A

So it's just uh five of us.

B

um All right, we're, recording and yes, currently um sean won't be able to make it. But I'm not sure where mayor pro tem is that's fine.

A

um Perfect probably check my text uh so good morning. Everyone welcome to today's mayor manager. Meeting for wednesday may 18th in the room with me. Here is assistant city clerk, teach trust, kit, reed city clerk, stephanie, carlyle uh assistant city manager, tim dodd and assist bar. Excuse me, city attorney, tamara niles, sorry about that tamara um tim I'll, pass it to you to get us kicked off.

C

All right, great thanks mayor, so looking at the 23rd this coming monday, we have the uh financial report from director, jackie lowe, 10 minutes presentation and uh how much time should we sign for discussion for that? One.

A

Oh five minutes it was like.

C

Okay, I'll do five minutes for that. um The next one is the utilities, customer survey and taste and odor and you'll. Remember that this these were two items that we condensed into one. So 10, minute, presentation and 30 discussion is that still, okay.

B

C

Great third study session is the presentation regarding restrictions on lying down in public rights of way, I'm that our city attorney tamara niles will be doing with mike sangren from change the trend. So we have 15 minutes for presentation and how long should we assign for discussion.

A

I would say to be on the safe side- let's just say, 30 minutes for discussion.

B

D

And mayor, I I don't know if it's going to take that long. um The presentation is more on. um This is what the law is on public rights of way and um obstructions of on public right-of-way and our regulations, and whether city council wants us to consider a traffic study to determine whether we should consider amending municipal code to include a sitting or lying down. Prohibition in certain areas um to ensure sidewalks aren't impeded.

A

Okay, if we're able to limit the scope to that, then I can see the conversation only taking about 15 minutes. The reason why I said 30 was because I could see it drift outside of those boundaries so.

D

It started as a camping ban and then, as I um studied the issue, I determined that and it started as a council request that it wasn't really a camping ban. It was that there were people blocking the sidewalks impeding pedestrian traffic and business entrances.

B

Okay- and I did want to note that mayor pro tem ward- has joined us perfect. Thank you.

A

It's okay. We just got started so we're on the third line item there, the restriction online down in public right away um so tamara. If that's the case, I I can still see this taking up more time.

A

Mayor pro tem, do you have any thoughts? I originally thought it was 30 minutes.

A

You know I you know, I could go 20 minutes here, but I can see this still taking or just yeah. The discussion is going a little bit longer so.

E

Yeah, this is a big policy discussion, but it's early, so this is the first time we're having this discussion publicly as as a council. So I think uh 20 minutes would be fine uh just to flush out what we would actually like to see. um I'm concerned about, uh restricting it to the right way. I think there are some places in our city where camping is just a plate, not appropriate and generally painted. Okay,.

D

And mayor pro tim ward, we have changed the scope it started out, as this is the law on camping bans and now um it's as it's evolved. It's now um blocking sidewalks streets and sidewalks and business entrances and also, I think.

E

Our discussion will revolve around that. We may want to walk that back a little bit to the first stage, but we'll do that.

D

And what may extend the discussion is mike. Sandgren um has some slides in the presentation about resources, because this will impact those experiencing homelessness, and so he has a few slides on resources available in inglewood um for for those experiencing homelessness. So I there will be some discussion on that too. I'm sure.

B

A

Tim, do you have what you need on that one? I.

C

Do yeah, thank you um so on to the next one. So I think this is what is making this monday's meeting a special meeting. Is uh the council bill 30 approval of an ordinance and mandate ordinance 15 for the for the wiffy alone, um so that will also be on the docket um for this coin monday on the 23rd, um then? Obviously, as we know the week after is the fifth week, it's also memorial day, so there won't be a meeting, and the next meeting is june 6..

C

The first is a presentation, thanks jade for advancing it, a study session to present the 2021 annual, comprehensive financial report and audit results.

C

The next is a study session on the englewood environmental foundation, dissolution that many council members have asked for so that'll, be on the 6th of june there's a third study session, so it'll be three study sessions. It looks like um at the beginning of the regular meeting on june 6th and that third, one is the final study session presentation on proposed revisions to the city charter um for the 2020 2022 ballot.

A

Give me a second real, quick uh tim. I just want to catch up on all those.

B

C

A

Perfect: okay, we're good.

C

And we'll start in discussion times net uh not next week, but the week after is that correct, oh well, actually is.

B

This I would, I would.

A

So yeah for the six. Let me see here so the presentation of the how much this presentation is 10 minutes. What do you think for that? One steve is that about 15-minute discussion.

E

A

Oh wait: wait. Wait! I'm just noticing that this is a council meeting night. We have three study session items and one of them the e dissolution. How how complex do you think that that discussion is going to be on that night tim.

C

I think I I'll defer to tamara to see if she has has more insight. I I think it's really more of an update, but it is um depending on the questions council members have, it could be a could be a relatively lengthy discussion, but I don't know tamara what you think.

D

I didn't even know this was on the agenda until now. I assume it's a follow-up to the council request and perhaps to answer any questions. Council may have.

A

Okay and I'm actually noticing the last item that city charter conversation, we discussed it at length on monday and probably gave good direction. I don't expect that to have a 20-minute presentation again and I'm thinking that discussion may only be 10., um so I would say 10 minutes on that last item, the city charter and, I would say, maybe a 15 to 15-minute discussion on the eve. The solution.

B

Okay, to update the presentation time for the charter.

A

Yeah, are you expecting any uh any presentation.

