We have comments from Council Members who arc leaving us . We will start with our Council Member from District One. {i) Comments by those departing City Council. Council Member Nabholz said I think 'thank you ' is a very small word for what I have experienced in my six years on City Council. Of course, you are going 10 have your valleys and your hills, but there have been a lot more hills . I have been so fortunate to be elected by the people, to have you encourage me during the dark times, but also to have an awesome City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Directors, staff and City employees. I never did anything alone. I've always believed in partnerships between citizens, businesses, government and you have allowed me to do that. And it is a very humbling experience. It has been a very big learning experience and I thank you for your support. There was applause from the audience. Council Member Grazulis said well you know me ... I am never at a loss for words. Mayor Bradshaw asked her if she had a list. She replied yes. Mayor Bradshaw said for those of you who do not know. Julie made lists and if we called on her too late in the meeting, she would go on and on with these lists. And they were very important items on the list . Council Member Grazulis said first of all I would like to thank my family for giving up Mondays without me . Maybe it was good, maybe it wasn't. We used to celebrate Mondays as family home evening and now we can do that once more, and it is kind of bittersweet in that way, because I would love to be here, but I will love being at home also. I thank them for all their support. This has been a class act, this Council, and working with you has truly been a pleasure. I don't know how else to say it except for thank you. Thank you for all the encouragement and support and the ideas. And I am glad that we were never I 00 per cent right, because it did provide that much needed diversity, which is like it is in our community ... because we don 't all agree on a lot of things. I want to thank my constituents, and that is not a diny word, it is a very, very good word if you look it up in Webster's, because they arc the people who you owe all your decision- making to and you must listen and you must be accountable to them. They were my boss, actually. I was just trying to carry out some of the things that they wanted. Our City Manager Gary, Mike, Sue, Susan, Leigh An,n and Paulctta ... they were my right-hand people and !just want to thank you for all of your encouragement and all your support. I think we have, in Englewood, one of the greatest Judges. We do and he is very fair with children. if you ever see him in action, he really is . Our Community Development Department, Bob and hi s staff. they always do the best that they can possibly do for the community. And even tho ugh we don't always agree, we arc going to arrive at the same place,just two different paths . I have great trust in Frank Gryglewicz. I always have had great trust in him, that he is trying to do the best for our Ci ty and trying to always maintain that 10 per cent. We have a very fair Human Relations department with Sue Eaton and I have always trusted her deci sions. Don Ingle and hi s staff are absolutely wonderful, especially si nce I have been dealing with them recently. They are just truly, truly good people. I have a love affair with the Library, of course. Tliey arc absolutely wonderful. It is one of the best libraries around . If you haven't been there, I encourage you 10 go often . Even with the reduced number of people, they are still maintaining the best and it's great. Public Works ... there is a lol of work that is out there that you don't notice that is being done. But, you would notice if it wasn't.. .with the streets, the lights a nd the maintenance. They do a spectac ular job ... Kcn Ross and hi s guys. We have had our differences over the years, but they arc great. Parks and Recreation ... Jerrell is one of my most favorite people. He is probably one of the most honest people who wants 10 do the best for Englewood. I can't wail until Pirates Cove opens. Capital projects with Rich Kahm ... he is so committed 10 the City, he is a magician. He can pull ma gical things out of a hat and make them happen . He truly can. The City Atto rney's office ... top notc h . I always have complete trust in them ... Dan , Nancy, Duggan and the rest of your staff. you arc 10 be commended for all the decisions and the rough things you ha ve to go through. C hri s Olson and all of hi s people. the police and the fire, they care the most about Englewood. Utilities, with S tu Fonda and his staff. You know when I came o n board five years ago. I did not know that much about the water situation in E ngle wood . I have learned so much and I have so much respect and I am so proud to be a citizen of Englewood for the las t 24 years, because of all the right directions that have been taken wnh the water. When anything came up before Council regarding water. I knew if Stu had his name ' • • Enaiewood City Council November 17, 2003 Pqe3 on it, it was to be trusted and was okay. So. I just want to thank you Stu. It tastes good too .. .I think it tastes great. I was at a Kiwanis meeting this last week and it was brought forward that some of the members of the Chamber, who vehemently went against the head tax. and it did not pass ... that perhaps some of these businesses could come forward and help sponsor some of the unplanted flower gardens, because we don't have the money, and maybe they could help sponsor the parade this next year, because those are some of the first places we had to take money out of. I just want to end up by noting that Englewood is still in good hands with all of you that are still left. I take this opportunity to thank you all . I am not going away. because I am still going to be serving on different committees, but on the other side. So, maybe I will be listened to mon:, I don't know. (just want you to know that as I step down, that now, I am going to be your boss and you can listen to me a little better and I want you to fly right. I love Englewood and I will still be here.

