Mt1yor Brt1dsh11w no1ed that she and Ms . Ma so n wo rY.cd together on the Grea t Rela y Race in 1983 to help
rai se funds for a bike 1rail. Ms. Mason said h worked.
Ms. Mason prescn 1ed eac h Cou ncil membe r wit h 11 copy of the "PonerCa re Foundali~n·s Co rpora 1e
Pan ner 's Program" pac ket.
Joan Mason , Chie f Devel op ment Officer fo r he Pon crC nrc Found :11ion, advised th11 1 she is respons ibl e for
rai sing mon ey for Porter and Littl eton Hos pi a\s. I am here thi s eve nin g, she said, to ta lk to you a little bit
abou l th e c ri si s in hea lth care , which I don'r 1hink most ofus hav e nny problem understanding .
Specifi call y, Littleton Hos pital ha s been in th e romm uniti cs of Littleton and Englewood for fifl ec n ye ars,
nexl ye t1r. It was built 10 acc ommodal e ac ute ca re and has grown thro ugh J recent , and current ,
dc\'e)op men t projecl. to 172 beds . Ms . Ma so n po inted ou 1 1hat th e issue wi th mo s1 hos pitals :~ay has to do
wil h eme rgency ca re. II has 10 do wi th acce ss fo r peo pl e without insurance and it has to do wi th givi ng
ca rin g and diligent trea tm en t 10 th ose in need . My po sitio n, as Chi ef Development Officer, is to try and
conve y the m~ed 10 communitie s. I am approaching eight co mmuni ties 1hnt access and utili ze the services
oflinlcton Hos pital. speci fi call y far the issue of trauma care . What we ha ve found, in th e greater Den ve r
:u cn, is that we have th e :ic utc proble m of making sure we hn vc en ough emerge ncy depanmenl beds,
wai t ,g rooms :i nd access for ambulances so the y do nol h:i ve 10 go all away across town, pnnicularl y in
our adverse weat her, in many se :iso ns. The real acc ess issue, she said, is if1hcrc is no1 room, they di vc n
and 1l1c diversio n in !h e l:i st two years ·vas 8,000 hou rs. Now, she pointed out, !hat doesn 't so und very
cri1icnl ur;less yo u happen 10 be in the iu:i bulirn ce or yo u happen to have bee n a paren1 at Col umbine or you
are invo lved in :in accident on 1-25 or 225 and h:ive to be 1aken from so uth 1-2 5 all the way to Denver
Health on 6th Ave nu e or :is for wes t as Lutheran Medical Ce n1 er. So what the pl anning depanment of
Little ton Hospital determined was needed, was 10 increa se their trauma capacit y to Level II from Level ll1 . •
Thill incurs certai n ex penses , cc nain expansion and ccnain awareness of th e commu nity in order for that to
occu r. So, sht.! no1cd, we arc ri ght in the middle of that process right now . f or many months there was a
bi g cra ne sining on Littleton Hospi tal, which is loc at ed on South Broad w:iy and Miner.ii. When I began to
ri o th e re sea rch of th e communities it onl y see med re lev:int , tor 1e. hav in g gr0\\11 up in this co mmuni ty of
Englewood. going to Engle wood Hi gh, Flood Ju nio r Hi gh. Der vc r Universi ty and being so n of a rare
native of thi s a re a. th:it it wo ul d onl y be relevant to this Counc I if you co uld sec how it has affected
Englewood res iden ts. So I did a searc h :ind we h:ive them all divided by zip c:ode , and , :i s of the end of
Jul y, ove r 7,000 members of th e co mmun ity of Englewood h::id accessed !h e emergenc y dep 3nmcnt of
Linl eton Hospi 1nl. The growt h is absolutely phenome nal. The way l relate to the growth , she s:i id . is that I
was on the Two Forks Co mmitt ee man y year s ago, talking about !hilt dam :u d th ey were be gi nnin g to talk
:ibout a development 1hat would consis t of 90,000 hou se hold s :ind I j ust co uld no t beli eve 1ha1 co uld be the
case , but today that is Hi ghliln ds R:in ch. What we find in th e co mnmni1i cs like Englewood and Littl eton is
that we ha\'e to have health ca re close by, panicula rl y for se nio rs and emergencies . What we are find ing is
that w1 h th e growt h, th:it was unparalleled in the last dec::idc ... the growth was 500 ,000 pe op le, we look for
the next de cade 1" ~ri ng 800.000 individual s to 1he so uth corrido r ofDen\'er's grea ter metro area . So
tonight I wanted 10 co nvey to yo u that t~.c re is a tremendous nccri . A need that I h:ive, and 1hat I wan t to
co nvey to yo u. is to ha ve the City of Eng lewood think about becoming a Cha ner donor. Ms . Ma so 11
poi n1 ed ou l that Li nk ton Hospi tal has never rai sed one dime from th e pri va 1e sec tor, th ey ha ve neve r go ne
oul to the communit y. Poner, their sis ter ho spi1:il, ha s done that for ce nnin 1hings like the C:i ncer Ce nter
an d ! think most of us ha ve :in ende d or go ne through these fa ciliti es through the ye :i rs. Swe dis h. Lutheran
:ind Children 's and all th e re st of the hos;,itals ha ve been r::iising mo ney for a very long time . So I was
brouglu in as a cons uhnnt. she said. 10 sec wh 111 would happe n if we be ga n to n~k co mmuni ties and citizens
to help th e hospi tal. I h:ive worked wi th fun dra isi ng for 25 years . I wo rked on th e Greenway Trail Sys tem
and ma ny n:itional projects . This is working very well and we arc ea rl y in to th e proccs!,:. I began my wo rk
in ~l:irch of 1lus year . The goal fo r raising enough money to be co me Tra um.a II is S7 .5 mill io n and what
you see in you r packet ... if yo u wi ll open 1hem briefly ... is , ll n th e lefi side, a hi story of the hos pi1al and on
!h e righ t sid e, uckcd in 1hc back. is a draft pro spec n1 s that describes th e Trauma II , the women's ce nter , the •

