As my daughter so well described, he uid. ffll spends a lot of ume and a lot of effort ttaming her dog as an obedience dog and II 1s also a show do», One of the things we 1ake a lot of pride tn 1s the fact that the dog is able to be trained to do some very, very specific things and 1hose specific things need to be done "'11hout the cncumbr.1nce of a leuh, 111 least while they are being ttained . It is amazing 10 me. he said. !hat some people have spoiled it for everyone by lcttlna their dogs roam or maybe walking down a streel or busy intersection with a dog off II le11Sh . I aaree that thett may be some requiremen1. for the animal 's O'Wf1 pro1ecrion. to be restrained at that point in time . There arc a !or of very irresponsible pel owners, he said. I think we have all seen that. There are 1110 10me very imsponsible paren11 and I chink we have all seen lhal. I amju.s1 con:erned 1ha1 we arc lr)'in1 V legisialC something here Iha! maybe we shouldn'I be legislaling .

Bur I 1hink the same thing could be 11id of children, he said, and I 1m not so sun, we ...,,. to aot oo chat vory fine line oflogislating behavior. Ono of Ibo lhings I was hoping we could di■c1111, or maybe su-.i lo Ibo Mayor and Counoil Ibis evening, wu 10 be vory, vory careful how we word these kinds oflhinp, bocau■e once we pass losislation ii is very, very hard 10 change it I just wanred 10 take Ibis opponw,ity to suggest that maybe we could reach some son of a compromis e proposal. t think all towns have some sort ofa leash law that says ynu can't be runnin& in traffic wilh your dog, bur I just n:ally lhink we m aoina 1 bi1 overboard when we can't have a dog in a pork 10 have children play wilh tbem ■nd that kind oftltina, Again. Mr. Gruulis said, we have an opponunity at the public heo.ring to have a demonstration ofan obedience dog and I would 1ppn:ci11e tha1 opportunil)' and look forward to pn:sonling our cue I linlo bit funher . Mayor Burns 1b■nkod Mr . Gruulis . (o) Judy W1llaco, 530 Eur Amhonl Avenue, staled she came IOnighl to speak in favor of 1 I01Sh law , 1h11 she und<n11nds lhoro will be a public hearing and she intends to be then:. I undentaod lbe concerns of Mr. Grazuli, and bi., doughier, she s■id. I have had my dog 11t1eked in I puk by dop off leash so ttuu is where my pwion comes from, she said, and l will appreciate the opportunity to come to that hearing. Mayor Bums thanked Ms . Wallace.

Mayor Bums thanked Mr. Anderson. (g) Sieve Hoeller, 4460 Soulh El ■ti Sttoe~ s111<d bis issue is traffic and he bas lltnc issues. I know we have the trash trucks restricted to two days a week. he said, but the gravel ttucks going from the recycler are consuuuly going up and down Oxford and up and down Broadway . I watched a truck tonight al approxima1ely 3:30 or 4:00 lhis afternoon, he said, and ii belongs lo lbe people thal uo n:novaling Englewood High School , and it is a long semi-tractor trailer and he did 45 miles an hour all the way up Oxford and he ran lbe lighl going o■sl II Oxford and Broadway. Ho wu going so fasl lhrough tha1 intersection that be was getting air underneath 1hc back tires of the trailer it was bouncing so much. That is primarily the issue . We seem to have a lot of1htsc gravel trucks that want to use Oxford and Broadway as their main thoroughfare all the time and they arc just cutting th.rough. Mr. Hoelter opined this is a very big hazard. f think there are more of them then there m trash trucks, he said. and they arc speeding a lot. The other issue is the radar trap that I constand y see . jus1 nonh of Danmouth on Santa Fe , on the west side of the street, on the southbound lane . We don'1 have any schools down there, we don't have any churches down there . No. he said. I didn "t get a ticker recently, but 1hey arc constantly down there. I live closer to Broadway and Tufts and they are constantly ruMing red lights there . When I Wiil5 a kid in this town and got my driver's license at 16 or 17, I could hardly even stan my hot rod in lms town without 1he man busting my chops over it. You go up here now. and on Friday :md Saturday nights people arc going 45 and 55 miles an hour, up and down Broadway. running the ligblS and it is really bad . Mr. Hoelter noted those ar: the three issues that he wanted to bring up . He thanked Council for 1he1r tune . Mayor Bums !hanked Mr. Hoelter. tie agreed that those are imponant issues. We are doing a transpormtion and tra.rtic study at the moment and we also ba\'e more officers on molorc)'clcs, he said. so I think. some of our enforcement Ms acrually gotten a linle bener. Those arc con.sian1 issues in this City, ht said. and I appreciate you bringing them to our anention once again . Mayor Bums advistd the folks interes1ed in the Je115h law that the Public Hearing set for Seplembcr did not have to be legall y set. We arc doing that to give a voice 10 the people who wanl 10 come and speak to this • issue in an official setting. he said, and we appreciate the fact that some of you hl\'e said you would like to come back and speak at lha1 Public Hearing . • Enalewood Clly CoUDdl Au1us16, 2001 P11tS 8.

