Jay Schneiders, 2980 S. Emerson Street, Englewood -Mr. Schneider stated that he was a dog user
of Bates/Logan Park and a doctor at Swedish Medical Center. Mr. Schneiders said that he has
chosen to stay in the City of Englewood due in part to the commitment by the Parks and Recreation
Commission and City Council to have off-leash dog parks. Mr. Schneiders told the Commission
that as a doctor, he is aware of the concern by the public of the health risks associated with the park
but that the dog owners are committed and have proven so by cleaning up after their dogs and
policing the park. Mr. Schneiders noted that since the park became off-leash, there are no longer
the kids hanging out in the park smoking pot that was so common prior to going off-leash. Mr. •
Schneiders thanked the Commission and stated that he hoped it would remain a permanent feature.

in the City of Englewood for one year and thinks Bates/Logan park is wonderful. Ms. Wilson

safety." Information also included data compiled from surrounding cities/counties in regards to off-
leash programs, showing all have fenced dog areas. Ms. Counterman stated that the City of
Englewood needs to provide a fenced area away from residential homes. Ms. Counterman

those that are new.

institutes dog parks, she would continue to come to Bates/Logan due to the people she has met.
Ms. Levine noted that she has chosen to do all of her shopping in the City of Englewood. Ms.
Levine also commented that this is not a Denver vs. Englewood issue. Ms . Levine explained how

Jane Coleman, 3901 S . Galapago Street, Englewood -Ms. Coleman told the Commission that she
represents a constituency of approximately 150 people of the Jason Bark Park Group, which she is
the Club Coordinator. Ms. Coleman asked the Commission to not do away with the off-leash
privilege , especially at Bates/Logan Park. Ms. Coleman distributed information to the Commission
of which she reviewed and explained including off-leash privileges in a City owned park is a good
thing; off-leash privileges has provided us with clean and sanitary parks, drug abuse within the park
is practically non-existent; off-leash dog owners have taken an "ownership" approach; off-leash has
opened a door for senior citizens to walk their dogs in a safe environment, and parks are meant to
be used and not just looked at. Ms. Coleman noted that the City of Englewood co-sponsored with
the Jason Bark Park Group an event in July at Centennial Park, which was a "huge success".
Chairperson Gomes told Ms. Coleman that her allotted time was up and moved to the next speaker.
Mary Bassett, 3026 S. Sherman Street -Ms. Bassett stated that she has lived in the City of
Englewood for five years. Ms. Bassett suggested that everyone needed to step back and take a look
at what the community has become. Ms. Bassett commented that the community has always been
an impressive place with wonderful people. Ms. Bassett extended an invitation to the Parks and
Recreation Commission to come visit the park.
Virginia Smith, 3165 S. Sherman Street -Ms. Smith stated that she believes dogs should be
allowed to run off-leash but in a fenced area for the safety of adults, children and senior citizens. e
Ms. Smith indicated that dogs running off-leash is a liability to the City and that dogs should be
allowed to run off-leash in an area where their urine will not kill trees and bushes and make the
neighborhood stink. Ms. Smith said that the City must not take out the soccer field and playground
area. Ms. Smith pointed out that five of the ten parks in the City of Englewood are off-leash parks;
noting that she had visited all five of the off-leash parks and that there were no dogs at Duncan or
the Northwest Greenbelt, only two dogs at Jason and Centennial but that there were forty to fifty
dogs at Bates/Logan. Ms. Smith said that there is a limit to the number of dogs that should be
allowed in a park. Ms. Smith stated that the Northwest Greenbelt would be a nice area for a fenced
dog park due to fewer residents living near that park. Ms. Smith also invited the Commission to the
park, to see how bad it smelled.
Betty Acker, 3140 S. Delaware Street, Englewood-Ms. Acker stated that there is a leash law in the
City of Englewood so dogs should not be allowed to run free. Ms. Acker reported that if people
want to bring their dogs to the park, then put a fence around it. She said that it was no wonder that
City Council voted for the off-leash dog park, they don't live near the park. Ms. Acker told the
Commission that she would donate $100.00 towards a fund for a fence.
Kathy DiMarco, 701 E. Bates A venue, Englewood -Ms. DiMarco told the Commission that she
has two children and a dog and that they can no longer go to the park because the children are being
chased by the dogs. Ms. DiMarco indicated that her children know not to approach strange dogs
but that it is the dogs that are approaching the children. Ms. DiMarco spoke in regard to voice
control, noting that very few owners have actual control of their pets. Ms. DiMarco stated that
there are way too many dogs at Bates/Logan and because of that, children and families no longer go •
to the park. Ms. DiMarco told of a recent incident where a dog jumped up on a child and when the
child/parent pushed the dog off, the owner responded that the dog would not hurt them. Ms.

