and appropriating sums of money to the various funds and spending agencies in the amounts specified for the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado for the 2011 Budget Year. Louise Turner expressed
concern for a number of wasteful practices in the City and suggested ways the City could save taxpayer money. She believes there is an unnecessary amount of upper level staff with extremely
high salaries in the City. Until the last City Administration, the City had only one City Manager. Today we have two, plus several more highly-paid executive staff. She recommended cutting
expenses by not filling positions when they become vacant and to seriously reconsider whether some capital projects are necessary. The idea of a new Public Works and Park Services facility
is atrocious and unnecessary. Staff is now asking for $.5 million a year to fund this new facility, and she believes there are better uses for this money in a down economy. She also
also believes the 44th & Wadsworth land purchases made by the City were not wise or necessary in this economy considering it eliminated several businesses and approximately 60-70 jobs
in the City. Further, she recounted several Resolutions that Council passed throughout this year amending the budget to add more expenditures from the General Fund not originally approved
in the Budget. Specifically, the Connections Newsletter was appropriated $80,000 additional this year. The City's newsletter used to be economically produced and only for informational
purposes. Now it's a large, color publication with a lot of promotions. The City Council made two gifts
City Council Minutes Page 4 this year to Urban Renewal (Renewal Wheat Ridge) to conduct a study establishing blight on Kipling in the amounts of $50,000 & $70,000 approximately. Kipling
is not a blighted area and does not require money to be spent to do a blight study. Considering the population of Wheat Ridge isn't growing, the budget should not be allowed to grow
so large. She asked, if you cannot control the budget today, how will it be in the future? Mayor DiTullio closed the public hearing. Motion by Mrs. Sang to continue discussion on the
Budget at the November 15, 2010 Study Session and to consider its approval at the November 22nd , 2010 Council Meeting; seconded by Mr. DeMott; failed 5-3 with Council Members Sang,
Stites and DeMott voting Yes. Motion by Mr. Reinhart to approve Resolution 59-2010, a resolution adopting the City Budget and appropriating sums of money to the various funds and spending
agencies in the amounts specified for the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado for the 2011 Budget Year; seconded by Mrs. Langworthy; carried 5-3 with Council Members Stites, DeMott and Sang
voting No. ELECTED OFFICIALS' MATTERS Mayor DiTullio indicated he would not be able to attend tonight's Study Session following the regular meeting and encouraged Council to fund the
$1 million necessary to support the 44th & Wadsworth development project. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 8:11p.m. ~ Michael Snow, City Clerk APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL ON November 22,

(d) Based on inspections performed by the owner or by the city, modifications to the SWMP will be necessary if at any time the specified BMP's do not meet the objectives of this chapter.
In this case, the owner shall meet with City personnel to determine the appropriate modifications. All modifications shall be completed immediately of the referenced inspection, and
shall be recorded on the owner's copy of SWMP. (e) SWMP modifications. The operator shall amend the SWMP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance
of the BMPs, which has a significant effect on the potential for discharge of pollutants to the MS4 or receiving waters, or if the SWMP proves to be ineffective in achieving the general
objectives of controlling pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with construction activities. Minor modifications to the SWMP do not need to be reviewed by the City, but must

BMPs. (a) Land development that is subject to the requirements of this chapter must address stormwater runoff quality through the use of permanent BMPs which shall be maintained in perpetuity.
