Council proactive about potential water shortages

By Marcus Hill Manitou Springs City Council worked to get ahead of potential water shortages by approving a pair of ordinances during the regular meeting on Tuesday, May 17. Councilors voted 6-1 to adopt Ordinance 1622. Ward 1 Councilor Nancy Fortuin dissented. This ordinance “gives City Council the ability to delegate the authority to declare a water shortage and impose water restrictions to the City Administrator or the City Administrator’s delegate.” Denise Howell, city administrator, said she recommended passing the ordinance to “allow flexibility” to city administration in emergency situations. “This is not an emergency situation, but we are definitely in different situations than we’ve ever been with our water supply,” Howell said. “My recommendation is to pass this emergency ordinance so you always have that authority. … Let’s say there’s a fire at the reservoir, we would need to make an immediate decision and I could not do that, nor could anybody else without calling a special meeting. “This allows flexibility based on that situation. You do not have to take it, but it allows it to be part of the ordinance.” The approval of Ordinance 1622 allowed council to move forward with the determination of authority for imposing restrictions on water usage. Council voted 6-1 to adopt Resolution 1522, which will “give authority to the City Administrator for the remainder of 2022 to implement water restrictions as needed.” At-large Councilor Judith Chandler dissented. “This is an unprecedented year … and we’re getting things that we don’t normally see,” Howell said. “The reservoir is still spilling, so that’s a positive. But that can change quickly.” During a City Council work session on May 10, Jeff Jones, Public Works director, said Level

Fire near Cave of the Winds quickly controlled The Manitou Springs Fire Department was dispatched to a small grass and brush fire near the Cave of the Winds entrance at 6:31 p.m. Monday, May 16. Approximately 20 members of the MSFD responded, along with personnel from the U.S. Forest Service, Crystal Park Fire Protection District and the Colorado Springs Fire Department. The fire was quickly controlled. Currently, the cause is undetermined. Manitou Springs and the Pikes Peak region are in a period of extreme fire danger. The MSFD is asking residents to be extremely vigilant in their daily activities and to be on high alert for any signs of fire. The MSFD thanks the USFS, Crystal Park Fire Protection District and the Colorado Springs Fire Department for their support and sustained partnerships that helped get this fire under control.

Letters to the Editor Gratitude for MSSD14 leadership, current and past

A couple of weeks ago, I found myself saying to the incoming Ute Pass Elementary principal, Jackie Powell, “You are going to have a blast in this job. This is an amazing place to work.” For 11 years, I have had the great honor and pleasure of serving UPES and the Manitou Springs school district. It is a place where people come together to do public school just a little differently. Some might call us “weird,” others, “innovative.” Every day, even on the hard ones, I’ve interacted with parents, staff, children and community members who believe Manitou is special. “Relationships,” “Deep Learning” and “Opportunity” are not just words; they are the mission we all feel when we wake up every morning. If you don’t believe me, ask our teachers. They live and model it every day. I am ready for my next chapter. Although I’m retiring after 30 years in public education, I’m not leaving the community. I am excited to stay connected and continue to support Manitou Springs School District 14 in any way I can. I know in my heart that MSSD14 is and will be outstanding. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside a lot

of great leaders. Our current leadership in Manitou is among the best I’ve experienced. These people are right for this moment. They are uniquely skilled, compassionate and caring. They are ready to listen, connect, adapt, adjust and learn alongside you. Manitou staff, parents, children and citizens have given me many gifts: learning, laughter and the power of community. I look forward to supporting and celebrating the Manitou and Ute Pass communities as you continue coming together to serve our children. Chris Briggs-Hale, retiring UPE principal

Firefighters deserve to have whatever they need

I just watched the Manitou Volunteer Fire Department get after a wild fire near Cave of the Winds hill. It seems like they got it taken care of in short order. Makes you want to vote for the best darn fire machines around, or whatever it is the firefighters think we need to have. We are living in a tinder box. Barry Beard

