Bill Levis has tracked the ups and downs of utility bills for the past 14 years, first as director of the state Office of Consumer Counsel and then as a consultant for AARP, which represents retirees and older citizens.

And when it comes to electricity bills, especially from the state’s largest provider Xcel Energy, the trend has gone in only one direction — up.

Since 2019 the average monthly residential bill, for 600 kilowatt-hours of electricity, has risen 38% to $92.12, based on company figures.

Utility bills are one of the biggest regular dings to any household’s budget, and with every Xcel announcement, the High Cost of Colorado marches upward.

Thornton council recognizes Jacque Phillips Board removed former councilor in 2022, citing failure to meet residency requirements

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The same board that last year voted to remove Jacque Phillips from city council honored her for her years of service Dec. 5.

Phillips accepted the plaque, calling it “healing” for residents who live in the part of Thornton she represented.

“It was good that they acknowledged me,” she said. “That’s part of the healing for the community; I think it was good for Ward 1.

“When you take voters’ rights away, you’re going to need to remedy that.”

Phillips served six years on the council, representing Ward 1 — the most historic part of Thornton. She

served from 2015 to 2022, when a majority of the board declared her seat vacant.

The decision to declare the vacancy stemmed from her purchase of a

house in Alamosa. Phillips is a special education attorney who in 2021 accepted a contract job as executive director of the Alamosa’s San Luis Valley Board of Cooperative Edu-

cational Services. While she had a home in Thornton, she purchased one in Alamosa because she said it was cheaper than renting. She recently sold it.

In February 2022, five of Thornton’s council members voted to vacate her Ward 1 council seat, saying she no longer met residency requirements. The move came despite strong objections from residents.

The council subsequently voted 5-3 to appoint Eric Garcia to fill the vacancy. Garcia failed in a bid to regain that seat last month, losing to newcomer Justin Martinez.

The decisions to both remove Phillips and appoint Garcia — without allowing Ward 1 residents to vote on either issue — upset many people who live there, and several have repeatedly expressed their concerns at Thornton council meetings.

Many of them were on hand to cheer for her at the Dec. 5 meeting.

Some councilors also praised Phillips for her service.

New Thornton councilors make immediate changes City adds three new faces, shifting board’s political weight toward liberal

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton’s newest city councilors went straight to work, with two of them introducing changes to city procedures just minutes after their Dec. 5 swearing-in.

At new City Councilor Justin Martinez’s suggestion, the council approved changing the time allowed for councilor comments from five minutes to eight.

New City Councilor Chris Russell then convinced the group to do away with its one anonymous vote, making each councilors’ selection

of the mayor pro tem public instead of private.

Thornton swore in three new councilors during the meeting, including Roberta Ayala, Martinez and Russell. Their addition represents significant change on the board, tilting its political bent from largely conservative to liberal.

The three replace former Councilors Eric Garcia, term-limited Adam Matkowsky and Julia Marvin, who gave up her seat to make an unsuccessful run for mayor against Jan Kulmann.

Thornton’s council includes an at-large mayor and eight council members, two elected from each of the city’s four wards.

Martinez defeated Garcia to represent Ward 1 in a contest layered in emotional political history.

Zillow Predicts More Homes for Sale and Improved Affordability Next Year

Zillow’s prediction for the housing market in 2024 rings true for me, as an active real estate broker. Early expectations that mortgage interest rates would fall back below 5% kept some would-be buyers from pulling the trigger, but now it’s beginning to sink in that interest rates will stay high, probably in the 7% range.

Home prices are also moderating a little, so buyers who can tolerate higher interest rates are coming off the fence, just as sellers are noticing that homes are selling well in the current environment, albeit for slightly less than they might have received last year.

Meanwhile, would-be home sellers who locked in 3% or lower interest rates on their current home have been described as “rate locked,” unwilling to give up their low mortgage rate and move up (or down) to another home with a higher interest rate. But Zillow feels that a growing number of such would-be sellers have grown weary of waiting for rates to drop and are ready to bite that bullet.

Another option not mentioned by Zillow in their article is that of selling and moving into a rental, especially if they are seniors who will have a big capital gain (after taxes) that will outlive them, or if they want to keep their options open for

buying in the future or moving to another city, state or country.

Another strategy suggested by Zillow is to hold onto one’s current home as an investment property, generating more than enough rental income to pay for a rental elsewhere. The article assumes that you’ll maintain your current low interest rate on your home, although that rate was for owner-occupied property, not an investment property. If your home has a reverse mortgage, you must pay it off if you move out, which likely means you’d have to sell your home, not put it on the rental market.

Here’s their prediction of the national market for next year: “Zillow’s latest forecast calls for home values to hold steady in 2024, falling 0.2%. Predicting how mortgage rates will move is a nearly impossible task, but recent inflation news gives the impression that rates are likely to hold fairly steady as well in the coming months. Taken together, the cost of buying a home looks to be on track to level off next year, with the possibility of costs falling if mortgage rates do.”

Meanwhile, as we approach the holidays, look at the market statistics in this chart of last week’s MLS activity on REcolorado within 18 miles of downtown Denver. It’s no surprise to me that the biggest number is that of price reductions, yet we are still seeing a healthy number of new listings, listings that went under contract and listings that closed last week. In other words, this is a market that is not stagnating. It is just waiting for more right-priced listings to satisfy pent-up demand by buyers, not all of whom are off the fence — yet.

I’m often asked whether winter is a good time to sell a home. Well, I just listed a $1.5 million home in Golden, and in the first 24 hours of it being “coming soon” on the MLS, over 10 agents with buyers set a showing for it. It drew multiple offers — the first one before showings began — and sold above it’s asking price

in 4 days. I have another listing going on the market in mid-January, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets the same reception.

It’s all about knowing the right price in that listing’s neighborhood. These two listings just happen to be in highly desirable subdivisions and in excellent condition. A listing elsewhere might get fewer showings and end up becoming one of the “price reduced” statistics.

Winter, I’ve found, is a great time to list a home because there are still lots of buyers getting automated email alerts of new listings, and there are fewer listings competing for their attention.

The amount of new construction in the Denver metro area, especially of apartment buildings, has been dazzling. All year, for example, I’ve been following the construction of a 340-unit apartment building across from my 2-bed-room rental at Solana Lakewood, and last week Rita and I moved into a 3-bedroom rental in GW Apartments, a brand new building on South Golden Road. A block away on the other side of South Golden Road, there’s a yellow rezoning sign stating that a 353unit mixed-use project is planned on what is currently vacant land.

