CITIZENS' RIGHT TO SPEAK
David Ferlic, invited everybody to the International World Laughter Day taking place
from 1 :30-4:30pm this Sunday, May 4th at the Wheat Ridge Senior Center at 6363 W.
35th Avenue.
Tom Meiers recently received a survey in the mail from the City of Wheat Ridge. One of
the questions was "have you talked to a City Employee and what was your experience?"
It immediately reminded him of Heather Geyer and Janice Smothers, who have helped
him tremendously and are always kind and a pleasure to talk with.
Louise Turner is interested in the Referendum Process and related her experiences as
a petition passer 5 years ago when the petitions were prepared and furnished by the
City Clerk. She commented that the law today is the same it was 5 years ago and the
current Clerk has done nothing improper. She hopes the current situation is put to rest
and we appreciate the good people we have.
John McMillin related his impressions and feelings regarding the Olinger property. He
objected initially to the spot zoning and later to the misleading statements, questionable
judgements and ruthless legal tactics. The people by an overwhelming margin want the
house saved.
Claudia Worth reported that the Historic Society has completed the list of information
on all historic properties in Wheat Ridge which are now collected and on CD; the list is
also on Wheat Ridge Historical Society website and can be downloaded. She
presented the CD to the City Clerk at no charge.
Rich Dougherty addressed personal property rights. Personal property rights are
guaranteed to us by the Constitution. He believes that this right is being taken away
from the owners of the Olinger property. The surrounding cities have changed with the
times, but Wheat Ridge has basically remained the same. It's time to move forward and
allow property owners to develop their properties the way they want to and not what a
few citizens want at great cost to the owner.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Motion by Mrs. Langworthy to add reconsideration of Resolution 20-2008 concerning a
billboard impact fee study as new Agenda Item 3; seconded by Ms. Berry; carried 5-1
with Mr. Womble voting no.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City's Economic Development Division currently shares office space on loan from WR2020 in
the 1st Bank Building at 44th and Wadsworth. WR2020 recently hired a Finance Manager and as a
result they need to reclaim the office space used currently by the City's Economic Development
Specialist (EDS). After pursuing various alternatives for new office space for the EDS, staff is
recommending a temporary solution to house the EDS in a vacant tenant space adjacent to the
WR2020 offices in the 1 st Bank building. Staff has received a proposal from I st Bank for a 6-month
lease at $985/month. Staff is requesting a supplemental budget appropriation of $6,310 to
accommodate 6 months of rent costs and $400 of incidental costs associated with the move.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The Economic Development Specialist is an employee in Community Development Department and
ideally would be housed within that department's office space on the second floor of City Hall.
Being located in City hall would facilitate interaction with the rest of the department and other
departments that are housed in City Hall. Additionally, the EDS has a real need to have access to the
City's network server for access to shared files and the City's GIS database. As City Council is
aware, the EDS has recently contracted with an outside consultant to develop a web based'business
directory that will be linked to the City's GIS. The EDS has also recently received training on a new
GIS software platform that we have added to the City's GIS, which is called "Business Analyst".
This software provides the ability to strategically analyze market factors in different locations
throughout the City, which puts the City on the leading edge of using GIS for economic
development purposes.
For these reasons, staff has a strong desire to relocate the EDS to City Hall. However, the existing
space configuration does not provide a space to accommodate any additional staff. Staff has
requested a proposal from Gallun Snow and Associates to offer options to reconfigure the second
floor space occupied by Community Development and Public Works to accommodate an additional
staff person. Gallun Snow is also the consultant that has been retained by the City to analyze the
future space needs for City Hall. We anticipate contracting with Gallun Snow on the more detailed
second floor space analysis in the next several weeks and their work is expected to take a minimum
of 30-60 days. Their work product would then require some amount of physical reconfiguration of
the second floor space.
