Recognition of Schedulod Public Comment Englewood City Council July 10, 2008 P1g12 (a) Doug Cohn , an Englewood res ident, said thanks for th is opportunity to talk to you all . Last year , about this time , some merchants came and talked with City Coun cil about having a Car Show here In Englewood . We hadn't done one downtown for a long time . At that point , we asked you for the use of the park ing lot on Lincoln Street and the loan ing of the trolley car and the old fire truck end the ambulance as antranl.s In the car show . We asked for some barricades to block off the park ing lo t and the Public Works guys , the street division, offered to sweep the park ing lot before the car show . And , you graciously helped us and we had a good car show last year . This year there are a number of Englewood res idents who are do ing most of the planning for the car show . The business guys are taking a second cha ir this lime and offering their assistance . These are guys right here In town who want to put the car show together. We would like to use the same lot we used last year on Lincoln Street but In addition , we need to ask for some more help . In your packet , the part labeled 6 a, there are some e-mails that were exchanged , back and forth , between myself, Bob Simpson, Brook Bell and Ladd Vos L-y about concerns hav ing to do with the car show . I would like to talk real quickly about those . On that 11st, number one , the Acoma lot that the City has a deal with Cen tex about and the vacant lot right beside my store at 3421 ... we would really like to put the antique tractors In that lot and have a monster truck in the vacant lot right on the corner . The problem that we have is tha t the City is in negotiations right now with the Centex guys and the closing Is coming up here at some po int along the way . Whal I ·v ould really like to have happen ... my first • cho ica ... would be that you all put off the clos ing until the 11 '" of cieptember and then the City would own the lot on September 9,., Then you all cnuld say yes on the use of the parking lot and the vacant lot on the corner . Add itionally , there are some things that we need your ass istance with . We would li ke to borrow or rent the recreation show wagon . We are going to have live music at the car show and it would be real handy to have a place, just in case it ra ins . So that is one of ou r requests ... can we either borrow the show wagon or can you rent it to us? Last year you loaned us some ba rricades to restrict access to the parking lots. Th is year we would like to borrow the barricades as well. We wou ld like to rent the Cherrelyn Horse Car as a free shuttle bus that would run back and forth on Englewood Parkway . The fellows that bring the tractors ... bes ides having the antique tractor ... each tractor comes w;th a pickup truck and a trailer. We are work ing right now on fi nding some large open parking spaces and we would use the shuttle bus back and forth down this way som ewhere . I've talked with • the guys at the ban , an d the fellows over at the Phar-Mor Center and we are negotiating right now to find some place for the trail ers 10 park . We also would like to place an ad ... an insert ad ... in the September/October Englewood Citize n ne wspa per . I don 't think I have ever seen one and don 't even know If that can be done but one of the ways th al ,1 seem s like if we get tile word out to the res idents here in town would be to put an advert is ement in the Citizen . I don't know who to as k abou t that but I would apprec iate it if you could give us some Idea on that. If the price isn 't too high , we will buy an ad . One of the big challenges is the traffic and the pedestr ians on Broadway . We have been wrestling back and forth ... our first thought was to close a block of Broadway and then the second thought was , well we can leave one lane of Broadway open in each direction . In the supplementary mater ial you got In 6 a, Mr . Vest ry suggested that if we wanted to keep a lane going in each direction, we would need to put In concrete barricades for barriers between the pedestrians and the cars and that would cost us $17,000 .00. He said it wou ld be cheaper to close the street. The challenge we have ... the merchants on Broadway are not a bit lnterestad In having the street closed, so th is is a difficulty , as the orga nizing comm ittee, we don 't ha ve worked out yet. We need to ge t bac k to you on that one Issue. In some of the r otes , there was a concern expressed about the security dur ing the show and the one group of guys who are work in g with us In the organ izing comm ittee is the Hood lum Car Club . Isn 't that a great name for a car club? And the Hoodlums are going to have some of their members that will dress In different colored shirts that will prov ide guest services ... ! guess we will ca ll them ... and security . We would li ke to also use both the banner locations ... one down In the 3400 block and one down in the 2800 block ... and stretch banners across the street. We would like you also to waive the fee o~ putting the banners up on the poles. And just the one last th ing, we would like permiss ion to have the old fire truck and the old ambulance entered again th is year In the car show . They were both a big hit. But we did have some th ings we need to have you guys cons ider and we would like your ass istance In these matters. I think that Is all I have to say . Thank you . Mayor Wolosyn said thank you Doug and I will put th is under Mayor's Choice at the end of the meeti ng, thanks . Mr. Cohn said than k you . 