take my suggesti on. The tree is bl oc kin g hi s sign and it is so methin g Iha, th e City has done: to hi s busin ess. Mike Smi th is
a fell ow th at I just met a few weeks ago who wanted to re nt th e empty Pee rl es~ Tire Store on the comer of Loga n and 285.
He wanted to put in a bu siness ... ! do n't kn ow exac tl y what kind of automobile related busi ness ... but he was told th .i t "we

Hi gh Schoo l, and he a nd his wife have a stained glass studi o. They we re in dow ntown Little ton an:I th ey decided 10 move

2. He said I wanted to mention that coming up Saturday is Breakfai.t with Santa at th e Malley Center nt 8 o'clock .
That is always a fun time, with a lot of people showing up . So if you are able to ancnd , it will be at 8 o'clock at the Malley
Center. They will have a pancake breakfast.
3. He said I wanted to ask the question about MD Liquors . I know th ose fo lks had come in and we had add res sed
that ... or I thought we had addressed it. So , if we could get feedback from Public Works or whoever on that, I would

something to the informati on about the Press Release . Council did decide that we would have a Publi c Hearin g on the Golf
Course Agreement , becau se it is a reall y big iss ue, We thi nk we need nil th e input and disc ussio n on ii that we ca n have .
Mayor Wol osy n sa id 1hii. leads to an other point about big iss ues. I have been di sc uss ing, with Gar y, the idea of hav ing a
Council retreat. A Co uncil retrea t based on the ones th at Littlet on hos. This won't be a budget retreat , in that we won't
hear reports from the different dep artments regardin g wh at th ey wa nt to spend fo r the nex t year . And it wo n't be a goa l
setting retreat, in that we ha ve se t go al s. And, I believe, our goals should form th e di sc uss ion at the retreat. We have a lot
of big iss ue s comin g up , not the least of which is if thi s agreement docs go thro ugh and that devel opm ent happen s ove r in
Sheridan , ju st the fa ct that thi s devel opment is on the edge of our commun ity and it will hove an imp act on us. And th en as
we disc ussed toni ght , the Mclellan Reservoi r, chance s of the Bates s1a1ion de ve lop ment and I think it would be helpful to
all of us to sit dow n, loo k at th ese iss ues , ha ve an opportunit y to so rt or just free form ... di sc uss th em, so that we nil ree l
stronger wh ene ver they do really come be fo re us fo r decisions. Al so, I wo uld as k anybod y to let us know if yo u have
iss ues like th at, th at I am not menti onin g. to give us. in th e nex t few weeks, so th at we can in corporate the m, if possi ble ,
into this di sc uss ion or into a Stud y Se ssio n di scuss ion in the futur e. The two dale s th at we arc look ing .1 t are eith er Febru ary
11 111 or Febru ary 25th• After di sc us sion. February 25 111 was the chosen date . Mayo r Wolos yn sa id we arc loo kin g at
so mc1hing that start s at 9 a.m. It co uld be 4 to 6 hours, but we will Lr y to make it 4, If it looks like peo ple are putt ing a lot
of thin gs on the age nda ., .I think th e goal is to have a full bod ied di sc uss ion on th ese iss ues. We will kee p yo u posted on
that.
13. City anoger 's Report
Englewood City Council
Ottember S, 2005
Poge 8
(a) City Manager Sears said I just wa nted 10 te ll Co unc il that we ... siaff ... did h:1vc a ve ry good 111cc1 ing wit h
RTD th is .TIOrning an•J we arc wo rking th roug h a num be r of issues th at. agai n, need Co un ci l direc tion rel ated to th e Bates
Stat ion and McLe llan .
(b) City Mana ge r Sea rs sa id , reg ardin g !he infor mation presented by Mr . Cohn toni ght .. staff has had both
reports and we have met with Na th an, etc. Would th e Cou nci l like the staff ... on some of these iss ues .. th e tree issue ... 10
respond lo the Council as to th e status o f th ese iss ue s?
Council Member Barrentine said I had thought that when we tnlked to Bob ... and the resu lts of that Stud y Se ssio n was that
he was going to try to pull so me of those people toge th er and find out what all of 1he co mplaints we re and co me back 10 us.
So, I th ought 1ha1 was already happen ing.
Mr. Sears sai d he ha.s met with Jon Cook, I know , and 1alked 10 Jon , but like on the tree issue, I know tha1 Jerrell Black has
been involved with trim ming lh at tree and so Bob ha sn't been involved with 1ha1 issue .
Ms. Barrentine sa id oh, I'm so rry, I thought yo u meant th e com ment that he had made about finding out . in general, what
the business people had a concern about.
Mr . Sears said this would be a respo nse to the specifics.
•
Mayor Wolo sy n sai d I would a.sk th at, because we al read y have Jon talking to Co mmunity De velop ment. .. also, I believe
Mr . Cairns has ta lked 10 thcm ... lct 's try 10 synthesize this into one piece. As I und erstand. we arc already dealing with
so me of these things ... Fantastic Fun. Mr . Sears sai d yes. we met with Nathan a week ago and we could pro vide the statu s
of thal discus sion . Ms. Wolosyn said one of these th at docs stand ou1 . I agree wit h .'im. is MD Liquors . If we could j ust
know what happened wi th that. Mr . Sears sai d, again. Jerrell did meet wi th them and they did talk about the tree trimming
and as I understood . it was acce pt able to the property owner . But I will find out for sure . Jerre ll is not here 1onigh1. Mayor •
Wolosy n sai d we need another update on that Cit y Man ager Scars sai d okay .
Council Mem ber Moore said some of the se can be filtered out . Off hand ... number I is probabl y just to update us on th at
situation . Numbc:r 2 is, again, probably an update . Number 3 seems 10 ge t at our interaction wi1h th e bu sin ess co mm unity,
as docs number 4. Number 5, ma ybe I am wrong. but 1 just think it is probably a comple 1e mi sunderstandi ng . I think our
massage law s ha ve bee n in effec t for a lot more than 7 yea rs.
Co unci l Member Woodward said. as I reca ll , Shirl ey had co me in and asked regardin g th e licen sin g and ac kn owledged that
in a meeting here .
Co uncil Member Moo re said so num ber 5 might simpl y be clarif)•in g for Mr . Ca irn 1ha1 thi s isn't exac tl y 1hc way tha1 one
played out. Number 6 is alread y go in g to ACE. Numbe r 7, again. wo uld fall in 10 our busines s int eracti on. so we co uld
probably kind of combi ne wi th 3 and 4. Num ber 8 al so does renccl on our bu sin ess invo lve ment. I think ma ybe !here is
so me separati on. For so me of these we ju st need to updale Co un cil and the rc s1 arc more about ge tt ing to our co re of how
we int erac t •: .. uh busi nesses . Is th at a fai r chara c1criza 1ion'! Cou nci l agreed it was .
Mayor Wolosyn as ked if th at was adeq uate dire cti on. Cit y M:111age r Scars sa id it was.
