meeting, date and time of meeting, and agenda contents.
Colorado Revised Statutes, § 24-6-402(2)(c) also provides that the local public body shall be
deemed to have given full and timely notice of a public meeting if the local public body posts the
notice, with specific agenda information if available, no less than twenty-four hours prior to the
holding of the meeting.
The Open Meetings Law, State Statute § 24-6-402(2)(c) requires that the public place or places
for posting legal notices shall be designated annually at the local public body’s first regular
meeting of each calendar year.
In addition to the City website, legal notices will be posted to the bulletin boards located at the

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Dan Poremba
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
DATE: January 6, 2020
SUBJECT:
Professional Services Agreement with Kaplan Kirsch Rockwell
LLP
DESCRIPTION:
Professional Services Agreement with Kaplan Kirsch Rockwell LLP
RECOMMENDATION:
In accordance with a recommendation from the Board of the Englewood Environmental
Foundation (EEF), approved by motion at the December 6, 2019 Board Meeting, Community
Development staff recommends that the City Council approve the one-year option to extend for
2020 the Professional Services Agreement with Kaplan Kirsch Rockwell LLP to serve as Special
Counsel in connection with various CityCenter redevelopment matters.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On February 19, 2019, City Council approved by motion the 2019 Professional Services
Agreement with Kaplan Kirsch Rockwell. The 2019 contract included a one-year renewal at the
discretion of the City Council, with advisement from the EEF Board.
SUMMARY:
In order to protect the City's and EEF’s various interests, Community Development and the City
Attorney recommended, during the January 7, 2019 Council Study Session that the City and
EEF retain Special Counsel. The selection of Kaplan Kirsch Rockwell followed a competitive
procurement process, including the issuance of a Legal Services RFQ dated January 10, 2019
(RFQ-19-003). The Kaplan Kirsch Rockwell response to the original RFQ is attached.
The Special Counsel’s role is to advise the City Council and to provide support to a project team
comprised of City staff members, EEF representatives, and outside consultants concerning the
critical legal decisions and tasks connected with the potential redevelopment of portions of
Englewood CityCenter. Special Counsel will continue to work directly with the project team
under the direction of the Chief Redevelopment Officer.
ANALYSIS:
In 2020, the services to be performed by Special Counsel include the following:
a. Advise and assist the City and EEF on ground lease matters, including
related communications and amendment negotiations with the original bondholder
group, now represented by LNR Partners (special servicer), and with prospective buyers of
the property previously developed and operated by Weingarten Realty,
Page 24 of 178
b. Evaluation of City Charter provisions pertaining to City and EEF real property
transactions, including a possible buyout of the subject ground lease,
c. In connection with the City’s anticipated selection of a master developer for the
redevelopment of the City and EEF owned and controlled property at City Center, assist
with the negotiation and drafting of three related agreements: (a) Exclusive
Negotiating Agreement, (b) Predevelopment Agreement, and (c) Development
Agreement, and other ancillary agreements as may be required,
d. Advise and assist the City and EEF on related matters involving possible special district
and public finance strategies,
e. Advise and assist the City and EEF on matters pertaining to evaluating the possible
unwinding of EEF, including a possible outline of an unwinding process and preparation of
the necessary documents.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
During the February 1, 2019 EEF Board meeting, the EEF Board approved the payment of 2019
Special Counsel legal fees from EEF’s Central Cash-Unrestricted Balance account. The
contract maximum for 2019 was $90,000, of which it is expected the total 2019 expenditure will
be approximately $80,000. Based on discussions with the Finance Department, it is
recommended that the 2020 Special Counsel legal fees again be funded from EEF’s Central
Cash-Unrestricted Balance account. It is also recommended that, as approved by EEF on
December 6, 2019 and based on the expanded scope of anticipated legal services, the 2020
contract maximum be increased to $150,000.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the recommendation of the EEF Board, Staff recommends that City Council approve
the Professional Services Agreement with Kaplan Kirsch Rockwell LLP through December 31,
2020.

Re: Response to Request for Qualifications 19-003 for Legal Services
Dear Office of Purchasing Division:
Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell LLP is pleased to submit this proposal in response to the City of
Englewood’s Request for Qualifications for Legal Services (RFQ-19-003) regarding the Englewood
CityCenter Redevelopment Project.
Our firm has established a reputation as one of the foremost strategic advisors on redevelopment,
infrastructure, and public-private projects in Colorado and elsewhere. We provide strategic advice
and counsel on all elements and for all phases of project development, real estate, governance,
planning, financing, and implementation. We assist clients from the earliest stage of project
conception through construction and operation, including the negotiation of complex governance
and development agreements, real estate and entitlement matters, infrastructure and project finance
agreements, and negotiation of all transaction documents.
The RFP seeks comprehensive legal services to advise the City Council and provide support to a
project team on the legal decisions and tasks connected with the anticipated redevelopment of
portions of the Englewood CityCenter transit-oriented development project. Our team has the
extensive experience needed to provide these legal services, including experience with ground
leasing and other real estate matters, negotiating and drafting master development agreements,
designing P3 transaction structures, developing project contracts and performance standards, and
implementing competitive procurements to deliver value for public sponsors of public-private
partnerships. Our team also brings the relevant real estate, land use, and other local expertise to
ensure the ultimate transaction structure and approach incorporates appropriate considerations to
reflect the nature of the Project and relevant City considerations.
We have organized our response to address the items listed in the qualifications statement on page
4 of the RFQ, as well as to provide the additional information referred to on page 6 of the RFQ. Of
course, if you require additional information about our firm or our experience, we are hap py to
provide that information.

be happy to further discuss how our real estate, project development, and infrastructure and
experience—as well as our “project first” approach to delivery and implementation—can position
this project for success.
Finally, pursuant to page 7, letter G of the RFQ, we confirm that the standard form of Professional
Services Agreement attached as Exhibit C to the RFQ is acceptable.
Thank you in advance for considering our response. We look forward to speaking with you soon.

Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell LLP
Response to Request for Qualifications 19-003 – Legal Services 1
GENERAL FIRM INFORMATION
Founded in 2003, Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell is a national law firm devoted to project
development. We solve problems that involve infrastructure, real estate, land use, construction,
environmental, and other related areas of law. The Firm represents local governments, individuals,
corporate clients, and organizations in complex projects, including unique public-private
partnerships. We have 30 attorneys in the Firm. The Firm’s offices in Denver, Boston, New York,
Washington, DC, enable us to represent clients on matters throughout the country, and the breadth
of the Firm’s practice typically includes active representations in more than half the states at any
one time.
We are a boutique firm focused exclusively on projects. The majority of our attorneys have public
sector experience and have chosen to work at our firm because they are passionate about the work
we do. Turnover at our firm is rare. The team you see in our proposal is the team you will get
because we only pursue the work that genuinely interests us and the projects that we want to be a
part of.
Our firm maintains one of the nation’s most active and dynamic infrastructure project practices.
We pride ourselves in developing and implementing unique public-private partnership structures
tailored to the needs of individual projects. We have the breadth and depth of experience to inform
our project approach and help the City meet its goals.
Of relevance to the City of Englewood, we have deep expertise in the following areas:
Real Estate, Land Use, and Zoning
Our attorneys have extensive experience with real estate development, land use entitlements, and
infrastructure projects, many of which involve the public sector and result in various forms of
public-private partnerships. We have extensive experience in drafting and negotiating the whole
host of agreements associated with real estate transactions, including ground lease agreements,
purchase and sale agreements, easements, leases and licenses, and other real estate documents.
We also have particular expertise in crafting and negotiating project agreements associated with
large master planned projects. Finally, we regularly counsel clients on all aspects of land use
entitlements.
P3 and Project Delivery
Complex infrastructure and development projects increasingly rely upon a mix of private funding
and public funds from federal, state, regional, and local resources. As governments at all levels
recognize the need to improve and repair all types of real property, transportation, and utility
infrastructure, as well as engage in major development projects, they also have come to require
expertise not only in the funding of such undertakings but also the process for getting the projects
completed. Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell has that expertise.
Page 65 of 178

Response to Request for Qualifications 19-003 – Legal Services 2
Government and Public Policy
Environmental, land use, urban redevelopment, infrastructure, and transportation projects often
involve multiple jurisdictions and different levels of government. Increasingly, these matters
incorporate public financing mechanisms that range from tax increment financing to federal loans.
Such projects, however, can also generate the greatest source of legal and public disputes among
governmental entities.
Our firm has developed a national practice in representing governmental entities in solving the
kinds of disputes that arise when governments are called upon to regulate, approve, and often
oppose substantial public projects, development endeavors, or transportation infrastructure. We
have considerable experience in negotiating intergovernmental agreements that resolve complex,
difficult issues among governments.
We also have extensive experience in addressing public sector issues such as governance structures
for project delivery, open records, contracting, and advocacy.
Environmental Law
Environmental and conservation law is the core of our practice at Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell. We
have a wide range of experience assisting clients with environmental cleanup, compliance,
permitting, enforcement, and defense under the “alphabet soup” of environmental statutes
addressing pollution and chemical exposure, including the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the Emergency Planning and Community
Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), and the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts.
A. OUR PRACTICE
Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell has extensive experience in each of the areas listed in A of the
Qualifications Statement. Our experience is described below for each of the relevant areas.
GROUND LEASES. Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell’s real estate practice includes the
preparation, negotiation, and review of ground leases on a regular basis. We have
prepared a variety of short and longer-term ground leases for private developers, airport
clients, local governments, and educational institutions. A few examples include:
a. University of Colorado. We are representing the University of Colorado on the
structuring, procurement, negotiation, and documentation for the development of a
hotel and conference center on the CU Boulder campus. As part of this
representation, we will be drafting and negotiating a 70-year ground lease with the
project developer, which calls for the developer to finance, design, construct, operate,
and maintain the hotel and conference center, subject to a negotiated revenue share
payable to the University. The ground lease will include a sublease back to the
University, structured as a capital lease and financed by the developer, for the
University’s use of separate structured parking within the project.

b. Englewood CityCenter. While at his prior law firm, Isaacson Rosenbaum, Bill
Silberstein represented Weingarten Miller Englewood Joint Venture—the developer
of the Englewood CityCenter retail shopping area—in negotiating the long-term
ground lease from Englewood Environmental Foundation, Inc., the leasing of the
retail space, obtaining both construction and permanent financing based on the
ground lease, and the creation of condominium retail space in the adjoining
apartment building.
c. Lowry Town Center. While at a previous law firm, Bill Silberstein represented the
developer of the Lowry Town Center, a retail shopping center at Lowry based on a
long-term ground lease from the Lowry Redevelopment Authority. This engagement
included obtaining financing for the ground lease and subleasing portions of the
shopping center to retail tenants on long term ground leases.
d. Fitzsimons. On behalf of Forest City Fitzsimons, we worked with the Fitzsimons
Redevelopment Authority to draft and negotiate a long-term ground lease for Forest
City for development at Fitzsimons.
MASTER DEVELOPER AGREEMENTS. Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell has drafted
and negotiated numerous master developer agreements, representing both private and
public sector entities. Key examples include:
a. Denver Union Station. Our firm represented the Union Station Neighborhood
Company (Continuum and East West Partners), the master developer of the Denver
Union Station site. As part of this work, we drafted and negotiated the primary
Master Developer agreement between Union Station Neighborhood Company and
the Denver Union Station Project Authority. Our work for Union Station
Neighborhood Company also included assisting with the structuring of the financing
of the transit station Denver Union Station site including structuring the overall
transaction with RTD and then on public financing (TIFIA and RRIF, Downtown
Development District), zoning, land use, and governance issues associated with this
project.
b. Stapleton Redevelopment. Our firm represented Forest City Stapleton in drafting
and negotiating the Master Redevelopment Agreement between Forest City and the
Stapleton Development Corporation. We have represented Forest City at Stapleton
since Forest City was selected as the master developer and over the years, have
drafted and negotiated numerous other project related agreements.

