PLANNING PROGRAMS

Dems launch Northglenn asking residents how they want to use recreation center P6 second attempt to allow more ADUs

BY BRIAN EASON AND JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Single-family homeowners in the most populous parts of Colorado would be allowed to build accessory dwelling units on their properties under a bill introduced in late January in the legislature aiming to override local zoning rules in areas that currently prohibit them.

House Bill 1152 is the first of several marquee bills that Democrats at the Capitol, in partnership with Gov. Jared Polis, are expected to introduce this year that would target city and county land use regulations in an effort to tackle Colorado’s affordable housing crisis.

A similar push last year ended in a political dumpster fire for the governor when he tried to pack an array of changes into one measure that ultimately failed after weeks of animosity between him and local leaders. In 2024, Polis plans to pursue the same policy changes, albeit through bite-sized pieces of legislation — the first of which is the accessory dwelling units bill introduced Tuesday.

Accessory dwelling units, also called ADUs, granny flats or casitas, are secondary residences that are either attached or adjacent to single-family homes.

Thornton mulls conduct rules for public meetings Council members worry about smothering free speech rights of those talking to council

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton City Council Tuesday night wrestled over potentially stricter policies aimed at the actions of council members and the public who speak during meetings.

No official action was taken during a lengthy planning session and no formal vote is likely until this spring.

But the proposed changes sparked plenty of debate over how much authority should council members

have over each other and the residents who express their thoughts – sometimes angrily - before the council.

Mayor Jan Kulmann said this is a good time to review council rules before the political season becomes too heated.

“I think now we need to take a breath and see what we can do to bring civility back into the chambers,” Kulmann said. “There just seems to be nationwide, a frustration among the public with our public bodies.

“We spend hours listening to the public, but the public often feels they are not being heard,” added Kulmann.

Kulmann said the council will likely get guidance about codes of conduct for the council from the National League of Cities and the Colo-

rado Municipal League. Both groups are having conferences this spring.

Kulmann and Mayor Pro Tem Karen Bigelow will also be working on some council policy changes. Council members Tuesday night especially targeted the need for an absentee policy for council members.

“If we don’t show up for our jobs, that doesn’t do much for our public accountability,” Kulmann said.

“We have heard from plenty of residents who have concerns that we do not have an attendance policy,” added Councilmember Kathy Henson.

No rush for sanctions

Councilmembers, however, say they were reluctant to issue sanctions – including expulsion - for fellow council members who don’t regularly show up for meetings.

Some said a recall of chronically absent council members was the best recourse.

“I know the recall process is hard, but it exists,” Councilmember Justin Martinez said. “I don’t feel personally comfortable saying someone shouldn’t be holding that seat.”

Some area city council meetings have been the target of hate speech provided by anonymous speakers

during virtual public comment periods, according to a city staff report to the council. There was no indication that hate speech has been spewed during Thornton meetings.

Still, one of the changes proposed by staff members was to prevent people using virtual means from speaking to the council. Speakers also must be required to use the mayor’s and councilmembers’ official titles.

Neither suggestion made much traction among the council members.

Audience members also could not distribute materials or objects in the council chambers during a meeting and could not “cheer, yell, whistle, clap, or stomp” and “… engage in any other conduct that disturbs, disrupts, or otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of the meeting,” according to the staff report.

Councilmember Henson said she was concerned that many of the staff’s suggestions could hinder someone’s ability to speak freely to the council.

“We have to be very careful about boxing people in and taking away their freedom of speech,” Henson said.

Woods leaving Thornton post March 31 City Manager announces retirement

BY MONTE WHALE MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kevin Woods, who has been at the helm of Thornton city government since October 2017 is leaving his post as city manager.

Woods told members of the Thornton City Council on Jan. 26 of his decision to retire effective March 31, according to a City of Thornton news release.

Woods has had a 42-year career in government service, previously serving as Town Manager in Stallings, N.C., and retiring in 2009 from the U.S. Army after a 26-year career, the news release states.

“I have truly enjoyed my six-plus

years serving the Thornton community,” Woods said. “It has been my privilege to work with such a talented and committed group of professionals. The residents and businesses in Thornton should know they have such high-quality people serving them in city government,” he said in the news release.

“I commend staff on the job they do every day and I hope everyone in Thornton knows what good hands they are in the senior leaders and staff in Thornton,” Woods said.

Woods said he is looking forward to spending more time with his family and friends in the near term, the news release states.

Thornton City Council has the responsibility of hiring the city manager. No plans have been announced for the selection of an interim city manager or the process for hiring the next city manager, the city said.

‘Empty Nest’ Baby Boomers Own Twice as Many Big Homes as Millennials With Kids A recent study by Redfin found that 28% of “empty nester” baby boomers owned homes with three or more bedrooms, while only 14% of millennials with children had homes with 3+ bedrooms. The study was based on 2022 census data, the most recent available.

Looked at another way, 45.5% of empty nester boomers own big homes. Only 27% of millennials with kids own a big home, and only 3% of Gen Z families with children own a big home. Those are national numbers. Here are the numbers for Denver and three other cities: Denver Los Angeles San Francisco New York City

Boomers Millennials 25.0% 15.1% 23.7% 9.4% 26.1% 10.9% 23.9% 11.8%

Gen Z parents with children are even worse off. The report states that almost none of them (0.3%) own homes with 3+ bedrooms. Remember, the key word here is “own.” Gen Z and many millennial families are more likely to be renters than homeowners.

(Adult Gen Zers are 19 to 25 years old, millennials are 26 to 41, Gen Xers are 42 to 57, and baby boomers are 58 to 76.)

Rita and I, as baby boomers, are part of a trend I expect to grow — selling our big home and becoming renters. As our fellow boomers get older, they are already wanting to downsize, not only because of the empty bedrooms in their oversized home. They want freedom from home maintenance, lawn care, and other household responsibilities.

Buying a condo or renting an apartment (as we did) has the additional advantage of creating a “lock and leave” situation, allowing seniors to go on vacation — to see their grandchildren or take a cruise.

What surprised me was that ten years earlier, the numbers were almost equal for those two groups, according to Redfin; “In 2012, empty nesters of the silent generation (who were 67 to 84 at the

time) took up 16% of homes with 3+ bedrooms. That’s a smaller share than Gen Xers (who were 32 to 47 at the time) with kids, who took up 19% of those large homes.”

I can think of several possible explanations for the most recent statistics. For starters, change is hard. It’s uncomfortable, especially if you are elderly. For the 54% of boomers who own their home free and clear, the cost of staying put is low, and the cost of moving is high. For boomers who have a mortgage, it is at a very low rate if, like the rest of us, they refinanced into loans around 3% or even lower. They can’t take that mortgage with them to a replacement home, and current rates (6 to 7 percent) seem really high given what they’re paying now.

The failure of boomers to put their large homes on the market has reduced the supply of bigger homes for millennials to purchase. Additionally, millennials who don’t currently own a home wouldn’t have any equity to help them with a down payment on a new home.

Affordability remains a big obstacle for millennials, and Redfin estimates that 19% of them don’t even want to purchase a new home. Also, many like to live “where the action is” in center cities, where big homes are scarce.

Whether or not they are waiting for the opportunity to buy a large home, millennials with kids already make up the largest age group that is renting homes with three or more bedrooms — 24.8%. Millennials without kids are the next biggest age group renting homes with 3+ bedrooms — 11.6%. The third largest age group renting such homes is us empty-nest baby boomers — 11.4%.

Rita and I are renting a 3-bedroom apartment because I need an office and we wanted to have a room for guests.

I am on a world cruise until May 6 (see

but it’s a “working vacation.” I answer my cell phone and return emails, so feel free to reach out to me with your real estate needs and questions!

No Real Estate Brokerage Exposes Your Home to As Many Buyers As Golden Real Estate Does

If you choose one of our broker associates or me to list your home, it will be featured in this weekly ad. But did you know how many newspapers publish this column? It appears every Thursday in all editions of the Denver Post’s YourHub section, plus the following weekly newspapers: Arvada Press, Brighton Standard Blade, Canyon Courier, Castle Pines News-Press, Castle Rock News-Press, Centennial Citizen, Clear Creek Courant, Commerce City Sentinel Express, Denver Herald-Dispatch, Douglas County News Press, Elbert County News, Englewood Herald, Fort Lupton Press, Golden Transcript, Highlands Ranch Herald, Hustler 285, Jeffco Transcript, Littleton Independent, Lone Tree Voice, MetroWest Advertiser, Northglenn-Thornton Sentinel, Parker Chronicle, South Platte Independent & Westminster Window. The total circulation is over 300,000!

Older baby boomers might want to make the same calculation Rita and I made when we sold our big home. We realized that, because of the increase in market value of our home, we could net a substantial amount of cash by selling our home, even after paying capital gains above the $500,000 marital exclusion. Our home’s equity was not paying us any dividends sitting in our house, and it wouldn’t pay us dividends if we sequestered it in, say, a patio home.

Thanks to Medicare, we realized that by investing the net proceeds from the sale of our house we would generate a monthly income greater than the rent we would be paying, and that’s without dipping into the Social Security income that we were already earning. The big increase we were seeing in our property tax added to that calculation, as did my hunch that the surge in home values may have peaked and could decline in future years. It was a good time to sell.

