A
I
think
we're
all
all
here
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
city
of
Englewood
study
session.
This
is
Monday
August,
6
2018,
and
we
have
a
full
council
tonight
and
our
first
item
up
on
the
agenda
is
eight
two
other
agencies,
discussion
and
our
city
manager.
Eric
is
here
to
lead
us
through
this
Thank.
B
You
mayor
members
of
council,
this
particular
item
has
come
up
actually
the
past
couple
of
years.
Actually
three
that
since
I
can
recall
we're
in
Council
has
basically
asked
themselves
the
question
whether
or
not
to
continue
with
providing
funding
for
not-for-profits
and
groups
that
provide
services
to
our
citizens,
and
so,
in
anticipation
of
that
again
happening.
B
The
mayor
and
the
mayor
pro-tem
asked
that
we
bring
this
forward
this
evening
for
a
council
discussion
and
just
as
a
refresher
the
past
three
years,
the
City
Council's
budget
has
been
$20,000
for
being
able
to
be
dispersed
to
not-for-profits.
The
process
is
as
follows:
typically,
in
the
month
of
October
at
the
beginning
of
October,
the
application
process
is
open
for
not-for-profits
and
entities
that
wish
to
submit
an
application
for
grant
funding.
B
Do
so
and
then,
typically
in
November,
depending
upon
how
it
falls
late,
November,
early
December
timeframe,
council
has
a
study
session
and
sits
down
and
evaluates
each
of
the
proposals.
That's
been
submitted
and
determines
how
much
funding
to
provide
the
entities.
So,
for
example,
last
year
you
had
50
$2,500
I
believe
was
the
50
$2,200
was
the
request
from
essentially
15
disparate
not-for-profits
that
serve
our
citizenry
and
council,
ultimately
decided
to
disperse
the
$20,000
of
funding
to
the
to
select
group
of
those
entities.
B
Same
thing
happened
in
2017
and
16,
and
so
the
question
is
has
been
raised
as
to
whether
or
not
this
program
truly
is
meaningful
enough
to
those
entities
that
request
and
is
asked
for
this
assistance,
and
so
this
evening
the
purpose
of
this
particular
study
session.
The
topic
is
to
allow
for
the
council
to
again
examine
whether
or
not
they
wish
to
continue.
I
will
say
this
I
have
programmed
this
twenty
thousand
dollars
into
the
City
Council's
budget
again
for
fiscal
year.
B
Nineteen,
that's
part
of
what's
in
the
budget
proposal,
that's
before
that
will
be
before
the
council
for
this
next
year.
But
again,
this
is
kind
of
a
timely
topic
in
that,
as
we're
trying
to
complete
this,
you
have
that
opportunity
to
determine
whether
or
not
to
continue
with
this.
With
this
level
of
funding.
Thank.
A
C
B
You
know
one
a
single
parent
or
no
parents
and
kids
who
are
leading
their
home
working
as
well
as
going
to
school,
and
they
have
a
program
where
teachers
nominate
them
for
awards
and
so
the
last
couple
years
the
city
has
designated
about
two
hundred
dollars
of
funding
each
of
those
years.
Another
example
is
the
Arapaho
Philharmonic.
B
It
is
obviously
exactly
what
it
sounds
like
it's
a
it's
a
Philharmonic
Symphony
that
has
requested
funds
and
they
do
concerts
into
schools
and
help
youth
with
learning
about
music
and
and
getting
involved
and
interested
in
pursuing
music
as
a
as
a
hobby.
If
not
for
some
a
career.
The
last
few
years
a
council
has
given
$100
to
that.
B
Another
entity
that
has
received
significant
funding
from
the
city
of
Englewood
has
been
brothers
redevelopment
and
that
particular
entity
is
a
not-for-profit
that
helps
homeowners,
owner-occupied
homes
that
have
issues
with
keeping
their
homes
warm,
safe
and
dry,
and
so
this
company
goes
in
and
the
grant
an
aid
to
the
to
that
entity
has
been
around
$2,000
for
the
last
couple
of
years
and
that
group
goes
in
and
for
eligibly
in
income
qualified
homes.
They
work
through
the
city
as
well
to
go
in
and
provide
insulation
new
windows.
B
B
The
city
has
also
given
money
to
the
Englewood
Veterans
Memorial
Day
request
and
Nath
has
been
a
recipient.
The
last
couple
years
at
around
the
$500
level,
the
Historic
Preservation
Society,
has
also
been
a
recipient
of
funding
from
the
city
and
then,
of
course,
some
of
the
the
biggest
recipients
have
been
the
family
tree
house
of
Hope,
which
is
a
shelter
for
women
and
children,
as
well
as
the
integrated
family
community
services.
I
f,
CS
they've
been
huge
recipients
as
well
at
around
$4,000,
both
the
House
of
Hope,
and
then
they
in
ICF
s.
B
Ifcs
excuse
me
about
4,000
and
then
TLC
Meals
on
Wheels
and
that
particular
program
is
very.
Has
a
lot
of
clients
here
in
Englewood
I
know
that
several
of
the
council
members
have
gone
out
and
helped
it
deliver
as
well
as
I
have,
and
it's
it's
a
it's
a
fantastic
organization,
and
they
do
they
do
great
work
for
some
of
our
vulnerable
population
that
can't
get
out
of
their
homes.
So
that
is
an
example
of
some
of
the
entities
that
have
received
aid.
We
also
do
council
I
need
to
enunciate
this
too.
B
We
also
have
some
groups
that
don't
ask
for
funding.
They
ask
for
in-kind
which
has
a
cost
to
it.
Obviously,
from
the
city
so,
for
example,
the
Special
Olympics
of
Colorado
during
the
inclement
weather
periods
following
winter
and
sometimes
in
the
spring,
they
a
desire
to
actually
take
their
their
youth
athletes
to
the
recreation
center
and
we
comped
their
use
of
the
recreation
center,
for
example,
they're
athletes
that
swim
or
they're
athletes
that
run
they
use
the
track.
B
D
I've,
since
me,
thanks
for
bringing
this
up
in
advance
of
our
budget
discussion,
I
think
it's
really
a
good
time.
