Onlia--,R111hdw_......_ Mayor Burns staled that be initially ealalaiaed the idea of calling a special meeting tonight himldf, having been called on Tbunday at the offlc:c by Council Members Waggoner and Vonniuag. They urged him to go ahead with the special mcctiDg in order to dilCIID the Cindcrdla City matter. Council was previously scheduled for a lludy IIClsioll taaip& at the Englewood Golf CGune to meet the new vendors . However, Mayor Bums aid that be felt it was approprillc, illllelld, to meet in the Council Chambers, bccaulc that is when: the llakeholdcn and other people who were at lut week · 1 lludy IIClsioll on Cinderdla City knew that Council was going to dilCUII the matter ftutbcr. Abo, in order to have a reading. be said, the meeting muat be held in the City, and, therdorc, tonight 's meeting is being held in City Hall when: the meetings are uawJy held, ID everyone: will know when: they are . AIIO, it gives Council an opponunity to voce becaUle it is a special meeting. Mayor Bums advised that there are two maacn for which the meeting was called. . - I • • 0 - • • Englewood City Council, Special Session April 8, 1996 Page2 • 0 , . • (a) The first, he staled, is approval of a resolution indicating the direction of Englewood City Council for the rede\'clopment of the Cinderella City site. He explained that this RSO!ution basically says that the Englewood City Council desires to set fonh their intention to direct staff to pursue the rede\'clopment of the Cinderella City site, to include, but oot be limited to, 400,000 square feet of entenainment and retail development. The resolution was assigned a number and read by title : RESOLUTION NO. 42, SERIES OF 1996 A RESOLUTION INDICATING 1HE DIRECflON OF 1HE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL FOR 1HE REDEVELOPMENT OF 1HE CINDERELLA CITY SITE. MAYOR BURNS MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM !I (a) - RESOLUTION NO. 42, SERIES or 1996. Mayor Bums asked if there was any discussion . Council Member Waggoner remarted that Council received a letter, in their packet today, that essentially reads the last therefore of the resolution just introduced . One of the statements in that letter, he said, is that this resolution clearly cndoncs a power center at the Cinderella City site while this conccpl is supposedly still under review . Aoothcr says that, should the City later favor a variation of this a>necpt, passage of this resolution would put the City :it risk of future lawsuits where none existed before. Council Member Waggoner asked the City Attorney to respond, asking if this would lock us into 400,000 square feet or retail at Cinderella City, and whether passage of this resolution puts us at risk of future lawsuits. City Attorney Brotzman answered tbat, with this resolution, Council is directing staff to pursue the negotiations for 400,000 square feet . It can be plus or minus 400,000 square feet. that is optional. He said the answer to the question or will it open us up to 1110R lawsuits is. oot any 1110R than wc currently bave right now . He opined that, if they can auc us now, they can auc us in the future, this won 't do anything one way or anodlcr as to the lcga1 i11SUCS . Council Member Hathaway asked for clarification of the difference between this resolution and the motion she made last Monday. Mayor Bums said he thinks that motion is history . Council Member Hathaway utcd she is just auious, becaUlc the only thing that is diffcrmt in here is that it is oot limited to 400,000 square feet or entertainment and retail . In other wonk. we could add a cultunl center or anything else, she said. Mayor Bums responded that he was conccrncd about her motion last week bClcaulc Council bad said they wanted more input from staff and 1110R diacuaion after last wect 's meeting . He said that he did not know she was going to make her motion and said she c:augbt him olf guard. Council Member Hathaway aacd, other than e-mail dilCllllioa ud dilCllllioa witb COllllia.