Englewood releases draft of downtown plan Proposal aims to draw homes, offices and stores

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood advocates are aiming to bring offices, homes and stores near transit and bike paths, along with more customers living and working downtown, new and improved public spaces for community use and more in a draft plan for Englewood’s core.

The draft version of the Downtown Matters Plan, released on June 15, details city leaders’ vision of the future of downtown Englewood — an area bordered by South Santa Fe Drive to the west, Kenyon Avenue to the south, South Lafayette Street to the east and Eastman Avenue to the north.

The goal of the plan is to create an economic development tool to rebuild and reposition downtown Englewood and encourage private investment.

Englewood City Council kicked off the first steps of the Downtown Matters Plan by approving an ordinance on June 15 to create and fund a downtown development authority, a key component to the plan.

Senate Bill 217, signed by Gov. Jared Polis on June 19, includes provisions that require police departments to use body-worn cameras and increase data collection pertaining to interactions with the public.

Chokeholds are also now banned because of the bill.

Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown knows that in the weeks since the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, “there are many people in our community that are hurting,” Brown told the public.

As cities across the United States field calls to rethink how they police their citizens in the wake of Floyd’s death, the Centennial City Council asked the public to submit questions for Brown about the sheriff ’s office’s policies.

The sheriff gave answers during the council’s June 22 meeting — held via video conference — shedding light on how Arapahoe deputies are authorized to use force and how Colorado’s new police accountability law will affect policy at the sheriff ’s office.

“I want you to know that law enforcement officers in our agency are with you,” said Brown, addressing residents who may be frustrated with police conduct. “We understand the protests.”

The sheriff ’s office sent between 40 and 50 deputies to Denver for several nights during protests fueled

by Floyd’s death, but they fired no shots or tear gas and made no arrests, Brown previously told Colorado Community Media.

DA’s office releases shooting report quickly Brauchler speaks on why shooting reports often take months to be released

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two weeks after a suspect was killed by officer gunfire in Centennial, the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office had not yet confirmed whether the suspect was armed with a weapon or whether he fired a gun at deputies, only saying in a news release that he refused to obey deputies’ orders and “presented a deadly threat to the deputy and was

subsequently shot.�

Steven Edward Ferguson, 31, pointed a CO2 pistol, or “air� gun, toward Deputy James Stiltner before Stiltner shot him at a Days Inn on May 28 when deputies surrounded a stolen vehicle Ferguson was driving, according to a review of the incident dated June 12.

Ferguson’s gun was capable of firing BBs and .177 caliber pellets, and the gun was loaded with .177 caliber pellets, according to the review by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. It concluded that the use of deadly force was justified.

Authorities choosing not to specify the deadly threat in the days after the shooting differed from how the sheriff ’s office had handled information

on officer-involved shootings in recent years. For example, after a June 2018 shooting in the 6300 block of South Olive Street in west Centennial, and after a November 2018 shooting at East Arapahoe Road and South Dayton Street, the office confirmed within days that the suspect fired a gun or that a gun was near the suspect at the time.

When a deputy shot a car-theft suspect near South Parker Road and East Fremont Avenue in the east Centennial area Jan. 22 this year, the office released that the suspect — driving a vehicle — rammed nearby cars as deputies approached and that a deputy became pinned between the vehicle and another car. That information

also came out within days.

George Brauchler, district attorney of the 18th Judicial District, “has asked (Arapahoe County) Sheriff (Tyler) Brown and his team not to release additional information while the investigation into the legality of the shooting is underway by an independent agency as outlined� in the protocol for such investigations, said Vikki Migoya, spokeswoman for the DA’s office.

In an interview with Colorado Community Media, Brauchler said his office’s instructions likely weren’t in regard to the nature of the deadly threat specifically.

Road-rage car crash damages Englewood Police HQ No injuries, minor damage to police property

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A road rage-fueled car chase between a 28-year-old woman and a man ended at the Englewood Police Department headquarters, damaging a security wall and a lamp post the evening of June 24 near the parking lot, according to police.

The incident began near West Dartmouth Avenue and South Elati Street, said Investigator Scot Allen, a spokesman for Englewood Police.

The woman, identified as

Erika A. Boudreaux, was following the man, who drove to the police headquarters about a mile to the south, according to Allen. As he pulled up to the station, she rammed his car, and when he got out, she attempted to run him over but hit the lamp post, according to Allen.

The crash occurred around 7 p.m., according to Allen. The police headquarters sits at 3615 S. Elati St, just south of West Hampden Avenue.

The female fled on foot and was arrested shortly after, according to a police news release.

Both vehicles were damaged, and the man was not injured, Allen said. It appeared that the woman wasn’t hurt either, Allen added.

Boudreaux was held on

suspicion of attempted first-degree assault, criminal mischief, menacing, driving under the influence, reckless driving, and driving while her license was suspended or revoked, according to the release.

The man is not being charged with any crime, Allen said.

Allen did not know if the two are known to each other or what led to the road rage.

Police personnel observed the situation on camera footage, and it appeared that the man couldn’t access a phone but was trying to get to the police station during the incident, Allen said.

Englewood police’s headquarters is relatively new and opened in spring 2019 at the same location as the old one.

to install the equipment by the first quarter of 2021.

Denise Maes, public policy director for the ACLU of Colorado, said the community has always asked for body-worn cameras. She said the equipment increases transparency and accountability and added that individuals act better when they are being filmed.

“It’s always good for police departments to look at their practices and procedures to make sure they are aligned with acceptable practices and not consistently involved with officerinvolved killings. It’s always good to look at these techniques,” said Maes.

“They might be because police officerinvolved killings are a little more prominent in the news, but I think it’s always good to look at (practices and procedures).”

Englewood Police had a policy in place before Senate Bill 217 that banned the use of chokeholds and strangleholds unless deadly force was justified.

Instead, the department trains its officers to use Krav Maga — a form of self-defense that combines techniques from karate, wrestling, boxing, judo and aikido — as an arrest control discipline. “(Chokeholds) are not a technique that have been taught in Krav Maga, and it’s not something in my time here that we have been trained on,” said Read.

