Clerk Shaver assigned Ordinance No. 1512.
City Council Minutes July 9, 2012 Page 3
This ordinance will clean-up inconsistencies that have occurred over the years on how
we apply our use tax code with City projects . The wording in our code is written in such
a way as to not allow exemption from use tax on construction materials and
supplies/equipment for city, quasi-city and public school projects . We have been
allowing this exemption for many years , but it is against current code and very confusing
for diligent tax managers. Passage of the ordinance will change the code to reflect what
is already current and common practice .
Mayor DiTullio closed the public hearing.

some retail.
Mayor DiTullio closed the public hearing.
Motion by Mrs. Langworthy to approve Council Bill No. 07 -2012; an ordinance
approving the rezoning of property located at 5060 Ward Road from Planned Industrial
Development (PID) and Light Industrial (I) to Mixed Use-Commercial Transit Oriented
Development (MU-C TOO) zone district, on second reading, and that it take effect 15
days after final publication, for the following reasons:

N) Zone District (Case No. WZ-12-03/Patrick Nichols & Associates)

Mrs. Jay introduced Council Bill No. 08-2012. Approving this rezoning is the first step in
the redevelopment of the property to mixed use.
Clerk Shaver assigned Ordinance No. 1514
Mayor DiTullio swore in those who would be participating in the hearing.
Meredith Reckert entered into record the case file and packet materials . She had
diagrams and photos of the property. This single family house is in disrepair and has a
history of noncompliance. The owners of modmood plan to refurbish the house as an
example of 1970's architecture and use it to expand the design services for their retro
City Council Minutes July 9, 2012 Page 5
retail business. The rezoning will also allow neighborhood retail , services and
residential. If this zone change is approved, the site plan for development will be
submitted for approval. This use satisfies the comprehensive plan which calls for this
area to be a buffer or transitional to the residential neighborhood to the west. A
neighborhood meeting was held where discussion included traffic , parking , the nature of
the business and proposed improvements.
The Planning Commission approved with no conditions. Staff recommends approval as
this will redevelop an eyesore and make it a productive piece of property
Jeannie Nichols of Allison Circle in Wheat Ridge is one of the owners of modmood .
She loves Wheat Ridge and has enjoyed having the business and bringing retail traffic
to the City. She said they fear the house could be torn down so they want to preserve it
and make it a design studio. They are sensitive to the neighborhood , and want to
preserve the heritage of Wheat Ridge while helping their city become stronger.
Patrick Gooch, of the same Allison Circle address and one of the owners, added that
although the property is in a terrible state of disrepair it is one of the finest architectural
properties built in that era. It is an architecturally significant home and this project will
give people a nice first impression of Wheat Ridge .
Mr. Dahl confirmed that prior litigation on the property does not affect or constrain the
owners right to apply for rezoning . Mrs . Reckert confirmed that the site plan process
will not require a neighborhood meeting. Mr. Johnstone stated that any future plans to
widen Wadsworth can technically be accommodated by this property.
Mayor DiTullio closed the public hearing .
Motion by Mrs. Jay to approve Council Bill No . 08-2012. an ordinance approving the
rezoning of property located at 4695 Wadsworth Blvd. from Residential-Two (R-2) to
Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) zone district , on second reading, and that it take
effect 15 days after the final publication , for the following reasons:
1. The property is not desirable for low density residential use due to adjacency of
Wadsworth Blvd .
2. The proposed zone change and reuse of the existing structure will provide a
land use transition between Wadsworth and the neighborhood to the west.
3. The evaluation criteria support approval of this request.
4 . The property is currently underutilized ."
The motion was seconded by Mr. Stites . Mayor DiTullio mentioned that the widening of
Wadsworth would be extremely expensive and depend on state funding. G iven that the
state has no money for it , it could be 30-40 years before that happens.
The motion carried 7-0 .

§. Council Bill No. 10-2012 -amending Chapter 26 concerning the Planned
Development District Regulations and Private Zone changes and making certain
amendments to Chapter 2 in association herewith (Case No. ZOA-12-01)
Mayor DiTullio opened the public hearing.
Mr. Stites introduced Council Bill No . 10-2012 and read the executive summary.
Clerk Shaver assigned Ordinance No. 1515.
