Mayor Burns note that this is really to get an update. because at the last regular Council meeting they had
a lot of people ~ m Orchard Place come and express their concerns about the administration of that
building by the Englewood Housing Authority . He advised that Mary Ryan-Ozburn. who has been the
Acting Director, is here tonight with tlic new Director of the Englewood Housing Authority Cheryl St.
Clair. Mayor Burns stated that today is Ms. St. Clair's first day on Ilic job. He stated there was a Housing
Authority meeting Wednesday and Council received a memo as a result of that and it was also given to the
tenants. He asked Ms. St . Clair to come up to the microphone and introduce herself to Council. Mayor
Burns pointed out that Ms. St. Clair was not at tlic meeting last Wednesday as she was not on the job yet.
He stated !hat Ms . St . Clair comes to us with a vast amount of experience from the Denver Housing
Authority and tbe Denver Urban Renewal Authority and tliey are very happy to have her. He welcomed
Ms. St. Clair.
Ms. St. Clair introduced herself and stated she is looking forward to being here and working with the City
of Englewood and the Housing Authority . She noted that. as Mayor Burns said. this is her first day so she
is really not up to speed on the issues. So, she said, she would like to tum it over to Ms. Ryan-Ozburn and
let her give Council Ilic update on Orchard Place.
Ms . Ryan-Ozburn Slated that she Im been the Acting Executive Director for the Englewood Housing
Authority. She noted that. as Mayor Bums stated. they had a Board Meeting Wednesday night, Jwie 25"'.
She advised that at the Board Meeting they convened at the Malley Center to talk with residcnls about
their cona:rns and to listen to their concerns. Ms. Ryan-Ozburn staled they have set up a COIUlnillee . Ms .
St. Clair, two Commissioners· Debbie Medlock and Matt lmies. and some stalTfrom the Housing
Authority are on the committee. So. she noted. they can RICCI with the residents on an individual basis or
on a group basis and liear their concerns and address their concerns. She advised they are also discussing
the idea of submilling a questionnaire or a survey to the residents of Orchard Place to ask them what their
conccms are. so thcy can get more of a feel for what tlic basic issues an: at this point with the different
groups .
Council Member Habenicht noted slic was 0111 of town at tlic tinic so slic did not have an opponunity to
anend that meeting. But, she said. slic lieard then: was some concern on the pan of people who did try to
attend, that tliey were sent away because tlic room was too small and then: was an attempt to change to a
different room at the Malley Center and that was not allowed. Ms. Habenicht wondered if Ms. Ryan-
Ozburn would comment on that and why tlial w-.is. if 1ha1 was or ir she is wrong in what she lieard . Ms.
Ryan-Ozburn said she would be liappy lo com1ne111 on that . Slic advised thal the room was posted in their
legal public notice as Room I at the Malley Center and tliey had aJso asked tllC residents to let lllCm know

indicating their desire to be there or to speak . She said they knew that about thirty people wanted to
attend and they were planning on about that number. But. she stated. when they arrived for the meeting
at the Malley Center they discovered how many people had come to attend the mee1ing . She said they
were reluctant at thal poinl to change lhe venue. 10 move ii to another room. because of the leg.ii issues
surrounding that. She noted they wanled lo make sure it was a legal meeting so lhey 1old lhe residents
lhal were there 1ha1 they would meet wilh lhc spokespersons oflhe various groups and listen lo lhem . Ms.
Ryan-Ozburn poinled out that 1hey allowed as many people into the room as possible and that she: was not
aware !hat anyone was sent away. She said she: was aware thal there were so,ne people out in the hallway
and their legal counsel. Lee Applegate, was there and she: also went out in the hallway and talked \l<lth
these people . But, she stated. the door was kept open to ensure !hat it was an open meeting and as far u
she knows no one was sent away. Ms . Ryan-Ozburn explained !hat they were concerned aboul the lire
codc:s .
Council Member Habenichl said then your legal counsel advised that you could not change the room . Ms.
Ryan-Ozburn stated that was right .
Council Member Habenicht said there was another comment she heard. thal she would like 10 check out.
She stated !hat somebody was told that they would have a certain amount of lime to presenl their concern
and they were cut back more lhan half. 1bey fell they were not given a fair hearing. Ms. Ryan-Ozburn
said she understands where that confusion may have arisen. She noted thal when she was lalking 10 one
of the residents they asked how long they be allowed to speak. At that point, she said, lhc Commissioners
had not indicated to her a set time or amount of lime per residenl or per group. She stated whal they
indicated was !hat tbere would be about an hour available during lhe Board Meeting 10 listen 10 lhese
concerns. She said thal when she talked wilh one residenl she explained thal they were not sure of lhc
parameters and lime guidelines. 8111 whal would possible happen would be if !here were ten people there
wanting to speak lhey would have aboul live minules a person. If there were live people 1here wan1ing to
speak they would have aboul 1en minu1es per person. Bui. she said. as far as she knows 1here was never a
set time per person. There were three distinct groups llic:re, she: advised. and since there was an hour
allotted they broke ii down into about twenty minutes per group. Eacb group had a spokesperson. except
one group had -ra1. but ii was twenty minutes per group.
