APPROVE THI. MINUTI.S or THI. RI.GUI.All Ml.I.TING or APRIL 6, 19911.
Ayes: Council Members Nabbolz, Gamtt. Bradshaw, Habenicht,
Waggoner, Clapp, Bums
Nays: None
1bc motion carried.
(a) Sludenls and IIIMIOII from the Sheridan A VS Building Trades program discussed a
"' -
project they are undcr1aking in Englewood. SIC\'C Kindmdlcr, the Compn:bcnsivc Building Trades
IDSlnlCIOr for the Arca Vocalioaal School and Anpahoe Community College, encourapd Council's
a>ntinucd support or Project eun.o . As an inllndor in the building trades, Mr. Kindsfalhcr said he tries
to ICC what students can do with their hands. Everyone has a home that needs some kind of repair, or
wants to IIIO\'C into a new home that is built with care and craftsmansbip, he said. We ICC this happening
less and less, he said, but wc would like to sec it happening more and more , and that is why wc encourage
students to go through formal education and lake pride in their wort and then go out and fill the work
force with the skills they have learned lhR>ugh this program. la the pasl, he stated, wc have built a home
in a community, which the students can be proud of and ICC a,mplclcd from start to finish, performing
about ninety percent or the trades tbcmsclves. 1bc only cost is the tool belt, which the students arc issued.
This year, the venture was lakcn on by Englcwoocl and Project BUll.D, he llllviscd, at 777 West Oxford
Avenue. Mr. Kindsfather told Council that he hopes they can attend the open house when it is completed.
He acknowledged that this year's house is a VCIY expensive one and the City has gone aboYc and beyond
in doing land improvements, burying some overhead power lines, installing retaining walls and other
extra improvements that would not normally occur. He cxpreacd his appreciation for Council's suppon
of this project. adding that it is a win-win situation. In closing. he asked again for Council's continued
suppon of Project eun.o and the Arca Vocational School .
Fonesl Davis, Instructor of lndustrial Technology al Sheridan High School, distributed plans to Council
Ill they a,uld ICC what the lludcnts al Sheridan are doing. He said they are examples or house plans that
the group submitted to the City, im:luding one from Gilbert Hoak, who -plaClll this cwoing. Mr.
Davis said he would like ID share whal is going on II Sheridan High School. The Sheridan lndustrial
Technology....,.._. -the lint to c:omc up with pallpOl1S, he llllviscd, which is almoll like having a
dcgrcc in high scbool . The lludcnts are no kln,cr going to receivc just a diploma, but will be able to seek
a PIIIPOl1 along with 1h11 to illdicatc • cmphalis in a puticular area al illlercll. For example. he
aJlllinucd, in illdultrial tecllllology, tllcR are tine -they can III into, apecifically drafting. for civil
engineering. mechanical and architec:tural design. '1l'OOChwoltting, which also aocs into cabindJy wort. and
prc,,cngincering. he said. In explaining bow this rdalcs to the A VS aaocialion with the City, Mr. Davis
stated that he and Mr. Kindsfalhcr are two a/the few teachers whole lilandank rally do not lllalter. The
reason for this is that their students have to meet the City's requirancnts and a>dcs,., it docsn't lllalter
what his standards are, becalllc the students ultimalcly have to meet the framing code, and they have to
meet the st.andanl codes when drawing up the house plans. For the last several years, he said, the
an:hitcctural design students have been designing houses and giving praentations in the spring. They
have to put on a suit and tic and make their pracnlations to a panel and 1ell their design to that city. For
the past two ycan, he llllviscd. ii has been in Littleton and they have received national recognition for
their house construction. Also. for the past two years, Mr. Davis said his advanc:cd students in cabinet,y
have been making cabinets, and this year, the cabinets will be for the house that is being built now . We
have raised our standards, he commented, 111 thelC kids can meet the challenges al what will be cxpcctCd
of them . Not onJy do they know what the challenges are. he aaaerted, but aim they have been living it for
the last nine months. 1bc bottom line, he llid, is that this program is different than any other in the state,
became it is the students who design the houlc plan. the lhldcnts who build the house and the students

who are building the cabinets, so it is student owned. If you don't think there is pride built into that
house, he challenged, you should come and check it out on May 20"' at the open house. Mr. Davis asked
Council to continue with this partnership, which is a win-win situation, because some or these students
may be getting jobs here in Englewood or may even be eslablishing their own businesses here .
Mayor Burns recalled the first A VS hoUllcs thal were ever built, under the auspices or the Housing
Authority, years ago . He said there were two of lhem right next to each other. and they were very well
done. He fdt this has been a very good program ud tbll they should be very proud of themldves for
whal they have aa:omplisllcd. The prognm bas goaen bencr and bencr, with all the student involvcmcnt,
he said, and med for a round of appa.. for the great job they an: doing.
Council Member Nabholz com,_. tbll they toured thal house in March through the Leadership
Englewood class, ud tbll she -very impressed. She added thal she -very saddened IO ICC how
much vandalism had taken place .
Mr. Kindsfather said thal was another aJSI the City has incurred, which he does not feel will be typical.
We have a 1111 picked out and a house designed for next year 's project, he said. The amount the City is
investing in the SIUdents trickles down, where parents see the students come home and start fixing things
around the house, and so the trickle down effect is why we are here, he said. These students are here this
evening because it is a program they have learned from and they believe in .
Council Member Habenicht asked the students to introduc:e themselves. Gilben Hook stated he had been
in the program twice, having participated in his sophomore year and now this year. He said he will work
on the house being built next year, also . Robert Ricardo said that he has been in the architecture class for
two years and in the building trades class for two years . Josh Swindle said this is his second year, having
been enrolled last year as well .
(b) Mayor Bums advised that Arapahoe County Commissioner, and DRCOG Board
Member, Polly Page was originally scheduled IO present the City with the 1998 lnnovational A ward for its
Summer Youth Ouuach Program. Since Ms. Page was busy, Douglas County Commissioner Michael
Cooke was present earlier this evening IO make the presentation, but she could not stay . She will return
on a later date IO make the prelCllllltion.
(c) Representatives from the Department of Administrative Services diSCUSled their award-
winning Career Development Plan and Living Wdl Program . Adminislnlive Services was RIOClltly
honored with the 1998 Human Resoun::es Best Practices Award by the Mountain States Employers
Council . Dirmor Kershisnik said it was a pleasure to be able IO share with Council the two awards that
were R1CCntly R1CCival by the City of Englewood. Annually, for about the last three or four years,
Mountain States has sponsored a Human Resoun::es Best Practices contest. Their goal , he said, is to
solicit, share and rccogniz.e effective human raoun::a projects and programs among their 1,800 members.
Included in the membership are public and private entities of all siz.cs, he advised . Administrative
Services submitted applications for two of its programs, with a summary or the programs . For each
program, the business problem or opponunity was identified, the human resoun::es program created to
address the problem or opportunity was stated. and, lastly, proof of suca:ss was submitted. Mr . Kershisnik
said this included both qualitative and quantitative data in terms of describing how the problem was
solved, how the financial performance of the orpniDlion was impnMld, ud how CUIIOmer scrvia:, both
internal ud external, was increased. The applications we,e judpd by eight human resoura:s
professionals, he continued, who were selected from the membership of the organi7.ation . He said he was
very plcaed to inform Council thal the Living Well Program. which is an integraled Mllne11 program,
took first place in this contest. and the Career Development Plan took IICICOlld place. In addition to the
awards themselves. and the recognition at the Best Practices Conference, held on April 2,.., the City

received $1,500.00 towards the Mountain Stales training and IIClllinars. One of the best forms of
recognition came when the third place winner, from private industry, tbanbd the City for not submitting
three programs, be said. As repraentatiws of the City, AdministralM SelViCles accepted tbe1C awards,
but the real credit goes to our employees, be allowcd, became the only way we can ra1iu IIUCXlCSS is
through their accq,Cance of the programs, and we haw exceptional puticipation in both. He then
introduced Manager ofRi* Caudill, who spoke about the Living Well Program. and Human RClources
Adminilillalor Meadows, who spoke about the Career Development Program.
"'~
Ms. Caudill told Council that Uving Well is a health promotion program for the employees of the City of
Englewood. and it allo integntcl ~ and safdy. One of the -we think our program is so
IUCCCllfill, she said, ii becaulc we look at the big piclure wbell we delign our programs. as oppolOd to
loalwlg at only-piece of the puzzle. We idClllify "--prubleml and oppor1llnities, lbe said, such
as ..-ciag at toci:sm and containing health care and Woncr's Compcnsation CIOlb. We allo wanted
to~ alSraCliw to the fully i_,. market for our PPO and HMO health inlurance programs. By
1992, we bepn fine tuning our illlegraSCd appruadt to bealtb and safety programs. she explained. Living
Well is the umbrdla for all of our programs, and we haw enjoyed high utilimtion by all of our employocs.
Our emplojw an: -more aware of the positive consequences of the healthy and safe lifestyle choices
they make, lbe aid. Ms. Caudill told Council that the bnx:bwe Dira:tnr Kcrshisnik passed out to them
CIOlllaUII the a,rc program for Living Well, which is COIIISaDtly changing to meet current demands. In
llaling the positm raults of the program, Ms . Caudill said that, in the area of abscntocism bctwocn 1992
and 1996, tbcrc bas been a 25% Rduction in sick leave usage for non-Commit To Be Fit participants, and
during that same period of time, tbcrc was a 32% reduction in lick leave for the Commit To Be Fit
participants. Commit To Be Fit is one of the Living Well programs, she explained, and in gcncral, wc
haw found that Commit To Be Fit participants arc averaging approximately 47% lea sick lcsve usage
than thole who arc not in the program . In the area of health insunnce. she contimied, wc have been able
to awid approximately $3,955,000.00. Bctwocn 1989 and 1996, the avcra,c national health care trend
was running al about 16.8%, while the l8IIIC trend for the City of Englewood was 5.48%. By being so far
below the national trends for heallh care aJl3s, we were able to avoid S2.8 million in cxpenlC5, she Slated .
We also bClcamc very attraclive to the fully inmrcd market. she said. and in 1997, we became fully
insured, and were able to -$207,000.00 that )'CIII'. We were allo able to awid $950,000.00 in future

of the City ofEnglewood's web site. The a>st to hire an outside gnphic designer is estimated at $50.00 to
$75.00 an hour, she added. This person also designed the logo and brochures for the Living Well
Program. she said. Citing another example, Ms. Meadows said that, through team cooperation, employees
in the SIJ\lCts Division of the Public Worts Department doubled the output of asphalt from 450 tons to
over 900 tons. These employees received a discretionary reward for the accomplishment of this team goal .
Prior to the Career Development Pay Plan, she said, the City or Englewood's compensation system, like
most organiz.ations, resembled a traditional step prograsion pay plan. Under this four step progression
pay plan, employees hired in at the A step or the 15% pay line. Each step progression, based upon
satisfactory performance and worth a 5% pay incrale, she advised, occurred in integrals of six months
with maximum a>mpelllllioa adained within ID II-month period. This rapid attainment of the
maximum a,mpenlllion levd, she continued, made it difficult for the City to n:tain talented employees
and difficult to motivate the employees who stayed beyond a period of eighteen months. Ms. Meadows
explained that, in 1919, the City of Englewood began ~ng its current culture and mission. One
area given focus was the City's existing oompensation plan . The City of Englewood's Administrative
ServiClCS staff enlisted the efforts of its benefits and compensation teams in the design of a pay plan to
address the areas the existing pay plan failed to address, she said. The new pay plan, known as the Career
Developmentf'ay Plan, has created opportunities for employees to excel . This plan provides rewards and
incentives to employees for value-added advanced knowledge. skills, abilities, individual and team goals
and objectives, she said, as well as personal and professional accomplishments, and duties, tasks and
responsibilities above the normal scope of the position. Employees may also be rewarded for contributions
made to the improvement of City operations and ICl"Vices. Cuslomi7.eel to the department, division and
employee, the Career Development Pay Plan rq,laces the original I 5% pay line with a 40% pay line. The
new pay line is divided into three components, she advised, including base categories of excellence,
higher-level categories or excellence and discretionary cafeteria style rewards and incentives. Base
categories or excellcnce, extracted from the position description rq,rcsent the minimum qualifications and
requirements of the position. Ms. Meadows llaled that higher level categories of excellence include
difficult knowledge, skills, abilities, goals and stn:tch objectives that go beyond the base categories of
excellence. These on-going areas may require ID employee to go outside his or her comfort zone in such
areas as education. creativity and innovation, expanded job duties, increased responsibilities and cross
training, she said. Discretionary cafeteria style rewards and incentives may be either monetary or non-
monewy, she staled, and are baled upon outsaanding achicvcmcnts, accomplishments, and changes or
impnwementS 1h11 positndy impact City operations or ICl"Vices . Base and higher-level categories of
excellence me assigned pen:entagcs based upon difficulty, frequency and importance. An cmploycc 's pay
is adjuslcd if he or she pins a new calcgoly of excellence or IOles ID existing one, she explained.
Employees are compenllled acmnling to their own self-initiative in adaining and maslering the
CIICgorics or excellence. As a rault or the Career Dcvclopmcnt Pay Plan, the City of Englewood has
cxpa icnccd dccralcd tumover, increwd product.ivity and morale, cfficicncy in operations and services,
intcrdeputmcntal cooperation, and the diaolution of a traditional longevity-based compensation plan.
Ms. Meadows llaled further that, by utilizing the special skills and talents of employees through the
Career Development Pay Plan, the City has IICICII a return on its investment. For example, a steel barrier
fence at the City's golf course would have COIi the City $500.000.00. As a result of its design concept, the
Public Worts Department was able to reduce this a>st to Sll0,000.00. Also, two employees in the
Municipal Court are awarded higher leYd categories of excellcncc for their Spanish language skills. The
a>st to hire interpn:tcn ranges from S2S .OO to $50.00 per hour. For employees, the benefits of the Career
Development Pay Plan are visible through can:,cr advanccmcnt, job enrichment and cnhancemcnt, a sense
of cmpowenncnt, and the opportunity for financial rewards and incentives, she asserted. Positive
feedback, she said, serves u testimony to the succcss of the Career Development Pay Plan. Employees
have shared such comments as Mthe best thing about the plan is it gives City employees the incentive to
learn more, croa train, and work harder because you arc rcwanlcd." and Mcverybocly wortcd together,
consulted with management. and looked at what would benefit employees and the City at the same time ."
A third comment that Ms . Meadows quoted wu "the old plan would keep good employees, but after

reaching the top level they 're out of here . I would be out of here too ifit weren 't for this plan." For the
City of Englewood, she said, implementing the Career Development Pay Plan required extensive research
to clctcrminc if, and how, a non-traditional pay plan would fit the organiution 's culture, as well as strong
commitment and buy-in from the entire organiz.ation, a well laid foundation, an effective method of
communicating the concept of the non-traditional pay plan to City employees, an investment of time to
train employees in the mechanics of the plan, and a willingness to take a risk . This risk for the City of
Englewood has resulted in a more skilled. knowledgeable and bct1cr educated work force .
Mayor Bums thanked cvcryooc for their pracntations and <Xlllgnlu1atcd them for RIOCiving the awards.
Thcllc are really quite an achic\Gncnt. he said, and we should be very proud of the Administrative
Services Department.

