was present in the absence of Director Sue 'Powers; and other City
staff members were present at the request of Council.
Susan King, 8020 South Tamarac Street, Senior Planner of the
Community Development Department, carne forward and presented the
amendments. Ms. King entered into the record the public notice ap-
pearing in the Sentinel November 23, 1983; and a staff memorandum dated August 31, 1983 on the subject.
Ms. King stated the landscape ordinance was one of the goals
of the 1979 Comprehensive Plan developed by the Planning and Zoning
Commission to provide quality development, create attractive living
environment, encourage quality design, and promote compatibility
between industrial and residential districts. The Commission would
require a developer to provide landscaping plans at the time of
building permit application. Ms. King clarified the requirement
would be for new development only, not for property currently de-
veloped. The property owner would have the responsibility of main-
tenance. Ms. King stated no persons appeared at the Planning and
Zoning Commission's hearing, and the Commission was recommending
favorable acceptance of the ordinance. Ms. King entered i nto the
record a landscaping c os t analysis sheet and a map denoting vac ant
par c els for R-1-A, R-1-B, and R-1-C zone districts.
Coun c il Member Neal asked if other communities in the metro
area were requiring landscaping for individual single family dwelling lots or development before the house is sold.
Ms. King stated some of the communities were. A survey
reflected Arvada had no regulations; Lakewood requ i red a site de-
velopment for all development but l ow dens i ty residential; Aurora and
Gr e enwood Vill age had regulat i ons for residential areas; Littleton
req ui red design review to determine landscap requirements in planned d e v elo pm e nts o nly.
Co un cil Me mb e r Ne al as ked Ms. Ki ng if s h wa s fam ili a r with
any co mmu n ities that re q ui r e a n up f r ont e xpense on the par t o f the
d veloper , not the purchaser , to landsca p e in low density single-family areas.
Ms . King tated he was not f mil!ar wi h any communi y aking such a requirem nt .
Council M mb r Weist no t ed the maint n nee requirement was
only for ne w construction or subs t antial r e modeling.
At the request of Cou n cil Me mber N al , Cole n Sto well , Ci y
Fores er , came for ward . Council M mber Neal as ed wha enforcemen
problems would develop in t rms of the curren code •

Forester Stowell and City Attorney DeWitt stated the en-
forcement would the responsibility of the Code Enforcement Division
of the Department of Community Development.
Council Member Neal expressed concern about a problem on
South Emerson Street that the current code could not solve.
* * * * * * *
Mayor Otis asked if there was anyone in the audience wishing to speak either for or against the ordinance.
Mr. Rick Ortiz, 3925 South Broadway, came forward. Mr.
Ortiz opposed the ordinance because of the cost to the small busi-
nessman and the amount of space it would take to meet the require-ments.
Council Member Bradshaw pointed out there was a process
through which the Board of Adjustment and Appeals heard appeals to ordinances such as this one.
* * * * * * *
Mr. Wayne Rosenbeck, Century 2 1 Real Estate, came forward.
Mr. Rosenbe c k stated he was i nvo l ved i n two real estate matters, one
a t 3900 South Broadway and the other at 4500 South Broadway. Mr.
Rosenbe c k quer i ed if there was equity between the two, when the one
at 3 900 South Broadway (owned by Mr. Ortiz) was being completely torn
down and und e r the new ordinan c e would requ i re landscaping; and the
one at 4 500 South Broadway where mi nimum development would not re -q ui r e la nd sca p i ng.

Bill Taggert, McLaughlin Engineering, gave a presentation updating the Board
on the Little Dry Creek flood control project. He pointed out that by
changing the point at which the creek entered the underground conduit,
the location and form of the water body west of Broadway has been sub-
stantially changed from the original downtown development design.
Discussion followed regarding the possibility of moving the creek chan-
nel one half of a block to the west.
Mr. Kaufman noted concern regardtng parking for existing merchants and
employees on South Broadway during the redevelopment construction.