Scheduled Vlslton (a) Colleen Bowen was scheduled to speak, but wa not present. t .• • • -=. • Englewood City CouncU November 17, 2003 PageS (b) Judy Rough said I am with the Food Bank of the Rockies. I am here because I wanted to clarify what the Food Bank of the Rockies is and what we are applying for, in terms of the Aid for Agencies in Englewood. One of the things I think is confusing, and I know it was for me when I joined the Food Bank, is that many times people think of food banks, as the place where people go to pick up food when they are in need. Food Bank of the Rockies is not that. We are a huge organization, which is really a very large warehouse where agencies come to us . Agencies such as other food banks, food pantries ... you know there are all different names for the types of agencies . Here in Englewood, you have 15 agencies that are members of the Food Bank of the Rockies . And, what I am asking for is that you invest in those agencies and help us . We have done great work with these agencies, but it is not enough. So, for instance, out of the 15 agencies, 122,713 pounds of food were delivered to your Englewood agencies . But even with that, they have come up short. They don't have enough to handle the poor in your community. Maybe over the years there has been a misunderstanding in terms of the semantics, the words chosen, but we call it a credit line . And what we do is we establish, through the money that you grant, a credit line for each particular Englewood agency , so that they can come to us and get the food they need for their food bank, food pantry, teen mother program, halfway house or whatever type of agency that they an:, for helping the needy within your community. So, for example, if you award us the $3,000.00 that we have ai;ked for, and we disburse that money amongst those 15 agencies, lets say one particular agency gets $200.00. That equates at the Food Bank to well over 1000 pounds of food . Not something that you and I can get at a grocery store. We have the power to give them food at a very, very inexpensive price. There is a price for some of it, as much as 18 cents a pound, but a lot of it is also free . The average works out to about 8 cents a pound for food for these agencies. So this is something we look at as very, very important and hope that you will consider helping us out. Because we do ... we get to so many people. The Food Bank of the Rockies serves 750 agencies in northern Colorado and all of Wyoming . We want this money, which would solely be for your agencies in Englewood . Not one dime of it would leave the Englewood area. So, I ask you to really look at this . I know that next month you will be reviewing the Aid to Agencies grants and we really would like your consideration in this matter. We feel that maybe, over the years. there has been a misunderstanding about exactly what we are trying to do and what we are going to use the money for . So, she said, I hope that it is, clear to you. I also have brought with me a CD that has an I I-minute little explanation about the Food Bank. which I would love to give to the City Clerk and you 're welcome to vi~w it . You can view it on a computer. Do you have any questions at all? Council Member Bradshaw said does Inter-Faith Task Force gee food from you? Ms. Rough replied yes. Many agencies that I am sure you have heard of, like the Denver Rescue Mission ... the big ones, they gel food from us, as well as small ones. One of them that I mentioned in the paper work to you, that you have here in Englewood, is called Age of Good News. And the Age of Good News Center is serving only a third of the people who want help from him . He doesn't have the money to serve the balance of the people . He is turning people away . So this money would go to an agency like his in your community and make sure that he is extending that reach a little bit further . Our great concern at the Food Bank, this year, is the fact that heating costs. as we all know, are supposed to skyrocket. One of the problems with people who are ... what wc consider at risk. who are needy ... when they get their bills, a bill is something that comes to you, you look and see an exact amount and that is what you are going to try to pay. Your food bill is sort of whatever you can lit in . These people will omit that or sacrifice that to pay that bill that has been mailed to them with a printed amount. So when you think something is going up 70 per cent, where is that money supposed to come from for someone who is needy and who is at risk . And we are talking about the working poor primarily . Very few of these people are not doing anything about earning. They are trying, they arc doing their best, but they ca n't make ends rneec . So, I am asking you to please look at that paperwork that I have sent to you and hopefully you will approve the $3,000.00 that we are looking for al the Food Bank of the Rockies . Thank you . (c) Amy Meyer was sched uled to speak. but was not present. (d ) Jill Wilson was scheduled to speak. but was not present . (c) Connie Rauz, said I ltve at 1026 West Princeton Place. which I by Jason Part. I asked to come to 1h1 , mecung tonight to di scus the no -leash law at Jason Park . We watched the part. beina built . .. t • • Englewood City Coundl Novelllbcrl7,2003 Page6 I've lived there 43 years. We worked on committees so that the park could be built. There arc organized soccer games, T-ball games, volleyball games, rugby games, softball games, flag football games, weddings, class reunions, church services, greduations ar.d large family picnics, in addition to the playground equipment. It is rare not to have someone there, even in inclement weather. Since the no-leash was rescinded at Bates, we have had a marked increase at Jason Park. And with the dry weather now, the grass is terrible. There arc large spots and you can't wash away the feces or the urine. The sprinkler systems arc not on. I have no idea how the park is going to handle it, in the spring, when we will have all our organized sports going on again. I know this subject has gone on, and on and on. I've read all the articles in all the papers and that is what prompted me to come and speak tonight. Again, I say, our problems arc the same at Jason as Bates had ... the large amount of dogs and the damage that has been done to the parks now. 7 . Ullldleduled Villton (a) Louise Marshall, 3021 South Logan Street, said the first thing I have to say is congratulations to this new City Council. I am really excited. I am here tonight representing a passionate group of Englewood residents. And, as you all know, we arc very tired of the tension and bitterness in the north area of Englewood that the reaction to man's best friend, the dog, has created. We arc askinl you tonight to wipe the slate clean, start over and, as ex-Council Member Grazulis stated on October 6 • to "predicate compromise". We arc asking you to discuss and formally support, tonight, a Task Force between Englewood citizens and the Parks and Recreation Department's open space manager, to study the viability of fencing some areas of Englewood parks for the safety of all park users. We arc not asking for the formation of specific dog parks, but rather to explore and study the feasibility of implementing safe areas at already established City parks where dog owners can exercise their best friend and respect the safety and rights of all other park users. With your blessing we would like to work in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation Department to formulate a well-organized and planned proposal to praent to you at a later date. This would take into account studying available space, establishing criteria, ensuring safety, exploring funding and private donations. We promise to incorporate all community input to formulate a successful and fair proposal. Thank you for positively supporting the formation of this Task Force. We think that if we can all work together that we will have harmony in the community and a successful resolution to this community issue. Thank you once again for your prompt response to this request. There was applause. (b) Traci Rasmussen, 4520 South Pennsylvania Street, said I have been taking my dog to Jason Park since early last spring. before members of the community that were going to Bares Logan Park began taking their dogs to Jason Park. because the off-leash law had been changed back to on-leash. In that time that I took my dog to Jason Park before the Bates Logan folks started joinilig us. I met one dog owner and her two dogs. That's it . I have to say that since the people from Bates Logan Park have been corning to our park. ihcrc have been a lot more dogs, but also a lol more sense of community and my dogs have been so happy ... just unbelievably social and ii is a nice environment. It is not the lonely park that it used to be. I realize with more dogs coming to one park , there is more responsibility and so I wllllled to take it upon myself to do a little bit of something. Last Tuesday I sent out an e-mail. We have a large number of us that arc on an e-rru:il list that communicate about our parks and about taking care of them. By Wednesday morning. I had several volunteers 10 help me in a cleanup process for any messes that might be missed in the evening hours or for, I suppose , a few negligent people out there that aren't cleaning them up . In that e -mail, I also brought up a few things and that is just to increase the awareness for people to keep their dogs off the soccer fields and baseball fields . Even though, right now. there arc no games going on. we all know that dogs will want to continue their own practice and by springtime mipt be NMinl OUI in those areas. So. -have been trying hard to stay away from thoec areas anyway. I have to say, in the three days we have been doing this, having this organized cleanup day with several volunceen ... jUSI lul Wednesday, Friday and Sunday .. .I have seen a significant difference. So. I guess I just wanled to let you folks know what I'm doing for my part . I am not a big public speaker. so obviously thi s is a vsy pass ionate cause of mine and I really have enjoyed the increase of people that arc using the park with their dogs. Thank you. There was applause . • • - Englewood City Council November 17, 2003 Pqe 7 (c) Pete Walter, 2845 South Lincoln Street, said I would like to add my voice to the need of a Task Force to establish permanent off-leash dog parks. I believe that the time is right to look at concrete, proven improvements that take into account the needs and concerns of dog owners, non-iiog owners and other users of the Englewood Park system. The issues that we arc working through here in Englewood, with regard to off-leash dog parks, have been dealt with successfully in dozens of cities and towns throughout the country and here in Colorado, including Denver . Best practices abound and there is ample evidence to suggest that where off-leash dog parks have been thoughtfully planned and formally established, they are a positive impact on the community and are an integral part of a park system that is inclusive rather an exclusive. I understand that this is a politically charged issue at this time, but I can think of no better time to resolve it, in a transparent and positive way, than by appointing a Task Force with input from the open space parks and recreation staff. I applaud the City's efforts to mediate this dialogue and I hope that you will continue to be proactive on this issue . I would feel privileged to help out with such a group, if Council decides that this is a good idea as well . Thanks very much for this opportunity and I hope you will make a decision that Englewood citizens can be proud of. There was applause. (d) Mary Bassett, 3026 South Sherman, said before I get started with my questions and discussion, I would like to present to you some pictwcs that Jill Wilson would have presented today if she could have made it and these are pictwcs of Bates Logan during times that dogs and people apparendy used the park. They are morning and afternoon pictwcs. And I do,1 't have the actual times, but I can certainly find that out for you. Ms . Bassett presented the pictwcs to Council. When you get a chance to look at these pictwcs, and unfortunately I don't have copies for everybody who is here, you are sure to notice how empty the park is . There are only a few occasions when there are, I would say, five or six people eating at a picnic table and that is the total amount of people who are actually using Bates Logan. Again. I want to personally emphasize, as a person who pays taxe~ in our City and sees an empty park, I feel a loss of tax dollars. I don't see a community being built and I don't see a bencfil to an empty park . I see a benefit, especially to a communily. 10 a park thal is being used. Obviously Bates Logan was a very Slrollg communily builder with the dog owners. I also wanl to emphasize my support for the idea of a Task Force on this issue. I have attended several of the S1udy Sessions, because my intcrcsl in City government has become quite high with this issue . I have become very perplexed and confused on some of thc processes 1ha1 go on in deciding how our Ci1y government works and how things are passcd and how Code is changed. For instance, I was al today's discussion where our Ci1y Attorney wu reviewing some of the processes and the way things are presented and passcd. One of thcm being a change in Code. There would have to be a Study Session before an actual change in Code. When I wenl to lalk to our City Attorney afterwards for more clarification, especially regarding the issue of removing an off-leash park from a list of parks thal were going to be designated as off-leash. I uked if tha1 wun'I, essentially, changing thc Code. He s1arted going into ... no, thal ordinance, no this is ... and I did get a little confused. My though! being that, for instance, if our Council passed a law saying thal people arc allowed lo drive in cars with thc exception of documenl Band if document B kept changing , aren't you in fact changing the Code? So, I am kind of confused again aboul how things are processed . Basically, whal I am asking for, in some respects, and would like lo know as a citizen of Englewood, is clarification on how things are run in our government When things can be pul on agenda, when Ibey can be removed, especially if Ibey are a lopic lhal holds a lot of passion in 1he community . ls 1hcre a way we can gel valuable inpul from our City Parks and Recreation people, because they arc the people, I think, 1ha1 would be best qualified to make the decisions on the qualily of the park , wha1 is going on in a park and when ii is affec1ing the quality of thal park. I think it would be grcal 10 have input from lhcm. and have 1ha1 inpul listened to, as well u inpul from the communi1y . I'm learning more and more about this Tuk Force and ii sounds like ii would be an exccllenl opportunily 10 slart getting 1hose people involved in the decision making process. rather than hearing from a select group of communi1y members, who arc all very passionalc on the subject. bul, what we really ~ to have. are the expens involved. as well. That is all I have 10 say . Thank you . There was applause . (e) Tom Bums, 3600 South Bannock Street, said I jus1 wanted 10 welcome the new members of Council ... Lauren and Ray . and thank Bev for her services u Mayor for thc pul 1wo years . Doua, I am delighted that yo u agreed 10 submit yourself for thi posilion and some day. when you figure OUI how many hours ii really takes. and you wanl 10 talk aboul ii , give me a call . Good luck IO all of you and I hope you do well in 1hc future and so lve all these budget problems and all these ocher -iahty issues you have to deal • ' • • En&Jewood City Council November 17, 2003 Page8 (J with . I would like to thank Gary again for his service, because he is a terrific guy. Dan and the staff in Englewood, to my mind, have no peers . You have wonderful people to work with, as new members of the Council, and I think you will enjoy it. Thank you. There was applause . (f) Jane Coleman, 3901 South Galapago Street, said congratulations to our new Mayor and our City Council members . I am here tonight to update you on enrollment in our Englewood schools. Several months ago, I talked with you regarding Englewood becoming an adult community. Englewood has what they call an Open Door Policy, which means that anyone, from any district, can enroll in any of the Englewood Schools, even if they live in surrounding areas. This boosts our enrollment totals and thereby giving us additional funding from the government. Even with the Open Door Policy, Englewood continues to decline in enrollment. The enrollment total gives us a fairly accurate view of the number of children in the Englewood area, including the additions of the Open Door Policy attendees. As of November 2003, the enrollment is down approximately 100 students, including the Open Door Polky students ... reference : Englewood School News, Volume 26, No . 3, November '03 . In other words, for every two school age people moving into Englewood, four arc moving out. There is no need to restrict parks for children that arc not here. Soccer and baseball season is over; it's getting too cold for picnics ... the children arc inside watching TV, using their PlayStation ... doing other things. An empty park is a waste of taxpayer's money. People have dogs as companions and pets. They need a place to be able to exercise themselves, as well as their dogs, and what is nicer than a local dog park. The off-leash groups have shown that they arc responsible and willing to make any compromise to have their off-leash park back, and will do whatever is necessary to make it a safe place for children, adults, and dogs . I am asking you tonight to help us get back on track. Let us have a Task Force that can work with Council and City staff to provide a working situation that will be a win-win situation. Thank you. There was applause. 8 . Co-*atloas, Produmtions and A~ta There weic no communications, proclamations or appointments. 9. Publlc Hearing (a) COUNCIL MEMBER BRADSHAW MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDm, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING TO GATHER INPUT ON COUNClL BILL NO. 77, REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF AN ALL-WAY STOP AT WF.sT TUFJ'S AVENUE AND KNOX COURT. Ayes : Council Members Barrentine, Moore, Bradshaw, Wolosyn. Yurchick, Tomasso. Garrett Nays : None Motion carried and the Public Hearing opened. All witnesses were duly sworn . Director Ross said in September the Public Works Department received a survey that indicatcd,lhat 33 out o f 59 households in the area encompassing the 4500 and 4600 blocks of South Julian Street, South King Street and South Knox Court . as well as the West Tufts Avenue residents between Lowell and Irving. desire an all -way stop to be placed at the intersection of Knox Court and West Tufts Avenue . At the City Co uncil Study Session on October~. City Council indicated that they wished to consider the request of these residents. against the recommendations of the City staff and the Englewood Transportacion Advisory Co mmittee. The Municipal Code allows City Council to veto the City Traffic Enaineer, after holdlna a public hearing on the matter and then receiving testimony about the issue . City Council puaed an o rdinance on fir st reading to direct staff to install a n all -way stop at the inlerSection of West Tufts Avenue and Knox Court o n November 3,.. and also set a publ ic hcarin& for November 17. 2003 in order IO pdler public input a nd to determine whether the Tufts Avenue/Knox Court inlenCCtion should be an all-way stop contro lled intersection. In accordance with the C11y Council' desire, the nocice for the Public Hearin& was published in the Eng lewood Herald on No vember 7. 