[9:53] Thank you. Um, good evening,
[9:55] Mayor Mayor Pro Tem and members
[9:56] of the council. Um, I
[9:57] m excited
[10:00] tonight for you to meet our 12,
[10:00] uh, summer growing grads
[10:02] interns, um, but before I have
[10:03] them introduce themselves, I
[10:05] like to just, um, speak a
[10:06] little bit about the program
[10:08] and the process that they went
[10:09] to or went through, um, so this
[10:12] all started back in FEBRUARY,
[10:14] um, all of these interns
[10:16] attended our summer job launch,
[10:16] um, that
[10:17] s the first step and
[10:18] first requirement to be
[10:19] eligible to apply for one of
[10:21] our internships. So on On this
[10:22] day they spent the day learning
[10:24] on how to build a resume and
[10:25] they practice mock interviewing
[10:26] to prepare them, um, to
[10:29] interview and apply for our uh
[10:30] summer internship positions and
[10:32] at the summer job launch we had
[10:35] a record attendance of 100
[10:36] students from 27j that
[10:37] participated in the all-day
[10:40] event. Of those 100 attendees,
[10:42] we had over 60 applicants apply
[10:44] for our 12 internship positions
[10:45] and these 12 interns behind me
[10:48] were the ones that were chosen,
[10:48] um, so we
[10:49] re very thankful for
[10:50] them, um, to be spending their
[10:52] summer. With us. Um, so they
[10:54] each are going to be interning
[10:55] in different departments. Some
[10:57] departments have taken on two
[10:58] interns this summer, um, and as
[11:00] part of our growing grad summer
[11:03] internship program, they must
[11:06] work 150 hours, um, maximum,
[11:07] and they complete weekly
[11:08] professional development
[11:09] courses. So today, they spent
[11:11] time learning about their
[11:13] Clifton strengths, um, and
[11:13] they
[11:14] ll continue to learn other
[11:16] things to help them in their
[11:17] soft skills and preparing them
[11:19] to enter the workforce after
[11:20] their time with us, um, In
[11:21] addition, we
[11:22] re thankful to all
[11:23] their supervisors who are
[11:24] hosting them this summer,
[11:26] because this is something that
[11:27] they voluntary voluntarily take
[11:28] on, um, and so it
[11:29] s a big
[11:32] benefit for us in this program,
[11:33] because they have mentorship
[11:35] and guidance to offer our
[11:37] interns, um, and give them the
[11:38] career exploration that they
[11:40] might not know they were um
[11:42] initially interested in, and as
[11:43] well as provides them some
[11:44] extra set of hands to help them
[11:46] with their projects throughout
[11:48] the summer. Um, so with that,
[11:50] m going to let them.

[17:55] mayor of the city of Brighton,
[17:58] on behalf of City council do
[18:01] hereby proclaim JUNE 25th as
[18:03] lgbtq plus Pride Month. I call
[18:05] upon the people of City of
[18:07] Brighton to recognize the
[18:09] achievements of the lgbtq plus
[18:11] community and to celebrate the
[18:12] great diversity of the
[18:14] community. Aided the 17th day
[18:27] of JUNE 2025. Thank you. MAY
[18:29] protem Padilla and council
[18:29] member today we
[18:30] ll go down and
[18:49] accept that. Turn this way. The
[19:04] first Feel free to speak. I
[19:04] ve
[19:09] got to hold it. What am I doing
[19:14] wrong? Hello? It should be on.
[19:16] And we decided to let me speak
[19:19] first before MR. Padilla.
[19:20] Ladies first, it
[19:20] s, it
[19:21] s my
[19:24] honor to be a part of this, uh,
[19:26] proclamation, um, I
[19:27] m not great
[19:28] with words on the fly, you guys
[19:32] all know that, but I, uh, I
[19:34] wanted to say that I, you know,
[19:38] I do extend my gratitude to the
[19:40] lgbtq, uh, community as well as
[19:43] the allies and anybody that has
[19:45] ever um been a part of helping
[19:51] with. Acknowledgement and being
[19:52] seen and being accepted just
[19:54] like anybody else, and I
[19:54] ll
[19:57] leave it at that, uh, love is
[20:06] love, so. Thank you. Pride is
[20:09] an opportunity for us to look
[20:10] at our uniqueness and an
[20:11] opportunity to look at our
[20:13] sameness. Uh, the celebration
[20:14] of pride over the course of
[20:15] this month can be an expression
[20:17] of joy. It can be an expression
[20:19] of anger, it can be an
[20:21] expression of grief, but really
[20:24] it is an acknowledgment of our
[20:26] right to be, even when we are
[20:28] not part of the majority and we
[20:30] are part of something that
[20:32] distinct and different.
[20:33] Celebrating pride for many
[20:35] people in our community means
[20:37] stepping out of their comfort
[20:38] zone and acknowledging and
[20:40] learning something new about
[20:41] the people that they already
[20:45] know. Those of us in the
[20:46] community have a chance also to
[20:48] turn out and and celebrate all
[20:52] of our allies. And perhaps
[20:53] lament those allies or those
[20:55] people who are less accepting
[20:56] than our allies, but to
[20:57] appreciate the allies all the
[21:00] more. We don
[21:01] t need to
[21:04] understand, to accept. And what
[21:04] we
[21:05] ve learned over many years
[21:07] is that it is harder to hate us
[21:11] when you know us. So, on behalf
[21:14] of our, our residents, our
[21:16] employees, all of their
[21:17] families, and, and I
[21:18] ll let
[21:20] Josh Zuckerbam speak as well.
[21:22] Josh and I accept this
[21:23] celebration of Brighton
[21:24] growth and diversity. This is a
[21:25] different place than it was

[25:58] Bruce Shaefer with Run For Life
[26:00] as well, so ok, come a few
[26:08] words. Um, feel free to say a
[26:09] few words and then we can get a
[26:10] group photo. I
[26:10] ll try to keep
[26:12] it to a few words. I used to be
[26:14] an attorney, so it
[26:16] s hard. Um.