WRPW013 (1) All permanent BMPs of any site including, without limitation, detention basins, retention basins, ponds, inlets, outlets, outfall ditches, and structures for which the owner
thereof or his or her predecessor-ininterest obtained approval from the city for the construction or establishment, shall be maintained in good repair and in substantially the form,
condition and nature which was represented at the time they were constructed. It is the intention of this section that such permanent BMPs, having once been approved for construction
or development, shall not be allowed to deteriorate to a condition which is in any respect inferior to the condition or state upon which the original approval for construction or development
was based. For purposes of this section, either or both the 12
owner or tenant of the structure or real property shall be considered the responsible party. (2) Maintenance of all permanent BMPs shall be ensured through the creation of a stormwater
facility maintenance agreement that must be approved by the city and recorded in the office of the Jefferson County county clerk and recorder prior to the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy or completion. The agreement shall be binding on all subsequent owners of land served by the permanent BMP. As part of the agreement, a schedule shall be developed, detailing
when and how often maintenance will occur to ensure proper function of the permanent BMPs. The agreement shall also include plans for periodic inspections to ensure proper performance
of the facility between scheduled maintenance. The agreement shall provide for access to the facility at reasonable times for periodic inspection or any remedial maintenance by the city,
or its contractor or agent, and for regular or special assessments of property owners to ensure that the facility is maintained in proper working condition to meet design standards and
any other provisions established by this chapter. (b) Inspections of permanent BMPs. WRPW 013 (1) All permanent BMPs must undergo, at the minimum, periodic inspections by the city, as
deemed appropriate by the Director, to document maintenance and repair needs and ensure compliance with the requirements of this chapter and accomplishment of its purposes. These needs
may include removal of silt, litter and other debris from all catch basins, inlets, ponds and detention! retention basins, outlet structures and drainage pipes, grass cutting and vegetation
removal, and necessary replacement of landscape vegetation. Any maintenance needs found by city inspection or otherwise must be addressed in a timely manner, as determined in writing
by the Director. The inspection and maintenance requirement may be increased as deemed necessary to ensure proper functioning of the permanent BMPs. (2) Inspection programs may be established
by the city on any reasonable basis, including but not limited to: routine inspections; random inspections; inspections based upon complaints or other notice of possible violations;
inspection of drainage basins or areas identified as higher than typical sources of sediment or other contaminants or pollutants; inspections of businesses or industries of a type associated
with higher than usual discharges of contaminants or pollutants or with discharges of a type which are more likely than the typical discharge to cause violations of state or federal
water or sediment quality standards or the COPS stormwater permit; and joint inspections with other agencies inspecting under environmental or safety laws. Inspections may include, but
are not limited to reviewing maintenance and repair records; sampling discharges, 13
surface water, groundwater, and material or water in drainage control facilities; and evaluating the condition of drainage control facilities and other stormwater treatment practices.
(3) When any permanent BMP is installed on private property, or when any new connection is made between private property and a public drainage control system, the property owner shall
grant to the city the right to enter the property at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner for the purpose of inspection. This includes the right to enter a property when the city
has a reasonable basis to believe that a violation of this chapter is occurring or has occurred, and to enter when necessary for abatement of a public nuisance or correction of a violation
of this chapter. (4) Parties responsible for the operation and maintenance of a permanent BMP shall make records of its installation and of all maintenance and repairs, and shall retain
the records for at least 2 years. These records shall be made available to the city during inspection of the facility and at other reasonable times upon request. Sec. 20-35. Financial
security. (a) Construction of the BMPs and other stormwater facilities required by this Chapter shall be a condition of issuance of any grading permit required pursuant to section 20-31
or section 26-623 of this Code. (b) A further condition of the grading permit required by section 20-31 and/or section 26-623 of this Code shall be the posting of a performance bond
to guarantee the construction of the BMPs or stormwater facilities required by this chapter, as fully set forth herein. (c) The amount of the performance bond shall be based upon an
itemized cost estimate prepared by the permittee and approved by the city. (d) Form of performance bond WRPW013 (1) The performance bond shall be for one hundred twenty-five (125) percent
of the estimated costs of the required grading and BMP improvements as computed by the permittee and approved by the Director. The requirement for a performance bond under chapter 26,
section 623 of this Code may be satisfied by inclusion in the performance bond required in this section. Submittal of more than one (1) bond is not required. (2) No form of performance
bond drawn upon a bank or financial institution having any relationship to the applicant or any principal, director, officer or shareholder of the applicant (other than the relationship
of depositor or checking account holder), shall be acceptable. The city may reject any tendered performance bond for any reason. 14
(3) The performance bond shall be in a form satisfactory to the city attorney. The performance bond guarantees the city that the financial backing is available
and the improvements will in fact be completed and paid for. a. The performance bond may be from any financially responsible lender that is not directly or indirectly owned or controlled
by the permittee. b. The performance bond shall be in effect for a minimum period of one (1) year and shall be renewable for subsequent oneyear periods at the city's sole discretion.
