PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE  
COUNCIL COMMENTS  
Mayor Gray recognized the passing away of Mr. Sturm.  
Councilmember Cavey extended her thanks to staff for their hard work at her  
open house with 128 in attendance. The Pine Canyon development came up and  
is before the County. She encouraged people to attend the County meeting to  
submit their comments. She will be opposing it.  
Councilmember Bracken also referenced Pine Canyon development. It is  
currently in the County and is important to the Town as it is in the middle of our  
Town. He does not feel the county should determine what will happen in the  
middle of our Town. He also encouraged people to attend the County meeting.  
Motion by Coucilmember Brooks, Seconded by Councilmember Cavey to  
Direct the Town Attorney to bring the conversation with Douglas County  
and other municipalities that feel they have been impacted by Denver's  
failed migrant policy to sue Denver into stopping bringing in additional  
migrants.  
Councilmember Brooks stated they don't have adequate services or housing and  
it is spilling into other communities.  
Mayor Gray spoke in favor of it. His mother immigrated legally and became a  
citizen. We need to protect our Town and our County.  
Councilmember Dietz feels it is important and it is important to fund our police  
and fire and speaks in favor so that it doesn't take away services to our citizens.  
Motion passed 7-0.  
Dietz feels Pine Canyon should also be done within Town criteria. Dietz reminded  
citizens to continue to remember our past, not forget 9-11 and what we've been  
through, and to remember joy and patriotism.  
UNSCHEDULED PUBLIC APPEARANCES  
Citizens that spoke before Council:  
Juliet Smith, resident, is concerned about a pedestrian crossing between two  
parks and on the way to schools on Meadows Boulevard. She feels the action  
plan is not sufficient to address this crossing.  
David Corliss, Town Manager, stated the staff will follow up with Ms. Smith.  
Councilmember Bracken thanked her for bringing this to the Town's attention.

The applicant gave a presentation.  
Councilmember Brooks confirmed they have been in operation since 2015 and  
that they have not had any issues with other locations that are within proximity of  
a residential area.  
Citizens that addressed Council:  
Laura Martinez works for Sandstone as an Outreach manager, is a mom in Castle  
Rock for 21 years and shared her personal story about her daughter that had to  
find treatment out of state. She emphasized that these kids are already in our  
neighborhoods that have issues. These kids want to be there to get help.  
Mark Davis, resident, was asked by residents in the neighborhood. They want to  
ensure doors are locked at night and kids are not free to leave whenever they  
want. The facility should take full responsibility and have security on site and  
criteria on the type of issues the kids have and should not be allowed to wander  
around at night.  
Les Lilly asks Council to pass this as an employee of the school district for many  
years and feels many kids could benefit from this facility.  
Montee Ball is a former Bronco and father to an 8 year old, and is a clinical  
manager at Sandstone and suffers from a mental disorder. He received the right  
treatment and feels this is a critical service. Some youth will experience hurdles  
that they will need help with. He asked that Council look at this from the  
standpoint that we have all known someone that needs this type of support. If not  
here, then where. Focus on not what we fear, but what will happen.  
Keith Hayes spoke in favor and has served the last 5 years for 528 Recovery  
High School. He has referred students to Sandstone and had success and finds  
these kids want these services. There is a lack of resources for our kids in  
Colorado, and Castle Rock has the opportunity to provide them. He noted 50% of  
his students are from Douglas County.
