thi s office know me . Yo u, Dan Brotzman. fo r su re. Bt vcrl y Bradshaw. yo u should and Mr Ulso n, ynn shuuld . In
Nove mber 2004 I reques ted an intern al investigation or the Police Depanment in Eng lew N'.<I. The sub:,cqucnl seve n
da ys I was pulled ove r five times at gu n poi nt by the Englewood Poli ce Department. not tu be charged nnc time.
You know what I am talking about Brotzma n, .. fi\'e times . My lawyers \\Tote lett ers to the ( ''\ Auom-:y. Mr.
Olson, especially you. you know exactly what I am talkin g abo ut. Beverl y Brad shaw, I talkcJ 1.1 yr '.I crso nall y
after thi s in ci dent and yo u promi sed me a foir and balanced in \'c s1igat ion a nd I went, wow, a Blil f\'Rell ly fa n. Th is
lad y is going to do me ri ght . You promised me an investigation, you would ca ll me when it was complete and we
would si t dow n and we wo uld di scuss the investigation . You never ca ll ed me and in my eyes th at makes you
anoth er politicia n talking out of the side of your mo uth and you arc not welcome to tnlk to me through the rest of
thi s meetin g. Thank yo u. February 2 1, 2005 I filed a police repo rt about stolen gun s at my house at 4400 South
Lincoln, exc use me , I'm a little nervous . The police 100k the report, 1hcy walked into my house and said thi s is
obviously so meone that you knew . They didn 't steal anyt hin g else. I told them the guy's name. and lady th at li ved
at 1h at house, We loo ked up hi s record and he has five domestic charges agai nst him, fi ve drug charges .. ,one he is
spe nding six years in Arapahoe Co unt y jail for. That report was handed over to a detective . Funny, I just checked
two weeks ago and my guns weren't even entered into th e Alcohol, Tobacco 2.nd Fireanns stolen guns li st Movi ng
on from February 2 111 10 February 28111, I filed a harass ment charge against Mark Luker at my house for threatening
me and his wife that \i ved there at the time . He was sub seq uently arrested . Three days lat er Mark Luker fo rceo his
wife to change a restI•oming order in hi s name and jab me and two days late r she filed a false repo rt against me and I
was arrested at 7 o'clock in the mornin g on a Frida y in Englewood . They told me I coul dn't be seen in front of a
judge until Monday because th e docke t was full. So, I was hdd on a no-bond hold for three days. Wh en I got out
that day, I came right here an d I checked Friday on th at court docke1 , there were four pre-trial hearings s.::hedule<,.
There was no way in hell th at yo u couldn't get me in. That is because 1he Ci ty Auorney is in bed wit h Divi sio n
Chief Thomas Vandcrmce. Three days after 1 got out of jail I filed a th.-ft report with Di\'i sio n Chi ~·f Vandermcc
and he sai d he would inve stigate my \_.miturc that was stolen o ut of my house, whi ch I brought in , .. ..:eiprs and credit
card receipts in my name . On the police report he claimed he talked to "A's. Luker and she claimed to have recc ipl s.
I don'I think a roo kie out of the academy would take a theft report over lne phone. It was o nl y a matter of
discrediting Ri ch Raymond who jabbed the Engiewood Police Dcpilrtment. April 11 111 Mark Luker went to
trial ... while he is on extensive prob ati on out of Arapahoe Cou nt y ... f awaiting se\'en yea r sente nci ng on 10 ounce s of
meth :unphetaminc wh ich he had manufa ctured wi h his kids . 1 he Cit y Attorney gave that guy a de fe rred arrest and
threw hi s case out. I got pissed and ca lled his probation office,. The probation office r ca ll ed th e City Attorney's
office and th ey li ed about th e date on Mr . Luker"s co urt dale . They jerked me off for thr ee months , 1 gave Dugan
Coopc. or wha 1e ve r hi s name is, I'm sorry I dr,n't rem ember and I am sorry that I'm upset, I gave him four
individual people th at testified that she told :he m that she lied to !he po lice abou t me tind he refused to in ve stigate
iL .. well the case was dismissed la st wee k. This is disgusting . Bui when I wa s arrested the las t time on March I 8111• I
had Se rgea nt Wa1 so n, wh o has pointed hi s gu n at me now five time s. sla ndin g six feet from my head shaki ng his
hand wi th hi s eyes rolled back lik e a shark, when I submiued ... and you do with th e: Englewood Pol i .. .::: ... he put his
hands on me and shook me ab ruptl y to let me know he wa s in charge an d he le aned over in my ri gh t car with hi s
scotch stale breat h and said .. I got yo u thi s time. you so n-of-a -bitch." Now. ii is public record, is anybody going to
do thi s Mr. Mayor, thi s is on yo ur watch . You're the top cop . Is somebod y goi ng to sto p th is? I looked at the 18th
Judicia l Circuit 1hi s week and I am filing fo r th em to do an int ernal inve sti gation anJ I am dema nding this Coun cil
do an in terna l inve stigation . II is di sg usting in the City that a cop ca n be in bed with an allorne y and you can cr os s
an innoc ent citi zen like !hat. The proscc uling att orney's claim was that I wa s a crimi na l too. The las t 1hin g on
Richard Raymond's reco rd was a DWAI 24 years ago ... l was a 22 ye1 r old nitwit kid . I don'l break the law and I
don't appreciate being trea 1ed lik e that. And you guys kn ow it . especia ll y you. Beverly Bradshaw, yo u promised me
that you wo uld sit dow n and go over tha1 ... yo u lied 10 me . You arc no different th an any other po liti cian. Bev erly
Brad shaw. and you know too, Dan BrOLzman , and so do )'OU, Mr . Ol so n. Docs an ybod y else ha ve any thing to say
to me? Is anybody going to do anylhing?
Mayor Grirren said we will bring th is up , I guess , under Coun ci l Members Ch oice at th e end. We do n't get into
debates at tl 1is poin t in th e meeting .

