EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Currently, the municipal annexation act, 31-12-101, ct. seq.. governs the procedure and requirements
for annexation of territory to municipalities. The statute provides that once an annexation petition that
has been submitted by property owners is resolved to be found in compliance by City Council, the
Council must set a public hearing which must take place not sooner than 30 day nor greater than 60
days following the adoption of the resolution. Council Bill 20-2004 will provide that Council shall take
one of three actions upon receipt of an annexation petition: (1) find the petition is in compliance with
the statute and set a public hearing, (2) table the petition for not more than six months, or (3) reject the
petition.
COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The current procedures and requirements for annexation cause some practical timing difficulties
because most annexations are also accompanied by an application for approval of a zoning plan and
review of the zoning plan and ordinance. Often the approval and review takes longer than 60 days,
therefore the required annexation public hearing is held before the zoning ordinance is ready for
consideration. In these cases, City Council is required to publish notice and hold the public hearing only
to immediately continue the hearing. This causes confusion and fiustration for the public who attend
the annexation hearing to be notified to return for public comment at a later date.
The ordinance addresses tills by allowing the Council the additional option of tabling an annexation
petition while the parallel zoning application is moving forward. This will enable both the zorung
ordinance and the annexation ordinance to be considered at the same public hearing.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not adopt the ordinance; this will require the practice of contInuing the annexation hearing from
time to time while the zoning application is processed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill 20-2004, An Ordinance Concerning Annexation Petitions, on second
reading, and that it take effect upon adoption at second reading."

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor & Council
FROM:
Gerald E Dahl, City Attorney
DATE:
October 12, 2004
RE:
Ordinance concerning annexation petitions
This ordinance addresses a specific timing problem created by the annexation
statutes The municipal annexation act, 31-12-101, et seq, generally governs the
procedure and requirements for annexation of territory to municipalities in Colorado
The statute requires that owners of property wishing to annex to the City must submit a
petition which is referred directly to the City Council for action The statute goes on to
provide that upon receipt of the petition, the Council may determine that it appears to be
in substantial compliance with the law and set a public hearing, or find the petition not in
compliance with the law and reject it. If the Council takes the second option, the petition
is not further considered and the matter is at an end
The timing problem arises because the statute provides that, as a part of any
resolution finding substantial compliance, the Council must also set a public hearing
which must take place no sooner than 30 days nor greater than 60 days following the
date of adoption of that resolution In practice this causes difficulty because most
annexations are also accompanied by an application for approval of a zoning plan for
the property, and review of the zoning plan (and accompanying zoning ordinance) takes
longer than 60 days This means that often the required annexation public hearing is
held before the zoning ordiance is ready for consideration at second reading public
hearing This places the Council in the position of having to open the annexation
hearing and immediately continue it to a later date, when the zoning plan and ordinance
are ready for second reading public hearing. Doing this is confusing and frustrating for
the public, which is encouraged to attend the annexation hearing, only to learn that
hearing will be postponed until a later date, when the zoning plan will be available
The attached ordinance addresses this propblem by giving the Council a third
option to table the annexation petition without taking any action on it for a period of up
to six months. This gives the annexation petitioner time necessary to submit and have
a zoning plan reviewed and a zoning ordinance brought forward, such that the
GED\53027\486605,1
ATTACHMENT 1
annexation hearing can be held at the same time as the zoning ordinance public
hearing
The City has authority to add this procedure as a home rule municipality acting
under Article XX of the Colorado Constitution Annexation, as a land use matter, is
"local and municipal," a topic upon which City Councils in home rule municipalities may
legislate in addition to the statutes.