DiMarco replied that a person does not know that. Ms. DiMarco spoke in regard to voice
commands and if a dog is properly voice trained, the dog should not leave the owner's side unless
told to do so. Ms. DiMarco stated that dogs are not under control in the park and that the dogs are
taking over the park. Ms. DiMarco reported that her children could no longer go to the park on a
Sunday afternoon to kick a soccer ball around or to play. Ms. DiMarco urged the Commission to
come up with a fenced area but not at Bates/Logan so the families can have their park back.
Lewis Fowler, 3700 S. Cherokee Street, Englewood -Mr. Fowler told the Commission that he
grew up in Englewood and has been a resident ever since. Mr. Fowler remarked that there are
legitimate concerns on both sides and that a fenced dog park is an excellent solution. Mr. Fowler

that the City contact them.

City of Englewood for one year and that he works at the hospital. Mr. Marshall commented that
everyone needs to come together and find a solution. Mr. Marshall stated that there needs to be a
compromise which could be a fenced dog park but that Bates/Logan is not big enough for one. Mr.
Marshall said that he was concerned for the parents who can no longer bring their children to the
park. Mr. Marshall mentioned that there are so many people at Bates/Logan Park due to it being
the only dog park in the Englewood, Denver and Littleton area.

Bates/Logan Park for forty years, even donating land for the park, and that he has never seen the
park in a worse condition. Mr. Sigler stated that he does not like to see what is happening to the
park; that it was always meant to be a family park and that he did not donate land for this purpose.
Mr. Sigler indicated that he is in favor of a fenced dog park but not at Bates/Logan because it is not
big enough and that the number of people coming to Bates/Logan continues to escalate. Mr. Sigler
spoke in regards to dog owners no longer leashing their pets coming and going to the park, allowing
them to run freely through yards. In regards to odor, Mr. Sigler stated that it does smell.
Casey Allen, 1959 S. Clarkson, Denver -Ms. Allen spoke in regard to the "not in my backyard"
issue, noting that it is a powerful argument but overused. Ms. Allen spoke in regard to the need for

present tonight are willing to make this work but that there needs to be communication.
Dave Counterman, 2975 S. Logan Street, Englewood-Mr. Counterman informed the Commission
that day-in and day-out dogs come onto his porch, continually teasing his dogs, not being where
they are supposed to be. Mr. Counterman explained how dogs are walked for blocks to and from

signs don't mean anything if they are not enforced .
Rob Marshall, 16 E. Yale A venue, Englewood -Mr. Marshall told the Commission how he has
been a long-time user of Bates/Logan Park, even .before it was popular. Mr. Marshall commented
5
that tonight's meeting has been constructive, never having heard these comments before. Mr.

embarrassment to the dog owners; noting that he has even seen some of them happen. Mr.

