As Tri-County Health disbands, counties take different approaches Price tags to go solo will vary BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The embattled Tri-County Health Department lists 10 staff members as its

“executive team,” a collection of leaders that oversee priorities like emergency preparedness, disease surveillance and environmental health. Arapahoe County has scooped up six of those leaders — plus Tri-County’s former director of nursing — to work for its upcoming

single-county health department as Tri-County prepares to dissolve at the end of this year. Adams County will absorb one of those 10 leaders, plus Tri-County’s former policy expert. Douglas County has not hired any of those key TriCounty staff members. Dr. John Douglas, head

Judge rules against resident who sued over Aspen Grove election Lawsuit called for vote before Nov. 8 BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An Arapahoe County District Court judge has ruled against a Littleton resident who sued the city for not holding an election sooner on what could be one of the most contentious issues on voters’ ballots this November. At the heart of the lawsuit was an effort to call a special election on plans to build new housing at the Aspen Grove shopping center in southwest Littleton, a question already set for the Nov. 8 general election. Linda Knufinke — a 23-year resident who opposes the project and who filed the lawsuit in late February — said an election needed to be called sooner in order to comply with state law, though Littleton’s city code and charter exempt it from such requirements. District Court Judge Frederick T. Martinez, in a July 26 ruling, said the

Food truck owner rolls with changes ‘Catering collective’ is latest move by company BY RACHEL LORENZ RLORENZ@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Food Truck Avenue’s biggest problem this year, the Englewoodbased business will be all right, he said. Sevcik, who began operating a macaroni and cheese food truck with his wife, Meghan Sevcik, six years ago, said every year has its challenges but the key to success is a little luck, a lot of hard work and the ability to adjust.

“Be flexible and adapting and constantly learning,” Sevcik told Colorado Community Media. Rather than do the same thing year after year, Sevcik takes an annual look back at what worked well for the business and what didn’t and then determines what to change for the next year. SEE FOOD TRUCKS, P8

Littleton named one of the best places to live Listed in the regular monthly newsletter was information on Littleton being honored as one of the nation’s best — Littleton was named one of the 2022 Top 100 Best Places to Live by Livability.com, outpacing more than 2,300 cities with populations between 20,000 and one million in this data-driven ranking. The 2022 rankings were guided by an exclusive study conducted by Livability.com in partnership with Ipsos. More than 1,000 adults aged 18 and up from across the country were surveyed to determine the characteristics of livability they would value in a prospective home community, emphasizing how rising costs affect their relocation decisions. Respondents were asked which factors would be most heavily considered when choosing to relocate and how their housing needs and priorities have changed due to record-breaking inflation.

Western Welcome Week is on track to start Aug. 12 The annual tradition continues in 2022 with Western Welcome Week being held between Aug. 12 and Aug. 21. All the annual traditions are coming back with the craft show, parade and so much more in the community-wide celebration. Get all the details by visiting the website at westernwelcomeweek.org. Ridgeview park update According to the Littleton newsletter, South Suburban Parks and Recreation is continuing maintenance on Ridgeview Park at Rowland Avenue and South Prince Street. With the continued evaporation of the pond and drop in the water level, weeds were beginning to grow around the top edge of the pond. The top edge is extremely steep so staff used string trimmers, in addition to mowing the surrounding area. The combination of trimming and temperatures in the 90s forced the grass into a dormant stage and turned it brown. Crews have updated the watering schedule to green up that area. Crews will continue to mow and trim that area of the park and pond once a week. Algae in the pond is being treated as well. For questions about the maintenance of the park, call South Suburban Parks and Open Space at 303-953-7629.

Monkeypox vaccine information In a recent post from the TriCounty Health Department, residents are being warned that monkeypox cases are on the rise. WHO has declared Monkeypox an emergency, and it’s important to keep the facts straight: - Monkeypox is acquired through close contact with an infected person, including physical touch or sharing clothing that has come into contact with the infection - Monkeypox CAN be transmitted through respiratory contact, BUT ONLY if the infected person has lesions in their mouth or throat - There is a vaccine for Monkeypox, and it is currently being offered to Coloradans who meet a certain criteria.

Littleton police arrest two in shooting that left 28-year-old dead BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Littleton Police Department said Tuesday it has arrested two suspects believed to be involved with a July 15 shooting that left a 28-year-old dead. Darla Rodriguez, 29, and Adam Vilders, 37, were arrested July 22. They were booked into an Arapahoe County jail on second-degree murder charges.

On July 15, Littleton police responded to a call in the 2700 block of West Riverwalk Circle at around 3:20 a.m. and found a man, later identified as Luke Scott Clayton by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office, who had been shot in the chest. Police said they attempted life-saving measures on Clayton until South Metro Fire Rescue arrived on scene but that Clayton later died from his injuries.

Littleton judge Ethan Feldman to retire in September Council discusses filling vacancy BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Presiding Municipal Judge Ethan Feldman has announced plans to retire by Sept. 30. Littleton City Council met in executive session Aug. 2 to discuss a process to fill Feldman’s vacancy. Feldman has served as judge with the city since early 2013, though his career in Littleton began in 1973.

original members are still involved and would be dancing with her. Gunther also takes Chinese ribbon dancing lessons from instructor Christina Ye and planned to perform her own dance. Before her time in Colorado, Gunther grew up in British Columbia and attended an all-girls boarding schools from age 6 to 12. “I graduated number one in my class, and guess what I won? Four years of another girls school in California, and I wouldn’t take it,” said Gunther. She decided to attend the University of Washington instead for general studies. Gunther spent the summer after

That year marked his first job as he was finishing law school, when he worked as an Arapahoe County prosecutor out of Littleton’s courthouse building, which belonged to the county at that time. Feldman has lived in Littleton since 1977. He Feldman raised a family in Littleton and his children attended Littleton Public Schools. “One of the best aspects of being a judge in Littleton has been the relationship with city council and the city administration,” Feldman

said in a statement. “Every council has been scrupulous in respecting the independence of the court. This has fostered an atmosphere in which the citizens of Littleton have been able to have confidence that they have a just and fair judiciary in their city.” Feldman graduated from Northwestern University in Illinois in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in Russian studies. He went on to earn a law degree from the University of Denver in 1974 and served as deputy district attorney and later as chief deputy district attorney for major crimes in the 18th Judicial District

from 1974 to 1980. From 1980 to 1991, he served in private practice in Littleton and Greenwood Village while also serving as a part-time municipal judge in Glendale. He was appointed to the Arapahoe County Judiciary in 1991 and served for 20 years. Feldman lost his bid for district attorney for 18th Judicial District in 2012 to Republican George Brauchler, a race Feldman said he “knew it was an uphill battle” but one worth the effort to “make sure people had a choice,” according to a 2013 article in the Littleton Independent.

her senior year working in Seattle while living at her sorority house. That’s when she met her first husband, Carl Gunther, who was a navy officer at the time, on a blind date. She followed Carl to Colorado to meet his family, and he proposed to her in the mountains. “Then we came back here and raised our family in Littleton. It was a very nice place to live. And finally, we moved to Highlands Ranch,” she said. After 59 years of marriage, Carl died, and Gunther joined a widows’ club where she met her second husband, Calvin Wilson. “This fellow came up to me and asked if I’d go out with him and I said, ‘No, I don’t know you.’ So, he waited a few months and asked me if I’d go out with him, and I did,” said Gunther. She was married to Wilson for

nine and a half years before he died. Gunther said both of her husbands loved her very much and she was lucky to have two wonderful people take care of her. Gunther has been very involved in the community over the years, founding chapters of Toastmasters in Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock and Parker. “It’s a great organization where you learn to speak,” said Gunther. “I was made president of three clubs at one time, and I thought, ‘Oh my goodness, I need to have some experience talking in front of people,’ so I started Toastmasters.” She taught kindergartners in Denver for a few years, including one year of Spanish. “The next year they said, ‘You have to take the test now to see if you can pass,’ and I said, ‘I don’t think I can pass the

test,’ so I dropped out quick,” said Gunther. Gunther volunteered for AARP for many years, founding two chapters in Colorado. She also competed as a senior pageant queen, winning Miss Senior Colorado in 1998 among others. Now, Gunther attends an aerobics class every Monday and Thursday with her friends and walks her dog and best friend, Toby, every day. She said maintaining good friendships is the most important part of life. “I think to have a good friend, you have to be a good friend,” said Gunther. “I try to be a good friend. I remember everybody’s birthday and do things like that and remember to call them every once in a while. Friendship is the most important thing right now.”