th ings that l.i1tle1 on is finding is that we arc drawing the top ph ysicians, orthopedic surgeons and
neurosurgeons to the hosp ital . because th.at is all required for Trau ma '(I, What that mea ns is the diffe rence
bet wee n Ill and II and now whal Swedish ha s fo und with Leve l I. is th at yo u ha ve: doc to rs lik e that
availab le to us all da y. all night , 24 hours a day. So, when we do have an accidcnl like 1he crane ti ppi ng
over on south 1•25 or !he tragedy 31 Co lumb ine ... the children , the familie s, the drive rs ca n be helped at the
first stop , by the ambulances . I had no idcil . unti l I started to do the: research. that ambuiances were h.:i vi ng
to divert all over the metro area and it is happening all of the time. So th e hospital is we ll rounded , well
fo un ded in the communities ofLinleton and Englewood, ond my rcqu cs t ... an d I wou ld lov e lo accept any
que stio ns yo u might have ... is to ha ve you consi der involvem ent. You will sec a letter in the re that I Mole
to yo ur Milyor and expresse d the need and gave an amount of mone y. I know what co mm un ity budgc1s arc
lik e th ese da ys and we wo uld just like yo u to consider joining 1he effort . There is a very little known
surprise ill Litt leto n Hos pital !hat most peop le don 't kn ow about and 1hat is , that it is the onl y Le vel Ill
NICU . which is a neo natal wnrd fo r lecn y linl e babies. Additiona ll y, wha t I have in vited you to do is have
Dn vid Crane and I give yo u a persona l to ur of the hospi1a l before yo u finalize a decision and we have
inv ited yo u 10 :i. breakfast , in that leller, as well . I would be glad to :mswer any questions you might have ,

