(a) Debby Pool . 143 1 Ea s1 Cornell Aven ue s:i.id I am here toni ght to rnlk 10 yo u on bch ulf or th e
home owne rs of Arapa hoe Acres . I was very plea ~ .. I to hea r th e di sc uss ion in Stud y Se ss ion that it appears 1here is
seri ous co nsid erati on 10 selling the properly . At 1he lime that th e house was do nated to the Cit y. in the early 199U 's,
the homeown ers in our area we re ve ry dee pl y co nce rn ed abo ut the ba sic iss ue of 1hc Cit y ow ning th is sin gle family
home of 1ha1 va lue . We th ink , still today, that 1here is a very serious public po licy issue in th:tt area . And, I hope
•1rnt you, the me1.1bcrs of Park s and Rec reati on Co mmi ss ion and )'Our lcsal and housin g ad vise rs will examine 1hi s
iss ue carefu ll y, because I think !his iss ue of the City ow nin g pro pe rly m..e that is a very seri ous one . I hope that yo u
will take it seri ously . As ""'U hea rd fr om Ra y, sale s in the area are good. You should be able 10 achieve, if you do
sell , a l'und th at th en co uld be given 10 Park s and Recreati on projects. I don't think thnt should be an iss ue in thi s.
We d , apprecia te that the City did stop the renovati on th at was occ urrin g. The Cit y s1aff has bee n vc~y. very
re spo nsive to us in rai si ng our co ncerns and li stening 10 us. We really appreciate that very mu ch. We cena inly will
be invo1vcd in tal kin g wi th th e Park s and Recrea1i on Co mmi ss ion people . Again, if yo u ca n help us on 1his whole
legal i!i sue or wheth er a City should be ow nin g thi s kind of property . that wo uld be very helpful. I think it is a very
co mp le x issue , but also a very important one fo r you 10 co nsider. The City ha s been ve ry good to Arapah oe Acres.
We have appreciated th e support that you have given us ... mos t rece ntly the money to help us renovate our street
signs. I hope yo u ha ve been by and see n them . They arc very hand so me markers and we do apprecia te the help that
yo u ha ve give n us with th at ,rnd your end orse ment of the rece nt grant and other projects. We loo k forward to
wo rking with yo u. If there is anyway we can help yo u wit h th e deci sion on thi s house, we would really like 10 hear
fr om yo u. We hope you will not hesitate to call. She asked if there were any ques1ion s or comments. There were
none . She said thank you, I apprcci:uc your li s1cning.

7. Rccognilion of Unsc heduled Public Comment

a) Greg Kaincr said I am President of Cnglewood Unlea shed and I ha ve spo ken 10 yo u folks before . •
I am here 1onight 10 speak 10 you about some of the controve rsy about site se lection and fundin g for off-leas h dog
parks in Englewood. Wh at I wanted 10 bring back tu li ghl is the Task Force, for which I have high regard . There
arc several members of the Task Force her ,ni ght. I have , in my po ssession. the executive summary of Off-Leash
Ta sk Force . It was on th e Cit y web si1c . . . p ·cd 10 just go ow·r real qui c,d y some of !he iss ues th.1t I think arc
imporiant. Because wha 1 we have fouml is 1f .. n th -:re has dcfini1cly been a pattern that has been eslabli shed through
the pa st two sitcs ... Ce ntcnni al and now Bcll :-\"t'w. One is. it se em s wh en we acquire land th:11 ha s no1 been
currentl y used it comes witl1 a pri ce. So, I thint.. -.vc arc go ing to have 10 acce pt the fact that multi -use green space
might ha ve to be given up, if yo u don't wa nt al.\ :idditi o nal costs or there will be en vironm enta l impact stud ies.
