Elected Officials’ Report(s) ADJOURNMENT Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Patrick Goff, City Manager DATE: July 11, 2018 (for July 16, 2018 Study Session) SUBJECT: Let’s Go, Colorado Transportation Funding Campaign A coalition of organizations from across the state of Colorado are advocating for a 0.62% increase in the state’s sales tax rate to increase revenue for transportation projects. The Let’s Go, Colorado campaign is collecting the necessary signatures to include a question on the November 2018 ballot. The proposed tax increase is projected to generate $767 million in revenue from sales tax in the first year for transportation projects statewide. The new revenues would be distributed to the State Highway Fund (45%), cities (20%), counties (20%) and to the Multimodal Options Fund (15%). The tax increase would sunset after 20 years. The City of Wheat Ridge would potentially receive $1.1 million in new transportation funding in the first year or $33 million over a 20-year period. Jefferson County is projected to receive $10.5 million in the first year or $297 million over a 20-year period. Senator Rachel Zenzinger and Let’s Go, Colorado campaign staff will be at the study session on July 16 to provide more details to City Council about the ballot initiative. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Let’s Go, Colorado PowerPoint Sample Resolution Endorsing Statewide Transportation Sales Tax Solution WHEREAS, a modern, safe and efficient 21st century transportation system is essential to Colorado’s quality of life and the health of our economy; and WHEREAS, Colorado’s population has grown nearly 60 percent since 1991, while state transportation spending per driver, adjusted for inflation, has been cut in half over that same time period; and WHEREAS, increased demands on our roads and bridges have resulted in increased traffic congestion, lost worker productivity and deep frustration among local citizens; and WHEREAS, the Colorado Department of Transportation has identified $9 billion in much-needed projects that lack funding; and WHEREAS, compounding the inability of CDOT to fund vital projects is the lack of resources available to local communities to address traffic congestion, maintenance needs and safety concerns; and WHEREAS, the failure to maintain roads and bridges adequately costs Coloradans on average of $468 per driver due to damage and unnecessary wear-and-tear to vehicles, and WHEREAS, truly addressing Colorado’s transportation challenges requires a dedicated, sufficient and guaranteed stream of revenue; and WHEREAS, a bipartisan, statewide group of local elected officials and business leaders has proposed to raise the state sales tax by .62 percent, or about six cents on a ten-dollar purchase, for transportation needs; and WHEREAS, will raise $767 million in its first year and allow for bonding of $6 billion for state projects; and WHEREAS, 40 percent of the new revenue will go to county and municipal governments to address local transportation needs; and WHEREAS, Colorado voters will be able to vote on this statewide transportation solution on the November 2018 ballot; be it therefore RESOLVED, that [GOVERNING BODY] endorses this strong and effective transportation solution as the right answer to address years of neglect of our state’s transportation needs and to address the concerns we have heard from our local citizens; and be it further RESOLVED that [GOVERNING BODY] urges our local voters to support this transportation solution on the November 2018 ballot. ATTACHMENT 1 Let’s Go, ColoradoLet’s Go, Colorado Colorado's transportation needs have gone unmet for decades. In every corner of our state, we lack the resources to maintain our roads, highways and local bus routes. Because the state’s gas tax isn’t tied to inflation, there has been less and less revenue from existing gas taxes to address Colorado’s trans- portation needs. Today, Colorado spends just $69 per driver on transportation infrastructure, compared to 25 years ago when we spent almost twice that amount - $125 per driver. CDOT has more than $9 billion in projects with no funding - and that’s only part of the issue, our local communities lack the resources to address congestion, maintain roads and improve safety. We need a statewide solution that ensures local governments have the resources to meet demands, addresses high-priority projects on state highways, and promotes multimodal transportation options that reduce congestion. We need a new funding source to fix our roads. A sales tax asks everyone to chip in, including the 80 million out-of-state tourists who use our infrastructure every year. Our proposal will increase the state’s sales tax by 0.62%, a little more than half a cent on a dollar purchase, This revenue will address longstanding problems with funding transpor- tation projects in the state. New revenue will be distributed to fund critical state projects that address safety and make it easier to get around, projects on local streets and highways as determined by local leaders and make a serious investment in multimodal transit to help reduce congestion and protect our air