t~ squeeze under. It has been a wonderful eight years. I truly have valued this experience Gary and
Dan and the staff, It has been wonderful working with you these eight years and getting to know the City
at a whole different level and In a whole different way And Council , likewise it has been a pleasure
When I was doing the CittZen article, I stepped back and counted and real12ed that I have served with 15
different Council Membe<s and have learned from each and every one of them II was a real pleasure to
linlsh With the suc of you. I think that the last two years we did good work together Wayne, I want to
personany thank you for, I believe, ,t ,s 48 years of service to the C,ty and d I have got the math nghl, I've

COUNCIL MEMBER Mc CASLIN MOVEO, ANO COUNCIL MEMBER WILSON SECONDED, TO
NOMINATE JIM WOODWARD FOR THE OFFICE OF MAYOR OF THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD.
Mayor Woodward asked ~ there was any discusslon •·· '1ere any other nomlnations?
Council Member G1lht said fUSI for point of order, are we going lo discus5 llus al au or are we going to
discuss our vote?
Mayor Woodward said we are going to nghl now, are there any olher nomlnallons and we will discuss
this. Mr Gilllt said okay, great, thank you
Councd Member Jefferser. r.a;d I think, you know, part ol lhe Issue Is probably just the process of the, you
know ... probably should have had some of this discussion ,n the Study Session there. Bui I know that
there is some general concern about the process of the electlon in the Study Session and the process
being different In Ille Study Session than in the formal session. So maybe I can open ii up for some
comments on lhal I know 11 has been a point of, •,ou know, histoocal context that. you know. we come
down and provide a sort of united front on that A 1y comments from anyone? I am just p,eempbVely sort
ol bringing lhIs up, because I know that we hav~ some folks In our community who believe that it should
be a litlle b1I more ol a :ranspa rent process,
Mayor Woodward asked II there w£re any more comments
Councll Member GUIit said I would hke to add my comment ,he spinl or transparency. I would hke to
vote here like I voted ups1a11s Nol because of any Issues but because of honesty and transparency •
want to make sure that how I took a stand on one Situation IS how I take a slllnd III public as well So
C011ncil Member Jelfotson said you know, I wi! say the meeting upsta~s Is clearly open to the pubfc.
correct? Mayor Woodward said correct Council Member WIison said they were In there and It was
taped . Council Member Je ffe rson said and 1I wcs taped , that is a great point
Council Member Mccaslin said and t don't think anybody would say anything different at Study Sessmn
than they woul,< here I have no obviously, what I said In Study Sess10n so. you know, discussion can
be open
Counc,J Member Jefferson said I'm JUSI sal'lng you know what we are d1scuss,ng here Is a potenbal sort
or a pohcy change on the wa y this Is done Is this Charte<?
Englewood City Council November 16, 2009 Page 6 Coty Ano,ney Broizman saod dorec1ty Ih1s ,s actually lhe Charter calls for you 10 go onlo Execu.tove Session Clearl1• that Is nol allowed under Sta te law For many years , that was the way ti was back then Councll Member Jefferson sard so then we really have a Charter issue there then c,Iy Attorney Brownan sa,d nghl, so wt1h that we now make that Session open lo the publ!C because ,t
doesn I ran onto one or Ihe exoeptoons ror not having a public meeting
Council Member Jefferson sard do you know how long II has been happen ng that way? Does anybody
have any Idea, though I asked Jim a ltllle earlier, and we were saying al least the last decade, that that
has been
Council Member Olson saod Joe, can I ask you whal particularly you r,nd doflrcull about the way 11 went
this e·, ,,ing? Council Member Jefferson said you know, personaUy, t have gone through the process
before and you know, I rus~ I've got a group of conshluenls and other people who have come to me
suggestong that lhe proces~ ,s not as transparent as II could be And that they have the right lo know how
their elected officials , you know, who they support and who don't suppol1 and th:ngs or that nature and
you knaN, the purpose or me bnngong !hos up osn't lo, osn't really 10 divide anybody or. you know, ot Is truly
just lo brong these concerns forward. I think we do have a legitimate Charter Issue lhal, you knaw, has
some confllcls with Slate law You know, I guess what I am saying Is I ~ke the rdea, you know, presenting
the united front and I'm an on board wnh that, ,t just seems that, you know, hey. we are all big boys and
gorts here and, you know, we should handle II on a transparent manner
•
Councol Member Olson said how would having the conversal oon here make ti more transparent for you •
than having It upstairs where the public Is alSo Invited? Council Member Jefferson said becau~e. you
know, I see a changing process on the tome, you know, on the last decade or so. from my unders,~ndong,
you know, I th,nk Dan JUSI told us that 11 used lo be done ,n an Executove Session . which i s not open to the
public. And I have been told, and this os totally hearsay, you know, I don't have personal first hand
expenence or•~ but Ive been told that l\\oo years ago, which ,s the rlfSt tome I had ever gone through the
process, for lhe first IIme the public was really present. So, before, you know, we did sort ol have this
closed meeting where. you know, we made these decisions for the public and bke you sard. that Is against
Stale law so apparently what we tned to do ,shave 11 open, but ij Just doesn't seem as open as rt could
be , being lhal 111s upstairs when every other Study Sessoon we do Is downstairs
Council Member Gdlrt saod and for me. I'd prefer lhal my conslotuenls lo know exactly ,,ow I voled upstairs
and not say some thin g dofferenl down here Thal is lhe exact lhing that they asked me not lo do say
one thing one lime and do something another So. I WIit have to vote as I voted upstairs, do"" here out
of respect for this law
Mayor WOOdWard saod I th,nk with thal you may want to make a nomonallon. so
COUNCIL MEMBER GILLIT MOVED, AND COUNCIL MEMBE<I WOODVJARO SECONDED, TO
NOMINATE JOE JEFFERSON FOR THE OFFICE OF MAYOR OF THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD.
Council Member Jefferson said of we do vole, how will this work? We have a yes and a no button on front
of us Is everybody else, ,s rt okay, what do you guys think? I apologrze. honestly, I think we probably
should have had lh•s d1scuss10n upstairs Unfortunately, tho way the process went, you know, I apologize
lo, not bringing 11 up there honesUy Bui. I don't know, ol JUSI seems toke a longe,ong ossue Whal do you
guys !honk?
Counc,I Member McCasbn saod I feel kond of blindsided You know koowmg that there ,s a process an:I •

