Loveland improvement plan advances

WWW.CLEARCREEKCOURANT.COM

Runners enjoy a cool trek through Silver Plume

BY STAFF REPORT

Initially announced in September 2020, the U.S. Forest Service plans to undergo an improvement plan to the Loveland Ski area that will add some changes to some well-known ski trails and expand the parking lot. Loveland Ski Area has operated on the Arapaho National Forest through a special use permit since 1937. The project will allow enhancements on the well-loved green trails Zig Zag and Boomerang. The enhancement will make for two new skiing trails just adjacent to Boomerang. The improvement plan also includes more parking, with 500 new parking spots near the base of Loveland Valley. As part of that process USFS gave the public a 30-day objection period. USFS received one objection that pointed out that a permitted Nordic trail intersected with the proposed parking lot. The forest administrators and the objector eventually agreed on terms of rerouting the trail. The full environmental assessment and draft decision are available at: www.fs.usda.gov/goto/LovelandSkiProjects The improvement project work could occur as early as this summer.

Most completed the 5K circuit, which started at the George Rowe Museum, went down Main Street, up the 7:30 Mine Trail, back down to the museum, and then looped around town again. The event was a draw for people from all over Clear Creek and beyond. Glenn Bakken, who owns property in Grand County but mostly lives in

Florida and Oregon, said a friend who was also participating told him about the event. So, he decided to visit Silver Plume for the first time. While the second mile up the 7:30 Mine Trail was difficult, Bakken said he appreciated seeing all the town’s historic buildings. Dumont’s Robin Baker also enSEE FUN RUN, P22

CROCKER

Dana Paul Crocker 10/4/1962 - 5/29/2021

Dana Paul Crocker, also known to many as “Daytona Dana”, age 58, of Littleton, CO passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully, on May 29, 2021. Born October 4, 1962 and a native to Colorado where he lived in Aurora, CO until age 23 then moved to Thousand Oaks, CA until 1999, before returning to the mile-high state. He is survived by his daughter, Shanda Tillman (fiancé Chris) of Rifle, CO; grandson, Ryatt Hunter; mother, Paula (Husband Leon) Meurer of Parker, CO; father Dave (Wife Kay) Crocker of Foxfield, CO; stepmother Jo Doornbos of Paradise Valley, AZ; brother Darren (Wife Lacy) Crocker of Brighton, CO; brother Vernon Doornbos of Parker, CO; sister Susie (Husband Louis) LoSasso of Aurora, CO; nephew Colton (fiancée Meghan) Crocker, niece Kayla Doornbos, nephew Joey LoSasso, and nieces Makenna Crocker and Gracie Crocker. Dana had countless friends that he met along his life’s journey. He always went out of his way to help

people and quickly befriended everyone he met. Pshhhh...he was the life of the party! Racing to the finish line a little earlier than anticipated, #78 - Daytona Dana - will no doubt race around heaven leaving rubber on the shiny white pearl roads as he takes the turns as fast as he can “around the outside”. The air may be a little thinner there, but that won’t stop him from tuning his carb and outrunning the best of the best. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Crocker Residence, 14121 Country Hills Drive, Brighton, CO on Sunday, July 18th, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dana’s honor to his favorite non-profit, Sparkling Kindness that helps those in need and sheds light on any darkness with a motto of “We rise by lifting others” just as Dana has done all through his life. www.sparklingkindness.org Venmo: @sparkling-kindness

Clear Creek enters Stage 1 fire ban

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Clear Creek County is under a temporary Stage 1 fire ban — a restriction that will likely be upgraded in the coming weeks. The ban took effect noon Thursday, June 17. The county joins other mountain counties in restricting activities to lessen the chance of a fire being

caused. The public is asked to report any smoke or unlawful fires to the authorities. Stage 1 restrictions include: Building or maintaining any open fire, except within a permanently constructed fire grate in a park, campground or picnic area. Discharging a firearm, except when engaging in lawful hunting activities or target-shooting at

the county’s two official shooting ranges. Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while in an area of at least 3 feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all combustible material. Selling, possessing or using any type of fireworks or other pyrotechnic device, including sparklers.

Municipal-conducted firework shows with the proper insurance and preparations are the only exception. Violators may be charged with 4th degree arson, reckless endangerment, and/or unlawful conduct on public or private property. For more information, visit clearcreekcounty.us.

