City Council votes to ‘turn off spigot’ to URA

By Rhonda Van Pelt City Council members and Manitou Springs Urban Renewal Authority board members gathered Tuesday, Aug. 23, to clarify the future of the URA, an entity formed 16 years ago to improve Manitou Avenue properties between the U.S. Highway 24 overpass and the eastern city limit.

After nearly two hours of presentations and

discussion, City Council voted 4-3 to stop the flow of sales tax revenue to the URA from its area, an estimated $1.7 million annually.

Councilors said they need the funds to address the city’s many capital needs.

The action does not affect property tax revenue, a far smaller amount, also going to the URA. It also does not take away any funds

already in the URA’s account.

The evening’s first focus was plans for the La Fun motel property at 123 Manitou Ave. The city pulled the owner’s business license after it was troublesome, to say the least, for the Manitou Springs Police Department.

COUNCIL/from page 1 The URA board has spent approximately one year studying plans and proposals to demolish the derelict structure and replace it with something that would generate sales tax for the city.

As URA Executive Director Jim Rees explained, the developer first would have to mitigate an unknown amount of asbestos in the building before demolition can start, likely in April 2023.

Construction — of a mix of retail, restaurants or something else — could then take two years.

The URA board was poised to close a deal with a developer on Friday, Aug. 26. However, City Councilors expressed concerns that the developer doesn’t have detailed, firm plans for the site.

This is part of a larger concern that councilors have been grappling with: What happens to Manitou’s sales tax revenues if Colorado Springs voters approve recreational marijuana during the November election?

According to a document dated June 30, 2022, which council members saw, the URA has assets of $2,841,132. Those funds are intended to support development and improvements, such as bridges and public art, in the URA area.

Mayor John Graham summarized the La Fun purchase details as follows: • The developer would supply $1.1 million; • The URA would supply $1.55 million to help with the acquisition; and • The URA also would supply an additional $600,000.

Rees affirmed that interpretation was correct.

“I don’t see that the URA has much leverage on this project,” Graham said.

(Editor’s note: See Ralph Routon’s explanation of how URAs work on page 5.)

“The URA does not have any obligations regarding construction and the new facilities, so it’s probably a $5 million investment on the part of the developer,” Rees said.

Graham asked if the developer could delay building on the site, leaving it an empty lot for years.

“The developer is not interested in holding a vacant lot; they’re interested in getting it built. But they’re cautious and wary about market conditions,” said the URA’s attorney, David Neville.

Rees explained that he’s researched a couple of scenarios drawing from the developer’s proposal.

“With the full retail development, it could possibly generate up to $3 million over the rest of the URA lifetime (of nine more years) in sales tax and property tax,” Rees said, adding that the developer would have to attract tenants.

One option would be a grocery store, which could take up the entire 2.2-acre property, or 17,000 square feet of retail and 8,000 square feet of restaurant space, he said.

After more discussion about how the project’s URA’s meeting when it approved the deal, “I do finances would work over time, Neville said that, believe this is a sweetheart of a deal for the “The ultimate goal is to create a tax revenue-generdeveloper.” ating project.”

Slow the Flow 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.

Update on Urban Renewal Authority accomplishments, goals The Manitou Springs Urban OPINION Renewal Authority (URA) oversees an area generally located north of Highway 24 on both sides of Manitou Avenue from the east gateway arch to the U.S. Highway 24 interchange.

City Council created it in 2006 with goals of removing blight and encouraging development and redevelopment.

John Maynard By realizing these goals, the MSURA board city’s tax base will increase, member benefitting all residents. Although substantial work has been done along Manitou Avenue through the URA, more work needs to be done.

The URA has been working on several projects to increase pedestrian safety and connectivity. A study is underway to evaluate the Manitou Avenue/ Highway 24 interchange to make a safe pedestrian connection from where the Westside Avenue Action Plan work stopped, through the intersection, to facilitate a safe sidewalk connecting to Schryver Park.

It is anticipated that preliminary plans and a project estimate will be ready for the URA Board to include funding of improvements in its 2023 budget.

Another streetscape improvement is being considered for the south side of El Paso Boulevard along the School District 14 property.