Yes, new single-family homes are still being built, but they are far outnumbered by rental apartment buildings, and it’s not slowing down.

About a decade ago, the construction of condos stalled because of a surge in construction defect litigation by lawyers representing condo associations the way personal injury lawyers operate. Legislation was eventually passed to reduce the incidence of such lawsuits, but it didn’t bring

back the construction of condos as many observers had expected.

Developers accelerated the building of rental units as condo development stalled, and it just kept accelerating after that construction defect issue was mitigated. The completion of the FasTracks’ light rail and commuter rail project created a boom in TOD — transit-oriented development, almost entirely rental apartment buildings — within blocks of virtually every light rail and commuter rail station.

Now, with the cost of mortgage lending so much higher — more than doubled in the past 20 months — the boom in apartment construction and demand remains unabated. Meanwhile, we’re seeing a slowdown in single-family construction, with the emphasis on higher-density multi-unit construction.

There is also a new emphasis on local governments allowing single-family lots to add ADUs — accessory dwelling units — which is further increasing housing density across the metro area.

Westminster bids farewell to three councilors, welcomes newcomers Departing councilor warns incoming board members about ‘hate in Westminster’

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a short, bittersweet meeting, the Westminster City Council said goodbye to three councilors Dec. 4.

While outgoing Councilors Rich Seymour and Lindsey Emmons gave upbeat, emotional farewell speeches, controversial Councilor Bruce Baker gave a warning to incoming councilors. Baker, who was elected 2013 and 2021 and failed to win a third term in November’s election, cited problems

he sees in the city. Those include what he characterized as a culture of “hatred” on the council.

“There’s too much hate in Westmin-

ster,” said Baker, who has opposed the construction of a new water treatment plant and the still-developing new downtown. “Perhaps I am more aware of the hate because I am the frequent target. I am concerned you new councilors will become the targets of a similar strain of hate.”

Baker suggested incoming representatives could “lessen the hate” by only proclaiming values in which they believe, and not taking offense during difficult discussions.

“My council proclaimed noble values to cloak ourselves in virtue, but we really did not believe in those values,” he said. “We never took the time to talk about deeply held philosophical differences within our council.

Members who I thought were allies turned out not to have the values I thought we shared. I was left with an overwhelming sense of betrayal.

“My council got very offended by clear, direct conversation. We could not deal with situations where facts were not universally held.”

Baker ended his speech by encouraging new councilors to “not return hate with hate.”

“Hate will drain intelligence, empathy and leadership from your council and replace those important attributes with half-truths, emotion and bullies,” he said “I wish you success.

“Find a new path to downtown, and please don’t build that water plant.”

Seymour, who served as a city councilor since 2019, described his time on the board as an honor.

“While some of us don’t always agree, I think we’ve found an opportunity to agree to disagree at times,” he said. “Hopefully inside Westminster, we can find a way to keep the noise outside from filtering into us.

“You will see me around from time to time. It is not farewell. It is until next time.”

Emmons, elected to the council in November 2019, said her service was a wild, challenging and rewarding ride.

“No council has ever had to navigate a pandemic in the way we had to, peppered with civil unrest, all while trying to keep a community and city moving forward,” she said.

“Add in a recall, finding a city manager, making a decision on one of the largest remaining properties in Westminster and finalizing a decision on a water treatment plant — we worked through a lot.”

Emmons also cited changes to the comprehensive plan, lowering water rates, adding open space and updating city codes among the council’s accomplishments.

“We’ve all had difficult conversations at one point or another,” she said. “But we’ve moved the city forward together and I appreciate your service.”

New councilors sworn in

The group then adjourned and reconvened to swear in new representatives Amber Hott, Kristine Ireland and Claire Carmelia, and hold its first official meeting as a new board. In a secret ballot, the council then unanimously chose Sarah Nurmela as its new mayor pro tem.

Councilor Obi Ezeadi announced after the swearing-in that he and Ireland will host joint office hours. He called it a show of unity.

Ezeadi currently is available to the public for an hour every Monday in the city hall’s main-level conference room. Those hours will be expanded to 4:30 to 6 p.m. and include Ireland.

“My hope and vision for this council is that we’re united, that we will move toward consensus as often as we can, that we address the food desserts, the infrastructure needs, the housing crisis in our city,” he said.

“But we can’t do any of that with a divided council.

“I just want to give hope to everyone who’s watching and listening that it is possible, government can work. I think we have an opportunity to collaborate. No more hateful talk, no more division, no more vitriol.

We’re moving forward.”

Ezeadi, a Democrat, is running for election in 2024 to represent District 19 in the Colorado State Senate.

CHANGES FROM PAGE 2

“My goal for the next four years is to show the people of Ward 1and the people of Thornton that their voice does matter, that they matter,” Martinez said.

He then introduced a motion to extend councilor comments, saying he’d noted fellow Ward 1 Councilor Kathy Henson had repeatedly been cut off by the five-minute rule.

“To me, that’s evidence we need to do something about that,” he said. “We do not have the right rules in place regarding council procedures.”

The motion, which directs staff to change the wording and bring the

ordinance back for a formal first reading, passed with Kulmann and Councilor Jessica Sandgren opposed.

Russell, who represents Ward 4, noted the mayor pro tem vote is the only one in Thornton that allows the use of a secret ballot.

“Removing this one single, secret vote is an opportunity we can take to show transparency to the public,” he said.

The motion to change it passed, with Kulmann and Councilor Tony Unrein voting against it.

A majority of the council then voted to make Karen Bigelow its new mayor pro tem.

Ayala said she is also dedicated to transparency.

“I want to make sure everybody feels heard and listened to,” she

said. “That’s one of the biggest things I heard.”

Looking ahead

Bigelow said the new board represents a multi-faceted change.

“When you look at the makeup of our new council, we’re going to be led by five women,” she said. “We also will be represented by three people of color.

“It makes me incredibly proud of our city. I have very high hopes we’re going to work together and move forward as a cohesive force.”

Earlier in the meeting, some Thornton residents said they were disappointed Mayor Kulmann had been re-elected. The mayor’s race was a particularly difficult one.

Leading up to it, residents repeatedly showed up at council meetings to

speak against Kulmann, criticizing the loss of ward meetings, former Councilor Jacque Phillips’ removal and their perception that the mayor refused to address issues.

