Wheat Ridge Business Walk
The Economic Development Division of the City Manager 's office conducted a Business
Walk (the Walk) on September 18, 2012 to gauge the pulse ofbusiness in Wheat Ridge. With
four questions, volunteer survey teams were able to gamer some valuable information that
will be used for the City's business retention, expansion and attraction efforts . The questions
were:
• How's business?
• How do you think business will be in the next 12-24 months?
• What do you like about doing business in Wheat Ridge?
• How can business be made better?
Eleven teams of 2-people conducted th e walk and visited over 200 businesses during a 2-hour
time period on the l81h. Walks teams consisted of volunteers from City Council, city staff,
Jefferson County Workforce Center, Wheat Ridge Business Association, Jeffco EDC, West
Chamber, Business Resource Center, and the Wheat Ridge business community. The teams
canvassed every part of the city including retail, service and industrial business sectors.
Each team spent an average of 5-minutes with each business. After the survey was conducted,
each team provided the business with a package of materials containing information on city,
county, state and other programs. The advantage of this type of walk is that individual
business owners and managers have the opportunity to meet face-to-face and convey
information back to city staff who can then act on their behalf to ensure a prosperous business
climate.
Businesses also had the opportunity to ask to be contacted by city staff at a future time to
discuss any particular issue(s) related to their business. The economic development manager
will make the initial contact with these businesses and attempt to resolve any outstanding
issues the business may have. If needed, additional city staff will be consulted to address any
Jssues.
Study Session Memo
October 15.2012
A follow-up meeting was conducted or each survey team one week after their walks. All 22
surveyors spoke highly of the well-organized walk and how valuable it was for them to take
part in the walk. All 22 reported they would participate again and would help recruit others to
make the 2013 walk even larger in scale.
The following report provides details on the responses to each of the interview questions.
How is Business?
The Wheat Ridge business
community is strong. Well over
three-quarters (88%) indicated that
business is at least good or steady.
Of those businesses that reported
that business is poor. a variety of
reasons were cited but generally
related to a shift in consumer
spending, a lack of customers, the
general economy of the U.S. or the
changes to 381h Avenue.
How is Business by Type

2 =Steady
3 =Poor

• Industrial
How is Business?
•Good
• Steady
• Poor
We then took the results and
broke those numbers down
by industry segment. The
numbers show that on an
average, all three sectors of
business -retail, service and
industrial -believe that
business is relatively
between good and steady.

How Will Business Be In The
Next 12-24 Months?

• Decline
Next 12-24 Months -By Type
1 = Get Better
2 = Stay the Same
3 =Decline
• Service
• Industrial
How will business be in the
next 12-24 months?
The Wheat Ridge Business Community is
very optimistic with 75% believing that
business will get better over the next year
or two. Of those who predicted that
business will decline, the reasons were
the price of materials to manufacture their
product and actions of the federal
government.
The reasons provided were an
improvement in the economy, the
upcoming winter season, housing starts,
better planning, and even the upcoming
local, state and national elections.
When we evaluate the same question
and break it down to industry
segments, the numbers indicate that
all three segments believe that
business over the next 1-2 years will
stay the same or get better.

What Do You Like About WR?
11%
What do you like about
doing business in Wheat
Ridge?
When asked what they like about
doing business in Wheat Ridge, most
respondents (46%) indicated it was the
location. Clients were able to find
their business and the area they
selected made it convenient for their
business success. The second most
common single response was the
community of Wheat Ridge. They liked the small-town feeling of their family-oriented business.
A sense of security and being able to provide personalized services to their clientele. Many live in
Wheat Ridge and plan to stay in the area for an extended period of time. Their clientele was the
third most-mentioned response. These respondents enjoyed coming to work because of the people
they interact with on a daily basis. They report many customers are loyal and have been coming
to their business and want to see the area thrive. Twenty percent of respondents listed more than
one reason they liked doing business in Wheat Ridge.
What can we do to improve business?
The survey teams also asked each business if they had any specific business concems and how
they felt the City of Wheat Ridge could assist them with those issues. Overall, most
respondents had no comments and told the surveyors they had a general satisfaction with doing
business in Wheat Ridge. Some of the responses received included the following: make owner
of building shovel snow; put in more effort along 44th similar to what's occurring on 38t 11 ;
taxes are too high; provide training for small business; good website; promote locally owned
businesses: attract more business to 38th and continue the improvements; slow down traffic;

