A

Okay, we are recording thank.

B

You Sarah good morning everyone welcome today's uh mayor manager. Meeting uh for Wednesday August 23rd online with me is Deputy city clerk, Sarah Harkness, City attorney Tamara Niles city manager, Sean Lewis uh city clerk, Stephanie, Carlisle, Deputy city manager, Tim Dodd and mayor Pro, tem, Steve, Ward, uh Sean I'll. Let you pick us up.

C

Thanks mayor on the 28th, we have a few study sessions items. Administrative study results for charges to Enterprise funds component units looks like we've got time frames on on that one um financial report, youth, Advisory Board, you don't do you want to discuss the interview and discussion times.

B

um What I guess the way that I'm foreseen it? Are we starting at 5 30 or we start the interviews at six? Did we decide that at that I thought? Maybe we did say 5 30.

D

I think so that's what I remember too.

B

Okay, so we're going 5 30 to maybe potentially 6 30 with nine candidates, correct.

D

I believe yeah I believe we have ten I. Think okay,.

B

And so we're gonna have a round robin each of them come up and ask a question to the seven council members for the we'll, we'll ask questions to them and and and and obviously they'll provide an answer so I'm guessing that may take somebody kind of helped me out with the math here. How long are we expecting that to take.

C

B

Like 45 minutes or.

C

D

um If you were maybe five minutes per each person, that would take you about an hour I'm, not sure how much time you wanted to spend.

B

Well, I was kind of curious, like I'm, not sure if we would actually deliberate the youth Advisory Board like immediately after I, think that would happen at the end of the night. Okay,.

B

But mayor Pro Temp, do you have an issue with like actually uh discussing the youth, Advisory Board interviews at the end of the evening.

E

I, don't I also find it difficult to foresee any circumstances under which we would not appoint a member, but uh I guess that'll play out.

B

Right, okay, so yeah! So let's, let's uh put 45 minutes of interview time and then the discussion time I think we should wait until the end of the evening.

B

Well, I'm, looking at the rest of the items here, let me see presentation on potential emergency orders to operate without a city yeah.

C

We could put that under Mayor's Choice. um If you want just the selection or the appointment or I guess we wouldn't be appointing.

B

Well, no, no! We we wouldn't appoint until the following meeting so so that would go under Mayor's Choice the following week correct. So we do have to come to an agreement on placing people that evening at least half consensus of what the board may look like, and that's why I was saying that should happen at the end of the evening.

D

Do you want us to put that on Mayor's Choice the discussion about the applicants.

B

Yeah yeah: let's: let's do that so yeah, okay,.

A

uh Meet and greet at the beginning.

B

I think that makes sense just because just so they could feel at ease.

A

So beginning at 5, 30, maybe till six and then start the interview process, I.

B

Think at 5, 30 to 5, 45, 15 minute meet and greet and then start at 5 45 to 6 30 on the youth advisory boarding reviews.

A

E

I don't know about that mayor I mean if we have 10 candidates. 15 minutes for meet and greet seems woefully inadequate to.

B

Me well we're also kind of having just a roundabout, so everyone's going to be spaced apart and just meeting the candidate that to me, we could use that time as a meet and greet as well, but um yeah you're, right, I.

C

Mean go ahead: y'all are gonna. Each have one-on-one time with each candidate right.

D

C

Thought the meet and greet was just to kind of like okay everybody's. Here everybody got a snack and now we're gonna start right.

B

That's what I was thinking I was like I'm, not EX, I'm, not thinking, there's gonna, be anything uh I'm, not sure. If we really need 30 minutes for that. Steve I understand where you're coming from, but I.

B

I I'm still thinking 5 30 to 5 45 for a meet and greet, and then 5 45 to about like 6 40 or so for the interviews.

B

Are you guys, okay with that.

E

Yeah I'll defer that's fine, okay,.

B

Okay: let's, let's do that.

C

All right and then the last item is the presentation of potential emergency ordinance to operate without a city council, Quorum, okay, so I've got time frames set for that August 29th.

C

We have affordable housing task force interviews and looks like we're all set on that: okay, um September 5th resolution appointing City hearing officers, libraries card sign up monthly, signed up month: Proclamation Workforce Development month, Proclamation National Hispanic Heritage Month Constitution week, uh 2023 Quarter Two strategic Plan update motion to approve amendments to council policies, City Civic, Center and Eve City Security Services, db40 mou between Englewood police and Arapahoe County, Human, Services, child protective services, Integra IGA, with for the homelessness navigation Center.