September 30, 1983. Mr. Mausolf moved, seconded by Mr. Close, to accept

CLEAN UP PROPOSAL -One of the main concerns expressed regarding this issue
was that if the EDDA is going to undertake any clean up proposal, the City
will have to enforce the trash ordinances. This program should be coordinated

to form a sub committee to look into this proposal. The motion was passed
unanimously by voice vote. Mr. Casson will appoint this b committee during

Mrs. Romans stated that the applicant is requesting a variance to allow
the continued use of a roof sign. This is a variance from Section 22.7-8 h -
Signs Prohibited in all Zone Districts, Roof Signs. A roof sign is
defined as a sign erected upon or above the roof line or parapet of the building or structure.
The Chairman asked that the applicants come forward and be sworn in for
testimony. Irene and Elaine Paulson, 4223 South Broadway, came forward and
were sworn in . Irene Paulson stated that she rents two adjoining buildings.
She uses the building on the north side for her shop. She stated that the
building on the south sticks out so that her shop cannot be seen easily.
The building sits on the property line in the front, on the south there
is the other building, with a driveway on the south side of it, and another
driveway to the north. She called the Board's attention to the letters
of agreement from the owner of the neighboring properties. She stated
that the sign was not lit. She said her business caters to senior citizens,
and a sign is ne c essary for the identification of her business. She
obtained a permit in 1969 to erect the present sign; and it has been
there without objection ever since. She submitted t wo pictures showing the sign.
Mr. Ferguson asked how much of the business depends on the sign. Mrs.
Irene Paulson said that many people are drawn by the sign and drop in
without appointments. Mr. Ferguson asked if a ground sign had been dis-
cussed with the Building Division. Mrs. Paulson said that there was no
place for a ground sign. Mr. Ferguson stated that a ground sign in the
driveway would require only one foot of spaca: Mrs. Paulson said that the
driveway is not part of her rented property, although she is permitted
to use it during business hours.
Mr. Hallagin asked if Mrs. Paulson had attended the meetings on the Sign
Code. Mrs. Paulson said that she had not been aware of the meetings. Mra.
Romans stated that not every business was individually contacted, although

There were no further speakers in favor of the request. There were no
speakers in opposition to the request. The Chairman asked that the
Staff report be made part of the record, and asked if the Staff
wanted to make any statements.
Harold J. Stitt, Sign Code Enforcement Officer, was sworn in. He
referred to the pictures which were presented by the applicants. He
said that they could see that the existing sign has quite a few pieces of
angle iron and guy wires. The Staff suggested that the sign be relocated
on the north building wall, and engineered to reduce the angle iron and
guy wires. Mr. Seymour asked if this would satisfy Fire Marshal Groditski's
objections. Mr. Stitt said that in the past Mr. Groditski had expressed
a concern that the roof be clear so that firemen could easily move around
on the roof. He stated that the canopy of the building is right at
property line, but the building fronts are angled back. When the sign
is remodeled, it will have to conform with the Code in other matters;
for example, it cannot project more than 30 inches into public right-of-
way. Mr. Stitt said that in his opinion, the new sign will be much more
attractive, and it will alleviate the concerns of the Fire Marshal. The
sign will be visible. Mr. Gage asked if it would be higher than the wall.
Mr. Stitt said that it would not be appreciably higher. Mr. Ferguson
asked if a sign could be attached to a parapet wall. Mr. Stitt said that
a projecting sign or a wall sign can be attached to a parapet wall. Mr.
Fe rguson said that the attachment could damage the wall. Mr. Stitt stated
that that would be taken into consideration when the applicant applied for a building permit.
Mrs. Paulson asked if there was a grandfather's clause in the Code. Mr.
Stitt stated that there was not. Mrs. Romans said that Mr. Stitt would be
glad t o work with Mr. Abell and Mrs. Paulson.
The Cha i rman a ked if the applicants had anythin further to add. Elaine
Paulson said that even with the present sign, their business had been
reduc d in th past year, and that th busin sa could not surviv without
visibl ai n. They do h ve many walk-in customers.
Mr. Kr ilin at ted th t the Board c rtainly did not wi sh to put the
Paulsons out of business, and call d attention to the 8 neon and Hedges
sign which is n arby and much lar r and more objectionabl than the Groom Roo 's si n.