I-70 mountain express lane to open in early July BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Colorado Department of Transportation hopes to open the westbound I-70 mountain express lane for a trial period in a few weeks. However, it likely won’t be until after the Fourth of July, CDOT Project Engineer Jeff Hampton said. According to Hampton, once the lane is open for its free testing phase, CDOT will encourage drivers to use it to ensure all the equipment is working properly. Tolling shouldn’t start until the fall, CDOT

representatives have described. In the meantime, crews still need to install concrete barriers along the shoulders and finish building a sound wall near exit 239 in Idaho Springs. Work on the sound wall will require a traffic shift, Hampton said, but everything else will be done at night to reduce impacts on motorists. “We had a very aggressive schedule to get this project done,” Hampton said. “Unfortunately, we weren’t able to hit that milestone and get out of there early. But, we were done in about a two-year timeframe, which

is impressive for $70 million worth of work.” Regarding Clear Creek’s summer traffic, Hampton said counts from mid-May to mid-June are still below pre-pandemic levels, but they are increasing. The peaks remain the same, such as westbound traffic increasing on Thursday afternoons, but the volume isn’t quite back to normal yet, he continued. However, CDOT is anticipating Fourth of July traffic on I-70 will be at its pre-pandemic levels, especially because the holiday is on a weekend this year.

With the holiday, Hampton said construction will be suspended Thursday evening through the Monday or possibly the Tuesday after the holiday weekend. While the express lane is wrapping up, CDOT spokeswoman Presley Fowler commented that the mountain corridor has other ongoing projects, including rockfall mitigation and resurfacing. For information on these projects, visit codot.gov/projects/i70mountaincorridor.

School district plans community meetings Officials want to explain plans for a possible $33 million bond ask BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Clear Creek School District officials plan to host community meetings starting in mid-July to explain why they want to ask voters for a $33 million bond in November and to get feedback. Dates and times haven’t been set for the meetings yet, but Superintendent Karen Quanbeck said she plans a meeting at each of the district’s four school buildings. “The community meetings will allow us to share our best thinking right now regarding the bond,” Quanbeck said at the June 15

school board meeting. “We will be able to incorporate the community’s comments, and that will help the board make a final decision in August.” The board plans to formally vote on whether to put a bond on the ballot at its Aug. 17 meeting. At its June 3 work session, the board generally agreed to move forward with the bond ask. Quanbeck said district officials wanted to provide voters with facts about the district’s needs, how it would spend the money and how it has spent previous bond money. “My job and our job as a board is to look at all the facts and decide what is the best long-term decision for our kids,” Quanbeck said. “We have needs and deferred maintenance, which is why we are looking at (a bond). It’s up to our voters in terms of what they are willing or able to do.”

In response to a rumor on social media, Quanbeck said: “We are not considering consolidating elementary schools. We believe deeply in community schools. … In our district, given the geographical complexities, it’s not feasible (to consolidate).” Board member Kelly Flenniken was excited about what a bond would provide for students. “When parents are looking at where to put their kids, it’s a competitive process,” Flenniken said. “We want parents to choose to come to our schools, not only to experience a great education, but our schools will be inspiring spaces. We need a transformation of facilities that are matching the education they are receiving.” “This feels like a really big ask,” noted board member Erica Haag. “We’re playing a bit of catch up. It’s (big) because it’s so needed

because we haven’t done (facilities maintenance) in the past.” Facilities consultant Mike Moonan is recommending that the district hire a third-party firm to perform administrative oversight of the bond if it is approved. He said a separate company would help smooth the process. In response to questions about a new bus barn if Four Points Development buys the Idaho Springs football field and the bus barn properties, officials said they are considering either the track or the area near the U.S. Forest Service building at the middle school property or putting it next to Clear Creek High School. If the sale goes through, the district could use a portion of the $2.525 million sale price to build the facility. SEE SCHOOL BOND, P18

School board OKs pay raises for staff Clear Creek School District employees will get a 3.5% pay raise for the 2021-22 school year. That means a teacher with a bachelor’s degree and no experience will make $38,709. The salary increase plus the step increases on the salary schedule are part of the contract with the Clear Creek County Education Association that the school board

approved on June 15. The school district has been able to increase salaries since the 201617 school year, when a teacher with a bachelor’s degree and no experience had a starting salary of $32,000. In the 2018-19 school year, teacher base pay increased $2,000, and other employees received 6.25% raises. In the 2019-20 school year, staff

