cident involving nudity, drunkenness, and rowdiness; they were very upset with
the dispatcher and police officer who finally responded to their call . Hrs .

become overgrown and unsightly. They concluded by stating they no longer con-
sider it a privilege to live near the park. They thanked Council Member W1g-
g1ns for having taken action to chain the entrance; however, they requested
more enforcement and/or pennanent closure of the entrance . Mayor Van Dyke
thanked the Connells for bringing this infonnation to Council. Council Member

neighborhood concerns expressed by Mr. and Mrs . Connell , adding that enforce -
ment is a prime concern. He explained that often when disturbances or activi-

forcement of city ordinances.

ensued regarding the proposed agreements between the City of Englewood and
Cities of Sheridan, Littleton, and Castlewood Fire District; also, firrt
response agreements as opposed to automatic aid. Ms. Fischbach stated she w,,s

formed about this subject.
(f) Alan Elder, Box 300459, Denver 80203, complained about a recent
Incident with the Police Department involving a trailer h~ had borrowed which
the police had confiscated as abandoned and were holding for tow charges. He

vate citizens of their property. He requested that the C1ty reimburse him for
his expenses In getting the trailer back.
(g) The presl~ent of Good Decale inquired about the wi dening vf Winder-
mere. It was suggested that he discuss his question with Director Waggoner.

to concerns from Council as to l ne impact the agreement will have on the C1ty
of Englewood. He assured Council that If Englewood cannot respond either
mutually or automatically to I call, the option to decline ts written Into the
agree1Nnt. The City would never respond to a call for ass !stance when It

Golf Course fees to be effective October 15, 1990. She explained that the
purpose of the proposed fee increases Is to begin to bring Englewood Municipal

area public golf courses. Staff believes this action 1s prudent In order to
maintain the long term service provision capabi l ity of the Englewood Munlc1p1l
Golf Course. She further stated that it may be necessary to consider addi-
tional fee increases in 1992 and 1993. The proposed fee schedule, If 1mple•
mented , w1ll result In an estimated revenue increase of $125,000 dur i ng 1991.

(g) Public Works Direc t or Waggoner advised Council that th i s is a
resolution of intent to fol'II Concrete District 1991. he area Is bounded by
Kenyon, Clarkson, Quincy, and Broadway . Notices are prepared to be ma l led
October 5, 1990, with a public hearing set for November 13, 1990 .
Council Member Koltay noted that the entire Concrete District 1991 falls
within District III. He quest i oned why the paving district and concrete dis-
trict could not be combined . Hr. Koltay felt this would allow the citizens to
take advantage of the same bond sale, and c011plete all the paper work at the
Slll8 time. Mr. Waggoner stated they could be combined; however, the reasons
for handling them separate l y are: 1) because a ten-year payback is usually
allowed on a paving distri ct as opposed to a five-year payback on a concrete
district, and 2) different types of contractors bid a large paving district as
opposed to those who bid the smaller concrete district .
Council Member Ko l tay felt that In response to feedback from hi s constituents
the two districts should be combined into one larger district for 1991.

(111) A resolution concerning Tufts/Union at Santa Fe was present-
ed by Council Member Clayton. Mr. Chyton explained that as Council's rep -
resentative to the Metropolitan Transportation District Comlttee (HTDC) he
has endeavored to represent Council through its decision to support a separat-
ed intersection at Tufts/Union and Santa Fe Drive. The NTDC approved and in-
dicated they intend to fund this project along with several others. Unfortu-
nately, the State legislature did not pass this bill and funding was not ap-
proved. Mr . Clayton noted there 1s always the opportunity to continue to pur-
sue these projects through the State Highway Depart111ent and that a number of
our projects are included on the State Highway Department's top ten list . He
noted that CU did a study of a portion of the industrial area in Englewood and
reconnended that without this connection at Tufts/Union the Industrial area
would suffer serious devaluations of property. He urged Council to support the
access at Tufts/Union and Santa Fe as well as the other projects Council has
pushed for during the last year. Mr. Clayton stated he would not support this
project wlt~out State funding or without some type of "barricade" at Tufts to
separate and protect the residential areas . The resolution was assigned a

Nays: Council Members Koltay, Hathaway, Clayton, Van Dyke
Motion to table failed.
Council Member Habenicht agreed that Council Member Clayton has endeavored to
promote the concerns of the con111untty with regard to highway projects;
however, she noted she has also been Instrumental and worked hard In lobbying
the State legislature. She expressed the opinion that it ts inappropriate to
vote on this Issue without affording the public a chance to voice their con -
cerns. Ms. Habenicht objected to the credence given the study done by CU,
referred to by Mr. Clayton, stating it was a study conducted by a graduate
student as part of his curriculum. She questioned the timing of voting on
this issue now since the Highway Department recently sent letters to the af-
fected citizens assuring them that a decision has been made to comply with the
alternative supported by those citizens. She expressed disappointment that
Council is intending to consider the resolution at this meeting.
M<1yor Van Dyke responded that this is a very controversial issue. She ex-
plained she originally had been against keeping the Tufts/Union interchange
open based upon input at the town meeting and information available last year .
At this time, however, she believes con111untcating with the State Highway De-
partment by approving Resolut i on No. 82 will Increase the potential for State
funding for this project. She emphasized that her support depends upon State
funding and the City's ability to reduce or eliminate access at Tufts. She

stressed the importance of representative government and Counci 1 's 11ajority
rule.
Council Member Koltay noted the main difference between the proposals 1s that
now there Is an opportunity for total funding of the project. He connented
that If the project is funded by the State it would be an enhancement to the
connunlty and to the business sector. He urged support.
Council Member Hathaway took exception to some of C?uncil Member Habenicht's
coaents as she feels there is a concern among the business people she has
spoken with that the closure of Tufts/Union will "sever them from a VP.ry vital
COIIIIIUnity.• She also noted that closing Tufts and Union will adversely affect
the residents of Centennial Acres as this provides a secondary access point
for rescue services to that aru. Ms . Hathaway stated she did not feel we
should pay for this project, but we should not negate our chance to get It
fully funded.
Council Member Wiggins stated he could not support this resolution as he feels
the citizens, in both the residential and Industrial areas of his District,
have made It clear they do not want the Tufts/Union/Santa Fe Interchange . He
noted "they saw no problem with using Navajo to go north to Oxford or use the
Navajo/Windermere route to go over to Belleview ."
Council Member Habenicht responded to Ms . Hat~away's remarks by noting there
is access to the Centennial area via Belleview and/or Oxford. S~e added that
a nllllber of cit I zens at the town meet Ing had addressed other concerns, not
just the financial issue.
In response to an Inquiry of Council Member Koltay, City Manager Fraser statatl
that ine Navajo alignment, from Oxford to just north of Tufts, ts contemplated
by the State Highway Department as a frontage road. The current State pro-
posal does not allow for a connection fr011 Navajo to Windennere or any ht·
provetnents to the area south of Tufts.
Council Member Clayton advised that it is his understanding the Navajo bypass
is also in jeopardy. He encouraged Council to demand adequate access which
will enable the City's Industrial area to be served properly from the Santa Fe
corridor. In his opinion, the City should push hard for the Navajo bypass,
the Uni~n/Tufts connection, access at Oxford and Belleview Avenues, and con-
tinued improvements at Hampden and Dartmouth Avenues .
Council Member Habenicht agreed that Improvements are naeded; however, she
does not believe the resolution In question resembles improvements.
