Westminster recall election guide STAFF REPORT

A Westminster Fourth of July fireworks display at City Park was backed by the Rocky Mountains outlined by the final streams of the day’s sunlight. The cities of Westminster and Northglenn combined efforts this year, with Northglenn hosting events throughout the area and Westminster hosting the fireworks display.

The city of Westminster will spend up to $250,000 on a recall election that could remove City Councilor Jon Voelz from office. Voelz’s council seat is up for election in November, depending on the result of the recall. Ballots have already been sent out and polling centers opened on July 12. Votes will be counted on July 20. In addition to the question of whether Voelz should be recalled, voters are also being asked if candidate Kathleen Dodaro should elected if Voelz is recalled. The mid-summer election is the result of a fight over water rates that began last September when the Westminster Water Warriors, a group of citizens, launched a recall campaign against Voelz, Mayor Anita Seitz, Councilor Kathryn Skulley and former Mayor Herb Atchison over claims that the four supported raising water rates or did not support lowering water rates. Ultimately, the Water Warriors secured enough signatures on Voelz and Atchison’s recall petitions to trigger recall elections against the two. Atchison resigned soon after that announcement. In May, supporters filed a protest on Voelz’s behalf contesting signatures on his recall petitions. An administrative hearing officer determined the recall election could still proceed because Voelz’s petition contained three signatures above the minimum threshold required to trigger a recall election. In May, Defend Westminster, another group of citizens, formed to support Voelz and oppose the Water Warriors. In advance of the recall election, the two candidates on the ballot, Voelz and Dodaro, and the two citizen groups, Defend Westminster and the Water Warriors, answered questions about their stances on issues related to the recall.

Redistricting commissions schedule public hearings Gatherings are chance to comment on proposed congressional and statehouse districts BY THY VO AND SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Coloradans have a chance to have their voices heard on proposals for redrawn congressional and legislative districts at a total of 32 meetings around the state through the end of August. The gatherings are the public’s opportunity to address both the Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission and Independent Legislative Redistricting Commission, which will convene jointly at each meeting. The Colorado Sun examined the initial congressional and legislative maps offered by nonpartisan legislative staff and comments submitted online by the public — most of which came before the preliminary maps were issued — from different corners of the state to get an idea of what concerns the commissioners might hear. More attention — and public comments — have been directed toward remapping the congressional districts as Colorado is slated to get a new, eighth seat in the U.S. House. But the impact on state Senate and House seats could also

be big, with control of the state Legislature — currently dominated by Democrats — at stake. The commission will hold hearings in the Denver metro area on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and in other parts of the state on Fridays and Saturdays. Most of the members of each 12-member commission will attend the hearings in person, though some will attend virtually. Typically, meetings will be chaired by a commission member from the congressional district in which they are held. The venue for some meetings, especially those scheduled for August, aren’t yet finalized. View the redistricting commissions’ official calendar at redistricting.colorado. gov for the most up-to-date information. Half of the state’s eight congressional districts would encompass all or part of the Denver metro area under the proposal from nonpartisan staff. And a significant number of state House and Senate districts are also in the area. Ten of the commissions’ public hearings will be held in Denver metro communities, all on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings through Aug. 24. More than 100 commenters from Lakewood already have chimed in, with most asking that Lakewood, which is in Jefferson County, be kept separate from Douglas County. The two are drawn together in the proposed 7th Congressional

District. Meanwhile, the proposed map places the new 8th Congressional District in the area northwest and north of Denver, including the cities of Arvada, Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, Brighton and Platteville. The map resembles one recommended by the Colorado Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, though it doesn’t stretch as far into Weld County as that group suggested. Legislative districts are likely to be a focus of the hearings, too. Three proposed metro-area Senate districts and five House districts would place incumbents in the same district. Public comments sent to the commissioners asked them to consider: • Black, Hispanic and minority communities, whose populations have shifted from central Denver to Aurora, Commerce City and other suburban Denver areas. • The impact of affordable housing and the interests of renters. • Oddly-drawn district lines in the proposed legislative maps, including splitting the dorms of the University of Denver between two state House districts. The Interstate 25 corridor north from Denver saw some of the state’s most explosive growth between 2010 and 2020, as subdivisions popped up on former agricultural land. That’s part of the reason the new 8th Congressional District was drawn in this area. The first draft also would shrink the 2nd Congressional District, still including the college towns of Boulder and Fort Collins, but no longer reaching across the Continental Divide into Eagle County. The 4th District would include the northern and eastern parts of Weld County under the proposal, before stretching out to the Eastern Plains and south. Residents of western Boulder County are upset at potentially being moved into the 3rd Congressional District under the proposed map. The 3rd District has been a Republican stronghold and it’s currently represented by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert. Some 20 people

Other comments received by the commissions thus far include: • Concerns about Longmont’s grouping with Weld, Douglas and Eastern Plains counties in the current congressional map, rather than with Boulder. • Urging a congressional district be drawn along the northern I-25 corridor, including to keep Larimer and Weld counties together and separate from the Eastern Plains. Others, however, want to keep Larimer and Weld separate from each other. • How rapid population growth and development in Greeley has given it more in common with metro Denver than with Fort Morgan, Sterling and Yuma. • How a significant Hispanic population in Greeley could be grouped with those in Longmont, Brighton and Commerce City.

BRIGHTON – An Adams County Court judge declared a mistrial in the case of Jeremy Webster. Webster is accused of killing a 13-year-old boy during an alleged road-rage incident in June 2018. The incident, which also injured the boy’s mother, his younger brother and a bystander, was at a Westminster dentist’s office. Chris Hopper, the spokesman for the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, said an emergency medical issue prevented a prosecution witness from coming to Colo-

rado to testify in person at the trial. Hopper called the witness “necessary and indispensable” to the prosecution’s case. Hopper said that the jury selection process was still ongoing and jurors for trial had not yet been seated. The Webster judge, Priscilla Loew, reset the proceedings to Oct. 25. Webster is charged with a total 22 counts, including murder with extreme indifference and assault with extreme indifference.

Despite progress, shopping center still has far to go Thornton city staff outline cleanup needs as first building comes down BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One of the Thornton Shopping Center’s derelict buildings has been demolished, but it still will be a while before the property can be redeveloped, Thornton City Council learned during a July 6 planning session. The shopping center’s cleanup operation has made significant progress in just the past month – both in remediating contaminated soil and addressing city code violations – after years of very little progress. However, the property owner has only completed part of the soil remediation, city staff said, and it’s unknown how long that will take. The property has two major problems. First is the contamination of the soil and groundwater with perchloroethylene (PERC), a dry-cleaning chemical, of which the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment enforces the remediation. The second set of issues is structural and aesthetic ones with buildings, parking lots and sidewalks, which the city enforces through issuing municipal code violations. Recently, contractors working for

property owner Jay Brown completed off-site PERC remediation, a process that involves injecting chemicals into the subsurface to break down the PERC. Brown has not started on-site injections closer to the source of the contamination, and it doesn’t seem like he will anytime soon, explained John Cody, Thornton’s economic development director, at a council planning session July 6. “He does not currently, at least according to him, have the funds to do the cleanup of the on-site contamination,” Cody added. The city is considering paying for the on-site remediation. To do that, the city wants Brown to agree to a revised corrective action plan with CDPHE for a more comprehensive process that involves a contractor digging up the actual soil and baking away the contamination through an electronic process. That seems to be the most likely path at this point, which would take about two years. Another source hasn’t come forward offering to fund it. Just looking at the still-needed on-site remediation, Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Sandgren asked at the planning session, “When we talk about redevelopment, it is still a ways down the road?” Cody said it is. “Until there is a revised corrective action plan to address the (on-site) contamination in that way, with funding from some source … nothing will happen,” he said. At the same time, there is still a

For years, cleanup of the Thornton Shopping Center has dragged on. One of the property’s structures was recently demolished, which was a major development despite COURTESY OF JESSICA SANDGREN the fact that there’s still a lot of work to be done.

lot of progress to be made with the municipal code violations. So far, the city has issued two sets of code violations against Brown. Each set has a case in municipal court. In the first case, in a follow-up sentencing hearing June 30, a municipal court judge levied $18,500 in financial penalties against Brown for failing to meet deadlines for certain cleanup projects. It was a relief to critics of Brown, who have previously watched municipal court judges decide against fines. “I wanted more of a fine but am happy that accountability has finally arrived.,” said Séamus Blaney, a community member who’s been

actively involved in efforts to clean up the property and hold Brown accountable, in an email. “I feel a little traction in the direction of progress.” Also, on July 1, the property’s northern structure was demolished, a step towards addressing some of the first set of code violations. At the site of the demolition, Sandgren posted photos on Facebook and said, “For more than 15 years the Thornton Shopping Center property has been ignored by its property owner … Now because of the hard work of staff and efforts by Council, progress is finally being made!”