Ken Johnstone presented the proposal for amending PD's -Planned Development
districts. It's an alternative to straight districts , tailored to unique uses and design
issues. Historically the City has used them heavily, but less so since Mixed Use
districts have been adopted. Staff still thinks this is an important tool and should be
improved. This new process will eliminate neighborhood meetings (on the specific
design), legal protests, and the recording of permits. A shorter review process will
result in less staff time, cost less in fees for the developer and provide a stronger land
use right at the initial rezoning. Streamlining the process by moving straight from
approval to administrative review will shorten the process by some 15 months and will
encourage economic development.
Mayor DiTullio closed the public hearing .
Motion by Mr. Stites to approve Council Bill No.1 0-2012, an ordinance amending
Chapter 26 concerning the planned development district regulations and private zone

ISSUE:
Foothills Animal Shelter is the animal shelter for Jefferson County and has become a leading
adoption facility in the State of Colorado. In 2010, FAS moved into a newly constructed 33 ,000
square-foot facility, three times the size of the old facility. Since this time, the staff and Board of
Directors has been working to increase the revenue of the Shelter through the County-wide Dog
Licensing Program. As part of these efforts, the proposed IGA merges previous I GAs that
established Table Mountain Animal Center (TMAC) and implemented the Dog Licensing
Program. This new IGA supersedes the previous I GAs. The primary changes in this IGA are as
follows:
• Officially change the name of the entity to Foothills Animal Shelter
Establish a capital reserve of $500,000
Establish an operating reserve equivalent to 25 % of annual operating expenses
• Allocate the Dog License Program revenue (net of administrative costs incurred by the
County who currently administers the program) to the operations ofF AS
• Allocate the annual City assessments to the annual debt service obligation
Council Action Form
July 23 , 2012
Page2
PRIOR ACTION:
City Council was briefed on this issue at the July 16 , 2012 Study Session.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There are no significant financial impacts projected as a result of the attached IGA. The goal of
the Foothills Animal Shelter Board of Directors is to minimize the financial impact to the
participating jurisdictions. In 2012 , the City's annual contribution toward the operations ofF AS
was $29 ,050. In 2011 , the City paid an annual assessment of $27 ,932 and a special assessment
of$20,033 for a total of$47,965. While there is a still the potential for a special assessment in
2012 to help cover the cost of operations , the Board of Directors for the Shelter believes this
potential is greatly reduced by using the dog licensing revenue for operations as proposed in this
IGA. Starting in 2013 , the annual contributions from the parties to this IGA will be allocated
toward the debt service and will be less than the current annual contributions assessed today.
BACKGROUND:
In 1997 , the City became a party to the IGA that formed the Table Mountain Animal Center
(TMAC). Over the years , the operations ofTMAC have grown -to a point of constructing a
new shelter in 2010 that is three times larger than the old facility and changing the name of the
facility to Foothills Animal Shelter (FAS). Currently, the City of Wheat Ridge, along with
Jefferson County and the cities of Arvada, Edgewater, Lakewood , Westminster, and Golden
make annual contributions towards the operations of the shelter. Wheat Ridge's annual
contribution to the shelter has historically been approximately $27 ,000 to $29 ,000.
In 2007 , the County and the various cities entered into an IGA that implemented a countywide
dog licensing program. The revenue generated from the program was to be allocated to pay for
the new shelter. The County has served as administrator for the licensing program and began
collecting license revenue prior to the construction and opening of the new shelter. Those funds ,
in excess of $1.5 million , have been held in trust by the County. In addition , the license revenues
generated annually have exceeded the annual debt service payments on the COP's that were
issued by the County to build the shelter.
In 2008 , Wheat Ridge and the other cities approved resolutions to amend the Dog License
Program IGA to allow for the excess dog license revenues (the amounts collected greater than
the annual debt service requirement) to be used by TMAC/F AS for the construction, operation ,
maintenance, and replacement of the new facility , or for capital improvements and maintenance
of the current facility (the TMAC facility that existed at that time).
In 2011 , the Board of Directors for the Shelter (made up of one representative from the County
and each of the cities), requested funds from the excess dog license revenues to pay for some
needed capital improvements and to help cover the increased cost of operations related to the
first full year of operations at the new facility. The County agreed to the capital funding as that
was allowed for in the 2007 IGA , but denied the funding for operations as the County had never
approved the 2008 amendment to the IGA (and had never communicated that to any of the cities
or the Shelter Board). So , instead of using dog licensing revenues to assist with the operating
Council Action Form
July 23, 2012
Page 3
costs, the County and each city received an additional special assessment for 2011. Wheat
Ridge's portion ofthe additional assessment was $20,033.19. lfthe Board decides that a special
assessment is needed in 2012, the City will receive a request for $20,250.
