(i.:) Resolutions and Motions
(i) Engli-wood Environmental Foundation Board Member Simpson prcscnt,.d a
rec ommendnlion from 1he Englewood Environmental Foundation to adopt a resolution approving 1hc
Trammell Crow Residential CityCcnter site plan and authorizing the Englewood Environmental Foundation
(EEF) to proceed with the property sa le ,o Trammell Crow Residential. He advised lhBt this resolution is
reques tin g Council's support of 1he Trammell Crow Residential Ci1yCcn1er Engl ewood residen.Ji>! design .
As they sa w previously, in the Study Session. staff has been working very closely on this project for the
past four months. he said. Suiff believes thnt . for the most part. this project really docs meet moit.· of the
design intent of this project. We have worked very closely with Trammell Crow and with Ci1y swff to
achieve thi s. he said, and the financial impact of this project is quite significant. With the approval of this,
and our ability to close in the next ten days, the City will rccr ,ve, with transfer of property sale. S:. ;;.il llion
10 further this project along. So it docs have a subsi:antial value to the City . Mr. Simps'ln noted that , as he
said. the y h:ive been working. eve n do wn to the last few minutes, on several related issues. At the Study
Session he rassed out a couple of pieces of p:iper for Council to reference. One is a lener 10 Trammell
Crow regarding the Alex.an Residemial Development at Englewoocl.CityCenter. A second piece of paper
was a statement of ve<;ted righ1s regarding the property . Also. he advised, he has some ad ditional wording
he wo uld like 10 give 10 Council and rea-J imo the rec ord. as part of t~is reso lution. for Council's
consideration.
Direct or Simpson stated tha1 the Englewood Environmental Foundation is reques1ing Cuuncil's approval of
1he re so lution 1oni gh1. This will approve the Trammel Crow Residential CityCenter si te plan and authorize
EEF 10 proceed with the propert y sale to Trammel Crow Residential. He advised he would be reading the
modific at ions to the re so luti on into the record.
Mr. Simpson e:1.plained 1ha1. after all of the WHEREAS's, Section I should be revised 10 rrnd: The City

Scc1ion 2 will rcmnin as it is wilhin 1hc exi sting resolution. Mr . Simpso n sairi . It reads: The City Council of
t'le City of Englewood. Colorado hereby recommends the Englewood Environmental Foundation proceed
with the propcny sale 10 Trammell Crow Residential in accordance with the Sale Agreement as amended.
Scc1ion 3. The Site Pkm as approved herein shall apply to 1hc real prop,:rty as dcsnibcd m 1t,c Site Plan
and as it may be modified by any required adminis1r:11ivc 101 line adjustment pror r.d urcs . Mr . Simpson
explained tha1. specifically , what they arc talking about is the fact that as we h.~ve proceeded there have
been a few site design changes that have resulted in what may best be described as an encroachment. A
stoop or somc1hing similar being outside of the propcny lir.e will not be permitted. but we will adjust this
through lot line adjustments once we have the time in the next ten days . That will be done prior to closing.
he said.
Section 4. The Ci1y Council appro\'es the Statement of Vested Rights as presented 31 this meeting and the
SUl.tement on page CI of the Site Plan is modified 10 conform to the Statement submitted at this meeting .
Mr . Simpson referenced Council to the Statement of Vested Rights. which he passed out earlier . We do
need to note that there arc a couple of changes to this language that we did not agree 10 this afte:noon that
need to be nolcd and they will need 10 be modified for this s1a1ement. Specifically . eight lines down. we
are talking about a vesting period of three years, not four ye:trs. And commensurate with that, as you move
down. you will find about half way down a sentence that should read .,:·;,e Plan shall remain vested for an
additional three years beyond such three year period ." Moving down to the very last sentences there is
some language that was not completely agreed to this afternoon and therefore. he stated . we a.re suggesting
striking all of the langu:ige after the word propeny . He said it will read "as such plat is expected to be
revised to conform subst:in1ially to the legal description of the propcnv ·• We are striking the remaining
language. he said.
