Do solemnly declare and affirm that I will support the Constitution, that I will support the Constitution, of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Colorado, the country of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Colorado, the Constitution of the United States.

They got a hear you on the online version of this. Oh, sure. Yes, I was going to say thank you very much. You addressed us here at Council. Yeah. Thank you very much and I'm excited to get started and start serving. All right, thank you for your willingness to serve. And just so everybody's sense that we have a good audience tonight, this is your chance to apply for commissions and boards that are available. So please do that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. So we removed 4B and we did that because the person, the people that want to bring that proclamation or not available tonight will do that in the future. Next, I have a few people sign up to speak on matters not on the agenda. Let me pull that up real quick. Actually, there's two people sign up to speak on matters not on the agenda. The remainder of the people sign up to speak are items coming up on the agenda. Just make sure. Which one is this one? Oh, okay. I'm going to figure it out. I'm going to figure out the one. I'm going to figure it out. What is that? Okay. All right. First person to send it to speak is Mike Boutwell. So come on up, Mike. State your name for the record. and you'll have three minutes. Talk about that. My name is Michael Boutwell. 353 North 10th Avenue Brighton Colorado. Or as I call it, the social republic of Brighton, Colorado, or as I call it, the social Republic of Brighton. First, my agenda is my first amendment rights are being deprived. When you cut me from five minutes to three minutes, you're denying me my right to free speech. Second of all, your RO plant is a Ponzi scheme, reverse Ponzi scheme. You're making us pay for something that we're not even going to be able to use for the future people of this town. The third one is imminent domain. I'm forced by the city to rebut when I put in my new fence, the back set at 18 inches. Nobody in the first edition adheres to that ordinance. The fourth one is your road signs. You have you're reducing the speed limit in this town from 30 miles an hour to 35 miles. Do you really think that the people in this town adhere to those speed limit signs? Some of them do, but not all. My fourth one is I will not have my integrity questioned by a servant of the city. I will not be called a liar by Matt Domenico. When you write a complaint, put by me, you get it down right or you don't put it down. And when I'm told that I told a person that he was a certain ethnic group, which was not a national, he was a nationality rather than an ethnic group, I told that to the cop. I did not tell that to the man. Even though he attacked me in the parking lot of King Supers, I will not tolerate this reverse discrimination in this town. Because I'm tired of it. I'm tired of being attacked on my street. Remember the 2018 when I brought that to the City Council about those two guys attacking me on the street and all the city did was nothing. One minute. I just think that we need to pay attention to what's going on in our world. Because this is not going to, it's going to get worse, it's going to get worse, and it's going to get worse. Because in this town, I've seen it change over the last 16 years. I've seen this become not a free city, but a suburb of Denver, bringing all of Denver's problems to us. And I'm seeing the whole change. I've seen more people that I'd never saw before in my life in this town. And I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is. But I refuse to sit down and take it like I was supposed to. It's like I have from the city for so long. And it's time for people to stand up and say something about what's going on. I'm just tired of, I've been attacked four times in this team. Thank you, Mr. Bowell. Thank you. Next person signed at speak is Tom Lampo. Come on up Tom and state your name. You'll have three minutes. Hello. It's good to be back in front of Brighton. I'm Tom Lampo. And today is September 17th, 2024. We're just a few days past September 11th. It was April 30th of 1789, where President, or George Washington, placed his left hand on the Bible, raised his right hand, and took the oath of office of the first president of our United States. The Bible was turned chapter 49 of Genesis, chapter where the covenant between God and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is being transferred to the next generation. After the swearing in ceremony, our President Washington, the Vice President and members of Congress walked down to St. Paul's Chapel and participated in Worship Service and Prayer. Their President Washington made a covenant between God and this nation and God stating he will be our God and we will be his people. Our God is covenant-keeping God and that covenant is still valid today. And the chapel where that covenant was made is less than a hundred yards away from the World Trade Center and it still remains. And because that covenant was made in New York City, New York City is a spiritual battleground. So I'm here to lift up bright and in prayer. So please join me in prayer. Heavenly Father in Jesus Christ's precious name we invite you here to brighten to be our God and we will be your people. You're a covenant God. Psalm 8934 states, my covenant will I not break nor alter the thing that has gone out of my mouth. You cannot break your word. We will transgress against you and you will still honor your end of the agreement. You are a patient God. Father, I want to lift up to you all members of the Brighton community who are feeling uneasy about the times that we are in and the election in front of us. We don't deal with uncertainty well. In Philippians 4, 6 through 7 you state, do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your request to God and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Help us to trust in your words, show us how to release the situations that cause us anxiety and not desire to take them back. You understand us and you know it is not easy. It is not our nature. Be patient with us and grant us your peace. In your precious name we pray. Amen. Thank you guys and have a nice night. Thank you Tom. Next, Jane Smith. Come on up Jane. Oh, Jan, it looked like it says Jane on here. So I just show your sign up to speak. So come on up and state your name for the record you got three minutes I don't want