Nevertheless, Kulmann won the mayoral race with about 53% of the votes. She started her second term on an upbeat note.

“I am very much looking forward to working with everyone up here,” she said, “I want to thank the residents of Thornton for putting their faith in me again. The people of our city care tremendously.”

Kulmann said many of the residents she talked with during her campaign expressed hope, “… that we can become better neighbors to each other, to disagree without being disagreeable. Civility, honesty and respect still matter.”

Westminster welcomes its first IV therapy spa: Hydrate IV Bar Former health care workers say new business provides wellness from within Two former healthcare workers recently opened Westminster’s first intravenous therapy spa. Hydrate IV Bar opened in the Shops at Walnut Creek Center.

Arvada residents Kevin and Nicole Poel both previously worked at Children’s Hospital, and feel they are now working proactively to make a difference in individuals’ health.

“We’ve been on the reactive side of medicine for many years, caring for sick children,” said Kevin Poel, previously a pharmacist. “Now we’re getting into the space of how we can prevent some of these things, and promote long-term health and wellness. We can be on the wellness side of things versus the sick side.

“We have a mission and it aligns with the mission of the franchise.

That mission is wellness from within.”

IV bars offer intravenous fluids, vitamins and medicines targeted to a customer’s needs. A trained medical professional inserts an IV, using a drip to provide vitamins and supplements. Providers say a body more effectively absorbs nutrients intravenously, and that the method can treat dehydration, hangovers and jet lag, and improve skin.

“Some people have issues with absorption,” Kevin Poel said.

“When we infuse vitamins intravenously, they’re getting 100% of it.

It’s going straight into the bloodstream and absorbed into the tissue, which is where it needs to be to work.”

Customers enjoy a spa-like atmosphere during their sessions, with comfortable chairs and soothing music. In Westminster, they’re attended to by a staff that includes nurses and others who have worked in emergency departments or intensive care units.

Thornton doubles down on efforts to access Cache Le Poudre water City submits new plan to Larimer County to build pipeline

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the latest effort to tap into water it already owns — a supply critical to its future growth — officials in Thornton have resubmitted plans for a proposed pipeline. The plan, sent to neighboring Larimer County in late November, would cut several miles from the line in an effort to ease con-

cerns that doomed an initial application.

The difference? Instead of treating the pipeline as a technical challenge, Thornton has reframed it as a people issue. City officials spent the better part of the past year-and-a-half and “untold hours” on crafting the new approach. Much of the time was spent talking with property owners who could be impacted by the project, which seeks to pipe water from the Fort Collins area south to Thornton.

“When we realized it’s not an engineering problem, it’s a political problem, that’s when the project took on a better shift,” said Thornton Commu-

nications Director Todd Barnes. “I think people didn’t feel like they were being heard, and they didn’t like the answers. So we set out to find some common ground.”

To do that, Thornton hired a consultant to conduct a survey of about 400 property owners and held a massive Zoom meeting to discuss the results.

The final result was a remapping of the project, a new pipeline route that leaves city leaders optimistic about gaining approval in Larimer County.

Thornton needs what’s called a “1041 permit” from the county in order to move ahead on theThornton Water Project. The revised application filed with Larimer County this month is the second such effort. The city first submitted an application in 2018, which Larimer County denied in 2019, saying the project failed to meet several criteria outlined in the 1041 process.

Thornton sued Larimer County over that decision, but a state appeals court in 2022 ruled for the county.

If the new effort succeeds, the city hopes it will be able to taps into the new water source by 2027, an effort that could clear the way for the construction of thousands of homes in the city and, officials say, help address the rising costs of housing.

“This water is Thornton’s future,” Barnes said. “We have over 10,000 housing units on hold because there’s no water certainty, including two pretty decent-sized affordable housing projects.”

With water, there would be much more growth to come. Thornton is only about 60 percent developed. The city is now home to about 150,000 people now. At its total buildout, the population is expected to be about 242,000. The water expected to come from the new pipeline adds roughly 50% to the city’s current water supply.

Thornton planned for its future growth long ago. In 1986, it bought Poudre River water rights 70 miles north of the city near Fort Collins, with plans to later carry it south via pipeline through Larimer, Weld and Adams counties.

A seven-mile stretch outside Larimer County has already been built, but the rest has been in limbo.

The newly-proposed route, submitted with the new application steers clear of most residences. It’s not only a more efficient route, it will

reduce construction costs significantly, Barnes claimed.

Plus, the site for a previously controversial pump station has been moved about two miles north, to a site more than 2,000 feet from the nearest home. That alleviates concerns surrounding the first application about potential noise impacts.

But while the city may have made inroads with many individual property owners, the group Save the Poudre remains opposed. Rather than a pipeline, the group advocates for keeping Thornton’s water in the Poudre River past Fort Collins, helping ensure the waterway’s health. The city says that’s not an option, citing contaminants in the river that will tarnish its water supply.

“Our position hasn’t changed,” said Save the Poudre founder, Gary Wockner. “We still think Thornton should run the water down the Poudre River, and take it out further east, near Windsor, where pipeline would meet the river as it comes up from Thornton.

“The new configuration of the pipeline in our mind is no different than the old configuration, because it’s still a pipeline,” Wockner said.

“That’s our story. It’s been our story for 10 years on this issue and that’s what we’re going to tell the Larimer County Commissioners. We’ll be advocating for them to deny that pipeline and for Thornton to do the right thing, and send the water down the river.”

The city says that will not happen.

“We were not willing to even consider that,” Barnes said. “We have a Colorado water decree that tells us we can build a pipeline, not put water in a river.”

Now that the permit has been submitted, Larimer County is expected review it and then send it to the county’s planning commission for a recommendation. From there, it will proceed to the Larimer County Commissioners. Barnes anticipates a decision in March.

“We feel pretty good about it,” he said. “If (approval) doesn’t happen, we have to step back and reassess what we’re going to do.”

One way or another, Barnes said, Thornton will get its water.

“Ultimately, we have a property right,” he said. “We own the water.

We can’t continually be denied access to it.”

Thornton seeks residents to reclaim 2003 Peace Wall tiles

The Thornton Arts and Culture Division is asking residents who painted tiles for the 2003 Peace Wall outside the Margaret Carpenter Recreation Center to reclaim their tiles.

Tiles can be reclaimed through January at the Thornton Arts and Culture Center, 9209 Dorothy Blvd.