(a) Mart K1-, Prcsidcnl of the Orchard Place Resident Council, reassured Council that.
"' -
since the changes occurmt at Orchard Place, things have gone extmncly well and people are starting to
talk to each .a.er . .J-lc rcmiaded Council that IOIIIC people came to the last meeting who were unhappy
about benches in the lobby. He pointed out that the number of signablla on the document he had just
passed out to them indic::alcs that the Vlllt majority is pleased with the benches. They arc also pleased with
Cheryl St . Clair, Jo Hamit and Linda Conway-Oblc, who arc doing an cxcellcat job and listening to the
people in the building. Last year, he said, we fought tooth, nail and claw Uying to get things done, and we
got it done through the help of some of the people here. He thanked Council for finding one heck of a
good director.
(b) Susan Van Dyke, 3390 South Emerson Stn,ct, told Council that she would like to
provide her personal viewpoint on the iSIUC of the surcharge with Wasac Management. She said that.
although she is an employee of the oompany, she is not reprcscnting them this evening in an official
capacity, but rather as a citiz.cn and a proponent of the City of Englewood. Over the last ten or so years,
the City has developed a good panncrship with Wasac Manqemcnt. she opined, and in some ways it was
long in coming. She said it did her bean good to bear Council ay tonight that they arc going to look at
ways to try to mend the rift bclween WW M• ............. and the City . Council Member Bradshaw
mentioned thal, apparently, ill 198S, wc palled the transfer tax, she said, ru:alling that the rcuon for the
tax was thal die City was in dire need of cxtr1 -· The caffcn were down, the reserve fund was
being depicted, and they were difficult years for the CllliR llalC. Ms. Van Dyke said she lgRlcd with the
tax and .-r1ed that it was an approprialc tax. Siacc times have been good, that transfer tax has
incrcucd the revenues to the City, with the 11111 QOUIII at lboul S240,000.00 that CIIDC in 11111 year because
of this surcharge. It may IICICIII like I deep well to -Council members, she cautioned. but it has been
coming in for thir1Ccn years and she qUCllioncd whcdler any of it has been redircclcd bed: to Union
Avenue for any of the inf'rastructure clown there. lfit hasn 't. perhaps that is something to look al, she
suggcslcd. because this must amount to a prcny good _. of revenue _. thil1eal years . Also, in
reference to the future of that area, business and iaidcnlial, Ms . Van Dyke said she hopes wc come away
with new ways to address the concerns of both entities and, also, look at other busincas on Union
Avenue . There are quite a few other~ there, she said, that impact thole !Olds II well , and they
should be considered in that quotient along with WW Managcmcnt. She said her final ob1crvation about
the surcharge was that, 11 oppoml to jusa randomly raising it. perhaps Council might look at a percentage
of what they are paying per yard at Waste Management on what Waste Managcmcot is charging
customers. As the customer charges increase, perhaps that is an opportunity to increase the surcharge, if
Council feels it is appropriate. 1bat way it stays <:OIISillent with the percentage of the whole picture. On
behalf of Waste Managcmcot. she said, they are a good company ; they have provided a lot of donations in
kind and cash over the last eight years, at lcut, if DO( longer . Actually, they came up with the money that
started the Clean, Gn:en and Proud organization and it would not exist today if Waste Management did

not provide that donation at its inception, she asserted. Just in the Good Neighbor Days alone, they have
given the City clOIC to $100,000.00 in donations and support, she llid, adding that she could not think of
another axnpany in the City that has Sleppcd forward and done that. It is a donation, she added, not
cxpcctalions. She allowed that she was disappoinled when the J)faidcnt of the company withdrew the
funding for the Good Neighbor Days. The timing was inappropriate, she opined. and it was unfortunate
that he felt he needed to do that. He obviously fdt that the motion Council passed rqarding truck traffic
was harmful to Waste Management, she said, adding that she is not privy to that information as he docs
not contact her. As a matter of fact, she llid, she used to be the community relalions per-. at Waste
Management, but they removed her from that position in January when he took O\'U. She said she was
truly appearing on her own merit. It has been a woodcrful partnership over the years and a model for
things that can continue with businesses, she llid, and asked for Council's~ 1C111C and open
mindcdncla to do the best they can in this silllation and try to rctricvc some of partncnhips they havc
dcYclopcd over the years.
(c) Carolyn Fulton, 49SS S. Lipan Drive, told Council that she and Mr. Vcluqucz wm:
present this evening to make Council aware ofa house at 1211 West Chenango Avenue. II is five houses
from where Ille lives and Mr. Vc181qucz lives next door, she said. and it,was sold to Dcvclopmcntal
Pathways in NcM:mbcr. She said the 1.oaing Division told her that it was fcdcral and Slate money and it
was supposed to be for training of bandic:apped people, so the City did not have any jurisdiction over it.
She said she then called Dcvclopmcntal Pathways, and they thought she was an intcrcstcd customer. She
asked if the people living there could be violent and was told that they could be and that they could have a
criminal record . They told ber they rcfcmd two handicapped people, who would be taught to go out on
their own when there is no one else to take care of them. Ms. Fulton said she was told they mighl have
cerebral palsy or autism, and sometimes they become violent. She said she then spoke with Council
Member Garrett and he bad the police check out the rcsidcncc and they also spoke with Mr. Velasquez.
She said she would like Mr. Velasquez to tdl Council what kind of a person lives in that house, adding
that, as neighbors, they do not like what they sec. She said they arc monitoring it and they want Council
to be aware of what is happening there.
(d) David Vcluqucz, 1201 West Chenango Avenue, told Council that he lives right next
door to the Dcvclopmcnta1 Pathways hoUlc . When he mow,11 there, there -mostly retired people and
it was real friclldly . He said lie Im five chilclrm in his bomc, two of whom arc four and five years old.
He said he -told that, wbiic he was at ~ one rlthe COUllldors came out and bis wife WClll over to
gnlCt him. The OOUIIIClor very IIJollgly told bis wife that his kids should not play by the front tree and
sbould Ila)' out of bis yard becaUle the residcnl could become violcnl. Mr. Vc181qucz said he feels like bis
family is not safe in their own home . He said he docs 11111 bclic\'C anyone who lives in a iaidcntial area

City Attorney Brotzman stated that this is an on-going investigation, and they have been notified that they
arc not allowed to have a halfway house in this n:sidcnce. As soon as the officers finish their
investigation, they will be getting back with the raidents and Council will also receive a report, he said.
Mayor Bums said we will await the results of the investigation, and thanked Ms. Fulton and Mr.
Velasquez for coming.
Ms. Fulton asked why somcdling cannot be done on the basis that they told her it was supposed to be for
rehabilitation and that is not what is happening in this house. Mayor Bums said the on-going
investigation will be rmewing thole types of things.
(a) A proc:lamation declaring the week of April 19-2S, 1998 as Always Buckle Children in

(a) COUNCIL MEMBER WAGGONER MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO
OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING TO GATHER CITIZEN INPUT REGARDING A PROPOSED BILL
FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING LANDSCAPING STANDARDS.
Ayes: Cowlcil Members Nabholz, Garrett.. Bradshaw, Habenicht,
Wagoner, Clapp, Bums
Nays : None
The motion carried and the Public Hearing opened.
All teltimony -given under Ollh .
Neighborhood and EIIVinlnaal Tocllnician Lanp IOld Council that the macr before them involved
revisions to the Muaicipal Code . SIie IUbmined l'lool al Publicalion for this Public Hearing, which
appeared in the EagleMJod Hcnlcl on March 6 , 1991. She made-FftCla) poinls rqarding the
landlc:ape onlillanc:e finl. ltaling that the onlillanc:e -written for the 111¥)rity al CllleS, with the
recognition that unique situalions do exitl in the City. The ordinance does not regulale dc:lign, and that
means it does not rqulale lillCb things as 101C1 versus~ and it does not Rqllire everyone to
immediately go out and illllall new landscaping. It would be required only when applicability
Rqlliranents arc activated. What the ordinance does is regulate the quantity, the how much and the
spacing of planting, she said, and it regulates the quality of the plants, the siz.c, and provides planting
standards and maintenance requirements. It also regulates where the landscaping will be, so that it brings
the landscaping forward to where it is more visible and will crate a paler impact, while llill being fair
and equitable to people, she said. The buic intent of the ordinance, she advised, is to enhance
Englewood's aesdlcdc: appcaranc:e, stabillx the environment's ccological balance, pn,vide administrative
clarity, Cllablish quality and quantity standards, and provide equitable means to meet thole Slandards .
Reviewing the pnxas, Ms. Langon IIWed that the revisions were brought forward at the request of the •· •

Planning and :zoning Commission, who's goal was to provide standards of quality and quantity in
anticipation of ~tin the City. To that effort, staff reviewed the cunent ordinance and
identified cleficicocics in the ontinana:, reviewed other landscaping ordinances across the nation and
locally, researched options. ,cnenaal -.I dnfts and 9Cllt them out for review and a,mmcnts, she said,
to City departments. lud9cape prufeaioaals. ~ owners and to the Chamber of Commcra:. Ms .
Lanp pointed out three key uas in the ontiDIIICC. Tbc first was applicability, which she said requires
llllking an adjustment in the criteria of when the llaDdlrds arc ncccaary. There is the potential, with the
-ontiDIIICC, of more propcrtics being affecled, she aitviscd, but the ordinance balances that possible
increlsc by extending credits for existing trees, public rigbt of way and interior putting lot landscaping,
that was not previously aJUDled, but will -be counted tawud the tolal requirement. Tbc buic effect is
the acliVllion mechani1111 would be lower, but the CMrall propcrtics line more options and more
allowances with which to work. Tbc ~ key area is llaDdards, she said. Tbc ordinance lelS minimum
standards and rcquircmcnts. shc advised, specifying the clcwls and providing clarity and direction . The
IUl key area is equity and fai,-, she said. We have to look II Englewood as a built environment. which
has cliffcrcnt characlerillica than an area like Highlands Ranch with ID much open space. To that end,
she said, wc left design to the individual, allowed credits for existing plantings, provided waiver options,
included ri....--ny and putting lot requirements, allemative compliance options, and there is
considcralion for die downlown cnvironmcnt. We also offer a fee in lieu. for those properties that arc
physically unable to tncCl thole llaDdards, she added, and fair and equitable options for unique situations
arc available. The ontinancc also addresses quality of life, she said, and balances the needs of the
community and praclicality of the wban environment. We need landscaping because it provides an
economic benefit for the City by making it more hospitable, she said, and it adds characlcr by crclling
unity, while creating diversity . II offers variety and cnhanccs property valucs, it improves air quality, she
advised, moderates ICmpCnllurc by providing shade, reduces glare and rcOec:tion, reduces noise , and offers
a buffering bcl--. adjacent UICI. I ancbalping is quality of life, and that is what this ordinance brings to
Englewood. she opined. The items clisamed at the Study Session and those suggested revisions arc found
on page two of the Council Communication, she said.
Mayor Bums asked whether Ms. Langon was going to address the three amendments and the two items at
the bottom. or if she was waiting for Council to CIOIIIIIIClll . Ms . Lanp responded that she was waiting
for Council's c:omacnt. Tbc fint three items were Council's clirec:tionl at the Study Session, and thole
were chaqes they wanted made, ad the last two items were clilCUSSion itcms. she said.
Mayor Bums llalcd that no one bad signed up to speak at this llcaring. but he invited intcrcltcd panics to
do ID-· Tbcrc was no l'ClpOllle.
Mayor Buru said die last two ite:ms Oil the~ pa,c were cli....s. Tbc first being thal PUD
lancbalpiag rcquimacnts sbllll be dc:lermincd Oil a cw by cw basis and CCllllidcnbon sbllll be given to

this fint item for CIIIII--' iacluded. Mayor Buras agreed. City Attonicy Brotzman said that the two
clilCUllion ileml uc aclually illcluded . I• die clilCWion II die Study Session, he rocalled, there was a
queslion as to whcthcr Council waDled to lll'Cllglhcn the languqc or not . II was not clear at that point
whether they waDled moclificllion IO that pangnpb. Ms. Habcnic:ht said she would like the paragraph
strcngthcncd.
Mayor Bums asked Ms. Langon to comment on why the provision is drafted the way it was and what the
thougbts of staff were . Ms. Lanp IClpOlldcd that it was to offer flexibility . Since wc don't know from
one PUD to the next whll the land w would specifically be. it WII wriaea that way to offer ftcxibility .

