(a) Douglas Habgood, Championship Director for the U .S. Women's Open Golf Championship, said I
just want to thank you for taking the ti.me to listen to us regarding the U. S. Women's Open, which is coming June
20th through the 26th of 2005 at Cherry Hills Country Club located in Cherry Hills Village. I, myself, work for a
marketing company that is hired by the Club, and the U.S .G .A., to manage the event from the ticket sales to the
whole operation. Just to give you a brief overview of the Championship, we will be on TV for four days on NBC
and ESPN. We expect more than 100,000 visitors to Colorado. We have 2,500 volunteers, which arc currently
signed up and being trained as we speak, 156 players, which arc the best amateurs and professionals from around the
world playing for a $3 million purse. There arc 500 media that come along with this event, as well as a number of
spectators, caddies, and vendors, all of which we will welcome with open arms to our great State. We of the
U.S.G.A. do our best to promote a family atmosphere at our events. Our ticket prices arc very affordable, and in
addition to that, we allow any children or juniors ... 17 and under ... to be admitted free throughout the week with a
ticketed adult . We arc trying to create a family atmosphere at our Championship. As you might assume, the
economic impact of this event is quite substantial. We believe that we will bring more than $25 million to the State
of Colorado and I think it is interesting to note that Cherry Hills Village, which is where we are located, probably
will not see most of that since they do not have any businesses within their boundarie:;, so we feel that Englewood
will benefit from all of our visitors. With regard to the direct impact on Englewood, I did have a meeting awhile ago
with your City Manager and your Director of Public Works. We arc currently evaluating several parking areas,
including the Denver Tech C.~ntcr. We need to find parking for not only our public spectators, but also our VIP's,
volunteers, our Club members and Club staff, which will include a fairly complicated busing plan due to the fact that
there are no real large open areas remaining in this vicinity. Part of that plan does include the use of Clarkson as a
return back to the Denver Tech Center. The real reason that I am here today is that I wanted to ask the City Council
to grant us a special exemption to advertise the Championship through your Broadway banner location and our best
case scenario would be to have that banner promoting from May I" through June 26•, 2005 . I am aware of your
Pirates Cove and your summer concert series promotions and would be willing to work with you to switch out at
those times. But I would really appreciate Englewood getting behind this event, since it is such a benefit and a great
event for yourselves and all of your residents . He asked if there were any questions.
Mayor Garrett asked if there were any questions.
Council Member Bradshaw said so you arc asking us to extend this for an additional 30 days beyond what our
policy allows?
Mr. Habgood said yes . I am asking you, as a non-Englewood based event as well . I believe there is some
stipulation in your bylaws that it has to be an Englewood event. So, those are the two stipulations that we are asking
you to consider.
Mayor Garrett asked if there were any other questions.
Council Member Bradshaw said we will take this under advisement.
Mayor Garrett said what we usually do is we hear your request and at some point we will discuss' it ... either this
evening or at a Study Session and we will get back to you. Mr. Habgood said okay. Mayor Garrett said we do have
a little bit of time between now and when you want it to be posted . Mr. Habgood said yes we do, thank you for your
time.
Mayor Garrett !laid thank you very much and good luck with your event.
7 . Unstbeduled Vlsllon
There were no unscheduled visitors.
(a) A letter from Mike Adams indicating his resignation from the Planning and l.lming Commission
was considered.

the year they actually will go through 2007 . It is just the amount that is limited, rather than the time frame that is
limited. The funds will actually cover 80% of the operating eos1s for the shuttle. RID will COlllributc IO'I over
threc years and the City an additional I O'I over three years. I did list all the opentioaal stalistics of the shuttle. If

(c) Resolutions and Motions
(i) Planner Fruchtl presented a recommendation by the Community Development
Department to adopt a resolution approving the Final Plat of the Englewood Estates Subdivision. He said the
applicant is Mike Duggan of Distinctive Builders. Please note that with the approval, moments ago. of Council Bill
No. 33, Englewood Estates PUD establishes the rezoning of the site, establishes the zone district and development
criteria specific to the given piece of property. This evening City Council will consider the Final Plat which legally
subdivides the property . The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the preliminary plat of the Englewood
Estates under Title JO. Land Subdivisions. of the former Zoning Ordinance and voted on ~ 6, 2004 to
forward the final plats to City Council with the recommendation of approval . Title 10 required that residential
property be subdivided through the major subdivision process. when more than three lots were crated or when
dedication of public right-of-way was required . The subdivision proposes to crate seven residential lots and those
lots are consistent with the Englewood Estates Planned Unit Development . The Development Review Team,
consisting of seven City departments, reviewed the propoul of the subdivision. All identified dcvelopmeal iaucs of
the subdivision have been resolved .. Electric. gu and communication utilities arc available to this site and have been
provided on the Final Plat . Staff recommends that Council approve the Final Plat of the Englewood Estala
Subdivision and accept the proposed land dedications with the following condition: that the effective date of the
resolution approving the Englewood Estates be the same as the effective date of the bill for onlinance approving the
Englewood Estates Planned Unit Development . Thank you for your time . If you have any questions. I would like to
address those .
Mayor Garrett asked if there were any questions for Mr . Fruchtl. There were none.

(ii) Manager Dannemiller presented a recommendation from the Community Development
Department to approve by motion a contract with Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc., for operation of the Circulator
Shuttle, in the amount of $207,538.00. She said the process for the selection of Laidlaw is laid out in your memo.
We went through an RFP process . We actually went through interviews. Two of the proposals actually met the
requirements under both financial requirements and the remainder of the RFP. We concluded that, because of the
budget and because of the remainder of the items in the RFP, that the preferred vendor is Laidlaw. They have
extensive experience in circulator shuttlc ... fixed route shuttles and were very willing to work with the City. We are
looking forward to a three year agreement with them with, of course, approval after the first and second years, if the
terms of the contract are met. If there are any questions, I would be happy to address them.
Mayor Garrett asked if there were any questions. There were none.

(i) Mayor Garrett said I would like to mention that David Taylor is moving and will be
moving out of the City Center property next door. I think he is moving southwest, if I'm not mistaken, but he is
moving away from City Center. We are in negotiation through EEF, and then we will seek Council's approval, of
an exit agreement with David Taylor that is hopefully beneficial to Mr. Taylor, as well as to the City of Englewood.
That is in process as we speak.
(ii) Mayor Garrett said what is Council's pleasure on discussing the banner? Would we like
to do it at a later time, to have a little more in depth conversation, as opposed to the memo we had about the banner.
Council Member Bradshaw said I think I would like to have some information. What other banners do we usually
put up during that time? I know we have the Sounds of Summer and, last year, the Pirates Cove openina. After the
success of Pirates Cove, I don't know if we will do that next year . But. she said. I have a problem with tyina up
Broadway for two months.
Mayor Garrett said if we could have a banner schedule, indicating, historically. what aoea up durin1 May I" to the
end of June, that would be helpful to Council.
Council Member Bradshaw said I have no problem with June I . I really have no problem with that, but I do have a
problem with aoing from May l" on.
Council Member Wolosyn said 1 have no problem with makina that an envelope of time, but OW" priorities. and
taking it down and putting it up, are iS111CS . But. Council Member Bradshaw said. that costs each lime. Ms.

Director Ross said the other thing we were going to talk to City Council about was the potential of putting up
another banner. In the MYCP and the Public Works Request we have $5,000.00 for another banner site. This isn't
that unusual of a situation, where we have conflicting schedules and trying to make things work and for that minor
amount of money maybe that is something that City Council might want to consider.
Council Member Bradshaw said the other thing that I was thinking, WIIS on the Broadway bridge over 285 ... because
the traffic there is huge. But, that might be an alternative site.
Director Ross said that one is a little tougher, because you arc dealing with COOT right-of-way. Ms. Bradshaw said
oh, all right.
Council Member Wolosyn said what was your other location that you were thinking of/
Director Ross said actually we used to have one over by Swedish . Swedish on one side and the Bear Frame and
Axle on the other side. It has been there before. I am scheduled to go to the ACE Comminee to talk to them, the
first or second week in August, to sec if there arc any issues with that group. Mayor Garrett said do you mean
Kaiser? Mr . Ross said I'm sorry, yes Kaiser.
Ms . Wolosyn said lets wait for the discussion.
Mayor Garrett said we will wait for a discussion . We will set it up where you can present where the alternatives arc
and we can get a schedule and that way we will be able to get back to the Committee.
City Manager Scars said possibly we could do that next Monday night at the Study Session. Ms . Wolosyn said I
thought we were going to do it after he met with ACE . Mr. Sean said oh, he's IIOI meeting this week with ACE?
Ms. Wolosyn said it is a week from Thursday. City Manager Sears said I'm sorry, we can meet after that.
Mayor Garren said we do have some time.
(b) Council Members ' Choice
(i) Council Member Barrentine :
I . She said I would like to congratulate Jim on his appointment.
2. She said I wanted to thank both Dan Brotzman and Jerrell Black for handling a couple of problems . I don't
think people are measured by how well you can have things go. but how well you have handled the problems that
cro p up. I am very proud of the professionalism and detail that you guys went into thi s with and I appreciate your
help in getting it resolved so quickly .
3. She said I wanted to recognize the Police Department. I just heard fantaslic things. I loved the article that
Tom Munds wrote and our cooperation with the City of Littleton in handling that young man who wanted to commit
suicide . The sergeant from the SW AT Team was on the scene so quickly. We have calm people there that arc
respectful of life and I appreciate the way they handled it and we weren't on the news. Maybe we should have been.
for the way that it was handled. Had it gone bad. we certainly would have l(lltefl the press that other municipalities
have gotten . That kind of cal m. professional attitude is reflective of the people who manaae thole men and I
appreciate that very much .
4 . She said I wanted to thank the Keep Englewood Beautiful CommiltclC for comlna and talkina 10 City
Council a couple weeks ago about the Run that they arc plannina for a fund raiser for the Hazardous Wuae Project
for recycling . They really energized me and pve me an opportunity to partici;,atc. I appn,ciale that they allowed
me 10 do that . She said I want 10 thank the people in the commwuty who ha11e come forwud . JU9l to name a few :

SK Run and Walk and it will segue into the Family Fun Fest, which will be really nice and utiliz.e that area in
Belleview Park. The first 150 people who sign up will get free Pirates Cove tickets . Thank you very much .
5. She said I wanted to congratulate Jeff Sanchez on his promotion. I am the liaison with the Code
Enforcement Board and have appreciated the hard work that he has put in there . And on that DOie, I do appreciate
you taking care of the skunk lady. That was very nice. I think she learned a lot more about skunks than she ever
anticipated she would . But, it is nice that with the couple of problems that came up, how well you an: still dealing
with that even though you have taken on new duties. Thank you .
(ii) Council Member Moore said I would like to welcome Jim aboard. I look forward to
working with you . Congratulation! Council Member Woodward said thank you .
(iii) Council Member Bradshaw :
1. She said I too would like to welcome Jim. It is going to be fun .
2. She said the solution to the erosion that I talked about, that was under the Silver Cliff Apartments wall , I
think we have gotten that taken can: of with Urban Drainage and Flood Conlrol as well as the property owners. It
looks like, again , the Foundation worked to get two entities togelher that might not even know there was an iuue.
That takes can: of that. Also special thanks to Dave Henderson on our staff for his wol'k on that. He has just been
on top of it right away.
3. She said kudos to the staff on the Sounds of Summer at the new location. I think the transition was tough,
but I think the people have really bought into it now . I hear really good comments about that. I don't know how the
Farmers Market is doing . We just finally got produce last week so that will help I'm sure.
4 . She said there an: certain properties. that the vehicle ordinance that we puaed, is just not a<>ina to work on.
Some of those an: corner properties without alleys. I jlllt wonder if Code Enforcemen1 could look a& .,_ of dime
properties, in particular. The cue in point is the house at Gnni and Tufts, where he is puaiaa on an addition on the
southeast corner. And there is something about it that he cannot comply. 10 if we could look at that property and
work with him, I think that would really help .
Council Member Barrentine said we had several iuues come up with the pad and thinas that Jeff was wortina on in
trying to be compliant, as well as what the Code Enforcement Officers were tellina them and there is a limited
space. And we will have to deal with that, because we have some odd lots .
Council Member Bradshaw said corner lots particularly seem to be problematic. But Jeff, thanks again for all the
work you do and congratulations. Lieutenant Sanchez said thank you .
(iv) Council Member Tomasso:
1. He said I want to congratulate Jim .
2. He said I have another one of those car issues where it is up on the hill . It is up on Vassar . They have the
front yard completely padded with concrete . They have three feet bet~n their duplex and the neat duplex . They
sent pictures and they an: lookina for a variance on the trailer ordinance, becaua they have a motor home with a
trailer attached to it and their boat and then they have a trailer with their two skidoo& and they an: all away from the
sidewalk and they have lived there for seventeen years . There is a letter with that alto. They were lootiq for
directions since, Code told them to concact Council. So I am brinaina it to you to see if we can come up with IOllle
solution for this property. because they can't act to the back yard because there is no alley and !here 11 only tine
feet between the buildinas. They said the C06l to store their vehicles would be $425 to $500 a year and they can't
afford that. They have desianed thi s so that they can retire in five years. They boupt all the toys while they were
working so they could retire.

