Mr DiTullio stated that he had been advised by the City Attorney to disclose that he has
a family member who is an employee of the City He made this disclosure as required
by Charter Section 3 14 He asked the City Attorney to comment on the need for this
disclosure
Mr Dahl stated that Charter Section 3 14 only requires disclosure of the facts, which
may be a conflict. In this case, the action before the Council is the entire City budget
document. In this context, the vote on the matter will not be on any specific salary The
circumstance has come up in previous years with family members who are City
employees The City, like the State and most municipalities, does not have any "anti-
nepotism" law, which would prevent family members from being City employees He
concluded that, while the disclosure is required, now that it has been made, Council
Member DiTullio is entitled to vote on the budget.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An intergovernmental cooperation agreement (IGA) must be entered into with the county and other
municipalities every three years to qualify as an "entitled" beneficiary of community development
block grant funds from the United States Department of Housmg and Urban Development.
If a new IGA is not required, the agreement is automatically renewed for an additIOnal three year
qualificatIon period unless a participating city or the county provides wntten notice that it not longer
selects to participate in a new qualification period. Termination can only occur at the end of each
three-year period.
The IGA was last adopted by City Council in February, 1997 and has automatically renewed every
three years since. A number of changes to the IGA are being recommended requiring the City to adopt
a new agreement.
The City of Wheat Ridge first entered into the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement to
participate in the CDBG Program in 1993 Since that time, the City has received approximately
$792,694 in CDBG funding and up to $225,000 of HOME Program funds.
The proposed IGA affects the Council's goals of creating a sustainable government, preparing the city
of growth and opportunities, and develop strong partnerships between city and community.
Depending on use of CDBG funding, additional goals may be affected.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Staff from each of the participating jurisdictions have collaborated over the past year and are
proposing a number of changes to the 1997 Amended IGA. Those changes include:
Removal ofthe General Allocation Fund: Under previous IGA's, the annual funding was distributed
into three categories: 20% to the County for administration, 56% into jurisdictional allocations, and
24% into the general allocations. General allocations were allocated on a competitive basis between
the participatmg jurisdictions. Removal of the general allocation fund will mcrease the city's
jurisdictional allocation by approximately 50%.
Application and Approval Process: Participatmg jurisdictions will be required to submit project
applications to the Community Development Advisory Board. The Board will evaluate the application
using the criteria set forth in the Five Year Consolidated Plan as required by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development. Higher pnority shall be given to eligible proposals submitted by
the participating jurisdictions.
--
Advisory Board Membership The membership of the Community Development AdVISOry Board shall
include at least one member selected from each participating jurisdiction. The City of Wheat Ridge did
not have previous representation on the Board. This modification was implemented during 2004
although it had not been ratified by the participating jurisdictIOns.
The net affect of the changes will be to eliminate competition for funds between the participating
jurisdictions and provide for greater involvement by the cities. City representation on the Advisory
Board will provide city oversight mto the application approval process.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
Staff considered not participating in the IGA and rather to apply for grants under the small cities or
state CDBG programs. This alternative would restrict use of the funds to that of existing state
programs and would not allow for maximum use based on the needs of the city.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
CommunIty Development Block Grant funds do not require matching funds. All funding assists the
city in achieving its goals for redevelopment.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to adopt ResolutIOn No. 50-2005 approving an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement
with Jefferson County to participate in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program."
or,
"I move to table Resolution No 50-2005, thereby opting out from participation in the County CDBG
Program."

INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT
Between
JEFFERSON COUNTY
and the
CITIES OF EDGEWATER, GOLDEN, Town of MOUNTAIN VIEW, WHEAT RIDGE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAMS
(Federal Fiscal Years 2005 through 2008)
THIS AGREEMENT, dated for reference purposes only this _ day of _, 2005, is between
Jefferson County, Colorado (the "County"), a body politic and corporate of the State of Colorado, and the
Cities of Edgewater, Golden, Town of Mountain View and Wheat Ridge (the "Cities"), municipal
corporations of the State of Colorado located in Jefferson County
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, 42 U.S C. 530 I
-
m ~., (the "Act"), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") administers a
wide range of local housing and community development activities and programs under Title I of the
Act.
