Attachments: 4th Judicial District Court Eviction Recovery Program

Magistrate Andrea Paprzycki, 4th Judicial District Court, presented the 4th

Judicial District Court Eviction Recovery Program. She provided an

overview of the Division Care (Div CARE) three-part program, mediation,

automated tools, post eviction recovery, El Paso County eviction statistics,

Div CARE data, long-term outlook, and benefits for the community.

President Helms asked of the 8,337 evictions, how many of them were

squatters. Judge Paprzycki stated none of them were because squatters

are the removal of unauthorized people.

Councilmember Henjum asked what the cause of the increase in evictions

from 2021 to present. Judge Paprzycki stated it could be due to legislation,

increased rent prices, COVID, housing inspections, and loss of governor

protections.

Councilmember Henjum asked when their grant will run out. Judge

Paprzycki stated it runs out in August, 2026.

Councilmember Talarico how many people are on staff. Judge Paprzycki

stated there are two staff members.

Councilmember Talarico asked how City Council can help get the word out

about this program. Judge Paprzycki explained they coordinate with

partners at community events and data sharing with agencies which can

assist people.

Councilmember Talarico asked if they coordinate with the school districts.

Judge Paprzcki confirmed they work with all the school districts except two

of them.

Councilmember Donelson asked which three categories of population the

state will pay mediation for. Judge Paprzycki stated recipients of

Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Disability Insurance

(SSDI), and Colorado Works Program.

Councilmember Donelson asked if they are asking for $215,000 for

staffing. Judge Paprzycki stated they are only asking for half of that

because one of the staff members’ salaries could be funded by the County

Clerk’s Office through a position that will be available in April 2025.

Councilmember Donelson asked how landlords feel about this program.

Judge Paprzycki stated they are grateful for it.

Councilmember Donelson asked how many people of the 8,337 have

gotten evicted. Judge Paprzycki stated she does not have the exact

number, but she believes most of them have been required to move.

Councilmember Avila asked how they address the stereotype that these

individuals who are facing eviction are not freeloaders. Judge Paprzycki

stated for the most part, these people are hardworking individuals who may

be facing eviction due to illness in the family or other unforeseen

circumstances.

President Helms asked if the mills will be increased for residents who are

currently living there. Ms. Stocker stated they will not because this property

is not built out yet.

Councilmember Henjum asked why the developer is asking for more

funding to build parks when that should have been covered in the Master

Plan. Councilmember O’Malley stated the free market will determine if this

is acceptable and whether people will pay the premium. Tim Siebert,

Nor’Wood Development Group, stated they do have metropolitan districts

in place to finance infrastructure improvements and this proposed district

will overlay the existing metropolitan district in order for the developer to

own and maintain the neighborhood and community parks for as long as

district exists which takes the obligation off of the City.

Councilmember Donelson asked how many voters will be serviced by

these parks. Mr. Siebert stated approximately 12,000. Councilmember

Donelson stated that these voters may not vote in favor of tax increases for

other parks because they are already paying for their neighborhood parks.

Councilmember Henjum asked if the City’s Park, Recreation, and Cultural

Services Department (PRCS) is in favor of the proposed district. Britt

Haley, Director, PRCS, stated this is a particular proposal is a creative

solution to provide park services and the funding builds into a property tax

formula which is a more stable funding mechanism than the sales tax

formula the City relies on for park operation and maintenance.

SettOptionsAnalysis

Wynetta Massey, City Attorney, presented the Ordinances amending City

Code pertaining to settlement authority and criminal actions. She provided

an overview of settlement authority limits, Ordinance No. 90-53, litigation

settlements since 2020, dollars saved, recommendations, criminal actions,

and next steps.

Councilmember Donelson asked how the settlement amounts from 1990

were determined. Ms. Massey stated she does not have that information.

Councilmember Donelson stated he is comfortable with doubling those

numbers, but what is being proposed seems too large of a jump and

believes that City Council should have the option to defend employees who

were acting in good faith.

Councilmember O’Malley stated it is less about the money and more about

whether City Council gives up its authority.

Councilmember Risley stated he understands the necessity for the City

Attorney to have some latitude for negotiating, but one of the roles of the

Legislative Branch is to provide checks and balances for the

Administrative Branch and he supports an increase equal to doubling the

original amounts but does not support the proposed threshold amounts.

President Helms asked if the City Attorney had the authority, could several

cases have been settled for a lower amount. Erik Lamphere,

Employment/Litigation Division Chief, City Attorney’s Office (CAO),

confirmed there have been a handful of cases where that has occurred

during mediation.

Councilmember Talarico commented that these settlement amounts should

be reviewed more frequently than thirty-five years.

Ms. Massey proposed the general litigation limit amount be increased to

$150,000 for the City Attorney’s settlement authority, $250,000 for the

Claims Review Board (CRB), and Police Use of Force cases be increased

to $100,000 for the City Attorney and $200,000 for the CRB.

Councilmember Henjum asked why these increases are being proposed at

this time. Ms. Massey stated it addresses some of the concerns which

have been expressed, updated settlement limits are long overdue, and she

would like to see the settlement limits adjusted before she retires to make

claim and litigation settlement less uncertain for the City.

Councilmember Donelson recommended the general litigation amount be

$100,000 for the City Attorney’s settlement authority.

Councilmember Henjum requested the settlement amounts data over the

past ten years. Ms. Massey stated they will provide that information from

2020 to present.

Councilmember Avila stated she supports the original increase in

settlement authority due to the increase in the cost of living and inflation.

Councilmember Leinweber stated he supports Councilmember Donelson’s

recommendation to double the settlement authority in order to retain City

Council’s authority over financial decisions.

Councilmember O’Malley stated he would also like City Council to retain its

authority over these decisions.

Ms. Massey stated she will provide Ordinances with the two recommended

amounts which City Council can vote on at the March 25, 2025 meeting.
