Recognition of Scheduled Public Comment (a) Mayor Wolosyn said we have the Chamber of Commerce Executive Director John Brackney and Director of Economic Development Bart Sayyah present to provide a briefing on the Chamber's Economic Development Group . Welcome gentlemen . Bart Sayyah said thank you . Thank you for having us this evening . it has been too long since we 've been here . We will make sure that this is a more frequent visit to bring you up to speed on all of the wonderful things we 're doing at the Economic Development Group and the South Metro Chamber. I wanted to first thank ... and i know that they're not here tonight. .. but both Bob Simpson and Darren Hollingsworth . I believe that both of them have represented the City extremely well in our Economic Development Group . We do meet monthly . We have 100 members in our group . They certainly represent all of the wonderful things that are happening in the City of Englewood to the Economic Development Group, and I can assure you that that word is conveyed out , many times over, throughout the South Metro community . Just to bring you up to speed on where we 're currently a~ and what we're looking forward to doing . Currently , we have 100 members in our group, both public and private sector members . This past year we 've worked on a number of relocation and attraction efforts . I'll mention a few and be brief. Direct TV, you may have read about recently ... a company that has operated in Denver for a number of years , with about 300 employees, recently they have announced that they will expand their national coverage and hire 1000 new people in South Metro Denver. We worked closely on that deal with both Arapahoe County Commissioners and the State of Colorado to ensure that that expansion took place in South Metro Denver and we're pleased to say that it will take place . They are currently in the midst of ... not only hiring new people , but also taking over the former ICG building , which represents about a quarter million square feet of office space that formerly was sitting vacant. A lesser known company , this represents an attraction effort , is called PRC Corporation, which stand for Precision Response Corporation, out of Florida . They employ about 10 ,000 people nationwide and they have decided to make Denver their showcase facility for their national efforts and will be hiring about 600 people by the end of March . So we 're pleased to have them here . And then , just recently ... this has been going on for quite a while ... the merger between Boeing and Lockheed Martin . It's called United Launch Alliance . They will be putting their future headquarters here . The headquarters will be the company for all future unmanned launch vehicles or satellites into space. We 're not sure about the exact location , but they will be employing about 1000 plus people in our community, with an average salary of about $85 ,000 a job . These are literally rocket science jobs and we 're pleased that they are coming here . We w ill be traveling out January 12'h and 131h to do a third orientat ion . We went out twice last year to Boeing , in Hunt in gton Beach , Cal iforn ia, to provide an orientation to the Boe ing employees who need to take part in this joint venture . We will just mention this and we 'll hand this out later , but this is our former community guide . However , for this particular relocation, because of the sign ifica nce of it, we will be creating a thousand copies of a custom made relocation guide, highlighting the many communities in South Metro Denver. Of course , the City of Englewood will be featured prominently within that guide and we'll be bringing that out to our orientation in January to the Boeing employees . A few other items ... we recently rolled out a new forum . It is called the South Metro Denver Business Round Table and I am pleased to announce that Mayor Wolosyn was our inaugural guest speaker at that forum and she came out and informed the many Chamber members, and non-Chamber members, about the wonderful things happening in Englewood . In addition to that, we have a few initiatives that we 're looking forward to launching in 2007 . One in particular is our business climate assessment. I know that Englewood has done something similar recently , through Bob Simpson's department. We want to do it on a larger scale, but we felt it was important to be very in touch with the temperament of the business community , both for purposes of representing them and for purposes of conveying to them , that our group is in existence and if they are looking to expand or if they know of a company that's looking to relocate to South Metro Denver , we want them to use us as a clearing house . We're happy to represent them and to find both public and private sector partners to make that come to fruition . The other item that we're looking forward to launch in 2007 is what we call an Economic Rapid Response Team . So , a company calls us up and says hey, we 're kicking the tires in South Metro Denver , we want to hear more about it. We want to bring all of our private and public sector partners to that meeting to talk about real estate . and talk about potential incentives and talk about any other need that they may have , and we feel that we have the partners right now that can really present South Metro Denver in the b st light . The last item I'll mention is we 're also looking at launching a bus iness empowerment symposium . Englewood City Council December 18, 2006 Page 3 This would be a quarterly symposium . It's not for new companies or companies that are struggling to keep on the lights and open the doors, but existing companies ... companies that may have 20 or 30 employees and , because of their size, they don't necessarily have the in-house resources; the legal advice, the human resources advice . So, we want to bring our partners to the table and offer in a pro-bono fashion , that type of information to our existing businesses , so that we can turn on a light bulb and hopefully, if they have that epiphany, they 're in a position to grow