Upon learning this information from the County, the Shelter Board began a series of discussions
concerning how to stabilize the annual assessments to the entities and how to best utilize the
excess dog licensing revenues. Specifically, the Board discussed the impact of special
assessments on entities such as Wheat Ridge. The Board agreed that since the annual debt
serv ice was a relatively-fixed amount annually, applying the entity assessments to the debt
payments would provide a stable budgeted amount for the entities. Further, given that the dog
licensing revenue already exceeded the annual debt requirements, using the revenue for
operations was a better match. Currently, the dog license compliance rate is approximately 21 %.
The Shelter Board has challenged the F AS staff to work on a marketing plan to increase the
compliance rate and generate more revenue to help cover operating costs. The Board also felt it
was prudent to establish both capital and operating reserves.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of this resolution.

The scope of work for this project includes providing all labor, equipment and materials to
arrange for a turn-key installation of new computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units in the
City Hall data room and the Police Department data room. Work shall include electrical and
mechanical modifications and the removal of the existing cooling unit in the Police Department
space. The scope also includes the addition of an occupant cooling unit for the staff that is
housed in the data room.
On June 20, 2012, four bids were received for the project. The low bid proposal was reviewed
for meeting the scope of work , references were checked and the vendor is able to meet all
deadlines. Staff recommends award to Frontier Mechanical , Inc. of Englewood CO.
PRIOR ACTION:

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
$135 ,400 was appropriated in the General Fund budget, account #0 1-118-800-812, for
this project. The appropriated amount will cover the $106,500 cost of the project plus
allow for contingency of $10,650.
BACKGROUND:
The Wheat Ridge Municipal Building was built in 1978. Since that time technology has changed
tremendously and the Information Technology Division has expanded to include two computer
server rooms-one for the administration section of the building and the other for the Police
Department section of the building. The HV AC units that are currently in use are not commercial
units and are not capable of cooling the rooms adequately due to the heat generated by the server
equipment. The heat generated in the server rooms shuts down the servers, which shuts down the
computers, and causes disruption of Police Department and City Administration operations.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of this award.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to award ITB-12 -23 to Frontier Mechanical, Inc. of Englewood , Colorado, in the
amount of$1 06,500 for the Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) Units and Installation
Project, and to approve a contingency in the amount of$1 0 ,650."

Page2
BACKGROUND:
In October 2010 the City applied to the DR COG for federal transportation funds available for
fiscal years 2012 through 2017 to help finance the construction of a multi-use trail on Kipling
Street from 32"d to 44th Avenue. DRCOG awarded the grant application in March of2011.
This project will provide a new pedestrian and bicyclist facility which will connect Crown Hill
Park, Discovery Park, the Wheat Ridge Recreational Center and the Clear Creek Trail. This
facility will also improve the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists along Kipling Street as a result
of a new wide trail. The proposed trail construction is within the guidance of the City's Bike and
Pedestrian Master Plan.
The total project amount is estimated at $3 ,178 ,000. The City will receive a federal grant in the
amount of $2 ,473 ,000, with the City providing the local project matching funds in the amount of
$705 ,000. The project design and construction are budgeted as 2012 and 2013 expenditures ,
respectively. COOT will perform the contract oversight concerning federal and state regulations
and the City will design and administer the construction of the project. The City will be
reimbursed the full federal share of the cost of the project, not to exceed $2 ,473 ,000, upon
project completion . The executed IGA with CDOT as referenced above stipulates that the City
finance the cost of the project, with CDOT reimbursement of 78 % of the costs, not to exceed
$2 ,473 ,000.
The City is responsible for completing the construction plans and obtaining all required
clearances for utilities, en vironmental approval s and right-of-way acquisitions. The design is
planned for 2012 with construction in 2013. City staff will perform the trail design and
administer the project. The selected consultant will be assisting City staff in performing some
aspects of the project design , such as structural design of a pedestrian bridge, modification of
two culvert crossings , assistance in obtaining environmental clearances, and property acquisition
assistance that will include easements and /or right-of-way.
