Mayor Taylor asked if there were any other visitors wish-
ing to speak to Council at this time.
The following is a verbatim transcript of the appearance
of Mr. William Mason who requested to speak to Council concerning
the investment management of the City's three pension boards' funds:
PAT MILES: Mr. Mayor and Members of the Council, I'm Pat
Miles. I'm an attorney with the law firm of
Criswell and Patterson at 3780 South Broadway
here in Englewood. I'm appearing this even-
ing for the purpose of introducing two gentle-
men who would like to address the Council.
I believe members of Council had received
perhaps a letter from Mr. William Mason. Mr.
Mason would like to address Council this
evening. In addition to Mr. Mason and along
with Mr. Mason is Mr. Allen Gordon who would
request permission to address Council and
both gentlemen have indicated their request
is to bring to the Council's attention cer-
tain concerns they have in reference to the
City's retirement fund. By way of mere in-
troduction, Mr. Mason is president of William
Mason & Company of Woodland Hills, California,
and this is the company that has managed the
City's pension funds for approximately the
last four years. I think specifically the
employee retirement fund and the firemen's
retirement fund since 1974 and more recently
the policemen's pension fund since August of
1978. As I indicated Mr. Mason is president
of that company. I would indicate to you the
Council that the agreement between the City
and Mr. Mason's firm terminated August 22nd of
I • •

this year, last week, and Mr. Mason would like
to indicate certain concerns that he has over
the present status of that fund. Mr. Allen
Gordon is an attorney from Los Angeles who
specializes in security laws and specifically
in the federal investment advisor's act and
by way of background Mr. Gordon has been chief
counsel for the Securities Exchange Commis-
sion dealing specifically with the invest-
ment advisor's act and the investment coun-
sel act. He has been in private practice in
Los Angeles dealing specifically in this area
for the past 10 years. It's not necessary to
have an attorney appear to introduce the gentle-
men to Council; but I merely want to indicate
my only purpose in being here is to introduce
the members to Council and indicate that Mr.
Mason came to our firm because of an inability
for his firm and for himself on prior occasions
to meet with the retirement board. On several
occasions during the last month, he has made
effort to arrange a meeting and one of those
meetings have been forthcoming. He contacted
our office merely to request assistance in get-
ting this matter before Council or his concerns
before Council. I did have occasion to meet
with both Mr. Mason and Mr. Gordon late this
afternoon. Mr. Gordon has indicated to me that
he has certin concerns from a legal standpoint
that he would like to bring to Council's atten-
tion. I am going to defer any remarks with re-
ference to his legal concerns to his expertise.
I would, however, indicate that I do share some
of his concerns and I think they are matters that
Council should be made aware of. With that I
would turn over the podium to Mr. Mason if, Mr.
Mayor, that is all right.
Mr. Miles, before you do. The Council dis-
cussed your letter and your mail-o-grams in
our study session this afternoon and it's
the, under our City Charter, the Council is
not responsible or have jurisdiction over the
police and fire pension boards. There is a
connection of some sort with the City Council
and the non-emergency employees pension board
and to explain that in terms that are more
familiar to law and to legal understanding,
I'm going to defer to our City Attorney who
is the attorney for both or all three of our

boards. When Mr. George Olson called, I be-
lieve his first name is George, Olson called
me the other day. Is he your Denver repre-sentative?
Yes, he is the Denver representative.
I told him at the time, well, actually, to be
honest, he called around Tuesday, and I didn't
get back to him until Thursday, and it was too
late to get him on the scheduled visitors for
the agenda, but I told him it is the practice
of this Council, although we're not obligated
to under the Charter to ask for additional
visitors, we always do because we would like
to be as democratic as we possibly can. With
that understanding, we will hear Mr. Mason but
before we do I'd like Mr. Berardini, our
attorney, to· fill you in on how this Council
and the pension boards operate.
Mr. Miles, I think briefly stated, the Coun-
cil wonders why the correspondence was ad-
dressed to it when the boards themselves are
independent boards that are charged by statute
and by ordinance given the full responsibility
and authority to invest the funds at their dis-
cretion and under the authority granted by the
Colorado State Statutes, and perhaps you could
address this or perhaps Mr. Mason or Mr. Gordon
could, what relief you are requesting if any
from the City Council? We don't feel that the
Council, of course, has any jurisdiction to
substitute its judgement for that of the board,
the various boards of trustees of the various
pension funds. I do note that under the public
employement retirement fund, the Council may
replace a trustee under the City Code if it
so chooses by amendment to the ordinance, but,
I think the main question here is what are your
clients seeking to do and what relief are they
seeking from Council, if any?
Let me try to address those one at a time.
Why are we here tonight? I think I can best
state to Council that as early as Au,ust 7th
of this year at which time Mr. Mason s firm
was resonsible for management of the pension
funds and he met with representatives of the

City and at that time it was indicated to him
that consideration was undertaken that the
pension policy or administration of the pension
funds was being changed. He requested to meet
with the pension board and that meeting was
tentatively or to be arranged for the week fol-
lowing August 7th. They were never able to ar-
range it. They again tried to arrange a meet-
ing the subsequent week. That was never fol-
lowed through. A meeting was scheduled on August
22nd of 1979. Mr. Mason and his firm were ad-
vised prior to that .meeting that it was being
canceled. It's our understanding that the meet-
ing did take place. One of the concerns of the
company is that they have had no forum to come
before. They've not been able to meet with
the pension board to discuss the concerns that
they have with reference to the fund. As to
the relief that they are seeking here before
Council, specifically none. They want a little
bit of your time to listen to their concerns
so that it is out in the open and someone has
listened to their concerns. I don't think that
the Council necessarily has the power to take
affirmative action, but I think the Council does
have the power to listen to the concerns that
the gentlemen have.
Do I hear any objection from Council?
Your honor, I have no objection. I think that
our record of this proceeding -I would request
show the remarks of the City Attorney, though.
Certainly, Mr. Miles, you client may speak.
I wanted to be sure that everyone understood
where the City Council stands on this before
you do because the City Council can not change
what the pension boards have done.
Thank you.
So you may bring your client up if you wish.
Thank you. First I wish to thank the Mayor
and City Council and City Manager
Would you please give us your name and address?
Everything you say is on tape, you know, this
is like Watergate •

But there's no blanks.
There's no blanks involved.
My name is William Mason. I'm president of
William Mason and Company, Woodland Hills,
California. Having had the opportunity to
speak to the boards, I would not be here to-
night. So I do wish to thank you for the op-
portunity to speak. I'm not here because I
feel I have any vested right to manage the
funds of the City. Clearly, I do not. I am
here because I am absolutely appauled at the
way the decision to terminate are serious at
which arrived at and the current lack of con-
sideration of the implications of liquidating
all the securities held in the portfolios of
these plans. We have been investment counsel
to the firemen's pension plan and the City's
employment pension plan since 1974 and to the
policemen's pension plan since August of this
year. During this period, there were no com-
plaints about investment results made to us,
or fees, or other significant matters. For
weeks, we've been attempting to arrange a meet-
ing with the boards through the office of the
director of finance whom I understand left the
City's employment last Friday. We were con-
tinually put off. We were told that three suc-
cessive meetings were scheduled and that they
were then canceled. Finally, we were told that
a meeting was arranged for August 22nd. Then
we were told it was re-scheduled for September
5th. This canceled meeting was held on August
27th that's August 22nd at which time our ser-
vices were terminated. And it is our under-
standing the one-year old firm, one-year old
firm of R. H. Leary and Company was retained.
I repeat we have no vested right to manage
the City's pension funds. The boards have the
right to fire us. But if I were a board mem-
ber I would be very concerned about why Bill
Mason was not allowed to speak. Was it just
bad manners or was someone afraid of what I
would say? We have been managers of these
plans for five years. I have been in the in-
vestment business for almost 20 years. Not
as a customer's man for a brokerage firm.
Not as a mutual fund salesman. But an in-
vestment analysis and investment manager •

I would think it would be understood that
my views were of some value. Common sense
would suggest that before they bought an in-
vested program from someone who had an eco-
nomic interest in selling it to them that
they would at least listen to the other side.
Now, as I said, I was not at the August 22nd
meeting so I do not know exactly what happened.
But, it is my understanding that at that meet-
ing, a new set of investment guidelines were
adopted and the firm of R. M. Leary and Com-
pany was engaged to .manage the pension assets.
I find it particularly ironic that at that meet-
ing, that meeting that I was refused attendance,
the following guideline was accepted. I quote,
"it is the desire of the pension board to meet
quarterly in person with the investment manager
responsible for this account to review the fol-
lowing" and then there's a whole list of legi-
timate investment concerns. That's all I de-
sired, an opportunity to meet with the boards.
Had I been given the opportunity to speak, I
would have raised the following points. First,
as a result of the actions taken on August
22nd a first rate set of investment guidelines
brought up earlier this year by Mr. James and
by Mr. Johannisson, guidelines which contain
substantial and specific investment safeguards
would have to be abandon. A mutual fund switch-
ing program such as R. M. Leary and Company
specializes in would probably violate these
guidelines. My aecond concern, the second
point I would raise was that you were hiring an
investment advisor who had been in business for
barely one year. Who had little actual experi-
ence managing investments and had an invest-
ment performance record which was largely hypo-
thetical. Furthermore, it involved the use of
load mutual funds, an investment vehicle that
is so discredited that it has been equated by
one well-known writer as "throwing money out
the window". Third, I would stand by the cost
estimates which I made in my letters to the
City Council. Both the substantial one-time
cost and the double management fees that would
continue. I would also like to point out that
your guidelines call for your investment ad-
visor to carry fiduciary liability insurance.
Does he? Has anyone seen the policy? Has the
City Attorney reviewed it? Only three com-

