WHEAT RIDGE POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Gretchen Cerveny and City Council VIA: Randy Young, City Manage~/')(. FROM: Daniel Brennan, Chief of Police p~/'o \ DATE. April 18th, 2005 SUBJECT: Unnecessary Noise/Disturbing the Peace Ordinance BACKGROUND The Wheat Ridge Police Department responds to Disturbing the Peace calls on a daily basis. Analyzing statistics for the years 2001 through 2004, we discovered that Wheat Ridge Police officers handled Disturbing the Peace calls on an average of 112 per month STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Citizens often call to report loud car stereos in their neighborhoods. These loud car stereos can - often be heard several blocks away, disturbing the peace of our citizens. Many of these citizens are reluctant to either provide their names to dispatch or allow the police to contact them as witnesses against the person responsible for the loud car stereos. Officers who hear loud car stereos and want to enforce the current Disturbing the Peace ordinance cannot be considered as "victims" of the unnecessary noise Citizens who live near parks or greenbelt areas are often confronted with loud portable stereos. These citizens would like for the police to be able to stop the source of the noise, but they are reluctant to have the police contact them so that a complaint can be lodged. Additionally, as the Wheat Ridge Disturbing the Peace ordinance is currently written, the only standard that can be used for enforcement is, "sound at such a level, or at such an hour, as to disturb the peace of any other person" This standard is difficult to prove in court because it is not an objective level by which to measure the noise The result of these factors is that the people responsible for disturbing the peace of our citizens are rarely held accountable for their actions. ALTERNATIVES 1, Amend the current ordinance to permit the police to be the complaining parties and provide an objective measure of unreasonable noise 2. Amend the ordinance as in option #1 and provide specific decibel levels as a measure of noise 3, Continue enforcement efforts with the existing ordinance. RECOMMENDATION Option #2 would require the police department to purchase sound meters that cost approximately $1500 each This option appears cost-prohibitive Option #3 does not adequately address our current enforcement needs for the reasons stated above We recommend option #1, as implemented in the attached ordinance We believe that this change in the ordinance's language will improve the enforcement and prosecution of unnecessary noise that disturbs the peace of our citizens. We recommend that the Mayor and the City Council consider repealing the current Disturbing the Peace ordinance, and enacting a new ordinance, which effectively deals with regulating Unnecessary Noise and Disturbing the Peace This new ordinance would allow for police officers to be the complainants on Unnecessary Noise complaints, in addition to providing an objective measure of unreasonable noise The City Attorney's office has already drafted a new ordinance at the request of the police department. This new ordinance subjects any noise/sound to an objective standard, specifically that it will be deemed unreasonable any sound which is audible twenty-five (25) or more feet from the noise or sound source The new ordinance also deals specifically with noise created in multi-unit dwellings, and with trash truck pick-ups after 11'OOpm and before 7:00am The ordinance will also allow for any member of the police department who personally observes a violation of this ordinance to serve as the complaining party in the prosecution of such a violation, regardless of whether or not the officer's observation was initiated by the complaint of - another party The new ordinance has been reviewed by the Police Department, Courts, the City Prosecutor, and the Wheat Ridge Judiciary Each of these segments of the City's government have endorsed the attached ordinance.

WHEAT RIDGE POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Randy Young, City Manager ~rtl FROM: Daniel Brennan, Chief of Police DATE. April 22, 2005 SUBJECT: Joint EOC with the City of Lakewood - BACKGROUND During the past several years staff has tried to create an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for the City of Wheat Ridge The EOC is currently located in the Police Training Room; thus making it not accessible nor operational at all times. Extensive set- up is needed to use this room as an EOC We have learned through county-wide emergency exercises, etc., that it is apparent that our own EOC is not feasible at this time The City of Lakewood's EOC is generally dedicated for EOC use Lakewood's EOC is set up with the needed equipment and ready to be used at all times. The City has struggled with the emergency management program as a whole for a number of years with equipment issues, policies and procedures, as well as resources. As Homeland Security Issues continue to grow, we are finding we don't have the resources nor the staff needed to meet the needs of the community STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Due to the physical location and limited resources, it has become apparent that it is not economically feasible to create and maintain an EOC for the City ALTERNATIVES Alternatives include continue working on our own EOC or joining another local municipality(s) to establish a joint (or shared) EOC. The department explored with Lakewood's Emergency Management department the prepared IGA - Feasibility of a Joint Emergency Operations Center The cost of the feasibility study will be $35,000. Lakewood will pay the $35,000 with Wheat Ridge reimbursing Lakewood $3,000 to participate in the study Wheat Ridge was invited by Lakewood to participate in this study RECOMMENDATION 1 Staff recommends entering into an IGA with Lakewood to research the feasibility of co-locating a shared EOC with the City of Lakewood. A feasibility study will be done in conjunction with a site screening analysis to identify the best site for an EOC It is proposed that the primary facility be located in Lakewood with a back-up facility located in Wheat Ridge sometime in the future. 2. Staff recommends approval of funds ($3,000) to be taken from the police department's emergency management program approved by City Council in the 2005 budget.