Mr. Simpson advised that the best way to describe the Statement <:Jf Vested Rights is that it is the nssurancc
to the developer that standards and regulations and what we arr. approving here will not be changed by the
City . So. he said. th is provides a very good lr·vcl ofassurani:~ to the developer in this process .
Mayor Bums stated that City Attomc.v Brotzmar. nad advised him. just before we Sttt down. U1:1it there were
some changes in the Stale law last ye:1r regardin1l vested rights . He asked Mr. Brotzman if Ulat was right.
City Attorney Brotzman confirm..~ th111 that is co-rect.
Mr . Simpson staled tha · this•is not :1n atypical request. He noted we don't have enough development in this
City, typically. to ha\'e seen much of this occurring, but with a project of this substance it is very much a
standard thi..l you would expect.
Section 5. Th": Ci1y Council find i 1h:i1 the Si1e Pl.in const :'.utcs a site spec ific de velo pment plan .:1.1 :,· J
development agreement between 1he City and the :ipplic:1n1 in accordance with Co lorado Statutes .
Section 6. City Council will hold a public hearing Ma y I. 2000 to fun~er establish the \'ested rights created
by 1hc Site Plan.
Mr . Simpsoll explained thj, the St:1itutes call c.it that 1here must be ::i public:1tion for pul:ilic he:1nng and
afler 1hat public hearing is he,.' 1hen :i subsequcnl publi shin~ of the vested rights language will occur
fo urteen days thereafter. So that :, wh:111his docs. he said. :ind then at the end cf that it will constitute a
site specific development plan as defined by S1atc Statutes .
Mr . Simpson s:iid. just so everybody is also very clear, as we approve this tonight we believe. and what we
h3\'e pomaycd to Trammel Crow. is th:11 this. in our opinion. doc:s already con:.litute a vested inte rest in 1he
propcny and we arc ready 10 proceed. Bui. he c~plaincd . .i.·c are proceeding with this to cc.-:11inue to give a
greater level of comfort to Trammell Crow 's lenders .

Council Member Bradshaw stated she was confused on number 10 ;r. ih": Trammell Crow letter. She noted
it says ''The City will not permit Eng le wood Parkway. GalapA.:i> and lnca Streets adj:iccnt to the ProJect to
be used for any regular full-size bus service." Mr. Simpson said that is correct. In response to Ms.
Bradshaw. Mr . Simpson said that Floyd will be the primary access and the only thing we 1,1,·o uld sec
occurri ng. po1cn1ially. is that th e shuttle service we :1rc looking into. would potentially go down those
interior streets .
Council Member Garrett asked how the bus traffic will come cast bound on Hampden , 285 . Mr. Simp!:on
advised th.at it will be co.st, turning on Elati going north 10 Floyd and Elati going 10 Floyd and then back iu

noted. whtll we are lrying to do is trying to figure out how 10 make it look more 11ttractivc. Mr. Simpson
stated he offered up, as we did with the Wal-Mart project. that one way we might approach this would be to
maybe be highly ~live, things that none of us arc thinking about 11nd maybe suggest looking at it u 11
public an wall ;ind figuring out somclhing very unique . He advised that one 1hing Ron Straka su1&ested a
long sinuous curve that would go the entire length. maybe h;ivc it become a piece of sculpture and light the
wall in an interesting way . That is one possible option , he said. and there are probably a million out there.
Mr . Simp•..o n said . 3S they did with the Wal-Man project . we required them to ante up S50,(X)() and we
matched that. With lhis part icular project. he stated . he suggested that initially. He noted tho.t Friday he
was abl : to get a commitment that we would go forward with that, but Trammell is wanting to make sure
that the match is there .
