7. Recognition of Unscheduled Public Comment
(a) James Murkland said I did bring so me han dou ts for you . Can I distribute those to yo u now?
Mayor Woodward said you can hand l ,1osu to the City Clerk . Mr . Murkland sa id than k you . Thank you, Mayo r
and Co un cil. I am the Dirac lor of the North American Cannabis Co-op out of Denver . How are you ton ight ?
Mayo r Woodward said geed, thank yo u. Mr . Murkland sa id thank yo u for having us at the last meeting . I have
one more handoul for you here . We just came from the Der,ve r City Co un cil meet ing , spirited as you ma y
im agine . What I ha ve prov ide d for you tonight is ... l just made a copy for yo u ... for yo ur study materials for your
Stud y Sess io ns . Th is Is th e current Sena tor Romer draft thal he just redid . The co py of th e Col orado Sheriffs
Association proposed bil l. There is a co py of the City of Denve fs ordi nanc e that they j ust voted tonight to go to
Pub lic Hearing next Monday . There is a response or an amendment suggestion by one of the Council members
and also a bri ef re sponse by Rob Corry , an attorney. You might have he ard his name in th e news , on the
Denve r ord u ,Je ce . I provide these material s for your Study Se ssio n. Aga in, I want to applaud you guys, the
entire Council, for taking your time . De nver did comment that it to ok them 34 da ys to rush th eir ordinance . And
they rea lize that th ere are prov isio ns in this ordinance that are controversia l, tha t are proba bl y goi ng to be
nu llified or trumped by State law an d ther~ were also a couple of challenges in there. They see that will have
legal challenges . So , taking your time and stud yi ng th is really is very importa nt. The six areas they
tagged ... and we will put together some more materials for your Stud y Sessions so you can tear into this a li ttle
more , and you wil l see that the ir summary is very si mp le . They talk abou t effective dates , a general provision
abo ut defini ng and not rede fi ning , medical mari juana and using Amendment 20 as the guidel ine , wh ich jus t
makes sens e. The City Attorney said tha t there is a relations :1ip to State law and th ey recogn iz e that , and they
•
recog nize that pat ients an d caregivers possess medica l marijuana , and th ey nee d to clarify that iss ue , as yo u all •
are approac hing defining . There are certa inly perso ns prohibited as li cens ees that th ey have ident ified . I am
tota lly in agreement with that. And prohibited dis pensary loca tions So we would urge you to look carefu ll y at
those th ings . They ha ve a 1000 foot number they have come up with in Denver but , again , they have struggled
wit h tha t a little bit an d th ere may be changes to that alter the ir Pub lic Hearing . They are having their first
read ing . Al so, they have performance stand ards, wh ich I thin k are pretty common sense . You'll see that. So ,
hopefully we 're able to ... the 7th ... coming to Rick 's meeting ... and bring some mo re materials and the n we 'll
develop some more study mater ials for you , for your Stud y Se ssions . The one thing that we wanted to clarify is
that the re are cert ain issues th ey did not address in thei r ordinance , and that is because the y re cog nize that
Stat e is obviou sl y moving ve ry qu ick ly wi th three or four bills to try and resolve th ese ... you snow ... gray
areas ... you might say . And one of those , of co u•se, is the legitimacy of doctor/pa ti ent re lationships and those
kinds of th in gs . So , again, than k you for unde rs tandi ng the pat ie nt on the end of this and helpi ng to provide
them safe acce ss in the City and h;.ve it under th e guidelines th at protec t all of the City's assets , to make it a
very safe and lega l place for the pa tie nts in Englewood to go . So , with that I will jus t kind of jump ou t. Than k
you again . I hope to see you aga11 1n Study Session . Thank you, Mayor and Council .
Mayor Woodward and several Cou .1c1I members sa id thank you Mayor Woodward said thank you for the
material.
(b) Shanno n said hell o aga in My name is Shannon and I :,ve in Englewood , Distric t 1. I am here
tonight lo disc uss Baker Park agai n. Today I made over 140 flyers which I handed out in the im med iate
neighborhood of Bake r Park . And I have made copies for the person who take s the minutes , the City Manag er,
Ci ty Attorney and City Counci l members that you are getting now . You can peruse it al your leisure . Th e
lnformatic 0 in the flyers was provide~ by Bob Toll of Arapahoe County , Dave Lee and Jerrell Bla ck of
Eng lewood ,'arks & Recre ation and the Englewood Cit izun . The information provided by Dave Le e and Jerre ll
Black has alread y been sent to City Council members , City Mana ger and City Attorney . The point is that Ba ker
Park is the onl1 park In th e Ci ty of Englewood that had a winter port-o-potty 1n th e past. but currently doer not.
