| KCRMD Extends Lease on Community Center Until 2036The Ken-Caryl Ranch Metropolitan District (KCRMD) and Jefferson County have reached a mutual agreement to extend the lease on the Community Center campus and buildings. The lease extension, approved by the KCRMD in April and Jefferson County Commissioners on June 19, extends the current lease agreement on the property until Dec. 12, 2036. With the multi-million dollar planned capital improvements to the Community Center approved by voters in May of 2014, the KCRMD Board had requested an extension of the current lease term to cover the timeframe of the estimated useful lives of the assets being improved. The lease may be renewed for an additional 35-year term in 2036 upon written approval of both parties. The Community Center has been leased and operated by the KCRMD since 1991 when Jefferson County purchased the property for use by the community and the general public. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, KCRMD is responsible for all operating and improvement costs of the facility and campus.

Jefferson County Sheriff Clarifies Use and Possession of FireworksThe Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office would like to clarify Colorado law as it applies to the use and possession of fireworks in the unincorporated areas of Jefferson County, including all of Ken-Caryl. A good rule of thumb: any device that explodes or leaves the ground is illegal in Colorado. Illegal fireworks include but are not limited to firecrackers, cherry bombs, bottle rockets, M-80s and Roman candles. It is illegal to sell, use or possess non-permissible fireworks in unincorporated Jefferson County. Colorado law defines permissible fireworks as any device that does not explode or leave the ground. Examples of permissible fireworks are cylindrical or cone fountains, sparklers, toy smoke devices, snakes and glow worms. However, all fireworks are prohibited in Jefferson County Open Space Parks, Denver Mountain Parks, Ken-Caryl Open Space and Forest Service lands. The Jefferson County fireworks hotline, 303-271-8200, may be used to report the use of illegal fireworks, to find fireworks stand locations, and to find commercial firework displays.
