Wheat Ridge Affordable Housing Plan focuses on 80% AMI and up

Our in-depth look at the housing crisis

Approved earlier this month, the city’s plan mainly focuses on affordability for households earning upwards of $75,000

Wheat Ridge has adopted an Affordable Housing Plan for the city and created a specific fund to help with those plans. But as the City Council pointed out while approving it, the plan is guidance, with actual policy to still be decided on.

Though it is guidance, the plan lays out a foundation of Wheat Ridge’s priorities, and a few actionable steps the city could begin taking now.

These actionable recommendations in the plan are limited, but some are stated such as creating the Wheat Ridge Affordable Housing Fund — which the council approved on Jan. 9 — and hiring a housing staff member.

A higher priority actionable plan is to revise zoning for mixed-use districts and inclusionary housing.

The idea is that current mixed-use districts — which the report states were intended to be where “neighborhood-serving ground floor retail and commercial uses would coexist with residential uses — have “mostly produced market-rate housing

To our readers

BY LINDA SHAPLEY, PUBLISHER

If you’ve paid even just a little bit of attention to the news industry in the past decade, you know that it’s struggling. What you may not know is that community newspapers nationwide are closing at the rate of two per week.

The work of our journalists continues to be so critical for our society.

We’re dedicated to keeping your city councils or school boards accountable and informing you about businesses and groups that make your commu-

nity the great place where you have decided to live.

But the fact of the matter is, the materials that it takes to get a newspaper to your front door – the newsprint, the ink, the transportation fuel – have skyrocketed in cost.

So while it’s not in our nature to make essential news less affordable, we’ve come to the point where we must raise our prices. Beginning March 1, the price of a subscription to any of our paid publications and for all-access digital will be $85 per year.

(We will still offer a discount for readers over age 65.)

At less than $2 a week, we believe that’s still a reasonable priceto pay for news you often can’t find anywhere else.

If you’re not interested in a subscription, consider a contribution to bit.ly/ give2CCM, or at the QR code on this page.

Local news is a public good. Raising these prices is how we’ll do even more for our communities in 2023. I am grateful for your support.

units,” not “true mixed-use outcomes,” and that creating a new zoning district as a tool for creating attached ownership housing would help resolve that. Adding an inclusionary requirement would additionally help “facilitate the delivery of some affordable ownership opportunities” in this district.

A legal tool to require developers to set aside a percentage of units as “affordable,” inclusionary housing is a major tool the report suggests, but this only helps households earning 80% of the Area Median Income or above — about $75,000, the report states.

“We’re not talking about something like 30% of all your units have to be affordable to 40% AMI households, we’re talking about something we’re fairly certain can be absorbed in most developers’ portfolios,” Director of Operations and Special Projects at czb, the consultancy agency that created the report, Eric Ameigh said in a Dec. 5 study session. “That’s how we get to, what I think we put, at 10% of units at about 80% AMI. We’re fairly confident that can be absorbed in most of these projects.”

The balance, as the report explains, is being sure the percentage of units and AMI expected is not “overly onerous,” so projects being aimed at for this inclusionary housing still maintain “financial viability for the developer.”

The report defines 80% AMI as $75,000, with an assumption of a four-person household accord-

ing to the appendix, but $75,000 is actually closer to 60% AMI for a four-person household according to that same appendix and the 2022 Income and Rent Limits for the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metro area the report pulls the information from. $75,000 as 80% AMI is closer to the median owner income in Wheat Ridge as well, which the report states was $90,922 in 2020.

Ignoring the AMI discrepancies, this actionable plan of revising mixed-use districts and applying inclusionary housing only focuses on helping owners with affordability as it’s meant for attached ownership housing, of which 24% of owners are cost-burdened in Wheat Ridge compared to 51% of renters, according to the report.

Affordable, in all these contexts,

is defined as paying less than 30% of household income on housing — cost-burdened households paying more.

Other actionable plans are more technical, such as code amendments that would reduce fees or expedite review processes for projects that have an affordability component. But, most aimed directly at income levels benefit only households earning $75,000 and up, as per the report’s aim for inclusionary zoning.

The only actionable plan aimed at households with incomes below $75,000 — the vast majority of renters in Wheat Ridge — is a Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing Preservation Program. “Naturally occurring affordable housing” is due to “aging and declining quality,” according to the report. The plan’s

concept is to provide grant funding to landlords to upgrade units in exchange for keeping rents affordable.

The report also highlights four “opportunities” for the city — not necessarily immediately actionable steps the city could take, but avenues the city could pursue that could lead to more affordable housing.

One of those opportunities includes the NOAH program, while the only other that includes renters below $75,000, and only touches on them, explores the need for building more multi-unit complexes.

The report elaborates that market-rate of these types of units, due to development costs, “are likely affordable, on average, only to households with incomes above $100,000.” It suggests inclusionary zoning as an affordable solution to this — which, again, aims only towards households with incomes $75,000 and up, of which the vast majority of cost-burdened Wheat Ridge residents fall below that bar.

It further suggests subsidies from the city if it “desires deeper affordability aimed at lower-income households.”

The development costs the report refers to are a major factor in the cost of new rentals and ownership, which it elaborates have limits to how far they can be lowered to achieve affordability.

“The only thing we can be sure of is that costs that contribute to housing costs are not likely to fall off so dramatically that all of a sudden we get this big sense of relief,” explained Ameigh in the same study session, looking at the costs SEE PLAN, P3

of putting a two-bedroom unit into operation and how those costs have grown this past year.

One direction the city can take to assist, the report states, is increasing the allowed units per acre. Building only 24 units on a four acre site, it uses as an example, would bring the land cost per unit to $250,000, compared to 160 units on a four acre site costing only $37,500 per unit.

“As the land cost per unit falls, so too does the total cost of producing the unit,” the report explains, lowering prices.

The other main “opportunity,” and high-priority actionable plan, concerns the city’s involvement with the future of the Lutheran Legacy Campus. The campus consists of Lutheran Medical Center — owned

by SCL Health, a nonprofit, faith-

based health system — and the organization building a new facility, planning to vacate its current 100acre campus.

The report recommends the city stay involved with the redevelopment plans of the site as its involvement will be required for “rezoning, infrastructure investment” and more, as well “a once in a generation redevelopment opportunity, likely to include a substantial amount of new housing.” It would also allow the city to “make clear its expectation” that a significant amount of the redevelopment be affordable housing.

The “target market” for this redevelopment, according to the report, is households with incomes $75,000 and above.

Also included in the report are “policies,” which “connect longstanding City goals to action steps,” and “principles,” that act as “a set of high-level rules that reflect both the community’s values and aspira-

tions, as well as its economic, political, and fiscal realities.”

These policies include supporting the development of housing for people in various stages of life, avoiding economic and income segregation, and diversifying the city’s housing stock. The report also highlights the city’s intent to support “public, private, and nonprofit organizations developing affordable housing in the city,” and financial incentives to projects to require affordable housing be included.

“What we’re looking at is a document that’s giving us recommendations on a direction to go, and a lot of the things we’ve been talking about tonight are the policy conversations that are going to follow,” Council member Rachel Hultin said. She continued that the work falls on the council to do more detailed policy work if they like the guidance of the document, which the council did adopt.

As for the household incomes

the report focuses on, Ameigh explained during the study session that the “gap between what the households below $50,000 can pay, and what it costs to build housing, or even preserve housing, is large.

So, that per unit gap is pretty substantial.”

He continued that their general thinking was that if the city had the opportunity to impact directly, like with the NOAH program, it would.

Otherwise, the city would probably be supporting affordable housing providers and housing authorities, as “those incomes really demand a level of subsidy that comes from other places.”

“The city itself is probably not going to play deeply in that space,” he said. “Doesn’t mean it isn’t going to have a role to play in supporting projects that can leverage those subsidy sources, but it would be the place where you would be more in a supportive role, more of a responsive role…”

As Usual, This Year’s CES Show Featured Some Exciting New Home Technologies

Formerly called the Consumer Electronics Show, CES 2023 made headlines in January for its focus on electric vehicles and EV technology, but it also featured several homerelated technologies and products which made headlines at Realtor Magazine. Here are the magazine’s Top 10 innovations: First was LG’s ArtCool Gallery, a wall A/C unit disguised as a framed photograph or artwork provided by the user.

In 2022, I showed a Willow Springs listing which had this kind of wall unit in various rooms of that one-story home.

Here’s a picture from that listing. The picture next to the window is the unit.

Curiously the listing agent didn’t state on the MLS that this was a heat pump.

I don’t think the units in that listing were from LG, since the LG website shows availability and price of theirs as “TBD.” Such units are clearly driven by a heat pump, but nowhere on LG’s website could you find the words “heat pump,” instead referring to outdoor “dual inverter units.” I find this peculiar since heat pumps are suddenly the rage.

The website also did not mention the substantial tax credits or rebates now available for heat pump installations.

Second was Kohler’s “Sprig Shower” device, coming this spring, which infus-

es a shower’s water stream with scents and oils. Kohler will initially offer six different scent pods, including lavender, chamomile and eucalyptus. The unit will cost $119, and a 6-pack of singleuse pods will cost $21.

If you’re looking for an interesting alternative to stainless steel, you might be interested in LG’s new MoodUp Refrigerator, which can display 190,000 different color combinations on the LED screens on its front doors. Meanwhile, Samsung is bringing to market this spring its “Bespoke” refrigerator which has no handles. The two doors open by touching them.

For $6,500, you can replace your home’s front door with Masonite’s “MPwr Smart Door,” which incorporates a downlight and two side lights which turn on when you approach it and both a smart lock and Ring video doorbell. It is connected to your home’s electricity, but includes a battery backup so you can still get in if there’s a power failure.

For $11-17,000, you can replace your staid old bathtub with Kohler’s Stillness Infinity Experience, which brings a “Zen-like, multi-sensory experience,” combining water, lighting, mist, essential oils and soothing sounds. Water cascades over the top into a wooden moat, from which it is filtered and pumped back into the tub. I’ll pass on this one!

Is pushing buttons or using a key too much effort for you?

For $189.99, you can buy Lockly’s “Flex Touch” fingerprint deadbolt, shown here.

It takes over 400 such tires to provide the rubber for a typical roof.

Real Estate Market Is Showing Signs of Revival

Here at Golden Real Estate, we have some anecdotal evidence of a resurgence in the real estate market, which was moribund in December.

On Saturday, Jan. 7th, I held a 2-hour open house at my listing on Bates Avenue.

My previous open house at that listing had drawn not a single visitor, so I was quite surprised to have 10 sets of visitors that day. All of them were actual buyers, not lookie-loos.

I immediately decided to hold it open This rare ranch-style home with a southwestern the following day, Jan. 8th, and once again feel at 634 Entrada Drive is on a mini cul-de-sac, it was my most visited open house in regiving it an oversized backyard with a water feature cent memory.

An open floor plan links the spacious living room to the kitchen over a breakfast bar. The living room has a gas fireplace. $775,000 There’s attractive use of glass brick in the dining room and kitchen and also in the garage. New carpet has been installed, making this home move-in ready. The walk-out basement is unfinished but with a half bath installed.

made to look like slate tiles, shown here, or wood shakes.

The roofing is sold and installed in the Denver metro area by Johnson Construction Company LLC, which you can reach at 303-719-7663, or via their website, which is www.RoofsByJohnson.com. A sales rep told me the cost is more than double, but the roof comes with a 50-year warranty against damage from up to 2” hail with no pro-rating and no deductible. The company replaced the roofs in Golden’s Amberwick subdivision after a 2017 hail storm. The roofs came through two subsequent hail storms without any visible damage.

I had four prospective buyers from those open houses and on Monday that home went under contract.

A second example of this resurgence came when broker associate David Dlugasch listed a 1960 brick ranch with walkout basement in south Golden/Pleasantview. (It was featured in our January 5th column/ad.) The listing drew 22 agent showings on the first three days, and it went under contract on Sunday at full price — $798,000, which I frankly thought was a reach.

Although anecdotal, these experiences give me hope for 2023’s real estate market.

with Christian because they didn’t think they needed to.

“And you know what, we never did.

And obviously, obviously, we should have, because we didn’t know … there was something to be scared of or that because they could be dangerous,” Sally said.

“We kind of hung our heads in shame”

A typical summer for the Glass family while Christian was growing up involved lots of summer sports and art camps, visits to family in England and evenings at home with friends and family.

“The boys would just play soccer, they play basketball or they play frisbee or they play chase. And so that was, often I would have to say, the summer evenings,” Sally said.

Sally remembers Christian playing tennis at a competitive level, so much so that he even blew out his knee at a young age. Simon recalls Christian riding his bike up and down a big hill in their neighborhood to visit friends.

“He really really loved his sports,” Sally said.

Summers will perhaps never be the same for the family, after former Clear Creek Sheriff ’s Deputy Andrew Buen was accused of shooting Glass five times in June 2022 after he phoned for help with his crashed vehicle in the small town of Silver Plume.

At 16, his car was his first real taste of freedom. At the age of 22, Christian Glass died in an event involving a former Clear Creek deputy on June 10, 2022 in the same Honda Pilot he drove on his 16th birthday.

The car that once symbolized freedom and joy to Glass became a place in his final moments of life where he was trapped and terrified at the hands of the officers.

His parents, Sally and Simon Glass, remember when their son first began driving.

“He absolutely loved it,” Sally said.

“I still remember thinking, ‘Gosh, why? It’s not that big a deal, we drive you everywhere anyway,’” Simon said. “But the difference is that he could stop off and go somewhere, or change his mind or whatever I suppose, and go to the mountains. He loved driving in the mountains.”

It is memories like these that both comfort and pain the Glass family.

Sally said she and Simon never had any conversations about the police

Simon from New Zealand gave them both different impressions of the police before coming to the United States. After this incident, they both said it would take a complete overhaul to restore a semblance of trust in law enforcement.

“I never thought the U.S. police were very nice anyway, but I didn’t realize they were totally untrustworthy,” Sally said. “So I think that on top of being deeply unpleasant and aggressive, I wouldn’t trust them and all Christian’s friends just said, never call the police.”

Despite the international attention Christian’s murder has garnered, Simon and Sally say they still have yet to receive a real apology from officers involved. Most of what they’ve heard has been statements from press releases expressing regret about the incident, but never taking responsibility.

“So they could, for example, come out and make a more, you know, say sorry, this is a real and full apology for what happened, which is a terrible abdication of their duty and a crime with law enforcement, people are committing crime and then covering it up,” Simon said.

“No one said sorry,” Sally said, tearfully.

news of their son’s death, they were led to believe he was the cause of the incident, provoking officers and inciting violence. The two were not only overcome with grief but guilt, too.

“We kind of hung our heads in shame,” Sally remembered.

Quickly, the parents felt they were missing parts of the story.

“I started thinking about it. And I was like, but, he’s never hurt anyone,” Sally said.

The family’s lawyers reviewed the bodycam footage and told the parents they believed Christian was not to blame for the incident, confirming the family’s suspicions.

The bodycam footage was released in September, and a vigil was held for Christian days later in Idaho Springs to call for action against police violence in Clear Creek County.

“No one said sorry”

The Clear Creek Sheriff ’s Office dubbing Christian’s death as “the June Incident” in a press release from Oct. 5 has been a painful and erasive gesture indicating failure of the system, according to the Glass family.

“The day that Christian Glass was killed, murdered, that’s ‘the June incident.’ That’s what happened. And so that’s really important to name it, you know, and to say his name, and to remember him as a life lost,” Sally said.

On Oct. 26 2022, the Fifth Judicial District Court announced the case would be presented to a Grand Jury.

During that time of year, Simon and Sally remember trick-or-treating with Christian and his sisters.

Jeffco Board of Education to decide on use of shuttered school buildings The future use of the 16 elementary school buildings being closed is still to be decided

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sixteen elementary schools will be closing after this school year due to a vote by the Jefferson County Board of Education in November.

With their closing, the future use of the school buildings is called into question.

Included in that November vote was a resolution from the Board

to create a community-involved process for giving recommendations on decisions involving the use of these buildings, according to Chief of Strategy and Communications for the District Lisa Relou. Part of that process is creating an advisory committee that includes District staff as well as additional specific ad hoc members based on the location of the building being considered, Relou said in a Board study session earlier this month.

According to Relou, there will be a “step-by-step process including value assessment, engagement with local municipalities and special districts, proposal collection, legal review and community engagement, all in an effort to make the best determination possible as to the future

of the property.”

The Board is the only body capable of declaring a building to be surplus, and therefore able to be sold by the District. Usage proposals from outside organizations are expected, and the committee — which will be decided upon by Feb. 1 — will draft a rubric to guide decisionmaking on these proposals by Feb. 21.

“This first process, we have this property, we’ve talked with the city, and now we’re going to have a public information session,” Relou said. “We might have an open house where it’s open most of the day where people can come in and see the property, and then we host a meeting where we give more information. And when we really

open this, we’re going to collect the intent to propose — just getting a sense of what people might want to do in these buildings.”

The next step after creating a rubric for these proposals will be March 1, when the Board studies the first round of properties that might be considered as surplus.

Next would be March 9, when the Board votes on that round of properties.

“We’re in the process of scheduling, reaching out to all our option schools to see what their needs are or desires might be, so that we are certain that we wouldn’t push things through the surplus process without first understanding if those particular things are of interest to our internal folks,” Relou said.

This year’s first rabid animal for the entire state was found in Jefferson County, in Morrison near West Belleview and Quincy Avenues. Jeffco Public Health announced that a skunk tested positive for rabies from an interaction at a private home on Jan. 2.

