Mr. Waggoner said it seems like even Council was privy 10 Che actuarial study Chai v,115 done a year and a half ago.

We will let Council kMw about that in 1erms or changing lhe Study Session for Iha! evening just as soon as we get some form of confirmation from lhcm .

We are n:aJ excited about tbal pan, be added. Mr. Simpson said what i, <''=s Ill to SWI n:aJizins is lhat we ba\'C I Ulllc 1111011111 of time now to start addressing lhe issue of i•· . I\C and name. It is a n:aJ impor1allt pan thal, 11 lcut fo, aomc of 111, bu been able to be delayed and allowed us IO wOllt on ,ome other issues. It is clearly a ve,y imporlanl issue, he said. Whal aunts ro mind is lhal we are lookins to try to clo,e thi5 pojccl Crom a contractual standpoint wilh Millcr/Wcinpru:n. for lhe City and all tbe rest of the playcR, near the end of March or, 11 the \'Cl)' latest, early April . Wl"11 it brinp about is the fact Iha! we rally have to set 1i0111C things in place, nnd lhat is lhc name. What we ba,-c tonight to discuss with Council , and Tcny Barnhart is going lo go D\'Cr it in groat detail o, ho,.-cver inuch detail yoo wanL IS a proposal . We think it is approrriatc lhat Council name the project. and so, as a result of Iha! kind of stan. ,.,. asked him to pul together a proposal for Council 10 discuss tonight Our thought was lhat ·: ls appropriate for Council 10 name this, wc originally bad lalkod about potentially having some participation from the dC\'Clopers . This bas been one of lhosc bard issues Iha!,.,. have struggbl with, and it is not an easy one, because it is one of those intangibles . How do you gel to the name, he asked Then: arc a variety of "~YS. and it is a tough one, but it is an imponant one, and not one to be bikcn lighdy. So, ,.,. n:ally thoughL do wc have Ibo developers helping lo do it? We need 10 consult wilh th= like we do on everything else, bul r-cally it is a • Council issue, and lhat is why Olis proposal is coming hen: 10!1ighl he said . The timing is rc,lly imponant, • and it is drawing near, so wc nccd to address this. As a final preface, wc !hink it is important lhal Cowx:il take a ve,y active role in this process, he said. If this proposal isn 't righl orwc don'• wanl to go this way, or you just want lo come up with a name , we just need to undCl1W1d lhltl. We need to be able IO move on this because wc have had a lot ofpooplc asking what wc an: going to call this, is it Cinderella City, is ii Englewood Town Center, what is it? Whal,.,. an: proposing is lhal February 22"', which is kind or.n open Study Session nigh~ be ,ct aside for about a lwn hour discussioit Mr. Simpson sai~ lhal Tcny Barnhart, the owner and principal of Barnhart Ad\-crtising, is ve,y effective and wonderful 10 worlt with and UDdcrstands municipalities, and ,.,. have bcr.n n:ally trying to help hitn through th is issue. Marilee Uu,r is bcr'C also, he said , so we can n:ally worlt through lhcsc issues and sec if we can ansv.-cr your questions. Mr. Bamhar'i said he would like to lake the,., through this, it is only a Lillle over a page long. We tried to malcc it as brief and to U,c point as we could , h.: said . What we an: proposing hen: is lhal wc move '•rwand with lhc initial marit,ting componcuts of lhe project, ,.;th the date, as Mr. Simpson mentioned earli er, late Mardi or early April . Our fer.l ing is Iha! wc now hav-c a deadline lhat we have 10 rut When Iha! closes, wc i..,-c run out of !'me, so, hopefully, bel\\'CCn now aud then. we have some time lo 1:ct together and develop an image that evc,ybody agn:cs with on Council . lhat is something you an: proud ,,f. A name that goes wilh lhat image, and then the logo. and graphics Iha! have 10 be designed lo n:prcscn1 Iha! image . Finally, he said. wc recommend a graphic standards manual wbcr'C, if you have a printer or any vendor take that logo, lhal Ibey ~-how lo u.<e ii propcily, what color, what size, etc . The first step in the process, he adviscJ, as t,.r. Simpson mentioned ifwc can do this a1 the S1udy Scssiou ofFcbrua.,y 22"', when: wc will come up with lhrcc sccnarios from an image standpoint lhal an: •,cry diJTcn,nt Tho,e scenarios will have names attached with thcnt They will not ncccssarily be narucs we an: r=mmending, but names lhal fit the imagcl)f cach one ofd1csc diffen:n1 approaches. Ou1of lh.0L what wc hope to get from Council, is so me agn:cmcnt on which of th e lhrcc you think is the most appropriate fortJv, project . II is possible Uiat we might take clements of one, and move it over 10 clements of the other. Mr. Barnhart said he dunks thi s is a way to cut ro the quick, and get