DYE'S ~ NO The City receives federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds through Jefferson County. Generally the City receives an annual allocation of funds to expend on projects
that are considered eligible and fall under the national objectives of the CDBG program. Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of2009, the City will be receiving
$97,740 in Community Development Block Grant -Recovery (CDBG-R) funds from Jefferson County. The CDBG-R funds are to primarily be expended on projects that modernize and improve the
energy efficiency of the nation's infrastructure. After considering various project alternatives that would meet the intent of the law, the City and County decided the funds would be
used to conduct an energy audit and energy
Council Action Form April 12, 2010 Page 2 efficiency upgrades to the Wheat Ridge Senior/Commlmity Center. This is an older City facility with inefficient and outdated infrastructure
and equipment. A contract has been executed between Jefferson County and the City regarding the expenditure of the funds. The City can now release a request for proposals for this project.
A budget amendment is required to reflect the acceptance of the $97,740 award and to appropriate it to hire a contractor to undertake an energy audit and energy upgrades to the Wheat
Ridge Senior/Community Center. PRIOR ACTION: None BACKGROUND: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of2009 was signed into law in February 2009. The Recovery Act awards $1
billion in CDBG -Recovery (CDBG-R) funds to be distributed to 1200 cities, counties and jurisdictions that received regular CDBG funding in fiscal year 2008. Since Jefferson County receives
regular CDBG funding, the County was awarded $259,014 in CDBG-R funds. The purpose of the CDBG-CDBG-R funds is to stimulate the economy through measures that modernize the nation 's
infrastructure, improve energy efficiency and expand educational opportunities. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) strongly urged grantees to use CDBG-R funds for
hard development costs associated with activities that provide basic services to residents or activities that promote energy efficiency and conservation through rehabilitation or retrofitting
of existing buildings. It was the recommendation of the Community Development Advisory Board (CDAB) that the County CDBG-R funds be distributed to jurisdictions or organizations in Jefferson
County. At the request of the Parks Department, the City originally suggested the funds be used for energy improvements to the Recreation Center. This idea was presented to HUD with
the determination that the Recreation Center could be construed as an entertainment venue which did not meet the intent of the CDBG-R regulations. The fi.mds could not be used on City
Hall Hall since it involves the general conduct of government which is not eligible under CDBG regulations. The funds could however be used for energy improvements to the Wheat Ridge
Senior/Community Center. The CDAB's recommendation was to award the funds as follows: $97,740 be awarded to the City of Wheat Ridge for energy improvements to the Wheat Ridge Senior/Community
Center, $56,588 be awarded to the cities of Golden and Edgewater to undertake energy improvements to owner-occupied homes, and $111,185 to the Jefferson County Housing Authority (JCHA)
for energy upgrades to multi-family rental properties. A certain portion of the funds are to be retained by Jefferson County for administration of the program.
Council Action Form April 12, 2010 Page 3 Now that a contract has been executed between the County and the City, the City will release a request for proposals to obtain bids from firms
to undertake the energy improvements to the Wheat Ridge Senior/Community Center. FINANCIAL IMPACT: No negative financial impact is anticipated. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the
budget amendment and appropriation of $97,740 for CDBG-R funds to undertake an energy audit and energy efficiency upgrades to the Wheat Ridge Senior/Community Center. RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"[ move to approve Resolution No. 17-2010, a resolution amending the fi scal year 2010 budget account number 0 1-624-800-812, to reflect acceptance of CDBG-R funds in the amount of $97,740

, QUASI-JUDICIAL: 0 YES ~ NO men ctor ISSUE: The 38th Ave. corridor east of Wadsworth Blvd. was identified in the Envision Wheal Ridge Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) as a high priority
redevelopment area for the City. The Plan recommends development of a subarea plan for the corridor. In addition, WR2020 has targeted many of their initiatives on 38th Ave. including
a Downtown Colorado
Inc. and Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) consultant workshop held last last December. The Action Plan resulting from the DOLA workshop also suggested the development ofa corridor
or subarea plan for 38th Ave. LiveWell Wheat Ridge (LWWR) participated in development of the Comp Plan, supporting policies that focused on redevelopment of mixed-use, pedestrian friendly
environments. The initial vision for the redevelopment of 38th Ave. and for creation of the subarea plan would be for 38th Ave. to become a corridor that embraces multiple modes of transportation
and a place with a mix of uses encouraging walking and biking
Council Action Form April 12,2010 Page 2 rather than auto dependency. To this end, LWWR is providing a grant to the City for use in obtaining community input through development of the
subarea plan. The City will receive $12,250 to hire a consultant to facilitate community input sessions to gain public input on what the vision for redevelopment of38'h Ave. should be.
