6 . Recognition of Scheduled Public Comment
There were no scheduled visitors .
7 . Recognition of Unscheduled Public Comment
(a) John (Jack) Reid , an Englewood resident, sa id these are comments mainly derived from
neighbors, and fellow, morning coffee cup dr inkers , based on the headlines that were in the Englewood Herald
about Englewood being nearly bankrupt. There were suggestions about what happened to this or couldn't we
cut back on this, to alleviate a mill levy. And these are my comments or comments that were given to me . By
the way, I asked them , why don 't you tell your councilman ... and I don 't know who it is, so I am representing
some unknown Englewood representatives . The f irst item was Lowe's that was recently completed off of
Bellev iew ... the understanding , of one of them , was that this was partially in Englewood and we would derive
Englewood sales tax from th is, but that had been moved. The second comment was on the dump that
Englewood deposited refuge in, j ust west of San ta Fe where the new shopping cente r is going in ... that we pa id
someth ing like $200,000 .00 for someth ing that w e d idn 't do or that was taken care of. The th ir d one was the
C ity Manager is asking for an assistan t. .. th is would be an additional th ing . And the comment that I have , this
would be the art bus that travels around the City p icking up passengers and so on . I go to the gym about five
days a week on old Hampden and the most that I have ever seen, e ither board ing or getting off th is bus and th is
was only one occasion , and th is was four people. Most of the time I see nobody gett ing off or only one person .
Those are my comments . Thank you .

Nays : None
Motion carried and the public hearing opened .
Economic Development Coordinator Hollingsworth , being duly sworn, said that the Proof of Publication of notice
of this Public Hearing was in the Englewood Herald on May 25, 2007 and I will submit that for the record. On
April 1 ih the Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing on this matter to consider an amendment
to Title 16 of the Englewood Municipal Code, that would allow for banners to be placed on streetlights within the
South Broadway right -of-way, subject to a licensing agreement to the City of Englewood . Should this
amendment be approved by City Council , the South Broadway Business Improvement District, and other City
approved districts , would be allowed to install banners on streetlights . Installation of banners would be
managed through a licensing agreement, through the City of Englewood and the banners must meet and be
maintained in accordance with an approved Xcel permit. That concludes my comments for the public record .
Thank you .
Mayor Wolosyn said is there anyone who would like to speak on this issue during the Public Hearing. There
was no one . She said if not, I will ask for a motion to close this Public Hearing .

(c) Resolutions and Motions
(i) Director Gryglewicz presented a recommendation from the Finance and Administrative
Services Department to adopt a resolution authorizing a Supplemental Appropriation from the Public
Improvement Fund and the Open Space Fund . He said, this a supplemental appropriation to the 2007 Budget.
The Public Improvement Fund is spending $200 ,000 .00 for Golf Course redevelopment oversight during land
preparation ; the source of funding is the Golf Course lease proceeds . The Open Space Fund is taking
$62 ,500 .00 from unreserved/undesignated fund balance for the purchase of the Oxbow Property .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there was any discuss ion or questions .
Council Member Woodward sa id I have a quest ion . On the Council Communication it says here ... oh wa it, I
think I have answered my own question . I see under Open Space Fund, source of fu nds on Reserved Fund
Balance and I didn't think the Open Space Funds were the re ... so never mind.
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any other questions . There were none .
COUNCIL MEMBER WOODWARD MOVED, ANO IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 11 (c)

