Prop 120 will drop property taxes — at least for some Measure is one of 3 on Colorado’s statewide ballot BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Who’s up in those City Park trees? Denver’s urban forest greets autumn and a magical new playground BY KIRSTEN DAHL COLLINS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
In the fall, as the leafy giants
of City Park gird themselves for winter, they put on one last magnificent show of scarlet, russet and gold. Denver Parks and Recreation forester Ben Rickenbacker and his 12-person staff also gird themselves, because winter is pruning time. That’s when men and women, mostly young, strap on up to 30 pounds of equipment — including
chainsaws, handsaws, ropes, blocks and pulleys — and prepare to climb as much as 100 feet to minister to the needs of towering oaks, elms, lindens and the many other species that populate Denver’s urban forest. In the fall, deciduous trees slow their production of chlorophyll, SEE TREES, P4

Colorado’s residential property taxes are already among the nation’s lowest, but a measure on the 2021 statewide ballot would drop them ever lower — for some. Proposition 120 would, if approved by voters, reduce the property tax assessment rates for multifamily housing to 6.5% from 7.15% starting in 2022. If you owned affected property valued at $300,000, you would pay $1,950 per 100 mills (a mill is a $1 payment on every $1,000 of assessed value) versus $2,145. The rate would also be reduced under Proposition 120 for lodging properties from 29% to 26.4%. If you owned affected property valued at $300,000, you would pay $7,920 versus $8,700. Proponents of the measure say a property tax reduction for multifamily housing could reduce rents and encourage investment to ease the state’s housing shortage. Lower property taxes for lodging property may allow businesses to expand and hire more employees. “Property values are skyrocketing right now,” said Michael Fields, who leads Colorado Rising Action, the conservative fiscal policy nonprofit SEE PROP 120, P11

Children’s Hospital reduces services in some locations Increase in patients, staffing shortages a growing problem statewide BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the number of patients continues to increase, Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHC) has announced a cutback in services at locations across the metro area due to staffing shortages. While the south campus in Highlands Ranch will remain open with all services, as of Sept. 23, services at other facilities such as Wheat Ridge and Parker will be reduced or closed. Sarah Davis, CHC media relations specialist, said hospitals specializing in treating children across the U.S. are struggling for a variety of reasons. Due to the continued challenges, the news release provided by Davis said CHC will be consolidating services wherever possible to continue providing efficient and effective healthcare. As of Sept. 23, CHC made the following changes: • Temporary suspension of afterhours virtual urgent care services. • Temporary closure of the urgent care services at Children’s Colorado’s Wheat Ridge and uptown locations. • Temporary suspension of Children’s Colorado’s services at Parker Adventist Hospital, resulting in a temporary closure of this location. The Parker Adventist emergency department remains open. Urgent care services will remain unchanged at the CHC South Campus in Highlands Ranch and the north campus in Broomfield. Davis said besides the urgent care center keeping regular hours in Highlands Ranch, the emergency room will remain open 24/7. Cara Welch, director of communications for the Colorado Hospital Association (CHA), said the recent announcement from CHC is no surprise as hospitals across the state and nation are struggling to maintain staffing levels as patient needs are increasing. Welch said from the start of the pandemic, CHA has focused on the three S’s — Space, Supplies and Staffing. While bed space and supplies are not the issue they were a year ago, hospital staffing is a major problem, she said. Welch said there are a variety of reasons hospitals and medical organizations are seeing a shortage. While COVID cases continue to surge and take up funding and energy, she said hospitals are unable to get traveling nurses and added resources. “Other factors really driving the current conditions in the healthcare workforce is burnout,” Welch said. “Healthcare workers are either tired and taking a muchneeded break or they are leaving the industry altogether.” Davis said, “Staffing chal-
lenges are being seen across many business sectors, not just healthcare. However, regarding healthcare workers, it is likely a result of several factors. Healthcare workers have been at the forefront of the pandemic for the past year and a half, and everyone’s resilience is at a low.” Welch said it is a perfect storm of issues that will continue to be a problem as COVID vaccine mandate deadlines have now approached. With Oct. 1 being the first established deadline set by the state for healthcare workers to get the first round of the vaccine, Welch said healthcare organizations statewide have a lot of stress and anxiety over what will happen. Healthcare workers are mandated to have the second vaccine by Oct. 31. Welch said current state regulations require hospitals and medical organizations to be 100% percent compliant. This rule is unattainable, she said, with religious and other exemptions. Welch said CHA is working with the state to get the mandate decreased to 90% compliance, which is what is required for the influenza vaccine among healthcare workers. Currently, Welch said, each individual medical organization will be required to make sure healthcare workers comply with the vaccination mandates. As they start the process of determining who is following the state and federal rules, Welch said each organization will take action as required. “As healthcare providers, all hospitals want their staff to get the vaccinations,” Welch said. “But there are always exemptions, and that 100% threshold should be reduced. Our hospitals and the healthcare industry have really been put in a difficult spot.” Davis said the Children’s Hospital believes in the vaccinations. “Children’s Hospital Colorado believes vaccines save lives,” she said. “Requiring our team to be vaccinated affirms our commitment to the safety and care of our team members, patients and their families.” The announcement for Children’s Hospital to cut services came after a summer where administrators have expressed concerns over the growing demand for youth medical care. Mental health issues continues to rise, COVID cases have increased with the delta variant and an unexpectedly high number of respiratory viruses have continued. Welch said, like CHC, hospitals across the state are reporting not just an increase in unvaccinated COVID patients, but also in mental health cases and respiratory virus cases. All of this is happening as hospitals are gearing up for the unknowns of an upcoming flu season, she said.

