Elected Officials’ Report(s) Item No. 1 Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Patrick Goff, City Manager DATE: July 27, 2026 SUBJECT: Round Two 2026 Polling Results ISSUE: Magellan Strategies conducted a second statistically valid community survey between July 13th and July 21st to better understand resident priorities related to long-term capital infrastructure needs and potential ballot measures. The survey included 672 Wheat Ridge residents, providing a margin of error of approximately ±3.73%. Representatives from Magellan Strategies will present the results of the survey at the July 27th study session. BACKGROUND: Over the past several years, the City has engaged the community, adopted numerous plans, and identified significant needs across infrastructure, facilities, and public spaces. However, current funding levels are not sufficient to deliver on these priorities at the scale and at the desired pace. Mayor and Council held a planning workshop on April 11th to bring City Council into alignment on a clear and financially realistic path forward for Wheat Ridge’s most critical capital investments. The discussion at the workshop connected those community-driven priorities with the City’s fiscal realities, with the goal of establishing a focused set of projects, evaluating viable funding strategies, and providing direction to develop a cohesive, transparent 10-year capital improvement plan. The purpose of the polling effort was to evaluate voter attitudes regarding the City’s current and future capital needs, identify which projects residents view as the highest priorities, assess overall trust in the City’s stewardship of public resources, and measure potential support for various revenue options and ballot measure structures. Respondents were presented with potential ballot language for a 1% sales and use tax increase, estimated to generate up to $11 million annually in the first full fiscal year, without increasing property tax. The potential measure would dedicate proceeds to: • Proactive street and infrastructure maintenance; • Bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements; 2026 Polling Results July 27, 2026 Page 2 • Preservation of community spaces at Wilmore-Davis and Kullerstrand elementary schools; • Replacement of the Anderson Park Outdoor Pool; and • New police and city services facilities. Key Findings Overall Ballot Support • Initial support for the proposed 1% dedicated sales and use tax was 64%, with 30% opposed and 6% undecided. • After voters received additional information about the City’s capital needs and proposed investments, support increased to 71%, with 23% opposed and 6% undecided. • “Definitely yes” support increased from 28% initially to 36% after information. Geographic and Voter-Group Support • In the informed ballot test, support ranged from 60% to 79% across all four Council districts. • Informed support was 88% among Democrats, 62% among unaffiliated voters, and 56% among Republicans. • Support was lower among longer-term residents and Republican voters, but each group still showed majority support after receiving information. Most Compelling Investment Priorities The following messages produced the strongest increase in support: • Establishing a dedicated long-term source for streets, sidewalks, public buildings, and other infrastructure: 74% more likely to support. • Closing sidewalk gaps and improving ADA, pedestrian, and bicycle connections: 74% more likely. • Protecting property values and Wheat Ridge’s long-term quality of life: 73% more likely. • Preserving Wilmore-Davis and Kullerstrand parks and athletic fields for public use: 72% more likely. • Avoiding higher future repair costs by addressing aging infrastructure proactively: 68% more likely. • Preventing private redevelopment of community spaces at the Lutheran Legacy Campus and former school properties: 68% more likely. • Replacing Anderson Pool to avoid permanent closure: 67% more likely. Reasons for Support Supporters most often cited: • The need to maintain streets, sidewalks, bike facilities, and other core infrastructure. • Safer and more accessible pedestrian connections. 2026 Polling Results July 27, 2026 Page 2 • Preservation of parks, open space, pools, and community gathering places. • Protecting Wheat Ridge’s character, property values, and quality of life. • A preference for sales tax over property tax because visitors and nonresidents contribute to the investments. Reasons for Opposition Opponents most often cited: • Cost-of-living pressures and opposition to any additional tax. • Concerns about City financial management, spending priorities, and accountability. • A preference to use existing revenue, grants, or other funding sources. • Concern about bundling several projects in a single ballot measure, particularly City Hall and police facilities with infrastructure and community-space investments. Alternative Ballot Tests • Reducing the proposed increase to one-half cent did not substantially change opposition. Among voters who opposed the 1% measure, only 10% said they would support a half-cent version. • Narrower project packages received less support than the full informed proposal: o Infrastructure, bicycle/pedestrian improvements, and police/City services facilities: 66% support. o Police/City services facilities, Anderson Pool, and school-community- space preservation: 60% support. Communication Implications • Emphasize proactive maintenance, safety, accessibility, preservation of public spaces, and the cost of deferring investment. • Explain that dedicated sales-tax revenue would be restricted to voter-approved capital purposes. • Directly address affordability, fiscal oversight, project prioritization, and the rationale for including multiple community investments in one measure. City Council Discussion and Next Steps • Does Council wish to continue pursuing a November 2026 ballot measure. • Does Council wish to place a 1% sales and use tax increase before voters in November 2026? • Should the ballot measure include the full set of investments tested in the survey: o Proactive street and infrastructure maintenance; o Bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements; o Preservation of community spaces at Wilmore-Davis and Kullerstrand elementary schools; o Replacement of Anderson Park Outdoor Pool; and o New police and City services facilities? 2026 Polling Results July 27, 2026 Page 2 • If Council elects to proceed, direct staff to coordinate with legal counsel on ballot-title requirements, TABOR compliance, election deadlines, and required Council actions. • If Council elects to proceed, authorize staff to return with final ballot language and the required ordinance for Council consideration on August 10th for first reading and August 24th for public hearing.