Counc1! Member Garren said . with rcsptct to (d) he would like to, personal!)., see at least one more .
bcc:n:se this says the developer h,1s the oplion of doing {i) or (1 i), He staled he would like to see the City
h,1 ve somewh,11 more input inlo 1ha1. as opposed to a devel oper option . Mr . Garren said he would like to
sec an 3hcmative (ii i). which is something you haven'! thought of yc1. which is so mething mutu,1Jly agreed
to between the two parties. Mr. Simpson said okay, it will be (iii) ,1nd the minimum cost will still be in the
same ballpark .
Council Member Grazulis :isked ,1bout the approximate length of that parking facilit y. Mr . Simpson said it
is about 150 feet and it is essentially II three story building. which puts it at about fort y-two feet.
Mr. Simpson opined that it is a difficult issue. but there is some real e:c.ci1ement there to potentially take a
very unique 3pproach .
Mayor Bums said he thinks it has a huge potential and we c:in do something very unique with this .
Council Member Grazulis commented that it is one more presence of the ilfts on the project .
Mr . Simpson advised that he has broken the news to Miller Weingo.rten and suggested, if this meets with
Ccunci:'s approval , \\'C might be looking at introducing 3rt with all the buildings and seeing how that
works. Mayor Bums said that is an excellent suggestion .
City Manager Scars noted he has not had a chance to totally review the le ucr in detail. He said within .:he
p:m1graph of item 2...Timcly Review and Approval . ii says "It is the City 's <!csire that construction of your
Project he well underway when the City hosts a national conference on light rail facilities in October 2000 .
Accordingly. commenlS and markups on your construction documents will be returned to you within three
weeks from the time you submit your initial set of construction documents and within two weeks after you
:;ubmit any subsequent revisions." He said he just wants 10 make sure that the City staff reviewed this and
will be able to comply with this requirement. especially since they aren't going to able to finish that section
oi the r1rojec t prior to the conference . He wondered if we are pulling ourselves in too tight of a bind. Mr.
Simpson thanked Mr . Sears for th at co nc ern . However , he so.id . he thinks this is re:lSOnable . We have
talkr.d to the Building Department 3nd LJnce Smith may want to addre s~ that . What we had tried 10 verify.
Mr. Simp so n said , is that once v.e have a complete submittal of construction documents, those will be
forwarded to an outside re view agenc y and that will take a ma:<imum of twent )'·One d,1~s. three-weeks, and
upon concl•i. ion of that rc v·r.w. it would be returned t~ the de vel oper and 1hcy would 11\3ke the changes , the
revi s1on.11;, · required. and our sec ond review lime period would only require an additional two week
period . That is h0w our consultant determined 1he 1imefr3mes.
Cit y Mana ger Sears commented that this is 3 prett y onerous rcs ponsibili1 y and we jusl need to make sure ,
fr om 1t.e staffs side . 1h31 we are able to compl y wuh tliat. Mr . Simpson asked Mr. Smith if he was
comfortable with that Chief Building Official Smith said yes . he has been assured . by the outside
consultants that ,1re going 10 do the review , that fifteen working days is adequate .

City Manager Senrs asked if 1his would also meet all those other reviews , 1he engineering reviews, those
ot her requirements . Mr. Simpson CJ.plained that what this is contemplating is that once construction
documc n1s '1rC submitted we would have those three weeks to review. During tha.t same time period, he:
said. all engineering comments would have to be accommodated. He pointed out that, primarily, one of the
difficulties of these l:1s1 several weeks is that many of those comments have already been addressed and
that is one of the things we have been working so hnrd on. so that shou ld be a lot c.tsi cr on a lot of other
areas al this ne xt juncture.
Council Member Nabholz commented that she was grateful City Manager Sears brought that up as she gets
concerned with this kind of a timcfnimc . that through the permitting process , and everything else. that we
don·1 lose sigh1 of our cons1i1uen1S oul there 1ha1 also have building needs and we arc not giving verbal
approvil ls, 1ha1 we tre actu.illy out on sites and addressing their needs . Yes, she said . this is a big project,
bu1 we also have citizens ou t there who need their site plan reviewed and approved tro. Absolutely, Mr.