Trang Janick was born and raised in Reading, Pennsylvania, the third of four daughters by her very entrepreneurial parents. Her folks opened two beer distributorships, owned a 1-Hour Photo shop, a T-Mobile prepaid phone store, a Vietnamese restaurant and a sandwich shop-and invested in real estate along the way. Trang remembers working at the family businesses at a young age: pushing a broom, washing dishes, stocking shelves, manning a cash register. She graduated from high school with honors and attended prestigious Drexel University to study marketing. She always aspired to own her own business one day and constantly tried new ideas. At one point, she taught herself how to build content, edit, code & produce apps on the internet. Trang’s creative nature and desire to be her own boss led her to real estate and she later found that by helping others buy & sell their biggest investments, she was fulfilling her own dreams. She has lived in the foothills for over a decade so she knows the territory and you can find scores of her interviews with local businesses on Facebook. She and her friend, Tessa Larson, started The Collective, a real estate team, and Madison & Co. Properties is pleased to announce that they’ve recently joined the Evergreen office.

VOICES Another legislative session in the books

The 2021 session of the Colorado General Assembly adjourned June 8, completing a session in which majority Democrats utilized their significant majority by passing most elements of an ambitious agenda. Among those priorities were a transportation funding plan that will invest $5 billion over the next 10 years, tax policy changes that will eliminate or lessen tax exemptions for a large variety of businesses and industries, requirements for health insurance providers to offer products at lower rates, a series of gun control measures, police reform and criminal justice initiatives, data privacy, school finance and climate change. Bills to limit crimes for which suspects could be jailed and to make it easier for employees to sue their employers for sexual harassment or discrimination failed in the closing hours of the session. The session was unique in that it

featured a monthlong recess to address concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic. There was also limited access to the State Capitol that changed the ways in which the public was able to participate in and influence legislative Columnist action. That recess provided lawmakers with extra time after the budget was adopted to focus on a large number of issues that typically would not be addressed in the closing days of a legislative session. Legislators made draconian cuts to the state’s budget in 2020 because of revenue estimates that the pandemic would decimate the state’s budget. The economy rebounded much more quickly than expected and higher state tax revenues, coupled

GREG ROMBERG

with federal stimulus assistance, provided for large increases in state spending and significant increases to the state’s budget reserve. There were significant differences between the House and Senate as to how partisan differences played out. The Senate acted in a largely collegial fashion and found ways to work in which the state budget and significant police reform passed with large bipartisan majorities. Conversely, Republicans in the House utilized a much more obstructionist strategy, voting as a block against a wider variety of issues and exercising delaying tactics that slowed down the process but did little or nothing to effect final outcomes. And now the dance around how the public will view legislative actions begins in earnest. With eyes firmly on 2022 elections, Democrats will characterize legislative achievements as promises made and promises delivered while Republicans

will portray it as an overreach that resulted in an extreme agenda out of touch with the beliefs of most Coloradans. It’s clear that the most progressive Democrats and most conservative Republicans will agree with their parties’ spin. It’s less clear how more moderate members of both parties and unaffiliated voters will view things. 2022 election results will be impacted additionally by how redistricting lines drawn by the newly established independent commission works out. Most current legislative districts are not particularly competitive. To the extent possible, a legal responsibility of the commission is to make districts competitive. It will be in those truly competitive districts that we’ll see how Coloradans view the legislature’s work. Greg Romberg is president of Romberg and Associates. He lives in Evergreen with his wife, Laurie.

Heartworm on the rise as rescue dogs come from other states In 2019, an estimated 93,000 animals went into shelters in Oklahoma. Of those animals, over 23,000 dogs died. That’s about 65 animals per day. Along Oklahoma’s section of Route 66 lies a small building that houses cats and dogs that are looking for permanent homes. The Peaceful Animal Adoption Shelter in Vanita, Oklahoma, began sheltering and rehoming pets in 2015. By mid-2017, PAAS began rescuing animals from “kill” shelters around Oklahoma and transporting them to no-kill shelters around the country. In 2017, 130 Oklahoma dogs per month were transported to Colorado shelters like the Denver Dumb Friends League. While languishing in “kill shelters” in states like Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, these animals can be exposed to diseases like giardia and mange, which are fairly easy to detect and treat. A more insidious disease that can affect dogs and cats is heartworm, which is transmitted by infected

mosquitoes. An animal arriving in Colorado could be infected with heartworm but not have symptoms. Some shelters perform heartworm tests, but for younger dogs, the tests are unreliable, according to CathChristy Greene leen Timmons with Evergreen Animal Protective League. “Any of our dogs over 6 months of age have been tested for heartworm prior to us bringing them in from out of state. If for some reason the test is missed, we get it done here.” Heartworm can be fatal if not treated before the animal develops a large “worm burden” of up to 250 worms. Caused by a parasitic worm, Dirofilaria imminitis, the worms are spread through the bite of a mosquito, which acts as the “intermediary host.” Worms live inside the mos-