Council Member Vormittag asked how many got to speak. Ms . Ryan-Ozburn said !hat she: was not sure
exactly the number. Mr. Vonnittag asked if they had a sign up sheet that they used. Ms . Ryan-Ozburn
advised they had a sheet of residents that had called before hand to advise !hat they were interested in
attending the meeting and/or speaking al the meeting. She noted she: has that at the office. She identified
some residents who spoke.
Council Member Vonnittag questioned wlic:1her the minutes have been typed up. Ms . Ryan-0-L.bum
advised that they have not. Mr. Vormiltag asked that after they are printed if she: would make sure they
get them over at City Hall as soon as possible. He noted he would like to sec a copy to sec what the
comments were. Ms. Ryan-Ozburn agreed to provide the minutes.
Council Member Wiggins noted that in their memo to tlic: residents on June 21"', in the second paragraph,
they indicated the residents could place their wrillen comments in a designated comment box at Orchard
Place. Ms. Ryan-Ozburn said that is right . Mr. Wiggins asked who has aa:css to the box and how secure
it is. In other words. he asked. if somebody can get inlo ii and get rid of some of those comments or are
they all there where they could be accounled for . He said that is what he is wondering about . Because is
they have in essence a suggestion box and they can stick it in and you don ·1 like the suggestion and you
deep six it. who knows if it was put ii in there . Council Member Wiggins said in his opinion. since they
have so much controversy 1ha1 lhcy gel a post office box and register ii some way . So that each comment
that comes in is documented. Unless. he said. lhis is some kind of secured box and they have some

guarantee that the comments get to there. Ms . Ryan-Oz.bum said she fell that was an excellent idea . She
advised that the box is locked. Council Member Wiggins asked who locks the box . Ms. Ryan-Ozburn
advised that she locks the box and she and the police have a key to it. She stressed that at this point they
have not been interested in deep sixing anything, that they have been interested in learning what all the
concerns arc. Mr. Wiggins said he reali7.es that. but as they listen to the these people they arc claiming
that they arc not being heard and their comments arc not getting there. Ms. Ryan-Ozburn said she
understands that. she has heard that . Mr. Wiggins stated that he just wants to know if they have
something that guarantees if it goes in the box that it is documented and kept over there. Actually, Ms.
Ryan-Ozburn advised, they have a procedure in place. She stated that, as she told the residents of
Orchard Place. when they fill out a grievance form it will be seen by the manager of the prog,am and
bcrsclf. They will both comment on the form and initial off' on it in original hand. That original will be
returned to the resident within three days. If it is not, she advised. then our phones numbers arc on that
form and they can call and find out what is going on with it. So. Council Member Wiggins said, they do
get the original back indicating you have seen it . Ms. Ryan-Ozburn stated that is right . Oby. Mr.
Wiggins said. you do have a procedure in place.
Council Member Nabholz commented that she was in Orchard Place today to drop off' some Dowers for an
individual and there were alarms going off'. She noted there was a gentleman there and he was standing
in the lobby smoking a cigarctle. Ms. Nabholz stated she was concerned lhat all the doors were open and
she asked if there was a fire alarm or what . He said ii doesn '1 make any difference. if she needed 10 use
the elcvalor or stairs go right ahead and if you see a fire just blow on it . Ms. Nabholz stated she was really
concerned about lhis and when she got 10 1he resident she was visiling she said it happened quile
frequently lhat there arc really no fire drills. Council Member Nabholz advised 1ha1 she would like 10 find
out when was lhe last lime we had a fire inspection of Orchard Place. She said she was very concerned.
that she had she son wilh her and yes she got on lhe elevalor. Bui it was a joke. she said. and she was
very concerned about lhe safety of lhe residents.
Ms. Nabholz asked where the suggcstion box is localed and noted 1hat she has seen a suggestion box . Ms.
Ryan-Ozburn advised lhat one is located on the first Ooor by lhe mail boxes. Ms. Nabholz asked if it is
the lillle mail bo,c wilh lhe big slot in it . Ms. Ryan-Ozburn said thac is righ1 . Ms. Nabholz questioned
whether ii is possible to physically stick your hand in ii . Ms. Ryan-Ozburn said 1ha1 she would guess you
a,uld ifthal was your in1ent . Ms. Nabholz asked if ii was locked . Ms. Ryan-Olburn advised it is locked.