Alter sitting ,n the December 7, 2009 City Council meeting and watching the majority of the City Coun cil •
members vote for 1/, million dollars to go to Pirates Cove and Centennial Par k co mp lex, I find ii la ugh able that
the City ca n't fur,d the $95 .00 monthly fe e rent al for a regular toilet , the $30 .00 for its delivery an d the $14 .25 for
Ire 15% mon thly fuel surcharge on the to ilet from October to Ap;i l. Yet Belleview Pa ,·k has two port -o -potties ,
•

as does the CentP.nnlal complex . And what appears to be a handicapped port-a-potty at Canine Corral , which
costs , supposedly , $125.00 a month for rental and is there year aro•Jnd , to which Englewood Unleashed
contributes noth in g to ... even though their motto has been "ded ica ted to public education for off-leash dog
recreation site selection , park ma intenance and fund raisir,g ·. Where are the ir funds going to that they raise
from their annual chili cook-off th at is held at the Malley Center, etc ., if not to help the City maintain Canine
Corral , especiall y in these tough economic times? Mayor Woodward has stated a separat ion of City of
Englewood and Englewood School Boa rd and Schools . Yet there are two poli ce officers at the regular High
School and Middle School . Who Is paying those officers salaries , since the police officers are City employees ?
And why is there not a police officer going to the Alternative High School. al least sporadically , when known
juvenile delinquents attend there? I know City Council members cannot make co mments till the end of the
meeting . If it does not run too lo ng , as It did last lim e, I will be here to listen to your co mmen ts . If I do have to
leave , I suggest you mak e the comments anywa y, so I can get the min ute s at a later date to see what was said
by City Council members . Thank yo u.
Mayor Woodward said than k you .
(c) Brian Ble ile , an Englewood resident , said good even ;ng la dies and gentlemen . I have been ,n
th is roor.i many times before, but never to address City Council . So , bear with me . I am here as both a citize n
and for those of you that know me , as the Chair of the Plan ning and Zoning Commission . But over the last
couple of weeks , I have been follow ing along with the med ical marij uana issue pretty closely . Both , again , as a
citiz en and through Pla nn ing and Zoning , obv io usly . But I have a few items of feedback I would like to bring
forth regarding the December 7th meeting that you all had . There was an in-de pth discuss ion regard ing the
medical marij u na ordinance that was sent to the Counc il via Plann ing and Zoning . But , aga in, my feedback .
To begin with , I th ink that the prism through whic h any City Council membe r, or any elected official , should view
legislation is the prism of what do you want Englewood to look like? You know . What do you want it to
•
represent? What character do you want ii to have ? What perception do you want to create? And in listening to
th e on-line meeting minutes , I sense we really don't ha ve a lot of those questions answered . I am very
frustrated both as a citizen , but probably more so as Chair . In lis ten ing to the on-line meeting
recordings ... specificall/, I am referring to questions and discussion points that came up from the December 7th
Council meeting , in which ii is apparent that not all of you actually ,ead or listen to the meeting minutes of the
Planning and Zoning Commission . So, I am very frustrated by that . If you would have taken time to read and
list en to the very numerous amount of hours that the P & Z committee actually discussed this ordin ance and the
many , many meet ings we had on this topic , I think yo u wou ld have realized that som e of th e questi ons that were
asked , we re already answe red . For example , Member Penn , you asked about the 500 fool bu ffer . There was a
ve ry good dis cussion on why we had that. Member Gilli!, you asked if Plann ing & Zoni ng re vi ewed fo od items .
Aga in, that was very well covered in the meeting minutes . So , it's , it's apparent to me, tnat either ... I don 't
know ... l'm making the assumption . If you are asking questions about topics that were already dlscussed ... you
:::c c!!her shirk ing your responsibllities and not reading the minutes and the notes from your vc ::.mteer citizen
committees . Those are a plethora of informat ion by which lo ascertai n what the co mmittee is feeling And
the re were many questions and comments that we re made that were very well answered in our num erous
meeting min utes . But , on another front , I am equally frustrated that ... it Is ironi c that we are vo ting on anothe r
morato riu m ton ight. Although , I th ink the moratori um is probably a good idea , I feel that th e reason that the
Counci l ~ac ided on a moratorium was because you needed more time to do you r homework and study the fa cts
And I remember Mccaslin, you specifically said we ne ed to do additional homework . And I am frustr ated by the
fact that this ordinance came to Planning & Zoning four month s ago . The moratorium '" now five months old .