If you’re a senior citizen sitting on substantial equity, you might reach the same conclusion we did — that selling and renting is, surprisingly, the smart

thing to do. (I never thought, especially as a Realtor, that renting would make more sense, but, at our age, it actually does.)

And consider this: If you sell your home and don’t buy another one, the “lock-in effect” of your current low-rate mortgage no longer applies.

Beware of Cloned Realtor Voices

I Recommend Subscribing to Big Pivots

This & That: Smaller Topics Not Worth Full Articles The Colorado Association of Realtors recently warned that a new use of artificial intelligence involves cloning the voices of trusted real estate professionals to scam them and their clients. One CAR member had this done.

CAR made these suggestions for staying safe: Intercept Suspicious Calls: Be cautious of robocalls that pressure you to act immediately, particularly from unknown numbers.

Confirm Identities: If you receive a robocall or suspicious call claiming to be someone you know, hang up. Contact that person directly using a number you trust to verify the call.

Limit Public Information: Consider the personal information you share online.

Scammers can use this to tailor attacks like robocalls.

Report and Block: If you receive a robocall that seems like a scam, report it to the authorities. You can also block the number to prevent future calls.

EVs Could Drive Down Electric Costs

On my posting of this article online at RealEstateToday.substack.com, there is a link to a report about several studies which conclude that EVs will actually contribute to more efficient utilization of the electric grid and thereby drive down electric costs for all consumers.

One reason is that most EV charging is done overnight, creating a revenue stream for utilities during hours of low electric demand.

Leash talk a draw at Westminster Hills Open Space About 200 people review restoration plan for popular off-leash park

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About 200 people looked at the city’s management plans for the popular Westminster Hills Open Space, which annually draws about 1 million visitors a year.

The open house was the first step in year-long study of the 1,000-acre park, which includes a 420-acre off leash dog park which draws dog lovers from all over the north metro area, according to the city of Westminster website.

City officials will use the study to

come up with a plan to guide oversight open space for the next several years.

Westminster Hills Open Space makes up roughly one-third of the city’s open space land, the website states. The site also includes several wildlife species such as the black tailed prairie dog, bald eagle and two threatened species – Preble’s Meadow Jumping Moss and the northern leopard frog, according to the city.

City officials say the off-leash dog part is partly responsible for the popularity of the open space. But dogs are tough on local wildlife, a city study released in November states.

Dogs caused most wildlife to move away from the area, which can permanently reduce the amount of habitat available to wild birds and animals. “Birds flush more easily in the presence of dogs more than people,

resulting in reduced fitness and nesting failures,” the report states.

Dog feces add significant nitrogen to the soil, which encourages the growth of non-native plants at the expense of native plants, the report states.

“The unpredictability of off-leash dogs prevents wildlife habitation in large areas of habitat,” according to the report.

The city is in the early stages of assessing the open space and community engagements will be a significant part of the process, said City of Westminster spokesman Andy Le via email.

“We’re not close to a decision, and there’s a lot more community engagement ahead of us,” Le said. “There will be at least another meeting later this spring and these scenarios will be presented to the City Council, too.”

High school graduates who live in a United Power service area and are interested in a career as utility line workers can apply for United Power’s new $7,500 lineman scholarship.

“We are excited to introduce the United Power Lineman Scholarship as part of our ongoing commitment to support continuing education in the communities we serve,” said Julie Stewart, Community Outreach Coordinator at United Power, in a written statement. “The Lineman Scholarships are the newest addition to our annual cooperative scholarship program and will be awarded along with an additional $31,500 in post-sec-

Youth theater gets NEA boost in Northglenn

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A $10,000 grant from the prestigious National Endowment for the Arts to the Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation will help diversify participation in Northglenn Youth Theatre programs, say city officials.

The Northglenn Youth Theatre – or NYT – began in 1994 and has grown into the Northglenn Arts foundational program because of

its community reach and impact, said Michael Stricker, City of Northglenn’s Arts, Culture & Community Manager.

The NEA grant will support efforts to research, survey and adjust internal processes for recruitment, marketing, and program implementation to increase diversity in the NYT, Stricker said.

“The program has been a huge success over the years but now is the time to pause, evaluate how well we are reaching under-served

communities, and do the work to build a better pipeline for access to all youth,” Stricker said via email.

The grant is coming in tandem with the recent establishment of the Northglenn Youth Theatre Scholarship Endowment, Stricker said.

“The endowment’s purpose is to ensure all youth have access to NYT and its many programs, regardless of economic status,” he said.

The NEA grant is specifically designated to support initiatives aimed at diversifying youth theater pro-

grams, according to the NEA news release.

“These grants, awarded in all artistic disciplines, primarily support small organizations engaging in variety of arts projects that reach historically underserved communities,” the news release states. “These communities may have limited access to the arts due to factors such as geography, ethnicity, economics, and/disability.”

Residents can have their say on offerings at the Northglenn Recreation Center

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At 74, Marcie Haloin has only one true vice in her life. She gets her fix at the three-year-old Northglenn Recreation Center.

“I play pickleball with a group of friends probably four to five times a week,” Haloin said. “I can’t keep away. I’ll admit I’m addicted.”

She says it’s a good day at the pickleball courts when everybody gets to play and nobody gets hurt.

The $54.6 million Northglenn complex – which includes the Parsons Theater and a senior center – was built in October 2021. It includes pickleball courts as well as a full menu of other activities.

There is basketball, volleyball, a six-lane lap/competition swimming

pool, a warm water leisure pool, a water slide, a sun deck, a jogging track, a weight room and the group fitness studios.

The complex boasts locker rooms and private cabanas, a catering kitchen and a multi-purpose party room and community rooms, a festival lawn for live music and outdoor movies, a new Memorial Parkway and a plaza for the Veteran’s Memorial, according to the city.

There has been a steady increase in the number of people visiting the 87,887-square-foot facility, said Amanda Peterson, Northglenn’s director of parks, recreation and culture.

It drew 293,00 visitors in 2023, an increase of about 10% over the prior year, Peterson said. The figures include program registrants, drop in participants, even attendees and spectators, she said via email.

Northglenn officials have tried to include programs that attract a broad base of interests, Peterson said.

“Even though the center is not that old we want to continue to evolve to meet the needs of as many people as we can,” she said. “That’s something we take very seriously.”

With an eye for staying fresh, the city’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is hosting a public hearing for residents to voice their ideas of what could be improved at the recreation center.

The hearing will be held on Feb. 8 at 5:30 p.m. at the Northglenn City Hall, Council Chambers, 11701 Community Center Drive.

Recommendations from residents will be seriously considered as the city works to keep programs and ac-

tivities up-to-date, Peterson said.

“The public hearing will assist me in the development of our recreation program, and we will take those recommendations to the council,” she said. “We want to offer community members the opportunity to tell us what’s going well and what they want to see more of and to improve others.”

A consistent request is the expansion of youth programs at the center, she said.

“They have a strong following,” she said.

At least $42 million in funding that helped build the complex came from the city issuing certificates of funding – or COPS, according to the city’s website.

The COPS is being paid back through a 4% marijuana tax, a 1.2% sales tax and an annual $1.7 million general fund transfer, according to the city.

Other funding included $11 million in bonds from the Northglenn Urban Renewal Authority for the installation of public infrastructure, a $1.5 million grant from Adams County Open Space for the construction of the festival lawn and veteran’s memorial plaza and $100,000 from a Science and Cultural Facilities District grant for the installation of a commissioned art installation in the performing arts theatre lobby, according to the city.

Haloin says the funding was well spent. Besides her pickleball playing, she has also taken in several performances at the 335-seat Parsons Theatre. “It’s a beautiful complex,” the former educator said. “I just love spending time here.”

Maria Rosario Jackson, PhD, Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, pointed to the diverse range of projects that contributed to the well-being of individuals and communities in her announcement of the grants.

“Whether it’s the creation of new art, opportunities for public engagement, or work to better understand the impact of the arts, these grants build towards a future in which all people can lead artful lives and reach their full potential,” Rosario Jackson said in the news release.

NYT includes four main offers – the main program provided to 12–18-year-olds, NYT Jr. for 8-12 years old, the Missoula Children’s

Theatre, and dynamic classes, camps and workshops through NYT Academy, Stricker said.

Northglenn Youth Theatre and its programs served 989 youth in 2023, Stricker said. These include professionally supported large-scale productions in a 335-seat state-of-the-art proscenium theatre and many classes, camps and workshops, he said.

Since the opening of the new Parsons Theatre in the fall of 2021, participation numbers continue to grow exponentially, Stricker said.

Northglenn Youth Theatre is also celebrating its 30th season this year, said Terra Mueller, marketing coordinator for the city of Northglenn. “It’s incredible to reflect on the fact that we’ve brought over 100 shows to the stage since it began in 1994,” Mueller said via email.

The theater’s most recent production is Dreamwork’s “Madagascar JR – A Musical A scene from Northglenn Youth Theatre’s May 2023 production Adventure.”

ADUS FROM PAGE 1

They’re often rented out or used for visiting family members and have long been seen as a way to boost Colorado’s housing stock and drive down the cost of living. Homeowners also rent them out to tourists as short-term vacation rentals.

