what people are doing we uh here in

77
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,680
teller and Alo counties we've discovered

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,040
one of the areas that we have very

79
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,840
limited data on that perhaps might be

80
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,319
among U you know the most impacted and

81
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:57,519
most highest risk groups of people in

82
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:00,640
regard to Youth and youth from from age

83
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,560
10 to about 21 that are being severely

84
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,159
impacted not only by the opioid crisis

85
00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:09,360
but also by what feeds a lot of the

86
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,560
opioid crisis which is uh High potency

87
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,199
marijuana in Colorado and

88
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:19,400
U because of that yesterday attended a

89
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,560
lunch and learn with da Michael Allen as

90
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,440
his guest he was the host of the event

91
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,919
and we had people coming from all over

92
00:04:26,919 --> 00:04:29,320
the country to talk about po opioid

93
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,039
crisis in u the uh the impacts of high

94
00:04:34,039 --> 00:04:37,680
potency cannabis and combining that with

95
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,120
social media and U kind of had my eyes

96
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,120
blown wide open by a lot of what I've

97
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,240
learned I new social media was PR

98
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,639
obviously I've worked in it for many

99
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:51,759
years um but the ways that social media

100
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:56,240
is now being used uh to uh to sell

101
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,199
cannabis to sell opioids openly uh

102
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:01,360
is

103
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,120
astounding um you know they're simply

104
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,880
using Code words U and there's a guy

105
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,080
that showed us he pulled it up on his

106
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,160
phone he went on Instagram and pulled up

107
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,240
hashtag Colorado Springs Colorado and

108
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,240
about every 10th thing that was tagged

109
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,199
with that was pictures with no words of

110
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:23,800
what was obviously illicit substances

111
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,240
for sale uh in Colorado and I know we

112
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,199
talked a lot with with our sheriff and

113
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:33,000
others about you know situations here in Teller County not only dealing with

114
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,280
cartels but also dealing with people and

115
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:37,479
families that are impacted U you know by

116
00:05:37,479 --> 00:05:39,160
drug addiction and kind of what that

117
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,800
does to our County and sometimes you

118
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,880
know here on the south side of the

119
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,840
county we see it a little more but uh

120
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:46,520
it's it's really astounding and I think

121
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:47,960
we're going to have to have some

122
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,280
legislative fixes to it um and one of

123
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:52,759
the things that's interesting and this

124
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:55,680
is now shown through hundreds of studies

125
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,520
is that when Colorado legalized

126
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,960
marijuana uh um the average amount of

127
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,960
potency in uh in cannabis or marijuana

128
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,319
products was about

129
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:10,240
5% uh

130
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,479
today it's pushing 70% on average so the

131
00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:16,400
amount of cannabis that is in the

132
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,919
product that people are buying whether

133
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:20,520
it's Edibles or Vapes and Vapes by the

134
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,240
way are a huge problem with youth uh

135
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,680
because they're easily disguisable for

136
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,919
things which are not illicit and anyway

137
00:06:28,919 --> 00:06:33,240
the uh the potency of those has created new

138
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,680
problems that nobody ever saw coming

139
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,880
because they had never been seen before

140
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,880
and basically the old adage of the

141
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,479
Cannabis is uh you know pot is not

142
00:06:41,479 --> 00:06:44,960
addictive is no longer true U evidently

143
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,199
that was mostly true uh except for

144
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:50,080
Behavioral addiction not physical

145
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,039
addiction back when the potency was 5%

146
00:06:53,039 --> 00:06:55,680
but now is it's averaging 70% and you

147
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,000
can actually buy

148
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,879
99.9% pure THC over the counter anytime

149
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:03,960
you want um and just a drop of it you

150
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,479
know is U you know amazingly powerful

151
00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:08,199
what's happening is not only your people

152
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:10,039
actually getting addicted but also

153
00:07:10,039 --> 00:07:12,000
because of the potency of it is that

154
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,240
people no longer get the high off of uh

155
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,160
off of it like you know what they used

156
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,840
to so they start seeking things which

157
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,000
will get them that high oh good and then

158
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,080
move over to fentel and the studies and

159
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,479
the data out there is showing that about

160
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:28,560
90% they talk about Gateway products and

161
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,400
people like put reality is is now there

162
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,639
is a very clear and uh link between High

163
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:38,319
potency marijuana and the use of O it's

164
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:40,520
due to the addictive nature of high

165
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,680
potency cannabis I think our legislature

166
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,400
has got to do something about it they

167
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,960
passed a couple of laws in 2022 in

168
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,240
regards to packaging uh but nothing in

169
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,400
regards to potency I'm not sure that we

170
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,280
can but I think we need to try I think

171
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,800
we need to do everything we can because

172
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,360
it's as much as opioids have become you

173
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,840
know the number one Public Health crisis

174
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,159
in the country as more and more states

175
00:08:02,159 --> 00:08:04,560
legalize marijuana I truly believe that

176
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,759
hypothy cannabis will be right on its

177
00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:09,479
heels uh as you know as the second

178
00:08:09,479 --> 00:08:12,680
greatest Health crisis in the country um

179
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,199
so anyway I'll be going to that

180
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:16,280
conference on the 19th and was coming

181
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,280
Monday and so I'll head up on Sunday

182
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,800
night and meet with other Ro acts around

183
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,000
the region and see what we can learn

184
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,479
from each other hopefully we can come up

185
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:26,840
with st because the data that we don't

186
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,280
have about Youth and their usage

187
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,800
uh it's just simply not there the we do

188
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,719
have a squat so we truly don't know how deep the problem is uh so it's one

189
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:40,800
of the things that this particular roak

190
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,279
wants to work on roak being the region

191
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:47,480
16 opioid Cal so anyway we're we're

192
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,440
going to be working on that but it's I

193
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,640
said it was very eye openening uh and

194
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,920
really sad we've spoken before about the

195
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,760
groups that are coming you know and talk

196
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,920
to us that are addicted to fit opioids

