Present: Mr . William Hanson Mr. Harry Fleenor Mr. Stephen A. Lyon, Chairman The following actions a nd discussions took place : 1 . A legal calendar of election events was adopted. 2 . An administrative calendar of e lection events was 3 . Approved a recommendation to City Council that sa laries of judges of election be raised from $20 per day to $25 per day and th a t the fee t o a judge for return of election supplies b e raised from $2.00 to $2 .50. The recommended fees would ma ke the City c ompa rable with those e lection fees paid b y Arapahoe County. The addi tional cost will be approximately $288.00. 4. The Election Commission discussed the placement of a Charter amendme nt on the ballot removing the restriction that only taxpaying, registered electors would be allowed to vote on a general obligation bond issue. Mr. Lyon called the Commission's atte ntion to certain wording contained within the present City Charter provision and the am e ndm ent provision which would be subm itted to the vote wherein it appear ed th a t the amortization schedule would be required to be stated in the question submitted to the voter. Mr. Lyon stated th a t if this interpretation is correct, it would be n ecess ary to conduct the storm sewer election with paper ballots rath er th an the voting machines and thus incur approxi- mately $600.00 additional cost . The Election c ommiss i o n instructed the Chairman to rese a rch the question wi th the City Attorney and if the pro- vision is so word ed as to cause paper ballots rather than voting machines to be used, to recommend that a further Charter amendment be prepared elimina ting the provision in question . 5 . The Election Commission di scussed the initiative petitions received on S eptember 3, 196 9 c alling for the City Council to either institute left turns at Bannock and U.S . 28 5 for north bound t ra ffic on Bannock or c aus e Hampden to be two wa y by ordinance or b y calling a special elec tion . Mr . Lyon stated that the City Council had until Octobe r 4, 1969 to place the special question on the ballot . 6. The Election Commission reviewed the details of accomplishing the election and working with Arapahoe County. The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 P.M. .. •' \ ! ~ I • • ' • • • • RECOMMENDATION TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL DATE : September 10 , 1969 SUBJECT : Municipal El ec tion Judges' Salaries RECO MMENDAT ION: It is recommended b y the Electi on Commission that the City Council pass an ordinance increasing the salari es of judg e s of election from $20 per day to $25 per day and the fee paid to the judge responsible for returning the election suppli es from $2.00 to $2.50 . DISCUSSION: This recommendation h as a threefold purpos e : A. To assist in obtaining election judges. B. To improve judge-City relationships. c . To place the City of Englewood e lection fees on the same level as Arapahoe County. The co s t of this recommendation will be approxi- mately $288 in 1969. ENGLEWOOD ELECTION COMMISSION I • • .. ' \ l I ' ! • • RECOMMENDATION TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL DATE: S e ptember 10, 1969 SUBJECT: City Charter Amendment to Section 104 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that a special question be submitted to the voters at the November 4, 1969 Municipal Election causing Section 104 of the City Charter to be amended in such a way that maturity dates and terms of general obligation bonds will no longer be required to be published as a part of the bond question. DISCUSSION: Se ction 104 of the City Charter presently states: Maturity dates and terms of the bonds, other than water bonds, shall be as provided in the proposition submitted to the taxpaying electors. Water bonds shall mature and be payable as provided by the ordinance authorizing the issuance of said bonds. Th is provision requires that the bond amortiza- tion schedule be known and designed prior to the submission of the question on the general obli- gation bonds to the electors . From the standpoint of conducti ng an election based upon an opinion from Mr. Bill Lamm, which is attached, this provision of Section 104 re- quires that the bond proposition itself must include the entire amortization schedule. Such a requirement will effectively cause paper ballots to be required rather than voting machines. A paper ballot election for all Englewood precincts would cost at least $600 more than an election in which voting machines are used. For this reason the Election Commission recommends the above City Charter amendment. From a financial administration standpoint, also, this feature is undesirable .

Dial, City Manager FROM: Stephen A.

A c opy of the first page of the pe tition s is at tach ed hereto. The question to be sub - mit ted to vot ers reads as follows: An ordinanc e removing the left turn traf~ic restric- tion at the intersection of South Bannock St. and State Highway 28.5 , City of Englewood, Colorado and designatin g Hampden Av e., both east and west, as a two way or two di rec tional avenue permitting motor vehi c l e tr a ffic to move or travel both east and west. The Department o f Fi nance has completed a cursory examination of the p e titions. Of the 640 signatures, 55 were ruled invalid in most cases due to the fact th at the individuals signing did not live within he city of Englewood. Over half of the inval i d signatures were fo und on one pet ition, the remainder being inter- mitt ently scattered amQn g the other ten petitions. Wit h ou t verifying each signature upon the petition, it appears that the 505 signatures necess ary for v alid initiative petit ions as required under Section 4 6 of the City Charter have been ob ai n ed . The petitions also met the fi ling requirement of 60 days prior to the election. As provided under S ection 4 6 of he City Charter , the council has the option of passing the proposed o rdinance without alterations within thirty days or submitting the ordin ance to a vo e of the el ctors at the November 4, 1969 Gen0ral Muni c ipal Electjon. ~L~~ Stephen A.