(iii) Director Fonda presented a recommendation from the Utilities Depanmcnt to adopt a bill for an ordinance apr.,ro,ing Revenue Bonds for the Dartmouth Avenue Storm Sewer Project. We have discussed this in Study Session. he said . The bonds, along with Agenda Item 11 (a) (iv) which is an increase in the rates to carry the bonds, will reconstruct the storm sewer on Damnoutb, which is in fairly imrninenl danger of coll•psc . Mr . Fonda slllled that the bond would be in the amount ofSl ,675,000.00 and there would be •bout• $200 ,000 .00 reserve . We will also be doing a lol of paving and odler milling work that is included in the project. he said . Enpewood City ..:ounell Au111116,200I P11e8 t l bnu11~lJ;u J I 10,. I U!'lllr • • I Council Member Bridshaw asked ifwe would be UP8Jlding all the urilltie,, ac we don't have to !Nrtbat back up again. She asked if then, was anything elae we needed to do on that street. Dim:tor Fouda 11id not on Dartmouth . So, Ms. Bradshaw Slid, we don't need to worry about digging that up ■gain. Mr. Fonda said no. Director Fonda asked if1hcrc were :my other questions . Mayor Bums noted Council has discussed this during Study Session in some length . City Manager Sears commented that he thouaht Director Fonda had covered all of the issues, but that be tboug~! it was important to note that the construction is going to be during the evening hours or duriJ'la the night. lJirector Fonda said yes and th.it he thought they wou ld keep one lane open . Ci ty Manager Sears said that we don't anlicip;itc ii affecting an/ of the residential community in that area, because ii is along the commercial route . Council Member Bradshaw said because it is 1400 through the 2400 blocks of West Dartmouth. Council Member Bnidshaw said the other thing is thot this would result in an increase ofS9.g6 per residence per year. Director Fonda ~id yes , that is a little higher than he had ment ioned before, but when all the costs came in and the y were a linle higher, we had to account for the bond reserve . So, Ms . Bradshaw said. it will be around SID.DO per residence per year . Mayor Bums asked how that compares with other communities . Director Fonda advised that they have looked at seven,! of them. In Boulder it is approximarely S60.00 1 year, be said. and in Denver it loob like it is close to S60 .00 1 year for a residence <lith 4,000 squat< fee~ although they have quit,: 1 complicated formula . Aurora appears to be about S72 .GO I year, the City of Golden is S36.00 and Westminster is S 18 .00, so they would be close to us . He pointed out that a lot of communities don 't have them. because they are funded by the General Fund. Mayor Bums commented that it is a pretty good bargain . Council Member Bradshaw asked if Cinderella City had picked up a large chunk of our stonn sewer rrojects . Dircclor Fonda said yes, that as far as he has been able to ascenain there was a quarter of a cent sales tax budgeted for building storm sewers . There were some compromises, he said, but J think they have covered the Cicy for the two.year stomu, although we get flooding when it goes higher than that, during more intense events . But. he noted, the y spread the quaner of a cent and built a very good system. In this case , though. the corrugated metal pipe in some of the areas has deteriorated , although some of it bas held very well . The reason for the deterioration over here is probabl y that the drainage has acid in it from landfill s :md so forth ::irr' i1 eats away at the pipe . so we will be replaci ng it with reinforced concrete . Council Member Nabholz 3.Sked about the lifespan of this concrete . Director Fond;. stated tha 1 he thought the concrete should last a minimum of 50 years . He noted th is could h:ive lasted much longer too, but they hadn "t co unted on the le:ich:ite th:it was coming out of the ground aid getting into th e storm drainage.