In order to allow all of these events to occur over the next 3-6 months, staff has pursued options for
temporary office space to house the EDS. We believe the most logical option is to temporarily lease
the vacant office space immediately adjacent to the WR2020 suite in the 1 st Bank Building at 44th
and Wadsworth. This location provides a level of continuity for citizens and the members of the
business community who conduct business with the Economic Development Division. It also
provides for some cost efficiencies in that existing internet and phone connections can be maintained
with some minor reconfigurations. Additionally, WR2020 will allow the EDS to continue to share
office equipment such as printers, fax machines and copiers. A lease term of 6-months at
$985/month has been negotiated. An additional $400 is anticipated to relocated phone and internet
services and other minor moving expenses. Staff is requesting a supplemental budget appwp,;ation
in the amount of $6,31 0 to cover these unanticipated expenses.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
In considering how to accommodate office space for the EDS, existing City facilities were evaluated.
It was determined that a location other than City Hall would not be viable given the close interaction
that the EDS has with staff members in various other City Departments. Also, as discussed
previously, the need to have access to the City server for shared files and the GIS is a high priority.
The existing space configuration in City Hall was evaluated in an effort to identifY any existing
space that might be occupied by the EDS as either a short or long term solution. No existing space
was identified. For temporary short term solutions, leased commercial space on the commercial
corridors was considered. The most suitable short term lease option is the space in 1 st Bank, for the
reasons stated previously.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The requested supplemental budget appropriation is $6,310. There are adequate funds available in
the General Fund undesignated reserves to pay for this supplemental budget request.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"1 move to approve Resolution 24-2008 - A Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year 2008 General
Fund Budget to Reflect the Approval of a Supplemental Budget Appropriation in an Amount not to
Exceed $6,310 for the Purpose of Leasing Temporary Office Space for the Economic Development
Division of the Community Development Department."

Memorandum
TO:
Ken Johnstone, Community Development Director
FROM:
Ryan Stachelski, Economic Development Specialist
DATE:
May 1, 2008
SUBJECT:
Proposal for Economic Development office relocation
Currently the Economic Development (ED) Division is housed within the Wheat Ridge 2020
office. Due to the recent expansion of the Wheat Ridge 2020 staff, the office space that the ED
Division is currently occupying must be vacated to allow for the new Wheat Ridge 2020 staff
member. As a result, several relocation options have been explored.
The ideal location for the ED Division would be at the City Hall facilities, however, due to
ongoing space issues, at this time it will not be possible to move to City Hall. It is noted that
several City staff members are working toward that goal in a six to nine month time frame.
However, in the interim, new office space must be located on a short term basis.
It is recommend by the ED Division that office space directly adjacent to the Wheat Ridge 2020
be leased on a short term basis, for a term of approximately 6 months. The costs associated with
this relocation are as follows:
I. Lease Rate is $985 per month, all inclusive.
2. A one time phone and internet relocation expense in an amount not to exceed
$400.
At present, these are the only increased costs that are anticipated. Some of the positive aspects of
the recommend relocation site are as follows:
1. Due to the proximity ofthe new office space relative to the old office space the
ED Division will be able to maintain a level of continuity with respect to location.
2. The ED Division will be able to maintain use of Wheat Ridge 2020's office
equipment and therefore not have a need to procure additional office equipment at
the City's expense.
3. The relocation of the ED Division will be relatively swift and will be
accomplished with the help of the City's facilities maintenance.
The recommended date of relocation would be as soon as possible, as the new staff member for
Wheat Ridge 2020 has already started. The relocation suite is ready to be occupied and does not
need to be retrofitted, with the exception of connecting the telephone and internet.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Wheat Ridge Recreation Center fitness area has three LifeFitness ellipticals, three StairMaster Club
Stride ellipticals and three StairMaster stair climbers which were all purchased between 2000 and 2005
that need to be replaced. All the equipment is heavily used by all ages and abilities of participants at the
Recreation Center. These pieces of cardiovascular equipment are a part of the total cardiovascular
equipment that is available; other cardio equipment includes ellipticals, treadmills, stationary bikes, and
a rowing machine.
