The law firm of Folkestad Fazekas Barrick & Patoile, P.C. has been nominated for the Secretary of Defense’s 2010 Freedom Award. This Award is the highest recognition given by the Department of Defense to publicly recognize employers who provide support to their National Guard and Reserve employees. Serving in the National Guard and Reserve presents unique challenges. Unlike their Active Duty counterparts, members of the Army and Air National Guard and Reserves serve their nation part-time and work for civilian employers full-time. As America continues to depend upon her citizen warriors to protect Main Street USA, assist with national disasters, or defend the U.S. in faraway places like Afghanistan and Iraq, Employers Support for the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) supports these civilian employers and their Guard and Reserve employees. The estimated number of employers with members of the Guard and Reserve is 125,000. The law firm was nominated by Colonel Aaron W. Barrick, its chief civil litigator and managing director. Colonel Barrick is the State Judge Advocate for Colorado, serving as the senior legal advisor to the Adjutant General of the State and supervising all legal personnel of the Army and Air Guard. The Freedom Award is presented annually to the nation’s 15 most supportive employers. Folkestad Fazekas Barrick & Patoile, P.C. was recognized as a nominee at the annual awards banquet for ESGR recently.

JIM FOLKESTAD WEARS MANY HATS AS A DIRECTOR OF THE CASTLE ROCK ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
For many years Jim Folkestad has been heavily involved with the work of the Castle Rock Economic Development Council, a public/private partnership, whose mission is to promote the economic health of Castle Rock. Mr. Folkestad has been a member of the Board of Directors of that organization for many years, and has also been Chairman of the organization’s Policy Committee since its inception. The function of the Policy Committee is to review proposed Town regulations which may have an adverse effect upon economic development within the Town of Castle Rock and to advocate for amendments to render them more “business friendly”. The Policy Committee has an excellent relationship with the Town’s Department of Development Services and is able to work with them in a non-adversarial fashion which makes for both good governmental regulation and good economic sense.
Mr. Folkestad is also a representative from the Castle Rock EDC to the Douglas County Business Alliance, a group which reviews potential state legislation that impacts business interests within Douglas County and promotes legislation which would be beneficial to business interests. The group, which is comprised of two members of each economic development organization and chamber of commerce throughout Douglas County has enjoyed considerable success in representing Douglas County business interests in the state legislature.
The Special District Association is a state wide organization serving the needs of special districts throughout the state. Special districts provide services such as water and sewer, fire protection, emergency services and parks and recreation. Colorado special districts also include metropolitan districts which provide a broad variety of services. They are political subdivisions of the State of Colorado and have full governmental powers relative to the services they provide. Mr. Folkestad has provided legal representation to special districts for more than thirty years. Mr. Folkestad works as a member of the SDA’s Legislative Committee, which advocates the interests of special districts in the State Legislature.
