Mr. Kahm ll0lal that wc are ia a linle bil ol an unusual ci.-.ce. bcc:aule ir all bis )un with the
Ci l)' this is the lint lime we ba\'e assessed impnMmenlS 1h11 weren'1 alrady on the ground. But in !his
particular inswice we know wba1 those improvements consist olbecause the S1a1e is buildi ns our
standard roadway system. except 1h11 they 11e bui ldin& a bcavicr model, our fol ks a,c only being assessed
fo r what they nonn:uly would ba\'C paid for with our ei&bl and throe standud consuuctloa in industrial
ma althou8b Ille S1a1c will build an el even inch thick deq,-slffllllh aspball section. He advised !hat we
knew in 1992 wba1 the unil prices would be for :ltls project and they were based on our IICIU.ll construction
experience from 1991 , lha1 that's II'• basis for the aaessments.10 we 11e very comfortable ia aoing
forwatd with the asscssmenlS al this time. He said we feel ii is necessary because ii is time for us 10 pay
off the SS00.000 commiuncn1 lbll wc have on the project so ii is Ilsa time for us 10 swt collectina
revenue from that Referring again to the handoul Mr. Kahtn pointed out lha1 there is a sdledule for 1he
co mpletion of this Dillrict. He noced ii reflects toni gh1's public hearing and indicalCS 1h11 Council wi ll

explained lba1 stalJ has already conlacled those folks and gi,,.. them an adjusted assessment based on a
rcsidential assessment Consequently, Council wil l receive an amended counci l bill on Septem be r J"
reflecting !hose changes as well as any other changes Council sees ft110 make a1 the concl usio n of thi s
evenings public hearing. This schedule calls for the ordinance to be in full force and cll'ect. ei ther way, by

ownen favor . So -1111)' end up with a 1....., drivcMy than wc are antlcipalin&, but we -sure
that we erred in their f8''0I' • Iha point since we are pn,oaessiag. He explained that -of the pn,j<ct
with 110nh south alipullCDI is all assesl<d on a l'lont mat basis. whero -folks can like their flulllage
and multiply it by the proper JJeCtion 1111d come up with their assessment He noled Ille only excq,cion to
that is in the c:ase o( tbe m-.no WM: wh,re we come north ftom the Navajo alipm,a,t onto Tufts and
back to the Winderme,e alipunenl He noled lbal WC are extalding Tufts bodl dl..aioas. The bandout.
he noud. show, a typiall side stroe1 MRSSmelll lllld the key~ is that ,.t,cn"" get into the side SIJOeU.
while we still assess tbe .,..,t propeny lbr tbe c:onacte section. ror tbe curb, sutter and sidewalr.. ""
pronte the cost o( Ibo pavina oa the side stroe1 ball' a block each way or 300 l'eet, whichever is less. So
the prcpc,tics immediately adjacent to Tufts. bolh nonh and south. will be assessed on a zone basis ror
their aspbalL The way 11111 !)1Jic:ally worb is that it is done oo a square raatage basis, be said, bat this is
a very simplified model . He oxplalaed "" take the 50 foot lbal is adjac,nt 10 the ,._ and it is ........i
at two-scventbs of the .,._ c:os1 with each additional 50 foot assessed at one Sle\-11. So the key bcrc
is that out of 300 reei. Ille 50 feet lhal is closes! to an .....,,.,. is always assessed 11 the twice the ntc as all
tile other squan: footage back to the mid hlock. He noced that, as he -mentioned bcfo~ we bad four
properties that were assessed al industrial instead of residential nte. For the record he identified the
owncn and properties as : Poncr al 1460 West Tufts. Eldredge al 14~0 Wcst Tufts. Bialtley at 4635 South
Mariposa and Nelson at 465 .~ South Mariposa. The change in assessment resulled in a tocal reductioo or
asscsm>enl on those four properties of $3 ,509 .99 . He said tbaL as he mentioned. they ..-ere all notified by
letter and a member of his swf met with three of them pcnonally and apologized for our error.
Mavor Burns commented thal we bad worl<ed an exchange with COOT for the ball' million dollars to use
for ·our landscaping on South Santa Fe. He noted when we had those discussions. especially through the
tri-<:itics, there "~re discussions as to wbethcr the Belleview improvement al South Sauta Fe comes fust
or this comes first. He asked if ii is true that this project is set and is going to go on its own timcliac and
is not dependent on some other project. Engineering Manager KMm confinncd that this project is now
set and several months ago when they had those discussions. as far as the landscaping and all went
COOT intended to in-Jude that lanNcaping on Santa Fe with this project an<i had told us this project
would fall after the BellC\icw interci...,~. But subsequent to that, he advised, they have come through
now and this is going to bid by October 1•.
Mayor Bums asked Mr . Kahm ifhe knew the iatcst on the BellC\iew pr oject ? Mr. Kahm said he does not.
Maybr Bums said he keeps bearing it ,.;u be paid olfthis fall .
Engineering Manager Kahm. responding to Mayor Bums. confirmed that th is proj ect is standing on its
own .

