1
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,265
We got a email today and I have people asked this question before regarding a few

2
00:02:13,265 --> 00:02:20,465
businesses in town and different things. A hotel of course David you

3
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:23,743
mentioned the hotel a little bit.

4
00:02:23,743 --> 00:02:31,543
>> As you all know they received town Council both land-use and incentive approval

5
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:43,520
they were required to pull a permit by a deadline here in May and they met that deadline.

6
00:02:45,732 --> 00:02:52,710
They probably will be back requesting for an extension of the deadline for completion but

7
00:02:52,710 --> 00:03:00,947
they paid the I don't know, what was $27,000 permit fee for the foundation which was

8
00:03:00,947 --> 00:03:08,147
required the project as a way to go as far as gettingstarted .

9
00:03:09,922 --> 00:03:17,122
That's our understanding from communications and obviously the reaction we received from

10
00:03:18,970 --> 00:03:21,367
the city hotel project on Ontario.

11
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:25,905
>> You got that earlier. >> Know I appreciate the

12
00:03:25,905 --> 00:03:33,705
update. The way I help them with that there is complaints about of

13
00:03:37,349 --> 00:03:47,349
course what a social club was and we had no money invested in that it's not something for

14
00:03:48,761 --> 00:03:57,761
counsel to talk about that much the Douglas County school District building as a counsel

15
00:03:58,637 --> 00:04:04,444
on this we are trying to figure out a way to say that building we will see what happens.

16
00:04:04,444 --> 00:04:08,680
Again we will see what happens on that. And somebody asked about the

17
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:17,680
occupancy and frankly it is not really certain how many people are in that building.

18
00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:26,899
They have met the obligation with the parking lot that is being used.That's great.

19
00:04:26,899 --> 00:04:34,990
But, besides that, downtown County is thriving.We have councilmembers from other

20
00:04:36,750 --> 00:04:43,316
states even visit counsel rock Castle Rock downtown on business field trip to see how

21
00:04:43,316 --> 00:04:48,540
we are doing downtown it has really been impressive and we are still climbing up I think

22
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:55,854
that our smaller business community downtown is hopefully doing better all the time.

23
00:04:59,565 --> 00:05:04,403
I know I can speak for a lot of downtown merchants.It is a hard go the way it is but I

24
00:05:04,403 --> 00:05:09,308
think our downtown is doing well. As far as sales tax and just

25
00:05:09,308 --> 00:05:15,481
seeing a ton of people downtown every weekend when I walked down over the last weekend for

26
00:05:15,481 --> 00:05:20,919
my house we hung out the amount of young people and people hanging out is really cool to

27
00:05:20,919 --> 00:05:28,694
see.I get that traffic can be hard and it can be crowded but it's better than not being

28
00:05:28,694 --> 00:05:34,200
crowded. There is a lot of towns on the frontrange that would love to

29
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,400
have our problem , without councilmember Ryan Hollingshead.

30
00:05:39,638 --> 00:05:42,380
>> RYAN HOLLINGSHEAD: No comment.

31
00:05:42,208 --> 00:05:50,583
>> Thank you Mary. I received the same email and you know I think you addressed

32
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:56,488
the majority of the points very well and you know, where we have authority to be able to

33
00:05:56,488 --> 00:06:04,288
affect private property and ask them to develop something I think the differentiator

34
00:06:13,853 --> 00:06:21,653
between the private property further zoning the emails we are receiving are valid.

35
00:06:50,322 --> 00:06:57,963
It's not always the category that was described. I think we are doing well and

36
00:06:57,963 --> 00:07:02,763
driving that's all I have, thank you Mary.

37
00:07:04,203 --> 00:07:09,341
>> Councilmember Davis. >> I think it was a month or so

38
00:07:09,341 --> 00:07:16,541
ago some ideas. I don't know if they had treatment or so.

39
00:07:23,522 --> 00:07:28,627
I'm just going to ask questions about that more parking in that building.

40
00:07:28,627 --> 00:07:32,227
>> They have opened it up entirely.

41
00:07:36,836 --> 00:07:45,836
>> Do a better job notifying the public the community about the availability of that but

42
00:07:46,445 --> 00:07:55,445
also I know we are working on that. She has been working on some of

43
00:07:55,955 --> 00:08:00,193
the wayfinding signage included in that. Thank you for bringing that up

44
00:08:00,193 --> 00:08:05,798
and we will give you all including the councilmember an update on that.

45
00:08:05,798 --> 00:08:14,798
I follow up on that. Maybe just an update in general yes, thank you really

46
00:08:22,682 --> 00:08:32,682
interested in our budget to get out there June 9 at 4 o'clock so we all know we have an open

47
00:08:34,326 --> 00:08:40,132
budget meeting. Friday the 14th let's remember our veterans a day again and

48
00:08:40,132 --> 00:08:47,332
what that means and American region is going to be collecting flags.

49
00:08:50,843 --> 00:08:56,916
Old flags that need to be retired, bring them on up or if you all have old flags bring

50
00:08:56,916 --> 00:09:00,652
them to me. I get them to the right place to get them retired to.

51
00:09:00,652 --> 00:09:07,852
Thank you very much. >> MAYOR JASON GRAY: Thank you councilmember Tim Dietz.

52
00:09:08,193 --> 00:09:18,193
>> LAURA CAVEY: I want to add on a little bit to what Ãsorry I am a little bit under the

53
00:09:18,437 --> 00:09:23,275
weather. What the mayor said. I know Barry Street social

54
00:09:23,275 --> 00:09:28,247
isn't something that we are doing with today but if there has been any interest from

55
00:09:28,247 --> 00:09:33,647
anybody on doing something with that piece of property?

56
00:09:36,222 --> 00:09:41,159
>> I can't speak definitively if there has been. We've been working with owners

57
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:47,990
representatives to make sure that the fencing they have on that property is appropriately

58
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:53,839
secured and is not going to be an obstacle for sidewalk or hourly use.

59
00:09:53,839 --> 00:09:58,944
When we have made inquiries we know that some of the ownership of the partnership that owns

60
00:09:58,944 --> 00:10:07,386
that property has changed. We know that at different points the property has been on

61
00:10:07,386 --> 00:10:16,862
the market so that somebody else might buy that, by that property.In all likelihood if

62
00:10:16,862 --> 00:10:23,100
there is a new owner we would probably be back before the town because unlikely there

63
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:30,609
concept produced will exactly match the approved concept but other than that we haven't had

64
00:10:30,609 --> 00:10:39,718
any discussions in regards to that I am very mindful of the fact that vacant spots in

65
00:10:39,718 --> 00:10:46,918
downtown it is not a desirable look. It's not a desirable outcome.

66
00:10:48,961 --> 00:10:58,961
And we want to find ways to encourage you and to move with expedition on that we don't

67
00:10:59,572 --> 00:11:04,577
have any more abilities other than just contacting them to give status reports.

68
00:11:04,577 --> 00:11:10,577
>> I appreciate it, thank you. >> No problem, you are good.

69
00:11:13,118 --> 00:11:17,289
We are going to get through this fairly quickly so hopefully you can get better

70
00:11:17,289 --> 00:11:23,289
soon. I have unscheduled public appearances.At this time it's

71
00:11:29,401 --> 00:11:34,606
reserved for members of the public to make presentation to counsel items are not scheduled

72
00:11:34,606 --> 00:11:39,344
on the agenda. The general practice counsel will not discuss or debate

73
00:11:39,344 --> 00:11:43,582
these items. Counsel making decisions on these items presented during

74
00:11:43,582 --> 00:11:46,752
this time. Refers to items or staff for follow-up.

75
00:11:46,752 --> 00:11:50,856
Coming from the speaker which is 30 minutes total. Residents will begin priority

76
00:11:50,856 --> 00:11:55,928
to town Council followed by nonresidents representing Castle Rock business and

77
00:11:55,928 --> 00:12:02,367
businesses outside of town as time permits counsel is also assessing public comments amid

78
00:12:02,367 --> 00:12:08,908
online at CR.gov counsel comments from 1 o'clock today to be included in public

79
00:12:08,908 --> 00:12:13,112
record. I do have a few people assigned to speakversus John , get it

80
00:12:13,112 --> 00:12:16,712
close. >> Great, thank you for having

81
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,418
me. In light of the recent Memorial day we want to thank everyone

82
00:12:40,418 --> 00:12:50,361
who has served, appreciate you. From the perspective of a city or town, trails are a cash cow

83
00:12:50,361 --> 00:12:58,360
they cost a fraction of what was paved or when a path or road was cost and they often

84
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,400
pay for themselves in two or three years. This is not wishful thinking I

85
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:08,946
have cited over 50 ask academic studies I've emailed those through every one of you

86
00:13:08,946 --> 00:13:15,860
including a calculator that you can use to calculate the return on investment real-time based

87
00:13:15,860 --> 00:13:20,992
on different assumptions. In other words you spend $1 million improving or building

88
00:13:20,992 --> 00:13:25,129
not bike trails and the economic benefits pay for themselves over a short.

89
00:13:25,129 --> 00:13:29,670
Of time. It would be likely that our breakeven would be even better

90
00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:36,574
and quicker than average. Especially if you want to keep the rates down that is a good

91
00:13:36,574 --> 00:13:39,610
idea too. Trails also show increased by home value.

92
00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:45,550
Again not by estimation. I think by documentation. The economic benefits of trails

93
00:13:45,550 --> 00:13:54,926
are not as good for crowded or trails that need maintenance. We have two developments coming

94
00:13:54,926 --> 00:14:00,497
up adjacent to the max. Both the Brickyard and mothers landing.

95
00:14:00,497 --> 00:14:05,669
Among all the amenities there's going to be 1500 residents. My concern is that so far as I

96
00:14:05,669 --> 00:14:09,440
can tell there isn't even a plan to build a extra park bench.

97
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,878
I am here to talk about the singletrack trail and non-vibrators as well.

98
00:14:14,878 --> 00:14:22,678
Some believe right now those 8 miles are crowded populations growing when building trails,

99
00:14:28,726 --> 00:14:33,697
Castle Rock has historically partnered with nonprofits such as kava and it means our

100
00:14:33,697 --> 00:14:41,497
capacity to build new trails and take on new projects is extremely limited.

101
00:14:42,807 --> 00:14:48,146
The capacity to design trails, specialized software, organization, they can help us

102
00:14:48,146 --> 00:14:53,830
apply for grants. Jeff Cho for example when they plan to build a trail convert

103
00:14:53,830 --> 00:14:57,354
is a extremely important part of the trail that helps every step of the way.

104
00:14:57,354 --> 00:15:04,461
I a couple of handouts to you about the room. There is plenty of room to

105
00:15:04,461 --> 00:15:11,350
build trails calling a stack trail design which they use and I think I've cited 10 or 15

106
00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:19,410
examples there. As I mentioned the new trails to be built would have to be an

107
00:15:19,410 --> 00:15:27,210
investment and the economic studies please. Our trails could be the envy of

108
00:15:38,620 --> 00:15:41,620
the front range. >> Yes sir.

109
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:47,300
>> Thank you. >> For my day job the concrete

110
00:16:16,234 --> 00:16:23,434
contractors we are a heavy civil and commercial contractor throughout the state

111
00:16:29,313 --> 00:16:33,651
qualifications and concrete. I worked in concrete construction for 20 years now.

112
00:16:33,651 --> 00:16:39,456
I am a certified finisher and technician which is American concrete Institute.The board

113
00:16:39,456 --> 00:16:43,327
directors and I have been certified and expert to testify at trial.

114
00:16:43,327 --> 00:16:50,601
The reason I'm here is I have concerns due to the work that's being done improperly in the

115
00:16:50,601 --> 00:16:55,439
neighborhoods and the taxpayers are paying for it. The main concerns are improper

116
00:16:55,439 --> 00:16:58,676
tearing. It comes through coverage and the timing of this year.

117
00:16:58,676 --> 00:17:06,476
Using exterior concrete. Damaging his existing stones adjacent to the work that is

118
00:17:07,852 --> 00:17:14,250
being repaired and pouring concrete in the rain. The reason these concerns are

119
00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:19,630
valid is improper tearing can lead to surface defects the town has to pay for in the near

120
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:24,502
future. These have been elevated recently since 2020 to when the

121
00:17:24,502 --> 00:17:30,408
EPA regulated type I as a carbon reduction act. The concrete that's being

122
00:17:30,408 --> 00:17:37,214
damaged outside of the town is paying for is a item now that the town is about to go back

123
00:17:37,214 --> 00:17:43,921
and fix causing all the taxpayers more money. I witness these acts over the

124
00:17:43,921 --> 00:17:49,994
last month in my neighborhood and adjacent neighborhoods taking photos, video extensions

125
00:17:49,994 --> 00:17:58,736
by neighbors obviously curious and another concern I have is the difference in the new

126
00:17:58,736 --> 00:18:02,106
specifications that are pretrade for public works. Our company does a lot of work

127
00:18:02,106 --> 00:18:11,106
in the development area of Castle Rock and throughout the state and the development side

128
00:18:12,716 --> 00:18:17,588
of Castle Rock holds four specifications for 100% if not more and should in my opinion.