“While rabies cases are most frequently seen in warmer months, historically, Colorado does see some cases all year long,” Rachel Reichardt, environmental health specialist, said in a statement. “Last year in Jefferson County, there were 15 animals that tested positive for rabies, including eight skunks and

seven bats.”

Rabies is transferred through the saliva of infected animals — most often bats and skunks in Colorado — if it comes in contact with a person or animal’s eyes, nose, mouth or open wounds. The virus itself affects the nervous system and is considered fatal if not treated immediately, according to JCPH. As precautions, the JCPH suggests vaccinating pets and livestock against the virus, avoiding contact with wild animals — especially any acting unusually, teaching children to stay away from wild animals, strays or dead animals and if a person is bitten, to wash with soap and water and immediately seek medical attention.

Deadline approaches to submit designs for Lakewood’s reusable bag contest

On Nov. 23 2022, the Grand Jury brought down indictments against Buen and Gould, who were both subsequently let go from the Sheriff ’s department.

In Novembers past, the Glass family had tried their hand at the American holiday of Thanksgiving, mainly just feasting on turkey as a family.

ties appeared in court as defendants for the first time. Both were out on bond, and the hearing was to approve travel over the holidays for the defendants to see their family.

The Glass family explained to the judge that they too would love to spend time with their family over Christmas, but said the actions of the defendants made that impossible. The judge granted the defendants travel.

One Christmas years ago, Christian had to work on Christmas day at Starbucks. His family decided to come surprise him at work, and had Christmas dinner at the coffee shop.

“We actually went down on Christmas,” Sally said. “Because we wanted to be with him.”

Simon remembers the family ordering all sorts of seasonal drinks and treats while Christian worked behind the counter. Christian’s selfless spirit shined through even at his barista job, his parents said, as he worried about creating too much

work for his coworkers.

“He felt bad for the people he was working with because we all came in and ordered all these drinks and stuff,” Sally said.

The family now clings to memories like these, as they will be unable to make new ones with their son.

On Jan. 4, 2023, the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Department released an investigation into the body camera footage of Christian’s murder. The department found Buen’s actions to be unjustified.

Seeing another agency call out the actions of the officers involved in Christian’s murder was important to the parents.

“So it’s the first time that another agency has come out and said this is wrong. And … it’d be nice if the Clear Creek county department came out and said…” Simon trailed off.

Jan. 30, 2023 will be the next time the Glass family sees the former deputies in court. The hearing will

Lawmakers want to eliminate all carbon emissions by 2050

One of the boldest climate change and air pollution bills set for debate in the legislature this year would attempt to eliminate all of Colorado’s carbon emissions by 2050, set tough interim goals for greenhouse gas reduction, and try again for a 30% tax credit for clean electric lawn and garden equipment.

Denver Democratic Sen. Chris Hansen is sponsoring Senate Bill 16, which would also direct the state pension fund to use its shareholder rights to push climate change measures, officially classify sewageto-heat exchanges as clean energy sources and speed up improvement of transmission lines to boost renewable energy production.

It’s unclear how much support Hansen’s bill will receive from the Polis administration, which at times has been reluctant to add new air pollution provisions affecting private business beyond those under consideration by the Air Quality Control Commission. “The governor will review bills as they move through the process,” Polis spokesman Conor Cahill said.

The governor has veto power over bills his administration does not like, but the veto is rarely used. Power dy-

namics at the Capitol will be tested, with relatively liberal Democrats holding even larger majorities to pass legislation than they did in the 2022 session.

Environmental groups frustrated by the Polis administration’s lack of progress toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dangerous ozone hailed parts of the bill as doubling down on climate goals they say most Coloradans already support.

“It’s a really important bill,” said Heidi Leathwood, climate policy analyst for 350 Colorado.

Directives to the Public Employees Retirement Association “start the conversation on the state not sinking more of people’s retirement money into fossil fuel projects — investments that don’t fit with our climate goals and are already losing money for investors,” Leathwood said. 350 Colorado also supports bumping the 2050 greenhouse gas reduction goal to 100% from the current 90%, in line with international climate science recommendations.

With state officials acknowledging in late 2022 they were not on schedule to meet 2025 greenhouse gas reductions of 26%, delineating new intermediate targets before 2050 is “the best way to ensure we get SEE EMMISSIONS, P10

Denver bought one-way bus tickets for 1,900 migrants Where they went ‘I want to ensure that it’s doubly clear that each of these passengers have asked for assistance to get transportation to these destinations and we facilitated their trips by purchasing tickets.’

People who’ve arrived from the U.S. southern border hang out on bedrolls on the floor of a Denver rec center, the city’s second emergency shelter.

operation thrust the state into a national controversy that began last spring, when other governors began sending migrants around the country.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, sent thousands of migrants to Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York during the spring and summer. And on Christmas Eve, two buses dropped off about 100 people outside the home of Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington. The White House blamed the Texas governor, who said he was fed up with federal immigration policy. In September, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, also a Republican, spent state funds to round up about 50 migrants in Texas and fly them to the island of Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, calling it a relocation program.

Colorado officials have said they do not believe the migrants were sent here by any other state, but that they organized their trips based on information from nonprofits and fellow travelers. Word spread quickly that Denver, a socalled sanctuary city because local law enforcement does not cooperate with immigration officials seeking to deport people for not having required documentation, had warm shelter beds and food.

The migrant arrivals dropped off this week, down to about 50 people per day rather than more than 100 per day a couple of weeks ago.

Denver planned to begin dismantling the shelters, consisting of cots and mats in the city’s recreation centers, and asked more community groups to step up to house migrants.

About 500 people were sleeping in the city’s three shelters each

Denver spent nearly a halfmillion dollars last month buying one-way Greyhound bus tickets to other cities for 1,900 migrants who arrived here after crossing the U.S. southern border, according to data released Friday to The Sun by city officials.

The most popular destinations were New York and Illinois, but also Florida, Georgia and Texas.

The spending does not include tickets purchased by the city so far in January, or spending by the state, which paid for chartered buses for four or five days this month to send groups of migrants to other destinations, mainly New York City and Chicago.

Denver sent 399 migrants to Chicago and 345 to New York City in December. The city also sent 122 to Atlanta, 95 each to Miami and Orlando, and 68 to Dallas. In all for the month, the city spent $492,000 on bus tickets.

State officials have not yet responded to requests from The Sun for an accounting of the number of people taken to other cities on chartered buses.

Sending migrants to other destinations has been controversial.

The mayors of New York City and Chicago last week sent a letter to Colorado Gov. Jared Polis saying they “respectfully demand that you cease and desist sending migrants” to their cities. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and New York City Mayor Eric Adams said they had received hundreds of migrants from Colorado since December.

Polis said Colorado was stepping in to help people, mainly from politically unstable Venezuela, reach their final destinations, where he said they had family or friends.

He estimated 70% of migrants who arrived in Colorado during the past month were trying to get somewhere else. But he called off the chartered bus operations after talking to Lightfoot and Adams last week.

Denver officials, meanwhile, reiterated Friday that none of the migrants was asked to leave the city, which has been housing hundreds of people each night in three emergency shelters set up to handle the influx of newcomers, many of whom have arrived without warm clothing and wearing sandals. Since Dec. 9, more than 4,100 migrants from Central and South America have arrived in Denver.

“I want to ensure that it’s doubly clear that each of these passengers have asked for assistance to get transportation to these destinations and we facilitated their trips by purchasing tickets,” said Mikayla Ortega, a spokeswoman for Denver’s Office of Emergency Management, which is operating the emergency shelters.

intermediate targets before 2050 is “the best way to ensure we get there,” she said.

“We’re falling behind when it comes to meeting our current goals.

We need more investment,” Hansen said. The federal Inflation Reduction Act puts real money behind changes needed to make climate goals, he added.

“That has drastically lowered the price of climate tech across the spectrum,” he said. “So I think we really need state policy that’s going to accelerate and take advantage of that federal action.”

Hansen is one of dozens of candidates who have declared themselves for Denver’s spring mayoral race.

Lynn Granger, Midwest and Mountain West region director for the American Petroleum Institute, said the trade group is “generally supportive” of many elements of the bill, including a provision giving the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission authority to regulate injection wells for carbon sequestration. API said it is concerned, however, about one measure “which appears to compel PERA to divest from its energy investments.”

“Colorado remains an irreplaceable foundation of American energy security, and we are confident that the final iteration of this effort can coexist with that reality,” Granger said.

Hansen’s Senate Bill 16 is co-sponsored by Democratic Reps. Karen McCormick, Longmont, and Emily Sirota, Denver.

Some key measures of the multifaceted bill: • Sets new greenhouse gas reduction goals of 65% from 2005 benchmark levels by 2035, 80% by 2040, 90% by 2045 and 100% in 2050. The state’s current greenhouse gas reduction targets from a 2019 law are set at 26% in 2025, 50% by 2030, and 90% by 2050.

• Requires the PERA board by June 1, 2024, to adopt proxy voting procedures that “ensure that the board’s voting decisions align with, and are supportive of, the statewide greenhouse gas emission reduction goals.”

• Adds wastewater thermal energy to the definition of “clean heat re-

source.” Wastewater pipes can transfer their heat to clean water pipes that circulate to heat or cool ambient air in nearby buildings. A utility could include wastewater energy in its clean heat plan filed with the Public Utilities Commission. Gives the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission authority over injection wells used for sequestration of greenhouse gasses, in part to give state authorities “primacy” over federal rules for the Safe Drinking Water Act. • Requires local governments to expedite review of land use applications involving the renovation, rebuilding or reconditioning transmission lines.

• Beginning in 2024, insurance companies doing business in Colorado with more than $100 million of activity must participate in and complete a national “Insurer Climate Risk Disclosure Survey.”

• Creates a 30% tax credit for qualifying clean electric lawn and garden equipment like mowers, trimmers, and leaf or snow blowers. The retailer would be able to claim the credit and take the amount off the price at the point of sale.

With Colorado “off the track” of its greenhouse gas reduction goals, the bill could help in “clarifying the scope and pace the state must achieve,” said Michael Hiatt, deputy managing attorney for Earthjustice’s Rocky Mountain office.

“But to actually achieve these goals, Colorado must accelerate its actions on climate and fully utilize the new federal funding that will make it even more affordable for Coloradans to drive electric vehicles, install rooftop solar and energy efficiency measures, and stop burning fossil gas in their homes,” he said.

Jeremy Nichols, director of the climate and energy program for WildEarth Guardians, said “It’s encouraging to see legislative interest in reinforcing the need for major greenhouse gas reductions over the coming decades.”

3 lawmakers seek ban on ‘assault weapons’ Polis does not seem to be on board with plan

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Three Democratic state lawmakers are preparing to introduce legislation banning so-called assault weapons in Colorado in response to the mass shootings that have plagued the state.

But to get the bill into law they’ll need the signature of Gov. Jared Polis, who is already signaling that he’s not keen on the idea.

Polis refused on Jan. 17 to directly answer questions from The Colorado Sun about his views on the proposal. The Democrat said he is focused on strengthening the state’s red flag law, which lets judges order the temporary seizure of guns from people deemed a significant risk to themselves and others, and creating policy around “ghost guns,” which are home-manufactured firearms without serial numbers.

“We’re happy to discuss other ideas from Republicans and Democrats about how we can improve gun safety in Colorado and honor our Second Amendment rights as citizens of the United States of America,” he said.

Democrats in the legislature, who have historic majorities in the Senate and House, are planning

to 21 and enacting a waiting period between when someone purchases a firearm and can access the weapon.

The 2023 lawmaking term could be the most consequential in Colorado history when it comes to tightening the state’s gun regulations. And the changes could come despite the promise of a backlash from gun advocates. In 2013, Democratic lawmakers were punished after passing a slate of gun laws in the wake of the Aurora shooting. Voters successfully recalled two Democratic state senators, and a Democratic senator resigned to avoid being voted out of office.

It wasn’t until 2019 that Democrats began pursuing and passing gun control legislation again in Colorado.

With the political ghost of 2013 still looming, albeit not as large, over the Capitol, it’s unclear — beyond Polis — how much support there is among Democratic state lawmakers for a ban on what they call assault weapons. The idea has been swirling around the legislature for years but a bill has never been introduced because there hasn’t been the political will to pass such a measure Senate President Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, said during The Sun’s legislative preview event in the week of Jan. 8 that he would vote “yes” on a bill banning so-called assault weapons if given the chance. But he also said it isn’t the top gun control priority and that he worries it may “(make) us lose the message and maybe lose the argument around what effective gun violence prevention can be in Colorado.”

“Our job is to pass policy, not just support an idea or not,” he said. “I think there are some complications with exactly how to make that policy effective. Whatever we do in one state is not going to change what somebody does right across the

border. Is it at the very top of the list of what I think is the most effective policy we can pass to save lives?

Probably not. But with that said, again, I support it.”

There are three Democrats working on the bill: Reps. Andrew Boesenecker of Fort Collins and Elisabeth Epps of Denver and Sen. Rhonda Fields of Aurora. The measure will be introduced in the coming days or weeks.

Boesenecker told The Sun the week of Jan. 8 that he wasn’t ready to talk about the bill because the sponsors are still working on the policy. He said that a draft version of the legislation posted on Twitter

by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, a hard-line gun rights group, did not reflect changes that have been made to the measure.

Boesnecker explained that one key challenge in drafting Colorado’s policy compared with what has been done in other states is that the Colorado legislation can’t list specific makes and models of firearms that would be outlawed. The legislature has a policy against naming companies in legislation. Instead, he explained, the Colorado bill must describe firearm features to define the types of weapons that are and are not allowed.

Fields confirmed she will be a lead sponsor on the bill and said “we are still making adjustments.”

Epps walked away from a Sun reporter who tried to talk with her last week, saying she didn’t have time for a conversation then or in the near future. She also didn’t respond to two text messages Jan. 18 seeking an interview. Epps, however, recently tweeted a video of lawmakers in the Illinois legislature celebrating the passage of an assault weapons ban.

“You love to see it,” was her caption.

According to Giffords, a group that advocates for tighter gun regulations, there are fewer than a dozen states with so-called assault weapons bans. They include California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York.

Gun rights groups and Republicans are already lining up against the Colorado measure.

“Contact your Colorado lawmakers and urge them to VOTE NO!” Rocky Mountain Gun Owners said in their tweet leaking the draft version of the bill. The post called Boesenecker, Epps and Fields “tyrants.”

The Colorado State Shooting Association said in an email to supporters that they plan to file a lawsuit to invalidate the legislation should it be signed into law. The group said the legislation “only disarms and removes rights from responsible gun owners.”

(Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, a Democrat, told The Sun the week of Jan. 8 that his office is “committed to working with the legislature offering them guidance as to how to create laws that pass constitutional muster.”)

Democrats have large majorities in the House and Senate, and so they don’t need the GOP’s help to pass a ban on so-called assault SEE WEAPONS, P25

VOICES Help wanted: referees to get back in the game

V

isiting any business involves

walking by a “Help Wanted” sign. Sports officiating is facing the same human capital shortage across the United States. While sports officials don’t wear Help Wanted signs at games, maybe we should. Nonetheless, we need sports officials to officiate games and keep our young people involved in high school athletics.

Without sports officials, Friday night high school football and varsity basketball or soccer games could be in danger of slipping away.

Many things in our world are changing too fast. We need to keep educational-based athletics one thing the students, families and communities can depend on happening. Because of officiating shortages, we are seeing what was a community fixture of high school football, Friday Night Lights, become Thursday Night Lights and Saturday Afternoon Sunlight to get the games covered by referees. Moreover, myself and other referees work high school games in New Mexico, Colorado and Utah to ensure the

students-athletes

GUEST can play.

The fraternity COLUMN of sports officials Kevin Aten, Ed.D travel to games not

because we get paid big money – we don’t – but because we aspire to facilitate an elusive perfect game. As a football official colleague states, sports officials pursue perfection and excellence – life lessons that we can bring to our careers and our families.

Great officials share a commitment to the students-athletes, coaches and families. Furthermore, we serve a game that has likely been in our blood for years.

We work every contest to ensure students-athletes realize lifelong learning and lessons that grow from grit, hope and tenacity. We also teach that fumbles and fouls in life happen, and we can succeed despite these momentary interruptions and obstacles. At all levels, officials are arbiters of fair play and role models for hard work.

When my fellow officials and I finish a game, we often speak of the

important lessons experienced by our young people who are building character and workplace skills. We take pride in knowing we offered young people wholesome, educational-based athletics with memories that last a lifetime.

Sport officials serve alongside a group of fellow officials who read, study, watch and work out to be ready for the next challenging game assignment. We want to be ready for your son or daughter’s next big moment on the field or the pitch, too.

This basketball season marks my 38th year as a three-sports official, a combination of basketball, football and soccer. I have been fortunate to work multiple state championships.

Officiating has opened numerous doors, personally and professionally.

My other referee colleagues and I fear, with this acute shortage, we are on the verge of closing doors for our young people and our communities.

Let’s keep Friday Night Lights on Friday. Let’s ensure our communities and our children have competitive games and learn lifelong lessons. After all, without officials, we

are just runninga recess scrimmage!

Becoming a sport official is easy and virtually free. Once you call a game or two, it gets in your blood.

The smiles and the hard work of the young people will touch your heart.

Your friendship, and the service with coaches and fellow officials will also last a lifetime.

The Colorado High School Activities Association just launched a new #YouLookGoodinStripes campaign to recruit new officials and the association will pay registration for the first year.