commercial, you would usc the axnmercial requirements as a guideline, she said, and industrial standards
would guide industrial .
Mayor Burns asked if she would object to having that set out in the ordillllllCC. recognizing that it
shouldn't be tied down too much. He said that it seemed to him that, if you set out the standanl sbe just
described, it would provide some guidance for each l.OIIC classification .
Council Member Habenicht said it was her undcr-.anding. also, that wc wanted the clarification that there
would be consideration to when: the PUD was . For illSlall(le. if the PUD was an industrial usc, and would
be going in the middle of a residential area, that that would be taken into CXJIISidcration and those
requirements would be considcn:d as part of what was going to impact that PUD. That was the piece that
she was looking for strength on, she added, so that wc would not be providing a tool to undermine our
zoning. but one to enhance it.
Mayor Burns asked if she was talking about applying a rcsidcntial standard to an industrial zoning
classification. Council Member Bradshaw said yes, that's what she said . Ms. Habenicht said, if it is
going to be n rcsidcntial area, then yes. Mayor Burns said the first decision would be whether you want
to change a residential area to an industrial, and then you apply the appropriate landscaping for wbat~r
you decide the zoning classification is.
Council Member Gam:lt QOIIUIICllted that it seems there arc two iSSUCli. One is that you have a minimum
of landscaping. and, no matter what area it is in, you say that you want a ccnain minimum on a PUD.
That could be 20%, which is slightly above the business and industrial. The other arca, it seems, if you
wanted to Sllcngthcn, is where wc have the issue of zones next to each other. Then, where industrial
meets residential, wc have some extra buffer landscape, and have that as an emphasis, until wc fix the
problem.
Council Member Habenicht thanked Mr. Garrett for his help, adding that that was what she was trying to
say .
Ms. Langon said lhc thought anething ClOUld be worked OUl in that regard.
Mayor Buras aid tbc odicr question is whclhcr tbc lmaDl sbould be responsible for landscape
maintcnaDCe, • well • tbc owacr. He asked whal the staff fccdladt was on thal one . Ms. Langon
rapcllldod tbal. qaia, tlial is a flexibility isluc, when: wc can address both the owner and the person who
lives tbcrc. Mayor Burm ra:alled dull they discusa, if the owner is in another part ol tbc oountry and
not COIMllient. tbcll al ~ tbcrc is -cllc who is l'ClpOllliblc for the landlcapc maiDICllancc.
Council Member Habenicht said it is her undcnlanding that, in most communities, it is jusl the property
owner who is dcsignaled in this type ol ordinance. She asked if she was com:,c( thal it was discussed in
Study Session. Ms. Langon rapcllldod that, in looting II odicr onlinanccs, it is pniblbly half and half.
Ms. Habenicht aid her a,noern is always that, if the rapomibility is shared and it becomes fuzzy,
llOllldimes it is hard to say where the responsibility lies. She opined tlial tbc raponsibility sbould lie with
the property owner and the property , through leasing agrccmcntS and odicr things. can have those
dcsignalions made with their lellanll. Again, she said, the ultimate raponsibility should be with the
property owner, and when wc do that, it provides an opportunity for due procas.
Mayor Bums asked if it could just provide thal the property owner is primarily l'Clp>llliblc, and if he is
not responsive within the time limits wc set on this. then the tenant is raponsiblc . Whal would happen,
he ukcd, if the lcac docs not require tbc tenant to maintain tbc landscaping? City Aaon1cy Brotzman
responded that, in this case, you arc stiU malting the tenant responsible, even if bis lcac docsn 't say so, he

7. Noa-11:lleduled Viliton
(a) Sunny Howland, 2841 South Grant SIRCl , staled she is a fifteen year Colorado rcsideRL
having owned homes in Denver. Highlands Ranch and. for the 1M lhn:e years. in Englewood. She said she
is very proud to be a resident of Englewood and she loves her neighborhood . However. she advised. they
have a real concern in her neighborhood and they would like 10 ask for Council· s help and bring it to
Council's ancntion . It is in the form of derelict vehicles that they can"t seem to get any resolution on . Ms.
Howland commented that she knows that Council Member Nabholz bas brought this to Council's attention .
She asked for Council's help . She requested that the letter from Sandi 0stcma. daled April I. 1998. be
pn:scllled this evening, which Council acknowledged they had receiwd. She ad\iscd that Ms . Ostcma
couJdn 't ancnd this evening, but they arc next door neighbors . Ms . Howland Staled then: is a home across
the street from them that has been an eyesore and a problem . Actually, she said. it bothers her as a
homeowner bo.:ause she believes that the people living then: may DOI be safe to be around. The neighbors
ha,·e called regularly . And the last time she called. and spoke wilh Code EnforcemenL she was told they
wen: very well awan: of the home . Ms . Howland noted she asked them what they wen: going to do , what
they could do about this, and his words to her wen: ... ~well. we come out. he starts the car, moves it around
the block. parts it somewhere else ... then: is nothing we can do." Ms. Howland ad\iscd that she asked. as
neighbors thaa arc concerned about their neighborhood. whal arc they suppose to do . He then asked her if
she had a neighborhood watch . She said tlicy do and she happens to be oo-captain. He then suggested that
she get the neighborhood together and go and talk to this gentleman. Ms. Howland explained that when
she is out working in her yard she can hear this man. his foul language and altitude. She Staled she
personally docs not feel safe to go and talk to him . She poinlcd out that he carries a gun and always has his
gun on him when he is out in his from yard working on his cars. So. Ms. Howland said. they arc really
asking the Council to follow-up and find out whal can be done about this issue.
(b) Marie Copher. 2839 South Grant SIRCl. said that she is very proud to swe to Council
thal all of her contacts with Englewood Police . Englewood Fire. Neighborhood Watch and Council
members . have always been favorable and positive. She opined they need to help Council help them.

which is why they see the representation from their 2800 block on South Grant. Ms . Copher commented
that Ms . Howland addressed the issucs she was going to address. She added that she would like to say in
advance, that anything she says is not a criticism. If there is anyway she can help resolve these issues. she
will volunteer her services also. So. she reiterated, these are not criticisms. Ms. Copher advised that she
spoke to the coordinator of Code Enforcement and she feels they have adeqllllle people to address the issues
in Englewood. One of her concerns might be. she said, that Code Enforcement doesn't have enough power.
She questioned if they have adequate power to enforce these things or if they get adequate cooperation.
Arc there enough rules to give them the power to solve these issues? Ms. Copher commented that she finds
when she calls she gets a recorder . She said she knows sometimes that is ncccssary, but she felt it was easy
enough solved by al least• call back. When she deals with someone. she DOied, she would like to know
who is assigned to that problem or who is following up with that problem. She asked Council if Code
Enforcement bas a one-two-three procedure . Where the repon is taken and on day two or three there is a
follow-up. on day four or five there is another follow-up. She asked if they have this in force now and. if
not, could it be put in place . Ms. Copher Slated she would like a repon back if there is a resolution and if
there is not a resolution ... why there can't be, so she could help, perhaps. do that . At 2844 South Grant it is
indeed an issue and. she added, for Neighborhood Watch it is safety issue ... there is a gentleman that carries
a gun. She advised she will do her pan in finding out why he is still allowed to have a weapon and have it
on his person. He has foul language and, she opined, he is out of control. Ms. Copher stated she also
questions his mental capacity to have a small daughter in the house. 1be exterior of his home is
indescribable, but she did bring pictures. She said she thinks it is a fire code issue also, from , ision inside
the house. In the past he has also bad a problem with cruelty to animals.
Problem two. she said, is 2836 South Sherman, which is the rear of her residence. She advised there are as
many seven to nine derelict vehicles, license plates are, on a regular basis, changed from one vehicle to
another. 1be vehicles often block the allcy. He has an incredible amount of building materials. if indeed
he is in a remodeling process. which he does have a permit. she said she thinks there is a little bener way to
go about storing his stuff. Ms. Copher advised she has nolified the Englewood Police concerning the
blockage of the alleyway with some of these vehicles. She staled she -lillaling to the response on the
police scanner and they were unable to locate the problem. She -ia«ained they bad to be in the "'rong
alley or there -• serious percepcion problem. She COIIIIIICIIICld she doesn't undenUnd thal at all .
Unfortum1ely, she aid, sbc didn 't lllkc the time. dale or the officer's number ... so that will be an issue next
time. if indeed ii happens again.
Ms . Copher stated her other issue is 4097 South Bannock. the living condition of a lady and two small
boys, living in a one bedroom home that sbc also considers a fire hazard. She said she does not believe the
children anend school and she bu addressed this with Englewood Schools and got no response . Indeed.
she noted. they have a packral problem that goes on day and night . Ms . Copher noted that this particular
hundred block seems to have derelict vehicles al all times . She said, if she is awrect, an invalid license.
invalid emission. invalid inswance. is the description of derelict vehicles. then there is reason for towing on
that block. She commented that she thinks these have been reported ICVClal times. She said she would like
to come back to Council some night and hear what has been done on these issues or speak .,.;lh Code
Enforcemenl
Ms. Copher said she would like to end by saying that her primary issue. at 21144 South Grant. is the gun
carrying gentleman and the condition of the home. The schooling ol the children at 4097 South Bannock
and an answer as to whether there is a one-two-three code enforcement situation where they do follow-up.
one-two-three. And if indeed there could be somebody to speak to for an assignment of duties in Code
Enforcement. if they have that ability .
Council Member Bradshaw pointed out that Joyce Parsons is in the audience and she asked Ms. Copher if
she UIO"-S who she is. Ms. Copher said she does. She COIIIIIICIUd that a lot ol these are quesuons and she
kind of got the can before the hone. She explained that what she is Ffling al is. if indeed they need help,
that she thinks we need to help them . Council Member Bradshaw agreed.

Mayor Bums DOied that we have a Code Enforcement Advisory Committee also. that is trying to m~ew all
of these processes at this time.
Ms. Copher stated that if staffing is a problem, let them have more help. If they don't get the backing of
the people they repon to or they are not allowed, for some reason. to follow-up or they can't follow up,
then there is a reason why and let's get them help or understand better why they don't have a one-two-three
policy to follow-up.
Council Member Nabholz staled she also l'CClCived the letter from Sandi Ostema, dated April I . 1998. and
she will give it to the City Clert to put into the record. But this. she noted, has been an on-going problem
for several years and she herself has c:omplainc:d about this. She said that she is also willing to work with
Code Enforcement in whalcver capacity. But, she stated. she thinks we need to get to the bonom of this.
and get some answers and get some l'CIOlulions ... not just putting some air in a tire and driving it around the
bloc:k so it can sit in the same spot for another 72 hours. Ms. Nabholz promised Ms. Copher they would all
work together and get this taken care of.
Ms. Copher said she would like to give her a vote of confidence because she has stood for us as they all do.
as they are all in this room because we are all concerned. But. she commented. they say a picture is worth a
thousand words and Council was very welcome to the pictures she has. Mayor Bums advised thal she
could make them pan of the record if she would like . Ms. Copher said yes and noted they are not labeled.
but she could do that and leave them with Council.
Ms. Copher stated we do have a good city, but she suggested we all work together, not fight amongst each
other.
(c) Lela Fryman, 1429 West Lake Court. stated that she lives in Littleton. but she has two
elderly aunts that live at Orchard Place and she has a couple of conc:cms for them. because she is a
caregiver for them. One of things that troubles her is that they removed the chairs from the lobby and put
in these very hard benches with no backs. She pointed out 1h11 her 1111111 are 12 and IS years old and they
can't sit in those chairs to wait to be picked up and taken to an appoilllmall b is jusl too agonizing for
them. Ms. Fryman staled they did have chairs thal they all WClll togelbcr and bought for that purpose. but
they said they don't want them sining out there. So they took these Ilia: paddal chairs out and put these
benches in. She said she wonden:d if that could be resolved in some way.
Ms. Fryman stated the other concern is the new parking proc,cdun: over there. If you are not a resident you
have to go into the building, get I pa,king permit. bring it back out and put it on your car and then when
you come back. you have to get the permit out of your car and take it back . It is a four-trip thing and. she
said. it SCClll5 like there sboulcl be a bct1Cr way to do thal She said she docsn 't know if that would be a
visitor's parlting lot for eight visitoR \'Chicles. there always seems to be plenty of parking. not counting the
Malley section. Ms. Fryman COIIUIICIIICld that she thought the visitor's thing would work. with the residents
realizing they can't part there . Or, she said. she also wondered. for people who are there like she is. two or
thn::e times a -.-eek. if they could be given permits lo pu1 up on their dashboard whenever they are there so
that its not this in and out. in and out. business. And because she docsn 't want a ticket every time she goes
there . Ms. Fryman advised that today she went there and there was no one in the office to give her a
parking permit. She said she had to park there and she was in there about III hour and fifteen minutes
uying to help her llWll with her Medicare health insurance thing. When she came out there was still
nobody in the office. So, she saressc:d. if they are stiU going to have this parting thing, then they have 10
have somebody on duty at all times .
(d) Millie Butler said she resides at Orchard Place and Ms. Fryman is her niece. She stated
they have quite a problem with those benches, they are 100 unc:omfonablc and they would sure like 10 have
someone resolve this situarion. She noted it is hard for them to sit there. thal they would like to have I few