Response to Request for Qualifications 19-003 – Legal Services 4
c. 61st and Peña Station. We represented the City and County of Denver on a public-
private partnership for the development of the on-airport Peña Boulevard rail station
as a transit-oriented development project that also includes development of private
off-airport land. Our involvement included issues related to real estate, public and
private finance, land use, federal airport regulation, and other regulatory issues. As
part of this work, we prepared the master agreement between the City and County of
Denver – Department of Aviation and Rail Stop LLC (the owner of the private
property surrounding the 61st and Peña station site), related to development and
infrastructure funding for this approximately 60 acres of property surrounding the
transit station.
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS FOR VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT. Almost
every master developer agreement that we have prepared involves some sort of
partnership between the public and private sectors to promote vertical development. In
addition to the master developer agreements described above, a few additional examples
of our work in this area include:
a. National Western Center Redevelopment. Our firm represents the City and
County of Denver on all aspects of the structuring and procurement of the expansion
and redevelopment of the National Western Stock Show into a new, 270-acre, state-
of-the art multipurpose campus. The project is being procured through the City’s
new Performance Based Infrastructure (PBI/P3) Office and will utilize a design-
build-finance-operate-maintain (DBFOM) model for the redevelopment of the 60+
acre “Triangle” parcel, which will include a new 10,000 seat arena, exposition hall,
renovation of the 1909 historic stadium arena into a public market space, and
structured parking assets. Value capture from the remainder of the site, consisting
of approximately 20 acres of private real estate development, will generate revenue
to offset the cost of the public assets.
b. Alameda Station. We represented D4 Urban in drafting and negotiating its
agreements with the Regional Transportation District (RTD) related to the purchase
by D4 of the Alameda Station site and D4’s construction of the transit station and
related multifamily development projects. As part of this representation, we also
negotiated urban renewal agreements; prepared and negotiated construction
contracts, including the owner’s representative, architect, and construction manager
(CM) at-risk agreements; and assisted in equity and lender due diligence issues.
c. Broadway Station – City of Denver. Our firm represents the owners of the former
Gates Rubber Company site at I-25 and Broadway in Denver, which is being
transformed into a new mixed-use community. We have advised the client on
comprehensive planning, zoning and entitlements, environmental issues, and real
estate issues. We also have negotiated the agreements with the Denver Urban
Renewal Authority and the City and County of Denver to facilitate tax increment
financing for the project.

PUBLIC FINANCE. The projects that Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell has worked on often
involve a public finance component. Working with separate bond counsel, we have
represented numerous public and private sector clients on the structuring and coordinating
of the public finance elements of their projects. Our attorneys are fluent in a variety of
financing tools, including TIF, metropolitan districts, PIF, GID and private activity
bonds, and opportunity zones. Examples include:
a. Stapleton. Our long-term representation of Forest City Stapleton has included
serving as developer counsel in negotiating the various agreements with the City of
Denver, the metro districts, and the Denver Urban Renewal Authority associated
with Stapleton’s extensive infrastructure projects, including agreements associated
with the issuance of bonds by the metro districts and DURA.
b. Broadway Station – City of Denver. As mentioned above, we represented the
owners of the former Gates Rubber company site on drafting and negotiating the
primary agreements with the Denver Urban Renewal Authority, the City and County
of Denver, and the Broadway Station metropolitan district related to tax increment
financing for the project.
c. Denver Union Station. As part of our representation of the Union Station
Neighborhood Company, firm attorneys assisted in structuring the overall transaction
and the public financing related to the redevelopment of the Station. This project
included approximately $500 million of public infrastructure to establish Denver
Union Station as the multi-modal transit hub for the greater Denver region and
involved more than $500 million of private development. The public infrastructure
included TIFIA and RRIF loans, as well as a significant tax increment component to
repay the federal loans.
INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT. Large master planned projects always
require an understanding of how project infrastructure will be financed, constructed,
operated, and maintained. Each of the projects listed above involved an infrastructure
component. Examples of our work in this area include:
a. Broadway Station – City of Denver. As part of this representation, summarized
above, we worked with our client, client consultants, metro district counsel, and the
City of Denver to prepare an infrastructure master plan for the project. That plan
informed the public finance components of the tax increment finance package, as the
public finance will be used to fund infrastructure construction.