Improvements could include a sidewalk to

Pikes Peak Bulletin 5

An ominous moment for Manitou’s Urban Renewal Authority If you ever need a textbook OPINION example of how small-town local government should NOT work, look no further than August 2022 right here in Manitou Springs.

Tuesday night at Memorial Hall, the Manitou Springs City Council put the final touch on this chaotic month, voting to Ralph Routon cut off sales tax funding to the Executive editor Manitou Springs Urban emeritus Renewal Authority.

The 4-3 decision, so clearly pre-orchestrated, did not have to happen so quickly and so vindictively. There was no immediate deadline looming, no reason to schedule a special meeting with nothing else on the agenda.

Just a few weeks ago, a group of determined councilors thought they would have to go through a November ballot issue to achieve their desired outcome. After learning differently, they changed their plan to a surgical strike and pulled it off in a combined council-URA meeting that started out as an executive session and then was made public, allowing for immediate action.

This is a difficult subject to tackle in print, because so many people know so little about the Urban Renewal Authority. Let’s try for a quick explanation.

In simple terms, a URA is created to focus on economic development and revitalization in a specific, often blighted, area of a city. URAs are funded by sales tax revenue within that area, as has been the case since 2006 for Manitou’s URA, located between the eastern gateway arch and the U.S. Highway 24 interchange.

Certainly, the URA hit the jackpot when recreational marijuana sales won approval in Manitou, with El Paso County’s only stores located within the URA’s boundaries. Suddenly, that tax

revenue became a bonanza, now bringing about $1.7 million a year to the URA. Anyone can see how that money has largely been spent, from the new Beckers Lane Bridge to helping fund the county-led project to improve Manitou Avenue/Colorado Avenue. Residents and visitors also have noticed and appreciated the holiday lights, public art and other enhancements.

But then some on City Council became frustrated — understandably so — because they faced such a hefty list of capital needs with insufficient funds (about $2.6 million currently) while the URA built a comparable amount in its own bank account.

The best solution seemed obvious: City Council and the URA board could work out a new agreement, giving a larger share of sales tax revenue to the city but still allowing the URA to pursue its mission.

Instead, four City Councilors wanted to take all URA sales tax funding. Until the city attorney recently advised otherwise, those councilors seemed hellbent on eliminating the URA altogether.

That didn’t happen, but council’s 4-3 vote did chop off the URA’s legs. And the timing couldn’t be worse, just as the URA is finalizing a deal — in the works for almost a year — with a developer to buy the dilapidated La Fun motel property and revitalize it for business purposes.

Fearing it might be abolished and existing funds taken away, the URA board hastily signed that agreement for the La Fun, with closing set for next week. If all goes well, it could lead to some kind of grocery (Natural Grocers or similar) and restaurants, all of which would provide fresh sources of tax revenue at a time when most marijuana taxes might be going away.

Now, though, the URA board won’t have more funds to help entice such businesses, which is why a middle-ground strategy would have made more sense.

Instead, some on City Council thought a better use of the La Fun property would be as a parking lot to benefit downtown, the Cog and the Manitou Incline. Nobody seemed to realize how many months such a lot would sit empty — unused, unproductive and unappealing.

Whereas retail businesses would operate year-round for the benefit of Manitou residents.

It was as if someone had enacted a moratorium on common sense judgment. As one URA board member said after the Tuesday vote, “It was like watching a train wreck and knowing there was absolutely nothing logical or reasonable that might sway them. It was stunning.”

Never mind that the URA board includes some of Manitou’s most influential, qualified people of the past generation, including two former mayors and the owner of a prominent local small business: Marcy Morrison, state Rep. Marc Snyder, Farley McDonough (Adam’s Mountain Café), Ann Nichols, Barb Winter, Debra Sagen, John Maynard, Alan Gregory and Alan Delwiche.

Should such a decision have waited until November, when Colorado Springs votes whether to legalize recreational marijuana sales? Yes. Should City Council have decided, now or in the upcoming 2023 budget process, to consider reworking its terms with the URA? Yes. Should the majority of councilors have given more thought to the ramifications of severely undercutting their own URA? Yes. Is there anything that Manitou Springs residents can do about it? Not now.

Those councilors seemed hell-bent on eliminating the URA altogether.