Motion carried and the public hearing opened .
All witnesses were duly sworn .
Planner Fruchll said before you is Council Bill No. 33, Case PUD 2003-01 Englewood Estates Planned Unit
Development. At this time, staff would like to provide a presentation, for the record, for this public hearing
concerning the proposed Englewood Estates Planned Unit Development. At the conclusion of the staff's
presentation, the applicant will provide testimony for the record . At the conclusion of the applicant's presentation ,
both staff and the applicant will answer any questions that Council may have. Staff would like to ask that the Staff
Rcpon and Notice of Public Hearing of the Planned Unit Development, which was published in the Englewood
Herald, be entered into the public record . Additionally, staff would like to note that the posting of the property was
done fifteen days prior to the Public Hearing and the Certification of Posting has been presented to the City Clerk.
Staff recommends that City Council approve the proposed Englewood Estates Planned Unit Development. The City
Council this evening m"ust look at, review and determine if the PUD meets the requirements for the PUD District
Plan for the PUD Site Plan . Please note that the PUD process is the rezoning of the site and establishes zoning and
development criteria specific to the given parcel . The District Plan establishes regulations for the PUD and the Site
Plan establishes the design requirements. The applicant has submitted all the required documents and the proposal
~as been reviewed by the development review team . The applicant has conducted two neighborhood meetings and
the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding uses in that area. The PUD application and applicant is going
to be presented by Distinctive Builders, LLC which is represented by Mr. Mike Duggan. The subject property is a
vaca nt parcel approximately 1.19 acres in size . Adjacent properties to the north , east and south arc zoned R-1-C.
si ngle family residence district and contains single family homes . Adjacent properties to the west arc zoned 1-1 and
arc used as automotive sales and engine repair facility. The Englewood Estates application proposes seven single
family lots ranging in size from 5.116 square feet to the largest being 6,750 square feet. The proposed structures
will be limited to single family development , plus accessory struc tures . Although home occupations are permitted,
they arc limited to the occupants of the residence and must be co nducted entirely within the home . The home
occ upa tions are co mpatible with the existing regulations loca ted in the Englewood Municipal Code and within the
Unified Development Code. Again, as previously stated, the lot sizes range in size from 5, 116 sqiwe feet to 6,750
square feet with an average lot size of 5. 784 square feet. That lot size is comparable to the adjacent R-1-C zoning.
which requ ire s a minimum 6.000 square foot lot size . The proposed height of the principle structures located within
the PUD 1s 32 feet and i compatible with the Unified Development Code for residential zone districts . Setbacks arc
establis hed by the deve lopment envelopes specific to each IOI and those are specifically shown on the proposed PUD
District Plan . Please note th at although the development envelope is an area in which development may occur,
provi ions IA 1th th e PUD preclude development from totally encompassing and enaulfing the whole development
envelope . Landscaping requirements arc compatible with the landscaping standards of the Englewood Murucipal
Code . Add11i onal provi 10n of the development envelope require that the garaac doon be selback a minimum of24
feci from Quincy . To me e the propeny in the proposed development will be throuah a pnvate drive which is West
Quinc y 1rclc and that will be accessed from West Quincy Avenue . As West Qwncy Cirde is not a publ ic suect. a
note h been placed on the Di tri t Plan stau na that the roadway doc not meet City 5tandards and that the road wall
nc,er be mamtained by the Cuy. but rather through the Homeowners AssocaallOII. West Qwncy C1Tcle will travel in
a one-IA y direction. entcnng at the we t intenceuon of West Quincy Circle and Wcst Qwncy Avenue and cxiung

on the cast intersection of West Quincy Circle and West Quincy Avenue. One-way signs arc proposed at each
intersection and will direct visitors in the proper route . Those are shown on the Plan. All lots will be accessed via
private driveways that connect to West Quincy Circle. A note , in addition, has been placed on the District Plan and
the plat that prohibits access to Lot I from West Quincy Avenue that will prohibit the driver from coming in off of
West Quincy Avenue . Parking on the private drive will be limited to two parking spaces located at the southwest
comer of West Quincy Circle and two parking spaces located at the southwest comer of West Quincy Circle for a
total of four off street parking spaces. To prevent snow from being plowed on to West Quincy Avenue, the parking
spaces will be designated as snow storage areas . Parking is not permitted anywhere else along West Quincy Circle
and 'No Parking' signs arc proposed to be posted, as indicated on the Plan . Electrical service is available from Xcel
and will be underground . Drainage issues have been addressed and wiU be monitored in development of the permit
process. Water and sanitary sewer services have been reviewed and approved by the City of Englewood Utilities
Department and will be monitored in the development permit process also . Signage is proposed identifying the
developers name and the property address . The proposed development is consistent with the overall intent of the
Comprehensive Plan. At this time, the applicant would like to provide testimony for the public record. Thank you .
Mike Duggan, 5984 South Iola Way , Englewood, 80111, said it is my great pleasure to stand before you and present
the plan for Englewood Estates ... the City's newest subdivision. First of all I guess I should say, I don't have near as
much to say as Anthony did, but I am going to try to give you guys a couple of quick highlights. The plan before
you is the culmination of three years of hard work on the pan of our development team, the City staff and the
community . It has been a team effort that has miuired countless meetings, new ideas and the willingness to see a
piece of vacant land from a new perspective . Englewood Estates is a subdivision consisting of seven homes, like
Anthony said, with an average lol size of 5,784 square feet The homes arc accessed by a private roadway known as
West Quincy Circle. There will be a minimum of 1200 square feet per home and a minimum two car garages giving
all those homes a total of four off-street spaces per home. At this point, 1 would like to just open up the hearing for
discussion if you guys have any questions.
Mayor Garrett asked if there were any questions for the applicant at this time.
Mayor Garrett said 1 have a question with respect to the road which was not built to City standards. I take it you will
be funding that through the Homeowners Association dues . ~ roads arc fairly expensive to maintain, what kind of
assurance do we have that the roads will be taken care ol'I What arc your expectations u to what you will be having
10 collect?
Mr . Duggan said we have not SCI an exact dollar figure on what is going to be collected. Put of lhat is going to be
through the construction process ... where we know what the initial costs arc and then we are goin1 to do some
estima1i ng on repair costs in five and ten year increments . Then at that point, that is when the dues will be set for
the homeowners. ·
Mayor Garrett said one of the other questions I received. was that someone wu questionin1 the density level. I
mean , when you look at R-1-C the minimum is 6,000 and over half of these lots do IIOI meet that minimum, so what
makes you think that the density here is not too great?
Mr . Duggan said basically our lots arc. on average, the same as most any other lot excepl that the averaae is going to
be 9.3 feel shorter in the rear yard . So, our whole goal when we started was to try and fit ... obviously u a
devc loper ... the mos1 we could into the parcel that made sense. We oripnally were cloler to dial 6,000 square feet,
bu1 when we started making changes to the Plan flll" additional parkiq spaces. fOI" alllled putina. IIIOW storqe and
wide nin g the road for Safety Services and some of the other thinp we did. we ended up haviq to shrink dlOlc lots
down to meet different construction guidelines. We think that there is still a Imai for this type of constrllCtion in the
Ci1 y of Englewood ... newer housing that is goina to be peat for families. while still bcina affordable in the City.
Council Member Bradshaw said I have a question. What is the price ranp of thac?
Mr . Duggan said they are expected to start in the low to mid $200,000.00 ru,e llld theft probably go up to around
$300,000.00. Ms. Bradshaw said okay.

Mayor Garren thanked Mr. Duggan . Is there any more presentation from either the staff or the developer? There
was none .
George Stampados, 4325 South Lipan, said I am one of the properties that buns up on this field . When wc first
heard about this, two years ago, we were talking three bedroom ranch-style houses on a basement. which is basically
what is through that whole neighborhood , except for three tri-levels. Every time anybody from the tri-ievels ... and I
am one of them ... tries to get a valuation or anything else, there are no other homes in the neighborhood that meets
the same size or criteria of design, so wc can't hardly get a valuation on our properties. Almost every house there is
a ranch style ... either raised ranch on a basement or a ranch sitting level to the ground on a basement Now those
houses were originally proposed to us in the $139,000 .00 to $189,000 .00 category, which is what most of the houses
sell for in this neighborhood. In fact. two houses have sold in the last year, after being on the market for a minimum
of six months and they sold for in the neighborhood of$189,000.00. The house across the street from me ... and you
all know Steve Neyer, I believe ... he just sold that house . That house went up originally for $330,000.00 ... it has just
sold for I've been told ... for in the neighborhood of around $230,000.00 and it is about the size they arc talking
about in the last meeting I was at, which was a two story four bedroom house. Now, that house sold for
$230,000.00. They could not get it any higher than that. I looked in the neighborhood and there are no houses as
big as what has been prescnlCd to me . The 22 foot tall house that was originally presented ... we went out with our
neighbors and we all measured and found out if we go upstairs in our houses that we can just barely sec over those
and see the mountains . If ou put a 32 foot tall house up, wc won't be able to see any mountains . We won't be able
to see anything except houses and all of us bought lhcrc specifically because we had a view. My biggest concern is
not that though. My biggest concern is if you put up a house this big, it is going to have a hard time selling,
especially in the $259,000.00 to $289,000.00 range . That is about the figure you were talking about, the category,
because nothing in our neighborhood is that expensive . So, they are going to end up selling for maybe $239,000.00
and depreciate all the rest of us down more. So, we are going to have a bard time selling ours. Plus, half of these
houses ... or several of these houses ... are going to bun up against a car lot. a car rq,air shop, light indUSlry and
storage. How many people want to spend a quarter of a million dollars for a house that buns up on light industry? I
don't think this has been completely thought out as to how these are going to be marbled and disposed of. I know
of other houses that are $30,000.00 more than the houses surrounding them, over in Sheridan, that have sat for three
years and not sold. So, I think wc need to rethink how big these houses need to be and bow tall and stay within the
confines of the rest of the neighborhood, before you devalue our houses and put up a bunch of houses that are too
expensive to sell . I just think this needs to all be thought about and I don 't think it bas been addrcascd or looked at
too closely. because IS I said. it has taken six months or longer to seU a house in our neighborhood lately . We are at
the bottom of the hill . It is hottcr down there. So ... we aren't as desirable, I don't think. as some Olher parts of
Englewood. On top of the hill, at my Mom's house, it is cool, but I have to run my air conditioning. All of these
things arc going to have to be looked al in that development. before it is complctcly okayed and authorized . That is
what I've got to say . Other than that. I think it is a great idea . I would love to sec it developed, but I think it needs
to be de ve loped within the confines of what is already there ... in the rest of the community . Thank you.
Mayor Garren said thank you very much .
Mayor Garrett asked if there was anyone else who wanted to speak during the Public Hearing . There WIS no one .
Mayor Garren asked if Council had any more questions for either staff or the applicant. There were none .