129
00:18:17,588 --> 00:18:22,493
The public worksite in my opinion when I watch it is loosey-goosey and put down any

130
00:18:22,493 --> 00:18:28,299
kind of work they would like. Some solutions that I would like to see is the concrete

131
00:18:28,299 --> 00:18:36,585
that's been improperly placed can be redone a payment reduction fee granted for the

132
00:18:36,585 --> 00:18:41,923
work that is not an specification. And that the damage work

133
00:18:41,923 --> 00:18:46,461
outside of the town's paper also be asked at no cost for taxpayers.

134
00:18:46,461 --> 00:18:55,137
We solutions of the contractor is I would like to see unification between the two

135
00:18:55,137 --> 00:19:00,943
different entities and Castle Rock and the specifications being enforced equally between

136
00:19:00,943 --> 00:19:05,214
development and public works. As I mentioned I work in development and thank you for

137
00:19:05,214 --> 00:19:08,830
your time. >> Thank you James.

138
00:19:08,830 --> 00:19:11,853
I know as a counsel we pretty much ask the public works to get back to us with their

139
00:19:11,853 --> 00:19:20,195
findings on this I imagine you willget a response from probably all of us as well in

140
00:19:20,195 --> 00:19:24,395
public works . >> You live right down the

141
00:19:29,170 --> 00:19:33,700
street from you so I am a councilmember. I'm more than happy to help

142
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:37,207
facilitate any to rectify whatever's going on.

143
00:19:37,378 --> 00:19:46,254
>> I want to make sure you're treated fairly on the business side working with the upper

144
00:19:46,254 --> 00:19:50,359
side of Castle Rock. >> Yes has the public works

145
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,300
department contacted you? They told me to contact you.

146
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:59,000
>> Yes they reached out to me I talked to him on Friday and even yesterday.

147
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,380
I've voiced the concerns. >> We are going to get this

148
00:20:03,380 --> 00:20:09,211
response to this. I want to make sure we know what's going on thank you for

149
00:20:09,211 --> 00:20:12,811
bringing your comments forward. >> Thank you.

150
00:20:27,162 --> 00:20:31,500
>> KEVIN BRACKEN: I would like to think John. John that spoke about the trail

151
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:35,337
and the economic impact to Castle Rock. He approached me during our

152
00:20:35,337 --> 00:20:40,374
open house this past winter and I encouraged him to present the town Council.

153
00:20:40,374 --> 00:20:45,113
So he is very much following the process that was asked of him and if you could look at

154
00:20:45,113 --> 00:20:52,254
this packet that he put together with special attention and maybe we can have parks and

155
00:20:52,254 --> 00:20:59,494
look at it if he's talking about economic impact in getting more trails and perhaps

156
00:20:59,494 --> 00:21:09,494
I was lost on the length of the speech but I just wanted to thank you for direction putting

157
00:21:09,971 --> 00:21:17,245
this together and spending your time because that is the process that I asked of youand

158
00:21:17,245 --> 00:21:24,445
it's a very common process . >> You know what we could do is

159
00:21:24,452 --> 00:21:32,594
just ask if we wanted to as a counsel we could ask parks and record to follow up just a

160
00:21:32,594 --> 00:21:34,730
little bit. >> At least we can get some

161
00:21:34,730 --> 00:21:38,330
answers. That would be great. Okay.

162
00:21:52,347 --> 00:21:56,785
Any follow-up with counsel is probably fine. Thank you.

163
00:21:56,785 --> 00:22:01,656
If someone wishes to speak please approach the podium state your name and whether you

164
00:22:01,656 --> 00:22:08,256
are a resident or a nonresident. >> Good evening my name is

165
00:22:20,175 --> 00:22:28,150
Mark Neal I'm not a resident but I own Castle Rock ski we've been in town for 26 years.

166
00:22:28,150 --> 00:22:32,954
I have a pretty unique history on the trail building and Castle Rock.

167
00:22:32,954 --> 00:22:38,260
I've been involved pretty much with the town since day one we opened up and Castle Rock into

168
00:22:38,260 --> 00:22:41,362
thousand there were actually 0 miles in the city of Castle Rock.

169
00:22:41,362 --> 00:22:47,350
We now have approximately about 30 miles in a single track that's been developed and we've

170
00:22:47,350 --> 00:22:52,107
done several big projects over the years with TS Miller obviously redlined weave action

171
00:22:52,107 --> 00:22:59,981
been developed the little piece of property so I really am here to support John with the full

172
00:22:59,981 --> 00:23:05,520
weight of Castle Rock as well as all of the other bike shops in town and the organization

173
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,191
which is a highschool . One of the things I think that is happened is we fully

174
00:23:09,191 --> 00:23:14,596
developed the track over the years but we've got a population of pretty much

175
00:23:14,596 --> 00:23:20,469
doubled since the last time any single track in the city of Castle Rock and Don is correct

176
00:23:20,469 --> 00:23:26,174
and the point that we have plenty of property it is not a issue of actually how to

177
00:23:26,174 --> 00:23:34,850
acquire more open space is more of a design issue and that is a stacked Luke situation we

178
00:23:34,850 --> 00:23:42,570
talked about designing more trail networks on the existing property that we have.

179
00:23:42,570 --> 00:23:45,693
Surface trails are a fraction of the cost of pouring concrete.

180
00:23:45,693 --> 00:23:50,298
We don't know to pour a mile of concrete a little over $1 million these days.You can

181
00:23:50,298 --> 00:23:54,703
cut a track for well under 100,000. And another thing that we know

182
00:23:54,703 --> 00:23:59,774
is in the development of Castle Rock with the award-winning parks that we have one of the

183
00:23:59,774 --> 00:24:08,174
biggest attractions is the single track service trail. That's one of the things that

184
00:24:10,952 --> 00:24:15,857
has really developed and increased with property values in the Meadows and all around.

185
00:24:15,857 --> 00:24:21,620
It's something I think the town really should consider. Another thing that really needs

186
00:24:21,620 --> 00:24:26,802
to happen is parks and needs to take responsibility for the soft service trail network that

187
00:24:26,802 --> 00:24:31,720
they have. Having been involved in all of the volunteer organizations

188
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,977
that help maintain the trails over all these years. It is something that the parks

189
00:24:35,977 --> 00:24:40,989
and really needs to develop a soft service trail and managing those trail networks and not

190
00:24:40,989 --> 00:24:45,827
really relying on a volunteer network because the trail network is going beyond the

191
00:24:45,827 --> 00:24:49,964
capacity of any volunteer organization and network to assist in that.

192
00:24:49,964 --> 00:24:54,703
So that is something I also encouraged that needs to be addressed with budgeting and

193
00:24:54,703 --> 00:24:59,508
Parks and Recreation they need to have some resources available to really maintain

194
00:24:59,508 --> 00:25:07,916
and develop those soft service trails because it's become the final jewel of Castle Rock.

195
00:25:07,916 --> 00:25:11,860
Thank you very much for your time. I appreciate it and I

196
00:25:11,860 --> 00:25:14,155
appreciate John bringing this issue forward before the Council.

197
00:25:14,155 --> 00:25:18,926
>> MAYOR JASON GRAY: Think you Mark, appreciate it. All right, no one else if

198
00:25:18,926 --> 00:25:23,164
someone wishes to speak approached the podium state your name if you are a

199
00:25:23,164 --> 00:25:26,968
resident, nonresident or business owner you have five minutes to speak.

200
00:25:26,968 --> 00:25:31,380
Seeing none. We are going to move to town manager report.

201
00:25:31,380 --> 00:25:38,450
>> Good evening counsel I'm going to ask chief to come up. I want to provide just a little

202
00:25:38,450 --> 00:25:46,445
bit of review of the after action meetings that some other law enforcement representatives

203
00:25:52,827 --> 00:26:01,827
for the police department we attended a meeting with the state patrol C.Sheriff's office

204
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:14,340
and we talked about the May 15 accident and the resulting suggestion and the resulting

205
00:26:14,582 --> 00:26:21,889
gridlock in the community we want to let you know that we are following up with them.

206
00:26:21,889 --> 00:26:27,862
We haven't finalized the written document as far as actually report but one of the

207
00:26:27,862 --> 00:26:32,734
things I wanted to let you know is that we did impress upon them the severity and the

208
00:26:32,734 --> 00:26:39,874
significance of that incident on Castle Rock. They acknowledged that they di

209
00:26:39,874 --> 00:26:45,880
, they heard loud and clear from us. The people that have to respond

210
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:54,155
to accidents in the Douglas County I 25 corridor or largely Douglas County residents and

211
00:26:54,155 --> 00:26:58,626
Douglas County based. That is good in my opinion if they know the severity and the

212
00:26:58,626 --> 00:27:06,901
importance of that issue. But we really talked about what are things that can be done

213
00:27:06,901 --> 00:27:13,641
going forward and I really appreciated the discussion because it was really focused

214
00:27:13,641 --> 00:27:19,380
on improvements and things that can be getting better and there are a number of things we

215
00:27:19,380 --> 00:27:23,618
continue to work on. Interestingly enough there is a entire science of this called

216
00:27:23,618 --> 00:27:29,180
10. Incident management where we are managing incidents on large

217
00:27:32,727 --> 00:27:41,469
roads and they have people that have been involved at a national level in regards to

218
00:27:41,469 --> 00:27:48,690
Tim. And all of the different protocols that come after that.

219
00:27:48,176 --> 00:27:53,815
So there is a existing management plan we want to further refine it and obviously

220
00:27:53,815 --> 00:27:59,821
improve it. There was a lot of discussion about the fact that there is

221
00:27:59,821 --> 00:28:03,892
opportunities for improved communication. There is improved resource

222
00:28:03,892 --> 00:28:11,766
sharing. We pointed it out to make sure everyone is the right people in

223
00:28:11,766 --> 00:28:15,637
the room. We have drones, we have the camera systems that can take

224
00:28:15,637 --> 00:28:21,370
appropriate photographs of a scene. We heard discussions about

225
00:28:21,750 --> 00:28:28,282
their approved protocols so they can mark the move. Mark the incident where it

226
00:28:28,282 --> 00:28:32,587
happened. Lose the damaged vehicles out of the way sweep it up and

227
00:28:32,587 --> 00:28:36,858
move. There was a lot of issues and we can talk about how there was

228
00:28:36,858 --> 00:28:42,864
officially a confluence of things that happened but in the afternoon, difficult traffic,

229
00:28:42,864 --> 00:28:48,203
difficult ability and all of those kind of things but I think there was a really good

230
00:28:48,203 --> 00:28:52,707
spirit of cooperation and opportunity with this in the future.

231
00:28:52,707 --> 00:28:59,307
The people from C.were very helpful. They are operational minded.

232
00:29:00,514 --> 00:29:04,850
They were not the ones to make the decision on how to spend C.on a road level.

233
00:29:04,850 --> 00:29:09,624
I still think we need a lot beyond that. We know we are a lot reserved

234
00:29:09,624 --> 00:29:15,963
in regards to the width and the capacity and the state highways that serve our community.

235
00:29:15,963 --> 00:29:22,636
Whether it is 86, whether it is 83 Parker Road. All of those roads were

236
00:29:22,636 --> 00:29:29,544
congested. And we all know that we spent a lot of time talking about that.

237
00:29:29,544 --> 00:29:39,544
We did point out that we were very fortunate we didn't have life safety incidents that were

238
00:29:42,256 --> 00:29:50,656
creating physical harm in regards to that.It is not a sufficient management plan.

239
00:29:57,138 --> 00:30:05,312
We want to be better than that and you all agree with that. We didn't feel like we were

240
00:30:05,312 --> 00:30:10,151
telling them things. We followed we were working with them to try to make sure

241
00:30:10,151 --> 00:30:20,151
that we can avoid these if there's anything we want to add that we can respondto any

242
00:30:27,802 --> 00:30:35,200
counsel questions . We have a strong partnership with the state patrol during

243
00:30:40,381 --> 00:30:49,981
the debriefing and so we did identify a number of areas and opportunities to improve which

244
00:30:50,497 --> 00:30:57,804
going forward we will be every able to do that. To provide a better level of

245
00:30:57,804 --> 00:31:02,409
service so I am very pleased with the outcome.

246
00:31:02,409 --> 00:31:06,900
>> Thank you, any questions or comments?

247
00:31:13,753 --> 00:31:18,125
>> I want to say thank you for you guys doing that and working on it.

248
00:31:18,125 --> 00:31:23,263
Obviously we all know it was a very big issue all of us got some sort of feedback or email

249
00:31:23,263 --> 00:31:27,901
or something in response to what happens so the fact that we are being responsive my

250
00:31:27,901 --> 00:31:35,475
favorite word proactive forward-looking so these types of things don't happen in the

251
00:31:35,475 --> 00:31:38,878
future. I just want to say thank you.

252
00:31:38,878 --> 00:31:40,878
>> Absolutely. Thanks everybody.

253
00:31:43,250 --> 00:31:48,789
>> We will click through some of the cover on Ãas we've mentioned we do have a budget

254
00:31:48,789 --> 00:31:56,530
open house on the ninth of June. Where we are going to talk

255
00:31:56,530 --> 00:32:03,937
about how we can spend money but the first thing we want to do is how we do it right now.

