(a) Shelley Thompson, Englewood Hou1 lng Aulhorlty Cha ir, aald Dawn Shepholrd, Execullve
Director of Englewood Housing Aulhorlty, and Rodger Hara , a Vlce-cha lm,an of lhe Englewood Heuring
Authorlly are here with me tonight ... ao we are thrilled to be here . Th•~k you for giving me lt,a opportun ity to
l'ddress Iha Council. I em here to 1ub1lanllete and re-enforce lhe letter ,ieted Ma~ 8, 2006 from lhe
Englewood Housing Aulhor lty's Board requesting Iha Mayor and lhe City Council waive lhe pam,tt and
development fees of $1 ,450 .00 appllceble to the PUD for our proposed Senior Development, et the comer af
Highway 285 end South Pennsylvenle Street. I'm hoping end quite sure that Jim ha, been keeplrQ you updated
on our plans, but we are very excited to have a proposed development that Is a beautiful five story, 62 unit
res idence, which will be affordable to lower and moderate Income seniors . Currently, our senior hous ing
0 '1olces In Englewood are lim ited to the Meridian Retirement Community or Simon Center end Orchard Plre11
,d many sen iors , who wish to downs ize from single fam ily homes , find that they wlll >,eve ?.ssets or Income
exceeding the limits of subs idized housing but Inadequate for Meridian 's requ irements. So t~ey truly are falling
in that no-mans land between the two options . Our development wlll offer those sen iors en affordable option to
stay In their own r.ommun lly. Our developmen t will give Englewood sen iors the option of remain in g In
Englewood as they downsize out of lhe lr home r. end Into the ir next option. Our development will offer the added
benefit of aiding In the revitalization of the area .surrounding Swed ish Hospital and improving the landscape
along Highway 285 and we are thrilled to be able to play a part In this notable effort . The Board wishes to
reiterate our appreciation of our cooperative work ing relationship with the City . It really has bee n a pleasure .
And I think that II has really blossomerl under Dawn Shepherd , our current Execu tive Director . We are grateful
for your past partnersh ips as evidenced by the wa ivers you have prev iously approved for both the Simon Center
and Orchard Place . We sincerely hope that we can look forwarrl to your continued partnersh ip In this exc iting
new endeavor. Thank you very much for considering this request. Are there any questions or anyth ing else for
me this even ing ?
•
Mayor Wolosyn sa id do you have a timeUne on when you need to be notified after Council takes this under
adv isement? Ms . Thompson said let me defer to my Executive Director on that question . •
Dawn Shep herd , Directo r of the Englewood Housing Authority , said II would really enhance our application to
the Colorado Hous ing Finance Authority for Ta x Cred its that would he lp to subs idize this development. So that
application will be going in al the end of August. .. if we could know by then , ii would be greatly apprec iated .
Me ;or Wolosyn sa id oh yes , ii will be in plenty of lime for that.

Ms . Shepherd sa id yes , that is correct.
Ms . Thompson said th is kind of support from the City Is really a nlu , th ing to be able to ev idence when we are

mistake here . The other l11ue ... the City of Aurora ... Aurora 11 working really herd on becoming the City and
County of Aurora . And, I dtn't know W you guya heve thougM ebout that...the lmpllcatlon1 of that one . II that
happens and when that happens , Aurora will C1Jt Arapahoe County In haW geogrephlcally. Even more than
that...do they have 65 or 70 percan ? of the whole population of Arapahoe Cou~· 1? When they pull out and form
their own separate County that 11 going t.:> leave Centenn ial, Littleton, Englewo ', Sheridan and D-Trall as

11 . Ordlnanooa, RuoluHon1 and Motion,
Mayor Wolosyn said I would like to say before we get Into this section that the City Attorney's Office and the
Utilltlea Department has asked that we pull Agenda Item 11 (a) (II). There are some details they want to work
out on this agreament so that wlll becoming before us at another meeting .
(e) Approval or Ordinances on First Reading
(I) Director Gryglewlcz presented a recommendation from the Department or Fina nce and
Administrative Services to approve a bill for an ordinance amending the education requirements !or
refle xologlsts to allow an applicant a license if they possess a valid certificate from a state recognized
reflexology certification board . He said as Council knows, this Is a relatively recent ordinance . We have
gathered quite a bit of Input on this license and even In the short time that this license evolved, we have
changed the language Just slightly a couple or times to make this a little bit more Inclus ive. This would allow an
applicant with a certificate from a State recognized reflexology certification board to apply for and obtain a
license . I think this may affect one person that hes practlcod In the City under the supervision or a doctor so I
think this person Is more than quehfied. Anyone who would be certified under a Stele recognized boerd would
be qualified to pract;ce in the City or Englewood .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any questions for Mr. Gryglewicz . There were none .