Talking history Reporting and photo by Larry Ferguson McCraw’s talk, sponsored by the Manitou Springs Heritage Center, centered on four female doctors who practiced in Colorado Springs during the late 1800s — Harriet Leonard, Julia Loomis, Clara Rowe and Esther Holmes.

“They paved the way for other women to come here and practice here, following their passion,” McCraw said. “They did what they could to ease the suffering of the people they were treating.”

McCraw’s book of the same title is available in e-book format. The print edition is due out this fall.

CORONAVIRUS

UPDATE

El Paso County has experienced 202,632 total cases, 8,321 hospitalizations and 1,773 deaths between March 1, 2020, and Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2022, according to the El Paso County Public Health Department.

In the two weeks leading up to Tuesday, we’ve seen 1,535 cases, 29 hospitalizations and one death.

The county’s coronavirus cases hit an all-time high on Jan. 14, 2022, with 2,789 cases; they have steadily declined since then, other than a surge to 350 cases on June 9 of this year.

El Paso County still ranks fourth among Colorado’s most populous counties, with 243 deaths per 100,000 people. Pueblo County leads all others, with 496 deaths per 100,000.

As of Aug. 20, 1,185,076 total doses of vaccine have been administered to county residents. That amounts to 499,707 people vaccinated (69.1 percent of eligible residents), 450,019 people fully vaccinated (62.3 percent) and 197,446 people boosted (27.3 percent).

In El Paso County, eligibility starts at 6 months of age.

Community comment sought on electric vehicle charging stations The Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments has developed a draft study to assess existing electric vehicle charging assets within its Metropolitan Planning Organization and Council of Governments boundaries and provide resources for local entities that may pursue EV charging projects in the future.

This effort is intended to assist those member jurisdictions or local entities that voluntarily decide to seek EV grants.

The draft document is available for public comment through Sept. 13, 2022, at www.ppacg. org/ppacg-transportation-electrification-study.

All comments received will be available on the PPACG website after the public comment period.

Staff and the PPACG Board of Directors will use the comments during the approval process.

Manitou Springs is one of the PPACG member municipalities and has several charging stations.

Be smart about bears — they’re hunting for food Bears are about to get very active in Colorado, prompting the state Parks and Wildlife Department to warn the public that bears are entering hyperphagia. That’s when they’ll spend about 20 hours per day searching for food, so they can consume up to 20,000 calories to prepare for hibernating this winter.

At this time, they’re likely to forage for human food, trash and fruit trees in urban areas.

Their instinct to eat can overcome any fear of humans.

The freezing temperatures in May reduced food sources in the mountains and, combined with the ongoing drought, the lack of food forces bears to lower elevations.

Black bears typically eat plants, insects and carcasses but, when threatened or desperate, they can still be aggressive toward humans.

They can sniff out potential food sources as much as five miles away. Barbeque grills, unsecured trash and pet food can lure them into cities. They have been able to open car doors when searching for food.

Manitou Springs has a strict policy about wildlife-resistant trash receptacles and their use.

Mustang golfers get first taste of tournament play Story and photo by Daniel Mohrmann The key to establishing the status of a player’s game on the golf course is going through a full round and evaluating where things went right and where things went wrong.

The Manitou Springs boys golfers got that chance on Aug. 22, when they played at the Sand Creek Invite at Valley Hi Golf Course.

Junior Jack Clifford put together the Mustangs’ best round, shooting a 14-over-par 86 to tie for 36th.

He had rough moments, for sure, playing his first five holes at eight over par, but was able to settle in and end his day on an encouraging note.

He made birdie on the par-five 17th and then consecutive pars on six and seven to close out his day (he started on No. 8).

“I’d say that’s a really good start,” Clifford said. “I did not think that I was going to break 90 today. My drives were really good. They went far and

straight. My chipping was OK.” The common theme for the Mustangs is that they need to tighten things up when it comes to their short

game. If they can clean up chipping and putting, the scores will start decreasing across the board. It’s not a problem specific to one particular

player, it’s something the team as a whole needs to work on.

“We need to put a lot of emphasis on chipping and putting and not just going down to the range and hitting balls,” coach Ken Vecchio said.