their business and create more jobs, which is ultimately the object of an economic development group. We do have one person missing. Oh , I'm sorry . I'm being prompted here by my boss, to talk about a recent trip we took out to Kansas City and it was a very good trip . As a matter of fact , Bob Simpson and Darren Hollingsworth also joined us, to look at a redevelopment project that has been very successful out there . This was Kansas City , not Missouri, but Kansas City, Kansas and for anyone who has traveled 1-70 in route to St. Louis or other areas beyond that , Kansas City, Kansas historically has not been associated with economic development or any type of economy for that matter. And we went out there and saw an incredible development. We saw a development where, literally , the average income was the lowest in the state, where there were very few successful businesses and they were transformed overnight. They brought in the Nebraska Furniture Mart and White Wolf Lodging and a raceway and many other businesses that have generated astronomical revenues for that community and, overnight , the average income of the residents has increased exponentially. The bonds that were issued to make that development a reality are going to be paid off ten years ahead of schedule . And we're hoping to use that as a future seed, for discussions about what we can do creatively here. It's not that we're going to replicate what they did out there exactly, but the spirit of it, I think, is important. It is an important lesson, because if it really started with one individual who said I have a vision and I think we can replicate that here in South Metro Denver. We can say that we have a vision on what type of companies we want here, what type of future we want for our children and grandchildren and let's go out in a very intentional and strategic manner and pursue that vision . We were glad that Englewood could be represented , at that little trade mission , if you will , or development mission and we look forward to a continued partnership in the future . Thank you . Mayor Wolosyn said thank you for coming . John Brackney, President of the Chamber. said what an honor it is to be here tonight. I think you all probably know our historic roots together . We 've been partners for decades. Whether it was this facility we're involved in , or helping to promote light rail. .. whether it's the Broadway redevelopment .... our history goes back decades . And the admiration we have in particular for Gary Sears , if you don't mind a public compliment Gary, I assume you occasionally get a criticism . Your reputation as a historic City in Arapahoe County is legend . The controversies that befall a city is up and down ... it happens all of the time , but your skills sets and what you 've been able to do w ith Englewood , especially in the last few years, while under tremendous strain is very adm irable and apprec ia ted by lots of folks out there . Bart mentioned a lot about the Economic Development Group , s ince we 're solid partners , as you probably know , as you 're all Chamber members, as well . And so I thought that I'd at least touch on some of the Chamber activities . You may have been follow ing some of our activities . We've gone from a 12 person staff to a 19 person staff in the last two years . The Chamber is very, very healthy and strong and we stand in front of you as two of the 19 and hundreds and hundreds of volunteers , that look forward to your vision and how we can come in , in a supportive role . We don't want to lead, in this instance , we want to follow . And, fortunately , we 've had great partnerships over the years and the Mayor is actively participating . Your City staff has been very noble . Darren Hollingsworth represents you extremely well . And Bob Simpson and I go back to when I was a county commissioner . It sounds a little corny, but we really love Englewood and we truly want to serve . And so call on us whenever we can provide that resource . One of the new initiatives has been with some of your retailers . It has been our Small Bus iness Development Center. Have any of you been briefed on that? With your perm is sion , we 'll send an e-mail to you so you can keep in the loop . Our Small Business Development Center has been very , very active . We're responsible, in conjunction with Federal and State government , for covering all of Arapahoe County, and there was an ini tiative to try to drive more retail , as a destination within Englewood . And we brought in an expert associated with Arapahoe Community College . My understanding is it was vf!ry well received among the retailers and that is something that we hope is the first step of the beginn ing, not the end . Your economy affects the rest of Arapahoe County and the better you are , the better the rest of our folks are . Bart alluded to it.. .we 're hoping that some of those very high paid, very educated folks , choose to move in to Englewood, associated w ith United Launch Alliance . And it's our job to brag about you . And it's the ir Job once they locate here , in addition to a thousand jobs , many of them have spouses . So , there will be new start up bu in s . They may not be a thousand person space Englewood City Council December 18, 2006 Page4 company ... it may be a small 2 or 3 person engineer ing company and we want those folks to land in Englewood . And we want you to brag about them. And we want to connect in every single way we can . We're going to leave this brochure with you tonight that shows our history, our programs , our committees , our services and some of our most active members. We'd like to apprise you of some public policy issues that the Chamber is being involved in . From a business perspective , the single most important issue facing business in America today, is the unaffordability of health care . It 's not just the employee that's suffering . It's the employer that's suffering . And if you 've followed our progress a little bit. .. it was written up in COBIZ Magazine and some of the local papers ... we really believe that we must