RESOLUTION NO. 2022R032
A RESOLUTION OF THE FORT LUPTON UTILITY ENTERPRISE BOARD APPROVING WATER USE RESTRICTIONS FOR 2022 EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 2022
WHEREAS, Colorado and the Front Range region has been in the grip of a severe drought for the past several years, requiring water conservation and other measures; and
WHEREAS, Fort Lupton was included in that drought area and may experience reduction or other limitations in its water supplies; and
WHEREAS, certain measures are necessitated to protect the community’s water supplies due to the drought.
WHEREAS, due to heat and other natural processes, outdoor watering during the day evaporates much faster than watering during the evening thus requiring more water to accomplish the same task; and
WHEREAS, the Fort Lupton Municipal Code requires publication in the newspaper prior to the effective date of the restriction and such notice shall be published; and
WHEREAS, there is the need to implement exemptions which include watering with nonpotable water systems, Commercial Car Wash(s) and newly installed lawns.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Fort Lupton Utility Enterprise Board approves the 2022 water restrictions as defined in Exhibit “A”.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED BY THE FORT LUPTON CITY COUNCIL THIS 3rd DAY OF MAY, 2022.

Polis wants to speed up the approval timeline
BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN
In his practice as a pediatrician, Dr. Sean O’Leary gets a lot of calls from worried parents. And, lately, one kind of call has begun to stand out.
“The parents I hear from are the ones who are reaching out to me desperately because they want their kids to have a COVID vaccine,” he said.
O’Leary is an infectious disease specialist at Children’s Hospital Colorado and also a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. But he is perhaps best known as an international expert on childhood immunization, a role that sees him involved in an advisory capacity with the federal vaccine approval process.
So parents call him, thinking he may have some inside knowledge on when vaccines will be available for the only age group not yet eligible for vaccination against COVID-19: Kids under the age of 5.
It’s been a long wait for Colorado’s youngest residents to get a vaccine — now 26 months into the pandemic and 17 months since the fi rst adults began receiving COVID vaccines. But plenty of signs are fi nally starting to signal a change.
“The good news is that we will almost certainly have at least one vaccine and maybe two ready pretty soon here,” O’Leary said.
The bad news: There’s probably still a couple more months of waiting.
The long road to a vaccine for young kids
Two companies are aiming for approval of vaccines for children under the age of 5: Moderna and Pfi zer. Both companies are using reduced-dosage versions of their adult COVID vaccines. And both are expected to soon come up for federal approval.
Moderna last week formally asked the federal government to approve its two-dose vaccine for kids ages 6 months through 5 years. The Food and Drug Administration set dates in June to discuss the request.
Those meetings could potentially also see discussion about the Pfi zer vaccine, O’Leary said. The company is expected soon to announce the results of testing on a third dose of its vaccine for kids 6 months through 4 years. (Pfi zer’s vaccine already has approval for everyone ages 5 and up, while Moderna’s is approved only for adults, ages 18 and older.)
But it hasn’t been an easy road to get to this point.
Pfi zer earlier this year released data on a two-dose regimen of its vaccine for young kids and subsequently requested federal approval. But, while the numbers looked good for kids in the 6 months to 2 years age range, they were underwhelming for kids older than that, and the federal government opted to hold off until the results of Pfi zer’s tests on a third dose came in.
“It’s not something you would want to rush without having all the data,” O’Leary said.
Mounting frustration among some parents
While caution is appreciated, it hasn’t been enough to stave off rising frustration among some parents — including the state’s most powerful parent, Gov. Jared Polis.
Late last month, Polis — whose children are old enough to be vaccinated — sent a letter to President Joe Biden urging him to speed up approval for COVID vaccines for kids under age 5. Polis wrote in the letter that it is “immoral to wait any longer” on approving the Pfi zer vaccine for children ages 6 months to 2 years and he urged Biden not to wait to approve the Pfi zer and Moderna vaccines together.
Polis wrote that federal regulators should approve the vaccine applications “as soon as they are ready and the data is suffi cient.”