water studie s, c1c . that arc probabl y going 10 en nc with unu sed land Both pieces tha1 we ha ve loo ked at, in a
sc1;ous way. ha ve proven that out. To ge t back to the Ta sk Forcc ... it was estab lis hed in Dccc mbc r of200 3 and I
think 1hcre were at least :,eve n mec ting s ... membc rs mi ght co rrect me if I'm wrong. I kn ow since we've wor ked on
it. it has been a tru e la bo r of love. I can ima gin e what th e Tas k Force membe rs we nt 1hrough in th e process of th eir
seve n or so meetings to come up with thi s criteria for sel ection of a site : fir st one wa s a neighborh ood buffer and I
think Belleview addre sses th a1: playsro und se parati on. I thi nk Bellc v1ew addre sses 1hat: picnic shelter. a1hleti c fie ld
scparali l.,1 1, I think Be lleview addre sses that : not a nalural area ... that is so mewhat debatabl e. because furth er down in
th e ex ec uti ve summary it said that it wa s scl!!t.'lcd ... Bcllr • 1cw was part of the nJt ure area, w;1s in th e lhree si1e s that
we re se le cted. so it is so mew hal amb :suous 1herc; oft -s treet parkin g, I believe Belleview ad dre ss es th:11, potable
w.11t:r, that is to be determined th roug h i. ri ga 1ion, but I think it is access ib le: positive dr:1inagc , I wou ld like 10 think
that th e reaso n we ha\'C go ne through the efforts of the stud ie s and the Ci ty and communi ::' debat e abo ut ha vin g th e
i.t udi es, we wi ll address that iss ue . I mean th at is the purpose of 1h:ll and I think it is in th e hand s of profcss ion:11 s
that c:m sivc us th at determinati on. It i~ not isu la:!.!d. Th e co mmuni1y ha s accepted th at as a securi l)' iss ue th ey
rcjcc 1cd the oth er loc:ui ons ... Ccnlcn ni al fo r that very r<>nso n. It was a sccur ily iss ue and it was about as isolated as
it comes if yo u wou ld loo k at a m:ip . It 1s ADA acce ss ible and it is within th e one to three :1cres preferabl e as far as
the size. Th at addresses the three groups 1hat actually uses a dog p:ark . You've go t th e walk ers that ac tuall y jus1
walk aro und th e perimeter of the pa rk ... yo u've got th e socia l JXQp le who stand there and talk 10 th eir neig hbors and
let th ei r dogs pl ay and 1hen yo u've got 1he peo ple that come i· ,nd do no1hing bu t in1 cra c1 with th ei r dogs and •
cxc n.:i se th eir dogs whil e the y arc 1here and :hen th ey leave .. he thre e di stinct gro up11 that use th e park . And th ere
1s shade avriil:tble . And. depending on how yo u loo ked al the Centenn ial loca ti on. depe ndin g on th e area. it was
que stionab le. I would like to think 1h:11 we can sti ck with the T:1sk For~e rcco nunenrlati on, si nce th ey spe111 a tood
amount of tim e selectin g three site s. I would like to add th at lhc Cushin g si1e, which wa s the 1hird Sil e th at I h:wcn·1

di sc ussed tonig ht . was basical ly rcjcc1cd b; most mem bers or th e Task Force . It wasn't rej ec ted by 1hc co mmunity
dog owners, bu1 it was rejec,ed by 1hc Task fo~.:c because of severa l iss ue s. I air. sure 1hcy will spcuk to that la ter.
Fro m a pracll c:i l standpoi nt , I think th:u we should reall y sta y on tru ck and move forwarc.. I know the dog
co mmunit y re all y would like us to slay on track an,t move fo rward . h appears th11 1 wi th the studi es co min g up . if
I'm not mi s13 ken, th e fl oo.:I plain analys is study wi ll t,1 kc fo ur 10 six weeks, whic h will put us. wilh the app rova l
1oni gh1 , in1 0 the middl e of Ma y. Afte r th at. irth31 prove s 10 be feasible, we have a wa ter st ud y, and I mig ht be
wrong . but I think th at it was a fo ur 10 six wee k tim e period on th at, whi ch would put us up 10 abou t the end of July .