Simpson sa id. and I c thanked her for that comment. He advised that one of the important thing s that was
sugge~tcd here was that we give priority re view and approval to Trammell Crow and the City felt that we
cou ld no! provide that. Obviously, he said. we arc going to give absolute priority as much as we can , but
obviously we have other coru ~i tucnts out there and we have citizens that have equally as important, to
them. projects. So what we will be doing. he said. is making sure that these meet with consultants in lhat
three week time period and we will co ntinue to give good service for site plan to our existing constituent
base .
Mayo r Bums co mment that , indeed, one of the reasons 1hcy can do this is they will have an outside
consultant reviewi ng. their plans, it will not be just lhc staff. He asked if that was correct. Mr. Simpson
sa id yes and that is nelping a lot. He noted a lo ~ of this is being farmed out and we will still be able to
ac~ommodatc more of the daily needs.
Mr. Simpson stated this project is large and difficult and 1h.:11 is one of the reasons we have chosen this
route.
Mayor Burns asked if there were any other questi ons, comments, suggestions or changes . Be ing none. he
asked if there was a recommendation to adopt the resolution 3S we have now drafted it.

Fualewood City Council

Assis1:in 1 City Manager Flahcny advised that he was present to request suppon for 11 temporary agreement
with McLcodUSA . McLeod is 4 telecommunications service provider and the y wou ld like to begin
insula 1ion of a tclccommunic:uion facility through the City of Englewood . This primarily means the laying
of cable in our public right-of-ways. There are a couple of rc:i.sons. One. the y will be eventually seeking
cus10mcrs for residential and commercia l, loca l and long distance. telephone service in this area, as well as
the fact that Englewood is in their nonh sout h access for their system through metro Denver. The request
for the temporary agreement is in lieu of the fact that we do not have a current ordinanc e that takes into
consideration multip le providers utilizing our right-of-way The Greater Metro Telecommunication
Co nsortium s working on a model right-or-way ordinance, however. that will not be prepJted for several
weeks . Mr. l-laher;y said they will probably bring that 10 Council in 1hc late spring or early summer .
McLeod has indicated 1ha1 they have u !i-trong interesting..: :ng their sys\:m laid through Englewood and
they have provided us wi1 h. basically, an agreemcn1 that matches 1hc GMTC model ordinnncc th at will be
fonhcoming. as well as :i.dhcring to suuc. federal and local laws • .!S well as our own building pennits and
01hcr right-of-way regulations . Mr . Flahcn y exp l:i.ined 1h:1t there will be no immediate financial impact
from this activity, however , 3t some point when McLeod is providing services to Englewood residents. we
will be looking Jt also providing Council with an amended occupational tax ordinance for utilities. He said
there was a rcprcsentalivc here tonight from Mcleod to answer any questions Council might have . Also ,
he ad vised , the Public Works Depanmcn1. City Attorney's Office and Utilities Dcpanmen1 have reviewed
the permit and approved it
Council Member Bradshaw asked if this involves digging up our streets . Mr. Ailheny said it may. it will in
some cases. He advised he did not th ink this was all •t nd crground . but th is will include laying cable in the
streets, in the street right-of-ways . Ms . Br.1dshaw sa 1 'i as no problem with that as long as the patching
is done correctly . Assistant City Manager Flaheny statcu Lnat he was sure the manager of Public Works
has that snmc concern and he has reviewed the agreement and concurred with the agreement 11s written.
Mayor Burns asked if McLeod is paying for all of the installation. Assista nt City Manager Flaheny said
yes. Mayor Bums asked if they arc an1icip.1ting the occupation tax la1er . City Anomey Brotznw.n advised
we will be looking at the occupatio n tax as well. that it is coming up in May or June .
