(a) Paige Bradshaw and Heather VanderBrake-Hunt were prese nt to address City Council
regarding the upcoming Anhritis Foundation Marathon. Ms. Bradshaw thanked C ouncil for the
opponunity to speak to them. She explained that they would be running a marathon to benefit the Anhritis
Foundation, so all the money raised would go to that organization. The marathon will be held on
December 9th and, between the two of them, they have to raise $8.400.00. The money, she said, will all go
to either research or education. Ultimately the goal would be 10 cure arthritis altogether. Ms. Bradshaw
said they have learned a lot through researching this . There are over I 00 kinds of anhritis. She said they
are really excited and are doing it in honor of her father and Ms. VanderBrake -Hunt's aunt and uncle,
because runners are asked to pick an honoree for whom to run . She said they were here tonight to prese nt
their financial goal to Council and ask for their suppon .
Ms . VanderBrake-Hunt said the y wanted Council to ask them why the y should invest in their cause. She
said there are several reasons. She said she grew up in Englewood and was a product of Englewood Public
Schools and had come back after several years of being out of state to serve the community. She said she
and Ms. Bradshaw both work at Englewood Recreation Center. doing personal training and fitness for
people who live in the community. We think this will benefit people who suffer from anhritis, which
affects one in six Americans. There was an article in Newsweek on September 3'd , she advised, about
arthritis and how many Americans it affects. We would be running in honor of them and helping to
educate and serve them, since they are not able to do it themselves, she said. We a lso think it will benefit
the community, because, as City employees and fitness trainers, we believe it is imponant to practice what
you preach, and we feel we would be able to do that, not only by training ourselves. but also usi ng the
money for a greater cause. Finally, we feel that we , ourselves, would benefit from this because. obviously.
we are getting in better shape, which helps us serve our c lients, but also it ha s just been a good opportunity
to serve others. She asked Council to consider whether they would be able to suppon them, as a Coun ci l,
and also individually, as you see how this might benefit you. your family members or friends .
Ms. Bradshaw passed out flyers to Council regarding the marathon.
Ms . VanderBrake-Hunt stated that they are passionate about this cause because they service so many of
their own clients who are all different ages and abilities in the area of fitness . They have a lot of se niors
whom they work with and many of them suffer from this di sease and they see that their work can benefit
them.
Mayor Bums thanked them for corning. He said they would take it under consideration and wished them
luck on their fund raising effons.
Counctl Member Bradshaw asked when the marathon would be. Ms. VanderBrake-Hunt advised that it is
the Honolulu Marathon on December 9 ...
7. UnKheduled Vlslton
Mayor Bums advised that we often have confusion when we have public hearings. There are a number of
people who signed as unscheduled visitors because of the animal control issues we have before us tonight.
We are having a public hearing on those issues, which is not part of the unscheduled visitors. If yo u want
to speak on the animal control issues, you should speak at the public hearing, because that is the official
record of the conunents about the animal control ordinances. If you speak in the unscheduled visitor
category, he stated, you will not be part of the public record on the animal control issues. Ma ybe some of
you have signed on both, he said, but the unscheduled visitors may speak for up to five minutes . We invite
anyone to speak on anything they want to, but almost everyone who signed on this unscheduled visitor li st
have said they want to speak on the animal control issues. Mayor Bums said he would call all the names.
because they have signed. but if they want to speak at the public hearing on animal control, he asked that
they speak there and not under unscheduled visitors, because they would be making a record on the wrong

pan of the agenda . As I go down the list, indicate to me if you are willing to speak at the public hearing o n
animal control, rather than under unscheduled visitors, he said.
(a) Kevin LaPrise, 2931 South Clarkson , said he signed both and has another iss ue . He a,d
his other issue was the concrete issue . He said he understands that a number of us have elected to pa y a
cenain fee each month toward that function. Three years ago , he said, he watched some of hi s neighbors
get their curbs and sidewalks fixed , and they were not nearly as in need of repair as his wa s. He thank ed
Council Member Nabholz for being very responsive . He called her at home and she got some thm g
moving. He said his problem is that, when he called the otlice to ask why they passed him. it wa very
difficult to get someone to come out. When they did , they could not find where he needed the repair .
Council Member Nabholz had no problem finding the area in need of repairs . Also. he said it took him a
couple of times to get someone to come out and actually find that area . Ms . Nabholz informed me that 11
would be done this June . He said he understands that not everything is within her power, but it ha s not ye t
been done . He said he has some lovely purple dots and arrows on hi s sidewalk . whi c h indi cate a co nung
repair project. He said he wonders if that is , indeed. going to happen .
Ken Ross, Director of Pubhc Works. stated that is exactly right . We arc doing our pre-constructi on
conference with our contractor th, week, and they will be getting staned probably next week . They a re
going to stan on one end of 10.-11 and going through Englewood in a systematic wa y . They are not go in g 10
be jumping all over the place. so I don ·1 want to give you any expectation that they are going to be out there
next week . But , once they get staned. they will progress all the way through town , he said . If II ha s been
marked, it is part of the program for this year. he advised .
Mr. LaPrise said that was very encouraging. He thanked Director Ro ss.
(b) Bev Cummins, 3441 South Broadway, said she kept waiting for others to come and talk
to Council about sidewalk sales, but now we are right down to the nitty-gritty. We don 't really have even a
month to horse around here between times and get it going . She asked if there was a chance that the y could
push it up a little to about the middle of September, it would really help .
Mayor Bums asked if it was scheduled now. City Manager Sears said he did not know the process right ofT
the top of his head, but he felt that two a year were allowed and that there was a request by the business
association to have a sidewalk sale under our ordinance . He said he did not see any reason wh y we could
not proceed with that, but he would have to check .
Assistant City Manager Flaherty advised that the c urrent polic y allows for two sidewalk sales a year,
however, in order to qualify, they must ha\'e at least five contiguous business o,mers applying for the
sidewalk sale, and they would apply to the Conununity Development Department.
Ms . Cummins asked who that would be . Mr. Flaheny said the Community Development Depanment is on
the third floor here at the Civic Center, and the director is Bob Simpson .
(c) Bill Clayton, 958 East Cornell Avenue , said he was thinking on his way down that it was
such a pleasant evening, it is a nice time to be living in your car, because the weather is so plea sant . He
distributed a letter to Council and said he would be brief. He said he really was not going to talk to them
about living in your car. House of Hope is a family resource center and shelter for families . We have taken
over the old Arapahoe House detox building and, since January, have been providing shelter primarily to
women with children. The biggest drawback to us increasing our capacity is that it is an old building, it
was built as a convent, and it has all kinds of problems that make it difficult for us . One of the most
pressing issues is the need for a residential sprinkler system to protect the residents in case of a fire . What
a catastrophe if you were a small child, living in an unfamiliar place , and the building were to catch fire .
We have engaged an engineering company, they have done a fine job for us , and we have selected a
contractor. We arc on the verge of embarking on this project , which will cost us about $30,000 .00. Mr .

Clayton said he was here this evening to ask if the City would consider waiving the pem1it fee for the
sprinkler system. Certainly, if you can't do that, we will find a way to pay for it. This is an important
project and we have to get it done, so we would appreciate your consideration on that. Most of the funds
that support this project are public funds , or donated funds. so it is going to come from there. probably.
anyway . We have prevailed on the Englewood Small Business Development Corporation to loan us some
immediate cash so we can pay our contractor, because we really don't have the mone y in the bank. We are
using a CBDG grant, thanks to the efforts of Janet Grimmett. who assisted us through the City and through
Arapahoe County. If all goes well, since our CBDG grant expires September 15 "', we will have thi s project
done by then, and will be able to increase our capacity and will be able to take mtact fam1he s . We really
can 't do that right now, since our capacity just is not big enough. He thanked Coun c il for their
consideration and said he would be happy to take questions . We can all be very proud to ha ve this fac1ht y
in our conununity, he concluded. It is doing a fme job and the neighbors seem to be ve ry much m suppo rt
of it and it is a good project for us.
Mayor Bums told Mr. Clayton that Council appreciates his work on thi s. a 11 1 quue a yeoman· effort tha t
he has made on this facility. It is quite an improvement over what we had there before. he sa ,d . and offered
congratulations.
Council Member Grazulis asked how long the women with children actually lt,·e there What I thctr
average stay? Mr. Clayton said the intention is that they would stay mnety da ys. and dunng that ti me . th e}
can save their money, get a job. get their kids in child care and then trans 111on mt o a more pemtanent type
of housing. Everyone 's best efforts and best intentions are not always born out m realit y. he all o "cd
Once someone comes to the House of Hope. we can't make them stay. The e,penen c ha s been that th e}
generally stay less time than that . One of the reasons that the stays have not been a s lo ng a s "e \\Ould h~c .
is that we have not had the money to afford adequate case management We have another DBG grant that
is funding two case managers that staned in July, and Mr. Clayton felt that \\Ould help. because the e fo lk s
can obtain some additional assistance in life choices and hfe skills. He felt they would ta y a hnle lo nge,.
so that when they do le.ave, they will be more successful. He did not know 1fthere was an a,cragc . as the}
have people stay as short as a week or two and don ·1 like the rules , or the y omet,mes ta y the entire ninet y
days . Ninety days is our intention, he said.
Council Member Bradshaw asked about the cost of the permits. Mr. Cla)10n said he did not kn o ". but
imagined it would be about three and a half percent of the cost of the Job. Our contractor has bid II at
S23,000.00, he said, not including the ranks , which are another S6.000 .00, so we are lookmg at about
S30.000.00. He did not think the engineering would be figured in the perrrut fee . so he thought the y were
probably looking at about S900.00.
Director Olson asked, if be were able to find that out tonight, whether it would help them make a deci sion .
Ms. Bradshaw said yes, but she did not have a problem with it anyway.
City Manager Sears said Council could come back to this issue. Mayor Bums said yes, we have a very full
agenda. Ms. Bradshaw said we need to get back to them in a timely manner.
* * * * *
Mayor Bums said another thing we can do for those who signed on the unscheduled visitors for animal
control issues is call them first when we get to the public hearing on animals, since they probably got here
early. He s.iid be would continue down the list to see if they wish to speak at the public hearing. Mayor
Bums read the following nanxs, all of whom stated that they would like to speak at the public hearing:
Mary Hoeft, Stan Munyon, Virginia Saucier, Vernon Tate. Ron Zito, Joe McCue. The last name on the list
was illegible and there was no response to Mayor Bums ' pronunciation of the name.
Sandra Bartlrn had signed but did not want to speak at all .

8 . Communications, Proclamations and Appointments
There were no communications, proclamations or appointments .
9. Public Hearing
Mayor Bums advised that Agenda Items 9 (a) and (b) would be considered in one public hearing . He stated
that two public hearings are scheduled, and, after talking with the City Attorney, and since many of those
present would like to speak to both issues, he felt that legally we could hold both public hearings at the
same time . If you want to talk about the leash Jaw, that is fine , if you want to talk about the number of dogs
and cats, you can do that all at once, he advised.
COUNCIL MEMBER GARRETT MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO OPEN A PUBLIC
HEARING TO GATHER INPUT ON COUNCIL BILLS NO. 36 AND 37, AMENDING TITLE 7.
CHAPTER IA OF THE ENGLEWOOD MUNICIPAL CODE, PERTAINING TO DOGS AND
CATS AND THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS MAINTAINED PER HOUSEHOLD OR PREMISES.
Ayes : Council Members Nabholz, Garrett. Bradshaw, Wolosyn
Yurchick, Grazulis. Bums
Nays: None
The motion carried and the Public Hearing opened.
All persons giving testimony were duly sworn .
Patrol Operations Division Chief Moore, of the Department of Safety Services, advised that tonight ,
Council had before them two bills for ordinances, Council Bills No. 36 and 37. Council Bill No . 36 deals
primarily with the leash Jaw, to put it in the briefest terms, although there are ele,•en actual changes to Title
7, Chapter I A, dealing with animals. and various aspects of the animal ordinances in the City of
Englewood . This includes dealing with animal care and animal cruelty issues, among some other language
changes in the ordinance. Council Bill No. 37 deals primarily with the issue of the number of dogs and cats
that a household may or may not keep in the City of Englewood. Essentially, the language for these two
council bills was developed through the work of the Code Enforcement Advisory Committee , in
consultation with staff, over a period of several months . What you have before you is the language that is
being proposed with some adjustments by the Code Enforcement Advisory Committee. Council is
conducting a public hearing to address these two bills. Division Chief Moore introduced in to the record
the Proof of Publication of the Notice of Public Hearing, which appeared in the Englewood Herald on
August 10, 2001, giving notice to the public of this hearing.
Mayor Burns stated that it was not legally necessary to have a public hearing on these ordinances, but
Council felt the public would like to have input on them.
Division Chief Moore introduced the chairman of the Code Enforcement Advisory Committee, Don Roth,
who spoke to the issue of how these ordinances were formulated .
Don Roth, 2830 South Sherman Street, stated that he was chairman of the Code Enforcement Advisory
Committee, which is a mouthful, so from here on out. we will use the acronym CEAC . He introduced the
me~rs of the committee who were present. Present were Bill McCahill, Edna Blair, Bryan DesMarteau,
and Ruth Hansen . He said they began in 1998, when the committee was reviewing the nuisance abatement
ordinance that was before them and at that time, they became aware of a number of issues in the code that
were weak or had ambiguous language . The animal issue section was one that came to the forefront ,
primarily the issue of the leash law or lack thereof. Essentially, the way the code reads now, the leash Jaw

