STUDY SESSION NOTES CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO Virtual Meeting
February 1, 2021
Mayor Bud Starker called the Study Session to order at 6:30 p.m.
This meeting was conducted as a VIRTUAL MEETING.
No members of the Council or City staff were physically present at the Municipal
building for this meeting; the public did not attend in person.
Mayor Starker welcomed the Council, other elected officials, staff and interested
citizens.
The Mayor also explained the virtual meeting format, how citizens will have the
opportunity to be heard, and the procedures and policies to be followed.
Council members present: Zach Urban, Amanda Weaver, Judy Hutchinson, Korey
Stites, Rachel Hultin, Leah Dozeman, Valerie Nosler Beck, Janeece Hoppe.
Also present: City Attorney Jerry Dahl; City Clerk, Steve Kirkpatrick; Treasurer, Chris
Miller; City Manager Patrick Goff; Chief of Police, Chris Murtha; Director of
Administration, Allison Scheck; Assistant to the City Manager, Marianne Schilling;
Sustainability Coordinator, Kayla Betzold; Temeca Mitchell and Bob Hunt with the
Rocky Mountain Bottling Co., and their environmental sound engineer, Andrew Truitt of
Behrens and Associates, Inc.; Joy Opp, Chair of the Sustainable Wheat Ridge
Committee, other guests and interested citizens.
Citizen’s Right to Speak
Rob Robinson, 4 Hillside Drive – Called to comment on the Sustainable Wheat Ridge
Committee report. He is a member of the Committee but speaks tonight as a citizen
and resident. Our experience during the pandemic is a window looking to our future
with the coming climate crisis. He noted that the proposed staff position, a half-time job,
to work toward sustainability is less than 0.2 percent of the City’s budget. Council
needs to not only approve that proposal but also focus consistently on the climate
change crisis.
Note about Wheat Ridge Speaks:
Citizens may visit the Wheat Ridge Speaks website and enter written comments
of up to 1,000 words on any Council agenda item. The deadline for citizens to
submit comments is 12:00 Noon Mountain Time on the day of a Council session
so that Council members, other elected officials and City Staff have time to
review the comments before the meeting on Monday evening.
The City Clerk’s Office transcribes those Wheat Ridge Speaks comments into
these minutes, placing each comment along with the record for that agenda item,
2
including items that include a public hearing (verbatim, if the comments do not
contain lascivious language or unlawful hate speech).
No comments appeared in Wheat Ridge Speaks for this Council session.
1. Rocky Mountain Bottle Company noise mitigation update
Discussion began at 6:34 pm, approximately :04 minutes into the recording of the
session.
Issue
In 2018, Rocky Mountain Bottle Company (RMBC) began an extensive upgrade to their glass plant to install a new, environmentally friendly furnace. Unfortunately, the new furnace increased the level of noise emanating from the plant into the adjacent neighborhoods. RMBC worked in partnership with the City and the surrounding
neighborhoods and completed significant investments to address the increased noise
coming from the plant. However, the City has continued to receive complaints from the surrounding neighborhoods concerning the noise.
Staff reports
Mr. Goff explained that in response to previous noise complaints, City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 1697 on August 24, 2020 amending Section 16-103 of the Wheat Ridge
Code of Laws concerning the regulation of noise. Section 16-103(C) specifically addresses unlawful noise on or emitting from industrial properties. This Section of the Code has an effective date of February 28, 2021
RMBC has been working diligently to engineer additional solutions to mitigate the noise
issue and to come into compliance with Section 16-103(C) by February 28, 2021. They
have had initial discussions with City staff concerning their proposed solution which includes the construction of a forty-foot-tall sound wall. City Code requires that RMBC submit a specific development plan (SDP) amendment for the sound wall, which will amend the final development plan the City has on file for RMBC. The SDP will be
reviewed by staff and then at a public hearing in front of Planning Commission.
Due to this extensive City review and approval process, completion of the sound wall
will extend several months past the original February 28, 2021 effective date of the
ordinance. City staff will ask City Council for an extension of this effective date.
Representatives from RMBC will provide an update for the public and City Council at
the February 1, 2021 study session on their proposed noise mitigation efforts.
RMBC gave a detailed presentation on progress to date, their engineering design for a
wall to mitigate the noise and their request for a 5 to 7 month extension of the deadline
set by Council in August 2020, when the Ordinance will take effect: February 28, 2021.
Councilmembers had questions and comments:
Councilmembers asked detailed questions about several topics, including:
• Several councilmembers thanked the presenters for their presentation. It was informative and helpful.
3
• Will the new design include a dB meter or other instrumentation to measure the amount of sound reflected back from the proposed sound wall? The answer was
in the affirmative.
• How will we measure the output of initial dB level and the reduction to lesser dB beyond the wall? The engineers will measure both dB levels, to continually ensure that the sound level is acceptable to the adjacent community.
• What is the timeline for completing this project, given that we set the deadline in the Ordinance last August at February 28th, 2021? How will the City help expedite the approvals and building permits?
Mr. Goff said the Planning Commission will approve the project in May, so
building permits can be issued very quickly. Mr. Truitt commented on how they are preparing for construction to begin so that the project is completed by September 2021, and how they plan to ensure a solid wall that will remain rigid even during strong winds.
• Is the timeline for building the wall ambitious or comfortable? Mr. Truitt stated they are confident they can meet the deadline.
• Will the aesthetics of the wall mitigate or reduce the sound reduction? The
sound mitigation will be the primary criterion, aesthetics second.
• Are you asking for a delay or a new ordinance? Mr. Dahl gave Council two options, including a waiver of enforcement or a new Ordinance. Council has passed resolutions in the past to do a waiver or delay or enforcement. Which
option Council chooses depends on Council’s comfort level.
• Can we waive the deadline for just this situation, so as not to delay industrial noise levels elsewhere in the City? Mr. Dahl believes we can target an Ordinance for the industrial subsection of the original ordinance. He also asked
for a date certain by which construction will be finished.
• What will the aesthetic appearance of the wall be like from the street north of the RMBC? Ms. Mitchell stated that they are working closely with the City and the engineers to ensure an attractive appearance.
Mr. Goff explained that because of the size of the structure it will have to meet the standards in the Design Manual.
• Extending the industrial clause of the sound ordinance for additional time will not
impact the enforcement of other parts of the ordinance.
• Do we have hard numbers about what the expected 50% reduction in dB level will mean? Ms. Mitchell stated RMBC is accountable to dB levels in their proposal and permitting language to satisfy the residents in the nearby
neighborhood.
• What are the specific plans for informing the neighborhood about the progress to date and the plans to meet residents’ expectations?
• What is an achievable deadline for completing construction? RMBC had no firm