“Colorado parents have been told, over and over again, that COVID-19 vaccines are on the horizon for their children,” Polis wrote. “They deserve the choice of vaccinating their children and peace of mind. The lack of transparency and opaque communication from vaccine manufacturers and the FDA is eroding trust.”
O’Leary said he understands the frustration.
“I wish we had a vaccine for these kids six months ago,” he said.
Why is it taking so long?
To O’Leary, the lengthy timeline for approval isn’t really a surprise.
He said it’s entirely normal for regulators to need several weeks to review data on vaccine safety and effi cacy, especially when it is a “rolling submission” like what Moderna is doing, meaning data are submitted over time instead of all at once. And pediatric vaccines are always subject to extra scrutiny because regulators want to be especially sure they are safe.
In his letter, Polis expressed concerns about federal regulators waiting until they have data from both Pfi zer and Moderna before they make a decision. But O’Leary said he doesn’t think that’s what’s happening. Rather, he said it appears it’s just going to work out that both will be ready to review at the same time.
It also makes sense to review the two vaccines together, if possible, O’Leary said. What if one works better than another for this age group? Wouldn’t you want that to be part of the federal government’s recommendations?
“Honestly I don’t see it particularly as a delay,” he said.
It’s also important to keep this frustration in perspective.
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation’s most recent poll on parents’ attitudes toward vaccination, only 18% of parents of kids under 5 intend to get their children vaccinated as soon as they possibly can. A far bigger chunk — 38% — say they want to wait and see. And another 38% say they either won’t vaccinate their young kids or will only do so if required.
O’Leary believes it is important that young kids get vaccinated against COVID — they can suffer serious consequences from a coronavirus infection. But he said the delay in approving the vaccines likely doesn’t come at a very high cost to children.
Statistically, kids under 5 are the least likely to get seriously ill or be hospitalized if infected. O’Leary put the risk on par with other daily activities that also carry some potential for peril, like riding in a car at the risk of an accident.
“The risk to young kids for hospitalization from COVID is in line with some of the infectious diseases we’ve dealt with for decades, like fl u or RSV,” he said.
Recalibrating expectations for effi cacy
When the federal government does approve the vaccines for young children and releases all the clinical trial data, O’Leary said parents will need to adjust their focus and expectations.
The headline-grabbing numbers when vaccines were approved for adults were for effi cacy — 90%+ protection from symptomatic COVID. But effi cacy at preventing infection has lagged in kids under 5 for both Moderna’s and Pfi zer’s vaccines. Moderna’s vaccine, for instance, was only about 50% effective at preventing infection in kids 6 months to 2 years, and only 37% effective in kids 2 through 5.
The vaccines were tested against different versions of the virus, though, O’Leary said. The vaccines for adults were formulated and tested during waves of the original COVID variants, while the vaccines for kids were tested during the days of omicron, which is better at causing breakthrough infections. In a news release, Moderna said its pediatric effi cacy rates were on par with the protection its vaccine provided adults against omicron.
O’Leary also said effi cacy against infection doesn’t matter as much now as it once did.
“We want to be thinking about what is the protection against severe outcomes,” he said.
Moderna reported no hospitalizations for COVID among children in its clinical trial.
Watching out for rare side effects
No major side effects have been reported so far from the clinical trials in young kids — about the most serious issue reported was a temporary fever. But the trials have been small, at least compared to the studies for the adult vaccines, which enrolled tens of thousands of participants.
O’Leary said it’s unlikely that there is a signifi cant unknown side effect out there lurking just for small children. Hundreds of millions of doses of the Pfi zer and Moderna vaccines have now been administered across the globe.
One concerning rare side effect seen in older kids and young adults, a heart condition called myocarditis, is not likely to be as prevalent in young kids, O’Leary said. Cases of myocarditis following COVID vaccination have generally tracked with the overall population curve of myocarditis cases — the condition is most common in teens and young adults, in general.
But he stressed that the nation’s vaccine monitoring system is in place to catch and address any unexpected effects.
“We have a pretty good idea of the side effect profi le,” O’Leary said. “It would be surprising if we were to discover something different in these kids.”