256
00:32:03,937 --> 00:32:09,943
Which is really what we are focused on where the beginning stages of developing the 2020

257
00:32:09,943 --> 00:32:16,150
budget for viewers the budget is a calendar year budget by state law we have to adopt the

258
00:32:16,150 --> 00:32:21,200
budget by the end of the year we will probably have it in a little bit in the fall but it's

259
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:26,590
a very important document is just where your priorities are and serves as marching orders

260
00:32:26,590 --> 00:32:32,320
for 2027. It is an important document. You see some of the holiday

261
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:38,632
items the CNO conference.The mural dedication there. And fourth Street.

262
00:32:46,412 --> 00:32:52,218
We are excited for independence there lead to hundred 50th birthday of our country and

263
00:32:52,218 --> 00:33:01,494
later in the July we are going to be having the open space dedication and we are not yet

264
00:33:01,494 --> 00:33:09,769
putting on the calendar but we hope, we have reason to believe that we are going to get a

265
00:33:09,769 --> 00:33:14,374
northbound ramp with the crystal Valley interchange. Somewhere in this creek.

266
00:33:14,374 --> 00:33:19,846
We will definitely let you all know when it happens. Next slide just remind you of

267
00:33:19,846 --> 00:33:26,653
additional community engagement opportunities to involve the open houses for mayor and

268
00:33:26,653 --> 00:33:35,695
council than the next slide provides us with a number of events that we've got going

269
00:33:35,695 --> 00:33:44,695
that Mayor already mentioned there's a lot of other things going on you see neighborhood

270
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:54,915
meetings and a number of different items for the second time I will read all of those

271
00:33:54,915 --> 00:34:02,115
straightforward a couple of Dawson trails some more miscellaneous property and the

272
00:34:05,925 --> 00:34:09,930
spring is looking at some property they own which is very successful.

273
00:34:09,930 --> 00:34:18,930
Housing projects as well. Next I'm going to point to the preliminary end of year 2025

274
00:34:25,912 --> 00:34:30,650
financial review. Thedocument is in your pocket . Finally summarized we had a

275
00:34:30,650 --> 00:34:39,920
good year of growth, of revenues which is sales tax. We did have a continued

276
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,696
slowdown of growth related to development. Impact fees, construction and

277
00:34:43,696 --> 00:34:52,380
system development charges to perform as well as they have in previous years that happen to

278
00:34:52,380 --> 00:34:57,100
adjust budgets and expectations accordingly. We had corporate growth and our

279
00:34:57,100 --> 00:35:02,582
reserves funds that we need for cash management and other purposes and almost all of our

280
00:35:02,582 --> 00:35:09,782
funds and the continued strong expenditure management from the department doing that.

281
00:35:09,856 --> 00:35:18,256
At our next meeting you will receive the 2025 annual audit since you got additional

282
00:35:18,665 --> 00:35:25,839
financial questions you can ask the auditors there as well. So I'm happy to respond to

283
00:35:25,839 --> 00:35:33,790
questions. Percy is here as well if you got any questions regarding the

284
00:35:33,790 --> 00:35:36,679
2025 financial report. >> Any questions for David?

285
00:35:38,985 --> 00:35:41,888
>> Thank you David. >> Now we will hit on some

286
00:35:41,888 --> 00:35:43,888
development activity highlights.

287
00:35:44,290 --> 00:35:48,950
>> Good evening Mayor and town council members this is the first update.

288
00:35:48,950 --> 00:35:54,767
I will go over a couple of new quasijudicial updates that have been submitted since our last

289
00:35:54,767 --> 00:35:58,171
meeting. District 4 councilmember Davis district I live just north of

290
00:35:58,171 --> 00:36:06,571
here at 512 north Wilcox. The renovations and changes but the exterior changes are next

291
00:36:11,150 --> 00:36:17,570
to the design review board. So this could be a application that goes through the design

292
00:36:17,570 --> 00:36:22,628
review Board. It's still a small project you are not adding square footage

293
00:36:22,628 --> 00:36:28,334
to a level that would send it to counsel.I just wanted to make sure you are aware of that

294
00:36:28,334 --> 00:36:31,538
project. Quasijudicial. This is a submitted rezoning on

295
00:36:31,538 --> 00:36:37,377
the north end of town. This is really north of Parkway and East Home Depot Plaza.

296
00:36:37,377 --> 00:36:46,886
So what is a total of 15 acres that covers currently two zone districts.Which is the same

297
00:36:46,886 --> 00:36:51,991
commercial zoning on the shopping plaza to the left and then Alexander place on the

298
00:36:51,991 --> 00:36:59,766
southern end has zoning that was a number of years ago for a continuum of care and living

299
00:36:59,766 --> 00:37:05,509
uses. A current proposal is to combine the area in blue to one

300
00:37:05,509 --> 00:37:09,780
news zone district and they are proposing 50 single-family homes.

301
00:37:09,780 --> 00:37:15,385
That is under staff review. It will as it moves its way through the process has come

302
00:37:15,385 --> 00:37:22,585
for future public hearing for the formal quasijudicial application this is planning

303
00:37:28,298 --> 00:37:32,469
areas two and three. This is for site development plan and 64 acres highlighted

304
00:37:32,469 --> 00:37:38,809
in blue and the founders Parkway as you can see north through the neighborhood.

305
00:37:38,809 --> 00:37:48,809
Through this first parcel which was up, not down into the trees the main area taken into the

306
00:37:49,786 --> 00:37:54,491
road proposing a site plan for 133 single-family homes including 20 9/29 acres of open

307
00:37:54,491 --> 00:38:02,891
space access will be provided on founders Parkway and driving with Crimson sky Drive.

308
00:38:04,768 --> 00:38:12,643
That again was just found into its first and they take a number of rounds of staff

309
00:38:12,643 --> 00:38:20,250
review before they are ready to go all of these will have an additional set of neighborhood

310
00:38:20,250 --> 00:38:27,450
meetings. The rest is they are not formal applications yet it doesn't

311
00:38:31,327 --> 00:38:35,832
mean these projects will all move forward or they need a public hearing process this is

312
00:38:35,832 --> 00:38:41,738
their opportunity to ask staff questions about what would be in district 1 councilmember

313
00:38:41,738 --> 00:38:48,338
Hollings district Ryan Hollingshead's district is close to paintbrush Park they

314
00:38:54,818 --> 00:38:58,922
arty have a caring and learning center. This is a different user so

315
00:38:58,922 --> 00:39:03,961
they've got a different layout so they are looking to see what needs to be changed and amended

316
00:39:03,961 --> 00:39:07,300
on the plan. It shares an access to the north.

317
00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:13,630
District 3 councilmember Kevin Bracken's district the flight development plan that's already

318
00:39:16,306 --> 00:39:25,906
been improved for a restaurant this parcel is just south and so they are looking for

319
00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:31,200
elevation changes for that. Asking staff what is the process and what do they need

320
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,660
to do to move forward? American Academy charter school is looking to make some

321
00:39:36,660 --> 00:39:42,332
playground updates including new shaded shelters they are located west of Prairie House

322
00:39:42,332 --> 00:39:47,705
Drive and district four councilmember district has a pre-application just under 2

323
00:39:47,705 --> 00:39:55,212
acres of land right along front Street and black feather apartments from the

324
00:39:55,212 --> 00:40:02,412
single-family home that is the proposal or request for information from KinderCare

325
00:40:02,886 --> 00:40:07,657
early childhood education playground. And Promenade we had a

326
00:40:07,657 --> 00:40:16,657
pre-application for a same block that a lot of the apartment complexes RN next to

327
00:40:17,330 --> 00:40:26,410
the lazy dog site that is from site work but not building up. In the application I try not to

328
00:40:26,410 --> 00:40:31,315
always listen because we don't know if they will come to flourish and but the restaurant

329
00:40:31,315 --> 00:40:40,724
is one of them. Event care and then that is what they are looking at doing.

330
00:40:40,724 --> 00:40:49,566
Just across the street from not looking at the other adjacent, excuse me the other vacant

331
00:40:49,566 --> 00:40:56,166
parking to put up a 50,000 medical office. Off of atrium Drive.

332
00:40:57,207 --> 00:41:06,807
South Highway 85 across from my 25 in a area of the Pine Canyon and extension the waters

333
00:41:08,752 --> 00:41:15,580
facility Lightner equipment rental is going through the pre-application process you

334
00:41:15,580 --> 00:41:25,580
have to understand to do a development there this land I don't know that it's labeled so

335
00:41:28,380 --> 00:41:31,508
it's got a light industrial zoning on it.

336
00:41:31,508 --> 00:41:34,778
>> Happy to answer any questions you may have.

337
00:41:34,778 --> 00:41:43,178
>> Councilmember Brooks. >> MAX BROOKS: Mr. Mayor if you could come back to slide number

338
00:41:45,621 --> 00:41:49,525
five. I'm just curious, 50 homes is certainly not on the meter of

339
00:41:49,525 --> 00:41:53,964
impactful from a density standpoint.I'm just curious I'm pretty familiar with that

340
00:41:53,964 --> 00:42:01,400
area it's not my district I don't want to put my nose in somebody else's district but

341
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,142
I'm just curious. Would something like that have any sort of requirement for

342
00:42:05,142 --> 00:42:10,800
road improvements? Again understanding that 50 homes is not particularly

343
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,351
impactful but that area is a really narrow road.

344
00:42:14,351 --> 00:42:22,751
>> Through review we look at traffic studies for every application and when a property

345
00:42:22,959 --> 00:42:31,101
is going through a rezoning they look entitled already for a certain use and it's probably

346
00:42:31,101 --> 00:42:39,575
how the developer it's how they got to the homes and not something larger it's probably

347
00:42:39,575 --> 00:42:47,375
how they got to the entitlement uses and that can be more impactful.

348
00:42:50,386 --> 00:42:55,358
That is under staff review now. I can't definitively say if they met that mark or not at

349
00:42:55,358 --> 00:43:00,464
this point but their intention was to demonstrate that this proposed use was either equal

350
00:43:00,464 --> 00:43:04,601
intensities or lesser intensities to the commercial uses that were on the northern

351
00:43:04,601 --> 00:43:08,538
strip of the property. I should say the commercial entitled usage right?

352
00:43:08,538 --> 00:43:13,597
It had been built yet.So the entitled use and I believe the Alexander piece with the

353
00:43:13,597 --> 00:43:20,505
continuing care was 125 or 136 but obviously not all of those residents were driving.

354
00:43:20,505 --> 00:43:26,343
So again, that is under review but typically in these cases staff looks at what was

355
00:43:26,343 --> 00:43:30,548
currently entitled on the property are they proposing the use that is more or less than

356
00:43:30,548 --> 00:43:36,530
10 and what would be the appropriate mitigation to request based on that.

357
00:43:36,530 --> 00:43:41,159
As of rezoning, counsel and planning commissions of the recommendation but counsel is

358
00:43:41,159 --> 00:43:48,299
never required to approve a rezoning but that part of what staff looks at is weighing.

359
00:43:48,299 --> 00:43:52,337
Andobviously what the landowners are developing with gap .

360
00:43:52,337 --> 00:43:59,537
>> There's been some other changes growing a large Congregational Kerch church in

361
00:44:01,110 --> 00:44:08,811
that area as well. >> LAURA CAVEY: I have the same concerns as Max.

362
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:19,964
I actually go to that church that Max mentioned and that area in general, when we talk

363
00:44:19,964 --> 00:44:25,200
about Alan way and that whole area where Home Depot and sprouts is very congested

364
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:30,374
already. So, when you talk about the north end currently today it's

365
00:44:30,374 --> 00:44:36,974
zoned commercial. Is that correct? So they are wanting to remove

366
00:44:37,481 --> 00:44:45,881
commercial zoning and at in 50 homes?>> TARA VARGISH: Remove both the commercial zoning and

367
00:44:47,658 --> 00:44:51,796
I believe it is the 125 to 136 units. So take both of those uses away

368
00:44:51,796 --> 00:44:56,701
and just the back of the 50 single-family to be clear. Because of quasijudicial I just

369
00:44:56,701 --> 00:45:02,607
want to say I'm not asking for any opinions or recommendations from you all because we haven't

370
00:45:02,607 --> 00:45:06,944
had the public hearing at but happy to continue to answer questions.

371
00:45:06,944 --> 00:45:11,682
I just want to make sure it's clear that they are proposing to eliminate the current

372
00:45:11,682 --> 00:45:17,522
commercial zoning and the hundred plus units of continuum of care with just single-famil

373
00:45:17,522 --> 00:45:19,690
homes. >> I'm only asking questions .

374
00:45:19,690 --> 00:45:25,529
So the continuum of care is that kind of like a apartment building or something along

375
00:45:25,529 --> 00:45:31,302
that line sort of homes before? >> TARA VARGISH: Yes the zoning currently allows some

376
00:45:31,302 --> 00:45:37,341
independent patio homes and some age restricted multifamily and I believe it has proposed

377
00:45:37,341 --> 00:45:45,616
or envisioned at the time of third billing that would actually have a memory care

378
00:45:45,616 --> 00:45:49,387
use. Really a place you could age in place.That was part of the

379
00:45:49,387 --> 00:45:53,391
original zoning. It is my understanding that property owner hasn't

380
00:45:53,391 --> 00:45:57,995
successfully been able to attract that type of use and that's why they looked at a

381
00:45:57,995 --> 00:46:05,436
number of uses on these parcels for years on the commercial piece for landscape businesses

382
00:46:05,436 --> 00:46:09,706
to have the rocks here in the mulch here and the gravel there in the plants over there.

