He noted they looked 11 two companies and the y decided to go \",ith LDV. They manufacnue about 85% of the vehicles in the country that are used for Command Vehicles. He explained that about half of the money will come out of grant money that has been awarded 10 us through the COPS Program. There arc three different grants and we have the possibility of getting a founh one this year. Lieutenant Byron Wi cks is looking at that. Right now, he SJid, we hne about $153,000.00 in grant money set aside . Tbc rcsl of the money will come from our Forfeiture Fund. he said. so at th.is point there arc , cssenrially.

Mr. Olson notNi thl'.I they have seen Aurora 's veludc .,nd-:hc y att very impressed with the quality of work, which was •Jone by the same -:ompany, IDo'S Aurora is very pleased with theirs . He opined that City Council Md tlv. citizens will be very impres!:U by what they sec when this thing is d•" ·red, which takes about 120 da,•, so it should be r<ady by the parade . Council Member Garrett ukcd. U.. the last two or three years, how many incidents we have bad whcrt l vehicle likt this W041ld have been deployed. Director Olson advised they would uso it for the special cvcntl every year, bur then we have had many different crime scenes where we bavl! bad to have the Sbcritrs van come down aod be here for us . He no1cd that. espec ially in inclement weather, 1his wi ll be a significant addition lo our force 10 be able to use that. This is one of those vehicles, he said, that I probably would DOI have asked for Gencrol Fund moacy to pun:hase, but we have been able to set aside tooncy for this. That is why I am ll);"l • that Couacil 's approval of this will not take any money out of the Genenl Fund for this specific purchase . Later on. of course, we will factor maint~nance, and so on. into om rcaular fleet cost , Mayor Bums pointed out that this is a unique vehicle and a uaiquc opportunity to acquire it for Eaglewood. Director Olson s■id he wu exactly conect aad wear< able to get it through the GSA Program, which is a combined fedenllstate program. They bid on it lllld therefore the costs arc reduced by going through that proceu .

(iv) Engle wood Environmental Foundation Director Rick Kabrn presented a recommendation from the Englewood Environmental Founda1 ion (EEF} 10 support, by motion, an agrecmenl with Miller Weinganen Real ty amending Article Ill of the initial agreement. He advised tha1 the Foundation is askin1 for Council's suppon 10 amend our Deve lopment Agrtemenl, and our Ground Lease Agreement \\ith Mill er Weingarten. our retail developer on the site . Those documents were executed las! Augus t .i~, he said, and al tha1 time the emphasis was on gening rhc rctai i closed and making sure 1hat the retail developer brought some buildings ou1 of the ground . He pointed out that we wete concerned at tha t point, because, prior to that, the agreement wu based on him having leases signed before be would even close . We are at a di fferent stage in rime now and the de veloper has missed some of his earlier dares . Mr. Katun no1ed, just as a refresher. Wt, in both of1bose docwnents, the devclopct wu required to have a core and shell of 45,000 square feet by this April 4", with acotbcr 25 ,000 squon: ,.:1 due in JUDC and mother 75,000 squm feet due by Auaust 4th. We ue past the April date . We behove 11 this time that it is in our best interest to modify these agreements an~ put the emphasis on opening stores . So thal is what \\Care trying to do al this point. The daie of liqu idated damages will be based on tile day a store opens , minus a • • Ea1lewood Clly Council May 7, 2001 Paae 11 I U( ' ) '{Ni snl ~Ile.• !f. I reasonable period of lime for tcnanl finish. An example , he said, would be in lhe case ofOffice Depol When lhal siorc opc'IS they would be g111n1ed 7S days for lhe tenanl finish to lake place and 1hen 1h11 date would delermine when liquidaled damages would begin . Belween lhen and April 4•. And lhen wo would do the same thing for the June date that is coming up and also for future dates . One of the issues we have ttit is that as we have gone forward . is lhAt, as in the case of Office Depot, the tenant finish and the general construction are being done by the same contractor. There is a lot of overlap , so it is very diflicuh for us to separate those two functions . Mayor Bums commented that you have different completion times for different kinds of buildings. Mr. Kalun said ii depends on the lype ofbuildilli . As in lhe case of Office Depol we allowed 7S days . For most of the retail its 60 days and we've allowed 90 days in the case ofa restaurant, because a restaurant tenant finish t,kcs quite a bit longer . In lhe case oflhe Baily 's building, he said, we have ailowtd 120 days, because Baily's docs most of their O\\'n tenant finish . He noted that is not a new date , as we have known for :tboui a year that Bail y's would require about 12fJ da ys for opening . Mayor Bums asked ifBaily's was delayed last week. Mr. Kahrn advised lha1 Baily's has a pcrmil &Dd lhc contractor is out doing building layout today. They arc actually doing survey work today and they have a foundati on pcnnit.
