Mayor Wolo1yn said I would like to begin by announcing that we had a Public Hearing schedu led tonight about
the Sheridan Redevelopment Project of our Golf Course , but because the City has not r,1celved and analyzed all
~• the Information we have requested from the developer, the Public Hearing is canceled for ton ight. We had
Oil\) person , Homer Dunn, signed up to speak at that Pubiic Hearing and I will move his name to th9

(c) Mark Swanson was not present.
(d) Chris Hoagland , 3041 South Franklin Street , sa id I am really glad that I was able to sit In on the
proceed ings this evening . I am proud to be a citizen of Englewood . I've worked In the alarm industry tor 18
1·ears and I recently had the opportunity to read the City's Internet posting about their new alarm policy and I
have a couple of concerns about that. wh ich I was hop ing to present to you this even ing . Essenllally , the
Internet posting describes two bas ic areas that the City Is go ing to change how II processes burglar alarm
signals . The first hall of the posting, bas ically , discusses ver ification procedures that the City Is going to
implement to try to reduce or eliminate human error and mechan ica l problems with alarm systems . In the first
Instance , the City Is going to require the verilicE'lon by a call to the prem ises to see ii somebody Is on site that
has got a password, so that a simple error by a user doesn 't resu lt In a dispatch . And. addll lonally , the City
proposes three ,ypes of phys ical verif icat ion and !hat the alarm signal won 't be respondec to unless there are at
least two dev ices that are Involved In causing the alarm or a video or aud io verification or. finally, corroboration
by an una!liliated th ird party. And I th ink that thos e are all to the good . I think those can be effect ively
implemented at no or very modest cost to alarm system users and they should dramat ically reduce the false
alarm exper ience that the City has . My concern relates , primar ily, to the second part of the proposal. which is
how the police will be dispatched in response to alarms both verified and unver ified . And my read ing of the
in ternet posting , bas ically , Indicates that the City will no longer be dispatching a part icular ollicer to an alarm, but
rather "broadca,ting the alarm " and at that po int in time , ii an ollicer is available and is inclined to respond to the
alarm , then an Jllicer will respond . My content ion is that that, tor all practic al purposes, is a non -response
pol icy . Ancl wt-al I would li ke lo try to encourage the City to do is , since they are implementing some very
su t stant ial ve rification procedures , lo continu e with their current pract ice of dispat ching an ollicer to an address
that has an ala.r m and wait and see if perhaps the stat istics don 't greatly improve, as a result of the verif ic at ion ,
before they go to what I would regard as be ing a rather draconian non-response . Now it Is poss ible that I have
•
simply mis read the internet posting and I am sure that that is not a comprehensive discuss ion of the po lice •
polic y, but th at is how it reads to me and I would reall y be concerned if I were a citizen that really does rely on
an alarm sys tem to protect the ir home while they are working during the day or a business that , you know , is
unocc upi~d at night. You know, a lot of people really re ly on alarm systems to protect the ir property . I have
been a long standing advocate of responsible al1rm uses and I work very hard with my customers to make sure
that the ir equipment wor ks well and they are ec1ucated and informed on ho w to use it. I try to use the eas iest
equipment that I can. I want to do everything I can to prevent false alarms and I th ink my results show ii. I thi nk
I have excellen t fa lse alarm statist ics . They inev itably happen , in sp ite of everyone 's best efforts . I '.hink it really
would create a si!uation that could be very dangerous to property owners , ii the City were to go ahead as th is
proposal ind icates . Than k you very much.
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you Mr . Hoagland . I would like to add that on April 3~ Council will rev isi t th is and that
th is new pol icy will not be implemented until Coun ci l rev isits II. And all of the thing s that we are hear ing , such as
your remarks , are apprec iat ed and will be addressed aga in on April 3''.
Mr. Hoag land sa id I would certainly be happy to volunteer any lime that you might find useful . I have quite a bit
of experience in th is field and if there is anything I cou ld ott er in terms of background or knowledge or whatever ,
plea se feel tree to call on me . Thank you .