So , this Coun cil , now that it is January , has had almost six months to do your homework and it is clear to me
that you didn't read the minutes and you didn 't review what was discussed and now yo. are still do ing your
homework . That frustrates me . But , you know , regarding additional comments tonight. We are not Denver and
they are discussing 500 , 1000 foot , 2500 foot buffers . But , we are not Den ver; we are Englewood . We don 't
need to wait for an other commun ity to make a decision . And , yes , the State doesn 't have it all figured c ut. I gi·,e
you that. We are Englewood . Step up to the plate , City Cou ncil . Stand by your conv ictio,1 s and ask yo urself :
•
wh at do you wan t Englewood to re pres ent? Do you want t~ be kn own as the pot cap ita l of the worl~'/ Do you
want to have th e sam e bu sine ss improvem ::rtt district issues com ing before ~1s because a legiumate business ,
that has been legalized , is not real ly welco,ne in my backyard? I don 't know . Those are tough qu estions . I
don 't have all th e answers , but I know Plann ing & Zoning discussed It heavily and I would recommend you

definitely go back and read those meet ing minutes . But... I digress . It is well ... it is well known that... especially a
lot of topics that ~ave come before Council in the la st couple of months is sort of the ... the sq ueaky whe, gets
the fix . And I am not here to be a squeaky wheel and I don 't really think anyth ing needs to be. fixed . What I •m
here to ask , is that as you spend another four months , on top of the six months thet you ha ll' ;, •rly had , that
you think abo ut... on how to make this right... do so , not because I provided feedbac • but bee•·,,.. have as ked
you to view this ordinance with the question of what would you wa nt Englewood to be? Wha . ·••· ,pt ion do you
want to create? And what commun ity do you want to live in? Thank yo u for your time .
Mayor Woodward said than k you Brian .
Council Member Wil son said thanks Bri an .
(d) Jack ie Edwards , an Englewood resident , said I am sorry I was late. I have been ill and I get
•
detained by that on ce in awhile . I ha ve with me some handouts . I have prepared some brief handouts for you
he re to review . And what the;e are , are flyer s 'hat I plan to distribute th roughout the community , all over
Englewood ... com munit ies all over Englewood . :o get people invo lved in the medical cannabis iss ue and try to
gel some people from various walks of life and parts of town and varied typ Js of knowledge to come in and give
their viewpoints on Just what their ideas are and what their concerns are anrl so forth , for the medical csn nab is
fa cilities in tile City . And at the end of th e fiyer , I would like to be able to Inclu de the dates of your respt •tive
community meetings and the times and loca tio ns, if I could please . And then I drop in a district map at th,· end
of those or up somewhere where it loo ks good, so that people know where these locations are for the mee, 1gs
and then may be that way we can get some other people ou t to share the ir view and so forth an d th eir
kn owledge on this issue . And then there is a little 3 ½ by 5 ½ card It 's an abbreviated version of the fiyer . An.'
I would like to put the date s and times of your community meetings on that as well . So , if you could provide me
with feed back , I would like to get these out in th e ne xt several da ys , If that is possible . I did not put Rick's
community meeting for the 7th on here , because I knew th is wo uldn 't be read y to go out by then . So , thank you , A
that Is wha t I have for this evening . Oh , and by the way , I applau d you for extending the moratorium . I think that "9
was extremely intelligen t, because there are so ma ny different aspe cts and viewpoints and issues to consider , in
order to make this fair for everyone and in ord er fo r the way th at it is set up to be able to grow with the
progression of this whole program . So , I th orou ghly , thorough ly , am happy with your decis ions . Thank you .
Mayor Woodward sai d thank you .
8. Communications , Proclamations and Appointments
(a) Mayor Woodward said Vincent Atencio will be sworn in as Mun icipal Ju dge for th e City of
Engle wood by the Hono rable Randal l J. Davis . The Honorable Judge Atenc io wo e the election as the Mun icipal
Judge , the only one I believe in the Slate, by a landslide in November . There was la ughte r.