is, in essence, unenforceable unless there is an attack involved. Mr. Roth said they kept putting it off
because they knew it would be a hot topic. A little over a year ago, Englewood residents Ruth and Ned
Steel attended a CEAC meeting to express their concern about weaknesses in the Englewood Municipal
Code regarding the humane treatment of animals. They agreed to do some researc h and provide us with
some recommendations as to what they felt should be in those sections . He interjected that Ruth Steel wa s
going to address Council later, so it would be best to ask her any questions they might have about that. The
committee looked at the code provided by the Steels. They also had something else that helped them make
the decision to go ahead and address a number of the animal issues at once. That was the fact that , shortl y
after coming aboard as the Code Enforcement Supervisor, Dave Lynn began providing CEAC with
monthly acti vity reports regarding what was being done by the Code Enforcement personnel. It detailed
the numbers in some of the different categories, and b y the time the Steels came to us. we had a yea r 's
worth of data to look at, so it was obvious that it needed to be addressed, when it came to looking a t animal
issues. We looked at the code, both as pet owners, because a number of us are pet owners. and we looked
at it from the viewpoint of neighbors of pet owners. and most of us fall into that category. Bob Moore and
Dave Lynn also provided us with the viewpoint from the enforcement side, and Mike Flaherty from the cit y
management side. Over the ensuing months, the committee di ssec ted this code, sentence by sentence .
phrase by phrase. We did a lot of cutting and laboring at length over individual words, in some cases, o r
phrases. The idea was that, ifit made sense, make it enforceable. and ifit doesn't make se nse . ge t rid ofit.
Our goal was to more clearly define the responsibility that pet owners have to their pets. their neighbors
and to the community as a whole. Council Bill No. 36 is th e result of those discussions, he said . For the
benefit of the citizens present , Mr. Roth stated that the Code Enforcement Advisory Conunittce is a group
of citizens, who meet on a monthly basis . They listen to input from people s uch as the Steels. who come 10
them with problems. We try to li sten and act on them as best we can. ltimatel y. we are an advisory
committee, and Counci l gets to make the final decision. At th is point. Council Bill No. 36 is our ad,·ice .
On some of these issues, as the large crowd would dictate , the viewpoints are rather polarized . There are
some who feel that an enforceable leash law is unnecessary. Last month there was a yo ung lad y up here
showing us the ribbons that she had won from her dog training, and it is reall y wonderful to see that sort of
thing. If every dog in Englewood was trained like that, we would not be here . The problem is that thi s is
not the case. In order for her to win those ribbons, she and her dog had to demonstrate that they were
above average, even when compared to other dogs and their trainers . In Englewood. there are thousands of
dogs whose training consists of a rolled up newspaper. The question before yo u is whether we are willing
to place that same level of trust on thousands of dogs as we do on these few that ha ve undergo ne all this
training. Our monthly c ode enforcement statistics tell us that thi s is not the case . During the first seven
months of the calendar year 2001, there have been over 170 reports of constantl y barking dogs, over 600
reports of animals at-large, there have been over fifty reports of animal cruelty. and most di sturbing of all,
there ha ve been forty-seven animal attacks reported through the first seven months of the year. These ha ve
res ulted in 150 summonses, and over 300 animals have been trans ported to the animal shelter. Last mo nth,
the Colorado Humane Society reported to you that they had re ceived 629 animals from Englewood in th e
ca lendar year 2000. These are big numbers for any city, especially a city of 30.000, he opined. According
to the DMG Maximus report on code enforcement presented in August of 2000. Englewood has th e highest
population density in Colorado for cities with a population of over 30,000 people. As new development
contmues, that population density is on the rise. Neighbors are being closer and closer together.
Englewood is now an urban city and the rural standards of the pa st are no lo nger s ufficient. Therefore, the
CEAC encourages you to pass Council Bill No. 36, he said. For si milar reasons, the CEAC o pposes
Council Bill No. 37 as it is currently presented, he advised. The actual code that is currently enforced read s
that a single residence may house either two dogs or cats. That language is somewhat ambiguous, he felt .
A conservative interpretation, which probably was what the original intent was, but it is hard to tell because
it was written so long ago, is that the limit was two dogs or two cats. A more liberal interpretation is two
dogs and two cats, and this is what has been enforced by the Code Enforcement Division for the last several
years. The CEAC unanimously supports this liberal interpretation and we would like to see you amend
Council Bill No. 37 to reflect those limits, he asserted. As it currently stands, Council Bill No . 3 7 increases
the limit to four animals of any species. The CEAC feels that number of animals in a si ngle yard,
especially considering the small size of many of the yards in Englewood, is just too many. Maintaining

that many animals would be difficult without infringing upon the. neighbors. and noise and odors are
probably the primary issues here . CEAC would support a grandfather clause that allows residents who
currently have a third dog to keep it , but we would ask that the grandfather clause this time have a starting
date , so we don 't have a perpetual grandfather clause like the current regulation . He asked if there were
any questions .
Mayor Bums asked if the present code is being enforced as two dogs and two cats . Mr. Roth sa,d yes , that
is the way it has been enforced for the last few years . and that is what the committee supports. We just
want to clarify the language so it says two dogs and two cats .
Council Member Garrett asked how he proposes the grandfathering to work . Mr. Roth said. basica ll y. to
set a date, whenever this ordinance goes into effect. that the grandfather clause would start then, so that any
dog that was living at a residence as of that date would be allowed to continue to live there until it was
deceased, at which time they would be limited to two animals . Mr. Garrett asked about someone who
moves into Englewood. Mr. Roth said they would be starting with two . Mr. Garrett said the y would ha ve
to get rid of a dog if they o"'TI three . Mr. Roth said the y would if they move m after the ordinance goes into
effect.
Mayor Bums asked if other 11lt'mbers of the CEAC were going to spea k. Mr. Roth said he imagined of the y
want to speak, they would do It along with the public .
Mayor Bums asked if anyone else from staff or Code Enforcement wanted to speak at thi s time . There wa s
no one who wanted to speak.
Mary Hoeft , 3689 South Galapago Street, asked if they were allowed to talk about animal cruelty laws, to o.
as that was in the flyer that they got.
Mayor Bums said yes , and asked that all remarks be kept to five mmute s or le ss to try to accommodate
everyone present.
Ms . Hoeft said she has lived in the Englewood/Littleton area for her entire life . She sa ,d she is somet ime s
referred to as the dog lady by animal control because she pocks up all the strays that she finds and
sometimes she needs their help to catch them . She said she calls them from her car. She said she never had
a pet until six years ago when her husband insisted they get a reall y bog dog . She learned very quickly from
this dog that animals have feelings and emotions , and that all they reall y need besides food. water and
shelter. is love . Since that time, she has picked up over seventeen dogs, which she brought home . For
those with tags, she contacts the dogs ' owners, and rakes them over the coals about their dog s being loose .
For the ones that don 't have tags , she runs found ads in the papers and then proceeds to find them a good
home if they are not claimed . This number does not include the ones that have been loose that she ha s
simply chased home in her car, she said . That is one of the tricks that she ha s learned over the la st couple
of years, that if you just chase them, they might go home and jump over their own fence . This number al so
does not include those that she feels are emotionally neglected that , with the owner's permis sion, she visits
every day. These include junk yard dogs, and dogs that are chained m yards without regular attention from
their owners. I visit these dogs because I feel sorry for them, she said. They may have what the law
requires as far as food, water and shelter, but beyond that , they really don ·t have much of a life . This is just
to let you know that I care about all dogs , and not just the ones that I share my home with . We never dri ve
past any dog that is loose on the street, and I have even picked up one on the freeway. Ms . Hoeft felt that
the number of dogs should be raised to four . She said that people who can prove that they can provi de a
loving home for animals should be able to take care of more . The way we will prove this to everyone is
that all of our animals will be fixed, be up on their shots and in a home where they are visibly being well
cared for . This does not mean chained up in the back yard or animals that never go into the house . Ms .
Hoeft felt this would go hand in hand with some kind of licensing ordinance . She said she and her husband
have been brainstorming for weeks about how this could work, about a grandfather clause, and how will it

affect animals that are already in Englewood that are already fixed. These are things that can be figured out
as we get closer, but this is the first step in controlling the over population problem. We have to mak e
people more accountable if they wish to be guardians of other living creatures. Allowing people more do gs
can work. she asserted. if people can prove they are responsible , loving guardians. Regarding the lea sh
law, she felt that when out with their owners on the street, they should be on a leash or under voice control.
Obviously, the point was made about the dog that was very well trained and most of them are not, but th ey
should be able to go into a fenced park and take the leash off and throw the ball. and things like that.
Regarding cruelty and neglect. Englewood can lead the way in the fight towards complacency abo ut
animals . All too often. I see no water dish, or a drop of water in the bonom of a five gallon bucket . or
frozen water. This is where some of that extra money from the licensing can be put towards code
enforcement . At the present time , I feel that Code Enforcement has suc.h limited powers, all the y ca n reall )
enforce is the state laws , food. water, shelter and shade . It would be imposs ible to check all th e a111mal on
a regular basis . For example, they could investigate a dog. and the owner could say the y forgot to fill th e
water today. Two weeks later, the y could say the same thing. How long will it be before the y ca n do
something about it , she asked. and make that person pay, or educate them or whatever. Fut of a ll. she
opined, we need people out in the field who can drive up and down the streets and alleys and find th e e
dogs whose care is questionable . Perhaps it could be volunteers, as thi s is something that I alread y do . he
said. Then, we need to make the laws tougher, so when animal control gets to the house . the y a tuall y ha, c
some real authority. If it is not just educating people. then the y have to be able to hu them where the y ca n
feel it, which is in their wallet. Ms . Hoeft said she considers herself a visionary . I hope for the da y " hen I
can drive down the street and not see a dog chained up in the yard , or junkyard dogs that h"e e\'ery da y m
the blistering heat or the freezing cold. in a tiny pen. isolated from human conta ct, onl y to be let out at 111 ght
into an empty concrete yard, alone again until the next da y when their pathetic hfc sta rt s all O\'er agam . she
said. We need to have empathy for these creatures . We need to be aware that the y exist. and there are
many junkyard dogs in the City of Englewood . We need to be sensitive to their feeling s. There is no

and the spoiled dogs that I share my house with, except love. This ordinance could give more opportuniue
to animals in shelters that arc just waiting for a good home, she said . Ms . Hoelt said she was very excited
about the City's decision to take steps toward becoming more humane . She said she loves it here in
Englewood and is confident, with people who are devoted to working together and making this an even
better city for its companion animals , we will lead the way and inspire other cities to follow . She said she
brought pi ctures of the animals that she visits every da y on a dail y basis, which she in vited Counc il to look
at.
Stan Munyon, 4135 South Cherokee Street, stated he ha s lived at this address for thirty-two yea rs. He sa id
he is concerned about the number of cats and dogs . If everyone was as caring about animals as the
previous speaker, then we would not have a problem. But we do have a problem, he asserted , and it is a
problem they can 't even take care of now. I live in a good neighborhood , he said, with good nei ghbo rs.
There are about three cats that run free at night, especially in the summer time . every night. The cats figlll
in the front yard, in the back yard and on my patio . Mr. Munyon said he got up at 2 o 'clock in the mornin g
to try to run them off so he could sleep . He said his request to Council is please don ·1 make the matter
worse than it is right now. He said he does not know what the City can do to take care of hi s problem, and
he does not want to tum these people in, and he said he was unsure where all the cats belong . Sometimes
people will move away from the neighborhood and leave a cat . When we know about 11. we try to do
something, but you don 't always know. Nevertheless, it is a problem that we caMot take care of now. He
again asked Council to please not increase the problem.
Virginia Saucier, 4165 South Fox Street , said she has been an Englewood re si dent since 1976. She agreed
with Mr. Munyon that, to raise the limit on dogs to four. would be horrible. She said she lives in a
neighborhood llilcrc dogs bark from sunup to sundown and no one ever controls them. My neighbors have
two dogs that they never clean up after, and the smell is so bad we can't even sit on our patio, she said . I
have turned it in to Code Enforcement, and nothing has been done, so now I am going to go to the
Arapahoe County health dcpartmcnt, because I have a right to sit on my patio and enjoy it without having

to smell urine and dog feces. People do not take care of their dogs, she said. A lot of people do, and I ha ve
two dogs that are like my children, she said, and I expect them to behave. but most people do not. People
say dogs arc supposed to bark, but that should only be when they are agitated or a stranger comes into th e
yard. Ms. Saucier said there is a cat that goes in her flowerbeds and you can't even stand the smell lon g
enough to go out and water and weed them. To let people have more dogs, especially in a city thi s s ize, ,s
unheard of. Council has made an ordinance where you have to have two people in the neighborhood 10
complain and do anything. and so many people don 't want to because they are afraid . So how can yo u ge t
anything done, she asked. As for a leash law, I have a child who had his lip taken off several ye ars ago b y
a dog that was not on a leash . Ms. Saucier said they should be on a leash and not allowed to run free and
potty in everyone's yard. She felt that Code Enforcement should have more say, and be able to testify in
coun on an animal. instead of their hands being tied where the y can 't even go before a judge and testify as
to what they know about the animal. An officer of the law. police officers, go to coun and test ify and she
felt Code Enforcement should also.
Vernon Tate, 4781 South Grant Street. said he had two questions initially, and the fir st one was answered
by the chairman of the Code Enforcement Advisory Committee. This is probably not the place to bring up
the other issue, he allowed, and maybe he should be going to the CEAC. It ha s to do with the barking dog
ordinance . He said he was curious why that was not addressed in the amendment ofth1s secti on. He said.
in his experience, the barking dog situation is paramount to all the other complaints that animal control
people run into. I manage some rental units, he said, and under the definitions on the fir st page here.
regarding adjoining owner residents, in this case, the propenies that I manage are in a residential area , and
inunediately adjacent is a commercial zoning, and, in thi s commercial area is an animal hospital. Aside
from treating animals, they also board them. This weekend, they were maxed out as far as the capac it y th at
they could handle . I know that because I went over and talked to the owner, he said, and he remembered
me because I have taken all of our pets to him When he asked how I was doing, I told him not too good,
because my tenants have been corq,laining. Mr. Tate said he told him he would like to talk with him and
stt if this could not be kept under control. The owner responded that he must be one of those people who
called up and threatened him on the phone. Apparently they had been threatened that poison meat would
be thrown over the fence if the dogs were not kept under control. Mr. Tate said he understands that this is
the man's bread and buner, but the units managed by Mr. Tate are his bread and buner, he said . He asked
for suggestions from Council .
Mayor Burns said he was wel come to ancnd a CEAC meeting , as was everyone . That is what they are for .
he said.
Mr. Tate said he is the block captain on his block, and has literature from Safety Services about Code
Enforcement. It talks about barking dogs, he said, and he was just curious about wh y the issue of barking
dogs was not addressed in the revision of this Title.
Mayor Bums suggested that a member of CEAC might address that, if they are goi ng to speak toni ght.
Ron Zito, 4541 South Kalamath Street, said he and his wife moved into Englewood five months ago. O ne
of the things they noticed right away was the number of barking dogs in their neighborhood . For th e most
part, he allowed, the neighborhood is pretty quiet, except for the barking dogs . He said he asked hi s wife
the other night if there was ever a time when they do not hear dogs barking. It is very rare , he said, and we
have heard dogs barking from as early as 5 :30 a .m. and after I :00 a.m. We have counted the number of
dogs in our neighborhood, and this is a guess, at, within a block and a half, about twelve dogs . Most of
them bark pretty constantly. He said he and his wife both like dogs, but most of the people in hi s
neighborhood really neglect their dogs. He did not feel it was done on purpose, but most are stuck in their
back yards . He said he has only seen one dog in his neighborhood being walked, and that dog has been
walked off the leash. One dog out of twelve is not good, he stressed. They need exercise and need to be
familiar with their neighborhood, otherwise they are nervous all the time and have a lot of agitation . He
said he has talked to two of his neighbors about problem dogs, he said, and called the City to find out what