7. Recognition of Un1cheduled Public Comment • • • Englewood City Council July 10, 2001 P1g13 (a) Mark Craft, an Englewood resident, said I would like to thank our City Council person, John Moore, for donating the flag to our bulldlng ... the Simon Center . II looks very nice and Dawn Shepherd cen testily to that too . All the residents are very proud and very thankful for It. Mayor Woiosyn said thank you. (b) Bob Farris, an Englewood resident, sa id I'm one of the buslneas owners work ing on the car show . We have put quite a bit of time Into getting all the logistics set up so that we have , bas ically, a good running model of what Is going to happen on September 9~. It Is two days before the 5th anniversary of Saplember 11 th• We are still working on getting an M1 Abrams Tank . This is a big proJect ... 11 is probably not going to happen , so we might work with some of the smaller tanks ... the civilian owned units In town . This Is something we need to start working on, with the City, to bring more people Into Englewood . We have a really great little town here ... old treas and high priced houses ... it means we have a pretty good community . We hava a difference of opinion among some of the business owners, up and down Broadway, about closing Broadway off or not , or what we can do as far as closing It down to one lane of traffic in each direction . Some of those th ings are Just the basic logistic problems that we are going to have to work on . This Is something that I think is going to benefit the business owners and the community by bringing new people In and letting them know that we are a pretty good litUe community down here . We started working with 7-Up as a sponsor ... we are looking at other sponsors too, so this is not something that is Just going to be a small little unli. We are actually working with some of the bigger people , hopefully . We haven 't gotten a hold of Burt Chevrolet yet, but we would like to gel them Involved In this thing . My other large business owners In Englewood that would like to be Involved with a real Englewood program, this Is something they can start help ing with . But we do want to put our two-cents worth out there for this thing . We really want this to go . Last year It was a pretty good little unit for a small car show . This year It is going to grow a little bit bigger . Over the years, this might grow to be something that is going to be a big draw to the City of Englewood . You know you have to start kind of small sometimes , but ii looks like it could grow into a pretty good sized unit. We could have as many as 500 cars or, if we wanted , 3,000 cars . Cars ... really that Is kind of the smallest part of th is. I think everything is starting to come together pretty good and If we can get the support of the City Council on th is thing , I think It is going to be good advertisement for the City and the community In general. Mayor Wolosyn said thank you . (c) Ted Vasilas, an Englewood resident and bus iness owner, sa id last year we had the car show some time in July. Unfortunately, II was about 100 degree weather that day , but II was very successful . We had a lull parking lot of nice cars. We had a lot of people atten1 the show, but we never closed Broadway. I represent most of the merchants on South Broadway In the 3300, 3400 and 3500 blocks . I received five or six calls today and about lour or five calls on Friday ... everybody opposes the closing of Broadway during the car show . I am talking about myself right now and Kaufman 's, the Surplus Store , Wagner's, Edwards Tobacco , and Brian , who Is here tonight. We do most of our business on Saturdays . We are deslin&,ion businesses . We receive customers from all over Denver and the Colorado area . When people come and they cannot come to oar stores ... okay, they leave and It takes them about three to six months to come back, so we don't want to lose our Ir.come that day . We are for the car show . I would like to ask the City Council to consider giving us a permit to do a car show, but we have to find a way to work a car show us ing both iols ... the west parking lot of Broadway and the east park ing lot of Broadway . We have plenty of pa•Mng lots , plenty of parking . We would ask Public Works and the Police to make special signs for that day to say :;pacial Event-Speed Limit 15 mph or 20 mph, whatever is lair ... to allow the Public Works and the Police to be able to control the pedestrians and the traffic. I appreciate the guys who volunteer to bring the cars, beca use last year I had to write the checks three times from my business to support the car show , because we had to pay about $1 ,800 .00 for the guy who brought the cars to our area . But this year, local guys have volunteemd . They said they don 't want any money ... thal they will bring the cars. Thal is really nice and we appreciate that. We want the car show, but please do not close Broadway. So, we have lo find a way lo have a car show and I appreciate the guys who are willing \o bring the ir cars and work with us . But , we don't want to Interrupt our business for the whole Saturday. Thank you . • Mayor Wolosyn said thank you Ted and thank you for your suggestion. 8.

