(a) COUNCIL MEMBER BRADSHAW MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 17, JOtl . Ayes : Nays : Abstain : Absent : The: motion carried . 6. Scheduled Vlsiton Council Members Garrett, Bralshaw, Yun:bick, Bums None Council Member Wolosyn Council Members Nabholz, Grazulis (a) Litt leton School Board Member Di,na Holland discussed Developmental Pathways' "Campaign 10 Help." Sbe came seeking Council's suppon for ., propeny tax to benefit people with mental retardation. Families who are very commined to keeping their son or daughter al home are struggling a great deal, she said. They are aging and not able to care for them, since many need help with toileting, feeding or being carried and lifted . Many of these aging families now need services, and cannot get the,n because oflengthy waitina lists . Toni ght we have come to you to icll you bow the mill levy would work Enalcwood City Council October l, 2001 Page 2 and how much ii would cost John Meeker, Executive Dim:tor of Developmental Pathways , is here 10 share that information, she said. John Meeker stated lhal he would lry 10 run through the overhead presentation quickly. He advised thal Cowicil would sec a few drawings here, and they are important. They arc done by a woman named Manha Pcrskc , who is kno\1111 internationally because of her extraordinary ability to copturc the individuality and humanity of people with disabilities . Frequentl y, when we s~ people with disabilities , we sec the disabilities first , and not the person. he said, but she has done a marvelous job of capturing their humanity. Mental retardation is a lifelong condition. with an IQ below seventy , acquired during the developmental years . binh through twenty-one . The more common things you have heard of include CP, Down Syndrome, and autism. Often it is accompanied by serious physical disabilities that impair functions , like talking , eating, walking, toileting, and their care can be very intense . In 1963, he advised, Colorado authorized the allocation of stale and federal funds lhrough a mulfi•coun1y based system of local, non• profit, community-centered boards. In that law, it allows a county 10 assess a property tax not to exceeJ one mill for supponing people with mental retardation. Arapahoe and Douglu counties ar< cunently the only metro area counties wi1ho~t any mill levy dedicated 10 this rwpost. Currenlly, due to rapid populatic •. ~rowth in these counties, suppon for petSOns with ment:tl retardation hu fallen far below needs . We have · .~~rly parents increasingly unable to care for their aduh children, and dealing with alarmingly rapidly rising costs . This is panicularly evident in the are a of being able to co~e for employee:,. Mr. Meeker said his organization has more than a sixty percent turnover rate , and almost all of the people who leave say tha1 one of their three top reasons for lea ving is they simply can not earn enuugh to ~.ippon themselves or a family. The su.te has long recognized the fundiug crisis , but they hav~ i1ot been able to do anything about it. basically because of tbe TABOR lin:..1 11. We feel thi~ initiative i$ very much in tune with TABOR, he said, which will be exolained later. He said be would not go through all the figures on the table , which he was showing on th< ••:recn, bur the key Oyurc 10 look al is the middle box, pcopl< waiting for help . We have over 1,000 people in Ar1pahoe Co1·nty and nearly 400 in Dou1;las County, and tbc vul majority ofthcsc are families with children. Many have very young children, for whom help in the early developmental years is abso)u1ely pivotal, he advised. With the funds from the CJDC mill levy, we arc hoping to do several things . The first one really emphasizes the fundamental pllrposc ofthi, campaign, and that is to help families to stay together and keep theirc'.illdml in the home . Out of home placements are not only very expensive, bur they arc also not good for the kids or the adults . MoSI of the adults whom we serve wan' to work, so wc help them find jobs. We provide extensive senior daycare , with five sites that serve botu th\! regular senior population and people with developmmt:sl disabilities as well . Again, the purpose of that St.'