• 6. Recognition of Scheduled Public Comment
(a) Englewood Safety Services Director Olson said what I would like lo do first of all is ask that

for me to be eble to present Chief Stovall with whal Is called the Executive Fire Off'icer cartificallon for the

National Fire Academy. Thia la a really lmportanl program ... lt I•· a real distinct honor because of whatls
lnvolved ... whlch la, literally, four yea,.. of going back to the Fire Academy for two weeks at a time to a graduate
level coul'9e back there and then alter each one of these claases, he Is required to, basically, do a thesls ... a
report, a vary extensive raport ... whlch Is reviewed by soma pretty h,wh level people In acadomla lo sea whether
he passes those courses or not. So, It 11 a very extensive four year program and vary dlfllcull to achieve . Prior
lo Chief Stovall gaining this, there was only one other person In the City of Englewood 's Flra Department history
who naa achieved this and that waa myself. about 13 years ago . I just looked at his certificate here, which I am
going to grab . Now my certificate waa about one third the size of this , so they have really Improved the
program . Then again my program only lasted three years . There are very few people in the Stale . let alone the
Country, that have actually achieved this program. because It is very selective to get Into it. And , Kraig literally
did a fantastic job and got excellent grades on all of his reports and as usual, did a very thorough job of
achieving this very select award that he has received . So. again , this Is a very select group throughout the
country. of Executive Fire Officers ... a high level of achievement. I would like lo read what the certification
states ... mine you can hardly read, but thlt one Is a little more readable . II says. "From the United Stales Fire
Administration National Fire Academy" ... and this Is under now the Department of Homeland Security and
FEMA, so it is just evolved under many different groups ... but "in recognition of successful completion of the
requisite cou ... es of study and applied research projects , the National Fire Academy under the authority granted
by Iha 93'" Congress of the United Stales of America and on recommendation of Iha faculty, confers the title of
Executive Fire Officer upon Kraig S. Stovall with all honors. privileges and responsibilities thereon · signed th is
17"' day of March, 2006." And it Is signed by the Superintendent of the National Fire Academy and the
Administrator of the United Slates Fire Administration . So, I think from all of us and his fellow firefighters who
are out there and Kralg's family out there as well, I think this is a fani &slic honor and we just wanted lo do this In
front of Council , becaus& this has not happened very olten ... and actu ally this is Iha first lime in front of Council
that this award has been presented lo one of our fine employees . Ha has been with the City now for 26 years
with many more lo ccme . Director Olson said so Kraig , congratulations . Chief Stovall said thank you.
Mayor Wolosyn said congratu lations Kraig . There was applause .
Chief Stovall said I am kind of humbled lo see all of my compatriots out here tonight and I just want lo thank
them all for coming an d for honoring me . I want to thank Director Olson and Divis ion Chief Mike Pallarozzi and
also former Divisio n Chief Kieth Lockwood who gave me their support and encouragement through this four
year process . I appreciate the honor that you have besiowed upon ma tonight. II wouldn't be filling lo accept
this honor with out honoring my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gives me strength and all the abilities that I do
have to do this job . I also want to thank my family, without whose support and encouragement I wouldn't have
been able to accomplish this task . And I want to thank you all for the privilege of serving this community and
serving with these fine men and women as a member of the Fire Division of Englewood . I also want lo take just
a moment lo encourage you In your circles of Influence lo support the National Fire Academy . Year by year
they seem to struggle for budgetary support and , in fact . many limes they are slated for . basically, budgetary
execution, If you will, and for whatever opportunity you have lo interact with our Stale Representatives and
Senators lo encourage them to continue to fund this program . There Is no finer education that we can send our
people back lo get. .. and at virtually no cost other than just supplying food for two weeks for our people . They
provide our air fare, they provide our lodging and the training is free through some of Iha finest Instructors and
trainers ,., Iha Fire Service in the cour,lry. So , again, ii is a real privilege to be here before you . I am honored lo
be able to rece ive this In front of you Pnd ii is an honor lo serve you . Thank you .
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you . There was applause .
7. Recognition of Un1cheduled Public Comment
(a) Doug Cohn , a resident of Englewood, said you all are going lo consider an emergency
ordinance amending TIUe 7, prohibiting residency of sex offenders . The vole on that la on a first reading tonight.
•
•
I read that over the weekend and I ha,,e some concerns . I completely agree with what this law In Intended to •
do, but there la o gaping hole that neeo~ lo be addressed before you put It into law . The law seems lo be
d~ected at landlords and people getting ready to sell their houses, In addition to the people that you are actually
arning at. I guess I have several questions. For the convicted aex offenders ... as they decide whether to come
to Englewood or not. . .landlords and people ielllng their houaea ... how are we going to know whether these folks

