fast approaching when you can determine if the Medicare plan you are on this year is the best choice for you next year. Medicare plans can change benefits, their lists of covered drugs and, in the case of managed care plans, their provider networks. Medicare’s annual open enrollment period is designed to provide an opportunity for you to learn about these changes.

Medicare’s 2022 open enrollment period begins Oct. 15 and ends Dec. 7. However, well before then, you’ll be receiving mail from your current plan with its upcoming changes, advertisements from other companies sharing their benefits and cost information for your consideration, a 2023 Medicare & You handbook from the federal government and probably advertisements for Medicare seminars in your area sponsored by insurance company representatives. Try not to be overwhelmed!

Coming to the rescue is the Colorado State Health Insurance Assistance Program, also referred to as SHIP. It is funded by Medicare

to provide accurate and unbiased plan information through public presentations and a team of trained volunteers. There is no charge for this individualized help and you can reach the Colorado SHIP office by callGretchen Lopez ing 303-480-6835.

Additionally, 1-800-MEDICARE, a 24/7 hotline, is available to help you compare plans in your area, as well as an online tool called Medicare Compare at www.medicare.gov.

All these tools are available to help you evaluate your options and choose the best plan for you in 2023 — that may be your current plan or a different plan. The choice is always up to you.

Let’s begin with a few first steps to take: • Update your prescription list including name of medication, dosage and frequency. Talk to your doctor about your medication choices. Do you need a brand

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Editorial got it right Thelma Grimes’ Aug. 11 editorial, “Cough it Up,” was a breath of fresh air. Between the legally suspicious antics of the new school board, the silly battles between the commissioners, not to mention the lack of empathy and care for fellow citizens by refusing to mask, while ridding us of our much-needed health department, it has been incredibly embarrassing to live in Douglas County.

and growing issue of governance.

The governance structure of having three county commissioners in a county of around 345,000 citizens with a mega “non-city” Highlands Ranch (pop. 107,000) invites dysfunction at the least and far worse problems of ineffective governance. Citizens of the municipalities in Douglas County have a far closer and more responsive relationship with their government officials, with each having a council of seven members. Yes, even Larkspur has more than three council members!

A much overdue but partial solution is to increase the size of the BOCC from three to five and require that commissioners be elected in-district rather than at large. Our neighboring counties, Arapahoe and El Paso, made this change years ago, following the procedure set out by the state.

opping up alongside the wildflowers, near creek beds and scattered through meadows in Colorado’s forests are a rainbow variety of fungi, which an increasing number of foragers are taking advantage of.

Whether foragers are gathering some of Colorado’s prize edible species or just exploring to identify and learn, the Colorado Mycological Society has seen a hike in the number of people signing up for guided forays and club meetings.

“Most of the addition (of new club members) came in the last few years,” said former CMS president Ed Lubow. “The majority are there because they want to find something they can take home and eat.”

Current CMS membership is over 1,000 people, Lubow said, adding that a huge draw has been

the ability to gather mushrooms in the wild that would be expensive to purchase from a grocery store, such as porcini, chanterelles, morels and matsutake.

For anyone just starting out, Lubow highly recommends going on a mycological society-led foray to learn the basics of hunting and identification, which is key for gathering to eat. He also recommends beginner foragers invest in a regional book on mushroom and fungi species.

“There are a number of local mycological societies,” he said. “Go join one, because you’ll be around people with the same interest and with more experience, so you’ll learn relatively quickly. The No. 1 rule for eating is if in doubt, throw it out.”

Beyond the culinary foragers, Lubow said he’s also seen more interest from hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who like finding more ways to connect with nature and learning about their surrounding environment.

Fungi are an integral part of forest health, breaking down nutrients into the soil for plants and trees to use.

“What you discover fairly quickly is that if you go out there thinking you’re going to find morels, except for a rare lucky day, you’re not going to succeed, so you start realizing that you’re passing lots of mushrooms,” Lubow said. “For me, it turned into, even the ones I can’t eat are kind of interesting.”

Luckily for foragers, there’s no shortage of wild mushrooms in Colorado. From the southern San Juans to the Flat Tops in Steamboat Springs, there’s bound to be a bounty.

However, public lands have different requirements for foragers for mushrooms. National and state parks do not allow foraging, while national forests typically require a permit. Depending on

the ranger district, some permits are free and others can cost around $20 per year.

Even urban parks in the Front Range are home to fungi finds, though it’s less likely to find anything worth eating.

Some mushrooms in urban areas can be interesting because they’re not local, but accidentally brought in, Lubow said.

Lubow cautioned that it’s always on the foragers to know what lands they are on and the rules of the land.

Prime mushroom season in Colorado runs from mid-July to late September, though certain species thrive outside of those months as well. Altitude also plays a role in determining what species foragers are likely to find.

“For Colorado, the key thing is moisture,” Lubow said of ideal mushroom conditions.

Gear for gathering mushrooms includes a knife for cutting stalks out of the ground or off trees, a brush for cleaning dirt off and a structured container, such as a basket, cardboard box or mesh bag. Plastic is not recommended because it can speed up spoilage.

Once on the trail, focus on the forest floor and tree trunks and it likely won’t be long before you notice mushrooms under brush, at the base of Aspens or on a fallen log. If foraging in a more urban or popular area, be sure to avoid gathering where there’s dog poop or pesticides or herbicides used.

