Mr. Warner advised that beginning this~ as put of lhc public involvement process for lhc ~
corridor, we are in lhc environmenlal impact statement process and lhc pn:paration of that document We
have some mcmbcn, he advi,ed, of the southeast corridor project team that will be seeking !IOIIIC inpm 011
proposed locations for lhc LRT maintenance facility. Thosc project members will be providin& a lilllc
plT~on and will be tbcR to answer questions on lhc site selection process and miuircmcats for an
LRT flcility for our soulhcast corridor project. As Y'"' know, he said, the existing LRT fa lity that Rm
bas, will need to be, not replaced, bul added on lo, IS far as the capacity, due 10 the additional ligblrail
,'Chicles and mileage for the southwest and southeast corridors. Those project team memben will alao be
able 10 provide some informalioo oo the decision process, which will obviously involve the Rm 1111ft'. Mr.
Warner said hejUSI WllllCd to mention, that IS the project director he will be working with Rm quite
closely, this is a multi-modal project and will continue to be a multi-modal project until it is built, in bis
opinion, and he will be worting with Rm very closely in the development or that The LRT facility ii,
obviCN1Sly, to serve the LRT portion of the project. He stated be is not here to tell Council be isaa expert
un ligbl rail operalions, that he is just here to tell Council he is here to facilitate the process and do
whatever he can to liSteD to their cona:ms and by to addRss their cona:ms as best he can. What we have
~ he said, on the LRT is to maybe put together a worting committee of Council and slB1r people
liom Englewood and the City and County of Denver to by to work a little mon: closely with some ofth,
affected communities on hying to nail down a pn,poscd location for this LRT facility for the southeast
corridor. He aid be would hope that is something Council would be willing lo participate in and II least
allow staff to pudcipllc ill. So that is solllClbiDg Couocil might want to consider and lhal is somabing that
we an: here to offer, he said He olfered to MSWOr any questions Council might have. He said he wanted
to inlroducc Ahmad Fazel liom the Regional Tnulll)Ol1Blion District who also bas some commcnu. Mr.
Wamcr advised 1h11 he bas some other member., liom the project team available if Council bas some ""'"'
specific questions on the project ov=ll or the LllT facility selection .
Ahmad Fl1.CI, the Diroctor of Planning and O...lopment for RTD, said be was also pn:scnt to apolotpzc to
the Council and lhc Mayor for the misunderstanding we had a few weeks ago about the selection of the site.
He said be WllllCd to assure Council that Rm will also do their best, as they go through the proccs1 that
bas been established and bear Crom the communities involved befon: that site is finalized. Then: is a
m<ding here in lhc Community Room, Wednesday night, June 23~ and Rm stall' will provide answers to

fr· ""' opcrllion facility that they have in mind right now. He bas told Dana Crawford that he will do his
oest, if she comes forward with some development plan at that location, to make sure thal Rm's plans for
that site docs not interf'm with btr plans for futun: dcvdopmcnl at that site. So, be said, Mr. Man:dla just
wanted him to pass that along to Council tonight that that is going to baJ,pen. We an: here 10 answor any
questions, but bcfon: that, he said, be wanted 10 give them a brief update on the southwest corridor. They

Mr. Fazd 51a1e<1 RTD feels the same way and they appreciate aU of the City's supporL He noted the

City Manager Sean SlalOd thal from the stall's viewpoint he really does appreciate the work ofR1D's stall'

upgnde the tap, or whatever, and use it lo run water lo the building. We cwrcntly have a scpmle, largc
tap that wc put in for the iniption there and we roally don\ have a need for that, so we certainly support

