CITIZENS' RIGHT TO SPEAK
-
Ron Benson, President of the Wheat Ridge Optimist Club, spoke to the Council and
read a letter that he wrote to the Wheat Ridge Transcript about a service program over
the holidays He praised the Wheat Ridge football players and cheerleaders for their
volunteerism He thanked several vendors and the Colorado Sheriffs Program for their
contributions. The organization raised over $5,000.00 in cash and were able to help 61
families and 188 children.
Chuck Mandril, welcomed the new Council members; apologized for the anger directed
at the old Councilmembers and the Mayor; he understands now that they have no say in
what Urban Renewal does He applauded Jerry DiTullio for changing his view on what
is going on with the 38th Avenue Development Plan. After listening to his constituents,
he changed his vote and went along with the people. He hoped that Councilmembers
that voted against the 300 people that spoke, will change their minds this term. He
pointed out an article in the Denver Post regarding what the plans are for the upcoming
legislative session in reflection of what is going on in States and Municipalities in taking
land away from people and crushing their hopes and dreams and the hard work they put
in There are 3 businesses there, that have been there at least 30 years. They are
going to take away his property and not give him enough money to build a new building,
let alone buy land. Of the 5 property owners being moved, none of them are happy with
the offers that they have received. He has a letter from Joe Drew, who was past
Chairman of Urban Renewal, when they did the Safeway Project.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES' January 12, 2004
Page -2-
He will mail this to all of them, so they can see what Joe has to say. He is very
displeased with what is going on in Urban Renewal. He read a letter that State
Representative Cheri Jahn has written about her opposition to the abuses committed by
Urban Renewal against small business owners. She believes in Urban Renewal when it
is used in fairness There are plenty of choices of using this Authority in Wheat Ridge
without wiping out people's dreams. We have some perfect locations to do Urban
Renewal, such as the old Time Square area, the Putt-Putt area and North of Time
Square by the Stage Stop Center.

seconded by Mrs Rotola; carried 8-0

the City of Wheat Ridge will occur during our regular meeting on Monday, January 26,2004.

NOMINEE:
NOMINATOR:
SCHOOL:
Gabe Baca
Rob Longbrake
Wheat Ridge Middle School
As an 8th grader, Gabe has suffered through an immense amount of adversity; however, he
consistently makes good decisions that help him prepare for the future. Gabe has never met his
biological father and grew up in a home where he protected his mother from a stepfather who
abused her. Gabe jumped from toddler into adulthood without knowing what a normal
childhood was. Because of his environment, Gabe was an angry elementary school student,
which caused his academics to suffer and was involved in many fights and ultimately led to Gabe
residing in a mental health facility for two years. From that point forward, Gabe vowed to
change his life and focus on what would make him happy. Gabe is a peer mediator at Wheat
Ridge Middle school and during mediation training it became evident that he has a gift for peer
mediation. Gabe would like to attend Warren Tech's automotive school for part of his high
school career. Gabe continues to help his mother and others, as he likes to help make other
people feel good because he understands what it feels like to truly feel bad.
NOMINEE:
NOMINATOR:
SCHOOL:
Jon Bertheaud
Allison MacDonald
Everitt Middle School
Jon is a 13-year-old boy who suffers from neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder ofthe nervous
system that primarily affects the development and growth of nerve cell tissues. Jon also suffers
from epileptic seizures that can be triggered by bright lights or unexpected visual stimulation.
Even though Jon faces many challenges on a daily basis, he is channing, personable, and funny
Metro Mayors and Commissioners Youth Awards
January 20, 2004
Page 2
and his insight about situations and people can only be described as clever because however
humorous, there is always a strong degree of verity in whatever he says. The amount of cheer he
spreads around Everitt through his smiles and laughter has become an immeasurable gift
everyone at the school looks forward to receiving everyday.
NOMINEE:
NOMINATOR:
SCHOOL:
Juana Palomares
Allison MacDonald
Everitt Middle School
Juana is an 8th grader at Everitt Middle School who came to the United States from Chihuahua,
Mexico in 2000 and was unable to speak any English. With hard work and determination, Juana
mastered a second language in a matter of months. The transition into the American Culture and
the challenge oflearning a second language was especially difficult as no one else in Juana's 6-
person household was learning English. Juana's classroom performance has been outstanding
and Juana clearly sees the relationship between being educated and having more opportunities in
life, she knows knowledge is the key. Juana serves on the Everitt Middle School Steering
Committee and is also an active member of Everitt's peer mediation group. Outside of school,
Juana is a member of Faith Bible's Youth Group. Juana is a smart, kind young lady who looks at
challenges as opportunities and opportunities as blessings.
NOMINEE:
NOMINATOR:
SCHOOL:
Savanna Salmen
Judy Hindman
Wheat Ridge High School
Savanna is a semor at Wheat Ridge High School and has had many challenges to overcome in
her 17 years of life. She has spent much of her life helping her family and supporting others.
Savanna lives with her mother and disabled dad. Savanna's father is completely sightless in one
eye and almost blind in the other. During elementary school, Savanna worried as her dad needed
a kidney transplant and struggled with diabetes. In 2002 and 2003, Savanna watched as her
father suffered from a number of strokes. Because of her concern for her father, Savanna sought
employment with his Kidney Specialist so she could learn how to assist him with his insulin
pump and pills. Savanna's father loves learning and has been an example to Savanna as he
delves into computers and business classes at Red Rocks. Savanna has had a 4.0 GP A in four
out of six semesters at Wheat Ridge High School. She currently has a 3.7 GP A and has
submitted college applications. Savanna is a 4.0 student, but perhaps even more important she is
a person of "A" character. What more could we ask in our community than to have a young
person who daily demonstrates family loyalty, seeks to better herself by being diligent in her
education and hopes to serve all of us by selecting a career in medicine.
These young men and women are role models to everyone in our community because of their
determination and positive outlook on life. I am very honored to have the opportunity to become
aware of and acknowledge their inner beauty and true strength of character.