Westminster eighth-grader wins ‘I Voted’ sticker design contest BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For the Fernandez family of Westminster, coming up with designs that symbolize voting runs in the family. Jade Fernandez, a Silver Hills Middle School student, designed the winning Adams County Clerk and Recorder “I Voted” sticker, featuring the Adams County logo, a bald eagle, and a flag that will be used in the 2021 and 2022 elections, according to a press release. Fernandez comes from a family of artists. Her sister Lana won the 2019 sticker contest that was used in the 2020 general election. “One of the first things I think of when it comes to America is the national bird, the bald eagle, and the flag. The colors of those elements contrast and complement each other nicely, especially the hues of blood-red in the stripes of the flag which represent the sacrifices of the country’s founders and forefathers,” Jade said. The Adams County Clerk and Recorders office held an “I Voted” design sticker contest. Three submissions were received with a final vote by Adams County residents, employees and Fernandez was selected as the winner. “We are fortunate to have talented and creative youth in Adams Coun-

Also, if numerous designs are received they will be used for the 2022 elections.

Metro area home sales set median price record in June Just 3,122 homes were listed for sale last month across metro counties

counties in the metro area, including Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver and Jefferson counties. Realtor Brigette Modglin, who’s been part of the Association of Realtors’ market trends committee since 2016, said some of the reasons for the increase include more millennials looking to buy homes, buyers who want to work from home after the pandemic, and baby boomers who are also interested in buying, either by upsizing or downsizing from their current home. She added there were some huge sales that may have skewed numbers a bit. A home in ritzy Cherry Hills Village recently sold for $1.1 million above its initial listing price

BY ESTEBAN L. HERNANDEZ DENVERITE

The median closing price for a home in the Denver metro area was a record $545,000 in June, according to the latest real estate market trends report from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. The amount is a 1.49% increase from May, and a whopping 22.47% increase compared to June 2020. The report uses sales from 11

tag. While Modglins said it wasn’t clear whether this sale impacted June’s number, she said this is the kind of sale that can cause sale averages to spike. She noted that this is why the median closing price is generally used more often than the average closing price, since Modglin said the average is the sum of all home sale prices divided by the total number of sales. The median is more of the “middle” value and is more insulated from outliers like, say, a multimillion-dollar home sale. The report said the average closing price for a home in the metro area in June was $643,645. The report noted the average

number of homes on the market for June is 16,098, based on figures from 1985 to 2020. The market is nowhere near that, with just 3,122 listings last month, a record low. Despite being a record low, June’s homes-on-the-market figures were a 50.46% increase from May, far above the average 5.86% change. But even then, the 3,122 listings were 51.09 percent fewer than in June 2020. The record high listing for June was in 2006 when the area had 31,900 listings, according to the report.

Internet service discount available for those in need if your household is on qualifying tribal lands; • A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50). Only one monthly service discount and one device discount are allowed per household, according to the website for the FCC’s program. The program will end when the fund runs out of money, or six months after the federal Department of Health and Human Services declares an end to the COVID-19 health emergency, whichever is sooner. The FCC anticipates that Emergency Broadband Benefit funds will be available for several months, said Paloma Perez, a spokesperson for the FCC.

A strong, reliable internet signal may be more important than ever amid the coronavirus pandemic, but internet service isn’t a sure thing for every household. The federal agency that regulates communication by radio, television, satellite and cable is offering a program that provides a temporary discount on monthly internet bills for low-income households that qualify. Here’s information about how to sign up for the program. Emergency Broadband Benefit The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, offers the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program — a discount on monthly internet bills. If your household is eligible, you can receive: • Up to a $50 per month discount on your broadband service and associated equipment rentals; • Up to a $75 per month discount

Who qualifies? A household qualifies for the Emergency Broadband Benefit if it has an income at or below 135% of the federal poverty guidelines —

that’s $35,775 or below for a family of four; see the chart at tinyurl. com/FederalPovertyLevelChart — or if any member of the household: • Qualifies for Lifeline benefits through participation in SNAP (food assistance), Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, federal public housing assistance, or Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit; • Participates in one of several tribal-specific programs, including Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, tribal Head Start (only households meeting the relevant income qualifying standard), Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Tribal TANF) or the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations; • Experienced a substantial loss of income since Feb. 29, 2020, due to job loss or furlough and had a total household income in 2020 at or below $99,000 for single filers and $198,000 for joint filers; • Received a federal Pell Grant in the current award year;

• Received approval for benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Community Eligibility Provision, in the 2019-20 or 2020-21 school years; or • Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating broadband provider’s existing low-income or COVID-19 program, and that provider received FCC approval for its eligibility verification process. Program rules acknowledge there may be more than one eligible household residing at the same address, the program’s website says. Any member of your household can make the household eligible. For example, if your child or dependent participates in the free and reduced-price school lunch program, your household qualifies.

Groups: Westminster Water Warriors Campaign finance records and a Q&A with a group organizer Financial Report Since September, the Water Warriors have raised $19,376 and spent $21,383, according to an analysis of campaign finance reports filed by three different committees affiliated with the Water Warriors between September and June. The Water Warriors’ fundraising base is mostly made up of locals donating smaller amounts of money. A portion of the donors are smallbusiness owners or real estate agents.

The group has spent a total of $18,156 on its attorney, Scott Gessler, former Colorado secretary of state and candidate for Colorado GOP chairman. Currently, the total amount of legal fees the Water Warriors owe Gessler is about $40,000, but invoices are still coming in, said Debbie Teter, an organizer with the Water Warriors. The Water Warriors paid another law firm $1,000. Additionally, the Water Warriors have spent $860 on Facebook ads, a tool the group has leveraged to solicit fundraising for legal fees, muster public commenters for city council meetings, and campaign for city council candidates running for office or reelection in the November municipal election.

Q&A with Water Warriors organizers Scott Ireland, Debbie Teter, Sandra Pospisil and Bruce Baker Window: What is this recall election about? Water Warriors: With residents throughout the city struggling to pay summer water bills that often exceeded car payments and even monthly home mortgage payments and pleas for relief being ignored by city leaders, a grassroots effort began last summer to recall those on the city council who failed to support lower water rates (former mayor Atchison, current mayor Seitz, and councilors Skulley and Voelz). As members of the Westminster Water Warriors group walked nearly every street

in the city to gather support for the recall effort they observed firsthand the negative impact the excessive water rates have had on the city and its residents from the numerous brown and dying lawns to the heartbreaking stories of those deciding whether to pay their water bill or to purchase F needed food or medicine. r Westminster city staff have said that the t water rate model is necessary to finance r c critical utilities infrastructure, such as replacing the Semper Water Treatment Facility. Do you agree with that analysis by W C city staff? If not, why? What we do know is that we were told for years that the city’s water SEE WATER, P26

