Englewood City Council Oct ober 5, 2009 Pago 2 6 Rocognll' Jn ol Scheduled Public Comment Thoro were no scheduled v1s11ors Recogni tion of Unschod ulod Public Commo n! (8) Daryl Estes. a Denver resident, said I am here this evening lo discuss w,th Council and staff May 25, 2007, the City of Englewood nearly bankrJpt. the e<t1zens And the concern I have , you know, at that time and
as well as before, 1s we don·t have enough money to not be frugal w,th IL I don't wish to as far to get too involved
with some of my concerns but I think. you know, with lhe mural that was on lhe front page ol Denver and the West,
and lhe City of Englewood with the issue there I think everybody is feeling somewhat familiar wi1h thal And then
as far as I admrt putting on Council Request 1n regards to lhe amount of money that had been spent and lhe
amount or time on regards to dogs I hadn't recer,ed anv call back from the Counci Request 1t was multiple
Council Requests that I put in and JUSI this evening I talked with Frank a fillle b.t and he got kind or a chuckle out or
It, well you know, 11 ,s senous It truly IS We can't be spending bme and money when obV10Usty I haven't seen
anything different than the City or Englewood nearty bankrupt I pnnted this up eart,er this evening down at the
library downstairs and I would hke to share th,s information, It Is Just a concern that I have tnat this Counctl and
staff that I think there is a problem that is brewing and we need to address tt It Is going lo be some hard
d~lslons that the Council has to make , but I th,o~ you guys know where I'm at Tha nk you
Mayor Woodward sa id thank you.
{b) Miguel Drake, an Englewood resident. said I would just hke to thank the Council members for
•
making themselves available and Joe Jefferson for dotng a publte meeting ... that was very helpful for me I would
ltke to that • lhe City for the efforts ,t ,s going through rlghl now balancing its budget and dealing with the hard hmes •
that we are dealing with II is hard and I would really hke 10 applaud you guys for working on the effort to make our
City livable w1lhout a cut in services through, you know, cutting back lhrough attrillon, through unnecessary
1lems but without senously cutting onto lhe ablity of the City to provtde the amentlles IOf which It has become
known, you know, within the State This Is an excellent, excellent City we live III ar.d we live on rt, because of lhe
response of responsible and really caring efforts of our govemmenl I nnd ti a hltle bit dtsconcert,ng that there are
many people who seem to attack rt simply because 111s a govemroont And I find the tone of the rhetorte I've been
hearing recenUy to be, you know, offensive at the most and at the very least, d1stract,ng from the fundamental
Issues of governance I'm really 1usl here to say thanks guys You are doing a great job and I really app<eclale 11
and your staffs are doin g a good Job And I hve here for a reason I am going to keep hvlng here for a reason. I
li ve he•, because we have a good Council, oecause we have a good government, because people we entrust with
that do a good job So, thank you and have a good evening
Mayor Woodward said thank you
(c) Doug Cohn, an Englewood resident, said good evening I have a couple of things on my m,nd
tonight I mentooned two weeks ago that the Patade or Lights guys might be 1nlerested in having the Cherrelyn
trolley I sent the a~:,lteation to Randy and Leigh Ann tnose were the only emails that I had so I guess, I'm not
sure what happens with rt at this potnt The deadline for submitting the applr:abon is next Monday If you all thmk
yoL• would lil<e lo have the trolley ,n the Parade of Lights, lhat would be a real good bme to put K together The
second thing , out on front or the post otttee on Floyd and Broadway, I met with a fellow who was nd1ng on a
wheeleha,r and there 1s a problem with the where the as.phalt meets the concrete nght on the curb cut, lhe asphalt
ls About an Inch taller and himself and some other people have golten stuck as they have n!n their wheelcha11s
down In the curb cul there . And they are feehng very exposed being nght beside the cars I guess I am
wondering If someone has a roller or however you kind of fiatten out asphalt if we could do something with that
Then just one other point. the sign code thing. I think It Is a good start t haven't seen the notes or what all ls going
to be going on tonight It doesn't seem to be published anywhere I guess I am a little discouraged Since our last
meeting, the public meeting and the Study Sessions, I hawe golten feedback from some busines ses who are •
leaving town They ,re say1n'g that the last minute enforcement that Is going on right now 1s gomg lo they are
discouraged enough that they are going tc pull up stakes They are gomg to move somewhere where they are
,nv,ted I talked with one fellow who 1s a commercial leasing agent and he ,s talking folks out of 1f they want to be
on Broadway he ,s lalkmg them oul of com,ng to Englewood because of 1he problem that we have w1lh trns We
• Englewood City Council October 5, 2009 Page 3 need to make some big changes with it. The sign code moratonum Is a t,,t of a step. I thmk we need to do a whole lot mo,e There needs to be, I think, In a City a .. I guess you would call it a critical mass where you have enough businesses that will attra<:t customers And I am womed that we are tosmg more of our base people I want to throw that out there as a problem . Anyway, thank you. Mayor Woodward said thank you.

you do not applaud Individual speakers We want lo hear your Input. While we understand tha t the Issues, and

facts and want lo come to a clear and Just conclusion. A respectful presenlalion wUI help us do that Please Nmtt

• Tern Moore will be the timekeeper At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, Council may have some comments:
however, no decisions will be made tonight A discussion and vole will come forward at our next scheduled
mee ting on Monday, October 19".
Allee Hanna, an Englewood resident, said I'm not a stranger to the off-leash Issue as I've ueen deeply Involved fo r
the past seven years I know a lot of you , well, all of you for your term have been lnv•,lyed In this, but I know Mr.
Moore and Mr Woodward have been on Council for qu,te a long bme. I've been dealing with this issue through
either Counc,I or Parks and Rec Commission, etc. and I Just want to thank an of you for your paltence over the
years 1n going through this year after year I think that last summer was the one summer that we didn't have to talk
about 1"15, so unfortunately we are back here again. But I did Just want to kind of add a dilferenl viewpoint this time
than what I said over the years. This year Is a little bit different for me because I do have a 2 year old son . I Just
wanted to kind of express some points on having both dogs and a family. Overa ll, by limiting off-leash hours t,:,
6·00 am to 9 00 am and 7·30 pm to 11 00 pm during the March lo October Umeframes, you will be ellmlnatlng
another group of park users from the park. Those of us who have both dogs and young children. tJy son Is 2 years
old and starts getting ready for bed at 7 30 pm and is asleep by 8:30 pm, which Is typical for you1,g children. Wrth
these summer hours , we w11 not be able to go to Jason Park as a family except for the times where we might
actually be up and ready 10 race out the door on a weekend to make the 9 am cutoff, which is very unhkely In my
household, From March until May and in October, It Is too cold to go to the park with young children at 9 am, so
realistically are limited to June through mid September lo be able to spend an hour or so with our dog and our son
together on the weekend. Limiting hours will essentially have our family split between going al different times to
one park with our son to play and another park with our dogs to exercise. where now as we often go to Jason as a
family with one parent on the playground for lhe son and th~ other parent watch,ng the dogs play on the other side
away from the playground. With the lomtted amount of free Gme we already have as worlong parents. this wil
restnct our hfestyles greatly. Those parents who have children, but not like going to a playground w,th off-leash
dogs could go one or two blocks south to Rotolo Park and I don·t feel that It would Impact them as greatly as It
would for the people who try to use the park for both their dogs and their children al the same lime. During lhe
•
winter, very few people use Jason Park except for the people exercising their dogs. II ls usually loo cold for the
kids to play and picnics are generally not seen dunng the winter months. With the limited activities at Jason In the
winier, there really ,s no need to have any limited hours In the winter If hours are hmlted, you may also see an
Increase on goose poop, smce thP dogs have kepi them out dunng lh.l winter m.>nths. Regardlesr of what the
hours are, d any, Counctl 1s still not resolving the Issue of enforcemenl By hmibng hours the City win now have to
actively patrol the park during non off-leash hours to enforce the off-leash hours, which are also for tht most part at
Englewood City Councll October 5, 2009 Page 6 the limes when COde Enforcement ,s off duty For years. EngiewOOd Unleashed has been ask,ng for inc,eased patrolling ol lhe parks or Just having Code Enf0tcement show up now and then to be seen and to ta lk to all park users about au tha ,ules Including noo-dog people We have also asked f0t add1bonal larger s,gnage so that au park users will know the rules of the park I truly think these measures will be m0te stx:cessful than hmtt1ng hours at the park Thank you for your time. Mayor Woodward said thank you
Jean Alspector. a Littleton resident, said good evening Mayor and City Cou:,c,J TOday I would like to speak lo you
as Jean Alspector and not a member of Englewood Unleashed. I would like my thoughts to be expressed as my
thoughts and not, as a,galn, as a member of Englewood Unleashed. I would like io remind City Council tlus Issue
started as a mother requesting help to protect her children . If you could remember back when this started , I cook!
understand her tears and wanted to see how I could help I would like to know how we got so far away lrom the
original problem How did keeping the dogs out ol people areas at Jason Park tum into unilaterally clos1119 foor
parks to off-leash privileges? I can't see what I missed In this I go to these parlls regularly. I go to some or these
parks sometJmes There IS no one there. I don1 lmowwhywe have hours. I don't let my 10 pound dog off the
leash. I don't usually freque nt all these parks . I live in Littleton but I do go to Englewood l0t the beauty shop, the
doct0ts. volunteer work. physical therapy, Safeway and their gas, post offices, parks clean-up meetings, Malley
Center actlv,Ues. massa,ges, Council meebngs and restaurants hlle the South, Denny's, IHOP. Jasmines. Le Peeps
aod yes. Starbucks, I wonder if Tracy and her children, also non-E nglewood residents, spend as much time In
Englewood as I do. Wi8 Tracy step up to the plale and f1equen1 the places I did in Engle'NOOd ... when I stay In
Littleton and boycott the Englewood businesses and encourage all my dog fnendly neighbors to do the same. I
hope when I check Jason Park fr0tn 10 to 4 on weekdays I will find Tracy and her children there or Martha and her
•
friends In the shelter My lav0table impression of how tar Englewood has gone ... has Just gone down the lubes I •
think the line has lo be drawn right here. Thank you.
Mayor Wooct.iard said thank you.
JOdi Litchfield, an Englewood resldent, said good evening Council members, Mayor, City Manager, thanks for
hearing everybody tonight I know this has been a hard issue for everyone. I am here, I could speak on either side
of this Issue, but I just want lo say I have lived backed up to Jason Park for 25 plus years. And I think a
compromise Is nut a bad Idea. I don't know what the hours should be. but I thonk a compromise Is not a bad Idea I
can Identify, as I said. with both sides of the issue. I curre ntly have a dog that loves to go to Jason Park, that needs
the exercise and loves to ,un around and so it Is great lo have the off-leash area to do thal with her, I would also
like to say that my experience of seeing people at Jason Park In 25 years is that people do use the park year round
Young families use lhe park whenever the ,vealher is mild enough and we typically have mild enoug h winters here
that people can go there every day, or pretty close to every day. I think that young families with smal kids that are
not school age do like to go during the day, during the school hours when the school age kids are at school, so that
they are not being bothered by the older kids or ,un over by the older kids So, you know, I guess I j ust want to say
that I can see both sides of the ,ssue. I have lived there for a long time . I've not really experienced many problems
with the off-leash, other than when my kids were In soccer and T-ball, there often were loose dogs ,unning around.
So. I woold like lo see them not be running around during those hours, I guess. but beyond that. I just think having
some kind ol c0tnpromise is a good Idea . I would hal e to see II go away completely . I guess that's ll Thank you.
Mayor Woodward said thank yoo
Dan Lair, an Englewood resident. satd I too believe that compromise on this issue ls Important and I would like to
applaud your efforts, from my understanding, dealing with this for quite a long time and your •v,lhngness to Nsten to
both sides And I understa 'd your frustration in having to deal with this Issue when, as one of the speakers said
e3rfier on an unrelaled Issue, It 1s sort of unfortunate that tru, Issue of dogs has to come up over and over again,
particularly rn troubling economic limes . Bui I would hke to begin by reframing this issue of compr0tnlse for just a •
second, to suggest 10 you that a compr0tnlse already ex,sts within the status quo. Alice Hanna alluded to this
earlier. but I want lo build on her pcml Just a little bit Lei me read to you from the EnglewoOd 's Parks and Rec