“Hundreds of painted ceramic tiles were created by children to adorn the original wall,” says Thornton Arts and Culture Manager Alisa Zimmerman.

“These tiles are in various conditions due to damage from the elements and were removed when a new public art piece, “A Contemplation of Peace”, was installed this year.”

For information on the tile reclamation project and to schedule an appointment to view tiles on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m., contact Thornton Archivist, Ashley Milligan, at 720-977-5883 or ashley. milligan@thorntonco.gov.

POWER FROM PAGE 1

“We know it is going to go even higher as we go to renewables and they phase out coal-fired plants,” said Levis, whose office was the predecessor to the Office of the Utility Consumer Advocate.

Electricity bills aren’t subject solely to the same market forces as food, or even rent.

There are a host of things that go into rising electricity bills from the price of natural gas to run turbines to the cost of building new power stations and transmission lines to a raft of state mandated clean energy programs.

And let’s not forget, in addition to all those requirements Xcel Energy is also a business in search of a profit, which means there are shareholder and bondholder expectations to be met.

The rates customers pay are set by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission based on the investments Xcel Energy makes to run its grid and meet demand. Xcel Energy gets to recover its investment plus a return set by the PUC. It is growing these investments, the so-called rate base, that raises bills and fuels profits and shareholder dividends. When Xcel Energy built the coal-fired Comanche 3 power plant for $1 billion, customers paid for it.

Customers will pay for the $1.7 billion Power Pathway transmission line being built.

Customers will also pay nearly $1 billion closing three coal-fired plants, most of it for the unamortized part of Comanche 3 which has suffered chronic breakdowns since it opened in 2010.

“It is never the energy company that ends up paying for mistakes, such as Comanche 3,” Levis said. “The frustration consumers have is that the energy company has no downside.”

And if customers are unhappy, they don’t have the option of shopping around for a new provider of electricity or natural gas like they can with cars, insurance or food. Xcel has a franchise that makes it a monopoly in the areas it serves.

Xcel Energy is now proposing another $10 billion in rate base investments as part of its Clean Energy Plan, which will cut the utility’s greenhouse gas emissions 87% over 2005 levels.

“The legislature has also played a role in raising bills,” Levis said. “I don’t think they realize the impact.”

In the last five years the General Assembly has passed at least 14 bills directing the state’s utilities and PUC to initiate programs to do such things as such as promote energy efficient appliances and electric vehicles, and to develop clean energy plans.

Those laws allowed utilities to do things like add charges to customer bills for new programs. Or they enabled Xcel Energy to accelerate recovery of funds or include perfor-

mance incentives, offering a bonus if the utility contains project costs and meets deadlines.

Xcel Energy in its filings with the PUC points out that base rates have not risen much above the rate of inflation, and that its price per kilowatthour in Colorado is lower than the national average. In 2022, the average Xcel Energy residential charge was 12.7 cents a kilowatt-hour compared with a national average of 15 cents, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Utilities are also allowed to pass the cost of fuel directly to customers from the Energy Cost Adjustment. That adjustment “goes up and down,” Levis said. “With something like Storm Uri you get a big charge.”

That winter storm in Texas shutdown natural gas fields in February 2021 and sent natural gas prices soaring 300%. Xcel Energy incurred an extra $500 million in charges that Colorado customers are now paying off in installments over 30 months.

VOICES Polis wants schools and local governments to lower mill levies

F

or weeks, I have been wondering when someone “high up” would raise the idea of school districts and local governments lowering their mill levies just for 2024.

This would help the equation of lowering property taxes. As you probably have already heard umpteen times, the amount of property taxes due is determined by the assessed value of the property times the combined mill levy. Total mills include the county, city (if located in an incorporated area), school district and any special districts like a parks and recreation district or fire district.

School districts and county governments are the entities with the largest mill levies. Cities rely far more on sales/use tax revenues while fire districts are heavily dependent on property taxes with low millage. Park and recreation districts depend on property taxes but have the advantage of imposing fees on such activities as golf, swimming, recreation programming and special activities like a water park and miniature golf.

Well, Governor Polis was the one who “broke the ice” on the idea of lowering mill levies. While he cannot, as governor, force local taxing entities to lower their millage, he can put pressure on them.

Evaluating the governor’s request

I see Governor Polis’ action as an admission that he and the Democrats in the State Legislature failed to do the job they said they would do in the special session!

He is asking for more relief from the local governments and throwing them under the bus. Special districts and a portion of municipalities have low mill levies to begin with. For example, the City of Westminster has a city mill levy of 3.65 mills, and that has been a constant for at least 25 years.

The remainder of cities are likely to be “in the middle” before we talk about school districts and county governments. While the latter two

categories of local government have sizable mill levies i.e. 25 or 30 mills each, there usually is not any excess revenue to give back or waive for one year.

Plus, the timing is terrible. Municipalities and special Bill Christopher districts have usually adopted their budgets and mill levies for next year by now. Counties usually adopt their budgets and mill levies in December. To go back at this point would be quite difficult.

School districts work on a July 1-June 30 fiscal year which would create half-year budget situations although the mill levy would cover the entire calendar year. The whole idea of asking local governments to reduce their mill levies is poorly timed by the governor and will highly unlikely get any traction.

CROSS CURRENTS

Marczyk’s drops Westminster site

The bloom fell off the rose in late November as word got around that Marczyk’s deli and fine wines had decided to pull the plug on their forthcoming Westminster site at the New Downtown. Their on-again/ off-again relationship with the City of Westminster came to a halt with their decision to halt work on the remodeling of the bank building on the corner of 88th Avenue and Harlan Street.

Apparently, sales at their two existing stores have not done well this year and they decided to cut their losses on a third site.

Marczyk’s was thought to be an exciting regional attraction by staff with its upscale offerings of meats, cheeses and fine wines.

Personally, I had been somewhat skeptical from the start about their ability to attract sufficient regional sales to make a go of it. Westminster is not known for higher-end stores, given its demographics.

I am sorry to see them pull out, es-

pecially on the heels of the Tattered Cover Book Store leaving which was also considered a regional draw.

Having the two well-known retailers leave is like a one-two punch to the gut. City staff will now have an even bigger hole to fill although I have confirmed that the Food Hall is moving ahead to go into the retail space on the ground floor of one of the apartment complexes.

An interesting “presidential” question

Which should come first - Presidential privilege or justice for the American people?