WHEAT RIDGE POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Gretchen Cerveny and City Council VIA: Randy Young, City Manager \~~ FROM: Daniel Brennan, Chief of Police DATE. April 18, 2005 SUBJECT: Community Graffiti Response Plan - BACKGROUND Most of the Denver Metro area communities began to experience the social and economic impacts from graffiti in the early 1990's. "Taggers" were the initial individuals or groups associated with graffiti or "tagging." Taggers and street gangs have used tagging as a method to identify territory or send a message to other groups. Graffiti is cyclical and a crime of opportunity, making apprehension of offenders difficult. Proactive patrol for graffiti violations was implemented in 1993 with the department's addition of the Police Bike Patrol Program. Patrolling on mountain bikes allowed police officers, teamed with officers from Animal-Park-Code Enforcement, the Gang Unit, and Selective Education Enforcement, to focus on areas in the city known to harbor graffiti "artists" The City had a "no tolerance" campaign for curfew violations, park violations after hours, and other juvenile criminal activity Teams would spend a few hours each night patrolling neighborhoods, parks and greenbelt. Juveniles contacted after dark would be interviewed, warned about participating in criminal activity, and summoned to court for any violations. Interview cards with juvenile and parent contact information were gathered and entered into the database computer system for future comparisons. During this time frame graffiti located by the Police Department was documented and photographed. Several juveniles were prosecuted for "tagging" during this "no-tolerance" campaign In addition, the Selective Education and Enforcement Unit provided paint and other materials to property owners at no cost to remove the graffiti. These proactive bike patrols and other prevention programs were discontinued due to budget cuts. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The following information provides five year statistical background of graffiti incidents reported to the Police Department: YEAR TOTAL CASES APCE PATROL .NULL's 2000 93 39 50 4 2001 175 114 50 11 2002 172 150 18 4 2003 348 221 123 4 2004 287 121 152 14 TOTALS 1,075 645 393 37 - These numbers do not reflect the incidents of graffiti discovered by Public Works and Parks, which are often cleaned up without being reported to the Police Department. Graffiti calls for service fit into three categories' graffiti on public right-of-way; graffiti in the parks and along the greenbelt; and graffiti occurring on private property As mentioned previously, Patrol and Animal-Park-Code Enforcement Officers have traditionally responded to graffiti calls for service in the parks and on private property When the City began experiencing budgetary cutbacks, the Parks and Recreation Department discontinued reporting the majority of graffiti incidents to the Police Department because it took too long for them to respond. Today, the Parks and Recreation Department uses Palm Pilots to track incidents of graffiti in the parks or along the greenbelt. The Parks and Recreation Department makes every effort to cleanup the graffiti as promptly as possible The Public Works Department makes every effort to remove graffiti located on public right-of- ways as soon as possible Currently, Public Works personnel document the date of removal, type of property "tagged", location of property, and costs associated with removal. The Police Department is working with both departments on standardizing reporting of these incidents so we have a more accurate indication on the number of actual graffiti incidents occurring in the community The Police Department continues to respond to graffiti calls for service. When a call for service is received or an incident of graffiti is observed, the officer is responsible for completing a report and photographing the damage. If the incident occurs on private property the owner is contacted in person, via telephone or certified letter (for out of town property owners) per city ordinance. The property owner is issued a written warning to remove the graffiti within seven (7) days. If graffiti is removed, the property is in compliance and no further action is required; however, if graffiti is not removed, the property owner is written a summons to court and the graffiti removed by the City (abated) Public Works personnel are contacted to remove graffiti in public rights-of-way and Parks maintenance personnel are contacted to remove graffiti in parks, greenbelt and open space areas. To date, 100% voluntary compliance from private property owners has been achieved. ALTERNATIVES There are a number of approaches that can be taken to address the issue of graffiti in a community Research has shown that approaches that focus exclusively on enforcement to control offenders has had little effect on the amount of graffiti activity Apprehending and prosecuting graffiti offenders is difficult, to say the least. The following alternatives are proven programs, which include self-help projects and changes in offender