I
would
like
to
keep
our
funding
at
20,000
I.
The
the
groups
that
receive
funding
from
this
really
provide
a
valuable
service
to
our
community
that
we
as
a
city
don't
provide
and
I
think
it's
a
nice
enhancement.
E
B
Sir,
however,
we've
I
have
heard
from
a
couple
of
a
matter
of
fact.
One
of
them
they
just
met
with
me
last
week
and
and
they're
gonna
I
believe
come
this
evening
to
speak.
That's
the
integrated
family
community
services.
They
believe
very
strongly
that
communities
that
they
serve.
They
would
hope
that
they
would
the
cities
would
reciprocate,
but
there
isn't
a
requirement
that
they
that
we
provide
funding.
For
that,
obviously
there's
a
desire
and
in
many
instances
a
need.
Okay,.
G
I
I
struggle
with
this
in
in
spending
taxpayer
money
to
give
to
charitable
organizations,
I
think
they're
all
worthy
causes.
My
husband
and
I
give
a
lot
to
different
charities
and
we
vet
the
charities
we
give
to
because
I
don't
want
to
give
money
to
an
organization
that
has
huge
overhead
and
spends
very
little
on
the
services
that
they
get
and
I.
G
Think
that,
because
we
are
funded
by
taxpayers
that
most
of
those
taxpayers
can
choose
whether
they
want
to
give
to
charitable
organizations
themselves
and
so
I
think
that
while
I
am
NOT
saying
the
these
organizations
that
we've
been
giving
to
and
perhaps
others
that
would
apply,
they're
doing
worthy
causes.
But
we
are
spending
somebody
else's
money
if
it
was
our
own
money
I.
A
H
Think
one
of
the
problems
that
we
end
up,
having
is
that,
once
the
city
participates
on
this
level
that
we
have
somewhat
of
a
partnership
as
to
councilmember
quest
is
kind
of
concerned,
I
think
that
that
becomes
a
problem
because
we
don't
have
any
control
over
their
organization
or
how
many
people
they're
serving
in
Inglewood.
And
so,
if
something
were
to
happen
with
one
of
these
organizations,
then
we
we
end
up
with
a
tie
to
them.
H
I
would
certainly
like,
while
I
share
councilmember
mayor
pro-tem
Russell's
concerned
that
maybe
we
should
stop
this
practice
altogether,
because
we
are
dealing
with
taxpayer
funds
and
then
we
have
these
organizations
come
and
thank
us.
We
didn't
give
them
the
money.
It's
not
our
money,
so
I've
always
felt
somewhat
uncomfortable
about
that,
as
if
they
are
beholding
to
the
city
as
if
then
they
have
to.
You
know,
develop
a
relationship
with
the
city.
True,
it's
not
our
money.
H
Like
I,
said,
I,
don't
think
we've
had
any
organization,
regardless
of
the
involvement
of
any
council
member
on
them
that
wasn't
worthy
of
the
money
that
they
got.
But
we
start
having
that
kind
of
picking
and
choosing
whose
favorite
part
of
the
argument
has
been
that
the
council
that
the
city
does
not
to
social
services.
The
city
doesn't
do
social
services
because
we're
not
supposed
to
do
social
services.
We
don't
function
that
way.
That's
not
the
purpose
where
we
can
support
the
county.
H
We
can
support
some
of
the
programs
coming
in
similar
to
like
the
brothers
redevelopment.
We
have
other
programs
in
the
city
that
we
might
be
able
to
go
ahead
and
partner
with
them
if
we
think
they're
a
viable
resource
for
the
city
and
that's
through
the
Community
Development,
rather
than
doing
it
through
this
vehicle,
there's,
certainly
some
other
opportunities
for
volunteerism
that
we
could
do
that.
We
could
organize
I,
think
the
in-kind
services
they
don't
actually
cost
us
anything
till
that
people
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
rec
center.
H
H
A
B
B
B
The
City
Council
evaluates
it
so
Krista
Krista
gravy
will
put
out
on
the
city's
website
the
application
she
aggregates
them.
I
will
scan
them
and
then
we
provide
them
to
the
City
Council
at
a
workshop
and
the
typically
that's
how
it's
done
in
the
past
and
then
the
council
comes
prepared
after
reading,
through
all
the
applications
and
makes
us
it
makes
those
determinations
they're
really
the
thing
that
we
drive
and
I
think
we've
tried
to
improve
over
the
last
several
years
since
I've
been
here
with.
That
is
tell
us
how
many
people
are
served.
B
I
You
well
I
think
this
funding
is
a
nice
nice
to
have
the
nice
to
do.
My
the
only
thought
I
have
is
that,
given
the
difficult
place
we're
in
with
capital
funding,
could
we
divert
these
funds
this
time
around,
maybe
revisit
it
make
sure
we
revisit
this
next
year?
I
don't
want
to
take
money
away
from
any
location,
but
I
know
that
we're
hard-pressed
to
make
some
of
the
funding
up
here
for
those
dire
kind
of
a
fun
couple
projects.
So
I'm
not
that's
a
thought.
A
Before
I
call
any
mister
requesting
I
want
to
make
a
couple
comments.
I
know
I've
done
this.
A
number
of
years
now
and
I
have
to
admit
that
at
the
beginning,
I
was
really
surprised.
The
city
was
doing
this,
I
didn't
get
it
and
then,
as
we
went
through
applications
and
started
talking
to
people
who
received
it,
it
is.
It
is
really
a
small
amount
of
money
that
most
of
these
organizations
get,
but
in
a
sense
it
is
a
very
strong
voice.
A
I
think
from
us
to
say
thank
you
for
being
in
our
community
doing
things
that
we
really
cannot
do
and
that
Arapahoe
County
also
will
not
probably
be
doing,
and
so
for
me
over
time,
I've
developed
a
different
perspective.
I
would
like
to
see
it
stay.
I
would
not
be
against
entertaining
if
it
needed
to
be
used
in
a
certain
way
this
year
differently
than
in
the
future,
but
I
do
think
that
there
is
a
place
for
cities.
