Ihad a chance to discuss this with the team and the county attorney. Here are our We would agree to enteri into an IGA with Georgetown for three days a week from 1pm to 7pm for patrol The rate would be at the overtime rate for the deputy on shift. Our deputies make between 78-94ay yearor37- We would determine in advance what days need to be covered based on your needs, and average call volume. We would develop an advanced schedule that could be deviated based on the Town of Georgetown's needs The proposed IGA would: supersede the mutual aid agreement, which is technically no longer in operation since Georgetown PD has no officers and cannot meet its obligations under the mutual aid agreement. We would need to remove the language regarding mutual aid from the IGA. We would also need to add to this agreement or enter into a separate agreement a cost for offering police services on dispatched calls to Georgetown. We could cover Georgetown's dispatched calls for another week or two, but due to staffing and uncertainty of your services as discussed. 41 per hour. On occasion a Sgt. may have to cover a shift which would be a higher rate. The agreement would be for 18 hours per week (special events) department, we would need to start charging for these calls. Asection relating to payment needs to be included in the proposed IGA itself. Ithink what would be best is for your attorney toi take a shot at this (ify you want to move forward with us) and then forward it to me, Matt, Dave, and our county attorney, Peter Lichtman. Ithink that would help expedite this if that is what you would like to do.

Iwill forward what Iget as soon as Ireceive them. pondered what compensation might look like and would propose the following: Pay rate of $11,375 per month (Top of the annual Chief's scale plus 5%) Housing stipend my limited research has shown that housing is a premium in the general area. Idid a Zillow search and found the average to be approximately $2450 for an apartment in the Georgetown area and approximately $2200 for Idaho Springs. (See attached) These were based upon a 1 year lease and may be a bit higher for a shorter term lease. The other option might be the detective I know who advised me he will be having an unfurnished house available to rent soon, located in Idaho Springs. I have placed a call to him to find out about the cost, details and location. Iwill follow up with you when I have more Housing can be structured two ways, depending upon the Town's wishes. Stipend paid to me and Iwill locate short term housing in the general area or the town can rent a property (Possibly this available house in Idaho Springs) which would provide short term housing to me and be an enticement for the permanent Chief when we cross that bridge. This would allow the Town to offer, as a benefit, temporary housing to a new Chiefwhile they are trying to locate Transportation City provided vehicle for business and commuting purposes. information. permanent housing. believe this covers the highlights. This can be structured two ways, Ibelieve. Either as a temporary employee or as a contract 1099. Ibelieve that the temporary employee offers the cleanest set up as we don't have to detail in a contract; liability coverage, workman's comp, comp time, equipment, uniforms and such. As a temporary employee these would then fall under the established town policies and protocols. It also keeps in place the at-will employment and allows for easy adjustment of the time commitment. (6 months or if need to go longer) without re-negotiating a contract. The temp employee is also my preferred method for tax purposes. Please let me know ifl can provide any further information or clarification. Thank you for yours and the Board's consideration and I look forward to hearing back from you. Take care.

The Act creates a state agency responsible for licensing and registration of facilities and related businesses that provide for the use, cultivation, manufacture, and testing of these substances. Further, the state licensing authority will not issue licenses for any building which is within 1000 feet of a childcare center, preschool, elementary, middle, junior high school, or residential childcare facility. While the state statute does not require local governments to enact any local regulations of natural medicine businesses, the Town has the authority to do SO, and several municipalities across the state have chosen to enact various forms of regulation, while other communities have decided not to. Under the Act, the Town may regulate the time, place and manner of the operation of healing centers licensed by the state but may not prohibit the uses entirely. The Town may not prohibit licensed health care facilities or individuals from providing natural medicine services within the Town, nor may it prohibit the transportation of natural medicine on public roads within the Town. Finally, according to the Act, the Town may not impose The intent and effect of the Act is to decriminalize the use and possession (but not the sale, except in the context of a healing center) of certain "natural medicine" (defined at section 12- 170-103(h) of the Act), and to adopt a medical model for those substançes that recognizes both the emerging science on the efficacy of the medical use of such substances when combined with therapy, as well as the cultural significance of the substances to some groups of people. Under the Act, it will be lawful for a "facilitator" that has been licensed by the state to provide, within a licensed "healing center," an "administration session" at which an individual may purchase, consume and experience the effects of a natural medicine. The Act requires that regulations are to be prepared and enforced by the state to include requirements for a "preparation session" prior to an "administration session," and that the "administration session" be followed by an "integration session." The Act also provides that the state regulations "shall include" rules that "allow for locations not owned by a healing center where natural medicine services may be provided by licensed facilitators, including but not limited to, health care regulations that are "unreasonable or in conflict with the [Act)." Memo re natural medicine October 21,2024 Pagel 12 facilities and private residences." These various regulations are now being prepared by the state and must be in place by September 30, 2024. Thereafter, the state is to begin accepting applications for healing center licenses and must act on an application within 60 days of its receipt. Under the Act, it is also lawful for an individual: 1. to possess, store, use, purchase, transport or give away natural medicine for personal use without compensation to a person twenty-one years of age or older; and 2. to grow or process natural medicine for personal use if the growing is done in or on the grounds of a private residence and the growing area is secured from access from persons As noted above, except in the context of a sale within a healing center for the purposes of an administration session (or a sale to a healing center or facilitator by a natural medicine grower or manufacturer), the sale of natural medicine remains unlawful under the Act and related state There are several options available to the Board as it considers whether to regulate natural medicine businesses. Based upon my research, one or a combination of the following options are 1. Enact zoning regulations defining "healing centers" and provide for zone districts where such centers will be permitted to operate. In the communities that have chosen to do this, healing centers are typically permitted in the same locations as for medical office uses. 2. Limit the location of healing centers, whether by zone district, by distance limitations under twenty-one years ofage. laws. available to the Board: from other uses, or both. 3. Limit the times of day during which such uses may operate. 4. Impose other limitations on operation. 5. Require licensure for natural medicine businesses. The municipalities which have chosen not to regulate locally at this time, have made this decision based on a few factors: (1) the state rules on the subject are presently fairly comprehensive, (2) lack of resources to enforce/regulate locally and (3) the concern of whether or even how to regulate locally now. It is important to note that the state regulations already preclude the operation of these facilities within 1000 feet of schools and childcare facilities as Staff would appreciate direction from the Board on whether, and if so to what degree, the Board wishes to regulate these activities.
