PUBLIC COMMENT FOLLOW-UP
Consent Calendar
The Consent Calendar is intended to allow the City Council to spend its time and energy on the important
items on a lengthy agenda. Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Anyone may request
an item on this calendar to be "pulled" off the Consent Calendar and considered separately. Agenda
items pulled from the Consent Calendar will be considered separately under Pulled Consent Items. Items
remaining on the Consent Calendar will be approved by City Council with one vote. The Consent
Calendar consists of:
● Ordinances on First Reading that are routine;
● Ordinances on Second Reading that are routine;
● Those of no perceived controversy;
● Routine administrative actions.
If the presiding officer determines that the number of items pulled from the Consent Calendar by citizens
is substantial and may impair the Council’s ability to complete the planned agenda, the presiding officer
may declare that the following process will be used to simplify consideration of the Citizen-Pulled
Consent Items:
(1) All citizen-pulled items (to be listed by number) will be considered as a group under the heading
“Consideration of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items.”
(2) At that time, each citizen wishing to speak will be given a single chance to speak about any and all
of the items that have been moved to that part of the agenda.
(3) After the citizen comments, any Councilmember may specify items from the list of Citizen-Pulled
Consent Items for Council to discuss and vote on individually. Excluding those specified items, Council
will then adopt all “Citizen-Pulled Consent Items” as a block, by a single motion, second and vote.
(4) Any Citizen-Pulled Consent Items that a Councilmember has asked to be considered individually will
then be considered using the regular process for considering discussion items.
1. Consideration and Approval of the Minutes of the July 28, 2020 Regular Council Meeting.
The purpose of this item is to approve the minutes from the July 28, 2020 Regular Council meeting.

Prior Year Reserves and Authorizing Transfers of Appropriations for 30% Design of the West Elizabeth
Enhanced Travel Corridor Project and Related Art in Public Places.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 4, 2020, appropriates $1.5 million
in funding to complete thirty percent (30%) design of the West Elizabeth Enhanced Travel Corridor

$375,000 in City Transit reserves to satisfy the City’s one-half share of the required local match at its
May 18, 2020 meeting.
The West Elizabeth travel corridor is currently the highest priority pedestrian/alternative mode area for
improvement in the City and was highlighted in City Plan and the Transit Master Plan. The City was
awarded a $750,000 Multimodal Options Fund grant (“MOF” Grant) from the North Front Range
Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) to help complete 30% design of the Project. (CDOT
manages the grant funding for NFRMPO). CSU has agreed to appropriate $375,000 to help fulfill the
grant match requirements. The City will be required to bring $375,000 in local funds to fulfill the total
match and complete the $1.5 million design.
This Project involves estimated construction costs of more than $250,000, and as such, Section 23-
304 of the City Code requires one percent of qualified appropriations to be transferred to the Cultural
Services and Facilities Fund for a contribution to the Art in Public Places (APP) program. One percent
(1%) of the total City local match, a total of $3,750, has be has been identified as the recommended
transfer from the Capital Projects Fund to the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund to meet this Code
requirement. Neither the MOF Grant nor the CSU funding is eligible to be used for art and is excluded
from the calculation.

The purpose of this item is to consider an exception to Ordinance No. 079, 2020, adopted by Council
on June 16, 2020, to allow Council to hear an appeal of a development project decision using remote
technology. The action under appeal is a Type 1 Administrative Hearing decision related to the 613
South Meldrum Street Modifications of Standards (MOD200001). A decision was rendered on the
project on July 15, 2020 by an administrative hearing officer, and an appeal was timely filed on July

Ordinance No. 079, 2020, authorizes Council and various boards and commissions to hear quasi-
judicial items but specifically excludes from that authorization decisions related to zoning/rezoning,
appeals, and additions of permitted use (APUs). The Ordinance does, however, allow Council, by
motion adopted by at least five Councilmembers, to authorize exceptions to that exclusion. In order to
authorize a remote hearing for the 613 South Meldrum Street Appeal, Council must find that such
hearing is pressing, requires prompt action, and that virtual technology will provide for sufficient public
participation and input. A suggested motion is provided at the end of this Agenda Item Summary.

1. First Reading of Ordinance No. 073 Ex-Officio the Board of Directors of General Improvement District
No. 1, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves for Downtown Parks Maintenance. (staff: Rachel Rogers,
Josh Birks; 5 minute presentation, 15 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to appropriate $175,000 in fiscal year 2020 in the General Improvement
District No. 1 (“GID”) for downtown parks maintenance. This funding will come from GID reserves,
which at the end of 2019 were about $900,000. Due to the COVID-19 impact on City priorities, we
expect lower than budgeted spending for the GID in 2020, therefore, the estimated impact of this item
is an additional $58,000 over the 2020 Budget.
The GID can support an additional $175,000 expense without reducing the current level of service for
construction and reconstruction of sidewalks, curbs, gutters and streets and/or funding for downtown
holiday lights. The City Manager recommends this appropriation and determined the funds are
available with previously unappropriated funds from the GID’s prior year reserves and will not cause
the total amount appropriated in the GID’s prior year reserves fund to exceed the current estimate of
actual and anticipated revenues to be received in that fund during this fiscal year.