A
Obviously
other
cities
have
done
this
as
well
to
actually
do
some
kind
of
partnerships
in
ways
that
help
in
a
way,
it's
more
of
a
think.
Thank
you
to
some
of
these
and
a
contribution
that
says
we're
behind
you
and
thank
you
for
what
you're
doing
in
a
community
and
let
us
know
how
to
be
of
help.
There
are
lots
of
organizations
that
we
do
ideas
with
or
bids
with
or
whatever
that
you
know.
We've
got
an
agreement
with
them
and
they
could
do
something
bad
and
we
can
get
connected
to
that
as
well.
A
So
it
I
mean
I,
there's
risk
with
everything.
Sorry
I'm,
not
as
concerned
about
that
I
do
I
would
like
to.
If
we
continue
on
to
look
at
the
application
again,
because
I
think
there
were
some
things
from
last
year
that
some
of
us
wanted
on
that
application.
I
can't
remember
what
they
were
and
whether
we
gave
you
the
feedback
for
that
or
not
at
the
time,
but
I
think
there
would
be
a
helpful
thing
for
everyone
to
see
that
there
were.
There
were
questions
and
I.
A
Don't
remember
if
we
asked
about
overhead
or
not
in
the
last
one,
what
the
overhead
administrative
costs
are,
which
is
something
I
would
address:
Mayor
Pro
tems
perspective,
but
I'm
still
in
favor
of
it
because
of
its
a
small
amount
of
money,
20,000
very
small
amount
of
money
for
the
kind
of
services
that
really
deal
with
some
of
the
most
challenged
and
I
think
vulnerable
populations,
as
well
as
helping
prevent
some
things
from
getting
worse
in
our
community.
So
that's
my
take
on
it
compliment
questa.
You
didn't!
Have
your
heads
up.
E
B
J
A
We
have
pulled
back,
especially
during
the
years
of
the
recession.
We
really
pulled
back,
but
then
we
and
we
refocused.
We
thought,
let's
deal
with
those
that
we
know
are
dealing
with
people
just
on
the
edge
and
and
I
think
that's
the
kinds
of
organizations
that
we
see
now
more
so
than
Santa,
Claus
Club
or
things
like
that.
As.
H
A
point
of
information
in
2003
when
I
went
on
to
the
council
I
believe
that
it
was
a
lot
more
than
that
I
think
it
was
close
to
$100,000.
It
was
a
lot
of
money.
The
chapter
remember
the
prior
to
Cinderella
City,
we
weren't
in
debt,
so
they
they
cut
it
down
significantly
and
cut
it
down
to
the
sixty
thousand,
because
there
was
some
concern
even
at
that
time
that
we're
dealing
with
taxpayer
money
and
we're
being
generous
with
somebody
else's
money.
H
G
It
in
response
to
counsel
number
winks
concern
about
capital
projects,
I
do
believe
that
it
would
be
wise
to
address
that
issue
and
sitting
in
the
budget
advisory
committee
meetings
they
over
and
over
say
every
little
bit
adds
up
so
I'm
thinking
that
it
would
be
wise.
It's
interesting
on
this
list
that
staff
gave
us
that
Greenwood
Village
in
2008
be
prior
to
that
they
budgeted
thirty
five
thousand
a
year,
but
in
2008
they
cut
it
out
altogether
and
they
have
never
reinstituted
it,
and
that
is
probably
when
the
recession
was
in
full
swing.
G
A
One
last
thing:
I
I
did
want
to
say
and
I
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
ask
the
mayor
of
Greenwood
Village
why
they
actually
cut,
but
I
did
talk
to
one
other
councilmember
who
thought
it
was
because
of
the
recession,
but
also
because
they
didn't
have
the
same
kind
of
nonprofits
nor
the
same
kind
of
vulnerable
populations
that
some
of
the
first
tier
cities
have
I,
don't
know.
If
that's
who
knows
what
their
conversation
was,
but
I
do
so.
We
need
to
give
some
kind
of
direction
tonight
right
manager.
Kick
it.
B
B
J
B
A
Idea
that
I
don't
know
when
we
haven't
ever
talked
about
this.
Well,
maybe
I
mentioned
it
once
in
the
regular
meeting,
but
I
am
really
concerned
about
how
we
are
earmarking,
our
marijuana
tax
money
right
now,
it
just
goes
Drent
into
the
general
fund.
We
don't
see
any
impact
from
it,
cities
that
have
been
really
smart
about
that
kind
of
attacks
have
earmarked
it
for
things
that
impact
the
community,
and
that
is
one
way
we
could.
A
A
So,
let's
take
a
sort
of
a
temperature:
where
are
people
on
this?
You
want
more
information,
I'm,
not
sure
we
can
kick
it
down
more
than
another
meeting.
But
what,
where
are
you
all
on
it
remember?
Martino's
I
think
we
know
have
you
changed
in
your
view
at
all?
No
okay,
I
caught
some
EverQuest,
oh
I,.
F
Would
with
all
the
money
this
year,
I
think
that
there's
many
more
direct
applications
that
we
have
20,000
as
a
lot
as
people
are
spoken
with
another
interesting
point
among
personal
perspectives,
I
looked
down
the
list.
Some
of
those
charities,
just
in
my
own
head,
seem
more
worthwhile
than
others
in
their
direct
impact
to
people
I'm
sure
each
person
could
look
at
that
list
and
come
up
with
a
different
ranking
of
those
charities,
and
that
alone
tells
me
that
how
are
we
picking
winners
and
losers
with
that
money?
A
As
a
point
of
information
on
how
it
was
done,
is
we
all
did
rank
them
and
gave
comments
of
why
we
ranked
them
a
certain
way,
and
then
we
just
came
to
some
kind
of
an
agreement
together
and
always
we
get
and
it's
changed
every
year,
depending
on.
Sometimes
things
have
changed
over
the
year
that
we
need
to
reach.
That
is
why
we
refocused
on
food
and
yeah,
most
and
food
bank
type
stuff.
It.