Approval is recommended

ADOPTION OF 2003 INTERNATIONAL BCILDING CODES
OCTOBER 11,2004
ALAN WHITE, RA..NDY YOl'NG
Dear Council Members;
The BuildIng Department IS planrnng to adopt the 2003 Intemauonal BuildIng Codes from
the Internauonal Code Council (ICC) wruch illcludes the 2003 Internauonal Resldenual
Code, 2003 Intemauonal Property Mailltenance Code, 2003 Internauonal Builchng Code,
2003 Internauonal Mecharncal Code, 2003 Intemauonal Plumbillg Code, 2003 Internauonal
Fire Code, 2003 Internauonal Property Mailltenance Code, 2003 Internauonal Fuel Gas
Code, 2003 Internauonal Energy Conservauon Code/Cltv of Wheat R1dge Prescnpuve
Energy Code and the City of \Xiheat R1dge Mimmum Foundauon standards. Currently the
Cltv IS under the 1997 U rnform BuildIng Code (UBC)
Why IS the City not adopung a newer verSIOn of the l.'rnform BuildIng Code? In 2000 the
Umform BuildIng Code (UBC) JOilled forces with Builchng OffiCIal and Code ;\dmilllstrators
(BOCA) and the Southern BuildIng Code Congress Internauonal (SBCCI) wruch were the
three largest code groups ill the Umted States. These code groups combilled to form the
Intemauonal Code Council (ICC), also known as the I-codes.
In 2004, the Builchng Department researched the Idea for adopuon of a City of \X'heat R1dge
foundauon standard. Currently, there are no standards for foundauon rebar or footer wIdth
ill the MurnClpal Code. ThIs vacancy of standards could result ill foundauons beillg
desIgned by an engrneer or arcrutect wIth lIttle knowledge of the soil typeS ill ',X'heat R1dge.
The end results, ill such cases would be settlIng, crackIng, and sillkIng foundauons that
future homeowner would have to deal \nth. The illtent of thIs proposed standard for
foundauons IS to gIye the contractors a ll1l11l1TIum standard foundauon heIght, wIth a
rmmmum amount of rebar placed ill both the footer and stem wall. The standard foundauon
detail will help the homeowner and contractor better bId out thelt resldenual project, and
will help protect the future reSidence ill Wheat R1dge from costly foundauon problem.
Engrneenng will still be reqwred on new consttucuon of resldenual homes.
As the City BuildIng Official I have seen numerous foundanon plans stamped bv several
Colorado lIcensed engrneers that have cracked and subsided, wruch has put burden on
present and future homeowners ill the City The ll1l11l1TIum foundauon standard reqwres a
ATTACHMENT 1
rmmmal amount of rebar ill all res1dentJ.al foundatJ.ons, unless the hcensed engmeer reqUltes
adchtJ.onal rebar. The rebar helps control crackmg and foundauon movement.
The Builchng Department 1S giVillg the pubhc the opuon to use one of two energy codes,
E1ther the 2003 Energy Consernt:1On Code bv (ICC) or they may use the Cm' of Wheat
fudge Prescnpuye Energy Code Energy pnces are gomg to contlnue to l11crease. Most of
the fuels that we use to produce power are from non-renewable resources wluch are
beconung more scarce and expensn-e.
On the back I have illcluded Attachment A, Attachment A 1S a hst of amendments to the
2003 Internauonal Builchng Codes.
The Builchng Department encourages growth ill the C1ty of Wheat fudge, while creatlng a
Quallt:y Built Commumty Standard where res1dents won't have to worry about foundauon
and structural problems or exorb1tant fuel bills,
If vou have anv quesuons please feel free to give me a call at 303-235-2853

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Jefferson County Open Space Department has aJomt venture grant program where Cities may
apply for matchmg funds for mamtenance or new constructIOn projects. The reqUlrement IS a 50%
cash match for grant funds. The 2005 project is for trail replacement conslstmg of a 10 foot wide, 6"
thlCk concrete trail. The trml area to be replaced IS from approximately the Y oungfield Street
underpass to West Bndge and the trail from Prospect Bridge west to the existmg concrete. This years
project also includes improvements to the Youngfield trailhead. The amount oftrai1 to be replaced
will depend on costs and fundmg available. If fundmg allows additlOna11mear feet of trail will be
replaced east of Prospect Brdige. The City currently has $150,000 appropnated for 2004 trail
replacement. The grant application WIll request approximately $150,000 m matching funds.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
No formal motlon was made by the Parks and Recreation CommissIon. Projects were presented to the
CommISSIOn as part of the budget process.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The trml m the area defined above IS in need of replacement due to the WIdth and poor surface
conditIon. The Jefferson County standard for trail surface is concrete and the Open Space Committee
will not approve applications for fundmg that use other surfaces. There are conflictmg opmlons m the
commumty regardmg the most aesthetic and desirable matenal for trail resurfacmg. City Council
passed resolutIOns m 2002 and 2003 for concrete trail resurfacmg. Concrete IS considered the surface
of chOice for low mamtenance and durability; asphalt IS considered the surface of chOlce for a softer
surface. In thiS particular area of the trail there IS a crusher fine trail m the Conservation area,
provldmg a softer surface alternative for walkers and runners. Improvements to the trail head include
new concrete at the entrance, new slgnage and dramgage Improvements.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Replace trail with asphalt and do not apply for a grant for trail resurfacmg With Jefferson County Open
Space. Replace grant applicatIOn With an alternative project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City does not have a project appropnated for 2005 that would be as attractive for grant fundmg by
the Jefferson County Open Space Committee. An alternative project could be applied for m place of
the trail replacement. An applicatIOn for a State of Colorado trails grant has also been submitted for
thiS project m the amount of a $50,000 request. The City received a grant of $44, I 00 from the state
for the 2004 trail replacement project. lfthis grant IS not received or not funded at the entire amount
requested, the project scope ,will be scaled back to match the funds available.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution 27-2004 Authorizmg Submittal of the ApplicatIOn for the 2005 Joint
Venture/Grant Project to Jefferson County Open Space - Clear Creek Trail Replacement Phase III."