Centennial and Duncan No smgle dog owner that I have seen and I bet that in the history of your deahng with this controversy . has ever suggesled to you expanding off-leash pnvileges to lhese other parks I believe In compromise I believe lhat !here should be more parks In the Clly of Englewood that are available for
families with children. who don'I want to expose their children to dogs or peop le who don't wanl to be around dogs
off-leash, compromise already exists Who Is In the spin! ol comprormse when one side is asking to restrict options
and the other side ,s asking to SJmply lo preserve their options The compromise exists now But I understand that
there may be a need for compromise fuMer and I !honk dog owners are wiH,ng to do Iha~ but lhey ate only going lo
be w,lllng to do lhal and let this issue go away, ~ the comprom,se Is reasonable So let's look at this Issue of the
hours comprom ised as ,s proposed . These hours completely do nol bear out with the patterns of park usage.
Myself. I typically use the park between 5 and 7 o'clock depending on when I get home from work and before I cook
dinner. Over the past couple of weeks, I just started thinking about who Is using lhe park when I was there. And
f0< exa,nple, on September 24., 1 was there from between 5 and 6 pm and at one point when I counted. there were
14 people w,th 16 dogs and preasely nobody without dogs in the park. Three days later at about 6 30, there were
12 people with 15 dogs and 6 people With 5 kids A couple of days after that , al 6 o'clock there were 10 people with
11 dogs and three leenagers playing on the playground. I drive by Jason Park almost every day on my way home
from work and when I drive by, typ ically, there Is a dog owner present Very oflen !here are more dog owners than
there are people using the park for other reasons and often , there would be nobody in the park d It wasn't for the
dogs So, in the sp1ril of compromise, I would suggest lo you !hat you make a compromise that Is reasonable. The
comprom,se as proposed is not reasonable It does noI beai oul the pattern or usage In the parll and please lel the
people use lhe park The people who ovefWhelmingly use these parks, which are a fraction or the total parks
• available for the Coty of Englewood, are people thal are dog owners . Others use the park as well, but lhere is no
doubt about that. But there Is a compromise lhal exists already. If not, figure out hours that work. One suggestion
that I might have to you Is to spend some more lime lo sludy to the Issue Talk lo local unlverslhes, I bet you would
find some professor who teaches parks and rec,eation who would love for their studenls, as a class proj~ to
come and actualy do a sclenI1fic slUdy that documents park usage ,so that you could make a compromise that Is
based upon how people aclually use our parks. You have got lo gel this compromi se right If you don't, the issue
is not go,ng to go away The compromise as Is proposed now, will not silence the issue. I can speak for myself
and I'm betting for many olher dog owne rs, that we will be here bothering you lime and time again, humbly and
apologetically, but saying, ple ase let me use Just a couple of the parks at a lime that works for 111<!, at a tome when ,1
works for other people. at a time that i s borne oul by the pattems of usage that people in the park actually use.
Don't shut down the park and empty them oul at 5 o'clock on most of our business days. ll won't work. It doesn't
represent a compromose and we have already got a compromose In lhe system as 11 is now Thank you very much
for your time
Mayor Woodward said Ihank you .
0antelle DelaMare, an Englewood residen~ said I am a grad student I'm working on my PHO and I'm working on
my d1sser1alion aR the lime, Wilting, wntong , wnbng. reading, w11t1ng, writing , reading and my l1tlle dog patiently sits
there and waits for me every day to lake her lo Jason Park And so every day, I take her to lhe park and I honestly
don't know what I would do without the park I need the park for my own social outlet. I need the park to visit with
other dog owners and she needs the park so she can gel the exercise and so that she can, you know, hang oul
with the other dogs II ls really, really important for us to keep Jason Park an off-leash park. And I have lo say, I
hale the hours I go during the day. I go when I need a break from a~ the work Iha! I'm doing. And l'U walk around,
111 run a,ound With the dog You know, we win run aiound in cucies And very rarely wllen I go during the day, ate
there non-dog owners very rarely. There are tomes when I win go in there and there isn't anybody else That
doesn't happen a tot, bul most of the time, you know, there are few other people there and !hose people that are
•
there, are other dog owners, al least during lhe times I go Like I said, it is during the day, it is weekdays ... ! don't
see other people who are nol dog owners. And I have to say, there ,s Just one litlle story I have I once met a man,
and I don't know ii he ,s here, he told me he would be here, an 88 year old man who comes to Jason Park very
frequently and he WIii sll ,n hos true!< often 11 somebody moves the pict11c table over for him, he win sll on the picn,c
table so he doesn t have to walk very far from his car And one day I was talking to him and he said that he goes
there to watch lhe dogs play He has such a gooo lime watching them play His wife just died and he reany just
Englewood City Council October 5, 2009 Page 8 wanls a place to connecl with olher people ThOse are lh1ngs Iha! I wan! you lo know And again, honestly. I don'! know what us dog owners would do without Jason Park Thank you Mayor Woodward said thank you Jil laP,er, an Englewood resodenl said I am here to talk about lhe park of course, but one thing I want lo bring up Is I seem to be the star of You Tube and ahhough I am not the leas! bit happy of 11, 11 was done very decep~ve The
video was edited It Is not accurate Martha was the speaker so Martha has to be behind lh,s video_ And so
1herefore, I can no lo nger trust Martha's words I dvn't know where she got all her backup from the hearings that
she has gotten, but knowing what she has done to me and how decephve that video is, I know I cannol and will not
ever trust Martha As far as the hours go, I need to tell you that lhe hOurs are going to be very hard on some of us
like last mght, I was asleep at 8 o'clock. so lhese hours are going to be reaay hard for me, as well as many others
And also lhe lighting al lhe park Is so bad. They only have pretty much one tghl that d I'm there and I'm single, so
I'm alone If we only have one hght, II is going to be real hard lo walk around the park after dark with no I,ght
because we have hea rd of females being chased or, you know, stalked al the pa rk, so that really does bother me .
Also, II we are walking our dogs In the park hke that at night In the dark, we are not going to be able really see
where to pick things up and that is going to be bigger problem for Martha and her friends So, f would hke to Just
keep the park clean and be able to see what we are dorng. So. 1f we do have to have late hours such as lhal we
are going to need to talk about lighting next And that is an I have to say Thank you
Mayor Woodward said thank you