And then it wo ul d come bac k to Co unci l again. With all of these check and ba lances. wi th all of these hoo ps, with
all of thi s co mmunit y input, with all of th e Tas k Force recommendations, with all of th e Parks and Rec rea tion
Co mmi ss ion rcco mmendu 1io ns and now we. are hearing th e lates t obs111dc, which happen s to be FEMA . I am
wo nde rin g how many more surpr ise£ and obstacles th at we arc going to run into in thi s process si nce we ha ve been
go in g over thi s with a fin e-too th comb. I mea n, it is on eve rybody's radar . I think everybody here now is probably
more rrofc ss ionally awa re of the requirement s of a dog park than they were a year ago. I know th 11t I nm . He sai d
ju st to cl ose, I neve r rea ll y knew. from a practic al standpoint on a personal basis, what the term meant, but now I r.~o
and it is ... fi sh or c ut bait . We arc at th at po int ... fi sh or cut bait. Th :rnk yo u.
b) Kim Love, 1959 South Clarkson Street said 1 have a liu.Jc bit prepared and I fe lt coin pc lled '· c;ay
so methi"lg re leva nt to Ms. Barrenti ne's comment s in the Study Se ssion about tax pa yers and tax use fund s. I be li c'lc
th e Open Spac .. Funds were desig ned specifica ll y fo r ac quiri ng parks and in thi s case, we are talking ahfl · t an off-
le ash park . I don 't sec any di ffere nce because as off-leash users, we arc all ta xpayers . On any given da y. there are
50 to 75 users in the parks that are also taxpa yers and they sup po n Englewood busine s~es. I kn ow I do, for exa mpl e,
shop fo r all of my food items at Englewood busine sses, so we ari: all ta xpa yers. 1 do n't see that as any differe nt 1han
any oth er taxpa ye r who uses the park . The examp le I think of that is a great deal of ope n spa,:c money. Englewood
hns ob tai ned ope n space money fo r the use of baseball field s. whic h is onl y used fo r pa n of the year and these
people are all taxpayers, but th ere is on ly a fra cti on of the year lhat tho~e base ba ll parks arc used. They arc no le ss
of a tax pa ye r, us use rs of th at pa rk , than we are and we use it all year round ... evcn in a snow ::turm . Greg and I have
bee n !h ere in a snow storm with our dogs because they enj oy the snow and we use the park all year ro und regardless
of the weathe r So, thi s is a good use of open space fund s and for the s1udies needed to g:t to tha t poi nt. So , I don't
sec a1 ,ythin g wro ng with usin g taxpayer money, in !his case ope n space fu nd~. for !h is 1ype of use. Ou:-co mmu :1 ity
is very S(J :rit oriented and we did a littl e bi t of a COllt ana lysis for i.:rcati ng an off-leash park . As yo u know , we have
talked about usi ng Bell evie w Pa rk and also using, in 1he past , Ce nte nn ia l Park and weir.now th ere is a big diffe re nce
in terms of co st. At Bell ev iew Park for exa mpl e, we are estim ati ng at about $40,000.00 in cos ts plu s of ...:ourse,
wh ate ve r ii 1:ike s for 1he studi es. We fee l it is reall y un obtainab le to get Ce nt enni al beca u:.e, ns yo u know. Parks and
Recreati o1, has pu l a pr ice on !hat of $186,000.00 . So it seems 10 me it would be vc 1. · prudent lo use Bell ev iew
Park, whic h h:1s ameniti es alread y .. it is alrcarl.y th ere, has land av ail able. It makes se nse to use it , ne t onl y fro m a
taxpaye r's po int of view. bu t al so it wo uld he vt.:ry ca:,,y to set up, in co mpari so n to Cen tenni al. So. yo u know, 1here