B The primary objective of Title I of the Act is the development of viable urban communities, by
providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities
principally for persons of low and moderate income. To further this objective, the Federal
government provides Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") funds to local governments
to conduct and administer housing and community development activities and projects (the "CDBG
Programs"). The CDBG Programs are governed by regulations contained in 24 C.F R. Part 570 (the
"Regulations").
C. A determination has been made by HUD that the County is eligible to quality as an urban county
to receive funds from HUD by annual grant agreement.
mlattomey/Comm_DevllGA CDBG Cites 2005-2008,doc
D To become entitled on an annual basis to receive CDBG funds, a county must quality as an
"urban county." Cities and other units of local governments may be included as part of the urban county
by entering into cooperation agreements. A city that has entered into an intergovernmental cooperation
agreement with the County shall be considered to be a "Participating Jurisdiction."
E. The qualification by HUD of an urban county remains effective for the next three successive
fiscal years, September I, 2003, through August 31, 2005, (the "Program Years") regardless of changes in
the County's population during that period, except for failure of an urban county to receive a CDBG
during any year of that period.
F The County is submitting to HUD the required documentation to qualify as an urban county so as
to become eligible to receive annual CDBG funds for the Program Years (as "Entitlement County"). The
Cities wish to be included as part of the urban county and to be eligible to participate in the County's
CDBG Programs for the Program Years.
G Pursuant to C.R.S. Section 29-1-201, ~ ~., the Cities and the County may enter into agreements
for joint or cooperative action and may contract with each other to perform any governmental service,
activity, or undertaking that each is authorized by law to perform.
H. This Agreement sets forth fully the purposes, powers, rights, obligations, and the financial and
other responsibilities of the parties.
1. Accordingly, the parties have determined that is will be mutually beneficial and in the public
interest of the parties to enter into this Agreement regarding the conduct of the CDBG Programs.
m1allomeyIComm_Dev/lGA CDBG Cites 200S-2008.doc

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and cooperative actions contemplated
hereunder, the parties agree as follows:
Inclusion of Cities. The Cities shall be included as a part of the County for COHO qualification
and grant calculation purposes for the Program Years. The parties recognize their mutual benefit to
seeking entitlement status so that there may be local control over COHO monies and so that the parties
may receive the benefits of yearly allocations of COHO monies. The Cities understand that because they
have elected to pursue entitlement status jointly with the County, HUD restricts the Cities during the
Programs Years from applying for grants under the small cities or state COHO programs and from
participating in a HOME consortium, except through the urban county, regardless of whether the urban
county receives a HOME formula allocation.
2. Period of Performance. This Agreement shall remain in effect through the Program Years and
such additional time as may be required for the expenditure of funds granted and income received during
the Program Years and the completion of the funded activities (the "Period of Performance"). Neither the
County nor the Cities may terminate, withdraw, or be removed from the Program during the Period of
Performance.
3 Renewals. This Agreement will renew automatically for participation by the parties in successive
three-year (3-year) qualification periods, unless the Cities or the County provide written notice to the
other party that it selects not to participate in a new qualification period. The terminating party shall send
a copy of the notice of termination to the HUD field office by the date specified in HUD's urban county
qualification period. The County will notity the Cities in writing of the Cities' right to make this election.
A copy of the County's notification must be sent to the HUD field office by the date specified in the
urban county qualification notice. Failure by either party to adopt an amendment to the Agreement
incorporating all changes necessary to meet the requirements for cooperation agreements set forth in the
urban county qualification notice applicable for a subsequent three-year urban county qualification period
and to submit the amendment to HUD as provided in the urban county qualification notice will void the
mJattomey/Comm_DevIlGA CDBG Cites 2005-2008.doc
3
-
automatic renewal of such qualification period. If the Agreement is renewed, the subsequent three-year
(3-year) period will constitute the new Program Years.