Matthew Crabtree, an Englewood restdenl said good evening Wen we are In the middle of an econom1e recession
and I know Daryl talked about this so I'll just be quick. We are looking at a shortfall in the budget this year that
eMeeeds 3 million dollars . We have a projected shortfall that exceeds 1 million dollars for next year. We got an •
economic development disaster going on at Broadway We've got businesses moving oul lelt and righl and here
we are again talking about dogs It gives us a common thread though that Is being discussed here and I am going
to take a little bit different approach on IL Tots 1,me lhing and l'U can this a do nothing approach to lhe soluloo. I
don'I see any possible way that this can be enforced. It is going lo be a problem again II is going to be before
Council We are going to be spending more lime on this. Th is Council has spent more time talking about dogs the
last few years than the y have talked about lhe budget or talked about encouraging businesses in lhls community
Th,s 1s a problem And one 1hIng that hasn't been d,scossed tonight Is !here Is a dog park The Canine Cooal Is a
dog park This park was designed for dogs at a considerable expense to the Crty of Englewood .. wel 11ter
$200,000 00. There Is a problem with that park apparently because people aren't usrng IL People are uSJng the
parks, Jason Park, Centennial Park ... these parks. If there wasn't a problem, lhen this wouldn't be a problem But I
guess If there is a problem with that park, let's fix It so that these park s, Jason Park, Ce·nlennlal Park, can be
equally used by everybody I envision these parks, well hopefully the way that they were originally provided for the
people of Englewood, as a promise and a replacement for the main City Park when Cinderella City as buut These
parks are for everybody in this community and should be equally used We Shouldn't be segregating one side to
another sKje, you can use this park, you can't use this park, because there are people who live near Jason Park
that I've talked to specifically that can't use this park. that don't feel comfortable around the dogs. And I feel their
rights are being violated. Now there are rights for the dog owners, sure, I totally agree with that but they can still
take !heir dogs there on laash There Is Camne Corral which is designed for an off-leash park If there Is a problem
with that, lel's find out what the prOblem ,sand ra,se lhe money We don1 have the money ,n lhe budge! right now.
but let's raise the money through some way I mean, Englewood Unleashed is greal al raIsIng funds. let's raise
some money, fix the problem at the dog park, then they've 901 somewhere 10 go. They can do !heir socla llzIn9
there If there ,s a need for another dog park after that, raise more money. There Is obviously an Interest here,
otherwise these people wouldn't be here. But let's stop talking about this during City Council meetings Let's start
talking about the three businesses that we JUSt lost on Broadway and starl talking about fixing the budget Thank
you
Mayor Woodward said thank you •
Cassy Allen said t am k1rtd of a rebel rouser so sl,ck with me lei's remember some lustory together After
September 11" a group of m1htant m,htary, c,v,han and pohtleal pundits wenl to our presKfenl and ms,sled that there
were weapons of mass destruction ,n Iraq We must start a war We must stop these weapons of mass
• Englewood City Council October 5, 2009 Pago 9 destrucllon, so !hey don'! rear their ugly heads again, so we did And we know now there were no weapons or mass destrucllon, but we had bad, seR-servuig r1telltgence Where 1s she going? There are no weapons of mass destruc110n In Englewood's parks How did we get here ,nto ttus conflict? First a small seR-serv,ng number or people succeeded In convincing you, c,1y Council, lhal these weapons of mass destruction exist... dogs are running rampant, !hey are pooping everywhere, children are being lhrealened .. by using manipulated video, conjured stahsllCS and false Jhreats. They succeeded In convincing City Council thal these weapons of mass destrucllon must be stopped Next, the City Counctl simply abdicated ijs )Ob by defemng to Patks and Rec ,n order lo avoid
hav,ng to take a stand. Some of you .. In oppos1t1on to the very plalforms lhal you ran on . Why? So you can, when
questioned In a poltOcal climate, say thal this compromise was supported by all the parties Involved by Ignoring
your own data from law enforcement, Code Enforcement. and the Patks Department, you still choose to believe
that the weapons of mass destrucllOn exist So we have false lntenigence and an unwfningness to lake a hot
political stand. Next, the very group with whom the City Council, and all other departments in the City have been
cooperating, was presented with a choice a compromise. Why a compromise? We don't have a problem Being
forced as a group, Englewood Unleashed, lo come before this Counci with our pitiful hals 111 our hands, begg1119 for
your crumbs, is indefensible Either we stand for these off-leash patks or we cave lo bad ,ntelllgence and ~ City
Council wants lo wash their hands or a politica l issue and we become Englewood Unlea shed between 7 and 9 am.
We are nol convinced lhese weapons of mass destruction ex,st and we don't understand why you never queshoned
the ong,nal complaints There are no weapons of mass destruct,on We have nothing to compromise or apologize
for and we wan! the parks to remain leash free. Thank you.
Mayor Woodward said thank you
Justin Farber, a Denver resident, said I am a frequent user of the dog park. I go there three or four times a week . I
really look foiward to bringing my dog there There Is a whole dog culture there that will be destroyed with these
• proposed hours. Pretty much, they are just going to be defacto and the dogs . I mean, who is going to go there
that late. I agree With the one who also spoke before me . with there realty tS no problem I dnve by patks al over
the timing and the dog people go there lhe most That the other side is so upset with this issue, only suggests how
much dog owners are actually using these parks I agree also that It Is just a compromise I feel like lhat
there we are Ingrained in our society to make compromises and be fair That is not how to decide this Issue The
best way lo decode lhis issue Is the best use of public resources and I th111k everyone speaking before me speaks
for ,1sell. Almost everyone here Is for dogs. We want these for dogs. If you guys propose these hours or really
make any changes, you are going to be destroying public good just to say that !here was a compromise. It won't be
doing anything better for society or for lhe area There are all the other dog parks I drive 15 to 20 minutes In traffic
lo go to Jason Palk Canine Corral is too far for me The fact that I am w,ll1119 to drive thtS far to go to a dog parlc
there and back after work suggests how much I enjoy going there and how much it means to me. If the other
people wanted a park so bad, they would spend the 5 to 10 minutes to go to the ten other parks that were listed.
So, I just don~ see there is a problem and I think they just...the other side wants a cause. They JUSI want to
make something up I don'! really know what their deal ,s. But often times I go there and there are people playing
soccer ,n the background and the dogs don't even bother them. It is a multl,use patk , We can't appease
everybody jusl because they are afraid of dogs. I mean, people are going to be afraid <·I things and thal Is part or
hie They should leam to get over ,t and socialize In these dog parks to help people lean• lo gel along with dogs
and you kids can come there and not have these fears. So, that IS an I have 10 say
Mayor Woodward said thank you
Ryan Kramer. an Englewood residenl, said I use lhe patk probably hl(e three blr.'!s? WcC~ wanl to talk about
th ings lhat I see, things lhal are good about the pa rk. I have never seen an aggressive dog al lhe p.;rk, not once.
I've seen many or you at the park, utilizing the park, enjoying the patk, exercising the dogs and it lo a g1ea1 &OCial
outlet for an of us We educate each other's dogs We educate each other And tt IS realty a shanng place for
community One thong that I don't see at the patk, I've never seen more than four partJes with children in the
•
playground, but I've seen up lo 16 parties wilh dogs , So, the use is definitely more for the dogs and for the people
who are ullhzing ii The ability for us to exercise our dogs decreases anxiety within our dogs. II socializes our dogs
and 11 creates a calmer srtuation for our dogs It rs go,ng to reduce aggress,on 111 our dogs And I th111k a lot of us
use the parks to avoid that aggression and we have the opportun,1y with Jason Palk al any time or the day lo use
that park I am nol able lo use lhe park after 7"30 By 7:30 tonight, it was too dark to r,nd the ball , to throw the ball,
to play with lhe dog So, then by 8 30, 11 is go,ng to be loo dark 10 find the dog (There was laughter) And I do
Englewood City Council October 5, 2009 Page 10 agree that by 7 30 or 8 o'clock, we are nol going to find the poopIes e11her So, we do need the park We do ul1ilze the parlt. our dogs need to Uhh2e the parl< It does offer us community within our commumty and I think that is really ,mponant Something thal someone else addressed was the fear And when we make considera!JOIIS for small groups of people who are m fear, we end up l1mit1ng the people who are utilizing, en1oyIng and taking lhe opportunity to grow in our communities Thank you Mayor Woodward said thank you~ • Colleen McManus, an Englewood reslden~ said Honorable Mayor, City Council thank you for llslening I have two
letters thal came from Englewood residents Keely Sugden and Jennifer Enger who could nol be ~ere today and
asked me to present them to you They are both against the suggested hours that the City Council nas proposed
She subm itted lhe leUers to Council. Ms. McManus said firs! I want to touch on a point that Matlhew Crabtree
staled about having Canine Corral as a dog park One or the reasons that Canine Corral was treated was to help
move dogs from Jason and other multi-use parl<s. with the understanding that 11 would m,tlgale pa1k usage which ii
lotany has, but we don't feel, or I don't feel, lhal Canine Corral could handle aD of the dog park users ff we were J\lSI
limi led lo just Can,ne Corral It is just a point to make I also wanted to say on the record that I agree with Alice,
Jean. Jodi, Dan, Danielle, JIii, Cassy, Juslln and Ryan ... all of what they said. They brought greal information to
you all and I hope you really lake it Into considerallon. I also wanted to just note a couple polenbal rarruflcallons to
think about, that we included a list of ,n the packet that Englewood Unleashed prnsenled lo you last week and just
of lhlngs that we have done loday, but some of them are: setting hours will become a bigg~r Issue, complaints wil l
arise from the dog owners, which are lhe majority now, ralher than the minimal opposition complaints that you are
currently are receiving. II is not safe, especially for the handtcapped and the elderly and !amities with smaU children
and dogs to be limited to suggested hours, due to the dark and cold temperatures Limited hours will add parl<
maintenance lo the City, Including garbage cleanup because we will ~e I just don't foresee brunches and park
cleanups coming from Englewood Unleashed any more if we do have the limtted suggested hours. And then with •
more rules, Code Enforcement will need to be Increased, h:iwever, they are already over ex1ended and find ~ hard
to even find time to monttor the parl<s today. So, that is my IWo cents, I guess Thank you for all your bme and
effort through lhls Issue. I am so ex lended and taxed because of II and as I am sure you all are loo. And I am
really looking forward to a decision being made Than k you
Mayor Woodward said thank you
Dana Foulks, an Englewood residen~ said good evening Council. What I have tonight is kind of a philosophy lype
of speeeh At a high level, I believe this comes down to the difference between exclusive and Inclusive The
United States has always had internal battles aboul one part of our society excluding other parts Though these
struggles continue, America is gelling better al Inclusiveness every day. I don't understand why we want to go from
parl<s that a1e used by alt, to parl<s thal exclude a certain type of people It ,s not understandab!e why some people
want lo stt at home and be happy with the knowledge that a publoc park designed to be inclusive ,s free from people
who wanl to en1oy the park wIlh their dog Do they nol realize this means there will be many hours every day when
the parl< will not be occupied? In other words, certain hours sel aside by dog owners means !here will be times
when the park 1s Just a laJge vacant lol because no one win be there So I ask the City Council and the people on
attendance. do we want to be considered exclusive o, 1nduslve? Should a parl< labeled public be open to the
publlc at certain limes or wo,se yel. closed lo them? I would like to close with th,s quote. "whal takes real skill,
,ntelllgence and delerm1na11on and results In a better place for everyone to live is the ability to lead by inclusion. to
111volve everyone and to harness the benefits of dovers1ty • That is from a member of the parllamenl of New
Zealand Thank you
Mayo, Woodward said lhank you
Barb Silverman, an Englewood resident, said thank you Coty Council and Honorable Mayor I have used Ja.on
Park quite a bll over the past few years and I have some major health problems thal limit some places thal I Clln go. •
I really appreciate the comments by most of lhe people who have come before me Allison and Danielle especially
I think lhal and also the gentleman who just spol<e before me .. Dana that we shouldn't be excluded from an
area and given time prov1s10ns lhal are next to 1mpossIble I work nights My hours are 6m11ed and really weird
from whe n I can go lo the parks I have never run into a viscous dog al lhese parks, but I understand how lhat
could happen and where lhese complalnls could possibly come from One day I was al Jason Park and a bunch of
• Englewood City Council October 5, 2009 Page 11 kids ran out or the playground, over and up to my dogs without any idea how to approactl the animals Luckily the dogs I had were very lod savvy and went nght to them If they would have run up to a different dog than the dog I have now, that I have Just gotten who 1s a rescue dog and I am working very hard with to soclahze properly, that would have scared that dog. He would have backed up, barked and probably scared the kids He wouldn't have attacked them, he would run , but he would have been in a posture that woold not have been nice . It could have been a dog that didn't know dogs either, but because he had barked and golten a little bit rorward and then he would not have run off But somebody would have assumed that that dog could possibly have bitten someone At
this point, I am working with this animal because he 1s not soc,ahzed Jason Park is a wonderful place where we
can go and socialize our animals and have social activity with peop le who are in to what we are Into. And I do not
feel we should be excluded lrom that by lime limitations. I reel that there ... II It has to become compromised, then
yes, put better signs up I believe Englewood Unleashed and people invollled with that the people that go and use
tt aQ the time, are doing everything they can to police other (log people that maybe just come by and say, oh, I'm
Just going to let my dogs out for the big run. And yoo know ... they don't pick up after themselves. I go and pick up
r0< them after them . I carry extra bags, I hand out extra bags. If I get in there and I don·t have one, I say to
someone else, could I please have an extra bag, I forgot my baggies today. But usually I have way more than
expected and I fill boxes and things hke that with baggies. I believe that you know, we stand up and want to .. we
have to police our own I have a couple or Dachshunds One dog may poop and I may not see the other one. I
would hope that II someone did, they would tel me and I would be happy to pick It up or ii I missed ii, someone
would be like I do, I pick up piles when I see them. And I think we do a ver1 good job of that Again ii is a way
higher percentage of parks that don't have an area where we can have them unleashed . And the Corral Is a nice
place. There Is not room there. II is not as nice ground to run your dogs on. I have one that Is very crippled up
and It Is harder for him on the rocks and hard areas al the Canine Corral. So I Just really feel that you are bmillng a
lot and that Is sometnlng that I have enjoyed about living in the City of Englewood that we do have off-leash parks
•
and a place that we can go and work with our animals. And In training my own animals, the socialization 1s huge
there. And I really don't want to see our hours limited. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. I
think that It needs to be taken care of so they do not have to pay attention to this matter, becaase it would cost a lot
more to patrol these new hours.
Mayor Woodward said thank you
Klm Carhle, an Englewood resident, said good evening gentiemen. I must say that this Is my Orsi City Council
meeting that I have ever been to and I hope this ts my lasl..no offense. Something has got to be better than
dogs •.• but I am ror the dog parks I get up at 4·30 In the morning, I get rer.dy, and I'm at work by 6. I WOik 11
hOurs I come heme and as soon as I gel home I take my dog to the park Then I go home, take care of business
and go :o bed. So these hours do not work. I mean, I've gone down to the Canine Corral. I have been In there
when there has been 100 dogs In there and I have counted 100 dogs in there. There are loo many dogs In there
some bmes so that I don't want to go in there with my dog, it is too mucll So, I go over to Jason Park and those
are the two that I do use, but Jason Patl<, again, everybody is doin; a great job of explaining why we should have iL
The one question that I do have, I know certainly you guys do go on a picnic o,, occasion with your ramily, have you
ever gone and sit down , taken a picnic lunch down to Jason Park on an afternoon and watched? Would you
consider it berore the 191"? I mean, It Is something to do. No, really, go have a picnic lu nch on a Saturday or
Sunday and see what 1s going on Check Hout And the lighting at night al Jason is bad . there is one. And I have
black dogs and I actually have orange collars with reflective because at night I have been there, I have lo look With
a flashlight so that I can see the,r collar where they are at So the hghling is bad after hoors So, I wish you would
consider that. But I really wish you would go and check it out for an hour on a Saturday or Surlday .. ta ke a lunch.
take your ramily, take your grandkids, check II out. Thank you.
Mayor Woodward sSld thank you
Rachel Shields, an Englewood resident, said my house is connected to the park on the west side My husband and
•
I were born and raised in Englewood and we moved back to Englewood and specifically to the house we did
because we knew that Jason Park was an oil-leash park and we had a dog We could have moved to Ldtlelon or
wherever we wanted, but we wanted to hve back In our home town where we were raised because or the dog park.
I definllely understarld the concerns of the people who want the park to be on-leash only, because I am a mother
myself but as a mother, mysell, I go to Jason Park and Centennial Park once Of twice a day, because I am a stay-
at-home mom and have no problem tak ing my baby there and my ciog and II Is just a great time with me and my
Eng l ewood City Council October 5, 2009 Pag e 12 son and my girl I ask the hours ,n the winier be increased, ,f lhal Is our only option I understand that the hours are what you guys are considering If lhal Is the only way we can go I would ask for winier hours lo be increased On days when :here are bhuards, dog people are still !here ll's trampled all down nghl afler a snow storm We are au already !here And I think I am lhe f11St one and !here are 20 dogs already out exercising So. you know. I think definitely In :he winter time. we are preny much the only ones there all winter, and we are dedicated We clean up the dog poop We s\111 have our brunches and if we are all forced to go to Canine Corral, It wou ld Just be a Iota, alsaster area. It would be so much worse lhan it Is and I know that you know, there are certain people who
Iusl want Camne Corral to be lhe only dog park in Englewood and !hat wou ld fi x everyth ing. II would be horrible
So. I just would definitely say please lei us keep our parks Thank you
Mayor Woodward said thank you. •
Rhonda Kahes. a Llltleton resident, said thank you for this lime I first started attending Englewooo events because
Cani ne Corral opened . Prior lo that I didn't go to Englewood very much, but since Canine Corral opened , we have
been drawn into the community because of the activities of Englewood Unleashed. I've attended many events and
we do shop there more now than we did in the past, because we feel a part ol Englewood It has been very, very
mce I served on the Board for two years I have d'lfle a lol of wooc to help promote the dog parks and help also
promote responsible ownership there I am one of the responsible owners .. most of us are that I witness. I go to
Canine Corral in Englewood, attend , as lhe olhers have said, after work ing lhe hours wou ld brJ a lilUe bit dlff1CUlt for
a normal fam ily to get out and exercise and socialize their dogs. So. I want to reinforce that 11olnt. The olher thing
Is, I read an article recenUy llnd I apolog ize for not doing my home work and thinking a'viul this ~revious ly, but It
seems to me that I read this 11rucle that communities are looking for things to attract res10~. •• to their communities
and dog parlcs .. having dog parks Is one of lhe c,own Jewels that communilles are looking fo: ~ ''!r communities
In our area are actively seeking lo open up dog parks and have more off-leash privileges to attract Int ·eSldents
So I think that ,s a valid pomt to bring up. The only other thing I would like to state Is this enforcement of hours IS •
going to be very. very dlff1eult. I agree with lhe other people that have been up here speaking In that we have
encouraged Code Enfo rcement to come along and to help us and support us and make surpri~e visits . I know that
we have called to have Code Enforcement and the oohce help to enforce our nules, because we value our parks
very, very much l feel that ii would be much easier to enforce as a soc,ety the signage and the nules that we have,
as opposed to imposing more rules that we are not 901ng to be able enforce I just think that It is trouble in the
future But anyway, you will rule wisely. We wdl follow what you recommend and make that work as well, Just hke
we have made Canine Corra l work. And gooo luck and if you have any other questions, I know that you will call on
us Thank you
Mayor Woodward said thank you
Gen Hughes, an Englewood resident, said I have llved In Englewood for 65 years . We have been In our home for
40 years and II ,s right next lo Jason Park We no long er have a dog which we had always had, but 8 years ago my
dog died and never got another one. We have never, ever had a problem with any dogs at that park. In fact, in the
evenings I work at the South Restaurant and have worked there for 25 years, but when I am home al night,
because I work n,ghts, when I'm home we e11JOy sitting out there In the ya.rd and watching the dogs People bring
their dogs They play ban They train them You know, 11 Is mteresbng, we have ten grandchildren, two great
grandchildren and they have all played at lhal park. We have never had trouble with a dog, never seen a dog f,ghL
I just don't see what the problem is. The one problem that they do have Is having the hours so late I get home like
at 11 o'clock al night and most of the lime .that one light lhal they have cul there Is not even on As I drive In the
driveway many times I see It nash off and 11 doesn't come back on for at least another half hour I don·t see how
people can walk their dogs ou t there in the dark You know, we don't have a, what you call a violent neighborhood,
we don't have any big problems The one problem we don't have IS a dog problem. Nowt just wish the Counetl
would stop and think about ao the people that go there and lhey meet people It is JUSI like a neighborhood party
Many times you see groups of people standing out there talking Mow I Just wonder what you think about that
before they vote against It Thank you

