to cxpluin th em scpurn lcl y. I wa s n linl e surpri sed 1h a1 we did nol vote on them separately . For th e Cit y 1•fana gc r
the reason I hat I vo led no w:is because (I) I have a linle bi t of a problem with th e process that we use a nd ~2) I think
it is inappropriate for a pro fessio nal to hold out money in 1ha1 sum as a reten ti on. W.-; ce rtainl y se c people go ahead

is appropria te ror us to put 1hcm in a position where we arc dangling money in fro nt or th em in order for th em ju st 10
stay . So th at is wny I voted agai nst that one. l mi su nd ers tood Dan 's. I did talk to him and 10ld him th at I would be
votin g againsl it, but I th ought we we re doing a 12% incre ase and that was not !he case. So th e amount of money
1ha1 we ended up with is so methin g that I agreed with and I would hnve vo ted yes fo r that one . Fo r the Judge , whi le
we have so meo ne who is an elec1ec; officia l, once agai , I have o huge problem with the process of us ju st rece iving
informati on on what other muni cipa lities pa y. We arc giving our judge the sa me co mpensation in a co mmunity of
32,000 peo pl e as the jud ge makes in Aurora, with a popu lation of 290,000 . That shou ld not be the goa l. I think ii is
in11ppropria1 e. So Judge Vince Atcnci o's sa lary increase 10 S106 ,000 .00 was part of my no vo te.
(ii) Council Member Woodward:
I. He sa id I was a vo lunteer al our Tire and Leaf Pickup last Saturday. We are goi ng 10 have it again th is
Saturday. It would be Englewood's tum . We do this with Littleton. We are expecting a lot of wet lea ves thi s week.
If anyo ne here is go in g 10 be there vo lunteerin g, make sure to bring yo ur gloves and wet wipe s.
2. He sa id j ust a reminder to everybody 1hnt tomorrow is our opportunity to exerci sr; one of our main
rights ... 1hat is voting. Hope fully everybody will get out there and exercise that righ t
Co uncil Membe r Bradshaw sai d where is thi s on Saturday? Mr . Woodward s.,id it is at the comer of Zuni and
Belleview. It is on a lot theft'. There will be a big Eagle Waste Management 1ruck there collecti ng the leaves and
so me stacks of tires.
(iii) Council Member Wolosy n said I don 't ha ve anything in particular except th at I wou ld
like 10 comment on the salaries. I think each one of us approaches the way we make these determinat ions
differentl y. As I think it was di scussed , it is a combination of performance, salary comparisons and also the cost of
replace ment. We have a lot of professio nal s who dedicate a lot of time and expertise 10 o ur community . It is pan of
our dut y 10 the community to keep people here nnd to compensate them in a manner that makes them want to stay in
public service .