A R ES OL UTI ON AP P RO VI NG A S UPP LE M ENTAL A P P RO PRIATI ON T O TH E 2 00 7 BUDG ET FOR T HE
PUBLI C IMPROVEMENT FUND AND T HE OP E N SP ACE FUN D .
Council Member Barrentine said I want you to know that I am going to be voting against this . This is almost a
hundred percent increase in the amount of money that we were using . I believe we should have had more
information about this and I will be voting against it.
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there was any other discussion . W ,rt,UtJiJ
Council Member Woodward said I would just like to acknowledge and thank the City of iftglewootf, South
Suburban Parks and Recreation District and the Arapahoe County Open Space Trails Board for their financial
support on the Oxbow project and the Open Space funding . The South Platte Working Group sees this as the
kickoff ... the first purchase with money that has been put up by the communities, the county, South Suburban
and, hopefully, the Legacy Grant coming from GOCO . And I would also like to thank the Trust for Public Land
for their work on this project. With regard to the $200,000 .00 Golf Course environmental oversight
expenditures, I think that is very prudent on our part , as far as the environmental issue in making sure that we
are we 1 protected on that. So, I certainly support that too .
Council Member Barrentine said one more, just to address what Council Member Woodward ha said, we are
putting out the Open Spac Fund on Oxbow, when we are not going to be able to u ethos fund m ybe for
n ,ghborhood p rk . Ir lly would hav Ilk d to have looked t this more. To addres what c1t1zen brought

Session was that Littleton ... in exchange for not do ing revenue sharing with us ... would contr ibute at a highe r
rate , not only just to their 15% to the land that is in Littleton, but as a consideration to us, that they would
contribute at a higher rate, for us giving them a parking lot so that they could have the Lowe 's , that they would
contribute more to that Oxbow project and help us out. It is my understanding that they are only contributing the
15% to that piece of property that is in there and also expecting us to do some maintenance piece of it. I believe
that I have enough concerns that I don't want to vote for it at this time .
Mayor Wolosyn asked if there was any other discussion .
Council Member Woodward said I think that is not including South Suburban Parks and Rec, which is the Park
District down there . The City of Littleton is contribut ing , I believe , $109 ,500 .00 .
Vote results :
Motion carried .
Ayes : Council Members Mccaslin, Moore , Wolosyn , Woodward,

Nays : Council Member Barrentine
(ii) Director Kahm presented a recommendation from the Department of Public Works to
approve, by motion, awarding a contract with Thoutt Brothers Concrete Contractors, Inc . for construction of
Concrete Utility 2007 and Concrete Program 2007 in the amount of $346,919 .80 . He said the Concrete Utility
Program has been in effect s ince 1997 . We do an annual program to upgrade the concrete throughout the City .
We've talked in the past about, at some point, needing to raise fees because if you look at the financ ials , you
will realize that every year our costs of prov id ing the serv ice go up and the money that we have ava ilable for
work continues to drop as a percentage . So , at some po int in the fu ture, we w ill be com ing to you to tal k abou t
the fee inc rease that w ill eventually be necessary. But for right now , we are recommending a contract be
awarded to Thoutt Brothers . We have a multi-year history with these folks. They have been do ing a really good
job . We went back out to bid this year , had four competitive bids and Thoutt was once aga in the low bidder.
We are very satisfied w ith their work .
Mayo r Wolosyn asked if there were any questions for Rick . There were none .
COUNCIL MEMBER OAKLEY MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 11 (c) (ii) -
AWARDING A CONTRACT WITH THOUTT BROTHERS CONCRETE CONTRACTORS, INC . FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE UTILITY 2007 AND CONCRETE PROGRAM 2007 IN THE AMOUNT OF