ZOPPE' ITALIAN FAMILY CIRCUS FINAL REPORT (page 1)
HIGHLIGHTS J HISTORY:
The Zoppe' Italian Family Circus has been entertaining audiences in the same grand
tradition since it's humble beginnings in Venice, Italy in 1842. The seventh generation of
Zoppe's arrived in Wheat Ridge, Colorado as the main attraction of the 43rd Annual Wheat
Ridge Carnation Festival with much anticipation from the community and they did not let us
down. The Zoppe' Family delighted audiences at 16 performances during their run in
Wheat Ridge. The antics of Nino the Clown and Papino the Ringmaster never fail to keep
the show fun in between the numerous acts featuring skilled circus artists performing with
horses, canines and even chickens. The perch pole acts and aerial acts such as cloud swing,
trapeze and the web were amazing to watch as artists performed 40 feet in the air. The star
of the show was certainly Nineto (Nino's side kick) performed by 2 year old julien Zoppe'.
The full highlights from tent set up to tent teardown and all the fun in between are captured
in the photo highlights for a visual summary and full experience of this wonderful circus.
The Italian Village included a piazza with a fountain and flowers. The wine tent offered deli
sandwiches, wine, beer, water, sodas and cigars for sale. Wine tastings, ricotta cheese
making demo and accordion music added to the ambiance of the wine tent. Vendors offered
food and merchandise.
EVENT SUMMARY DETAILS
BUDGET:
The proposed revenue for the circus event was $96,000.00 and the actual was $57,856.35
for a deficit of$39,298.42 in revenue. The expenses were proposed at $105,376.00 with the
actual at $98,498.01 for a savings of $6.877.99 in this area. The proposed net was expected
to be a loss of$9,376.00 and the actual net on the event was a loss of$40,641.21, which is a
$32,420.43 variance from the expected. The overtime hours the city realized for staff
working on the circus totaled $6,324.00. See budget breakdown for details of each category.
ATTENDANCE:
Attendance was exceptional for a first year event. General admission totals were 3505
guests. VIP totals were 480 guests. Sponsor attendees and donated tickets added
approximately 60 more GA attendees and 30 more VIP attendees. Overall attendance was
+ J-4075, which is just over 50% of sellout. Plenty of room for growth and this number at
minimum can be expected for the second year given the positive audience responses.
VOLUNTEERS:
Volunteer sign up was minimal for circus performances (only 12-15 actually showed) but
Get Connected Events secured three interns who worked a total of 225 hours collectively to
help cover all the duties needed to produce 16 performances. Sons of Italy Lodge 2075 (one
of the in-kind sponsors) provided 30 volunteers to cover the bar hours in the wine tent.
Western Distributing provided staff to do the wine tasting. jackie Ribideau volunteered to
do the ricotta cheese demo. GCE attended every performance covering some of the
volunteer duties and also solicited friends and family to help cover some time slots. Some
city employees and Carnation Festival Co-chair Margie Seyfer and her family also helped