prosecution, and have shown a reduction nationwide in the number of graffiti events: y Neighborhood Watch Programs for neighborhoods impacted by crime y Clean-up squads of volunteers, employees, and adjudicated offenders volunteering their time to remove graffiti. These groups often establish a semi-annual community graffiti clean up day for neighborhood groups and associations. ~ Programs and educational materials to educate parents in graffiti recognition. ~ Enforcing curfew violations with a "no-tolerance" campaign. ~ Community Code Advisory Program (CCAP) provides a proactive way to address property maintenance concerns that impact neighborhoods as a whole. ~ Continue to use City resources to cleanup graffiti in our parks and public works. The City currently takes responsibility for all graffiti cleanup (parks, public right-of-ways and private property) Public Works expended $16,866.02 from January 1, 2004 through March 2, 2005, an average cost of $252 per removal day Parks maintenance expended $14,483 to remove 76 incidents of graffiti from January 1, 2004 through March 2, 2005, an average cost of $190 per removal day. - y Outsourcing graffiti cleanup to a private contractor. The costs associated with this vary depending on the vendor and extent of cleanup required. RECOMMENDATION The Police Department has worked closely with personnel from Parks and Recreation and Public works on the issue of graffiti. Based on input from many people the Police Department is making the following recommendations. II Reporting and documentation guidelines should be consistent throughout all city departments. The Police Department will work with Public Works and the Parks and Recreation Departments on standardizing a reporting format. These reports will be forwarded to the Police Department for input into the Records Management System. Public Works and Parks Maintenance personnel will continue to remove graffiti from the public rights-of-way, parks, and greenbelt areas based on availability of manpower and budget restraints. Public Works and Parks Maintenance will continue to itemize per- incident expenditures related to removing graffiti including man-hours, materials and equipment hours. In graffiti cases on private property, a police officer will respond to document and photograph the graffiti The police officer will contact the property owner, issue a notice to the owner to cleanup the graffiti, and provide the property owner with written notice to remove the graffiti within seven (7) days. Educational information is provided to the property owner on how to remove graffiti, vendor contact information and information on obtaining free paint. A follow-up visit is made to ensure the graffiti has been removed. If the graffiti has been removed, the property is in compliance If the graffiti has not been removed, the police officer will forward a copy of the police report to the Animal-Park- Code Enforcement Unit for administrative follow up which includes issuing a summons to court and abatement of the property. In addition, citizens are expressing an interest in volunteering for community programs addressing neighborhood concerns. Using volunteers is a proactive approach used by several municipalities to address property maintenance concerns impacting neighborhoods as a whole. The most commonly used program is the Community Code Advisory Program (CCAP) Volunteers would be provided training by city staff personnel CCAP volunteers will hand out educational notices and information regarding possible violations of nuisance codes, including graffiti, as well as resource information about how to resolve the violation Volunteers will return to the property to check for compliance If the violation is corrected, the volunteer sends a thank-you note If the problem remains, the violations are referred to the Animal-Park-Code Enforcement staff Volunteers will also establish a semi-annual neighborhood graffiti-removal day It will take some time to establish a department volunteer program and train these volunteers but this is certainly a worthwhile approach A Graffiti Hotline is operational and will be monitored by Police Department personnel. The graffiti hotline number is 303-235-2909 and it currently has a voice mail message to contact police dispatch at 303-237-2220 A selection menu will be developed on the Hotline to distribute information on removal procedures, removal companies, reporting and community messages. The Police Department proposes that the City's web page be updated to include an informational page on resources for cleaning materials and removal of graffiti. A web page currently exists, but shows as "under construction" III IV. V Outsourcing graffiti removal can be made available on an as needed basis or on a contract basis instead of using City personnel and resources. The Police Department has contacted two vendors about outsourcing graffiti cleanup. Cabral's Mobile Power Wash charges $75 to respond to the scene and $2 per square foot for graffiti removal A total cost to remove a ten square-foot area painted with graffiti would be $95 Goodbye Graffiti will be providing the department with