group facing legal challenge Group fires management that helped launch schools in Brighton, Lone Tree

BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

A Colorado charter school network in December fired the management group that helped it launch four schools across the state, triggering a chaotic series of events that included the dismissal of more than 300 employees, swift action to rehire all staff under a new management group and, now, a potential lawsuit.

Ascent Classical Academy Charter Schools — the governing board over charter schools serving nearly 2,000 students in Lone Tree, Brighton, Windsor and Grand Junction — terminated its contract early with management organization Ascent Classical Academies, which is a Golden-based nonprofit with a similar name that establishes and operates charter schools.

Meals on Wheels keeps rolling Adams County adds $500,000 in support but may pick new provider in the spring

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The beleaguered Senior Hub in Northglenn appears likely to get a $500,000 boost from Adams County to continue its Meals on Wheels deliveries to some 500 homebound seniors in Adams County at least until spring.

But there are no guarantees The Senior Hub will run the Meals on Wheels program after May as the county may pursue another longterm senior services provider more to its liking.

Adams County Commissioners blasted the workings of Senior Hub management on Jan. 9 during a work session to discuss the future of the non-profit. The Senior Hub sus-

pended Meals on deliveries on Dec. 31, saying it had run out of $1.7 million in COVID-19-related funding.

The organization had no other funding sources to fall back on after its American Rescue Plan Act – or ARPA – money ran dry. The announcement stunned seniors who depend on Meals on Wheels for at least five days of hot meals.

Volunteers for America has stepped in, delivering cold meals to Meals on Wheels clients over the past two weeks.

The suspended service led the commissioners to chastise The Senior Hub for past wasteful fiscal practices.

“I think we have been funding this (The Senior Hub) for way too long without them righting the ship,” Commissioner Charles “Chaz” Tedesco.

The plan the commissioners tentatively backed called for Adams County, Volunteers for American and the Senior Hub to continue meal delivery until May. At that time, the county will bring in a longterm partner after issuing a Request

Anywhere.

Anytime.

for Proposal, according to a staff report to the county commissioners.

Long term strategy

The $500,000 effort would be paid by reallocating the county’s ARPA and Community Development Block Grant COVID funding, the report states.

Many non-profits – like the Senior Hub - depended on COVID funding to stay afloat while those who planned for those dollars to run dry have emerged from the pandemic in stronger fiscal standing, the staff report states.

“Organizations such as Adams County and Volunteers of America have demonstrated those efforts.

Others, such as Senior Hub, have not,” the report states.

The Senior Hub has not presented a long-term funding strategy. At the same time, the Denver Regional Council of Governments has indicated it is also facing the end of federal support dollars, according to the staff report.

Aside from its Meals and Wheels program, the Senior Hub has also struggled to maintain other services, opting this year to close its adult day program and its Well Elder technology access program.

The Senior Hub also owes the Golden Corral restaurant $100,000 for providing food to Meals on Wheels, officials said.

Skin in the game

Franklin Ramirez took over as executive director of The Senior Hub five months ago and pledged to tighten the agency’s reigns. That includes scaling back on the number of recipients who get Meals and Wheels visits and having Volunteers of America provide the meals. The move will cut the price of a meal from $11 to $9, the county said.

“I want people to recognize our work in the community,” Ramirez told the commissioners. “I want some skin in the game.”

Over the past five years, Adams County has contributed about $3.15 million in support to the Senior Hub, with much of the support coming during the COVID recovery period between 2020 and 2023, according to the staff report.

The county – in recognizing the end of COVID funding - also budgeted $1 million for its Adult and Aging Services in 2024 with a projected total amount of $3 million, the staff report states.

The county will consider new flexible partnerships to provide senior care, the report states.

Tedesco told Ramirez that The Senior Hub must change its ways if it hopes to remain a Meals on Wheels provider in the county.

“We need to see some sign of change,” he said.

Here’s a Statistical Review of the Denver Metro Real Estate Market in 2023

Now that 2023 is in the books, I have done some statistical analysis of the year and how it compared to the other three “Covid years.”

The result of that research is reflected in the various charts on this page. In addition to the “Covid years,” of course, we have the “interest rate surge” years, which had the opposite effect.

Covid unexpectedly super-charged the real estate market, while the interest rate surge put a wet blanket on it. The effects of each are clearly visible in the charts.

One way to do an apples-to-apples comparison of the years is to look at the price per finished square foot, which is independent of the price of the home. In this first chart, you can see how the value of homes using that criterion surged during 2020 and 2021 but dropped quickly in 2022 and has more or less leveled off since:

Looking at the both the median and average sold prices of homes, you see the same trend. I like to look at the median rather than the average when studying the market, because a few multimillion-dollar home sales can have a big effect on the average price of sold homes but has no effect on the median price.

market but because listings go under contract so quickly. However, when interest rates surge as much as they did in 2022-2023, homeowners will refrain from moving up (or downsizing) because of “rate lock.” They don’t want to sell their home with a sub-3% mortgage only to buy a replacement home at double that rate (or more). You can see that in this chart of active vs. sold listings:

In mid-2022 as interest rates began to rise, the sale of homes began to plummet and sellers took or kept their homes off the market at a rate higher than usual. The initial surge in active listings at that time was because fewer listings already on the market were going under contract as buyers waited in hopes that interest rates would decline again. By January 2023 it was evident that rates were staying high, and the pent-up demand of buyers to buy and sellers to sell kicked in.

So, how slow did the market become?

The following charts are good measures of that. As the pandemic took effect in March 2020, buyers flooded the market (as reflected above) buying homes further from their places of work and/or with more room for home offices now that work-at-home became a thing. This depleted the supply of homes for sale (again as reflected above), and caused the median days on market to plunge to 5 or 6 days. Because there are always overpriced homes which languish on the market, the average days in MLS (DIM)

However, the fact that the average sold price is consistently higher than the median price shows how active the market in million-dollar homes is.

In a seller’s market, the number of active listings drops, not because homeowners aren’t putting their homes on the

remained over 20 until finally sellers saw the writing on the wall and lowered their prices enough to sell, hence the low average DIM by mid-2023.

By November 2022, new listings had dropped to a record low, but that was matched last month as shown in the next chart. Expired listings are another meas-

ure of the market’s health — and of how many sellers overprice their homes.

That, too, hit a peak in late 2022 and again at the end of 2023.

One of my favorite measurements of the seller’s market during Covid was the average ratio of sold price to listing price, indicating how much the average home benefited from a bidding war. In early 2021 and 2022, as shown in the following chart, it reached a record of

about 6% over asking price. Prior to 2020 it was typical for homes, on average, to sell slightly below asking price.