to speak until we hear the ordinance on the utility. There's no ordinance about utility billing About utility rates Is there You got three minutes so go ahead I don't want to speak if they and tell you hear what they're doing and I put on there. It's the ID 24924 Not about rates Utility fees and rates Yeah point of order your honor says utility rates on the agenda and eight a says an ordinance of the City Council of the City of right and Colorado Amending articles 313 and 14 of the Brighton Municipal Code relating to impact fees and utility rates. All right. I want to wait till I see what goes on with that. That's fine. I was advised otherwise. We'll move on. We'll move on to that point. Next item on the agenda is item 7A. An ordinance of the City Council of City Brain Colorado approving the sale of and conveyance. Of certain city owned real property and authorizing the city manager to execute and deliver the deed and any documents associated with the sale. City Manager Martinez. Thank you Mayor. For some reason my computer just shut down on me. At this time I will ask our Utilities Director to come up and present this item. Thank you. Good evening, Mayor Mayor Pro Tem and members of City Council. This item before you tonight, if you recall, was brought to you during an executive session. It's related to approximately a five acre parcel. It's a portion of a larger parcel that was dedicated to the city. It's part of a water dedication. The subject property is on the screen now. It's the one highlighted in that turquoise color there. The neighbor would like to purchase that property from the city. We do have plans for the larger parcel to become an infiltration pond for water rights return flows. But because of the location of the turquoise portion of that parcel, it's really unusable for the purpose of the city got the property for it to begin with. So the neighboring property on a approach just and would like to purchase that. We did have discussions on that during the executive session. And the price that we had agreed on was $31,500 and now we are just asking to approve the purchase and sale for that. Okay. Anyone have questions on council? If not, go ahead and make a motion. Council member Green. Can we just elaborate of where we came to that $31,000 figure? Sorry, we'll repeat that. the new new new new new new new new new We wanted to recover our $1,500. And basically we determined that because it's not useful to the city that we wanted to recover some money from it. So we spoke with you all and that was the number that we arrived at. And what did the appraisal say? The appraisal said that I don't recall the exact figure on it. It was somewhere around $100,000. that we would go with the lower cost. Any anybody else? Mayor Proton. Thank you. I'll move item seven a. All right. The motion to move item seven a. We have a motion to move item seven a. We have a motion to move item seven a. We have a motion to move item seven a. We have a motion to move item seven a. I'm sorry. Mayor Pratton. Thank you. I'll move item 7a. All right. We have a motion to move item 7a and then council member today. Thank you, Mayor. I'll second that. We have a first and second. There's no questions. We'll call the... the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the Monday, and articles three, 13 and 14 of the Brighton Municipal Code relating to impact fees and utility rates. City manager Martinez. Thank you, Mayor. This is a final reading of the ordinance. Staff is available for questions, but we do not have any additional presentations at this time. Thank you. That's because we talked about this in our study session. This is actually a second. We've had an initial presentation all about. So we'll call up Jan Smith that sign up to speak on this And you'll have three minutes Please state your name when you come to the mic Hi, my name is Janice Smith. I'm a property owner and brighten We have a fourplex over in Walnut Street And the last three months our sewer bills have been I'm a property owner in Brighton. We have a fourplex over on Walnut Street. And the last three months, our sewer bills have been higher than our water bills. And they're charging us sewer rates according to how much water we use. Well, we have a big lawn there. And we keep it green. We keep it looking nice. And never in the past have we had to pay those kind of sewer rates. They would figure it out in the winter months, how much water that we were using and according to that, then that's what they would charge during the rest of the year. That's how they do the residential homes and everything. And so I have just been talking to your staff about reconsidering that because we either have to raise our rents or we have to let it grow to weeds because our bills have been $700 per month on those, which like I said, I'm not fighting the water bill because I realize we're watering and that's what it runs. So I don't know whether the staff came to the mother conclusions from that that they were going to not charge those high fees. That's why I thought they were going to address this before I had to speak. And Brighton has a lot of dead lawns in it. And you're always wanting us to keep rent slow. When we try to, we've owned this property for 22 years. We've had the same people in their rent team for a long time. But we've got to either, like I said, raise your rents or figure out something on these sewer fees. So I hope you can reconsider how they're figured. And staff address the concerns? City Manager Martinez? Sure. I'll address it and Scott can add to it. Although the concern that she's expressing tonight isn't dealt with in the current ordinance that you're contemplating, staff has been discussing her concern and we will be bringing back to you a bit of clean up language that does address her concern, which I think will be favorable to her as well. So, not for tonight's discussion, but in the future we will be bringing back something, or we will be working through the issue, we won't be bringing back anything to you but we will be cleaning up the definition issue that's causing the problem. Thanks. City Attorney Cullerone, did you have some to add to that? You're reaching for the mic. Thank you Mayor. I believe this is what our director of utilities was planning to say. So in the cleanup as you recall we changed the definitions for a single family to call it residential. And what will be happening in the fee resolution is we will be addressing residential separately from commercial, separately from industrial. And so in the fee