He advised lhal the communily passed a $27 mi1Uao bond rd"ercndum 10 support the refurbisrung of lhe scbools and fllrther their progression ln technology. He reported lhal $22 million of those bonds were sold ln January at a very favorable me. We immodiatdy began worlt on ~ng companies lhat could help wilh the project, he said. and 1h11 work, after extensive investigation and inltr,iew pmcesses, has resulted in the selection of Svenlnlp CRSS, a managemenl planning group 1h11 manages construction projects. They are master planners and construction managen for lbc upcoming bond worlt . Mr. Nisbet added lha1 he bas never run inlo a more organized group in bis entire life. We have an oversighl group lhal is repn:sen1ati,-e of the entire communily, which lll<dS once a month, he continued. and rcceivt s w, updale and m-ences what is happening wilh the bond worlt . We also have an oversighl committee with cili= and staff at each site, be advised. who ar:, cwrently, meeting as much as !Wice a w,,,k with archilects 10 dt:\·elop the schematic dra\\ings and move forward wilh the projects. II is most exciting. he said. and the informalioo supplied to Council is a very small piece of lhe oulcomc of a planning session 10 dclcrmine the goals and objectives for the bond worlt . Mr. Nisbet felt Council would find lhern quile comprehensive and logical . Six top goals were identified. be !lllled. The first is qualily over quantily, when possible, construction would be whar we lold the public . We are very serious about keeping lhal COVCIWII with the public, be said. and that is why we have pu1lti--laycred oversight committees represcnlcd by citizens . Other goals arc to produce cost effective 01 ,orations and minimize disruptions lo our educational programs, be said. adding that CRSS believes that it is to our advantage in this community to move forward as rapidly as ~'C can with the planning phase and the developmenl phase . We \\<re originally thinlcing ii "'Ould lake up to three yean to do lhis project, be advised. bul wear: going 10 Uy lo finish ii in a year and a half, so there will be a lot of inlensive worlt going on al each of the sebool si1es. They have begun the plann'og and the schematic process, with the hopes of n:lcasing the worlt for bid by October or November of lhis coming fall, and beginning construction shortly thereafter. Mr. Nisbel slated that Englewood ,.;u probably ft!ter their school calendar for the y<ar 2000-2001, most likely because they want a very long llindow in II>~ summer wr lhis one . We will probably go back 10 whal was a traditional calendar many ye:u,; •go. SWting scbool , in all likelihood, after Labor ;'<·, and ending laler in Jw,e than we have for many years. be said. Thal would give us a full llu-ce-month wi..:I,w for major construction lo lake place. They \\ill begin lhis spring and summer with some cmcrgcocy lypC work, !here are some leaky roofs and some ADA things lhat need to be aa:omplished in some of ow schools 10 aa:ommodale students who will be arri,ing oext year wilh some rather seven: problems. That is where we are, al lhis point, be concluded. He recognized Iba! Council is used 10 n:leasing bids and overseeing some construction things Iha! are going on in the communily, and lhis is only goin• 10 compound lhal worlt , he said. He allowed thal ii will be quile hectic. Mr. Nisbet said be has been appointed by the Board lo be the liaison wilh all the construction \\'Ork. bond work, and work with communily agencies. He said he has alrea<!y been in conlael with Director Black in terms of~= they will coordinate recreation programs. and other dcpal1lncnts in the Cily thal can be helpful and necJ lo be aware of whal is going on as we work around our various siles. He said he could. perhaps. come back on a somewhat n:gular blsis IO upda1e Council . Cily Manager Sc3n asked who lhe contractor will be . Mr. Nisbcl said the contractors have nol been hired yet He repealed Iha. the management team is Svenlnlp CRSS . He said he should ha,·e mentioned lhal lhree archilcctural fi rms \\<rC hired. DLR Group , who will be handling the middle school projects. Also, Dulaney Archilects, and. he uuc rjected. Dan Dulaney lives in EnglC\\'OOd. and has quile a background. ponicularl y. in elemmtary scbool dcvelopmenl. and he will be doing our elementary scbools . The third firm is H & L ArchilCCIW"e. be said. Each of the lhree firms selected,, design the project has a dill"crent package . CRSS lhought it would be helpful , he advised , 10 bn:ak our projects dowo inlo smaller packages, rather than $10 or SI I million packages, do,m inlo SS ••. ~ S6 million packages. They· fee,, with the arnounl of building going on in Colorado, I 'ICy will be ablo IO dmv 10 us some consuucti.on firms lhat are of a size lhal they •ill be comfonable \\ilh the projects and in IWIC with Whal is bappe:oing in the communily. That is why they believe we can compress lhis down inlo a shorter time period and use smaller packages 10 get gcod bids and good conlractors . • • IE■slewood City Cou■cU M■y 17, 1999 PqeJ J ~~~.,.,, Hl ',rt·tdl. i,~r, Mayor Bums commented 1h11 be went lo Ille 6:ir apin Ibis year 11 Cberrclyn. 1111 Sarunlay, for lnelr ICllool.