to do. They said he could make an anonymous repon and they would have someone come out to talk to the
people . He said he wanted to be neighborly, so he went to talk to the people to give them a chance . One o f
those persons actually responded favorably and that put an end to the problem with that dog .
Unfonunately, with the other neighbor. that did not happen . One of our neighbors actuall y had three dogs .
he said, and it was not the number that he wa s concerned with . When he asked the nei ghbor to do
something about the dog, he responded with "what do yo u want me to do , shoot him '!" Mr. Zi to said he
feels very strongly that, to raise the hmn to four , 1s a bad move on the city's pan . When people arc
neglecting their dogs now, what will doubling that amount cause , he asked . He felt that 170 barking dog
repons was low, because most people do not call in, because the y do not want to confront their nei ghb or
or do not want to cause problems . Having four dogs in a yard is overcrowding . If one or two dog arc
barking in a yard now, what are three or four going to cause'' To allow dogs to be unleashed. he said . 1s
courting disaster . We have skunks and foxes in our neighborhood , he said. and he did no t feel do gs hould
be unleashed because of those other animals . Mr. Zito reiterated that he did not think the number should
be increased at this time .
Joe McCue had signed to speak but said he would pass at this time.
Ruth Steel , 3416 South Race Street, said she has lived in Colorado and the Denver area all of her life. and
has lived in Englewood for more than thirty of those years . She read the following statement : "I enJOY
living in the City of Englewood, because it still has the capacity to govern itself and relate to issue s at a
humane level, to be responsive as well as responsible . Deservedly. Englewood is a city that has ga med
recognition for its civic and cultural achievements . But , as Mahatma Gandhi once said . the greatness of a
people can be measured by how it treats its animals . It is because I believe that the citizens of Englewood
have a social conscience, the means and the capacity to ensure that its animals are treated intelligently, and
humanely, that I come before you this evening . Fourteen months ago. coming home on a well-traveled
Englewood street, I was shocked to see a dog , totally isolated , chained to a po st at the side of a hou se,
cowering in the dirt by the side ofa tire under an automobile . Stunned by the apparent misery of thi s
animal. I drove around the block to make sure of what I had seen . Because I travel this route frequentl y, I
checked again on several occasions, hoping to see some sign of human kindness being bestowed on this
pathetic beast. Because none was in evidence . I contacted an animal rescue organization, which told me
that they had already had many calls about this same ammal. Funher, that since Englewood Animal
Control was already involved. I needed to call them Englewood Ammal Control had also had many calls
about the plight of this animal. Technically. however, because the letter of the law was being fulfilled ,
animal control was unable to intervene without a change in the law . All through the fiercely hot summer of
2000, and the cruel winter which followed , the dog was chained to its isolated , miserable. muddy outpost.
In fourteen months, at all times of the day and night, I have never seen a human spending time with that
lonely, vulnerable animal . Over time. I have learned that a great many dogs in Englewood share hi s c ruel
fate . Many municipalities throughout our nauon, including Denver, have outlawed tethering, or continuous
chaining. In 1996, the United States Depanment of Agriculture banned tethering or continuous c haining as
inhumane and dangerous to the confined dog and other animals . Believing that no animal should be
subjected to this kind of abuse, I feel that these practices should also be banned in Englewood . To this end .
I subsequently took my concerns to the Code Enforcement Advisory Committee. After having met with
that body for many months, I found its members to be courteous, patient and willing to wrestle with the
competing interests of complex issues that are brought to them. I have also learned that the citizens of
Englewood are extraordinarily well served by outstanding Code Enforcement Depanment officials . Chief
Bob Moore and Code Enforcement Supervisor Dave Lynn are intelligent, well-informed, even-handed , fair -
minded, knowledgeable public servants. They not only understand the law, but they are also dedicated to
protecting the rights of all of Englewood's citizens, while responding to the concerns of the community. I
want to take this opportunity to thank them for their accessibility, their responsiveness and their
professionalism. which helps to make this a pleasant place to live . In life , there is no constant but change .
Englewood, for better or for worse. is not exempt from the trade-offs necessitated by gro\\1h . Perhaps its
least-palatable aspect is the increasing need for the rules and regulations which we all view as loss of
individual freedom . Government did not create these problems. By denying limits to growth , we created

them ourselves, now we have to pay the piper. Some rules which govern our community and which are
responsible for keeping the peace will have to be redefined to do just that. govern and keep the peace . In
this instance, for this evening, we are talking about common sense and preventive mea sures , which address
the needs of an entire community. Determining the number of pets per household is a sticky wicket. but
reasonable . In addition to companionship and socializing, animals need adequate space in which to
exercise and move about freely. In a city it is often difficult to provide them with that space . Consideration
for the animals and the neighbors is critical to any decision about the numbers of pet we have . Tethered
animals, and animals confined to small. fenced yards, become lonely, bored and anxious when they are left
alone for protracted periods of time . It is my undersianding that Englewood has the highest incidence of
mail carrier bites of any municipality in this area . This is not because the dogs are bad, it is because their
caretakers have placed them in deprived , lonely and vulnerable positions . When their space is invaded .
they feel threatened . They defend themselves and their territory. The jokes about herding cats are based
more on fact than on fiction . Cats like to do their own thing , at home or abroad . When they are abroad , the
neighbors don't like it. I am a dog lover, and a cat lover, but I have learned to be realistic about
responsibilities implicit to being the carelaker. Laws must be realistic , too. Adopting a leash law in an
ever more crowded city is essential to maintaining health, safety and peace. Virtually all of the surrounding
municipalities have leash laws . It is regret1able that children and their dogs. even when perfectly trained.
no longer run free in the parks . Unfortunatel y, the exponential gro,-1h of human populations has
eliminated many options which we once took for granted . Appropriate, humane , healthy and protecti ve
care, housing and maintenance of pets , specifically dogs and cats . should be a no-brainer. replete with
obvious truth. Unfortunately. however. in all communities, mcluding Englewood , there arc people wh o are
ignorant of, or insensitive to. their animal's needs . or who do not care enough about their animal s to treat
them compassionately and humanely. There is an irrefutable connection between neglect of and cruelty to
animals, and the public interest and the public safety . If all individuals acted out ofa sense of public
interest, common sense , compassion. good citizenship and mutual respect, regulations and code
enforcement would not be an issue . It is a privilege to live in Englewood . It is a privilege to share our live s
with companion animals . All rights and all privileges are accompanied by responsibilities . It is our right
and our privilege to communicate with our public officials . It is our right and our privilege to panicipate in
the legislative process . To this end. I respectfully urge the adoption of the code changes proposed by the
Code Enforcement Advisory Committee . Meanwhile, the wretched animal on Dartmouth, referred to
earlier. is still chained to his miserable . vulnerable existence of endless neglect, isolation and loneliness.
Such cruelty should not be tolerated in this caring, progressive community. It is my hop.! that, in the ne ar
future , the Englewood Code Enforcement Advisory Committee will recommend that City Council outlaw
the barbaric, inhumane, urmecessary and intolerable practice of fulltime chaining . The compassionate
treatment of the animals for which we are the guardians and carelakers should renect that care . Humane
treatment is the responsibility implicit to the privilege of having animals . Meanwhile , as a communit y. I
believe that we are capable of making these difficult, necessary and irnponant changes .,. She thanked
Council for the counesy of their attention.
John Grazulis, 4489 South Lincoln Street, said he would not take a lot of Council's time , obviousl y there
are many people here this evening. He said he did not want to galvanize the group one way or the other,
any more than they already are . He stated that he sometimes wonders, however, ifwe are dealing with an
animal control issue or are we dealing with a government issue. Former President Ronald Reagan used 10
say that the best type of government is one that intrudes the least. Having been the victim of an animal bite
several years ago, he said, I can cenainly relate to those who are in favor of a very strict leash law . He felt
that some son of leash law should be enacted. He wondered, however, whether Council Bill No . 36 is that
law . It seems a bit restrictive on those who are responsible, he said, and unrestrictive for those who are
irres;,onsible . Regarding Council Bill No . 37, he reiterated that the best type of government is one that
interferes the least.
Kirstin Grazulis, 4489 South Lincoln Street , said she was present to talk about the leash law . Some of her
friends have dogs that do not go to trainers, she said, but they train them themselves . She said she believe s

they are very well trained. She presented a petitions with names of persons who would not want the lea sh
law passed.
Mayor Bums said the petition would be made a pan of the record .
Ms. Grazulis said she has won several ribbons with her dog. She said she would hke to put her dog through
agility, which has them completely off leash. where they go over jumps and through tunnels . She presented
a video of herself and her dog showing its training. At the conclusion of the video. Ms. Grazuhs said . for
some of the responsible pet owners in Englewood, she would like to have the opponunity to try her dog off
leash.
Kevin LaPrise, 2931 South Clarkson Street, said he has lived m Englewood for eight years. havmg n10,·cd
here from Denver. He said his neighbor acquired a number of dogs a couple of ye ars ago . This ha s ranged
anywhere from two to ten dogs or more, because the woman who was livmg with him was ra1s111g
Pomeranians. Pomeranians are a very unique dog. he said. They are very cute and lo\'eable. but ,f yo u
have ever heard their bark late at night when you are trying to s leep. it paints a very meniorable picture .
They are not so cute to me anymore, he said. For about two years. my wife and I listened. he sa id . and
there were times when you could not hear ten seconds go b y without a dog barking in the neighborhood.
He said his attempts to contact the neighbor were met with puzzlement and saying that the y would take
care of it. Last year, the dogs were gone because the woman moved away. This year. she is back 111 the
neighborhood, not living at the house but the dogs are back, he said. When we heard these dogs agam after
two years of grinning and bearing it , he said, I decided to call the police this time and not remam
anonymous. The police have been excellent, he said. and very responsive. and Code Enforcement has been
very helpful. The dogs do not get regular attention, and the smell of the dog fece s is terrible at mght "hen
you are trying to sleep. Being woken up anywhere from I :00 a .m. to 5 :00 a.rn. with a dog barking ,s
stretching me to the limit, he said. All it takes is about five seconds of loud barking and I am up, he said.
The owner will whistle the dogs in and the barking stops, but meanwhile, I am awake . What these people
do not realize is that they are training the dogs to bark, reinforcing it. They bark at squirrels and people on
the other side of the fence . Mr. LaPrise said his neighbor now has to go to coun, and, whether he plead
guilty or not guilty determines where he goes for the next round. In talking to Code Enforcement , I
understand that what can happen is that the owner of the dog can either be slapped with a fine. probation,
and, if it happens again, another fine or probation. Mr. LaPrise said there does not seem to be any teeth in
code enforcement. He said the house he owns now is the biggest and most expensive house he has ever
owned, and he is not rich by any means. He was really saddened to learn that his neighbor next door is th e
kind of neighbor that he is, because he does not care, and there are people in th is commumty who do not
have a clue about dogs. They don't know how to raise them, train them or how to respond to their
neighbors. He said he hears more and more dogs barking with each passi ng month during the summer. He
asked Council to please do something about that, and put the bite in the laws. He urged Coun ci l to please
consider not raising it to four dogs. There are too many people who do not understand how to rai se and
take care of dogs , he said. As a side question, Mr. LaPrise asked if we are allowed to have chickens in
Englewood .
Mayor Burns said not that he knows of.
Mr. LaPrise said he asked that question, not to get a laugh, but because he has a neighbor across the way
who has chickens. He said he spoke to Code Enforcement and was told that farrn animals are allowed. Mr.
LaPrise said he has chickens and dogs in his neighborhood and asked Council to please do something. He
said it would be good if Code Enforcement would conduct some mediation between neighbors. He said, in
his case, his efforts to communicate with his neighbor have been unsuccessful , and he was afraid to take a
stand with the police, and is still looking over his shoulder, because you never know what people are going
to do. He also suggested that if people arc cited for a noisy dog, that they be asked to go to a dog training
seminar. The people that I live next door to, he said, do not understand what it takes to keep a dog under
control. He thanked Council for listening.

Frank Martinez, 4600 South Inca Street , said he has known Council Member Bradshaw smce she wa a

My main complaint is people who let their dogs and cats run loose after 11 gets dark . I live n ght on th e

Mayor Burns called for Phillip Wanc zyk to speak . He was told the Mr. Wanc zy k had already left.
Katherine Fischbach, 4425 South Acoma Street. said she has lived at that address for over fift y years. S he
said she has a dog and likes dogs. but ha s been anacked about three times in the last year while walkin g her
dog in the park . It is preny frightening , she said. Her dog sta ys on a lea sh and she feels there should be a
leash law. Regarding the number of dogs, she said she would give an example . She said she lik es her
neighbors on the south and they have a mce dog. but they kept another dog for three weeks thi s summe r.
The smell was atrocious , she said . She a sked if Council could imagine what II would be like ha vin g three
or four dogs in a yard . She said sh e watched the movie that was just shown and did not understand the
connection between that and what we are talking about , whi ch 1s how man y dogs we should have and abo ut
a leash law. She said she has taken her dog to training . She said she is trained but the dog is not trained
and she is really against having more than two dogs and wants a leash law and she want s it enforced .
Beverly C ummins, 3048 South Acoma Srreet, said she and her mother have lived at that address for three
years and have neighbors who have dogs . We had to call the police earlier and complain becau se when we
complained to the neighbors , all the y said was dogs are supposed to bark . When the kid s are out, they are
supposed to bark, and if they are in, they are supposed to bark . She said her grandson called and said
enough is enough and the police did come out and take very good care of it. She said the dog s still bark .
every once in awhile, especially when they are gone on holida y. She said the y lea ve the neighbors to take
care of them which isn 't very smart because the y are still in the house barking all day long . Ma ybe the y get
out in the morning and at night , and that is ti. Ms . Cummms stated that her concern 1s the abu se of the
neighbors, not the dogs . She said we neighbors have to put up with thi s and it is abu sive to us. Al so . th e
children around there are stepping in dog feces in the yard, because people will let their dogs go at night
and you don't get out there fast enough to pick it up before the children are out playing . Also . you are
awakened , and you can't get back to sleep . Ms. Cummins said there. should be a law agamst people ha vmg
to put up with other people 's dogs . They don 't hear it , they must not , they don 't care if the y do and it's
dangerous to the children also . She noted there are eight dogs within a half block from her hou se to th e
south . The children have chased the animals out into the street, and two of the animal s have been ran over.
she said. One of them wasn 't killed but the little kitty was. She said the duplex next to here has a famil y
of two, but there were four dogs and two cats at one time . Now they ha ve at least gotten down to two do gs .
but the in the next house , there is one great big Rottweiler and that dog barks constantly when the y let it
out. She said it is not fair. because you can 't get back to sleep once they wake you up . Ms. Cummin s said
if it was up to her. they would have one of each and that would be it. Ms . Cummins thanked Council and
hoped they would not let anymore in . She felt we have enough to worry about now .
Rhonda Gramer. 3072 South Gilpin Street, stated she is a dog owner and has two small children . Ms.
Gramer said she likes to go to the parks of Englewood and the open spaces and always takes her do g on a

the cat to the owner and told the owner that I trapped the animal. Now I ha ve problems with my neighbors ,
thank you. He opined that all people should be limited to the number of cats and dogs they have . I-le said
he ·s a dog owner, but ifwe are going to have codes and laws like these that yo u are considering, then we
should enforce them and the City employees should be responsible in enforcing them . Mr. King sbury
thanked Council.
Mary Hoeft , asked if she could say one more thing. Mayor Bums told her that we usuall y ha ve one bite at
the apple here and Ms . Hoeft said this is not for the record . She faced the audience and spoke to them
briefly regarding dogs at risk . Mayor Burns advised that the hearing could not be conducted thi s way. He
thanked her and continued on with the hearing .