pan~es write such coverage, only three com-
pan~es in the insurance industry in this coun-
try. Two of them began writing it this year.
One only writes for members of the Investment
Counsel Association of America of which there
are 80 members, 80 members out of 5,000 invest-
ment advisors. One of the terms of the con-
tract is that if you cease to become an in-
vestment, a member of the investment counsel
association, you policy automatically lapses.
Finally, a mutual fund switching program such
as that offered by R. M. Leary and Company
could well violate the new guidelines. Few
mutual funds will place pointless restrictions
on the investment policy the new guidelines
call for. For instance, your new guidelines
would prevent you from purchasing any new con-
vertible bonds, but allow you to buy in at lower
quantity common stocks from the same companies.
Totally illogical. The final issue that we
would like to address ourselves to is largely
a legal point, but one of great importance,
and I would like to turn the floor over to
Mr. Gordon to handle that. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Mason.
Thank you, your Honor, Members of the Council,
I appreciate very much for your time to ad-
dress you this evening. I have just two points
to make to you.
Would you give us your name, please?
My name is Allen Gordon. I'm a practicing
lawyer. My office is in Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia. I am not a member of the bar in the
State of Colorado. I have represented and
provided legal advice to William Mason and
Company for the past three or four years.
My practice specializes in federal securities
laws and regulations; and I have personal
familiarity with the investment business.
There are two established principals of the
Securities Exchange Commission that I think
are in question here. One is that they have
set in writing that it is fradulent per se
for any investment advisor to represent as
investment management results, numerical
statistical studies that are purely hypo-
thetical. And what that means is, if you've
I •
-
•
•
•

•
• . . •
been managing assets over a per iod of time
you can show what the actual re s u lts were
that were achieved in the actual managemen t
of those assets if you don't do it in a
selective and improper way picking ou t on l y
the accounts that did well and e l iminating
the accounts that did badly, but represent-
ing accurately the actual results over all
accounts over time. But what you can't do
is to look back hypothetically and say that
if over the last ten years some program which
was not actually in.effect had been followed
here are the results that would have been
achieved. The SEC has said that that is simply
fradulent and the reason is perfectly clear.
Anyone can look backwards over time and see
where the stock market hits its tops and where
it hit its bottoms, and say, well, if we had
sold out at the top and if we had bought back
at the bottom, here's what the results would
have been on a thousand dollars that had been
invested in that fashion over ten years. But,
of course, nobody has the ability to do that,
starting from today and working forward into
the future because nobody knows in advance where
the tops and bottoms will be. That's one point.
The second point is that the Congress at the
recommendation of the Securities Exchange Com-
mission recently amended the statute to make
a distinction in law between a registered in-
vestment advisor and investment counseling
firm. Any firm that publishes investment re-
ports must register with the SEC as an invest-
ment advisor. Many people have been led to
feel that if a firm was registered with the
Commission as an investment advisor, it must
be reliable, experienced and knowledgeable.
When in fact, all the statute requires is no-
tice to the SEC that you are engaged in this
line of business. So a distinction was writ-
ten into the law and it says it's unlawful to
represent that you are an investment counsel-
ing firm unless the substantial character of
your business is to provide discretionary in-
vestment management of other people's assets
on a continuing basis with regard to the speci-
fic investment needs of the accounts under
management. If that's what your business is,
then it's lawful for you to represent that
you're an investment counselor and not other-
wise. Your ordinance with respect to the
•
I •

•
•

Page 12
•
• •
management of the assets of your pension and
profit sharing plans for your municipal em-
ployees, firemen and police officers provides
that the boards of trustees may adopt any one
of five alternative approaches to the invest-
ment management of the assets of these plans.
One would be to buy an annuity contract with
an insurance company. Another would be to
employ a bank. The last of these five is
the one that is pertinent this evening. It
is very short. I would like to read it to
you. It says, "to obtain on an discretionary
basis, an investment advisor, licensed as such
under the United States Advisor's Act of 1940,
which investment advisor is also an investment
counsel as defined in said act." I think the
meaning of the ordinance is quite clear. One
permitted alternative is to employ an invest-
ment firm to supervise, actually manage the in-
vestment of the assets of these plans. Mr.
Mason asked me, on Friday of last week, whether
a registered investment advisor whose busi-
ness it is to generate buy and sell recom-
mendations of switching assets from one mu-
tual fund to another based on market-timing
judgements when the market has reached its
high, sell your common stock mutual fund, put
the money in a fixed-dollar mutual fund.
Whether that type of business arrangement is
the sort of business activity that qualifies
to be an investment counseling business. My
judgement on the point was no. It certainly
does not because it does not involve actually
determining what securities, what stock and
bonds should be bought and when and at what
price and why with this particular plan's
needs. It's a rather blunt instrument is what
it is, in which if you do right, you do very
well and when you are wrong, the results are
disastrous. I checked that personal legal
opinion because this is not a commonly asked
question by telephoning the SEC staff in
Washington and talking with the current as-
sistant director of the divison that adminis-
ters this statute, and he said I quite agree
with you, Allen, this is not what this statute
means when it speaks of an investment coun-
seling firm. Your ordinance incorporates by
reference the standards of this federal statute.
If this new arrangement that was entered into
on the 22nd of August is not in fact an arranage-
•

ment with the investment counseling firm to pro-
vide management on a discretionary basis to
these assets, it does not -it is not authorized
by this provision of the ordinance. If it isn't
authorized by this provision of the ordinance,
it isn't authorized by any provision of this
ordinance. And if that's so, the trustees of
these plans would not have the benefit of the
provision that limits their personal liability
if, which I'll read it very briefly, "and the
trustees shall not be liable either as a body
or individually for .the making, retention, or
sale of any investment as wherein provided".
That says to me that if the trustees adopted
any one of these five specified modes of manage-
ment, the trustees are protected and if they
don't, they're not. You know, Mr. Mason was
simply not given the opportunity to be present
at the meeting when the boards of trustees
of these plans at which judgement was made to
terminate the services of his firm after five
years and employ some other new arrangement.
So, of course, we don't have any very exact
knowledge of what the new arrangement con-
sists of. Obviously, we've been trying to
find out. We would much prefer to go for-
ward on the basis of accurate and reliable
information, but we have to do the best we
can and based on what we do know, it appears
that the retirement boards have hired a one-
year old firm to provide a mutual fund tim-
ing switching service. Thank you, gentle-
ment, very much. That's concludes my pre-
sentation.
We thank you for your information.

Mayor Taylor asked if there were any other visitors wish-ing to speak to Council at this time.
The following is a verbatim transcript of the appearance
of Mr. William Mason who requested to speak to Council concerning
the investment management of the City's three pension boards' funds:
PAT HILES: Hr. Mayor and Members of the Council, I'm Pat
Miles. I'm an attorney with the law firm of
Criswell and Patterson at 3780 South Broadway
here in Englewood. I'm appearing this even-
ing for the purpose of introducing two gentle-
men who would like to address the Council.
I believe members of Council had received
perhaps a letter from Mr. William Mason. Hr.
Mason would like to address Council this
evening. In addition to Mr. Mason and along
with Mr. Mason is Mr. Allen Gordon who would
request permission to address Council and
both gentlemen have indicated their request
is to bring to the Council's attention cer-
tain concerns they have in reference to the
City's retirement fund. By way of mere in-
troduction, Hr. Mason is president of William
Mason & Company of Woodland Hills, California,
and this is the company that has managed the
City's pension funds for approximately the
last four years. I think specifically the
employee retirement fund and the firemen's
retirement fund since 1974 and more recently
the policemen's pension fund since August of
1978. As I indicated Mr. Mason is president
of that company. I would indicate to you the
Council that the agreement between the City
and Mr. Mason's firm terminated August 22nd of
I •

this year, last week, and Mr. Mason would like
to indicate certain concerns that he has over
the present status of that fund. Mr. Allen
Gordon is an attorney from Los Angeles who
specializes in security laws and specifically
in the federal investment advisor's act and
by way of background Mr. Gordon has been chief
counsel for the Securities Exchange Commis-
sion dealing specifically with the invest-
ment advisor's act and the investment coun-
sel act. He has been in private practice in
Los Angeles dealing -specifically in this area
for the past 10 years. It's not necessary to
have an attorney appear to introduce the gentle-
men to Council; but I merely want to indicate
my only purpose in being here is to introduce
the members to Council and indicate that Mr.
Mason came to our firm because of an inability
for his firm and for himself on prior occasions
to meet with the retirement board. On several
occasions during the last month, he has made
effort to arrange a meeting and one of those
meetings have been forthcoming. He contacted
our office merely to request assistance in get-
ting this matter before Council or his concerns
before Council. I did have occasion to meet
with both Mr. Mason and Mr. Gordon late this
afternoon. Mr. Gordon has indicated to me that
he has certin concerns from a legal standpoint
that he would like to bring to Council's atten-
tion. I am going to defer any remarks with re-
ference to his legal concerns to his expertise.
I would, however, indicate that I do share some
of his concerns and I think they are matters that
Council should be made aware of. With that I
would turn over the podium to Mr. Mason if, Mr.
Mayor, that is all right.
Mr. Miles, before you do. The Council dis-
cussed your letter and your mail-o-grams in
our study session this afternoon and it's
the, under our City Charter, the Council is
not responsible or have jurisdiction over the
police and fire pension boards. There is a
connection of some sort with the City Council
and the non-emergency employees pension board
and to explain that in terms that are more
familiar to law and to legal understanding,
I'm going to defer to our City Attorney who
is the attorney for both or all three of our

boards. When Mr. George Olson called, I be-
lieve his first name is George, Olson called
me the other day. Is he your Denver repre-
sentative?
Yes, he is the Denver representative.
I told him at the time, well, actually, to be
honest, he called around Tuesday, and I didn't
get back to him until Thursday, and it was too
late to get him on the scheduled visitors for
the agenda, but I told him it is the practice
of this Council, although we're not obligated
to under the Charter to ask for additional
visitors, we always do because we would like
to be as democratic as we possibly can. With
that understanding, we will hear Mr. Mason but
before we do I'd like Mr. Berardini, our
attorney, to fill you in on how this Council
and the pension boards operate.
Mr. Miles, I think briefly stated, the Coun-
cil wonders why the correspondence was ad-
dressed to it when the boards themselves are
independent boards that are charged by statute
and by ordinance given the full responsibility
and authority to invest the funds at their dis-
cretion and under the authority granted by the
Colorado State Statutes, and perhaps you could
address this or perhaps Mr. Mason or Mr. Gordon
could, what relief you are requesting if any
from the City Council? We don't feel that the
Council, of course, has any jurisdiction to
substitute its judgement for that of the board,
the various boards of trustees of the various
pension funds. I do note that under the public
employement retirement fund, the Council may
replace a trustee under the City Code if it
so chooses by amendment to the ordinance, but,
I think the main question here is what are your
clients seeking to do and what relief are they
seeking from Council, if any?
Let me try to address those one at a time.
Why are we here tonight? I think I can best
state to Council that as early as Au~ust 7th
of this year at which time Mr. Mason s firm
was resonsible for management of the pension
funds and he met with representatives of the
•
I •
-
•
•
•