2003 and I will submit thi as proof to the City Clert. taff cannot recommend approva l of th, reqUC51 , he said , due to the fact that the all -way Slop ii not ' • • Englewood City Council November 17, 2003 Page9 0 warranted. When we were swearing in the four new Council people, I was kicking myself that I didn't get to Judge Atencio and have him ask the new City Council to uphold the manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, I figure I could have gotten four votes, but. . .I missed that opportunity. The manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices is incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations as part of the Highway Safety Act of 1966 and is the national standard for traffir control devices on all public roads . The need for uniform standards was recognized long ago. The idea behind uniformity is simply that the task of the road user needs to be simplified to aid them in recognizing and understanding and therefore, reducing the perception time and their reaction time. And, it is to assist the folks who have to enforce the laws, namely the police and the courts, giving everyone the same rules and therefore, the same interpretation for those rules . Uniformity also means, treating similar situations in a similar way . The general compliance of states and cities to this doctrine has created expectations by road users and as a result, sometimes, misuse of traffic control devices causes disrespect. not only at the locations where they arc improper, but also at the locations where the devices arc nccdcd and appropriate. If the posted speed limit is not appropriate for conditions, people tend to disobey them . Similarly this is the case for right-hand -tum -on-red prohibitions and left tum prohibitions and unfortunately, all -way stops. At the Tufts and Knox Court intersection, there arc 16 houses on the Knox Court cul-de-sac, north and south of the intersection. These 16 houses generate, on average, about 80 trips per day . That means, that the drivers on Tufts will only stop for someone on Knox Court very infrequently . N. this happens over and over, drivers will be more casual about obeying those stop signs. There just aren't sufficient numbers on Knox Court, to compel compliance, and therefore the drivers on Tufts Avenue will know that the reason the all-way slop is there, is not to help people identify who has the right-of-way, but the stop is intended to inconvenience drivers . Now, warrants aside, the other reasons behind staffs recommendation arc, the one stop sign will not change the driving patterns of this neighborhood . Once a stop sign is installed, it will never be removed even though the intended purpose was not satisfied. Stop signs increase noise, pollution and fuel consumption. It is estimated that it requires an averagc ... to slow down from 30 mph. come to a complete stop and then get back up to ,our traveling speed ... ofal>out 1/toa ofa gallon of extra gas, than what you would have used in just maintaining your cruising speed. This means that this intersection, with the 808 vehicles that we have on Tufts Avenue, an extra 80 gallons of fuel will be used each day al that all-way stop, after it is installed. The MUTCD has identified certain stop sign warrants . Most of those deal with safety concerns. An accident problem is indicated by five or more reported accidents, of the types susceptible to correction by a multi- way stop installation, in a twelve-month period, and then they identify traffic volumes . What happened in 2002 was that there was a millennium edition of the MUTCD, which added some additional optional criteria, which allowed traffic engineers some additional flexibility . What they did was they indicated some of these other criteria . One of those was the need to control left tum conflicts, the need to control pedestrian and vehicle conflicts near intersections where there is high pedestrian volumes . That is the one we used to install some additional stop signs around the schools, if you remember . Locations where the road user, after stopping, cannot sec conflicting traffic and then at intersections where you have two collector through streets of similar design and operating characteristics, where it would improve the traffic operation characteri stics. That was the warrants that I spoke of. The final reason that the staff cannot support this is we feel that it is a bad precedent . In 1978, up until about 1985, tbcrc was this show hosted by Richard Dawson called Family Feud where the answers were detcrruincd to be right or wrong based upon survey re s ult s, and so Richard Dawson would always say 'survey says' and the survey was the appropriate means of determining the losers and winners of this game show, but it is probably llOI a very appropriate way to make traffic engineering deci sions. None of the numbers on West Tufts Avenue arc very compelling with respect to public safety consideration s, at least in comparison to other local residential streets in the City. There have been no accidents reported tbcrc in the last three years, between Lowell and Irving on Tufts . Comparing the traffic numbers on similar types of residential local streets, the 808 ve hicle s per day o n Tufts ranks about the 44• highest on the list . The City wide average is about 1200 vehicles per day on a local residential street. Comparing the average speeds on Tufts, Tufts ranks about 48" on that list . The average speed on Tufts is 29 mph. The City wide average is approximately 28 mph. Compari ng the percentage of vehicles that exceed 35 mph on Tufts. ranks 32 .. and 36• hiahcst for west bound and east bound respectively . Tufts, cast bound, is 6.98 per cent and west bound Tufts is 5.67 per ce nt and the City-wide average is 6.41 per ccm. Then comparina the 85• percentiles. which means that 85 per cent of the cars arc traveling less than the ss• percentile speed. Tufts ranks nlllllber 33 west bound and number 30 cast bound . The 85• percentde specd i 33 .1 west bound and 33 .4 cut bound and the City ' • • -- En&lewoocl City Council November 17, 2003 Page 10 ~l u wide average is 30.6. We currently have 32 all -way stop intersections in the City and 18 of those arc around schools. The concern, quite frankly is, if we arc going to place an all-way stop at this location, based on these numbers. then what possible grounds do we have for saying no to the 30 or 40 other streets in the City that have equal or higher volumes or higher numbers. Thank you. At this time, l would like to turn it over to Dorothy Martinez who has worked many hours toward trying to get this stop sign ins1alled . Council Member Yurchick said l would like to ask a question. Your first reason, which l assume is your main rcason ... is it the four-way stop you oppose or is there a compromise where we could put the stop on Tufts, but not make it a four-way stop? As I look at the map on Knox, l see how short Knox Court is. Mr. Ross said often, when we arc faced with that kind of situation, one of the things that we do look at is switching the stop signs. And unfortunately when you have 700 vehicles on one street and 80 vehicles on the other street, it is so disproportionate, we don't feel comfortable doing that at this location . Mr. Yurchick said then you arc opposed either way? Mr. Ross replied, yes. Mayor Garren said there arc no stop signs on the street ls that right? Mr. Ross said yes there arc. Mayor Garren said l didn't see any stop signs at all. Arc there stop signs up on those two? Mr. Ross said yes, on stopping and controlling Knox Court. Mr. Garrett said there arc no Slop signs anywhere up there that l remember. Mr. Ross said oh, is that right? That is interesting. Mr. Garrett said we might be in favor of two. Mr. Ross said yes, we could do that. Council Member Yurchick said how can that be, that there arc no stop signs? Mayor Garren said there arc no stop signs. l went by the intersection. Mr. Ross said l didn't notice that. Dorothy Martinez, 3430 West Tufts Avenue, said l would like to thank the Englewood City Council for giving me this opportunity to speak tonight regarding the inSlallation of a four-way stop at the intersection of West Tufts Avenue and South Knox Cowt. To keep this short and brief, I would like to act IS the spokesperson for this issue. There arc numerous people present tonight who came to this meeting to i.how their support for this issue. There arc also individuals here who wish to speak independently, after l have given my presenlation. If Council desires, all individuals present in favor of this issue can stand, be sworn in , and give their names and addresses. To start , l would like to review the steps l have lakcn with the City regarding this matter . (I .) On September 8•.1 met with Ladd Vostry, Traffic Engineer for the City. to discuss this issue. (2 .) On October 9• the Englewood Transporlation Advisory Committee met to discuss this issue and decided to forward it to City Council. (3.) On October 2~ City Council moved to make this issue a resolution and to put it on the November 3"' City Council Meeting Agenda. (4.) On November 3"' the Public Works Department recommended this issue be decided at a Public Hearing to be held on November 11•. (5 .) On November 12• two signs regarding the Public Hearing were posted by the City at the intersection of West Tufts Avenue and South Knox Court. (6.) Today being November 11• 1 am in attendance at this Public Hearing before City Council to present my case. I have conlaeted and been working with those residents who live on the 3300 through 3500 blocks of West Tufts Avenue, the 4500 through 4600 blocks of South Julian Street, the 4500 through 4600 blocks of South Knox Cowt, and the 4500 through 4600 blocks of South King Street . For si mplification, I will refer to this area as "the neighborhood ." I canvassed the neighborhood twice to obtain re ident's input on this issue. l did an informal survey in September and obtained signatures on a form letter in November. I summarized the informati o n I collected from the survey, and letters, into a report . I made copies of the report for each of the Council members. if you would please distribute them. Each Council member received the report. Also. she said, there arc copies of the original letters, if you care to look at those. The report contains the statistical information I will be presenting tonight. On September 9•, 11•. 12• and 13•, I surveyed a tocal of 53 residents representing 36 households. There arc a total of 59 houses in the neighborhood and 36 households represent 61 % of the neighborhood. Of those residents conlaeted, 50 arc in favor of installina a fo ur -way stop and 3 re idents arc opposed . The pcrcencage results of the survey alone arc : 94.., of the residents are in favor and 6% are opposed. On November 8•, ~. and 15•, I distributed flyers rcprdina the upcoming Public Hearing and asked residents to ian a form letter stating their desire to have a four-way stop installed . I was able to oblain signatures on 57 letters represcnti 38 households. Again. there arc a total of 59 house in the neighborhood and 38 households represcming 64% of the neia)lborhood . l personally delivered the 57 letters to the Englewood Ci ty Clerk this momina. For the record. l would like • ' .. .. • • Englewood City Council November 17 , 003 Page 11 to read aloud the body of the letter signed by the residents of the neighborhood . The letter reads as follows : "November 17, 2003 ... Dear Englewood City Council Members, .. .! currently live at (this was left blank and they were to fill in their address) in the City of Englewood. I have lived at this address for_ (this was left blank and they were to fill in the number of years) years. I am eighteen years of age or older. I am absolutely in favor of the installation of a four-way stop sign at the intersection of West Tufts Avenue and South Knox Court . The installation of a four-way stop is warranted for the following reasons: West Tufts Avenue is one of two through streets between South Lowell Boulevard and South Federal Boulevard. The other through street is South Belleview Avenue. West Tufts Avenue is the only through street located in the City of Englewood. The street directly south of Tufts Avenue, which is West Pirnlico Avenue, is located in the City and County of Denver. Within the last year, the City of Sheridan installed mid-block stop signs on the two streets directly north of West Tufts Avenue. Those streets would be West Dill Road and West Mountain Road. This has discouraged motorists from using West Dill Road and West Mountain Road and has encouraged them to use West Tufts Avenue . Within the last year, Denver has installed a three-way stop sign at the intersection of the 3600 block of West Radcliff Avenue and South Lowell Boulevard. The installation of a four-way stop would improve the neighborhood and make it safer. A four-way stop sign is the most economic solution from both a financial standpoint and in consideration of City staff time. The speed limit on Lowell Boulevard is 25 miles per hour and the speed limit on West Tufts Avenue is 30 miles per hour, making it more desirable for motorists to use West Tufts Avenue and avoid using Lowell Boulevard. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Sincerely,_." Ms . Martinez said I had them sign it and print their name . Taking into consideration duplicate names and addresses on the survey and letters, I was able to contact a total of 80 residents representing 48 households . Since there are 59 households in the neighborhood, between the survey and letters, I was able to contact 81 % of the neighborhood. The results of my survey and letters show 77 residents arc in favor of the installation of a four-way stop and 3 residents arc opposed. The percentage results of the survey and letters combined shows that 96% are in favor and 4% are opposed. I have been an Englewood resident for 35 years and have lived at 3430 West Tufts Avenue for 13 years. Of those residents who signed the letter, 35 residents or 61 % have lived in the neighborhood for 10 or more years. Again, the reasons why a stop sign is needed are: West Tufts Avenue is one oftwo through sucets between South Lowell Boulevard and South Federal Boulevard. The other street is West Belleview. Tufts is the only through street in the City of Englewood. The street directly south, West Pimlico Avenue, is located in the City of Denver. Within the last year, Sheridan has installed mid-block stop signs and speed bumps on the two streets directly north of us and that has discouraged motorists from using those streets and encouraged them to use Wesi Tufts Avenue. Within the last year, Denver has installed a three-way stop sign at the intersection of the 3600 block of West Radcliff. This has discouraged motorists from using South Lowell and encouraged them to use West Tufts Avenue . The survey of the neighborhood and signed letters indicate a strongly perceived problem with traffic along West Tufts Avenue. The neighborhood feels a four -way stop would improve the neighborhood and make it safer. Several of the residents who live directly along West Tufts Avenue have children and are concerned with their safety. A four-way stop seems like the most economic solution . It will not cost the City a lot of money to install the foiir-way stop sig n, nor will it require a great deal of City staff time to implement it . The speed limit on Lowell Boulevard is 25 miles per hour and the speed limit on West Tufts Avenue is 30 miles per hour, making it more desirable for motorists to use West Tufts Avenue and avoid Lowell . During my September 8* mc'.lting with Ladd, we discussed several possible solutions other than a four-way stop. Specifically, we di sc ussed speed bumps, traffic circles , and automated speed limit signs. I am in full agreement with the City's stand o n speed bumps and would oppose their installation . I am also opposed to the installation of traffic ci rcle s. In talking with my neighbors, several have trailers that require a 5* wheel to tow them. The installation of a traffic circle would narrow the intersection and make the passage of a 5* wheel trailer very difficult o r downright impossible . The idea was to come up with a solution to alleviate traffic problems and at the same time minimize inconvenience to the neighborhood . I do not want to punish my neighbors by restricting or blocking intersections. It is clear the neighborhood perceives a problem with traffic along West Tufts Avenue and a soluuon is needed . A four-way stop may not be the most perfect solution to this problem. but it seems like the most efficient and expeditious solution possible . I have informed the residents wh o live at the four corners of the intersection of West Tufts Avenue and South Knoll Court. about the increase in traffic noise and emissions at thi s intersection . They arc aware of the downaide of the ins tallauo n of a four -way top and are wilhng to put up with these inconveniences. Also, my ncipbor, ' • • Eqlewood City Council November 17, 2003 Page 12 Keith Gilman, has taken pictures of east bound Tufts Avenue and west bound Tufts Avenue. She passed the pictures over 10 Council. Ms . Maninez said, as you can see when you look at that, there is a stop sign at Lowell and Tufts and there is a stop sign at Irving and Tufts, but all you see in those pictures is one long straight shot. No one parks their car on West Tufts. Two of my neighbor's cars have been hit by oncoming traffic on Tufts Avenue . So, no one parks their cars on Tufts anymore . You can see in those pictures, that it's a very wide street and it encourages people to drive faster and increases traffic problems. This concludes my presentation for this evening. I would like to thank the Council members for taking this maner into consideration and I am asking you to please approve the installation of a four-way slop at the intersection of West Tufts Avenue and South Knox Court. Keith Gilman said I live with my pretty bride Theresa Mayeda ar 4620 South Knox Coon in Englewood . I have been here for 17 years and we came out when they created U.S. West. You know, I love the word opportunity. We thank you for granting us the opportunity lo advocate for our kids and our pets this evening. We thank you for taking this opportunity to help a unique pan of the paradise that we all call Englewood. An informal census of kids in our area results in kind of a 20 to 25 ... which doesn't include my new grandson . That increases on weekends when their friends come to play and to visit. We are actually acutely aware of the fact that there is a public elementary school four blocks, as the crow flies, north of this intersection. The world has become a more dangerous place for its children. Here is an opportunity for us to make a small pan of that world, just a linle bit safer. Mayor Garrett, Mayor Pro Tern Wolosyn and Members of the Council, 1 am profoundly grateful that you have found what W1! have had to say to be worthy of your time and kind attention this evening and I thank you . John Funk. 3430 West Tufts Avenue, said I have lived in Englewood nearly my entire life. I actually grew up on Huron and Chenango over by Belleview Park and as you may, or may not know, Huron Street in that area is actually quite busy . Although. in the 13 years since I have lived over on Tufts Avenue, I found it to be much more problematic than Huron ever was . Huron seemed to have more of a consistent traffic flow than Tufts has . Tufts seems to have more of a spike in traffic mid thinp of that son. The traffic engineer had mentioned a little bit about average speeds and things of that son. I happen to be a student of advanced statistics and I happen to know that in this panicular case, I don't think the average is very reflective of the actual disuibution in this area . What I see on a regular basis is people cornina down the llreet very quickly . So. what I would encourage you to do is to help us solve our traffic problem and improve our neighborhood a little bit. One of the ways you can do that is by taking us up on our pnlpOleCI solution for the traffic control and not make us play 20 questions with the traffic engineer over what device is appropriate. Thank you . Mark Gallegos. 4630 South Knox Coun. said I have been a resident at that address for almost 12 years now . Tonight I came without a collared shirt, without a coat and tie . I just CIIIDC as a normal, comfortable American. Whal I want to say, briefly. is that I have no statistics like the traffic engineer had. but I live two doors away from thi s intersection . I have an eleven year old and an eight year old, with many cousins, many friends and they come over quite often 10 play , because -have a great cul-de-,;ac. It is a nice little neighborhood that we have . Most of the kids in the neighborhood come to my house, so we have a fun ho use . What I want to just stress 10 you guys is that we are looking for safety for the kids . A couple of us have purchased orange cones and when the kids are out playing, we will put them on Knox Court. on our cu l-de-sac tha1 goes to the south of Tufts. People are respectful when they come on Knox Court. I definitely agree with my neighbor John. about the sptkes In traffic . The traffic on Tufts is very ineplar, especially around rush hour limes. in the morninp and in the eveninp. There is a lol of traffic then. IIOl so much in the middle of the day . People do drive very f1151 on ii, especially the last few years. since they pu1 the speed bumps on the streets 10 the north of us and the stop i1ns on the streets to the 50Ulh of us. One 1h1ng 1ha1 I also want to mention . I have an excellent driv1n1 m:onl. but I allllOII had a fatal accidenl al the intersec110n bout f, ur years ago. When you drive north on Tufts. ii is a hght incline IO the WCI& and m the evening hour , when the s un i JU.I comma over the hill. 111s pretty difficult to see.