solve that issue nationwide . We are no longer being competitive worldwide . And individual citizens are suffering the ability to not be able to afford their own healthcare insurance and the employer similarly is not able to afford enough . We must solve that issue and we believe that you can partner with us to do someth ing really special com ing right here from South Metro Denver. If not us , who? We need to work on this issue . The second major initiative ... and we do have a representative of the Englewood Schools with us ... is kind of the Thomas Friedman world is flat philosophy . Are we be ing competit ive in th is new worldwide market place? And the answer is , maybe . The world is changing very rap idly and even non-descript buildings, as you may know, a warehouse kind of building , may have more employees in Eastern Europe or Indonesia than they do in South Metro Denver, but it's headquartered here in South Metro Denver. And how do we educate the youth of our society to be competitive , particularly in regards to science , technology , engineering, and mathematics? How do we partner with our school districts to put executives into the classroom or to put teachers into the business , to do something really meaningful for our kids and our youth to keep us competitive? We almost broach the patriot ic aspect that the world , as Friedman points out, may not be a bullet war next time, it may be a war of ideas and a war of innovativeness . And we need your full partnership , if anyone is interested . Finally , the third is a major new initiative in South Metro Denver, that's a little b it secret until right now, and that's on renewable energy pol icy . How are we heating our homes and how are we dr iving our cars and what can we do with new econom ies of scale , in particular ity in regards to a new gubernatorial admin istration? What can we do to be less rel iant on fore ign o il? I know th is sounds a little controvers ial for a suburban chamber of commerce to be involved in some of these issues . If they at all interest you , or you want to challenge us on our ideas , you 're welcome to partner, because these are really hot topics that staff and enormously strong volunteers , such as a fairly well known Englewood bus iness person , L. G . Chavez. the owner of Burt Automotive network . He is , which I believe they are all in Englewood not Littleton , is that correct? He is steering up this energy initiative for solar and hydrogen cars and how you can partner with somebody like L.G ., he will dearly apprec iate it. But finally , even in th is build ing , the Museum of Outdoor Arts asked for our assistance in promoting the ir reg ional tourism draw , although it is not in your City , they're located here , of course , but at the Coors Amphitheatre . And so , tha t's in the gu ide as well ... trying to get thousands of bus iness people rea li zing that they can have an outdoor party or fest ival during the hol idays . And if we support them in that, then I hope they will support you in the ir efforts here . Needless to say , there is a lot go ing on in the bu si nes s commun ity . There are doubts . There are concerns about the economy. And I don 't wa nt to necessa ri ly allay those fears . But , I w ill tell you that there a re hundreds and hundreds of very smart , ve ry e d ucated a nd in many ins ta nces , very w eal thy busi ne ss people , that are ro lli ng up the ir sle eves to get something done to improve our local cities and our economy and we ask for your greater partnership . We are here to serve you ... not the other way around . Thank you for your service . And with your permission , Bart or I will be happy to answer questions and we would like to give you some materials. Mayor Wolosyn said that we don't usually have a discussion at this time . Mr. Brackney replied of course . Mayor Wolosyn responded thank you and if you would leave those with the Clerk, she'll make sure that we get them . She said I really appreciate the update , plus the information on the policy issues . Mr . Brackney said thank you for your service . Mayor Wolosyn said thanks for coming and Happy Holidays . (b) Mayor Wolosyn said members of the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission are here to present the 2006 Holiday Lighting Awards . Our Councilperson, Bob Mccaslin , who is the liaison to the Commission . is going to introduce the Commission members and I will help him give out the awards . Council Member Mccaslin said I would like to tell you a little bit about KEB . KEB is a committee that does a lot of hard work . We are supposed to have 14 members , but this year we ended up with 7 . We are really respons ible for the household hazardous waste round-up , the leaf and tire round -up , the SK run and the Christmas l ighting ... so th is comm ittee does work hard and these cit izens are really ded icated to what they do and I am really impressed , as a Counc ilperson , to see these c itizens get involved the way they have. I would Englewood City Council December 18, 2006 Page5 like to bring them up and introduce them and they can stay up and help with the awards ceremony. Tom Rothe , Cynthia Adams , Theresa Sabrsula and Pamala Sampson . Also, on the committee , is a representative from Community Development and that's Audra Kirk . Audra will help me w ith the presentation . So, there are many beautiful, beautiful decorations . I mean, we had a map and we went out last Tuesday and there were 16 entries from all over Englewood . Probab ly one of the best turnouts that we have had in many years . We were trying to be real objective on this . And we had a little form we filled out and there 's a lot of th ings we took into account and we had a great time. It was just great. So , I'll hand it over to Audra . Planning Technician Kirk said the winners that are receiving awards , if you want to wait in the back, you can sign up and take a big sign home and put it in your yard . Council Member Mccaslin presented ribbons and certificates to all of the winners who were present and they were given a round of applause.