On June 7 , 2012 , three proposals were received from consulting finns . Based on the review of
the proposals , the highest ranked finn was Bohannan Huston , Englewood , CO. Final selection
was based on qualifications , project approach , innovative ideas , the project team and experience
on previous projects. Appropriate fees for the work were then negotiated.
The proposal also includes additional services that may be needed in the event that additional
requirements are warranted to complete the project clearances , which includes but is not limited
to environmental , utility, land surveying and right-of-way acquisition. Staff recommends that
$40,000 , approximately 20% of the base contract , be allocated as design contingency, should
additional services be required during the design process.

EXHIBIT B
Engineer's Scope of Services
Wheat Ridge Kipling Street Multi-Use Path: RFQ-JN-12-24
The Engineer shall render professional engineering services as described below:
BASIC SERVICES
The Engineer's Basic Services shall consist of the items described below.
A. Environmental Services: Pinyon
Pinyon understands that a Categorical Exclusion (Cat Ex) will be required to meet COOT
environmental requirements. Pinyon will work with the City and COOT to meet the
environmental documentation requirements as presented on COOT Cat Ex Determination Form
#128. The Pinyon project team will gather data that has been previously collected within the
project area . Pinyon is currently working on two COOT projects in the area, the 1-70 & Kipling
Interchange Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study and monitoring the Kipling
bridges over Clear Creek and Lena Gulch for nesting swallows .
The following tasks will be completed by Pinyon:
1. Wetlands Delineation
Clear Creek, Lena Gulch, and/or Rocky Mountain Ditch are likely regulated by
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. If the project impacts wetlands, COOT would
require mitigation. Pinyon will initially delineate potential Waters of the US and/or
wetlands (wetlands) within the project area in accordance with U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) and COOT procedures. Pinyon will mark the boundaries of
wetlands in the field with pin flags, which will subsequently be surveyed by the
project team. The team will then utilize this information to avoid and/or minimize
impacts to wetlands. A wetlands delineation results memorandum or report will be
completed to document the existing Waters of the US and/or wetlands within the
project area and outline permitting requirements based on anticipated impacts.
2. Senate Bill 40 Clearance
Since the project includes construction of a new crossing over Clear Creek, a formal
Senate Bill40 (SB40) Clearance from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) will be
required. Pinyon will coordinate with the design team and COOT to develop
mitigation measures and prepare documentation.
3. Initial Site Assessment (ISA)
COOT Form 881 will be completed to evaluate potential hazardous materials
conflicts within the project area. An ISA is usually completed early in the project to
identify general concerns, and if requested (see additional services) then the ASTM
Phase I ESA can be competed once the exact ROW acquisition areas have been
determined.

4. Biological Resources Report and Plant Survey
This report will summarize biological resources within the project area including
wetlands , noxious weeds , threatened and endangered species, and migratory birds .
A survey for Ute-ladie 's tresses orchid and Colorado butterfly plant is included in the
scope .
5 . Project Meetings
Pinyon will attend three project meetings: Environmental Scoping Meeting/Kickoff,
Field Inspection Review (FIR), and Final Office Review (FOR) meetings .
Assumptions :
• The City of Wheat Ridge will handle Section 4(f) requirements and COOT will
complete documentation of historical, archaeological , and paleontological
resources.
• Pinyon assumes that one draft copy of each deliverable will be submitted for
rev iew, followed by one final copy. All copies will be submitted in electronic
format .
B. Geotechnical Engineering Services: Geocal
GeoCal understands the geotechnical scope of the project to include construction of a concrete
paved trail from W. 32 "d Avenue toW. 441h Avenue on the eastern side of Kipling Street in
Wheat Ridge, Colorado . Features will include construction of either a one or two span
pedestrian bridge that will cross Clear Creek, stormwater utility modifications at the Lena Gulch
Concrete Box Culvert and construction of a cantilevered slab at the Rocky Mountain Ditch
Culvert to accommodate the trail, and tie-in with existing park trails located near W . 35t h Street
and near Lena Gulch . The project will also include replacement of approximately 500 -feet of
corrugated metal culvert drain pipe that starts at W . 35 th and outlets in the Rocky Mounta i n
Ditch . The trail will consist of a ten foot wide concrete pavement that will have minimal traffic
from maintenance vehicles (pick -up truck) for snow removal and landscaping work. Site grading
is anticipated to be minimal with the trail constructed near or at existing site grades . The
pedestrian bridge may have associated abutment and w i ng walls at the abutment locations.