something on the table, when: u can say lhat is 1101 us, or lhal 's us exactly, and wc can mi x and match , or what ever. We would come ou of lha1 two-hour sessio n, hopefully, wiU1 a clear image of what du s dc\'elopmcnl needs to be and its position in the marltc1pL1c, From Iha~ he • • • lqlrwood City Couacll Pebroary I, 1999 Pace 19 cortinued, we will go bodt 10 the dmring boanls and come up with names dill will ftl lhal imap. If we happen 10 hit k the night lhat we.,. that, Iha! would be grat. but 1 don't 11,1m we will, be 111d. 11ao names will be vo,y much like the gem,: or names 1m1 wc will come up with ror each one at lbelC COIICqlll, but we don 't expect you lo say we love Ibis name, leis go with il We know the pvcn is lhatEnal- probably has lo be in the name somewhere, Englewood blank. blank. or Englewood blank, buL beyond lhat, it is orcn for discussion. We would Ilk• wort with you, no more brainstonning. wc arc beyond the concept stuff, in the sense 1h11 we an: ,_ down lo some rally finite clements lhat IO ~ lbelC thrcc dlll"cn:nl images. That ii lhc way we see il Between,_ and Febnwy 22", we'll ga ready, he aid, and lhis will be a very substantive prcscnlalion. There will be a lot of wort Iha! will go inlo it. and I feel very conlldcm. b2JCd on lhc • Illar we h.we gotten from you so far, lhal we will come out of lhal with some agreement or, lhc dir<Clion. And lhen ii is a msltcr of us going back and then coming baclc 10 you with names and lkn, out oflha~ we'll do logo designs and give you several choices. So lhis really gets us, from a ma,t,-;ng pcnpcctive, fro.n where we an: now, which is a lot or concq,tual discussion and input. to aCIUal !J having a name and a logo and somelhing d•t when we hit lhe latter pan of March, early Apri~ when lhe tlosi.,gs take place, lhat wc arc ready . We can give ii lo lhe media. we cm answer questions, and thcrr IS no confusion at all . It will be done with clarity and with 100% agrccmcnL Mr. Barnhart aUO\\cd that he was not saying that everyone was going to agree with cvcrylhing or each or tliesc three concepts. but lhat ~ consensus would be anivcd •l and that "~ would be proud and happy with the tone and Sl)'lc lhat is put inlo Ibis project . From then on, that is kind or the mold that everything falls into place with for years lo come . We have had discussions with the developers, with Marilee Ullc~s and Bob Simpson's help, be said, and they arc w .. uug and anxious to fold their dcvclopmcnls int•, lhal name and image style. They arc anxious, as well, lo sec the City go ahead and do lhi, naming and imaging, he concluded . Director Simpson invited Co mci ' to ask questions. Council Member Habenicht n:callcd Iha~ when this was discussed previously, Council Member Bradshaw had asked if the developers were going to help pay for Ibis . Director Simpson responded th.it ii was dis.usscd, and Skip Miller indicated that he would be willing lo pay for i~ just as soo n as his contract is signed. We came up with this as a means lo get this moving, he advised, and ii n:ally i, appropriate for Council to name Ibis, since it is your project. and "~ have been the ones that have !.ecn going forward and doing it, and we.,. Slill doing il Mr. Simpson said be thinks it is very appropnP.tc . We will certainly take their issue. and t! ..ir ideas, in,o account to some cxtcn~ bu~ he opined, ifwc wait on Miller/Wcingancn and Fon:sl City,"~ could ho looking at swnmcr. C:mn.:il Member Waggoner said we didn't plan on '-"'3iting for them.just gelling lhcm to pay for i:. Mr. Simpson said we could address lhal in their contracts. Marilee Utter said she secs Ibis as the bare minimum lhat "~ need lo rlo. We have 10 make a decision on the name, we have 10 pick a logo, and lalk about how this devrlopmcnt is going lo be positioned in Ille City and what ii means. We need to coordinate lhat with the developers so that they use it when they go 0111 and spend their hundreds of thousands or dollars a year marketing their respective parts. and so we will do that. But, she said, ii seems that this is a good compromise . It is the goidcn rule, we arc paying, wc get to be in control, we will h,,nd it to them , and lhen they will take it from lhc,-c. by and large . COUNCIL M£1 :BER HABENICHT MOVED , AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO SUPPORT THIS PROPOSAL. Council Mcmb.:r ~radshaw said someone asked her what C\~r happened to all the nan1cs that the citizens sub milled. She sa id she dian 't know if anyone else had questions about that. but we s.1id please sub mil name.\, and no~ ~c arc still sittiug l1crc with no name .