minutes, once in awhile, to go down and visit with their friends. Bui they would rather they would stay in
their apartments or go in another room. However, she noced. it is not always convenient, as there arc still
people playing cards and things like that and the room is quite full. She said she thinks that is pretty nice,
but they can't all do those things, it's just a small place. So. Ms . Buder said, she would sure appreciate it if
Council could do something about this, put chairs in there and kind of help them a bit more. She reiterated
she would appreciate that very much.
(e) Annette Carter Slated she is a resident at Orchard Place apartments, an Englewood
Housing Alllhority building, and she has lived there for a little over a year. She advised that two and a
quarter years ago she had eight losses, one of them being her vision and she was considered homeless for
awhile. Ms. Carter emphasiz.ed that she was extremely thankful and grateful when the Englewood Housing
Authority came through for her because she had no where to go. So. she reiterated. she is very thankful .
Ms . Carter opined that the Englewood Housing Authority is a great organizalion and they have done a loL
but there arc some problems. The one problem that the other two were talking about with the benches, they
tried 10 make a small improvement One of the concerns was that they were too low. Ms . Carter described
the benches as hardwood, with slats with spaces between them, they arc deep and most of the wall that the
south bench is on is against part of a wall that is out and then the wall is inset. So. it is too far back and
they can 't sit up. She pointed out that a lot of people have back problems. leg problems and for most of the
bench the wall isn '1 even there at the back. One of the concerns was that they were too low, so they made
an attempt and they raised them somehow, pul something on the bottom of them and raised them. Now
their feet dangle as a good ponion of the residents arc fairly shon. She noted she is taller than some of
them even though she is just five two. Now that they arc higher her feet can't touch the ground and it cuts
into above her knee . Ms. Carter opined that it is just not a comfonable chair for any person of any physical
shape. She said she sees their point where they don't want to see people ~gossiping". having a social hour.
spending a lot of time in the lobby. She noted they said that that lobby is for when they arc waiting for
rides to doctor's appointments and waiting to be picked up. If they were in what they now call the library,
with the comfonablc furniture. they can't sec when their ride comes and their ride can ·1 park the car there
and come and gel them without one of those parking passes. So they need 10 be there. Ms. Caner
commented that they went to church Sunday and some were there for almost an hour. as people forgot
about the time change. II was uncomfonable and everyone was in agon)'. So they would like help in
gelling through to Englewood Housing. They made that altcmpt with raising them. but it is still not right
It is excruciating for the people waiting there, so they would like help llith that
Ms . Carter said her other thing was the pa,ting. that Ms . Fryman was talking about. A lot of times that
office window is down and Ms . Fryman is really afraid of getting a ticket. She reiterated the office window
is down and there isn't anyone in there where she can gel her parking pass . Ms . Carter pointed out that Ms.
Fryman has two aunts that she cares for, so it is really a concern. She docsn 'I want 10 gel a ticket while
caring for her aunts.
Ms . Carter Slaled the third thing she has is about the crossing intersection of Broadway and Girard. She
noted thal. as she said. she has been here a lilUc more than a year in this neighborhood and she is a very
good traveler. She said lhal C\'en though her sigh( is gone she is a very good traveler. Before her time. she
said. for some reason somebody had the idea of doing the audible chirp when ii is a pedestrian crossing.
She noted there arc a huge amount of residents that arc hearing impaired. Ms . Carter said that she can hear
the chirp and she counled about two and a half seconds long. It is a llidc intersection and when it is the
pedestrian aoss. she said. there is turning traffic from two directions coming from the King Soopcrs going
cast and then nonh. that would love to run you o,·cr. And going west and then nonh. they would just love
to run you over. Also, she ad\'iscd. people pull up to stop al a light and they stop on the white pedestrian
crossing lines. which is impossible and that is everywhere. Ms. Caner noted ii would be nice if a sign were
put up for this second issue. about them parking on the while lines. There arc signs, she said, like they have
in some places, that say "do not park beyond this line" or "this crosswalk." She Slated she has been told.
regarding the two and a half-second pedestrian crossing. that as long as ii chirps that there is this light that
has this person, the symbol. for pedestrians 10 cross. She maintained ii is only about two and a half

seconds, that that is what it sounds like to her ear. Ms. Carter pointed out tha1 she is able bodied, it is just
her eyes tha1 arc gone: and she is a very fast walker. But, she said, for an able bodied person, able sighted
person, ii is impossible: to sprint across that intc:rscction in that two and a half seconds and you also have
that turning traffic. Whoever had the idea to have: that audible chirp. she said. ,ii,"hich was maybe a good
idea. but it wasn't enough. It is very dangerous. Thc:rc arc a lot of senior and handicapped citizc:ns in that
neighborhood . She reiterated that she is a fast walker. but it is not enough lime. that it is extremely unsafe.
as well as the road itself has a lot of gullies . She: pointed out that Council saw her friend Millie Butler
come: up here: with her walker and there: is no way. She said Ms. Butler now has a sturdier walker and she
can travc:l on more: challenging terrain a little easier than she could before, but thcff is no way someone: like
her or anyone: can get through that intc:rscction with that two and a half second pedc:sU"ian cross. Ms. Carter
acknowledged that Broadway is a busy strc:c:t, but she: felt they should be fair to the pedc:strians as well .
(f) Mary Siena, 3425 South Sherman Strc:c:1, advised that she has lived in Englewood since:
1964, worked at Swedish Hospital for 17 years, she is a member of the: Fraaemal Order of Eagles and has
been a member there: for about 30 years. She said she was the President thrc:c: years. Ms. Sierra
emphasiz.cd that she has nc:vc:r had the problem of watching people suffer the way the senior citizens at
Orchard Place: arc being treated. She said it is old age. that they can't sit on those: benches. Their backs
hun., their legs hun and why. she asked, do they want to kick them out of the lobb~·. Every place has a
lobby . She maintained it is because the secrc:wic:s can 'I concentrate on their work . She asked how many
of Council could sit on those benches for an hour or a half an hour. She said not very many and that she
can't and the senior citizens can't She stated she: has never had any problem before:. she has always helped
people . Ms. Sierra advised that she helped abused children. she had a charity for abused children, for the
Fraaemal Order of Eagles and she helped people when they needed help. Now, she said, she is at a loss.
She has Jost the eyesight of her right eye and she has~;. on the left. She noted tha1 by the time she goes
to the: doctor next month he will probably say 80"/o, she doesn't know, but she can't see very well . Ms.
Sierra Slated that her family is not coming around because of the obligations of Orchard Place. She said
they used to come all the time, thrc:c: children ... two girts and one boy ... and they used to come: all the time:.
alternalC . One girt and two granddaughlen arc coming over. she said. and that is all. The others can ·1 park,
can't leave their car and go in and thal 's what they arc up againsl II Orchard Place. Ms. Sierra stated it is a
disgrace and, she added. she has lived in Engl~-ood since: 1964.
(g) Beverly Cummins. 3188 South Lincoln Strcc:t, said she is talking for herself, Vesta Frank
and all thc:se other ladies. She noted she has been here: before . Ms. Cummins swed they have a problem
over there: and they need Council's help. She said she worts for Arapahoe County Homemakers and they
are trying to keep thc:se people in their ho1nc:s and happy and they are getting defeated by all this other
ga,t,age. She said she goes i .. o Amity. Bradley House. Alison Coun. Simon Center and Orchard Place:.
All but Orchard Place have: lobbies. have nice: chairs. couches ... things like that for their people . They are
not expc:cted to sit on a damed old slab . They are appm:ialed. Ms . Cwnmins said that she docs not think
they arc appreciated over al Orchard Place, all they want to do is get rid of them. But, she said. as far as the
other things. the: other ladies have: pretty much said everything that she was going to say . Except, she asked
Council how would they like for somebody to come in after you finally got some chairs in the lobby and
go into your homes and take away your easy chair or your couch and take it out of your house. This is their
homes, not housing's . She pointed out that they don't live there, thc:se folks do and they had their chairs
pulled out from under them and they put this slab in there for them to sit on and it is not right Ms.
Cununins staled they need Council's help . that they have helped before: and the)• need Council's help again.
Another thing is the parking. she said, and it is absolutely asinine:. Ms. Cummins advised that she has two
hours to go to her people. if that, and she will not go in four times for the permit when they used to get one:
for the whole year. All they had to do was stick it in tlicir back window and park ,ii,·hc:rcver there: was
parking available. She opined thal this is just stupid to think that people arc going to do this. She said they
also thought they could Ila)' in their root111 and have somebody buzz. Ms . Cummins ISkcd how many bus
driven. taxi drivers. different people like that, arc going to take time to run in and buzz ror these people to
come from the sixth or seventh lloor. until they can get down for them . She maintained 1h11 is ridiculous

and everybody knows that they don't have that much time and neither do they as homcmakcn have that
much time to goof around with some foolish thing like this. She said she didn't even know anything about
it, so she is glad to know about il But she is stiU not going to do it, because she docs not have time to mess
around like tbal. She stated she is there to take care of those people, not play around with the housing
committee, with their permits and aU that garbage. She said that is not what they arc here for and their lives
are too sbon to be messed around with like this. They need the respect and compassion from everybody.
Ms. Cummins opined that if the folks al housing can't give them the compassion. then they are in the
wrongjob.
(h) Joyce Parsons, Code Enforcement Field Supervisor, said she wanted to address the issue
of the Grant Street address for a few minutes. Yes, she advised, they are aware of that problem house and
I.any Medina has been dealing with them for awhile. The cars that are pauted on the street are legal,
licensed and operable, she said. She acknowledged Ibey look derelict and the one in his driveway looks
derelict, but they are liccnrcd and they are operable. Therefore, she staled, when he parks on the street. and
he docs have five cars, that we do not have an ordinance that tdls people how many cars they can have or
can't have. Ms. Parsons noted he did have one of them that has had Oat tires and he has been ticketed for
that. Regarding the appcarancc oC the house, she acknowledged it is partially painted and it is brilliant, but
we don't have design guidelines and we can't tell people what color they can paint their house. there is
little we can do about that. She noted he docs have a problem with his yard and keeping up the appearance
of the yud and using the front yud for saoragc . He has been given notices on that. she advised. and he
dido 't comply in the period oC time. we posted the house for clean-up and he has five days to do that.
otherwise he will get a swnmons to court for the WISightly house. As far as it being a fire !ward. she said,
we can't determine that. because we can 't go inside and make a housing inspection unless we a.re invited in.
She commented that she docsn 't think tbcsc people will invite us in. Regarding the matter of him canying
a gun. she acknowledged he does, that he is supposedly a security officer and we understand that he
shouldn't be canying a gun. pointing it al anybody or thrcalcning anyone when he is not on duty. But
again, she said. thal is a police mailer and we have informed the neighbors to call the police department
when thal is happening, because it is not really a code cnforcc..-i issue.
Ms. p._ advilcd tlul the house on Sherman Street has four derelict vehicles. they have eight all
togedler and they have been gi\'Cll a summoas to court for their derelict vehicles. We can't al this time tow
vehicles off or private propeny without the owner's permission. she said. Those that a.re on the st.rcet. that
are derelict, arc ticketed, she advised, and can be towed if they are not moved within the 72 hours. So, she
said. they have worked on that. She pointed out. regarding the housing inspections. health and sanitation,
that we cannot do that and normally the building department does that first. unless we a.re invited in. Ms.
Panons advilcd that they do work with Building to do tllOIC inspections when they are asked. She said she
was glad to get the pictures, but that they do have those pictun:s and she was sure they will be in better
touch with the neighbors. She agrem thal it doesn't appear they arc being .resolved. but there are problems
that arc SWc laws tlul we cannot resolve. We have not been able to tcU people how many cars they can
have. she advilcd. and, if it is a public 5lrcCl. we can't tcU them they can't pa,k on it. We do tell them. she
said. thal -can consider it abudoDcd if it isn' 1 driven or used every 72 hours. She said she would be
willing to -any other qualions Council might have .
Mayor Bums noted that the Code Enforcement Task Force should address some of these i55UCS and come
back to Council with some more information. He commenled thal it just scems like your hands a.re kind of
tied. that there is a situalion there that has been going on for a long time and his question is why can't we
do something about this.
And. Council Member Bradshaw asked. wh)' docs it have to get to the point that it is so horrible before
something is done. She noted that is a flUlllation she also ICICI. as a resident or the City. •· •

Ms . Parsons said that this house is also a renlal propeny and they arc in the process of getting in touch with
the propcny owner. The tenant is telling us that he is buying it. but the County rccords don't show that. If
he goes to a,urt, she advised. the propcny owner will be taken into oowt with him and he will be cited too.
Council Member Bradshaw asked if Ms. Parsons thinks lhcrc is an inherent danger lo the citizens in that
block with this gcntlcman ... or if that is an Wlfair question lhal she shouldn't have asked her right now and
that is okay. Ms. Parsons said she doesn't think lhcrc is a real danger to the citizens. because none of them
will talk to him and it is just as well because he is very angry. She a>mmcnted that she doesn't know ifhe
is mentally incompetent. but she knows that he holds down a job everyday. Ms . Parsons said she knows
there arc two brothers and their family that live in the house and they have lived lhcrc for years. They
haven '1 been unreasonable with her or code enforcement She Slated she has been out there herself, but she
would imagine he could be and he should not be carrying the gun around in his civilian clothes, unless he is
going to and from work. Then, Council Member Bradshaw said, that is the matter that the residents should
call the police ... when they sec that . Ms. Parsons said that is right
Ms. Parsons Slated that she heard about the animal cruelty after the fact, that we don ' 1 have anything in our
records that we were called when there was an animal cruelty problem and we would have handled it at lhal
point
Council Member Bradshaw asked if this propeny is one of the wom in Englewood. Ms. Parsons said no.
Ms. Bradshaw thanked her for her efforts. . ....
Council Member Bradshaw Slated that she is a,nccrncd about the amount of a,mplaints from the Housing
Authority propcny that the Council is hearing. She said she really thinks lhal needs 10 be addressed . Ms .
Bradshaw asked if these residents have talked 10 the a,uncil al their building o, the Housing Alllhority
staff. She a>mmcnled she really thinks that is a critical matter that needs 10 be addressed.
Mayor Burns agreed. He said that he can't rcally speak 10 this very much. because he is on the Housing
Authority Board and he has been advised by the City Anomey that he is conflicted. and anyone on Council
would be, al this point. He asked if there was an,·onc from the Housing Alllbority prcsciu. As Jo Hamit.

