12 . Galen! DiKalliN
(a) Mayor's Choice
I . Mayor Bums praeated a proclamation dcclaring Council's mppon for the Rm-Guide The
Ride" lnilialive. He explained that this Siems from the Transit 97 Comminee . The F11Cf81 mppon for
the '"Guide The Ride" Program, is basically found in Smale Bill 55 tllis year in the legillllurc. wbic:b we
tellified on to increase the RID sales tax by . 4% to a full CCIII. to fund die "Guide The Ride"
improvements. He said, as he undcrSlancls, they arc having a major kidt off and press conference next
week on this. Mayor Burns noted this is being brought up in the form ol a plOClamllion. illltad ol a
resolution which would have to have been on the docket. He commented that Council Member Habeaicbt
has an addition to tl1is proclamalion.
COUNCIL MEMBER HABENICHT MOVED TO AMEND THE PROCLAMATION TO ADD
ANOTHER WHEREAS. "WHEREAS, THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD LOOKS FORWARD TO
THE LIGHT RAIL PROJECT ALONG THE SOUTHWEST CORRIDOR, AND HAS
APPRECIATED THE SUPPORT OF OTHER COMMUNITIES IN MAKING TBA T HAPPEN,
WE CERTAINLY WANT TO SUPPORT ALTERNATIVE MODES OF TRANSPORTATION
AND SOLUTIONS FOR OTHER COMMUNITIES AS WELL"
Mayor Burns noted that that really goes hand in glove with the kind of understanding we have tried to
have with other communities in the metro area as the southwcsa corridor light rail came on for wling, not
only at RID but especially at the DRC:00 Board where it had to be approved in order for us to Fl a full
funding graal agrccmcnl with the Federal Government for Ibis line. He said they had told the othcr cities,
especially in the northern tier of cities, that if they would suppor1 us in this line, which was die ft.-one,
that we would see what we oould do to support them wbea othcr lines CIOIIIC on board . Mayor Bums
advised lhat the "Guide The Ride" Program has the prapoal to do several of these lines, mpccially die
southeaSI corridor, the wcsa corridor and the air train to die airport, all at onoe illllead ol protpeaiwdy
having to contest over which one goes next. which would take an awful lot of years . So it is very mucll in
lune wilh whal we have been doing wilh lhcsc other cities for the pall several years aad lie told <:.ouncil
Member Habenicht thal he appRCialed the chanF, 1h11 it though& it was a ll)Od OIIC .
Mayor Burns asked if there were any other RlqllCllod additioM to the pmdaffl#ioa Bcillg -. lie aid
he would cntcnain a motion to approve this proclamation.
COUNCIL MEM8ER HA8ENICHT MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE THE
PROCLAMATION PROCLAIMING COUNCIL'S SUPPORT FOR THE RTD "GUIDE THE
RIDE" INITIATIVE, AS AMENDED.

2. Mayor Burns said. as they know. we had• tragic acciden1 a1 Belleview Part where a a,uple or
boys crossed Rcllevicw at that loc:ation and were bit by a car. He nolcd tbcrc was a quesaioa. in the paper
and he thought the police responded. as to whelhcr they a,uld bfte gone underneath • tbat time or
whether lhat was blocked or bow it was signed. Ma,or Bums ltaled he is 11111 mre wlllll the-.... is
there while thal is under repair. and while we are putting • billc trail through, whelhcr thclC kids
undenlood thal they could go underneath that road or not . Ma,or Bums llaled that he thinks it is
incumbent upon us to make mre people do know or don't know. that if it is blocked or signed or wbalevcr,
whether they can go under there or not. So. he opined. wc Mal to lake a look at tbal and make mre there
is • clear undenlanding or wbal facilities can be used.
c.ouncil Member Clapp felt that was • really good point he brought up . She suggested that maybe wc
could put a little Ulldhing in our Citizen. kind of laying out • map as to bow to use that.
Mayor Bums 8llied if it bas C\'CI' been actually blocked. He aid he did 11111 think it had. Council Member
Wiggins advilcd that it is open right now . Acting City Manager Esterly advilcd that portion or the project
bas been oonstnlcled. but the project itself is not fully COIIIUUCUd. 11lal project is being carried oul by the
City of Littleton with the usis&ancc or the City of Englewood . He explained that the City of Littleton.
after the rain storms and Oooding and debris !hat were in the box culvert ordered the c::ontractor to close it
until it was deaned up. So, he advised. ii WIS closed off' with barricades al either encl at the time of the
aa:ident. Mayor Burns stated tha1 it was a tragic event.
3. Mayor Burns staled that he thought, when Council appnMCI the use or their new consultants on
the Cinderella City projc:d last week. they said it would lake about ICn clays to get their project groups
together. He asked Acting City Manager EllCrly bow they are oomi• along with tbat . Mr. Elterly
advised thal he will be reporting on thal during the Maaqer's repon .
4. Mayor Bums DOied thal tomom,w night is National Nipt Oul and that pmticipllillg Couaci1

3. She staled thal she was sunounded briefly by approxima1ely 20 juveniles Friday nighl at a
quaner 10 eighl al Danmoulh and Delaware. There are several duplexes on Delaware and they are 3078,
3068, 3090 and 3096. Council Member Nabholz advised thal there is a lot of police contact at these
duplexes. She said she spoke to Scrgcanl Watson lhis morning and he said he would be pulling logether a
history of calls, thal it is her undcrSlanding 1ha1 ii could possibly be one owner. But, she advised, this is
causing a real problem within lhat neighborhood once again.
4 . She said she received a call from a Gary Athey on Sunday evening and his concern was the paved
alley in the 3100 block of SCNlth Bannock. He said the City has been promising lo fix that and repair that
concrete and he wants to know if in thal Concrete Utility he is also paying for that alley to be repaired
with concrete. She said she told him she would check and get back with him.
S. She advised that she has changed her plans. that she will be visiting block panics tomorrow
night, that they have poSlpOncd their block pany unlil September.
(ii) Council Member Vonnillag:
I . He said regarding the Smart Trailer, he saw that Division Chief Moore is in the audience and
wanted to let him know that he appreciates still gelling them. Mr. Vonnittag stated thal he noticed one or
two in there where the speeds were extremely high for the time. One car was doing 58 miles an hour
between eight and nine o 'clock in the evening. He said he lhought it was over near Cornell on that
panicular one. Council Member Vonniuag pointed out thal he also noticed another one on the 4100
block of Delaware at two o 'clock in the morning between 66 and 70 miles an hour. There was another
one that concerned him, he said. doing SO to SS miles an hour at 12 in the afternoon. He said he was just
wondering if wc ever have any patrols out there, even though wc have the Sman Trailer there, he didn't
know how they can get away with doing lhal kind of speeding like that in the middle of the day .
Acting City Manager Esterly stated they can talk about this a little bit and get badt to Council. But, he
said. as Council Member Vonnittag noted the Smart Trailer was sining out there typically for a one week
period of time and there was one or lwo violators thal extreme during that time period. He commented
that to catch that person yCNI would have had to have posted an officer there for 24 hours a day for a week
10 co1ne up wilh the one violalor. So. he noted, tllBI is probably not a practical solution to catching that
person. Council Member Vonnittag stated that he had a guy going down his street and he mUSI have been
doing 75 or so. he was burning rubber for four blocks. Mr. Esterly advised thal if we were doing I camcra
security type activity. thal type of person would have been noted. He said he did not "-' if Division
Chief Moore might have some comments about the opportunities for inaa:uracics in the Sman Trailer or
ifwc arc comfortable that the data that comes out of the Smart Trailer is 100% accurate or not .
Division Chief Moore commented that ii seems to be pretty accurate and that the COIIUIICIII about one car
out of 100 over a long period of time, that it would be very diffiaalt to catch. It is possible. but it is
unlikely tll8t 11181 person would be caught . Noting the comment that Council Member Vormittag made.
thal if you truly saw one individual, that actually a citizen seeing the spccdcr could actually be of service
10 lhe police. By perhaps jotting down the license plale or maybe making a notation as to what the driver
looked like. he advised. they could issue a summons. He noted they would have 10 willing to 1cstify .
Division Chief Moore explained 1ha 1 lhcy arc actually more likely 10 be able to cite so1ncbody under those
condi1ions than 10 coincidentally be al lhc location when somebody is speeding. Especially on a side street
or residential strecl. Not . he said. 1ha1 ii would never happen. thal it docs if they get lucky, tll8t therc just
arc not enough of I hem to go around.