Banning books is for bullies

S

ome people have become so

alarmed by what children might read in school or in libraries that they want books they don’t like removed — immediately. The targeted books include scenes of sexual awakening, gender identity, racism or violence.

But why aren’t these alarmists focusing on a book that’s chock-full of incest, rape and gore? I’m talking, of course, about the Bible.

In Genesis 19:30-36, Lot’s daugh-

ters get him drunk in a cave and his eldest daughter has incestuous sex with him. Judges 12 tells how an angry mob surrounds a Levite and his concubine, so he appeases them by handing over his companion. What happens next to the

sacrificed woman is too gory for me to describe.

Yet the Bible hasn’t been a target of book banners; moreover, some zealots attack books they’ve never read. They just have a list.

People on the warpath about “dangerous” books started urging libraries and schools to ban books they found objectionable in 2021. That discontent bubbled to the surface during COVID-caused school shutdowns and has now erupted into a

This was accomplished, with evil and malicious intent, by those paid by the wealthy to write and broadcast hateful rhetoric that increased fear and suspicion in ordinary Americans against anything the elite did not like: human rights campaigns for racial and sexual minorities, the governments and citizenries of other countries, educated people who knew better, even our own neighbors.

For decades, Americans have found themselves facing squeezed incomes, the increasing costs needed to pay one another to do the things we need done in this country, everything from filling potholes to teaching our kids, while a tiny minority of Americans gather more and more to themselves and laugh at the rest of us.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR In response to the Joe Webb column about the GOP

The explanation for the GOP’s dysfunction is simple.

For decades, the party has drifted away from support of the “cloth coat” middle class and into the support of the very, very rich. Ever since Richard Nixon’s extraordinary disintegration, I have watched the party and its leadership pursue policies that allow some Americans to amass immense fortunes at the cost of our infrastructure, our education system and even the lives of some of our children spent in futile overseas campaigns that

Y/OUR Denver Photography highlights city in flux

E

ven though many of us see the Denver skyline daily, there are all kinds of new perspectives and little touches that we may never notice. But the Y/OUR Denver 2022 photography exhibit, the fifth annual collaboration between Denver Architecture Foundation and Colorado Photographic Arts Center, aims to provide viewers the chance to get a new look on architecture and design around the state.

The digital exhibition is online through Feb. 28, and features the winning photographs from the Doors Open Denver photography competition, which offered artists a larger group of subjects than ever before.

“This year, we opened up the photo contest and exhibition to images of Colorado architecture, not just Denver architecture,” wrote Pauline Marie Herrera, president and CEO of the Denver Architecture Foundation, in an email interview. “I’ve enjoyed seeing the striking photos of architectural sites from around our state.”

According to provided information, participating photographers of all skill levels were invited to find and photograph their favorite architectural spaces in Denver and throughout the state. All forms of architectural imagery were eligible: black and white, color, exterior, interior and detail images.

“It’s interesting to see the types of architecture that makes up the different neighborhoods and houses and just how varied our architecture is,” said Samantha Johnston, executive director and curator of CPAC and juror for the competition. “It’s so exciting for me to see how photographers capture spaces we think about all the time.”

Of the 233 entries, Johnston selected 30 finalist images, including the following for four winners:

Best in Show: COMING “Justice Center ATTRACTIONS Dome” by Ernie

Leyba Best Exterior: “Breaking a Bridge”

by Mark Stein Best Interior: “Williams Tower”

by Lauren Sherman-Boemker Best Detail: “CamClarke Reader ouflage” by Carol Mikesh “I hope people who see the exhibit come away with an appreciation of Denver’s (and Colorado’s) architecture and a desire to explore it,” Herrera wrote. “I also hope they understand what it means to our quality of life and its importance to our future.”

Since she has served as juror for the last five years, Johnston has learned that seeing the many wonderful photographs people submit can make any day out in Denver a kind of adventure — one that more people can participate in.

“When you walk around the city, you can look up and say, ‘Oh, that’s where they took that shot,’” she said.

“It gives people an appreciation for things they maybe haven’t seen and an appreciation for the city changing.”

The musical runs at PACE, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., through Feb. 4. The final collaboration between Rogers and Hammerstein, come see classics like “My Favorite Things” and “Sixteen Going on Seventeen.” For information and tickets, visit parkerarts.org/event/the-sound-of-music/.

LSO hosts annual family concert

“Babar the Elephant” is one of the stories that really connected with me when I was growing up. Originally by Jean de Brunhoff, the popular 1938 children’s book is based on a story that his wife Cecille told to their children. French composer Francis Poulenc wrote a musical composition that follows Babar as he moves to the city and all the adventures he has in his new home.

For the Lakewood Symphony Orchestra’s annual family concert, the group will perform Poulenc’s music at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 4, at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway. As is tradition, conductor Matthew Switzer will begin by teaching the children a bit about the

world of music.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Sun June at Why Bonnie at the Hi-Dive

You gotta love some indie rock this time of year - albums that are drenched in guitar reverb and swirling vocals can just wrap you up during the cold winter months.

Two wonderful examples of what the genre can be are both from Austin, Texas: Sun June and Why Bonnie.

Sun June’s 2021 album, “Somewhere,” and Why Bonnie’s 2022 release, “90 In November,” both were among my favorite releases of their respective years and really hit their target vibes.

Both bands will be stopping by the Hi-Dive, 7 S. Broadway in Denver, along with Porlolo at 9 p.m. Jan. 28.

The Hi-Dive is a great venue for this kind of music, so take the opportunity to send off January and get tickets at https://hi-dive.com/.

The Long Way Home

The changing American dream and the obstacles some people face

BY MICHAEL DE YOANNA COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The first week of Colorado Community Media’s Long Way Home series focused on what many experts say is a housing crisis across the metro area.

In short, housing is increasingly unaffordable and inaccessible for Coloradans. Week two of our four-week series turns to how those issues look through the lens of race and younger residents, some whose experience of the American dream is changing..

Reporters Nina Joss and Haley Lena delve into the realities faced by would-be Black homeowners and others who find skin color can be a factor in achieving their long-term dreams. .

Joss and Lena break down how the system can sometimes work against Black applicants. They also uncover possible solutions, including an initiative from Realtors to provide training that averts subtle biases in the buying process.

Meanwhile, reporter Ellis Arnold asks a difficult question about metro area suburbs: why are they so White? There’s no single answer, but some neighborhood covenants from a few decades ago

difficult to prove.

Because many of the individuals served by the group were facing homelessness and unemployment, Arnold acknowledged that these factors could have played a role in their initial application rejections. However, when they conducted the blind application process with the same financial information, the applications were approved. For Arnold, this confirmed race was a barrier.

“The racism is just so out there,” he said. “It was easy to realize it.”

Arnold’s group did not file any complaints because their main priority was getting their clients housed, and they found a way to do that. Colorado Community Media reached out to Aurora Warms the Night to see if this is still a strategy but did not get a response.

But once a Black client successfully got on a lease, Arnold said even more challenges ensued if they were looking to someday own a home.

“How do we get them from renting into homeownership?” he said. “Those barriers seem to be some of the biggest.”

For decades, homeownership rates for Black people have lagged far behind those for White people. Census data released last month shows just how wide that gap is. More than seven in 10 White Coloradans and a little more than half of Latino residents own their homes, according to the 2021 five-year American Community Survey. Only 42% of Black Coloradans own their homes.

Although Latino homebuyers in Colorado face many of the same barriers as Black homebuyers, their rates of homeownership have grown in recent years. For Black Coloradans, on the other hand, the

prove, in writing, that race was sometimes a factor in creating our communities.

Accessibility to housing isn’t only an issue of race. It’s an issue of income, as well. Many Coloradans simply can’t afford to apply for a home, and some of them are redefining their idea of the American dream as a result. Reporter Christy Steadman digs into this issue. When affordability, accessibility and fairness play a role, families are shifting away from the old dream in which people started a family and bought a home.

When rising home prices and inflation makes that next to impossible for many Coloradans, the American dream may shift from the idea that owning a home is the true measure of success.

Still, across generations, many hold out hopes for homeownership.

Statistics, data and experts may have great information on how the market works, but it’s the people living through the crisis who matter the most.

To read all the parts of our Long Way Home series, visit https://coloradocommunitymedia. com/longwayhome/index.html. numbers have remained stubbornly low.

These trends hold across the metro area, with Adams, Jefferson, Arapahoe and Douglas counties all showing higher rates of homeownership in White communities than in those of color.

The reasons for this gap are myriad, but over time, Black Coloradans have generally had less opportunity to build home equity and wealth to pass from one generation to the next. These barriers mean many metro Denver communities lack racial and ethnic diversity. Through training and other measures, many are now trying to reverse this situation and improve access to housing for all.

A denied opportunity to build generational wealth

In 2021, Theo E.J. Wilson and his wife started looking to buy a home in Aurora. Wilson is a Black college lecturer and nonfiction television host.

Like many Coloradans regardless of color, Wilson and his wife did not have enough money for a down payment in today’s expensive housing market, even though they both make a good living. In Arapahoe County, the median sale price of a singlefamily home increased by $180,000 over the past five years, according to the Colorado Association of Realtors. In other metro Denver areas, the numbers have skyrocketed even more drastically.

While many White Americans may have benefited from the efforts of their ancestors, particularly through inheritances, Wilson says many Black people, including him, were denied that possibility.

In his eyes, that’s part of why homeownership has been so elusive.

“In what some of my elders have called the ‘illusion of inclusion,’ income is used as a metric to say that things are getting better for Black people,” Wilson said.

But, he pointed out, income is different from wealth. For generations, “White America was building wealth, assets and the skill set and personnel to

manage that wealth,” he said.

Wilson’s older family members, on the other hand, were not offered the same opportunities, he said.

Wilson’s grandfather was in the Army Air Forces during World War II, a Tuskegee airman, one of a pioneering group of Black military aviators. When he returned to New York City after the war, he did not receive federally backed home loans like his White counterparts did.

“They basically shoveled these White vets from World War II into programs that gave them college money and programs that gave them homes in the suburbs,” Wilson said. “Imagine if my grandpa would have got the property that he would have got had he been White in New York City.

A New Vision American dream changing for some Coloradans

‘The American dream has decreased in relevance’

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Amber Carlson is a Colorado native. She loves the Denver area for all its amenities — from outdoor recreation to the arts-and-culture scene. But with so many other people moving to the region because they also love those things, Carlson would consider moving away.

“I don’t blame people for wanting to live here,” she said. “It’s got a lot going on.”

Carlson doesn’t want to uproot from Colorado, but if she did, it would be because of the region’s skyrocketing cost of living.

“It’s difficult when you’ve lived here your whole life and it has become hard to stay,” she said.

Carlson is in her 30s. She went to Denver’s George Washington High School and is currently in graduate school at the University of ColoradoBoulder. She lives with her partner in a house in Wheat Ridge that he owns, a situation she feels fortunate to have. Otherwise, Carlson said, she is not sure if she would be able to afford a rental on her own.

Her experience leaves her with questions about the idea of the American dream — owning a home.

It is, for many, a dream of a single-

One of the reasons that University of Denver student Caitlyn Aldersea doesn’t envision herself ever becoming a homeowner is because she wants to be able to travel.

family home on a private plot of land in the suburbs, maybe with a picket fence and tire swing hanging from a lofty tree.

But younger people are changing their perceptions about what the American dream should be. Driving that change is the increasingly unaffordable nature of housing,

according to a few surveys, including one by Bankrate last year. It found that two-thirds of respondents cite affordability as a major hurdle to homeownership. Their pinch points included everything from salaries that didn’t keep up to a lack of ability to save for down payments to high mortgage rates.

Amber Carlson, a graduate student at the University of Colorado-Boulder, is pictured in front of her partner’s home in Wheat Ridge. Because her partner owns the home, Carlson is able to afford rent in the metro area as she completes her studies.

James Truslow Adams, a writer and historian, is credited with coining the term “the American dream” in 1931 — early in the Great Depression — in his book, “The Epic of America.”

“The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement,” Adams wrote. “It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.”

Carlson reflects on all of that. She said that people began to conceptualize how to get their American dream — go to college, get a good job and buy a home — in the postWorld War II era.

“There was this idea that you could have all of this,” Carlson said.

More Americans these days, she said, are defining success on their own terms. More folks might see homeownership as a relic, even something that holds them back in life, rather than necessary for all of their needs and desires.

A Look at the Suburbs Map experts dig for roots of racial separation in metro Denver

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 1967, Black Americans were mired in “the long, hot summer.”

Frustrations over poverty, unemployment, discrimination and myriad other issues spilled into the streets, leading to clashes with police and arrests in many places, including Denver. The widespread tensions over race left President Lyndon B. Johnson searching for answers.

So, he issued an executive order for a report that would detail what caused the chaos. He wanted it to answer a crucial question: How can the country prevent more unrest in the future?

When the report arrived seven months later, it laid out hundreds of pages of analysis and recommendations for improving race relations in America.

But its message was best summed up in a sentence: “To continue present policies is to make permanent the division of our country into two societies: one, largely Negro and poor, located in

the central cities: the other, predominantly White and affluent, located in the suburbs and in outlying areas.”

In other words, the issue of where people can live was at the heart of the report. It all ties into the American dream, the idea of a family owning a home, building wealth as that home increases in value over time and being able to live in whatever neighborhood a family can afford without fear of discrimination.

Yet more than half a century later, that divide between Black and White residents continues to complicate the dream in many parts of America, including the suburban towns and cities that surround Denver.

The divide is less stark and less known than it was in 1967, but its legacy is still alive in the metro area, where the Black population tends to live in Denver or Aurora, numbering in the tens of thousands in each city.

Elsewhere, Black residents number in the hundreds or just a few thousand while White residents make up strong majorities. White residents are 78% of the population in Arvada and 1% are Black. White residents are 80% of the population in Littleton and 2% are Black. White residents are 82% of the population in Castle Rock and less than 1% are Black.

An example of a racially restrictive covenant from the restrictions for an area called North Lakewood Heights, dated 1939, according to map librarian Christopher Thiry. It says: COURTESY OF CHRISTOPHER THIRY “No (land) shall at any time be occupied or owned by any person or persons of Mongolian or Negro races.”

SUBURBS FROM PAGE 17

So, why do the metro area’s communities look the way they do? The answer isn’t completely clear, but two map experts have delved into local property records, uncovering data that could help start to answer that question.

They’re trying to discover what many have either forgotten or swept under the rug about parts of the metro area — or simply never knew.

They’re digging in at the neighborhood level, looking for words in property documents — called “racially restrictive covenants” — that excluded people from housing by race. They’re looking to discern the legacies that still echo in communities today.

Christopher Thiry, a map librarian at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, is one of the diggers. Discovering the covenants in Jefferson County shocked him.

“That blew me away that this rural county at the time would have them,” Thiry said. “As I tell people, ‘Yeah, the suburbs of Birmingham, Alabama, sure. But Jefferson County? Come on.’”

‘Only persons of the Caucasian race’

Thiry, a longtime resident of Golden, took inspiration from the “Mapping Prejudice” project, an effort at the University of Minnesota to identify and map racial covenants.

He jumped into his work after the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. The mapping is a tedious task of sifting through mostly mundane, uncontroversial rules, like how many feet a house must sit away from the road or bans on billboards in front of homes.

Thiry has examined about 1,000 Jefferson County documents and found nearly 200 had some kind of race-based stipulation. He looked at documents from the 1860s to 1950, though most of them were from the 1910s to 1950.

Specifically, he has pored over “plats,” or plans for new neighborhoods. The plat for one neighborhood — Cole Village, located along Colfax Avenue near Kipling Street in what’s now Lakewood — had this to say: “Only persons of the Caucasian race shall use or occupy any building or any lot. This covenant shall not prevent use or occupancy by domestic servants of a different race.”

The document was registered with the county in 1945. That type of racebased language is now unenforceable but remains on official plats, property deeds and other documents, according to Thiry.

It wasn’t just developers who pushed such language, Thiry said.

Local elected and appointed officials of the government of Jefferson County signed the documents, Thiry added.

He singled out some other ex-

amples: • “Ownership in this subdivision shall be restricted to members of the Caucasian race,” says a planning document for Sunshine Park in Golden at Sunshine and High parkways, dated 1944.

• “Stipulate that no lot at any time shall be occupied or owned by any person or persons not of the Caucasian races. However, this provision shall not prohibit the employment of persons of other races by the occupants,” says the plan for Green Acres along 6th Avenue in what’s now Lakewood, dated 1939.

• “No (area) shall at any time be occupied or owned by any person or persons of other than the Caucasian race, however, this shall not prohibit the employment of persons of other races on the premises by the occupants,” says the plan for Happy Valley Acres in the Golden area at South Golden Road and Orion Street, dated 1939.

• “The said (land) shall (be) used for no other purpose than for the building and maintaining thereon and the occupancy thereof of private residences by Caucasians, and the erection of necessary outbuildings,” says a planning document for part of the Indian Hills area, dated 1923.

Thiry has used his findings to make a map of the parts of Jefferson County where race-based rules were baked into the original plans of the housing developments.

Many are concentrated in what are now the Wheat Ridge and Lakewood areas, with a handful dotting the Golden and Arvada region. Others sit in the Evergreen and Indian Hills areas.

It’s not yet a complete picture.

Thiry is wary that he may have missed pieces. Though the map is a work in progress, it already has him wondering how the covenants still influence lives today.

Beyond that, what can be done to right past wrongs.