1/26/04
On Oct. 28th, 2003 the Wheat Ridge City Council passed a
motion for the approval of a special use permit to allow a drive
through for the proposed Walgreens at 38th Ave and Sheridan Blvd.
by a vote of 5 to 3 However, in so doing, they violated the Wheat
Ridge municipal code Sec 26-114 C 1 and 2. Under Section C.
entitled Application form and review procedures, item 1 states"
Special use applications shall be originated only by the prospective
owner of the proposed special use, with written approval of the fee
owner of the property In cases where the owner of the property is
different than the owner of the proposed special use." The owners of
the property,did not give theIr written approval
Item 2 states "Application shall be submitted on forms provided
by the community development department and shall be
accompanied by a copy of the property deed, a certified survey and
the appropriate fee" Again there is no property deed since it does
not eXist yet.
A special use can not be approved before the legal
requirements for the application exist. The motion for this special
use permit needs to be rescinded so that you are not in violation of
the Wheat Ridge Municipal Code If this matter@liJ is not resolved
here, it will be settled in court.
The motion approving the consolidation plat for the same
properties has the same problem and should also be revoked

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Paramount weight training circuit equipment that is currently in use at the Recreation Center was
- originally purchased in 1994 and was used at the Anderson Building until 2000. When the Recreation
Center opened, the Paramount equipment was reupholstered and transferred for use at the Recreation
Center. The Recreation Division has developed an equipment replacement schedule, which identifies
the lifespan of equipment and the designated replacement year. The Paramount equipment is
scheduled for replacement in 2004. On January 6, 2004, three (3) bids were received for fitness
equipment. All bids met the initial bid requirements. Paramount Fitness, CA was the apparent low
bidder in the total amount of $44,344.00, with the trade allowance for the old equipment.
COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The current equipment has received extensive use and is also now outdated. The technology and
design of the equipment has changed. Many of the pieces currently in use at the Center are now
available in an up-graded version. Keeping equipment updated is important to continue to keep and
attract new users, as well as offer a quality program. The Recreation Center continually strives to
provide quality, well-maintained and up-to-date equipment to remain competitive in the health and
fitness arena. In the 2004 budget these items are appropriated in the Fitness budget under Major
Equipment. Currently there are 19 existing Paramount fitness machines. Two of these machines will
be retained (purchased in 2000). Fourteen will be replaced with the newer version of the same
machine, and three will be machines not currently being used at the center.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not replace the equipment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This is a budgeted item in the Recreation Center Facility Budget, 64-605-800-809 in the amount of
$45,000. Because the equipment will be new and under warranty, the purchase of the equipment will
reduce the labor costs and the funds spent on the maintenance of the existing equipment. The
purchase of new equipment will support the goal of retaining current participants and attracting new
ones, which sustains revenues.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"1 move to approve the purchase ofthe Paramount Fitness Equipment in the amount of$44,344.00 to
be charged to account 64-605-800-809."
or,
"I move to deny the purchase of the Paramount Fitness Equipment in the amount of$44,344.00 for the
following reasons "