Council Member Habenicht noted that she has not been following this too closely and asked if there was
any result in the legislature about the photo radar. City Attorney Brotzman advised that they are moving
into the court system . Ms. Habenicht asked what that means . Mr. Brotzman explained it means they will
be suing Fort Collins and Commerce City over their use .
2. He said the other item he had was the Council pay raises. Council Member Vormittag stated he
appreciated the citizens out there who are concerned that we are not getting paid enough. He asked if this
is something Council wants to do. to change it. Council Member Wiggins noted Mr. Vormittag
introduced ii. Mr. Vonnittag said he understands that. but he suggested Council discuss it now . He noted
Mr. Recs ' numbers were $1,500, $1 ,250 and $1,000.
Council Member Habenicht said she thought it had been publicized, but that she hasn't heard a lot of
negativity or anything with the amounts that they talked about. She commented that she is not so sure
that the general public would be as positive about it as the three people who spoke here tonight
Especially. she said, as it would be changed without benefit of a having gone into the press . She stated
that is her concern. Mayor Bums opined that if you wanted to increase it any more you could ask to have
it read on first reading again. In response to Council Member Habenicht, City Attorney Brotzman advised
that this is an ordinance. Mayor Bums noted they could expose ll11t to the public and see what they think
about that. Ms. Habenicht said that is good. that she thought ii was a resolution .
So. Council Member Vormittag asked, are you saying you would like lo go with those numbers and cross
out the $700. $650 and $600 and add in the new numbers. He asked City Attorney Brotzman if they could
do that . Mr. Brotzman advised they could do that if they liked.
Council Member Vonnittag asked Council Member Nabholz what she thought. Ms . Nabholz said she
would go along with that .
COUNCIL MEMBER VORMl1TAG MOVED TO AMEND COUNCIL BILL NO. 74 TO
CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF FOR THE SALARIES OF THE MAYOR FROM $780 TO St.sec,,
MAYOR PRO TEM FROM K• TO St,2.• AND COUNCIL MEMBER FROM 5'80 TO St,000.
Mayor Bums asked if they can do this on first reading. City Attorney Brot7.man advilCd that they could.
Council Member Nabholz said she wanted to make something clear. as there were a couple of people in
the audience last time that they discussed it that were upset that Council would C\'CD toy with the idea of a
pay raise. She Slaled she IICICdcd to make this clear that this is for the new people coming in or thole 11w
would be reelected . Because. she noted, those that are currently on Council would not ICC this. It -id.
she said. be only for the newer council members, like Mayor Bums if reelected .
Council Member Vonnittag asked that the Cler\ rad Council Bill No . 74 by title :
COUNCIL BILL NO . 74, INTROOUCED BY COUNCIL MEMBER VORMITTAG
A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TllLE I. CHAPTER S. SECTION 8. OF THE
ENGLEWOOD MUNICIPAL CODE 1911S PERTAINING TO CITY COUNCIL SALARIES .
COUNCIL MEMBER VORMITTAG MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE
COUNCIL BILL NO. 74 ON FIRST READING WITH THE NEW NUMBERS AMENDING IT.
Council Member Wiggins noted that from the current figures it is I so,,. increase and he opined that it is a
ridiculous increase. He said he thinks they serve as citizens. not so much as business people. He noted

they all work for a living and they serve the City and get into this job because they want to do what is best
for the City and our fellow citii.ens. Mr. Wiggins Slated he is comfonable with the current pay as it is,
even the one previously proposed. but this one, he said. is ludicrous. He advised he will wee against it.
that he feels it is not fair to the citizens. He said they are here to serve the people. that they do it as a
service to the citizens. not to get pay. And he Slated. in bis opinion. they sun: don't need that kind of
money.
Mayor Burns noted this is considenlbly higher obviously. He COIIUIICllted that Littldon has a proposed
schedule that is even higher than that and they have a variety of them with the malcrial tonight. He said
there are a variety of different levels of different cities and Ibis would be one of the bigbesl if Ibis were
passed. Mayor Burns said he didn't know whether the citizens would approwe this or IIOl, but that they
could expose this on first reading and see. He noted it is one of the higher ones proposed and be
understands why Jim Rees from the Chamber might propose this, but whether it is too high is the only
question.