quality. How we got here 78% of Colorado’s roads will need to be repaired in the next 10 years, but the state lacks the budget to keep up. It’s time to stop the band-aid approach. Each dollar spent on road improvements results in an aver- age benefit of $5.20 by reducing delays and fuel consumption, and improving safety. Potholes and rough roads damage a vehicle’s tires and sus- pensions, costing the average Colorado driver $468 in repairs each year. Our proposal Distribution of new Transportation Revenue Multimodal Options Fund - 15% Local Transportation Priorities Fund Cities - 20% Counties 20% State Highway Fund - 45% $767 millionFirst Year Revenue ATTACHMENT 2 Paid for by Coloradans for Coloradans funding State Projects Our initiative will address major projects on I-25, I-70 and the state highways that connect our communities throughout Colorado. •Improve traffic flow by widening lanes, adding passing lanes and improving interchanges. •Improve safety by adding and widening shoulders, replacing bridges and building wildlife crossings. We see on our commutes and daily travels that the needs at the state level are serious and immediate. By using bonds, we’ll be able to start these projects right away. Local governments will have full flexibility of their share of the funding, allowing our communities to meet their diverse needs throughout the state. Projects could include: • Street repaving and pothole repair • Matching for state projects • New intersections, shoulders and signals • Bike lanes, sidewalks and other transit options This revenue will be split 50/50 between cities and counties based on lane miles and vehicle registrations. Multimodal funding will support transportation options that decrease traffic congestion and protect our air quali- ty. This funding could be used to support urban and rural bus service, large scale bike lanes and paths, and improvements for pedestrians. This revenue will be divided to leverage state local dollars to complete large and small projects, support interregional transit projects like Bustang, and distribute funds to local governments specifically for multimodal projects. addressing local priorities supporting multimodal options For more information, please email us at info@letsgocolorado.com Let’s Go, ColoradoLet’s Go, Colorado Paid for by Coloradans for Coloradans Name ___________________________________________________________________________________ Organization: ________________________ Title: _________________________________________ Cell Phone __________________________ Personal Email: ______________________________ City __________________________________ County _______________________________________ The campaign can count on me to help in the following ways (check all that apply): I support the initiative proposed by the Let’s Go, Colorado campaign and coalition.

Planning for the City’s 50th Celebration began in the fall of 2017 and this memorandum provides an outline of recommended activities developed to date by an internal staff committee and staff from Localworks. While special attention will be focused on celebrating the City’s 50 years at the Carnation Festival in August 2019, the plan outlined below provides celebratory activities throughout the year. These activities will be kicked-off with a Signature Gala event planned for March 2, 2019. Staff in partnership with Localworks will engage community members and key partners in an inclusive process, described in greater detail below, as we move closer to 2019. RECOMMENDATIONS: Community Engagement The City has already begun community outreach through the Connections Newsletter and Facebook in gathering photos and stories. These submissions will be shared throughout the 50th Year on our website and on our social media platforms and in display form at events. The City hopes to engage a subcommittee of City staff and community members to assist with further development of plans for the year long celebration. Businesses, schools, service clubs and the faith community will be encouraged to join in the celebration and enhance their own activities with the City’s 50th Anniversary theme. 50th Anniversary Seal and Logo Central to the marketing of the 50th Anniversary activities is the development of a celebratory seal and logo. Both the seal and logo will be used on banners, business cards, electronic letterhead, invitations and the City website as well as any items we may wish to giveaway at 50th events. Other potential uses identified include detachable magnets for the City’s fleet. Attachment 1 includes the 50th Anniversary Celebration Plans July 6, 2018 Page 2 draft 50th seal and Attachment 2 includes the draft 50th logo. WRPD Commemorative Badge The Wheat Ridge Police Department has already developed and approved a badge modeled after the very first department design. Officers interested in acquiring a commemorative badge can purchase one at their own cost. Restoration of Unit 1 WRPD is pursuing the restoration of Unit 1, the first patrol car used by the Department’s Chief in 1969. The City is reviewing the potential for financial support from the WR Community Foundation to fund the