As this last chart shows, homes aren’t now selling for above their original

price but are selling for about their current listing price once that price had been lowered enough.

As I’ve said so many times in the past (see the archive of my columns online at www.JimSmithColumns.com), pricing your home at or slightly below the market will typically net you more than if you list it for a wished-for price and then chase the market downhill.

Also, just like politics, all real estate is local. Even within my hometown of Golden, I have watched homes languish on the market in one neighborhood while they trigger bidding wars a mile or two away.

Bottom line, always hire an experienced Realtor like those of us at Golden Real Estate if you want to price your home right and get the highest price.

City tests rule to quiet train horns Historic Westminster first in process of creating quiet zone corridor

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster is advancing plans to build five “quiet zones” in railway intersections in the city in hopes of muting the noise made by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway locomotives as they travel through local neighborhoods.

The City Council this week approved an agreement with BNSF to construct a quiet zone at the BNSF crossing at West 72nd Avenue for $135,000. Separate agreements have also been reached for the crossings

at Lowell Boulevard and Bradburn Boulevard in Historic Westminster to create a quiet zone corridor.

That area of the city is being targeted partially for a quiet zone because residents their experience “a higher concentration of noise pollution than is experienced in any other location throughout the city,” according to a city staff report to the city council.

All three sites are located within one-quarter of a mile or less of each other. As such, the Federal Railroad Administration requires all three crossings to be treated as a corridor and be improved concurrently, according to the staff report.

These are the first of five quiet zones the city’s wishes to implement, city spokesman Andy Le said via email.

“The four remaining potential qui-

et zones will be established once we complete this one in 2025,” Le said.

Once a quiet zone is established, the railroad will be required to cease the use of train horns at the crossings except under certain circumstances, the city staff report states.

BNSF will install crossing gates and flashers at the quiet zones and cities typically raise medians and curbs to prevent vehicles from crossing the tracks when the railroad safety gates are down, the staff report states.

Westminster received an $800,000 grant from the Denver Regional Council of Governments in 2018 to install quiet zones in the city. Since 2005, cities have been able to establish quiet zones to stop the use of train horns at crossings under certain circumstances.

Quiet zones became popular after communities and schools began complaining about how train noise interrupted sleep and daily life for millions of Americans, according to Noise Free America.

Under current safety regulations, train operators are required to sound horns to warn the public every time a train approaches an atgrade street crossing. The city says that from 2013 to 2023, the number of Westminster train crossings varied between six and 16 daily trips, resulting in a minimum of 18 to 48 train horns every 24 hours.

Typically, one-half of those train horns occur between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., according to Westminster officials.

Post-high school certificates good business

BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

Coloradans who graduate from college or trade schools are ready to join the labor market equipped with highdemand, highly competitive skills needed to thrive in their chosen career path - according to the Colorado Department of Higher Education’s latest Return on Investment Report.

Angie Paccione, Ph.D - the department’s executive director - said there are significant benefits to getting any education or training beyond high school.

“When you attain higher education, you get higher earnings, better health outcomes,” said Paccione. “You get less unemployment. Typically, debt goes down.”

Nine out of ten employers in the state say they have jobs to fill but can’t

find skilled workers.

Colorado ranks second nationally with more than 60% of its residents with some postsecondary education, including large numbers of people who move to the state with a degree in hand.

But just 25% of Black adults have a degree or credential, according to Justice for Black Coloradans.

Paccione pointed to the success of the Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative, which has shown that it’s possible to bridge that attainment gap.

But she said more funding is needed to scale up and reach more students.

“It was designed for low-income students, first-generation students and students of color to get both the scholarships and the wrap-around support services,” said Paccione. “These students will change the trajectories of their families, and of themselves, of

course.”

Each new postsecondary graduate in Colorado contributes more than $132,000 to the state’s GDP. Colorado workers without a degree or credential earn on average less than $1,000 per week, compared with $1,500 per week for those with bachelor’s degrees, and more than $2,000 per week for those with advanced degrees.

Paccione said the state has taken steps to remove cost as a barrier.

“We have about 12 occupations that students in Colorado can pursue at zero cost for tuition and fees,” said Paccione. “The construction trades, firefighting, elementary and early-childhood education, forest management, certified nursing assistants.”

This story via The Associated Press’ Storyshare, of which Colorado Community Media is a member.

Westminster hopes to create a train horn quiet zone near the Historic Downtown, part of a process to hush train traffic through the area.

Three separate agreements with BNSF are required, one for each crossing. The city has signed two agreements for the crossing at Lowell Boulevard and one for the crossing at Bradburn Boulevard, the staff report states.

The quiet zones meet the city’s goals of improving public safety at the crossings while also boosting the visual aesthetics at the locations, according to the staff report.

Packing a lot of cow into a smaller package Miniature Herefords find a niche amid National Western Stock Show giants

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Something to count on at the National Western Stock is the size of the massive bulls on display, but one of the more unique attractions is the Miniature Herefords.

Erin Elridge, who owns Ace High Cattle Company from Bruneau, Idaho, raises the breed for more than 25 markets and shows.

“There are many benefits to the Miniature Hereford; they could be raised on less acreage,” Eldridge said. “They’re easy on ground soil because they weigh less than the standard cattle. They eat hay and corn. If you use them for meat, it all fits in your freezer.”

Eldridge said the breed was first

brought from England to Texas in the 19th Century.

“They were the cattle of the 1940s and 1950s in the United States. The Hereford Miniature cattle started at this small size and then bred to the larger frame Hereford. They were brought over from England by the Largent family and bred in Texas,” Eldridge said.

According to the Miniature Breeders Association, the C.W. Largent family moved from Tennessee to Merkel, Texas, with four sons in 1902. They were the first families in Texas to breed and show registered Miniature Herefords. The goal was to breed valuable cattle, adapt to their ranch’s environmental conditions, and maintain its small stature.

History of bloodline

According to the Miniature Breeders Association, The ancestry of English Miniature Herefords goes back about 250 year. England was massively populated and relied on multi-purpose oxen that pulled carts and provided milk and meat

for the families. During the midcentury, city populations grew the size of animals became a problem.

The association said today’s breed is descended from those oxen.

One family that had been raising cattle in Herefordshire used native grass pastures to feed and fatten the animals and to fulfill the market’s need for beef economically.

Those individual animals were the ancestors of the modern breed.

Miniature Herefords were developed by selective breeding before they were imported to the U.S. from England, according to the Miniature Breeders Association.

Within the next hundred years, breeders of the Miniature Hereford, including the original family, have continued to improve its traits. Miniature Hereford can be registered with the American Hereford Society once tested and free of the dwarfism gene, according to the Miniature Breeders Association.