(ii) Mayor Bums noted tliat Agenda Item 10 (b) (ii) is the West Union Avenue truck
route designation and he is in favor of the council bill . But.. he said, he would like to clarify what it means
to have a truck route eliminaaed and wliat that means as far as future traffic is concerned. He asked if there
was anyone present from Public Works. Cily Manager Scars advised that Engineering Manager Rick
Kahm and Division Chief Tom Vandcrmcc were prcsenl He commented thal Tom Vandcrmec might want
to talk about enforcement actions .
Mayor Bwns asked Engineering Manager Kalun to talk a little bit about what it means to designate a truck
route and then remove it. He questioned what that actually means as far as future traffic and future truck
traffic is concerned. Mr. Kahm explained tliat under existing ordinances the Traffic Engineer actually has
the authorily to designate truck routes . That is where the authority lies . In this particular instance, he said.
there was a n,quest by Council to remove a truck route dcsigllllion on Union Avenue, between Federal and
Clay StJUt . From a technical. professional standpoint, the Traffic Engineer did not agree with that., he
advised, and thal is why we are passing an ordinance to thal affect. The ordinance that is before Council
this evening, for second reading. simply removes that truck route designation from that ponion of the
roadway . As written. the ordinance still leaves the Traffic Engineer with the discretion of determining

what kind of truck restriction will be placed on that roadway. And. be pointed out, there arc a lot of
choices. That section could be restricted and signed as "no trucks." lbat restriction would prohibit any
truck from passing through that section of roadway, including pick-up trucks. There arc other designations,
be said. We could put a designation of"no trucks over 7,000 poWlds empty weight" Mr. Kahm noted that
is one we kind of favor, in that it would allow pick-up trucks. but would take all larger vehicles off that
section of roadway .
In response to Council Member Bradshaw, Mr. Kalun confinned thal the 7,000 pounds was empty weight.
Ms . Bradshaw asked bow big that truck would be . Mr. Kahm advised we have talked to a number of
nwnifacturas and mid-siz.cd pick-up trucks will weigh in the upper 3,000 pound range . Full size pick-ups
will run anywhere from 4,000 poWlds for a half ton pick-up to in the 5,000 pound range for a'!. ton. to in
excess of 6 ,000 pounds for a one ton pick-up. And that, Council Member Bradshaw said. is empty weight.
Mr. Kalun said yes. thal is empty weight. So, be commented. when they sec a large pick-up truck. typically
ones that have dual tires on them. those arc large one ton and those would typically have a tare weight up in
the 6,30016,400 pound range . Mr. Kahm staled that 7,000 poWlds is a cut~ffthat restricts pick-ups versus
larger vehicles .
Council Member Bradshaw asked if tbal is easier to enforce . Mr. Kahm advised that they think so . He said
he met with the City Manager Scars and Safety Services Director Olson last week . Enforcement is an
issue, in tbal wc don't have scalcs . He pointed out thal if wc stan talking wcigN. and can't easily
distinguish wbal tbal means in icrnw of types of vehicles. enforcement could be a real problem . But from
an enforcement Slandpoint it would be real simple for the police. if it is a pick-up truck. it is probably
legal. and if it is larger than a pick-up Ind. it is probabl y suspcc:t and should be pulled over.
Mayor Bums asked if the rqillnlioll sa-, wllat die cmpcy wcipt of a truck is . Mr . Kahm said he
believes it docs. altbougll lie Ila a pick~ INdt ad lie loobd • bis toaipl 111d be wu unable to
dctcnninc what the number -oa dicrc He __. lie lhouglll II Slld bis truck weighs 4 ,000 pounds.
Council Member Bradshaw IUICld dial lien dclC:a ·, lur\lC II on lhcre
Mayor Bums collUIICIIICld 11111 dlcR --._ MIO •bc:dlcr dial would make it much easier to

But, Mr. Kalun advised. in lalklllC III Sale!) Scniccs. dial ~-pc of, eluclc would be the easiest thing 10

So. Council Member Nabholz ad. 11 would be type Ulllcad of ,.e1gh1 . Mr. Kahm Slalcd thal the 7,000

Council Member Habenicht asked what lund of lnleks ,.'Ollld be ,.1shy-wuhy in terms of trying to decide
wbcthcr they arc 7,000 pounds or not Mr Kahm saad thal deli,·el)• type trucks. box type vans might be
marginal . For instance. be explaancd, the Oty 111CS a loc of si ngle axle dump trucks and those have a we
weight of about 13,000 pounds . So. he noted, there is a pretty good range of vehicles.
Council Member Bradshaw asked what. a Suburban would weigh. Mr. Kahm advised 1h11 a Suburban
probably doesn 't have a truck plate on it. Ms . Bradshaw said they were: just wondering what a Subwban
would weigh . Mr. Kahm said be would bet thal a Suburban weighs over 6,000 pounds, :is it is a large
vehicle . But it would probabl y be under 7,000.
City Manager Scars noted that Di vision Chief Vandcrmcc might want to talk aboul bow they arc planning
10 proceed with enforcement.

Council Member Habenicht noted they have seen a number of pictures of the ttucks and she asked how
many of those trucks would be disallowed. The majority of them, Mr. Kalun advised. He noted he thought
Waste Management had given Council a number of pictures of the vehicles they had weighed and most of
those vehicles would probably be too heavy . Mayor Bums commented that a lot of those were 14,000,
15,000, 16,000, 18,000. These are the trucks, as he understands it. of other customers of Waste
Management. They aren't their trucks. but they come to their transfer facility over there. Mr. Kahm said
that is correct.
Mayor Bums asked what kind of enforcement problem are we going to have, as be noted a lot of the
pictures they saw were of huge trucks, eighteen wheelers, big dump trucks, obviously very heavy trucks.
some of those were son of in«tween. He said Waste Management can ask them not to come that
direction, but as they Slated, they can 't control that Mayor Bums asked what kind of enforcement problem
we have if thal kind of a truck is not allowed . Mr . Kahm stated he was not sure it was a major problem .
He noted he sent, in Council's packet., a little area map, which designates bow they believe they have to
sign that area in order to control trucks . Mr. Kalun advised that if they look to the cast side of that. near
Santa Fe, they will notice a couple of X's. The signs they are rea>mmending there are informational signs
that inform truckers coming in that the truck route will end at Clay street. When they get to Clay Street,
there is a sign that tells them the truck route ends. He noted there would also be a weight limit on that, that
would tell them no trucks exceeding, lets say, 7,000 pounds empty. On the Federal side of it. there would
be a sign right as you tum onto Union, that would tell them no trucks over 7.000 pounds. So , he said, he is
not sure enforcement is a problem.
Mr. Kahm Slated that the biggCSI problem, he sees. is that we are going to trap some people. He pointed
out. it would be a small number. but if you were in a tractor/trailer rig, a semi or a large trailer, and you
turned off of Santa Fe onto Union, there are no other public roads to tum onto to tum around. So once you
get in there. unless your point of destination was in fact one of those businesses. you are probably going to
have to go straigbl through to Federal . By the same token. he said, someone who is southbound on Federal
in the left tum lane. if they don 't see that sign in lime. that once they make that tum there is no place to go
but straight through . So. he noted. there will be a little bit of that . Mayor Bums asked if that was through
10 Santa Fe. Mr. Kahm said through the restricted area. that there is no way 10 tum around.
Division CbiefVandermee advised that might be one issue. in terms of the enforcement. For vehicles
traveling WCSI bound from Santa Fe. the signs are going to be easily identified once they are on the
roadway and they are going to be able 10 make adjustments to avoid being in violation. Except. he noted,
in the case like Mr. Kalun pointed out. large units that don 't have a way of turning around. He said he did
not believe the problem exists with vehicles that are using that as a straight through cut-<1fr. So he thought
that problem was going 10 be minimized . The reasonableness of the enforcement. or the concern he has in
that rega,d. comes from vehicles that enter Union east bound from Federal. Without some kind of advance
warning sign, if they have made the tum and entered into that no truck zone. ,~· have no avenue of
escape . So if you stop them. and assuming the y are in violation, and an officer conducts a traffic stop, in
his opinion the driver has a valid concern in saying "hey . I got in here and I can ·1 get out. I can '1 be
airlifted, if 1 go down and tum around. the point I would be turning around at. I would be outside the no
drive zone ." So, he advised . Ihm: are some reasonableness issues there as far as the enforcement He
stated that cenainly from their point of view, in terms of selecting which vehicles are in violation and
which are not. that anything larger than a pick -up truck is easy enough for them to identify . If you get into
weights. then it is kind of up in the air for tliem to conduct a traffic stop, as they have 10 have probable
cause thal a violation bas existed. Not a coin toss that it could have existed. Division Chief Vandermee
maintained that it has got to be. in terms of enforcement . some clear direction, or some clear definition. of
what is and whal is not iUegal . Mayor Bums commented that it sounds like he thinks they can handle it.
Council Member Waggoner commented that wlien tliey stancd addn:ssing the problem with the concme
trucks and the weights on the stn:ets. they put a third wheel in bad, thal they could drop and change the
number of ax les on the truck . He asked whal tlley arc going 10 do when they have an emPfY pick-up truck

that weighs less than lhe 7,000 pounds. or whalcver, and he is pulling a big. huge IJlliler . Mr. Kabm
advised, as traffic staff bas looked at Ibis, thal Ibey see trailers as being a problem. He thought Ibey could
tum around and add lhe net weight of lhe IJlliler to lhe truck, if you wanted to get iechnical. But. he opined,
thal is going to be a hard one to control .
Council Member Bradshaw said that she had a question for lhe City Attorney. She asked where Ibey would
put a limit in lhe c:ouncil bill . City Attorney Brotzman advised Ibey could put one in if Ibey want to, but
tbat right now Ibey don 'I haw to. There are actually two SlepS, he said. One is once you undesignatc it as
a truck route. lbe Traffic Engjnoer has said tbat he will sign lhis. So he will post signs that say no trucks,
unless Ibey pc him a weight. Mr. Brotzman noted tbat lhe Traffic Engineer previously came to Council
and said be would really lille Council's input into lhe weight on that Tbe Traffic Engineer, right now, bas
lbe power to sip it saying no trucks OYCr whalever weight.
So. Council Member Bradshaw asked, when would lhe weight of lbe IIUCks be decided. Council Member
Garrett said Ibey could make a recommendalion. City Allomey Brotzman advised Council could make a
recommendation tonight to lhe Traffic Engineer.
Council Member Bradshaw llwlked Mr. Kabm for his work on Ibis .
Mayor Burns said he didn '1 think Ibey should put lhal in the ordinance, thal Ibey should make a
recommendation and he can change that if ii is nol working, as he has some flexibility.
Engineering Manager Kabm added that. in lhe map he gave Council, Ibey suggested that on Tanforan.
Layton. Sanloga, Olmango and where Decatur comes out on Federal, that Ibey would just put no truck
signs up lbere. Mr. Kalun advised that he and Traffic Engineering Analyst Ladd Vosay. discussed this at
lenglh today. And they determined that ifwe are going 10 go with a 7,000 pound restriction, which permits
pick-ups, that we should probably use the same designation on lhose Sll'eets as well. as opposed to no
trucks. Council Member Bradshaw said yes. that makes sense .
Mayor Burns said he W1ders1ands lhal the Traffic C-bas exceptions for things such as moving vans. for
these folks. and the trucks that would pick up their own garbage and Ibale kind of things, which are
services to those people in that neighborhood. Mr. Kalun said lhal is right. lhere is nothing in the ordinance
tbat prohibits cleliveries, pick-ups, a lawn service. from coming to a point of destination. He staled ii is lbe
through traffic that would be breaking the law .

(i) Council Member Nabholz said that she just has a couple of questions on this.
She advised that she met with Wayne Oakley and Dell Montgomery last year. along with Denver City
Council Member Bill Himmelmann. who borders our City. And. she said. the concern that was discussed
between the two departments was ifwc do Tejon. Yale or parts of Broadway, that affect Denver, that wc
don't just do the Englewood side. That wc make Dcn\'cr aware that wc arc getting ready lo do our
resurfacing and that wc work on this as a joint effort. So. she said. she just wanted to make sure that if we
arc doing anything close 10 the Denver border. that we make sure that wc coordinate with them and let
them know.
Mayor Burns asked if that is what we do anyway. Council Member Nabholz said no, that wc never have
before and that's been the big issue. Mr. Ka1un advised that wc have tried in the past. there has been an
effort. Ms. Nabholz said that she thinks wc have opened up negotiations now, so just so we continue them.
Engineering Manager Ka1un advised that the only street that has ajoinl boundaly, that he secs on there. is
Zuni south of Dartmouth. He stated that involves Sheridan and wc will be talking to Sheridan. as we would
like to do the full width of street. but wc will work something ouL
Council Member Gam:tt asked. after they do this. approximately how long ii will be before they redo that
street. Mr. Kalun advised ii varies. But. he noted. for the most pan wc swted using this panicular product
in 1987 and he w.u noticing that this year wc arc doing some additional worit down on Fox Street that was
in the 1987 program. He commented that ii looks like wc arc going to get ten yean out of residential
streets. We have used this microsurfacing on Broadway, carrying 45 ,000 cars a day and wc got about five
yean out of it. Typically, he said. about eight 10 ten years.
Council Member Garrell noted thal Quincy was done last year, on son of the eastern side of Quincy, and
there is a little strip that is proposed. And. he said. one of the dcpanments has now dug up one of the
streets and wc have this really bad patch job. He pointed oul that ii seems silly 10 pul this down last year.
only to tear ii up again this year. Mr. Garren said that at a function he wu •tending, he asked Mr. Eslcrly
about this panicular project. He stated Mr. Eslcrly told him that we don 't keep up with ... Ii.kc what SIU
Fonda's group is doing. So he clidn ·1 even know what was going on on thM particular SUCCI . Council
Member Garrett commented that ii bothered him that there is no coordination between the two dcpanmcnu .

