Mr. Byerly indicated that specifications had been prepared for the bidding of the City's health insurance and life insurance fringe benefit package. He indicated that the maximmn benefit on the life insurance would be raised from $8,000 benefit to $11,000 beneJit and that the health insurance would be bid in a package comparable to the current coverage of Blue Cross -Blue Shield. The tentative date for receipt of bids was set for November 1, 1969. Mr. Byerly estimated that the total cost to the City for the health and life insurance would be $42,000 and $15,000 respectively.

City Manager Dial stated that the City of Englewood now participates in group life insurance at roughly one-half the total cost to the employee and that the City Council had discussed the possibility of absorbing the full cost. Mr. Dial stated that Mr. Byerly had recommended that the City Council should decide prior. to the issuance of specifications whether it wished to carry the full cost ' of the life insurance program. This would probably result in a lower cost. . . It was the consensus of City Council that the City be given an alternate in the specifications of a) paying all group and life insurance premiums: b) paying under its present schedule: c) that the specifications be designed to give the bidder the option of bidding a health and life insurance combi- nation, a health insurance only, and a life insurance only: d) that no bidder be disqualified if he cannot bid on all three above combinations. * * * * * * Mr. M.

T .! .Q !{ FOR RESCINDING BUSINESS AND OCCUPATIONAL TAX TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO RE: BUSINESS AND OCCUPATIONAL TAX ON LIQUOR OUTLETS GENTLEMEN: The undersigned, licensed liquor outlets in your City, respectfully request that you RESCIND the existing Business and Occupational Tax, and as grounds therefor, would show: 1. That said Business and Occupation Tax is now applied solely to beer and liquor outlets in this City. 2. That beer and liquor outlets are now also required to collect City sales taxes on these sales, which are producing revenues far in excess of those being obtained from imposition of the Business and Occupational Tax. 3. That beer and liquor outlets are thus required to supply a disporportionate share of the revenues of the City, above and beyond services supplied, resulting in gross discrimi- nation against legitimate business enterprise, existing and operating because of the desires of the majority of the inhabi- tants. 4. That liquor outlets within your City are placed at a competitive disadvantage with simiiar establishments in adjacent conununities under the present circumstances." . . (Note: The petition was signed by 31 people, all.owners or operators of 3.2 or liquor outlets. The petition is not .certi- fied as to circulation.) Mr. Cartwright stated that the occupational tax is unfair and discriminatory and that the cost involved in policing liquor outlets is in proportion to that cost in policing retail businesses. 511 512 Minutes of October 6, 1969 regular City Coun~il meeting.

The Mayor declared the motion carried. * * * * * * City Manager Dial stated that the passage on first reading of the emergency ordinance providing for two-way traffic on Hampden Avenue and left turns on Bannock and U.S. 285 had caused the City administration to prepare a po~sible implementa- tion method. Mr. Dial presented this method to members of City Council on a drawing dated October 6, 1969. Mr. Dial stated that the proposed system depicted on the drawing was designed to allow for the maximum number of turns possible off of Hampden. City Council discussed the proposed traffic system. I I I I I I I I Minutes of the October 6, 1969 regul~r City Council meeting. City Manager Dial stated that in his opinion the Colorado Department of Highways would not allow left turns off U.S. 285 through separate traffic signal time cycles. Mr. Dial stated that in his opinion the Colorado Department of Highways might allow left turns within the present traffic signal time cycles but would be reluctant to take time off U.S. 285 for a separate left turn phase. It was the consensus of City Council that the City Manager contact the State Highway Department to determine said department's position on the signalization for left turns off U.S. 285 on South Bannock Street. City Manager Dial indicated that after the initiative ordinance is passed on final reading and no problems arise with the State Highway Department that the City administration would probably proceed to implement the traffic changes prior to the effective date of the ordinance. * * * * * * City Manager Dial reported on the left hand turn pockets installed on September 4 and 5 at the Broadway inter- sections of Oxford, Mansfield, Kenyon and Dartmouth. Mr. Dial stated that accidents at similar locations had been reviewed and it appeared that similar no parking and left turn restric- tions were not needed at these intersections. Mr. Dial stated that the alternatives as he saw them were the following: 1. To return to the state which previously existed to September 4, 1969: i.e., with no stacking lanes but left turns allowed. Mr. Dial stated that this was the situation in which the high number of accidents had occurred. 2. To allow through traffic at these intersections but prohibit left turns. Mr. Dial stated that the high volume of left turn movements at these intersections indicated that a number of neighborhood residents were using them as access to their homes. 3. Reduce the size of the pocket and, therefore, restore parking space. Mr. Dial stated that presently the size of the pockets were such that a sharp turn into them was necessary and that this would probably aggravate the sharp turn situation. 4. To lopside the lanes through the area and prohi- bit parking only on one side of the ·street. Mr. Dial stated that this would shift the no parking restriction to one side from the other. 5. To widen streets from U.S. 285 ot Quincy, which would cost $106,000 and to widen the downtown area north to Yale which would cost $100,000. City Council discussed the problem. Mr. Ed Draper, 4900 South Lipan, whose business is located at 3673 South Broadway, appeared before City Council. Mr. Draper requested additional information on the widening of South Broadway in the vicinity of his business and reiterated his suggestion made at the September 15, 1969 meeting that a special zone be created for businesses without parking, there- fore, reducing property taxes. Discussion continued. At the conclusion of discus- sion it was determined that a meeting between the owners, tenants, and other persons involved be established to discuss the left hand turn-no parking problem. * * * * * * City Manager Dial reminded members of City Council that a Pension Board should be appointed probably in mid-November, 1969. * * * * * * City Manager Dial presented a 1969 policy statement on the tree removal caused by the October 3 and 4 snow storm. 517 518 Minutes of the October 6, 1969 regular City Council meeting.

Mr. Dial stated that the cost of this construction would be approximately $8,000 and that Mr. VonFrellick had indicated his willingness to bear a portion of the cost on a number of previous occasions although a formal agreement had not been drawn. Mr. Dial stated that now, however, Mr. VonFrellick stated that he did not intend to participate in the cost of the project. Mr. Dial reviewed various correspondence between the City of Englewood and Mr. VonFrellick concerning the Cherokee extension and indicated that he would write a letter to Mr. VonFrellick calling his attention to these items. * * * * * * Councilmen Dhority and Kreiling reported on the Englewood-Littleton-Fort Logan Bus Line Committee meeting with the Cities of Sheridan and Littleton and Mr. Herbertson on October 6, 1969. Mr. Kreiling stated that it was Mr. Herbertson's desire to sell the bus line to the City of Englewood or for the cities to establish a subsidy whereby Mr. Herbertson would not suffer additional loss. Mr. Herbertson stated that if the latter approach were taken a new bus should be purchased for the opera- tion. I I I I I , I I I Minutes of the October 6, 1969 regular City Council meeting.