Candidates: Kathleen Dodaro D.C. I also served on the human services board for Westminster and on the Adams County Open Space Board. In addition, I served as president of the National Disability Management Employer’s Coalition and, for over 5 years, functioned as an active member of the advisory board for curriculum development for Community Colleges of Denver. Why do you want to serve on Westminster City Council? I want to serve on Council because I care about Westminster and the residents. I listen to peoples’ stories, and I hear their concerns and fears. People who have called Westminster their home for most of their life, just like me. I never intended to be running for office right now, but I know a change is needed and I am compelled to serve. What is your position on water rates in Westminster? We need to reduce rates and hold developers accountable to pay more equitable tap fees and infrastructure development. We also need to control spending through the budget where money is being wasted so that we can appropriately direct funds to the most critical needs in the city. What do you understand of Jon Voelz’s

position on water rates? Based on your understanding of his position on water rates, W do you think he deserves to be recalled for a it? If so, why? a Jon had the opportunity to vote H to reduce rates last year and voted to continue on the current path of increased rates. The citizens of West- d minster decided that Jon needed to w be recalled. This bi-partisan group of e citizens put in incredible amounts of P time and their own money to stand upo for themselves and their fellow citi- d zens and recall all the councilors who m refused to represent their will. Jon was only one of the councilors who s they petitioned to recall, but because of various circumstances was, the only one who’s position is going to a special election. If Jon Voelz is recalled and you are elected in his place, what would be your goals as a member of Westminster City Council? My main goals are to elicit the feedback and involvement of bi-partisan resident groups, board, and commissions as well as business owners, be transparent and take the steps necessary to thoroughly review decisions, review the city salary structure, reduce water rates, preserve our suburban lifestyle by making common sense decisions when it comes to growth and crime.

Groups: Defend Westminster Campaign finance records and a Q&A with a group organizer Financial Report Since May, Defend Westminster has raised $9,030 and spent $52, according to the group’s only campaign finance report that has been posted to the city’s website. The largest donation Defend Westminster received was from the Colorado Democratic Party for $3,400.

The second largest donations were for $1,000, one from the local pipefitters union — which represents plumbers, fitters and welders — and the other from Clara Banzin, a Westminster resident. Three of the five Adams County commissioners donated to Defend Westminster, Steven O’Dorisio, Emma Pinter and Eva Henry, all of whom are Democrats. Adams County Democratic Party Chair Lori Goldstein gave, as did chair of the Clear Creek Democratic Party, Larry Pyers, and secretary of the Arapahoe County Democratic Party, Melissa Garland.

Carol Campbell, vice chair of the Adams County Democratic Party, is listed as Defend Westminster’s registered agent. Former Westminster City Councilor Sheela Mahnke donated to Defend Westminster, and candidates running for city council in November 2021, Sarah Nurmela and Obi Ezeadi, also did. Some out-of-state people gave to the anti-recall campaign, including an attorney from Indiana and a film editor from Brooklyn, N.Y. Q&A with Carol Campbell, organizer with Defend Westminster

Window: What’s this recall election about? Carol Campbell: This recall election is an attempt to take over our City Council in an unusual, middle of the summer election when we have regularly scheduled elections in November. Self-interested partisan special interests like Scott Gessler and Bruce Baker are wasting more than $250,000 in taxpayer money to push their radical agenda here in Westminster. Jon Voelz has only voted against SEE DEFEND, P26

Candidates: Jon Voelz Question about Voelz that voters are making a decision about in recall election: Should he be recalled from office?

Window: Tell us a little about yourself and involvement in the community. Jon Voelz: I live with my partner and miniature schnauzer in the Hyland Greens East neighborhood. In addition to my bachelor’s degree in political science, I went back to graduate school and earned a masters certificate in Public Management. I was previously elected town council President in my old hometown before moving to Westminster. After moving to Westminster several years ago I immediately

got involved in the community. I worked at every neighborhood and open space volunteer clean up I could find. Eventually, I applied for and was appointed to our city’s inclusivity board. I served on that board for a few years before my serVoelz vice on city council. I have always enjoyed public service at the local level. Why do you want to continue serving on Westminster City Council? We have made great progress in the past few years, but there is still a lot to do. On open space land acquisition, I worked hard to get $1½

million added to this year’s budget, while continuing to maintain a high level of maintenance on the land we already have. I am proud of my record supporting all requests by our police and fire departments to make sure they have the best equipment and training. I have also supported the police department as it continues to work on reforms and responding to recently passed state laws. I also want to continue supporting the work to make our city welcoming and inclusive where everyone feels encouraged to participate. What is your position on water rates in Westminster? We have spent more than a year

discussing water rates, including several special study sessions dedicated to this one topic. What I would like to hear now is; what is the plan from the recall supporters to address our aging water and sewer infrastructure and how do they plan to replace our old water treatment plant that is at the end of its service. The recall election ballot language says you should be recalled for your “failure to support lower water rates in Westminster.” How do you respond to that? The statement is ridiculous and misleading.

An 8th Congressional District is good for Metro North CROSS CURRENTS

Bill Christopher

Let’s hear it for the newly proposed 8th Congressional District! The initial unveiling of the congressional districts map by the Colorado Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission really didn’t have very many surprises. Given Colorado’s fast growth during the past decade and 745,000 additional folks has caused the need for an eighth district. Under the proposed boundaries, the 8th District would include the cities of Thornton, Westminster, Broomfield, Brighton, Commerce City, Firestone, Federal Heights and Arvada. While more detail is needed to see exactly where the eighth boundaries would fall, it would seem that Firestone -- and Arvada to some degree -- would be better aligned with adjacent cities in their immediate areas.

This initial configuration is bound to be modified along the process. However, the composition of northern suburban cities produces a solid community of interest which is one of the key criteria when drawing congressional and state legislative district boundaries. It will be a benefit for the northern metro area cities to be clustered together.

Shelf awareness leads to summer getaways

. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, “And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things QUIET grow fast in the DESPERATION movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with summer.” What better way is there to embrace summer than to walk a book to the Craig Marshall bedroom, backSmith yard, or beach and, albeit temporarily, leave this often troubled world and discover other lives, places, and adventures? Choosing what to read can be overwhelming. Bookstores are brimming with books. Libraries too. My grocery store sells books. Ever helpful, I thought I’d provide some suggestions in the form of a quiz. All of the summaries (get it?) below refer to books and plays that take place entirely or partially in one or more summers, including a shameless self-promotion. The answers are given at the end of the column. 1. Fitzgerald’s quote comes from which one of his novels? The one about a character named Gatsby or a character named Gatsby? 2. Demetrius and Lysander both want Hermia. With Nick Bottom,

Tom Snout and Snug. 3. In New Orleans, Mrs. Violet Venable asks a doctor to perform a lobotomy on her niece. (In the film version, Venable was portrayed by Katharine Hepburn.) 4. Take me out to the ballgame. This is a book written by a sportswriter named Kahn. 5. It’s 1942. Hermie, fifteen, is obsessed with an older woman. She’s twenty-two. 6. The final summer of a small town south of Denver before it is scheduled to be demolished on Halloween. A witty art professor, one of the town’s lone remaining residents, manages a general store, becomes involved in a captivating mystery right out of Sherlock Holmes without the British accents. A bookstore that holds a secret, and a dachshund named William. (Hot off the press.) 7. “A delightfully candid memoir about her journey from singing in a Boston church to her unexpected reign as the Queen of Disco.” This, by the way, is a trick question. 8. First published in 1958, this book begat a film that begat a theme song by Percy Faith that was, unfortunately, a Number One hit for nine weeks in 1960. 9. “Carmen got the jeans at a thrift store.” Then the jeans go on a journey. 10. Ray Bradbury, best known for “Fahrenheit 451,” wrote this book about a twelve-year-old boy’s “magical, timeless summer.” Every spring, newspapers, magazines, and bookstores

provide book lovers with lists of books that promise to be perfect summer companions. Generally — not always — the recommended books are new. I prefer old friends. 1. “The Great Gatsby,” a far better book than movie. 2. William Shakespeare’s play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Neither film version recommended. 3. Tennessee Williams’ play, “Suddenly, Last Summer,” is very intense. 4. “The Boys of Summer,” Roger Kahn’s non-fiction book about baseball before performanceenhancing drugs. 5. “Summer of ‘42” by Herman Raucher. 6. “Welcome to Earle,” written by Craig Marshall Smith. Available at Amazon. 7. “Ordinary Girl: The Journey.” Donna Summer’s biography. 8. “A Summer Place” by Sloan Wilson. 9. “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” is a series of young adult novels by Ann Brashares. 10. “Dandelion Wine,” published in 1957, it takes place in 1928. Mungo Jerry: “In the summertime when the weather is high, you can chase right up and touch the sky.” (Mungo Jerry’s name comes from a T.S. Eliot poem.)