or,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
- The sculpture entttled "What has stood, shall always be" has been selected for mstallatIOn at Founders'
Park as an addltton to the City's permanent pubhc art collection. ThiS sculpture represents a fallen tree
and has a sculpted marble base and black gramte components. An Art Selectton Committee was
assembled per the department admmlstrattve pohces definmg the process for acqumng public art. A
call for entry, which IS a document that describes the project amd scope of work and IS used as an
advertisement for the project, was sent out statewIde. The CIty received responses to the project. The
art mural selectton commIttee revIewed all entnes and chose three finahsts. These finalIsts prepared a
proposal for the project, were mtervIewed and the final selectIOn was chosen.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
The Cultural CommIssIOn approved the Art Selectton CommIttee for thiS project.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The City Counctl adopted an ordmance amendmg Chapter 18 of the Code of Laws by entitlmg the said
chapter "Arts and Culture" and by the additIOn of an Article 1 concemmg the acqUIsItion, display,
ownership and disposal of publIc works of art. The City CounCIl also adopted the administrattve
pohces that define the acqumng, documentatIOn and conservatton, dIsplay and sItmg, de-accessIomng
works of art and a conflIct of interest statement. The advertIsement or call for entry for the project was
open to anyone that WIshed to apply The Art Selection CommIttee was also an open applIcatIOn
process per the admImstrattve polIcIes. And the reVIew of entnes and the selectton was followed per
the admmistratlve polIcIes. The sculpture was ongmally intended to be a play sculpture. After
analysIs of the wmnmg entry, It was decIded thIs sculpture could not be adapted to meet the
reqUIrements of the "Playground Safety Standards Handbook". This sculpture will be considered an
art sculpture and the areas wIll be sIgned WIth wordmg mdlcatmg the sculpture IS not a playground.
ThIs signage will be necessary to protect the CIty from liabIlIty If an mdlVldual clImbs on the sculpture
and IS injured.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not approve the contract for the project. The area would then be converted to a different use, either
sod or natIve seed planted, or a tradItIOnal playground could be mstalled WIth the appropnated funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
ThIs project is appropriated in the Open Space Fund 32, whIch IS a speCIal fund for sales tax revenue
for the Jefferson County open space sales tax. These funds can only be spent on Park and RecreatIOn
projects.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to award the art sculpture contract for Founders' Park to Josh Wiener m the amount of
$34,500 ro be charged to account 32-60l-800-862."

'~at has stood, shall always be"
Flowing rivers sing the world's inexhaustible song. In nature, we can see
how the mighty tree gives to all that encounter it from birth to decay. Its
effect will be fossilized by this sculpture. The space I am proposing to
put a sculpture in suggests that it was built around a fallen tree. The
fiber mulch serves as another indicator of what has stood in this space.
By creating this sculpture in perfect harmony with the shape of the
space, we can claim the final piece in this beautiful park.