answer. If the permitting and approvals are completed in May, completion would be in July. If delayed past May, the completion date will also move farther out on the calendar; each month approvals are delayed will mean a month delay in completion of the project.
4
Councilmember Hoppe proposed a consensus to amend the formal Ordinance to allow for this delay in the effective date of the industrial noise section of the ordinance with a deadline of October 1, 2021. The process of formally passing an amendment as a
formal ordinance will require full due process and transparency.
Consensus achieved.
2. Sustainable Wheat Ridge updates
Discussion began at 7:30 pm, approximately :60 minutes into the session.
Issue
City Council requested that Sustainable Wheat Ridge and staff provide updates on the
progress of its Action Plan goals. Additionally, Council requested that staff provide
considerations for updated sustainability-related strategies which could be included in
the City’s Strategic Plan.
Staff reports
Kayla Betzold, Sustainability Coordinator presented that since its original formation in
2017, the committees progress has been recognized consistently and both staff and the
committee have continued to make progress on the Action Plan.
Ms. Betzold introduced Ms. Opp, who then provided an update to City council on its
progress, as well as potential goals and strategies related to 2035 Topic 6: “Wheat
Ridge is committed to environmental stewardship” which may be considered during City
Council’s 2021 Strategic Plan update.
Discussion included:
• Action Plan Progress
• Update the Action Plan
• Set and Prioritize Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Goals
• Research and Prioritize Organized Waste Hauling Options
• Support Environmental Sustainability Policy on a Regional, State, and Federal
Level
• Review Existing City Ordinances to Include an Emphasis on Sustainability
At this time, staff is providing options for City Council to consider when updating the
Strategic Plan. These options are informational only. No action is needed at this time.
Councilmembers had questions and comments:
Councilmembers asked detailed questions about several topics, including:
• Several councilmembers thanked the Committee and the staff for an excellent
report and great progress.
5
• In the five-year staffing plan, we see that in 2022 we plan to increase the
Sustainability Coordinator to a full-time position, and we need to keep that plan in
the forefront as we plan and budget.
• Explain the nexus of Idaho Stop and the Sustainability Committee? What is the
connection between sustainability and not requiring cyclists to obey stop signs if
they can clearly see it is safe to transit an intersection? It encourages alternate
transportation, and studies show the Idaho Stop actually improves cyclist safety.
• Does the Idaho Stop allow cyclists to disobey red lights? No.
3. Liquor Occupation Tax and Liquor License fees
Discussion began at 8:10 pm, approximately 1:40 hours into the session.
Issue
Councilmembers Stites and Urban have expressed a desire to evaluate the impact of waiving or rebating all or a significant portion of both a) the local liquor license fees the City currently collects, along with b) the City of Wheat Ridge liquor occupation taxes.
The potential abatement of these liquor fees and taxes would improve the chances that local businesses suffering from the impacts of the public health emergency will survive financially.
Staff reports
City Clerk Steve Kirkpatrick presented a discussion on the background of the Liquor
Occupation taxes (LOT), liquor licensing fees, and how the hospitality industry generally agree that locally owned and operated restaurants and bars in particular, are among the most at risk businesses due to the pandemic. The Colorado Restaurant Association reports that “thousands of Colorado restaurants have closed,” due to the pandemic, and
the vast majority of those businesses will never re-open.
Discussion included:
• Devastating Impact of Coronavirus on Restaurants and Bars
• Liquor license fees
• Liquor Occupation taxes (LOT)
Staff recommends:
1. Staff recommends that the City Council approve waiving all or the majority
portion of local liquor license fees for 12 months.
2. Staff recommends that for the year of 2021, City Council rebate all or a majority portion of the LOT levied and collected to date in 2021, and waive all or a majority portion of LOT to be levied for the remainder of 2021, for on-premises consumption types of license holders. We refer specifically to classes F, G, and
T. (To date, the city has not issued any license types for either class C or J1.)
6
3. If Council can reach a consensus to move forward, we further recommend that Council ask that Finance staff work with the City Attorney and City Treasurer to design a feasible and legally permissible plan and process to provide this Liquor
License Fee and LOT relief to our small businesses while requiring as little extra
staff effort as practicable.
Councilmembers had questions and comments:
Councilmembers asked detailed questions about several topics, including:
• Councilmembers agreed to include the five on-premises consumption liquor
licensees that are operated by restaurant chains.
• Councilmembers agreed that this benefit should include only those on-premises consumption licensees who have seen significant drops in their sales tax
revenue since the pandemic started. Following due discussion, Councilmembers included in their consensus that a drop of 20% or more should qualify.
• Councilmembers agreed with the City Clerk that restaurants, bars and taverns that qualify will submit a simple form to the Office of the Clerk to seek approval.
Councilmember Hoppe proposed a consensus to direct staff to bring forward to Council
appropriate action that will put into effect:
• A liquor license fee and LOT tax waiver.
• All businesses that have Liquor Licenses for “on-premises” sales will be eligible.
• Those licensees experiencing a loss of gross revenue of 20% or greater over the year before based on City sales tax returns, for business that were in operation for a year or more prior to March 2020.
• For businesses that began operations during the pandemic (operating for less than one year as of March 2020) and are experiencing a loss of gross revenue of 20% or greater compared to projections of sales made prior to opening.
• Waiver will last from April 1, 2021 - March 31, 2022.
• Business must apply to the City Clerk’s office for the waiver.
Consensus achieved.
4. Staff Report(s)
This item began at approximately 8:36 p.m.
Jefferson County manages a small business relief grant program created by the
Colorado Legislature for which 28 Wheat Ridge businesses have applied. The deadline
for applications has been extended to February 8, 2021.
5. Elected Officials’ Report
Councilmember Sites reminded everyone of the District III meeting, on Zoom or in person at the Rec Center, 9:30 AM, Saturday, February 6, 2021.
Councilmember Hultin will hold a limited in-person (20 People) gathering on February
16 at the Rec Center from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. She will repeat the same presentation on
Zoom February 16 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Details will appear on the City website.
7
She also asked that we consider re-labeling Citizen’s Right to Speak to Public Comment to make it clear that any member of the public can speak, either as an individual or representative of a business or organization, not just Wheat Ridge residents. Mr. Goff
commented that that change would require a change in the City Council Rules. The
Mayor suggested that we look at the details during the strategic planning retreat.
Councilmembers Dozeman and Hultin want to bring forward a study session item to discuss Sound Event Permit limits.
The Mayor thanked the presenters on tonight’s agenda items. Remember that there are
children on the streets during nice weather, and many of them are out and about during