4 Mutual Coooeration. The Cities and the County agree to cooperate as follows:
a. To plan and prepare the COHO Programs, the Comprehensive Housing Affordability
Strategy and Community Development Plan (the "Consolidated Plan"), and detailed descriptions of
COHO Programs to be conducted or performed during each ofthe Program Years. The finalized activities
and projects will be included in the Consolidated Plan and in the requests for COHO funds for the
Program Years. The parties acknowledge, however, the County has responsibility, as mandated by HUD
for selection of the COHO Programs to be included in the grant request and for submission of that
request. The parties recognize that HUD requires the County to execute all grant agreements and holds
the County legally liable and responsible for the overall administration and performance of the CDBO
Programs. Accordingly, the parties agree that the County shall have the administrative responsibility
necessary to meet the requirements of HUD for those Cities selected COHO Programs to be performed or
-
conducted by the Cities. The County will have full administrative responsibility for all programs
performed or conducted by the Cities. As further required by HUD and only to the extent required by
HUD, the Cities and the County agree to cooperate to undertake or assist in undertaking community
renewal and lower income housing assistance activities, as approved and authorized between the parties
in the COHO agreements, including the Consolidated Plan.
b. As required by HUD, pursuant to 24 C.F.R. ~ 570.501 (b) and S 507.503, Cities may
enter into separate COHO agreements (the "COHO Agreements") with the County for the actual conduct
of the COHO Programs, as approved and authorized by the Hoard of County Commissioners and the
Consolidated Plan. As required by HUD, the parties agree to include standards relating to the
management and disposition of assets and real property acquired through the COHO Programs, in
accordance with 24 C.F.R.570.
c. As required by HUD, to affirmatively further fair housing within their own jurisdictions.
The County may not provide any COHO funding for activities in or in support of the Cities if the Cities
mJattomey/Comm_ DevlIGA CDBG Cites 2005-2008 .doc
4
do not affirmatively further fair housing within their own jurisdiction or if the Cities impede the County's
actions to comply with the County's fair housing certification. This provision is required because non-
compliance by the Cities included in an urban county may constitute non-compliance by the urban
county, which may provide cause for funding sanctions or other remedial action by HUD
5. Distribution of Funds.
a.
Administrative Allocation.
The County may retain no more than twenty percent
(20%) of the total CDBO funds allocated to the County for purposes of general oversight, management,
coordination, and related costs ("Administrative Allocation").
b. Jurisdiction Allocation. The funds remaining after the Administrative Allocation is
subtracted from the total CDBO funds shall be allocated to the various Participating Jurisdictions and the
County based upon the representative percentage of low/moderate income populations in the Participating
Jurisdictions or the County, as established for the Urban County by HUD ("Jurisdiction Allocation").
The project application and approval process set forth in Paragraph 6 below shall be followed.
6. Proiect Application and Approval Process
a. Project applications from the County, the Cities and other eligible applicants will
be reviewed by the Community Development Advisory Board (CD Advisory Board) using evaluation
criteria set forth in the applicable Consolidated Plan and the goals of the Board of County
Commissioners. Higher priority shall be given to eligible proposals submitted by the County and the
Cities so long as proposals are consistent with the applicable Consolidated Plan.
b. The decision for determining what funds receive block grant funding is the
responsibility of the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners.
7 Advisory Board. In furtherance of the cooperative process of developing the CDBO Programs,
and in order to ensure coordination while respecting the role of the Cities, Jefferson County has
established a Community Development (CD) Advisory Board.
a. Membership. The CD Advisory Board shall be appointed by the Jefferson County Board
of County Commissioners and shall include at least one member from each participating jurisdiction. The
mJattomey/Comm_DevIlGA CDBG Cites 200S-2008.doc
5
-
-
Participating Jurisdictions shall advise the Board of County Commissioners of its nominee for the
Advisory Board.
b. Duties. The CD Advisory Board shall recommend the allocation of funds to the County,
the Cities and other eligible applicants. Although HUD requires the County to maintain legal liability and
responsibility for the overall administration and performance of the CDBO Programs, the County will
give strong consideration to the recommendations of the CD Advisory Board.