c. The performance bond shall be such that the city is assured that the permittee has funds committed to the amount and that in the event of a default by the permittee the city shall
have available to it, upon demand or, funds necessary to construct any/or all of the grading and BMP improvements. d. The city may release percent portions of the performance bond in
increments of no less than twenty-five (25) at the discretion of the Director upon written request of the applicant. In such case, an amended performance bond shall be required. In no
case shall the full amount of the performance bond be released until final acceptance has been granted and all BMP improvements have been constructed and approved. e. After all repairs
are made at the end of the warranty period and final acceptance is issued, the performance bond will be released. (e) If the permittee does not successfully complete all required work
or violates any requirement of the permit or this chapter, the city may take corrective measures and charge the cost of such to the permittee. Such costs shall include the actual cost
of any work deemed necessary by the city plus reasonable administrative and inspection costs and penalties pursuant to this Code. If the total of such costs exceeds the performance bond,
the permittee shall be responsible for payment of the remaining balance within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of an accounting of such from the city. Such costs, if unpaid, may
be certified to the county treasurer for collection in the same manner as real property taxes. Sec. 20-36 -20-40. Reserved. WRPW013 15

LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF 44TH AVENUE AND WADSWORTH TO THE MIXED USE-COMMERCIAL (MU-C) ZONE DISTRICT (CASE NO. WZ,1O-07) o PUBLIC HEARING o BlDS/MOTIONS o RESOLUTIONS ISSUE:
~ ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING (11122/2010) o ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (12/13/2010) ~ YES o NO or -E~r41 The Wadsworth Corridor Subarea Plan, adopted in 2007, aod the Envision Wheat
Ridge comprehensive plan, adopted in 2009, call for medium and high density mixed use redevelopment along the Wadsworth Corridor. Both plans envision a mixed use town center with compact,
pedestrian-friendly development on Wadsworth between 38th and 44'h Avenues. Renewal Wheat Ridge, the City's urban renewal authority, controls nine acres ofland at the southeast comer
of 44th Avenue and Wadsworth. In partnership with a Master Developer, Renewal Wheat Ridge is working on on redevelopment plans for this property. The redevelopment plans entail mixed
use development that is aoticipated to include office, retail, and residential, as well as high-quality open space and streets that correspond with the vision for a quality mixed use
town center in this area. In order to advance the City's goal of promoting mixed use redevelopment on Wadsworth, and to support the development concept proposed by Renewal Wheat Ridge,
the City initiated rezoning the property at the southeast comer of 44th Avenue and WZ-IO-07
Council Action Form November 22, 2010 Page 2 Wadsworth to Mixed Use-Commercial (MU-C). The MU-C zoning would enable the mixed use redevelopment of this area by creating a streamlined
development review process, allowing higher-density, mixed use development, and by allowing a range of land uses, including residential. PRIOR ACTION: City Council adopted a resolution
to proceed with the proposed rezoning on September 13,2010. Planning Commission recommended approval at a public hearing on November 4, 20 I O. Meeting minutes from the Planning Commission
Public Hearing will be included with the ordinance for second reading. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed ordinance is not expected to have a direct financial impact on the City. However,
the new zoning should enable redevelopment that will advance the City's goals for economic development and the creation of a diverse and resilient tax base. BACKGROUND: The property
to be rezoned is located at the southeast corner ofW. 44th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard and extends east to Upham Street. It includes the property located immediately at the corner,
4350 Wadsworth, which contains the First Bank building. It also includes the property located at 7540 W. 44th Avenue, which fronts W. 44th Avenue just east of Wadsworth and contains
the Panda King restaurant. The third property, located at 7340 W. 44th Avenue, contains a large parking lot and vacant land, an antique mall that has recently been vacated, and a former/vacant
transmission shop located at the corner ofW. 44th Avenue and Upham Street. The property at this address, which is approximately nine acres in size, was purchased by the urban renewal
authority, Renewal Wheat Ridge, in 2008. RWR is working with a master developer on a redevelopment plan for this property that is anticipated to include office, retail, and residential
uses. Existing Zoning The current zoning on the site is Restricted Commercial (R-C), Commercial One (C-I), and Planned Commercial Development (PCD). The Pay-N-Pak PCD that applies to
the property property was approved in 1977 through an Outline Development Plan (ODP). It allows the same uses as the C-I zone district, with the exception of auto, truck, and trailer
sales. Overall, the existing commercial zoning on the site allows for a wide range of commercial uses, especially in the C-l and PCD districts. All three existing zone districts on the
subject site place considerable restrictions on residential development, including the following conditions: • No new residences, as a primary or principal use, shall be allowed. • The
amount of floor area devoted to commercial use must exceed the amount devoted to residential use.
