Diana DeGette and other lawmakers grill oil executives

Fort Lupton City Council, acting as the city’s marijuana licensing authority, approved three retail business licenses by unanimous vote April 5. The three are 1310 Factory Circle, High Plainz Strains, 1330 Factory Circle, and Carretera Ocho Cinco, dba Highway 85 Cannabis, 7853 U.S. Highway 85. All three license votes were unanimous. Mayor Zo Stieber had concerns about safety and security plans for Carretera Ocho Cinco’s establishment. “We went to great lengths not to allow this type of business near a park,” she said. “I don’t think I saw a detailed security plan.” Daniel Balderas, one of the controlling beneficial owners, said the security plan was submitted with the application. Stieber said it wasn’t as detailed as the others. “What I saw in the others was more in-depth,” she said.

Stieber also asked about a single-family home on the property. Balderas and his wife own it. They have no children, but Balderas said young members of his extended family come for visits. Stieber didn’t like the presented optics from that situation, nor did she like the business’ proximity to a nearby park. “I’d like to see you upgrade your property,” Stieber said. “I’d like to see a barrier so that kids can’t see the building. I wouldn’t like them to see the building or the traffic. Is that possible? “Yes,” Balderas answered. With help from city attorney Andy Ausmus, council agreed on five conditions for the three applicants. They covered such things as possession of the building, acquisition of necessary permits, site inspections, security inspections and, if necessary, additional background information, such as financing. All three businesses passed those requirements.

Year-Around Clinics Open for Testing as STIs increase BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Weld County will be ramping up testing for sexually transmitted diseases in April, with test sites in Longmont and Greeley. According to a press release from the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment, sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) continue to be on the rise every year in Weld County, across Colorado and the United States. Weld County is offering a fullservice STI clinic open year-round but will be conducting an outreach program for STI Awareness Month. The outreach clinics provide exams, testing, and treatment for all STIs, including HIV, for men and women.

The outreach clinics will offer on-site testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis at no charge from 7 a.m. to noon on April 16. Tests will be offered as part of the 9Heath Fair at the University of Northern Colorado, University Center 2101 10th Avenue in Greeley. “This event is a great opportunity for young people to get answers to their health questions in a perhaps more comfortable setting,” said Annette Odell, WCDPHE Family Planning/STI Coordinator. Weld County reported chlamydia cases increased from 1,330 in 2020 to 1,417 in 2021; reported gonorrhea cases increased from 409 in 2020 to 435 in 2021; and reported syphilis cases in all stages increased from 39 in 2020 to 50 in 2021, according to

the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. With the increase in STIs, public health professionals recommend several ways to protect yourself and your partner if sexually active. Talk honestly and openly with your partner about reducing the risk of STIs. “Talking about STIs with your partner can be difficult, but it’s key to staying healthy. These conversations could even bring you closer together,” Odell said. Because numerous STIs don’t have symptoms, get tested regularly, and always use a condom or don’t have sex. All STI’s treatable, and most are curable according to WCDPHE. At the STI clinic, tests are quick and usually painless; all services are confidential, and no parental

consent is required. Fees at the clinic are on a sliding fee scale, and in some cases, you may qualify for a zero payment. Health First Colorado Medicaid is accepted. Clinic locations are: Greeley Clinic: 1555 North 17th Ave., Greeley 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday - Friday Phone: (970) 304-6420 Longmont Clinic: 4209 County Road 24 1/2, Longmont Wednesdays only 8 a.m.-4: p.m. Phone: (720) 652-4238 To make an appointment, call 970304-6420, or for more information about the STI clinic, visit: https:// www.weldgov.com/Government/ Departments/Health-and-Environment/Clinical-and-CommunityHealth/Sexual-Health/STI-Clinic.