No Council meeting on February 15, as the City observes Presidents’ Day.
He expressed condolences to the Cerveny family on the passing of Carl Cerveny, a
Wheat Ridge resident since 1956 and co-founder of our Optimist Club. A memorial
service is planned for Mile Hi Church on Friday, February 26, 2021 at 2:00 pm MST
CITY ATTORNEY’S MATTERS
Nothing tonight.
ELECTED OFFICIALS’ MATTERS
City Clerk Steve Kirkpatrick urged anyone listening to help those seniors and others
who do not have computers or smart devices navigate websites and who want to get a
Co-Vid vaccine to register them for vaccines appointments.
City Treasurer Miller echoed Kirkpatrick and asked us to help others clear the snow
predicted for this weekend.
Councilmember Nosler Beck thanked all who volunteered to serve on the Race and
Equity Task Force. She recalled the hard work by many people to bring this effort to
this point. She urged everyone to persevere and work through any differences
encountered, toward a stronger community in Wheat Ridge.
Councilmember Dozeman echoed Councilmember Nosler Beck’s comments. She also
urged people to continue their participation in the Task Force work and thanked the City
staff for their hard work and excellent engagement with this effort.
Councilmember Stites also expressed his condolences to the Cerveny family. And, he
reminded everyone that if we can find it in Wheat Ridge, buy it in Wheat Ridge.
He also reported on the District III meeting last Saturday and thanked those who
participated in person and via Zoom. He noted that sidewalks along 38th for the length
of the street from Kipling St. to Youngfield St. was a topic of great interest to those who
attended and indicated that he and Councilmember Weaver will follow-up with Public
Works to discuss the matter.
Councilmember Weaver echoed Councilmember Stites thanks. She also asked
whether Mr. Goff or Mr. Johnstone had received any email from the homeowner who
called to complain about building permits. They reported that they have not received
any communication from the homeowner. Mr. Johnstone provided some background on
the situation and described the effort to contact him and resolve the issues he raises.
Councilmember Hultin reminded everyone that she will have one in person district
meeting (limited to 20 participants) on Saturday, February 13 at the Rec Center from
1:00 – 2:30 p.m. She will repeat the same presentation on Zoom Tuesday, February 16
from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Details are available on the City website.
City Council Minutes February 11, 2021 page 9
She also discussed the work she and Councilmember Nosler Beck have done with Ms.
Schilling and Ms. Scheck on an application for All American City designation. She is
very proud of the application Wheat Ridge submitted. She read an excerpt from the
application that encapsulated the pride we have in living in Wheat Ridge.
She also asked about opening municipal facilities after the pandemic abates. Mr. Goff
described the work staff has done and indicated that we can discuss that issue during
the upcoming Strategic Planning Retreat.
Councilmember Urban followed-up on Councilmember Hultin’s questions with respect to
upcoming public hearings. He asked Mr. Dahl to comment on the legal implications of
continuing to meet virtually, or in a hybrid format. He asked that we consider having at
least a hybrid meeting for the formal Council Meeting on March 8, 2021, because we
anticipate strong public interest in the short-term rental ordinance scheduled for that
session.
Councilmember Weaver commented that she is uncomfortable with in person meetings
until a much larger proportion of the citizenry have been vaccinated. Councilmember
Hoppe commented that we should either be all in person on the dais or virtual, but it is
too soon to consider in person meetings. Councilmember Hutchinson agreed with her
peers, it is too soon to consider in person meetings in masse.
Councilmember Weaver respectfully asked Councilmember Urban to table this
discussion for the present and he agreed.
Councilmember Hutchinson felt we had a good meeting tonight and wished everyone
happy Valentine’s Day.
Councilmember Hoppe also thanked all those who have participated tonight and
moreover those who have worked so diligently on the Race and Equity Task Force to
make the progress seen to this point.
Coffee with the Mayor is at 9:00 AM this Saturday, on Zoom. Instructions are on the
City website. He also expressed condolences to the Cerveny family.