That was just a little close for me . It really gave me a wakeup call . We can't sec things like that in statistics, as far as how much traffic is there and is the stop sign really warranted . I think that if a stop sign was there , it would help everybody .. .it would help the drivers to just have a moment to make sure everything is safe before they proceed through the intersection. So, I hope that you will rule in our favor . Thanks for your time . Mayor Garrett asked if there was anyone else who would care to spcalc . There was no one.

(See Agenda 11cm I I -Regular Agenda.) 11 . Rqular Alfflda (a) Approval of Ordinances on First Reading (i) Director Fonda presented a recommendation from the Water and Sewer Board to adopt a bill for an ordinance approving the 2003 City Ditch/High Line Canal Agreement for delivery of raw water. He said this is for approval of a modification to the City Ditch/High Line agreement that -entered into with the Denver Water Board in 1995 . This is a result of the fact that Denver is IIO( diverting water to Harvard Gulch for use north of Harvard Gulch. This agreement requires Denver to pay $257 .000.00 for a re-circulation s ystem that will keep the water. in the area of Bates Logan Park, re-circulating. Even though we can get low flows through it now , this would allow for re-circulation and it will be installed by our City crews. The recommendation to City Council is to approve the agreement with Denver. Denver, after it passed our Water and Sewer Board. has already approved it . Mayor Garrett asked if there were any questions for Director Fonda. Counci l Member Yurchick said what is the ratio of the $257,000.00? It says based on a ratio . What is the estimate of what is it is going 10 cost Englewood? Diuctor Fonda said which paragraph are )'OU lookina at? Mr. Yurchick said rm looking at the Financial Impacts. Where it says Enalewood's share ofthcac costs were based on the ratio of the volume of water diverted for Englewood at the Hip Line divenion dam. Director Fonda satd that I separate from the ditch . Denver, if it diverts some of the waler that llled to ao north of Har vard Gulch, they may want 10 deliver 11 into Littleton, so they would pay on a pron1a basis. their cost of shanng the Cu y Ditc h 1f they diverted that water. Similarly. Denver allow us to wie die Hip .. ' • • Englewood City Council Novcrnbert7,2003 Pqct5 Linc Canal under fairly favorable conditions to deliver water from Waterton Canyon to Mclellan Reservoir and that's by gravity and it's a good deal, but we pay similarly, a proportionate share based on the length of the canal we use and the volume of water diverted compared to the total that Denver diverts down the High Linc Canal. Council Member Y urchick said what kind of number? What kind of number are we voting on for the cost to Englewood? Mr . Fonda said it varies every year depending on how much water we divert. In other words, some years we don't divert any and some years when the High Linc Canal is not priority, we may divert quite a bit. Council Member Yurchick said okay, give me a rangc ... from zero to what? Mr. Fonda said it could be $20,000.00 to $50,000.00, but we pay more than that pumping it out of the Mclellan Pump Station. So High Linc Canal is our first choice and then beyond that, we would have to pump it ... the water that we run down City Ditch. And then, this is usually water that we are leasing to Highlands Ranch. This is a fairly small fraction of the revenues that we derive from that. Council Member Wolosyn said do I understand correctly from previous discussion, that the $257,000.00 should cover our costs to install the re-circulation system. Mr. Fonda said yes it will and we will be using our crew and equipment to install it. but we have included our costs, as if we were a contractor and Denver has accepted that. So. we will only be out of pocket for the cost of the materials. Council Member Wolosyn said I think you guys did a great job. I just realized this. I think it was two years. because Mayor Bums was on the Water Board when this discussion started. Mr. Fonda said yes, it has taken a lot of negotiations. Director Fonda said Council Member Yurchick, did that answer all your questions? Council Member Yur.:hick said in a way. but in a way 00(. Now you have raised another question. You tell me this doesn't have anything to do with the City Ditch running through Englewood. Mr. Fonda said yes. it does. Mr. Yurchick said. so, in the long run it could cost us $50,000.00 a year to pump water through the City Ditch. Mr. Fonda said we can run water from Waterton Canyon down High Line Canal and put it into McLella Reservoir to store it. II is a very favorable price, because we would pay more if we took the water out of the South Platte River. ran it down City Ditch and pumped it up to McLellan Reservoir. The confusing part of this is that this agreement covers both our use of the High Line Canal and Denver's use of the City Ditch. And. Denver's use of the City Ditch used to be, that they would run water all the way through the City Ditch and use it for Washington Park and the Denver Country Club, but they stopped. When T-Rex came through , they took the pipe out under the highway. So now they don't use any of the water north of Harvard Gulch. They want to take that water out and convert it to municipal use, but they wanted to retain the ability to still use some of that water to maybe serve the Littleton cemetery or some of their customers that would be south of Harvard Gulch. So, we charge them based on the cost that we incur. For City Ditch. they would share the cost based on the volume of water they divert. compared to the total water diverted. if it is in City Ditch. In the High Line Canal, we do a similar prorata sharing of costs. where they take their total High Line Canal costs and we pay. based on the length of the ditch we use. compared to the total . So. if we use a fourth of the length, in getting to Mclellan Reservoir, we would pay a fourth. and if we use. maybe a hundredth of the water that is diverted, we would then pay a fourth of a hundredth of their total c t. So, we do it similarly in both cases. Council Member Yurc hick said. so. is it going to cost Englewood to run water from 350 East Cornell to 2750 South Clarkson? Mr. Fonda said it will cost Enalcwood to run the rc-circularion system. Is that what you mean? Mr. Yur hick said well. I don't know. You arc talking about pronted costs in here. we are talking about running the 1ty Ditch from Cornell to Clarkson. and I just want to Ir.now what it is going to cost Englewood to keep that water runmng through that ditch for arsthetic reasons. Mr. Fonda said 11 will coM us nothing to 1ns1all 11 . because Denver i paying for the entire installlltion. Mr . Yurchiclr. said naht. but after that 111s going to cost us something to lr.cep the water aoina. isn't it? Mr . Fonda said yes. 11 will It will be the J>Ol'Cr c t and maintenance on the pump talion. Mr. Yurcluck said okay. that was m) questio n. Mr Fonda said that I a fairly minor amount. but I don't lnow. maybe $5.000.00 a yar .. .rm t " • • Englewood City Council November 17, 2003 Page 16 0 just guessing. It is a very low head application, because you are not lifting the water, you are just re· circulating it. Council Member Moore said just to clarify som~thing regarding the diversion issues ... to get the water to this area. Director Fonda said that is separate from the re-circulation issue. They are both covered in one document. But, Mr. Moore said, I was following Mike's issue and it is a good one. Other than just running the pump, we are not incurring additional annual costs, just to keep the aesthetic value of the ditch going? Mr. Fonda said we are maintaining the Ditch, but it would be very expensive to abandon it. And also, the Ditch serves as a storm water conveyance, which we cannot really get rid of, without great expense.

ACTING BY AND THROUGH ITS BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS. (DENVER) AND THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, (ENGLEWOOD) FOR THE DELIVERY OF RAW WATER. Mayor Garrett asked if there was any discussion. There was none. Vote results: Ayes : Nays: Motion carried. Council Members Barrentine. Moore, Bradshaw. Wolosyn, Yurchick, Tomasso, Garrett None (b) Approval of Ordinances on Second Reading There were no additional items submitted for approval on second reading. (See Agenda Item IO · Consent Agenda.) (c) Resolutions and Motions (i) Director Long presented a recommendation from the Library to adopt a resolution authorizing the 2003 Winter Food for Fines program from Monday, December I through Sunday, December 14 , 2003 . He said in 1990 the Library began a new program, which we call Food for Fines. The rationale behind the program is really twofold . One was to encourage people to get their books back on time and , for people who had overdues, we also wanted to have a way, particularly with kid s who co uldn 't afford a lot of mo ney, that they could get the books back without a charge, but in doing so they would provide a service to the community. How we set the program up was, anyone with an overdue could bring in one non·perishable food item and swap that overdue fine ... have it cancelled in effect. Then the non ·perishable food items were then donated to Interfaith Task Force food bank . In the 13 years this program has been in existence, we have raised an estimated $16,900.00 in non·perishable food items for the Interfaith food bank. This has been a very popular program . Earlier this year when we raised our fine structure for overdue materials, it was the wishes of the Library Board, subsequently supported by City Council, that not only would we have one Food for Fines program, but we would have it twice a year, two weeks each. So this year, we had our first summer Food for Fines and now it is time for the winter Food for Fines program. As I said, this has been a very positive program on behalf of our patrons. It certainly ha s been appreciated by Interfaith Task Force and we think it is worthy of continuing and we ask your support 10 approve o ur request for resolution . Mr. Long asked if there were any questions . There were no ne .

RESOLUTION NO . 84, SERIES OF 2003 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ENGLEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY TO IMPLEMENT THE ANNUAL "FOOD FOR FINES" PROGRAM FROM MONDAY, DECEMBER I, 2003, THROUGH SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2003 . Vote results: Motion carried. Ayes: Council Memben Barrentine, Moore, Bradshaw, Wolosyn, Y urchick, Tomasso, Garrett Nays: None Director Long said thank you very much . (ii) Director Fonda presellled a recommendation from lhe Water and Sewer Board to approve, by motion, the purchase of pumping units, valve vaults and electrical connections to lhe two wells that we recently drilled. One was drilled at McLellan Reservoir and lhe second well wu drilled at lhe Golf Course . These are deep wells that provide a very stable source of water . Two bids were received for lhe units and we are recommending lhe low bid in lhe amountof$130,177.00to Am West, Inc. I would point out that lhese wells make our water a lot farmer and we are therefore able to lease a much higher priced water dwing moderate years, to Highlands Ranch, because during dry years we are able to me wells to provide that water, so in conjunction with SOD! of our surface rights. that are a little bit junior, we are able to make !hem senior and generate more revenues that way . It also provides more stability to tbe City having lhese wells there, in case of a drought. Mayor Garren asked if there were any questions. Mayor Garren said I have one quick question . It talks about the budget of $500,000.00. Doea that include the drilling costs? Director Fonda said yes, that was lhe largest part ... lhe drilling.

En&lewood City Council November 17, 2003 Pqe18 (ii) Council Member Wolosyn said I also want to welcome the new Council Members and offer congratulations 10 Mayor Doug Garrett . I would also like to thank the Council for the votes and the confidence you have given me, by electing me as Mayor Pro Tcm. I would also like to thank former Mayor Bev Bradshaw for the stellar job she has done. For at least the last six months, if not the last year, we have had a real hard ride and she took a lot of the bumps for us and I appreciate that. Ms. Bradshaw said thank you. Ms. Wolosyn said I look forward to getting down to more hard work . (iii) Council Member Barrentine said you arc right, it is difficult to make a decision to run and I am very fortunate that I had a lot of people and a lot of the community support and I hope that I can cam their trust and I intend to work hard for what they put me up here for . Thank you. (iv) Council Member Moore said I would like to welcome Laurel! and Ray as well. You will have fun. I would like to personally thank Bev for the last two years of leadership you provided. As Olga mentioned, you took a lot of blows for us . Certainly the last six months on Council, for me, was a lot harder than the first eighteen months . And Doug, I would like to wish you well, as Mayor, for the next two years. Thank you. (v) Council Member Bradshaw said I would like to welcome Ray and Laurel!. I think we have another dynamic group. We need to all sort out what we need to do and what we do best and I think that takes time. I also want to thank staff for the help, particularly Stewart who can confuse people on the simplest questions more than any man I know, and the rest of the staff. It was a tough ride, but it was fun and I really do need to take time for me. I've lost my creative muse and I think that is really important. I look forward to serving the citizens of Englewood two more years as Council Member At- Largc, but I hope this sets a precedent that we can be Mayor for two years, and move on ... until the citizens want to have a full time Mayor, or want to have a Mayor elected At-Large. I think this is really good. because this helps build leaders for the future and that is part of our job of being up here too. Thank you . ••••• Mayor Garrett said the last two years, because of the budget issues we have had, were quite a challenge. We spent more time talking about budget than we ever wanted to . Council Member Bradshaw said until the dog parks . 13 . City Manager's Report (a) City Manager Scars said the only thing that I would like to say that I didn't get a chance to say earlier tonight, because I think Dan did a very capable job on procedures, is that I think one of the strengths of our Council/Manager form of government, is in the City Council request tracking process. We do actually have a procedure that Leigh Ann has put together that provides for quick reviews of the information in written form or verbal form . I just wanted to hand this out again to Council as a reminder that 1f there arc issues that come up, we arc required. within a three day period, to respond back. I do want to thank Council for working through that. I just encourage Council to continue to follow that procedure. as we move ahead . Thank you. C uncil Member Yurch1ck said I would like 10 ask one more question now that you handed this out. We requested some numbers in Executive Session. City Manager Scars said yes. Mr. Yurchick said when is that information going to be out? City Manager Scars said that is being worked on riaht now. Actually Rick Kahm 1s doing some work on that and we will give the Council a full rcpon .

Engl ewood City Council Nowmber 3, 2003 Page 2 (b) Amy Meyer. 300 East Yale Avenue. sai d I a m here . to once again address the Co uncil regard ing the Bat es Logan Park issue . I live a couple of bl ocks from the park and ha ve be~n going there . wi th m y faithful and loyal companion o f eleven years, for exercise and socializatio n. I have made many friends wi th my neighbors and have felt a strong sense of community. which is not there any mo re , sadly . So, I am in favor of ha vin g an appropriate off-leash area. somewhere in the Bates Logan vicinit y. Bui. the main rea,on I am here tonight is 10 express my di sa ppointment in the decision makin g process of the City Coun 11. I ha ve anended many o f these meetings , and I have not seen any consistency, nor do I sec the Counci l member representing their constituents. The word, consutucnt is kind of weird. it sounds like the c itizens of Englewood are o f lower s tature than the Council members. but. that is not true . You know. yo u "ork for me . And guess what, this is your performance review. And. I don't think you arc goi ng to get a raise this year . Well . ma ybe. Council Member Garrell and Grazulis. But. seriously ... back in September. I pro.ictivcly presenred a petition to thi s Council with alm ost 100 signatures.just to present a positive front and s howing o ur appreciation for the Bates Logan off-leash pri vi le ges. I a lso asked, at that time, that hould there be any risk of those privileges being revoked, that we be given an opponunity to present altcrnauvc or perhaps more signatures. That opponunity never presented itself and here I am without my park . I ha ve also been told ... a n e -mail was forwarded to me . s upposedly from the Mayor, around the same 11mc pemld. SU)ing that Bates Logan was not on the chopping block, that that was simply not true . Funhermorc. regarding this I uc, I ha ve left several messages and e-mails 10 the Council member re presenting m dis trict and have never goncn any response . I also attended a Parks and Recreation mee 11 n11 o n eptembcr 11 •. which was an e ntire meeting of Englewood residents vo ici ng their o pini on .ibout the o ff-lea h I uc at Bate Logan. In closing, the audience was told that this would be di sc ussed in a l.i tcr meeting o r the Parks and Recreation Committee. perhaps in October or November, and they would de termine 1f any ac 11on was needed . But. I have never heard anything since then . But, again, apparently a.:11o n wa; taken. Also at that time , we presented alternatives for fencing, fund raising. licensing and other o puo n Shonly there:after. :at another Council meeting that I was not present for, an impromptu vote was taJ..en by you to revoke the off-leash privileges at Bates Logan . The meeting minutes state that the motion was 10 make Bates Logan a n on-leash park and for Parks and Recreation to look at Emerson as an option . I do n't know if thi I being done . At the October 2rf" Council meeting, a proponent of off-leash privileges made a prescntauon und hud. at the urging o f this Council. gathered signatures, over 90 signature s, from people wnhin three blocks of Bates Logan Park . Only seven of those people opposed any sort of off-leash puo ns . So. my point 1s. I don't feel hke some members of the Council arc representing the majority. And they arc not exh1b1t ing communit y leadership. from my perspective. Unless you communicate with me , my pc rs pec tl\ e 1s all that I have . From my perspective, the squeaky wheel gets the grease . The anti-off-leas h group h.i s been presenung their case to you for quite some time and they finally got their way. So, if that is ho w dc,ISl o n arc mad.: by th, Counci l. Council members having to li sten to complaints and threats , than I gues~. here 1s m) first threat . I will quit my volunteer job delivering food to sick people and come to Coun.:1 1 meeting e,ery ther Mo nday night and state my piece. I would rather no t do that though, so I urge )OU to ple.15C re.id )Our past mceung minutes. listen to your voice mails, communicate with your ,1t1zcn \\00 )OU w rJ.. for Change my perception.