Consent Agenda (a) Approval of Ordinances on First Reading There were no additional items submitted for approval on first reading . (See Agenda Item 11.) COUNCIL MEMBER WOODWARD MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 9 (b) (i). (b) Approval of Ordinances on Second Reading (i) ORDINANCE NO . 48, SERIES OF 2006 (COUNCIL BILL NO . 50, INTRODUCED BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOODWARD) AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AMENDING THE EXISTING CONCESSIONAIRE CONTRACT BETWEEN CADDIE SHACK, LLC . AND THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD FOR THE PERIOD OF OCTOBER 4, 2006 THROUGH DECEMBER 31 , 2007 . Vote results: Motion carried . Ayes: Council Members Barrentine , Mccaslin, Moore , Wolosyn, Woodward, Tomasso , Oakley Nays : None (c) Resolutions and Motions There were no additional resolutions or motions submitted for approval. (See Agenda Item 11 .) 10 . Public Hearing Items No public hearing was scheduled before Counc il. 11 . Ordinances, Resolution and Motions (a) App roval of Ordinances on Firs t Reading (i) Senior Planner Langon presented a recommendation from the Community Development Department to adopt a bill for an ordinance approving the Emergency Temporary Shelters amendment to Title 16, Chapter 5 of the Englewood Municipal Code 2000 and a request that Council schedule a Public Hearing on January 8 , 2007 for comment on this amendment. Ms . Langon said the purpose of the amendment to the Title 16 zoning ordinance is to clarify terms and requirements for this use, to establish a review process and to provide regulations that would meet zoning and safety concerns . These amendments are based on the January and October 2006 Study Sessions with Council. Again , the request is to set a public hearing for January 8 , 2007 . Mayor Wolosyn asked if there were any questions for Tricia . Council Member Woodward said yes , I have a couple questions and a couple comments . On page two here ... and I noticed this when reading the minutes from the P & Z public hearing and I wanted to address it . It says here in that third paragraph down , following a citizen complaint. .. and I am not aware of a citizen complaint. I don 't recall any citizen 's complaints . I recall that I had worked with Gary and the City Manager's office and taking a look at it with Ben Greene , but unless you are aware of a citizen complaint. .. Ms . Langon replied that it is my understanding that there was a complaint from a neighbor , about the activity . I can check that out. Council Member Woodward said I don 't know if that we nt to Chr is or wha t. Also . there were some questions in Englewood City Council December 18, 2006 Page 7 the public hearing about illegal aliens . In talking to the people over at that particular church, they had two foreigners the whole time and , of course , they didn 't know whether they were illegal aliens . I mean how do you ask are you an illegal al ien? So , I noticed that that was a big issue within the P & Z , specifically with one of the members . And the other item I wanted to ask you about was on the table 16-5-1.1, on the second page here , that very f irst item you mention food shelters typically function as an accessory use . I'm not clea r on whe re we address that then , since we 've deleted it out of the information here . Where do we call out tha t that food bank or accessory use is acceptable for a food bank? Ms . Langon responded that up until the UDC went into effect in 2004, we had neither food banks nor temporary shelters listed . And when we did the UDC , we put both of those together after taking a look at this one particular situation last year , and also realizing that food banks really are a small function of, generally , a church or some other organization and are not a primary pr inc iple use . And they are also extremely difficult to track and find out what 's going on . It's usually ... there are several churches that I know of that operate food banks only at holiday times or very limited situations . And we felt that it was a difficult thing to try to regulate . So, as of right now, it's not really in any format , in the Code . Council Member Tomasso inquired if it should say food bank instead of food shelter? It says eliminate food shelter as a typical use and it should be food bank then? Ms . Langon said not under this category. Not as a food bank . We're not going to be regulating food banks . Council Member Tomasso asked if food shelters are different from food banks? Ms . Langon replied that I am not really sure, to be honest. Council Member Woodward said when I go to page 17 , and I see other accessory uses and I see things like satellite dish antenna , parking area surface , home occupation dormitory ... I am just wonder ing if a food bank ought to be something that is added into that area or if it is necessary and that's a question that I don't know the answer to . Mayor Wolosyn asked if we could have those points clarified by the next meeting in January, at the