resolution, you will be able, that's where you will see that a fourplex will be treated as residential and will receive residential rates. And what residential rates mean is what she was describing, they take the winter average of water usage instead of the actual water usage, which commercial for wastewater uses actual. Okay, thank you for but I'm that Scott. I don't know that I need to add anything further to that now. Unless there's any questions. Okay. This item is before council. May we put them. Thank you. I'll move item 8A. Councilmember Green. Mayor, I will second that. We have first and second. We have councilmember Johnson want to speak. Thank you mayor. I once again will be voting no on this. The idea that this won't raise water rates is not a truth. This will raise water rates because the developer will, any new development that comes in will have to pay more for water because of our definitions. Also, we are now handing over wastewater impact fees in page two, number two, like I've said before in the previous meeting, wastewater impact fees, a fee charge on per connection basis, which is charged by the city on behalf of metro, water recovery or the town of Locke Booy. So we are handing over the ability for the town of Locke Booy and our the Locke Booy sewer board to judge whether we are charging the right costs for wastewater for half of our city, over half of our city. There's a lot of other issues with this, and I noticed that you all voted, I believe it was eight to one last time, and I think it will be again, not here to grandstand. I just want the public to know this is the, just another time where your water weights are going to be increased if you come into the city of Brighton based on this document. Whatever said is not not a fact. I can show you again and again but I'm the one vote once again trying to keep the water rates low. Thanks. Any other discussion? Roll call vote. Motion passes 72. the city council. The city is a city council. The city council is a city council. The city council is a city council. The city council is a city council.

City manager Martinez. Thank you Mayor. As we have been discussing, we are currently embarking on the potential design and expansion of Sable Boulevard. One of the key pieces to that expansion is the intersection of 136th in Sable. Tonight in front of you is the opportunity to purchase the property located on the southeast corner of 136th in Sable. This is a key property for that expansion and overall widening project for the corridor. As you'll see in the staff report, the current list price is $690,000. And the total amount with all transaction costs, professional services, and the cost of property would not exceed $740,000. So tonight we are asking for your approval to purchase this property. Staff is available for questions, thank you. Questions for staff? If not, this is before you for consideration. Councilmember Poloski. Thank you Mayor. I'd like to move for approval of item 98. 9A 9A 9A thank you. So, Member Fiddler. I'm sorry the Councilmember Poloski beat me to the motion but all the second We have first and second to approve 9 a there's no other discussion roll call vote Motion passes 9 to 0 and Then next item 9b a resolution of the city council the Brighton Colorado, approved in the purchase of real property located at the corner of Tower Road in Southern Street and authorizing the City Manager to execute documents related there to on behalf of the city. City Manager Martinez. Thank you, Bear. I am going to ask Travis Haynes to come up and present this item quickly. Again, this is another property acquisition that we have been discussing in executive session. Travis will give you a quick overview of the parcel and the details of the transaction. Thank you, Michael. Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, members of council. As Michael said, this was brought to you during an executive session. The parcel location is at the intersection of Bromley Lane and South 40th Avenue or Tower Road. It is the one that is in the light green down here. The city currently owns the parcel to the north except for this piece in the northeast corner. That is a United Power station and we also own the little corner piece down here. The parcel is approximately seven and a half acres in size. It sits by down in here. It's the lighter brown color and this is the other piece, the city owns. We are currently in design for some sports fields on the piece to the north on those 34 acres. This would give us the opportunity to expand in the future with a lot of, you know, possible expansion ideas could be, you know, additional fields indoor facilities or whatever that might be. This proposed parcel would give us a great corridor for sports fields throughout the city. As you can see, towards Bar Lake is the bright and sports complex that we already have fields on. Like so we're designing fields for this with plans to begin construction next year. And then just to the north a little ways, we have the football fields at Water Tower Fields. So this would give us a nice corridor and another opportunity to get some more recreational activity in this area. So the options for council be to approve the acquisition, reject it, and I'll answer any questions you have. Let's see, do we have questions? Looks like we have some motions here. Council member Green. I motion to approve this item. And then council member Plosky. Thank you, Mayor. I'd like to second that motion. We have a first and second to prove 9B unless there's any other discussion, roll call though. Motion passes, 9-0. Thank you. Next item 11A. Brighton High School parking permits discussion city manager Martinez Thank you mayor. I will turn this over to mayor pro-10 since there is technically a motion on the table I still I will mention that it was asked of staff to send notice to all the residents within the affected area of the Brighton High School parking permit program Staff did that successfully so every resident should have received notice that you will be discussing potential changes to the Parking Permit Program this evening. And with that, I'll turn it over to Mayor Pro Tem. Mayor Pro Tem. I think you have the numbers of the public who want to speak. I do. Go ahead and do that next then. Three people signed with, speak on this. Edward Tisky. I hopefully I said that right. All of this. Come on up. State your name. You got three minutes. My name is Edward Tisky. I live at 253 South Ath Avenue and I have had nothing but issues with parking there. We had a meeting a year