Mr. Kahm asked Council Member Garrett who had suggested they don't keep up with Stu Fonda's group.
Mr. Garrett advised it was Chuck Esterly, because he asked him why Quincy was being dug up and he said
he had no idea. Mr. Kahm said no, that actually, every year as they put together this type of program or an
overlay program, they coordinate with Utilities, as to where they a,c going to do water line replacements
and those type of things. They also coordinate, and. this time of year, send, this list of streets 10 Public
Service. U.S . West and anyone that might have a need to cover streets, to try to minimize that But, he
noted. it happens. Council Member Gam:u said that was fine . He commented that he understands they
can't predict ten years out, but it seemed like they could for six months. But typically, Mr. Kahm advised.
on an annual basis, they try to get folks to do undcrgrounding work ahead of our programs.
Mayor Bums said he thought that was a good point, that there is a real need. obviously. for a lot of
coordination between Utilities and Public Works.
Mr. Kahm agreed and noted thal it is real frustrating l.o us 10 go out and overlay a street or put
microsurfacing down and have somebody like Public Service come in and cul it the next day . But they do
it from time to time. Council Member Bradshaw commented that they have done a bcner job.

(a) Approval of Ordinances on First Reading
(i) Neighborhood and Enviroruncnt Technician Langon presented a
recommendation from the Department of Neighborhood and Business ~opment to adopt a bill for an
ordinance approving Industrial 2.oning Amendment She stated lhll lhesc a,c proposed amendments to the
industrial wne district of the Municipal Code. thal result from Council 's request that Neighborhood and
Business Development review two specific land use issues in the industrial zone . Ms. Langon advised they
arc: requesting that Council set a public hearing on this issue for May 4. 1998. She asked that Council
consider the inclusion of section 9 on page 33 . Thal is for the existing uses and. she noted. it covers those
uses not addressed as conditional uses . making existing uses. non-conforming uses . Ms . Langon explained
thal section 9 is a clause that would cover any existing uses . that there a,c some a,cas where there a,c uses
that would be conditional uses and other areas where they arc not conditional uses . So this clause would be
for an y uses thaa arc: not covered Wider conditional. they would be allowed to remain as no~nfonning
uses .
Council Member Waggoner asked iftha& is Wllil they sell . Ms . Langon advised that is correct. for non-

Council Member Bradshaw asked about what happens. when it is sold. Ms. Langon stated that if it changes
hands then the use can remain, the use itself terminates in 180 days. Council Member Waggoner asked if
that is the drop time, 180 days. Ms . Langon said that is correct.
Council Member Bradshaw stated that this seems excessively liberal to her. Ms. Langon asked what
ponions. Ms. Bradshaw said she thinks it is just this problem she has with industrial 1.00ing. She
acknowledged it is probably just a personal percept.ion problem, but it is 1998. we arc an urban area. we arc
not a suburban area anymore. some of the uses that were permitted in a suburban area. she docsn' t think arc
acocpcablc in an wtlan environment She opined that the case with Union points that out. Ms. Langon
noted that this is something they discussed last week at the Study Session, that for these two particular uses,
this is just a shon~crm fix . So, Ms. Bradshaw said. this is like a band-aid. Ms. Langon said they could use
that tcnn .
Council Member Garren asked if this is being fixed in the Comprdlcnsive Zoning re-write. Ms. Langon
advised we will be addressing the entire ordinance and there are a number of uses that could probably be
eliminated. She noted she had to look up what bone black was ... things like that. She said there arc a
number of other inconsistencies in the ordinance, so it will probably be a long range project .
Council Member Bradshaw asked how long we arc looking at, long range. Ms . Langon commented that
Mr. Simpson always tells her to never give a timeframc. She staled they are going lo be looking at it this
year as far as she knows. But as 10 completion. she said, she docs not know. So. Ms. Bradshaw said. it will
probably be the firsl of next year, something like that. Ms. Langon said probably.
Council Member Habenicht said she docsn 't so much have a question, as a point of discussion. She stated
ii was her undcrslanding that this whole moratorium was to address the issue of industrial zoning
tlvoughout And. she noted. she would guess she was a little disappointed that it hasn't been
comprehensive. She said it was her undcrslanding that there was going to be more of a comprehensive
approach to this. So in one way. she noted. she was gratified that it wai: going 10 get tighter, but at the same
time she was disappointed that it seems to do so little .
Council Member Bradshaw asked if they would be better off just 10 extend the moraorium. City Attorney
Brotzman said no. thal they arc probably at the limits legally. as they have continued it twice already .
So. Council Member Bradshaw said. wc put this band-aid on for awhile until wc rcally look at it She
stated she doesn't like that
Council Member Nabholz noted that ii was her understanding. last week at Snady Session when they
diKuual il lhal it will lake time to get what we want in place. into our industrial zones. Ms. Nabbolz
SIMCld sbc was aware that this was noc exactly what they wanted. but ii is what we need to carry us through
in the ialerim pan. Thal Neighborhood and Business Development would be looking at Slricter limitations
on this. She said her Wldcnlanding. for lack of a heller term. is that it is a band-aid for the moment. Ms.
Nabholz opined that wc need this.
Yes. Council Member Habcnichl said. tlial she is not talking about what happened last week . She stated
she was talking about what happened last year. She said she looks to Council Member Clapp, because she
rememben sitting with her and talking about this. long before it happened. With her and staff and meeting
with people with all O\'er the staff and recognizing that this concept of doing the moratorium was going to
be addressing a much more comprehensive issue here. Tiiat is where, she said. she is addressing her
disappointment Not from last week. She stated she was expecting much more over a period of quite a
long time when this staned.
Council Member Bradsha"' pointed out that Neighborhood and Business Development has been a little
O\'CJWhclmed.

Mayor Bums said lhal was true, lhal he shares some of the same feelings. He noted they have had an awful
IOI on their plate and Gary Scars has not been here that long.
Council Member Habenicht said she Wldcrstands we have had a IOI of changes .
Also, Ms . Langon advised, it was at the February joint Council and Planning and Z.Oning Commission
meeting where the directive was to address these two panicular issues.
Council Member Bradshaw said this is like a band-aid and she has no problem with that. but she would like
to have Planning and Z.Oning Wldcntand ... she commented that she wasn't sure bow the rest of Council
felt ... that we really need to take a serious look at industrial zoning in Englewood. from the view of 1998.
Ms . Langon advised that. from their discussions, she would believe that Planning and Zoning was in
agreement wilh her on that
Council Member Oapp said that as they do that she thought a year ago they also discussed looking at types
of uses that arc next to our water supply. Ms. Langon stated that would all be part of the comprehensive
rewrite.
Just to add to that Council Member Habenicht said, that also things have changed. Noc only has the City
changed its character during this time, but our technologies and our industries have changed. Looking at it
from lhal point of view, to thinking back on the issue that they ran across on that Cedar MOW1tain issue.
Having lived through that one . There arc a lot of things. She stated that she was not trying to lay blame or
anything like that that she just wanted to express her disappointment because it was her Wlderstanding that
they were looking at a much more comprehensive ordinance here.
Ms. Langon noted that to address all of those issues would take far longer than the tnoratoriwn time. That
was part of the reason for just addressing these two key issues.
Council Member Waggoner asked. under the hazardous waste storage or processing. if there was any
panicu1ar reason that just stopped at conditional use. rather than being prohibited. He said he knows there
arc a lot of conccms all over about lwardous waste storage and processing. Ms. Langon advised there arc
a number of a>nditional uses. condilions that the use has to meet and they have written those into the
ordinance. If you prohibit them. she cxplaincd. there arc existing hazardous waste companies in town.
Then, Mr. Waggoner said. this applies to those that arc already there. Ms . Langon said that is right
Mayor Bums commenlCd that a lot of your businesses. your industries. will produce ba7.ardous waste that
arc perfectly lcgitimllC uses now or would be even non~nfonning. but they can sliU be in business. Ms .
Langon llated !hat this CO\lel'S just the storage. if they arc producing a huanlous waste. that is another item.
This is for the collection and storage .
Council Member Habenicht asked what she meant by processing. Council Member Waggoner explained it
is collecting. rcbagging it and then sending it out . Ms. Langon advised there is one company in the City
thal collects. but all they do is collect, bulk it and then ship it OUI . They don 't process. they don't clean,
they don 't refine. they don't do anything of that nature. They just collect. built and ship. She stated that
those items arc controlled Wider EPA regulations.
So . Council Member Waggoner said, what this really docs is it eliminates any others that come in and those
thal arc here arc grandfathered in. Ms . Langon advised that is right. 1h11 if there arc others coming in they
would be coming in and have to qualify under the condi1ional usc ... public hearing. etc.
Council Member Bradshaw thanked Ms. Langon for answc:nng all of their questions.

when thc theme of thc parade was wwc An: One." Council Member Nabbolz a>mmcn1ed that it was a very
inlereSling, quick thiaking on your feet, lypC of discussion. But. she said, he dropped a nolc 10 say be bad a

(ii) Council Member Bradshaw DOied in thcir packet Ibey gOl thc Council
information request upda&e and wbal she bad asked for was Slaff lo provide a listing of roning, land use and
ownership maps throughoul Englewood. She commcnled she was Wider thc impression lhat District I was
almost complete as far as who owns what properties. She said she realizes that some of the data may be
sensitive and things like that. but that she thought lhat was son of a Council din:ction. that we wanted lhat
information. so staff could have that information. And once it is compiled we just have to keep ii current.
we don't have to keep searching n:conls at thc County. She asked ifshc was wrong, iflhal was a
misconception on her part.
City Manager Scars said thal Harold Stitt might be able to help wilh this. Mr. Scars commented that Ibey
have had a couple of meetings intcmally on thc data Because of ownership changes ii will have to be
constantly updated, but he knows thal we an: in thc procas of going through and identifying ownership of
all parcels in thc City.
Community Coordinator for Long Range Planning Harold Stitt advised that wc have that information from
thc County Assessor and he Wldcrstood it is updalcd every lhn:c or four months. He SlalCd thal thc
information we get from thc County might be a monlh or so behind, because it likes time for lhcm 10
process thc information. But, it is a IOI mon: timely lhan information wc hive received in thc past
concerning property ownership.
In then:. Council Member Bradshaw said, it talks about a protected class of household. She asked wbal that
was . Mr. Stitt advised lhat thcn: an: some types of housing, maybe you an: particularly interested in
Section 8 lypC housing, thal wc may nol be able lo divulge or even get thc information. on when: Section 8
housing is in thc City of Englewood.
Council Member Bradshaw advised Iha! her concern is Iha! ii seems like for thc Section 8 houses. lha1 she
is awan: of. that thcn: an: an inordinate amount of police calls. She aid lhc knows that people have a
difficult time and she realizes that Section 8 people mighl be in very pm:uious positions. But. she staled.
she also lhinks lhal maybe thc Housing Authority needs to start paying thc City for some of thc police
protection, over and above thc norm, lhat is nccdcd al lhosc dilfen:111 locations.
Mr. St.in advised lhat thcir concern is that thcn: may be some Federal Slatutcs n:garding thc privacy or
conlidcn1iality of lhal information. He stated lhat Ibey arc looking inlo lhlt issue right now. 10 dc1crminc
wbal lypC of inforrna1ion. legally, can be given out in a public setting.
Council Member Bradshaw said she understands that . but she knows lhlt thcn: is one house on Logan that

Mayor Bums staled that the City Attorney has advised him that he can address this. First of all, he 5la1Cd.
the Housing Authority docsn 't own any of the Section 8 housing. That is one of the problems they have
bad for years. It is a problem of making that owner accountable and, he said, if there arc that number of
police calls there indeed might be a lease violation in there somehow. Because, he said, he thought the
lease provides that the occupant shall comply with the laws of the City. Mayor Bums suggested that
perhaps there could be some way, if there arc that number of calls, for that to be brought back to the
Housing Alllhority. so that the Housing Authority would know if there have been lease violations and they
could notify the owner. But, he pointed out, the Housing Authority is really kind of a conduit in this thing.
He noted, that they arc not diRctly responsible for the behavior of the people who live in the unit. but he
has even bad rcaltors say that someone needs to monitor these homes more often. Because if the landlord
lives in California he is not paying any attention. So, he noted, there may be some way of monitoring this
better so that we know if there has been a lease violation.
Council Member Bradshaw stated that she clocsn 't want the public to know. That she just wants that as pan
of the data base, so if staff or the police needs to access that they can say ~hey, we had 40 calls to this
residence in ooc year." She maintained that is excessive.
Mr. Stitt explained that the issue they have been looking at is if we arc viewed by outside agencies, or the
Federal govcnuncnt. as somehow tracking those propcnics differently than we may tlllCk any other
ownership, then there may be some Fcdcral liability there.
Council Member Bradshaw asked if we arc uacking the number of police calls to residences, wouldn ·1 that
be all residences. Mr. Stitt stated it shouldn 't matter whctJ1er it is Section 8 or not in that case . That is the
answer to the question.
Or, Mayor Bums noted, if the Impact Team has had to target one of these units. he thought the Housing
Authority should know that.
Council Member Habenicht said she can undcrstu1d specific locations of particular kinds of safe houses or
something like that. However, she noted, pan of what she thought they would be getting with the
information that was asked for, was that they would be finding out cxacdy wbal our statistics arc . She said
she would think that they should certainly be able to know how many Section 8 homes there arc in our
community and how many group homes there arc, and all of that . Council Member Bradshaw indicated
that was available. Ms. Habenicht staled that. from Council's viewpoint. if they arc looking to address
some policy issues with our Federal government or with some other govcnuncnt agency, that they need to
know what that infonnation is. She said she can Wldcrstand that could be under a confidential
responsibility and accountability, but at the same time she thinks there is a lot of information that they don 't
have .
Mr. Stitt advised that they would supply Council with any information they can. Confidentiality may be an
issue, but. he noted, to the extent that they have information concerning the number of group homes or
other activities like that. they will certainly provide Council with ihal. along with ownership and rental
versus homeowner statistics.
Council Member Bradshaw advised that they really wanted to get a number on what percentage of the
homes arc owner occupied versus rental and things like tliat. And, Council Member Habenicht said, where
they arc in general. Vastly different version, Mayor Bums said. And, Ms. Bradshaw said, arc they
concentrated in one area or not. if that is the case . then we need to put incentive programs into owner
occupied.
Mayor Bums advised that you can know the number of Section 8 units. that is not a problem, but
identifying individual rcsidcnccs or locations that is maybe something else.