[26:16] My name
[26:18] s Bruce Shaeffer. This
[26:21] is Gabriel Valeska, were two of
[26:23] the regular walkers on Sundays,
[26:25] uh, to raise awareness for the
[26:26] hostages, as you mentioned, and
[26:29] I just want to say this is so
[26:31] obvious from the preceding
[26:32] proclamation as well as this
[26:35] one, that this is a courageous
[26:35] council. You can
[26:37] t do it
[26:39] without the support of a
[26:41] courageous community, a
[26:44] beautiful diverse community and
[26:44] we
[26:45] re just so grateful for this
[26:48] uh Proclamation and have so
[26:49] much appreciation for it. It
[26:51] important, it
[26:52] s important that
[26:54] other uh communities across the
[26:58] country, uh, do, do uh similar
[27:00] proclamations, um, it was a
[27:02] horrible attack two weeks ago
[27:05] on JUNE 1st, uh,, 2 of my
[27:07] immediate family members were
[27:09] uh severely burned and uh and
[27:10] thankfully are about where they
[27:12] should be in the recovery
[27:14] process and we do have two who
[27:16] are still in the hospital, but.
[27:19] An attack on one is an attack
[27:21] on on all and uh I deliberately
[27:24] wore this. His t-shirt His
[27:30] t-shirt and This t-shirt says
[27:32] in Hebrew Kulanu haufi, which
[27:37] means we are all hostages which
[27:39] easily translates into when one
[27:40] of us is attacked in a
[27:42] community for being a member of
[27:44] a, a group or a class or an
[27:46] ethnicity or religion or
[27:47] whatever it is, we
[27:48] re really
[27:50] all attacked and we, uh, it
[27:52] just beautiful that this
[27:55] community is standing up to
[27:57] stand against um hatred in the
[27:59] form of anti-Semitism, ha. In
[28:01] the form of uh being uh you
[28:04] know, towards the glbtq
[28:04] community and I
[28:05] m just so
[28:06] thankful to each and every one
[28:13] of you. I don
[28:14] t have uh too
[28:16] much to add. I just wanna, uh,
[28:17] thank you as well and just say
[28:18] that, you know, looking around
[28:20] the room, we
[28:20] re all just
[28:23] Americans and uh. We all
[28:25] identify with the various
[28:29] groups, uh, religious or ethnic
[28:31] or um sexual orientation or
[28:32] otherwise, and we all have a
[28:33] right to exist without being
[28:35] targeted for being members of
[28:36] that group and without being
[28:38] targeted with violence, we have
[28:41] a right to speak our mind and
[28:44] to be able to agree and
[28:45] disagree civilly. Um, those are
[28:46] American values, and I
[28:48] appreciate the city of Brighton
[28:49] taking this on. Thank you so
[28:56] much. Well, hello again. I was
[28:58] up here not that long ago. Uh,
[28:59] Josh Unckelbaum, Adams County,

[31:40] State your name for the record,
[31:40] you
[31:41] ve got 3 minutes to see all
[31:43] of you guys up here as well. A
[31:44] lot is happening in our world
[31:45] and I know it
[31:46] s times it seems
[31:48] as though everything is out of
[31:50] control, but in reality, things
[31:54] are coming loose to expose to
[31:55] expose things and so that we
[31:57] can receive freedom. I
[31:57] m Tom
[31:59] Lampo. GOD is in control, and
[32:01] m here to lift up writing in
[32:02] prayer. So please join me in
[32:04] prayer. Heavenly Father, in
[32:04] Jesus
[32:05] name, we invite you here
[32:07] to Brighton to be our GOD.
[32:07] There
[32:08] s nothing that surprises
[32:10] you. You created the beginning
[32:11] and you create, and you, I
[32:13] sorry, and you could see far
[32:15] off into the future. Your hand
[32:16] is moved through the the
[32:18] entries to bring us to this
[32:19] very moment in time. And
[32:20] because you are who you are, we
[32:22] give you all the praise, glory
[32:24] and honor. In Revelation 4:11,
[32:26] it states, you are worthy, o
[32:28] Lord our GOD, to receive glory
[32:30] and honor and power, for you
[32:32] created all things, and they
[32:32] exist because you created what
[32:36] you pleased. It pleased you to
[32:37] create us and to put us and to
[32:39] put us here at this time. Guide
[32:41] us in our lives and let us
[32:42] never forget to extend the
[32:43] mercy you have shown us to
[32:45] those we come in contact with.
[32:47] Father, I lift up to you all
[32:50] those that call Brighton home.
[32:52] We all created by you, and we
[32:53] have many influences that have
[32:54] come into our lives throughout
[32:57] our years. We have formed
[32:58] different differing opinions to
[32:59] every situation. We
[33:00] re all
[33:02] aware of the conflicts here in
[33:03] our nation as well as around
[33:05] the world. All of us have been
[33:06] affected. Lives have been
[33:08] shattered, and lives have been
[33:10] lost. We all want peace, but we
[33:10] can
[33:12] t decide how to achieve it.
[33:14] We easily grow weary with the
[33:15] calamity that surrounds us.
[33:17] Comfort those that have been
[33:19] directly affected by the recent
[33:20] tragedies bring peace to them
[33:23] and those around them. There is
[33:25] good advice in our lives found
[33:27] in First Chronicles 16:11 as it
[33:29] states, seek the Lord and His
[33:31] strength. Seek His presence
[33:33] continually. Give us your
[33:34] strength and give us your
[33:36] presence. We need to be
[33:37] surrounded by you so you can
[33:39] have the influence in our lives.
[33:41] We need to do better to those
[33:42] around us. As you look at us,
[33:44] you are pleased with your
[33:46] creation. One minute. Help us
[33:47] to make decisions that please
[33:48] you and bring peace to our
[33:50] hurting world. You are a GOD,
[33:52] and we are your people. In
[33:52] Jesus
[33:54] name we pray. Amen.
[33:55] Thank you guys. Have a nice
[33:58] night. Thank you, Tom. And just
[33:59] a firmor their city clerk,
[34:01] nobody else signed up to speak.