Page 7
•
• •
City and at that time it was indicated to him
that consideration was undertaken that the
pension policy or administration of the pension
funds was being changed. He requested to meet
with the pension board and that meeting was
tentatively or to be arranged for the week fol-
lowing August 7th. They were never able to ar-
range it. They again tried to arrange a meet-
ing the subsequent week. That was never fol-
lowed through. A meeting was scheduled on August
22nd of 1979. Mr. Mason and his firm were ad-
vised prior to that .meeting that it was being
canceled. It's our understanding that the meet-
ing did take place. One of the concerns of the
company is that they have had no forum to come
before. They've not been able to meet with
the pension board to discuss the concerns that
they have with reference to the fund. As to
the relief that they are seeking here before
Council, specifically none. They want a little
bit of your time to listen to their concerns
so that it is out in the open and someone has •
listened to their concerns. I don't think that
the Council necessarily has the power to take
affirmative action, but I think the Council does
have the power to listen to the concerns that
the gentlemen have.
MAYOR TAYLOR: Do I hear any objection from Council?
COUNCILMAN CLAYTON: Your honor, I have no objection. I think that
our record of this proceeding - I would request
show the remarks of the City Attorney, though.

I wanted to be sure that everyone understood
where the City Council stands on this before
you do because the City Council can not change
what the pension boards have done •

So you may bring your client up if you wish.
Thank you. First I wish to thank the Mayor
and City Council and City Manager

WILLIAM MASON:

But there's no blanks.
There's no blanks involved.
My name is William Mason. I'm president of
William Mason and Company, Woodland Hills,
California. Having had the opportunity to
speak to the boards, I would not be here to-
night. So I do wish to thank you for the op-
portunity to speak. I'm not here because I
feel I have any vested right to manage the
funds of the City. Clearly, I do not. I am
here because I am absolutely appauled at the
way the decision to terminate are serious at
which arrived at and the current lack of con-
sideration of the implications of liquidating
all the securities held in the portfolios of
these plans. We have been investment counsel
to the firemen's pension plan and the City's
employment pension plan since 1974 and to the
policemen's pension plan since August of this
year. During this period, there were no com-
plaints about investment results made to us,
or fees, or other significant matters. For
weeks, we've been attempting to arrange a meet-
ing with the boards through the office of the
director of finance whom I understand left the
City's employment last Friday. We were con-
tinually put off. We were told that three suc-
cessive meetings were scheduled and that they
were then canceled. Finally, we were told that
a meeting was arranged for August 22nd. Then
we were told it was re-scheduled for September
5th. This canceled meeting was held on August
27th that's August 22nd at which time our ser-
vices were terminated. And it is our under-
standing the one-year old firm, one-year old
firm of R. M. Leary and Company was retained.
I repeat we have no vested right to manage
the City's pension funds. The boards have the
right to fire us. But if I were a board mem-
ber I would be very concerned about why Bill
Mason was not allowed to speak. Was it just
bad manners or was someone afraid of what I
would say? We have been managers of these
plans for five years. I have been in the in-
vestment business for almost 20 years. Not
as a customer's man for a brokerage firm.
Not as a mutual fund salesman. But an in-
vestment analysis and investment manager •

I would think it would be understood that
my views were of some value. Common sense
would suggest that before they bought an in-
vested program from someone who had an eco-
nomic interest in selling it to them that
they would at least listen to the other side.
Now, as I said, I was not at the August 22nd
meeting so I do not know exactly what happened.
But, it is my understanding that at that meet-
ing, a new set of investment guidelines were
adopted and the firm of R. M. Leary and Com-
pany was engaged to .manage the pension assets.
I find it particularly ironic that at that meet-
ing, that meeting that I was refused attendance,
the following guideline was accepted. I quote,
"it is the desire of the pension board to meet
quarterly in person with the investment manager
responsible for this account to review the fol-
lowing" and then there's a whole list of legi-
timate investment concerns. That's all I de-
sired, an opportunity to meet with the boards.
Had I been given the opportunity to speak, I
would have raised the following points. First,
as a result of the actions taken on August
22nd a first rate set of investment guidelines
brought up earlier this year by Mr. James and
by Mr. Johannisson, guidelines which contain
substantial and specific investment safeguards
would have to be abandon. A mutual fund switch-
ing program such as R. M. Leary and Company
specializes in would probably violate these
guidelines. My second concern, the second
point I would raise was that you were hiring an
investment advisor who had been in business for
barely one year. Who had little actual experi-
ence managing investments and had an invest-
ment performance record which was largely hypo-
thetical. Furthermore, it involved the use of
load mutual funds, an investment vehicle that
is so discredited that it has been equated by
one well-known writer as "throwing money out
the window". Third, I would stand by the cost
estimates which I made in my letters to the
City Council. Both the substantial one-time
cost and the double management fees that would
continue. I would also like to point out that
your guidelines call for your investment ad-
visor to carry fiduciary liability insurance.
Does he? Has anyone seen the policy? Has the
City Attorney reviewed it? Only three com-

pan~es write such coverage, only three com-
panLes in the insurance industry in this coun-
try. Two of them began writing it this year.
One only writes for members of the Investment
Counsel Association of America of which there
are 80 members, 80 members out of 5,000 invest-
ment advisors. One of the terms of the con-
tract is that if you cease to become an in-
vestment, a member of the investment counsel
association, you policy automatically lapses.
Finally, a mutual fund switching program such
as that offered by R. M. Leary and Company
could well violate the new guidelines. Few
mutual funds will place pointless restrictions
on the investment policy the new guidelines
call for. For instance, your new guidelines
would prevent you from purchasing any new con-
vertible bonds, but allow you to buy in at lower
quantity common stocks from the same companies.
Totally illogical. The final issue that we
would like to address ourselves to is largely
a legal point, but one of great importance,
and I would like to turn the floor over to
Mr. Gordon to handle that. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Mason.
Thank you, your Honor, Members of the Council,
I appreciate very much for your time to ad-
dress you this evening. I have just two points
to make to you.
Would you give us your name, please?
My name is Allen Gordon. I'm a practicing
lawyer. My office is in Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia. I am not a member of the bar in the
State of Colorado. I have represented and
provided legal advice to William Mason and
Company for the past three or four years.
My practice specializes in federal securities
laws and regulations; and I have personal
familiarity with the investment business.
There are two established principals of the
Securities Exchange Commission that I think
are in question here. One is that they have
set in writing that it is fradulent per se
for any investment advisor to represent as
investment management results, numerical
statistical studies that are purely hypo-
thetical. And what that means is, if you've
•
I •
-
•
•
•
September 4, 1979
Page 11
•
• •
been managing assets over a period of time
you can show what the actual results were
that were achieved in the actual management
of those assets if you don't do it in a
selective and improper way picking out only
the accounts that did well and eliminating
the accounts that did badly, but represent-
ing accurately the actual results over all
accounts over time. But what you can't do
is to look back hypothetically and say that
if over the last ten years some program which
was not actually in.effect had been followed
here are the results that would have been
achieved. The SEC has said that that is simply
fradulent and the reason is perfectly clear.
Anyone can look backwards over time and see
where the stock market hits its tops and where
it hit its bottoms, and say, well, if we had
sold out at the top and if we had bought back
at the bottom, here's what the results would
have been on a thousand dollars that had been
invested in that fashion over ten years. But,
of course, nobody has the ability to do that,
starting from today and working forward into
the future because nobody knows in advance where
the tops and bottoms will be. That's one point.
The second point is that the Congress at the
recommendation of the Securities Exchange Com-
mission recently amended the statute to make
a distinction in law between a registered in-
vestment advisor and investment counseling
firm. Any firm that publishes investment re-
ports must register with the SEC as an invest-
ment advisor. Many people have been led to
feel that if a firm was registered with the
Commission as an investment advisor, it must
be reliable, experienced and knowledgeable.
When in fact, all the statute requires is no-
tice to the SEC that you are engaged in this
line of business. So a distinction was writ-
ten into the law and it says it's unlawful to
represent that you are an investment counsel-
ing firm unless the substantial character of
your business is to provide discretionary in-
vestment management of other people's assets
on a continuing basis with regard to the speci-
fic investment needs of the accounts under
management. If that's what your business is,
then it's lawful for you to represent that
you're an investment counselor and not other-
wise. Your ordinance with respect to the