Marshall stated that a fenced dog park would be a good solution.
Michell Halstead, 4241 S. Pearl Street, Englewood -Ms. Halstead stated that she has been a user of
Bates/Logan Park for the last six years and that as a soccer mom, was appalled two weeks ago
when the dog feces were so bad that the field had to be cleaned before a soccer game could take
place. Ms. Halstead reported that a full grocery bag had been collected. Ms. Halstead invited
commission members to the park to take a look; noting that it is a mess. Ms. Halstead stated that
there is room for compromise, which City Council needs to hear. Ms. Halstead told the
Commission that the park needs to be protected which is not asking a lot.
Amy Meyer, 300 E. Yale Avenue, Englewood-Ms. Meyer stated that she is in favor of the
Bates/Logan dog park. In regards to the comment that Code Enforcement has not been present, Ms.
Meyer indicated that she has personally seen Caroline Faseruk, Code Enforcement Officer, three

Commission that for the first four months, they were unaware that the Bates/Logan dog park even
existed. Ms. McFarland spoke in regard to the dog feces not being as bad as everyone is saying.
Jim Vite, 4073 S. Broadway, Englewood -Mr. Vite indicated that he enjoys the dog parks as much
as anybody and that Jason Park is better than ever but that Bates/Logan Park has too many dogs.
Mr. Vite stated that maybe when Denver opens its dog parks, it would help dissipate the users at •
Bates/Logan. Mr. Vite also suggested that Englewood add a few more off-leash parks.
Chairperson Gomes informed the visitors that it is 7:00pm and the floor was closed for comments.
Gomes stated that the Commission would review the comments and suggestions made tonight at a
later date.
V. SOUTH SUBURBAN AGREEMENT
Recreation Manager Hultberg informed the Commission that in 1998, South Suburban requested a
PUD for the enhancement of Cornerstone Park. As part of the PUD process, an Intergovernmental
Agreement was developed between the City of Englewood and South Suburban. Hultberg
explained that the agreement states residents of the City of Englewood could use the batting cages
and miniature golf facility at resident rates. In return, South Suburban residents will receive
resident rates at the City of Englewood's water park when developed. Hultberg stated he is
bringing up the agreement due to it impacting fees proposed for Pirates Cove.
Commission Member Woodward questioned that discussions in 1998 already involved a water
park. Cultural Arts Commission Liaison Moore asked how the City would determine someone is a
resident of South Suburban. Hultberg explained that the resident would need to show a South
Suburban Parks and Recreation Resident Card. Commission members commented in regard to the
large area that South Suburban encompasses and the number of residents that it would include.
Vice Chairperson Neyer stated that it would be interesting to see the agreement involving the water
park; questioning that the City was speaking of a water park at that time. Hultberg shared the •
agreement with the Commission.