Thank you . Mayor Wolosyn asked Is there anyone else who would like to spea k at the Pub lic Hearing . I recognize a lot of faces . Tom Bums , an Englewood resident , said I just want to say a few words In support of the BID . Several years ago when I was In office, we put about four and a half million dollars Into South Broadway from Yale down to 285 . And I remember when I was in office, people used to ask me when I drive down Broadway how do I know when I leave Denver and get to Englewood? And now, you can reah, tell. There Is a great difference In the streetscap lng, the layout, In the center medians and there Is a sign of course and the leaves of grass, which frankly I like , And there have been a lot of synerg istic Improvements on South Broadway with the catalyst program and I congratulate Darren and 1he City on a recent DRCOG award on that. A"d th is cooperation between the bus iness community and the City, I th ink has been rather remarkable. Gary told me a few days ago that there Is another plan to go beyond 285 .. .further south on Broadway ... to Improve that area too . So, I llke the Idea because the business community has worked on It themselves and the people that are speak ing here ton ight and have been here really have to be congrutuleted . They put e years worth of work Into th is, es Ted just sa id, they really put a lot of effort into this and they ~re doing It themselves ... they are taxing themselves and I th ink that Is a great synergy for the City. In the sp irit of dovelopment , I might also add as an aside , I was In my office th is afternoon with a commercial real estate broker and he was talking about the T-Rex project and all of the development opportunitles ... at Arapahoe Road and the other areas and Hampden ... of these trans it oriented Englewood City Council July 10, 2008 Pae•• projacta are popping up along there and ha talked about FaaTrack111 well.

None Council Member Barrentine Mayor Wolosyn said thank you Jeff. (Iv) Director Ingle presented a recommendation from the Department of Information Technology to approve , by motion, an Integrated Procurement Agreement with Alllrls, Inc . for the purchase and implementation of a Help Desk, Inventory and Network Client Management software application . Funds in the amount of S65,000 have been budgeted for this purpose . He said before Council ls an Integrated Procurement agreement with a firm called Altirls for the purchase of a software application that, as noted In the Council Communication, essentially brings autom at ion to the IT Department. As Council is aware, we have spent a significant amount of resources and staff time over the past four years Implementing major new technologies In the City and that was based on an Information Technology Plan adopted by Council In 2002 . Included In that was the procurement of the system that is before Council and because of competing priorilies, we ere only Just now getting to the point where we In the IT Department are ready to add some major new automation tools for our operations . As noted In the communication, we have targeted funds in the amount of $65 ,000 .00 for this . The contract is for $60,000 .00 . We went through a formal procurement process looking for different products and found that this application , not only was far less expensive , from a capital and operating perspective, but also met our different operating needs within the department. II includes a Help Desk application to help us manage what we estimate to be between 8,500 and 9,500 different requests that come to the IT Department every year. II includes an Inventory application that will get us away from a lot of manual processes in terms of tracking our legal compliance with software contracts, as well as our hardware inventories of the City and ii Includes a Client Management application which essentially allows us to better manage almost 500 netv.ork devices throughout our computer network ... our anterprise ... including personal computers for deploying applications , for making sure that the most up lo dale security patches are on them ... all of which Is currently a very time consuming and intensive process ... a manual process for our staff. As more and more automation is added to the City, we believe this will make us more efficient and also make us more effective in terms of avoiding staffing pressures as we add more and more technology and processes . By automating our own functions , as the automation department In the City, we think we will do a much better Job . Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any questions . There were none . COUNCIL MEMBER TOMASSO MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 11 (c) (Iv) • AN INTEGRATED PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT WITH AL TIRIS, INC .