Beware that some of the prettiest-looking mushrooms, like the red and white-spotted amanita muscaria, can be toxic if ingested.

There are a number of important parts of the mushroom to look at in order to identify it, according to Vera Stuckey Evenson’s “Mushrooms of the Rocky Mountain Region.” First, observe the environment, since some species are associated with certain trees and whether it’s growing in the ground or on bark will help define it.

On the actual mushroom itself, look at the cap for colors and textures; examine underneath the cap to see whether it has gills, teeth or pores; check the stem for coloring or patterns; and smell it for any distinctive odors. Also be sure to get the base of the mushroom from the ground, which can also be a helpful feature.

For species that look alike, sometimes a spore print, where the cap of the mushroom is removed and placed on paper to capture falling spores, or chemical tinctures, which react with certain species, are needed for a SEE FUNGI, P17

Foragers lay out their bounty on a picnic table for identification of the dozens of species found in Clear Creek County’s Mount Evans area.

One of Colorado’s prize edible species of wild mushroom is the chanterelle. One of its more distinctive characteristics is its apricot odor.

Some mushrooms are hard to identify based on physical appearance alone because of A common species found in Colorado forests is the Aspen bolete, which some people various doppelganger species. Lubow tells foragers that if they can’t positively identify eat and others avoid due to gastrointestinal concerns. the mushroom, they definitely shouldn’t risk eating it.

positive identification.

Unlike picking flowers, gathering mushrooms doesn’t hurt the fungi since mushrooms are the fruits of the larger mycelium, or root structure. Picking can also

help spread spores for the mushrooms.

Even so, foragers are often encouraged to only gather what they plan to use and Colorado national forests require a specific permit for commercial collecting. Lubow also likes to set a high standard for picking mushrooms he plans to eat.

Conditions like browning or

softening, as well as bug tunnels, are signs that a shroom is past its prime.

“If you wouldn’t buy a fruit in the same condition at your grocery store, don’t eat it,” Lubow said.

For those lucky enough to gather choice edibles, Lubow again recommends turning to local mycological societies for recipes and cooking tips.

Getting in an Allegro mood in Parker

here’s no such thing as a typical community hub — each hub is as unique as the community it represents. So, it’s not surprising that one of Parker’s favorite spots is Allegro Music, its only full-service music store.

“Allegro has been around for 24 years and I purchased it five years ago because I knew we needed to keep a music store here,” said owner Rick Henson. “We’re not just a place parents come for recorders — we are a place for people to ask questions, we support our local schools and we provide a sense of community that none of the big stores or websites can offer.”

Allegro recently moved to a new location at 11475 Twenty Mile Road, Suite A, which allows the business to provide a much-expanded range of services to customers, further cementing it as the city’s musical place to be. In addition to selling all manner of instruments, the business also sells all the necessary accessories and also provides rentals for those who only need an instrument for a finite period of time.

According to provided information, about 200 residents take lessons at Allegro and instructors (including Henson, who has taught private drum lessons for more than a decade) now have more space to do that, with nine studios for private lessons and a large room for en-

semble and group learning.

“Everything got bigger and better as a result of this move —we have more products and it’s so much easier to shop because of the space,” Henson said. “We also have a waiting room for Clarke Reader parents, so they don’t have to sit in their car waiting while their student is learning. It’s just a more enjoyable experience for everyone.”

The new location is also allowing Allegro to try out new projects like an upcoming foray into preschool classes with a nationally recognized program that is specifically designed to be fun and engaging and provide children with the opportunity to try a variety of instruments.

All of these efforts are in support of building more than a business — the aim is to create a place where people want to spend their time while sharing a love of music. And it seems like it’s working.

“The other day two dads whose kids were having lessons might have formed a band themselves,” Henson said. “They’re both novice players and they wanted to play together.

That kind of thing doesn’t happen without a physical store.”

A pleasing work was a Beatles medley: “Hey Jude,” “Yesterday” and “Eleanor Rigby.” And dance rhythms drive Abreau’s “Tico Tico”, Piazolla’s “Libertango, Oblivion,” Michael Kibbs’ “Mello Cellos Tango.” Hard to sit still, as it was with Delibes’ “Pizzicato Polka.”

Dreamier and very familiar works wound up the program: French singer Edith Piaf’s “La Vie en Rose” and the lovely “Over the Rainbow” by Arlen, which brought up images of a young Judy Garland for this ancient writer!

State moves toward importing drugs from Canada Colorado a step closer after signing contracts

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado has taken another step toward importing lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada, after signing contracts with companies on both sides of the border that will handle the transaction.

The state hopes that bringing in regular, everyday prescription drugs from Canada, where they are sold at a lower price than in the United States, will help lower drug costs for people here. On Aug. 18, the state announced that it has signed deals with three companies: AdiraMedica, a wholesaler with a subsidiary in Canada that will act as the exporter; Premier Pharmaceuticals, an Idahobased wholesaler that will act as the importer and distributor; and Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Safety, which will run a program to collect reports on the drugs’ safety.

“We have hit a major milestone on importation, and that is, if you will, setting up the pathway and the partner contracts in order to enable the importation.” said Kim Bimestefer, the executive director of the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, which is overseeing the importation program.