197
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:05,560
and or you recovering from that um the very clear connection between what's

198
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:07,399
what we have made legal in mrooms

199
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:09,480
probably we just going to add to the to

200
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,680
the mix of things that of what I'll

201
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:14,279
continue to call elicit

202
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:17,120
substances uh do nothing but you know

203
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,959
prepare someone for seeking the next

204
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:22,680
thing and and that's been know

205
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:26,560
and um on a brighter note though I also

206
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:29,120
attended the uh Toler senior Coalition

207
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,440
meeting this past Thursday and to senior

208
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,079
Coalition is thriving the services that

209
00:09:35,079 --> 00:09:37,120
they provide to our community uh you

210
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,680
know just are tremendous uh their use of

211
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,200
their medical rides uh that they provide

212
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,120
for our residents has continued to

213
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,519
increase they're adding a couple more

214
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:48,800
fleet vehicles they'll be adding and

215
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,519
they received the grant now for uh a

216
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:55,600
basically a they're calling it a bus

217
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,040
barn but they don't have buses they have

218
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,920
vehicles and uh and shuttles but uh they

219
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:01,800
need to get those under some kind of

220
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,440
protection so they can do maintenance

221
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,279
and uh and take care of those vehicles

222
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:07,079
and they have received both planning

223
00:10:07,079 --> 00:10:09,519
grants and also initial grants for that

224
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:11,160
and they're hoping with the next couple

225
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,519
of years to you to get a maintenance

226
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:15,839
facility built probably after the Divide

227
00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:18,720
area near where their offes are but

228
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,560
again they're just doing great and Kathy

229
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:23,160
Lowry and her team are uh really are

230
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,880
rock stars for our community and by the

231
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,519
way those medical rides and all of the transit rides that were available at

probably help you out um lastly U and I

238
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:47,279
know Bob was out of town and U and so I

239
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:50,560
committed to online attending the CCI

240
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:51,760
the Colorado Count's Incorporated

241
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,000
security committee meetings this last

242
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,240
Friday we spent all day going through

243
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,320
propositions from counties across the

244
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,560
state on legislative issues um

245
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:02,440
construction defects did come up again

246
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,480
which was U you know a an issue I helped

247
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,800
champion last year that we didn't get

248
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,800
across the finish line but it's it's

249
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,040
going to come back again uh and then not

250
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,639
surprisingly tax issues came up and with

251
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:19,959
the um the lack of control

252
00:11:19,959 --> 00:11:23,279
over uh you know property tax issues by

253
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:25,279
local government where the legislature

254
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:26,839
is stepping in and it seems like every

255
00:11:26,839 --> 00:11:28,480
year they're changing and changing and

256
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,519
changing the problem create for penties

257
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:32,360
and local governments is that from year

258
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,000
to year you get a little Whiplash as to

259
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,560
what your Revenue sources are what your

260
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:38,519
stream is and you know we're trying to

261
00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:40,320
adopt a budget when they just had a

262
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,200
legislative session six weeks ago to

263
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,399
change yet again the formula for how we

264
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:47,000
will uh for how we will do that so

265
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,399
counties are looking for ways to

266
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:51,760
stabilize their their revenue exam just

267
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,560
so it's predictable so that we can

268
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:55,399
predictively provide services to our

269
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:58,399
residents uh there are some uh you know

270
00:11:58,399 --> 00:11:59,920
different ideas coming from around the

271
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,800
state everything from um the ability to

272
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,600
Levy unincorporated tax which currently

273
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,240
doesn't exist uh in the state to uh you

274
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,720
know being able to uh use certain TA in

275
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,480
different ways and and loosen up

276
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,040
for different type of taxes that come in

277
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,760
that are currently year marked that

278
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,079
maybe could could get better use 're

279
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:27,560
kind of exploring all things so we'll

280
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:29,199
see what comes out of that as we move CL

281
00:12:29,199 --> 00:12:32,839
of the legislature um then on another

282
00:12:32,839 --> 00:12:34,600
note I have spoken with Senator Martin

283
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,880
basley there are portions of the new

284
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,680
conceal car instruction law that have

285
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:41,800
come into effect and that's uh in

286
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,760
regards to the certification of firearms

287
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,600
instructors by local sheriff's

288
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,519
departments and our local sheriff's

289
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:50,560
department has you know enacted a

290
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:53,160
program of certification but as with

291
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,880
many rushed and not well thought out

292
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,760
laws one of the problems with this is

293
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,720
that uh instructors once they get

294
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,760
certified by a sheriff's department

295
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,120
that's not good enough for any other

296
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,680
sheriff's department under the new law

297
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:09,519
so U and many people are probably aware

298
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:12,120
I am an in enire was instructor and at

299
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,000
times have done classes for folks and

300
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,839
First Responders and but they come from

301
00:13:16,839 --> 00:13:18,519
all over you know they come from Park

302
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:20,680
County they come from Douglas County uh

303
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:22,399
Western El Paso County as well as our

304
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:25,360
own County and previously that wasn't an

305
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,560
issue uh because the previous law simply

306
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,040
said that you had to be an n certified

307
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,440
instructor you or as one of the pathways

308
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,680
to receiving a concealed carry permit

309
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,240
and now the law says You must be

310
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,880
certified by your local sheriff which

311
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,959
means if somebody who lives six miles

312
00:13:40,959 --> 00:13:42,800
north of w Park comes to a class in W

313
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,480
Park and I'm not certified with the

314
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,240
sheriff of D County

315
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,759
then can't use my class as uh as the

316
00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:53,079
instruction that's required in the

317
00:13:53,079 --> 00:13:55,800
concealed carry law so from that I've

318
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,279
gone to Mark basley also of course

319
00:13:57,279 --> 00:13:59,120
spoken with our Sheriff about it and

320
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,680
fully supports the idea to uh Foster and

321
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:04,839
sponsor legislation to essentially

322
00:14:04,839 --> 00:14:07,000
create reciprocity among counties that

323
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,920
if the county shair from Teller County