ago at the high school, Mr. Johnson was there, Mr. Domenico was there, and we were told we'd have another meeting before anything was carried out. That meeting never happened. I have called daily since you guys have instilled this program daily multiple times a day to be told by officers named cubic that he wasn't going to deal with me and he wasn't going to and he was going to ignore my calls for service. Now having a police officer tell you he's going to ignore your calls for service because it's parking, it's still a law. It's still something they need to enforce. And just because he dealt with me in another city where I my the place of business that I worked was doesn't mean he knows me. And he assumed that telling me that this wasn't whatever city he came from, little city down, down south. I can't think of it right now. You guys don't enforce it. We've been in school for almost two months now. No tickets. Police officers drive right past. There's nine signs that say no parking anytime. There's cars parked there. There's a reason it's no parking. It's unsafe because the road narrows there. People are going to get hit. Cars are going to get hit. People stop and block the crosswalk. People still speed up and down the street. You guys put speed bumps in here. Why can't you put them in there? I mean, I get no answers. The police department tells me to come talk to you guys. So here I am. I'm here to talk to you and get answers. Anybody have any other questions? Well, this is at the time for you to speak. This... Well, I just don't understand how you can not have... not enforce this. You'd give me a ticket in a second. Absolutely in a second. One minute. Officer Avery, the SRO at Brighton High School, had to do an investigation to give somebody a parking ticket because they didn't have a parking pass. How simple is this go? OK, there's no pass in that car. Let's write it a ticket. It's not hard. Every officer that I have dealt with has not been educated on this, because I had to show them what the passes look like because they didn't even know what they looked like. I mean, I call the police and I get nothing. Zero service. I call for gunshots from down the street. They don't show up. It gets dispatched to Thornton. What's going on with the police department? Why can't you guys and you guys, they say, well, they tell us to give warnings. Okay, well, the time for warnings is over. It's done. Two months has plenty of time to get it out there. The school, the SROs, have the ability to send text messages. Thank you. Thank you. Dan Teske. One up and state your name. Thank you. Dan Tesske. One up in state your name. Three minutes. Good evening members of the council mayor. My name is Daniel Tesske. I am the property owner of 253 South 8th Avenue right across the street in a high school. Got problems with speeders again. Follow up. You got speed bumps on Southern. Why can't we install some speed bumps on Southern why can't we install some speed bumps on South 8th I have a brand new six-month-old grandchild that little girl's gonna start walking in a couple of years and she could easily be a victim people come through there I'd back in a trailer into the driveway and this fool damn near took the front end of my truck off. We need to slow the traffic down on 8th. Number two, parking. I had to come down to this building and pay 50 bucks for two passes, so I can park on the street in front of the house that I own. Every year I write a check for almost $2,000 or a little more for the property taxes to pay for that school district, that school right across the street from my house. And I got a paid apartment in front of it. If I have to pay the park on the public street, everybody needs to pay the park in front of their house on their street. It should be very basic. That's not right. The solution is, yeah, issue that permits at maybe a $5 administrative fee or something to cover the costs that I can live with. But you got to enforce the law. These jerks that park on the sidewalk, or they park their car and take off. Their cars need to be towed. The time for warnings is over. I have people parked behind a driveway and I got to sit there and wait until their child who isn't smart enough to walk home, they pick up their child a high schooler and then they leave. I'm ready to just start back and into them with my big three quarter ton because that's that's a load of crap. Okay. Officer Avery, either she's indifferent or incompetent. Mr. Chief, she's in. Please address the council, sir. If she's indifferent, she needs to be canned. If she's incompetent, she needs to be retrained. An investigation to issue a parking ticket or for disorderly conduct to a driver that cusses my son out because he says you don't need to park here. That's crazy. Absolutely crazy. And in my opinion, a 50 bucks is a total ripoff. It's discriminatory. You are penalizing me for owning a house in the city of Brighton. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Dan. Next, Scott Karel, if I said that right, come on up, Scott. It's great. Your name for the record. You got three minutes. My name is Scott Karel. I'm into 212 South Tenth Avenue. And I agree with some of the comments these gentlemen have made earlier. I just would like some clarification I received this communication stating that there would be proposed changes regarding the parking permits namely with renewals. Yet the correspondence we received earlier that the beginning of the summer tells us that there would be no changes to the parking permit and that they do not expire. So the you know, we, we purchased these permits under the assumption and agreement that they would not expire. There would be a one time purchase of $25 and then to get a follow-up correspondence after we've agreed to those terms telling us that those there will be potential changes and that we might need to renew those permits and or possibly pay more money to get them renewed. I don't know that this letter doesn't say I'd like to hear more about that so that's what I would like to hear and should should those permits require additional fees to renew then I think that I would like to see that struck down because that's not the agreement We went into with purchasing these permits to start with. Thank you Thank you, and thank you all for addressing your concerns And I agree there's a lot of things that need to be enforced because I think the The trial periods about over Mayor Pookton go ahead. Thank you So I have a motion on the floor which was laid over from our last meeting the parking