are on the list? What dlractlons are you going to give us as landlords and homa sallers? What are we expected
to do to not find ourselves In violation of \he new law? What are our responslbllltlas II landlord1 and sellers?
Are we going to have any respon1iblllty? When I looked at the map In the packet, It look1 like there 11 about
three acres along the South Platte River that l1n't covered by the ordinance and the homeless guya already
have that piece . So II look1 like the whole real of the City Is going to be covered by the ordinance . I have a little
apartment houaa over on Girard and Grant and I am wondering , es I have prospective tenants, how am I going
to know whether these folks are on a lilt any where? Do I call the Englewood police? Do I call the CBI for a
CBI check? Are you ell going to incorporate In the ordinance , either the allowance for or the requirement, li:ct
any prospective tenant bring with them an NC IC report as part of the application packet? I guess I em feeling,
as a landlord, a little bit exposed here . If somebody ends up In one of my apartments who Is from somewhere
else who neglacted to check In with his probation officer, and he ends up In one of my apartments , what kind of
a liability do I have? All of these kinds of questions Just aren't addressed In the ordlnancti at ell. What happens
if a tenant commits a crime while he is living In Englewood? What Is my responsibility a, a landlord to monitor
the activities of my tenants? Whal If the crime becomes known after the guy has moved in? One of the
problems, If a prospective tenant comes ant< I accept the money for the first months rent nnd then we discover
that he Is one of the perpetrators , ii Is real hard for me to throw him out, with all 1he tPnan,s rights these day•, so
I've got a fellow In my apartment who is on the list and there is nothing I can do about it. I guess I am
concerned about these kinds of th ings that didn 't seem to be at all addrassed in the emflrgency ordinance tt,at
you guys are considering tonight. I guess I would urge you, If the sellers of homes and landlords are not going
to have any responsibility ... you need to say that rea l clear ... and ~ we are going to have some responsibili ty, it
would be real handy to know what those responsibil ities are . Just one last point , In kind of the record keeping of
the whole thing . the house next door to me Is on the sex registered list 83 a nouse where a predator lives arid
nine years ago 11,ere was a fellow who rented the basement for about six months whv was convicted o! be ing a
sexual predator . He rented it from the previous owner of the house. Five years ago, a brand new fam i y moved
into the house and the house was still on the list and these folks are now getting an Increasing amount of
harassment from folks who perceive that the people living there now have something to do with th is guy w~o
was there nine years ago and was there for six months. I guess my quest ion to ycu in this matter is ... whal can
you all do to fix this record keeping problem that my neighbor has? And what can be done in tho ordinance to
ensure that mistakes ... l'm not exactly sure if you would even call th is a mistake and the guy was there nine
years ago and he did live there for six months ... but when the records are out of data , how are they going to be
cleaned up? t appreciate your lime, thank you .
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you . Questions relative to the ordinance will be address ed when we reach that
agenda item . Mr. Cohn sa id okay, thank you .