Council Member Habenichl suggested thal Council move forward with the numbers that Council Member
Vormittag saarted with. on first reading. and if there seems to be some positive feedback from the resl of
the oommunity to follow the nx:ommcndatien of-of citizens and the Chamber that came up this
evening. that then we could on second readillg make an amendment to go to those higher figures . She
opined that this would pass lonight on first reading with the original figures . She said it sounds like
Council Member Wiggins would vote for it at that rate. Council Member Wiggins advised that be will not
vote for any increase. period.
Council Member Waggoner stated it has been moved and secooclcd and he called for the question.
Council Member Clapp stated she was confused. She asked which one they are voting on. Mayor Burns
explained that they will be voting on the higher figures. Council Member Wiggins noted they are voting
on the SJ,500, Sl,2SO and Sl,000. So. Ms. Clapp said. that this is the amendment. Mayor Burns said
that is right. Council Member Habenicht said thal this is at the higbesl figures . Mayor Burns said yes .
Ayes : Council Members V~g. Buns
Nays : Council Members Nabholz. Wiggins. Habenidlt. Wagoaer. Clapp

the public. He Slated be was DOI sun: al all lhal lllis is where they sllould end up . He IIOled it is pnay
high and be thought ii was probably wise DOI 10 go quite that high.
So now . Council Member Vormittag said, we are right bal:k lo the original numbers . Mayor Buns said

(iii) Council Member Wiggins:
I. He asked, now that we have the Concrclc Utility in affect, if he has some people in his District
that badly need amcretc work if he should have thole people contact Public Worts or how do we go about
getting them on it Acting City Manager Esterly said that is a good question. He explained that he can
call them in or provide the information through the City Manager's Office or directly 10 Public Works and
that, on an annual basis, they will be out ~ng properties. He advised they can make sure that thole
propcnies arc looked at lo sec if they qualify as some of the worst in the City lo gel taken care of first.
Council Member Wiggins noled he did make his payment on his Concrete Utility . Council Member
Vonnittag asked how much it was . Mr. Wiggins said it was S8 .2S .
2. He said he remembered Council passed an improvement for the Brookridge Shopping Center,
that public storage facilities were going 10 be built back there. And yet. Council Member Wiggins nolcd,
nothing has occum,d and he just wondered what the Slalus was on that . He asked if anyone has heard
anything on that. Acting City Manager ES1erly commented that actually, incidentally. he docs know a
little bil about that because the developer was in contacl with his office 10 talk about discussions that he

4 . She staled 1ha1 she lhinks it is lime thal perhaps they do another press release on Cinderella City.
Council Member Clapp advised that she has been hearing from some of her constiluenls that they feel that
Council is stalling, that this is another sludy . when in fact we do not have a contract with Equitable, this
is not a stall . She said ii is her understanding that tliey arc simply critiquing an actual plan and that they
arc malting good use of !heir time. Ms. Clapp opined that they need to communicate some of these key
points to the public so that they have a greater understanding. Ccnainly, she commented, Council
undcrslands but that she can see where they arc coming from and why they might feel the way they do.
5. She advised lhal she has a new computer, lhal she is having fun with ii, but that she is noc on E-
mail. So, she said, if they need to conununicale something please call her. Council Member Vormittag
asked if ii is a City computer or a personal one . Council Member Clapp advised that ii is a personal
computer.
(v) Council Member Waggoner said he would like lo add a linle lo Council
Member Clapp's commenls. He noted the press release lhal wenl out on Cinderella City didn't really
have any dale. limes or daleline on ii or anything. He nOled ii seems 10 him 1ha1 would be one of lhe
things lhat would be importanl lo our cilizcns, is that by October 31 " we arc supposed to have this review
clone . 111at that really fits wilhin the overall plan, or project tirnelinc, that we had established early on.
Mr. Waggoner opined that thal would be important for them to know. that there really isn't a delay or
anything like that. thal it fits righl in with 1he previously proposed lime schedule . Mayor Bums noced that
the lasl paragraph in the middle said "make final recommendations for site dcvelopmcnt by the cod af
October." Mr. Waggoner said he must have missed thal.
(vi) Council Member Habenichl :
I . She said she agreed lhat it is time to do another release . She commented that if people arc oul
there, questioning and nOI quile sure whal ii is 1hcy arc doing. ii is clear thal maybe we need to get more
news out there about ii . She opined 1ha1 it really is exciting and lhat we arc really looking al 1ransi1
oriented development options for 1ha1 site and really looking al the assets our community has and really
doing something to look toward lhat. She said it is exciting and she is really happy about it. Council
Member Habenicht stated she really wanled to thank the Slaff for bringing it forward and bringing thcsc
people to our altenlion, that contacted the City. She opined dial it is uncdling dial we can all be YCIY,
YCIY pn,ud of and panicipale in.
2 . She stated she wanted to thank Council Member Oapp for pi1&)41acting oa wllal Council
Member Nabholz said about tnlCk traffic. Council Member Habenicht advised dull she bas been dealing
with Slaff. and talked to llC\'Cral Council members over the ... IC\'Cl'III months, regarding a situation oa
Union between Federal and the Platte of truck 1raffic in an R-1-A l.one thal has been just so troublesome
to people for so very long. She opined thal Council really needs to look al the whole area of tnlCk traffic
and maybe that piece loo. She advised she would like to do a study on that, a study session that would
disc:uss that and maybe bring up this issue as well .
3. She advised that she too will be altending National Night Out . She said she asked~ this
evening if they arc going to eight pot lucks if they need to bring eight pot lucks dishes and we cloa 't. Ms.
Habenicht said she just thought she would share that because she feels uncomfonable axning empty
handed . She noted she mighl stop in al a few more if she has the chance. that it is a wonderful . wonderful
cvenl. She commented that it has become almost as special in Englewood as our Founh of July. our
parade and CVCl)1hing else. She said she thinks we really all get out and talk to each other and thal is
wonderful .
(vii) Mayor Bums:

I . He commented thal also in the press release. where ii refers to the final recommendations by the
end or October by CRNA and Compass, it says also "during that time Englewood officials and Equitable
real estate, the current owner or the mall, anticipate completion or their negotiations which will transfer
ownership to the City." So, Mayor Bums explained. they are hoping that during the time they are doing
the additional work with CRNA that they can nail down the Equitable agreement . He noted it takes about
60 days for an ordinance to become affective and that is the vehicle we have to use for that. So, he said, it
will be 60 to 90 days before that is complete anyway and by that time we should have the report back from
CRNA and Compass.
2 . Mayor Bums said there were a couple of other things he forgot he was going to bring up at Study
Session but they didn't have time . He asked who does the maintenance on the panels at Oxford on South
Santa Fe. He IIOled there arc a lot of weeds growing there now and they arc beginning to look a little bit
unsightly. He said he was wondering whose responsibility it is to maintain that . Acting City Manager
Esterly noted that location is in the City or Sheridan. Actually. Mr. Esterly said. he and Jerrell Black
visited that very site at lunch time toda)'. He advised that Interim Assistant City Manager Black is going
to be in contact with the City or Sheridan to see ir they would like for us to do that maintenance for them
and talk about how we might be compensated for doing that.
3. Mayor Bums asked what is the completion date for the Windermere project. Acting City
Manager Esterly advised that he does not know what the completion date is, but that they also drove over
the bridge this afternoon. So. he noted. the bridge is now open but there is a lot of the improvements to
that and finishing up that are not complete. And or course, he said, they are just starting to get into the S
curve aligmnent right now and it looks like that is getting ready to be paved very shortly too. Mr. Esterly
stated that it is his expectation that by the end or the summer or the beginning or the fall that that is going
to be opened up. He noted that has really improved the appearance or that area quite a bit . Mayor Bums
agreed that it has.
He said he noticed that right at Belleview too they arc doing curb and guttering around those traffic
control lights. He asked iJ there will be some landscaping between the comer and the fencing for the
ballparks and also the miniature golf He asked iJ that is going to be finished oft". Acting City Manager
Eslcrly stated they would have to pull out the PUD and see whal is planned in there. He said he finds it
hard to believe lherc will be areas left untouched. lllerc arc a variety ol corncn in there. but on the
nortbcasl comer there is a meandering sidewalk that is relatively altradive. Mr. Esterly said thal it is bis
prcsumplion that the space between the meandering sidewalk that we allowod in that location and the curb
line is going to be landscaped in some manner. He noted he does not have the dclails on that. but that
they can go back and review the PUD and sec what those details arc.
Council Member Habenicht advised that she has had several comments. people commenting that they
were sorry to sec the loss or trees near the nature area there. the par\ing area there. She said she wanted
to verify that her understanding is that Parks and Rec will be replanting thal area. that there will be some
trees added there . Interim Assistant City Manager Black advised that is part or the project .
Regarding the bike path project through Belleview Park, Mayor Bums commented that he had noticed
they have taken a fairly good swath on either side ol the concrete .-th as they go along and he said he
wondered if that would be rcmediated somehow when that 's finished . Mr . Black advised that it should be.
He noted that they will have to review both the bridge project and the bike path project and see where that
fits . But, he stated. it is his understanding thal trees will be planled in that area and they will cmainly
address the other areas nc"t to the bridge and adjacent lo the path. Mayor Bums said he thinks this is
really going to be quilc a project before ii is through . He noted he was sure it will lake a couple olyears,
but if South Suburban Park Foundation and our cities can get that bike path over to the South Plane River