MAINTENANCE SERVICES TO HIGH COUNTRY PIPE & UTILITY OF FORT COLLINS, COLORADO IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $40,000

RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________________________ ______________________________ Director of Public Works City Manager
ISSUE: The Public Works Department is requesting award of On-Call Storm Sewer Maintenance
Services. These services are needed in order to provide for the ongoing cleaning, video
inspecting and/or as-needed repair of storm sewer lines and appurtenances within the City as determined by Staff. Based upon bid requirements, Staff recommends award to High Country Pipe & Utility of Fort Collins, Colorado in an amount not to exceed $40,000.
PRIOR ACTION:
Council previously awarded On-Call Storm Sewer Maintenance Services to Quality Pipe Services on November 9, 2015, following a formal solicitation process which included four additional one-year contract renewal periods subject to City review and approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The funds for these services are budgeted in the 2021 Public Works Department General Fund Budget, account number 01-303-700-704, Contractual Services. The budget amount for the contracted on-call storm sewer maintenance services in 2021 is $40,000.

Council Action Form – ITB Storm Sewer On-Call February 22, 2021
Page 2
BACKGROUND: The City recently conducted competitive, formal solicitation ITB-20-25 for On-Call Storm
Sewer Maintenance services. The term for these services is one year with the option to renew for
up to four additional one-year periods, subject to budget and performance approval by the City. Five proposals were received for these specialized services in response to the solicitation. Staff reviewed each bid proposal with respect to vendor qualifications and price schedules. References have also been checked. Based upon the criteria, staff recommends award to the second low
bidder, High Country Pipe & Utility located in Fort Collins, Colorado. The first low bidder, Pro-
Pipe Services, Inc. did not respond to Staff requests for additional information to clarify contractual related requirements. The City has completed recent full scans of the storm sewer system, and mostly relies on this on-call service agreement to handle storm sewer maintenance issues on an as-needed basis.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends award of On-Call Storm Sewer Maintenance services to High Country Pipe & Utility of Fort Collins, Colorado.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to award On-Call Storm Sewer Maintenance services to High Country Pipe & Utility of Fort Collins, Colorado in an amount not to exceed $40,000.” Or,
“I move to deny award of On-Call Storm Sewer Maintenance services to High Country Pipe & Utility of Fort Collins, Colorado for the following reason(s): _______________.” REPORT PREPARED/REVIEWED BY:

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 08-2021 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE WHEAT RIDGE SANITATION DISTRICT REGARDING THE WADSWORTH BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FROM 35TH AVENUE TO INTERSTATE 70
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________________________ ______________________________ Director of Community Development City Manager
ISSUE: The City has been working for several years with the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District to replace their sanitary sewer facilities during the reconstruction of Wadsworth Boulevard between 35th
Avenue and Interstate 70. Including their work in the City’s project greatly simplifies the
construction coordination and reduces the District’s costs. An agreement is needed between the City and the District to construct the improvements and to be reimbursed by the District for their portion of the work.
PRIOR ACTION:
None
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The District’s work will be included in the construction project to improve Wadsworth at no cost to the City. As payments for any work on the District’s facilities are made to the contractor, a pay request will be sent to the District for reimbursement.
BACKGROUND:
Early in the utility coordination process, the District expressed interest in replacing their facilities in Wadsworth. The District was interested in both, replacing the aging facilities, and also
1b
Council Action Form – Wadsworth WRSD Agreement February 22, 2021
Page 2
increasing the size of the sanitary sewer mains to provide additional capacity for the anticipated growth that is and will be occurring along the Wadsworth corridor. Initially, the District was
going to pipe burst the existing pipe and relocate manholes as needed; however, as the design of
the corridor progressed, the need to reconstruct the facilities due to numerous conflicts with the proposed storm sewer system was realized. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is very supportive of including the District’s work in the overall project.
Including the reconstruction of the District’s facilities in the overall Wadsworth Improvement
project has several advantages for CDOT, the City, and the District:
• Traffic impacts of replacing the aging District facilities are less by including their work in the overall project due to having only one construction project.
• Construction coordination will be much easier with the City’s general contractor
supervising all the work.
• The District does not have to pay for separate construction traffic control and to remove or repair the existing pavement.
• The District avoids the cost of doing night work, since most utility work on Wadsworth is
limited to just a few hours each night.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approving the agreement with the District to include their reconstruction work with the Wadsworth Improvement project.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to approve Resolution No. 08-2021, a resolution approving an agreement with the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District regarding the Wadsworth Boulevard Improvement project from 35th Avenue to Interstate 70.”
Or,
“I move to postpone indefinitely Resolution No. 08-2021, a resolution approving an agreement with the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District regarding the Wadsworth Boulevard Improvement project from 35th Avenue to Interstate 70, for the following reason(s)___________________.”

ATTACHMENT 2
removal of the existing pavement, grading, base, concrete curb and gutter, concrete and asphalt
surfacing, sidewalk, and streetscape, within the Phase I limits.
The District consents to the City performing or causing to be performed the Sewer Line
Work and the City agrees to perform or cause to be performed the Sewer Line Work by including

this reference.
2.0 Construction. Phase I of the Project, including the Sewer Line Work shall be
performed by a qualified contractor ("Construction Contractor") retained by the City through a
public bidding process and in accordance all applicable requirements of the State of Colorado
and the City.
3.0 Scope of Work. The Construction Contractor shall perform the Sewer Line Work
illustrated in Exhibit A, in accordance with the Approved Plans, the Scope of Work described in
Exhibit B, including the quantities itemized therein, as well as the standards set forth in the
construction contract between the Construction Contractor and the City. By way of explanation
and not limitation, the City, as part of the construction contract shall require the Construction
Contractor, at no expense to the District, to remove the dry utilities which conflict with the Sewer
Line Work, provide all traffic control necessary for the Sewer Line Work, provide all repaving as
a result of the Sewer Line Work, and obtain any easements necessary for District Facilities that

that the City and District can coordinate with the Construction Contractor to notify District
customers of any work that may affect their service line.
4.0 Construction Phasing. As referenced in paragraph 1 above, the Project will be
constructed by the City in phases. This Agreement pertains only to Phase I of the Project insofar
as the District's obligation to reimburse the City is concerned. The Scope of Work for any
subsequent phase of the Project will be determined at a later date and will be the subject of either
a new agreement or an amendment to this Agreement, if any Sewer Line Work is involved in the
subsequent phase.
5.0 Bidding for Phase I. The City agrees to include the Sewer Line Work as a separate
itemized District-approved bid schedule in the City's bid package for Phase I of the Project. The
City will request that the general contractors bidding on Phase I solicit bids for the Sewer Line
Work from the recommended list of pipeline contractors that the District will provide, which list will
not exceed three contractors. The City will deliver to the District a copy of the bids that the City
receives for Phase I of the Project including the Sewer Line Work and will identify the Construction
Contractor whose bid the City intends to accept ("Recommended Contractor''). The District shall
have ten (10) business days to review, approve and provide comments to the City regarding the ~------Recommended Contractor's bid for the Sewer Line Work. The District's approval of the
Recommended Contractor's bid for the Sewer Line Work shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed; provided, however, the District may withhold its approval if the District:
(i) reasonably believes the Recommended Contractor's bid for the Sewer Line Work includes
(00806055.DOCX/4 }-2
costs that are attributable to other parts of Phase I of the Project; (ii) has not budgeted and
appropriated sufficient funds to pay for the Sewer Line Work based upon the Recommended
Contractor's bid plus a 10% contingency; (iii) the Recommended Contractor's bid exceeds the
District engineer's estimate for the Sewer Line Work by more than 25%; or (iv) the District believes
that the Recommended Contractor is not reasonably qualified in terms of standards of
construction or reasonable concerns related to past references contacted to verify the
Recommended Contractor's ability to complete the Scope of Work within the bid provided.
§.J If District Objects to Bid. If the District objects to the Recommended Contractor's
bid for any of the reasons set forth above, the City and District will meet with the Recommended
Contractor for the purpose of resolving the District's objections within five (5) business days of
the City's receipt of the District's objections. If the District's objection relates to the amount of the
Recommended Contractor's bid, the City will use its best efforts to get the Recommended
Contractor to reduce its bid for the Sewer Line Work. If within three (3) business days after the
meeting the District still objects to the Recommended Contractor's bid, the City may nonetheless
award a contract for the construction of the Phase I Project, including the Sewer Line Work to the
Recommended Contractor, unless the District determines the cost of the Sewer Line Work is
unreasonable and so notifies the City, in which case the Sewer Line Work will be removed from
the construction contract and not performed with Phase I of the Project.
5.2 No Contract Awarded. If for any reason the bids for Phase I of the Project are not
acceptable to the City, or for any other reason the City does not award a contract for the
construction of Phase I of the Project, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force
and effect.