[34:04] All right, thank you. Moving
[34:07] ahead, going to public hearings,
[34:08] item 6a, resolution of the city
[34:11] council, City of Brighton,
[34:12] Colorado amending certain
[34:15] accounts in the general fund,
[34:18] lodging tax fund, and water
[34:20] fund and appropriating money
[34:25] for expenditures in the amount
[34:29] of $1,306,00603. To support
[34:32] awarded grants. Additional
[34:33] small business grants and water
[34:38] payments. So, to open up. Open
[34:40] up the public hearing. Ask of
[34:42] our city clerk will verify all
[34:43] the necessary postings and
[34:45] publications were done. Yes,
[34:47] Your Honor, the notice of
[34:48] public hearing was published in
[34:51] the Brighton Standard blade on
[34:54] MAY 29, 2025. Thank you. Um, I
[34:56] doubt anybody on council has
[34:57] any ex parte communication
[34:59] regarding this. This is pretty
[35:01] cut and dry items, so we
[35:01] ll go
[35:04] on to having our city manager.
[35:05] Introduce the staff that
[35:06] ll
[35:06] present. Thank you, Mayor,
[35:08] presenting this item is our
[35:09] budget and performance manager,
[35:12] Katherine Mortenson. Welcome,
[35:14] Katherine. Good evening. So I
[35:16] here with our 2nd Amendment to
[35:20] the 2025 budget tonight. Um,
[35:22] you have all seen this before,
[35:23] but again, just a quick
[35:24] reminder, we do these budget
[35:26] amendments when what we have
[35:27] already appropriated in the
[35:29] budget is not enough to cover
[35:31] things that came up
[35:32] unexpectedly. The few things we
[35:33] have tonight are a few
[35:34] additional grant awards that
[35:34] we
[35:37] ve received. An increase to
[35:38] our 2025 small business grant
[35:40] funds and an increase in water
[35:41] rates that are paid by the
[35:44] Water Enterprise fund. Diving
[35:46] in just a little bit, there are
[35:48] 3 grants that are being added,
[35:49] that are having appropriation
[35:50] added in the amendment before
[35:53] you tonight. One is for Dola.
[35:53] These are actually two separate
[35:56] grants that we got from them to
[35:58] adjust our housing needs plan,
[35:59] uh, for our community
[36:01] development department, that
[36:04] about $95,000. Additionally,
[36:04] there
[36:05] s the 2025 scfd grant.
[36:06] This is a grant that we receive
[36:08] every year. We didn
[36:08] t know the
[36:09] amount until we actually got
[36:11] the award, which was after the
[36:12] budget was adopted. And then
[36:14] the third one there is a cd.
[36:16] Phd grant for emerging
[36:18] contaminants that is going to
[36:18] our utilities department and
[36:22] our water fund. In total,
[36:22] that
[36:24] s about 373,000 added for
[36:26] those additional grant awards.
[36:28] The next item is our small
[36:29] business grant. This is a
[36:30] program that we do each year
[36:31] with our lodging tax dollars.
[36:33] This is run through our
[36:34] economic development department.
[36:37] As we talked about last time,
[36:39] we were talking about the
[36:41] lodging tax fund when our city
[36:43] attorney was presenting the
[36:44] updates to that resolution. We
[36:45] have some additional fund
[36:47] balance in there, and you
[36:48] requested that our departments
[36:49] are the ones who get to decide
[36:51] how that is used in accordance
[36:53] to that lodging tax ordinance.
[36:55] So using some of that fund
[36:56] balance, we are proposing
[36:57] tonight that there
[36:58] s a cash
[36:59] transfer out of that lodging
[37:00] tax fund that will come into
[37:03] the general fund as revenue,
[37:03] and that
[37:04] s $100,000 which
[37:06] allows us to spend that
[37:07] $100,000 out of the general
[37:09] fund, where the economic
[37:10] development department will go
[37:11] to people who are on their wait
[37:13] list for this year
[37:13] s grants and
[37:15] give out just an additional
[37:16] 100,000 in that same grant
[37:17] program that they typically run.
[37:20] And the last item here is some
[37:21] additional water payments each
[37:23] year. We pay the City of
[37:25] Thornton for water that we use
[37:28] that they provide for us. They
[37:28] had a higher percentage
[37:30] increase this year than we were
[37:31] anticipating. We got
[37:33] notification of that just a few
[37:35] weeks after the budget was
[37:35] adopted, so projections are
[37:36] looking like we
[37:36] re going to
[37:38] spend a little over 700,000
[37:40] more than we had budgeted, and
[37:41] that is being added in this
[37:44] amendment here tonight. All in
[37:47] all, this adds about $1.3
[37:48] million to the 2025 budget and
[37:51] brings our total city budget to
[37:54] 312 million for 2025. And with
[37:55] that, I will turn it back over
[37:58] to you, Mayor. All right, I
[37:59] mean, obviously I don
[37:59] t have to
[38:01] ask the applicant if there
[38:02] anything to add because you
[38:03] re
[38:05] the applicant. So I will ask if,
[38:06] well, if, if there
[38:07] s anybody
[38:09] that wants to speak on this,
[38:09] you
[38:10] re welcome to do that.
[38:10] There
[38:10] s sign up sheets in the
[38:11] back. You
[38:12] ll have 3 minutes if
[38:13] you do, but I, I don
[38:13] t have
[38:16] anybody send it to speak, so
[38:18] MADAM City clerk, anybody sign
[38:19] it to speak digitally on this
[38:24] one. No, Your Honor, ok. All
[38:26] right. Questions from counsel.
[38:28] If I see none. Oh, there
[38:28] s one.