The mini has the same body proportion characteristic as the fullsize Hereford. They average 42 inches in height and weigh around 1,000 pounds.

According to the Miniature Hereford Breeders Association, mini Hereford are that they are easier to handle due to their small size, reach

maturity at about 20 years old and are very docile. What’s more, they convert the food they eat efficiently and produce high-quality beef.

The breed also retains the outstanding traits of the Hereford.

They are commonly used as pets and are suitable for children in 4H or Future Farmers of America FFA, according to the association.

Arvada’s Feret announces candidacy for HD24 seat Arvada Councilor seeking Lindsay Daugherty’s seat

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Just over two years after being elected to Arvada’s city council, At Large Councilmember Lisa Feret is seeking to represent House District 24 in the Colorado House of Representatives.

Feret announced her candidacy for the office — which encompasses Arvada and parts of Westminster and is currently represented by Democrat Lindsay Daugherty — on Jan. 4 in a video posted to her social media platforms.

Feret filed her candidate affidavit on Sept. 26, 2023, and her committee registration on Oct. 4, 2023. She is

running as a Democrat.

Daugherty is not seeking reelection to her HD24 seat and is instead seeking election to Colorado State Senate as the District 19 representative in the 2024 election. District 19 is currently represented by Democrat Rachel Zenzinger, who is term-limited.

Prior to being elected to city council in 2021, Feret — who was elected to city council under her maiden name; Smith — served in the United States Air Force and worked as a military police officer before becoming a social worker and working with Team Rubicon; an organization that deploys people to crisis situations around the world for aid.

In 2022, Feret traveled to Poland to provide medical supplies to Ukrainians amidst the country’s ongoing war with Russia. Her election to city council was her first attempt at serving as

an elected official.

Feret said she is seeking higher office because her background makes her more adept at policymaking at the state level rather than the local level.

“Over the past few years, I realized that the areas around our policymaking for city council — water, sewer, roads, transportation — while I have experience in it, I’m not an expert,” Feret said. “And my background seems to align better with state policy.

So, working with refugees, migrants; working in climate, natural disasters; serving the fires and floods and responding to those, it all seems to align a little bit better for state policy.

“It just seems like my experience can be more impactful for the community if I run for the state office and not stay on city council,” Feret continued.

If Feret were to win election to the State House on Nov. 5, Arvada’s city charter prohibits her from finishing out her term on council, where she would have another year remaining on her term. If she were to win, Feret would be required to resign from her seat, creating a vacancy.

“This resignation would create a vacancy on the Council, which would be filled as required by Arvada City Charter,” Arvada City Attorney Rachel Morris said. “Specifically, the remaining Councilmembers would choose a qualified individual to fill the vacancy by a majority vote within 45 days after the vacancy occurs.”

The last time this process occurred in Arvada was in 2014 after Zenzinger became a state senator. Gerald Marks was appointed to the seat and did not seek reelection. The seat was won by Nancy Ford the following year.

Arvada mayor Lauren Simpson said a call for applicants would likely be made if Feret were to be elected to the State House. Simpson said she felt that Feret would be a good candidate

for the HD24 seat.

“I’ve gotten to know Lisa pretty well over the last few years, and I admire her passion for issues in our community,” Simpson said. “She cares about Arvada and loves policy, and that’s where her real passion is. And I think she’d be a great fit for the state legislature.”

Feret said that her priorities, if elected, would be affordable housing, increasing access to healthcare and making climate-informed policy decisions to protect the environment.

She added said her work in local government informed some of the policy decisions she would lobby for at the State House, particularly regarding unfunded mandates.

“Unfunded Mandates don’t work for municipalities,” Feret said. “We had to implement body-worn cameras, and while I believe in body-worn cameras, having it be a mandate with no funding or support is a huge burden on local governments.

Feret will continue serving on Arvada’s city council through the election cycle and will retain her seat if she does not win the election.

VOICES

Hear ye, hear ye: The Colorado Legislature is now in session

H

old on to your wallet/purse, beware of any loose talk of tax rebates and keep your distance from legislators who will be up for re-election in November (I am somewhat kidding, but be alert).

Obviously, we wait Round #2 of Governor Polis and the Democrat legislative leadership’s attempt to override local land use and zoning controls at the local elected level.

Hopefully, you recall last spring’s unsuccessful effort to usurp local decision-making under the guise of bringing “affordable housing” back to Colorado.

Based on recent comments from the governor and the legislative leadership, it sounds like they have modified their approach for Round #2.

First, they plan to break the previous omnibus legislative package attempt into separate legislative proposals, which is smart. There could be as many as seven different bills introduced to cover the comprehensive thrust of making changes.

Secondly, the Democrats plan to allow Republican representation “at the table” so to speak and not keep them in the dark.

Third and most importantly, they are talking to the various interest groups including municipalities and counties to seek their input ahead of introducing legislation. You could call Round #2 a “more amenable” approach.

What’s up for grabs?

It’s basically the same list of targets as last year. First, the state wants authority to mandate higher residential zoning aka apartments in and along transportation corridors.

Secondly, there is a high priority to relax local controls over ADU’s or auxiliary dwelling units such as gran-

ny flats. Such legislation would allow a separate small house on the same lot to create a separate dwelling unit to rent or sell with the idea of low rent/ sales price.

Third, the Democrats are now willing to revisit the Bill Christopher existing “constructions defect law” pertaining to the construction of condominiums. Condo construction could be the least expensive “initial housing” for young and old, but the existing Colorado law is too expensive for builders to absorb and too easy for homeowners to bring defects litigation against the builder.

Hopefully, the legislature can find a “middle ground” which is viable for all parties concerned. Our own Representative Shannon Bird DWestminster and fellow Joint Budget Committee member Rachael Zenzinger have teamed up to tackle the “builders defects law.”

Hopefully, with less acrimony, this session’s efforts will produce a viable approach.

CROSS CURRENTS

tracked down throughout the United States. The searching, arresting and prosecuting the offenders of the Jan. 6 attack on our democracy have become the largest criminal investigation in American history. Sad but true!

More than 1,230 people have been charged with various federal crimes in the riot which range from misdemeanor offenses like trespassing to felonies like assaulting law enforcement officers and seditious conspiracy.

Thus far approximately 730 individuals have pled guilty while another 170 have been convicted of one or more charges at trials decided by a judge or a jury, according to an Associated Press database. To demonstrate how illegal and inappropriate the rioters were in their actions, only two defendants have been acquitted of all charges per judges’ decisions.

About 750 people have been sentenced with approximately 67% receiving some time behind bars.

U.S. Supreme Court could overturn charges

It’s not an anniversary to celebrate.