restoration. Communications Plans The City plans to utilize multiple City communications vehicles such as our website, the Connections newsletter as well as mainstream and social media to share plans and programs with community members. A new Facebook Group has been created, Celebrate WR50. Other special marketing and communications ideas include: • Addition of a website banner with the 50th logo • Use of a special Connections masthead throughout the year • Addition of 50th flair for Cody the Code Ranger • Launch of a new Instagram account • Frames for use with photos on Facebook and Instagram • Giant sized 50 that can be moved to different locations around the City for photo opportunities • A calendar with then and now photos of Wheat Ridge • Collaboration with other organizations and cities celebrating 50 years (e.g. Lakewood, JCMH) • Outreach to regional media Draft Calendar of Activities January • Happy 50th New Year February • Love letters to Wheat Ridge March • Signature Event Gala to celebrate the petitioning process that took place in the spring of 1969. 50th Anniversary Celebration Plans July 6, 2018 Page 3 April • Employee Recognition Ceremony – tie into annual awards program.

A budget for 2019 will be developed and included for City Council review in the proposed 2019 budget. Localworks has $10,000 included in their 2018 Budget for 50th Celebration activities. Staff asks that City Council review the ideas listed and provide any suggestions. Once we have our community steering committee in place by the fall of 2018, we will provide City Council with an update on the final plan prior to the end of 2018. ATTACHMENT(S): 1. Draft anniversary seal 2. Draft anniversary logo SBS/sbs ATTACHMENT 1 ATTACHMENT 2 Memorandum TO: Mayor Bud Starker and City Council THROUGH: Patrick Goff, City Manager Daniel Brennan, Chief of Police FROM: Jim Lorentz, Division Chief Lucas Hunt, Supervisor, Community Services Team DATE: July 16, 2018 SUBJECT: Staff Report: Code Enforcement 2017 Update and 2018 Recommendations ISSUE: City Council has requested an annual update on code enforcement efforts and strategies. Code enforcement was an area of focus discussed by City Council in the last City strategic planning process. BACKGROUND In 2008, the Wheat Ridge Police Department instituted the Wheat Ridge Administrative Enforcement Process for Nuisance and Code Violations. This process has proven to be an innovative and proactive effort to deal with the local enforcement of nuisance violations of City Code, such as tall weeds, inoperable vehicles, outside storage of junk, graffiti, and illegal dumping. Our model was featured in Colorado Municipalities Magazine in October 2010, as an innovative approach to handling code enforcement. The Administrative Enforcement Process shifts from the criminal procedures and violations model handled usually through the Municipal Court system, to a more efficient and effective civil administrative citation process. The program is intended to benefit the community by making neighborhoods safe and attractive, as well as increasing citizen interest and ownership in neighborhood identity. Compliance can reduce vandalism, deter crime, maintain property value, and prevent deterioration of neighborhoods. In 2014, the Wheat Ridge City Council identified code enforcement as an action agenda item during its annual retreat. Based on discussions, Council agreed that code enforcement was an important component, and that it should be strengthened and applied consistently throughout the City. The City Council directed Staff to bring this topic before Council for further discussion and consideration. As a result, staff from Community Development, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and the Police Department began meeting to review efforts by City departments that address code enforcement. The resulting program was named Wheat Ridge TLC Neighborhoods. “TLC” stands for Traffic safety, Life quality, and Crime reduction. The purpose of this report is to update City Council on staff’s efforts to initiate specific code enforcement strategies in residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors throughout the City of Wheat Ridge. Staff Report: Code Enforcement 2017 Update and 2018 Recommendations July 16, 2018 Page 2 Since the program’s inception in 2014, the City has worked in the following neighborhoods as part of the TLC Neighborhoods program: • East Wheat Ridge • Clear Creek Station • Clearvale • Applewood Village • Fruitdale East • Fruitdale West • Apel • Sun Valley The following commercial corridors have been a part of the TLC program to date: • West 44th Avenue East (Fenton to Wadsworth) • West 44th Avenue Central (Wadsworth to Kipling) • West 44th Avenue West (Kipling to Xenon) • Kipling Street (W. 32nd Avenue to W. 51st Place) • Wadsworth Boulevard, 32nd Avenue north to 48th Avenue During the administration of enforcement activities, all previously identified neighborhoods and commercial projects were assessed for code violations and were brought into compliance using the administrative nuisance code process. 