(a) Gary Kozacd<. 1260 West Oxford Avenue, passed out hls letter and some pic:llll'el to
Council. He stated it WIS brought to biJ ancntion when be attcmplcd to go have a haircut, somo ...i
parking problems and be thought a lot of it has to do with after having a severe accident he is a lot more
cognizant of some problems going on. He said he iJ here regarding parking enfon:ement around Swedish
Hospital. Whlle be WIS geaillg a haircut acroa from S....Usb Holpital be bad to go a bloclt and a bait
away to puk. There ~ scvenl cars puked there and the penon cutting hls hair said the one car bad
been there for four hours In the 1, minute parl<ing zone . She bad called the police depar1mcnt at that point
in time, or sometime earlier In the morning and bad bad DO ,upome. But the penon next door, 11111 has the
store right next to her selling clolhing or whatever, went in and called and the police officer did show up
then. Wbeo the police officer 'MIS ~ he said, be wont out to talk to her reganling the problem. She
statod that the porting enforeement position bad been ellminalcd as it was no longer CCODOllliclJJy feuible.
Mr. Kozacck stated that the comment was alao made that the S....Ush employees we,e g,:tling their puking
tickets cancelled or dismissed. He advised thal some of the problems are the two hour parking on both the
east and west sides of Pennsylvania, you have two aimtment buildings In the block bctwccn old Hampden
and U.S . 2a,, both with limited parking spoces . The church porting lot is on the east side and it has
unavailable parking, it is all restricud for DO public and 0W11CRJU1 curb culS throughout the area. speaking
of that two block area when: we bad VICll.cd Pennsylvania to go ahead and allow SwediJh toexpond. All
of these items are difficult to discuss for the business OWDCtS, bccauac they are restricting their ability to get
customers to them . He said this includes the SMdisb parking for their little shop they have ac:n,a the
-oa Pennsylvania. Mr. Kozacct said biJ question to Council iJ is Swedish in compllancc with regard
to the DIDllber of parking spoces required by our own City ordinances, based on the volume of people using
the tbrcc medical office buildings. the hospital, the rdiabilitatioa center :ind :ill or their employees on all
shifts . He emphasi,.cd tbal we have allowed them to continue to build and to continue to build and their
demands on public parking bas increased. Are they slill meeting it7 He said be lmo1>~ they are leasing
property from the Englewood Masonic Te...,le. as be is a member. Bu~ be asked, bow many of the
employees are puking down there vcnu.s employees parking "" the street. Whlcb, be said, be will get to a
liate bit later, on one of the photographs. He said be knows Council Member Waggoner has recciYed a
couple of lettcn from Harold Woods and Jim Zadie and, be undenlandJ, there have been some other
lettm. He said be would DOI go into delail on those as they are addresse4 in his letter to Council. The
reason be mentioned those two names is to show that the parking problem isnl som ething that bas just
started, but lhat it has been there for a long time. He said be has some suggestions be would lilce to throw
out to Council . He said bow aboot doubling the fines for the overtime parking in the botpital mnes, that
could be an ordinance and they could post a liatc sign under the parking sign stating fines are double. You
can even go one step fwthcr, be suggested, and pd them up in the .;pecial pennit mnes around lbe High
School and the elementary schools to add more p.fety there . How ohout restricting the times to one bour7
Especially on the real problem strcclS. Every time be bas ever gone to the hospital, unless it was goii,g In
be surgery or an emerga,cy room visit where they hrl-e a parking struc-urc over there, if you ar-e going to
be there more than an hour yoo should real ly be going to the parking strn:tut-e anyway. So, be stated, hls
conccro is lhat we are DOI coforcing that over there and we are allowing • lot of things to take place and a
lot of hazards. He said be doesnl !mow bow many tickets wcrc issued when Englewood High School bad a
walk through on their graduation, but there were numerous ticltelS cited up at the High School and yet right
over here, blocking and obstructing views where there is a lot of foot traffic and stuff, as they will sec in •
some of the pbotos, with the sun and stuff and some of them parking clear out to the comer, that does create

thougltl the Mayors in the area could do !o h>!!p facilitate what they arc doing and be did DOI have a clue, be

