States are required to comply or suffer fiscal penalties. The State of Colorado has been one of the leaders in sex offender legislation and the City of Wheat Ridge has had a model sex offender registration program. The Adam Walsh Act will require modification to the State laws and increased responsibilities by local jurisdictions. It is anticipated that the Colorado legislature will adopt this federal requirement as state law by July 1, 2009. The Federal Government has not allocated any funding for agencies to become compliant with the mandate. In brief, the Adam Walsh Act expands existing laws regarding sex offenders. The number of persons required to register as sex offenders will increase as the Act makes no provision for the exclusion of prior convictions. The frequency of registration for certain classes of offenders also increases. Currently, sex offenders register their residential information. The Adam Walsh Act requires sex offenders to register where they work or attend school, thereby increasing the instances of registration. . Under the Act, sex offenders are placed into one of three "tiers". The frequency ofregistration and re-registration is governed by the "tier" of the offender. The type of community notification is also governed by the tier of offender. The notifications will range from the Community Notification Meeting currently required for Sexually Violent Predators to videotaped presentations, internet notifications, and mailings. It is anticipated that the Act will impact current practices and require additional staff resources and additional personnel to comply with the provisions of the Act. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES: 1) The Wheat Ridge Police Department has already made affirmative efforts in the area of sex offender registration and has an effective system regarding sex offender management. Staff Report - Adam Wabh Act and the Impact on WRPD July 24, 200~ Page .2 The impact of the Adam Walsh Act may be somewhat lessened due to the steps and actions already in place. The impact anticipated by many other agencies is based on having to implement a Sex Offender verification program (we currently have one) and the investigatory impact this will have when violations are discovered. The activities and practices regarding sex offender management vary widely among agencies. The current law is itself complex and often misunderstood. 2) The Adam Walsh Act organizes sex offender classification into three Tiers. Classification is based solely on the offense of conviction and an offender's likelihood to reoffend will no longer be considered. Registration and verification duties: Tier I: registration duties last 15 years for adults, 10 years for juveniles; Ill-person verification at the county sheriff's office is required annually. Tier II: registration duties last 25 years for adults, 20 years for juveniles; Ill-person verification is required every 180 days. Tier ill: registration duties last a lifetime for adults and for juveniles; Ill-person verification is required every 90 days. 3) Currently, a technician is assigned to work approximately 20 hours per week in sex offender registration. As part of their regular assignment, one of our detectives is responsible for investigating felony crimes against persons as well as the follow up investigation of sex offender cases. This brings us into compliance with existing state law. 4) The Adam Walsh Act substantially increases the amount of information that must be collected from registrants. In effect, a quarterly registration will take the same amount of time as a new registration. We predict that our time spent in registration will triple as a result. There are currently 116 sex offenders in Wheat Ridge. Ofthese, 79 are currently required to register annually. It is anticipated that 65 to 70 of these offenders will be re- classified and will have to register twice each year. The Act does not exclude offenses committed prior to the adoption of the Act. In Colorado, offenses committed before a certain date (July 1, 1991) are excluded from registration requirements. These persons will now be required to register as well. The number of people this affects is unknown but is likely to be significant. 5) In the past, juvenile offenders were not required to register as sex offenders. With the Adam Walsh Act, juveniles who are age 14 or older at the time of their offense can be classified as sex offenders and will be required to register. If an offender is adjudicated for a sex offense before they are 14, and commits another sex offense after they are 14, they will be considered a repeat offender. 6) The federally mandated legislation of the Adam Walsh Act will result in an increase in the number of offenders required to register, increased registration requirements, increased number of community notifications, and an increase in the number of offenders prosecuted for not complying with the statutes. Staff Rc.:port - Adam Walsh Act and the Impact on WRPD July 24, 200~ Page 3 7) By way of comparison, the Lakewood Police Department is proposing a unit consisting of three registration clerks, one clerical technician, one criminal history technician, one sergeant, and 2-4 detectives (8-10 positions) to meet their requirements under the Act. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Wheat Ridge Police Departuaent estimates that the Adam Walsh Act will require at least an additional 20 hours per week of technician time to become compliant with the new Federal requirements in 2009. While there will also be an increase in the workload of a persons team detective, it is not expected initially to be as significant as the increase in administrative duties. At this time, however, we are not sure of the overall impact this new legislation will have on the detective's workload. The detective's workload will need to be assessed as time goes on to determine if the department can manage the increased workload and remain compliant in the future. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: 1) Ignore the statutory requirements and prepare for the negative consequences of failing to comply with Federal Law. 2) Fund the additional expenses of staffing to accommodate and comply with Federal Law. RECOMMENDATION: The departuaent will bring to City Council any proposals for additional hours for an existing position in 2009 as a budget supplemental request once the new legislation is enacted. Currently, we predict the need for a .25 FTE for 2009 and .50 FTE for 2010 for sex offender registration; however, we will need to see the flllal version of any legislative action before a firm course of action can be taken.

