community service for an agency. This year, the Englewood Parks and Recreation staff nominated a very deserving
young group of gentlemen for this award . The Awards Committee reviewed that application and they were found,
not only to have met all the criteria, but to have exceeded most of it. So, it is my pleasure tonight to award the
Colorado Parks and Recreation Association Community Award to Cub Scout Pack # 172. There was applause. She
said we have certificates of merit , and free admission to Pirates Cove, for each one of these young men and their
leaders.
Each young man came forward and Ms. Armstrong and Cub Scout Leader Tim Sullivan handed out the certificates.
Ms. Armstrong said, again, young men, congratulations. You have given a service to your City and your community
and we truly, truly appreciate it. There was applause.
Ms. Armstrong said the Englewood Parks and Recreation staff wishes for you to have a copy of the framed
certificate to be displayed wherever you have your meetings. Thank you very much, she said. She presented the
framed certificate to Mr. Sullivan. There was applause.
Mr. Sullivan said I would like to thank you and especially your staff, because without the Englewood City Council
providing us the opportunities to serve the community, we wouldn't have anybody to serve. l would really like to
thank Gary Sears and his staff, Jerrell Black who has provided us numerous opportunities, Chris Olson with all the
Neighborhood Watch stuff that we participate in, Ken Ross has provided places for them to store their pinewood
derby track and we are very grateful to Council and we look forward to helping out our community in the future . As
in the past, we always say thank you by giving you a pack yell . They gave the pack yell . There was applause.
Council Member Bradshaw thanked Mr. Sullivan .
•••••
Mayor Garrett said l just want to note that during the Scheduled and Unscheduled Visitor part of the meeting,
Council listens, we do not really get into a dialogue.
(b) Tavis Hanna, 4420 South Elati Street, said first, thank you for letting me speak tonight.
appreciate the opportunity to share my opinion and my suggestions. I moved to Englewood a little over a year and a
half ago. One of the main drawing factors was ... just the neighborhood as a whole, the number of parks you have in
those neighborhoods and the specific facilities and services you offer in those parks. The main issue l wanted to
address tonight was the dog off-leash privileges that we enjoy here in Englewood. When I moved here, I think it
must have been almost a year ... that l would go to that park, walk there with my dogs, take them off-leash and they
would do a couple o f laps around the park. They would do their business, get their energy out and we never played
with another dog in that year. Nev,cr! You would see people here and there, but they weren't there to gather and
play so m uc h. The day Bates Logan Park closed for the off-leash privilege, there were thirty plus dogs there ... for
hours. And since that happened last fall, the numbers have been dropping s teadily. I believe part of it is the fact that
Denver has opened their four or five off-leash parks and there are far fewer people going there now. On an average
week ni ght, I see, at one time, probably anywhere from eight to twelve dogs at a time. Some of them are playing in
one a rea and a couple of the m are us ually farther away playing fetch, so the use is somewhat spread out. l just feel
that ccnsidering the fact that that usage is consistently and steadily dropping, the concept of closing this park to off-
leash rea ll y doesn't address the cause of thi s symptom. And that is ... number of facilities per capita. We have X
amount of dogs and mos tl y dog owners in Englewood . They have j ust as much right to enjoy their recreational
needs as a nyone else does . If they do it off-leash, it helps the dogs because they become more social. so you have
safer d ogs in your neighborhood. They do get their energy out faster . I know people who go to the park and throw a
ball for their dog for two ho ur s and the dogs sti ll won't stop. There are dog breeds that can run 35 miles per hour
plus. I can't jog like tha t . I really just d o n 't see how it i a solutio n, a pro-active permanent solution, that applies to
everyone unilaterally, just like the impacts of the drought and our economy effect everyone unilaterally and how
everyone' impact o n the park effects the park unilaterally ... soccer, baseball, people with clop, children at the park.
To be a ble to look a t a iluation like thi and think , well we have these new SUCSSC$ comin& on our community, the
soluuon is si mple ... lct ' take the new g uy on the totem pole and bump him off. We are not aoina to ao away. We
arc not moving out of Englewood. We are till going to go 10 the park. We are 11 ill aoin& to walk our dogs . It will
be on lc:l!>h . but the impact w n't change. The other a.peel and facet 10 the impact i ... per capita aaain. You

decreased the number of off.leash facilities we've had and it's concentrated that impact in one spot. I really,
honestly , believe that a large complclt like what I have heard in the works ... one main place where all dog owners
can go , is a great idea. I am not going to say no, we shouldn't do it. However, I don't think it replaces what we
have by being able to have cells within in our neighborhood, within walking distance of our homes. When I come
home on a week night, I spend eleven hours in school. I don't always have time to drive across the neighborhood to
go somewhere. 1. only live five blocks from the Jason Park . And, I don't see how filting the population of use in one
specific area again is going to solve the problem . It may be a bigger facility, but we arc still going to have a mud pit
once all the Englewood dogs go there. So diversifying your recreational needs, is the only way that you can truly
limit the amount of impact you have per location. One of the suggestions I have had for that, for quite some time, is
having parks off-leash after dark so it doesn't interfere with other people, other patrons, especially children, because
there has been a lot of concerns about safety with that. The other is portable fences. This is a fence that can be set
up . It is permanently standing. in the sense that you don't have to take it down and erect it, but it is on skids. When
the park is mowed, they tow it to a new spot and just pull it out a little bit so it is standing. It is the size of a regular
dog run enclosure and they mow that area. The next week they move it again, the next week they move it again .
You have had offers on the table since last fall, from people who arc willing to put together the money to build these
and donate them . It doesn't have to come out of the City's pocket. I haven 't seen any decision on that issue and it
has been a half a year since those kinds of suggestions were posted . I suppose the other issues to address, that arc
more specific. are the fact that one of the main things I noticed when all those people started coming to Jason Park
was that the drug deals, that would go on morning. noon and night. stopped. They arc gone . I haven't seen them
since. Dogs may seem like a risk to kids, but in this case, I think they arc providing a safety net for them .
Additionally. every night I go there, at least one or two parents, bring their toddlers, probably two to three years old,
from the playground over to see the dogs. This is not just socialization for neighbors with neighbors or dogs with
dogs. it is people looking at this as a resource to help their children acclimate to a diverse society. These are dogs,
son. This is how you treat them. This is how you interact with them . This is how you can be safe, but still be
progressive. You have to learn to be able lo be a self sufficient person once you grow up. It seems like we serve
just as much of a purpose to the other people who arc there, as an inconvenience . Additionally the drought. . .I'm a
soccer coach for Denver Soccer Club and we play on a field that is fenced at night. Dogs arc absolutely not allowed
up there. Those fields are probably three times worse than ours, hands down . I mean, they don't even have the use
that we have here. I would have to say that I think Denver is metering their water more than we arc, but I still don't
think that just the impact of the dog. alone is pushing this issue over its breaking point. Again, the drought affects
us all unilaterally. To look ,at this as an issue of who is the new guy, who can we bump off of this, doesn't make
sense . To look it as an issue of what we have ... soccer players, baseball players, dogs, children ... how many parks
do we have? There are so many parks in Englewood, I can't even count them. Plenty of them have space for a
hundred by hundred dog enclosure that is portable. Having the stuff go on after dark, helps reduce the risk to other
people as well . I think the other is sues, for me, that seems kind of strange, is the fact that here wc arc talking about
not having enough money to do this . We have had offers. You know there was a woman I met last fall, at one of
these meetings. She was in opposition to keeping the Bates Logan Park off-leash. However, she saw it as a specific
issue and she addressed all the issues specifically, not as a "let 's treat the sym ptoms and sweep them under the
carpet." She and her husband, who is a contractor, offered to donate time and labor if a volunteer organizat.ion was
willing to put up the money to build these fences . I haven 't seen anything come of that. It is a great offer. It is a
permanent solution . Weighing that kind of situation with, here we have a drought. .. herc we have money . We have
had soluti ons and offers on the table for half a year and we just opened a multimillion dollar water park? It starts to
look kind of discriminatory . Like we can focus on this portion of the population, because they arc children, because
they are adults. and because they are people . This isn't about dog traffic . This is about Englewood resident use .
My feel put just as much impact on that ground as my dogs . And the fact that I pay just as many taxes as anyone
else, tell s me that I have a right 10 be able to enjoy the recreational needs that I have in my community. I am not
asking for anything extravagant, like a hang glider port . I am just asking for a few enclosures spaced around the
City so that we don 't have people coming from five miles away. within Englewood, to one parli:. It just seems to me
that it is such common sense to put together a solution, a proactive solution that continues the progressive concepts
that were put in place when Englewood was one of the first cities in the Denver metro area to start its off-leash
program . It seems ironic that now that the symptoms of our over population problem with Bates Lopn, which have
shifted 10 Jason from the Denver iss ue, when they didn't have their own off-leash parks ... itjust seems very ironic
that now that they arc getting their programs up and going and wc arc seeing the usage here and the impact here
dro p, that now we are looking at this as an ultimatum type deal again . So, it is either wc keep it in the off-leash
program or we take it off. Yo u' vc had so many suggestions and proposals put to you and none of them have bem
accepted . It doesn't make sense that yo u would take a si tuation. basically. tinker with a workina y11em that you

already ha •,c in place and put it to a principle of take it or leave it. close it or keep it open. Somebody within this
panel probably brought up this idea a few years ago . The rest of the people on this panel probably thought, let's
give it a try . And now that we arc in it, we arc going. the thing is working and we arc having to make adjustments
here and there . It just seems counterproductive that every time we hit a hiccup along the way, we look at it as ... do
we shut it down or keep it going? Do wc throw out the things we have accomplished or do wc listen to what the
people have to say about safety. noise pollution, water pollution . Take those things into consideration and make
some tweaks to what we have done and move forward . I'm telling you. wc arc not going to go away. We live in
Englewood. I am not selling my house . I am not getting rid of my dogs and I am still going to use the park . The
traffic won't stop, money is tight for everybody. drought is hitting everybody, and everybody here has their right to
their opinion. Everybody here has even their own solutions and suggestions that they would like to sec
implemented. If we meet in two weeks, arc we going to have a progressive solution to this or is it going to an
ultimatum, yes or no? All of us on both sides of this issue have been waiting for a solution. And to look at this as
an issue of. there arc all these people surrounding this issue and let's pick which group we want to stand by, you are
still our represented clcctivcs ... if you decide against us . I urge you to make a decision that benefits all of
us ... unilaterally . It just makes more sense in the long run . How many times arc you going to have meetings
addressing this same i sue over the next year? Arc wc just going to keep corning here and wasting the City's money
talking about this thing and never coming up with a solution that sticks and benefits everybody? We elected you.
Wt want you to do the job that wc hired you to do. The prayer that was read, at the beginning of this session, had
the word narrow in it. This is not a pinpoint issue. This is not an issue that will be solved long term by having a
narrow scope. We arc asking you to look at every single person here and think, how can you accomplish the
financial c hallenges we face. the drought challenges wc face, the safety challenges we face and the use challenges
that all o f us have a right to and make it stick or, arc you going to be back here again? Because I tell you, if you
close this park down. or if at least you don't stan opening other ones as well, you arc going to have another petition
next month and another one next month. and another one again and it is going to be put on the agenda . It is just not
go ing to go away. Tlwlk you . There was applause.
(c l Jeanne Fyfe, 3986 South Bannock Street, said thank you too for letting me come to speak. I came
here tonight. as did many of you in the audience, because I hoped I might be able to say something that would make
a difference . And. I wonder. what it is that can make a difference? There is always more than one side to a story,
especially if it is controversial. but I believe that everyone in this room agrees on one thing. We arc all grateful to
have park to go to and I am thankful to the City for that. regardless of what the decision will be, I appreciate it. I
want to state up fro nt that I am for off-leash parks. but I am al 5o for kids being able to play without stepping in dog
droppings and I am for families to be able to have picnics without dogs running over to them and bothering them . I
a m for all the good things that arc associated with parks . I have lived in Englewood for about two years now and I
have enjoyed several o f the parks . I have seen an increase in dog traffic at Jason with the closing of Bates Logan
and I have pic ked up dog doo that my dog didn't do. We all have . I have t:ikcn plastic bags to the park. I have
asked people . politel y. to mo ve from the kids playing area and fields . My dog hasn't always been the best dog and I
have had to apologize to people sometimes for my dog running up to them . I think we arc all working on being
bc n cr tcward o f o ur dog and our c hildren and whatever it is we take to the park . There arc problems and no one
deni th • but taki ng away something. as the other gentleman stated , isn't a solution. It just seems like a temporary
ti~. I don 't 1>ant to be redundant. but that is the way it seems to me . And I respectfully ask the Council, where do
)O U thinl 1>c arc all going to go with our dogs if you take away the off-leash privileges? As the other gentleman
t ted, 1>c arc not going to go away. I like living in Englewood and I like taking my dog to the park . I don't like to
put n th1n1 1n nc gam ·c terms. but I am just thinking. where do you think we arc going to go with our dogs? I hope
ou tu,c a luc o f ani mal control. because you arc probably going to get more calls . And I don't mean that in a
nc a11,c w~> t a ll . but I j ust wonder where we arc supposed to go. I will still go to the park with my dog on leash,
bul J',c ,can Australi a n shepherd -Border collie. If anybody has a ranch I can borrow, he really needs a job. I take
m [);ad ' far m 1n Nebras ka sometimes. but that is 3 ~ hours away. So that is something I have been
1 1n llll I heard the oc her gentleman say , and I've heard it before, you represent us and I know you guys
ard 11 m er and o,cr and over a nd you arc go ing to hear it again , because you do represent us, all of us,
1th people wi thout dog . people with kid s or any combination. And, one thing that I really want to
m dot I m fa m1I and he deserves to run and play in a park, just as much as any human child docs .
,,,. I 111.,,., th;at potnt. a lol o f us here will disagree, but that is how I feel . I would just like to briefly tell you of
c N C\IICnt c 1n anothcr Colorado to wn that made me want to return to that town . I was with a friend and our