The following tasks will be completed by GeoCal:
1. Dr i ll three exploratory borings (one at each bridge abutment, one for the possible pier
location). The borings will be conducted using an A TV -mounted drill rig to approximate
depths of 40 -feet , depending upon location and depth to adequate bedrock .
2. Due to lim ited right -of-way and the presence of low overhead power lines, we will
conduct seven shallow power-auger excavations (4 feet or less) along the multi-use
path/trail to collect soil samples for pavement design and corrosion testing . Borings for
the path/trail will be spaced at approximately 250 foot intervals for a distance of about
3,700 feet, we have assumed existing trails located along the existing parks will be
utilized i n the project and will not require pavement design .
3. Personnel will complete all necessary permits through the COOT and the City of Wheat
Ridge , and any other controlling agencies prior to drilling.
4. Field geologist w ill contact UNCC for utility locates prior to drilling and we have planned
for one site meet to discuss utilities.
\\A.C().fS110pt_Colorado\BuSilOSS Dev\2013 Proposals\Wheat Ridge Kiplng Traii\Seope and Fee\Scope of Wort 07 0912 .doc Page 2 of 12
5. Exploratory borings conducted at the bridge will be drilled using hollow-stem augers.
After completion of the borings, we will make measurements of groundwater
elevations, where encountered.
6. Borings will be backfilled using auger cuttings mixed with grout and bentonite after
water measurement readings .
7. The soils (and bedrock) will be sampled using California and split spoon samplers using
procedures similar to ASTM 01586. We will make note of any discolored, odorous, or
otherwise uncommon soils encountered. We will obtain bulk samples from the bridge
and power auger borings for pavement design purposes. We have also assumed that
your office will provide either accurate contours of the site or surveyed elevations and
locations of the exploratory borings.
8. A laboratory testing program will be conducted to evaluate the classification, strength,
compressibility or swell characteristics, and other engineering properties for the
soils/bedrock encountered .
9. The results of the field and laboratory investigations will be used to develop a
geotechnical report which will include geologic conditions, pipe materials
recommendations, foundation design recommendations, retaining wall
recommendations, earthwork and excavation parameters, pavement design
recommendations for the path, and general recommendations for the pedestrian bridge
construction. This report will be provided during the Preliminary Design phase of the
project. A draft report will be submitted and a final report will be submitted once
comments have been received.
10. The field, laboratory and report preparation activities will be conducted under the
supervision of a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer.
Assumptions:
• Access from private land owners will be completed by the City of Wheat Ridge if
needed for borings.
C. land Surveying Services: BHI
Based upon the scope of work within the request for proposal and research conducted on
the Jefferson County GIS Assessor's Website, it is our understanding the area of survey
contains approximately 19 Parcels.
BHI will provide the following professional land surveying services:
1. Route Survey
a. Perform record research for COOT right-of-way plans and survey control
diagrams, recorded subdivision plats, parcel descriptions and land survey
monument records within the project limits. Also coordinate with client to
obtain parcel data which they may currently have .
1\A.CQ.FSt\OpLCoio<ado\Busiless Dev\2013 Proposals\Wheat Ridge Kiping Traii\Scope and Fee\Scope of Wort 07 09 f2 .doc Page 3 of 12
b. Verify existing and establish additional horizontal and vertical survey control
in conformance with the project datum, existing survey control as provided
by the client.
c. Conduct a field search for and identification of survey monuments and
other physical evidence to establish the approximate location of property
boundaries and rights-of-way within the project limits.
d. Incorporate research documents into a base file CAD drawing for parcel
configuration . All depicted rights-of-way and property-boundaries shown in
the final base file CAD drawing will be based upon record information and
rotated to the best available survey evidence recovered during the field
survey. BHI will not perform a Right-of-Way or Boundary Survey as part of
this Route Survey. If a possible area of concern is recognized the client will
be notified and options to resolve will be discussed .
The City of Wheat Ridge shall furnish the following information which is
necessary to prepare the Route Survey:
• Available record documents such as deeds, plats and easement data .
• The project's survey control.
• Permission to enter and survey the subject property.
2. Acquisition Parcel Survey
Utilizing the Route Survey as described above, the City of Wheat Ridge will
determine parcels from which property acquisition or easement will be required.