Research by Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored housing corporation, has found that ADUs are far more affordable than apartments and standalone housing units, but local prohibitions have limited their proliferation in all but a handful of places across the country.

In Denver, for instance, a residential lot must be a certain size or in a certain area to be zoned for an ADU to be legally built. Getting a variance can be difficult.

Bill sponsors told The Colorado Sun they view ADUs as a small piece of

solving Colorado’s housing crunch, one that can appeal to senior citizens and workers alike.

“People are struggling to live where they work,” said Sen. Kyle Mullica, DThornton. “This is an opportunity to try to solve that and put more affordable units on the market.”

Rep. Judy Amabile, D-Boulder, said that before she joined the legislature, she built a shower and a kitchenette in a room above her garage for her son, who suffers from mental illness and needed a separate living space.

The city cracked down on the illegal unit, and her son was left homeless for months, she said, spending the night in shelters and occasionally in a sleeping bag on her porch.

“That shouldn’t be happening,” Amabile said. “It’s about your own personal property rights.”

The rules in House Bill 1152 would only apply to communities covered by a metropolitan planning organization, including Denver and much of the Front Range, as well as Grand

Junction. Cities with fewer than 1,000 people would be exempt, as would unincorporated communities with fewer than 10,000 residents.

Mountain resort communities would also be exempt, said House Speaker Julie McCluskie, a nod to concerns that homeowners there will promote them as short-term vacation rentals rather than provide housing to Coloradans.

The measure would also create two new programs to promote the construction of ADUs. One would provide grants to local governments that could be used to waive permitting fees for ADUs. Another would provide lowinterest financing to low- to moderateincome homeowners who want to build accessory units on their properties. To qualify, homeowners would have to rent their units at an affordable rate.

Local governments are skeptical of the measure — a sign that months of negotiations leading up to the session have not resulted in broad support for Polis’ housing plans.

Kevin Bommer, who leads the Colorado Municipal League, which represents cities and towns across Colorado, called the bill “a good start.” But he worries that it “undermines local decision-making.”

“The state should absolutely be in the business of incentives,” he told The Sun, “but this legislation, as introduced, also crosses a well-established line of unconstitutional preemption of home rule land use authority.”

Bommer said that applies to a number of housing bills introduced at the Capitol this year.

Amabile acknowledged the complaint. But she suggested local officials aren’t united on the matter.

“I’ve gotten two kinds of feedback – one is, we don’t want the state telling us what to do,” Amabile said. “The other feedback is please get this done because we know our community members want it, but we have these loud, very vocal groups that are shutting down any progress.”

The Democratic majority at the Capitol is also expected to bring legislation that would require cities to allow denser residential zoning around bus and train stops, as well as a measure that would limit residential parking requirements.

“Transit-oriented and connected communities can create a better future for our state and drive our prosperity and our enjoyment with less traffic, more housing people can actually afford, better air quality,” Polis said in his State of the State address this month.

The legislature is already debating a

few other major housing measures.

One is House Bill 1007, which would prohibit local governments from limiting the number of unrelated people who can live together, except for health and safety reasons, like fire code and water quality regulations. The legislation passed out of the House Transportation, Housing and Local Government Committee by an 8-3, party-line vote in late January. It now heads to the full House for more debate.

Senate Bill 2, which passed unanimously recently out of the Senate Local Government and Housing Committee, would give local governments more leeway to create property tax rebate programs aimed at boosting affordable housing.

Awaiting its first hearing is House Bill 1098, which would prohibit landlords from evicting tenants before their lease is up unless they have legal cause to do so, such as situations when a property is unlawfully occupied, rent goes unpaid or a tenant otherwise violates their lease. Landlords could still evict a tenant if they plan to take the home off the rental market.

A similar measure failed last year.

The measure has some high-profile support: McCluskie and House Majority Leader Monica Duran, a Wheat Ridge Democrat who is a lead sponsor of the bill.

Nevertheless, Senate President Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat, cast doubt Tuesday on whether House Bill 1098 would make it across the finish line in 2024, given doubts about the measure in his chamber and how Polis has been a vocal skeptic of the idea. The governor worries it would actually drive up housing costs.

“I don’t know that the political landscape has changed since last year,” he told reporters. “I don’t think Jared Polis has changed since last year. I think the question is: Can people come together and figure out the path forward on these various bills that pleases the folks who are advocating the bills and also is done in a way that has 18, 33 and one.”

It takes 18 votes for a bill to pass the Senate and 33 votes for a measure to pass the House. The governor then must approve any bill before it becomes law — hence the one.

“I think it’ll be a tight vote, one way or the other — win or lose by a vote or two,” Fenberg said.

The legislative session runs through May 8.

Talking partnerships, schools and parking Brighton, Commerce City meet with 27J district

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With increasing student enrollment and work on a fourth high school in the future, Brighton-based School District 27J wanted a chance to chat with city officials from Brighton and Commerce City.

“It’s about partnerships”, Brighton Councilor and 27J Board President Tom Green said.

District officials gave an update

about plans to build a new high school in Commerce City’s Reunion neighborhood and efforts to ease parking problems around Brighton High School at the joint meeting on Jan. 30 at the school district’s Brighton offices.

But the bulk of the meeting centered around partnerships and the cities and school districts working together.

“We really find these beneficial,” Green told the group of about 20 school and municipal officials. “The dialog that we get to have and the updates we get about what you guys are doing, we find these priceless.”

perintendent and a newly-elected Brighton City Councilor, noted that 27J’s student enrollment continues to grow, with 23,108 students for the 2023-24 school year —about 421 students more than the previous year.

The 27J school district currently operates three high schools: Brighton High School in Brighton, Prairie View High School in Henderson and Riverdale Ridge in Thornton.

Now the district is preparing to begin work on the fourth school, in Commerce City’s Reunion area.

District Operations Officer Terry Lucero said the district expects the school will cost $130 million to construct, with plans to open in Aug. 2027. It would be built near Landmark Drive and Reunion Parkway, north of 96th Avenue.

“We’ve had this site in mind since 2002, so we’re happy to finally get this thing going along,” Lucero said.

He said the district is working with the Commerce City Council and staff to narrow down the location and decide how the school will fit on the site. Currently, the work now involves settling on a site with Commerce City and deciding how that land will be used.

“The first step for us is to agree on that property line and a new survey and a legal description,” Lucero said. “And then we expect that land will be dedicated to us by Commerce City. In the meantime, we are just going to keep moving with this plan.”

Education Commission

Councilor Susan Nobel, Commerce City’s mayor pro tem, said the Commerce City councilors are considering reinvigorating a city education commission that would allow City officials and representatives from 27J and from Commerce City-based district Adams County 14 to meet and discuss important issues.

“We started the education commission when there was a bond measure that needed passing and we needed a support team,” Noble said. “It did come to pass, but we’ve continued to assign councilmembers to the commission even though it really hasn’t been meeting.”

Commerce City Councilor Charles Dukes, who sits on the education

commission, said it good tool to help the city’s youth.

“When I process this concept of an education commission, it gives us the ability to sit down and grapple with some big challenges in a proactive way,” Dukes said. “We can bring in business, we can bring in private partners and we can bring in higher education providers to work on opportunities there.”

Fiedler said it was good idea.

“It’s really hard to say no to more cooperation and partnerships,” Fiedler said.

Brighton parking

27J’s Lucero also updated the district’s efforts to relieve parking around Brighton High School, working with the city to build a new 300-space student parking lot on the former Friendship Park lot, a former student smoking area.

“It’s immediately south of Brighton High School and all on Brighton High School property,” Lucero said. “The story of it is, back in the day when kids were smoking, they couldn’t smoke on school grounds.

So we reached an agreement with the city where the city would have this park and we leased it to give the kids a place to smoke — probably not the best idea in today’s world.”

It’s currently used as a drainage collection pond and was a former landfill site. Lucero said his staff learned it’s not suitable for building.

“The other thing they asked us to do was to do some sort of dust control and find some way to top it and seal it without further excavation,” Lucero said. “And it was about the same time the parking conversation came up and it became a really good opportunity to talk about sealing any contaminants there below the surface and to provide something that is much needed in the community.”

Brighton councilors have been talking about renewing a ban on students parking in the neighborhood around the schools. Brighton Mayor Greg Mills said the city could begin a new parking permit program next summer, pending the potential high school lot.

“We are hoping to come up with a solution that is satisfying to both sides of that parking issue,” Mills said.

FEMA Releases “Disaster Mind” Game

An educational game designed to teach high school-aged youth about decision-making during disasters is now available online at FEMA.gov.

Disaster Mind was developed by FEMA Region 8 in coordination with iThrive Games and can be accessed on any computer-based web browser.

Disaster Mind challenges and encourages participants to make critical decisions in the face of three simulated disaster scenarios: a flood, wildfire, and blizzard. Players receive information and tools to help them navigate the journey and lead others to safety.

Complicating their quest, a mysterious guide weaves twists and turns along the way.

“Disaster Mind is a new and fun way for FEMA to empower students with preparedness information as they transition from high school into the next stage of their lives,” said FEMA Region 8 Administrator, Nancy Dragani. “The game provides a safe environment for players to develop their decision-making skills and practice taking quick action to help others.”