Judg e Davis sa id good even ing . Thank you for having me here ton ig ht. Up unt il recently , I was the full -ti me
Co unty Court Judge in Broomfield County . I am now on sem :-retired on senior st atus ... that not only refers lo my
advanced age , bu> a!so desc ribes the work that I do . I am th e subs lilut e judge for lack of a belier descriptio n,
trave ling jurisd ic tio n to jurisd iction, wandering aim lessly look ing for judi cia l work . Llnfortucal ely, I haven 't had
the oppo rt unity to s't here in Englewood , because as you are all aware you have a residency requirement. But
in my senio r sta tus , ; do , occasionally , get to travel to other jurisdictions, such as Englewood for momento us
occas,ons , such as s•vean ng-,n ceremonies This 1s actually th e thi rd time that I have appeared before you wi th
the honor of swearing -i n the Hon orable Vincent Atencio . So, I am pleased to be here , yet aga in, to do this for
my friend . Judge Aten c1c and I go back a long time . An d I am not necessarily referring to our chronologica l
age , but our careers have ti ;1r:.kA~ ~1m il arly over th e years . We both were admitted to practic.~ in the 1970's and
had cases together and that is how we got to know each other and become friends . We both became municipal
judges almost sim ult;,neously in 1987 . First , as part-time judges , worki11g ourselves up to full -time judgesh ips ,
eventually . So , I am delighted to be he re , ye' again , to swear hin, In tonight. Judge Atencio Is notorious ... ! •
mean fam ous , .. among our mu nici pal judge ca llings , bec:2.use he Is, in fact , the only elected Judge In the State of
Colorado . Not oniy at the municipal co urt leve l, but he is the only e.lected judge in all of the State of Colorado ,
eit her at the mun icipal court level , the State court level or the Feae ral court level . So , it is uniqu e to yo ur

I know he wants me to say that on the record that he got 100% of The vo te I wul kind of softly say that is
because he d1dn t have an y oppos1 tI on I am confide nt that even had he had op posIt1on. that he would have
got:en 100% of the vote because I kn ow how well respected he Is not only amongst !~;s man y rnun1c1pa l Ju dg e
colleagues but by your c1t1zens . yoi.;r coinmun1 ty your Clly Council And I am ce11 aIn that he does 't have any
oppos1tIon for these elections . because f ven the other att orneys m the City respect the JO b he does and you

to be back here many times to swear hI,r, In . m tne future 1 could go on and on about Judge Atencio and he has

•
Wastewater Treatment Plant (UE WWTP) Supe rvisory Committee to approve , by motion , a cons tructi on
contract for the Sol ids Contact Tan ks Air Pipe and Storm Water Projects at th e UE WWT P. Staff recommends
awarding the bid to the lowest responsive bidde r, Stanek Constructc ,s, Inc . in the amount of $964,000 .00 . He
sa id thank you for having me here . I am here to present the recomm, oded action for the approval of the
construction contract to Stanek Constructors for the major Air Pipe ... mJjor infrastructure repair project tha t was
identified during a previous project. The project, which is called the Soli ds Contact Tank Air Pipe and Storm
Water Project, encompasses a variety ... a small variety of projects of wh ich the major items include a
replacement of a varied section of an air pipe that has been structurall y damaged and needs to be replaced .
Additionally, there is a digester tank that has an interior PVC liner that has been dam aged and is leaking , that
also needs to be repa ired . We nave been working with the Public Works Department. They 've identified a
drainage area wit hin the plant site that needs to be med iated . There is a detention pond currently on this plant
site and we've worked with the Public Works Department to identify ... to install a water qual ity detention pond
and install a storm water inlet that will go to the South Platte Rive r. So that is the project , in a nutshel l. We had
a bid opening in th e summer . We had seven con tractor s bid on this project. We had a good range of prices or •
bids co me in , which reflects a go od compe titi ve market that we are currently in right now . Stan ek Constructor s
were identified as the lowest responsive bidd er. We have re viewed their bid package , verified their references
and found them to be the best qualifi ed con tra ctor . So we are , with the supervisory committee , wh ic h has
already approved Stanek Constructors , we are recommending that they be awa rd ed this contract to perform thi s
project. I will say that th is amount , $964 ,000 00 , is in the 2010 budget and it is actually under budget...under
what we estimated for this project.
Mayor Wood ward asked if there were any questions .
Council Member Mccaslin sa i~ the lowest bid . Were yo u asked to go with the lowest bid or are you comfortable
wi th th is contractor , that they can do th is job? Or the other that bid S1 .200 ,000 .00? Could you clarify that ? Mr .
Woo replied yes . We don't necessarily always go with the lowest responsive bidder but we do have to do our
due diligence and I believe that we have done our due d1h9ence here . Stanek Constructors rs a local Co lorado
com pany . They are actually based in Golden , Colorado . They are widely know, .. , Colorado as a
water/wa~tewater contractor . They actually have an office in Californi a as well but they are mainly ba sE:!d in
Colorado . They do proj~c ts all throughout the reg ion ; th e Front Range areas , the mountains , the western slope
They range in projects from as low as $20 ,000 .00 , all the way up to $25 ,000 ,000 .00 . In verifying ·''of ''ie other
references we did, because they were quite a bit lower than the averag e, we did question why th~. Nue so low .