b. Central 70 Reconstruction Project. While not a real estate development project,
our firm recently represented CDOT in the DBFOM P3 delivery of the technically
complex, $2.3 billion reconstruction of the 11-mile segment of Interstate 70 through
central Denver, which involves lowering a section of the highway below grade and
constructing a 4-acre park over a portion of that lowered section. We assisted CDOT
in developing a modified procurement process that encouraged bidder feedback—
including a customized process for site condition due diligence requests—that has
since been adopted by other projects and emphasized maximum competitive tension
to drive overall value to the project. As the largest single transportation project ever
undertaken by CDOT, Central 70 also required consideration of numerous other legal
issues, including complex issues related to project finance under TABOR, risk
allocation between the public and private sectors, development of performance
specifications, and project handback.
c. Stapleton Redevelopment. The Stapleton project has included construction of
approximately $650 million worth of trunk and intract infrastructure funded through
a combination of tax increment financing and metro district mill levies. We worked
with Forest City on the infrastructure master plan for 3,000 acres of development
over a 25-year period. The infrastructure finance package included funding for four
new Denver Public Schools, regional open space, neighborhood open space, and
roads and utilities. We represented Forest City in negotiating the various agreements
with the City of Denver, the metro district, and the Denver Urban Renewal Authority
associated with these infrastructure projects, including agreements associated with
the issuance of bonds by the metro districts and DURA.
B. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE RELATING TO PUBLIC-PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIPS, DEVELOPMENT, OR SIMILAR
AGREEMENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF LARGE-SCALE
TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell has had the privilege of working on five of the metro area’s largest
transit-oriented development projects, on behalf of both private and public sector entities. These
include the following:
DENVER UNION STATION. As mentioned above, we represented the master
developer selected to redevelop the Denver Union Station site. This project included
approximately $500 million of public infrastructure to establish Denver Union Station as
the multi-modal transit hub for the greater Denver region and involved more than $500
million of private development. We have advised the master developer on land use and
zoning, governance, development agreements, and public financing issues associated
with this project.
Page 70 of 178
Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell LLP
Response to Request for Qualifications 19-003 – Legal Services 7
ALAMEDA STATION. As described above, we represented D4 Urban on the Alameda
Station Project. As part of this representation, our attorneys advised the client and
negotiated the land transaction with RTD; negotiated agreements with the City of Denver
and the Denver Urban Renewal Authority; advised the client on land use and entitlement
issues; prepared and negotiated construction contracts; prepared numerous easements,
licenses, and other land related agreements; and assisted in equity and lender due
diligence issues.
FEDERAL CENTER STATION. We represented the City of Lakewood in negotiations
with the federal government regarding acquisition of the Federal Center Station. This
work includes negotiating appropriate agreements for site acquisition, addressing
environmental issues, advising on land development, and other matters. For various
reasons, the City decided not to acquire the site.
CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER/61ST AVENUE STATION. We represented the
City and County of Denver – Department of Aviation on a public-private partnership for
the development of the Peña Station rail station as a transit-oriented development. Our
involvement included issues related to real estate, public and private finance, land use,
federal airport regulation, and other regulatory issues. The Denver City Council approved
the key agreements associated with the $50 million infrastructure financing package in
May 2015. The financing closed and construction commenced in June 2015.
OLDE TOWN ARVADA STATION. We represented the master developer of the Olde
Town Arvada Station area on drafting and negotiating the Disposition and Development
Agreement between the master developer and the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority, as
well as ancillary agreements.
An example of our experience with transit-oriented development projects outside of Denver
includes the following:
ATLANTA BELTLINE, INC. We represent the Atlanta Beltine, Inc., the entity
responsible for executing a comprehensive economic revitalization plan in central
Atlanta. The Atlanta BeltLine is a 22-mile circumference loop of transit, recreational
trail, and park development that includes multi-modal transportation links to and among
the neighborhoods lining the corridor. The project incorporates coordinated zoning
incentives, a tax increment finance district, brownfields remediation, a city-sponsored
residential mortgage program to encourage the purchase of homes near the Atlanta
BeltLine, and more than 5,000 units of affordable housing being financed through an
affordable housing trust fund.
C. PROPOSED TEAM
While all of the Firm’s attorneys would be available on an as-needed basis to assist the City, we
anticipate a core team of four partners and two associates to address the scope of services listed in
A through E of page 4 of the RFQ. Sarah Rockwell would serve as the principal contact; she
would oversee all substantive work and would be responsible for ensuring cost-effective and
timely counsel.
Page 71 of 178
Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell LLP
Response to Request for Qualifications 19-003 – Legal Services 8
In this section, we provide brief descriptions of the relevant experience of the team members
identified below. Full biographies of each team member are appended to this proposal. Each of
these attorneys has experience in municipal law and federal, State of Colorado, and City laws and
regulations as each may relate to the Project.
Sarah M. Rockwell. Sarah would serve as coordinating partner and principal contact to the City.
She would advise on all of the services listed in A through E on page 4 of the RFQ. She has
extensive experience in project development, real estate, land use, and public-private partnership
negotiations and has direct experience representing clients on a variety of issues related to land
use, real property transactions, intergovernmental agreements, and transactions involving private
sector entities. Sarah advised on the redevelopments of Denver Union Station, Broadway Station,
Alameda Station, and the DIA/61st Avenue Station project. Of note, Sarah served on the ULI
technical advisory panel (TAP) for the Englewood CityCenter project in October 2016 and is very
familiar with the Englewood CityCenter area and its issues.
Stephen H. Kaplan. Steve would provide strategic advice on all of the services listed in A through
E on page 4 of the RFQ. As the former Denver City Attorney, Steve has extensive experience
representing local governments and understands the sensitivities of carrying out projects that
involve a public sector component. Steve also has extensive experience in projects involving
public finance. He was a key player in the structuring of the public finance package and
governance arrangement for the Union Station project, is working the City of Denver on the
National Western Stock Show governance and P3 procurement, and has advised the Denver
Convention Center Hotel Authority since it was created.
Bill Silberstein. Bill’s practice focuses on all aspects of real estate transactions. Most recently,
Bill has been serving as Forest City’s primary real estate counsel on the residential and commercial
transactions at Stapleton. While at his previous firm, Bill represented Miller Weingarten on
drafting and negotiating the long-term ground lease from Englewood Environmental Foundation,
Inc., the leasing of the retail space, obtaining both construction and permanent financing based on
the ground lease, and the creation of condominium retail space in the adjoining apartment building.
Bill would take the lead role in advising and assisting the City on ground lease matters including
related communications and amendment negotiations with C-III and its prospective buyers.
Brent E. Butzin. Brent’s practice focuses on the structuring, financing, and delivery of complex
projects involving multiple parties through public-private partnerships. Brent would take the
primary role in drafting the anticipated Unsolicited Response Policy and Ordinance pertaining to
the City Property and would assist in review of the anticipated Developer Request for
Qualifications/Responses package and solicitation process. Brent’s previous work has involved
vertical/social infrastructure, transportation, and value capture projects. Brent formerly served as
General Counsel to the High Performance Transportation Enterprise, the arm of the Colorado
Department of Transportation formed to pursue innovative public-private partnerships, including
the recent Central 70 project. Brent is also a licensed Professional Engineer. He is currently
advising the City of Denver on its vertical infrastructure public-private partnership for the National
Western Center, as well as the University of Colorado on its hotel and conference center public-
private partnership.

Response to Request for Qualifications 19-003 – Legal Services 9
Hanna R. Gustafsson. Hanna’s practice focuses on land use and real estate development. Hanna
would assist on all aspects of the tasks listed in A through E on page 4, as appropriate.
Heather J. Haney. Heather’s practice focuses on real estate development and project agreements.
Heather would assist in ground lease matters and other real estate components of the project.
D. AVAILABILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS
Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell is comprised primarily of partners, who have decades of experience in
projects on fast schedules with changing requirements. We understand the need for responsiveness
and quick turnaround to meet our clients’ needs. We also are available to attend meetings on short
notice, as needed. It also is helpful that Sarah Rockwell, Brent Butzin, and Hanna Gustafsson live
within a 10-minute drive from the City of Englewood.
One recent example illustrates how we successfully respond to and address client needs. The City
of Philadelphia sought our counsel regarding a new issue that the Mayor had requested for a
briefing the following day. Beginning on a Sunday evening, firm attorneys researched the key
issues, provided informal counsel via telephone and, by mid-day Monday, supplied talking points
for the briefing. We precisely produced the work product needed and tailored to the circumstances
within 18 hours. That experience is typical of our legal services and our work ethic.
Ultimately, our indicator of success—for both individual tasks and for our representation more
generally—is that our clients receive competent, sophisticated, thorough, and thoughtful legal
advice in a timely and cost-effective manner.
E. FEES
Because most of the Firm’s clients are public entities, we are acutely sensitive to ensuring that our
rates are competitive and can withstand intense public scrutiny. The Firm generally charges clients
for our services on an hourly basis, based upon the seniority of the attorney. Our 2019 hourly rates
range from $350 to $795, but we generally offer a reduction from those rates for our public sector
clients. The Firm is prepared to offer the City a substantial discount on hourly rates, as reflected
in the following table:
Attorney Published
2019 Hourly Rates
Discounted
City Rate for 2019
Sarah M. Rockwell 690 465
Stephen H. Kaplan 690 465
Bill Silberstein 590 465
Brent E. Butzin 620 465
Hanna R. Gustafsson 380 350
Heather J. Haney 435 395

