He stated this has been a problem for ~5 years and he cannot use the springs in his yard because he gave up clearing them out after every rain etc. He olso stated it would help if a city representative would come out during the problem to check it for himself. Mr. Ed Heidemeit of 4720 Pierce Street stated his property is ~6" lower than the crown of the street and when the water com~ down the drainage system it pushes out of the manholes.

MINUTES - 9/29/75 - Continued -2- Councilman Turner stated there are 3 different alternatives in the Harlan Street Drainage Study and one of the provisions would be for the W. 44 Ave. and Pierce drainage to go on up to W. 48 Ave. and Pierce.

Six months later they found out it was impounded and his son went to the impoun~nt yard at W. 35 Ave and Youngfield and was told the charge was now $300 and later the yard man told him he would let him have it fir $100. He stated he told the police department and they told him all he could do was sue the man that had his car. He stated the police stated they had come to his house, but he didn't think it was their fault they were not at home or that the truck had been ~olen. He also stated that some tools in the truck were missing and the spark plugs removed. He stated that Councilman Donaldson had been helpful to him and that the truck had a valid safety sticker and plates on it. Police Chief Ed Pinson stated he had been made aware of the problem late this afternoon and the vehicle was towed in 3/29/75. There was fresh damage on it giving the possibility of being in an accident other than being left in the ditch by the road. He stated the officer went to the Weiss's house at 3 3D am. and no one answered. On 3/31/75 the state report was filled out and received back 8/22/75 with a wrong I.D number which was corrected and sent back 9/9/75. He stated the tow company is responsible for missing items.

He stated this is required to obtain permission of the City Council by Regulation 18E of the Colorado Liquor Code, but their approval doesn't preclude any requirements of the Building Code and Department. He also stated that I,here are some recent ordinances which would be in effect 10/17/75 which may change some requirements. No one appeared in opposition. Motion by Councilman Turner "I move that the expansion of the Port of Entree be approved by this Council with the assumption that any question as to meeting of the parking requirements would be analyzed by the Building Department prior to issuance of the permit." Motion was seconded by Councilman Donaldson and passed 6-0. The proposed Capital Improvements Budget for 1976 and attached 5 year plan for the City of WheBt Ridge was scheduled for Public Hearing. Councilman Howard pointed out that the budget was based on revenue from Urban Drainage District which was not sure of being funded. Councilman Cavarra stated the sales tax revenue was less for the additional cent than the original one cent. Mr. Andrews stated the revenue does drop off between the 1% and 2% sales tax. Councilman Hulsev requested that the priorities of the Planning Commission be read. The Clerk read the priorities from the 9/18/75 Minutes of the Commission 1. Centralized City Hall - $275,000 including a police evidence building. 2. 3 4 5. 6.

Councilman Howard stated he felt the base map should be under the department's consulting fees and not a capital improvement. Councilman Turner stated there were 2 other alternatives such as doing this in-house or dropping the item. She stated the current map the city has is an adequate base map. Councilman Cavarra stated if this map was to show the ROW, it was her understanding that this was a Public Works project for next year and perhaps there was duplication of effort. She suggested deferring action until there is coordination between the 2 departments. Mavor Roesener stated at the preselit the City did not have a base map. Mrs. Norma Mege5son of 10050 West 29 Avenue stated she was PresideJlt of the PTSA at Wheat Ridge High School and stated she hoped the bikeway under Major Street and traffic improvements would include a bikeway along W. 32 Avenue from Holland to Youngfield and hOiled this would be the first priority. She stated she would also like this listed as a separate item. She presented tickets for the Wheat Ridge homecoming game against Jefferson to the Council. MINUTES - 9/29/75 - Continued -4- Donald Lancaster of 4075 Everett questioned if the only thing considered would be rhe 1976 capital budget and was told "yes." He questioned the ownership of Lena Gulch, and Councilman Turner stafed there is some doubt in some areas but the great majority is private ownership. Mr. Lancaster stated he felt Consolidated ~utual should pay for it if they own it. He urged that there be separated bikeways for W. 32 Avenue. He brought up the idea of a franchise tax for Consolidated for revenue for the Cily. Councilman Hulsev agreed and Councilman Cavarra suggested that the legal department look into this. Motion by Councilman Merkl "I move for the adoption of the Capital Improvements Budget as proposed for 1976." Motion was seconded by Councilman Hulsey. Motion to Amend by Councilman Cavarra "I move that the adoption of the Budget be contigent upon approval of the passage of the one cenl, sales tax." Motion was seconded by Councilman Turner. Discussion followed Councilman Cavarra stated she fEEls the sales Lax is more palatable than property tax increase, but if it does not pass then she fell. the budget would have to be revised and she would not support a iD mill property tax increase. Councilman Donaldson stated he was in favor of a 1~ sales tax, but if it did not pass he was opposed to an increase in the mill levy. Councilman Hulsev stated he was in favor of the 10 mill levy increase if the sales tax was defeated. Councilman Merkl stated he agreed with Mr. Hulsey, and if the sales tax was defeated the only other alternative was to increase the mill levy. Councilman Turner stated she was not in favor of an increase in the mill levy. Citizens who discussed the sales tax versus the mill levy question are as follows Donald Lancaster of 4076 Everett who stated he favored the sales tax, and if it failed the capital budget should be completely revised. Jerrv Fountain of 3230 Flower stated he felt the voters are given a choice of all the improvements or none and that all of the capital improvements are~R~cessary. Bettv Donner IT 3380 Flower favored the sales tax over the mill levy and felt it was more equitable. Ben Chastain of 3250 Marshall stated the city needs the money and he was in favor of the sales tax first, but if it fails then there should be the increased mill levy. I' J~~lice McCuskev of 3495 Newland stated she felt the voter was beiMg,no choice, and if the sales tax is voted down then the whole budget needs to be ~one through again Bob Brown stated that renters indirectly pay property tax the same as property owners. Councilman Hulsev made a Motion to table the budget until after 11/6/75, but after discussion withdrew the Motion.