was another guy there and I asked him why the small fenced park was divided into two. He said well, sometimes
there gets to be too many dogs so we kind of all just divide them up and some of us go on one side and some go on
the other. He said you know some dogs just get along with each other bcttcv than others and all in all it is a way to
manage the situation. He Jived there and he liked it. The trash cans had coverings on them, they weren't open ones
and they contained the smell and this place really looked to me like a dog park. And, I think that may be an
important distinction. I know some folks aren't keen on fences, but the thought that comes to my mind is at least
when you sec dogs in a fenced area, you know not to go over there if you don't care for dogs and I know a lot of
people don't. And the dogs won't come running up to you because they can't. These are just a few of my
observations. They arc in no way saying what I think we should do with the parks here, because I know the money
situation and that sort of thing. It is just an observation and you know I want to go back to Estes Park because I fell
really welcome with my dog there. I think that is something that cities want to do, is create welcome places for
everyone. Right now, honestly, I am not feeling so welcome with my dogs here in Englewood . I am not here to
boohoo about it but you know, I was thinking the other day ... bccause I have a lot of friends that arc about my age
and some of them have dogs and some of them don't .. .if they were to say to me, well, how do you like Englewood
so far, do you like living there? I love Jiving here, but this is one of those things that has kind of cast a damper over
it and I would probably say to them right now, if you have dogs I don't know if I would move here. I realize how it
must sound to people who don't care for dogs or who don't have dogs ... like why is it such a big deal to you? Just
like many of you have children .. .I don't have a human child and I spend a lot of time with my dog, so it is just
something that is really important to me. You know, I really don't expect everyone to like dogs and that is okay, but
here is one thing I do hope and I do expect. .. City Council you must do the right thing. I can't tell you if keeping the
off-leash parks open in the current condition is the right thing and I know that is not a popular thins to say. if you arc
a member of the off-leash group, but I can advise you that closing the parks to off-leash privileges without or befcxe
you have a definite plan or some kind of plan for moving forward with a more desirable off-leash park or parks area.
is not the right thing to do . We will all be waiting and watching ... expecting you to do the ript thing where we as
responsible dog owners are concerned. Finally I have just a couple of stats from my own street, the 3900 block of
Bannock. There arc 24 homes ... 12 on each side ... and of these no fewer than 16 have dop. I also know thll II lcall
4 of those homes have more than I dog. Multiply that by all the blocks in Englewood, hypothelically. and you have
the potential. .. should you take off-leash privileges away ... for discriminating against a whole lol of people and tllcir
beloved pets. But I would rather think along positive lines. I know we can find common pound. I know we can all
get along. Our dogs don't have a voice, but we do. Please help us find a solution that we can all happily live with.
Thank you . There was applause.
(d) Jane Coleman, 3901 South Galapago, said I am here tonight to speak with you reprdi .. the off-
leash privileges in the Englewood Park system. There arc several items that I would like to point Olli IO you.
Having lived in Englewood for forty-some years and also being a business owner and a manqer for many of mc.e
years, I have seen many changes over the years here in Englewood . Number one ... the pub in E .. lewood . Until
the past three years, dogs were allowed to walk off-leash throughout the City. The City, al about that time,
designated that all dogs must be on leash if anywhere but on their own property; or the desiJlllled off-leash parks in
Englewood . Jason Park was among 4 parks , plus a greenbelt, that were designated off-leash parks for dop. The
rest is history and you are well aware of the closing of Bates Logan. However, PfCViou5 to the dcs11naled for
off-leash. the Canadian geese were able to run rampant wherever they wanted ; and they particularly loved JAIOft
Park . You could go to Jason any time of the day or night and you would find hup flocks of see--They loved IO
feed on the grasses. And, with huge flocks of geese, come huge piles of aooae poop . It was everywhere . It 11>
impossible to walk anywhere in the park due to the green. slimy droppina of the peae. TIie peae parucularly
loved the open, grassy area of the soccer fields . Who aot the blame for thi ? There -no OM IO W-. Bui with

down. It is rare that you have the large numbers of dogs and owners that were once using the park . Number
three ... policing of the park. The off-leash groups have taken a strict eye to the drug business that was prevalent in
the Englewood Park system. With so many eyes available to report suspicious drug activity; and with the use of cell
phones, wherever the drug dealers have gone, they arc not at Jason Park . We used to sec people using the park for
sleeping at night. This has all but been wiped out. Number four ... not in my backyard. This is a particular
complaint of people living adjoining the park. However, the park is fenced . And, with that fence, that makes the
park just as much in my backyard as anyone adjoining the park. Neighbors living around Jason have no more
proprietary voices due to their proximity to the park, than say, I do and! live 5 blocks away. People as a general
rule, are adverse to change. With the advent of legal off-leash in the four parks, plus the greenbelt, it was natural for
some people to say, "no, I want things like they used to be." But we must move with the times, and the times have
changed . Number five ... use of the park. Children are no longer able to safely play in parks unsupervised. With
mothers and fathers having to work to supply the necessities for the children, a television has become their
babysitter and children arc in front of the television playing Nintendo and other television games. We cannot
designate areas based on what we used to do. The numbers of children have dropped dramatically over the past ten
years. with proof of this in that two years ago Englewood Schools laid off 26 teachers in our school system. More
lay-offs arc in the works, with a continual drop in attendance, and thusly a drop in Federal funding . There is no need
to have teachers if the children aren't there, and there is no need to reserve parks for children who are not there.
Number six ... compromise. The off-leash groups have said, repeatedly, that they were willing to compromise . Put 1
compromise on the table; and let's come to some sort of an agreement. Get a mediator if necessary. The Off-1...cuh
Task Force was a start and we need to continue with our efforts to use the parks systems to its maximum . Please
don't shut the door on us. Let's continue to look for ways that the off-leash groups can continue with their use of
the park privileges. Thank you for hearing my thinking . If you will allow us to continue to work together, I'm sure
we can come up with something that will suit the majority of the people. Thank you very much. There was
applause.
Ms . Coleman said I have another letter that I was asked to read from someone that couldn't come tonight. If it suits
you, I would like to read it. This is from Diane L. Theobald, 3860 South Sherman. "To Whom It May Concem : I
have lived in Englewood now for 7 U2 years . During the last several years, I have been blessed by bcin1 able to ao
to a park with my dog off-leash. I have thoroughly enjoyed being able to do that and get a great deal of enjoymeni
out of seeing other dogs at the park, as well . In my opinion, the off-leash parks are as much for the people• they
are for the dogs. Thus I find it pretty disturbing to learn that e,ven though dog owners are in the majority in
Englewood, the off-leash privilege may disappear because of a few who do not want parks utilized in such a way .
Some of the people who arc fighting this do not even use the parks, they simply do not want dop to be loole.
Others have made up their minds to be against dog parks because they do not like dogs. It bothen me to dlillk I -y
be represented on the City Council by a person who would not consider my desires, because they ue not thc -•
hers . I recognize that there are risks with off-leash dogs, just as there arc risks with cvcrythin1 in life . I sincaely
hope that the City can find some way to accommodate dog owners who enjoy using the parks with thcir clop. JUII U
it accommodates people who play softball, soccer, basketball and so forth . I am sure there is a way that we can all
share . Thank you for listening ." There was appl ause.

able to use the park ... this is for our community. This is a preference of life . Lately we have had some budget
crunches. What should I tell the childrcn ... oh I'm sorry, just for the library, those of you who use the library, we
have a budget crunch and therefore, we have decided not to let you check out any books, that way we can preserve
the books. Think about it. When you make that decision ... represent the people, represent the future, and think
progressively. What we have is wonderful. It is working. You people created something that is working. The
parks have a boundary. People's backyards arc not an extension of a boundary of the park. The park is for the
people of Englewood . Please don't take away my park. There was applause.
(f) Paul Gaggini, 2200 South Lincoln Street, said I came here today to help you solve a problem.
really don't think there is a problem with dogs at Jason Park. There is a problem with how some people sec this .
There is a problem in that some people think it is somehow a bad thing that has to be forbidden. I was amazed .. .I
came here with all kinds of arguments about how other things weren't harmed and I was amazed in this Study
Session to hear that there was some concern about the turf, because I am an expert on the turf at Jason Park. I know
every square inch of that turf as do several dozen people here. If you need to know anything about it, here are your
experts. There are areas of the park that are not being well watered. You know how a lawn looks when part of it is
watered and part of it isn't. It is obvious that in certain places the sprinklers aren't reaching. You have someone
already hired on the staff of Parks and Recreation that knows how to tune these sprinklers and the relatively minor
poor condition that I see in certain places is due to that. I would like to point out that use by dog owners and their
dogs is a very random sort of use of the lawn. It is not something like volleyball or soccer or baseball where there is
constant wear over a certain area. There is a heavy amount of wear as people walk around the perimeter of the park .
I want you people to go to that park and look. Don't rely on photographs. Don't rely on second hand ... take some
time out of your day here and there to go and observe the owners with their dogs, the dogs and how they play and
look at the lawn yourself. Walk around over there. It is quite a nice place. I am here to only talk about one thing
about the Englewood parks and that is Jason Park. That is the one we refer to as ''the dog park." You have created a
wonderful thin . It is great. Some people like me who don't live in Englewood come there. People come there for
other uses also, that don't live in Englewood. There are people who come there from all over the metro area to play
soccer, to play baseball and that is wonderful. And until you put up a fence around Englewood and a big sign that
says No Trespassing that is going to happen and you have to take account for that. There was a lot of usage early in
the winter before the Denver parks opened and I saw the condition of that turf late in the winter and I was sure it was
gone. I was amazed to sec that it sprang back beautifully. Go there and look at it yourself. That is all I can sec. I
think there might be a prejudice on the part of the Parks Department that their employees don't like emptying those
barrels full of dog poop. So they are kind of prejudice against it. I noticed today .. .I was there at approximately 3
o'clock ... there were three people in the park, all people playing with their dogs. I noticed that the soccer field had
been aerated, but the other part hadn't. I don't know why . Maybe they have decided that the soccer field is a high
use area and needs more aeration than the other part and that is the only part they aerated. I don't know. But I think
you wouldn't have spent a cent more on water and I don't think it is going to be a great expense on water, I think it
involves mostly just tuning up the sprinklers, giving them a reasonable amount of water like we do in Denver and
Englewood under drought conditions. Our lawns haven't died . I think that park is very ideal because it is fenced .
Three fourths of it is already fenced. And if you did think that fence s were necessary on the other part, one part
which is a street, which I don't think needs it, but I nm sure it could be done with minimal expense. I would like to
say that in the whole time I've been there, I have never seen a soccer game interrupted by a dog. I have seen that the
park is clean. It is cleaner than any park that I have every seen. I was amazed when I started invading your town to
use your dog parks that I met a bunch of lady cops in these parks . These women ... if you don't notice that your dog
just squeezed one out. .. they are going to holler at you. And that is what happens. It is a self policing group. It is
wonderful. I took a survey ... ! will give you a copy of it. .. ! walked and talked to the 24 homes who have fences
bordering the park . Nine people weren't home . Three people didn't like it. Eleven people did like it. Of the people
who didn't like it, one lady complains that the park caused mice in her home . The mice may have come after the
dogs came to the park, but I don't think the dogs caused the mice . Another person complained of odor. This is
something the City could do right now. Go move that barrel away from the fence that is ri&ht by her backyard.
Move it SO feet into the park. Another person has a running dispute with a man who comes to the park and allows
hi s dog to poop in her fr o nt yard . He cleans it up, but still they have a fight goina and he likes to tease her and they
have a running argument. She circulated a petition with 18 signatures on it of neighbors of the park that don't like
the off-leash pri vi lege that you have given us . Of the people that immediately border the park, who have a
legitimate c laim to have been damaged in some way ... financially o.r by havina their "-Som intcmlpCCld Of their
peace of mind ... only three were found to actually not like the park. Evidently her numbers were from the people in
outlying areas, not people right close to the park . I don't like the idea of portable fences . You find an area that is

stressed you might fence it off. This is the mistake that Denver is making right now. They have huge areas of their
parks, but they seem to want to fence off a two or three acre area for the dogs. It really doesn't work. I have never
seen a child hurt . I have never seen a child's play interrupted. Evidently some of you people haven't been there. I
have been there hundreds of hours. I go to Chatfield two or three times a week . I have athletic dogs. I exercise
them by playing fetch . You can't exercise a beautiful athletic dog by keeping it on a leash . And, you can't do it in a
two or three acre place either. Jason is such an ideal dog park. And, I have never seen a soccer game interfered
with. The issue of cleanliness ... everybody likes to see the little dogs scampering around. but the problem is they
use the park as a toilet. Well that is not a valid point, because in this case there would be 500 geese using the park
as a toilet and nobody is going to clean up after them. Most of the people I know pick up dog waste. whether it i ·
from their dog or not. We patrol the park and that is what we do. We walk around with our dogs and we look for
waste and we clean it up. It happens and it is perfectly clean. No situation is perfect. It is up to you to see what is
the best good for the most people. I don't think it is an ecological issue. I think you can find the water to easily take
care of that park. And, you have to consider the intense dismay that will be felt by us . It makes our day. Imagine
that you have some activity in your life that fills you with joy every time you do it . A place where you go that every
time you go there you know it is going to make you feel better and all of a sudden that is taken away. Imagine that
you arc a musician and every time you sit down to play the piano you feel happy, you feel joy and all of a sudden
you are paralyzed and you can't play. Imagine that you like to go and hear a certain preacher preach every Sunday
and all of a sudden he dies and you feel an emptiness inside. We arc going to feel intense dismay. Imagine you are
a City councilman and you enjoy your important job and you enjoy taking care of the affairs of the City and all of a
sudden you get voted out of office. How would you feel? That is how we are going to feel. And this int~nse
dismay must be balanced against the occasional irritation expressed by the neighbors of the park. There was
applause .
(g) Jill Wilson. 3061 South Grant, said I am reading a letter for Susan Pacek as she could not be here.
"Dear Mayor and Town Council Members: As the Comprehensive Planning Manager for the Town of Parker, I
understand, that to every controversial issue such as off-leash dog areas, there arc a multitude of issues that need to
be considered in order for elected officials to make an informed and proaciive decision that affects the constituents
of their community. This time, I find myself personally involved in an issue within my own community. As a
resident of Englewood, I would like to express my support for providing off-leash dog areas within our parks. The
public open space management environment has changed dramatically in the last 20 years. The range of activities in
which people are engaged has expanded, while budgets and resources have contracted. There is now much more
emphasis on efficiency and improved management. Many Council's, such as yourselves, arc grappling with making
a judgment on how to accommodate the growing recreational uses of our parks . I would like to stress the
importance of striving to be equitable and responsive to the voice of all of your constituents. According to the Parks
and Recreation Department of the City and County of Denver. 35% of Colorado homeowners own at least one dog.
Using 2000 population statistics. that translates to 5,165 households in Englewood who have dogs. One of the goals
of the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan, otherwise known as Roadmap Englewood, states that the Town will
"provide sufficient parks and recreation facilities to serve the needs of Englewood citizens by encouraging a variety
of park classifications ." It is diffic ult to achieve such a goal when a substantial user base may not be accommodated
if all parks are cl osed to off-leash areas . Off-lea sh dog parks offer a multitude of opportunities for dogs and their
o wners alike . Such community benefits include: socializes and exercises dogs in a safe environment: A well
socialized and exerc ised dog is le ss likely to develop behavior problems such as aggression or barking. Provides an
opportunity for people to interact and get to know other community members, while participating in an activity that
they enjoy with their pets. Provides elderly and disabled owners with an accessible and safe place to exercise their
do gs . Provides a safe environment for outdoor dog obedience classes. Removes unwanted clements, such as crime
and loitering, from elsewhere in the park through dog owner supervision. I am also aware that there arc community
drawbacks, however, there are restrictions that can be developed to mitigate these valid concerns .... limiting hours.
di s tribution o f dog activities so no one park is overburdened. community based organizations to develop clean up
days, etc . Numerous co mmunities adjacent to Englewood and throughout the country arc taking active steps toward
accommoda ting for o ff-lea sh do g recreation. In February of this 1ear, Denver opened five off-leash do& areas
within e xis tin g parks. According to Denver's Parks Planning project mana1cr for the Dog Off-Leash Piloc Program.
none o f the in itial fears related to health nd safety. voiced by the oppos itio n, have been realized. She further added
th at the program ha s been suc cessful thus far . Other communities s uch as Highlands Ranch have also implemented
ucccss ful programs. Counc il has recently taken a pos itive step toward dcvclopin& a win-win solution by appointing
a Task Force to tud y th is i sue. I understand fro m Jerrell Black. that the Task Force is close to finalizin& a
recomme nd a ti o n. I al so und erstand that Council needs to respond to the petition recently submitted by the residents

adjacent to Jason Park, as well as the recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission, to temporarily
ban the off-leash parks program. I believe that Town Council would like to provide a community where the needs
of all of its constituents arc met. Maintaining the Task Force to its fruition is a way to achieve this success. In
summary, I respectfully request the Council postpone a decision 10 close all parks to off-leash activity until a formal
recommendation, which is forthcoming, is submitted by the Task Force. At that point, Council would have the
necessary information for making an informed decision based upon the input from the various parties vested in this
issue. As a professional planner, I believe I could be of assistance with this effort and am happy to help in anyway.
I have put my comments in writing to you because; unfortunately, I wil! not be able to attend your June 711> hearing
date, due to a work conflict. . .I am presenting to Town Council in Parker as the staff planner on two projects. Thank
you for listening to all of your constituents and in striving to reach a win-win solution. Respectfully, Susan M.
Pacek." There was applause.
7. Unscheduled Visitors
(a) Debra Brown, 2736 South Grant, said I am not just a Colorado native, I am an Englewood
native ... born and raised in Englewood. I remember Bates Logan Park when it wu an empty field. I used to walk
across there going to grade school at Washington and Charles Hay. Going to the dog park with my dog to an off-
leash park was a new experience for me . I got my dog a year ago and found out about the Jason Park Group. I went
down there and found it to be a surprisingly very pleasant and positive experience. My dog has since grown to
really enjoy it and become very well socialized. I got her from the Denver Dumb Friends League. I think having an
off-leash park is a really progressive thing to do. I am very proud of Englewood and the things they have done over
the years. I think that having an off-leash park kind of goes beyond humane, to kind and benevolent treatment of
animals. l think that is a positive role model in our society. So, I just want to say that I think it allows dogs to be
dogs and allows people to socialize in a really positive way and sets a good role model. I think we have some very
responsible people here who care for their animals and care for the park very much . I just want to really be an
advocate of that . Please come and see what goes on there. It is a surprisingly pleasant and refreshing experience.
There was applause.
(b) Karleen Broadwater. 3106 South Sherman Street, said I am a relatively new resident to Colorado.
I have been here a year. I originally lived in Littleton and now I am in Englewood. One of the reasons I did move
10 Englewood is because I have dogs and you had dog parks . Now I live close to Bates Logan and it is closed and
now Jason Park is on the block . We are very concerned ... we hear a lot of rumors at the dog park ... this person is
upset now or someone has complained about something ... and I think that on the whole, the dog owners that
paironize Jason Park arc very conscientious. When I look around. I think what could be the problem? I am a good
citizen. I don't want to invade anyone else space. or anything like that. Paul and I decided on Sunday just to go
door to door. We went 10 all the houses that abut up and share a fence line with Jason Park. As you will see in the
handout . there is a map ... they are a little dog-cared, because people hadn't seen them and they have been passed
back and forth . But we went door to door and you can see the results of who wu home, who we spoke with. how
many people had dogs, and the ones with the X's are the ones that had negative comments ... they didn't like the dog
park. It was very interesting. We spoke with residents who had been there for six months and we spoke with
res idents who had been there for 40 years, who had seen the evolution of the park and its use. There were a variety
of comments. Most people said, oh no, no issues with the dog park . Even people with dogs said we don't really use
the dog park but we like the dog park. There weren't any huge concerns. There was one woman who was very
co ncerned about her kids going out to the park. she had seen a rottwciler ... this is a scary dog. But at the same time,
we had at least three households who said, no my kids take our dog over there all the time ... and you will note their
ages arc noted : 6, 11 and 13 and so the ages arc there. I think that one of the things that spurred this is I tend to be a
little wounded when people think that I have done them harm and so this )"'Ha way of putting to rest that we were
irritating people. Truly ii was a really good experience. h was good to talk with these people and hear what they
had 10 say. The thing that did come up ... they asked that we please move the trash barrel away from their back fence
e pccially as it gets hot. That is an easy thing to do. We had people say that they feel the park looks gn:at. We
s poke with a 13 year old daughter of one resident and we asked her if she had ever seen a soa:er game
intcrrupted ... has a dog ever chased the ball ... has a dog ever chased a kid ... and she said no. We spoke with a
gentleman whose kids had played soccer there in the 1970's or early 1980's nnd he said oh the ICCIC were terrible.
T hey s lide aro und in the slime all the time. The thing that did strike me wu how many of thclc households did have
dogs. wh ic h was al so brought up. ,.But I thought thi s wu intercstin& information. because thclc are the people
pote ntiall y who could be offended or not like the park . As for the 1urf issues . I'm new to En&lewood . I have been

here since January, I'm new to Colorado a little bit more than a year .. .! haven't met anybody in the park who isn't
willing to put in work, to show up and clean up the park, and to follow directions. Every time 1 get my Englewood
newsletter in the mail, I look through it and I look specifically for dog issues and park issues. I haven't seen any of
those issues addressed since I have been here, so I think some of it is an education and communication issue. You
have an army of people here who arc willing to adopt the park in some sense and do what it takes in terms of
fencing, landscaping or whatever needs to be done. And I know that in the Englewood catalog that I get for
classes ... and I patronize the classes here in Englewood, it is a great benefit ... there was a thing about needing people
to adopt a garden or a garden spot. You have a planner who tells you what kind of plants to buy and you can have a
little spot where you can contribute to the community and purchase pansies or whatever and plant. I think the dog
community in general is very much in that mind set. We arc happy to take care of what benefits us. We like being
pan of the community. W c want people to be happy with our presence. I guess I'm confused and this is the first
time I have ever been to one of these meetings. We have great resources and we can use them and I hope we do. I
am sure that I speak for almost everybody that I have ever met at the dog park, when I say that we are happy to do it
So, I would look forward to seeing solutions that include us more and also communication with us. Coming from
out of state, I've never seen such controversy around dog issues. One of the solutions they implemented in Salt
Lake City, in a very high traffic canyon, was odd/even days. People wanted to cross country ski with their dogs. It
was a mess, so on odd days you ski with your dogs and on even days, no dogs. A canyon behind the capital, which
is where I lived in Salt Lake City ... one side of the canyon allowed for runners, bikers, walkers and the other side of
the canyon unpaved deer trails ... that is the dog side. Three times a year they have a big banner hanging over
Memory Groove that says, Clean-Up Day and you go over there and there arc hundreds of people that use that
canyon and that park that show up and we redo trails, we restock bags, we do whatever it takes and it is a really fun
community thing. I think that is another huge benefit of this dog park community is that I am a newcomer and this
has become my community. This is how I have learned about Colorado. This is how I have learned about politics.
And so it has been enormously beneficial to me personally. I think there arc solutions out there and I think you
should tap us as a resource very aggressively. Thank you. There was applause .

Council Member Moore asked how many speakers do we have left? Mayor Garrett said we have two pages . Mr.
Moore said we do have other business that we need to attend to and there are a lot of people who would like to
speak. Do we need to set up a different time where we can finish the discussions so we can handle our other
business? Mayor Garrett said we decided to put it on the agenda for the 21•. This is really the opportunity for them
to speak. Council Member Bradshaw said that is true. Mr. Garrett said if we hadn't done that. if we were
postponing we could actually set it up also for the 21•, but we don't have any formal opportunity for the people to
speak until the next meeting. Mr. Moore said thank you. Council Member Bradshaw said we are going to continue.
(c) Caroline Calhoun, 4501 South Pennsylvania Street, said I want to thank you guys for letting us all
speak and letting us all come and voice our opinions. Because obviously with the turnout we have, this is pretty ·
dear to all of our hearts. Sorry to single you out Mr. Moore. but as you said in the meeting, the only option is to
c lose the dog park. I kind of think you could be wrong, because we arc not going to stop going to the park. I moved
into my house almost four years ago. I didn't know anybody and I sat around .. .! live by myself and it gets a little
nerve wracking ... no husband and no kids . Got my dog and started going to the park. Now every morning I hang
o ut with Bill and Rita and it is not just running your dog. I koow everybody's life. I know everything that happens.
When someone's dog dies, we all sit and get sad. It is a frie ndship thing. It is not just a hanging out thing. I
understand that children get to play and I understand that we should have soccer games. and I understand we should
have T-ball games, but I do n't have kids . I pay my taxes, I deserve my park and I don't have the other outlets that
some o ther people might have. I just think that telling me that my time and my social life and my concerns arc not
as important as a soccer team ... wcll, I'm willing to wager that most of the children are not Englewood kids and they
arc probably not paying taxes like I do. Why am I watering a field so that somebody else can enjoy it? I'm not
sayi ng that I d o n 't want them too as well . I think you can make it work for everybody. but you have to look at the
si ngle person who l ives by herself who was nervous. I got a dog to be safe and now I know all of my neighbors.
They arc going 10 take care of my dog when I go out of town. They will watch my house . There is a fCIIK o f
community and it bring the whole community together where you know everybody. They keep track of you. They
make ure everything is going okay. If I didn't ,how up they would wonder what happened . I mean. Olhcrwise.
"hat am I gomg to do? Go to the bar every night? That ,s not an option for me . Where else can I So Ill socialize
myself !lS well as my dog in a healthy. safe way that promotes community, it promo1a sarety. it does not promote

goose and it doesn't promote drug dealers. I don't understand how you can make such an easy decision as to say
that my life and my happiness comes in second to a T-ball game, because I don't think that is fair. And, I don't
really think it is a drought issue, because if it was we wouldn't have built the big water park. I think it takes a heck
of a lot less water to water a park than to build a big slide. But again, that is for children. Well my dog can't go
down a slide so I guess I can't use that park, let the kids go there. I am not trying to say that we shouldn't all be able
to live together and work together but the whole thing is, I think we ,.hould. And, I don't want to have to go back
and be cooped up in my house, not knowing my neighbors , not feeling safe, and not having anything to do in the
evening but sit there and watch TV. I don't really like the TV. I would much rather sit outside and get some
exercise. I know that sounds silly to you guys. but I also feel like as member of the community. I get to use it too.
know you guys are pretty tired, because you have two pages of people signed up, but obviously you can tell that we
really arc not going away . These are my friends now . I am going to hang out with my friends even if my dog is on
a leash . So wear and tear on the park is really kind of going to get taken off the table, because we are still using it .
And I don't mean that in a bad way . You know, it is a much more fun, healthy, safe place and it is something for a
s ingle person like me to be able to go out. where at night I might not feel safe taking my dog just on a walk around
the streets. But I do feel safe hanging out with IO friends that I have gotten to know quite well actually. Maybe I
am just a geek who wants to hang out at the park, but I guess I have that right to be a geek who gets to hang out at
the park, rather than an alcoholic who hangs out at the bar. So. anyway, I know we arc kind of doing this ad
nauseam, but we felt it was necessary. Thanks. I won't take up all my time, because I think we are still down to
what...two and a half pages. There was applause.
(d) April Clifton. 819 South Logan, said I am an unscheduled guest and I have an unprepared talk, but
it is a subject that I feel very passionate about. I am new to the area. As a social thing, I don 't have kids and I am
no longer physically able to do things like soccer and softball . I think there are many people who do not or cannot
have children and cannot appreciate the park in the physical way that children and adults in sports activities can. My
pets are my family and now, visiting this park is a social life . As the woman before me said, it is a sense of
community. You can make connections there, not just as friends or dog sitters. but other business connections and
for someone who is new in the area, getting to know where to do this and that. It is very imponant. I am new and I
don't know all the parks, but I noticed that this park, in my opinion. is much cleaner and much nicer. In the
informative meeting earlier it seemed that the turf and the health of the park was an issue, whereas if you can look at
many of the parks where dogs are not allowed off-leash, they are not in as good a condition. Not just goose poop.
you may find more dog poop just because there isn't anyone policing. So, I feel strongly because it \s a community,
as many people have mentioned. It does seem it would really help if you did actually go and visit the park. I heard
at the information meeting, people were requesting pictures, which were great, but just stopping by and comparing a
couple of parks and stopping by Jason, I think would make so much difference in your opinions. I know that not
everyone has time to do that , but it is quick and you live in the area. That is all I am going to say. I am going to
leave more time for people who are prepared . Thank you. There was applause.
(e) Alice Hanna. 4420 South Elati Street, said I am going to say just one quick thing. The two times
that I have met more people in the City of Englewood was first, during the bli'zzard because I had to go outside and
shovel my front yard . I met a lot of new neighbors . I had just moved to the Englewood area a year and a half ago.
And, the second time was when Bates Logan closed, because more people came to Jason Park. I began meeting my
neighbors ... I live on South Elati Street. I think now, in the past six months, I have met five or six people who live
o n my street , just because of the dog park issue and it has really helped foster the community. I am going to read a
lener that I put together this weekend and had signed by about 65 off-leash supporters. I am going to read that to
you . "Dear Council Members: The off-leash parks in Englewood are an essential part of our community and I urge
you to keep them off-leash . Through Englewood 's off-leash parks, I have met others from my neighborhood as well
as from other parts of the Englewood community. The benefits of off-leash parks are for our dogs as well as for the
people. Our dogs are able to get the exercise they need and socialize with other dogs, resulting in well -behaved and
publicly safe dogs. The dog owners arc able to meet and socialize with other members of the community. For many
o f us. we have created wonderful friendships and have met more people from our neighborhoods through these off-
leas h parks . In additio n to exercising our dogs. we have monthly social functions and park clean-up days that are
organized through the multiple formal groups that have been created to address the needs or off,leash parks and the
use rs' enjoyment . Those of us who use these parks. value their importance and are responsible dog owncn. We are
s trict to enforce wa te pic k up and keeping our dog from the parks' other patrons, as we are aware or others who
use these parks a well. Taking away our off-leash privileges will remove an important part of the Englewood
communit y. I s i.ppon off-lea h parks in Englewood and I urge City Council to keep off-leash privileges in the

current off-leash parks." She then read the names from the letters that had been signed by off-leash supporters. I
am sorry to read those, but I wanted to make sure they were part of the record. I also wanted you to sec how many
people that may not be here tonight really support this. I am going to hand them to the City Clerk to make sure they
arc part of the record. I appreciate your time. Thank you. There was applause.
(f) Jonathan Patch, 819 South Logan Street, said I will keep it short. Jason Park is an excellent plau
to go. I was pretty surprised when I first went there that it was set up in the way it was, because the pressure on
deliberative bodies such as this, is to keep things safe and low risk and joyless. I was quite frankly imprcs5ed that
this type of environment was set up. I think you've done a wonderful job. You arc on the right track ... stay with it.
Thank you. There was applause.
(g) Robert Erickson, 4061 South Acoma, said there is not much I want to add to what has already
been said tonight, except .... which is already pretty much a given, but may have been forgoacn ... about the bond
between animals and people. There have been plenty of studies done with hospital paticnls and dop and cats and
the therapeutic value of their connection. You know, the people that arc sick or alcoholics or drug addicts. If you
visit the park you might get a wet nose, but it is a lot better reaction than you can get from a lot of odlel' different
situations. I haven't seen any drug dealers at the park or any teenagers doing drugs or drinking alcohol in the
comers. And I haven't seen any kind of possible molestation type of situations going on. It could be, but I can't say
positively for a fact, but it could be because there is the wet nose factor. There is a possibility of the stray dog
running over and possibly stamping his wet nose on somebody who is trying to be pretty cool and do some illegal
activity. (just want to throw that in just as a little added tidbit. Thank you. There was applause.
(h) Cheryl Popevis, 5932 South Crestview, said the park is wonderful, please don't close it to us. I
think it is great that the park is well used. I think that is what a park is for . That means that you arc doing a great
job. So, please don't close it. The grass will come back. Thank you, she said . There was applause.
(i) Marianne Criswell, 3969 South Cherokee Street, said, except for seven years that I spent in our
nation's capital, I have been a resident of Englewood since 1964. What 1 have lcarncd throughout my life is that it is
the government's responsibility to build a community. This dog park adds to your community in such a way that I
don't think you know. I was rather surprised, in the earlier meeting tonight, that someone was asking for pictures.
The park is approximately 10 blocks from here. When was the las1 time any of you have gone there? Our
congressmen arc well known for taking fact finding trips ... they like to spend a lot of money. I will be IIIOl'C than
happy to buy you a soda or a cup of coffee and you can come on over and take a look at it. The park is not in bad
shape. The worst parts I have seen on it is that you will sec four squares. Two up and two back, put a net in
between ... that is volleyball. That is from one weekend. The drought is bad everywhere. I am a community
member ... I don't have children. If you would like to take the taxes 1 pay that go to the school board and give it to
the park, I would be more than happy, because that is where I go with my kid Patch. If you don't believe that it docs
build community, you should hear the whispers as I am coming up ... "that's Patch's momma." I don't know many
of these people by name, I'm terrible with people names ... but I could probably tell you each of the dog's names.
This i ~ part of my community and I have been proud to be a member of the Englewood community. Plcasc keep the
park open. Thank you, she said. There was applause.
(j) Shannon St urgcn, 2431 South Tcjon Street, said I am a registered voter in Englewood and I vote .
I contacted everybody on Friday to tell you I was pro choice ... that I am in favor of the off-leash dog parks and the
only person I actually spoke to was Beverly. I didn't talk to anybody else, nobody else called me back, even though
I left my phone number. But, like I said, I want the dog park open. I don't have any kids either. I want my dog at
the park. I live by a greenbelt park, but it is not a good park for dogs. It is nanow, the Irids arc in the street, the kids
harass my dog. There is nothing that you guys do to stop that from going on. But 1 want my dog at the park ... that's
it. There was applause.
(k) Kathleen Buckley, 4648 South Pearl Street, said I know it has been a Iona evening, so 1 will make
1his very short. I just want to say I support everyone's comments from before. I know there are droqhl concerns.
that were addressed in the meeting prior to this, and I'm just thinkin& that with the aummer comin&, I know my dot
just gets very lethargic and doesn't run around very much. but I know we will eo then and probably jusc ban& out.
So maybe that would be a decrease in the wear and tear on the grass . I don't think it is really that much of a

problem. It is a beautiful park, it is a beautiful community. I just hope that you will support us and keep it open.
Thanks, she said. There was applause .
(I) Jennifer Newton, 4062 South Acoma Street, said I have lived here over 30 years and I too am a
woman without kids, so my tax money is going to parks, I hope, so I can use them . But I just wanted to say that I
just discovered this park about a year ago. I have a 14 year old dog and an 8 month old puppy who is very
rambunctious and the puppy lives for that park. I cannot skip a day ... my life is hell without it. It is just not fun.
What I have discovered is that there is a beautiful community here of nice people who like each other. And I tell
you what ... after working the customer service desk all day, it is really nice to sec people being nice to each other. It
is just a good thing and I would hate to sec it go away. What I sec here is a muddling of issues. I sec an issue with
the drought. But I think we arc using grey water on that park, so it shouldn't be as big an issue. I sec an issue with
leash or off-leash . I don 't sec what difference a leash would make ... we're going to use the park anyway. And I sec
an issue where this thing hasn't been publicized to the community. I haven 't seen any postings, I haven't seen it in
any of the papers, I haven't seen what the problem is . We have a drought, we will deal with it. There arc ways of
fencing things off ... maybe we need to spread the dogs out in more areas. I just don't sec this black and white, yes
and no thing working. Because I don't think you are dealing with the voters. I mean I have my rights too, I need to
go to that park, I need to decompress. It is a good thing. That's about all I can say. Please consider us all . There
was applause.
(m) Recd Quinn Jr .• 461 West Quincy, said I lived there for IO or 11 years now . In your earlier
di sc ussions. before this meeting. it seemed that you were focusing more on the drought issue and the hardship on the
grass and the turf in the park. Some of the comments that were made was get rid of the dogs . Instead of taking one
faction or one usage out of the park, it should be spread to the whole community . If dogs arc a problem, limit their
use, but also limit T-ball, soccer, volleyball, picnics ... the complete use of it, instead of singling out one particular
group. It is a park for Englewood. For the citizens here, for anyone here. To single out one group .. .I think that is
wrong. Secondly. I started using the park about a year ago. I know there arc conccms with people, with dogs being
off-leash and being around children. I am fully aware of this . I ilm on my third rottweiler. Probably, one of the
scariest dogs that arc down at the park . When I used to walk my two rottweilcrs, people would cross the street.
They were scared of the dogs because of reputation and lack of education. Having my dog down at the dog park. I
have actually had parents bring their children ovo:r to the dog to pet it, to show the kids that it is not what it is made
o ut to be . It is good for the children and it is good for the community to know that a particular breed is not vicious,
because of its breed . And it has been good for me. because I have been able to socialize my animals, which in turn
make s them better animals in the community . I would hope that you would make a good decision on finding a
solution for this, rather than just ending privileges of just one group . Thank you, he said. There was applause.
(n) Glori lea Washatko, 4140 South Inca Street, said my husband and I moved into Englewood, into
our home about 4 Yi years ago. We enjoy the neighborhood , wc like the neighborhood . I checked out the
neighborhood very closely, before wc moved in, just to make sure it was a good choice for us . One of the things
that we really liked was Jason Park . I think, at that time, it wasn't an off-leash dog park. We would go for walks in
the evening, us ually between the hours of 8 :00 p.m. and 11 :00 p.m .• and there were times when we were walking
that we wou ld sec activities happening in the parking lot and in the park that were mi schievous at best. I suspect
there were probably drug deal s goi ng o n, maybe other activities, but we didn't really go over and find out what they
were doing. We just walked home . Since this has become a dog park, we don't sec that anymore and we still go for
walks between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 11 :00 p.m. or we will take our dog to go walk in the park . Something that
you should know is that I am not a dog owner for many years. We have recently adopted a pct and her name is
Sally. She is a part of o ur family . She is very special to us and we consider her a family member. If you take a1ny
Jason Park from the dog owners ... to people who have pets in their family and they are actually a part of it, ir
family ... wo uld be like taking away privileges to children in families . Dogs aren't really any different than
childrcn ... thcy arc family members. They require exercise and care just like anything else docs. I only found out
about this th is past week. so I haven 't had very much time to prepare . I was curious why there haven ·1 been more
things ,n the new paper or on flyers . I had to hear it from other people in the park ... that this wu pouibly
something that could happen . That the off-leash dog park privileges could be taken away . I wu surprised because I
have ne, er heard o f or seen a ingle problem with the dog or the kids or the interaction of the people there . Have
any of you gone 10 the park and actually 5ecn 11 or checked it out ? Sometlun& else you should know is that I am
used to fi ,n g thing . I w.1 a computer technician for a km& timc,:.nd I moved inlO a tcachina positlOII, because my

has taught me that solutions to many problems usually invol ve caring and sharing and community. To focus on just
one group of people who have dogs, who utilize a park and actually make it safer, is not right. It is not right. There
arc many options that could be looked at for something like that. There could be particular hours for dogs to be off-
leash, something to where everybody has to share the park. It should be divided equally. You shouldn't take away
privileges for one group of people just because you think that is going to solve the problem, especially since you
haven't been to the park and actually seen it. Mike Flaherty told me that there arc, on record, problems at Bates
Logan Park with dogs and children. I don't know of anything like that, but again, I haven't had time to do my
homework and my research . I don't think anybody here has heard of any problems. Have you? Again, some
possible solutions arc scheduled off-leash dog hours. It would ultimately save money and promote community
harmony. I have heard of some people talking about the smell from the containers where the dog droppings go. A
possible solution to that would be special containers for dog droppings to eliminate possible future complaints. You
guys have an opportunity here to be leaders, to promote community and to make a good decision. You have an
opportunity to be, not only leaders here in Englewood, but for other cities too, to sec Englewood as an example of
how they solve problems. I strongly urge each of you to be fair and equitable to all citizens and family members of
Englewood and to not single out a select few. Especially when you have not gone and seen what the park is and
what it does and what ii involves. I thank you for the opportunity to speak to you. I know you are tired.just like
everyone else here. I thank you for not changing the agenda, to try to cut the meeting short. Please make the right
decision. Please take into consideration everybody, not just a select group of people. Thank you. There was
applause.
(o) Victoria LeBcrt. 240 East Cornell, said I am sorry as I know it has been a long evening and I will
try to make it quick. I just want to say a couple of things that I didn't hear anybody else say. One is the issue o, the
stress on Jason Park. It is kind of ironic that you close Bates Park, because there was stress on the park ... well it was
one of the reasons ... and we all moved to Jason Park and now we are talking about closing Jason and if we all left
there and went to another off-leash park it would triple the stress on that park . I also wanted to say that I contribute
a large percentage of my dog's excellent behavior to off-leash parks. We have the opportunity to let her go away
from me and then I call her back. I have never heard of a problem with the soccer games that was mentioned, I have
never heard of a problem with a child being hurt by a dog or being harmed by the feces of a dog. I support what
these people say and I do think there are compromises. Some people arc willing to pay for licenses to take their
dogs to off-leash parks. Just as a suggestion. That is all I wanted to say. Thank you for your time, she said. There
was applause.
(p) Bill Gedeon. 460 West Quincy, said I have been there about 27 Ya years . Not to repeal anything
anybody else has said, but I would imagine the cost of City allowing us the privilege of using the off-leash park is
minimal . Emp«ying garbage cans is about all I sec and for mos• of us we clean up after our dogs and other dogs.
We bring plastic bags for other people and I have seen people •lly telling cigarette smokers to quit throwing
their butts on the ground. We have such an investment in Jaso I really wonder if you take that away from
this . if that commitment is going to be there anymore and your c . of cleaning up the park is going to go up. That's
about all I have to say, other than I wish you would each come down there any time, any day to sec what it is like.
Thank you, he said. There was applause .
(q) Nancy Rogcs. 2829 South Logan. said really the only thing I would like to say is that there are a
lot of viable options to make this work. I understand that the Task Force has been in effect for, I thinf, about 6
months now. What I would strongly encourage you to do is hire a professional mediator. I have been involved in
union negotiations and we have used problem solvina, where each side is allowal to have !heir interesll heard and
come to an agreement, because I don't think that the Tuk Force is aoina to be able 10 reach a decision if there arc
two sides without anyone helping them to mediate their-own opinions. I think it is a waste of time. Thanks, she
said. There was applause.
(r) Jill Tomaso. 32 18 South Lopn Street. I just wan1 to say that I support the dos part and expect a
decision to be made that is fair to everybody. That a compromise will be made that is fair to all ciu.m who 111C the
park, because we live here too and we pay Wes and I don't think you want to make a hormonal, prepaal -
upset . There was applause.
(s) Jan Birmingham. 4180 South Jason Street, said I am darectly IICl'OU the screet from lhe park.
Although I have only h vcd there a short period of time . I hved in Denver since 1979 . My daqhler and I Uled to ao

to Jason Park and play on the playground and we had pizza in the park all the time. I have always loved that park
and when I had the opponunity to move across the street from it, I just cherished it. When I found out it was a dog
park, I was even more thrilled. I sec people come and that the dogs arc happy to be there and they don't bark that
much. There is more noise from the volleyball players than the kids or the dogs. They have a wonderful time. It is
a wonderful facility. I have seen more dogs leave droppings in Washington Park than I have at Jason Park, because
there is no peer pressure to pick up after your dog. People just go "oh, nobody's looking" and they walk away. I
don't sec that at Jason Park. I sec people going over there and playing with their dogs. I sec people going there
every day. I sec some people going there twice a day. I just recently moved in. so I took some time off work to
unpack and so I was watching all this and I very much look forward to taking my dog, either on or off-leash to Jason
Parle Thank you very much, she said. There was applause.
(1) Lisa Miller. 403 East Mexico Avenue, said, quite frankly, I can't say anymore than what
everybody else has already said, other than to ask if anybody has done any research in any other city like Seattle,
San Francisco, Chicago or New York City, where they have dog parks everywhere? Very successful dog parks. I
think if we did some research and found out how these parks were very successful, we could have that here. It is
simple. It could be a very simple solution. If you can't do your research, then we can do our research, because it is
happening. It is happening in Central Park. How many people arc there? Kids and everything. So, it can happen in
these very large cities. Denver doesn't compare to New York City. I think it can happen. That is all, she said.
There was applause.
(u) Chris Sexton, 30455 Conifer Road, Evergreen, said I am not a resident of your City, but I do enjoy
the dog parks. I should probably tell you exactly how that comes to be. I am president of the Colorado Disc Dogs.
A Frisbee dog club, based here in the front range and all over the State. I am also a founder and board member of
the UFO, which is an international Frisbee dog organization. We run the world cup series which. last year, took a
stop in Littleton, but we enjoyed a night of recreation and social activities with competitors from all over the country
at Sheridan Park, which I believe is part of the Englewood park system. I wonder if any of you folks were in politics
30 years ago? Some things happened back then that arc fairly significant. I want to &tan off by talking about some
logical things that were pointed out in the informational meeting. The issue that the dog people aren't p>ing away.
Never. They arc going to be there all the time ... on-leash or off-leash. And they don't impact the quality of the park
grass. The water issue is different from the dog impact issue. And sprcadina it uound to everybody is a much more
equitable solution. I brought up 30 years ago. because 30 years ago. Auaust 5. 1974, a crazy py by the name of
Alex Stein took his crazy dog and they jumped over the fence at Dodaer's Stadium and on10 the field, the seve!Wh
inning stretch. and he staned throwing Frisbees for his dog. In this day and age he would have been arrested and
thrown in jail real quick, but back then, Joe Garagiola, calling the game. thouaht it wu very novel and they let it ao
on, on national television. for about 10 minutes. It was the stan of a revolution and that revolution wu dog
ownership, kind of. It didn't create a multi-million dollar spon that is on television all the time. it didn't crca1e an
elite class or breed of dog. What it did was create this really fun activity that people arc able to enjoy with their dog.
When they got involved. suddenly they discovered their dogs and they found out that there is a bond between
o wners and their dogs. Everybody here understands that. I bring up the Frisbee because that is what I am involved
in . I don't want to go too far down that road or we could be there all niaht. But this led to a1ili1y and the fly ball.
Frisbee is kind of the granddaddy of all the dog sports and the revolution wasn't in the do& sport. the revolution was
the bond with people and their dogs. The revolution came at a time when your choice in dog food was to ao down
to the feed mill and pick up 50 pounds of Purina and split it among your friends. We have moved to hiply
scientific diets and billions and billions of dollars. In 2002. $95 billion was spent on dog products by Americans.
These arc people who have taken dogs into their lives and they have become a part of their lives. To deny them. as a
group of people. access to some privileges, where they arc not really causina problems ... it doesn ·1 make a lot of
sense. So I just want 10 say that I really support )OU guys and in the position you are at now. Because, you pys are
at compromise ... you have achieved compromise ... you arc there ... you have parks where people can ao with their
dogs and you have plac..-e where you have to keep the dogs on lease or keep the usage out. By clo&ina that down to
people ... as it has been pointed out ... and you concentrate your focus wliere the dogs are aoina to be ... it i aoina to
get worse . I have seen it happen. penonally ... first hand. I lived in Fort Collins for ten years and when they finally
opened one dog park. it wu a lot of fun for the first few days and then whelt the pass wu ac-and there was only
din left . because 11 wu half an acre and that wu the only place you could leaally ao, it wun't ao much fun
anymore. But d1SLribu11ng that wear. you are l(lina to sec a lot better rcsourcea put IO 111e by the people here .
nothcr I uc that I ·hould point out here i reputatlOII, For a lol'I time the Ctty of Denver had a rq,ulMion for
being vcr anti-dog and that reputallOII ult u1u wnh them. They have made some Step1 forward, IOIIIC very &OOd

steps by opening up their dog parks, but their dog laws arc draconian. The dog parks arc a good step, but everybody
knows about the undercover dog police that they had in Washington Park. What kind of mentality do you have to
have to do that? Now, I understand why they do that. It is because of the bad apples and the bad apples do spoil it
for everybody. We have a lot of very progressive groups here that try to minimize the bad apples and re-educate
people. That is not a road that anyone wants lo go down. We do not want to sec Englewood become that place
where the dog thing is just not working. The dog thing is working and ii is not the issue you think ii is . I really
support you guys and the position of compromise that you arc al right now. Keep that compromise and keep
working with the people and keep those options open for everybody. Shutting the door ... that's draconian. Keeping
it open ... that's progressive. As a resident of Colorado and the Colorado lifestyle that I have enjoyed my whole life,
and being involved in lots of different sports where there is multi-use and different groups interacting .. .I was a
mountain biker for a long time and I saw the horse/biker/hiker issues jog around each other. They find their
level. .. they do ... and I trust that you guys will have the wisdom to find that level yourself. I thank you for the time
here and I support you and your decisions of compromise. Thank you, he said. There was applause.
{v) Christi Goodman, 30455 Conifer Road, Evergreen, said I am here because I am a member of
Colorado Disc Dogs and we use one of your parks, once a month. for our Frisbee gatherings. So that is the genesis
of my interest. However, I wanted to point out that I have been a dog trainer for over 20 years . Clearly, all these
people here are pro off-leash dog park, but even the people who disagree with off-leash dog parks, would agree that
since there arc dogs in our community, well behaved dogs, safe dogs, arc our ultimate goal. And that is dog owners
and people who want 10 be left alone by well-behaved, well-socialized dogs. As a dog trainer I can only stress the
importance of socialization 10 a well-behaved dog. It doesn't happen on a leash. I have taught many dog training
classes, I have been to many dog training classes and that kind of dog to dog interaction only happens off-leash. For
whatever reason, the leash is a psychological barrier for dogs getting well socialized. So you arc not going to have
as well behaved dogs, if you have no off-leash areas for dogs to socialize. Also, being the owner of two extremely
active Australian Shepherds, I know that a tired dog is a good dog. So the things that have been mentioned earlier
about barking, behavioral problems, digging and fence fighting ... everything that dogs get into trouble for, can be
solved with a lot of regular exercise. Like the guy said earlier, I can't jog that fast or that long, which is actually
why I started playing Frisbee. I wanted lo point out, as a citizen, that I am very proud of the Englewood attitude
towards dogs. or I have been, and I pointed it out to all of the people who came from all over the country last year to
our big event in August, that we have some of the most progressive dog attitudes in the country, here in Englewood
and many of them were very jealous. I would really hate to inform them that that has gone away. I didn't come to
the earlier meeting. but I wanted to point out, regarding the turf issues, that I heard from the turf manaaer at Mile Hi
Stadium that when we go and do half time performances for them they arc thrilled 10 death, because the dogs cause
the least amount of damage of anybody who comes into the stadium. Thank you very much fo; yow-time, she said.
There was applause.
(w) Eugene Norman said this has been a very interesting dog day evening. I have been a resident of
Englewood for 75 years. I think there arc dog people and cat people and then arc just people people. I consider
myself 10 be a people person. Wc ... you and l...us ... America ... the whole world, according 10 the laws of physics,
we cxi tor manifest in, at best. a void . What we do with, and in that illusion, is us . All of us creating. What we
create is a world you sec before you. Wc ... you ... us ... me, we all create our lives on both subjective and objective
level in space time. We can have relative heaven or hell and ii is dependent on ego or lack of. We humans have
the capacity to create miracles. But first we must find our center ... God ... one thought. The concept of free people
and free enterprise is a paradox. a catch-22 situation, that has been the cause of action by the Mortcal in both the
past and the present. Money controls us. whereas ii is ... we together ... who must control money and our relative
ignorance as well. Our relative wisdom must be given freedom . Capitali m and plutocracy control us. We need to
control capitahs m and plutocracy beyond our silly egos and unthinking greed. Wants arc a bottornle pit, needs arc
more amenable. My intent in trying to communicate. is simply an attempt to go beyond cao, both mine and yours.
Ego barrier can be quite detrimental at limes 10 the self. the self that we arc. When one lowers their cao ... thoupts,

11 . Regular Agenda
(a) Approval of Ordinances on First Reading
(i) City Clerk Ellis presented a recommendation from the Department of Finance and
Administrative Services, City Clerk's Office, to adopt a bill for an ordinance submitting to a vote of the registered
electors of the City of Englewood a proposed amendment to Article I, Section 12, of the Englewood Home Rule
Charter pertaining to Elections . She explained that this was the item we discussed at Study Session last week . We
are trying to correct an election timing problem that was created when TABOR was passed. TABOR provides for
an election on the first Tuesday in November of odd-numbered years . Our Charter states that our general municipal
elections will be held biennially in November on the first Tuesday after the first Monday . We have a conflict in
2005 and 2011, whereas there is no Monday preceding the first Tuesday and we would end up having to hold our
regular election a week after the County's coordinated election . Holding an election a week later creates a lot of
administrative issues that would make that very difficult. The Election Commission recommends passage of this
ordinance, she said.
Mayor Garrett asked if Council had any questions for Ms. Ellis . There were none .

(ii) Director Ross prescnled a recommendation from the Department of Public Worb to
adopt a bill for an ordinance authorizing an l111ergovemmetllal Apecmelll with the City of Littleton for the purchase
of the "Herbertson" propeny for the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatmelll Plant. He said that 35 years qo.
we entered into a lease with the Herbertson family for about 17 .9 acres of land. where the Bi -Ci ty Administration,
the Englewood Servicenter and the Colorado Humane Society building sit. It was a very favorable lease for those
35 years. but, unfonunately. according to the terms of that, if we renewed it at the end of the next 35 ~ period,
they would own all the buildings and there are tens of millions of dollars of infrastructure there . Staff recommended
and, City Council conc urred . that, while we were in kind of a favorable ituation, we should see if we could
negotiate the purchase of that property . Time was on our side. and the person who conuolled it was in his so· s and
he decided he wou ld like to get a fair llJllOUnt of cash and be able to use it, instead of turning it over to his successors
a.nd heirs. So. we made the deal and we are now here to finalize the purchase of the southern 8.8 acres of the
propeny that is going to be used for the Wastewater Administration Treatment activities. If yoo have any questions .
I would be glad to answer them. he said .
Council Member Bradshaw asked if this tics everything up . Director Ross said yes . Ms . Bradshaw said lhi i the
final one . Mr . Ross said yes .

Question to sell or transfer property owned by the Englewood Water and Sewer Utilities to the Cities of Englewood
and Littleton for use by the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Englewood Servicentcr. He
said in July of 1973, the cities of Littleton and Englewood entered into an agreement to operate and jointly own the
Wastewater Treatment facility . This agreement calls for the City of Englewood to take the lead in all property
purchases and then the City of Littleton is to reimburse us 50% of all our expenses thereafter. Well, portions of the
property that have been acquired, were acquired with funds used by the Sewer Fund, as well as the Water Utility .
Because of the Charter, we need to have a vote of the people in order to complete those transfers . So we arc asking
you to pass this ordinance, submitting this to a vote.
Mayor Garrett asked if there were any questions for Mr . Ross. There were none.

(a) Mayor's Choice
Council Members Barrentine, Moore, Bradshaw, Garrett, Wolosyn,
Yurchick, Tomasso
None
Mayor Garrett did not have any matters to bring before Council.
(b) Council Members' Choice
(i) Council Member Barrentine:
I . She said I want to thank Lieutenant Collins for addressing several complaints that I got about noise
revolving around the marching band activities at the High School. Everybody was very happy with his comments
and. apparently. he did a very good job because they didn't feel the need to come tonight They wen: very
complimentary of him and hopefully we can address this next year so that it doesn't go quite so late at night.
2 . She said thanks to Jerrell Black and his staff for a very successful public opening of Pirates Cove.
(ii) Council Member Moore said I just have a general comment. I don't know how we ended
up so deep in this issue tonight . The whole dog park issue has been deferred to be handled in a more logical.
thoughtful process. The discussion tonight should have been just to draw up a process ... do we need to act quickly
or not? It is frustrating that we arc back to debating all of the fundamental issues of the dog park when wc have
already. as a Council, realized that we have dedicated so much time to that and that we need to move on and allow it
to work through different channels. I am not sure how we can control it. 1 am not sure what stepS need to be taken
or what we need to focus on. Do we need to act in an expedient manner because of the drought or not? But for the
rest of it, this is not the process wc agreed to deal with . It is taking up a lot of time that this Council needs to be
pending on other matters. So I just wanted to express that opinion. I would like to see it somehow handled in a
more structured manner than we appear to be heading towards ... again . Thank you . He said I have one question. If
we are not voting next time with respect to the drought .. .! know I don't need to see the issue put on the agenda, so I
don't know if we would at least want to revisit whether or not wc want to put this on the agenda next week . I am not
hearing the Parks Department recommcndin1 that wc take ac tion right now because of the droupit issue . And if
they arc not recommending it, then I don't know why wc would need to be talkin1 about it at the next Study Session.
So I' II at least throw that out. .. that there is a majority that would rather just not see it voted on.
Council Member Yurchick said I thought we had agreed that it wasn't the droupt, but that it was the wear and tear
and that water and the drought was a separate issue ... from talking to Dave .
Council Member Moore said that is why I feel we don't need to vote on it. Rellectin1 more on Dave's commcnlS.
the Par ks Department 1s not pushing for an immediate solution. If they aren 't pushina for an illllllediale IOlwon.
then let"s let thi s thing play out the way wc have already decided that it would . That i my opinion. he wet-

