"So we know what the demographic is but it would you say. It's the minority people who are nervous coming back in for me For at least for what i see. I think it's probably about thirty percent of the outcome in our little. Hasn't you know they. They come in wearing their masks. And they wear their masks all the way to their seats and That's your to me. That's a significant portion. That are still quite hesitant yet. Yeah i'm probably the same for us But i think there's surrounding communities that Larimer county being one of them had a little bit stricter mass mandate them well county Had throughout the whole thing right to so. I think people that are used to Coming from or going to places in fort collins loveland or in those areas are a little more usa. Just you just automatically put your mask on when you walk inside become second nature. Yeah we were in fort collins on sunday just hitting some shops and we went over to crooked stave and in a couple of other berries. Peop- you know. A lot of people are still inside. wear their masks and in a lot of the restaurants still require That you wear your mask to get to table and it's probably not a bad idea at this stage of the game to just be a little bit more cautious because you don't know i mean fifty percent of the people have been vaccinated but what about the other fifty percent right. I don't know if the staff or ever gonna wanna give him up because then people can see their faces. Unruly customer sticking their tongue out at some. So you know now. Larimer county is one hundred percent capacity. No social distancing unknown math mandate that came down as well. That was effective. Starting on monday That mask mandate doesn't fall into place because they're following along with the state guidelines and recommendations. So that's i mean that's a big change for as strict as larimer county was with it. That's a huge change. While you're gonna it's gonna take some time for all everywhere to kind of implementing and decide what's best for their their operation so like. I said sunday there are a lot of places we're still you know requesting social distancing there still not one hundred based on the size of the place You could tell they weren't at full capacity yet and there's still a lot of mask wearing going on a lot of at full capacity still is based upon how many employees you have to sure absolutely absolutely well and then what what. I'm wondering now is you know. We'll be the local businesses. That and i think it will. It'll be the local businesses started. Peel back these restrictions. I but you could own a lot of these chains. They're still going to keep the mask mandate in place. I mean that that's going to be around for the nationwide chain because the rules are so different from state to state you know.

Bob schaffer check in with us on this bill This is the one that Is going to cause an immense amount of trouble. I believe in the school systems This is senate. Bill one eighty two. It's got a good concern for the well-being especially minority kids but on the other hand. I think sometimes we're we're trying to solve the problem. The wrong way I think bob schaefer pointed that out as we were talking to him a little bit ago but back to this bill just for a minute. This is thirty pages of legislation that has quite a voluminous piece of legislation. And you know what happens after they finish passing legislation like this then the people in the regulatory agencies especially in this case the education folks are gonna go to work and they're going to start writing regulations. I've seen ten twenty thirty pages of regulations written from a one page bill The in i haven't seen the fiscal note but this things got to cost a lot of money. Okay well let me move on. I wanted to spend a little bit of time this morning on a probably already out of it already. Because there is a controversy. Right here in greeley about the terry rich project. This has to do with water it has to do with an aquifer that exists up around the terry ranch property. It's up on the wyoming border. The actual ranch dead is in wyoming. Just right on the border. Literally and durant extends down into weld county there is an aquifer down there that has an incredible amount of water in it and there are some people who are opposed to going after that water and buying that water one of the opposition Folks i heard say because there is uranium in that water that can be through treatment safely removed from the water. He said but it's expensive and that's probably true. But here's the problem. Water in northern colorado is expensive period whether you have to treat it to take uranium out just to buy it if it was the freshest most pure water in the whole wide world. It's still expensive and in putting this project together. I think what the folks greeley here are. Trying to do is admirable. They're trying to make sure there's enough water for this community as it grows we. We've seen some pretty meteoric growth here in northern colorado over the past twenty years especially greeley's exception. All of the towns are booming in towns didn't even literally exist as much of anything back twenty five years ago have suddenly just bloomed into huge communities. I'm talking about timothy. Timothy used to be this little backwater in larimer county right very close to the weld line. They didn't even have sewer system there thirty years ago. Not they were on septic out there and wells now. It's they've got water tower. They got water. They got sewer. They got it all. And it's one of the fastest growing areas in northern colorado. Tim north beyond that. We've got severance. It's booming greeley's growing for collins is growing but not too fast because they're gonna landlocked there They can grow out by the brewery. But that's about it. Everything else is pretty. Well already built Yeah well. I just hope that the folks that are in favor of this as i. Am this ranch. Kind of ingenious you take an aquifer you take the water out once you get the water out and you use it then you put fresh water in it and use it as a storage place. One of the biggest problems with storing water is evaporation. It's evaporate it's underground it may seep in a little bit. But it wouldn't be there. That wasn't a fairly secure. Aquifer doesn't leak already all right. Well we got some other things. But i i'm sure riot is in their stump chomping at the bit. I've got to take a breath. take a breath. i need to tell you.