also want to see more skate pa,b ... it comes L) all the time.
Mayor Bwus noted be did appoai· • the slolll:i>oard openinF for Soutu Subwban a couple of weeks ago and
it was inleresling. He memioaed to OiriJ Olson that SbeT:11 ht Sullivan was tberc to officiate and it was
good 10 see him. but it wam\ exactly in his jurisdiction. Mayor Bums said be was woodcring if
Englewood police had been invited to lltend that event. Dim:tor OIIOn indicaled they had not. Mayor
Bums said be was a lint, rurious and be noted it is th: only facility South Subwban bas that ii out of their
district. But the Sheriff made a nice appearance. was very complimemary to all of us, got on the
miaophonc aad canied on for '°""' time.
2. She Slated the home site for the Wrb still bu current articles dated from 1998 and she was not

that be thought one nftbose wu his 11111 tbey have beea Oil him to update that a liale biL Ms. Gnzulis said
the Holiday from 1998 and what the theme was is on tberc and she felt it should be changed.
(iv) Coonci1 Member Waggoner noted it was a long time ago, but at one time we had
some problems with the conttactors that Public Service Company was hiring to patch streets and we called
Public Sen,ce Company in and tbn:atened 10 do away with the benefit tbey get DOW OD street CulJ. He said
be tbinb tbey get a street cut p,,mit for a basic fee, where we chqe everybody else $2 .00 a square foal,
or it was $2.00, maybe it is $4.00 now. And we do the patebillallld that way it gets done in good time and
is a quality placemeut. Mr. Waggoner said it see1111 to him that Public Service .Company is very lax apin,
that the conlJaeton tbey hire are absolutely doing a tarible job . The ~hes settle and they look rough for
a long time, tbey just don~ take pride in their work. He said be thinks it is time that Public Works gets
tog<ther wilh Public Service Com,oany and lhreaten to change ... an< be l<uows he is willing ... 10 change the
code to where we do the pal<billg 11Wldves, that way we lalc>•· ..• s dmo right and in good time. H,

let them mow JJRCisdy what the an:as arc and they are behind. It is putting a lot of pressure on us 111d on
them to move ahead, but we arc really trying to aa:onunodale. From a liq,.10r code standpolnl they have to
meet cer1ain requiraoents.
City Manager Sears asked that Chris Olson update Council with the latest informalioo this evening no
where we arc.
Director Olson advised be was over there tonight and the only people in the building arc coosttu..1ion
worl<cn frantically putting things together. The pony WIS scheduled for tonight and we just waolcd to go
over there and make sun: people wcn:n, in the building, but that is IIOl the case. Wort is moving forward
frantically and the last word they got tonight WIS that they will be in there all night long, he said. Lance
Smith and Ben Greene were over there earlier and they feel that they an: probably about 90% to complctioo
on the things we demanded be done. They had their water tcSI, apparently, and Tri-County has given them
an okay. Ben Greene will go on in there tomorrow and test the fire a1ann and the monitoring systems, so
they are very, very close. Mr. Olson commented that bow they will be able to open tomorrow night be was
not sure, because the place is just full nf people working in there and construction equipment and., on.
But as City Manager SeaJS indicated, wc will, tomorrow aftanoon ... and Lance Smith conveyed to the
supcrvi,or o,,er there ... that after 3:30 p.m. we will DOt be going back there later thal night to do mnn,
inspections. That will be the cutoff point and be will have to have thooc requests in by that time, odierwi5c
we won, go on bod<. So wc will meet tomorrow and at this point. surprisingly they arc about JO% away
from at least being able to open given the criteria that we established for them. What conditioo it will be in
at that point be just doesn't know. But, be said, if you drive by there now there arc people scrambling all
over thal building and they are close .
Council Member Habcnichl nolcd there WIS a lot nf activity over th, weekend. She said she thinks it is
important that they open under the codes that we have and at the sai ne time she thinks that wc are being
very coopenlive in working together and partnering. So she is hoping they can get all of that done.
Director Olson said be would have to say that our people in building and in the Fm: Manhall's Office have
really wolkcd with them much more than they usually Jo on most projects. They understand what they
have to act done to be in compliance. So, he stated, if this is nol done, just from a life safety standpoint,
then we just cannot let them proceed. Hopefully, they will contact us tomorrow by 3:30 p.m. and we will
meet to discuss whal our next phase is and go from there. Diroctor Olson advised that wc arc prepared to
not allow them to have the event tomorrow night if they arc IIOl in compliance . Hopefully, be said, they
will be because we don't want to go thrnugh that scenario.
Mayor Bwns noted they have r=ived some good, fioc publicity too and be bopcs that they can open. It
will be so much bellcr for their business .