How it will work Bimestefer’s department administers Medicaid in Colorado. But the drug-importation program is not aimed at reducing the state government’s prescription drug spending — which is around $1 billion a year, Bimestefer said.

The explanation for that is contained in a report released by the department last year that found, due to rebates and federal regulations, the prices Medicaid pays for drugs are already comparable to the prices of drugs in Canada. Bimestefer said Medicaid’s drug spending has been flat in recent years, while it has continued to climb for people on private insurance.

As a result, the state has set up the importation program with the goal of helping those privately insured folks, with the imported drugs ulti-

significance in an election year as Polis touts his efforts to save people money.

In a statement, Polis called the Aug. 18 announcement of the program’s contractors “a major piece in place to make drugs more affordable.”

“I am proud to see the progress of the program and the steps forward in making lower health care costs a reality across Colorado and look forward to delivering real results and savings,” Polis said.

In her own statement, Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera, a four-time cancer survivor, referenced her personal experiences trying to pay for life-saving medications and said the administration is “committed to creating new innovative ways to ensure all Coloradans have access to high quality and affordable health care.”

mately ending up in local pharmacies.

Lauren Reveley, who is leading HCPF’s drug importation program, said AdiraMedica will work with the state to negotiate to purchase drugs from manufacturers in Canada. AdiraMedica will then buy the drugs and sell them to Premier Pharmaceuticals. Premier will contract with a laboratory to test the drugs and make sure they are what they claim to be, then will repackage and relabel the drugs and distribute them to participating Colorado pharmacies, which will sell them to consumers.

Meanwhile, Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Safety will set up a program to monitor for adverse events and other safety concerns, so the state can spot problems in the supply chain.

Reveley said the system is designed to be market-driven, meaning the state will facilitate it but not need to finance it with taxpayer dollars. So far, Colorado has spent about $1.5 million to get the program up and running, Reveley said.

Seeking federal approval Colorado has not yet identified which drugs it will seek to import.

Some — biologics, like insulin, for instance — are off the table due to federal regulations. For others, it depends on how negotiations with manufacturers go, Reveley said. But the state is expected to finalize its list in the coming months because it’s a requirement for winning federal approval for the program.

Bimestefer said the state plans to submit its application to the federal Food and Drug Administration this fall. After that, it’s unclear how long the feds will take to review it.

State drug importation programs were made possible under rules passed during the Trump administration and continued during the Biden administration. But, so far, no state programs have been approved.

Florida was the first state to file an application with the feds, but, nearly two years later, it still doesn’t have an answer.

A Polis priority Colorado’s drug importation program is a major piece of Gov. Jared Polis’ health care agenda, one that has taken on even greater

Navigating Canadian concerns Even if the program receives federal approval, it still faces significant hurdles. Among the biggest: Will Canada actually go along?

For years, officials and advocacy groups in Canada have raised concerns about what large-scale export of drugs to the U.S. would do to the price and supply of medicines in Canada. This resulted, in late-2020, in a rule blocking the export of medications that are in short supply.

“Our health care system is a symbol of our national identity and we are committed to defending it,” Canada’s health minister said at the time.

But, to Bimestefer and other Colorado officials, this is not exactly a no.

Bimestefer said she has held meetings with the Canadian consulate to better understand Canada’s position, and she believes Colorado can construct its program in a way that does not hurt Canada’s pharmaceutical supply. The state, she said, will only look to import drugs that are not in shortage — and most of the most commonly used medications are not.

“We have committed to monitor and to not import drugs in a way that would impede any of their supplies,” Bimestefer said, speaking of a need to “be a very good partner to our friends to the north.”

“I believe they came down in a

way that allows us to do this.”

Beating industry opposition If Canada goes along, that leaves only one obstacle remaining: the pharmaceutical industry, which has staunchly opposed the effort.

In 2020, the industry filed a lawsuit seeking to stop implementation of the federal rules for state importation programs. That lawsuit is still ongoing — Florida earlier this year filed an amicus brief in support of the federal rules; Colorado has not done the same, according to federal court records.

The industry also opposed a bill in Congress that would write the federal rules on state importation programs into law.

“Drugs that enter the United States through drug importation schemes would circumvent FDA’s review and approval of our medicine supply,” Priscilla VanderVeer, the vice president of public policy at the pharmaceutical industry group PhRMA, said in a statement following a committee hearing on the federal bill.

Advocates for importation, including Bimestefer, said the programs will have numerous safeguards, including a requirement that drugs be purchased directly from manufacturers. But those requirements also make the pharmaceutical industry’s opposition more consequential — essentially giving the industry veto power over the programs.

Still, Bimestefer said she is optimistic that some manufacturers will want to work with Colorado to export Canadian drugs.

“We are poised to be able to do what is right and poised to be able to take on those who would impede us in bringing savings to Coloradans,” she said.

“We are going to find manufacturers who are willing to negotiate. If we didn’t think we would be able to find manufacturers who are willing to negotiate, we wouldn’t be pursuing this.”

COVID discussions continue as students return to school Endemic stage approaches

possibility that the virus’s impact across age groups could change, Douglas said.