11. Regular Agenda
(a) Approval of Ordinances on First Reading
(i) Communications Specialist Hoffhines presented a recommendation from the City
Manager's Office to adopt a bill for an ordinance repealing and reenacting a new Title 12, Chapter 6 of the
Englewood Municipal Code, amending the Greater Metro Telecommunications Consortium Customer Service
Standards . I am here tonight to seek Council's support for a bill for an ordinance that revises and updates the
current Customer Service Standards for cable television operators. The current cable TV customer service standards
were originally developed by the Greater Metro Telecommunications Consortium and they were adopted in 1994 by
the Englewood City Council . They were adopted to ensure quality customer service for cable subscribers
throughout the Metro area. Over the past year or so, a committee of the GMTC has been meeting to update and
revise these standards . The committee is lead by the GMTC legal counsel, Ken Fellman. The revisions that we are
talking about tonight, recognize current technology and addresses customer privacy concerns . The language has
been updated, cleaned up and clarified to match statutory definitions and to match our cable franchise agreement.
Ken Fellman, the legal counsel for GMTC, addressed City Council at the July 12111 Study Session and presented the
revisions, but I would be happy to answer any additional questions that you may have .
Council Member Bradshaw said so this document contains everything we discussed at the last Study Session? Ms .
Hoffhines said yes, it does. Ms. Bradshaw said okay.

(ii) Director Ross presented a recommendation from the Public Works Department to adopt a
bill for an ordinance amending Article 12-8-12 of the Englewood Municipal Code to modify the voluntary non-
participation provision in the Concrete Utility . We arc here tonight to ask you to modify the non-participation
provision of the Concrete Utility, commonly known as the opt-out provision . We are at a point where we are seeing
that entire frontages of people's property are being removed with the Concrete Utility and with the fees that are
be ing paid , it is about $50.00 a year on average . That pays for about a fOOI and a half of coDCTCte, so it will take a
long time to reimburse the Utility and if people opt-out after we have removed their entire frontage , the entire
viability of the program is really being threatened . If you have any questions. I will be happy 10 answer them .
Mayor Garrett asked if there were any questions for Mr . Ross . There were none.

August 16, 2004 as the dale for .the Public Hearing to consider testimony on the Denver Seminary Planned Unit
Development. She said before you is Council Bill No . 40 and it is a request to rezone the property lhat is commonly
referred to as the Denver Seminary site ... an eleven and a half acre site ... to rezone it from MU-R-3-B, which is a
high density residential district, to PUD . This rezoning would be to allow 3SO residential units, along with

Mayor Garrett asked if there was any discussion .
Council Member Bradshaw said I would think that if Council would hang on to this information then staff wouldn't
have to re surrect it again . I just think that would be helpful .
Mayor Garrett said I think it is also good to point out that this is a three step process . The first process is that if it
passes this evening it will get us to the public input section, where we can gather input. I know that some Council
members may have some questions over the next couple of weeks, that they want to make sure they get answered
during that Public Hearing process . So stay tuned , I would say, for the developers, as well as the staff.
Ms . Langon said thank you . They will be available that evening .
Ms. Langon said the trees thank you too, if we don't have to reprinl everythina .

very difficult time administering that. Many of them do use less, but typically we find that they run in the 50 to 75
percent range. So for case of administration ... and there have been legal problems in collecting on bonds and letters
of credit and so forth ... the staff recommended to the Water and Sewer Board and the Water and Sewer Board is
recommending that we simply establish the hotel sewer tap rate at 75% of the standard tap. That would be if it had a
100 rooms, it would be the same as 75 equivalent residential units.
Mayor Garrett asked if there were any questions for Mr. Fonda.
Council Member Barrentine said wouldn't the financial impact be that you would collect more money?
Mr. Fonda said I think we would probably collect about the same, but we would have a lot less expense in collecting
it. If we stayed with I 00%, we would collect a little less than that, but I don't think it would have any material
impact on the Sewer Fund . Ms. Barrentine said okay. Mr. Fonda said ifwc went for the full JOO%, we would
collect more money, but at 75% it won 't have an impact on the Sewer Fund. We will collect less, but realistically
they haven't been using the full 100%. Most hotels don't use that much water.
Mayor Garrett asked if there were any further questions . There was none.

(v) and (vi) Director Fonda presented a recommendation from the Utilities Department to
adopt a bill for an ordinance approving the Third Amendment to the Joint-Use Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Agreement between the City of Englewood and the City of Littleton and he presented a recommendation from the
Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant Supervisory Comminec to adopt a bill for an ordinance approving an
Intergovernmental Agreement with the U.S. Environme11ta1 Protection Agency for the issuance of State and Tribal Assistance
Gran ts for the Phase 2 Construction Project.
Mr. Fonda said both these items relate to ·our being issued a State and Tribal Assistanec Grant through Senator
Ca mpbell 's office for a million do llars toward the construction of the Wastewater Treatment Plant and we will
reapply next year , although we are not quite as confident that we will receive the grant. Both of them represent
-conditi o ns that we need to fulfill in order to finalize the grant, which has been awarded . This would be the third
amendment to the joint-use agreement . We did not have, in the joint-use agreement, how we would divide the funds
that we would receive from grants and how we would apponion the costs that are necessary to receive them . The
way we have worded it, is that it will be done exactly as all Olher expenses arc done . There is a fonnula as to
whether they arc c~ital or whether they are operating expenses and it will be divided in the same manner as other
expenses are .
Mayor Garrett asked if there were any questions for Mr. Fonda.
Council Member Bradshaw said how did we get a Tribal grant?
Mr. Fonda said we app li ed ... wc heard about it and so we just went after it. Senator Campbell is on the commission .
Ms . Bradshaw said and we qualified? Mr. Fonda said yes. we uc qualified .

There were no items submitted for approval on second reading.
(c) Resolutions and Motions
(i) Director Fonda presented a recommendation from the Utilities Department to approve, by
motion , a contract for Removal and Disposal of Allen Plant Alum Residuals, with Waste Management, Inc .. in the
amount of $163,260.00. He said the Allen Plant Residuals are at just enough radio activity, from the clay that is in
the river , that they have to be reviewed by the State Health Department as to their disposal. We have been co-
mingling them with din and building berms at the golf course. We have used up all that space . There is quite an
issue going on up and down the front range, because a number of communities have not gotten Health Department
approval on how lo do it. We have worked with them and have found Waste Management has a site that is qualified
to accept it. We went out for bids and they wanted $143,000.00, I believe , for one years supply. There were two
very low bids. but neither of them qualified . We negotiated with them and we came up with the price of
$163 ,260.00 for two years supply, so it is almost half. This gets us out of the bind that we are in, where we have a
pi le of material that we have to get rid of. It will be moved rather quickly. Then that would give us an opportunity
to ha ve time to see if we can get more reasonable disposal costs. Although, he noted, thi s is getting close to what we
were expending ... almost $50,000.00 a year ... doing the berms on the golf course.
Mayor Garrett sai d what is your perspective of the health hazard? Mr. Fonda said actually if you want to put it in
perspective, you get more radiation living in a brick house, than you do standing next to our pile for a year ... but it is
measurable.
Mayor Garrett asked if there were any questions. There were none .
COUNCIL MEMBER BRADSHAW MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE A CONTRACT
WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. FOR REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ALLEN PLANT ALUM
RESIDUAL IN THE AMOUNT OF $163,260.00 FOR DISPOSAL OF TWO YEARS OF PRODUCl10N.

Improvements at the Plant, with Western Summit Constructors, Inc., in the amount of$87,I00,900.00. He said we
went over this in detail at the Study Session last week and the only thing that has changed is that Littleton will
consider it at their August 3rd meeting, although they have assured us that there should be no problem from their
end . With that, we would recommend the bid be accepted in the amount of $87,100,900.00 and we will hold the
award of contract until Littleton has made their final decision on August 3rd.

12 . General Discussion
(a) Mayor's Choice
Council Members Barrentine, Moore, Bradshaw, Garren, Wolosyn, Tomasso
None
Mayor Garrett did not have any matters to bring before Council.
(b) Council Members' Choice
(i) Council Member Tomasso said I had one resident that questioned the Zoning
Commission the other night. A res ident requested to use telephone poles for fencing and to build retaining wall s
from telephone poles. The resident has a concern about the environmental health affect of using poles that arc
treated with arseni c or creosote and what that will do to the environment. .. the sawdust in the air from cutting the
poles and what that docs to the c hildren in the area. It passed. I think, on a 6 to I vote, that he could use that. So he
had a question, if that falls within something that we should look at in the future . The person that is acquiring the
telephone poles will be getting them for a really reduced cost and signing a waiver that he knows they contain the
carcinogens . So is it something the rest of the City Council could be conccmcd with, or is it something we should
be concerned with ?
Cou ncil Member Brads haw said someone else clear this up a little bit more.
Direc tor Simpson said yes, thi s was a questi o n that was brought before the Planning and Zoning Commission. The
applicant had requested that they build their fence out of these materials. We felt that they were inappropriate
fencing material s. There is , of course, always an appeals process, which you can go through and the applicant felt
that s taff's interpretation of fencing materials. with this panicular material , was incorrect, so we chose to take it to
'

the next level. That would be the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission felt it was an appropriate
material. If Council would like to take a look at that and choose to determine whether that is an appropriate material
for future use and direction, we would love to discuss that.
Council Member Bradshaw said he used telephone poles to build fences? Mr . Simpson said those kinds of
materials, yes. So, Ms. Bradshaw said, esthetically it was not an issue? Is that correct? Mr. Simpson said I am not
sure exactly on what basis they determined that to be acceptable. Ms. Bradshaw said in the landscaping business ,
they are phasing out the arsenic impregnated timbers and they put in a new material. So those arc not going to be
available ... the green ones that you see all over. Director Simpson said that is true. Ms. Bradshaw said the industry
is phasing those out and I don't know that I want telephone poles.
Mayor Garrett said the question for us would be whether we want to. basically. make a prohibition in the type of
material.
Mr. Simpson said we could bring a policy discussion as a Study Session item, back to Council, if you would like.
Ms. Bradshaw said I would like that. Mr. Simpson said we will do that.
(ii) Council Member Wolosyn said I want to thank Stu Fonda and the Utilities Department
for completing the deal with Xcel that allows the recirculation pump to go in for the City Ditch at 2700 South
Clarkson. I know how much work it was, especially for Bill McCormick, so thank you.
(iii) Council Member Moore said I had a friend and colleague of mine just compliment Bob
Simpson. Bob spoke to .. .! think ... an 1-70 Corridor development group and told them a little bit about the
development of Englewood. My friend was really appreciative of the presentation and said Bob did a great job. I
just wanted to acknowledge Bob's representation of the City. Thanks.
(iv) Council Member Bradshaw:
I . She said at the Parks and Recreation meeting on the s• of July. we found out that we arc pan of the Silver
Sneakers Fitness Program here in Englewood. That is where people get reimbursed for their fitness classes through
a program. Here is the flyer on it, with my notes all over it. But what it means, money wise, would be $20,000.00
to the Malley Center and $5 ,000 .00 to the Englewood Recreation Center to help people offset fees. We just missed
it last year and then this year Joe Sack said we got it. We have the new fitness equipment, so the additions are
paying off.
2 . She said there is a semi-crisis going on at Big Dry Creek. The wall at the Silver Cliff Apartments, because
of the rains that we have had . is being eroded underneath the footings of the wall, so that whole wall could just come
down. The South Suburban Foundation can't pay for that, this is an Urban Drainage issue. So, please have
someone from our staff contact Urban Drainage. City Manager Sears said okay. He asked Director Ross to do a
follow-up. Council Member Bradshaw said this is at a crisis stage. We walked it Friday. The contractor is sitting
there waiting for our bridges to come in and they are late. So the contractor is already marshaled, ready to do the
work , but we just need the money . It would be about $58,000.00. We don't want to build the trail and then have
people go teari ng across it to fix the wall, and then have to replace the trail again. It is because of our recent rains
that this all came to fruition . It is just eating it out. .. there is no vegetation on the lower third of it. And, pans of Dry
Creek are being cut under, because of the urban runoff. So. it is at a crisis point. I don't know how we do it, but I
know the Foundation docs not have the money to do it .
Director Ross sai d we will c heck with Urban Drainage and see if they have funds available. Ms. Bradshaw said I
know there arc some emergency fund s there and this is probably close to an emergency as you can get. If any of
yo u want to go look at it, just get off at Lehow and then walk back toward the east, toward where the bridae is aoing
to be and look under there. It is probably a three or four fooc chunk out from under the wall. We ori&inally wanled
to put the trail there and fix that, but they didn't want to give us an easement. so now they are aoin& to lotic the wall .
And. it is in Englewood . I thought it was in Littleton, but it is Englewood .