management of the assets of your pension and
profit sharing plans for your municipal em-
ployees, firemen and police officers provides
that the boards of trustees may adopt any one
of five alternative approaches to the invest-
ment management of the assets of these plans.
One would be to buy an annuity contract with
an insurance company. Another would be to
employ a bank. The last of these five is
the one that is pertinent this evening. It
is very short. I would like to read it to
you. It says, "to obtain on an discretionary
basis, an investment advisor, licensed as such
under the United States Advisor's Act of 1940,
which investment advisor is also an investment
counsel as defined in said act." I think the
meaning of the ordinance is quite clear. One
permitted alternative is to employ an invest-
ment firm to supervise, actually manage the in-
vestment of the assets of these plans. Mr.
Mason asked me, on Friday of last week, whether
a registered investment advisor whose busi-
ness it is to generate buy and sell recom-
mendations of switching assets from one mu-
tual fund to another based on market-timing
judgements when the market has reached its
high, sell your common stock mutual fund, put
the money in a fixed-dollar mutual fund.
Whether that type of business arrangement is
the sort of business activity that qualifies
to be an investment counseling business. My
judgement on the point was no. It certainly
does not because it does not involve actually
determining what securities, what stock and
bonds should be bought and when and at what
price and why with this particular plan's
needs. It's a rather blunt instrument is what
it is, in which if you do right, you do very
well and when you are wrong, the results are
disastrous. I checked that personal legal
opinion because this is not a commonly asked
question by telephoning the SEC staff in
Washington and talking with the current as-
sistant director of the divison that adminis-
ters this statute, and he said I quite agree
with you, Allen, this is not what this statute
means when it speaks of an investment coun-
seling firm. Your ordinance incorporates by
reference the standards of this federal statute.
If this new arrangement that was entered into
on the 22nd of August is not in fact an arranage-

ment with the investment counseling firm to pro-
vide management on a discretionary basis to
these assets, it does not -it is not authorized
by this provision of the ordinance. If it isn't
authorized by this provision of the ordinance,
it isn't authorized by any provision of this
ordinance. And if that's so, the trustees of
these plans would not have the benefit of the
provision that limits their personal liability
if, which I'll read it very briefly, "and the
trustees shall not be liable either as a body
or individually for .the making, retention, or
sale of any investment as wherein provided".
That says to me that if the trustees adopted
any one of these five specified modes of manage-
ment, the trustees are protected and if they
don't, they're not. You know, Mr. Mason was
simply not given the opportunity to be present
at the meeting when the boards of trustees
of these plans at which judgement was made to
terminate the services of his firm after five
years and employ some other new arrangement.
So, of course, we don't have any very exact
knowledge of what the new arrangement con-
sists of. Obviously, we've been trying to
find out. We would much prefer to go for-
ward on the basis of accurate and reliable
information, but we have to do the best we
can and based on what we do know, it appears
that the retirement boards have hired a one-
year old firm to provide a mutual fund tim-
ing switching service. Thank you, gentle-
ment, very much. That's concludes my pre-
sentation.
We thank you for your information.

Mayor Taylor asked if there were any other visitors wish-ing to speak to Council at this time.
The following is a verbatim transcript of the appearance
of Mr. William Mason who requested to speak to Council concerning
the investment management of the City's three pension boards' funds:
PAT MILES: Mr. Mayor and Members of the Council, I'm Pat
Miles. I'm an attorney with the law firm of
Criswell and Patterson at 3780 South Broadway
here in Englewood. I'm appearing this even-
ing for the purpose of introducing two gentle-
men who would like to address the Council.
I believe members of Council had received
perhaps a letter from Mr. William Mason. Mr.
Mason would like to address Council this
evening. In addition to Mr. Mason and along
with Mr. Mason is Mr. Allen Gordon who would
request permission to address Council and
both gentlemen have indicated their request
is to bring to the Council's attention cer-
tain concerns they have in reference to the
City's retirement fund. By way of mere in-
troduction, Mr. Mason is president of William
Mason & Company of Woodland Hills, California,
and this is the company that has managed the
City's pension funds for approximately the
last four years. I think specifically the
employee retirement fund and the firemen's
retirement fund since 1974 and more recently
the policemen's pension fund since August of
1978. As I indicated Mr. Mason is president
of that company. I would indicate to you the
Council that the agreement between the City
and Mr. Mason's firm terminated August 22nd of
..

this year, last week, and Mr. Mason would like
to indicate certain concerns that he has over
the present status of that fund. Mr. Allen
Gordon is an attorney from Los Angeles who
specializes in security laws and specifically
in the federal investment advisor's act and
by way of background Mr. Gordon has been chief
counsel for the Securities Exchange Commis-
sion dealing specifically with the invest-
ment advisor's act and the investment coun-
sel act. He has been in private practice in
Los Angeles dealing -specifically in this area
for the past 10 years. It's not necessary to
have an attorney appear to introduce the gentle-
men to Council; but I merely want to indicate
my only purpose in being here is to introduce
the members to Council and indicate that Mr.
Mason came to our firm because of an inability
for his firm and for himself on prior occasions
to meet with the retirement board. On several
occasions during the last month, he has made
effort to arrange a meeting and one of those
meetings have been forthcoming. He contacted
our office merely to request assistance in get-
ting this matter before Council or his concerns
before Council. I did have occasion to meet
with both Mr. Mason and Mr. Gordon late this
afternoon. Mr. Gordon has indicated to me that
he has certin concerns from a legal standpoint
that he would like to bring to Council's atten-
tion. I am going to defer any remarks with re-
ference to his legal concerns to his expertise.
I would, however, indicate that I do share some
of his concerns and I think they are matters that
Council should be made aware of. With that I
would turn over the podium to Mr. Mason if, Mr.
Mayor, that is all right •
Mr. Miles, before you do. The Council dis-
cussed your letter and your mail-o-grams in
our study session this afternoon and it's
the, under our City Charter, the Council is
not responsible or have jurisdiction over the
police and fire pension boards. There is a
connection of some sort with the City Council
a~d the non-emergency employees pension board
and to explain that in terms that are more
familiar to law and to legal understanding,
I'm going to defer to our City Attorney who
is the attorney for both or all three of our

boards. When Mr. George Olson called, I be-
lieve his first name is George, Olson called
me the other day. Is he your Denver repre-sentative?
Yes, he is the Denver representative.
I told him at the time, well, actually, to be
honest, he called around Tuesday, and I didn't
get back to him until Thursday, and it was too
late to get him on the scheduled visitors for
the agenda, but I told him it is the practice
of this Council, although we're not obligated
to under the Charter to ask for additional
visitors, we always do because we would like
to be as democratic as we possibly can. With
that understanding, we will hear Mr. Mason but
before we do I'd like Mr. Berardini, our
attorney, to fill you in on how this Council
and the pension boards operate.
Mr. Miles, I think briefly stated, the Coun-
cil wonders why the correspondence was ad-
dressed to it when the boards themselves are
independent boards that are charged by statute
and by ordinance given the full responsibility
and authority to invest the funds at their dis-
cretion and under the authority granted by the
Colorado State Statutes, and perhaps you could
address this or perhaps Hr. Mason or Mr. Gordon
could, what relief you are requesting if any
from the City Council? We don't feel that the
Council, of course, has any jurisdiction to
substitute its judgement for that of the board,
the various boards of trustees of the various
pension funds. I do note that under the public
employement retirement fund, the Council may
replace a trustee under the City Code if it
so chooses by amendment to the ordinance, but,
I think the main question here is what are your
clients seeking to do and what relief are they
seeking from Council, if any?
Let me try to address those one at a time.
Why are we here tonight? I think I can best
state to Council that as early as Au,ust 7th
of this year at which time Mr. Mason s firm
was resonsible for management of the pension
funds and he met with representatives of the
I •
-
(
•
•
•
September 4, 1979

•
• •
City and at that time it was indicated to him
that consideration was undertaken that the
pension policy or administration of the pension
funds was being changed. He requested to meet
with the pension board and that meeting was
tentatively or to be arranged for the week fol-
lowing August 7th. They were never able to ar-
range it. They again tried to arrange a meet-
ing the subsequent week. That was never fol-
lowed through. A meeting was scheduled on August
22nd of 1979. Mr. Mason and his firm were ad-
vised prior to that .meeting that it was being
canceled. It's our understanding that the meet-
ing did take place. One of the concerns of the
company is that they have had no forum to come
before. They've not been able to meet with
the pension board to discuss the concerns that
they have with reference to the fund. As to
the relief that they are seeking here before
Council, specifically none. They want a little
bit of your time to listen to their concerns
so that it is out in the open and someone has
listened to their concerns. I don't think that
the Council necessarily has the power to take
affirmative action, but I think the Council does
have the power to listen to the concerns that
the gentlemen have.
MAYOR TAYLOR: Do I hear any objection from Council?
COUNCILMAN CLAYTON: Your honor, I have no objection. I think that
our record of this proceeding - I would request
show the remarks of the City Attorney, though.