8. Mutual Al!reements. The parties agree as follows:
a. Books and Records. To maintain a complete set of books and records that account for
the CDBO monies and the supervision and administration of the CDBO Programs. The parties agree that
they will provide access to these books and records to each other and to HUD, as necessary or requested,
to confirm compliance with Federal laws and regulations.
b. Compliance with Laws. To take all actions necessary to comply with the following laws
and to assure compliance with County certifications required by:
1. Federal Laws and Rel!Ulations. The Housing and Community Development Act
of ]974, as amended; Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of ]964, sections 104(b) and 109 of Title I of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974; the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. 5301, ~ ~., 24
C.F R. Part 570, and especially 24 C.F R. 570.501(b) applicable to subrecipients and 24 C.F R.570.503
applicable to the minimum standards for a written agreement prior to disbursing any CDBO funds; 24
C.F. R. Part 570, ~ ~., relating to requirements governing any income generated from CDBO funds,
("Program Income"); all rules, regulations, guidelines, circulars, and other requirements promulgated by
the various Federal departments, agencies, administrations, and commissions relating to the CDBO
11. State and Local Law Compliance. The responsibilities of the parties shall be
subject to applicable state laws, city and county ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations, and city
charter provisions.
mJattomey/Comm_DevIIGA CDBG Cites 200S-2008.doc

111. Nonviolent Civil Rights Policies. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 5304(b)(2), the County
and the Cities each have adopted and are enforcing or will adopt and enforce by September I, 1993, and,
ifrequested, will provide copies to each other of the following policies:
(a) Prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies
within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in nonviolent civil rights demonstrations, and
(b) Enforcing applicable state and local laws against physically barring
entrance to or exit from a facility or location which is the subject of nonviolent civil rights demonstrations
within its jurisdiction.
c. Expenditure of Funds. All CDBO funds that are approved by HUD for expenditure under
the grant agreements will be budgeted and allocated (i) to the County, no more than twenty percent (20%)
of the total CDBO funds allocated to the County for administrative, general oversight, management,
coordination, and related costs, as allowed by HUD, and (ii) to the specific CDBO Programs described in
the Consolidated Plan, which shall be expended only for the CDBO Programs for which the funds are
provided.
d. Lobbving Requirement. To the best of the knowledge and belief of each of the Cities and
-
County:
1. No Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid, by or on behalf of
it, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of Congress, or an
employee of a member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any Federal contract, the making
of any Federal grant, the making of any Federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In June 2002, the City Council approved the purchase of the TargetVision bullctin board
communicatiOn system for $20,225. The purchase included the software, hardware and two user
licenses. Since the time of purchase, the systern has been acquired and upgraded by Symon
Communication Solutions. Because of the ownership and software changes, the existing
TargetVision system can no longer be maintained or serviced.
Through the city's maintenance agreement, we are entitled to receive the new upgrades at no cost.
This includes the broadcast and design software licenses for two users.
The city currently has five users on the TargetVision system requiring the purchase of three (3)
additional licenses. Symon has agreed to provide three additional licenses to the city at a 50%
discount. This will reduce the license fees to $4,500 Other associated fees include'
>- Training for five users estirnated at $3,500
>- Digital Appliance for multi-media broadcast distribution at $1,000
>- Additional annual maintenance fee for 2005 of $1 ,368
Total estimated cost for the upgrade is $10,368 (see attached quote).
The proposed replacement affects the Council's goal to develop strong partnerships between city
and community by insuring that communication with the community through the city's access
channel IS maintained.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The existing TargetVision broadcast system has been purchased by Symon Communication Solutions.
Symon Communication Solutions has made significant upgrades and changes to the existing
TargetVision software rendering the existing broadcast system obsolete. The TargetVision broadcast
system can no longer be serviced or maintained.
The city has an existing agreement that all system upgrades would be provided at no cost. This
agreement does not include the purchase of additional licenses, training, or hardware necessary to
operate the system. To maintain current operations, the city will need to purchase three (3) additional
licenses, provide training, and provide a digital appliance for the broadcast dIstribution system.