F
One
more
Mon
and
one
more
note-
and
maybe
it's
all
or
nothing
but,
for
instance,
the
Special
Olympics
looking
to
use
the
rec
center.
That's
something
to
me
it's
a
little
easier
and
that
it's
not
it's
not
money
out
of
in
that
those
ones.
I
think
would
be
easier
to
entertain
if
we
were
somehow
able
to
participate
in
those
open.
H
With
Councilman
requester
that
I've
never
been
happy
with
picking
the
winners
and
losers
and
as
this
council
picks,
the
winners
and
losers
are
picked
by
the
majority
of
the
council,
and
so
there
are
always
people
that
are
not
going
to
get
funded
and
that
that
does
leave
some
hurt
feelings
and
then
some
discussion
and
debate
on
who's
worthy
or
what's
going
on
or
who's
better.
But
I
do
appreciate
council
member
wing
suggestion,
and
that
is
that
we
have
just
had
something
very
devastating
happen
that
hit
our
community
very
directly.
H
I
do
apologize,
I
said
I
agree
with
councilmember,
wink
and
I
believe
that
the
issue
that
happened
to
us
is
very
obviously
in
our
backyard
and
in
our
home
here.
So
the
suggestion
to
repurpose
it
for
this
year
to
go
ahead
and
take
up
some
of
that
cost
and
maybe
kind
of
look
at
some
ways
that
we
can
address.
The
issues
of
the
people
in
our
community
that
were
head
I
have
always
felt
uncomfortable
with
this.
H
I
continue
to
I
like
I,
like
your
suggestion
for
this
particular
funding
and
I
would
agree
with
councilmember
questa
$20,000
is
a
lot
of
money
and
I.
Don't
think
that's
a
drop
in
the
bucket
for
us,
so
I
do
think
that
we
should
be
aware
of
that
and
that
were
kind
of
Dolan
that
out
on
the
on
the
taxpayer.
H
So
I
would
agree
with
doing
that
for
this
year
and
then
I
would
really
appreciate
if
this
council
would
consider
really
whether
we
should
just
go
to
a
system
of
whether
we're
looking
at
organizations
and
finding
a
home
for
them
in
some
other
funding
that
we
have
in
the
city
and
get
rid
of
this
altogether,
and
so
that
we
can
stop
having
this
conversation
every
year.
But
will
at
least
have
it
one
more
year.
So
I
guess.
C
A
B
A
A
All
money
we
spend
here
is
taxpayers
money,
whether
it's
for
this
or
anything
else,
we're
making
decisions
all
of
the
time
to
use
our
money
that
all
of
us
contribute
and
so
I
take
that
seriously
and
I'm
fine,
we'll
move
forward
with
this
I
think
there
are
other
ways
to
do
some
things
this
year,
possibly
but
I
don't
want
anyone
to
think
that
I,
don't
I
think
$20,000
is
very
much.
I
also
think
that
$200
to
some
organizations
is
a
lot
of
money
and
to
other
organization.
A
B
B
B
Out
of
the
capital
products
loan
for
identified
projects,
and
so
this
is
an
important
understand
that
that's
appropriating
funds
that
again
from
your
unrestricted
net
assets
or
your
unassigned
fund
balance
to
help
with
uses
for
projects,
and
that's
not
unusual
for
it
for
cities
or
entities
to
do
so.
If
you
look
at
our
current
fiscal
year,
our
sources
are
49
million
expenses
around
48
million.
So
you
can
see
that
there
is
a
growth.
A
H
B
Sources
and
uses
for
2019
so
diving
down
into
this
a
little
bit
deep,
more
deeply.
Here's
a
breakdown
of
our
cost
constituent
costs,
so
you
can
get
a
flavor
for
what
really
drives
the
overall
budget
cost.
Well,
we're
a
service
organization,
and
so
the
majority
or
the
preponderance
of
our
funding
is
going
to
be
personnel
related
and
that's
about
twenty
nine
point:
four
million
dollars
commodities
about
two
point:
one
contractual
services:
fifteen
point:
seven
million
capital
expense-
and
this
again
is
not
just
capital
projects.
B
These
are
capital
expense
for
items
that
that
are
needed
to
make
things:
go
parts,
maintenance,
pieces
tools,
seven
hundred,
seventy
three
thousand
and
then
debt
service,
a
million
six
that
number
in
and
of
itself
I
believe
is
the
debt
service
for
their
certificates
of
participation
or
this
building.
This
is
a
general
general
fund.
B
General
fund
expense,
see
that's
where
you
get
the
forty
nine
point:
five
million
dollars
in
total
expense,
and
then
you
see
where
we
have
an
operating
transfer
out
of
a
million
that
gets
us
to
the
total
use
of
fifty
point
five
million
and
of
course,
we're
gonna
talk
a
little
bit
more.
Why
we
need
that
a
million
dollar
operating
transfer
out,
as
we
progress
this
evening
through
this
slide,
show.
G
B
So
what
are
some
of
the
assumptions
that
we're
taking
going
into
this
year's
budget
number
one
we're
seeing
a
sales
and
use
tax,
year-over-year
increase
of
six
point,
nine
percent
and
you're
saying
well:
where
did
that
number
come
from?
Where
does
that?
How
does
that
transpire?
Well,
council
previously
I
believe
we
sent
I
know
we
did
we
sent
you
this
electronic
copy,
I
love
this
report,
you
probably
all
haven't
read
this
cover
to
cover
like
Kathy
and
I
have,
but.
D
B
B
Or
elucidates,
where
the
state
state's
economist
believes
things
are
going
and
so
for
them
for
sales
and
use
tax
there's
their
increase
was
actually
five
point.
Five
point:
two
percent
for
sales,
but
of
course,
when
you
couple
that
with
our
use,
tax
and
our
use
tax
again
is
applied
to
construction
projects
or
people
who
are
building
something
paying
a
use
tax.
B
That's
where
we
derived
this
6.9%
figure
and
again
it's
predicated
upon
prior
performance
of
the
city,
where
we've
seen
things
go
over
the
last
two
years.