INSIDE THE OUTDOORS

quito for a short transition period. Through the bite of the infected mosquito, the dog becomes the “definitive host” during which time the worms mature, mate and produce offspring. Heartworm is not spread animal to animal, and therefore, an adopted pet with heartworm cannot infect other pets. Damage occurs when the worms infest the pet’s heart and large blood vessels where they cause inflammation and interfere with blood flow. Larval worms deposited by a mosquito take approximately six months to mature. A dog may show minor health issues like coughing or vomiting, but unfortunately, she may be infected with heartworm for a year or longer before there are noticeable signs. Other mammals, like foxes and coyotes, may also be bitten with infected mosquitos. Wild animals cannot be given preventative medication and are free roaming, therefore raising the risk of spreading the parasite to ever-growing geographical areas.

Climate change has given more of a foothold to mosquito and tickborne diseases in Colorado, including in the foothills. As heartworm among Colorado dogs increases by as much as 67.5% between 2013 and 2017, veterinarians recommend administering preventive heartworm drugs for dogs, cats and ferrets. A heartworm test must be administered before a dog can start on the medication. If a dose is missed, it might be necessary to retest the dog before resuming the drugs. Early detection and preventative drugs can save a pet’s life, so talk to your veterinarian if you are fostering or adopting an animal from another state. In fall 2020, PAAS transported Patty the stray Catahoula dog to the Denver Dumb Friends League. One of 93,000 dogs suffering in Oklahoma kill-shelters, Patty was welcomed with open arms into her new forever home just five days after her arrival in Denver.

awe of his service, photos and great stories, but I wasn’t quite sure what to make of this gift. I said my thanks in a holiday phone call back home, where everything was festive and fortissimo. The moMikkel Kelly ments flew by with scant talk of the badge. I put it with my other jewelry, and it has been with me ever since. A few years later, my father — at age 56 — made a fast exit from this world when he fell into a coma because of an undiagnosed brain aneurysm. Weeks after his service, I mentioned the badge in the red wrapping paper at a small gathering. A friend who had heard about this gift softly looked into my eyes and told me it was his way of telling me I had “earned my wings.” She said he was proud I had finished my degree and was very proud I was on an adventure. Suddenly I felt my heart swell. My thoughts spun in all directions. Every so often, I remove the badge from the paper. I think back and feel his affirmation. I love the confident folds in the paper that reflect how he did most things, especially driving — fast. This paper I cherish has no words on it. And his aviator badge is true treasure. I am amazed how quiet gestures have such lasting power. Here’s to dads everywhere and the many, many ways they show love and support. Happy Father’s Day.

Summary

Long ago I lived out of a suitcase and performed in a soul band for six years. The band was the Satisfactions, a mix of Midwestern and Washington, D.C. musicians that played one-to-four-week bookings in nightclubs. We played a half-dozen major cities and many smaller ones — International Falls, Minnesota to the far north; Joplin, Missouri to the south; Camp Springs, Maryland to the east; and Casper, Wyoming to the west. It was a simpler time. I had a suitcase, three suit bags, a tough JeanPaul Germain gray raincoat and my guitar gear. My one monthly bill was $90 for Blue Cross health insurance. My father was a hospital administrator and my mother was a registered nurse and community leader. One promise I knew to keep for them was to never go without health insurance. I made an appointment and secured my own policy before finishing my music degree. Soon thereafter, I jumped at the chance to travel and perform. Night life on the road was loud and jazzy, but I do remember my quietest Christmas ever at the Midway Motor Lodge in Elkhart, Indiana. I remember the eerie lapse of life in the hallways of the deserted motel and the half-present expression of the front desk clerk who drew the short straw to cover Christmas Eve graveyard shift. I chose not to squeeze in a trip home to Albuquerque. So there I sat with a parcel from my parents on the small circular side table in my motel room. I explored the gifts inside. I found something small in folded red holiday wrapping paper at the bottom of the box. Inside the paper was my father’s Naval Aviator Badge from his days flying Douglas A2D planes from an aircraft carrier. I knew how much the Navy meant to him. I was in