We understand that no increase in the fees or costs shall be allowed during the engagement. We
are willing to hold our fees to the schedule above until the end of 2020 and ask for a consideration
of a modest rate increase thereafter.
Page 6 of the RFQ, letter E requests that we estimate the fees and expenses for the services broken
down by the tasks listed on Page 4. At this stage, given the limited information provided about
the services listed in A, C, D, and E or the required or the tasks underlying those services, it would
be difficult to provide meaningful estimates for those services listed in of the fees and expenses
for the services. However, we are very familiar with the need for public entities to have meaningful
estimates for the costs of outside legal services and are happy to provide more detailed estimates
once we have a more detailed understanding of the services that will be required.
With regard to B, evaluation of City Charter limitations pertaining to City and EEF real property
transactions, we estimate that that evaluation, including review of the City Charter, discussions
with City staff, and a written memorandum would cost between $3,000 and $6,000.
The RFQ asks how documents will be scanned and reviewed. Since majority of the Firm’s clients
are public entities, we are thoughtful in ensuring that our work is efficient and cost-effective. The
Firm closely monitors and limits direct expenses. We do not charge for normal in -office printing
or scanning of routine documents. We also do not charge for normal in-office long distance
telephone charges (except conference calls, which are charged at actual cost). Out-of-pocket costs
such as travel, outside copying, and printing services are charged at our actual cost without mark-
up or administrative charges. We do not charge for administrative or secretarial work, word
processing, time accounting, or office supplies. We are familiar with and will comply with local
requirements on reimbursable expenses and understand the need to ensure that expenses be
appropriate to the representation of a public entity.

Stephen H. Kaplan
Throughout his professional career, Steve Kaplan has participated
in the negotiation of complicated public-private partnerships from
several different perspectives: as a client, as counsel to a
municipality, and as a representative of the United States
government. Steve specifically focuses on public-private
partnerships in the redevelopment of publicly owned property and
the structuring of such redevelopment projects involving public
financing for infrastructure. He also is actively working on major
transit-oriented development projects and with airports interested
in airport-related commercial development, both on- and off-
airport.
Steve was the General Counsel of the United States Department
of Transportation from 1993 through 1995, with responsibility for
advising and representing the Department and its various
agencies, including—among others—the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, and the
Federal Highway Administration.
Steve also served for seven years as the City Attorney of Denver,
Colorado. He was actively involved in negotiations which led to

Bill Silberstein
Bill Silberstein represents clients in a wide variety of real estate
developments, purchases, sales, leasing, and financing
transactions for ski resorts, office buildings, hotel properties, retail
shopping centers, ranches, and rural recreational properties

practice that has a national reputation for excellence. He has

cost of $257,116.00.
SUMMARY:
Staff is proposing to utilize the Sourcewell contract #012418-ALT with Altec Industries, Inc. to
purchase two (2) Dodge articulating bucket trucks to replace two (2) existing bucket trucks used
by the Public Works Department Traffic Division. The Sourcewell contract went into effect on
March 14, 2018 and is valid until March 14, 2022. The contract allows for the purchase of

Equipment Replacement Fund (CERF). Equipment replacement is based on its average useful
life. The 2019 & 2020 budgets include funding for the planned replacement of various vehicles
including these two in the Public Works Department.
The Sourcewell contract went into effect on March 14, 2018 and is valid until March 14, 2022.
The contract allows for the purchase of vehicles by member government agencies. The city's
Procurement Policy allows for the use of collaborative purchasing agreements.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The table below shows the budgeted costs, by vehicle, along with the respective actual cost.
CERF budgeted costs are estimated so there is typically some overages as well as some
savings for individual vehicles. Also, interest accrues and is available for variations between
budgeted and actual costs. The current CERF fund balance is $3,269,487.

