A Maintenance Facility Master Plan was also funded to assist in determining the future location of the Police evidence compound. The master plan was completed and the design of the evidence building commenced in 2004. The programming for the Police evidence building indicated a need for a 2252 square foot facility, Construction estimates for the facility exceeded the available budget and Police management requested that the building be sized to remain within the project budget. An 1850 square foot building was designed with provision for the expansion as future funding became available. Police Chief Dan Brennan requests that the City Council entertain funding the full needs of the evidence facility at this time. Correspondence from the Police Department is attached. Public Works Staff has determined that the budget for the larger building, along with requested, un-programmed amenities (key pad system, alarm system, fire suppression system, lift), would be $ 260,000, Therefore, an additional budget appropriation of $110,000 is required to complete the project at this time. We are available to discuss this project at your convenience. Wheat Ridge Police Department MEMORANDUM To: From. Date: Reference: Tim Paranto, Public Works DIrector Commander Wade Hammond June 16, 2003 EVIdence Compound Replacement There are currently two "Temporary buildmgs", an open chain-link bIcycle storage area, and a rented storage contamer located at the Public Works Shops for large and overflow eVIdence items. The law requires that evidence in criminal matters be properly stored for the prosecutIOn of criminals and for the eventual return to legitImate owners. The two current temporary buildmgs were considered short-term solutions In 1987 and were expected to proVIde service until 1993. Both current buildmgs have numerous soft spots where the underlying supports are begmnIng to rot. One buildmg suffers from a humIdIty control problem caUSIng items to detenorate. The other bUIlding IS used to store a vehIcle until It can be properly processed. There IS not room inSIde for a techruclan to do theIr work. The floor IS In such poor condition that the weight ofvelucles often causes holes. ThIs buildmg IS becommg critIcal and could collapse In the near future. AddJtionally, the current buildings do not proVIde adequate space to meet present needs therefore we have had to rent a temporary container for a recent homicide. In 1999 the cost of replacing buildings was set at $85,000. Attached you will find a recent estimate for replacement at $145,000. This IS a problem that has been in a critIcal state for years but do to the cost IS Ignored. Any consideration m this matter WIll be greatly appreciated. MiNtl:oia ~ !)11C.

Delivering Solutions" ~~$tatu8dlu~~) Linda Trimble, CPPB Purchasing Agent City of Wheat Ridge 7500 West 29th Avenue Wheat Ridge CO 80215 Reference: Storage/Impound Building at Maintenance Yard Budget Dear Linda, On June 2, 2003 1 reviewed the proposed project location. The following assumptions are included in the budget we are providing. . Public Service or its equivalent that serves the project area will bring in, via overhead, power and provide the electrical contractor a connection point on the load side of the transformer The electrical contractor will set a roof mast and bring power into the building, Public Service or its equivalent will provide gas service and regulator to the building. The mechanical contractor will pipe to the roof top unit. . The area is currently asphalt, this budget assumes the asphalt will be removed where the building is placed, . A projected building size of 50 x 50 or 60 x 40 should be adequate to house the items indicated in your emai!. The building would have 12' - 14' sidewalls and a 1/12 or 2112 roof pitch, . The budget assumes the building will be set on a spread footer with a stem wall to below frost line, A new slab on grade will be installed in the building, This is figured because there are some code considerations where asphalt is installed in a storage facility The asphalt around the building perimeter would be patched. . The building would be insulated with vinyl face insulation, roof and sidewalls. R19 roof and R11 sidewalls . Building would have 210' x 10' overhead doors and 1 3'0 x TO man door. . 50 Inft of 8' high chainlink fence and 1 8' sliding gate have been included, . A 2500 cfm package roof top heating and air conditioning unit is included, Ductwork will include a main distribution trunk along and below the ridge with extended throw diffusers. Unit will be controlled through a single thermostat. . Lighting will be 8, pendent mount metal halide fixtures (or similar) . Electrical service would be 200amp, Given these considerations and assumptions we suggest a budget of $145,000.00 We consider this to be a reasonably conservative estimate that should stand through the end of 2004 This budget does not consider relocation of buried, existing utilities and further assumes that the soil under the proposed location does not require any unusual stabilization measures. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this budget. My Best Regards, Scott A. Solem MEMORANDUM To Mayor and City CouncIl From. Sergeant Kevm Armstrong Date' March 7, 2005 RE PolIce EVIdence and Processing Buildmg The polIce department currently has about 568 square feet of storage, which IS not clImate controlled or alanned, Two of the storage uruts are leased mobile contamers. The amount of eVIdence the polIce department IS collectmg each year IS mcreasmg by at least 10%. There IS currently 15, 500 pIeces of evidence being stored. · In 2003 the polIce department collected 6,603 pIeces of eVIdence. · In 2004, 7,136 pIeces of eVIdence were collected. The amount of eVIdence collected in homIcIde cases has mcreased dramatIcally- · In 1985, there were 95 pIeces of evidence collected m one homIcIde · In 2003, there were 547 pIeces of eVIdence collected m a smgle homIcIde · In 2004, there were 459 pIeces of eVIdence collected m the Kmgry homIcIde. With the arrest of suspects and search warrants the amount of eVIdence collected wIllmcrease substantIally EVIdence collected m homiCIdes mcludes anythmg from a full sIze car to a bullet fragment. In 2003, an estImate for a building (50' X 50" or 60' X 40') was gIven at $150,000, by Mmn Kota Contracting Inc. City Council approved this expenditure, In 2004, the cIty acqUIred property Just to the west of the eXIsting shops. It was determmed tills would be the best place for the new EVldence/Lab Processmg bUIlding. However, the land reqUIred Improvements before the building could be built. The money for the land Improvements came out of the $150,000 In 2004, Commander Hammond and I attended traming on Managmg Property and EVIdence. There are natIOnal standards set for the preservation and protectIOn of property and evidence. These standards are set by International Association for Property and Evidence (LA.P.E.). The standards set by LA.P.E. are also used for the national accreditatIOn process the department may seek m the future. After revlewmg the proposed evidence buildmg from 2003, we found we fell well short of these MEMORANDUM natIOnal standards. The CIty and Police Department are held accountable both cnmmally and clVllly for the property/evIdence they acqUIre. The IllmOls Supreme Court m 2004 recently ruled that all eVIdence m homIcIdes and sexual assaults must be mamtamed mdefimtely ThIs IS due to DNA eVIdence. DNA evidence must be kept in a climate controlled envIronment. ThIs presents a long term storage Issue for the police department. There IS a need for space to store and process vehIcles used m cnminal acts. The current buildmg (barn), has detenorated to the pomt you can not process or store a vehIcle m It. The floor IS rottmg out, and the structure of the building IS questIOnable, There IS not adequate space m the barn to process a vehIcle. The desIgn of the new bUlldmg provIdes for adequate space and storage for large items including two vehicles. 02 ArchItecture designed a buildmg that was two stones, 36' X 36' ThIS bUlldmg mcluded a processmg bay wIth adequate space for a vehicle. It included an outsIde caged area (12' X 10' 5") for smaller eVIdence that does not need to be stored mSlde. The mSlde storage would mcrease to about 638 square feet. However, mcreasmg the bUlldmg to the setback lines, (36' X 45') would mcrease the storage to 1322 square feet. The mcrease m storage would accommodate the police department's storage space for the foreseeable future, The buildmg would need to be eqUIpped with the followmg to meet I.A.P.E. Standards' > A climate controlled buildmg. > A keyless alarm and entry system, ThIs is needed to protect not only the eVIdence bemg stored but also control the access to the buildmg, > A dry chemical fire suppressIOn system. Tlus is needed to suppress any fire that would start. A dry chemical as apposed to a wet system to suppress the fire without damagmg any eVidence, > A mecharucal lift is needed to move eVidence to the second floor. ThIs 11ft reduces the potentlal nsk ofmJury to officer and/or techniCIans who would otherwise use a dolly and the stairs to move this eVidence. > In the near future, space saving storage shelvmg Will be needed m the new bUlldmg. This shelvmg would maximize the space available to meet the needs for eVidence storage m the foreseeable future. > A lab quality refngerator/freezer will be needed.to store DNA evidence. > There is a need for outside storage. The location of the new evidence property will provIde approximately 2500 square feet of storage. This outsIde storage wlll need special fencmg, lightmg and an alarm system. , .....~. ~ '. \Z" , . . ", -:.i. . MEMORANDUM To Mayor and City Council From: Sergeant KevIn Armstrong Date, March 30, 2005 RE. EVidence BUIlding I attempted to locate Information on standards for the size ofbuildmg needed to store eVidence. I was unable to find any standards. The polIce departments' best information was provided by OZ Arcrutecture. Oz Architecture suggested a buildIng for eVidence and eVidence processing at 2252 square feet. This square footage was based on mformatlOn provided In 2003 Since this date, new Supreme Court deCISIOns have come down reqUIring polIce departments to hold on to DNA eVidence mdefimtely The square footage for the eVidence building suggested by Oz Architecture would be the mimmum size need by the polIce department. AdditIOnal long term storage space will be needed In the future. ------ - - ~ __ Sto<8!l" 12 18 '92 eaflO\108d 0rI~1~ 10 30 300 cncloMd . r..-s , ~SlOr8Q'I 12 18 '92 Ero<;ioMd & r..-s \cunenIIY III a.ml .. ....""""