Mayor Wolosyn sa id thank you very much .
7 . Recognition of Un1chedufed Publfc Comment
(a) Don Ramer , 3720 South Lipan , said we have four un its on Lipan down there. We have an
automotive repair facility and remanulacturing business and also a fabrication facil ity . He said th is is my
partner , Jim Murray of the same address. We started a bus iness here In Englewood In July of 2004. We
bas ically have a very quiet bus iness . We do a tremendous am ount of repa ir work tor the federal government as
tar as U.S. Marshals . We do Comcast Cable ... we do a lot of what we call municipality and fleet , government
types of veh icle repa ir. Up to about the first 9 or 1 o months of our operat ion of bus iness , we ha'Je had an
extremely ... ! would say ... very good ne ighborhood . Since that lime , we have had a large Increase In vandalism
and destruction of property to our bus iness result ing in thell of art icles and automob iles ... random damage to
them in exce ss of thousands of dollars . Since that ti me , we also share some of the same concerns about th is

P■gel
new policy that may be Implemented regarding re1ponae . We have had no lalae alarms In our bu1lne11es .
However, we are concerned about thla, because H thla w11 to go forward, that would )uat glv,; the crlmlnala
more time to get Into the building and Inflict more damage before aomaone could get out :;,ere and do anyth ing.
I think that needs to be addressed or looked at , probably a little bit more thoroughly, In our opinion . We have
also had a tremendous amount ol activity at the and ol our street , which the ~nglawood Police Department Is
doing their best to try to alleviate, but, apparently, we have had a business that moved Into the and ol Lipan and ,
from what we understand, thla buslnaas has been booted from the City ol Sh~ridan , because ol problems that
Sheridan had with them . We are concerned, and all the area business owners on Lipan are also concemed,
because since they have moved Into our neighborhood, our crime has just skyrocketed . What II appears to be
is a chop-shop and we are real concerned and would like to have the City look into th is. There has been drag
racing on the street , which Iha City ol Englewood has also triad to clamp down on . These people have bean so
bold ... lhey are only about live blocks from the Englewood Police Department...and they have even had time lo
set up lights on top ol the building , including a Christmas tree, to start drag racing with. We have done
everything on our end to alleviate II and now we are trying to come to the City and say ... in order tor our
businesses to stay down In that corridor, we are going to need some help . And II we can't get II addressed a
little bit more formally and get it under control , we are going to be forced to move our businesses . There are
already vacant buildings behind us now . That also is causing problems . People are not wanting to mo•1e into
these businesses . Vacant bu ildings left tor long periods ol time are a haven tor people to sit in those parking
lots and also become a little bit more criminal and this Is what we are see i;1g . So , we wanted just a tew minutes
ol your time . We wanted to thank the Englewood Police Department lr,r what they are doing , but we are In
hopes that maybe !he City Council will take a look into this and pos~ibly even the corr idor where the light ra il
is .. have even had some issues with the light rail, where people have come from downtown . We had one
gentleman who was literally almost beat to death and he crawled 01• of light rail, came Into our place ol business
alter hours and had to be removed by the paramed ics, t ecause he was bleeding all over our floor . The reason I
am telling you this is because we have a big problem down on Lipan and it needs to be looked at. .. and also
Windermere . So , if you guys have any extra funds this year, we would like to open our business up and see ii
there is something we can do to help . We want to stay and we want to see if we can make a big impact In that
corridor , but we are going to need help.
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you . She said I would just like to ask Chris ii we could have a little more information
about th is situat ion in our packet. I know that I had a letter about it.
Director Olson said we will do some more research on it. Obviously, as he indicated , we are doing extra patrols
and other things down there right now, but this Is the first time that II actually has come up where this has been ,
as tar as I know , a significant problem that I am go ing to have to deal with . So, we will continue on with it. II is
going to involve , obviously, some more targeted enforcement kinds ol situations and we will see ii we can work
on that and we will work with them , as we have been doing .
Council Member Woodward said what hundred block was that? Director Olson sa id 3700. Mr. Woodward said
okay .