Englewood Police routinely cover proper holds and restraints, to include escorts and takedowns along with de-escalation techniques, handcuffing and scenario-based training.

As required by the state, Englewood Police participate in anti-bias training every five years through the Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training.

The department is set to participate in the training again in 2022.

“We all have implicit bias — whether we think we do or don’t. Recognizing those and worrying about those make us better police officers,” said Read.

Englewood Police’s anti-bias and community policing training covers topics like multi-cultural communities, how the community and police can do community policing together, and tragedies and image problems.

Englewood City Councilmember Cheryl Wink, who is Black, said she is confident that what happened to George Floyd wouldn’t happen in Englewood. Wink pointed to how Englewood doesn’t use chokeholds as an example for her reasoning.

In 2018, Wink participated in the Citizens Academy — a nine-week Englewood Police Department program that is designed to provide citizens with an overview and knowledge of police operations.

While participating in the program and being on Englewood City Council, Wink said she learned Englewood Police go above and beyond to serve the community.

“We have a police department that actually cares. I think they are a team of stand-up human beings,” said Wink.

The department is working to implement a restorative justice program — a system of criminal justice that focuses on the rehabilitation of offenders through reconciliation with victims and the community at large, according to city documents.

“We don’t condone what happened in Minneapolis. That is not a technique we would ever teach our officers to use or approve,” said Read. “Simply put, as police officers and as a profession, we can always get better whether because of Minneapolis or something else. We can always better ourselves.

We’re human, we’re not perfect. And the more training we do makes us better police officers.”

Downtown development authorities are described in the plan as being quasi-public agencies that provide both organization and financing for redevelopment projects that focus on the downtown’s vitality and attractiveness. They are funded through tax increment financing funds that are produced by the anticipated increase in sales and property taxes in a downtown district and through financial contributions from businesses.

In order for Englewood’s downtown development authority to become a reality, commercial property owners and business owners in the downtown area will vote in November on Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights related finance questions regarding whether to authorize the downtown development authority to utilize sales and property tax increments, impose a mill levy of up to five mills and issue debt.

Amy Gallegos has owned the optometrist center Eye Logic at 123 W. Hampden Ave. for 15 years. She previously sat on the board for the Alliance for Commerce in Englewood, a group that links the city and Englewood businesses by working to improve communication, enhance the image of business districts and providing input on issues of economic impact.

Gallegos is part of a steering committee that is responsible for providing regular updates to Englewood City Council about the Downtown Matters Plan.

She said she has never seen the kind of energy and enthusiasm among Englewood advocates toward the plan and welcomed the idea of forming a downtown development authority.

“I think it’s imperative if we’re try-

Gallegos stressed the importance of bringing affordable housing to the city because she said residents who work for an Englewood business don’t live in the city anymore because of cost of living.

RENTCafe, an apartment search website, estimates that the average rent for an apartment in Englewood is $1,616.

One of the goals of the Englewood Downtown Plan is to explore ways to attract new housing that is attainable for downtown employees and business owners. The plan envisions the downtown development authority being able to provide gap financing for residential or commercial development.

“I am hopeful that (talks about affordable housing) don’t get lost.

If we’re not taking care of the (employees) who are getting us there, (the plan) won’t be successful,” said Gallegos.

The Downtown Matters Plan contains short-term priority goals to help support existing Englewood businesses who were impacted by the pandemic. Among those goals are: • Providing information and access to local, state and federal assistance to businesses, • Helping businesses adapt to evolving health restrictions, • And carrying out marketing and promotional efforts to promote local business and draw residents to downtown Englewood as public health confidence grows.

“Small businesses have been particularly affected by the current crisis.

The Downtown Matters Plan is an important part of our strategy to recover and move toward long-term prosperity for our business community and our city as a whole,” said Englewood City Manager Shawn Lewis in a statement.

The Downtown Matters Plan says that the proposed downtown development authority could help fill vacant storefronts with uses like pop-up art galleries, pop-up retail concepts and office space.

The South Broadway area will soon be home to the office of Core Consul-

tants, a firm that offers engineering, natural resources, land surveying, permitting and development services.

It plans to leave its Littleton office and bring its 65 employees to Englewood in late August or early September, said Blake Calvert, president and CEO of the firm.

Calvert, who is on the steering committee for the Downtown Matters Plan, said Core Consultants outgrew its Littleton office. But despite that, the firm wanted to stay near the suburbs and felt the South Broadway area gave its employees a chance to work in a walkable community.

“From day one, our business model was whenever we need any kind of vendor, restaurant services for client luncheons or any kind of services we need for our business — we turn to our neighborhood. We’re a small business, and we’re here to support all of our neighbors too,” said Calvert.

The Downtown Matters Plan aims to improve mobility and transportation throughout the city. One of the strategies it wants to carry out to achieve that goal is to complete an east and west bicycle and pedestrian priority corridor between Englewood Station and the city’s medical districts where Craig Hospital and Swedish Medical Center reside. The corridor would focus on Old Hampden, Englewood Parkway, Floyd Avenue and Girard Avenue.

Other ambitions of the Downtown Matters Plan include goals to make design and safety improvements to existing public spaces and to create new public spaces within downtown Englewood. One of those improvements could be renovations to the existing creek and plaza area at Broadway and Hampden.

The public can read the draft of the Downtown Matters Plan until July 15 by visiting englewoodco.gov/downtownmatters. The final version of the plan is expected to be released by the end of July.

“I think we’re on the cusp of something really unique being created and a unique foundation being created,” said Calvert.

‘Whatever the good version of a perfect storm is, it happened to happen here due to COVID.’

FROM PAGE 2

“I can’t imagine we would drill down into a specific fact, like don’t release this fact or this fact,” he said.

The only aspect of the May 28 incident that might make it different from other officer-involved shooting cases is that the suspect was armed but with an “air” gun, Brauchler said. The gun appeared designed to be unmistakable from a functioning firearm, according to the review.

It’s typical for the DA’s office to advise the sheriff ’s office to wait until the formal review of the shooting is released before putting out certain information, Brauchler said. But he added that he’s never been specific enough in his guidance to say not to release the nature of the deadly threat, he said. The DA’s office doesn’t directly control what information the sheriff ’s office releases, Brauchler said.