[38:30] Mayor Protem. Thank you. I just
[38:32] wanted to check and confirm one
[38:34] thing on the lodging tax
[38:37] allocations into the general
[38:40] fund that will specifically be
[38:40] directed to economic
[38:41] development. So it
[38:42] s not that
[38:44] the city will be directly
[38:45] responsible for any grants that
[38:47] would be through the regular
[38:48] grant process will go through
[38:49] the economic development
[38:51] corporation. Ok, excellent. I
[38:52] think that that was the thing I
[38:53] just wanted to make sure is
[38:53] that we hadn
[38:54] t created a new
[38:55] grant program for the city
[38:56] itself. No, it
[38:56] s the same one
[38:57] that they
[38:58] re doing. It
[38:58] s just
[39:00] an additional amount. Ok, thank
[39:03] you. Great to clarify that.
[39:03] There
[39:04] s no other questions or
[39:06] comment, I will close the
[39:08] public hearing and this item is
[39:09] before council for
[39:14] consideration. He put them
[39:16] Thank you. Um, I, I just wanted
[39:18] to add to that that I
[39:20] incredibly happy with the fact
[39:23] that the city has allocated
[39:26] more than $250,000 to grant
[39:27] money for assisting small
[39:29] businesses in the, the
[39:30] community, a tremendous amount
[39:32] of that investment in our, our
[39:33] downtown businesses. I
[39:35] appreciate that very much. So
[39:36] this is item aa which I now
[39:41] move. 6. I think 6a which I now
[39:43] move. All right, and then
[39:44] council member Tadeo. Thank you,
[39:44] MAY. I
[39:46] m happy to second that
[39:49] 1st and 2nd to move item 6a
[39:50] forward. There
[39:51] s no other
[39:56] discussion. Rocalbo. Motion
[39:58] passes 8 to 0. Thank you. All
[40:06] right. Moving ahead. Now it
[40:08] item 8a and ordinance of the
[40:09] city council, the City of
[40:12] Brighton, Colorado, Amending
[40:13] certain articles of the land
[40:16] use and development Code and
[40:18] the municipal code relating to
[40:20] accessory dwelling units and
[40:20] manufactured homes. City
[40:22] manager Martinez. Thank you,
[40:24] Mayor. As mentioned, this is a
[40:26] final reading. However, there
[40:29] are some changes to the uh
[40:30] presentation that you heard
[40:32] from what you heard last
[40:34] meeting to this meeting. So our
[40:35] affordable housing coordinator,
[40:36] Sean Wyman is here tonight to
[40:38] inform you of those changes
[40:39] prior to the final vote, and I
[40:40] will turn it over to Sean.
[40:41] Thank you. Good evening
[40:45] everyone. Yeah, this item was
[40:46] pulled from consent agenda so
[40:48] that the uh the ordinance could
[40:50] have uh, have two corrections
[40:53] made to it. Uh, this, uh,
[40:55] ordinance was regarding the uh
[40:58] primarily uh changes dealing
[40:58] with adu
[40:59] s regulations that
[41:00] went to a first reading on MAY
[41:04] 20th. Uh, those amendments
[41:05] included several definition
[41:08] additions and revisions, and as
[41:09] usual, the amendments went
[41:10] through the process, uh, my
[41:12] approval by the Planning
[41:14] commission considering that the
[41:17] criteria met, uh, met the ludc
[41:19] Land Use Development Code uh
[41:21] requirements and uh those uh
[41:23] criteria were also presented to
[41:27] city council on MAY 20th. The
[41:29] two changes are first. That it
[41:31] was made clear that the
[41:32] definition of affordable
[41:34] housing was meant to replace
[41:36] the current definition of
[41:37] housing, affordable. We didn
[41:39] want to assume that, uh, that
[41:42] was a given and so we made the
[41:43] ordinance specific to uh to
[41:45] make sure that that occurred.
[41:47] And secondly, a finding section
[41:48] was added to the ordinance that
[41:50] outlines how those amendments
[41:52] did meet the criteria that are
[41:54] included in, in the ludc
[41:56] process. Uh, so there were no
[41:58] changes to the definitions or
[41:58] to the amendment criteria that
[42:00] you. Reviewed and that was
[42:03] voted on at first reading.
[42:07] Thank you. Well, if there
[42:07] s no
[42:08] question, we
[42:09] ll go on to
[42:12] motions, Mayor Protem. I will
[42:14] simply point out that I,
[42:14] there
[42:14] s a relative first here,
[42:18] I had to go and look up what
[42:18] Scrivener Corrections were. So
[42:20] there was a word in the
[42:21] presentation that I didn
[42:22] t know,
[42:24] uh, which, uh, It was kind of
[42:25] fun. You learn something new
[42:27] every clerical or a
[42:28] typographical mistake, but I
[42:30] knew that there was a better
[42:33] way to say that. Um, so, uh,
[42:34] now I
[42:36] ll move item aa. Very
[42:37] good. And then council member
[42:39] Fiddler. Thank you, Mayor. I
[42:39] ll
[42:40] say it. There
[42:41] s a proper 1st
[42:44] and 2nd to move item 8a, and
[42:44] there
[42:45] s nothing else to discuss.
[42:53] Roll call vote. Motion passes 8
[42:59] to 0. Thank you. Next, item 9a,
[43:01] a resolution of the city
[43:03] council of the city of Brighton,
[43:04] Colorado appointing
[43:05] representatives and alternative
[43:07] or alternates of the city
[43:08] council to certain boards and
[43:09] commissions, and with that,
[43:10] we
[43:12] ll go to City Attorney
[43:13] Calderon. Thank you, Mayor
[43:16] Mayor Pram, um, as you recall,
[43:18] we have a vacancy on the
[43:20] council which has left 2
[43:24] vacancies, uh, in the South
[43:26] Adams Water County. Adams
[43:27] County Water Quality
[43:30] Association, sorry, and um an
[43:32] alternate position for the Loch
[43:34] Buoye sewer board. We also
[43:36] appointed former council member
[43:38] Clint Blackhurst 2 years ago to
[43:41] the Metro Water Recovery Board.