Certainly, Mr. Miles, you client may speak.
I wanted to be sure that everyone understood
where the City Council stands on this before
you do because the City Council can not change
what the pension boards have done.
Thank you.
So you may bring your client up if you wish.
Thank you. First I wish to thank the Mayor
and City Council and City Manager

But there's no blanks.
There's no blanks involved.
My name is William Mason. I'm president of
William Mason and Company, Woodland Hills,
California. Having had the opportunity to
speak to the boards, I would not be here to-
night. So I do wish to thank you for the op-
portunity to speak. I'm not here because I
feel I have any vested right to manage the
funds of the City. Clearly, I do not. I am
here because I .am absolutely appauled at the
way the decision to terminate are serious at
which arrived at and the current lack of con-
sideration of the implications of liquidating
all the securities held in the portfolios of
these plans. We have been investment counsel
to the firemen's pension plan and the City's
employment pension plan since 1974 and to the
policemen's pension plan since August of this
year. During this period, there were no com-
plaints about investment results made to us,
or fees, or other significant matters. For
weeks, we've been attempting to arrange a meet-
ing with the boards through the office of the
director of finance whom I understand left the
City's employment last Friday. We were con-
tinually put off. We were told that three suc-
cessive meetings were scheduled and that they
were then canceled. Finally, we were told that
a meeting was arranged for August 22nd. Then
we were told it was re-scheduled for September
5th. This canceled meeting was held on August
27th that's August 22nd at which time our ser-
vices were terminated. And it is our under-
standing the one-year old firm, one-year old
firm of R. M. Leary and Company was retained •
I repeat we have no vested right to manage
the City's pension funds. The boards have the
right to fire us. But if I were a board mem-
ber I would be very concerned about why Bill
Mason was not allowed to speak. Was it just
bad manners or was someone afraid of what I
would say? We have been managers of these
plans for five years. I have been in the in-
vestment business for almost 20 years. Not
as a customer's man for a brokerage firm.
Not as a mutual fund salesman. But an in-
vestment analysis and investment manager •

I would think it would be understood that
my views were of some value. Common sense
would suggest that before they bought an in-
vested program from someone who had an eco-
nomic interest in selling it to them that
they would at least listen to the other side.
Now, as I said, I was not at the August 22nd
meeting so I do not know exactly what happened.
But, it is my understanding that at that meet-
ing, a new set of investment guidelines were
adopted and the firm of R. M. Leary and Com-
pany was engaged to .manage the pension assets.
I find it particularly ironic that at that meet-
ing, that meeting that I was refused attendance,
the following guideline was accepted. I quote,
"it is the desire of the pension board to meet
quarterly in person with the investment manager
responsible for this account to review the fol-
lowing" and then there's a whole list of legi-
timate investment concerns. That's all I de-
sired, an opportunity to meet with the boards.
Had I been given the opportunity to speak, I
would have raised the following points. First,
as a result of the actions taken on August
22nd a first rate set of investment guidelines
brought up earlier this year by Mr. James and
by Mr. Johannisson, guidelines which contain
substantial and specific investment safeguards
would have to be abandon. A mutual fund switch-
ing program such as R. M. Leary and Company
specializes in would probably violate these
guidelines. My second concern, the second
point I would raise was that you were hiring an
investment advisor who had been in business for
barely one year. Who had little actual experi-
ence managing investments and had an invest-
ment performance record which was largely hypo-
thetical. Furthermore, it involved the use of
load mutual funds, an investment vehicle that
is so discredited that it has been equated by
one well-known writer as "throwing money out
the window". Third, I would stand by the cost
estimates which I made in my letters to the
City Council. Both the substantial one-time
cost and the double management fees that would
continue. I would also like to point out that
your guidelines call for your investment ad-
visor to carry fiduciary liability insurance.
Does he? Has anyone seen the policy? Has the
City Attorney reviewed it? Only three com-

pan~es write such coverage, only three com-
panLes in the insurance industry in this coun-
try. Two of them began writing it this year.
One only writes for members of the Investment
Counsel Association of America of which there
are 80 members, 80 members out of 5,000 invest-
ment advisors. One of the terms of the con-
tract is that if you cease to become an in-
vestment, a member of the investment counsel
association, you policy automatically lapses.
Finally, a mutual fund switching program such
as that offered by R. M. Leary and Company
could well violate the new guidelines. Few
mutual funds will place pointless restrictions
on the investment policy the new guidelines
call for. For instance, your new guidelines
would prevent you from purchasing any new con-
vertible bonds, but allow you to buy in at lower
quantity common stocks from the same companies.
Totally illogical. The final issue that we
would like to address ourselves to is largely
a legal point, but one of great importance,
and I would like to turn the floor over to
Mr. Gordon to handle that. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Mason.
Thank you, your Honor, Members of the Council,
I appreciate very much for your time to ad-
dress you this evening. I have just two points
to make to you.
Would you give us your name, please?
My name is Allen Gordon. I'm a practicing
lawyer. My office is in Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia. I am not a member of the bar in the
State of Colorado. I have represented and
provided legal advice to William Mason and
Company for the past three or four years.
My practice specializes in federal securities
laws and regulations; and I have personal
familiarity with the investment business.
There are two established principals of the
Securities Exchange Commission that I think
are in question here. One is that they have
set in writing that it is fradulent per se
for any investment advisor to represent as
investment management results, numerical
statistical studies that are purely hypo-
thetical. And what that means is, if you've
•
I •
-
(
(
•
September 4, 1979
Page 11
•
• •
been managing assets over a period of time
you can show what the actual results were
that were achieved in the actual management
of those assets if you don't do it in a
selective and improper way picking out only
the accounts that did well and eliminating
the accounts that did badly, but represent-
ing accurately the actual results over all
accounts over time. But what you can't do
is to look back hypothetically and say that
if over the last ten years some program which
was not actually in.effect had been followed
here are the results that would have been
achieved. The SEC has said that that is simply
fradulent and the reason is perfectly clear.
Anyone can look backwards over time and see
where the stock market hits its tops and where
it hit its bottoms, and say, well, if we had
sold out at the top and if we had bought back
at the bottom, here's what the results would
have been on a thousand dollars that had been
invested in that fashion over ten years. But,
of course, nobody has the ability to do that,
starting from today and working forward into
the future because nobody knows in advance where
the tops and bottoms will be. That's one point.
The second point is that the Congress at the
recommendation of the Securities Exchange Com-
mission recently amended the statute to make
a distinction in law between a registered in-
vestment advisor and investment counseling
firm. Any firm that publishes investment re-
ports must register with the SEC as an invest-
ment advisor. Many people have been led to
feel that if a firm was registered with the
Commission as an investment advisor, it must
be reliable, experienced and knowledgeable.
When in fact, all the statute requires is no-
tice to the SEC that you are engaged in this
line of business. So a distinction was writ-
ten into the law and it says it's unlawful to
represent that you are an investment counsel-
ing firm unless the substantial character of
your business is to provide discretionary in-
vestment management of other people's assets
on a continuing basis with regard to the speci-
fic investment needs of the accounts under
management. If that's what your business is,
then it's lawful for you to represent that
you're an investment counselor and not other-
wise. Your ordinance with respect to the
I •

0 1

•

Page 12
•
• •
management of the assets of your pension and
profit sharing plans for your municipal em-
ployees, firemen and police officers provides
that the boards of trustees may adopt any one
of five alternative approaches to the invest-
ment management of the assets of these plans.
One would be to buy an annuity contract with
an insurance company. Another would be to
employ a bank. The last of these five is
the one that is pertinent this evening. It
is very short. I would like to read it to
you. It says, "to obtain on an discretionary
basis, an investment advisor, licensed as such
under the United States Advisor's Act of 1940,
which investment advisor is also an investment
counsel as defined in said act." I think the
meaning of the ordinance is quite clear. One
permitted alternative is to employ an invest-
ment firm to supervise, actually manage the in-
vestment of the assets of these plans. Mr.
Mason asked me, on Friday of last week, whether
a registered investment advisor whose busi-
ness it is to generate buy and sell recom-
mendations of switching assets from one mu-
tual fund to another based on market-timing
judgements when the market has reached its
high, sell your common stock mutual fund, put
the money in a fixed-dollar mutual fund.
Whether that type of business arrangement is
the sort of business activity that qualifies
to be an investment counseling business. My
judgement on the point was no. It certainly
does not because it does not involve actually
determining what securities, what stock and
bonds should be bought and when and at what
price and why with this particular plan's
needs. It's a rather blunt instrument is what
it is, in which if you do right, you do very
well and when you are wrong, the results are
disastrous. I checked that personal legal
opinion because this is not a commonly asked
question by telephoning the SEC staff in
Washington and talking with the current as-
sistant director of the divison that adminis-
ters this statute, and he said I quite agree
with you, Allen, this is not what this statute
means when it speaks of an investment coun-
seling firm. Your ordinance incorporates by
reference the standards of this federal statute.
If this new arrangement that was entered into
on the 22nd of August is not in fact an arranage-

ment with the investment counseling firm to pro-
vide management on a discretionary basis to
these assets, it does not -it is not authorized
by this provision of the ordinance. If it isn't
authorized by this provision of the ordinance,
it isn't authorized by any provision of this
ordinance. And if that's so, the trustees of
these plans would not have the benefit of the
provision that limits their personal liability
if, which I'll read it very briefly, "and the
trustees shall not be liable either as a body
or individually for .the making, retention, or
sale of any investment as wherein provided".
That says to me that if the trustees adopted
any one of these five specified modes of manage-
ment, the trustees are protected and if they
don't, they're not. You know, Mr. Mason was
simply not given the opportunity to be present
at the meeting when the boards of trustees
of these plans at which judgement was made to
terminate the services of his firm after five
years and employ some other new arrangement.
So, of course, we don't have any very exact
knowledge of what the new arrangement con-
sists of. Obviously, we've been trying to
find out. We would much prefer to go for-
ward on the basis of accurate and reliable
information, but we have to do the best we
can and based on what we do know, it appears
that the retirement boards have hired a one-
year old firm to provide a mutual fund tim-
ing switching service. Thank you, gentle-
ment, very much. That's concludes my pre-
sentation.
We thank you for your information.