Council Member Yurchick asked if 1hcy will be stringi ng this everywhe re or if they arc just going through
Englewood . Assistant Cily Manager Flaheny said he wasn 't sure abl"ut their initial plans. He said be-
thought. from theirl)rospectivc. that they would like to provide service 10 everyone in Englewood that
wants the service. The initial permit is 10 provide them with a nonh sou1h access through the Cit y. At
so me poi nt . he said. they may be providing service to individual re si dents . Currently. Mr . Flaheny said,
most of what 1hey are doing is through leased line s from U.S . West.
Counci l Member Yurchick ilSked where they wan t that nonh south access. Mr. Fla.hcrcy sai d he was not
sure or what the actu:il plan is. th.11 he hasn 't seen that at this point , but that is somet hing they can provide
to Council or perhaps the represe ntative could provi de us with 1hat inform:i.tio n if they have it tonight. He
said he was no1 sure .
Bob Ouchcn. of River Oaks Communicauons, advised th:11 1heir compa ny is a con sultant 10 McLci.>d . He
advi sed thilt he did not have a direct answer 10 Council's question tonight. 1ha1 he spo ke with the gentleman
who 1> in charge or network constructior. in the Denver metro area . Whal he anticipates is 1hat initially
McLeod will seek permi ss ion and work closely with City staff. so that McLeod can provide through
working with Ci1y staff securing permi ss ion so that they can co nstru ct one and :i half mile s or plant. As the
gentleman before him sa id . McLeod has a leasin g arrangement wuh U.S. West and that enables Mcleod to
utilize U.S. West focili1ies 10 transfer telcrhon y traffic o\·er U.S. West lines. Al some point McLeod may
co me back 10 the Cit y. 1hrough th e permitting proc ess. and ask for subsequ ent permission 10 do direct
co ns1ruc1 io t110 01 her loc :uions within the City . Bui in itially. he s.1id. the plan is 10 provide a game plan
such 1hat they co uld do :1bout one and :i half milr.s of underground construction. Council Member

Yurchick 3sked where they will be doing this . Mr . Duchcn said he did not ha ve th:ll information, 1h11 he
did not have a map wi1h him . He said he can tell him thut the design pl11.n for the entire metro AtCA is at a
point aow where it is becoming closer to finaliz.iuion. but he docs not have that information with him
toni ght .
Mayor Burns noted that, for insu1ncc . if it is down Broadway or something like 1ha1, we are gain& to be
working on Broadway heavily this summer . He asked if Council could find out as soon as possible where
thi s is .
Council Member Bradshaw asked if they sh ould wait un1il Council receives this information and t3lk about
this at the next meeting .
Counci l Member Wolo syn asked if lhis means. if other ~omp :mic s in the future will want to do this, if this
w!II be endless .
Mayor Bums advised thut this is !I big issue for municip:ilities or how many people can cul your streets 11nd
how rrany people can -.:ome in and lay lines .
Council Member Bradshaw pointed out that we chnrgc ci1izens for paving districts and that is her concern.
Ir it is o. bad pa1ch 1hcn the ci1izen doesn't get wh:n they pay for .
Mayor Bums commented th at that is up to the City to enforce and inspect.
Assistant City Manager Flaheny advised that Leigh Ann Hoffhines just informed him that the right-of.way
ordinance that is being prepared by GTMC will t.U.:c into account that issue specifically and lay out those
routes that the City will accept for thoroughfare of those cable lines through the City . Clc3tl)', he said, as
soon as we have inform:nion from Mcleod on their desires and Public Works has approved those. we can
provide that information 10 Council and we will do that.
Mayor Burns ~id he knows one issue has been that some cities have had the problem or companies coming
in and saying we llfe just going to cut your slrect and we don 't C3.fC whether you like it or not Then
ano1hcr co mpany comes and they want to do the same thing. Mayor Bums said he thi nks that the purpose
or the ordinance perhaps, is to have some kind or cont rol over this . Assis tant City Manager Flaheny said
1hat is ell.actly what that ordina nce will do .