The game can be used by educators and emergency managers as an educational tool to supplement existing disaster readiness or preparedness training. Disaster Mind is Section 508 compliant and does not require players to register or provide any personally identifiable information.

Work Options FREE Culinary Training Program

The Adams County Human Services Department is partnering with local nonprofit Work Options to provide residents with a free culinary training program.

Program participants train with professional chefs over a six-week course and earn certifications and up to $400 per month. Work Options also offers food truck internships.

In addition to the training program, Work Options provides the Human Services Center 11860 Pecos St., Westminster, with a full menu of breakfast and lunch options, including breakfast burritos, pastries, burgers, pizza, daily specials, and more in the Mountain View Café. The café is located on the third floor of HSC. Learn more about the program at workoptions.org.

BY BRIAN EASON THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado state budget writers are in a race against the clock to spend $1.5 billion in leftover federal pandemic aid before the end of 2024 thanks to new guidance from the U.S. Treasury Department.

The deadline is two full years sooner than state lawmakers and Polis administration officials had expected.

That has set off a mad scramble to rewrite the budget for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, to allow the state to spend federal American Rescue Plan Act dollars faster than lawmakers intended.

The time crunch arose from shifting guidance from federal officials on how they define “obligated,” a term that doesn’t exist in state law.

Federal law has long required ARPA recipients to “obligate” all of their funding by the end of 2024, but the final spending deadline is not until the end of 2026. That led state officials to assume they could spend their $3.8 billion allocation through 2025 and 2026, as long as they had passed legislation committing to do so by this year.

“The state had been operating under the understanding that it would have some ability to define that term itself,” Amanda Bickel, a Joint Budget Committee staff analyst, told lawmakers in a hearing this week. “Now that is absolutely not the case. Legislative staff and the executive staff all agree that what we need to do is expend this money as fast as possible.”

Under the new federal guidance, the state is generally prohibited from spending ARPA money beyond the 2024 deadline, with limited exceptions.

That’s left the Polis administration and lawmakers looking to swap out the funding sources for at least 36 programs in order to get the money out the door before the federal government requires Colorado to give it back.

Here’s how the funding swap would work: State agencies would spend the pandemic aid money as soon as possible on qualifying government services, a broad category that includes employee salaries. Doing so will free up state tax dollars that can be spent at any time. That money would be re-

directed to the programs the state had planned to use the ARPA money for in future years, such as behavioral health care, teacher stipends and wildfire prevention projects.

But the clock’s ticking. The JBC on Wednesday directed its staff to present the funding swap plan by mid-February. It would then need the full legislature’s approval. Meanwhile, the JBC must submit its 2024-25 budget proposal to the legislature by mid-March.

The fear of losing the federal money has been a constant theme on the budget committee in recent months.

Colorado budget writers this fall asked every state department for a detailed accounting of how they were spending ARPA dollars and how much they had left.

“We knew that there was a self-destruct time on those funds,” said Sen. Jeff Bridges, D-Greenwood Village, who serves on the JBC. But no one was sure what the 2024 “obligation” deadline actually meant.

Colorado’s not alone in facing a time crunch. As of June 2023, states had only spent about half the money the federal government provided, according to the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington, D.C., think tank.

The stakes are high. Lawmakers don’t want to risk losing federal money — the leftover dollars represent 40% of the state’s entire ARPA allocation. So if the new spending plan doesn’t work as intended, there could be pressure to call a special session later this year.

“The more thoughtful the General Assembly can be in tackling this issue in a bill, the less likely a special session will be required in fall 2024 to fix ARPA-related problems,” Bickel wrote in a briefing document.

Bridges told The Colorado Sun he doesn’t think it will come to that. Other states have already done similar funding swaps of their own to work around the deadline, he said, indicating that Colorado’s plan should pass federal muster.

“It is a well-trodden path,” Bridges said.

Colorado Sun staff writer Jesse Paul contributed to this report.

VOICES Colorado’s high school graduation rate up, a bit

R

ecently, the Colorado Department of Education released high school graduation rates across the state.

Statewide, the graduation rate CROSS inched up from CURRENTS 82.3% to 83.1%. A total of 56,812 students graduated in four years this past school year, which were 528 more students than the year before.

When compared to the same fourBill Christopher year cycle in 202122, 65% of school districts showed improvement or stayed the same. Also, graduation rates for students who finished high school in five and seven years were improved. Another metric which CDE releases each year is the dropout rate of students who leave public schools.

Overall, the statewide dropout rate decreased to 2.1% of total students which is a modest 0.1% improvement. The 2022-23 school year reflected a total statewide dropout of 9,665 students which was better than the year before by 859 fewer dropouts.

So, statewide the 2022-23 school year produced slightly better graduation rates and lower dropouts.

As Martha Steward would say, “That’s a good thing.”

Looking at local school districts’ rates

So, we have statewide data to compare to our local school districts. Be sure to compare each local district to the statewide averages to get a realistic picture as well as among the local school districts.

Starting with Adams 12 District, the graduation rate for the last school year was 84.8% which was 2% better than the year before.

Adams 14 District reported a 68.8% which is second from the bottom in the north area school districts. We know this district has a troubled past and is still struggling.

Next is Adams 27J District with a score of 88.1% which is down 2.8% from 2021-2022.

Mapleton School District’s graduation rate was 68.5%, which was the lowest district analyzed.

Last but not least was Westminster Public Schools (WPS) at a 69.7% graduation which was the third lowest. District administrators like to breakdown Westminster High School (85.7%) from their other secondary school, Hidden Lake (33.9%), but all of the other districts show their statistics by total student enrollment. So, for a fair comparison, WPS should be viewed at 69.7%.

Another metric which CDE collects and reports is the dropout rate. For these same school districts, Adams 14 District had the highest dropout rate at 5.6% and Adams 27J District had the lowest rate at 1.3%.

Others were Jefferson County District at 1.5%, Adams 12 District at 2.3% and Westminster Public Schools at 3.5%. However, since WPS likes to separate Hidden Lake (15.6%) from Westminster High School (1.9%), I wanted to be consistent with the graduation data.

What’s causing a 15% dropout rate at Hidden Lake and what corrective actions are underway?

Broomfield to offer down-payment plan for first-time homebuyers

The Broomfield City Council is considering a planned down-payment loan program targeted for first-time homebuyers. The city would tap $1 million from their housing development fund to finance the program.

To be eligible, prospective homebuyers must make less than 100% of Broomfield’s area median income which currently is $124,100 for a family of four. The income figure is calculated each year by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). If the plan is approved, the city would offer 30-year deferred loans at 2% annual interest. The down-payment amount would be capped at 6% of the price paid of the home or

$50,000.

City officials said they wanted to provide assistance for middle-income earners to achieve long-term homeownership. The loans would be required to be paid back to provide sustainability to their housing development fund.

This plan has merit as too often the entire focus of housing assistance is on the 30%-60% of area median income families which of course have a harder time qualifying to purchase a home. Assuming a maximum loan of $50,000, the funds would assist approximately 20 homebuyers. You can quickly see how housing programs are expensive and burn through the money quickly.

Let’s get going!

The connectivity of vacant office space and less restaurant customers/ retail shoppers further generates major concern for other lenders as well. It presents a major problem for Denver City government leaders and downtown business leaders.

Furthermore, it is not just a Denver problem; it is a national problem. According to the Financial Stability Oversight Council’s latest report, there are approximately $6.0 trillion in commercial real estate loans in the U.S. Research firm Trepp projects more than $2.2 trillion of that debt will come due between now and the end of 2027.

That is very concerning if loan defaults ramp up which in turn could in part trigger a national recession.

Downtown Denver office vacancies draw concern

Continuing trend of employees working from home

As most of us know, downtown Denver is in a downward spiral which does not benefit anyone.

You might think the largest factor in this economic “horror story” is the mismanaged 16th Street Mall construction project. Or you could say, the increased crime and homeless problems are the main factors.

Actually, from an economic standpoint, it is the vacant office buildings and the domino impact it has on less workers being downtown to frequent restaurants and downtown retail shops. According to real estate firm CBRE, the total office vacancy rate for the fourth quarter of last year is 31.5%. Furthermore, this firm points out that it is the highest vacancy rate for downtown Denver office buildings since the 1990s.

Other firms that track office vacancies peg the vacancy rate on either side of 30%.

With such amounts of vacant office space at play, it brings up the concern and problem of reduced rental income to office building owners. Special workouts by office lenders are in the mix and defaults could potentially happen. Needless to say, this bodes badly for the future.

The COVID pandemic brought us the idea of employees working from home which at the time sounded like a good and necessary idea. The practice became comfortable and convenient for workers for a variety of reasons.

Now with COVID being far less of a concern, employers want their employees back in the office. In many cases, the “hybrid plan” evolved with 2-3 days in the office and 1-2 days working from home or some other similar plan.

According to data compiled by Kastle Systems - which tracks office occupancy nationwide - approximately 60% of pre-pandemic occupancy levels for most of 2023 were experienced.

Experts do not expect an acrossthe-board return to the five-day office routine any time soon. The dilemma is if employers push hard to have employees return five days a week to the office, they risk losing employees. The practice of working the “hybrid” shift seems to have evolved into a “right” which does not bode well in employer/employee relationships. It’s a problem which needs solving.