On April 15,2008 four (4) bids were received, All bids met the initial bid requirements. Bids were
evaluated for specification requirements and trade-in allowances. Staff recommends award to the
following: Commercial Fitness Solutions in Littleton, Colorado in the amount of $9,922; Advanced
Exercise Equipment in Littleton, Colorado, in the amount of $9,175; and Fitness Systems Inc. in
Colorado Springs, Colorado in the amount of$15,285.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The three LifeFitness ellipticals, three StairMaster Club Stride ellipticals and three StairMaster stair
climbers have reached their life expectancy in regards to wear on the equipment. The maintenance
required, both in parts and manpower, has reached a point where it is no longer cost effective to
maintain. More recent technology and research in the field of Exercise Science has provided for newer
machines with different ranges of motion as well as more user friendly consoles.
On April 15, 2008, four (4) bids were received. The apparent low and fully responsive bidders were as
follows: Commercial Fitness Solutions in Littleton, Colorado, $10,622 for two Cybex ArcTrainers;
Advanced Exercise Equipment in Littleton, Colorado, $9,500 for LifeFitness Ellipticals 95Xi; Fitness
Systems Inc. in Colorado Springs, Colorado, $17,660 for Precor EFX 576i Ellipticals and Expresso
Bikes.
Staff recommends trading in two StairMaster FreeClimbers to Commercial Fitness for a total of $700.
Staff recommends trading in one StairMaster FreeClimber for $100 and one StairMaster ClubStride for
$225 with Advanced Exercise for a total of$325.
Staff recommends trading in the existing three LifeFitness Ellipticals for $1,950 and one StairMaster
Club Stride for $425 with Fitness Systems for a total of$2,375.
Total bid award after trading in old equipment for $3,400 is $34,382.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
To not award bid for the cardio equipment and therefore not offer state of the art fitness equipment

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Anderson Park, located at 4355 Field St. is in need of a new irrigation pumping station to replace the
existing pump system installed in 1983. The scope of the project includes replacement of the existing
non-potable irrigation pump in the existing below grade concrete vault. A new pump system with
automatic filtration, sump pump, ventilation, lighting controls, piping and electrical controls will be
installed. The pump replacement allows for the use of non-potable water for irrigation as opposed to
the higher cost potable water.
On April 29, two (2) bids were received. Only one bid met the bid specifications and was within
budget. The other bid was over budget. A ward is based on qualifications, experience, product, and
fee schedule. The apparent low bidder was AJI Irrigation, Inc., Denver, CO in the total amount of
$83,568.00. AJI Irrigation met all of the bid specifications and budget. References were checked.
Staff recommends award to AJI Irrigation, Inc., Denver, CO in the total amount of$83,568.00
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
This project was presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission as part of the 2008 budget
information.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The existing pump system was installed as part of the irrigation system in Anderson Park in 1983 as
a means to use the ditch water rights to water the park. The pump system draws water from the
Oulette Ditch until the water level in Clear Creek is too low for water to enter the inlet at the ditch
headgate. There is presently a backup source of potable water when the ditch water is no longer
available in late July to early August. The cost of the new pumping system will pay for itself
through the savings in potable water costs in a period ofihree to four years. The lifespan of the new
system is twenty plus years.
The new pump system is designed for better filtration and better control of the flow of pressure
throughout the piping of the irrigation system, reducing repairs that could have an effect on the many
programs scheduled in Anderson Park. In preparation for the new pump system components, the
vault will be cleaned, repaired and painted. The project replaces the existing electrical system wiring
and conduit from an existing service to a new above ground control panel location.
The existing pond will have a new intake screen, piping and filter flush with discharge piping from
the new pond intake and discharge locations. The final part of the proj ect is to restore disturbed
landscaped areas caused by construction to their original condition and grade.
