City Council talks trash during meeting

By Marcus Hill “I’m ready to talk trash today,” said Hannah Van Nimwegen, Manitou Springs planning director, upon taking her seat before City Council.

The literal statement during City Council’s work session on Tuesday, July 12, sparked a 90-minute discussion between Van Nimwegen and councilors.

As of July 13, businesses with overflowing trash bins and excessive waste near their area will be fined $250 daily until they meet the code.

Van Nimwegen spoke about a litter and waste control ordinance and long-term waste control. The proposal included clarifying language in city code regarding handling and disposing of waste and litter.

Van Nimwegen said that, for multiple summers, “there seems to be an increase in trash and trash-related complaints.”

“Just driving around town you can see some of these issues of overflowing trash,” Van Nimwegen said. “There are issues of illegal dumping where somebody has seen a dumpster that appears to be unmanned and dropped off a bag of trash or a couch or something along those lines.

“Our current approach is that we would give

Drinking water is safe; violations have been resolved Courtesy of the city of Manitou Springs Earlier this week, we mailed a Tier 2 public notification regarding our drinking water system to all of the addresses in our utilities mailing list. We would like to provide further explanation into what this notification was for, and what we have done to resolve the issues.

But firstly, and most importantly, please note that your water is safe to drink.

As a municipality that supplies drinking water, we have many requirements and regulations that we must meet, as required by the Colorado Department of Public

Health and Environment. The public notification was mailed to you because we had two violations in our most recent report sent to CDPHE, and the state requires that we send out these notices to our water customers.

The first regulation that resulted in a violation is that the city of Manitou Springs must test at least 80 percent of its cross-connection control devices on an annual basis. We tested only 78 percent, therefore creating this violation.

We have already resolved the issue and tested 95 percent

COUNCIL/from page 1 a verbal or written warning saying if we come across an overflowing trash can or a couch that’s been left on the street, we say ‘that’s against city code, next time we’re going to fine you.’ If we go back to that address, we do issue a fine.”

Mayor Pro Tem John Shada mentioned that he and council realize not all businesses are committing violations. He added that the current code isn’t harsh enough since illegal dumping continues.

“The problems we have around town, in terms of overflowing trash bins, containers that are not put away … this is in our current code (and) it doesn’t seem like we’re enforcing it,” Shada said. “I’m stunned with what’s going on in the Arcade area. It’s day after day after day that there’s trash in the creek … this is totally upside-down for me.”

Van Nimwegen said she wanted City Council’s input on issuing continuous fines for each day a business violates the trash ordinance. The hope is that would help reduce violations and encourage businesses to clean up their waste.

“If that was a practice we were going to do, which I’m willing to do … we can issue a daily fine or amend the ordinance to do a progressive fine, a steeper initial fine, whichever was more acceptable.”

Councilor Julie Wolfe suggested a $250 per day fine for violators and proceeded to go on a self-described “tirade” regarding trash violations.

City Briefs Slow the Flow program will evaluate sprinkler systems

The city of Manitou Springs has partnered with Resource Central to offer free Slow the Flow sprinkler audits.

During the 75-minute evaluations, trained professionals will inspect your system. They will identify problem areas as well as perform tests to help you create the most efficient schedule for your yard.

The audits show that 99 percent of the sprinkler systems evaluated are inefficient. That not only leads to a higher water bill, but also wastes Manitou’s most precious resource: water.

This program is intended for residential properties only.

Register at resourcecentral.org/slowtheflow.

Eight spaces are available 6 a.m.-6 p.m. for reservations at Hiawatha Gardens, 10 Old Man’s Trail. Reservations can be made a few minutes

Reservations can be canceled up to six hours before the selected time for a full refund.

Make reservations at parking.honkmobile. com/hourly/zones/78000.

Heat, drought lead to Level 1 water restrictions

Manitou Springs is experiencing low levels of precipitation as well as high levels of heat.

The best solution is a community-wide approach toward decreasing the amount of water used.

Manitou moved to Level 1 water restrictions on Friday, June 17. It is extremely important that all residents follow these restrictions to help conserve our most precious resource.

They are: • Even-numbered properties can water Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays; • Odd-numbered properties can water Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays; and • Maximum of two hours per day, 5-8 a.m. or 7-10 p.m.

Violators are subject to a minimum fine of $100, per Municipal Code 13.28.030.

Sales tax revenues show upswing after worst of COVID-19

By Rhonda Van Pelt The city’s finance department has released revenue statistics for February, March and April. Vendors report and remit tax collections in the month after the close of reporting period and the city receives them the month after that.

