Safely Services 10 adopt a bill for an ordinance amending the section or the Englewood Municipal Code
pcnaining 10 E-911 emergency lelcphonc llnc charges , Mr . Oise • rdalcd Iha! he is chainnan of the
Arapahoe Couniy E-91 1 Emergency Telephone Authoriiy, He staled that the recommendation is for •n
nmcndmcnl 10 the original intcrgovtnuuenlnl agrccmcnl which ~ill roducc the mon1hly line charges from
$.45 per pl nc lin 10 $.28 per line. The in1en1 or the roduction is 10 reduce the rapidly gro~1ng n:scrve
fund 10 a status qi. funding «:Cnario. He said this was approved unanimously by the Authoril)' wilh the
pro,~sio n that the 'unding be revisited each year in case Lhc funding docs not meet projections in the
fu1urc . He said 1hc mnjoril)' or lhe enlilics in lhe Arapahoe Coumy E-911 Authority have already
nppro.,.ed 1hc roduction .
Responding 10 Counci l Member Hnbenichl . Mr. Olson said lhe fund balance has grown lo approximately
$2 million .
Ms. Habenicht asked if 1his reserve might be used toward funding of n communications center for which
Ar.1p..1hoc County is pursuing a sales 1.1.x.
Mr. Olson sai d it is his co n1 cnt ion 1h.1 t thc fun ds can be used for ancillary needs and equipment rather
than just for the E-911 S)'Slcm i1sclf. He s.1i d this is not the opinion of the majority of the Boa.rd. ahhough
some agree \\ilh him . He said there \\ill be a study session 10 set up a list of equipment that ctn be
purch.1Scd . He said lhc Board can make lhe ullimnle dc1ennina1ion on how lhc funds \\ill be spent and
1hcy have voted ool lo spend ii on an)1hing but E-911 eosls. even !hough some aulhorilics use ii much
more broadly. He said the Arapahoe Counly E-911 Aulhoril)' has historically been very conscn'3tivc wilh
1hei r spending.
Council Member Wiggins asked for cl arification on whether the Arapahoe County E•9 1 I Commission ean
spend lhe funds on ani1hing other lhan E-9 11 . Mr. Olso n said lhal then: arc diffcrem inlerprclations on
1his. Al1hough 01her aulhorilics spe nd funds for olhc:r related expenses. the intcrgovcmmcnlal agn,emenl
creaied for Arapahoe Counly is very rcstricli\'e . He rel ated. however. that lhe assistanl counl)' anomey 's
interpretation is that the surplus can be used for olhcr items, excluding personnel and training costs. Mr.
Olson s..1i d he fee ls that includes radio equipment. co nsoles and other items that arc used in a
comm uni ca tio ns system th.ll helps with th e ':-9 11 process .
Ci1y Manage r Clark sai d 1he Ci1y ·s posi1ion all along has been 1ha1 lhe money should be spent in Ibis
manner and the public expects that the fund s \\ill be spcnl for the purchase and maintenance of E-911
equip ment.
Council Member Habenicht asked about the rcp rcscnL11ion on the Arapahoe County E-911 Authori1 y. Mr.
Olson responded th,11 Arapah oe Coun1y ha s one rcprcscrua tin~ appoin ted by the Arapahoe County
Co mmissioners and the rest of the Authority co nsists of police chiefs and fire chiefs appointed by their
jurisdictions. Currently there is 1101 a rcprcscntati\'e from the Arn:1Ji11.~ CO'Jllt)' Sheriffs Department who
is a \'oting member. although there is a Cou nl y representative. l-'c invited Council to anend Authority
meetings, staling it will be helpful if they e.'iprcss lheir concerns . i4e recommended that Council approve
the proposed reduction at thi s time. stating 1ha1 he \\ill be working on the issue of how lhc reserve money
can be spent.

constructed taking into occount that some offset funds mighl be availab le from E-911. Mr. Olson
responded that his original recommendation was to try to get some portion offset but primarily we were
asking for an upgmde on 1he ronso lcs thcmsclvcs. The cost "ill be aboul $128,000 and he "ill still try 10
push for 1ha1 from lhc E-9 11 Au1hori1y.
Council Member Ha1ha""'Y asked if there has been a signilican1 number or complainlJ over I.he rate being
cluugcd for thc E-911 service . Mr. Olson said then: wen: none in Englewood and ve,y rcw lbroughoul lhc
Counly .
Responding to Council Membr.r Waldman. Mr. Olson raid that then: ,.;u not be a phone bill cn:dil back
10 July 21 , 1995 because 1he mle r<duction will not be effective until Im . wy I. 1996 .

Commissioners on the proposed .2 per cent sa les ta."< incrcasc . He s:aid that $2 .8 million oflhc Cou n!:,
budgcl proposal is for their communications system and Englewood rcprcscntntivcs Uiberl •~::.1 to fund it
through 1hc rcscn-c . The County chose not to do that and ii "ill be on the b.11101 in No\'cmbcr . There is
some concern . he said that ,·occrs will confuse the County issue with Englewood's own ballot issue