is a big cos t sav ings there and is also ve ry vrudent. If yo u amortized what the p. ·ks would cos t ove r !he next ten
yea rs and includin g what En gle wood Unl ens hed as an orga nizati on c:~n brin g in to th e Ci1y through donat ions, we
arc talking abo ut . not includ ing the stud ies, about $40 .000.00 over ten years is, whi ch is abo ut $4,000.00 a year ove r
ten years. That is somethin g that is ve ry easi ly anainable fo r us and we ma y be ab le 10 rai se a good porti on of th ose
fund s and more . So. yo ur co ntri bu ti on N:comcs a ve 1y practica l thin g fo r the City to support espcc 1a l\y when yo u
ha ve a group lik e Englewood Unleas hed who brings in donuli ons and fun ds and we have also been very succc s 'ul
doi ng that especia ll y since we go t our :'\01 -3C . $01 · · of1hc users aro un d th e cn untry that are ve ry spir it orie nt ed,
th :1t alread y have dog park s ... l am just goin g l 'l give yo u a few cx amp li.:s fr om a li st of seve ra l hu ndred. One is in
Ki.:n tc n Count y Kcntucky ... 1hcy es ti mated th:1 1 a dog park wo ul d esti mate at ubou 1 $50.0CX>.OO so we arc rig lll in the
ba ll r,urk th ere. There is one in Burli11 i 101 .• Ol,i o tha t has a four ac re dog p:irk th al cos t $50,500.00 and agai n we arc
ri ght in 1 .; ba ll park th ere . There is one in S:inta Maria. Ca lifornia wh ich is only $28,000.00. Aga in , th ese arc all
used wi th ei th er the ope n space fund s or ~ity money . Ra leigh. Nor1h Caro lina has an off-lea sh park. that th ey
cs umutcd 10 be abo ut S75 ,000 .00 ... !11c li nal cost. In Lafayclte, Indian a th ey cstimalc it wi ll be abou t
SI00.000.00 ... the fina l cos! fo r their dJ j!, park . And in Chape l Hill s 1here are fo ur 18 to 63 th ousand squa re foot
park s ran ging in cost. each. fr om $12,000 .00 to $43,000 .00 eac h. So fo ur park s, C\'Cll at th at rnte, we arc still in the
ha ll pa rk and be in g ve ry reaso nab le ~,f what it is cos ti ng. I don't li ke to make fun of Bould er. because I don 't live
1hcre , but Bo ul der . of course, has dog parks and the y cs tima1rd th at 1hey spen t abo ut $59,000 .00 on their dog park . I
make fun of them beca use we always c:i ll Boul de r, 28 s<1mm: n:i lcs surroun de d by rci lity . Bu i they arc ve ry

c) Nikki Fe rarri-K enn cdy. 33 03 South Coro nu Street. said I jusl wa nt to rci lcrat e 1hat our
•
organiza tio n. and the comm un it y that our orga niza tio n rep re se nt s. wan1 s th is projec t 10 be a 1wo-way strec.:t. Thi s is
not simp ly us co min g to you and asking for money and we are goi ng 10 iake it. We wa nt 10 give ba ck to ou r Cit y
nnd 10 c ur co mm uni ty ... so I am going to addre ss so me ways th at we arc proposi ng to do th at with the crea ti on of
thi s dog park . l know th :u money is an iss ue and it is a concern and we ca n address that iss ue . Our organiza ti on ha s
had o ngoi ng di sc uss ions of im posing an annua l fee for users of lhe dog par k. thu s recouping so me of th e cos ts fo r
the Cit y on an annu al bas is. We arc have 501 -3C s1a1us, whic h will , and has already, helped in the two week s, I
think , tha t it ha s bc.:n si nce we've had th at status . We have alrea dy secu red a S 1.5 00 .00 donat io n just in th at two
week period . There is a donati on as fa r as turf fr om ACC that we ~re working o n negotiating wi th them on, fo r tu rf