For this scope of services, it is assumed that 9 parcels will be included .
BHI will perform additional surveys to collect field data to fully describe the subject
parcels and allow the City of Wheat Ridge to prepare easements or deeds for the
acquisition parcels. The additional fieldwork will include location of all lot corners in
the subject parcel, and the field data will be transmitted to the City of Wheat Ridge
in autoCAD format.
The scope of this task does not include preparation of a Land Survey Plat . If it is
requested that BHI prepare a Land Survey Plat for the subject parcels, these services
may be provided as an additional service .
3. Geotechnical Bores and Wetland Delineation
BHI will provide one additional site visit to survey the horizontal and vertical
location of the geotechnical bores and wetland delineations after the borings and
delineations have been completed. We will field locate physical evidence (wooden
stake, concrete nail, flagging, etc.) identifying the location to be easily identified in
the field by the survey crew.
BHI will prepare a report showing northing, easting and ground elevation data in
Excel format and will also incorporate bore location data into the project Survey
base file.
This proposal includes a maximum of ten geotechnical bore locations to be
surveyed.

ISSUE:
Cities and towns possess the authority to regulate traffic within their respective jurisdictions.
Many Colorado municipalities do this through the adoption by reference of the Model Traffic
Code for Colorado (MTC). The MTC is a comprehensive set of traffic rules and regulations
promulgated and published by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The MTC
generally mirrors the traffic laws adopted by the State Legislature, as codified in Title 42 of the
Colorado Revised Statutes.
The 2003 edition of the MTC was previously adopted by the City and currently governs traffic in
Wheat Ridge. CDOT has published a 2010 edition of the MTC which contains certain changes
and updates to the 2003 edition, some of which reflect changes in state law. The 2010 edition of
the MTC is the most recent edition published by CDOT. This ordinance adopts the 2 010 MTC
by reference to bring the City's comprehensive set of traffic rules and regulations closer to
Council Action Form
July 23 , 2012
Page2
unifonnity with the traffic laws of the State and with other jurisdictions that have adopted the
2010 MTC .
PRIOR ACTION:
None
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Municipal Court may see a small increase in fine revenue as a result of convictions for
charges that are new under the 2010 MTC . Staff does not believe any increase in fines would be
significant.
BACKGROUND:
The Model Traffic Code is typically revised by the CDOT every three to four years to
incorporate the most recent changes to state law. The 2003 revision stood until 2009 , however
the 2009 version was found to have significant errors and was not adopted . The 2010 version
corrects those errors and is the most current version. City staff from the Police Department and
Municipal Court have collaborated and made the recommendations set forth here.
Police Department staff compared the 2003 and 2010 editions of the MTC to identify the
differences between the two. A summary of those differences , prepared by the Police
Department, is attached for your reference. The entire 2010 MTC is on file and available for
review in the office of the City Clerk.
This ordinance adopts the entire 2010 MTC by reference and then makes certain amendments to
it. TI1e amendments made to the 2010 MTC are largely the same as the amendments made to the
2003 MTC. Amendments of note include:
( 1) MTC Section 236 , concerning child restraint systems , is amended to reflect current
state law requirements . Staff identified that the 2010 MTC failed to reflect the most
recent legislation on child restraint systems.
(2) MTC Section 170 I is amended to maintain the City 's current classification of traffic
infractions and criminal traffic offenses and to provide the penalty ranges for
infractions (a fine up to $1 ,000) and offenses (a fine up to $1 ,000 and /or
imprisonment for up to one year). Section 1701 of the 2010 MTC , as published by
CDOT, contains a detailed penalty schedule for violations of particular MTC
sections . Staff recommends maintaining the current maximum penalty ranges for
infractions and offenses generally to pennit the Municipal Court Judge to impose
penalties that are appropriate to all the particular facts and circumstances of a case.
(3) Part 18 ofthe 2010 MTC , as published by CDOT, addresses abandoned vehicles and
tow procedures. The Wheat Ridge Code of Laws regulates abandoned vehicles and
towing under Article III of Chapter 13 . Part 18 of the 2010 MTC is therefore
Council Action Form
July 23 , 2012
Page 3
unnecessary, and is deleted . A cross-reference to sections within Part 18 is also
deleted from Section 13-43 of the Code.