Council Member Barrentine said bu1 the Parks and Recrca1ion Board, made up of citizens and neighbors of this
community, are malting that recommendation and Dave did have some supporting issues that he brought up and it
made me think we ought to address it.
Council Member Moore said when you first joined Council, one of the very valuable things that I think you did, if I
recall correctly, was trying to make sure we focused on the issues. And, that is what I would just suggest. Yes, the
Commission raised the issue, but it is too big of an issue to try to get it done this quickly and in this manner. I have
said enough.
Council Member Barrentine said we did ask for some additional information and we had one of our Boards make a
recommendation. I just think we should follow through and at least hear the additional information from them.
Council Member Moore said I think we just have a lot of people stirred up.
Council Member Wolosyn said I would like to point out that the Committee that we did appoint to deal with part of
this issue asked us to postpone, not to disregard, that recommendation. I think that postponing is consistent and not
disrespectful .
But, Council Member Bradshaw said, I think the Task Force has mudded their waters. They asked for direction a
month ago, as they didn't know what they were really supposed to be doing. My concern is that if it is an issue, I
would like staff to say ... it is a drought issue ... and tell us that, instead of the illusion that it is.
Mayor Garrett said my concern ... and I go to John's point. . .is that we did this very quickly last fall . Okay things
happened and turned on a dime. If I was a person who enjoyed off-leash privileges, and I'm not. but I would be
very skittish of what this Council could do. And I would show up at every meeting. at every opportunity and talk all
day long. I think that is the conditioning that we set for ourselves last year. Now, we can talk about the drought, but
you say. we arc going to suspend your privileges. Well we shut Bates Logan down in one meeting, without them
really knowing that we were about to do that. So. I would be here if I were them. The other issue I have is with the
Commission. They did not ask for a recommendation. or even input, from the Department before that happened.
They had a few citizens show up. make some comments and the person that talked about the condition of the park
was actually one of the members who voted against the resolution. That is one reason why I think we should have
more input and more delay. When we had the Study Session though, there were four people on Council who would
like 10 put it on the agenda. That is the will of the four. To me that is enough and we should.put ii on the agenda
and talk about it .
Council Member Moore said absolutely. I was just curious if any of those four had changed their minds during the
night. Council Member Yurchick said convince me.
Co uncil Member Barrentine said speaking for myself, I am still going to stick with wanting to have the information.
We have stewardship over this asset for the City and if there is a concern or problem, I want 10 know what the issues
arc . And to address what you said ... it was always going 10 happen. What happened last time .. .Jason was always
going 10 be on the table this spring. I think everybody knew that. And the other side will be here next time and they
will go back and forth again. umil a firm decision is made one way or another . Unless, there an no more
problems ... unless 1herc is no more odor and there is no more contention and there is no more yelling between the
groups. That is why the leash issue happened in the first place. The City didn't have a leash law and there were
concerns and problems. We don't try to be proactive in those ways, we try to address the concerns that the people
are bringing here. I am sorry. I knew when I got on this Council that this was not going to go away. I wish that it
had and that Jason Park wasn't an issue. People predicted that it would when Bates Lopn closed. But. it is not
something that is going 10 go away and a much as I would like 10 stick my head in the sand, it is not aoing to help
anything . So. I believe that the ocher side and ocher opinions will be expressed at our next mccting u well .
Council Member Moore said 10 your point Doug. we set oursclve up for it last fall . We had discussions about that •
... c realized the effect tha1 it had. There 1111 might be certain thinp that we cuukl do 10 reauuR the public of what
our procc i aoing to be on thi matter. If we an: dl\"ing back into thi , then let's clcckle and let ' do it and let's at

least talk about how we arc going to do it, to ma lee it effective. I don't want the battle to be ... sec who can run the
longest filibuster on the topic. If we arc going to do it, if we arc diving into this, then let's do it right.
Council Member Wolosyn said that is what I tried to say at Council tonight and there arc other facts that we have
never really looked at ... other possible solutions. It is a big picture and that is how I feel it should be looked at.
Saying the parks should be closed to dogs because of drought, is the same as the decision to not have athletics from
other municipalities during the drought. It is not dealing with the dog issue. If it is going to be perceived as dealing
with the dog issue, I would like to deal with it up front and I think that takes more than a couple of weeks.
Council Member Tomasso said the same thing happened at the beginning of soccer season. The parks were closed
for pre-practices to prevent damage to the parks. The last time I was in Jason Park was mid-May at the end of
soccer season and the ground looked really stressed at that point. It is getting hotter. It was really hot today. My
grass, no matter how much water I put on it, looks stressed and nobody walks on it. So I am thinking this is not a
dog issue, it is a stress issue, it is the drought issue and that was a recommendation that came from the Board.
Mayor Garrett said if wc banned athletics, that is the same as banning off-leash privileges. If you are going to limit
off-leash privileges, when we limit athletic activity, that is a different solution. Which means you say that on these
days, we will have an off-leash program and on these day• we will not have an off-leash program. That is a
limitation as opposed to a ban. I think that is what I am hearing a lot of ... don't ban us.
Or, Council Member Tomasso said, we limit the number of parents that can go to T-ball. You arc only allowed two
parents to keep down the wear and tear on the grass. It is either that or we put more water into the park.
Council Member Bradshaw said waler is not going to solve it. This is a chance for this Council to finally SCI
guidelines that everyone knows about. Ms. Wolosyn said about what ... about the drought? Ms. Bradshaw said
about whether wc arc going to allow off-leash after dark, whether we arc going to do odd/even days. There have
been a lot of good ideas presented tonight. What about off-leash at night and before 9 a.m. There arc a lot of
different ways you can do this.
Council Member Wolosyn said then that is different than voting on the recommendation from Parks and Recreation.
Council Member Bradshaw said the information that Parks and Recreation had at that time, and one of the people
who voted against it, even agreed that this park was stressed.
Council Member Barrentine said I didn't hear anybody on Council say they wanted to vole or not vote on the
drought issue. I think we asked for some additional information. My stewardship of our assets of this City come
first and if I've got people who, in their professional opinion. believe that we need to do something for that park to
preserve our assets. then I would like lo hear that information. That is all I have asked for. I never said what I
wanted to do with the dog park. I guess the fact that it is being referred to as a dog park has already led us into
where we arc headed. But that is separate from what was brought up tonight. with our recommendation from the
Parks and Recreation Commission and the comments that were made by the Slaff. That is a separate issue:. It will
happen anyway. but it is a separate i uc for me.
So. Council Member Wolosyn said, when we vole next week it will be couched in terms ... because of drought.
Mayor Garrett said no. it is going to be couched in terms of, do we wanc to suspend privileges. We have a
recommendation. we will receive information and each Council member will make their own decision.
Council Member Wolosyn said wasn't the recommendation from Parks and Recreation about the droupt?
Council Member Barrentine said I didn't even know that we said -would VOie. I thoup1 that the issue would be
brought back and you asked for it not 10 be voted on the first time it was brouJht up.
Mayor Garren said it ... ,11 be an qcnda item that people can voce on or not voee on. And the way I look II it. each
Council member will make their own decision as IO why they are Ylllina the way they do . It may be droqhl relaled
or II may be related to wrneth1na cl Tilll I a Council member choice.

Council Member Bradshaw said we have a Parks and Recreation meeting this Thursday. I will ask for verification.
Council Member Yurchick said I don't care if we vote the 21", but I'm just tired of messing with it and I want it to
come to a conclusion one way or the other.
Council Member Bradshaw said it is time for us to say, we will have off-leash privileges in these parks on odd
numbered days. I mean it is time for us to say ... look we tried the pilot program with everything open. Now we
have recommendations from people out here saying, we want to work with you . We don't want to lose the
privileges and the Task Force is not going to do that.
Council Member Wolosyn said maybe some of us want just one dog park centrally located. Maybe I'm wrong, but I
feel that if we want to deal with this issue in a final way, it has to be in a larger context. Ms. Bradshaw said how do
we do that? Ms . Wolosyn said apparently there arc two locations that they consider viable, so we postpone a
decision until we hear what they say about the two locations and we see what Parks and Recreation says. I am not
against considering some son of community use. But I would probably want fences or maybe two or three hours in
the morning. It is a big issue . If it is not going to be divisive, we all have to decide ways so that everyone can have
a little of something. I feel that we have been in a reactive mode .
Mayor Garrett said we have asked for additional information dealing with the drought issue, which I think is
important. We will put that on the Study Session. When we come to the meeting. any Council member who decides
to move something forward can, as we always have that opportunity during Council Members Choice. Council
Member Moore said we like to give warning. but we will just count this as fair warning. Mr. Garrett said everyone
knows we arc going to be talking about this next week ... we have announced this ... but we will focus in on the
drought issue and get the information dealing with that.
Council Member Bradshaw said at the Parks and Recreation meeting Thursday night, I will ask for clarification.
(iii) Council Member Tomasso said tomorrow night the Summer Reading program: Camp
Englewood Activities will be in the CityCcnter Plaza. It is from 6 :30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m .• with camp fm: songs. hot
dogs. a parade and clown.
(iv) Council Member Yurchick said for some reason the ACE tMCtina has been cancelled the
last two months in a row. I would like to find out what is goina on. It just said it was cancelled this week with no
reason whether there was quorum or not or if they are having problems.
City Manager Scars said I will get back to Council and let you know.
(v) Council Member Wolosyn said Bill Clayton. who is associated with the House of Hope.
called me. The House of Hope received a $50,000.00 grant from the Daniels Fund to replace all the windows in the
building and also to build a handicapped accessible bathroom on the main floor . As wOfk has propessed. prices
have escalated and he thinks they are going to be out of budaet and he called and asked ... and then followed up with
a letter. which I have given to the Mayor ... for us to consider waiving the permit fees for the windows project and
the handicapped accessible bathroom. I am bnnging it forth to Council. I don't have any objection. even though I
do n't have a figure for the permits. I guess I would like to have the amounts that it would c06I. bul on the face of
it... wc have a pretty good partnership with that oraanization and I think they provide a needed l«Vil;e, in a YCry
c ommunity building manner. If wc can help them. I ask my fellow Council people to do so. But I think that.
probabl y. to really co n ider thi . we need the amount of the permit fees .
City Manager Sears said I guess I have a question about that . They are in the process of finalizina that permit in an
expeditious fash ion and if we onsider thi s in two weeks. I don't know if that i aoina to be fast enoup .
Co unc il Member Wo losyn said Bill told me the window ,.-ere already in or they arc in the proccas of pultin, thelll
in and he to ld the contractor to pay the fen. So, he may be look1n1 II a reunbursc-ouncd Member Bradlllaw
s id that is different. Ms. Wolosyn said I don't kno,. ifthccontraetor paid the fees

Mayor Garrett said he probably couldn't pull the permit unless he paid the fee .
City Manager Scars said I guess the question is should we stay the fee and they won't pay it and we don 't require
them to pay it until we meet on the 21 11
• Then if, at that meeting, you decide they have to pay it, then they arc going
to be obligated to pay it. Is that acceptable to the Council?
Council Member Wolosyn said that sounds good . That is really the only thing we can do.
Council Member Bradshaw said Mr. Clayton knows how the'pennits work.
City Manager Scars said we will bring this back to Council, but we will keep the project moving. Ms. Wolosyn said
thank you .

There were no scheduled visitors.
7. Unscheduled Vlslton
(a) Cyndi Krieger, 2987 South Cherokee Street, said I was reading the City Council minutes from
April 1911, and you were discussing the Concrete Utility. I am one of the homeowners that opled out and I was
noticing that you said when you opt back in, you have to pay for all years that you have not been in since they
started the utility. And, she noted, if you were out for twenty years that could be a lot. They said that some
homeowners have been asked to opt back in prior to a sale. If the concrele has to be up to snuff by the time you opt
back in, then ii is not fair that you should have to pay for services you did not receive for all those yean when you
opted out I think you should look at changing that, if what I understood from the minutes is correct. Because, if
you were out for twenty years and you had to opt back in, you are paying for services you did not receive and I don't
think that is right . Thank you .
Mayor Garrett thanked Ms. Krieger. If you stay until the end of the meeting, I will be glad lo address that issue. he
said .

Ayes : Council Members Barrentine, Bradshaw, Garrett. Wolosyn. Yurchick, Tomasso
Nays : None
Absent : Council Member Moore
Motion carried .
Mayor Garren presented the proclamation to Sergeant John Knoth .
Sergeant Knoth said I am with the Department of Safety Services Traffic Enforcement Team and I wanted to thank
you for this proclamation. I recently became involved as our Coordinator for the Special Olympics Colorado and as
part of that I am still learning. This was just a few months ago, so I am still learning everything that is involved with
it. The torch run itself is the largest portion of the fund raising for the Special Olympics Colorado. It serves not
only the athletes that participate, but also their families. It gives them a chance to really experience an awful Jot of
things that a lot of these people wouldn't be able to otherwise . When I say people, it is not just kids . I think a lot of
times we think that Special Olympics is just for the kids, but it is not. I believe they actually have one 82 year old
athlete . It is quite a benefit to the families that wouldn 't be able to afford the experience that a lot of these people
get through Special Olympics. We arc going to do a torch run ... the torch run will actually bypass Englewood . It
will come to our eastern border on June 3n1 . I have prepared a letter, as a way of explanation and information for all
of you and also an invitation to come out and watch the torch as it passes by our City. Right now we have four
runners that arc signed up to participate in that and hopefully by June 3n1 I may have some man: runners. But, that is
how they raise the money for the Special Olympics. There is a $25.00 fee for the runners and any sponsors or
pledges that they can pick up along the way goes to help the Special Olympics also. If anybody has any questions,
feel free to give me a call . I think I left my number in there. If not, you know where to find me. We would like to
sec as many people out there as we can in support of our runners. Director Olson will be running in L'ic torch run
with three other officers. It is for law enforcement personnel only, but we would like to make a good show this year.
Thank you very much . •
Council Member Barrentine said thank you for your involvement and congratulations. 'There was applause.

(ii) Director Simpson presented a recommendation from the Department of Community
Development to adopt a bill for an emergency ordinance authorizing temporary suspension of sections of the
Englewood Municipal Code pertaining to allowed hours and days of operation of Farmers Markets in the City of
Englewood. He said before you tonight is an emergency ordinance requesting a temporary suspension of
enforcement of Englewood Municipal Code 16-5-5 (E) (2) (c) relating IO temporary use in the new Uniform
Development Code. We arc, as you may be aware, going to be having a summer Farmers Market here at CityCcnter
Englewood. It will be operating as proposed in the contract between the Englewood Environmental Foundation and
the vendor, Platte River Markets . We will be operating on Saturday and Thursday evenings. Our UDC only
provides for Farmers Markets to be operated one day a week, on Saturdays, between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 2 :00
p.m. What this docs, is it prevents this particular contract from being able to be implemented, due to the Thursday
night aspect. We noted that when we implemented the UDC that there may be illSWJCCS where we may have to
amend it and this is just one of those times . We arc requesting that you approve this emergency ordinance on first
reading tonight and we will have a second reading on the 7* of June . If all is approved by Council, the Thursday
night Farmers Market will begin on June 17*.