He also Wed that Division Chief Moore fill Council in fi n the traffic ,iruation and what happened earlier this afternoon . Di vis ion C'hiefMoore explained that LoJack is a private corrr,Jany and the way they make their money is by selling the transminer units to automobile owners. Those transminer units are installed in the automobiles , he sa :d and where we become invo lved is when we have the tracking units are installed in patrol cars and that will take place this week . On Wednesday we are scheduled to have receiving units installed in two pattol cars at the Scrvicenter and we will also receive training at that time . Five of our officers and one dispatcher will rec'!i vc training. Once they receive training they becom.: trainers themselves and they will train the rest of the individuals who will have a need 10 drive: those cars . It is pretty nc ". he said, and they ,vill receiv e a demonstration. along with the training. He asked if Council had an y questions about it. Council ~ember Yurch..ick asked if that was soictly stolen vehicles or ifwe will all of a sudden get involved wi th repossessed cars , where the fiDllncc company is saying this is our car . Division Chief Moore explained that it is designed to recover stolen ,•chicles only, bur that isn't to say that someone could repon a vehicle as stolen and it nuns out to be a repossession . Th.at will happen with or witho ut 1he LoJack . Division Ct jcfMoorc 11skcd City Manager Scars if he wanted h..im to go into that other issue .

Division Chief Moore ex plained tha t at 3: 15 1his afternoon an lDdividual walked into the police/fire building ,nd said he Jeliel'cd he had a bomb in his c:,r. Basicall y, his story was that he had found the possible bo mb in his girlfriend's car and lr:ln:ifcrrcd it from her cur to his and then decided to drive it down to the po lice/fire building . ChicfMoorr no1cd that he parked his ca r in the drivewa y of Jefferson station , which wa.s probabl y not a good idea . Based on what he to ld us. and based on th e totality of the circumstances. we decided to call !he Arilpahoc County bomb squad . When they arrived the y c:umincd the parcel , if you v.i ll . that had since been removrd b:, the man . from his C"r. and put on the front lawn of Jefferson Station . The bomb sqund took a )CX,k a1 the device and decided that it was probably an explosive dev ic e. The y used all of their normal precautions and loaded it into the bomb ttuck. What some of you may have seen. he said. was our cs con of the bomb truck down to the Scrviccnter where t~cy went to 1he out~·r reaches there to find 11 relatively safe place 10 explode the item I don't know the result of that, he said. a.s I stand here at thu time .

It looks like the banks arc really eroding, she said. and I don't know what we will have to do there . The only reason I know about that, she said, is that that is where her dog Char lie likes 10 play in the river. So we go down there and I let him jump in the river.

Because 1 don 't think it is a justifiable fee to charge our bus inesses for going out of business, unless we come up with that same problem of why we put it there in th<, lirst place ... which was lite business !hat used 10 10 out of business every month and change the ir name . Council Member Brad.,haw silted that is what lhty did in !ht eighties . Couac:il Member Gnzulis said we can go back and do tbot again if1hat problem exists, but to do that 10 our • olbcr businesses right now, is not needed. Council Member Brachhaw said !hat maybe we need 10 say if they hive been in business for the put so many years. then maybe they don'I need to do that Or maybe some1bing like that. she said. Council Member Grazulis noted that some bwincsses tty it for just a couple of months and to have an additional fee on top of that is like a slap or an insull. Council Member Bradshaw said this was when we had all sons of amusing businesses on Broadway at one lime. Ms . Grazulis silted we still have a few . Ms . Bradshaw said what she mean! wu beyond Iha~ but the y arc now located elsewhere . City Manager Sc ars advised that they could bring this up 11 a Study Session in the ncx.t month or so . 2. She advised that she was contacted by Eagle ~vaste and also another business owner. I hate to ,lwa ys be the one to complain about ROHAC Motors , she said, but they block lht alley several times a day at 3900 South Broadway with their vehicles . So the trash trucks that have to go through there end up having to go down the alley to pick up the truh and 1bcn they have 10 back up 10 get out of the alley. The gu y from Eagle Waste said he has talked to them p:rsonall y, but they ki nd of sneer at him. Ms . Grazulis pointed out that 1he alle y is no1 ROHA C's all ey .