That is for sure. It still conjures up photos flashing in my mind of the rioters slugging law enforcement officers in front of the U.S. Capitol, the bare-chest man with the horned helmet shouting at the crowd, the bashing of windows to enter the Capitol, the Proud Boys in their military outfits and much, much more.

It is now three years later and justice is still being metered out to those

Over 300 of the defendants have been charged with obstruction of an official offense which includes Donald Trump. The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case claiming these cases are inappropriately brought against Jan. 6 defendants.

The obstruction cases pertain to the disruption of Congress’ certification of the 2020 Presidential electoral results.

The outcome of the high court’s ruling could impact all of these charges which include cases already finalized.

It is another piece of many pending legal matters which focus on former President Trump. Stay tuned for this hearing with an announced decision likely to come this summer.

throw our government accountable!

Donald Trump and his followers have harassed and threatened our secretary of state and election officials here in Colorado. This has to be stopped we have to protect our freedom to vote. So many Americans are worried that this violent act

could happen again we must put a stop to it!

No one is above the law Donald Trump and his allies need to be held accountable!

I am ending with a call to action!

Mimimum wages jump all over the map

With the start of a new year, there is some good news for some of the country’s lowest-paid workers. Minimum wages have been adjusted upward in 22 states and more than three dozen cities and counties.

About 20 states still use the federal minimum wage which unfortunately is currently stuck at $7.25 per hour.

Among the various states with their own minimums, these newly adjusted amounts reflect the lowest at $10.30 per hour for Montana, $10.33 for Michigan and $10.45 for Ohio.

On the high end, Washington State went to $16.28 per hour with California and New York (NYC, Long Island and Westchester) right behind them at $16 per hour. It should be noted that Washington DC is schedule to increase their minimum wage from $15.00 to $17.50 in July.

Colorado adjusted its minimum wage from $13.65 to $14.42 per hour.

The increases will achieve wage increases for approximately 9.9 million workers according to the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington-based think tank. Some cities see the need to establish their own minimum wage which are higher that the state’s amount. The City of Tukwila, Washington, south of Seattle, takes the cake with the highest hourly rate jumping from $18.99 per hour to $20.29 in the New Year.

Seattle is right behind them at $19.97. There are more than three dozen cities and counties which are hiking their minimum wage according to GovDocs. They include Mountain View, Calif. at $18.85, Denver at $18.29, Flagstaff, Ariz. at $17.40 and Portland, Maine at $15 per hour.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Hold Trump accountable

On Jan. 6th 2021, in an attempt to cling to power and ignore our free and fair election results, Donald Trump and his Republican allies instigated a violent insurrection. We must hold Donald Trump and everyone who helped him try to over-

act would protect voters and election officials and ensure our voting rights are upheld!

LAWSUIT FROM PAGE 1

Both the governing board and parents say the schools have faced multiple challenges with ACA over the past six years since their first school began operating in Lone Tree, including high turnover among school leaders and teachers and debates over what curriculum to use. The board in September unanimously voted to end its contract with ACA on June 30, 2024, “contingent upon continued cooperation by ACA,” minutes from a Sept. 26 board meeting show. Rob Williams, the charter school network’s temporary president who has long served as the board chair and treasurer, told The Colorado Sun that the board decided to sever ties sooner.

“We sped that up,” Williams said.

“We didn’t feel like we were going to make it to the end of the year because they weren’t cooperating.”

When the governing board in November decided to pull funding from ACA beginning in January, the management organization “was left with no choice but to layoff its school level

Effort to achieve wages above poverty levels

Obviously, since COVID there has been a more concentrated effort to raise wages above poverty levels. This is especially true for those who work in service jobs such as fast food workers, convenience store clerks, and janitors.

Certainly, inflation has been a key factor in getting states and cities to raise their minimum wage levels.

As far as the federal minimum wage amount goes, you might think it could be eliminated. However, there are about 20 states that rely on the federal requirement as their minimum.

I would hate to think what those 20 states might do if there was not at least a federal “floor-level” requirement.

While there is plenty of merit to see people rising out of poverty over time with these raises, the thing to remember with minimum wage levels is the “push me/pull you” effect. The more wages are required to be increased; the more prices have to be raised to cover the increased cost. For businesses, the cost of increased wages can cause a portion of their work-

staff mid-year,” Derec Shuler, executive director of the organization, wrote in an email to The Colorado Sun. That meant that 313 employees across the four campuses — which educate more than 1,950 students in grades K-12 along with nearly 230 additional students in a home school enrichment program — were out of a job at the end of December.

“Our desire from the beginning was to ensure any terminations would have minimal impact on students, which is why we planned transitions take place in the summer,” Shuler wrote. “This unnecessary and untimely mid-year transition will have impacts on students that we hope are handled to provide for the best experience for families.”

But Williams, who has a daughter at the Lone Tree campus, says neither students nor teachers are feeling any effects since the governing board hired Minga Education Group to take on some of the responsibilities formerly held by ACA. Minga Education Group rehired all school staff members and many of the home office employees within the charter school network so there was no disruption to their employment, according to Williams. force to be laid off. It’s like proverbially “chasing your tail.”

Plus, someone needs to ask what is the monetary value of the work performed by specific positions. What happens when the value of the work performed exceeds the amount paid?

Westminster is seeking point-in-time volunteers

Volunteers are needed to help conduct the annual Point-In-Time count of people who are unsheltered.

In Westminster’s case, the count will take place on January 23 with two shifts being staffed- either 8-11 a.m. or 1-4 p.m.

A one hour training session is required prior to the day of the count.

Teams of up to three will go out and conduct surveys in various parts of the city during daylight.

The head count is important toward determining needed funding and support services to those who are homeless. Please contact the organizers via this short URL: bit.ly/WestyCount.

STARTING 2024 WITH A SPLASH

More than 400 locals inaugurate the new year at Evergreen Lake Plunge

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hether they wanted to support a local cause or wash off any remnants of 2023, more than 400 people from across the Denver metro area celebrated New Year’s Day by jumping into Evergreen Lake.

The annual Evergreen Lake Plunge had record participation in 2024. Nonprofit Active4All, which fundraises for local parks and recreation programs, sold out its 400 pre-registered spots and limited day-of registrations.

The weather was likely a factor, as several plunge veterans said the sunny conditions and 40-degree temperatures made a difference. In other years, participants have faced cloudy, windy weather and literal 0-degree conditions, which made getting out of the water that much worse, they described.

This year’s participants were also a mix of returners and newcomers, with many convincing their friends and relatives to jump too.

Wheat Ridge’s Steve Moyer said doing a Polar Plunge-type event has been on his “bucket list” for years. So, when he decided 2024 would finally be the year he’d take the literal plunge, he convinced three of his loved ones to do it with him.