Michael Steinke, Manager ofInformation Technology, is in agreement with the system upgrade based
on the following:
-
~ Ability to service the system with new technology
~ Compatibility with the existing and future Windows Operating System
~ Reliability and age of the systern
~ Computer replacement is overdue based on a 3 year life cycle
~ Ensuring licensmg and software compliance
~ Additional 3 licenses for users to post information
~ New training schedule for new features
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
Staff considered continued operation of the existing TargetVision broadcast system. However, ifthe
TargetVision system fails, it cannot be replaced or fixed. Upgrade of the system will allow continued
operations and maintenance support.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Total cost for the system upgrade is $10,368. Funds will need to be transferred from the PEG revenue
account within the general fund. As Council is aware, PEG fees can only be utilized for equipment
costs associated with operating the government access channels and not co-mingled with other general
fund revenues
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to adopt Resolution No. 51-2005 authorizing the upgrade of the existing TargetVision
broadcast system to the Symon broadcast system and to amend the fiscal year 2005 general fund
budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $1 0,368."
or,
"I rnove to continue utilizing the existing TargetVision broadcast system with no upgrade."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department has the opportumty to acquire land located
at 4315 Van Gordon Street, for the purposes of use as open space. This property is located adjacent to
Tabor Lake on the west side, in the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt. This resolution authorIzes Jefferson
County Open Space to proceed wIth due diligence of the property and to negotIate the fair market
value The actual purchase of the property will require an additional resolutIOn to be passed by City
Council.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
Parks and Recreation ComrmsslOn received mformation regarding the acqUIsItIon of this property at its
September 21, 2005 meeting.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The acquisition of thIS property would allow the City of Wheat Ridge to provide an additional land
buffer to the lake and Greenbelt on the west side. It would also allow the trail around the lake to be
located farther to the west, away from the bank of the lake. The property currently operates as part of
a landscaping company and has buildings including greenhouses located on the site. The Department
does not currently have the resources to maintain or use the buildings. The property IS zoned
agrIcultural, A-I
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
To not acqUIre the property
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no dIrect financiallrnpact reqUIred to acquire the property The City of Wheat Ridge would
be using previously purchased properties as a substitute for the 25% cash match required by Jefferson
County Open Space. The property, if approved by OSAC would be purchased entirely with bond
funds. The property would reqUIre revegetation and additional fencing. Demolition of the buildings
prior to acquisition of the property would be negotiated as part of the acquisition offer.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve ResolutIOn 52-2005 - a resolution authorizing Jefferson County Open Space to
cornplete an appraisal, envIronmental assessrnent, survey and negotiate the faIr market value of the
1.25 acres of property located at 4315 Van Gordon Street.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City currently has twenty-five patrol vehicles and each has a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT)
computer that is linked to the Police Department via a secured wireless connection. These computers
allow the patrol officers to stay in the field longer, gather data, and fill out their reports without having
to drive back to the station. With the reliance on technology, the MDT needs to be reliable and stay
current with standard technologies. This MDT upgrade IS a budgeted, phased implementation that is
required to proVide reliability and speed of computing to the officers III the field. Weare replacing 8
existing units with upgraded MDTs.
Over 25 percent of the MDT equipment in the patrol vehicles are over four years old and have outlived
their projected live span. Hence, these computers are more susceptible to connectivity failure due to
the age of the equipment. This causes lost productivity for the end users and increases Information
Technology staff time to fix old technologies that reqUire replacement. In additIOn, these upgraded
technologies will allow IT to configure the systems for optimize performance.
On October 11,2005 five (5) bids were received. The apparent low bidder was Portable Computer
Systems, Golden, CO in the total amount of$28,819.00. Staffhas reviewed the bid for specification
compliance and recommend award to Portable Computer Systems.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The scheduled and budgeted procurement of replacement Mobile Data Computers for the patrol cars.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
No replacernent at thiS time.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Staff recommends the procurement of the replacement Panasomc Mobile Data Terminals in the
amount of$28,8l9.00. This will improve the availability and reliability of the computers for our
twenty-five patrol vehicles. This is part of the Information Technology plan to provide better service
for the Police Department. These funds are budgeted in the 2005 budget.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to award RFB-05-44 Panasonic Computer Notebooks to Portable Computer Systems, Golden,
CO in the amount of $28,819 00."
or,
"I move to deny authorizatIOn for the City of Wheat Ridge to purchase the spare and replacement
Panasonic Mobile Data Terminals frorn Portable Computing Systems the for the following reason( s)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City has received a request from Jeffco Head Start FoundatIOn, Inc. to waive bUIlding permit fees
associated with a new Head Start center to be constructed at 42nd and Y oungfield in Wheat RIdge.
