SUBJECT: Historic Preservation Commission Ordinance
DESCRIPTION:
Historic Preservation Commission Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council approve an Ordinance creating the Englewood Historic
Preservation Commission.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff presented drafts of the proposed Historic Preservation Commission ordinance as well as
background information relative to the role of such a board and its relationship to the existing
historic preservation regulations of Title 16-6-11 of the Englewood Municipal Code at the
November 28, 2016 and February 13, 2017 Study Sessions. Input from these Study Sessions
and from the Englewood Historic Preservation Society have been incorporated in the proposed
ordinance. Council approved a Bill for an Ordinance on first reading at their April 17, 2017
meeting.
ANALYSIS:
This proposed ordinance creates the basic framework for the structure and composition of the
Commission. The Commission itself, as set forth in the ordinance, would establish the actual
elements of its operation. The major changes in this revised ordinance are an increase in the
membership from five to seven members and a specific statement that the Commission is to act
as an Advisory Committee to City Council.
The specific powers and duties of the Commission are:
A. Promote and encourage voluntary participation in designating, preserving, protecting,
enhancing and perpetuating those structures, sites and districts which reflect outstanding
elements of the City’s cultural, artistic, social, economic, political, architectural, history and other
heritage.
B. Foster civic pride in the beauty and accomplishments of the past.
C. Promote and encourage the use of outstanding historical or architectural structures, sites and
districts for the education, and welfare of the people of the City.

D. Promote and encourage voluntary participation in the continued private ownership and
utilization of such buildings and other structures now so owned and used, to the extent that the
objectives listed above can be attained under such a policy.
E. Promote and advise City Council on Historic Preservation.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The specific financial implications for this Commission have not been determined. The level of
funding will be established once the Commission is seated and a work program and priorities
are developed.

COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Kathleen Rinkel
DEPARTMENT: Finance & Administrative Services
DATE: May 1, 2017
SUBJECT: Budget Advisory Committee Term Extension
DESCRIPTION:
Budget Advisory Committee Term Extension
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council approve an Ordinance to change the term of the Budget Advisory
Committee (BAC) from three years (which would sunset in May, 2017) to make the BAC a
permanent committee, to add a provision to include two Council members as non-voting
liaisons, and to include an option for the BAC to provide issue briefs in addition to their annual
report.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
In Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2013, City Council established a Budget Advisory Committee
with a 3-year sunset provision.
In Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2016, the 3-year sunset provision of the original ordinance was
extended for one year to terminate on May 31, 2017.
At the March 27, 2017, Study Session, Council gave direction to make the BAC a permanent
committee of the City.
Council approved a Bill for an Ordinance on first reading at their April 17, 2107, meeting.
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance is being introduced to change the term of the Budget Advisory Committee (BAC)
from a 3-year sunset provision, ending May 31, 2017, to be a permanent committee of the City
of Englewood, to add a provision to include two Council members as non-voting liaisons, and to
include an option for the BAC to provide issue briefs in addition to their annual report.
ANALYSIS:
At the March 27, 2017, Council Study Session, the BAC provided a summary of their
accomplishments, a proposal for future committee work and requested that their sunset
provision be extended to be able to provide continued citizen input to financial issues of the City.
Page 28 of 141
The value of this team to the City is in addressing financial issues, bringing citizen perspective
forward, monitoring the budget process and in educating our community.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no additional costs involved with continuing with this Committee and its committed
volunteer team.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternative to extending the term of the Budget Advisory Committee is to allow the current
term to lapse on May 31, 2017. In doing so, citizen involvement in the financial processes of the
City would be greatly diminished.
CONCLUSION:
The Budget Advisory Committee is a dedicated and focused citizen group that should continue
in its existance in perpetuity to provide community perspective and support to City Council.

DEPARTMENT: Police
DATE: May 1, 2017
SUBJECT:
M.O.U. State of Colorado and City of Englewood D.T.R.S.
updates
DESCRIPTION:
M.O.U. State of Colorado and City of Englewood D.T.R.S. updates
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this Memorandum of Understanding between the State of
Colorado, Governor's Office of Information Technology and the City of Englewood regarding
upgrades to the public safety statewide digital trunked radio system software.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Council previously approved an M.O.U. between the same entities in July of 2013 regarding
system upgrades.
SUMMARY:
This M.O.U. allows the State of Colorado to make upgrades to the software for the Digital
Trunked Radio System. The sharing of communications resources are actions that may
substantially reduce costs and enhance communications for local, county, state, tribal and
federal public safety providers.
ANALYSIS:
The acceptance of this M.O.U. will permit the City of Englewood to functionally connect their
respective radio systems and documents the sharing of resources to the mutual benefit of all
parties. There are 5 software upgrades that are scheduled to begin in September, 2017 and
complete in December, 2017.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The acceptance of this M.O.U. obligates the City of Englewood to remain an active, connected,
and integral partner of the digital trunked radio system for a minimum period of two years from
the completion and acceptance of the software upgrade. If the City of Englewood disconnects
or otherwise ceases participation with the digital trunked radio system prior to the agreed upon
term, the City would be responsible for the apportioned costs incurred by the state during this
system-wide upgrade. The costs in this series of 5 upgrades is $20,930.00 for each of the
upgrades.
Page 34 of 141
This upgrade will be at no cost to the City because the statewide digital trunked radio system is
the only public safety digital trunked radio system. The City of Englewood will not be
disconnecting from or ceasing participation with this system, therefore there are no financial
implications to the City.
ALTERNATIVES:
There are no viable alternatives. The statewide digital trunked radio system (D.T.R.S.) is the
only public safety D.T.R.S. in the State of Colorado.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that this Memorandum of Understanding is approved by ordinance.

COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Brook Bell
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
DATE: May 1, 2017
SUBJECT:
Sign Code Amendments to the Unified Development Code
(UDC).
DESCRIPTION:
Sign Code Amendments to the Unified Development Code (UDC).
RECOMMENDATION:
Community Development recommends that City Council consider testimony during Public
Hearing on an Ordinance authorizing amendments to UDC Title 16, Chapter 6, Section 13:
Signs; Title 16, Chapter 11, Section 2: Definition of W ords, Terms, and Phrases; and Title 15,
Chapter 16, Section 3: Signs - (Garage Sales).
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council approved a Bill for an Ordinance on first reading at the April 17, 2017 meeting and
set a Pubic Hearing for May 1, 2017.
SUMMARY:
In 2012, the Sign Code was entirely rewritten with significant input from the Planning and Zoning
Commission, citizens, and the business community. Two public forums were conducted and in
September of 2012, City Council adopted the amended sign code. In June of 2015, the U.S.
Supreme Court made a ruling on content based sign codes in the case of Reed v. Town of
Gilbert, Arizona. The ruling impacts numerous municipal sign codes, including the City of
Englewood’s code.
In the case of Reed v. Town of Gilbert, the Supreme Court held that portions of the Town of
Gilbert’s Sign Code violated the First Amendment of the US Constitution. In particular, the court
ruled that a section of the Sign Code treating various types of signs differently based upon the
information they contained, was unconstitutional. As a result of this decision, many
municipalities are reviewing their sign codes to ensure that they are content neutral and that
First Amendment rights are not violated.
Community Development staff and the City Attorney’s Office reviewed Englewood’s existing
Sign Code and identified existing regulations that may be problematic based on staff’s
understanding of the Reed case. On July 19, 2016 and August 16, 2016 the Planning and
Zoning Commission held a public hearing for the proposed Sign Code amendments and voted
5-0 to forward the proposed amendments to City Council with a favorable recommendation for
adoption.
Page 48 of 141
ANALYSIS:
The specific issue in the Reed v. Town of Gilbert case focused on differing regulations for
temporary directional signs compared to other temporary signs, such as political and ideological
signs. While cities may regulate the “time, place, and manner” of signs, the content of signs
cannot be regulated. In other words, if one needs to read the sign in order to understand what
type of sign it is, then the regulation may be unconstitutional. The City may still regulate signs
based on time, manner, and place; including sign size, material, and location. The signs within
the existing code that are most affected by the Supreme Court decision are "temporary" or
"incidental" signs.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
Proposed amendments to UDC Section 16-6-13: Signs; 16-11-2: Definition of Words, Terms,
and Phrases; and Englewood Municipal Code (EMC) Section 15-16-3: Signs - (Garage Sales)
are included in the attached Bill for an Ordinance for Council’s consideration.
At the first reading of the Bill for an Ordinance on April 17, 2017 Council noted two items that
needed to be corrected in the Ordinance. The code citations and corresponding corrections are
shown below.
Page 16 of the Ordinance, 16-6-13:E.2.c.(2) Non-electronic message display (EMC) signs
illuminated at night shall not exceed a maximum luminance level of seven hundred fifty (750)
candelas per meter squared (cd/m2), regardless of the method of illumination. Measurement
shall be in candelas per meters squared (the luminous intensity of a sign in a specific direction
divided by the area of the sign).
Page 36 of the Ordinance, 16-6-13:G.1.a. Purpose. The purpose of allowing certain on-site
accessory signs and advertising devices includes:
1. Recognizing and accommodating the business community's desire for economical short-
term signage that can be easily installed, changed, or moved to meet limited advertising
needs; and
2. Maintaining an aesthetically pleasing environment by minimizing sign clutter.
For the purposes of brevity and clarity, the amendments to UDC Section 16-11-2: Definition of
Words, Terms, and Phrases only include definitions that are related to signs.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The proposed Sign Code amendments will not have any financial impact on the City of
Englewood.