He stated the contractor wants to replace it with a pipe and he feels the bridge should be replaced. Lvle Bush of the Rocky Mountain Water Company stated a 3'X14' box culvert is what had collapsed and that the installation of a concrete~pe would be satisfactory with his company, and perhaps it should be flared at the endwalls. He stated he did not feel water would back up if it was large enough with a 1~h' waterway opening. Councilman Merkl stated when the culvert was put in at W 32 Ave and Miller, it was his understanding tha the ditch company had had many specifications. Councilman Cavarra stated she is extremely wary of erosion and high waterundermining the street and felt a consulting engineer should study this. Mavor Roesener st.ated while the bridge is out, Public Service Co would also like to come in and replace their lines. In answer to a question, Mr Bush stated that on Miller it is a 72" pipe, and it is 60" pipe at 35th and Jay. Motion by Councilman Merkl "I would move that the City of Wheat Ridge direct Mr Binder to replace the bridge that collapsed (at W. 35 Ave and Jay St ) with a like design bridge. The design and preparation to be done at his cost and subject to the approval of the City of Whear Ridge." Motion was seconded by Councilman Donaldson and passed 6-0. Approval of the repair of Flower Street and a report from Cen+ennial Engineering was scheduled Mr Sparlin of the Centennial Engineers WClJ present He stated the tree removal and rock garden removal would not be replaced or replanted.