After reading the information, please indicate if you are more likely to vote yes and approve the ballot measure or if you are more likely to vote no and reject it. Let’s get started: T3. Wheat Ridge's City Hall and Police headquarters are more than 50 years old and independent engineering assessments found the buildings are in poor to fair condition with outdated mechanical systems, expensive maintenance needs, and inadequate space for today's public safety and city service operations.

The proposed City Services and Public Safety Campus [image of proposed design below] would include a modern Police headquarters, City Hall, community meeting space, public gathering areas, and preservation of important historic buildings and open space on the Lutheran Legacy Campus.

If the City does not purchase portions of the Lutheran Legacy Campus and former elementary school properties when they become available, those properties are likely to be sold for private development, eliminating the opportunity to preserve them for future public use.

Wheat Ridge does not currently have a dedicated long-term funding source for maintaining streets, sidewalks, public buildings, and other major infrastructure. Dedicated sales tax revenue would provide stable funding to repair and replace aging public assets before they become more expensive to fix.

Many sidewalks in Wheat Ridge are incomplete, disconnected, or do not meet ADA standards, making it more difficult for residents to safely walk or bike throughout the community. Dedicated funding would allow the City to close sidewalk gaps, improve accessibility, and build safer connections. Knowing this, are you: Total More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve ................................................... 74% Total More Likely to Vote No, Reject ........................................................ 16% Makes No Difference in My Opinion ......................................................... 10% Much More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve .................................................. 49% Somewhat More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve .......................................... 25% Much More Likely to Vote No, Reject ......................................................... 9% Somewhat More Likely to Vote No, Reject ................................................. 7% T9. The City's Parks and Public Works maintenance facilities are aging, inefficient, and no longer meet operational needs. A consolidated maintenance facility would improve efficiency, reduce long-term operating costs, and better support maintenance of parks, streets, and other public infrastructure. Knowing this, are you: Total More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve ................................................... 69% Total More Likely to Vote No, Reject ........................................................ 18% Makes No Difference in My Opinion ......................................................... 13% Much More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve .................................................. 38% Somewhat More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve .......................................... 31% Much More Likely to Vote No, Reject ......................................................... 9% Somewhat More Likely to Vote No, Reject ................................................. 9% T10. Jeffco Public Schools closed Kullerstrand and Wilmore-Davis elementary schools in Wheat Ridge in 2022. Dedicated revenue from a 1% sales tax increase could be used to purchase the parks and athletic fields associated with the schools for continued public use, keeping those recreational amenities available to the community instead of being redeveloped.