2017 UPDATE In 2017, the Community Services Team (CST) was able to partially recover from a significant loss of personnel in 2016. The Police Department hired Lucas Hunt as the Supervisor for the CST. Two new Community Services Officers (CSOs) were hired and trained; however, two CSOs left their positions to become Wheat Ridge Police Officers and another CSO left to take a position as a Detentions Deputy with an area Sherriff’s Office. Although the loss of personnel impacted the CST, the Team was able to maintain services to the community and complete the 2017 TLC Neighborhoods and Commercial Corridor programs. Currently, the CSO Team is conducting a hiring process for two (2) regular CSO positions and two (2) part-time, intermittent Park Ranger positions. The current authorized strength of the CST is as follows: • One (1) Community Services Supervisor • One (1) Lead CSO position • Six (6) full time CSO positions (two positions currently open) • Two (2) part-time, intermittent Park Ranger positions (May through October) • There are five (5) specially equipped vehicles assigned to the team ACCOMPLISHMENTS Throughout the past year, the CST responded to calls for service that fluctuated throughout the year, and peaked during the spring and summer months. In 2017, the CST responded to more than 5,312 calls for service, of which 3,310 were proactively self-initiated by CSOs. Additionally, the Team answered more than 3,972 telephone calls from citizens, addressed over 134 service requests, and worked diligently to sustain the Wheat Ridge TLC Neighborhoods program. The following are the calls for service associated with code enforcement, animal control, and parks enforcement activities during calendar year 2017: Staff Report: Code Enforcement 2017 Update and 2018 Recommendations July 16, 2018 Page 3 Enforcement Activities Code Enforcement Animal Control Parks Enforcement Calls for Service 2,518 1,922 872 Warnings Issued 912 222 190 1st Citations/Compliancy 62 / 92% 80 34 2nd Citations/Compliancy 20 / 98% N/A N/A 3rd Citations/Compliancy 13 / 99% N/A N/A Admin Hearings 11 / 1% 80 34 Abatements 0 0 0 Criminal Charges 0 1 0 Fines Assessed $25,490 $13,188 Unavailable Abatement Fees Assessed 0 0 0 TLC NEIGHORHOODS The TLC model is multi-faceted in its approach. The model includes outreach to property owners and residents in an identified TLC area, followed by a community meeting with property owners and residents. This meeting is attended by representatives from the Patrol Operations Division, Community Services Team, other City departments, and staff from Localworks. Staff presents on the identified issues and then attendees are given the opportunity to tell us about their concerns or what they feel is working. A plan is developed to address resident concerns and arrangements made for a Dumpster Day event. After the voluntary cleanup is completed, CSOs begin the process of addressing properties that are still out of compliance. In addition, random patrols are conducted to address other issues brought up by the neighbors, and bicycle officers are deployed randomly as well. To ensure open lines of communication with the different stakeholders, the team shares information during monthly meetings with Community Development to address issues brought forward by members of the community and other City departments. In 2017, the team used this approach to address quality of life, traffic and crime concerns in the identified neighborhoods and commercial corridors that would benefit from the support provided by the program in the following areas: • Apel Neighborhood: Quay Street west to Wadsworth Boulevard, and West 44th Avenue north to I-70. • Sun Valley Neighborhood: Garrison Street west to Kipling Street, and West 42nd Avenue north to I-70 • Wadsworth Boulevard Corridor: Wadsworth Boulevard, from West 32nd Avenue north to West 48th Ave. The hosted community meetings were held at local faith-based institutions and community partners were provided with material and information about TLC clean-up projects in their neighborhoods. The Dumpster Days events were held throughout the months of June, July, August, and September. As part of the process, the Team distributed educational material door- to-door and encouraged citizens to express their concerns during neighborhood meetings. The open exchange of information allowed the team to work with neighborhood supporters to clean-up and enforce the City of Wheat Ridge Municipal Codes, using Notice of Violations and administering the City’s nuisance abatement process. Staff Report: Code Enforcement 2017 Update and 2018 Recommendations July 16, 2018 Page 4 Community Services concentrated its pro-active enforcement activities in the TLC Neighborhoods and was able to eventually gain full compliance for the 912 Notice of Violations issued in 2017. The enforcement process emphasized cooperation with property owners to identify municipal code violations, and to provide appropriate time to gain voluntary compliance. The oversight given to the TLC Neighborhoods allowed the department to effectively organize and direct enforcement activities within high complaint and call areas. The objective of the directed enforcement activities were to address