7. Unscheduled Visitors
(a) T. W. Anderson no1 ed ii is a linle different from when he appeared before the Englewood
Counci l fifty yea rs ago . I want to congra1ula1e yo u all on 1hc job yo u arc doing in the redeve lopment of 1he
Cindere lla C11 y area . I thmk you arc doing a marvelous job. he said, and I am really proud of you . niosc
of you on lhc Council probably don't know who I am or what I have done in 1he past, he said, but time
doesn't permit me lo go in to that. Mayor Bradshaw encouraged him to give tl1e hi ghli g ht s. You arc a
pretty famou s person, she said. and Counci l needs to know abcut yo u.
Mr . Anderson advised that he built Hampden Mill s at Univ ersity and Hampd en in 1952 . I also built
apar1me111s on So uth Bannock and in 1972 I built the buildings across rhe street. I brought Exxon
Corpora uon and Sinclair Co rpornll on from my building that I built downtown. at 1860 Sm1 1h Lincoln, out
here and they provide a l01 of jobs for th e City of Englewood. Englewood's influence goes beyond th e
limi1 s of 1hc Ci ty of Englewood, he sa id . because I ran the water and sewe r clear ou t to Co unty Line Road
for the City of Englewood, which now serves the Ci ty of Centennial. I laid ii ou t for the Commissioners in
1953 . .ill the Y.'ay from Broadway 10 Holly, Or chard 10 Cou nty Linc Road . I was also Chaim1an of 1he
\1rpon Authority . The Au1hority did the Arapahoe Co unty Airpon for the Co mmi ssio ner s. So I rec, ...,.1ize
I.he job that you folks are c!oing here , he sa id . and I hope you conlinue. I ha ve one suggc slion. which I
talked to Gary Sca rs about. I would like for you to see if yo u can have more space iO r office buildings.
because the y provid e jobs. You ha \'e RTD here and you have the add itional apanmcnts to provide housing
for the people . So. he noted, if you had add11iona l office buildings all they would h.1 vc to do is get on their
bicycle or wa lk across the stree t. As I was tell mg Mr . Sca rs, people arc going to ge t awfully !ired of that J.
25 Jcal. going smnh, fo r the nex t fi ve yea rs. he said, so I thmk you hav e an opponunity to rea ll y do
somc th1n c . Agam . he said, thank you and II ha s been mcc to sec yo u all .

Jud g-: Davis asked if he might take a moment or persona l privilege:. I bring you grcc11 ngs fr om your friends
to the nonhwes1. Ma yor Karen S1uan and th members llf the Broomfield City Council. They asked tha t I
con"ey their best wishe s and wish you a good new year. Our Counc il , he said, now serves in a dual
cap:1ci1y as they also serve as the Board of County Comnu ss ioners in the new clly anJ coun1 y. I have
~nO\\ll your Judge, Vin cent Atencio, for nigh on 10 25 years. He a11d I were both m pm•ale prnct1 ce.

Wheal Ridge City CouP..:il, also send their be st wis hes. One of my most notable accomplishmen1s whi le I
was in Wheal Ridge . :1c sa id , wa s th at I was ab le lo hire away yo ur then Deputy Coun Administrator
Tamara Wolfe as my Coun Administra tor and s he served with us fo r three yea rs before Englewood hired
her back as the Co11n Administra tor. So I have some tics to yo ur co urt that go lo ng and deep. Vi nce
At encio s1artcd, apparentl y, as one of yo ur pan-time judges some fifteen years ago a nd four years ago was
elec ted to his fo )I 'ull-tcrm as th e presiding judge on a full-rime basis. l'm not sur,; yo u all fully appreciate
thi s, he said, but your Ci 1y has the distinction of havi ng a C harter that is unique, t1e rlmp s in many ways, but
ccnain\y as fa r as the process for se lec tin g judges. Your Charter provides for thi.• only popul arl y elected
judge in th e State of Colorado th at stands in an elec1ion wi th opponents, should any cho ose to run . Your
Judge Atencio is in fact so po pular that no o ne chose to run against him thi s last time. he said, and I
un de rs1and that he was one o f the largest vo te getters in the la st electio n. Perhaps that may hi.I.VI." been by
defoul!. but I always like to think th at it was because he was doing s uch a fine job that no one chose to run
against hun a nd 1ha1 is ... ~n.iin ly m y eva luati o n of hi s job. So I am delighted and honored that he asked me
to admi nis1 c r his oath of office. We've chr-:ked and I ca n do that , he said. I ha ve the authority to
adnunister oa ths of office througho ut the Stale of Colorado, so it will be official and hi s term will
commence upon 1he swe:iri ng in, Thank yo u for in vi ting me, he said, i i is my pl easwe to be here.

1l1cre was a round of app lau se.
Ju dge Ate ncio th:1nk ed eve ryo ne for giving him the opportu nit y 10 serve as the M unic ip al Judge for another
tcm1. I thmk 1hosc who know me. kn ow how muc;1 I enj oy my job and how proud I am of the job we do. I
th ink, he said. that we do a n exce llent job to provide good service !o the C ity. I also would like 10 thank
Ju dge Oa\'is fo r being here. He is a c:e lebrity, as the first judge for the City and CoWl ty of Broomfie ld and,

people on both sides of this issue . It has almost been 50 /50, she said, and I know some people would

the National League of Cities Conference. I talkctl ~o Sue Bradshaw today, she said, and I don ·1 like do ing

the airfare, because my airfare is $451.00 round-trip and usually it bas hr.en running $1,200.00. l would
like Council's approval to attend this Conference , she said, if possible . I wi ll be flying out Thursday and I

(viii) Ma yor Bradshaw noted that the Metro Ma yo rs Caucus ha s bee n very acti ve v,ith
e-mails and they arc trying to ge t us 10 give our 2002 Private Activity Bond allocatio n to them I pa s!".ed the
information on 10 staff, she said, the y have researched ii and I understand Director Simpson has fo rmed an
opinion.
C ity Manager Scars advised that either he or Bob Simpson coulc! -:.Jdrc ss this issue . Mayor Brad:::haw se nl
th e information to me, he ,;;aid. and I asked Director Simµso n 10 take :i look at it, because he is probably as
close to thi s as anyone in te rms of the whole issue of Industrial Re,.,enue Bonds and Private Activity Bonds.
Mr. Scars c;tated that thi s year we we re designated as an entit y to receive an allocation of bond money. In
th e past. he sa id. Co un c il ha s see n fit, through Tom Bums· leadership, to transfer the major:ty of that to th e
Metro Ma yors Caucus for a bigger pool. They have asked Mayor Bradsh:iw to continue to do th:11. The
decision 10 transfer tho se funds does not really need to happen until M:irch of this ye:ir. What we wanted to
do, he said, was hav e o ur bond counsel, Vi cki Mattox, and also, with C ity Attorney Brotzman's help , h:ive
the bond attomt:y th:it would relate to that, 1alk to Council :ibout how those funds would be used. City
M:in:igcr Sears advi,;;ed thal the funds can be used fo r economic dcve!opment purposes and there is al so a
housing component, so those funds c;,.n be use d internally. We wou ld iike 10 schedu le these people to talk
to C it y Coun cil about thi s is s ut! at a rnuple of Study Sessions. He asked if Mr. Simpson wou ld lik e to :idd
anything e lse to that. DircCIClr Simpson s:iid he felt Ci ty Manager Sears had covered it preny well .
Mayor Oradsh:iw said she wa ~ going to give 1he packet oftne material to C heryl St. Cl:iir. I h:ive a