Mr. Simplon said ii was kind of mixed. It -that they 1""'e a policy that they like to go by in naming of stalions. He said he was talking with Susan Alla today about this issue, and it is oac of~ thinp that ~y has been asking about this namc.

She said she thinks that within the CitY and County of Denver it was all Denver, but as light rail is moving out into the inner ring and the suburbs, there is tlv,t identity oocd that is out thert . She said perhaps if we could talk to our n:prescntativcs, she felt they could undclS!llld and recognize that we a,e not just talking about a dcvelopmcn~ :.it 1>c oocd tD maybe offer some of this to our municipalities. Maybe it could even be brought up ;;t the MayoB' Caucus, she suggested, to get some support on that then:. She said she agn,es that they shouldn't have to be at the beck and ""11 of every developer that happens to have pn,pc:rty on one of their stations. but for the.community itsr.lfto have input in something like this is the citizcn•s rig:1t Council Member Garrett ~lid you ha,~ the fundamenta '. issue. when they go southeast. an: lhoy going to have Hampden Station Southeast Linc?

The Wal-Man design is proceeding, shcaid, and "" .,. talking to them intensely ,and regularly. This is the first building that you arc going to occ. It is a contJOVersial building to begin with, she allowed. It is a challenge from a design standpoint bccaulc it is ""' IWJ blncks long , so cr<ating a visual design that blends in with the rest of the town center is designed on four sides, is complimentary, the new neighborhoods that wc are creating, "'1d the neighborhoods Iba! arc there, is challenging. We arc worlting with them very closely, and thC'J a< going to get back to us. We are proposing and counter proposing designs. Ms. Utter said she w.ints Council to know there is a lot of attcnbon being paid to thal The bridge design is also a very sensitive issue . The bridge is important as a galcw.ly into our project, she stated. On the oth,:rhand, it can 't be the Taj Mahal, as the budget is tied closely to the funding"' ~ct from RID . AJ Mr. Scars mentioned, ""arc right in the throws cf going to them and wc are encouraged, Ill<! the stair is just being spco:tacular to worlt with. so "' arc optimistic. On the other hand, she said, that design is fragile, so that is also, right now, being dc;igned and being looked at and scrutinized very carefully. Ms. Uttt:r said she thinks "' arc actually going to try to cut the budget on that a biL from the number Ccw,cil saw b.,fcrc, which was $2 .9 r jllicn. and that is based on some of the indications we are getting from the RTD stair about the funding, and also from talking with David Tryba about how much you have to spend. What is an appropriate level here, and still get the same effect. He has been very encouraging that 11< can cut tlic budget and still get an adequate bridge . In terms of dc.<lgn issues, she said, that bridge, right now, i, probably tile most interesting one . The panting structure is being designed , which is getting us boner number.:, an1 counting the SjXICCS beucr than we have ever been able to before. Ms Uucr said she think, those arc prooably the most important design issues . Regarding the RTD funding, she n,laied that they are pleased 'l\e might ha,·c a chance to go to the Study Session in February with the RTD Board . That presentation will not be a detailed financial presentation, most likely, it will be much :non, ofan introduction . 1'1,;:y don 't e,·cn know about this project, she said, so"' will try lo do slides and models and explain what t111nsit oriented development means , and get them enthusiastic and proud and feel a sense of owncrwp in tl10 project. Probably in March, the staff will go back to them with a specific funding n,q""51, and hopcfuliy -.e will have that feedback in Marth, which is very important to us . We need 10 lie down this budget, she emphasized. All those design is.. :s should be resolved ifwc have the RTD funding at that point The other good ne-.s, from a financial standpoinl is tltis TEA-21 GranL We were selected to submit a proposa l and that is very, very, very encouraging . Susan Altr,; indicated that we shoul~ hear about that in Man:h . as -.,11 . So, all that leads us up to being able 10 close the r<lntracts, because we really have Ute master plan."' really have the budget, we have all the funding sources in place, and everybody can sign al the end cf March . Probabl y the ,nost dynamic thing that is going on right now, she said, is getting all these crazy documents in place . II is so complicated, because every de,<lopcr has many documents that they have to sign, and then e,<ry document is also att>chcd to other people 's contracts . Wal-Mart wants to sec the Millcr/Weingar1en "-mcnl e,·erybody w.ints 10 !le sure there is going to be Forest City in the middle, and so"' arc now at the stage-.ilcn, all of these developers arc gCl1 ·ng together.