<D111111C11U11. that ill thil instance it tums 0111 to be a $4 million pN>jott when it is all said and doae. He
said the other amtribution that is-~ '1lallioning, whicb he tbougb1 Mr. Wagoner had a lot to do with
back ill tbe late IIO 's. is that Urllon Dtainqe is participating to tbe tDDe ol$150.000 in the bridge 0\-.r Big

Mayor Bums queslionod wbdbcr Phuc 2. in wl1II Mr. Kalua is dcscribillg, includes that bridge. that that
is 1101 separate. Mr. Kahm said yes it docs 111d from what the Swc bas U>ld us that will be the very first
thing that they build.
Council Membcr Vonnitta& asltal if that iswhero,it dips way down. Mr. Kalua szid it docs dip down and
tbe roadway clevalion l\ill be approximately eighteen feet higller than the low water crossing that is there
now.
Mayor Bums asked iftbe Rip that we did with them on the SS00.000 is by contnct. He said he thought
we had al,eady done that. Mr. KaJun said yes it was by contJact.
Mayor Bums asked iftbe landscaping and so forth has bocn bid out Mr. Kalua advisccl that it hlln't
been 10 bid )-et. thal that pacugc is being put 1ogcthcr right now. Mayor Bwns commented that he
thought wc ,.= going to do that in July , that thal wu tbe target Mr. luhm swcd we had hoped to do it
in July and actually we arc a little behind scllodulc. He said he will put the blame on COOT, because we
arc working with their laDdscapc folks . He advised that COOT paid for all of the dcsiro for the
landscaping Oil Santa Fe and their contnct allowccl for far man: design than we have money to build right
now. He said we took a.k-antage ofi:!::.~ct 6 willingness to design C\'CD the interchange. even though we
don 't ha,~ the money to do it So, he stated. we arc getting the cntm design out of this program. but it
100k some time to get that accomplishod .
Council Meinbcr Vonnitta& asked when they plan to b«ak din on this. Mr. Kahm advisccl that the bridge
oould go as early as late NOYCmbcr. He OOled that structures can e-,sily be handled in the "inter months
and a lot of the utility work can be done as "~II . Mr . Kahm commcntccl that he 1Wuld be r?:lll y surprisccl

Gary Kozacd< noted for the record that he is still sworn in. He said that when the public hearing came
with the Highway Dcputmcnl there wu an announcement and tiley p,-e out ten Oyen. He Slid they
reproduced them. lbat jusl prior to when he came on City Council they hid I meeting al tho Rocration
Center and they got all the neighborhood th=. Then. he noted. they had a PUC hearing to go ahead and
take all the facts o{ finding &om what the residents had lo introduce and ...,.t the High .. -.y Dtputmcnt
had to introduce. Al that point in time. he Slid. the~ wero sever.al altcmati-.. that they we~ looking at
and they had to come up with. by Stile law. whit Ibey call an impact statement. Mr. Ko=:dt expl ai ned
that that is the impact of this pn,ject oo the residents invoiYed. on the businc:sses involved and the impact
statement then has to go in ftool of a PUC hearing. He said that during a PUC hearing is when all the

during tllis upgrade. as Ibey arc calling iL down the~ on the Santa Fe corridor. He c:ommcnted that as
they went back along the way. and Oe,ced a little~ and th= and modified their project. they~ not
roquirtd to go back in front of the public with it. BuL he Slid. it had to stay within a ccnain ramification
&nd that is what the PUC bearing notes arc. He stated that ii' you want legal beagle notification and stulJ.

Mayor Burns said he lhoughl ii was also a queslioo of asussmonl of poinlS when they do that Cily
Attorney Brotzman said lhat is right
Division Chief Moore Slaled Iha\ he had a conversation. as rea:ntly as a week ago . with the Adams
County Depul)· DiSlrict Anomey. and they have adopted that system there and •~ntly they even plea
bargain lhc poinlS . In other woras, he explained. if you mail ii in by a a:nain time ii is essentially a plea
10 a lesser included offense.
Mayor Bums said yes. that he though I \here was a plea 10 a lesser included offense if they respond by a
a:nai n da1c. Mr. Moore said lhat is correct.
Council Member Wiggins said he thought ii was interesting lhal the Stile adopled perutlty assessment
they have ii and evideDlly wort with iL Ci1y Anoney Brotzman said they do and it is an automatic and
there is no other review of record . He poinled 0111 that right now if you go t.'uough OW' coun sySlem wc
often have a mail S)'5ICm lhat wc use. CX<:qJI lhal we look II their entire background rather than Denver's
S)'Slem, which is four pcinlS simp ly cut in half and then the fine is assessed. So ours, he said, is aclual ly
more labo r intensive bul it probably gives you a more justice oriented approach because yo u actually look
al what lhcir driving background is before you maltc an offer.
Counci l Member HnbenithL referring lo the section establishing the olr,a: and duties and powers of the