Finally, staff recommends that this ordinance take effect on November 1, 2012 to allow for
changes to Court and Police Records computers and the ordering of new summons that reflect
the changes. City Charter Section 5 .11 provides that ordinances generally become effective 15
days after final publication after second reading, unless some other date is prescribed in the
ordinance or required by law.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill No. 13-2012, an ordinance adopting by reference the 2010
edition of the Model Traffic Code for Colorado, adopting amendments thereto, repealing all
ordinances in conflict therewith, providing penalties for Model Traffic Code violations and
making conforming amendments to Chapter 13 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws , on first
reading, order it published , public hearing set for Monday, August 13 , 2012 at 7 p .m. in the City
Hall Council Chambers, and that it takes effect on November 1, 2012."
Or,
"I move to postpone indefinitely Council Bill No. 13-2012 , an ordinance adopting by reference
the 2010 edition of the Model Traffic Code for Colorado, adopting amendments thereto ,
repealing all ordinances in conflict therewith, providing penalties for Model Traffic Code
violations and making conforming amendments to Chapter 13 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws,

Memorandum
TO: Mayor DiTullio and City Council
THROUGH: Patrick Goff, City Manager
Daniel Brennan, Police Chief
FROM: Tracy Wardell, Sergeant
Crime and Traffic Team
DATE: July 9, 2012
SUBJECT: Adoption of the 2010 Model Traffic Code
Cities and towns possess the authority to regulate traffic within their respective jurisdictions.
Many Colorado municipalities do this through the adoption by reference of the Model Traffic
Code for Colorado (MTC). The MTC is a comprehensive set of traffic rules and regulations
promulgated and published by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The MTC
generally mirrors the traffic laws adopted by the State Legislature, as codified in Title 42 of the
Colorado Revised Statutes.
The 2003 edition of the MTC was previously adopted by the City, and currently governs traffic
in Wheat Ridge. CDOT has published a 2010 edition of the MTC, which contains certain
changes and updates to the 2003 edition, some of which reflect changes in state law. The 2010
edition of the MTC is the most recent edition published by CDOT. This ordinance would adopt
the 2010 MTC by reference, to bring the City's comprehensive set of traffic rules and regulations
closer to uniformity with the traffic laws of the state and with other jurisdictions that have
adopted the 2010 MTC.
The Model Traffic Code is typically revised by the CDOT every three to four years to
incorporate the most recent changes to state law. The 2003 revision stood until 2009; however
the 2009 version was found to have significant errors and was not adopted. The 2010 version
corrects those errors and is the most current version . City staff from the Police Department and
Municipal Court have collaborated and made the recommendations set forth in this memo.
Police Department staff compared the 2003 and 2010 editions of the MTC to identify the
differences between the two. A summary of those differences , prepared by the Police
Department, is noted below for your reference. The entire 20 I 0 MTC is on file and available for
review in the office of the City Clerk.
This ordinance would adopt the entire 2010 MTC by reference and then make certain
amendments to it. The amendments made to the 2010 MTC are largely the same as the
amendments made to the 2003 MTC.
Attachment 2
July 9, 2012 StaffReport-Adoption ofthe 2010 Model Traffic Code
Page 2 of2
Amendments include:
(1) MTC Section 235 , concerning minimum standards for commercial vehicles , allows for
the inspection , enforcement, and impoundment of those vehicles .
(2) MTC Section 236 , concerning child restraint systems , is amended to reflect current
state law requirements. Staff identified that the 2010 MTC failed to reflect the most
recent legislation on child restraint systems.
(3) MTC Sections 501 and 509 , concerning the penalty for size and weight violations ,
allows for the current standards to be enforced.
( 4) MTC Part 10 , concerning driving, overtaking and passing in bike lanes, prohibits these
activities.
(5) MTC Section 1101 (2), concerning speed limits , sets the 25 mph limit for all streets
unless posted otherwise.
(6) MTC Section 1203 , concerning parking of major vehicles , aligns the MTC with current
Wheat Ridge ordinances.
(7) MTC Section 1204 , concerning stopping, standing, or parking in specified places,
prohibits parking in these areas except by emergency vehicles.
(8) MTC Section 1208 , concerning parking privileges for persons with disabilities , allows
Municipal Court to set the fines.
(9) MTC Section 1407 , concerning spilling ofloads on highways , allows the City to
recover cleanup costs .
(1 0) MTC Section 1416 , concerning driving through private property or driveways ,
prohibits this activity.