Council Member Wolosyn said she was wondering if Council is jumping the gun by ar-umvin3 some th ing
that has not been though1 out in an ordinance.
Counci l Member Bradshaw stated she wants to know whe re it is before she can vote on it, that she wants to
know the route before she can vote on 11 .
Mr. Ouchen said he undcrs1ands , but he wanted to point ou t one thing in the proposed letter :i.gr~rr,enc with
Ci1y Council. He suued 1h:u the agreement pro·,·:des th :n Mcleod will adhere to all applicable City
pcnnittin g requirements . construction standards. and 1he manual on Unifonn Traffic Control Devices . The
purpose or 1ha1 is such. he sa,d. !hat even if Council were willing to give them approval of the letter
agreement toni ght, it is not. in a sense. a blanket :1u1horit y that obviates the need for the permitting process.
He stated that Mcleod still needs 10 come in and work with the City staff very closely in terms of where
this rou1e will be and that is subject 10 working wuh the public worl.s and engineering folk s. He said he
does understand Counc,1·s concern .
Council Member Yurchick stated that he thinks it is more than just that. He thinks they need to di~uss this
when we open the doo1 to this . He noled it is not just Mclecd. !hat there arc a lot or p<ople that want to lay
lines and get into the telecommumcauons business.

Council Member Nabholz :1dviscd thal 1his ha.s been a :;ot topic for several years at NLC, all the messes
that some of these mun ici pali1ics have &Olien nto. She st:1ted she is real leery 10 move on this tonight.
Mayor Burns said that he knows the Consonium has been working on this and he would feel more
comfortoblc if we had their ordinance. He asked City Anorney Brotzm:m if he had reviewed this. Mr.
Brotz1Tl3n said he has reviewed thi s lcucr and we have a draft of the Consortium ordinance and what we arc
'.Tying to do is coordinate that ordinance with all of our current permitting processes :md co r.oo rdinatc
m:iking sure all of the meet cuts happen 111 the sa me time . or as closely as we ..:.i.n. 10 have all those services
that need 10 lay a line ... when you lay a !lrcc1 cu1. do ii then .
Ma)or Bums asked why they need the temporary agrccmcn1. City Allornr.y Brotzman explained that they
:ire saying th11t they arc goi ng to follow all or the rules of thal proposed ordinance. He said he doesn't see
any need for changes. currently. for lhc City or Englewood, however , Ken Ross is in charge of street cuts
;md he hasn't t11lkcd to Mr. Ross 11nd he doesn't know wh111 his feelings are about coordin11ting thuse street
cuts or how th111 ordinance will coordinate with our current ordin11nces. Mr . Brotzman advised that wh11t
Mcleod is saying i~ that when you get that ordinance done we are going 10 live by that law, we arc going to
live with what you have currently :md we are going 10 live by 1hc GMTC proposal.
Couucil Member Bradshaw asked why Council has to approve a temporary .
Mr . Duchen asked if he could address the question. He explained that the reason for the request is that
McLeod is talking with a number of communities in the Denver metro area and attempting 10 lay out his
construction plans and engineering design on a metro-wide bas is. The company would like to start
construction here in the City within the next 30 to .is days on thi s one and a half mile segment he referred
10.
Council Member B;adshaw asked how long McLeod has known about this . Mr. Duchcn said he did not
know. but that his company has been invoh·cd in the process for roughly the last 30 to 45 days . He ~vised
he could not speak to the question of how long they have known about this . They arc working on
construction on downtown Denver and they have approac h.~ a number of communities in the mcuu area
and :again, he said. we arc here to work with the communities.
Council Member Bradshaw said she understands that. but she questi ons an eleventh hour appeal and she
questions not knowing where they arc going .
