A

Oh we're recording now.

B

All right, this is the mayor manager meeting of september 8th and it's 8 37.

B

um daniel sierra isn't with us this morning, but in the room is uh linda: olson, sean lewis, uh allison, mckinney brown and jade tusket reed right. Is there anybody else? I don't see anybody else.

B

C

B

A

Yeah, I can hardly hear you I'm sorry.

C

If I speak up, can you hear me better.

A

Yeah- and I I'd still barely hear you.

C

um Okay, what about now.

B

Oh perfect, huge difference.

C

It's just flipping back to the one you couldn't hear earlier.

B

C

B

C

Mayor, do you want to go over all of the ones from time for tonight, move on.

B

Oh, let's not go over tonight.

C

B

Unless there's something that we, I need to know.

C

uh No, I don't think, there's anything special tonight so next week we don't have a meeting so moving on to september 28th, we will have the financial review. Don't.

B

We have anything on the 21st.

C

Oh sorry, I don't know. Thank you. um On september 21st we have city center redevelopment, update and uh easement agreement with colorado water conservation board for big drag, creek diversion project.

C

Contract approval for permanent land management system uh resolution for keep englewood beautiful, grant, um floodplain language adoption and 2021 public hearing on the budget.

D

B

What I'm flipping through this too fast, I think if we go back to the beginning of 21st of the 21st.

B

So there isn't any it's! It's just a city center development. That's on the study session right.

C

B

Okay, so do you just think 30 minutes for discussion, or are there some big things that are going to be coming up through this.

C

I think it's yeah 30 minute presentation, maybe 30 minutes discussion.

B

B

All right, so the rest of it is just kind of straightforward right.

C

B

C

28. moving on to the 28 um we've got the financial review, building and fire code adoption.

C

Any questions on those.

B

Sorry he's answering about daniel in text he's still trying to get his son into classroom. I told him not to worry about it, just um yeah on the building in fire code, adoption stuff, that's a presentation of those are changes.

C

Yes, I asked them to highlight um changes and then also put before you things that have come to you in the past um 12 months that are code related, so, for instance, the green building code, which has come up at. I believe, your retreat and maybe one other meeting and then also you all received um emails, and there was some correspondence about letting smaller businesses have unisex restrooms like two unisex restrooms. Instead of um gender specific.

B

C

And I think that was uh one of the downtown businesses that reached out to you about that. So.

B

D

Let me let me add to that, though um it is when we, these codes are the 2018 formal codes that almost every city adopts so they're major books and one of the books is like four or five hundred pages long. But these are not codes that we're going to be able to sit down and read on uh specifically the um updates I've been going through the updates and comparing the 2015 updates to the 2018 updates, and I'm not seeing very many changes between 2015 and 2018.

D

So I think actually, the presentation is mostly going to be about any changes between 2015 and 2018.

B

Okay, oh daniel sierra is now on um the mayor manager meeting morning. Everyone good morning.

A

B

Virtual school must be fun. uh I have a question about uh overnight. Sheltering for severe weather is that has anybody come forward with a proposal any of the churches? At this point now.

C

No, I don't believe they have, but let me double check that with our code folks.

B

Okay, because I know that spirit of hope you know in wellspring swaps, buildings and I'm my so wellspring is not planning on doing that because they have too much evening programming. But.

B

It might be that spirit of hope is willing to do that over in their new building. I don't know.

C

Yeah I'll check on that and see if any anything has come through.

C

All right, do you want to move on to the fifth sure all right october 5th? We have the presentation by the innovative housing concepts. We have that's the only thing right now on study session um on the consent. Possibly we have approval of the historic preservation commission applying for a fifteen thousand dollar grant and we have the 2021 first reading of the budget ordinance and that's it for october 5th.

B

So wait: let's go back to the 28th of september for a minute, will there be more that's going to go in there? Do you think or what? What should we move into that? We only have.

B

Or will the financial review just take enough time? Probably no, that's the august um yeah. What am I thinking.

C

Yeah, that's the short one. I think it will really focus on the building empire code, but there are some big questions I think for council on that, um depending on, if you want to move in certain directions.

B

Okay, well, we might want to look at our list of study session topics and see if there's something we want to move in.

B

Would you like me to go for now.

B

Sure sure yeah.

C

Yeah that green city sustainable practices, well, a portion of that is the green building code, not as a perhaps a mandatory code, but as an optional code um that will come up during your discussion.

B

And so how does? How does that work? Maybe that's what we need to do is bring it to us and explain: how does that even work.

C

Yeah, so um a lot of times when, when cities adopt the building and fire codes, they uh look at you know some of the there are only a couple and inglewood actually has adopted most of the international um codes that icc, the international code council comes out with, but one that we uh haven't adopted is the green building code, and so that's one that uh you know allows buildings, uh property owners building owner developers to um you know really put into place.

C

uh You know sustainable building practices um that are recommended by you know the leed certification process. Some cities do that by incentive. Some cities require it, although it's very uncommon in colorado, for green building code to be a required code for you to follow. But if it's an optional code for you to follow, um you know there are certain offsets um that you get in that code and then again some cities have opted to to uh do that. As you know, like we incentivize it like we'll you'll get.

A

C

Percentage off your permit fee, for instance,.