Cou ncil Member Jetterson ;aid I probab ly should have brough t 11 up , up the re Mr McCasl1n sa id exaclly Mr Je fferso n sa id some pe , ,pie th ink it Is a hug e substa nti ve is sue , I th ink It Is Jus t a procedu Ial issu e Mr McC11 sl m sa id that Is wh y I have an issue with it, thank you Council Member Pen e ,aid cou ld we Just proc eed and have the vote fo r Jim and then have a vole for Joe' Proceed r!ghl aNer that and that way you get your voles In there
Mayor Woodwa rd said ,es and I th ink that is something that we can add res s al a Study Sess ion as a
procedural type th ing . How we want to move forward in the future on that. So unless there are any other
nom inations or any other different type of discussion regarding th is , we can start with
Co uncil Member Olson sa id you are asking for discuss ion about the candidates now? Nol ~ discussion
about whether we should change poli cy ?
Ma yor Woodward said not changing po li cy, because that is a Study Sess ion question and then com ing
back In here and chang ing , bringing that If it Is a Charter change , I think II goes to the vo ters . City
Attorney Brotzman sa id co rrect. Mr Woodward sa id it is a big change .
Council Member Jellers on said so how do we change the process withou t the vote of the people then
Obviously, we havA gone from EKecullve Sess ion lo a Study Session .
City Attorney Brotzman said the difference was ... historically what happened is there was a recog ni tion
that ii wasn 't legal lo be m Executive Session anymore And aga in, we moved lo discuss that matter .
Whal happened Is the discussion changed to a strong leader form of government rather than Counc il
electing the Mayor and that never proceeded . The discussion of changing the Executive Session neve r
actually came forward to become a ballot question II got lost in the process
Mayor Woodward sa id if I understand correclly , when the statute changed where it was not okay to go
Into an Execullve Sess ion , that statute automatically changed and prevailed ove r our Charter
City Attorney Brotzman said correct. And Cou~c il 1ndIcated that th , • want to follow State law and make It
a p~bhc sess ion Mayor Woodward said so that Is how that happened
Counc il Member Gllht said I don 't think there is a problem with us saying down here what we said up
there I agree with Mr Mccaslin We shou ld all just say and vole how we voted up there .
Mayor Woodward sa id that Is fine .

history tonight This was the first lime tho! the public d1scuss1on about who becomes Mayor and why
happl ,ed opened for the public Cong ratulallons Linda on co:n ing onto Council, but you ashed what 1s
the pv,nt of having t hat contention come down here and 1t Is so that the publoc Is present, that they are
part o! 1t that they see that vote, that there 1sn I a pretense that there 1sn'l other ,ssues going on and nor

Joe, I'm 1ust so very proud that you brought up the issue,
because 1t needs to set the tone ror this next two years and gel moving And most surprisingly, Mr
Woodward Mayor Woodward, I am very proud of you I think you handled the fact that the d1scuss1on
came up well You welcomed that the d,scuss,on should happen down here You even tned to
encourage II several t,mes and for Iha~ I can only say that I am extremely grateful and I hope that the
neX1 two years bongs more of that behav10r and attitude of making sure that the public ,s included
Congratulations to the two new people and thank you very much ror making th,s a historic night ror the
c,1,zens on a much different level I'm very proud Thank you
Mayor Woodward said thank you
(d) Carol Brieczek, a L1lllelon resident. said I'm here 10 witness the sweanng ,n of Mr Gill~
•
I'm also very proud of him When I arnvl"d here, I was told that there had been a Study Sess10n earlier
where the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem had been determined I happen to be a student of the Open
Meetings Law and thal, it Just. it didn't set right with me because a Study Session Is 11 I'm a citizen and I
know that there ,s a Study Session, I know that I doo't have 10 be present, because no decisions can be
made Furthermore, I don't understand how a vote can be taken with two Council Members who had not
been sworn ,n as CouncU Members So, the Open Meetings law to me Is the most important thing that
the c,Uzens have 10 r~ly on m open and transparent govemmenl I don't see ,t happening In Englewood. •
We've been fighting ,t in Littleton We've come a long way I wou ld strongly suggest, particularly for your
new Council Mem,,ers, that there be some kind of a formal process where that law is reviewed so that
you know good and well exactly what you can and can't do No votes ,n Execut,ve Session No
dec,s10ns ,n a Study Session. Everything needs to be done ,n front of the publ,c anld I would thlS IS what
the publ,c has and Im su:pnsed If I went to my ColUncd meeting ,n L~Ueton. there would be back up
1nformauon on each agenda item for the public so we ::an sit there and we can read We know exactly
what 11 ,s thai is being discussed And ,t br·ngs a whole new level of understanding on the Issues that
Council ls deciding on. If the i;ubllc Is provided the ,nformaUon. It's on the Internet. Council packets are
given to the ltbrary But there's nothing like going to the meeting that night, picklog up the minutes that
are going to be approved, picl<,ng up a Councd Communication about the subject that Is go,ng to be
discussed II g,ves us the pros, the cons, the staff pos1t,on, any of the issues th;.t might perlaln to that
item so as a citizen, I can sit there and I can read land understand 11. which leaves me m a better
s1tuat10n to understand the dec,sions that the Council ,s making. If t had thi s, I think I would have to talk
and ask questions for every Issue that comes before this Council, because you haven't provided your
citizens with the kind of Information that would lead to a good, sohd, open , transparent government So,
I'm glad to see that you tried to rectify what went on upstairs 1own here for the pobl,c It sounds like you
have a Chaner conflict The Open Meetings Law never, ever prov1ded for an election of Mayor arid
Mayor Pro Tern ,n an ExeculNe Session So, ,t sounds hke you have made some progress lo follow the
law and I hope. part,cularly the new folks, really gel mto that law and know what ,t means so that you can
continue l o provide an open , transparent process for your c,t,zens . Thank you Good luck
Mayor Woodward said thank you
(e) Ida May Nicholl an Englewood resident. said I didni Dian on speaking this evemng but t
really appreciate this young lady gelling up and shanng w,th us what we need to know One question that
I had, lhal she also brought up, was how can the n~wly elected Coun.:,I Members. when they haven 't •
been sworn ,n by the 1udge, how they pick the Mayor and the Mayor Pro Tem? I was s11t1ng there and I
wondered maybe I was wrong muybe I didn't understand Now lhat she brought up lhe same quest,on.
I would 1,ke tl know that as wen how you p,ck the Council p,cks hke I said before. 1he Mayor and the