process. The parking process is going to be a little bit more accurate about over. Mayor Prokton, go ahead. Thank you. So I have a motion on the floor which was laid over from our last meeting which addresses two issues with the motion that created the parking program. The first portion of that grants the city manager or does it need the authority to make exceptions to the parking permit limitation of two per property for good cause or for extenduating circumstances when we created this program. Defining it at exactly two cars per household. There are corner cases that have been presented that really shouldn't come back before the city council to resolve should be up to staff to resolve. So that's the first half of the motion that's on the table. The second half of the motion that's on the table is to move the fee for the permits, which is set at $25 per year per our motion per car to set that and move it into our annual fee resolution so that the council can act on it in that annual action where we set all of the fees for the city instead of acting on that one separately and having to come back to it so it takes moves it from its motion into the annual fee resolution and normalizes the governor of subit. Those are the two halves of the motion that remains I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah, given you said they're already there It looks like we have you as a motion now and we have council member green that did you make the motion before the I think seconded last week. Okay. All right, so I think we've reproduced the motion and second from last time Okay, good. Thank you for clarifying that so we have the first by Mayor Prodempadia and the second by Councilman green we have some discussion, Council Member Plosky. Thank you, Mayor. Well, the first half of your motion, I agree with the second half, I don't. I still don't. And, you know, because of the fact that we had a change in our council members from when we originally first voted on this, I would like to readress it because there isn't any place else in the city that a citizen of Brighton has to pay to park in front of their home. And I hate that. It's a total different aspect that it's not fair and I don't care for it. And so I would like, I understand the need for maybe a $5 fee, one time with the homeowner that's there, but I do not understand why we have to keep every year assessing a fee. The sad part is I've been here all these years, many since 1967, and watching the growth of the high school. The school district themselves, and they've admitted they had made mistakes and they should have done things earlier about creating more parking more quickly. That hasn't happened. In the additional parking space that's going to open up hopefully by the first of October, at Vicon, I think it will hold maybe 100 parking spaces and maybe there's room for 80 across the street possibly. But when you go out to either Riverdale High School or Prairie View, they have 600, 700 parking spaces. Brighton High School because of the fact that the city has grown around it and it's no fault of the property owners that are there. We need to address it and make it more fair as a citizen for all of Brighton citizens. So anyway, I'm totally fine with the city manager because we are policy makers. The city manager and staff they carry out everything. And so I'm fine with that. I just don't care for the second half of the motion. Thank you. All right. Councilmember Johnson. Thank you. Mayor, I agree with Councilmember Pulaski in one way. The problem that we're going to face that is easy to see, we had someone come up and just say we put this in a document and we sent it to the city, what we are going to do to our residents. And now we're sitting here changing it when we said in the document we're going to do certain things. These changes, I don't quite understand, there's only a certain amount of parking spots. I want everyone to understand. Mayor Pro Tempadiya said something about what this was. This is about giving certain people multiple more parking spots. And the city manager gets to now decide who those people are. How many parking spots do we have? Are we going to take away from other residents that have one of the parking permits? Is there extra areas I don't know about? do we have? Are we going to take away from other residents that have one of the parking permits? Is there extra areas I don't know about? Yeah, the corner lots themselves. So we're going to only now allow the corner lots and whoever has the money to pay for this to get an additional parking permit. But then what if someone doesn't, what if someone moves into the home and doesn't buy the parking pass, can someone else come and sweep in and go, this is now my parking pass. And I, yes, because now we're leaving it up to the city manager to decide. I think the plan that we had before was good other than the fee. There's no reason to charge the fee. The plan we had before was good. And we're changing it. And it supposedly came from council members that live around the high school That makes me nervous about the intentions of this I'm there every day and I'm telling you we hear it again and again. I'm as a football coach I'm there every day during this time of year We keep hearing it from the residents in different locations There is no other place in the city that needs speed tables speed bomb speedumps as much as these streets around the high school. They don't just speed around it. They do it on purpose and joke around and for us to say that that's not an issue when every resident that comes up, almost every resident that comes up and talks about this says here's another issue. Instead, we're offering parking permits and telling the city manager to give them to who she or he wants whoever the city manager is. I think we're missing the whole point here of this entire process. We said what we were going to do, the residents liked it and now we're changing it. So I really want to ask how the citizens are going to feel about this when they find out who initiated this, why it was initiated, and who's going to get the benefit of extra parking spots? I want you all to think about that as you take a vote. Thanks. And then we have Councilman Green. Thank you, Mayor. I guess first I'll say that the fee address to cost of the program, and that does not even recover the full cost of this program, which is why we instigated it. Second, according to this motion, there'll be a chance to readdress that fee during the annual fee discussions, not during this. So the fee was set. And