383
00:46:09,706 --> 00:46:16,180
So we give a lot of different ideas on parcels but this is actually a formal application.

384
00:46:16,180 --> 00:46:23,921
>> LAURA CAVEY: Okay thank you. >> MARK DAVIS: I always ask you a question about widening roads

385
00:46:23,921 --> 00:46:28,125
and that kind of thing.I see there is grading going on next to that.

386
00:46:28,125 --> 00:46:31,695
That one is Artie started right? >> TARA VARGISH: To the north

387
00:46:31,695 --> 00:46:37,701
of this property is Alexander way because they like to pick names that are similar when I'm

388
00:46:37,701 --> 00:46:41,205
in front of you all. So there is that project north of this.

389
00:46:41,205 --> 00:46:49,480
Are you talking about a different location I just want to make sure I understand.

390
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:54,510
>> Right about that. North of that one. >> TARA VARGISH: That project

391
00:46:54,510 --> 00:46:57,789
had a site developed a plan already. Seven homes, 55 are custom

392
00:46:57,789 --> 00:47:05,589
lofts and 22 our live work units that they are putting in roadinfrastructure, water

393
00:47:07,998 --> 00:47:13,998
infrastructure and all of that . >> MARK DAVIS: Out with the

394
00:47:16,473 --> 00:47:21,478
combination of that one do they need to widen the road at all? >> TARA VARGISH: It has not

395
00:47:21,478 --> 00:47:26,450
triggered any requirements to widen it because the numbers are below threshold.

396
00:47:26,450 --> 00:47:30,754
>> MARK DAVIS: In Douglas County if that one ever gets annexed and will they have to

397
00:47:30,754 --> 00:47:34,992
widen that road? >> TARA VARGISH: They shouldn't have to unless they brought in

398
00:47:34,992 --> 00:47:40,731
a really proposed a mega dance use and then that would be determined at the time of the

399
00:47:40,731 --> 00:47:43,167
rezoning. >> MARK DAVIS: All right, thank you.

400
00:47:43,167 --> 00:47:46,767
It'sdoing any other questions for CARA ?

401
00:47:48,706 --> 00:47:55,306
>> That concludes my report. Thank you. >> MAYOR JASON GRAY: Moving on

473
00:54:03,166 --> 00:54:07,966
2026-2027 Art and Culture Grant Program Maya Yates.

474
00:54:16,279 --> 00:54:19,649
>> MAYA YATES: Good evening Mayor and Mayor pro tem counsel.

475
00:54:19,649 --> 00:54:24,521
Thank you for the opportunity to be here to present the discussion action item for the

476
00:54:24,521 --> 00:54:29,259
2026 Ã2027 are in culture grant program. Just a quick reminder on the

477
00:54:29,259 --> 00:54:33,397
background this grant program is annual. It is funded through the public

478
00:54:33,397 --> 00:54:38,935
park fund and the goal is really to provide vibrant art and culture opportunities for

479
00:54:38,935 --> 00:54:45,742
our community to implement. So we provide funding to a variety of organization and

480
00:54:45,742 --> 00:54:51,810
nonprofit businesses and local artists and the street grant categories and vehicles.

481
00:54:51,810 --> 00:54:57,954
The program grants up to $10,000 of funding project grants and educated grants up

482
00:54:57,954 --> 00:55:06,960
to one councilman. This year we received a total of 16 applications and then a

483
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:14,496
grant panel consisting and town staff and counsel reviewed the submitted application using a

484
00:55:16,673 --> 00:55:23,747
adopted grant rubric. After that process the panel is recommending a total of 14

485
00:55:23,747 --> 00:55:29,738
applications for approval of the two grants that are not being recommended there were

486
00:55:29,738 --> 00:55:36,338
concerns expressed regarding the insufficient alignment with the grant category requirements

487
00:55:36,544 --> 00:55:46,144
for a lack of finalized project details or project impacts with the amount of it being

488
00:55:47,890 --> 00:55:51,960
requested.Once approved by counsel the funds will be distributed this summer than

489
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:57,640
the grants must be completed by the close of next year.The panel is recommending a total

490
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:04,840
of three educated grants and two for Christian Academy the request for $790 that purchase

491
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:13,181
support the direct purchase of Apple pencils and those would enhance instruction in the

492
00:56:13,181 --> 00:56:17,981
classroom through digital restriction and also traditional drawing.

493
00:56:19,121 --> 00:56:24,725
Counselor Christian Academy also requested $1000 to purchase what's called a Trump

494
00:56:24,725 --> 00:56:32,534
saw and supported supplies so these are safe cutting tools that allow students to cut

495
00:56:32,534 --> 00:56:39,975
cardboard and other lightweight materials for hand on design project model building and

496
00:56:39,975 --> 00:56:43,575
collaborative learning activities. In Renaissance secondary

497
00:56:44,145 --> 00:56:49,517
schools requested $1000 to support the purchase of a Japanese coach.

498
00:56:49,517 --> 00:56:54,289
They will use this and classroom for hands on experience and also in

499
00:56:54,289 --> 00:57:01,620
performances at their school. We reviewed the total, we are recommending a total of eight

500
00:57:01,620 --> 00:57:10,500
projects they requested $5000 to support the installation of a mural this would be placed on

501
00:57:10,500 --> 00:57:14,909
the south side of their building adjacent to the parking lot local artists then

502
00:57:14,909 --> 00:57:23,309
had requested $5000 this would be placed in the breezeway between Terry Street and the

503
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:29,491
parking lot behind lost copy downtown. So in the parking lot breezeway

504
00:57:29,491 --> 00:57:35,197
you can see what is depicted kind of a three-dimensional image on the opposite side of

505
00:57:35,197 --> 00:57:42,337
the breezeway the butterflies and birds and the artist did provide a letter of support

506
00:57:42,337 --> 00:57:49,537
from the building center so she did kind of secure that approval.

507
00:57:50,178 --> 00:57:58,578
Another mirror request after $5000 she owns a local hair salon near eight and Wilcox.

508
00:58:04,926 --> 00:58:12,400
Located on the south side of that building. While the blue yonder has

509
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:17,706
requested support of $5000 to complete a wing installation this kind of mockup that you

510
00:58:17,706 --> 00:58:25,279
see I believe the intent is so it could be placed outside their business as well as

511
00:58:25,279 --> 00:58:32,887
inside their business but their goals are basically to promote community engagement with the

512
00:58:32,887 --> 00:58:38,860
art as people visit Castle Rock and visit their establishment. Another similar wing project

513
00:58:38,860 --> 00:58:43,931
request came from the home to stay total requested for 5000 they would complete a winged

514
00:58:43,931 --> 00:58:49,804
mural installation kind of similar on their property or their structure at life at home

515
00:58:49,804 --> 00:58:57,111
and this led similarly to the project enhance community engagement coffee three Ãthree

516
00:58:57,111 --> 00:59:02,484
requested $5000. This was to support the construction and installation

517
00:59:02,484 --> 00:59:08,689
of a mental sculpture you can kind of see the image depicted in front of you.

518
00:59:08,689 --> 00:59:13,828
This would be created by a local artist same as Matthew and it would be composed of

519
00:59:13,828 --> 00:59:20,428
steel and aluminum. The Castle Rock police K-9 Association requested ranch

520
00:59:23,738 --> 00:59:29,977
support in the amount of $10,000 however the panel is recommending $5000 because they

521
00:59:29,977 --> 00:59:35,150
felt that the grant application aligned with the project grant category as opposed to the

522
00:59:35,150 --> 00:59:39,854
program grant category. The funding would go to supporting the creation of a

523
00:59:39,854 --> 00:59:44,993
bronzed sculpture called sit, stay and heal. This would be incorporated into

524
00:59:44,993 --> 00:59:52,400
a planned seating area near Perry Street and second Street and downtown Castle Rock.

525
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:59,600
>> Local artists requested $5000 to create a project called everyone is a artist.

526
00:59:59,607 --> 01:00:06,714
This would essentially create a little free library at Cantrell school.It would also allow

527
01:00:06,714 --> 01:00:14,514
residents to share access to these created materials and provide a community chalkboard

528
01:00:16,230 --> 01:00:23,765
and the community art gallery. These are our three programs recommended to support $4900.

529
01:00:23,765 --> 01:00:30,365
This would go towards supporting Republic concert series accessible to the

530
01:00:31,500 --> 01:00:34,909
community. The Castle Rock orchestra requested $500 to support a

531
01:00:34,909 --> 01:00:39,381
single concert that would be offered to the community of Castle Rock each year and then

532
01:00:39,381 --> 01:00:47,521
at last your request came from the arts project in the amount of $10,000 the programming for

533
01:00:47,521 --> 01:00:52,594
the team performing arts senior moving outreach classes an community exhibition that would

534
01:00:52,594 --> 01:00:58,266
all be free and accessible to the community as well. My apologies.

535
01:00:58,266 --> 01:01:04,939
The total budget impact the requested amount again does include that $10,000 request

536
01:01:04,939 --> 01:01:12,130
from the police Association that was recommended to be allocated to 5000 instead.

537
01:01:12,130 --> 01:01:18,753
You need the grant category requirement the total being recommended for approval this

538
01:01:18,753 --> 01:01:23,557
evening $58,190 the grants will be distributed again this summer and this was in the

539
01:01:23,557 --> 01:01:31,957
adopted 2026 budget through the public art fund so we have a couple of motions.

540
01:01:34,135 --> 01:01:39,140
Wanting to approve the proposed grant award that's presented an alternate motion as well.

541
01:01:39,140 --> 01:01:44,540
Happy to answer any question. >> Mr. Mayor, thank you.

542
01:01:45,798 --> 01:01:53,773
Great job on just working through the application process and presenting this it shows

543
01:01:53,773 --> 01:02:03,373
that there is a lot of interest really nice job putting everything together I do have

544
01:02:03,415 --> 01:02:08,354
some queasiness that I want to talk through. It's not directly attributed to

545
01:02:08,354 --> 01:02:13,225
the speed at which I eat my salad it might partially be that but I think this is

546
01:02:13,225 --> 01:02:21,267
something that we can work through it has just been kind of laying on my mind the idea

547
01:02:21,267 --> 01:02:29,667
of enhancing private businesses or even the private businesses are requesting the grants which

548
01:02:32,578 --> 01:02:41,578
could be directly impacting the area around their business to bring more attraction to their

549
01:02:42,988 --> 01:02:50,996
business walk me through that because the way I'm looking at it is that we are taking money

550
01:02:50,996 --> 01:02:59,396
from Castle Rock through your organization and granted that is through actual good projects

551
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:06,780
if you are considering but yet still taking that money to enhance businesses that could

552
01:03:06,780 --> 01:03:12,618
benefit whether it be your coffee shop or a mural on the side of the building.

553
01:03:12,618 --> 01:03:17,890
Help me through that piece of it because there seems to be a little little bit of a conflict

554
01:03:17,890 --> 01:03:23,162
there that I'm not so certain. >> I think that's a good

555
01:03:23,162 --> 01:03:27,299
question. I think the intense of the grant program initially were

556
01:03:27,299 --> 01:03:33,472
really just to provide those opportunities to local businesses or nonprofits or

557
01:03:33,472 --> 01:03:38,177
whomever right? To enhance their property with art.

558
01:03:38,177 --> 01:03:44,483
So I think it kind of stems back to earlier discussions. I think at one point Castle

559
01:03:44,483 --> 01:03:52,883
Rock residents were presented with the opportunity because we didn't want our money going

560
01:03:54,693 --> 01:03:58,630
outside of the Castle Rock community. I think the public art

561
01:03:58,630 --> 01:04:03,135
commission the art and culture to really define the social fabric so these types of

562
01:04:03,135 --> 01:04:11,535
installations the people on the public art commission are very passionate about culture but

563
01:04:13,450 --> 01:04:18,150
when you think of communities across countries that people love they are inherently

564
01:04:18,150 --> 01:04:25,950
created communities the created restaurants and art streams the Castle Rock special the

565
01:04:34,599 --> 01:04:40,239
community events because people love going out and experiencing that music, that culture.

566
01:04:40,239 --> 01:04:46,770
So I think that was the intent of these grant programs to kind of just help catalyze these

567
01:04:46,770 --> 01:04:53,686
opportunities the other side of these opportunities is that it's giving businesses kind of

568
01:04:53,686 --> 01:05:03,286
public funds to enhance the establishment the question is a valuable use of public funds in

569
01:05:07,599 --> 01:05:12,838
the public werecommission obviously believes it is you all set the tone .

