Mr. Goggin gave his views on the annexation and asked various questions concerning the annexation. He stated that many people had moved into the area in order to stay out of any City, and he felt that the people there needed to fight to retain their rights. He questioned the legal status of the City's case in the Santa Fe -Union area. Mayor Taylor requested Mr. Goggin to stick to his parti- cular point. Mr. Goggin stated that his point was that the City needed to freeze all action in the Santa Fe -Union annexation area in the way of zoning, and reverse its decision to annex. City Attorney Berardini stated that the City had to follow the State laws in the annexation procedure, and that the case is currently being heard in the Arapahoe District Court. The test of the constitutionality of any law is in a court of law and not before a city council •. The City Council could direct the City Attorney to not pursue the court case any further, but otherwise the questions raised by Mr. Goggin should be decided in a court of law. Mayor Taylor stated that the Council would take the concerns of Mr. Goggin under advisement. Mr. Clarence Odneal, Special Citizen Invitee, stated that if the City waited for the people to do what is right in many situations, the job would never get done.

Mr. Goggin stated that he belonged to the organization of the United States of America and State of Colorado and the Colorado Patriots.

He felt that the Court would decide what the law was in this area. * * * * * -5 - Mayor Tayl or s t ated that some persons wanted to appear before Council in rel ati on to the S o uth Broadway widening project which had re c e ntly be g u n . Mr . Otis E . F ul ler t on, 6 0 4 5 So. Eaton Lane, (residence,) I and J665 S o . Broadwa y, (bus i n e ss , ) ap p eared before Council. He stated that the re asons against the median strip on South Broadway were many . The median would cause snow maintenance problems along wit h repair problems. The widening of Broadway would mean removing t rees from the side of the street. He felt that the left t urn t o business along Broadway was essential fo r those busines se s . He felt that painting the .median strip was a much cheape r f o rm of median than a raised median. Mr . Bob Murphy , J 850 So. Broadway (residence) appeared before Council . He st ated that they were widening Broadway within five to six feet o f his Motel, and as a result he would loose $4,000 a year for t he business of a room which would be impossible to rent out . Mrs . Donal d C. Foulds, J750 So. Broadway (business) appea r ed before Counci l . She stated that they had recently bought a $70 ,000 piece o f p r o perty on Broadway for an antique shop; she f elt that left tu rn signals were necessary along Broaddway going south . Mr . Howa rd Ne al, J800 Block of So. Broadway, appeared before Council . He s t a t ed that Broadway should be widened but should be painted instead. Mr . Je rr y Lay, J. J. Lay Plumbing and Heating, appeared before Council . He i nquired whether there was still time to stop the med i an strip . Dire c tor of Public Works Waggoner replied in the a f firmative , stating that it would still be three weeks befo r e it would b e built. He felt that the maintenance of a median st r ip would be greater, but that trees and planting in each median st r ip in ea c h block would help to beautify South Broadway. The r e would be chann e l ization for left turns at the intersections. He felt that acci dents were caused now by left turns in mid- block . Greenery in t he middle of the streets would replace what had to be taken out o n the side in order to widen the road. It would leave five la ne s of traffic each direction and one left hand turn lane along wit h parking along South Broadway. Mr. I Lay inquired as to t he s a fe t y factor of a median strip •. Acting City Manager Waggon er st ated that a painted median could not be driven over if it were a double -double line, and the State's proposal was for a no t urn i ng type double-double line. He felt that nobody would be a ble to see the paint on So. Broadway if there were snow on to p o f i t . Mr. Lay stated that even though it is much safer with t h e medians, many people were opposed to the looks of them . Act ing City Manager Waggoner stated that the maintenance of the plant ers would be approximately $1,000/year and that painting would normally be done three times a year. I I -6 - Mr . Lay inquired wh ether th ere would be an increase in accidents due to painted medians. Acting City Manager Waggoner stated that r aised medians le ssened t he chance of accidents. Mayor Tay l or stated that this item would be on the a g enda f or the n ext Council meeting, and that the Council would get mo re input o n i t . He felt that not only the businesses were involved, but thousands of persons used the street daily for transpo r tation , and they must be considered also. Councilm an Ma n n inquired whether Mr. Murphy was aware that the City wa s plant ing 64 trees in the stretch; Mr. Murphy replied in the n egative. Acting Ci t y Manager Waggoner stated that the State had h e ld a public h earing in the Chamber of Commerce building where the p re s e ntation was made to have raised medians and planters. Acting City Manager Waggoner stated that there would also b e ornament al light poles instead of wooden ones along this st r etch .

The ordinance at final drafting was I very close to the Cities of Lakewood, Littleton, and Boulder so that the standards would be uniform for enforcement purposes. Enforcement would be through the Department of Community Devel- lopment by a Noise Abatement Officer. Ur. Bob Simmons, Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, gave an over view of the noise control programs in the nation. He stated that the United States currently finds itself very concerned about noise. The Mountain States have been the most concerned of those in the nation. He felt that it was important to assign the responsibilities for enforcement to one individual who the public has faith in. He felt that it was usually be s t not to assign this to the Police Department. He encouraged Council to encourage enforcement of a decreased noise level rather than using it as a method of collecting fines. Mr. Hal Weber, Principal Audiologist, Regional Noise Pollution Control Officer for the Colorado Department of Health, appeared before Council. He stated that he was hired by the State of Colorado in the 1950's to help children with ear trouble and to give medical treatment. He related some of the medical problems involved in loud noises in the Colorado region. He stated that continued exposure would make problems which are irreversible to the ear. Mr. Dan Shanfelt, Environmental Control Officer, City of Lakewood, appeared before Council. Mr. Shanfelt described the City of Lakewood control program. City Attorney Berardini stated the noise control was a legitimate way for a City Council to enforce public health and safety , and described the ordinance to them. Captain Leon Mull, member of the Englewood Noise Abatement Committee and member of the Police Department, appeared before Council. He stated that the police had encouraged an attempt to keep with standards that the other cities had used for enforcement purposes. He felt that the voluntary compliance was by far the best manner to go. Mr. William Brokate, Assistant Director of Community Development for Code Enforcement stated that he felt all had been said on this issue. Mr. Werner Schnackenberg, citizen member of the Englewood Noise Abatement Committee stated that noise was harm- f u l both physically and emotionally to the human being. He I I I -8 - wanted the efforts t o be uniform with other cities and felt that the attempt was to inform rather than to punish or harrass. Andy Mc cown, Assistant City Manager, stated that the money had been set aside in the Revenue Sharing Budget for this and that a job desc ri pt io n was no w being drawn up. Councilm an Cl ayton inquired on where the Noise Control Officer would wo rk. Assistan t City Manager Mccown stated that it would be in the Department o f Community Development.