She didn't go Into the parking lot. She stayed away from the baff fields and jusl proved to me how much I can trust her and how much she trusted me In being her owner and how well I had done ,n actually training
my dog So, Jason Park Is actually helps me in learning 11.)w to train my dog. get her voice command controlled,
she doesn't go within 30 feet of me without lurnIng around making sure she sees me and if she doesn't see me,
she almost panics and comes running to find me For responsible oog owners It is awesome and It Is unfortunate
that there have been some bad decisions made from ceita,n owners to make it such a horrible expeoence ro, the
ones who take care of their dogs and actually enjoy the use of parks. I hOpe this all goes well and you hear all
these wonderful points that have been made this evening and that you will Osten to the majority that has shown up
so far tonight. Thank you .
Mayor Woodward said thank you.
Jaxlne Hensley, an Englewood resident said I would just like to say thal I think people from 1 lo 100, with or
without animals, should be able to enjoy lhe pubhc parks, that we an pay for with taxes, year round Centennial
Park Is busy with people no matter whal season It Is We have baseball, soccer, rugby, lootball. .. we have people
out there playing volleyball We have fishermen almost 24n year rOU'ld I don't know how they do tt In the cold,
but I see them out there because I can see the park right out my w1nd0w. We have a hill that the little kids come
and slide down whenever It snows and they are a lot of fun to Wal~h. but they always say, we have to watch for
landmlnes. I think the hours that you all Otiglnany set seem very fu to everyone I would like lo see maybe the
• kids have a little more time In the winter, In our park especially, because they do sled. I thank you for all the time
you've spent on this and look forward to what you decide Thank yoo
Mayor Woodward said thank you.
Dorothy Haefell, an Englewood resident, said I am for dogs on leash, as you well know, but I think you've worked
long and hard on these hours and they seem like a good compromise to me. And as these people spoke, I never
heard a one of them say that they couldn't put their dogs on a leash If they can't fint' It after dark, I think they
better put their dog on a leash and know where it is at and keep our parks for people and children and dogs if lhey
are on a leash. I guess if you can't do Iha~ then these hours are a good compromise. Now, I just read In the
papers yesterday about the altack on this Adams County woman by two dogs, neighbor dogs. These dogs ~as
also never been reported to the police before, but they got out of the yard and this woman was going for her mall
and they attacked her and tore her up. She was hospitalized and then had a heart attack t guess these dogs off-
leash people would just say, well those are bad dogs. Well they were bad dogs that turned out, but nobody had
ever reported that they were bad dogs before. So tt can all alWays happen People, your dogs are around other
dogs and othe r people , whatever. So, th ink about that And thank you very much for your bme and an lhe effort
you have put Into this Thank you,
Mayor Woodward said thank you .
Emme Putnam, an Englewoud 1 •!dent, said just a couple of points. The idea of Inclusive and exclusive, tt seems
to me that our parks are inclusive and not exclusive. We Include the residents of Englewood, which Is why the
parks were butl t and we also Include dogs as long as they are on leashes I don't see the exclusive aspect that was
referred lo earlier. Also, I love dogs, I've lived with dogs my whole life and most of the people who have spoken
ahead or us Who are for off-leash, make tt sound like all dog owners are the same and all dog owners want
unleashed dogs In some of 'he parks. t have had dogs In Englewood and they have never been off their leash In
•
any park and yet we run and walk and they get exercise and they meet other dogs and they socialize so. you know,
11 ts as though all dog owners are for having unleashed parks I know that Dorothy is another dog owner and
Jaxlne, and bolh of them would agree with me. We had dogs, we are dog owners and we like our dogs to be
leashed Also SOmt!body said earlier, I'm sorry I don't know the names of the people that spoke, bul thal the:e Is no
problem. and that ts simply not the case Maybe In Jason, I actually respect the d1ehard Englewood Unleashed
people, they do seem to be very responsible and caring for their dogs and the messes and all the rest or It, but
En glewood City Counc il Oc tober 5, 2009 Page 14 unfortunalety !here are people who do not behave that way and people who let lhev dogs out and don't regulate lhem at an And there have been many incidents thal were very unpleasan~ scary and damaging and many, many. many droppings that are not picked up So to say lhal !here 1s no problem . maybe It's because in Jason Park that Is where Englewood Un leashed Is concentrated and those are lhe respons1ble dog owners. In Centennial Park that is not the case There is dog poop all over Iha! park and even on benches where people sit. So it's not quite as rosy, at least In our park, as maybe It Is In Jason, I don'! know, although I guess Martha would disagree ... because I know lhat she has had unpleasant experiences in Jason Anyhow, I do want to say that I appreciate all the work and It does seem bke an awful lot of wont for dogs, but the pNks are primanly for people. Just remember thal And
thank you for your time Good luck.
Mayor Woodward said thank you •
Usa Crammer, an Englewood resident, said I have lived In Englewood since 1984, And prior to Jason becoming a
multi-use park, actually four and a half years ago ... l never went lo Jason Park. I go there strictly with my dogs and
It is to soclaltze lhem, but it is my social time. II Is lhe only social time I have. There are people that don't clean up
after their dogs and that is why there are people like myself and people that I hang out wilh that dean up after lheir
dogs and apparently we must need to come to your park. I've never been to Centennial Park, sot thtnk I wll go to
Centennial Park with my bags and go pick up some dog poop. I Just wanted lo say that I agree with the majonty of
the people that have spoken before me. The time is not going to work for a lot of people. I'm seml-flex,ble. It will
work for me, but I don't particularly care for IL I don't think we have a problem In Jason Park as Ii has been made
out. I have never seen any problems when I have been there. If there was a problem between dogs and children,
then I would be on the side with the children, but let's be real here. But that Is all I wanted to say I agree with
Colleen, Alice, Dana, Dan, Justin and the Hsi goes on and on and on. I do want City Council to know that I do
appreciate all of the time that you have spent and your efforts I hope this can be put lo rest f,naly This Is lhe
second time that we've al been here, or al least that I've been here going through this ... two years ago. So, If we •
can all make everybody happy, which I think we can, thal Is the best way to de II Thank you. City of Englewood is
a great place . I shop here, I live here, I vote here and I even work here .
Jim Crammer, an Englewood resident. said I just want lo say that I'm for this off-leash park at Jason and really
anywhere in Englewood. This has been a really great thing, especially for our dogs and my wife. She Is there a lot
and I gel to go occasionally I iust really thlllk that It i s a really good thing that we have somelhlng like this in our
City. f do think it is attractive lo bring other people to this City. I don't see the problems, at least at Jason, that
some people talk about And I would just like to see it stay the way it Is. I think Iha! lhe times lhal are scheduled, I
think It is really going to be tough for working people to gel there and utilize that park. I would just like to say that
I'm for it as far as having an off-leash park. Thanks for your time.
Mayor Woodward said thank you.
Brenda Hubka, an Englewood reslden~ said thank you for your time tonight l'U just try to only add and not
reiterale. This year I adopted two rescue dogs from the Colorado Humane Society who would othefwise have been
eulhanized II Is very Important tor me to gel them exercised and I tried running w,th them on lhe leash, but ii Is not
very easy. And I tried three limes lo take them lo Canine Corral. They just hang out al lhe gale, they want out of
there really bad. I think ii is the enclosure and too many dogs and there is no grass for them to rub their head In.
So, I do lhlnk we need to compromise though at Jason Park and the hours aren't too bad of an Idea, except for 7:30
is pretty late for a single woman And I will bring up for l~e forst lime tonight that If there is going to be a
compromise. I think that it is a very valid concern for children and picnickers lo be safe In the picnic area I think it
Is a very reasonable solution to pul a gale around that area Just like Cummins Patlt. I know it hasn't been brought
up tonight and we are only discussing the hours, but as you know, the hours are already controverslal t have lived
here jusl 9 years now, bul my parents went to Englewood High School and my grandparenls, they aH l111ed here too
If lhey were still around, we could ask them what the original Intent of these parks were. I am pretty sure that my
grandmother would actually side with Dorothy. She doesn't much care for dog poop and having to step In It •
Doris . she wou ld Just let the dog run all over the place. But those were different limes, certainly not with the
population we have now, and a lol of people need so many dogs So I hope you w,11 Just take into consideration,
you know, this Is a different kind of community now Thank you
Mayor Woodward said lhank you
• Englewood City Council October 5, 2009 Page 15 Kim Love said greetings Honorable Mayor and City Council members As you know I am President of Englewood Unleashed I am last probably but certainly nol least but do appreciale you: tome this evening even though we are ruMing late ton,ght As most or you know as I sax!. I am President of Englewood Un1eashed. we are a non-profit n1e I JC group that raises money and educates people abou1 proper ellquette with the• dogs In the off-leash patlcs hke Jason and Centennial We know thal all of you are familiar with the good work we do on behalf of our members and non-members alike when It comes to the off-leash pnvtlegcs al our parks We have, by the way, always
referred to the parks like Jason and Centennial as mu lli-use parks with off-leash privileges. Approximately 53% or
Englewood Unleasl:ed members are Englewood residents with lhe rest being other metro area residents. Our
survey that we completed recendy, and t believe you an have u In your packets tonighl included EU membelS and
other park users. The overwhelmir,g ma10rIty want to keep the parks as status quo, or as Is. But we too. are realists
and understand the true meaning of compromise, so that both groups can co-ex,sL Several Council members
asked us to state what we would accept as a minimum compromise We therefore make a formal recommendation
as our number two choice that these hours be 6 am to 11 am and from 6 pm lo 11 pm seven days a week for the
spring and summer. And thls again is in your packel This Is really a very fair proposal and exlends the hours
beyond the startir,g po,nl lhat you had originally proposecl for lhls vole and is a fair compromise 10 au parties The
opposibon will also like thtS proposal You also recommend s,gns lhal slate 'no dogs allowed on the playground or
m the pav1hons al any time'. Also we woo Id hke to see w,nler hours from October through March as being 100%
off-leash as these are months that we know that we are often 1he only group In lhe park. The hours we respectfully
submllled are a fair compromise for all users and we need to point out that Eng lewood Unleashed organizes a
brunch and a cleanup every two weeks. s,nce these days fall on either a Saturday or a Sunday, and usually start
around 10 am. depending on the time of year, obviously In the w111ter they start later and in the summer they start
earier lo avOtd the heal We request that thlS be taken into consideration when setting the off-leash hours. As
stewards or these parl<s, we have a large group and also we lake care or the parks, both for the city and the
• citizens are benefiti ng Englewood Unleashed because we work hard to keep lhe parks clean Some fotks miss
the~ dog droppings and we all help to catch the ones that gel missed. Since our group brings their dogs lo lhe park
during these cle anups, we set an example for everyone . So, lhe hours need to be considered as something
lmportanl because our group does go to pick up the droppings ... in addrtion to the ones that get missed. I was alive
1111961 and remember now a very lamous speech by John F Kennedy and he asked ·not what your country can
do for you. but what can you do for your country." Wei tlhIs ls as timely a speech a;; it was then as Is now, as rt
was then So what can we do for our City, not ~hal the City can do for you. Er,glewood Unleashed Is the
embodiment lo this statement. We give a 10110 Englewood and the parks. And Ms. Griego's group Is still only
inlerested in what the City of Englewood can do for them. They have given all of the ultimatums and disrespect.
Again I say, when is the lasl lime this group gave anyth ing back to lhe City? In reference lo Mr Crablree, he said
earlier that there is nothing wrong with the Canine Corral to use for dogs We overwhelmingly disagree. Ca111ne
Corral IS very heavily used and so is Jason Park, so there ls a reasoo to bmg dogs to Jasoo as wen as the Canine
Corral . Some people , In fact one of our Board members. has a dog named Snoopy that iS much smarter than
anyone on the Board . This dog Is a greal dog . II gels along with dogs, runs ,rou nd and plays, but unfortunately
can'I be lrusled in a park like Jason, because he will run off into the slreel So. lhe park like lhe Canine Corra l Is
necessary beca use certain people have 10 have dogs enclosed by a fence Where other dogs like, you know,
many of our membelS have dogs that are under voice control and do stay in the boundaries that they should Geri
Hughes, wno spoke earlier, who most of you know, wno has been a long bme Englewood resldenl menboned to
me lhat she never was asked to sign a pet1bon keeping Jason off-leash. We have heard this lrorn many people
bordering Jason Park and have never seen or heard from 1he group and have never been asked lo sign a petition,
so we queslion the vahdily or such a petilion and especially lhe video which we believe was ediled to show what
they wanted 10 show, nol lhe real tacts What defines a lamlly? In these days, dogs are members of the family and
most people have dogs and children and consider the dogs as members of the famJly. So, the family members,
including dogs, should be able lo use the park .. Centenntal and Jasoo and lhe other parks that have off-leash
pnvileges Lastly, d a comprom,se can be reached, we woulo stror,gly urge City Council to adopt 1he EU suggested
proposal again in your packets for the hours we menlioned earlle< This Is not only a real compromise, but ii works
• for both sides Thank you for your lime tonight.
Mayor Woodward said thank you
Martha Griego, an Englewood resident, said okay, I wasn't going to talk, but after heanr,g everybody from
Englewood Unleashed and olher people tal~. I decided to come up and do my hlllA sp,el here after takmg notes
Englewood City Council October S, 2009 Page 16 Forst I would loke to say, I don't really want to lake this personal but you know all you guys, I've had dogs, okay? I've had Reo Dobles I know what ,rs hke to have a dog. okay So ,t IS not hk~ we don't want your dogs to be ,n the park We don't care if they are 1n the park , but we want them to be on the leash. And as far '<S the klC!s be"1g around but you never hea rd anything, you never seen anything, well let me tell you , I would ratner be al home watching my Monday night football than being here, okay. Because when the dogs start coming after my gran<lbabies, that becomes a problem So If you guys weren't there, so, you know that Is something that you guys got to work with there And as far as about the video and the pebbons, wel you know, If I don1 go to your doo, that
IS probably that you weren't there and I'm not going back and forth to your house and make sure that you are there
or not I did what I had lo when I had the time to do II. I was working and I had other things to do bes,des going
door to door lo make sure l~al you guys are there. So about the compromise, now you know, to us we thought we
were doing greaL Englewood Unleashed said yeah, let's compromise on the hours So, we said yeah We talked
with CenteMlal people and like yeah. let's compromtSe, let's do the hours. Well now the compromise Isn't good
enough for the people of Englewood Unleashed. And so the communi!y that signed the petruon I mean, we were
asking for something different and when the hours came out .. we agreed Okay, you know, whatever hours you
guys come up with as long as they are reasonable, we will agree. And that Is what we did. You know, we brought
you guys a lot of facts regarding dogs .. regarding how aggressive they can be, you know, the past mayor that was
here, a dog approached them and we know h was v, the 7 newspaper, so ff she lied and they lied, whilt: sooy abou1
that. you know, but thtS is where I got one of the facts abou1 lhaL And so to me, you know, we have to remember
the usage of the park, okay, now they are saying there are more dog owners at the park Well, yeah, that is
becaus~ there are a lot of people around the par~s that have not gone to the parks any longer because the dogs
have taken over, so they don't want to deal with the dogs , And yes, there are other ~arks, Belleview, Cushing that I
can go to, but ii I hve a block down fr0'1'1 Jason Parle, why should I go to au these other parks. I just don't
understand that , why I have to remove myseW from a park that you guys originally built for people • that was for the
lamihes. Your Intent was not to build a park to have the dogs run loose so that way everybody can co-exist It was
built originally for the families lo have picnics, to have a good lime. And so to me, tr.at Is .. , I Just can't understand
that kind of thinking. I guess, or how people are saying the park is ror dogs Well, yeah, I can undersland Canine
Corral I mean I dnve there two or three tlmes a day down Windermere and there are times that there Is nobody
there at Canine Corral And then there are times when I see a tot of dogs But you know, that is not the only dog
park There Is one over on llltleton and Belleview and It does have grass over there and it is about double the size
of what Canine Corral Is , So, you know, If It Is minimizing, I mean. why Is It that we have to minimize our lime at
the park wllh our children when they want to have the park fully and they can also go down to Canine, they can go
down to Littleton some of these people live In Littleton Why don't tl>ey use that other dog park? So you know,
they talk about wen they can't go there certain hours because 11 is dark 3nd the,e Is no ligh~ wel you know they
say they can't find their dog. Wen, isn't it one of the rules that there dog has to be under voice control? So .vhy are
you look!ng for your dog when all you have to do Is call your dog anc your dog should be coming to you . So that ir.
another point I have on there. Like the lady said about believing the kids, that she wou ld believe the kids, well if
she looked at Ille minutes when my grandbables came and they talked to all of you guys I mean, you know, I was
surpnse<1 that they wanted to talk to you guys about hOW scared they were, hOW many bmes that there had been
incidenct,S where they cannot go down the slide because there is a dog at the bottom of the slide, or an aggressive
dog that came up against us So you know you really, to me, need to think about that part. And yes, there 1s a lot
of people here that have the majority from EnglewOOd because Iha other people that were for the dogs to be on
leash have really given up on you guys and I told you guys that the last time. beca<1se they have a lot of behel in
you g vs And they've JOSI given up that you gll) ; are going to do what you guys are go,ng lo do no matter what
they sz1 So you know, I am here because f am just hoping that you guys will still compromise and that we wilt sbfl
have 1I lo where there Is a compromise of the hours so that people can go to the park And I am talking about all of
those people that have signed the petition that live in the surround1~g a, eas of Englewood and Centennla!. We are
talking within the blocks We are not talking about we went ()own to Elab, Bannock, all those areas, It was just
within the few blocks that we walked rt and we dlCI ft We didn't have an internet to get pebtions going So the
bottom l,ne Is, you know. to keep the hours as you have indcated and go by what you guys feel ,n your hearts and
what the parks are really meant for . 1s ,1 tor the dogs or 1s It for the Children and the fam,hes? Thank you
i•0 vor Woodward said thank you
Michael Thorpe, an Englewooo resident , sal'l I hke a lot of the points people have bloughl up
tonight, but I am sure you guys could all give gold bars to everyone here 1f you could afford 11 and thal 1s pretty
much what the bollom line comes down to The City tr1es with the cudgel crisis and all thal I thm k that the price