and then connect ii up on the cast side wilh lhe Highline Canal that will be quite a bike palh by the time it
is through. Mr. Black stated we arc moving forward with lhat project .
Also, Council Member Habenicht said, she thinks ii is time to stan talking seriously about seeing that bike
palh connection from the creek that goes through Cinderella City and across Danmouth. She opined we
really need to get a bike path there for those people who live in that seciion of the City too, access to the
Arapahoe Greenway. Ms. Habenicht commenred that she thinks we need to remind ounclves thal that is
an imponant thing to do.
(viii) Council Member Habenicht said she wanled to share lhal her daughter just
came home, thal she hasn '1 been here since Christlllas and Ibey brought her back from the airpon along
Santa Fe. She said her daughter commented "wow, Ibis is really beautiful." Ms . Habenicht said she just
wanted to thank the City for the beautiful landscaping they have done, the beautiful yellow tiger lily's and
the pink roses and all of that . She said it is very attractive and it was son of neat to have somebody not
sec it for awhile and sec the change and just be wide eyed about it. She said she wanted to compliment
staff on thal.
Mayor Bums commented thal he wanted to thank Mr. Esterly for Ille idea of switching those funds wilh
the South Windermere project and the landllcaping. so lhat we were in control of the landscaping. He said
it makes him feel good. with all of the Tri.Cities meelings that we have had to make sure that we push the
landscaping on lhe South Santa Fe project . When it is finished it will make all of the difference in the
world with the way that looks.
Council Member Habenicht said she thinks they really should give the credit to Council Member
Vonnittag. because she though! it was initially his idea and staff who picked up on it and made it real.
She noted lhcy made it happen. but Mr. Vormittag came up with it.
(ix) Council Member Waggoner advised that there was some concern about the
parking IOI off of Windennere and how raising the grade on Windermere will affect that . He asked
Acting City Manager Esterly what is happening on that. Mr. Esterly stated that judging by what is going
on out there today. the pa,\ing IOI is gone and is in the process of being n:plaa:d. He DOied he is not quite
sure where the responsibilities play out betwccn thc l>qJanmcnt of Transponation dealing with the acccss,
which was DIO\'ed further 10 the IDUlh . And ID how much of that is going 10 be done • pal1 of the
Windenncrc Project and then the remainder of the projcc1 bciag done • pan of the bike trail projcc1 down
below . So. be advised. there arc: two picca of activity in 1h11 area and he is not quite sure whal the
overlap is. But they WCR very clearly grading a -acccss road clown into the puking lol right -and
were re-grading the entire pa.ting lot.
Council Member Waggoner noted we were talking about using some Allen sludge for fill on that at one
time. Mr. Esterly said yes. al one lime we were . But. Mr. Waggoner said. we are not anymore. Mr.
E&terly advised thal currently we haven ·1 been .
(x) Mayor Bums said he has had a few comments from people asking whether
there is sufficienl access by the businesses along Windcnncre and the S curve when we finish . He
oommcnted that he knows that has been an issue for some time and he lhought a lot of thole iaucs have
been resolved . Acting City Manager E&terly advised that many of those iaues have been resolved . The
bigger issue about access has been our adhering to some require1ncnts regarding site distance and
driveway access and how much land the Dcpanment of Transportation has 10 acquire. In -cues Ibey
have taken enough of the land thal in combination with the sire distance requirements around the curve. 10
provide a safe driveway. that one inlerprctation could be that lhe State needs to be buying more land lhan
they are buying. He advised that is actually in discussion right now , between our Dcpanmcnt. the