2. Sign Illumination.
a. Purpose. The purpose of this Subsection is to provide objective and practical
sign lighting levels for principal signs that promote sign legibility and which
mitigate potential impacts on traffic safety and the community at-large.
b. Methods of Illumination. The following methods of illumination may be allowed
provided zone district illumination standards are met:
(1) Internal Illumination. The light source is contained within the sign, not
visible to the eye, and shines through a translucent surface; examples
include, but are not limited to, box signs and channel letters.
(2) External Illumination. The light source is outside of and directed toward the
sign face; examples include, but are not limited to, flood or spotlights and
gooseneck lights. External illumination shall comply with the following:
(a) External lighting of signs may be achieved by down lighting or by
ground-mounted light fixtures, as follows:
i. External lighting of signs ten feet (10’) or more in height shall only be
illuminated from the top of the sign and directed downward.
ii. External lighting of signs less than ten feet (10’) in height may be
illuminated from the top of the sign or from the ground.
(b) The fixtures shall be shielded and directed in such a manner as to
illuminate only the face of the sign, the light source is concealed from
pedestrians’ and motorists’ “lines of sight”, and any illumination beyond
the sign face is minimized.
(3) Integral Illumination. The light source itself is a fundamental element of the
sign; examples include, but are not limited to, neon or bulbs that spell out
the sign message. Exposed bulbs may be up to fifteen (15) watts in power.
(4) Electronic Message Display (EMD) Illumination. The light source is
programmed and supplied by use of incandescent lamps, light emitting
diodes (LED), liquid crystal displays (LCD), a flipper matrix, or similar
electronic means.
c. Sign Illumination Standards.
(1) All lighted signs shall meet applicable electrical codes adopted by the City
and a separate Electrical Permit shall be required.
(2) Non-electronic message display (EMD) signs illuminated at night shall not
exceed a maximum luminance level of seven hundred fifty (750) candelas
per meters squared (cd/m2), regardless of the method of illumination.
Measurement shall be in candelas per meters squared (the luminous
intensity of a sign in a specific direction divided by the area of the sign).
Page 70 of 141
17
(3) Electronic message display (EMD) signs. The difference between the off
and solid-message measurements shall not exceed 0.3 footcandles at
night. See Subsection EMC 16-6-13(F)(6)(b)(5)(f)(iii).
(4) Accessory signs shall not be illuminated.
(5) No sign in any R-1, R-2, or R-3 District shall be illuminated between 11:00
PM and 7:00 AM, except signs permitted for 24-hour emergency medical
services, and public services such as police and fire.
d. Prohibitions and Restrictions.
(1) Sign illumination is prohibited for the following: home occupation signs,
on-site accessory signs and advertising devices.
(2) Signs shall be illuminated in a way that does not cause glare onto the
adjacent pedestrian ways, streets, or adjacent properties.
(3) Only self-contained illumination approved by the City Manager or designee
shall be permitted for portable signs on the public sidewalk.
(4) Signs shall not include animated, flashing, moving or intermittent
illumination except that electronic message display signs may change no
more frequently than the rate specified in Subsection 16-6-13(F)(6)(b)(5)
EMC – (Electronic Message Display (EMD) Signs).
e. Searchlights. Searchlights are permitted in MU-B-1, MU-B-2, I-1 and I-2 Districts
only. Searchlights directing attention to, or advertising a business shall be
considered accessory signs.
3. Rules of Sign Measurement and Computation. The following regulations shall
control the measurement and computation of sign area, sign height, sign clearance,
street frontage, and building frontage:
a. Sign Area. The entire sign face within a continuous perimeter enclosing the
extreme limits of the display surface including any framing, trim or molding shall
be included in the computation of sign area. The supporting structure or bracing
of a sign shall be omitted from measurement, unless such structure or bracing
is made part of the message or face of the sign.
(1) Sign Area Computation. The area of all signs shall be computed by use of
standard mathematical methods. An unlimited number of lines may be used
to enclose the extreme limits of the sign, including all frames, backing, face
plates, non-structural trim or other component parts not otherwise used for
support.
(2) Signs with Backing/Background. The area measurement of a sign that is
enclosed by a box, framed, outlined, painted or otherwise prepared and
intended to provide a background for the sign display shall be determined by
the area of the entire sign including the background material.
Page 71 of 141
18
(3) Signs without Backing. The area of signs comprised of individual letters,
figures, or elements shall be determined by the sum of the area of each
separate element and shall include all the display areas, including the open
space between the elements.
(4) Three-Dimensional (3-D) Signs and Advertising Devices. The area of three-
dimensional, spherical, free form, sculptural and/or other nonplanar signs or
advertising devices, shall be determined by multiplying the length times width
of the object’s largest profile. The measurements shall be taken with the
object at full extension.
(5) Sign Faces. A sign face is the display surface available for displaying a
message. The number of sign faces used to calculate the area of a sign
shall be determined by Table 16-6-13.2 EMC – (Sign Face Computations to
Determine Sign Area).