an estimate on providing contract services for all graffiti cleanup, with the exception of private property on May 2, 2005 It is important to keep in mind the difficulty in determining specific cleanup costs because of the many variables that must be considered such as the size of the area that needs to be cleaned, the location of the graffiti, the type of material being cleaned and the type of paint or marker used. We hope the contract estimate provided by one of the vendors on the costs to cleanup graffiti in the parks, greenbelt, open space and public right-of-ways will assist us in making a cost/benefit determination. Graffiti is an issue that affects the entire city It will take a concentrated effort by Public Works, Park Maintenance, and the Police Department through the approval of the City Council, to reduce this eyesore in our community DB -- () \ 'S tv d'''A~ e,C I tJ j .,,- ":;\\CC~'I ~ '- >' ~V~_ "')- ? - v, WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE A GRAFFITI FREE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE 2005 - I':~ r'A~ '~A ~.., Goodbye Graffiti ™ Denver Office 300 East th Avenue, STE 314 Denver, CO 80203 Phone: 303-831-4747 Fax: 303-785-5363 Toll Free: 1-877-684-4747 www.goodbyegraffiti.com Goodbye Graffiti™ Denver Office #314-300 East y'h Avenue Denver, CO 80203 Phone: 303-831-4747 Fax: 303-785-5363 (j Goodbye Graffiti TM Attention: Chief Dan Brennan City of Wheat Ridge 7500 W. 29th Ave Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 Ph: (303) 235.2932 Fax: (303) 235.2949 Re: Graffiti Removal and Maintenance Proposal for the City of Wheat Ridge Friday, April 29th, 2005 Dear Chief Brennan, It is with great pleasure and excitement that we submit this graffiti removal proposal to the City of Wheat Ridge.

Founded in 1997 in Vancouver, BC, Goodbye Graffiti now has ten offices throughout Canada and the US Goodbye Graffiti™ is the world leader in graffiti removal technology We remove graffiti from any surface anywhere using our complete line of proprietary graffiti removal products. We use custom manufactured graffiti removal vehicles. Our technological innovations include digital ClickOffTM estimate generation, Scratchiti™ Stop Security Film installation and the development of the world's first turn-key graffiti removal franchise opportunity Methodology An integrated route list will be established including all City of Wheat Ridge properties and parks. A small fleet of custom vehicles will patrol the entire Route List inspecting all designated properties for graffiti. We will employ dedicated Certified Graffiti Removal Technicians running daily routes who will identify the graffiti, photograph it, store the particulars of it in our database, and then either remove it (One Step - 90% of cases) or (as directed by the Project Manager) order a Graffiti Removal Truck to follow up with restoration equipment then remove it (Two Step) The Certified Graffiti Removal Technicians with these vehicles are the foundation of our ability to provide fast, exceptional service for such a large area. All Graffiti Technicians wear uniforms, _ have personal tools and safety equipment, and are shining examples of our professionalism and consistency We certify all our Graffiti Technicians using an intense training program. Once they score more than 90% on the final exam, they are given their certification and are capable of operating the War Wagons Th1 and cleaning more than 75 marker types off of over 50 different substrates. We guarantee 100% removal 1 00% of the time with no damage to any substrate on all untouched graffiti, Because of our extensive experience we always do it right, the first time, every time In eight years, and after over 5 million removals, we have developed a complex system that is inexpensive, fast, efficient, non-destructive, and environmentally sustainable At Goodbye Graffiti™ we created our own trucks 0Nar Wagons Th1), graffiti removers, and graffiti management system (ClickOff™). This system allows communities such as Wheat Ridge to get professional graffiti removal services, at reasonable prices, using state of the art environmental and operational technologies. Condensed Removal Guide. Sacrificial Coating - Our GP1 000 sacrificial wax based, water bome coating allows for a more environmentally friendly graffiti removal approach. Once a coating is applied, the amount of products used is decreased tremendously and therefore yields zero impact to the environment and buildings. Page 4 Spray Paint Bomb - With a quick patch test, our Graffiti Technician will apply either one of 15 proprietary products and then gently wash the graffiti away Marker Tag - After identifying the marker type, the GT will utilize one of several wipe-on liquid graffiti removal products. This team of environmentally friendly squirt and wipe products can handle all paint and marker types. Stickers - A special blade is used for sticker removal. This is followed up with the application of an adhesive remover Paint Restoration - Surface preparation, masking, and hand application of paint as required. All colors will be packed in spray cans for small touch-ups