no 1 allow spilla ge outside of 1he canopy area for the fueling facility . The second issv..: i:.1 1N t in 1he evenl
that the fueling facility should close, that th e use be disco nt inued. We are recommend in c a one-year rime
fr ame so that Safeway may locat e or lea se to 11no1her fueling company . Also we are reco:runending II six -
month e.1ttcnsion of that lime period, but that six -month extension wou ld only be if there 1s a viable use in
ne go tiati on. This one-year time frame , she said, see ms to be a time frame tht t wouhl be reaso nable for
Safeway, as locat ing new tenants for any business is not necessarily a quick task . Thin i~ why the one-year
time frame hlls been suggested.
Mayor Bradshaw asked Co uncil Member Yurchick if that was his condition . Mr . Yurchick said yes . I am
co mfortabl e with ti uu, he sai d.
Senior Planner Langon sa id the third item wa s the signage . We had a request by one of the adjace nt
property owners fo r signage. Th111 would be ofT-s i1e signage for hi s shop and oth er shops along the north
perimeter of 1his PUD, she said, 10 allow them to use signage on the PUD site. That would also be pla ced
on Shee t 7 of the PUD ... that Sign # 4 will not exceed 100 square feet in area and that Safe,·tay will allow
up to 50 sq uare feet of signage for use by the adja cent retail shops.
Mayor Bradshaw asked if there were any ethe r concerns that Co uncil brought up , that thi s does not address.
There were none .
Ma yo r Bradshaw said r,,.,1s. Lan go n did an excellent job.

(c) Reso lu1ion s and Motions
(i) Senio r Ma nager Danne miller prr.s emed a recommendation from the Dcpanmcnt
of Community Oe\'e lopm'!n l to adopt a re sol ution authorizing :m applica 1ion for additiona l funding from
the FY200 3 Transpona tion Improvement Program to implem,.'nt the Englewood Circulato r Shutt le. I am
here tomgh1. she said. 10 reque st suppon of 1his agend a i1ern. requesting permission to app ly to DRCOG ·s
supp lemcn1a l funding cycle in their 2003 TIP Program 10 suppon the Englewood Circulotor Shun le. As
you know. she s:iid. we have t.ilked to RTD abou t pnnncring with them for the two-year cycle, as the y had
originally talked 10 us about funding this shunle . Bu t fundin g ,11 RTD. as we know , is on the downsi de and
th ey re sponded with the infommtion 1hat they weren ·1 able 10 fund the shuttle in 2003 . So we are searching
for adJitiona l fu nds. This is 10 reque st ont:-ycar of funding for the shuttle , in the form ofa S75,000 .00
mat ch to a $3 30,000.00 tota l projcc1 budget. which is ope rating costs and le:ise costs for the vchicics . In
futun: years. she acivi scd. we will sea ·ch 1hrou ghout 1he metro are it, :lt.?tewide and nationall y for altcmativ 1.:
fundin g so urce s. But . again. this is just a one-yea r reques t to this 2003 cycle. she said .
Ma yo r Br:i dshaw not ed tha t if we were to run this fo r one ye ar and th en we didn 't get the funding , we
wou ld h:ive to 1ell pe ople. of course. that we do n't hav e it. Di d I TD gi\'e us a wi ndow as to when they
might panici pate ?
Ms . Danncmiller !i:tid 1he1r re sponse is 1h01 it is ba sed on an annua l budge t cycle and we have a better
option in 1he seco nd ye ar. :ind furure yc:irs. if we can show tha1 this shuttle has been successful fo r one
ye ar. But they can ·1 co mmi l to :rnything unlil we have. numb er one . shown those numbers and. numbe r
two . that th ey have funding available . We will search diligently for other funding sources, she said . Uls1
ye ar al 1his time , we didn't know th:it thi s mon ey would be :ivailable and there couid be, potenlially, othe r
sources of funding out there .
Ma yo r Bradshaw :iskcd if Swe dish is pnnicip:iling at all.
Senior Manage r Danncmiller said, :it thi s po int . we arc hoping t1> get as much private paniciµa1ion a.s
pos~iblc . We need to know whe .ve wi ll have fundi ng :ind how much funding and then we will go to
Eng lewood City Counci l
Scplcmbcr 16. 2002
P:age 10
Swedish and ask . Last yea r when we applied for the RTD funding 1hey were committed, o.s we ll as other
private organizations .
Cou ncil Member Moore asked if we gel to yea r two and we have not sec ured additional funding , arc we
tied 10 o.ny of these numbers or can we just do thi s one yea r at a time .
Ms. Danncmiller said yes. "·c ca n do it just one yea r at a time .
Council Member Moore so.id then the le.ise costs are not binding us to more than one yea r. Ms.
Oanncmiller said no , just one year at a lime.
Council Member G:men said I will be voting against thi s, because I ha ve a lot of concerns about year two
and I don't wan t to start n project that I don't think we can fini sh. We ha ve done tha.t before and it is not
very co mfonable . And if we do have excess fonrls and we don't have outside sources, I think, if we have
mone y in th e General Fund, considering the Capital Projects needs, that I wou ld probably be more inclined
10 direct them there tha n to keep this operatin g.
Mayor Bradshaw sa id I think we h:ive to try it for a }":"1 r. I have to dis:igree with Council Member Garrett
I know thi s is :i prom.isr I made 10 constiruents in the Swedish area . she said, and I feel like I need to follow
throL Jh on that
Co uncil Member Wolosyn noted this is a pil ot project and . so met imes, pi lot projects are for just a year.
Ma yo r Brad sha w said we need to make it clear that it is a one-year pilot project Ms . Danncmiller said yes,
we can do that .
Counc il Member Nabho lz said she just wan1ed to say 1hn1 wi1h :ill o >Udgct cuts and our shortfalls in th e
budget that as long as you say ii is for one yea r and w,: make ii perfectly cle :t r where the money is coming
front. because if we arc jusl takjng it out of our General Fund , in my op inion , that does no1 look good .
Co unci l Member Garrell confinned that it is $75 ,000.00 . Ms . DannemiUer said yes, that is our match .
Senior Manager Dannemiller advised thal 1hcre is a requirement , on the pan of DRCOG 's application
proce ss. to explain how you will market the project. So in the applic:ition we will, very definitivel y, say
that this i'i a pilot project :ind we are hoping to justify numbers for future years funding .
Cou nci l Member Moore sai d if th is works and we get the grant, how long would it be running before we
ha ve to make 1he yea r two deci sion')
Oasic:ill y, ~1s . Danncmiller sa id , you can apply to RTD within their budget cycle, but you are commiucd
for a yea rs worth of funding . For example, most likel y this project will not stan until fall , with this funding
cycle, so if we went from November to November we wou ld have that period cf time '.> genera le addi ti onal
fund s for the 2004 /2005 cycle, bu! we wou ld apply 10 RTD in the 2004 cycle for a years worth of fundin g.
Co uncil Member Grazu lis said I think we need 10 go ahead wit h th is one-year pilot as indic:i1ed . becau se I
ha ve also made promi ses 10 conslituents who were very much in fa vo r of it. I feel. she s:iid, that we should
al lcas1 try and especially with DRCOG. I think we have a good chance.
Cou nci l Member GaiTCtt said. during the budget retreat I would like to point out 1hat we mi ght want to
consider tluu we add another S75,000 .00 10 the budget , which will dimini sh our reserve unl ess we make it
up in other places .
Cou ncil Member Wolosyn said is n ·1 th is alre:idy in the budget '!