PIRATES COVE FEES
Discussion moved on to proposed Pirate Cove fees. Hultberg introduced Brad Anderson, Aquatics
Program Administrator. Hultberg told the Commission that with the exception of the Golf Course,
staff does not normally present fees related to recreation programming to the Commission and City
Council but with the facility being new, staff wanted to make the Commission aware of the fees
being proposed. Hultberg noted that staff is looking for a recommendation to City Council from
the Commission if they agree with the fees. Hultberg explained that the fees are established as part
of the budget and that the target is to break even or to have revenue exceed expenditures.
Commission members were told that if the budget goes accordingly, revenues should exceed
expenditures by $30,000. Hultberg indicated that Sinclair Pool lost approximately $35,000 a year.
Neyer asked if a percentage of the budget is impacted by the aquatic facility. Hultberg responded
that approximately ten percent or $500,000 of the parks and recreation budget is impacted by the
new facility . Hultberg stated that staff feels good in regards to the proposed budget due to the
amount of research that was done on area pools. Hultberg reported that other factors that attributed
to the fee schedule included market, City Council's philosophy that the facility be affordable and
the $3.00 to $4.00 price range that was published when information first went out. Hultberg told
the Commission that staff feels that the estimate was met with the ten-visit pass card. Mr.
Anderson distributed information in regard to the proposed fees and comparisons with metro area
aquatic facilities. The information showed that the proposed fees for the new aquatic facility to be:
Non-Res
Res Youth/Senior Youth/Sr.
Daily $4.50 $5.75
10 Visits $36 $43
Season Pass $135 $170
Resident Non-Resident
Family Pass* $249 $315
Family Pass** $299 $375
*Price included two people in the same household
** Price includes three or more in the same household
Res Adult Non-Res Adult
$5.50 $7.00
$44 $55
$200 $243
Child= 2-17 years of age, Adult= 18-55 years of age, Senior= 55 years of age and up
Mr. Anderson explained that in doing the research, staff looked for a similar facility to Pirates Cove
which was determined to be both the Splash facility at Golden and The Bay at Broomfield.
Anderson discussed amenities at other pools verses Pirates Cove . Mr. Anderson went on to explain
how staff determined the fees for the facility including help from the contractor who thought the
fees could be higher but staff's and City Council's belief that the facility should be affordable for
the Englewood resident. Commission Member Woodward asked how the fees compared to
Sinclair's. Mr. Anderson stated that fees for Sinclair were $2.25 for resident youth/senior, $3.25
for resident adult, $2.75 for non-resident youth/senior and $3.75 for non-resident adult. Woodward
asked in regard to the number of admissions the revenue is being based off of. Mr. Anderson
explained that staff is looking at approximately 600 to 800 admissions per day, with an average of
100 days for the season.
In regard to the South Suburban agreement, Hultberg explained that South Suburban residents
would only be eligible for daily resident rates and not for discount resident multi-visit passes.
Hultberg noted that it is common practice elsewhere. Neyer asked in regard to the fees for
concessions. Mr. Anderson reported the concession will be operated in-house and will generate
additional revenue. Commission Member and School Board Liaison Christie spoke in regard to the
family pass and parents having to pay when not swimming. Chairperson Gomes asked if a parent
7
would have to pay if they are not swimming. Mr. Anderson responded yes , that the facility would
be too big to control otherwise. Woodward asked in regard to night hours . Mr. Anderson
explained that lights will be in the pool to allow for night swimming but due to budget constraints,
there will not be overhead lighting but that it could be added at a later date. Hultberg discussed
night swimming, explaining that the pool will be open as late as 8:00pm but that any time later is
not feasible with the Colorado seasons and late afternoon thunderstorms . Anderson added that
Water World and Elitch 's have scaled back their evening hours due to it being unfeasible.
After a short discussion whether the fees fall into the previously stated price range, it was
consensus of the Commission that the proposed fees for the Pirate Cove Aquatic Facility looked
good and seemed affordable.
VII. CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION UPDATE
Before discussion turned to an update on the Cultural Arts Commission, Gomes spoke in regard to
tonight's discussion regarding Bates/Logan and comments made in reference to dog feces. Gomes
told the Commission that Dave Lee, Manager of Open Space, had gone to Roman 's Park and
Bates/Logan to compare the number of dog feces. Gomes reported that Lee walked half of
Roman 's Park and counted forty while at Bates/Logan had only counted four.
Neyer asked how it ended up that so many unscheduled visitors came to tonight's meeting. Gomes
explained that there were two groups putting information out in the park that the City had plans for
things to happen at Bates/Logan so people started calling and making plans to attend tonight's
meeting.
Cultural Arts Commission Liaison Moore briefed the Commission in regard to a request by the
Department of Parks and Recreation for $25 ,000 of the one percent public art fund for a sculpture at
Pirates Cove . Moore reported that the request has been forwarded to the Public Art Committee, a
sub-committee of the Cultural Arts Commission.
VIII. DIRECTOR'S CHOICE
As previously discussed, Hultberg told the Commission that three program administrator positions
are being eliminated due to budget cuts . Hultberg stated that there are a number of youth sports
parents that are worried about the Youth Sports Administrator position being eliminated and that
Director Black, City Council Member Garrett and he had met with the spokesperson of the group.
Hultberg reported that they reaffirmed to her that no youth sports programs will be cut, only that the
supervision will be given to another program administrator.
Christie asked ifthe City has looked at federal funds for after school programs. Hultberg said that
he was not aware of anything that was available to the City that did not have to be collaboration
between the City and School District. Hultberg stated that he would appreciate any information on
programs that are available to the City.
XI. COMMISSION MEMBER'S CHOICE
Christie announced that the School Board Public Candidate forums have begun. Christie told the
Com m ission that there are two openings, with six candidates, one being an incumbent.