SPLASH FROM PAGE 14

Moyer even sported a shark hat for the occasion, which was one of many fun costumes people wore to the event.

Evergreen’s Jon Balliet dressed as a hummingbird — complete with sound effects.

Balliet, who’s done the plunge seven or eight times, said he wears a new costume each year. He’s won the costume contest before as a shark eating a person and decided to dress as an elk for 2023’s event.

This year, he chose a hummingbird, saying, “They’re all over Evergreen.”

Brothers Stephen and Greg Leathers — from Highlands Ranch and Englewood, respectively — donned Christmas sweaters and pajama pants for the plunge. Stephen said he talked Greg into doing it, as they both thought it’d be fun.

Greg had plunged before at Lake Michigan, but both were newcomers to the Evergreen event. They appreciated the community aspect of it, noting how many people decided to start 2024 this way — plunging into icy waters together.

Several groups like Evergreen Country Day School seventh-graders and the Evergreen High School girls basketball team plunged together.

Golden High School swimmers Mica Gillaspie and Hanna Heard decided to as well.

Gillaspie, a member of the Evergreen Hurricanes swim team, said she heard about it from her coach and roped Heard into doing it too.

The two said their goals for 2024 included helping the Golden Demons “make it to state.”

The Evergreen Lake Plunge is also a fun New Year’s Day outing for the spectators, like bagpiper Dan Kingsley.

The Lakewood resident said event emcee Alan Gionet recruited him to provide music while participants are waiting in line. Kingsley’s now performed at the event five or six times, describing it as an overall positive experience.

“So many people are out here having a great time,” he said. “ … It’s a good way to start the year off fresh.”

So long, 2023!

Some participants signed up for the 2024 Evergreen Lake Plunge because they had a less-than-ideal 2023 and wanted a powerful way to transition

Dressed as walruses, the Bebarta siblings of Greenwood Village approach the platform for the Jan. 1 Evergreen Lake Plunge. Emma Bebarta, who was doing her third plunge, said she signed her siblings up to do it with her this year.

into the new year.

Greenwood Village siblings Emma, Grace and Owen Bebarta described their 2023 as “eventful” and “weird.”

So, they wanted to start the new year “with a bang.”

Emma, who was completing her third plunge, said she signed up the first time because she “wanted a refresh” after the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, she made her siblings do it with her.

Emma and Grace — who are both in college — and Owen — a junior and a swimmer at Cherry Creek High School — described the plunge as a fun activity they could do together while they were all on winter break.

In that spirit, they donned matching walrus costumes for their family

plunge.

Likewise, Tricia Holloway and Michelle Kemberling — both from Centennial — and Annie Zdrojewski of Evergreen dressed as phoenixes to symbolize starting 2024 by “rising from the ashes.”

The three friends plunged last year, saying it was a strong way to start 2023. Their intention when they plunged, they described, was to have a year of transformation.

2023 was ultimately a transformative year with a lot of growth, they said, but perhaps not in the way they wanted. They described it as “a burning year.”

So, the three were being more specific with their 2024 intentions, asking for transformation mixed with calm, stability and gratitude. And, rather than donning the tutus they wore in 2023, they dressed as phoenixes — creatures burn but rise to soar again.

Holloway, Kemberling and Zdrojewski recommended others try it, as it’s a “beautiful way to start the year” that people won’t regret.

All4 a good cause

The Evergreen Lake Plunge is Active4All’s biggest fundraiser, raising at least $25,000 annually for Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s special education program — called INSPIRE — and other programs.

Balliet said the fundraising aspect is a big reason he plunges every year.

“It’s a great cause,” he said. “Everyone should have access to parks and recreation.”

That’s something Clint Frost and his family know all too well.

Frost’s 9-year-old son is an INSPIRE participant, attending the annual summer camp, and going on regular outings like swimming and horse riding. Frost said his son really enjoys skiing and being in the mountains, adding, “That’s his happy place.”

So, Frost plunged this year to support his son and other INSPIRE participants who benefit from Active4All’s fundraising. Frost said he’s plunged before in 2016 or 2017, but travel and COVID-19 prevented him from doing it again sooner. Now, though, he wants to be a regular.

He described how hard everyone works to make the annual event a success, from the sponsors and organizers to the firefighters and volunteers. The participants’ financial contributions and word-of-mouth advertising are also big factors.

Frost said of everyone who helps make it possible: “I can’t thank them enough.”

There’s no ‘Misery’ at new Miners Alley

F

an culture has never been as prevalent as it is in the age of social media, but toxic fandom has been around as long as there have been celebrities. One of the most famous examples of this is Annie Wilkes, from Stephen King’s classic story, “Misery.”

Most people might be familiar with the famous 1990 film starring Kathy Bates, but there’s also a stage version, which Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse is doing as their first production of 2024.

“It’s a show about survival, celebrity, and how far we can be driven when we’re not fulfilling our true dreams,” said director Warren Sherrill. “It asks the question, how far can someone push the human spirit?”

“Misery” runs at Miners’ new location, 1100 Miners Alley, from Friday, Jan. 19 through Sunday, Feb. 11. Performances are at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

The production is a reunion for Sherrill and lead actress Emma Messenger, who played Annie under Sherrill’s direction at the Edge Theatre seven years ago.

“I think we are both thrilled to get the chance to build on what we had discovered the first go round,” Messenger wrote in an email interview.

“Annie is such a delight to embody. Here you have a mentally teetering woman who lives by her own rules. She’s a character of emotional extremes, flying from child-like yearnings to brutal rages and back again, all within seconds.”

The story follows the trials of romance novelist Paul Sheldon (Torsten Hillhouse), who is rescued from a car crash by Wilkes. She turns out

Misery Chastain, she demands he write a different novel.

Both Sherrill and Messenger spoke glowingly about the team at the new Miners Alley location and how crucial they are in making the production everything it can be.

“It’s a very technical show, Clarke Reader with special effects on stage and everything. Right now, we have the right cast, the right technical crew and the right space,” Sherrill said. “It’s a horror novel, a horror movie and now a horror play and I want people to be sitting on the edge of their seat. I want screams, jumps, all of that.”

While the show does explore some larger truths about society, it’s the type of production audiences are going to love just for the experience.

“I hope audiences come away feeling like they’ve just survived the best theatrical roller coaster of their lives,” Messenger wrote. “I hope it’s scary and fun in all the best ways. There’s a surprising amount of humor hidden in all that shattering horror, so I can’t wait for audiences to buckle up and enjoy the ride.”

SPORTS

Family and friends remember beloved Brush legend and Colorado sports official Gerrard Flores Flores died after falling ill while refereeing a wrestling match — one of five sports he officiated

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Everyone who got to know Gerrard Flores loved him — and Flores knew everyone.