Mr. Herzog stated he was the owner of P~rk & Shop lot and requested

17 years to run for another additional three years. Mr. Herzog
stated the extension will enable him to better negotiate lease con-tracts with tenants.
COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS MOVED TO GRANT THE EXTENSION OF THREE
YEARS FOR WHICH MR. HERZOG IS ASKING. Councilman Giseburt seconded the motion.
Councilman Smith stated the topic of extending leases
has been discussed several times before. Mr. Smith stated the
City is obligated by law not to negotiate a lease for over 20
years. Mr. Smith stated extending leases could turn into per-
petuity and if Council extends leases every three to four years
with 17 or 16 years remaining, in essence, is increasing a 20-
year lease to perpetuity because every few years, a new Council
is coming in and increasing the lease.
Council discussed at length the issue of extending the
lease as requested by Mr. Herzog, what problems he might have in
negotiating contracts, what plans he has for upgrading the pro-
perty, and what plans the Downtown Development Authority might have for this area • I •

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS BE TAX-PAYING ELECTORS.
COUNCILMAN SMITH MOVED TO PASS COUNCIL BILL NO. 34,
SERIES OF 1979 ON FINAL READING. Councilman Harper seconded the motion.
Council discussed this bill at length. Councilman Williams
stated it contained provisions that contradicted each other regard-
ing residency and qualified elector requirements; however, he agreed
that a citizen should be a resident for at least a year before be-ing appointed to the Board.
Councilman Giseburt spoke against striking the tax-payer
qualification. Councilman Clayton agreed with Mr. Giseburt's argu-ments.
Councilman Smith stated forcing a citizen to be a pro-
perty owner in order to be considered for appointment to the board is wrong.
Councilman Mann stated the final decision will be made
at election time when the question is placed on the ballot.
City Attorney Berardini noted that the trend is to do
away with this law, whether the citizen is a tax-paying elector
or not makes no difference in regard to service on the board and for the City.

ACTION PROPOSED Award of Construction Contract for Paving District

INTRODUCTION:
On April 2, 1979, City Council passed Ordinance 14,
Series 1979, creati ng Paving District No. 26 (South);South Zuni
Street from West Dartmouth Avenue to West Floyd Avenue.
The City of Sheridan is participating financially in this project,
with responsibility for all construction falling within their
corporate boundaries. Englewood and Sheridan have entered into
contract regarding Sheridan's financial commitment to this project.
FINANCIAL DETAILS:
As with all Paving Districts, owners of private
property will be assessed for improvement constructed adjacent
to their property. The City will pay for improvements in the
intersections and the storm drainage piping. The City of Sheridan
will pay for all work within their City limits. The following is
a breakdown of the estimated expenditures and funding.

Funding
City of Sheridan $ 43,000

Total $ 112,000
The present budget for PDI26 for both the north section (Zuni-
Dartmouth to Yale) and south section (Zuni-Dartmouth to Floyd) is
$50,000. We are anticipating bonding the assessable Englewood costs

1980 along with the north section (Zuni-Dartmouth to Yale) and
possibly Clarkson Street to minimize bonding fees and obtain the best
possible bond interest rate .

ACTION PROPOSED Avard of Contract for Construction of Sidewalk
Improvement Project 1979.
INTRODUCTION:
In February 1979, the City Council requested notices be
sent to several owners of private property within the City where
hazardous sidewalk conditions were known to exist. These notices
required the owners to make necessary repairs, and in the event
said repairs were not undertaken, notify the owners that the
City would cause such repairs/replacements to be made, with all
costs, direct and incidental, to be charged against said adjacent
properties. Sidewalk Improvement Project 1979 includes work that
was not accomplished by these owners. The project also includes
replacement of the Cherokee and Highway 285 crosspan, which will
be funded up to $4,500 by RTD as a Regional Aid Urban Systems
Project.
FINANCIAL DETAILS:
$20,000 was budgeted in the PIF for construction of this
project. RTD has committed up to $4,500 for reconstruction of the
crosspan and returns at US Hwy 285 and S. Cherokee St. by signed
agreement dated October 27, 1978.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Although this project was well advertised and staff made
numerous contacts with many contractors to encourage interest in
this project, only one bid was received. Most contractors contacted
were either too busy with present projects or just not interested
in a project as small as ours. The bid received was as follows:
J & N Concrete
Engineer's estimate
Money available ($20,000+ 4,500)
$ 23,773.86
22,580.00
24,500.00

Is it our opinion that the one bid received is good and reasonable when

AGENDA ITEM
3C SEAL COAT PROJECT 1979
INITIATED BY Engineering Services Department
ACTION PROPOSED Aw4rd of Construction Contract for Seal Coat Project 197~
INTRODUCTION:
Application of Seal Coat to Englewood streets needing surfacing
attention is an annual program and is accomplished in coordination
with the City's street overlay program.
The 1979 overall program consists of approximately 36,500 S.Y. of
asphalt overlay, to be constructed by Arapahoe County forces; and
39,000 S.Y. of seal coat to be accomplished by private contract.
FINANCIAL DETAILS:
A total of $134,000 is budgeted in the PIF for the overall program.
The asphalt overlay will be constructed in late September at an
estimated cost of $99,000.00. A total of $35,000.00 is therefore
available for construction of seal coat project 1979
•
RECOMMENDATIONS:
This project was heavily advertised and the engineering staff
personally contacted area contractors in an effort to spur interest
in this project. Limited availability of required construction
materials was most often quoted in contractors declining our invitation
to bid. The only bid received on this project was:
A-1 Paving Company, Inc. base bid $ 35,100.00
less deducts 1 & 2 5[850.00
Total bid $ 29,250.00
Engineer's estimate 35,000.00
Although only one bid was received, it is our recommendation that the

contract for Seal Coat Project 1979 be awarded to A-1 Paving Company,
Inc. in the amount of $29,250.00. The City of Englewood Street
Department will prepare the streets (weed removal) prior to construction
and pick up the excess chips, as per bid deducts 1 & 2. (The City has
always done these items in past Projects as well.)
A survey of other cities that have contracted similar seal coat projects
this year indicates that this bid, $0.75/S.Y. compares favorably with
low bids received by other municipalities:
Littleton -
Arvada
Westminster-
Lakewood-

TRANSCRIPT OF A PORTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 4,
1979 -OTHER VISITORS -WILLIAM MASON.
MAYOR TAYLOR:
PAT MILES:
That concludes the pre-scheduled visitors. At
this time, we ask if there are any other visi-
tors that would like to be heard from at this
time in the audience?
Mr. Mayor and Members of the Council, I'm Pat
Miles. I'm an attorney with the law firm of
Criswell and Patterson at 3780 South Broadway
here in Englewood. I'm appearing this even-
ing for the purpose of introducing of gentle-
men who would like to address the Council.
I believe members of Council had received
perhaps a letter from Mr. William Mason. Mr.
Mason would like to address Council this
evening. In additon to Mr. Mason and along
with Mr. Mason is Mr. Allen Gordon who would
request permission to address Council and
both gentlemen have indicated their request
is to bring to the Council's attention cer-
tain concerns they have in reference to the
City's retirement fund. By way of mere in-
troduction, Mr. Mason is president of William
Mason & Company of Woodland Hills, California,
and this is the company that has managed the
City's pension funds for approximately the
last four years. I think specifically the
employee retirement fund and the firemen's
retirement fund since 1974 and more recently
the policemen's pension fund since August of
1978. As I indicated Mr. Mason is president
of that company. I would indicate to you the
Council that the agreement between the City
and Mr. Mason's firm terminated August 22nd of
this year, last week, and Mr. Mason would like
to indicate certain concerns that he has over
the present status of that fund. Mr. Allen
Gordon is an attorney from Los Angeles who
specializes in security laws and specifically
in the federal investment advisor's act and
by way of background Mr. Gordon has been chief
counsel for the Securities Exchange Commis-
sion dealing specifically with the invest-
ment advisor's act and the investment coun-
sel act. He has been in private practice in
Los Angeles dealing specifically in this area
for the past 10 years. It's not necessary to
have an attorney appear to introduce the gentle-
men to Council; but I merely want to indicate
my only purpose in being here is to introduce
the members to Council and indicate that Mr.
Mason came to our firm because of an inability

MAYOR TAYLOR :
for his firm and for himself on prior occasions
to meet with the retirement board. On several
occasions during the last month, he has made
effort to arrange a meeting and none of those
meetings have been forthcoming. He contacted
our office merely to request assistance in get-
ting this matter before Council or his concerns
before Council. I did have occasion to meet
with both Mr. Mason and Mr. Gordon late this
afternoon. Mr. Gordon has indicated to me that
he has certain concerns from a legal stand point
that he would like to bring to Council's atten-
tion. I am going to defer any remarks with re-
ference to his legal concerns to his expertise.
I would, however, indicate that I do share some
of his concerns and I think they are matters that
Council should be made aware of. With that I
would turn over the podium to Mr. Mason if, Mr.
Mayor, that is alright.
Mr. Miles, before you do. The Council dis-
cussed your letter and your mail-o-grams in
our study session this afternoon and it's
the, under our City Charter, the Council is
not responsible or have jurisdiction over the
police and fire pension boards. There is a
connection of some sort with the City Council
and the non-emergency employees pension board
and to explain that in terms that are more
familiar to law and to legal understanding,
I'm going to defer to our City Attorney who
is the attorney for both or all three of our
boards. When Mr. George Olson called, I be-
lieve his first name is George, Olson called
me the other day. Is he your Denver repre-
sentative?
Yes, he is the Denver representative •
I told him at the time, well, actually, to be
honest, he called around Tuesday, and I didn't
get back to him until Thursday, and it was too
late to get him on the scheduled visitors for
the agenda, but I told him it is the practice
of this Council, although we're not obligated
to under the Charter to ask for additional
visitors, we always do because we would like
to be as democratic as we possibly can. With
that understanding, we will hear Mr. Mason but
before we do I'd like for Mr. Berardini, our