( 11) MTC Section 1417 , concerning traffic violations in certain zones , doubles fines in
school and construction zones .
(12) MTC Section 1701 , is amended to maintain the City's current classification of traffic
infractions and criminal traffic offenses and to provide the penalty ranges for
infractions (a fine up to $1 ,000), and offenses (a fine up to $1 ,000 and/or imprisonment
for up to one year).
Section 1701 of the 2010 MTC, as published by COOT, contains a detailed penalty
schedule for violations of particular MTC sections.
Staff recommends maintaining the current maximum penalty ranges for infractions and
offenses generally, to permit the Municipal Court Judge to impose penalties that are
appropriate to all the particular facts and circumstances of a case.
(13) Part 18 ofthe 2010 MTC, as published by COOT, addresses abandoned vehicles and
tow procedures. The Wheat Ridge Code of Laws regulates abandoned vehicles and
towing under Article III of Chapter 13. Part 18 of the 2010 MTC is therefore
unnecessary , and is deleted. A cross-reference to sections within Part 18 is also deleted
from Section 13-43 of the Code.
Staff recommends that this ordinance, if adopted , become effective on November 1, 2012 ,
allowing for the Court and Police Records Management Systems to be upgraded to reflect these
changes , and for new summons to be ordered reflecting these changes.

Purpose:
Use Permit Proposal for the Parking Lot at 381h Ave and High Ct.
City of Wheat Ridge, Tim Paranto
Right Coast Pizza, Mark Eskow and Justin Vogel
June 27, 2012
This letter serves as a formal application to use the city-owned parking lot west of the building at 38 1h
and High Ct. owned by Right Coast Pizza for special events during the summer of 2012. The parking lot
will serve as an extension of the restaurant/ bar during these events and security will be managed by
Right Coast Pizza event staff.
Security:
• Each event will consist of creating a fenced off walkway from the front door to the parking lot.
• Fences will be installed between the Right Coast Pizza building and the shoe store building and
also blocking off the alleyway . The perimeter of the parking lot will be supervised by event staff
during the entirety of the event.
• All customers are welcome to attend these free events.
• For those participants who are over 21, they will be age-verified and will be given a bracelet if
they are legal to consume alcohol.
• Those staffing the event will monitor outside areas to make sure only those with bracelets are
consuming alcohol and that the perimeter of the parking lot and sidewalk are secure and that no
one is passing drinks.
Insurance:
• Right Coast Pizza will secure special event insurance for all events scheduled in the parking lot
area. They will also secure a special event liquor license permit for each of the events.
Event Types:
• Movie in the "Park-ing Lot"-These events will be run by installing a screen on the west side of
the Right Coast Pizza building and projecting a family friendly movie. These events will begin
before sunset so participants can come with their chairs and blankets. The movie will start at
sunset and Right Coast staff will control the volume level so not to disturb the nearby
residences. They will follow all of the above security guidelines above.
Anticipated Parking Lot Closure: The parking lot will be closed at 6 :30/7:00 PM to allow
for the security parameters to be set up. The parking lot will remain closed untilll:OO
PM at the latest.
Dates Requested: August 11, September 8 and September 22 "d (weather permitting)
• Right Coast Pizza Grand Opening and Beer Festival-This event will be the official grand opening
of the restaurant and bar. Tents will be set up in the parking lot and staffed by local Colorado
breweries who are suppliers for Right Coast Pizza. This event will also include a live band that
will also be stationed in the parking lot. The event will be a late afternoon and evening event,
but again will be conscious about quite evening hours as to not disrupt the neighborhood
residences . Whereas the same process for security will be followed as above, increased security
and staff will be on hand due to the nature of this event and the larger attendance expectations.
Attachment 2
Anticipated Parking Lot Closure: The Parking lot will be closed at 12:00PM to allow for
security perimeter to be set up and for the guest tents will have time to set up. The
event will officially end between 10PM and 10:30, but due to clean-up and breakdown,
the parking lot will remain closed untii12:00AM.
Date Requested: August 25, 2012
Thank you for your consideration and continued partnership with local businesses in Wheat Ridge . We
are very optimistic that these events will bring additional positive attention to the great community we
are building together and will work closely with the city to ensure the events are safe and meet the
requirements of the city.
Sincerely Yours,
Mark Eskow and Justin Vogel