Instead , she reprimanded me for being in an off-leash park. Thirdly, there seems to be a sense of entitlement on the part of the dog owners, witho ut any true accountability in the event someone is injured from a dog-related incideut, s uc h as mandatory registration, training and liability insurance. How could you prove their animal bit you? Also, how many off-leash dogs arc covered by liability insurance? Most home policies do not cover dogs, due to the increased number of dog bites and aggrcssi ve attacks. It is unfair to expect people to contend with loose dogs . in a neighborhood park, who could pose a threat to them or their children. I implore you to consider the safety of your c itizenry and keep Bates Logan an on-leash community park. Thank you, she said. There was applause. Mayor Bradshaw said for those of you who are out in the audience, we have already made that decision thi s evening. It was in Study Session. It is to uphold the vote of October 201h . It will remain on-leash at Bates Logan Park. There was applause . Council Member Grazulis said I have been, of course, in favor of all of the off-leash parks , except I do have an issue with this particular one, because there is so much concern pro and con. When you start to deal with a park, that had so much pro and con, you have to consider the issue of the safety of the people. It is not working at that particular park. I would like to find something in the vicinity of Bates Logan that would work. That, of course, is up to Parks and Recreation. Ms. Grazulis said I would just like to consider another area in the no rth area there, so that the people in that vicinity don't lose an off-leash area. (b) Lo uise Marshall. 3021 South Logan Street, said, I am very upset by your decision, because I was sent a letter by your Council stating that if I had an opinion on this issue, to please present it to the City Council at this meeting. So, I am here. Mayor Bradshaw said you were sent a letter from us '/ She answered, yes, I was . Would you like for me to send it to you? Anyway, I would like to read you my letter that I typed for you tonight. She read from her letter . I am asking you to consider a few points prior to making any decision in the resolution of the Bates Logan Park off-leash dog problem. Unfortunately, this issue has caused bitterness and frustration within the neighborhood and has negatively affected the community surrounding the park. There arc h~rd feelings on both sides. The daily off-leash dog owners in Englewood are a large community . If the problem is not resolved at Bates Logan, the problem will only move to another location. I have been going to Jason Park and the off-leash users have increased from I person the week you closed Bi tes to 15 people (15-20 dogs) tonight 11/3/03 at 5 :30 p.m. We are not going to go away . 2. Compromise, compromise, compromise . You have alienated 75% of the daily users o f Bates Logan Park . I have kept a daily log of the number of park users during the normal times that I would take m y dog off-leash there. Herc arc the results : Friday 10/24/03 4:15 p .m. zero people at the park ; Monday 10/27/03 4 : 10 p.m . zero people at the park; Tuesday 10/28/03 6:30 p .m . zero people at the park; Wednesday 10/29/03 4 :30 p.m . 3 supervised c hildren in the playground and 2 unsupervised children o n the playing field ; Thursday 10/30/03 4:30 p.m. zero people at the park; Friday 10/31/03 4 :30 p .m. zero people at the park; Saturday 11/01/03 4:00 p.m. zero people at the park; Sunday 11/02/03 2:30 p .m. zero peo ple al the park; Monday 11/03/03 5 :00 p .m. zero people in the park. It upsers me that on 8 out of 9 day the park was not being used at all and the daily off-leash dog users were excluded from using it. even though no one else was there . This seems a bit like discrimination to me . Where arc all the family park users . It appear to me that the s upporters of the fa mily park concept, want the park e mpty, except for when they choo,c to use it, instead o f co mpromis ing for all users . I understand that there arc times when the park 1s o,cr utilized and that there are co nfli ct and safety issues at hand . Soccer mornings. summers and nice days arc difficult times and there is goi ng 10 be contlict if everyone wants to use the park. I have a few ,ug,est10~ for compromi se so that all of the nei ghborhood community can use thi s park. Restncted .and ~ted oft- leash dog hours.

I could not let him anywhere on the grass , not just because of the dog feces all over everything but. because of the chance that a dog would be in the park. which he might run toward. anracting the dog toward him . It is a big safety issue . It's not just for the kids ... it's for other dogs. I have talked to my vet and he said he was not for it, because of the injuries fr o m dogfights he ha s had to lreat. I have seen the dogfights and I have seen the size of the dogs , and the numbers of the dogs and I really question ... if the landlords have the right to restrict the number of dogs in Englewood, maybe they shou ld restrict the size o r something. o r maybe people's judgment is a little bit skewed. Englewood doesn 'I ha, e very big yards for the mo st part. Our dog has a big yard. and he is a big dog. He has never been in !he park . If people want to run 10 the park and exercise. that is great. Run with your dog and have it tightly lea shed and under control . bu! make sure it is . Dogs are attracted to children, they are attracted IO little vehicles ... like strollers, the dog is right at mouth height for the poor child. A lot of people, I think , are unaware of this. I have see n people with strollers and with their dogs . It is not really a smart trick. Another problem I have noticed , with the park being a no leash park, is the !lies. We had !lies this year in my ya rd . even at night, it was very odd and I think that was the reason . I can't think of any other reaso n. We didn 't have many mosq uitoes ... it was odd . Strays head for the park too. It is a familiar place and it probably smell s very welcoming 10 them, but there are dogs there and there is no one in charge of them . I think that is a fact that maybe a lot of people don 't know. As far as denying use of our parks to the Denver visi lors, we certainly aren 't. We do use Denver parks , but our dogs don't run free in them . There was a poini. I think, where they did at Washington Park. They changed it . I would like to thank the Council for being so approachable on the subject and even though the decision has been made, I hope it is something 1ha1 will stay that way . I know there are always ways of compromising and doing things differently . There are 1wo lovely grassy places. if the dogs need that, near Bates Logan Park, one on Amherst and Washington and one over on Emerso n. Maybe those people would enjoy having the dogs there. I don't know, but I do n 't think the children need 10 give up their parks in Englewood, for dogs. There was applause . (d) Jay Schneiders, 2980 Soulh Emerson Street, said I don't have a great deal prepared and wi ll 1ry not 10 prattle o n . I understand I come from a simpler time, kind of an older guy. and it is always surprising to me to hear the c hildren versus dogs dichotomy . I know I grew up in a different time , but dogs. for heaven s sake. they weren 't even o n leashes when I grew up, and the y kind of went from house to ho use and people fed !hem . And, okay. Old Yeller was a while ago , but !his whole notion that children a nd dogs are so me how anlithetical. is just a little unusual to me . Public safety is important to me , I am a docto r over at Swedish. It is of c ru c ial note ... I don't like 1he idea of c hildren having dog poop o n their soccer fiel ds and I think that needs 10 be rigorous ly contro lled , not just by well meaning people. And there arc ways 10 do 1hi s. I th ink it is easy to do . Bui public safety is a complex issue . It wo uld be sa fer 10 have a ;1o p light at every corner in Englewood or a sto p sign. I don 't think that is an arguable position . But we do n ·1 do ii . a nd we don ·1 do it because there is a tradeoff between absolute public safety, o f sorts, and the p ublic good. in 1erms o f re spo nsibilit y that we take in monitoring ou r c hildren , whatever it mi ght be. Yo u hav.: made yo ur vo te . Yo u ha ve dec ided and that is your prerogative . Like Amy Meyer. I ha ve quesuo ns Jnd I Jm di sheartened by how the process ha s go ne . It makes me sad to sec that. I hoped for more from yo u as a gro up . But . it see ms 10 me that 1his is a larger community issue . When the dog police in Denver Jre ,end ing people 10 Bates Loga n, so the y don 't have to deal with dog parks over there . that create s a hu •e proble m. W e do n'! wa nt 50 dogs in o ne place. None o f us who lives here and wa lks the park wants that We would like to have a small gro up . So, I am goi ng to ask that yo u. as a gro up , take some vision here This ha, bee n ,o fi ll ed wi th rancor . and biuerness and sco lding and mean spiritedness.

And. I think if you folks were 10 put some pressure on Denver, that might be helpful, and I would like to see that. Thank you ve ry much. There was applause. (e) Jill Wilson, 3061 South Grant Street, said I would like to bring up two main issues, solutions for the park and expectations of the City Council. I want you to know ... this is a program that works. The American Kennel Club has a web page telling people how to create off-leash parks . They support the concept. We have addressed all the issues and recommended the following compromises to make this a successful venture that can be enjoyed by every member of the community. Park sites : Bates Logan, Emerson, Clarkson. Parks, outside of these, would not be in the Bates Logan neighborhood. Fenced in areas could help contain the dogs . It would allow a specific place where the community could meet. Scheduled times would also work, in the morning from 6 to 9 and in the evening from 5 to 8 . In addition to these compromises, I would like to address some issues that have been raised over the last year regarding concerns about the dog park. such as health , safety, budget, educating dog owners and City liability . Health ... right now there are waste pickup bags s upplied by the community, covered trash cans, scheduling a monthly park cleanup day for the park users . Safety: Code enforcement patrol, who are already doing an excellent job. Community monitoring: which is already done across the country at dog parks. When the parks have people in them, it is a good, inexpensive way to deter crime. Budget: charging fees for residents and non-residents similar to what Parks and Recreation does now. The park users could organize fundraiser s and donations . Another vital sign that must be handled , is the education of dog o wners . This can easily be addressed by pass ing out flyers throughout the community with pet owner information, having dog trainers come to the park and give mini training sessions . City liability: post a s ign with the rules : owners are legally responsible for their dogs and any injuries caused by them, puppies and dogs must be properly licensed, inoculated and healthy animals should wear a collar and ID tags at all times, owners must clean up after their dogs, dogs showing aggression towards people or other animals will be removed from the park, animals who exhibit a history of aggressive behavior will not be permitted. puppies using the park must be at least four months old, owners should not leave their dogs unattended or allowed out of sight if young children arc permitted in the dog park-they too should be under constant supervision, dogs in heat will not be allowed inside the park, owners must carry a leash at all times, dogs should be leashed before entering and prior to leaving the park. violators will be subject to removal from the park and suspension of park privileges. My expectations for this City Council arc: they represent everyo ne . Dog parks are a great place for owners to meet other people with common interests. The love people share for their dogs reaches beyond economic and social barriers and helps to foster a sense of community. Dog owners deserve a part of the park pie, with other special use groups ... like baseball, soccer and bas ketball . On the Englewood city web page, there is an organizational chart ... at the top are the ci tizens o f Englewood. City Counc il hold elected positions and they arc to serve all of the citizens. Thank yo u. There was applause. (f) Mary Bassett . 3026 South Sherman Street, said I live two bl ocks from the dog park. had written a s peec h to give to yo u and I will probably refer back to it. However, I am very concerned about what the exercise of las t Monday was . I was looking to see if thi s was a way to bring our communi ty back together agai n regardi ng this issue, to look for compromi se. to look ... in your own words ... for a win/wi n situation . From the sou nds of it...from the Study Session ... it appears that this did not happen. There was a presentation by the person who mo nitored ... who did an excellent job monitoring last Monday's meeting ... and yet. all of that seemed to ha ve been thrown o ut the window . And, nothin g was learne d fro m that . I have a big concern about that . because I was seeing that as something that could bring this co mmun ity back together agai n. As yo u arc seeing tonight. as you have seen with the presentations so far . there is a si de here looki ng for compromise . We arc seei ng an empty park, that doesn 't have c hildren in it in the mornings. that is n't bei ng used in that son of way . I sec the opportunny being lost, to use that park to bring a community ... to bring a neighborhood together. I sec a bean of a community. in the Bates Logan neighborhood, being tom out. Now referring back to some of the s peec h I wrote, I am also concerned abo ut u coupl e of issues . O ne ... I am concerned that o ur Code Enforc-ement and policemen are u,ang their ume go ing over to Rate; Logan to have to e nforce a rule of off-leash and o n-leash. when there • • Englewood City Council Nove mbe r 3, 2003 Page 6 are no children th ere, when there isn 't a questi o n of safety, when their time would be more wisely spe nt. policing o ur nei gh borhoods and making o ur neighborhoods safe. l am also concerned about a couple wo rd s that have been used in !hi s di sc uss io n. The first word is family . For some reason , family has been turne d into so mebod y who doe s no t believe in off-leash or allowing dogs to socia lize. I will disagree with that and I ha ve many people who support me o n that , who also di sagree with that. For me , my family is my dogs ... my family is my neighborhood . This allowed me to use Bates Logan and meet and say hello to my family . The word dog ha s somehow turned into some kind of wolf-like creature whose main issue, whose main purpose in life, is to defecate o n people's lawns and to go up and bite children. Thi s is not the case. Children are somehow always afraid of dogs, that the main reason they are not using !he park. is because the y are afraid of d ogs. l tend to disagree . l have met many families who actually take their children to Bates Logan for the express purpose of being able to be near dogs . Bates Logan is the largest park in our area. It is an empty park, as you have heard in an earlier discussion . It 's not that there is a ton of children there right now. If you were to go there right now, it would be empty. If you were to go there at 7 o'clock tomo rrow morning, that park would probably be empty. l can 't say, I don 't know ... but it has been in the past and I am s ure it will be in the future. An empty park. an unused park is a waste of taxpayer 's money. This park was a way to bring the community together and that has been taken away. Finally, l urge the Council to realize that this issue has not been resolved. That there arc plenty of people here who are looking for a compromise, who arc still looking for that win/win situation that can utilize Bates Logan in ways that the whole ttcighborhood can benefit from it. Thank you . There was applause. (g) Kelly Flynn, 2901 South Clarkson Street, said I live on the corner of Clarkson and Bates. I did have a spee'ch, but si nce the decision has already been made , I will just be very brief, as l certainly don't need to beat a dead horse . Thank you for your decision on this iss ue. Ho nestly , I am opposed to having an off-leash dog park for several reasons , which you have heard endlessly, so I won't repeat them . However, this has divided our community a little bit and that saddens me, because these arc my neighbors, these are people that I li ve with . Whether you arc a dog person or a people person or a little bit of both, it is just a little sad to sec this . That's my point, that's all I wanted to say on that. But, I really do look forward to the future where there will be a place for people, which would be the Bates Logan Park, which is a people park and a place for dogs and people with dogs, and people who have families of dogs and neighbors. to go to and be a part of the community as well. So, I appreciate you finally coming to some point and ma ybe we are at some sort of point where this will not even be an issue, and everybody can start co ming back together. Thank you very much for your time and have a great night. There was applause . (h) Colleen Bowen, 661 East Bates Avenue, said I would like to ask my neighbor to please co me forward and hold my map for me . This is a map of the homes most immediately adjacent to Bates Logan Park . What thi s map represents is 104 visited residences in the last 72 ho urs . There arc 247 people represenied , 64 dogs represe nted . 91 % of the people represented would like Bates Logan Park to remain an on-leash park . 94% of the dogs represented wo uld like Bates Logan Park to remain an o n-leash park. The green represents homes in the neighborhood that want Bates Logan o n-leash. The gray represents no o pini o n. Yellow represents residenis who want Bates Logan off-leash. And, the numbers represent, in the top corner, the number of perso ns living in the home and the bottom comer is the number of dogs living in the ho me . A couple of things ... I spoke on the phone this morning with the number one person in charge ut the Health-One Swedish Medical Ce111er Chi ld Development Center. That is two blocks south of Bates Loga n Park and about three blocks north of Swedish . This day care facility services many of the doctors and nurses and other workers at Swedish Medical Center. Their oldest students at the center are the four and fi ve yea r o lds know n as the Tigers and their teacher. who has been th eir teacher for 7 years in that class roo m. used to reg ularl y walk her children to 1he park to e njoy the park and has stopped doing so. because of off-l eas h. She is very glad to be able to do so and is hopeful 1hat she will co ntinuli to be able to do so with the o n-leash status of Bates Logan . And the last thing l would like to share is that l have 13 signatures fr o m the residents most adjacent to Emerson Park asking the Council and the Mayor. not to make Emen.o n Park a con,1deration for o ff-leash because of its very small size . I don't know what the acreage is. but 1f ~ou will no uce. there arc o nl y~ home site s on Emerson Park . There arc just 2 home 1tes to the north and there are approx imatel y. -I ho me s ues o n the we t. h 1s a very s mall park . This neighborhood would have • • Englewood City Council November 3, 2003 Page 7 an overwhelmingly negative impact were it to become an off-leash dog park. I don't think we s hould take the difficulties we have had at Bates Logan and s hift them over to Emerso n. The last comment is that I do believe there is a viable solution for both sides that would meet the needs of every single constituent on both s ides of this iss ue, and it is a tiny, skinny little piece of fabric called a leash. I do believe that every si ngle thing can be enjoyed and benefited from with the use of a leash . The fellowship you guys are so enjoying among one another, can be enjoyed when you meet and walk your dogs together in the park on leashes. The safety o f the children, and the elderly I met over the course of the last three days, who arc afraid now to walk in the park, and arc glad , I'm sure, to be able to walk again. That will be protected with the le ash . So, please consider the leash your friend. Thank you. There was applause. (i) Chuck Nour, 3904 South Pearl Street, said I am not here tonight as a citizen. I am here tonight as the Englewood Soccer Board. We have tried to be as neutral as possible with this . I have talked to both sides and I think I ha vc tried to be as neutral as possible with both sides. The problems that we have seen at Bates Lo gan, and I am speaking of the soccer field, nothing else, is the dog feces, the urine . the dogs running on the field in the middle of the soccer game, chasing after soccer balls, chasing after kids . interrupting soccer practices. and picki ng up the cones ... has now shifted from Bates Logan to Jason Parle It concerns us, that is why we stepped in. We tried to be as even keel as possible on this, but the children 's safety is our first desire. I am a parent, I'm a coach, and I'm a dog owner. I am all o f the above, but when you know your dog has defecated on a soccer field , you clean it up to the best of your ability. You cannot clean it up 100%. At 11 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon, we have a soccer game. At 12 o'cl ock your dog shows up and at I o'clock we have a soccer game. There is no way that that field is clean . We have kids s liding, we have kids falling, we have kids getting scrapes and that leads to infection. As the Soccer Board, we feel safety has to become the number one priority. Dog owner. non-dog owner, parent, non -parent, whatever, the children's safety has to become number one. Tonight you guys made a decision. 1 am not going to say it is a good decision or a bad decision. Again, we arc trying to stay as neutral as possible . The only reason we are here is to make the point that our children's safety has to become number one. Any time there is a soccer field or a baseball field, that is not a place for a dog to be able to urinate. defecate or whatever. That is all I have to say. As a refcrcc, I have had to go clean up dog feces in the middle of a game. I have had to stop a game, because I haven't seen it. All the things that were happening and all the complaints that were happening at Bates Logan, have now shifted to Jason Park. Three weeks ago we had a soccer practice, on an average, in the hour practice that we were !here, there were 6 to 12 groups o f peo ple with their dogs in the middle of a soccer field . Jason Park is one of the largest parks that the Soccer Association uses. It is also the largest field. If you can't fand a space in Jason Park. besides the soccer field, it is not because you arc not trying. ii is because you don't w11111 to. We fell it was kind of directed toward us . because we arc complaining about the fields . Like I said, I would have no problem if any park was an off-leash park , as long as you could encompass my soccer field for the safety o f the luds . Same thing with baseball . I'm also a baseball coach. I have 6-year old T -ball kids that go sliding. because the y think it is fun at Ja o n Park . They are sliding. We have had kids that have literally sat in u. Now. you ha ve to tell a 6-year o ld that we have to go clean you off right now and c hange your clotl,es m the middle o f a soccer game. So , like I said, I a m not here to be fo r or agai nst, I am just here to bring up the safety o f the kid s . Thank you very much for your time. There wa s applause.