shed their leaves and begin to go dormant for the winter. That’s the best time to prune, according to Rickenbacker, because without their leaves, “you can really see the structure.” Dormancy also lessens the chance of accidentally spreading diseases like Dutch elm or fireblight. Pruning is essential for landscape trees, since they co-exist with people. Removing deadwood and coaxing trees into structurally sound, balanced shapes is essential for their health — not to mention the safety of wandering pedestrians. But Rickenbacker and his colleague, Urban Forestry Inspector Paul Cancik, frown on bucket trucks, which make it difficult to reach dense interior branches. “It’s better to climb the tree,” Rickenbacker said. “But it’s a dangerous job. You can be 60 feet up with a chain saw inches from your leg.” Added Cancik: “You have to be a real athlete.” Forestry’s Operations Division routinely practices aerial rescue. “One employee dislocated his kneecap when swinging between branches,” Rickenbacker recounts, “and couldn’t make it down on his own.” The pampered trees of City Park As forestry operations supervisor, Rickenbacker and his crew are responsible for the care of 82,000 park and parkway trees. Cancik is with the Forestry Inspections Division,

park sprawls over more than 320 acres and houses the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. The park is home to more than 3,000 trees and hundreds of different species. Pampered by irrigation, many of the trees grow much larger than in the wild. Every fall, some earn the title of State Champion from the Colorado Tree Coalition (CTC), a volunteer group working to preserve community forests. The group selects from among 750 species. According to the CTC’s Neal Bamesberger, City Park is currently home to five State Champions — including two pine varieties over 65 feet high. In fact, this urban preserve has so many large, old trees that a decade ago, Parks & Rec considered turning the park into an arboretum. The arboretum map, offering a self-guided tour of 70 trees, is still available online at City Park Arboretum Tree Walk. Leafy eccentrics, large and small There’s a lot for tree lovers to choose from in City Park. “Possibly the most spectacular — and underappreciated — tree feature in the park is the Robert More Pinetum,” said horticulturalist Sonia John, curator of the Arboretum at Regis University. A preserve of 120 conifers southeast of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, the little-known Pinetum (pronounced: pie-NEE-tum) has no sign marking the entrance, no paths and no labels on the trees. But if you descend from the museum’s southern terrace down a set of broad steps, you’ll find yourself surrounded by pinion, ponderosa, mugo and white pines along with three types of juniper, and whiteand-blue spruce. There are even some bald cypress — a species that often grows semi-submerged in the bayous of Louisiana. Not all the park’s conifers have survived the city’s 2004 switch to irrigating with recycled water. The
higher salt level in this water has been particularly tough on conifers, since they can’t rid themselves of excess salt by shedding their leaves. But one tree that appears to be thriving is a 67-foot State Champion red pine east of Ferril Lake, in the south-central section of the park. Red pines, the state tree of Minnesota, actually prefer sandy soil with low nutrients — which makes them well-suited to the harsh, high desert conditions of Denver. Can a tree that’s only 17-feet-high qualify as a State Champion? That seems unlikely, except in the Kingdom of Lilliput. But what it lacks in size, the park’s State Champion yellowhorn makes up for in durability. Native to northeastern China and Korea, the yellowhorn is currently thriving in an un-irrigated southeastern section of the park. The yellowhorn’s fruit, which resembles an exploded baseball, contains so much oil it has stirred interest as a biofuel. Most of the tree is edible, including the seeds. Rickenbacker and Cancik compared the flavor to macadamia or hazelnuts. Rickenbacker and Cancik are also impressed by Japanese pagoda trees, including a 65-footer on the park’s east side, which has a full, rounded shape, bright green compound leaves composed of 10-15 leaflets and not one, but five, thick, sinuous trunks. “It’s one of the few trees to flower in late summer,” Rickenbacker said approvingly. He eyed the pagoda tree’s generous assortment of trunks. “If these were all one trunk instead of five, this would definitely be a State Champion.” Nature Play As in Washington Park, City Park foresters try to preserve dead trees that don’t threaten to fall on people. Since there is no public access to the island in Duck Lake, several dead trees were left upright, where SEE TREES, P5