BEAT

Georgetown boutique offers variety of sustainable, local products BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Justin and Tyler Fukae have appreciated meeting people who also have a passion for sustainability. In mid-March, the Lakewood couple opened Sabel at 507 Taos St., which offers a variety of home, bath and body products. “You’d be hard-pressed not to find something you want or need in here,” Justin said. Sabel’s focus, the two said, is offering sustainable and functional products, such as bamboo utensils and chapstick with non-plastic packaging. Plus, most items are locally made. Starting Sabel has been an exciting. Justin recently finished serving in the military, and the two have always wanted to open a business together. But, it seemed like a very intimidating process, Tyler described. When the Fukaes visited Georgetown over the fall and on New Year’s Day, they met the owners of The Barking Loop, who told them about starting a business and provided encouragement. They also saw the space at 507 Taos was for rent and decided to open Sabel there. One downside has been drawing people off Sixth Street, Justin described. The couple has put out sidewalk chalk as one way to attract foot traffic, and also plan to start serving tea and coffee on the patio area this summer or early fall. Overall, things are going well. The two described how they’ve already developed repeat customers, including several locals, and that sales have been pretty even across all sections. Tyler added that he’s thankful for how everyone’s welcomed them to the community, and said opening Sabel has been a great learning process. Justin commented: “Now we get to tick another thing off the bucket list.” Sabel is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Operating hours may

Georgetown business blooms Ron Grady’s décor at 511 Rose St. has been flying out the door as quickly as he’s bringing it in. “It’s hard to find things to bring in to replace them,” Grady said. Everything from the food to the furniture is for sale at Georgetown’s 511 Rose, which opened on May 11. The business has a full food menu, along with bourbon, vodka, tequila,

scotch, wine and Coors beer. It also sells furniture and décor, which is constantly changing as pieces are sold. “It’s been wild and crazy,” Grady said of opening 511 Rose. “It’s exceeded my expectations.” Customers so far have been a mix of locals and tourists. Grady said he’s sold pieces to people from across the United States, and bartender Cassandra Van Rooyen said some nights, there are a lot of Empire and Idaho Springs residents. The venue features live music Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and Grady said the place has a “rocking atmosphere” during the performances. Grady is also particularly proud of 511 Rose’s food. He credited Chef Travis Smith, who previously ran Evergreen’s Bistro Colorado and has won multiple international food competitions. Along with the regular menu, Smith offers a daily special, such as the Sunday brunch. Some dishes are even selling out, and the coldsmoked salmon has been a particular favorite, Smith and Grady explained.

Fee increases will pay for highway projects Polis signs transportation bill that adds to costs of gasoline, rideshares

COMMISSIONER MARLIN ON THE BILL Among the visiting dignitaries at the June 17 transportation bill signing by Gov. Jared Polis, one was more at home than the others. Clear Creek County Commissioner George Marlin, standing on the banks of Clear Creek, underneath the aging I-70 overpass, said he found the choice of location for the signing to be quite apt.

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

FLOYD HILL — Shaded by an Interstate 70 bridge that has fueled steering-wheel-pounding rage for generations, Gov. Jared Polis on June 17 signed a transportation fee and spending bill that seeks to inject more than $5 billion into Colorado road and transit projects over the next 11 years. “Everybody knows we need to fix it,” Polis said of Colorado’s road and highway system before signing Senate Bill 260 under the curved I-70 bridge at the bottom of Floyd Hill, a structure over Clear Creek that chokes traffic and ruins the best-laid plans of skiers, snowboarders, hikers and bikers every weekend. “If it was easy it would have been done already.” Colorado lawmakers have been trying to solve the problem of the state’s limited transportation funding for years, proposing tax hikes and bonding and committing more existing money from the state budget to the problem. But the efforts to find money in the couch cushions to supplement a 22-cent gasoline tax that hasn’t increased since 1992 have either not been successful or not been

“We’re standing at a great example of what happens when you neglect infrastructure,” Marlin said, pointing to wooden support struts used to shore up the old bridges. Marlin said Clear Creek is at the nexus of the issues around transportation infrastructure and climate change.

sufficient to tackle the breadth of the issue. Senate Bill 260 was Democrats’ solution to the funding gridlock, allowing them to raise money without voter approval. Fees under the measure begin next year. They include: • 2 cents per gallon on gasoline and diesel fuel starting in July

“If you live in Clear Creek, you should get excited about a little less congestion, about less air pollution and getting more electric vehicles on the road to make highway noise a bit less,” he said while a steady stream of semi trucks rumbled overhead. Marlin said that after watching so many statewide transportation efforts fail in recent years, he saw the threat of areas like the Denver metro area breaking off to create a “Balkanization of funding solutions” that would likely leave smaller communities and counties without a say and without funding. “I’m grateful we found a solution that kept us at the table.”