In the Georgia indictment of former President Donald Trump, his lawyer Steven Sadow is saying that if Trump wins the presidency in 2024, the Georgia racketeering trial could NOT proceed until after he would leave office in January 2029.

Are you kidding me? That is absurd and would usurp our democracy.

Let’s hope the judges up to and including the U.S. Supreme Court see it that way!

Trump’s attorney argued that if Trump wins the Republican primary to be the party’s candidate being involved in an August trial leading up to election day would constitute “election interference.”

Then Judge Scott McAfee asked Sadow about the court proceedings continuing into 2025 assuming Trump wins the presidency. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had earlier publicly suggested such an arrangement. Sadow rejected the idea indicating that the trial would interfere with Trump’s duties as president under the Supremacy Clause, which prohibits interfering with constitutional duties thus causing the trial to be POSTPONED until January 2029.

The judge concluded it was too early to set a trial date given the other pending legal actions against Trump. These include a scheduled March trial in the federal interference case and a pending May trial alleging Trump mishandled and refused to return hundreds of clas-

sified documents.

So, we wait as this tangled web is dissected. Justice for democracy and the American people should not be put on hold.

New faces, new majorities could bring new focuses

Both Thornton and Westminster have seen a changing of the guard, with newly elected Thornton council members sworn in along with Mayor Kulmann, after winning a new four-year term.

Newly elected folks, both council members and Mayor Leighty with the City of Northglenn will be sworn in on December 11.

In the case of both Thornton and Westminster, new progressive council majorities will take over from more conservative majorities from at least the past two years – if not longer.

New council priorities are likely to evolve in the coming months.

Initially, new council members with no prior council service will be “drinking from a fire hose” in their orientation sessions, learning a plethora of procedures, policies and where the restrooms are located. For certain, both cities have full agendas in the new year with continued growth, numerous capital projects, a new budget year to implement, policies to enact and much, much more.

One topic that I hope will be on the front burner for all three cities and with the area school districts, Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District and Adams and Jefferson Counties will be a renewed attitude and implementation of cooperation.

Cooperative ventures and projects are beneficial to joint constituencies as well as being more efficient and cost-effective. I am a strong believer in intergovernmental cooperation on all fronts. In particular, the growing number of homeless people deserves more attention and more funding.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Make it affordable to stay

tribute to our front range ozone air quality crisis. And as Coloradans are pushed further and further out from where they live and work, it is often our teachers, firefighters, and essential workers, the heroes of the COVID19 pandemic, that end up needing to endure long drives to make it to the jobs that keep Colorado going.

People of color are more likely to be pushed out of their homes due to lack of affordability. This is very apparent in areas such as Rino in Denver. People of color are also more likely to live closer to sources of pollution and this puts them at higher risks of health impacts due to Colorado’s air pollution.

There are ways to fix this so that people such as myself can afford to live in the state they love and grew up in. Colorado urgently needs state-level housing reforms to effectively address the interconnected issues of climate change, housing affordability, and public health, as these issues are more connected than we think. With the 2024 legislative session coming up I hope we can pass some forms of legislation that can start to address land use.

There is no doubt that Colorado has grown substantially in the last 10 years. It is also no lie that the housing crisis in Colorado is at one of the worst points it has ever been in. Many citizens of Colorado even consider the housing affordability crisis as the number one issue affecting their wellbeing.

The current approach to how we handle this crisis, endless sprawl out into Colorado’s open spaces, is also taking its toll on the use of land, energy, and water, intensifying the climate crisis and public health issues. For the sake of the climate as well as people across our state, our decision makers must make policies to ensure more sustainable and affordable living options.

Colorado policies currently promote unrestricted development of single-family homes, which is known as urban sprawl, and restrict development of more affordable options in areas where people live, work and play. Urban sprawl also contributes to climate change - as people live further away from their workplace or school - they drive more, pollute more, and con-

taring into a kiln glowing orange at 2,350 degrees, an artist armed with thick leather gloves holds a fragile piece of molten glass at the end of a steel rod.

This is the point where creativity, talent and inspiration combine to create a one-of-a-kind piece of glass never to be duplicated.

Sand and silica are the main components; soda ash and lime are combined to the mixture as raw ingredients, Corey Siverman of The Furnace: A Glassworks in Lakewood said. Industrial glass that’s made in a factory by machines works in a different way versus what we do by hand.

The Furnace is a glass workshop that dedicates 90% of its production to retail sales, according to Siverman. Thousands of ornaments will be handmade and shipped from this location.

“I have galleries all around the country. I’ve got over 100 galleries that buy my work,” Siverman said during a recent interview at his small production facility. “I sell to magazines. I sell to corporate gift companies. I sell to a lot of retail buyers through our store here. As well as Etsy, so we have a wide variety of customers.”

The months leading up to the holidays are the busiest time of year for Siverman and his coowner and wife, Leanne.

Siverman started blowing glass objects/art more than 30 years ago, he said he’s still learning.

“You start with a clear glass that’s molten out of the furnace at 2,100 degrees, gather it up on your blowpipe, and apply a color called Frit,” Siverman said. “You then reheat the glass, shape it and put a bubble into it after you put a pattern into it with your color. Once you’ve got your shape the way you want it you let it stabilize, you finish it off and put it in the oven (about 500 degrees) for as many as 12 hours.”

The Furnace is not only a commercial facility, employing less than a dozen production and distribution assistants, it’s a learning environment, offering introductory instruction to anyone with a desire to learn the craft.

“You learn something every time you walk through the door,” Siverman said about the classes.

However, patience, practice and commitment are prerequisites.

“People ask me, ‘How long will it take me to get good?’” Silverman said. “I like to tell people it’s a 10year commitment before you’re really good at this. You have to be very committed to it.”

Yet, each piece is completely original to the artist.

“The goal is to make products that will not be like anything you’ve ever seen before,” Siverman said.

Cremation Glass Art offers ashes in eternal suspension In an unassuming garage in Greeley, an artist incorporates the cremated ashes of loved ones

and even pets into molded and forged glass pieces that are incomparable.

“For the cremation art I do believe that working with human ashes is what hits my heart and soul the most,” said Tiffany Koehn with Red Manx Studio.

During a recent visit with the artist, Koehn worked to fold, curl and mold a small piece of molten glass in a 2,150 degree gas-fired kiln.