Council Action Form November 22, 2010 Page 3 • Residential use density shall not exceed one dwelling unit per 5,000 square feet (roughly 8.7 units per acre). In terms of building heights,
the current zoning on the site limits commercial buildings to a maximum of 50 feet and any building with a residential use to a maximum of 35 feet. Any development under the current
zoning would also be subject to the Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM) since the area is part of the Traditional Overlay district. The ASDM contains site and building design
standards that encourage quality architecture and pedestrian-friendly design. City's Adopted Plans The City has two recently-adopted plans that establish the goals and policies for the
future of Wadsworth: Wadsworth Corridor Subarea Plan Adopted in 2007, this plan calls for the redevelopment of Wadsworth with mixed use, medium and high density development. The proposed
rezoning to the MU-C zone district will enable the redevelopment of the urban renewal property to to a mixed use, pedestrian-friendly development that fits the following goals stated
in the Wadsworth Corridor Subarea Plan: • Encourage the development of the Wadsworth Corridor, especially between W. 44th Avenue and W. 38th Avenue, as a town center for Wheat Ridge
-filling in both sides of Wadsworth Boulevard with a mix of commercial, office, and residential uses, convenient parking both on-street and behind the buildings, and broad sidewalks
with benches, street plantings and areas for plaza and outdoor dining • [n general, encourage a gradual increase in density and building height closer to Wadsworth Boulevard to provide
the critical mass of uses and residents that will help support the businesses in the Corridor and bring life to this town center as well as prevent encroachment into the residential
neighborhoods east and west of the Subarea. Comprehensive Plan Envision Wheat Ridge, the comprehensive plan adopted in 2009, also promotes the vision for Wadsworth, between 44th and
38th Avenues, to become a mixed use town center. The plan identifies the Wadsworth corridor as one of five priority redevelopment areas in the City and specifically recommends that the
City, in collaboration with economic development partners, guide the development of a pedestrian-friendly, mixed use town center at this location. RECOMMENDATIONS: The proposed MU-C
zone district would encourage the type of quality, mixed use development that is called for in the City's plans for Wadsworth. Key aspects of the MU-C zone district that would promote
the mixed use redevelopment of this site include: • A streamlined development review process • A wide range of allowable land uses, including residential
Council Action Form November 22, 20 I 0 Page 4 • Architectural standards, such as build-to requirements and ground floor transparency, that encourage quality design but allow for more
flexibility than the ASDM, which currently applies to the site • Higher allowable building heights and densities • Flexible parking requirements • Requirements for residential transitions
that will help protect the existing residential neighborhood close to the site. For these reasons, the proposed rezoning would help advance redevelopment of a priority area within the
City, enabling high-quality mixed use development that fulfills the City's adopted plans for a mixed use town center on Wadsworth. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "1 move to approve Council Bill
No. 19-20 I 0, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at the southeast corner of 44th Avenue and Wadsworth to the Mixed Use-Commercial (MU-C) zone district, on first
reading, order it published, public hearing set for Monday, December 13, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. in City Council Chambers, and that it take effect 15 days after final publication. Or, "I

LAKEWOOD AND THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE FOR CRIME LAB/CRIME SCENE SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING PAYMENT OF $66,400 o PUBLIC HEARING o BIDS/MOTIONS ~ RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: Ch ef of P lice