Irving Bennen, 4040 South Inca Street, stated that dog is man 's be st friend and dog's be st friend is another
dog, so I've got two of them . He said the problem with dogs is the fact that you are dealing with rights and
so many times ordinances and laws have to do wi1h whose rights shall pre vail. Shall we smoke or not
smoke, shall we put the Ten Commandments up or not ? He stated that the number of dogs or pets that
should be allowed would depend on the neighbors, so. if it is offensi ve to the neighbors . ma ybe one dog
could be too much and , if it's not. maybe ten would be fine . Mr . Bennett said. in regard to barking, dogs
are territorial. He said none of his dogs stay out all day. I just take them out for a walk or to do their thing .
he said. Every dog that is outside will bark continually when somebody walks by. He felt the problem
was , why do people leave dogs out . If they didn 't leave them out. yo u wouldn 't have that problem .
Maybe we ought to have an ordinance saying let's keep dogs in. He staled one other point wilh regard to
dogs, if they're out all the time and if yo u understand dogs are pack ammals. the y have no pack leader
when they are out and this is the biggest problem yo u have with dogs, no pack leader outside. The owner is
the pack leader, and if he 's not around . yo u ha ve a problem .
Terri Wans, 4338 South Galapago Street, said she and her husband came here tonight because it so unds
like we are one of the three people around here who don 't have a problem with our dog, he doesn 't bark .
She said he is a German Short Hair and she takes him every single da y to the greenbelt. which is below
Radcliff at the end of Galapago Street, and it runs really far to the east and wesl. She stated she walks him
there on a leash, and when they get to the park, she takes him off the lea sh and throws him hi s ra cque1ball .
Ms . Wans said she is concerned, when she hears so many people say dogs are barking. Even 1hough we
give them all the love and anention they need, a dog that doesn't run is going to be a neuroti c dog . She said
her dog never barks. and he runs every day for an hour in that park , sometimes for two hours. I hit th e ba II
and he runs for as far as I can possibly hit it , and he is exhausted when he comes home . She sa id 1 • ,·e been
doing that the year and a half that we've lived here . She said she never sees another dog in the greenbelt .
It is just us , every single day, she said . If people walk in and they have children, I always take the ball and
with a command I bring him right next to me so he won't go there. She said she asks if the y like dogs. and
when they say yes, he Just comes up and he does this linle shimmy. He 's really loving and friendl y to
people . She stated that she would probably have to move ifwe get a leash law that says there is no publi c
recreation area . Also. she said, that is what bothers me about Council Bill No . 36, because yo u say ii has
been proven that a voice command is inadequate . I hear all the concerns of the people, but th ose of us wh o
know what dogs really need, know that they need exercise and not just in their yard . Ju st to walk a yo un g
dog on a leash is not enough exercise. It is good for an old dog. but thi s 1s a yo ung dog. he 's Ju st barel y
two . If you decide to have a leash Jaw, I hope there 1s some amendment to It to allow a public re creati on
area like Chatfield Reservoir. It is a dog park and everybody can go and Jet their dogs off le as h . ual ly.
people with aggressive dogs don 't go there , she said. Our dog ha s been anacked twice by bad dogs who are
off leash, but I just quiver and fear when I think that there is not going to be any public place I ca n walk 10
with my dog, so he either has to be kept inside or just in a yard. lfwe keep say mg that 's not good enough
for dogs , she said, then there should be a public place in Englewood, or severa l, where dogs ca n be off
leash. People who are afraid, who have bad dogs, or have children that the y're worried about , perhaps, will
go to the other parks that are not dog parks . But to leave us with nothmg, is a disservice to the dogs and to
the pet owners in the area, and it actually will increase bad behavior and lots of barking.
Dean Glenn, 2704 South Delaware Street, felt that , more than barking dogs, even more than lea shed or
unleashed dogs, the issues that concerned him in these proposed ordinances , dealt more with the indicati on
that it wasn't that the City Council wanted to control its citizens, but to help and serve them . He said ifwe
all look closely at Council Bill No . 36, it turns all these actions or offenses into police actions, not animal
control or code enforcement actions . He stated that every reference to animal control officers is removed .
Mr. Glenn said it sounds like we have one area between 4400 and 4700 south and from Broadway to Inca
that there is obviously a problem, and that seems to be where ten or twelve people, who have spoken
tonight, live and that seems to be confined to that neighborhood . He said if we 're all concerned about the
animals, and anyone who owns pets is concerned about the welfare of their pct, then let 's show some
concern by enforcing current Jaws and not gening the City more involved in enforcement issues that the y
really shouldn't be involved in .

Barbara Fout, 4185 South Huron Street. said she would only take a few minutes of the Counci l 's time. and
thanked them for having this public hearing . She recognized that Co uncil did not ha ve to go through thi s.
and expressed appreciation for being given the chance to give some input. She said she is a third
generation citizen of Englewood, and is real impassioned about Englewood . It is a fine place to live. and II
is a fine place to raise your family . Some of those family members include yo ur own animal s . Ms . Fou t
encouraged Council to focus on the problem. as it seems that we ha ve enough rules on the boo ks . If "e JU St
organize the rules and enforce them, we don't need to create more legislation . she said . Let's address th ose
issues that are in violation. including improper care. abuse and neglect of any animals anywhere Mihm the
city limits . Let's not mandate proper care by those ofus that are already doing proper ca re . Please
consider letting Englewood residents govern ourselves, as I believe we are capable of doing. s he said . Do
not create more government, just enforce it more effectively.
Leroy DaVault. 3291 South Emerson Street. said he has lived in Englewood for sixty yea rs . He did not feel
it was a matter of how many dogs you had. but how you take care of yo ur dogs . that counts . He said he had
a dog that got cancer about three years ago and spent almost four thousand dollars on that dog . He stated
the dog is still alive . Mr. DaVault favors raising the limit to four dog s. The dogs yo u have should be taken
care of. that is where the problems are . it is the 0"11er not the dogs, he said .
Jackie White, 1071 West Oxford Place , referred to the Englewood Ci ti ze n and began with number o ne .
which discusses the amount of dogs . She said she has two and has never had any more than that. She
described herself as a responsible pet owner and. if s he chose to have more, she would like 10 ha ve th e
ability to do that. She said she favored the higher limit of four . As far as the cruelty to annnal s. 11 sound s
like we need Code Enforcement to be able to do their job. There have been complaints in my area in the
past where I did call on a dog, she said , because it was not fenced . It came over and attacked my dogs .
which were on a leash. She said they wouldn't do anything about it , and we need to give them the power 10
do something. Because of the cruelty to animal s. let 's fine the 01mers . or do whatever we need to do, such
as take the dog away from them. and let them be adopted by somebody that does love them. Regardmg the
leash law, Ms . White said her dogs are usuall y on a leash when she walks them. They ha ve been through
obedience training, but still cannot be trusted when the y see another dog that they are mt e rested in. or a
squirrel. or whatever. She stated they're going to take off. for the mo st pan. so she keeps her dogs on a
leash . However, ifwe are going to have a strict leash law. I agree with the lad y who was up here before.
she said, who stated that we do need to have somewhere in Englewood that we ca n tak e our dogs in a
fenced area where they can run. She said she really did not want to dnve clear out to Chatfield to do that or
down into Denver. She said that is something that needs to be taken into consideration. With re ga rd to
licensing, Ms . White said that, if you have responsible pet owners the y are going to li ce nse their pets. so
s he did not think we need another law on that .
Donna Johnson, 3145 South Cherokee Street, addressed the number of dogs permitted. We could ha ve an
encyclopedia full of laws and ordinances regarding animals, s he said, and there are always going to be
some owners who are cruel to their animals, but most of us are responsible. She said that, because of so me
of the stories in the papers, especially the woman who was beaten in Littleton, she ha s been thinking about
getting a third dog . She said that was her decision to make and did not feel it was up to the government to
decide whether or not she could have a third animal. She said she specifically listened to the chairman of
the Code Enforcement Advisory Committee, who stated that maybe we should have a grandfather clause,
stating a specific date to get rid of the third dog. She asked what date and which one of her animal s to get
rid of. She stated she is strongly in favor of four animals per hou sehold. Ms . Johnson stated that she ha s
listened to other citizens complaining about barking dogs . That ha s nothing to do with the amount of
animals per household. She said there is an ordinance out there that could be enforced by Code
Enforcement. Ms . Johnson addressed cruelty to animals, where it mentions shelter. and water containers .
She asked if the Code Enforcement Advisory Committee was going to patrol that . She said they would
have to add definite staffing in order to enforce that . You arc always going to ha ve that handful that are
cruel to animals, and don 't give their animals water, she said, so I think that, unless we want to get o ur

taxes raised , maybe we should not even consider that . She stated the next issue is animals on a lea h. Ms .
Johnson said she does not drive, but does a lot of walking in Englewood . She said she has never been
approached by a dog al large . She opined that 90% of dogs at large are out because the y got out of the yard
and the owner does not know anything about it. About a month ago, she said . my hand y man let my dog
out. He was gone approximately sixteen hours and got hit by a car and almost died. She felt that a ll she
would have needed was Code Enforcement to come and knock on her door and let her know she was in
violation. Responsible dog owners will put their dog on a leash, she said. and she felt animals should be on
a leash in a park. She did not think it was that much of an issue and was definitel y opposed to it . Finall y.
she addressed the licensing issue . She stated she has two dogs and one cat . and all of her animal are
licensed. Unfortunately, when the first of the year hits. we all come up with the same conclus ion that \\C
have to license our animals . However, sometimes medication or other critical expenses come up and
eventually we will get our pets licensed. She said again. she did not feel that it is up to the Ci ty to tell her
when she should license her dog .
Lin Tiffany, 4190 South Huron Street. stated that she is an animal lo ve r and has dogs that she lo\'es \'C ry
dearly. She said she has Dalmatians and works with the Dalmatian Rescue League, she fo sters dogs . and
helps place them. The dogs are all adopted dogs. one of them is deaf, and a car hit one of th em. She sa id a
family kept one of them in the closet and had him on drugs . If it were not for me . who kn ows where these
dogs would be, more than likely they would have been destroyed . Beyond that , she said, I've heard a lot of
talk about the irresponsible citizens. 1 am a re sponsi ble citizen and 1 am fortunate enough to hav e a large
home and a large yard. She said her dogs are in the yard. inside at night, have lots of room to run and the y
don't bark. She said she asks her neighbors if her dogs are bothering them, because she wants to be a good
neighbor. I also walk my dogs almost every day and I alwa ys carry a baggy with me, she said. and I am
proud of the fact that I am able to take care of these dogs . She felt she should not be hmited in the number
of dogs because, if she needs to foster dogs or care for ones that are abused, she would like to have that
opponunity. The issue at hand is irresponsible dog 0\\11ers , those that let their dogs bark at night , and th o e
that don ·1 keep them controlled on a leash. She said the issue is not those that are responsible owners. it is
those that don't know how to care for their dogs . She asked Council to address the underlying problem. not
just the s~tom. Pumsh the abusers not the true lovers and caretakers of animals, she concluded.
Judy Wallace, 530 East Amherst Avenue, stated she has lived in Englewood for thirteen years . She sa id
she supports having a leash law as part of the Englewood City Code . She said she 0\\11S two neutered
Shiatsu dogs, one male and one female . She stated that on October 15. 1995 , her male dog was attacked b y
an unleashed German Shepherd m Bates-Loga n Park . Later that evening. it was apparent that he wa s und er
extreme stress, so she took him to the Central Animal Veterinary Emergency Hospital. She said he "as
treated for trauma and a lacerauon to hi s le g. The next day he was taken to her regular vet for a follow up
nsil, and she detemuned that he was still m shock . He had not eaten or drank anything for ove r twent y-
four hours and he was havmg pain m his ne ck. She said he was shakmg so badly that the vet sat on the
Ooor with him to perform the exam. Ms . Wallace said the vet ordered presc ription dog food that had to be
hand fed to him so that he wouldn 't get dehydrated . Two days later she checked him again and determined
he wa sllll havmg pain in his neck . The dog would not go into that park for over two months after that
attack and to thi s day he 1s still frightened when another dog approaches him. Ms . Wallace slated , when
the attack occ urred, an Englewood police officer witnessed it and gave the owner a ticket for having her
dog off leash. At that lime , there was a statement in the Parks and Recreation Department 's brochure that .
ammals m parks must be on a leash , and the signs entering the parks also had that wording . She said the
non-t'mergency police department told her that she should call them anytime she wanted an oflicer to come
10 the park , and they would do the same thing . The last time II happened , the police officer approached th e
fi"e owners who were letting their dogs run freely . They challenged the police officer on the quote , sayi ng
that they had contacted Code Enforcement and they were told that there was no s uch thing . It did tum out
that there was no longer anything written down in their brochure. The signs have been changed and the
brochure now reads animals in parks must be in reasonable control. The next day, Ms . Wallace contacted
Code Enforcement and learned that this brochure actually is something that Parks and Recreation puts out.
and does n ·1 really have anything to do with Code Enforcement that the City can enforce. When she asked

the pohce officer what her options were, he said she had none, and if she was afraid to come to the park.
she should just stay out of it. Ms. Wallace feels that reasonable control is open to too much interpretation
by the animal owner. and is ineffective at the least and dangerous at the most . She said her dogs are about
the ize of a small baby. and wondered how you can be sure your dog will know the difference the next
time a small baby is crawling on the ground. She said, in resea rching this topic , she came up with hundreds
of communities that have an enforced leash law. If you read the Denver Post today. you saw the li st of our
surrounding communities that have leash laws . The American Animal Hospital Association state s in their
anicle that a community approach to dog bite prevention allows that animal control office rs should be able
to enforce leash laws . She also said The American Kennel Club endorses leash laws . She stated that , in
one anicle she read. the officer took the soft approach and carried inexpensive leashes with him and he
approached the owners with that as a first warning. Ms. Wallace is in agreement with the people who want
a dog park. She feels there are many reasons to keep your dog on a leash when It is not on your own
propeny, for the safety of your own dog and any other dog it may encounter, for the sa fet y of o ther people
and for the safety of wild life such as when dogs chase squirrels and rabbits. She said she was not saying
that young girl shouldn't have a place to train her dog for show or that the owner of a German Shepherd
shouldn't have a place to let their dog run, but there are several big dog parks in the metro area for that
purpose. She said one is as close as Washington Park, and it has Doggy Beach Day at specified times. M s .
Wallace felt that her taxes should go for the greater good for the community and its people. If I am afraid
to enter a park because there are loose dogs then my rights as a citizen are being denied because I'm being
denied access to the very parks that I have paid for, she said. In conclusion, Ms . Wallace urged the City of
Englewood to pass a leash law to ensure that the City code would be amended to include that law. to allow
the enforcement officers and the Code Enforcement office to enforce the law, and to work on des ig nating
one of the many parks in our community as a dog park. She expressed appreciation for all of the stateme nt
from people who are against these things because they are responsible dog owners. It is like the people
who go to therapy are not the people who need to go to therapy, just as the people that are here tomght arc
not the people who need to be here tonight. The people that are here tonight are responsible dog o wners
and whichever way they feel about this, I appreciate their being here, she said .
Janet Wallace, 530 East Amherst Avenue, voiced her suppon for the leash law in Englewood. She said s he
has two small dogs, which are walJced almost every day, and they are on a leash . She said. when she goe
to the park, and sees dogs that are off leash, she prays, not only for her dogs , but she is also afraid for
herself. We have all read about dogs attacking, and sometimes killing. small children. Cons 1denng the
number of other city, county, state and federal parks that have leash laws, it seems reasonable and prudent
for Englewood to have a leash law. not only to protect our pets, but to protect our children .
Mayor Bums called the names of Maybelle Goetz, Manha Warren, Vic Pankoski , Agnes Pank oski. Mary
Secor, and Mike Hoeft. all of whom had already left .
Jeanne McWilliams, 3795 South Grant Street, said she was really glad to see the dog situation being
addressed. If you've listened to these people, you know there are a lot of parts to this . She said she first
wanted to talk about the number of dogs . In no way do we need to allow more dogs per household. s he
opined. Englewood has small lots, and if you figure four dogs for a small lot, that is just really pushing the
envelope . She said she was very involved with a political campaign last fall , and the district went from
Broadway to Cherry Creek Reservoir, and from Old Hampden to Arapahoe Road . She said she and her
group walked the entire district, and she was primarily working Englewood. By far, Englewood was the
most difficult area to walk because of dogs at large, she stressed. She said she saw families that had over
five dogs in the yard. We could not approach doors because the dogs were coming off the porch, and we
were all in agreement that Englewood had the most difficult situation with dogs, and too many of them.
Dogs make messes, and the rule says it has to be cleaned up within twenty-four hours. Four dogs, within
twenty-four hours , could get pretty messy, she said. She agreed with Mr. Roth about the leash law. Very
few animals are trained well enough to be under voice control. That young girl obviously spent a lot of
time with her dog, but most people run home from work and they arc out the door. there is no training.
Additionally, I do a lot of walking in the greenbelt by Little Dry Creek, and other parks, and if I see a dog