3. She said I have some stats on the Water Park . We arc averaging 1000 people a day. And on the 7m of July,
2,134 people went through the door, so we arc on track for our revenue . The Parks and Recreation Department also
has three interns ... Sarah, Jessica and Lance . It was nice to meet them . The Water Park is doing quite well .
4. She said I attended a South Suburban Park District meeting, because the Foundation ... thc bike trail
group ... won a national award, the Americans for Our Heritage and Recreation award . I think they give out four a
year and we got one for the Big Dry Creek segment that has just been completed. So, I was presenting that to the
Board . Do you remember the memos we had going back and forth between Dave Lorenz and Jerrell Black? Jim
Ryan would like to sit down, on a political level, and try to iron out our differences with South Suburban. I would
like Council's permission to do that, with anyone who would like to participate. Get two of their Board members
and two of our Council members, if we can, and try to iron out the difficulties. There arc some things that we need
to talk about, as far as parking and signagc, to help us park over there . Staffs aren't arguing ... it is just that their
perspectives arc different.
Mayor Garrett asked is there a Council member who would like to participate in that discussion.
Council Member Wolosyn said I was wondering about the Mayor participating, as he lives in District 4 .
Council Member Bradshaw said yes, if he has time .
Council Member Barrentine said I would be happy to participate in that too . If you want to share it, I would be more
than happy to learn a little bit more about what is going on with that.
So , Council Member Bradshaw said, if that is all right, I think that's what we will do. I just wanted Council's
permission to do that.
13 . City Manager's Report
(a) City Manager Sears said I just wanted to mention that Chris mentioned to me, before this meeting,
that there arc some police activities over on Sherman Street. Also, normally I don't make notice of appointments,
but there arc a couple of critical appointments that Chris has made that I think Council should be aware of. I think
they arc excellent appointments and I would just ask Chris to speak about this for a couple of seconds.
Director Olson said thank you. As Council is aware, Safety Services has been undergoing some significant
personnel changes, especially in the last six months . A lot of people have been leaving. but a lot of new people have
been coming on board . I have also had several retirements, which have allowed me to make some upward mobility
appointments in the organization, especially in the Police Division . As you arc probably aware, Lieutenant John
Collins has been appointed to the position of Commander in charge of the Patrol Division 11.nd he will have the
Traffic Unit under him . as well as Neighborhood Services. And, to fill his position, we conducted a very tough
selection proce ss, which was very difficult because I have a great group of sergeant candidates. I am quite proud to
say that I have exceeded the expectations. for most sergeants in the metropolitan area. by making sure they have
the ir Bachelor degrees and have gone through extensive post graduate education as well . But out of that group I
made a determination to appoint Sergeant Jeff Sanchez to the position of Lieutenant. He will be in charge of
Neighborhood Services, so there is go1ng to be a fairly smooth transition to what we have been doing, at least over
th e pa st two years . Hi s position is effective today . Lieutenant Collins' was effective last week. with the retirement
of Co mmander Steve Knoll . So we arc moving ahead. Luckily. with the City Manager's permission, I was able to
fill these positions with a relatively low budget adjustment. In addition to that, there have been other people who
ha ve left . but we have not filled their position. Bull thought it was critical that you knew about that today. You can
expec t to ha ve two ve ry competent people handling Code Enforcement and all those services that arc related to that.
There will be another sergeant moved into Jeff Sanchez' position and we haven't determined who that is going to be
yet. They are drawing straws right now to see who wants to take that responsibility on. We will make sure that we
get a co mpetent tea m that is gcing to be working to resolve a lot of these issues that we have discussed in the past,
so ... with that , thank you.
Council Member Brad shaw sai d well done Chris.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
THROUGH:
FROM:
DATE:
Gary Sears, City Manager &
Ken Ross, Director of Public Wo ~
July 27, 2004
SUBJECT: 2005 U.S. WOMEN'S OPEN AT CHERRY HILLS COUNTRY CLUB
The attention of the golf world will be turned toward Cherry Hills Country Club in the later part
of June 2005, as the 601h U.S. Women's Open comes to town.
We have been working with the event coordinators with respect to their transportation plan. The
goal of everyone involved is to try to prevent traffic congestion and gridlock around the Country
Club area which would spill over into Englewood. Public parking areas are going to be provided
within the Denver Tech Center and people will then be bussed to the admission gate at Quincy
and University at the south side of the Country Club. Local parking is only going to be provided
for contestants, corporate guests, media, officials, staff, vendors, club members and volunteers.
Some of these smaller parking areas may be located within Englewood city limits.
According to the plan, the only street in Englewood that is to be impacted will be Clarkson Street
from Quincy to Belleview, as empty busses from the public parking areas will be traveling west
from the Country Club on Quincy and then south on Clarkson to do their return trip to the T,<ech
Center on Belleview.
The other issue is that U.S. Women's Open would like to request time to advertise this event
using our Broadway street banner location. They have requested a large block of time from May
I to June 26 in 2005 . Obviously the City will want to be advertising the Pirate's Cove Opening
beginning in the middle of May to Memorial Day Weekend, as well as advertising for the
Summer Concert Series the first two or three weeks in June .
Our Street Banner Policy indicates that non-city applications can only be accepted 45 days prior
to installation, and that City functions take first priority.

traffic in and around Cherry Hills Country Club.
Of the three proposed bus routes listed in your Preliminary Transponation Plan, only your

Belleview Avenues.
As we discussed. you will provide the residents along this route with advance notification
penaining to the expected additional traffic and busscs going to and from the tournament
during this June 20-26, 2005 event.
We hope that you will work with RTD to provide transponation to and from the Englewood
CityCenter Light Rail Station for this event. And, as we indicated at our advance notification
meeting last year. we may be able to provide our Motorized Horsccar for this purpose,
providing that our costs to operate the vehicle are covered by the Tournament.
Additionally. as I previously indicated, counesy type directional signs may be placed in City
rights-of-way. however, you will need to coordinate the placement of these signs with our
Traffic Engineering Division .
Enclosed is the Banner Application form for our South Broadway location, as you requested.
Please note that. according to the City of Englewood Street Banner Policy, banners can be
placed for programs sponsored by the City of Englewood, Englewood School District, or
Charitable Organizations . Additionally , the policy states that non-city applications can be
accepted no more than 45 days in advance of installation. Please also keep in mind that City

To my fellow Commissioners and the City of Englewood Staff,
I must announce that I have put my home on the real estate market. I intend to
move to Summit County with my family in order to be closer to my favorite
sport. That is, skiing! Therefore, I must resign my position as a Planning and
Zoning Commissioner for the City of Englewood .
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with each one of you and I have learned a
great deal about how a small city operates. I have been impressed by the
knowledge and concerns that each of you have brought forth in our meetings
and, knowing that, I feel sure that the City of Englewood will continue to be a
very pleasant small city to live in. You know, I have lived in my house for 14
years now and I already miss it! Thanks for making the City a nice place to live .
And, thanks for all your support and your friendship.
I will attend the meeting on July 13, 2004 and make my resignation effective on
July 22, 2004.
Sincerely, Mike Adams

Intergovernmental Agreement
with Arapahoe County for
Coordinated Election Services
Frank Gryglewicz, Director of Finance and
Administrative Services
Loucrishia A . Ellis, City Clerk/Election Commission
Member
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
The City of Englewood has participated with Arapahoe County in conducting coordinated elections
since 1993.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve, by ordinance, an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Englewood and
Arapahoe County for the November 2, 2004 Coordinated Election.
Because of State Legislation and the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) amendment approved by the
voters in 1992, coordinated elections are to be conducted, throughout the State, by County Clerks.
The County has the capability of coordinating this election and including the City of Englewood.
The Election Commission agrees that it is in the best interest of the electors of Englewood to
conduct future elections jointly with the other political entities within the County. In order to
participate in the 2004 coordinated election, the City of Englewood must enter into an
in tergovern mental agreement with Arapahoe County.
Staff has reviewed the proposed intergovernmental agreement and concurs with the Commission's
recommendation. ·
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Since costs are based on several variables, i.e. the nu'mber of registered electors in the City of
Englewood at the time of the election, the number of ballot questions, the number of entities
participating in the election, the financial impact is only an estimate. Based on the known facts, the
cost of the 20 04 municipal election is estimated to be $10,000.00. (We are not submitting a
TABOR issue to the ballot.) A supplemental appropriation may be forthcoming.

AGREEMENT FOR TEMPORARY LEASE AND/OR
RE-DIVERSION OF REUSABLE RETURN FLOWS OF WATER
I . Introduction: Parties and Purposes.
Centennial Water and Sanitation District (Centennial) owns reusable return flows to the
South Platte River which consist of Centennial' s reusable water discharged by Centennial' s Marcy
Gulch wastewater treatment plant (the return flows). The City of Englewood (Englewood) bas a
me:ins to re-divert the return flows at Union A venue, and either retain them for use by Englewood or
redeliver same to Centennial. The parties intend that Englewood shall attempt to divert the return
flows, under the circumstances set forth below, and pay Centennial for the return flows if same are
retained by Englewood; and that Centennial will pay Englewood for re-directing the rerum flows, if
same are redelivered to Centennial. It is anticipated that Englewood will attempt to divert the return
flows at its Union A venue pump station, and either use same immediately in its Allen Treatment
Plant, or exchange same up City Ditch to Mclellan reservoir, in Englewood's discretion.
Therefore, the parties have agreed as follows.
2. Centennial to Give Notice of A vailabiljtv: Englewood Response.
Centennial will advise Englewood, on a daily basis, of the amount of available return flows at
Englewood's Union Avenue pump station. Englewood will advise Centennial, on a daily basis, of
available retum flows Englewood will not be diverting.
3. Englewood to Attempt to Divert.
Englewood will make reasonable effons to lawfully divert the return flows at its Union
A venue pump station. Englewood shall have no obligation to divert:' a) if diversion would impair
the necessary quality of water introduced into Englewood's war.er treatmcnt plant or inttoduced into
City Ditch for exchange. as detennined in Englewood's sole discretion; b) except to the extent that
Englewood detennines to use the rerum flows immediately in its Allen Treatment Plant, plus the
exchange capacity in City Ditch: c) to the extent that the capacity in Englewood's pumping system
after supplying Englewood's demand is less than all of the available retum flows. Englewood shall
have no obligation to use the return t1ows immediately in its Allen Treatment PlanL While
Englewood shall make reasonable efforts to diven the return flows, the parties recognize that various
factors may make diversion impr:ictical. and Englewood shall have no liability to Centennial for
failure to divert. Englewood will account for return flows diverted at its Union Avenue pump
station .