Mayor Bums said Council appreciates all his bard work oo this and wortina with than.
City IYiaDagcr Scus COll1IDClll<d that k is our obligatioo to work with them, that this is really a nice asset to
the commtmily. Butal the same timt , the TCO, the Temporary C<r1il!Clle'lf0ccuponcy, gives 111 some
fle.,aoility and we will use that flexil>ili:y to make this happen without putting "' or them Into jeopudy of a
life safety issue.
Council Member Habenicht said she thillks it is a real fioe line between being supportive of businesses aod
construetioo and watching out for the well being of the citizens. She opined that our !talf does a wonderful
job.
City Manager Sean said he knowa Lance Smith and Chris Olson arc doing a wondcrftll job of working
through this.

nokd she and Council Member Bradshaw have brtX1ght it up and it really looks nice, sbe drove by there.

ll . City Man11Fr'I Report
(a) City Manager Scan noted we have done this in the post, but be wanted to bear if Council
bas aoy comments regardiJII the Lions Oub miniahae tnin mainlcnancc CODbacl. They would like us to
take over the maintenance of that 111d p,y us on an boorty basis for the mataials thal we provide to
everybody else . Council Member Bradshaw and Mayor Bums commented thal that makes sense. So, City
Manager Scan said, we arc going to go libead llld do that.
Council Member Waggoner said that will be a conlracl, just like with the schools . City Manager Scan said
thal is right
Council Member Gan.'il.isml ifwe arc prOIJ:CICd OD the liability side. City Attorney Brotzman advised
that the City bas an overall ,greemeut with the Lions Club. The agreement currcnlly provides that they will
take care of maintenance and yes it does provide for liability protection for us.
(b) City Manager Sears said Ibey did have tile Coacret, Utility discussion for the Study
Scssioo earlier and be does not know the urgency or gelling inlo this. He knows we arc in concrete
construetion season and that this is to aa:ommodale people who want to do other work on their property in
addition to conattt. He DOied if Council would like to talk about that this evening we can do that If then:
is not any urgency WC can pm this olf IO the next Council Study Session, he said.
Council Member Waggoner noted iftbey have started into the prognm already there may indeed be people
out there who want to piggy lack on the project in order to get driveway work done or service walk work
done . And, be said. it is much easier to get that done at the same time. OOlcrwisc you have to wait until
after that is finished and it bas cured and you have to bring somebody else in.
Council Member Bradshaw advilod Ibey ran into a little problem in Arapahoe Acres over the handicapped
area and Ken koa was kind cuougb to respond, very quickly, within mimics. And Ibey found out that
even though it is ADA specs OD that that we still need to notify residents when K is going to 01:cur and there
was some stuff that M.. Ross helped troubleshool and she really appRciatod it