Persons shou\d not rely solely on the S€'t offender registry as a safeguard against perpetrators of sexual assault in their communi- ties. The crime for which a person is convicted may not aCCllrateiy reflect the ieve\ of nsk. Knowledge is powerl Interesting Statistics At least 1:5 girls 8: 1:7 boys are sexually abused by the age of 18. (Finkelhor, 1994) In Colorado, 1:4 women 8: 1:17 men have experi- enced a completed or attempted sexual assault. (Behavioral Risk Factor SurveiUance System, 1998) There are 11,287 registered sex offenders in Colorado. (CSl04/07) Young boys are at equal risk as young girts to be assaulted. Young victims who know their perpetrator are the least likely to report the crime. 1 in 5 adult women (19%) reported their rapes to police. (Tjaden and Thoennes 2006) Most juvenile sex offenders are male, age 13-17. (Safer Society, 1991) Juveniles commit 20-30% of all rapes & 30.60% of aU child molestations. Sex Offender Characteristics Most Sex Offenders: . Are not severely mentally ill . Are 'good' probationers/parolees/inmates . Are educated and employed . Are in relationships . Seem 'low risk' . Do not 'grow out of it' - --_.--~----------.() Common Myths Victim Impact Effects on victims can include depression, anxiety, eating disorders, divorce, loss of sexual interest, loss of concentration, sleep- ing disorders, suicide. (Rape in America 1992) Myth: The typical assaililnt is a 'dangerous stranger'. Fact: Most sexual assaults are commit- ted by someone known to thE' victim or the victim's family, regardless of whether the victim is a child or an adult. 90% of children victims under age 12 knew their perpetrator. (80J Stats, 1997) Victims exhibit many different responses. There is no I normal' response. Myth: Assaults occur in 'dangerous' places. Fact: Assaults toke place in many places, most commonly in 'safe' places such as one's own home (or relative's/ friend's home, work place). Sex assault by someone known to the victim creates a more difficult recovery. Responses are minimized when victims are BELIEVED AND SUPPORTED. Myth: Victims who suffer no obvious physical injury are not seriously trau~ mati zed by their experience. Fact: Only about 4% of rape victims sustained serious physical injuries as a result of rape. 70% reported no physical injuries. All victims suffer significant psychological &- emotional trauma; ap- proximately one-third suffer from Post- traumatic Stress Disorder. (Rape in America, 1992) Sex offenders come from all backgrounds, ages, ethnic groups, income levels and profes~ sions. Many have NO criminal record and have never been arrested for a sex crime. Most sex offenders seem polite, friendly, cooperative, helpful, caring, considerate and likable. There is no such thing as a 'typical sex of- fender', but all tend to be manipulative, de- ceptive and secretive. They usually do not commit their offenses impulsively. They em- ploy careful planning, sometimes over years, 'preying' on victims. Myth: The majority of sexuill offend- ers are caught, convictecll and in prison. Fact: Only a fraction of those who com- mit sexual assault are apprehended and convicted for their crimes. Most con- victed sex offenders are eventually released into the community. 60% are under probation or parole supervision. 7500 W. 29th Avenue Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 303-235-2952 (Registrations) 303-235-2949 (Fax) scarter@ci.wheatridge.co.us ~WheatRi:9ge POLICE DEPARTMENT WHEAT RIDGE POLICE DEPARTMENT SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION FORM PLEASE CHECK THE BOX (ES) THAT APPLY: (CRIMINAL JUSTICE ONLY) D Initial Registration (courts, or local Jaw enforcement if registrant is from out of state) o Pre-Sentence Investigation (probation only) """"i8l Registration Confirmation (loeallaw enforcement agencies and the DOCfDHS) ORe-Registration (local Jaw enforcement agencies only) o Registration Cancellation (local law enforcement aQencies only) 7500 W. 29th Avenue Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 303-235-2952 Registrations 303,235.2949 (Fax) I.OEMOGRAPHIC'INFOBMAT10W....... .