down the sign, to move it or to replace it. Mr. Gage again asked what
would happen if Mr. Abell would not permit the change of the sign. Mr.
Seymour said they could handle that in the wording of the variance if
they wished. He said that if the Board did not grant the variance, the
sign would have to come down. They could grant a variance to leave the
sign where it is, or to move it to a different location. Mr. Ferguson
asked if a sign couldn't be put on the north wall which extends toward
the sidewalk two or three feet, or if a pole sign could be erected on
that spot. Mrs. Stitt said that that would be permissible within the Code.
BOARD MEMBER BROWN MOVED THAT IN CASE NO. 29-83, IRENE AND ELAINE PAULSON,
PROPRIETORS OF THE GROOM ROOM AT 4223 SOUTH BROADWAY, BE GRANTED A
VARIANCE TO ALLOW THE USE OF A ROOF SIGN WITH THE PROVISIONS THAT THE SIGN
SHOULD BE REDESIGNED AND RELOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE NORTH BUILDING WALL,
AND THAT THE SIGN STRUCTURE NOT NOW BEING USED SHOULD BE REMOVED. THIS
WORK MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE GRANTING OF THE VARIANCE.
THIS IS A VARIANCE FROM SECTION 22.7-8 h-SIGNS PROHIBITED IN ALL ZONE
DISTRICTS, ROOF SIGNS. A ROOF SIGN IS DEFINED AS A SIGN ERECTED UPON OR
ABOVE THE ROOF LINE OR PARAPET OF THE BUILDING OR STRUCTURE.
Board Member Ferguson seconded the motion.
Mr. Kreiling asked how high a sign can be. Mr. Stitt stated that a
ground sign can be up to 20 feet in height. Since roof signs are pro-
hibited, there is no maximum height. A wall sign can be as high as the
highest part of the building. Mr. Kreiling asked about the Benson
and Hedges sign. Mr . Stitt replied that that is a billboard and,
because of State and Federal law, the City cannot remove the sign unless
it provides compensation to the owners of the sign. Some of those signs cost $20,000.
Mr. Kreiling said that the City is doing the Paulsons an injustic e whe n
the billboard i s permitted to stay. Mr. Brown said that the Pau lson
had b en provided an alterna tive. If Hr. Abell did refuse to permit th
si n to b r moved , t hey can come back before the Board. Mr. Ga agr d.
Mr. F r uson said that they could put up a legal sign if they hav to.

Mr. Brown voted "yes" because there were letters of support from the
neighbors, and because the Paulsons need a sign which can be seen from the street.
Mr. Gage voted "yes" because there was a hardship. If the owner of
the building refuses permission for the sign, the Paulsons can come back
before the Board because of further hardship.
Mr. Ferguson voted "yes" because there are special circumstances in this
case. He stated that they could, however, erect a legal sign. He had
voted in favor of granting the variance only because the sign would be
moved to comply with the request of the Fire Department.
Mr. Seymour stated that there was a hardship, and they would correct a
fire hazard; therefore, he voted "yes".
The Chairman told the applicants to ontact Mr. Stitt for information
and for a Building Permit.

DIRECTOR'S CHOICE. Mrs. Romans stated that Mrs. Firth was present. Mrs.
Romans gave the Board Members copies of various letters of complaint from
the neighbors. Mr. Seymour stated that the variance was to run only during
the lifetime of Mr. Firth. Mrs. Romans said that she sent a letter in
July asking that the operations cease. There was no response to the letter,
and the garage was still being operated. Mrs. Firth stated that she had
not received the letter. Mrs. Firth asked that she be allowed to continue
to operate the garage until the end of 1983. Mrs. Romans suggested that
that be p rmitted, if Mrs. Firth signs a statement agreeing that th
use will return exclusively to single-amily use. Mr. Seymour objected,
sayin that the variance was supposed to cease upon Mr. Firth's death.
Mr . Romans su gested that an agreement be signed and r corded with th
Coun ty. Mr. Seymour asked if there would b resistance to an imm diate
order to c as operations. Mrs. Romans said they would probably re ist,
and it would tak the same amount of time to nforce the order if it