Emergency agency scrutinized BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

State officials are seeking a consultant to evaluate the culture, structure and effectiveness of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, state documents show, days after a Denver Post investigation documented a troubling history of aggressive and inappropriate behavior from one of its directors, Mike Willis. The Colorado Department of Public Safety is looking for a consulting service to gauge employee satisfaction within the state’s division that responds to all types of disasters in Colorado, according to documents posted Monday on the state’s database of vendors. The contractor will conduct “an environmental scan using whatever tool the vendor deems appropriate” to review leadership and employee development opportunities, as well as analyze current organizational structure, including office placement and supervisory lines, according to state documents outlining the project. The state set a June 28 deadline for applications and is asking vendors to complete a report, including recommendations for the division to improve its culture and structure, no later than Dec. 31. It’s unclear how much money the state plans to spend on the review. The request for vendors comes after a scathing Denver Post report about Mike Willis during his five years at the helm of Colorado’s responses to natural and public health disasters. Willis has been suspended twice in the past 18 months for behavior that included intimidating workers, throwing objects in rage and berating female employees, the Post reported. Willis, who was appointed to run the state’s Office of Emergency Management in 2017, was warned

that he would likely be fired “for any similar misconduct” in the future, the newspaper reported. Willis did not immediately return a request for comment. In an email to the Post, Willis called some accounts from his colleagues as “inaccurate,” that he can be “intimidating on occasion” and that he is “passionate about our mission and ensuring those that work, live and play in Colorado are served to the best of our ability.” The controversy surrounding Willis has become a political issue for Gov. Jared Polis as he campaigns for reelection in November. A spokesman for Polis declined to comment on the situation when reached on June 27 by The Colorado Sun. Polis’ Republican opponent, Heidi Ganahl, issued a statement calling for the governor to hold Willis accountable. Colorado GOP Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown blasted Polis for not speaking out. “Coloradans deserve a governor who will fire individuals like this who create unacceptable, hostile work environments,” Burton Brown said in a written statement. “Polis’ lack of leadership in standing up for state employees against this kind of harassment is pathetic.” Willis has been the director of Colorado’s Office of Emergency Management since November 2017, meaning he was hired when former Gov. John Hickenlooper was still in office. Polis became governor in January 2019.

Rocky Mountain National Park making a comeback BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The same few months of 2020 that Colorado crown jewel Rocky Mountain National Park was suffering its worst losses from COVID closures, the whole place also nearly burned down. Now, things are looking up in the original Switzerland of the West. The park’s in-house firefighting crew, which said they’d been prepping for a sparkfest like East Troublesome for 20 years, used a landscaping “catcher’s mitt” to stop the record fire from blazing on into Estes Park in October 2020. Those crews will be following up on that success with new federal grants to bolster firewall efforts on Deer Mountain, which stands sentinel between prime wildfire paths and Estes Park, evacuated as a precaution before East Troublesome smoldered out. And with COVID’s grip loosened from much of the American psyche, the park returned to 4.4 million

visitors last year — not a record, but enough to reinforce a timed-entry system that by some evaluations is going well. Now park folks are ready to brag about some wins, not just some avoided losses. • The Green Mountain Trailhead area on the west side, just north of fire central at Grand Lake, is back open. The before-and-after photos above show some intriguing recovery, though the deeply blackened trunks and trees bent over by firestorm winds will linger for decades. • Over the next year, the park will use $19 million in federal economic recovery money to close, rebuild and reopen Moraine Park Campground, the largest in the park and for many Americans, their childhood memory of family camping. • Nearly $40,000 in federal infrastructure law funds will go to more fire mitigation on Deer Mountain, for brush clearing, tree limbing of SEE PARK, P39

The Mile High Cheesesteak food truck serves hot cheesesteak sandwiches on a snowy Colorado day.

FOOD TRUCKS FROM PAGE 1

That approach has transformed Sevcik’s single food truck into a “catering collective” with half a dozen trucks and 20 employees. In addition to macaroni and cheese dishes, Food Truck Avenue provides burgers, tacos, barbecue and cheesesteak sandwiches as well as charcuterie boards and buffets for public and private events like county fairs, neighborhood parties, corporate gatherings and weddings. “Pretty much all the fun things you go to in the summer,” Sevcik said.

Sevcik originally wanted to own his own restaurant, but found that a truck was a less expensive and more forgiving way to get started in the food and beverage industry. “You get your chances to recreate yourself and to learn from your mistakes,” Sevcik said. Although his trucks attend events from Highlands Ranch to Westminster and everywhere in between, the business’s commissary is in Englewood. In addition to plenty of room to park trucks, the facility has a walk-in refrigerator, a walk-in freezer and a place to store dry goods. There’s a dishwasher but no cooking equipment, of course. “All the magic happens on the

trucks,” Sevcik said. While the cooking always happens on the trucks, the food doesn’t have to be served from them. The company offers traditional drop-off catering for events where a food truck experience just isn’t the right fit. Catering from a truck results in better food because it’s cooked right outside the event, he said. It’s not cooked in a kitchen across town and then transported over. “The food truck offers us a mobile kitchen to make it fresher and make it as soon as people are ready to eat it, rather than sitting in warming racks for two hours,” Sevcik said. Branching out with catering is one of the ways the business has adapted

over time. While not initially part of the plan back in 2016, catering now accounts for about 60% of the business, Sevcik said. Over time, who Sevcik has partnered with has changed as well. In 2016, he worked a lot with breweries. The next year, he added in a few gatherings hosted by neighborhood associations and found that the business does well when it can get out to large, diverse crowds. Now his food trucks are much more likely to be at city, school or church events, he said. “You got to be fluid. You can’t be stuck in your ways,” Sevcik said. “For us, it’s adapting. We adapt to what’s going on.”

Developer strikes deal with historic society to protect century-old barn Looming development put structure in jeopardy BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An effort to save a century-old barn on one of Littleton’s last remaining parcels of undeveloped land proved successful after a developer agreed to protect the structure, which had been previously eyed for demolition. Gail Keeley, president of the nonprofit Historic Littleton Inc., struck a deal with Toll Brothers, the nation’s fifth-largest home builder, to move the barn away from development planned for the 77-acre site it sits on, which is just south of Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue. The agreement came July 20, according to Keeley, who said it represents a win for one of the “few remaining structures that show evidence of Littleton’s agricultural history.” Built in 1918, the barn features a unique “bank barn” design that provides ground access to both the upper and lower levels of the structure. “The architectural style of a bank barn is exceedingly rare, especially in an urban area,” Keeley said. “The fact that one has survived for 100 years, especially in an urban area, is pretty phenomenal.” The site was determined eligible by the Colorado Department of Transportation for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places during a 2004 survey, though no steps were ever taken to claim designation, Keeley said. The nonprofit had been pushing for a historical designation for the barn, filing an application with the

city in April to do so. But its conditions are poor, according to Toll Brothers, which is forging ahead with plans to redevelop the site and surrounding area with hundreds of homes and more than 30,000 square feet of commercial space. The developer secured a sale of the parcel of land that contains the barn June 15, according to Mike Sutherland, deputy director for community development. Among the findings of an independent reviewer hired by Toll Brothers, which were presented to the city’s Historical Preservation Board during a study session April 21, were that the barn’s roof is incapable of supporting snow and that the site is “neither safe for occupation