His work has made one measurable impact. It has inspired the work of another mapper, Craig Haggit, a map librarian at Denver Public Library.

Haggit, who is looking into where racist restrictions lurked in the paperwork for housing in Denver, also wants to shed light on “the way forward” for communities.

“I feel like we can’t know where we’re going until we know where we’ve been and how we got there,” Haggit said. “Otherwise, you’re just (in) the dark.”

It could take years to look through all the documents. But so far, Haggit’s work has revealed racial restrictions in Denver that targeted people in “a mix” of ways.

“Sometimes, it’s excluding ‘Negro’ or ‘Asian’ or ‘Mongoloid’ or whatever terms they used. And sometimes it just says only White people” can live in a certain house, Haggit said.

His team at first zeroed in on the 1930s because the Ku Klux Klan was so active in the 1920s in the metro area. Since he’s in the early stages of

the research, Haggit is unsure which neighborhoods were home to large concentrations of racially restricted housing.

One clue could be redlining, a term that refers to marking areas red on color-coded federal maps in the 1930s, reflecting the practice of restricting access to home loans in certain areas, partly based on race.

That disparity stood in the way of homeownership for majority-Black areas and other groups in urban cities.

Though he doesn’t know yet, Haggit expects that the neighborhoods that were not redlined — the ones deemed higher class — would have the restrictive deeds because they were trying to keep certain people out.

In Denver, redlining zeroed in on predominantly Black neighborhoods, but it also covered neighborhoods where other ethnic or religious groups were present, according to the Denver redline map as displayed by the “Mapping Inequality” project from the University of Richmond and other university teams.

Denver’s redlined areas at the time included some western parts of the city and areas that surrounded downtown. But the map also redlined a small part of Aurora along Colfax Avenue — and parts of west and central Englewood. (A sliver of Jefferson County in the Edgewater area landed on the map too, though it was rated slightly higher in yellow.)

The map reflected the view that people of certain backgrounds negatively affected the values of homes.

In Englewood, for example, an “encroachment of Negroes” in an area near what appear to be railroad tracks was listed under “detrimental influences” in comments that accompany the map.

And for the Five Points area near downtown Denver, comments mention “Negroes, Mexicans and a transient class of workers.”

Just to the east, comments called the neighborhoods “a better Negro section of Denver” and “one of the best colored districts in the United States.”

“Were it not for the heavy colored population much of it could be rated” higher, the comments say, appearing to use the term “colored” to refer to residents who were not White.

Effects linger ‘to this day’

Though the picture isn’t entirely clear yet, what experts already know suggests that policies that deepened racial disparities influenced the makeup of today’s suburbs.

One driver of suburban growth that was especially visible was the American GI Bill — or the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 — that provided World War II veterans funding for college tuition and lowinterest mortgages. But not everyone reaped the same rewards because of the covenants that the mappers at

the local libraries are looking into, along with unequal access to GI Bill benefits for White veterans compared with Black veterans.

The disparities played into how largely White the demographics in the suburbs turned out to be, said Christy Rogers, a teaching assistant professor in the program for environmental design at the University of Colorado Boulder.

“That has consequences for intergenerational wealth,” Rogers said.

In other words, though the descendants of White military veterans saw their homes rise in value over the decades, essentially becoming investments, many Black families encountered barriers and that had a ripple effect as they could not pass down as much wealth to their children and grandchildren.

Rogers, who is White, knows this firsthand.

“My dad got the GI Bill, and he went to college and bought a house,” Rogers said. “So, our family could draw on our home value to send me to college.”

It took decades for federal lawmakers to ban the practice of racially restrictive covenants. They were banned in the months after the “long, hot summer” of 1967 — through the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which bars discrimination in the sale, rental and financing of housing based on race, color, national origin, religion or sex. The act also prohibited redlining.

What’s left today is a puzzle in places like Jefferson County, made even harder to discern after booming growth since the mid-1900s. It is difficult to tell how much past covenants shaped the suburbs, said Thiry, the Colorado School of Mines librarian.

“With that said, you cannot discard the fact that these covenants did exist,” Thiry said.

The prevailing attitudes of racism at the time still may have made Black families feel unwelcome in certain neighborhoods, Thiry said.

There is evidence that the researchers are onto something. In Minnesota, researchers looking into Minneapolis and its suburbs discovered a “bonus value” persists today among White homeowners who benefited from restrictive covenants.

“We document that houses that were covenanted have on average 3.4% higher present-day house values compared to houses that were not covenanted,” according to a 2021 University of Minnesota study entitled, “Long Shadow of Racial Discrimination: Evidence from Housing Racial Covenants.” “We also find that census blocks with a larger share of covenanted lots have smaller Black population and lower Black homeownership rates.”

The study also noted, “the racial makeup of neighborhoods determined in preceding decades persisted, where the region was highly segregated with White families SEE SUBURBS, P19

primarily residing in suburban areas and Black families within select neighborhoods (in) parts of Minneapolis.”

“This segregation has continued for more than fifty years, suggesting the highly long-lasting effect that covenants had on the racial distribution of the region,” according to the study.

Rogers at CU added that moving to the suburbs could be more difficult for residents in redlined areas who may not have the money to move.

“Redlined areas to this day (sometimes) have lower appraisal values compared to a house across the street that’s not in a redlined area,” Rogers said.

The path forward

Many Denver-area suburbs have large White majorities today. About 20 cities, towns or rural counties have a larger proportion of White residents than the national rate and

the Colorado rate — many by a large margin, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.

In Cherry Hills Village, a wealthy suburb that borders Denver, the number of Black Americans amounts to 0% of the population.

Just a few miles away, the population is 17% Black and 44% White in Aurora, one of Denver’s most diverse suburbs.

Aurora is an exception, not the rule. Many of Denver’s other older suburbs are much less diverse.

Several Adams County cities have large Latino populations, but even though they’re suburban, the cities still tend to have lower-income neighborhoods closer to Denver and more expensive housing farther north.

Still, the suburbs don’t entirely look like they used to, according to Yonah Freemark, senior research associate at the nonprofit Urban Institute, based in Washington, D.C. “Overall, the suburban parts of the nation have transformed dramatically and have become more diverse over time,” Freemark said.

That’s in terms of age, ethnicity

and race, and income, Freemark added.

In the future, some suburbs will likely undergo a “steady transformation” toward increased mobility, such as having more public transportation, Freemark said. Other changes could include more efforts to get people walking and biking, with the transition of suburban storefronts and strip malls into more walkable neighborhoods, he added.

The path forward for the suburbs may involve a continued increase in diversity of residents, Freemark said.

But that depends on whether states and the federal government will expand support and requirements related to affordable housing, Freemark said.

“We’re going to need significant public investment and changes to public law to support those outcomes,” Freemark said. “Otherwise, little is going to change.”

The affordability issue transcends race, with many people simply priced out of the housing market and those who are in it struggling to afford what they need for their families. In 2010, the median single-

family home price in metro Denver was about $200,000. It was roughly triple that as of 2022.

Coupled with affordability is an availability issue that local rules play a role in exacerbating. Large-lot zoning — planning for houses to be built on large portions of land — is one major issue. In other words, there are too many large homes being built and too few starter homes, leaving prospective first-time homebuyers with few options, perhaps even relegated forever to renting.

“If you have a very expensive largelot neighborhood, you don’t get young families,” Rogers said. “You don’t want your community to box out young families or new Americans. Or, you end up with, in a sense, a retirement community, and there’s nothing wrong with a retirement community, but you don’t want your entire community (to be that). You want kids to be in your schools.”

The long-term trend of rising housing prices plays a role, too, as wages fail to keep pace with housing costs.

That “has the potential to continue to widen inequality and even perhaps embed it,” Rogers said.

would that be worth today?”

Many Black veterans faced issues using the programs offered by the GI Bill. They often could not access banks for home loans, were excluded from certain neighborhoods and faced segregationist policies. Instead of a home in the suburbs, and despite his service to his country, Wilson’s grandfather wound up in low-income housing.

There, he raised Wilson’s father, who was not able to attend college.

“The only physical thing that I have from (my grandfather) besides his DNA is a collection of hats … that shouldn’t have been the case,” Wilson said. “I should have more from him than his name, his genes and some hats.”

In that era, federal authorities also made color-coded maps that reflected the practice of restricting access to home loans in certain areas, largely based on race. This practice is known as “redlining.” People of color were also excluded from obtaining housing through “racially restrictive covenants,” or text written into property records that was used to prevent people of certain races from purchasing certain homes.

Some exclusionary policies, which have been documented in the Denver area, left a toll that’s evident in communities of color today.

Family wealth is a good measure of that. In 2019, the median White family in the country had about $184,000 in wealth compared to just $38,000 and $23,000 for the median Hispanic and Black families, respectively. That’s according to data from the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances.

These numbers speak to the notion of generational wealth. Generational wealth is anything of financial value that is passed from one generation to another — including money, property, investments, valuable heirlooms or businesses.

“Think about the wealth that was created during (the ‘40s and ‘50s) that White families have been able to leverage generation after generation, either

to send their kids to college, to be able to start a business, to writing a check for their loved ones to be able to have money for (a) down payment in order to buy their own home and continue that generational wealth transfer,” said Aisha Weeks, managing director at the Dearfield Fund for Black Wealth, a Denver area group that emphasizes homeownership. “That wasn’t available in mass for Black and African American families.”

A family’s primary residence is typically their most valuable asset, according to the National Association of Realtors.

It’s not just the monetary value of a house and property that adds to wealth. There are tax benefits for homeowners and people can borrow against a home’s equity to start a business or to help with unexpected bills. Homeownership also provides stable housing, which has been shown to positively impact health and educational achievement. These factors can, in turn, improve a person’s economic prosperity.

Trying to change the equation

The Dearfield Fund for Black Wealth

offers down-payment assistance loans with no interest and no monthly payments up to $40,000 or 15% of the purchase price for Black homebuyers.

“We acknowledge that there’s a generational wealth gap, and so Dearfield Fund is walking alongside our clients and borrowers to say, ‘We will provide that down-payment assistance,’’’ Weeks said.

This program helped Wilson and his wife buy their home in Aurora.

In addition, the fund also offers advice and education on how to build wealth.

“We know that there are so many pitfalls and just things that, as a community, we have not learned at the dinner table like our counterparts,” Weeks said. “There’s a lot of power in the knowledge information transfer that happens within other communities that we need to make sure that families are understanding.”

That issue of being at the proverbial dinner table comes up a lot for communities of color. Without an example to follow, some first-time homebuyers don’t know where to begin. According to Alma Vigil, a local loan officer assistant, families who do not own homes

often do not pass along information about how to own and maintain a home.

To address this challenge, the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority offers homebuyer education programs to teach Coloradans financial skills and the steps to homeownership. These classes are offered in English and Spanish in an effort to remedy language barriers, which can add challenges for potential homebuyers who do not speak English.

“There’s very (few) Spanish speaking loan officers,” said Vigil, who is Hispanic and speaks Spanish herself.

“There are some that claim to speak Spanish, but they’re not very fluent. So it becomes a huge problem, especially with lack of understanding.”

In order to close the gaps, some lenders across the metro Denver area provide services in Spanish. A list of Spanish-speaking lenders can be found on the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority’s website.

Asian Pacific American Community Development found language barriers are also often a challenge for members of the Asian American community when pursuing homeownership. In addition to conversations with lenders, real estate paperwork and documents rarely come in languages other than English.

Debt-to-income ratio

Over the last couple of years, Brandon Stepter, a community consultant, has been working in Broomfield. In an effort to bring more people of color into the community, Stepter looks at housing infrastructure, housing practices and community practices.

Stepter and his wife, Gabrielle, both of whom are Black, have been renting in Aurora but have recently been looking to purchase a home.

“We thought we would be pretty solid in that regard and we both make a decent amount of money,” Stepter said. “We thought we would be able to start looking, even in this market, to try and find an equitable home that fits our budget.”

Stepter, who also works as a healthcare administrator, and his wife, who works for a technology company, said they are trying to figure out how to pay off their student debt so they can get a home loan within the next couple of years.

“I think right now what we’re seeing is a lot of younger African Americans who are in copious amounts of

student debt and that has been preventing them from owning a home,” Stepter said.

Debt-to-income ratio is often a significant barrier for Black people who are looking to buy a home because that number is assessed when underwriters are deciding whether or not to give a mortgage, according to Jice Johnson, founder of the Black Business Initiative.

The Black Business Initiative is a Denver-based organization that focuses on economic equity in the Black community.

“In America, you are encouraged to graduate high school and go to

college,” Johnson said. “Typically speaking, because you don’t have access, when you go to college you’re not going to pay for college outright.

Instead, you’re going to get a student loan … So it increases the debt side of your ratio by a lot, oftentimes preventing you from purchasing a home.”

Black college graduates tend to owe thousands of dollars more in student debt, on average, than their White peers. According to a 2016 report from the Brookings Institution, the amount can exceed $7,000 at the date of graduation.

Black and Hispanic workers also tend to be paid less than their White counterparts, according to many studies on the subject. In 2020, Black workers in Colorado earned 74% and Latino workers in Colorado earned 71% of the hourly earnings of White workers, according to numbers from the 2020 five-year American Community Survey.

“So you go to school, you get the degree, which is what you’re supposed to do to get the high-paying job,” Johnson said. “Now you come out and you have debt and also your income isn’t as high as it should be.

So, your entire debt-to-income ratio doesn’t allow for you to purchase a home.”

In a national statistical analysis of more than 2 million conventional mortgage applications for home purchases, a data-based news publication called The Markup found that lenders were 40% more likely to turn down Latino applicants for loans, 50% more likely to deny Asian/Pacific Islander applicants, 70% more likely to deny Native American applicants and 80% more likely to reject Black applicants compared with similar White applicants.

Even for families of color that may not struggle immediately with wealth and knowledge disparities, discrimination persists in the housing market. People of color are often treated differently in appraisals, lending practices and neighborhood options.

Stories about what that looks like in the Denver area abound. Johnson of the Black Business Initiative lived in Westminster before moving to Aurora. When she was staging her home to sell, her real estate agent

gave her some advice.

“It was encouraged for me to make sure I had no family photos up,” she said.

Meanwhile, she visited homes for sale that had photos of White families.

Johnson said it was good business advice. Her Black Realtor, Delroy Gill, understood the landscape and was looking out for her.

“That’s my Realtor trying to get me top dollar,” she said. “The question is, why would (leaving) my photos prevent me from getting top dollar?”

Gill said the practice of taking down photos removes potential hurdles that could occur for his clients.

For Black clients, race is sadly one of those hurdles that could affect how appraisers, inspectors and potential homebuyers view the home, he said.

“We do know racism is a real thing,” he said. “And it exists in every facet of life. So therefore, when you are faced with the unknown, it’s better to make the adjustments based on how society is versus taking the risk of creating more damage on Black wealth by them receiving less funds for their homes.”

The advice Gill gave Johnson was not unique. Paige Omohundro, business development manager at the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority said her team heard similar stories in recent focus groups with real estate agents, nonprofits, lenders, housing advocates and people trying to achieve homeownership in Black and African American communities. She said these stories were shared by members of Hispanic and Latino communities as well.

Gill said that because of his precautions, discrimination rarely impacts his clients’ sales. One time, however, the preparation was not enough.

A couple of years ago, Gill was working with an interracial couple to sell their home in Parker. When the appraiser arrived, the Black husband was leaving the property.

“I own investment properties in the area, so I know the area very well,” Gill said. “And I used to live in the neighborhood. So the value that we gave to the house was very appropriate — and the appraisal came in $100,000 less (than our value).”

According to Gill, the buyers, who SEE INEQUITIES, P21

were White, decided to pay the extra $100,000 out of pocket because they knew the original asking price was fair.

“The agent and the buyers thought that the price was reasonable and that the appraiser made a big mistake,” Gill said. “We tried to dispute the appraisal and failed. He said he’s not going to change it.”

Gill said the homebuyers noted that the low appraisal was probably due to racial discrimination.

According to a 2021 study by Freddie Mac, a government-sponsored mortgage-buying company, this

something that some people want,” Carlson said. “But I don’t think everybody wants or needs to buy a home.”

Others are holding onto the old idea.

Bankrate found that homeownership remains a persistent part of the American dream. Homeownership is the “most-mentioned milestone” for Americans 26 and older, but younger Americans see it as less important.

Gen Z, aged 18-25, doesn’t rank it as the top accomplishment like older Americans tend to.

Gen Z member Caitlyn Aldersea, a student at the University of Denver, is representative of the changing attitude.

experience was not rare. Black and Latino mortgage applicants get lower appraisal values than the contract price more often than White applicants, according to the study.

The study found that, based on over 12 million appraisals from Jan. 1, 2016 to Dec. 31, 2020, 8.6% of Black applicants receive an appraisal value lower than contract price, compared to 6.5% of White applicants. In the study, Freddie Mac said it would be valuable to conduct further research to understand why this gap exists.

In a report by the National Fair Housing Alliance, however, personal stories like that of Gill’s clients make the case that the appraisal gap comes from racial or ethnic discrimination.

She remembers as a young child how the Great Recession that began in 2007 affected her family.

“The American dream today is much different than how my parents thought of it,” Aldersea said. “Today, it’s more based on what can be accomplished.

It’s not shooting for the stars anymore.”

Aldersea’s personal definition of the American dream includes a fulfilling career, opportunities to be part of a community that one is able to give back to and the freedom to pursue personal interests. She believes housing should be attainable for everyone, but doesn’t think it defines success or happiness.