The sheriff ’s office’s policy says certain information can be withheld from the news media “in order to protect the constitutional rights of the accused, to avoid interfering with an investigation or because it is legally privileged.”

“In this case, we were protecting the integrity of the investigation, which is why we didn’t release the

George Brauchler, district attorney of the 18th Judicial District

offices about why the deadly threat was not yet public knowledge.

Brauchler chalked up the fast release to different factors specific to the incident, including that it occurred during policies fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic, which have changed work flows in the judicial district.

“Whatever the good version of a perfect storm is, it happened to happen here due to COVID,” Brauchler said, adding that some staff are more accessible due to the slowdown or halt of certain proceedings such as jury trials. Investigators assigned to the incident likely also had more time to devote to putting out the review — in other circumstances, they might be tied up with more work on other cases, Brauchler said.

exact information about the weapon,” said Ginger Delgado, sheriff ’s office spokeswoman.

Usually takes months The release of reviews into officerinvolved shootings in recent years usually has taken several months in the 18th Judicial District, which includes Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. It has been known to take a month or more in nearby judicial districts as well.

In the past two years, the release of most of the reviews in the 18th Judicial District has taken roughly between four and seven months.

In this case, it took just a few weeks. The quick release followed questions from Colorado Community Media to the sheriff ’s and DA’s

Other factors that can lengthen the time a review takes: If the person who was shot is alive and needs to be interviewed, the wait time for forensic evidence, and the availability of witnesses, Brauchler said.

Toxicology and ballistics didn’t play as big a role in this case, and having body-camera footage was “a difference maker,” he said.

“If this were February, I don’t think we could have gotten it done this quickly,” Brauchler said.

Brauchler pointed out that the DA’s office was posting the reviews its website before state law began requiring it in recent years.

“If I had my druthers, I want them all to be this straightforward and this efficient, but there are just realities, especially when we’re firing on all cylinders, that there are delays,” Brauchler said.

Investigation process The 18th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team — a group of law enforcement officials from nearby agencies other than the sheriff ’s office, such as from Parker and Greenwood Village — were at the scene May 28 investigating the incident, as is usual policy for officer-involved shootings in the judicial district.

The role of the Critical Incident Response Team is to investigate the use of force by deputies and present its findings to the district attorney.

Reverse Mortgage: The Lifesaving Help You’ve Been Looking For

by Matt Witt

I

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income?

Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the lifesaving help you have been seeking.

With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can pay off your current mortgage, eliminate your monthly mortgage payment* and get the budget breathing-room you need. Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that would normally only be accessible if you sell. However, with a reverse mortgage, you can access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get cash and make life a little easier.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity. Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage, aging-in-place is possible!

Call me today at 720-458-4034 to see if a reverse mortgage is right for you.

Colorado officials warn COVID-19 could surge again Governor cautions against large crowds on Fourth of July

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Pointing to worrying COVID-19 trends in neighboring states and an outbreak of cases following Boulder college-area parties, Gov. Jared Polis implored Coloradans to take caution with a baseball metaphor.

“Our ability to open schools, our ability to keep our economy going, really relies on people making the right choices. So far you have! So far you have,” Polis said at a June 18 news conference. “As I said, we’re one run up, you know? We’re still in the fifth or sixth inning here — we’re one run up. But yes, the bases are loaded.”

In the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, Colorado has “runners on base in Utah and Arizona,” where the virus’ spread has turned more dire, Polis said.

“It really depends on our behavior here in the next few weeks and months,” the governor added.

Polis’ uncharacteristically worried tone found more support in data later at a June 24 news conference, when he highlighted outbreaks around the state.

In roughly one week in June alone, Boulder County saw more than 100 new cases, largely linked to graduating college seniors — and Polis warned the situation could balloon if Coloradans don’t wear masks and take caution in public.

“We are starting to see new outbreaks in different parts of the state: San Luis Valley, El Paso County, Boulder County, San Miguel County. We’re also watching Eagle County very closely,” Polis said, adding that “all of our gains could be reversed very quickly if we’re not careful.”

The same day as Polis’ news conference, state officials said that 324 additional people had tested positive for coronavirus in Colorado, the biggest one-day total since May. A key test for the state will be how Coloradans handle the Fourth of July, and Polis emphasized the importance of treating it differently than many Americans approached Memorial Day weekend.

“We don’t want our Fourth of July holiday in Colorado to be what Memorial Day weekend was in Arizona and Florida and lead to a renewed round of 20 times the level of virus, where you get to the point where it could be overwhelming our health care facilities,” Polis said June 24.

More young people infected The governor brought in Rachel Herlihy, state epidemiologist, to explain the changing trends in the virus’ spread. Since Colorado’s COVID-19 peak in mid-to-late April, officials have seen a steady decline in hospitalizations, deaths and cases, Herlihy said.

But after the week of June 7 — which saw the lowest number of cases in months — the week of June 14 showed an uptick, Herlihy said.

And the disease’s reproductive number — sometimes written “R0” and pronounced “R naught” — has risen dangerously close to where

Colorado’s progress would reverse.

The number represents the average infections generated by each COVID-19 case, meaning if the number sits below one, the number of new cases per day is declining.

The reproductive number had fallen from about four in March to below one, but now, it sits at about 0.96, Herlihy said on June 24. That means the virus’ spread could soon ramp up again.

The lion’s share of COVID-19 deaths has occurred among older Coloradans, but since the peak, the average age of Colorado’s cases has declined — which means the disease is spreading in younger populations, Herlihy said.

“For people that are in their 70s, almost half will need to be hospitalized who contract this virus,” Polis said. “For people in their 20s, it’s still about 1 in 15 to 1 in 20 that need to be hospitalized.”

Moreover, Polis asked 20-somethings living with parents in their 60s: “Are you also willing to have that 1-in-3 chance that your parents will be hospitalized?”

Protests’ impact Polis supported the motivation behind recent Denver-area protests — a reaction to the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, which sparked nationwide unrest — but he worried about their effect on the virus’ spread. Demonstrations continued throughout the Denver metro area for weeks, bringing thousands in close contact.