D

Time on that, uh no we discussed whether we should just go directly to a proposed ordinance or whether a second presentation I think we based on the conversation and the issues that we're having filling boards. I think we will propose a change to all of the board um number requirements to give um council discretion and authority to just to set the numbers by ordinance rather than my charter, um but other than that. I it will be largely the same.

B

Five-Minute discussion and or five-minute presentation, ten-minute discussion for charger.

A

Yeah, just because we always have a discussion or presentation time. Yep sounds good to me.

B

C

All right and then on to the regular items um for the six, so we have, the staff recommends approval to enter into a contract with gallagher benefit services, so um this is basically a class and comp study. The last one that was done was almost three years ago.

C

Funding for this came out of the second 2022 supplemental a few weeks ago. Should this be on consent or not.

A

Do we uh have we done this one before.

C

So we use gallagher, um for they basically help us negotiate our benefits. This is the first time, though, that we've been using them for this. We used another company um about three years ago, so it's been a while since, um since it's been done.

A

I would say yes on consent, but bear protem if you go either way on that. One.

E

I don't think it's going to fly that contract size.

B

Okay, so wrong with that, the notification.

C

So not on consent, correct um and then we have three proclamations pollinator month pride month and juneteenth.

C

um Then we have the erc mechanical equipment, upgrade approval of a contract to purchase equipment, um so this one's in not to exceed amount of just over 139. So should this be consenter now.

A

These are always tough, I would say yes, but I have no problem getting overwritten on that.

E

I don't have a problem with it being a consent, uh I'm skeptical about whether or not it'll be built.

A

Right so let's keep it on consent. For now, tim.

C

Okay and then we have the ordinance uh so second line down um cb28 approval of an ordinance authorizing the 2023 stormwater utility rate increase not on consent, uh cp29 approval of an ordinance authorizing a loan with colorado, water resources and power development authority for stormwater, also not on consent.

C

uh Cp31 approval of a bill for an ordinance authorized in iga to create arapahoe county regional council for opioid settlements.

F

Oh real, quick going back up to those those are second readings. I thought they were all 7-0 yeah they were so we just. We just haven't changed the consent uh status on our end, so those would be on consent as second readings because they were 7-0 votes yeah. I thought so.

C

B

C

So stephanie all three will be changed to yes, then, for consent.

B

The two second readings will be.

C

F

And then that one up above perfect okay, so we will have several on consent.

B

Great. Thank you about.

A

Three of those being on consent.

A

So that that's it for the sixth okay, so the sixth day, okay,.

C

So definitely front loaded with study sessions, but but the rest is relatively not like, but not huge.

A

Forego on consent. Well, if all four are in consent, then it's a really short night so um but yeah we can move to the 13th. Now.

C

Great and 13th are your interviews um stephanie. Is there any quick update on that in terms of number of applicants or anything else for council to know.

F

We do not have very many applicants, unfortunately, for this round, um so we will not need the second night for that, but um we do want to go ahead and confirm that we are planning to do these virtually.

B

A

F

C

All right so to go through them the 20th, um so the first is study session review of the 2023 operating staff, prioritize capital requests, and the next is a discussion of formal ways to engage youth. So that's something that um you'd ask council to ask for is something that stephanie and I are working on um is a study session. The next study session is first reading of an ordinance establishing a ballot question for proposed routine city charter revisions.

C

um The sustainability commission and their bylaws does require a annual report, um so it'll be a very quick presentation at the report in your packets. um Also on the 20th there's a motion for the utilities: sanitary sewer, cctv inspections.

C

um Also so there's an uh the appointment. Is that correct, stephanie? The appointment of members of the boarding commission members, who would be interviewed and selected on the 13th is that what that is.

F

C

um So that's the 20th uh 29th is citizen of the year. Is there any update on that stephanie.

F

No, not that I know of I I know madeline was working on that, so I do believe that was the date that was decided on and then we are making the 27th we're keeping this 27th 27th. Excuse me a study session or slash special meeting. If there's any agenda items that need to come forward.

B

C

Okay and then yes, yes, the 27th would be the monday. The 29th is a wednesday right and so right right now that there aren't any items that have come forward yet for the 27th set, correct, correct, great and then on to the 18th of july, so yeah so study session for the may 22 financial report.

C

Financial policy updates also on the 18th, um also a cooperative agreement between englewood, the schools and dda and then we'll just do the july 25th right now study session on the june 22nd monthly financial report. Is that a good stopping point or does it matter.

A

Yeah, I don't think we need to go about that so yeah, basically august's temperature is all budget, so.

C

A

That's my concise.

C

Update- and I have a couple council requests from monday night, um so the first um I did enter this as one for member anderson can we receive the results of the 2020 citizen satisfaction survey, as well as the results of the off leash dog parks, um so we'll be just pulling all that together to be pretty quick to answer that uh the next one is. What is the projected cost of the city for a new relationship with the museum of outdoor arts?

C

Remember russell also from member russell, how much of the biogas income has been paid back to the sewer enterprise fund? Did I miss any council requests.

A

Oh and the trash licenses did you cover that as well? Tim.

C

I did not, um I believe that had been entered as one that just hasn't been reported yet, but I can.

A

Yeah, that was the waste management waste service, yeah. Okay, all right, I believe.

C

That was already in the hopper, but okay.

A

Perfect, no, then that's it.

A

That's all I got okay, um I don't have anything else steve. Do you have anything else, a good staff, any additional question.

A

I think everyone said we're all good. If that's the case, then this meeting is now adjourned. Everybody have a great day.

B

Thank you bye. Thank you.