324
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,120
under the law has properly certified an

325
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,480
instructor that any other County in

326
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,720
Colorado should recognize that

327
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,680
certification because otherwise that

328
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:19,000
you're running around spending a lot of

329
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,160
money make you know trying to make sure

330
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,639
that you're certified in other counties

331
00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:24,839
in case you have somebody from other

332
00:14:24,839 --> 00:14:27,600
counties coming in so we're hopeful it

333
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,480
sounds very common sense but not a lot

334
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,639
of common sense the legisl so we'll see

335
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:33,639
how that goes but I'm appreciative

336
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:36,040
senator for his willingness to sponsor

337
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,600
that legislation and with that I think I

338
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,839
will wrap it up with that thank you Mr

339
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:43,560
chairman thank you commissioner Stone

340
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,240
commissioner Williams thank you Mr chair

341
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,720

342
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,600
council Eric and reference CCI again Bob

his day and then back we get one vot as

347
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,600
a County so I will say what I saw this

348
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,399
year is a little more bipartisanship but

349
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:07,040
I also saw it's an election year and so

350
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,680
we have several acting currently active

351
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,279
legislators that are running for high

352
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:13,399
office and so you see some of that like

353
00:15:13,399 --> 00:15:16,199
er said the tax frustra because we just

354
00:15:16,199 --> 00:15:18,920

00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:52,120
the local folks take a lot of courage

370
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,240
and explain their story kids like you

371
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,000
know the folks back here and what

372
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,319
they've been through and uh probably

373
00:15:59,319 --> 00:16:00,959
have I'll just keep a generic several

374
00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:02,600
dozen kids from Toler County in the

375
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,759
program what that program is is if you

376
00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:07,079
lose your children for whatever reason

377
00:16:07,079 --> 00:16:10,240
abuse State steps in they are they're

378
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,399
given different than a guardian a item

379
00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:14,360
they're given an advocate in state of

380
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,319
Colorado that does nothing but advocate

381
00:16:16,319 --> 00:16:18,600
for that child the goal is always to

382
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,360
give those children back to their

383
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,279
natural parents can it doesn't always

384
00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:24,720
help doesn't always work but uh it's

385
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,000
about $1,500 a person to train [ __ ] and

386
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,199
that's what they use the money for and

387
00:16:30,199 --> 00:16:32,759
I'll just say this indoors open at 7

388
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:35,399
7:30 8:30 next Wednesday at the UL

389
00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:37,319
Center all the proceeds that we raise

390
00:16:37,319 --> 00:16:39,800
will save so even though we work between

391
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,319
us in the pass this is I happy to have

392
00:16:43,319 --> 00:16:45,319
the other Commissioners with us um

393
00:16:45,319 --> 00:16:47,680
braver Angels obviously braver Angels

394
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,880
Holly may or may not be here today um

395
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,079
but Holly runs so it goes back to

396
00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:55,920
Lincoln goes back to March 4th 1861 um

397
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,839
we already had seven states to see from

398
00:16:57,839 --> 00:17:00,399
the Union uh Lincoln would be dead in

399
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:02,120
three and a half years the country was

400
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,439
falling apart very divided maybe worse

401
00:17:04,439 --> 00:17:06,959
than we are now I think and he gave an

402
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:08,280
inaugural speech one of the shortest

403
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,640
speeches he gave but he ended with prob

404
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,520
can be saved if we can find the better

405
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,720
angels of our nature so hat off to O I

406
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,480
think Eric was there as well and Bob's

407
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,559
been a big supporter and they basically

408
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:22,199
just try to fill a room with people from

409
00:17:22,199 --> 00:17:24,160
different sides of the aisle no secret

410
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,039
blue versus red was this case and it was

411
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:28,240
about elections uh so we have a member

412
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,120
of Jason's team there Pat came there I

413
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:32,039
really appreciate it Pat and you know

414
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:33,520
there's a lot of tension in the room as

415
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,960
people came together that's really the

416
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,400
sad thing residents and Neighbors in

417
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,960
Teller County who literally freeze up

418
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,120
when they stand next to somebody so what

419
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:43,679
they do is they break down little circle

420
00:17:43,679 --> 00:17:45,520
groups so the tension gets even higher

421
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,840
and then you have to go around Circle

422
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,520
and say whether you lean blue or red

423
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,919
doesn't really matter but you know so

424
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:52,480
you know you're sit next to and we talk

425
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,520
and so it's really interesting um they

426
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,440
briefed us very quickly they briefed us

427
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,320
the higher level bra range at the

428
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,720
national level on like Integrity what we

429
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,240
found out is everybody's concerned about

430
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,360
elections just from different sides and

431
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:07,039
the three principles they gave us is one

432
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:08,520
voting should be easy but cheating

433
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,919
should be hard most people AG on that

434
00:18:10,919 --> 00:18:12,919
every citizen should have an equal say

435
00:18:12,919 --> 00:18:14,720
in who will govern them and that's done

436
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,480
through free and fair elections and the

437
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,760
American government will fail if

438
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,080
candidates refuse to accept the outcome

439
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,480
of the victory so you know we're a

440
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,480
nation of fans when two football teams

441
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,559
come together referee calls it walk away

442
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:28,320
we need to understand how that works and

443
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,280
hats off

444
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,159
reporter who was there a lot of Courage

445
00:18:32,159 --> 00:18:35,039
um it was really neat to see um as she

446
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:36,960
reminded folks there who were agitated

447
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,760
on both sides I look I swore not to the

448
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,080
constitution in Colorado state that her

449
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,200
statute she has to follow she shares

450
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,559
some of her personal opinions which is

451
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:47,280
appreciated so I think Eric and I Eric

452
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,039
and I texted that evening a little

453
00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:50,960
depressing to see how dug in some people

454
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,080
are but I think at least now people can

455
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,880
go home to their families and say hey I

456
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,159
sat next to a republican I sat next to a