Masterpiece Cakeshop loses transgender birthday case Owner says he will appeal judge’s ruling BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lakewood’s Masterpiece Cakeshop is back in the news — this time, for refusing to make a cake for transgender attorney Autumn Scardina. In the case, Denver District Court Judge A. Bruce Jones ruled last week that the cake shop violated Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA) by refusing to bake a blue and pink birthday cake Scardina ordered to celebrate her transition from male to female. Scardina attempted to order the birthday cake the same day in 2017

that the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would hear Masterpiece Cakeshop’s owner Jack Phillips’ appeal in a different case in which he was sanctioned by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission for refusing to make a wedding cake for same-sex couple Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins in 2012. In 2018, Phillips partially prevailed in that case when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Colorado Civil Rights Commission showed anti-religious bias when it sanctioned him for refusing to make the samesex wedding cake. The Scardina case was conducted virtually in March 2021. During the hearing, Scardina said Phillips had maintained that, as a Christian, he opposed making the same-sex wed-

ding cake in 2012 because it involved a religious ceremony but would sell any other type of product. Scardina said she called Masterpiece Cakeshop to place her order for the transgender birthday cake as a way to call Phillips’ bluff. In his decision, Jones reasoned that baking and decorating the requested style of cake was not a form of compelled speech. Therefore, the cake shop, and the cake decorator do not have a valid First Amendment claim that outweighs CADA’s anti-discrimination provisions. He also stated the average person would perceive the message presented by the cake to be Scardina’s, not that of the cake decorator. “The anti-discrimination laws are intended to ensure that members of

our society who have historically been treated unfairly, who have been deprived of even the every-day right to access businesses to buy products, are no longer treated as ‘others,’” the judge wrote. “This case is about one such product — a pink and blue birthday cake — and not compelled speech.” Jones ordered Masterpiece Cakeshop to pay Scardina $500 — the largest fine the statute allows, for refusing to make her cake as requested. The newspaper contacted Phillips for comment. He declined but provided contact information for his attorney to make arrangements for an interview. At press time, an interview has not been scheduled.

In addition to the funding mechanisms in the measure, there are also requirements that the Colorado Department of Transportation take greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals into account when planning future projects. State officials also must consider the impact of transporta-

tion work on communities where low-income people, minorities or housing-cost-burdened families make up 40% of the population under the new law. Finally, the bill emphasizes — and spends money on — an electric-vehicle future, as well as mass transit, including a poten-

tial Front Range passenger rail system. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state. Used by permission. For more, and to support The Colorado Sun, visit coloradosun.com.

FUN RUN FROM PAGE 1

joyed the mix of trail- and intown running, saying, “It was a beautiful run, and a spectacular, gorgeous day.” Baker said he was gearing up for other races this season, including this Saturday’s Slacker Half-Marathon. So, the event was a fun way to prepare. Georgetown’s Jenn Jordan completed a 54-mile ultra-marathon in Utah over Memorial Day weekend, but hadn’t really been out running since then. “It was good to get myself going again,” she said. While going up the trail was challenging, she commented that descending was arguably worse because of how steep and rocky it was. She and her family members had to be very careful with their footing. But, they did enjoy seeing the wildflowers along the trail, she added. Saturday was Jordan’s first fun run, and she’s looking forward to doing to the one next month, which will be during CCMRD’s Christmas in July event. The fun run will start at 10:30 a.m. July 24 at Idaho Springs’ Shelly/ Quinn Ballfields, rec district staff confirmed.

SPORTS Right on, Track!

CCHS track and field wraps up regular season, prepares for state BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For some Clear Creek track and field athletes, the season isn’t over just yet. Several Golddiggers are planning to compete in the 2A State Track and Field meet beginning June 24 in Lakewood, although Coach Brian Inman said Saturday that he wouldn’t find out who was going until Monday. He said the girls sprint medley team, high-jumper Anika McKown and sprinter Kylie Lynch will likely go, and one of the boys relay teams might be attending as well. “When we can get kids going consistently to state like this, it’s good for the program,” Inman said. The Golddiggers competed in their final meet of the regular season Friday at West Grand’s Joe Shields Invitational. Inman estimated that the boys team placed seventh overall and the girls team placed ninth. Highlights from the meet included: • The girls medley relay team placing first; • McKown placing second in high jump and third in the 400-meter dash; • Skylah Inman placing fourth in 100-meter hurdles; • Sean Mauracher and Michael Hillman placing fourth in the 100-meter dash and the 200-meter dash, respectively; and • The boys 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams both placing second. Conditions in Kremmling Friday weren’t ideal, as a strong headwind prevented Clear Creek from improving on its times, Inman described. Still, the meet went well overall, as the Golddiggers got a preview of some competitors who will be at state this week. Overall, Clear Creek’s track and field teams this season have been small but mighty.