This item was presented as a staff report to Council and the consensus was to bring forward a motion
to waive the use tax associated with the building.
Consideration of thIs request IS related to Council's goal or creating a strong partnership between the
City and community.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
No board or commIssion reviews such requests.
ST A TEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The Foundation does not operate under the School DIstrict, a quasi-governmental agency that would
be exempt from taxes. There are no state statutes exemptmg such organizatIOns from paymg
muniCIpal taxes and fees. The organization is subject to the City's permIt review and inspection
process. Staffhme and subsequent costs WIll be incurred m provIding these servIces.
Required fees and taxes for the proposed building would be as follows:
PermIt Fee
Plan RevIew Fee
Use Tax
Building Valuation
$1.1 million $1.2 million
$ 7,768 95 $ 8,243.95
$ 5,049 82 $ 5,358.56
$19,800.00 $21,60000
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not approve the request.
Waive only a portIOn of the fees and taxes due,
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Any portIOn of the fees or taxes waived will be a direct loss of revenue to the CIty
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I rnove to recornrnend approval of a waiver to the use tax on buildIng materials, up to a maxImum of
$22,00000, which would otherwise be required in connection with the construction of the Head Start
center in Wheat Ridge. 1 further rnove to acknowledge the waiver ofthis tax as a contribution to the
Head Start proJect."

7500 W. 29th Avenue
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033
Dear Randy;
Per the request of my Foundation Board President, Dr Jerry Williams, I
am asking the City of Wheat Ridge to waive building permit fees for a
new Head Start center being built at 42nd and Youngfield.
The Jeffco Head Start Foundation is in the process of raising funds for a
new Head Start school that will assist 75 families in Wheat Ridge who
are at the 100% poverty level. This center will also serve as the training
facility for our curriculum, 'Tools of the Mind" which has been developed
by Metropolitan State College of Denver, Professor Dr. Deborah Leong
and Dr. Elana Bedrova of the McRel Research Institute in Denver (See
enclosed description of curriculum) The curriculum has won a United
Nations award and Jefferson County Head Start has been a pilot
program and a participant in a gold standard research project.
To date the Foundation has raised $950,041 The estimated cost of
constructing the building is $1,098,051. This leaves $148,010 remaining.
The land has been purchased in Wheat Ridge and the architects are in
the final design phase for the facility The City of Wheat Ridge has
provided the project with a special use permit. Jeffco Head Start
Foundation is asking that the City of Wheat Ridge partner with us in
making this wonderful new Head Start school and training center a reality
for the deserving citizens of Wheat Ridge. We are therefore, requesting
that you waive all related fees that would be applied to building this vital
new center in Wheat Ridge.
On behalf of the Jeffco Head Start Foundation I thank you for your
consideration. If you have any questions please contact me at
303-271-4003
Sincerely,
~~
Sandy Martin, Executive Director

TOOLS OF THE MIND RESEARCH PROJECT
The Tools o/the Mind (rOM) Research proJect is an innovatIve early childhood approach with research-based
strategies to develop school readiness. The project is based on the idea that social and emotional self-regulation, such as
the ability to SIt and pay attention, remember on purpose, plan one's actions, reflect on one's thmking, take turns,
cooperate, and act empathetically toward peers is as important as knowledge about letters and numbers. This emphaSIS
is supported in current research that showing that self-regulation has a stronger association with academic achievement
than IQ or entry level reading or math skills. A number of studies show a strong link between the self-regulation in
preschool and later school achievement (see Kaufinann report and Ready to Enter for the reviews of research). Bram
research points to the fact that the preschool period IS one in wluch these self-regulatory capacitIes are develop mg.
Research on early aggression also supports the importance of learning emotional self-regulation at this age. In addition,
kindergarten teachers rank self-regulation as the major characteristic necessary if a child is to be ready for school.