Jefferson County's new higher-income owner households are not choosing Wheat Ridge. New homeowners' incomes demonstrate how Jefferson County places are split into three submarkets. On average, places like Applewood and Evergreen are now attracting households earning over $100,000; Littleton, Westminster, Arvada, and Lakewood are attracting households earning between $75,000 and $100,000, In contrast, Wheat Ridge and Edgewater are attracting households earning $50,000 to $75,000. And Wheat Ridge is losing ground - more recent in- migrants earn less, on average, than those who moved in between 1980 and 1989, . Wheat Ridge is home to few of households that "make the market" - households earning at least $75,000. While roughly one-third of Jefferson County households (34%) earn at least $75,000, just 17% (or half the portion) of Wheat Ridge households do. In nearby Genesee, Bow Mar, Superior, and Evergreen, higher-income households represent the majority of local households; at least one-third of households in Jefferson County municipalities like Ken Caryl, Westminster, and Arvada, earn $75,000 or more, . Wheat Ridge attracted just 4% of Jefferson County's homeowner in-migrating between 1990 and 2000. In contrast, one-fifth of all new county owners chose to buy a home in Lakewood, Westminster, and Arvada. . Wheat Ridge is not attracting Jefferson County's most educated adults. In Wheat Ridge, just 25% of adults have a Bachelor's or graduate degree - compared to 29% in Arvada, 33% in Lakewood, nearly 50% in Applewood and Aspen Park, roughly two-thirds in Bow Mar and Evergreen, and 75% in Genesee . While one-in-four Jefferson County workers are employed in professional or related occupations, just 19% of Wheat Ridge adults are professionals, Professionals are largely clustered in municipalities like nearby Superior, Evergreen, Genesee, Bow Mar, and Ken Caryl. . Wheat Ridge has one of the lowest homeownership rates in Jefferson County: While nearly three-quarters of Jefferson County households own their homes, barely half of Wheat Ridge households do. Homeowners are clustered in nearby municipalities like Bow Mar, Genesee, Ken Caryl, Evergreen and Arvada. . Wheat Ridge is also home to a significant portion of vulnerable families: One-fourth of Wheat Ridge families (26%) are headed by a single parent, Wheat Ridge's portion of married-couple families is one of the lowest in Jefferson County, and greatly trails that for nearby municipalities as well as the county as a whole. Why does it matter? Countywide, the median income for \'\'I]\;ST( IN Ass( lU \TI:S 46% Broadway, Boulder CO 8U304 (P)303,440.'J200 (F)303449.6911 'VW\v.wlnstonassociates.com 1'$;1'2(>1'3 Will' \'IIUl)(;F NRS-\X'ILLI,\;C;NI'SS'j'(l 1'$ \l\JD STRllNC ITUllSEllClLD SU~IM\ln 18 \PRI], 200S married-couple families is more than one-and-a-half times that for single-parent families ($74,149 vs. $38,669), Single-mothers typically earn even less. Strong Households - Lending Patterns . When purchasing a home, potential buyers can borrow from conventional lenders or receive subsidized loans (FHA, VA, or FSA/RHS loans), In Central and Western Wheat Ridge, nearly one-third of all originated home purchase loans (28% to 35%) are subsidized loans - a reflection of home values and/or applicant credit ratings and income, Other Wheat Ridge census tracts generally have above-average portions of home purchase loans originated by conventional lenders; only the city's southwest quadrant has an high portion of conventional home purchase loans. Outside of Wheat Ridge, a significant amount of subsidized loans are originated to the north in Westminster and eastern Arvada. . Denial rates are another indication of lending institutions' faith in area property values (both present and future) and evaluation of applicants' credit-worthiness. In northern Wheat Ridge, nearly one-fifth of all conventional loan applications (19%) were denied in 2003. This contrasts with just one-tenth (10% and 12%) in lower