out in the middle of the field, I do not know whether it is under voice control, when he is on one end of the
field, headed towards me, and the dog owner is clear across the field . I can't even tell if the dog can hear
the owner, so it is frightening. Also, we need to think about the fact that the codes need to be enforced.
Ms. McWilliams said her family has a young cousin who is developmentally handicapped, has cerebral
palsy, and the dog next door became very threatening . Every time he tried to leave his home and get into
the car, and he is very mobily challenged, this dog would come into his yard and threaten him. When his
mother called Code Enforcement, he could not do a thing about the neighbor, but told her she needed to
trim her bushes. We need the leash law enforced, she said, and it needs to be enforced everywhere.
Another thing she said she was worried about is that there are dogs on their 0\\'11 front lawn. When you are
walking down the street, they come off their yard on to the public street, after you . She asked if the
ordinance addressed this . She allowed that it is not a public park, but they do get into the public street and
she said she would like to see that addressed. We need to also address barking dogs. which most people
have already spoken about. We have more dogs in our neighborhood than we have people, the y bark all
night long, and she said she would not get up in the middle of the night and call the pohce about it . It is not
an emergency, and she did not feel like bothering the police, and you certainly do not want to fight with the
neighbors. It really is something that needs to be firmly addressed. she said. There are rules on the books
about removal of dog excrement, but it simply is not enforced now. She felt there should be more teeth in
the laws, and really make it enforceable. It is posted at the parks that you need to pick it up, but it is so bad
at the greenbelt over behind the high school. she said, that I can not allow my nieces and nephews to roll
down the hill . It says that it must be picked up within twenty-four hours on private property. but what if it
is your private property, but it is your neighbor's dog. She said she uses the shovel before she mows the
lawn, and she doesn't even own a dog. She said those are some of the things she would like to see happen,
and she was really glad to see this situation being addressed.
Errol Nixon. 1552 East Girard Place, said he was going to be brief because of the intelligence of all of the
speakers that we have had tonight. He said he knows they are intelligent, because they have expressed a lot
of his views. It is unfonunate that so many irresponsible people have forced this upon us , but government
is a maner of compromise, and he felt that every household should have at least one dog and one cat. He
said he would co~omisc and go along with this two dogs and/or two cats situation. He said his concern
is that be takes his grandchildren to the parks. and unfortunately finds situations where there is animal
excrement on the grass and in the playgrounds . He said he finds that the least responsible people are the
people with nultiple animals. unable to control them and unwilling to pick up after their animals. He felt
the people who were the most irresponsible were the ones who had the ego to have a number of animals,
but not the responsibility to take care of them. That is why I feel we are doing the right thing tonight , he
concluded.
Mayor Bums called the name of Mary McCue. She was not present.
Jennifer McKernan, 4353 South Lincoln Street, she said she supports everything in Council Bill No . 36, for
all the reasons we have heard tonight. She felt that Council Bill No. 37 should reflect a total of four pets,
whether it be dogs or cats. It could be two dogs and two cats, or it could be three dogs and one cat. We
have had lots of examples tonight of people with fifteen cats, five or ten dogs, but irresponsible people are
going to be irresponsible, they don't care what the law is. Those of us with our pets, can take care of four
animals, she said.
Mayor Bums called the name of Joe Jostes. He was not present.
Linda Hart, 4352 South Pennsylvania Street, said she has shown dogs for twenty-five years , has taught
classes in the Englewood/Linleton area for South Suburban Parks and Recreation for five years, and has
taught for fifteen years altogether. She said she has champion dogs, she trains dogs, and she shows dogs in
obedience and confirmation. She said she found out about all this just this morning, so she has been doing
some research. She said she has also worked as an animal officer and cruelty officer in the past, and has
worked with the cities of Linleton and Denver, and on a state level with their legislation. She said she also

helped Denver with their barking dog laws . Responsible owners are responsible owners, she said, whether
you have one dog or whether you have four dogs . You clean up after your dogs , you make sure they don't
bark, you make sure your neighbors are happy with you, and you make sure the neighbor knows how to
contact you with problems, and you get the problem resolved . That is what I have done, she said. and I
have had happy neighbors . You have ordinances to cover barking and loose dogs, she stated. Education
programs are important, she said, and I will offer a linle bit of a solution that was offered a few years ago ,
but fell along the way. You have a lot of dog show people in the community and have a lot of expertise in
the Englewood/Linleton area. We love Linleton and Englewood, because you have good animal co ntrol
people and you have a good city to live in with animals . These people would be willing to help put
together an education program that, if someone gets a ticket for a barking dog or whatever the offense 1s.
these people would have to anend a class and be required to go through that as part of their penalty. That
has been shown across the country to be very effective in resolving problems . Ms. Hart said s he ha s ca lled
animal control on barking dogs, and has also knocked on people's doors at four o'clock in the morning
because their dog was barking. If you educate people, it does help, she stressed. If you issue them a 1i ck<·1.
they pay the fine and the problem continues . You take them to the classes and educate them. thi s is the wa y
to stop a dog from barking. You first find out why the dog 1s barking -is it lonel y, ha s 11 been left o ut in
the yard without food and water? Find out the problem. then yo u teach them how to teach th e dog not 10
bark. It has been very successful , and I have all the materials at home . If someone, such as a111mal control.
is willing to work with me. we can set up ome kmd ofa class to re so lve some of these probl ems. she said.
and I think it would help a lot. Having small dog . I rai e si lk y terriers . which are about ten or '" ch e
pounds, I have a problem with dog loose m parks off the leash . They can be dangerous and I worry about
my dog being anacked by someone's dog that i not well mannered . Also. if I want 10 tram my dog 111
obedience, I need to take my dog out 10 a park, set up my Jumps and be able to work my dog off lea h. She
said she would like to see some way of punmg thi s m the law. that if someone was actively working a dog
on obedience activities. they would be allowed to have the dog off leash. If you pass a stronger leash law.
she said she would lilte to see the City put together a plan 10 have a dog park . There are a lo t of those
across the country. there are a lot of good plans that can be brought together from AKC and other
associations on how to put a dog park together that works . Havmg every dog that is able to go 10 the dog
park have a canine good cnizen certificate on them. which means they have bas ic manners, will help . The
lady that wants to be able to go out and throw a ball so he can retrieve it. some dogs need that activity. She
said she has small dogs that can run around her h ving room and get their exercise, but a big dog can not . so
that needs to be dealt with . The respons ible owner should not ha ve to suffer because of the 1rrespons1ble
ones, but the responsible ones also ha,·e a respons1bihty 10 help the City and the community to re o lve the
problems, so that is what I would hke to offer, she said .
Mayor Bums called the name of Mike Thompson. He was not present.
Gail Blank, who preferred not to giver her address, said she recently moved back home to Englewood after
living out of state. She said she is very happy to be home , but is concerned that everyone is so worried
about the dog issues and the leash laws . She said this town was beautiful when she left. She said he ha s
dreamed for years about corning home , because Englewood was home and was a beautiful town . Now, she
said she could ride around and see ten to fifteen junked cars in yards, houses where there are drug deals or
something going on and run down neighborhoods. She said she walks down alleys that she used to pla y in
when she was a linle girl. and they are so full of trash that she can't even walk down them. And we are
worried about how many dogs we 've got? Yeah, I brought some dogs with me , she said, and I am

but can we make Englewood the city that I left. instead of worrying about some of these linle issues. Let · s
clean up this town, she asserted, and make it the town I left .
Cindy Scott, 3063 South Fox Street, said a world where dogs could not run off leash is a world she would
not want to live in . It is important to a lot of people and a lot of dogs . She said she was surprised to see the
wording of the Englewood leash law. It is actually very generous to just say reasonable control. She
suggested that it be reworded to specify the details of voice control, because many dogs are under perfect

control and totally focused on the activity at hand, and it would be a disservice to make that illegal. She
also said she would like to see the number of allowed animals increased. She said she has talked to people
who have too many animals in their home, and they are afraid because it is very important to them.
Someone with three dogs is going to have a tendency to keep some of them hidden, but that is not good for
the dogs and it is not good for the people to be afraid . Many of thos e dogs are not a problem to anyone , she
concluded.
Kathi Moore, 3265 South Race Street , said she is the proud and loyal owner of two beautiful and lovi ng
golden retrievers . She said she has been blessed and privileged enough to have been loved by them for
over seven years . Because of the lessons they continue to teach me every day, she said, I ha,·e begun to
consider raising assistance dogs for physically challenged individuals. To do this , my duty would be to
raise them for the first twelve to eighteen months of their lives, and after that , the y attend further education
and hopefully graduate as an assistance dog. I would like my only challenge in accomplishing thi s
endeavor to be whether my heart can handle the separation from something I have raised and grown to
love, but not because I have already hit the limit. she explained . If the limit of two dogs is kept , I will not
be able to help give someone who needs the dog as more than JUSt a friendly compani on. the ability to li ve
life more productively and to experience the lessons and love assistance dogs can give .
Mayor Burns asked if there was anyone else who wished to speak . There was no one .

be held to discuss a lot of the input tonight. He said that significant portions of this need to be di scussed
before he would be able to vote on this .
Mayor Bums asked if that pertains to both ordinances. Mr. Garren responded affirmatively. Mayor Bums
agreed, stating that there has been a lot of input tonight and some very good suggestions on some other
steps we can take . We had a considerable offer from Linda Hart to start an educational program, which
Mayor Burns said he appreciates very much . Obviously, she is a lady who has a lot of experience in thi s

Council Member Bradshaw said she would like to remand this back to the Code Enforcement Advisory
Comminee to consider the barking issue. the education issue , and to reword the leash law. That is Just a
thought. she said. because those are the three areas that I picked up , from the public hearing. that we need
to focus on.
Mayor Bums felt it would be very valuable to have staff collect the information received tonight , and
perhaps put it in a form where we can review it . Then. if we want to refer some of it ba ck to Code
Enforcement, it might be a constructive thing to do. Or pick out a few things, we had a lot o f comments
tonight on barking dogs.
Ms. Bradshaw said yes, that was on just about everyone's list . She said she had a bad dog once. that
barked, and he barked because the neighbor was leaning over the fence tryi ng to get a re cording of th e dog
barking, so we could go to coun. She said she has since moved from that neighborhood, and she ,s mu ch
happier where she is . She said she and her dog have a record here in the C ity of Englewood for bark111 g .
Just the dog, she said. That is a huge concern, and that is probably the first issue that people talk abo ut ,vnh
dogs, she said.
Council Member Grazulis said that can also be pan of the education. because th ere are in vas 1\"C and no n-
invasive ways of controlling barking. Perhaps everyone should be educated on that , she said .
Council Member Wolosyn said, regarding Council Member Brads haw·s suggestion. she preferred to ha ve a
discussion at Study Session, and then maybe make a list of things . Panicularly abo ut the barking d og . and
begin the discussion and let Code Enforcement come back and comment on it.
Council Member Bradshaw suggested having the joint Study Session on O ctober 8th .

The motion carried.
(iii) Ken Ro ss. Director of Public Works , addressed Council Bill No . 53 , vacating a
ponion of the right-of-way located in the 2400 block of South Pecos Street. He stated that , back in 1997.
City Council approved a resolution authori z ing the vacation of the right-of-wa y on Pecos Street, between
Wesley Avenue and Harvard Avenue . Unfortunately, when that happened, it was sent over to the count y,
and the county took this resolution authorizing the vacation as an ordinance to vacate. They changed their
maps and sent a notice to the propeny owners that this right-of-way had been vac ated . Mr. Ro ss said he
came to the City in 1999 and tried to work this out with the two propeny owners, in order to address th e
three conditions that Council had made in 1997, and we have worked it out. The propeny owner to the
south was very cooperative, although the property owner to the nonh was not very cooperative, he said .
We have, basically, provided a turnaround that satisfies the needs of the Fire Division. We took their
largest ladder truck out there and had them pull in and back out and get out of there . which established the
minimum amount of area required for that turnaround. We posted it , and, in fact , because the propeny
owner to the nonh was not very cooperative, we actually used city forces to install asphalt and demarcate
that area, and then we posted it with no parking signs, he explained. So we have worked It out with both
property owners, and, although they are not full cul-de-sacs. we believe that , with those no parking signs
and with enforcement from our Code Enforcement Officers, the integrity of those two turnarounds can be
provided. In fact, last week, or the week before, founeen vehicles were towed because they were

improperly parked in that turnaround area . bl ock in g access to the fir e hyd rant . That action probably cost
that busi ne ss close to $1,000 .00 . Mr. Ro ss said he wa s happy to repon. when he went out there last week,
it had been a whole week , and the perso n was still respecting that turnaround , so it showed that he ma y
have gotten the message. Staff is re commend ing that Council approve th e ordinance to vaca te the west
thiny feet of the right-of-way on Pecos Street between those two streets, he asserted .
Council Member Bradshaw thanked Director Ro ss for answering Coun ci l's conce rn s and for goi ng out
there again .
Director Ross opined that we are going to ha ve to sta y on top of it. but he fe lt it would wo rk .

(a) Ma yor's Choice
(i) Mayor Bums congratulated Janet Grimmett and the City for receiving a spec ial
Colorado NAHRO Award for excellence in affordable housing and conunumty se rvice assisting the House
of Hope .
Council Member Bradshaw asked if they could talk about the House of Hope and the letter present ed by
Bill Clayton . She said she knows we don't usually do that , but it doesn't see m like $900.00 is a lot of
money. We have $1.4 million in Project Build funds just sitting there. and si nce we aren 't doing Proj ect
Build, she said, I think we could afford $900.00 out of that .
Council Member Wolosyn said it was in the rehabilitation fund . Counci l Member Bradshaw sai d that is
rehabilitation of a facility that obviously we need more of in Arapahoe County . Englewood stepped up to
the plate on that one, so she felt we could use the fund s from there .
City Manager Sears said he did not know exactl y what that wa s, but we would estimate around $1,000 .00 .
Council Member Garrett suggested allowing up to S900 .00. Council Member Bradshaw felt up to
S 1,000.00 would be appropriate. That way we can give them an answer, because they are on a deadline .
Ma yor Bums said it looks like they are on a pretty tight time frame .

(b) Council Members ' Choice
(i) Council Member Grazulis stated , regarding thi s evening 's dog iss ue s, that she i
kind of embroiled with them. There are several educational resources, including Linda Han. She sa id she
has other resources that she would love to offer to Council. This would be names arid numbers of people
who have volunteered before . There is another dog trainer in Englewood, and we went to the sc hoo ls and
tried to approach them about what children should do around dogs , and were flatly told no , the y should no,
be taught that . She felt that , if the y were approached in a different way, thi s would be an excellent
opportunity to include all aspects . She said she would lo ve to be in on that.
Council Member Bradshaw asked about using the Health and Safety Committee through the sc hoo ls. She
felt it was a perfect venue .
Mayor Bums said it seems as though , if you approach the schools in the ri ght way, the y should not turn yo u
down.
Ms . Grazulis said they were turned down flatly many times, because if was an insurance issue . The re "ere
going to be demonstration dogs, and they wondered what would happen if the y turned on a child .
Council Member Bradshaw felt it could be offered on a Saturday at elementary sc hools. and the interested
parents could be there with their kids , because parents need to be educated. too .
(ii) Council Member Wolosyn said she and Council Member Bradshaw attended th e
bond steering committee meeting last week . During that meeting, Sel Hewitt sai d he had attended a sc hoo l
board meeting and the discussion of the SchooVCity meeting came up . Apparently Dr. White wa goin g to
talk to City Manager Sears about havi ng it sometime in October.
Mr. Sears said he did mention it last week, and his secretary is trying to put tog ether a couple of dates, ewn
in September. He thought the 1411, and the 20•h were the two dates that had been talked about . He a ,d he
was sorry he did not raise that earlier, but they would like to get together and we will try to g1\'e Council a
phone call tomorrow with the dates they have come up with .
Council Member Bradshaw said we need to have a set agenda that goes out ahead of time .
Council Member Grazulis said she was a representative for that, and they were asked about the tw o dates.
On the 2011, she would not be there, she said, because it was going to be an evening session at 6 : 30 p . m .
She thought she could be there on the 14 m.
City Manager Sears said, if that is the case, we will let all of Council be aware of that. We will get ho ld of
Counci l tomorrow when that date is set up , he said.