Urban Renewal Authority director reports on activities, plans By Rhonda Van Pelt As noted in the May 12 Bulletin, City Council heard updates from Jim Rees, executive director of the Manitou Springs Urban Renewal Authority, at its May 10 meeting. Rees later expanded on what the URA is doing for the approximately 50-acre area stretching from east of the Manitou Avenue/U.S. Highway 24 interchange to the city limits, and from El Paso Boulevard on the north to Highway 24 on the south. The URA’s mission is to “encourage private investment and reinvestment in targeted areas while strengthening the tax base.” To do that, Rees and the board collaborate with other groups and entities. “MSURA has completed several infrastructure projects since I was appointed as executive director (in 2019),” Rees said. He cited the completion of the Westside Avenue Action Plan project between Manitou and Colorado Springs, the pocket park near the Adam’s Crossing Bridge and the eastern welcome arch, and the upgrade of the Beckers Lane Bridge as major accomplishments. “(They) have all been great additions and have gone a long way to implementation of urban renewal’s purpose of curing and preventing blighted conditions.” The MSURA’s guiding principles include: • Investing in infrastructure improvements to prevent and eliminate blight, improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety and vehicular circulation, and to enhance utility, lighting and drainage; • Improving the corridor’s environment by creating an aesthetically pleasing and pedestrian-friendly streetscape and creek corridor through landscape improvements, wayfinding systems and art along pedestrian and vehicular corridors. • Providing pedestrian connections to the creek walk, Fields Park and Fountain Creek, and upgrading park and trail facilities; and • Facilitating rehabilitation and redevelopment of private property through grants to property owners. Applications are available at www. msura.org. Currently, Colorado has 62 urban renewal authorities; Manitou’s was

established in 2006. The board also is identifying potential properties for acquisition; funds will be used to help with redeveloping public or private parcels in the URA. The MSURA board’s primary function is to invest tax-increment revenues within the corridor and to work with property owners and the development community toward the district’s revitalization. Tax-increment financing starts with the value of the entire urban — Jim renewal area as well as the sales tax revenue (base) as it stands, before any new structures are built. All the entities that receive taxes from that property agree that they will continue to receive the same amount of property taxes as if it has not been redeveloped. Generally, that lasts for 25 years. Most of Manitou’s sales tax increment revenue has accrued since retail marijuana sales became legal in 2014. The previous revenue averaged approximately $76,000 per year; the 2022 revenue projection is $1,848,000, according to MSURA documents.

Meetings start at 8:30 a.m. third Fridays in City Hall, 606 Manitou Ave.

The MSURA calculates its 2022 expenditures at more than $3.6 million (see graphic). Two properties in the URA are likely to be on many residents’ and business owners’ minds: the La Fun motel and the Holiday Inn Express & Suites. Facing each other across the 100 block of Manitou Avenue, the buildings could be seen as representing Manitou’s past and future. “The La Fun motel is under contract and the potential owner/ Rees developer is analyzing what type of commercial development could work on that site,” Rees said. The motel was the site of frequent disturbances, resulting in the Manitou Springs Police Department responding there several times a week. The city pulled the owners’ business license and the building is boarded up, but incidents such as trespassing are still being reported there. The Holiday Inn construction at 114 Manitou Avenue has hit a few bumps along the way. Among them: height restrictions. Rees and the board

worked with the City Planning department to solve that stumbling block. When completed, the hotel is projected to generate $70,000 in tax-increment funds in its first year. Its reimbursement of eligible infrastructure costs over a nine-year period is projected to be more than $2.1 million. Another site of potential interest: the former car wash property and the Dillon Motel in the 100 block of Manitou Avenue. The owner has been considering the possibility of retail development there. “MSURA will most likely evaluate the project’s need for tax increment financing when a plan has been developed. The owner has put the project on hold for now,” Rees said. The MSURA board is also working to improve safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers around the westbound Highway 24 off-ramp to Manitou Avenue. Matrix Design Group, which was hired through the city’s request for proposals (RFP) process, will provide a streetscape schematic design to continue the WAAP improvements under the highway overpass. Otak Engineering, which designed the Beckers Lane improvements, has completed a schematic design and cost estimate to extend the curb, gutter and sidewalk along El Paso Boulevard near School District 14’s ballfields. Board members will evaluate both designs and cost estimates to decide which one (if any) of the projects can move forward. “Once bid documents are ready, the city engineer will bid the project(s). There is no exact timeline but, ideally, final design can be completed in 2022 with construction in 2023,” Rees explained. Once easements are obtained for a pedestrian bridge over Fountain Creek, an RFP will be issued and the winning design/engineering firm will be contracted to finish designing a bridge and trail connection between the creek path and Manitou Avenue. The board and the city are collaborating to upgrade restrooms at Fields Park and the MSURA is partnering with Creative Alliance Manitou Springs to select artists to add sculptures to the urban renewal area, increasing its appeal along with safety and other considerations.