Brennan, Chief of Police'V\"" FROM: Fred Bright, Property Team Sergeant Investigations Bureau DATE: July 24,2008 SUBJECT: Staff Report - Impact of New Evidence Legislation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The preservation of evidence is a fundamental responsibility of the Police Department. In recent years, the use of DNA evidence has become a critical law enforcement tool. DNA evidence can link a known suspect to a crime, identify a suspect that would otherwise be unknown, or clear someone from suspicion. Technological advances allow for DNA profiles to be developed from extremely small samples. An item need not be visibly contaminated with blood or other bodily fluid for DNA evidence to be present. In May 2008, House Sill 1387 was signed into law. The law addresses DNA and the preservation of evidence. The law became effective immediately and includes all evidence currently in custody of law enforcement. The law is intended to create standardized practices regarding the disposition of evidence. The State did not allocate any funding for the implementation of this law. The standards created by this legislation significantly affect prior practices regarding the disposition of evidence. It is anticipated that this law will substantially increase the amount of evidence held by the police department, causing issues regarding both storage space and the environmental requirements for evidence storage areas. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES: The law requires that evidence that may contain DNA be preserved for the life of the defendant for Class 1 felonies and most sex crimes. Evidence that may contain DNA for other crimes where a conviction was obtained requires the DA's office to approve the disposition and allows a gO-day period for the defendant and/or defense counsel to object to the disposition of evidence. Evidence that may contain DNA for crimes where no arrest or conviction was made is mandated to be held for the statute of limitations for the offense. One significant impact of this legislation is that collected evidence must be held for Staff Report - Impact of New Evidence Legislation July 24, 2008 Page 2 longer periods of time. For example, evidence from felonies that had previously been disposed of after one year must now be held through the statute of limitations, a minimum of three years, and in some cases, even longer. Further, the requirement to allow 90 days for a defense motion to order evidence to be held by the police department, combined by the administrative backlog at the district attorney's office to process these requests, will add 4-6 months to the time to dispose of evidence where a conviction has been obtained. Evidence that may contain DNA is to be maintained according to best practices, which includes that such evidence be maintained in a climate controlled setting. With the advances in technology, the vast majority of items taken as evidence are impacted by the new law since DNA may be recovered from virtually any item. As a practical matter, this means that all evidence containing DNA must be preserved in a climate-controlled setting, so that the DNA does not degrade. The evidence building located at the Public Works Shops is not climate controlled for excess heat or humidity. The majority of evidence from homicides and sexual assaults is kept in this building. As the amount of DNA evidence submitted to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation increases, the number of "DNA Packets" returned from CBI will increase as well. These packets are stored in a freezer. The current freezer is rapidly reaching full capacity. In 2007, the police department had approximately 13,500 items in evidence. Over the course of the year, we took in 6,500 pieces of evidence and disposed of 8,600 items of evidence. Staff estimates that an additional 1,300 items of evidence will be held indefinitely each year due to cases where evidence must be held until the death of the offender, primarily felony sex crimes. Clearly, the new legislation will have an accumulative effect on evidence storage. Based on this information, we estimate that the amount of evidence held by the police department will triple in the next three years. The growth of total evidence items will then continue to grow at a rate of approximately 1,300 items per year. We further predict that the main evidence room at the municipal building will be full within 2-3 months. The Shops Evidence Building, as currently equipped, is expected to reach full capacity sometime in late 2008 or early 2009. PERSQNNEL IMPACT No immediate personnel impact regarding evidence staff is anticipated at this time. The amount of evidence being taken in is not likely to change, and the maintenance of increased evidence will not significantly impact staff time. In 2010 and 2011, staffing concerns may need to be reassessed. At that time, many items of evidence may become eligible for disposition. We currently contract for CSI services via the Lakewood Crime Lab. It is likely that the request for lab services will increase as items are submitted for DNA processing in order to be able to return items to the victims of crime that may have been handled by the suspect. The impact this will have on the Lakewood Lab staff is unknown at this time, but may be mitigated as patrol officers are trained to collect DNA evidence themselves. Staff Report - Impact of New Evidence Legislation July 24, 2008 Page 3 FINANCIAL IMPACT: Installation of climate controls at the Shops Evidence Building is expected to cost approximately $40,000.00. The storage capacity of the Shops Evidence Building can be substantially increased by installing a mobile shelving system, similar to the system currently used in the Evidence Room. Estimated cost of such shelving is approximately $34,500.00. The cost for an additional evidence refrigerator and freezer to store DNA packets is approximately $7,000.00. The total financial impact is approximately $81,500.00. This does not consider the future possibility of adding staff. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: 1. Lease climate-controlled warehouse space for the storage of evidence. 2. Lease office space and convert an existing City facility to an evidence storage facility. RECOMMENDATION: When the evidence storage facility at the Public Works site was approved, the department anticipated that it would meet our immediate and long term storage needs. The recent changes in law regarding the storage and preservation of evidence has changed that presumption. Staff recommends that funds be budgeted in 2(}09 to install an additional laboratory quality refrigerator/freezer, climate control system, and space saver shelving at the Shops Evidence Building. Staff will continue to monitor the department's evidence storage needs to determine when additional space may be required in the future.