The funds for this project are appropriated in the 2008 Open Space Fund Budget.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
To not construct a new pumping system in Anderson Park, therefore relying entirely on potable
water for irrigation and having the effect of increased utility costs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of the contract award is $83,568 plus a contingency of $5,000 for a total of $88,568. This
bid award exceeds the appropriated amount of $85,000. The cost difference, if all of the
contingency is needed, will be taken from the Open Space Fund aI'I'WI',;ated amount for Park
Maintenance projects.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Award lTB-08-22 Anderson Park Irrigation Pump to AJI Irrigation, Inc.,
Denver, CO in the total amount of$83,568 with a contingency of$5,000 for a total project cost of
$88,568.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In late 2007, Wheat Ridge City Council directed staff to research potential regulations regarding the
location of bail bonds businesses within the City. Staff has researched the manner in which other
Colorado jurisdictions regulate such businesses from a legal and zoning perspective. Staff also
researched data regarding criminal activity and police call generation rates associated with these
types of businesses in other Colorado communities. Based on that research and direction from
Council, staff has prepared a draft ordinance that would place specific zoning code limitations on the
location of bail bonds businesses. The draft ordinance identifies zoning districts within which these
businesses would be a permitted use. The ordinance also establishes certain separation requirements
from residentially zoned and/or used properties.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
A recommendation from the Planning Commission is required for all proposed amendments to
Chapter 26 of the Code of Laws. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 1 and
. passed a motion recommending approval of the ordinance, by a vote of 4-1. The Planning
Commission motion included a recommendation that an additional provision be added to the
ordinance requiring that no bail bonds business be located any closer than 600 feet from any school
or public park.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Staff has researched the manner in which other Colorado jurisdictions regulate bail bonds businesses
from both a licensure and a zoning locational perspective. Staff also researched what other
jurisdictions have experienced in regards to the crime rates or police response calls in proximity to
these businesses. Staff did not identifY other Colorado jurisdictions that regulate bail bonds
businesses as a distinct zoning category. In regards to licensing requirements, bail bonds businesses
are required in Colorado to meet state licensure and regulatory requirements. Based on a survey of
Colorado Police Chiefs, there is at least anecdotal evidence that bail bonds businesses generate a
small number of additional police calls, though staff was not able to generate empirical evidence in
support of that proposition, One operational characteristic of bail bonds businesses that was
identified and that may cause some additional impact on adjacent land uses is the fact that these
businesses typically operate at all hours of day and night as needed to meet client needs.
Based on the research results, staff has drafted an ordinance that limits the location where bail bonds
businesses can locate within the City. The ordinance as drafted makes 3 principle changes to
Chapter 26 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, as follow:
1. Defines "bail bonds businesses as a business whose primary purpose is to act as a surety to secure
the presence of an accused person at a court proceeding in a criminal matter."
2. Allows bail bonds businesses as a permitted use in the C-2 and I zoning districts subject to certain
minimum separation requirements. Allows bail bonds businesses as a permitted use in the Planned
Industrial District (PID), if specifically reviewed and approved through City Council's approval of
an Outline Development Plan that specifically authorizes that use.
3. Prohibits bail bonds businesses from locating within 100 feet of a property line common with
property zoned residentially or zoned A-lor A-2, but used residentially.
A map illustrating the locations where bail bonds businesses could be located is attached for
reference. It is important to note that the PID properties depicted in hatched blue would not be
authorized for bail bonds businesses until such time as the property owner requested and City
Council approved an amendment to the applicable Outline Development Plan.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Staff considered two alternative approaches to the regulation of bail bonds businesses: 1) special use
permit; and 2) local licensing.
Special Use Permit (SUP): Typically, special use permits have variable land use impacts that may
either require site specific mitigation or in some instances may not be appropriate in a given
location. In staff's research, we did not identify land use impacts that we thought would have much
variability between different bail business operators. Additionally, the City Attorney's office
believes that the legislative restriction on the location of these businesses is more appropriate than
the quasi-judicial SUP process.
Local Licensing: It would be possible to require local licensure of bail bonds businesses as a way to
regulate and monitor them. Staff feels that would be repetitive of the state licensure requirement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"1 move to approve Council Bill 09-2008. Case #ZOA-08-02, an ordinance concerning the permitted
location of bail bonds businesses and in connection therewith, amending certain sections of Chapter
26 of the Code of Laws, order it published, and set a public hearing for June 9, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. in
City Council Chambers."
If City Council wishes to add the additional restriction recommended by the Planning Commission:
"I further move to amend the ordinance to require that bail bonds businesses not be located any
closer than 600 feet from the property line of any school or public park, with said amendment
reflected in the published ordinance."
or,
"I move to table indefinitely Council Bill 09-2008 for the following reasons:
