(ii) Director Ross presented a recom mendati on from 1hc Departme nt of Public Works to
adopt n reso lution supporting Six Year Reauthorizat ion of the Transpo rtat ion Equity Act for the 21" Century (TEA·
21) regarding TEA·21 Funding. He sai d I am here tonight to ask you 10 consider passi ng a re so lution that would
indi cate yo ur support for the Senate version of the TEA•2 I Funding. This measure has been di sc ussed and debated
fr, .. about a year in the Congress. The Preside nt has come out and sai d that he would suppon a transponation bill of
256 billion dollars . The United States Senate vo ted 78 to 20 against that, saying that no, it needs to be closer to 3 18
billion dollars . The Department of Transportation completed 11 study of the conditions and in assessing the
performance of our highways and transit they, actually, have come out in fa vo r of 375 billion dollars . The House,
just Friday, passed their version of the snme bill and they came in at 293 billion dollars . So, the Sennte version goes
the fanhest toward addressing th e needs. That is why the Colorado Municipal League and the National League of
Cities have asked their member cities to show their support, so when the House and the Senate get together to
discuss this in committee and try 10 come up with a compromise bill, hopefully , they will take resol utions from
agencies such as Englewood into consideration. Mr. Ross sai d if you have any questions , I will be happy to try to
address them.
Mayor Gilrl'Ctt asked if 1here were questions for Mr. Ross.
Council Member Wolosyn said only to compliment yo u on the packet item . 1t was informative and I liked it.
Mayor Garrett sa id what's the purpose and where will thi s resolution go and how will it be used? Mr. Ross sa id it
will be forwarded to our Co ngressional delegati on. We will also send a copy to the Colorado Municipal League so
they will know that our Congressional people have recei,·ed it. It will carry whatever weight our Congressional
~ople will give it.
U:tyor Garrett sa id what does it mean to Englewood? Mr. Ross said every two yea rs we apply for transponation
i 1,,·"ovc mcnt mone3 •. In th e las t coup le of years we havt: received almost $2,000,000.00 wonh of projects through
this process . This year we are in the process of getting money for a traffic sign al at Kenyon and Broa dway out of
the Safety Fund and we arc also in the process of getti ng money for the Broadway Strcctscape, where we impro ve
the medians along South Broadway. Obviously, if thi s gets held up and there is no money there, then th ese projects
wi ll ha ve to be held back until th ose monie s become a\·ailable . So, we mi ss this wi ndow of opponunit y. given the
current constructio n cl ima tt. :md the favorable bid s th at we are receiving and who knows what else.

12. Gener al Dis cussion
(a) Mayo r's Choice
(i) Mayor Ga rrell said on Ma y 8th we will have our tour of Pirat e's Cove , I thin k so me of
the poo ls will be fu ll . so fo r th ose of yo u who wo uld like to jump in, foc i free .
(ii) Mayor Garre tt sa id I wi ll not be mee tin g with Ga ry Scars th is WedncsJ ay, as ne xt
Monda y night we will be mec. ing over at th e Was1ewa ter Treatment fa cil ity wit h the Ci ty of Littl eton. It is a joint
meeti ng so th at will be the agenda fo r nex t week .
(iii ) Mayo r 1 ;aueu said al so it appears I could be tes tifyi ng tomorrow on House Bill 1396.
Tha t is th e bill on dispropo rtionate fee . I will deal speci fi ca ll y wit h the iss ue, if Englewood was th e prec ipit ous to it,
we didn't ha ve a reason to be the prec ipitous to it. If it turn s out we are not. I probabl y won't be testifyi ng, but we
ha ve n't gotte n clari ty on that. We ha ve tried to do that th ro ugh severa l phone call s, but have n't gotten th at cl ari ty.
So that will be tome.row.
(b) Co unci l Membe rs' Choice
(i) Coun cil Member Tomasso sai d I am curi ous. I read th e paper on Sun da y abo ut the
drou ght , the continued drought , and wondered if it we nt on fo r ano ther th ree years wha t the Wi>.ter sitllllti on would
be, wo rse case sce nari o. in three years, in rel atio n to Englewood and our wate r ri ghts. And I wo nd ered if Stu Fonda
has a plan, a worse ci>.se scenari o wo rked out.
Di rec tor Fonda sai d I notic ed th at th e arti cle ind icated if Lake Powell cont inue s to fa ll for several yea rs, then the
Slate engin ee r at that tim e wo ul d th en try to get a State wid e pl an. And at th at poi nt , I dcn't, quite frankl y, know
what the imp ac t on us would be . If it was strict ly 1hc trnns -mounl ain di ve rsions, we huve many se ni or rig ht s on th e
ca st slope . It migh t 3ffec t our ab ilit y to provi de as much hig h pric ed wa ter to Hi ghl ands Ranch thnl we le ase. I do
not know. he said . barr ing th at th ere is al so n dro ught simult aneously on th e cast side , th ar we would be in a
ma nda tory re s1ric 1ion capaci ty at tha t po int. Howe ver , I wil l tell you tha t I am concerned abo ut it. I am not in a
pa nicky mode , bu t it is somet hi ng th at I think we will ce rtain ly look in to. If Lake Powe ll keep s dro ppin g, I think
there will be plen ty of tim e to do th at type of analysis, be cau se th e State will start a procedure i>.nd th ere will be all
ki nds of public mee tings and so fo rth which we aucnd and see what sort or th ings they co me up wi th. Quit e fr ankl y.
I don't knGw . given the doc trine of prior approp ria tions. how th ey wo uld cut people bac k. othe r tha n in thei r
seniority and we arc fa irl y seni or on most of our ri ght s. So ri ght now, I wo ul d say ii woul d be un predi ctab le a1 this
po int , bu t we wo uld probab ly be in as good a pos it ion as an ybody on the fro nt ra nge.
(ii ) Co uncil Member Yurchi ck sa id I just wa nt ed 10 thank Tom Vander mcc and Chr is Ol so n
fo r talking to th e liqu or slorc ow ner up there on Eva ns and Tejon and explain ing why. even lhough he had a lit:cnse
number. that th ere we re no arrcs 1s in his ro bbe ry. He ca ught me th e other da y and he is ex treme ly hap py with 1hc
re sponse.
(iii) Counci l Mem be r Wolosy n:
I . Sh e sa id I am se rvin g on the Swed ish Ce nt enni al Co mmitt ee. Th e main proj ~c t of that Co mmittee is a
projec t call ed Shols for Tots 10 promote chil dhood imm uni za ti on. Th ey arc go ing to have two clin ics ... onc at the

Mr . Ga rre ll as ked abou t th e da tes. Ci ty Manai;cr Scars said we act uall y re ce ived th e app li ca ti on toda)', but I don'!
remember what 1hc date was . Ms. Wolosy n said I think it will be in the summ er. Ms. Wolosy n said 1hey un derstand
that if th ere is so me one e lse in line, they may have 10 shift. Mr . Garrett said th ey arc willing to shif1 ? Ms. Wolosy n
sa id right. the iss ue here is ca n we waive the fee. Mr . Yu rchick sai d how muc h is the fee ? Ms. Wolosy n said
$150.00.
2. She sa id we had our big Back to Bac h Concc n and it was a success. I wa nl to th ank staff fo r all of the
support. It always feels good to bring people in from all over the me tro area and we received a lot of co mpl imen ts

to staff in general. Amy Doc docs a wonderful job. she sa id . Also, the previous night . th e Young Sinfonia met here .
They also perfo rm ed nnd we had another good co ncer1 and received a lot of complim ents . I hea rd peo pl e say ing

(iv) Council Member Brad shaw :
1. She said I think we have a new day 10:bor busine ss in Ray's di strict on South Bro adway. I th ought th ey
•
couldn 't go in. Mr . Tomasso said I looked at that and tri ed to decide if it was a rehab center, because the people I
saw sumding out si de did not loo k like security guards. Ms. Brudshaw sa id it is on the wes t si de of Broadway anti it
is north of Eastman. Mr. Tomasso said it is that bui ld ing complex where New Bal ance is on the nonh end and it is
on the so uth end . They arc looking for security folks for $8 10 S 11 an hour. It is hard to 1ell if it is a labor hall or
just what is going on. I crossed the street and there were a bunch of peop le standing out in front smoki ng cigarette s. •
I walked by it once and the group was a little further so uth and it looked like a methadone clinic. Ms. Bradshaw sa id
there is a meth adone cl ini c !here too. I wo uld like to make thi s a Cou iici l Request and hav e staff look into it.
2. She sa id I would also mak e a Co un ci l Requ es t fo r in fo rmati on on the num be r of car busines ses go ing in on