The letter signed by the Mayor and City Council included backup materials related to the fllldings of the D.I.RT. Task Force and project information and maps related to the proposed infrastructure projects. . A Community Improvements Planning Update brochure was mailed to all likely voters (9,577 households) in the community during the second week of May. The brochure contained information about the proposed projects and provided voters with information on how to provide their input. . A second Community Improvements Planning Update brochure was mailed to all likely voters (9,577 households) in the community during the third week of May. The brochure again included information about the proposed projects and in addition, information concerning the proposed charter change in reference to height and density. . On June 5th, a Recreation Center Expansion Open House was held to provide residents the opportunity to view proposed expansion plans for the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center and to ask questions of and provide input to staff and the architects of Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture. . A Public Opinion Survey was mailed to 9,577 households in Wheat Ridge at the end of May. The survey asked questions of residents concerning their understanding of and level of support for the four proposed infrastructure projects and the proposed charter change related to height and density. 1,755 surveys were completed and returned. . A Phone Poll was conducted between July 13th and July 15th - 404 residents were contacted by phone to determine their level of support for the proposed infrastructure projects and charter change. .

Baum & Company Joshua A. Magden Vice President Colorado Public Finance 303.391.5500 Phone magden@gkbaum.com INVESTMENT BANKERS SINCE 1928 DATE: July 30, 200S MEMO TO: Wheat Ridge City Council RE: Polling Results & Commentary FROM: Josh Magden The City of Wheat Ridge conducted a mail survey in June of this year. The survey was sent to all active voter households in the city. This survey was followed by a public opinion phone poll conducted by Hill Research Consultants in July. The phone poll surveyed 400 registered Wheat Ridge voters, who represent a random sampling of the group of voters expected to vote in the November election. Themail survey and phone poll tested voters' attitudes and opinions regarding the City's four proposed measures for the November 200S ballot. More than 1,700 written surveys were returned. Following is a breakdown of the level of support for the four ballot measures among respondents to this survey: . drainage question - 74% . 3S" Avenue projects - 60% . recreation center expansion - 530/0 . height! density charter change - 47% Respondents to the written survey fell heavily into the long-term resident category, with a majority of the returned surveys coming from people who had lived in Wheat Ridge for 15 years or more. Those responding to the written survey were also residents who had received previous newsletters and planning updates from the City. The phone poll conducted two weeks ago showed that Wheat Ridge voters are overwhelmingly positive on the work done by the mayor and city council, the communication by Wheat Ridge city government and its efforts to inform them. For example, 63% of those polled "approve" of the job that the mayor and city council are doing. And 60% of those polled believe that Wheat Ridge is going in the right direction, with only 2S% who believe the city is on the wrong track. The responses also indicate that Wheat Ridge voters like the concept of the drainage and 3S" Avenue projects. With regard to the drainage projects, 63% support storm drainage improvements and 52% support improvements to 3S'h Avenue. \ \ i. , \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \. \ \ However, when asked if they were willing to pay for those projects, the percentages decreased to 40% and 37% respectively. This drop in support was not necessarily due to a concern over the tax impact, but rather the state of the economy. In fact, 59% of the electorate indicated that they were either "not at all concerned", "not very concerned" or "somewhat concerned" about the tax impact of the various measures (only 40% indicated that they were "very concerned" or "extremely concerned"). A further consideration when comparing the written survey results with the phone poll results is the complexity of the projects and trying to get at core issues with the phone poll questions. The phone poll was 52 questions in total, and the concepts being communicated are not necessarily simple or straightforward. In a very interesting contrast with respondents to the written survey, 71 % of those polled in the phone survey knew "nothing" or "only a litde" about the possible bond measures. Both surveys indicate that of the three potential bond measures, the recreation center expansion has the lowest public support. This is not unexpected in the current economy. A common theme across many polls we have conducted over the past 6-12 months is that the voting public is concerned with only essential projects and also with economic self-preservation. Projects that protect property values, encourage commercial development, or increase business investment seem to show favorably among voters. Another