Council Member Moore asked Director Ross to re\•iew th e numb ers. I got a litt le confused by that

Director Ross advised that , basica ll y, thi s application is fo r a projcc1 that costs S656,000.00 . The TIP
applica1ions are required 10 match 20% of that. so our required matc h is $1 3 1,000 .00 . ln the 2002 Budget

Co uncil Member Moore sai d, so, we are putting in ): 100,000.IJO , i to tal , to the project. Director Ross said
if yo u 11,ppro e the seco nd $50,000 .00 installmenl .
Counci l Member Moore soio you lis r. $195.000 .00 for the State trails and S 120,000.00 for South Suburban.
Are those monie s going in as well ? Tha l seem; to exceed the match required , he said .
Director Ross said ii does . Basically, this is• long shot. If they do actuall y get this TIP money, he said,
they will take that mone y thnl is already available and apply it to go beyond Lehow to Broadway or to try
to accelerate further trail construction . They are just doing some leveraging .
Council Member Wolosyn sa id it is a long shot. I tfunk these arc funds that are out there, that arc going to
go somewhere and we should, at least, try to bring them to our community. It is something we are
committed 10 in the long run 3nyway. That is my feeling , she said . She noted that all of these DRCOG
things are reali y big long shots .
Director Ross staled there arc 50 jurisdictions competing for the same mon ::• that we are , as Council
Member Wolosyn indicated.
Mayor Bradshaw sa id I would love to p11rticipate in thi s discussion, but the attorney has told me !l0t to, so I

the finances are goi ng to affect them. But are '.here :m y particular approaches or items that the Counc il
wou ld like fo r us to add to the discussion that morning·! If you don 't have anything 1onigh1. he said, but
lat er you think of something, please let me know .