when required. Full restoration will be done on required areas. Posters - Remove with non-abrasive techniques and collected for disposal. Certified Graffiti Removal Technicians Our Graffiti Technicians from across Canada and the US are trained at the Goodbye Graffiti™ headquarters in Vancouver, BC After initial interviews and reference checks, GTs are trained using an intensive training and apprenticeship program. The training program encompasses all systems, equipment, operations, duties, codes of conduct and responsibilities of a Level 1 Graffiti Removal Technician. A 125 page GT manual is provided to each trainee and is fully reviewed in a classroom setting. Practical training is also provided using our porous and non-porous training and testing walls. A 2-hour written examination and a two-day practical test with a minimum of 90% passing grade are required elements for each graduate. - Some of the specific areas of training include. o Graffiti Technician contract, responsibilities and code of conduct o Vehicle care and operation o GT toolkit and sundry equipment care and operation o Substrate identification and composition o Paint and ink marker identification and composition o Customer service and working with the public o Graffiti removal guide o Graffiti restoration guide o Personal safety o Driving safety o Fall protection safety o Operations and administration o Warehouse operations o Goodbye Graffiti™ database Successful graduates who have accumulated sufficient experience are encouraged to take on managerial or supervisory roles such as Ever Clean Administrator, BIA Administrator or Contract Operations Administrator, thereby assuming a Level 2 Jraffiti Technician role Each GT represent Goodbye Graffiti™ as an ambassador of our company Page 5 The Launch of the Green Machine™ Our newest graffiti removal vehicle will allow us to filter and reuse water ALL DAY LONG, then dispose of it properly at the end of the day This vehicle is in the prototype stage but, when completed, it will revolutionize the graffiti removal industry. We are proud to be developing the first such graffiti removal technology available anywhere in the world. Our Ever Clean ™ Program Over the last eight years, Goodbye Graffrtf™,s Ever Clean TM Program has become the accepted solution for property owners, managers and municipal governments who wish to solve their graffiti vandalism problems. Ever Clean TM is a zero tolerance based approach that is currently being used in tens of thousands of sites and equipment across North America. With Ever Clean™, Goodbye Graffiti™ uses a program of weekly patrols and guaranteed removals to eliminate all existing graffiti and keep it off through constant vigilance and quick, complete removals of any new graffiti. Monthly service summaries with digital photos allow clients to assess the progress of the program and to easily quantify the benefits and savings on a site by site basis. Hiohliahts of our Ever Clean TM Proaram. o Weekly patrol of the entire City of Wheat Ridge sites o Removal of all graffiti from buildings up to a height of 10 feet from the ground, including all labour and materials o Unlimited on-call service for all graffiti with 36 hour response time (weather permitting) o Monthly service summaries via em ail showing all work done and digital pictures of all graffiti removed during the month. - No Blasting Techniques Goodbye Graffiti™ does not use sand blasting, soda blasting, or high-pressure washing - all of which will permanently deface property and leave visible graffiti. Instead, our Certified Graffiti Technicians use their training and experience, along with our proprietary line of graffiti removal products, to remove all traces of graffiti without damaging the property. Time Frame for Removal Racial or Hate Graffiti: Graffiti Report: Identified on weekly patrols: within 2 hours of notification within 36 hours of notification immediately Response Time Removing Messages of Hate As mentioned above, we will response in 2 hours for all racial or hate graffiti. Some graffiti does require two days to remove, but the first application will ideally happen within 2 hours. Also, it is, and has always been, the policy of Goodbye Graffiti™ to remove any hate graffiti for free for anyone inside our main markets. This would include any public or City of Wheat Ridge property This has become an excellent way for us to give back to the communities that have supported us. Page 6 Communication with Law Enforcement We have, and always will, make our best efforts to help the police in any way we can. Company representatives frequently co-present with Police Officers at business luncheons and crime prevention events. We have also made our picture archives (over 3 million photos) available to the police when they request it. Utilization of Environmentally Safe Products We produce many of our products for graffiti removal in-house in our plant in Vancouver, BC Our zero impact systems have not only some of the greenest products manufactured but we also use them in such a way to have zero impact on the environment. Our GTs are trained on product use, water care, recycling and product conservation. The War Wagon TM vehicles use hot water for fast, efficient cleaning and our sacrificial coating systems can allow for quick and clean removals while using no graffiti removal products at all. All MSDS and Technical Data Sheets are available. We are proud of both their effectiveness and their environmental characteristics. To date we have invested more than $1,000,000 developing cleaner technologies and we are pioneering better applications ~ n I' _, ~., ~ .. ~ everyday. ....