cover some volunteer hours. Contract labor was brought in to handle cash management.
The Carnation Festival paid for the cash management labor for the bar and the city covered
the cash management labor for the ticket box office. Contract labor came in under budget
due to the efforts of the sponsor, volunteers and interns.
ZOPPE' ITALIAN FAMILY CIRCUS FINAL REPORT (page 2)
SPONSORS:
Monetary sponsors included Bellco, Comcast, Right Coast Pizza, Caruso's Kitchen Designs,
Mucilli's Shoes, Dairy Queen, Pietra's, Hank's Auto Body and Loretta DiTirro. In-kind
(budget relieving) sponsors included Heidi's Brooklyn Deli, Sons of Italy Lodge 2075, Swiss
Cottage & Gift Shoppe, Amato's of Denver, Promenade Stables, Elliott's Gardens, Event
Fencing Solutions, Pepsi and Western Distributing. Get Connected Events secured a total of
$12,324.50 of in-kind sponsorship and sold $20,720.00 in cash sponsorship, field trips,
vendor sales and group sales. In additional, the Carnation Festival secured $2,500 cash
sponsorship from Comcast.
MARKETING I MEDIA I COLLATERAL:
The marketing budget was minimal requiring a grass roots approach be taken by Get
Connected Events to promote the circus event. See attached copies of actual pieces.
The marketing plan included:
• Handed out circus bucks at three Outlaws games at Sports Authority Field.
• Created a program with Jeffco Schools getting circus bucks distributed to 15,000+
students.
• Negotiated with Andiamo newspaper for free editorial to include a cover story and
event program to reach outside the local community.
• Negotiated discount pricing to get ads in Andiamo and Automezzi to get exposure in
the Italian community.
• Sold advertising to pay for the cost of the circus bucks and ticket printing.
• Numerous articles in local newspapers including discount coupons. Partners
include Wheat Ridge Transcript, Arvada Press, Wheat Ridge Connections and the
Neighborhood Gazette.
• Attended numerous networking functions to promote the circus.
• Attended numerous other events and festivals to gorilla market the circus.
• 100 Circus posters were distributed locally with Carnation Festival posters to
promote performance times.
• Overall, nearly 60,000 circus bucks were distributed and they were redeemed in
high numbers.
• Webpage and Facebook page was created for the Zoppe' Circus in Colorado.
• Zoppe' Circus and the Carnation Festival was featured on the GCE website.
• The Carnation Festival did a great job of featuring the circus on their website.
IN CONCLUSION:
The Zoppe' Family Circus was well received by the community and visitors proving to be a
positive addition to the Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival. With some minimal adjustments to
the marketing and logistics plans, I am confident the event can grow in the next two years to
a profitable self-funded attraction. Thank you for the opportunity to produce the Zoppe'
Circus event in Wheat Ridge. Every city contact I worked with was professional, helpful and
very supportive of the circus and its success. Very refreshing and much appreciated!