b. Sign Height.
(1) Ground Signs. The height of a ground sign shall be computed as the vertical
distance from the normal grade at the base of the sign or its support
structure, whichever is lower, and the topmost portion of the sign or the
structure supporting the sign, whichever is higher.
Normal grade shall be construed to be the lower of: (1) existing grade prior
to construction; or (2) the newly established grade after construction,
exclusive of any filling, berming, mounding or excavating solely for the
purpose of locating the sign.
In cases where the normal grade cannot reasonably be determined, sign
height shall be computed on the assumption that the elevation of the normal
grade at the base of the sign is equal to the elevation of the nearest point of
the crown of a public street.
(2) Projecting and Marquee Signs. The height of projecting and marquee signs
shall be computed as the vertical distance from the lowest grade below the
sign or its support structure, whichever is lower, and the topmost portion of
the sign or the structure supporting the sign.
c. Sign Clearance. Clearance for all signs shall be measured as the vertical
distance between finished grade and the lowest point of the sign, including any
framework or other embellishments.
d. Projections. Wall and projecting signs shall be measured from the building
façade to the farthest aspect of the sign, including any framework or other
embellishments.
e. Measurement of Street Frontage. For the purposes of this Section street
frontage is the length of the public street abutting the parcel on which the sign is
located. For the purposes of determining allowable sign area the following shall
apply:
(1) An alley shall not be used to calculate street frontage.
(2) A City-approved private street may be used to calculate street frontage.
(3) For corner lots, the frontage of all streets shall be cumulative.
f. Measurement of Building Frontage. For the purposes of determining allowable
sign area the following shall apply:
(1) The frontage of a building shall include only the elevation(s) facing a public
street.
(a) If a building has more than one (1) elevation facing a public street, the
cumulative building frontages shall be used to determine the maximum
sign area.
Page 73 of 141
20
(b) An alley shall not be used to calculate building frontage.
(c) A City-approved private street may be used to calculate building
frontage.
(2) Building frontage is determined by measuring a straight line, paralleling the
street-facing elevation, between the two (2) most distant ends of the building.
(3) In the case of an irregular elevation surface, a single straight line
approximating such elevation shall be used to measure the elevation's
length.
(4) Building frontage used as the basis of determining allowed sign area for one
use may not be used again as the basis for determining the permitted sign
area for another use.
(5) Multi-Tenant Buildings. The portion of a building that is owned or leased by
a single occupant shall be considered a building unit. The building frontage
for a building unit shall be measured from the centerline of the party walls
defining the building unit.
g. Final Determination and Appeals. Final determination of measurements and
computations for signs and advertising devices shall be made by the City
Manager or designee. Appeals shall be made to the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
F. Principal Signs. A principal sign is defined as a sign attached to a building, structure, or
the ground in some manner that requires a Sign Permit from the City and is made of durable
materials approved by the City.
1. Permit Required. A Sign Permit shall be required for all principal signs identified in
Table 16-6-13.3A: Permitted Principal Building Signs and Table 16-6-13.3B EMC –

3. Maximum Sign Area. The maximum allowed sign area for any use shall be
determined by Tables 16-6-13.6 through 16-6-13.9 – EMC (Zone District Principal
Sign Standards).
a. Sign area may be distributed among the allowed number of signs in any manner
provided no single sign face exceeds one hundred twenty-five (125) square feet
in area.
4. Location Standards. All portions of a principal sign shall be located completely on
the parcel for which the Sign Permit is issued, unless allowed to encroach into or
over the public right-of-way by an Encroachment Permit and Indemnity Agreement
approved by the City.