This mighty tree has fallen and revealed its secrets to us. The story of
this tree is also the story of all life. The leaves have turned to stone, and
the trunk sheds layers to reveal it's inner most secret. A river runs
through the core of its life as well as the core of all land creatures. Our
connection to the river is so embedded in us we need only to suggest it
to evoke our primal knowledge. Weare the river as is the tree. It is
reflected in our capillaries and defined by the percent of water in our
bodies. It is the provider of clean water, the feeder of deep roots, and the
tickler of unborn seeds.
-
In the roots, we see the rush of life. Hawks and fish both symbolize
consciousness so they are applied in the front of the river. The wave of
the roots is pushing through all life in search of continued existence.
The structure of the tree mimics the topography of a mountain range.
The roots drive deep into the earth, as the river has it's footing in the
ocean. The mass of the trunk runs across great expanses then branches
up into valleys. At each divide, the pathway thins and the branches are
turned to trickling creeks. The highest branches wave at the top of the
mountain, basking in the rich sunlight. The rivers and the trees have
similar things on their minds, let it rain.
Artist Statement
I have been challenged to find the hidden reason for this shape. It has a
heart that simply needed to be revealed.
"What has stood, shall always be" has been created to embody the
defining reason for the shape of the sight at Founders' Park. I needed
something here that held the appropriate weight in size and concept.
Everything about this space cried for the immora'1ized tree.
In this project I will provide materials and skill to create a work of art
that exceeds the budget. Being an emerging artist, I am eager to gain a
foothold in the community. This project has the potential to become my
showpiece, so I am pooling my resources for a remarkable outcome. I
already own the stone, which enables me to do this project while still
making a profit.
The direction I am going with my art can be highlighted in this project. I
am an artistic network. I am going to bring people together in a way that
is co-supportive and co-beneficial. I display this in my non-profit arts
organization and will be displaying it more and more in my art
-
My goal is to show what will happen as we learn to work together. I am
striving in this opportunity to display my capacity to network while
bringing something fresh to the Denver area.
I am an emerging artist with a substantial history of public art
experience. I have been hired to work on some of the states most
significant works of art. I have also been hired to work in Japan two
separate times, first to help create a piece that went into a museum and
second for a public park and a sacred spring. My work is steeped in
such a wide range of teclmiques that I am completely comfortable taking
on any project.
This piece suggests our interaction with nature. By creating a sculpture
that evokes a sense of curiosity, I think that we will stimulate the
imagination with an aesthetically pleasing sculpture.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
-
By request of Council President Sang, a general discussion of the current Council Rules and
Procedures has been brought forward. City Council may review the Rules at any time upon request of
any member of Council. It is proposed that the Council Rules and Procedures be revised to change
three sections under the heading of TYPES OF MEETINGS Under "Elected Officials Matters" at the
October 25,2004 City Council Meeting it was announced by Council President Sang that Proposed
Council Rule changes had been distributed.
One amendment establishes First Monday District Meetings as quarterly with one quarterly Distnct
meeting scheduled as an annual city-wide town meeting. Another amendment establishes City Council
Study Sessions on the first and third Monday of each month. The final amendment eliminates the forty-
five (45) minute time limit for each Study Session agenda item.
COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The following amendments were submitted to Council on October 25, 2004
Replace Section A. (3) with.
"Quarterly First Monday District Meetings are to be held at a place to be
announced commencing at 7:00 p.m. the first Monday in March, September, ,
and December. The June First Monday District Meeting may be
scheduled as an Annual Town Meeting."
Replace Section A. (4) with.
"Study Sessions are the first (1st) and third (3rd) Monday of eacb month at 6:30
p.m., excluding dates on which a Quarterly Monday District Meeting
or Town Meeting is scheduled."
Repeal Section C STUDY SESSIONS
"Each item on the agenda shaD be limited to forty-five (45) minutes. Time may
be extended for an agenda item by a majority consensus
vote of Council Members present."
Options may be considered to schedule the District meetings in alternate months due to the Labor Day
holiday in September. (See Attachment 1) The recommendation is to adopt OPTION A for Council
Rules because the Quarterly District Meeting scheduled for October, rather than November would
allow for more time before an election day Additionally, the Annual Town meetmg would be
scheduled closer to rrud-year in June as opposed to August.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Amend the Rules as submitted.
Amend the Rules according to alternate options proposed in Attachment 1
Not to amend the Council Rules and Procedures.