at lh e dog park . The othe r issue th at I wanted to add ress was the poss ibility o f a tradeo ff. We arc willing to
mai nt ain th e area you de signate 10 us and also give us a sec tion of a similar area 1hat we can help you guys improve
nt lh e same time ... that yo u are not all oca ting to us, but we are helpin g you to improve. We are willing to do th at. I
am going to say tha t. pe r.,ona ll y. I won't co mmit th e comm ittee to it. And th en the other main is sue that I know is a
co nce rn bro u ... hl up repca1 cd ly in Study Scss ion ... the waste and th erefore why the stud ies are being co nducted. I am
1101 sure if any of you arc familiar with how Denver does lh eir park syste m. They have a red. ye ll ow. green light
system whe re it is posted in th e par k. If the park is in lh e green status, il means thot maintenance and clea n up is
grea l. you are on lop of it, yo u are doi ng eve rything yo u need to do. Ye ll ow is brought up when you are on 1he
bo rderline and the park is about to be clo sed because maintenance and wa ste is more th an it should be . And, red
mean s th e park is cl osed until it is cleaned up by the people th at use it and it sta ys cl osed until it is cleaned . So we
are pro posi ng th at if the City wants contro l o ver whethe r thi s pa rk stays o pen fo r was 1c concerns, th at is one way 10
address that co ncern . I just want to say th at the rr.ain contributi on th at ou r organ ization can brin g is increasing the •
num ber of safe and soc ialized dogs in our co mmunity. Everyone knows that it is the socialized dog s th at don't
create problem s, ii is the animal s thal are not socialized that we ha ve co nfli cts wi th . Tavis Hann a, who is ou r
outreach commiu,:c ch air, ha s made some great progress with workin g with an obedien ce trainer to secu re some
classes and we want to start doing that for our mem bers, starting in May I 1hink. after our next ne ws letter co mes out.
So that way we can cond uct obedie nce trainin g fo r our members. wh ic h means off•leash dog obed ie nc e traini ng. I
th ink th at will help improve the numb er of socializ ed and safe anim als th at we have in our communit y. And we
ho pe, in the future , to get dogs trained and cert ifi ed to go lo hospices. and sc hools and hospi1al s where a dog can
have a grea t impa ct on so rneonc·s d:1 y. I was lhinkin g abou t it and if every project that the Ci ty Cou ncil put fu nds
toward coul d hav e a return, th at wo uld be a dea l. It is no t rea lit y, but I lhink our members wou ld at rec tha t thi s is a
projec t 1ha1 can give ~ack ... th ere arc retu rn s ... there are monet ary retu rn s and th ere arc return!-for our co mmunit y.
You know. we arc just asking fo r a chance 10 prove it. because we believe in it, we are exc it ed abo ut it and we hope
yo u guys arc. Th at is all I have to say nnd I :1m so rr y if I am bori ng so me members of Co un ci l.

1hat Engle wood h:ts been reduced 10 a City who values money ove r hum an rights . Again, I ask my selr and you
before you vole . ~re we rc :1 ll y goi ng to discuss th a1 spe nding $50,000 .00 on stud ies fo r Fed good percentage s on
wale r coniami n:ui on is an okay thing 10 discuss? If ou r soc iety docs 11011hin k clean, sare wa ler is a b:i sic ri ght . then
we shoul d all sig n our living wi ll s 1onigh t and say Go..! help us all. Good nig ht.