CITY ATTORNEY
BERARDINI:
PAT MILES:
attorney, to fill you in on how this Council
and the pension boards operate.
Mr. Miles, I think briefly stated, the Coun-
cil wonders why the correspondence was ad-
dressed to it when the boards themselves are
independent boards that are charged by statute
and by ordinance given the full responsibility
and authority to invest the funds at their dis-
cretion and under the authority granted by the
Colorado State Statutes, and perhaps you could
address this or perhaps Mr. Mason or Mr. Gordon
could, what relief you are requesting if any
from the City Council. We don't feel that the
Council, of course, has any jurisdiction to
substitute its judgement for that of the board,
the various boards of trustees of the various
pension funds. I do note that under the public
employment retirement fund, the Council may
replace a trustee under the City Code if it
so chooses by amendment to the ordinance, but,
I think the main question here is what are your
clients seeking to do and what relief are they
seeking from Council, if any.
Let me try to address those one at a time.
Why are we here tonight? I think I can best
state to Council that as early as Au~ust 7th
of this year at which time Mr. Mason s firm
was responsible for management of the pension
funds and he met with representatives of the
City and at that time it was indicated to him
that consideration was undertaken that the
pension policy or administration of the pension
funds was being changed. He requested to meet
with the pension board and that meeting was
tentatively or to be arranged for the week fol-
lowing August 7th. They were never able to ar-
range it. They again tried to arrange a meet-
ing the subsequent week. That was never fol-
lowed through. A meeting was scheduled on August
22nd of 1979. Mr. Mason and his firm were ad-
vised prior to that meeting that it was being
canceled. It's our understanding that the meet-
ing did take place. One of the concerns of the
company is that they have had no forum to come
before. They've not been able to meet with
the pension board to discusss the concerns that
they have with reference to the fund. As to
the relief that they are seeking here before
•

Council, specifically none. They want a little
bit of your time to listen to their concerns
so that it is out in the open and someone has
listened to their concerns. I don't think that
the Council necessarily has the power to take
affirmative action, but I think the Council does
have the power to listen to the concerns that
the gentlemen have.
MAYOR TAYLOR: Do I hear any objection from Council?
COUNCILMAN CLAYTON: Your honor, I have no objection. I think that
our record of this proceeding - I would request
show the remarks of the City Attorney, though.
MAYOR TAYLOR: Certainly, Mr. Miles, you client may speak.
I wanted to be sure that everyone understood
where the City Council stands on this before
you do because the City Council can not change
what the pension boards have done.
PAT MILES: Thank you.
MAYOR TAYLOR: So you may bring your client up if you wish.
WILLIAM MASON: Thank you. First I wish to thank the Mayor
and City Council and City Manager
MAYOR TAYLOR: Would you please give us your name and address?
Everything you say is on tape, you know, this
is like Watergate.
COUNCILMAN SMITH: But there's no blanks.
MAYOR TAYLOR: There's no blanks involved.
WILLIAM MASON: My name is William Mason. I'm president of
William Mason and Company, Woodland Hills,
California. Having had the opportunity to
speak to the boards, I would not be here to-
night. So I do wish to thank you for the op-
portunity to speak. I'm not here because I
feel I have any vested right to manage the
funds of the City. Clearly, I do not. I am
here because I am absolutely appauled at the
way the decision to terminate our services were
arrived at and the current lack of consider-
ation of the implications of liquidating all
the securities held in the portfolios of
these plans. We have been investment counsel
to the firemen's pension plan and the City's
•

employment pension plan since 1974 and to the
policemen's pension plan since August of this
year. During this period, there were no com-
plaints about investment results made to us,
or fees, or other significant matters. For
weeks, we've been attempting to arrange a meet-
ing with the boards through the office of the
director of finance whom I understand left the
City's employment last Friday. We were con-
tinually put off. We were told that three suc-
cessive meetings were scheduled and that they
were then canceled. Finally, we were told that
a meeting was arranged for August 22nd. Then
we were told it was re-scheduled for September
5th. This canceled meeting was held on August
27th that's August 22nd at which time our ser-
vices were terminated. And it is our under-
standing the one-year old firm, one-year old
firm of R. M. Leary and Company was retained.
I repeat we have no vested right to manage
the City's pension funds. The boards have the
right to fire us. But if I were a board mem-
ber I would be very concerned about why Bill
Mason was not allowed to speak. Was it just
bad manners or was someone afraid of what I
would say? We have been managers of these
plans for five years. I have been in the in-
vestment business for almost 20 years. Not
as a customer's man for a brokerage firm.
Not as a mutual fund salesman. But an in-
vestment analysis and investment manager.
I would think it would be understood that
my views were of some value. Common sense
would suggest that before they bought an in-
vested program from someone who had an eco-
nomic interest in selling it to them that
they would at least listen to the other side.
Now, as I said, I was not at the August 22nd
meeting so I do not know exactly what happened •
But, it is my understanding that at that meet-
ing, a new set of investment guidelines were
adopted and the firm of R. M. Leary and Com-
pany was engaged to manage the pension assets.
I find it particularly ironic that at that meet-
ing, that meeting that I was refused attendance,
the following guideline was accepted. I quote,
"it is the desire of the pension board to meet
quarterly in person with the investment manager
responsible for this account to review the fol-
lowing" and then there's a whole list of legi-
timate investment concerns. That's all I de-
•
I • •

TRANSCRIPT -SEPTEMBER 4, 1979 Page 6
sired, an opportunity to meet with the boards.
Had I been given the opportunity to speak, I
would have raised the following points. First,
as a result of the actions taken on August
22nd a first rate set of investment guidelines
brought up earlier this year by Mr. James and
by Mr. Johannisson, guidelines which contain
substantial and specific investment safeguards
would have to be abandon. A mutual fund switch-
ing program such as R. M. Leary and Company
specializes in would probably violate these
guidelines. My second concern, the second
point I would raise was that you were hiring
an investment advisor who had been business for
barely one year. Who had little actual experi-
ence managing investments and had an invest-
ment performance record which was largely hypo-
thetical. Furthermore, it involved the use of
load mutual funds, an investment vehicle that
is so discredited that it has been equated by
one well-known writer as "throwing money out
the window". Third, I would stand by the cost
estimates which I made in my letters to the
City Council. Both the substantial one-time
cost and the double manafement fees that would
continue. I would also ike to point out that
your guidelines call for your invest-.nt ad-
visor to carry fiduciary liability insurance.
Does he? Has anyone seen the policy? Has the
City Attorney reviewed it? Only three co.-
panies write such coverage, only three co.-
panies in the insurance industry in this coun-
try. Two of them began writing it this year.
One only writes for members of the Investment
Council Association of America of which there
are 80 members, 80 members out of 5,000 invest-
ment advisors. One of the terms of the con-
tract is that if you cease to become an in-
vestment, a member of the investment council
association, your policy automatically lapses.
Finally, a mutual fund switching program such
as that offered by R. M. Leary and Company
could well violate the new guidelines. Few
mutual funds will place pointless restrictions
on the investment policy the new guidelines
call for. For instance, your new guidelines
would prevent you from purchasing any new con-
vertible bonds, but allow you to buy in at lower
quality common stocks from the same companies.
Totally illogical. The final issue that we
would like to address ourselves to is largely
I •