Mayor Burns asked Mr. Esterly lo keep Council up lo date on that.
13 . City Manar;er'1 Report
(a) Acting City Manager Esterly said that Council Member Waggoner had asked that we
make sure 10 contact the City of Fon Collins 10 see if there was anything we could do lo help out with
their flood issues. Mayor Burns commented that he was glad he brought that up, that he was going to ask
that also. Mr. Esterly noted that in fact , initially, ii was difficult lo make any son of a phone contact. He
said Safety Services, through our emergency coordinator, made contact through police communications
syslCIIIS that Ibey had available 10 lhem. Mr. Esterly advised lhal we made the offer of help lo their
emergency management agency and at this point in lime Ibey have not gotten back to us with any sort of
requests. We have re-initiated the offer on at leaSI two occasions. 10 make sure that they know we are
available, ifwe can help them out, typically in the area of public works. with the equipment, staffing or
anything we can do 10 help and they haven't asked us lo help at this point in time. He staled we are
prepared 10 help. Mayor Bums said he was glad the offer was open. He said he was 1hinking of the area
of public works and he was glad Council Member Waggoner brought lhal up . Bui, he DOied. they seem to
be gelling a lot of help up there, that he thought their challenge was lo manage all of the help Ibey are
getting. Mr. Esterly said he was sure that is a big pan of their problem right now. is just managing what
Ibey have.
(b) Acting City Manager Esterly staled the Olher issue he wanted lo talk on was the status of
the Compass, the CRNA project. that the Mayor and several other folks have mentioned this evening. He
advised that staff has been working with the group and having some initial discussions. They are
anticipating that the kick-off meeting for team orientation is going lo be on August 25"'. He noted that a
time and a place for such a meeting has yet to be determined. 1bc group is looking toward a team of
approximately tbiny members 10 be included. He said they have been la.lking with Englewood about a
representation that might consist of about ten folks . The City government would be contributing about
three to five people. they are looking for panicipation by perhaps two Council members. Mr. Eslerly
noted that Council should keep in mind that this is all subject to ncgocialion with them. but that thclc are
their suggestions. He said they are looking for panicipalion by two Council Members, nw ...« IIIClllbcrs .
He said he WOllld. at this point in lime. n,commend Neighborhood Businca DeYClopmcnl and Public
Works in that ua. 1bc other staff member, he said, would be the Eaglcwood Houli• Alltllorily, ._
we think we have 10111C really good expertise there in Cheryl St. Clair IO Ft lier ript iao Mllllier pnljea
already. They would be looking for two people from the community llllt. lie aid.. lie WOllllt Cllpecl
Council would want to nominate who those people are and appoint ti-IO it Mditioaally, lie adviled.
one representative from the Englewood Downtown Dcvclopmcnt Audlority. one from pcrhapl citlier the
Cultural Commission or the Library . that type of activity, and one from the Chamber of Conuacn:e . He
said he would suppose Council could talk about whether they want to have someone from the Chamber of
Commcn:c who is on their board or someone from their staff or leave ii up to the Chamber ol Conunen::c
10 decide how they would like to be represented on that group . In addition to that. Mr . Ellerly DOied.
there will be ten of us and twenty of them and the Miller/Kitchell group would be in their allO.
Council Member Waggoner said it seems like we left out one importanl group, EDDA. Mayor Bums and
Council Member Nabholz noted he mentioned EDDA. Acting City Manager Eslerfy advilCd 111111 EDDA
-mentioned in there and that is pretty important because this is in the ua COYCl'ed by EDDA ud they
are in the D isuict and whatever this future development is Ibey will be paying taxes into that Dislrid too .
Council Member Waggoner noted that they have that middle segment o(the Broadway Plan too . Mr.
Esterly said yes .

Mayor Bums asked Mr. Esterly if they could possibly have a memo on this. Mr. Esterly said yes . Mayor
Bums noted that he felt it would be very helpful to have a memo. Mr. Esterly said he would guarantee a
memo, because they will probably be looking for a Council affinnation by motion . Fil'SI of all. he advised.
to participate in this activity we have just in general discussed this al Study Session and have taken no
formal action 10 actually authorize these folks 10 proceed ahead. And, he said. they will probably want to
lake some official action lo appoint team members and designate people from the public. So, he said. in
looking forward lo the eighteenth they will be gelling this memo out to Council and between now and
then they will have to be coming up with the candidate lists.
Mayor Bums asked if they could get some idea about what the time commitment is going to be. how many
meetings they anticipate. Mr. Esterly said yes. He advised that he and Mr. Simpson discussed that today
and they wcrcn 't prepared ID answer that question. Mr. Esterly explained that the other thing that seems
ID be imponant too is when the time commitments need to be made, if it will be during the wortday or
after the wortday or that type of activity. Council Member Vonnittag said they would want lo know how
long they would be . Mr . Esterly agreed because. he noted. some folks in one scenario might want to be
involved and in another they couldn't participate.
(c) Acting Cily Manager Esterly said he wanted to remind everyone that the 1narke1 de1nand
for a downtown hotel in Englewood report should have been in everybody's packet . And. he commented,
at some future lime. if there is an imcrcst. they can schedule it for further discussion al study session. Bui ,
he noted. he would await Council's request for that . Mayor Bums said he thought there was an interest
Council Member Habenicht asked if they could possibly refer that lo be part of the information that goes
to that CRNA group. Mr. Esterly said certainly. Ms. Habenicht suggested that maybe after that might be
a better time to discuss it . Mayor Bums opined that that would apropos to do that . Council Member
Vonninag said also to hear what their recommendation is .
• • • • •
Ma)'Or Bums advised that he talked lo Cheryl St. Clair and she had gotten her head together with Mark
Graham on the application lo EPA lo have the City designated as a Showcase City and one other
1ngmlicnt was they wanted three federal agencies 10 be involved in participating in that if that were
acluc\'CCI . He DOied that one of tlicm they were thinking about was HUD. and they were having a little
trouble figuring out how HUD would participate in this. He lilaled that Ms . St . Clair has advised him that
~ goi tCJFlhcr and figuml it out and they have proposed HUD as the third agency . He advised that
EPA would be one and he thought the other one would be the Dc:partmcnt of Labor . Mayor Bums s&alCd
thal it oompleUld the applialtioa and they were able to wort on dull klldhcr and gct thal application in in
a full form . Council Member Habenicht asked which application that was . Mayor Bums asked if she
remcalbcred the BrownflCld Grant . Ms. Habenicht said yes . Mayor Bums explained that there is another
designation for only ten cities in the country that we were invited to submit . He said he thought the initial
submittal went in earlier in the spring by EPA to be declared a Showcase City and what that means is you
gct extra help in revitalizing industrial sites by networking with housing clements. job training and that
son of thing. So . he advised. this completes that application. He noted that the local EPA administration
requested that Englewood submit this because with all or the things that are going on in the City.
economic redevelopment . transportation and C\'er)1hing else. they thought there were so many
components of the change and advancemelll in Englewood that it would make a good candidate for a
Showcase City . He said he is not sure when this will be decided. but that it would be quite a coup for the
City ifwe were only one often in the country designated by the National EPA. But. be commented. they
told us locally thal we have a chance at this. Council Member Vortnittag asked if ii would be this year.
Mayor Bums said he thought ii was probable. but 1ha1 they may be able to find out from Mr. Graham. He
pointed oul 1ha1 that is a nice. initial coordination between the Housing Authority and the City.