The Brush, Colorado native died doing what he loved — officiating youth wrestling — on Jan. 7. Flores was a father of two boys, grandfather of one, Brush High School homecoming king, three-sport athlete, five-sport official, coach, ordained minister and karaoke aficionado.

He was 55 years old.

Flores was born into a big family — he was one of 13 children. His experiences with sports began at a young age and continued throughout his life, as did his love of his hometown, Brush.

A Beetdigger through and through, even when Flores moved to Colorado Springs, he kept Brush close to his heart, forming a youth baseball organization named after his high school’s mascot.

Flores met his fiancé Rene McElhany in an unlikely place — on the wrestling mat. She joined Flores in his officiating pursuits and encouraged him to try new sports like softball and volleyball. On off nights, the couple would go to youth matches and support other officials “From the beginning, we met on the wrestling mat, and that is where he loved to be,” McElhany said. “But as we got to know each other and started building our relationship, he encouraged me to step on the mat in a different way, and to officiate with him.

“I traveled with him everywhere,” McElhany continued. “(Officiating) was our fun. It was our opportunity

Flores in his youth.

to go on a new adventure and do things together. It was how we lived and loved and spent our free time.”

Flores officiated football for 32 years, wrestling for 25 years, baseball for 18 years, softball for 5 years and started officiating volleyball last year.

One of Flores’ six sisters, Malessa Hernandez, said he worked to make the young people he was officiating feel special and was always a positive presence in life.

“When he would officiate wrestling, he would hold the winners’ arm up and ask them, ‘Where are your parents?’ and he would turn them to their parents to represent the winner — but in his eyes every kid was a winner to him,” Hernandez said. “He was not ever in a bad mood, he was just one happy, happy guy.

“This is such a huge hit not only to our family but numerous communities,” Hernandez continued. “He was just huge to everyone in the world.”

Flores shared his love of sports with his two sons, Trea and Tristin, supporting their athletic endeavors

COURTESY CHAD COX

and sharing his love of the Denver Broncos with them. He was able to meet his grandson, Hendrix — Tristin’s son — before he passed.

Trea said the last time he saw his dad was for a trip to a Broncos game.

“I will never watch a Bronco game the same without my dad,” Trea Flores said. “We enjoyed watching football together and the Broncos were our thing. Our last trip together was going to the Bronco game, and that’s the last time I saw him.

It was a great trip. And he’s a good man.

“You just felt loved by him,” Trea Flores continued. “He loved everyone, literally. So, I’ll just miss him greatly. He just had a big impact in life.”

Stephen Dabelko met Flores on the wrestling mat and said that the relationship Colorado wrestlers had with Flores differed from other officials.

“You couldn’t help but love him,” Dabelko said. “The news of his passing completely broke my son and I. Normally, wrestlers don’t have a relationship with refs but Gerrard was different. He made everyone feel

special. The wrestling community lost one of its favorite people. He made every kid feel important. He found joy in making everyone feel special.”

Flores’ longtime friend JJ Pursely said that Flores enjoyed being involved in every level of the sport and watching those in the community grow up and move through the ranks.

“You could tell that he really enjoyed refereeing; he enjoyed watching your wrestling,” Pursley said.

“He especially enjoyed watching Brush wrestling. And then the coaches that he got to ref when they were in their careers, he loved watching them coach.”

Another of Flores’ sisters, Shaire Chavez, attributed divine intervention to Flores’ ability to impact so many people around the state and country.

“We were all just wondering, ‘How did Gerard impact so many people throughout the United States?’”

Chavez said. “And I came to the conclusion at 3 a.m. this morning that he was literally an angel on earth because how else could someone be loved all over?

“And if this world would live like Gerard did, it’d be a much better place because he was never ever mad,” Chavez said. “He was always so happy.”

Outside of the athletic community, Flores was known as a “jokester, a prankster” who “made everyone laugh and made everyone feel loved,” according to McElhany.

He loved to dance and sing karaoke; his favorite karaoke songs were “Summer Nights,” “Neon Moon,” and “Friends in Low Places.”

McElhany said Flores’ joy in life was to support those around him and keep up long-lasting relationships. An ordained minister, Flores would marry anyone who asked him to, including former players he had coached or refereed.

Detailed outline of activity during the diligence period: Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b), the measure of reasonable diligence is the steady application of effort to complete the appropriation in a reasonably expedient and efficient manner under all the facts circumstances. When a project or integrated system is comprised of several features, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the entire project or system.

Pursuant to paragraph 48 of the Case No. 06CW104 decree, Aurora’s municipal water system and each of the water rights and structures that are part of Aurora’s Prairie Waters Project (“PWP”) that now and in the future will provide water for Aurora comprise an integrated system of water rights and structures under section 37-92-301(4)(b), C.R.S. Therefore, Aurora Water’s work on any part of the PWP constitutes reasonable diligence on the conditional water rights decreed in Case No. 06CW104. Since the Court’s decree and finding of reasonable diligence on the water rights in Case No. 15CW3064, Aurora Water has diligently prosecuted the following additional features of the PWP (expenditure numbers are rounded to the nearest $1,000): 14.1 ProjectSpecific Efforts: During this diligence period, Aurora has expended over $10,700,000 on the construction of several elements of its Prairie Waters Project which enables additional use of the subject water rights. Aurora’s project-specific efforts include design, engineering, construction, and permitting of Vertical Wells 27 through 32 in 2023 and application of water to beneficial use for numerous structures as described in Paragraph 15 herein. 14.2 Systemwide Efforts: During the diligence period, Aurora has accomplished at least the following systemwide efforts that will be used to operate or benefit the conditional rights: 14.2.1 Arkansas River Basin: Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard to maintaining and enlarging its water supply system components in the Arkansas River Basin which are necessary for continuation of its reusable supplies from the Arkansas River Basin. (1) Payment for purchase and lease of Rocky Ford Ditch shares. Aurora spent more than $381,000 during this diligence period for repayment of bonds, including principal and interest, that were issued or refunded for purchase of original Rocky Ford Ditch shares changed in Case No. 83-CW-18, that are a reusable source for the exchanges herein. (2) Revegetation: Aurora has expended at least $1,570,000 during this diligence period for revegetation, including expenditures for expert revegetation classifications and reports, actual revegetation and weed control costs, as well as farm equipment purchases, office overhead and personnel costs, under Case No. 83-CW-18and for revegetation and continued farming of historically irrigated lands pursuant to the decree in Case No. 99-CW169(A). (3) Payments to Otero County. Aurora and Otero County entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement on February 22, 1994, and amended that Agreement on October 29, 2001 under which Amendment Aurora agreed to make annual payments to Otero County concerning the Rocky Ford Ditch shares that are a reusable source for the exchanges herein. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments in excess of $273,000. (4) Pueblo Reservoir Storage: During this diligence period, Aurora paid the Bureau of Reclamation more than $4,316,000 for use of Pueblo Reservoir in the storage and exchange of Arkansas River Basin water upstream for transport and use by Aurora in the South Platte Basin. (5) Intergovernmental Agreement with SECWCD: On October 3, 2003, Aurora entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District (“SECWCD”), replacing an agreement between the parties dated December 7, 2001. Aurora’s use of Fryingpan-Arkansas facilities for certain water rights is discussed under this IGA. During this diligence period,