12 . Genera l D iscuss ion
(a) Mayor's Cho ice
(i) Mayor W olosyn said there has been a reques t to change the meeting for July 2nd to July
g'h . That would mean tha t we wo uld have two regular meetings righ t in a ro w . And it was poin ted ou t to me by
staff that If we did this, because we don't have another regular meeting in July, it would just stretch out the
length of time before any ordinance could be considered on final reading . So, I am wondering . Do we have
anything such as contracts coming up that might have an impact on this?
City Manager Sears said I don 't know of anything right off hand .
Englewood City Council
June 4, 2007
Page 7
Mayor Wolosyn said okay. I had asked the question before and not received a response, so I just wanted
everyone to be aware of that.
City Attorney Brotzman said we don't have any election items or issues that would be affected by moving the
date .
Mayor Wolosyn said I don 't really have an opinion on this so what is Council's choice?
Council Member Moore said I had actually initiated the request, just because we have kind of normally done it
but the thing that occurred to me later was, is that actually more of a burden on the staff, than a help? My
thought was a lot of people would like to take the 4th of July week off, but then it later occurred to me, well it
pushes it to the 9th and then no one is there to get ready for the 91h . So, if it actually makes it worse on staff, I
am completely happy to leave it on the 2nd . City Manager Sears said I think it would actually.
Council Member Moore said okay, I am happy to leave it on the 2nd .
Mayor Wolosyn said so is that okay to leave it as it is ... the July 2nd meeting?
City Manager Sears said the staff ... because of the 4th of July ... will be here anyway during· that week, I suspect.
I think the point is that Thursday is the critical time, if the meeting were moved to the 91h .
(ii) Mayor Wolosyn said I visited Simon Center and Orchard Place and gave them an
update on the art shuttle , which they very much do support . Plus , they told me things I didn't know about it,
which were useful and I'm going to write a list of things for Council to see ... the things they shared with me .
(iii) Mayor Wolosyn said in our packets is a Council Communication about the Oxbow
purchase and I think it is very informative . I am glad to see that the County put in $136,000 .00 . And so, Open
Space ... the price of it only goes up and I know it is hard to spend money, but one of our jobs is to invest in the
future, so I think we made a decent decision .
(b} Council Members ' Choice
(i) Council Member Barrentine :
1. She said part of what I was talking about with Oxbow, we find in our packet as well, and that is that we
were surprised by the school dumping some property ... Duncan Park ... a neighborhood park that without Open
Space Funds, the City, probably, wouldn't have been able to afford to maintain . This is an asset that is already
in this community and one of the reasons that I would like to keep those funds more viable for surprises that
happen like this .
2. She said congratulations to the Parks and Recreation Department. I understand that the two grants
were approved for Duncan Park and for the picnic shelter improvements at Bellev iew Park in this community .
That is what I think the Open Space Funds should be used for, for right now and I appreciate that you guys did
the work to keep Duncan Park open for District 3.
3. She said I attended the Graffiti Art Show at OTC on May 26 1
h and was very impressed with some of the
artists down there .
4 . She said I also attended, last night, the Denver Bronze Hand Bell ensemble here at Hampden Hall and
appreciate the effort that staff is making to make sure that that is a venue that can be leased out as often as
possible . It will always be subsidized, but at least it is less subsidized if people are w illing to make it available
as much as possible so that these groups can go ahead and use it. I wanted to say specifically to Carol , that I
think that is very nic that we have people on staff that are willing to do tho kind of events , o that we can
ma that op n to th community and kind of off t th cost.