they provide a rookery for nesting cormorants. Forestry also supplies logs and branches to the Denver Zoo, where tree-munching animals like giraffes and zebras use them as “browse.” A dead maple’s upright skeleton will also play a nurturing role — but for children instead of animals. In an unusual partnership between Parks & Recreation and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, the small playground in the park’s southeastern quadrant will be redeveloped with a new focus on natural objects for kids to explore. The City Park Nature Play & Waterway Restoration project will span three and a half acres, and with plenty of logs and boulders for climbing. Water will once again flow through the park’s historic DeBoer waterway, constructed in 1953 but dry in recent years. The revived waterway will offer stepping stones, bridges and sandy “beaches” — guaranteeing play that’s not only natural but satisfyingly messy. And just to cover all bases, there will also be traditional swing sets and slides. Construction is slated to begin next year, in time to open the new play area for the spring of 2023. A nearby tree might just bestow good luck on the project. In the northeastern corner of the old playground, stands a tall catalpa, with floppy, heart-shaped leaves and seed pods resembling green beans. There’s something a little magical

about catalpas, which perfume the air every spring with huge clusters of sweet-smelling flowers. And the magic doesn’t stop there. “About 12 fairies live up in the tree,” reported a Life on Capitol Hill reader recently. “Look for the scar on the trunk, then look up 15 feet.” If you do, you will discover that foresters are not the only ones who climb trees in City Park. The new nature-based playground will preserve the fairy wishing tree. And park visitors who wish to honor this Gaelic tradition can continue to leave offerings for the resident tree spirit. Is this at odds with the concept of a science-based playground? Perhaps not. The very idea of fairies — with their acorn hats and cobweb garments — was probably inspired long ago by fascination with the natural world. Exactly the sentiment Nature Play hopes to inspire in kids.

Colorado Community Media honored for past women of excellence Colorado Press Women celebrates 80 years BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
With a long history of producing community journalism, several newspapers that are now part of Colorado Community Media have been led by strong women since they started being published. As part of celebrating its 80th year as an organization, Colorado Press Women (CPW) recently recognized women from four Colorado Community Media (CCM) newspapers who were employed by or owned the publications, dating back to the 1940s. The women were also original members of CPW. CCM honorees include: Co-publisher Katherine Bemis of the Littleton Independent Owner and publisher Vera West Parson for the Golden Transcript Owner and publisher Mary H. Isham and editor Lucille Hastings of the Brighton Blade Co-publisher C.A. of the Fort Lupton Press
CPW also paid tribute to Daisy Baber, a longtime columnist with the Lyons Recorder. Accepting the certificates on behalf of CCM during the Oct. 2 hybrid meeting was new publisher Linda Shapley. Like the women being recognized by CPW, Shapley brings decades of newspaper experience to CCM. “I’m honored to continue the news leadership that these remarkable journalists helped begin 80 years ago,” Shapley said. “As the original founders said, ‘Press women have a weapon to shape the peace or destruction of the world,’ and I aim to use that weapon responsibly to build up the next generation of journalists and create stronger communities across the Front Range.” Shapley is referring to the early days of CPW in 1941 when it became an affiliate of the National Federation of Press Women (NFPW), which was established in 1938. In recruiting CPW members, on the eve of the U.S. entry into World War II, NFPW founder Bertha Bless said, “Press women have the opportunity of the century