for a number of departments and dlvl1lon1 . What often happens 11 unlil all Iha bill s are !n, W6 are really not sure
what Iha total expenditure number will be for Iha year end . In 1h11 case , In Iha General Fund , Iha entire
supplemental 11 $127,000.00 and that Includes from Iha Finance and Administrative Services Department , a
sales tax aud itor position (which I think you are aware of th is), that has paid more In the total expenditure , In
collect ions , that Iha pos ition has collected In 2005. Parks and Recreation got hit with a lot higher energy bills
and some ullllly costs . Public Works, of course, had a major Impact In ulll lly Increases In 2005 and Iha City
Manager's office had an unantic ipated salary Increase that was not In the original budget. So , those ~re the
General Fund Items . Unfortunately , we don 't know exactly how the year will end but we coma to Council , after
the books are closed , and have this approved by you . In the Public Improvement Fund, what happened here
was the revenues for that Fund have not bean qu ite as estimated but Iha Capital Projects Fund had a little bit
more money in Its fund balance , so this Is just a transfer to make that Fund whole. In the Donors Fund, there
was an unanticipated expenditure from Iha Forfe iture Board , which was approved by the Forfeiture Board, for
docu ni~a t scann ing . Thal was $48,400.00 . The Sewer Fund , because U-e construc tion schedule has gone
ahead belier than planned , they expended $2 .2 million more for the projec , than they have but the y made
progress on that and that was not antic ipated or budgeted for In 2005. The f,,,rv ice Center becausl' of incrense
cost of fue l, the y increased their Interdepartmental billings , but they also haa an increase In the ir cos, of fue ' ;~
2005 of $80 ,000 .00 that was not anticipated . And the Risk Management Fund had an increase of $27 ,00C.00
and !hat "'"• due to unan ti cipated excess property and liab il ity cla ims .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any questions for Mr . Grygie ••lcz. There were none .

(ii) Director Gryglewicz presented a recommendation from the Depa rt ment of Finance and
Adm inistrative Services lo approve a Resolution authoriz ing a supplemental appropriation to the 2006 Budget
for the Finance and Adm inistrative Services Department. He sa id this is a supplemental lo the 2006 Budget of
£35 ,000.00 to hire an Accountant II for half the year. Our Revenue and Budget Manager has been with the City
for quite some time and she Is go ing to retire In the fi rst quarter of 2007 . What we would like to do Is move
people lntema ll y Into those pos itions , but when you have someone with 20 plus yea rs of history with the City , we
would like to be able lo gather some of that knowledge and conduct some cross tra ining prior to making that
transi ti on . Th is would allow everybody lo move In, get cross tra ined and we will have a smooth transition In
2007 . As I noted In the Council Commun ication , this will only Increase the emp loyee coun t In Finance jus t for
half a year , and then we will go back to our normal count.
Mayor Wo losyn asked If there were any ques tions for Mr. Gryglewicz .
Counc il Member Woodward sa id I just want to menlloo that I recall that during the 200v Budget Retreat back In
September, we had discussed It. II was a li ne Item . II was al so an Item that Frank voluntee red to pull out , not
knowing what ou , financ ial situation was going to be, and I th ink that I had recommended , at that time , to leave ii
in and mark ii as one of those Items that could come out. So, I am certainly In support of th is Agenda Item (c)
(Ii ).