But, she noted, if someone was intent on getting in that suggcstion box that she was sure thq• could. Just
as if they are inlent 0t1 getting inlo any vaull 1hey could also do 1ha1.
Council Member Nabholz asked if any of the residents were considered to be on this advisory c:ommiucc
to probably help calm down some of 1he other people lhcre. Ms. Ryan-Ozburn advised 1hat thal question
was discussed loday and they have ROI come lo any resolulion on 1ha1 She stated diey arc also talking
aboul getting an oulside medialor and she has talked 10 a couple of other people about 1ha1 issue . They arc
now, she noted , looking for someone 1ha1 lliey would consider a disinterested oulsidc lhird pany,
somebody objective.
Council Member Habenichl said she was not sure she understood . She noted 11131 Ms. Ryan-Ozburn
indicated lhere was a sign-up sheet for everybody who allended 1he meeting. She asked if ii was for
everybody who anempled 10 anend lhe mceling or only for lhose who were allowed 10 auend lhe meeting.

Council Member Waggoner said he noticed that the Housing Authority 1nectings arc listed on our lisl of
IDCICtings . Mayor Bums agreed thal it is just like any other board or commission .
Council Member Vormittag said he thinks what site was asking was for those 1nectings that arc going to
be over there concerning these problems. that she was not meaning the Housing Autltority meetings.
Council Member Habcnichl lltaoked Mr. Vormillag and said thal was exactly whal she meant. Ms . Ryan-
Ozburn advised thal site understood chat.
Council Member Vormiltag advised tltat where he is going with lhis is he would like to sec all of the
written information without getting involved. He noted he can look at it. read through it and try to stay up
to speed of what is happening. what's going on. what has been resolved . He said it is just so he can see
the whole thing dying back down again. hopefully. that is whal your goal is . Absolutely . Ms. Ryan-
Ozburn said . Council Member Vormittag said he would just like 10 stay up lo speed witJ1 it without
getting involved.
Mayor Burns asked if there ~,:n: any fun her questions or comments. There were none.
(b) Administrative Organization (Police Fire)
Mayor Burns asked if anyone wished to speak 10 this issue.
Council Member Habenicht advised that awhile back Council had a study session where they were
discussing an administrative organi7.ation ordinance Chat was passed . she believed. in 1990. She noted
there had been some diSC11ssion . She said she remembered pan of lhe diSC11ssion where Council Member
Clapp asked City Allomey Brol7-man if it was in fact consistent with the Clianer and he said no it wasn·t .
Council Member H.abcnicht stated tlial it really took her by surprise at the time and she has never really
felt comfonablc with tliat ordinance. She said she was suggesting this be brought up for discussion when
she was son of thinking more that this was a study session. Bui since it is on here. she really thought
Council should seriously consider revisiting and repealing thal ordinance and taking us back to the way it
was under City Manager Pete Vargas. City Manager Andy McCown and City Manager Stan Dial. She
said she just wanted to make sure that we were working on that. At the time Safdy Services was crcalCd.
she said, but there liave been all sons of cliangcs and she fell this is a good time to revisit that ordinance
and possibly repeal ii and go back to where we were. She opined lhal it was much better.

Council Member Vonnillag questioned whal ii was . Council Member Habenichl advised that whenever
there would be an organizational change, that is in the number of depanments we have and what
depanments we have in lhe City, that ii would come lo Council as a recommendation from the City
Manager. The Council would then either approve or disapprove such change. Which. she said. she
beliC\ICS is consistent with the Chaner.
Council Member Wiggins said, regarding just the issue of police and fire. thal he wanted 10 comment on
the memo they RJCCived from City Manager Clark dated the 26"' of his appoin1men1 of Chris Olson as the
Director of Safety Services effccti\'C July I . Mr. Wiggins congralulating him on appointing Mr. Olson .
He opined he is well qualified and that he will do a fine job.
Council Member Vonniltag asked City Manager Clark if he was still going to look for another director.
City Manager Clark said no. Then, Mr. Vormiltag noted, ii is a pcnnanenl thing not an acting thing.
Council Member Wiggins said the memo says he was appoinled director effective July I, ii doesn't say
anything about acting.
Council Member Nabholz said she wanted lo say for lhe record 1ha1 she has worked with Chris Olson in
different capacities and she also feels lhal he is very qualified from 1he parade 10 1he Police
Communication Task Fora:. which she served wilh him on.