457
00:18:58,159 --> 00:19:00,000
Democrat well I heard one thing that

458
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,679
they said that I can get along with and

459
00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:03,240
so they don't attempt to change your

460
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,720
mind they just attempt to open your mind

461
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,559
so hats off to Holly they very for doing

462
00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:08,640
that they need every month in the

463
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,360
library for different issues and can is

464
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:13,799
important and again I'll just with

465
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:16,200
regards to election Integrity I have

466
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,600
full faith and confidence in stepan all

467
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,320
Commissioners and everything we can

468
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,520
she'll probably talk a little bit about

469
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,440
it mov on the crime you know we we had a

470
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,760
joint statement that went out on crime

471
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,440
uh Jason and the three Commission and

472
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,400
there's a statement there about

473
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,600
homelessness and I just want to clarify

474
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:33,919
nice thing about those statements is it

475
00:19:33,919 --> 00:19:36,679
starts a conversation people call they

476
00:19:36,679 --> 00:19:38,600
what do you mean by there is no one up

477
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,559
on this Das that doesn't have empathy

478
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:42,120
for homeless people they're before the

479
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:43,799
grace of God with all of us right couple

480
00:19:43,799 --> 00:19:46,240
bad decisions a bad divorce your job and

481
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,760
you're living in the trailer doesn't

482
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,760
belong you when I was a kid here we

483
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,159
called a mountain you know I just buried

484
00:19:52,159 --> 00:19:53,760
one month and a half ago a mountain man

485
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,880
that lived up here by himself on many

486
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,720
years so that's not what we're talking

487
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,960
about Eric kind of H into the crime is advocate for old color and so T

488
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,400
county has been targeted for fanol you

489
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,600
guys remember Jason night and I was in

490
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,080
conversation with Jason last he

491
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,640
authorized me to say a few things on his

492
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,880
behalf in terms of crime um we're in

493
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,200
charge of life he safety he got Public

494
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,200
Safety so we work together but we're

495
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,840
being taken advantage of and what I mean

496
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,679
by that is what do you do as a county

497
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:23,640
commissioner when you get a call someone

498
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,200
says hey there's somebody living on my

499
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,919
land in somebody else's trailer by the

500
00:20:27,919 --> 00:20:29,440
way they're pooping on on the ground and

501
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,120
my well is right here or by the way

502
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:32,679
there are children there that should be

503
00:20:32,679 --> 00:20:35,080
in school or by the way they shot at me

504
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,440
you know all those things are happening

505
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,440
so fentanyl crime felons our jails are

506
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,640
not empty but they're half empty because

507
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,520
they're all the mountains and so again I

508
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,679
just want to clarify we're not targeting

509
00:20:45,679 --> 00:20:47,720
homeless people but there are really bad

510
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,880
people hiding among the homeless people

511
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,600
um all three of us sit on boards from

512
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,600
senior coalition to ask the Mind Center

513
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,280
to partnership that care about folks and

514
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,760
the term that we use now is giving them

515
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,440
a hand up not hand hand out so all that

516
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,400
empathy and compassion is there um but

517
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,760
you elected us to take care of safety

518
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,120
and we're telling you there's some ises

519
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:08,919
up here getting after so uh Jason will

520
00:21:08,919 --> 00:21:10,159
have a statement probably later this

521
00:21:10,159 --> 00:21:12,760
week to clarify that um it's really to

522
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,760
take care of all residents um last thing

523
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,600
I'll say is uh Eric did a really good

524
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,039
job with it you know mushrooms is

525
00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:21,120
another example I don't think any of us

526
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:23,240
are up here saying you can't enjoy

527
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,279
marijuana you can't have Jack Daniels

528
00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:27,320
you can't do whatever you're legal all

529
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,960
to do we're telling you things are

530
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,440
happening that are taking control and so

531
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,840
you come to this town and buy marijuana

532
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,240
legally and don't spend the night and

533
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,720
get free alcohol and right now there's

534
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,880
some overing going on we're looking at F

535
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,760
and you get in your car and you cross

536
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,679
over into unincorporated T County you're

537
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:46,080
going to engang your kids on school

538
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,799
buses you know on older people and and

539
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:50,159
that's what we're looking at that's we

540
00:21:50,159 --> 00:21:51,840
going after there are a lot of people

541
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,120
that come up here that are in their mid

542
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:55,000
70s for the first time they're not used

543
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
to the altitude they have two or three

544
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,120
resisting conditions on oxygen they

545
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:00,520
drinking too much and then they pop a

546
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,760
goo me and wonder why it didn't kick in

547
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,840
so they pop a second one you ever try

548
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,760
that you know it takes a few hours and

549
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,080
then they get in the road and they drive

550
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,400
through it and so that's what Jason's

551
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,120
seeing and so we're not heavy-handed no

552
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:14,240
we owe it to you to be careful out there

553
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,559
and there's a lot of leaf Lookers up

554
00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:17,640
here right now as you know and you don't

555
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,880
having fun so um I think I'll end it

556
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,240
with that but just a great time to be

557
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,559
here and I do uh ask you guys to keep

558
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:24,919
forward in your prayers that's a pretty

559
00:22:24,919 --> 00:22:27,240
big storm it's five almost 500 miles

560
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,960
across it's the entire State of Florida

561
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,679
so ask yourself how prepared Denver

562
00:22:31,679 --> 00:22:33,840
would be if they lost electricity got

563
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,360
five feet of snow to help out so it's

564
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:37,720
going to be interesting to watch and

565
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,760
we'll see do but keep PR with that M

566
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,520
church thank you commissioner just one

567
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,200
additional I like to thr out there with

568
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,720
the braver angels seminars that I've

569
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,039
gone to it's about getting people in the

570
00:22:50,039 --> 00:22:52,840
room that don't necessarily have

571
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,799
Bas beliefs and philosophies that they

572
00:22:55,799 --> 00:22:58,000
live by it's about in them in the room

573
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,039
and having conversations that can be