nor moving to a new location.” The developers’ remedy was to demolish the barn and, possibly using some of its original materials, build a reconstruction elsewhere on the property that would be used as an amenity on the site. But Keeley said reconstruction would lose the barn’s historical significance as it “has been associated with that property for 100 years.” “I was very straightforward about our goals — we wanted to save that barn,” Keeley said. After two meetings with representatives from Toll Brothers, Keeley and the developers came to an agreement that the barn would be moved to a new location near the site that will be a separately owned parcel of land. As part of the agreement, Keeley said Historic Littleton withdrew its historical designation application. Toll Brothers did not respond to a request for comment about the agreement. The barn will be preserved for at least two years after homes are built, or until July 20, 2032, according to Keeley. Sutherland said he envisions the barn could be renovated to serve as an amenity for the new area. “At the end of the day a great

community asset is preserved and hopefully it will make that future neighborhood around it a better place,” Sutherland said, adding that the “city is delighted” with the outcome. While renovation may come with a heavy price tag, grants could help cover the cost, said Sara Doll, outreach specialist for History Colorado, which offers grants for such projects. The assessment grant, which can award up to $15,000 to applicants, would be a first step in understanding the needs of a historic site and how much preservation efforts could cost. Applicants can also apply for much larger grants for projects, with some awarding hundreds of thousands over several years. The consensus between a mega-developer and concerned city resident shows another side of Littleton’s reaction to growth and development, which for some has sparked concern and tension. “It demonstrates how developers are part of our community as well,” Sutherlands said. “Developers, for the most part, want to improve our community and I think that this is a demonstration of that.” For Keeley, the outcome is a “winwin,” she said.

Meeting to focus on proposed complex Englewood Rec Center will be site of Aug. 10 gathering BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The design team for a proposed 395-unit Englewood residential complex will host a neighborhood meeting at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 10, at Englewood Recreation Center, located at 1155 W. Oxford Ave. Embrey Partners, a real estate investment company that has built more than 10 properties in Colorado, is applying to develop a townhome and multi-family housing complex in Englewood on a lot along West Oxford Avenue and South Navajo Street. The property is approximately 8.4 acres and currently is home to businesses including Sam’s Automotive Reconditioning Center, located at 1314 W. Oxford Ave. The proposal would include a purchase of the property and does not involve eminent domain. Representatives from the design team plan to offer a presentation of the team’s current plans and answer questions about the project during the Aug. 10 meeting, according to the neighborhood meeting notice. Evolution of development proposal Development plans for this proposal have been in progress for about a year, said Phil Workman, a partner at The Pachner Company, which handles community engagement for the development. Originally, Embrey Partners proposed building two four-story multi-family buildings, amounting to about 555 units. However, after a neighborhood meeting with residents who voiced concerns, the developers reduced the development plan to about 396 units, said Chris Alvarado, the vice president of development at Embrey Partners, during a community meeting on June 9. Now, the number of planned units is 395, with 34 three-story townhomes and approximately 361 multi-family homes in a four-story building, according to the meeting notice. The townhomes would have their own garage and the multi-family building would have its own parking

garage surrounded by residential units. The proposal also features a pool, courtyard, dog park and greenery throughout the property, as well as plans for some sidewalk and roadway improvements. In the June 9 meeting, Alvarado told attendees that a percentage of the units would be affordable in keeping with City of Englewood requirements. However, in a July 21 email, Workman noted that “there is no requirement from Englewood for affordable housing” and that “it has always been our goal to provide housing that is ‘market rate.’” Workman said the developer would work with the city in the event of any affordability requirements as the approval process goes forward. What does the lot’s current zoning permit? Embrey Partners would need a rezoning of the area to go ahead with its plans. Currently, the lot that Embrey Partners wants to develop has I-1 zoning, representing a light industrial zone district, and several potential uses of the property would require no zoning change.

Under the existing I-1 industrial zoning, a range of developments are permitted, such as a tower structure for a telecommunication facility, an office building, a hotel, a warehousing or storage facility and an RTD maintenance facility, according to the city’s Code of Ordinances. Also listed in the Code of Ordinances is a table summarizing the dimensional requirements for principal structures, which shows that there are no maximum height restrictions for structures in I-1 zoning — meaning, for example, that there would be no height limits for a self-storage facility. A multi-unit dwelling, however, has height restrictions ranging from 32 feet to 100 feet, depending on the type of zoning and lot, and the Embrey Partners plan calls for the tallest structure to be four stories. Multi-unit dwellings are not permitted in industrial zoning districts. To be able to develop the proposed townhome and multi-family hous22nd Annual ing complex, the developers have to submit a planned unit development application to facilitate a rezoning of the property. The planned unit development

application will be reviewed by the planning and zoning commission, which will then offer a recommendation to city council. City council has the authority to approve or deny the application. Workman said it could be September or October before the team presents before the planning and zoning commission. There will be a public hearing for both the planning and zoning commission and city council meetings, during which residents can share opinions on the project. The developers will also submit a “major plat application” to combine the separate lots and dedicate a right-of-way along West Oxford Avenue, according to the meeting notice. If everything goes smoothly, Alvarado said on June 9 that the team could probably get rezoning and site approval around November or December this year and have a groundbreaking in the summer of 2023.

Happy for kindness

August 4, 2022

VOICES

n a recent cross-county trip to see my brother, I saw and experienced several acts of kindness that I am hoping are signs of good things changing in the country. Over the last few years, I feel like political division, a pandemic and the economy have created some bitter, angry citizens. This means seeing more FROM THE fighting, angry groups and less kindness in public. EDITOR In flying recently, I was brought to tears a few times. Or, maybe, close to tears is a better way to describe it. I was traveling with my children who are now 6, 8 and 17. No husband on this trip. I was a parent flying solo and that is tough any time. Due to a lengthy drive from my brother’s home and to save on some costs on Thelma Grimes my rental car — I had to go to the airport extremely early, meaning my 6 a.m. flight from Newark to Denver meant almost all night in the airport. I had no idea how much Newark worked to prevent sleeping in the airport. Chairs are screwed down, big metal bars prevent you from stretching out on other chairs. The floor does not have carpet. There may as well have been signs say, “Do not try to rest here.” Anyway, it was what it was. My kids and I were going to tough it out. However, after about an hour of us trying to find ways to get comfortable — just picture a 17-year trying to sit cross-legged, backwards in a chair against the wall — it was not going well. Then, a man who worked at the airport came through. He did not speak English but shook his head as he walked by me. The pessimistic side of me figured I was being judged as a not-so-good mom having my kids there. Instead, he pulled out a key, went into a storage room and came out carrying four cots. He gave each of my kids a cot, a blanket and a pillow. He got one for me and encouraged me with his hand gestures to get some rest as well. When my kids seemed overwhelmed with his gesture and thanked him with their tired voices — I was brought to tears. I am a true believer that most people are good. I just love having that belief reaffirmed in a strange place. Once on the plane, I saw another act of kindness that was not aimed at me but still mattered. An older woman who also did not speak English took her seat next to my son and myself. Come to find out, she was not in the right seat. However, my Spanish has gone way downhill since living in Arizona and the flight attendant struggled. Before long, a man in a nearby seat came over and helped translate, easing the woman’s stress and alleviating a tough situation. On the news, I have heard reports of families being separated from their children on flights. This happened to me as well. My son and daughter were put in a different row, and I sat with my 6-year-old separately. I trusted my 17-year-old to manage my 8-year-old (praying they would not argue over some nonsense). I wasn’t happy but did not raise a stink with the airline. After the flight, my daughter told me a nice woman sitting near them opened her arms and allowed my son to sleep against her, telling my daughter his comfort mattered to her. I hope this is a sign that we are getting better. I hope these instances can become regular again as we travel or go about our daily lives.