Resolutions llnd Motions
(i) Director Black presented a reco mmenda tio n from the Dcpanment of Parks and
Recreation to approve, by motion, a contract with EDAW, Inc .. of Fort Collins for professional services for the
development of a Parks Master Plan . He said when we receive the Open Space Funding, one of the keys in pan of
the Open Space Funding, especially with the grant applications , is to sho w a plan that you have in place as to how
you plan on using that money . Currently. there is the Plane River Plan that is already in place and the City has a
Comprehensive Plan . This Park Ma ster Plan will review the existing facilities that we have here in Englewood and
it will do a needs :1.Sscssmcn t through out the community, it will do a survey, it will coordinate with the Parks and
Recreati on Co mmission, with various user groups of our facilities such as the Englewood Soccer Association and
the Englewood Youth Spons Association . It will map all of lhc data. II will make a final reco mmend ati on to staff
and the Parks and Recreati on Commissi on which will bring it to Ci ty Council As part of that , there will be al least
te n diffe;cnt drawin g co ncepts put together or redesign or desi gn of new fa cilitie s that we will bring forward. We
feel that thi s will help us in the lo ng 1erms similar to wha1 the 1997 Parks and Recreation Fac ilities Plan did which
kind of led the way with 'he renovati on of the Recreati on Ce nter, the Malley Cc nler and th e building o f Pirates
Cove. We think, that with the coordinatio n of1hc 01her plans tha1 are in place, thi s will guide us for 1he next 10 to
15 years.

Ms. Eve rh art , our Research and Tec hn ology Man ager , has bee n wo rking fe ve ri shly with our 1T Direc tor Do n Ingle
and Nancy Reid from the Ci1 y Allornry's office on this . Essentially, what we are askin g yo u to do is ap prove. by
motion, a new co ntract wi th Lo gistic System ·. They are the primary \'Cnd or for our CAD sys tem ... our records
m.:na gemc nt sys 1em fo r th e Dc :,t-1ment of Safety Ser vices. What happened was app rox imately a year ago the
Forfeiture Board approved funding to get a new field rcpri rting system fo r the Police office rs so th at th ey can wo rk
off of their in-car computers to actu all y do the reportin g 1n the co mput er. dow nl oa d it and have all that done there
witho ut having 10 come bac k to the s1ati on. During th e process of all th at it was discovered that, with the assistance
of the IT department agai n. we needed a significant up grade on a lot of other co llateral types of equipment and
so ft ware. So Mr . Ingle rea ll y researched us hea vi ly and we have been working wi th Logis tic Sy stems back and fonh
•
for month s now and fin all y ha ve co me up with an agreement that meets the sta ndards th at we require here in •
Engle wood for co ntracts , especially on these technology related type iss ues. So we arc asking for approv al , by
motio n, to go ahead and app rove the con 1rn ct with Logistic Systems . The funding is there and agai n, it is not
coming out of the Ge ;1cr.:.J Fu,1d , it !c; com in g out of Fo rfeiture Funds that reside with the Poli ce Div ision primarily .
So that is the basis for it. You h:1 vc J lot of information the re :i nd I wo ul d be happ y to answe r any qu estions as
need ed .
Mayor Garrell asked if th e re were :my qu cs 1ions for Director Olso n.
Cou ncil Member Brad sha w said when wou ld th e im p!~me n1ati on ia ke place ? Director Ol so n directed th e que sti on

managemcnl so ftware th at has bee n in place sin ce, I be li e"e. laic 1997. It is ba sed on a very old pl atfor m that is
slow ly bei ng de-su pported by IBM a nd moving 10 a Wind ows platform that is goi ng to be le ss cos tl y nnd more
effi cie nt fo r th e whole sys tem. That fi rst aspec t is to be imp leme nt ed by the end ofOc1obcr. Th en we will go int o
th e fie ld repo rtin g sys tem imp lemc nt a1ion, whil.:h is depende nt on th e up grade and tha t should be done by th e end of