to create a thinking America that can lead the world out of its present chaos. We must save not only the right of the press but also Americans. Grassroots journalism represented in small town and country newspapers doesn’t know its own power. Press women have a weapon to shape the peace of de-
struction of the world.” Today, CPW is a diverse organization of professional communicators, both men and women, who are reporters, editors, broadcasters, public relations practitioners, publishers, advertising and marketing practitioners, college communications educators,
graphic designers, photographers, freelance writers and others. “Looking back 80 years at the state of Colorado Press Women, what impresses me most is that 13 of our charter members were publishers and/or editors or their small-town newspapers — strong women,” said CPW President Sandy Nance. “It’s no wonder that equality for women has been as basic an expectation of our membership as our support for the First Amendment.” Early on, CPW focused on establishing rural libraries. Today, Nance said CPW works to help people sort fact from fiction on the Internet. With the emergence of teleconferencing and Zoom, Nance said CPW will focus on increasing membership throughout all of Colorado and not just newspapers along the Front Range. Today, Colorado Community Media continues to grow, focusing on the importance of community journalism. The media company currently owns 24 community newspapers in Adams, Arapahoe, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson and Weld counties.

Lending library honors victims of Aurora theater shooting Former Columbine High student worked on tribute at 7/20 Memorial BY BRIAN WILLIE AND KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
For more than two decades, Brandon Kellogg has tried to process the trauma caused by gun violence he experienced as a teenager. In 1999, Kellogg was a freshman at Columbine High School when 12 of his schoolmates and a teacher were shot and killed. Though he survived the shooting, the healing process is ongoing. Part of that healing has been Kellogg’s work with the 7/20 Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit established after another mass shooting that rocked Colorado and the country as a whole: the Aurora theater shooting on July 20, 2012. Nine years after the Aurora tragedy, Rocky Mountain PBS spoke with Heather Dearman, the 7/20 Memorial Foundation’s CEO. Dearman’s cousin, Ashley Moser, was wounded in the shooting, and Moser’s daughter was killed. Dearman’s nonprofit established the 7/20 Memorial, located on East Alameda Parkway adjacent to the Aurora Municipal Center. When we spoke with her in July, she highlighted the memorial’s newest addition: a paper crane little lending

library. “I come in here feeling really accomplished that we’re paying the love forward that we were meant to pay forward,” she told us. Dearman worked with Kellogg to build the little library. It houses not only free books for people to take, but also paper cranes that people
can fold and leave messages on. In July, the library wasn’t a permanent part of the memorial. That changed in September. Kellogg cemented the lending library into the ground, and the cement carries a special significance. In the days following the shooting nine years ago, a makeshift memo-
rial was set up across the street from the Century Aurora 16 theater where the shooting occurred. Hundreds of cards, photos, flowers, stuffed animals and other memorial items quickly piled up. The items were archived by the SEE LIBRARY, P19