“Health experts tell me (the protests) could result in hundreds of new cases,” Polis said in a June 2 news conference.

Polis didn’t characterize the protests as playing a large role in Colorado’s June outbreaks, saying “there’s some evidence that” some of the people involved in the Boulder outbreak attended marches.

“We don’t necessarily have that same information from Denver,” Polis said June 24. “We believe it was associated with large get-togethers and parties.”

For some areas, a turning point The outbreaks come at a critical juncture for the state as it nears its third phase of social distancing policy, which officials dubbed “protect our neighbors.” The first two phases were the stay-at-home and current safer-at-home orders.

Under the “protect our neighbors” phase, some parts of the state could allow “all activities to occur” at 50% capacity, with up to 500 people in one setting and at least 6 feet between non-household members, according to information the state has released about how the rules could shape up. The phase could be implemented in some counties by around early July, Polis has said.

Over time, that 50% threshold could even be increased if COVID-19’s spread doesn’t worsen in a region, Polis has said.

To enter the phase, according to a draft framework, communities must meet scientifically established thresholds of: • Low disease-transmission levels.

• Local public health agency capacity for testing, contact tracing and outbreak response.

• Hospital ability to meet needs of SEE WARN, P7

all patients and handle the surge in demand for intensive hospital care.

When questioned about whether the state should continue to relax its restrictions, Polis has emphasized that not all parts of Colorado will move to the new phase at once. “If Boulder were to fail to contain the virus at the student level� and it spread, “that community would likely need to take additional steps before it expanded to additional communities,� Polis said June 18.

The “protect our neighbors� phase puts a large focus on local public health agencies’ preparedness to handle outbreaks. “We are in regular contact with every county health department,� Polis said.

Earlier in June, Polis pointed to a likely “second wave� of the virus’ spread in the fall, according to the state’s modeling. The flu season’s overlap with the pandemic is expected to impact hospital bed capacity, the governor has said.

Gov. Jared Polis announced on June 4 an executive order that explicitly gives businesses the right to refuse service to anyone not wearing a mask. “This protects our individual rights and our rights of businesses to deny service. Because our businesses — the people who work there, the other patrons — they should have a right to be protected from those who refuse to take the commonsense step of wearing a mask,� Polis said at a news conference.

Measures such as mask-wearing are imperative “if we want to avoid a catastrophic breach of our health care system� and fully open Colorado’s economy, Polis said.

The June 4 executive order allowed businesses to refuse to admit or serve — and require the removal of — anyone who doesn’t wear a face covering. It was to be applied in a manner consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other relevant federal or state law, the order’s text says. Its language was reiterated in another executive order dated June 20. “It’s fine for businesses across our state to say no shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service, if they choose,�

Polis said.

WHAT’S STILL CLOSED IN COLORADO? As of the state’s June 18 update to the safer-at-home order, only a handful of spaces are still required to be closed statewide.

They include establishments primarily based on smoking, such as cigar and hookah bars and cannabis social-use businesses; amusement parks and arcades; and bounce houses and ball pits in any public or commercial venue.

Sporting events, except for recreational sports leagues, also are not authorized.

However, counties may apply to open those any of those establishments with a “variance,� or waiver, from the safer-at-home order.

Casinos recently were able to open after the state approved variances for Teller and Gilpin counties.

Horse races are treated as outdoor events and now can have participants and spectators based on outdoor event crowd limits. Offtrack betting can operate under the recent indoor event guidance.

Under the safer-at-home order, gatherings of more than 10 people in public and private spaces in general are still prohibited, except for in certain settings such as day camps and recreational sports leagues. Many types of events can include much larger crowds.

Houses of worship also may hold larger numbers of people with at least 6 feet between individuals or parties. A “party� includes members of a household who live together, the state’s guidance says.

Story sharing brings families together, even if apart

D

o your children and grandchildren know the story of how your parents met? How about your grandparents? There are many stories in your family just waiting to be remembered and shared, stories of LIVING & happy times, triumph, adventure, AGING WELL war stories, and love stories.

This is a great time to share Tiffany Curtin life stories with your loved ones, either during your phone calls or at home. Sharing stories can help you connect in stressful times.

One of the biggest challenges to connecting through story sharing may be getting started. For some, it may come naturally to just say, “Let’s all share a story about our lives and everyone participates,” but for many, this may present a challenge with not knowing what to talk about. Here are some ideas to help get you started.

Bring out the photo album. If you are staying with family members, invite them to come look through the albums with you. Pick out photos that bring up

memories for you. Are there funny stories that you have about any of the individuals in the photos?

Did you have a friend or sibling who was a bit of a troublemaker? Younger generations are more likely to have their photos on their phones. Invite them to share pictures of them having fun with their friends.

Is there something from your life that few people know about? Maybe engage the family in a round of two truths and a lie. If you are staying apart, this game can be adapted to be done over text messages.

Each person thinks of two things that are true of them and one that is completely made up. This should be challenging for people to guess and can lead to some great story sharing and usually a lot of laughs and an opportunity to share details of the story of some surprising truths!

Whether you are connecting on the phone or at home, start by inviting family members to think of questions they want to know about you that they never asked. For example, what is your favorite book and what do you have in common with one of

the character’s and why? What character do you most relate to? Return the favor of showing interest by asking questions in return.

Is there a story behind a favorite family recipe?

What are some treasured recipes in your family?

Perhaps you have a special holiday dish or dessert?

Whenever you are sharing stories with loved ones, try to remember to be open and honest, though a little embellishment on some details that may be blurry can also make it fun. Also invite the grandkids to participate with their stories and listen without judgment. What are you waiting for? Call your loved ones and start a new family tradition!

here is a quote that some of us may have heard before, and it is a quote that is often attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt. This is another of those timeless quotes that never WINNING seems to lose its relWORDS evance or significance.

“Small minds discuss people. Average minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideas.”

Let’s hit the pause button for a moment and allow that to sink in a little deeper, maybe even read that quote Michael Norton again. And as we think about it, can we reflect on our recent conversations and identify what we may find ourselves discussing most often?

