He , therefore, sup- ports this request . Council Member Habenicht Inquired of the travel sub-committee If th i s trip does fit into the parameters of the policy reconrnended . Council Membe r Hath- away responded by explaining it was a budget recommendation from the budge t sub-committee , not necessar i ly a policy. The rec011V11endat i on allows seven out- of·state trips per year which theoret i cal l y allows one tri p per year per coun· ell member but with the flexibility for those seven trips t o be util i zed by other me~bers if approved by Council . Council Member Wiggins offered that he would l i ke to see a "trade off" with cities In the metro area who are attending who wou ld be will i ng to share that Information with us rather than each city sending a representative. Mayor Van Dyke agreed and offered to ~ake whatever information she receives .vailable to the other metro cities . However, at this time, it is uncertain how many other cities in this area are interested in partic i pating In this partlcular con - ference based on their plans for recycl ing , especially curbs i de recycling. She feels this conference I s an opportunity to get the most recent up-to-date information to tie In with Englewood and Littleton's SMART grant recycling programs . ... ) Englewood C1ty Council Ninutts Dtc:aber 17, 1990 -Page 15 Mayor Van Dyke reiterated her Interest In this conference as being para1110unt to any other conference during 1991. The costs for attendance is estimated at $995. Council Member Habenicht comnented that since the SMART grant calls for soae ir.-klnd contribution from the City, perhaps the cost of the trip could be Included In a report as the City 's contr i bution . Council Member Kol tay discussed the di ff I culty council me111bers experience In evaluating the effectiveness of conference programs. He expressed a need to know In advance what the programs consist of In order to support attendance. Vote results: Ayes: Nays: Absent: Notion carried . Council Members Hathaway, Clayton , Habenicht, Van Dyke Counc i l Members Ko1tay, Wiggins Counc i l Member Bullock (b) Council Member 's Choice (I} Council Member Clayton brought forth three Items : (I) Council Member Clayton suggested It would be a good Idea for someone on Council to monitor the meetings and workshops of the Arapahoe County Cultural Council since thus far Englewood has been unsuccessful in having a resident named to represent the City . Council Hember Wiggins volunteered; Cily Manager Fraser offered to keep Mr. Wiggins posted concerning the meetings, etc. (2) Council Me~ber Clayton stated he had been informed t he State Highway De- partment has requested that Santa Fe Driv e be reclassified to Category 2 which means the speed limit will be increased to 55 mph front 45 mph . Additional ly, that the Ci ty of Littleton Is opposed to that reclassificat ion. Hr . Clayton suggested that staff review thi s and make a reconrnendation to Counc i l on this matter. Hr . Fraser stated a letter from him as City Manager has been prepared Indicating our concerns about this reclassificat i on . Council concurred thlt the letter should be transmitted requesting that the change not be •ade. (3) Council Hember Clayton addressed the Domestic Vio l ence Issue. COUNCIL NE"8ER CLAYTON MOVED TO DIRECT STAFF TO CONTINUE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FILIN6S IN IIUNICJPAL COURT; FURTHER THAT STAFF BE DIRECTED TO FORNULATE RECOM- NElllATIONS THAT WOULD IMPLEMENT THREE ADDITIONAL ITEMS: 1) A SUBSTANTIAL SURCHARGE ON EACH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COUNT IN THE RANGE OF $50 PER COUNT; 2) A REQUIREMENT THAT DEFENDANTS CONTRACT AND PAY FOR THEIR OIIN PROBA - TION AND/DR OTHER PROGRAMS; AND 3) A IIUNICJPAL V.A,L,E. PROGRAN BE ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR INDIGENT PERPETRATORS OF VICTINS . Counc i 1 Member Hathaway offered to second the mot 1 on. After lengthy d I scus- slon about the matter and certain opposition to the spec i fic nature of the motion , it was decided that Counc il Members Clayton and Hathaway would jointly sponsor a motion as follows: EnglftN>Od City Council Ntnutes Dec•ber 17, 1990 -Page 16 COUNCIL NEJIIERS CLAYTON All) HATHAWAY ROVED, SECOll>ED BY C(Q;CIL RENIER KOLTAY, TO DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY AND CITY IIANAGER TO ARRAI&N ALL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASES INTO ENGLEWOOD IUIICIPAL COURT1 AND CONTIIIJE TO WORK ON FORNULATION DF M ENGLEWOOD VALE BOARD, THE INSTITUTION OF FEES/FINES ON ALL DEFENDANTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF FUNDIN& ALL VICTIMS' ASSISTANCE AND WITNESS PROIIWIS, AND HAVINI ALL DEFDl>MTS PAY FOR PROBATION BY CONTRACT. It was pointed out that the lnstHut•on of fees and fines would be for all defendants and that ill defendants be required to pay for probation Ty contract . Council Member Habenicht asked for further clarification on the probation por- tion of the 1110tlon . City Attorney DeWitt stated t he motion requires the process of arraignments to continue as It currently exists; the second phase of the motion directs that 110re lnfonnat1on be provided at which time Council can make Its decision . Further, that nothing in the motion under consideration binds Council to any course of conduct Including surcharges, probation, or a Municipal Y.A .L.£. program. It does not establish fines, It does not establish probation policy, and it does not establish a surcharge for any vi olations. Counc i l Member Habenicht requested thijt the mi nutes reflect that "the motion ts just to continue with arraignments of domestic violence cases with Municipal Court, and to study these Issues for further consideration.• Council Member Koltay c011111ented that t~ continue the program as it currently exists does apply a cost to the 1991 budget. He further commented that the program needs to be cost effective and paid for by the offenders; however, he ts uncertain that a fine assessment should be placed on all fees and fines to pa/ for the program. He agrees that probation should becontracted and paid for by the ind i vidual. He further stated he cannot endorse the continuance of arraignments In Municipal Court unt il the overall costs of the program are assessed and a determination 1s made on how to fund It. This point of view was further discussed, and Hr. Clayton po1nted out that there 1-,as not been a recommendation to Increase the budget which adds impetus to the establishment of a schedule of fees and fines along with a 'J.A.L.E. program to generate revenue from the defendants to support t he progrtm. It ts his intention that the defendants pay the costs. Mr. Koltay stated he could endorse Mr . Clayton's original position which in- cluded a surcharge of SS0. Discussion ensued. City Manager Fraser, when asked by Mayor V3n Dyke, stated that on a short-term bas1s there are adequate resources to continue the program as it exists . City Attorney DeWitt concurred, stating he was in the process of drafting an or• dlnance establishing a V.A.l .E. board for Council's consideration; further, that to approve the motion co -sponsored by Council Members Clayton and Hath- away would keep th I ngs 1 ntact and provide an opportunity to study other changes. 1 .

( 11 I) Counc ll Member Hathaway thanked Council for 1 ts support In continuing the DOlll8stic Violence Program. She explained she did not consider this Issue a budgetary ite11 but a policy lte11, and that is the reason she and Mr, Clayton had presented It in a motion as opposed to a resolution adjusting the budget.

(iv) Council Member Koltay requested that the City Attorney's of- fice beginning January 1st provide Council with an assessment of all costs and tlae associated with the do111stlc violence program .