come: 10 the City and discuss some of the initial items raised in those meetings. get some direction and
disclose the name and so fonh . He s:1id that is re.illy all he had in the way of a repon. that he would be
glad to answer any questions.
Council Member Wiggins said he didn 't have a questions. but he had a comment. He advised that
Council is in possession of a fax from RTO and he thought Mr. Loss should pass it on to Mr. Miller and
the Kitchell people that he feels it is the consensus of Cow1cil that they are not interesled at all in any
changes from the original location of the RTD station. Mr. Wiggins opined it is going to be a problem
that needs to be discussed and that Council as a whole feels that RTO should stay where they had planned
to go. how they had to build it and everything else. with no modifications. Contrary. he noted. to what
Skip Miller was showing Council rcccntly .
Mr. Loss asked if that was a lener that Council sent lo RTD . Council Member Wiggins advised it was a
letter dated July 17"' which was selll lo Mr. Still and a copy was given 10 each Council member just this
evening. He said. as they all read it over. he thought Council was in concurrence. that they leave the RTO
station where it was originally planned . Regardless of what Skip Miller had lined out in the plans he had
given Council a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Wiggins opined that he would 1101 find Council receptive to
moving it. Mr. Loss stated that "~is sure the kind of thing they should get some immediate feedback on.
Mr. Wiggins agreed. stating they need lo get it nailed down n::11 quick. but that he just gave him a hint
that this Council member is not going 10 change. He stated that he is in favor of what RTO originally laid
out. Mr . Loss asked if they will gel a copy of that lener in due course or if ii is something he can pick up.
Mayor Bums asked Acting City Ma1~1gcr Esterly what kind of now of infonnation n::tlly goes between the
developer and RTD on this. what process do we l~tvc for conununic:11ion . Mr. Esterly staled that his
expectation is that there is no problem w11h us sharing 11~11 as that was not a confidential communication.
He pointed out that it is basic.illy a response 10 their concerns and hopefully some of these concerns have
already been expressed to the ~-eloper. not in writing. but iu conversations. because they have been in
continuous conversation with RTD about this issue. He said he believes the purpose of the memo was 10
clarify RTD 's position in writing for the benefit of the City of Englewood. City Council.
Council Member Wiggins gave Mr . Loss his copy of the lener.
Maycw Bums indicated he is just concerned about the now of infonna11on and commumcation. Because.
he nolCd. if we are going 10 commnnic.11c by lencrs. and plans that RTD doesn 't sec. and then letters back
from RTD. that it seems lo be a prcny awkward process . Co1111c1I Member Wiggins said he agrees.
Mayor Bums suggested it could. perhaps. be 1mplcmen1ed bener.
Council Member Nabholz stated that she agreed with Council Member W1gg111s . She advised that last
Monday. in the Rocky Mow11ain News . there "~•s an anicle where it proposed the development and how
they had designed the light rail station and it is being moved . Ms. Nabholz said she was really surprised
to see that that had not been discussed with RTD at any point. She stated she is in total agreement that
this light rail station not be moved . We l~tvc worked too long and hard and. she advised. she has
concerns with that area. with the traffic imp,1ct 01111~11 neighborhood.
Mr . Loss commc:med that hopefi1lly everybody. by now. understands that the drawings. renderings and
ideas. that they have produced from time to time. arc general in nature and far from anything they are
recommending or saying is where they think it should be . This kind of response :md feedback . he noted.
is whal this is all about. They wam 10 collccuvcly. and wuh everybody's input. hear things like that . Mr.
Loss said be agreed with the Mayor ll~ll it is a Jillie bit awkward he would guess to have Council wri1c a
lellcr to RID saying that they are disagrccmg with wl~ll w,: :ire saying. Mayor Bums and several Council
1111:mbcrs advised Mr. Loss that they did not write a lener. Mayor Burns reiterated that Council did aot

wrile a leuer. 1ba1 these arc jUSI con1111c111s . He noted 1ba1 be fell Mr. Loss 's poinis are well taken . 1ha1
this is a work in progress and nothing is c:1S1 111 concrete. 8111 . he pointed 0111 . that some1hing as
importalll as lhe loc:Jlion of 1be RTD S1 :11 io11 . where we have an lntcrgovemmcntal Agreement wilh lhem
to plan thal. tha1 he fell it would be helpful 10 somehow have some communicauon. if 1hcy arc moving ii
around in their suggcs1ed plans. You bet. Mr . Loss commcnlcd. and hopefully this idea tha1 they show up
for every meeting. and imposing and hoping 10 be included in a lot of the study sessions. is the one real
easy way thal he can 1hink of for 1hcm 10 have this kind of forum and face 10 face SlulT. And obviously. he
said, they will continue 10 work with the Slaff and lhcn communicating in lhcir normal fashion . Mr. Loss
advised that they arc all in favor of keeping those lines properly luncd up.
Council Member Vom1i11ag said be wanted 10 talk about that five acres in the back. 1ha1 Skip Miller keeps
making plans for lhal is 1101 included in the projccl. He asked Ci1y Allomey Brotzman if 1ha1 is not right.
Mr. Brotzman explained ii was really an issue . 1ba1 was suddenly in lhe development lasl lime. He staled
that needs 10 have a discussion as 10 whether 1ha1 is or is 1101 in the project. Mr . Loss agreed and noted
that in a way ii is quilc similar 10 the idc:1 of the loc;uion of lhc s1a1io11 . wlucb 1s a linlc bil different 1ban
whal people have seen before. The idc:1 was. he s.ud. lhal in 1bc co111i1111111g cvolulion of 1bcsc 1l1111gs. they
came lo a realization that 1be cos1 of maintaining and keeping 1ha1 deck may be close 10 prohibitive .
Which caused 1bem 10 lake a look and s.1 y. if 1h:u is lhe case. lets sec whal 01her alternatives exisl. TI1e
use of that nonhwcs1 101 was an allemative. he s.1id . And ag.1111 . he commented. ii would be incorrect 10
assume lhal Ibey arc assuming that 111111 is 1berc and 1ba1 is how they are going 10 do ii . Mr. Loss advised
thal ii is something they think should be considered. bul obviously they arc 1101 in lhe posilion 10 suggCSI
that ii has to be 1herc or 1ha1 lhcrc are 1101 other ahern:Uivcs . 8111. he 1101ed . nmybc 1ba1 gets back 10
communication. He comme111ed 1ha1 they whipped lhal thing 0111 al the las1 meeting and obviously 1ha1
cn:aled a IOI of concerns and ma ybe they didn ·1 do a good job of explaining ii or gelling 1ha1 idea oul in a
time earlier than that meeting. Any way. he said. 1hcy arc considering 1ha1 as a potential alternative and
they need lo know if1herc are other uses planned or reasons 1ha11bc City docs11 ·1 want lo consider 1ba1 .
Mayor Bums staled 1ha1 some of these things 1hcy arc discussing in E.xccutive Session 100. because there
are other issues involved with the ownership of some of these areas. He opined that they have 10 keep an
open mind on where these things :ire going 10 go . 8111. he pointed out. that they also need 10 know, and
they are discussing. who controls these sites and what an: the implications of acquisilion. 1ransfer and so
forth . He Slated thal some of those arc legal and some of those arc la.'1 and other issucs lhal Ibey arc
discussing in Execulive Session . So Ibis. he opined. is 1101 a set mailer a1 all al Ibis poinl. Bui. Mayor
Bums 5lalcd. he fell the reactions Mr. Loss is gelling on the station are certainly valid.
Council Member Nabhol z asked if she 1111dcrs1ood Mr . Loss righl. that he said 1ha1 they would finalize the
PUD aboul lhe first week of August. Mr . Loss s.1id yes .