[J
s. Englewood's Option to Acguire Return Flows Delivered to Mclellan Reservoir.
Englewood will account for the return flows delivered by exchange to Mclellan Reservoir.
Englewood will have the option to acquire the return flows delivered to Mclellan Reservoir {and
Englewood will acquire any return flows used immediately in Englewood's Allen Treatment Plant).
Within four days after the end of each week (ending Saturday at midnight) Englewood will notify
Centennial if it wishes to acquire all of the return flows delivered to Mclellan during that week.
Englewood will pay Centennial $85 per acre foot for all of the return flows which it acquires, and
pay the pumping costs associated with those return flows. Return flows so acquired by Englewood
shall be treated as Englewood's water for all purposes. and may be used by Englewood or delivered
to Centennial under any agreement between Englewood and Centennial .. Return flows delivered to
Mclellan as to which Englewood does not give such notice shall belong to Centennial.
6. Centennial' s Payment for Return Flows Acguired by Centennial.
Centennial shall acquire all return flows delivered to Mclellan Reservoir that are not
acquired by Englewood. Centennial shall pay Englewood $30 per acre foot of return flows acquired
by Centennial, plus all pumping costs associated with delivery of those return flows to Mclellan
Reservoir.
7 . Temporary Pumping Facilities from the Forebay Reservoir Next to the Allen
Treatment Plant.
Englewood currently injects granular activated carbon (GAC) into the forebay adjacent to the
South Platte River, from which Englewood's Union Avenue pumping station pumps water to the
Allen Treatment Plant facilities. (The GAC is injected because of the current severe quality
problems in the South Platte River.) The water containing the GAC is blackened in color and
therefore cannot be directly introduced into City Ditch for exchange purposes. Therefore, a
substitute supply of clear water to be exchanged up City Ditch must be pumped into City Ditch from
a forebay reservoir adjacent to the Allen Treatment Plant (not to be con.fused with the forebay at the
river). (Pumping of this substitute supply will be unnecessary if the GAC injection at the river
forebay should cease.) Englewood has no pump and pipe to accomplish the pumping of this
substitute supply from the forebay reservoir. Centennial will provide and install such a pump and
pipe . and hook it up to a power source, at Centennial's sole expense. Englewood ~d Centennial will
coo perate in determining the location, nature and installation of the pump and pipe. Ac the end of
this :igreement. Centennial will remove the pump, pipe and power hookup :it Centennial's sole
expense, unless the parties otherwise :igree . Centennial will restore any excavation or alteration of
the forebay and surrounding areas , at Centennial's sole expense.
8. Pumping C osts.
En glewood will reasonably determine pumping costs . which are to include power. other
o per:i tio n costs. :md maintenanc e.

9. Termination.
Either Englewood or Centennial may terminate this agreement after 5 days written notice to
the other party. If not so terminated, this agreement will terminate at the sooner of October 31, 2004.
or the cessation of flows in City Ditch below the Allen Treatment Plant. whichever sooner occurs.
unless the parties otherwise agree.
10. Payment.
Englewood will account for deliveries. Englewood will pay Centennial for return flows
acquired by Englewood within 30 days after the end of the month during which particular deliveries
were made to Englewood. Centennial will pay Englewood within 30 days after the end of the month
during which particular deliveries were made to Centennial .
11. State Engineer.
Centennial will be responsible for any necessary notice to the State Engineer's office,
assuring the State Engineer's office that its return flows are indeed reusable and divertible by
Englewood, and reporting to the State Engineer's office, in cooperation,with Englewood,

III. Introduction
We have studied the beneficial use of Littleton/Englewood (UE) biosolids since 1982 at
West Bennett, since 1988 at Kiowa, since 1993 at North Bennett, &nd since 1999 at Byers. We
lost one of the West Bennett sites to development and research at the Kiowa location is less
critical now that the joint city councils have purchased the Byers property. We will present the
proposed research and associated budget separately for all four locations and then present the
total budget for our proposed research.
IV. Bennett Study Sites
A. West Bennett
We established sites A and Bat West Bennett in 1982 and in 1983, respectively . Our
cooperating farmer, Jim Hazlett has sold site B for homesite development. We will continue
using West A since it represents the last of our original, long-term sites. Since we follow a
fallow system for our dryland wheat study, we would use this site every other year. We will
establish this site again in summer of2004 and will harvest the wheat in summer 2005. This site
will remain in fallow from July 2003 until late July or early August 2004 when we will again
apply LIE biosolids.
B. North Bennett
We initiated the North Bennett experimental location to replace the East Bennett plots
that we los t in 1993 . Our former cooperating farmer at East Bennett. Kevin Helzer decided to
grow irrigated cro ps on our study sites in 1993 . We also changed the experimental approach at
North Bennett to focus on determining the N equiva!ency of L'E biosolids associated with
repeated applic:itions in a dryland wheat summer-fallow agroecosystem. We will complete
harvest soil , grain, :ind straw samp ling and analyses as we have in the past.
We will :idd .-\g , Ba. and \fo to our plant :ind soil analyses ;ince C'SEP.-\ has added them
as potential pollutants to the CFR503 regulations . To cover the extra costs, we ,,·ill only take
one :innual rathe ~ four quarterly groundwater-well samples at the Kiowa research site.

C. Objectives for the Bennett study sites (West and North Bennett)
The objectives of the Bennett, study are:
1. To determine the continuing effects, at West Bennett site A, of various
sewage-biosolids rates on dryland wheat including grain yield, protein
content, potential income and the N, P, K concentrations after one
application ofliquid biosolids ( 1982) plus 11 additions of dried biosolids
(1984, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, l998,2000,2002,2004)with
the next scheduled biosolids application is in 2004.
2. To quantify the N equivalency of repeated biosolids application under
field conditions compared with colllQllelCial N fertilizer at our North
Bennett plots.
3. To study the long-term effects of L'E biosolids on soil accumulation and
wheat uptake of Ag, Ba, Cd. Cr, Cu, Mn. Ni, Pb, l\i~o, and Zn.
4. To study the long-term effects ofL'E biosolids on As, Hg, and Se levels in
soil and grain in the 0, 2, and 5 dry tons/acre plots for the North Bennett
site and on the 0, 3, and 6 dry tons/acte plots for West Bennett site A.
Samples will consist of a composite of all replications for each rate for
grain analyses. This gives three grain samples each for both North and
West Bennett. We also will composite separ:itely the 0-20 and 20-60-cm
soil samples from the same plots as the grain samples. This will provide
us a total of six soil samples to analyze for each site.
S. To determine the :iccumulated NO;-N levels to a depth of 180 cm (6 feet)
associated with repented application of various N fertilizer or sewage
biosolids at our West Bennett site A and North Bennett plots.

V. Kiowa Study Site
A. Introduction
We will continue to take water samples from the four wells on an annual basis (in July).
We will discontinue the quarterly sampling and analyses and use the savings to complete Ag, Ba,
and Mn analyses on plant and soil samples taken from the Bennen and Byers study sites.
Analyses will consist of total N, N01-N, 'NI-4-N, P, K, Ag, Al, As, Ba, Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Hg, Mn,
Mo, Ni, Se, and Zn. We also will analyze the annual samples for endrin, lindane, methoxychlor,
toxaphene, 2,4-0, and 2,4,5-T. The objective of this study is continued monitoring of
groundwater in four wells for total N, N01-N, Nl4-N, P, K, Ag, Al. As, Ba, Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Hg,
Mn, Mo , Ni, Se, Zn. endrin. lindane, methoxychlor, toxaphene, 2,+0, and 2,~,5-T following the
discontinuation ofbiosolids application (last application was in August 1998).

2. Biosolids/fertilizer treatments:
I
a. Biosolids application to supply N recommended for the
measured soil N03-N (e.g., the agronomic rate).
b. Commercial N fertilizer at the agronomic rate.
D. Experimental design
We will use two blocks (replications) of each treatment arranged in a split-plot design.
The main plots will consist of the cropping rotations. Each main plot will be split to
accommodate biosolids application on halfthe ·plot and commercial fertilizer ilddition on the
other half.
All phases of each rotation will be present each year to allow assessment of all soil and
crop responses each year. This requires a total of20 main plots and 40 split plots(:? replications,
10 cropping rotations, biosolids/fertilizer treatment splits).
Each main plot will be O.S km (0.5 miles) long by 30 m (100 feet) wide. Each
biosolids/fertilizer split would, therefore. be 15 m (50 feet) wide .
E. Measurements
We will complete the following measurements or analyses.

We will composite 0-5-cm soil samples for As, Hg, and Se
analyses for each replication before each crop planting. This will
give us 14 soil samples to analyze for As, Hg, and Se each year.
Deep soff sampling before each crop planting by hydraulic probe
for N03-N (determined 0-30, 30-60, 60-90, 90-120, 120-150, 150-
180 cm samples, if possible, from each replicated plot).
Concentrations of P, K, Fe, Mn. Cu, Zn. Na, Cd, Cr, Pb, Mo, Ni,
Ba, Mn. and Ag in grain sampled from each replicated plot
For annual As, Hg, and Se grain analyses, we will composite grain
samples for each biosolids or N fertilizer replication for each type
of crop. This scheme will provide us with eight wheat, four com.
and two sunflower samples for As, Hg, and Se analyses each year.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
August 2, 2004 11 a i Agreement for Englewood Shuttle
CMAQ Funding
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Community Development Department Lauri Dannemiller,
Community Development Manager
"•
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
In November 2002, Council approved application to the Denver Regional Council of
Governments (DRCOG) Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) funds for operation of
a Circulator Shuttle. In November 2003, the DRCOG and the Regional Transportation
District (RTD) approved the 2004 CMAQ and Surface Transportation Program (STP) Metro
funds to be transferred from the Federal Highway Administration to the Federal Transit
Administration for use by RTD as specified in the DRCOG 2003-2008 Transportation
Improvement Program. Due to federal funding constraints on CMAQ funds, notice of
release of this funding was not confirmed until early 2004.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt a bill for an ordinance approving an agreement
between the RTD and the City for operation of the Englewood Shuttle as detailed in the
attached agreement. The approval provides for $662,278 in CMAQ funding over three
years (2004-2006), for Englewood Circulator Shuttle Project #2003-093. Remaining
expenses will be shared by the City and RTD .
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Planning and feasibility studies for the Circulator Shuttle have been underway since early
1999. Following two studies indicating appropriate demand for a circulator shuttle, funding
for the project was initiated with DRCOG through their CMAQ federal funds. Notice of
the award initiated an implementation plan which has been underway, in coordination with
RTD , for over twelve months.
Receiving 80% of the project costs from CMAQ requires a 20% local match . In this
project, monthly invoices will be submitted for reimbursement to RTD up to 90% of the
,.
'
.·
• •
budget costs, (80% CMAQ/10% RTD) with the balance of expenses provided by the City.
Year #1 estimated costs are $282,176. Although the agreement does not create any
multiple fiscal year obligations for either party, it is assumed, providing federal funds are
available, that this contract will be renewed on an annual basis with RTD for two additional years .
Shuttle operations will begin September 7, 2004. Two brand new Eldorado National
shuttle buses, 16 passenger capacity (2 wheelchair tie-downs), will circulate throughout
CityCenter Englewood, downtown Englewood, and the Swedish/Craig/Meridian Complex
from 6:30 am through 6:30 pm. Monday through Friday, except major holidays. Both the
operation of the shuttle and vehicles will be supplied by Laidlaw Transit Services Inc ., as
detailed in a contract presented to Council on August 2, 2004, following approval of this funding .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Financial impact to the City is projected to be approximately $28,217 in Year #1 (Sept
2004-Aug 2005). Projected future costs are $27,213 in Year #2 (Sept 2005-Aug 2006),
and $276,177 in Year #3 (Sept 2006-August 2007). The Community Development
Department has budgeted for these costs in 2004 and will request future funding to cover these costs.