- '1 /I - Use of Graffiti Proof Coating - The Green Building We have perfected a sacrificial wax based, water bome coating called GP1000. This coating is applied to the surface using a rag, brush or roller It is invisible when it dries, and it often allows us to wipe off the graffiti with little or no damage to the substrate. Then we simply reapply the coating at no extra charge. We use this coating with our Ever Clean TM program to provide a zero impact, environmentally friendly solution to graffiti - The Green Building Program. When our sacrificial coating is present on a substrate, the amount of graffiti removal products used is reduced tremendously This means fewer chemicals are exposed into the environment. The sacrificial coating stops the ink or paint from penetrating deep into the substrate allowing for quicker removals. The GP1000 coating will be used on selected City of Wheat Ridge sites. This product is used on bare porous surfaces, such as heritage buildings, to preserve the original finishing. Quality Assurance All City of Wheat Ridge sites are set up in ClickOff™ Data related to address, intersection, paint colors, traffic pattems, cleaning guidelines etc. is all loaded into our database. This allows us to track the frequency of service activity on the equipment as well as making it part of a patrol route. Page 7 The purpose of auditing Graffiti Technicians' work is to ensure all aspects performed are consistent with Goodbye Graffrti™ standards. A pass or fail grade is given after inspecting the employees' submitted daily work performed. 3 separate failing grades (less than 75%) are reason for employment termination. Audit aspects include quality of work, site condition and thoroughness. The Technician begins with 10 marks and one mark is deducted for each defect. Examples of defects include improper poultices, omissions of wet paint signs and failed removals. One-on-one audit reviews are performed immediately after grading has occurred. Grades are to be posted on the Audit scorecard located in the GT room Profit Sharing and annual bonuses are often calculated using these audits. _ :;. ..... - - *- -~ ClickOff™ - A Powerful Tool JDI!W....71l ..(f;lJljl;f;..l...;1U _Jv.')!b..-....-.np.........01 The GTs record all our technical data, removal information, site information, and service logs, including pictures, each day This allows for online delivery of these reports directly to our clients. This also allows us to track the trends of graffiti by site and item (each lamp post). Graffiti can be tracked by item, by area or for overall trends.

I City of Wheat Ridge Community Development Department Memorandum TO: City CouncIl FROM: Alan White, Community Development Dlr!7tor ~ Tim Paranto, Public WorKs Director 1 ~ SUBJECT: Public Improvements DATE: April 27, 2005 This subject was brought before City Council at a study session on January 31,2005. At that time staff presented the dilemma it is faced with in administering conflicting regulations. These regulations are contained in the Building Regulations (Chapter 5) and in the Zoning and Development Regulations (Chapter 26). While the conflict in the two codes concerns how much the City can require for escrow, the primary issue Involves whether to require the construction of public improvements (principally curb, gutter, and sidewalk) in conjunction with all new construction. Council dIrected staff to look at alternatIves and present them at a future study session. The Larger Issue - Who Should Pay for Public Improvements? - It IS difficult for staff to develop alternatives WIthout the overall policy being decided. The question that needs to be answered is. Who should pay for public improvements - those who benefit, or the City at large? Or is there some combInatIOn of the two? Policy Considerations . The current escrow system is cumbersome and sImply is not worth the time to admInister it. · Construction may not be feasible or practical with all new construction . The payment In lieu of construction has a simIlar drawback, except the City can hold the funds in perpetuity. · Chapter 10 of the Code of Laws empowers the CIty Council to create speCIal or local Improvement districts for the construction of sidewalks, draInage, and storm sewer systems. · Exempting all constructIOn from the construction of public improvements burdens all taxpayers in the City. Construction of public improvements is a given with most major proJects and developers expect it. They increasingly ask for some amount of public subsidy, however · Should every street in the City have curb, gutter and sidewalk? Alternatives There are three basic