574
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:02,440
civil that's what braver Angel likes to

575
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,840
do they like to explore topics and have

576
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,960
conversations where you can get adults

577
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,360
in the room and mix and match and it

578
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:11,039
doesn't matter what side you're on of

579
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:14,240
what subject or what the topic is for

580
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,039
the week but to have conversations with

581
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:17,840
other people and have it in a civil

582
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,559
manner I think there few of those where

583
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:23,360
you know it's amazing if you create the

584
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:25,240
right environment you can have good

585
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,840
constructive decisions and sometimes

586
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,440
some results come out of their where you

587
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,600
can do something in the community but

588
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,559
it's about fostering Communications and

589
00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:37,760
not getting outrageous and not getting

590
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,080
animosity built up but have a

591
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,600
conversation with your neighbor who may

592
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,919
not believe in everything you believe in

593
00:23:43,919 --> 00:23:46,039
and it's not always political sometimes

594
00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:49,480
it's just philosophies of life sometimes

595
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,799
deals with religion and policies in the

596
00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:54,120
state it's not an R&D discussion

597
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:56,200
typically it's about getting people

598
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,880
together from different sides and having

599
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,000
good constru start through conversations

600
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,679
and fostering in a simple manner so I

601
00:24:02,679 --> 00:24:04,400
appreciate you guys showing up for me

602
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,679
when I wasn't in town but thank you so

603
00:24:06,679 --> 00:24:09,600
much on that one um been spending some

604
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,520
time quite a bit with pipek Workforce as

605
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,080
a board that I sit on I lead right now

606
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,159
but um trying to help Tracy through this

607
00:24:18,159 --> 00:24:20,320
U she's got another audit at the Pik

608
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,640
speak Workforce Center it's another

609
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,200
division of some State Administration

610
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:30,430
that are calling it a monitoring review

611
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,440
um it it really comes down to

612
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,679
terminology this is their third a

613
00:24:36,679 --> 00:24:39,679
they've had in the last 15 months and

614
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:43,760
they've been constant from CD CD at the

615
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,760
federal level the cdle at the labor

616
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,960
department of the state she has just got

617
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,120
a Target on her back right now but the

618
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:51,520
good thing is this one's coming out

619
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,679
pretty good um but three audits in one

620
00:24:54,679 --> 00:24:57,120
year from different agencies seems like

621
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:59,880
a little bit of heavy this and in this

622
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,799
one they're not finding anything but

623
00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:03,720
that's that's say okay but I've been

624
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,600
spend a lot of time helping with her as

625
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,320
an ex auditor it's nice to have some

626
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,840
eyes go down there and say that's not

627
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,360
what auditing should look like that's

628
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:15,000
not what review should look like um so I

629
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,559
a lot as you mentioned I spent some

630
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:19,440
family time did some camping in the

631
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,279
other parts of the the country this week

632
00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:24,039
over towards independent past and spend

633
00:25:24,039 --> 00:25:25,720
a few days out there without cell phone

634
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,720
coverage and just checking out you know

635
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,200
because it's nice not to answer that

636
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,000
phone every five minutes or so and then

637
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,240
I've also got a buddy in town that I was

638
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,039
in high school band we've been friends

639
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:39,799
for 50 years so he lived in Phoenix most

640
00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:42,080
his life he recently moved to Georgia

641
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,679
but he's in town doing some caretaking

642
00:25:43,679 --> 00:25:45,720
so I've been spend some time with him

643
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,880
it's nice to have friends that you grew

644
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,720
up with 50 years ago so that's been

645
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,399
keeping me busy quite a bit and I think

646
00:25:53,399 --> 00:25:55,120
at that I'll leave it

647
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:59,440
short and we'll move on to the elected

648
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,350
official I think

649
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:06,830
you're

650
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,240
Stephanie good morning

651
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,120
everyone so I traveled to the big city

652
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:14,120
of linman a couple weeks ago we had

653
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:16,559

654
00:26:16,559 --> 00:26:19,559

660
00:26:32,159 --> 00:26:34,120
it's more of everybody around the state

661
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:35,640
but I do like the the smaller ones with

662
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,720
the rounder tables because conversation

663
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,919

looking forward to my son getting

679
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:27,159
married and um I think that's all I have

680
00:27:27,159 --> 00:27:31,230
most you guys

681
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,399
your

682
00:27:32,399 --> 00:27:34,440
discussions legislation we should be

683
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,799
watching for new ideas coming in public

684
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:39,840
trust you know the only thing that we're

685
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,159
still um working on is that treasurer's

686
00:27:42,159 --> 00:27:43,760
deed you know we're still working

687
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,799
through that a lot of the counties you

688
00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:47,480
know because of big and small we're

689
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,799
trying to work together um with how

690
00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:53,000
we're handling that the um vendors are

691
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,320
still which is very odd to me they're

692
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,399
not they're not prepared for that so

693
00:27:57,399 --> 00:27:58,720
we're not being

694
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,240
we're doing it until our County by hand

695
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,120
on those Treasures Deeds so we are still

696
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:04,919
selling those um there's a lot of

697
00:28:04,919 --> 00:28:06,640
counties that are not they're not taking

698
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,480
any of those so that's um and they're

699
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,240
going to revamp that legislation and

700
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,000
then also when we went into special

701
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,559
session um which got shot down right you

702
00:28:17,559 --> 00:28:19,720
know I talked to Senator basley about

703
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,399
you know the 12mon payment and things so

704
00:28:22,399 --> 00:28:25,279
hopefully that second session really

705
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:27,279
calmed them down so let's hope that we

706
00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:29,679
don't have to worry about that but we'll

707
00:28:29,679 --> 00:28:31,559

00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,880
was required and I had a lot of people

730
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,799
because they want to drop about same

731
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:38,039
thing they got them so I was very

732
00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:40,399

738
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,679

not

752
00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:34,669
the what's the policy