One
of
the
things
that
you
all
have
brought
to
our
attention
as
staff
or
at
least
asked
us
to
look
at,
was
a
more
accurate
accounting
of
our
revenues.
B
The
last
couple
of
years
we've
been
very
fortunate
to
have
years,
wherein
our
revenues
were
higher
than
what
we
anticipated,
as
well
as
our
expenditures
being
lower
than
what
we
anticipated
and
so
you've
asked
us
to
drill
down
a
little
bit
deeper
and
say:
can
we
be
a
little
more
exact
so
that
we're
not
seeing
these
overages
in
revenue
for
if
you
will
and
then
underages
with
spending?
So
we're
doing
that
and
we'll
talk
about
some
of
the
constituent
members
of
where
we
see
sales
tax
increasing
as
well
as
we
go
along.
B
So
all
of
our
other
revenue
year
over
year,
increase
we're
seeing
about
1.1
percent
increase
and
other
revenues
are
fines
and
forfeitures.
So,
for
example,
when
somebody
gets
a
ticket
or
they
go
to
court
and
again
this
is
a
community
not
like
some
of
our
surrounding
communities
and
it
won't
name
names
like
Sheridan
or
Morrison
who
are
citation
nation
members
we're
not.
We
don't
do
that,
but
we
do
see
that
revenues
from
that
are
going
to
grow
slightly
from
this
year
and
then
expenditures
as
well.
J
B
B
Well,
if
you
look
again
to
this
report
that
basically
calculates
the
cost
of
commodities
fuels
things
that
you
in
your
own
household,
utilize
energy,
we're
looking
at
through
the
same
types
of
increases
as
an
organization,
we're
not
immune
to
things
that
go
on
in
the
greater
economy
that
drive
our
costs
as
well
and
so
four
point:
seven
percent
is
part
of
that.
That
figure
so
looking
beyond,
so
we're
looking
2020
and
beyond
the
state
is
taking
a
much
more,
very
tight
look
at
where
things
are
going
to
be
growing.
B
So
you
start
to
look
at
the
end
of
2019
going
in
a
2000
20,
you
see
a
cooling
of
the
economy
more
so
than
we
have
now
so
you're
asking
what's
driving
this
cooling
of
this
economy
right
now.
Well,
we've
been
on
a
meteoric
and
stratospheric
rise
with
the
with
the
economy.
Two
things
are
happening.
That's
slowing
that
down
number
one.
We
have
global
uncertainty
again.
B
B
There's
all
kinds
of
little
places
in
the
world
that
you've
never
heard
of
these
any
country
by
the
name
of
has
the
ending
of
Stan
is
usually
causing
us
problems,
and
so
that
that's
one
thing
that
hurts
us,
but
also
the
Federal
Open
Market
Committee,
the
Fmoc
otherwise
known
as
the
Fed
continues
to
increase
the
interest
rates.
And
so,
if
we
look
at
where
we've
been
so,
you
go
back
to
2013,
the
Fed
rate
was
point
to
5%.
The
Fed
rate
today
is
2%,
and
so
with
the
federal
rate.
B
Now
at
2%,
that's
what
they
lend
money
to
banks
for
this
is
like
MBA
101,
so
the
lending
money
to
banks
at
2%-
and
they
have
a
the
banks
of
course-
have
a
markup
and
if
you
were
to
go
acquire
some
debt
today
for
a
30-year
debt.
You're.
Looking
at
four
and
a
half
percent
or
about
four
point,
eight
percent
APR
15
year
rate
right
now
is
about
four
four
and
a
half
four
point
before
a
quarter.
B
Historically,
low
rates,
four
and
a
half
percent
is
still
historically
low.
Many
of
you
may
recall
even
I
recall
when
I
was
eight
years
old
in
the
70s
when
Jimmy
Carter
was
president
I.
Remember
some
friends
of
my
parents.
They
got
a
loan
for
eighteen
percent
and
they
were
happy
we're
at
four-and-a-half
percent
right
now.
B
So
we're
a
far
cry
from
that,
but
it
still
started
to
cause
a
cooling
and
we're
seeing
that
too
in
our
real
estate
community
right
here
in
Englewood,
where
the
real
estate,
boo
and
everybody
was
put
in
their
home
for
up
for
sale
and
getting
the
you
know
getting
some
crazy
numbers
for
small
square.
That's
cooling
off
a
little
bit
to
predicated
on
there's
too
much
inventory
and
the
interest
rates
are
higher
and
people
who
are
marginally
looking
at
whether
they
can
get
alone
and
substantiated
or
stopping
to
do
that.
B
So
we're
seeing
that
that's
going
to
continue.
We
understand
that
the
Fed
who's
already
done
to
rate
increases
this
year
is
might
have
a
third
or
a
fourth
increase
this
year
to
go
to
two
and
a
half
percent.
The
Fed
rate
might
be
a
two
and
a
half
percent
and
that's
what's
driving
that
the
decline,
if
you
will
in
the
forecast
going
forward
so
look
at
this
I
know
it's
kind
of
small.
You
might
have
to
take
an
eye
test
and
look
at
this.
B
But
if
you
look
at
where
we
are
right
now
that
the
January
fund
balance
of
18,
the
fund
balance
opened
up
at
about
14
point
1
million,
we
had
estimated
sources
this
year
of
49
million
with
estimated
uses
at
47
and
we're
forecasting
that
the
fund
balance
at
the
beginning
of
2019
January
1
of
2019
will
be
fifteen
point
three,
our
estimated
sources
for
2019
or
estimated
to
be
49
and
point
six
uses
at
fifty
point,
five,
with
a
fund
balance.
Again
this
is
target.
B
Okay.
So
this
chart,
you
see
many
times,
we've
kind
of
even
enhanced
it.
Thanks
to
the
Mayor
Pro
Tem
Russell
asking
for
the
table
reserve
to
be
split
out.
It's
important
to
note
that
that
is
a
part.
The
table
reserve
is
a
part
of
the
unassigned
fund
balance,
but
for
tonight's
purposes
we
broke
it
out
even
further.