e) Li nda Count erman. 2975 Sou1h Pe nn sylvania Street . said I wa s an origi nal com miss ioned Ta sk
Force membe r for th e Off-Leash Dog Park and I am agai n surprised th nt I am standing here before )'OU asking you
not to vote. at least for th e Belleview na1ural area, 10 be co nsidered as an off-lea sh dog park are a. I feel th at th e
money woul d be a was te or ti me and energy only for a nega ti ve outcome ... to be told th at we should n ·1 use thi s area
because it compro mi ses our wa ter. Compromisin ::. vatcr is 1101 an opti on. Eng lewood citizens have the rig ht 10 have
sa fe, clean drinking water wi thout additi ona l debris or cos t to clean th e wa ter. Bell eview nature area was an ori ginal
comp r-.1 misc, but th at was before any1hing was di sc ussed with the origin al conu.1issioned Ta sk Force tliat thi s w.i s
on a fiood pl3in ... 1ha1 ii was on ly a block and a ha lf away from 1he intake area ol 'l ur wa ler pl ant. There nrc gomg
to be several cos tly studi es th al need to be done before we cou ld even move forwa1 i with thi s. I wo uld say that , tha t
money co uld be spent a whole lot wi ser and/or if you are goin g to waste the money on a bunch of stud ies that we
ma y end up sayi ng no to, because we are on a fl ood plain , co ntamin ating our water ... just hand it to th em ... let th em
have it ... 50 , 60, 70, 80, 100 thous and ... givc it to them . Let them find another place. Englewood is a go rgeo us
city ... old , max imized growth, not a wh ole lot of pl aces to go. We have green space th at is ni ce fo r the kids and I
agree thut there is a need for a dog park. I am not here 10 say that there is not a need fo r an off-leas h dog pii rk. 1 am
here to sa!, that th e Belleview nalural area and co mprom isin g our wat er is not an opti on. I propose to City Coun ci l
that we co mmissio n a Task Force agai n ... poss ibl y finding a compromise area of ava ilable gree n space th at all of us
might fi nd ~uitab le. I know in the past I have sa id no . I know , yo u know, there ha s go1 to be som ething to make
everyo ne happy . There has got to be. But , I am not goi ng to co mpromi se my water or waste the City 's money by
doing studies . How mu ch is it going to cost ? And is Englewood going to sit still for thi s? What abo ut the peo ple
that we ask to take addi tional meas ures to make sure th at their waste urstream was not co nt aminating th e Platte
because we use ii'/ Beca use that water end s up in our water so urce in c,ur plan t. Wh al about them? You think that
they arc no t go ing to co me back to yo u and say why arc you putting a dog park on th at fl ood plai n? I think that we
ca n be fai r to eve ryone . Don't co m,ro mi sc my wa ter. Thank yo u.

2. She sa id I want ed 10 agai n voice my co ncern . (n Stu dy Sess ion we were ap proa ched to go ahea d an d
approve thi s st udy. I think 1h a1 those vo tes shoul d be do ne in ope n Council regard less of whether lhc pc rcep1 ion is
th at that mone y has been set aside aln:ady for a fun cti on or not. Spendi ng thi s kind of money ... 17 to 38 th ousand
doll ars on a stu dy in a nood plain ... should be somethin g that is voted on in a Cit y Co un cil Meetin g and not in Study
Session. I h3ve a conce rn abo ut the way that thi s was han dl ed be fo re. Before there was even any money involved,
th ere was a huge co ncern on th e part of th e comm uni1 y abo u1 having an off-l ea sh park of an y kind, let alone the
po tentia l of th is kind of study money in a 1iood plai n where we will need FE MA 's ap pro val eve n1uall y 10 pu t
anythin g in there ;an yway, and looki ng at any\' ncre from 50 to 100 thousand doll ars wh en we arc all done . It was

th at 1 am dealin g with thi s as an iss ue. I hea r fro m an aw fu l lot of people ... th ey are tax paye rs too. II is no t ever thl t
I sai d i i is a wa ste of mone y, but tha t it is not a prudcnl way to spe nd tax pa yer money when the po tent ial of success
on th e out co me is very low in hav in g th is go th ro ugh. 1 do dis agree with spe ndi ng the money on th e study . I