Perhaps also, Council Member Habenichl said. she misundcl'Slallds and doesn 't know enough about
housing issues and about Section 8, as it is not an issue she has really followed carefully . But her
undenlanding is that the funding provided for Section 8 goes to reimbunc the owner, the landlord, who can
then offer a lower rent to people. So it is a benefit coming to them and it is Fcdenl dollars, so she said, she
has a really hard time thinking that DIICOIIC Ids Federal dollars and it is sec:m. when it is a landowner.
She statcd she is just bying to undcnland lhll If that is the case she Slid she thinks Council needs to stan
addressing. through CML and the National League or Cities, ifwe cannol get that infonnalion and aca:ss
it, not only as a municipality, but u a c:itiml . She Slalcd she would be grossly offended.
Mayor Bums suggcsted they might be able to get information on who the landlord. the owner is. but not
who the tenal1l is . There may be a distinction there .
Council Member Bradshaw and Council Member Nabholz indicated that the landlord is the issue .
Mr. Stitt advised that that infonnation is a public record and it is available through the County assessor's
office and we have that information. So, he stated. it is simply a matter of pulling it in a fonn that would be
most meaningful for Council 's use.
Council Member Bradshaw asked if he knows what Council wants. Mr. Stitt said be knows the type of
information Council wants, but whal they are struggling with is the form to put it in so thal it is meaningful .
He advised they have the ability to print out lists or ownership by property .
Council Member Bradshaw advised that wtw she wants is, by district. how many rentals, how many owner
occupied. Mr. Stitt asked if that was just by Counc:il district. And. Ms. Bradshaw said, how many half way
houses, how many rehabs.
Mr. Stitt stated that that significantly simpliflCS the task. That is why . Council Member Bradshaw said. that
when she got that memo she thought this can 't be that hard.
And actually, personally, Council Member Habcnichl said. she would like to see it by what used to be their
precincts before we went inlo all this other kind olvoting. But that's all rigbt. she advised. if it is just
districts that is okay too .
But, Council Member Bradshaw pointed out, if there is an inordinaac amount of rentals in, lets say
northeast Englewood, in a cenain area, then they need to know lhll And why do we need to know that?
Council Member Habenichl said 7.Cllling issues, u they are looting at our Comprehensive Plan. Council
Member Bradshaw said maybe zoning and noted that that land use may have changed.
Mayor Bums advised that the Housing Audlority has targdcd different pans or the City for like the rehab
loan program before . And of counc. he pointed out, thole are all owner occupied .
But, Council Member Bradshaw noted. they could advenise the bond money and target that one area.
Mayor Burns said sure .
Mayor Burns Slated there are some restrictions on how much targeting you can do . But you can cenainly
get your infonnation out.
Mr. Stitt advised they could put together the infonnation. Council Member Bradshaw noted that would
happen fast Mr. Stitt said yes .
Council Member Bradshaw asked if there WU anything else anybody dlC ~UIS.

Cily Manager Scars asked Mr. Stilt what was the format they were following to put the infonnation
together. Mr. Stitt explained that they were Uying to figure out a way to put the infonnation on, for
inslance. a bloc:k by block aa:ounting where you might have a statistical. For instance. of the typical 24
homes in a block. 10 arc owner occupied and 14 arc renter occupied.
Council Member Bradshaw staled that if lhcy could flag BRaS like that eventually. that would help.
Mr. Stitt advised that they havc that information. what they arc working on is a way of mapping that
infonnalion. Giving it to them by Couacil district, be said. with the gross nwnbcr of total number of units,
number of owner occ:upicd units and amibcr ol rental units. He IWcd they can do that for Council
districts, that is fairty simple. Wbcll they get down to finer lcvds. he said, it becomes a bit more difficult
with the mapping. They also have to aiqme tbal with the zoning. bccausc. for instance tbcrc may be
some areas in a district thal looks like tbcrc is an iaordinalc amount of rmtal property. But its like
Kimberly Village. Council Member Bradshaw said. Mr. Stitt said that is a>rrcct. So. he staled, the zoning
has to be shown and they arc worting. trying to figure out a way to show all that infonnation so it is
meaningful. not just a mass of data on a map. But. he stated, they can get Council the infonnation on the
Council district level .
Cily Manager Scars advised they a>uld get that to COW1Cil right away .
Council Member Bradshaw said that is a good place to start and if Council needs more then they can ask
for it. She asked if that cleared it up . Mr . Stilt said yes, that that help immensely.
Council Member Habenicht said she would like to add to that that she wouldn ·t want just owner occupied
and rental. That she would like to know single family rental. owner occupied rental and multi family
rcnlal, so they can factor that out. Mr. Stitt advised they can do that. that they can differentiate. as he
thought the Coun1y infonnation is split up. between single family. duplex. three and four unit and then
anything above that is a>nsidcrcd multi family. Ms. Habenicht stated that would be wonderful.
Mayor Bums thanked Mr. Stitt
(iii) Council Member Clapp said she just wanted to bring it to Council ·s allclltioo
that the Library Board bas I lot of vacancies right now . And if tbcrc WIS anything they could do to fill
!hose vacancies. so they could IIIO\'C on with some of their projects. she thought that would be very
beneficial .
Council Member Bllldshaw asked if they ooukln"t go back and look through some of those people who
applied that they didn ·, put on the Library Board. Council Member Waggoner said he thought they put
everybody on a a,mmince.
Mayor Bums advised that they have an extn vacancy on the Housing Authority too.
Maybe. Council Member Habenicht Alggcsted. they should do a quickie publication and try to get some for
the places where ~-c ha\-c vacancies.
Council Member Garrett Slalcd that Planning and Zoning has one too.
Ma)·or Bums said he thought that iuybc they should ult Sue Bradshaw to process this and sec who they
ha\·e. who is available . He noted they usually do this every six months. but there arc times in bctwccn
where they may ha\'C to advertise .
Council Member Wagoner 111gaaed they advcnisc for specific bolnls. thorc that have VICIIICies .
Several Council members concurred.

City Manager Sears said be was not sure be had either. He advised be would do a follow-up on that
Council Member Bradshaw noted that that activity has been going on there a long time . Council Member
Waggoner said he knows that, but they happened to sec this one going on and they tried to get some police
there and it just took too long.
Mayor Bums advised be got feedback in that neighborhood as be has walked through there. during the
election cycle too . He noted it is in his district and it has been coming up regularly .
3. He stated that be thought some lime ago be also asked for a rcpon on the rctircc insurance
coverage on bcalth.
City Manager Sears said that was right, that they arc working on thaL Tom Kcrshisnik is lairing a look al
that. be advised. and he thought they would probably be bringing that information back as wc take a look al
our budget information . He said be knows that Frank Gryglcwicz and Tom Kcrshisnik arc taking a look at
that.
Council Member Waggoner asked if that is for the rctirccs, wbcthcr they arc under the regular program.
City Manager Sears said that is right Mr. Waggoner asked if they arc going to try to keep them under the
regular program. Mr. Sears advised they will do a follow-up .

said no . tbat he thought they were talking about a different program next Tuesday. He stated they arc
finishing the actuarials on the DROP program for everybody . Council Member Bradshaw and City

Council Member Waggoner asked if !here was anything new on any of lhc tenant stuff' yet. if they arc
willing to make any contact yet . City Manager Scars advised that Skip Miller is meeting with the
individual tenants and Tim Lcorwd and Marilcc Utter arc meeting with him . Mr. Scars Slated that he has a
meeting with Wal-Man Wednesday afternoon . They did meet with them last week. he said. and he heard it
was a pretty successful meeting from all sides. He said he was not sure, really, which tenants, in addition
to those they have already kind of talked about, that Skip Miller is meeting with. But City Manager Scars
noted. he docs know that he is meeting with several others.
Council Member Waggoner SlalCd there is some concern about the location of lhc theater.
Council Member Bradshaw advised there is a cona:m about Fox Street going sttaight through again.
City Manager Scars said that bas been raised to them and he thought lhc team is aware of lhc concerns of
lhc property o•-ncrs to lhc nonh and Ibey are pulling that information in. Rigllt now, he staled. there is a
IOI of discussion about infrulnlctUl'C. in terms of roadways and connc:c:tions. He said he knows thal Inca is
being discussed. in lieu of Fox. in tcnns of connecting to Danmouth. But again. he noted. be does not
know. He po1111ed out that we have Public Works people, planning people and everybody, kind of sitting
down and trying to figure out what makes sense !here.
Council Member Waggoner suggested that when Ibey arc looking al that Ibey better be talking to RID. too.
Because. be nolcd. they have some real concerns about lhc bus route off of Dartmouth into the Park n Ride.
City Manager Scars staled thal Rick Kabm bas been talking to them pretty intently, along with David
Tryba, in teims of bow Floyd is used for bus transportation and then a connection back up to Dartmouth.
There is some discussion. City Manager Scars said. about a smaller theater in lieu of a larger theater over
!here. So. be noted. there is a lot of intcmal discussion from lhc different factions. But be opined.
everybody is stepping forward. trying to wort al lhc Slaff level . to come together with what is the best
projc:a. or maybe one or two alternative projects. to come back to City Council with .
Council Member Bradshaw asked if we are on time. Council Member Nabbolz asked if be said smaller
theater. Potentially. City Manager Sears said . Mayor Bums asked if be was talking about the movie
lhcalers. Mr. Scars said yes. there are a couple of different theater companies that Ibey have tallced to and
one them promotes a smaller screen than what was talked about.
Council Member Habenicht asked if we are still addressing housing. City Manager Scars advised that we
are . housing is a critical pan of the whole discussion and whether it comes inlemal whether it is more on
the outside. it is there. He said that he knows that Peter Calthorpe. in his plan. feels like that is really
imponant 111c housing comes in to pay more money up front but the long term return. in terms of retail
sales back to the City. you don't have that So. there has been a lot of discussion about lhc types of
housing. At this time. he advised. Ibey are looking at a high end rental that can be translated over 10
condominiums or townhomes. He said he knows there was some discussion. which he stepped on right
away. or came back to in terms of. which was gated. because be does not think a gated community makes
sense. Exactly bow lhc housing would fit inlo lhc thealer and bow it would relate 10 lhc traffic that is there,
whether or ROI lofts make sense ... all those alternatives arc being looked at especially by Peter Callhorpe
and Marilee Utter. Then the cost of housing in terms of how much thal may pull away from the total
project. is looked at . City Manager Sears commented that . right now. he knows the numbers arc going
back and forth between 400,000 and 430.000 sqiwc feet of retail . and that is lhc number they arc trying to
keep in there. He said he would just say it is dyMJllic. but all of those issues are being reviewed as 10 bow
they can wort .
Council Member Habenicht advised that she has visited a number of movie theaters in lhc area and she has
not been 0\/erly impressed. But recently, she said. they went twice to see films al lhc new Highlands Ranch

AMC . She asked if anyone else has been out there. She recommended they give it a shot. Ms. Habenicht
stated she was impressed, that she fell she was at a quality space.
Mayor Bums commented that that one has been given a loc of publicity and he thought there was a new one
al Westminsler that just opened.
Mayor Bums said that he understands wc have noc been slowed down by the INS raid on the penonnel
doing the remediation at the Ccmcr. City Manager Sears advised that that is his understanding. He said he
wished Rick Kahm was here to give a liale more of an updale. Mr. Sears 5'lled that they found a little
more asbestos in the Joslins building than wc anlicipatcd would be there. He said he knows there is a lot of
discussion going on • the same lime about demolilion and how the demolition can wort with those
individual buildings. Perhaps. be noccd. certain buildings can be demolished with the asbestos actually
Slaying inside and others have to be tnnsponed oulSide . He said that is kind of on going while wc go
through the res1 of the project. Mr. Sears noced be could noc answer his question tocally tonighl that he will
have to gel back to him.
Council Member Bradshaw asked if wc are on lime . City Manager Sears advised that he thinks they are.
We are meeting weekly and he knows they have gone through 15 different plans and all the participants
have been working through that. He said he thinks they are pretty much aware of where most of the issues
are . Mr. Sears opined that things will gel more difficult over the next two or three weeks when they
actually have to say that this is the plan or this is the plan . Maybe with a couple of alternatives, he noted,
they will come back to Council and say this is how much it is going to cost to make that plan work . And
this is what the developer p1ys and this is what our obligations are . lbey had to go through all this stuff, he
maintained, in terms of pulling everything together and he thought it would get more difficult over the next
several weeks. But from all sides, he advised, they still seem to feel like they are on track and at least they
will have a plan to present to Council on the s"'.
Regarding one other thing, Mayor Bums DOied they talked about RTD , in our agreemenL was to provide
the putting. He opined there are going to be some serious puking issues at Oxford. There was an article
in the JIIPCr about it recently , he said. and John Claflin from the RTD Slaff' talked about that and said they
don 't wane to overbuild. they wanted to be conservative when they Slar1-Bul Mayor Bums commented. he
can see people saying wcll I can't part at Oxford. 1 will go to Cinderella City . They are going to Slart
loading up the pamng facility at Cinderella City. because there is no l*king at Oxford. Mayor Bums
opined they are just kidding themselves and he told them that m1 the tour they had receody. thal they have
got to get some parking at Oxford. Because, be noced. people are going to try to pa,k there anyway and wc
are going to be citing them and then they are going to go to the reacaaion center and put in that lol and
walk over. He said he just thinks they are kidding themsch'CS aboul this parking issue. At Mineral too.
Council Member Bradshaw said. they don ·1 have near enough. Mayor Bums agreed and noced it will
probably be a problem at ACC and Evans. Council Member Bradshaw staled that ACC is going to be a big
problem.
City Manager Sears said he thinks Iha& the parking, which has really been kind of the prinwy. initial focus ,
seems to be coming together better than people though! thal it would . There appears to be. he DOied.
adequate putting for the different types of uses. that are on the site over there right now . using pans of the
existing structure. But our feeling. be noled. to a certain extenL is thal wc may go back to R TD for
additional funding. because of the puking requirements thal are going to be there . To help close that gap.
Mayor Burns said. So. City Manager Sears said. the y need to have the plan. lay that out and then take it
back to RTD . Because. Council Member Bradshaw commented. this is a good project for them. City
Manager Sears ag,ced dtis is a great project . Mayor Bums noced this is a showcase project for them .