[43:42] That appointment ends JUNE 30th,
[43:44] so that requires a
[43:47] reappointment. So this
[43:48] resolution will reappoint Clint
[43:50] Blackhurst to the Metro Water
[43:52] Recovery Board, and it will
[43:54] appoint a Mayor Pro Tem Peter
[43:56] Padilla to the two. Vacancies
[43:57] that we have the alternate on
[44:00] the lock sewer board and the,
[44:01] um, Adams County Water Quality
[44:05] Association. With that? And yes,
[44:08] he agreed. We, we didn
[44:08] t have
[44:08] the strong arm. It
[44:08] s, it
[44:09] s all
[44:11] good. If there
[44:12] s no questions,
[44:12] we
[44:14] ll go on to motions, council
[44:18] member Fiddler. Thank you, MAY.
[44:22] I move 9a for approval. And
[44:25] then uh council member Snyder.
[44:28] ll 290 as long as the mere
[44:31] protem is ok with the job.
[44:32] We
[44:34] ll see when he votes. Ok, if
[44:34] there
[44:35] s no other questions,
[44:41] roll call vote. Motion passes 8
[44:43] to 0. I kind of had a feeling
[44:47] that would happen. Thank you
[44:48] for your willingness to serve
[44:50] and also if uh Clint
[44:50] listening, thank you to him as
[44:55] well. Next is item 9b. A
[44:56] resolution of, of the city
[44:59] council, the city of Brighton,
[45:01] Colorado, appointing a site
[45:04] lease agreement with t-Mobile
[45:07] West llc for a portion of
[45:10] city-owned real property and
[45:12] improvements located at 19,150
[45:15] East 160th Avenue, Brighton,
[45:17] Colorado, 80601 and authorizing
[45:19] the city manager to execute,
[45:20] said lease agreement. City
[45:22] manager Martinez. Thank MAY are
[45:24] presenting this next item is
[45:24] our director of utilities,
[45:27] Scott Olson. Good evening,
[45:29] Mayor Mayor Protein, members of
[45:30] council, uh, this evening, the
[45:32] item, uh, that I have for you
[45:34] is a t-Mobile cell tower lease.
[45:36] Uh, the lease is located at our
[45:39] Southwater tank storage. So
[45:41] this evening, I will walk you
[45:43] through um a brief overview of
[45:45] the existing lease that we have
[45:47] with t-Mobile, um, an overview
[45:48] of the proposed lease with
[45:49] t-Mobile, provide staff
[45:50] recommendation, and then open
[45:53] it for any questions. So, as I
[45:55] stated, we do have an existing
[45:57] lease, uh, that original lease
[45:59] was signed back in DECEMBER of
[46:02] 2006, and that lease is
[46:04] actually with Nextel, um,
[46:06] Nexttel, um, was purchased by
[46:09] t-Mobile. Um, the tenant
[46:10] provided notice of additional
[46:11] equipment that they installed
[46:13] at the half million gallon
[46:15] elevated tank in FEBRUARY of
[46:17] 2015, uh, and that did not take
[46:18] up any additional space at the
[46:21] site. Uh, the original lease
[46:24] that we had with Nextel and
[46:27] then t-Mobile, um, terminated
[46:29] in DECEMBER of 2021, and we
[46:31] negotiated a month to month
[46:32] lease with them under the terms
[46:34] or matching the terms of that
[46:36] original lease agreement. Uh,
[46:38] t-Mobile has approached us and
[46:40] we have negotiated a new lease,
[46:43] um, So that will supersede this
[46:45] this month to month lease that
[46:47] we have been, um, operating on
[46:49] for the last several years. Uh,
[46:51] the initial term of that new
[46:52] lease is for 10 years with the
[46:56] option to renew for two
[46:57] successive 5-year terms,
[46:58] followed by two successive
[47:02] 1-year terms. Uh, the city or
[47:05] the tenant, uh t-Mobile can
[47:06] terminate after the initial
[47:07] term, as long as the proper
[47:08] notice is given per the
[47:11] agreement. Um, as I stated, we
[47:13] have negotiated all of the
[47:15] terms of the lease, including
[47:17] what occurs if the city has to
[47:18] perform maintenance, and we
[47:21] have to temporarily temporarily
[47:22] relocate those uh cell antennas.
[47:26] The rent under this new
[47:28] proposed lease is $2500 per
[47:31] month, and that increases 3%
[47:32] annually on the anniversary of
[47:36] that lease. Our staff
[47:37] recommendation is to approve
[47:38] the resolution authorizing the
[47:40] city manager to sign that new
[47:43] lease with the city and uh
[47:44] t-Mobile West llc, which is
[47:47] their official name. And with
[47:48] that, I will take any questions.
[47:51] Questions. We got Council
[47:54] member Green. Thank you, Beer.
[47:57] Thank you, Scott. Um, What was
[47:59] the run before? Uh, I believe
[48:03] that it was like 1350. Ok, so
[48:03] it
[48:05] s a significant increase and
[48:05] it
[48:06] s transferable, obviously,
[48:08] since that
[48:08] s how Nex health
[48:10] t-Mobile got it from them if
[48:11] t-Mobile were to be bought out
[48:13] by somebody, um, I
[48:13] m not sure
[48:15] that that would really occur,
[48:16] but yes, it would be. Thank you.
[48:21] Any other questions, Council
[48:25] member Tadeo. I have a question.