A budget amendment is required to reflect the acceptance of the $12,250 grant and to appro~riate it to the community outreach efforts for development ofa subarea plan for 38' Ave. PRIOR
ACTION: None BACKGROUND: After an extensive planning effort with significant public involvement, City Council adopted the Envision Wheal Ridge Comprehensive Plan in October of2009. The
purpose of the Comp Plan is to set forth a proactive vision for the community and identify key areas in the City where redevelopment efforts should be focused. One of the primary areas
targeted for redevelopment through the planning process is 38'h Ave. east of Wadsworth Blvd. This area was consistently identified through Citizen Advisory Committee and public meetings
as the downtown of Wheat Ridge. The Comp Plan recommends this area be redeveloped as the "main street" of the City. To achieve this goal, a subarea plan needs to be developed that focuses
on 38'h Ave. and establishes a "main street" vision and the necessary action steps to accomplish this vision. WR2020 requested, and was provided technical assistance by Downtown Colorado,
Inc., through a grant from DOLA, to prepare an Action Plan focusing on the marketing and redevelopment of38'h Ave. The Action Plan makes a number of recommendations to achieve revitalization
of38'h Ave. This Action Plan also supports 38'h Ave. as the "main street" for the City and suggests that a corridor or subarea plan be developed to achieve this vision. In implementing
the recommendations of the Comp Plan, the Community Development Department is making planning for 38'h Ave. a priority. Ideally the City would hire a consultant to assist with preparation
ofa subarea plan for 38'h Ave. Given the current budget situation this is not an option. In lieu ofthis, LWWR is providing the City with a grant to hire a consultant specifically to
facilitate public input meetings for development ofa plan. LWWR was involved in development of the Comp Plan and their mission supports redeveloping our corridors into mixed-use, pedestrian
environments. L WWR will provide the public health perspective for 38'h Ave. planning, supporting the idea that mixed-use, walkable places are healthier for the population than auto-oriented
strip development. Hiring a neutral facilitator is important in gaining public input and support so there is no perception that the City has a particular agenda for 38'h Ave. , as might
be the case if staff were to facilitate the meetings. Other aspects of planning and development of the subarea plan can be completed by City staff.
Council Action Fonn April 12,2010 Page 3 Community Development staff will prepare a request for proposal to hire a consultant with the goal of having the first community outreach meetings
in the early summer. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The funding for this project is provided by a grant from LiveWell Colorado through Jefferson County Public Health. The City will enter into a purchase
agreement with the County regarding expenditure of the funds. The County will reimburse the City for consultant services for up to the total grant amount of $12,250. The City will contract
with a consultant to assist with facilitation of community input sessions for 38'h Ave. A request for proposals will be developed so the City can obtain proposals from multiple consulting
firms. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the budget amendment and appropriation of $12,250 for use in contracting with a consulting firm to facilitate community input sessions
for planning efforts on 38'h Ave. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "[ move to approve Resolution No. 16-20 I 0, a resolution amending the fiscal year 20 I 0 budget account number 01-123-700-704 to

SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 5 OF THE CODE OF LAWS OF THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE CONCERNING THE BUILDING CODE, THE MECHANICAL CODE, THE PLUMBING CODE, THE ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE, THE RESIDENTIAL
CODE, THE FIRE CODE, THE FUEL GAS CODE AND PENAL TIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE SAME o PUBLIC HEARING ~ ORDINANCES FOR 1ST o o ORDINANCES FOR 2NDR REEAADDIINNGG ((MAparyil 1102, ,2200(100))
BIDS/MOTIONS o RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: , o YES ~ NO tor ISSUE: The proposed ordinance would adopt the 2006 version of the International Building Code, the International Mechanical
Code, the International Plumbing Code, the International Energy Conservation Code, the International Residential Code, the International Fire Code and the International Fuel Gas Code,
with administrative and technical amendments to each of the codes. The ordinance also amends the current building permit fee schedule. PRIOR ACTION: The proposed amendments were reviewed
at a City Council study session on March 1,2010. The proposed amendments have also been reviewed by two citizen task forces . A City Manager appointed task force met 3 times in 2009
and made recommendations on the 2006 codes to be adopted and in January of 20 I 0, a Mayor appointed task force convened to review the proposed 2006 codes and made recommendations to
City Council that were reviewed at the March I study session. Both task forces received consulting support from Steve Thomas with Colorado Code
Council Action Form April 12,2010 Page 2 Consulting (CCC), a recognized expert in the field of building codes and enforcement. The 2006 codes with amendments have also been presented
to the City's licensed building contractors and the City's appointed Building Code Board of Appeals. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The ordinance proposes to reduce the base building permit fee from
$30.50 to $26.50 (13% reduction), which will have an estimated financial impact of the City of approximately $75,000 annually. Previously in 2009, City Council approved an ordinance
establishing reduced set fees for various small residential building permits, such as furnace and hot water heater replacements. The current ordinance would also establish reduced set
fees for "planning permits" and residential window replacement permits. Based on City Council direction at the March I study session, we will also be adopting a new fee schedule for
different categories of floodplain permits, which is an administrative approval. BACKGROUND: The City is currently operating under the 2003 International Codes, with local amendments.
