(b) Bru ce McD•"J well, 32 50 South El ati, sa id I auended the won; sess ion on the 28th re gard in g how th e Ci ty is goi ng to rai se ta xes ... actuall y 1hey were talking about new taxes, and I guess I had so me issue s. You are loo ki11g confu sed Ma yo r, but yo u were there . Ma yo r Brad sha w said I know, but I'm co nfused with the term taxes, what ta xes? Mr . McDowell said it wa s the "lu cky you work in Englewood" lax. I believe . The Mayor sta ted 1hat is the occ uptfion lax. Mr . McDo well said it had so me so n of ca tchy name . As a pe rso n who live s in Eng lewood and works in Englewood, I wou ld be the one who would pay that . You know, I have no problem pa ying la xes. I believe thi s one is reg re ss ive ... evcryt-•Kl y ends up paying a flat rate. rega rdl ess of how much money you ma ke. As a secretary/treas urer of Communic a1ions Workers of Ame ric a. w-.: have our offi ce right here in Eng lewood . We ha ve a pa yroll of around 30<' oeo ple ... actu all y it is abo ut 32 0. On any given payroll pe ri od. I pro br.bly only have 50 to 70 emp1 u1ees . ~omc of th em only work ing a coup le hou rs. and a lot of these peop le rna y indeed wo rk in their regu lar jobs in Denver or Aurora where th ey already pa ; L' head tax. But the bu sine ss il:-clf is go ing 10 ge t taxed for ea ch one of these . I find this to bt. something really hard on busine sses wilh part-time ~mp loyees, he sa id, and 1 j ust wond ered if the re had be !D any co nside rati on give n to thi s. Let me say, I did not hcur very much di sc uss ion at th at work ses sion. It seemed lik e i:veryo ne pretty much had their minds made up ·hat thi s wa s going to be the ea sies t tax 10 sell to th e people , becauc;e we arc reall y talking abou t taxing those other peo ple , the one s who live out there and just come here to work. So I under sta nd 1hat piec e. but I wonde red Englewood City Council May 19, 2003 Page 4 if 1here ha d bee n any discuss ion abo ut 1hc part -lim e empl oyee th al onl y works 1wo hours fo r a give n bus in ess in a pay period . The oth er issue I have , and I didn'1 hear it add ressed, wa s what happens when busin es s picks up , sales tax reve nu e is genera ted agai n, and now we have :i new lax . Wha t happe ns? Is there :i sunscl on this or arc we go ing to lowe r so meone clsc·s tax and kee p thi s one? I see where so mewhere tonig ht we 're ta lkin g nbo ul so me so rt of an incc n1i ve pac kage for Ga ri Sports. Is 1ha1 :m o ffset? It is just a que stio n. Thank yo u very much. he said. Mayor Bra dshaw said 1ha1 is a good qu es tio n. Thank yo u. I thin k o ur Ci1y Auurn c~ co uld ad dre ss th e part - time concern . We disc ussed th at th is eve ni ng. City Atto rn ey Brmz man sa id in th e Stud y Sess ion, the ball ol questi on in it iall y proposed had an hour li mit of 20 hour s. Th at bas bee n shift ed 10 a doll ar limi l, so th ere is goi ng to be a minimum amoun t th at an empl oyee ac tuall y ha s to wo rk . th at bein g $5 00.00 befo re the tax wo ul d :ic tu all y come in to pl ay . That wo uld be fo r the pe riod of a mo nlh . Th e oth er iss ue, re garding rebates of lax or sun sets ... no the re currently is n't n sunset pro vis ion built int o thi s one and that is rese rvin g th e righ l to Co unci l. So if th ings do tu rn aro und and we co uld give th e ta x back, it's savin g th at que sti on, so they co uld give th e mill levy bac k, they co uld reduce sa les tax or !h ey co uld elimin ate th is tax . So, no, the re isn'1 :i sun set prov ision, he sa id, becau se we arc kee pi ng that op ti on open to Co unci l. M:i yor Bradshaw th a nk ed Cit y Atto rney Br"1 Co un cil Member Garren sa id I wo uld lik e to spea k fo r myse lf on thi s one. When yo u said it was an easy one to do ... tha t wa s not reall y the reaso n I did it. There we re th ree different op1ions th at seemed viabl e and we th oug h! two of them crea1ed problem s. One is a sa les tax on se rvices. whi ch ha s ne ve r been done in th e St aie of Colora do. So we tho ught impl ement ati on. in my view, wo uld have been ve ry diffi c ult . The other one was a propert y tax increase. With the sc hoo l sys tem in 1ro ubl e, and we all kn ow about so me of the c u1backs th ey ha ve had 10 make. , .... y ma y be seeking their own pro perty tax increase. and I did not want 10 ste p on what I conside red the ir major fondin g mec han ism. So tha t is th e reaso n. he sai d. why I fell th is wo uld be a be lier ro ute. as opposed to th e easiest. Ma yor Brads haw said tha t my idea was th at ,·.1· 1,.i\~· ,·e~ple who come in here to wo rk du rin g th e day and do n't li,•e here, and they need to pa y fo r so rr : •.)1 ·:, ... ~c rvices tha t the y req uire ... pol ic e and fi re, since th at is 37 '1t of our bud ge !.

