it. You didn't listen to the majority . Yot. listened to the minori1y.
Mayor Bums advised Mr. Palmer that Council appreciated bu thoughts. We are trying to gel input on this,
he said . It is basically a lose lose situation for the City Council, there is no way to wUl this one, but we~
trying to listen 10 the ne ighborhood as best ~ can . Mayor Bums noted that it is a situation that simply
doesn't work becau se there isn't enough parking at thll schoo l for everybody who wants to go there. Mr.
Palmer said dull is true, but he fell thal if you would stan enforcing the parking and the restrictioru, after a
while. they would find sonteplace to park. He pointed out tb.11 Council wants 10 enforce the parking down
here because you have trouble with RTD , so you want to enforce that. Why is the parting up there any
worse than this down here? Why should this be enforced and not dun ?

They arc very amb;tiously planning ahead for funhcr corridor build outs on light rail. he said, including the
wcs1 conidor and they are coordinating with the nirtrain 10 01.A The y arc also talking about, ~~ibly.
another \'Otc next year on a tax increase for RTD . Mayor Bur.1s n01ed that he did say the reason for the
new enthusiasm is the success of the southwest corridor light rail and that is what is really driving a lot of
people and is resulting in their enthusiasm for building out the system some more . We were kind of
surprised at how agp-essivcl) they are proceeding. be said They cenainly bJJ.ve a plan mapped out and
they arc a'so very aggressively proceeding with the Ge neral Iron si1c , as well .

(i) Council Member Gam,n :
I. He noted Cou ncil received a rcpon on code cnfon.:cmcm and one of the things he noticed was the
sort of high incident of snow tickets that were given out. I th ink that probabl y. he said. as I Council, we
need to set up the :x,licies we would Ii.kc to sec and tn:1ybe we should set up a Study Session to deal with
some of these CC\rf• '"'iforccment issues . 8CC"ausc , he said , when I came on Council three and a half years
ago , there was . important push. by the citizens, for more code enforccmcn1 . Now I am staning to
hear other 1hings .i111J maybe we need to find tha1 righl balance and 1h11 is to me what the Council needs to
do , be cause code enforcement is doing exactly what we asked them to do . I don"t have trouble with what
they arc doing. he sai d. but as a Council we nccct to s1:in looking al the policies and whether we need tC'
modify that Maybe not. b,,t I think we should . :t 11 closer look .
2. He said whc:n he wer,t by Salvation Army they were gone . He asked if they have "10\'ert out.
Direc1or Simpson said we have been talking to them thnl lhey moved out 10 a loc:uion on Broadway and
the y are potentially maintaining some office space ir. !hat bu il ding . He advised thal we arc looking at
seeing other uses for that space .
Council \-tember Bradshaw asked if they moved to the Goodwdl site on Broadwa>•· Oirec10. ::impson said
yes.
Ma~or Bums asked if 1hey own that building or if it is le.1,sed . Director Simpson said 1hat hr believes they
own that building, but he is not ce rtain . There :ire issues associated with that, he said. as it is actually
considered i1 non--co nfonning use :it that location. As long as they maintain ownmhip and continue the use •
there for 180 day, they may continue.
3. Mr. Gam:n commented diat he knows S.':veral people are going to Washington :md. as he has said,
he is a supponer oi"rinen repons . But, he Sta' .t.1• the one thing he would like to see, as opposed to more
dialogue ilbout what yo u did and what brochurts yo .! picked up, is what it means to the citizens of
Englewood. because it is our tax dollars that ilTC paying for these trips. A repon that indicates wba1 you
learned that will help you govern bener. Council Member Bradshaw said yes, just one pa ge. Council
Member Garren agreed, just one page , just a shon repon abou1 1be benefits .
4. He asked about the parking situation around this center and for RID, as we have s111ned enforcing
the parking restrictions a lot more seriously. Hr. requested the Council receive. in their next µackcl , a rtf,OM
on how that enforcement process is going .
Cit}' Ylanager Senrs stated that staff will do a full su11UTU1ry and noted that we are mee1ing consta~tly wilh
RID and we are rcJll y trying to find a balance and also so me iong -l'!rm solutions. He advised that our
nego1;arions and discussions wuh RTD are leading t~ perhaps. some other parkm g alternatives th is
summer when more money gets freed up , both for the Oxford site and this site . But it is very delicouc
rrytng 10 weigh mon: enforcement. up 10 a hundred tic kets or more a day, agair.st making people have more
of a sour experience. At the same time, h-: said, we a.re facing 1200 plus RTD parkers a day md that is
beyo nd the level of 11:e contract that we have wi1h RTD .
Counci l ~lember Garren pointed out thal RTD has a.o opti on to increase their parking at Ci tyCe nter. I am
sympathe11 c 10 RTD and their use, he "'lid. but at the same time we spen l a long rime on !he project.
ctelicately working on the parking balance and we c:mnot afford 10 bun this center because RTD did nor
properly allocate the ir space . City Manager Scars said that is right.
Ma yor Bums a.d,·ised that John Claflin did mention that on the southeast corridor the y are trying to . •
remarkably. incn·ase the parking. bu1 FTA and their contracts will only pay for so much . So they really put
the burden on RTD to pay for lhe rest. But. he noted. Mr. Claflin talked about their option out here too and