So. Council Member Vorminag asked Mayor Bums. if he gels clccled again if it would affect him . Mayor
Bums said yes .
So. Council Member Vonninag said. 1hcre is the 111011011 . COUNCIL MEMBER NABHOLZ
OFFERED A SECOND.
Council Member Wiggins asked if he can justify why he 1hough1 I his should come about. Because.
Council Member Vonninag noted. it hasn·1 been done since l'J7<J and it docs take a lot of work and a lot
of lime. He opined 1ha1 ifwe have 1he higher pay we will get more people gelling involved and wanting
IO run. Mr. Vonninag stated 1h:u this S.JIHl now is nolhing compared 10 whal ii was in 1979. He nolcd it
was some money 1hcn . Bui . he said. 1ha1 is 1hc way he feels aboul ii .
Council Member Clapp s1a1ed she just wamed to share wilh Council that she received an anicle. which
she thought was from 1hc Linlclon Sentinel. thal 1hc Linlcton Council is not only proposing lhat they raise
the amounts for their Council members. but signilicanlly mor:: 111:111 what Council Member Vonnittag was
suggesting. She said she lhoughl ii was S 1.IKKl for Council members. SI Al Kl for Mayor Pro Tem and
Sl.800 for Che Ma~or . So . she noted . in looking al ii all . 1he big pic1urc. 1ha1 she feels that what Mr .
Vonnittag is propo sing is prclly modcs1.
Mayor Bums said he would have 10 agree wi1h 1ha1. He said he 1hough1 Lakewood just went over a
Sl.000 a month and he 1hough1 ArYada was higher 11~111 11~11 too . He co111111cn1ed 1ha1 lhey are larger
cities tban we arc of course aud lhcy have a 101 or dcvclop111c111. Bui . he said. as ii has been almost 20
years since they ha,·c had a raise and . lhinking aboul all 11~11 lhcy have on the plate right now for the City
of Englewood. 1ha11his really is a r:11hcr modest increase.
Council Member Vormillag poi111ed 0111111:11 i1 won ·1 C\'cn alTcct most of Council for another two years if
they get reelected .
Council Member Habeu1cl11 said 11~11 if 1hcy do 1his she rc:ill y fcl11ha1 Council should scnously consider.
and she would eu1cna111 to do a 11ao11ou nc,1 lune after Council thmks about 11. 1ha1 back when we were in
a real. real fina11c1al cmuch . \\'C seriousl y cunailcd a lot of 1l11ngs in our budget. Oue of IIIOSC 1hings was
that we used to p:1~ a salar)'. she 1hough1 by Cl~incr. 10 our Planning and Zoning Commission members
bc:causc of1he q1•1s1-Jud1 c 1al S1a111s and also 1he Board of Adj11s11nc111 and Appeals . Ms . Habemcht said
she thought they slopped domg 11 10 P & Z members and she knows 1hcy pul III an awful lot of 111ne . She
said she though! 11 wa s a very lokcn amoum and 11~11 Council should reinstate that. And maybe . she said.
if indeed we have co mmission members \\ho arc serving al lhcsc uuponm11 levels 1ha11hey need to review
those salarics/Slipcnds as well .
Council Member Vonuinag said piggy backmg ou 111:11 1ha1 maybe lhey c:111 do a Cotmcil request to Dan
Brotzman to find out what other cllics arc pa ymg IIIOSC positions nmybc for two weeks from now in their
packet . JUSI to lind 0111 what is going on .
Council Member Clapp said she just wanted 10 sl~are a piece 11~11 she though! came from Coonc,hnan
Doug Clark in Linlc1ou l1~11 proposed 1hc salal')' increases . She no1cd 11~11 111 his words he basically called
th.:m all weirdoes . She com111c111cd lhal 111 so n~my words 1hcy have 1hcsc weirdo jobs and so1ne a rc either
taking away from 1hcir normal profession 10 n~1kc an income or 1hcy arc bemg docked . 111 some cases.
she noted. we arc fonu1~11c enough to l~l\·c some of our re1ired c11i1.ens who can put in the tune. She
commented that Mr . Clark said 11~11 ci1her/or . bot1om li11c . he rc:1lly didn 't want the wealthy do1mnating
the Council in any given Cit y. lh:it he 1hoogh1 11~11 was a bad idc:1 . She pomtcd out that was just lus

perspective of things. She said she 1hough11ha1 was intercsting, 1hat you do11'1jus1 want people that can
afford to do iL you really want a well balanced Council.
Mayor Bums said he thought that was a good point. He said he might point out that in tile Metro Mayor's
Caucus he has come to find out that a lot of the very active mayors in the front range a,c not employed
and some of them have worked in their communities long enough where they are retired from the jobs that
they had. Some, he noted. have working sponscs and some may have independent wealth. but it allows
them to put in an enonnous amount of time. This is how. he noled. you get a chair of the DRCOG board
or the Metro Mayor's Caucus or the Transit 97 Committee and things like that. He said you can just sit
there and watch and count heads and sec who mns lheir owu business. who has a job and who docsn ·1.
Mayor Bums opined it makes an enormous difference in how much 1ime you can really put in10 these.
But he said. he thinks at the same time they should have an incentive 10 do lhe work. not become a
professional, political operation. He Slated ii ccnainly does make a difference with someone like him
where he runs an office where he has to pay ovcrhc:1d every month before he ever draws funds to live on.
He said it is quite a challenge 10 do thm . Mayor Burns complimented anyone who docs that because, he
said. it is an cffon.
Council Member Habenicht said 11~11 she thinks i1 is imponant 10 recognize 1hat 1his is hasn't been done
since 1979. Prior 10 that she lhoughl lhe i1111ial salary wilh 1hc Chaner in 1')50 something was $SO . Ms.
Habenicht stated 11~11 she knows 1hcrc arc a 101 of people in I his communi1y 1ha1 feel 1his should really be a
volunteer position . She noted 1hcy rc:11ly resist hav111g 1hc pay be 100 high. bcc:msc 1hey also don ·1 want it
to be something where 1he only rc:1son you would scr\'C is to gc1 the money . But that the reason you want
to serve is because of an altmist1e sense ofbe111g a citizen rcprcscntatl\C 10 1hc commumty. Ms.
Habenicht said thal she docs11 ·11hink thal 1hc figures Council Member Vornullag 1s supponmg would m
anyway detract from that . She opined th:11 it is indeed citizen rcprescntauon and 111s not somebody that is
going to go after it. She stated 1his will never affect her. so she will definitely suppon 11 .
Council Member Vonnittag asked if he needed 10 put a date oa1 there where it comes into affect or should
they do this by resolution. City Attorney Bro1zma11 advised that the Chaner will control when it takes
affect. Mr. Vormittag asked if tonight would be the fii~tl 53)' or if it comes back as a resolution. Mr.
Brotzman stated he would bnug it back to Council in :1 resolution fonnat so they can sec ii. So. Mr.
Vonnittag said. they should \'Ole on it now. Act1~1lly . Ci1y Auonicy Brot1.ma11 said. tlicy don ·1 even need
to vote on it. that he will bring II back 10 Council 111 a resolu11011 fonu .
(iii) Council Member Wiggins advised Act111g Ci1y Ma1~1ger Esterly that lhe
southwest comer house at Chenango and Delaware has a big dead 1rcc 111 1he back end that really stands
out . He commented 11~11 Code Enforcement might look at the entire place. 11~11 it really looks bad. But.
be said. Ibey better have !hem take 11~11 dc:1d lrcc 0111 . Mr. ES1crly advised 1hcy will have someone look at
that.
(iv) Council Member Clapp:
I. She stated she wan1ed to thank Code Enforcement. and Chris Olson especially. for getting on that
dead tree at Tufts and Grant . He did 1ha1 rc:11ly quickly. she smd. and she really appnx:ia1es that
2 . She commented that she was asked a question about Orchard Place and 1hat Mayor Burns may or
may not know at this poi111 in time. 8111 ii has lx.-cn smd. she noted. 1ha1 1hc Phillips ' have resigned.
Mayor Bums said that is wh.11 he undcrst:mds. Ms. Clapp said okay. th.II ii isjUSI out there and she
doesn't know whal to say . Mayor Burns said he knows and he is not sure ifhc is even supposc to say, but
that he has been 1old by the Exce111ive Director that that is lruc.