public hearing . Ms . Langon said we can do that. We'll work with Mr . Brotzman as to in what order we do that. Will we be able to go forward for public hearing on that night? Okay. Council Member Woodward said I would think so . All I want is just clarification , because all of a sudden we are elim inating something that I don't see as being replaced anywhere , in there . Ms . Langon said then just for clarification for me , then you would like to see food bank under other accessory uses ? Council Member Woodward responded that is the question for you , if that is where it should go ... I mean it says accessory uses is typically functions as an accessory use , and since we have line items for accessory uses , I would assume that maybe it goes in there . City Attorney Brotzman said that in all honesty , if yo u look at page 19 , the very last issue is uses not mentioned . We'll get you an explanation on that, but that is probably where it's going to fit. Council Member Woodward said okay , okay. Mayor Wolosyn asked if there was anyth ing else? Council Member Barrent ine said I would agree with Tricia . The reason this came about was because this church , out of the goo dn ess of the ir hearts , started tak ing the overflow from the Denver Miss ion . There were compl ai nts from the commun ity. It was an issue of the safety and health of these people being put into a si tu ati on where there we re not adequate serv ices ... to be a shelter . They were never intended fo r a shelter . And I think som e of the o ri g inal con cerns came f rom ou r own pol ice and fi re department , becau se the y wer e not under regulations , in order to house these people, in the manner that they were . And while I appreciate their kindness and what they were trying to accomplish, it did bring up some serious issues for that community, and nor was that building ever intended for that and so I know that is what we're trying to address and I appreciate your attempt to do that, and we'll see what the community thinks at the public hearing . Thanks . Council Member Woodward said that I just want to say I respectfully disagree . The p ol ice were bringing people to that facility and they were appreciative that it was ope n. And it wa s th e Ci ty Manager's office an d our Fi re Marshall and the church, together, taking a look at it. So that's , I think, where that came from . There may have been complaints that you , at District 3 where this is located, may have heard . I d idn't hear any. Mayor Wolosyn said I think it is important to remember that we are making an objective law that covers zoning . It's not about one institution . Certain issues, last winter, brought this to our attention , but I don't think we should make law about one issue. I look forward to hearing the clarification of your points . Council Member Barrentine said I agree with Olga . I think the intent of this is to make sure that we never put people in this situation where they are not safe or it is not healthy, regardless of the intentions . Englewood City Council December 18, 2006 Page8 Council Member Woodward said I have no question about that. I just wanted to make sure that the corrections from Planning and Zoning we re what was said there ... what was stated there ... and what was here , was correct. Mayor Wolosyn said that if there aren 't any other questions for Tricia , I'd like to ask for a motion . COUNCIL MEMBER WOODWARD MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 11 (a) (I)· COUNCIL BILL NO. 52 AND TO SET A PUBLIC HEARING ON JANUARY 8, 2007 . COUNCIL BILL NO . 52 , INTRODUCED BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOODWARD A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 16, CHAPTER 5, TABLE 1.1 (C), AND SECTION 6 , OF THE ENGLEWOOD MUNICIPAL CODE 2000 , PERTAINING TO EMERGENCY TEMPORARY SHELTERS . Vote results: Mot ion carried . Ayes : Council Members Barrentine, Mccaslin, Moore , Wolosyn , Woodward, Tomasso , Oakley Nays : None Ms . Langon said thank you . Mayor Wolosyn said thank you Tricia and thanks for look ing into those th ings . (ii) Housing Finance Specialist Grimmett presen ted a recommendation from the Commun ity Development Department to adop t a bill fo r an ordinance authorizi ng t he sale of a single fam il y residence at 2360 South Zuni Street. She sa id the house is cu rre ntly under const ruction , by ou r Student Bu ild Program, the ACTS program, and is scheduled to be completed probably in May. Typically , in past years , I've requested Council to approve th is sale closer to the complet ion, Apr il or May of the year. Bu t th is year it j ust seemed a little bit easier to do it at this part icular t ime , wh il e it is still under construction ... advert ise it for sale . This w ill allow any potential buyer to be able to come in and choose colors , carpet ing , appliances , that type of thing , so they can personalize it and make it more their home . So , we 're just requesting that that be approved so that we can list it with a realtor that we 've currently gone