Overtime labor costs of city employees working on the circus totaled $6,324.00
The in-kind donations had actual budget-relieving value (i.e . we sold the deli sandwiches, we didn't pay for hay,
we didn't pay bartender labor, we didn't purchase any decor such as the flowers or fountain, etc)

Old-Fashioned European Circus
Joins Carnation Festival
The traditional Zoppe' Italian F~
Circus is coming to the Wheat Ridge

history dating back to the 19th century. In
addition to the circus, this year's festival will
feature an Italian Village replete with wine
tasting, authentic food, crafts and wares by
Italian vendors. Many Italian organizations
will share their culture's language, travel and
games as well.
Early risers can watch Zoppes staff raise
its 63-foot tall tent on Friday morning, Aug.
17, in Anderson Park, located at 4355 FJ.dd St.;

feet from the performance ring.
The Carnation Festival and Italian Village
open that afternoon at 4:00 p.m., followed by
fireworks at 9:15 p.m., and closing at 11:00
p.m.
The festival kicks into high gear Saturday

According to Zoppe' Circus, its heritage
goes back to 1842, when young Frencli street
performer Napoleone Zoppe'wandered into a
plaza in Budapest, Hungary, looking for work,
and saw equestrian ballerina Ermengilda,
wowing the crowd (and Napoleone) with her
graCe and showmanship.
However, since Napoleone was a clown,
Ermengilda's father saw him as beneath her
and disapproved of their relationship. The two
ran away to Venice, Italy, and founded the
circus that still bears their name.
Alberto Zoppe•, Napoleone's great-
grandson, inherited the circus almost 100 years
later. A grand equestrian in his own right,
Alberto toured Europe with the circus since
his youth, forging many friendships, including
one with actor/director Orson Welles.
Welles persuaded Alberto to take a role
in a small film, which led to a role ifl Cecil B.
De Mille's "The Greatest Show on Earth," as
well as a job p~ucing circuses for Ringling
Brothers.
Alberto, along with his wife Sandra, their
children, Giovanni, Tosca ~ Carla, and
their spouses have all been active at one time
or another in the family business.
Circus tickets go on sale on June 1. For

you're sitting on wood bleachers and
you're not more than :10 feet from the
ring. It's like you're stepping back Ill .

EVENT OVERVIEW
The first year of the Zoppe' Italian Family Circus event in Wheat Ridge, Colorado
was successful in accomplishing these goals:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Addition of a high quality main attraction to the Carnation Festival line-up
helping to bring the festival to the next level
Provided a reasonably priced entertainment option for Wheat Ridge families
Created a partnership with jeffco Schools allowing students the opportunity
to attend a special field trip performance to learn about circus arts
Provided local businesses the opportunity to gain exposure through the
event
Promoted the City of Wheat Ridge as an entertainment destination
The event generated revenues to cover nearly 60% of the event expenses
Overall response from attendees was excellent and very positive
SUGGESTIONS FOR 2013
With the first year data we can now make assumptions based on the current info
and have a more realistic budget. Based on my experience I would like to offer
suggestions on how to get the circus event profitable and self-funded within the
next two years. Following are the suggestions to consider for 2013:
• Re-locate the circus to the grassy area at the front of the park to get exposure
from 44111 Ave (This will not only help sell more tickets but it will save the
soccer field from turf damages and loss of use)
• Book the circus early so we can get the Friday night performance included in
the schedule (Booking before New York means they work around us instead
of us working around them as we did this year)
• Add $5,000 more to increase the marketing efforts and signage (increasing in
this area should help reach the goal of 20% increase in ticket sales)
• Downsize the Italian Village to make it more intimate and vendor-friendly or
possibly delete the Village completely and only have the circus
• Allow Carnation Festival to determine how they would like to handle the
alcohol/beverage portion of the event
• Fine tune the ticket selling process to increase onlinejoutlet pre-sales
• Work on sponsorship sales now (SO% of all sponsorship dollars spent on
following year's events is determined before December 3Pt)
• Work on increasing the jeffco Schools field trips to 4 performances
In conclusion, Get Connected Events would propose the City of Wheat Ridge
consider contracting the Zoppe' Circus with GCE serving as the circus producer for
both 2013 and 2014 allowing the event to reach its full potential.

This budget DOES NOT INCLUDE any of the Italian Village elements. If the Carnation Festival would choose to serve alcohol inside the circus tent,
they would incur all the expenses to do so and receive all alcohol revenue. Only beer and wine would be sold (no water or sodas)
Marketing budget is increased by $5000, expenses decreased without village
City OT can be decreased by hiring set-up and tear-down crews at a lesser rate of pay, police patrols would still be necessary but overnight wouldn't be needed
2013 revenue is assuming a 20% increase over 2012 actuals, some expenses would increase slightly
2014 revenue is assuming a 30% increase over 2013 projections, some expenses would increase slightly
2015 is a more realistic year to see sellout performances and the circus actually becoming profitable
All of these projections assume ticket costs stay the same and most are sold at $10