Anderson Pool is nearing the end of its useful life and needs significant investment within the next two to four years or will need to be closed permanently. Dedicated revenue from a 1% sales tax increase could allow the City to prevent the permanent closure of the pool. Knowing this, are you: Total More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve ................................................... 67% Total More Likely to Vote No, Reject ........................................................ 15% Makes No Difference in My Opinion ......................................................... 18% Much More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve .................................................. 43% Somewhat More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve .......................................... 24% Much More Likely to Vote No, Reject ....................................................... 10% Somewhat More Likely to Vote No, Reject ................................................. 5% T12. Because the measure is funded through sales tax, visitors who shop, dine, or spend money in Wheat Ridge would also contribute toward these community investments. Knowing this, are you: Total More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve ................................................... 66% Total More Likely to Vote No, Reject ........................................................ 15% Makes No Difference in My Opinion ......................................................... 19% Much More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve .................................................. 43% Somewhat More Likely to Vote Yes, Approve .......................................... 23% Much More Likely to Vote No, Reject ......................................................... 9% Somewhat More Likely to Vote No, Reject ................................................. 6% T13. Because City Hall no longer has enough usable office space, the City already leases additional office space in multiple locations at taxpayer expense. Replacing outdated facilities would allow more city services to be consolidated in one location while reducing long-term operating inefficiencies.

Thank you for learning about why the City of Wheat Ridge is considering a potential 1% sales tax increase on the November ballot. We will now ask you again to please read the potential ballot language and indicate if you would vote yes and approve it or vote no and reject it. The potential ballot measure reads as follows: SHALL THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE TAXES BE INCREASED BY UP TO $11,000,000 ANNUALLY IN THE FIRST FULL FISCAL YEAR, AND BY WHATEVER ADDITIONAL AMOUNT IS RECEIVED THEREAFTER, WITHOUT INCREASING PROPERTY TAX, BY INCREASING THE RATE OF SALES AND USE TAX BY 1 CENT PER DOLLAR, WITH THE PROCEEDS TO BE USED ONLY FOR THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS: • PROACTIVE STREET AND INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE • BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS • PRESERVATION OF COMMUNITY SPACES AT WILMORE DAVIS AND KULLERSTRAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS • REPLACEMENT OF ANDERSON PARK OUTDOOR POOL • NEW POLICE AND CITY SERVICES FACILITIES Total Vote Yes, Approve ............................................................................ 71% Total Vote No, Reject ................................................................................. 23% Undecided .................................................................................................... 6% Magellan ID#: COWHEATRIDGE-071326 City of Wheat Ridge 2026 Sales Tax Ballot Measure Survey 7 Field Dates: 07/13/26-07/21/26, 672n, +/- 3.73% MoE Magellan Strategies 4800 Aspen Creek Dr. | Broomfield, CO 80023 www.MagellanStrategies.com | (303) 861-8585 Definitely Vote Yes, Approve ..................................................................... 36% Probably Vote Yes, Approve ..................................................................... 35% Definitely Vote No, Reject .......................................................................... 10% Probably Vote No, Reject .......................................................................... 13% T17. Please describe the reasons why you would vote yes and approve the ballot measure. Investment in infrastructure: sidewalks, roads, bike lanes, and maintenance: The dominant theme was support for improving and maintaining core infrastructure. Respondents repeatedly mentioned continuous and safer sidewalks, road maintenance and repairs, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, ADA accessibility and proactive maintenance to avoid more expensive repairs later. Many viewed these investments as essential for safety, mobility, and the city's long-term health. Protecting and expand parks, pools, open space, and community gathering places: A large share of respondents emphasized preserving public spaces over private development. Many expressed concern that these sites could otherwise become housing or commercial developments. Improving Wheat Ridge's quality of life and invest in the city's future: Many respondents framed the measure as an investment in Wheat Ridge's long-term success. Common reasons included maintaining or increasing property values, making Wheat Ridge a more attractive place to live, supporting future generations, attracting businesses and families, and creating a safer, more vibrant, and more walkable community. Several noted that investing now is less costly than waiting until facilities deteriorate further. Support for a sales tax rather than a property tax: Many respondents specifically said they preferred a sales tax because visitors help pay for improvements and avoids increasing homeowners' property taxes. Numerous respondents—particularly seniors and those on fixed incomes—said this funding mechanism made them much more likely to support the measure. T18. Please describe the reasons why you would vote no and reject the ballot measure, and if there are changes that would cause you to change your vote. Cost of living and opposition to any tax increase: The overwhelming top theme among “No” voters was that residents feel they simply cannot afford another tax increase given today's economic conditions. Rising property taxes, groceries, utilities, insurance, and inflation were cited repeatedly. Many respondents said they were already struggling financially, and even respondents who supported some projects often said the timing is wrong because of the economy. City’s financial management and spending priorities: A number of respondents said they do not trust the City to spend additional money wisely. These respondents mentioned that the City should live within its current budget and that existing tax revenues should be sufficient, and they perceived wasteful spending on past projects.