citizen concerns and improve the quality of life for the community. HOTEL/MOTEL INSPECTIONS Over the past year, the team worked with City of Wheat Ridge staff members from Community Development, Crime Prevention, and the Arvada Fire Protection District to evaluate the nine (9) commercial hotel and motel structures for code, fire, and building violations. Throughout the course of the inspection process, staff examined more than 2,600 rooms, issued nine (9) Notice of Violations for 18 separate infractions, and worked with representatives from each site to gain full compliance. A complete review of the municipal, fire, and building codes were conducted by representatives from each agency to ensure the most recent safety standards and training were applied by inspecting members in 2017. GREENBELT ASSESSMENTS During the summer months, CSOs and patrol officers worked with local volunteer groups, such as Family Tree, to assess the impact of people experiencing homelessness within the community. As part of these assessments, the department provided support and services to those individuals contacted, while also enforcing municipal code violations. Through the evaluation of the City’s Greenbelt, every effort was made to connect the different stakeholders, such as Parks and Recreation, Colorado Department of Transportation, and Public Works to address areas of concern. The services provided to the community allowed our partners to address the removal of trash and debris, paint park facilities and bridges, and address the issues of camps in City parks and under bridges. The department and team worked with surrounding communities and law enforcement agencies on homelessness camps that were close to our community as well. PROACTIVE ENFORCEMENT In 2017, the team continued to be proactive in addressing code enforcement violations and was able to develop an operational method for identifying areas of concern in the community. By collaborating with Crime Analyst, Beth Daniels, the team produces and utilizes a monthly mapping system to identify areas of concern for weekly proactive team activities. Through the use of focused patrols on Wednesday mornings, the team was able to produce more than 900 proactive code calls using this approach during the summer of 2017. This practice will be continued for directed enforcement activities in 2018. 2018 RECOMMENDATIONS In 2018, two additional neighborhoods and one commercial corridor were selected to participate in the TLC program. These neighborhoods were selected based on a variety of concerns, Staff Report: Code Enforcement 2017 Update and 2018 Recommendations July 16, 2018 Page 5 including Community Services Officer input, equal representation within City Council Districts, and community/neighborhood interests. The following neighborhoods were identified as areas for the TLC program in 2018: • Historical Park Neighborhood: (181 Residential Parcels) Tabor Street to Parfet Street and 44th Avenue to the I-70 Frontage Road. • Discovery Park Neighborhood: (217 Residential Parcels) Kipling Street to Holland Street and 32nd Avenue to 38th Avenue. • W. 38th Ave. Commercial Corridor: 38th Avenue, from Pierce Street to Sheridan Boulevard. The dates and locations for the TLC Clean Up day and community meetings are as follows: • June 2, 2018 (District 4) - Clear Creek Church, 10555 W 44th Ave (Community Meeting, May 23, 2018 between 7:00 - 8:30 PM.) • July 7, 2018 (District 3) - Glory of God Lutheran Church, 12200 W 38th Ave (Community Meeting, June 27, 2018 between 7:00 - 8:30 PM.) • August 18, 2018 (District 2) - St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, 3900 Pierce St. (Community Meeting, August 08, 2018 between 7:00 - 8:30 PM.) • September 22, 2018 (District 1) - WR United Congregational Church, 6310 W 29th Ave (Community Meeting, September 12, 2018 between 7:00 - 8:30 PM.) The dates for the community meetings and Dumpster Days can be found on the City website and department Facebook page. Staff believes that since the program’s inception, the TLC and Dumpster Day programs have been a very positive and successful method for providing proactive code enforcement services to the community. Although staffing resources are limited currently and proactive enforcement may be narrowed to these designated areas, the CST continues to respond to calls for service and complaints regarding any property in Wheat Ridge. The Police Department has confidence that quality of life, traffic, and crime issues in these neighborhoods can be effectively addressed through the TLC program. Staff is seeking direction from City Council for any input that may help identify other potential neighborhoods and commercial areas for consideration in 2019. With the direction and input provided by Council, the department can outline an education and enforcement program that allows the Department to mitigate potential concerns from the community going forward. FUTURE DISCUSSIONS/CONSIDERATIONS The department has shared the Strategic Plan Update, Wheat Ridge Vision 2035, regarding an attractive and inviting city with leadership in the department and with the members of the Community Services Team. Staff understands that effective code enforcement plays an important role in achieving these goals. Moving forward we have identified the following areas for further discussion and development: • Citizen education regarding quality of life issues is important in achieving City goals regarding code enforcement. The department routinely pushes out information via the Staff Report: Code Enforcement 2017 Update and 2018 Recommendations July 16, 2018 Page 6 Mayor’s Newsletter, Connections, our department website and Facebook page. The department has printed brochures available as well. If any of our information or a department speaker would be helpful to City Council in discussing quality of life issues at a Council District meeting, please let us know. • Staff recommends that the Administrative Enforcement Process, TLC program, and Dumpster Day programs continue. They continue to be the best option for success in attaining Council’s vision. • Staff is seeing citizens utilize native grasses and xeriscaping as strategies to address environmental and watering concerns. Staff is seeking direction from City Council to research and bring forth recommendations on changes at a future date. The department will work with the Community Development Department and City Attorney’s Office. • Staff continues to meet monthly with Community Development and Public Works to address quality of life issues that blend into the roles and responsibilities of each department. Staff has found these meetings to be productive in problem-solving and agreeing on education or enforcement approaches. • The City Manager directed staff to work with the City Attorney to develop recommendations for code changes to provide more effective enforcement tools for habitual code enforcement offenders. Memorandum TO: Mayor Bud Starker and City Council THROUGH: Patrick Goff, City Manager FROM: Daniel Brennan, Chief of Police DATE: July 16, 2018 SUBJECT: Crime in Wheat Ridge The purpose of this staff report is to provide City Council with a snapshot of crime in Wheat Ridge. One of the most frequent questions and concerns expressed by citizens to the Police Department concerns crime, followed by questions about quality of life and traffic issues. The department reviews data related to crime, traffic, and quality of life issues on a frequent basis to address concerns in these areas. Over the past year, I have received multiple questions from citizens about crime in their neighborhoods or the City. There is undoubtedly a community sense that crime has increased and this is accurate in terms of overall crime in the city. As a community in a large metropolitan area, Wheat Ridge has experienced similar increases in crime as seen throughout the Denver Metropolitan Area and Colorado. Respondents to the 2018 Resident Survey were asked to provide their perceptions about feelings of safety in and around the city. Generally, residents felt safe in Wheat Ridge, with more than 9 in 10 reporting that they felt very or somewhat safe in recreation centers and in their home. At least 8 in 10 felt safe in parks and playgrounds, retail and commercial areas and in their neighborhood. About 7 in 10 reported felling very safe or somewhat safe on roadways and on the trail system. Overall, 16% or less reported feeling unsafe in any of these areas in Wheat Ridge. From 2015 to 2018, feelings of safety increased in the neighborhood, but decreased on roadways. CRIME DATA It is helpful to understand how crime is reported statewide and nationally. There are two national crime reporting systems; the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) and the National Incident-Based Reporting Status (NIBRS). The FBI has administered the national UCR Program since 1930, to generate reliable information for use by law enforcement. UCR data is the most familiar source of crime information for most people. While UCR data can be a very useful way of looking at crime; it is not a complete picture of crime because it does not provide an accurate representation of all crime. For instance, if a person is the victim of a burglary, motor vehicle theft and is seriously assaulted, UCR records the most serious crime committed (serious assault) and does not capture the lesser included crimes. UCR’s definition of some crimes, such as sexual assault, are narrowly defined and do not reflect current law definitions and descriptions for this crime. Staff Report Crime in Wheat Ridge July 16, 2018 Page 2 of 4 UCR is broken out into two categories, Part I and Part II Crimes. Part I Crimes are the most serious and include Homicide, Sexual Assault, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Larceny (theft and theft from a vehicle), Auto Theft, and Arson. The definitions of what these crimes consist of are very specific. Part II Crimes include lesser offenses such as simple assault, curfew offenses and loitering, embezzlement, forgery and counterfeiting, disorderly conduct, driving under the influence, drug offenses, fraud, gambling, liquor offenses, offenses against the family, prostitution, public drunkenness, runaways, sex offenses, stolen property, vandalism, vagrancy, and weapons offenses. NIBRS is an incident-based reporting system for reporting data on crime and is viewed as providing a more accurate picture of crime. Unlike UCR, NIBRS records all crime committed per incident. Using the example above, NIBRS would capture all the crimes committed versus the most serious crime. The FBI administers NIBRS as well and has been working on moving all law enforcement agencies to report crime using this methodology. The Wheat Ridge Police Department utilizes NIBRS to report crime to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. CBI converts the data to UCR and sends this data to the FBI. The department tracks crime utilizing the NIBRS method. CRIME IN WHEAT RIDGE Nationally, violent crime increased for the second year in a row while property crimes declined slightly except motor vehicle thefts, which increased by 7.4%. In Colorado, violent and property crimes both increased according to the 2016 Crime in Colorado report. The Colorado Bureau of Investigations statewide report reflects that Homicides increased 9.9%, Rapes increased 7.2%, Robbery increased 5.9%, Aggravated Assaults increased 8.3%, Other (Simple) Assaults increased 3.6%, Burglary increased .8%, Larceny (theft) increased 4.3%, and Auto Thefts showed one of highest increases, up 22% statewide. Statewide, motor vehicle thefts accounted for 38.7% of the major offenses reported. Violent crimes increased by 100 offenses in 2017, Aggravated and Other Assaults made up 87% of these crimes. A review of Wheat Ridge crime data from 2011-2017 for Type I (all Part I Crimes, plus simple assaults) crimes shows a relatively low and flat crime rate from 2011–2013, followed by a significant dip in crime in 2014. Crime increased in 2015 compared to 2014 and has increased annually through 2017. Wheat Ridge has historically had a very low homicide rate, which is reflected in the 2017 statistics. However, data shows aggravated assaults increased 43%, simple assaults increased 19%, adult sex assaults increased 13%, and motor vehicle thefts increased 9% when compared to 2016 data. Type II Crimes have continued to trend downward since 2012; however, the City experienced a moderately low increase in 2017. Domestic violence incidents increased by 26% in 2017 (domestic violence is not a criminal offense, rather it is a sentencing enhancer). For instance, a domestic violence incident could involve a violent crime, property crime or both. The top locations for Type I CFS tend to be clustered along the major transportation corridors and includes Lutheran Medical Center (LMC). LMC is a unique location compared to these other areas for a couple of reasons. First, victims will often respond to the hospital before the Staff Report Crime in Wheat Ridge July 16, 2018 Page 3 of 4 police are called. Secondly, staff in the hospital can be subject to assaults from patients with mental health or substance abuse issues. The department has been providing extra-duty officers at the LMC Emergency Room during their high-volume times to provide additional safety for staff and patients. The department tracks other data as well, to compare to crime trends. This includes looking at calls for service, case reports, arrests, traffic accidents, summonses issued, and our response time to calls for service. Calls for Service (CFS) have steadily increased since 2011; however, CFS declined in 2017. CFS include all incidents of crime, traffic, and quality of life incidents reported to the department. A review of data reflect both an increase in overall crime, coupled with a decline in self-initiated officer activity in 2017, most likely the result of staffing shortages. OTHER ISSUES The department is seeing an increase in incidents involving the possession of heroin and methamphetamine. These incidents often involve a subject who has been contacted for other reasons, and during the arrest drugs are found on their person or in a vehicle. Homelessness, substance abuse, and mental health calls for service continue to impact day-to- day operations. These are broader social issues that must continue to be addressed at a local, state, and national level. The police department continues to participate in homelessness programs and initiatives in Jefferson County and metro-wide. The department is working with other jurisdictions, non-profits, public health, and others to respond to these challenges presented by people experiencing homelessness more effectively. The department continues to maintain a strong collaborative relationship with the Jefferson Center for Mental Health in an effort to more effectively address mental health in the community. The department achieved its goal of training all officers and supervisors with more than three years of experience in Crisis Intervention Training or Mental Health First Aid for First Responders. Also, the department is working with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and the Golden Police Department on a federal grant to initiate a co-responder program for north Jefferson County, Golden, and Wheat Ridge. The co-responder model consists of two-person teams comprised of a law enforcement officer and a behavioral health specialist, who are available to intervene on mental health-related police calls to de-escalate situations that have historically resulted in an arrest and to assess whether the person should be referred for an immediate behavioral health assessment. Recruitment and retention of officers has been challenging nationally and statewide. Wheat Ridge has experienced similar challenges in these areas. During the past three years, the department has experienced both retirements and resignations, coupled with difficulty in hiring sworn officers. In response to the staffing shortages, the department has redeployed resources to address patrol staffing. This has included redeploying special units, which historically generate considerable self-initiated activity. Lastly, the department continues to provide police-led community programs such as Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED), Neighborhood Watch, the Lockbox Program, and the Crime Free Housing program. Staff Report Crime in Wheat Ridge July 16, 2018 Page 4 of 4 SUMMARY The department will continue to monitor and respond to crime, quality of life, and traffic challenges. We will continue to promote community policing and problem-solving efforts to address these challenges. Achieving full staffing levels will allow us to be more proactive in our efforts. The department continues to work to address both sworn and non-sworn staffing issues; however, we are challenged by the national perception of law enforcement, larger agencies recruiting our employees, and the economy in general. The department has spent a considerable effort in recruiting, particularly members of the military, women and minorities. We continue to explore opportunities to retain employees. Memorandum TO: Mayor Bud Starker and City Council FROM: Daniel Brennan, Chief of Police DATE: July 16, 2018 SUBJECT: Staff Report: Cannabis Update In 2014, City Council requested that the Police Department provide an annual update on marijuana in the City of Wheat Ridge. The Police Department was asked to provide an annual report to the City Council on the following three areas: • Marijuana/drug use in Wheat Ridge Schools • Calls for Service and crime at currently licensed marijuana facilities • Marijuana and drug arrests in the city A PowerPoint presentation has been prepared for City Council covering this information. Marijuana arrests in Wheat Ridge schools declined from 58 arrests in the 2012-2013 school year, to 34 arrests in the 2017-2018 school year. There was a 3% decrease in the number of drug/alcohol charges in Wheat Ridge schools. There were no cases of possession of a controlled substance or alcohol compared to 2016/2017. The department’s School Resource Officers taught 81 classes that incorporated drug awareness during 2017-2018. Calls for Service (CFS) at dispensaries in 2017 increased 10% (68 CFS) from 2016. Thirty-three percent of these calls were for alarms, and 31% were calls related to suspicious activity. There were five (5) burglaries, three (3) disturbances, and four (4) theft calls at marijuana facilities in 2017. From a community perspective, there was a 15% decrease in the number of juveniles charged with alcohol or drug violations in 2017. There were 103 people arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs in 2017. Ten percent of these arrests involved marijuana. The department responded to 167 calls for service referenced to heroin in 2017. This data includes 28 heroin-related arrests, 10 known heroin overdoses, and one (1) heroin-related death. The department responded to 494 calls for service referencing methamphetamine, resulting in 115 arrests and two (2) overdoses. Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Patrick Goff, City Manager DATE: July 11, 2018 (for July 16, 2018 Study Session) SUBJECT: Exemption from SB 05-152 Broadband In 2005, the Colorado General Assembly enacted Senate Bill 05-152 (SB 152), which prohibits local governments such as the City of Wheat Ridge from providing cable television services, telecommunication services, or high speed internet services (advanced services), either directly or indirectly, unless such services are authorized by the electorate. Mayor Pro Tem Fitzgerald is requesting City Council to consider an exemption from SB 152 on the November 2018 ballot. SB 152 has been interpreted by some as prohibiting local governments from providing a wide spectrum of services, including such things as internet service in city libraries, parks and community centers; leveraging government infrastructure and partnering with private businesses to provide affordable and high speed internet services throughout the community; and direct provision of broadband services by municipal government where needed. A voter approved exemption from SB 152 would restore local independence and the ability for the City to evaluate all possibilities for next generation broadband services in the City of Wheat Ridge. Since the passage of SB 152, voters in 92 towns and cities and at least 17 counties have overwhelmingly approved measures to allow their local government to decide whether to offer broadband services to their residents.