Mayor Burns staled Council congratulates Chris Olson on his appoinunenl .
Council Member Habenicht said she would like 10 ask if Council agrees or disagrees with her in lenns of
moving forward on this one ordinance. And if lhat is the case. she said. she would like 10 know what the
appropriate next step would be. She said she would like lo see ii come as soon as possible on an agenda
and that we move back 10 making it where ii was al 1ha1 lime so we are in compliance with our Chaner.
Mayor Burns commented that he undcntood from the Chaner provisions 1ha1 if they changed a
depanment that it requires an ordinance anyway. City Allorney Brotzman said that is correct . Mayor
Burns noted we already kind of undcntood that So. he said. what he was concerned about is how much
staff' time ii will lake and what will they need 10 gel into this. City Allomey Brotzman advised that ii is
how much they want to take of this. That right now they have a very large administrati\'C ordinance that
was going to be staffed and then brought to Council after August, after lhe Director's retreat when they
were going 10 go through this. He noted that where we are inconsistent with the Charter is two
departments. not being Safety Services is one of the departments, Parks and Recreation and Neighborhood
and Business Development we arc currently not consistent. our Code is not up to date as to what our
ac:rual pnlClia: is. Which means. he said, that we are in violation . City Allorney Brotzman advised
Council they can lake all of this in one large lump sum. which is its current fonn, or they can break them
into pieces and lake a small pica: at a time. He advised 1ha1 Randie Barthlome started this process and we
did a large project and lhe first real draft of 1ha1 is done. He said Council can lake ii in smaller
increments if they ",iuld like. that ii up 10 Council .
Mayor Bums suggested 1ha1 Council lake ii in one large lump because Council is aware of whal they have
to do if you change a dcpanmcnt He pointed oul they will not be changing a department without a proper
ordinance. He noted 1ha1 with C\'Crything lhey lia\'C on their plate right now, with General Iron,
Cinderella City and code enforcement and \.'VCrything else, if Council lakes these one al a time they will
just be tying staff' up something terrible. He said 111111 is the way it scc:ms 10 him. Mayor Burns asked .
since they are so aware of what the issues are. wily they couldn '1 do ii all al once.

llllled she has fell uncomfortable about ii ever since . Then when she learned 1ha1 in facl. indeed . ii was

So that Council can compare that and sec how easily it would be to go back to what was without a
problem. She said if that is the case. then yes . She stated she would ccnainly ncver want Council to move
on anything that Council docs not fully understand or have an opponunity to review.
Mayor Bums asked how much stair time this will take right now. He pointed out that he is concerned that
we have so many other things that we arc doing. He asked if Council can have this in some son of form.
so thal they can get a good look 11 it. without going through the voluminous paperwork. City Manager
Clark explained that the ordinance City Attonicy Brotzman is talking about just came out shonly. that it
was one of Randie Banhlomc last items that she completed. He noted that 15 he recalled it is 70 some odd
pages in text. He said he had indicated to Mr. Brotzman that he would look at it before the end of this
week and then they were going to route it out to the directors. He stated it does the comparison they were
talking about. As far as the other ordinance. Mr. Clark stated. he is still not clear what she is lalking
about. Council Member Habenicht explained that she is talking about the ordinance that changed the way
rcorganiz.alion is done in the City. She reiterated that she would like 10 sec Council repeal that ordinance
and immediately go back to where we were before lhat ordinance was passed . Which. she maintained.
would not n,quirc 70 pages of anything. She said if they wanlcd 10 look at 70 pages. 20 years. 20 days . 20
months. 20 MICks down the pike. when 1hey have more time. thal is fine. But. she said. righl now she
thinks they should rectify what was done that was wrong in the past .
Council Member Clapp said she mighl be able to help here. She said she lhinks Council Member
Habenicht is talking about the ordinance thal overrode lhe Chaner illegally. That is the exact one. She
asked Ms. Habenicht if she was right . Ms. Habenichl said she was. Ms. Clapp reiterated it is the one that
illegally overrode Chancr. She opined that you can't produce an ordinance lhat is directly opposed to
your Charter. Council Member Clapp said thal your Chaner is your guide. your rule book and you can 't ,
without a vote of the people. change that.
Mayor Bums said he undcrSlands that . He commented that maybe they should just put it on the study
session so they can get a description of what they arc looking al here.
City Attorney Brotzman explained thal they arc asking for two different pieces. He said he can have the
shon piece ready for lhe next study SC55ion . Council Member Habenichl stated that is what she is asking
for, the shon piece.