ISSUE: o ORDINANCES FOR 1 ST READING o ORDINANCES FOR 2 ND READING o YES In 2006, the Wheat Ridge Police Department entered into an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) with the Lakewood
Police Department to provide forensic crime lab services. This agreement was prompted by recommendations made in the 2004 Police Department Organizational Assessment which recommended
civilianizing the department's crime lab and using the two sworn crime lab detective positions for other police functions. The disbursement of $66,400 is made to the City of Lakewood
in four quarterly payments. PRIOR ACTION: After reviewing the available options, the Police Department Department entered into an agreement with the Lakewood Police Department to provide
forensic crime lab services. The first IGA, an eighteenmonth agreement, was approved in June, 2006 and ended December 31, 2007. Due to the success of this agreement, it has been continued.
The City of Lakewood requires IGA's to be approved annually. This agreement has again been successful over the past year and it is recommended the agreement to be continued in 2011.
BACKGROUND: Prior to this agreement, the Wheat Ridge Police Department had two sworn detectives assigned to the Forensic Crime Lab. Two separate assessments recommended the department
explore options to staffmg the forensic crime lab with non-sworn personnel. After reviewing the alternatives, the police department determined the best option was to partner with the
Lakewood
Council Action Fonn -Lakewood Crime Lab lOA November 22, 20 I 0 Page 2 Police Department. This partnership allowed the department to enhance forensic crime lab services to the community.
The department used one sworn position to fund the hiring of a crime scene analyst for the Lakewood Police Department and reassigned the second crime lab position as a detective in the
Investigations Bureau to investigate criminal cases. This partnership provides the Wheat Ridge Police Department with immediate access to Lakewood Crime Lab personnel as needed. The
Lakewood Police Department provides access to their crime scene analysts and a supervisor to respond to calls in Wheat Ridge based on the crime scene processing needs. This arrangement
allows the department to allocate personnel resources to investigating cases. To date, this partnership has improved service levels at major crime scenes and has provided for an assigned
crime scene analyst to routinely process evidentiary items at the police department. In addition, the supervisor and crime scene technicians routinely attend Investigation Bureau meetings
and have provided crime scene processing training to Wheat Ridge officers. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Per the agreement, Wheat Ridge will pay salary and benefit costs for one Lakewood Crime Lab
position at $61,000 for 20 II. Preliminary overtime costs have been estimated at $5,400 per year, bringing the total cost to $66,400 per year, from budgeted account no 01-212-700-704.
In addition, the department will provide for the replenishment of supplies consumed in the course of a Wheat Ridge investigation. In comparison, salary and benefits costs for one Wheat
Ridge Police senior detective position are $91,064. With the additional estimated overtime costs of $8,000, the total costs for a sworn crime lab position are about $99,064. This IGA
saves the department approximately $32,664 a year. RECOMMENDATIONS: The police department recommends maintaining the partnership with the Lakewood Police Department for the period of
January 1,2011 through December 31,20 II . This lOA improves the efficiency of the police department and the level of service to the community. It also provides the opportunity to redeploy
a sworn position to the Investigations Bureau. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve Resolution No. 61-2010 -a resolution approving an Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of
Lakewood and the City of Wheat Ridge for Crime Lab/Crime scene services and authorizing payment in the amount of $66,400." Or, "I move to postpone indefinitely Resolution No. 61-2010
-a resolution approving an Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Lakewood and the City of Wheat Ridge for Crime Lab/Crime scene services and authorizing payment in the amount
