A

Okay, it started.

B

uh Perfect there we go I sleep on my side all right good morning. Everyone welcome to today's mayor's managers. Meeting for Wednesday January 11th online with me is Deputy city clerk, Sarah Harkness uh city managers, uh Sean Lewis assistant city manager, Tim Dodd, mayor Pro, Temp, Steve, Ward, uh Deputy, City attorney, uh Victoria, McDermott and city clerk, Stephanie, Carlisle, Sean I'll. Let you kick us off on the 17th thanks.

C

Mayor um on the 17th, we still have um just the one item, which is the public hearing for the Pud at 1314, West, Oxford and um I know that mayor you and I received the request for postponement yesterday or notification on the request. So Vicki. Do you want to address that.

D

Yeah absolutely thank you Sean. um So staff received a request from the applicant to postpone the public hearing that is currently set for the 17th um the rap. The reasoning that staff received was that the applicant wanted to conduct additional public Outreach under our code. um The applicant may make a request for a postponement after the commencement of the hearing.

D

um So that's in section 16-2-3-8-5.

D

um So our recommendation would be that uh to ensure transparency, the public and legal compliance that, if the applicant wants to make this request, they do so at the public hearing after it's opened.

D

um We understand that there is a number. There are a number of members from the public that will are planning on attending the 17th. So our thought would be to add to the agenda that the applicant has brought forward this request and that may be considered and that, to the extent that this would be continued to a different date, we would include that on the agenda.

D

Additionally, um since there are a number of people that have already made plans to attend um that we allow for some public comment, but that we do not close public comment to ensure that at the addition, you know if this is continued to a different date, that um we make sure that public comment can still be heard on that date, um so that the applicant isn't um the only party that is essentially having like being the last heard before Council.

B

Okay, um Steve I'll. Let you uh start off yeah.

E

So let's try to get the process straight in my head um and did I'm sorry. Did you say it mayor? Did you say you'd love to start off or you'd like me to start.

B

Off no go ahead, go ahead; Steve I'm composing. My thoughts, though.

E

um So if we open this hearing and then the applicant requests a delay, how do we handle public comment that night or do we at all.

D

Well, I'm, but since there will be a number of people there, our thought was that to allow for for some public comment again, um if we could also not do that, um but I I would imagine that members of the public would be angry if they were to have shown up, and it was continued at the request, the applicant in this way.

D

um So we want to on from a due process perspective. We can proceed in this fashion by allowing um some public comment to be heard uh as long as the public that the hearing is open um and has commands, we just would make sure that for the when it was continued to the second date, we continue to allow the public to be able to make comment, but.

E

Then we're operating outside the normal order, because the normal order, as it's prescribed in code, is that the applicant presents first.

D

That is, that would be correct.

E

Yeah I'm, not particularly comfortable with that I'm okay, with delaying the hearing um and I think this might require the consent of of the rest of council, but I, don't like part one night part another night that makes me uncomfortable.

E

um The other thing I'll point out is that if we do anticipate a delay and we're intending to publish that in our agenda, we also need to make sure that we update all the socials and the website and everything that we've already sent out. Regarding this public hearing.

B

Yeah thanks for Steve I I have similar concerns. I was thinking about it. In terms of you know, members of council have no idea about. You know the they haven't seen a presentation on this, so we're not sure exactly what this PDD is about in a sense they're asking for a postponement.

B

So if they're, if they are to make any type of modifications and I, know that they're Within, they could only make certain modifications in order for it not to go back to pnz um and and follow the schedule, but if they were, if there's public comment about items that may change between now and when the PED opens again, I I have an issue with that aspect of it, um but I do think that this is probably something that we probably should discuss.

B

Monday see if people want to uh members of council want to move forward with public comment, um but I do understand what you're asking at least for the 17th um Deputy City attorney. Okay,.

D

Thank you and I mean in terms of responding to the applicant um staff, has not done that yet, yet we would be doing that today and we can let them know that you know this is what the code requires. This is how this would be the procedure to go about, making that request um and verify with the applicant that they still want to proceed uh in that fashion.

B

And I guess just a follow-up: have they do they have another date in mind about the problem.

D

Not not to my knowledge, no that hasn't been convened. um All I know is that the request is made to just conduct additional public Outreach. Okay,.

E

And then the other question I have is how long the p z approval lasts, absent, Council, hearing.

D

I bear with me on that. um Let me double check that I I I have to double check.

C

Okay well she's. Looking that up, um I would just point out that I agree with the direction to you know make a note on the agenda that the applicant has requested. However, you know kind of, conversely, to um I I think that that will give people that are maybe four and against the impression that oh well, this is going to be postponed.