[48:27] Why did we, um, why, why have
[48:32] we been expired since 2021. Um,
[48:32] so we couldn
[48:33] t come to an
[48:34] agreement on the terms. So we
[48:35] just said, hey, why don
[48:35] t we go
[48:37] to a month to month lease, um,
[48:37] and that
[48:38] s what we
[48:38] ve been
[48:40] operating under. And so then
[48:40] what
[48:41] s been different? I mean,
[48:41] we
[48:42] ve just been able to
[48:43] negotiate something that
[48:44] everybody can agree on at this
[48:47] point. Exactly, yep, the, the
[48:49] new rent and what, what do we
[48:50] do when um we have to work on
[48:52] the tanks. That was a big point
[48:53] of contention in the past. It
[48:55] is pretty costly if you have to
[48:56] take those antennas down and
[48:58] put them what they call antenna
[49:00] on wheels. Um, so we
[49:00] ve
[49:01] negotiated, um, terms around
[49:06] that. Great. Thank you. If
[49:07] there
[49:07] s no other questions,
[49:08] we
[49:10] ll go on to, uh, Motions
[49:11] Councilmember Fiddler. Thank
[49:14] you, MAY. I, I move 9b for
[49:18] approval. Then uh council
[49:19] member Green. I will second
[49:22] that motion. 1st and 2nd to
[49:31] prove a 9b. Rocovo Motion
[49:33] passes 8 to 0. Thank you
[49:38] everyone for your time. Next,
[49:40] going on to reports. Start with
[49:43] reports by the mayor. Last week,
[49:48] I was a part of the um Adcog
[49:50] subregional committee and, um,
[49:52] We were discussing the 4p
[49:54] process and that that
[49:55] s the
[49:56] upcoming transportation funding
[49:56] that we
[49:58] re trying to get out of
[50:01] Cdot for improvements to the
[50:04] region, I presented, so every
[50:07] municipality presented on um
[50:07] different priorities that
[50:10] either touch that I
[50:12] municipality or or um affect
[50:15] that municipality. And I
[50:18] presented on behalf of uh the
[50:21] co7 coalition. And we obviously
[50:23] are trying to go for
[50:24] improvement to Highway 7, I
[50:25] mean, we
[50:26] ve already seen the,
[50:28] the ill and the repavement of
[50:29] the of most of that, there
[50:31] still a little bit, um, going
[50:33] on a little closer, I-25 right
[50:33] now, but we
[50:34] re seeing a lot of
[50:36] the fruits of that, uh, finally
[50:38] come to fruition for our
[50:42] community, but we are promoting,
[50:44] uh, the bus rapid transit
[50:45] service that will start, it
[50:47] supposed to start sometime next
[50:48] year, probably q1 of next year,
[50:51] and so. That was a part of my
[50:52] presentation to the group, um,
[50:56] I also. Advocated for funding
[51:01] for the uh. Upcoming uh signal
[51:03] at Bromley and I-76, everybody
[51:05] knows that travels that
[51:06] especially during peak hours
[51:07] and sometimes during not peak
[51:09] hours that that is an
[51:10] intersection that needs some,
[51:14] uh, Big time improvement and we
[51:16] got to work with ca to get
[51:17] those improvements done and
[51:19] part of that is uh putting up a
[51:21] signal instead of a stop sign
[51:23] that is not very sufficient,
[51:26] especially during peak hours.
[51:27] And another thing I talked
[51:30] about was, as a city, cities
[51:32] like Brighton and many cities
[51:35] in in the area, we tend to do a
[51:37] lot of Cdot right ofway
[51:39] improvements on their behalf
[51:40] without being compensated, and
[51:43] so I advocated for either at
[51:44] least some compensation for
[51:45] that, for those right away
[51:46] improvements which could be
[51:48] mowing, it could be filling
[51:50] potholes. It could be a number
[51:53] of things. Or at least working
[51:55] with Cdot to find solutions so
[51:57] they get the work done that
[51:59] they have not been very uh
[52:01] responsive to. So that was a
[52:03] that was a lot of that meeting
[52:04] that I was a part of it was
[52:06] about a 2.5 hour meeting we had
[52:10] last week. Uh, yesterday I was
[52:12] at the edc board meeting and a
[52:15] lot of the discussion was about
[52:17] uh the upcoming sunset of
[52:19] Burrow and and trying to uh
[52:21] create the dda that we talked
[52:22] about recently here in this
[52:25] council as well. Coming up, um,
[52:27] oh, also other other events I
[52:30] was at uh ac rep had their um
[52:32] game changers event last week.
[52:34] I was there along with the city
[52:36] manager, Martinez. There was a
[52:36] mayor
[52:42] s round table. Um, about
[52:42] anti-Semitism in Boulder and um,
[52:45] we, we were actually, we
[52:47] actually had this planned for a
[52:50] while to have this uh. This, uh,
[52:51] summit, this roundtable up
[52:54] until um. The attacks that
[52:55] happened in Boulder a couple
[52:56] weeks ago, and it turned into
[52:58] kind of a bigger conference
[53:00] where people came in from some
[53:02] of the surrounding states to
[53:05] talk about um ways to combat
[53:06] the anti-Semitic issues that
[53:07] have been going on across the
[53:11] country. I was also a Brighton
[53:13] Summerfest. A great job to our
[53:16] event staff for putting on our
[53:17] annual summer fest event, or I
[53:19] should call the Brighton
[53:22] Summerfest event. And, um, we
[53:23] appreciate all the community
[53:26] that comes out, participates in,
[53:28] uh, just bring that uh brighten,
[53:30] uh, fun to the community and,
[53:31] and the weather wasn
[53:31] t too hot
[53:33] like it was last year or it
[53:33] wasn
[53:35] t rainy like it was 2
[53:37] years ago. It was, it was
[53:38] probably just about right, so,
[53:40] uh, I Co, uh, tomorrow night, i
[53:44] got a, I have a Doctor Cog
[53:45] meeting and next week I
[53:46] ll be
[53:49] at the cml annual Conference.
[53:51] And otherwise, we are off for
[53:52] the next uh couple Tuesdays
[53:55] here, so be aware of the next
[53:55] meeting isn
[53:56] t till JULY 1st
[53:56] after we
[53:58] re done tonight, so.
[53:59] Next, we
[54:01] ll go to reports by
[54:03] department directors. I
[54:05] actually do have one quick
[54:07] report from a department. Uh,
[54:07] ll ask Director LeBree to
[54:10] come up and give some good news
[54:12] on a project that many of you
[54:13] have been asking questions on
[54:14] that I
[54:15] m happy to talk about
[54:16] completion. So is it Bridge
[54:20] Street? Is it done? Not quite.