South King Street and Knox Coun. and as well as along Wes t Tufts Avenue between Lowell and Irving, desire an all-way stop to be placed at the intersection of Knox Coun and West Tufts Avenue. At the City Council Study Session on October 2011,. the City Council ind ic ated that they wished to accede 10 the desires of the residents, against the recommendations of City staff and the Englewood Transportation Advisory Committee. The Municipal Code allows the City Council to veto the City Traffic Engineer, after holding a public hearing on the mailer and then rece iving testimony about the issue. So, staff, therefore, recommends that City Council set a public hearing on Monday, November 17• in order to gather public input, in order to determine whether Tufts Avenue and Knox Coun should be an all-way stop controlled intersection.

I am here tonight representing a passionate group of Englewood residents. We are very tired of the tension and bitterness in the north area of Englewood that the reaction to man's best friend, the dog, bas created. We are asking you tonight to 'wipe the slate clean. start over and as council member Grazulis stated on Oct. 6• to "predicate compromise". We are asking you to discuss and formally support tonight a talk fon:e between Englewood citizens and the Parks and Rec. Dept. open space manager to study the viability of fencing some areas of Englewood parks for the safety of all park users. We are not asking for the formation of specific"dog parks", but rather to explore and study the feasibility of implementing safe areas at already established city parks where dog owners can exercise their "best friend" and still respect the safety and rights of other park users. With your blessing we would like to work in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation Department to formulate a well-organized and planned proposal to present to you at a later date. This would take into account studying available space, establishing criteria, ensuring safety, exploring funding and private donations, etc. We promise to incorporate all community input to formulate a successful and fair proposal. Thank you for positively supporting the formation of this task force. We think that if we can all work together that we will have harmony in the community and a successful resolution to this community issue. Thank you once again for your prompt response to this request. ~ . ·• • • • ,--.-- t l '1 __ __) Congratulations to our new Mayor, and City Council members: I am here tonight to update you on enrollment in our Englewood schools. Several months ago I talked witb you regarding tbat !:=;!:wood bas become an Adult Community. En1lewood bas what they call "Open Door Policy", which means that anyone from any district can enroll in any of the En1lewood Schools, even if they live in surrounding areas. This boosts our earoUment totals and thereby giving us additioaal fundi•1 from the goveraaeat. Even with the "Open Door Policy", Englewood continues to decline in enrollment. The Enrollment total gives 111 a fairly accurate view of the numbers of children in tbe Enclewood area, ineladin& the additions of the "Open Door Policy" attendees. As of November 2003, the enrollment is down approximately 109 students, including tbe "Open Door Policy" students. (Reference: Englewood Scllool News, Vol. 26, No. 3, Nov. '03) In otber words, for every two scbool qe people movi&1 into Englewood, four are aovin1 oat! nere is no need to restrict parks for children tbat are not there. Soccer Hd bueball seuoa is over; it's getting too cold for picnics -an eapty park is a wute of taxpayer's money! People have dogs u companions and pets. ney need a place to be able to exercise theaselves as well u their dop, aad what is aicer tbH a local dog park. The Off Leash Groa.-have shown that they are responsible and willing to make any compromise to llave tbeir off leash park back, and will do wlaatever is a~ry to make it a safe place for children, adults, and dogs. I am asking you tonight to help us get back oa track; let ua ltave a Tuk Force that can work with Co11acll aad tbe City staff to provide a workina situation that will be a WIN-WIN aitutloll.

WHEREAS, a petition signed by a majority of the residents in the area of Knox Court and Tufts has been forwarded to the City requesting a four-way stop at this intersection; and WHEREAS, this issue was reviewed by the Traffic Engineer in the Public Works Department, who detcnnined that an all-way stop was not necessary in this area at this time; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Englewood Municipal Code 1 t-l-3-2B, when the City Council, for the purpo9CS of public health, safety and welfare, makes a determination which is different from that of the Traffic Engineer, such regulations may be imposed by Council after a public hearing and testimony.

Cokndo, hereby catify that the above is a true copy of a Bill for an Ordinance, introduced, read in full, and passed Oil tint reading on the 3"' day of November, 2003. Loucrilhia A. Ellia COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Date: Agenda Item: Subject: November 3, 2003 11 a i Ordinance to Direct Public Works to Install an All-Way Stop at West Tufts Avenue and Knox Court Initiated By: Staff Source: Public Works Department Ken Ross, Director of Public Works COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION No previous Council action. RECOMMENDED ACTION Public Works cannot recommend the installation of the all-way stop at West Tufts Avenue and Knox Court because this intersection does not meet Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) warrants for an all-way stop. A Public Hearing is required by the Englewood Municipal Code on this matter. Staff recommends setting a Public Hearing for November 17, 2003 to gather citizen input on this issue. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIAED The City of Sheridan has installed numerous stop signs and speed bumps on the east-west streets withfn their jurisdiction. The harshness of the traffic calming techniques that they have utilized has resulted in cars, trucks, and school busses using Tufts Avenue in Englewood in order to avoid these streets. Public Works has received a petition signed by the majority of residents that live in the area bounded by Lowell and Irving on the three cul-de-sacs -King and Julian Streets, and Knox Court The purpose of the petition was to request an all-way stop at Tufts Avenue and Knox Court Public Works conducted a traffic/speed study and the numbers did not indicate a major problem. But the perception of the neighborhood is certainly different Staff recommends against installing the all-way stop for the purpose of traffic calming for the following reasons: · D There is not a significant number of cross traffic on Knox Court; therefore it will be obvious that the device is meant to inconvenience drivers and not to assign right-of-way. This will result in compliance problems down the road. D Stop signs don 't decrease average speeds, people Just speed up in between stop signs to make up for lost time. The average speed on Tufts today is 29 mph. D Stop signs increase noise, pollution, and fuel consumption. D One stop sign will not alter the driving patterns of this neighborhood.

Loucrisbia A. Ellis • • MEMORANDUM TO: City Council THROUGH: FROM: DATE: Gary Sears, City Manager ~ Ken Ross, Director of Public Wo {J October 15, 2003 SUBJECT: ALL WAY STOP REQUEST AT KNOX COURT AND TUFTS A VE. We received a petition signed by the majority of residents living between Lowell Blvd. and Irving St on the three cul-de-sacs -King, Knox, and Julian -requesting an all-way stop at Knox Court and Tufts Ave. Our neighboring jurisdictions -Sheridan to the north and Denver to the south-have installed numerous traffic control devices that have had a detrimental effect on traffic on Tufts Avenue. Sheridan has installed mid-block stop signs on Dill Road, as well as mid-block stop signs and speed bumps on Mountain Rd., thereby making it an unattractive route for vehicles; Denver has two all-way stops between Tufts Ave. and Belleview on Lowell Blvd. We conducted a speed study to determine the magnin\Clc of the problem. The results are summarized below: Wcstboaad Tufts Eastbound Tllftl 7:00 a.m. 5.67% 6.98% There are about 774 vehicles per day that travel this"local street. There are about 50 residences in the immediate area. Based on Institute of Transportation Engineers trip generation rates, we would :xpect that the immediate neighborhood alone would generate about 500 trips per day. From an engineering point of view, the numbers would not indicate a huge problem in terms of either speeding or cut-through traffic. But the perception of the neighborhood seems to be that there is a problem, and they have submitted a petition requesting the all-way stop at Knox and Tufts. • • f • [i]·~---"-"U~l.:,.N.=.C.!.Y..:A:..:Yc.,l'-------------------,:,.·J • • • SHERIDAN t ~ ~ ~ IDGIM!!•I •L ..

SO were in favor of installing a 4-way stop sign at the intersection ofW. Tufts Avenue and S. Knox Court and 3 were opposed to installing a 4-way stop sign at the intersection ofW. Tufts Avenue and S. Knox Court. The addresses with a star to their left indicate those addresses at the 4 comers of the W. Tufts Avenue and S. Knox Court intersection. These residents will be impacted the most by the '• 1 installation ofa 4-way stop sign at the W. Tufts Avenue and S. Knox Court intersection. The percentage of residents surveyed in favor of installing the 4-way stop sign ia 94 .3%. The percentage of residents surveyed opposing the 4-way stop sign is S. 1%.