C

So if we did continue like if anybody was able to present at the at the public hearing, I think that would that would also make them angry because they didn't come thinking, it was going to be postponed, so we're a little bit damned if we do damned. If we don't on this, one I think.

C

Yeah I mean people will be mad. That shows up that it will be postponed and people will not show up and would be mad. If we did let some people speak so.

B

Yeah but again, those that wish to speak could still do it during whenever this gets rescheduled if it gets rescheduled. So right, yeah I understand where you're coming from Sean foreign any type of wording in there, because yeah I guess I'm uncomfortable having public comment that night, but other members of council may be comfortable so.

C

Yeah go ahead, no.

B

No go ahead. I.

C

Was gonna, say I think one of my fears is that the council actually says no we're not going to put we're not going to Grant the postponement and then we proceed and then there has been an expectation set that it was going to be so I don't know.

B

Can we talk about that? We some members of council, can reject the reason for postponement.

C

And maybe that's unlikely I just I, don't know where council is going to land.

B

On yeah, exactly.

E

I'm just trying.

B

E

I think your perspective makes sense, Sean just uh post this as a regular meeting. Without any note about a postponement. If a postponement occurs, it occurs within the process, regardless of whether we knew the likelihood of it occurring or not. We followed the appropriate process and that's where we stand.

D

And and two points, um first with respect to the amount of days between the Planning and Zoning commission and the council action, our code doesn't speak to that. Just speaks between about the amount of days between the neighborhood meeting and planning and zoning commission action and that's 180 days and then um so I think we would there's not a timing issue there, but with respect to continuing the hearing, that is that Council discussion? That's not it should the applicant make that request. It's still a council discretion.

D

C

And Steve I I, I yeah I, appreciate you hearing what I'm saying but I'm going to play. My own doubles advocate here. I also think people will be very upset if we knew there was a request to postpone and we didn't. Let them know that that was a possibility. So I I mean I, don't know what the public would be more upset upset about.

C

I mean I liked. The idea of the posting excuse me posting something about the postponement, but yeah I don't know other thoughts on that mayor, I.

B

For me, I would I understand when mayor protem is coming from. My preference would be to alert the public that the applicant has requested a postponement.

E

And I'm: okay with that, as long as we make it clear in any notification. uh First of all, we need to unify our notices to make sure that everything that the city has put out and will put out has the same messaging. So, to the extent that anything that's already out needs to be updated, we should do that.

E

um Secondly, we need to make it clear that a postponement is an option. It's not guaranteed, so the applicant has requested it, but there's a process that we have to go through to determine if we're going to Grant it or not.

B

Sounds good yeah I agree with that.

C

All right anything else for the 17th.

B

No, nothing else not for me.

C

um Moving on to January 21st, we have um city council retreat and January 23rd land use, discussion and typology follow-up.

C

um A police discussion on the 23rd large utility designation presentation, uh five phase, two Charter review project um resolution, appointing members to various boards and committees and approval uh bill for an ordinance authorizing an IGA with Sheridan for sustainability services looks like excuse me: we've got a couple of outstanding consents. Do you want to go out and do those mayor.

B

Which was that? It's not just the last one right? Oh.

C

But the resolution well, the resolution could be in consent, agenda, I, guess but I don't think we'd usually do doing.

B

uh Normally we do oh okay, yeah, so I would say yes to both okay.

C

All right, I think that's that meeting's good. Moving on to February 6th, we have the November financial report, 2023 redistricting resolution of support for ground lease agreement between McClellan and Integrity Motors.

C

um Water efficiency plan resolution bulk flu, bulk flute, Fuel and fluid from Synergy Petroleum resolution uh 13 units from John Elway uh 2023 budget, supplemental motion to approve revision revisions to City of Inglewood Charter, as approved by voters, uh 20 2023, all Health Network, contract for mental health, co-responders Maui trust fund purchase recommendations and an ordinance amending code regarding quarterly billing cycles for utility Billings utility code updates.

C

Oh we're not done um approvement ordinance of the municipal code restitution of victims, ordinance violations; um the let's see public Offense Code to mirror changes in law to ensure compliance, short-term rental, ordinance revisions, um an ordinance regarding City sales and use tax. First reading of an annual agreement with Arapahoe County to receive cdbg dollars prove a bill regarding.

C

Okay, I, don't know where we're at oh there. We are a bill for an ordinance to repeal Municipal codes, title 12, cable standards and then an ordinance approving Comcast, cable, franchise agreement and first reading of Sam PUD. That will change and then the next one will change as well.