Development on first reading June 21, 2004. Council heard testimony at a Public Hearing on the
proposed PUD on July 19, 2004, and will be considering the PUD on final reading during the
August 2, 2004 City Council meeting. This proposed resolution approves the final plat of the
Englewood Estates Subdivision .
PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the Preliminary Plat of the Englewood Estates
Subdivision under Title 10 Land Subdivisions of the former Zoning Ordinance on February 6, 2004
at a Public Hearing in conjunction with the Englewood Estates Planned Unit Development The
Commission voted to forward the Final Plat to City Council with a recommendation for approval.
The vote was 9 to 0.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that Council approve the Final Plat of the Englewood Estates Subdivision and
accept the proposed land dedication with the following condition:
The effec tive date of the Resolution approving the Englewood Estates Subdivision be
the same as the effective date of the Bill for Ordinance approving the Englewood
Estates Planned Unit Development
BACKGROUND
The subject property is a vacant parcel of approximately 1.19 acres located at 1296 West Quincy
Avenue. The site is located in an area bounded by West Quincy Avenue on the north, West Radcliff
Avenue on the south, South Lipan Street on the east. and South Navajo Street on the west
Adjacent properties to the north, east. and south are zoned R-1-C Single-Family Residence District,
and con tain single-family homes. Adjacent properties to the west are zoned 1-1 and are used as
automoti e sales and engine repair.
ANALYSIS
The Planning Commission reviewed the Preliminary Plat and found that the following Conditions as
ou tlined in TIiie I 0, Section 10-2-4 : C had been complied with:
t
• •
-
1. The zoning of the property proposed for subdivision, together with the zoning of the areas
immediately adjacent thereto.
The proposed Englewood Estates PUD is bounded on the west by the 1-1 Light Industrial
District. To buffer the uses that are allowed within the 1-1 Light Industrial District, the applicant
has proposed a six (6) foot solid wood fence along the west boundary of the property. The
proposed zoning for the Englewood Estates PUD limits development to single-family residences,
which is compatible with the City of Englewood R-1-C Single Family Residence Zoned District
whi c h bounds the property on the north, south, and east.
2. The proposed layout of lots and blocks and the proposed dimensions thereof to demonstrate
compliance with yard area requirements.
The proposed lots are compatible with dimensions established by the Englewood Estates PUD
District Plan .
3 . The availability of all utilities, and the proximity thereof to the area proposed for subdivision.
Public water and sewer along with electric, gas, and communication utilities are available to the
subject property.
4. Topography and natural features of the land with special reference to flood plains.
The subject property is not located within an identified flood plain zone.
5. The continuity of streets and alleys within the area proposed for subdivision, and the design and
loca tion of such streets and alleys, with relation to existing streets and alleys. both within and
without the area proposed for subdivision, and the Master Street Plan .
The proposed Englewood Estates PUD is an infill type of development As a result, there are no
streets on the Master Street Plan that were proposed to service this 1.19 acre area. Any streets
built will be strictly to provide access to the lots created by this development
West Quincy Circle is a proposed one-way private street that is only wide enough to provide
access to the proposed development that it is being buih to serve. It is not possible to achieve
alignmen t with Lipan Street to the north without seriously impacting the buildability of lots 1
and 2 of this subdivision .
By m oving the inbound portion of West Quincy Circle 160 feet from South Lipan Street, all
ingr e ss conflict points are moved away from the Quincy/South Lipan Street intersection. In
ma ny res pe cts, West Quincy Circle is merely a driveway access for these seven homes .
6 . All rig hts-o f.way to be designated and located to facilitate the safe movement of pedestrians and
bicyclists.
Sidewalks are provided.
•'
7 . All bicycle and pedestrian facilities shall be selected, located and desisned in accordance with
current City standards .
o bicycle fa ci lit ie s are required for this proposed subdivision . Sidewalks are provided .
8. The location o f utility and other easements.

f • •
9. The location of, and provision (or, public areas, including land reserved for parks, schools and
other public uses .
No public reservation is required for this proposed subdivision.
10. The method o( handling drainage and surface water.
A drainage study has been completed as part of the proposed Planned Unit Development
application. Drainage issues have been addressed and will be monitored in the development
permit process.
The application was submitted under Chapter 16, Title 10, Land Subdivision, of the Englewood
Municipal Code which was the predecessor to the Unified Development Code (UDC) Tide 10. Title
10 required that residential property be subdivided through the Major Subdivision process when
more than three (3) lots were created or when dedication of public right-of-way was required.
The subject property is a single, vacant residential parcel containing or 1.19 acres. The subdivision
proposes to create seven (7) residential building lots. The layout of the lots is consistent with the
Englewood Estates Planned Unit Development (PUD).
The proposed lots will range from 5, 116 square feet to 6,750 square feet The average lot size of
the PUD is 5,784 square feet, which is comparable to the adjacent R-1-C Single-Family Residence
District which requires a minimum 6,000 square foot lot The proposed height of structures is 32
feet, which is the same as the maximum allowed in the Unified Development Code (UDC).
Setbacks are established by development envelopes specific to each lot as shown on the PUD
District Plan. In addition to the development envelopes, a provision that requires garage doors to
be set back a minimum of twenty-four (24) feet from the edge of West Quincy Circle has also been
added. West Quincy Circle, identified as Tract A, will be owned and maintained by the
Homeowner Association.
The seven City departments and divisions comprising the Development Review Team reviewed the
proposed subdivision. All identified development issues of the proposed subdivision have been
resolved. Water and sanitary sewer service is available to the site. Electric, gas and communication
utilities are available to the site and utility easements have been provided on the plat
The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning standards established in the Englewood
Estates Planned Unit Development and with the Comprehensive Plan, which identifies the site as
part of a residential area.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed subdivision will result in increased residential property tax revenues and development
fe es ge ne rated by future development of the seven residential lots.

RE: RFP for a Circulator Shuttle In the City of Englewood
Dear Ms. Dannemiller:
Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc. (Laidlaw) is pleased to submit this proposal in response to
the City of Englewood's Request for Proposal (RFP) to provide fixed-route shuttle
service.
We understand that the new Englewood Shuttle service will begin operations on
September 7" 2004. This service will utilize "cutaway" style transit vans operating
between the hours of 6:30 am and 6:30 pm. Service will ~rate weekdays throughout
the year, approximately 255 days per year. The service wlll offer increased mobility to
employees, lunchtime crowds, and to people accessing Englewood retail centers. Those
residents dependent upon transit will find this service easily accessible and convenient
due to the frequency of the bus operation. Ten-minute headways will afford convenience
and ease of use for those needing this service.
Laidlaw Transit will provide three cutaway vans, the drivers, maintenance, and
supervision, as well as insurance for this project. The City will provide route and fare
structure, as well as fuel for the project.
Laidlaw's proposal offers the City:
};> Our experienced Project Manager, Bill Hipp, who looks forward to partnering with
the City;
};> Superior training programs that are evident in our AFR, which is less than one-
third of the national average;
};> Our excellent location at 30 S. Raritan St., already established and in good
position for vehicle deployment;

};> Our experience with similar systems, includng Southeast Transportation
Authority, Blackhawk, Colorado, and the University of Colorado Health Sciences
Center; ·
};> Our 20 years of fixed-route experience; and,
,. Our understanding of the requirements of this system.
We look forward to establishin~a working relationship with the City. We acknowledge
receipt Addendum #1, dated ril 20, 2004. Laidlaw's proposal remains valid for four
months past the proposal due ate. Mr. Doug Gies, our Area General Manager, will be
your contact person for this proposal. He will contact you next week to discuss the next
steps. Mr. Gies can be reached at Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc., 30 South Raritan,

1.4 Capabllltiff and Experience
Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc. operates fixed-route and paratransit programs throughout
the United States . Unique aspects of each of the projects we operate require a hiah level
of customization at the local level. Th ere are, however, general elements that are
uniform throughout our many locations -operating procedures that ensure
dependability; maintenance guidelines and procedures to ensure service reliability;
customer relations to ensure passenger confidence, provision of an enviable workplace
for our employees, and safety above all.
Fixed-route services range in scope from deviated routes to local circulator& and
commuter bus service. We operate in many diverse areas -rural terrain in remote
desert communities, as well as congested freeways of major ulbanized areas. And
Laidlaw serves a wide range of passengers -those primarily reliant on transit f()( basic
mobility, as well as daily commuters who make the choice to leave their car f()( the
convenience of a bus ride .

Our paratransit programs range from curb-to-curb to door-to-door; group services to
individual dial-a-ride; ADA, general public and apeclal services to target populations. The
programs include immediate-demand, advance and/or same-day reservations and many
employ advanced technology such as scheduling software, A VLs (Automatic Vehicle
Location) and MDTs (Mobile Data Terminal).
We have operated bus service in the Denver metropolitan area since June 1989, when
we began operation of a portion of the fixed-route services for the Regional
Transportation District. We currently provide fixed-route transportation for the RTD,
utilizing 128 vehicles and transporting approximately 6.7 million passengers annually out
of our Commerce City facility.
Additionally, Laidlaw has operated ADA paratranslt services for RTD under more than
one contract. With the acquisition of the DAVE Transportation In 1997, Laidlaw has RTD
paratranslt experience dating back to 1995. We now operate 70 RTO-owned paratranslt
vehicles out of a facility Just south of downtown Denver on south Raritan Street.
In the Denver metropolitan area, we operate three different bus services or contracts
with three different agencies, providing service very similar to the service that will be
operated under the contract with the City of Englewood.
In September 1999, we began operation of the Southeast Transportation Authority's
(SETA) fixed-route -c1rculator" shuttle service. This 12-vehlcle service transports
210,000 passengers annually through a free transit shuttle service within a six square-
mile area of the Denver Tech Center business park. Like the Englewood service, the
SET A service operates on a 10-mlnute headway during morning and afternoon peak
hours, and 12-15 minute headways during off peak hours. This service operates from
6:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday. This service wlR experience continued
growth to meet the demand of commuters on the RTD light rail system. We operate this
service out of our proposed Raritan faclHty.
In July of 1998 we began operating the City of Black Hawk shuttle service In Black Hawk
Colorado. This service operates seven days a week, with various amounts of daHy
service depending on the day of the week. We operate this service on 15 to 20 minute
headways. Traffic in the City can vary greatly, depe11di11g on the time of year, so the
headway times vary somewhat. However, the scope and lize of this project Is very
similar to the City of Englewood Shuttle .
Finally, for the past 6 years we have operated a shuttle service ~ "cut-away" vans
for the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center (UCHSC). Thiil UCHSC 8huttle
operates between the 9"' street and Claremont main University Hoepltal, and the
Fitzsimmons Campus of the University. Utilizing three vehiclee, we operate service from
6:30 am and 6:30 pm, Monday through Fridays. Headways are 20 mlnutea aN day, with a
Fitzsimmons Campus loop operating also for the entire day. Except for the 20-minute
headways, this service is very similar to the Englewood service being propoeed.
Additional detail for these three services is provided In our referencee in Section 1.5.
1.5 Management Phlloeophy
Laidlaw Transit Services has established a phlloeophy that we cal ou, Noble Purpoee. It
is essentially a definition of why we exist and what we intend~ accomplah.OUr Noble