Englewood City Council Oc to ber 5, 2009 • Pag e 17 you have to pay ,n overtime and/or extra hiring of more Code Enforcement officers 10 make these make these hours viable, you could probably buy a 101 of fences I realize this Is a presump1,on we're not rea lly suppose 10 discuss It, bul I lhmk you should discuss the cost of what this w,11 do The Canine Corral cost S200.000 00 You are going to have lo spend at least that to get mCJ<e parks, because Canine Corral Is way too small But I would 1ust hke you to think or the cost. The Canine Corral Is way too small I think that maybe some of the l)(oblems in the other parks may be because they're forbidden In Oenver and other cities like lhat, they Iust might not care and 1f their dogs crap In our City and it's not In theirs So maybe lhat Is why the lesser qualities of the olher parks exlsl
Bui I don't think ttus IS a good plan I have boxers, I'm out of shape, I can't run behind my boxers, thal's why I like
the off-leash aspect You know, I 1ust don't think the hours are a good Idea but 1f that Is the • ay you guys are
swinging, I would like you really think of the bottom line. of 1ust lhe cosl You're going to pay an offocer for overt1m,·,
people are going to pay your tickels, are the tickets going to cover that? And maybe Jus l weigh that In the future
before you give your decision oul Some other allematives perhaps fencing or something like that