You
can
see
where
we
are
right
now,
with
our
estimated
unassigned
fund
balance
being
right,
where
it
is
a
little
bit,
15
million
or
so,
but
you
can
see
that
for
2019
there's
a
decrease.
B
H
B
The
long-term
asset
reserve,
the
unassigned
fund
balance,
is
the
is
the
red
line
which
we
have
as
sixteen
point
seven.
Six
percent
of
your
total
general
fund.
You
can
see
what's
happening
you
over
time
that
diminishment
we've
been
able
to
stave
this
off
again
the
the
fact
where
we
we
can't
dip
into
our
fund
balance,
because
we've
had
higher
revenue
years
and
lower
expense
years,
but
that's
not
always
gonna
be
the
case.
B
It
has
always
been
the
case
since
I've
been
here
but
I've
been
here
during
Rosie
times
we
haven't
had
a
recession,
we
haven't
had
a
global
recession
and
that's
you
know
the
conditions
are
starting
to
look
look
right
for
that
when
the
short-term
rates
are
higher
than
the
long-term
rates,
no
long-term
interest
rates.
That's
where
things
flip
the
yield
curve
flips.
We
need
to
be
worried
and
keep
looking
at
that
because
that's
that's
coming
folks.
Yes,.
G
B
B
B
Thank
you.
So
what
improvements
are
we
gonna
see?
So
again,
we
put
this
budget
together.
Looking
at
a
couple
of
things,
number
one
obviously
available
funding
but
and
the
direction
from
our
citizenry
from
the
the
budget
workshops
was
hey.
We
really
like
the
programs
and
services
you
provide
today.
Please
continue
those,
but
also
please
do
more
capital
projects,
because
we
want
new
playground
equipment
in
all
of
our
parks
or
whatever
those
things
were.
B
So
when
we
put
the
budget
together,
we
also
utilize
the
City
Council
strategic,
overarching
themes
to
do
so,
and
so
we're
going
to
go
through
a
quick
review
of
what
those
are
right
here
and
what
we're
doing
to
relate
to
those
so
under
strong
infrastructure,
community
parks,
one
of
the
things
that
we're
doing,
we
want
to
add
a
water
resources
position,
and
this
position
is
not
going
to
require
any
funding
for
the
general
fund.
We
believe
that
this
position
can
actually
be
substantiated
by
reducing
our
spend
without
site
consultants.
B
So,
for
example,
we
expend
between
an
engineer
as
well
as
a
law
firm
about
a
million
dollars
to
look
at
our
water
rights
every
year.
That's
a
lot
of
money.
That
is
a
lot
of
money.
It's
a
big
investment
that
we're
protecting
at
50
million
dollars,
that's
what
our
net
portfolio
of
water
assets
and
all
that's
allegedly
worth.
So
to
do
that,
we
feel
like
we
want
to
have
greater
control
over
how
much
that
spend
is,
and
we
want
to
have
that
expertise
in-house,
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
articulate.
H
B
B
We
need
to
be
able
to
clearly
understand
the
assets
that
we
own
I
couldn't
tell
you
that
the
assets
that
we
own
right
now
I
know
Tom
Brennan
can
try
to
do
so
and
we'll
all
glaze
over,
like
I
kind
of
do,
and
but
we
need
to
be
able
to
clearly
understand
that
we
want
that
expertise
in-house.
The
other
thing
that
we
want
to
do
is
develop
a
long
term
revenue
plan
for
capital
investments,
especially
our
parts
and
our
utilities.
B
We
heard
time
and
time
again,
not
only
from
our
citizenry,
that
we
had
the
budget
workshops,
but
just
people
who
kept
stopping
by
to
say
please,
please
invest
more
in
the
parks.
Please
do
things
that
are
going
to
generate
more
value
and
the
things
that
people
value
the
most
in
our
community
are
our
parks.
B
We
have
to
be
honest
at
parks
and
then
the
safety
of
course,
but
especially
here,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
spending
some
dollars
or
looking
at
plans
that
expend
dollars
to
keep
those
assets
in
the
shape
that
they
are
today
and
provide
people
with
a
high-quality
experience
when
they,
when
they
do
attend
our
parks
and
again,
a
good
news
story
from
if
we
have
a
good
news
story
moment.
A
couple
weeks
ago
we
did
hear
from
Arapahoe
County
open
space
that
we
received
the
Jason
park.
B
Playground
grant
at
awesome,
that's
roughly
250,000
dollars
now
that
we
don't
have
to
expend
out
of
our
general
fund
or
the
parks,
trust
fund
or
the
lottery
funds
that
we
get
conservation,
trust
to
actually
put
in
new
playground
equipment.
So
we're
able
to
do
another
part,
but
we
would
like
to
even
go
further
and
address
more,
but
we
need
to
get
a
plan
first
and
then
also
with
our
utilities.
We
want.
H
B
A
B
I'll
sprint
so
historic
past
from
our
future.
We
want
to
you
know,
continue
to
install
sidewalk
ramps
to
ensure
all
residents
have
mobility,
we're
looking
at
things
we
can
do
with
our
transportation
system,
specifically
our
signals.
We
know
that
in
certain
areas
of
town
people
want
slower
and
the
certain
areas
of
town
people
want
it,
maybe
a
little
bit
so
it
doesn't
go
faster,
but
facilitates
more
traffic
flow.
B
I
guess
is
back
on
for
sometime
this
week,
Wednesday
yeah,
and
so
that's
the
Weingarten
portfolio,
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
work
with
whomever
that
successor
land
owner
will
be
to
look
at
redevelopment
and
vibrancy
and
activity
here,
and
not
just
some
of
the
same
old
same
old.
So
what
are
we
doing
for
safe
fun?
Active
engaged?
Well,
safety
is
a
huge
issue
and
we
heard
this
very
clearly
as
well,
so
we're
proposing
to
add
an
additional
dispatcher
to
support
our
communication
system,
we're
adding
additional
fire
inspector
right
now
we
have
about.