City Auorney Brotzman said he thought the main prob lem was that we don·1 know where the stree t cut is
going to be . If they knew where the sircet cut was going to be :ind 1hey said 1hcy arc going to li \'c within
all of you r current laws and the propo sa l of 1hc GMTC. it is real easy if yo u knew wh:it street it was going
10 run down. Mr . Brolzman opined that if they continue ii 10 the ne xt meetin g 1ha1 probably meets 1hcir

they could get permission from one of the ci tie s thrrc .
Coundl Member Bradshaw said she was rc:1 1 excited and looking forward to a good three year term . She
said she should be :1blc to tell Council exactly wh111 w:is going on .
(iv) Council Member Grazulis:
I. She advised a residen t called her bcc:msc he would like a traffic counter on his block . He lives on
the 4700 block of South Clarkson and has lived there for the last seve n ycarr. He said that now there is a
car th:it goes by there every thirty seconds and he WOl!ld like to lnow what ilc can do about this . Ms .
Grazulis said she advised him th:11 she didn"t think there was much of anyching the y could do . but she
would pass his number along to Ladd Vos1ry or so mebod y so !hey can talk direc!l y to him regarding lhis.
2. She offered kud os to Officer Mitchell reg1trding 1he DARE Program in Chcrrelyn . They already
had 1heir graduation and her daugh1cr. and all of 1hc kids , 1hought he was wonderful.
3. She said there was n de1cc1ivc she had to dwl with recentl y regarding her yo ung daugh1cr. It was
a si tuation that came up with her dnugh1cr and he was so kind and gentle. She thought ii was Detective
Harris or Harrison . Ms . Grazulis said she would get the correct name . But, she said. he came 10 their
house and was just so kind and gen1le with her regarding gelling the information out . She said she was so
impressed.
(v) Council Member Wolosyn stated that she c._._, her vote w11h rcluctmce tonight
regarding Trammell Crow. Not because she didn't think tha11hey met al : of our requirements regarding
TOD , she said. but because. at first glance , that design was just very disap~'l. nting 10 her. She said she
thought if she had been included two month s ago with drawings that indic, .... 1 this is where we were going
and she could have voiced an opinion. even if ii had come out th is way, .;ne n-, ~ht have felt much better
voting for it. Ms. Wolos yn said she wished th :11 there could be so meth ing in lh1 process that includes
Council a little mar-: intimately in decisions as, ultimately. Council is out there n front.
Director Simpson said he doesn 't know if there is an answer, that he appreciate ~ the foci that it feel s very
difficuh as Council received it at the last minute. He stated that he docs not mean to be pla.cing Council in
this po:.11ion and noted the process did move very quickly . When they staned two mon1hs .1go they didn ·t
really see design drawings. He said they really. acruaJly. started seeing design dra\\ing s occur withiri the
last six to sc,·en weeks. The difficult part is. at tha, point. the y arc chcnging ve ry rapidl y and a 101 of times
they arc cha nging hourly and that was difficult . Mr. Simpson said he was not sure this would give Council
co mfon . but we received desig n drawings on Mo nday of la st week. made changes, saw so me revised
dra.wings as late a.s Friday, which he ha.d a.lwo.ys intended to ha.,•c scn1 out to Council for the weekend. but
again. because of the continual rev isio n to some of thi s ... and it was continuing to improve ... he said he saw
the final set 1hat Council saw tonig ht at about noo n today . Direc tor Simpson staled he a.greed with Counci l
Member Wolosyn, thal he felt ii could be a much better design. He noted he is disappointed in some ways.
but in other ways it clearly mee1 s the intent and he would say we arc going to con1inue h) work on it. One
of the things Trammell Crow has agreed to. is that as we go .:ilong if they can acco mmod:ne a des ign
change. that act uall y begins to improve the design. and it doesn't impact cosls , that they are more than
willing 10 do 1h.at. So they arc goi ng to be looki ng at that and exp lori ng that. He noted ii is hard 10 go into
lhi s all this. because there have been severa l iterations . But for example. he said. one of the frustrations
was that we had origin:llly intended to have a four story design on the pi:izza . There is st ill a stro ng
interest b) both panics. 10 do 1h;ll and the reason 1ha1 didn't occu r at this time is that we arc in 1eres1ed in
cl osing "ilh 1hem and gelling money back. infused into th ... proJcc1. He advised that. from a building code
sta ndpoint . there were .. ,,me building related issues that could not be dealt with in thi s timeframc. So
e\'erybody chose 10 mu"-forward and to meet the 1imcframe for closing and if we c.i n we will come back

and address some design issues at a later 1imc. So. he s.iid, the adjustments may st ill continue to &o on ll
liulc bit, so long as they appro\'C .