Nancy Fortuin is the City Council liaison and Tom Sistare of Hoelting & Co. certified public accounting firm is a consultant.

Manitou Springs under Stage 2 burn ban orders

May 19, 2022

Fire knocked down

On Saturday, May 14, Manitou Springs Fire Chief John K. Forsett notified Mayor John Graham and City Council that he was ordering Stage 2 burn ban orders for the city. In accordance with other member municipalities in the Pikes Peak Regional Wildfire Group, the ban took effect at noon Monday, May 16. “Current vegetation conditions due to drought, consistent wind events and regional resources responding to significant regional and statewide fire incidents require our region to act in coordinated fashion to protect our environment, citizens, businesses and first responders,” Forsett wrote. All open fires and open burning are prohibited, including all cooking fires, recreational fires, campfires and warming fires, all solid-fuel burning fireplaces (such as fire pits, fire tables and chimineas) and cooking appliances (such as barbeque grills and pellet smokers.

Other prohibitions:

• Outdoor smoking of tobacco products except in designated areas, where a noncombustible container with a secured lid designed for disposal of smoking materials is provided; • Discarding lighted cigarettes, cigars or pipe tobacco products outdoors; • The sale and use of fireworks, explosives, fuses or blasting caps and rockets; and • The outdoor use of any equipment that may emit sparks (such as a grinder or chain saw) or that involves an open flame (such as welding equipment) without a chemical pressurized fire extinguisher equal to or exceeding a rating of 2A 10BC readily available to the operator.

Why are our teachers resigning from MSHS? Story and photo illustration by Emily Waite, junior

lice Stoneback, French teacher and Student Council (StuCo) adviser at Manitou Springs High School, is resigning at the end of the 2021-2022 school year to take the next step in her career as the dean of students at Air Academy High School. Stoneback, more commonly known as Stoney by students and staff, decided to make this change because she believes becoming an administrator is the best option for her career. She went back to school to get her principal’s license at Colorado State University-Global Campus and graduated in December 2021. Once she got her license, she began looking for administrative positions and that’s when she found Air Academy High School. Stoneback has been working in the Manitou Springs School District for 18 years. “My husband messaged me one day and told me to start looking for teaching jobs in Colorado even though we lived in Michigan at the time; and when I looked up French teachers in Colorado, Manitou was the first one to pop up,” she said. “I called the school then got an interview over the phone for the next day. I was hired over the phone right after that interview.” In Stoneback’s time in District 14, she has worn many hats. “I actually started out at Manitou as an English teacher, so I taught freshman English and French. Then I taught some middle school French classes, and then I started teaching Student Council as a class in 2011 or 2012,” she said. Stoneback took on coaching roles for many years, as well. She coached the 2011, 2012 and 2014 State Champion Cheer teams. She also coached track and field for several years and even traveled to

