from that group thal this would DOI be advi,able or plausible or even applicable. She asked whal bas

Mr. Scibdli dcsaibcd. in general , an O\'CMCW of the plan to put it into a bolter conlcxt to respond 10 bcr
qU<Stion . The area known as the Arapahoe Cowlly Enterprise Zone, he advised. was incorporated for the
cities of Englewood and Sheridan back in N011embcr of 1990, and a year later portiol15 ofLiUl eton were
inciudccl in the Enterprise Zone. 1bc City of Englewood bas served as the adminirmtor for this area.
The zone allows for a variety ol'Stale income tax credits for qualifying businesses 111d, he said. the
purpo1< for his being before Counc;' tonighl is because M ant to retain the zone for Englewood.
Sheridan and Lilllc1on slncc the tax crodits arc important for business rete nti on and as an expansion tool.
The City oCEnaJc-'OOd in particular is cumnUy utiiizi g tllore in our induslrial and manufacturing b&sc
as a stroog rCICr.lioo tool and a tool to allow the cxpai,.ioa ud aution of additiooal primal)' jobs within
the City . Mr. Scibdli advised that 50IDC oflhc individual tax credits include• 3% itM:Stmcnl tax credit
for in,'CSUnCnt in equipment or all kinds, from computers 10 heavy equipment. Aho, there is a tax aodit
for the rchabiiiwion of vacant building>. a SSOO employee tax aodit for both new and cxpa.ndiog business

Reviewing the fourobjectha.. Mr. Sa1>elli said that, oCthe eleven census lJXU, tllerc are IOYell tho.I

Mr. Scibelli addressed Council Member Habenichl's original questio n with regard to whal has chan ged to
make this feasibl e now. He said appn>ximately lwo years ago an application for inclusion of Ci nderella
Cil)' was submillod to the Department of Local Afl'air1. At thal time. the request was for the socond floor
or Cinderella Cily. wl1ich was dominated by office usage. The argumen1 was that it was nor n:tai l and
inclusion 1'oold sc ,e to expand lbe economy . He 58id it is his undcrsllncling that the application did not
gel 10 the formal n,view process with the Stale and ii was rccomrncndod that the timing was wrong for
that kind oran application . The lpp!OICh today, he advised, is differcnl because thc Suite has inviled us
to include thole areas which we believe would be helpful in expanding thc local economy . Also, thcr'C are
srn:ral IIX credits that -espocially beneficial to retail establishments. He mentioned the $500 w credit
for new job crcalion, for which a retail establishment is eligr'ble. and other benefits prcviousl y mcntion".d
by Cil)' Manager Clart. Mr. Scibclli explained thal we have included both Cindctclla Ci1y and the Sot th
Broadway corridor from downtown to the Lil~eton border because the opponunil)' was prcscnted 10 us .
and because we believe it can be another valuable economic 1001 for Englewood.
Cily Manager Oarl< asked Council Member Habenichl whal 1hc I'· : frame was on the EFOT ltl1on . She

will allow lldditional Ill credits IS part of the de\-eqmcnt that will occur there.
Council ~-ltlb<nichl asked if inclusion of this will prcdudc a developer from doing mi>'llll usc
housing . Mr. ScilJelli aid ii will not have any cfl'oct. and hopes that ii will be an incentive for the
de\'Clop,nc;it of lhc ,.,.._ including mixed use housing.
Council Member Clapp said that the map does not,_, Broadway going all the way 10 the Littleton

Scibelli said Iha. is correct . Currently the cntcrprisc zoae only includes the down10"11 area to Yale
A \'enuo. The area to which she is rcfenfag is not cunaitly included in the enterprise wne.
Council Member Hathaway felt since census uact S7 iac:ludcs Cinderella City and the General Iron

Mayor Bums said be geu the imp=ion that enterprise zones~• not been used very much in the past
and this is an attempt to Uy 10 accelerate that use. He asked ho•, .,c public ,.;11 be made aware that these
