(b) City ManagrI Scars said that .... did get the high elevations, the designs from Wal-Mart this afternoon and Bo~ Simpwn did not have a chance 10 Ulke a look at those in detail and they are r,tlll going to have Davi~. Tryba •.ake a look •t tho5e . But they arc here, he Siad, and ready 10 be rcvicw.:d by the City Council with our rccrmmcndations. Mr. Scars advised that the two times to do U,at would be, one, oo March II~. follo.ving thr, identity mccting ... abonl 8:30 p.m. Ulal night, or the next Monday at Study Session . He saiJ there i.s at least one is,ue on the Study Session . He said he recommended, if Council can deal with that .. he knr,M that the late nights arc tough, but he thinks in a Study Session you get a chance to take a look (di~ without the pre= or a Council meeting arerwanl. COUt cit Member F,radshaw said that she would rather sec it on Man:h I I• because she knom that on March is• coundl has two pretty imponant things. She said one is Housing Authority, she thinks it 's impo,tant and O,cy need 10 meet with them . Mayor Bums noted that he understands they have bumped that a o.,ople of times . City Mana,:: Scars said that they would put it on the Agenda for March I 1• after th,; lcntity discussion at S:JO p.m . r,t the Golf Course. (c) City Man.,ger Scars commcmcd that the negotiations and discussions l>ith the developers an, ,:or.tiouing regarding the individulll agreements and we arc still hopeful that by the end oC March 10 hav,: •he agreements signed. He saici they arc costing out each or the specific clements of the design right "°"' and they have done that from a preliminary view poin~ but they 're taking every tree, c,<ry paver, owythiog and coming up wiU1 a ccsl. Tim Leonard. Marilee Utter and Bob Simpson arc aJso rcvi•:wing th·Jt in tcnns of making sure that what they 're reviewing in terms of cost fits the scope amount TI\C)' should have that cost done in the ne~1 week and th:ll "i ll help them in tcnns of finalizing their agreement and making sure that we're to the level of cost that we have put in proforma . Council Member Habenicht wondered if, when he talked about U,c elevation with Wal -Mart , if ..nybody has talked to them about possibly stack ing themselves and U1en they would have higher visibility and they wouldn 't be taking up so much space . Mr. Scars said there is a design clcmcnl that is a higher feature like a clock tower that', basically so that 01c building is brok en up and Oiat's been part of the discussions wiU, them . He said they wanted 10 have a cnlonnadc around ihc front and have some type or attraction that way but Bob Simpson and the an:bitccts both fell U,at having a flat l;uilding "ithou1 havin g some type of higher • clement. the clock tower would not ... and so apparently the design docs have ihai ir. there. He said he • • • Eoslewood Clly Council Mardt I, 1999 Pa&<9 hasn't seen thal, it's not quite as tall as what we had talked to them •bou~ but it's going to be substantial . Again, City Manager Sears said. he hasn't seen this. he talked to Bob Simpson about 15 minutes ago, so he didn\ want to get into any real discussion about that. Ms . Habenicht said she thought if they had two floon they'd have a lot"'°"' pail<ing. (d) City Manager Sears ~,r,gratulated the Council and said that he knew that staff has been working hanl and it's rc:illy nice to sec a lot of real positive publicity about all of the activities that arc going on. We 're a very ~tivc Cit-/. (cl City Manager Sc:ln said we've also received a notice ofa National Awanl for Nancy Peterson, we gave you a copy of this In your box . He said he knew Chris Olson was planning to go out to the rcccplion from the City's side and "1lndcrcd if Mr. Olson wanted to mention anything about that awanl. Chris Olson said he hc3ltl about this award about a month ago and he didn't gc1 the information out to Council earlier because he nccdcd something in writing. it was kind of verbal infonnation to ua from the Region 8 National Highway and Transport.1tion Safety Administratior.. Hes.id they had nominated Ms . Peterson essentially for a personal awanl for public safety . He said she •von the oward, and this Is the Region 8 Awanl . He said it was also his understanding that there \\<Juld pm'Jabl y be awards similar from each of the different regions . He commented she did win the awanl and tl.it she is quite 'hrilled with i~ to say the least The people from Region 8 were quite thrilled with it. and. based on their recommendations, she won the award . Mr. Olson said he has no t seen the documentation. nor has she, on what the award is specifically, but we think it's prob3bly for Neighborhood Watch, Speed Pledge Program and similar type activities. He said it is a personal award. it is not to the City. so he 's going to go out to Seattle when she gets this, which is on M•rch 23~ at the National Convention for Traffic Safety . He said he "1luld be there for just a couple of days. to be at the luncheon to represent the City 30d as her depar!mcnt he/Id. She is quite lhrillcd