inflexible, and should be improved. Front yard setbacks are presently
25 feet, which allows for no variation. Group homes are not permitted
even though the State Law requires the City to permit up to 8 people
who are developmentally disabled or senior citizens to live in a group home.
Commercial trucks are a real problem, particularly diesel trucks which
must be warmed up for a long time, and which annoy the neighbors. The
current ordinance regulates the trucks in the garage, but not in the
driveway or in front of the houses. Shared housing needed updating to
permit a relative to live with a homeowner, but retain some independence.
Ms. King showed a transparency representing the various residential zones
on a screen. She stated that changes would be proposed in all the zone
districts. Mrs. Romans showed on a map where the R-2 and R-2-C zone
districts are. The difference between the two is primarily that R-2
permits four units attached; the R-2-C does not permit more than two
units to be attached.
Ms. King stated that currently uses such as churches and schools are
allowed to be constructed on property having a minimum of 15,000 square
feet of lot area and 25 foot setbacks on both sides. It is proposed
that a minimum lot area of 24,000 square feet, with 200 feet of frontage be required.
The Planning Commission has suggested dropping the front yard setback
from 25 feet to 15 feet in all residential zone districts. Recreational
vehicles are too tall for the present maximum height of 15 feet for
garages, and it is being suggested that 18 feet would better accommodate
the vehicles. Storage sheds are not addressed in the present ordinance;
however, the proposed ordinance would permit them to be built on the
property line if they have a one hour fire resistive wall along th
property line. Mr. Ferguson said that a garage should also be permitted
to the prop rty lin . Ms. King stated that sheds would be permitted to
be no hi h r than 10 feet , with a maximum ar a of 100 square f t.
Mr. S ymour at t d th t h presently had a storag ahed much lar r than th t.
Mrs. Romans stated that under th pr aent ordinance, the
lin d up accordin to s tback , and th n lot cov rage ia

The Chairman stated that in his opinion, the new order of the Staff
Report is not as good as the old way. The rest of the Board agreed.
Mrs. Romans said that it would be changed back.
Chairman Seymour said that there was no further business, and adjourned
the meeting. The other Board Members remained to discuss the proposed
zoning ordinance. Mr. Seymour left, promising to attend the Public Hearing
on November 15, 1983.
Ms. King discussed Home Occupations, saying that if people make something
in their homes, it can be sold from their homes. Avon products and other
products of that kind could be sold door to door, but the sellers could
not store the products for more than the current delivery in their house
or sell from their house.
Mr. Ferguson referred to the provision prohibiting the hiring of assistants,
saying that they could be called maids. Ms. King said that the neighborhood
often acts as a control. When people apply for a sales tax license , they
are told of the provisions and will be made aware of the requirements.
She said that the rules we have now are not explicit enough, and it is
necessary to have stronger guidelines. The Home Occupation would continue
to be conducted within the home, not the garage. The hours would continue
to be open, except that noisy activities would not be able to go on in
the evening or night time. Signs would be permitted up to 144 square
inches in area, whi ch makes the provision consistent with the Sign Code .
Mr. Ferguson asked if a lawyer could have clients coming to his house. Mrs.
Romans said that he could have clients come to the house, provided that
the area in which he meets with his clients is not more than 300 square
feet. Ms. King said that any storage included in the occupation would be
included in the 300 square feet.

No kind of commercial health care facilities would be permitted.
Restaurants or wholesale or retail use of any items would also be pro-
hibited. Anything that would be hazardous or flammable would be
prohibited. All the home occupations would have to be registered
with the Department and updated annually.
Shared Housing has been suggested for the single-family residence,
with a limited kitchen area. The second unit would have to be a part
of the principal unit; there could be no more than one person occupying
the accessory use; and the maximum floor area could not exceed 450
square feet. An extra parking space would not be required for that
unit; but the unit would have to be registered with the Department.
There would not be a grandfather clause, but the current nonconforming
registered uses would continue. Mr. Kreiling stated that a nonconforming,
but registered, sign should be permitted to continue. Ms. King said
that that was not permitted under the present Sign Code. Mrs. Romans
said that the disposition of signs which have been installed after being
granted a variance has not been determined by the City Attorney.
Mr. Ferguson asked if shared housing would have to be shared with a
relative. He suggested that this would open up boarders and two-family
use in a single-family unit. Ms. King said that it would be only one
person, but it would not have to be a relative. Mr. Kreiling said tha t the
phrasing had been upgraded, but shared housing meant two-family in the
new ordinance.
Ms. King stated that the other changes included the change for public
buildings to be called public facilities to allow for streets, alleys,
or anything that is for public use. Lot coverage would be changed to
require 30 perc ent of the lot area for usable open space, instead of the
present 25 perc ent permitted lot coverage.
Of f-street parking currently is required to be behind the f ront 25 feet of
the prope rty , a nd while a person c an still park in t he driveway which ma y
be in th e 25 foo t s etbac k; that is not c onsidered one of th required
s p ace s. I n the pro posed ordinanc e, parking in the f r ont y ard wo ul d be
permitted , especial l y in areas which do not have al leys. Mr. Ferguson
a ked i f a curb cut wo u ld be allowed for b o th s pac e s. Ms . Kin g said that
it would be limited to 25 fee t. Mr . Fe r guson asked about the possibility
of moving the curb toward the house t o allow parking along the str t.
Ms. King agreed that th t could be possible.