753
00:30:34,679 --> 00:30:37,200
procedure you want to become a cool

question or issue and or a

them from some that

791
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,000
some efficiencies

right now that don't live around here

805
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,440
how they don't know that their vehicle

is obstructing the road around the

807
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,240

00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:52,400
and I'm here to talk about the recent

873
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,040
news release regarding inter agency

874
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,880
cooperation to address crime and

875
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,240
homelessness

876
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:01,280
in Teller County in the city of per cre

877
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,760
and I'm encouraged by the

878
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,040
um the mention in that letter of

879
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,319
forthcoming shortterm and

880
00:36:11,319 --> 00:36:14,440
long-term um efforts and policies to

881
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,720
address those

882
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:18,960
Solutions uh or those problems but um I

883
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,680
know that I and other members of the

884
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,640
community will be looking forward to

885
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,800
more specific information about those

886
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,000
Solutions and um more data about the

887
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,280
crime and homelessness and how they

888
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,680
interact um in the meantime I'm

889
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,240
concerned about statements that seem to

890
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:40,040
conflate crime and homelessness these

891
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,960
are both serious problems that I would

892
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,079
like to see more data about specific

893
00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:47,400
times before attributing them all to the

894
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,680
homeless population and indeed as the

895
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,000
most vulnerable members of our community

896
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,560
I think the homeless are very likely to

897
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,760
also be victims of crime

898
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,440
um Southern terer County we're fortunate

899
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,400
to be growing and we're experiencing

900
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,000
both the benefits and the negative

901
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,960
impacts of that and so this is a great

902
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,960
time to get ahead of the negative

903
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:16,800
impacts in January um reporter Pat Hill

904
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,480
wrote a story in The Courier um where

905
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,359
she described the detrius around

906
00:37:22,359 --> 00:37:24,160
campsites where people were living on

907
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,599
Mineral and carbonate Hills and the

908
00:37:27,599 --> 00:37:29,800
stuffed animals and toys alongside the

909
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,160
other debris are what caught my

910
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,400
attention and hurt my heart as she said

911
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,680
um this is the Dark Side of C Creek and

912
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,560

919
00:37:56,599 --> 00:37:58,000

921
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,000
many of the volunteers there are people

922
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,160
who have benefited from those programs

923
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,200
and are giving back to the community as

924
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,599

925
00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:15,240

meeting did we change any Minds though

968
00:39:58,359 --> 00:40:00,040
but that wasn't the intent I think

969
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,440
people could go home and say I sat next

970
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,839

00:40:03,839 --> 00:40:05,520

here in person so that state stat was

982
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,920
designed to start a conversation it was

983
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,599
designed to answer part of what happened

984
00:40:32,599 --> 00:40:34,240
that we still can't talk about that

985
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:36,560

988
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,960
empathy on this board for Hess there

989
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,240

veteran we found Ben car who Liv in cat

know much bigger than T County it's also

1000
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,000
Federal so we work really close and so

1001
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,760
there's no attempt in that letter um to

1002
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,880
verify the homeless in fact I sit on the

1003
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,079

00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,160
to homeless for years even before as a

1008
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,400
commissioner so that is

1009
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,040
Jason and I talked last night he would

1010
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,640
be here today he's up right now working

1011
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,560
with senator basley in Denver on some

1012
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,119
legislation to tighten up on CRI he

1013
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:37,680
wanted me to remind anybody who would

1014
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,760
bring it up um we you have some

1015
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,599
nefarious activity and you said it

1016
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:44,359
exactly right there are Wars I'll just

1017
00:41:44,359 --> 00:41:46,960
use the Afghan term when I was in combat

1018
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,800
that are amongst the homeless that are

1019
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,280
taking advantage of the homeless that

1020
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,599
are praying on them there are now a day

1021
00:41:52,599 --> 00:41:55,000
goes by where we don't get a call about

1022
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,319
um un adult rated sewage going into a

1023
00:41:58,319 --> 00:42:00,920
stream that then goes down that then is

1024
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,280
received by someone's well uh their

1025
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,480
Public Safety we we have found felons we

1026
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,960
have found methab we have found fentanyl

1027
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,160
so none of that's directed at a homeless

1028
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,839
person that truly has made some bad

1029
00:42:11,839 --> 00:42:13,480
decisions that we can pull out and give

1030
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,680
them a hand up it's really designed to

1031
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,160
say they're folks Among Us that fighting

1032
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,559
push us on and then not to get political

1033
00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:24,079
but we do have some laxing of standards

1034
00:42:24,079 --> 00:42:26,400
and and Prim statistics and standards in

1035
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,040
Colorado we can't keep in jail any the

1036
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,119
other Jas want to me to remind folks is

1037
00:42:31,119 --> 00:42:33,040
that we have a mental health crisis I

1038
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,480
mental health I think as well as you're

1039
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,559
aware so we do have some people up here

1040
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:41,160
in R for example Jerry and I come from

1041
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,680
you it's no joke it minus 30 you know in

1042
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,640
the winter time we have children I miss

1043
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,400
my presentation on Costa that's this

1044
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,480
coming Wednesday we have an obligation

1045
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,400
to State under State statutes to to go

1046
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,079
take care kids that we find out there to

1047
00:42:54,079 --> 00:42:56,559
and you're right dur knows the property

1048
00:42:56,559 --> 00:42:58,440
um we went to ER was with me one day

1049
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,319
with code enforcement a couple months

1050
00:43:00,319 --> 00:43:02,920
ago and you can see the toys and as soon

1051
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,119
as you see that it Chang M you this is

1052
00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:08,800
squaller call it whatever we want and

1053
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,760
then there's people that don't want help

1054
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,160
you know there's that so I welcome a

1055
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,319
larger conversation uh and again that

1056
00:43:15,319 --> 00:43:17,000
wasn't a standalone it was really

1057
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,240
designed to bring folks like you here to

1058
00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:21,160
say we got all us look at it but there

1059
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,720
was an outcry after that last crime that

1060
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:25,640
did involv some homeless folks we talked

1061
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,880
to our Casino operators for example all