(a) Jack McGraw, Acting Regional Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agenc y,
advised that David Ostrander and Kathy Atencio, staffers for the Brownfields project in our region, were
also present. It 1s ccnainly a pleasure to be here for this event. he said. Many times when people hear the
name EPA they conjure up all kinds of negati\'e images, but we definitely have the whne hat on tomght and
we are glad to be here to share tlus moment in recognition of the City's efforts in the Brownfields program.
He stated that the C ity has expressed an outstanding initiati ve and creativity in the way the Ci ty ha s
supported the Brownfields proj ec t and the Brownfields program in the City . I want to officia ll y go on the
record, he said, as saying that we want to recognize Mayor Burns and the City Council members for their
support and for the approval of this proJect some time ago , because without your support, endorsement and
encouragement, the program people cannot make thi s a success. Believe me, he said, thi s has trul y been a
successful effort by the City of Englewood and Englewood has been a leader in the Brownfields program in

our region. We co ,·er six stat es and yo u are right there near the top in leadership, creat ivity and initiative
and the problems you faced and the way yo u overcame those . You thought creative ly and you thought
outside the box. he said, like your idea to use PILOT funds for assessment loans . This didn't work at fir st .
but you didn 't gi"e up, you kept working at it and working at it and now yo u have found a way to make it
work . which can set a precedent for our program nationally, not j ust in the City here. but the whole nation .
Every ume, as yo u ca me upon an obstacle, you persevered and overcame that obstacle. Again , he sa id. l
want to officia ll y go on the re co rd to congratulate you fo r yo ur support and leade rship in this area . The
Cny also was the first PILOT grant recipient with the clean-up program in our region. It was ninth m the
country and 1l is the largest loan, to date. for a cleanup, as a part of the Ce ntenn ial Park expansion. The
City 's program has had great success with projects, such as the Keough and Company bu siness expansion.
which was a real success when you see the write-up on that one . the o ld Thomas Planng site and there ha s
been signi ficant progress on the old General Iron Works property and even on your own ininati\'e. without
any funding from the EPA, yo u have led in the development of Ci nderella C ity. l j ust want to conm1ent. he
said. that you are landlocked and this progra m has become a way of doing business for the City of
Englewood. It is the way you think . the wa y yo u do things , he said. and you are far beyond our program
and we are just glad to be a catalyst to help get that started. because yo u are defi nitel y o n your own and
making some real progress. We commend you on yo ur leadership. both locally, as well as na11onall y. Yo u
will have a member of yo ur staff at o ur national meeting in Chi ca go . corning up in September. telling them
about the success of this project . We continue to offer you our support and encoura gement. h~ s aid . an d "e
look to yo u for leadership. Mr. McGraw noted that their work with th e City of En gle wood has c entered on
three people . With Coun c il 's perrru s1on. he said. I would like to recognize those three . He noted there are
a lot of people here who ha ve made thi s a su cessful project, but the se three people are tl1e one s who
spearheaded it and made it th e success tha t n 1s . We know wi thout th eir efforts, moti vauon and drl\e that
these projec ts would have been much les s hkel y to succeed. He stated that our grants, through the
Community Development Depamnent, have been "ell used under their direction. For their effortS l would
like to present awards to Bob Simpson, the Director of Co mmunity Deve lopment, Mark Graham and
Darren Hollingsworth. The citation we would like to present, to the Community Development Department
of the City of Englewood. 1s an Environmental Achievement Award for their strong leadership, relentless
initiative and creati vi ty in carrymg out the Brownfields project, resulting in cleanup and reuse of ke y
Brownfields propemes in the City of Eng lewood. Mr. McGraw thanked Mayor Bums and Counci l fo r the ir
support and continued leade rship in the Brownfields program.
Mayor Bums said Coun cil apprec iates that ve ry much .
Mayor Burns noted that he was privi leged to go to the White House about four or five years ago to ac ep t
the first Brownfields Grant that we obtained, which was one of 32 in the country at that time. and that
kicked off our Brownfields participation . l like the word relentless , he said. as they have j ust been after 11
and after it . We are looking forward to the General Iron Works proj ect and certainl y. the Centennial Park
expans ion . We reall y appreciate yo ur cooperation, he said, in working with o ur staff on these projects. It 's
a great thrill . He thanked Mr. McGraw for coming .
Mr. McGraw thanked Mayor Bums and he wished the City good luck .

Theatre since March I A. We are here to make a request, he said. Because of the actions of this body we
have been able to consider making a move, a relocation from where we are in downtown Linleton to
CityCe nter. In light of this opponunity we have undenaken a capital fundraising campaign, he said, and it
is a rather extensive one for a small organization like ours . The cornerstone and kick-off for tlus 1s a wme

Museum has agreed to stay open that evening so that our patrons can wander through the Museum and look
at the an works as well . This venue is rathe r expensive for us. he said, but we wanted to have It here.
because we feel it is ve ry imponant, for the perspective donors who come to this reception. to be able to see
the big picture here. all that is going on and then to be able to understand how David Taylor Dance Thearre
fi ts into thi s larger perspective. So we felt it was very important to have 11 in thi s place. Because of that. he
said, and be caus e this event is acruall y raising funds to help us relocate from downtown Linleton to here.
we resfectfully request that the Council consider allowing David Taylor Dance Theatre to use thi s s pace o n
the 27' , free of charge. That 1s our request. he said .
Counc il Member Bradshaw asked what the no rmal charge would be . Mr. Rush said he thought that. for
non-members, it 1s $200 .00 an hour or somethin g. It will be around $1.000.00 for the len gth of time that
we want it.
Mayor Bums asked Mr. Rush if the y will have enough room here to accommodate all the p eople. Mr. Ru s h
advised that the y are only planning on about 100 people . I think the room is limited to 150. he said . o
even ifwe have a few additional people. we will still compl y with that. We won ·t be bringing dnnks out
into the atrium; we unders tand that we have to keep those in the Community R oom .
Mayor Bums advised that Counci l does no t take ac tion during thi s pan of the meeting. that later o n the y
will have Council Member·s Choice. He asked if an yo ne had an y funher questio ns of Mr. Rus h.
Council Member Grazulis asked what time It will s tart . ~1r . Ru sh advised that the event will s tart at 5 .30
and goes until 8 :00.
Council Member Grazulis asked what da y that fall on. Mr. Ru sh advise d it w ill be hel d o n Thursda y,
September 2 7"'.
Council Member Wolosyn asked 1f It is a ti cketed event. Mr Rush advised the y will be sending o ut
invitations and all of City Council will rec eive o ne . It 1s an mv1tat1on onl y event . he said.
Mayor Bums commented that there might be a lot more of the Bail y's bu,Idmg constructed ~t that pomt.
Mr. Rush said he thought it would be very excmng for them to see "hat is happening next door and all
around.
Mayor Burns thanked Mr. Ru sh for coming.
Council Member Bradshaw advised that Council wo uld ge t back to Mr. Ru sh, through Mike Flaherty.
{b) Kells Waggoner. 3301 South Race Street. said he had several things to discuss tlus
evening. One is that at the northeast comer of Humboldt and Floyd there is a lot there that is full of weeds
and I believe in equal treatment for all , he said. The other thing, he said, is that he would request that yo u
keep the City"s website up-to-date. I checked today for the Council Agenda for this evening and the la st
one on there is August 6"' and Council Member Bradshaw ·s address is still 2910 South Marion. Council
Member Bradshaw confirmed that yes, she did move two years ago.
Mr . Waggoner advised that the main thing he wanted to talk about was Consent Agenda Item IO (b l (vii),
Council Bill No. 53 , approving the vacation of the right-of-way in the 2400 block of South Pecos Street. It
seems to me. he said, that that has been before the City for quite a few years. in fact I remember talking
about it even when I was with the City. !fl remember correctly, he said. there is supposed to be a correct
turnaround at the end of each one of those streets. Wesley and Harvard. I was over there today and if the
Ci ty is calling that a facility for a rumaround, he said, then I think you arc sadly mistaken. I had a tough
time rummg my Suburban around at the end of either one of those streets. Not only 1s n full of Junk cars m
that area, ,vTecked cars, but some of them are even out m the travel lane. Mr. Waggoner stated that there 1s
reall y no delineation of any kind of a turnaround. When we vacated Jefferson Avenue, he said, on the east

s ide of Cherokee. we actually put that in a Paving District and made sure it was designed to some standard .
I an·t tell you whether that area over there has been in a Paving Distnct or not . I trunk the streets ha ve, but
certainly the end where we vacated Pecos has not been. At least, he said, to my recollection, it bas not
been. I tlunk that should be put in a Paving District with the curb and gutter delineating the turnaround. he
said, and I would challenge the Fire Department to go over there and try to turnaround at the end of either
one of those streets. I don't think they can do it. When I was with the City, we were told by the Fire
Department that there should be a 90 foot diameter cul-de-sac. a 45 foot radius cul-de-sac , so the y could
turnaround in that area. Mr. Waggoner emphasized that they can't possibly do it at the end of e11her on~ o f
those streets. I would suggest that you table Consent Agenda Item 10 (b ) (vii), he said . until suc h
provisions are made or that you get some answers. I would also like some answers as to why we are
vacanng that street before the proper provisions for a turnaround are designed and installed. Years and
years ago, that place had regular visits by the police, there were a lot of tickets issued for junk car and 11 1s
snll the same now, it hasn't changed. If you have any ques,ions I would be glad to answer them. he sai d. at
least from my perspective.
Mayor Burns thanked Mr. Waggoner.
Council Member Bradshaw thanked Mr. Waggoner for bringing that 10 Council"s anention .

go out to do some turnarounds at one point in time . But, he said, I am not up to speed on the current status.
We will raise these concerns and bring them up at the next Council Study Session.
Council Member Bradshaw noted she needs more information before she would feel comfortable voting on
this, because that is a really serious area and we need good fire protection and good response capability .

Director Simpson stated the y were here to reque st appro\'al . on fir treading, fo r the rransfer of the former
City Hall property. at 3400 South Ela ti Street . from the Ci ty of Englewood to the Englewood
En\'ironmental Foundation. He explained that the purpose of the rransfer 1s to facilitate redevelopment of
the property . primarily to begin demolition of the former City Hall building . As yo u know . he aid. ome
of the building contains asbestos, and what we are eekmg to do . during the demohuon process, 1s to
protect the City from any environmental hab1ht1es . We are only. acruall y. seeking the sou thern pomon of
this property as a transfer at this time . not the enure parcel. There are actually two parcels that go wnh this .
One is on the north side of the Englewood Parkwa y and the primary po rtion is o n the outhern portion.
Ultimately, full survey work will be required and that has not been fully co mpl e ted at this time . That 1s ull
required, and , probably, there will be so me reconfigurauon through so me subd1vtS1 on that will be required
He noted that has not been full y detemuned . But . he said, with approval from Council tonight . \\C would
be able to facilitate the redevelopment and demohuon of that building .
Council Member Bradshaw asked what wa s our reason for wantmg to do the demohuon o urselves .
Director Simpson advised that. pnmanly, It enhances the va lue of the property fo r re sa le or redevelopment.
Without a building on that propen,•. he explained. "e are removing the risk of th a t removal. of the
demolition, for potential developers. or potential resale. on that property . We believe that we have a better
sense of what those environmental costs are. he said .
Mayor Burns noted that we are also transfemng this property to the Englewood Environmental Foundation
to remove the City from substantial finan cial environmental liability potential , the sa me as we did \\1th the
CiryCenter project. It is a similar type ofthmg. he said.
Director Simpson said we have actually conducted an ennronmental assessment on the building and we
have a fairl y good understanding of what the environmental issues are within that bu1ldmg . We al so h,-·e a
fairly good sense of what the cost ",II be for the demohuon and the remediati o n . We believe that ha"'"!l a
firm handle on those costs will give us a bener sense of what those demoliu on cos ts Mil be , a opposed to a
de.-eloper, not knowing exactly. He pointed out that even though they have that info nnatton available . the y
do tend to add dollars to that potential and that n k.
Council Member Grazulis asked about their nmeframe for starting the demoli tion. Capital Proiects
Manager Kahrn said, assuming Council approves the rransfer on first reading this evening. that second
reading would be on September 41
•. At that nme, he said. the re would also be a resoluuon . because we
need the funds to go forward wtth this action. Then we would spend the next coup le of weeks hnmg up
conrractors and environmental folks , he said , m order to, hopefully. take this down by the middle. or the
end . of October at the latest .
Council Member Grazuhs noted that at one ume Early Educauon. through Englewood schools. had
expressed an interest in just using tt unul the demoli t10n . But, she said, that timing doesn "t seem to mak e
that feasible at all. Capital Projects Manager Kahrn satd no, the building has asbestos m it and. quite
honestly, when folks are in there there is always the possi bility that someone could be exposed to a bad
situation. So, he said, it is best that we clean 1t up .
Capital Projects Manager Kahrn added that he had talked to the building maintenance folks and found out
that , in the month of July. it was cost us $ I ,500 .00 just for Publi c Service to keep the building open. And
of course , he pointed out, those costs go way up in the winter.
Ma yor Burns commented that the y have discussed before that if the developer did the demolmon 1t would
cost a good deal more than if the City docs 1t. Mr. Kahm said he didn "t tlunk that was probably true , but
the developer doesn ·1 know for sure and so he is taking a risk . So if you were working with the developer
he would add money, to protect himself, in case he runs into something unexpected . In this parttcular
ins tance. he said, at least we know that the cost of the demolition and the environmental cleanup 1s what n
actually costs and we arc absorbing the risk that way .