per unit; building height would be limited to 25 feet. The minimum
sideyard setback would be 0 feet at the common property line, and a total
of 14 feet for the entire building.
As conditional uses, group homes would be allowed as long as they are
licensed by the State and have 24 hour supervision; also a small child
center would be permitted as a Conditional Use. Mr. Ferguson asked
the maximum number of residents which would be permitted in group homes.
Ms. King said that 8 is the maximum number of developmentally disabled
and elderly permitted under the State Law.
Diesel trucks have become a great problem. The Staff is suggesting that
a maximum weight limit of 7,000 lbs. empty weight be permitted and that
no automobile trailer, bus or motorized recreational vehicle exceeding 22
feet in length, and no truck-tractor or semi-trailer be parked or stored on
any zone lot. Ms. King called attention to the section on liquefied gas
which was suggested by the Fire Department. In the R-2-C 750 square feet
for single-family attached would be required instead of the 650 square feet
permitted in the R-2. The R-2-C permits no more than two attached single
family units. Mr. Ferguson asked about landscaping. Ms. King said that
there is a proposed landscaping ordinance which will go to City Council
on the 21st of November.
Mrs. Romans invited the Board to the Public Hearing on November 14, and
said that if they were unable to attend, but had comments, they could
call her or Ma. King, who would pass their comments to the Planning
Commission.
The study session adjourned at 9:25 p.m.

Chairman Seymour and Mr. Ferguson reported that they had attended the
Planning and Zoning Commission Public Hearing on the proposed zoning
ordinance. They stated that the new ordinance would cut down on
variances because of the changes in setback requirements for front
yards and the elimination of open area requirements. Mr. Kreiling
asked why those changes were made. Mrs. Romans said that they had
reviewed variances; and when there were a great many variances
requested and granted, the Staff and Planning Commission considered
changing the ordinance on those matters.
Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Seymour expressed concern about the regulations
on storage sheds, suggesting that they not be permitted on property

Re: Resignation from Court Advisory Committee
Hr. Mayor:
General Motors Corpo ration has unexpectedly offered my wife,
Ramona, early retirement in February, 1984. Although my plans
were to continue as a member of the Court Advisory Committee,
my wife and I are unsure how much time we will be in Englewood
in the coming months. Therefore, rather than be unavailable
for meetings, etc., I feel I should relinquish this responsibility.
However, I will be available to serve on the committee, at your
discretion, until a replacement is appointed. Serving on this
committee has been a rewarding experience and I certainly hope
I can serve our great community in the fUture.
Respectfully submitted, Chairman -Englewood Court Advisory

BACKGROUND '-~v--
On September 15, 1983, the Water Referee conclud~qn -his ruling that
Englewood had a right to divert the full decreed 21.6 cfs under Englewood 's
senior Petersburg right. He also ruled that a junior Petersburg right had
been abandoned. Of the 21.6 cfs, 14.6 cfs was under challenge by various
objectors and may be added to the City 's inventory if the Referee's position
is upheld in the appeals process.
As a result of the Referee's ruling, questions arise concerning the yield
available under the Petersburg r i ghts. The conf i rmation of the more senior
Petersburg r i ght s s hould result in an increase in the potential yield.
A current wat er right analy sis s hould be undertaken to determine the
potent i al yi eld s ava i lab le t o Engl ewood from its Un i on Avenue direct flow
water rig hts. Some addi t ional re asons are :
1. Englewood would now wha the yields of its Unio n Ave nue righ t s are
und r th Referee's decision and any varia t io ns s uggested by oppo nents.
2. Engl ood could determine if th r is an engineering basis for
obj cting to non-us of t 12-30-73 junior Petersburg right.
Englewood's exercis of t senior 11-30-1861 right will have an
effec on t yield of t junior right whic h wa s ruled to ha ve
been abandoned.