Meanwhile, the state public health department has continued its loosened approach to addressing COVID risk in schools. And looking ahead, state officials aren’t currently considering adding COVID vaccination to the list of required vaccines for K-12 students for the 2023-24 school year, a statement from the department said.

As many Coloradans continue to return to life as normal, Elizabeth Carlton, an associate professor at the Colorado School of Public Health, emphasized the need to take the

PRESENTS

As students walk back into classrooms in the fourth school year amid the coronavirus pandemic, parents may find themselves wondering: When can we stop worrying about COVID-19?

“As we go into our third fall living with COVID, this has been an extraordinary experience for society, for public health departments, for folks that have been most impacted,” said Dr. John Douglas, head of TriCounty Health Department. “It’s been a hugely tragic circumstance.

We’ve lost over a million people in the U.S. I think we’ll be learning from this as we go.”

While experts say the pandemic looks much different than it did last year, predictions about what the return of school means in this era of fast-changing variants can be a mixed bag.

“My guess is bringing kids back to school will probably increase (COVID) transmission among kids, but it will probably have a limited impact on the community. Part of the reason I say that is we have so much built-up immunity,” Douglas said, referring to people who have been vaccinated and the unvaccinated who have been infected.

But each COVID variant can behave differently, leaving open the

virus seriously.

“I think what is challenging is communicating the severity of COVID risk, and it’s not uniform across the population,” Carlton said. She added: “It’s different for different people.”

Colorado still sees ups and downs Despite the many months of living without broad public health mandates in metro Denver counties, Colorado is seeing much fewer COVID hospitalizations than at the same time last year.

Back in the spring, Colorado hit a milestone: The state saw the lowest number of Coloradans hospitalized with COVID since the start of the pandemic — 77 statewide — on April 12, according to a report from the Colorado School of Public Health.

The low point in hospitalizations arrived even amid the highly contagious Omicron subvariants, and that’s partly because they seem to be less severe than the Delta variant was, Carlton said. Another factor was the rollout of Paxlovid, an antiviral drug that Carlton called “a game changer” for people who are at risk for COVID hospitalization — even though the drug isn’t yet as widely available as she would like.

But like clockwork, hospitalizations came roaring back, reaching 324 in mid-July, according to the state’s COVID website. (Not all patients who are counted are hospitalized “due to” the virus. For some, COVID is a less important or “inci-

dental” finding, such as for patients who are admitted for other reasons but test positive for COVID later.

The most recent breakdown showed about 63% hospitalized “for COVID” and about 31% hospitalized “with COVID” in early August.)

And while Colorado’s hospitalizations have come back down after a long plateau — the number was 236 in mid-August — it’s anyone’s guess as to when the next wave will arrive, particularly as school gets underway.

“Sports start again, parents start going back in the office — there’s all this mixing that changes as schools reopen. And that remixing of populations can facilitate” COVID spread, Carlton said. She added: “But we think that immunity is high enough that we shouldn’t see a dramatic spike in cases and hospitalizations.”

At the individual level, though, it’s important to realize that a lot of COVID is still circulating, so it’s a good time for people to make sure they and their families are vaccinated, Carlton said.

Just as the school season arrived, COVID protocols continued to loosen at the federal level, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention no longer suggesting people stay home after a virus exposure to see whether they catch COVID. The federal agency is now “recommending that instead of quarantining if you were exposed to COVID-19, you wear a high-quality mask for 10 days and get tested on day 5,” an Aug. 11 news release announced.

In Carlton’s view, “what sometimes gets lost in the messaging” is that the CDC still recommends masking after an exposure — and to stay home for five days if a test comes back positive.

“What we do know is masks are a highly effective tool for slowing the spread of (COVID) from one person to another, particularly if you wear a high-quality mask and both people are wearing a high-quality mask,” Carlton said. A KN95 or N95 mask would count as high quality, she said.

Is it endemic yet?

With some luck, COVID could be moving toward an endemic phase — where the disease is a more regular occurrence.

Douglas, the head of Tri-County Health, broke down the terminology like this: an epidemic is an occurrence of a health problem that exceeds what is expected. A pandemic is when that happens on a global basis.

“Endemic is when things are happening — it could be a high level, could be a low level — but it’s what you expect,” Douglas said.

He added: “I think we are getting to a point where we expect to be living through waves caused by new variants. We expect to (respond) to it with new vaccines.”

New variants could be more contagious and may be either less severe or more severe than earlier versions of the virus, Douglas said.

“I think we’ll know more about endemic stage in the rearview mirror,” Douglas said. He envisions a time when public health officials can look back and notice that the situation hasn’t been changing much — when variants arise but don’t behave much differently from each other.

“I don’t think next spring is an unlikely time frame for us to look back and say, ‘This is probably how COVID’s going to behave,’ ” Douglas gave as an estimate.

And while researchers likely won’t develop a new vaccine for every variant, there could be a new COVID vaccine every year, similar to the flu, Douglas said.

Right now, COVID is much less dangerous than it was, but it’s still

Strict COVID rules long gone For this school year, the state public health department signaled it will continue the more hands-off approach to COVID it began a year ago and has since loosened further.

In July 2021, Colorado removed mask requirements for schools and repealed the mandate for school protocols regarding outbreaks and other instances of COVID-19 cases.