Conviction cures complacency As a big believer in the less-ismore approach, I find three-word statements to be powerful in their meaning, easy to remember, and in most cases impactful when applied. “Less is more,” three simple words that when we put them together, WINNING make so much sense WORDS while keeping us focused. Other powerful three-word statements such as “I love you,” “I’ve got you,” “You are forgiven” and “Just do it” are motivating and we immediately Michael Norton get their meaning. We can apply them in appropriate situations, both in our personal lives and in our professional work. The three-word headline of this

confirmation of the electoral count for president, Democrats carried the day in a 222-190 vote. This despicable event, an actual attack on the people’s House, cannot and should not be swept under the congressional carpet. American citizens have a right to know what all happened, who all was involved in the planning and execution of the attack and who were the leaders. What role did former President Trump play in the insurrection? While Republican congressional members would love to wish the whole event away, it isn’t going away. Their party, their followers, their president all must face the facts and the ensuing consequences. The Jan. 6 insurrection was a direct attack on American democracy, and it must be defended. Northglenn has its eye on its new recreation center There is much excitement gathering as the city of Northglenn heads into the final months of construction to complete its new recreation center, senior center and theater. The 87,887-square-foot facility is slated to open in early October. The new building is behind City Hall just south of the existing recreation center. The new center includes a swimming pool, fitness areas, gymnasium, events and performances, preschool and arts and culture programming. This is the second of three new facilities to be built under their previous master plan. A new police and municipal court building was completed in the first phase, and a new City Hall is envisioned at some point, part of a proposed third phase. City leaders are to be congratulated for their progressive vision and efforts. State legislatures impacting minority voters’ voting rights Over the past few months, we have seen a growing trend of anti-minority voting restrictions being enacted by Republican-controlled state legislatures. This is coming as a deliberate strategy by the GOP to thwart people of color from being able to

column is a subject I have been speaking about lately with customers, groups, and even family and friends. And these three words started resonating with me as conversations with people from all walks of life and types of businesses had similar experiences that were either happening within them personally, witnessed in their company, or as a general complaint or observation about the level of service they were receiving. That word is complacency. If you haven’t experienced this yet yourself, I encourage you to put it to the test. Are you or those around you, those you work with, or the businesses you frequent just going through the motions? Does it feel any different than when we strived for excellence, pursued new goals, or worked hard to create raving fans and loyal customers in the past? I had the opportunity to sit with

a team of executives as they were about to launch a new service through their existing business. They asked me for my opinion about what I had heard and seen, and if I saw any blind spots. Instead of answering immediately, I asked the group the following questions, “Will this service change lives?” And “Will this service be a large part of the future of the company?” The answers to both questions were “Yes.” My third question was this, “Are you convicted?” The good news was that there was no hesitation on the part of the executive team, they all responded in word, tonality, and body language that they were absolutely convicted that this new service could change lives and it was going to be a very big part of where they were taking the company. The trickle-down effect was also very impressive. As I met others inside the organization, the feeling

of conviction was palpable. Everyone was energized about their work. They were anxious to work on the development of the program, they were enthusiastic when doing research, and thrilled to be talking to existing customers and new prospects about what was being developed. This level of conviction cured any signs of complacency. How about you? Has complacency taken up residence in your life? Are your employees or company running on complacency instead of conviction? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we choose to cure complacency through conviction, it really will be a better than good year.

vote in the upcoming elections, i.e. 2022 mi-term and 2024 presidential elections. As a part of his continuing theme that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him due to fraud, former President Donald Trump is stoking the flames to tear apart the historic 1965 Federal Voting Act. He and his followers in state legislatures don’t give a damn about African-Americans or Latino/Latina voters being maneuvered away from the ballot box or polling place. They simply see them as the “enemy” or “opposition” and throw out any commitment to “equal opportunity” or “all men are created equally.” It’s vindictive, unethical and unfair to deny people a full measure of their voting rights. Plus, there has not been any fraud of any degree for Trump and the GOP to point to among their conspiracy theories. It’s a gun that isn’t and won’t be smoking!

filibuster in the Senate, the Democrats aren’t able to muster 60 votes or more to pass such legislation. It looks pretty bleak at least in the short run to turn these anti-minority voting restrictions around.

Supremes decision impacts minority voting rights At the same time, the U.S. Supreme Court announced its decision in the Arizona voting rights case at the end of its session. While the two specific provisions of the Arizona law which were upheld by the high court are not fatal blows to minority voting rights, the message with this decision is quite concerning. The two provisions pertain to discarding ballots cast in the wrong precinct and disallowing ballot harvesting or collecting and returning a number of ballots. The bigger concern is Justice (Samuel) Alito’s statement of “where a state provides multiple ways to vote, any burden imposed on voters who choose one of the available options cannot be evaluated without also taking into account the other available means.” Upholding the Arizona case, the high court imposes a chilling effect on either the Department of Justice or state Democratic Party organizations attempting to knock down tighter Republican voting rights legislation. In turn, that puts more pressure on the Democrats in Congress to attempt to pass national voting rights laws. Without doing away with the

orseback riding offers a great way to get fresh air and exercise for some folks. Others love it because they love the animals themselves. But Noah Montgomery and Simon Glasser come to Loveland’s Hearts & Horses Therapeutic Riding Center as a regular part of their therapy. Riding horses, caregivers say, helps them physically and helps improve their quality of

life. Montgomery is 6 years old with cerebral palsy ataxia and has been riding since he was 3. Glasser is 5, diagnosed with a disease called Duchenne muscular dystrophy, who has been riding since preschool. Ashley Montgomery, Noah’s mom, said it’s something he looks forward to. “He loves riding Xellie and is probably one of the highlights of his week. It’s awesome they have a program for people like Noah.”

Justine Mathis, who babysits for Glasser, agreed. “This program makes him feel good and helps with some of the strain,” she said. Hearts & Horses is a therapeutic riding facility established in 1997. It was founded by a group of volunteers who were working at a previous therapeutic riding center after it closed. “A group of volunteers got together and decided there’s still a need for this and got something started. We were founded and ran by vol-

unteers for many years, and it’s a nonprofit registered 501(c)(3),” said Summer Alameel, development and communications manager of Hearts & Horses. Hearts & Horses helps an estimated 1,000 participants per year. With a quarter of a century of experience with special-needs riders, the center provides a special kind of therapy for people from ages 3 to 99. “The services we provide for are SEE HORSES, P15

Shanna Shelby, curator of exhibitions with the City and County of Denver’s Arts and Venues department, is still getting used to things returning to some kind of normal. “It was really emotionally devastating to not have artwork on the wall for so long (at the McNichols Civic Center Building),” Shelby said. “Everyone is really excited to see the building reopened and to see artwork on the walls.