again, the motion we approved, specifically stated, annually, the city is really just enforcing what the city council fully approved an annual fee for this. And I guess in deference to my other council members, nowhere else in this town is a resident guaranteed two parking spaces in front of their house. I know I would love to have two parking spaces in front of my house, but I have neighbors that park it. I have neighbors that do this. So this is the only one where we actually say you get two spaces in front of your house. That's what this parking fee is for. That's what it's about. So that's where I'm at. OK. All right. And then next, next we'll have Mayor Pro Tem. Sure. I really did not intend in this motion to really relitigate the entirety of the permit program. We determined to put in place a permit program at the request of the residents who live in the area and essentially as we had it in place for a short while discovered that there are a few things that are written too tightly for the city staff to be able to make adjustments. There are corner cases where, corner cases is not meant to be a joke around the corner lots, but there are corner cases where there are people who may not have off-street parking, who may not be able to maintain all of the vehicles off-street and may need to have additional permits, but the way the program is written, there is no ability to maintain that. The staff has no discussion concerning that. So that was the intent of creating the additional flexibility in moving that out of being the entire city council reconsidering the entire program and moving to staff to being able to administer. And then I would state that the fee set at an annual $25 is what the fee was set at the motion to set that fee was made by Councilman Johnston. It was seconded by Councilman Polowski. So at the time that we introduced this, that fee was effectively a compromise again because there are some council members who wanted to see the actual cost of administering the program recovered by the program and make sure that if we were going to take parking spaces off of availability to general public in the city that that needed to be meaningful. So the fee being set that $25 per year is actually a compromise from the original proposal which was a $50 per year per vehicle proposal. It was reduced as the compromise in the motion that passed. But again, my intent isn't to really litigate what the fee is. My intent, because right now that's only managed by a separate motion coming to the city council. My intent in this motion is to move that into our annual fee resolution. So it's considered and set with a recommendation from staff with our annual fee resolution. So taking it out of the political realm where we definitely at this table have people with a lot of different opinions, different voices in our ears. There are people who want it to be expensive. There are people who want it to be expensive. There are people who want it to be free. There are people who want the program to be very open and have an unlimited number of vehicles per house. There are people who want it to be maintained very tight. I have a lot of communication on this issue, and it is definitely conflicting requests and conflicting information. My intent, again, here with the motion that's on the table, is to put that into the administrative hands of our staff so that they can manage it and take it out of having to come before political entity. Thanks. And then next we have a council member today. Thank you Mayor. I'd like to add to a few of those comments that I agree with. The big word for me is compromise. I do live in the affected area. However, I mean, I've lived in my home for very many years. I've never had a high school student park in front of my house. Never. I live far enough away that's too far for them to walk. But for me, I... I don't know, sucked it up. I don't know the word I was trying to. I went down and I got my permits. And I paid the $50, even though I really don't think that I should have to, given my circumstances as well. But I did, because I felt like like again, it was a compromise. I will not be in favor of, I mean, I am in favor of putting in the fee resolution so that we can talk about it later. I won't be in favor of a renewal fee. I will not. I think when you pay your $25 per minute, that's it. That's what you pay. You hang onto that thing. You paid money for it. If you move, you, you, you know, sell, give it to the person that you moves into your house, but I won't be in favor of that. I think that was all I had. All right. Thank you. And then councilmember Poloski. Thank you. Excuse me. Thank you, Mayor. Well, Mayor Pro Tempadilla. Council Member Johnston, I do not recall making that motion for $25 period. I would like it proven to me I guess because I do not. I didn't want any amount so it doesn't make sense to me that you've accused me of that. So I just Mayor Council Member Johnston, did you remember that motion? Councillor Member Johnston? If it pleases you, Mayor, I might not remember the exact motion, but I do remember the compromise vote because people wanted it much larger. And what we did was lower the fee if we did do that through the compromise process. But I don't remember doing that, but I might have just to make sure it was only $25, not 50 or 100 per year like what we were told it was going to be. It was a compromise that for my memory from last year. Council member Fiddler. Thank you, Mayor. Lots of different opinions up here tonight, but I think we can all agree on. And I don't want an answer from the residents are here tonight, but I appreciate you coming in. It's a value proposition. So you entered into an agreement, bought a pass, and you thought that would guarantee you right for you to park in front of your home. I have great clarity that the grace period needs to come and do an end, then needs to start writing tickets so that you get what you paid for. I have clarity on that. I think that we all do. All right. If there's no more discussion by council, there's a motion on hand to vote for the adjustment. We'll call vote. Motion passes seven to two. I don't know that real quick. The next item 11b is a change our November 5th meeting to be November 4th to accommodate for election night. So we have a greater focus on the business of the city that night. Councilor City Manager Martinez, do you have anything to add to that? You said it all. So the opportunity is to remove our meeting from Tuesday the fifth moving it creating a special meeting on Monday the