In exchange, Xcel pays the city a franchise fee equal to 3 percent of gross revenue collected from Lafayette customers, an amount that currently is about $720,000 per year. The group Lafayette’s Energy Future turned in a petition Aug. 6 for an alternate ballot measure that would replace the revenue from the franchise agreement with an occupation tax on Xcel for use of the rights of way. The tax would show up as a line item on Lafayette customers’ bills recognizes and essentially would be equal to the franchise fee the city receives from Xcel. Rather than putting that money Hover Senior Living Community toward the general fund, the money collected would be earmarked toward for making energy efficiency improvements city programs that would support the use of renewable energy. The occupation tax would go into effect only if the franchise renewal failed. If both passed, it’s written into the proposed occupation tax measure that the franchise renewal would prevail. “Twenty years seems like a mighty long time for anything these days, but especially for energy, which is changing so rapidly,” Lafayette’s Energy Future steering committee member Larry Miloshevich said. “It just seems prudent to keep our options open.” The city’s franchise agreement with Xcel expires in November. City law requires that residents vote whether to renew the franchise. If the franchise agreement is not renewed, Xcel would still serve the city but Lafayette would lose the franchise fee.

That’s why the school’s curriculum features daily physical education classes for all students, from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade – one of the few private or public school in Colorado to do so. Only 6 percent of schools nationwide have daily gym classes. “We feel it (physical education) is an important part that is missing from our educational system today,” said Tom Buckett. “In fact, we’ve had parents choose Mountain Peak because of our commitment to physical education.

SALT LAKE CITY – For Boulder- based outdoor-gear company Sea to Summit, Outdoor Retailer is its single- largest expenditure. For both the Sum- mer Market and the Winter Market each year, the company sets up a two- story branded shop with office space in the midst of more than 1,400 other outdoor companies at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City. While most of the complex booth resides in storage units in Utah, the 17 people who set it up and staff it through the show don’t. Some staffers travel from Boulder to the show just to help with the four-day setup process that adds a second-story balcony complete with lights underneath, a counter, display space and more.