Englewood City Council November 1r 20 09 Page 15 panels on vanous C1Iy fac~1bes Pan of lhe 1h1s Is noI part of the scope or serv,ces of lhe energy aud1I In fact. 11 was at our requesl thal Ameresco did some preliminary Investlgahon We aclually had lwO lhird parties approach lhe C1ly during our process of in1t1at1ng lhe energy aud11, 10 provide lhe City wilh PV or Photovoltaic solar panels on buddings Bas,cally after 1mllal lnveshgat,ons Ameresco delermmed lhal 1h1s Is somelhlng lhal they could do and we agreed lhal n would be beneficial lo bolh parties 1f we would work with Ameresco direclly, 1nsIead of br1ngmg a lh1rd party In What Ameresco will do wllh their full blown 1nvest19abon ls lo look at vanous City facilibes, and they are loOking at five fac,hties, lhat m,ghl be
ul1l1ttzed fa< placemen! of PV solar panels lhat convert the energy of the sun mto eleclric energy We
have a couple of issues One Is we need to determine 1f lhe structure of those facilities will permil the
placement of the PV panels Second, we would need lo negotiate Wllh Areeresco an agreement fa<, a
power purchase agreement, whlCh would requii'e us lo purchase electocal energy produced by the PV
panels for the next 20 years, whlCh basically Is lhe Ierm of a PV agreement The good news Is that we
would be purchasing power from Ameresco at a fixed rate. II woul d not go up over time II would, very
like ly, although we haven't determined what the cost would be per kilowatt hour, but it Is hkely lhal lhe
kilowatt hour costs WIii be higher lhan we are paying Xcel Energy at lh1s po,nt In lime, but g,ven the nature
of the cosl of energy over time, we would expect lhaIIhal cosl would level out and then evenlually our
cost for lhe PV produced elecir,city would be less lhan thal of Xcel Energy, And aga,n, lhls would be
coming fo,ward to Cound ,n a fa<mal agreement Al ltus po,n~ lhls is Just an amendmenl to allow
Ameresco to ,nvest,gate. We would :ie coming baick to Council at a po,nt m lhe future, probably early
next year, lo discuss lwo Issues regarding Ameresco One would be lhe potential for a performance
energy agreement whlCh ,s a very large project that would Include up to, probably, in the neighborhood ol
S2 lo S2 5 m,n,on worth of unprovements, funded by energy savings In addrt,on , there would be a
separale agreement, If we come 10 agreemenl with Ameresco, on the PV panel placement, as again this
Is not part of the energy audil nor ,s ii part of lhe GEO program . Are there any questions related to this?
Council Member WIison said the only thing I have Mike, is when we lalked, you sa,d the re Is an Exhibit C
and D. Deputy City Manager Flaherty said thal was, aclually ... and I'll give those to the Clerk Council
Member Wilson said okay She said I know that they were part of the original, but I thrnk 11 would be
helpful lo have rt au Iogether Deputy C,ty Manager Flaherty said ca<reict Those two pieces were mIss,ng
from the ongInat agreemenl lhat was approved by Council In June . Those gol missed in processing for
the packet Basically , the locallons of the bu11dIngs lhal Ameresco Is reviewing under lhe energy audit.
and lhen the second 0 , which IS on the ft1p side of !hat same piece of paper we're conserving paper as
wen, Is the cost breakdown of lhe Ameresco conlract Council Member Wilson said also, this is
purchasing Pholovollalc. lhe syslem, rlghl? ll's purchasing or Is 11 leasing? Deputy City Manager
Flaherty said actually Ameresco will own lhe system fa< lwenty years and at that point in bme, they would
tum the system over lo the C1ly, If we chose lo accepl 11 al that time 0< be removed They would own II
They would gel lhe tax cred,ts from the lnstal la llon, lhe Federal Tax credits. which we are nol eligible for
as a lax exempl entity We would purchase power only from Ameresco
Council Member Gdhl said one of lhe questions I have 1s .. I am prelly familiar w1lh PV technology
because I gel lhe opportunity l o work with people who do lhal on a regular basis One of the things I'm
flndmg I hke IS thal the technology ,s updated almost monthly And my quest,on would be, should the Crty
go through this , would Ameresco be WIiiing, as updates or improvements come rn, would lhey be updallng
the system at their cosl or would lhat be something. 7 Because basica lly righl now, il's like buying a
P,nto and In twenty years, 1t could be a lolally different animal I just wouldn't wanl us to get bed into
something when we know thal lechnology Is rncreasmg Oepuly Cily Manager Flaherty said we can
discuss thal w1Ih Ameresco As I said, we will be brmg1ng back an agreement to Council al a lulure poinl
In IIme However, these syslems are pretty simple The solar hol waler syslem that was lnslalled al lhe
Recrea110n Center In 1987, Ameresco reviewed that operallOn and found It stil 10 be funcllOnal and lfl
good shape There are no moving parts In a PV system. Basically, 11 Is a large solar panel and 11 has
wha l lhey call an inverter. II ls possible thal over lime lhose Inverters might be replaced if they 90 bad but
basically lhe maInIenance on !hose panels ,s to .,ash them off occas,onally But aga01 we can have that
d1scuss,on w,Ih Ameresco and I would certainly do that
Council Member Jaffe,son said and I think the real appeal of a lot ol this rs lhe, you know . no cost 10 the
City bemg able to get some son of fixed cos! that might be cheaper lhan what we re purchasmg currently
Englowood City Council Novo m ~o r 16, 2009 Page 16 So I th,nk thats probably a lot ol the upside of someth1119 like th,s I had a couple or quock quesbons Mike You said twenty years was lhe agreement term length. 1f we did choose to go into an agreement with Ameresco? Deputy City Manager Flaherty said lhal s standard , but w~ haven't actually discussed lerms al this poInl In tome Council Member Jefferson said okay Deputy City Manager Flaherty said but thal basically Is the standard thal I have seen with the olher third part,es that we had the same d1scuss1on with Counc,t Member Jefferson said It could be more, ,t could be less Whal aboul lhe hfecycle of lhese lunds of syslems? Do you have any idea of what that m,ghl be? Deputy C11y Manager Flaherty re~led I
do not Again the hot waler system panels that we have ,n the Rec Center, we were kllld of surplised
to with the assessment that Ameresco made oo those that they were still very funct1011al and
operabonal . As I said. there Is reany no movmg parts Wtlh this There IS an element that's called an
inverter that IS basically the guts of the system lhat converts lhe sun energy lo electrical energy I was al
a meeling lasl week at the Governor's Energy Office and listened to the faci lity manager from Colorado
State Univers,ly, who had basically Just entered mlo two of lhese agreements , one on campus and
another one, which Is In process now on one of their farms where they have a large Installation outdoors,
net d1ss1mllar to what they have al Denver lntemaltonal Airport, and her response was that basically the
mamtenance IS one of cleaning the panels off occaSIOOlllly and the inverters do go bad from lime 10 lime
and that would be certainly we would stnve lo have, dunng the term of the agreement lo have
Ameresco be responsible for lhal Al the end of the twenty years, we could make a delerminabon that
either yes we want lo continue to ul1hze those as owners or to ask Ameresco lo have them removed.
Council Member Jefferson said like you said we will have that option .. hopefully we can have thal option
written Into the agreement that, you know, we can either utilize that or gel them to pay the fee lo get nd of
IL That's all I had