fourth at six o'clock. And the reason we didn't do it the following week on a study session eyes because some people will be away for the National League of Cities conference. Any discussion? I can't. It's not letting you. Okay. So, Member Johnston. Thank you because of my involvement on November 5th and that election night. I'm going to refuse myself. Okay. Let me get some motion because I don't think that the counts come out. Before we're done concluding our business, I just don't see that we need to move it to a special day. I would be more than willing to just get the meeting done on Tuesday and then they can go do the thing. I think this is a special case that isn't needed to be special. Okay. Anybody else? Okay. Mayor Pro Tem. Okay Anybody else Okay, Mayor Pro Tem So I move the that we rescheduled they would cancel the November 5th regular City Council meeting and replace it with a special meeting on November 4th at 6 o'clock p.m And then Council Member Fiddler. Thank you, Mayor L. Second. We have first and a second to approve this motion to move our meeting, that schedule for the 5th of November, to become the 4th of November, which is a Monday night. There's no other discussion. We'll call up. All right. Motion passes 5, yay, 3, nay, and one abstention. All right. Okay. Next we go on to reports. Let's start with reports by the mayor. Last week I had the pleasure of attending the 9-11 remembrance memorial that the Brighton Fire District puts on and they put on a great nice and short ceremony. And I was also at the Chamber Luncheon last week. Coming up, I have my Dr. Cog meeting tomorrow night and I will also be in the next meeting tomorrow night. Coming up I have my doctor cog meeting tomorrow night and I will also be at the BJA Park as we dedicate a bench to former councilmember Pollock. So next reports by our city attorney. It only has a report, but in November, I'm going to be out for a week. Okay. I remember that one. Yes. I'm going to go visit family and Ecuador. City manager Martinez. Think Mayor, two quick items just wanted to remind the public and council that trash bash is this weekend, both Friday and Saturday. So get all of your fun stuff out of your garage. Perfect time to do some summer cleaning and some fall cleanup. Get that over to our former wastewater treatment plant. Again, that's Friday and Saturday. And we just reminder we do not have a study session next week. Thank you. Thank you for that reminder. We have next Tuesday off. Next, reports by our City Council. I'll start with Councilmember Snyder. I don't have a report to say this. Okay. Councilmember Fiddler. Thank you. I just want to note a praise. Members of Brighton PD and City staff were president of meeting at Prairie High School last Thursday night with residents from Fuller States. I just want to commend Commander Mike Domenigini. I'm looking to see faces in the crowd. I got that right at the heart. What? Commander Mike and then Shiloh. You lit. Was there well as well from community services. And then the employer of the year, Nick Nemaria, was there on behalf of the planning crews. But they did a nice job. That community's felt a lack of a better term neglected over the years. And they really were dealing with a lot of commercial activities and residential properties. And there's all kinds of layers there that they had to dig into in terms of city ordinances, regional PUDs, and they just did a really nice job and I think folks were glad to be heard and rumor has it that at least one of the Trucking companies had moved into that area is Move their trucks out and has their house for sale so that's that's a victory in terms of those folks out there All right, Councilmember Johnston Thank you mayor. I'm just a point of order. I did not abstain in that vote I recuse myself I've never abstain from taking votes just for the minutes also I hate to put Scott Olson on the spot but maybe he is ready we did have a very good meeting with Adams County water quality one of the boards that I'm on and I'd like him to explain what happened there for our future also in the city of Brighton and why we are on that board because I won't one of the boards that I'm on and I'd like him to explain what happened there for our future also in the city of Brighton and why we are on that board because I won't be here soon and whoever is on that board it is important. So here you go. Thank you very much. Absolutely good evening everyone. So the Adams County Water Quality Association is it's a 208 planning agency which basically the Clean Water Act designates these agencies to monitor water quality in their respective jurisdictions. So the one that we're talking about in this instance is the South Adams County Water Quality Association. And one of those tasks that the organization does is monitor wastewater treatment plan expansions, wastewater lift stations, and such improvements to make sure that we're protecting the water quality of the area that's served. So at this last meeting, the Councilmember Johnson is talking about a developer brought to us a proposal for constructing a new lift station to serve a private apartment complex. So really as members of this agency, we want to make sure that everything is, in our power, is done to make sure they have, they've looked for alternatives to a lift station because lift stations can become a big problem if they fail during a power outage. They aren't sized appropriately or something like that. Basically, they no longer pump the wastewater back to the surface so it can flow by gravity, and it can start to back up into development into people's homes, get into the stormwater system into the creeks and such. So at that meeting, we confirmed with this developer that they had explored all other options to make sure they weren't feasible, just in protection of that water quality of the region. In this case, they had explored all the other alternatives, so we did go ahead and move forward with approving that application. The application and the development was related to an apartment complex in the South Adams County water and sanitation district, but somebody could have a proposal like that in the city of Brighton as well. And if I can add to that too, it was very well done job by director Olson, and then I was able to voice for us the concerns about we our job is not to help developers get paid more to do projects. And one of the main reasons that we the main question asked was are you doing a lift station to save your own money and to be able to ask that question have the backing of