Weld County Educates Citizens on Fair Housing Rights BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The phase ARPA-A will distribute $458,407 for pandemic-related needs. Organizations that had applied for EFSP before and received funding can still apply. The deadline for application is the end of the day, Monday, April 25, 2022.

al Fair Housing Law. In 1969 President Lyndon B. Johnson passed a law that forbids discrimination against any individual from selling, renting, or financing a home based on race, color, religion, gender, disability, familial status, or national origin. In addition, Colorado law includes non-discrimination categories such as marital status, ancestry,

and creed. For more information on fair housing and best practice, visit the Weld County Governments Facebook and Twitter page throughout April. Also, visit the Weld County CDBG program at: https://www. weldgov.com/Government/CountyPrograms/Community-Development-Block-Grant

distributed. The funds may be used to serve populations in need of food, mass shelter, temporary shelter, and supplies. In addition, rent, mortgage, and utility assistance are also available for people that can’t make those payments. The funds can only be used for existing food and shelter services and may not be used as seed money for new programs. The EFSP program was established in 1983 to help organizations with supplemental funds to provide emergency food and shelter to help people in need. Its program is under the authority of the EFSP national board and is administered by the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA. It is composed of representatives from the Red Cross, Catholic Charities USA, the Jewish Federation of North America, the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA, the Salvation Army, and the United Way Worldwide.

More than 2,500 communities across the United States have received help from over 14,000 human service agencies. For over 39-years

local United Ways have helped facilitate the distribution of EFSP funds of $5.0 billion to these agencies, “according to officials.

Fort Lupton eyes more water options BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s not a secret that Fort Lupton is ,growing. More houses are under consstruction or on target for development in several sections of town, including areas west of the Platte River. Enter the Todd Creek Village Metropolitan District in Brighton and its general manager, Don Summers. It serves a bit more than 2,000 dresidential and business accounts that cover about 13,000 acres, according to its website. During a March 29 town hall with Fort Lupton City Council,

Summers said his district has “a huge reservoir.” “There aren’t a lot of your neighbors that have a good supply of water,” he told Fort Lupton City Council during a town hall March 29. “For something our size, we have more water than some of these others. We have enough in reserve for 2 ½ years. That’s not normal for most cities that have to go down the path of junior water rights.” The age of a city determines its rights to water from streams and/or underground aquifers. The older the city, the more senior the water rights. “There is an amazing portfolio of

water sources,” Mayor Zo Stieber said. “AS we grow, we’ll need more water.” Summers told council his district and city staff talked about several approaches for supplying water to Fort Lupton. The two entities and the city of Brighton signed an intergovernmental agreement in 2019 to take care of growth and planning areas. Summers said the metro district and the town of Bennett entered into an IGA for water needs. “We are still committed to doing work with you, even if there is a formal exit,” Summers said. “We handle the water side. We think the most

efficient way to use water is to retreat it. We’re talking with a number of entities for a regional water deal. We are ready to work with you however you and staff direct.” Because of the meeting’s format, council did not make a decision. “Our plant worries more about the pressure to get the water here,” Summers said. “We have the capacity. We’re aware that you are on the edge of another district service area. We would never put Fort Lupton in the position of disagreeing between two districts. We can be of help to you. We would be glad to help.”

Council approves water budget adjustment BY STEVE SMTIH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fort Lupton City Council unanimously approved a reconciliation of the city’s water and wastewater budget during its April 5 meeting. The so-called “rebateable budget” had $334,000 to cover four line items .. repairs, use of propane, removing and transporting solids and wastes and the chemicals used in the water

Samblanet, walked the council through the plans. The library will be 14,500 square feet in size and include community rooms, a children’s garden, collaborative work areas and outdoor seating. City planner Maria Lancto told the council that 70 parking spaces would be available. The entryway is on the south side of the property. Samblanet said funding for the project came from taxes paid to the High Plains Library District. “All of the funding for this new facility comes from a mill levy tax collected by High Plains and then distributed to the library via the intergovernmental agreement between the city/school district and High Plains,” Samblanet said.”I think it’s gorgeous,” Mayor Zo Stieber said. The library will be at 370 Reynolds St. in the Lupton Village subdivision. Samblanet said groundbreaking could take place as early as the end of May. Clean-up day still on Public Works Director Roy Vestal said the city’s annual clean-up day (Saturday, April 30) is still on. He expects to make a final decision on April 12. “I’m optimistic.

