Denver council votes to delay collecting new sidewalk repair fee

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 14:27:43 GMT

Denver homeowners and businesses won’t have to start paying the city’s new sidewalk repair fee until next summer after equity concerns sparked City Council to delay implementation Monday night.The fee will now be collected beginning July 1, 2024, more than 18 months after voters approved the Denver Deserves Sidewalks initiative and six months after it was initially scheduled to begin. Councilwoman Amanda Sandoval, who requested the delay, said Monday those extra months will give a city task force more time to explore solutions to the program’s fee structure, which currently proposes starkly different charges to residents depending on the location of their home.“I’m responding to constituents’ concerns, property owners’ concerns and basically inequity that was baked into the ordinance,” Sandoval said. “I don’t feel like it’s equitable to base sidewalk fees based on your street type classification. I feel there needs to...

Denver Public Schools reimbursed $3,500 of Auon’tai Anderson’s legal fees in a settlement never meant to be made public

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 14:27:43 GMT

Denver Public Schools quietly paid school board Vice President Auon’tai Anderson a $3,500 settlement earlier this year to help cover legal fees he incurred when the Board of Education investigated anonymous and unsubstantiated allegations of sexual assault made against him. The settlement was never intended to be made public, according to the legal agreement, which specifies Anderson and DPS can’t acknowledge its existence or release the document — even under Colorado’s public records act — unless required by law or court order.With Anderson’s consent, DPS released a copy of the settlement agreement Monday after The Denver Post and Chalkbeat Colorado published stories detailing the transaction and the district’s repeated refusal to release the settlement.“It is unfathomable that any public school district would include a provision in a settlement agreement by which it commits to withhold that public record from disclosure under the Colorado Open R...

A planned Los Angeles Metro expansion has hit a snag after a headstone turned up in a resident’s backyard. When neighbors in a Lawndale neighborhood learned about Metro's plans to build a new C (Green) Line in the area, they thought it was imperative to let officials know about the gravestones. But at least one resident said that when he spoke up, he was met with dismay.  Jay Gould said that ever since he was a child, he remembers his father talking about the burial ground in their backyard.  “I just started digging like crazy and started finding them again,” he told KTLA’s Rachel Menitoff. So far, one gravestone is visible, but Gould believes there may be as many as 17. After hearing about Metro’s extension along the railroad tracks and through his yard, he spoke up.Lawndale resident Jay Gould is seen in his backyard after the discovery of Earle Hoffman's grave marker.