The tidal wave of complacency

here is plenty of discussion happening around what is being called “The Great Resignation.” The impact of people not willing to work has a vast-reaching impact and implications on every aspect of life. We are all experiencing fractured WINNING supply chains, an underWORDS staffed service industry, and gaps in inventory resulting in shortages around the world, just to name a few. This disruption and rising inflation are causing severe emotional and financial stress, leading to anxiety for businesses and Michael Norton many of us at home. When will it end? That is a question no one can answer, with some experts believing that it will be around longer than we think and whether that is a little longer or a lot longer. What many businesses are experiencing that is worse than “The Great Resignation,” is a tidal wave of complacency. When the pandemic began, both employer and employee were trying to figure out the whole remote work situation. In the beginning, there were struggles with working from home, and leaders were anxious because they felt work might not be getting done in the same capacity. But within just

a few short months, employees became t extremely comfortable and grateful to be c able to work from home, especially those t who had difficult commutes. f The work-life balance began to get better for most of us. We became aware of the t fact that we could decide to work when we b wanted to work and take a few hours off e and then return to our work in the evev ning. This strategy worked well for some, h but it also created an opportunity for complacency for others. We would convince ourselves we would do the work later, and then later became tomorrow, and tomorrow became next week. We lost any sense of urgency that we may have had before. Hunger and desire have been replaced by distractions and atrophy of our business muscles and attitude. Where we once strived for excellence, we have settled into striving for mediocrity. We know that talent without effort breeds mediocrity. We have fantastic people on our teams, and we know they can do more, do better, and once again be capable of striving for excellence. There is so much great content around how we can break out of our comfort zone, or as I heard this week, how we can break free from our confinement zone. Comfort zones are breeding grounds for mediocrity, and confinement zones hold us hostage, as they hamper our enthusiasm

city was within its rights to move forward with a November election on the issue. “While it is not expressly stated, the court is being asked to involve itself in questions such as propriety of mandating a special election ...,” Martinez wrote. “These decisions are best made by the elected officials rather than the court.” Knufinke and other residents have been active for months in trying to halt the Aspen Grove plans. After city council approved a rezoning of the shopping center last year — which laid the foundation to build up to 2,000 new housing units — Knufinke helped lead the “Say No to Aspen Grove” campaign, which delivered more than 4,200 signatures to the city clerk’s office seeking to force councilmembers to either rescind their decision or punt it to a city-wide vote. More than 3,700 of those signatures were deemed valid by the clerk’s office on Jan. 7, surpassing the signature threshold needed to force a council decision. Councilmembers decided to add the question to the Nov. 8 ballot, both because regularly scheduled elections tend to see much higher voter turnout and because it could have cost the city about $40,000 more

absolute best effort. We become frustrated because we cannot find what we need at the store because of no inventory. We have the right to be upset because it takes our meals longer to come out because the restaurant is short on help. Our impatience grows because we cannot get the car we want for several months. And we believe we have the right to be frustrated, upset and impatient, being angry about what we cannot get or have. Yet we never stop to think

about how our lack of effort and complacency impacts our company, customers, co-workers, and even our ability to grow, advance, and earn a higher income. Complacency is the enemy of achievement. “The Great Resignation” is very real. So, we must ask ourselves a hard question. Are we willing to accept or tolerate complacency just to keep the company going? Or do we need to find a way back to leading and motivating those who are on our team to break out of the com-

placency zone and into the striving for excellence zone? I would love to hear your thoughts at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we can get back to what made our economy thrive in the past, that awesome work ethic, it really will be a better than good year.

to run its own special election. But Knufinke claimed the council’s decision violated state law which mandates that a regular or special election should be held no less than 60 days and no more than 150 days after a citizen petition is validated. Littleton’s city charter and code exempt it from laws governing such petition and referendum requirements, allowing the city to set its own timeline. Suzanne M. Taheri, the attorney representing Knufinke, said “whatever changes you make, you cannot interfere with the constitutional right” to hold special elections. “The right of the people to vote on this in a timely way has been established time and time again,” Taheri said. Martinez’s ruling cites Article 5 of Colorado’s constitution, which allows for exemptions to state law for petitions and referendums for cities, towns and municipalities based on “their municipal legislation.” Littleton’s city code states Colorado’s constitution “shall have no applicability to any city initiative or referenda,” as cited by Martinez’s ruling. “Here, the city has made a political decision and created a resolution to hold this election at the general election rather than creating a special election,” Martinez wrote. “The court does not have the ability,

power or resource to involve itself in these policy decisions.” Knufinke said she was “surprised to see” that ruling’s language excusing the court from such policies and said “most of the decisions the courts make are political.” The ruling comes as Knufinke and other residents petition to change the city’s charter and code to force it to comply with Colorado law around petitions and special elections. Those residents need at least 3,628 physical signatures from registered Littleton voters by Aug. 12 to do so. If successful, it would give residents the ability to push certain questions onto voters’ ballots with fewer signatures and in a much shorter time frame. Along with

reducing the needed signatures to trigger referendums from 10% of the registered voters in the last municipal election to just 5%, it would also force the city to call an election within 60 to 150 days from when that petition is certified. Knufinke said that petition was spurred by fear that the Aspen Grove referendum in November is now a moot point as — despite the original rezoning being stalled — developers were approved July 25 by the city’s planning commission to move ahead with a smaller-scale plan of 481 housing units under the city’s new land use code. “We’re going to continue with the petition effort,” Knufinke said, adding that she is “definitely feeling optimistic,” that it would succeed.

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then taking a walk through most metro area communities can be a delightful treat for the eyes. Many communities have outdoor sculptures placed either in sculpture gardens or throughout the cities to provide beauty, create community, revitalize metropolitan areas and make people think. For those in charge of acquiring the sculptures, it’s vital work. “I think there are a lot of reasons why public sculpture is important,” City of Northglenn Arts, Culture and Community Manager Michael Stricker said. “Not only does it help beautify parks and public areas, but it builds a sense of identity and community. Our community has really embraced all of the public art as their own.” While public art also includes outdoor murals and other displays, sculptures come in all shapes and sizes, created out of every sort of material and in various genres from traditional to modern. And the best part is that viewing public sculptures is free. “Outdoor sculptures are like a museum without walls in a way,” explained Tim Vacca with the Greenwood Village-based Museum of Outdoor Arts. “Our mission is to make art part of everyday life where people are walking in public areas, and it might bring a pleasant surprise to them. We want it to be accessible to all.” Tricia Rosenthal, president of Sculpture Evergreen, a nonprofit that has placed 42 permanent sculptures throughout Evergreen, called it an artistic imperative to place sculptures in the downtown area and in area parks. “They speak to people,” Rosenthal said. “It is fun for me to see that, and it’s pretty exciting. I’ve been to numerous places where many communi-

ties have decided this is something they want to do as part their community cultural enhancement, and people relate to the sculptures. There is something for everyone — especially with the pieces that change.” Some communities have sculptures that are displayed on a rotating basis along with their permanent collections. For Golden, which has extensive public sculptures throughout the city, the Public Art Committee believes sculptures contribute to community identity, civic pride and economic development, and allows the community to feel engaged with the city, according to Robin Fleischmann, Golden’s economic development manager. Sculptor Shohini Ghosh of Highlands Ranch agrees that public sculptures are a great and important way to introduce art into people’s lives. The sculptor, originally from India, has work displayed as close as Evergreen, Hudson Gardens and the Denver Art Museum, and as far away as Topeka, Kansas; Edina, Minnesota; and even China. “Sculpture is a mode of expression,” she explained of her art. “The whole concept of expressing a whole idea in one form excites me. It’s not a canvas where you have a story visually developing. Sculpture is one idea, one moment, one emotion that you want to catch and make it permanent. Each sculpture has its own rapport with the public. That’s how it is supposed to be.” Different styles Public-sculpture selection and tastes vary wherever you go. In Evergreen, for example, a committee selects the sculptures that are part of the rotating Sculpture Walk. Since

“Snow Queen” by Stephen Landis in downtown Evergreen.