Aurora has made payments of more than $1,113,000 to SECWCD under this IGA. (6) Agreements for Use of the Holbrook Reservoir System Facilities: On March 1, 2005, Aurora entered into two agreements pertaining to the use of the diversion, conveyance and storage facilities of the Holbrook Mutual Irrigating Company (“Holbrook”). These agreements implement a program to recapture and store yield from foregone diversions of senior water rights. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments of approximately $419,000 to Holbrook under this agreement. (7) Intergovernmental Agreement with LAVWCD: Pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservation District (“LAVWCD”), Aurora paid approximately $500,000 to LAVWCD for the identification and implementation of infrastructure improvements, research, and investigations designed to assist in the permitting or implementation of water leasing programs in the Lower Arkansas Valley, as well as remediation and restoration efforts in the Fountain Creek Corridor. (8) Recovery of Yield (“ROY”). Aurora, along with Colorado Springs, The Pueblo Board of Water Works, the City of Fountain, and The Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, are pursuing adjudication of the exchanges necessary as a result of the 2004 Regional Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) between various water providers and the City of Pueblo. As part of the IGA, the water providers agreed to allow certain of their senior flows to pass through Pueblo’s RICD reaches on the condition those flows could be removed downstream and exchanged back upstream. This case lays the foundation for those exchanges. Aurora has expended significant sums on these efforts.

The ROY partners have acquired land to prospectively be used as a reservoir site at a cost of $780,000 to Aurora. (9) Assessments Paid for Use of Twin Lakes, Lake Henry/Lake Meredith, Rocky Ford Ditch. During this diligence period, Aurora paid the following in annual assessments: approximately $450,000 for Twin Lakes Company (necessary for storage); at least $2,040,000 for the Colorado Canal/Lake Henry/ Lake Meredith (necessary for storage); and approximately $1,450,000 for the Rocky Ford Ditch for the shares attributable to the Subject Rocky Ford Ditch Water Right. 14.2.2 Colorado River Basin: Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard the its water supply system components in the Colorado River Basin that are necessary for continuation of its reusable supplies from the Colorado River Basin. (1) During this diligence period, Aurora negotiated with Objectors in Case No. 19CW3159, Water Division 5, and entered into Stipulations all of the Objectors in that case, which adjudicated an exchange of water released by Aurora from its Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal Company water rights in the Roaring Fork River basin. A decree in this matter is pending. (2) Aurora has continued to pursue development of a joint project or projects as contemplated in a 1998 Memorandum of Understanding with Vail Associates, Upper Eagle River Regional Water Authority, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Cypress Climax Mining Company and the Colorado River Water Conservation District. On June 21, 2004, the City of Aurora entered into an additional Water Exchange Agreement with the Eagle Park Reservoir Company, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority, and Vail Associates, Inc. to supplement a 1998 Water Exchange Agreement. This agreement affects operations of the Homestake water rights and deliveries of reusable water to Aurora for use in the exchanges herein. On January 5, 2010, the City of Aurora entered into a Consolidated Water Exchange Agreement to supplement, merge and consolidate the 1998 and 2004 agreements. Aurora seeks to further maximize the operations of the Homestake water rights with these projects. A diligence application was filed by the parties to the agreements in regard to the subject exchange rights in 2023. (3) Homestake Project: During this diligence period, work was done on the Homestake Arkansas River Diversion to improve the ability to divert water to Otero Pump Station from the Arkansas River. Once water is transported over the continental divide through the Homestake Pipeline and, it is then transported to Spinney Mountain eservoir in the South Platte Basin via the Otero Pump Station and Pipeline. The Otero Pipeline will also convey water to the Wild Horse Reservoir that is presently in the permitting stages. (4) During this diligence period, Aurora prosecuted Case No. 2023CW3031, 2020CW3024 and 23CW3087 Water Division 5 through the Homestake Partners entity, comprising the City of Aurora and the City of Colorado Springs Utility.

These water court matters seek a decree confirming diligence and continuing in effect the conditional water rights originally decreed in

Case No. 98-CW-270, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. (5) During this diligence period, Aurora executed a Recovery Agreement (3-27-20) with the United States and Wildlife Service regarding the Recovery Implementation Program for Endangered Fish Species in the Upper Colorado River Basin (Recovery Program). The purpose of the Recovery Agreement is to formalize Aurora’s participation in the Recovery Program, provide certainty that Aurora’s Colorado River depletions can occur consistent with the Endangered Species Act, and provide that Aurora will take reasonable actions to support implementation for the Recovery Elements specified in the 1999 Programmatic Biological Opinion. During the previous diligence period, the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program, Recovery Implementation Program and Recovery Action Plan Participation Agreement (11-01-13) was executed with Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, and a Ruedi Insurance Water Cost Participation Agreement (11-01-13) with the City and County of Denver. Through implementation of these agreements, the east slope water users’ commitment for 5412.5 acre-feet of water annually to the Recovery Program is being met. Aurora has and continues to provide its annual prorata share of operation and maintenance costs associated with these agreements. In addition, Aurora participates and annually contributes to the Colorado Water Congress Colorado River Project for collaboration and support of the Recovery Program by the water users in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. (6) During this diligence period Aurora embarked on a rehabilitation project of the Carlton (Busk Ivanhoe) Tunnel. This project will repair damage and cave-ins inside the tunnel that conveys Aurora’s Busk Ivanhoe water from Ivanhoe Reservoir to the eastern slope and Turquoise Reservoir. To date this project has cost Aurora over $4,000,000. 14.2.3 South Platte River Basin: Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard its water supply system components in the South Platte River Basin which are necessary for continuation of its reusable supplies from the South Platte River Basin.

(1) Cherry Creek Well Field: (i) Quantification and Determination of Lawn Irrigation Return Flows: Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 02-CW-341, Water Division 1, on September 25, 2008, quantifying LIRFs from its municipal system (and subsequent requantifications as required by the Decree in 02-CW-341), generated as a result of use of transmountain water rights, fully consumable in-basin water rights, decreed and permitted non-tributary sources and any other fully consumable water available to Aurora.