Council Member Wolosyn staled she knows how hard they all work . She said. for instance , if she was
involved in the entry port and saw the process and it may not be the <iecision that she would make in the
end. but she would feel really confident and be able to stand behind it. Ms . Wolosyn noted that just ha ving
Director Simpson exp lain this is a big help to her, as she has 10 go out and u1lk to the commu nity and she
wished she hod more inside information on really visib le projects .
Mayor Bums commented that that was a very good point . He said he has beer, talking to Bob Simpson for
several weeks about this and hr k.oows that the first sub mittal was absolutely not acceptab le . He noted he
saw 1hc first drawing last week on Tuesday, because he was here when Mr. Simpson had just received
1hem. h was better than he thought it was going to be, he said. Director Simps:::n agreed that the first
submiuals were really bad. Mn)'Or Bums commented th nt you could sec it improving as you went along.
Council Member Bradshaw suggested Council receive a call or E•mail advising that the drawings will be at
Ci1y Hall between ccnain times. Council Member Wolosyn agreed that wou ld be a good idea. Then. Ms.
Bradshaw said. ii would be up 10 the individual Council member. She asked if 1ha: wou ld help. Ms.
Wolosyn 53.id yes, because r.ully. as she thought about ii, she realized tha1,a lot or her reaction was the fact
that she W2S looking straight on into an elevation and forgetting that no one evc:r does th:u. Just things like
that that you need to thi nk about for awhile if you 11.re not in the business. Counci l Member Grazulis
agreed
Director Simpson apolor,izcd to Council that the process doesn't work more clea nl y. He noted there is a
real time foc1or on this one that is co ntinuing to push it.
Council Member Bradshaw commented that, because this is our form of government. we do delegate a lot
10 staff and trust that staff can do the job and she would n't cha nge our form of government There is a trust
factor. she said.
Counci l Member Wolosyn said she does trwl staff. but sometimes she wonders how many times she has to
\'Otc and not have the who le picture .
Dircclor Simpson advjscd ·that we still have a lot of v.'O rk to do on that and hopefu lly we can continue to
improve the appearance of thllt building and he thought Trammell Crow was willing to "''Ork on this with
us . He said as chan ge.i occur he will be letting Council know .
13. City Manager's Repon
(a) City Man:igcr Scars advised that we had a \'Cry good two day stuff rctrc.11. Staff spent a
lot of time discussing whe re we arc :i.~ sLlff and where we are going. He saic! he had hoped they wou ld be
able to get through what they had la1!1 out ·md then move slowly onto some things. But in the course of one
and :1 ha lf days we came up with fon y•scvcn key objec 11\'CS fo r this next ye.1r. He said he W3S kind of
shocked by that and they narrowed tho~ down to abou1 eight. They arc things like lnnd acquisitio n. open
space, the imp lcmcnlation and the transition into the CitvCentcr project and how that works with the police
dcpanm,nt, pedestrian~ and a.II of 1ha1. They considcrc< the financia l resources or the City to be critical.
Also. housing issues. General Iro n, the proposed rccrcati\ln faci lities that we arc talking about for next ycJr.
the sewer plant expansion. tr;iffic issues . nnd Bro:idwa y 1mprovcmc nts . These things, he qi•J. were all :a
the top .
City Manager Sea.rs sai d the uaincr at the ~'""IT retreat provided a list or ways 10 think nhout a problem.