Evergreen is not incorporated, the nonprofit Sculpture Evergreen needs to look for sites by working with private property owners and other entities that own area parks. Evergreen’s Sculpture Walk was started 28 years ago. “For us, it’s a grassroots thing,” Rosenthal explained. “Other than money from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District and Colorado Creative Industries, everything is funded by donors. Also, in many ways, Evergreen is unique because of the environment we have.” The rural area makes selecting sites that enhance the sculptures more challenging, she added. In Northglenn, a committee of 50 people selects six sculptures for its rotating Art on Parade and invites the public to vote for their favorite, which is purchased by the city to add to its

permanent collection of about 30. Northglenn started its collection in 2000. Stricker said Northglenn is committed to public art and putting it throughout the city, with Art on Parade located at Eleanor M. Wyatt Centennial Park to create a destination feel. The permanent collection is throughout the city and continues to grow. Golden’s sculpture collection is on temporary hold as the Public Art Committee evaluates its current collection and determines what sculptures should be added. Many of the 34 sculptures are along Clear Creek and Washington Avenue. Golden also has what it calls the Itty Bitty Art Project, which includes 14 tiny sculptures. The commission wants to begin diversifying its sculpture collection since a large number of the sculptures are traditional bronze donated to the city by other entities, Fleischmann said. The Museum of Outdoor Arts’ permanent sculpture garden is at Marjorie Park just outside Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre in Greenwood Village, with 40 sculptures, plus more than 30 throughout Englewood. The Museum of Outdoor Arts was started in 1981. Making sculpture relevant Ghosh is excited that public sculptures have caught on in many cities in the United States and abroad in part to help rejuvenate municipalities. Historically, a sculpture was put in town squares to help identify the town, and public sculpture is continuing that mission, she added. “I love that this art form is used as a tool to help cities as they go through the revival process of bringing a city back to life,” Ghosh said. She wants to see sculptures generate discussion among those who see them. “I’ve seen people stop and contemplate sculptures,” she explained. “Even in their hurried day, most people don’t just walk by. They give (the sculpture) a moment of thought. Art is a very strong form of communication other than writing or talking. (Sculptors) express directly from our souls — unadulterated, honest expression.” For those who help bring public art to their communities, its importance is without measure. “(Sculptures) really reach into people’s hearts,” Rosenthal said. “That’s something worth preserving.”

“Volcanic Sunrise,” a metal print by photographer Jason Weiss, was chosen as Best of Show in the All Colorado Art Show at Littleton’s Depot Art Gallery, where the COURTESY IMAGE exhibit runs through Aug. 27.

Traditional exhibit opens at gallery Old depot is venue for annual show BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Wild West — the 38th All Colorado Art Show at Littleton’s Depot Art Gallery — opened with a reception where juror Doug Dawson awarded the Best of Show to photographer Jason Weiss for his “Volcanic Sunrise,” a fine metal print. It is one of 400 entries submitted for this highly competitive exhibit. Dawson selected 70 works to be displayed through Aug. 27. Dawson’s own piece, a pastel called “A Break in the Sky,” is hung just to the right of the entrance, as one faces the front door. Pause and enjoy it. Jason Weiss’ winning work is finely detailed, with every small bit of rock clearly depicted and beautifully balanced color. A viewer really feels

I’m thinking kids will be as enchanted as I was ... Many of the works selected for the exhibit are landscapes. Entrants would be aware that Dawson is a master pastellist and teacher, known for his landscapes, figures and twilight city scenes. He teaches pastel workshops across the country.

A Second Place ribbon was awarded to Paul Nutting’s painting, “Evening Quiet,” an oil on canvas depicting a creek flowing toward mountains. One can almost hear a gurgle ... Third Place winner was Diane Fechenbach’s pastel painting, “Frozen.” Honorable Mention ribbons include Sheryl Detert’s acrylic painting, “Alone,” and Elizabeth Kayle’s digital fine art photograph, “Sunset Sentinel,” silhouetting a lone raven ... For years, there has been more than one “All Colorado Show” appearing in mid- summer, so we just specify “at the Depot” or “at Curtis Center” and encourage readers to enjoy both after years of suggesting one or the other venue change a summer show title ... They really are both crowd pleasers, and a great introduction to art for young people who are just starting to create their own images. Here are many approaches to making a thing of beauty ...

Let your ‘Hair’ down at Miners Alley s Mark Twain once (supposedly) wrote, “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Miners Alley Playhouse COMING is proving that’s ATTRACTIONS true with its summer production of the rock and roll classic, “Hair.” “There’s a timelessness to this show, which is unfortunate,” said Valerie Igoe, who plays Sheila in the Clarke Reader production. “Sixty years later, the relevance is still here. There’s something that completely resonates.” Sponsored by The Buffalo Rose, “Hair” runs at Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, through Oct. 2. The show runs at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Directed by Len Matheo, and featuring music direction by David Nehls and choreography by Angie Simmons, the show brings alive the 1960s counterculture with memorable songs, vivid costumes and a story that examines ideas that include identity, global responsibility and much more. “The shows that meant the most to me in the past have been the shows that really bring the community together and are more actual events than just going to see a musical or play,” Matheo said. “People in the

older crowd will remember those times and it will connect them to their youth and everyone else in the audience.” What most recognize “Hair” for is the tunes, which include favorites like “Aquarius,” “Good Morning, Starshine,” and “Let The Sun Shine In.” Performing these songs will be Brian Bohlender, Alejandro Roldan, Bussy Gower, Ben Hilzer, Preston Adams, Katie Jackson, Vi Dang. Jasmyn Pierce, Ronald McQueen, Jade McGee and Daja McLeod. Matheo said the production’s nontraditional and colorblind casting allows everything about the show to take on a layer of meaning. “There’re so many music scenes in the show, but in some ways, it’s like a French film,” Igoe said. “You’re thrown into all these characters’ relationships and lives… and see them build their tribe.” Regardless of if the show is something audience members are familiar with or not, Matheo is certain everyone will find something that moves them. “I want people to know what they’ll feel when they come to the show — for much of the show, they won’t be able to stop smiling,” he said. “Audiences will have a wonderful time and possibly a cathartic experience around the pure joy of being young and the pain and grief of being young.” Get tickets at www.minersalley. com. Immerse yourself in ancient Egypt

There’s been a string of immersive events in the Mile High City this year, but this is one I’m most excited about (history nerd that I am) — Immersive King Tut: Magic Journey to the Light, which is set up at Lighthouse Denver at 3900 Elati St., through Oct. 10. According to provided information, this event celebrates the 100th anniversary of archeologist Howard Carter’s discovery of the tomb of the legendary “boy king” in November 1922. Visitors will learn more about “Amduat, an important ancient Egyptian funerary text, thought to be the oldest known illustrated story that was depicted on the tombs of pharaohs.” For those who long to explore Egypt but may not get there, this is the next best thing. Secure your passport to the exhibit at immersive-kingtut.com/ denver. Get your soul sizzle on with Larry Braggs and the CJRO There’s a reason soul music will never go out of style and if you are curious about that reason, all you need to do is listen to the vocals of Larry Braggs. The lead vocalist of Tower of Power for 14 years, he’s returning to the Arvada Center Amphitheatre after last year’s brilliant visit. Braggs and the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra will be bringing their A Night of Sizzling Soul to the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 6. As someone who attended last year’s performance,

I can attest that both the band and singer bring their A-game to all kinds of classics of the genre. If you love some of the best music ever written (and why wouldn’t you?), this is a can’t-miss event. Get tickets at www.coloradojazz.org/ concerts. Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The Wild Hearts Tour at Mission Ballroom Three of the best voices in modern alternative rock are joining forces for what will undoubtedly be a truly wonderful concert - one of the best in a season of killer bills. Julien Baker, Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen are the three members of the Wild Hearts Tour and will be performing at Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver, at 6 p.m. Aug. 7. All three artists have unleashed stellar releases this year — Baker just dropped a companion EP to last year’s “Little Oblivion,” while Olsen’s “Big Time” is a stirring and searing album that ranks amongst her best (and that’s no small thing). And Van Etten’s “We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong,” shows that six albums in, her pen remains as powerful as ever. With talents this strong, you don’t want to miss this show.