The Cultural Commission approved the applicatIon for the above grant. (See Attachment 2)

project.

the grant by the Parks and Recreation Director at approximately 40 hours. Budget expenditures will
be approximately $1,000 to be paid as a stipend to three artists to prepare for an interview to present
their work for consideration by the Arts Selection Committee.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to adopt Resolution No. 03-2004, amending the fiscal year 2004 Budget to reflect acceptance
ofthe Scientific and Cultural Facilities District grant for a public art project in the amount of$7,800 to

Minutes - February 6, 2003
ITEM 6 - ELIGIBILITY APPLICATION, SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL
FACILITIES DISTRICT (SCFD) - Mr. Wodell spoke to the Commission regardmg
the SCIentific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). Mr. Wodell explained the SCFD
is a 7 County DIStriCt. IflOth of 1% of sales tax is designated specifically to fund the
cultural community.
The cultural community encompasses visual arts, scientific projects, historical projects,
and botanical projects. 59% of this fund is designated for "Tier One" organizations.
These organizations include the Botanic Gardens, the Denver Art Museum, the Museum
of Nature and Science, and the Denver Zoo. "Tier Two" organizations include the
Butterfly Pavilion, the Arvada Center, Lakewood Heritage Culture and the Arts, and the
Colorado Mountain Club. Tier Two organizations receive 28% of the funding. "Tier
Three" organizations receive 13% of the funding. Tiers One and Two funding is
designated at the regional level. Tier Three funding is designated at the county level.
Tier Three monies are designated to be distributed at the discretion of the County
Commissioner based on suggestions received from county cultural commissions.
Municipalities are automatically eligible to participate in applying for grants for Tier III
projects. The current application must be submitted by February 26, 2003 to be
considered by SCFD. If the grant application is funded, the funds would be distributed
in October, 2003 for use in 2004.
-
The Jeffco Cultural Commission may tend to favor grantmg when they see commitment
for the work in place, such as project planning. Also, having some source of matching
funds for the potential projects can enhance the chances of being awarded a SCFD grant.
ITEM 7 - POSSIBLE PROJECTS - SCULPTURE OR MURAL FOR THE
RECREATION CENTER The Commission was previously sent a letter asking
them to bring forward, any ideas they may have for projects to apply for the SCFD
Grants. Some ideas included a Cultural Center, a documented oral history of the City of
Wheat Ridge, a monument for Creekside Park and park performances within Wheat
Ridge.
Whatever the Commission decides upon does not necessarily need to be a public art
piece. It could be items such as choir presentations, theater in the park, or a multi cultural
festival.
Joyce Manwaring presented the Commission WIth two indoor projects for the
Commission to consider. One project is a sculpture, possibly a climber to be erected
close to the climbing wall. The second project would be a mural painted on the curved
wall along the running track. The Arts Council of Wheat Ridge held a fund raiser for
public art to be located at the recreation center. These funds have not been used and may
be considered as matching funds for the grant application to SCFD.

Wheat Ridge Cultural Commission
Minutes - February 6, 2003
There are also two possible outside projects. Founders Parks at 37th Avenue and Jay
Street is a new park; the name represents the pioneers of Wheat Ridge. There is
another park close to Founders Park that contains typical playground equipment.
Founders Park is an open space type park that includes natural grasses and wallang trails.
The playground area at Founders Park could include different types of natural looking
play structures, such as climbing rocks. There are funds available in the park playground
budget to use as matching funds with the SCFD grant.
The second outside project would be to install a monument at Creekside Park located at
49th A venue and Marshall Street. The park abuts Clear Creek and, at one time, was the
location of a ferry crossing. A monument could be erected recognizing the ferry
crossmg.
Mr. Gehauf informed the Commission of another project to be considered. The Folk Arts
Council is performing concerts at parks this summer. SCFD grant funds could be used to
bring these performances to Wheat Ridge.
Consensus of the Commission was to direct Joyce Manwaring to apply for SCFD grants
for the following projects:
1) Recreation Center Mural
2) Playground Art at Founders Park
ITEM 8 - COMMISSION COMMENTS

