“They won’t tell me who’s paying,” DiSalvo said Monday. “Itap not the person who hosted the party.”
DiSalvo initially estimated the overtime costs for the July 22 event at about $24,500, though chiefs of the Aspen Police Department and the Snowmass Village Police Department said they didn’t want to be reimbursed for their officers’ overtime, so those amounts were subtracted from the total reimbursement, DiSalvo said.