!'Vice, to a large extent, is so that family members can continue 10 care for their elderl y and aging family members at home, be said. The infants and toddl ers waiting list is huge, and it is important that wc have the existing networic . Path\\il)'S is a Community Centered Doard through which the funds flow, but we cool13ct with more than fony otltcr agencies and more than 100 independent contrac1ors, he said, so we are by no means the providt,-d:Jat yrovidcs all the services , we are simply the vehicle . Regarding specific uses of funds , number one, of course , is for persons on the wailing lists We really need to deal with that and the waiting lists a:~ h'.1,C. !tis im;xnunt to menti:.,n that, because of TABOR limits, the stl\te simply is .101 able to fund ir We also fctl that this appr,:,ach is very cons istent with TABOR, 1-ccausc TABOR was designed to limit the ac:hority of the lcg1Slarure to •PF .'Dpriatc funds and require them to tum to the voters when there \\'IS a need, and that is cx:1ctly what we arc doi ag m this case, he said. The next lhrec areas ace , bas icall y, infrastructure issues , such as recruitment and re· . .,tion of staff. Our people need hous ing and we need to have more assisted living options . Affordable :~~•x :1g is very difficuh fo , cur people to find, he said. and people \\i th mental retardation do not drive, so ihsisted transponat ion is very essential 10 their being able 10 participate in lhc community and to 1,o l<l i obs . We need a propeny tax now because 1he needs of county residents arc going to continue to out",1ac ~ ~tare and fedenl resources, panicularly in our twt.i counties , which ba\·e seen such remarkable growth . We know from dealing with our families every day that they want to keep their aging children or siblings at home . The !· do not want to place them in group homes or institutions, he said, and there is a finan cial issue there, as well . Placements oul of the home arc far more expensive . Another thing 1hat we are proud of, he said, is U\.3.t wc are covered by a state mandated and state contn1cud audil from an independent fmn. and our administrative rale is only se ven percent, and nin~ty•threc cents of ev..:ry dollar goes directly to services . • Enalewood City Council October 1, 200 1 Page 3 We are very proud of that , he .aid , It is a pro,m s)'l1rffl, and one oftht thinas that hu cncowqccl the commissionen in supportina thas is that they Mve I vehicle tbal can effecm1tc the changi: that could come about with the mill :evy, Herc is one family 's story, be said. A sevm gene tic condition with no sympa,ms wdi1 three childreu were born. all of whom are now in dlc ir twcn1ics and thhrirs and require total care, 24n. The parcnrs were detcnnincd 10 k«r' these Jrids at home , although moJt kids like this were, at that rime , placed in institutions . In-home su:,pc:ru are provided so the parents can work 11.nd maintain 111rOng. loving family , and the cost of those servim for all three is about $63,000 .00 • ytor , If they were in one of our group homes , ~-: advised, and we do have group homes for kids 'th this serious need, the COit would be $264,000 .00 a year, If they were in one of the state regional centers, the cost would I>. t442 ,00').00 a year, so it gives you an idea for the economic basis for wanting to keep people at home . ~ ·,ut majority of our familie s may be able to receive only a few thousand dollars a year in services . This . s l.'l exception.11 case , obviousl y, with du« to<ally disabled individuals . The aMual cost to pro;,eny 0Wllr.ts is modes~ he assened, less than $25 .00 on a $250,000 .00 home, The analogy we give is, if you can go out for dinner on $20 .00, it is about skipping one dinner that you would go out for, and it is a very modest cost and a reasonable thing to ask taxpayers 10 do, given the ilJCrcdible benefit that will come from it. Accountability is critical , he said . We have ovenigbt by the county commissionen and we have a grant in Arapahoe County, We aln,ady ~ve detailed budgets and n,portina that.,.. have to do to the cuunty, Obviously, we are non-profit agmciC1, he sa id, and we have voluntffr board l!ICIMffl. Many of our board members are parent,, so they hold usu, a very high standard, in terms of making sure the money i, used effectively, We have the annual Slllte audit that was mentioned earlier, and we also have program audits by the Dcponmmt ofHuman Servi cCI and by Medic aid, for every single s,rvice that we do, he e>plained. Finally, families a:id guardians are the ones who hold us truiy accountable. This can all be done without ~ cre ation or expansion of any governmental agency, which we feel is an important feature of our approach, he said . We have, in Arapahoe and Douglas Cuunties, the network of con-.,etmt service agencies that can make this happen, Tax monies collected in Anpahoe County an, used only for Anpahoc County residents, and the same thing for Douglu County. We are very, very careful about that, in terms of our accounting for funds . This i" ho~· you can bclp . One or the reasons we came httt tonight is that you have all rcceived our opinion leulm' packet. You arc people who are likely to be oskcd about d,i,. l:e said, because of the positions you are in. Jn addition to your vote, which we hope you will g..