Tax collections include “quarterly reporting” and “annual reporting” vendors and payment of previous period delinquencies, causing some distortion of monthly sales.

February’s taxable sales were 24.1 percent higher than the same month in 2021, with a total of $9,841,148 compared to $7,927,516. The “other in city” category, which includes marijuana outlets taxed at 11.4 percent, had taxable sales of $2,417,802 for the month.

The second regulation that resulted in a violation was that, in 2021, we reported six private commercial locations within the city’s water system that did not have backflow-prevention devices. These locations were not resolved by our deadline, therefore creating our second violation.

You have our commitment that we will be working with these private locations to resolve the backflow issues within the next 120 days.

As your one and only option for water, the quality of your drinking water and our water system are high-priority concerns, and we take these violations with extreme seriousness.

Just recently, we have welcomed two experts in the field to our water treatment plant, and brought together a great team of consultants and specialists to ensure that Manitou Springs’ drinking water will be the best it can be for years to come.

The Peanut

Pusher

Colorado Springs resident Bob Salem is looking to make history by being the first person in the 21st century to push a peanut up Pikes Peak with a contraption taped to his nose. He began this legendary journey at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 9.

The city of Manitou Springs has launched a webpage, www.manitouspringsgov.com/735/Peanut-Pusher-Progress, to help track his journey to the top. It will be updated at least once a day to show where Salem is on Barr Trail.

Letter to the Editor Officials collaborate to help residents in crisis

To the editor: Thank you to City Administrator Denise Howell and the Manitou Springs Finance Department for their efforts in signing an agreement with the state Low-Income Energy Assistance Office to become a qualified water vendor. This enables residents with overdue water bills to obtain financial assistance through the Low-Income Household Water and Wastewater Assistance Program (LIHWAP).

Previously, Manitou residents were unable to access state assistance if they fell behind on their water bill. The policy has been if your bill falls behind, you receive a $10 late charge and one shut-off notice stating the full balance must be paid by 5 p.m. on the next due date or your water will be shut off.

Unfortunately, the city’s website doesn’t offer solutions to prevent water shutoff. In fact, when a family member recently called to inquire about assistance, the utility clerk was adamant that they cannot accept partial payments. The lack of transparency and access to readily available

information lacked the human element we’ve come to expect here. We were disheartened to hear about it.

Once we combed through the city’s ordinance on the subject, we found that payment plans can be made but must be done directly through the city administrator. How many people in crisis will think to read an ordinance and then be comfortable contacting our top city official?

When we brought this to the attention of Rebecca Davis and Nicole Ortega from Manitou’s Finance Department, we also put them in contact with Theresa Kullen, LEAP manager for Colorado and they took it from there!

Although we’re unsure why Manitou hadn’t partnered with LEAP in the past, we’re grateful to live in a place where citizens can work alongside government officials to improve our community.

Water assistance is once per season for income qualified residents with an overdue water bill Nov. 1 through April 30. Apply through LEAP (cdhs. colorado.gov/leap) and include a water addendum and copy of your past-due water bill.

Guest Editorial

Celebrate city’s past by committing to better future The grandparents of my OPINION grandparents were around 150 years ago. The grandchildren of my grandchildren will be around in 150 years.

What was it like in 1872?

What will it be like in 2172?

Today is just our moment in history.

I would like to suggest we Shanti Toll, are at a difficult historical time of community transition as we adapt to a advocate planetary balance that is a bit overwhelmed by our species.

Today’s future is filled with world and local problems caused by past and current human behavior.

Locally, we can see the overcrowding on our own streets and parks. On a planetary level we can see natural resources being used up and habitats destroyed by the explosion of human population.

It certainly looks like our grandchildren will have a hard time dealing with the environmental and social problems we are leaving behind.

I am watching people (and sometimes myself) become fearful and lose trust in almost everything and everybody outside of their family/tribe. That feeling of scarcity, isolation and uncertainty makes it almost impossible to work together.

Instead, people focus on protecting what they have, without regard to the common good. But more importantly, they stop thinking and working to make the future better for their descendants.

Much of the music I listen to today focuses on

being happy in “this moment.” I believe in living happily in “this moment.” But for me to do that, I need to feel safe and that the future will be OK. I have to blend the feelings of distrusting instability with open-hearted embracing of the life in the moment. Perhaps some of you also are looking for that balance and connection, which will make life enjoyable, safe and dynamic.

My parents and ancestors believed (and taught me) that they were part of history. They were halfway between the past and the future. They believed that one of life’s purposes was to make the world better for their offspring and future generations.

They took responsibility to pass on the wisdom/successes of their elders to the next generation. They wanted to protect and pass on the nature they inherited to the next generation.