in to con tract w ith , w ith our othe r properti es that we have taken under foreclosure and this will j ust be part of that packa ge that w ill be li sted for sa le . And it w ill then go into the multi list and hopefully we 'll have a buye r by the ti me the projec t is fi n ished in May. Mayo r Wolosyn asked if there were any d iscussi o n or questions for Janet? Co uncil Member Woodward said I just had a comment that I think this is a great idea and it gives people opportunities, as you've said in here, to select colors and stuff like that and I commend you for doing this early . And I think that will make a difference in the time that it will be listed and sold . Mayor Wolosyn said I second that. C OUNCIL MEMBER WOODWARD MOVED, AN D IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 11 (a) (ii) • COUNCIL BILL NO . 53 . COU NCIL BILL NO . 53 , INTRODUCED BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOODWARD A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 2360 SOUTH ZUNI STREET PURSUANT TO THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD AND ARAPAHOE COMMUNITY COLLEGE/AREA CAREER AND TECHNICAL SCHOOL. Vote resu lt s: Mot ion carried .

Approval of Ordinances on Second Reading There were no additional items submitted for approval on second reading . (See Agenda Item 9 -Consent Agenda .) (c) Resolutions and Motions (i) Director Gryglewicz presented a recommendation from the Department of Finance and Administrative Services to approve a resolution for a Supplemental Appropriation to the 2006 Budget in the amount of $650,000 for the Englewood Golf Course redevelopment project. He said this is a supplemental appropriation of the 2006 Budget for the public improvement fund . And as you know, the funds carry over until the project is either completed or abandoned . And this is for $650,000, related to oversight of the golf course operations and redevelopment, and that project will most likely take 18 plus months.

One, on your comments tonight , from the Chamber, on renewable energy, and another ... Keep Englewood Beautiful Commissioners were here and part of their stated mission is to look into ways to make Englewood more efficient. And I did notice under the list of things that communities agreed to address , the actions which may be included, you're not limited to or have to do all of them , are some that KEB is already doing . They already are meeting with RTD . They're meeting with DRCOG to discuss RideArrangers . They're working hard to partner with organizations in the community to increase awareness of the importance of energy efficiencies .

Recognition of Scheduled Public Comment (a) Mayor Wolosyn said we have Chief John Patterson, from the Cherry Hills Village Police Department, here to present the Professional Standards Compliance Award to the Englewood Police Division on behalf of the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police . Director Olson said again , this is something that we have discussed with you in the past. .. our professional standards compliance award that is being issued by the Chiefs of Police Association and I've asked Chief John Patterson, who is the Police Chief for Cherry Hills Village and the past president of the Chiefs of Police Association to be here to present this to us . And as you know, we did have those evaluators down here a few months ago , plus Chief Lowell Patterson from Estes Park to come on down here to explain the process . So without further ado, I would like to introduce Chief John Patterson, to present us with the award. Chief Patterson said Chris thank you . I am the Police Chief in Cherry Hills Village . Tonight I am here before you on behalf of the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police . My purpose is to present your Safety Services Director Chris Olson with a certificate from both the State Chiefs and the County Sheriffs Association, which awards accreditation status to the Englewood Police Department. If you were to ask Director Olson about his Police Department, he would tell you the City of Englewood has one of the best agencies in the state . You would expect nothing less from him . Based upon this award, Police Chiefs and Sheriffs from, frankly, around the nation , would agree with him . There are 232 law enforcement agencies in the State of Colorado . Only 35 of these agencies have achieved accreditation status . It is not an easy process and it involves a lot of work and commitment by the entire department. In order to become an accredited law enforcement agency, the Englewood Police Department had to meet some 160 established professional standards . Compliance with these standards was verified by an on-site assessment team, which consisted of two law enforcement officials from outside jurisdictions . Your Police Department met or exceeded all of the established standards . You can be very proud of your Police Department and its employees . They are committed to provid ing quality law enforcement services to the City of Englewood . On behalf of