That meant that schools no longer needed to adhere to the broad quarantine and isolation requirements in the state’s earlier public health orders. (The state still put forth nonessential guidance for schools.) And state and local public health officials still had “statutory authority to institute quarantine and isolation as needed to stop the spread of disease,” the state public health department said at the time.

In January, the state’s quarantine guidance updated to align with a change in CDC guidance, outlining that students and staff generally don’t need to quarantine if they were up to date on COVID vaccination. For those not up to date, the guidance shortened the recommend-

ed quarantine to five days, with five additional days of masking — down from the earlier suggestion of 10 days of quarantine.

As of August, quarantine in K-12 settings after “routine classroom exposures” is no longer recommended unless it’s part of a strategy put in place at the discretion of the school, district, or local public health agency when COVID cases are increasing, outbreaks are detected or community COVID levels are escalating, according to the state health department.

(Colorado’s August guidance echoes the state’s recommendations back in February, which suggested moving toward focusing less on quarantining of staff and students after exposures to COVID in school, according to a news release.)

“The last few updates to school guidance sought to reduce the burden of quarantine on school-agers and to prioritize in-person learning as tools to prevent severe disease became widely available in Colorado and is aligned with CDC’s recent guidance,” said a statement from the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the health department.

School districts and local public health agencies can make their own decisions as to whether to impose outbreak, quarantine or mask requirements that go beyond what the state mandates.

But in an era where broad mask mandates for the general public are a thing of the past in Colorado — state health officials say they are not aware of any mask mandates implemented at the municipal or

county level — local health and school officials are unlikely to take restrictive measures.

Asked whether Tri-County Health Department — the agency that oversees public health for Adams and Arapahoe counties and provides some services in Douglas County — has any school COVID protocols above the state’s protocols, Douglas, said: “We don’t at this point.”

If new variants or bigger outbreaks arise, Tri-County Health could become more active in fighting COVID, Douglas said. But if that happens, the agency would likely take an “educational” stance, he added.

It’s “very unlikely to be anything like mask mandates,” Douglas said.

affecting society in ways ranging from interrupting kids’ education to driving up the death toll, Carlton noted.

“In a typical year pre-COVID, influenza killed 12,000 to 52,000 people per year in the U.S. … so far in 2022, we’ve had about 187,000 COVID deaths in the U.S.,” said Carlton, who works in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at the Colorado School of Public Health.

SPORTS Prep golfers get in the swing of things

Highlands Ranch player takes medalist honors in tourney

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Aiden Krusoe is a confident high school golfer these days.

Krusoe is a senior at Highlands Ranch and took medalist honors with a 1-under-par 70 in the Continental League’s second tournament on Aug. 9 at King’s Deer Golf Club in Monument.

Spencer Schlagel of Legend and Charlie Tucker of Rock Canyon tied for second with even par rounds of 71. Kruose birdied the 539-yard, par 5 tenth hole to give him the 1-under-par score.

Krusoe was the low scorer for the second straight year at the Denver Public Schools Invite, which was held Aug. 8 at Wellshire, with a 2-under par 69, and Highlands Ranch won its second consecutive team title.

At the third Centennial League meet on Aug. 17 at Meadow Hills golf course, Krusoe fired an even par 70 and finished behind co-medalists Connor Scheich of Mountain Vista and Regis Jesuit’s Jake Ir-

vine, who both carded 1-underpar 69s. Highlands Ranch won the tourney with Regis the runner-up.

“Right now I’m playing good,” said Krusoe. “I feel my putting is the best it’s ever felt.

My swing feels good. I’m just playing confident.”

Highlands Ranch head boys golf coach Jon Cushing has similar feelings.

“He’s been a good player ever since he was a freshman,” added Cushing. “He’s made it to three state tournaments and he’s a leader on the team. He’s put in the work.”

Cushing says Krusoe is long hitter like most high school boys golfers but points out he is different because he follows up his drives with a complete all-around game.

Krusoe is also a basketball player for Highlands Ranch, but this season golf has reached the point that he can’t wait to tee it up for the next round.

“I’m just having fun,” he said.

“In the past I put a lot more pressure on myself. Right now I’m just enjoying it and enjoying my senior season, having a fun time and the scores will follow. I just take it one shot at a time and simplify the game.

“I’ve just focused on the mental side more than the

swing because I know I have swing and can do anything that anybody else can do. I just see myself doing a lot of good things on the course and just try to go out and do it and try to keep a positive attitude. I just try to go hit one good shot and follow it up with the next. I try not to think too far ahead.”

However, he is thinking about college.

“I’d love to go to Michigan State,” Krusoe said. “I’ve already turned in my application. That’s my dream school.

I just want to be a student and have fun.

“My grandpa played basketball there and my dad’s side of the family just loves that school. I grew up watching all their football and basketball games. I’m going back during fall break to watch the Michigan State-Wisconsin football game.”

Highlands Ranch finished third in last season’s 5A state tournament.

Arapahoe, led by seniors Grant Juergens and Max Zadvorny, is back as the defending state champions. The Warriors were the state runners-up in 2020 and 2019.

Other South Metro teams to watch this season include Aiden Krusoe, a senior at Highlands Ranch, has averaged 71.1 Valor Christian, Rock Canyon, strokes in the first four tournaments this season and has been Regis Jesuit and Cherry Creek. the medalist twice.