3) and All-Star Alliance: Denver’s CrossCultural Muralists (through Oct. 3). According to provided information, Shades of Greatness (which will be on display on the first floor), is a critically acclaimed exhibition created with the Negro League’s Baseball Museum and tells the story of the historic organization. It features 35 original works of art produced by 28 artists from all over the country. The Black Love Mural Festival Remix (on display on the second floor) features artists from the Black Love Mural Festival’s lineup of creatives. They were invited to collaborate to create 30 new works to be displayed in the show. And the All-Star Alliance (presented on the third floor) highlights the works of some of Denver’s most wellknown muralists, like Casey Kawaguchi and LaDopa. The artists were commissioned by the MLB to create baseballthemed murals, and they will also display

their studio work. “The artists participating in some of these exhibits may not be trained, but the work is very powerful and impactful,” Shelby said. “And so positive.” Most curators spend months, and sometimes even years, planning and preparing for an exhibition, but with the All-Star Game’s surprise move to Denver, things had to move quickly. The gallery’s staff had been scattered due to the pandemic, but the exhibits were still prepared in time for the game. “Visually and thematically it all works really well together. And it’s a huge opportunity for these artists to be in front of so many because of the game,” Shelby said. “We’re all repairing, but it takes time. Curating exhibits has been a lifelong joy for me, so this is a very joyful return. I think SEE READER, P15

for post-traumatic stress disorder, cerebral palsy, autism and dementia. The participants are paired with horses in a structured therapeutic setting,” said Alameel. Groundbreaking research Alameel pointed to the Man O’ War Project at Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center, the first university-led research trial to establish guidelines for the application of equine-assisted therapy, or EAT, for treating veterans with PTSD and to examine the effectiveness of the new treatment for veterans. Hearts & Horses is part of that trial and Alameel said veterans in northern Colorado can gain access to this unique treatment option at no cost by working with Hearts & Horses. “This groundbreaking research project will provide the first clinical evidence of the effectiveness of (equine-assisted therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder) for treating veterans who suffer from PTSD,” Alameel said. Therapy trainer Rachel Karneffel has been teaching therapeutic riding for 20 years and has been with Hearts & Horses for more than six. She is certified with the International Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship. “Therapeutic riding or adaptive

riding has been something that people have known for a very long time that works,” Karneffel said. “We are doing autism studies here with our research at Colorado State University at the Temple Grandin Equine Center,” Karneffel said. “It proves what we already know, which is that horses are incredibly healing.” Karneffel said the one therapeutic feature about horses is how their body moves with their rider’s body, much like walking. That steady, swaying movement of the horse comes from all angles and directions. How that movement differs between horses makes them better for certain riders and more useful for certain therapies. “We try to match riders with a horse that has the movement closest to what they need, as well as the temperament,” she said. Simon Glasser, the boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, has some muscle weakness. The way the horses moved hurt his legs at first, making just sitting on the horse difficult. Eventually, however, it helped him. “The movement of the horse from side to side is moving his core to keep balanced, and moving his legs in a way that is similar to how he would be moving naturally,” said Karneffel. ‘Something incredible’ Hearts & Horses has one of the largest volunteer programs in Larimer County. Their numbers declined in 2020 due to COVID, tailers, fitness and wellness centers, hotels, home furnishing stores and more. There will be a number of deals available to shoppers on oneof-a-kind items, and even a prize of a $500 gift card.

but the group continued to have more than 200 active volunteers throughout the year. In any given year it could go up from 700 to 1,000 volunteers. David Erbeck is a Hearts & Horses volunteer and a retired firefighter for nearly 30 years. “It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever done. I got to be a part of something incredible, such as saving lives and rescues. I never cried in 30 years as a firefighter. It brings tears to my eyes — we’re saving people here and it’s amazing,” Erbeck said. There are 26 horses and a handful of them are therapy horses in training. There is extensive training involved for therapeutic riding and an animal’s temperament is key. As a therapy program, it’s important to have a horse that does not spook easily. There are other accommodations that must be made. Some of the riders use wheelchairs for mobility, so volunteers built a lift ramp to help riders get on and off the horse. In the outside area is a trail, called the “Trail of Discovery,” which they use for outdoor classes. It’s designed as a sensory trail for participants who have sensory issues such as autism spectrum disorder. For Montgomery, riding has taught him the process of doing something physical while also teaching him the benefit of having patience — something necessary to ride a horse. “If you can control 1,000-pound animals and get them to do what

you want in a kind, assertive, calm, relaxed way, you can do anything in your life. The magic of our students is to take those skills and bring them outside whether it’s physical, emotional, mental, and socially,” said Karneffel.

Community support Hearts & Horses receives donations from the community and also has one large annual event, the “Lucky Hearts” annual gala in October at the Embassy Suites in Loveland, which also includes a casino night. “We are currently looking for sponsors, corporate sponsors, family foundations and anyone who is looking to sponsor the event,” said Alameel. “It’s our primary source of funding for the year. We also have a lot of corporate support from individual donors giving $5 a month.” An average lesson is $95. Hearts & Horses recognizes that some riders cannot afford that, so the group fundraises for every lesson, up to $60, to offset the cost. Even with a reduced fee of $35, it’s a lesson some families cannot afford. So, an additional 56% is needed in financial support for some of the riders in a form of a scholarship. “We fundraise all of the money to make sure that we never turn a rider away because they can’t pay,” said Alameel. Hearts & Horses is at 163 N. CR 29, Loveland. For more information call 970-663-4200, ext. 307 or visit HeartsAndHorses.org.

Baseballists return to Westminster PHOTOS BY STEFAN BRODSKY

t was another sunny Westminster afternoon and the baseballists of the Westminster Lightning Bolts hosted the Star Base Ball Club of Colorado Territory for the 30th Annual Vintage Base Ball Game July 10 at the city’s Wolff Run. In the annual matchup, players in period-specific uniforms – which can include kilts, from time to time – face off against a visiting team using vintage rules.

Yampa River is harbinger of West’s dry future Harsh choices loom amid drought emergency, effects of climate change BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The first public warning sign that the Yampa River in northwest Colorado was running out of water came during a scorching summer three years ago. Cross Mountain Ranch, a sprawling cattle, guest and hunting operation near Maybell and the Yampa’s confluence with the Little Snake River, needed water to flood meadows for sheep and other livestock. But there was nothing left to divert into the ranch’s ditch at Lily Park. A state official’s snapshot from the time shows no Yampa there at all — just a gravel bar with a stagnant puddle at the base. The ranch may be far downriver, but it’s high in priority. Under Colorado water law, that means the ranch long ago secured water rights that are vastly senior to many other users on the river. So if the ranch needs it, the state water engineer has to put a “call” on the Yampa and tell junior holders upriver to stop using, letting their water flow on toward Cross Mountain and the Utah border. Yampa division engineer Erin Light did just that for the first time ever in 2018. She has an 80-page list

of descending water rights holders on the Yampa. The ranch is on page one. The easiest way to find enough water to meet the ranch’s rights was to call Craig Generating Station, a massive coal-fired electricity plant holding a variety of river rights and reservoir shares in the Yampa basin. The power station, managed by Tri-State Generation and owned by a variety of Western utilities, has been cooperative on water issues, Light said, and quickly sent more water downstream. Then it happened again in 2020. Drought. A nearly dry river by the time the Yampa neared Dinosaur National Monument. And an official state call. This year, the Yampa is looking severely troubled again. It’s no longer a fluke, but a trend. And so Light has asked her boss, state engineer Kevin Rein, to approve her 15-page memorandum and request declaring the Yampa officially “over appropriated.” Too many users have divided up the river’s dwindling water too many ways, and future ditch diggers and well drillers need to be warned. Dozens of new water rights applications hit the water court for Yampa claims every year, she added. Yampa not alone The Yampa isn’t the first Colorado river to suffer the indignity of an official declaration of over appropriation. In fact, most of the major rivers were divided too many ways

decades ago and therefore need to be managed down to the drop, from the South Platte on the Front Range, to the Arkansas and the Poudre. But the fact it’s happening to the Yampa, long running relatively wild and free through the thinly populated open range of northwest Colorado, is a clear danger sign, according to state officials and conservation groups. Drought in the short term and climate change in the long term are overlaid by relentless economic growth throughout Colorado, turning debates over water use from a distant worry into a current event. Finding enough water for Yampa Valley users will grow ever more challenging as the seven Western states in the Colorado River Compact approach deadlines for mandatory changes in how the river’s flow is distributed. The Yampa is one of many tributaries to the Colorado, running west to join the Green River in Dinosaur National Monument. The Green joins the Colorado at Canyonlands National Park in Utah, with the merged waters meant to fill drought-stricken Lake Powell, and farther downriver, Lake Mead at Hoover Dam. Under the compact, Lower Basin states on the Colorado, including Arizona and California, could demand that Colorado’s state water managers leave more volume in the river, in order to fulfill obligations to growing cities like Phoenix and Los Angeles. “I don’t have a crystal ball and I can’t predict the future,” Light said. “But certainly we are seeing a trend