(ii) Council Member Tomasso :
1. He said we received a memorandum in our packet about the Rocky Mountain Rail Authority and joining
that. I brought it up at the budget meeting and had Council input on that. We also need to appoint a Council
member to that Committee .
Mayor Wolosyn said can I put that on another agenda? Can we or do they need to know right now?
Council Member Tomasso said it has been floating around and it may fall into a crack, so it needs to be put on
the agenda . Mayor Wolosyn said okay, thank you, I will .
2. He said the Acoma Street parking lot area ... that natural park in the center ... the merchants have
approached me and complained about the lack of maintenance on the landscaping . The bushes are becoming
overgrown and they suspect drug dealing going on at that location, so possibly we need to increase patrols on
that.
3. He said I also received a phone call from a citizen who had worked on a person 's car and the person
had complained to the police that they wanted to get their car back and he was in a confrontation with the police
and he was stating that it was a mechanic's lien, it was a civil issue and it was resolved by the Sergeant in
charge, but he has requested that the police be informed on what is a civil issue , what constitutes a mechanics
lien and what constitutes a police issue. So , he spoke with me at length on that issue . He also had received
training as a police officer at one time .
4 . He said as for the Oxbow purchase, our citizen survey came back to us stating that they requ ired and
would like to have more natural places to hike and walk and this fits that bill . That was one of the priorities in the
citizen 's survey and that is why I voted for it.
(iii) Council Member Woodward :
1. He sa id I too would like to acknowledge that we did get our funding, the $250,000 .00, for Duncan Park
and the $137 ,000 .00 for the picnic shelter improvements at Belleview Park and Thursday we will receive that
fund i ng offic ially .
2 . He sai d I j ust wan ted to ment ion Sounds of Summer starts on Thursday , June 21st and it will be The
Na ch o Men .
13 . C ity Manager's Report
(a) City Manager Sears said Darren Hollingsworth informed me of some pretty exciting news prior
to coming in here . I asked Darren , if he would go to the podium and make an announcement.
Darren Hollingsworth said I am pleased to announce that I received a phone call from a broker this afternoon,
that leases space at the Dartmouth Industrial Park. As you recall, Kacey Fine Furni ture has ta k en a location at
Dartmouth Industrial Park . They will have a new neighbor and that neighbor will be Vitamin Cottage . They will
have a 40 ,000 square foot warehouse facility and they will also have about 50 new jobs . This will be a major
warehouse distribution center for the front range . It is very exciting news and I will roll out more information as
that becomes available .
Mayor Wolosyn said thank you Darren, very well done . Council Member Woodward said congratulations.
City Man ger Sears said good work by Darren and the staff.
(b) City M n g r S ars aid Tom Ashburn was in this afternoon . I didn't get a chance to get thi
inform hon 1n th box to th Council, but th re are om tour ... and I will hav th i information out to you thi

On October 2, 2006, Habitat for Humanity of Metro-Denver (HFHMD) met with City Council at the
scheduled Study Session to discuss their proposed housing project at 2079 West Vassar Avenue . By
consensus, Council supported the submission of a grant application by HFHMD to Arapahoe County to
acquire and develop the site into eight units of paired housing. Council also approved by consensus
HFHMD's request to waive building permit fees associated with this development as part of the City's
contribution to the project. A letter of support dated November 6, 2006 was signed by the Mayor.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approvi ng a Resolution waiving the building permit fees associated w ith the
development of eight units of paired housing known as 2025, 2049, 2065, and 2079 West Vassar
Av enue and 2074, 2078, 2 082 , and 2086 West Hillside Avenue.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver (HFHMD), a non-profit corporation, is a home ownership
program that offers a const ructi ve means for families to break the cycle of poverty. HFHMD builds
an d renovates single family detached homes, sing le family paired homes and town homes
anywhere in th e D enver metropolitan area.
Council supported the submittal of HFHMD's grant application to Arapahoe County at the October
2, 2006 Study Session. A letter of support dated November 6, 2006 was signed by the Mayor.
Arapahoe County approved HFHMD's grant application to purchase the property located at 2079
West Vassar Avenue. The purchase of the property by HFHMD was completed in February 2007.
The existing structure was demolished and HFHMD is subdividing the two large lots into eight
buildable lots that are in compliance with the cu rrent R-2-A zoning for that area. The new
subdivision creates eight lots known as 2025 , 2049, 2065 and 2079 West Vassar Avenue and 2074,
2078, 2082 and 2086 West Hillside Avenue. Paired single family homes are proposed to be built
and each home will be sold to qualified low-income families. The home sizes will range from 1000
to 1 :WO square feet and will be designed and built in compliance with the Englewood Unified
De elopment Code. HFHMD anticipates starting construction by the end of September 2007.
City staff is not involved with the development or the execution of this project except for the
required subdivision, development, and permitting reviews normally done for any development
project. Other than foregoing building permit fees, no other monetary support is being provided by
the City to HFHMD for this project.
A Resolution is required to waive the building permitting fees as stated in the November 6, 2006
letter of support.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City of Englewood will waive building permit fees as its contribution to the project. Based on
estimated square footage of housing units, this will be approximately $5,200.