Council Member Bradshaw asked 1fthere are any grants . Brownfields Grant, or anything like that
available . Mr. Kahm stated that there is nothing that they are aware of.
Mayor Burns asked ifwe had any more news about Siru . as we had invited them 10 make a proposal.
Director Simpson said he was acruall going o, er some of the calendar dates that we have been going
through. We met on August 8 .. , wnh S,rus , 10 discuss the Borders proposal. he said. to make sure they
were completely clear. On Augu 1 10 ... Mr . Kahrn and I sat down wnh Cliff Weinberger and Skip Miller 10
go over the Borders proposal and potenual redevelopment ofth1s property. We discussed their murual
interest and the City 's goals 10 make this land of deal a reality on this property. Mr . Simpson stated that
Mr. Weinberger agreed to get a proposal put together within the next rwo weeks. 1 believe he was to
forward that proposal on to lap '.\.1,llcr toda y, he said , and I am not certain whether that was completed.
do need to follow-up on that . But , he said . we do anticipate it was . We are anticipating some sort of
proposal or response from both of these parties by the end of the month and we have indicated that by
August 31~ we should have some son of proposal. What I am going to be doing is setting up another
meeting with the review comrruncc and Ma yor Burns and Council Member Garren will be anending that.
Sometime in the first or second week of September. if we can get that 1,>roup together. I would hke for them
to consider and review that proposal and make a recommendation back to City Council. So that is kind o f
the timing that we see as to where this proposal nught be . he said .
So, Council Member Bradshaw saui Mr. Miller ,s mvolved in Phase 2. Director Simpson advised that he
is involved to the extent that since there ,s a Borders retailer interested in this proposal. and he is acrua ll y
the broker, the representative . for the Borders reta iler and so he does ha,e some p01e n11a l ,meres t m 11
Council Member Bradshaw said at one time Mr. '.\.!,lier represented us . Director Simpson sa,d I don ·1 kn o "
ifhe has ever represented us . Mayor Burns said he would have to agree . Ms . Bradshaw sa,d she J USl ha d 10
bear that said again . She commented that it will be interesting 10 see how that fall s out .
City Anomcy Brotzman said, rcgardmg the question about assuming the liab,hty and the risk. that he ,s
really happy that the rwo directors for EEF arc comfortable with what the risk ,s for abaung the hab,hry on
this, but the reason EEF was formed was for EEF 10 accept the risk that was unacceptable for the C ,ry to
bear. That is why we are transferring the property, and that is why we arc transfcmng 11 for SI 0 .00.
because EEF is accepting the environmental liability.
Council Member Bradshaw asked what the scenario would be if they don 't meet the deadline by the end o f
August. Director Simpson advised that they would probably have to talk to the review comnuncc and
dcterrrunc what course of action the review commince would like to take . There are a vancty of opnons
and I tlunk they need to be discussed, he said . Council Member Bradshaw noted that Mr. Miller is paying
u $3,000 .00 a day at this point . Actually, Director Simpson said, tlus is not about Mr . Miller as much as 11
,s about Situs , because it is their proposal . We will be expecting a proposal back from Situs and. be said .
that will need to go 10 the review commincc. Director Simpson opined that there will be a proposal , but 11
ma y not be somethmg that the review comminec finds acceptable . In that mstance , he advised, the review
comnuncc will make recommendations to Council as a group and then Council can take ac11on on them.
Director Simpson said he would advise Council to anticipate this proposal , m some form, conung back 10
Council for disposition by mid-September.
Council Member Grazulis asked if. in the building itself, there arc any salvageable fixtures . Mr . Kahrn
advised that there may be some lighting in the Library that's salvageable . We will handle all of that and go
through the buildmg as much as we can, he said .
Council Member Grazulis noted that, at one time, there were some plans to mo\'C some of the plants and
landscapmg to this area. Mr . Kahm stated that they have moved what Parks and Recreation recommended.
early on . What we propose right now is to save the bigger trees with the demolmon, because we don 't
know what the redevelopment is really going to look like . Hopefully, be said, those can be saved and we
will just have to sec how the site plan works out.

Capital Projects Manager Kahin said there was one other thing he would like to mention . When we met
and talked about this project last. he said, at a Stud y Session . l indicated that l thought the net value of thi s
ground was probably about $600.000 .00. If you will not.e in this Council Communication, he said , l ha \'e
gone back and looked at the one point one acres nonh of the Parkwa y. Al so. when the appraisal wa s done
on the old City Hall site, the appraiser had actuall y taken o ut th e cost, not of the environmental cleanup, but
of the demolition . So the actual net. he said. after demo linon and cleanup will still be reall y close to a
million dollars . Council Member Wolosyn said that 1s \\hat she had m her head. so that makes much more
sense to her.

Council Member Garren asked about the City's costs, as there will be cleanup costs and other costs. He
said he would like for the City to at least recover the City's cost and consider a reduced fee . as opposed to a
wa1vmg of the fee and sening some kind of precedent for that . Council Member Grazulis said sure .
Assistant Ctty Manager Flaherty advised that the fee is built into the room charge . but 1t is not the total
amount of the room charge. I will ask Public Works to estimate that fee for us. if Council so desires. he
said, and we can bill that back to David Taylor Dance Theatre, if you so choose.
Council Member Wolosyn said she would like to know what the fees are , first. Because if it is SS00 .00,
she said, then I think maybe we would want to show suppon by splitting that or something .
Assistant City Manager Flaherty advised that it really depends on the event . Just guessing, he said. 1 would
say it is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of eight to ten man hours. which should put us in the
range of$200.00 to $250.00 .
Council Member Garren stated that one possibility 1s that Council has a meeting on September ~lh and
perhaps they can get some hard figures or at least a fairl y good estimate .
Council Member Grazulis said that so un ds good . I Mthdraw that, she sa id .
(ii) Council Member Wolosyn advised that on Thursd a y night of last week she
attended the Rage and Resolution performance and opening which MOA sponsored . I don't know if
anyone is familiar with that program, she said, but MOA pa y hi gh sc hool age srudents to come and work
on the issue of rage and resolution . Over the co urse of five or 1x weeks the y put o n a performance or an
an show . We always talk about how we can engage that seg ment of yo uth, she said. the fifteen. sixteen and
seventeen year olds, when it is not cool to be engaged in anything done by an mstirution . I thought this was
a great example of a successful endeavor, she said, and the woman that was rurming it told me that quite a
few oflhe srudents were from Englewood proper. Ms. Wolosyn said this program seems to be an example
of something they are doing for our co rrununit y and our children .

Council Member Grazulis advised that this last Thursday night she and Council Member Bradshaw
anended the dinner at the Malley Center and it was quite delightful. They really appreciated our presence ,

Subject Pet Ordinances
This is NOT a "pet-haters " vs . "pet-lovers" issue . We are pet owners and enjoy animals . But Englewood
is no longer a rural area , and it is completely overrun with dogs . You cannot ever try to enjoy any pub li c
outdoor area (park , bike trail , hiking trail) without hav in g to contend with numerous dogs and the ir waste ,
barking and aggressive behavior. Far too many owners have not property trained the ir dogs and have NO
consideration whatsoever for the rights of others . Much more stringent controls should be adopted .

Dear Englewood City Council,

AUG l ZUOl
I would like to express my opinion about the City"s consideration of a new leash law .
Dogs enjoy and need exercise. and many dogs get far too little . The backyards of
Englewood are usually much too small to provide a young dog with the room it needs to
run. The parks are the only place we have to exercise and socialize our dogs. We all
strive to provide our dogs with enough stimulation to ensure a happy. healthy life .
Unfonunately, a leash law will not deter the problem dogs that are the real threat to the
safety of our citizens. A dangerous dog off the leash is just as illegal under current laws
as it would be under a new leash law.
Rather than enact new laws. penalizing those who have their dogs under control. we
should consider levying stiffer penalties against those who don·t.
Strictly enforced leash laws will not only take the fun out of a traditional and innocent
activity, but will also nnn many of us into lawbreakers. We care more about our dog's
recreational needs than we do about our legal standing. and we will be forced into playing
hide-and-seek games with the authorities. This will do nothing but create animosity
between a police force (which bas much more imponant issues to deal with) and a
community that will not be deterred .

suggested general recommendations in that regard , but not requirements .
3 . She did not want a leash law, but prefers the use of voice control.

Subject Re: Public Hearing September 4 , 2001
To Council Members. I am unable to attend this meeting , but
I would like for you to know my option on animals issues .
1) I do think that 4 is a good number of dogs for anyone to
have . We have many older people living in our city and th is
is the ir children . their love, and company.
2)This one is out of the question, you are going to go in
homes to see what bowl people are using for water, the
shelter . Does the code lady have nothing else to do or does
Englewood have more money than they know what to do w ith .
3 )I have lived in Englewood for 40 years and I always
thought there was a leash law. This is important but hard
to enforce , it should be a law.
4)As I said before 40 years , so I do remember when Englewood
tried this before, guess what it didn 't work than and it
will not work now. This j ust makes crimals out of normally
honest people .

Englewood City Council
Re: Proposed Ordinance requiring dogs to be leashed when taken for a walk--
YES, YES, YES!!!
Englewood's present "under voice control" ordinance is a farce. As a dog
trainer, I can attest that probably 1% of Englewood's dogs have been accorded the
training required to respond to verbal commands. Cases in point:
#1. My husband, my granddaughter and myself have been the victims of,
conservatively speaking, 10 dog anacks while on Englewood city streets with our
leashed dog. Many of these involved a dumbfounded dog owner yelling their
unleashed dogs name repeatedly, to IlQ avail , while our leashed dog was being
anacked. Complaints to animal control resulted in our being told to carry a club or
stick to assault the anacking dog on the nose. It is amazin~ the number of residents I
have seen carrying sticks, clubs, etc. Lets eliminate them and have an on-leash-
while-walking ordinance.
One step further we would like the council to consider, is following Littleton's
example. In some areas, dogs on leashes are limited to a 6' leash--more than
adequate. The retractable leash many owners use, we can attest, merely allows the
dog to accost other dogs and humans as the leash is rapidly feeding out and the
owner is unable to attain iDl' control of the animal, even though it is leashed. We
know suggesting this is a "shot in the dark", but hopefully might be considered.
Trainers/dog exhibitors all use 6' leashes and they are more than adequate, while
providing control, should an incident occur.
Thank you for making Englewood streets a more enjoyable place to walk , and
enjoy by considering these suggestions and opinions .
Sincerely,
Dwight and Jan Fitzgerald

Sub 1ect Comment on Council Bills No . 36 and 37

3063 So . Fox St.
Englewood , CO 80 110
To : Mayor Burns and Eng lewood C ity Counc il
Re : Council Bill s No . 36 and 37 , pertain ing to Dogs and Cats
Dear Mayor Burns and C ity Council Members :
I am unable to attend the pub li c hearing on September 4th , and so I wis h i o
subm it this document as wr itten testimony pertaining to Coun cil Bill s No 36
and 37 .
In my previous experiences . I have come to know and trust th at th e Englewood
C ity Council 1s extremely respons ive to c itizen input, and I appreciate th at
fact. On this matter, however, I fear th at the overwhe lm ing maionty of th e
citizen input on the issue of an imal control has been on the side of stricter
control. If that is the case , I would suggest that part of the reason is . in
fact . fear -n ot for themselves , but for their an imals . I would expect that
few peop le , 1f anyone , will come to argue in favor of increasing the limi t on
the number of dogs and cats , because those who are over the li m it liv e with
the fear of being required to choose between their an imals, and have adopted
the strategy of not attracting attention to themselves . Even in the case
where a person is not over the li mit, there is the fear of pet poison in gs -
so easy to do . hard to find the respons ible party, and so horrific 1n
emotiona l impact that a pet owner is li kel y to hesitate to j ump into thi s
debate. Because I fear they will be serious ly underrepresented , I feel 1t 1s
important to try to speak on the side of the devoted pet owne r .
The main po ints I wish to make are-
-The li mit to two dogs and two cats per household or premises crimi na li zes
people who do not need to be cr im inalized . Two negative consequences are
that people who are in violation of this ordinance are often afra id to
contact C ity Hall on any matter for fear (rightly or wrongly) of drawing
attention to themse lves , and people with extra dogs may hide them in the ir
homes . wh ich tends to resu lt in undersocialized and undereducated dogs .
The "Dogs at Large definition" 1s poorly worded , and does not account for

many situations in wh ich dogs are under total control. The language appears
to restrict or prohibit many types of dog training , activities . works hops ,
events , and demonstrations . Wh il e intended to re in in the irrespons ible pet
owner, these ordinances also take a im at those who are seriously involved in
dog activities .
Bill No . 37 , amending the number of animals allowed in one household to be
four animals in any combination of dogs and cats .
I urge council to adopt this bill.
I believe the most common situation addressed by this bill is the household
with more than two dogs . I can think of many situations where responsible
and law abiding citizens of Englewood might find themselves with three dogs -
eg
-Not aware of the restriction at the time the extra dog was acqu ired . ( I
know ignorance of the law is not excuse, but in this case you've already got
the dog, the dog is part of the family , what are you going to do ? Generall y,
not get rid of the dog , legal or not.)
-Tak ing in a dog from a relative or friend who is no longer able to care for
the dog. and the dog is too old to be considered adoptable. I recently found
myself in th is situation . If I had not taken in my mother's geriat ri c poodle
mix , she would have kept the dog herself, even though she was no longer able
to properly care for her.
-A person has become actively involved in dog activ it ies . such as ag ili ty ,
herding, or flyball , but has had to ret ire their active dog due to age ,
disability , or illness . As someone who participates in th e sport of Ag il ity ,
I know there are many people who devote a great deal of time , energy. and
passion to the sport . If for some reason they have to ret ire a dog , the
choice between removing the dog from the household and ceasing participation
in the sport can be an impossible one .
-One of the dogs in the household 1s geriatric (and no bothe r to an yone but
the owner) and the other would benefit from an active compan ion .
In all of these cases , the person is very likely to acquire and keep the
third dog in spite of the restriction , but also to live in fear of "getting
caug ht".
Bill No. 36 , concerning Dogs at Large . Vaccinations . Cruelty, and "Polluting
Vegetation"
I support the recognition of the 3 year rab ies vaccine . and th e add it ions to
the section on Cruelty. I be li eve the section on "Dogs at La rge" has serious
shortcom ings .
Dogs at Large
A str ict reading of this section leads me to be li eve it eve n restri cts such
activities as dog boarding , train ing , or daycare . Take for example the
situation of dog training. The dogs are supervised and contained at all
times . but they are off the premises of their owners . and often not on a
leash being held by a person . The ord inance reads : "It shall be unlawful for
any owner or person having the care , custody and control to allow such dog to
run at large in the C ity.· In this case , the person with "care , custody and
control is the handler who is present along with the dog . What is the
defin ition of "Dogs at Large"? The amended ordinance would read : "For the
purpose of this Section , a dog shall be deemed to be running at large when
off or away from the prem ises of the owner, possessor or keeper thereof and
not on a leash held by a person able to control the dog ." I have
partic ipated in many types of dog train ing which are necessarily conducted
off leash . These include herding, flyball , and agility . In every situation,
.

10 :37 :15 AM
the training was conducted off of my own premises , but since I was present
and handling my dog, the actual owner of the prem ises cou ld not be construed
to be the "possessor or keeper· of my dog . These activit ies are very
pos itive -they result in better behaved dogs that are better integrated into
human society, and better understand ing by the general publ ic of what dogs
are capable of. Even though th e language 1s stand ard and would never be
enforced in th is way , I be li eve the word ing 1s fau lty .
Another example of activities which wou ld appear to be proh ib ited are
organized competitions or events, such as the annual Dog Fr isbee
championships held annually on th e lawn at Arapahoe Community College .
I also believe that individual dog training in public places is a good th ing .
I occasionally will take a few portable obstacles to Cushing Park to train
my Agility dog . While we are training, she is totally focused on the task at
hand . and she has my full attention . One of the biggest keys to training,
and to hav ing well adjusted dogs , is exposin g them to many different
environments and training in those environments . I believe th at penalizing
people for pursuing serious training is a bad thing , and unnecessary for
(actually counter to) accomplishing the goal of keeping dogs under control.
I would suggest the following alternate wording for th e defin ition of "Dogs
at large·:
"A dog shall be deemed to be running at large when off or away from th e
prem ises of the owner , possessor, or keeper thereof and not restrain ed eith er
by a leash ; confined in a car , crate , dog run . or other suitab le enclosure;
or under direct voice and sight control. The dog owner/handler may be
required to demonstrate voice and sight control. Voice and sight control
means : -Dog comes promptly when called and allows the owner/handler to take hold of
the collar
-Dog is not allowed to chase wildlife , and can be called off
-Dog is not allowed to go up to another person without perm iss ion
-Dog will s it , down or stay at a distance
-Dog is within sight of and attentive to th e owner/handler at all ti mes"
I am not able to attend the Publ ic Hearin g in person because I will be
teaching a Dog Obed ience class on that night . As a volunteer instructor at
the Dumb Friends League . l have contact on a weekly bas is with numerous
people who are willing to devote tremendous time and energy to raising a well
adjusted and well behaved dog . As a volunteer for the DFL Behavior Hotline ,
I know that people wi ll go to extraordinary lengths to re so lv e behavior
problems . I also know that behavior problems can not be resolved unless a
person is allowed to train , and that effective train ing includes work ing with
the dog off the premises of th e owne r .
In conclus ion . I urge that Council adopt Bill No . 37 , and th at 8 111 No. 36
not be adopted with the current word ing of Secti on 2 conce rni ng Dogs at
Large . Thank you for your cons ideration .
S incerely ,

Major Bums and Members of City Council
Lin Tiffany, Englewood Citizen
Dear City Council Members:
HU P.DDZ/ODZ F-047
I am writing to express my opinion regarding limiting the number of dogs in
the city of Englewood that will be discussed at the Tuesday, September 4,
200 l City Council meeting .
First and foremost .... ! AM A ANIMAL LOVER!!
Second ... .! have been a citizen of Englewood for over 25 years and have
owned Dalmatian dogs that entire time. As you know this breed has been
exploited over the years due to the Walt Disney movies and their unique
look. My dogs are all rescue dogs, ones that have been on their way to
shelters, rescued from shelters or rescued through the Dalmatian Rescue
league. Had I not rescued these animals , they more than likely would have
been destroyed. I am also an active and supportive partner with Dalmatian
Rescue League.
But beyond dw I am a responsible Englewood citizen . My yard is
extremely well kept and clean. I never let my dogs run off leash. I walk
them almost every day (even though they have a large back yard) and I
never walk them without carrying a plastic bag , which I use to retrieve any
'accidents '. If we go out a night we arc always home by curfew just in case
one of the dop would bark. I do the above items out of respect for my
neighbors and respect for the city.
I should.!!! be limited to caring for my dogs and having/owning future
rescue doss because certain citizens do not maintain the same level of care
for their community. The issue at band is irresponsible dog owners, not the
number of dogs per owner. This initiative addresses the symptom not the
underlying problem.
PUNISH the abusers not the true lovers and caretakers of
animals.