Now, she noted, they do leave 116:00 p.m, but that meons that 111 day Iona, within the shade of their homes, the residents can't park their cars. They also conduct business by the parked car, such u writing up contracts as to what will be done to the vehicle. Ms. Gnzulis said she: thinks that means they arc cmying on businesses on residential streets. I do., 't know what kind oflaw that is, she said, but I do know that the r,:sideots ore kind of concerned about that. Chy Manager Sears noted this coven a varie1y of issues such as zoning and pennit parking . Council Member Grazulis said we don 't want to go there. One resident spoke to them today and she wi11 find 0t tomorrow if they will continue to park in front of her house. City Manager Sears said rhe best way is for her to contact that business and ask them not to do that. Council Member Grazulis said sht did .isk them so we will see what the result is tomorrow . Council Member Gra21.1lis advised chat the gcnt1err.an in the 4900 block of South Lincoln said that sometimes the vehicles are left for 1wo or three days , bu1 they always move them within 72 houn. Tbcy seem to know about that restticrion, she said . Several vehicles will stay in front of their house, righl up 72 hours, and then they arc moved. 5. She advised that for several weeks there his been a couch in the alley in the 4000 block of South Broadway oo the west side. between A.coma and Broadway . 6. She said she also went to the Office Depot opening and it was r,:ally very nice and the flyover WIS great. I will have to add to my yearly list of gifts received, she said. ~cause we did receive some nice things. 7. She commented that she •:,.as .vu,:-lering about some of the City sidewalks, especially along Broadway, as there i~ ""ill an awful lot of sand from winter. I was wondcrin& about the clean-up procedure for that, she saiu as it JOoks pr,:tty traslly. City Man.ager Scars advised be would get back to her on that. 8. She said she did sv: vive her tn k up in Wyoming and she is a better person for it. CoWlcil Member Bradshaw as~,;j her to tell Colncil what she did as some of them don't know. Counc il Member Grar.llis said she walkiid for 35 mile s alon~ the Oregon Trail completely dressed in pioneer garb. You pushed your handcari with 17 pounds of supplies, you made your meals in Dutch ovens, slept out under the stars at nigbr and got 10 experience everything in Wyoming like the wind. sun and rain. We had to kill a chicken one night for 01ir stew and dress it. The purpose was to teach us to appreciate what the pioneers did for us when they came west, she said, and the fros1b :1e and I ..s of family members that they suffered is just incredible . We were taught the hislory along 1he way and it was quite a ttip . It was five days long . I survi\'ed and I feel like I would Jove 10 do it again. I also did it four years ago. This is one of the hardest dllng I have ever done, she sai1., but it is really worth it. (v) Council Member Yurchick advised that there is an alley that runs cast and west between Tcjon and Raritan. north of Caspian, and when it rains, as it is the only alley that NnS that direction. it rums into a river and washes four to five ln ches of mud down inlo Raritan . I am woridcring if !he Ciry could possibly look at paving or con~rering it, he said, not necessarily as a landowner e>i.pmse, because it is no1 an issue with thern. but it is an issue with the street at the bas~ of that alley. It literally IUms into a four-wheel drive trail after a rainstonn. he said, Ci!)' Manager Scan advised that staff will follow up on that.

She asked if Council will sec that agaio. I know we had talked about trying 10 do something for that group, she said, and the budget is coming up . Council Member Bradshaw noted lhat the people along the north side ofB i-!levicw also want something done. Director Ross advised thD.t, basically, he just wrapped up the comments that he had been given from both the PlaMing Commission and City Council. I can lei you see wh.Bt the polk , entails , he said, but it really hasn 't changed much other than 11 few additions here ::and there . Basically, Kent Village has provided a formal wrinen request for their sound wall to be included in next year's bl.dget. I went ahead and put a line item in the MYCP as a request for them for that, that Council will be getting to tool 3.t when they approve the budget. So, he noted, we will get our test case coming up , potentially, next year. Council Member Wolosyn thanked Director Ross . City Manager Sears said be would like 10 add 10 Iha~ that the request is for the City lo fund ii al 100%. He cled Director Ross if that was right. Mr .

City M a1es's Report (a) City Manager Scars noted that staff had proposed 10 have the budget sessioo on the 6* of October . However, he said, Mayor Bwns has been invited to a ULI Conference and Bob Simpson is also planning to attend that conference . The session goes until Friday night and Mayor Bums had mentioned possibly changing the session to the 29111, which creates some problems for some staff members . Both Sue Eaton and Tamara Wolfe would have a problem in tenns of changiog Iha~ but all the other staff mcmbm would be able 10 do that He asked Mayor Bums iflhe 29• was his preferred lime 10 hold the session. Ma yor Bums said yes and noted that there might be something on the 6111 itself. This is kind of .11n honor for Ile City, he sa id, because I have been invited 10 come to the ULI Conference and they arc going: to pay the tuition. the r.0 1el and S 1,000.00 of expenses . I h,1ve two letters from former Mayor of Indianapolis WiUiam Hudnut, as a Senior Resident Fellow, be said, and he came through here in the spring and we showed him through the CityCenter project and also General Iron Works . He took a lot of pictures and I think we arc going to appea..r ln one of his books . But, he noted, it is quite a generous offer they made to the City and I would like 10 accept ii . Council Member Bradshaw said she has ro problem with the 29111• Couocil Member GlllUlis asked if that is the 29• of September. Mayor Bums said yes. Council agreed to September 29•. Chy Manager Scars said okay, staff will change it to September 2~. (b) City Manager Sc:irs advised that he and Mayor Bums received a number of telephone calls from Peter Ncukirk after he made a presentation 10 the Council about the Southeast Business Partnership . I did tell him, he said, that I would ask the Council if you had a desire. a feeling or a comment about whether or not yo1.1 want to participate with the Southc:ist Busi ness Partnership :ind secondl y if you want to fund it at any level in tenllS oftha1 partnership . Council Member Bradshaw slated that she just docs not think 1h:1t, at 1his lime. we need to be n pany to the Southeast Business Partnership . I really dictn 't understand what th~ir function was , she said .