and wastewater plant. Jon Mays, the public safety director for the water and wastewater plant, said he overspent the budget by about $27,000. “We don’t add any interest to the money,” Mays told council. “It’s directly passed through to the city.” Mays was on the virtual call from a darkened room in his house. “Should we throw a little extra money your way for some lights?”

joked Mayor Zo Stieber.

he told the council during its April 5 business meeting. “From what I’ve been watching about COVID stats, we’re in good shape.” The clean-up day allows city residents to get rid of large items that

local trash services can’t take. The city can take “pick-up truck-sized” loads for the elderly and disabled. To sign up for those pickups, call 303-857-6694 before Tuesday, April 26.

Other business * Council approved two ordinances to annex and rezone the Hagler Annexation, four parcels of land totaling 24 acres near Weld County roads 22 and 19. The applicants, Lee and Mandi Hagler, proposed a three-part development of more than 500 storage pods with a secured fence. The site will be

open during daylight hours. Council also ratified the appointment of James Ripka to the senior citizen advisory board. His term expires Dec. 31, 2023. Council also adopted a resolution changing its business meeting times to 6 p.m. the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The first meeting at the new time will be Tuesday, April 19.

Wedding bells Stieber announced her marriage at the close of the council’s meeting. “I remarried my husband because he’s the only one for me,” she said.

Will your money last as long as you do? All of us hope for long, healthy lives – but we don’t want to outlive our money. How can you prevent this? For starters, use your health and family history to estimate your longevity. Once you have a number, you can determine about how much money you’ll need, given your spending needs in retirement. Next, don’t overlook health care costs in retirement – they can be considerable, and you’ll want to plan for them. And while you’re still working, contribute as much as you can to your IRA and 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. You may also want to invest in vehicles that can provide a guaranteed lifetime income stream. Finally, once you are retired and you start taking money out of your investment accounts, try to establish a sustainable withdrawal rate based on your level of assets, age and retirement lifestyle. A financial advisor can help you determine an appropriate rate. Clearly, it will take planning and determination to help ensure you don’t run out of money – but it’s worth the effort.

VOICES Know the process, solve the problem

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

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

WINNING WORDS

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

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

Our citizens are experiencing dangerously smoky skies, increased fire risk, and water shortages. There are many sources of carbon emissions in Colorado. One we can remedy is methane pollution from abandoned, dormant, and low-producing oil and gas wells. Adams County has the dubious distinction of having the most abandoned and orphaned wells and well sites of any county in the state. Orphaned wells that irresponsible operators have simply walked away from, and where ownership is unknown, burden

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

of planet-warming emissions. If not plugged, they contribute methane and other toxic chemicals to our air, water, and soil. Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gasses — over twenty-five times stronger than carbon dioxide —and therefore has an outsized influence on our warming climate. The new rules come not a moment too soon. Currently, there are between 820 and 860 orphaned wells in Colorado and another 20,000 or more low-producing or “zombie” wells. The wells, and the associated wellsites with their abandoned production facilities, tanks, equipment and flowlines, together contribute dangerously and unnecessarily to climate change. With cleaner energy technologies, improved conservation measures, and increases in electric vehicle availability, we can expect declines in oil and gas demand in the near future. Along with that shift, we can anticipate an increase in orphan wells. We appreciate that the COGCC has set up a long-term plan that incentivizes the oil and gas industry to properly plug wells through

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

Brighton agrees to Bird Scooters Staff to begin mapping areas where electric rentable scooters can scoot BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

bikers, and when I was talking to them about this they were not very happy about it,” Pawlowski said. She said they bike in places where there must share trails with the scooters. “But they pass them and don’t yell out right or left when they pass and they scare bicyclists to death,” she said. Woodruff said the scooter drivers would be expected to keep the the right around bicycles and to yield the right of way. “But that said, it is a little hard to govern rider or driver behavior in the ordinance,” Woodruff said. “the company generally does a decent job of educating riders, but you are always going to have those out there, just like an automobile, that fail to obey the law.” City Councilors first discussed the idea at their March 8 meeting, with most agreeing that the scoot-