Forest Service seeking comments on old-growth logging restrictions

BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVIC

The timber industry is pushing back against the Biden administration’s proposal to limit commercial logging in the nation’s last oldgrowth forests.

The move announced last month would put restrictions on harvesting within a small fraction of lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service.

Josh Hicks, conservation director for The Wilderness Society, sees the proposal as an important step to conserve the remaining 8% of oldgrowth forests so they can do what they do best: store carbon and stabilize ecosystems.

“After centuries of logging, and now more recently climate-driven impacts from severe wildfire and drought, there’s not a lot of old growth left in the country or in Colorado,” Hicks pointed out. “It’s just a fraction of what it used to be.”

Forests absorb carbon pollution directly from the air, and are seen as an important tool for mitigating climate change. But industry groups worry the proposal will prompt lawsuits aiming to block logging projects, including those seen as necessary to reduce the scale of wildfires.

Some environmental groups say protections should be extended to mature forests currently managed for timber production.

Hicks acknowledged the new

Why should we care?

The economic health of every core city in a metropolitan area is fundamentally important to the well-being of the entire metro region. The suburbs should care about Denver and its viability. The core city’s reputation and financial health will to some degree spill over on the suburban areas. Companies looking at relocating certainly would consider Denver’s “health” when consider-

proposal, which is open to public comment through Feb. 2, will need industry to help clear out heavy fuel loads which can lead to bigger and more powerful wildfires. But he noted economics will no longer be the driving factor in some forest management decisions. Managers would prioritize ecological concerns involving old growth conservation.

“The younger trees that come out of the forest to reduce the fuel loads, the companies that pick up these contracts can still find economic value for this,” Hicks contended.

“This is not to remove industry, and in fact I feel like industry is part of the solution here.”

Old-growth forests are home to an abundance of diverse plant and animal species, and Hicks argued keeping the ecosystems intact can help preserve biodiversity as the fallout from climate change takes hold.

He added the new policy would not only conserve the last stands of old growth, it will also foster the creation of more old-growth forests for future generations.

“We are facing an extinction crisis,” Hicks stressed. “Given that these old-growth forests are more resilient to these climate stressors, they will become increasingly important for the survival of many species. “ This story comes via The Associated Press’ Storyshare, of which Colorado Community Media is a member.

ing investing millions of dollars in a facility in Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster or Thornton.

The Metro Mayors Caucus should address the problem if they have not already. The Denver Chamber of Commerce should reach out to its suburban counterparts to explore ways to assist. It is not strictly a “Denver problem.”

How local tattoo shops are shifting the culture in the Denver-area tattoo scene

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

rmed with steady hands and lamps strapped to their craniums, many female, non-binary and queer tattoo artists utilize their passion, personalities and perseverance to bring art to life, all the while shifting the culture of the Denver-area tattoo scene.

‘If you build it, they will come’

Owner of the Wolf Den Custom Tattoo Studio Ryane Rose said they built their shop, located at 6640 E Colfax Ave. in Denver, about seven years ago.

“It kind of came about by working at shop after shop that just kind of created an environment that didn’t feel as welcoming by default,” Rose said.

Rose said the culture was “masculine-driven” which isn’t a bad thing, but can leave “little room for other people to be expressive or exist.”

“So I think that’s where the toxic part of the culture came in. It was more suffocating than inviting,” Rose said.

They said they kept trying to find a studio that would support a welcoming and accepting mentality but couldn’t.

Thus the Wolf Den was born. The 37-year-old thought it would be difficult to find a complete staff of queer, non-binary or female tattoo artists. However, “if you build it they will come right,” Rose said.

“This entire seven years my inbox has been flooded with women and non-binary humans that have constantly reached out to work here with the same exact story,” Rose said.

The wolf pack

One woman was artist Meghan Donohue, who works with Rose as their apprentice.

Originally from Massachusetts, Donohue moved to Denver about a year and a half ago to

become a tattoo artist. She said she found the Wolf Den online.

Donohue’s favorite aspect of the Den is the experience it provides both artists and clients.

“It’s a place where we all really can emphasize our own strengths,” Donohue said. “The artists that work here all share a common strength of people skills which is something a lot of tattoo artists lack in the industry.”

The 25-year-old said she is still determining her style as a tattoo artist but she is versatile in that she does illustrative, realistic and fine line pieces.

Rose describes their style as a wide range because they love creating watercolor, fine line, geometric and abstract pieces. They also love the one-to-one connection with their clients.

“You get to take this concept that represents something that they value and then you get to give it a heartbeat collectively,” Rose said.

“We all genuinely care about each other and that’s a hard one in shops too because the culture really does drive in ‘You need to care for yourself,”’ Rose said. “If another artist takes art from you they’re taking food from you essentially.”

The name for their tattoo shop was inspired by an animal where females are the alphas and the group acts as a family.

“I wanted a wolf pack,” Rose said. “I wanted people who took care of each other. We’re all stronger together and we can all eat together.”

Macy Zerbe, 26, became a member of the pack in June 2023 and they said they love the “chill vibe” at the Den. “I feel everybody is pretty about community and making a welcoming space that tattoo shops don’t always have,” Zerbe said.

Rose runs their business with their wife Jess Rose, who handles the day-to-day operation of the shop and elevates the business.

“When you’re in love and that person is your partner and your soul mate they’re going to enrich your life in every single aspect,” Rose said. “So the Den is no exception. She brings a perspective from a stylistic point of view.”

Jess is a leather artist and along with her own business, she said her role in the pack is the “lady behind the scenes making things happen.”

“When I met Ryane, I saw their vision and I knew where they wanted to take it,” Jess said. “I definitely feel like I am always here to see those visions through.”

Jess said there are various ways the Wolf Den is shifting the industry from its representation to its atmosphere and products.

“Already (Ryane was) changing the industry by creating a space where there was an owner that was far different than a heterosexual white male owning a shop,” Jess said.

Mele Lucero is another member and tattoo artist in the pack and she said she loves making “weird trippy” pieces.

Lucero said the Den is unique in that she is supported as a female tattoo artist by her peers and mentors.

“They just want you to grow,” Lucero said. “I felt like with my old (shop) it was like a debt to be owed to them and then coming to the Wolf Den they just continue to push me and grow my style and (to) just be me.”

Jess said the Den provides eco-friendly products which isn’t common in other shops. Ryane said the shop is 90% plastic-free, but there’s a goal to up that another 5%.

Going forward, Rose said they hope to both maintain the stability of the Den and continue to grow its presence.

Meghan Donohue, a 25-year-old apprentice at the Wolf Den Custom Tattoo Shop works on her latest creation.

Bird’s Nest

Striving to also provide a different atmosphere for their clients and fellow creators is tattoo artist Lora Bird.

Bird created the Nest Art Collective, located at 7460 W 38th Ave. in Wheat Ridge, which is a space for queer, femme, nonbinary or neurodivergent artists and clients alike.

“I would describe it as a haven for people who need a little bit more accommodation during their appointment,” Bird said.

“We do our best to make sure everybody has the right lighting, the right sound level, the right privacy to feel as comfortable as possible during a pretty uncomfortable procedure.”

SHIFTING CULTURE FROM PAGE 17

Bird was searching for a space that would support them as an artist and accommodate their needs as a neurodivergent person.

“The shop that I learned in was a very open space, which there is nothing wrong with that and some people thrive in that environment, but with me having ADHD and newly diagnosed autism, it ended up being a little bit harder for me to focus on the art and my client,” Bird said.

The tattoo artist of six years said the chaos of the shop was overwhelming.

“I wanted to work in a space where I was able to control the environment a little more and after searching around through some studios and keeping my eyes peeled for someplace I wanted to work I realized that doesn’t really exist,” Bird said.

Therefore, Bird built the Nest from the ground up.

Bird was inspired to model their shop after a “salon suite” which they worked in for about a year. Bird

explained a salon suite is a rented amount of space with pods of individual businesses such as a hair salon, a nail salon and makeup artist.

The Nest opened its doors in 2021 and Bird said at the moment, the shop is full of artists who all have their own space.

Additionally, Bird said while artists technically work for them, the artists are in charge of their own booking, scheduling, pricing and setting up their rooms.

“They are all individual business owners and they really do find and work with people that want to work with them which is just such a wonderful thing in tattooing,” Bird said.

“They curate the space to be comfortable for them and by proxy it’s comfortable for their clients.”

Izzy Bump, creator of large colorful botanical tattoos, said she enjoys being in control of her own business and ethical choices.

The artist said the best aspect of the Nest is that it’s a supportive space where the artists care about their work, each other and clients.

“We all have more than enough clients to go around and because we’re not competing with each other and because we all do care about each other and our community there’s a lot

of helping each other and lifting each other up,” Bump said.

Bird describes their art style as illustrative woodcut which is similar to “old medieval etchings.”

Bird said they feel like they’re flipping the “traditional idea of tattooing” with the Nest and shifting the industry from sole artist control to client-friendly.

Tattoo artist and 29-year-old Mikayla Riley said there are so many aspects that she loves about the Nest, the biggest being the sense of community.