Aldersea doesn’t envision ever becoming a homeowner. One reason is that she wants to be able to relocate as she pursues her career goals. Another

One of these stories, originally reported by the Washington Post, was about a mixed-race couple in Denver. An appraiser greeted by the White wife valued the house at $550,000, whereas one greeted by the Black husband valued it at $405,000.

The lower value appraisal report explicitly compared the home to others in a nearby predominantly Black neighborhood, even though that’s not where the house was located.

Since 1968, housing discrimination based on race has been illegal under the Fair Housing Act. Nine years before that federal law was signed, Colorado was the first state to pass its own fair housing laws, according to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority.

Although it is illegal, discrimina-

tion in housing based on race or color still happens, according to the Department of Justice. The department has filed cases related to lending discrimination, including a 2012 Wells Fargo case in which the bank was forced to pay a settlement for its pattern of discrimination against qualified Black and African American and Hispanic and Latino borrowers.

There are efforts to change the process. According to the Urban Institute, a nonprofit research organization, 89% of all property appraisers and assessors are White while only 2 percent are Black and 5 percent are Hispanic.

improve outcomes for Black and Hispanic communities, the organization said.

The Appraiser Diversity Initiative, a program led by mortgagebuying companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and civil rights organization the National Urban League, is teaching new potential appraisers with a diversity of identities in an effort to close this gap.

Approaching inclusion in real estate from a wider perspective, a program through the Urban Land Institute Colorado works to train women and people of color in development. This program, called the Real Estate Diversity Initiative, aims to create urban landscapes that serve diverse communities.

“I think trust in communitybuilding is key,” Executive Director Rodney Milton said. “When developers build projects, they need community support because they’re shaping the community.

And who better to be equipped to strengthen a community, to build it out, to revitalize it, then the folks who are from that community?”

Welcome to Fairhaven

Housing is a source of discrimination complaints. The Colorado Civil Rights Commission Annual report found that 14% of complaints were claims about housing issues.

it remove 24 “pornographic” books that sex offenders might use to “plan their attacks.”

To bolster her demand, she cited section 18-1515 of Idaho law, which says a person is guilty of “disseminating material harmful to minors” when they knowingly loan material with detailed sexual descriptions to underage children.

The 24 books she cited were all “young adult” books, and parental consent was already required before they could be checked out.

In a city as big as Nampa, with over 100,000 residents, you’d think one person’s demands would at

tor who works in the metro Denver area, said she has not witnessed or experienced discrimination in her work with her clients, most of whom are Black.

“Everyone is treated equal, whether it’s borrowing or buying homes,” she said.

Sundberg witnessed the 1994 Rwandan genocide, when hundreds of thousands of members of a minority ethnic group called the Tutsi were murdered by members of the Hutu ethnic majority. In her eyes, although it might be important to talk about topics of racial discrimination, focusing on them too much can have unintended consequences.

“When we emphasize them so much, it creates more division rather than unity,” she said.

Still, discrimination is an ongoing concern for the National Association of Realtors and Brokers.

Sundberg said Realtors are trained to address discrimination issues.

And to Gill, the Realtor who helped Johnson sell her home, the association’s training is not enough to help all real estate agents.

“Race is a part of it, but it’s not the in-depth, you know, ‘how to understand if you’re being a racist or not,’” he said.

To address such concerns, the association released an immersive online simulation in 2020 that aims to train agents to recognize and avoid acting on their own biases.

The program is part of the association’s Fair Housing Act Plan, which leaders created to empha-

size accountability and culture change. The training is meant to make housing more accessible and affordable to people of color.

A White Colorado Community Media reporter went through the online simulation, which takes place in a fictional town called Fairhaven. The simulation puts a person in the shoes of potential homebuyers who are experiencing discrimination.

One scenario is based on a federal court case, Clinton-Brown v.

Hardick. In 2020, Todd Brown and Ebony Clinton-Brown filed a suit against Helene L. and John Hardick alleging violations of the Fair Housing Act and Rhode Island law.

The case claims the Hardicks noticed Clinton-Brown’s first name and asked their real estate agent if Ebony was Black. When they learned she was, the Hardicks refused to sell their property and the agent withdrew the listing upon the Hardicks’ request, ceasing communication.

Throughout the simulation, agents attempt to theoretically sell four homes within six months while coming across day-to-day happenings including the views of colleagues and encounter issues like language barriers. The simulator provides for moments of reflection in the sales process. At the end of the training, agents are given feedback.

According to Alexia Smokler of the National Association of Realtors, the organization decided to pursue the simulator after a Newsday investigation revealed alleged

housing discrimination on Long Island, New York.

“We wanted to show how discrimination plays out in real life scenarios and so we drew on real fair housing cases and frequently asked questions from our members to create these simulated scenarios so they could see how discrimination looks,” Smokler said.

Scenarios in the simulation are based on true stories. They include testimonials to show discrimination from the perspective of race, disability and LGBTQ+ identities.

“We’ve had people tell us watching these videos — they’re very emotional videos — that they are in tears, that they’re angry, that they’re going to stand up for their clients and also we’ve had folks say ‘I wasn’t aware of these sorts of things are going on’ and ‘this has really opened my eyes,’” Smokler said.

Brian Arnold, who used to work with clients at Aurora Warms the Night, said training like Fairhaven could help combat discrimination. But he noted that since the Fairhaven simulation is not a mandatory step in real estate agent licensing, it is challenging to ensure people who need the training actually do it.

“For your … real estate agents that are doing well, that are maybe using discriminatory practices, how are you going to get those people to use it?” Arnold said.

“Unless it’s a mandatory (program) ... then it’s just a nice program that’s out there that could help.”

least require a hearing before action is taken, yet the school board removed all 24 books “forever.” As it turned out, only 23 books were taken off the shelves because one young adult book on the list had never been bought.

There was no formal review, infuriating some parents who championed free speech and free choice. A month later, they joined students and teachers outside the Nampa school district offices to protest the bans.

Laura Delaney, who owns Rediscovered Books in nearby Boise, fought back against censorship by giving away 1,500 of the banned books — donated by concerned citizens — to Nampa students and teachers.

“These books are written be-

cause authors are trying to figure out the world, and having them share their wisdom with people of all generations and backgrounds makes a difference,” Delaney told reporters.

Then the Idaho state Legislature jumped on the controversy.

Last year, House Republicans passed HB 666 to hold librarians “criminally liable” for distributing material considered “harmful to minors.”

“I would rather my 6-year-old grandson start smoking cigarettes tomorrow than get a view of this stuff at the public library or anywhere else,” said Rep. Bruce Skaug, R-Nampa.

A misdemeanor conviction for disseminating harmful materials includes up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Many librarians found the law terrifying; some quit their jobs or changed careers.

The “Idaho library community has lost some good people due to the conflicts centered mostly around book challenges,” state librarian Stephanie Bailey-White told me.

Thankfully, Idaho’s Senate re-

fused to give the anti-librarian bill a hearing. But lawmakers found another way to punish libraries: They cut $3.8 million from this fiscal year’s original $11.5 million budget for the Commission for Libraries.

Idaho’s library budget cuts have now made it harder for libraries to stock new books and expand telehealth services for seniors and rural residents. Lawmakersalso defunded a statewide e-book program managed by the Idaho Commission for Libraries.

Book banning campaigns aren’t new in America, but last year the American Library Association said that library staff faced an “unprecedented number of attempts to ban books.”

The organization said the books most targeted were those about Black or LGBTQIA people. The Bible was not on anyone’s list.

Polis calls for more property tax relief Asks for $200M

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Gov. Jared Polis wants state lawmakers to deliver an additional $200 million in property tax relief over the next two years, bringing the total respite offered by the legislature over that period to $900 million, as Democrats and Republicans debate a long-term solution to rising tax bills resulting from skyrocketing property values across Colorado.

If the legislature, which begins its 2023 lawmaking term Monday, approves the expanded relief, it will mark the third time in as many years state lawmakers slap a Band-Aid on the problem that is Colorado’s property tax situation, which has big ramifications for schools and local government entities funded by property tax revenue.

A long-term solution palatable to many people and groups involved in the discussions, however, remains elusive, which is why Polis and the General Assembly keep offering temporary fixes.

Polis made the additional relief request in his supplemental budget request last week. He didn’t say how the relief should be offered, however, explaining that he will mostly leave that to the legislature.

If the legislature approves Polis’ request — and that’s a big “if ” — it will be the second time in two years state lawmakers will have limited the increase in Coloradans’ property tax bills for 2023 and 2024 in anticipation of a jump in property tax assessments. The General Assembly in 2022 cut $700 million from Coloradans’ expected property tax bills for those years.

“Assessments had a greater increase than any of us thought — 26.5%,” Polis said last week during a news conference. “We’re happy with the relief we provided.

Assessments came in higher, so it warrants additional relief.”

The governor wants the legislature to use $200 million of its discretionary general fund money to backfill tax revenue lost to school districts and other local government entities. State lawmakers may be reticent to hand over the cash, however, given the inflationary budget crunch they face this year.

Senate President Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, told The Colorado Sun he thinks lawmakers “are open to

Gov. Polis addresses the crowd at the ground breaking.

doing general fund investments” to blunt the impact of rising assessment rates.

“I think it will happen, though, simultaneously with a longer-term (property tax) solution rather than having to do this every year,” Fenberg said. “I think the bigger question is what ways can we solve the structural problem and get property taxes on the more sustainable path for residences as well as for commercial properties.”

Fenberg was referencing a replacement for the Gallagher Amendment, which Colorado voters stripped from the state constitution in 2020. Gallagher prevented residential property tax bills from quickly rising by shifting the tax burden to commercial property owners through assessment rates, which help determine how much property owners pay in taxes. But Gallagher collided with another constitutional amendment, the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, in a way that hamstrung the government entities that rely on property tax revenue.

“In my opinion, and I’ve been watching this from the outside for the last number of years, when the good voters of the state of Colorado decided to repeal the Gallagher Amendment there were a couple of things they didn’t realize,” said incoming state Rep. Lisa

Frizell, a Castle Rock Republican and a former Douglas County assessor. “One was that they laid the establishment of assessment rates solely (at the feet of ) the legislature, which was a bit concerning.”

Frizell said the legislature keeps kicking the property tax problem down the road, but she admits it’s difficult to come up with a permanent fix.

“I don’t have a slam-dunk solution,” she said, adding that she expects home values to increase at a much larger clip than the 26.5% rate cited by Polis.

Polis agrees that a long-term replacement to Gallagher is needed.

But neither he nor Democrats in the legislature have publicly offered any concrete solutions, and both chafed last year at ideas offered by conservatives, including permanent rate reductions and caps on property tax increases.

“We need some mechanism to prevent runaway property tax rates and also to address some of the injustices that Gallagher created, namely a commercial property rate that is several times higher than many other states,” Polis said. “What are we looking for? Some reductions in commercial property taxes — benefiting our small businesses, making our state more competitive, creating jobs — and then a mechanism to

protect homeowners from being priced out of their homes.”

The legislature can — and may — punt on a long-term replacement for Gallagher until the 2024 lawmaking term since the relief it has passed lasts through next year.

Last year’s property tax fight was feisty and it ended with something akin to a hostage exchange in the basement of the Colorado Capitol as interest groups backed off their plans to ask voters to make broad changes to the property tax system. There was also a property tax debate at the Capitol in 2021.

Michael Fields, a conservative fiscal activist with the political nonprofit Advance Colorado Action, has been a key player in state property tax discussions.

He said he’s waiting to see what the legislature comes up with this year before deciding whether to try to shape policy through a ballot measure. (A 2021 property tax ballot measure led by Fields that would have cut assessment rates for some types of property failed.)

Scott Wasserman, who leads the Bell Policy Center, a liberal fiscal policy nonprofit, is another key player in the property tax policy debate. He said he is working on proposals.

“This is just not a sustainable way to solve the problem,” he said of the year-after-year relief measures debated in the legislature.

“It’s $200 million this year. How much is it going to be next year?”

Frizell is planning to introduce a bill this year that would prevent home values from being changed by county assessors in 2023, as planned, to prevent a big jump in Coloradans’ property tax bills.

Instead, she proposes the state legislature increase home values last determined in 2021 by 5%, giving lawmakers time to come up with a long-term property tax solution before 2025, when home values are set to be evaluated by assessors once again.

“I don’t think throwing money at it is always the solution,” Frizell said.

Additionally, Republicans plan to ask the legislature this year to approve the creation of a property tax task force to come up with a long-term fix.

Here’s what the legislature did in 2022 through the passage of Senate Bill 238 to reduce Coloradans’ rising property tax tab: The residential assessment rate used to calculate how much a residential homeowner owes in SEE RELIEF, P25

property taxes in 2023 is reduced to 6.765% from 7.15%. Additionally, the first $15,000 in actual value of a residential property is waived as long as doing so doesn’t cause the assessed property value to fall below $1,000.

For commercial properties, the assessment rate in 2023 is reduced to 27.9% from 29%. Additionally, the first $30,000 in actual value of a commercial property is waived as long as doing so doesn’t cause the assessed property value to fall below $1,000.

weapons. Republicans only really have one tool to try to stop the measure: filibustering.

Ultimately, the fate of the legislation lies with Democrats.

In his State of the State address Jan. 17, Polis said he is joining bipartisan calls for “cracking down on ghost guns, which are completely untraceable and increasingly being used to carry out violent crimes.” 9News reported in November that the alleged Club Q shooter used ghost guns in the deadly attack that left five dead and at least 17 wounded.

As for the red flag law, Polis said in

because they are used to calculate how much someone owes in taxes.

The rate is multiplied by a home’s market value, which is determined by a county assessor. What a property owner pays is then determined by the mill levy rate. A mill is a $1 payment on every $1,000 of assessed value. The 2023 reduction will mean that a residential property owner who owns a home worth $300,000 with a mill levy of 100 will pay about $1,900 versus $2,145. (The state has a good explainer on this here.)

In 2024, the rates will go up slightly. For single-family residential property owners, the assessment rate will be approximately 6.95%, down from 7.15%. For multifamily residential property,

the rate will be 6.8%.

(Why approximately, you ask?

The single-family residential property assessment rate will be set in 2024 at a level to be determined by the state property tax administrator to ensure that the state hits its $700 million property tax relief target for the 2023 and 2024 property tax years.)

For those who own commercial property used for agriculture and/ or to produce renewable energy, the 2024 assessment rate will be 26.4%, down from 29%.

The 2024 rates match a reduction approved for the 2021 and 2022 tax years under a measure passed by the legislature in 2021.

Finally, the legislature extended a change allowing senior citizens

his speech that he wants to expand who can ask a judge to order a gun seizure. Right now, it’s limited to law enforcement and family members and others close to the person whose guns would be seizures, like roommates.

“Why not expand this to include additional petitioners, like district attorneys?” Polis said during his speech.

Democrats in the legislature also want to let counselors — in the mental health and education fields — ask for a seizure order.

What the governor didn’t mention in his address was a ban on so-called assault weapons. “I haven’t seen anything like that,” Polis told The Sun when asked about the forthcoming bill, a draft of which was posted online.

In February 2018, when Polis was a member of Congress, he was a cospon-

sor of a bill that would have banned so-called assault weapons.

Asked Jan. 17 whether he thinks Polis will be an ally in his push to ban so-called assault weapons in Colorado, Boesenecker wouldn’t say.

“We haven’t had detailed conversations with him about the policy,” Boesnecker said, “so I’d hate to speculate on where (he’s) at.”

It’s likely that if more property tax relief is approved by the legislature in 2023, as Polis hopes, it will simply be made by expanding the breaks offered by Senate Bill 238.

Alameda wrestling program gaining positive momentum

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

GOLDEN — Alameda’s boys wrestling team picked up its sixth dual victory in the Class 4A Jeffco League on Jan. 19.

The Pirates took a 47-27 win over Golden in the Demons’ gym. Alameda and Golden split the eight matches that were wrestled, but three of the four victories by the Pirates were pins and the fourth was a technical fall in the second period.

“The boys are working hard. The coaches are working hard,” Alameda coach Frank Trujillo said as the Pirates improved to 6-0 in league duals. “I’m so proud of what we are doing because that hard work is starting to show with the wins were are putting up.”

Alameda took advantage of four forfeit victories while only forfeiting one weight class at 113 pounds. Junior William Manzanares (126 pounds), freshman AJ Torrez (132), sophomore Sean Johnson and junior Mushtaq Shokori (157) grabbed individual wins against the Demons.

Torrez took one of the fastest wins of the night pinning Golden junior Max Trujillo in 27 seconds. The win put the Pirates up 18-12 in the team points. Alameda would never trail from there on out.

“This year with more wrestlers we are more structured as a team,” Johnson said.

“We come out here with intentions to win. We just want to win. That is our main

motivation.”

Johnson had a first-period pin of Golden sophomore Riley Kopser. Johnson then led the Pirates with some post-match acrobatic flips after the Pirates shook hands with the Demons.

“He makes me pull my hair out. That is why I have no hair,” Coach Trujillo joked about Johnson. “Sean is a phenomenal athlete. He is very young. He is doing the right things as an athlete and as a student. He is just a great kid.”

Another great kid who joined Golden’s wrestling program this season is sophomore Noah Limback.

The Golden football and lacrosse player — who also played baseball before high school — has become the solid heavyweight for the Demons.

Limback has the quickest pin of the night with a victory in 24 seconds over Alameda sophomore Zeke Torrez in the final match of the dual.