General Dl1cu11lon (a) Mayor's Choice Council Members Mccaslin, Moore, Wolosyn, Woodward, Tomasso , Oakley None Council Member Barrentine (I) Mayor Wolosyn said I would Ilka lo thank Jeff Sanchez and Safety Services for the report on fireworks and also Just to thank the department in general for coming up with that plan and putting ii into place . I don't know if ii was the rain or the fact that people knew about the plan ... l lhlnk it might have been botl1 ... but Englewood City Councll July 10, 2008 Page 12 everyone I talked to agreed that ii was a much more peaceful 4" or July . I know ii Is because or your vigilance and I appreciate It. (II) Mayor Wolosyn said I would also like to thank Chier Vandermee ror the report on the assistance from other agencies regarding the Incident al K-Mart . I was out of town. I just heard about It from the e-mail and I was glad to see a report of just how ... when something like this happens ... so many different agencies from around the metro area come to our aid . So, thanks to them and thanks to our department. (Iii) Mayor Wolosyn said I would also Ilka Just an update from Community Development on where the Seminary project Is . And also along with that update , I realize that they need a PUD regarding parking Issues and In one sense, ii is In their court ... this process ... bul II there is anything we can do lo help them move this along with public discussion or whatever they need, I think that we need to help them expedite it. So , ii I could gel a report back on Ih a\, ii would be great. (iv) Mayor Wolosyn sa id on Friday I went to the funeral , a very sad occasion , of Mary White who used to work here and was so instrumental In mak ing sure th ese meetings flowed . She was one of the laces that welcomed me to the City when I first ran . We didn 't send flow ers , because they requested that flowers not be sent, however we are going to send a contribution to the Man ,,a Ministry at her church and Sue is taking care of that. I wanted everyone lo know that. (v) Mayor Wolosyn said now down to discussing Mr . Cohn 's issues . I ha ve a list here . Does everyone agree that maybe we should go through them and resolve some of them, because the limelino is short? Th is thing is coming up in September. As I see ii, some of them, I think , are really out of our hands . Number one, to hold off the closing ... we are not even sure where we are in the process or Acoma and I don 't think that any of us here sre in a position to say anyt ! ring about that. However , some of the things I know tha t we do have control • over . Things like you asked for the waiver of the fee for the banner, the rent of the show wagon ... do we have • control over that Of is that something that Parks and Rec makes a decision on ? City Manager Sears said I think Council could do that. Council Member Woodward said I would recommend that we lake ii to Parks and Recreation because when we bought the new show wagon the Commission had a dis cussion on how It was going to be availablo and to who . Ms . Wolosyn sa id so that is the Comm iss ion to go to and they meet this Thursday al 5:30 p.m. al Pirates Cove . Ms . Wo lo syn said abou, the ad in the Citi ze n. The Citi•~n is somelhing that City Council and \he managem en t of the City give to the ci\izens every year and I th ink wl " . ,i s has come up before ... and maybe people want to disagree with me , but we have always been in agre on ,,nt that it shouldn't be a venue for ad vertisement. But if you are working with one of the boards or commiss ions , you can be listed in the regular calendar that goes up on the Events of the City and ii works for everyone . I don 't want to cha nge that precedent. . .if everyone agrees . Ms . Wolosyn said clos in g the stree t...l think it comes up lime and time again . I, myself , can tell you that I am not in favor of clos ing the street, but I would like to open that for discussion here . I would also like some comments on the sugges tion from Mr. Vasi\as that we reduce 1he speed limit for that day . Council M~mber Mccaslin said didn't Ted say that he talked to about B or 9 people and they did not want it closed? So , It sounds like the majority or the bus iness owners don 't want the street closed . That is what I am gelling . Council Member Woodward sa id a week ago , after receiving in .ur packets the loller from Brook Bell. .. on Friday , I 11ad gone out and talked to a number of the bus iness owners In the 3500 and 3400 block or South Broadway , the larger ones , and the answer was that ii was unan imous not to shut down Broadway ... very strongly unanim ous . In fact, one business owner brought up on the ir cash reg lsler ... lhe y had a program, where they were able to show me the ir sales and 50% of their weekly sales are on Saturday . They are a deslinalion business . They were very concerned . King Soopers was very concerned . They had not heard anyth ing abou t th is and they were not in favor of It. So , as far as shutting down Broadway, I think the cost Involved ... number one ii Isn 't in the budget , ii • hasn 't been considered al all and for a one lime event , I don 't think I see the value to the citizens of shulling down Broadway . Now I do see the value of the Car Show , like the Car Show was last year, and I think that was real valuable ana I th ink there was a big turnou :. And I guess I even wonder if that is the appropr iate venue for this • • • Englewood City Councll July 10, 2009 Page 13 event. Maybe thla event Ihould be somewhere elae ... City Center ... l don't know . I gue11 I em just thrnwing that out. But there are a number of concema that I have with shutting down Juat one lane . I think It la really unsafe . I cen juat aea a three yeer old running out Into Broadway and hit by a cer . That scares me . A5 far aa some of the things that the City haa done and la dolng ... the 4th of July celebration we had, the Funfest celebration we will have ... thoae are things that we put on for the citizens and are very Involved with . I think those are my main comments . Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any other commants . Council Member Tomasso said I agree with Jim that we put on these events lo• the citizens, but there Is a possibility that we should also put on events that support our merchants. Th is ~va nt is ona of those that supports our merct ants, bring other people In from other cities, possibly to visi t our de sl!'u ,''on merchants and see what Englewoo,1 really has to offer . I do agree that there Is that question about shutting down Broadway ... that would affect the majority of the merchants on Broadway and their cash register ... thus our sales tax . So there is that problem th,,re , but I think that any assistance that the City can offer. .. like loaning barricades and assisting with sweeping tt,e parking lot. . .I s very beneficial to the merchants . I think that the more types of festivals that a city holds ... you have place:: like Breckenridge and Telluride that have a festival every week . They have one every week to bring people in. That we are up to maybe three now, plus the Christmas celebration, which would make four, it isn 't that much more . I think ii is just something in the marketing of Englewood community relations that we should Involve ourselves in and the cost to the City is not that great. Ms . Wolosyn said the question at hand is closing Broadway. Mr . Tomasso said but I think closing Broadway is a tricky question on Saturday . Maybe next year if they considereo Sunday and had the merchants open on Sunday, when they weren 't destinations, then they could close Broadway on a Sunday. Have it on a Sunday afternoon . So maybe scheduling it next year for a Sunday and scheduling the closing of Broadway on a day when it wasn't a destination sale . Council Member Woodward said, hopefully, with the BID in place next year, maybe the BID would want to put i,rward the money for the cost of some of those things . I think , as I understood it from some of the largest businesses in the 3400 and 3500 blocks on Broadway. there would be lost sales tax and their fears are the destination people that don't show up , that turn around and go somewhere else, may not come back because It was a hassle on that particular Saturday . I think Ted discussed that also . I don't think that works . So, my concem Is shutt ing down Broadway . As far as supporting a car show and supporting the businesses with banners and some things that we can support .. .low cost things ... I am all for that. Council Member Oakley sa id I ~ttenoed last year's Car Show and I intend to attend this year . I support it whole heartedly . I think there are a couple of things here that we need to consider . If we are just saying closing Broadway, that is one thing , but attracting new business to downtown , there is no doubt about ii, this brings a lot of people into the downtown area . Now if it got so big or to a point that the downtown merchants didn 't want i? here because it was actually deterring their business because there were too many people here , that would be something else , but this could take years for that to work Its way forward . So , In the mean time , I think that the City should support th is Car Show in every way they can , but for this year I don't think we should close Broadway . I think the car people are very astute people and if they want to go from one side of Broadway to the other, they can go to the signal and do II. I don't think It would hurl the car show that much . Mayor Wolosyn said you don't find a need to bring down the speed limit? Mr . Oakley said no , but I want to do everything else that we can In support . Ms. Wolosyn said okay, thanks . Council Member Mccaslin said I think, as Ray was saying ... l have been to Leadville , Vail and Estes Park ... they have things th&: are so neat and unique to their cities and I think , Doug and his commlltee has done a great job in trying to put this together . I would support It as much as I can , but again , hearing from Ted, I think the only Issue I had was closing down Broadway . But, I would support it"' any other way that I could. Mayor Wolosyn said I think we are pretty much in consensus on closing Broadway, but I am In favor of waiving the banner fees ... Is everybody? Okay . Council Member Woodward said I th ink the one thlng ... l think you had mentioned two weeks prior to ... l think one week of those weeks Funfes1 has the banner up, which cnmes at the end of August. Englewood City Council July 10, zooe Paga 14 Council Member Oakley aal~ In my experience In placing the banners , they do have them booked up quite a ways In advance , 10 tt they haven't checked on that, they may not be available anyhow . Mayor Wolosyn said exactly . Yes , Doug , just briefly though . Do you want to tall us about the banners? Mr . Cohn said the last I checked with Public Works, Linda was saying that both banner poles were available . The rule Is outsiders can't sign up until 45 days out . Mayor Wolosyn said okay , we will do what we can to expedite getting that up and you can talk to Community Development about the dates you want It up and all of that, okay? Mr . Cohn said just one other question . We are worried about the parking lot. Who can I talk to about that? I have talked to Darren and he says well , Bob will make the decision and Bob says , well no , th is Is a City Council decis ion . Mayor Wolosyn sa id we all need an update on where the Acoma Project is . I, myself, don 't feel that I can speak to It right now . I don 't know tt anybody feels differently . City Manager Sears said actually Bob probably does know , I know you talked to him, but I suggest that th is come back , say at the Study Session next Monday night , so that there will be some clarification as to where the negotiations are . Mr . Cohn said okay . II sure would be handy if you guys could delay the closing for two days . Council Member Woodward said EURA is the major owner of that land . Mayor Wolosyn said right. So , you have ambula ece and antique fire truck, is that something we can ai1dress . City Manager Sears said we did that last yea,. I don't think that it should be a probl e ... , -:hris . Director Olson sa id I think we can do that ar1alrl. II ls Just a matter of g~ .. ing personnel to bring It down to the location , so we would be happy to do that. Mayor Wolosyn sa id does that cover everyth ing you lis ted? Okay, so you know we will be address in g the ones that we couldn 't fully address tonight. Thank you guys for your patience and respect for the system . (b) Council Members' Choice (i) Council Member Mccaslin said I had a question ... we ban fireworks here le the City and Arapahoe County, but yet we had a fireworks stand open on Hampden and Federal. I Just can't figure that out. Thal Is like saying no guns allowed , but we have a gun shop open where you can buy them . Somebody needs to help me out on that one. Mayor Wolosyn said those aren't being sold In Englewood, they are being sold in the City of Sheridan. Mr . Mccaslin said but Isn't that Arapahoe County? Ms . Wolosyn said the County is responsible, as I understand ii.. .for unincorporated Arapahoe County. That Is who they make laws for and each municipality Is responsible for local control . II ls one of the paradoxes of living . Mr . McCaslln sa id It Is amazing to me , we ban fireworks all over and yet there Is a fireworks stand . (II) Council Member Woodward : • • 1. He said I just to want to acknowledge the work of Nancy Peterson who is , as I understand It , as of the 5~ • of July on dlsablllty . Al the Englewood Housing Authority meeting of last week, they wanted to stress their concerns regarding not having Nancy around any more and that her position , hopefully, won't be eliminated . And they wanted to state that she has been a very positive and µroactlve liaison to the Housing Authority. I said I • • • Englewood City Council July 10, 2008 Page 15 peraonally hadn't heard ■nythlr.g dboul ~ position being allmlnated and I also manlloned that Commands• Sanchez 11 going to be helping out on ,.ome of that right now. 2. Ha said I alao wanted to ecknov.~r,dga Bob Spada from the Golf Course for this latter regarding the Hola- ln-Ona program . We have a latter from 11ome parents compllmantlng what a fine job that that la for our youth and I think It ls something that I am certainly Ir, 11Jpoort of and th ■ Parks and Racreellon Comml11lon has bean supporting of and I know Bob has really IVOrker. with his staff . It is quite a project and one of the best In the country. So congratulation, lo Bob on ancthar successful year. 3. Ha said Is there anybody from Community Development hsre? Or maybe Chris would know . I would Ilka to know Iha status of the house on Wesley and Zuni . Is ii gone? Did the swat team get In there and do their work? Director Olson said I can s,e Commander Sanchez shaking his head . We never got In there . And I quite honestly don't know what the status of It was . It was supposed to have been torn down , but we never had any active Involvement in it. .. either from the fire or the police side . Is that correct? Commander Sanchez said yes, we were waiting for asbestos removal. Council Member Woodward said It was my understanding that we were waiting on asbestos removal before Iha swat team was going to be going in . I know the asbestos was removed a couple of weeks ago and there was a memorandum from Community Development that I bel ieve said that Safety Services was going to be In there the week of the 24th or something to that effect. I don 't know . Director Olson sa id we will check on that and just see where ii is at. I know that the process was trying to gel that house down as quickly as possible . Council Member Woodward said if we have the opportunity to do the tra ining and ii is a day or two difference , I don't th ink that matters at th is point. Mayor Woiosyn said I would like to piggy back on the compliments to Parks and Recreation. I would like to comment on the flowers . Thanks for the