with this. he said, and it 's really an honor for her and obviou :ily well deserved . He stated Council will get U,e infonnation in their packets 30d then we will go from there . Mayor Bums asked for a round of appl:iusc for Officer Peterson . (I) City Manager Sears opined 0,11 they had a my, very good meeting with tl1c stalf ofRTD last Wednesday. nnd they arc ready 10 m:1ke a r<eomr.icndation back to the RTD Boan!. He said they would like the Mayor and; •;' Council members lo be at their next RTD Board meeting, which he believes is Tuesday, March ,3~. He said it 11ill be at 5:30 p.m .. but they \\ill have a resolution that night at 7:00 p.m. on their agenda. but to address any question~. you would be at the Study Session . Mayor Bums suggested getting the agenda. because they had one proposal down and they were having the Study Session. and then witcnevcr it ended. they would have the meeting. Some of the people who go down there regularly asked that they set a time for tl1e meeting. because they had no idea when they were going to start. He .aid he thought that was an excellent suggeslion. because. he recalled. he went down when they swore in the new officers and got there just as they were '™'-caring in the new chair, and ir was just a guess as to when they were going , , stan . He said he is hoping they "ill have a set time for that and that we can find that out. City Manager Scars statod tliat the rocommendation will probabl y be 11011 tl1e full 2015 parking component would not be bui 1t. which is mainly going to be on tJ1e north side . 11\c south parking structure would be built as a result of their funding . Also , in conjunchon with the federal funding for the bridge, tmt they would contribute toward th.it to have the llridge completed loo . He said those were the things we really 1...:ntercd in on and they ac1u.1lly arc doing some work in 1enns of some piers and some walls on the site right now. They ,re just basically funding that on tl1eir 01\11 as part of the reconstruction project. He thinks their Boan! is going to have to talk to them that night about what tl,c full ,mount is going to need to be. E■pewood City Council Mart• I, lffl PaaelO '.) hoc"' 1111'!1.• ,,.,.,,,. P•~•q Mayor Bwns asked if thi s is within the scope of wort< for lhc project at the pn,acnt time. Mr. San said that is correct.

Mr. Scars said both oflbosc will be using savings in !he budge~ both of the expansion, bccauoc wc bad sc many stalls for $2 . 7 mil li on and this will get them lo !he next level , but it won 't get them to the ultimalc build ou~ which would have to be on !he oorth side of !he project, up until !he)' identif,' the need tor that He said their auomcy was at the meeting and S1alled to put together an a_.-..:iich will be the rault of that meeting, which will amend the $2 . 7 million agreement. Pan of !hat will be 10 reserve thal 11011h side, so !hat if we do something wilh senior housing or we do some other l)'pc oi thing. then their.,.. is preserved for full build out of their parking . He suggested that a few of the boanl mcmben may, that night. want to be a little bit more aggressive than even what we 've come up with. He said they still have a concern about the Swedish parking and we have a memo to them that outlines !hat Swedish has full parking for what their needs are out there. City Manager Scars advised !hat their attorney is in the procca of drafting a l'tSOlution supporting this and he feels. wilh that. it will help us finish the agrecmcnll with the dcvclopcn to move this alon~. Mayor Burns noted that this is an imponant component in finishing lhosc agreements. Ms. Habenicht asked if it would be helpfu l, when wc address reserving the parlting in the oorth ua, to indicate that wc would guarantee that we would •!!ow multi-levels of parking . City Manager Scan said absolutely . He said he thinks that ,.;11 be in lhe agreement. they want that as much as we do and multi• level is ~lly the only way that they are going to be able to accomplish that. Mr. Scars said that wc talked 10 them about going up anotl1cr level on lhe soutl1 side. but that ""'1ld influence lhc view of the Foley's building. which is really non-desirable .

Mayor Bwns said yes. lhe stalf is very aware tlia~ if you don 't have parlcing at Oxford. you have a real problem . He noted it is a real scope of work change. We arc hoping. he said. 10 work that into the agenda, he added. City Manager Scan said "~ mentioned lhat again . Director Black is religious about bringing that up. and rightfully so. Actually. they share the concern. he said. The problem , to a cenain e:<tcn~ is. when you have shared parlcing. you have lhc bcnclit of~ but you also have the downside . Pan of thc resolution will be that we. lhrough a traffic managcmcru plan. guarantee them so niany spaces on !heir site for their purposes. They have had lhc same problem ,.;lb lhe Alameda center. where tl1 cy reall y aren 't impacted, but the businesses around there arc impacted. Th.11 is because people just park on the ou1Jying lol:i.