shall promptly and without cost to the City or the District, complete and replace any defective
material and/or cure any missing and defective work.
7.0 District's Contact with the Construction Contractor. The District agrees to provide
field inspections, but will not formally supervise, direct or control the Construction Contractor. If
the District observes any work or materials relating to the Sewer Line Work that is not being
{00806055.DOCX/ 4 }-3
performed in accordance with, or does not conform with, the contract documents, including the
Approved Plans, the District shall notify the City representative, who shall promptly bring the
matter to the attention of the Construction Contractor. Notwithstanding the above, the District
may meet with the Construction Contractor on site and communicate its concerns to the
Construction Contractor provided the City representative or his or her designee is also present at
such meetings. The Parities acknowledge, however, that subject to this Agreement, all formal

regarding the Sewer Line Work component of said Project, District must approve the proposed
change order, if as a result of the proposed change order the total amount of reimbursement to

_______________________________ ______________________________ Director of Community Development City Manager
ISSUE: The City has been working for several years with the Wheat Ridge Water District to replace their water mains and other facilities during the reconstruction of Wadsworth Boulevard between 35th
Avenue and Interstate 70. Including their work in the City’s project greatly simplifies the
construction coordination and reduces their costs. An agreement is needed between the City and the District to construct the improvements and to be reimbursed by the District for their portion of the work.
PRIOR ACTION:
None
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The District’s work will be included in the construction project to improve Wadsworth at no cost to the City. As payments for the District’s facilities are made to the contractor, a pay request will be sent to the District for reimbursement.
BACKGROUND:
Early in the utility coordination process for the Wadsworth Improvement Project, the District expressed interest in replacing their facilities in Wadsworth. The District was interested in both
1c
Council Action Form – Wadsworth WRWD Agreement February 22, 2021
Page 2
replacing the aging facilities and also increasing the size of the water mains to provide additional capacity for the anticipated growth that is and will be occurring along the Wadsworth Corridor.
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is very supportive of including the
District’s work in the overall project.
Including the reconstruction of the District’s facilities in the overall Wadsworth Improvement project has several advantages for CDOT, the City, and the District:
• Traffic impacts of replacing the aging District facilities are less by including their work in
the overall project due to having only one construction project.
• Construction coordination will be much easier with the City’s general contractor supervising all of the work.
• The District does not have to pay for separate construction traffic control and to remove or repair the existing pavement.
• The District avoids the cost of doing night work, since most utility work on Wadsworth is limited to just a few hours each night.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approving the agreement with the District to include their reconstruction work with the Wadsworth Improvement project.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution No. 09-2021, a resolution approving an agreement with the
Wheat Ridge Water District regarding the Wadsworth Boulevard Improvement Project from 35th
Avenue to Interstate 70.” Or,
“I move to postpone indefinitely Resolution No. 09-2021, a resolution approving an agreement
with the Wheat Ridge Water District regarding the Wadsworth Boulevard Improvement Project from 35th Avenue to Interstate 70, for the following reason(s)__________________________.” REPORT PREPARED/REVIEWED BY:

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: MOTION TO AWARD A CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING
CONSULTING SERVICES FOR PHASE III OF THE WADSWORTH BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TO HDR ENGINEERING, INC., DENVER, CO, IN THE AMOUNT OF $90,413.93
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________________________ ______________________________
Community Development Director City Manager
ISSUE: Contracts have been previously awarded to HDR Engineering, Inc. to complete the survey, design plans, and Environmental Assessment for the Wadsworth Improvement project. Since the
project will be advertised for bids soon, a contract for construction services needs to be executed for HDR to serve as the Engineer of Record during construction.
PRIOR ACTION: On March 28, 2016, Council approved a contract with HDR to complete Phase I of the Wadsworth Project: the survey, conceptual (30%) design and plans, and the Environmental
Assessment (EA). In 2017, additional work was identified involving the historical status of
several properties along the Wadsworth Corridor. Amendments to HDR’s Phase I contract were approved by Council on May 22, 2017 and November 13, 2017.
On August 27, 2018, Council approved a contract with HDR to complete Phase II of the Wadsworth Project: completion of the preliminary and final design, preparation of construction
plans, and obtaining necessary state and federal approvals. On July 13, 2020, Council approved a
contract amendment for additional items that were beyond the Phase II scope of work. On December 14, 2020, Council approved a contract amendment with HDR to prepare the Phase 1 construction documents.
1d
Council Action Form – Wadsworth HDR Phase III Contract February 22, 2021
Page 2
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed fee for these services over a two-year period is $90,413.93 and is included in the
overall construction budget for this project.
Funding for the construction phase of this project is budgeted in 2021 and 2022 in both the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and 2E Bond Fund budgets.
BACKGROUND: On March 28, 2016, Council approved a contract with HDR to complete Phase I of the
Wadsworth Project: the survey, conceptual (30%) design and plans, and prepare the
Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA is the federally required process to approve a final roadway design when federal funding is involved. The consultant team, City staff and CDOT started working to investigate and resolve issues identified in the PEL. In particular, the need to improve the traffic capacity at the major intersections of 38th Avenue and 44th Avenues was
addressed further.
Staff provided an update on the funding and budget to City Council during the September 21, 2020 study session. During that meeting, the cost increases experienced during Phases I and II—the environmental phase and the design and ROW phase—were discussed. These increases have impacted Phase III (construction) and resulted in available construction funding of between $23
and $24 million.
The funding available allows approximately 2/3 of the project to be constructed. Since the second TIP grant was for the northern portion of the project, and would be lost if that construction work is not completed, the decision has been made to start the first phase of construction at the I-70 ramps and improve Wadsworth as far south as available construction
funding allows.
The Phase 1 plans have been completed for a construction project that starts just south of 41st Avenue (where Wendy’s/McDonald’s are located) and terminates at the I-70 ramps. There are a number of design and traffic considerations that make this a logical southern termination for the first phase of construction. On December 14, 2020, Council approved a contract amendment with
HDR to repackage the plans for the Phase 1 contract documents.
In addition to preparing construction plans for the transition from the proposed to the existing improvements at Wendy’s/McDonald’s, HDR has prepared four bid alternatives for various improvements between 35th and 41st Avenues, mostly focused on constructing the sidewalks and streetscape improvements in case additional funding becomes available.
For Phase III, HDR will primarily be providing answers and solutions to design related questions
that may arise during construction. This will be handled through a formal Request For Information (RFI) process. They will also be assisting during the initial meetings with the contractor and public to transition the project from the design team to the construction team.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: MOTION TO APPROVE QUARTERLY PAYMENTS TO THE
JEFFERSON COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS AUTHORITY FOR E-911 CALL-TAKING AND POLICE RADIO DISPATCH SERVICES NOT TO EXCEED $645,743 FOR 2021
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING
BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________________________ ______________________________ Chief of Police City Manager
ISSUE:
The Police Department is requesting authorization of payment to the Jefferson County
Communications Authority (Jeffcom) in the amount of $645,743, to be paid in quarterly amounts. This amount is the City’s 2021 share of costs for the regional call-taking and dispatch center for police and fire agencies in Jefferson County.
PRIOR ACTION:
The City entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) to provide for a regional communications authority for E-911 and police radio dispatching services on March 28, 2016. City Council subsequently approved a Dispatcher Transition and License Agreement on December 11, 2017, and approved the Member Services Agreement on February 26, 2018.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City is responsible for 6.1% of the operating costs for Jeffcom, which is $645,743 in 2021, to be paid in quarterly payments of $161,435.75. These costs were anticipated and were included in the 2021 Police Department General Fund Budget, under account number
01-201-700-750 (Police Administration). There was no cost increase between 2020 and 2021.

BACKGROUND: Discussions regarding a regional communications authority to provide E-911 and dispatch radio
services began in 2009, when chief law enforcement representatives in Jefferson County agreed
to examine the consolidation and regionalization of services that would benefit the agencies and community. Two consultant studies were conducted to examine whether consolidation of E-911 centers were beneficial to each agencies community. Both studies concluded that there was significant opportunity to enhance services to citizens, both financially and in level of service.
During these discussions, a combination of sources were identified to fund Jeffcom. These funding sources included member agencies, fees collected from service users, and contributions from the Jefferson County Emergency Communications Authority (JCECA). An IGA was subsequently approved by each member agency in early 2016. The IGA outlines a funding
formula termed the Equitable Sharing Cost Allocation Funding Formula. The formula includes
standardized staffing costs, taking into account the costs expended by each Member to provide its own emergency services communications and dispatching center. The formula includes costs for supplies, services, equipment, maintenance and reserve funding, as well as employee salaries, benefits and training. Per the IGA, the City is responsible for 6.1% of the operating costs for
Jeffcom, which equates to $645,743 in 2021. This amount is divided into quarterly installments
of $161,435.75. E-911 call-taking and police dispatching services transitioned to Jeffcom on March 22, 2018, with the last agencies transitioning in April, 2019.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that council approve and allow administrative payment of the quarterly 2021 Jeffcom payments in an amount not to exceed $645,743.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to approve quarterly payments to the Jefferson County Communications Authority for E-911 call-taking and police radio dispatch services not to exceed $645,743 for 2021.” Or,
“I move to deny quarterly payments to the Jefferson County Communications Authority for E-911 call-taking and police radio dispatch services not to exceed $645,743 for 2021 for the following reason(s) .”

TITLE: COUNCIL BILL NO. 03-2021 – AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
ORDINANCE 1697, SERIES 2020, CONCERNING
REGULATION OF NOISE
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING (2/8/2021)
BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (2/22/2021) RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________________________ ______________________________ City Attorney City Manager
ISSUE: The current Code of Laws Section 16-103.C noise ordinance will apply to industrial operations as of February 28, 2021.The Rocky Mountain Bottle Company, which would be regulated by the ordinance, has developed a sound mitigation wall for its operation, which will not be completed
before mid-2021. This Ordinance extends the effective date for the industrial noise standards
until October 1, 2021.
PRIOR ACTION: In August 2020, Council adopted Ordinance 1697, which substantially revised the City’s noise regulations with the following main elements:
1. A hybrid approach for a noise ordinance (i.e. set decibel level limits for industrial zoned
districts as a reasonableness standard for all other zone districts)
2. Unreasonable noise is prohibited especially between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.
3. A permit process for public events (live outside amplified music on patios, etc.) andspecial events (Carnation Festival, etc.) outside of the hours 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
4. Any unreasonable noise 50' or more from noise source is prohibited.