[54:22] Good evening, Mayor Mayor Pro
[54:24] Temp and council.Re close
[54:24] though, we
[54:25] re getting real
[54:27] close, so, uh, but no, we
[54:27] re
[54:29] happy to report today that the
[54:31] street lights on Main Street
[54:33] has been stalled all the way
[54:33] from Long
[54:34] s Peak to Bush, and I
[54:35] got a couple of pictures. I
[54:37] thought, I think that one to
[54:39] the left is a really beautiful
[54:41] picture of downtown, and I
[54:43] think it shows the, the each
[54:44] individual task that is being
[54:46] done by Borough, by Public
[54:48] Works, and by community
[54:49] development. I think it
[54:50] coming, you can see it in.
[54:51] Pictures that it
[54:52] s a beautiful
[54:53] place to be and we
[54:53] re still
[54:55] continues to work to make it
[54:56] more beautiful. And these small,
[54:57] these light, these street
[54:59] lights is just one addition to
[54:59] that, so we
[55:00] re really happy to
[55:00] announce we
[55:01] re we
[55:01] re finished
[55:06] with it. Any questions? Well,
[55:07] we appreciate that. We, we, we
[55:09] gotta have, we got to stop
[55:10] people from hitting those
[55:11] lights. I saw there
[55:11] s one down
[55:14] in front of the library. Well,
[55:16] yeah, yeah, well. We
[55:17] re there
[55:20] to pick it back up and install.
[55:22] So and I, and uh Bob wanted me
[55:23] to let you guys know he
[55:24] working on the Christmas
[55:26] decorations. We have that, uh,
[55:28] purchased and ready to go.
[55:30] Hopefully starting to get it
[55:31] installed in the upgraded ones.
[55:34] Yes, yes, yes. He couldn
[55:34] t sell
[55:34] though, he
[55:35] s trying to sell the
[55:36] old ones, but they
[55:36] re not
[55:39] selling, so. You should have
[55:41] one with Olaf. So if anybody
[55:42] want Christmas decorations, we
[55:46] do have some available, so very
[55:48] good Thank you. Any questions
[55:49] for our public works director.
[55:50] Yeah, I just wanted to make
[55:52] sure I understand these are the
[55:55] lights down Main Street bridge.
[55:55] That
[55:57] s fantastic. Thank you.
[55:59] That is awesome. It, it, it got,
[56:00] you can see it
[56:01] s like taller,
[56:02] as I understand it, and uh you
[56:03] know, it just seemed to seemed
[56:05] to be a lot more sturdy, but
[56:05] they
[56:06] re definitely taller, I
[56:07] think it
[56:07] s it
[56:07] s prominent when
[56:08] you, when you
[56:08] re just looking
[56:11] at the pictures, it stands out.
[56:15] Yes, yeah. Right. Great. Thank
[56:18] you, sir. Any other department
[56:24] director updates. Nope. Ok.
[56:25] Moving ahead, updates by our
[56:28] city attorney. Nothing, thank
[56:29] you, except you
[56:29] re presenting
[56:31] next week. Yeah, I
[56:31] m not
[56:36] announcing that. All right, um,
[56:38] uh, updates from our city
[56:41] manager. Just one quick one, we
[56:42] had a wonderful concert planned
[56:44] for this Friday at Founders
[56:46] Plaza, Chicano Heat, which is
[56:48] pretty popular band here in the
[56:49] Denver metro area.
[56:49] Unfortunately, it
[56:51] s gonna be
[56:53] about 100 degrees and myself,
[56:55] our parks and rec director and
[56:57] our deputy city manager went
[56:58] over to founders yesterday, and
[57:00] we took an infrared thermometer
[57:01] to the pavement, pretty hot.
[57:01] It
[57:03] s uh well over 110 degrees
[57:03] on the pavement, so, and that
[57:05] was With cloud cover at 90
[57:08] degrees, so we had to
[57:09] unfortunately make the decision
[57:12] to move that concert from
[57:12] founders to Carmichael. So it
[57:15] still on, but in a much cooler
[57:16] place, so if you were planning
[57:18] on attending, that
[57:18] s Friday at
[57:19] 5 o
[57:21] clock, now at Carmichael.
[57:22] Thanks for announcing that.
[57:25] Hopefully, we can continue
[57:28] other events at Founders soon.
[57:34] All right. Um, next. Go to
[57:35] Reports by City Council. We
[57:40] start in the middle. Mein.
[57:41] Thank you. Apparently been
[57:41] because I didn
[57:42] t have any
[57:43] meetings last week. That
[57:44] s why
[57:45] I needed additional
[57:47] appointments. Um, so, uh, not
[57:49] very much to report, uh, I do
[57:50] want to thank several members
[57:51] of the community who came to
[57:55] join us for the ride Fest, um,
[57:55] for the Pride proclamation
[57:57] tonight. I really appreciate
[57:58] you being here. Uh, just a, a
[58:00] note that this Saturday is

[58:10] right. And then council member
[58:13] Tadeo. Thank you Mary. I don
[58:14] really have a whole lot to add.
[58:17] I was able to attend the Adams
[58:19] County Pride fest and uh
[58:19] Brighton Summerfest for a
[58:21] little bit, and I was really
[58:22] pleased by the turnout. Uh,
[58:23] there
[58:24] s a lot of people there
[58:25] and it seemed like everybody
[58:28] was having a lot of fun. Ok.
[58:30] m green. You know, I
[58:31] m never
[58:32] at a loss for words, but you
[58:34] know, you booked a band called
[58:34] Chicano Heat, you expect
[58:35] they
[58:36] re gonna bring it. All
[58:37] right? So, we didn
[58:38] t want them
[58:39] to be Chicano m melt. So that
[58:40] why we had to move. They
[58:41] re
[58:43] gonna bring the heat.
[58:47] Councilmember Worth. Thank you,
[58:49] Mayor. Um, also kind of quiet.
[58:51] I, um, attended a Parks and Rec,
[58:55] um. Meeting and I
[58:57] ll leave the
[59:01] details up to Jan and um also a
[59:03] byc meeting of their heavy into
[59:05] recruitment, uh, for the next
[59:09] year. We just had uh 13 seniors,
[59:10] uh, graduate, and so we
[59:11] re
[59:12] looking for a replacement uh
[59:13] strength, so they
[59:14] re having
[59:15] their uh interviews tomorrow.