western Wheat Ridge, Denial rates for conventional loans are generally low throughout Jefferson County. However, Wheat Ridge's denial rate for conventional loans is nearly 15% greater than Jefferson County's overall rate. Central and Northwestern Wheat Ridge have above average rates, along with sections of Lakewood and Westminster. . Wheat Ridge census tracts have some of the county's highest rates of lending to absentee owners. Northwest Wheat Ridge falls in the top category; all of eastern Wheat Ridge has above average lending to absentee owners: In northern Wheat Ridge, at least 10% of all loans originating went to "non-occupant" owners in 2003. (In Northwest Wheat Ridge, 15% of all loans went to absentee owners.) In Wheat Ridge as a whole, absentee owners receive nearly twice the portion of originated loans than in Jefferson County as a whole (8.1% vs. 4.9%). Only East and West Pleasantville, Golden, Edgewater, and lower Arvada (the portions adjacent to Wheat Ridge) have comparable rates. Absentee owners tend to have less personal or non-financial stake in the neighborhood. Strong Households -Willingness to Pay . "Willingness to pay" is illustrated by local abandonment rates, homeownership rates, population trends, and median house values all relative to county or city figures. This quantifies a municipality's or census tract's level of excess demand and supply, and attractiveness to in- migrants as well as those looking to make a long-term commitment to a particular community. . As a whole, Wheat Ridge has a below average willingness to pay score - when compared to other places in Jefferson County. Nearby Arvada and Ken Caryl, for example, have above average willingness to pay scores; Genesee and Indian Hills high willingness to pay scores; and Bow Mar a very high willingness to pay score. Only Mountain View has a lower willingness to pay score. . All Wheat Ridge census tracts, except for the city's southwest corner, have below average willingness to pay scores; southwest Wheat Ridge has a high willingness to pay score. Outside of Wheat Ridge, on the census tract level, lower willingness to pay rates are prevalent in Edgewood, East and West Pleasant View, portions of Lakewood, and central Denver, . Investors are most attracted to southwest Wheat Ridge and areas around the city's open space. Northwest and southeast Wheat Ridge are least attractive to investors.

Please take note of Item 3: Council Meeting Dinners. I wish to bring the Legislative Budget to a study session to diSCUSS a budget supplement for this item and a broader discussion of the budget as a whole. It is necessary to clanfY policy on legislative budget expenditures. The 2005 Legislative Budget as approved allocated a fixed amount, $170 00 in Meetings and Conferences, for the purpose of attending CML trainings such as legislative day and effective leadership workshops. Due to the fiscal restramts of the past few years there were not funds allocated for other events such as policy committee events, West Chamber luncheons, business associatIOn meetings or other events that the Mayor and Council members are regularly invited. The personal finanCial burden fell on the individual Council member if they chose to attend certam functions. As there has been a nsing interest in attending such events, we have utilized these funds for Council members who inquired, But at this time, I would like to get direction from the body as to an established policy on expenditures and any amendments to the budget that Council may wish to pursue. Attached please see the expenditures to date for each Council member (Item 6), At the next available study session, I will bring forward options for budget supplements and policy recommendations on expenditures for your conSideration. In the mtenm, please be aware of the status of your expenditures. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time. 01-102-700-702 CONFERENCES AND MEETINGS DETAIL (SECTIONS 3 AND 6) AS OF April 11, 2005.