1062
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,760
three of us and what they do is they

1063
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,440
fire me they try to hire them where they

1064
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,520
fire them but where do they go and the

1065
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,400
truth is we don't have a home Shel TR we

1066
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,000
do have faith-based communities we have

1067
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,920
great people like you we all try to help

1068
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,079
and donate our time but we don't have

1069
00:43:42,079 --> 00:43:45,000
capacity and so as winter gets closer as

1070
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,119
we start to see fanol increase here

1071
00:43:47,119 --> 00:43:49,760
which it has here sits on the opio

1072
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,559
account give a wonderful presentation

1073
00:43:51,559 --> 00:43:53,920
about how bad that really is what is

1074
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,359
leading to we're so close to the springs

1075
00:43:57,359 --> 00:43:59,280
that's what we're starting to see so and

1076
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,000
we've had bodies dumped up here you know

1077
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,079
so I just again apologize to you if it

1078
00:44:04,079 --> 00:44:05,680
appeared that we were attacking all

1079
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,280
people it wasn't it's an element within

1080
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,680
that population that is different than I

1081
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,839
was jry first it's not the mountain it's

1082
00:44:14,839 --> 00:44:16,920
not the veteran most of the veterans I

1083
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,359
know that live like that when we left

1084
00:44:18,359 --> 00:44:21,480
alone these are people that are praying

1085
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,349

00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,880
conversations is you know with springs

1094
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,800
Rescue Mission and you know those who do

1095
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,119
not only work with Hess but also work

1096
00:44:52,119 --> 00:44:55,920
with the CH addicted um and I think

1097
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,920
that's the big change that we're seeing

1098
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,280
talking about and it ties into them it

1099
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,680
ties into

1100
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,839
thees but it also ties into kids as well

1101
00:45:04,839 --> 00:45:07,319
and in our work uh on the board of Human

1102
00:45:07,319 --> 00:45:10,079
Services we get you know firsthand

1103
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:13,800
knowledge of our own departments that

1104
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,240
that's who's responsible for now having

1105
00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:19,240
to go out and figure out you know what

1106
00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:20,520
are the conditions that some of these

1107
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,079
kids are in and sometimes they go in and

1108
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:24,040
they're like you know what they have you

1109
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,000
know ways to Bath they they're fed

1110
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,720
getting educated it may not you know

1111
00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:30,319
they may not be living overall in

1112
00:45:30,319 --> 00:45:31,920
conditions that any of us would choose

1113
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,480
and maybe even that they wouldn't choose

1114
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,440
if they if they had that power but as

1115
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,680
long as you know they're being well

1116
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,280
cared for then uh you know that's that's

1117
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,480
what I want to see and you know I've

1118
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:44,680
always said that there's nothing

1119
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,040
compassionate about seeing people living

1120
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,880
in a homeless situation see fames living

1121
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,920
in a homeless situation there's nothing

1122
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,480
compassionate about helping them

1123
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,119
maintain that I want I want more than

1124
00:45:56,119 --> 00:45:57,720
that for those people

1125
00:45:57,720 --> 00:46:01,160
uh and for some of them uh and

1126
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,040
unfortunately we've experienced it uh

1127
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,520
you know more recently where we have

1128
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,920
seen violence uh and more significant

1129
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,119
criminal activity and and it's not

1130
00:46:11,119 --> 00:46:13,119
rooted in homelessness but homelessness

1131
00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:15,200
is part of it and you're exactly right

1132
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,559
in your comment where you said well not

1133
00:46:16,559 --> 00:46:18,920
all homeless are you're exactly right

1134
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,960
not all homeless are but we cannot

1135
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,359
ignore that uh there are people that are

1136
00:46:25,359 --> 00:46:29,880
living homeless uh that are simply here

1137
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,359
because they're don't want to be seen

1138
00:46:31,359 --> 00:46:33,760
somewhere else um it's either because

1139
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,280
they're they're living lifestyle they

1140
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,280
just don't want anybody else to see them

1141
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,040
but you know they've got a WRA sheet

1142
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,520
they've got warrants they've got people

1143
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,319
looking for them um they need you know

1144
00:46:43,319 --> 00:46:45,839
to be responsible for things that they

1145
00:46:45,839 --> 00:46:47,240
um you know that they're trying to

1146
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:49,480
escape from and just like you know when

1147
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,800
I first moved here was a Texas out you

1148
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,880
were probably around in and it exists I

1149
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,000
mean it's like they they come here and

1150
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,079
like all of us they come here and they

1151
00:46:58,079 --> 00:47:00,359
feel safe right um they you know they

1152
00:47:00,359 --> 00:47:01,920
get to the mountains oh we're safe here

1153
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,599
and we can hide in the forest and you

1154
00:47:03,599 --> 00:47:05,599
know and that Shields us and while we

1155
00:47:05,599 --> 00:47:07,839
all enjoy that level of peace that we

1156
00:47:07,839 --> 00:47:09,839
get from that we can't ignore that you

1157
00:47:09,839 --> 00:47:12,480
know there there is a problem which is

1158
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,720
increasing homelessness is a part of

1159
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:15,960
that but there's there's nothing

1160
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,119
passionate about leaving people where

1161
00:47:18,119 --> 00:47:23,200
they are uh and not recognizing that

1162
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,520
unfortunately you know elicit drugs

1163
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,680
plays a huge role in it and as a

1164
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,800
byproduct of elicit drugs you get human

1165
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,720
traffic you get U the continued dealing

1166
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:36,119
of drugs which is you know issue around

1167
00:47:36,119 --> 00:47:38,079
here because they don't have to deal a

1168
00:47:38,079 --> 00:47:39,319
lot of drugs to get enough money to

1169
00:47:39,319 --> 00:47:41,599
maintain a lifestyle of living you know

1170
00:47:41,599 --> 00:47:43,400
in a trailer they don't own on property

1171
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,200
they don't know um so U you know having

1172
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,200
those conversations I know that the