Council Member Moore
Mayor Garrett said I just would like to thank Lieutenant Collins for his memo addressing the concerns that came up
al the last community meeting. I appreciate the time and effort that took. It was quite helpful.
(b) Council Members' Choice
(i) Council Member Wolosyn:
I . She said I did like your memo. It was informative and you even let us know more than wc knew was II
hand . I like that .
2. She said this morning I had the privilege of meeting with Bob Simpson, Harold Stitt and Julie Haines of the
Louis Berger Group. This is the group that sponsored Harold's trip to India. where he broupd what we know to
their projects. It was really informative and inspiring, because she made it clear that the lhings that happen in the
United States, successful projects like this that are innovative, really have an effect far away in the world and give
developing countries the incentive to try these projects. She said that a number of times and wc all agreed that it
would be good to continue the relationship in the future .
3. She said I want 10 thank Council for the sponsorship of the KEB foursomes.
4. She said it came up at the last meeting that some of the information in the Code Enforcement Oyer is
probably misleading and it happens to be italized in the second section under screening, "Any screened vehicles
shall not be visible from adjacent properties and public rights-of-way." This isn't really consiSICnt with Council's
agreement not to alter our current fencing, which is 6 feet. So. I think maybe we need something to say that the
current fencing ordinance is adequate to meet screening. I think wc need to do as much as wc can to mitiptc.
Council Member Bradshaw said we weren't even going to deal with the fencing at that time.
Council Member Yurchick said I thought we agreed on 6 feet. which is aood enou&h covcrqe. Both Ms. Bradshaw
and Ms . Wolosyn said that is right.
But, Council Member Bradshaw said, that isn't how it has been enfon:cd, to my undentandina.
(i i) Council Member BUTentine said I Wini to thank Stu Fonda for the tour lbal -lOOk of
the B1 -C1 ty Plant and the Water Plant. I wanted to also thank Bill McCormick. over at the Water Plant. be did an
excellent Job and Greg Fanner III the Bi-City Plant who also gave the praentation they bad aiven to the people 6om

Rwandan . He had even spruced it up since then. It was absolutely fantastic and a lot of work and effort went into
that. So thanlc you, she said, it was well worth it.
(iii) Council Member Bradshaw:
I . She said kudos to staff for the excellent Citizen of the Year program last week. Please pass that on .
2 . She said the South Suburban Parle Foundation has run into a little bit of a problem with Big Dry Creek. If
we finish that segment on the south end of Big Dry Creek. we still need to address the rip-rapping that needs to go
on the north side. Mr. Lee said rip-rapping means rock that stops erosion. Ms. Bradshaw said it is on hold until we
can get the additional funds from Urban Drainage, because we don't want to put in all this new stuff and then have
them traipse over ii to go to the other side. So, that is on hold right now.
3. She said we have an odd situation in my neighborhood and I talked to Gary about this. We had a fox kit
that was paralyzed on the hill down from my house. Something is killing the foxes in that area, because they are
finding fox parts. I thought foxes were pretty tenacious, but something paralyzed the little kit 1<> it couldn't move. I
called Colorado Human. They said they don't do anything unless it is dead. I called the Wild Life and they said
they were under funded so nobody could come out. So, the neighbors and I kept putting water on this kit to help it
feel comfortsble, but it was dying and nobody would come out ... no one. Then once it died we took it to the Human
Society and they took care of the body, but this was a horrible thing for these kids. There were 10 little kids there.
The adults were running around trying to figure out what we can do. I called the Englewood Police, they said they
didn't do that. Code Enforcement wasn't available . I called Dispatch again to see if that is really what they meant.
Then I called the Colorado Wild Life and called the Humane Society while other neighbors were calling other
people so they probably got 50 calls from our neighborhood at the same time, but it was a real ltreslful situation for
the kids watching that. And, I don '1 lcnow what we can do when it is wild life.
Mr. Lee said we are running into the same problems out al the Golf COlne and in the Pub. Typically, I found
none of those agencies are willing to help or assist because they are undermanned and uadentaffed. Tbe only thing
I can suggest in the future would be any form of animal rescue. Ms. Bradshaw said I called the racue guys and Ibey
asked if it was dead . I said no and they said when it is dead they will come and get the body. She said that is not die
problem. Mr . Lee said Animal Rescue? Wow, that has not been my experience in the pat. Ms. Bnidlbaw said this
was a Saturday. Mr . Lee said some of them are good and IODIC of them aren't. Maybe a vetcrimrian?
But anyway. Ms . Bradshaw said, I think we have a mountain lion. Could we have aomedling runniq in the creek
like that? Mr . Lee said coyotes will also kill foxes, when they are in the same tcrrilOry. Ms. Bradlbaw said in
town ... would they be that far in? Mr. Lee said yes. they will follow any of the riparian waterways. Ms. Bradshaw
said if something is down there, what would we have to do? Call you and say there is aomedling running in Big Dry
Creek killing foxes?
Mr. Lee said I don 't know that any of the agencies will respond to somethina like that. We have seen that bcfofe
with pretty much anything other than maybe if a deer has been hit. They will come out for something larger , but
geese , any of those things , raccoons ... they don't tend to care I guess.
Ms. Bradshaw said yes . we had a raccoon electrocuted and it just hung there until Xcel came over. It wu awful .
13 . City Manqer's Report
(a) Ci1y Manager Sears said just to remind Council that next week we ue II the Malley Cemer . We

My name is Jane Coleman, and I live at 3901 South Galapago, Englewood,
C~b:-:!do. l a."?l here tonight to speak with you regarding the off leash
privileges in the Englewood Parle system.
There are several items that I would like to point out to you. Having lived
in Englewood for forty-some years and also being a busines owner and
manager for many of those years, I have seen many changes over the years
here in Englewood.
1. PARKS IN ENGLEWOOD. Until the past three years dogs were
allowed to walk off leash throughout the City. The City at about that time
designated that all dogs must be ON LEASH if anywhere but their own
property; or the designated off leash parks in Englewood. Jason Park was
among 4 parks, plus a greenbelt, that were designated off leash parks for
dogs. ,
The rest is history and you are well aware of the closing of Bates Logan.
However, previous to the designated areas for off leash. the Canadian geese
were able to run rampant wherever they wanted; and they particularly loved
Jason Park. You could go to Jason any time of the day or night llld you
would find huge flocks of geese. They loved to feed on the pasaes. And,
with huge flocks of geese, comes huge piles of gooee poop! It WIS
everywhere! It WIS impossible to walk anywhere in the park due to the
green, slimy droppings of the geese. The geese particularly loved the open,
grassy area of the soccer fields!
Who got the blame for this? There was no one to blame.
But with the onset of the off leash dogs, the geese decided they would fly to
another place and relinquish the grassy park to the dogs. Proof of the geese
and what they leave behind -just look at Centennial Park, anodler one of
Englewood's current off leash parks that is hardJy used.
At Jason, the condition of the soccer areas llld the baeball ..... are peat!
The grass is green; there are no bare spoll. Yhe off'lealb dos owners have

The dog owners have cleaned up the parks, held clean up parties, educated
the members of the off leash groups the necessity and priority of picking up
behind their dogs and any other irresponsible owner that used the park. I
would venture to say that the park is cleaner now than ever.
The off leash groups even clean up every Monday morning behind the
weekend picnicers and park party groups!
2. USE OF THE PARK. With Denver opening up five official off leash
parks, the usage at Jason Park has been cut drastically. Many of the south
Denver people used to come to Englewood and use our park system. Now.:,-
they have their own, and the park usage is way down. It is rare that yod't'l;e
large numbers of dogs and owners that once were using the park.
3. POLICING OF THE PARK. The off leash groups have taken a strict eye
to the drug business that WAS prevalent in the Englewood Parle System.
With so many eyes available to report suspicious drug activity; and with the
use of cell phones, wherever the drug dealers have gone, they are not in
Jason Park!
We used to see people using the park for sleeping at night. This has all but
been wiped out.
4. NOT IN MY BACKYARD. This is a particular complaint of people
living adjoining the park. ~wever, the park is fenced. And, with that
fence, that makes the pari(,as much in MY backyard as anyone adjoining the
park. Neighbors living around Jason have no more proprietary voices due
to their proximity to the park, than say, I do and I live 5 blocks away!
People as a general rule, are adverse to change. With the advent of legal off
leash in the four parks (plus the greenbelt) it was natural for some people to
say, "No, I want things like they used to be." But we must move with the
times, and times have changed.
5. USE OF THE PARK. Children are no longer able to safely play in parks
unsupervised. With mothers and fathers having to work to supply the
necessities for the children, a television has become their babysitter and
children are in front of the television playing Nintendo and other television
games. We can not designate areas based on what we USED TO DOI The

numbers of children have dropped drutically over the past ten years; with
proof of this in that two years ago Englewood schools laid off 26 teachers in
our school system.
More lay-offs are in the works, with a continual drop in~. and
thusly a drop in Federal funding. There is no need to have teachers if the
children aren't there, and there is no need to reserve parks for children who
are not there!
6. COMPROMISE. The off leash groups have said repeatedly that they
were willing to compromise. Put a compromise on the table; and let's come
to some sort of an agreement. Get a mediator if necasary. The Off Leah
Task Force was a start; and we need to continue with our efforts to use the
parks systems to its maximum. Please don't shut the door on us. Let's
continue to look for ways that the off leah groups can continue with their
use of the park privileges.
Thank you for hearing my thinking. If you will allow us to continue to
work together, rm sure we can come up with somediin& that will suit the
( majority of the people. Thank you.

Dear Mayor and Town Council Members :
Susan M. Pacek
4249 S. Lincoln Street
Englewood, CO 80113
(303) 783-2510
As the Comprehensive Planning Manger for the Town of Parker, I understand that to every
controversial issue such as off-leash dog areas , there are a multitude of issues that need to be
considered in order for elected officials to make an informed and proactive decision that
affects the constituents of their community.
This time, I find myself personally involved in an issue within my own community. As a resident of
Englewood , I would like to express my support for providing off-leash dog areas within our parks .
The public open space management environment has changed dramatically in the last twenty
years. The range of activities in which people are engaged has expanded while budgets and
resources have contracted. There is now much more emphasis on efficiency and improved
management. Many Councils, such as yourselves, are grappling with making a judgment on
how to accommodate the growing recreational uses of our parks .
I would like to stress the importance of striving to be equitable and responsive to the voice of all
of your constituents. According to the Parks and Recreation Department of the City and County
of Denver, 35% of Colorado homeowners own at least one dog. Using 2000 population statistics,
that translates to 5, 165 households in Englewood who have dogs1• One of the goals of the
recently adopted Comprehensive Plan, otherwise known as "Roadmap Englewood", states
that the Town will "provide sufficient parks and recreation facilities to serve the needs of
Englewood citizens by encouraging a variety of park classifications". It is difficult to achieve
such a goal when a substantial user base may not be accommodated if all parks are closed to
off-leash areas.
Off-leash dog parks offer a multitude of opportunities for dogs and their owners alike. Such
commu nity benefits include:
• Socializes and exercises dogs in a safe environment: A well socialized and exercised dog
is less likely to develop behavior problems such as aggression or barking
• Provides an opportunity for people to interact and get to know other community
members while participating in an activity that they enjoy with their pets
• Pro 't'i des elderly and disabled owners with an accessible and safe place to exercise their
dogs
• Provides a safe environment for outdoor dog obedience classes
• Removes unwanted elements, such as crime and loitering, from elsewhere in the park
through dog owner supervision
I om also aware that there are community drawbacks; however, there are restrictions that can
be developed to mitigate these valid concerns (e.g .. limiting hours, distribution of dog activities
1 The 2000 U.S. Census sta tes the population of Englewood in 2000wos 31 ,727 . The Englewood
Comprehensive Plan states that the household size in 2000 was 2.15. This translates to 14 ,757 households .
35% of th is is 5 l 65.

..
so no one park is overburdened, community based organizations to develop clean up days,
etc). Numerous communities adjacent to Englewood and throughout the country are taking
active steps toward accommodating for off-leash dog recreation. In February of this year,
Denver opened five off-leash dog areas within existing parks . According to Britta Herwig ,
Denver's Parks Planning project manager for the Dog Off Leash Pilot Program, none of the initial
fears related to health and safely voiced by the opposition have been realized. She further
added that the program has been su c c e ssful thus far. Other communities such as Highlands
Ranch have also implemented successful programs .
Council has recently taken a positive step toward developing a win-win solution by appointing
a Task Force to study this issue. I understand from Jerrell Black, that the Task Force is close to
finalizing a recommendation. I also understand that Council needs to respond to the petition
recently submitted by the residents adjacent to Jason Park as well as the recommendation from
the Parks and Recreation Commission to temporarily ban the off-leash parks program.
I believe that Town Council would like to provide a community where the needs of all of its
constituents are met. Maintaining the Task Force to its fruition is a way to achieve this success.
In summary, I respectfully request that Council postpone a decision to close all parks to off-leash
activity until a formal recommendation, which is forthcoming, is submitted by the Task Force. At
that point, Council would have the necessary information for making an informed decision
based upon the input from the various parties vested in this issue.
As a professional planner, I believe I could be of assistance with this effort and am happy to
help in anyway.
I have put my comments in writing to you because; unfortunately. I will not be able to attend
your June 7 hearing date due to a work conflict (I am presenting to Town Council in Parker as
the staff planner on two projects).
Thank you for listening to all of your constituents and in striving to reach a win-win solution.
Respectfully,
Susan M . Pacek
June 7, 2004
To whom it may concern:
I have lived in Englewood now for 7 1/2 years. During the last several years, I have been
blessed by being able to go to a park with my dog off leash. I have thoroughly enjoyed
being able to do that and get a great deal of enjoyment out of seeing other dogs at the
park, as well. In my opinion, the ofT~leasb parks are as much for the people as they are
for the dogs.
Thus I find it pretty disturbing to learn that even though dog owners are in the majority in
Englewood, the off-leash privilege may disappear because of a few who do not want
parks utilized in such a way . Some of the people who are fighting this do not even use
the parks; they simply do not want dogs to be loose . Others have made up their minds to
be against dog parks because they do not like dogs. It bothers me to think I may be
represented on the city council by a person who would not consider my desires because
they are not the same as hers .
I recognize that there are risks with off-leash dogs, just as there are risks with everything
in life. I sincerely hope that the City tan find some way to accommodate dog owners
who enjoy using the parks with their dogs, just as it accommodates people who play
softball, soccer, basketball, etc. I am sure there is a way that we can all share.
Thank you.

Dear City Council Member:
Off.lealll pula beaeflt al people wllo live la Eapwood-aot jat dcJI awaen-alld I arp yoa to
mallltal• tlleir off.lealll stata.
Off-leash parks help make dogs good citizens oftbc communjty. Based on my personal observation of my
own clop, I would like you to consider the following bmefns of maintaining (if not expanding) the
availability of off-leash parks for the sake of all Englewood citizens.
My dop bark less at home than my neighbors' clop who do QOI patronize off-lcash pub. I believe that
this is because my dogs have used up energy at the dog park that would otherwise be spm barking for
attention. On the few days that I am unable to take my dogs to an off-leash puk, my dogs tend to be more
vocal in the yard u they look for distractiom and ways to emcrtain themselves . By 111tmqjzin1 off-leash
parks rqularly. 1 am bcin1 considerate of my qcjghbon' needs for pace and qujcL UQllUTUllted by
barkin1 clop.
My dog respond •QPl'OJ)riately and predjctablY to oew people u4 oew dop ao ,,,.. we lbpy ue
cncouplCrCd, By exposing my dogs to other clop and people in the sanc:tioned seaina of u off'-leuh dog
park, I have gotten to know my dogs' behavior in new situations and I mve become bater able IO read my
dogs' behavior. My dogs have grown accustomed to seeing new clop and people. This apollft hu
helped my dogs to imcnct politely with adults, children, and other clop in situadom away from the off.
leash parks-such u walking on-leash around my EflBlewood neipborhood. In short, my clop do not
"freak out" when they see another dog or a penon in their immediate area; they do DOI behave in ways
that alarm other clop, chilchn, or adults. By ""9PiziN the off-lwb dot pub. I COdiw to nhc my
dog fit to meet other people and clop on the sarem of Englewood.
In summary. otT-lcuh parks help make clop BQOd cjtilPII o{lhc eogpuaily. I would comcnd that weH-
exercised and well-socialized dogs-and this means the ability to nm and play off-leash in open space-
bark less at their homes and are less rambunctious around people and dop in all sdtinp, DOI just at the
off-leash park. This potentially creates quieter Englewood neipborhoods and friendlier encoun&ers on the
streets with others in the Englewood community .
Additionally , I would like to make myself available to council members and others in the cOl'IIIIIWlity to
discuss this matter. Do not hesitate to telephone me at 303-717-8111 or ema il me at
kbroadwat er@comcast.net .