In talk ing wi th the other refere nces , as far as change work contingencies , th ey were all well below the 5%, which
is the industry standard , so we feel very confid c,,t that Stanek ,swell qualified and can do this job . Council
Mem ber McCaslir said thank you .
Council Member Gill it sa id a qu Jst1on I have is whEt are the storm wa ler projPcts? Mr. Woo answered a storm
water project is the wa te r quality pond and pipe inlet and a storm water pipe that will take the drainage from our
plant site and adjacent neighboring sites to the South Platte River. Currently , right no w, there is no drainage .
We have a drainage issue right in the northeast area of our plan t site and it Is ju.st collect ing wa ter , which is not •
a good thing to have right now . Counc il Member Grllit said the new UV thing that they are ta lking abo ut ; will that
be part cf that project? Mr. Woo said no that will be a separate project. Counci l Member Gill it said I j ust wanted
to make su re .

12 . Gene ral Discus sion
(a) Mayors Choice
(i) \!1ayor Woodward said I wanted to mention that the ... on the 26 th of December, I
received a letter from the United States Postal Service regarding the Broadway Post Office and the possible
closure and sale of that fac ility within the ne xt couple of yeara . They had , within this letter, whic h came from
their co mm unity relations, asked for feedb ack by January 15th to that proposed clo sure . I met with staff
members ,,f Representat ive Dia na DeGette's office regardin g this , who ... they are going to be working with us on
it and I wou ld like to ask Randy , as representing the Chamber , to bring it forward lo the Chamber si nce this
pa rt icular facility serves a la rge po11ion of our business commun ity, our retail bu sines s community, and certainl y
th e Charr.oer has those people and could possibly write a letter in regard to that. Ano also , Jill , as a liaison to
the BID ? I will be in contact with the Englewood Housing ,uthority . Thi s is a post office that services directly
behind the Simon Cen ter, which is the cente r for sen iors; and Orc hard Place , which is a block and a half, two
blocks away , which is seniors and disabl ed people ; and Penn Terrace , which is a senior f~c ility over on
Pennsylvania an d 285 . So in addition to our business comm un ity , th is services a large portion of ou r peop le .
Not to mention that what would happen with ... what happe ns at the Broadway facility would all be moved over to
the main post office on Lehigh , which for Counc il Members that have been around awhile , kno w that they are
short on parking ; not on ly customer par ki ng but also emplo yee pa rkin g. Employee parking has been in the
streets . We have had , ove r the years , a number of res id1~nti al comp laints and pet itions that have come forward
regard ing that par kin g. Th is would ce rtainl y take a toll on that an d so I wou ld like to contact some people ,
com mun ity peo pl e, and let them know About that and get this informat ion in by January 15th lo th em to th e
postal department regarding our feel ings . No t lo mention that the building on Broadway is ... il is not a real old
building , I th ink In terms of time as far as bu il dings go ; however , it is a buildi ng that is ... something that has one
of our histonc ... il has a historic mura l on the inside Iha! goes bac k lo the post-depression . It is something that I
feel that a lot of community membera, when they know of th is , they treasure that building and I would hate to
see some th ing happen to it. I would hate lo see somebody come in , purchase that property and redevelop ii
and lose that building . We've lost to o many build ings in Englewoo d. So that 's my first item th ere .
(ii) Mayor Woodward sa id Randy I would like to comp liment you and the G;;,a,er
En glewood Chamber of Commerce on th e map that was in our packets . It's very impressive , what you 've done .
Council Member Penn said thank you . Ma yo r Woodward cont inued I think you 'v e said a number of these are
going ou t In the pa pe r
(iii) Mayor Woodwa, J sa id Shannon , with regard to ... not being able lo read th is whole thi ng
• real qu ick , I 1ust wan t to mention the one thing wi th regard to the pol ice officers . The Englewood School Dis trict
did part ici pate in th e funds for pay ,ng for the police offic ers for cal endar year 2009 . In fa ct, I toink it was in the
4th quarter that we received a check for $3 0,000 .00 . To the best of my knowledge , the y do go over to the

that there 1s thts underlymg piece of that Others on the other end said I ran't even beheve that you are talking
about 11 It offends me lJ even read 111n the newspaper that we have :o come up with some kind of plan So we
really need to hear our citizens speak this thrci L•IJh and help them with the fa ct of li fe that th is 1s now a State law

your perspective on the v1s1ons of the Ci ty, and tha t 1s gomg to take a little bit more time Some of us are new
