City Attorney DeWitt s:tated under section (c) subsec- tion (2), if the name and address is not on the sign, the party is in violation. If someone is putting up a sign without a name and address, it is also a violation.

Mr. Higday expressed concern about giving au- thority to another jurisdiction that he was unsure he wanted to give authority. Mr. Higday_ did not want another jurisdic- tion coming over into Englewood giving traffic tickets nor did he want the Englewood Police Department going over into another jurisdiction for the same. Council Member Bradshaw noted it was stated in the agreement that other jurisdictions would volunteerily aid and assist each other in the event of an unusal, major occurrence or emergency situation not on an everyday basis. City Attorney DeWitt stated there were nuances in the law where a law enforcement officer can give a ticket to someone on a boundary line whether it is actually in the com- munity or not and take the case to county court. Mr. DeWitt stated those nuances were not addressed in the agreement, Council Member Bilo stated he was voting in favor of the bill on the basis that he had to support any bill giving added protection to citizens. ( ( I' February 1, 1982 Page 11 Council Member Weist asked if the wording in para~ graph 7 (c) concerning holding harmless or indemnify had to be quite so broad. Mr. Weist expressed concern about the City picking up liabilities not under the City's control for possible outright gross negligence, City Attorney DeWitt stated this was wording that other jurisdictions had approved. Mr. DeWitt stated he would discuss it with Chief Holmes and ask the Chief to discuss it with the other members of the agreement to see if they would be agreeable to restricting the language.

Mr. McCown stated bids were received for the necessary equipment and kits to convert 90 vehicles to a dual system of fuel, utilizing compressed natural gas as an alternate fuel. Mr. Mccown stated the conversion concept has been studied for some ( time and a recommendation was made at the budget retreat to do this. Mr. Mccown stated the proposal is to buy the conversion kits as detailed in the Council Communication and put two tanks in each one of the vehicles. Mr. Mccown stated a line would be run from Public Service Company which is included in the cost to use compressed natural gas in the City's vehicles. Further, at the same time, the City will also be able to utilize regular fuel and cars will be equipped to operate on both compressed natural gas and regular fuel. Mr. Mccown stated the monies for this would come primarily from the Servicenter Fund. Mr. Mccown asked Council to recall that this was the first step in going towards a methane system, using methane produced out of the sewer plant for use in the City's vehicles. Mr. Mccown stated since that discussion, there has been some change in plans which will be fully presented to Council next Monday night in a joint session with the Littleton City Council when they review the operations of the sewer plant. Mr. Mccown stated one of the things that will be presented is the recommenda-'---/ : tion to use all of the methane gas produced by the sewer plant for running the generator and other equipment at the plant. Mr. Mccown stated the recommendation will show a greater benefit and savings in using the methane for the sewer plant rather than for City vehicles. ( February l, 1982 Page 15 At the request of Council, a representative of Advance Fuel Systems, Inc., Harold Finegold, 5586 South Emporia Circle, came forward to answer questions. Council Member Bradshaw asked what other cities had contracted with his company. Mr. Finegold answered his company had between 50 -60 municipalities all over the country using compressed natural gas. The cities were converting due to the fact that compressed natural gas was about 35¢ a gallon and regular fuel was $1.20. Council Member Neal noted conversion of the cars was not a part of the contract. City Manager Mccown stated conversion would be done in-house. Council Member Fitzpatrick asked if the kits could be used on any other vehicles. Mr. Finegold answered they could. The equipment could be removed 'and incorporated on other vehicles. Mr. Finegold stated there was no cost for the adapter kit as the same kit can be used on different motors. Council Member Higday asked if the project was cost effi- cient in the long run given the unknown price of natural gas. Mr. Finegold stated the price of natural gas was regu- lated until 1985. If deregulation comes about and the price is doubled, it still would be cheaper than regular fuel. Council Member Bilo asked the City Manager what was the pay back time on this project, City Manager Mccown stated this particular feature was about three years; and if the City went to methane it would be about six years. Council Member Neal noted compressed natural. gas would burn cleaner. City Manager Mccown· stated there was a ·power loss; and the City may have to go a larger, more powerful-sized car, for example for the Police Department. COUNCIL MEMBER NEAL MOVED TO AWARD THE LOW BID TO AD- VANCE FUEL SYSTEMS, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $162,132.50 AND TO AU- THORIZE TOTAL EXPENDITURE FOR THE PROJECT AT $190,000. Council Member Bilo seconded the motion. February 1, 1982 Page 16 Council Member Neal requested that a substantial amount of money for this project come out of the year-end surplus and some of it from the Servicenter Fund.