of less and less supplies and greater demand, and the more we see the trend in that direction, the more this is going to be the norm.” The drought promises to make disruptive water-rights calls on the Yampa and other rivers more frequent. On July 1, Gov. Jared Polis made 2021’s super-dry reality official for the Western Slope, declaring 21 counties in a drought emergency. Federal drought monitoring maps showed nearly 30% of the state in extreme drought that week, including all of the northwest. “Mother Nature is telling us how it is,” said Mely Whiting, Colorado Water Project legal counsel for the conservation group Trout Unlimited. “We’re in a new territory here. At some point you’re using more water than you are allowed to use as population grows,” and recently, she said, it’s “happening way faster.” Light’s memo noted that water volume delivered by the river has fallen from a norm of 1.5 million acre-feet a year to 1.1 million acrefeet. At the U.S. Geological Survey’s Maybell gauge on the Yampa on July 2, the river flowed at about 340 cubic feet per second, less than 16% of the median figure for that day in 105 years of recordkeeping.

Wheat Ridge alum headed to Olympics From Stober Elementary to Tokyo Games, hometown girl makes good BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Annie Kunz, Wheat Ridge High School alumni and two-sport athlete at Texas A&M University, is headed to Tokyo to compete in the heptathlon after scoring a personal-best 6,703 points at a June 26 Olympic qualifying event in Eugene, Oregon. Kunz set personal records in six of the seven events in which she competed and broke the Olympic trials record in shot put with a throw of 15.73 meters. That record was previously held by Olympic champion Jackie Joyner-Kersee,

who rose to fame by winning two gold medals in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. In the final event of her qualifying meet, Kunz finished with a strong time of 2 minutes, 15.24 seconds in the 800 meters on a day when the thermometer reached a scorching 108 degrees. The temperature at the start of the race was still 96 degrees. According to the Texas Aggies website, Kunz’s previous careerbest heptathlon score was 6,153 points in 2019. In an interview with TexAgs. com the morning after qualifying, a still-overwhelmed Kunz said she was still emotional thinking of the accomplishment. “I have goosebumps just hearing you say ‘Olympian’ when you introduced me,” she said. “To see it all come to reality and live out this dream that I’ve literally had

since I could walk, is a dream come true.” She said when she crossed the finish line in the final event and saw her points score up on the results board, it was something she’d never thought would be attainable. “That’s when the emotion just took over, and I just thank God for the experience,” she said. Kunz also said she was grateful for the postponement (due to COVID) of the Olympics because of the extra year of valuable track and field training time. Soccer had been her primary sport in high school and college, and she said she’d always felt like she was behind her competitors in terms of training. With 14 people — family and friends — supporting her at the Oregon trials, Kunz said she didn’t have to look far for people with whom to share her excitement.

“I looked up (into the stands) and I see my family, and that’s when I just lost it again. I just could not be more happy than to celebrate with them,” she said. Kunz leaves for Tokyo July 26 and competes in the Heptathlon Aug. 4 and 5. She said she won’t be able to attend the opening ceremony due to heightened COVID protocols. “But with such a crazy year and so much talk about cancellation, I’m just grateful that we get to compete,” she said. “And honestly it might be the best thing for me. I can just think of it as a business trip and I’ll be able to focus a little bit more.” Kunz, who graduated from Wheat Ridge High School in 2011, was a 2016 graduate of Texas A&M. Her father, Terry, played for the Oakland Raiders and was part of their Super Bowl-winning team in 1976.

Waterman moves along, takes job in Boulder school district BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Harry Waterman, who ran the Riverdale Ridge High School athletic program for its first four years, accepted a job as director of athletics and activities for the Boulder Valley School District. He starts his new job Wednesday, July 14. “I’m excited for this new opportunity for my own personal growth,”

he said in an email to staff. “But I will certainly miss working with the exceptional teachers/coaches/sponsors/ people at the Ridge.” Before joining the Ravens, Waterman was an assistant commissioner at the Colorado High School Activities Waterman Association. He called the last four years “an incredible experience.”

“Collectively, we have made amazing growth and have set a foundation for future success,” his email said. “I challenge each and every one of you to continue to collaborate and support one another, while developing our students’ individual expertise, life skills, and character traits.

delivery system and infrastructure were in good shape and adequate to support future planned growth. Then suddenly it wasn’t. We also know that Westminster’s current water rates are unreasonably high and simply aren’t competitive with surrounding cities. We also know that the city is very good at marketing and delivering only the message that they want its residents to hear, including convincing some that the only way to ensure future clean drinking water is to make extraordinary financial sacrifices now.

city council at the time of the council vote on water rates that supposedly triggered the irregular July recall election. That vote on

The recall election was ultimately secured by a few signatures on Voelz’s recall petition. Meanwhile, it will cost the city up to $250,000 to run this recall election, which is for a council seat that is up for election in November. Do these facts challenge the justification for a recall election? The right to recall is a fundamental right of our democracy … $250,000 for a special election is a lot of money, but compared to what? Compared to the over $50 million that the city took in last year in water sales alone? Is Jon Voelz more concerned about saving residents money or in saving his job on city council? Clearly, it’s the latter, or otherwise, he would have resigned his position just like former mayor Atchison did. It was Jon Voelz’s choice whether to try to keep his posi-

tion by prevailing in a special election or whether to eliminate the expense and need for an election altogether by simply resigning. Both groups involved in the recall have received substantial support from outside the community. The Water Warriors hired former Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler, a Republican, as the group’s attorney. Defend Westminster has received donations from prominent politicians and political groups in the wider region, many of which are Democrat-affiliated. At this point, how much of this local dispute has stayed local? The Westminster Water Warriors group is supported entirely and solely by the financial contributions and tireless volunteer hours of hundreds

of Westminster residents of both political parties who are concerned about their excessive water bills and the direction their city seems to be going. While Defend Westminster has received most of its financial and legal support from Democrats outside the city, the Water Warriors have received absolutely no outside help save for the legal assistance that they paid for, which was only necessary because of mistakes made by the city clerk (in erroneously rejecting entire sets of petitions) and to defend against the superfluous protests and legal appeals that were subsequently made by the Jon Voelz team -- all of which only served to bleed the Water Warriors group of limited financial resources and to delay the recall election by six months.

City to live, work, and raise a family. His focus on getting much needed assistance to our small businesses and residents in need from the pandemic has greatly helped Westminster recover from the pandemic. Both groups involved in the recall have received substantial support from outside the community. The Water Warriors hired

former Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler, a Republican, as the group’s attorney. Defend Westminster has received donations from prominent politicians and political groups in the wider region, many of which are Democrat-affiliated. At this point, how much of this local dispute has stayed local? Defend Westminster is proud to have the support of Democrats,

Republicans, and Unaffiliated voters across Westminster in opposition to this wasteful recall. These extreme and divisive tactics have no place in Westminster when we should be working together to recover from COVID-19 and build back our city. We will make sure that Westminster voters understand the stakes of this election and vote NO by July 20th.

water rates occurred in 2018, and I did not join Council until January 2019. As a matter of fact, there have only been two votes on water rates since I joined council, and both times, once in 2020 and once in 2021, I have voted against the recommended water rate increases.

If you are not recalled, what will be your goals on Westminster City Council in the near future? I worked hard to get $1.5 million added to the open space land acquisition fund, so I would like to help with the process of adding to our open space land and trails. We have added nearly 1,000 units

of attainable/workforce housing while I have been on council. I would like to continue to find ways to provide attainable housing. I was instrumental in a neighborhood initiative to assist residents in creating tools to make sure their neighborhoods continue to be safe and thrive.