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you .
(b) Peter Jones , 3133 South Bannock Street, said I also have some concerns about the alarm
policy . I have lived In Englewood tor almost 1 O years and have had an alarm system tor that entire time . I have
had two diflerenl alarm companies that I have worked with . I, as well as the two alarm companies I've worked
with , have been very concerned about false alarms . T;1Jt Is my first concern , !rankly , ~ ,ving Englewood Pol ice
respond lo false alarms , especially when I hear these horror stories about companies that don 't do verification .
That really boggles my mind . I can't imagine a company not doing that. I, and the companies !hat I have
worked with , have worked extensively to avoid false alarms . We have been vary responsible 11sers al the
system. In tact, I wrote a letter ol apology to the Englewood Pollcf, Chief , some years ago, wh,in I actually did
have a false alarm and the police had to come out. I was initially concerned about the kind ol tNo tr ig ger policy ,
or whatever you want to call it , where you actually havP to have a motion detector and a door alarm go all, or
something like that. II seemed that was kind al like asking a crim inal to put on a show ... to wave at all the
motion detectors or something, before they left. But having consulted with my alarm company ... they don't seem
very concerned el> ,ut that particular thing ... ! will trust his judgment on that. I guess, again, the thing I am
Englewood City Council
February 6, 2006
P1;a 10
concerned about la the apparent discretion that la being granted to police olflcera and alter we are jumping
through all these hoops, II this policy becomes a reality, to then say, okay then we will follow up II we feel like
lt...you know, II we are In the ne ighborhood, which seems to me to be wholly Inadequate. It kind of puts all the
other efforts in vain, basically. II we are making the efforts to make talae alarms a minority, then the alarm, that
pass through that narrowing schism, oug ht to be taken seri ously, I think, by the police olllcar$. I am encouraged
very much by the tact that you are requiring the notification system to coma 1:ito play ... that they would have to
call and actually verily that it is not a talse alarm . I think tha t 1:one . as Chr is was saying, I think that In ~nd of
Itself , would likely prevent a large number of false alarms . False alarms are part of the deal , II you have an
alarm system you really can't avoid having some false alarms and I have had a lot of them , but the percentage
that actuallv went through to the police , Is actually very, vary small , because most ol them ... l trip the alarm , I
walk in too late, I trip the motion detector , I get a call trom my alarm company, I give the password and the
police are never Involved In the process . So , I mean I can 't Imagine ii all my false alarms had gone through to
the police , that would be an amazing problem, but the tact that I have always had a responsible alarm company ,
that has never been the case . I will say In conclus ion, that I just hope that respons ibl~ alarm companies and
responsible users of alarms are not penalized by kind of a knee -jerk, broad-brush policy that kind of presumes
that we are all irresponsible, because I'm as bothered by false alarms as anyone, because when I see them
happen, I know tha l I don't want to be the alarm owner who cried wolf . I take it very, very seriously. I hope that
the Counc il, when they make their decis ions and the police when they construct policy , will take into
consideration that there are a lot of us out here who really do wanl to be part of the solution and not the
problem . Thank you .

What I wish to speak about is the no ise these Harley -Davidsuns make starting about 9 o'clock In the morning on
the weekends . My apartment laces out to Broadway. From 9 o'clock in the morning until bar-closing , all you
hear all day is rmmm-rmmmm ... packs of them going up and down Broadway. Now they are so loud that they
set ott car alarms of the cars parked In the lots nearby or those parked on the streets. So alter they go by , you •
hear weoooo-weoooo -weoooo . I hate to give sound ellects, but from 9 o'clock in the morn ing until bar-clos ing ,
lhat is all we hear ... especially when the weather is good , there are about 40 ... they are all out . And , with the
summer com ing they are going to be out every day ... almost." Some come up through the neighborhood and my
windows shake . I represent the tenants at Simon Center and they complain too . So , are you working on more
ordinances to get the no ise controlled from these Harleys?