“I started wrestling because I thought it would be a fun sport,” said Limback, who was an all-conference defensive lineman this past football season. “With football it would help me with conditioning, be able to do better hand movements and improve my football skills.

Also, I just love all my teammates.”

Golden coach Dave Sauer said it didn’t take long for Limback to pick up the sport.

“He (Limback) is a bright spot for sure,” Sauer said of

the Demons’ heavyweight.

“We are really excited and we’ve convinced him that this is good for him. He is a great football player and it didn’t take him long to figure out wrestling was good for him.”

Limback, senior Dustin Hendrix (120), sophomore Aidan Kimble (138) and junior Jamie Milton (165) all won their matches for the Demons against Alameda.

“I just want to do the best that I can with my ability,” Limback said. “How much effort I put in will determine how good I do.”

Sauer has put a lot of effort as the Demons’ head wrestling coach for over two decades. He announced earlier this year that his 22nd year will be his last.

Golden has one more home dual against Denver West

on Tuesday, Jan. 31. The Demons will also host the 4A Jeffco League Tournament on Friday, Feb. 3.

“I have a great coaching staff so that has helped me relax and enjoy it,” Sauer said of his final year at the helm. “I’m sure most of these coaches and kids are really getting tired of hearing my stories. I tell stories every day. I had one of my first state placers here tonight.

That’s kind of cool.”

Alameda is hoping it’s just beginning to start a new legacy with its wrestling program.

“One main thing we want to change the way our school is with our sports,” Johnson said. “We don’t have such a good reputation with sports at our school. With wrestling our main thing is to help change that at Alameda.”

The Pirates have the league championships coming up followed by a 3A regional tournament where the top 4 wrestlers in each weight class qualify for the state tournament Feb. 16-18 down at Ball Arena in Denver.

“With this young group just getting them that experience,” Coach Trujillo said of league, regionals and state tournament ahead. “None of them have ever been there (state). That is going to be one of our tasks to coach them in the right way and make them understand what we are there to do and what to take away from it.”

Columbine gives No. 1 Valor a scare

Valor Christian senior Macey Huard, right, drives on Columbine senior Dakota Archuleta during the first half Jan. 17 at Columbine High School. The Rebels gave the No. 1-ranked Eagles a tough game, but Valor eventually took a 68-55 victory to win its 34th straight league PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS win.

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LITTLETON — Valor Christian’s girls basketball team continued its remarkable conference winning streak Jan. 17, but it wasn’t easy.

Columbine senior Araya Ogden scored a driving layup with 3:25 left in the fourth quarter to cut Valor’s lead to 57-55. However, the Eagles — No. 1 in the CHSAANow.com Class 6A rankings — went on an 11-0 run in the final minutes to snag a 68-55 road victory.

“It was a really good reminder for us that there are things that we need to go back and continue to work on,” Valor coach Jessika Caldwell said. “Give credit to Columbine. They had a great

game plan and they finished everything around the basket and we did not.”

It was Valor’s 34th straight conference win since the Eagles (13-1, 3-0 in 6A Jeffco) moved up to the largest classification to start the 2018-19 season.

Valor hasn’t lost a league game since a 4A Jeffco League loss to Evergreen back on Feb. 13, 2018. Since that loss not only has the Eagles been perfect in conference play, but they won the 5A state title in 2021 and were the state runner-up last season.

“It means a lot,” Valor senior and Macey Huard said of the undefeated streak and four straight Jeffco League titles since the Eagles moved up to the largest classification. “We don’t feel the

pressure of it, but we put a lot of work in to prepare for each game. To go out and have a close game is a little stressful.”

Huard — University of Montana commit — finished with a game-high 29 points. Her biggest basket came late in the four quarter. A 3-pointer in front of the Eagles’ bench pushed Valor’s lead to 63-55 with 1:35 to play.

“Quinn (VanSickle) is a great passer. When she drove I knew she was going to kick it back out to me,” Huard said of the huge 3-pointer in the final minutes. “I knew we needed that one.”

Huard finished the game with a steal and layup just before the buzzer to win SEE BASKETBALL, P27

another Jeffco League game. VanSickle finished with 13 points and sophomore Rylie Beers had a nice game off the bench for the Eagles with 9 points.

“We just had to bring grit into that last quarter,” Huard said. “We were all tired. We just had to bring all the competitiveness we had left in us and toughness to make it through.”

Columbine (6-10, 1-2) never led in the game, but they hung tough against a Valor squad who hasn’t lost to an in-state program this season.

“Our whole focus coming into this game was us,” Columbine coach Greg Bolding Jr. said. “We knew we had a big task ahead, but we didn’t focus on them. We wanted to clean up the mistakes we’ve been making.”

The Rebels handled Valor’s fullcourt pressure for most of the game.

Columbine junior Emily Allison led the way with 24 points, including buzzer beater to end the first half.

“She (Allison) has been our rock for our team,” Bolding said. “She has kind of carried our team on and off the court. Her leadership has been unbelievable.”

Ogden — the pitcher on Columbine’s softball state championship team this past Fall — scored 10 points as the Rebels gave the No. 1 ranked team in the state a good

early league test.

“I don’t think this is a moral victory. It’s an opportunity for us to say we are better than our record it,” Bolding said. “We have a big task ahead of us on Friday. Hopefully we can build off of this game and have some success against Chatfield.”

Chatfield handed Columbine a 5348 loss to end the week.

Valor took sole possession of first place in 6A Jeffco on Jan. 20. The Eagles defeated No. 8 Ralston Valley 54-30 on the road. The Mustangs (10-4, 2-1) are actually lead by the coach that handed Caldwell her last league loss nearly five years ago.

Amy Bahl is in her first year at Ralston Valley, back in the prep ranks after taking some time away from high school coaching.

“I’m so glad she is back coaching again,” Caldwell said of Bahl. “It’s so fun to have another female presence and another mom. We share a lot of similarities having three kids and both of us having played (college) at a high level.”

Caldwell and Bahl also share having won state multiple state championships as coaches. Caldwell has three with Valor winning 4A titles in 2015 and 2016 to go along with Valor’s 5A title in 2021. Bahl won her back-to-back 4A titles with Evergreen in 2017 and 2018.

Expanded preschool program received 12,000 applications 30,000 expected

BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

Close to 12,000 applicants signed up for the state’s expanded preschool program Tuesday, the first day parents could enroll their child ahead of the program’s start this fall.

The number of applications is a promising sign for the new program and is prompting state officials to rethink the number of children who will enroll.

“We’re pleasantly surprised,” said Lisa Roy, executive director of the Colorado Department of Early Childhood.

“It exceeded our expectations for the first day. We think it’s an excellent indicator of family interest” in the state’s expanded preschool program, known as “universal preschool.”

The department originally projected about 30,000 kids would opt into the state program during its first year, about half the number of kids who will be eligible, Chalkbeat Colorado first reported. State officials largely based that estimate on enrollment numbers across the country and from the Denver preschool program, Roy said.

“Colorado is giving us an indicator that our initial projections are lower than what the uptake will be,” she said.

“And that’s exciting. We have the funding. We need to make sure that … by the fall we have the seats available, and based on the provider uptake, we look like we’re in really great shape.”

So far, 1,477 child care providers

have submitted forms to offer services through the preschool program, with another nearly 1,000 forms that providers have started but not yet submitted, according to the department. Based on the number of providers who plan to participate in the program, 60,000 slots are available for kids, nearly double the department’s initial expectation, said Melissa Mares, director of early childhood initiatives for the Colorado Children’s Campaign.

The first round of applications for families closes Feb. 14, but the expanded preschool program is not first come, first served. Instead, the department will evaluate all families’ applications at the same time and use an analytics system that will consider a variety of factors when matching families to preschool settings — including home-based, center-based and

least $6,000 a year and give every child the best possible start in life,” Polis said during his speech.

Department of Early Childhood spokesperson Hope Shuler noted that preschool applications swelled during and after Polis’ address. The department’s website encountered few technology challenges amid the flurry of applications, running slowly the first 15 minutes of the day but then resolved and managed the intake of applications, she said.

The department will likely launch a second round of applications for families and possibly a third, depending on the flow of applications.

If the majority of eligible children have applied by the end of the first or second round, Roy said, “we’ll adapt as needed.”

Meanwhile, the department is also focused on establishing academic standards, assessments and curriculum support for all types of preschool providers, she noted, while also approving curriculum that some providers already use.

“We have a lot to do before fall,” Roy said, “but we plan on having many of the important areas that were identified by the statute in place before the summer comes.”

school-based programs. Those factors include transportation, whether families want a full day of preschool and whether a program is listed as a family’s first choice. When applying, parents and caregivers can select up to five preschool programs, ranking their preferred programs starting with their top choice.

The application is available in English, Spanish and Arabic and takes no more than 15 minutes to complete, Mares said, adding that the state has created the application by asking, “how can we best take (the) burden off of families?”

All 4-year-olds in the state will be eligible for at least 15 hours of free preschool per week — close to a half day of care. Additionally, some 3-year-olds will qualify for 10 hours of free preschool per week, including those with a disability, from low-income families, facing housing insecurity, learning English or living in foster care.

The state’s newly expanded preschool program was made possible by Colorado taxpayers in 2020, when voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition EE, which raised taxes on cigarettes and other products containing nicotine partly to fund more preschool for Colorado kids.

Providing free hours of preschool to families has been a major goal of Gov. Jared Polis, who has championed early childhood education since he first ran for governor. Polis touted the launch of the application window for expanded preschool during his State of the State address Tuesday.

The program “will save families at

Summary of Claims: This Application seeks approval of a plan for augmentation including exchange for the Lake Ditch water right, inclusive of evaporation from the Silver Tip Lakes, and two wells serving six residential units, all located on a 32-acre parcel of land located in the NW1/4 NW1/4, Section 18, Township 7 South, Range 73 West of the 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado, presently known as 86 Cline Drive East, Shawnee, Colorado 80475 (“Subject Property”). APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF A PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION INCLUDING EXCHANGE 3. Name of Structures to be Augmented: The structures to be augmented pursuant to this plan for augmentation are: (i) The Lake Ditch structure including the Silver Tip Lakes (four lakes in total), all associated with the Lake Ditch water right described below; and (ii) the Silver Tip Well Nos. 1 and 2 (“Subject Wells”), (together the “Augmented Structures”). The Augmented Structures are located on the Subject Property, as shown on the map attached as Exhibit A. The Subject Property is located in the drainage of the North Fork of the South Platte River, tributary to the South Platte River. The rate of diversion for the Subject Wells will not exceed 15 gallons per minute each. The Subject Wells will operate pursuant to this plan for augmentation. However, if the demands outlined herein cannot be met with existing well(s), the McGowans will drill or re-drill the Subject Wells. If the Subject Wells are required to be re-drilled, the exact location of the Subject Wells will be determined at the time of drilling and will be reflected in the well permit and construction report for the Subject Wells. Return flows from the use of the Subject Wells will be via septic tank-soil absorption system where the return flows are returned to the same drainage in which the wells are located. a. Lake Ditch: In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1839 of the Park County District Court, on January 25, 1922, the Lake Ditch was decreed a date of appropriation of May 30, 1892, for a constant flow of 10.25 cubic feet per second for the propagation of fish in Silver Tip Lakes and domestic use. The headgate of the Lake Ditch is situated at a point on the northeast bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River whence the Southwest Corner of Section 7, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, bears North 21 minutes East 851 feet. The Lake Ditch will be operated in-priority during the non-irrigation season for its decreed uses including the propagation of fish, as described in more detail below. However, during the irrigation season, the Lake Ditch will operate whenever out-of-priority pursuant to this plan for augmentation. The call record from 2008 through 2022 demonstrates the availability of the Lake Ditch water right, as shown in Exhibit B. The depletions associated with fish propagation to be replaced pursuant to this augmentation plan for operation of the Lake Ditch for fish propagation purposes are equivalent to the evaporation from the Silver Tip Lakes. 4. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation Purposes: Applicants have entered into a contract with North Fork Associates, LLC to purchase 561 shares of Mountain Mutual Reservoir Company (“MMRC”) stock, which represents a firm annual yield of 17.614 of an acre-foot to satisfy present and anticipated future replacement needs associated with the Augmented Structures. a. The water rights associated with the MMRC shares include the following: i. Slaght Ditch: In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of the Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Slaght Ditch was awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 2.0 cubic feet per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch was originally established to be a point on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, of Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 2,060 feet North and 490 feet West of the SE Corner of Section 21. Pursuant to a Decree entered by the District Court for Water Division 1 in Case No. 82CW472, on October 3, 1983, the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch was approved as an alternate point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch water right. The point of diversion of the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch is located on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NW1/4 SW1/4, Section 22, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 1,240 feet East and 1,740 feet North of the SW Corner of Section 22. In Case No. 79CW339, 0.12 of a cubic foot per second of the Slaght Ditch priority was changed to a new location, with the water continuing to be used for irrigation purposes. Of the remaining 1.872 cubic feet per second, 0.481 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 03CW238 and 0.727 was transferred in Case No. 16CW3197. ii. Mack Ditch No. 2: In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of the Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Mack Ditch No. 2 was awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 1.0 cubic foot per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion of the Mack Ditch No. 2 was originally established to be on the South bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River at a point in the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado whence the E1/4 Corner of said Section 21 bears North 43° East, a distance of 984 feet more or less. By an Order of the Park County District Court entered on October 17, 1927, the point of diversion was moved approximately 789 feet upstream to a point on the South bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., whence the E1/4 Corner of said Section 21 bears North 79° 30’ East, a distance of 1,292 feet, more or less. In Case Nos. W-7503, W-7548, 80CW080, 80CW455, 81CW143, 81CW298, and 89CW081, a total of 0.1191 of a cubic foot per second of Mack Ditch No. 2 water right was transferred out of the ditch for uses other than irrigation. Of the remaining 0.8809 of a cubic foot per second, 0.44045 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 03CW238. iii. Nickerson No. 2 Ditch: The Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, with a South Platte Priority No. 262 and North Fork Drainage Priority No. 24 has an appropriation date of May 1, 1872, as adjudicated by the District Court for Park County on May 22, 1913, in the amount of 0.65 of a cubic-foot-per-second. The headgate is located on the North bank of Deer Creek at a point whence the E1/4 Corner, Section 9, Township 7 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., bears North 58° 15’ East, 2,320 feet and has historically irrigated approximately 35 acres adjacent to Deer Creek in the SE1/4 Section 9, NW1/4 Section 15, and NE1/4 Section 16, Township 7 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M. all in Park County. iv. Parmalee No. 1 Ditch: The Parmalee No. 1 Ditch, with a South Platte Priority No. 251 and North Fork Drainage Priority No. 14 has an appropriation date of May 1, 1867, as adjudicated by the District Court for Park County on May 22, 1913, in the amount of 0.52 of a cubic-foot-per-second. In that Decree the headgate was located on the North bank of Deer Creek at a point whence the S1/4 Corner of Section 32, Township 6 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., bears South 70° 6’ East, 1,210 feet. Water Division No. 1 District Court Case No. W-7434 changed the location of the headgate to the Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, as shown above. v. Carruthers No. 2 Ditch: The Carruthers No. 2 Ditch, with a South Platte Priority No. 250 and North Fork Drainage Priority No. 13 has an appropriation date of May 1, 1867, as adjudicated by the District Court for Park County on May 22, 1913, in the amount of 0.52 of a cubic-foot-per-second. In that Decree the headgate was located on the North bank of Deer Creek at a point whence the S1/4 Corner between Sections 31 and 32, Township 6 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., bears North 85° 30’ East, 1,398 feet.

Water Division No. 1 District Court Case No. W-7434 changed the location of the headgate for 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second to the Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, as shown above. This 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second is included in this contract. vi. Guiraud 3T Ditch. MMRC owns 3.481 cubic feet per second of the water rights decreed in the Guiraud 3T Ditch as follows: Adjudication Date Oct. 18, 1889 (Original Adjudication Water District 23)

Appropriation Date July 1, 1867

Amount 20 cfs

The Guiraud 3T Ditch headgate is located on the South bank of the Middle Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4, Section 8, Township 11 South, Range 76 West, 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado, at a point whence the Northeast Corner of the NE1/4 of said Section 8 bears North 63° 35” East, 1,305 feet. Originally decreed for irrigation uses, this water right has been subject to various change proceedings. Past decrees have determined the average annual consumptive use under the Guiraud 3T Ditch to be 21.825 acre-feet per year per 1.0 cfs. MMRC therefore owns 75.972 acre-feet of consumptive use replacement water associated with its 3.481 cfs interest in the Guiraud 3T Ditch. The firm yield of Guiraud 3T Ditch owned by MMRC is attached as Exhibit C. b. Firm Yield of Slaght Ditch Rights: The Slaght Ditch and Mack Ditch No. 2 water rights described herein shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Slaght Ditch Rights.” Allocation of yield to Slaght Ditch Rights is attached as Exhibit D. The Decree issued in Case No. 03CW238, dated October 24, 2006, quantified the historic consumptive use associated with the Slaght Ditch Rights. The terms and conditions under which these water rights are used for augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage purposes were also defined and approved in Case No. 03CW238, as follows: i. The Slaght Ditch Rights may be left in the stream system to offset depletions from water use by MMRC shareholders. The water may also be stored in the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1 or the Maddox Reservoir. ii. The maximum rate of diversion under the Slaght Ditch Rights is 0.5 of a cubic foot per second. iii. Diversions to storage and/or assignment for in-stream augmentation credits are limited to the period May 1 through October 31 of each year, and are further limited to those times when water is physically and legally available for diversion at the historic Slaght Ditch headgates on the North Fork of the South Platte River. If the May 1, 1867, priority is not fully satisfied to the extent of 2.0 cubic foot per second for the Slaght Ditch and 1.0 cubic foot per second for the Mack Ditch No. 2, MMRC’s diversions are limited to its prorated entitlement to the water when physically and legally available. iv. Maximum annual diversions of the portion of the Slaght Ditch Rights changed in Case No. 03CW238 are limited to 41 acre-feet per year.

