"I have spent my adult life serving our Nation and community, but being present for these precious moments in their lives is important to us. While stepping back from an official role, I remain committed to supporting and being an active member of our world-class community," wrote Helms. City Councilmember Mike O'Malley Councilmember O'Malley spoke about his time on City Council and how he helped with the project of transforming the northern section of Marksheffel Road from a two-lane road into a major north-south arterial road, helping people in Banning Lewis Ranch and Black Forest travel to Peterson and Schriever Space Force Bases. Councilmember O'Malley also spoke of his efforts to convince Colorado Springs Utilities to have more than one source and preferably its own second line to ensure Colorado Springs maintains its 99% reliability.