Mayor WoodWard said 1us1 to address the kfe cycle I do have PV sotar panels and 25 years seemed to
be a pretty standard number for a warranty Council Member Jefferson said for a warranty? Mayor •
Woodward said they obv10usly can last longer than lhal The Inverter Is lhe key and as far as that's the
onp thing that could change or break down and obviously if we have the contraclor responsible for that
or . Council Member Jefferson said I apprecia te those comments I guess In my mind I wa s trying to
decide If there would be some potenllal benefit at the end as we ll. Mayor Woodward said another thing
about the inverter 100 1s that the majOr company that makes the inverters Is moving a factory lo Colorado
In fact, I th111k they may end up moving two Thal has just come out here m the lasl few weeks
Mayor WoodWard said I had a question too. Mike, with regard lo the fixed rale Do you have any Idea
what that ,s? Deputy Crty Manager Flaherty said not at this point Ameresco has done only a very
preliminary analysis of whal their costs would be and the feaslbil1ty. They are going to gel into an In-
depth analysis We're paying somethi ng in the range of 5.5 to 6 cents a kilowall hour to Xcel. What I've
heard from others 1s lhal currently the cost might be approximately 7 cents or maybe a little bit higher.
Mayor WoodWard said okay How does demand work then? Deputy City Manager Flaherty said I do not
know that Jim Mayor Woodward said okiay That's I mean I'm all for tlus and there's no cost associated
with this, but that ,s definrtely something that I would like to hear addressed ,s how demand IS handled,
s,m~ because we do have large motors that come on and Deputy City Manager Flaherty said this wil
only be supplemental. This w,11 nol be replacing any Xcel Energy This will be, basically. will be
prOducing electrical energy, bul these will not be powering any systems In total In fact. as much as we
wou ld like to believe that this w,11 be powenng the entire City fo,· u,e next twenly years, that's not going lo
happen II w,11 power some elements In the bu,td,ng , but It will not lJe cupable of powenng an enllre
buildw,g Mayor WoodWard said okay so lhe other parts of the contract probably address demand to
cycle motors. and l,gh!Wlg and that sort of thing. Deputy City Manager Flaherty said, and agam, I cannot
ten you that and won't have thal lnfonmahon for you uni~ we bnng that back. ,1 we bnng that back ,n the
form of a contract
Council Member Jefferson said I lhln k that there are a lot of unknowns as far as, you know. what the •
potentia l agreemenl may potenl1ally be but. you know, my understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong , 1s,
you know, we have no level of comm,tmenl here We ore go,ng lo have the opportunity to review
whatever lentat,ve agreement we come up with Deputy Crty Manager Flaher1y said this strictly g,ves
Ameresco the authonly to go forward with a tho<ou,gh invest,gaboo based aga,n the goal IS to be able to

(iii) Council Member G1lht
1 He said I want to thank Elaine and Mark for coming up As a cihzen who has presented, I know that rt

they feel com fortabt~ doing that
2 He said also. Ca rol Brzeczek. I thank Carol .. I think she left. Than k her for brin ging some Issues up
know that transparency has been a big issue and I'm really looking forward lo going forward In that
direction
•
3, He said and Lauren. I apprec,ate her standing up and I think this commitment of all of us. at least I •
know thal I believe that we all have a desire to transparency and that's the direction that we will be 901119
4 He said personally aga,n. I want to thank Mr Mayor for winning and I look forward to svppc,rtr,g you
Mayor Pro Tern, I look folward lo working with you as well

working with you Linda and the rest of you We'll go through this It's an emotional process and we had a
great showing this evening and we had some great people. One of the things that I wasn't expecting, not
that I thought that ii would be bad, was Just how welcoming the City was when I got elected How the
offices upstairs and everybody Is Just so kind Gary. I want lo thank you for doing that. It means a 101 lo a
new guy and Linda can speak for herself on that, but I was treated very well and very kindly and I look

can't have my dryer opposite of the wa sh ing machine either and I am fully able lo walk from one side to
the other so, hopefully, we can get these things resolved
3 She said I am a lltlle bit concerned about the use o f the word transparency , I would rea lly like to •
welcome In vite our Council here to have a conversa~on at a Study Session about what transparency
really means and what policies actually govern transparency and not I think maybe there ,s some
conlus,011s about that and I w,11 own lhal for myself I've watched the lasl several months people get up
here an1 well, atter meetings talk aboul not having a transparent and open government and I fi~d lhal

Englewood City Counc il November 16 . 2009 Page 19 quite puzzling. because I've been able lo get most of wha t I need al most times Conversations that happe n up at Study Sessions are taped as well as so I'm concerned that there Is a bit of a use of a term here lhat maybe we need lo define fo, ou rs elves whal we need and identify what the principles and the pol1c1es are that govern lhat So lhal would be helplul to me as a newbie WIlh lhat , I say lhank you and I'm really pleased lo be able lo work with you all Mayo r Woodward said thank you
(V) Council Member Jefferson
He said fi rst of all I just wanted lo welcome RICk and Linda I look forward to serving wilh bolh of you
2 He said to Elaine , I hope Jim can bring 11 lo lhe Hous ing Authorily for you .
3. He said lo Mark . you know, he broughl up the ,ssue of five or six fo lks hvlng in the apartment and It
sounded like they were all related . In that situation , that's why It is perm iss ible because of lhe ir re lation .
correct? City Attorney Brotzman said there are two reasons . One is a relationship and the second is
square footage . Apparently what Mark sa id was there was .. it was square footage was met. Council
Member Jeffersor, said so Mark to answer your quest ion , as far as how to take it further or whatnot that
would require a policy change . I don 't see lhal on the ho rizon. but 11 Is certainly someth in g that we can
discuss .
Mayor Woodward sa id 11 is actually truly with the Englewood Hou sing Authority , which is a quas i-
governmental agency tha t is ... Simon Center and Orchard Place are Federally funded bulldmgs so some
or that , other than our zoning questions , wh ich Mark had brought up, so ... a one bedroom ... mus t be pretty
big square footage for a bedroom . Mr. Craft spoke from the aud ience 550 square feet Cou ncil Membe r
Jeffe rson sa id it doesn 't seem like it would be perm is sible. You know , perhaps we can look into 11 aga in
because that just doesn't seem to be adding up . That low level of square footage with that many fo lk s
doesn 't seem .. perhaps we can .. maybe I'll chat with you afte r the meet ing and we can try put in a request
1f need be
4. He said and to everybody else. who came and spoke about the process tonight. I ;enerally agree that
I think we have identified some problems and hopefully we can take some steps to amend that in the
future .
Mayor Woodward sa id thank you .