Small minds discuss people. This is not saying that we shouldn’t discuss people.

talk about people. We can have incredible conversations when we are talking about people because there are so many awesome people in this world who are doing fantastic and amazing things. The problems begin to manifest when we talk poorly about people, especially behind their back. This can happen out of habit, a bad habit. It’s one of those habits that as Tom Ziglar says when reflecting on habits says, “The fastest way to success is to replace a bad habit with a good habit.”

And since the people in our lives are so important, why find ways or look for opportunities to speak poorly about them?

Average minds discuss events. There is certainly no shortage of events happening in the world today. It is almost impossible to have a conversation with anyone these days without discussing the meaningful events taking place, especially events that are happening in our communities.

hoosing a cliché carefully, this essay will probably fall on deaf ears.

After all, what would the Fourth of July be without QUIET DESPERATION fireworks?

For one thing: enjoyable.

Maybe this year it will be quieter than usual because of the coronavirus. Perhaps it will be louder for the same reason.

Craig Marshall At the age Smith of 8 or 9 I was taken to a community fireworks show in Birmingham, Michigan.

It made my head hurt. I couldn’t understand — and I still don’t — why loud noises entertain so many people.

Loud noises bother me, my dog, other dogs and pets, and many who suffer with post- traumatic stress disorder.

But if there’s one thing the coronavirus has reminded me, considering others is not always a top priority.

We are a ruder society than I ever imagined, and I was already starting out each day with a bowl of blueberries and pessimism before the pandemic.

Author Lynne Truss (“Eats, Shoots & Leaves”) calls this an

“age of lazy moral relativism combined with aggressive social insolence.”

Everyone saw the large gatherings without social distancing when gatherings were illegal, and large gatherings without social distancing when they became legal.

If fireworks were just a visual display, as is often the case in films when the floating materials are used metaphorically, I might be able to appreciate them.

But, truth is, they disturb the peace.

Lucky me: The curmudgeon lives near ground zero of the community’s obligatory fireworks display.

It used to be across town; now it’s out the back door.

Name another country that has the word “bombs” in its national anthem.

Take your time.

George Will wrote, “With everyone chatting on cell phones when not floating in iPod-land, this is a time of social autism in which people just can’t see the value of imagining their impact on others. We are entertaining ourselves into inanition.”

Whenever I read Will (he’s gone from The Denver Post), I kept a dictionary handy.

“Inanition” means “a lack of

mental and spiritual vigor and enthusiasm.”

Fireworks often exceed 150 decibels.

Boombox, ATV, motorcycle: 96-100.

Chain saw, leaf blower, snowmobile: 106-115.

Sports crowd, rock concert, loud symphony: 120-129.

The Who’s Pete Townshend said his doctor once told him, “Learn to lip read.” Townshend and AC/DC’s Brian Johnson have encountered some hearing damage because of their proximity to loud sounds.

Add: Ted Nugent, who said, “I’ve played over 5,000 concerts and have subjected myself via my mass cravings to massive sonic punishment.”

Johnny Carson would say, “You pay for your thrills.”

After I attended a concert at the Paramount years ago, I couldn’t hear

for the next 24 hours. I said “What?” a lot.

I have brought up my dislike of fireworks in the past. I know they will never go away because of anything I say about them.

Fireworks during a concert or after a game appeal to the “mass majority,” as I was once told by a disgruntled reader.

And they are synonym of the Fourth of July, annually my least favorite day of the year. And Harry’s.

One of my favorite quotes, attributed to German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (who looked like Charles Dickens’ model for Ebenezer Scrooge) said, “The amount of noise which anyone can bear undisturbed stands in inverse proportion to his mental capacity.”

Humbug.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Voting procedures scrutinized I read a letter to the editor last week claiming there was no fraud in mail-in voting. While that may be so, I have had personal experience with some deficiencies in our process that could allow for it.

My wife passed away in mid-January 2010. Her death was reported to the Social Security Administration and I went down to the Douglas County offices in Castle Rock to do the same about a month after her passing. At that time I filed an official death certificate with Douglas County.

Later on that year in October, 10 months later, I received a mail-in ballot from the county for her to vote. I was baffled that even after 10 months

her passing had not been processed by election officials to remove her from the current voter rolls. How widespread was this problem? I don’t know but it did happen.

Vote by mail and verifying voter status are not mutually exclusive choices. I like voting by mail much better than standing in line, but it needs to be a verified and reliable process. Asking voters to verify their address, identity, or status is not a hardship when today any doctor, dentist, DMV office or liquor store will ask for the same verification.

Voting by mail is fine, just keep it current, correct, and annually verified.

can bring praise from some or possibly draw the ire of others. Again, healthy discussions about an event are not what is considered average, healthy conversations about events would probably fall into the “great minds” category.

Sometimes what separates the average mind from the great mind is found in our ability to move the discussion beyond an event to a conversation around the impact of that event.

Great minds discuss ideas. When we can start having positive conversations about people, and healthy dialogue about the impact of the events happening around us, we enter a new realm of thinking and discussion. We now begin to discuss possibilities and solutions. Not every idea is a good idea, however great minds discuss possibilities and solutions with others to help distill what is good and can be acted upon to solve a problem. Discussing ideas also helps us to avoid the blame game. It’s easy to get caught up in the blame game when we are only talking poorly about people or negatively about events, whereas healthy discussions around ideas keep us far away from the temptation to blame anything or anyone.

So, what are we talking about?

More specifically what are you finding yourself discussing most often these days? A discussion could be in person, over the phone, or through the active posts and replies we are sharing through social media, email, or while we are texting.

If we do recognize that we could up our game when it comes to the discussions we are having, there is a trap that we should all try and avoid.

That trap is convincing ourselves that it is OK to talk about someone or some event in a negative way with our closest friends. That is a slippery slope and it usually doesn’t end there. The encouragement here is to shift our thinking so that no matter what we are discussing; people, events, or ideas, they are all positive and constructive conversations and exchanges.

Now, how about you? What are you talking about these days? More importantly, how are you talking about people, events, and ideas? I would love to discuss all of your great insights, thoughts, possibilities and solutions at mnorton@tramazing.com. And when we can make the shift to discussing ideas that bring resolution and solve problems, it really will be a better than good week.