Mayor Bums noted he is not in the drafting business. 1ha1 he is in the law business. but 1ha1 he can sec
where this thing can just be so far oul or hand thal they could not cohesively look at ii in one study
session . He said if they can separate out something thal is or imponanoc and idcnlifiable they could
address that. But, he commented, 15 he said he is concerned that Council has a lot of 1hings on the plate
here and sending Mr. Brotzman and 5lalf people off lo do an awfully lot of work on something like this.
Council Member Habenicht opined that this does not need to be a lot of work. that this is very simple.
Take whal we did wrong. put it back to what was righl and then go on from there. Mayor Bums advised
Council Member Habenicht thal he has no idea what 1ha1 is.
Council Member Waggoner said it seems like 10 him 1ha1 the way 10 proceed is to just get the ordinance
that supposedly changes the Cily Chaner and highlighl in 1ha1 ordinance lhe places where it is
inconsistent with the Chaner. He opined 1ha1 thal should not be too difficult or take 100 long. He stated
the other one would be to. in an organi1..ational chan or something like 1ha1 . show the differences between
the City Chaner and the organization that we have today . City Attorney Brotzman explained that those
arc two different pieces and the second one is not a problem. He said they can have both of those. Mr .
Waggoner maintained that the first one he should be able to get too. He commented that he should be
able to take that ordinance and show where it is inconsistent. City Attorney Brotzman agreed that that
one is not difficult to do. Council Member Waggoner Slated that 15 far as the 70 page one, he could care

Waggoner advised that he wants to know where those inoonsillc:ncic:s are. that is what he is looking for .
Mayor Bums askcd if Council CIOllld have this explained al the llUdy seuion. because he llill does not
think they have the pealell foaas in the world now • to what they are doing. City Aaomey Brotzman
aid that would be fine . Council Member Clapp ask them to wait a minute. She said she thinks they do,
that Council Member Habenicht is asking for 1ha1 ordinance to go away and come back on the regular
agenda lq)Qling it. Ms. Clapp opined that is real clear. She said she does not know what there is that is
11> hard to gd here . Mayor Bums asked if City AnQl'IICY Brotzman is he knows what they are talking
about here. Mr . Brotzman said he knows what they are working on. He pointed out that if they wanted to
look al the next llUdy !ICSSion ageada they may not want to pick that qcoda as they have a lot on their
plale dud night. He suggested they might want to lllil it for a differenl night. Mayor Bums noted it has
been on lhlR for eight or nine years . He qucst.ioned whether they would have a oonstitutional crisis if
they don't do this for a c,ouple of weeks. Council Member Habenicht ted that a number of things have
been done inappropriately and she would hale to see more things being clone inapp,opriatdy because of it.
Mayor Bums opined that they are in very little daqer of that, that they are very much aware of this. City
Anorney Brotzman said he was jllll noting that Council has picked IICWl1I.I items for that evening such as
QllClc enforcement, and the developer is corning 1ha1 evening and lire pension is that evening. which is a
blUol question they will studying. If they do this one as well they will reduce the time that they have for
any of these. He noted ii has been another Council cona:m 1ha1 they don ·1 have enough time on an issue.
He said all he is saying is if~· arc going lo pick a meeting. do so al a time whe111hey have enough time
to look at this. Council Member Vonuinag said why do11 '11hcy just say they need 10 have ii handled by
the end of July. Let the staff wort oo ii and uy lo gc:t a lllCCling on it sometime in the month of July to get
it taken care of. Mayor Bums asked if that would work . City Anomcy Brotzman said yes . Mayor Bums
aid be is in favor of that .
Council Member Nabholz said that as a new a,uncil member she would like to see the 70 pages.
background. if possible. She said she would appreciate that. City ARQl'IICY Brotzman said sure .
Council Member Vorrninag said that hopefully in the study session that will all come to a lad.
Mayor Bums asked if that is Council ·s consensus. to have this done at least ...clime in July . Council
Member Habenichl said it was okay wilh her. just so long as we are not operating illlpplOpriatdy in any
way and don 't move forward from that point . Mayor Bums said he thought City Anorney Brotzman
would Id Council know if they are.
Mayor Bums asked if theR was anything dse on those subjects.
Council Member Clapp asked City Manager Clark if we are going to continue to have an Assiaant Safety
Services Director. Mr. Clark advised that right now the plan is 10 eliminate that position if Mr. Olson
meCls his probationa,y period.
Mayor Bums asked if there was an)1hing else 011 these issues. There were 11onc .

Board Meeting regarding Orchard Place
Thank you for your im.rut in the Board Meeting held June 25.1997. Many more of
you attended than wu expected and the luigned meeting location pursuant to public
notice requirements wu unfortunately not large enough to seat everyone. Rather than