C

Another second reading for adoption of the National Electric, Code and EMC regarding Department structure.

C

A proven ordinance to appeal customer service standards approve ordinance, approving Comcast cable, TV franchise.

C

First reading, unified development code, ordinance, Banning live dog and cat sales at retail, amending and Inglewood municipal code to reflect new Statewide minimum age for firearm purchase. Many Englewood Municipal codes reflect new state definition of serious bodily injury, IGA with Arapahoe County, accepting the Grant from Arapahoe County, open space for big slogan and first reading them in IGA with the city of Inglewood and Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners.

B

C

Do you um just want to wait till next week to assign consent and time frames no.

B

Actually, let's just go through the consent items now, so we kind of get an idea of how long of a meeting we have here.

C

B

C

Hearing officers.

B

I would say yes to that.

C

Okay uh approve amendments to council policies.

B

B

um Do we have uh do we have consensus on that when we last discussed them, I thought we did.

D

I I don't know that there was consensus on the the flash drive issue.

B

Oh, that's right. Let's put that as no yeah.

C

And then Security Services. We are um beefing that up a bit from last year or from the last one.

C

But do you want to put that.

B

On Steve, you think that's going to get pulled, I have a feeling that gets pulled.

E

uh uh I don't know I I'd, try it on consent.

B

Okay, let's add it on consent.

C

uh New Statewide age, um minimal Mage for firearm purchase. These are just State.

B

I would say yes, but feel free to disagree with me.

E

Steve, absolutely not there. We go.

C

D

That one do you, the Statewide law is now that you can't sell firearms to someone under the age of 21. Our Municipal Code says 18. um That was like the former state law and so I've included on the agenda item. What happens if we don't adopt this? It's still the Statewide law. We just can't prosecute sales from 18 to to 20 in municipal court and.

A

D

And so I, so um do you want a PowerPoint on this, or do you just want me to give that short description, because it's just a a very small change in our code, yeah.

E

I, don't think you need to do a PowerPoint. uh The issue at hand here is is more principle related than whether or not the law is good or necessary. So, okay.

D

And and on all of these items um that are updates to reflect new state laws from 2023 I've put in every single one, what happens if we don't adopt it? Because that was some questions we feel in the past. Okay,.

E

B

Anyone that's going to reflect.

C

B

Students, I would say yes to that one Steve. Do you disagree on the next one municipal or serious bodily injury.

E

uh I, don't have a problem with that.

C

And then IGA with Bravo County for accepting the 600 000 Grant I.

B

Would say no just because it's such a big project for base slogan.

C

Okay and then the IGA between the city and the county for our County Transit Mobility study.

E

C

E

I, don't think that One's Gonna Fly on cassette, but okay, if you want to try, that's fine, let's.

B

Let's try but yeah I can see it getting pulled as well.

C

All right, moving on to September 11th CIP prioritization process recommendations, interview meeting facilitators for the affordable housing task force meetings, 2024 budget public hearing.

B

C

I also was going to ask um the two of you um on the facilitators at times for like Council Retreat, we've brought you just qualifications and had you select um and I think it was uh staff. Have the idea that you could also interview them with this? One? Is that your desire.

C

Wanted to confirm we're not doing something that you don't care to do.

B

Yeah I was going to say I, don't think we've interviewed them in the past. Have we.

C

Well, we never had really this high of a profile of a task force for the police reform task force. We, you know staff interviewed and made a recommendation that was approved by Council, um so we're just since Council requested this one were just letting giving you that option, but we can do. However, you want.

B

I I would be a part of actually having a recommendation from staff but Steve any thoughts there.

E

uh You'll get no argument for me on that, but.

C

E

B

E

Contentious issue, um just in general.

B

Can I bring it up as Mayor's Choice on Monday night, my preference would be City staff to provide recommendation.

C

Yeah, it might be a good discussion for Mira's choice. We really are good either way. um We we just want to make sure that it's what you all want.

B

Okay sounds good all.

C

Right um next we have the 18th of September two study sessions. One on massage business license go ahead; Steve, sorry.

E

That was just a cough.

C

um Presentation on massage business license an update on Big, Dry, Creek project from utilities and then um moving on to regular we've got general contractor for utilities, office improvements, potholding contract for our lead, Reduction, Program, use of Broncos funds. Second, reading of title 16 code: next: did we already see.