The idea of incorporating precious ashes within the glass was conceived in 2009, Koehn said. The epiphany was achieved with a very personal story.

In 2008, Koehn’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.

“Mom’s cancer journey and watching her and everybody in that chemo room teetering on death hit me,” Koehn said. “Mom came out of it, but there’s a lot of people in that chemo room that didn’t live through their experiences.”

“If I can help families get through it with something more special than a box on a mantle, then that’s what I want to do, especially with the children’s pieces,” Koehn said.

Here the customer, their story and vision are incorporated in each unique color selection and swirl of soft molten glass.

Koehn welcomes each buyer to be part of the process and witness the creation of the unique glass piece as it’s conceived and shaped in her small garage.

Nearly a dozen times over, Koehn heated and shaped the glass at the end of a metal pipe.

Koehn uses a unique tool made of wet wood which is created by several species of bacteria that enter a tree through wounds, keeping the wood malleable, which is perfect against the blazing hot temperatures of the molten glass.

The soft cylindrical shape of the wood creates the rounded edges with continuous turning of the delicate glass.

Koehn spends at least 18 hours repeating the process of heating, shaping, molding and cooling each glass piece.

In the end, each customer is presented with a keepsake unlike any in existence, just like their loved one.

Top Five Films from the 20th annual Vail Film Festival

I

t’s rare to find a modern film festival that goes out of its way to celebrate the world of independent cinema and the filmmakers who make that world so thrilling.

Over the its first 20 years, the Vail Film Festival has made this celebration one of its guiding ethos, along with a focus on works made by female filmmakers.

And aside from two decades in existence, the festival had something else to celebrate during this year’s run from Dec. 7 through 10 — the return of an in-person event for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The festival has always been about building community and fostering relationships, so we’re really excited to have the event in person again this year and to bring the event to the Vail community again,” said co-founder and executive director Sean Cross, in an email interview. “The 20-year milestone is a big one, and I think it really is due to the community support we’ve received from the very beginning, and the continued excitement from filmmakers to come to Vail and experience the beauty of this area.”

This year’s festival featured more than 70 film screenings from around the world, as well as two special presentations: actress Alicia Silverstone received the Excellence

Of all those entries, I was able to see 15 films and as usual, was wildly impressed with their quality. You can’t go wrong with any of the Clarke Reader 2023 movies, but here are five you should really keep an eye out for in the coming months.

‘All Happy Families’

For more information: https:// www.imdb.com/title/tt15388560/ “All Happy Families,” Haroula Rose’s return to the Vail Film Festival, centers on the Landrys, all of whom gather at the family home in Chicago to do some repair work in preparation for renting a room out.

Brothers Graham and Will (Josh Radnor and Rob Huebel) are struggling over where they are in their careers, while their parents Sue and Roy (the always stellar Becky Ann Baker and John Ashton) are settling into post-retirement life. Or trying to.

The resulting story is funny and utterly human, full of recognizable and relatable characters. It’s the

‘Chasing Chasing Amy’

For more information: www. chasingamydoc.com It’s difficult to imagine a more personal filmmaking project than Sav Rodgers’ funny and insightful documentary, “Chasing Chasing Amy.” The film tells the story of Rodgers’ obsession with Kevin Smith’s ‘90s queer rom-com and how it provided a crucial lifeline to a young Kansas teen when it was needed most.

Rodgers artfully blends the historical, personal and political, exploring how and why the film was made, the ways it helped and further marginalized the LGBTQIA+ movement and how it inspired him on his own path to finding personal love and acceptance.

Anyone who has found hope and salvation in art will love the film, because it’s the best kind of cinematic love letter — one right from the heart.

but get more than they bargain for when a surprising guest arrives out of the blue.

As with all great horror experiences, the less said, the better. The film is deeply insightful and knows exactly which tools to use at the right time. It gets under your skin and stays there.

‘Golden Vanity’

For more information: www.facebook.com/goldenvanitymovie/ You don’t often get to see true feats of acting anymore, but that’s just what audiences are treated to

by Melora Hardin in the hysterical and heartbreaking “Golden Vanity.”

A true one-woman feature film, the story is centered on Mabel Montgomery Mayflower (Hardin), a fading actress who has no interest in quietly leaving the stage. On one night in 1967 she records her memoirs as she grapples with what the Hollywood system has done to her and her life. There are moments of true hilarity, but Hardin is equally capable of breaking your heart as you see what life in the spotlight truly costs.

Rock climbing proposals worry both climbers and wilderness advocates placement of permanently fixed anchors for climbing.

That draft guidance throws a new log on the fire fueling the climbing bolt war. The proposed policies by the Forest Service and Park Service note that climbing is “a legitimate use” of wilderness and the use of fixed anchors “can fulfill important wilderness recreational purposes and can help preserve wilderness character by providing opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation.” But it also defines fixed anchors as “installations,” which are banned in designated wilderness by the 1964 Wilderness Act. The guidance prohibits new bolts and anchors in wilderness unless they have been approved by local forest supervisors and park superintendents following an in-depth review called a “Minimum Requirements Analysis.”

And most troubling for climbers is the new plan’s determination that existing bolts — including those placed prior to wilderness designation — are prohibited but may be allowed in the wilderness if land managers have the resources to conduct a review.

“Existing fixed anchors and fixed equipment in wilderness may be retained pending completion of a Minimum Requirements Analysis, as funding and resources allow, that determines they are the minimum necessary to facilitate primitive or unconfined recreation or otherwise preserve

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Heavily anticipated plans to revamp rock climbing management in parks and wilderness areas contain what appears to be a call for a coast-to-coast inventory of every bolt and anchor in designated wilderness worries climbers. The draft proposals unveiled by the National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service in mid-November also contain a process that allows land managers to approve bolts as permanent installations, which troubles conservation groups.

Climbers have been rallying to protect fixed anchors in wildlands after federal land managers earlier this year began classifying fixed bolts and chains as permanent installations that are not allowed in wilderness areas.

The Access Fund in March called the potential policy banning fixed anchors “a war on wilderness climbing.”

Meanwhile, wilderness supporters have been decrying anchors as “the defacement and degradation of wilderness” and “the proverbial crack in the armor for wilderness.”

Colorado’s D.C. lawmakers — like Sen. John Hickenlooper and Rep. Joe Neguse — have joined the climbers with proposed legislation directing the Forest Service and the Interior Department to create a uniform policy for all wilderness areas that allows the

wilderness character,” the guidance reads.