“We don’t have a lot of time this week, but after (playing in two more tournaments) we have a whole week before we play again so we can try and work on some of those shortcomings.”

Senior Kai Thomas shot 101, sophomore Landon Foster shot a 113 and sophomore Jameson Cunningham rounded out the Manitou effort with a 126.

The Mustangs finished 24th out of 27 teams, most of which were Class 5A and 4A programs. Manitou played in its first league tournament at Hollydot on Wednesday, Aug. 24, but results were not available at press time.

They head to Cherokee Ridge for the Marauder Invitational on Thursday, Aug. 25.

Volleyball team no match for Fowler’s offensive power

By Daniel Mohrmann The Manitou Springs volleyball is season is off to a rough start after Fowler swept the Mustangs in the season opener on Tuesday, Aug. 23.

Ayla Flett led the offensive attack with six kills, but there wasn’t enough offense overall to hang with the Grizzlies. The Mustangs lost 25-16, 25-17, 25-11.

Grace Allen led the Mustangs with 14 digs, Flett added 13 and Lily Glass added 11. The Mustangs will look to build on those numbers this week as they hope to prevent two straight losses to start the season.

They’re hosting Pueblo Central on Thursday, Aug. 25, then Pueblo East on Tuesday, Aug. 30, before hitting the road to face Lutheran on Sept. 1.

Traffic is being rerouted through the Serpentine Roundabout on the city’s west end.

Manitou Springs project

A construction crew is upgrading the Serpentine Roundabout so that it will meet current design standards and can accommodate a 10-footwide multi-use trail, to be installed soon.

Serpentine Drive remains closed to all traffic from U.S. Highway 24 to the roundabout.

Also, the roundabout has turned into a two-way road to allow access to Manitou Avenue for eastbound Highway 24 traffic. Flaggers will direct traffic 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on weekdays; during all other times, traffic control will be set up to allow two-way traffic.

The Serpentine Drive closure is expected to last until Friday, Sept.

9. During this time, the only way to access eastbound Highway 24 from the west end of Manitou Springs is from the Washington Bypass or from the Highway 24 on-ramp in the 200 block of Manitou Avenue.

Colorado Springs project

The Foothills Trail has reopened in Garden of the Gods, along with a new multi-use trail underpass beneath Gateway Road. The latest milestone in the 30th Street Corridor Project allows bikes and pedestrians to cross under the road without having to negotiate traffic.

Major underground utility work continues between Gateway Road and Fontanero Street. The contractor team is nearing completion on installing the storm sewer infrastructure and water pipeline planned within the current road closure area.

Crews will soon start excavating for the new retaining walls.

Grading work continues for the widened roadway and slopes.

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.

Search Facebook for: Pikes Peak Bulletin Newspaper 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,

Can you guess what the picture is?

Last week’s answer: Annie Schmitt and Doug Edmundson identified it as one of Brenda Biondo’s posters at the Old Man’s Trail bus stop.

Happy Cats Haven – Pet of the Week Hello! I’m Leesi! I’m a gorgeous calico girl with lovely yellow-green eyes. I’m a Hemo Hero; I used to donate blood for other kitties at a blood bank! I came to Happy Cats after I retired, and now I’m ready to find a loving home of my own.

I’m a gentle girl and really prefer human companionship over other pets. I don’t get along well with dogs, and young children are just too rambunctious. I may be OK with another mild-mannered cat, but dominant kitty personalities are too much for me. I’m about 8 years old, and through August you can adopt me for $30, which includes my spay, vaccinations, microchip, food and litter starter kit, a free well-kitty checkup and a dental procedure.

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, I’m Whiskey Barrel (1314918). I’m a 1-year-old girl looking for a new place to call home. HSPPR staffers call me a social girl since I won’t let you walk by my kennel without meowing for your attention or trying to grab you to say “hello.” I love being petted and scratched behind the ears. I get so excited when I see people that I can’t stop moving, rubbing your legs and purring to show how happy I am. I may do best as the only cat in your home. My adoption is $100, and I come with a voucher for a veterinary exam, vaccinations, 30 days of pet health insurance and a microchip, and I will be spayed. Just ask for Whiskey Barrel (1597735).
