| 58 | + <p> |
| 59 | + I discovered from attending a board meeting of the Evergreen |
| 60 | + Park and Recreation District that a group was meeting on the |
| 61 | + disposition of Bergen Meadow Elementary School. Jenny Touhey and |
| 62 | + I met personally with a representative of the group on 3/31/25, |
| 63 | + and I invited her to speak to the The Trails HOA board. |
| 64 | + </p> |
| 65 | + <p> |
| 66 | + Here's a summary of what Coordinator Linda Kirkpatrick, |
| 67 | + Executive Director of the Evergreen Legacy Fund, presented to |
| 68 | + The Trails HOA board on 4/9/25: |
| 69 | + </p> |
| 70 | + <ul> |
| 71 | + <li> |
| 72 | + In April of 2024, the Board of Education announced Bergen |
| 73 | + Meadow was 1 of 19 properties to be disposed of. Their process |
| 74 | + stated offering to municipalities first, then to the general |
| 75 | + marketplace otherwise. Their plan to dispose of 4 properties |
| 76 | + at a time took longer than anticipated. |
| 77 | + </li> |
| 78 | + <li> |
| 79 | + Foothills Regional Housing (considered a special district with |
| 80 | + a 45-year presence in Evergreen) had been formulating plans to |
| 81 | + apply for acquisition of the 13 acres. EPRD pulled together |
| 82 | + other special districts (Evergreen Fire and Evergreen Metro), |
| 83 | + hoping to qualify as a quasi-municipality. The group invited |
| 84 | + Foothills Regional Housing to the table, building a cohesive |
| 85 | + approach rather than a competitive one, as no one group needed |
| 86 | + 13 acres. Initially, the process did not allow for |
| 87 | + sub-dividing. |
| 88 | + </li> |
| 89 | + <li> |
| 90 | + The group of 4 special districts, 6 nonprofit entities, and 1 |
| 91 | + architectural firm learned the existing building would likely |
| 92 | + need to be razed due to environmental concerns. |
| 93 | + </li> |
| 94 | + <li> |
| 95 | + Members of the group lobbied independently: |
| 96 | + <ul> |
| 97 | + <li> |
| 98 | + to urge the BOE to move Bergen Meadow up on the list. and |
| 99 | + to allow for Foothills Regional Housing and EPRD to |
| 100 | + co-present, each bidding for a portion of the land |
| 101 | + </li> |
| 102 | + <li> |
| 103 | + to familiarize Jeffco Commissioners of Evergreen's desire |
| 104 | + to have this for community use |
| 105 | + </li> |
| 106 | + </ul> |
| 107 | + </li> |
| 108 | + <li> |
| 109 | + On March 13, 2025, the BOE announced |
| 110 | + <ul> |
| 111 | + <li> |
| 112 | + Bergen Meadow would be on the second set of 4 properties |
| 113 | + to be sold as "surplus" |
| 114 | + </li> |
| 115 | + <li> |
| 116 | + they would recognize Jefferson County as the municipal |
| 117 | + entity with first right of refusal |
| 118 | + </li> |
| 119 | + <li>they would allow the land to be subdivided</li> |
| 120 | + </ul> |
| 121 | + </li> |
| 122 | + <li> |
| 123 | + On March 31, 2025, the Deputy County Manager asked to sit in |
| 124 | + on the meeting of the Evergreen group to gather information on |
| 125 | + how the community would use the 13 acres vs. how the county |
| 126 | + might use it. The Evergreen group put together a case for |
| 127 | + community use as follows: |
| 128 | + <ul> |
| 129 | + <li> |
| 130 | + Senior Housing / Athletic Fields / Senior Services |
| 131 | + <ul> |
| 132 | + <li> |
| 133 | + Foothills Regional Housing would acquire a portion of |
| 134 | + the property on which to construct two 3-story |
| 135 | + buildings, roughly on the same footprint as the |
| 136 | + school. These buildings would be for senior housing |
| 137 | + (rentals) to help fill a deficit of housing for the |
| 138 | + senior population. |
| 139 | + </li> |
| 140 | + <li> |
| 141 | + EPRD would acquire the rest of the property to include |
| 142 | + the athletic fields, playground equipment, and |
| 143 | + additional open space sufficient to construct a |
| 144 | + community center or senior center in the future (the |
| 145 | + building not necessarily owned and operated by EPRD). |
| 146 | + This would include access roads and parking for |
| 147 | + fields. |
| 148 | + </li> |
| 149 | + <li> |
| 150 | + A place for senior services to help fill the |
| 151 | + tremendous void created by the pullout of the Seniors |
| 152 | + Resource Center in 2019. |
| 153 | + </li> |
| 154 | + </ul> |
| 155 | + </li> |
| 156 | + </ul> |
| 157 | + </li> |
| 158 | + <li> |
| 159 | + On April 14, 2025, the County Manager and representatives of |
| 160 | + the BOE were to meet to discuss options. The Evergreen group |
| 161 | + is optimistic that the county would suggest a way to broker |
| 162 | + this on their behalf. |
| 163 | + </li> |
| 164 | + <li> |
| 165 | + Everything depends on price tags that BOE puts on the |
| 166 | + property.... |
| 167 | + <ul> |
| 168 | + <li> |
| 169 | + Foothills Regional Housing would need to acquire financing |
| 170 | + </li> |
| 171 | + <li> |
| 172 | + EPRD board would need to approve the expenditure in the |
| 173 | + midst of the expansion of Buchanan Park facilities |
| 174 | + </li> |
| 175 | + </ul> |
| 176 | + </li> |
| 177 | + </ul> |
| 178 | + <p>The BOD of The Trails seemed very receptive.</p> |