picture, but I didn 't need it , I had already been noticin g them . They look very nice and it is great to have them back. 13. City Manager's Report (a) City Manager Sears said I did have a conversation with Nancy Peterson last week before she went on disability. She is on disabil ity unt il there is a determination by the FPPA in regard to her status . We are still working with Human Resources and 1:ith Nancy In terms of trying to determine, once her capability is determined, whether or not she can do a civili an type of position or can stay on a part-lime basis . A lot depends on where the doctors are . So , I know we would like to give Nancy recognition for all the work she has done . At the same time, I know that Chris, and Jeff In particular, are working on National Night Out. I know tomorrow night is their recognlllon of National Night Out and Nancy Peterson will be there tomorrow evening . But I asked Chris to put together a plan that , hopefully, he can present on Monday night 10 the Council that will say this Is how the plan for National Night Out Is going to proceed ... unless there Is anything else , Chris , that you would like to add to that. Director Olson said I think you had a memo In your packet. Essentially, what we are going to do is we are going to assign one of our part-lime police officers, Officer Tim Mitchell , to essentially take over that function ... still In a part-time capacity . His main locus right now Is going to be on National Night Out and essentially having that avant as close as we can to the original Intent of what It was all about. So , we think we will be able to do that. But anyway , that Is the plan which will begin, essentially Immediately, we're preparing for that night which Is August 1•. Englewood City Council July 10, 2008 Page 18 City Manager Seara said thel po1itlon has not been alimlnr.ted and hopefully we can work with Nancy In the future . Mr. O110n Hid yea . Mr. Seara said ff we need to send a note out to the Housing Authority , we can do that. I know publicly, It hll been difficult. Council Member Woodward said wall, I think once Iha rumor mill starts ... Mr . Sears said what we do need Is some clarification on where we are going as soon as we can . (b) City Manager Sears said Frank Gryglewlcz Is here to talk briefly about the financ ial report, which is positive . I think he Is scheduled to do a more In depth financial review next Monday night. .. kind of a mid-year revlew ... when he will talk about the details . Director Gryglewicz said I am not going to do the full report here at the pod ium, but I want to give Council an update on revenues, because their levels are 4 .3% over last year at June 30th which triggers wage increases per the contracts for police end firo . They go Into effect July 1 • end they will be on the checks this Friday . That Is really all I had . I wl l give Council a more In depth updat 3 of the June report at the next Study Session . Mayor Wolosyn said thank you, Frank . (c) City Manager Sears said the ot'ler suggestion was to discuss the naming of the dog park . Mayor Wolosyn said do you want to go ahead and address that now? We have a recommendation from Parks and Recreation for the name Canine Corral and they want us to endorse it. Mayor Wolosyn asked If there was any discussion . • Council Member Woodward said the onl i, thing that I would suggest is to put Park on the end of it, because one of • the things the Parks an:1 Recreallon Commission was trying to do was separate it from Belleview Park . So , it isn't Canine Corral at Belleview Park . II is II, own park . In that way people aren 't thinking that Belleview Park , in any wa1•, is an off-leash park . Council Member Moore said I don't want to try to get too involved in picking a name, but I have to admit that kind of along the lines Jim, of what you were saying, I was more drawn to the names that brought Englewood Into it. I mean, where this park is ... everythlng that has gone into it. I was attracted to something that kind of public izes that this is an E~glewood dog park . But, I don't know how else to react. I don't know if there are elements of the discussion with the Commission ... ! noted in here that ii seems like Can ine Corral wasn't wholeheartedly agreed to . Council Member Woodward said I would say that was accurate . Somebody mentioned the name EngleWOOF Park . Council Member Moore said I lhought that was kind of clever ... even the Englewood Bark Park ... it was cute , but it still kind of emphasized the City 's involvement. Director Black said I may add a little bit to that. Englewood Unleashed was charged with bringing names to the Parks and Recreallon Commission and they had a contest. They ended up with six names . The number one name on their list was EngleWOOF Par!