-ts, what dilCUSlioas have Council Memben bad --. tbcmlcM:a that Council -planlliq OIi bavula April .,. in the lludy -.ion. She said it -publilbed in the Eqlcwood Herald that this -fDin1 to~ 11ml up on the 1,•. not this neaiq. She rctt 11111 bis made ._ cilimll a little weary of the f'act tba1, no matter what WC IIY. WC do ancdlilla clac anyway . ,,, - I • • 0 • • • Englewood City Council, Special Session April 8, 1996 Page3 • 0 • Mayor Bums said Council told everyone that they would be meeting apin tonight on this issue. Council received a letter last week from Equitable, be recalled, which expreSICd their peat concern and distress at what we have been doing and looking at the agreement with them apin and giving us a deadline. He thought that, since many of the people here tonight were here last week, they knew we were going to IDCld again tonight. Mayor Bums said be felt this would give Council a cbancc to dilCUIS and express opinions, since Ibis is not a night for public comment, and Council would be Ible to disc:uss their coocems and, therefore, have their diSCUllion, having received a lot of public input and cliscuaion u well . He advised that the otber reason be called the meeting -. not only that be thought it wu a good idea, but because two members of Council exprasly llked him to do II). He llated that be allO lpOllc to Council Member Lauri Clapp on Friday, and she allO urged Council to go ahead with the meeting tonight. He aid that, since Council Member Hathaway bad made the molioas before to go ahead, be thought she would be in favor . Council Member Hathaway aid she does not have a problem with that, but that the problem she bas is putting it in a special meeting session, where there is no opponunity for public input, panicularly after it was published that Council would be doing a fonnal vote on the ls•. She aid it would not be a problem for her to vote for it, its just that IIIOII of the calls she bas rcceiwd expressed dilUal that it wu being done u a special meeting. Mayor Bums llated that most of the calls be bas bad in the last week have been about 80 pen:cnt to IIIO\-e ahead, very strongly to move ahead, which wu another reason why be called the meeting. Council Member Habenicht llated afficially her procest that we are having lhese COlllidered at a apeciaJ meeting. She thinks. for one thing. u Council Member Hathaway llated, it precludes public comment, and it wu put on the agenda for the Is•. at which time there would be opportunity for public C0111111C11t. She aid she does no( w any .-i for rushing into IO!Detbing at the expeme of the public'1 lbility to come and speak to Council, and that is, to her, extremely problemllic. Rapondin1 to Mayor Bum's comments that much of this bas been jg ,apome to the letter fiom Equitable, Council Member Habenicht said she bas a serious concern about this Idler, and bow the Idler from Equitable wu introduced to Council. She said we have been engqed for well over two years in what, jg her undenlanding. wu sensitive negotiations over a ral ata1c maacr with Equitable repraenlin1 Cindennak. She said she bas worked very, very bard and diligently OYCr the yan to maintain all the coafidentiality and all of the thoughtfulness and responsibility to the City and to the constituency jg terms al negotiating with them appropriately. She aid her CIIIIUIIClltl are not prepared and llked Council to please bear with her if she wanders a little. because she is apcaking -ftom the cuff'. Continuing. she opined that la)CMJII, u a Council Member at the IIUdy session, a Idler from Equitable ftquiriq the IICl()tiation OYCr this lite, and having it read aloud to all of us at the same time it was read to the public, with all lOIU al inflammatory comments. even mgeating -IOlt of lawsuit action, rally put the City jg a bad place. She said she bu beard people talking about this IDClding, putting Council in a box beclule we can't lalk about anything other than lhese things, this IDCldina putting people in a box bocaule the Council c:annol liatcn to public comment. Council Member Hlbenicbl llated that she bu allO beard about this Idler forcing Council into IOIIIC immediate action. and that wms to be pan of what baa pn,cipilated this. She thought that what Council is doing is taking an action hued on bow we are relating to our IICIO(iation with Equitable without the benefit al this Council meeting u a body al the whole to dilam what lillltcgy we would utilize in our negotiation. u we have over the put two yan jg Executive Seaion, 111 that they would not put forth to Equitable what that llrategy would be. She aid she baa always IUppOf1ed doing lhese kinds of things in Executive Seuion bocaule she baa al'WB)'I bclicwd that it was jg the bell intcrell ol'the City and the CIOllllituency 10 IICIO(iatc in that way, jg a bualnealike manner . When IOIIICbocly 11ep1 out of that negotiation. out of that kind of proceas, and its both the City Manqer and Equitable, she said it gives her pievous concern. Ms. Habenicht aid that OYCr the weeliend. since she did not haw the opponunity to ask I lot ol these questions at what she hoped would be a IIUdy session. and if IOIIIC of the ...