B
We
have
over
3,000
businesses
that
need
to
be
inspected
in
inglewood
and
we're
only
able
to
get
to
about
twenty
to
twenty
three
hundred
of
them,
and
so
we
need
to
have
another
inspector
to
come
on
to
add
that
safety
factor
so
that
we're
not
getting
into
situation
where
we're
we're
not
hitting
all
of
our
businesses
on
an
annual
basis.
We
are
proposing
to
add
additional
police
officer
in
the
in
the
budget.
B
This
is
also
very
important.
We've
found
that
the
outsourced
social
worker
that
we've
been
granted
16
hours
a
week
from
all
Health
Network
has
been
unbelievably
helpful
and
unbelievably
just
positive
for
us
in
our
our
team
and
our
impact
team,
and
we
want
to
continue
that,
and
so
we
are
asking
for
funding
to
continue
that
program,
but
at
a
higher
level
we
want
to
take
from
16
to
32
hours
and
so
that
delta
of
funding
is
what
we're
seeking
it's
about.
B
Twenty
nine
thousand
dollars
I
believe
that's
included
in
this
budget,
so
we'll
have
twice
the
hour
twice
the
coverage
and
twice
the
hours
now
in
2019,
with
a
social
worker
working
with
our
Police
Department
and
our
most
vulnerable
population.
We
also
want
to
continue
to
invest
in
engagement
through
events
and
publications
and
then
also.
Lastly,
just
as
important,
we
started
some
work
on
Broadway.
B
We
want
to
continue
that
work
on
Broadway,
not
just
a
34
or
33
and
3500
block,
but
others
to
improve
the
attractiveness
and
so
there's
some
funding
in
there
to
replace
some
lighting.
There's
funding
in
the
budget
to
replace
some
some
street
furniture
that
needs
to
be
replaced
as
well
throughout
the
entire
corridor,
sustainable
natural
environment.
B
We
certainly
hope
in
a
few
weeks
that
the
council
will
support
the
biogas
project,
but
we're
also
looking
beyond
that,
as
well
as
to
what
other
sustainable
energy
types
of
programs
can
we
get
involved
with
you
know,
Renewable
Connect
is
great.
We
recently
had
the
commercial
opening
for
that.
We
were
able
to
get
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
in,
but
beyond
that
the
capacity
was
so
full,
so
the
interest
was
so
high.
B
We
weren't
able
to
get
any
of
our
other
facility
into
that
program,
but
that's
good
news,
because
the
wastewater
plant
uses
2.2
million
kilowatt
hours
a
year
and
that's
2.2
million.
Hopefully,
I
wanted
to
get
the
contract
back
of
renewable
energy
they're
using,
but
we're
also
want
to
look
and
see
we
can
collaborate
and
partner
with
the
private
sector
to
leverage
our
land
that
we
have
that's
not
being
used
for
solar,
and/or,
wind,
fiscal
sustainability.
Again
we
are
looking
to
look
at
programs
that
are
going
to
protect
our
infrastructure.
B
We
want
to
revitalize
facilities
because
that's
an
investment
that
you've
made
and
our
residents
have
made
back.
You
know
in
the
70s
and
80s
and
90s
in
our
facilities.
We
want
to
freshen
up
our
recreation
center
by
redesigning
the
entry.
For
example,
that's
a
huge
projects
about
a
million
and
a
half
dollar
project
that
we
support
and
that's
also
going
to
help
replace
rip
and
repairing
sections
of
that
roof.
We
want
to
look
at
our
investment
here
at
the
Civic
Center.
That
also
has
problems.
I
know.
B
Some
of
you
were
here
the
night
of
the
storm
on
the
24th,
and
we
had
indoor
water
features
in
our
building.
That
I
never
thought
existed,
and
it's
not
a
good
thing.
So
we
need
to
look
at
the
roof
there
and
also
look
at
the
aging
freight
elevator
other
elevators
and
our
obsolete
HVAC
system.
That's
either
on
or
off
it's
just
no
in
between,
and
then
we
also
want
to
help
guide
the
council
to
examine
fiscal
sustainability
options
for
our
future
organizational
excellence,
again
improving
technology.
B
We
want
to
improve
a/v
and
communications,
not
only
here
in
this
room,
and
then
you
know
throughout
the
community
how
we
communicate.
But
specifically,
what
can
we
do
to
communicate
better
with
residents?
We
want
to
take
and
offer
people
the
opportunity
to
pay
online
or
from
an
application
on
the
telephone,
because
that's
where
people
are
going
these
days
to
pay
on
an
app,
we
want
to
update
the
municipal
courts
and
recreational
software,
that's
again
more
interactive
and
more
user
friendly
and,
lastly,
document
management.
B
We
want
to
be
able
to
do
that
to
offer
transparency
and
hopefully
eliminate
the
need
for
core
requests.
People
can
get
the
information
they
need
online,
so
capital
budget,
here's
what
we're
not
able
to
do
and
we're
gonna
get
into
this
in
greater
detail
next
week,
but
we're
not
able
to
fund
Cushing
Park.
B
That's
the
number
one
park
master
plan
project
was
Cushing
Park,
there's
no
funding
for
Pirates
Cove
until
2024,
so
we're
pushing
projects
out
in
order
to
fund
about
5.4
million
dollars
that
we'll
talk
about
here
in
a
few
minutes
as
well,
and
there's
no
funding
for
little
Dry
Creek
Plaza
the
plaza
it's
over
here.
Aside
from
securing
the
trash
great
over
the
over
the
entry
that
goes
into
the
very
deep
and
long
storm
drain
system,
some
products
have
to
be
reduced
or
deferred
so,
for
example,
alley
paving
and
beautification
is
going
to
every
other
year.
B
We
can't
fund
it
in
2019
will
be
every
other
year.
The
broadband
study
that
was
brought
up
as
being
pushed
out
of
the
20
21
and
then
facilities
and
operations
funding
is
reduced
to
290
thousand
dollars
for
2019.
From
its
current
rate
of
400,000,
so
that's
a
significant
decrease
of
what
we're
not
able
to
do
to
do
maintenance
in
our
facilities.
That's
all
of
our
facilities
that
require
that
other
than
utilities,
so,
capital
again.