Mayor Wolosyn said this is one of those issues that I am going to ask Direc;tor Olson about. We do have no ise
ordinances , right? Directo , Olson sa id yes , we do ... we have noise ord inances, that is correct . The dilliculty is
in the enforcement side and it is literally having to determine the decibel level where the no ise ord inance would
kick into play . I understand the ir concern . It is a problem . it is a problem throughout the melropolitan area. I
know down in Loda and so forth , it is a major problem down there, but , literally , the ditticulty is of an officer being
in proximity and .. it is go ing to have to be a pol ice ollicer ... not just a code enforcement ollicer . A police officer
is going to have to be in some sort of prox imity to where these folks are , have a meter to determine the decibel
level and then determine whether it violates the City's no ise ordinance , which in itself is a relatively minor
violation and the City Attorney could probably confirm that. But we do have an ordinance in place , it literally is
the enforceability side of it.
Mr . Craft said okay, it is just very annoying , especially in the summer .
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you and we will keep aoreast of it. Mr. Craft said thank you .
(d) Doug Cohn , 3051 South Marion Street , said I wanted to talk about two things real quickly
tonight . The first one Is , Positively Englewood . That is a business and cit izen group that I have been connected
with tor a little wh ile. Last year they gave away a number of bicycles and they did a charity Goll Tournament at
the Englewood Goll Course . I would like to use this time to Invite you all to our sec ond annual Pos itively
Eng 1ewood Charity Goll Tournamen t. it will be at the Englewood Goll Course on Monday , June 121". It starts at
8 :00 a.m. It sounds like, at least tor awhile , this summer will be the last time we play golf over at the Goll
Course until the new system is set up over there ... so, I would like to invite you all to come . The money ra ised
will be donated to the Recreation Center to provide passes tor kids who want to use the Center or want to
participate in team sports and can't afford the bills . So , the Pos itively Englewood guys are going 10 donate the

money to the Recreat ion Center programs . So, for all of ou on the City Council and the City staff and you ell In
the audience who play that evil game , we would like to hit~ you to come on June 12~ and partic ipate with us .
We will have more details com ing soon . The second thl ny 11 one of the other th ings I ran Into on the campaign
trail during the campa ign for City Counc il. .. ld-Jnthy the ft. Ptobably every one of you In your employment and
even In the City here has gone to at least on, r.or,ference on Identity theft. Why Is It not a crime In Colorado to
steal someone's ID? f honestly don 't know the an5 wer to that. It feels almost li ke ... those three little
statues ... hear no evil , see no evil, and speak no r,,.:;, Na !lonally , as the Republicans run the th ing and I'm not
sure which one of those three the Republicans a r0 , b•i' :11 the State of Colorado nothing has been done and so I
guess I am encourag ing you all to look hard at do ing s, .. t,ath lng about the Identify theft problem. And, I realize ,
aa a City, that the book we could throw at them would be a very small book . I th ink this could be a shot heard
around the country by just tak ing a stand and seying we are not go ing to do that here . II you try to hurt
somebody In the City of Englewood , even though we have a really small stick , we will hit you with it. I would like
to encourage you to consider mak ing identify theft a primary offense here In Eng lewood . Thanks for your time .
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you Doug .
(e) Homer Dunn , 3430 South Pennsyl vania , sa id I am here :; ; ,;,. alr · 1 tt· 9 go lf course . Where
people pay from $10 ,000 .00 to $300 ,000 .00 to have a g~lf course In the ir M i~hbtrl,wd, we've got one of the
finest Par 3's In the State and we have the greens ... finally alter about 2 ye ur o .. where they are fit to play on .
We 've got r, good greens keep,,r. I can 't imagine Englewood givi ng up the G,,,1 Course, because it will be the
last one we will ever have ... bec,•use somebody wants it to bu ild a bunch of s:ores or apartments on it...l don 't
know . Bu t the way f look at ii, the ool~ :cc.,son they want the Golf Course is bee .use he wll: sell the rights, the
piece of paper to them for millions ol dollars and he will retire and go live in Florida . And if they don 't hold on to
that Golf Course , th is Council , if they had the right to vote on ii, should re ti re if they vote fo r it. That is all I've got
to say. They haven 't gol the Englewood heart. if they do away with that Goll Course .