COUNCIL
COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Kathleen Rinkel
DEPARTMENT: Finance & Administrative Services
DATE: May 1, 2017
SUBJECT:
General Obligation Bond for Englewood Police
Headquarters Building
DESCRIPTION:
General Obligation Bond for Englewood Police Headquarters Building
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council approve an Ordinance to establish parameters authorizing the
sale of General Obligation Bonds (GOB) for the Englewood Police Headquarters Building.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
A Ballot issue for construction of a new Englewood Police Headquarters Building was approved
by voters on November 8, 2016.
On January 3, 2017, Council approved a Resolution declaring its intent to reimburse City funds
spent on the Englewood Police Headquarters building project from the proceeds of the issuance
of Municipal Bonds.
Council approved a Bill for an Ordinance on first reading at their April 17, 2017, meeting.
SUMMARY:
The attached Ordinance is being requested to expedite the pricing and sale of General
Obligation bonds (GOB). The parameters have been set to reflect the limits in the ballot issue
approved by voters on November 8, 2016.
ANALYSIS:
Providing an Ordinance is a common practice in the finance industry and gives pre-authorization
to the City to sell the bonds within the guidelines outlined in the Ordinance. This allows the City
to make decisions, based on underwriter and financial advisor recommendations, at the time of
the purchase offer to ensure the best structure and pricing of the bond issuance given prevailing
market conditions on the date of the sale. Based on market conditions, investor orders, City and
financial advisor recommendations, the pricing of the City’s bonds is finalized on the sale date
and the Underwriter agrees to purchase the bonds at the agreed upon yields. The final pricing
information is incorporated into final documents after pricing and before closing. At closing
(approximately two weeks after pricing), the underwriter will purchase the City’s bonds at the
purchase price finalized on the pricing date. The City will receive funds for the project, and
investors will receive the City’s bonds from the underwriter.
Page 119 of 141
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Ordinance sets forth parameters to guide the terms of the bonds including the maximum
net effective interest rate and the final maturity of the bonds.
Parameters set forth in the Ballot Issue:
Debt to be increased $27 Million (limit on total Par value of the Bonds)
Repayment cost of up to $47.9 Million (Principal and Interest total)
City Taxes Increased by up to $2.2 Million annually (from which to make payments)
Parameters included in the Parameters Ordinance:
Bonds shall be issued in denominations of $5,000 in principal amount or any
integral multiple thereof
The net effective interest rate on the Bonds shall not exceed 5.0% per annum (this
allows for market variability between now and the sale date)
The final maturity date for the Bonds shall be no later than twenty (20) years
Principal and interest on the Bonds will be made from a dedicated property tax mill
levy
Payment Schedule (yet to be determined):
The bond principal and interest payment schedule is outside of this Parameters
Ordinance and will be determined with the structure of the bonds (maturity of bond
segments sold). Typically, the schedule for a General Obligation bond is structured
with two annual payments: one in June and one in December. This provides
appropriate time for collection of real estate taxes to make payments.
Delegation of authority to the Director of Finance and Administrative Services of the City, or the
City Manager provides flexibility to negotiate final pricing terms based on market conditions and
accommodate changes in the pricing date and overall financing schedule as needed. The
Ordinance also approves substantially final forms of financing related documents which are on
file and available for review.
ALTERNATIVES:
If the Ordinance is not in place at the time of the sale, the GOB sales documents will need to be
approved by Council at a regular Council meeting or at a special Council meeting called for this
purpose on the day of sale.
CONCLUSION:
To obtain the best financial outcome for the City, staff is recommending approval of this Bill for
an Ordinance to provide guidance in the sale of the General Obligation Bonds for the
Englewood Police Headquarters building project.

property in the City, sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due,
respectively, whether at maturity or upon earlier redemption.
(c) Application of Proceeds of Ad Valorem Taxes. The general ad
valorem taxes levied pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, when collected, shall be
deposited in the Bond Account and shall be applied solely to the payment of the principal
of and interest on the Bonds and for no other purpose until the Bonds, including principal
and interest, are fully paid, satisfied and discharged.
(d) Appropriation and Budgeting of Proceeds of Ad Valorem Taxes.
Moneys received from the general ad valorem taxes levied pursuant to subsection (b) of
this Section in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds
when due, respectively, are hereby appropriated for that purpose, and all amounts
required to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds due, respectively, in each year
shall be included in the annual budget and appropriation ordinance to be adopted and
passed by the Council for such year.
(e) Use or Advance of Other Legally Available Moneys. Nothing herein
shall be interpreted to prohibit or limit the ability of the City to use legally available
moneys to pay all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Bonds. If and to the
extent such other legally available moneys are used to pay the principal of or interest on
the Bonds, the City may, but shall not be required to, (i) reduce the amount of taxes
levied for such purpose pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section or (ii) use proceeds of
taxes levied pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section to reimburse the fund or account
from which such other legally available moneys are withdrawn for the amount withdrawn
from such fund or account to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds. If the City
selects alternative (ii) in the immediately preceding sentence, the taxes levied pursuant
to subsection (b) of this Section shall include amounts sufficient to fund the
reimbursement.
(f) Certification to County Commissioners. It is hereby declared that, if
the City does not otherwise determine and certify to the Board of County Commissioners
of the County a rate of levy for general ad valorem property taxes as required by
subsection (b) of this Section, the foregoing provisions of this Section shall constitute a
certificate from the Council to the Board of County Commissioners of the County
showing the aggregate amount of ad valorem taxes to be levied by the Board of County
Commissioners of the County from time to time, as required by law, for the purpose of
paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due.
(g) Deposit of Moneys to Pay Bonds with, and Payment of Bonds by
Paying Agent. No later than three Business Days immediately preceding each date on