HEALTH FROM PAGE 1

While Tri-County’s breakup began with Douglas County’s exit, Adams County’s elected leaders have shown enthusiasm in leaving — though that’s not due to an opposition to Tri-County’s mask mandates earlier in the pandemic. “Adams County, we’re in a growth period right now — we’re in a position financially where we have the resources to stand up our own health department,” said Lynn Baca, an Adams County commissioner who called the transition a “once-in-a-lifetime” chance and a door to better fulfilling the unique needs of county residents. Large difference in staff numbers The process of the three counties pulling out of Tri-County began with the Douglas County commissioners, who decided to immediately leave the health agency last September after months of disagreements over COVID-19 protection measures. Douglas County formed its own health department and decided to contract to continue receiving many public health services from TriCounty until at least the end of this year. Tri-County — the public health agency for Adams and Arapahoe and formerly Douglas counties — became a magnet for attention during the earlier stages of the coronavirus pandemic as it issued mask mandates for schools and the general public. But Tri-County’s regular work includes providing no-cost

cancer screenings, overdose prevention, free nurse visits, restaurant and child care facility inspections, and other services, according to an Arapahoe County news release. Among the several Tri-County leadership staff who will come aboard the Arapahoe County health department, Jennifer Ludwig, who served as Tri-County’s deputy director, will take the helm as the Arapahoe County health department’s new director. Asked whether there was a collective sense among Tri-County leadership that they wanted to work in Arapahoe County because of how much that county aligned with Tri-County leadership amid the pandemic, Douglas, the health chief, said: “That may have played in the thinking of some people, but I don’t think it was a general theme. “I think people were more interested in ‘Where do I currently live?’” Douglas said. He added: “It’s probably based in part of the perception of ‘Who am I going to work with, who’s my boss?’” Baca echoed that, saying: “2020 kind of threw all of us on our ear, and people are looking at work-life balance, and I think it was proximity to employment” that factored into staff’s decisions. Though the Douglas County Health Department hasn’t announced high-profile hires of former Tri-County staff, the new department will absorb a small number of employees from the outgoing agency. “To date we have hired two people from Tri-County. Expect probably about 10 more,” a statement from Douglas County said.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 6 • 3:00-10:30 PM

The Douglas County Health Department has floated a possible staff organizational chart consisting of about 35 full-time employees and two contractors, according to an April 19 work session with county commissioners. The upcoming Adams County Health Department, meanwhile, plans to hire a total of about 170 employees, though that number could change, according to Baca. “We have at least 60 staff members coming over from Tri-County Health in various positions,” Baca said. Asked how many lower-level Tri-County Health employees are expected to work for the Arapahoe County health department, Arapahoe County said in a statement: “We don’t have specifics yet, but as mentioned, hiring staff is a top priority for (Arapahoe County health) leadership, and Tri-County employees certainly have a lot of relevant experience and expertise.” Staff shortage squeezing agency Douglas, the health chief, has said internal polling has shown a vast majority of current Tri-County staff have shown interest in moving to one of the new county-run health departments and expressed optimism that there would be a significant carryover. But Tri-County itself has become thinner. “Every place saw the great resignation going on, and we weren’t immune to that,” Douglas said . “Last year, we probably were running 30% to 40% more staff choosing to leave than previous years.” The loss of staff has “certainly had an impact” on Tri-County’s services, Douglas said. With “restaurant inspections, we’ve had to do some triage,” Douglas said. “We’ve had to prioritize riskier settings.” Tri-County has seen longer wait times for its clinics, said Douglas, adding the health agency had to make some reductions in its sexual health clinics. That area includes family planning, contraceptive services, and sexually transmitted disease and HIV testing services, Douglas said. Asked whether Tri-County is in danger of having to stop some services before the end of the year when the health agency is formally

Costs, services may differ To start their own public health agencies, Adams and Arapahoe counties could run into costs up to millions of dollars each, according to a consulting firm that studied the benefits and drawbacks of the counties’ potential decisions to handle public health services alone. “In the short term, separate, single county public health agencies would have access to less public health revenue, and perhaps services, and would incur transition costs for start-up and (the) dissolution of TCHD,” the Oct. 12 report by the Otowi Group says. Working together in a two-county “district” public health agency would potentially make Adams and Arapahoe more competitive for grants and contracts, the report says. SEE HEALTH, P23

scheduled to end operations, Douglas said: “I don’t see any in particular that would be predictable that we would have to stop.” Last year, Douglas County commissioners quickly formed the county’s new health department — giving the county autonomy on public health orders such as mask mandates — but the county also decided to contract to have Tri-County provide all public health services, such as restaurant inspections and clinical matters, through the end of 2022. But the Douglas County Health Department has already begun taking some services into its own hands. The county health department oversees vital statistics and emergency preparedness and response, and it will soon take over environmental health services and WIC, the federal grant program, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Any other services are to be fully transitioned by mid-December, according to a statement from Douglas County. In the other two counties, officials said they have not heard concerns that Tri-County would be unable to perform through the end of the year. “We haven’t seen any indications that it won’t be able to do so,” said Luc Hatlestad, an Arapahoe County spokesperson.

HEALTH FROM PAGE 22

Despite the potential chance at savings, the counties appear locked into going their separate ways. “After Douglas County exited the partnership, we were moving ahead with setting up a two-district agency, but after Adams also withdrew that was moot, and that’s when we shifted our focus to a single-county health department,” Hatlestad said. “The motivations behind the Adams decision are still not clear to us.” Differences of opinion on public health policy didn’t just arise amid the pandemic, Adams County commissioners have told Colorado Community Media. Asked whether there are moments during the pandemic she looks back on and wishes Adams had its own health department, Adams County Commissioner Eva Henry has said: “Almost weekly.” She said she wanted to have the conversation “long ago” of Adams having its own health agency. “Once a year, all the county commissioners get together and they talk about the budget” in the three counties, Henry told Colorado Community Media in October. “And talk about what we’ll fund and not going to fund. With Arapahoe County’s budget restrictions they have, and Douglas County’s views, it made those decisions very hard.” Adams has different budget policies than Arapahoe County because Arapahoe is “not de-Bruced,” meaning the county has different restrictions under Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, Henry said. “We have different factors that affect our citizens in Adams County — we have air pollution, citizens working in industrial jobs. We’re addressing poverty. We have homelessness,” said Baca, noting Douglas County does not encounter those issues as much as other counties. Adams County going alone on public health “had nothing to do with the pandemic or masking,” Baca added. Adams County’s contribution to Tri-County Health’s 2021 budget was $3.8 million, Arapahoe County’s contribution was $4.8 million and Douglas County’s contribution was $2.6

million, according to Tri-County. The net cost for the first year of Adams County’s own health department could total around $11 million to $13 million, Baca said. “Our first year out, we’re looking at it’s going to be approximately 20 to 25 million dollars, with an estimated 12 to 14 million dollars in grants,” Baca said. Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe has said the county’s own health department will likely cost the county around $5 million per year, possibly even more. “We anticipate that it will be more, we just don’t know how much more at this point,” Sharpe said. Officials in Douglas County, whose health department is likely to be much smaller than those of the other two counties, expect to keep costs down. “We anticipate that the new DCHD with services tailored to the needs (and) expectations of our county will ultimately cost less per year than $2.6 million,” the county said in a statement. Douglas County’s new public health director, Michael Hill, has told Colorado Community Media the county’s health department will adopt the same fee structure as Tri-County for this year but may consider suggesting fee changes next year. Asked whether fees for public health services will be higher under the Adams County Health Department compared to what the fees for the same services were under TriCounty, Baca said Adams County leaders haven’t discussed that level of detail during meetings. She anticipates “that we would maintain the fee structure at least starting out. And then that would be a (future) board of health decision to make,” Baca said, referring to the upcoming policy-making body for Adams’ new department. She added: “We’re not looking at this decision to adversely affect any of our residents.” At this point, Adams County is not looking at cutting any traditional services offered by Tri-County, Baca said. Sharpe has said county residents should expect services to be offered through the county’s new department, but depending on staff and budget constraints, certain services

may not be at full capacity during the department’s early days. According to Hill, Douglas County “will not directly provide any clinical services.” The Douglas County Health Department’s proposed staff organizational chart, included in a June 14 Douglas County commissioners meeting, showed clinical services as planned on a contract basis. Hill has said that the clinical services could include vaccines, sexually transmitted disease protection and family planning. “Clinical services will be provided by others through yet-to-be-finalized agreements and will be available within Douglas County,” the county said in a statement. A $50 million question Looming over the cost of leaving Tri-County is an alleged $50 million fee Tri-County Health and the counties may owe to another government body. At issue is a payment that the health agency may eventually owe to the Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association, or PERA, which provides retirement and other benefits to employees of government agencies and public entities in Colorado. Members of PERA include public school teachers, many university and college employees, judges, state troopers, and other types of public employees. If Tri-County Health is “allowed to withdraw from PERA without paying the withdrawal liability, all PERA members and employers will be negatively impacted,” a complaint in a lawsuit filed by the