-ant us, we want you to share the issue with your friends and neighbors , If you have groups that you dtinlt we could go before, and make this presentation, we would love to hear about them. he said. We are going to have a big event on Saturd ,y, a yard sign event , in deKocvcnd Park. We will be distn'buring over a thousand yard signs and we will have a lot of our families come, and we hope to get some media attention . It should be a lot of fhn, and we would like to invite you all to come to that, he said . You should recei\'e I post card on it, but, in case you don 't, ii will be at deKoevend Park at 10:00 a.m fhis is an excellent opportunity to get a sense of who we are and what we do, because we will have a :ot of familie s there . The election, as you know, is on November 6• and will be a ma it.:n ballot That complicates the campaig ~ ~ •• de bi t, beca ust insttad of targeting Elec ri oo Day, you have a month•long period to try and figure out bow to comri..Wlicate with people, but we have been woncing very hard on it. The success of this campaign will depend on how well we do in the grass · oots. It is a grass roots umpaign, and we have to get people out there with yard sign.J , talking to neighbors , and ITl'lking telephon e calls . We feel it is an incredibly important step for our county to take, in teems of OOth addressing the wa itin g list that we have. and addressing issues of quality of services , he said . Turnover is a hu ge is.rue, he emphasized . If you are c1 family who has a mentally retarded child in a program, and the stati is ~onstantly turning over, that is \'Cry difficul t for that individual to deal with . Continuity is important in the ir li ves, so one of the things we hope to do is simpl y get to a competitive position. We are not going to be making ~op!: rich because we arc a nor.•profil , but we would at least like 10 be .1blc to fill our positions with people who have some qunlifi cations and arc interested . He 1!.Aed if Counci l had any questions . Council Member Bradshaw asked Mr . Meeker ifhc had sa id Arapab()( and Douglas Co unt ies are the only counties th.at do not ha ve thi s. Mr. Meeker sai d yes, the onJ y co w11 ics without a mill levy. Ms . Bradshaw asked him ifhc kne w the history on that. alth ough it docs no1 mancr. since we despera te ly need it. Mr . Meeker sa id the ir phil oso phy has al ways been that go ing for the mill levy is a lut rcson and we need to be at a point where we simpl y can no! manage wi th existin g resources, and we have definitely rea ched that Englewood City Council October I, 200 I Pa e 4 point. We ac1111Uy r<ached that point a couple of years ago, but making the decision to actually try to do a CIJ11Wlll is dill"tcult. It used to be that you could ao to the cOUDl)I commislioom, which ia bow it happened in the other counties . If you could convince three commiasionen, they could give you the mill levy. But now, it requires a direct election. Mayor Bums th,nked them for comin, and wished them good luck. 7. Unsc:bedulod Visitors (a) Cindy Scon, 3063 South Fox Stm:t. expressed appr,ci,tion for beins able to addrm Council again. She said she would like to talk about dogs and cats, although she r<alized they have atr.ady heard a great deal of public input on this issue, so she would try to be brief and not r,peat henelf. She asked Council to think carefully about bow they vote on the council bills that are coming up. She urged adoption of Council Bill No. 37, amendin& the number of animals allowed in, household. One of the reasons she rerumed, she said, is that Denver and Littleton both pennit three do~• per household, and her impression is that this is bas ically the ootm. For a IIIUI many peopk . doJI are sin.,sly a part of the family, and malting a choice betwttn the dogs is truly unacceptable . She asse,.,.,: that. if sl , were in a position of moving,, Englewood, • . .d was aware of the r<gulltion, because she f<lt most people