Woodland Park City Council condemns 'unlimited use of executive orders' by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis

WOODLAND PARK • The Woodland Park City Council on Thursday passed a resolution condemning Gov. Jared Polis’ “unlimited use of executive orders” during the pandemic, asking the state legislature to vote on whether the governor’s actions meet the requirements of protecting public health and safety. The resolution passed 4-2, with Mayor Pro Tem Hilary LaBarre and council members Stephanie Alfieri, Rusty Neal and Jim Pfaff in favor. Councilwoman Kellie Case and Councilman Robert Zuluaga voted against the resolution. “The governor has circumvented the representative balance of government, wherein emergency powers are limited and requires the legislature to convene to discuss and vote on any additional extension that would infringe on Coloradans’ liberties,” the town resolution reads.

Woodland Park City Council remembers late Mayor Val Carr

WOODLAND PARK • In its first regular meeting since his death, the City Council on Thursday honored the late Mayor Val Carr as a hardworking public servant who made a deep impact on the bedroom community a half-hour’s drive west from Colorado Springs. Carr, who stepped into his role as mayor last April, died Tuesday after a two-month battle with COVID-19. His death was a shock to the community, which just six months before bore the loss of former Mayor Neil Levy, who died in August of complications from kidney cancer. Levy was 66. After opening the meeting with a moment of silence to honor Carr, 71, council members and city staff recalled happier memories of the man they described as passionate, funny and dedicated. They recalled his love for music and how, clad in a top hat and handing out sheet music, he led the community in singing Christmas carols at the city’s annual tree lighting in December.