retirement association said. Douglas County’s statement to Colorado Community Media said: “It is our position — and that of all three counties — that county citizens are not liable for that debt as none of our elected officials ever agreed to be part of PERA.” But it added: “If the counties have to pay for any aspect of the dissolution of TCHD then Douglas County will pay its fair share.” Health agency locations may remain Once the three counties’ health departments are fully underway next year, residents will likely visit familiar locations for public health services. “On our existing Tri-County locations, the county health department will be assuming those leases,” Baca said, so residents can visit the same locations they already know. Arapahoe County already owns some of the Tri-County properties within the county — in Englewood and in Altura Plaza in Aurora, according to Hatlestad. “We haven’t purchased or leased any other properties or equipment yet, but determining that is on the new leadership’s to-do list,” Hatlestad said. As of spring, the Douglas County Health Department had begun to move into a facility in Castle Rock partially used by Tri-County currently. The agency also had plans to take over a Tri-County office, located inside the county Department of Motor Vehicles building in Lone Tree, sometime after Oct. 1. Reporters Elliott Wenzler and Robert Tann contributed to this story.

Ganahl wants to eliminate state income tax Plan by GOP candidate targets largest source of revenue in general fund

‘I’m working with some experts on that. I don’t want to get ahead of us. But I wouldn’t be putting this big, bold pledge out there if I didn’t think we could get it done.’

BY JESSE PAUL COLORADO SUN

Heidi Ganahl, the Republican gubernatorial nominee, is campaigning on a bold promise to eliminate Colorado’s 4.55% individual income tax, the largest source of revenue for the state’s general fund, during her first four-year term. “I will take us to zero income tax,” she told Republican voters during a candidate forum in April. But Ganahl, a University of Colorado regent and the only remaining Republican in statewide elected office, hasn’t explained how she plans to eliminate Colorado’s income tax without dramatically affecting the state’s budget, nearly one-third of which is made up of income tax dollars. Ganahl would either have to slash programs and services to make up for the lost revenue — likely including education funding — or find billions of dollars elsewhere by trying to hike other taxes or enacting new fees. “It’s doable,” she said in an interview in June without offering detailed plans on how she would do it. “It’s not going to happen

overnight.” Republicans have been slowly chipping away at Colorado’s income tax rate for years. The latest effort is a question on the November ballot that would reduce the rate to 4.4%. But conservatives have mostly avoided calls to eliminate the income tax, which has been around since 1937, because no one has presented a feasible way to do it. “Philosophically I agree,” said state Sen. Bob Rankin, a Carbondale Republican and the senior GOP member of the legislature’s Joint Budget Committee, which writes the state budget. “How we get there would take some work.” Ganahl’s Democratic opponent in November, Gov. Jared Polis, is also a proponent of eliminating Colorado’s income tax, but only if it’s eliminated in a revenue-

neutral way. He has said he wants to raise taxes on other things — like pollution — to make up the difference. And unlike Ganahl, Polis has not made eliminating Colorado’s income tax a cornerstone of his policy platform. “We can find another way to generate revenue that doesn’t discourage productivity and growth,” he said at a conservative conference last year. Polis also appears to be in favor of the measure on November’s ballot seeking to reduce the income tax rate. “I’m generally supportive of those kinds of measures,” he told The Sun earlier this year. In the 2020-21 fiscal year, the state’s individual income tax revenue was roughly $9.5 billion, accounting for more than 60% of total general fund revenue. The overall state budget that year, which also includes billions in federal dollars, was about $32 billion. By comparison, sales tax revenue in the 2020-21 fiscal year, the second largest source of general fund dollars, was roughly $3.4 billion. The state sales tax rate is 2.9%. In the 2021-22 fiscal year, which ended June 30, individual income tax revenue is expected to total $11.5 billion. In this fiscal year, which began July 1, Colorado’s individual income tax revenue is forecast to be about $11.6 billion.

Ganahl said her campaign plans to lay out the specifics of her proposal, a major part of her economic platform and her overall pitch to voters, later this summer. (“We have a policy team working on it,” Lexi Swearingen, Ganahl’s spokeswoman, said earlier this month.) “I’m working with some experts on that,” Ganahl said of her income tax plan. “I don’t want to get ahead of us. But I wouldn’t be putting this big, bold pledge out there if I didn’t think we could get it done.” Republican candidate for governor Heidi Ganahl speaks during the GOP assembly at the Broadmoor World Arena on Saturday, April 9, 2022, in Colorado Springs. (Hugh Carey, The Colorado Sun) Ganahl has also said she plans to cut Colorado’s 22-cent-pergallon gas tax, which is one of the lowest state gas taxes in the nation, in half, which would sharply lower the funds available for the Colorado Department of Transportation There are already plenty of skeptics. First off, Ganahl couldn’t unilaterally eliminate Colorado’s income tax. She would likely need the help of the legislature, and would almost certainly need the legislature to be controlled by Republicans. The GOP hasn’t held a majority in both the House and SEE GANAHL, P39

Where Colorado jobs would be if pandemic hadn’t happened Even with setback, state is at one of its highest levels ever BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

Thanks to a gain of 4,500 nonfarm payroll jobs in June, Colorado has now recovered 110.1% of jobs lost in the first two months of the COVID-19 pandemic. That helped push down Colorado’s unemployment rate to 3.4% in June, the lowest since February 2020’s very low 2.8%. The U.S. unemployment rate didn’t change for the fourth straight month, at 3.6% in June. But if the pandemic hadn’t happened, Colorado would have added another 100,000 more jobs by now, according to data compiled by the state Department of Labor and Employment. Before the pandemic, the state’s job growth trajectory was at 4,900 per month. However, getting to 2,857,400, as the state did in June, still puts the state at one of its highest levels of jobs ever. Colorado had a fast recovery, said Ryan Gedney, senior economist with the labor department. But that job growth is starting to slow. “I think we’ve gotten out of that recovery mode. The state has regained what jobs that were lost (after) February 2020,” Gedney said. But he added that had the pandemic not happened, there might have been a recession anyway, or at least a slowdown in new job creation. It was already challenging to hire enough workers before the pandemic. “Remember, at the end of 2019, the nation, the state, we were still at a historically long economic expansion,” he said. “Was 4,900 a realistic measure? Possibly not. Could there have been a recession that happened? You’d go crazy if you tried to play out all these different what ifs.” But he did revise that 4,900 prepandemic projection, dropping it to a “what if” of 2,500 new jobs per month instead. That puts Colorado closer to reaching the projected job

Unemployment rates continue to improve in Colorado. However, a question being posed is what could have happened without the SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE pandemic?

growth had the pandemic not happened. See the red and black lines in the chart below. Only two regions in the state haven’t recovered all the lost jobs. The Fort Collins metro area has recovered 97% of jobs lost, while the Greeley region is still down 4,800 jobs having recovered just 59% of jobs lost. The decline in mining and logging is to blame. The industry, which includes oil and gas companies, not only hasn’t recovered, it continues to shed jobs. It lost 2,400 jobs in the

South Adams County water district buying water to dilute ‘forever chemicals’ BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The South Adams County Water and Sanitation District, anchored by Commerce City, will be paying Denver Water $2.75 million this year for enough supply to dilute local well water tainted by PFAS “forever chemicals” from firefighting foam runoff, officials said on June 26. The district serves 65,000 people, and said it needs a new $130 million treatment plant to filter out PFAS and past contamination from the industrial solvent 1,4-dioxane, in order to avoid buying relatively expensive Denver water indefinitely. The district is applying for federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grants to build the new plant, but is now competing with dozens of communities newly in need after the Environmental Protection Agency radically lowered safe PFAS guidelines in June, officials said. PFAS is an abbreviation for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. More than 100 communities across Colorado are scrambling to retest drinking water under state guidance, and come up with dilution or treatment plans if PFAS levels prove too high. The EPA’s drinking water guidance for PFAS, a family of common water repellents used in thousands of consumer goods from rain gear to nonstick pans, was formerly no more than 70 parts per trillion of lifetime exposure. In June, the EPA’s guidance for two forms of PFAS, called PFOA and PFOS, was cut to 0.004 parts per trillion and 0.02 parts per trillion, respectively. South Adams was fine under the old guideline; under the new guidelines, its 2021 results of 4.6 ppt for PFOA and 13 ppt for PFOS are up to 1,000 times the new guidance. Frisco was one of the first Colorado communities to see the changed guidance put them in potential hazardous territory, and the town shut down some wells and reopened a treatment plant. Thornton has also announced that past test results are now well over the lowered guidance and has changed well sources and sought new treatment methods to remove PFAS.

