He also thanked South Suburban management and staff. Mr. Lorenz added, this is a well recognized national award.

Mr. Ostermiller noted the excellent rating that South Platte Park received in the recent Littleton residents’ survey (December 2014). New employees introductions Mrs. Heyn introduced Mindy Albert, who has transferred from Athletics to Administration recently. Members welcomed her.

Mrs. Heyn, Designated Election Official presented the results. She congratulated the Board and staff involved in the effort of the election for its great success. This election was run by the three clerks of the three resident counties (Arapahoe, Douglas, and Jefferson). Arapahoe County residents (and includes non-resident property owners, all counties) Yes 32,643 No 27,456 60,099 Douglas County residents Yes 4,005 No 4,895 8,900 Jefferson County residents Yes 575 No 645 1,220 TOTALS, Yes 37,223 No 32,996 70,219 ALL COUNTIES, BY PERCENT OF TOTAL VOTES Yes 53.01% No 46.99% Margin 6.02% SSPRD Regular Meeting No. 830, December 10, 2014 Page 3 MINUTES Staff will present additional data and the final costs of the election to share at a future session. Boardmembers expressed interest in receiving the turnout figures by precinct. Mrs. Rosser asked if results could be correlated to voters’ proximity to major recreation centers. Mrs. Eller reported on a conversation with a gentleman who is involved in local campaigns. He congratulated the District on the passage of the 2-mill question, in a rather questionable environment; he thought it was a well run campaign, and the pro- citizens’ committee developed an excellent flyer. She asked senior staff to pass on the compliments to the citizens’ leadership and other staff. Boardmembers thanked District staff for their hard work. Mr. Ostermiller added, it was an election of several “firsts,” including the state-wide mail ballot election. After the Board reviews the costs by county, they may want to consider having the counties run all District elections in the future. MRS. ELLER MOVED TO ACCEPT THE FINAL RESULTS OF THE NOVEMBER 4, 2014 REGULAR ELECTION, FOR TABOR QUESTION # 4C, WHICH PASSED BY A MARGIN OF 6.02%. Mrs. Rosser seconded the motion. There was no further discussion, and the motion passed unanimously (5- 0). (Copies of the three counties’ final results (Board of Canvassers’ reports) are attached hereto and made part of the permanent record.) Mill levies certification Linda Addison asked for the Board’s approval of the three counties’ certifications. District Finance staff has received final results. The final assessed valuation is slightly down from preliminary assessed valuations. She reviewed the current breakdown and estimated tax revenue in 2015: Operating 4.417 mills, generating $10,142,006 Open Space and Trails 1.000 mills, generating $2,296,130 New 2 Mills 1.976 mills, generating $4,537,153 Refunds and Abatements 0.053 mills generating $121,695 Debt Service 1.362 mills, generating $3,700,550, for a total of 8.808 mills. The total estimated receivable, less estimated abatements and other adjustments, is $20, 797,534. MR. ANDERSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO SET MILL LEVIES AND CERTIFICATION OF TAX LEVIES. Mr. LaBrash seconded the motion. There were no questions, and the motion was approved unanimously (5-0). (Copies of the Arapahoe, Douglas, and Jefferson county resolutions are attached hereto and made part of the permanent record.) Mary Carter Greenway sign design/sign standards discussion Brett Collins introduced Kristin Cypher, president and owner of C+B Design LLC. Brett asked Boardmembers to provide comments to incorporate into the final plan and give staff directions for moving forward. The next step following this presentation will be to develop an implementation plan, initially considering funds available for 2015 signage improvements. Brett briefly reviewed the history of the project and the development process, which included several events with the public and staff-to-staff meetings. The District has been working with the City for several months. C+B Design LLC was engaged by the City of Littleton to consult on and design a new signage system for the City, including the Mary Carter Greenway and Littles Creek trailways within the City. The City has paid the SSPRD Regular Meeting No. 830, December 10, 2014 Page 4 MINUTES C+B’s costs in full. The Littleton City Council is supportive of the plan and process to go forward. The City’s goal is to get people off the trail and into local businesses. The District has $37,500 allocated in the 2015 budget for sign upgrades. The City is planning to provide $112,500 specifically for this project. The South Platte Working Group may match 50% with Arapahoe County Open Spaces funds, for a possible total budget of $225K in 2015, about one-third the total estimated cost for the pilot project. The cost for this sign system will be substantially more than what has been spent in the past; however, the project can be phased, and the staff and consulting group can set priorities and decide in future years whether they want to extend the system to local parks, or even District-wide.

    Department of Health Care Policy and Financing 1570 Grant Street Denver, CO 80203 February 1, 2018 The Honorable Joann Ginal, Chair Health, Insurance, and Environment Committee 200 E. Colfax Avenue Denver, CO 80203 Dear Representative Ginal: Enclosed please find a legislative report to the House Health, Insurance, and Environment Committee from the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing on the Colorado Indigent Care Program (CICP) and Primary Care Fund. Section 25.5-3-107, C.R.S. requires the Department to prepare an annual report concerning the status of the medically indigent program to be submitted to the health and human services committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives no later than February 1 of each year. In FY 2016-17, more than 49,000 low-income Coloradans received discounted health care services through the CICP. In April 2017, the Department made changes to the CICP through the rule making process after more than 12 months of work with stakeholders. These changes included updated requirements for providers and clients alike, the addition of quality metrics into the payment calculation for participating clinics, and the creation of a formal Advisory Council. These changes have lessened the administrative burden on the CICP providers while maintaining the safety net for the CICP clients. If you require further information or have additional questions, please contact the Department’s Legislative Liaison, Zach Lynkiewicz, at [email protected] or 720-854-9882.