B

That's what I was thinking it was so we we would be setting up an incentive program.

C

Right, we would not probably be recommending jumping straight into requiring that code, but certainly um either an incentive base or just an optional code would be something to consider.

B

Yeah, okay, I I mean if we have time if we have time to put it on an agenda, I don't know what of what other of these are pressing.

B

I mean youth vaping. We could do something around that too.

B

I don't know what that really is. That would be something or tri-county would be helpful to bring in. At some point, I wonder um in your one-to-ones with your with the council members: do you want to ask them if they have any that or should we? We could do it tonight too, although it looks like it's going to be a long meeting, so I don't know if I want to do that, you can maybe ask on the 20.

B

No, it doesn't help us if we do it on the 21st.

C

Yeah we could do the we could have that discussion on the 21st right.

B

But that would mean bringing it on the 28th. That's pretty quick turnaround. Isn't it.

C

Oh good point: did you just want to bring it up tonight and just have people review the topics yeah yeah, and then that way we can talk about it or or or sharon can actually take polls during the 101s.

B

Yeah, when are you, how long have you gone sean.

C

I'm not missing any council meetings, I'm I leave um at noon on thursday and return thursday. Well, I return wednesday and we'll be back in the office on thursday. The following week.

B

Yeah, okay, so that doesn't really help either to have you do the one to ones, because you won't have it'll be too quick. Why don't we ask? um Why? Don't we ask everybody to just email in like their top choices?

B

Is that okay and we'll try and work them in and say which ones do you want to go with? Next, that's sure.

C

So I'll just tonight in the clerk's office, help me with that.

A

Yeah um certainly.

C

B

A

um Would you like the deadline to be set for um friday for them to respond.

C

B

Sure that sounds good. Okay that'll help all right. You can keep going.

C

So moving to october um 12th, we've only got one thing on the agenda right now and that's the update to the ethics policy.

C

And then the 19th of october we've got a resolution in support of a ballot measure seeking voter approval for a larger sales tax increase, so allison we did have some discussion um week before last about this one. Is this correct insofar as we thought we had already done this.

D

Okay, so one of the things about doing these ballot measures is letting everybody step through all of the steps of doing an election, and I know that stephanie hasn't been through one of these as a lead election director before so I stepped in to help her, but one of the things one.

A

Of the regular steps is.

D

That, prior to the election, the city council can pass a resolution in support of the ballot measure. It gets published the way any other resolution gets published, but it lets the voters know what it is that the city council is thinking about that particular ballot measure. So that's a common step of the election process.

C

Thank you I I wasn't the support of wasn't registering on me, um so thank you. Yeah, so you'll have all four of those before you, where you can um counsel support or not support those, and then um we've got the 2020.

B

I've done that before I'm glad you're doing this.

C

Very good: um we also have the model traffic code adoption first reading of that to round out that meeting and then on the 26th. We just have so far the financial review for september and then in november, just a couple of items slated so far.

C

We've got uh title: seven chapter: seven, public game, mutual aid, emergency response, uh boarding, commission interviews and some financial review for october.

B

A

um The clerk's off um we did want to go ahead and seek some clarification.

A

We were reached out to by communications and they're, wanting to bring frame to art, they'd like to do recognize recognition for them, as well as for the 13 people who have been recognized for the good and eaglewood campaign were hoping to do this virtually in late october um or november.

A

um Would this be something the council would be interested in.

B

Oh yeah, let's do something that celebrates for sure it's just. Can we just find a date that works well for everybody and has a little lighter schedule.

A

Yeah- and we can either put it on now or I can just look at it and get it on there for next.

B

Time you meet, why don't you look at it and think which ones might be? um They want it at a regular meeting where we do it.

C

Yeah so we've got a couple of um we've got the study session on the 26th even.

C

Or the november 9th meeting.

B

Three hours, that's the.

C

B

C

B

A

Number 16 currently has nothing on it.

D

B

Yeah, let's put it there, okay, but if we see something that comes up, if we see that we have a shorter meeting in october somewhere, let's put it in because I'd prefer to get it done.

B

Then we, when we don't know exactly what's going to be put into november.

A

Yep, um so our q would be the 5th or the 19th.

D

B

Either of them looks fine, doesn't it we have all those resolutions on the 19th? Let's do it on the 5th okay, I mean. I don't know what those resolutions are going to be like for us at all. We've, I don't we've. Never, I don't think we've ever done it before.

B

B

Sounds like someone's at a car.

A

C

I'm sitting so close to my microphone and screen.

B

I hear you breathing.

B

So I is that it are we, I think, we're kind of done. Aren't we.

C

B

Is there anything else, sean that you want to bring up like? Are there any council requests that were pending still or seems like everything got done.

C

I think the only one that is still in progress well, there are a few in progress, but a couple of them are a little bit older and taking more time. But your question about revenue. um I think we're going to try to do that after the budget, um if that's all right with you, but we actually think that might should be a study session topic as well.

B

Oh okay, okay,.

C

But I'll ask double check with maria on that, but I think that that's really one of the few outstanding council requests at this time.

A

B

Right, good, okey, dokey. Well, it's um I think. If there's nothing else I'll adjourn, then it's the time is 8 56 and the mayor manager meeting is adjourned, see y'all tonight thanks. Everyone thank.