The chamber of commerce in the city is put together an administrative group In that group is going to be making a lot of decisions and and In working to make this as easy as possible but It's not like you're gonna have the same type of inspection from one department to another. Obviously the health department in our county is is very keen on making sure that we are being a safe safest possible in the food and the drinks we serve our customers and so that's what they put a lot of their energy and An effort and and i don't this this new kind of health committee Isn't going to be focused on that. They're going to focused more on On cleanliness of tables. You know hand. Sanitizer table distancing Filtration of our air system air moving through the deal and so And i wouldn't you know again. We're not sure how often they're going to be doing inspections. But i would imagine that it's going to be a frequent. You know once a week type thing. I can't see that being the case. Almost almost better name florida's the covid nineteen taskforce or something along those lines to get into it. You got to have a task force for everything but so where does greeley stand right now in this process of trying to get certified for the five star program so we applied the city applied last Thursday or wednesday last wednesday thursday in from our knowledge. We are at the front of the line We're waiting on the state to approve our plan Basically they they put together this huge massive plan. Lots of work on their and submit to the state We know that a lot of other counties in the state of also applied from we understand We're kind of at the front of the line The got thrown a bit of a curve ball last week when the governor decided to move every county to orange and allow businesses to operate regardless of the five star program And so i think the the The colorado department of health is kind of working quick as they can to deal with. What they they were thrown from the governor but also trying to get these programs going. So i think we're we're hopeful that we'll get some feedback or maybe even approved as a city in the next couple of days maybe early next week. We were hoping that it would have happened sooner but but it's just taking longer than we thought we. We think we're at the front of the line so we think we'll be one of the first ones to be approved medicine. Four seventy seven to stealing Discussing the star program and the city of greeley trying to get that various put in place and you talked about that curb. All of the governor moving everybody up to level orange that actually buy some time for greeley businesses. As as of right now if you did have the five variant. We'd still have to operate under level orange correct because it's not a legitimate orange. I guess because the governor moved everybody up. Yeah that's what that's what we understand to a little confusion there. It's not a. I guess it's not a legitimate orange and that the county's haven't met the official criteria to move their their dial officially The word that i've heard. I don't take officially. I've heard that we will be able to officially move our dial In the next couple of weeks and when that happens in any five star variants program business can operate and level yellow which for my business needs fifty percent occupancy and a and a few few lesser restrictions on our business. Oh well and and it seems like we were going to be able to do that Get the numbers that you discussed down. Larimer county was in the process of that having to maintain under that three hundred and fifty incident rate. They jumped to three fifty eight yesterday. So they're back to zero so it could be tricky for at least getting started in that downward trend because once you reach that level if to be there for seven days which you understand your and we are. I think everybody kind of assuming we're going to feel a little bit of a spike from the holidays. And so i think we're all kinda hang on to see if that happens but but it definitely feels like we're a lot closer to being able to operate in yellow than we were a month ago. That's for sure. Yeah a lotta sense of hope and optimism coming in to twenty twenty one starting off with a bang with At least being able to open up to twenty five percent Mat talk about that. Specifically your expertise would be in a business owner with four seventy seven. Distilling the hatchet house downtown. What is what's the difference. I mean how big of a difference is that zero to twenty five percent. Indoor occupancy any occupancy indoors. This time of year is a big deal we tried especially with the distillery tried to do the outdoor seating thing and And we had very very little success. I would say it's just too cold outside right now and even our our partners next door the rio they had all sorts of propane heaters and they were telling me that tables would request three or four heaters just to stay warm to be able to eat outside to being able to have any. Indoor capacity is huge. Obviously the more capacity we have the better But we'll take a we can get right now and and being able to still do go cocktails to go food to go. You know for us bottle. Sales It feels like we were were maybe turned the corner to seeing some positive.

"Outdoor. Entertainment events are limited to twenty five percent capacity where the camp of seventy five people so the cap is what changes all over the place and it's just the first layer of confusion going into this. The second layer. Let's talk about the five star program or in larimer county the level up program right there two different names same program with the level up program the five star program. Anybody who was in red was operating orange. Well with that wave of the magic one now anybody. Any other counties that are in orange can be operating yellow so that now adds up to fifty percent capacity and i think that this is interesting for a lot of reasons one of the main reasons talking about this move to level orange specifically four larimore and even weld county but specifically larimer county is that they were headed there. They were probably a week away from meeting. The requirements of being moved up to level orange weld county probably a week behind that so this was just moving up. The the timing of this. I think is a little interesting because this is right after christmas and we what have we been worried about for all this time i. It was the thanksgiving bump then. It was going to be the christmas bump in the new year's bump are not going to see that and i thought that was interesting. Timing to be moving people up nonetheless. The governor says let's go and they move people up to level orange now they aren't necessarily therefore good they can fall back to level red and and there's all those requirements to be met. This also leads to the bigger question. Of how much do we trust the dial dashboard now. The cove nineteen dial dashboard. Because they're the regulations that said needed to be met. We're not met yet. They have every county that was in red was moved up so it. It's interesting going forward. Not saying i disagree with the decision at all..