Laurett Barrentine. an Englewood resldenl s~1d I agree wtlh all of you on some level here. I agree wtlh you Thrs
is a joke. II was a joke when the issue came up in ;1003 and 2005 and 2007 and II was a joke thal you got sucked
Into this when lhey said. we wanl 10 comp,omlse, we want lo bring all !hose pelttlons and !hose people that are
complaining about these 1Ssues, it was a joke because ii is the same thing they did. Englewood Unleashed
proposed all ol lhese time Umlls and everything last time . It wasn't sa11sfactory to their constituency then and it's •
not salisfaclory now It is a waste of ltme. II didn'I work last lime, rt's nol going to now You got suckered
'" .. okay. Because then they wenl ahead and said, we wiU compromise and City Council can present lhis. Mosl of
the people on lhat Board up !here wenl through lh1s and lhey know It didn't work. Ii can 't be policed, n can't be
enforced and ii was never a viable option really for Englewood Unleashed and It Is never going lo be a viable option
for lhe people who are trying lo use the park with the11 kids and !heir famdles e,lher So, 1 lhlnk, wh1I we can end
up agreeing on Is that once agarn, this faux waste or time to go ahead and wear lhe heck ou: of eYo~rybody, wear
them down and Just have 11 come up again and ii will come up again It will come up again wht1o Y•ball season
happens and when Jhe dogs are running around and Interrupting the soccer games and then ii will become an
Issue again and then It will go away. And unfortunately, lhey have worn the other side down enough and I know
lhal they have gotten personalty allacked I experiencad enough of that myself and I'm sony for that I am sorry for
lhe other side that your organization once again did a comprom ise on the inlenl or the proposal lhat they were
actually maktng a senous compromise because II wasn't II was never going lo work. II didn't before Kim Love
came up and made lhe same speech 1n 2005 and 2007 minus the Kennedy thing I think lhal was new ... okay. So
I apologize for thal One of the lhrngs that I'm a ~Ille disappointed about ,s that lhe reason thal 11 keeps coming up
1s because there ,s a real problem There are some issues Maybe ii is nol to the ex1ent that you guys think ~ is
but there are These people d1dn'1 lake their lime and now for her lo come down and make up stories ab.iul dogs
because lhey wan t to go ahead and create havoc and gJVe City Council something else to do They were real
issues and when !hose issues truly and honeslly gel addressed about how these guys are going lo work together 1n
lhe park, maybe there wlll be a real compromise, bul lh1s was never intended lo be 11. And I'm sorry 11 was a waste
or your time II was a waste of 1h1s orgarnzalion's ltme JUSI as much as yours And I appreciate the effort lhal you
made and I am sorry lhat you guys gol dragged down here for something thal was never going lo be good enough
for either side anyway. So I agree wtlh you guys ThJs isn't going lo work It d1dn'I work last 11me and II 1s nol going
lo work lhis bme Thanks