Nearly all communities on the Front Range have now adopted the 2006 International Codes. Over the course of the past 18 months, the City has been considering adoption of the 2006 International
Codes, with amendments as appropriate for the City of Wheat Ridge. Based on the Building Division Assessment that was developed with the help of CCC and a citizen task force in 2009
and the Mayor's Task Force, which was convened in early 20 10, we believe we have an ordinance that reflects the needs of the community. The ordinance has been amended to reflect the
recommendations of the Mayor's Task Force on which there was City Council consensus at the March I study session. Changes that have been included in the revised ordinance. • Base fee
has been reduced from $30.50 to $26.50 • New plumbing schedule establishing at what occupancy separate sex toilet facilities are required • Exemption for residential exterior siding
replacement of not more than 35% • 2006 International Property Maintenance Code removed from ordinance • Ventilation Section from 2009 International Mechanical Code inserted into 2006
Mechanical Code Building Division Policies. In addition to the adoption of the 2006 codes, there has also been discussion of some building division policies as they relate to such topics
as required inspections, stop work orders, etc. Building Division policies are typically developed and published by the Chief Building Official and then made available to contractors
and property owners through the City'S website and with handouts available in the Building Division. Based on the consensus recommendation from the Task Force the Building Official has
updated several policies and written up some others which had been in practice, but had not been formally published. We have attached those for your reference.
Council Action Fonn April 12, 2010 Page 3 RECOMMENDATIONS: There were two policy questions, for which there was not a clear consensus and those are summarized below. We have provided
options of language that could be adopted on I st reading to be incorporated into the ordinance that is published for public hearing. "Planning permits". Staff had proposed the addition
in the 2006 Codes ofa "planning permit". Planning pennits were proposed to be required for certain types of work that are otherwise exempt from a building permit requirement, but that
do have to meet certain zoning requirements. Examples of the types of work that we would propose to review through a "planning permit" would be sheds, driveways, fences, commercial parking
lots, etc. [t has been the City's practice in the past to require these types of projects to get building permits, in order to ensure they were in compliance with zoning regulations
and in many cases, public works requirements regarding stormwater quality and erosion control. However, we did not actually have a clear code basis for requiring those types of projects
to get a building permit, from which they were technically exempt. [n proposing the "planning pennit", we were proposing to fonnalize our past practice and reduce the fee charged for
those penn its to a flat $35, which is significantly less than what was charged in the past. In the past, use tax was also applied on the building permit fee. The Mayor's task force
recommended against the new planning permit, feeling that the burden of getting the permit was not justified relative to the number of zoning code violations that might occur if the
permits were not required. Staff continues to feel that by requiring the permits, we will proactively avoid code violations that will occur if residential and commercial property owners
are allowed to do various work without any City review, but are still ultimately responsible for complying with various sections of the municipal code. Examples of the types of work
that could be completed incorrectly without going through a City review process would include the following: • Fences installed in sight triangles at intersections or at too tall of
a height in the front yard • Commercial parking lots expanded without complying with required landscaping and stonnwater detention or water quality features • Sheds or decks installed
within a required zoning setback, too close to a neighboring property line The "planning pennit" remains in the attached ordinance. If City Council wishes to remove the planning permit,
adopt the following as an amendment to the motion adopting the ordinance on I st reading. "[ further move to direct staff to make necessary amendments to the ordinance to remove all
references to planning penn its and revert to the standard exemptions from building pennits." Window Replacement Penn its. Residential window replacement penn its have also been an area
of discussion. With the exception of instances where only a portion of the glazing is being replaced, window replacements are not exempt from the need to obtain a permit in the 2006
Council Action Form April 12, 2010 Page 4 Codes. The Mayor's Task Force had recommended exempting from permitting requirements all window replacement where the size of the opening was
not changing and the window was not required as a means of escape and rescue. There was not consensus from City Council on this issue. The current ordinance does not include the exemption
from permitting for window replacements. Staff believes there is value in conducting inspections on window replacements to ensure proper installation. Staff has also included in the
proposed ordinance a set fee of $50 for all residential window replacement permits, which will reduce the expense for property owners. If City Council wishes to exempt certain residential
window replacement from permitting requirements, adopt the following motion: "1 further move to direct staff to make necessary amendments to the ordinance to exempt from permitting all
residential window replacements not involving an escape and rescue window and where the size of of the opening will not be changed." Residential Exterior Cladding. The Mayor's Task Force
and City Council have provided direction to exempt certain residential exterior cladding from permitting requirements. Specifically, the direction was to exempt repair and replacement
project where the scope of work does not exceed 35% of anyone exterior cladding material and where no utility services are affected. The attached ordinance has been amended to reflect
that direction. Staff had previously expressed concern that the enforcement of a 35% replacement standard would present challenges in enforcement. [f City Council wishes to entirely
exempt residential exterior cladding repair and replacement, adopt the following motion: , "1 further move to direct staff to make necessary amendments to the ordinance to provide an
exemption for all residential exterior cladding repair and replacement that doe not include the relocation of electrical or gas utilities." RECOMMENDED MOTION: "1 move to approve Council
Bill No. 04-04-20 I 0, an ordinance repealing and reenacting certain sections of Chapter 5 of the Code of Laws and adopting the 2006 International Codes, on lSI reading, order it published

Fees. Table I-A has been amended to reflect the base fee of$26.50 per Council vote. This was recommendations #13 and #17, as amended by Council, of the Mayors' Task Force recommendations.
