📰 News we're reading
1. Aurora Councilmember Rob Andrews' DUI case rescheduled for June (sentinelcolorado.com) — Aurora at-large Councilmember Rob Andrews’ DUI case has been delayed, with his arraignment now set for June 2 as attorneys say they’re working toward a resolution. Police report he was arrested in east-central Aurora in January after allegedly driving erratically and registering a high blood-alcohol level, and body camera footage shows his interaction with officers and booking at the Aurora detention center. 
2. Aurora lawmakers reject agreement between police and ICE detention facility (sentinelcolorado.com) — Aurora’s city council has rejected a new agreement that would have clarified how local police respond to incidents at the city’s controversial federal immigration detention facility. The existing agreement with the GEO-run ICE center remains in place, but several councilmembers and residents argued the updated deal lacked transparency and failed to address longstanding concerns about conditions and accountability at the Aurora site.
3. State approves plan for 24 oil wells near Aurora Reservoir (kdvr.com) — State regulators have approved 24 new oil wells just over half a mile from Aurora Reservoir, despite years of organized neighborhood opposition. The decision clears SM Energy to move forward under Colorado safety rules, while local group Save the Aurora Reservoir warns about potential health risks and water contamination if an accident occurs.
4. Aurora officer recovering after being stabbed in the head during mental health call (9news.com) — An Aurora police officer is recovering in rehabilitation after being stabbed in the head while responding to a mental health crisis call on East Stanford Circle earlier this month. Police say Officer Mark Moore fired his weapon while being attacked, killing the 23-year-old man involved, and that both he and his K9 partner, who was also injured, are expected to recover.
5. Traffic calming measures in Aurora can be requested by residents (9news.com) — Aurora residents can directly request traffic-calming projects like roundabouts, flashing crosswalks, and speed cushions through the city’s Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program, which has a $600,000 annual budget. Engineers review crash data and resident applications, then fund 12–18 projects a year, as seen in the Conservatory neighborhood and near Montview Elementary School.
