fire risk and would create a mitigation plan. unfortunately the subject of its last retreat is always a point that comes up in these discussions, burning down five years ago in an accidental fire. the hearing the set to begin at 8:30 a.m. and commissioners are expected to vote on whether or not the arch diocese can change the zoning on this 250- of land. jamie leary, cbs 4 morning news. new this morning, the reward to catch the people who killed a security guard is up to $50,000. two men killed travis mason in june while he worked at the green heart dispensary in aurora. that was caught on security video. he'd only been on the form for a couple weeks. the former marine left behind a wife and three young children. police need help identifying this man.

>> reporter: after a 27-9 win for the broncos, they improve to 5-2. one of the big stories tonight, the denver defense shutting down brock osweiler, holding him to under 100 yards passing until late in the fourth quarter. the running game came to life tonight. >> didn't get off to a hot start but anderson and booker both finishing with season highs. the broncos had a they have improved to 5-2. >> you know, just running hard and then i come in with the change of pace, running hard again. just breaking the defense down. you know, they think since he's running hard, i'm going to come in and run soft but it's the same way. >> i've always tried to show my ability and run through things. just feels good to be fresh.

one-two punch thing going, we can go as far as we want to. >> they have been honest about having to establish the running game and the troubles they have had. good to see them get that going. >> after a long wait after six days, san diego will be in town in a crucial matchup for the west. >> feels pretty good this morning for the broncos. some of us remeer they are putting names behind big election issues. what they want to do ahead of the election. >> and it's been a warm start to the fall season, and some ski resorts are having trouble

,,

it's no secret. donald trump isn't for us. and unfortunately, congressman coffman isn't, either. just listen. and as families struggle to make ends meet, coffman voted against equal pay for equal work 11 times. it gets worse. coffman said he would support donald trump for president. and that's all we really need to know.

when i became governor, i knew we had to protect our colorado way of life. it's why i need a good team in the state senate. like rachel zenzinger, a former teacher who's fought for equal pay for equal work. daniel kagan championed property tax rebates to help seniors afford their utility bills. jenise may worked to cut taxes for 30,000 small businesses. and tom sullivan is a veteran who believes in an open and transparent government.

. feels awesome out there again, doesn't it? >> we'll have more on that with ashton. >> we keep checking the calendar. it is really the final week in october. and this is why we have been so warm and why we're going to continue to be so warm. it's the placement of the jet stream, which divides the cold air and warm air. usual by by this it's a little further south. all that cool fall weather remains up to the north of us. we have a little system riding along the jet stream this morning. i mean a little system. that's why this is not a major storm for the colorado high country. it is bringing beneficial rain to the western slope here this morning. the san juans seeing rain, even a few lightning strikes near telluride. grand junction, we have

70. this is trying to move into the mountains. so far it's been unsuccessful. as the day goes on, we'll see a few rain and snow showers for the high country, including summit and eagle counties. with the warm temperatures, the snow level is up about 10,000 feet and there won't be much accumulation. going over the passes, could bei precipitation will have ended with denver maybe seeing a rain drop but that's it. temperatures are in the 50s along the front range. later today we're back in the low to middle 70s. not quite as warm as yesterday but still far above normal, 74 in denver. tomorrow 73, then we're in the 70s through the end of the week and through the upcoming weekend. take a look at the roads, a great victory drive this morning. should be nice and wide open

construction along c-470 north of 285. that's what we are seeing here. southbound, we have speeds in the 60s. nine minutes denver to thornton along i-270. here we are southbound coming into town. we have a lot of cars out there but they are all cooperating nicely. that's leading to great speeds, down around the stadium even, happened there. should be a great drive. southbound 225, eastbound c-470 all nice and wide open as well. developing now, questions around why a father jumped from a bridge with his two children last night in new jersey. the man died but the young boys thankfully survived. a woman told police she and her husband were arguing and the man said he was going to hurt the children. police tracked him down at the bridge and police say the boys will be okay.