(Ill ) Director Gryglewicz presented a recommendation from the Department of Finance and
Adm inistrative Services to approve a Resolution authorizing a supplemental appropriation to the 2006 Budget
for Safety Services, Fire Division , to upgrade the LifePak 12 diagnostic equipment. He sa id you are probably
aware that we do quite a bit of transport of accident and other patients to the hospita ls. This Is to upgrade some
of the equipment that is used In those transport services . To be honest with you, I'm not sure exactly what
these do, so if you want the specifics ; we have Jim Ulrich back there who could tell you . The total supplemental
for th is is $14,837 .00 and as Jim had gi ven me a list, they are actually increasing some of the ir fees , wh ich
•
should more then cover th is expe nd iture . But, regardless of that , these are upgrades that can protect and save •
lives , so it is a needed upgrade that will help our citizens .

awards from 2004 and I think 2005 at the State House. I am going to go down with Herold Stitt for that In the
morning. I don't know If Darren 11 going but I know that he played e large part In getting this award .
(b) Council Members' Choice
(I) Council Member Barrentine :
1. She said I had a chance to spend a little bit more time In the downtown area and was just really
Impressed with a lot of the energy that Is going on down there . It Is nice to see the kind of things that UnDlcl Is
doing and the Truck Stop, the Auld Dubllner, and Table Steaks . But Broadway ... I had a chance to talk to the
gentleman who put a $100,000 .00 Investment Into what was the Broadway Grill which Is now George 's Grill and
Jerry's Artarama, just went In over there . I thir.i< we have some really good energy going on for this new project
that Is just around the comer on Acoma Street, that everybody Is very excited about. So I just wanted to tell
him, I don't think his name Is George, but I wanted to thank him . The Broadway Grill was not an exemplary
business on Broadway. It was something that people had complained about a lot and he is trying to tum that
Into more of a family venue and I got a nice tour there and I even fell comfortalile having my son there . He was
glad lo have done the remodeling and removed the motorcycle marks off of the floo r and I think that is really the
trend we are going to see start lo happen down in that area .
2. She said I wanted to bring up that Positively Englewood Is having their second annual golf tournament.
Thal will be on June 12'". There will be information In the Englewood Citizen .
(ii) Council Member Tomasso said I want lo thank the Police Department and the
Fire Department for the excellent job they did on the accident on Elatl two Saturdays ago, in their respons e lime
and how they handled the neighbors . The entire situation was really handled well and I would like to
congratulate them on that.
(iii) Council Member Woodward :
1. He said I want to make a motion to do a resolution to waive the $1,450.00 PUD fees that Shelley
Thompson and Dawn Shepherd had brought foiward here for the Englewood Housing Project. This is in
between the Meridian and Orchard and this is the type of project of affordable housing that seniors, In our
community, are looking for . Anything that we , as a City, can do lo support that, I am for and also be ing the
lia ison on that Committee, I have been very Involved with It.
Mayor Wolosyn said I have a question . Dan , Is II a resollllion that you would bring back? City Attorney
Brotzman sa id yes, II would be a resolution and then they can use that In all the ir processes .
Mayor Wolosyn sa id do we have a consensus on this vote? Council concurred ..
2. He said Thursday al the ACE meeting one of the members ... Kalie from the Chamber of
Commerce ... had announced that on September 9th there was approval for shutting down Broadway for Old
Town Merchants ~nd that, evidently, Laurell, you had helped and made that announcement at some sort of
meeting and the consensus al that particular mee\!.,g , of the members that were there, was that it was not a
good idea and how did we get there? My response was that It was the flrsl time I had heard about It. I didn 't
know anything about it. One of the things that I just want lo bring up Is with something like this, Isn't this
something that we had discussed back In January as lo our guidelines for Council and the appropriate venue
would be lo make II Council Request lo the City Manager, so all Council members are aware of what this type of
request would entail , which would certainly be Safely Services, Public Works and ....
Council Member Barrentine said are you asking me a question? Mr. Woodward said I am presenting II to
Council.
Council Memb er Barrentine said there Isn 't anything lo present unlll you know that you have an event. I am so
sorry, but hopefully in Iha future, you will feel comfortable lo come and talk to me before you bring II up In th is
kind of venue .