We
need
unrestricted
fund
balance,
still
required
to
do
projects
in
2019.
B
So,
for
example,
a
major
project
that
we
weren't
able
to
do
without
that
additional
million
dollars
is
the
is
the
roof
repair
for
this
building,
the
2.1
million
dollars.
You
know
and
again
we're
going
to
get
into
this
in
greater
detail
next
week.
So
I
won't
belabor
this
too
far,
but
here's
a
quick
calendar
of
our
next
steps
of
what
we're
going
to
do
so.
August
13th
is
a
presentation
to
capital
on
capital
to
our
council
in
our
community
and
the
27th.
We're
going
to
be
diving
into
the
operating
programs.
B
What
I
will
say
is
this
there's
some
major
themes,
the
biggest
theme
for
this
year
again
is:
we
simply
do
not
have
adequate
funding
to
address
all
of
our
capital
needs.
We
had
over
15
million
dollars
in
requests
for
cap
projects
in
2019
and
we're
only
able
to
fund
5.4
million
of
them.
This
is
a
consistent
theme
for
us.
B
The
other
thing
that's
a
theme
was
that
every
project
that
was
incorporated
in
the
you
know
was
incorporated
because
it's
critical
to
the
operations
of
the
city,
critical
to
ensure
that
we're
maintaining
our
infrastructure
and
making
sure
that
it's
functional
make
sure
that
safe
for
the
public
you
know,
funding
for
park.
Improvements
is
critically
inadequate.
We've
heard
that
we
know
that
from
our
citizenry
who've
come
at
budget
workshops
as
well
as
to
the
dais
to
say,
Council
policemen,
Romans
Parker,
whatever
that
might
be
that
that's
their
enterprise
capital
investment.
B
We
also
learned
this
and
know
this
and
you'll
see
this
coming
up
as
well
with
their
enterprise
budgets.
Enterprise
capital
funding
is
not
keeping
need
up
with
needed
improvements
as
well,
and,
of
course,
enterprises
are
being
driven
by
new
regulations,
new
requirements
from
the
Colorado
Department
of
Public
Health
and
Environment,
as
well
as
the
EPA,
and
so
we
have
to
increase
our
revenue
streams
there
and
the
way
that's
paid
for
through
our
rates
will
be
having
rates
that
will
be
brought
forward
as
well
as
part
of
the
operating
budget.
B
J
B
And
so
part
of
that
part
of
this
process
again
needs
to
be
a
dialogue
where
we
we
have
some
additional
study
and
look
at
different
options
again.
I'm
not
here,
advocating
any
taxation.
I'm,
not
I,
know
that
keeps
getting
thrown
out
there.
The
city
manager
wants
to
taxes
to
death.
He
doesn't.
What
he
wants
us
to
do
is
have
a
conversation
about
what
do
we
want
to
continue?
What
what
can
we
live
without,
and
we
have
a
community-wide
conversation
about?
What
does
that
look
like?
B
What
does
it
mean
for
a
community
of
our
size
to
provide
the
level
of
service
and
programs
that
we
do
at
the
revenue
levels
that
we
do?
It's
phenomenal
I
mean
I
am
proud
of
our
community
for
what
we
have
and
what
we're
able
to
do
and
the
vision
that
the
forefathers
and
mothers
had
to
provide
some
of
these
facilities
are
fantastic,
but
we're
getting
to
the
point
where,
if
we
don't
invest
back
into
them
to
maintain
what
we
have
we're.
Gonna
have
problems
and
there's
no
way.
B
I'm
gonna
be
able
to
cut
operations
to
be
able
to
fund
the
levels
of
capital
necessary
to
ensure
that
these
facilities
are
sustainable.
You
know
moving
forward,
and
so
we
might
have
to
make
some
difficult
choices.
Every
household
does.
Every
business
does
and
we're
a
business
now
that
have
to
make
some
decisions
about
programmatically.
So,
yes
mayor,
we
will
have
some
thoughts
and
ideas
with
that.
But
again,
our
ideas
are
insignificant
compared
to
what
you
and
your
constituents
believe
is
going
to
be
acceptable.
Thank.
C
I'll
keep
this
quick
since
we
only
have
a
couple
minutes,
but
what
I'm
looking
for
and
then
when
we
speak
next,
is
just
some
of
the
assumptions
that
we're
making.
Currently,
you
know
2018
we're
forecasting
a
3%
growth
in
sales
and
use
tax.
Why
does
it
jump
up
to
six
point?
Nine
percent
in
2019
just
what
the
real
dollars
are
in
terms
of
the
increase
in
the
benefit
cost
yeah,
it's
15
percent
I
know
that
that's
a
huge
chunk.
C
G
Real
quick:
are
we
going
to
be
talking
about
the
police
budget,
part
of
it,
because
my
question
is
when
we
were
told
that
we
were
down
five
officers?
Are
we
adding
one
more
person
to
that
so
bringing
our
five
officers
up
and
then
adding
one
more
officer?
So,
but
will
we
be
talking
about
that
again
between
to
get
to
the
fight.
B
Yes,
yes,
we
sure
can
and-
and
you
heard,
that
we
were
five
down-
the
chief
made
three
offers
I
believe
they've
all
been
accepted,
and
we
have
two
more
that
we
might
have
me
making
offers
to
as
well,
so
that
that
issue
may
have
already
been
resolved.
But
yes,
we'd
be
adding
another
one
on
top
of
top
of
the
five
that
are
that
we're
down
question.
B
We
will,
but
I
will
say
this
we're
trying
to
get
away
again
from
zeroing
in
on
focusing
on
one
department
over
another.
What
we
talk,
this
is
the
whole
philosophy
of
community
oriented
budgeting
or
community
goals.
Is
we
no
longer
talk
about?
We
taught
you
talked
about
winners
and
losers
earlier
tonight.
What
we
don't
want
to
have
is
public
safety,
wins
parks
loses,
and
so,
when
we
start
to
talk
about
positions
and
adding
we
don't
want
it
to
be
a
some
Department
wins
some
part
and
loses
kind
of
thing.