di sagreed from th e beg inni ng on spending any Cit y money on hav ing an off-leash park and I th ink that we have
go nc n rea ll y fa r away from 1hat But like I sai d. I am dea ling with tl.e issue and I am dea lin g wi th a 101 of people
who are tax pa ye r! and constituents as well who contac1 me and th ey ha ve to be hea rd. And 1hat is how th ey are

rea ll y do . I know we ha ve pushed In fo rmation Tec hnology to lhc.. end with Permit s Plus onrl some of the se other

(i ii) Council Member Tomasso sai d I mi ssed a lot of exci le:ncn t thi s l;t;t wcc l: by bei ng ou 1 of
town. I was here a week ago Saturday and I stopped by the fi re .. t 3067 South Aco r..11. In talki ng wilh the
fi refi gh ters, when !hey arrived they tho ugh! it wns a single famil y house ... they just thought it was an awfu ll y 1,rge
house . I gues s th e smo ke obscured the seven mail boxes on the fr ont of the house, since it wa~ billowin g out t.,c
front. They went in 10 discover six apartments, walls in the base ment th at had no permits, fiv e foot eigh t ce ilin gs in
the basement and a who le apartment bui lding . Fonunatcly, everyone got out alive and sa fe and sound . But th ese
landl ords that arc misusing our City are endangering 1he lives-of our firefighters. as we ll as the peop le they rent to in
basement apartments. I understand this pan ic ular landl ord is laking hi s appeal to the Board of Adjus tm ent and
Appeals 10 rebuild hi s illegal ba se ment walls betwee n bedrooms . And , I think the City sho uld really loo k int o th is
iss ue and pre ven t this from happening . It is basically why we need to reg ister these land lordi. ;md to maintain
minimum standard s in our hous ing for the peop le who live in thi s City and wo rk here. I V10uld also like to thank
them fo r putting out the fire in the trailer park the nig ht before . They hove been buy nnd doi ng a rea ll y good job.
(iv) Counc il Member Wood Nard •,aid I would just like to start by ac know ledgiog nnd
thankin g Englewood Un leas hed for the work that you h.ivc done O\'Cr almost the past ! cu now . And I just want to
address ... as I men ti oned in the Task Force mee ting ... that I belicv ..: wha t we arc doi ng is correc t in th at we arc doi ng
the study to fi :1d out if th e water is bei ng affected, if the nood plain will be affec ted. if it ca n be mitigated and I th ink
that is the rc:,.,a nsi blc way of handlin g this . I believe th :i.t Linda had brought up the J>('tnl abo ut us goi nt back and
looking fo r other land or tryi ng 10 find other la nd th at may !,e a\'ailab le, pullin g together :mother Tas k Forcc ... J
think we ex pl ored all of th at wi th the Task Fo rce . And, I guess l wo uld in vi te, at thi s po in t, if citizens rea ll y be li eve
that there is land out there th at is Ci ty owned ... whi ch was one of the cr iteri a that Cit y Co un.::11 had se t up for us ... if
there is land out there that ci ti ze ns ca n identify th at is adequa te for an off-lea sh dog park. to bring it for-.: ard . I don't
know of anythin g and I have been invfl lved wi th thi s sinc e 2001 when we put everybody on-h:ash except for the fi ve
parks. So, in any eve nt, La urctt ... just so ... I can pu bli cly s~y I am in suppon of doi ng th e studies and I voted to do
them . Th ank you .
Couiicil Member Burrcn1ine sa id I wa nted to ad d th at the reaso n that we went to the Task Force a.ga in was becau se I

you sat on that com mi ssi on, bcfo1c you go t on Ci1y Co unc il , yo u came with th at Task Force, partic ip ated as a
mC" mbcr of th e Englewood Parks and Rcc rea1i on and it came back that Belle view Park, of 1he th ree park s th at yo u
were lookin g at , wa s nol one of the ones that you would rccommc nd ... it was Ce ntennia l Park . I asked fo r the Task
Fo rce IO mee t agai n and wa s very !.u rp rised when I fou nd out lh nt there we re people who were rep re sent ing !h e oth er
side that had been pu t on tha1 Task Force befo re, wh o voted no, when I wa s origi nall y told tha t th ere was nbsolu tc ly
no obj ec tio n to thi s. So. I still have those concern s and th e reason that I ask ed fo r th e Tas k Force to meet again, I
think wr.re va li d.