Among these respondents there is a desire to vote on projects separately, and a belief that government buildings are lower priorities than infrastructure. Desire for better budgeting, prioritization, and alternative funding: Some argued that the City should find another way to pay rather than increasing the sales tax. Common suggestions included reallocating existing funds, cutting government spending, pursuing grants or other financing, or attracting more retail, tourism, and economic development before raising taxes. T19. If the ballot measure had the same language and investments, but asked for a half-cent per dollar sales tax increase instead of one cent per dollar, how would you vote?

We just have one final question about potential combinations of projects in the ballot language, followed by demographic questions for statistical purposes only. T20. Another possibility is for the City to include only some of the projects to receive dedicated funding from the sales tax increase, rather than all of the projects at once. How would you vote on a 1% sales tax increase to generate approximately $11 million annually if the following combinations of projects were included: A. Proactive street and infrastructure maintenance, bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements, and new police and city services facilities.

The interviews were conducted from July 13th – 21st, 2026. This survey has a margin of error of +/- 3.73% at the 95 percent confidence interval. The survey data were weighted to represent the demographics of midterm election turnout within the city. City of Wheat Ridge 2026 Sales Tax Ballot Measure Survey, July 2026, 672n, +/-3.73% MoE Key Takeaways & Opportunities 4City of Wheat Ridge 2026 Sales Tax Ballot Measure Survey, July 2026, 672n, +/-3.73% MoE The ballot measure begins in a strong position and gains additional support after voters receive more information: Initial support is 64% Yes / 30% No. After voters hear arguments explaining the projects and funding rationale, support increases to 71% Yes / 23% No. This suggests that a further informational campaign would continue to strengthen support for the measure. Street, sidewalk, and infrastructure investments are the strongest drivers of support: The most persuasive messages focus on maintaining core infrastructure before repairs become more expensive. Respondents view basic infrastructure maintenance as the measure's strongest justification. Key Takeaways & Opportunities 5City of Wheat Ridge 2026 Sales Tax Ballot Measure Survey, July 2026, 672n, +/-3.73% MoE Preserving community spaces and parks also resonates: Respondents react very positively to protecting public spaces. Open-ended responses reinforce that many voters see these investments as preserving Wheat Ridge's character and preventing additional private development. Support is driven by the belief that a sales tax spreads the cost broadly, while opposition centers on affordability and trust in government spending: Among supporters, the leading reasons include investing in streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure, preserving parks and community spaces, improving quality of life and protecting property values, and a preference for a sales tax instead of a property tax, since visitors also contribute. Among opponents, the dominant concerns are cost of living and opposition to additional taxes, distrust of the City's financial management, or objections to bundling multiple projects— particularly including new City Hall and police facilities in the same measure as the other investments. 6 Following is the ballot language for a potential 1% sales tax increase to fund capital improvements that may be placed on the November ballot.

Dedicated funding would allow the City to close sidewalk gaps, improve accessibility, and build safer connections. Wheat Ridge does not currently have a dedicated long- term funding source for maintaining streets, sidewalks, public buildings, and other major infrastructure. Dedicated sales tax revenue would provide stable funding to repair and replace aging public assets before they become more expensive to fix.