under the impression Iha! he was appoimcd 10 bolh lhe Housing Au1hori1y and lhe Board of Adjustmenl
and Appeals by the Council . Ms . Clapp s1.11cd ii is her undersianding 1ha1 Council only recommended
him for the Board of Adjus1men1 and Appc;1ls . Mayor Bums Slalcd Ihm is righl, as legally 1ha1 is all
Council can do. l11e Council can recommend an appoinunenl 10 1he Board of Adjusunenl and Appeals he
noted. lbe recommendalion 10 lhe Housing Au1hori1y. he advised. is always a rccommendalion because
legally Council doesn ·1 appoinl 1he members of 1he Housing Au1hority . Mayor Bums was asked who
makes the appoinunems . He advised lhal 1he Mayor does. 1ha1 lhe Mayor is 1he only person men1ioned in

was the sum of$7,000 when he aclually only owed S7UO , he wenl back and lried 10 claim 1he difference
and the Supreme Coun said no . you c.111 '1. So. Ms . Clapp said. 1he poim she is making is she is
wondering what kind of alTecl 11~11 will h:1\"c on. say any kind of laxes paid lo 1he City 1ha1 we are 1101
really entitled 10. Ci1y Allomcy Bro1zma11 advised 1ha1 normally wh:11 happens 0111he i111eres1 paymelll is

Society . And Ms . Habenicht asked . when th ey arc done with i i. 1f they would please share it with the
Englewood Cullural Council. Also . she s;1id . there was information from the Center of the American
West that was very interesting and she just thought it could be copied for everybod y. Ms . Habenicht said
she wanted to thank May or Bums for copying the information 011 spiral dynamics . but that she thought
she would leave a color copy there in the City Manager 's office . Also. she noted. Mayor Bums already
has a>pies of all of the fonnal business. but she offered another copy if anybody would like to have it.
Also, she advised. she didn 'l have a chance to ancnd the transponation strategies for the next century. but
that she did get a copy of all of those materials for whoever would want to look at them. She said she was
thinking of either Council Member Waggoner or Mayor Bums. She asked if Mayor Bums had attended
that one. Mayor Bums said 110. that it looked interesting but that he thought he was at the City Allomey 's
session at that time. Couucil Member Habenicht s;1id she just wanted to share with Council the one on
Aronson's talk about public issues and there was information on a National Leader.;hip Summit sponsored
by the National League of Cities which will be taking place in Colorado Springs in August . She noted
that some of our Council member.; might want to consider ancnding that . as it is a National Conference
and here in Colorado . She opined this might be a good thing 10 do . Ms . Habenicht said she looking
through some of her past things and Council was talking last time at their Study Session about working
with our community to develop son of a code commission . One of the 1l1111gs she said she thought she
would share, is infonnation she gleaned from the Conference from the Cit y of Loveland . which docs a
number of volunteer things. They also have a volunteer program to help remove dead trees when people
have them. as Council Member Wiggins was pointing 0111. She commented that EFOT . Englewood
Focusing on Tomorrow. was talking to Council about perhaps being invol ved and ready to work with the
City to help people who arc in need . This. she s;1id. is a volunteer program 1h;11 seems 10 be working in
Loveland that might help . She suggested that inforn~uion go 10 whoever 1s working on that program .
3 . She said she 100 enjoy ed Tent Talk and she 11 :nued 10 al so thank staff and our bn s111ess
community. our Cl~tmber of Commerce . Sh e ad, 1scd that sc,eral or them l~1d the oppon111111 y to ancnd

appreciation for them being here . She opined that all of Co1111c1l and all of the citi,.cns of this community
cenainly do value and recognize the 11npona11cc of our business conununity to us . She said it was a real
honor and a real pleasure to be there and to be a pan of it. Ms . Habenicht commented that Mayor Bums
did a very nice job of opening the presentation and presenting cvcrythmg. She said she also wanted to

and the relationslup between th e s1a1T a nd the b11 s111css co1111111111i1 y. Ma }or Bums opmed that we reall y
arc doing a good job. One of the reasons why we were there . he advised . 1s because the Enterpnsc Zone
had quile a bit to do with Hudson Gardens and An Scibelli 1s the head of the Arapahoe County Enterprise
Zone District and he docs a line job on tl~n . So . he noted . there was an Englewood co1111c:ctio11 with that .

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date Agenda Hem Subject
August 4, 1997 10cili Scroll Centrifuge Modifications
Initiated By Staff Source
Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment
Plant Supervisory Committee Stewart H. Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The proposed action is to approve by Motion a bid award for the modification of the Scroll Centrifuges
to the low bidder, Centrisys Corporation, in the amount of $553,682.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND AL TEANATIVES IDENTIFIED
Scroll centrifuges are used in the solids handling facility to separate liquid from biosolids prior to
transporting to the farm for application on wheat fields. The UE WWTP has four centrifuges that are
used for this purpose; two are configured for dewatering, two are configured for thickening.
The centrifuges were manufactured in 1981 and have been in service at the UE WWTP since 1983.
All four units are in superior condition and will be installed in the new solids handling facility, which will
be completed during the Phase lb project.
Two centrifuges that are currently being used for thickening biosolids need to be converted to
dewatering units in order to be reused . One unit that is currently being used for dewatering will receive
a new drive motor, motor control and hydraulic backdrive. The fourth unit will be used for spare parts.
Refurbishing three of the existing units will eliminate the need to purchase three new units at a cost of
$2,000,000 .
Specifications for this work were written and bids were solicited. Centrisys Corportion was the only
responsive bidder. Their bid is in the amount of $553,682.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The purchase is budgeted for 1997. The cost of the Scroll Centrifuge Modifications will be split 50/50
with the City of Littleton as a capital expense.