alternatives Require construction or payment III lieu of construction of public improvements 2. Escrow funds for a penod of years to provIde fundIng of public improvements 3. Do not reqUIre the improvements Each alternatIve has pros and cons. AlternatIve 1 raises the question of equity. Currently, someone building a new house must pay whIle the rest of the block has improvements Installed as part of a future City capital project. There are practIcal difficulties In constructing improvements when they don't connect to any other improvements. If the City were to embark on a program of construction by assessment of costs through special Improvement districts, equity would be maIntaIned. AlternatIVe 2 is the system we are under now. The same eqUIty Issue arises In the event the City ever uses the escrowed funds. CIty staff has to monitor the escrow for up to ten years. Owners are extremely upset when they are told they won't receive any interest on the funds deposited with the City. Alternative 3 lets new construction off the hook. There may be Sizeable Impacts of a new development, and for the City to construct the improvements is unfair to the taxpayers and, with larger proJects, unrealistic The 500-foot measurement to exempt properties IS, as far as we can tell, arbitrary Recommended Action - 1 The City Council should determine the priority of curb, gutter ancl/or SIdewalk throughout the CIty. 2. The City CouncIl should determine what, if any, share of publIc Improvement costs are borne by the City. City participatIOn may be different, dependIng on the level of development or kind of development. 3. Staff wIll develop options to implement the City CouncIl polICies for presentation at a Study Session STUDY SESSION May 2, 2005 Item 4, - ~~ ....- .--- --' ,-- MEMORANDUM City of 'W'heat. Ridge Department 01 Public Wurks TO: ~~ Randy Young, City Manag FROM: Tim Paranto, Director of Public Works DATE: April 25, 2005 SUBJECT: Fleet Replacement & Service Interval Schedules The City Council, at its January 24, 2005 City Council Meeting, requested that the City policies concerning fleet replacement and vehicle service schedules be reviewed by Staff and the results discussed at a future City Council Study Session The attached tables and graphs provide a comparison of schedules available from a cross-section of area municipalities The most pertinent information regarding fleet replacement intervals was found in a survey conducted in 2000 by the Rocky Mountain Fleet Management Association Unfortunately, the contents of this data reflect only the maximum number of years before replacement, and do not include mileage and other criteria. Data regarding fleet service intervals was obtained by telephone survey - Recommendation for Fleet Replacement Schedules: Based upon the information obtained, it is recommended that the City's current fleet replacement schedule remain unchanged The City's current replacement schedule is similar to other municipalities surveyed and uses several guidelines, including age of unit. While not discussed in this memorandum, the leasing of fleet vehicles has been reviewed periodically and found to be more costly than purchasing vehicles, and not generally practiced among governmental entities Recommendations for Fleet Service Interval Schedules: It is recommended that service intervals for all marked police patrol vehicles remain at 3,000 miles The survey indicated that three out of the five municipalities serviced marked police vehicles at 3,000 mile intervals In light of the survey data results and higher vehicle standards, it is recommended that service intervals for all un-marked police vehicles, light, medium and heavy duty trucks and vans and administrative sedans be increased to 4,000 miles While the preventive service interval for heavy equipment is less frequent than the municipalities surveyed, a review of repair records does not indicate unusual equipment failures associated with items serviced during preventive maintenance It is recommended that service intervals for heavy equipment remain at 250 hours Q) ~ Q) Ol ~ :2 0 r:r 0 m '" E Q) .S!

The following hst of reasons are used in determining if replacement is warranted. REASONS FOR REPLACEMENT I High and/or rising maintenance/repair costs. 2. High and/or rising operating cests (fuel economy). 3. Excessive downtime. 4. Past useful service, technological, or economical life (see definitions below). 5. Parts/service no longer available. 6. Federal, State and/or Local requirements render unit not legally usable. 7 Overall mechanical condition. 8. Overall physical appearance. 9. User distrust and/or dissatisfaction due to perceived unsafe condition of vehicle based on high mileage. 10 Poor utilization (unit too big/too small for job, seasonal use only, etc.). A unit that has no other deficiencies other than poor utilization will be moved within the fleet rather than deleted, if possible. DEFlNITIONS $en-ice Life: Refers to the amount of time a unit is capable of operating and rendering service. This life may be nearly infinite if the unit receives adequate maintenance and worn out parts are dutifully replaced.
