Director of Pub ic arks . Ci~~ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Wheat Ridge C& of Laws does not currently address all new proposed accesses to City streets. The attached proposed ordinance provides for regulatlon of access to City streets when a proposed access is not controlled by existing requirements in Chapter 26 of the Code of Laws. The ordinance also exempts single-family residences, as well as alterations and additions to existing commercially used structures that will stimulate minor traffic impacts. COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION: N/A ST A TEMENT OF THE ISSUES: A review of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws revealed that, while there is dIrection concerning the construction of street accesses, there may be instances in which there are no requirements for new street accesses. The proposed ordinance should provide a mechanism to regulate those requests for street access not currently regulated by the Code of Laws. As directed by City Council, the ordinance exempts additional regulation of single-family homes and additions or alterations to commercial property that do not increase projected traffic volumes by 20% of the current traffic into the property. AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED: None. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Staff will administer an additional permit system. The financial impact should be minimal, as thcre will be few requests for new street acccsses. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve Council Bill! 0-2004 on second reading, and that it take effect 15 days after final publication. " Or, "I move to indefinitely table Council Bill 10-2004 for the following reason(s): " Report Prepared by: Tim Paranto, Director of Public Works Reviewed by: Randy Young, City Manager Attachments: 1.

June 7,2004 RE: Proposed Charter Amendment: Odd-Year Election Date I attach a May 11, 2004 memorandum from Geoff Wilson, General Counsel for the Colorado Municipal League. The memo identifies a discrepancy between the TABOR Amendment (Colo Const.Art X Sec. 20), regarding the required date for TABOR election (first Tuesday in November in odd-numbered years) as compared to various municipal home rule Charters, including the Wheat Ridge Charter, at S 2.2 (first Tuesday after the first Monday) In 2005 and 2011, the TABOR date and the Charter date are one week apart. Because Jefferson County will run the county-coordinated election on the TABOR date, Wheat Ridge would have to run its separate municipal election one week later, in compliance with Sec. 2.2 of the Charter To do this will involve extra expense, voter confusion, and, likely, a much smaller voter turnout, assuming the City could even obtain voting machines from the County so soon after the TABOR election. I recommend that Council direct me to prepare and bring forward a charter amendment, changing the regular municipal election date to the first Tuesday in November in odd-numbered years The ballot question would make clear that the amendment is to schedule the City election to coincide with the coordinated election conducted by the County The question would be voted on at the November 2004 general election.

An Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Wheat Ridge and the City and County of Denver was approved by City Council on March 22, 2004 for the Denver Area Urban Area Secunty Imtiative. Authonzation for the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the IGA was also approved on March 22,2004 A Resolution is an admmlstratlve record reqUirement for approval of the IGA. As the Council is aware, the CIty of Wheat RIdge has been very active in the development of the Urban Area Secunty Initiative (UASl) SInce late summer of 2003. The 2003 and 2004 grant budgets have been approved, and funding IS begmning to occur. The City of Wheat RIdge has been approved to receive a SignIficant portIOn ofthe 2003 Grant A ward to be used to replace the current emergency radio system used by the police and Wheat Ridge Fire Department. That replacement program is underway at this time. A fimsh date is not known at thIS time. The total award IS approxImately $1.5 mIlhon dollars for the commumcations replacement process in Wheat Ridge The IGA, as approved on March 22, 2004, provides m part for the following: A. Allows for the Denver Urban Area to procure fundmg and assistance for developing enhanced preparedness, mItigatIOn, response and recovery to/from terrorist related actIvIty and attacks that use or threaten thp use of chemical, bIOlogical, radIOlOgical nuclear and explOSIve deVices. B. Establishes a mechanism and structure for the Denver Urban Area to meet the federal reqmrements necessary to develop plans, prionties, and budgets related to grant fund mg. C. Defines the "urban area" for purposes of the grant. D. Defines the roles and responsibllitles of participants including the level of partiCIpation by each entity. E. Sets the term ofthe agreement commencing on January 1, 2004 and termmatmg on December 31,2008. COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION: None. ST A TEMENT OF THE ISSUES: As explaIned in the March 22, 2004 Council Action Form, there are a few issues to be considered. Overall participatIOn in this program is pOSItive and beneficial. However, the time commItment on the part of representatives to UASI can be considerable and demanding. The City is committed to a four year program, that could evolve into a program beyond the grant cycles for contmued and future cooperative effort. AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED: None. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The finanical Impact IS generally positIve. Some "in-kind" service costs are being absorbed by the City, but most direct costs for thIS program are covered by the grant Itself. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve ResolutIOn 16-2004 AuthonzIng an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Between the City of Wheat Ridge and the City and County of Denver for the Urban Area Secunty Initiative (UASI)." or, "I move to table mdefimtely Resolution 16-2004 for the following reason(s)_ " Report Prepared by: Jack Hurst Attachments: 1.