C

All right. That's the end of that long agenda.

C

um Does council have well mayor mayor, Pro tem have any interest in trying to restore any of these items.

C

You know we're already at Wednesday that Sarah how many of those items are already in the queue like already in my MyQ and I Compass I'm, just wondering if there, if Council, would like to relieve your your workload by taking some of these items on the 17th. If, in fact that postponement does occur, um I mean, if it doesn't occur, they can still be pushed back, but I'm.

C

You know we have really rearranged our schedule and I did make sure that Community Development staff, let the applicant for the Pud, know that this is going to be quite disruptive to council's agenda.

A

Yeah so it looks like for the sixth: um we have the 2023 all Health Network, that one looks pretty close to being ready to go. Valley Trust, Fund, purchase, recommendations, um I think, let's see, CBO CB4 um first reading looks ready, I think there's one from the study session.

A

Let's see that we could push up, um cb5 looks ready to go for the IGA for sustainability with Sheridan, so we could potentially move a few items to the 17th.

A

B

I guess the thinking there would be if we're able to move some things on to the 17th. If we do move forward with the Pud, we would just table those items until you know the 23rd or the or the 6th, depending on where we have them today. Correct.

C

Correct I mean the reason February 6 is so long is because of this move. We've made for the public hearing.

C

You know we really shifted things around and if they do have the public hearing at a date to be determined, you know that's going to disrupt that meeting. We're going to probably try to clear off that schedule too so I'm, just thinking of compression of items and really long nights. If we don't maybe make some adjustments on this, but I.

B

Am fine with that um yeah I am fine with making that move mayor Pro tem. Do you have an issue with that.

E

uh I do I'm just thinking about process here, so we're coming into the meeting on the 17th. We don't know if the applicant is going to ask us to table it or not. We can't find out officially until we call the item, and yet we still have all these other items packed onto our agenda that we typically handle before we handle a public meeting so which is it? Do we table them or do we leave them off the agenda?

E

Do we hold them until after we make a determination and then conduct the public hearing and then table them at the end of the night? I? Just don't like it? It's messy I.

C

Mean I think that the mayor does have the discretion during the meeting to say you know we're moving all of these other items. You know to another meeting, so he can just do that verbally and that's within his powers.

E

I'm of the opinion that if those items are on our agenda, they need to be tabled by official action of counsel.

B

How many items were we talking about um Sarah.

A

Looks like we have one which would be on consent. Actually, two we could do the resolution also I assume um so two that would be on consent, and then, let's see this, these are also on consent.

A

um All Health, Network, Mali trust fund.

A

um These are all approved. We could do these as well um Council Bill. These are all second readings. um Not all of them are in consent. This one is the only one. That's not, it appears um yeah I think that's all so a few second readings quite a bit on consent, though almost everything yeah.

B

Actually so I'm thinking about it actually I would prefer to keep it as is, and the reason for it is that I have I want members of cancer to go in this thinking that the PED is going to happen. That PUD document is going to be pretty long, so I'd rather have them focus on that than these other items. So I think we just keep it, as is for the moment, and just you know just based on the current schedule.

C

Sounds good to me, the um I I do think we should look up, though I mean if we're following Robert's Rules there's no such thing as tabling something that has emotion hasn't been made on. So you know you can't table something before it's been introduced, um but maybe we should look that up and double check out. Okay, all right.

C

Moving on to um the February 11th meeting, we've got a city council, Eda board Workshop um that will be at where cities, uh let's see I, guess that will be it here at the Civic Center and then on the 27th. We have uh information Direction on McClellan, Reservoir, Foundation properties, um administrative study, results for charges to the Enterprise funds and component units and uh June January monthly financial report, March 6th.

C

um We have boarding commission, member appointment, recognition, March 27th February financial report and March 27th Sixth and final presentation of Charter review.

C

B

Questions and no questions for me.

B

Okay, well, I guess: the only thing is that we still don't have anything for the 20th of February or the 21st.

B

Which will change but just and and that just an FYI uh mayor, brutab I'm gonna be out that day, so um just giving you six weeks notice here, got it, but I haven't I. Have no further questions, though.

C

Great I don't have any any Council requests that came up um during the last meeting. I, don't believe: okay,.

B

All right, uh I, nothing, yeah, nothing came from the abortion Commission meeting. Anything from you, mayor, Pro, Tem,.

E

I'm good, thank you.

B

Anything else from staff.

C

B

All right, everyone else, chime in all right. So that concludes today's mayor managers. Meeting everyone have a great day. You, too thanks.

D

So much everyone.