So wilderness area bolts and anchors will go through “the same review as required for a road or even a landfill,” said Garrett Garner-Wells with the Access Fund. The fund estimates that about 90% of all climbing routes in national wilderness areas use fixed bolts and anchors, which allow climbers to reduce the risk of a potentially disastrous fall on routes where removable equipment is not possible.

“We are glad to see them say climbing is a legitimate use, but the classification of anchors as installations and requiring a full inventory of all wilderness fixed anchors across all wilderness, National Park and Forest Service land, that is definitely a thing we are disappointed to see,” Garner-Wells said.

George Nickas, the executive director of Montana-based Wilderness Watch, said the plan by the federal agencies is troubling because it allows a way for land managers to allow permanent installations in wilderness, which the Wilderness Act explicitly prohibits.

His group has spent more than 30 years fighting efforts by recreational groups seeking exceptions and adjustments to strict Wilderness Act rules. Mountain bikers want to pedal wilderness trails. Hunters want to use wheeled carts and places to land small

aircraft. Anglers want motorboats.

Outdoor filmmakers and trail runners want exemptions from the ban on commercial enterprise in the wilderness.

“The climbers are just one more recreational group trying to establish the first big chink in the armor of the Wilderness Act,” Nickas said. “This is an ongoing fight.”

Wilderness Watch was among more than 40 conservation groups in March who sent a letter to federal lawmakers urging them to oppose the “Protect America’s Rock Climbing Act,” saying “maintaining wilderness character requires that climbers accept a higher level of risk in wilderness and maintain some humility and respect for the peaks they scale.”

“If we can waive prohibitions on installations for climbing, then why can’t we waive the prohibition on motorized equipment and vehicles for recreation?” Nickas said. “The Wilderness Act is very clear. It says ‘there shall be no.’ But the agencies seem to be thinking ‘Well, there should be some.’”

The Forest Service and Park Service are collecting public comment on the proposed climbing management plan through Jan. 16.

Church blesses ski equipment in Aspen for the season ahead

BY KAYA WILLIAMS ASPEN PUBLIC RADIO

In some Catholic communities, where agriculture or fishing drive the economy, a priest might bless farm equipment or a fleet of boats.

But in Aspen, where the main industry is recreation and hospitality, parishioners bring their skis and other winter sports equipment to church for a good dousing of holy water.

The “Blessing of the Skis and Snowboards” is an annual tradition at St. Mary Catholic Church. Father Joe Grady invoked St. Bernard, the patron saint of the Alps (and of skiers, snowboarders, hikers and climbers) during the blessing on a recent Sunday.

“Bless, O Lord, we pray, these skis — that all who use them in traversing mountains, heights and preci-

pices, in powder and in snow, in blizzard and in tempest, may be preserved from all danger and catastrophe, traveling without harm on their journey and returning safely to their homes,” Grady prayed.

Deacon Phil Harrington also led a series of prayers for “peace, prosperity and safety,” for “abundant snowfall,” and for the hospitality and resort workers who welcome visitors to Aspen and support the community’s economy.

“And we pray for all those who have died on these mountains, especially those who worked in the silver mines, or skied on these hills, for their quick entry into paradise, and for the peace and consolation of their families,” Harrington prayed.

The ceremony is unusual, even for a ski town, but it’s fitting for the community at St. Mary: parishioners

sometimes attend mass in their ski clothes, and a former pastor, Father Darrick Leier, hit the slopes with a custom snowboard that had “Ave Maria” printed on the base. This winter, Grady said he hopes to organize some community ski days as a “less intimidating” way for new people to connect with the church.

“What we do during the week is not disconnected from what we do here on Sunday,” Grady told those who came for the blessing.

COUNCIL FROM PAGE 2

“You are very popular with Ward 1 residents for a reason — because you have their backs at all times,” said Councilor Karen Bigelow.

‘Heightened’

council.

“I believe that vote should never be taken away from the residents of this city, and I cannot thank you enough for your leadership and mentorship.”

Mayor Jan Kulmann, among those who voted to vacate Phillips’ seat, offered a few words.

“I will just add thank you,” she said. “Your passion has always been an incredible big part of you.”

Phillips, seated in the audience, came forward to accept the award

from Kulmann.

“I just want to say thank you so much to the City of Thornton,” she said. “It was six years, and everybody worked so hard, we did so many great things. I love you, thank you.”

Earlier in the evening, Phillips spoke about the November election results during citizen comments.

Voters shifted the bulk of the Thornton council from conservative to progressive. While Kulmann

eked out another term as mayor, changes to the rest of the board put her and the other conservative board members in the minority for the first time in years.

“Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last,” Phillips said. “After four years of the mayor and her bully bloc’s reign of terror, tonight we see justice. We will now be treated with respect at council meetings. We will not be ignored. The good guys always win in the end, so let’s get to work.”

— which she wrote, directed and starred in — two characters struggling with anxiety form an unlikely bond in a surprising place.

The film focuses on Nora, a young woman on the cusp of becoming a lawyer when she has a nervous breakdown. She returns home to Maine to attempt to get better and is

assigned to work park maintenance with ranger-in-training Dusty. As the two get to know each other better they find common ground in struggling with mental health and finding a way forward to the lives they actually want.

Friedman does great work in her triple role, realistically capturing

the struggles of relating to a world where everything feels uncomfortable. I saw a lot of myself in it and I know I won’t be the only one.

Professional indoor soccer debuts this December in Northglenn, Jeffco Colorado Bucks SC joins lengthy list of state’s pro sports teams

BY JOHN RENFROW AND STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The Colorado Rapids ended their season in October. But despite winter pushing us all inside, there are still games for pro soccer fans to see. And they can stay warm, too.

From Northglenn to Littleton, fans will enjoy yet another exciting new professional sports team in Colorado.

The Colorado Bucks Soccer Club is the latest team to join Major League Indoor Soccer, making Colorado the westernmost team in the league.

Though all team operations will be based out of Northglenn, the team will play home games at the Foothills Fieldhouse in Jefferson County. The inaugural season begins on Saturday, Dec. 16.

“Everything that we do, besides playing home games, is based out of the Northglenn area,” co-owner Joshua Craver-DeCredico said. “We feel so strongly about the Northglenn community, and I wanted to keep it up in this area because there’s nothing around this area when it comes to indoor professional soccer.”