make the 1111U111>tion that it is three, then sh< would not move here. There wu • short period, she said, when she bad three dogs, because her mother was oot able to care for her dog anymore, so she had no choice but to rake in her dog . There are a lot ofreasow: JIit you can end up with extra dogs . Veterinary care is much better than it used to l>e, she said. Dogs us:.,! to have a life span of eight to ten yem, and when they got old, you put them to sleep . That is oot true anymor<, and they may be geriatric fo• three to five yean, she said. In that time, a lot of people are goin& to want to r,place the dog. Ms. Scon said she is involved in orsanized dog activities about three times a week, it is a big part of her life. When a dog gets old, and is not able to go out. it is not acceptable to dispose of the do~ but in order to continue my way oflife, I would r,place the dog, she said. She said she does qility, which tll dogs are notsuited for. Tberc are a lot of reasons, she repeated, that you might end up with extra dog 1. They may be calling up a lot c,fpeople to go overseas in the military, and people have pets and wiU be looking for people to take in their pets . It is not serving the public , she opinod, to make those kinds of activities illegal. She said she volonteers at the Dumb Friends League, bas worked on the behavior help line, and is teaching obedience out there now, so she knows there are a lot of problems . A lot of sad stories come through tiler<, as do a lot of good stories. The technology of dog training and correcting behavior problems is way beyond what it was before . The trend is that dogs arc more and more a pan of the family, so, she said, she would hate to !-"!C Council adopt an ordinance lilce this that renlly goes back to :lie 1960's and is overly restrictive. Also, she said she would like to go back to the leash luw . She said she agrees that the leash law needs to be revised. Reasonable control really does not give the City enough authority to correct the problem behaviors . The way it is worded in this bill goes ho.ck to the I 960 °s. It is standard wording, but sh< did oot feel it is adequate . She suggested that Council adopt a lea~h law that includes a provision tor voice and sight control, and specify what voice and sight control means. Sight cc-,ttol means they are always within your sight, and voice control means they come promptly when yoJ call them and do . .'t chase wildlife . They do not go up to other people without pcITTUssion, they ..:an sit down or stay at a distance , and the t ore anentive to the owner/handler 11t :all times . This is very specific and very bard to meet, she allowed. Adminedly, most dogs, and mosl people, do not have any busi.ru ·~s being off leash in most places , she said , but she felt tha1 a regulation like this would be more enforceable , make more sense to people and also g ·cs the leeway of dealing with situations where it is appropriate . She said she was here for pilrt of the pub h · hearing and listened to the woma n •111 lking about taking her dog out to the gm:nway where nobody was there, to play ball . Dogs can not play ball ou leash and not everyl-o dy has a yard where th ey c:an exerci se them, and Ms . Scan did not feel it would serve the public good to prohibit thlt kind of .:.c1ivity. Sh .. said the Dumb Fr.en& Lc:Jgue has the behavior help line , which \\'aS voted the 1>cst free service , and gives excellent service in correcting behavior problems. They also ha\'e a websi te and handou ts . Mayor Bums advised that Ms. Scan was ge tnng close 10 her time limit. • • • • Enalewood Clcy Council October l, 2001 Page 5 Ms . Scott concluded that she hoped Council would think cml\dly about these bills, and she urged than not 10 adopt something they were not willina 10 enfon:e. She boped then: would be no pet Gestapo out then: that would go around knocking on doors. Mayor Bwns said no, we are not aoing 10 be the pet police. He thanked Ms . Scott and expressed appreciation for her interest. Mayor Bums asked if anyone else would like to speak. There was no response . 8.

One is that tl,e property has to be 11t lcast fifty years old. Secondly, this propeny is an archilectural rype that iJ popula." within Englewood and a popular sryie for atudy of the ans and crafts sryle . Additionally, i1 n:0ects the broad social hisiory of Englewood. u one oflhe longtime owners of the proptny was a craftsman in lhc ans and crafts style and utilized this home u his workshop .
