(a) Greg Kai ner sa id. as you probably all kn ow from pre vious spe aki ng cngagemcnls, I am Presid ent
of En glewood Unleas hed and I co me here tonight to poi nt out that there ca n be a true co mmunity spirit be tween the
governmen t and its citizenry and yo u fo lks have proven that. As President of Engl ewood Unl eas hed. my term ends
Jun e 30th and it has been a chall engin g year for us. but one th at has so lidifi ed a lot of relationships with a co mmon
goal th at is a pla ce . the com munit y we li ve in, maki ng it better and happier . The bond th at we've shared :ia s bee n
the off-lca.rh dog parks. We put aside politics and we took a visio n and now we arc on ly a few step s fr om realit y of
that vi sion of an off-leash dog park at Bellev iew . There has been an inten sity along the way, as yo u all well know ,
but that is how creai ive people get thin gs don e. I would like to th ank Mayor Garrell fo r his di vi ne le aders hip and a
gen 1lcma n th at is rea ll y never praiscd ... City Manager Gary Sea rs. He is kind of the nuts and bo lts guy ... he
und ersta nd s how to impro vise and gets stuff done beh ind the sce nes . He hasn't, at least to my knowledge, openl y
been prai sed, but he has been ve ry participative in this process. Tha nks to Parks and Recreati on Director Jerrell
Black for his patience . He has rea ll y shared a lot of experie nce with us that we ha ve appreciated. The Assistant
City Manager Mike Fla hert y has sat in a lot of meetin gs wi th us an d his patien ce was tc s1cd and we jusl sat through
it and roll ed up ow shirt sleeves and we've got things done. Dave Lee of Parks and Recreation, assi sta nt to Jerrell
Black, who has had a great se nse of humor whi ch we have all needed along the way. Bev Brad shaw who ha s also
exp ressed vision and th e love fo r the outd oors a nd who saw our needs . Co uncil man Jim Woodward who's a
visionary and a coalition bu ild er ... we have appreciated that. Ray Tomasso whose open mind is wha t makes a
co mmunity grow. He actua ll y saw that this was goi ng to be a big benefi t to th e co mmunit y and we app reciate that.
John Moore is al so a recreation kindred spirit and saw that dog parks arc for people as much as for th e dogs who
exercise in them . Laurctt Barrentinc ... shc played the devil's advocate role better than I ever could. Yo u kno w what
I would like to do is express app reciati on. It has bee n a rea l joy wo rki ng with thi s curre nt staff a nd this c urre nt
Co uncil and I hope that when the board turns over that we have the same kind of relationship with the future Board
and the future Council. I have enjoyed meet ing and worki ng with a lot of the staff here. I am not going to run for
office ... my term ends June 30th ... so I am goi ng to step down , but I belie ve th at this is goi ng to beco me a reality and
it is thanks to all the great folks that I have ment io ned here tonight. Thank s and God 's speed .

(i) Directo r Kahm presented a recommendation from the Publi c Works Department to adopt
a bill fo r :m ordi nance vacating right-of-ways on three parcci s located within or adjacent to the Littleton/Englewood
Wastewater Treatment Plant. He said approximately a ;ear ago the Ci ty was fortunate to be able to tum the
Hcrbcnson lease into our ownership . We had a title commitf.1cnt done Ct that point and found that the Bi -Ci ty
property itself is a series of possibly 20 or 15 different propen(cs inclul!ing th..:se three aba ndoned right-of-way s.
Our ultimate goal , with the abandonment of the se ri ght-o f-ways , is te, ..:lean up the ow nership and subdivid e and re-
plat that property into two pieces. The larger parcel would service the B.-Ci ty Plant and would be in joi nt-
ownership with Littleton and Englewood and the remaining parcel "'01.1 ld be the Englewood Scrviccnter that, we the
City, would then own.

(iv) Mayor Garrett snid this is a recom mendation from the Englewood Water and Sewer
Board 10 approve, by mot ion, awarding a contract 10 Gene see Builders , Inc . for lhe ins10llation or the was hwater
pump equipment at the Allen Plant in the amount of $167,000 .00.
Director Fonda said we need these pump s installed. There is an error in the Council Communication. It is not
$167,000.00. We bought it ourselves and it is around $100,000.00 so wc'n: coming up maybe $30,000 .00 short or
lhe budgeted amount of $300,000.00 for lhe equipment purchase and for lhe installation . We did Ilic equipment
purchase early so that the long lead time equipment could be there . This is something that is fairly critical because
the load that has been put on these pumps over the years since the new addition came on is wearing them down and
we don't want to have a breakdown.

because of the budget issues, is hold an Ice Cream Social for members of the Boards and Commissions. The budgel
item would be somewhere in the $500 .00 to $600.00 rnngc. Would Council be interested in renewing that
appreciation fun c:lion this year? If Council so desires, we will lurn it over to the City Manager's office to come up
wi1h an uppropria1e date . So I would like to bri ng thi s up tor discussion. Do people th ink ii is a good idea or a bad
idea?
Council Member Woodward said I think it is abso lutely a good idea .
Cou ncil Member Moore said I assume it was gcnrrally well rece ived by 1hc Board and Commi ss ion members in the
past. Mayor Garrett sa id I think so, because it is a nke get toge ther with all the Boards and Commissions . It is a