“I think it’s very unique in that tattooing, like so many industries, is traditionally so male-dominated and

lots of people have not been welcomed in this industry in the past, and here we’re so far in the opposite direction,” Riley said. “Anyone is welcome here to get a tattoo.”

Bird said all 13 people in the Nest “gel well” together regardless of their different personalities and styles.

“The overarching take here is in my mind this newer generation of tattoo artists is just more kind,” Bird said.

Going forward, Bird hopes to “ride out this thing” they built and just see what happens next.

“It really is currently my life’s work and I would rather just maybe not push for more and just enjoy what I have,” Bird said.

A slice of ’War and Peace’ comes to the Arvada Center

L

eo Tolstoy’s 1869 novel “War and Peace” is one of those towering cultural touchstones that almost everyone has heard of, even if they haven’t fully engaged with it. In the case of something this complex, there are ways to break it apart and make it more manageable.

A perfect example is “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812,” which is making its regional premiere at the Arvada Center. The show’s simplified approach involves focusing on just one portion of the novel. And adding the occasional sprinkling of club music.

“The show is an about 70-page chunk of the novel, set to what the composer would call electropop music, played by a band of actor instrumentalists,” said David Otto, who plays the role of Andrey in the production.

“There are these rich, historical characters engaged in very intense human pursuits, and you have the interesting layers of very contemporary music played by the actors.”

“Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812,” runs at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., from Friday, Feb. 16 through Sunday, March 31. Perfor-

mances are at 7:30 because it makes things a little easier will be an opening reception from 10 COMING p.m. Wednesday to consume. The audiences can really a.m. to noon on Sunday, Feb. 11.

ATTRACTIONS through Saturday, 1 understand what’s going on with the All the details can be found at

p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The show will be staged in the round at the center’s Black Box Theatre.

Directed by Lynne Collins, the Clarke Reader production focuses on Natasha (Bella Hathorne), a young woman missing her fiancé, Andrey. So, she decides to go to Moscow with the hopes of gaining the approval of his family. Meanwhile, Pierre (Brett Ambler), one of Russia’s richest men and Natasha’s friend, is struggling with what to do with his life. All this is fully sung to music that blends Russian folk and classical with indie rock and EDM. “The music we’re including covers so many different genres and it all fits the characters,” said Anna Maria High, who plays Marya D, Natasha’s godmother. “The music helps the actors with the characters they’re portraying

characters.”

The music direction is led by David Nehls and for performers like Otto, who have to create their characters while playing live music, the show presents a thoroughly unique challenge.

“It’s always such an amazing and fulfilling thing to be an actor and musician in the same show because you’re interacting with the audience in two different ways,” he said. “It’s just a spectacularly fun layering of artistic elements.”

Audiences should prepare for a lot to be happening on stage, but that doesn’t mean the show doesn’t slow down for moments of genuine introspection and human connection. The result is the kind of theatrical experience you don’t get to have very often.

“Audiences will see something in Denver they’ve never seen before,” High said. “I might seem a little intimidating, but it is so worth the experience. Just hold on tight and go for the ride.”

He’s played with artists as varied as funk group Vulfpeck, jazz figures like Dave Koz and legendary groups like the Dave Matthews Band. His solo style varies from album to album — sometimes it is funkier, sometimes it leans more into jazz, but it’s always groovy and brimming with skill.

Wong will be joining with modern jazz singer Monica Martin for a special performance at the Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10. They’ll be joined by instrumental trio LA LOM for the evening.

Free preschool: what parents need to know a change to ensure that children in poverty get access to full-day tuitionfree preschool.

Here’s what families need to know about the preschool program and the online application.

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Colorado families can start applying for the state’s free preschool program for the 2024-25 school year in late February.

The $322 million program, which launched in August, is open to all 4-year-olds and some 3-year-olds.

More than 39,000 4-year-olds are currently enrolled in the program — about 62% of that age group in the state. About 10,000 3-year-olds are also enrolled.

After a chaotic and confusing application rollout last spring and summer, state officials made several changes to this year’s process. The goal is to make it easier for families already connected to a preschool to stay with that program for universal preschool. The state also is making

Who gets free preschool and how much do they get?

Two groups of children qualify: All 4-year-olds and some 3-year-olds who need extra help.

The preschool program is primarily designed for children in the year before they go to kindergarten — children who turn 4 before the state’s Oct. 1 cutoff date. Most 4-year-olds will get 15 hours of preschool a week, though some preschool providers offer only 10 hour-a-week schedules.

Starting this year, 4-year-olds from families with incomes at or below 100% of the federal poverty level —

up to $31,200 for a family of four — will qualify for 30 hours of tuitionfree preschool a week.

In addition, 4-year-olds in families with income between 100% and 270% of the federal poverty level — $31,200 to $84,240 for a family of four — who also fall into at least one of the categories below qualify for 30 hours a week: Speak a language other than English at home; have a special education plan, also known as an IEP; homeless; in foster care.

Remember, not every preschool offers a 30-hour a week schedule — or if they do, has open seats available.

That means qualifying for 30 hours of free preschool through the state isn’t a guarantee that a child will get it.

Compared to 4-year-olds, only a small number of 3-year-olds — children two years away from kindergarten — qualify for tuition-free preschool. This year, about one-third of 3-year-olds in universal preschool are children with disabilities and the rest are from low-income families or have other risk factors.

Only 3-year-olds who have special education plans are guaranteed free preschool. The number of hours depends on what’s spelled out in their special education plan. If there’s enough funding, 3-year-olds with one of the other risk factors listed above may get at least 10 hours of free preschool a week. If you’re not sure whether your 3-year-old will qualify, fill out the state application just in case.

What about 5-year-olds who aren’t in kindergarten yet?

A small number of 5-year-olds are eligible for free preschool in the year before they attend kindergarten. Specifically: Those living in school districts with kindergarten cut-off dates earlier than the state’s Oct. 1 cut-off whose birthdays fall between the two cut-off dates. For example, a child in a district where children must turn 5

by July 30 to attend kindergarten, will qualify for free preschool if they turn 5 in August or September.

Five-year-olds who could go to kindergarten but have been held out by their families — a practice often called redshirting — aren’t eligible for free preschool in that year.

When can I fill out the universal preschool application?

This year’s application will open in

late February, about a month later than last year.

Starting then, certain families will get to preregister, specifically those who want to send their child to the preschool where the child is currently enrolled, where a sibling is enrolled, or where the parent is employed. These families will get an email from the state that links to a universal preschool application preloaded with their current preschool.

Once the family accepts the placement, the match will be confirmed immediately.

To ensure you get a preregistration link, talk to your current preschool or child care provider about your plans to stay with the program for universal preschool. The provider will then let the state know about all continuing families.

Families not eligible to preregister can still fill out the universal preschool application starting in late February, but they won’t be matched to a preschool until April. Families who apply after that will get their preschool matches in June.

Starting in late June, walk-ins will be allowed. That means families can apply for universal preschool by calling or visiting a local preschool directly. If that preschool is participating in the state program and has space, staff there will help families apply and secure a spot.

What do I need to fill out the application? Are there income requirements?

If you qualify for preregistration, you’ll receive a link from the state with a prepopulated application.

If not, you’ll create your online application using an email address or phone number. Most families will need about 15 minutes to fill it out.

The application is offered in English, Spanish, and Arabic.

Families with incomes at or below 270% of the federal poverty line will need to upload proof of income, such as pay stubs or tax forms, when they apply for universal preschool.

My child has a disability. What’s the application process?

Families will get a link from the state with a preloaded universal preschool application if their child will be 3 or 4 next school year, has a special education plan — also known SEE PRESCHOOL, P23

as an IEP — and are already getting services for their disability through their local school district.

If the family of a child with a special education plan is not currently connected to their local district — perhaps they recently moved — they can fill out the universal preschool application when it opens.

Once they indicate on the application that their child has an IEP, the district will reach out to them about next steps. Most preschoolers with IEPs will be placed in classrooms run by their school districts.

Parents who are worried their preschooler may be delayed in speech, learning, or development but don’t have a diagnosis or IEP, should contact Child Find, a state program that screens children suspected of having a disability. Check this list for

Child Find coordinators by region.

Can I pick my 4-year-old’s preschool?

Yes. Families who don’t qualify for preregistration or want a program other than the one their child currently attends will be asked to pick up to five preschools and will be able to rank their choices. Options include school-based preschools, faith-based preschools, preschool programs inside child care centers, and state-licensed home-based programs.

Search and map functions are available within the universal preschool application to narrow down the choices. There are some cases where preschool providers can turn down a universal preschool applicant. For example, a school-based preschool might turn away a child who lives outside district boundaries or an employer-based preschool that mainly provides care to children of company employees may decline a child of a non-employee.

Can I pick my 3-year-old’s preschool?

will send you a preregistration link to a universal preschool application preloaded with your preschool choice in late February.

If you have no current affiliation with a district-run preschool, the state will send you a link to the general universal preschool application using your contact information from the school choice form. Fill out the application and choose your top five preschools and you’ll find out your child’s preschool match in April.

My district’s school choice application is due before the universal preschool application opens. What should I do?

What if I need more hours than what my preschooler is eligible for?

Possibly, but you won’t have as many choices as 4-year-olds do. It all depends on your school district since districts are in charge of placing 3-year-old preschoolers. Some districts primarily serve 3-year-olds in district-run classrooms while others work with community child care programs to serve 3-year-olds.