11 /02/09 Medical Marijuana Speech Notes ,,.\1\0'\ Presented for Englewood City Council reference 11 / 10 /09 Page3 Dept. of J ustice: no more raids of dispensaries in states where medical marijuana is legal. We have the opportunity to be policy leaders in our state & would serve Englewood's people well by seizing this
opportunity.
In Eng)ewoo<',: Swedish Hospital; variety of medical , alternative, integrative,
rehabilitative, & health facilities; Craig Hospital; veterans & other citizens who
suffer "~th debmtating illnesses & pain
Are disabled people-including veterans who fought for freedom--& their
caregivers now an isolated, targeted group in this city?
Mistake to interfere with legal patients' access !o medicine.
License too expensive for low income.
Pay for license to change caregivers?
Pay for license, even if not growing or selling?
Amendment 20 addresses & lr.,galizes th e manufacturing, production,
sale, distribution, & dispensing of medical cannabis.
Better to place licensing burden on these activities .

J M EDWARDS "Cannabis Therapy Institute· <1nfo@can•,dOistherapyinstitu1e.com> <jm_edWards@msn.oom> Thursday, October 29, 2009 10:39 AM Colo. Coull ot Appeals Restricts Patient Rights Read the Colo. Coun of Appeals opinion here: hUp://www.cobar.org/opinions/opinion .cfm?opinionid=7372&counid~ I
The Denver Post
Appeals coun: "Caregiver" must do more than grow pot
Posted: I 0/29/2009 09:47:44 AM MDT
Updated: 10/29/2009 10:34:36 AM MDT
http://www.denvemost .com/search/ci 13668544
The Colorado Coun of Appeals has upheld !he marijuaM cultivation
conviction of a Longmont woman, ruling that a person designated as a
medical marijuana "caregiver" must do more than just S11pply the drug to
patients .
ln a special concurring opinion, Judge Alan Loeb wrote that Colorado's
coositutional amendment legalizing medical marijuana "cries out for
~slative action.•
The case involved a woman named Stacy Clendenin. who in 2006 was charged
with cultivating marijuana in a Longmont home.
Clendenin argued that the marijuana she grew in the home was then
distributed to authoriud patients through marijuana dispensaries.
But the appeals court ruled that s imply knowing that the end user of
mwijllllllll is a patient is not enough. Instead, the court said, a care-giver
authorii.ed to grow marijuana must actually know the patients who use iL
"We conclude that to qualify as a 'primwy care-giver' a person must do
more than merely supply a patient who has a debilitating medical condition
with marijuana,• the court ruled.
The ruling, if upheld on appeal, could change the process oow in place to
supply the burgeoning medical marijUWl8 industry in Colorado if the
Colorado Legisla!Ure doesn't restrict it first.
Attorney General John Suthers applauded the dccisi.>n.
•1 am pleased to sec the Court of Appeals' has provided legal support for
•
ur case that a caregiver, under Amendment 20, must do more than simply
rovide marijuana to a patient,• Suthers said. "I also was pleased to sec
the assertion in the special concurrence that Amendment 20 'cries out for
legislative action.' I could not 8IIJCC mo.re. I hope the legislature will
11/4/2009
acl w,d creale a regulatory framework lhal gives subS1nncc to the Court of Appeals' findings ." Roh C my, who rcprescnlcd Clendenin, could not immedialcly be reached for comment. He had previously argued that by restricting the ability 10 grow marijuana for medical patients, the government would essentially be overruling the voters who approved medical marijuana in the lirS1 place . Stale Sen. Chris Romer has said he plans to introduce some medical marijuana resuictions when the legislature convcocs in January. Bui House Speaker Tcrrancc Carroll bas said he does not believe further regulation is a pressing issue in the state .

J MEDW ARDS ·cannabis Therapy Institute· <info@cannabistherapy institute .com > <jm_edwards@msn .com> Monday , November 02 , 2009 2:28 PM Subject : Policy Group Releases Draft Medical Cannabis Bill Dear Supporters : As you know, the Colorado General Assembly is going to take up the issue of Colorado's Medical Marijuana law this legislative session, which begins Jan. 13, 2010 . Sen . Chris Romer (D -Denver) will be the bill's main sponsor in the Senate, and Rep . Tom Massey (R-Poncha Springs) is going to be the
House sponsor of the bill .
Members of the Cannabis Therapy Institute mel with Sen. Chris Romer on
Monday (10/26) Lo discuss the medical marijuana bill. He said he had not
drafted anything yet and was just in the information-gathering stage of the
process. We provided Sen. Romer with the draft of a bill called the
Colorado Medical Cannabis Patient and Caregiver Protection AcL This bill
was written by the CTI Medical Cannabis Policy Group and is not an official
Colorado state bill. This bill came from ideas in the draft ordinance that
we released on OcL 6, 2009.
Click here to read the draft :
hltp :llwww.c a•nnbistherapyinstitutc.c om/lcgi slaturel
•
We were excited to be the first organization Lo provide a concrete example
how Colorado's medical marijuana law could be clarified to better
protect caregivers and patients . We thought it was important Lo take a
proactive approach to the upcoming legislative session by drafting our own
legi~lation instead of waiting for t. .estate to do iL We hope that Senator
Romer will adopt some of the provisions of our draft bill. He has promised
to work with CTI and others during the drafting process. At the time we met
him, he said he had not yet met with law enforcement or any other
organizations.
We are actively seeking input on this bill from patients, caregivers and
advocates . We will be having a public meeting to discuss the upcoming
legislative session in the next week or two. Get on our email list if you
are not already . Please send your suggestions and comments on the draft
bill as soon as possible to policygroup@cannnbisthcrapyinstitutc.com.
Please call or email if you have any questions.