ers could be welcome on Brighton’s streets. Bird provides two-wheeled electric scooters people can rent for $1 or more per minute via an app on their smartphones, and the company estimates the average ride costs about $5. The scooters can reach speeds of up to 15 miles per hour and about 30 miles — roughly two days’ worth of service — on a standard electrical charge. Each scooter is equipped with brakes, front and rear LED lights and each weighs about 45 pounds. Riders activate the scooters via an app on their phone and then can use them to ride as long as they choose. When they are done, they park the scooters, take a picture with the app on their phone and leave the scooters. The vehicle then waits for the next rider or is moved, recharged or repaired by Bird’s designated Fleet Managers. Bird current offers its services in Denver, Aurora, Littleton and Arvada in the Metro Denver area. It offered its services in Fort Collins until last spring, when the city brought in a different e-bike and e-scooter program called Spin. The company will likely deploy between 100 and 150 bird scooters in neighborhoods the city would approve, providing two local employees to keep track of the fleet. The company’s plan call for having Brighton online with the scooters by July. Brighton rules The City will develop zones

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

CHSAA Legislative Council meets April 22 BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

AURORA -- The decision-making arm of the Colorado High School Activities Association conducts its annual business meeting at 9 a.m. Thursday, April 21, at the Hyatt Regency Aurora-Denver Conference Center, 13200 E. 14th Place. One agenda item, if approved, would allow coaches in all sports to have Sunday contact with players who have used up their eligibility. The agenda notes cite an example of a coach being able to coach her senior player on a Sunday club tournament. The Jeffco Leagues say the main benefit is for high-school seniors and because a number of coaches are leaving CHSAA schools because of the existing Sunday nocontact rule. The Jeffco Leagues think this may help keep “highquality” coaches, according to the packet. Another item deals with a longstanding issue in CHSAA, transfers. The proposal from the Denver and Foothills leagues would change the ineligibility period from 365 days from date of transfer to the first half of a particular sports season. Those in favor think it’s a compromise for students who transfer during high school. Those opposed say the proposal is not as strong as the present 365-day rule. A transfer-related item deals

with the reasons to switch schools. The suggested change would put the burden of proof – “clear and convincing evidence, says the agenda packet” that the transfer has nothing to do with varsity playing time or athletics. The present rule says students who want to transfer have to provide that athletic participation was “no more than an incidental consideration.” The CHSAA board, which put this item on the agenda, said this suggestion puts the burden of proof on parents, not school athletic directors. There are no opposition comments in the agenda packet. There is a proposal to return to two legislative council meetings per year. CHSAA’s board of directors, the Jeffco Leagues and the Mile High League cite extra layers of communication and transparency for CHSAA member schools. No one was in opposition, according to the agenda. The projected cost is about $30,000 for hotel accommodations, meals and mileage for in-person meetings. By CHSAA’s board also is proposing to move up so-called regain dates, dates when ineligible athletes can resume participation, by up to three weeks, depending on the sport or activity. The reason behind CHSAA’s board recommendation is to even out the number of ineligible weeks between sports. Not all teams play the same number of games and/or tournaments.

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

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

Helped when someone in need Former Commissioner Bob Ottewill hired Robinson, who was the first African-American administrator in the association’s history. During his time at CHSAA, Robinson was in charge of the officials and was the first administrator to assign a female official to work a boys basketball final four contest, according to CHSAANow.com. He also was in charge of CHSAA’s sportsmanship program plus boys and girls golf. Eagle Ridge Academy athletic director Zach Henning said Robinson was willing to help when someone was in need. “When I first started as an athletic director, Tom was always present in our league meetings and would present himself with a smile and kind attitude,” Henning said. “His knowledge of sports and CHSAA bylaws was second to nine. He was someone I could always lean on to give me a straight and honest answer and trust that he had CHSAA’s and my school’s best interests at heart.” The CHSAANow statement said Robinson “was an institution and a role model at the association and was widely respected throughout the entire membership for his exceptional passion and integrity.” “Tom was an inspiration in so many ways,” CHSAA assistant commissioner Bethany Brookens said in the statement. “He taught me how to play golf, he and Cleo taught us all how to have a wonderful and successful marriage, he taught me the officials’ mechanics for basketball and he gave me loyal friendship and a respect for all people. An incredible, ethical, good man and mentor; I miss Tom greatly already.” Inspirational Robinson graduated from Regis Jesuit High School before attending Colorado State University, where he competed in football, basketball and track and field. He began officiating in 1969, the same year he started his teaching career at Regis. He taught math and coached several sports for 31 years before joining CHSAA in 2001. Robinson also served time as the president of the National Association of Sports Officials and was the replay coordinator of the Big-