FINANCIAL
Blatchley recOillllended the analysis be done by use of computer programs
that would provide some flexibility and allow Englewood to obtain answers
i nexpens i vely . These programs could be designed to reflect several sets of general criteria.
The estimated cost of developing such a set of programs and using them
initially to provide an evaluation of the yields of Englewood's Union
Avenue rights for a ten-year study period is $10,000.
$25,000 has been budgeted in account 109 01 31991, which is the Source
of Supply Water Account for professional services. Our budget indicates
that there will be an excess working capital of $484,108. We received
$190,000 to date from Mission Viejo for raw water and anticipate at
least $24,000 for the balance of 1983. This could be a source of
revenue for the analysis of the Union Avenue water rights yield.
RECOfi4£NDATION
That City Cou nc il authorize Blatchley Associates to proceed with the
ana lysis of the yields of Englewood's Union Avenue water rights.

SUBJECT Infiltration/Inflow Analysis
of the City's sewer system
Englewood Water and Sewer Board
ACTION PROPOSED _____ A~p~p_r~ov~e~t_he~B_l~ac~k~&~Ve~a~t~c~h~I~n~f~i~lt~r~a~t~io~n~/~ln~f~l~o~w_(~l~/~l~) ____ _
Analysis of the City's sewer system.
INTRODUCTION
(Refer to the "Proposed Scope of Services")
The heavy precipitation experienced last year resulted in a substantial increase
in flows at the Bi-City treatment plant. It is believed that much of this
increased flow is due to infiltration/inflow and may be cost effective to
correct. Infiltration/Inflow is considered cost effective to correct if the
cost is less than that required to construct new treatment facilities for
the volume of flow under consideration. The Infiltration/Inflow analysis
proposed would evaluate whether the 1/1 is excessive and whether it is cost
effective to correct.
The cost estimate for the study is based upon the assumption that the City of
Englewood Utilities Department will complete Items 1 through 9 of Phase I
with Black & Veatch providing direction, periodic monitoring and checking
calculations for these items. The analysis will be more economical for the
Ci ty using this approach, but will require a great deal of manpower.
Item 10, Phase I. will be completed by the City and checked by Black & Veatch.
FINA CIAL DETAILS
While th scope of th 1/1 Analysis is fairly w 11 defined, the actual
amount of npo r r quired to complete each task will depend on the quality
and qu ntity of information , t rial and data found to be available during
the actu 1 study. Ou to th unc rtain n ture of this type of work, it is
sugg s d that th ngin r proc d on 1 cost plus basis with a top billing
1 im1 .
•
I • •
•
•
• •
If ap prnverl , the City would begin monitoring some flows as described in
Phase II, as soon as possible. The magnitude of effort ultimately required
to accomplish Phase II, however, cannot be established until Phase I is
complete. We suggest that $10,000 be allocated to begin this Phase
concurrently with Phase I to provide a limited amount of flow data to
compare to calculated amount of I/!.
A top billing limit of $8,600 for services in Phase I; items 1 through 10,
is proposed and that an initial $10,000 be allocated to begin Phase II services.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Phase I items 1 through 10 of the Black & Veatch Infiltration/Inflow
Analysis of the City's sewer system and a portion of the Phase II services.
The upper limit for Phase I, items 1 through 10, shall be $8,600 and initial
Phase II work shall be $10,000.

Municipal League in the Mountain Bell rate increase proceedings.
Introduction
The atta che d document from the Colorado Municipal League requests the
city's participation in the PUC rate increase proceedings for Mountain
Bell. Cos t of participation is 6¢ per capita which for Englewood would be $1,833.30.
Englewood has participated in several of these rate hearings in the
past on the part of both Mountain Bell and Public Service Company. We
have always found that the funds have been well -spent and resulted in
considerable saving for our ci t iz ens.
In a related matter, and for your information, the CML Executive Board
has decided not to similarly participate in the current rate hearings
with the Public Service Co mpany. A story in Wednesday's edition of the
Denver Post indicates that the City and County of Denver is going to
head up simil ar effort i n the metropolitan area. We have not received
any i n forms io n about this as of the date of thi writing (December 29)
but will bring i to your a ttent io n when (a nd if) it is received.