B

His first reading, yeah it's on the fifth or sixth, whatever the Tuesday after is I.

C

Remember, reading that um amending Englewood municipal code to reflect new state name for art gallery permit um and the 2024 budget ordinance first reading, okay, moving on to the 25th, we have budget Workshop to finalize the budget. If we need it, uh don't doesn't appear we're going to um 2023, August monthly financial report and then the edda's budget approval second uh resolution for the 2024 written fee schedule. 2023 budget supplemental um this one.

C

Unless there's other things on it, this one actually is getting moved to November uh yeah, November, I'm, not sure code enforcement month indigenous people's day, Proclamation Breast Cancer, Awareness, Month Eda proposed budget approval, 2024 budget ordinances. Second reading so I see the proposed budget for Edda on twice is that is that required to meetings I.

B

Thought we were doing the late September.

C

B

We have it online September, but yeah, so it might be yeah I think you just need to verify that that date's done, which one we agreed to we'll.

C

Do that moving on to the October.

C

16Th meeting a budget, supplemental Denver, Water interconnect, agreement and September financial report on October 23rd, okay,.

B

Sounds good all right, uh I guess the one thing that we need to add Sean. Are we still taking the picture of council prior to Monday's meeting if we're starting at 5 30, we probably have to take that picture at 5 15. all.

C

Right I mean that's what yeah that's what we had. You had asked Council.

B

Know that okay, so let's, let's make a note within the agenda that we'll be meeting or let Council know that we're meeting at 5 15 for the picture. Okay,.

C

All right and I am pulling up actually I'm pulling up the email I sent um remember Russell yesterday with regard to the Council request, just to verify those and that.

C

Shoot: okay, well, I'm gonna have to go off my notes and what I moved to her? um It can Council be provided with the HDR report.

C

um Can we verify that Mike Jones, open record request was responded to regarding the jump drive.

C

um What communication has occurred between the city of Englewood and South Inglewood Sanitation District regarding proposed code changes, should the city and then a study session request, which you all did not vote on so I'm assuming that will come back, uh but the regarding an.

B

C

Board to address ethics, complaints and then should we can we be provided with a phone number for Excel when a street light is out and can that information be placed on the website and then um mayor yours was. Can we have a report on the incident described by Benjamin, Ben David, including follow-up, and any action pertaining there too? Yeah.

B

Thanks John, so Sean actually I meant to bring this up on Monday night regarding the independent board, could we get some background on what the current process is? Like a wasn't sure, if you were adding it as a, we were going to try to add it to a study session. I think it probably would be best to just find out what the current process is and then see. If there's me for an independent board.

C

Okay, if we can make that accounts request from you.

B

Cameron, did you want to say anything on that or.

D

Oh I was just going to answer the question for ethic. It depends on whether it's a board or city council.

A

D

Board at the chair of the board essentially receives a complaint and then the board investigates it and for city council it's the same. The complaint is made to city council and then city council that weighs in we did add um at mayor Pro tem Ward's request a provision regarding um at how city council would publicly sanction another council member, but.

A

D

Explode in our Council policies and I'm happy go ahead and assign that to me. If you want Sean I'm here to provide that in a council request.

B

All right anything else on: that's all I've got a perfect eight things premium.

E

Just one thing in general, um we've been having a lot of long meetings and a lot of late nights. um I think it's in everyone's best interest for us to avoid that. If we can I know, there's a lot of business for us to consider and that's why we're there in the first place. But if we need to talk about going to two nights on occasion or deferring some things, um I think that's a conversation worthy of discussion, yeah I,.

B

D

And if I could ban on that I think from a staff perspective, we are putting as much as we can now because we don't know, what's going to happen with the recall and so I'll be presenting on this at a study session. But uh if we lose a quorum, then city council can't approve things so I think that's why at least until October our agendas are are inflated.

B

Thank you, City attorney, Sean. I'm. Sorry did you want.

C

To add no I'm, sorry, my door is open and there's a meeting starting.

B

Next time, okay, all right, perfect uh anything else, uh mayor puto,.

E

B

Thank you, anything was from staff, no great Perfect, all right everyone. Well. Thank you very much for your time today. uh That concludes today's mayor manager. Meeting everyone have a great day. Thank.