Council Member Woodward said I Intended to bring It up at Study Se11lon but. ..
Council Member Barrenllna said •;ou misunderstood . What we ware trying to do ... and It will be In the
Englewood Citizen , so I'm glad you brought It up ... , la an ~!fort to explore the po11lblllty of bringing back the
parade end the potential of bringing back maybe Englewood Daya ... , working on the Car Show that they had
last yesr . Right now there la no event to bring to Council. So, what Rick Kehm was asked was, la there a
polenllel , that We potential exists that we could go back to them and tell them that the potential exists to close
down Broadway , his answer was yea . Now, with that answered , then at least It could be explored whether we
can do en event. So there really Isn't anything to bring to Council yet, 10 I! la Just an exploratory thing, we are
trying to find out whether there was any Interest on the part of the businesses down there to share their events,
whether we could get any citizens Interested, what kind of •~argy wo could get going in an effort to not try and
stop that creativity and discussion . That was the first thing that was brought up . So you can 't bring up that
maybe there might be some time In the future an event and I'm really sorry that you didn't come and ask about
it. But I asked if the Chamber wou ld be lnterested ... they had already voiced en Interest In being part of the Car
Show , would they be Interested and I said we have at least got a comm itment that they would consider closing
down that two blocks of Broadway so until we havesomething to bring to Council ... , and I kind of have to object
to your bringing it up as if something was being done behind peoples back and It was not. I am sorry that you
perceived It that way, but that was not what was going on .
Council Member Woodward said what was said was, that ii was approved and It was presented . Ms . Barrentine
said I can't speak for the verbiage that somebody else used In speaking to you , but I already answered your
question as to how it was presented at the mHting ... Ilka It was a done deal , so I would suggest maybe you
may want to get with the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce . Mr . Woodward said Your Honor , she
is out of order, I believe .
Mayor Woiosyn :;,.Id okay , I will Ju st tell Katie that she obv iously got It wrong and I will take care of It.
Council Member Barrentine said that we are exploring th••· possibility of having an event that might include us
being able to close Broadway down .
Mayor Wolosyn sa id I will clear It up with Katie , thank you.
Council Member Woodward said well again , I request that maybe that should go through the City Manager and
then on to the rest of Council and then on lo tha appropriate departments . That's all . There is nothing else to
say Laurett . Ms . Barrentine said end I don't belleve ... that was not ever discussed that we couldn 't have ... Ms .
Wolosyn said we ... Ms. Barrentine said no, I have to object to the way ,is is being brought up ... ea If something,
some conspiracy is go ing on . People have every right to go ahead and explore the possibilities of whet they can
do, In order lo have an event that hasn 't happenod before and have conversations, without it all going through
the bureau cracy of the City. Those conversations can happen, free speech otill reins In Englewood, and we can
bring ideas without it going through some process of micromanaging . I do not believe that was ever the Intent.
Nor was It my la tent to do anything conaplratorlal, Jim . I hope that In Iha future, you will bring those questions to
me , so I can clet:i r It up.
Council Member Woodward said I was going to bring It up at Study Session , but as I said , we didn't have ;.,ne
and I wanted to bring It up .
Mayor Woiosyn said th is is where we like to dl1cu11 thing■ In an open forum .
Ms . Barrentine said my number la on there, 10 you can call me .

3. Ha said the only other Item that I had wa1 In the Councll lnfonmatlon that we received In the Nawalettar

Council 's Intention to construct certain municipal water distribution Improvements, and to 11tabll1h South
Sherid an Industrial Area Water Special Improvement Dl1trlct ... do you know anything about that or what that
means? I'm Just curious . I'm sure It has to do with their development, but how does It affects us?

Mayor Woiosyn said I just want to comment. Thank you, Jim , for bringing that issue up about ACE and than k
you, Laurett , for your comments . These things happen in a town ... by the time we hear of them , they sound like
lhey are law and th is is a good place to clear it up .
13 . City Manager's Report
(a) City Manager Sears said I just wanted to pass out the report that was finished by the
Commun ity De velopment Department on the Economic Development Retreat information . We will be happy to
send it to DRCOG , CML and other communities If you would like . ii is very expensive to put in the Citizen .
Right now the Cll izen is very full, so we basically are going to put In a piece within the Citizen that says this
information Is available ... a little bit of a review of that for citizens that were there . If Council would like us to put
it into the Citizen , we can actually pull together a cost , but I believe it is going to be pretty expens ive with the
colored piece . Ms . Wolosyn said I'm wondering though, can it go on the web? Mr . Sears sai d yes and in facl,
Bob has aclually put together the fu ll book ... the big book that you have . And the full book will now be put inlo
the web site and on a disc and the disc is go ing !o be made available . So , if you are interested in that book on a
disc , I jus t want to let you know that it is there. We are very happy to at least have that done.
(b) City Manager Sears said GML is coming up the first part of June, so if you are planning to go to
lhat, r;:I out the report and get that Information back in .
(c) City Manager Sears said tomorrow we have a staff budget review . The staff is coming together
lo really take a look at our budget and focus on outcomes that focus also on revenues and expend it ures so we