Case 2009-04 -Medical Marijuana Ordinance Amendmen ts to
Title 16: Unified Development Code
RE COMMENDATIO N:
Staff requesu that the Planning and Zoning Commission review, take public testimony,
and forward to Gty Council a recommendation for adoption of proposed amendments
to Titl~ 16: Unified Development Code (UDC) pertaining to Medical Marijuana Primary
Care-giver.
PROCEDURE:
Pursuant 10 16-2-1.B.4 of the Englewood Municipal Code, the Commission is authorized
to review and make recommendations to City Council regarding updates to Title 16:
Unified Development Code. Amendments to Title 16 are necessary so that the Code
remains "relevant in light of the Comprehensive Plan and current development trends
and planning concerns".
BA CKGROUND:
In 2000, Colorado voters passed a constitutional amendment allowing the use .Jf
medical marijuana. On August 17, 2009 Englewood City Council approved Ordinance
No. 34. Th is emergency ordinance established a temporary suspe nsi on or moratorium
on Medical Marijuana Primary Care-givers until licensing and zoning regulations could
be put into place.
On October 5, 2009 Englewood City Council approved through a second reading
Ordinance No. 41. This ordinance amend s Tille 5 of the Englewood Munici pal Code to
include licensing for Medical Marijuana Primary Care-givers.
On September 9, 2009 the Englewood Planning and Zoning Commission held a study
session to begin d iscussion on Medical Marijuana and how to regulate It within Titl e 16
of the Englewood Municipal Code, the Unified Development Code. This discussion
carried 0\ er to the O ctober 6, 2009 Planning and Zoning meeting. During the se
1000 Englewood Parkway Cnslewood, Colo rado 801 10 Plt()i\[ 30).762,2342 FAX 303-783-6895
www enat,NOOdgQ\ o,g
discussions the Comm1ss1on mscussed \\hat zone d1stn c1> would be appropriJte for \\cdical I\ \Jrijua11a Prill\ary Care-gi, r rs .is "ell as required permits, and conditions that • • ,ould be suitable ior tills use. Through numerous discussions Communir, De, elopment Staff and Staff from the City Altorne)ls office determined that an additional definition beyond those outlined in the State Statute pertaining to Medic,11 Marijuana was recommended lor this ordinance. Zoning rP.gulates land use, how a property Is used or activity on a property; zoning historically does not regulate people or professions. For example the UDC does not
regulate doctors, but does regulate wh~re they can practice, i.e. office use.
The follow ing outlines the recommended changes to Title 16: Unified Development
Code.
Use Classification :
The Commission '''ermined that Medical Marijuana Pr in ,Jry Care-giver should be
added as a Commercial Use in Table 16-5-1.1: Table of Allowed Uses.
Recommendation :
Amend Table 16-5-1.1 : Table of Allowed Uses to in clude Medical Marijuana
Primary Care-giver under the Medical/Scientific Services ol the Commercial.
~~~ .
The Commission determined to use the same definition as the State Constitution relating
to Medical Marijuana, Medical Marijuana Use and Medical Marijua11a Primary Care•
giver.
Recommenda tion:
Amend 16·11-2 to include the following definitions:
Medical Marijuana Primary Care-giver: A .,, rson, other than th e patle111 and the
patient's physician, who is eight een years ol age or vlder and has significant
responsibility lor managing the well-being of a pa tient who has a debllitatin!I
medi cal condition a5 defined in the Colorado Constituti on Article XVIII, Section
14.
Zone Districts:
The Commission :letermined that Medical Marijuana Primary Care-giver is not an
appropriate use in the R-1-A, R-1·8, R-1 -C, R-2-8, R-2·C. MU-R-3-A. MU·R ·3-B and the
MO· I zone districts. These districts are made up primarily ol residential households. It
was also determined that the use would be a prohibited use ~s a hom e occupa ti on. The
Commissio11 also determi ned tha t the industrial dist ricts we.-~ not appropriate zone
districts. The consensus ol the Commission was that the industrial districts did not have
lhe high commercia l traffic of the recommended districts ,md therefo re would not be a •
•
•
•
zone distric t thJt would be as \ is ible to the µuhlic as 111 th~ medical and business districts. The Co mmi ssion did determine that a Medical Marijuana Primary Care-g" er is an appropria te use in M· 1, M-2 and M0·2 Medical zone districts "ith a Conditi ona l Use I ,·rm,1 ~,in as a permllted us~ m 1he MU•B· 1 and ,v\U-8-2 Zone Districts. Recommenda t,on: Prohibit Med;cal Marijuana P11mary Care-givers in the R· l·A, R· 1 ·B, R-1-C, R-2-B,
R-2 -C, MU-R-3-A, MU-R-3-B and MO-I zone districts. Allow the use in M·1 , M·l
and M0-2 (mixed use medical ), as a Conditional Us e with distancing
requirements, and in 1he MU-B-1 and MU-6·2 (business), as a permitted use with
distancing requirements.
Appro.JI Procedure:
The UDC identifies three types or "allowed" uses that are d1(/eren11ated by the type of
review performed by th e City. A "Permil!ed Use· is allowed as a use-by-right provided
all Code requirements are met. A "Conditional Use• requires a Conditional Use Permit
with review by the DRT and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Commission approval requires a public hearing which includes public notice by posting
of the property and publication In the City designated official newspaper and/or the
City's website. The Commission reviews the permit application for complian ce with
aiteria (See EXHIBIT B: 16-2-16 EMC) and may in,pose additional requ irements of
approval specific 10 the application. The Conditional Use Permit is the one rc\iew
process that offers the opportunuy for community input in a public review. The
Conditional Use Permit also requires an annual review for compliance wi th any
requireme nts for approval.
Recommend ation:
Require th at all new Medica l Marijuana Primary Care-givers in the M-1, M-2 and
the M0-2 be reviewed under 1he Conditional Use Permit ( 16-2-12 EMC) process.
Further that the use be allowed as a use b y right in the MU-B-1 and MU-8-2 zone
districts with distancing reqwements.
Use-S pecific Standards:
Use-specific standards are zoning compliance requiremcnls that form tl1e basis of review
cri teria for a particular use.
Recommenda tion:
Add section 16-5 -2 .C.13 10 Chapter 16 that establishes use specific standards for
Medical Mari1uana Primary Care-giver as follows:
1. The use shall apply for and receive a Conditional Use Permit in the M-1, M-2
and M0-2 zone districts.
(Allows for communi1y input in a public. hearing and requires an annual
review for compliance)
2. The use shall not b~ loca ted within 500 feet or a licensed chi ld care fa cil i1y.
3. The use shall not be located \\ithm 500 feet or any educational institution either private or public. • -1. The use shall not be located "uhin 500 feet of any church or religious institu tion. 5. The use shall not be located within 2,500 feet of another like use If in the MU•B· 1 or MU-8-2 zone districts. 6. The use shall have a City Sales Tax license. 7. The use shall comply with all applicable City codes. (Allows for review fo r compliance w;th all applicable Cit\' codes)

The above recommendations are incorporated into the attached proposed amendments
as shown in Exhibit A.

R-1-8, R-1-C, R-2-A, R-1· 8, MU-R-3-A, MU•R·3·8 and MO-I zone dislricls.

The Unified Development Code identifies 1hree types of "allowed• uses 1ha t are