Tufts Avnue ands. Kn91 Court My name ifDonldllJlllrf-and I currently live at 3430 W. Tufts Avenue, Englewood, Colorado 80110 . I would like to thank the Englewood City Council for giving me this opportunity to speak tonight regarding the installation ofa 4-way stop at the intersection ofW. Tufts Avenue and S. Knox Court . To keep this short and brief, I would like to act as the spokesperson for this iuue. There are numerous people present tonight who came to this meeting to show their support for this issue. There are also individuals here who wish to speak independently after I have given my presentation . If Council desires, all individuals present in favor of this issue can stand, be sworn in, and give their names and addresses . To start, I would like to review the steps l have taken with the City regarding this matter . I . On September 8th, I met with Lad Vostry, Traffic Engineer for the City, to discuss this issue. 2 . On October 9th the Englewood Transportation Advisory Committee met to discuss this issue and decided to forward it to City Council . 3. On October 20th City Council moved to make this issue a Resolution and to put it on the November 3rd City Council Meeting Agenda . 4 . On November 3rd the Public Works Department recommended this issue be decided at a Public Hearing to be held on November 17th . 5. On November 12th two signs regarding the Public Hearing were posted by the City at the intersection ofW. Tufts Avenue and S. Knox Court . 6 . Today being November 17th I am in attendance at this Public Hearing before City Council to present my case . I have contacted and been working with those residents who live on the 3300 through 3500 blocks ofW. Tufts Avenue, the 4500 through 4600 blocks ofS. Julian Street, the 4500 through 4600 blocks of S. Knox Court, and the 4500 through 4600 blocks of S. King Street . For simplification, I will refer to this area as "the neighborhood". I canvassed the neighborhood twice to obtain residents input on this issue . I did an informal survey in September and obtained signatures on a form letter in November . I summarized the information I collected from the survey and letters into a report . I believe each of you should have a copy of this report before you . The report contains the statistical information I will be presenting tonight . t .. • • On September 9th, 11th, 12th, and 13th, I surveyed a total of 53 residents representing 36 households . There are a total of 59 houses in the neighborhood and 36 households represents 61 % of the neighborhood. Of those residents contacted, 50 are in favor of installing a 4-way stop and 3 residents are opposed . The percentage results of the survey alone are : 94% of the residents are in favor and 6% are opposed . On November 8th, 9th, and 15th I distributed flyers regarding the upcoming Public Hearing and asked residents to sign a form letter stating their desire to have a 4-way stop installed . I was able to obtain signatures on 57 letters representing 38 households. Again, there are a total of 59 houses in the neighborhood and 38 households represents 64% of the neighborhood . I personally delivered the 57 letters to the Englewood City Clerk this morning. For the record, I would like to read aloud the body of the letter signed by the residents of the neighborhood. The letter reads as follows : .... Taking into consideration duplicate names and addresses on the survey and letters, I was able to contact a total of 80 residents representing 48 households . Since there are 59 houses in the neighborhood, between the survey and letters, I was able to contact 81 % of the neighborhood . The results of my survey and letters show 77 residents are in favor of the installation of a 4-way stop and 3 residents are opposed . The percentage results of the survey and letters combined is : 96% are in favor and 4% are opposed . I have been an Englewood resident for 35 years and have lived at 3430 W. Tufts Avenue for 13 years . Of those residents who signed the letter, 35 residents or 61% have lived in the neighborhood for IO or more years . Again, the reasons why a 4-way stop is needed are: • W. Tufts Avenue is one of two through streets between S Lowell Blvd . and S. Federal Blvd . The other through street is W. Belleview Avenue. W. Tufts Avenue is the only through street between S. Lowell Blvd . and S. Federal Blvd . located in the City of Englewood . The street directly south ofW. Tufts Avenue, W. Pimlico Avenue, is located in the City of Denver. • Within the last year , the City of Sheridan has installed mid block stop signs and speed bumps on the two streets directly north ofW. Tufts Avenue. Those streets are W. Dill Road and W. Mountain Road The installation of the stop signs and speed bumps has discouraged motorists from using those streets and encouraged them to use W. Tufts Avenue. • Within the last year , the City of Denver has installed a 3-way stop sign at the intersection of the 3600 block ofW. Radcliff Avenue and S. Lowell Blvd . Again, this has discouraged motorists from using S. Lowell Blvd . and encouraged them to use W. Tufts Avenue. • The survey of the neighborhood and signed letters indicate a strongly perceived problem with traffic along W. Tufts Avenue . • The neighborhood feels a 4-way stop would improve our neighborhood and make it safer . Several of the residents who live directly along W. Tufts Avenue have children and are concerned with their safety . • A 4-way stop seems like the most economic solutioll It will not cost the City a lot of money to install the 4-way stop nor will it require a great deal of City staff time to implement it. i ' • • • The speed limit on W. Lowell Blvd . is 25 miles per hour and the~ limit on W. Tufts Avenue is 30 miles per hour making it more desirable for motorists to use W. Tufts Avenue and avoid S. Lowell Blvd During my September 8th meeting with Lad, we discussed several possible solutions other than a 4-way stop . Specifically, we discussed speed bumps, traffic circles, and automated speed limit signs . I am in full agreement with the City's stand on speed bumps and would oppose their installation. I am also opposed to the installation of traffic circles. In talking with my neighbors, several have trailers that require a 5th wheel to tow them. The installation of a traffic circle would narrow the intersection and make the passage of a 5th wheel trailer very difficult or downright impossible. The idea was to come up with a solution to alleviate traffic problems and at the same time minimize inconvenience to the neighborhood. I do not want to punish my neighbon by restricting or blocking intersections . It is clear the neighborhood perceives a problem with traffic along W. Tufts Avenue and a solution is needed . A 4-way stop may not be the most perfect solution to this problem, but it seems like the most efficient and expeditious solution possible . I have informed the residents who live at the four cornen of the intersection ofW. Tufts Avenue and S. Knox Court about the increase in traffic noise and emissions at this intersection . They are aware of the downside to the installation of a 4-way stop and are willing to put up with these inconveniences. This concludes my presentation for this evening. I would like to thank the Council members for taking this matter into consideration and I am asking you to pleue approve the installation of a 4-way stop at the intersection ofW. Tufts Avenue and S. Knox Court . Summary Report for Survey and Letters Survey & Letters 1 3300 W. Tufts Avenue 2 2 3301 W . Tufts Avenue 1 3 3335 w. Tufts Avenue 2 4 3351 W . Tufts Avenue 1 5 3390 W .

RECOMMENDED ACTION The Englewood Water and Sewer Board, at their November 12, 2003 meetin& recommended Council approval of the Agreement Regarding Design and Construction of Drainage and Flood Control Improvements for Marcy Gulch at City Ditch . BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED A Master Plan of Drainage for Marcy Gulch was originally prepared in 1985 for the Marcy Gulch drainage basin in Highlands Ranch. Urban Drainage, Centennial Water and Sanitation District and the City of Englewood now wish to proceed with design and construction of the drainage and flood control improvements for this area. Erosion has exposed the pipe and the coming spring runoff could cause Englewood's existing siphon structure to fail. This would create an emergency situation because water could not be delivered to either Highlands Ranch or the Allen Filter Planl Englewood owns the spillway that protects the pipe from Marcy Gulch runoff. Urban Drainage and Flood Control is proposing to c onstruct a new spillway, to replace the existing City Ditch pipe with 48" reinforced c oncrete pipe, and to construct a new inlet and oudet structure. Enlarging this pipe to 48" will allow the City Ditch to carry up to 59 cfs of raw water. Urban Drainage is overseeing the project and ensuring flood control compliance. FINANCIAL IMPACT This agree ment is for the engineering phase of the project, and Muller Engineering will design the spillway struc ture. Cen tennial will pay for the design of the inlet and oudet structures and enlargement of the City Ditch p ip e to 48H Englewood's portion is $1 2,550 with Centennial contributing $9,930. Funds for constru c tion of the project will be provided by an amendment to this agreement at a future date.