Mayor Ii ro1 explained Iha! ii is a public/priv11e panncrship, which hu evolved over lhe ycan and they have dc,1<, 101 of work promoting the hond issues in lhc southeul corridor, the TREX project One of their obje . \'CS is to provide for some kind of growth ,ontrol, growth management. traffic management or whatever, ~thout any State leai:slation . So, be said. they have a political agenda . He not.M that lbe Legislature will be holding a special session on growth conttol and the Metro Mayor 's Caw;us, whkh we have betn active in. is meeting, virtually as we speak. with the Home Builder's Association. and others, to try to fonnulatc wme legi.slalion that everybody can live with and :also to avoid an initiative that might be on the ballot 11111 would be something you wouldn't want to have . So, he opined. we arc kind ofat cross• purposes a linle bil with what SEBP is doing in lhc gJOWlb conttol area . I believe, he said. Iha! Ibey don 't believe you can conttol gJOWlh, that you just have 10 manage traffic . As Mr. Neukirk said al our breakfu~ and I am sure this is true, tha 1 ;f you are the CEO of a coq,any, and you don't want to grow, then you will not have a job very long. Thal is kind of lhc way lhe busin<ss community looks 11 it. Bu~ he said, I think Ibey wan I 10 pull !he west corridor into :he~ .mombcrsbip, because Ibey don '1 have members from Littleton and Eriglewood, so they can use our m!ml:w-rship u a means of promoting 1hat agenda. They would espec111ly like us on their Excculivc Committee because that puts us in a political position, almost, in regard 10 !heir agenda. So. he said, lhc1~ is some discomfon Iha! we arc not really on the same ttack and that we are beini asked to join so that our endorsement can be used for the best pwposc.) ofSEBP. I know these folks pretty well , he said, I have been to a lot of their meetings, first of all to monito1 what they were doing in the southeasl corridor versus the southwest corridor, because when I started this process John Caldero was still lryina 10 l:ill lhc southwest corridor project through RID, and •lso 10 make ,u,e uo one on the southeast corridor project wu trying to get ahead of the southwest corridor project. We have also talked to them several rimes about the process of getti.nf( a successful southwest corridor project, so we have made friends over there. However, he no1ed, there is some discomfon in being involved. even at the lower level, which is just a membership rather than being on a decision making board, but there ii still some question . He asked if any other members of Council would want to comment on this . Council Member Wolosyn stated that she feels uncomfonable with 1his. I think the citizens in this state want some son of growth legislation and it will happen one way or anothe1 . I don 't foci comfortable giving money to an organization that feels 1he l'ltiy they do, she said . Mayor Bums noted !hat we are also on lhe board of Dl lCOG, and DRCOG and lhe Metto Mayor's Caucus have been working logelhcr for lhc Mile High Compact We have supponed lhc DRC()(j 2020 Plan and they ha\·e also been working at the L<gislature to try 10 wist in fonnulating some legislation. So, he pointed out, we arc very involved in 8 .oing wha t SEBP doesn't want to plan to do . But , he said. I think we can be supponivc of them, as one l>-,jng we pledged to do, when the southwest corridor was built, WB'-to suppo,-: other corridors and their efforts to gel their transpon.ation needs met. Mayor Burns opined that we have fulfilled that promise to them in considerable measure. so it is not that we owe something to SEBP, but I think we can be on friendly tcnns with them and encow.gc them to do what they want to do, but it seems that the consensus of Council is that ha\·ing a ~mbc rsh1p in the organization, at this point , is not something we feel entirely comfon.ablc with . Ma yor Bums asked if an yone else would like to comment. There were none. Mayor Bums said if 1h ,1 is true, that we do feel uncomfonablc with this, then the appropriate lener should be wrinen to them. thanking them for approaching Counci l. but lcn '.ng them know that we have chosen not to jom at this lime .