How we manage change impacts retention of the best
W
elcome back to part three of this five-part series on “The 5 C’s of Retaining Top Talent.” In week one we discussed the importance of connecting with our team members, and last week we added a discussion around WINNING collaboration. Recognizing that WORDS everyone on our team, including our top performers, wants to be part of the creative and strategic thinking that will lead to personal and professional success. Next up is the Michael Norton role of change and how managing change can make or break us when it comes to attracting, hiring, developing, and retaining top performers. As I prepared for this series, I had time to spend a few hours on my favorite beach. A beach I knew growing up, and a beach I visited often even after moving to Colorado. And as I walked along the shoreline, I thought about how much I have
seen the beach change over the years. And although it changes with every storm, wind gust, and tide, it is still the beach. Superstorm Sandy back in 2012 leveled most of the homes along this stretch of beach. Most of which have been rebuilt, even more beautifully than before. Dredging and relocating sand has also played a role in the protection of the beach from the erosion that comes along with the storms, winds, and tides. The beach endures the changes that the storms, winds, and tides throw its way. This is similar to our businesses in a way. Businesses today face storms, winds, and tides too. They come in the form of shifts in the economy, an unexpected pandemic, innovation and technology advancements, societal pressures, and a volatile political landscape. As we think about attracting, hiring, developing, and retaining current and future top performers, we must acknowledge that how we manage change, will directly impact how we hire, who we hire, and how long they stay with us as a part of our team. Join me back on the beach for a moment. As I walked along the
shoreline, I walked with others combing the beach for pristine shells, sea glass, and other treasures that the new tide had washed ashore. I watched as people would pick up a shell, look at it and determine to keep it or toss it back. That made me think of the top talent that is out there looking to join a winning team and growing company. Just like the walk along the beach, there are many people trying to find those top performers, those potential new team members that can make such a huge difference for our business. Our job as leaders and coworkers is to walk the beach as often as we can. To look for not only the best and the brightest, but to also see what is broken, what needs change, or what change needs to be managed differently. Tom Peters and Robert H. Waterman used the phrase, “Management by wandering around,” in their book, “In Search of Excellence: Lessons from America’s Best Run Companies.” It means we purposely walk the beaches of our business looking for opportunities to recognize people, make changes, and learn what is most
important about the way we manage change and lead our business. Is this a case for “Change Management?” In a way, yes. But “Change Management” will be limited in its success if we fail to first identify what needs to change and then include a change readiness and communications strategy. When we lack connection, overlook collaboration, and then mismanage change, others will easily come by and pick up the best and brightest as they walk along the shoreline looking for top talent for their own organization. The storms, winds, and tides will certainly shape our business, they will cause us to change, and change for the better. Are you ready to manage those changes? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we can change with the tide, avoid erosion, and keep our best and brightest, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

the young and otherwise healthy, become critically ill and even die from COVID-19. Colorado hospitals report that 81% of currently hospitalized COVID-19 patients are unvaccinated and there are zero Coloradans hospitalized for vaccine side-effects. The hospitalization rate from COVID-19 is about four times higher in unvaccinated vs. vaccinated (726 vs. 168 per 100,000 cases). The death rate from COVID-19 is about six times higher for the unvaccinated vs vaccinated (47 vs. 8.1 per 1 million cases). If I’m pregnant, should I get the COVID-19 vaccine? Yes. The CDC formally recommended COVID-19 vaccination to women “who are pregnant, recently pregnant (including those who are lactating), who are trying to become pregnant now, or who might become pregnant in the future.” In this group, the benefits of vaccination outweigh known or potential risks. As of Sept. 27, more than 125,000 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases have been reported in pregnant people, including more than 22,000 hospitalized cases and 161

deaths. Of the pregnant women hospitalized with COVID-19, 97% of them were unvaccinated. Getting vaccinated protects children (unborn, breastfeeding and all under 12), who cannot yet receive the vaccine. Are vaccines dangerous? No. Vaccines are much safer than COVID-19 infection. There are rare side effects in a very small number of patients. However, getting COVID-19 can make you very sick, and you might even die. Even if you don’t die, you may develop lifelong symptoms. If I have had COVID-19, should I still get the vaccine? Yes. Unvaccinated individuals are more than twice as likely to be reinfected with COVID-19 than those who were fully vaccinated after initially contracting the virus. Vaccines also provide longer-lasting immunity. Lastly, the vaccines have been shown to protect people against the currently circulating types of the virus, called variants. Natural infection may not offer the same protection. Can you get COVID-19 twice? Yes. Your body’s immune system response to COVID-19 is highly