differen1ia1ed by 1he type of review performed by 1he City. A •Permilled Use" is allO\\ ed as
a use-by-right provided all Code requiremenis are met A "Conditional Use• requires a
Conditional Use Permit with review by the Development Review Team and appro\al by 1he
Planning and Zoning Commission. Commission approval requires a public hearing which
includes public no1lce by posting of the property and publication In the Jesigna1ed official
newspaper and/or the City's website. The Commission rf!views the permit apr,lication for
compliance with cri1eria and may impose additional requi remenls of approval specific 10
the application. The Condi1ional Use Permit is the one rev iew process that offers the
opportunity for comm unity input in a pub lic review. The Condiliona l Use Permit also
requ ires an annua l rev iew for compliance with any requiremenls for approval. The 1hlrd
type of use Is a "Limited Use•. The limi ted use does requ ire additional review, however can
be done administratively .
Use-specific standards are zoning complia nce requirements that form the basis of review
criteria and recommendations for a particular use.
Commission recommendation :
Add Section 1&•5·2.C.13 10 Chapter 16 that establishes use specific standards for
Medical Marijuana Primary Care-giver as follows:
1. The use shall apply for and receive a Conditional Use Permit in the M-1, M -2 and
MO-2 zone districts.
2. The use shall not be located within 500 feet or a licensed child care facility.
3. The use shall not be located within 500 feet of any educational institution ei1her
private or public.
4. The use shall not be located within 500 feel of any church or religious inshtu11on.
5. The use shall not be localed wi1hin 2,500 feet of another like use if in the MU-8-1
or MU-8-2 zone districts.
6. The use shall have a City Sales Tax lici,nse.
7. The u<e shall comply with all applicable Cily Codes. (Allows for revi ew for
co mpliance with all applicable City Codes)
Ms . Kirk referenced 1he dislanci ng map thnl was dist ributed at the start of the mee1ing, The
map shows the locations of the existing Medical Marijuana Primary Ca re-give rs. She nolcd

Ms. Kirk noted portions of the 2,500 foot buffer extend into the M· 1 and M-2 zone districts. The Commission must determine if the distancing buffer from the MU-B-1 and MU-B-2 zone districts end at the zone district or extend into 1:ie M-1 and M-2 zone districts.
That concluded Ms. Kirk's presentation and she offered to answer any questions the
Commission might have.
Mr Welker asked if there is a Medical Marijuana Primary Care-giver just across
Engle-.,ood's borders, does that facilitv preclude a new one inside Englewood's City limits
within the 2,500 feet.
Ms . Kirk said Staff would only regulate what is inside Englewood's boundaries. Staff would
have no way of knowing what is happening outside Englewood's borders. Director White
noted t he Commission could make that a recommendation and part of the applicant's
application would be to add ress where othe r like bus inesses in the area are located.
Chair Bleile asked if there were any other questions for Ms. Kirk. There were none.
Chair Bleile noted for the record that no one in the audience wished to address the

Welker noted he did 1101 bcl iel'C distancing requirements have ever applied to businesses outside Englewood's boundaries, but (eh ii there was a school on Denver or Littleton's boundary 11 should be considered. Mr Fish asked ii that type o( distancing applies to any other businesses in the City. Ms . Kirk said it did not Mr. Fish said ol the entrties that the City does have distancing requirements lor does the City apply that kind or a rule to them. Ms. Kirk said no. Discussion ensueti Mr. Welker asked Assistant City Atlornev Reid if there would be issues if the City I egulates
based upon a like busin~ss in a no the r u risdiction, but within Englewood's ➔istanclng
requirem en ts. Ms. Reid sa id that has never been done a11d she would have to do so me
research and present her find ings to C-111 \..ouncil. Mr. Fish sa id if the Ci ty does goes down
that path, the Issue of who provides the information needs to be determined. He sta ted he
is hesitant to go that way because of legal issues; we are not sure how to do it and it has a
variety ol complex issues surrounding il.
Mr . King said these are complex legal issues; the State's Attorney General do?sn'l ev~n
know how to regulate Medical Marijuana. He slated he doesn't necessarily have a proolem
with Medi ca l Marijuana in general, but he does have a problem with the confl,c(s between
the Federal and State laws and tha t are no defi ned regulations from the State Attorney
General, leaving it all up to the cities and towns on how to deal with this issue. Ms. Krieger
stated the Commission is not dealing with the same issues at the State's Attorney General.
The Commission is dealing only with zoning issues; where do we want to allow something
that the State has said is legal. Discussion ensued. Mr. King stated the Commission could
always relax the regulations at a later date. He lelt the regulations need to be tighter rather
than looser to begin with.
Ms. Krieger said she's probably in the minority, but after looklr1s at the distancing map she
fee ls that the 2,500 loot distan cing requirement is too great . Mr. Fish agreed. He said there
are some members ol the Commission who have clearly stated that they want none of
these facilities or uses inside the City, but to set uo rule structures that say you can have iL
but not really, Is a poor way of going. I( the Co ,mission does not want them at all, then
let's write the rules clear and simple . Let's not wnte distancing so it precludes them being in
the City
Ms. f.:ri egcr said she would (ee l more comlortable if the distanci ng requirement was
reduced to 1,250 lcet.
Mr. Welker said there are three issues to resolve to niPlit and the Commission may ha\c to
make motions on them independen tly.
Mr. Roth said looking at the distancing map there is room lor approximately 7 or so
facilities outside ol the medical district. One of his concerns is that in ,everal of the
allowabl e areas it is doubtful a facility would locate th ere, such as In Cornerstone Park. The
Commissio n did not suggest a distancing requirement lor parks . Ms . Krieger said th ere are
many nr lghborhr'Jd parks that blanket the City.

•

Mr. Roth felt reducing the distancing requirement to 1,250 feet would allow for too many
faciliti es for the Englewood population service area of 60,000 people. Mr . Rsh stated he felt
that was reaso nab le. Mr. Knoth said he felt the Commission was being anti-bus iness placing
any restrictions on something that is legal by the State Statutes. Mr. Roth quoted from an
article In Wescword that said Denver is the wild wild west of the medical marijuana
business. We have precederce of being anti-business when those businesses do not reflect
the values of the citizens. Ms Krieger said she did not know how helping sick people is not
reflecting the values of the cit.zens . Mr. Roth said one of the existing Englewood businesses
is advertising in Wescword as. a medical lounge. Ms. Krieger said she understands the
abuses of medical marijuana. Mr. Roth said the use is ripe for abuse; we need to place
controls on it and it is harder to tighten contro ls rather than loosen them. Ms. Kri eger