The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) was approved by the Colorado State Legislature
and endorsed by voters in regional elections in 19~8 and 1994 The SCFD provides funding from a
one-tenth of one percent sales tax in the seven-county Denver Metro area. This funding was provided
to more than 300 small and large metropolitan arts and science organizations with mmimal regulation
and overhead. In 2003, the SCFD granted the City of Wheat Ridge funds to install a mural at the
Wheat Ridge Recreation Center The SCFD must be reauthorized by voters on or before 2006, and
voters will be asked to extend, not increase, the tax for an additional 12 years. This is a resolution to
support the reauthorization of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) and to urge
legIslative and voter support for renewal of the District.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
Mr. Geoffrey Wodell, Chairman of the Wheat Ridge Cultural Commission, encloses a letter
recommending a resolution of support for the reauthorization ofthe Scientific and Cultural Facilities
District (SCFD).

The SCFD provides for a one-tenth of one percent tax to fund more than 300 large and small arts and
science organizations in the greater metro area. More than 9 million people attended the facilities
supported by SCFD funding in 2001, including 2 million school children annually. The region's
cultural organizations and facilities generate more than $1 billion a year in economic impact and
provide more than 7,000 jobs.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
To not adopt a resolution supporting the reauthorization of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities
District (SCFD).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no direct financial impact assocIated with the adoptIOn of the resolution supporting the
reauthorization of the SCFD However, more funding could be provided by the SCFD to the City
through the Wheat Ridge Cultural Commission in the future. This legislation directly affects citizens
through a 1/1 Olh of a cent sales tax.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to adopt Resolution No 02-2004 to support the reauthorization of the Scientific and Cultural
Facilities District and to urge legislative and voter support for renewal of the District and the
continued benefits the SCFD provides."
Or,
"I move to deny the adoption of ResolutIOn 02-2004 to support the reauthorization of the Scientific
and Cultural Facilities District and to urge legislative and voter support for renewal of the District and
the continued benefits the SCFD provides because "

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
-
The Public Works Department completed the interview and selection process to retain an engineering
consultant to design the 46th A venue-I-70, Estes-Carr Major Street Improvement Project. Firms were
selected from the list of qualified annual agreements. This Project will reconstruct the exisiting streets
in the area. The neighborhood continues to experience very poor drainage, which has resulted in
distorted curblines and failed pavement sections. A fully engineered project is essential to design
proper drainage within the area, and properly reconstruct the failing street sections to facilitate the new
drainage system. This is a three-phase (3-year) project consisting of installation of storm sewer and
reconstruction of the street sections. Engineering drawings for all three (3) phases shall be begin in
2004 with Phase 1 being constructed in 2004. The remaining phases will be constructed in 2005 and
2006, respectively. On Decemeber 18,2003, interviews were conducted with four of the on-call
consulting firms. The number one ranked firm was Sear Brown, Golden. Selection was based on
qualifications, experience, project approach, innovative ideas and the project team. Fees were
negotiated. Staff recommends design award of the project to Sear Brown, in the amount of
$218,243.00. Approval of a $20, 000 auxillary amount for any additional related design services is
also requested.
COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:

specifications for the project. The design work will include the design of the entire project, which is
planned for construction over the next three years.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
No award and 46th Avenue-I-70, Estes-Carr Major Street Improvement Projects will not be
accomplished.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for this program has been approved as the 46th Avenue-I-70, Estes-Carr Major Street
Improvement line item of the 2004 Capital Improvement Program budget in the amount of
$650,000.00. This budget includes a complete design of all three (3) phases and construction of the

Project, #S-02-04 to Sear Brown, Golden, CO in the amount of $218,243.00.
I further move that an auxillay amount of $20,000.00 be established to accomodate any additional
design service beyond the specified portion.
I further move that all costs associated with this contract be paid from account number 30-303-800-