1173
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,960
sheriff and uh the chief police in in

1174
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,480
[ __ ] Creek AV just the other day uh

1175
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,079
to talk about some of the things that that you talks about which is

1176
00:47:58,079 --> 00:47:59,960
getting the proper stakeholders together

1177
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:01,920
to have these discussions about what is

1178
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,400
this going to be we also recognize that

1179
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,079
with the coming of fall means that we're

1180
00:48:07,079 --> 00:48:09,599
going to have cold nights coming up and

1181
00:48:09,599 --> 00:48:11,319
uh winter has a little bit of a

1182
00:48:11,319 --> 00:48:12,520
cleansing effect on our homeless

1183
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,640
population because it's brutal you know

1184
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,000
they come up here at 10,000 fet they

1185
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,280
don't realize what that means and it

1186
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,720
kind of flushes them out but that's have

1187
00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:23,160
a plan for what happens when winter goes

1188
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,119
away and I think that's what a lot of

1189
00:48:25,119 --> 00:48:27,400
this is about what's that plan do both

1190
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,280
from a law enforc also

1191
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,800
Community if I could

1192
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,240
Point speak for Jason but I did talk to

1193
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:40,000
him ination talk to me um he is working

1194
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,079
very closely with the PD here it's a

1195
00:48:42,079 --> 00:48:44,800
jurisdictional issue rather than going

1196
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,480
after homeless folks out there trying to

1197
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,040
sort it out because that's what ends up

1198
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:52,680
happening the Jud might trailer my we

1199
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,240
see everything and it's so much

1200
00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:59,200
worse tell you um they're coming in CRI

1201
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,760
and so what what he's doing along with

1202
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,440
PD is looking for over looking for list

1203
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,760
sex and looking for all that stuff here

1204
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,599
to address the crime whether they live

1205
00:49:09,599 --> 00:49:11,960
in a mansion or they live homeless that

1206
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:13,960
may have an effect as well soing out the

1207
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,240
Predators from the people truly trying

1208
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:23,240
to stand up on them so just no I I I think it's something we're

1209
00:49:23,240 --> 00:49:25,040
very aware of and we understand that

1210
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,280
there's distinct different

1211
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,280
between some of those demographics

1212
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,079
people have just fall on on a hard time

1213
00:49:31,079 --> 00:49:33,359
and people it's a way of life and it's

1214
00:49:33,359 --> 00:49:36,280
their way of life that promotes

1215
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,440
illegalities in a lot of their life but

1216
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,640
we have to distinguish the difference

1217
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,240
help those that want be helped but not

1218
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:46,880
also promote the idea that living out

1219
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,799
there is the best answer in world

1220
00:49:48,799 --> 00:49:51,640

1221

one of the things that you guys are

1292
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:47,839
already learning which a lot of people

1293
00:53:47,839 --> 00:53:50,040
don't learn until later in life is that

1294
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:51,440
you know you work really hard and once

1295
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,319
you work hard and you've seen the

1296
00:53:53,319 --> 00:53:55,119
benefit of your hard work is It's always

1297
00:53:55,119 --> 00:53:56,960
important to turn around and then get

1298
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,200
back loow and you guys are doing that

1299
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,079
you're starting very young doing it and

1300
00:54:01,079 --> 00:54:03,160
I can tell you that uh it's going to pay

1301
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,240
off in Spades not directly but uh you

1302
00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:08,160
know as you get older you're going to

1303
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,640
find that people will begin to look to

1304
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,119
you guys for leadership I think they

1305
00:54:12,119 --> 00:54:14,680
already are even among your peers so uh

1306
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,520

1307
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,280

00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:34,870
that would help at least in some

1353
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,400
measure okay thanks and then two on my

1354
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,359
last visit of course I irritated all you

1355
00:56:40,359 --> 00:56:42,400
guys and some of that some of that was a

1356
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,359
little bit intentional um because I just

1357
00:56:45,359 --> 00:56:46,720
wanted you to see it through somebody

1358
00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:49,520
else's eyes you're coming in there you

1359
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,880
know I know what you're doing you're

1360
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,160
finding that's good some them are just

1361
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,039
working people and have problems it's

1362
00:56:56,039 --> 00:56:58,200
just this is who they are and this is

1363
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,960
how they are and they get very irritated

1364
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,000
about that so my father used to have a

1365
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,599
saying I didn't understand I was younger

1366
00:57:04,599 --> 00:57:06,559
but as I got older understood that

1367
00:57:06,559 --> 00:57:09,240
there's right wrong and legal and I

1368
00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:10,760
would just ask you to bear in mind when

1369
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,880
you do your stuff just because you do

1370
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,359
something that's legal doesn't make it

1371
00:57:15,359 --> 00:57:17,079
necessarily right doesn't necessarily

1372
00:57:17,079 --> 00:57:20,240
make them wrong and like said your job

1373
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,039
is hard I don't discount that in any

1374
00:57:22,039 --> 00:57:24,400
shape form or fashion but like I told

1375
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,640
you I would keep coming in telling you

1376
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,440
this to remind you that um CU I talked

1377
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:30,880
to a lot of people talked to a guy who

1378
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,240
lived here for years and told something

1379
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,240
was going on and his first comment said

1380
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,280
well ioved out here to be left alone

1381
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,480
well isn't the same place it used to be

1382
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,319
but yeah I understand that and so I'm

1383
00:57:41,319 --> 00:57:43,440
going to keep coming and reminding you

1384
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,240
that you know you know all the good

1385
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:46,960

changes come with it and you have to

roll those but but that's just the

1395
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,440
biggest thing just remember you know

1396
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,000
some people that you think you're

1397
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,760

they only ask you questions what art me

1590
01:07:06,279 --> 01:07:09,279
that kind of thing um and way I answer

1591
01:07:09,279 --> 01:07:11,079
that just you know art is unique and

1592
01:07:11,079 --> 01:07:12,960
personal it's the environment around you

1594
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:17,000