Englewood City Council
I 000 Englewood Parkway
Englewood. CO 80 I IO
Dear Englewood City Council,
-
.EC
AU G 1 ZU01
I would like to express my opinion about the City's consideration of a new leash law.
Dogs enjoy and need exercise. and many dogs get far too little. The backyards of
Englewood are usually much too small to provide a young dog with the room it needs 10
run . The parks are the only place we have to exercise and socialize our dogs. We all
strive to provide our dogs with enough stimulation to ensure a happy. healthy life.
Unfortunately, a leash law will not deter the problem dogs that are the real threat to the
safety of our citiuns. A dangerous dog off the leash is just as illegal under current laws
as it would be under a new leash law.
Rather than enact new laws, penalizing those who have their dogs under control , we
should consider levying stiffer penalties against those who don't.
Strictly enforced leash laws will not only take the fun out of a traditional and innocent
activity, but will also turn many ofus into lawbreakers. We care more about our dog's
recreational needs than we do about our legal standing, and we will be forced into playing
hide-and-seek games with the authorities. This will do nothing but create animosity
between a police force (which has much more important issues to deal with) and a
community that will not be deterred.

COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Approval of the Infiltration/Inflow (1/1) Sewer System Study Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The recommended action is approval by motion of the 1/1 Sewer System Study Proje c t ior the wastewater
collection system tributary to the Littleton/Englewood WWTP with Camp, Dresser and M cKee In c. in th e
amount of $99,529.00
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
A comprehensi ve study of the entire wastewa ter collection system that conveys wastewater to the
Littleton/Englewood WWTP needs to be completed for regulatory, planning, and evaluation purposes . The
was te water service area encompasses an area of approximately 75 square miles. lniiltrat ion and inflow is
extraneous water that en ters the sewer piping system and manholes, utilizes pipe capacity, and must be
pumped and treated at the L/E WWTP. This study will eva luate the amount of 1/1 occurring withi n the
system and make recommendations for future work including additional monitoring and or rehabilitati o n
work if excessive 1/1 is identified within the collection system basins . Federal regulations are anticipated to
be promulgated by the U .S. EPA to further regulate and require permitting of wastewater co llection
sys tems . This study will serve as one of the components required to eva luate and do c ument the condition
of the wastewater collecti o n system .
A request for proposals was sent o ut in Jun e to qualified co nsulting firms to conduct this study . Four
proposals were received and re iewed b the proposal review team . The proposal review team was
comprised of utility staff from both the City of Englewood and Littleton. The proposal re view team short-
listed two firms for in terviews, Camp, Dresser and M cKee, Inc. and ADS Environmental. Based o n the
proposals and subsequent information presented at th e in terviews, the review team recommends Camp,
Dresser and McKee for the project .
A draft contract with Camp, Dresser & McKee is attached and the 1/1 Stud (first phas e) will cos t 599,529 .
Initial mapping and sys tem eva luation will be fo ll owed by flow monitoring beginning in lat e 200 1/ea rl
2002 and continuing for several months. Future phases of work may be required bas ed o n th e initial studv
results .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of the first phase of the 1/1 Study project is $99,529 .00 , is a ca pital cos t. and vi ii be split 50/50
with the City of Littleton . Funds to begin the project are included in the 2001 budget.

FURTHER DESCRIPTION OF ENGINEERING SERVICES Al"ID RELATED MATT[RS
1l1is is an exhibit anached to and made a pan of the Agreement dated September 5. 200 I . betwe~n C 11 y of
Englewood (OWNER) and Camp Dresser & McKee Inc . (ENGINEE R) for study and repon professio nal se rvi ces .
I . The Basic Services of E, GrNEER as described in Anicle 2 of said Agreement are amended and supplemented
as follows:
I.I General
111c OWNER provides wastewater treannent services fo r the Ciues of Lmleton and Engl e wood plus 19 conne ctin g
Service Districts located in the southern Denver metropolitan area . The OWNER intends to conduct an
infiltration/inflow (1/1) study to characterize "excessive" extraneous flow s that may enter the collection system
tributary to its Linleton/Englewood Wastewater Treannent Plant(Li EWWTP). The Project scope of work will be
accomplished in six tasks as described in Paragraph 1.2 below and generall y includes data re v iew , preparati on of
collection system based map. wastewater flow monitoring, data anal yses. preparation o f drati and final repons. and
coordination meetings with OWNER. Two workshops with the OWJ\'.ER are planned. The first will be held at the
beginning of the Project to clarify Project objectives, communications protocols. dis u ss o w:-.:ER 's sys tem
ex perience/issues reiative to 1/1 , obtain existing information and data . and dis c uss prehmmary !l ow meterin g
locations . The second workshop will be held at the conclusio n of the da ta anal yses task to re v iew results and
prelimmary recommendations for any subsequent flow metering an d/or syste m evaluations.
1.2 ENGINEER shall complete the following Project task s:
Task I -Collect/Review Information
ENGINEER will collect and review available wastewater flow and quality data, projec t rela ted repons ompl e ted
for OWNER. U.S . Envirorunental Protection Agency draft Sanitary Sewer Overflow regulation s. co ll ect1on system
mapp ing , collection system physical characteristics , and hydrologic/ climatological data as II may penam to I I
conditions . Flow metering data available from sen·ice districts will also be obtained 10 more spe cifi call y
characterize wastewater hydraulic characteristics and 1/1 as well as aid in selection of appropriate flow meterin g
locauons within the system.
Task 2 -Compile Service Area Mapping
Existing hard copy and digital mapping files ( where available) from Littleton , Englewood, and Service Distnc ts .
will be collected and compiled for entry mto a digital database using ArcView software . A,•a1lable mappmg from
Arapah oe, Jefferson and Douglas Counties and other sources (such as Urban Drainage. and DRCOG) will be
queried fo r ava1lab1hty and appropriateness . Sources of topography used by member ent11ies wtll be reviewed to

de1em1me quality and availability. It 1s assumed that the most comprehensive topography available will be from th e
SGS raster file database. Topography from 7.5 -minute quadrangles or bener (if available ) will be used and
combined into a digital coverage or layer system as appropnate. Where collecnon sys tem mapping 1s no t available.
Service District point of connection 10 the sewer system tributary to the O\VNER's wastewater treatment plant will
be idenufied. Collection system subbasin delineauon (acreage served ) and subbas m populauon will be ummanzed
for the purpose of comparing 1/1 characterisucs with the service area .
Task 3 -'.\1onitor Sewer System Flows
ENGINEER will identify up 10 eight(S) now monitoring manhole locauons and review with 0 \V-:--ER at Workshop
I. U pon O\VNER's approval. ENGINEER will mstall and continuously monnor "aste\\ater n ows up 10 si x
months to characterize dry weather and wet weather now conditions. Wet weather momtonng will capture at least
three significant precipnation e\"ents . '.\1eters will be installed. mamtamed. and remo\"ed by E:S:Gr.-:EER ·s
personnel during the durauon of the metering period . If, after meter installauon . sys tem hydraulic andtor physical
features adversely impact now monitoring results . ENGINEER will 1denufy an alternate m onnormg s ite and
reinstall the flow monitoring equipment.
Meters will be self contained, battery-powered units capable of direct area \"eloc1ty conversion 10 direct flow
(American Sigma 950 area-velocity data logging flow meters). If it 1s not po ss ible to install submerged probe-type
meters. an ultrasonic level probe will be utilized to measure depth of flow . E'.\'Gl);EER will obtain ph ys ical system
measurements(pipeline inven elevations. pipeline size and materials) to facilitate n o w computanons from le,·el
probe data. ENGINEER will handle all confined space entry and air monitormg associated with installauo n and
removal of meters . Effons will be made to locate monitoring sites outside. of traffi c areas to mmirrnze confli cts .
Field personnel will visit each meter every other week to download data. chec k me1er calibration. change out
batteries, and clean the submerged probe. Field personnel will have one backup meter on hand in the e\"ent that a
replacement meter is required. ENGINEER will review ex1sung ram gauge locauons and install up to rwo
additional rain gauges to log rain data during flow monitoring penods .
Task 4 -Analyze Data
Collection system attributes, such as subbasin delineation and acreage. and population data will be tabulated.
Resident and employment population data available from OWNER. Service Distncts and/or from the Denver
Regional Council of Governments will be used to estunate c urrent subbasin popularion. This information will
enable analysis of 1/1 on the basis of gallons per capita per day(gpcd) and gallons per acre per day(gpad). In
addition . wastewater flow and strength data available from OWNER will be used to characterize wet weather and
dry weather conditions tributary to the UEWWTP. Wmter water consumption data from OWNER will be used 10
compare estimated base wastewater flow derived from populanon data and to estimate wastewater di scharged from
major industrial accounts .
ENGINEER will analyze flow data including:
• Decompose wastewater flow data into base flow , groundwater infiltration (GWI), and Rainfall dependent
l/l(RDl/1) components. based on the data collected.
• Us e available unit flow factors (e.g .. gpcd for residential. gallons per employee per day for commercial and
winter water consumption data for industrial users) to prepare estimates of expected sanitary sewer flows based
estimates of current population and employment by tributary subbasin .

• Develop ROI /I hydrographs for each monitored basm using a uml hydrograph approach that 1s ca librated to
actual flow monitoring data from the srudy area . The unit hydrograph technique will then be used to predict
ROI/I hydrographs for up to two events.
• Present flow data analysis results in terms of the relative contnbut1ons of I I from monttored subbasi ns for use in
setting priorities for 1/1 correction program.
Subbasm flow data, physical fearures , tributary population . and hydrograph decompos111on results will be tabulat ed
and summarized for both dry weather and wet weather co ndition s and presented to OWNER at Workshop 2 .
ENGINEER will make recommendations for fiinher flow monitoring srud1e s as may be nece ssary to identify and
locate 1/1 sources . Also at Workshop 2, ENGINEER will describe proposed approach to determine 1f any identified
1/1 is "excessive" and describe a process for setting rehabilitation prioritte s.
Task 5 -Prepare Repons
Five(5) copies of the draft 1/1 repon will be submitted to OWNER for review . ENGINEER will meet with O \VNER
10 discuss review comments and prepare ten( I 0) copies of the final repon. ENGINEER will also prese nt srudy
findings and recommendations to OWNER management and provide a copy of presentation graphi cs to OWNE R
staff. The reports will include collection system map. summary of data analyses and recommendations for funher
system evaluations if necessary.
It 1s not anticipated that sufficiently detailed information will be obtained during this st ud y to 1dent1fy specific 1,1
so urces and associated rehabilitation methods and costs. ENGlNEER will summanze sewer rehabililatto n methods
and associated range of costs based on ENGlNEER's experience. E"1GINEER will review OWNER's esumates of
lreatrnent and conveyance costs for the hydraulic component of wastewater flow. Using E"1GINEER's experienc e.
generalized estimates for 1/1 reduction and associated rehabilitation costs in subbasins of concern will be prepared.
This will allow OWNER staff to make informed decisions regarding proceeding with more detailed subbasin
investigations .
The repon will also present regulatory considerations associated with the most current status of the SSO re gulati ons .
Strategies for coordination of compliance with the SSO regulations-for planning, operation. monitoring , and
documentation with Service Districts will be discussed . Also. 1/1 values derived from this srud y will be compared to
criteria used by DRCOG for Wastewater Utility Plan preparation.
Upon acceptance of the final repon by OWNER, ENGINEER will furnish OWNER a bound set ofcalculat1ons
associated with the data analyses and preparauon of the repon.
Task 6 -Coordination and Meetings
ENGINEER will panicipate in up to four coordination meetings with OWNER and/or C DPHE . DRCOG . and
Service Districts . The purpose of these coordination meetings is to supplement the two workshops as ma y be
neces sary to review progress, discuss issues. and resolve problems . Meeting and workshop discussions will be
summarized in meeting minutes and forwarded to OWNER eleclronically via E-mail.
2. The responsibilities of OWNER as described in Anicle 4 of said Agreement are amended and supplemented as
follows :
2.1 Provide traffic control where may be necessary to facilitate mstallation. removal and penodic monitoring
of wastewater flow metering equipment

To all,
I'm wondering if anyone can point me to recommended word i ng for a leash law .
The City of Englewood is in the process of rev ising its leash laws . The
leash law currently conta i ns a clause which allows dogs to be off leash
"unless such dog is under the reasonable control of such owner or person ".
Sadly (in my opinion), they intend to delete that clause . My major concern
is that what they propose to replace it with reads as follows (Title 7 ,
Chapter lA of the Englewood Municipal Code 2000):
"A . Dogs at large -It shall be unlawful for any owner or person hav i ng the
care , custody , and control of any dog to allow such dog to run at large i n
the City . For the purpose of this section, a dog shall be deemed to be
running at large when off or away from the premises of the owner, posse ssor
or keepe r thereof and not on a leash held by a person able to control the
dog ."
There do not appear to be any exceptions to this defin it ion of "Dogs at
large". At the very least, it seems to me that such a law would have to make
an exception for enclosed private property with the perm iss ion of the owner,
and allow for publicly sanctioned events on public property .
As it is worded, it appears to me that the following are proh ibited :
-Dogs off leash in the backyard of a friend, with owners present and
superv ising
-Dogs off leash, even if crated, anywhere except on owners property
-Dogs in cars, even if using doggie restraint systems or crated, unless
the owner (probably the driver) is actually hanging onto the leash
-Doggie daycare facilities, unless they hire enough employees to hold
onto, and untangle, all of those leashes
-Dog or cat boarding fac ilities, unless they hire enough employees to hold
onto , and untangle, all of those leashes, 24 hours a day
-Veterinary treatment, unless someone is holding onto a leash
-Any type of dog demonstration, competition, or training that requires
dogs to be offleash, even when held indoors on private property