LIFE

What Denver-area archivists are doing to protect the memory of this time

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

July 2, 2020J

hen six-year-old Noah Alpert decided to express his feelings about his life during the COVID-19 pandemic in a song, he never could have imagined that song would someday end up in the collection of a major historical museum.

Yet that’s just where it is now, thanks to a new effort underway at History Colorado to document the pandemic’s impact on Colorado that is finding material worth saving in the most unexpected places.

The Denver historical society, which operates the History Colorado Center downtown, launched its COVID-19 collecting project in late March, when it posted a message on its website asking Colorado residents to share stories about the experiences with COVID-19 with it. The post explained that the museum was giving residents a variety of means to do so ranging from answering a series of survey questions online to creating a journal and then submitting it to the museum.

Although the collection process (like the crisis itself) is still ongoing, senior curator Alisa DiGiacomo said several themes and commonalities have already begun to emerge from the impressive amount of material that has already been collected.

“It’s clear the commonalities as far as the people that have responded,” she said. “That feeling of isolation, which for the people who haven’t necessarily been directly affected is also mixed with gratitude as far as tragedy, but still who are in isolation and getting used to the new normal. We’ve also had interesting submissions from children, which it’s fascinating to see that perspective and to, for example, know that students miss school and that they now have a different perspective of missing what they took for granted and being in the classroom.”

That said, there are still some

perspectives that DiGiacomo feels still need to be brought into the growing collection.

“Part of what we know is missing is what I would call the more tragic stories whether it’s somebody that’s been directly affected by COVID or lost a family member or had financial hardship,” said DiGiacomo. “Those are some of the stories that we know will be coming but we know that it takes a little time.”

Closed signs collected History Colorado, however, will be just one of several institutions where future generations will be able to find documents and other artifacts from this current crisis.

At the Jefferson County Archives, archivist Ronda Frasier said her efforts have focused on county government communications related to the crisis.

“I have just been basically gathering and saving all of the communications that have been put out by the county commissioners and Jeffco Public Health,” said Frasier. “That includes both everything that has gone to the public as well as everything that has gone to employees.”

Just across the street from the History Colorado Center on North Broadway, the Denver Public Library has also been working to document the local impact of COVID-19, albeit by taking a slightly different approach.

After learning that History Colorado planned to focus on collecting journals and other oral histories, the library’s Western Histories and Genealogy Department decided it would work to document the impact on businesses by having staff go out in their own neighborhoods to take pictures of closed signs at local businesses from throughout the city. They also collected several take-out menus from restaurants that provide a different look at the impact on the restaurant industry.

“It was pretty ephemeral because most of those signs are now gone and those businesses are now open,” said Jamie Seemiller, the department’s Acquisitions Archivist. “So, it was just trying to document how that short time period affected neighborhoods and businesses in those neighborhoods.”

At the Golden History Museum and Park in Golden, curator Mark Dodge put out a call to the Golden communi-

DENVER AREA COVID-19 DOCUMENTATION EFFORTS History Colorado History Colorado is collecting journals, voicemails and other artifacts, with a focus on first-person narratives. Visit www. historycolorado.org/covid-19 for more information. Some documents have already been added to History Colorado’s online collection. They can be viewed at: 5008. ty asking them to consider and submit suggestions for how that museum should document the pandemic. Some of the suggestions have included N-95 masks, a copy of Jefferson County’s Public Health Orders and even hand sanitizer and toilet paper.

Dodge said in a post on the museum’s website that it has already added a homemade face mask, along with dozens of photos of downtown Golden taken on March 18, to its collection.

Colorado State University’s libraries, meanwhile, are focusing their collection efforts on documenting the impact of the pandemic on the school’s Fort Collins campus.

“We are interested in your stories about the shift to remote instruction and learning, studying and working from home, working at off-campus jobs, the impact of closing residence halls and other campus services, and the ways you and your friends and family are staying in touch during the pandemic,” reads a post on the library’s website.

In addition to collecting photos and signs to document COVID-19, Seemiller said the library has also aimed to document the historic Black Lives Matter protests that recently took place around the Colorado State Capitol just blocks away from the museum.

Protests also being documented One morning, a photographer visited the area around the Capitol before protesting had resumed to document the pro-Black-Lives-Matter graffiti that now covered the capitol and several surrounding buildings. Another staff member, who lives in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, later collected around 30 protest signs that will be digitized and made available online.

The library also has some videos of

Many of those materials have been published to its Digital Collections site at https://digital. denverlibrary.org/digital/. the protesting, although Seemiller said staff will blur out the faces of those captured on the video to protect their privacy.

Documenting the protests has presented particular challenges, Seemiller said.

“When we documented the Women’s Marches over the last few years, we had a table set up down there and we would tell people to donate their stuff and have them fill out our forms,” said Seemiller. “But this one moved so quickly that he kind of just found abandoned signs so we don’t always know the complete story behind each sign like we did with the Women’s March.”

The library’s archiving activities have also been further complicated by COVID-19 itself, which has kept staff away from their office’s since March.

Someday, researchers might examine the various COVID-19 collections being amassed across the state alongside institutions collections of material from the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, which tend to be more limited.

Seemiller said the library’s collection includes records of who died as well as obituaries.

History Colorado’s material, mostly consists of newspapers from the pandemic that are contained in its extensive newspaper archive. However, the museum also recently had the opportunity to acquire the trunk of a woman who died in that pandemic.

DiGiacomo, however, expects the museum’s COVID-19 collection to be much richer than its Spanish Flu collection for one key reason.

“The biggest difference is that we do not have material as rich as far as the first-hand experience as we have the opportunity to collect right now,” she said.

‘We will take what we can get’ Retired Denver Broncos spokesman talks significance of sports in city

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Denver is the smallest of the 13 U.S. cities with four professional sports teams in the National Football League, Major League Baseball, National Hockey League and National Basketball Association.

But is Denver really a sports city?

Let’s ask somebody who should know.

Jim Saccomano was born and raised in Denver. He went to Mount Carmel High School, has two degrees from Metropolitan State University of Denver and earned a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Colorado.

