1992, !'.ouncil Bill No. 16. He noted that on Februar) 18, 1992 Council de-
clared the intent to form the district, followed by a public hearing on March
23, 1992. The 11atter was considered by Council on April 6, 19112 and tabled t.o
this meeting. Mr. Esterly stated staff Is recllllllt(' ding Council proceed to
create Concrete District 1992; however, as a resul t f concrete study sessions
Council may desire to 1110dify the original stiff r -:omendatlon. He offered
that: 1) the City could absorb administrative costs of approximately S61,000,
which would require a 110d1flcatlon of the PIF budge t; 2) eliminate the Bell~-
view and Lowell properties that are currently with ut co crate, which would
reduce the total project cost by approximately S41,000; or 3) continue with
the City's contribution for concrete projects in the a110unt of $170,000 along
with the proposed Eastman project which 3,nounts to S4!,000 . In conclusion h~
encouraged Council to keep the project pen to acce pt volunteers as staff
still recetves Inquiries fro~ clttzen~ •·o v1ew the concrete distr i ct as an
opportunity to Improve their property.
COUNCIL ME"BER GULLEY MOVED, AND IT IIAS SECilNDED, TO POSTPONE THE CONCRETE
DISTRICT FOR 1992 UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COULD BE ESTABLISHED
THAT TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION All THE DIFFERENT OPTIOflS, LEAVING THE OPTION
OPEN FOR PEOPLE TO CONE INTO THE DISTRICT OR TO VOLUNTEER IF THEY WOULD LIKE
TO HAVE THE TEN-YEAR PAYNENT POSSIBILITY.
Council Member Hathaway questioned if it was possible to maintain a volunteer
pro gram if a concrete district has not been created. City Attorney DeW i tt
confirmed it was not possible . Cou ncil Member Gull ey stated she would prefer
not having a concrete district this year .
City At t orney DeW i tt offe re d two option s for CDl,nci l 's peru s al:
I

I

Englewood City Council Ninutes
April ZO, 1992 • Page 5
Opt ion No . l -A restructu;·~d program wh i ch would el l111fnate ZO residences
scheduled for new sidewall. and eliminate admin i strative costs which the
City would pay . This opt !on is addressed In Council Bil l No. 16.1.
Option No. 2 -A 100% vo l11 nteer program with payment options up to ten
years .
Discussion ensued .
Council Member Waggoner agreed that the worst sections of concrete within the
City should be replaced within the next two yens and that the areas with no
sidewalks should be addressed . He pointed out that ff the district were post -
poned for one year it would allow Council to review alternatives, compromise
on cost, address inconsistencies In the markings and set up a schedule for
completion of the worst sections of concrete. Mr. Waggoner maintained this
would allow Council to address a COlll)rehenslve progra■ for side,,ialk replac!-
ment with the City participating.
City Manager Fraser acknowledged the various concerns and pointed out the dif-
ficulty of maintaining the City's Infrastructure at a t1M when the City con-
tinues to face serious constraints in the funding available for on-going City
o~ralions. He noted that the proposed concrete district Includes approxl-
Ntely 230 properties with concl"ett daaged to the extent that water Is sHp-
ing under the Hphal t and causing d•age to the street; approxlutely 150
properties where displaceMnt In the concrete Is s uch that it creates a pos-
sible tripping hazard; and approxl .. tely 40 properties exhibiting severe
deterioration. He explained that staff prepared the two options in an effort
to addresr. Counc11 's ;.nd citizens' concerns. He advised that Option No. 1
provides th;\t the City would not assess the properties for the cost of ad-
ministering thh progru and it would exclude the properties that currently
have no sidewalks. However, those properties could be voluntarily included.
He added that staff believes there are substant i al problems with concrete in-
frastructure. As ii result of the failure in the put to appropriate funds,
the City now finds itself behind "in ten1s of keeping up.• He expressed con -
cern that on -going delays In confror,ting this issue are ultimately going to
cost more money . Hr. Fraser stated that historically the property owners in
the Ci ty have been held responsible for all concrete adjoining their property .
ThP. option considerably reduces the cost to the proper t y owners and also of-
fers an extended payment program. He maintained that staff has attempted to
develop a compromise by using a concept that has worked well in the past,
recognizing our limited revenues in the future. He encouraged Counci I to look
at the i ssue carefully before tabling It to a future date .
Council Member Habenicht reque s ted clarification of Op tion No. 2. City Man -
ager Fr a ser ; Jvi sed i t would be completely voluntary and there would be no
district on E,~tman . Council Member Haben ic ht questioned the feasibility of a
concrete program wherein the only participants are the City and the East man
proper t ies. Mr . Fraser conf i rmed that. in that i nstan ce, the City wo uld prob -
ably finance the progr am as opposed to se l l ing bonds.