570
01:05:12,838 --> 01:05:19,770
>> I think I could argue with myself that some of these areas just tend to be higher traffic

571
01:05:19,770 --> 01:05:26,819
by virtue of them being the higher traffic locations you give us a opportunity for

572
01:05:26,819 --> 01:05:30,823
people to get with you the projects. I would just recommend to be

573
01:05:30,823 --> 01:05:37,562
sure not that I am implying in any way whatsoever in this particular realm but I would

574
01:05:37,562 --> 01:05:46,380
just encourage very transparent process to make it very clear that we are not trying to pick

575
01:05:46,380 --> 01:05:50,942
winners and losers as far as the decision we are trying to sport in one way or another

576
01:05:50,942 --> 01:05:55,113
this is only transparency to the level of painful. I think that will help persuade

577
01:05:55,113 --> 01:05:57,849
may be some fears anybody might have.

578
01:05:57,849 --> 01:06:04,423
>> Yes definitely. Our panel did kind of put together a rubric.

579
01:06:04,423 --> 01:06:09,494
So when we went through and analyzed and assessed the application you know we were

580
01:06:09,494 --> 01:06:17,335
asking, we have a couple people on the panel and they are very adamant that we full heartedly

581
01:06:17,335 --> 01:06:24,810
think to be a good representative and because if you have to ultimately be

582
01:06:24,810 --> 01:06:27,810
accountable. >> And David followed by

583
01:06:29,470 --> 01:06:33,847
questions from councilmember Ryan Hollingshead before public comment.

584
01:06:35,220 --> 01:06:37,220
David? >> Councilmember Brooks,

585
01:06:37,956 --> 01:06:46,865
earlier, the mix of public good and private is not necessarily a new precedent in regards to

586
01:06:46,865 --> 01:06:52,265
some community expenditures. Preservation grant, money from the town.

587
01:06:54,539 --> 01:07:03,539
For faC'ade grants the improvements at the Masonic Temple at the CafC) they set th

588
01:07:06,584 --> 01:07:11,824
physical improvements on the faC'ade to help that business but also as a public good that

589
01:07:11,824 --> 01:07:21,424
we see as well. As Maia as indicated altered to way that public good as well.

590
01:07:22,868 --> 01:07:28,573
Thank you. >> Thank you David. Lex I do agree to a certain

591
01:07:28,573 --> 01:07:35,773
extent like some of these grants they benefit that whole building right?

592
01:07:37,916 --> 01:07:45,423
For example I go to copper Falls and they lock down the hallway.

593
01:07:45,423 --> 01:07:52,230
>> Man did you have a question? >> So, to Max's point that

594
01:07:52,177 --> 01:08:00,577
helps the whole community as some of the others are directly helping those businesses.

595
01:08:00,952 --> 01:08:09,952
My question is, out of all that we talked about I think 58,000, 68,000,63,000 , how much money

596
01:08:10,394 --> 01:08:16,434
do we have? Right now that we can offer in thesegrants ?

597
01:08:16,434 --> 01:08:21,339
>> We have up to $85,000 allocated to these grants. Last year we received 17

598
01:08:21,339 --> 01:08:26,739
applications but we only distributed about 35,000 and improved seven.

599
01:08:26,945 --> 01:08:35,120
So this year we did get a much higher quality of application and redistributing the funds

600
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:38,155
but we do have some additional funds. >> Okay.

601
01:08:38,155 --> 01:08:43,555
Thank you. >> I think there is not a lot

602
01:08:49,834 --> 01:08:59,834
of blank space they on that property but they are also going to maintain it once it's

603
01:09:01,790 --> 01:09:04,490
up. I will also have some skin in the game with it.

604
01:09:04,490 --> 01:09:08,720
When we put a sculpture like the bear up there we've got to maintain that forever so there

605
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:13,224
is a cost to that. We get a lot of bang for our buck I guess when we are asking

606
01:09:13,224 --> 01:09:16,824
people to own it. >> Councilmember Davis?

607
01:09:30,740 --> 01:09:34,945
>> Is it in the contract paying on somebody else's building that they may maintain?

608
01:09:34,945 --> 01:09:40,951
>> To implement grant agreements for the program. So our attorney office.

609
01:09:40,951 --> 01:09:45,990
It is kind of what they are delivering a service redefining those details within the

610
01:09:45,990 --> 01:09:51,896
agreement that are executed between the talent and grant application.

611
01:09:51,896 --> 01:09:57,296
Whatever the word is. Does that answer your question?

612
01:09:59,470 --> 01:10:04,274
>> The grant peace to get it done and the owner of the building is responsible for

613
01:10:04,274 --> 01:10:06,410
taking care. >> We also I think going

614
01:10:06,410 --> 01:10:11,315
forward just because these programs are new we don't want these projects to look bad in

615
01:10:11,315 --> 01:10:17,521
the future so at some point we may need to adjust the grant program to be available for

616
01:10:17,521 --> 01:10:21,993
maintenance but I think that is a question we will have to cross down the road.

617
01:10:21,993 --> 01:10:27,632
It is a great point though. >> Any further questions for

618
01:10:27,632 --> 01:10:34,232
Maia? >> I have one question for my and Dave and Caitlin.

619
01:10:35,380 --> 01:10:39,210
So, this is vetted through the business owner and building owner?

620
01:10:39,210 --> 01:10:46,410
>> Yeah. In some cases she applied and as the grant person applying

621
01:10:48,285 --> 01:10:58,285
the business owner like a artist applying to put a mural on a building and someone else

622
01:10:58,463 --> 01:11:04,869
we do require they provide site approval so we have a letter that is part of the Henry

623
01:11:04,869 --> 01:11:09,974
application giving them that permission to use his , to use that property.

624
01:11:09,974 --> 01:11:18,974
>> Thank you. David Caitlin one of the art is on a building that I occupy.

625
01:11:19,500 --> 01:11:26,724
I own a building that I do occupy I just want to make sure I want to make sure it's okay

626
01:11:26,724 --> 01:11:32,724
for me to go for it. >> The whole conflict of

627
01:11:34,365 --> 01:11:39,871
interest I think it is the whole perception issue may be do a motion to approve all of

628
01:11:39,871 --> 01:11:47,671
them except that one and then just so you don't have that perception.

629
01:11:49,546 --> 01:11:55,353
Because it really gets into that beginning question as to whether or not there is public

630
01:11:55,353 --> 01:12:05,353
benefit and also a private benefit it is probably a little bit of both.I don't think you

631
01:12:06,630 --> 01:12:12,570
are going to have a business because of a mural somebody may make that argument.

632
01:12:12,570 --> 01:12:19,977
It's probably better just to start off that way. To start a legal conflict

633
01:12:19,977 --> 01:12:25,377
because you are not financially benefiting. To my understanding.

634
01:12:29,921 --> 01:12:34,959
>> I appreciate that. I just want to make sure if it comes to a motion I will ask

635
01:12:34,959 --> 01:12:40,665
for that want to be excluded amending after. Councilmember Tim Dietz.

636
01:12:40,665 --> 01:12:47,865
>> TIM DIETZ: Was your follow-up process to make sure it's completely correct?

637
01:12:50,808 --> 01:12:55,946
>> We again work with the town attorney's office to execute grant agreements and then we

638
01:12:55,946 --> 01:13:05,856
kind of give them a lot of timeframe reporting at the end of that program so we have a

639
01:13:05,856 --> 01:13:11,128
reporting document that we will send to all of our applicants this year and next year and be

640
01:13:11,128 --> 01:13:17,534
happy to come back and present those supports to you all so we can really see the end results

641
01:13:17,534 --> 01:13:21,134
of the judgment. >> Questions from counsel.

642
01:13:30,381 --> 01:13:36,954
>> Seeing none if someone wishes to speak approach the podium and resident business

643
01:13:36,954 --> 01:13:45,354
owner. You have four minutes to speak. Seeing none we will go back to

644
01:13:46,764 --> 01:13:50,834
town Council for discussion and a possible motion.

645
01:13:50,834 --> 01:13:55,606
>> I would personally like to amend this motion I feel like we should give the 10,000 to

646
01:13:55,606 --> 01:14:04,606
police, they are already strapped for cash you know, Buttercup and all of the dogs

647
01:14:11,133 --> 01:14:17,472
in the community and I think it is a wonderful thing for us to be able to do that is something

648
01:14:17,472 --> 01:14:23,446
that's necessarily helping a business that's showing our commitment to Arkham Police

649
01:14:23,446 --> 01:14:28,550
Department and to those service dogs.I don't know how counsel feels about changing it back to

650
01:14:28,550 --> 01:14:35,491
the 10,000 but I would like to do that. >> MAYOR JASON GRAY: I think

651
01:14:35,491 --> 01:14:40,462
when it comes to time we can move the application of the following positions.

652
01:14:40,462 --> 01:14:45,201
I think that would be appropriate. And we list the following

653
01:14:45,201 --> 01:14:54,201
conditions without and with removing the cap for studios. If it comes to that motion.

654
01:14:59,281 --> 01:15:04,200
>> Of the money is not going to the dog program the money is going to the art program

655
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:08,857
associated with the dog program? I'm missing your point.

656
01:15:08,857 --> 01:15:14,857
See want to support the artwork or the dog program?

657
01:15:19,835 --> 01:15:26,975
>> I kind of have a similar feeling I love the idea it does feel a little bit like picking

658
01:15:26,975 --> 01:15:33,575
winners. I love art. But at the same time I think

659
01:15:40,989 --> 01:15:46,294
councilmember Halling had a good point that most of these have cost a lot more than a

660
01:15:46,294 --> 01:15:54,940
grant. With that we could do a motion with the applications in the

661
01:15:57,390 --> 01:16:04,239
following conditions. We may be willing to do that. Mayor pro tem?

662
01:16:16,825 --> 01:16:21,563
>> I moved to propose the following grant award. Place it at 10,000 where the

663
01:16:21,563 --> 01:16:31,163
sculptures and to remove the one, to remove desert jewel from the overall vote and make

664
01:16:34,309 --> 01:16:40,309
it a separate motion. >> We have a first from Mayor

665
01:16:40,382 --> 01:16:46,382
pro tem Laura Cavey. It further discussion, roll call vote.

666
01:16:46,855 --> 01:16:51,493
>> RYAN HOLLINGSHEAD: Yes. >> KEVIN BRACKEN: Yes. >> MARK DAVIS: Yes.

667
01:16:51,493 --> 01:16:55,363

668
01:16:55,363 --> 01:16:59,563
>> MAYOR JASON GRAY: Aye. >> Motion passes unanimously.

669
01:17:02,271 --> 01:17:06,475
>> MAYOR JASON GRAY: I moved to approve the desert jewel application.

670
01:17:06,475 --> 01:17:12,214
I will remove myself from the vote. Technically I'm supposed to

671
01:17:12,214 --> 01:17:18,814
leave the room. >> LAURA CAVEY, MAYOR PRO TEM: Roll call vote.

672
01:17:29,764 --> 01:17:35,164
>> RYAN HOLLINGSHEAD: Yes. >> KEVIN BRACKEN: Yes. >> MARK DAVIS: Yes.

673
01:17:37,505 --> 01:17:42,978

674
01:17:42,978 --> 01:17:46,214
>> LAURA CAVEY, MAYOR PRO TEM: Yes.

675
01:17:46,214 --> 01:17:52,814
>> Motion passes six Ãzero. >> MAYOR JASON GRAY: Thank you my ad.

676
01:18:00,996 --> 01:18:03,165
15. ORD 2026-019 Ordinance Repealing and

677
01:18:03,165 --> 01:18:07,169
Reenacting Chapter 2.01 of the Castle Rock Municipal Code Regarding

678
01:18:07,169 --> 01:18:13,169
the Conduct of Town Elections. >> Thank you Mayor and town

679
01:18:19,281 --> 01:18:26,121
Council. If you give me just a second I got to finish up this vote.

680
01:18:26,121 --> 01:18:31,827
Okay. Alright so I wanted to provide you a update on this provision

681
01:18:31,827 --> 01:18:41,427
to the election code the town attorney presented this at the last meeting for discussion and

682
01:18:42,137 --> 01:18:50,178
we are presenting it to you tonight for the first reading. So, just an overview we were

683
01:18:50,178 --> 01:18:57,378
replacing existing codes, the articles two through four currently addressed mail ballot

684
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:04,860
coordinated elections and article six and seven address election controversies these

685
01:19:04,860 --> 01:19:09,597
articles echo state law currently and we recommend adopted by reference rather

686
01:19:09,597 --> 01:19:17,997
than Ãagain in our code. We recommend adopting the two statutes what we currently

687
01:19:24,790 --> 01:19:28,216
refer to as title I which governs our regular elections that we coordinate with the

688
01:19:28,216 --> 01:19:32,554
County and title 31 governs any special elections that the town conducts.