Section 6. Form of Bonds. The Bonds shall be in substantially the form set forth in
Appendix A hereto with such changes thereto, not inconsistent herewith, as may be necessary
or desirable and approved by the officials of the City executing the same (whose manual or
facsimile signatures thereon shall constitute conclusive evidence of such approval). All
covenants, statements, representations and agreements contained in the Bonds are hereby
approved and adopted as the covenants, statements, representations and agreements of the
City. Although attached as appendices for the convenience of the reader, Appendix A is an
integral part of this Ordinance and are incorporated herein as if set forth in full in the body of this

behalf of the City with the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor, shall bear a manual or
facsimile of the seal of the City and shall be attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the
City Clerk or Acting City Clerk, all of whom are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and
execute the Bonds in accordance with the requirements hereof. Should any officer whose
manual or facsimile signature appears on the Bonds cease to be such officer before delivery of
any Bond, such manual or facsimile signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all
purposes. When the Bonds have been duly executed, the officers of the City are authorized to,
and shall, deliver the Bonds to the Paying Agent for authentication. No Bond shall be secured
by or titled to the benefit of this Ordinance, or shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless
the certificate of authentication of the Paying Agent has been manually executed by an
authorized signatory of the Paying Agent. The executed certificate of authentication of the
Paying Agent upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence, and the only competent evidence,
that such Bond has been properly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 8. Registration of Bonds in Registration Books Maintained by Paying
Agent. The Paying Agent shall maintain registration books in which the ownership, transfer and
exchange of Bonds shall be recorded. The person in whose name any Bond shall be registered
on such registration book shall be deemed to be the absolute owner thereof for all purposes,
whether or not payment on any Bond shall be overdue, and neither the City nor the Paying
Agent shall be affected by any notice or other information to the contrary.
Section 9. Transfer and Exchange of Bonds. The Bonds may be transferred or
exchanged at the principal office of the Paying Agent in the city identified in the definition of
Paying Agent in the Section hereof titled “Definitions” or at such other office of the Paying Agent
designated by the Paying Agent for such purpose for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds
of other authorized denominations of the same maturity and interest rate, upon payment by the
transferee of a reasonable transfer fee established by the Paying Agent, together with any tax or
governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange and any cost
of printing bonds in connection therewith. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond, duly
endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Owner or his or
her attorney duly authorized in writing, the City shall execute and the Paying Agent shall
authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee a new Bond. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, the Paying Agent shall not be required to transfer any Bond (i) which is
scheduled to be redeemed in whole or in part between the Business Day immediately preceding
the mailing of the notice of redemption and the redemption date or (ii) between the Record Date
for any Interest Payment Date and such Interest Payment Date.
Section 10. Replacement of Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Bonds. If any Bond shall