Decreed Source of Water. The source of water for all wells included in the Suncor Remediation Wellfield is groundwater tributary to Sand Creek, tributary to South Platte River. 4.4. Appropriation. Date May 23, 2013 4.5. Amount Decreed. 1,500 gpm total from all wells within the Suncor Remediation Wellfield, which includes the wells listed in paragraphs 4.1 through 4.2 above with no individual well to exceed 100 gpm and of which 580 gpm were decreed absolute in Case No. 12CW183, with the remaining 920 gpm decreed as conditional. 4.6. Well Operations. The wells that are part of the Suncor Remediation Wellfield are not exempt from administration under the priority system and are operated in accordance with the plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 12CW183, Water Division 1. 4.7. Decreed Use. The Suncor Remediation Wellfield is used for industrial purposes as part of groundwater remediation operations at Suncor’s Commerce City Refinery. The proposed area of use is depicted on Exhibit A. 5. Request for Finding of Reasonable Diligence: Suncor has undertaken numerous activities since the Court’s entry of the decree in Case No. 12CW183 to beneficially use the subject water right and to complete

the appropriation of the full amount of the subject water right. Suncor has continuously worked to maintain, repair, and improve specific wells and the refinery’s groundwater treatment system (“GWTS”) and industrial wastewater treatment system (“IWTS”) to ensure consistent operation of the Suncor Remediation Wellfield both now and in the future, including, but not limited to, the following specific work: 5.1. In 2015, Suncor replaced two existing wells, Conoco Wells R-20 and R-22, under Permit Nos. 042432-F-R and 042434-F-R, respectively. Suncor also constructed new piping conveyances for the replacement wells that allow pumped groundwater to be conveyed to either the GWTS or IWTS for treatment. 5.2. In 2016, Suncor installed new groundwater pumping equipment, electrical connections, and transmission lines for Conoco Wells R-20 and R-22. 5.3. In December 2017, Suncor consolidated Outfalls 002 and 003 into a single outfall to Sand Creek as required by Suncor’s discharge permit (Permit No. CO0001147). One purpose of this project is to allow for treatment of greater amounts of groundwater from the Suncor Remediation Wellfield. 5.4. In early 2018, Suncor began construction activities to recommission Conoco Wells R-1 through R-5, including updates to existing piping and installation of new piping conveyances that allows pumped groundwater to be conveyed to either the GWTS or IWTS. These activities also included the replacement of pumps, motors, and drop pipes for those wells. Later in 2018, Suncor commenced pumping groundwater from Conoco Wells R-1 through R-5. 5.5. In September and November 2018, Suncor mechanically re-developed 18 wells to improve well efficiency. This included screen scrubbing, sand bailing, and pumping. 5.6. In 2019 and 2020 Suncor has engaged in ongoing repairs of the pumps and motors of wells in the Suncor Remediation Wellfield. Suncor has also continued to clean and improve membranes in the IWTS to increase flow through the system and increase the amount of groundwater from the Suncor Remediation Wellfield that can be treated. 5.7. Suncor also intends to undertake additional work in the near future to re-develop and improve the efficiency and flow from multiple Suncor Remediation Wellfield wells, particularly as Suncor will need to increase pumping to treat emerging contaminants. Suncor has performed engineering evaluations during the diligence period in preparation for this work. 5.8. During the diligence period (June 2015 through June 2021) Suncor has engaged Applegate Group, Inc. at a cost of approximately $16,200.00 to assist with the accounting and projection requirements associated with the Suncor Remediation Wellfield Water Right and plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 12CW183. 5.9. During the diligence period Suncor has also engaged attorneys and consultants to assist with water quality discharge permitting. The terms and conditions of Suncor’s discharge permit directly impact the amounts of water from the Suncor Remediation Wellfield that can be discharged to Sand Creek. These activities constitute reasonable diligence in the development of the conditional portion of the Suncor Remediation Wellfield Water Right. Suncor intends to place this water right to its decreed beneficial use. 6. Owner of Land Upon Which Structures are Located: Applicant. WHEREFORE, Suncor respectfully requests the Court to enter findings and a decree confirming that Suncor has exercised diligence toward completion of the appropriation for the decreed use and continuing the conditional portion of the Suncor Remediation Wellfield Water Right in full force and effect for another six-year diligence period, and granting such other relief as the Court deems just and proper.

South Platte River - Downstream Point: At the confluence of Little Dry Creek and the South Platte River in the NE1/4 of Section 12, T2N, R67W. 3.2. Water rights to be used for replacement: In addition to water diverted pursuant to the priorities identified in Paragraph 2.1.6., Aurora may substitute any fully consumable water derived from the exercise of the rights identified on Exhibit D hereto, including without limitation treated municipal effluent and lawn irrigation return flows resulting from a previous use of such water, to meet its Replacement Obligations. 3.3. Water to meet Replacement Obligations will be released at or upstream from the downstream calling water right(s) entitled to divert such replacement water. To the extent water is released to meet Replacement Obligations upstream from the location at which return flows historically accrued to the stream, appropriate transit losses will be assessed. To the extent fully consumable water derived from water rights other than the Subject Water Rights is released to meet Replacement Obligations, an equivalent amount of water diverted pursuant to the Subject Water Rights and attributable to historical return flow will become fully consumable and may be used by Aurora for the Changed Uses. 3.4. The locations from which Aurora may release water pursuant to this plan are the following: 3.4.1. The Outfall of the Aurora Sand Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, also known as the Sand Creek Water Reuse Facility, located on Sand Creek in the NW1/4 SE1/4 of Section 26, Township 3 South, Range 67 West, 6th P.M, Adams County, Colorado. 3.4.2.

3.6. Use of Water. The Water Rights decreed herein are for use by ACWWA and separate use by ECCV for all municipal uses, including replacement, recharge, and substitute supply, as described in paragraphs 7 and 42 of the 306 Decree, within their separate respective service areas located in Arapahoe and Douglas Counties (ACWWA) and Arapahoe County (ECCV), as those service areas now exist or may exist in the future. When ACWWA and ECCV are replacing all depletions associated with pumping from the wells in the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field, ACWWA and ECCV shall have the right to use, reuse, and successively use the pumped water within their respective service areas to extinction, subject to the limitations of paragraph 9.1 of the 3165 Decree. 4. Detailed outline of work done for the completion of the conditional appropriation for reasonable diligence. ECCV’s unified, integrated system for the diversion, accretion, collection, storage, transmission, and treatment of water rights (the “Water Supply Project”) was originally designed to provide ECCV with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supply for its service area. In order to implement the Water Supply Project, ECCV, United, and the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company entered into a Water Supply Agreement, dated December 18, 2003, which was amended in May 2007. On December 15, 2009, ACWWA, United, and ECCV entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement to provide for ACWWA’s participation with ECCV and United in the Water Supply Project (“Flow Project”). The Water Supply Project is now designed to provide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supply for their respective service areas located in Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Colorado. The conditional water rights confirmed in the 3165 Decree and claimed herein are part of the Water Supply Project, which provide water within ECCV’s and ACWWA’s present and future service area. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92301(4)(b), for purposes of demonstrating diligence, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of all water rights conditionally decreed herein and shall constitute diligence toward the development of each of the

conditional water rights decreed herein. During the diligence period ECCV and ACWWA have done, at a minimum, the following work towards completion or for completion of the appropriations and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed (expenditure numbers are rounded to the nearest $1,000): 4.1. Legal Fees. Legal fees in the amount of $4,000,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in ECCV’s and ACWWA’s adjudicatory proceedings for the appropriation of new water rights and changes to existing water rights for the Water Supply Project and Flow Project, and water rights protection and opposition. 4.2. Engineering Costs. Engineering costs in the amount of $2,141,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in connection with ECCV’s Water Supply Project and $1,894,000.00 in connection with ACWWA’s Flow Project, to perform water rights modeling, exchange potential modeling, appropriation of new water rights, changes to existing water rights, water rights protection and opposition, and water rights accounting. 4.3. Additional Replacement Supplies. ECCV and ACWWA have filed applications and obtained decrees in the cases listed below to increase the replacement supplies available under its augmentation plan decrees and facilitate increased diversions in the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field, to add storage facilities and recharge locations, and to add exchanges to aid in moving its replacement water to its places of beneficial use. 4.3.1. Case No. 03CW200, amended application filed January 3, 2012; decree entered September 23, 2016. 4.3.2.