Outgoing CHSAA Associate Commissioner Tom Robinson

12 Conference. “He was an advocate for officials around the state of Colorado and always pushed athletic directors to remember the third party of any game, the officials,” Henning said. “He also helped usher in further advances in sportsmanship throughout all athletics and activities in the state.” “Even from the outside looking in, Tom was definitely a person to aspire to be,” said Rashaan Davis, CHSAA’s first-ever assistant commissioner overseeing activities., in the statement “He always seemed cool, calm and collected, which is something I know I needed. So, to be a staff member now and understand that Tom laid the foundation for me being a black male working at CHSAA and to be an educator coming into this role, to be patient and recognizing all voices at this level is very powerful. I don’t think anybody

did it better. “It feels like standing on the shoulders of a giant and hopefully the work we all do will continue his legacy.” Survivors include his wife, Cleo Parker-Robinson, founder and director of Cleo Parker-Robinson Dance, and his son, Malik Robinson, executive director of Cleo Parker-Robinson Dance. “Tom was a true icon at the CHSAA office and will be deeply missed,” Gordon said. “CHSAA and all the Colorado high schools are better to have known Tom Robinson,” Henning said. “Our community lost a pioneer, a statesman and an amazing administrator.” “Throughout his life, whether as an official, teacher, CHSAA colleague, he mentored so many people making them better people,” Borgmann said. “I will miss him greatly.”

Brighton could consider public safety committee BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton could create a public committee to monitor the Brighton Police in the wake of a deadly October police chase. Councilors agreed at their April 5 meeting to discuss creating public safety committee. “We just want to make sure we have a good discussion about public safety and gather those best practices we can apply in our community,” Mayor Greg Mills said. “I know there is an active case out there that is questioning some practices involving our police.” Nicholas Villarini, 27, faces two counts of first-degree murder for his involvement in an October police chase that began in the late morning near Gaviota and Goldfinch streets. Police were responding to reports of a suspicious vehicle and discovered the vehicle had been stolen. Villarini allegedly rammed a police vehicle and then fled the scene with Brighton officers in pursuit. It came to an end two minutes later. The stolen vehicle ran a stop sign at Bridge and Mount Bierstadt streets when the stolen car ran a stop sign and struck another car. The stolen

car continued on Mount Bierstadt Street, and the driver lost control of the car and struck a male pedestrian, police said. A female passenger in the victim’s car was thrown clear and was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, according to the police statement. This male pedestrian was also transported to the hospital in critical condition. Both victims died at an area hospital, police said. The Brighton officer involved in the chase was later fired. Mills said that councilors could not discuss the specific matter, which is still under investigation. “But we can find ways to move forward and see how we can be a better community and be better steward to support our police,” Mills said. City Councilor Jan Pawlowski noted that Brighton had a public safety committee at one time and it might be a good idea to bring it back. “Maybe a broad spectrum of brains could sit down and spell out the right steps to take whenever there are situations,” Pawlowski said. She said such a committee must have limits, however. “The one thing I don’t want is at

all is for our city, for everyone to say ‘Come do what you want. Come steal all you want, because Brighton won’t do a thing about it,’” she said. “I do not want that out there.” Councilor Matt Johnston said he has no doubt that the Brighton Police leadership acted correctly in the matter or that the department itself is good. “We have the best police department in the metro area and that is not as known as it needs to be,” Johnston said. He noted that there are criminals in Brighton and that the city — and police — must respond. “The big problems that have happened and the tragedies that have happened, we can begin to end them today,” Johnston said. He said it’s important to have staff, the public and councilors involved in keeping public safety in Brighton moving forward. “I think the best thing we can do moving forward is to sit down and go ‘What does this committee consist of’ and create this committee,” he said. “We can have that committee look at things and bring them to council.” Not everyone agreed. Councilor Mary Ellen Pollack said public