5. Exemptions provided for construction, fireworks, loading operations, homeowner
activities, road improvements and fire and police .
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The overall financial impact of this Ordinance is negligible.
BACKGROUND:
While the majority of Ordinance 1697 went into effect in August 2020, the (new) Code Section 16-
103.C was set by that Ordinance to be effective on February 28, 2021. This was intended to give Rocky Mountain Bottle Company time to implement noise reduction actions at its plant. Since that time, the company has engaged noise reduction experts and has developed a more comprehensive plan, relying on a significant noise wall. This construction requires additional review under the City
Code, and after approval, will need to be constructed, with projected completion no earlier than mid-
2021.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to approve Council Bill No. 03-2021, an ordinance amending Ordinance 1697, Series
2020, concerning regulation of noise, on second reading, and that it takes effect upon adoption, as permitted by Section 5.11 of the Charter. Or,
“I move to postpone indefinitely Council Bill No. 03-2021, an ordinance amending Ordinance 1697, Series 2020 concerning regulation of noise, for the following reason(s)______________.” REPORT PREPARED/REVIEWED BY:

ARTICLE XIV IN CHAPTER 11 ENTITLED SHORT-TERM RENTAL LICENSES AND IN CONNECTION THEREWITH MAKING CONFORMING AMENDMENTS IN CHAPTERS 22 AND 26

QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________________________ ____________________________________ Community Development Director City Manager
ISSUE: The City of Wheat Ridge does not currently define or regulate short-term rentals (STRs) in the
Code of Laws. Short-term rentals are dwelling units, or portions of dwelling units, that are used for lodging accommodations for transient occupancy for a period of less than 30 consecutive days. STRs have existed in one form or fashion for decades but have become much more prevalent as a land use phenomenon in the last 10 years. They are commonly listed on web-based platforms including Airbnb, VRBO, and Expedia. The purpose of this ordinance is to define STRs and allow,
license and regulate them.
PRIOR ACTION: This topic has been a focus of City Council over the last two years. Addressing short-term rentals (STRs) was identified as a priority in City Council’s 2018/2019 Strategic Plan, and a study session
was held in March 2019 to begin learning about the various regulatory options. City Council discussed the regulation and licensing of short-term rentals in study sessions again on October 21, 2019 and April 6, 2020.

Council Action Form – Short-Term Rentals February 22, 2021

Most recently on November 2, 2020, Council reached consensus to move an ordinance forward as presented in this Council Action Form and attachments. The ordinance provided is a result of City
Council’s consensus, a multi-department collaboration of City staff and the City Attorney, and
research and coordination with other municipalities also regulating STRs. Planning Commission reviewed the Chapter 26 portions of the proposed ordinance at a public hearing on December 17, 2020 and recommended approval. Meeting minutes from the Planning
Commission public hearing are attached. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will receive revenues from this program. STR hosts will pay an annual license fee and will remit 10% lodgers’ taxes to the City on the value of each rental. To help manage the
workload and ensure a quality experience for STR hosts, the City will partner with a vendor to
manage a portion of the licensing, compliance and tax collection work. Program fees for 2021, inclusive of implementation and monthly subscription costs, are estimated at $13,450. This cost will be offset by license application fees. Staff has prepared a supplemental revenue and expense appropriation for Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND:
Current Code City Code is silent to the concept of short-term rentals, particularly contemporary interpretations of what constitutes a short-term rental and a short-term rental contract. As of the date of this report,
staff estimate there are approximately 160 short-term rentals operating in Wheat Ridge. Due to the
Code’s silence, these STRs are by default considered to be prohibited. That said, the lack of any specific code language makes it challenging to enforce upon STRs. Long-term rentals are permitted and are generally considered to be a duration of greater than one
month. The one-month threshold is referenced in Section 26-123 in the context of the definitions
for two-family and multi-family dwelling units. The code has no prohibition on long-term rentals meaning every legal dwelling unit in the City is permitted to be rented on a long-term basis. While the code does not currently address STRs, it does include definitions and regulations for
other types of transient occupancy. Rooming/boarding is defined in Section 26-123 and is a
permitted accessory use in residential and agricultural zone districts (Section 26-204). Rooming/boarding is specifically an accessory use to a dwelling, where in addition to a family, no more than two (2) people unrelated to the family are provided lodging and meals for seven (7) or more days. This definition and allowance are limiting and do not align with contemporary
expectations for STRs or transient lodging.
Bed and Breakfast is defined in Section 26-123 and is a permitted use in commercial and mixed-use zone districts, and a special use in residential and agricultural zone districts (Section 26-204). Bed and Breakfast operations are subject to additional regulations in Section 26-608, including
minimum lot size, parking requirements, and signage allowances. Bed and Breakfasts are
essentially owner-occupied commercial properties that function as small hotels with guest rooms
Council Action Form – Short-Term Rentals February 22, 2021
Page 3
and take on a different character than an STR. Staff is unaware of any existing Bed and Breakfasts in the City. Traditional hotel/motel land uses are permitted in mixed use districts and special uses
in some commercial districts.
Proposed Code City Council has been clear in their direction to staff to craft an ordinance that allows short-term rentals, but limits their proliferation, creates appropriate licensing, and puts significant
responsibility on the STR host to “be a good neighbor.” The proposed code amendment reflects
City Council’s consensus. In consultation with the City Attorney’s office and the staff working group, revisions to Chapter 11 (License, Permits, and Miscellaneous Business Regulations) and Chapter 26 (Zoning and Development) have been prepared. Minor revisions to Chapter 22 (Taxation) are also included in the ordinance.
Chapter 11 edits: A new Article XIV, entitled “Short-Term Rental Licenses” was added to Chapter 11, which contains the following:
• Requirement to obtain an STR business license
• Requirement to collect and remit lodgers’ tax according to provisions of Chapter 22
• Application requirements including emergency contact, safety certifications, housing type certifications, parking requirement certifications, proof of ownership, current property and liability insurance, a description of the space to be used as an STR, and the application fee
• Operational requirements including applicant’s requirement to notify adjacent property owners, posting of the STR business license and contact info within the STR, age restrictions, and advertisement restrictions
• Renewal, suspension, and revocation provisions
• Provisions on failure to register and the waiting period required to re-apply if found to be operating without a license Chapter 22 edits: Short-term rentals were specifically added to the definition of “lodging services.”
All lodging services are required to remit Lodgers’ Tax. The City Attorney found that the existing
definitions of lodging services already covers short-term rentals, meaning STRs are eligible and required to remit tax, but the specific term was added for clarity. Chapter 26 edits: A new section in Chapter 26, Section 26-645 entitled “Short-Term Rentals” was
added. In addition, definitions related to STRs were added to and modified in Section 26-123
(definitions) and to use charts in Sections 26-204 and 26-1111. The new Section 26-645 contains the following:
• Permitted locations of STRs
• Maximum number per STR host (one non-owner occupied and one owner-occupied STR), with different requirements for apartments and mixed-use developments in certain zone districts, and for condominiums to limit overall proliferation in condo developments where each unit is individually owned
• Requirements including obtaining a license, operating in a legal dwelling unit, meeting building codes, prohibiting in temporary buildings, prohibiting in deed-restricted affordable housing, and requiring parking if the property does not currently meet parking requirements
Council Action Form – Short-Term Rentals February 22, 2021
Page 4
• Maximum number per Council district (the “cap”) and how that is calculated
Recommendation and Next Steps As noted above, City Council has discussed the regulation and licensing of short-term rentals at several study sessions and reached consensus to move an ordinance forward as presented in this staff report. The proposed ordinance will provide staff with the ability to license and regulate STRs
and provide clear direction to City residents about requirements for STRs and potential impacts of
STRs in the community. The ordinance balances the Council’s desire to invite short-term renters to Wheat Ridge but also to protect the character of the community and its neighborhoods. There are likely some provisions in this ordinance that warrant further consideration from City
Council. For example, the length of the grace period for an STR host to come into licensing
compliance with the ordinance is six (6) months as drafted (Sec. 11-506). Council may choose to lengthen or shorten that time period. Additionally, Lodgers’ Tax remittance becomes required on the earlier of license issuance or November 1, 2021. Council may instead choose that Lodgers’ Tax be remitted to the City as of the effective date of the ordinance, May 1, 2021.
If approved, staff will coordinate with the chosen third-party vendor to set up an application process and coordinate notice to affected property owners. Staff will create a guide for short-term rental hosts and a web page with application information, rules/regulations found in the ordinance in a public-facing format. Staff will also refine the internal processes for review and approval of
STR licenses. The proposed ordinance effective date of May 1, 2021 allows staff and the vendor
almost 10 weeks to prepare for the initial notice and registration period. A grace period of six (6) months for the proposed district cap of STRs is built into the ordinance, to take effect November 1, 2021. Staff will complete a detailed and current analysis of the number of short-term rentals prior to implementation of the cap and will develop a waitlist procedure.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance. RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to approve Council Bill No. 02-2021, an ordinance amending the Wheat Ridge Code of
Laws to adopt a new Article XIV in Chapter 11 entitled Short-Term Rental Licenses and in connection therewith making conforming amendments in Chapters 22 and 26, on second reading, and that it take effect on May 1, 2021.”