11 . OrdlnancH, RHolutlon and Motion ■
(a) Appro val of Ord inances on First Read ing
(i) City Attorney Brotzman presented a recommendation from the Ci ty Attorney 's Office to
adopt an emergency bill for an ordinance approving regulation s prohib iting sexual predalors and certain se x
offenders from establish ing res idency near areas where ch il dren congregate . He said this matter actually
began with Council , based on two issues ... one was a sexual predator that was go ing to be housed on
Broadway In a motel and the second issue was Greenwood Village passing a similar, but not exact , ord inance
restricti ng sexual predators res iding in Greenwood Village . Th is ord inance addresses establ ish ing a new
re sidence by a sexual predator or very, very specific categories of sexual offenders . Council 's request was to
look at recidivism end the types of offen ses that were committed by the sexual offender . I do want to than k
Ch ief Vandermee, Sergeant Englert and Kelly Martin of the Safety Services Department that worked wit h me
on narrowing the categor ies down to the ones that you now see, wh ich includes sexua l predators , sexu al
offenders convicted of a felony , sexual offenders that have multiple conv ictions or sexual offenders whose
offenses Involve mul ti ple vi ctims. We tried to narrow th is down to those offenders that Counc il wanted to look
at. In do ing so, the measurements and the distances that we adopted really were aimed at a very severe type
of se xual offende r. You are not see ing very many places , but the wh ite areas on the map , that John Voboril in
Community Development did for us , doesn 't show very many locat ions that a person that has to reg ister under
th is act, can live In Englewood . That is by des ign , because we are dealing with sexual predators and very
severe sexual offenders . These are not prostitutes , these are not lndecant exposure cases ... these are very
severe cases . Thal is why you are seeing the distancing from schools and daycare centers , parks , etc . that
are listed In the ord inance . This is truly aimed at the sexual offender . Five days ties In with registration . A
sexual offender that is requ ired to reg ister has to do so with in fiv e days . They ac tual ly go to the Safety
Serv ices Departmen t...they actually sit down and meet with a detect iv e. II you pass this , the detective will be
showing them, ii they fall Into one of these categ or ies, what is acceptabl e or what Is not. There is another
category , as Mr . Cohn has pointed out, that does address landlords, but you have to know that the y are
required to reg ister and fall into one of those categories . We have a landlord in town that does tha t. They are
getting recommendations and referrals for sexual offenders . That group will have specific knowledge ,
because they are getting a specific recommendation . They wou ld fall under this category and could fall awry
of this category , because they have specific knowledge of where that sexual offender is com ing from . As to
regular landlords , th is doesn't apply . Now , you could get somebody who actually signs up fo r an apartment
and then falls into one of these categories and the detective will then tell him you may not live there ... he will
then be breaking the lease . Every lease that I have seen has a provision that allows for that very con tingency.
Counc il Member Barrent ine said a contingency that If they are break ing th e law by living there ? Mr . Brot zman
said that ii they would be breaking the law , that the le ase Is null and void. Ms . Barrentine sa id corre ct and you
said within five days of them moving in that they ha ve to go check? Mr . Brotzman sa id correc t. Ms . Barrent ine
sa id okay and could you point out In this , the other comment that you made , that It only says landlords who are
awa re ... who have prior awareness . Where are you say ing that that Is covered ? Mr . Brotzman sa id It Is 7-3-3-
8 ... Mayor Woiosyn said It Is on page 3 .. ."with the knowledge that ." Mr . Brotzman sa id there is a knowledge
requ irement in there . Ms . Barrent ine sa id thank you .
Mr. Brotzman said I do want to mention one thing . Currently Englewood has not established a walk-to -school
route . That could be establ ished work ing with the schools. ii will no t be a proh ibition until the City actua ll y
adopts a walk-to-school route , so nobody can be in violation of that currently . There is also an unusual
provision ... well felons are an unusual prov ision in that certa in felons ... Felony 2 ls simply no longer there except
you could have been convicted of a Felony 2 so we kept that In place .
Mayor Wolosyn asked ii there wer> anymore questions or discussion .
Council Member Woodward said I have one other ouastlon and I had talked to Dan about ii In a different section
but under the ... canter of page 1 ... where as children congregate more frequently without adult superv ision at
schools, parks and playgrounds ... and I am just wondering , Is that a place at schools where we could add "and
II• designated bus stops" because we do have des ignated bus stops for schools . And that doesn 't get back Into
the distance requirements, that is still part of the preamble part of it.

Attomey Brotzman said I believe bus slops ara actually covered .
Mayor Wolosyn said yas, here II ls "daslgnaled public or private school bus slops" ... under 7-3-4-C . Mr .
Brotzman said Ila actually ... 7-3-3-A and II Is Included In Private School/Bus SlopM'alk-To-School Roule or
recreational trip .
Council Member Woodward said but we don 't have a walk-lo-school route yet. Mr . Brotzman said correct, but
public or private school bus slops would be Included . Mr. Woodward said okay .
Council Member Woodward said the only other thing is ... my comment Is that I know a lot of lime was put Into
this ordinance In reading all of the stuff that has been provided us over the last month regarding the court cases
In LIiiie Rock, Iha Mltml ordinance, Iha Greenwood Village ordinance , and the Indianapolis Information , I think
within this ordinance you have really hil II . It is very specific . II appears to be based upon what I have read on
those other court cases ... that II meets Iha requirements for being specific and I think you have done a really
good job on II. Personally I am very pleased with II. Mr. Brotzman said thank you .
Council Member Moore sa id I was just going to comment on the landlord provision . Because I understand the
concern raised that you have lo read this to realize that you don't have a responsibility as a landlord to do these
things and it is probably hard lo write what you don't have to do . But al Iha same time, the provisio ;: is
necessary, because of Iha situation we've seen where there is a landlord that makes a habit of doing this . We
need to be able to stop it al the source . And, presumably when Iha law hara is calling for knowledge, would the
burden be on us to prove lhal knowledge? Mr . Brotzman said absolutely . Mr . Moore said that is the key that
the burden of proof that the landlord has that knowledge , is going to be on the City or the prosecution and that
will allow us to deal with the situation lhal we need to deal with, but hopefully not creating undue hardships on
•
landlords just doing what they normally , rightfully do. I toyed wllh ... can we get rid of that clause altogether ... I •
think II ls necessary given the situation that we have already seen. Thal is my two cents .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any other questions or comments . There were none .
Council Member Barrentine said I mean it still raises a question on how somebody would handle it in the
meantime ... you know if they find out ... excepl if ii is in the process , then somebody has committed a crime
during Iha lime that they have been there . So , yeah, II ls unfortunate that for one tenth of one percent of some
situation, that you have to try lo put something like lhal In there lo prevent the one situation lhal is going on , bul
I don't see lhal II would cause any of the problems ... where there was a concem . Because, as you pointed out ,
they would have lo know. And, any other situation after they are already in there , you already have a violation
of the lease so, I mean, I don't think you have a problem . Okay .. .lhank you .