Jeffco Public Schools closed Kullerstrand and Wilmore- Davis elementary schools in Wheat Ridge in 2022. Dedicated revenue from a 1% sales tax increase could be used to purchase the parks and athletic fields associated with the schools for continued public use, keeping those recreational amenities available to the community instead of being redeveloped.

A consolidated maintenance facility would improve efficiency, reduce long-term operating costs, and better support maintenance of parks, streets, and other public infrastructure. If the City does not purchase portions of the Lutheran Legacy Campus and former elementary school properties when they become available, those properties are likely to be sold for private development, eliminating the opportunity to preserve them for future public use.

Anderson Pool is nearing the end of its useful life and needs significant investment within the next two to four years or will need to be closed permanently. Dedicated revenue from a 1% sales tax increase could allow the City to prevent the permanent closure of the pool.

Because City Hall no longer has enough usable office space, the City already leases additional office space in multiple locations at taxpayer expense. Replacing outdated facilities would allow more city services to be consolidated in one location while reducing long- term operating inefficiencies.

Modern police facilities improve evidence storage, training space, emergency operations, and coordination with partner agencies, helping officers better serve the community. City of Wheat Ridge 2026 Sales Tax Ballot Measure Survey, July 2026, 672n, +/-3.73% MoE 16 Thank you for learning about why the City of Wheat Ridge is considering a potential 1% sales tax increase on the November ballot. We will now ask you again to please read the potential ballot language and indicate if you would vote yes and approve it or vote no and reject it. The potential ballot measure reads as follows: SHALL THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE TAXES BE INCREASED BY UP TO $11,000,000 ANNUALLY IN THE FIRST FULL FISCAL YEAR, AND BY WHATEVER ADDITIONAL AMOUNT IS RECEIVED THEREAFTER, WITHOUT INCREASING PROPERTY TAX, BY INCREASING THE RATE OF SALES AND USE TAX BY 1 CENT PER DOLLAR, WITH THE PROCEEDS TO BE USED ONLY FOR THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS: •PROACTIVE STREET AND INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE •BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS •PRESERVATION OF COMMUNITY SPACES AT WILMORE DAVIS AND KULLERSTRAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS •REPLACEMENT OF ANDERSON PARK OUTDOOR POOL •NEW POLICE AND CITY SERVICES FACILITIES City of Wheat Ridge 2026 Sales Tax Ballot Measure Survey, July 2026, 672n, +/-3.73% MoE Wheat Ridge Informed 1% Sales Tax Ballot Test 71%23% 6% Yes No No Opinion Wheat Ridge Informed 1% Sales Tax We will now ask you again to please read the potential ballot language and indicate if you would vote yes and approve it or vote no and reject it. 17 Definitely Yes 36% Probably Yes 35% Definitely Not 10% Probably Not 13% 68% 60% 79% 79% 63% 76% 56% 88% 62% 73% 60% 76% 73% 68% 21% 32% 20% 17% 33% 17% 44% 9% 28% 23% 35% 16% 18% 29% 11% 8% 7% 10% 5% 8% 9% District 4 District 3 District 2 District 1 More 15 Years Less 15 Years Republican Democratic Unaffiliated 65+ 45-64 18-44 Women Men Yes No No Opinion City of Wheat Ridge 2026 Sales Tax Ballot Measure Survey, July 2026, 672n, +/-3.73% MoE 18 Please describe the reasons why you would vote yes and approve the ballot measure. Investment in infrastructure: sidewalks, roads, bike lanes, and maintenance: The dominant theme was support for improving and maintaining core infrastructure. Respondents repeatedly mentioned continuous and safer sidewalks, road maintenance and repairs, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, ADA accessibility and proactive maintenance to avoid more expensive repairs later. Many viewed these investments as essential for safety, mobility, and the city's long-term health. Protecting and expand parks, pools, open space, and community gathering places: A large share of respondents emphasized preserving public spaces over private development. Many expressed concern that these sites could otherwise become housing or commercial developments. Improving Wheat Ridge's quality of life and invest in the city's future: Many respondents framed the measure as an investment in Wheat Ridge's long-term success. Common reasons included maintaining or increasing property values, making Wheat Ridge a more attractive place to live, supporting future generations, attracting businesses and families, and creating a safer, more vibrant, and more walkable community. Several noted that investing now is less costly than waiting until facilities deteriorate further. Support for a sales tax rather than a property tax: Many respondents specifically said they preferred a sales tax because visitors help pay for improvements and avoids increasing homeowners' property taxes. Numerous respondents—particularly seniors and those on fixed incomes—said this funding mechanism made them much more likely to support the measure. City of Wheat Ridge 2026 Sales Tax Ballot Measure Survey, July 2026, 672n, +/-3.73% MoE 19 Please describe the reasons why you would vote no and reject the ballot measure, and if there are changes that would cause you to change your vote. Cost of living and opposition to any tax increase: The overwhelming top theme among “No” voters was that residents feel they simply cannot afford another tax increase given today’s economic conditions. Rising property taxes, groceries, utilities, insurance, and inflation were cited repeatedly. Many respondents said they were already struggling financially, and even respondents who supported some projects often said the timing is wrong because of the economy. City’s financial management and spending priorities: A number of respondents said they do not trust the City to spend additional money wisely. These respondents mentioned that the City should live within its current budget and that existing tax revenues should be sufficient, and they perceived wasteful spending on past projects. Opposition to bundling projects—especially City Hall and police facilities: Many respondents objected to combining multiple projects into one ballot measure. Among these respondents there is a desire to vote on projects separately, and a belief that government buildings are lower priorities than infrastructure. Desire for better budgeting, prioritization, and alternative funding: Some argued that the City should find another way to pay rather than increasing the sales tax. Common suggestions included reallocating existing funds, cutting government spending, pursuing grants or other financing, or attracting more retail, tourism, and economic development before raising taxes.