The front office consists of operations manager Dan Delin, Jennifer Borlin, director of public relations, and owners Francesca Craver and Craver-DeCredico of Northglenn.

The Bucks’ coach is Cole Chapleski, a University of Denver grad who spent the past year and change as an assistant coach at Metropolitan State University in Denver.

“The idea of having a team in Northglenn has always been something my wife and I have strived for,” Craver-DeCredico said. “That’s when we just decided, ‘Look, we live up here. We want to keep it up

The Colorado Bucks play in Jefferson County, but practices are held at the Rocky Mountain Sports Center in Northglenn. Owner JOHN RENFROW Joshua Craver-DeCredico said if the field was just slightly larger, the team would play in Northglenn.

here.’ It’s so important for us to have a foundation here in Northglenn and continue to grow and grow because we aren’t going anywhere.”

But it’s not just a passion project. The Bucks want to compete right out of the gate. Colorado will take on the Chicago Mustangs, the Omaga Kings, and the Cleveland Crunch, to name a few.

Finding the right name took some time, but the answer just came to the owners one day.

“We were up in Estes and there were bucks everywhere,” CraverDeCredico said. “We were going back and forth with some names and colors and everything, and I’m like, ‘That’s what we need to do. That represents Colorado.’ And that’s how we came up with the Bucks; just super smart and ridiculously strong. You watch them with their family and they’re super tightknit, and that’s what we want in the Colorado Bucks and that’s what we demonstrate any time we step on

the field or in the community.”

They know it will be a process, but pro sports in Colorado bring highlevel expectations. The team understands that.

“The team is shaping up excellently,” Chapleski said in a statement.

“The player pool is not only full of talent but personality and character. The guys have been working hard to get their legs under them, build our identity and everyone’s been getting to learn each other’s tendencies and playing styles.”

Chapleski also noted the help from players with previous experience in professional indoor soccer.

“A lot of us are no strangers to soccer, but are new to the pro indoor game,” Chapleski said. “With that being said, we don’t plan on just being ‘happy to be here’ in our first season. We fully believe we have the team to go out there and win games right from the get-go, and we intend to do just that. Our objective is purely to win every time we step

out there.”

Games are available through live streaming. Craver-DeCredico said the mission statement is pretty simple .. “to grow the sport” through a family atmosphere “and supporting our youth soccer programs throughout our communities.”

“We are thrilled to welcome the Colorado Bucks to MLIS,” said MLIS Commissioner Dominic Turcotte in a statement. “Our westward expansion is literally putting MLIS indoor soccer on the map and creates new opportunities and new rivalries that will add excitement to our upcoming season.”

For the full Colorado Bucks schedule and roster, as well as ticketing and merch information, visit www.coloradobucks.soccershift. com.

Tickets cost $10 per game, but children under age 5 get in free. The team also announced a discount for those buying four or more tickets to the home opener on Dec. 16.

THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER ORDAINS: Section 1. Section 14-2-1, W.M.C. is hereby AMENDED to include a new subsection (H) to read as follows: (H) On December 11, 2023, the City approved changes made to the Code to: (i) implement provisions of the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022, that specifically increased the age at which required minimum distributions under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(9) must commence to the oldest age allowed by the Code, currently 73 for participants who attain age 72 after December 31, 2022; and (ii) reflect a ½ percent increase in both employer contributions and employee contributions for payroll periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

Section 2. Sections 14-2-4(A) and (B), W.M.C., are hereby AMENDED to read as follows with new language appearing in underline and deleted language appearing in strikethrough: (A)

Contributions by the City:

(1) Determination of Contribution by the City. The City shall contribute to the credit of each full Participant’s Account, (i) for each pay period on and after January 6, 1986, and prior to January 3, 2022, 10.25 percent of each full Participant’s compensation for that pay period; and (ii) for each pay period on and after January 3, 2022 and prior to the pay period beginning on or after January 1, 2024, 11.25 percent of each full Participant’s compensation for that pay period; and (iii) for each pay period beginning on or after January 1, 2024, 11.75 percent of each full Participant’s compensation for that pay period; provided that, during any period in which the City is required to make contributions on behalf of Participants under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act or the Social Security Act, the contribution to the Plan for each Participant shall be offset by the amount of the OASDI portion of the social security taxes paid by the City for such Participant. This offset shall not exceed the City contribution.

(2) Time and Method of Payment of Contribution by the City. The contributions of the City shall be made every pay period and shall be credited to the Plan each pay period.

(3) Forfeitures. All unvested amounts forfeited by reason of a Participant’s termination of employment before the Participant becomes fully vested shall be used as City contributions to the Plan and shall offset and reduce the City’s employer contribution obligation.

During any period in which the Contributing Participant is required to make contributions under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act or the Social Security Act, the mandatory contribution to the Plan by each Contributing Participant shall be offset by the OASDI taxes paid by the Participant, except that no offset for OASDI taxes shall reduce the mandatory contribution to the Plan for a Participant to less than 2.50 percent of that Contributing Participant’s compensation for that pay period.

For the pay period commencing December 21, 1987, and thereafter, the contribution provided by this paragraph shall be picked up and paid by the City, as employer, as provided in Code Section 414(h), and the Participant’s gross income shall be reduced by the amount of the contributions picked up by the City.

Each Participant, as a condition to such Participant’s employment with the City, shall be deemed to have authorized the City to reduce the Participant’s compensation by such amount from each paycheck and to transmit such amount directly to the Plan custodian, according to the provisions of this Chapter.

Separate Plan subaccounts shall be maintained for the mandatory contributions of the employees, prior to the pickup of such contributions by the City and the contributions picked up by the City.

SUPPORT LOCAL JOURNALISM

DON’T LET YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPERS GO SILENT.

This year, even more than ever before, the news is in crisis.

More than 17,000 news media jobs were cut just by June, at national and local outlets including at some of the biggest names like NPR, The Texas Tribune and Gannett. In fact, newsroom layoffs are up 20% from last year. Some of these outlets laid off more than 10% of their staff in the last few months — even as we head into a critical election year.

These are devastating numbers. But all is not lost.

Many local and independent newsrooms continue to launch across the country. With your contributions and subscriber memberships, small newsrooms like ours continue to grow, adding new journalists and expanding reporting and investigations.

We’re committed to bringing the news to Coloradans. That’s because you deserve access to local, independent journalism that keeps you connected and informed — especially during challenging times. This is #newsCOneeds.