Woodland Park High School to be their color guard coach. Not only did she advise StuCo, she also was the Key Club sponsor for a year and started a French Club in her early years at MSHS. One of the biggest impacts Stoneback has made on MSHS is as Student Council adviser. “I became the StuCo adviser in my second year of teaching,” she said. “A teacher that was hired at the same time as me, also from Michigan, Bill Dallas, and I decided to take on Student Council together.” She’s also the Student Leadership Committee Chair for Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA). This means she helps committees with representatives from around the state understand what each other are doing and helps them in situations that may need it. Stoneback plans to try to continue in this position even though she will no longer be a StuCo adviser next year. Although advising StuCo has helped Stoneback teach others about leadership, she also learned a lot about it in the process. “I have learned more from being a Student Council adviser than I think I have from any class I have ever taken,” she said. “I learned what it meant to do things from a servant’s perspective and seeing leadership as service. It is truly a way to serve the people that you’re around every day.” Not only has she made an impact on the school as the StuCo

adviser, but she has made a significant impact on her co-workers over the past 18 years. “The halls of MSHS have her blood, sweat and tears deep within them; and no one will ever make more of an impact on this school and community than her,” said Angie Glass, Athletics/Activities administrative assistant. “She is gifted beyond measure with the way she spends her days with students. She is a true legend.” Stoneback has also had a major impact on many students’ lives and has taught many of them what leadership really is. “There are over 1.3 million words in the English language, and I cannot put together enough or the right combination of them to properly convey just how important she is, not only in my

own life, but for the school,” senior Gideon Aigner said. Staff and students have looked up to Stoneback. “She pours her heart into everything she does,” senior Camden Seal said. “It’s not her doing anything 50 percent or 70 percent; it’s always 110 percent with her, and she’s just a superhero.” The StuCo adviser position is posted but, as of now, there are no potential offers for this position. Several people have been hired for the 2022-2023 school year, so one of the new staffers could possibly take on this position. Stoneback will start work at AAHS on Aug. 3. Although she is excited for this change, she’s sad to leave her students and the school. “I don’t want to have parting words, because that means this is goodbye, and I don’t like that,” she said. “But I think if I could leave students with one idea, it would be to figure out who you are, what your strengths are and then learn how to shine and give back. And then you’ve met your purpose.”

Golfers perform well in final tournament before regionals In the final tune-up before regionals, the Manitou Springs girls golf team finished third at the Rye Invite at Hollydot Golf Course on May 13. Tyler Parratt paced the Mustangs, shooting a 20-over-par 91 to finish sixth. Madison Sharon shot a 94 and finished in a tie for ninth place. Lily Kocks finished her day with a 106 and Liz Johnson rounded out the team’s effort with a 110. All four Mustangs finished in the top 35 of the 68-player field. On Monday, May 23, the golfers head back to Hollydot, where they’ll attempt to qualify for the Class 3A girls golf state tournament at the Broadlands in Broomfield.

Mustangs looking to regain focus before regionals By Daniel Mohrmann The Manitou Springs baseball team learned a hard lesson over the weekend. Mental preparation for baseball doesn’t get to participate in senior week. The Mustangs entered the Tri-Peaks crossovers a little unfocused and it showed on the field. They dropped their first game to Lamar 6-1 before having to battle back and beat Buena Vista 9-6 on Saturday, May 14, to officially finish third place in the Tri-Peaks League. “I don’t know if it was that we walked in thinking we were going to win that (Lamar) game,” coach Brandon DeMatto said. “I just don’t think we were as focused as when we played them the first time. The greater lesson learned is that when you play great teams and elite-level competition, you have to be ready to go every day.” In the Lamar loss, the Mustangs (16-6-1 overall) had just two hits, both of which came off Raymond McCaskey’s bat. The offense was a little better against the Demons as Hayden Martinez went 4-for-4 and

drove in two runs and Ethan Boren went 1-for-2 with an RBI of his own. But the general mood of the team was just different from what it had been for the past several weeks.

“The biggest difference was our energy,” Andrew Rhodes said. “Energy was a big piece of it, as was our discipline. Lamar was throwing a big, slow, curveball pitcher and we

went out wanting to swing. We probably could have walked 20 times in that game, we just weren’t disciplined.” The Mustangs discovered their postseason fate on Wednesday, but the matchups had not been released as of the Bulletin’s press time. DeMatto’s priority was getting the team refocused and concentrating on the task at hand for this weekend. The Mustangs will play two games at regionals and need to win both to advance to the 3A state tournament. The time for outside distractions has come to an end and this team has to be focused on Saturday, May 21. “That’s a conversation we had,” DeMatto said. “I think everyone needs to look at what they did the night before and the morning of (crossovers) and see what may have derailed them. Then we have to find the root of that issue and fix it.” He’s hoping that the fix will result in the Mustangs getting to the state tournament for the first time since 2016, when they finished as the 3A runner-up.