the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police and the County Sheriffs of Colorado , it is my pleasure to present the Englewood Police Department and Director Olson w ith an accreditation certificate . Congratulations Chris . There was applause . Director Olson said Chief Patterson , thank you very much . I look at our plaque right here and because I am the current President of the Association, my signature is also at the bottom, so it kind of doubles the validation . I also want to thank , obviously , all of our employees in the organization ; many of the past employees and the current employees that are here with us right now . They all assisted in the process of getting this award and getting us through the entire , kind of a long term issue , in all of the different events and so forth that we had to pass . inclu ding ju st making our facil ity nice and clean when the assessors showed up . So , we are very pleased with this and it will go in an honored place and again this is the first time that this organ iz ation has ach ieved this award and we hope to continue on with this with renewals ove r the next several years . So again Chief Patterson , thank you so much for being here . Council , thank you very much . Council Member Barrentine said you all deserve a round of applause . Thank you for all of your work . There was a round of applause . Mayor Wolosyn said thank you for coming Chief Patterson and thanks to our department for coming . 7 . Recogn ition of Unscheduled Public Comment (a) Josh Lanzetta had signed up to speak and spoke from the audience that they were going to try to handle it outside of Council and come back if necessary . Member Barrentine clarified that Director Olson is going to speak with Mr. Lanzetta .

I tried to park in the circle drive , but there was no parking ... but it is beautiful. The lighting is absolutely gorgeous . I commend you on that. I w ill ( Englewood City Council December 4, 2006 Page 3 m iss you all. Thanks for everyth ing . And to all of my bloc k leaders , voluntar ily or not so voluntary , thank you for that too . Anyway , it has been good and thank you .

He said on Saturday I had the opportunity to stop in at two new businesses on Broadway; the fram ing shop at the old Ouray sports building and then the ink cartridge locat ion next door. One of the comments was that they were a new business to Englewood and they had jo ined that breakfast discussion on marketing that was put together early on and they 've met twice now and they had such a good time in talking with one another and discussing marketing processes, that they have decided to continue this on a monthly bas is and they are going to meet again in January . As a new business owner , he felt really positive about things that were happen ing . It looks like we have four different business organizations that are meeting together and talking and there 's a lot of inter-reaction between the four groups . It looks like the business community is replly moving forward as a unified community ... and as individuals . 2 . He said I would like to thank City staff for all of the hard work that they put in on Saturday night. Council Member Woodward : 1. did attend Englewood Shines and I also want to thank C ity staff for the work that was put into tha t. It w s , lly a nice event.

Member Woodward replied that I would propose yes on that , so in the heading , where it says applying to City Council , we should be adding "Board and Commission members and all City employees ."

Make sure all of your party is properly acclimated before going higher. • Stay properly hydrated. Acclimatization is often accompanied by fluid loss, so you need to drink plenty of fluids to remain properly hydrated ( at least 3-4 quarts per day). • Eat a high carbohydrate diet (more than 701' of your calories from carbohydrates) while at altitude. • The acclimatization procas is inhibited by dehydration, over~. alcohol and other deprwssant drugs . 0 Comtorta/Jk and~. 6(Jon1, not l.duaf"t 49.fOOltdui Wltlt m~r/Jht9.

At sea level, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, but as air pressure drops, water boils at lower temperatures . In metro Denver, water boils at 202 degrees . This means that food cooks at lower temperatures and the cooking times will be longer. Lower air pressure also causes baked goods to rise faster; therefore, less leavening is needed. Water evaporates much more quickly at high altitude than at sea level. A quick reference guide for standard adjustments : • Foods cooked by boiling take more time to reach cooking temperature • When baking , reduce each teaspoon of baking powder by 1/4; decrease each cup of sugar by 2-3 tablespoons; increase by 3-4 tablespoons each cup of liquid . • Oven temperature should be increased by 2S degrees Fahrenheit; reduce by 2S degrees Fahrenheit when using glass containers; slightly increase a11 cooking times, and for best results at higher altitudes, use smaller pans, grease and flour or use parchment paper, especially for cakes.