When you fill out the universal preschool application, you’ll select your school district and then work with them on preschool placement.

Families who want to send their child to a district-run preschool run may have to fill out two applications.

First up is the district’s school choice form. Next, fill out the universal preschool application when it opens.

If your child or a sibling already attends your favored district-run preschool, or you work there, the state

You can still pay for extra hours above and beyond what the state covers for free, as long as the preschool offers more hours. You can also see if you qualify for financial help through other means, such as the state’s child care subsidy program or a local tuition assistance program. Here’s a rundown of the options.

Restoring local history a sign of the times paint job,” said Larry Polzin.

“When we actually saw the truck, we were brought back to reality, as this wasn’t a ‘classic showboat’ but a work horse that had been driven hard and probably had some amazing tales attached to it,” he said.

Restoring the truck meant removing the doors and taking them to the garage workshop, matching the specific hue of the antique red and imitating the original font’s drop-shadow lettering.

“This font was not in our vast library, so we had to rely on the tiniest hints of its existence still left on the door and replicate it based on what remained,” said Jess Polzin of restoring the truck.

The family focuses on antique sign restoration, pictorial murals — such as the animals on the Denver Purina factories — as well as fiber art and commercial commissions. They hand paint all their pieces, and utilize other skills that are becoming more rare such as embellishments using real gold leaf.

A longtime sign maker and artist, Polzin launched the business with his two daughters in 2007 in honor of his son, John, who passed away that year.

“He was enigmatic, and had an incredible passion for life,” Jess Polzin said of her brother.

Through their work focusing on the handcrafting of signs, rather than

“Booger Red,” Lakewood’s antique fire truck needed a make-over before going on public view as part of the permanent exhibit at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park’s 20th century museum.

The wording on the side of the truck’s red doors had faded and needed to be restored according to the time period and font style of the 1930s, when it was first commissioned.

Prior to Lakewood being incorporated as a City (in 1969) Lakewood’s first fire station was originally located on West Colfax Avenue near Wadsworth and was built in 1938. Booger Red was the first firetruck purchased from local business support and an annual Fireman’s Ball.

From their home garage in the suburbs, the Polzin family–father Larry and daughters Jess and Sarah– who produce and restore iconic, vintage signs from around Colorado, stepped in. Their business, Stargazer Creations, is one of the few to use handdrawn painting methods that were most recently put to use restoring the truck’s antique fire doors.

“When we first talked with the City of Lakewood about their firetruck I envisioned a turn of the century beauty with pinstripes and gold leaf and ‘fadoozles’ all over its shiny red

through mass-production, the Polzins hope to bring art into the every day.

“It’s got the imperfections of the artist in it. Art doesn’t have to be perfect,” said Jess Polzin.

“I think people really like to see things that remind them of a human connection. That’s the most important thing,” she said.

As for Booger–so called because it was “a ‘booger’ to drive,” according

to Betsy Bowers, who commissioned the truck’s restoration for Lakewood– it will make special appearances at Heritage Lakewood Belmar, and will next be on display at the Annual Rockin’ Block party in June.

Visitors can also request to see the truck be viewed as requested at the museum’s private tours.

Shot clock shot down decision-making meeting of the year CHSAA turns down shot clock ond takes place.

The council voted down the shot clock implementation despite recent twice, once for all classifications and once for varsity-only contests. momentum; proposal may stock photo of a shot clock. The Colorado High School Activities Association’s return in April board of directors officially recommendBY STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The Colorado High School Activities Association’s legislative council voted down the use of a 35-second shot clock in high school basketball during a meeting on Jan. 30.

The vote was 43-28.

The result comes as somewhat of a surprise after CHSAA’s board of directors officially recommended the use of a 35-second shot clock in November, effective in the 2026-2027 school year.

In a post on CHSAA’s website, officials said the issue was going to return to the state’s basketball committee “and possibly come forward with new proposals in April,” the time when the council’s sec-

ed the use of a 35-second shot clock, effective in the 2026-2027 school year.

Surveys of member schools showed urban schools were in favor of the shot clock, largely because colleges use a shot clock and because it will eliminate stalling tactics.

Rural schools in general were against the idea, largely because of financial considerations to install the necessary equipment and to train people how to run it.

The National Federation of High Schools adopted the use of the shot clock three years ago, according to its web page.

Among the newest state associations to approve the use of a shot clock are Connecticut, Idaho, Minnesota, North Carolina and Oregon. Twenty-seven states currently use a high school shot clock.

The Colorado High School Activities Association’s board of directors officially recommended the use of a 35-second shot clock, effective in the 2026-2027 school year in November. But in a Jan. 30 vote, the organization voted against official implementation of a shot clock 43-28

Fort Lupton’s Balcazar makes college commitment

BY STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Fort Lupton’s Rylee Balcazar spun the proverbial college choice wheel this winter, and it came up Chadron (Neb.) State.

“I visited three schools, Simpson College in Iowa, Mesa State University in Grand Junction, and Chadron in Nebraska twice,” she said. “I had other opportunities; however, these three schools caught my interest.”

The two semifinalists were Mesa State and Chadron.

“I felt more welcome at Chadron.

I was able to wrestle with the teams during my visits,” she said. “The coaches at Chadron were more relatable, and I felt like I was part of the team and not just a number.”

In 2021, Balcazar placed third in the state girls tournament in down-

town Denver. Last year, she placed fourth. She also placed eighth in the U.S. Marine Corps Nationals in Fargo, N.D., over the summer.

“I always wanted to leave Colorado so I don’t live with the regret of not moving on from home,” she said. “But when the time got closer I got more nervous and stood with a happy medium where it’s still close to home but far at the same time.”

Before college begins, there is the matter of finishing her last highschool season. The state girls tournament starts Thursday, Feb. 15, at Ball Arena in Denver. The finals are Saturday, Feb. 17.

“I am honestly scared to grow up, nervous to move on and excited to make more memories,” she said. “I want to study exercise science to, some day, be a physical therapist or athletic trainer for a pro sports team.”

Colorado deadlier for pedestrians and cyclists

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

The number of pedestrians killed on Colorado streets reached an alltime high last year, painting a grim picture of traffic safety, a year after the state recorded the largest number of road deaths in more than four decades.

While traffic deaths saw a slight dip last year, the picture isn’t getting any brighter for those traveling by foot or bike.

Data from the Colorado Department of Transportation shows the number of cyclist deaths jumped by 33% last year to 20, up from 15 in 2022, and the number of pedestrians killed on Colorado’s streets reached a new high.

Colorado saw a significant uptick in pedestrian deaths in 2020 when 93 people were killed while walking along or across the state’s streets compared with 76 in 2019, and the number has continued to rise. Last year, at least 131 pedestrians were killed — an overwhelming majority of them at night.

“A lot of people die just moving from point A to point B,” said Pete Piccolo, executive director of the advocacy group Bicycle Colorado. “And it seems as though unless you’re impacted by traffic violence, it’s almost normalized.”

“The fact that 12,982 people died in Colorado (since 2002) going to school, going to work, going to the grocery store, it is really an unbelievable thing that we cannot figure out how to move around our communities without killing each other,” Piccolo said.

Preliminary data shows that last year, 712 people were killed on Colorado’s roads, including 20 cyclists, 134 motorcyclists and scooter riders and more than 300 drivers. In 2022, 764 people were killed in traffic crashes.

The causes aren’t easy to identify and there are several theories to explain how driver and pedestrian behaviors, road design and vehicle size all fit together.

While rising pedestrian deaths match a nationwide trend, it isn’t one that has occurred in other countries of comparable wealth, where pedestrian and cyclist deaths have generally been declining, not rising.

The number of pedestrians killed by

drivers in the U.S. has been climbing for more than a decade and in 2022, they reached a 40-year high when more than 7,500 pedestrians were killed.

The Colorado Sun parsed last year’s data on traffic deaths and spoke to experts about the numbers.

Here’s what we found: More than 2 in 3 pedestrians were killed last year between sunset and sunrise.

In Colorado last year, 67% of pedestrians died while walking across or along the road in the dark, data from CDOT shows.

The data shows that of the people who died at night, 65 were in areas with streetlights and 16 were in areas that had no lights at all.

“A lot of times you’ll have street lights, but not necessarily a really visible crosswalk,” said Annelies Van Vonno, CDOT’s bicycle and pedestrian planning coordinator.

Since crash data from 2023 is still being evaluated, final data could vary. Officials expect the year’s total number of traffic crashes to represent a 5% decrease from 2022, a spokesman said.

The pedestrians who were killed included three people age 10 and younger and eight people between the ages of 11 and 20.

More than three-quarters of the pedestrians killed were male and all but one of the cyclists killed on Colorado’s roads were male, preliminary data shows. “(Men) are overwhelmingly represented as both victims and offenders in traffic crashes,” said Sam Cole, CDOT’s safety communications manager. “They tend to be young.

And what do we know about young men? They tend to be risk-takers.”

Research also shows that more men tend to bike compared to women and men could have the tendency to walk more often at night compared to women, Van Vonno said.