City Finance Director Mike Leslie reported to City Council at Tuesday’s work session that there was approximately $32,000 available for implementing changes in the zoning code and related public processes for 2005. The recommendations submitted by consultant HB&A were itemized and came with the cost of each item included. HB&A will be contracted to perform the work of revising the code and establishing revised processes so the recommendations also served as a de facto bid on each item even though the firm’s involvement to date eliminates the requirement for a new bidding process. The 12 items on the HB&A list total nearly $91,000. HB&A also indicated several, mostly procedural changes, that can contribute to a more efficient and less contentious process that can be implemented in-house at no cost. Operating within the $32,000 available this year, council identified the creation of approval criteria for each zoning category, including downtown, projected to cost $20,000; revising and updating the public process, projected to cost $9,100; reevaluating the setback requirements in the general residential zone, which consumes as much as one-third of planning staff’s time, projected to cost $5,000 and adopting and implementing the National Fire Prevention Association’s standard 299 at a projected cost of $3,600. The NFPA standard would provide clear-cut guidelines, especially for construction on upslopes, where none exist now and thereby eliminate considerable negotiation,

E D I TO R

reports, hearings and general misunderstanding and arguments. Representatives of HB&A, City Council and members of city staff will now meet to finalize costs. At press time, it was not anticipated that further formalize action would be necessary to start the zoning and planning revision process as outlined Tuesday.

Council nears administrator choice Following Monday’s open house with finalists for the City Administrator position and a closed executive session Tuesday to review the candidates and the interview process that took place Monday, City Council appears to be embarking on final discussions with one or more candidates. Details from council executive sessions are, by law, not made public The four finalists are Elizabeth Black, District Manager for the Copper Mountain Consolidated Metropolitan District in Colorado; David Blanchard, City Manager of Blackhawk, Colo., from 2000 to 2003; Catherine Green, Director of Planning for the City of Pueblo from 1992 to 2004; and, Rick Sonnenburg, Town Manager of Monument. Bentley Henderson, Assistant Town Manager of Carbondale, Colo., withdrew from the process Friday The candidates were interviewed Monday by a panel of Colorado city managers and by City Council. The four then met with members of the public and with members of city staff. No public timetable has been set for the final hiring.

Can you guess what the picture is? If so, email your answer to editor@pikespeakbulletin.com

Last week’s answer: No one was able to identify last week’s photo, so here it is again.

Happy Cats Haven – Pet of the Week Howdy world, I’m Max! I’m a big black panther of a cat, fresh off a stint on the street, as you can tell by my tipped-ear badge of courage. My family and I grew up in an industrial area where the people really cared for us, but wanted us to have a chance for the inside life. I turned out to be the biggest snuggle bunny, always ready to crawl into your lap for purr therapy. I do fine with other nice cats, but probably will become my best self in a home with no small children or dogs. As a youngster of about 1, you can adopt me for $100, which includes my neuter, vaccinations, microchip, food and litter starter kit and a free well-kitty checkup.

Happy Cats Haven: 719-362-4600, 327 Manitou Ave. Adoptions by appointment only until further notice. www.HappyCatsHaven.org, www.Facebook.com/HappyCatsHaven.

Humane Society – Pet of the Week Even though I’m at HSPPR and not on a ship, you can call me Captain. I’m a 4-year-old red and white Siberian Husky that came to HSPPR as a stray and now I’m looking for a new pirate family to take me on adventures. I’m a good boy when it comes to people, but dogs can make me uncomfortable if we aren’t properly introduced, so I may do best as the only dog in my new home. I love attention from people and, in return, I’ll give you plenty of kisses. My adoption is $200, and I come with a voucher for a veterinary exam, vaccinations, 30 days of pet health insurance and a microchip, and I’m already neutered. Just ask for Captain (1576011).