The off-leash parks in Englewood are an essential part of our community and I urge you
to keep them off-leash. Through Englewood's off-leash parks, I have met others from my
neighborhood as well as from other parts of the Englewood community. The benefits of
off-leash parks are for our dogs as well as for the people. Our dogs are able to get the
exercise they need and socialize with other dogs, resulting in well-behaved and publicly
safe dogs. The dog owners are able to meet and socialize with other members of the
community. For many of us, we have created wonderful friendships and have met more
people from our neighborhoods through these off-leash parks.
In addition to exercising our dogs, we have monthly social functions and park clean-up
days that are organized through the multiple fonnal groups that have been created to
address the needs of off-leash parks and the users' enjoyment. Those ofus who use these
parks value their importance and are responsible dog owners. We are strict to enforce
waste pick up and keeping our dogs froDJ the parks' other patrons, as we are aware of
others who use these parks as well.
Taking away our off-leash privileges will remove an important part of the Englewood

This letter is again to address the no leash law that affects Jason Park. As you know from
our conversations we are very concerned about the condition of the park and the increase
of animals in the park. The traffic starts at 6 a m and aces until ,w:ll after dark, !Ome u
late as 1 t :00 pm... The park is an extension of our back yards. as there is no buffer zone
between the park and the fi:nce. The majority of the clop are let out ll the northeast end
of the park, alona the fence and, of course. the dogs urinate on the me. plus all the
trees, bushes and the trash barrel that is placed in this area fur their fecal deposits. With
the dry conditions of the park we have an offensive odor caused by the dogs and was
that are beat completely down to the dirt along with the owner's ciprette butts beina
ground into the dirt... The neighbors signing the petition have the smne complaints along
with not being able to take their clop into the park on a leash without feelina threatened
by the loose dogs. Others added the complaint that they can't just walk in the park
without being rushed by the dogs.
Do any of the Parle Commission or City Council members live in any of the areas that are
affected by this no leash law? It would be imerestina to see how much quicker this
problem would be resolved if any of them lived in one of the areas.. With the onset of
summer and the activities that are starting, this problem needs to be resolved quickly.
The Task Force has had ample time to get their recommendations to the City Council for
resolution of these problem areas.
Enclosed are signatW"eS of the people with their back yards connected to Juon Park and
surrounding area that have very serious concerns about the park's condition and ask that
this park be removed from the no leash law. The majority of these home owners have
lived in this area for well over 25 years. Aho included is an article regardina damaae
done to the grass by dog· s urine which causes concern about the llllllftltal"f conditions fur
the people that go to the park to sit on the pass. ba"YC picnics and allow their youna ones
to crawl around on the grass . A copy of the letter sent to City Council earlier in the year
is also included.
Sincerely, _ /'/'

COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
City Council reviewed this proposal to adopt the Colorado Municipal Records Retention Schedule
at the May 24, 2004 Study Session .
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve a resolution adopting the Colorado Municipal Records Retention Schedule for the City of
Englewood with the following local exceptions :
.,. Schedule 1.9 Constructjon Drawjngs and Plans · Nonresjdentjal Approved drawjngs and plans
We will comply with the International Building Code, Chapter 1, Section 106.5 retention schedule
of "one set of approved construction documents shall be retained by the building official for a
period of not less than 180 days from date of completion of the permitted work, or as required by
state or local laws.h
.,. At the current time, Information Technology (IT) records will be exempted and we will establish
our own e-mail policy.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, ANO ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The Colorado State Archives adopted the Colorado Municipal Records Retention Schedule, for
statewide use by Colorado municipalities, in September, 2001.
This Schedule has been approved by the State Attorney General and the State Archivist
Adoption of the Colorado Municipal Records Retention Schedule provides for a uniform retention
policy for all municipal records. It is an on-line comprehensive schedule for the destruction of
nonpermanent municipal records and th~ retention of municipal records of enduring and historical
val ue .
To access the schedule: Web site address : www.colorado.gov/dpa/dojt/archjyes [click on left side
bar: "Records Management Services ." Several choices will drop down, click on "Municipal Records
Management Manual." If the left side bar does not come up, go to "Text Only" on the blue bar at

COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
City Council reviewed this proposed amendment to the Charter at the May 24, 2004 Study Session .
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City Clerk's Office and the Election Commission seek Council approval of a bill for an
ordinance submitting to a vote of the registered electors of the City of Englewood, at the November
2, 2004 Election, a proposed amendment to the Home Rule Charter to address an election timing
issue. The amendment would allow the City of Englewood to conduct their elections on the same
date as set forth in State law.
When TABOR (The Taxpayer's Bill of Rights) was approved by the voters it created an election
timing problem for statutory cities and some Home Rule municipalities.
TABOR provides for an election on the Nfirst Tuesday in November of od<H1umbered years."
Englewood's Charter states that Na general municipal election shall be held on the Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, 1959, and biennially thereafter."
In 2005 and 2011 the first Tuesday in November will not be preceded by a Monday. This means
that unl ess we amend our Charter, the TABOR coordinated election will occur on the first Tuesday
of th e m onth and we would have to conduct our general municipal election a week later. This
would definitely cause election administration problems, additional cost and the Election
Commission feels it would not be in the best interest of our citizens.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
TI1is action will not have a direct financial impact on the City of Englewood.

MEMORANDUM
Clerks and Attorneys for Selected Home Rule Municipalities
Geoff Wilson, General Counsel
SUBJECT: Odd-year November Election Date Complications
DATE: May 11 , 2004
TABOR provides that ballot issues concerning. the various fiscal matters addressed in TABOR may be
submitted to voters only on specified election dates , one of which is the first Tuesday in November of
odd-numbered years. However, since well before enactment of TABOR, the home ru le charters of a
number of Colorado municipalities, as well as the staMe specifying the regular election date for
statutory cities, have provided for a regular election date on the first Tuesday succeeding the first
Monday in November of odd-numbened years. Our records indicate that your municipality is one of
approximately thirty-three in Colorado that has a charter provision defining Its regular election date as
the first Tuesday succeeding the first Monday in November of odd-numbered years .
This inconsistency between TABOR and the statutory and charter provisions has not been a practical
problem since enactment of TABOR, because, fortuitously , the first Tuesday in November of odd-
numbered years has always been preceded by a Monday. That will change in November of 2005. In
2005 (and again in November 2011) the first Tuesday in November will not be preceded by a Monday
(see back). This means that tl'fe coordinated election, conducted by the county derk on behalf of all
other j urisdictions in your county submitting TABOR issues in November of 2005 , will occur on the first
Tuesday. Then. unless something changes. staMory cities and affected home rule municipailties
would be obliged to conduct their regular elections one week later, on the following Tuesday.
Beyond the obvious iss>ues of voter confusion and apparent government inefficiency in the condud of
two elections so close together on the calendar. there are significant practical problems that may arise.
For example, many municipalities do not own their own election equipment. These municipalities utilize
equipmen t borrowed from the county clerk for conduct of their elections . It is, at best, quite unlikely that
county ek ~ equipment will be available in 2005 , as that equipment will have just been used in the
pnor wee k ~Jnductin g the coordinated election. I am told by county and municipal derks that it
takes a certain amount of time to "cle ar" this election equipment following an election , and that
municipal clerks require a certain amount of time to set up the equipment prior to their own elections.
To address this issue on behalf of s~atutory cities , the League supported legislation during the 2004
session of the General Assembly (HB 04-1340) that amended the statute defining the regular election
date for statutory cities to provide that such elections will occur on the "first Tuesday in November" of
odd-numbered years .
Our purpose in this memo is to bring to your attention the impending situation in 2005 (and again in
2011) and suggest that you consider refenring a charter amendment to your voters, in order to avoid a
problem in 2005 . Should you choose to not go the charter amendment route, at the very least we
suggest that you begin conversations with your county clerk concerning lhe availability of election
equipment for your 2005 election .
If I can provide any further information or assistance concerning this issue, please do not hesitate to
contact me here at the League .

Agenda Item: Subject:
IGA with City of Littleton for the
11 a ii Herbertson Property Purchase for the
Littleton Englewood Wastewater
Treatment Plant I Staff Source:
Ken Ross Director of Public Works
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
No formal City Council action has been taken. However City Council has given its concurrence to
enter into negotiations, and was apprised of the negotiations and possible deal points with the City
of Littleton at Executive Study Sessions in July of 2003, September of 2003, December of 2003 and
May of 2004.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve an IGA with the City of Littleton to formalize the Herbertson Property Purchase for the
Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
In 1969 the City o-f Englewood entered into a 35 year lease with the Herbertson family for 17.9
acres of land that sits between the Platte River and Santa Fe Drive just inside the City corporate
boundary to the north. That lease would have expired on March 31, 2004. According to the lease
we had the option to renew it for another 35 years, but at the end of the end of that period the
property owner would have owned all the buildings the two cities have constructed on the site.
There are tens of millions of dollars worth of assets that have been constructed on the site, and it
could have been very cost prohibitive to renew this lease and negotiate a deal later. Staff
recommended, and City Council concurred that we should negotiate for the purchase of the
property. The property owner was very motivated and the City was able to acquire the property at
$1 .62 per square foot compared to the market price of $3.00 per square foot.
The sou th ern 8.8 acre~ of the property is being used for wastewater administration and treatment
activities . In 1973, when the two cities agreed to jointly operate the wastewater treatment plant,
they also agree d that Englewood would take the lead on all land purchases and Littleton would
r eimb urse Englewoo d for 50% of all acquisition costs.
Beca use 5.2 of the 8 .8 acres were not part of the original 1973 agreement, Englewood has
r equested and Littleton has agreed to purchase that portion at market value versus Englewood's
actua l cos ts .
This means that Englewood purchased the entire 17.9 ac res for $1 .265 million. ($1 .62 per square
foot)
Bi-City will purchase th e sou th ernmost 8 .8 acres for $925,278 .59. {$2 .42 per square foot)
'
.· ..
I ·
• •
Littleton's 50% share is $462,639.30. The Sewer Fund will pay the City the balance of the amount
owed. The IGA that is proposed agrees to this amount
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This arrangement means that the City will own outright the land which the City's ServiCenter is
located and jointly own the ground where Littleton/Englewood Treatment Plant facilities are
located. This saves both cities from some difficult negotiations and costs to acquire buildings and
property in the future. And as a result of this arrangement and agreement the City will have
acquired the ServiCenter portion (9.165 acres) for $383,221.41 . ($0.99 per square foot)

Ordinance to submit to the registered voters o1
June 7, 2004 11 a iii Englewood a ballot question to transfer
properties owned by the Englewood Water
and Sewer Utilities to the Cities of Englewood
and Littleton for the Littleton/Englewood
Wastewater Treatment Plant and Englewood

Initiated By: I Staff Source:
Public Works Ken Ross Director of Public Works
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
In July of 1973 the Cities of Littleton and Englewood entered into an agreement to own and operate a
joint use waste water treatment facility. City Council authorized this contract by passing Ordinance
No. 18, Series of 1973.
City Council passed Ordinance No. 39, Series 1985, authorizing a transfer of one-half interest in the
real property at the Bi-City Treatment Plant to the City of Littleton
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve an ordinance to submit to a vote of the registered voters a ballot question to transfer
properties owned by the Englewood Water and Sewer Utilities to the Cities of Englewood and Littleton
for the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Englewood ServiCenter.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALllRNATMS IDENTIFIED
In 1973, in the original agreement between the Cities of Littleton and Englewood to create the joint
use wastewater treatment facility, it was agreed that the actual ownership of the real estate and
improvements on the site should be tenancy in common between the two cities.
When the cities entered into these agreements there was land that was owned by the Englewood
Water and Sewer Utilities that Englewood agreed to transfer one-half interest to Littleton for the Bi-City
Treatment Plant.
Now thirty years later, after development and numerous expansions of the Bi-City Treatment Plant, the
parties are prepared to do a subdivision that will define the limits of the Bi City Treatment Plant and the
Englewoo d ServiCenter. Therefore all the land that was part of the old Englewood Sewer Plant that
was owned by the City of Englewood Water and Sewer Utilities needs to be transferred in order to
accomplish this subdivision. TI1is tra!lsfer requires voter approval .

COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
The Council discussed this topic at the April 5, 2004 study session .
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff Source
Frank G ewicz Director
Staff recommends Council approve a motion to approve using the uModified Approachw as defined by
Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 34.
For fiscal year 2003, the City's financial statements must comply with GASB 34. One of the requirements
under this new standard is the reporting of the value of infrastructure assets, which indudes roads, bridges,
water, and sewer systems. These assets may be depreciated or reported using the Modified Approach.
The Public Works Department reviewed City infrastructure, including bridges, concrete gutters and
sidewalks, buildings, traffic signals, and streets. The conclusion was to depreciate all these infrastructure
assets except streets.
In order to use the Modified Approach to asset reporting, a condition management system must be
established to assure that adequate maintenance expenditures are made periodically to protect. the public
infrastructure . The City of Englewood uses a software system developed by Burlstone Engineering to
manage the City of Englewood's street paving network. A Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is given to each
street segment based upon visual condition assessment that is performed each year.
According to the Burlstone Rating System;
PCI
Excellent 91 to 100
Good 81 to 90
Fair 66 to 80
Poor 51 to 65
Critical 50 or Less
Thi s rating sys tem assu mes that 100 is a perfect street and there are deducts based upon the type of and
the amount of pavement distress that is observed.
'
.· .. ..
• •
The Public Works Department has established a goal for our preventative maintenance program to keep at
least 70 percent of our streets in the Good to Excellent range. The most recent condition assessment
indicates that the condition of the City's streets is in accordance with this goal. In order to utilize the
Modified Approach, City Council is required to pass a motion setting the condition level that establishes
threshold values of what pavement condition the City desires and what percentage of streets need to be
kept at that condition.
The City's 2003 Englewood Pavement Condition Survey shows 76 percent of our streets have a PCI range
of 81 to 100.
The key to the City's maintenance program is early application of treatments before major structural
deterioration takes place. The primary components of our preventative maintenance program are:
D Crack filling and Crack sealing
D Joint resealing
D Micro surfacing
D Asphalt overlays
In order to keep our streets at or above the desired condition level, the Public Works Department
determined that about 13 percent of the City's streets be addressed in some fashion each year. By
following this program, all streets will receive some treatment at least once every eight years.
Looking back at the last five years:
Year Micro Surfadn
Miles D
1999 9.5
2000 11.6
2001 11.1
2002 11 .2
2003 11.5
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This motion does not have a direct financial impact on the City of Englewood.