[59:16] That, that
[59:17] s an all day event
[59:18] that they
[59:19] re not your standard
[59:20] traditional interviews. There
[59:23] a lot of uh events going on,
[59:23] they
[59:24] re looking for team
[59:25] bonding and things like that.
[59:27] So, uh, it should be, should be
[59:28] a good time for him. I
[59:30] unfortunately will not be able
[59:31] to make the interviews this
[59:32] year. That
[59:33] s all I got. Thank
[59:36] you. All right. That
[59:36] s my
[59:37] Rolosky. Thank you, Mayor. Well,
[59:44] The gory details from the wreck.
[59:44] There
[59:45] s no garage. They are not
[59:48] gory at all. They
[59:49] re great,
[59:49] they
[59:51] re a great group. They
[59:51] re
[59:53] a great group. Now I did bring
[59:55] up a challenge to them because
[59:57] I, uh, had the unfortune of
[59:59] having to attend a funeral at
[1:00:03] the Elmwood Cemetery. And years
[1:00:04] ago when Elmwood was quite
[1:00:08] young back 40 years ago we made
[1:00:09] the decision or the decision
[1:00:11] was made to plant trees along
[1:00:12] the highway to try to block out
[1:00:14] the noise that was was coming
[1:00:17] off of the roadway. Well, it
[1:00:18] ended up this particular
[1:00:21] service that I was at. Those
[1:00:23] trees are not doing any good at
[1:00:25] all, so I asked the Parks and
[1:00:26] Rec folks if they would please
[1:00:27] look at is there something they
[1:00:29] can bring in when someone does
[1:00:32] a graveside service that can
[1:00:33] filter out or block that noise
[1:00:35] so they can, because you
[1:00:35] couldn
[1:00:36] t hear the minister, you
[1:00:36] can
[1:00:37] t hear people speak. It
[1:00:40] just I mean, the trucks now
[1:00:42] that are long 85 or just, it
[1:00:43] unbelievable. So anyway,
[1:00:43] they
[1:00:44] re, they
[1:00:45] re taking that
[1:00:46] challenge and, and I very much
[1:00:48] appreciate that, being able to
[1:00:48] be done because it
[1:00:49] s, it
[1:00:53] highly needed. Um, I also had a
[1:00:54] 4 hour e470 board meeting that
[1:00:55] included me handing out checks,
[1:00:59] uh. More than $20,000 worth of
[1:01:02] checks to groups that actually
[1:01:05] they promote um. Uh, car seats
[1:01:10] for kids and also. Uh, provide.
[1:01:14] Hopefully some means of of
[1:01:16] monetary value to students who
[1:01:16] are doing driver
[1:01:17] s ed, so it,
[1:01:20] it was, it was, like I said, it
[1:01:22] was really very great meeting.
[1:01:26] Um, And then I attended last
[1:01:28] Friday night I attended the
[1:01:29] meeting out at uh the Adams
[1:01:30] County Building regarding the
[1:01:32] expansion or work on Sable
[1:01:35] Boulevard. It was interesting
[1:01:36] because I think I was the only
[1:01:38] councilperson there. I know
[1:01:38] Marv Falconberry, he
[1:01:39] s not back
[1:01:41] there now. He was, he attended,
[1:01:44] but honestly, you guys, they
[1:01:44] didn
[1:01:44] t expect the turnout they
[1:01:47] got. They had to move to from
[1:01:49] one big room to a bigger,
[1:01:51] bigger room. There were so many
[1:01:53] people there, but overall it
[1:01:54] was very well attended, I think
[1:01:56] people got a lot of questions
[1:01:57] answered so I thought it was
[1:02:02] very good. And then, pardon?
[1:02:04] There was a little anti in it,
[1:02:06] but when they went through and
[1:02:09] saw what Common sense was going
[1:02:10] to be taking place. They were
[1:02:12] very much more accepting. Yeah,
[1:02:14] no, they, it was pretty much
[1:02:18] anti, I would say the majority.
[1:02:19] Anyway, um, the other thing
[1:02:21] that was great was today the
[1:02:23] ribbon cutting at Brighton at
[1:02:24] Brighton Benedict Park, you
[1:02:26] know, the Benedict was our
[1:02:28] original park back in the day,
[1:02:30] and I told the story there
[1:02:32] today too that when we came to
[1:02:32] Brighton in
[1:02:34] 67, that was the
[1:02:36] only part that existed when I
[1:02:37] got on the parks board because
[1:02:39] at that time all ofverver parks
[1:02:41] so we had to wait and once we
[1:02:43] got recreation to make it a
[1:02:45] parks and recreation board, so
[1:02:46] anyway, over the years I
[1:02:48] seen so much happening. Changes.
[1:02:49] s been wonderful, but it, it
[1:02:51] was so great to have this
[1:02:52] ribbon cutting to make the
[1:02:54] official opening of the park
[1:02:56] because, oh my gosh, if any of
[1:02:57] you have not been by there, you
[1:02:59] need to go by and see and
[1:03:01] actually go over and walk
[1:03:02] around the equipment that
[1:03:03] s the
[1:03:05] new slides and everything, the,
[1:03:07] the material that they put in
[1:03:08] there is wonderful. It
[1:03:09] s, it
[1:03:12] springy and soft and you won
[1:03:14] trip over like you did in the
[1:03:16] past, and then they also not
[1:03:19] only have a kids slide area
[1:03:24] they have older. Folks, older
[1:03:27] kids, uh, and, uh, and they
[1:03:29] have the, the frisbee golf
[1:03:30] course and I mean, it
[1:03:31] s just,
[1:03:32] s fantastic, everything. I
[1:03:33] mean, if you get a chance, you
[1:03:35] need to go by and kind of enjoy
[1:03:37] it all yourself. So anyway,
[1:03:37] thank you very much. That
[1:03:39] should do it. It
[1:03:39] s great to be
[1:03:43] there. Council member Fiddler.