How would you vote on a 1% sales tax increase to generate approximately $11 million annually if the following combinations of projects were included: A.

Staff is seeking Council consensus to continue negotiations with Jefferson County Public Schools (Jeffco Schools) and Spectra Centers based on the attached draft agreements and to proceed through the Municipal Interest Process established by Jeffco Schools. Evaluation of the Kullerstrand responses remains underway and will be presented to Council at a future meeting. PRIOR ACTION: City Council has received multiple briefings and updates related to school closures and future reuse over the last several years, including: •October 2022: Initial briefing from staff on potential school closures •November 2022: More detailed briefing prior to school closures •November 2023: School district update on closed school properties •April 2024: School district update, including disposition planning •February 2026: Staff proposal to advance an RFI •June 2026: Staff presentation of Wilmore Davis RFI responses Most recently, on June 22, 2026, Council reviewed responses to the City’s Request for Interest (RFI) and expressed consensus supporting Spectra Centers as the City’s preferred partner for the reuse of the Wilmore Davis property. At that meeting, Council also supported staff proceeding with execution of a non-binding Letter of Intent with Spectra Centers; preparation of the City’s proposal to Jeffco Schools through its July 27, 2026 Page 2 Municipal Interest Process; and drafting the agreements necessary to facilitate acquisition and redevelopment of the property. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed transaction would allow the City to acquire the entire Wilmore Davis property (approximately 7 acres) from Jefferson County Public Schools for $2,840,000 and subsequently convey approximately 4.5 acres, including the existing school building, to Spectra Centers for $2,750,000. The City would retain the remaining approximately 2.5 acres for permanent park and recreation use. Based on these purchase prices, the City’s estimated cost to acquire and retain the future park property is approximately $90,000, before closing costs. Under the executed Letter of Intent with Spectra Centers, the City is responsible for a 3% brokerage commission on Spectra’s purchase (approximately $82,500). Including this commission, the City’s anticipated net acquisition cost is approximately $172,500, plus customary closing costs. Under the draft PSAs, the City is responsible for the survey and plat required to subdivide the property, the owner’s title policy associated with the Spectra transaction, and other customary closing expenses. These costs will be refined as due diligence and title work are completed. The proposed acquisition is well within the $2.0 million budgeted in the 2026 Open Space Fund for acquisition and/or development of parkland at both Wilmore Davis and Kullerstrand, leaving funding available for the Kullerstrand acquisition and future park improvements at Wilmore Davis. Staff also continues to evaluate whether the park acquisition is eligible for funding through Jefferson County Open Space’s Land Conservation Partnership Program, which could further reduce the City’s net cost. BACKGROUND: District School Closures, City Planning, and RFI Following closure of Wilmore Davis Elementary School in 2023, City Council requested that Jeffco Schools delay disposition of the property until completion of the City's comprehensive planning efforts. Jeffco honored that request, allowing the City to complete and adopt both the City Plan and Parks and Recreation Pathway in fall 2025. Together, these plans establish a long-term vision for preserving a portion of the property as permanent parkland while encouraging thoughtful reuse of the existing school building that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. In early 2026, City Council supported staff’s recommendation to pursue a public-private July 27, 2026 Page 3 partnership through a Request for Interest (RFI). Following evaluation of nine responses, staff recommended Spectra Centers as the City’s preferred development partner because the proposal: • fully accommodates the City’s desired park configuration; • reuses the existing school building; • provides an important community-serving educational use; • does not require a zoning change; • minimizes redevelopment impacts to the surrounding neighborhood; and • supports an efficient Municipal Interest Process with Jeffco Schools. Council expressed consensus with that recommendation on June 22, 2026. Since that time, staff has worked collaboratively with Jeffco Schools, Spectra Centers, and the City Attorney to prepare the agreements necessary to implement the proposed transaction. Proposed Transaction The proposed approach is structured as two consecutive real estate transactions. First, the