Cycling deaths are on the rise After three consecutive years without an increase in cyclist deaths, the number of people killed while riding a bike in Colorado jumped to 20 last year.

Among the bicyclists killed in 2023 were 13-year-old Liam Stewart, who was struck by a car while riding his bike to his middle school in Littleton, and 17-year-old Magnus White, who was training for the upcoming

world championships in Scotland when he was struck near Boulder by a driver who fell asleep and drifted from her lane.

Colorado’s growing population could be contributing to the rise in traffic deaths with more people on foot, bike, electric scooters and vehicles sharing the road, said Piccolo, with Bicycle Colorado.

Five times the number of cyclists died in 2023 compared with 2003, when three cyclists were killed. The state’s population has also soared in the past two decades with census data swelling to 5.8 million in 2023 from 4.5 million in 2003.

“We’ve got a lot more cars, a lot more people on bikes, a lot more people on foot and one-wheeled scooters, within this essentially the same built environment,” Piccolo said.

Generally, data shows that more deaths happen in urban areas, with more cars and bikes on the roads and more people walking or biking to public transportation, and a higher number of commuters are killed compared to recreational riders, Piccolo said.

But in the end, the deaths don’t discriminate.

“It is everyone,” Piccolo said of the demographics. “At the end of the day, it is young and old. It is rural and urban, it is a commuter and recreational rider. It has impacted everyone now.”

Lawmakers this year are considering two bills intended to make Colorado’s roads safer for cyclists.

It’s currently illegal in Colorado to text and drive. But Senate Bill 65, also known as the “hands-free bill,” would ban all cellphone use while driving, unless drivers are using a hands-free device. Current law only prohibits drivers under the age of 18 from using a cellphone while driving.

Senate Bill 36 would provide transportation funding for bike lanes, pedestrian walkways and crosswalk lighting, among other safety improvements, by imposing a small fee for each driver during registration in Colorado’s 12 most populous counties —calculated based on a vehicle’s weight.

Senate Bill 65 has been introduced in prior years and failed to pass, Piccolo said.

“This is one public health crisis where we know what the solutions are,” he said. “So the challenge isn’t figuring out what to do, the challenge is finding the will to implement them.”

The highest number of pedestrian deaths happened in urban, more populated areas Denver saw the highest number of pedestrian fatalities with 24, followed by 15 in Adams County, and 14 in El Paso County, data shows.

Urban arterial roads are overwhelmingly the most dangerous for pedestrians because of the high speed of cars and the extended exposure for pedestrians before reaching the other side, Van Vonno said.

“When you have to cross six or eight lanes of traffic, it just takes a longer time,” she said.

Arterial roads are designed similarly to highways, but with more cross streets, and often have a limited number of crosswalks.

“If it’s gonna take you a quartermile, half a mile to walk to the nearest crosswalk, you might just take your chances in traffic and try to dash across the road,” Van Vonno said.

While it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what causes each crash, distracted driving is a growing concern, Colorado State Patrol Master Trooper Gary Cutler said.

Gig workers are employees, Denver auditor says

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

More than 3,000 temporary workers serving food or cleaning hotel rooms are employees, not gig workers, and should be treated as such, the Denver Auditor said in a decision that seeks more than $1 million in penalties against two staffing agencies.

Instawork and Gigpro, which specialize in hourly workers for the restaurant and hospitality industries, call the workers “independent contractors,” but the jobs that the companies fill run counter to that term and fall under what the state law defines as employees.

The companies also were accused of numerous unpaid wage and overtime violations, and failing to provide sick leave.

“You can’t be a dishwasher in a restaurant and be an independent contractor,” Denver Auditor Timothy O’Brien said. “That defies logic.”

Both companies provide mobile apps for the temp workers to apply

for openings. The business clients pay Gigpro or Instawork directly, not the worker. And both companies take an extra fee as payment.

Neither company withholds taxes or pays for unemployment insurance for the worker — that’s left to the individual worker.

But like permanent employees, temps go through a vetting process, confirm shifts a day in advance, meet requirements like dress codes, go through something akin to performance reviews and can be terminated based on the company’s discretion. An independent contractor, on the other hand, has a contractual agreement that “prevents consequence-free termination because ending such an agreement early and without cause gives rise to damages.”

“Instawork does not operate as a passive online marketplace where clients merely post shifts and receive responses from — potentially — the entire body of users. Instead, the employer takes direct action to ensure compatibility for its business

clients by ‘automatically’ and ‘intelligently’ (matching) businesses with our vetted pool … of workers,’” the auditor’s order said.

San Francisco-based Instawork received the brunt of the fines — more than $820,000, most of which came from 13,195 violations of failing to provide sick leave. They also must pay another $275,516 in restitution to nearly 3,000 workers.

Gigpro faces about $50,000 in fines and restitution to about 90 workers. The companies were ordered to cease and desist from misclassifying workers and have 30 days to comply.

In an email, Kira Caban, Instawork’s head of strategic communications, said, “Instawork is coordinating with the City of Denver to address an incomplete and nonfinal administrative determination issued by Denver Labor. While the company does not comment on active investigations, Instawork prioritizes compliance with applicable regulations and is committed to ensuring every person who uses our

platform to find local work receives full and proper worker protections including payment at hourly rates that meet or exceed the minimum wage.”

In Colorado, staffing agencies are employers that supply the temporary placements to a second employer and that is how a company like Instawork operates, O’Brien said. Clients pay Instawork for the employment service and if they want to hire the temp worker permanently, they must pay a “direct hire fee” to Instawork. The auditor’s office did not share which hotels or restaurants had worked with the staffing agencies because it’s considered confidential.

A new wage-theft ordinance was passed last year in Denver giving the auditor’s office the ability to proactively conduct investigations.

“We don’t have to have a complaint to go forward,” O’Brien said. “We know that in the hospitality industry, workers are subject to abuse, for lack of a better term, from employers.”

CYCLISTS FROM PAGE 27

A recent report from The Schiller Kessler Group, a Florida-based law group, which used data from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, shows that Colorado has the highest number of pedestrian deaths occurring at intersections in the country.

Of the 433 pedestrian deaths recorded in Colorado between 2017 and 2021, 138 were at intersections, accounting for nearly 32% of pedestrian deaths, data shows.

Nationwide, pedestrian deaths occur at intersections 17% of the time, according to NHTSA data.

Last year, Colorado State Patrol recorded 36 pedestrians or bikers who were struck, but not necessarily killed. Twenty-five of those crashes were a result of a driver failing to yield to a pedestrian at a crosswalk and three collisions happened at a crosswalk where there were flashing lights, Cutler said.

Three bikers were hit when a driver failed to yield to a cyclist in a bike lane.

“I believe we’re just getting as a society that we’re trying to push the limits of what we should be doing on the roadways and trying to get there faster and quicker and it’s not safe to do that,” Cutler said.

Smartphones and the distractions they offer both drivers and pedestrians could be playing a huge factor in traffic fatalities, especially in the U.S. where the ubiquity of automatic transmissions frees up a driver’s hands for other uses.

A CDOT survey in 2022 found that more than half of drivers in Colorado use their phone while driving.

The New York Times reported that Americans spend nearly three times as much time interacting with their phones while driving compared to drivers in Britain, according to data collected by Cambridge Mobile Telematics, a company that tracks dangerous driving. The data showed that distracted driving in the U.S. — detected when phones are tapped or in motion in vehicles traveling faster than 9 mph — typically peaks in the evening hours, the Times reported.

Experts say bigger cars on the road could also play a factor, though car sales haven’t dramatically changed in the last few years.

“As cars have gotten bigger, lon-

ger, taller, heavier, they’re hitting pedestrians and bicyclists with more force,” Van Vonno said. “The heavier a car is, the longer it takes to stop that car. Brakes are slower when you have a heavier vehicle and you have a lot of vehicles nowadays that have a very tall hood and instead of hitting a person at the leg or knee level, it’s hitting people in the chest.”

In 2023, the most registered car in Colorado was a Ford F-150, followed by the Chevrolet Silverado, two massive trucks with high front ends, according to data from the Division of Motor Vehicles.

The best-selling car nationwide in 1990 was a Honda Accord, a much smaller sedan.

“At the end of the day, when a car and a bike come into conflict, it’s the pedestrian who’s going to lose,” she said. “A person in a car might be safe, but you might kill somebody and I don’t think anyone wants to be responsible for that.”

226 people were killed in an impairment-related crash Impairment-related crashes were down last year compared with 2022, but still 226 people lost their lives.

“There’s not a soul in the U.S. that doesn’t know if you get behind the wheel (while impaired) that you could end up killing somebody. So getting behind the wheel, knowing that information, is selfish, it’s careless and reckless,” Cutler said.

A variety of factors could contribute to the dip in traffic fatalities in 2023, Cutler said, including increased technology in newer cars that reminds drivers to fasten their seatbelts.

Enforcement is also up, with a team of state troopers stationed in parts of the state to target impaired driving and various campaigns to warn against dangerous driving behaviors, including aggressive driving, he said.

For safer roads, drivers need to stop thinking about pedestrians and cyclists as an afterthought, Cole with CDOT said.

“We need a wholesale shift in the way drivers think about safety and sharing the road,” Cole said. “Too many people drive without a consideration to the increasing number of roadway users out there.”