Regulations (CFR), specifically 49 CFR Part 655 and 49 CFR Part 40. Any individual
who tests positive on a pre-employment or pre-duty test for a prohibited drug will not be
hired for a covered function position.
Safety-sensitive employees are subject to random, post-accident, return-to-work and
follow-up testing. In addition to the removal from safety-sensitive functions required by
Federal Transit Administration Regulations, Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc. will take the
following disciplinary action against any individual who violates this policy:
J.> Any employee who tests positive for a prohibited drug or for alcohol with a
concentration level of 0.04 or greater will be discharged from employment with
Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc. Any employee who engages in any conduct that
constitutes a refusal to submit to a drug or alcohol test required under this policy
will be discharged from employment with Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc.
J.> Any employee whose alcohol test result is 0 .02-0.039 alcohol concentration will
be removed from duty for at least 24 hours or until his/her next regularly

Tutlng for Engll•h Proficiency
To ensure the applicants ability to read, during the interview our manager asks the
applicant to flip the application to the back P8{18 and read aloud the policy and procedure
regarding alcohol and drug testing. Reading this policy out loud re-enforces the
importance we place on having a drug-free work place. Afterwards, the applicant Is
asked to initial the three policies that we describe on the beck o4 our =lion. This will
also tell the interviewer the applicant's ability to read and underatand · .
If the applicant seems to understand and fluently communk:Bte in English, they wll then
be given the opportunity to enter the training program, subject to an of the other
employment qualifications.
As each applicant goes through training, there are ample opportunities to observe their
interactions with otflers and their abilities to communicate in-English. Test scores, taken
from verbal and written tests and quizzes, will accurately reflect these communication
abilities .
Performance Review
Laidlaw has developed a standard performance evaluation form in addition to an
interactive approach to performance expectations. Each individual is asked to fill out a
form in which they must list their job responsibilities, their goals, and their methodology
in reaching their goals. The form will be evaluated by the individual's supervisor to
determine agreement as to expectations and standards. The performance review is a
fair, formal and systematic method of judgi~ an employee's ability and perfonnance
according to the accomplishment of the goals 1n which were previously determined. The
performance review can be used as a motivational tool. It is also used by management
to help develop an employee , to identify strengths and areas requiri~J9ffl8flt as
well as a tool for making better promotion and reward decisions. refer to the

Assistance Guidelines for Elderly & Disabled Passengers (AGEDP) is our in-house
comprehensive training program that includes classroom lecture, discussion, videos
relevant to passenger assistance, and a hands-on practice applying classroom
knowledge to practical situations. This training program covers characteristics of major
disabling conditions, assistive devices, vehicle boardii:i9 procedures, vehicle condition
and operation, emergency procedures and basic vehicle and lift maintenance. The
session also covers the requirements for fixed-route drivers under the Americans With
Disabilities Act (ADA), such as calling out stops.
S...ltlv#ty Tralnl"fl
Laidlaw teaches drivers proper terminology such as "persons with disabilities" rather
than "handicapped people", "power chair" rather than "electric chair", and "hearing and
speech impaired' rather than "deaf and dumb", as part of our AGEDP train~. Sensitivity
training also teaches trainees about the different types of disabilities including auditory,
speech, behavioral, physical, and mental .

Laidlaw teaches the Smith System of Defensive Driving,
which is a nationally recognized safety program. It is easy
to remember and use in daily driving since it constantly
reinforces the five major rules:
1. Aim High
2 . Get the Big Picture
3 . Leave Yourself an Out
4 . Make Sure They See You
5 . Keep Your Eyes Moving .
Films , tapes and lectures , as well as Behind-the-Wheel instruction , are provided.
Discussions include a variety of hazardous conditions that demand alert and aklaul

))' Vehicle damage, such as vandalism.
City-Specific Training
We will work with City staff to build upon the training components that teach our
employees about the connecting tran~tlon systems and opportunities for passenger
transfer to those systems as part of Laidlaw's training program.
We will also provide continuous training in City policies, procedures and record-keeping
requirements as well as national, state, and local laws and regulations. Drivers are
trained to administer on-board surveys, route information, and distribute marketing
materials as needed.
FatN and F..,,,,_.
In this session, extensive instruction of tha City's fare structure (fares, passes, tokens,
etc.) and the mechanics of using the farebox are covered.
Behind-the-Wheel Training
As a new driver is trained, they go on the road with a Behind-the-Wheel Trainer who
teaches the basics of defensive driving and vehicle handing. In addition to our 32 hours
of classroom trainioV and 14 hours of cadet training, Lalclaw provicle8 24 hours of
behind-the-wheel training to each driver. The trainee also leams proper loading and
unloading procedures, proper securement and restraint procedures, paperwork
requirements, and service area characteristics.
Cadet Tralnln,
As a final step prior to revenue service certification, the new driver complete& their
training with an experienced driver. This training includes a minimum of 14 in-aervlce
training hours. Cadet training serves as an effecilve training reinforcement tool becauae
it is a transition from the training environment to the real wor1d of operations .

result of this approach reflects our ability to meet the requirements of any transit
operation and yield the quality of service expected by the City.
Laidlaw's dispatchers are cross-trained in vehicle operations as an added measure of
quality assurance in the event additional staffing is needed.
Laidlaw's formal training program for dispatchers is segmented into several sessions.
Each session is designed so the employee views a segment of videotape and then
completes exercises in a corresponding workbook.
This training program is structured as follows:
D1apatchl111J: What Your Job I• All About
This segment summarizes the "big picture" of a dispatcher's job and emphasizes that the
dispatcher is key in providing a safe and efficient transportation system, that their job is
complex and fast paced, and that they must often "wear several hets" at the same time.
Keeping the Sysf9m Moving: Your Role u • Coordinator
In this section, dispatchers leam to see themselves as the hub of a wheel of activity.
They are taught that they must accurately take information, make good decisions, and
then communicate with the drivers. The dispatcher is recognized as often having a
dffficult and stressful job because workdays are not predictable and they must quickly
make decisions. It is also recognized that they often cannot plan ahead because they
must respond to events as they occur.
The dispatcher learns it is critical that they make good decisions and they, therefore,
must be well informed about the policies and procedures of the City's transportation
system. Specifically, they must know scheduling procedures and guidelines, the service
area, current weather -and road conditions, fleet location, available services and
procedures in dealing with emergencies, and the City's transportation system policies.
Talldng to the Public: What to Say and How to Say II
This segment Instructs the dispatcher about serving In the role of a public relations
representative for the City's system. The communication skills that are emphasized are
careful listening, obtaining complete information, clarifying the lnfonnalion, providing
feedback, clearly communicating a decision, and maintainlng a polite, respectful, and
interested tone .
Duling with Drivers: What to Say and How to S.y II
In this segment, the dispatchers leam that how they speak is as important as what they
say . They also leam that they play a key role in relaying irfformation to drivers about any
routing or schedule changes . they leam the most effective techniquee to alert dri\191'8 to
situations that may change schedules, such as weather, an accident. or construction.
Dispatchers also leam how to serve as back-up for drivers during emergencies, either by
acting as a coach to help the driver through a difficult situation or by actually managing
the crisis. In addition, they are Instructed that In crisla situations, It is critical that they
have complete information from the driver regarding the location of the accident, a clear
definition of what has occurred and, most importantly, what support the driver needs.
They also leam why they must record this information on the appropriate forms .
Proper radio etiquette is emphasized while interacting with drivers by not only 8PNkina
clearly and concisely but also by using proper radio codes. A poeltive attitude iii
addressing drivers is also emphasized .
\

Further, appreciating the drivers' pressures in deaHng with demandng passengers,
schedule adherence, and adjustments to the changes ln achedules or routing, is also
emphasized. Anally, dspatcher training addresses that because they are aulhority
figures to the driving staff, dispatchers need to learn effective management skills
regarding their responsibility.
KNplng Record8: Why Th9y'nt lmpo,tllnl
In this section, dispatchers are taught that accurate and timely information la an
essential element in providing an exemplary service. ~learn the detal8 of the record
keeping function, which ranges from daily passenger , to customer complaints or
commendations, to accidents and vehicle breakdowns. segment emphasizes that
these records are crltical in determining the success of bolh the overall operation and
the dispatcher's performance.
Priorities are also established so the diapalcher can clearty understand they need to deal
with immediate issues regarding smoolh operations, but that the record keeping hn:tion
is not secondary in importance to on-the-road operations.
Puttlng It All T,,,,.,,_
In this section, the dispatcher is taught that their main function is to coorclnate the
system, communicate with the public, communicate with the driY8r8 and maintain
accurate records. Not only are the previous units summarized and prioritized but specific
information such as other services offered, service hours, 8P8Cillc Wlhicle ~
(types, ages, wheelchair accessibility), number of vehides (revenue and spare),
passenger types and City-specific policies are all taught

5.0 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
5.1 Safety Program
During all aspects of each operational day, in every employee review, and at every
management and employee meeting, safety la the moat Important Item dlacuaed.
Safety Excellence Program
A key component of Laidlaw's overall safety programs
is our Safety Excellence Program that includes a
number of highly effective safety initiatives to ensure
that we maintain a leadership role throughout the
industry in this area of vital importance. Among these
programs is our annual theme that is currently "You
Are The Key to Safety Excellence", the Master Driver
program, various incentive programs, and the Safety
Solution Team (S.S. T.), which are highlighted below.
Anneal Theme
Our 2004 theme "You Are The Key to Safety Excellence" promotes daily safety
awareness in all Laidlaw project locations to ensure our customers receive safe,
dependable service. This theme is a reminder
that it is up to every member of the team to be
alert to and report safety hazards and to be well
versed in all safe-driving practices. With this
annual theme, management focuses attention on
the everyday issues that affect safety including
the following:
Preventing Unufe Am and "30f)2ft'f"-
Preventing the unsafe act means eliminating the
risk of its occurrence. Laidlaw defines safety as
freedom from risk. If we act safely, we have no
risk or, if we act safer, we have less risk.
Eliminating or reducing risk requires that we
change human behavior and that everyone thinks
and functions as a safety manager. We encourage every Laiclaw project location to
establish and reinforce sate norms.
To help our employees understand unsafe acts, we follow the safety theory referred to
as "300/29/1" which means for every 300 unsafe acts, 29 minor accidents result and one
catastrophic accident occurs. There is only one way to avoid the otherwise inevitable
injuries : Prevent the Unufe Actl
lnvolw,ment and The Sltfefy Solution TNffl (S.S. T.}-Continual awareness of safety
is instilled through our annual safety theme not only in the WOfkplace but also at home,
with the family and in the car. Laiclaw encourages continuous reintoroement or personal
accountability to ensure the safety of our customers, our team members, and each
employee .
Our safety program encourages employee inwlvement that ii vital to the auc:cesa of
every Laidlaw project location . One example ii the s..ty SCM*1 Tan (S.S. T.) that
facilitates ou r Safety Excellence Program. The S .S . T. is compriNd or faclllty team
members and includes drivers, operations support staff, and management. We aleo
• 31 • L4IOLAW
T RANSIT SERV ICES . I N C

-~ ••
• •
highly recommend that our clients participate and become part of this team. The S.S. T.
gains employee support in identifying safety concerns, and in developing and
implementing effective safety solutions.
While the primary purpose of the S.S. T. is to discuss safety issues, it often becomes the
forum for many other safety-related topics as they relate to employee matters. The
Project Manager, who provtdes a facilitator function for the group, encourages this
expansion of purpose.
After the annual theme kickoff, monthly performance forms (depicted below) are used by
each operation to track safety performance of each team and each individual. •. ....,
S.'9tf &ce11ence Goat./Rewarm
Goals for annual accident reduction for each Laidlaw project location
are set by the Vice President of Safety and Security, in conjunction with
local management and training staff.
To reward the attainment of safety goals quality awards are given to
individuals at the end of each month. Awards can include plaques,
shirts, jackets, rings, and a variety of premium awards. This company-wide program has
been highly successful. Rewarding employees encourages others to contribute.
Project Award• -At the end of each quarter, project locations can eam award
recognition that can include the following:
;. Zero Accident Freque!'CY Rate (no reportable accidents and no Workers'
Compensation claims) dunng the fiscal year,
, Safety Performance Improvement (over the prior fisca1~'88r), and
, Safety Solution Team (S .S. T.) excellence (baaed on team contributions,
successful safety suggestions that are implemented, and aulatlng our Project
Manager in developing safety solutions).