Total $257,116.00 $222,736.92 ($34,379.08)
$7,100.00 of the additional cost is associated with an upgrade to a 4 x 4 chassis in each vehicle
($3,550 apiece). This cost since it is an upgrade and not accounted for in the CERF accrual, will
be paid for by the Traffic Division. The remainder ($34,379.08 less $7,100.00) of $27,279.08 will
be paid for by excess funds in the CERF account.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternative is to solicit bids from vendors for the purchase of these vehicles.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends purchasing two Dodge articulating bucket trucks utilizing the Sourcewell
contract with Altec Industries, Inc. at a total cost of $257,116.00.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Erik Sampson, Wade Burkholder
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
DATE: January 6, 2020
SUBJECT: CB 47 - Short Term Rental Ordinance
DESCRIPTION:
CB 47 - Short Term Rental Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that pertaining to 16-2-6 Amendments to the Text of Title 16 (UDC, Unified
Development Code), City Council review the recommendations of City Staff, the Planning and
Zoning Commission, and hear testimony from the public on the proposed amendments to the
Unified Development Code, Title 16, relating to Short Term Rentals (STR's) as follows:
• Chapter 5, Section 1 (C) Use Regulations/Table of Allowed Uses in relation to Short
Term Rentals
o Add STR's as a visitor accommodation in residential and mixed-use zone
districts;
• Chapter 5, Section 6: Add STR regulations including Purpose, Eligibility, Application
Procedures and Permitting Requirements, Operating Standards, Revocation of STR
Permits, Enforcement, and Definitions.
Immediately following the public hearing, City Council should begin discussion to approve, deny,
or modify the proposed amendments and direct staff to bring forth an ordinance for First
Reading on January 21st, 2020.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council held two Study Sessions to discuss Short Term Rentals (STR). The first was held
July 15, 2019 when staff presented the draft regulations and provided information on the
Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing.
w2019 second August held was The 26, regarding the information staff presented hen
enforcement of STRs and discussed the potential of hiring a third-party monitoring and
compliance company.
City Council held a public hearing on Short Term Rentals on October 7, 2019 to receive public
testimony. Subsequently, City Council held a first reading on October 21, 2019. At that
meeting, City Council tabled the matter until such time as the Planning and Zoning Commission
could review enforcement provisions, consider removal of the provision permitting short term
Page 119 of 178
rentals in accessory dwelling units and to remove possible conflicts with other provisions of Title
16.
SUMMARY:
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Short Term Rentals (STRs) are dwelling units, or a portion thereof, which are rented to guests
nightly, weekly, or for a duration of less than 30 consecutive days. Over the past few years, it
has become a popular practice nationwide for individuals to rent out rooms, condos, or entire
houses for short durations to visitors and vacationers. STRs are common in areas where hotels
are expensive or other quality lodging options do not exist. In response to this increasing
popularity homeof -STR created have Front Range cities throughout many sharing, the
ordinances as a way to better regulate the time, place, and manner of such uses and to provide
a potential city to impacts adverse and means address effectively more to nuisances
neighborhoods.
The availability and popularity of STRs in Englewood have been on the rise in recent years,
especially with the advent of home-sharing websites such as AirBnB, Turnkey, HomeAway, and
several others. Due to the increasing popularity of STRs, the use and operation of residential
dwelling units as lodging for temporary stays (especially within neighborhoods zoned for low-
intensity residential uses) can potentially create impacts not anticipated by the City’s current
zoning regulations. While the current Unified Development Code (UDC) regulates visitor
accommodation uses such as bed and breakfast establishments, hotels, and extended stay
hotels, there are no regulations which apply to STRs in residentially zoned districts.
The recommended regulations to permit STRs to operate within the City, while establishing
health and safety regulations aimed at limiting potential neighborhood impacts, are attached in
Council Bill #47. It should be noted that under the current Englewood Municipal Code, STRs are
defined as visitor accommodations and are not permitted in the following zone districts: R-1-A,
R-1-B, R-1-C, R-2-A, R-2-B, MU-R-3-A, MU-R-3-B, MU-R-3-C, MU-B-1, MU-B-2. The proposed
regulations would allow for STRs in all of those districts. Please note that currently, various
visitor accommodation uses are permitted within the M-1, M-2, M-O-2, MU-B-2, and I-1 zone
districts. Visitor accommodation uses are uses which permit stays of less than 30 days in
duration.
Finally, it should be noted that a Short Term Rental Ordinance would provide the City with the
means to monitor and collect lodging taxes on lawfully established STR's.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
On June 4, 2019, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended, by a vote of 7-1, to
forward the proposed language amendments to City Council with a favorable recommendation
and the following Findings of Fact:
• That Case No. 2017-03 was brought before the Planning & Zoning Commission at a
Public Hearing by the City of Englewood Community Development Department on June
4, 2019; and
Page 120 of 178
• At the June 4, 2019 Public Hearing, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted 7–1 to
forward a favorable recommendation for adoption of the draft STR regulations to City
Council; and
• That notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Englewood Herald on May 22,
2019 and was posted on the City’s website May 22, 2019 through June 4, 2019; and
• That the participants in the September 20, 2018 STR Open House and the April 2, 2019
STR Forum were notified of the Public Hearing directly by email; and
• That the Planning and Zoning Commission held 14 study sessions on STR regulations
since May of 2017, and an STR Open House was held on September 20, 2018, from
which 21 surveys were collected and analyzed; and
• That the proposed STR regulatory text amendments establish permitting and operating
requirements for Short Term Rentals and identify the R-1-A, R-1-B, R-1-C, R-2-A, R-2-B,
MU-R-3-A, MU-R-3-B, MU-R-3-C, M-1, M-2, MU-B-1, MU-B-2 zone districts as suitable
for the operation of Short Term Rentals; and
• That the proposed STR regulatory text amendments conform to the vision, goals, and
objectives outlined in Englewood Forward: The 2016 Englewood Comprehensive Plan.
On December 3, 2019 the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing to discuss
Short Term Rentals; more specifically the items City Council asked to have reviewed. By a vote
of 7-0 the Commission voted to recommend the following language amendments to Council Bill
47:
A. That the previously identified and practicing short term rentals be grandfathered, as has
been the long term practice of the City.
B. That Staff's recommendations be adopted, to include that a bed and breakfast use be
synonymous with a short term rental.
C. That Accessory Dwelling Units be permitted to be used as short term rentals.
D. That the revised short term rental text amendments include the enforcement section
agreed to by Community Development and the City Attorney's office and reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
E. That City Council instruct Staff to send a letter of apology to everyone who received a
cease and desist Notice of Violation (NOV) letter.
The Findings of Fact from this Planning and Zoning Commission meeting are attached.
A summary of the information found in Council Bill 47 is as follows:

• All STR's will be required to comply with all life safety, noise, and property maintenance
requirements set forth in the approved Ordinance; and
• STR’s would be required to provide one parking space per bedroom. STRs lacking a
paved parking space in a driveway, garage, or carport would be limited to two on -street