Case Nos. 20CW3160 and 20CW3161; applications filed October 30, 2020; cases currently pending. 4.4.Water System Development. During the diligence period, United, on behalf of ECCV and ACWWA, has developed and acquired infrastructure for Phase II of the Water Supply Project (“Phase II”), including but not limited to mining United Reservoir No. 3; acquiring Milliken Reservoir in August 2015; completing construction of 70 Ranch Reservoir in July 2019; acquiring Holton Lake in September 2019 and completing construction of Holton Lake in June 2021; commenced construction of the Serfer Augmentation Station in 2021; in and securing easement deeds and agreements for structures necessary to deliver water to ECCV and ACWWA. During this diligence period ECCV and ACWWA have been working on Phase II, which will allow ECCV to deliver up to 14.75 million gallons of renewable water to customers each day and ACWWA to deliver up to 5.25 million gallons of renewable water to customers each day, whereby reducing dependency on non-renewable wells. Phase II also included expansion of the Northern Water Treatment RO Plant (2018-2020) and the North and South Booster Pump Stations (2018-2019), and construction of Deep Injection Well II (2018). The total estimated cost of the Phase II infrastructure is $60 million for an additional 10 million gallons of pumping and treatment capacity. The Booster Pump Stations are approximately $25 million and the NWTP Expansion is approximately $35 million.

Section 3. Section 11-4-14, W.M.C. is hereby REPEALED AND REENACTED to read as follows: 11-4-14: LAND USE REGULATIONS OF OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS: (A) PURPOSE: This Section is enacted to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare of all residents of the City and to safeguard the environment and wildlife resources in relation to oil and gas development. On April 16, 2019, the Governor signed Senate Bill 19-181 - Protect Public Welfare Oil and Gas Operations (“SB 19-181”) that grants municipalities more authority to regulate surface and nuisance impacts of oil and gas operations. SB 19181 permits municipalities to regulate the surface impacts of oil and gas operations through its land use and zoning powers in a reasonable manner to protect and “minimize adverse impacts” to public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and wildlife resource. “Minimize adverse impacts” means, to the extent necessary and reasonable, to protect public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources by avoiding adverse impacts from oil and gas operations and minimizing and mitigating the extent and severity of those impacts that cannot be avoided. SB 19-181 permits municipalities to enact regulations that address the following matters: siting and location of oil and gas operations; impacts to public facilities and services; water quality and source; noise; vibration; odor; light; dust; air emissions and air quality; land disturbance; reclamation procedures; cultural resources; emergency preparedness and coordination with first responders; security; traffic and transportation impacts; financial securities; indemnification and insurance to ensure compliance with the regulations; and, all other nuisance-type effects of oil and gas operations. To implement such powers and authority, SB 19181 specifically gives municipalities additional authority to: inspect all facilities subject to regulation; impose fines for leaks, spills, and emissions; and, impose fees on operators or owners to cover the reasonably foreseeable direct and indirect costs of permitting and regulation and the costs of any monitoring and inspection program necessary to address the impacts of development and to enforce municipal requirements. Prior to the adoption of SB 19-181, State law preempted municipalities from adopting laws that were in operational conflict with rules for oil and gas development set forth in either the Oil and Gas Conservation Act or in the rules and regulations of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (“COGCC”). As the oil and gas industry seeks to obtain the necessary land use approvals relating to its extraction of mineral resources in and around populated areas, it has begun encroaching on residential areas. Accidents related to oil and gas development have highlighted the risks associated with this industrial activity. As such, the City is hereby implementing amended regulations for oil and gas operations and exercising all the authority granted to it under SB 19-181 in a manner to protect and minimize adverse impacts to public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and wildlife resource within the City. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as giving the City authority to enforce State or federal laws, rules, or regulations. (B) DEFINITIONS: All terms used in this Section that are defined in the Act or in the COGCC rules and regulations and are not otherwise defined in this Section shall have the same meaning as provided in the Act or in such rules and regulations

as of the effective date of this Section.

approved plans.

(a) There is no technology commercially available at a reasonable cost to conduct the proposed oil and gas operation in compliance with the provision, and granting a variance from the operation of the provision will not have an adverse effect on the public health, safety, or welfare, the environment, or wildlife resources. (b) An alternative approach not contemplated by the provision is demonstrated to provide a level of protection of the public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources that would be at least equivalent to the applicable provision.

(P) SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN: If the City believes the operator has violated a condition of the ODP or that there are material changes in the approved oil and gas facility, the City after investigating, may, for good cause, temporarily suspend the ODP. Upon oral or written notification, the operator shall cease operations immediately. As a condition precedent to terminating the ODP, the City shall provide written notice to the operator specifying, in reasonable detail, the failure and the remedy required. The operator shall then have a period of forty-five (45) days in which to remedy the failure, or if the failure is of a nature that cannot be remedied within that forty-five (45)day period, the operator shall have commenced to remedy the failure and shall diligently complete the remedy. City authorization is required to restart facilities that have been suspended under an ODP. If operator fails to remedy a material default in the manner set forth above, upon written notice, the City may terminate the ODP and revoke any or all approvals for operations of the subject oil and gas facilities. Upon such revocation, the operator shall cease operating such oil and gas facilities, except those mitigation and remediation measures necessary to address the violations, until it obtains approval for such wells under the then-applicable Code.

(3) Grounds for a variance from Section 11-414(F)(5), W.M.C. A variance from the application of Section 11-4-14(F)(5), W.M.C. may be granted if City Council finds, after a hearing, that the proposed oil and gas location and conditions of approval will provide substantially equivalent protections for public health, safety, welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources. (L) TRANSFER OF OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN: Official Development Plans may be assigned to another operator only with the prior written consent of the Director and upon a showing to the City that the new operator can and will comply with all conditions of the transferred ODP and with all of the applicable provisions of this Section. The existing operator shall assign the ODP to the new operator on a form provided by the City and the new operator shall also sign the form agreeing to comply with all of the conditions of the ODP and all applicable provisions of this Section.

construction, alteration, or use. The enforcement provisions of this Section shall apply to all ODPs approved pursuant to this Section. (S) FALSE OR INACCURATE INFORMATION: The Director may revoke approval of an ODP if it is determined after an administrative hearing, held on at least ten (10) days’ notice to the applicant, that the applicant provided information or documentation upon which the approval was based, which the applicant, its agents, servants, and employees, knew, or reasonably should have known, was materially false, misleading, deceptive, or inaccurate. (T) SEVERABILITY: If any provision of this Section is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the remaining provisions of this Section shall remain valid, it being the intent of the City that the provisions of this Section are severable. (U) PROSPECTIVE APPLICATION: Unless specifically provided otherwise, this Section shall apply only to wells which are drilled in the City on and after the date this Section is adopted. The reentering of a well in existence prior to the date of adoption of this Section, for purposes of deepening, recompleting, or reworking, shall not require approval of an ODP as required by this Section, unless such work requires a new or modified permit from COGCC. (V) ABANDONMENT AND PLUGGING OF WELLS: The approval of an ODP shall not relieve the operator from complying with all COGCC rules and regulations with respect to abandonment and plugging of wells. The operator shall provide the City with COGCC Form 4 at the time that it is filed with the COGCC. (W) APPLICATION, INSPECTION, MONITORING AND FACILITY FEES: When an application is submitted to the City for an ODP under this Section, the applicant shall pay to the City a five thousand-dollar ($5,000.00) oil and gas application review fee for each facility.