ISSUE:
The existing restroom located at the Youngfield Trailhead, 4150 Youngfield St., functions as a
self-composting system. This project would serve to convert this existing system to a sanitary
sewer/conventional flush type toilet system . The project would provide a turnkey renovated
building which would meet all Title II ADA 2010 standards for state and local government
facilities.
The renovation will include demolition and removal of the existing plumbing, and sewer
composting system, and the installation of a new plumbing and flush toilet system, sanitary
sewer and sewer pump system, electrical and heating system and upgrades, a concrete
foundation, and renovation of existing concrete flatwork.
PRIOR ACTION:
This project was approved in the adoption ofthe 2012 budget.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A Request for Qualifications was solicited from professional design/build firms for renovation
design and construction of the existing restroom located at the Youngfield Trailhead. On June
12, 2012, two responsive submittals were received. The selection committee evaluated and
Council Action Form
October 8, 2012
Page 2
ranked the qualifications. Based on project team experience, finn capabilities, past experience,
approach and pricing, White Construction Group of Castle Rock, CO was the number one ranked
finn. Pricing was negotiated.
The cost of the Y oungfield restroom renovation project is $134,449 to be charged to the
Conservation Trust Fund account 54-601-800-877. The cost is inclusive of all labor, materials,
and equipment needed for design, surveying, tie-ins, storm water compliance, and construction.
BACKGROUND:
The existing restroom was built in spring of 1994 and contained a self-composting facility made
by Clivus Multrum, Inc. Included in the construction were a men's and women's restroom and a
drinking fountain.
The Y oungfield restroom consists of masonry construction and a laminated wood deck roof
construction. A metal roof system was added due to damage from the July 2009 stonn. The
Clivus Multrum composter was installed in the basement and consists of the large tank with
bulking agent, two liquid storage tanks, a liquid pump system, graywater system, ventilation
system, and fire suppression system. The restroom is open and operates on a year-round basis
due to its location adjacent to the Clear Creek Trail.
The system has a maintenance schedule based on usage, and, under nonnal operating procedures,
needs to be followed closely for successful operation of the com poster. The system has been
well-maintained since it was constructed; however, usage has increased and the system now
requires daily maintenance.
During initial construction, a wood-framed wall was constructed as part of the basement wall for
removal of the existing com poster if needed. This wall is in need of repair and will be
reconstructed as part of the renovation project.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the renovation of the Youngfield restroom and conversion of the existing self-
com posting system to a sanitary sewer/conventional flush type toilet system.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to award RFQ-12-19 Youngfield Restroom Renovation Design/Build Contract to White
Construction Group in the amount of$134,449 and approve a contingency amount of$13,445."
Or,
"I move to deny award of RFQ-12-19 Y oungfield Restroom Renovation Design/Build Contract
to White Construction Group in the amount of $134,449 and the approval of a contingency
amount of $13,445 for the following reason(s) "

Oct. 15th Study Session: Draft 2012 Citizen Survey Results Presentation
Enclosed with your packet is a copy of the Draft 2012 Citizen Survey. Laurie Urban and
Shannon Hayden from National Research Center (NRC) will be presenting the draft survey
results to City Council at the October 15th Study Session. The purpose of this presentation is to
highlight data from both the "Draft 2012 Citizen Survey Results" and the "Benchmark Report."
The Wheat Ridge Citizen Survey is a bi-annual Citizen Survey serving as our "consumer report
card" and is a good information tool for the City to measure our performance. The survey
encompasses best practices and is a scientifically/statistically valid sampling of 3,000 households
in the City.
The last Citizen Survey was administered in July 2008 and was then cut from the budget in 2010
due to the recession . In reviewing the draft report you will find the Executive Summary on page
I and the policy topics on page 47 . Council approved the addition of these policy topics prior to
distributing the survey.
Following this presentation, the Citizen Survey results will be finalized and posted on the City
Website. Additionally, we will provide infonnation to the community in the Connections
Newsletter in either December or the spring edition of 2013.
If you have any questions prior to the Study Session , please do not hesitate to contact me at
303-235-2826 .