we brouab1 this up and also, very openly, mentioned tlr: Oxford location. They have n10niu in reserve to
do that, he said, b1111hcy are lookini: at their Iota! expenditures for the southeast corridor, 1011. Mayor Bums
ri pined that it is ll delicacc issue and we would like to press this with them. because this is ort going to get
bcner as we get more 1enants and more buildings up . Also. he noted, more people arc awt.rc of the
Englewood station and they like to come here, so we are already overburdened .
City Manager Sc.:us 3d\'ised that we have Mike Fl:thcrty, Rick Kah,n. Bob Simpson and Chris Olson with
the code people , taking ii. look at it, bu1 we need to provide a full comprehensive repon to the Council .-nd
they will come back 10 Council with that. Council Member Garren i.h11nked him.
(ii) Council Member Bradshaw :
I. She adv,sed lhal she has had a requos1 from people who travel Dartmoulh, 1hrough Dartmoulh aod
Broadway. asking that we, again, look al a left tum on tha1 cast west traffic . Because, she explained, it is
really a bu.ard, as there is no le ft twn and people hang out tl,crc until the light turns yellow or even red and
then 1hc:,, ha\'c 10 gc1 oul of the intersection and that is lolally illegal. I think Oanmouth is a major
thoroughfare and \\C need to address that, she said. It think the problem is the holding ... how many cars
they can bold in the lane or something h!c.c that. But. she said. I think that needs to be addressed.
2. She noted that at the Englewood Littleton meeting she was concerned about the needs of the
Humane Society, as she thinh that is a tremendous need we have. Ms. Bradshaw advised that she went
down to the facility earl ier this week and just 1r,okcd around. She opined that there has to be a way for us
to m:ikc that work.a ble or something worka ble there. SM said she would like to have staff get some ideas
and come back to Council. Maybe 0,1 a shared facility. she said, as at one time Englewood. Littleton and
Cherry Hills were sharing a facility down lhere . Now they are talking much more square feet. but the •w
grc:11cr the density of population, the morr pcfJ we have that are mistreated illld 001 taken care of and they
fin d their way into the Humane Society . ff we could do so mething on 1hat. she sai d. I would really
3pprec:iate 11.
3. She noted she has been followmg the muh1-rnodal bill. House B11101-1329 . which addresses
raising rc,·eoues for multi-modal trtn.sponation proJec~. Ms . Bradshaw ad\'ised that she asked Lr 1·•J-. ·.nn
Hoffhines to C:raft a letter and she am.I Mike Flaherty, Gary Sears and Ms . Hort h.mt~ had a confcn.::.:c call
this afternoon . She said she thinks it is the consensus of Council that Mayor Bums sho uh.! go ahead and
sign th: letter with the co rrec tions requested by Doug Garrett. She ad\'ised they need to fa., the letter
because-the hearing is tomorrow. Ms . Bradshaw pointed out that this would not be appropriating funds,
this would be bringing the funds to a vote of'.1e elcctorale in 2002 .
Mayor Burns th.inked Council ~ember Bradshaw for her w.,rk on that
(iii} Council Member Grazulis :
I. She said she was aware staff has followed up on the Alive at 25 . which Ken Fellman spoke to
Council about She said she docs not know where it sits nght now. Ms. Grazulis advised that Ali\'e at 25 lS
an effon to lower the speed limit to 25 for all t.,[ our residential stteets . Direc1 or Ross ex pla ined tha t dun 1s
actually one of 1he things we will be considering in our Ci1y-v.ide Tnnsponation Planning Effon in 2001 .
Council ~tember Gmulis thanked him.
2. She noted when sh,: tra\'eled 1he Santa Fe co mdor the other day. she no1iced there are st ill an
awt'ul 101 oi dead weeds . about 1htee feet 1all. on 1h1 s side of 1he fence on 1he east side. JUSt north of