City would acquire the entire Wilmore Davis property from Jeffco Schools through the District's Municipal Interest Process. Immediately following that acquisition, the City would retain approximately 2.5 acres on the north portion of the property for a future neighborhood park and would convey the remaining approximately 4.5-acre parcel, including the existing school building, to Spectra Centers. This structure allows the City to permanently preserve parkland while facilitating long- term reuse of the school building by a compatible community-serving educational organization. The proposed sequence is illustrated below. The draft agreements have been exchanged with both Jeffco Schools and Spectra Centers for review and remain subject to continued negotiation. The versions attached to this memo are intended to illustrate the proposed transaction framework and major business terms. Draft PSA – Jeffco Schools & City The first agreement establishes the terms under which the City would acquire the Wilmore Davis property from Jeffco Schools. Major provisions include: Jeffco Schools approves sale City acquires entire property City retains north (Lot 2) and conveys south (Lot 1) Spectra Centers acquires Lot 1 July 27, 2026 Page 4 • Purchase of the entire school property by the City; • Due diligence period for title review, survey, environmental review, and inspections; • Subdivision of the property into separate school (Lot 1) and park (Lot 2) parcels; • Customary closing conditions; and • Closing following approval by both the Jeffco Board of Education and Wheat Ridge City Council. The agreement reflects the framework previously discussed with Council and remains subject to continued negotiation. Draft PSA – City & Spectra Centers The second agreement establishes the terms under which the City would convey the school parcel to Spectra Centers following acquisition from Jeffco Schools. Major provisions include: • Purchase of the school parcel and existing building by Spectra Centers; • Earnest money deposit; • Due diligence, financing, and licensing contingencies for Spectra; • Closing immediately following the City's acquisition of the property; • Execution of a Development Agreement prior to closing; and • Execution of a Right of First Refusal in favor of the City prior to closing. Like the City’s agreement with Jeffco Schools, this agreement remains in draft form and will continue to be refined. Future Agreements The attached Purchase and Sale Agreements establish the framework for acquisition and conveyance of the property but intentionally defer certain operational matters to a separate agreement. Prior to closing, a development agreement will be negotiated that governs the long-term relationship between the two properties, including: • shared parking between the future park and Spectra campus; • reciprocal pedestrian and vehicle access; • utility easements; • fencing; • maintenance responsibilities; • park construction coordination; Separately, a recorded Right of First Refusal is proposed to provide the City an opportunity to reacquire the Spectra property should it ever be offered for sale in the future. These agreements will ensure the long-term compatibility of the public park and the Spectra campus while protecting the City’s public investment. July 27, 2026 Page 5 Next Steps If Council supports the proposed transaction framework, staff will continue negotiations with Jeffco Schools and Spectra Centers to finalize the PSAs. Staff anticipate returning to City Council with the final Purchase and Sale Agreements next month. Council approval will also be required to authorize acquisition of the Wilmore Davis property from Jeffco Schools, conveyance of the school parcel to Spectra Centers, and execution of any related agreements necessary to complete the transaction. Should Jeffco Schools approve the City’s proposal, a neighborhood information meeting will be scheduled for this summer in partnership with Spectra Centers. Although not required by any land use approval process, staff believe this will provide an important opportunity to share the proposed partnership, answer questions, and gather community feedback before the transaction is completed. Following acquisition of the park parcel, the Parks and Recreation Department would conduct a separate public engagement process to determine the final design and programming of the future neighborhood park. Staff will also return to City Council to separately review the Kullerstrand RFI proposals. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommend the proposed transaction framework and seek Council consensus to: 1) Continue negotiations with Jeffco Schools and Spectra Centers, 2) Finalize the Purchase and Sale Agreements, and 3) Return with the final agreements and ordinances necessary to authorize acquisition of the Wilmore Davis property and subsequent conveyance of the Spectra parcel.