PFAS testing The Forever Problem: “Forever chemicals,” also known as PFAS, are an increasing toxic burden on

Colorado and the United States, and The Colorado Sun is committed to coverage of public health threats posed by the ubiquitous consumer chemicals. We continue to follow threats from the chemicals to drinking water, croplands and wildlife, and the extensive costs required to clean them up. More Colorado communities are likely to follow. State water quality officials have said a 2019 statewide testing program including most local water agencies gave more than 100 agencies PFAS results that are above the new guidance, and need to be retested. State and local news releases list the many potential hazards of PFAS contamination, including lowered immunity, lower birth weights and more. But they have also emphasized that drinking current water supplies is not dangerous or cause for a water crisis. Water agencies note that no current testing methods can reveal PFAS at the extremely low thresholds of 0.004 ppt and 0.02 ppt now suggested by the EPA. The testing threshold for South Adams, alongside many other agencies, starts at 2 ppt, and with Denver Water dilution, the agency is once again below those thresholds, said Abel Moreno, South Adams district manager. “The EPA has moved the goal posts, and we are taking steps to reduce the presence of PFAS even further,” Moreno said. Part of the confusion over the EPA and PFAS is the federal agency’s distinction between “guidelines” and “standards.” The EPA issues guidelines, considered strong suggestions and signals to state health departments, when research is still being done and the science is not settled. State health departments and environmental groups are hopeful the EPA will turn its PFAS drinking water guidelines into enforceable standards through regulations issued this fall. South Adams has shut off wells near a metro firefighting training facility. The district believes other wells it owns may have been contaminated by firefighting-related runoff from the former Stapleton airport. There has not been any connection established between PFAS in South Adams County water SEE CHEMICALS, P28

supplies and PFAS contamination at the nearby Suncor Energy refinery, Moreno said. South Adams is scraping corners of its budget to find the $2.75 million it expects to pay to Denver Water through the rest of this year. The agency had a previous backup contract with Denver Water for 2,000 acre-feet, and will now use that water and buy more. The district is trying to avoid raising customer rates for costs related to PFAS contamination, Moreno said. Moreno said he thinks South Adams County has a good chance at some of the $130 million it needs for a plant treating PFAS and a chemi-

cal taint dating back to 2012, from industrial solvents that reached groundwater. “We believe that we are going to get Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding,” Moreno said. “What we don’t know is how much.” When the EPA issued the new lowered guidance in mid-June, Moreno added, “we were dealing probably with a handful or so of other utilities in the state. Now we’re dealing with a lot of others that are possibly going to be competing for the same dollars.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Michael Fields, a conservative fiscal policy activist who has been pushing for incremental income tax rate cuts, said it wouldn’t be feasible to eliminate the state’s income tax without some serious planning. “You would definitely have to fill in a lot of that revenue with some other source,” he said. Democrats in the legislature and liberal fiscal policy groups are almost uniformly against the idea. “It’s red meat for the base,” said Scott Wasserman, who leads the liberal-leaning Bell Policy Center,

first two months of the pandemic, but is still down 3,400 jobs since April 2020. But as Colorado continued to add more jobs elsewhere and people joined or returned to work, the state

next spring, and “that’s a pretty quick turnaround in the federal government,” Patterson noted. Closing Moraine Park’s 244 camp sites, hosting 30,000 people a year, will put a crimp in tourism, but the park and town are working together to highlight other spots. A rehab is “way, way past due,” Patterson said. One great feature of the rebuilt site will be 17 accessibility compliant campsites, including easier paths to bathrooms and other facilities. The park is still seeing some of the same stresses hitting the surrounding territory. Park fire chief Mike Lewelling has been unable to completely round out his resident hotshot crew, as other jobs compete for their attention. Some of his crew is away now to protect Zion National Park in southwestern Utah. “Our main message is we feel very,

very fortunate that we have been able to receive the funds to be able to tackle these really important projects, with a park that’s as old as we are,” Patterson said, referring to the 1915 opening year. “We just have to continue to chip away at some of our deferred maintenance.” Some of the boosts for the park were announced at the same time the National Park Service was reminding taxpayers of the economic impact of the lauded protected lands system in the U.S. In its annual impact report, the federal government said Rocky Mountain National Park had 4.43 million visitors in 2021, nearing pre-pandemic record levels. Those visitors spent $323.3 million for lodging, food and other services in the Estes Park area, supporting 4,421 jobs, the Park Service said. Though not quite so high, impacts

are significant from other national parks in Colorado. Mesa Verde National Park in the Four Corners area attracted 548,000 visitors, spending $62.6 million and supporting 825 jobs, the report said. Great Sand Dunes reported about 603,000 visitors spending $41.3 million in the area, supporting 536 jobs. By contrast, Rocky Mountain National Park’s northern competitor, Yellowstone, attracted 4.9 million people spending $630.3 million, and supported 8,736 jobs.

“but as with a lot of the things I see coming out of her campaign it’s not grounded in governing.” Proposing cuts to the budget is fair game, he said, but Ganahl needs to explain which cuts she would make or where she would find revenue to backfill what’s lost. “Obviously that would have an impact on people,” he said. “It’s gotta be an informed conversation.” The income tax rate Colordans paid used to be based on their earnings. People with higher incomes paid more while people with lower incomes paid less until 1987, when a flat, 5% rate was enacted. The rate was reduced by the legislature about 20 years ago and then again by voters in 2020. State Sen. Chris Hansen, a Denver Democrat who is slated to be the next chair of the JBC, said Ganahl should explain to voters how she would fund schools if she cuts the income tax. “It would completely gut the ability of the state to deliver education and other services,” he said. “It’s just a bit nonsensical to say ‘we’re going to cut the income tax’ without a plausible plan to replace that revenue.”

Ganahl has provided some general ideas on how to remove Colorado’s income tax: find waste in the budget (she hasn’t said where there are billions in waste now, though she has complained about the budget’s size) and bring new businesses to Colorado to create more jobs and increase existing state revenue streams by improving the economy. In Kansas, then-Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, cut income taxes in 2012 with the intention of boosting the state’s economy. That didn’t work and the reductions were eventually rolled back. Ganahl has also pointed to the fact that nine other states don’t have an income tax, including Florida and Texas. However, Florida’s sales tax rate is more than double Colorado’s rate at 6%. Florida’s effective property tax rate is also much higher than Colorado’s, according to Rocket Mortgage, at 0.89% and 0.51% respectively. In Texas, the state sales tax rate is 6.25%. Rocket Mortgage listed Texas’ effective property tax rate as the 7th highest in the U.S. Colorado’s rate was ranked as the third lowest.

Even if Ganahl wanted to raise the state sales tax rate in Colorado or the effective property tax rate, doing so would be immensely difficult. Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights requires voter approval for all tax increases, and Coloradans have been mostly unwilling to approve state tax hikes since TABOR, a constitutional amendment, was adopted in 1992. Hansen also points out that raising the state’s sales tax rate would be regressive since doing so would force poorer Coloradans to shoulder to shoulder the same increases as their wealthier counterparts. But Ganahl said she is undaunted by the big challenges that come with trying to eliminate the state income tax. “I am all about rolling up my sleeves and making solutions work,” she said.