Present: Mr . William Hanson Mr. Harry Fleenor Mr. Stephen A. Lyon, Chairman The following actions and discussions took place: 1 . A legal ca lendar of e lection events was adopted. 2. An administrative calendar of election events was 3 . Approved a recommendation to City Council that salaries of judges of election be raised from $20 per day to $25 per day and that the fee to a judge for return of election supplies be raised from $2.00 to $2.50. The recommended fees would make the City comparable with those election fees paid by Arapahoe County. The additional cost will be approximately $288 .00. 4. The Election Commission discussed the placement of a Charter amendment on the ballot removing the restriction that only taxpaying, registered electors would be allowed to vote on a general obligation bond issue. Mr. Lyon called the commission's attention to certain wording contained within the present City Charter provision and the amendment provision which would be submitted to the vote wherein it appeared that the amortization schedule would be required to be stated in the question submitted to the voter. Mr. Lyon stated that if this interpretation is correct, it would be n ecessary to conduct the storm sewer election with paper ballots rather than the voting machines and thus incur approxi- mately $600.00 additional cost. The Election commission instructed the Chairman to research the question with the City Attorney and if the pro- vision is so worded as to cause paper ballots rather than voting machines to be used, to recommend that a further Charter amendment b e prepared elimin ating the provision in question. 5 . Th e Election Commission discussed the initiative petitions received on September 3, 1969 calling for the City Council to either institute left turns at Bannock and U.S. 285 for north bound traffic on Bannock or cause Hampden to be two wa y b y ordinance or by calling a special election. Mr. Lyon stated that the City Council had until October 4, 1969 to place the special question on the ballot. 6. The Election Commission reviewed the details of accomplishing the election and working with Arapahoe County. The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 P .M. I • ·' \ I ' r .,. - • • RECOMMENDATION TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL DATE: September 10, 1969 SUBJECT: Municipal Election Judges' Salaries RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Election Commission that the City Council pass an ordinance increasing the salaries of judges of election from $20 per day to $25 per day and the fee paid to the judge responsible for returning the election supplies from $2.00 to $2.50. DISCUSSION: This recommendation has a threefold purpose: A. To assist in obtaining election judges . B. To improve judge-City relationships. c. To place the City of Englewood election fees on the same level as Arapahoe County. The cost of this recommendation will be approxi- mately $288 in 1969. ENGLEWOOD ELECTION COMMISSION I • • . , .• \ ! ' , ! - • • RECOMMENDATION TO THE ENGLE WOOD CITY COUNCIL DATE: S e ptember 10, 1969 SUBJECT: City Charter Amendment to Section 104 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that a special question be submitted to the voters at the November 4, 1969 Municipal Election causing Section 104 of the City Charter to be am e nd ed in such a way that maturity dates and terms of general obligation bonds will no longer be required to be published as a part of the bond question. DI SCUSSI ON : Section 104 of the City Charter presently states: Maturity dates and terms of the bonds, other than water bonds, shall be as provided in the proposition submitted to the taxpaying electors. Water bonds shall mature and be payable as provided by the ordinance authorizing the issuance of said bonds. This provision requires that the bond amortiza- tion schedule be known and designed prior to the submission of the question on the general obli- gation bonds to the electors. From the standpoint of conducting an election based upon an opinion from Mr. Bill Lamm, which is attached, this provision of Section 104 re- quires that the bond proposition itself must i nclud e the entire amortization schedule. Such a requirement will effectively cause paper ballots to be required rather than voting machines. A paper ballot e l ection for all Englewood precincts would cost at least $600 more than an election in which voting machines are used. For this reason the Election Commission recommends the above City Charter amendment. From a financial administration standpoint, also, this fea ture is undesirable. ENGLE WOOD ELECTION COMMISSION .

The De partment o f Finance has completed a c ursory examination of the petitions. Of the 640 s ignatures, 55 were ruled invalid in most ca s es due to the fact that the individuals signing did not live wi thin the City of Englewood.