(a) Approval ot Ordinances on First Reading
(i) Director Gryglewicz presented a recommendation from the Finance and Administrative
Services Department to adopt a Bill for an Ordinance amending the transitional period for the Reflexologlst
License. He said back In 2005, November 11 '", the Council passed Ordinance No. 54, which added the
reflexolog y license to the Cc.de. As you know , we had a number of meetings with reflexologists and peopl~
working in the Ci ty and at the time when we looked at the educational requirements we thought that thay m,,de
sense and it would be easy for them to get their experience requirements. But, after a little bit of time and
pracllcality, they realized that they thought that it would be easy for one JI the providers to be able to provide the
In -class training . That proved to be a lot more dif!lcult than we realized . So, the two reflexologists practicing in
the community would have had to start, basically, over again with another course , which included classroom and
hands-on. So we thought, most of these people have worked In the City for quite a bit of time, have much more
hands-on experience than Is required in the license and what we are recommending Is that we, basically, waive
that portion ... the hands -on portion of the educallonal requirement and allow thoso two people, that pract iced In
the City on September 1, 2005, to go ahead and be licensed and then all others going forward would be
raqulred to have that full in-class and practical experience that is In the license as passed in November 2005 .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any questions .
Council Member Woodward said • o basically we are grandfathering those two in? Director Gryglewlcz said ~es .
Mr. Woodward said and there are only two? Mr. Gryglewicz sa id there are onti• two that I know of and I believe
that Is the only two . They would have to prove that they worked In the City at that time and had all the other
qualifications. Mr. Woodward said okay ... one is Shirley Friend and there la another one down on South
Broadway In about the 3800 block? Mr. Gryglewlcz said yes and she has, actually, been licensed as a massage
•
•
iheraplst for qulle a period here, but she actually does mainly reflexology. but she doesn't have that In-class for •
the reflexology. So we felt that In all fairness, we want to keep them working here In the City, that this would
work for everybody. Mr. Woodward said okay.

things v.e voted on was new lighting at th& Recreation Center . I want to commend stall and oiler
congratulations . tor the upgrading of the lighting and the tact that we are increas ing energy savings . You know
that Is good for our b•Jdget . but also good for our Country really.
(ii) Mayor Wclosyn said a couple of weekends ago , I spoke at the Meridian to a Men 's
Breakfast Club . They gave me a veal perspective on the community . One thing they asked about was our new

radios and they had a great Interest , of course, in what Is going on at the Denver Seminary . I was able to give
them a good report thanks to staff and they also were very interested In the Parks Plar.. And, they love, love,
love the Art Shuttle and want it to go to Kaiser .
(b) Council Members' Choice
(I) Council Member Barrentine said I am really sorry that Doug Cohn left , because I just
had a resolution, after almost a year, of dealing with an identity theft. And, he is incorrect...identity theft is
illegal. II is proving it that might be difficult. It was brought up at a ne ighborhood watch meeting , Sergeant
Schellpfeffer did a beautiful job in pr;;,vid ing Information. And I also went to a meet ing ... the Arapahoe Count y
Sheriff has a task force work ing on ,1 and they handed out informat ion on dea li ng with that as wel1. The
unfortunate part ... and tha legislation just passed th is last year ... is that you hava to be able to prol'e it, while
those instruments you need in order to prove it , don't necessarily come to you . They are going to someone else
or a collection agency. I was able to work with the Distr ict Attorney, Carol Chamburs , who did a wondertul job
wiIh the Judic ial 18th bad check writing organization, to try to turn these back over to the police , so that they can
be invest igated. I had nothing but cooperat ion from everyor.e .. .from Vince Atenc io in talking to him about what
was going on , because one of !he checks had been wrille n in Englewood and I was able to find that out...and
Chris Olson has been very interested and been on top of it. And so I th ink that they gave a presentation at the
Neighborhood Watch . I think they are very on top of whal is go ing on and they knew about the legislation right
away and they told me what things I would need to collect in order to have that happen. Fortunately, f hope it
has been taken care of, but it has nothing to do with my account or my name or my address , so quite honestly I
wouldn't have bsen able to prove identity theft , because they never commilled a cr ime against me . But it is still
illegal and I th in!< Englewood is doing a beautiful job . They were very up to date on it and they were culling
edge a year ago when they did that presentation . I know that Jim Woodward was at that one as well and I th ink
•
they have done an excellent job. So , I'm sorry that he didn't slay , because an awful lot has already been done •
and they have focused on that. I appreciate them in keeping up with me on wh at was going on with me too .