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Agenda Item
10 a i
Subject
Union Pacific Railroad Right-
of-Way Crossing
Modifications -Yale & Bates
INITIATED BY
Utilities Department
STAFF SOURCE
Stewart Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Original railroad crossing agreements were approved in 1953/1954. The original project
agreement, the Utility Crossing Agreement with RTD, was passed as Council Bill #49 on June
2, 1997.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council approval by Ordinance of the Pipe line Crossing license for the right-of-way at Yale
for a sanitary sewer line (Milepost #6 .43) and a 6" water main at Bates Ave .
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The original Pipe line Crossing license allowed Englewood to install sanitary sewer pipes
across the existing railroad right-of-way. As of part of the Southwest Corridor light Rail
Project , the location of the heavy rail railroad tracks has been modified requiring additional
encasement of the existing sanitary sewer pipes. The railroad crossing license needs to be
modified to reflect these changes .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
RTD will be funding the Crossing license Agreement.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
10 a ii
Subject
Southern Pacific Railroad
Right-of-Way Crossing
Modifications -Kenyon
STAFF SOURCE
Stewart Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
"' -
Original railroad crossing agreements were approved in 1953/1954. The original project
agreement, the Utility Crossing Agreement with RTD, was passed as Council Bill #49 on June
2, 1997.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council approval by Ordinance of the Pipe Line Crossing Licenses for the right-of-way at
Kenyon and at Yale.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The original Pipe Line Crossing License allowed Englewood to install sanitary sewer pipes
across the existing railroad right-of-way. As of part of the Southwest Corridor Light Rail
Project, the location of the heavy rail railroad tracks has been modified requiring additional
encasement of the existing sanitary sewer pipes. The railroad aossing licenses need to be
modified to reflect these changes .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
RTD will be funding the Crossing License Agreements.

For the past several years, staff has worked towards developing a City-wide concrete program addressing
existing sub-standard concrete and complying with the American with Disabilities Act in constructing handicap

concrete needs in this area .
The cost of these improvements are borne by the City through monies budgeted in the Public Improvement Fund
(PIF). Costs Include concrete construction , incidental storm sewer construction, administration , engineering,
surveying , testing , and miscellaneous incidentals.
A review of references provided by Thoutt Brothers Concrete Contractors, Inc . indicates their work is
satisfactory. They have completed similar projects for the City in past years, including Concrete Programs 1996
and 1997 .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Co ncrete Program 1998 Is scheduled for construction during the summer of 1998. Funding for the project in the
amount of approx imately $156.000 is available in the PIF .

Allen Plant PBX Lease/
Purchase Agreement
Chris Diebold, Manager of lnfonnation Services
Stu Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council approval, by motion, in January 1997 authorizing the lease/purchase of the current City PBX
Telephone System .
RECOMMENDED ACTION
"~
Staff seeks Council approval, by motion, for the award of the PBX expansion project for the Allen Plant
to Lucent Technologies, Inc in the amount of $24,334.47. This is a four-year lease/purchase
agreement with the annual appropriations clause . This pricing was derived from State contract
P97S85T .
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Currently, the City has telephone switches and data communications equipment at City Hall (which
supports Safety Sarvices), the Servicenter (which also supports the Bi-City Wastewater Treatment
Plant), Recreation Center, Golf Course, Malley Senior Center, and the Miler Building. All of the
switches are networked together and provide centralized management and voice mail.
The purpose of this project is to incorporate the Allen Filter Plant into the City's voice and data
communications network.
The Allen Filter Plant currently utilizes a small phone switch and a single Off-Premise Extension (OPX)
to communicate with the rest of the City and the external environment. By instaning a PBX and
networking the instaHation into the City's network, we would be able to improve off-hours customer
service and enhance communications between the Utilities Department, the Allen Filter Plant, and the
Metershop .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for the 1998 portion of the lease are available in the 1998 Capital Projects Fund (FYCP).

Department of Administrative Services Chris Diebold, Manager of Information Services
Department of Safety Services Chris Olson, Director of Safety Services
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council approval, by motion, in January 1997 authorizing the lease/purchase of the current City PBX
Telephone System.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff seeks Council approval, by motion, for the award of the PBX expansion project for the
Department of Safety Services' Community Resource Center, to Lucent Technologies, Inc in the
amount of $25,299.72. This is a four-year lease/purchase agreement with the annual appropriations
clause. This pricing was derived from State contract P97S85T.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Currently, the City has telephone switches and data communications equipment at City Hall (which
supports Safety Services), the Servicenter (which also supports the Bi-City Wastewater Treatment
Plant), Recreation Center, Golf Course, Malley Senior Center, and the Miller Building. All of the
switches are netwofked together and provide centralized management and voice mail.
The purpose of this expansion is to incorporate the Safety Services Community Resource Center into
the City's voice and data communications netwofk.
The Community Resource Center at 2909 S Broadway currently uses two analog phone Unes that were
installed as an interim solution. Staff investigated eeveral options, but concluded that installing a PBX
would be the best long-tenn solution. In the event of a move to another location, this equipment would
be transferred and re-installed.
By installing a PBX at this location, the Impact team and the Community Relations Officer will return to
the level of service provided at their previous location. Staff believes that this capability improves
communications with the community, enhances customer service, and strengthens communications
and teamwork within Safety Services.
In addition, the new switch will support the Computer Aided Dispatch/Records Management System
(CAD/RMS). The current analog phone lines will not adequately support the requirements of this
technology.
FINANCIAL •PACT
Funds for the 1998 portion of the lease are available in the 1998 Capital Pro;ects Fund (FYCP).

MAH KUESS, l'llESIDENT
ORCHARD PLACE RESIDENT COUNCIL
Mr. Mayor, City Council Members:
At your last meeting, you had a number of persons complaining about the
benches in our lobby. You must understand that these benches were placed
because of many complaints by the residents about some of its residents
socializing in the lobby and making remarks about guests and
eavesdropping on conversations with office personnel. 1be concern of
residents that these people were starting gossip about them and their guests
cause much concern.
The benches serve to allow people to rest for a short time and permit people
to wait for their transportation (cab, bus, etc.). In addition, the noise level in
the lobby has been greatly reduced allowing the property manager to
conduct business in a more professional manner without concern that
someone will eavesdrop on telephone conversation or private conversations.
Orchard Place has a library that has been set up with new couches and
chairs that are very comfortable for people to converse and socialize and to
wait for rides if they so choose. In addition to the benches in the lobby, a
park-type bench has been placed in the outer lobby.
The Resident Council passed a motion to keep the benches in the lobby and
the vote was 30 for, 2 abstentions, and 1 against.
Please understand that the majority of the people in our building feel that
the new administration is doing an excellent job in that they do listen to the
majority and not a minority.

In tbe traffic division. a 1990 GMC Venalift auck (Unit # 304 3) is scheduled for replacement and in the
pults division a 1983 International dump truck (Unit # S 111 ) is also scheduled for replacement. Both of

Transfer succbacge
BACKGROUND
In April, 1986, the City attempted to levy a fee on the Solid Waste Transfer
Station by amending the existing •Adllissions Tax Ordinance.• A lawsuit by the
company followed, and the City abandoned further efforts to collect the fee
under that particular ordinance.
DISCUSSION
The present effort is to call the fee exactly what it is, a •waste Transfer
Surcharge,• by adding a new chapter to Title IV of the Municipal Code. This
section would apply to any existing or any future waste transfer stations in
the City of Englewood.
The surcharge would be collected at the tiae of entry to the station and would
be based upon the voluae of trash transferred, i.e., 20 cents per cubic yard.
The fee would have the affect of adding approxf111tely S.20 to a car, S.50 to a
pickup and Sl.00 to a five yard duap truck •
FINANCIAL INPLICATICIIS
Based upon an actual vehicle count in May of 1986, this fee could generate
S60,000, plus, per year in revenue. At the end of 1986, the Arapahoe Landfill
closed and the usage at the transfer station should have increased.
RECOIIIEJIJATICII
It is recoaended that Council approve the ordinance establishing a •waste
Transfer Surcharge.•

lbanlr. YOU!
It is a privilege. today, to be here among colleagues in the profession of Human Resources. And a special
honor for the City of Englewood to receive not only t • place recognition, but 21111 place recognition as -11.
I'd like to spend the few next minutes giving you a brief overview of the City of Englewood's Career
Development Pay Plan.
• An employee in the department of Administrative Services, with responsibilities in the
areas of payroll and recruilmDlt, also serves as the resident graphic desigMr for
many departmmts within the City of Englewood. This emplo-yee ha.s desigMd logos,
brocluues, fliers and other prodMcts for several depar1fflDII and Citywide programs.
This employee receives cornpensalion 1111/Ur her plan's higher level categories of
excellence """"1,raphic de!Jll'. degree. She ltas also received a ducretionary
reward/or~ ~~mt d;sfint.,.,_,11,e City of Englewood's web siu. The cost to

• Through team cooperation, emplo-yees in the Streets Division of the Public Works
department doubled the outplll of asphalt from 450 tons to over 900 tons. These
employees received a discretionary reward for the accomplishment of this team goal.

Prior to the Can:cr Development Pay Plan, like most organizations, the City of
Englewood's compensation system resembled a traditional step progression pay plan.
[ SLIDE 2 J
Under this 4 step progression pay plan, employees hired in II the A step of the I S'li pay
line. Each step progression, hued upon satisfactory performance and worth a S'li pay
increase, occurred in intervals of six months with maximum compensation anained
within an 18-month period.
r:r [ SLIDE 3 J
This rapid attainment of the maximum compcnsation level made it difficult for the City
to retain talented employees and difficult to motivale the employees that stayed beyond a
period of eighteen months.

In 1989 the City of Englewood began re-assessing its current culture and mission. One
area given focus was the City's existing compensation plan. The City of Englewood's
Administrative Services staff enlisted the efforts of its Bcncfits and Compensation teams
in the design of a pay plan to address the areas the existing pay plan failed to address.
The new pay plan, known as the Career Development Pay plan, has created opportunities
for employees to excel.
[ SLIDE 4]
The Career Development Pay Plan provides rewuds and incentives to employees for
value-added advanced knowledge, skills, abilities, individual and lam goals and
objectives, personal and professional~ duties, tasks and
responsibilities above the normal scope of the position. Employees may also be rewarded
for contributions made to the improvement of City operations and services.
r:r [ SLIDE SJ
Customized to the department, division and employee, the Career Development pay plan
replaces the original 15% pay line with a 40% pay line. The new pay line is divided into
three components; base categories of excellence, higher-level categories of excellence
and discretionary cafeteria style rewuds and incentives.
r:r [ SLIDE 6]
Base categories of excellence, extncled from the position dclcription repracnt
the minimum qualificalions and requiranenls of the position.
[ SLIDE 7)
Higher level categories of exccllencc include difficult knowledge, skills, abilities,
goals and stretch objectives thal go beyond the basc caregories of excellence .
--These on-going areas may require III employee to go outside of his or her comfort
zone in such areas u cducalion; aativity and innovation, expanded job duties,
increased responsibilities and cross training .

Discretionary cafeteria style rewards and incentives may be either monetary or
non-monetary and are based upon outstanding achievements, accomplishments,
and changes or improvements that positively impact City operations or services.
Base and higher-level categories of excellence are assigned percentages based upon
difficulty, frequency and importance. An employee's pay is adjusted if s(he) gains a new
category of excellence or loses and existing one.
Employees are compensated according to their own self-initiative in attaining and
mastering the categories of excellence
As a result of the Career Development Pay Plan, the City of Englewood has experienced
decreased turnover, increased productivity and morale, efficiency in operations and
services, interdepartmental coopention, and the dissolution of a traditional longevity-
based compensation~ .
By utilizing the special skills and talents of its employees through the Career
Development Pay Plan, the City has seen a return on its invescment.
A steel barrier fence at the City's golf course would have costs the City $500,000.
As a result of its design concept, the Public Worts departlflffll was able to redllCe
this cost to$/ 30,000
Two employees in the Mllllicipal Cowt are awarrJd luglwr level caugories of
excellence for tlwir Spanish language skills. 11,e costs to lure interpreurs ranges
from $25 to $50 per ho,u.
For employees, the benefits of the Career Dev. Pay Pim are visible through career
advancement, job enrichment and enhancemeut, a seme of empowerment, and Che
opportunity for financial rewards and incentives.

"The old plan would keep good employees but after reaching the top level they're out of
here. I would be out of here too if it weren't for this plan."
For the City of Englewood, implementing the Career Development Pay Plan required:
Extensive research to determine if, and how, a non-traditional pay plan
would fit the organization's culture;
Sttong commitment and buy-in from the entire organization;
A well laid foundation;
An effective medlod of communicating the concept of the non-traditional
pay plan to City employees;
An invesbnent of time to train employees in the mechanics of the plan and
A willingness to take a risk.
This risk, for the City of Englewood, has resulted in a more skilled, knowledgeable and
better«nc:ated workforce.
Thank You!