Inman said there’s usually about 20 athletes combined, but this year, the group started with 16 and was down to 12 by Friday’s meet. He attributed the decreased participation to the season’s late end date. Some seniors decided not to return after graduation and other athletes opted out because of other summer activities, he explained. Inman was still very proud of his athletes for how well they competed over the regular season, pointing out that two broke school records this year. McKown set a school high jump record of 5-foot, 1-inch this season, breaking the previous 20-year record by a half-inch. Likewise, Lynch broke the school record in the 100-meter dash, which Inman said has stood for 34 years. The original was 12.89 seconds, and Lynch ran it in 12.82. She also broke the 200-meter record at 26.7 seconds. The previous 20-year record was 27.2. He also commended the boys relay team members of Mauracher, Evan SEE TRACK, P24

Brandt, Bode Baker and Michael Hillman, saying, “They’ve had potential all season, but we just had some poor exchanges and disqualifications.” Mauracher, who does individual and relay sprint events, said he was proud of how much his fellow Golddiggers have improved this year. “They don’t complain,” he said. “They just go out and do things to help the team.” He was hoping to attend the state meet this week, saying he’s never gone before. He set personal records at most meets, but still said there was a lot of room to improve his times and live up to the legacy of the Clear Creek sprinters who came before him. Mauracher hoped to see a lot of Golddigger faithful at the state track meet this week. While she won’t be competing at state, outgoing junior Jillian Lupinacci said she had fun and learned a lot during her first season on the track and field team. Lupinacci described how she set very modest goals for herself as it was her first time throwing discus and shot-put. She appreciated how supportive her teammates and coaches when she joined halfway through the season. “We’re more like a family than a team,” she said.

WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to prescribe the manner in which the duties and powers of the Clerk shall be performed, by City employees and otherwise, to accomplish the duties assigned to the position. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF IDAHO SPRINGS, COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Essential City Clerk Duties. For so long as the City Clerk of the City of Idaho

blopez@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Springs is an elected position and until and unless this Ordinance is repealed, amended or otherwise superseded, the provisions of this Ordinance shall control the duties and obligations of the City Clerk.

INTRODUCED, READ, AND ORDERED PUBLISHED, at a Regular Meeting of the Council of the City of Idaho Springs, Colorado on the 14th of June, 2021.

The personnel and support needs for the City Clerk’s office shall be performed by one or more City employees, as designated by City Council by resolution, at least one of whom shall serve as the designated deputy city clerk. Other job titles and duties related to City Clerk support services shall be as specified and titled by resolution of the City Council from time to time, through such as means as the City’s job descriptions. The City Clerk shall coordinate with the designated deputy city clerk to ensure that all of the Clerk’s duties are fulfilled.