Which brings me back to the 150th birthday of the city of Manitou. This year can be the year we renew our commitment to our future generations. We can have the courage to envision a future of Manitou Springs that is more than today.

We are sowing the seeds of a dynamic, optimistic future for Manitou — a future we can only guess at.

What will it be like when big gas-guzzling cars no longer clog Manitou Avenue? What will it be like on the planet when Manitou Springs and thousands of other cities have become clean

energy-based and help reverse global warming?

We can act this year to rebuild a Carnegie Library that is bigger and better than what our forefathers left us. We don’t know how our grandchildren’s grandchildren will use the public space. But we do know our legacy will be to give more potential to be innovative and grow.

We can act this year to preserve and re-invent the historic Hiawatha Gardens as a large public meeting space for future generations to use as they want or may need to. Our legacy is to give future generations new potential, while passing along our town’s history.

Manitou’s 150th birthday celebration is an invitation to take a conscious rest stop on the road trip journey of history. We can take this moment to remember, hope and trust that the youth will do their part to keep Manitou and the world a good place to live, work and play.

In the meantime, let’s relax and rejoice in what our ancestors left us in this town.

Let’s create connections to our neighbors and make living here pretty cool.

The Day of Friendship community potluck on Monday, Aug. 1, will be nurturing to body and soul and community. It can create an inter-connection with each other that builds acceptance, success and understanding. See you there.

For more information: bit.ly/Manitou150.

Our legacy is to give future generations new potential.

Mile High Youth Corps seeks environmental stewards Applications are open for Mile High Youth Corps’ Land Conservation Fall Trail or Forestry Program.

MHYC is searching for positive, hardworking people aged 18 to 24 to spend 10-13 weeks this fall serving on environmental stewardship projects throughout Colorado.

During their season, crews will complete more than 30 conservation projects spanning 23 counties and make profound impacts on the community, the environment and themselves.

Youth participants, called corpsmembers, are assigned to a crew that works on conservation-focused projects on public lands. These include construction and maintenance of recreational and safety access trails, habitat restoration, fire fuel mitigation, historical preservation and park development projects.

Corpsmembers earn a bi-weekly

stipend and are enrolled in AmeriCorps, earning a scholarship to be used to advance their learning after the program. They also receive up to four free mental health counseling sessions.

Participants can network with federal, state and local natural resource professionals and receive industry-recognized certifications.

They will receive training in skills including chainsaw operation, trail building and maintenance, and pesticide application. No experience is necessary.

Project partners scheduled for fall include: Manitou Springs; Green Mountain Falls; Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument; Cheyenne Mountain State Park; and Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services.

Hiawatha Gardens draft plan presented at community meeting Courtesy of the city of Manitou Springs A total of 29 people attended the July 11 Hiawatha Gardens community meeting; seven of those attended virtually. The meeting began with BVH Architecture and the Hiawatha Gardens Task Force making a presentation, which included discussing previous community response trends and unveiling the Draft Preferred Plan.

After the presenters answered questions about the plan, the meeting transitioned into a community discussion for attendees to ask these questions: • What do you particularly like about the Draft Preferred Plan? Why? • Is there any element of the plan that you have serious concerns about. If so, why?

• Given financial constraints, it’s likely that the Hiawatha Gardens Plan will have to be implemented in phases. If that is the case, what element in the plan would you like to see accomplished in the first phase (such as mobility elements, restrooms, plaza, parking lot improvements, city parking office, dance hall historic rehabilitation)? Why is this your priority?

The Draft Preferred Plan will be presented to City Council within the next few months, and the July 11 community responses will be posted on the city’s website, manitouspringsgov.com, before that presentation.

Plan will help keep pets safe in emergencies Pet Food Express, a leading retailer and trusted partner in pet health, has released a pet-focused disaster preparedness plan to equip pet owners with guidelines for keeping their pets safe in an emergency.

From wildfires to earthquakes, the Pet Food Express disaster preparedness plan at www.petfood.express/emergency-prep includes critical safety information organized into easy-to-implement sections.

Thinking ahead, making arrangements and sharing the plan are also critical to the success of real-time emergency response.

Pet Food Express’ preparedness plan focuses on four impactful ways to protect pets in emergencies: • Pet Identification: During an emergency, pets and their

humans can easily become separated, which is why identification is vital. Microchips, pet identification on collars, rescue alert stickers and cloud-based pet images can be instrumental in locating animals afterward.

• Pre-Arranged Boarding: Determine an animal rescue center, a trusted family member or friend who can board your pet ahead of an impending disaster.

• Evacuation Plan: Create a safety plan that includes emergency contact information, meet-up locations and responsibilities for household members.