The City is prohibited fr om enacti ng laws re stricting concea led weapons. Senate Bill 25 i~ more gene ral in nature on prohibiti on. Basically, lhe Legislature is sayi ng that ci ti es may not enac t law s restrictin g any thing th at the State has taken purview to, wit h regard to g11n s, except , an d th1:y have an exception, is for open carry . So, in Englewood in th e pa st, before the two se nate bills, yo u co uld carry your weapon openly ... mea ning out. Co uncil Member Yurchick said Colorado is an open carry state. Attorney Brotzman said is a11 ope n carry state, unl ess it is prohibited in certain areas. For insta nce , in the past the parks rules prohibited hand guns . So yo u co uldn ·1 have a hand gun in the parks. Well, they act ually go t rid of the park language in Sena te Bill 25, except they said yo u co uld reenact an ordi nance prohibiting in speci fi c places and, he said , many of the areas on the li st are parks . Co unc il Mem be r Yurchick said but this doesn't prevent carryi ng a con cea led weapon. Attorney Brotzman replied that no. yo u may have a concealed weapon in the parks. Mr. Yurchi ck sa id so once they draw it, it is an open weapon. City Attorney Brotzman sai d yes, once it is no longe r on your person , it would be open carry.

He said this is a resolution transferring $775,000.00 from the ServiCcntcr Fund retained earnings to the General Fund, to help the General Fund keep its fund balance up during th is economic downturn, by increasing its undcsignatcd/unrescrved fund balance. I should mention, he said, lhal lhe cash balance in lhe ServiCenter Fund, at lhe end of last year, was $1,654,836.00, which came from c harges to lhc General Fund, and other funds, for services rendered. So lhcy had buih up that fund balance over a period of lime. During U', downturn in the economy, he said, we arc just requesting a transfer back to lhc General Fund . Mayor Bradshaw said this is a one•li me transfer. Director Gryglc wicz sai d yes. Mayor Bradshaw ask ed if there were any questions. Council Member Yurc hick sa id he had one. So they arc billing the City and making a profit? Director Gryglewicz said no , they arc not really making a profit What they did was they built up some of those funds. fo r some of their ca pital and other re placement needs, and right now. the re is not a use for it and the General Fund needs are more imminent, so they are tram:ferring so me ba ck. 1v1ayor Bradshaw asked if this is fo r ve hicle purchases.

Cou ncil Member Yurchick said so th ey weren 't charging a pro fit . but ~. are including an arbitrary number in there to build up for ca pit al, capital expenditures and wha te\'~r th ey need .

The pump out at the McLell an Reservoir was th e fir st deep well that we con structed, he said. It was principally co nstruc ted 10 allow us to meet our contractual ob ligati ons to Hi ghland s Ran ch, duri ng a period or drought. and it has worked during thi s period. Now it 3ppears that so me of th e press ure is off, but we will be dri llin g one more well in tha t area for the same purpose ... this being, always ha vi ng available water. It is very imponant to us . because then it firms up olhc r wate rs that we lease to Highhmds Ran ch, and provides us with a much higher price . The well wa s built a number of years ago ... probab ly abou t 15 yea rs 11go, and pumpi ng co nd iti ons have changed since then , and through use. we arc finding it is drawing more current , than it was originally designed for and we need to rehabilitate ii. We went out to look for bidders, he said, and it is a difficult thing to find now, because it is very hard to find so meone in th e pump busine ss 10 work fo r you . We were ab le 10 ge t a bid from Mclemore Pump. which would have bee n one of our fir st cho ices anyway . They submitted a bid and we reviewed ii, then had Phil Manin of Manin and Wood go over ii with us and we negotiated wi th them and rem oved some of 1he things 1ha1 were in th e proposa l that we didn'1 think were necessa ril y appropriate . We got th em down to a price of $63.8 85.00 . There may be so me change orders , ir so me of 1he conditions that they were trying 10 an1i c ipate occ ur , but we think those will be fairly minor .