Creek wins field hockey season opener Bruins off to strong start with 4-0 victory over Arapahoe

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Launching the season opener with a victory is good, but Cherry Creek field hockey coach Paula Petit-Molina knows things can change during the season.

Creek defeated Arapahoe, 4-0, in a game played on Aug. 18 at Powell Middle School in Littleton.

“I’m so excited to have that as the season opener,” said Petit-Molina.

“My kids have been ready and working hard all preseason.

“A win is a win and I know as a coach and somebody that has played in Colorado (Kent Denver) myself that anything can change during the season. The season opener win is a good place to start and gives us a good foundation of what we need to work on for the future. I never expect anything.”

Junior Taylor Shoflick scored the first goal of the season for the Bruins and sophomore Grace Manning also tagged on a goal.

Emerson Helm was the leader as the sophomore tallied two goals for Creek.

“Everybody did pretty well,” added

Abby Lasseter (15) of Cherry Creek smacks the ball upfield during the game against PHOTO BY JIM BENTON Arapahoe on Aug. 18. The Bruins won, 4-0.

Petit-Molina. “I think my seniors played well and I’m really proud of them because they have been through a lot the last couple years so for them to alternate being really strong, really positive and really encouraging. A couple of them had injuries. They are coming back strong and so they all have to come out with good energy and good leadership on the field.

“It’s actually funny because I run a camp over the summer,” she said.

“So the players have been playing over the summer. They are very committed and from the beginning Cherry Creek is still like a family. So in July and August and coming into the preseason, they have had three months to come together.”

Cherry Creek, ranked fifth in the latest CHSAANow.poll, will have to deal with two-time defending state champion Regis Jesuit this season.

Regis has been in the past four championship games and won three of them.

Colorado Academy, which has won six state titles and been the runnerup seven times, is second ranked and Kent Denver is third. Kent Denver has won 10 state titles with the last one coming in 2016.

Cherry Creek has captured two state titles and finished second five times while Arapahoe started the season ranked fifth.

Doug Gilbert Castle Pines Republican nonsense What part of Secret, Top Secret and other government security clearances do Republicans and Republican members of Congress not understand? One of the most responsible positions a member of the U.S. military, or government employee, can have is the lowly position of Personnel Records Clerk. I held one of those positions at the Air Force Academy in 1960 when the first-ever class graduated. This required a Secret clearance which was increased to Top Secret when the cadets become Air Force officers. Our records were kept in a locked file cabinet with only two keys, mine and my immediate supervisor’s.

Leaving a cabinet unlocked over night was a court-martial offense as was leaving a personnel file on a desk over night for the cleaning crew to view.

Lets assume the Trump raid discovered computerized American citizen personnel files such as the dossier on the president of France.

Why would Trump want these files? Why would the Republican Party want him him to have these files? Why are they fighting tooth and nail for him to keep these files? The most valuable asset America has is not a bomb, plane or piece of military equipment, but its citizens.

Its free citizens.

Pro-life movement cares In response to Linda Newell’s “Since you asked …” column on Aug. 11: Not only a woman (the only gender with a uterus), but a man too can understand the dignity of God’s most precious creation, an unborn child.

It’s not just Christians but scientists too who understand that life begins at the moment of conception.

Not only does the pro-life movement care about the defenseless baby but we also care about the mother. As such we support resources that care for women and families.

Please see LoveLine as one such organization. We never want a woman or other affected family member to suffer the after-effects of an abortion.

This too is trauma.

The recent decision on Roe brought the abortion debate back to the individual states, where it should have been all along.

Hopefully we can work together to assist a woman who finds herself with an unwanted pregnancy and bring that pregnancy to full term allowing a couple the opportunity to adopt her baby.

Thank you, Linda Newell Thanks to Linda Newell for her columns concerning the Dobbs decision. The fact that the negative responses she received in response to her column were almost all from men reveals the impulse some men have to exert control over women’s bodies. Whether you are a woman or man, you are entitled to your opinion about abortion, and entitled to express it. But the underlying gender power politics involved in many anti-abortionists’ views will not stop with Dobbs. Better stock up on those birth-control pills ladies!

He is going blind, he had a app0intment with A vet that specializes in eye surgery, 2 days after he went missing, he had all his teeth out due to prior neglect.

His vest was found along the walking path in Lone tree all laid out nice and neat, only a human could have done that whoever has him or knows who him has please be kind and call or take him to the Lone Tree police. He is chipped and is so very much loved and missed. Buddy went missing this past March 3rd, I am offering a $500 dollar reward for him. Please call 303-507-9533

4.2.1.7. Improvements to Sanitary Sewer System.

Up to $57,462,000 was spent by Aurora for extension and upgrade of its sanitary sewer system necessary for wastewater treatment and reuse within the South Platte River Basin of the subject water rights. 4.2.1.8. Prairie Waters Project. The Prairie Waters Project is a large comprehensive water supply, storage and treatment project in which return flows to the South Platte River from Aurora’s water sources, including the water that is the subject of this application, may be rediverted for subsequent reuse. To facilitate this project Aurora obtained various decrees in Case Nos. 06CW104, 03CW414, and 03CW415, Water Division 1. This project allows further reuse of much of the water decreed to Aurora. During the diligence period, Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 15CW3064, finding reasonable diligence for the water rights originally decreed in Case No. 06CW104 (decreed December 1, 2017). On November 23, 2021 in Case No. 21CW3006 Aurora obtained a decree finding reasonable diligence for the Aurora-Everist No. 2 water rights originally decreed in Case No. 03CW414.