The lack of self-regulation presents a significant problem for preschool programs. Many children, especially at-
risk children, begin school lackIng the self-regulatory behaviors necessary for school success. Kindergarten teachers
indicate that over half the children in their class lack effective self-regulatory skills. The rnore risk factors children are
exposed to, such as poverty, low levels of maternal education, early experiences of inconsistent and harsh parentIng,
domestic VIolence, the more likely that social/emotional self-regulation may suffer While acknowledging its importance
for later school success, early childhood teachers report that they do not know what to do to help children develop self-
regulation. Teachers report disruptive behaviors-the absence of self-regulation-as their smgle most difficult challenge.
Many lllterventions are designed for the most out-of-control children rather than helping develop self-regulatIOn for all
children. There is a need for interventions emphasIZe self-regulation as part of the fabric of the classroom activities in
much the same way that cognrtive and social-emotional development are treated.
TOM is such a program. It emphasIZes cognitIve and social-emotional self-regulation without neglecting
important literacy and math skills. It begins with helping teachers to create a pOSItIve classroom clllllate where self-
regulation is Iearned in every activity, especially through dramatic play. Special Vygotskian- based tools are used to help
children stay focused without teacher intervention. The strategies used in the curriculum individualIZe learning so that
actIvities meet each child's indiVIdual needs. Teachers learn how to seize the right "window of opportunity" in which to
support children to the next step along the developmental path WIthin that activity and across different activities.
Children and teachers spend classroom time more productively and each child is challenged to reach his/her potential.
The preschool children leave the TOM program with strong self-regulation skills as well as the academic
knowledge and skills.. By the end of the year, children are actively absorbed in all classroom actiVIties. Teachers rarely
mtervene to keep children on task or to redirect inappropriate behavior Time out as a disciplinary strategy is completely
eliminated because children are able to regulate both their feelings and social interactions as well. In literacy, children
leave with phonemic awareness, knowledge ofletters of the alphabet, sound-to-symbol correspondence, as well as the
KiioWleOgifof conceptsofprint;-and-concepts.ufwritmg-at-a-Ievel-that-is more-coHInlan-at-the-end-of.kmdergarten. -
MathematIC skills lllclude countIng I-I 0 Items, rote countIng over 20, understanding the meanmg of adding and
subtracting, recognizing and naming shapes and more.
TOM has been evaluated ill a number of small scale research studies. In 2002, TOM was selected by the NatIonal
InstItute for Early Education Research (NIEER) for a double-randomized experimental design study to evaluate TOM's
effectiveness. This type of study is considered by the Federal government as the "gold standard" of research (highest
level of proof of effects). TOM was chosen because it was one o/the most promising early childhood education
innovations for at-risk children in the nation. The study is belllg conducted in a-school district in New Jersey with a high
level of poverty and a predominantly non-English speaking population. Preliminary results show that children had
statistically significant garns m levels of self-regulation and significant improvement in literacy skills, oral language
levels, and in problem solving compared to the control group Teachers trained in TOM scored lugher in classroom
management-using classroom tIme productively and having a lugher rate of appropnate mteractIons that challenged
children to learn at the ne),,1: level. TOM influenced not only child outcomes, but teacher behavior.
In 2001 UNESCO's International Bureau of Education named TOM an exemplary innovativc educatIonal
program (http.//w\vw.ibe.unesco.org/International/Databanks/Innodata/inograph.htm Monograph 7) Footage showing
the TOM classroom actIvities can be seen in the "Growing and Learning in Preschool" video produced by NIEER, which
can be made available to those wishing to view it or can be viewed on the internet at the NIEER website' www.nieer.or!!
The program was origmally developed by Dr Deborah Leong and Dr. Elena Bodrova who IS current!) workIng
at McREL. Dr. Leong is a Research Fellow at the NatIonal Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER) and a noted
authority on Early Childhood Child Outcorne Standards. Dr Leong is a Professor in the Psychology Department at
Metropolitan State College of Denver. Tools of the Mind IS housed at the Center for Irnproving Early Learning.