He stated the road is on an old clay lake bed and plan to bring in 12" of gravel and then 2" of asphalt He stated they are goi~ to improve the drainage on the west side. He stated they are not changing the drainage and most of the houses there have sumps. Councilman Howard requested that a report be prepared on i-he total ex- penditure on the street to date. Motion by Councilman Cavarra "I hereby move that the City Council approve the major repair and maintenance of Flower Street, between ~. 32nd.an 1 k at, an estimated cost not to exceed $11,000. and ..hat sald the a e, amount be charged to Account 450.43, and that this item be MINUTES - 9/29/75 - Continued -6- an addition to the existing contract with Asphalt Paving." Motion was seconded by Councilman Turner and passed 5-0. The question came up whether or nOr this was legal to amend the contract, and Mr Lund was directed to form a legal opinion who stated an ~ncrease in the bid was allowed in the contract which was up to 25~. ResIdents on the street Jerry Fountain 3230 Flower, Don Donner of 3385 Flower and Paul Cheney 3405 Flower stated they did nol. object to the grade of the street being raised. Motion by Councilman Merkl 12 o'clock midnight and no Donaldson and passed 5-1. "I move the meeting be extended until later." Motion was seconded by Councilman Councilman Howard voted "nay." ~r. Sparlin was also present to discuss the repair at W. 29 Avenue and Gray Street. He stated the recommended sidewalk could be added to the contract with Concrete Contractors and the asphalt portion would be added to the Asphalt Paving contract. Councilman Cavorra asked if these changes came anywhere near the 25% limit allowed in changing the contract. Mr. Sparlin stated he hadn't checked that, but stated even if it does exceed 25%, if the contractor is willing to change it with a change order it would be alright. Councilman Howard asked what the projected cost, of the sidewalk would be. Mr. Sparlin stated the $7,000 figure is an arbitrary breakline, and as they looked at the problem of the sidewalk primorily on the west side progressing down to W. 28 Avenue which was related to this problem it came to $7,000. He stated $7,000 is for Option 1 which is the basic repairs at the intersection which proceeds dOWfl the stree! and catches the major paving items. He stated Option 2 which is $10,000 goes on down the street to W. 28 Ave. and includes repairing sidewalk plus a ~" overlay of the street so there is a complete block fixed up. Councilman Howard questioned the necessity of replacing the sidewalk because if it was done here, the City would be committing themselves to do it allover the City to repair sidewalk and this would set a precedent. Councilman Merkl stated he agrees with Mr. Howard in part if the sidewalk is in bad repair and is not due to a bad street and he feels that would be the responsibility of the homeowner. He stated if a portion of the sidewalk is damaged because of poor drainage or a street problem, it is the City's responsibility. He stated this repair would not set a precedent, and that the City has set the precedent on Wright. He stated it's the City's responsibility if a street is breaking up to fix it and any sidewalk that is destroyed because of the streets. He stated he would fight any effort agatrBt fixing sidewalks because it would set a precedent, because a precedent has already been set. He stated "the precedent has already been set earlier this summer in the west end of this City. Of course, again, it's what's good for the west isn't good for the east, but we won't get into that." Councilman Turner stated no precedent was set by the Council on the west end of Ihe City and Council had been told at a meeting this was an administrative decision and the Councilmen in the west end of town knew nothing about the repair. She stated she was in favor of the $7,000 repair. Mayor Roesener stated the repair on Wright was a danger to life and property. The administrative action was taken because the street could have collapsed, and a portion did collapse and a portion of the sidewalk was sticking up in the air. Councilman Merkl staLed the solution on Gray Street in February when the problem arose, was to put a blinker sign in the middle of a lady's driveway, and this was the Ci tlJ'ssolution for the protection. of health, safety and welfare of the citizens. He stated when walklng down ~he sidewalk you have to go out into the street, and that problems aren't handled the same throughout the City. MINUTES - 9/29/75 - Con~inued -7- Councilman Hul5ev stated he didn' ~ think the situation on Gray Street wasn't any different than the one ~~ Wright Court and he was in favor of the repair. He statedAsfreet is being washed out and the curb and gutter is caving in. He stated maybe the Council shouldn't act on this and it just be an administrative order. He stated "It seems like sometimes that happens and makes it the easiest way out on certain things and then these come into Council. This Gray Street has been nothing but a political football." Councilman Merkl also stated that Council action set a precedent on Villian Street where sidewalk was also replaced, and he stated "But that was on the west end of town." Councilman Cavarra suggested that the 60' be repaired at $7,000, which is the reconstruction of the street for paving, and that on next week's study session that a policy be discussed regarding this including the criteria that if sidewalk is damaged beyond the control of the property owner the city repair it. Otherwise, she feared they "will be hit by everybody in town wanting us to replace their sidewalk." Councilman Merkl acted if the sidewalk is breaking just from use and being an old sidewalk, he doesn't '~hink the City has a responsibility for that section past 60' of sidewalk But that section of sidewalk which the engineers said broke up because of a City street, there, the responsibility lies with this City, and we've accepted that responsibility everywhere else, but we don't accept it down at 29th and Gray. 29th and Gray has been nothing but a political football. We've tried to get that street fixed and we couldn't get it fixed. It just kept getting pigeonholed somewhere. But everything else keeps getting fixed in this City." CIvde Hobbs, Director of Public Works stated the residents on Marshall Street have requested the City to remove their curb and they are replacing it at their own expense. He requested that Council set a policy on this. Mavor Roesener stated they should cover the Gray St. area first. Councilman Howard stated that several months ago the Council authorized the repair of this area for $15,000 and questioned why wasn't that authorization in effect. Motion by Councilman Cavarra "I hereby move that the City Council authorize the repair of Gray Street between 28th and 29th as outlined in the letter of September 10th by Centennial Engineering Option 1. At a cost not to exceed $7,000 plus engineering costs of $1,200 to be charged to the Revenue Sharing Account 731." Point of order was called by Councilman Merkl who stated the Motion was out of order since $15,000 was already approved. After a recess, the Minutes of 6/16/75 were read by the Mayor pertaining to the authoriza- tion of $15,000. The Chair denied the Motion. Councilman Merkl made a Motion and later withdrew it authorizing that Option 1 and 2 be utilized, that all the sidewalk be removed at city expense, but that past the 60' it be replaced at the owner's expense. Mr Sparlin had explained that they felt most of the sidewalk damage ~INUTES - 9/29/75 - Continued -8- was caused by urairlage protJlelllt:i and that they recommend reconstructing the street for 60' and extending the sidewalk reapir 250'. He st.ated the cause from drainage gets less as it goes down the street. He st,ated they proposed the entire street be a }2" overlay. Bonnie Scoma of 2859 Gray stated the street was hollow and it needs to be dug OUr et.c. Motion by Councilman Merkl be charged +0 Revenue Sharing by Councilman Donaldson. "I move the repairs to Gray Street Account 731." Motion was seconded Discu5sion followed. Councilman Turner asked what the reasoning was for repairing the sidewalk past the street repair, and Mr. Sparlin stated the sidewalk on down the street is undermined bV water and will make hollow spots. Councilman Donaldson stated this problem was unique in that area and must be fixed.

Mr. Lund stated in the plans there is an operaling room already in the plans but that the specific mechanics will be left up to the commission when it is formed.