agreed. Mr. King asked how the City is hurting the people by not allowi ng 20, 30, 80 or
100 facilities. He said he believes the three existing facilities could service the whole
population base. Mr. Rsh asked what he was basing that on . Ms. Krieger said from a
business standpoint the City doesn't tell clothing stores we don't•want you. When th e City
put restrictions on the u:r dealers several years ago we lost several of the good dealers and
they were very angry with us. Ms. Krieger said she believes Medical Marijuana needs to be
kept under control, but doesn't t:,i11k limiting it to whoever got here firs t is the way to go.
Mr. Knoth said he believes the free market will dictate how many will open. Mr. King said
again his concerns aren't with Medical Marijuana, it's with the image issue and until there •

Ms. Krieger said historically the City has not taken into co nsideration wh at happens ou tsi de
of the Ci ty's borders. She did not believe ll Is a good idea. Mr. Kno th said that motion could
knock out every area in the medical district Ms. Krieger agreed. Mr. Welker said not
nece~sarily so because in that area the use would be a Conditional Use with no distancing
req uiremen ts. Ms. Kriege r salrl by pot en tially elimi natin g the rest o f the a1 eas all we are
doing is forcing any applicant who wants to apply for the use In the medical dis trict to see

Mr . Fish asked what the purpose was of having Condi tional and Permitted uses in the two
area s. Mr. We lke r said so tha t they mig ht have closer spaci ng in some areas. Ms. Krieger
said she voted for a Conditional Use in the medical area because there is a lot of residential
there. The Conditional Use also allows for public input Mr. Roth felt the distancing

Director White said he did not. Chair Bleile sta ted fo r 1he record he was disappoin ted that the re wasn't more public in attenda nce. He sa id he thought this pa rticular Iss ue, fro m a commun ity perspective, would bring some passionate people forward to comment either way, especially cons idering the records of prior City Council meetings and the comments that were raised . I le said he
understands business requirements, as somebody who has had a small business in the past
and Is all for small busine sses . He doesn't feel restrictions should be placed on businesses
all the way from the Federal government down to local communities, bu1 al the same ume
\\ e do establish Planning and Zoning committees to make sure or to have a voice as to
what we want to see and what kind of value our community has. He does not \\ ant a sign
with a marijuana plant on it at each end of Broadway saying "come to Englewood, we sell
pot•. He noted some time ago the City Council went after an established business in
Englewood with a sign of someone smoking pol. We were against a sign with somebody
smoking pot, but we're for the ac t of smoking pot. Mr. Fish no ted smoking is not the issue;
the City cur ren tly has a smoking ordinance In place. Ch air Bleile doesn't care if peop le want
to pa rticipa te in the use of medical marij ua na in the privacy of their own home, but this
issue does not fi t in to what his vision of Englewood would be from a roadmap perspective.
•
Ms. Krieger said the guidelines the Commission is proposing has severely limited people
from coming to Englewood for medical marijuana. From her perspec tive she doesn't know •
what the difference is between med ical marijuana and all the liquor stores we have.
Mr. Welker said by recommending the City do allow Medical Marijuana Care-givers in
certain places he doesn't believe we're saying that we don't want business. We've
acknowledged it, but we are also saying He have a community standard and we want some
limits.
Mr. Knoth said medical marij uana Is somethi ng that is recomme nded by a Doctor and there
are hu ndreds or fa ci lities around the metro area. He said he feels Englewood is losi ng sa les
tax. Chair Bleile asked if it is o.k. to sell your mo rals out for a dollar. Ms. Krieger said she
doesn't know how this is selling your mora ls out. It's the differen ce between seei ng it as
medicinal marijuana and seeing it as teenage kids trying to get high. Some Commissioner's
questi oned the fac1 the City is losing sales tax dollars .

The City's concrete infrastructure consists of 7,315,000 square 1•et of concrete worth an estimated
cost of S54,000,000. Fees for the Concrete U tifity were established In 1997 at $0.078 (7.8 cents)

• BACKGROUN ..>, ANALYSIS, ANO ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
•
In early June, 2009, Pira tes Cove staff observed movement of the concrete pool deck and setding
of the retaining wall north of the Leisure Pool. Investigations determined the leak was originating
from piping under the concrete fl oor of the pool. Th e facility was closed for two days while
temporary repairs were made to the piping and ill structural evaluation of the wall was performed.
Staff, along with our consulting structl:ral engin eer, continually monitored the condition of the wall
and 1,.>ol deck for the remainder of the season. I I was determined that permanent repairs could
wait until after Pirates Cove closed In September.
Staff retained the services of Hed rick & Associat< 1 to prepare drawings and specifications (or
repairs to the wall. Repairs will include removal and replacement of approximately 50 feet of
retaining" all, removal and replacement of the concrete pool deck nor1h of the leisure pool, and
misce llaneous landscape restoration . Hedrick completed the remediation design in Septemher and
the Oty ad, ertised to pre-qualify wall repair contractors. Seven contractor; submiued "S tatemen ts

Two contractors submiu.ed bids on October 21... Bid documents required contractors to bid the

propose value engineering options that may lower the cost while still providing an excellent
product. The low bidder, Sla ton Bros., Inc., submiued a valu e engineering proposal to change the

Pirate's Cove MSE Retaining Wall Repair Project Method of Repair-VALUE ENGINEERING
This Value Engineering metho d of repair will involve the use of a
different retaining wall system to reconstruc t the po rtions of the
damaged MSE retaining wall that are removed. The system
proposed is the Mesa Retaining System. This particular system
achieves a positive mechanical conn ection of the soil
reinforcement to the retaining wall blocks though the use of
connectors manufactured from the same type of polymer as the
geosyothetic soi l reinforcement. A spec ific design will be supplied
from Slaton Bros ., Inc. by a licensed Colorado P.E for the area to
be repaired which will address all aspects of internal s'tability as
well as base sliding and overturning for the repaired areas. In
addition, because the Mesa Retaining Wall system proposed ~as a
positive mec hanical connection of the soil reinforcem_eots to the
retaining wall blocks, lhe unit fill material described in the based
bid is not necessary for purposes of connection Slfength and will be
elimirated. To serve the drainage 1tnd filter functions at the soil /
bloc k interface, a geotextile filter fabr ic will be installed behind the
retaining wall block and placed between the blocks. This
particular system ha s been constructed extens ively and
successfully on CDOT projects throughout the state in a variety of
conditi ons over the past 12 years .