<. I know when the Parks and Recreation Commission talked about the names , I think it Is fair to say ... and I don 't mean to be negative ... but they weren't overwhelmed with the names . We did a little research , Gary Hultberg and our office did, on dog p_rks across the nation . I would say at least 40 to 50 percent use the name Bark Park ... and the reason for that is because it says exaclly what it is . II Is a Bark Park, It Is a dog park . Certainly my recommendation is not that that is Eng lewood Bark Park, but just for Information purposes . The Information that Gery collected stales that's what II is, because a lot of times II tells what the pa'1< Is as opposed to whether it Is a •Joggle day care or something like that. I think that was a couple of concerns from the Parks and Recreation Commission . But certainly, I thinl : En glewood Unleashed should be commended for the efforts that they put out there, because they put a lot ot tim e and effort i11 terms of gathering names to make a recommendation to the Parks and Recreallon Commiss ion . I am sure that if you have any questions for Unleashed that Allee Hanna Is here and would be happy to answer those as well. Mayor Wolosyn sa id I have a ~uestlon for you . Do you think that the Recreation Comm iss ion would be devastated If we chose another name out of the group? Mr. Black said I don't think so. Ms . Wolosyn said and how about you Al lee? • • • • Englewood City Council July 10, 2008 P1g117 Director Black said If II ls okay, Al lee would like to me1,a a comment. Allee Hanna sa id the only point I wanted tc, make about Englewood Bark Park ls ... and It 11 nothing negative, ,but that there 11 another group In Englewood celled the Jason Bark Park Group and some people had thought there might some confus ion to that. That was Jusl a comment I wanted to make . Mayor Wolosyn said I agree . People might alert thinking that Jason Park Is the BBrk Park ... lf It was celled the Englewood Bark Park . Ms . Hanna said yes , right , because there 11 another group called that. Mayor Wolosyn said ;·,,:;w •bout EngleWOOF Park? Ms . Hanna said I think th is Is the order ... EngleWOOF Park was number one, for Englewo~ Unleashed , and then Englewood Bark Park , Gero Dog Park ... whlch Is the name of a dog who Is the first dog Canine Officer ,o be killed in the line of duty in Colorado ... and then Park N' Bark, 4 Paws Park and then Canine Corral. Those were our contest winners . Council Member Oakley said Canine C,1 rral certainly says it , what it is . Maybe we could work out something with that. Council Member Moore said even sticking Englewood in front of lt. .. l mean is it just a matter of what the signage is? Director Black sa id we do need to come up with a name in order to put the signage together for that, because we are go ing to need to promote the dog park. Counc il Member Moore said I'm sorry, did I hear Alice correclly ... that you went through them in the order of preference? [Clerk's note : Ms . Hanna's response from the audience was unclear.) Mr. Moore said so the Parks and Recreation Commission's recummendatlon is Englewood Unleashed last recommendation . Mr . Woodward said It tied for fifth recommendation . Ms . Hanna said when we have told people that Parks and Recreation chose Canine Corral, people have been very happy with that. I do thir-~ Englewood Canine Corral would be a good thing too . Mayor Wolosyn sa id do we want to make it Englewood Can ine Corral Park ... that is a big mouth full. Mr . Woodward sa id It's a big sign . Ms . Wolosyn said I can see your concern . Dire ctor Black sa id before I make thet commitment, I would feel more comfortable in talking with the Parks and Recreation Comm is sion about that again . Jim , I don 't know what you th ink . Mayor Wolosyn said what about just scrap ing it and going to the first choice of EngleWOOF Park? Council Member Oakley said , would rather go with the Comm ission 's recommendation of Canine Corral , myself . Mayor Wolosyn said how Is everybody else on this? Council Member Tomasso said I am just not overwhelmed by that. Council Member McCasll n sa id I like EngleWOOF . Council Member Moore said on one hand I think It Is kind of clever . I would like to say maybe we could at least limit It to three to discuss: EngleWOOF Park, Englewood Bark Park and th•~ an amended Englewood Canine Corral. Mr . Mccaslin said that Is a good ldta. Mayor Wolosyn said and then Dring il back or do It right now? Mr . Moore said maybe for now ... that at least brings us tu threo . It loo~s like there ere more contributions . Council Member Mccaslin said Jerrell , you wanted to take it back to Parks and Re creation and discuss It, right? Englewood City Council July 10, 2008 Paga 11 Director Bleck uld yea, but l'rr: not 1urc thal Mr. Woodward doe, and, certainly , I would defer to him . [Clerk'• no la: Several comm:!'n\1 wa,a made that were unclear .) Director Black said~ that 11 the Council's feellng ... lo lake Iha three names back, we could certainly do thal...~ you wanted lo do that. Mayor Wolosyn said lel me hear from Dave, whal were you going lo say? Open Space Manager Lee 11ld I was jusl going lo ai ,1 tf •i I h ': .•.I ~f liked Al ice's suggesllon ... Englewood Canine Corral Park .. .ls aomewhal of a mouth full, bul anyboo ~ ,ou;,J •ho. ten lhal if lhey wanl 10 ... whether II ls Canine Corral, Englewood Canine Corral, or whal have yo,. ,t m;~h , ,,., !•omelhlng lo consider along wllh the olher name selections . COUNCIL MEMBER OAKLEY MOVED TO NAME THE DOG PARK "ENGLEWOOD CANINE CORRAL ," Mayor Wolosyn said okay. Is lhere a second? Council Member Tomasso said could we drop the word Corral and jusl put Englewood Canine Park? Council Member Moore said II doesn 't flow . Mayor Wolosyn said lhal sounds menacing.