believe, lhat on a market value of $200,000.00, that lhe General Fund operatrons aQocallon all or the property laX,
residential property taxes. Is $93.61 Thal Is an amazlng number compared to other ciUes We also have 532 ,33

you would have to take into consideration parks distncts. Nbrary districts, flre districts and all ol lhe other districts

Cou ncil Member Oakley said affer spending many hours on other subjects, rm not sure anybody will be l,stenlng to
the recording by now For lhe record, I think it shou ld be slated thal because of the TABOR restrict10ns to the City,
we cannot raise the mill levy without a vote of the people That's the reason 11 hasn1 been ralSed slnce 1992 In

can't.

May0< Woodward asked~ there was any discussion
Council Member Moore said Your Honor, I would Jusl like to make a few comments. Once again, a very, very tough
budget I think Counol did a great job working through the issues and the process that we went through trying to
rmd balance that WO<ked across seven different 0ptnions I thinll a went wel, out ... reany focusing on the budget
first and foremost. I want to thank the staff ... the sacrifices that the staff was willing to make allowed us to be able to
presen~ at least, a livable budget where we did manage to still maintain a 10% minimum reserve, which given how
quickly the economy can go either way, even where we are now, I know I personally think that this is extremely
important We also avoided touching the Long Term Asset Reserve f0< the sake of operations currently. And
again, with the staffs help ... because of the staffs cuts, we were able to achieve those goals and avoid layoffs .
•
And so, I really appreciate that I think we have a budget that hopefully works. The one downside, of course, Is
that things can certalnly delenorale further Hopefully, that is not the case. If it is, then more tough decisions will
be necessary, but based on where we are now. I am very pleased wrth where we were able to come out on lhts
budget. Thanks very much .
Mayor Woodward said I would certainly Uke to second what you said and thank staff I know that staff has been
working a long, long bme on this, longer than typical for a budget. I also feel that we have a good budget that wil
be monitored ... certainly again In December and February as we look at these and see where we are at.

Givers He said the council bin was Just approved by Counal a couple of minutes ago. This is set al $250.00 for
the license. the background lee Is S50.00 and the application lee Is S15 .00. As Council ls aware, we generany
review these licenses ann uatty We are sort of going onto unchartered waters here because this is a new license.
We really don't know how much administrative time th is will lake, but II it looks like this 1s going to take more than
Englewood City Council October 5, 2009 Page 24 this, we'll review this with Council with the ~n nual review of hcense fees Bui as I said, we're suggesting a fee of $250 00 and the background fee and the apphcation fee are standard Mayor WoodWard asked tf there were any quesllons for Frank Council Member McCashn sa,d and r agree If you read the papers, lately there are a lot of cities dealtng with this same issue So, I think everyone is struggling with these Issues. I think, hke you said. I think 11 is unchartered
water right now and we have to be careful what we are doing I know it's been passed by the people, but we shll
have to be cognizant of some of the issues that we haven't confronted yet So thank you for your ltme on this
Councll Member Penn said Frank, haw did we come up with the $250.00 fee? Was it by what we thought we were
90,ng to do or use ror administrative purposes? Was H according to other mumc,pahties? Was It jost eslabhshed?
How was that established? Director Gryglewicz rephed actually I reviewed our other miscellaneous fees and I took
a look at those and tried to determine the amount or time that we would spend on this. I looked at this as about
where a Purchaser of Valuable Articles license would be .. I don't think it Is going to be as much as say a pawn
broker or an auto pawn So I set in right In the middle there unhl maybe we can get some more 111formation I don't
believe anyone, a! thlS po,nt ,n hme, has set a icense on this As I said, ,,e can set It here 1nrtially and review these
as others come on-hne, to see where we are ,n the market But of course, fees are dete rmined really on the
amount of administrative work additionally that you would do for this. I con'I believe that we can charge above that,
so we try to just get a handle on it at this point In time.
Council Member Penn said thank you very much
•
Mayor Woodward said on this, with the pnmary care-givers ~ is $250 00 and then the background fee cs S50.00.
Now If It Is an establishment. Is that background fee only on ... I mean does that cover all of the employees that are •
in th e establishment or just the one pnmary ca re-g ive r? Director Gryglewlcz said this license Is licensed to the
primary care-giver, so each person that Is a primary care-giver needs to be licensed and have a background check
and pay an application fee Mayor Woodward said okay.

timely maMer. we can get requests subf!lltted to the Stale. The funding that Is available, tho 1.2 million dollars, Is
a grant from the Federal guvemment and the City wlll be able to draw on those funds on an as needed basis. The
process works by which we submit a draw request for expenses Incurred and the State will lhen have to make a
similar request to the Federal govemmenL Because of the time Involved, it is imperative that we get these requests
in as soon as possible and ensure that the funding flows from the Federal govemment to the State and then hence
to the City of Englewood. So requesting that the Department Director have the authority to sign wi ll speed this up
and not overly burden the Mayor, who I'm sure, is qurte busy.

(a) Mayor's Choice
(1) Mayor Woodward said I woulJ hke to menlion lhat we are dedocawig lhe opening of our
, , ,.,.,, bndges pedestnan and b,cycfe bridges on 171h of October, at 10 am at Broken Tee Englewood at the
., • Course. There w,11 be tents set up and people from lhe County, people from lhe Great Outdao< Colo<ado have
t,;,en Invited. I'm, 1 e there will be people some from the public It should be. hopefully , a nice day and we will
have the fall colors tnere. I know the South Platte Working Group. we m,t last week Their members will be
coming and they are excited about seeing it. those who haven't see n it. I wanted to mention that. Again, that's
October 17ffi at 10 am at Broken Tee Englewood, which Is our Golf Course over on Oxford.
(•) Mayor Woodward said I would like to adrress lhe rumor that's out there right now
regarding campa,gn Signs and wt-o's responsible and that sort of hlng I also want to menlion that initially I had put
111 a Council Request that was part of our packet from last week n.• came in Thursday, regarding Signs showing up
missing in District 4 And then last Thursday, I had called Chief V, odermee, !hat's when I emaied 111111, in the
morning to ten him about what appeared to be a number of numerous signs that were m,ssmg In District J, lndud1ng
from my front yard, my ne,ghbor's yard. and all over and asked that the officers on patrol be looking for where lhe
signs might be as they have shown up In past years .. In 2007, I believe It was Rotolo Par11 where we got lhem, I'm
su·e they've shown up at Randy's house In different years; I know they've shown up at the high school along with
other ones. Well, I got a call late Friday or Thursday afternoon that they were In lhe 4500 block of South Pearl. I
went down to the yard and retrieved Wayne's and mine and knew the house It was the home of the Engle"w~
High School Football Coach And there were other signs, of course, other campaign signs of candidates. Mall'•
were there Rtdt's were there Roofing companies' signs were there. Singles Only signs were there All klrlds of
signs were there And then I ge! an emad w,fh somebody sendmg me something that actually calls out thal Bob
McCaslin and I are responS<ble and that this h,gh school p,ank. as lhey noted, was that we were behind n arid
that I guess we had control over chee~eaders and footbaff players and I 11 Is Just more beyond believable to me,
the rumor miff I know I took probably clo!e to 40 signs out of lhat yard Oon1 know where lhey qo Replaced
them yesterday Waited untli alter the homecoming dance Sbll have more to go One t replaced last n,ght was