Ellis, C:ity Clerk of the City of Englewood, Colorado, hereby certify that the above and foregoing is a true copy of a Bill for an Ordinance, introduced, read in full, and palled on first reading on the 17th day of November 2003. Loucrishia A. Ellis [J EXHIBIT A 2003 CITY DITCH/HIGH LINE CANAL AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the day of ------~ 2003, by and between the City and County of Denver, acting by and through its Board of Water Commissioners, a municipal corporation of the State of Colorado ("Denver"), and the City of Englewood, a municipal corporation of the State of Colorado ("Englewood"). RECITALS By a document dated October 3, 1995, entitled CITY DITCH/HIGH LINE CANAL AGREEMENT, (the 1995 Agreement) Denver and Englewood agreed, among other things, upon delivery of water through City Ditch and the High Line Canal. Denver and Englewood now desire to amend the 1995 Agreement in its entirety, to read as follows: A. Englewood and Denver wish to arrange for delivery of water to each of them from a ditch owned by the other. Englewood desires deliveries from the High Line Canal, and Denver desires deliveries from the City Ditch to its contract users, and desires to have a remaining right to obtain certain deliveries from City Ditch for its own use . B. The High Line Canal ("High Line") is owned and operated by Denver. A turnout from the High Line is used by Englewood to supply water to McLellan Reservoir. C . Englewood owns and operates the City Ditch from Chatfield Reservoir north to Harvard Gulch blow-off. Denver owns the City Ditch from Harvard Gulch north to its terminus. Englewood uses City Ditch to convey water for Englewood's use to McLellan Reservoir and Allen Fi,lter Plant, for storm drainage, and to supply various contraC!I users who divert from City Ditch south of Harvard Gulch . In the past, Denver bas used deliveries from City Ditch to supply water to parks and contract users below Harvard Gulch (i .e., north of Harvard Gulch). Denver no longer desires to use that portion of City Ditch which lies south (upstream) from Harvard Gulch to convey water to locations on City Ditch which are north (downstream) of Harvard Gulch . However, Denver desires to retain certain rights to take that water which was previously de li vered to Denver at Harvard Gulch to existing·and new locations south of Harvard Gulch. D . Bec ause Englewood will no longer be delivering water to Denver for use north of Harvard Gul ch, the parties have agreed to change the compensation arrangements set forth in the 1995 Agreement. If Denver chooses to take the water which was previously delivered to it at Harvard Gulch , then Denver will pay for that water on the same basis as a contract user from City Ditch , as more particularly set forth below. E. The previous flows of water delivered to Denver at Harvard Gulch have provided flu shing o f intermittent storm drainage intercepted by the City Ditch, and have provided aesthetic benefits to the citizen s of Englewood. In order to assist Englewood in maintaining the use of Ci ty Dit c h for the flu shing of intermittent storm drainage, and to maintain its aesthetic benefits, t .:., • • [J Denver has agreed to make certain payments to Englewood towards the construction of a pump- back system in a portion of City Ditch. F. In addition, the parties have agreed to certain other changes to the 1995 Agreement, all as more particularly set forth below. Therefore, the parties have agreed as follows: I. HIGH LINE CANAL 1.1 Deliveries to Englewood. Whenever Denver is running water in the High Line at least as far as the turnout to Mclellan Reservoir, Denver shall divert at the High Line diversion dam not less than 5 cubic feet per second (cfs) and up to 60 cfs of Englewood's water. Englewood shall determine the amount of its water to be diverted, up to a maximum of 60 cfs. Denver shall continue to operate the High Line for deliveries to contract users north of Mclellan Reservoir under the 1879 High Line priority. 1.2 Notice. To the extent practical, Denver shall attempt to provide Englewood with advance notice of the time when Denver will begin running water through the High Line. When Denver notifies Englewood that water is running in the High Line, Englewood shall give Denver 48 hours advance notice of the amount of its water to be diverted, including rate and duration of flow. Denver shall make all reasonable and practical efforts to comply with Englewood's directions concerning commencement time, rate and duration of flow. Denver has the right to terminate diversions of Englewood's water, so long as all diversions of water into the High Line are terminated at the same time. 1.3 Measurement and Ditch Loss. Englewood shall bear a ditch loss of 16 percent (16%) of its water, diverted at the High Line diversion darn, as measured at the gage adjacent to Platte Canyon Reservoir, for delivery to Mclellan Reservoir whenever water is being delivered down ditch of the Mclellan Reservoir turnout. The deliveries of Englewood's water will be . measured at the gage on Dad Clark Gulch between the High Line and Mclellan Reservoir. For example, if 60 cfs is diverted for Englewood at the diversion dam, 50.4 cfs shall be delivered through the Dad Clark gage. If water is not being delivered down ditch of the Mclellan Reservoir turnout, Englewood shall bear actual ditch losses sustained by the High Line from the diversion dam to the Mclellan Reservoir turnout. In the event that any improvements are made to the High Line which decrease its seepage losses, the amount of ditch loss which Englewood must bear shall be appropriately reduced. 1.4 Waiver by Denver of Ditch Losses. Notwithstanding Paragraph 1.3, Denver shall, to the extent legally permissible, waive the 16% carriage loss when Denver is carrying Englewood's water in the High Line along with water diverted by the High Linc 1879 priority; provided that, Denver is not prohibited, for reasons beyond its control, from constructing the improvements proposed in Paragraph 2 .1.2. Englewood shall continue to bear the 16% carriage loss whenever Denver is not diverting under the 1879 High Linc priority (i.e., the Antcro Contract Run), or the actual loss whenever no water is being delivered down ditch of the 2 ' • • Mclellan Reservoir turnout. Whenever the 16% carriage Joss is waived, Denver's maximum diversion and delivery rate for Englewood shall he reduced from 60 cfs to SO cfs. 1.5 Water Quality. Denver makes no warranty as to the quality of the water delivered to Englewood, and Englewood will accept same "as is." 1.6 Maintenance Responsibility. Denver shall operate and maintain the High Line for delivery of Englewood's water to Mclellan Reservoir. Englewood shall pay a proportionate share of operation and maintenance costs as described in Paragraph 1. 7. Englewood shall maintain the present measuring flume at the Mclellan Reservoir turnout, at Englewood's sole expense. 1.6.1 Shut-off of Deliveries. Denver shall perform any maintenance work requiring either a complete or partial shut-off of deliveries in the High Line with the utmost expediency to minimize water losses. Except in emergency situations, Denver shall notify Englewood of all complete or partial shutoff at least 48 hours in advance whenever water is being delivered to Mclellan Reservoir. 1.6.2 Annual Inspection. Upon mutual agreement, representatives of Englewood and Denver may perform annual joint inspections of the High Line to determine maintenance work required to continue to deliver the rates of flow set forth above. The inspection of the High Line will be limited to the reach between the South Platte River diversion dam and the Mclellan Reservoir turnout. The annual inspection shall be made so that all required maintenance work will be completed, to the extent practical, prior to April 1. l. 7 Englewood's Share of High Line Expenses. Englewood shall pay a proportional share of the Board's annual High Line administration, operation and maintenance expenses (including depreciation) on that portion of the canal from and including the High Line diversion dam to Mclellan Reservoir (a distance of 16 miles, more or less). Denver will not charge Englewood for High Line capital costs, defined as the construction of new physical structures or improvements to existing structures that will have a useful life of five years or more (except for depreciation which shall be included in operation and maintenance expenses and calculated under generally accepted accounting procedures consistently applied). Englewood's proportional share of those costs' shall be based on the ratio of the volume of water diverted for Englewood at the High Line diversion dam to the total amount of water diverted by the High Linc from the South Platte River. 1.7 . l Calculation. The computation of Englewood's share of costs shall be in accordance with the following formula: CE = (16/63 .6) x CH x (QEIQH). Where : 16 Length of the High Linc in miles from the High Line diversion dam to the turnout for McLellan Reservoir on Dad Clark Gulch. 3 • • 0 63.6 Length of High Line in miles from High Line diversion dam to its tenninus at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal turnout. This distance may change in the future depending on Denver's operations. QH Total annual High Line diversion, in acre-feet as measured at the gage adjacent to Platte Canyon Reservoir. QE Total annual amount of Englewood water diverted or delivered into the High Line, in acre-feet, as measured at the gage adjacent to Platte Canyon Reservoir. CH Denver's total annual costs for administration, operation and maintenance of the High Line (based upon actual miles operated by Denver). CE Englewood's proportional share of annual High Line costs. II. CITY DITCH 2.1 Deliveries to Denver. 2.1.1 Previous Delivery to Denver at Harvard Gulch Shall Not Be Made. Under the 1995 Agreement, during the period of April I through October 31, inclusive, Englewood was required to deliver to Denver through the City Ditch at Denver's request up to 13 cfs of water at Harvard Gulch (measured at the Washington Parle flume). Those deliveries shall no longer be made. 2.1.2 Option to Talce Former Deliveries at New Locations. Denver may require Englewood to deliver, through the City Ditch, any portion of the 13 cfs formerly deliverable at Harvard Gulch to any existing or furore contract user's delivery structure or structures south of Harvard Gulch for irrigation of parks, open space, and golf courses of Denver or its customers. Such deliveries shall be in addition to the deliveries which Englewood is already required to make to existing contract users south of Harvard Gulch. Such deliveries shall be made only during the period April 1 through October 31. If Denver wishes to utilize new delivery structures south of Harvard Gulch, Denver shall pay to Englewood the full cost of the construction of the new delivery structures, whereupon delivery shall be made at the new delivery structures . The cost of construction shall include any temporary improvements to the City Ditch which are necessary to maintain the existing capacity of2S cfs to the Allen Treatment plant while construction of the improvements necessary for the delivery of all or part of Denver's 13 cfs to new locations is talcing place. If a new delivery structure is to be built south of highway C-470, it must be designed so that it would not conflict with an enlargement of the flume over Marcy Gulch or an enlargement of the passageway under Highway C-470, and must be built downstream from the stilling basin. Englewood shall perform the construction during periods when no interruption of flow will be necessary. Denver's option to require the delivery of 13 cfs shall be exercised by written notice to Englewood, specifying the delivery locations. Deliveries from existing delivery 4 ' . .. .. • • 0 (J structures which do not require modification of City Ditch shall commence within twenty days after delivery of notice, or at the commencement of the delivery season, whichever is later. Deliveries which require modifications to City Ditch or the delivery structures shall be made as soon as the modifications can be reasonably completed, or at the commencement of the delivery season, whichever is later. 2.1.3 Interruption of Deliveries. In "emergency situations," Englewood may temporarily reduce or eliminate the deliveries of 13 cfs to Denver pursuant to Paragraph 2.1.2, so as to increase the flow in City Ditch available for diversion into Englewood's Allen Filter plant. An "emergency situation" is defined as a casualty, such as an accident, mechanical breakdown, burst pipe, flood, presence of a harmful pollutant which is a threat to the health and safety of Englewood's residents, earthquake, fire or windstorm, which causes Englewood to be unable to make full use of its points of diversion from the South Platte River or Bear Creek, other than City Ditch. In the event of an interruption due to an emergency situation, Englewood shall take all reasonable and practical actions to enable it promptly to resume full deliveries to Denver. 2 .1.4 Interruption for Maintenance. If Denver or other City Ditch contract users are taking water under this agreement, then Englewood shall perform any maintenance work requiring either a complete or partial shut-off of deliveries in City Ditch with the utmost expediency to minimize water losses. Englewood shall, except in emergency situations, notify Denver of all complete or partial shutoff at least 48 hours in advance. 2.1.5 Water Quality. Englewood makes no warranty as to the quality of the water delivered to Denver under this agreement, and Denver will accept same "as is." 2.2 Englewood's Operational Responsibiiity. Englewood shall continue to operate and maintain City Ditch from the Chatfield Reservoir outlet works to the Harvard Gulch blow-off; provided, however, that Englewood may terminate such operation and maintenance as set forth below. Englewood shall prov,ide water to meet Denver's delivery obligations to the , present and future contract users on City Ditch south of Harvard Gulch, but such deliveries shall not be in excess of the contract rights to water which may be diverted under Denver's City Ditch priorities. 2.2.1 Carriage Losses. Englewood shall maintain and operate City Ditch in such a manner that carriage losses for delivery of water to existing contract users and Englewood does not exceed one cfs. If Denver chooses to take delivery of its 13cfs south of Harvard Gulch, as provided in Paragraph 2 .1.2, then the allowable carriage losses shall be reasonably increased. Carriage losses shall be provided from water diverted on Denver's City Ditch priorities. If improvements are made to City Ditch which materially reduce carriage losses, then Englewood shall not divert the amount of the reduction from Denver's City Ditch priorities. 2 .2 .2 Englewood 's Right to Close City Djtch. At Englewood's election, Englewood may close City Ditch at any point north of the point of diversion of the northernmost then-existing contract user, or the point of diversion then being used by Denver pursuant to Paragraph 2 .1.2 , whichever is the more northerly. Provided, however, that Englewood shall give written notice to Denver at least 90 days prior to any such closure. During that 90 day period, 5 ' ... .. • • ·• • • 0 Denver may give notice that it wishes to commence diversions under Paragraph 2.1.2 at a particular location within the area to be closed, in which event City Ditch shall not be closed southerly of the point where Denver wishes to make diversions, so long as Denver continues regularly to make those diversions. Furthermore, during the 90 day period Denver may advise Englewood that it wishes to resume deliveries to Harvard Gulch, in which event the parties may, by mutual agreement, recommence those deliveries. Englewood shall have no obligation to recommence such deliveries. Englewood may require payments for such deliveries to be calculated in the same manner as Denver's payments for deliveries from City Ditch were calculated under the 1995 Agreement. 2.2.3 Littleton Cemetery. Englewood accepts full responsibility for performance of Denver's obligations under that certain agreement between Denver and the Littleton Cemetery Association dated May 13, 1933, attached hereto and marked "Exhibit B", so as to relieve Denver of any liability with respect thereto. Denver has assigned all its rights and obligations under that agreement to Englewood. 2 .2.4 Maintenance of Harvard Gulch Blowoff. Englewood shall maintain and operate the Harvard Gulch blowoff at Englewood's expense, and may alter the blowoff structure for the installation of measuring devices. Denver will provide access through its streets and parks to facilitate such maintenance and the installation of measuring devices. Englewood will repair and restore any streets or parks damaged thereby to Denver's reasonable specifications. 2.3 Denver's Operational Responsibility. Denver shall continue to operate and maintain City Ditch north of the Harvard Gulch blowoff only to the extent Denver determines, at Denver's sole expense. (Denver shall have no obligation to Englewood to operate or maintain City Ditch north of the Harvard Gulch blowoft). Denver shall be solely responsible for supplying all contract users who have rights to divert from City Ditch north of Harvard Gulch. If such contract users are to be supplied from City Ditch, then such contract users shall be supplied by water introduced into City Ditch north of Harvard Gulch, which shall not be carried through any part of City Ditch south of Harvard Gulch, prior to its introduction into City Ditch. Englewood shall have no responsibility for operation or maintenance of City Ditch north of the Harvard Gulch blowoff. 2 .4 Fees Charged to Contract Users and to Denver. Englewood will be responsible for charging fees to existing and future contract users, including users who take delivery of water pursuant to paragraph 2.1 .2., who divert south of Harvard Gulch. Englewood's responsibility shall include establishing fees, billing, and receiving and retaining payments. Englewood will maintain normal business facilities and records for such collections, and annually advise Denver of payment or non-payment. In the event that Denver or its future contract users choose to take water under Paragraph 2 .1.2, then Denver or its designated user of water from the City Ditch by contract will be charged a fee calculated on the same basis as an existing contract user entitled to water. Invoices shall be payable in full 30 days from date of invoice. lf delivery is made to Denver, then Englewood 6 ' •• .. ! i • • -·· shall have the right to enforce payment, together with statutory interest and attorneys fees incurred on account of delinquent payments; but failure to pay by Denver shall not result in any sort of reversion of Denver's City Ditch rights. Denver will set fees, bill, receive and retain payment from contract users who divert from City Ditch north of Harvard Gulch. 2.5 Right of Reversion or Acquisition. Denver retains the right of reversion as to any contractual right for which an annual service charge is not paid by May 21 of any year. Denver also retains the right to acquire any contractual right in the City Ditch. Except as to those contracts that take water north of Harvard Gulch, any such reversion or acquisition shall increase the amount of water which Englewood may be obligated to deliver to Denver pursuant to Paragraph 2.1.2; provided that, Denver pays for delivery of such water as provided in Paragraph 2.4; and provided further, Denver is responsible for any improvements to the City Ditch required to convey such water north of the turnout of the contract users which Denver acquires by purchase or reversion. If Denver acquires contract inches which now divert south of Allen Filter Plant for delivery north of the filter plant, then Denver will make such improvements, if necessary, to prevent the diminution of the existing capacity (25cfs) to the Allen Filter Plant. 2.6 Denver's Share of City Ditch Expenses. After 2001, Denver shall no longer pay a share of the expenses of operating and maintaining City Ditch south of Harvard Gulch, except pursuant to Paragraph 2.4. 2.7 Water Rights. Englewood will divert on Denver's City Ditch priorities in order to obtain the amount of water necessary for the deliveries to Denver and to the contract users other than Englewood. Englewood will divert on its own contract rights for 3.21 cfs. Denver shall not contest Englewood's claim of ownership by contract or otherwise to divert up to 3.21 cfs under the senior priority Qf 30 cfs decreed to City.Ditch with an appropriation and priority date of November 28, 1860, as evidenced by decree of the District Court of Douglas County, adjudicating water rights in former Water District 8, entered on December 10, 1883. Englewood has the reversionary right as the co-carrier only to its City Ditch contracts up to 3.21 cfs. Denver does not warrant title to or the legal or physical availability of the 3 .21 cfs claimed by Englewood. 2 .8 Use of Impaired Capacin'., To whatever extent the carrying capacity of the ditch is impaired for reasons beyond the control of Englewood, then the delivery capacity below the obstruction shall be allocated first to carriage of Englewood's 3 .21 cfs. Englewood shall take all rea son~ble and practical actions to enable it promptly to resume full deliveries. 2.9 Use of Ci ty Ditch Excess Capacity. If Englewood determines the City Ditch has excess capacity, then En gle wood will deliver Denver's remaining City Ditch entitlement beyond the 13 cfs pursuant to paragraph 2 .1.2; provided that, such deliveries do not interfere with Englewood's prior obligations or interfere with its (or its lessee's) present or future use of the City Ditch. 2.10 Storm Drainage into City Ditch . Water in excess of the needs of the users from the City Ditch ("excess water") will be dumped as follows: All excess water introduced or 7 ... .. • .J • • collected in City Ditch south of the turnout into Little Dry Creek will be dumped into Little Dry Creek. Excess water introduced or collected in City Ditch north of the turnout into Little Dry Creek will be dumped at the Harvard Gulch blow-off into the stonn drainage system. ID.

City Council subsequently approved this request at their February 18, 2003 meeting. The 2003 "Summer Food for Fines" program ran Tuesday, May 2 7 through Sunday, June 8, 2003 and raised approximately $1, 100 in nonperishable food items for the lnterFaith Community Services Food Bank. We anticipate a similarly successful winter program. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Library Department recommends City Council approval of a resolution authorizing the Library Department to implement its 2003 "Winter Food for Fines" program from Monday, December 1 through Sunday, December 14, 2003. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED For the past 13 years, the Englewood Public Library has sponsored its "Food for Fines" program during the November/December holidays. This annual program allows patrons with overdue fines to "pa y" them off through the donation of non-perishable food items, e.g. one food jtcm cancels out the late charges (not lost or damaged charges) on one gypdue jtem . Food items must be presented to the Library Staff at the Circulation Desk in order for the fines to be cleared from the patron 's computer record. The collected food items are then forwarded to lnterFaith Community Services for their "food bank" distribution to financially disadvantaged families in the Englewood area . TI1is program has been warmly received by the public since its inception, and Library patrons now look forward to it Bes ides providing resources to needy families in this community, the program presents a positive image of the Library and the City, i.e. a "win-win" situation for everyone invol ed . The "S ummer Food for Fines" program and the "Winter Food for Fines" each run for a two week period. FINANCIAL IMPACT • Since its inception, th is program has raised an estimated $16,900 in donated food items to assist needy families in the Englewood area . .· .. .. • • • The Library historically averages $1,200-$1,500 per month in collected #late charges" (i.e . charges on books and other items returned past their original ·due date" and past the 3 day grace period). This revenue goes into the City's General Fund . • Historically, this amount of overdue fines has dropped to an average of $800-$1,000 per month during our annual FFF programs which means that the City loses several hundred dollars in revenues as a result of this effort However, that loss is more than offset by the "good will" this program generates among Library patrons and by getting the Library materials back on the shelves for others to use.