689
01:19:32,554 --> 01:19:42,554
What I want to point out is that our town remains able to have our powers so anything

690
01:19:45,667 --> 01:19:52,107
that is in state statute that we don't want to adopt we have the ability to amend our code

691
01:19:52,107 --> 01:19:58,613
and not adopt those certain things. As a reminder we retain our

692
01:19:58,613 --> 01:20:04,319
role of the election commission we retain our nomination petition process and we are

693
01:20:04,319 --> 01:20:08,590
changing a couple of deadlines that they coincide with coordinating the election in

694
01:20:08,590 --> 01:20:13,505
the we added recording and independent expenditures which we did not

695
01:20:13,505 --> 01:20:20,579
have previously in our code and we are retaining the registration reporting for

696
01:20:20,579 --> 01:20:25,851
issue committee. We didhave to report , raise the reporting limit of the

697
01:20:25,851 --> 01:20:31,657
issue committees based on recent rulings that used to be 2500 and it is now 5000 that

698
01:20:31,657 --> 01:20:39,650
they don't have to report until they reached that $5000 level. We would still retain the

699
01:20:39,650 --> 01:20:43,736
ability to process the complaints by the town clerk's office.

700
01:20:43,736 --> 01:20:52,136
We also are proposing a new article which covers citizen petition this was previously

701
01:20:52,677 --> 01:20:59,685
just referenced in state statute and so anytime you have anyone of these petitions we

702
01:20:59,685 --> 01:21:08,494
would go to thestate statutes , the problem with that is every single petition has different

703
01:21:08,494 --> 01:21:13,565
formats for the petition. Theyhave different deadlines, they have different curing

704
01:21:13,565 --> 01:21:20,765
periods , they have different circulation periods so it's really confusing for citizens

705
01:21:21,106 --> 01:21:24,176
to put a petition on the ballot. A petition to get an item on

706
01:21:24,176 --> 01:21:33,176
the ballot.Doug is we bought those all into the code and standardize that process.

707
01:21:33,252 --> 01:21:41,594
That is what we call petition and home rule charter amendment, and mission ignition

708
01:21:41,594 --> 01:21:46,465
of ordinances and whatthey consider in a referendum. Those are the four types of

709
01:21:46,465 --> 01:21:50,536
petitions . That standardized process we added that we have a standard

710
01:21:50,536 --> 01:21:55,541
petition form that we will cover all four different types of petition we've set deadlines

711
01:21:55,541 --> 01:22:02,948
in the process. We added that the clerk provide the petition form previously if

712
01:22:02,948 --> 01:22:09,822
you have to go in and try to interpret statutes to create a form.

713
01:22:09,822 --> 01:22:14,893
There was a ton of back-and-forth because they wouldn't get it right, they

714
01:22:14,893 --> 01:22:18,300
wouldn't get the font size right. It's crazy all the different

715
01:22:18,300 --> 01:22:23,169
types of requirements there are for each petition. So we're just going to make it

716
01:22:23,169 --> 01:22:29,241
easy and provide the form for them and we have retained the specific requirements that are

717
01:22:29,241 --> 01:22:34,313
in our charter and we retain the fact that the town clerk determines the sufficiency for

718
01:22:34,313 --> 01:22:37,983
each petition. If the petitions are sufficient then they go to counsel to

719
01:22:37,983 --> 01:22:46,383
accept and move it here on the ballot. So you could adopt for instance

720
01:22:48,260 --> 01:22:51,797
and you agree that you could just approve and be done with it.

721
01:22:51,797 --> 01:22:59,871
If you don't agree with it you send it to a vote of the people.So this is just a

722
01:22:59,871 --> 01:23:03,875
summary of all the changes that were made. It is just a high level change.

723
01:23:03,875 --> 01:23:11,160
Most changes just reorganize the codes for ease of use and reference formatting and

724
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:19,157
consistency and terms. We added the adopting of title one and 31 statues that are

725
01:23:19,157 --> 01:23:23,962
already in our code. There are no changes to candidate petitions up for net

726
01:23:23,962 --> 01:23:29,340
financial reporting. We had a policy committee and expenditures definition and we

727
01:23:29,340 --> 01:23:34,172
added definitions and partial terms of town Council. We added standardized petition

728
01:23:34,172 --> 01:23:39,511
processes and we changed a couple of deadlines for arriving candidates and when we

729
01:23:39,511 --> 01:23:44,311
canceled elections to coincide with ballot certification timelines.

730
01:23:44,717 --> 01:23:50,522
Those are all of the changes in a nutshell but the entire code is basically removed and

731
01:23:50,522 --> 01:23:54,326
replaced with this new code. So the town clerk and town attorney recommend town Council

732
01:23:54,326 --> 01:24:00,326
to adopt the revised chapter t .01. Are there any questions?

733
01:24:01,666 --> 01:24:07,660
>> Any questions for Lisa and our staff? Okay then.

734
01:24:07,272 --> 01:24:12,672
This is the proposed motion. >> Thank you very much.

735
01:24:19,885 --> 01:24:24,823
I have no intent to speak if someone wishes to speak please switch the podium to

736
01:24:24,823 --> 01:24:28,893
microphone. Please state your name whether you are a resident, nonresident

737
01:24:28,893 --> 01:24:32,965
or business owner . Seeing none. We are back to town Council for

738
01:24:32,965 --> 01:24:35,965
a approximate motion to discussion.

739
01:24:36,340 --> 01:24:39,704
>> Moved to adopt the proposed. >> First by councilmember Dietz

740
01:24:39,704 --> 01:24:42,907
and second by councilmember Davis. For a discussion?

741
01:24:42,907 --> 01:24:46,445
That was a lot of words.Good job. Roll call vote please.

742
01:24:46,445 --> 01:24:50,645
>> CouncilmemberDavis, Council member Brooks . >>TIM DIETZ: Yes .

743
01:24:50,649 --> 01:24:54,853
>> MARK DAVIS: Yes.>> MAX BROOKS: Yes. >> KEVIN BRACKEN: Yes.

744
01:24:54,853 --> 01:24:58,724
>> LAURA CAVEY, MAYOR PRO TEM: Yes. >> MAYOR JASON GRAY: Yes X

745
01:24:58,724 --> 01:25:01,994
motion passes unanimously. >> This is approving the first

746
01:25:01,994 --> 01:25:09,668
amendment to the amended and we stated the agreement between the town of of Castle

747
01:25:09,668 --> 01:25:14,673
Rock and Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless for Communication Tower .

748
01:25:14,673 --> 01:25:19,100
>> Good evening Mayor and Council. Off the beaten path a little

749
01:25:19,100 --> 01:25:27,410
different.We've been approached by one of the companies spaced on one of our

750
01:25:29,688 --> 01:25:34,488
water tanks about doing a extended telecommunications lease.

751
01:25:36,295 --> 01:25:40,566
They originally wanted it in perpetuity and we ended up at 50 years.

752
01:25:40,566 --> 01:25:45,637
This is for tank three kind of located just off of fifth Street up on your driving east.

753
01:25:45,637 --> 01:25:55,237
You can see it up on the hill. Up their eyes were going towards Founders Parkway.

754
01:25:55,581 --> 01:26:01,720
So the idea is to convert with what they are currently doing. Since 1998 and just paying a

755
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:10,120
monthly fee to a one-time upfront payment of 1.1 to million for this 50 year lease

756
01:26:10,462 --> 01:26:20,620
using this prepaid function. The current lease as I said was put in place in 1998 and

757
01:26:21,147 --> 01:26:28,554
reviewed on a five year basis. The last renewal was in 2020 to and we will have to renew again

758
01:26:28,554 --> 01:26:33,159
in 2027. You can see the current lease rate with a little over $2500 a

759
01:26:33,159 --> 01:26:37,563
month. The automatic escalate at 3% per year obviously we have

760
01:26:37,563 --> 01:26:44,763
ongoing renewals and administrative oversight to make sure we are collecting the

761
01:26:44,771 --> 01:26:50,420
money and make sure that we are updating the leaseand working with them as we go forward .

762
01:26:50,420 --> 01:26:54,580
This amendment would really just put a 50 year lease in place.

763
01:26:54,580 --> 01:27:02,980
They would prepay it on the front and and continue their telecommunication operations as

764
01:27:05,424 --> 01:27:12,397
is under the basic same structure we have today. Obviously I know wireless and

765
01:27:12,397 --> 01:27:18,997
cell technology will involve over the years evolve over the years.

766
01:27:21,730 --> 01:27:30,249
There is all kinds of potential for other technology the way we kind of look at this is it does

767
01:27:30,249 --> 01:27:39,125
kind of decrease the risk of maybe not obtaining those lease payments over the long term.

768
01:27:39,125 --> 01:27:46,566
Obviously I'm sure the company doing this will make a lot of money or they probably wouldn't

769
01:27:46,566 --> 01:27:53,739
be doing this but if they prepay us now we secure that full economic value over the 50

770
01:27:53,739 --> 01:27:58,845
year timeframe. It is a little less than what we would get if we clicked

771
01:27:58,845 --> 01:28:07,245
these payments over 50 years but it is 1.1 to 5 million up front instead of 1.6 million

772
01:28:07,386 --> 01:28:16,763
over a 50 year time periods obviously they take on all of the risk so if cell phones go

773
01:28:16,763 --> 01:28:20,800
away and they no longer need cell phone towers that is there risk.

774
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:28,600
Their issue. It provides us with a little bit of financial certainty and

775
01:28:31,944 --> 01:28:35,981
reduces the administrative oversight that we have to view going forward.

776
01:28:35,981 --> 01:28:41,200
To be clear there are a couple of things important in the lease to do what they are

777
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:48,293
currently doing they are not allowed to disrupt the drinking water system or do things that

778
01:28:48,293 --> 01:28:53,299
are going to interfere with their operations but they are allowed to continue the

779
01:28:53,299 --> 01:28:58,236
sublease space on the power they currently have in place. If you kind of look at what one

780
01:28:58,236 --> 01:29:06,360
point 25 million looks like over a two-year timeframe our current borrowing interest rate

781
01:29:09,515 --> 01:29:13,853
is a to .54% it is about 3.9 million. Obviously that could be much

782
01:29:13,853 --> 01:29:19,859
higher depending on where we invest that money but I think more importantly it is

783
01:29:19,859 --> 01:29:26,198
immediate capital that we can put to work for the water supply and other things right

784
01:29:26,198 --> 01:29:30,836
now. Money that we need can be used for debt reduction of course as

785
01:29:30,836 --> 01:29:39,236
well and other things but I think it provides some immediate impact and that's

786
01:29:41,179 --> 01:29:50,779
what I have for you on this any questions on that? >> LAURA CAVEY, MAYOR PRO TEM:

787
01:29:54,326 --> 01:29:58,230
Just noting. I'm going to recuse myself from this boat as I work for

788
01:29:58,230 --> 01:30:01,901
Verizon. >> MAYOR JASON GRAY: I have one question.

789
01:30:01,901 --> 01:30:07,901
Not that it really matters that much but I'm curious.

790
01:30:09,642 --> 01:30:13,712
>> What that says to me is there probably going to make a lot of money off of this.

791
01:30:13,712 --> 01:30:18,917
From our perspective we provide some certainty on those lease payments now.As opposed to

792
01:30:18,917 --> 01:30:27,860
you know, and again they are taking on all the risk. In my lifetime, in the last 20

793
01:30:27,860 --> 01:30:36,860
years right? You look at cell phones and how they changed and all of the

794
01:30:38,370 --> 01:30:43,142
other technology. They are taking on that risk. Whether they will even be able

795
01:30:43,142 --> 01:30:53,142
to sublease the space or not I don't know. It will take a lot of years to

796
01:30:56,722 --> 01:31:01,560
collect that too thousand five dollars a month. >> MAYOR JASON GRAY: If someone

797
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:07,500
wishes to speak please approach the podium please state your name if you are a resident,

798
01:31:07,500 --> 01:31:11,703
nonresident or business owner you have four minutes to speak. Seeing none.

799
01:31:11,703 --> 01:31:16,108
We will go to town Council for a approximate motion and discussion.

800
01:31:16,108 --> 01:31:23,820
>> Moved to approve resolution TMP to 06 Ã27. >> MAYOR JASON GRAY: A first by

Resolution Approving Funding the Execution of Water Provider Agreement Amendment number 7

808
01:32:02,421 --> 01:32:06,458
Between the Town of Castle Rock and the Colorado Water Conservation

809
01:32:06,458 --> 01:32:11,130
Board for the Purchase of Additional Storage Space in the Chatfield Storage

810
01:32:11,130 --> 01:32:14,300
Reallocation Project Mark? >> MARK DAVIS: Thank you again

811
01:32:14,300 --> 01:32:18,771
Mayor and Council. This is a longtime project that we got involved in.

812
01:32:18,771 --> 01:32:24,443
This is actually a project that goes back to the late 1980s when they first started talking

813
01:32:24,443 --> 01:32:29,448
about reallocating storage space and the reservoir for drinking water storage as you

814
01:32:29,448 --> 01:32:33,258
guys probably know the reservoir was put in place for flood control.

815
01:32:33,258 --> 01:32:38,463
They will open up about 20,000+ acres for drinking water storage in the facility and we

816
01:32:38,463 --> 01:32:43,402
had a agreement in 2014 and modify the agreement again in 2018 to purchase the to

817
01:32:43,402 --> 01:32:53,200
thousand acre feet of storage. One of the best agreements we've done in a long time.

818
01:32:53,145 --> 01:32:58,830
We've got a 15 year timeframe from the Colorado water conservation Board to buy our

819
01:32:58,830 --> 01:33:05,356
2000 feet of storage and five years of deferments. We wouldn't have to pay

820
01:33:05,356 --> 01:33:08,693
anything. I know interest. And the only thing we have to

821
01:33:08,693 --> 01:33:17,569
do to use the space before we buy it, we have to pay $50,000, or $50 excuse me and acre.