Council Member Waggoner explained that the sentence says the ~lopment review team sbaU submit a writtm adviso,y repon and r=mmendation to the Planning and Zoning Commission for m-iew and recommendations after a public hearing. Council Member Bradshaw asked if that elimination is the Parlts and Recreation recommendalion. Mr. Waggoner answered affirmatively . Mayor Bwns asked if"" have aln:ady b<en through that. Diroctor Simpson said yes, the pnx:as for this onlinanc:e was that stalf took the original ordinance to the Planning Commission and gal their inp,t. We prepaml an 9rdinance, in dnll fonn, took it to the Park.! and Recreation Commission, rcceiwd their inpu~ and then proceeded through the official process with the Planning Commission. in which they made some amendments to the draft and approved it in this form you see tonigb:. Mayor Bums said, if you have a development review team. as h< undemands i~ normally in the zoning process, the development review team normally does repon.

Then it says they shall then submit a written adviso,y repon and recornmeodation. If they don't submit !hat, he asked, what is the result of their analysis? Dirtetor Simpson said, pemaps. a wrinen repon could be prq,aml from that analysis and forward<d to both the Park.! and Recreation Commission and to the Planning Commission. • • l ,iietfoad City CCNKII Mayl7,1''9 Pap,7 Cnuncil Member Bradshaw sald ii is still going to add time, and that wu their COIICffll. Council Member Waggoner sald time in thc seMC of thc hcarifl&. Mayor Bums said he was just speaking &cncrally lhc way that these zoning things do. If you havt development review teams, a review team is wry common f'or a city, and that means your dqlar1mellt heads 110rmally. Director Simpson sald the way a private application comes in ls simply that U comes in, it is reviewed by the dcvclopmcnt review team. which is co mix-( of Public Works, Utilities, Planning, Building, all of those r:roups. Each group chccb and reviews all of thc regulolions of each individual 11m1 to make sun, thrJ things have been addi<sscd. Mayor Bums sald as long as Ibey do that. he is sati,;fied .

Mayor Bums said without another rq,on. Dim:tor Simpson sald. with thc elimination ofthc sentence. it saves time in that you don't have to go bad< through the Planning Commission for that public review. A public bearing would rcquin: notil!c:ation, legal nctia, and all that.

She said she thought Council said lhcre would always be space for the Englewood Historical Society in the Library . Council Member Grazulis said the spaa, is divided up between the Friends of the Library, who had no space. and the Englewood Historical Society . Council Member Nabholz said the minutes said it would be temporary for the Historical Society. Ms. Grazulis said, looking al the plans. ii is divided in half. Council Member Habenicht said she accompanied the CullUnll Arts Commission to a Library Board • meeting, when the Book Arts League, and other groups. lalked about looking for space in the Library. One oi the things that came up. she said. was that lherc was a n:a1 concern over the space that we had designated for the Histori cal Society to have office space in the Library itself, in the board room aroa. It bad never been communicated to the Council was that the Friends of the Library group was planning to do major programming kinds of things along with that space . There was a n:a1 SCll5C, as the Library Board was talking about i~ cspccially the most newly appointed Library Board member, that they were very concerned about giving spocc lo one group and not the other. Especially, she said, when the one group is out there building rosowccs for the Library, and can 't have any space there, and another group that is a non-profit group, not contributing to ~ would have space. Council Member Bradshaw said Council directed Mr. Long to find ,;paa: for both, and he dido 'L Mayor Bwns and Ms. Habenicht said he did. Ms. Bradshaw said no, he put them both in the same place, and that is not what we asked him to do. Council Member Nabholz agreed . Ms. Habenicht said there was anotl :r meeting the next day, when: she spoke with someone from the Historical Society, and asked if they wen:, indeed, looking at having that space all the time, or if they wen: looking al putting office space in the Depot. They said they wen: looking al pulling office space, and this was Les Jenkins tliat I talked with, he said they wen: n:ally, r~marily, concerned abr,ut their storage space. She said she asked Director Long about the storage space. anca nc !-ail!, no, as !~ Go" he was concerned. the storage space was always being provided. bot not by the Library, but in that extra storage space was where it was being contained. Council Member Bradshaw said he is playing a shell game, because this Council di,--ctcd him to find 700 square feet for the Historical Society in the Library. Council Member Habenicht explained that she was invited to attend the Historical Society meeting, by Les Jenkins. We talked about the concern that was cxprcsscd by the Library Board members, she said, and the Friends of the Library said they did not go and lobby the Council and the Historical S;,cicty did .