ARTICLE 8. COMPENSATION
The City's pay philosophy is to position the maximums of EEA pay grades at the median of the
maximums of the market.
A. RECLASSIFICATION OF POSITIONS
If a job is reclassified to a grade higher than it occupied prior to the Salary Survey ( as defined in
the Compensation and Classification Plan document) the incumbent' spay will remain the same
until his/her next Performance Evaluation. If however, the employee's pay at the time of
reclassification is below the minimum of the new grade range, it will be brought to the minimum
of the new grade range prior and in addition to any increase based upon the Performance
Evaluation score as described below.
B. WAGE INCREASES
Employees whose wages are below the maximum point of their grade range are eligible for a
base pay building developmental increase , from 3% to a maximum of 5%, on their annual
evaluation date.. An employee's increase percent is based on the score received on his/her
Performance Evaluation, not to exceed the maximum of the grade range.
Employees who have progressed through the developmental zone and reached the maximum of
their grade range will no longer be eligible for base pay building increases. They will, however,
be eligible for a one-time, lump-sum, Merit Pay award . The Merit Pay award is based on the
score received on the employee's Performance Evaluation.
Employees in the developmental zone whose evaluation scores would raise their pay above the
maximum of the range, will be given base pay increases to the maximum of the grade range
only . Any additional award will be non base building and awarded in the form of Merit Pay .
Note: Regardless of the Total Score on the Performance Evaluation, no pay increase or Merit
Pay award will be granted if an employee is on a Performance Improvement Plan in any area.
Once the conditions of the PIP have been met, the employee will receive the appropriate
increase, retroactive to the PIP completion date.
C. A change in the evaluation date will result when:
(1) The employee is on leave without pay. (See Article 27.) Leave of Absence
(Without Pay)
(2) The employee terminates his employment and later is reemployed. The new
evaluation date shall be determined by his new employment date .
Fundamental changes to the above will be made only with prior consultation and review with
a ociation representatives.

Military leave of absence will result in no loss of any condition of employment that would
have normally occurred if the employee had not been absent for such purposes.

orders that will result in a leave of absence for active military duty. Employees are also required to
notify their supervisors at the earliest possible date upon learning of scheduled military duty.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
June 18, 2007 11 Ci Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City
and the EEA for 2008 and 2009
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Human Resources Department Sue Eaton, Director of Human Resources
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
The previous Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Englewood Employee Association was
approved by Council for 2006 and 2007.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff requests Council adopt a Resolution approving the Collective Bargaining Agreement between
the Englewood Employees Association and the City of Englewood for the years 2008 and 2009.
The contract covers approximately 199 employees.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The City of Englewood and the Englewood Employees Association entered into negotiations in May
of 2007 in accordance with the City of Englewood Charter. The members of the Englewood
Employees Association duly ratified, by a majority vote, the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
No significant changes to the contract were made. All wage increases will continue to be based
upon employee performance as indicated by the performance evaluation score. No base wage
increases will be granted employees whose wages meet or exceed the maximum point of their
jobs' grades. They will be granted a one-time, lump sum Merit Pay award based upon performance
as indicated by the performance evaluation score.
The duration of the collective bargaining agreement will be from January 1, 2008 through
December 31, 2009
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The impact of the wage increases and Merit Pay awards to the General Fund will be approximately
$179,000 for 2008. The impact of the wage increases and Merit Pay awards to the General Fund
for 2009 will be approximately $186, 160. Additional cos ts associated with the wage changes
(F.I.C.A, Medicare and 401 (a) match) will be approximately $26,223 for 2008, for a total of
$205,2 23 . Additional costs associated with 2009 wage changes will be approximately $27,272 for
a total of $213,432 .
The EEA wages associated with the General Fund are 51 % of the total EEA wages, so the financial
impact organizationally is approximately twice the amount listed above.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that Council approve, by Motion, the purchase of one bucket loader, Model No.
L-100-CT, from MacDonald Equipment Company in the amount of $68,788.