822
01:33:17,569 --> 01:33:23,241
For a year. And we get to use the space until we actually purchase it

823
01:33:23,241 --> 01:33:28,380
and of course we just pay the operational costs which we would do anyways if we already

824
01:33:28,380 --> 01:33:34,185
owned it. So it's eventually been a 15 year no interest loan currently

825
01:33:34,185 --> 01:33:43,928
you can see where we are so invested about 6.89 million we have about 1150 to left to buy.

826
01:33:43,928 --> 01:33:51,690
We use all five deferments which means for the next nine years this will be in the

827
01:33:51,690 --> 01:33:56,107
budget for us to make our purchase. The price per allotment of 129

828
01:33:56,107 --> 01:34:03,907
acres is a little over $1.07 million so you can see the remaining cost.

829
01:34:08,286 --> 01:34:15,226
You can see the lease rate. Why storage lots of great regions of course.

830
01:34:15,226 --> 01:34:21,226
You can capture pre-river flows. We have water rights, junior

831
01:34:21,966 --> 01:34:26,837
water rights, senior water rights we flow right in the Chatfield we have additional

832
01:34:26,837 --> 01:34:36,437
senior water that flow in their obviously all of our reusable water supplies that we don't

833
01:34:36,714 --> 01:34:44,622
recollect automatically go down to Chatfield for us to use. We have lots of opportunities I

834
01:34:44,622 --> 01:34:49,327
think one of the exciting things there is two leases on the consent agenda tonight.

835
01:34:49,327 --> 01:34:59,327
A number of leases on May 19 we are going to have a record year probably in terms of lease

836
01:35:00,739 --> 01:35:05,142
revenue which is super exciting because we can't use that water yet.

837
01:35:05,142 --> 01:35:11,215
So if we can reset and make some revenue that will offset our cost for renewable water

838
01:35:11,215 --> 01:35:15,753
allows us again to partner with other entities up and down the front range.

839
01:35:15,753 --> 01:35:21,426
We have agreements that you guys made remember we sent water up in Weld County and now

840
01:35:21,426 --> 01:35:27,966
your cultural and for example related to our storage and in Chatfield reservoir there is

841
01:35:27,966 --> 01:35:33,400
lots of other reservoirs like that. One of the biggest long-term

842
01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:38,142
opportunities, the storage is a water going into Chatfield reservoir is extremely

843
01:35:38,142 --> 01:35:42,780
high-quality and by that I mean it is very low and total dissolved solids or salt.

844
01:35:42,780 --> 01:35:52,780
Salt is building up across the front range especially with the front creek because we use it

845
01:35:53,424 --> 01:36:03,424
on roads, we drink water and put that back in the screen. We put salt into the creek and

846
01:36:04,803 --> 01:36:09,600
it will help blend that down and just so you know salt is very hard to treat.You have

847
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:13,878
to use reverse osmosis which is very expensive. And then of course all

848
01:36:13,878 --> 01:36:19,840
flexibility we have a agreement with Denver water for example which allows us which allows us

849
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:25,222
to basically give them water and a reservoir that they have basically solved or treated

850
01:36:25,222 --> 01:36:33,231
with Parker water. So a lot of this water can be a very interesting fact.

851
01:36:33,231 --> 01:36:43,174
This is a dollar amount that's budgeted and I just wanted to briefly update you on the

852
01:36:43,174 --> 01:36:50,215
Chatfield pump back project. You guys know eventually we want to be able to pump the

853
01:36:50,215 --> 01:36:55,953
water directly out of Chatfield reservoir back to our reservoirs in Sedalia.

854
01:36:55,953 --> 01:37:04,562
We are about 20% of the design we've got to almost have our pipeline alignment nailed down

855
01:37:04,562 --> 01:37:09,533
it will be a pump station in the reservoir currently it looks like it will be on the

856
01:37:09,533 --> 01:37:14,739
southeast side there is kind of a campground over there that you guys might be aware of

857
01:37:14,739 --> 01:37:18,943
there will also be a intermediate booster pump station that will need to be

858
01:37:18,943 --> 01:37:26,743
built as well. We are making progress working with the Corps of Engineers.

859
01:37:26,784 --> 01:37:31,622
The only downside of this project is the current estimates depending on what

860
01:37:31,622 --> 01:37:37,610
final size we decide to put in place as we work from $85-$170 million.

861
01:37:37,610 --> 01:37:43,568
It is a big project. We currently have that scheduled down from the 2030s,

862
01:37:43,568 --> 01:37:50,410
hopefully the early 2030s. But it's going to take a lot to make that happen.

863
01:37:50,410 --> 01:37:53,410
Of course the recommended approvals.

864
01:37:54,379 --> 01:38:02,779
>> Any questions for Mark?>> MAYOR JASON GRAY: Seeing none. If anyone wishes to speak

865
01:38:04,122 --> 01:38:14,122
approach the podium state your name whether you are not a resident and if you are a

Number 18 18. RES 2026-069 Resolution Approving a

878
01:39:19,968 --> 01:39:23,568
ProfessionalServices Agreement with Dewberry Engineers incorporated

879
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:28,343
for the Young American Infrastructure Improvements Project .

880
01:39:28,343 --> 01:39:33,216
>> Thank you Mayor. One of the most important things that we do is replace

881
01:39:33,216 --> 01:39:38,186
and rehabilitate infrastructure as it ages. We don't want to be like some

882
01:39:38,186 --> 01:39:43,192
communities where they have not maintained their water infrastructure so we need that

883
01:39:43,192 --> 01:39:49,650
to invest heavily in this area and I think Castle Rock water will be ramping this type of

884
01:39:49,650 --> 01:39:53,336
work up even more in the coming years because this is really important.

885
01:39:53,336 --> 01:39:58,240
It got to replace all this infrastructure that reaches the end of a peaceful life that you

886
01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:06,916
can see here from the back just north of South Street you've got a high circle appear and

887
01:40:06,916 --> 01:40:11,953
eight top circle drive up on the top so this is the young American neighborhood

888
01:40:11,953 --> 01:40:20,762
essentially all the stuff was put in in the 1970s so over 50 years old essentially.

889
01:40:20,762 --> 01:40:27,870
Time to replace all of the infrastructure we've got a significant number of

890
01:40:27,870 --> 01:40:32,842
linebreaks and one of the challenges is when we built this infrastructure and put

891
01:40:32,842 --> 01:40:37,747
enough piles and so a lot of people end up being when we have to work in there and fix a

892
01:40:37,747 --> 01:40:41,517
leak. The other big issue is the pipes were not sized as you

893
01:40:41,517 --> 01:40:48,324
currently size them so they are all four and 6 inch pipe. We need our current desired

894
01:40:48,324 --> 01:40:53,162
pipe sizing for fire protection so this won't improve fire protection in this area as

895
01:40:53,162 --> 01:40:57,899
well. Which is really important to us we see the total amount of pipe

896
01:40:57,899 --> 01:41:06,299
we are talking about doing. So, this is actually the agreement we are bringing

897
01:41:07,420 --> 01:41:12,648
tonight I want to make sure you guys understand it is only $94,000 business I want to

898
01:41:12,648 --> 01:41:17,486
understand why we are bringing it and want to make sure you understand why we are bringing

899
01:41:17,486 --> 01:41:22,624
the total cost of the project. We identified some additional design work that needs to be

900
01:41:22,624 --> 01:41:27,730
done on this rehabilitation project before we did it there is a little bit on water but

901
01:41:27,730 --> 01:41:32,701
there is also as you guys know these rehab projects we partner with Dan's group and public

902
01:41:32,701 --> 01:41:39,975
works we don't want to do a bunch of rehabilitation and then come back several years

903
01:41:39,975 --> 01:41:48,183
later and redo the work roads. Why not redo the roads when we are doing this?

904
01:41:48,183 --> 01:41:55,690
So we always try to coordinate this as maximum as possible and that's what we've done.

905
01:41:55,690 --> 01:42:00,796
We were doing this project a couple ofyears ago essentially and we been waiting so we can

906
01:42:00,796 --> 01:42:05,634
get this on the schedule . There is some additional design work that public works needs

907
01:42:05,634 --> 01:42:10,839
job done with this associated with the sidewalks and the ADA requirements they are going to

908
01:42:10,839 --> 01:42:15,710
need to be able to increase the size of both sidewalks a little bit and go into the

909
01:42:15,710 --> 01:42:22,685
right-of-way and that is going to potentially impact some people's landscaping or

910
01:42:22,685 --> 01:42:26,922
irrigation systems or other things so we need some additional design work done to

911
01:42:26,922 --> 01:42:32,828
make sure that that is all understood and that we are in a good position to fully

912
01:42:32,828 --> 01:42:40,628
communicate what's going to happen with the customers. The additional design work or

913
01:42:42,838 --> 01:42:47,876
small contract about 94,000 you can see the split between public works and water.

914
01:42:47,876 --> 01:42:52,848
With this included the overall design would have been about 600-7000 this is a big rehab

915
01:42:52,848 --> 01:43:00,956
project so we are estimating on the order of maybe $9 million and 7+ for public works.

916
01:43:00,956 --> 01:43:05,661
Again a very big deal and a heavy lift. The idea is to get this design

917
01:43:05,661 --> 01:43:13,461
finished up and build the bid late this year into this project in 2027.

918
01:43:13,836 --> 01:43:19,836
Commission did recommend approvals as well. And that is it.

919
01:43:24,780 --> 01:43:28,283
>> This is the oldest that we have right now. There are others up-and-coming

920
01:43:28,283 --> 01:43:33,830
I'm guessing. >> This is some of the oldest

921
01:43:35,591 --> 01:43:39,595
we've got. We are really making good progress as you know we did a

922
01:43:39,595 --> 01:43:48,603
good project for example we did a project over on Gordon Drive in that neighborhood and it's

923
01:43:48,603 --> 01:43:55,811
often Gilbert and it is the subdivision down there on the east side.

924
01:43:55,811 --> 01:44:04,811
And so yeah, we are working through rehab and replacement projects to hit these older

925
01:44:06,222 --> 01:44:10,422
pieces of infrastructure for the public safety.

926
01:44:11,326 --> 01:44:15,798
>> These can be ongoing for a little while so people understand the process of these

927
01:44:15,798 --> 01:44:22,998
things can get less expensive, more expensive as time goes on correct?

928
01:44:23,405 --> 01:44:28,444
>> They are going to get more expensive and they are disruptive.

929
01:44:28,444 --> 01:44:36,844
They obviously have to tear up the road. The reward is safe and renewed

930
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:41,657
infrastructure. And people run the risk of having outages in their

931
01:44:41,657 --> 01:44:50,537
neighborhood or problems. And we try to do the roads at the same time which ultimately

932
01:44:50,537 --> 01:44:56,409
ends up being a good things that we are hopefully not disturbing residence multiple

933
01:44:56,409 --> 01:45:01,810
times once for roads than once for water.

934
01:45:01,810 --> 01:45:08,821
>> Any questions from Mark? >> TIM DIETZ: Only houses in the 70s like you are kind of

935
01:45:08,821 --> 01:45:14,221
working on certain areas. >> The philosophy we use really

936
01:45:17,729 --> 01:45:23,503
is to try to target the areas that are costing us the most money try to minimize the cost

937
01:45:23,503 --> 01:45:32,450
of these assets and we are looking at water leaks, AIDS, type of material, size, that is

938
01:45:32,450 --> 01:45:39,845
a important material to improve fire protection in the neighborhood but the bottom

939
01:45:40,987 --> 01:45:46,359
line is it is a host of criteria and we have a rehabilitation replacement plan

940
01:45:46,359 --> 01:45:54,199
in place that identifies the neighborhoods in the areas that we are going to hit overtime.

941
01:45:54,199 --> 01:45:59,538
And you will see this in our annual budget every year where we have projects scheduled in

942
01:45:59,538 --> 01:46:01,607
to go in and do this kind of work.

943
01:46:01,607 --> 01:46:08,748
>> Most of the work is in the street some of them how to tie into the water meter.

944
01:46:08,748 --> 01:46:16,355
>> We do all of the tie ends. We tried going back in. But yes the work is in the

945
01:46:16,355 --> 01:46:22,561
street. So we will reconnect their service line coming off in the

946
01:46:22,561 --> 01:46:27,500
main for water. And for sewer, we try to do even though the sewer lateral

947
01:46:27,500 --> 01:46:36,376
is owned by the customer we will try to replace the sewer laterals as well and give them

948
01:46:36,376 --> 01:46:42,214
to the edge of pavement or close to the edge of pavement so they don't have to later

949
01:46:42,214 --> 01:46:49,414
replace them the sewer lateral under the pavement. >> MAYOR JASON GRAY: Any

950
01:46:54,326 --> 01:47:01,934
further questions from Mark? Seeing none.Anyone who wishes to speak please approach the

951
01:47:01,934 --> 01:47:06,673
podium and speak into the microphone please state your name and whether you are a

952
01:47:06,673 --> 01:47:10,876
resident, nonresident or business owner you have four minutes to speak.