popular athletes want a different kind of support. >> they want you to follow their lead when voting in a few weeks. >> reporter: two of colorado's greatest sports heroes, john elway and chauncey phillips, both lending their voices to amendments. >> amendment 71 vote. >> reporter: phillips supports hillary clinton. >> we are here today to endorse hillary clinton. >> reporter: monday phillips appeared alongside the mayor, stumping for clinton. >> i'm not a politician nor do i have a desire to be. >> reporter: he says he decided to endorse clinton after hearing donald trump's locker

assault, it's flatout disgraceful. i've never been part of a locker room like that nor will i be. >> reporter: and they pull a lot of weight in colorado. >> both are seen as pillars of the community in many ways. they kind of transcend sports. >> reporter: do their endorsements make a difference? for regular voters, probably not. for sports fans, maybe. >> there are voters that don't pay much attention for them to pay any attention, this probably accomplishes

,, a man attacked me in a parking garage. tried to stab me with an 8-inch knife. but i carry a pistol. that's why i'm still here. every woman has a right to defend herself with a gun if she chooses. hillary clinton disagrees with that. don't let politicians take away your right to own a gun.

. welcome back. nearly 150 million receive health benefits through employers and it is open enrollment. >> and that means paperwork and big decisions. jill, what do we know about the heth that are going to happen next year? >> the premiums of the plans vary so significantly. that means of course, a little home work for you. you have to review the current plan and ask yourself some questions. what did i spend over the last year on my health and medical costs? what do i think i'm going to spend next year? maybe somebody developed a condition that requires more

year. once you figure that out, determine what the plans cover, how much they cost. don't forget to include the copays and deductibles. that's the biggest increases out of your pocketbook. and you should figure out whether or not your doctors are in each of the different plans' networks. >> many employers offer high deductible plans. so who should use them? >> they are what they sound deductibles. for 2017, they are at least $1,300 for individual, $2,600 for a family. that's a big chunk of money. in exchange for paying the higher amount of costs before the coverage kicks in, you have lower monthly premiums. what happens is the high deductible plans are usually paired with a health savings account.

spending account, allowing you to set aside pretax dollars for medical expenses. for 2017 you can put in $3,400 pretax. that's a lot of money. you don't have to use it next year, it rolls over year to year. just like the retirement account, hsa accounts new york city tax there. there's a provision allowing you to put an extra $1,000 a year if if you're healthy, these plans make sense. if you don't have young children they can be very helpful. even for older people, trying to accumulate a big chunk of money that's tax free so they can have that available as they get into their 60s and cover unreimbursed medical expenses. you should really check these out.

home work, sorry. >> thank you, jill. good morning, everybody. if you're traveling today, it will be the west half of colorado with some rain and snow. very high snow levels in the state today. heading west, there are a few showers. i don't think anything to cause any major disruptions today. east coast, looking good, mostly sunny skies there. all major airports around the country >> you may be dragging this morning getting out of bed after that late night game, but look at the drive. heading out the door, a lot of green on the map, especially southbound coming into town. i-70 inbound looking good. the a-line is running on time. right now, battle over land in jeffco heads to court today,

retreat built. >> plus a crash in denver kills a man. we were there as police investigated. what we know about what happened, ahead. when brock osweiler got to houston, he said he thought the texans gave him the best chance to be successful. the broncos defense know him well, holding brock to under 100 yards until late in the fourth quarter and didn't allow the texans touchdown, giving up just three field goals. >> i looked up in the fourth quarter, had like 70 yards passing. i just, you know, smiled on the inside. that's what we wanted to do. he came out here and struggled. he should have stayed. >> we knew the struggles.

beginning but got better as the game went on. >> any time you can hold a quarterback down like that, you have to be proud of that effort. >> we are proud of ourselves. brock is a good quarterback. we pride ourselves on that. we're supposed to do that every day. >> reporter: and now just six days until the chargers

defense and dropped at this point. it is denver's ball. >> there went the ball, there went the game for brock osweiler. the matchup against the texans was just what the broncos wanted and needed. so who's the better quarterback now? the broncos are 5-2 after the 27-9 win and tied with in first this morning. thank you for joining us. feels pretty good this morning. i'm alan gionet. >> i'm britt moreno. thanks for being here. the next game is here at home on october 30th. the broncos take on the chargers once again and they are probably wanting some revenge. let's update the forecast, ashton. as expected, we have rain on the western slope of