  • October 23, 2020 to Whom It May Concern, This Morning, We Were
    October 23, 2020 To whom it may concern, This morning, we were sickened to learn of yet another disgusting transphobic attack on our colleague, Representative Brianna Titone. A robocall recorded by Representative Stephen Humphrey was sent out to the voters of House District 27 warning them of a “radical sexual agenda” that could harm “your wives and daughters.” This robocall is nothing more than transphobic garbage that propagates debunked and dangerous myths and creates more hatred and animosity toward those just trying to live their authentic lives. Let’s start by looking at Rep. Titone’s agenda. Over her two years in office, she has sponsored legislation to curb abusive practices by insurance companies, prevent price gouging during a pandemic, deprioritize test scores in college admissions, provide better behavioral health training for educators, improve the Safe2Tell program, support food banks, expand tax credits for affordable housing, limit rental application fees, encourage water conservation, and upgrade the state’s information technology systems. All of this legislation passed with bipartisan support. The only bill she’s sponsored even touching on LGBTQ issues was a bill to stop perpetrators of violence from getting away with a reduced sentence; the bill passed unanimously in the Senate and 63-1 in the House. In contrast, Rep. Humphrey has sponsored the same bills year after year to prohibit same-sex marriage, prohibit adoption by LGBTQ couples, and allow businesses to freely discriminate against LGBTQ families. If you want to know exactly how Rep. Humphrey feels about the LGBTQ community, go listen to the audio of the House State Affairs committee meeting on February 13, 2020.

    June 21, 2021 The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Majority Leader Schumer, Madam Speaker Pelosi, Minority Leader McConnell, and Minority Leader McCarthy, As state legislators, we are the day-to-day technicians in fifty unique laboratories of democracy. We do our part to make government work to the benefit of all, regardless of party. This was true during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when almost every state did its patriotic duty to provide voters relief and remove barriers to voting. This expansion of safe, secure voting led to an election with historic turnout. The scope of these state-level attacks is unparalleled. Close to 400 anti-voter bills have been introduced in legislatures across the nation, with many signed or on the way to becoming law in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona, and others. Make no mistake: these unpatriotic attacks on our elections will undermine confidence that elections in America can possibly represent the will of a checked and balanced majority. They present a deep threat to our democracy and will lead to material harm to communities that have long been under-represented. In a functioning democracy that fairly represents the voices of all people, elected officials should work together to expand the right to vote and protect the sanctity of elections. Indeed, we have attempted again and again to work with our Republican colleagues to set policies that safely and securely expanded voting access—but they simply refuse to act in good faith.

  • 2020 Election Recap
    2020 Election Recap CO goes blue federally Coloradans overwhelmingly supported the Democratic candidate for President, Joe Biden, and for Senate, John Hickenlooper. Incumbents keep most state seats In our catchment area of Douglas County, Arapahoe County, & the City of Aurora, we have 4 new legislators: Chris Kolker, David Ortiz, Naquetta Ricks, & Iman Jodeh. See page 3 for a full list of our local legislators. Democrats retain state control Democrats will continue to hold majorities in both the House and Senate at the state level. The executive branch is also held by Democratic Governor Jared Polis. A mixed bag on ballot measures Voters approved an income tax decrease, creation of a paid family leave program, and additional oversight of new enterprises. This indicates that Coloradans remain committed to populist values and direct democracy. Check out the Secretary of State's website for a full list of election results. 3 new County Commissioners In Arapahoe County, Commissioner Kathleen Conti lost to Carrie Warren-Gully. Douglas County welcomes George Teal who replaces term-limited Commissioner Roger Partridge. Adams County adds Lynn Baca to the seat vacated by Commissioner Mary Hodge. See all of our local County Commissioners on page 3. What this means for the I/DD world Local funds secured for essential services Coloradans voted to repeal the Gallagher Amendment (Amendment B). This is a big win for our community and other locally funded services like firefighters and schools. Repealing Gallagher prevents the loss of local mill levy funds that support programs, families, and providers in our communities. These funds are critical in meeting outstanding needs for people with developmental disabilities/delays and their families.

This report also includes voter turnout statistics and a directory of state and county elected officials. The Colorado Secretary of State’s Election Division staff compiled this information from materials submitted by Colorado’s 64 county clerk and recorders. Additional information is available at Accountability in Colorado Elections (ACE), available online at https://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/ACE/index.html. Without a doubt, the 2020 election year will be remembered as one of our state’s most unusual and most historic. After starting with the state’s first presidential primary in 20 years, we oversaw two major statewide elections amidst a global pandemic and the worst forest fires in Colorado’s history. Yet, despite those challenges, Colorado voters enthusiastically made their voices heard. We set state participation records in each of those three elections, with 3,291,661 ballots cast in the general election, the most for any election in Colorado history.