Aurora has expended at least $4,081,000 on several elements of the Prairie Waters Project during this diligence period.

4.2.1.9. Lawn Irrigation Return Flows (LIRFs) Credits. Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 02CW341, Water Division 1, on September 25, 2008, quantifying LIRFs from its municipal system (and subsequent requantifications as required by the Decree in 02CW341), generated as a result of use of transmountain water rights, fully consumable in-basin water rights, decreed and permitted non-tributary sources and any other fully consumable water available to Aurora. Aurora also installed seventeen new monitoring wells and expends manpower to monitor these wells every three months. Water that is used in Aurora’s

service area can be reused under the decree in Case No. 02CW341. On April 15, 2018 the Court granted an Aurora motion to approve revised deep percolation percentages, revised unit response factors, and revised accounting forms. Aurora has expended significant sums during this diligence period for engineering and legal costs required to requantify the LIRFs adjudicated in Case No. 02CW341 available for reuse. 4.2.1.10. Binney Water Purification Facility. This state-of-the-art water purification and recycling plant owned and operated by Aurora treats water for use throughout the City. Approximately $13,489,000 was spent

by Aurora during the diligence period for improvements to this facility. 4.2.1.11. Aurora Know Your Flow Program. During the diligence period Aurora Water Conservation developed its voluntary Know Your Flow Program designed to help customers understand how efficiently they are using water. Through the program, Aurora Water Conservation estimates what a customer’s water use could be for a given billing cycle if the customer were using water efficiently. The customer receives a monthly e-mail from Aurora Water Conservation showing the property’s actual water use versus the customized recommended indoor and outdoor water use. Customers also receive weekly watering recommendations and tips during the irrigation season. The Know Your Flow Program was designed by Aurora to encourage more efficient use of the water that is the subject of this application. 4.2.2. Arkansas River Basin. 4.2.2.1.

Payment for purchase and lease of Rocky Ford Ditch shares. During this diligence period, Aurora spent approximately $796,000 for repayment of bonds and payments to note sellers, including principal and interest, that were issued or refunded for the purchase of original Rocky Ford Ditch shares changed in Case No. 83CW18, Water Division 2.

4.2.2.2. Otero IGA. Aurora and Otero County entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement on February 22, 1994, and amended that Agreement on October 29, 2001 under which Amendment Aurora agreed to make annual payments to Otero County concerning the Rocky Ford Ditch shares that are the source for the subject conditional water rights. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments of approximately $267,000.

Intergovernmental Agreement with SECWCD. On October 3, 2003, Aurora entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District (“SECWCD”), replacing an agreement between the parties dated December 7, 2001. Under this new IGA, Aurora and SECWCD agreed to support proposed federal legislation relating to the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project to include, among other things, re-operations of the existing water storage facilities, studies for enlargements to Pueblo and Turquoise Reservoirs, and confirming the authority of the Bureau of Reclamation to enter into contracts with Aurora for use of the facilities including long-term contracts. Aurora’s ability to use Fryingpan-Arkansas facilities is expanded under this IGA and Aurora is obligated to make certain payments to SECWCD in consideration for the expanded use. Under this IGA, SECWCD also agreed not to oppose Aurora’s attempts to contract with the Bureau of Reclamation for use of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project facilities, to facilitate delivery of Aurora’s water, and to settle opposition to each other’s water court applications. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments of approximately $913,000 to SECWCD under this IGA. 4.2.2.6. Intergovernmental Agreement with LAVWCD. Pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservation District (“LAVWCD”), Aurora paid approximately $1,000,000 to LAVWCD for the identification and implementation of infrastructure improvements, research, and investigations designed to assist in the permitting or implementation of water leasing programs in the Lower Arkansas Valley, as well as remediation and restoration efforts in the Fountain Creek Corridor. 4.2.2.7.

Agreements for Use of the Holbrook System Facilities. On March 1, 2005, Aurora entered into two agreements pertaining to the use of the diversion, conveyance and storage facilities of the Holbrook Mutual Irrigating Company (“Holbrook”).

Aurora and Holbrook extended this agreement on February 2, 2010. These agreements implement a program to recapture and store yield from foregone diversions of senior water rights. Aurora completed structural modifications to the Holbrook system facilities and filed a Substitute Water Supply Plan necessary to implement the program. An Amended Agreement was entered into on April 21, 2016. Further, Aurora initiated a study to examine enlargement of the Holbrook Reservoir to further facilitate operations. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments of approximately $401,000 to Holbrook under this agreement.

