Recognition of Scheduled Public Comment There were no scheduled speakers. 7. Recognition of Unscheduled Public Comment (a) your minds. Joseph Barrentine , an Englewood resident, said my speech, prepared for tonight, will not change (b) Kathy Haake, an Englewood resident , said I grew up in a small town that had a historical society . She wanted to know what the rush is to sell the Depot. Why do we not have a right to vote on that? Why is the Council ignoring the petitions? She is bothered by things that are happening. (c) Elaine Hults , an Englewood resident, said I understand the Acoma property discussed at Study Session and it doesn 't make sense . Englewood is not, never has been , and never will be an upscale community . Englewood is an average community. Look at what traffic and parking is during the day. We are losing businesses left and right. They are moving to Littleton . The parking on Broadway doesn't make sense . (d) Amy Sposato, an Englewood resident, said the problem I have with this project is that not one City Council member has walked into our business and told us about it. This impacts not only my residence , but also the bus iness I work in . We are a blue collar town . The parking lot will impact the current businesses . Where is your vision? There needs to be more transparency between the City and the developer. People are upset about this project. Does Council ever visit the businesses? • (e) John R. Fetters Ill , representing the building next door to the Acoma project , said the building owner has not ever been contacted . Local businesses have some concerns . Parking spaces are needed for the • businesses. If they are too far away , they are ineffectual. We are entitled to parking as we paid a tax for them . The parking is a disconnect. I am excited about the project, but also have some concerns. There are some unintended costs associated with this project. (f) Ida May Nicholl , an Englewood resident, said I am speaking on the sale of the park land. It is amazing what you can find out by visiting folks . We brought before you petitions to show you people care about Englewood . Let the citizens win on this one. People do not think their voice will be heard . Please put the ordinance on the November ballot and let the citizens' vote on it. It is important to uphold our City Charter. (g) Laurett Barrentine, an Englewood resident , said she is here to speak about our legal representation . He allows City Council to do what they want to do . He is not elected but hired by you . The City Attorney used a case that is still in court to justify not accepting the protest of the ordinance. You have one last chance to put the sale of the land on the ballot. We have the right to protest. Council responded to Public Comment. 8 . Communications, Proclamations and Appointments There were no communications , proclamations or appointments . 9 .