safety is not something that can be covered by any public policy. “Yes, it’s sad that these accidents happen,” Pollack said. “Officer was trying to do his job, which is to protect the public. And the accident happened, which is sad, but it was not caused by him.” She said she is tired of people blaming police officers when bad things happen. “Quit looking for ways to come after them, ‘cuz you don’t have me on your side,” Pollack said. “We need to figure out a different way to help them. Maybe we can add some more officers.” Councilor Clint Blackhurst, a former city police officer, said he’s not in favor of having a citizen makes no sense to him. “If we have a problem in police administration, then we need different administrators,” Blackhurst said. “But any time you have a police department in this day and age, the better communication and the more open communication you have with the public, the better. If this could facilitate that, I’m all for it.” City Manager Michael Martinez said staff would likely bring the matter back to a City Council study session for more discussion in May.

nearly 60 percent of oil companies are restraining growth because of investor pressure.” The oil executives did acknowledge that their companies earned billions last year, after losing billions in 2020 when the pandemic tanked demand. And many of the CEOs said they would not stop paying stock dividends or pursuing buybacks this year. They also pushed back on the accusation of price gouging, noting many of the companies did not own the gas stations. “I want to be absolutely clear: We do not control the market price of crude oil or natural gas, nor of refined products like gasoline and diesel fuel, and we have no tolerance for price gouging,” Wirth said during his opening remarks. Meanwhile, Republicans try to take advantage of what they see as midterm elections talking point Republicans dismissed this line of questioning from Democrats. Ranking member Rep. Morgan Griffith used part of his time to ask if oil companies were taking advantage of the situation in Ukraine to keep prices artificially high. The oil executives all said no. Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Cathy McMorris Rodgers described the hearing as “a distraction.” “Today is purely political. President Biden needs cover for his war on American energy,” she said in her opening statement. Republicans also see a political advantage in energy prices, believing

We will help resolve any conflicts, deescalate the situation and help pay to rescue their renovation, as well as providing labor, services and materials to enit’s an issue that could hurt Democrats entering the midterm elections. They used their time to talk about the Biden Administration’s moratorium on new drilling leases on federal lands and regulations they claim impede production. “Does this whole mountain of red tape by President [Biden] make it harder for you to produce more energy in America?” Rep. Steve Scalise asked. Most of the oil executives said yes. Republicans also criticized Democrats’ focus on expanding America’s supply of green energy, arguing it has resulted in less investment in fossil fuel production. DeGette said this debate around more drilling and more lease sales indicates to her that the country needs a long-term energy plan. “The things that Republicans were suggesting — more permitting, more pipelines, “drill, baby drill” — the executives told me when I talked to them before the hearing today, there is no switch to flip. It’s not like any of those things would help us get more supply today,” she said. She said the people who could were the executives testifying and they “refused to say what they would do.” Executives maintain that gas prices are complex, but DeGette argues they could take a cut in profits to reduce prices If there was a theme that the oil executives tried to emphasize — when they got a chance to answer more than a yes or no during the questioning — it was that gas pricing is complex. “Demand has recovered and is now surpassing pre-pandemic levels for many transportation fuels,” Chevron President Gretchen Wat-

kins noted in her written testimony. “But refinery throughput has not yet caught up with the post-pandemic surge in demand. The loss of Russian supply from the global market has only added pressure on an already strained refining industry that has yet to fully catch up with increasing demand.” There have been a number of proposals on both sides of the aisle floated to help reduce the price of oil, from a windfall tax for these producers to a gas tax holiday to easing the regulatory burden.

DeGette asked the executives to go back to their boards and see what they could do to reduce prices at the pumps now, even if it meant a smaller profit for them. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said last week that her caucus wanted to wait and hear what the oil executives had to say before moving forward on any legislation.