A-11
(e) the issuance of the Bonds and all procedures undertaken incident thereto
are in full compliance and conformity with all applicable requirements, provisions and
limitations prescribed by the Enabling Laws, and all conditions and limitations of the
Enabling Laws relating to the issuance of the Bonds have been satisfied.
Section 14. Federal Income Tax Covenants. For purposes of ensuring that the
interest on the Bonds is and remains excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes, the City hereby covenants that:
(a) Prohibited Actions. The City will not use or permit the use of any
proceeds of the Bonds or any other funds of the City from whatever source derived,
directly or indirectly, to acquire any securities or obligations and shall not take or permit
to be taken any other action or actions, which would cause any Bond to be an “arbitrage
bond” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code, or would otherwise cause the
interest on any Bond to be includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
(b) Affirmative Actions. The City will at all times do and perform all acts
permitted by law that are necessary in order to assure that interest paid by the City on
the Bonds shall not be includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes under
the Code or any other valid provision of law. In particular, but without limitation, the City
represents, warrants and covenants to comply with the following rules unless it receives
an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such compliance is not necessary: (i) gross
proceeds of the Bonds and the Project will not be used in a manner that will cause the
Bonds to be considered “private activity bonds” within the meaning of the Code; (ii) the
Bonds are not and will not become directly or indirectly “federally guaranteed”; and
(iii) the City will timely file an Internal Revenue Service Form 8038-G with respect to the
Bonds, which shall contain the information required to be filed pursuant to
Section 149(e) of the Code.
(c) Tax Letter of Instructions. The City will comply with the Tax Letter of
Instructions delivered to it on the date of issuance of the Bonds, including but not limited
by the provisions of the Tax Letter of Instructions regarding the application and
investment of Bond proceeds, the use of the Project, the calculations, the deposits, the
disbursements, the investments and the retention of records described in the Tax Letter
of Instructions; provided that, in the event the Tax Letter of Instructions are superseded
or amended by new Tax Letter of Instructions drafted by, and accompanied by an
opinion of, Bond Counsel stating that the use of the new Tax Letter of Instructions will
not cause the interest on the Bonds to become includible in gross income for federal
income tax purposes, the City will thereafter comply with the new Tax Letter of
Instructions.
Section 15. Defeasance. Any Bond shall not be deemed to be Outstanding hereunder
if it shall have been paid and cancelled or if Defeasance Securities shall have been deposited in
trust for the payment thereof (whether upon or prior to the maturity of such Bond, but if such
Bond is to be paid prior to maturity, the City shall have given the Paying Agent irrevocable
directions to give notice of redemption as required by this Ordinance, or such notice shall have
been given in accordance with this Ordinance). In computing the amount of the deposit
described above, the City may include the maturing principal of and interest to be earned on the
Defeasance Securities. If less than all the Bonds are to be defeased pursuant to this Section,
the City, in its sole discretion, may select which of the Bonds shall be defeased.
Page 131 of 141
A-12
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Bond Insurance
Policy is issued and principal and/or interest due on the Bonds is paid by the Bond Insurer
pursuant to the Bond Insurance Policy, the Bonds shall remain Outstanding for all purposes, not
be defeased or otherwise satisfied and not be considered paid by the City, and all covenants,
agreements and other obligations of the City to the Owners shall continue to exist and shall run
to the benefit of the Bond Insurer, and the Bond Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of such
Owners.
Section 16. Events of Default. Each of the following events constitutes an Event of
Default:
(a) Nonpayment of Principal or Interest. Failure to make any payment of
principal of or interest on the Bonds when due.
(b) Breach or Nonperformance of Duties. Breach by the City of any
material covenant set forth herein or failure by the City to perform any material duty
imposed on it hereunder and continuation of such breach or failure for a period of
sixty days after receipt by the City Attorney of written notice thereof from the Paying
Agent or from the Owners of at least 10% of the aggregate amount of the Bond
Obligation, provided that such sixty-day period shall be extended so long as the City has
commenced and continues a good faith effort to remedy such breach or failure.
(c) Bankruptcy or Receivership. An order of decree by a court of
competent jurisdiction declaring the City bankrupt under federal bankruptcy law or
appointing a receiver of all or any material portion of the City’s assets or revenues is
entered with the consent or acquiescence of the City or is entered without the consent or
acquiescence of the City but is not vacated, discharged or stayed within thirty days after
it is entered.
Section 17. Remedies for Events of Default.
(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of
Default, the Owners of not less than 25% of the aggregate amount of the Bond
Obligation, including, without limitation, a trustee or trustees therefor may proceed
against the City to protect and to enforce the rights of the any Owners under this
Ordinance by mandamus, injunction or by other suit, action or special proceedings in
equity or at law, in any court of competent jurisdiction: (i) for the payment of interest on
any installment of principal of any Bond that was not paid when due at the interest rate
borne by such Bond; (ii) for the specific performance of any covenant contained herein;
(iii) to enjoin any act that may be unlawful or in violation of any right of any Owner of any
Bond; (iv) for any other proper legal or equitable remedy; or (v) any combination of such
remedies or as otherwise may be authorized by applicable law; provided, however, that
acceleration of any amount not yet due on the Bonds according to their terms shall not
be an available remedy. All such proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had
and maintained for the equal benefit of all Owners of Bonds then Outstanding.
(b) Failure To Pursue Remedies Not a Release; Rights Cumulative. The
failure of any Owner of any Outstanding Bond to proceed in accordance with
subsection (a) of this Section shall not relieve the City of any liability for failure to
perform or carry out its duties under this Ordinance. Each right or privilege of any such
Owner (or trustee therefor) is in addition and is cumulative to any other right or privilege,
Page 132 of 141
A-13
and the exercise of any right or privilege by or on behalf of any Owner shall not be
deemed a waiver of any other right or privilege of such Owner.
(c) Bond Insurer Third-Party Beneficiary; Right To Control Remedies. In
the event that the Bond Insurance Policy is issued and to the extent that this Ordinance
confers upon or gives or grants to the Bond Insurer any right, remedy or claim under or
by reason of this Ordinance, the Bond Insurer is hereby explicitly recognized as being a
third party beneficiary hereunder and may enforce any such right, remedy or claim
conferred, given or granted hereunder. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, so long as it is not in default of its obligations under the Bond Insurance
Policy, the Bond Insurer shall be entitled to control and direct the enforcement of all
rights and remedies granted to the Owners under this Ordinance and pursuant to State
law.

Agent and selection and appointment of a successor; and (iii) initiation or approval of
any action not described in clause (i) or (ii) above which requires the consent of Owners.
Section 19. Appointment and Duties of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent identified in
the Section hereof titled “Definitions” is hereby appointed as paying agent, registrar and
authenticating agent for the Bonds unless and until the City removes it as such and appoints a
successor Paying Agent, in which event such successor shall automatically succeed to the

records regarding the Bonds to such successor. The Paying Agent shall agree to perform all
duties and to take all actions assigned to it hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section 20. Approval of Related Documents. The Council hereby ratifies and
approves the distribution and use in connection with the offering of the Bonds of the Preliminary
Official Statement relating to the Bonds; authorizes and directs the preparation of, and
authorizes and directs the execution by the Mayor of an Official Statement for use in connection

hundred eighty days following the adoption of this Ordinance, the Sale Delegate is authorized to

Sale Delegate the authority to determine whether or not the Bonds will be secured by the Bond

the issuance of the Bond Insurance Policy.