t

-••
• •
~ The annual Safety Excellence Award, the very highest honor, is presented to a
single Project Manager whose project location performance (based on the above
criteria) has proven to be the very best in the country.
Safety Incentive Program -We promise our customers safe, dependable service and
at Laidlaw we recognize that every individual has a role to play and a personal stake in
our success. With that in mind, we have established an incentive system at each of our
operating locations where participants eam points for safety knowledge and safe
behavior. Every month there are 1,500 points available to all participants who do not
have a reportable accident. 1,000 of these points are Project Point. that are available
when the Project meets the Safety Excellence Standard:
~ Project met Incident Goal.
~ Project held monthly safety meeting.
~ Project submitted Monthly Performance Report and SST Minutes in timely
manner.
500 Personlll Point. are available by calling the toll-free Safety Excellence Quiz Line
and answerin_g three questions correctly. The questions differ each month. A score of "3"
earns a "key' and 500 points. If the employee collects all twelve keys (by answering
three questions correctly every month), an additional 2,000 points are awarded at the
end of the year. Monthly statements are distributed to employees showing their current
balance. The points are used to obtain merchandise from Laidlaw's Safety Excellence
Catalog of Awards, such as jewelry, camping equipment and kitchen accessories. Points
can rolT over from the previous fiscal year.
Note: Any participant that has a reportable accident or worker's compensation claim is
ineligible for Personal Points and Project Points even if the Safety ExceUence Standard
is met.
When measured against other providers, Laidlaw's Accident Frequency Rate is
consistently one of the lowest 1n the nation. When measured against our own
performance, It is at an all-time low. All of our Safety Programs, Including the safety
incentive program, help ensure that Laidaw keeps or focus o n safety.
Safety Leadership CourN
Another innovative program that Laidlaw has developed for nationwide implementation is
an interactive Safety Leadership Course in which all Laidlaw management and
supervisory staff are required to participate. This self-directed course is approximately
~:x hours and comprised of five CD's that cover our company's philosophy about safety
1 risk management, the nature of accidents, behavioraf insights, Laidlaw's safety
.>grams , leadership, and an overall program review.
It is Laidlaw's belief that managing risk and promQting safety leadership will help us
ach ieve our goals. We believe that developing a corporate culture that supports
managing risks and safety begins at the top and reflects our belief In Laidlaw's Noble
Purpose of "Dedicating ourselves to helping people reach their destinations" and
specifically supports our Promise No. 3 to "Provide safe and dependable service", which
is all brought to life by our front-line leaders. For thoee reasons, we depend on each
leader to encourage all our employees to help each other work together, partner for
constant improvement, and treat each other with reaped.
La idlaw never compromises on safety. We view every front-line leader as a rilk
manager . Our Safety Leadership Cour9e shows each front -line leader how to take
actions to reduce the occurrence of accidents and make our wortcpLice safe.

Mandatory Safety Meetings
All employees are required to attend monthly safety meetings. Attendance is
documented and employee time is compensated. City staff is welcome to attend these
meetings and will be encouraged to participate as a guest speaker.
EPA Compliance Training
We educate our employees and have an established formal policy regarding the use of
or exposure to potentially hazardous materials in the workplace. We have corporate staff
dedicated to ensuring that we comply with all EPA requirements.
Accident Reporting
Formal guidelines are followed for handli~ every accident, which is Judged as either
reportable or non-reportable using the National Safety Council guidelines that state a
reportable accident is one in which the driver failed to do everything reasonably possible
to avoid the a-=cident.
If an accident is determined to be reportable, the driver responsible is required to
undergo retraining and must display proficiency in the area of retraining before they
resume revenue service. Any driver Involved in a serious reportable accident (one
involving serious injury, fatality, or extensive property damage) is immediately
suspended, pending a thorough investigation.
Each accident is fully investigated by the Driver Development & Safety (DDS) Manager
and Project Manager. All accidents will be reported to the City immediately and will be
followed with a copy of the written report.
Flow charts of the procedures follow:
Road Obaervlltlons
Another important tool that promotes safe conduct of our drivers is the road observation
report . Road Supervisors regularty complete these reports on either an unobserved
basis (Road Observation Report -which may be conducted at any time) or while riding
on the bus. The Road Supervisors wiN conduct observed ride checks on each driver at
least once every 12 months. In addition, aH new drivers shall receive an on-board, in-
service evaluation check within 30 days of completion of training.
OMV Records
Laidlaw participates in Pull-Notice Programs in states where it is available . Thie
program enables us to automat=eceive a copy of an employee's motor vehicle
rec ord when there is a citation or t on the employee's record.

Our staff takes pride in our safety performance. We have aggressive safety programs
and procedures in place to ensure that we experience as few accidents as possible. We
have a strict definition of reportable accident. We define a reportable accident as one in
which the driver failed to do everything reasonably possible to avoid the accident.

We are proud of our safety record. Our ulwtt:::9"' ha reaulted In an Accident
Fr.quency Rate (AFR) that la one of the In the country. These stati&tlcs
prove our effectiveness.
Laklaw's AFR of .65 per 100,000 miles for 2003 is less than one third of the FTA's
national industry average AFR of 2.29 (FTA moat recent report 2001). Many of our
competitors have AFR ratios nea double Lalclaw'a low AFR.
Safety is number one with
Laklaw, and we have proven
this time and again. Selecting
Laidlaw as your transportation
service provider means protecting the safety of your clllzena and ollering them one of
the best services in the country.
We travel in many dfficult operating environments -not the laa8t of which is the
congested Los Angeles metropolitan area, but also we operate safely throughout the
United States in areas as diverse as remote mountain regions, desert communities,
large cities and smaH towns. Not only do we operate on various terrains, but also in
difficult weather -ranging from dust storms in the desert to snow storms and extreme
rain in many other areas. Drivers navigate through these conditions aklllfully -always
mindful of their responsibility for tha safe operation of their vehicle.

Those residents dependant upon transit will find this service easily accessible and
convenient due to the frequency of the bus operation . Ten-minute headways will afford
convenience and ease of use for those needing this service.
Laidlaw Transit will provide three cut-away vans, the drivers, maintenance, and
supervision, as well as insurance for this project. The City will provide route and fare
structure, as well as fuel for the project.
Scheduling and Dispatching of Vehicles
Vehicles will be scheduled from 30 S. Raritan, using dispatchers already in place. The
dispatchers will monitor and maintain morning and afternoon dispatch and relief of
drivers. They will maintain radio control of all vehicles in-service and the daily dispatch
log. They will communicate with the drivers via Nextel 2-way radio. Dispatchers will
insure dnver sign in, and will schedule and dispatch fill in drivers should the need arise .
Spare Location/Activating Spare
Our spare bus will be located at the 30 S. Raritan facility. The closest major cross streets
are Alameda and 1-25. The vehicle operator will use the Nextel 2-way radio to our
Project Manager or designated representative if in need of assistance, and the spare
bus will be dispatched to the location. The spare bus will be deployed, in the event of
vehicle failure, within 30 minutes to replace the failed vehicle.
Fare Handling and Accounting ProcedurH
We have developed and tested farebox collection procedures that guarantee the fuU
accounting for ail fare revenues. We will provide the City with copies of all individual
daily deposit slips and bank deposit advisees and the monthly bank account statement
for reconciliation of the daily deposits.
Our revenue collection and reconciliation procedures are designed to minimize the
potential for abuse. This is in reaponae to our responsibility to safeguard our client's
financial resources. Our system as described below, Is baaed upon the principles of
limited access, specific individual accountablllty, and joint responsibility of monies prior
to deposit. We will monitor daily fare collection activity from the route driver thl'OUl1' bank
deposit. Each element of the system will be reconciled against total reyenues to ensure
that no losses occur. Should reconclllation Identify losses, we wlll act lmmec:lately to
identify the source of the loss and apply appropriate measures to correct the situation.
City fare revenues are a crucial element of our operation. We will ensure that monies are
transported to and from bank facilities in a secure manner and will supply an ~uate
number of farebox vaults to meet daily service and bank collection demands. Additional
vaults will be available as spare equipment.

The type of farebox collection and reconciliation in the RFP is very similar to the
procedures we currently use for our RTO Access-a-Ride services operated from the
proposed Raritan facility. Our staff is familiar with farebox monies, and how to manage
the safe keeping of those dollars.

Preventive &fain~
We utilize a preventive maintenance inspection system founded on progressive mileage
and days . For example, Laidlaw often performs Critical Item Inspections every forty-five
days or 3 ,000 miles, whichever comes first, and major inapecllons occur on mileage and
time parameters based on the specific fleet and contract requirements.
Our tailored Inspection and Preventive Maintenance checklist ensures that wear
conditions are :>nitored and repairs are completed before they constitute a safety

maintained in the vehicle file for the entire life of the vehicle.
Our Maintenance Manager assigns timely preventive maintenance inspections. A weekly
Maintenance Report is then provided to the Project Manager as part of the Laidlaw
Contract Management System.
Wheelchair lifts are thoroughly checked and maintained in-house, and our lift service
procedures are customized to address specific fleet requirements.
Fluid changes during preventive maintenance inspections occur at the 6,000-mile
interval or manufacturer recommendation; the transmission fluid and filter change
interval is scheduled on manufacturer recommendations; and antifreeze is tested for
proper DCA levels at the 24,ooo-mlle interval.
Laidlaw's tire replacement policy requires no less than 5/32 tread for front tires and 3132
tread for rear tires, thereby exceeding DOT specifications of 4132 for front and 2/32 for
rear tires. Laidlaw requires that all installation personnel, Including outside shops, follow
the Laidlaw Wheel Installation Procedure without fall or exception.
Pre-Trip lnepectlo,ta
Thorough daily pre-trip inspections are required by our drillers before any vehicle is
driven. Any vehicle defects are noted, and a complete cycling of the wheelchair lift is an
integral part of the pre-trip inspection to avoid lift failures. Our Project Manager is
responsible for ensuring proper procedures are followed. A sample "Daily Vehicle

It is important to keep vehicles maintained 12 months a year, and you may be assured
that our program is tailored to meet that obligation.
Laidlaw's preventive maintenance program for HVAC systems is defined by our fleet
configuration and operating environment.
Dally Servicing Procedures
Laidlaw's maintenance personnel perform the following daily servicing procedures.
Body Damage-To ensure the best appearance of vehicles, both the driver (during the
daily pre-trip inspection) and the utility person are required to identify any body damage,
which is immediately corrected.
Potlt·Trlp Inspection -At day's end, the driver completes a thorough post-trip vehicle
inspection that also includes the daily cleaning specified below.
Farebox -Laidlaw empties fareboxes, as a part of daily servicing. We have strict
measures to ensure security of passenger fares.
Tire Preuure -For safety, tire inflation is checked at least once weekly. This
maximizes tire life and provides a safety check in addition to pre-trip inspections. Air
pressure is also checked during the preventive maintenance inspection.
Fueling -Fueling is completed at the end of each operational day; detailed records of
fuel and oil consumption are monitored, which serve as a tool for reconciliation of total
fuel amounts used .
Cleaning of Vehicles

effectively maintaining the vehicles' appearance.
Vehicle exteriors will be cleaned twice weekly or more often If needed. Vehicles will be
completely washed and tires cleaned at this time. Tires and bumpers will receive special
attention to ensure their appearance meets our standards . ..