Page 123 of 178
The proposed Ordinance will also grant the City the ability to revoke STR permits for properties
found to be non-compliant with the STR Ordinance or in violation of other EMC regulations.
STR permits may be revoked after three sustained violations of the following:
• Violation of any term or condition of the operating permit, or for any violation of any
provision set forth in this Chapter;
• Violation of any provision of the Englewood Municipal Code, City Ordinance, or state law
relating to the maintenance of the permitted property operating as an STR, or a failure to
remain in compliance with all city or state sales tax regulations;
• The existence of any condition, or performance of any act, which the City determines
constitutes a nuisance or causes a condition endangering the health, safety and welfare
of any individual(s), or damage to the STR dwelling unit identified by the operating
permit, including damage caused by fire, flood, wind, or other natural disaster.
STR Permits will also be terminated upon the sale of the property or if the property is transferred
to another owner (STR permits are non-transferrable). STR permits will expire if the operator
fails to obtain a renewal of the operating permit before its annual renewal date. If a permit has
been revoked, there is a mandatory 18-month waiting period before a new STR Permit
application may be submitted to the Community Development Department.
Enforcement
The City has entered into a contract with LodgingRevs to monitor and provide staff assistance
with enforcement of Short Term Rentals and is actively sending notices of violation informing
residents of the violation. Additionally, the City Attorney's Office and Community Development
staff have developed specific enforcement language and procedures related specifically to short
term rentals. The Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed and recommends adoption of
the language as presented below. The language is as follows and will be reflected within
Council Bill 47 at First Reading should City Council direct its inclusion:
F. Enforcement

Development, or his/her designee, shall be subject to the process outlined in Title 1, Chapter 10
of the Englewood Municipal Code.
Bed and Breakfast Uses - In order to address potential conflict between bed and breakfast
uses and short term rentals, the Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended that the
two uses be synonymous with one another. The two uses are nearly identical in terms of land
use and it is recommended the same licensing provisions apply to both uses. Therefore,
Council Bill 47 at First Reading would include changes to the definition of a Bed and Breakfast
as well as a change to Section 16-5-1 Table of Allowed Uses changing the zone district
permissions of Bed and Breakfast to match that of Short Term Rentals should City Council
direct those changes be made.
The current definition of Bed and Breakfast states; "A specific type of visitor accommodation
use. A commercial establishment operated in an owner-occupied, one-unit dwelling unit, or
portion thereof (including an accessory building), that provides short-term visitor lodging
(generally stays of thirty (30) days or less), with or without the service of a morning meal only,
and where the operator lives on the premises. No more than six (6) guests may be
accommodated at any one time. See definition of "Visitor Accommodation". "
The recommended definition of Bed and Breakfast states; "A Short Term Rental and specific
type of visitor accommodation use. The nightly or weekly rental of a residential dwelling unit, or
portion thereof (including an accessory building), ancillary to a primary living use, with or without
the service of a morning meal and where the operator lives on premises, excluding hotels and
Page 127 of 178
motels for less than thirty (30) days, including but not limited to, a single family dwelling, duplex,
townhome, condominium, or similar dwelling. No more than eight (8) guests may be
accommodated at any one time. Bed and Breakfast uses must comply with the regulations
stated by EMC 16-5-6."
Furthermore, note that the current definition of Bed and Breakfast and the recommend definition
would permit said uses in an accessory building to include accessory dwelling units (ADU's).
Currently there are no business licenses for a bed and breakfast use within Englewood.
Conformance with Englewood Forward Goals and Objectives
The STR code amendment is in conformance with the goals and objectives found in Englewood
Forward: The 2016 Englewood Comprehensive Plan: Some of the specific objectives in the
Comprehensive Plan include:
Goal Live-1: Promote a balanced mix of housing opportunities serving the needs of
current and future Englewood citizens.
Objective Live-1.1: Allow for housing that meets the needs of all income groups, including
appropriate type and location of housing.
Objective Live-1.2: Allow for housing investments that improve the housing mix and serve
different life cycle stages and groups with special needs in appropriate locations, including both
smaller and larger unit sizes and a wider range of housing types, including single-family, duplex,
townhome, condominium, multi-family, and accessory dwelling units.
Goal Work-2: Build, attract, and retain a quality workforce.
Objective Work-2.2: Create and maintain workforce housing meeting the needs of both
employers and employees.
ANALYSIS:
The City's Unified Development Code (UDC) was adopted prior to the advent of short term
rentals. While those provisions of the code detailing visitor accommodation can be understood
to prohibit the existence of STRs within some zoning districts within the City, there are no
regulations detailing health, safety and welfare standards for those STRs which may be
operating lawfully.
Amendments to the text of Title 16 are appropriate when "events, trends, or facts evident after
adoption of the text of this Title have changed the character or condition of the community so as
to make the proposed amendment inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and the
amendment is necessary to promote the public health, safety, or welfare of the community."
EMC 16-2-6(F)(2).
Additionally, EMC 16-2-6 provides that "whenever the public necessity, convenience, health,
safety, general welfare, or appropriate zoning practice justifies an amendment to any section of
this Title, and after the amendment has been submitted at a public hearing for consideration and
Page 128 of 178
recommendation by the Commission, the Council may, after a public hearing on the proposed
text amendment, change the text of this Title."
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
If approved, the Short Term Rental process would establish a permitting/registration system
which city staff recommends being set at $150 per registration annually. Additionally, the
operation of a short term rental would require the owner to obtain a State Sales Tax License, an
Englewood Sales and Use Tax License, and Englewood Lodging License and would also
require the collection and remittance of sales, use and lodging tax to the City. At this price
point, the permit/registration fee would cover the City's financial cost of the third-party
enforcement agency assisting with monitoring and enforcement activities.
Additionally, each registered STR will collect both the sales and lodging tax rates on each rental
sale transaction in the amount of 5.5% (lodging tax at 2% and sales tax at 3.5%). The
registered STR is responsible for remitting use tax in the amount of 3.5% on purchases for the
STR where the local sales tax paid is less than 3.5%.