J-21,lffl ,..,.,
Mayor Bwna suggeaed lhey go ialo dllcussion and Director Roa CID Jjw Council tbe bat CM~
recommendation 1h11 docs aot overbwdm tbe City, bul yet aa:ompliabcs tbe purpote of helping die
citiuns.
DiRCtor Ross explained thal buically lhey wanled IO tailt about two issues. One was IO dqx'8I ....t, CUii
and what happens is we 11111 doing tbe work wilh tbe Cmxfflc Utility Pmgram and a porticm of It is in the
driveway area and Jl"'Ple aren\ very fond of their Hollywood curbs and they want tbe cwt, cut~
In response IO Milyor Bwns, Mr. Ross C.'Plained lhal a depressed cwt, cu is a tnullitiou wbon: ii comes
down and leaves about an inch or zero of a lift. So buically what harAJCDS is instrad of driving.., over a
four inc,\ dcplh al cwt, walk they will go ....,. one in ~ or no inch, ii is n lot more g111tlu.il. It dcvala tbe
jar you !eel as you an, drmagialoyourdmeway. We Fl illlO tbe situalion where,.. have the Utility
Pmgram to rq,lace concrete tbat is in poor condition and we explain Ibis IO tbe people. But we do work
with the Jl"'Plc and explain that if ,0% al th.:, driveway is in bid condition we will go ahead aad replace it
all and give you the depressod cwt, cut F.--Jy, be atlvisctl, we haw pRlly good Jl"'Pic out In the
field and lhey will even take 1h11 IO tbe next slop and they will look al the romainins ponioa and if ii looks
like it will go bid in two or throe years, even though it doesn't meet Ibis year's !<St, lhey will still go abeatl
and rq,lace it Ho explained thal"" have DOt receival any complaiJD cm i~ 90 we feel that is the way IO
continue IO handle that situation, but we WUICd IO nm it by Council aad make sure ii meeta with CGuDcil's
approval .
Mayor Bumi commentod that if ii im\....., don\ fix it
Director Ross explained Iha! onsilc concrete is a little difrcm,t story and we take a bands off apprca:b ID
1h11. We buically give the penon tbe name of our amlllCIOr and phone number and they can coalact them
and try to scbodule their work . Typically our concrete conllaCIOI' is a little more expensive than a Jot of the
people who do this kind of work. lie noted thal ii seems that cveryt,ody bas a brother-in-law or a uncle, or
a friend of a friend who bas a coople of finishing tools anti a pick-up truck and inslcatl going lhrough our
contractor.
Din:ctor Ross noted that wbat"" haw in tbe economy today is, !bes Jl"'PIC, when lhey an, worting cm
this program, their finishing aew is scbcdulal for IM> Olhcr jobs as IOOll as they finish Ibis job. So they
an, rcally DOI too approad,able in lllday'a ecoaomy to do thal ldatl ofwort. Bulcally, be lldvilod, 'Ml just
f'acililalc them, give them anameantllllllllberofwho to contact and if they have any luck fine, if they don\
they can have a brother-in-law or some ftimtl of• friend. We don\ rcally want IO go any farther, be said.
Obviously you get ialo libations wbon: Ibis work is done IO our spocilicllions ... it is well definotl ... you
have IO do things exadly i:a:onling to our ,pecificatiom and standards, and -,,ce you deviate anti pt off
the public way ... some people like a swirl fillish, some like a broom finisb ... liley have dilr~ideuand
dilrercDI expectations and ii is a little difficult for III IO enforce Ibis persons e.pectations and what they
want It is better that lhey enforce their expectations and they CDlcr inlO a collllllct with a conlrlClor.
Council Member Waggoner said it would sure help ifyoo would givo lbat collllllctor a little nutlgeantl say
we ,voultl appreciate it ifyoo would work with these Jl"'Ple. Mr. Roa Slaltd we could cer1ainly do thal.
The nudge part is kind of dillicul~ ii is kind of a tough spec to write when you say thou sbal~ becauae
when you liWt pulling thole mandalea In there, then unfortunately if they rcally don\ WIIII IO do that they
mighl price ii in a way that is DOI vc,y favorable . We can certainly indicate on our specs lbat we will
expect the Jl"'Ple who bid oor work IO do this, but i• 7'0n\ be any cheaper, but we CID al least give them a
beads up when they bid. PircclDr Ross ulwl Cow.ciI Member Waggooer if he had any ideas as to how we
can do this . Mr. Waggou said DO, ·, ,,. it ,eema like it wooltl be easier once the dump truck is 001 there
and they have machinerJ 001 there, to g., ahead aotl remove the Olhcr concrete at tbe same time. Director
Roa DOied Iha! he used to be in the couniclioa businesa and tbe limes were a lot leaner when he was
doing it When we were _.,ached by Jl"'PIC, wbco "" were out in tbe field. we gave them a break,
becauae there was DO point in charging this person mobilization foes, when I was llreatly charsins that to