During any consecutive ten-year period, the total diversions are further limited to 342 acre-feet. v. Pursuant to the Decree issued in Case No. 16CW3197, the historic consumptive use associated with an additional 0.727 cfs of the Slaght Ditch water right yields 31.8 acre-feet of consumptive use water. c. Firm Yield of Nickerson Ditch Rights: The Nickerson No. 2, Parmalee No. 1, and Carruthers No. 2 Ditches are referred to herein as the “Nickerson Ditch Rights.” The Decree issued in Case No. 00CW174, dated October 11, 2002, quantified the historic consumptive use associated with the Nickerson Ditch Rights. The terms and conditions under which the Nickerson Ditch Rights are used for augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage purposes were also defined and approved in Case No. 00CW174, as follows: i. The Nickerson Ditch Rights may be left in the stream system to offset depletions from water use by MMRC shareholders. The water may also be stored in the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1, Maddox Reservoir and other MMRC reservoirs within the South Platte River Basin located above South Platte, Colorado; provided, however, that the details of storage in another reservoir will be published in the Water Court Resume, or such storage is approved by the State Engineer pursuant to Sections 37-80-120 and 37-92-308, C.R.S. (2002). ii. The maximum rate of diversion under the Nickerson Ditch Rights is 0.8 of a cubic foot per second. Diversions are limited to the May 1, 1867, priorities decreed to the Parmalee Ditch No. 1 and the Carruthers Ditch No. 2. iii. Diversions to storage and/or assignment for in-stream augmentation credit are limited to the period April 23

the diversion rate is reduced to the flow, which is then physically and legally available. iv. Maximum monthly diversions under the Nickerson Ditch Rights are limited as follows: April, 2.0 acre-feet; May, 16.0 acre-feet; June, 19.0 acre-feet; July, 16.0 acre-feet; August, 10.0 acre-feet; Appropriation Date are limited to 62 acre-feet Amount September, 7.0 acre-feet;Adjudication and October, 4.0 acre-feet.

Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation Purposes: Johnson has entered into a contract with North Fork Associates, LLC to purchase 19.1 shares of Mountain Mutual Reservoir Company (“MMRC”) stock, which represents a firm annual yield of 0.601 of an acre-foot to satisfy present and anticipated future replacement needs associated with the Augmented Structures. a. The water rights associated with the MMRC shares include the following: i. Slaght Ditch: In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Slaght Ditch was awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 2.0 cubic feet per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch was originally established to be a point on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, of Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 2,060 feet North and 490 feet West of the SE Corner of Section 21. Pursuant to a Decree entered by the District Court for Water Division 1 in Case No. 82CW472, on October 3, 1983, the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch was approved as an alternate point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch water right. The point of diversion of the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch is located on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NW1/4 SW1/4, Section 22, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 1,240 feet East and 1,740 feet North of the SW Corner of Section 22. In Case No. 79CW339, 0.12 of a cubic foot per second of the Slaght Ditch priority was changed to a new location, with the water continuing to be used for irrigation purposes. Of the remaining 1.872 cubic feet per second, 0.481 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 03CW238 and 0.727 was transferred in Case No. 16CW3197. ii. Mack Ditch No. 2: In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of the Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Mack Ditch No. 2 was awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 1.0 cubic foot per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion of the Mack Ditch No. 2 was originally established to be on the South bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River at a point in the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado whence the E1/4 Corner of said Section 21 bears North 43° East, a distance of 984 feet more or less. By an Order of the Park County District Court entered on October 17, 1927, the point of diversion was moved approximately 789 feet upstream to a point on the South bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., whence the E1/4 Corner of said Section 21 bears North 79° 30’ East, a distance of 1,292 feet, more or less. In Case Nos. W-7503, W-7548, 80CW080, 80CW455, 81CW143, 81CW298, and 89CW081, a total of 0.1191 of a cubic foot per second of Mack Ditch No. 2 water right was transferred out of the ditch for uses other than irrigation. Of the remaining 0.8809 of a cubic foot per second, 0.44045 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 03CW238. iii. Nickerson No. 2 Ditch: The Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, with a South Platte Priority No. 262 and North Fork Drainage Priority No. 24 has an appropriation date of May 1, 1872, as adjudicated by the District Court for Park County on May 22, 1913, in the amount of 0.65 of a cubic-foot-per-second. The headgate is located on the North bank of Deer Creek at a point whence the E1/4 Corner, Section 9, Township 7 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., bears North 58° 15’ East, 2,320 feet and has historically irrigated approximately 35 acres adjacent to Deer Creek in the SE1/4 Section 9, NW1/4 Section 15, and NE1/4 Section 16, Township 7 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M. all in Park County. iv. Parmalee No. 1 Ditch: The Parmalee No. 1 Ditch, with a South Platte Priority No. 251 and North Fork Drainage Priority No. 14 has an appropriation date of May 1, 1867, as adjudicated by the District Court for Park County on May 22, 1913, in the amount of 0.52 of a cubic-foot-per-second. In that Decree the headgate was located on the North bank of Deer Creek at a point whence the S1/4 Corner of Section 32, Township 6 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., bears South 70° 6’ East, 1,210 feet. Water Division No. 1 District Court Case No. W-7434 changed the location of the headgate to the Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, as shown above. v. Carruthers No. 2 Ditch: The Carruthers No. 2 Ditch, with a South Platte Priority No. 250 and North Fork Drainage Priority No. 13 has an appropriation date of May 1, 1867, as adjudicated by the District Court for Park County on May 22, 1913, in the amount of 0.52 of a cubic-foot-per-second. In that Decree the headgate was located on the North bank of Deer Creek at a point whence the S1/4 Corner between Sections 31 and 32, Township 6 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., bears North 85° 30’ East, 1,398 feet.

Water Division No. 1 District Court Case No. W-7434 changed the location of the headgate for 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second to the Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, as shown above. This 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second is included in this contract. b. Firm Yield of Slaght Ditch Rights: The Slaght Ditch and Mack Ditch No. 2 water rights described herein shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Slaght Ditch Rights.” Allocation of yield to Slaght Ditch Rights is attached as Exhibit B. The Decree issued in Case No. 03CW238, dated October 24, 2006, quantified the historic consumptive use associated with the Slaght Ditch Rights. The terms and conditions under which these water rights are used for augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage purposes were also defined and approved in Case No. 03CW238, as follows: i. The Slaght Ditch Rights may be left in the stream system to offset depletions from water use by MMRC shareholders. The water may also be stored in the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1 or the Maddox Reservoir. ii. The maximum rate of diversion under the Slaght Ditch Rights is 0.5 of a cubic foot per second. iii. Diversions to storage and/or assignment for in-stream augmentation credit are limited to the period May 1 through October 31 of each year, and are further limited to those times when water is physically and legally available for diversion at the historic Slaght Ditch headgates on the North Fork of the South Platte River. If the May 1, 1867, priority is not fully satisfied to the extent of 2.0 cubic foot per second for the Slaght Ditch and 1.0 cubic foot per second for the Mack Ditch No. 2, MMRC’s diversions are limited to its prorated entitlement to the water when physically and legally available. iv. Maximum annual diversions of the portion of the Slaght Ditch Rights changed in 03CW238 are limited to 41 acre-feet per year. During any consecutive ten-year period, the total diversions are further limited to 342 acre-feet. v. Pursuant to the Decree issued in Case No. 16CW3197, the historic consumptive use associated with an additional 0.727 cfs of the Slaght Ditch water right yields 31.8 acre-feet of consumptive use water. c. Firm Yield of Nickerson Ditch Rights: The Nickerson No. 2, Parmalee No. 1, and Carruthers No. 2 Ditches are referred to herein as the “Nickerson Ditch Rights.” The Decree issued in Case No. 00CW174, dated October 11, 2002, quantified the historic consumptive use associated with the Nickerson Ditch Rights. The terms and conditions under which the Nickerson Ditch Rights are used for augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage purposes were also defined and approved in Case No. 00CW174, as follows: i. The Nickerson Ditch Rights may be left in the stream system to offset depletions from water use by MMRC shareholders. The water may also be stored in the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1, Maddox Reservoir and other MMRC reservoirs within the South Platte River Basin located above South Platte, Colorado; provided, however, that the details of storage in another reservoir will be published in the Water Court Resume, or such storage is approved by the State Engineer pursuant to Sections 37-80-120 and 37-92-308, C.R.S. (2002). ii. The maximum rate of diversion under the Nickerson Ditch Rights is 0.8 of a cubic foot per second. Diversions are limited to the May 1, 1867, priorities decreed to the Parmalee Ditch No. 1 and the Carruthers Ditch No. 2. iii. Diversions to storage and/or assignment for in-stream augmentation credit are limited to the period April 23 through October 31 of each year, and are further limited to those times when water is physical and legally available for diversion at the historic Nickerson Ditch No. 2 headgate on Deer Creek. If the May 1, 1867, priority is not fully satisfied to the extent of 0.8 of a cubic foot per second, the diversion rate is reduced to the flow, which is then physically and legally available. iv. Maximum monthly diversions under the Nickerson Ditch Rights are limited as follows: April, 2.0 acre-feet; May, 16.0 acre-feet; June, 19.0 acre-feet; July, 16.0 acre-feet; August, 10.0 acre-feet; September, 7.0 acre-feet; and October, 4.0 acre-feet. Maximum annual diversions are limited to 62 acrefeet per year. During any consecutive ten-year period, total diversions are further limited to 486 acre-feet. The Nickerson Ditch rights are claimed as an alternate replacement supply in this matter. d. Maddox Reservoir: The Maddox Reservoir is located in the NE1/4 SW1/4, Section 22, Township 7 South, Range 73 West of the 6th P.M. in Park County. It was adjudicated on November 11, 1971, with an appropriation date of May 31, 1905. It is decreed for multiple purposes including irrigation, domestic, fish culture and recreation with a capacity of 54.0 acre-feet. It is filled by the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch, which diverts from the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4, SE1/4, SW1/4, Section 22, Township 7 South, Range 73 West of the 6th P.M. and decreed as an alternate point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch. Allocation of yield to Maddox Reservoir is attached as Exhibit C. e. Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir: The Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir Company, a Colorado corporation, owns and operates the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1. The reservoir is located in the NE1/4 NW1/4, Section 32, and the SE1/4 SW1/4, Section 29, Township 9 South, Range 77 West, 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado. North Fork Associates owns 932

(See Exhibits “B” and “C” respectively). The calculated requirements of the direct flow water rights from May through October are a total of 0.475 of an acre-foot at the point of depletion on Pine Gulch in the SE1/4 NW1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 71 West of the 6th P.M. The point of delivery of this water will be the headgate of the Slaght Ditch on the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 21, and the outlet of Maddox Reservoir in the SE1/4 SW1/4, Section 22, all in Township 7 South, Range 73 West of the 6th P.M. During the irrigation season during the months of May through October, out-of-priority depletions to the stream system will be continuously augmented by MMRC foregoing the diversion of a portion of its Slaght/Mack Ditch Rights. During the non-irrigation season during the months of November through April, and at times when the Slaght Ditch Rights are not in priority, replacement will be made by release from Maddox Reservoir. The total requirement at the points of exchange at the confluence of Pine Gulch and the North Fork of the South Platte River in the SW1/4 SW1/4, Section 27, Township 7 South, Range 71 West is 0.601 of an acre-foot of replacement water. c. The required volume of augmentation water will be provided from the sources described in Paragraph No. 5, above. Due to the small volume of annual stream depletions projected to occur under this plan, instantaneous stream depletions may be aggregated and replaced by one or more releases of short duration. 7. Water Exchange Project and Appropriative Right of Exchange: Since the point of depletion associated with the Augmented Structures are upstream of the augmentation supplies, Applicants assert an exchange project right pursuant to Sections 37-92-103(9), 37-92-302(1)(a), 37-92-302(5), 37-92-305(3), 37-92-305(5), and 37-92-305(8)(a), C.R.S and an appropriative right of exchange pursuant to Sections 37-80-120 and 37-83-104, C.R.S. The reach of these exchanges shall extend from the confluence of Pine Gulch and the North Fork of the South Platte River in the SW1/4 SW1/4, Section 27, Township 7 South, Range 71 West thence up Pine Gulch to the point of depletion in the SE1/4 NW1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 71 West. In the event that there is a senior call within the exchange project or exchange reach that precludes the exchange, the Applicants can have replacement water delivered via trucking to make replacements above the calling water right or release water from an onsite container. The exchange project right will operate to replace depletions to the flow of water in the stream system as the depletions occur. The water exchange project right and appropriative right of exchange will each be operated and administered with a priority date of December 30, 2022, at a maximum flow rate of 0.01 of a cubic foot per second. WHEREFORE, Applicants request the entry of a decree approving this Application, specifically (1) granting the appropriations sought in this Application, (2) authorizing use of the augmentation supplies described in this Application, (3) determining that the source and location of delivery of augmentation water are sufficient to prevent material injury to vested water rights. The Applicants also request entry of an Order directing the State Engineer to issue well permits for the construction and use of, or any replacement well permits required, for the Pine Valley Well Nos. 1, 2, and 3 consistent with the final decree entered in this case.

Describe conditional water right (as to each structure) giving the following from the Referee’s ruling and judgment and decree: A. Date of original decree: December 4, 2002, Case No.: 99CW225, Court: Water Court, Water Division No. 1. B. Subsequent diligence decrees were awarded by the Water Court, Water Division No. 1, in Case No. 2008CW303 on May 6, 2010, and Case No. 2016CW3078 on December 29, 2016. C. Decreed Locations: i.The decreed legal description of the point of diversion of the Morrison Quarry Pipeline No. 2 is at a point lying in the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 10, Township 5 South, Range 70 West of the 6th P.M. from which the NE Corner of said Section 10 bears N 33°15'07" E a distance of 1835.66' and from which NE Corner the North 1/4 Corner of said Section 10 bears S 89°40'25" W a distance of 2580.59 feet and from which North 1/4 Corner the point lies S 45°59'33" E a distance of 2188.41 feet, Town of Morrison, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado. The Morrison Quarry Pipeline No. 2 will deliver water to the Morrison Quarry Reservoirs No. 1 and 2. ii. The Morrison Quarry Reservoir No. 1 is an off-channel reservoir whose decreed location is in the NE and SE Quarter Sections of Section 10, Township 5 South, Range 70 West, 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado. iii. The Morrison Quarry Reservoir No. 2 is an off-channel reservoir whose original decreed location is in the NE Quarter Section of Section 10, Township 5 South, Range 70 West, 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado. The decree in Case No. 09CW33 corrected the legal description as follows: in the N1/2, NE1/4 and SE1/4NE 1/4 of Section 10, and in the W1/2, NW 1/4 of Section 11, all in Township 5 South, Range 70 West of the 6th P.M. in Jefferson County, Colorado. The decreed locations of the Morrison Quarry Pipeline No. 2 and the Morrison Quarry Reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 are shown on Exhibit A. D. Source: Strain Gulch via the Morrison Quarry Pipeline No. 2, tributary to Bear Creek, tributary to the South Platte River. E. Appropriation date: December 27, 1999. F. Amounts: i. Morrison Quarry Pipeline No. 2: 20 cfs conditional. ii. Morrison Quarry Reservoir No. 1: 650 AF conditional. iii. Morrison Quarry Reservoir No. 2: 3,000 AF conditional. G. Use:

Irrigation, agricultural, commercial, industrial, and all municipal uses and the right to exchange, for irrigation, agricultural, commercial, industrial, and all municipal uses, including but not limited to, domestic, manufacturing, industrial, power generation, fire protection, sewage treatment, street sprinkling, irrigation of parks, lawns and grounds, recreational, piscatorial, maintenance and preservation of wildlife and aesthetic values, lake and reservoir evaporation, augmentation and replacement, adjustment and regulation of municipal water systems, including further exchange with municipal or industrial water systems, and other such water uses. H. Point of Diversion: The decree in Case No. 99CW225 provides that water will be diverted to storage in the Morrison Quarry Reservoir Nos. 1 and 2 from the Morrison Quarry Pipeline No. 2, located as described in paragraph 3.C.i above. 4. Additional Information from Decree.

Paragraph 7 of the decree in Case No. 99CW225 provides the following explanatory provision: “The Morrison Quarry Reservoirs No. 1 and No. 2 were conditionally decreed in Case No. 95CW126 for storage of 650 acre-feet and 3,000 acre-feet respectively. The sources of water decreed for diversion to these reservoirs in Case No. 95CW126 are direct diversions from Bear Creek via two intakes and diversion from Strain Gulch via the previously-decreed 1.0 cfs Cooley Morrison Quarry Pipeline. Applicants have since determined that during certain times of the year, inflows to Strain Gulch are greater than the capacity of the 1.0 cfs Cooley Morrison Quarry Pipeline which was approved for diversions of Strain Gulch inflows into the reservoirs in Case No. 95CW126.