10. Page 56 -Table I-A Building Permit Fees. Table I-A has been amended to reflect a flat permit fee for residential window replacements, per discussion with Mayor DiTullio post Council
meeting. Permitting of replacement windows is incorporated into the body of the international Residential and International Energy Codes, and inclusion ofa flat rate permit fee will
reduce the cost of permits for homeowners while still providing inspection for proper installation, in much the same manner as the other flat rate permits previously approved by Council.
Staff concurs with the Mayors' proposal to require window replacement permits at a flat rate permit fee. These are the only modifications to the previously proposed ordinance for adoption
of the International Codes. 2

• < . City of . p WheatRL.dge ITEM NO: 3 I DATE: April 12, 20 I 0 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION TITLE: COUNCIL BILL NO. 05-2010 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CERTAIN SECTIONS OF CHAPTERS 5
AND 21 OF THE CODE OF LAWS OF THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE CONCERNING THE LICENSING OF CONTRACTORS o PUBLIC HEARING o BIDS/MOTIONS o RESOLUTIONS QUASI·JUDICIAL: Community eve [SSUE: [8] ORDINANCES
FOR 1ST READING (04/12/2010) o ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (05/10/2010) o YES [8] NO r The proposed ordinance amends the existing contractor license classes and clarifies the definition
of a contractor. The scope of the Class 4 license is broadened to include all contractors not specifically included in classes 1·3 and 5-15. The class 5 Homeowner Building Contractor
license is altered to remove the currently prescribed fee and licensing requirement, and instead, establish a simplified registration process similar to the Class 10 Electrical Contractor
license. The Class 10 Electrical Contractor license is update to coordinate with licensing legislation enacted at the state level. Other amendments are included to clarify responsibility
at the departmental and divisional level for verification of license qualifications. PRIOR ACTION: This ordinance was also proposed in 2009 when adoption of the 2006 codes was initially
being considered. The proposed changes were reviewed during the building division assessment in 2009 and were not reviewed by the Mayor's Task Force in 2010. It was a recommendation
of Colorado Code Consultants to clarify contractor licensing and make the changes regarding homeowner licensing as is being proposed in this ordinance.
Council Action Fonn April 12, 2010 Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: The current ordinance, as written, is ambiguous in its definition of contractor and scope of work requiring
licensing. Additionally, the current ordinance does not distinguish in its licensing requirements between homeowners and traditional contractors, requiring the same licensing procedures
for both and a fee for homeowner licensing. These requirements for homeowners are unnecessary and present an obstacle to the Building Division's ability to properly record and track
homeowner performed projects. The current ordinance also contains a specific list of projects eligible to be performed under a class 4 contractor license, creating ambiguity as to which
classification oflicense is required for contractors no performing the specified types of work that are listed. Finally, the current ordinance language pertaining to electrical contractors
does not align with State requirements for "registration" of electrical contractors in lieu of "licensing". RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends City Council adopt the proposed ordinance
on I st reading. RECOMMENDED MOTION: " I move to approve Council Bill No. 5-20 I 0, an ordinance amending certain sections of Chapters 5 and 21 of the Code of Laws concerning the licensing
of contractors on I st reading and set the public hearing for May 10,2010 at 7:00 p.m. in City Council Chambers. Or, "I move to table indefmitely Council Bill No. 5-20 I 0 for the following