Seller is the contract purchaser of the real property generally located at 7975 W 41st Ave in the City of Wheat Ridge, which contains approximately 7 acres of land, County Assessor AIN/Parcel ID 39-233-00-010, and depicted in Exhibit A attached hereto and fully incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property"). B. Spectra Centers, the Buyer, is a Colorado based organization founded in 2003 which operates an approved Facility School through the Colorado Department of Education and also holds a Day Treatment License. C. The Property consists of the Wilmore Davis Elementary School (the “School”) building and associated improvements, built in 1955. D. As a part of a district-wide reassessment of its enrollment patterns and associated facility needs, the Jefferson County School District R-1 (the “District”) determined in November 2022 that the School is no longer needed in this location. The District has since declared the Property as surplus and expressed a willingness to dispose of the same for an appropriate use. E. The District has established a municipal interest process to provide municipalities the opportunity to purchase a vacant school site prior to public marketing, thereby supporting potential partnerships that enable thoughtful and creative reuse of former school properties, including the subject Property. F. In accordance with the municipal interest disposition process, the District and the Seller have entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement whereby the Seller is the contract purchaser of the Property, and whereby the Buyer is a third-party beneficiary of certain specific sections therein to facilitate the Buyer’s review and evaluation of the School building and a portion of the Property in accordance with its desire to acquire the same. G. The Seller and the Buyer understand and agree that the Seller’s Purchase and Sale Agreement with the District is being entered into simultaneously with this Agreement and that the transactions are intended to take place consecutively; the Buyer’s purchase under this Agreement being conditioned upon the prior purchase by the Seller of the Property from the District. H. The Seller intends, with the District’s approval, to replat the Property into two parcels: one containing the School building and a portion of the adjacent land (“Lot 1”), and the -2- other containing the remaining portion of the Property, consisting of open space and athletics fields (“Lot 2”). I. The Seller will convey Lot 1 to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. J. The Seller will retain Lot 2, the open space and athletics fields portion of the Property, and will develop and maintain the same as a public park. K. Buyer is offering to purchase Lot 1 from the Seller upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. AGREEMENT In consideration of the promises and agreements of the Parties contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each of the Parties, Seller and Buyer do hereby promise and agree as follows: 1. Sale and Purchase. The Seller shall sell Lot 1 to the Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase Lot 1 from Seller, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 2. Purchase Price.

Earnest Money Deposit. Within twenty (20) days after execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall deliver the Earnest Money Deposit in the amount of $30,000 to the title company (the “Title Company”) who will serve as both the escrow agent and the title company for the acquisition.