x Building Code Advisory Board
I am an architect living in Wheat Ridge and I have served on this board for about 10 years and I would
like to continue that service.
Most of the issues that have come before the board during my tenure have been homeowners that have
either not complied with the orders of the Chief Building Official. They generally involve work being performed by the homeowner. I am concerned that the construction being performed be safe and habitable.
I have served on the City of Denver Board of Appeals. I am licensed to practice architecture in the State of Coloreado
I am the owner of an active architectural practice and from time to time my schedule may impact the
work of the board, however, that has never been an issue in the past.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 10-2021 – A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2021 GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO REFLECT THE APPROVAL OF A SUPPLEMENTAL
BUDGET APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $13,450
FOR SHORT-TERM RENTAL PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING
BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________________________ ______________________________ Administrative Services Director City Manager
ISSUE:
City Council is considering an ordinance to license and regulate short-term rentals (STRs). Staff
conducted a competitive solicitation process to select a vendor to manage a portion of the licensing, compliance and tax collection work. As this program had not been solidified at the time the 2021 budget was developed, fees in the amount of $13,450 for the selected vendor, LodgingRevs, have not been appropriated.
PRIOR ACTION: City Council discussed regulation and licensing of STRs in study sessions on October 21, 2019, April 6, 2020 and November 2, 2020. During these study sessions, Council provided direction that the fees associated with the STR program should cover program management costs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Per the pricing table, implementation costs will be $6,450 and monthly subscription fees will be $875 per month for the selected modules. Assuming the City will pay for eight months in 2021, the total budget supplemental required is $13,450. Staff recommends an annual STR license fee
of $200. Due to the pandemic, it is prudent to conservatively project revenues, therefore staff
recommends amending 2021 revenues for the same amount. Staff will monitor license and lodgers’ tax remittance to better inform the 2022 budget.

Council Action Form– Supplemental Budget Appropriation STR February 22, 2021
Page 2
BACKGROUND: At the November 2, 2020 study session, Council reached consensus that staff concurrently work
on selecting a program management vendor while finalizing the STR ordinance. A staff team
conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation. Five firms provided proposals. Staff interviewed and participated in software demonstrations of four firms. After careful review and analysis, LodgingRevs is the chosen vendor.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the supplemental budget request. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution 10-2021, a resolution amending the fiscal year 2021 General
Fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of
$13,450 for short-term rental program management.” Or,
“I move to postpone indefinitely Resolution 10-2021, a resolution amending the fiscal year 2021
General Fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $13,450 for short-term rental program management for the following reason(s) ____________________________________________________________.”

BACKGROUND: On September 21, 2020, City Council discussed the creation of a Race and Equity Task Force in
detail. The goal of the task force is to carry out a thorough review of City policies, services, and
ordinances to identify policies and practices that may contribute to discrimination. Members will be expected to serve for at least one year. The Task Force will provide updates to City Council throughout the year and will report
recommendations, including ways in which success will be measured toward becoming a more
inclusive and responsive community. City Council provided direction that staff utilize a skilled facilitator help the task force get started. Staff has since selected The Equity Project, LLC as a single source provider of equity-related
task force facilitation services. The facilitation will be led by Dr. Nita Mosby Tyler, who
specializes in the development and delivery of leadership, equity, diversity, cultural responsiveness and inclusiveness training programs and strategies. Dr. Mosby Tyler will provide four months of facilitation services for the Race and Equity Task Force.