Retain Emergency Temporary Shelters as uses in the MU-B-2 and MU-R-3-A zone districts, 2. Provide review criteria, and 3. Address health and safety issues. PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendments on November 2 1, 2006. No members of the public spoke at the hearing. The Commission, by a vote of 4 to 1, recommended approval of the proposed am <c ·'ments to City Council. RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff r equ es ts City C ouncil approve on first reading proposed Emergen cy Temporary Shelters amendmen ts to 16-5: Use Regulations of the Englewood Municipal Code. Staff also r equests th at Coun ci l sc h edul e a publ ic hearing on Ja n uary 8, 200 7, to take publi c c omment o n th e propose d amendments. BAC KG ROU ND Prior to the adoption of the UDC the Englewood M u nicipal Code did not address emergency shelters as a use within any zone district in the City. The fo ll owing defini t ion was added to Ti tl e 16 in 2004: Emergency Temporary Shelter : A str ucture or portion of a structure p roviding temporary housing for pe rsons in need of shel ter due to limited fi nancia l resources (including people who are homeless), weather-related emergencies, or other em rgencies . Occupancy is permitted on a twenty-four (24) hour basis. Accessory services that also may be provided at the facility include food, counseling, transportation services, and services to support the personal care of the residents of the facility including medical care, dental care, and hygiene. The UDC allowed Emergency Temporary Shelters in the MU-R-3-A and MU-B-2 zone districts as a Conditional Use if approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission at a public hearing. In December 2005, a church located within one of the City's R-2 -B (medium density residential) zone districts used basement rooms to shelter people when the temperature dropped below 1 5 degrees. At this particular church clients were bused from the Denver Rescue Mission when the Mission reached capacity and then were given a bus pass when they left the church the next morning. Following a citizen complaint, Community Development investigated and determined the use was not permitted in the zone District. Health and safety violations were also noted by Building and Safety Division; the facility lacked safety devices in the basement including ladders to egress windows, emergency lighting, and a sprinkler system as well as adequate restrooms and showers . Because of the frigid weather conditions at the time, the church was given 30 days to operate the shelter provided smoke detectors were installed in the basement. The church briefly operated the shelter, but chose not to continue due to the cost of installing required safety requirements to meet minimum Fire Code and Building Code standards. ORDINANCE OVERVIEW The proposed amendments are i ntended to clari fy existing regulations and ensure that, if an emergency shelter is needed in the community, it will operate in a safe manner. The proposed Emergency Temporary Shelter amendments occur in two sections of Chapter 5 : Use Regulations; first as modifications of Table 16-5-1.1 Table of Allowed Use s and second, the establishment of review criteria in Section 16-5-6: Limited Use. The proposed amendments are dis c ussed below. Table 16-5 -1 .1 Table of Allowed U ses • Elimin ate Food Shelter as a U se Typ e. Food shelters and housing sh elters are vastl y diffe ren t in th eir o peration and impac ts and should not be c ombined under th e sam e use type. Food shelters typica ll y f unction as an accessory use. • Change C (Conditional Use) to L (Limited Use) under the MU-R-3-A and MU-B-2 zones . A Conditional Use permit requires publication in the official City newspaper, 1 5 day property posting, and a public hearing. By the time these requirements are met, the need for the emergency shelter could have ceased . A Limited Use allows administrative review of the criteria in 16-5-6 :01 and can be accomplished in a timely manner based on the emergency need. • Add reference to 16-5-6:D.1 under Additional Requireme nts: Th is p rovides direction to applicable regulations and requirements. Section 16-5-6 : Limited Uses • TI1is new Section establishes Limited Use criteria in the UDC with Subsection 0 .1 pertaining p ifi ca ll y to Emergency Temporary Shelters . Criteria for other Limited Uses c an be added to the Section as they are developed. The criteria provide standard measures for the administrative review of a Limited Use. • D .1 a: Establishes that an Emergency Temporary Shelter may operate only within public/institutional buildings such as churches, schools or government buildings. • D.1 .b: Requires that Building and Fire safety measures are met before a Limited Use permit can be obtained. • D.1 .c : Establishes a definition of "temporary" by setting a maximum five (5) consecutive days timeframe per Limited Use permit, with of maximum of six (6) permits per calendar year. • D.1 .d : Establishes additional criteria if a shelter attempts to operate more than thirty (30) days per calendar year. • D.1.e : Provides the City Manager discretion to allow a shelter to operate based on the nature of the emergency. • D.1.f: Provides City Manager discretion to impose other regulations as necessary. FINANCIAL IMPACT There is no direct cost associated with this Ordinance. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS Staff Report Planning and Zoning Commission Findings of Fact Bill for Ordinance C .