Some additional leg islat ion is being looked at in order to try to help the people that fall into these categories , bet
it is very difficult. All these people had to do was put my name on a check with some number . It wasn't even a
real account. So , qu ite honestly, it is a matter of what the businesses are go ing to do and how they are go ing to
crack down. It is kind of open ended, but it can really hapµen to anybody and you don't even need trash to go
through or loose a purse to have it happen. But, I can 't speak highly eno ugh of the Arapahoe County Sheriff
and our Poli ce Department and what they have done over the last year on th is. I'm sorry he left, but I will try to
pass that along to him.
(ii) Counc il Member Mccaslin:
1. He said I was hopi ng Mr. Cohn would stick around .
2. He said we did have a meeting wilh the School District and the City Counc il last week , which I thou ,;~t
was very, very pos iti ve and hopefully w~ will get more done through the School District and the City Council , out
we wil' deal with that later .
3. He said I just read~ newspaper drt icle .. .it was on the front page of the Rocky Mountain News on
Saturday ... about code enforcement in ot!>ar cities . About how citizens are really wanting us to buckle down , so
I don't know wherr• we stand on that. I know our City has done really well as far as code enforcement. I just
hope we keep up our standards and don 't allow a few of the citizens to co;~e in and allow us to have less
standards than we really need. I am on Keep Englewood Beauliful , so ho ~efully I can have some direction
there .
(Ii i) Counc il Member Moore sa id I just would like to empathize with Mr. Craft who spoke
aboJI the Harleys . It is unfortunate that it is clear there is a problem , that we have laws to deal with the
problem , but we jus: don 't have a practical way to deal with It. I have looked Into th is Issue before and got •
convinced that there Is not a solution , but still hold 0 1 to a hope that one day we will find one ... by whatever kind
of creative means . I remamber from one of the last reports we had on the Harley issue, that part of the problem
is that the laws are ... if I am correct...how they come out of the factory is fine and II is the modification; that are
done afterwards that are almost impossible to distinguish . II makes it a very difficult problem for enforcement

and alao having to monitor. Tne problem la common senae though, when your eara tell you tM µroblem Is real .
I Juat 11111 hope one day, maybe even while I am still here on Council, we will find some kind of aol ulion that will
work lta way to the top . I appreciate the p. oblem, but I also very much appreciate Mr. Craft's concerns . Thanks .
(Iv) Council Member Tomasso said on Friday Jerry's Artarama opened In the old Guys and
Dolls facility on South Broadway. We now have a professional art supply store on Broadway , so I expect to see
the rest of the Council start moving in that direction. Thank you .
(V) Council Memb•r Woodward:
1. He said I Just want to second what Leurett had said and I guess make ii a th i•~ for what Bob had said .
2. He said also Neighborhood Watch ... put on by the 18th Judicial fJlstrict ... a wt'11 9 sao·,,nar on ID theft ,
which I came back to Council and recommended that the City provide ii for its :,mp ,,,,J,~ ; think alter the first
one ii was so popular that they provided the second one, so I would suggest tha1 v,~ a,• Joh•r, quite a bit In less
than a year regarding ID theft. ID theft Is a major problem througho ut the country ... ! think I ,ruughout the world
right now and I think we are certainly doing our part .
3. He snid I just wanted to congratulate Stu and the Littleton /Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant for
their Ste.ta approvals as per this letter .