Ihm are lhree foot high weeds that ore nil dead, but Ibe y arc all just laying thert. She pointed out that dte
three foot high "·eeds will pop their seeds and there will be new weeds this spring .
~fayer Burns noted that that is one of1he issues we knew we would be confronted with once the light rail

kind ofa prttty barren strtttscapc and it cries out for some ,.otor. I don'I know whether we can do
something about putting flower beds out there this summer, he said, but I would love to have some that are
irrigated like they do in the Cherry Creek area or something . I don't know how we could do that or whit
the budget would be . but it would crtainly dress it up .
Director Ross requested. bccawe the late wintercompletton of the project did not allow us tn get all of the
shrubs in. th;:u ',\C ge 1 :ill the shrubs in this spring :rnd see wh:11 things look like.
(h·) Council Member Wolosyn :

Commerce, Al that meeting, she said, I was very, very plc:ised to find out that the Chamber really ts out

l . Sb• said she told Council she would keep lhem appnsed of what Cultural Arts has been doing.
She was at a meenng last week with Dana Crawford and seven! me~rs of oi:r exploratory conurj nee .
The meeting was supposed to be discussing the ans and GIW, but it ended up being a general discussion
about the importance of the vitality that an ans center would bring to Englewood in general. It was more
about other sites . she said. so it was a good metting for me to anend .
3. She as\:cd Director Ro ss if the meeting between Mr. Dwyer and Kent Village would be happening
some time and if Council would be informed . Mr. ~oss sa id he was glad she asked. The meeting will be

(a) City Manager Scars ad \'ised that this is their annual Ci1y Manager geHogcther . He and
Mike Flahcny will be out of town on Thursda y and Fmiay :and Dlfector Jerrell Black will be in cha rge of
the City during that time .
(b) City Manager Sem advised that we are planning to procccd with the changes tr, the
signage on Mansfield . Again. he said. I think the direction of the Council earlier at the Study Session was
10 work with the property owners there and I think Public Works Director Ken Ross will be working with
each of those indi vi dual people about their driveways . But we are, unless Council directs differently, going
to proce ed with that and sec how that happens .
Ma yor Bums opined that we ha \'e to keep m mind this gentleman ·s admonition about enforcement, because
the homeowners arc getting the unpression that we don ·t and we bate 10 have that word out because pcopl<'
will just vi olate it with impunity. He noted it is a tough balancing act
Council Member Garrett asked if there is any way 10 ba\'C a ,·chicle towed if it is blocking someone 's
dzfreway. Director Olson advised that there is, but the way we would proceed is to give a warning ftr.t
before we go ahead and tow a ,•chicle. The pt>blcm is , he said. that at all these night time events, my ~ode
enforcement people arc working during the da y. For our police officers it is a low priority, there is no
doubt about it. I mean our police officers will respond, he said. but normally we arc not going to tow first ,
unl ess a significant circumstance requires it.
Council Membe r Garren asked 11 there 1s anything yo u can do abou1 11. ,~ 11, homeowner. 1f yo u walk out
and yo u arc trapped and can ·1 get ou1 of your dm·cway . He smed he \\Oul d be angry.
Council Member Grazulis said you wo uld not onl y be :mgry. but it co uld be II situa 1ion where some bod y
had 10 go to the hospital . h could be life threatening .
Director Olson said I hate to be too quick about towing all the time . we would be overwhelmed with
complain ts.
Ma yor Bums suggested perhaps these s1gc.s that Director Ro ss is tallu n& about might be of some assistance .
We hope so, he said .
C~'.!~-::! i, rnbcr Bradsha w sa id the problem is that ~he high school is under parked and there ilfC not the
space~ ~o. the fa ciHucs they ha\'e . I think th.at needs 10 be addressed at the schoo Vcity level , she sa id.
because I lhml : :1 is cri tical.

school, that they arc putting al the bottom of lheir fl yers to please re spec t pe ople 's property and park in the

and 1hings like thJt. She co mmented 1ha1 it is no different than yo u or I going up to Westminster or

which some of the people who cootacted her brought up, and that is that the code enfon:,ment officer only
