I actually think it was one of the most productiv& ones that I've attended , and I Intend to write up some of my thoughts In the next few weeks and present them . I'm sure everybody will second this, who went, but it was a greal thing bri ng ing the youth and I think it made Eng lewood look good at the federal le vel , because there were a couple of other municipalil ies that brought students and they got to reall y have a p•ett y good discourse with Diana DeGette and she is go ing to speak at the ir high school. That was a great interaction wi th them . I'm glad we added that component to the trip . And as I said , I'll write something up . (ii) Maror Wo losyn said we decided on the charge of the committee, to deal with the vicious dog ordinance and we came up with a composition for that committee, but we do need to give staff some ideas on how to get this out , unless we want to as k staff to get the word oul.

Does anybody have any suggest ions ? Council Memb er Barrentine said I agree with what Wayne said , and maybe aside from the other things that you are suggesting , we need to notify the people that came to that meeting that night. Let them know that U1e las• force is being pu t together ... and here are the slots that we are filling and as k if they would like to participate . This is in addition to what you sa id. Mayor Wolosyn said It would entail some sort of mailing . City Manager Sears said we could do that. Council Member Woodward said we could put It on our Public Notice boards and the webs ite . Council Member Barrentine said I do agree that May is a better time . People would get the Citizen and then have the opportun ity to respond In June . Mayor Wolosyn said I agree .

Maybe some of them might want to apply . Ms . Barrentine sa id that Is a good id,a. Englewood City Council March 19, 2007 Pag ,, 10 Council Member Woodward said we ought to get a date when we want to have everything in.

Their training , their professionalism , their att,iude toward the clientele over lhere ... how calm they stayed and it was just impressive to see people go into act ion like that.

The other Impressive lhlnr; there was meeting the other youth councils from around the country . One woman was from Oswego Lake , OreQon and she had been a youth council member, then moved away and gone to collage and she's gone back to Lek o Oswego and two years upon returning she was elected to the City Council. So, it Is a good !reining ground for our future . Also , I was In another seminar there and one of the youth members from Florida got up and spoke . She spoke very clearly , very precisely and It was very Impressive to watch an audience of Mayors, City Managers and other Council members sit and listen to th is student talk and give har opinions and viewpoints, which ware right on point . It was a very Interesting presentation . But I think overall . Englewood looked well represented and they also had the youth component and you are seeing other cities that are more progress ive, having that youth component. .. bring ing the youth up to a commission level, where they are adv isin g us of th ings that we may have overlooked or forgotten . They bring these things lo our attention , which makes O'Jr community much more vital. Thank you for sending me . (v) Council Member Woodward sa id I am going lo do the same thing and say thank you lo Council for the opportunity to go to Washington. D.C. and NLC . I also want to comment on the youth participation . I was really proud of our two young women who partic ipated . They were very outgoing and asked some very straight forward , pointed question s, to our representatives . They were very good questions . ii was very Impressive to see them interact with Senators and Representatives and part icipate in this large conference . I know they got a lot out of it and I do believe it is a once in a lifetime experience for somebody to do that. I hope we can do ii aga in next year . Mayor Wolosyn said before I turn ii over lo the City Manager's Report , I would like lo mentio,, the announcement that Bob Simpson is leaving the City . We will have plenty of time to congratulate him, as he is not done working yet. He has another month , but I am sorry to hear that he is moving on . I just wanted lo say thPI his work is appreciated . 13 . Ci ty Manager's Report (a) City Manager Sears said thank you Olga . I will pass that on to Bob . Counc il and staff feel the same way . We will be pullin g him lo work for the next month . (b) City Manager Sears sai d there was one other topic that we didn't get a chanc,, :o talf :bout at the Study Session. Steve Green grac iously stayed with us during the time . It Is a brief report , '" r.a has represented us with FEMA on the snow removal issues, along with M:'<e Flaherty, Deputy City Manager . I appreciate Steve being here just to give Council a real brief overview of our final numbers . Steve Green said very briefly , three months ago tonight we were in the midd 1e of the first of two major snow events that impacted the entire region . As a result, the Governor requested and was granted a Federal Declarat ion of a snow emergency . Whal a snow emergency does is ii allows us to recoup expenses from the Federal government that we have paid out for snow removal during that particular event. The event of Decembe r 18th through the 22"" was declared FEMA 3270 EMCO ... that particular snow event for wh ich we were eligible for reimbursement. We filed for re imbursement in mid-January and formed a committee of members from the City including Mike Flaherty, Dave Henderson, Steve Dazz io, Frank Grygl &wicz , Jeff Sanchez, Mike Paltarozzi, Jerrell Black, Mark Kottwitz , Dave Lee , Pat White , Dell Montgomery and Rick Kahm . Thes11 gentlemen met with FEMA, organized the information that was required for the filing and , as of March 1 s'" of this year, we were notified of an obligation by FEMA to the amount of $33,903 .82 . That obligation means that they will be sending a check to us through Arapahoe County and when it gets to the County it will be sent to us for reimbursement for our snow removal expenses . As a side note lo that, the people that I just mentlon~d were commended by Marjorie Cox, who Is the project officer who worked with us from FEMA . She said that they were very, very easy to work with, It was a pleasure working with the City of Englewood and accomplls~.lng the task that we Wf!re able to get through . I am very happy with the results of the whole thing . The amount that "'" came up with 'NBS a 48 hour period that started the beginning of Decomber 301" and anded al midnight on the 31". That wa, dec ided on as the most expensive 48 hour period within 10 days of that first snow event . FEMA Englewood City Council March 111, 2007 Page 12 reimburses us 75% of the amount of our exp~•1dilures of that time period and that Is how they camA up with the number they did . Mayor Wolosyn said thank you for slaying and thank you for all the work . CHy Manager Seara said I would like lo thank Sleva and the Fire Divis ion and Director Chris Olson for putting Slave in charge of this relationsh ip. You can see the team work between the different departments and we are lucky to have such good people working here . Council Member Barrentine said ii obviously takes the work lo Identify that period of time and max imize that recuperation ... racoup ing those funds ... so it is a lot of work . Thank you . 14.