myself and I don't think Its Bob or Wayne . Council Member Mccaslin sai~ no, ll's not I'll go on record, with a Bible
here, th. 'l's not I had nothing to do with ii Mayor Woodward said what I saw was Just very insulting to the school
and to Bob and I Whose responsible for 11 should just really learn to grow up or something Get a life Do
somethmg Very negative I have my thoughts on lhat one
Englewood City Council October 5, 2009 Page 28 (111) Mayor Wooa,,ard said I want to thank the people, aN of the people. that showed up for the public heanng and I know that there was a lot of people and I see lour left. that commented I appreciate you even staying for thaL (IV) Mayor Woodward said I would also hke to address Mr Estes .. try to address what he was talking about He brought up this stuff from May 25, 2007 .. Englewood nea~y bankrupl It 1s 2009 In 2007, we ended the year pretty good Things did turn around and certainty last year we ended, considering the year. better
than we expected I think we have had a handle on our budget I wouldn't call us nearly bankrupt right now. So, I
don't quite know what the point was He had mentioned that he had put 1n Council Reques!s I don't know how he
can do that not being a Council member, unless he has asked some Council members something and Council
members didn't tum tt Into a request But a Council Request comes from a Council member, So, I don't know what
he is talking about with regard to his Co uncil requests.
(v) Mayor Woodward said and then finally I want to bring up the sign moratorium .. the
resolution that we have been looking at or discussing the resolution recommending to the City Manager ol the City
or Eng lewood, Colorado lhe esta bhshment of a Temporary Suspension or Moratorium on the enforcement of select
provisions of the Englewood Municipal Code 2000, the Sign Code, pertaining to Banners and Portable SiQns for a

RESOLUTION NO. 76, SERIES OF 2009
A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY MANAGER OF THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OR MORATORIUM ON THE ENFORCEMENT OF
SELECT PROVISIONS OF THE ENGLEWOOD MUNI CIPAL CODE 2000, THE SIGN CODE, PERTAINING TO
BANNERS AND PORTABLE SIGNS FOR A PERIOD OF FOUR MONTHS.
Mayor Woodward said I would like to open It up for discuSSIOn at this polnl
Council Member Jefferson said I would Just like to comment I think we did a pretty good ,ob of narrowing down the
moratorium to some areas that really were more at the heart of the issue, the recent Issue. I still have a little bit of
concerns about rt, but I wiU be supportive of what's In front of us.
Mayor Woodward said I have shared this with a few members of the BID ... the president, vice president and
treas urer ... Ted Vasifas, Rd< Reese and Bob Laughlin .. and I think you know the Idea is that they believe that there
may be some economic opportunities with this change. II grves ACE and P & Z the opportunity to slart looking at
things and it also gives the business community the opportunity to. as they said , I believe. police themselves on
some of th,s I know I maode 11 clear that I sure didn't want to get Into a pos ition th at we were looking Ike parts of
east and west Colfax or parts of Federal Bou levard, They didn't want that either. So, that was good I want to
compliment the City Attorney's office on wnt,ng this to cover the things that we had discussed, I believe. at our last
meeting. That's my comment
Council Me mber Jefferson said so one qulcic question, under Sectoo 4, Is that language in there to try to get us out
of a. . City AHomey &otzman answered It is actually required. The case law requires the temporary suspensfon
language .. that's taken right out of the cases. Council Member Jefferson said okay. I don't know. I remember we
talked a httle bit about a potential taki ngs rssue about some of this. Is that addressed here at all? City Attorney
•
•
Brotzman said yes If you look at the very last Whereas What we are doing Is basicelly giving a warning that if you •
are ~uylng a banner, then al the very least. you are tak,na a nsk.
Mayo, Wooa,,ard said they are taking the risk Tt.ere't ,.., grandfathering based upon this. II does address the
publtc right-0l-way that we passed last year, the fences. And side-yard fences . correct me~ I'm wrong Dan, are
still not ap,,oved with in this Coty Attorney Brotzman said correct Mayor Woodward continued and then ol course .
• Englewood City Council October 5, 2009 Page 29 any prohtb1ted, hazarcloos or abandoned signs or signs that need main1enance win not comply I have had two calls lhis week from ... a call and an email from people with d1sabii1hes thal were concerned I 1ned 10 reassure u em thal the rlghl-of-wa•·• the openings would be enforced for ADA and access for them. Mayor Woodward asked ff there was any olher d1scuss10n Council Member Moore said I'll comment I win be reluctanlly supporting this tonight. I . lhe rules that are 1n place
were set up after going through due process I think thal this suspenSIOII of enforcemen11s hasty t don't
appreciate the way lhls subjecl came lo our attention, although I missed thal particular Council meeting. I don'! like
that thal's how this whole thing started . Nor do I agree with the portrayal that the City of Englewood is antl-
bumess as opposed 10 businesses just need1"!9 lo recognile government bodies aren't meant to be able lo
operate quickly olherwise they're too easy to be Influenced. I win only be in support of this because Ifs limlled to
lour monlhs. I'm willing to support lhe experiment, even !hough I lundamenlally oppose setting laws In this manner.
I think that the process we were under In terms of public hearings, gathering inpul, going through all of the right
steps is the way we should be doing this. That's my two cenis.
Council Member Jetterson said I too have concerns aboul the process and the potential ramifications. Like I said, I
think we have done a good lab of limiting the amount of damage .. t guess, so lo speak ... thal could be done I will
generally agree with John's slalements there and I too will be cautiously supportive of this.
Mayor Woodward asked If there were any other cornmenls.
Council Member Penn said I would just like to say thal we are putting this oul for them as kind of an experiment like
John said, Hopefully, knowing, as professional as our bu siness people are. lhat they will take care of this and do a
• great job I mean, that's our expedation that they will take cate of II. They've asked for this. I think we've listened
to lhem and so now I think ll's ... hopefully they will respond and do a very professional job at handllng this sftualion.
Council Member Jetterson said and hopelutty thlS ls a step In the nght directlon, as far as giving the appearance of
being mo,e business friendly. I know that there Is that perception out there that we are not husiness friendly and
again, whether tnue or not , I think this will help a llevlate some of that perception , At least, sh ow business owners In
the community that when Issues do come up we are responsive and responsive in addressing businesses·
concerns In our communities

COUNCIL COMM UNICATI ON Date: Agenda Item: Subject: October 19, 1009 11 ell Resolution Granllng a Right to Use Right-of.Way in Br oad\\a\ Medians Initiated By: Staff Source: Community De, elopment Department Alan Whole,
Community Development Director
COUNCIL GOAL /\NO PR EVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council has discussed the subject of Broadway median signs on December 8, 2008; March 9.
2009; July 20, 2009; and October 12, 2009. At this last Study Session, there was a consensus of
Council to proceed with the process of contracting with a vendor to provide the two median signs
under a license agreement with the City. Smee this Council Study Session and after further
discussion with the City Attorney's Office, It was determined tha t the Im plementation of a hcense
agreement could be accomplished by resolution instead of an ordinance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends adoption of thP. resolution granting a right to use right-of-way to place ~igns in the
Broadway medians under a license agreement
BACKGROUND, ANALYS IS, ANO ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Staff hired a graphic designer with a specialty in street signage to assist in analyzing the orlglna'.
concept of placing a sign on EURA property at Englewood Parkway and Broadway. Because ~f tile
limited visibility of a sign al this location, both to southbound and northbound motorists, his
recommendation was to place signs either in the medians or in the sidewalk areas of Broadway.
The visibility of signs on the sidewalks was determined to be limited du e to parked cars, trees, utility
poles and o ther slgnage. The preferred op•lon presented to Cou11cll was to Install two signs In
Broadway medians, on!' north of Englewood Parkway, and one south of Engl!!\, ood Parkway.
Additional pole signs Wt!re sugges ted on side streets to assist in wayfinding to specific businesses.
Those pole signs are not recommended as part of this program.
Whole ~,plunng methods for lmpl~.. nting ti.is sign program, the Colorado Department of
Transpor1a1ion program for installing '·•'ormational slgnage along Inters tate highways prO\,ided a
model fo r providing the median sign• :r, ~nglewood. COOT hire, a con tractor 10 provide and
maintain the lnterstare signs.
Staff is proposing a similar arrangement lor the Broadway sogns. Under a license agreemenl a
vendor will be re~po nsib le for procuring. Insta lling. and maintaining the signs and all costs
associated "ith th ese responsibilities . The vendor will be allowed to enter into agreements with
businesses for them to display their names on the signs and the ,•endor will be able to charge the • businesses for this sen ice. Al! re-. enue recer. ed Ii) the , endo, \\ill be retained ty the , end or to help defray the costs of ,nstallauon ,1nd maintenance. The term of tl1e agreement is le•, yea rs. The agreement may be renewed or terminated at that time. Reasons for termination ma\ ~ .. to end the program or to solicit other \'endors. The agreement is revocable should the vendor , , to pc<rform under the terms of the agreement or ii the signs are dete'lllined to be hazardous.
Design of the signs will be 1s previously presented to Council. The signs are required to comply
with all City standa rds, specific.•ions and requirements. The vendor will l)e required to obtain all
necessary permits for construction and installation of the signs,
Staff in tends to solicit vendors for this program through a request for proposal process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Other than staff tim,, needed fo, administering the agreemen~ all costs and responsibilities
associated wi th ins lllng and maintaining the signs will be the responsibility of the vendor.