953
01:47:10,876 --> 01:47:15,470
Seeing none. We are back to town Council for emotion and discussion.

954
01:47:15,470 --> 01:47:20,860
Mayor pro tem. >> LAURA CAVEY, MAYOR PRO TEM: I know they probably Artie know

955
01:47:20,860 --> 01:47:29,228
this but there has obviously been a lot of questions around a lot of the ADA stuff to then

956
01:47:29,228 --> 01:47:38,828
look perfectly fine questions about it and phone calls we are already aware at this point

957
01:47:42,441 --> 01:47:48,480
will we do a project that we need to communicate really well with the community so that they

958
01:47:48,480 --> 01:47:53,452
understand what we are doing I got accused of wasting taxpayer money and all kinds of fun

959
01:47:53,452 --> 01:47:57,657
things. So I'm just being overly cautious here after what

960
01:47:57,657 --> 01:48:05,457
happened in my neighborhood. >> I think the customer outreach portion of this is

961
01:48:07,433 --> 01:48:11,604
really the most important piece of this contract we are bringing tonight.

962
01:48:11,604 --> 01:48:16,609
We really need Ãa big part of this design, as I understand is to identify what we actually

963
01:48:16,609 --> 01:48:23,549
need to do for these locations where we have to widen those sidewalks so that we can

964
01:48:23,549 --> 01:48:28,554
obviously fully communicate with customers what's going to happen so that there is not

965
01:48:28,554 --> 01:48:30,856
surprises. >> I was just going to quickly

966
01:48:30,856 --> 01:48:38,656
add, in addition to those discussions who've also sought to improve our communication

967
01:48:41,340 --> 01:48:47,907
with residents when this work is happening they stepped up the language in the notice is

968
01:48:47,907 --> 01:48:53,980
that we hang on doors and mail to property owners. We have a really good

969
01:48:53,980 --> 01:48:59,351
articulation about why we may be having to change sidewalks that look like they're in

970
01:48:59,351 --> 01:49:07,151
perfectly good shape but based upon our measurements with the America disability act

971
01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:13,265
requirements they have to be changed or as Mayor pro tem and I had the discussion we

972
01:49:13,265 --> 01:49:19,672
susceptor ourselves to substantial liability and the district court judge telling us

973
01:49:19,672 --> 01:49:24,677
we've got to do this townwide or at once. So at a very strong practice

974
01:49:24,677 --> 01:49:30,916
when we touched streets with maintenance work and something like this rebuilding the

975
01:49:30,916 --> 01:49:39,316
streets we want to put in sidewalks, sidewalks are important safety on and then

976
01:49:40,560 --> 01:49:45,531
they have to be done in coordination with the Americans of disabilities act or we are

977
01:49:45,531 --> 01:49:50,669
going to have that substantial liability. We try and get the word out.

978
01:49:50,669 --> 01:49:55,674
I have the same questions when it happened in my neighborhood because we get out and walk and

979
01:49:55,674 --> 01:50:01,674
they are like what's wrong with this? It's almost imperceptible.

980
01:50:02,114 --> 01:50:07,186
But if the slope is wrong and individuals having to use a wheelchair isn't able to make

981
01:50:07,186 --> 01:50:15,586
mobility we get and all of these discussions. That may be the point, they

982
01:50:16,962 --> 01:50:22,802
can't with the you wheelchair use that. I've had those discussions.

983
01:50:22,802 --> 01:50:29,402
I've had those discussions with neighbors. You've had them as well.

984
01:50:30,175 --> 01:50:35,140
We have to get the word out and educate people about why we're having to do that.

985
01:50:35,140 --> 01:50:39,986
And we want to make sure that we are using all of the tax dollars wisely we've got to

986
01:50:39,986 --> 01:50:45,257
continue to look at that. >> LAURA CAVEY, MAYOR PRO TEM: This is no criticism whatsoever

987
01:50:45,257 --> 01:50:51,300
it's just, I think people really truly didn't understand what we were doing and what the

988
01:50:51,300 --> 01:50:55,167
requirements were .I think in this case we learned a little something right?

989
01:50:55,167 --> 01:51:01,194
And so this time when we go in to do it in this particular neighborhood or whatever comes

990
01:51:01,194 --> 01:51:06,599
next week and may be over communicate a little bit more so we are not being accused of

991
01:51:06,599 --> 01:51:11,399
wasting taxpayer money. >> I moved to approve the

992
01:51:15,608 --> 01:51:16,809
resolution. >> Second.

993
01:51:16,809 --> 01:51:23,783
>> MAYOR JASON GRAY: First from councilmember Kevin Bracken and second from Council member

994
01:51:23,783 --> 01:51:26,986
Brooks. And a discussion by councilmember Tim Dietz.

995
01:51:26,986 --> 01:51:32,825
>> TIM DIETZ: Just real quick for all ofthose working , consult your insurance

996
01:51:32,825 --> 01:51:39,298
professionals and really look at lots assessment coverage and these things from your house as

997
01:51:39,298 --> 01:51:46,706
the names come up. It is very expensive and covers anything connects to your house

998
01:51:46,706 --> 01:51:55,106
I recommend you ask. In this day and age. >> MAYOR JASON GRAY: There is

999
01:51:56,282 --> 01:52:02,882
no such thing as over communication . No matter how much we

1000
01:52:05,124 --> 01:52:10,630
communicate we are going to get people saying they never heard from water or never heard from

1001
01:52:10,630 --> 01:52:14,100
public works were never heard from us. And so we just keep saying it.

1002
01:52:14,100 --> 01:52:22,675
Also,this neighborhood , it's even more important on parts of this neighborhood if we are

1003
01:52:22,675 --> 01:52:30,316
going to discontinue having a sidewalk on both sides and both parts of the neighborhood and

1004
01:52:30,316 --> 01:52:38,491
it's going to probably upset a lot of people in the neighborhood so I think

1005
01:52:38,491 --> 01:52:41,961
communication is key. Thank you.With that, roll call vote.

1006
01:52:41,961 --> 01:52:47,361
>> RYAN HOLLINGSHEAD: Yes. >> KEVIN BRACKEN: Yes. >> MARK DAVIS: Yes.

1007
01:52:47,867 --> 01:52:51,571
>> MAX BROOKS: Yes. >> LAURA CAVEY, MAYOR PRO TEM: Yes.

1008
01:52:51,571 --> 01:52:56,843
>> MAYOR JASON GRAY: Aye. Thank you. I will read number 19 and 20

1009
01:52:56,843 --> 01:53:02,843
together but we will put them on separately.19. RES 2026-070

1017
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:44,557
>> Thank you again Mayor and Council. The first part of this is

1018
01:53:44,557 --> 01:53:49,280
certainly good news. We are moving forward with the property purchase of the to and

1019
01:53:49,280 --> 01:53:56,903
and a half acre lot we need to build the lift station. So we had a temporary license

1020
01:53:56,903 --> 01:54:00,907
in place with the property owner while we finalize the purchase.

1021
01:54:00,907 --> 01:54:10,907
You can see and read located. This map also shows all of the properties that we are going to

1022
01:54:11,584 --> 01:54:20,593
need so we may come back but the bottom line is you already know about the project.

1023
01:54:20,593 --> 01:54:27,633
We've talked a number of times about the requirements you can see 11 permanent temporary.

1024
01:54:27,633 --> 01:54:35,975
There is potentially two pieces of property for purchase this is one of the first ones there

1025
01:54:35,975 --> 01:54:45,975
may be more and this is 90 and a half acre site the lift station has already started I'm

1026
01:54:46,850 --> 01:54:51,240
happy to say about the length. Then this is the breakdown of the cost the cost of the

1027
01:54:51,240 --> 01:54:55,394
property there is also the cost to the easement and access the easement for the pipe and of

1028
01:54:55,394 --> 01:55:02,902
course temporary to get all of this build. Then there is three other minor

1029
01:55:02,902 --> 01:55:12,902
things.Both needed to do in accordance with that and the total at the bottom you guys

1030
01:55:23,220 --> 01:55:27,930
all know the funding piece of this. We filed 1.3 million budgeted

1031
01:55:27,930 --> 01:55:32,965
for easement and company acquisition. We see here the construction

1032
01:55:32,965 --> 01:55:36,703
ongoing. The last water commission meeting as well.

1033
01:55:36,703 --> 01:55:43,610
It was well received and commissions general supported. And that is that would.I'm

1034
01:55:43,610 --> 01:55:52,318
going to go ahead and go on to the next what if it's okay. Back to back.

1035
01:55:52,318 --> 01:55:59,258
I want to explain a little bit with this would you guys have already ÃI want to be sure you

1036
01:55:59,258 --> 01:56:06,458
guys have already approved essentially approve this ordinance we did consult with

1037
01:56:12,672 --> 01:56:17,610
outside counsel on debated property acquisition and recommended basically that we

1038
01:56:17,610 --> 01:56:23,449
re-adopt or abet those ordinances just make sure we were being consistent with how

1039
01:56:23,449 --> 01:56:33,449
the law works if we need to go forward and make sure that there is no minor little issues

1040
01:56:37,663 --> 01:56:42,935
that causes problems one of the key issues as we have to make sure the property descriptions

1041
01:56:42,935 --> 01:56:48,874
are in the ordinance we adopted and they were not the ordinance that we adopted on the fifth

1042
01:56:48,874 --> 01:56:53,779
and 19th you want to come back and make sure those were in this ordinance as we go

1043
01:56:53,779 --> 01:56:58,217
forward. So this is just a high level of where we are at we had said

1044
01:56:58,217 --> 01:57:03,890
Fido offers to be clear all the properties except three so we decide what today is about

1045
01:57:03,890 --> 01:57:13,890
artifact so that's good three properties that we are working on we set Fido offers with the

1046
01:57:15,587 --> 01:57:21,593
deadline of Judy to the property owners I do want to report we are running well.

1047
01:57:21,593 --> 01:57:25,730
We are very close we have the property to keep. That what is very close to

1048
01:57:25,730 --> 01:57:31,770
being done. Add also black paw is also very close to being done.

1049
01:57:31,770 --> 01:57:38,970
But the keep is really really close. If we don't reach agreement,

1050
01:57:42,214 --> 01:57:47,919
that we would come back and put these out items first hearing on June 16 and I want to be

1051
01:57:47,919 --> 01:57:54,559
clear about something it is not your final decision. Jude succeeds should be your

1052
01:57:54,559 --> 01:57:59,497
final decision. We have the ability to say no we are not doing that it we are

1053
01:57:59,497 --> 01:58:05,904
going to proceed. Let's see, this is just the separate good of where we are.

1054
01:58:05,904 --> 01:58:13,846
I just want to again make it clear that I is not the final bill of this we get to look at

1055
01:58:13,846 --> 01:58:22,687
this again on 16 June. Hopefully we are not going to have to go back to that.

1056
01:58:22,687 --> 01:58:28,660
I do want to budget Alexander family properties that property is a fairly small piece of

1057
01:58:28,660 --> 01:58:33,799
property. A number of easements across the Eddie of her prevented that

1058
01:58:33,799 --> 01:58:39,300
there is another property we are probably going to buy which we are probably going to try to

1059
01:58:39,300 --> 01:58:46,545
buy that property we think that's what the property owner wants us to do so hopefully now

1060
01:58:46,545 --> 01:58:51,483
that we've kind of made that decision had moved in that direction will be able to get

1061
01:58:51,483 --> 01:58:59,283
doubt as well. And this is the schedule. Our recommendation as we go

1062
01:59:04,663 --> 01:59:08,500
would do this today we recommend to do something on June 16.

1063
01:59:08,500 --> 01:59:12,637
>> MAYOR JASON GRAY: Mayor pro tem. >> LAURA CAVEY, MAYOR PRO TEM:

1064
01:59:12,637 --> 01:59:22,637
The last three we are having any issues with I mean, until we have it side there's always

1065
01:59:26,385 --> 01:59:29,721
a chance. I feel like our team feels really good about black paw at

1066
01:59:29,721 --> 01:59:34,660
the keep. Got red light back on the easement documents.The price

1067
01:59:34,660 --> 01:59:41,860
essentially think has been a great thing. The Alexander Ridge property is

1068
01:59:49,441 --> 01:59:54,346
a small piece of property I think it may be the one that is a little bit of the question

1069
01:59:54,346 --> 02:00:01,286
not because I don't believe at this point there is necessarily a dispute on the value of the

1070
02:00:01,286 --> 02:00:06,958
property is just been hard to get communication and keep things moving.We are going to

1071
02:00:06,958 --> 02:00:12,664
work really hard on it. We've been calling them almost every day trying to keep this

1072

moving forward. And you know I think we are open to working with them on

1073
02:00:16,802 --> 02:00:20,439
that in purchasing the property. Instead of just management.

1074
02:00:20,439 --> 02:00:25,839
Significant additional cost I might add. Significantly more expensive.

1096
02:02:23,628 --> 02:02:28,990
is a main area that we really want to do right or look into the future.

We may see a whole hum but everyone here is working all the time.

I think we've always said it before we have the best water in the state.

And I don't think anybody can be us for the upkeep of where we are going.