Saccomano worked as the public relations chief for the Denver Bears and was the highly respected Denver Broncos vice president of public relations for 36 years before retiring in 2013.

“It’s a knee-jerk answer, but sports are very important in Denver,” Saccomano said. “Sometimes we just get used to things and take them for granted. Like on those cool summer nights, I step outside on my deck and I say, ‘Oh, what a beautiful night this would be at Coors Field.’”

He added that people work hard, and that’s one reason sports talk shows are so big.

“People are driving home from work and they listen to those shows,” Saccomano said. “Then you come home, have dinner and sports are all on TV. It’s a diversion. Everybody works hard enough and it’s a wonderful thing for them to say, ‘Now, I’m watching my team.’ Sports are very important and I’ll be glad to have it back.”

Jim Saccomano served as the vice president of public relations for the Denver Broncos for 36 years before retiring in 2013.

PHOTO BY ERIC LARS BAKKE Saccomano believes sports — on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic — will be back in the near future.

“I just hope we play this fall and have fans when we can,” said Saccomano. “Right now, we will take what we can get. Everybody is going to have to adjust — the fans, the press, the teams, the players — and then we’ll see. It’s an adjustment for all of us and just shows us that nothing ever stays the same.”

Reminiscing on Denver’s sports history Saccomano — with a little encouragement — remembered way too much of Denver’s sports history to reminiscence in this column. But here are a few of his thoughts about baseball, onetime Broncos owner Gerald Phipps, erstwhile Broncos owner Edgar Kaiser and Broncos quarterbacks John Elway and Peyton Manning.

“Denver was always a baseball town,” Saccomano pointed out. “Den-

ver had a professional team in 1895.

You think about it, and how the heck are you going someplace in 1895? By wagon? Five guys in a wagon? Three miles seems like a pretty good trek on a wagon.”

Saccomano remembered being shown the newspaper when Denver became a Triple A franchise from the Western League.

“The headline type was so big, almost as big as ‘War in Europe Over,’” Saccomano said. He added that “baseball was big, and the dog races.

Sounds crazy now, but in the ‘50s, that was a really big thing. There wasn’t that much in Denver — the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo, and the Denver Bears, which were an affiliate of the Yankees and Tigers, and had great success.”

And what about the Broncos? Saccomano was once quoted as saying, “the Broncos are the state religion in Colorado and are the soul of the city.”

“When the Broncos came, I always felt historically that they were terrible,” admitted Saccomano. “Then in about 1964, they almost moved to Atlanta. The ownership group was going to sell to Atlanta, and then Gerry Phipps excuses himself from a meeting, goes across the street to a bank, borrows a million dollars and comes back and buys out his partners. Then Phipps owned the Broncos.”

Saccomano added that season tickets sales were in the 5,000-to-7,000 range.

“And then after a terrible year, when they didn’t move and were saved, there were 22,000 season tickets in (the) 35,000-seat Bears Stadium,” Saccomano said. “The Broncos just became enormous and set the stage for the Nuggets — which were originally the Rockets — and the other sports.”

Two other significant moves include owner Edgar Kaiser arranging the trade to get quarterback John Elway to Denver in 1983, and Elway enticing

quarterback Peyton Manning to play for the Broncos before the 2012 season.

“Kaiser deserves a lot of credit for what he did to get Elway,” said Saccomano. “Everybody was thinking he would be traded, but they were thinking Raiders and Al Davis, or the Chargers. That statue at the airport of Wally Schirra, no offense what so ever, but that could easily be John Elway. If you say Denver internationally, they say, ‘Oh Elway, Broncos.’”

Elway, as Broncos president of football operations, signed Manning as a free agent.

“I remember sitting in the press conference room,” Saccomano said, “waiting for the Manning press conference and Les Shapiro said to me, ‘You know, I’ve sat in this room for so many press conferences and I just can’t believe in a few minutes, Peyton Manning will walk in these doors.’”

Looking at sports down the road Saccomano says it will take some time for the Broncos, Nuggets, Avalanche and other sports to rebound from the problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It will be a big change, even more so because we will get used to watching games on TV,” said Saccomano. “It just makes it harder for everybody to get all those people back. It will take them a while to rebound. The Broncos are more like, to me, a big-time college program in terms of how the fans are to them. The Steelers and Packers are like us. They transcend everything and so do the Broncos. Good or bad.”

Saccomano added that discussions on tickets prices are “kind of like a two-edged sword.”

“Teams would like to raise them but it’s a terrible time to do that,” Saccomano said. “You probably have to say, ‘Welcome to 2021 and the ticket office is open.’ And for every ticket you sell, you say, ‘Thank you sir, thank you ma’am.’”

Breweries collaborate on new Golden-themed beer for charity Cans of Golden Strong Ale are being sold in 7 Golden taprooms

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

COVID-19 put a stop (for the time being anyway) to Collaboration Fest, the Denver area’s annual event that brings brewers from around the state together to create new beers. But it couldn’t squelch the spirit of collaboration that is at the heart of that event.

Instead, with the event put on indefinite hold, several Golden breweries decided to work together to create a new beer that would pay tribute to the city they call home while helping organizations that serve it.

The result is the Golden Strong Ale, a new Belgian Ale that is now for sale in specialty 16 oz. cans in several Golden brewery taprooms.

70% of the proceeds from the sale of the beer will go toward the Colorado Brewer’s Guild, the state’s nonprofit brewery trade association which says its mission is “to promote, protect, and propel independent craft breweries in [Colorado] through advocacy, com-

munity, education, and public awareness.”

Collaboration Fest is held each year as a fundraiser for Colorado Brewer’s Guild, meaning the organization has missed out on those funds so far this year.

“The Brewers Guild does so much to support Colorado breweries,” said Over Yonder Co-founder Ashleigh Bilodeaux. “They lost out on two major fundraising events due to COVID-19, and it was an obvious choice to give back to them with this collaboration.”

20% of the proceeds will go toward charities chosen by the breweries, including the Golden Backpack Program and the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, which is dedicated to protecting the rights of Black Transgender people.