Apr11 20, 1992 -Page 5
City Attorney DeWitt stated under Option No . 2 there would be no bond in g pr o-
gram or district per se. He noted e s tablishment of such a program would re -
qu ire a new ordinance.
Council Member Habenicht asked If the motion on the floor reflected Opt i on No .
2 . She was advised that the motion had been made to table Council Bill No . 16
for one year.
Council Member Gulley pointed out that Council's comments are indicative of
the reason for her mot i on, that the number of options and varying viewpoints
supported her contention that approving Council Bill No. 16 at this time would
be premature .
tli\yor Wtgglns agreed that there are many options. However, he reminded Coun -
cil of their previous agree111ent to 111inlain the concrete program for this
year . He added that delaying the program for one year would increase the
costs, and he expressed concern over the budgetary proble~s this might cause.
Council Member Gulley disagreed stating she did not feel lZ months would make
a "drastic difference.•
Council Member Waggoner expressed concern that citizens are still c011plalnlng
about the Inconsistency of urkings. He agreed there 1s I nffd to 1aprove and
maintain the City's Infrastructure and felt several options could be
considered.

point would be Inappropr i ate .
Council Member Van Dyke felt the Concrete Task Force needs time to work on
their reconllH!ndation. Howver, in her opinion, the City should 1110ve forward
with the bulk of the project. She ■1.intalned it addresses, in general, the
worst concrete concerns In the residential areas and that postponing the proj -
ect would result In potential liability.
Council Member Waggoner questioned Council Me■ber Hathawl)' H to how c1111 -

{d) City Planner St.Ht presented a reconnendat1on from the Department
of Cornnun1ty Development to adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the
Swedish Medical Cen ter Phnned Development. He noted that Swedish Med i cal
Center submitted a Planned Development. for their main c ampus and adjacent
area s In 1989 which Council approved; subsequently, there have ~een two amend -
ments. This is amendment number three which I s for the fourth medical off ice
building of approximately 83,000 square feet. During presentations before the
Planning and Zoning Co11111lssion the applicant indicated they are wi lling to
meet all 14 conditions i111posed by the City. The medical office building is
designed to acco111110date an incr·,se 1n physicians and wi ll provide additional
parking through the addition of two and a half floors to the Logan/Girard
parking structure. The applicant has agreed to a method of handling the traf -
fic situation resulting fr011 this fourth office building. The applicant has
indicated they Intend to use valet parking and half of the trips generated by
this inedical office building will stay off the City strNts. Since the appll·
cant has agreed to meet the conditions imposed by the Planning and Zoning Com-
1lsslon and a~ no opposition to the aaended Planned Development was presented
to the Connission, Hr . Stitt stilted that staff ls not recoaend1ng a public
hearing before Council .
Council Member Hathaway questioned Mr. Stitt regarding condition nu111ber 14,
the Installation of flashing warning signals at Girard and South Lincoln . She
noted It had been 1 "bone of contention of Orchard Place, Sl110n Center and
Malley Center users for years.• She asked Mr. Stitt If there was any ind i ca-
tion as to how soon this would take place as she had received sevenl In-
quiries from concerned citizens . Mr. Stitt stated a tiae-fra• had not been
established for confomance of the final four conditions. Council He11ber
Hathaway stated this was one of the probletas she had with this particular
resolution. She felt all conditions should be considered equally and she
agreed we should get traffic up to the point of the need . She s tated that in
this particular area the need wa ~ there two years ago at the i nception of the
planned development .
Council Member Waggoner stated he understood there were some traffic modifica·
tions that were to be ~•de at the tlrae of the previous a111end men t . Hr. Stitt
conf i rmed that Swedish Medical Center has c0111mltted to upgrade the lights at
five Intersections which they are doing at this time . He noted that some of
the conditions imposed fn this a111endment wou 'i d dovetail with the modlf lc a-
t i ons . Hr. Waggoner agreed with Council Member Hathawa y tha t the s1-.atemen t
s hould be el iminat ed .
Cou nci l Member Habenicht ~sked if the process wou ld be altered i f Council we re