Mr. Wanush stated even though funds are allocated in the 1982 budget some of the train- ing is done out-of-state and Council's approval is required, COUNCIL MEMBER HIGDAY MOVED TO ACCEPT THE FIRE AND POLICE TRAINING PROPOSAL. Council Member Bradshaw seconded the motion. Upon a call of the roll, the vote resulted as follows: Ayes: Nays: Council Members Higday, Neal, Fitzpatrick, Weist, Bilo, Bradshaw, Otis. None. The Mayor declared the motion carried. * * * * * * City Manager Mccown asked Council if the information he submitted concerning the photo I.D. system for Parks & Re- creation was adequate enough to proceed. Mr. Mccown stated the Police Department and the Library have expressed an interest in a similar system. COUNCIL MEMBER BRADSHAW MOVED TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO PROCEED ON THE PHOTO I.D, SYSTEM FOR PARKS & RECREATION. Coun- cil Member Bilo seconded the motion. Council Member Neal opposed the motion. Mr. Neal stated he felt the concept of this system had changed from what he thought was the original intent. ( I I \ ...

Council Member Bilo opposed to having an alternate member of the Urban Housing Authority since there . were no al- ternates on other boards and commissions. Council Member Fitzpatrick stated the purpose of an alternate member was advantageous to this board in that it eli- minated repeating information to replacement members. City Attorney DeWitt stated he was unsure Council was voting on right membership of the Parks & Recreation Commission based on its composition. Council Member Bradshaw withdrew her amendment to the Mayor's recommendations. COUNCIL MEMBER FITZPATRICK MOVED TO APPROVE THE AP- POINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AS RECOMMENDED BY MAYOR OTIS.

Mayor Otis recalled last year Judge Parkinson suggested a commission be established for the primary purpose of the administrative review of the Court with a view of improving the relationship and communication between the Court and the City. Mayor Otis stated as a result Council established the Judiciary Administrative Review Commission, Mayor Otis stated the memoran- dum from the Judge states several things about the Commission with which he is dissatified. Mayor Otis stated the Judge requests that the Commission's title be changed. Mayor Otis stated even though the duties of the Commission would remain the same, he recommended changing the title to either Citizens or Court Ad- visory Commission. Mayor Otis stated the Judge would like to expand the Commission's role beyond what was outlined in the resolution creating the Commission as well as increase the num- ber of its members. Mayor Otis recommended not to broaden the role at this time and allow the Commission to complete those tasks set forth in the resolution before adding any more. As far as the number, Mayor Otis stated it would lead to an unruly situation, and when the members were being. selected 14 to 15 letters .were sent out including those citizens the Judge suggested that Council contact. Mayor Otis stated Council only considered four appointments, those who responded; and several of the people that the Judge recommended did not respond or indicated they did February 1, 1982 Page 20 not want to serve. Mayor Otis recommended not increasing the membership of the Commission at this time. Mayor Otis stated the Judge expressed concern that the Director of Finance had been designated as the Executive Director of the Commission. Mayor Otis stated he explained to· the Judge that the des igna- tion in and of itself does not in any way infringe on the principle of independence of the judiciary and separation of powers. Mayor Otis stated the Director of Finance was primarily a resource per- son there to provide input for the City, update information, pro- vide supplies, set up meeting rooms, etc. Mayor Otis stated the title could be changed and recommended because the Commission ·will probably elect a chairman, the Director of Finance could be referred to as .ex officio. Mayor. Otis stated the Judge will not allow the Court Administrator to serve as recording secretary. Mayor Otis stated the same argument applies here as for the Di- rector of Finance, and recommended the Court Administrator's title be changed to ex officio.