This bond is part of an issue of general obligation bonds of the City designated the City
of Englewood, Colorado, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2017, issued in the principal amount
of $_________ (the “Bonds”). The Bonds have been issued pursuant to, under the authority of,
and in full conformity with, the Charter, the Constitution and the laws of the State, including, in
particular, Part 2 of Article 57 of Title 11, Colorado Revised Statutes (collectively, the
“Supplemental Act”); pursuant to authorization by a majority of the registered electors of the City
voting in an election duly called and held on November 8, 2016; and pursuant to a ordinance
adopted by the City Council of the City. THE ORDINANCE CONSTITUTES THE CONTRACT
BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THIS BOND AND THE CITY. THIS BOND IS
ONLY EVIDENCE OF SUCH CONTRACT AND, AS SUCH, IS SUBJECT IN ALL RESPECTS
TO THE TERMS OF THE ORDINANCE, WHICH SUPERSEDES ANY INCONSISTENT
STATEMENT IN THIS BOND.
The Bonds have been issued by the City for the purpose of providing funds for the
Project described in the Ordinance. The Bonds are general obligations of the City and the full
faith and credit of the City are pledged for the punctual payment of the principal of and interest
on the Bonds. For the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due,
respectively, the Council in the Ordinance has covenanted annually, to the extent legally
available moneys are not otherwise applied, to determine and certify to the Board of County
Commissioners of Arapahoe County, a rate of levy for general ad valorem taxes on all of the
taxable property in the City, without limit as to the mill rate to generate an amount sufficient in
each year to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due, respectively.
[The redemption provisions from Section 4 of the Ordinance and the Sale Certificate
shall be set forth herein.]
Notice of any redemption of Bonds shall be given by the Paying Agent in the name of the
City by sending a copy of such notice by electronic means to DTC or its successors, or by first
class, postage prepaid mail, not less than thirty days prior to the redemption date, to the Owner
of each Bond being redeemed. Such notice shall specify the number or numbers of the Bonds
so to be redeemed (if redemption shall be in part) and the redemption date. If any Bond shall
have been duly called for redemption and if, on or before the redemption date, there shall have
been deposited with the Paying Agent in accordance with the Ordinance funds sufficient to pay
the redemption price of such Bond on the redemption date, then such Bond shall become due
and payable at such redemption date, and from and after such date interest will cease to accrue
thereon. Failure to deliver any redemption notice or any defect in any redemption notice shall
not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of Bonds with respect to which such
failure or defect did not occur. Any Bond redeemed prior to its maturity by prior redemption or
otherwise shall not be reissued and shall be cancelled.
The Paying Agent shall maintain registration books in which the ownership, transfer and
exchange of Bonds shall be recorded. The person in whose name this bond shall be registered
on such registration books shall be deemed to be the absolute owner hereof for all purposes,
whether or not payment on this bond shall be overdue, and neither the City nor the Paying
Agent shall be affected by any notice or other information to the contrary.
This bond may be transferred or exchanged at the principal office of the Paying Agent in
Denver, Colorado, or at such other office of the Paying Agent designated by the Paying Agent
for such purpose for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of other authorized
denominations ($5,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the same maturity and interest rate,
upon payment by the transferee of a reasonable transfer fee established by the Paying Agent,
Page 138 of 141
A-19
together with any tax or governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer
or exchange and any cost of printing bonds in connection therewith. Upon surrender for transfer
of any Bond duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the
Owner or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, the City shall execute and the Paying
Agent shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee a new Bond. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Ordinance, the Paying Agent shall not be required to transfer any
Bond (a) which is scheduled to be redeemed in whole or in part between the Business Day
immediately preceding the mailing of the notice of redemption and the redemption date; or
(b) between the Record Date for any Interest Payment Date and such Interest Payment Date.
The Ordinance may be amended or supplemented from time to time with or without the
consent of the registered owners of the Bonds as provided in the Ordinance.
It is hereby certified that all conditions, acts and things required by the Charter, the
Constitution and laws of the State, including the Supplemental Act, and the ordinances of the
City, to exist, to happen and to be performed, precedent to and in the issuance of this bond,
exist, have happened and have been performed, and that neither this bond nor the other bonds
of the issue of which this bond is a part exceed any limitations prescribed by the Enabling Laws
or the ordinances of the City.
This bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Ordinance, or become valid or
obligatory for any purpose, until the Paying Agent shall have signed the certificate of
authentication hereon.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City Council of the City has caused this bond to be
executed with the signature of its Mayor and attested by the signature of its Acting City Clerk,