(I) Senior Planner Langon presented a recommendation from the Community
Development Department to approve, by motion , a professional services egreemenl with Tacilo Design, Inc . for

approve by motion a professional services agreement with Tacilo Des ign , Inc . In the amount of $19,400 .00, for
rev iew, analysis and recommendations of potential sign code amendments . This Is funding that is com ing from
existing Community Development 2006 budgeted Prolesslonsl ServlceE funds and this was discussed al the

code . Tacllo Design will work with us lo prepare recommendations for future amendments . She said if there
are any questions , I will be happy lo address them .
t;ouncil Member Mccaslin said I've talked lo a couple of businesses up al about 4400 Sout h Broadway ... some
of the signs in one area exceed the limit, but now they can 't do the same thing . Is this also goi ng lo address
existing conditions? Ms . Langon said we will probably address ... certainly new signs and then existing
signs ... lhal Is one of the recommendations that Tacilo would be looking al as lo what happens lo signs that are
non-conforming or maybe some of the recommendations may be to increase the sign limits, so that some of
those business owners would be able to have the signs that were allowed years ago . Bui, that is all part of the
rev iew and recommendation .

to approve, by motiQn, a contract with Milestone Construction for the purchase and i'lslallation of a

bid tonight, we will wall until after the first part of October before we install the bridge . ?utling the abutment in
and the brid11e requires that we drain the lake in Cushing Park and the lake provides irrigation for the Park . So ,
that Is the rea aon we walled this long In the year before we awarded the bid and that Is the reason we will wail
until after the firs t part of Oclober ... untll we drain the lake and blow out the Irrigation system, before we start the
project.

lnslllute . Their Fall conference is going to be In Denver this year and It is one of those conferences that have
topics that are all provocative and really are related to what we do In Englewood . We are very urban . Since it
doesn't require any travel and I have been told ii Is $500 .00 for just reglslering ... l would like to attend . We have
money In the budget and I encourage anybody else , if they have the lime, to go and do It. However, since I
don't have this written up and I still don't have the exact amount, I'm wondering ~ In two weeks ii will still be time
enough to register . City Manager Sears said you could bring It forward on the 18th• Mayor Wolosyn said I will

We will never kffp you busy enough If we haven't been able to do ii to this point. .. we certainly won't. Thank
you very much for all the hard work that you have done . It ls greatly appreciated .
(II) Council Member Mccaslin said I would Just like to thank you for bringing up the Bishop
birthday. My wife has put a lot of time Into this and I think II helps spur that relationsh ip that we talked about
with the City and Council and the School District. If we support their programs, they can kind of reciprocate al
times . So, thank you for the Proclamation and everything .
Mayor Wolosyn said I think that is a nice way to honor that community also .
(iii) Council Member Tomasso said I attended the first BID meeting last week . Ted Vas ilas
was elected President , Rick Reese was elected Secretary, and Bob Laughlin was elected the Treasurer. I think
Bob Voth is the Vice-President. It was just one of those beginning meetings, where they all got together, sat
down and worked out all the details and signed all the papers .
(iv) Council Member Woodward :
1. He said first I would like to congratulate Joan Weber . We received in our packet last week recognition
of an award she received . Joan Weber, from our Human Resources Department, received a Stale Blue Ribbon
Commiss ion award for health care reform lrcm the State of Colorado and signed by the Governor . I just want to
say great work and congratulations on that. Please pass that on to her.
2. He said I did a ride-along with Gary Condreay Friday night during l~e graveyard shift, when they were
having a DUI sling kind of going on , which was real interesting and very ,,ducallonal. There were a number of
traffic officers and patrol offlcer ... il was a greet night and thanks to Gary for that wonderful educatlo,.
3. He said with regard to Englewood Days , I mentioned to Doug last week and also have mentioned to a
number of the people from the Englewood High School and the school administrat ion, that obviously not this
year, but very possibly next year, there may be the opportunity to combine Englewood Days and Englewood
Homecoming and make ii an even larger event. And , more Inclusive ... bring the schools In ... the Englewood
High School Parade could be possibly expanded, to bring some other bands In town and I think It would get the
businesses and the schools working together ... together with the City and we may see a savings overall for
Public Works and Safety Services . All these things are happenlng ... and maybe Englewood Days truly could be
more than one day ... maybe a few days . I know the school .. .lrom the people I have been talking to are very
receptive to that type of partnering . I would just love to see something like that happen later In September or
early Octooer ... however that fits into how Homecoming is selected ... and maybe a Fall Festival and Farmers
Market and that sort of thing ... a Harvest Festival. Thank you .