During this diligence period, Aurora has expended over $464,000 in engineering costs requantifying the LIRFs adjudicated in Case No. 02-CW-341 available for exchange. (ii) Upper Cherry Creek Water Association (“UCCWA”): Aurora is a member of the UCCWA established on December 17, 2001. The parties to UCCWA seek to continue and promote the cost-effective joint operation of certain Cherry Creek water facilities in a manner that optimizes each members’ water rights while protecting others from injury. Aurora pays annual dues as a member of UCCWA. Aurora expended $50,000 for dues during this diligence period. A portion of Aurora’s expenditures during this diligence period for the Upper Cherry Creek Basin Management Plan are included in these dues. (iii) Water Division 1, Case No. 01-CW-284: On December 28, 2001, UCCWA filed an application for approval of a plan for augmentation, appropriative rights of exchange and water storage right in Case No. 01-CW-284. A final decree was entered on December 4, 2007. The exchanges that are the subject of Case No. 01-CW-284 include the exchange reaches and replacement sources that are the subject of this application.

Paragraph 53 of the 01-CW-284 decree provides that “for purposes of showing diligence and completing each Member’s conditional water rights, application of each Member’s conditional water rights as replacement water under this plan for augmentation shall be diligence as to completion of the Member’s conditional water rights under individual decrees, and shall form a basis for a claim by UCCWA or any of its Members that such conditional water rights should be made absolute.” On October 21, 2015, UCCWA obtained a decree in Water Division 1, Case No. 13-CW-3184, making a portion of the conditional rights absolute and finding reasonable diligence on the remainder. (iv) Upper Cherry Creek Basin Modeling: Aurora continues to model the Upper Cherry Creek Basin through an agreement with Parker that ran from 2016 to

September 2018, with extensions in additional years of 2019 and 2020. These efforts help facilitate and optimize Aurora’s operation of the exchanges herein.

Improvements to this facility completed during this diligence period cost of $8,081,000. Aurora also expended an additional $7,048,000 in operating costs for the Sand Creek plant. These improvements are necessary for use of this water as a substitute supply under the exchanges herein. (vii) Rehabilitation of Cherry Creek Wells: From 2015 to 2018, Aurora conducted a rehabilitation and improvement project on the Cherry Creek Well Field at a cost of $2,416,000. This work was necessary to allow continued withdrawal of Aurora’s water supply from the wells under the exchanges herein. (2) Griswold Water Treatment Plant Renovations: This facility treats a portion of the raw water before it is delivered to Aurora’s customers. Over $51,814,000 was spent by Aurora during this diligence period for improvements to this facility. (3) Wemlinger Water Treatment Plant Expansion: During this diligence period, Aurora spent over $37,473,000 on expansion of the Wemlinger Water Treatment Plant.

Wild Horse Reservoir will facilitate functionality of Aurora’s Arkansas and Colorado basin collection, transmission and delivery systems. During this diligence period, Aurora has expended over $16,000,000 towards the development of Wild Horse Reservoir. (6) Aurora Know Your Flow Program. During the diligence period Aurora Water Conservation developed its voluntary Know Your Flow Program designed to help customers understand how efficiently they are using water. Through the program, Aurora Water Conservation estimates what a customer’s water use could be for a given billing cycle if the customer were using water efficiently. The customer receives a monthly e-mail from Aurora Water Conservation showing the property’s actual water use versus the customized recommended indoor and outdoor water use. Customers also receive weekly watering recommendations and tips during the irrigation season. The Know Your Flow Program was designed by Aurora to encourage more efficient use of the water that is the subject of this application. (7) Binney Water Purification Facility: This state-of-the-art water purification and recycling plant owned and operated by Aurora treats water for use throughout the City. Over $3,477,000 was spent by Aurora during the diligence period for improvements to this facility. (8) Spinney Mountain Reservoir. Aurora expended substantial sums for facility upgrades during the diligence period, including internal outlet works inspections, applications of protective coatings on outlet pipes, assessment, design and extension of the storm drainage systems below the dam, installation of filter trench drains, measurement devices, and installation of heater jackets over valve operators. (9) Improvements to Extend and Improve Water Service in and to Aurora Water. At least $105,950,000 was spent by Aurora Water for extension and upgrade of its water transmission system necessary to deliver water to Aurora Water’s customers. (10) Improvements to Sanitary Sewer System. Up to $68,476,000 was spent by Aurora Water for extension and upgrade of its sanitary sewer system necessary for wastewater treatment and reuse within the South Platte River Basin. (11) Rampart Reservoir and Delivery System. Approximately $12,318,000 was spent by Aurora during this diligence period for improvements to the Rampart Reservoir delivery system. This reservoir is used to store the water before it is transported through parallel 54” and 40” pipelines to Aurora treatment facilities. Rampart Reservoir is important for regulation of the flow through these parallel pipelines. 14.2.4 Non-Basin Specific: (1) Integrated Water Master Plan. Aurora updates this plan every five years as part of its inclusive overall planning process. Aurora expended over $2,270,000 during the subject diligence period on this effort. (2) Legal Fees. During the dili-

gence period Aurora expended over $5,000,000 in legal fees for developing additional water sources for its system, protection of its water rights including the subject exchanges in water courts in Water Divisions One, Two and Five cases, and prosecution of changes of water rights to integrate acquired water rights into Aurora’s municipal supply system. 14.3 Other: Aurora reserves the right to identify additional relevant efforts that may be later discovered or to make upward adjustments to amounts expended on certain projects. Aurora has an extensive water rights portfolio, an extensive and complex water supply, collection, treatment and reuse system, and an extensive number of agreements, contracts, leases, etc. related to its facilities and the use, reuse and storage of its water rights. Aurora is involved in many legal actions related to the collection, treatment, reuse and protection of its water rights. Further, the management, protection, and operation of the water rights and the facilities system involve numerous City of Aurora departments and staff members throughout the state. Aurora made diligent efforts with regard to this Application to determine and quantify all efforts made by the City toward completion of the appropriations and application of the water rights decreed in consolidated Case Nos. 95-CW-226 and 95-CW-227 to beneficial use. However, it is reasonably possible that relevant efforts or expenditures may have been overlooked or need further upward adjustment. Claims to Make Conditional Water Rights Partially Absolute 15.

“It was his great pleasure to encourage and to lift up those that he loved,” McElhany continued. “He had a wealth of friends from all different areas of life, all the way back to his school days that he still kept in contact, to probably just the person he met on the street yesterday. And he valued all of them very deeply.”

Flores’ friend Chad Cox echoed McElhany’s sen-

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.