The remaining 10% are going back to the breweries.

Prior to the stay-at-home order taking effect in March, several brewers from the participating breweries collaborated on recipe development and then met for a brew day at Over Yonder Brewing Company.

Before the stay-at-home order took effect, breweries collaborated on recipe development and convened for a brew day at Over Yonder Brewing Company. Several of the participating breweries also donated materials to

the project.

For example, New Terrain Brewing Company contributed canning materials while AC Golden Brewing Company donated grain from Root Shoot Malting and locally-grown hops.

Several other Golden businesses also contributed to the brewing effort.

Those included Propagate Lab, which supplied the yeast, and CODI manufacturing, which donated mobile-canning equipment that was used to fill cans with the beer.

The Golden Strong Ale, which has an ABV of 9.7%, is described its brewers as having a bold flavor with peppery notes of spices, pear, and banana. The liberal use of hops gives the beer a fruity champagne-like flavor balanced by a malty backbone and a dry finish.

“Golden has a surprisingly large and active brewery community,” said Alan Windhausen, the head brewer for Holidaily Brewing. “We’ve come together for pints and collaborations in the past, but this has been especially wonderful to see this Collaboration Fest brew turn into a city-wide project to support our beer family.”

Cans of Golden Strong Ale are being sold in all of the participating breweries’ taprooms, except Holidaily Brewing Company AC Golden Brewing Company.

A 16-oz. can of Golden Strong Ale. The cans, which depict South Table Mountain, are being sold at seven Golden breweries.

SHERIFF

ing chokeholds, a method in which a person applies pressure on the neck or throat to hinder breathing, according to SB20-217’s text.

It also bans “carotid holds” — pressure to a person’s neck on either side of the windpipe to stop blood flow to the brain via the carotid arteries.

The exception the sheriff ’s office makes — allowing chokeholds and carotid holds in deadly force situations — also is made in the new state law, according to Ginger Delgado, sheriff ’s office spokeswoman.

FROM PAGE 1

“We do have the use of tear gas, (but) that’s not something that we deployed when we were downtown,” Brown said during the June 22 question-and-answer session. “We don’t have pepper balls in our use of force — we don’t deploy those as a munition.”

The weeks of protests in the Denver metro area — along with unrest nationwide — served as a backdrop to the state legislature’s decision to retool police accountability in Colorado.

Senate Bill 20-217, signed

by Gov. Jared Polis on June 19, contains several reforms: mandated body-worn camera usage and disclosure of footage by local departments and the Colorado State Patrol, a ban on chokeholds, and the ability to sue officers directly for their conduct.

An amendment added in response to the protests places limits on departments’ use of chemical agents and projectiles when handling protesters.

“My plan is to implement as much as possible of this bill as we can as quickly as we can. We’re going to hit the deadlines, but some of those are pushed out for years,” Brown said. “I don’t want to wait years to have these things implemented.”

Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown in an Aug. 27, 2019, file photo.

The sheriff takes pride in his office’s steps over last five years to implement body-worn cameras for patrol deputies, and his office will equip investigators and command staff with the cameras, as the new law requires, according to Brown.

Brown also touted his agency’s willingness to hear input from the public and said if residents have further questions, “don’t hesitate to reach out to the sheriff ’s office directly.”

Chokeholds, ‘carotid’ holds Brown mentioned his disapproval when watching “the images of George Floyd and that 8 minutes …” in which the Minneapolis officer had his knee on Floyd’s neck.

Chokeholds and carotid restraints have been banned at the sheriff ’s office for years, unless deadly force is justified, Brown said.

“So they’re not part of our apprehension tech-

niques while we’re conducting an arrest for, say, shoplifting,” Brown said.

The sheriff ’s office’s policy, as of June 17, allows the use of deadly force if the officer has “an objectively reasonable belief that a lesser degree of force is inadequate” and believes that they or another person is in imminent danger of being killed or of receiving serious bodily injury.

The state’s new law prohibits officers from us-

Addressing biases City Councilmember Candace Moon, who is Black, asked the sheriff about addressing the “issue of racial profiling.”

“I will say from my own personal experience that at one time, it was a practice that we brought to the sheriff ’s office’s attention,” Moon said. Since then, “I haven’t experienced it in my family.”

The sheriff ’s office’s personnel undergo annual anti-bias training, Brown said, adding that Moon’s idea of bringing outside perspectives into the sheriff ’s office for training would be helpful.

“I can tell you that racial profiling as a practice at the sheriff ’s office is not accepted and will not be accepted,” Brown said.

Arapahoe County judge dismisses suit against assessor

BY MICHAEL KARLIK COLORADO POLITICS

The Arapahoe County assessor correctly calculated the tax revenue provided to the Aurora Urban Renewal Authority under the state’s tax increment financing law, an Arapahoe County district judge has ruled.

AURA sued Assessor PK Kaiser in 2018, believing that he should have frozen the base assessment value of properties subject to tax increment financing, rather than adjust it with every assessment cycle.

Tax increment financing is a tool

to encourage redevelopment by devoting increases in property tax revenues to the additional infrastructure and services that the project requires. In Colorado, the arrangement can last for up to 25 years.

While incremental revenues in Aurora’s 21 urban renewal areas go to AURA, property taxes derived from the base value go to the taxing jurisdictions — counties, school districts and special districts. Assessors are supposed to allocate to the incremental category any increase in value from actions that occurred because of urban renewal

activities. “[I]t is clear that Plaintiff AURA is in fact challenging the allocation methodology for TIF revenues,” wrote Judge Elizabeth A. Weishaupl, “and that the Defendant Assessor believes that in following [assessment procedures] he has immunity from these claims.”

Weishaupl explained that AURA admitted Kaiser followed the procedures in the Assessors’ Reference Library, which the state publishes.

She added that the court cannot “interfere with the statutorily mandated duties of the Assessor.”

The court granted summary

judgment to Kaiser, dismissing the claim against him.

“Assessor PK Kaiser states that his office will continue to work closely with all urban renewal authorities, school districts, other taxing districts, and taxpayers to ensure all state statutes and property tax laws are properly followed,” the county wrote in response to the decision.