Fax # 234-5924 Police Dept. Fax # 235-2949 June 16,2004 Ms. Agnes Fryer 464 S. Holland Court Lakewood, Colorado 80226-2812 Dear Ms_ Fryer; On May 24th you attended the Wheat Ridge City Council meeting to voice your concerns over ..J enforcement of the City's sign code, specifically enforcement of the off premises sign provision. You provided to Council a letter citing several sections of the code which you beheved would offer you the opportunity for an off premises sign. This letter is written in response to your letter. While we appreciate the situation you have in attempting to rent your apartments on Holland _--- -' Street, adding a section to the code to permit off premises signs IS not favored by a majority of Council at this time, nor is staff supportive of such a change. Section 26-709 C 1 and 2 do indeed allow signs in residential zone districts. This provision allows the owner of an apartment building, for example, to put up a sign with the name of the apartment building on it. This section does not contain a provision that allows these signs on property other than that on which the building is situated. This section does not supersede the prohibition of off premises signs contaIned in Section 26-707 D. Section 26-709 K contains regulations for semipublic signs. A semipublic sign is defined as "a sign giving information as to church, educational institutions or service club locations." A sign advertising units for rent at your apartment building does not qualify as a semipublic sign. The entirety of thiS section does not apply to your situation. Lastly, Section 26-71 () sets out the requirements for a master sign plan. A master sign plan is authOrIzed for planned developments or for business centers or office complexes with multiple bUildIngs or uses. The intent IS to create a unified and integrated sign system for the center or complex and is not intended for single buildings. This section does not apply to your apartment building. _' \ The CIty's sign code is not unique In prohibiting off premises signs; many other cities do not ~ allow them. The City has established this regulation in an effort to reduce the potential visual clutter created by signs located on every corner. Locating off premises signs only with V RECYCLED PAPER Ms. Agnes Fryer June 16, 2004 Page 2 - landowner permission does not provide enough of a safeguard to prevent off premises signs from getting out of hand. - The current sign code does not contain any provisions allowing an off premises sign in your situation, nor are there likely to be any amendments proposed to allow such signs. Sincerely, ~ City Manager cc: Mayor City Council Jerry Dahl, City Attorney City of Wheat Ridge Economic Development Memorandum TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Debbie Meixner for Barbara Delgadillo DATE: June 23, 2004 SUBJECT: City Council's Partnership Award Please mark your calendar for the Business Appreciation Lunch, which will be held on Friday, August 6, 2004 from 11 :30 a.m. to 1 :30 p.m. in the Community Rooms at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center.

For more information about ADP/SIS, please visit our web site at www sis.adp.com. With more than $7 billion in annual revenues and 500,000 clients, ADP is one of the largest independent computing services firms in the world. For more information about ADP Brokerage Services Group, please visit our web site at www.bsg.adp.com and for other ADP services and investor information, please visit www.adp.com ADP/SIS has been at the current address-4725 Independence Street in Wheat Ridge-since 1987 after starting operations in Evergreen in 1981. The company currently employs about 150 people in product and software development, operations, client services, sales and marketing and administrative staff. We would like to be considered for the following business award City Council Partnership Award ADP/SIS has given back to the community in many ways. Pennington Elementary School In 2001, a reading program was started with our neighborhood school, pennington Elementary ADP/SIS employees visit classrooms twice a week during lunch hours to volunteer with reading, writing or math tutorial sessions in grades K - 6 To date, employees have contributed over 1,800 hours of time to this effort Our company has also sponsored an essay contest at the school for three consecutive years. In 2004, sixty 5th and 6th graders submitted essays on the topic \"What are Your Goals for Success?" Gift certificates in various amounts from Walden Books & More were given to the top essay winners in the classes that participated. These efforts have made a solid impact on students attending the school. In the spring of 2004 their standardized test reading scores went up. We believe that student scores have increased on standardized tests, in part because of the reading program and students' motivation to do well with outside volunteers. In a speech given by Colorado Congressman Bob Beauprez on 11/21/2003, the Pennington Elementary School was cLnmended for their academic progress and changes that are fostering excellence among staff and students. ADP/SIS has also donated retired PCs from the company, office supplies and books, large 1 white boards, and holds a school supplies drive in August. ADP/SIS has applied for a grant from the Jared pollis Foundation for 60 desktop PCs to be given to individual students this coming fall. Students must apply for a PC and will earn the PC after completing a training session on use The training is being provided by White Ridge High School students and will be coordinated by staff from ADP/SIS. Students and faculty alike have enthusiastically received the support and partnering from our company, and our associates enjoy making these contributions. United Way Drive Employees participate in the ADP United Way Campaign that runs each fall Last year payroll donations for the Wheat Ridge offices totaled $8,301.00. The United Way organization brings together health and social service agencies, government, business, schools and other leaders to help with such issues as homelessness, childcare, strengthening families and increasing independence for our elderly neighbors. Blood Drives Every four months, Bonfils Bloodmobile is on site to take and receive blood donations from employees About 30 - 40 pints of blood are usually donated at each session. Recently, ADP/SIS extended the program to neighboring businesses who supported the event by allowing their employees to take time from their workday and make this important contribution. ADP/SIS has partnered with Bonfils for more than five years, with more frequent activity in the past four years Bright Beginnings Golf Tournament This will be the eighth year that ADP/SIS has served as the major tournament sponsor for this agency's annual fund raising event. To date, over a half million dollars has been raised. Bright Beginnings is a local agency that promotes the healthy development of Colorado children during the critical first three years of life. Over 10,000 newborns in the state are served, and many services are offered to families and children beyond the age of three. Starlight Children's Foundation ADP/SIS employees have donated their time to complete wiring for this agency's computer systems and telephone systems. Various communication equipment and software has also been donated to the agency. The Starlight Children's Foundation is a~ international non-profit organization that provides services for seriously ill children and their families. Working through more than 1,000 hospitals, they provide both in-hospital and outpatient programs and services.