Michael Hillman, Mayor

The following are the major categories of City Clerk duties and responsibilities and the manner in which those duties shall be allocated and performed amongst the elected City Clerk and City staff: (1) Keeping of Official City Records. The City Clerk is the custodian of all records kept and maintained by the City. The City Clerk shall oversee the record-keeping operations of the City. The day-to-day keeping, filing and maintenance of records – whether physical, digital or otherwise – shall be performed by City staff. City staff is authorized to review and respond to public record requests and to perform other ministerial records duties, subject to City Clerk review and comment. (2) Certification and Authentication of Records. The City Clerk possesses the authority to certify and authenticate City records and documents by affixing thereto her/his signature and the City seal. City staff may prepare such documents for the City Clerk’s execution. (3) Signing, countersigning and attesting. The City Clerk shall sign, countersign and attest signatures as required by law – e.g., ordinances, resolutions, agreements entered into by the City, financial warrants. When the City Clerk is unavailable to perform such tasks, the deputy city clerk may perform them after amending the signature line or making such other notation to duly document the deputy city clerk as the signing party. (4) Providing Legal Notices. The day-to-day provision of legal notices, such as notices of public hearings and City Council meeting agendas and notices, shall be performed by the deputy city clerk and other City staff as directed. The City Clerk may review the performance of these functions. (5) Elections. Most City elections are conducted as coordinated mail-ballot elections with the County Clerk and Recorder performing most of the election tasks required by law. In the case of such coordinated elections, the City Clerk shall work with the City Attorney and City Administrator to ensure that the City and County smoothly collaborate. In the case of non-coordinated elections, the City Clerk shall work with the City Administrator and City Council, as needed, to apportion and delegate election tasks to City staff and/or City consultants and contractors, as the case may be. SECTION 2. Participation in City Council Meetings. The City Clerk shall, at her or his discretion, be afforded time to address City Council on City Clerk matters at each regular meeting of the City Council. Further, the City Clerk is authorized to review and, at the Mayor’s discretion, comment on the operations and performance of the deputy city clerk, but in no case shall the City Clerk interfere with or impede the ability of the deputy city clerk or other designated employee from carrying out his or her job duties. SECTION 3. Availability of Records for Inspection. The books and records kept and maintained at the City’s offices by the deputy city clerk or other City designee shall at all times be available for inspection by the City Clerk and any City Council member, subject to practices and procedures developed by the City Council to prevent their loss or alteration. SECTION 4. Section 2-41 of the Idaho Springs Municipal Code, concerning the City Clerk, is hereby repealed and reenacted to read in its entirety as follows: Sec. 2-41. - City Clerk. (A) The City Clerk shall be elected to serve a term of office of four (4) years. (B) The City Clerk shall participate in the performance of such duties and functions required by law as prescribed by Ordinance No. 09, Series 2021, and by such other ordinances as may be adopted by the City Council from time to time. SECTION 5. Severability. If any portion of this Ordinance is found to be void or ineffective, it shall be deemed severed from this Ordinance and the remaining provisions shall remain valid and in full force and effect. SECTION 6. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective after the November 2, 2021 regular municipal election of the City of Idaho Springs – specifically, upon the date on which the person elected to the office of City Clerk at such municipal election assumes such office by taking the oath required by C.R.S. § 31-4-401 or the date of appointment of a person to fill such office in the event the office is not filled by the 2021 municipal election. SECTION 7. Authorization. The officers of the City are authorized and directed to take actions necessary and appropriate to effect the provisions of this Ordinance.

CITY OF IDAHO SPRINGS Clear Creek County, Colorado Ordinance No. 10, Series 2021 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 5-1 OF THE IDAHO SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE TO DISALLOW SIMULTANEOUS MEMBERSHIP OF BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY COUNCIL WHEREAS, pursuant to C.R.S. § 31-23-203, the City Council (“Council”) of the City of Idaho Springs (“City”) possesses the authority to create and manage the membership of a City planning commission; and WHEREAS, under this authority, the Council has previously acted to create and define the terms and eligibility for office on the Idaho Springs Planning Commission (“Commission”), codified as Section 5-1 of the Idaho Springs Municipal Code (“Code”); and WHEREAS, Code Section 5-1 currently mirrors the language of C.R.S. § 31-23-203(1) on default Commission membership, which allows the Mayor and one additional City Council member to serve on the Commission; and WHEREAS, C.R.S. § 31-23-203(4) expressly allows the Council to amend this default membership and to adjust the size, membership and Commission member qualifications by ordinance; and WHEREAS, based on its experience with quasijudicial land use matters that typically flow through the Commission for review and recommendation before being heard again by the City Council, the Council finds that dual membership on both bodies presents legal challenges and requires recusal at one hearing or the other; and WHEREAS, rather than losing one or two voting members of a reviewing body due to these legal issues, the Council finds that it is more efficient and desirable to fill both body’s memberships with residents who could hear and vote on all matters coming before the body without regard to such quasi-judicial concerns; and WHEREAS, the City Council therefore desires to eliminate the possibility of City Council members simultaneously serving on the Planning Commission. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Idaho Springs, Colorado, as follows: Section 1. The above and foregoing recitals are incorporated herein by reference and adopted as findings and determinations of the City Council. Section 2. Subsection 5-1(A) of the Code, is hereby amended as follows: Sec. 5-1. Creation, membership. (A) Pursuant to state law, there is hereby created a Planning Commission for the City (herein the “Commission”). The Planning Commission shall consist of five (5) members and two (2) alternates, who may include the Mayor and any other member of the City Council. An alternate member may act in the absence of a regular member. Members of the Planning Commission and the alternates shall be appointed by the City Council, cannot simultaneously serve on the City Council, and must be residents of the City. Section 3. Should any one or more sections or provisions of this Ordinance or of any Code provision enacted hereby be judicially determined invalid or unenforceable, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remaining provisions of this Ordinance or of such Code provision, the intention being that the various sections and provisions are severable. Section 4. Any and all Ordinances or Codes or parts thereof in conflict or inconsistent herewith are, to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency, hereby repealed; provided, however, that the repeal of any such Ordinance or Code provision or part thereof shall not revive any other section or part of any Ordinance or Code provision heretofore repealed or superseded.