Applicants here seek to store water in the Morrison Quarry Reservoir No. 1 and No. 2 via the Morrison Quarry Pipeline No. 2, providing a point of diversion to storage in addition to the points of diversion decreed in Case No. 95CW126. The maximum amount of water that may be stored annually in Morrison Quarry Reservoir No.1 pursuant to the decree in Case No. 95CW126 and this decree will not exceed 650 acre-feet, and the maximum amount of water that may be stored annually in Morrison Quarry Reservoir No. 2 pursuant to the decree in Case No. 95CW126 and this decree will not exceed 3,000 acre-feet. The purpose and intent of this decree is to provide an additional location from which water may be diverted from Strain Gulch to storage in the Morrison Quarry Reservoir No. 1 and No. 2.” 5. Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures. A. To provide water supplies to current and anticipated future customers, Morrison owns and operates water rights, augmentation plans decreed in Case Nos. 82CW425 and 87CW301, and storage rights, including the water rights decreed in Case No. 99CW225. Morrison has diligently pursued development of these water rights, which are part of Morrison’s integrated water supply system. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b), when an integrated system is composed of several features, as is the case here, work on one feature of the system is considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the entire system. During this diligence period, Morrison has expended in excess of $2,000,000.00 to develop and improve its water system infrastructure. Such expenditures included activities related to expansion of the water treatment plant, pump stations, water tanks, chlorination, and other supplies. B. Morrison has committed to provide treated municipal water supplies to the Red Rocks Ranch, within the Mt. Carbon Metropolitan District (“Mt. Carbon”).

Providing treated water to Red Rocks Ranch as well as its other customers will require a greater reliance on use of water stored in the Morrison Quarry Reservoirs. During this diligence period, Morrison and Mt. Carbon have developed plans and preliminary designs, cost estimates, and schedules for needed water system infrastructure, including upgrades to Morrison’s Bear Creek diversion facilities and the pumps and pipeline required to deliver water from Bear Creek to Morrison Quarry Reservoir No. 2. The Morrison Quarry Pipeline No. 2 will further support reservoir storage by allowing rapid storage from Strain Gulch when water is available. C. Morrison has operated its augmentation plans since they were decreed in 1985 and 1988, respectively, and has provided the accountings for its water rights as required by the water commissioner and the Division Engineer. During this diligence period, the Division Engineer requested Morrison to update its water accounting reports to facilitate administration, and Morrison has done so at a cost of approximately $44,000. D. During this diligence period, Holcim has diligently pursued development of the water rights that are the subject of this Application, which are part of Holcim’s integrated water supply system per Paragraph 15 of the decree entered December 29, 2016, in Case No. 2016CW3078 (Water Division No. 1). Holcim’s activities during the diligence period include, but are not limited to, the following: i. During the diligence period, Holcim spent over $1,400,000 on engineering services associated with mining operations at Morrison Quarry, as the same have been expanded and may be expanded in the future. Mining operations at Morrison Quarry are prerequisite to completing development of water delivery and storage structures at Morrison Quarry. See, e.g., Paragraph 9(E) of the decree entered December 4, 2002, in Case No. 1999CW225 (Water Division No. 1). The engineering services included (1) design evaluations and project management for quarrying operations, including in connection with highwalls, haul roads, and site drainage; and (2) permit management and compliance, including geotechnical and hydrogeologic data collection and analysis, inspections, and technical revisions and modifications (e.g., AM-06, AM-07) to Holcim’s Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (“DRMS”) permit, No. M-1973-021. ii. During the diligence period, Holcim spent over $125,000 for water engineering services associated with (1) operating Holcim’s water rights that are decreed for storage in Morrison Quarry Reservoir Nos. 1 and 2 for use in connection with Holcim’s mining activities, including coordinating diversions and releases, monthly water accounting, decreed reporting obligations, and technical support for water court applications and statements of opposition; (2) coordinating agreements for joint use of water delivery and/or storage facilities; (3) designing, constructing, and operating measurement equipment; and (4) evaluating the potential for augmentation and replacement use of water rights storable in Morrison Quarry Reservoir Nos. 1 and 2 for out-ofpriority depletions that may occur in connection with Holcim’s mining activities in the South Platte

River basin. iii. During the diligence period, Holcim spent approximately $3,000 for an engineering evaluation to study and characterize the hydrology of the Strain Gulch watershed, including investigation of siting and design of measuring devices for the stream. iv. During the diligence period, Holcim spent approximately $196,000 in legal fees for (1) ongoing and future compliance with governmental approvals associated with land- and water-use activities at Morrison Quarry, including without limitation, Holcim’s Amended Planned Unit Development-Industrial, DRMS permit (as amended by AM-07 and other permit amendments), and applicable water court decrees; (2) prosecution of applications for findings of reasonable diligence for Holcim’s Morrison Quarry Reservoirs (Case No. 19CW3256) and Bowles Reservoir Exchange (Case No. 20CW3092), in which cases the Water Court continued in full force and effect conditional water rights that constitute part of Holcim’s integrated water supply system; (3) negotiation of a yearround return flow delivery agreement in connection with use of Holcim’s changed Bowles Reservoir Company shares, which are decreed for storage at Morrison Quarry; and (4) representation of Holcim as an opposer in water court proceedings to protect Holcim’s water rights in Division 1, including the Morrison Quarry Reservoir water rights, in cases filed by others for water rights that posed a risk of injury to Holcim’s rights in the absence of appropriate terms and conditions. E. During this diligence period, Morrison and Holcim worked cooperatively to develop the usable storage capacity in Morrison Quarry Reservoir No. 2, pursuant to their Annexation Agreement dated October 31, 1994, and amendments thereto. In connection with Holcim’s intent to amend its mining plan for the Morrison Quarry, Morrison and Holcim, together with their consultants, have evaluated the operation of Morrison Quarry Reservoir No. 2, options for improved infrastructure for delivery of water to and release of water from Morrison Quarry Reservoir No. 2, and options for increased storage resulting from future planned mining at the Morrison Quarry. Morrison and Holcim have expended legal and consulting fees in this process. F. During this diligence period, Morrison has expended in excess of $98,000 in legal fees with its water counsel in connection with Morrison’s cooperative activities with Holcim, and to maintain and protect Morrison’s own water rights by obtaining findings of reasonable diligence in the development of conditional water rights decreed for storage in the Morrison Quarry Reservoirs, including Case No. 19CW3258 (in which a portion of the water right originally decreed in Case No. 81CW358 was made absolute) and Case No. 19CW3256, and by participating as an opposer in water rights applications filed by others in order to protect its water rights (including the conditional rights decreed in Case No. 99CW225), and to develop and implement reservoir operation agreements and other contracts to facilitate use of Morrison’s water rights. In addition, Morrison has spent over $390,000 on engineering services related to the above activities as well as water rights accounting, coordination with the water commissioner for diversion, storage, and release of Morrison’s water rights, modeling and sizing of future raw water diversion and transmission facilities, troubleshooting raw water conveyance issues, and modeling of future water availability scenarios related to climate change projections.

This determination applied only to the Leyden Creek “exchange to” points associated with the Manhart Ditch Exchange as adjudicated in Case No. 00CW264 and no other conditional exchanges. Consequently, the Leyden Creek diversion points originally adjudicated as “exchange to” points in the decree in Case No. 00CW264 are no longer included in the legal descriptions provided above. 3. Description of conditional water right: A. Manhart Ditch Exchange i. Date of Original Decree: December 15, 2009, Case No. 00CW264, District Court, Water Division No. 1. ii. Diligence Decree: Case No. 15CW3161, Water Court Division 1, State of Colorado, decreed on December 7, 2016. iii. Legal Description: In Case No. 00CW264, Westminster obtained a decree for a conditional appropriative rights of exchange involving the exchange of water from the Manhart Ditch headgate located as described in paragraph 2.A., above, to the Church Ditch, located as described in paragraph 2.B., above, the Farmers’ High Line Canal, located as described in paragraph 2.C., above, and the Croke Canal, located as described in paragraph 2.D., above. iv. Source: Clear Creek and Ralston Creek, all tributary to the South Platte River. v. Appropriation Date: December 28, 2000, Case No. 00CW264. vi. Amount: Pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 00CW264, Westminster’s Manhart Ditch Exchange is limited to specific monthly flow rates (in c.f.s.) as set forth in the table below: April (c.f.s.) 0.09 May (c.f.s.) 0.09 June (c.f.s.) 0.19 July (c.f.s.) 0.22 August (c.f.s.) 0.12 Sept. (c.f.s.) 0.04 Oct. (c.f.s.) 0.04 In accordance with the decree in Case No. 00CW264, these limitations are reflective of the amount of depletions which would have occurred during the irrigation season. As such, when Westminster is diverting by exchange subject to the monthly limitations set forth above, the required return flows are left in the stream and the resulting diversions by exchange are fully consumable. In Case No. 15CW3161, the Court ruled that .12 c.f.s. of the conditional Manhart Ditch Exchange was made absolute, and entered a finding of diligence as to the remaining conditional amounts. vii.

Use: Augmentation and all beneficial uses of the municipal water system of Westminster, including but not limited to municipal, irrigation, domestic, commercial, industrial, recreation, and fish and wildlife, and the right to accomplish such uses through exchange and storage, or, replacement pursuant to a court decreed plan for augmentation or administratively approved substitute supply plan. 4. Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application to a beneficial use: A. During the diligence period, Westminster operated the Manhart Ditch Exchange in accordance with the requirements of the decree in Case No. 00CW264 and applied the diverted water to beneficial use. Specifically, with the advanced approval of the Clear Creek Water Commissioners, on July 27, 2022, 0.22 c.f.s. of water was diverted by exchange pursuant to the Manhart Ditch Exchange from the Manhart Ditch headgate to the Farmers’ High Line Canal headgate on Clear Creek and applied to beneficial use. Relevant accounting regarding the operation of this exchange is attached as Exhibit A. B. The Manhart Ditch Exchange decreed in Case No. 00CW264 is part of Westminster’s Clear Creek Water Supply System, an integrated system under § 37-92-30 l(4)(b), C.R.S. During the diligence period, Westminster has continued the development of its Clear Creek Water Supply System. Activities have included, among other things: acquisition of additional interests in water on Clear Creek and its tributaries and the South Platte River; exercising conditional exchanges and making portions absolute or obtaining diligence decrees on the remaining conditional portions; and, participation in numerous Water Court cases for purposes of protecting, maintaining and developing Westminster’s Water Supply System. Expenses associated with these activities were incurred during the diligence period. A map setting forth the general locations of relevant structures in Westminster’s Water Supply System is attached as Exhibit B. C. During the diligence period, Westminster continued to operate under the carriage agreement with the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company for the use of excess capacity in the Farmers’ High Line Canal. This agreement allows Westminster to carry additional water through the Farmers’ High Line Canal, including water exchanged to the Farmers’ High Line Canal in accordance with the decree in Case No. 00CW264. Westminster is contractually obligated to pay an annual fee for use of the Farmers’ High Line Canal. Westminster has continually made these payments during the diligence period. D. During the diligence period, Westminster has also paid funds in the form of ditch assessments to the Church Ditch Water Authority, the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company, FRICO, and the Manhart Ditch Company. Said funds have been used, in part, to maintain the ditches necessary for operation of the conditional exchange. E. During the diligence period, Westminster has diligently operated its portfolio of water rights, including appropriative rights of exchange. Westminster has obtained or is in the process of obtaining decrees from the Water Court making portions of various other conditional exchanges absolute and obtaining findings of diligence as to its water right portfolio.

Costs associated with these efforts have been incurred during the diligence period. F. During the

diligence period, Westminster has participated in a number of water court proceedings in an effort, in part, to protect and maintain return flows to Big Dry Creek and the Clear Creek and South Platte River basins. Costs associated with these efforts were incurred during the diligence period. 5. If Claim to make Absolute in whole or part: In Case No. 00CW264, the Manhart Ditch Exchange was conditionally decreed for varying monthly flow rates, with a maximum flow rate of 0.22 c.f.s.

During this diligence period, on July 27, 2022, with the advanced approval of the Clear Creek Water Commissioners, Westminster diverted 0.22 c.f.s. under the Manhart Ditch Exchange and applied the exchanged water to beneficial use within the City of Westminster’s Municipal Water Supply System. Westminster therefore seeks to make the entirety of the Manhart Ditch Exchange ABSOLUTE. 6. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: The Manhart Ditch headgate, and the Church Ditch, Farmers’ High Line Canal and Croke Canal headgates on Clear Creek are all existing, not new structures. There is no need to modify said structures in order to accomplish the conditional exchanges. On information and belief, new or modified diversion structures from Ralston Creek may be located on lands owned by: Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company, 8399 W. 89th Ave., Westminster, Colorado 80021; Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company, 80 South 27th Avenue, Brighton, Colorado 80601; City of Arvada, 8101 Ralston Road, Arvada, Colorado 80002. Additional notice by certified or register mail, as set forth in § 37-92-302(2)(b), C.R.S., will be provided to these entities. The remaining structures involved with the conditional exchanges are all existing, not new, diversion or storage structures. WHEREFORE, Westminster requests the Court to enter its decree and ruling as follows: A. To issue a finding that the entire 0.22 c.f.s. of the Manhart Ditch Exchange has been made absolute by reason of operation of the exchange and application of the resulting water to decreed beneficial uses; B. In the alternative, to make absolute such lesser amounts of the Manhart Ditch Exchange as the Court deems appropriate and enter a finding of reasonable diligence for any remaining conditional amounts, and to enter a finding of reasonable diligence with respect to any remaining conditionally decreed portion of the Manhart Ditch Exchange originally adjudicated in Case No. 00CW264, and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence for said remaining conditional water right be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence in this matter.

ECCV may also use the Storage Refill Rights as sources of replacement water pursuant to the ECCV 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan decreed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442. The Storage Refill Rights were added as additional sources of replacement water in Case No. 02CW403 on June 29, 2018. Use of the Storage Refill Rights in the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 13CW3026 and in other augmentation plan if such use is approved in a separate Water Court decree or SWSP approved by the State Engineer pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-308(4), or successor statute will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 3196 Decree. 8.2. Use in ECCV’s Recharge Projects. ECCV may use the Storage Refill Rights for recharge by delivering the water to ECCV’s recharge facilities located in the Beebe Draw and on 70 Ranch, and to any other ECCV recharge facility, provided a subsequent decree is entered that authorizes the diversion of such water into such recharge facility. Storage of excess recharge accretion credits by ECCV in any reservoir available to ECCV will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 3196 Decree. In addition, the 3196 Decree allows ECCV to deliver the Storage Refill Rights to the recharge sites described therein, and any existing or future recharge facility to which ECCV is legally permitted to recharge water, including use in an aquifer storage and recovery (“ASR”) project and/or an aquifer recharge and recovery (“ARR”) project pursuant to a subsequent decree authorizing the recharge of the Storage Refill Right in such facility and for ASR and/or ARR uses, so long as the Storage Refill Rights are listed as sources of recharge water in that decree. 8.3. Use in ECCV’s Exchanges.

ECCV may use the Storage Refill Rights as sources of substitute supply for appropriative rights of exchange pursuant to any subsequent decree(s) authorizing use by ECCV of the Storage Refill Rights as substitute supply for exchange.

Pursuant to the 3196 Decree and subject to the requirements in the 3196 Decree, including but not limited to Paragraph 21.3, ECCV may use the Storage Refill Rights, including excess recharge accretions generated by the Storage Refill Rights that have accrued to the Beebe Seep Canal, as sources of substitute supply in the 2016 Exchanges and the 2017 Greeley Canal No. 2 Headgate Exchange decreed therein, and any future exchange operated or decreed by ECCV, provided that use in a future exchange will not occur under the 2016 or 2017 priorities decreed in the 3196 Decree. 8.4. Municipal Uses Within ECCV’s Service Area. ECCV may use the Storage Refill Rights via delivery by a pipeline to ECCV’s surface water treatment plant for treatment and subsequent direct delivery for all municipal uses including, but not limited to, domestic, mechanical, manufacturing, commercial, and industrial, within the service area of ECCV, as it now exists or may exist in the future. 8.5.

Detailed outline of work done for the completion of the conditional appropriation for reasonable diligence. ECCV’s unified, integrated system for the diversion, accretion, collection, storage, transmission, and treatment of water rights (the “Water Supply Project”) was originally designed to provide ECCV with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supply for its service area. The conditional water rights decreed herein are part of the Water Supply Project, which will provide water within ECCV’s present and future service area. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4) (b), for purposes of demonstrating diligence, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of all water rights conditionally decreed herein and shall constitute diligence toward the development of each of the conditional water rights decreed herein. During the diligence period ECCV has done, at a minimum, the following work towards completion or for completion of the appropriations and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed (expenditure numbers are rounded to the nearest $1,000): 9.1. Legal Fees.

Legal fees in the amount of $3,000,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in ECCV’s adjudicatory proceedings for the appropriation of new water rights and changes to existing water rights for ECCV’s Water Supply Project, and water rights protection and opposition. 9.2. Engineering Costs. Engineering costs in the amount of $1,965,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in connection with ECCV’s Water Supply Project, to perform water rights modeling, exchange potential modeling, appropriation of new water rights, changes to existing water rights, water rights protection and opposition, and water rights accounting. 9.3. Additional Replacement Supplies. ECCV has filed applications and obtained decrees in the cases listed below to increase the replacement supplies available under its augmentation plan decrees and facilitate increased diversions in the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field, to add storage facilities and recharge locations, and to add exchanges to aid in moving its replacement water to its places of beneficial use.