SUBJECT: Participation in Mountain Bell Rate Increase Proceedings
DATE: December 23, 1983
Mountain Bell filed on November 28 three Advice Letters and accompanying
tariff sheets requesting approval from the Colorado Public Utilities
Commission (PUC) of proposed telephone rate hikes .
Specifically, in Advice Letter No. 1930 Mountain Bell proposes to collect $51
million through contractual arrangements between it and AT&T or, in the
alternative, authority for a "monthly residual access charge billing" element
which would be applied on a "bulk basis" to bring the total monthly access
charge from Mountain Bell to AT&T to the equivalent of $51,400,000, which
Mountain Bell says it is losing. In Advice Letter No. 1932 the request is for
an interim increase of $33,200 ,000 with s flat rider surcharge of 7.38% for
monthly rates under tariffs effective October I, 1983, excluding local coin
calls and non-recurring (one-time) charges. This Advice Letter is filed as a
contingency in the even that Advice Letter No. 1931, which calls for a
permanent rate hike of $151 million, is suspPnded p nding hearing
The proposed $151 million rate hike, and the on which th League is mos
concerned with at this tim , is Advice Letter No. 1931. This Advice Letter
w s suspended by th PUC on December 16, 1983, and will be heard as INS docket
No. 1665. Under this proposal Mount in Rell ra e1 would b increased by
46.08%, (except for intrast te long distance esaa e telecommunication• and
related 1 rvice and local coin calla, which uld 1ncr ase fro 20 cents to 25
cents, or a 25% incr a e).

League participation will focus both on reducing the proposed rate hike
generally and on protecting the interests of municipalities as telephone
users. League part icipation is expected to address (I) preventing the Company
from obtaining an excessive rate of return, (2) preventing the Company from
maki ng un warranted pro forma accounting adjustments to operating expenses
approved by the Commission, and (3) preventing the Company from utilizing an
inflated rate base. The League may also address questions relating to cost
allocations for certain services and e quipment of particular interest to
municipalities as telephone users (such as private line service for traffic
signalization and PBX and Centrex service and equipment), if disproportionate
increases are proposed for those services. At this time the League does not
know wh e ther certain services utilized extensively by municipalities will be
singled out for large increases . While Mountain Bell has not proposed a Phase
II hearing to restructure rates, our legal counsel believes that a
restructuring of rates or another filing is almost an inevitable outcome of
the first proceeding. Such a restructuring could be particularly onerous to
municipalities if it involved certain municipal services, such as private
lines for controlling traffic control devices.
The Board voted to finance League participation by requesting a contribut ion
of 6 cents per capita from all member cities and towns whi ch voluntarily
decide to participate. Subject to the availability of funds, League
involvement will include participating in hearings and other proceedings
before the PUC, and possibly in related litigation and judicial review
proceedings. The Executive Board also directed that, after conclusion of all
proceedings and after deduction of accumulated i nterest, any balance remaining
from these 1983 voluntary assessments be returned to participating
mun ici p lities on a pro rata basis if such balance is in excess of 10 percent
of the total amou nt r eceived . If such balance is 10 percent or less of the
tot 1 amount , h balance will b trsnsferr d to the League general fund. As
it has in th past, the League ntici pates seeking reimbursement for fe sand

By way of recent examples, the League participated in a comprehensive manner
in a rate increase case filed by Mountain Bell in 1980. In that case the PUC
rejected the entire $78 million rate hike sought by Mountain Bell. The
Commission's order is now pending before the Colorado Supreme Court. In a
1982 rate proceeding, Mountain Bell requested authority to increase rates to
produce additional revenues of $127 .4 million. The League and other
intervenors protested the amount of Mountain Bell's proposed hike and in
November, 1982, the PUC issued its decision authorizing an overall rate
increase of $38 ,51 0,000. The Phase II proceeding focused on how the
$38,510,000 increase would be spread among rate payers. The PUC decided that
the rate increase authorized in Phase I should be spread on an across-the-
board basis, as urged by the League, rather than through a major price
restructuring as had been requested by Mountain Bell . The decision was a
major victory for municipalities which would have experienced large increases
in charges in private line usage for traffic signalization and similar
services, as well as for some PBX services. Under Mountain Bell's proposal,
traffic signalization rates would have increased by as much as 1800 percent.
The PU C's decision authorized a 6.79 percent across-the-board increase to be
effective on September I, 1983, together with a few other rate adjustments
authorized in the order.
Reasons for Your Municipality to Participate in 1983 Rate Proceedings.
1. Participation collectively by municipalities will help ensure that your
citizens, as customers of Mountain Bell, will have a strong voice before
the PUC to oppose the prospects of large increases in telephone rates.
2. In addition to the dir~ct impact upon your citizen , the potential
increased costa of telephone service for your municipal government far
exceeds the 6 cents per capita contribution b your municipal! y.
3 . Your participation with other municipalities and the Municipal League
will ag tn provide local officials with a unit d appro ch to address a
co on concern .