• Emergency Go-Pack: Pet owners should assemble an accessible Go-Pack to include a pet first aid kit, pet food and water, pet leash, medications and more.

Details are available at www. petfood.express/emergency-prep.

By Jack Elder

City Finance Director Mike Leslie reported to City Council at Tuesday’s work session that there was approximately $32,000 available for implementing changes in the zoning code and related public processes for 2005.

The recommendations submitted by consultant HB&A were itemized and came with the cost of each item included. HB&A will be contracted to perform the work of revising the code and establishing revised processes so the recommendations also served as a de facto bid on each item even though the firm’s involvement to date eliminates the requirement for a new bidding process.

The 12 items on the HB&A list total nearly $91,000.

HB&A also indicated several, mostly procedural changes, that can contribute to a more efficient and less contentious process that can be implemented in-house at no cost.

Operating within the $32,000 available this year, council identified the creation of approval criteria for each zoning category, including downtown, projected to cost $20,000; revising and updating the public process, projected to cost $9,100; reevaluating the setback requirements in the general residential zone, which consumes as much as one-third of planning staff’s time, projected to cost $5,000 and adopting and implementing the National Fire Prevention Association’s standard 299 at a projected cost of $3,600.

The NFPA standard would provide clear-cut guidelines, especially for construction on upslopes, where none exist now and thereby eliminate considerable negotiation,

E D I TO R

reports, hearings and general misunderstanding and arguments.

Representatives of HB&A, City Council and members of city staff will now meet to finalize costs.

At press time, it was not anticipated that further formalize action would be necessary to start the zoning and planning revision process as outlined Tuesday.

Council nears administrator choice Following Monday’s open house with finalists for the City Administrator position and a closed executive session Tuesday to review the candidates and the interview process that took place Monday, City Council appears to be embarking on final discussions with one or more candidates. Details from council executive sessions are, by law, not made public The four finalists are Elizabeth Black, District Manager for the Copper Mountain Consolidated Metropolitan District in Colorado; David Blanchard, City Manager of Blackhawk, Colo., from 2000 to 2003; Catherine Green, Director of Planning for the City of Pueblo from 1992 to 2004; and, Rick Sonnenburg, Town Manager of Monument.

Bentley Henderson, Assistant Town Manager of Carbondale, Colo., withdrew from the process Friday The candidates were interviewed Monday by a panel of Colorado city managers and by City Council. The four then met with members of the public and with members of city staff.

No public timetable has been set for the final hiring.

Construction update Manitou Springs project

Due to an issue with equipment availability, the paving and milling construction scheduled for Duncan, Michigan and Mesa avenues will be postponed one week. Therefore, the new roadways will be constructed starting Monday, July 25, with work tentatively ending on July 29.

During this construction period, no parking on the roadway will be allowed; residents should park in valid parking spaces on the side streets not being paved.

To minimize impacts, the work will be phased as follows: July 25 and July 26 — milling and paving on Duncan July 26 and July 27 — milling and paving on Michigan July 27 through July 29 — milling and paving on Mesa Construction will take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. One-way through traffic and access to homes will be maintained as much as possible throughout the project, but periodic closures may be needed to complete the work.

Happy Cats Haven – Pet of the Week Hello, I’m AppleJax, or AJ for short! I’m a darling ginger boy with gentle green eyes and a cute pink nose. My tipped-ear badge of courage lets you know I was living outside until some kind Samaritans brought me in. They taught me to trust hoomans and now I’m a snuggle bunny! I’ll do best in a quiet, calm home without kids and absolutely no dogs. I’m very active so a home with another feline-friendly cat who loves to play would be great! I’m about a year and a half old and you can adopt me for $80. which includes my neuter, vaccinations, microchip, food and litter starter kit and a free well-kitty checkup to help you get started.

Happy Cats Haven: 719-362-4600, 327 Manitou Ave. Adoptions by appointment only until further notice. www.HappyCatsHaven.org, www.Facebook.com/HappyCatsHaven.

Humane Society – Pet of the Week Hi there, I’m Lovely and I got my name because I can be a real sweetheart.

I’m a 2-year-old chocolate and white Pit Bull Terrier mix and I’m currently in a loving foster care home. You can’t meet me at HSPPR, but I am ready for my new family to take me home today. My foster mom says that I am very cuddly, housebroken and I know my name. I get along with cats but not all dogs, so I may do best as the only dog in your home. My adoption is only $25, and I come with a voucher for a veterinary exam, vaccinations, 30 days of pet health insurance and a microchip, and I am already spayed. Visit HSPPR.org for more information on adopting Lovely (1580106).