variable, so you can get it twice. That’s also why different people can have such different symptoms from the virus. We do know that getting vaccinated after an infection means you are much less likely to get infected twice. Do the vaccines protect against long-haul COVID-19? Yes. About a third of COVID-19 cases may have ongoing symptoms that last months, a situation known as “long- haul COVID.” But this is extremely rare in the vaccinated. Research shows that 30-40% of people with long-haul COVID symptoms, such as brain fog, persistent shortness of breath or stomach issues, improve after receiving a COVID vaccine, which may be the vaccine helping the immune system fight the remaining virus. Can getting the COVID-19 vaccine protect against the emergence of new variants? Yes. This is one of the most important aspects of immunization. Immunization protects against the development of new variants, because the virus is not given the chance to mutate and evolve when it jumps

tax exemption. Seniors and veterans with a service-related disability are eligible for the exemption, which allows those who qualify to exempt 50% of the first $2,000 of residential value from property taxes. In 2020, the average exemption was $584. Here’s more helpful information from nonpartisan staff at the legislature: “In years the exemption is available, the state reimburses local governments for the revenue reduction resulting from the property tax exemption. The state spent $157.9 million on local government reimbursements in state budget year 2020-21. In some years, the state legislature has made the exemption temporarily unavailable as a budget balancing decision. The last year the exemption was not available was 2011.” There’s one more thing voters may want to know: Fields has vowed to file a lawsuit seeking to invalidate Senate Bill 293 should Proposition 120 pass. “They can’t kneecap or adjust our ballot initiative when it’s already through the process,” Fields said in explaining his legal argument against Senate Bill 293. If the lawsuit is successful, it’s not clear if Proposition 120 would then reduce the assessment rates for all property and residential taxes in Colorado. However, that’s what the Common Sense Institute believes would happen. “It is a serious concern,” said Wasserman, from the Bell Policy Center. Wasserman worries that the lawsuit could serve as a slippery slope affecting future legislatures and future ballot issues. “Just because you take out a ballot title doesn’t mean you get to have the exclusive conversation about an issue in Colorado,” he said.

his death,” Farmer-Selden said. Farmer-Selden’s parents struggled to find ways to help their son to thrive despite his disabilities and often ran into challenges from the state, she said. Farmer-Selden wrote the 104-page book, titled “Value of a Life,” in part to let readers know about the legislation that came from her family’s advocacy, she said. “I wanted others to know as a society we have not really come that far in inclusion for people with disabilities,” she said. “It is my personal belief that you can measure a society’s moral compass not by the rhetoric of its public officials but by the way traditionally marginalized groups are faring and honestly, I believe that Colorado still has a long way to go especially in providing equity in services outside of the metro area.” Farmer-Selden began writing the book in November 2019 and it was published in February 2021. In her writing, she used documents and
journal entries from her mother about the struggles the family faced in “attempting to provide the best possible life for my brother,” she said. She also used documents showing the lack of services that were available to her brother due to the severity of his disabilities. Farmer-Selden said that during her writing process, she was challenged by memories of the “negative attitudes” her brother and family experienced for “allowing him to be an active member of our family.” “This did not just come from neighbors but from some members of our extended family,” she said. The final chapter of the book is a copy of Farmer-Selden’s mom’s diary from the final days of Jules’ life. “As my mom passed away in 2002, I felt an incredible sense of responsibility in representing what she would want to communicate if she were writing the chapter herself and I felt it was only fitting that she
gets the final word in this book,” she said. Farmer-Selden decided to write the book after trying to find services for her foster son, who is on the autism spectrum. “I struggled to understand why nearly 50 years after my brother’s death, Americans with disabilities are still challenged with physical environments that are not accessible,” she said. Farmer-Selden also said she believes people with disabilities lack assistive technology and internet access and experience negative attitudes from others. “We need to be conscious of the attitudes we hold regarding others who are not like us,” Farmer-Selden said. “If I can have one person act on this message, I have been successful in this effort and honored my brother and my parents.” The book, sold for $12, is available for purchase at tinyurl.com/Valueof-a-life.

The money raised would go toward the University of Colorado Denver CityCenter for research. 301: Making it harder to build on the Park Hill Golf Course. This one would changes the city’s laws so it no longer has the final say in lifting conservation easements, which would directly impact the Park Hill Golf Course. 302: Excepting Park Hill Golf Course from Initiated Ordinance 301.