Ordinance and Amendments to Title 16, Unified Development Code
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Englewood Herald and on the City’s website

BACKGROUND
On June 4, 2019, the Englewood Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing
regarding a proposed draft of Short-Term Rental regulations. The Commission forwarded a
favorable recommendation of the Ordinance to City Council for adoption. City Council held a
public hearing on October 7, 2019, followed by a First Reading of the Ordinance on October 21,

Page 156 of 178
Page 2 of 2
Planning & Zoning Commission to remove the language allowing STR’s in Accessory Dwelling
Units (ADUs) and to amend and clarify the language regarding the Enforcement of STRs.
CHANGES TO THE ORDINANCE
The revised STR ordinance includes additional language regarding the enforcement of STRs
and removed the language which allowed STR’s in ADU’s. The new enforcement language
establishes procedures for notices of violation, compliance inspections, and appeals (see
Section F in the attached draft). All other language regarding Application Procedures,
Submittal Requirements, Operating Standards, and Revocation of Permits from the initial draft
remain unchanged.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: John Voboril
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
DATE: January 6, 2020
SUBJECT:
CB 01 - Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Arapahoe
County and the City of Englewood, Colorado for Sharing the Cost
of a Census Coordinator Position in Arapahoe County
DESCRIPTION:
CB 01 - Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Arapahoe County and the City of
Englewood, Colorado for Sharing the Cost of a Census Coordinator Position in Arapahoe
County
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of an Ordinance on first reading entering the City of Englewood into
an IGA with Arapahoe County for cost sharing regarding the salary of a temporary Arapahoe
County Census Coordinator position.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council approved a motion to create the Census 2020: Englewood Complete Count
Committee for the purpose of the coordination of broad community outreach activities designed
to deliver a complete count of all persons residing within the City of Englewood as of April 1,
2020.
SUMMARY:
Arapahoe County staff reached out to Arapahoe County municipalities with a proposal to jointly
fund a temporary Census Coordinator position to assist both the County and each municipality
with Census 2020 outreach efforts to achieve a complete count of all persons residing within
both the County and each municipality as of April 1, 2020. Each municipality was asked to
contribute between $500 and $15,000, depending on the size of the municipality. A $5,000
request has been made of the City of Englewood, the same amount asked of Englewood
neighboring cities (Littleton, Sheridan, and Cherry Hills Village).
ANALYSIS:
The Arapahoe County Census Coordinator position major duties will include the following:
• Develop a plan for a coordinated county approach to Census 2020;
• Coordinate with Arapahoe County’s census team (internal staff), organize a Complete
Count Committee (stakeholders), and support the work of its subcommittees;
Page 164 of 178
• Coordinate timelines, agendas, and complete meeting minutes for internal or public
meetings and events;
• Coordinate efforts with the U.S. Census Bureau and assist the Bureau with identification
of hard-to-count neighborhoods/populations that will require special efforts to achieve a
complete count;
• Coordinate with regional, state and federal agencies, community-based organizations,
city agencies, and volunteers performing census outreach efforts;
• Create and deliver presentations to Board of County Commissioners, elected officials,
staff, stakeholder groups, and partner agencies;
• Assist communications staff with developing marketing and outreach plans, hosting
meetings and events, and drafting content for use in traditional and online
communication venues; and
• Draft and submit grant applications as appropriate to secure funding for outreach and
coordination activities.
In addition to serving as the County staff liaison and organizer for the Census 2020: Arapahoe
Complete Count Committee, the Census Coordinator position will also be available to potentially
assist municipalities in ways that include, but are not limited to, the following services:
• Identifying and targeting hard to county communities;
• Working closely with the U.S. Census Bureau to utilize tools and resources;
• Attend already-established community events throughout the County hosted by
municipalities, nonprofit organizations, faith-based groups, and business partners, by
staffing information booths and presenting information;
• Work with trusted nonprofit organizational partners with hard to count populations;
• Sponsor and attend public forums and events to provide information and direct outreach;
• Partner and provide more intensive outreach to households with limited English,
homeless populations, institutions, and individuals with limited/inability to access
internet/computers;
• Use GIS/mapping team to assist with canvassing efforts and other partner needs; and
• Secure grants for countywide outreach efforts.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Ordinance approving the IGA with Arapahoe County authorizes the City to contribute
$5,000 toward the shared salary cost of $80,000 for a temporary Arapahoe County Census
Coordinator position. The City will pay its portion of the shared salary cost out of a recently
secured grant from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) issued to support local
municipalities with their Census-related activities.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
CENSUS COORDINATOR POSITION
The Arapahoe County Board of County Commissioners agreed to hire a census liaison, which is
an 18-month project designated position to obtain the most accurate and complete population
count. This individual will serve as the primary contact and coordinator for Arapahoe County’s
efforts related to the 2020 Census. This position will manage the day-to-day planning, coordination
and execution of census activities, including engagement and outreach. In addition to leading
Arapahoe County’s Complete Count Committee, the census liaison will work with municipal and
organizational partners to:
Develop a plan for a coordinated county approach to Census 2020;
Coordinates with Arapahoe County’s census team (internal staff), organizes a Complete
Count Committee (stakeholders), and supports the work of its subcommittees;
Coordinate timelines, agendas, and complete meeting minutes for internal or public
meetings and events;
Coordinates efforts with the U.S. Census Bureau and assists the Bureau with identification
of hard-to-count neighborhoods/populations that will require special efforts to achieve a
complete count;
Coordinates with regional, state and federal agencies, community-based organizations, city
agencies, and volunteers performing census outreach efforts;
Creates and delivers presentations to Board of County Commissioners, elected officials,

Assists communications staff with developing marketing and outreach plans, hosting
meetings and events, and drafting content for use in traditional and online communication
venues; and
Draft and submit grant applications as appropriate to secure funding for outreach and
coordination activities.
Based on several staff conversations, municipal partners understand the value of the census, but
resources are limited. To maximize our collective resources while obtaining the most accurate and
complete population count, Arapahoe County is seeking some financial support from its municipal
partners for this position.
Opportunities in which the census Coordinator Position and County could support municipalities
include, but not limited to the following services:
Identifying and targeting hard to county communities;
Working closely with the U.S. Census Bureau to utilize tools and resources;
Attend already-established community events throughout the County hosted by
municipalities, nonprofit organizations, faith-based groups, and business partners, by
staffing information booths and presenting information;
Work with trusted nonprofit organizational partners with hard to count populations;
Sponsor and attend public forums and events to provide information and direct outreach;
Page 174 of 178
Page 7 of 7
Partner and provide more intensive outreach to households with limited English, homeless
populations, institutions, and individuals with limited/inability to access
internet/computers;
Use GIS/mapping team to assist with canvassing efforts and other partner needs; and
Secure grants for countywide outreach efforts.
The support Arapahoe County would like to receive from our municipal partners includes, but is
not limited to:
Involvement/engagement with the Complete County Committee or subcommittee as
appropriate;
Providing/confirming information on known community events or partner agencies;
Pass a proclamation in support of the 2020 Census and the County Complete Count
Committee;
Sharing census information through established municipal channels; and