Colorado business leaders lose optimism about economy BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

No surprise here. Global unrest with the Russian invasion of Ukraine plus ongoing and rising inflation have Colorado business leaders less optimistic about the economy this year than last, according to a new survey. But has that changed how they’re going about their business? According to a new analysis by Leeds Business Confidence Index, 55% of the 195 local business leaders surveyed said they expect to raise wages while just 8% plan to reduce staff and 1% plan to cut hours. Nearly half, or 46%, will increase prices or pass costs to consumers because of inflation. “They’re pessimistic about the (economic) backdrop,” said Rich Wobbekind, senior economist and faculty director of the Leeds Business Research Division at the University of Colorado. “But in their own responses, they’re saying in the next three and six months, we’re going to hire more people, we’re going to invest in more capital. So, they’re still in expansion mode even though they’re concerned about the broader economy.” Inflation in Colorado, by the way, is projected to increase 7.3% this year and slow to 2.8% next year. The index measures business leaders’ optimism and above 50 is considered positive. And while most categories are still above 50, including how leaders feel about

Colorado’s economy, concerns with global events and inflation caused the Leeds index to fall to 40.4 for the national economy for second quarter 2022. Brian Lewandowski, the division’s executive director, said that business leaders tend to be more optimistic about the state’s economy than the nation’s. It’s because they live here and work here, so what’s happening outside the state isn’t as tangible. “The one thing I would add,” he said, is “the expectation of inflation is almost as bad as actual inflation. And I sort of wonder if the same is true when looking at business confidence. So, it’s still positive right now, which is a good signal. But if business leaders signal pessimism about the future, if they expect the future to be worse than it is today, then that could have impacts on how they invest and how they hire and how they try and expand their business. So that’s a concern when it drops below 50.” Hotels had highest rate of quitters Colorado workers may finally be finding the jobs they want — or at least employers are doing their best to retain them — as the national rate of job quitters fell in March and leveled off in Colorado, according to new data from Gusto, a payroll and benefits services company with coheadquarters in Denver. Colorado’s quit rate in March was at 3.01%, down from 3.03% in February, and nearly half the August high

of 5.04%. The national average was 2.85% in March, down from 3.09% in February and 4.94% in August. But something else is going on in accommodations, which is essentially the hotel industry. That part of the economy had a 10% quit rate in March, according to Gusto, which can analyze its own customer data to see trends before the national report comes out. Other service industries — including retail and food and beverage — also saw rates higher than Colorado’s overall quit rate of 3.01%, and the U.S. rate of 2.85%. Gusto’s lead economist Luke Pardue theorizes this type of worker can find another job pretty easily these days. Companies from Amazon to United Airlines are all looking for workers who, at minimum, are pleasant to customers and show up on time. “These industries where we’re seeing the highest quit rates, we’re also seeing the highest hiring rates,” Pardue said. “This is a sign that workers are really switching jobs within industries for higher pay, for better conditions or better benefits.” However, he added, “A 10% quit rate in accommodations is not something we have seen (since) quit rates hit 10% in August of 2021, as many workers left seasonal positions as the summer ended. Also, a 10% quit rate is not something we have seen in other sub sectors recently.” As hotels prepare for warmer weather and more visitors, they are again competing with one another

as well as the rest of the hospitality, travel and restaurant industries that are also ramping up for what they’re hoping to be a more fortuitous season. The cost of benefits Scanning the help-wanted ads, it’s difficult to find hotel work without some sort of incentive beyond a paycheck. The Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel offers a $1,000 sign-on bonus to experienced cooks (the gig pays $22 an hour and includes health and retirement plans). Springhill Suites in Denver offered medical and retirement benefits, an RTD pass and a $750 hiring bonus for a room attendant (though that job appears to be filled). The key here may be to offer benefits in the first place. And they might not be as much as an employer assumes. According to Gallup polling data, replacing a worker costs one half to twice the ex-worker’s salary. Pardue calculated the cost of replacing versus offering retirement benefits, based on Gusto and Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Retirement benefits reduced quit rates by 1.3 percentage points, or 15.6% for 12 months. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.