ALLEN GORDON:
a legal point, but one of great importance,
and I would like to turn the floor over to
Mr. Gordon to handle that. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Mason.
Thank you, your Honor, Members of the Council,
I appreciate very much for your time to ad-
dress you this evening. I have just two points
to make to you.
Would you give us your name, please?
My name is Allen Gordon. I'm a practicing
lawyer. My office is in Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia. I am not a member of the bar in the
State of Colorado. I have represented and
provided legal advice to William Mason and
Company for the past three or four years.
My practice specializes in federal securities
laws and regulations; and I have personal
familiarity with the investment business.
There are two established principals of the
Securities Exchange Commission that I think
are in question here. One is that they have
set in writing that it is fradulent per se
for any investment advisor to represent as
investment management results, numerical
statistical studies that are purely hypo-
thetical. And what that means is, if you've
been managing assets over a period of time
you can show what the actual results were,
that were achieved in the actual management
of those assets, if you don't do it in a
selective and improper way picking out only
the accounts that did well and eliminating
the accounts that did badly, but represent-
ing accurately the actual results over all
accounts over time. But what you can't do
is to look back hypothetically and say that
if over the last ten years some program which
was not actually in effect had been followed
here are the results that would have been
achieved. The SEC has said that that is simply
fradulent and the reason is perfectly clear.
Anyo~e can look backwards over time and see
where the stock market hits its tops and where
it hit its bottoms, and say, well, if we had
sold out at the top and if we had bought back
at the bottom, here's what the results would
have been on a thousand dollars that had been
I •
-
•
•
•
• .. •
TRANSCRIPT -SEPTEMBER 4, 1979 Page 8
invested in that fashion over ten years. But,
of course, nobody has the ability to do that,
starting from today and working forward into
the future because nobody knows in advance where
the tops and bottoms will be. That's one point.
The second point is that the Congress at the
recommendation of the Securities Exchange Com-
mission recently amended the statute to make
a distinction in law between a registered in-
vestment advisor and investment counseling
firm. Any firm that publishes investment re-
ports must register with the SEC as an invest-
ment advisor. Many people have been led to
feel that if a firm was registered with the
Commission as an investment advisor, it must
be reliable, experienced and knowledgeable.
When in fact, all the statute requires is no-
tice to the SEC that you are engaged in this
line of business. So a distinction was writ-
ten into the law and it says it's unlawful to
represent that you are an investment counsel-
ing firm unless the substantial character of
your business is to provide discretionary in-
vestment management of other people's assets
on a continuing basis with regard to the speci-
fic investment needs of the accounts under
management. If that's what your business is,
then it's lawful for you to represent that
you're an investment counselor and not other-
wise. Your ordinance with respect to the
management of the assets of your pension and
profit sharing plans for your municipal em-
ployees, firemen and police officers provides
that the boards of trustees may adopt any one
of five alternative approaches to the invest-
ment management of the assets of these plans.
One would be to buy an annuity contract with
an insurance company. Another would be to
employ a bank. The last of these five is
the one that is pertinent this evening. It
is very short. I would like to read it to
you. It says, "to obtain on an discretionary
basis, an investment advisor, licensed as such
under the United States Advisor's Act of 1940,
which investment advisor is also an investment
counsel as defined in said act." I think the
meaning of the ordinance is quite clear. One
permitted alternative is to employ an invest-
ment firm to supervise, actually manage the in-
vestment of the assets of these plans. Mr.
Mason asked me, on Friday of last week, whether
I •
-
•
•
•
• •
TRANSCRIPT-SEPTEMBER 4, 1979 Page 9
a registered investment advisor whose busi-
.. ess it is to generate buy and sell recom-
mendations of switching assets from one mu-
tual fund to another based on market-timing
judgements, when the market has reached its
high, sell your common stock mutual fund, put
the money in a fixed-dollar mutual fund.
Whether that type of business arrangement is
the sort of business activity that qualifies
to be an investment counseling business. My
judgement on the point was no. It certainly
does not because it does not involve actually
determining what securities, what stock and
bonds should be bought and when and at what
price and why with this particular plan's
needs. It's a rather blunt instrument is what
it is, in which if you do right, you do very
well and when you are wrong, the results are
disastrous. I checked that personal legal
opinion because this is not a commonly asked
question by telephoning the SEC staff in
Washington and talking with the current as-
sistant director of the divison that adminis-
ters this statute, and he said I quite agree
with you, Allen, this is not what this statute
means when it speaks of an investment coun-
seling firm. Your ordinance incorporates by
reference the standards of this federal statute.
If this new arrangement that was entered into
on the 22nd of August is not in fact an arranage-
ment with the investment counseling firm to pro-
vide management on a discretionary basis to
these assets, it does not-it is not authorized
by this provision of the ordinance. If it isn't
authorized by this provision of the ordinance,
it isn't authorized by any provision of this
ordinance. And if that's so, the trustees of
these plans would not have the benefit of the
provision that limits their personal liability
if, which I'll read it very briefly, "and the
trustees shall not be liable either as a body
or individually for the making, retention, or
sale of any investment as wherein provided".
That says to me that if the trustees adopted
any one of these five specified modes of manage-
ment, the trustees are protected and if they
don't, they're not. You know, Mr. Mason was
simply not given the opportunity to be present
at the meeting when the boards of trustees
of these plans at which judgement was made to
terminate the services of his firm after five

years and employ some other new arrangement.
So, of course, we don't have any very exact
knowledge of what the new arrangement con-
sists of. Obviously, we've been trying to
find out. We would much prefer to go for-
ward on the basis of accurate and reliable
information, but we have to do the best we
can and based on what we do know, it appears
that the retirement boards have hired a one-
year old firm to provide a mutual fund tim-
ing switching service. Thank you, gentle-
men, very much. That concludes my pre-
sentation.
We thank you for your information.

I. EMERGENCY AT ALLEN WATER PLANT JULY 15. 1979
6 A
The 24" transmission pipe that supplies water to the City ruptured at the
Allen Treatment Plant in the area where the contractors had previously
been doing some work. Conditions became critical immediately and the City
Manager declared a local disaster. All watering was curtailed and businesses
were not allowed to operate the following day due to the serious fire danger.
The City appealed to the Denver Water Department for help in this emergency
and they responded immediately. Denver and Englewood crews worked together
in hooking up a cross connection with the Denver water supply in three
different areas of the City.
II. VALLEY WATER DISTRICT
Mr. Fonda stated that he had been in contact with the Valley Water District
and that they were responsive to continued discussions in negotiating a
total service contract. The Board directed Mr. Fonda to contact the Valley
Water District .
III. GREENWOOD VILLAGE COST SHARING OF DRAIN LINE FROM OVERHEAD
STORAGE RESERVOIR
The Board members indicated that they were not willing to participate any
amount above 50% for the drainage improvements needed in Greenwood Village
at the Overhead Storage area. The Board members suggested that Mr. Fonda
check with the City Attorney on the City's liability in this area.

ELECTION COMMISSION
Minutes
August 29, 1979
Present: Betty Keena
Barbara Burget
William James
Also Present: City Attorney Berardini
Janice Watkins
The meeting vas called to order at 4:15p.m. in the City Attorney's conference room.
Mr. J ... s transmitted a sample candidate packet and the Commission
reviewed the calendar of events for the upcoming general municipal election, Roveaber 6, 1979.
Mr. J ... s stated petitions to recall Councilman Donald Harper had
been withdrawn and resubmitted with affidavits on August 15, 1979;
therefore, the petitions would have to be certified to Council
within the five day period after August 30, 1979.
The Commission discussed establishing guidelines concerning whether
or not the council member that has been petitioned for recall needs
to let the Clerk know of his intentions to resign or be a candi-
date. The Commission decided that the council member for which
the recall petition has been submitted must notify the City Clerk
within five days after the Clerk has certified the petitions to
Council of his intentions to resign or whether he will be a
candidate on the ballot. If the council member does not notify
the Clerk of his intentions then the matter automatically becomes
a recall question on the ballot. The Commission noted such a
ruling is in keeping with the C.R.S., 1973, as amended.
The meeting adjourned at 5:10 p.m.

A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF COLORADO PIZZA CORPORATION,
DOING BUSINESS AS MR. GATTI'S, FOR A RETAIL 3.2% BEVERAGE LICENSE
FOR CONSUMPTION ON THE PREMISES TO BE LOCATED AT 225 EAST JEFFERSON
AVENUE, ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO.
WHEREAS, Colorado Pizza Corporation, d/b/a Hr. Gatti's, has
made application pursuant to the provisions of Article 47, Title 12,
CRS'73, as amended, for a 3.2 Beer License to be located at 225 East
Jefferson Avenue, En~lewood, Colorado; and
WHEREAS, notice of said application and notice of public
hearing thereon having been given and the hearing having been
conducted on the 23rd day of July, 1979 before the City Council,
as the local licensing authority.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, as follows:
That based on the application of Colorado Pizza Corporation
and the testimony and exhibits received at the public hearing, the
City Council of the City of Englewood, as the local licensing
authority, does hereby make and adopt the following findings and
conclusions:
1. That all legal notices, publications and postings with
reference to the public hearing were proper and consistent with
the requirements of Article 47, Title 12, CRS '73, as amended.
2. That the City Council designated an area of one (1) mile
in radius as the "neighborhood" to be considered in granting the
applicant's request for said 3.2 Beer L i cense.
3. Hr. Max Scott, President of Oedipus, Inc., 1200 Pearl
Street, Boulder, Colorado, testified that he was employed by the
City to conduct a survey to determine the needs and desires of the
residents of the neighborhood. He submitted 6 petitions (City's
Exhibits•c1"through"C6")together with a report of the survey (City's
Exhibit "B ) .
4. The results of the Oedipus survey revealed that 935 total
contacts were attempted and of that figure, 304 were not at home,
but 631 actual contacts were made within the defined neighborhood.
Of the 631 actually contacted, 379, or 60.06\, signed the petit i on
stating that the needs and desires of the neighborhood were not I •

met; 76, or 12.04\, stated that the needs and desires of the
neighborhood were met and signed petitions against the issuance of
of the license; 36 of those contacts would not sign any petition;
62 preferred to remain neutral; 62 were not qualified to sign any
petition. The remainder gave other miscellaneous reasons for not
signing the petition either for or against the issuance of a
license.
S. Mr. John Odell of 10700 E. Dartmouth Avenue, Denver,
appeared as a witness on behalf of the applicant corporation,
offered testimony as to the background and concept of the Mr. Gatti's
restaurant, and also offered testimony as to the needs and desires
of the area as well as the control and dispensing of 3.2 beer in
the restaurant.
Mr. Raymond H. Hall, owner of Tender Lean Meats, 295 E.
Jefferson Ave., Englewood, appeared before Council, was sworn, and
stated that in his opinion the needs and desires of the area for
the restaurant serving 3.2 beer were not being satisfied at the
present time.
Ms. Natasha Nola, 13200 E. Glendale Place, Aurora,
appeared before Council and was sworn. Ms. Nola's testimony was
that she is the owner of Hair Flair Beauty Salon located in the
Dry Creek Shopping Center where the proposed Mr. Gatti's will be
located. Ms. Nola Stated she felt the needs and desires of the
neighborhood were not being met and would patronize the restaurant.
Mr. William Honeyman, 3226 S. Sherman Street, Englewood,
appeared before Council and was sworn. Mr. Honeyman's testimony
essentially was that he felt the needs and desires of the neighbor-
hood were not being met.
6. No one appeared in person to oppose the issuance of the
license and no petitions were presented in opposition to the issu-
ance of the license.
City Council, therefore, finds and determines that, based
upon the foregoing and the entire record and evidence contained
herein, the needs and requirements of the neighborhood, as estab-
lished herein, have not been met by existing licenses and that the
application herein for 3.2 Beer License for consumption on the
premises should be and is hereby granted.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this day of September, 1979.

However, in accordance with the revenue sharing law, the City
Council is required to hold a public hearing on the proposed uses

budget retreat.
Also, for the past two years, prebudget hearings have been held .
This hearing is not required by law but can be set at the discretion
of Council.
CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that Council set public hearing dates for a
prebudget hearing and one on revenue sharing funds. The follow-
ing dates are recommended:

Proposed Uses for Revenue Sharing Funds