4.2.2.8. Recovery of Yield (“ROY”). On August 17, 2016, Aurora, along with Colorado Springs, the Pueblo Board of Water Works, the City of Fountain, and the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, obtained a decree in WD-2, Case No. 06CW120 adjudicating exchanges necessary as a result of the 2004 Regional Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) between the various water providers and the City of Pueblo, whereby the water providers agreed to allow certain of their senior flows to pass through Pueblo’s RICD reaches on the condition those flows could be removed downstream and exchanged back upstream. In addition, the ROY participants, including Aurora, have made significant efforts to secure the Arkansas Gravel Pit Reservoir (“AGPR”) or a comparable facility. In December 2021 the ROY participants purchased the so-called Fossel property for potential use as a reservoir site. Aurora has expended approximately $22,000 on these efforts during the diligence period. 4.2.2.9. Revegetation. Aurora has expended approximately $1,955,000 during this diligence period for revegetation, including expenditures for expert revegetation classifications and reports, actual revegetation and weed control costs, as well as farm equipment purchases, office overhead and personnel costs, under Case No.

83CW18. Aurora also expended additional sums for revegetation and continued farming of historically irrigated lands pursuant to the decree in Case No. 99CW169(A). On June 3, 2014, Aurora entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with Otero County to clarify between the parties certain terms contained in the 99CW169(A) decree regarding revegetation. 4.2.3. Colorado River Basin. 4.2.3.1. Homestake Project. Once water is transported over the Continental Divide through the Otero Pump Station and Homestake Pipeline, Aurora transports its share to Spinney Mountain Reservoir in the South Platte Basin. Aurora has spent approximately $20,374,000 toward further development of the Homestake Project’s conditional water rights. 4.2.3.2. Aurora prosecuted Case No. 16CW3022, Water Division 5. On September 17, 2017, the Division 5 Water Court entered a decree confirming diligence and continuing in effect the conditional water rights originally decreed in Case 88CW449, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. 4.2.3.3. Aurora prosecuted Case No. 16CW3131, Water Division 5. On June 18, 2017, the Division 5 Water Court entered a decree confirming diligence and continuing in effect the conditional water rights originally decreed in Case 98CW270, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. 4.2.3.4. Aurora prosecuted Case No. 17CW3064, Water Division 5. On June 10, 2018, the Division 5 Water Court entered a decree confirming diligence and continuing in effect the conditional water rights originally decreed in Case 95CW272-A, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. 4.2.3.5.

Aurora assisted in the filing of an application and litigation of Case No. 20CW3024, Water Division 5, seeking a decree making conditional water rights absolute in part, confirming diligence and continuing in effect the remainder of the conditional water rights originally decreed in Case CA1193, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. 4.2.3.6. During this diligence period, Aurora entered into an Agreement and Intergovernmental Agreement with Colorado River Water Conservation District, Basalt Water Conservancy District, Board of County Commissioners of Eagle County, Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin County, Grand Valley Water Users Association, Orchard Mesa Irrigation District, and the Ute Water Conservancy District, effective date August 1, 2018 (the “Settlement Agreement”). Inter alia, the Settlement Agreement addressed resolution of 09CW142, Water Division 2, amongst certain parties thereto, and is filed in the Court’s file for Case No. 09CW142. As contemplated and limited by the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Aurora filed an application in Case No. 19CW3159, Water Division 5, seeking judicial determination of appropriative rights of exchange by which 900 acre feet of water of the Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal Company (“Twin Lakes”), available to Aurora via its share ownership and over which Aurora has maintained dominion and control in any one year will be moved as follows. Water from Grizzly Reservoir will be placed into Lincoln Gulch, a tributary of Lincoln Creek, or bypassed from the Twin Lakes system’s Roaring Fork River basin facilities into other tributaries of the Roaring Fork River, and then exchanged from the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Rivers upstream on the Fryingpan River to Ruedi Reservoir and an additional exchange, as a component subset of the 900 acre feet, up to 450 acre feet in any one year from Ruedi Reservoir upstream to Ivanhoe Reservoir located upon Ivanhoe Creek for subsequent movement into Water Division 2.

4.2.4. Protection Efforts: During this diligence period, Aurora made expenditures in excess of $160,000 for legal services for participation in Water Divisions 2 and 5 cases to protect the rights and interests of Aurora with regard to its water supply system, including the subject conditional water rights. 4.3. Non-Basin Specific Efforts.

4.3.1. Study of Aurora’s Water Needs. Aurora spent approximately $2,500,000 towards its Integrated Water Master Plan to assist in determining the City’s future water needs and developing a plan to meet those needs. This study will increase the overall efficiency of Aurora’s operations. 4.3.2.

Aurora Raw Water System Model. Aurora spent additional sums for consultant fees to develop and support a computer model of Aurora’s raw water system. These costs are in addition to the modeling efforts included in the engineering and planning studies identified in paragraph 4.3.1, above.

4.4. Other. Aurora reserves the right to identify additional relevant efforts that may be later discovered or to make upward adjustments to amounts expended on certain projects. Aurora has an extensive water rights portfolio, an extensive and complex water supply, collection, treatment and reuse system, and an extensive number of agreements, contracts, leases, etc. related to its facilities and the use, reuse and storage of its water rights. It is involved in many legal actions related to the collection, treatment, reuse and protection of its water rights. Further, the management, protection, and operation of the water rights and the facilities system involve numerous City of Aurora departments and staff members throughout the state. Aurora made diligent efforts with regard to this application to determine and quantify all efforts made by the City toward completion of the appropriations and application of the water rights decreed in Case No. 04CW218 to beneficial use. However, it is reasonably possible that relevant efforts or expenditures may have been overlooked or need further upward adjustment.