common factor between the two surveys is that the height/ density charter amendment is a complicated - and therefore misunderstood - proposal. While it very well may be the key to allowing for infilI development, increasing the commercial property tax base and attracting new business to Wheat Ridge, voters are still unclear on those merits. The messaging related to such a proposal therefore needs to be streamlined and the benefits easier to convey to the average voter. Likewise, the cost of the three bond proposals is fairly small to taxpayers, and that fact may in part be lost in a phone poll versus a written/print format where it's easier to show the minimal amount of the tax increase and the benefit Wheat Ridge residents will derive from the projects. While voters will turn out in record numbers this election, and that turnout will likely consist of voters who are supportive of these types of projects, the economy will have voters worried. Rising gas and food prices, statewide ballot initiatives, the local and national economy and the housing market all weigh in voters' decision-making. In the face of all these larger issues, however, the key is to keep the focus local. These projects, or some variation, may serve to act as an economic preservation plan for Wheat Ridge. They will serve to help maintain the City's position by protecting property and property values and stimulating business investment in the community. The City should analyze these needs and tread cautiously given the national economy, but voter opinion of the City and its efforts is strong and with further education voters may very well support these ballot measures. \ \ \ i \ \ , \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ , \ \ rrEM 3.

Savings Account For Education, PO Box 300487, Denver, CO 80203 www.coloradosafe.arg.info@coloradosafe.org. 303-960-6234 WR2020 SUPPORTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPJllli:NT STIJIIIULUS BOND MEASURES AND CHARTER CHANGE QUESTIONS ~DGE 2020 Partners in a Vibrant Wheat Ridge Dear Mayor DiTullio, and Members of Wheat Ridge City Council, WR2020 understands that at tonight's Study Session you will discuss ballot measures for consideration by the voters for the November 2008 election. These ballot questions relate to bond measures for economic development stimulus projects and potential Charter policy changes. The Bond Measures are for the following: . Flood control and drainage improvements. . Streetscape improvements on 38th Avenue from Harlan to Wadsworth Bivd. . Expansion oflhe Recreation Center. . Street Reconstruction on 38th Avenue from Kipling to Youngfield. The Charter measure is for: . A City Charter change to take the height and density restrictions out of the Charter and have them placed and maintained in the appropriate section of the City Code of Laws and Zoning Codes. These measures are important to the success of the NRS and our community's long term sustain ability. The Bond measures are supportive to community investment. Investments in infrastructure promote business development and attract homeowners by providing the needs for business growth and community resources to our businesses and citizens. Having the funding to invest in our community is critical to our community's sustainability and ability to attract vested stakeholder families. Please vote to put ail the bond measures on the November ballot to enable investment in our community. Removing height and density restrictions from the Charter has a direct impact on implementing the goals of the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS) by allowing the City Council and our citizens to openly determine how to foster redevelopment in our community. Removing height and density restrictions from the Charter gives City Council and the voters an opportunity to determine the appropriate limitations through approval of changes in the Zoning Code. Placing the restrictions in the City Zoning Code and removing them from the City Charter allows Council and the Citizens to make potentiai policy changes that will enhance redevelopment opportunities within the City, and meet the goals set in the NRS. WR2020 supports removai of the height and density limitations from the Charter for the following reasons: . The practice of having height and density limits in a City Charter is rare in municipal governance nationally. Almost all communities use zoning codes for this type of regulation. . The current Wheat Ridge Charter limitations of height and density are much more restrictive than neighboring communities. . Removing the restrictions from the Charter and maintaining them in our Zoning Code has the same legal effect in safeguarding the community from unrestricted development limitations with respect to height and density. . Placing height and density restrictions in the Zoning Code allows for public participation if any changes are proposed. WR2020 sincerely appreciates the consideration of the Mayor and City Council to support the economic development package and having it placed on the ballot so that we can attract investment to our community, execute our economic deveiopment plan, and add to the vibrancy and sustainability of our community. Please place the entire package on the ballot for the citizens to consider this November. Sincerely, Robert J. Osborn, Esq.