director Olson and then the rest of the board really jumped on including commissioner County Commissioner Limbock she was very helpful in saying yeah let's make sure it's not that and it was just a well done job. And it will move this way. This was an affordable housing project. So we wanted to get it done for them, but we want to make sure it's not overly profitable for a company and it took away from the actual backflow issue that can occur. So it was a very well done job by you. Thanks. Absolutely. Thanks. Absolutely. Thanks. Right. Thank you. Next Mayor Putte. I'd like to thank both of you for delivering a meaningful report. This point, this point in the agenda isn't really just for you to tell us everywhere you've been in the last week or the last two weeks. It really is to talk about the places that we represent the city and what we're doing on behalf of the city in those locations. It's not just an accounting of our attendance and our presence somewhere, but our meaningful participation. That said tomorrow, I will be at the Airport Coordinating Committee for Adams County, where we're looking at AeroTropolis, which is the marketing for commercial development surrounding the airport. The bottom southeast corner of our city is in a zone where we are participants in that marketing for development and have sales and use and impact tax or impact fee potentials for revenue for the city. That committee also looks at noise violations from the airport and participates in lawsuits where necessary. And then in two weeks on September 30th, I will be representing us at the annual state opioid abatement conference where I'm participating in a panel discussion talking about how we are investing funds, how we're going about investing those funds that came from the OVI settlements with the pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies and the manufacturers. So an opportunity to represent how we're addressing right and use of money and Adams County's use of money to address this crisis in our area. Thanks. And the next council member today. Thank you having said that. I have nothing to report. The council member worth what we can talk about. Right. Legacy. Thank you. Council member Green. Thank you very much. I'm going to indulge myself on Sunday night. I went to the 203rd celebration of the Guadamoan Independence Day, sponsored by the Guadamoan Council General here. And there was mayors from across the area, including Boulder, Aurora, Glendale, and Denver. And my girlfriend is from Guadamoan originally, so hence why I went there. It was a, it was a great festival. On Saturday, the 21st of Richard Lambert Foundation will be having their annual Lantern Festival, which is going to be taking place at Riverdale Regional Park this year. This is a great way to honor the loved ones that you may have lost. Tickets are still available on the Richard Lambert Foundation website. It's a really moving event. You light a lantern, you float it on the lake there, and you have a have a chance to really think about and there's a memorial walk to for your loved ones And finally on Friday night the Brighton Cultural Arts Commission will be having a ho-down at Barry Patch Farms Some country music learned how to line dance and all sorts of stuff and you can support the Brighton Cultural Arts Commission I'm not you do that one. I'm not gonna be here. I'm going to be out of the country. Next councilmember Pulaski. Thank you mayor nothing to report. All right next councilmember worth. All right. Thank you mayor. Yeah a few things there. I went to the Parks and Rec meeting, and I really can't, I was really counting on you carry in this one, so I forgot what the highlights were there. Went to a BIC meeting where they engaged in more team building exercises. Again, we just got a lot of brand new kids on the commission. So trying to meld them in with the kids that have been there for a while. And also planning for upcoming volunteers session sessions like the image summit that is coming up, they need a lot of volunteers to help carry that event out. And I understand I didn't go myself, but the farm to table event that went large number of the BIC members went as well. So they had good representation. I think this is going to be a very active group and they just, the leadership they're already showing is phenomenal. Went to Art in the Park. Saturday was just a busy day. Was there anything that didn't happen on Saturday? I went to Lulu's chili fest. Later in the week went to the kids first breakfast, kids first medical care, it's where they've got as medical facilities in schools and around the community that are really targeting giving medical care to anybody, you know, kids, primarily the kids that cannot afford it by any other means. Went to Chamberlion, had a wonderful presentation there. And then yesterday we had our Brighton Legacy Foundation meeting first one in a while where we cleaned up our bylaws a little bit just some some maintenance thanks to the legal counsel here to help us with that. Additionally we've got some upcoming officer changes we're going to be losing one of our members that's been on since beginning of time pretty much Janon Swink is gonna be leaving. She doesn't really have any strong ties to the community anymore. Our kids have graduated. She's not working here in town anymore, so she's gonna move on. She's also been very, very involved in her church group. So we're gonna miss her, but we've already got that kind of handled as far as filling in and who's going to take over her roles. And then we're going to have some meeting changes. We're going to reinstall our July meeting that we've skipped for the last few years. And we're going to be doing presentations at every meeting from our past grantees. I think we decided that we've really fallen out of touch with some groups and we use almost home as an example. Last time we had a presentation from them was when Sean Miller was the executive director and they had four or five employees in the group and now they're up to 30 plus because of just how much they've expanded and what they're doing now. So we really want to stay in touch with these groups and keep them in front of us. We went through a number of years where the only ones we would have present to us were the new applicants. We wanna keep in touch with these. So we're making some reasonable changes, I think, in the Legacy Foundation. That's all I have, thank you. Thank you. There's no executive session tonight. So we will adjourn. There's no meeting next week. So see you in two weeks.
