PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

Oath of Office for Newly-Elected Mayor, Newly-Elected Trustees, Re-Elected Trustees and Home Rule Charter Commission Members

Trustee Tenney informed the Board that as indicated in his letter dated April 4, 2000, he now resigns his seat as Trustee. Claudia Whitney, Clerk/Receptionist/Notary administered the Oath of Office for Leon W. Tenney for the office of Mayor, the Oaths of Office for Kristi Schutz, Glenda Smith, Steve Wilcox and W. Lowell Morgan for the office of Trustee and the Oaths of Office for Ed DeLaney, S. Faye Elbaum, W. Lowell Morgan, Steve Wilcox, Patricia J. Powell, Ray Powell, Mark Y. Hansen, Michael M. Wicklund and Doug Jones for the office of Home Rule Charter Commission Member.

Mayor Tenney then continued with the agenda. He informed the Board that he has changed the format of the agenda in order to allow scheduled guests to speak first, and any unscheduled guests would be last. He further stated that the purpose of the Board meeting is to conduct public business, and not to have the public openly express dissatisfaction with a Board member.

SCHEDULED GUESTS

Public Hearing for Amendment to Final PD Site Plan, Allison Brown Development at 14960 Woodcarver Road (More Commonly Known as NavSys) and Adoption of Resolution 20-2000.

Applicant: Hammers Construction

Rhett Osco, Project Coordinator for Hammers Construction representing the Allison Brown project on Woodcarver Road informed the Board that the Applicant is proposing to add a 14,400 square foot 2-story addition to the existing building. They would maintain the architectural style of the existing building. According to Osco, the building would be used for research and development. Osco outlined the Site Plan and stated that they would have asphalt parking and would use a private easement for access. They are unsure when Phase 2 would begin.

Trustee DeLaney questioned whether water would be a problem at the site, and Osco responded that they have come to an agreement with respect to water usage with the Third Amendment to their Annexation and Development Contract which was drawn up between Allison Brown and the Town of Monument. Mayor Tenney asked how many people work at NavSys and how many employees would be added. Osco responded that they currently have 25 employees and may possibly have a total of as many as 50 employees once Phase 1 is complete.

Patrick Mulready, Director of Planning and Community Development reminded the Board that this item was tabled by the Board from the last meeting because the amended annexation agreement was not complete. Mulready recommended approving the annexation amendment if the Board approves the PD Site Plan in order to bring the Applicant's water consumption numbers into compliance with Town policy. Trustee Morgan asked if the problem at the site was that it did not have enough water rights, and Mulready responded that this was not the case but rather when the area was annexed to the Town in 1992 a different water standard was applied and therefore the use they had at the site was already not in compliance with that agreement. This amendment would bring them into compliance.

Trustee Smith questioned the dispute between the Applicant and the property owner to the north regarding Woodcarver Road. Osco responded that the road is a private road with a public access easement over it. Mulready stated that he received a referral response from an adjoining property owner which indicated that they had no objection to the proposed addition; the dispute is regarding the location where the road intersects their property. Mayor Tenney asked if the road is in the correct place, and property owner Allison Brown stated that the legal description needs to be corrected.

Mayor Tenney opened the hearing to the public for input. There being none, Trustee Schutz moved to approve Resolution No. 20-2000 authorizing an amendment to annexation and development contract (NavSys addition to Monument); seconded by Trustee Morgan; motion carried unanimously. Trustee Schutz moved to approve the Amended Final PD Site Plan for the Allison Brown Development, subject to the following conditions:

1. Although the Final PD Site Plan certificates and signature blocks are in the proper form, they appear to have been taken directly from the Builders and Developers Handbook, and copied onto a "sticky back" paper. This action is prohibited by ordinance. Therefore, the PD site plan will need to be revised to add a Title Page, with the PD Site Plan certificates and signature blocks, written so as to remove references to "figure 1", "figure 2", etc.

2. The applicant must revise their annexation agreement to bring their water consumption figures into compliance with the Town’s current water policy. The annexation agreement must also specify that at such time as Forest Lakes Metro District is able to provide municipal water and sanitary sewer delivery service to this site, the land owner must agree to be included in FLMD. At that time, the existing well must be capped, and the existing septic system must be removed in accordance with policies in place by the El Paso County Health Department. Until this occurs, no new construction for phase two (the 41,500 square foot building addition) will be processed.

3. Any capacity augmentation necessary to the existing well to support the additional fixture counts proposed by this development must be approved by the State of Colorado and El Paso County agencies with jurisdiction over wells.

4. Landscape Plans must be reviewed by the Parks & Landscape Committee.

5. Land owner must agree to be included in the Baptist Road Rural Transportation Authority, and a pay an assessment on new building (made at time of Land Use Permit issuance) in order to offset the impact of traffic along Baptist Road.

6. For phase II, applicant must indicate how the required 65 parking spaces to accommodate this new area will be provided on site.

7. Drainage Plans must be revised and resubmitted in accordance with comments from Black & Veatch.

seconded by Trustee Smith; motion carried unanimously.

Approval of the Minutes of the April 3, 2000 Regular Meeting

Trustee Schutz moved to approve the Minutes of the April 3, 2000 Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees; seconded by Trustee Wilcox; motion carried unanimously.

Town Manager's Report

Rick Sonnenburg, Town Manager informed the Board that Town Treasurer Michael Shoback has a year-to-date report and a Fiscal Year 99 (FY99) year-end financial report to discuss. Shoback informed the Board that included in the packed was a daily account balance report for January through March 2000, general sales tax report for 1997-1999 and for January and February 2000 (before and after sharing with TriView Metro) and a list of water tap sales the Town received in 1998, 1999 and January through March 2000. Shoback stated that the FY99 report is not complete but should be ready in 10 days.

According to Shoback, at the end of 1999 there was a surplus of $442,698.00 in the General Fund, a negative balance of $5,916.00 in the Cemetery Fund and a surplus of $391,197.00 in the Water Fund, bringing the total surplus for 1999 to $829,929.00. Shoback further outlined the changes in cash balance for March 2000 for the General Fund ($64,614.00 in the positive), the Water Fund ($67,405.00 in the negative) and the Cemetery Fund ($161.00 in the positive.)

Mayor Tenney then asked the Board whether they would like to consider the capital expense of purchasing a street sweeper since there seems to be sufficient money gained already this year. Trustee DeLaney asked whether the street sweeper was in the budget for 2000 and Shoback responded that it was included in the budget for 2001. Mayor Tenney stated that currently each use of the contracted street sweeper costs $1300.00, and to lease purchase a street sweeper would cost $20,000.00 - $25,000.00 per year for five years. In addition, Mayor Tenney stated that a new employee was recently hired for Public Works and therefore there should be enough manpower in the streets department to run the street sweeper. Also, Mayor Tenney stated that TriView Metro may share 20% of the cost for the street sweeper and Palmer Lake may be willing to share 10% of the cost. Trustee DeLaney stated that the street sweeper would have a lot of road time and would depreciate in value fairly quickly. Trustee Schutz moved to approve the lease purchase of a Town street sweeper with a limit of $25,000.00 per year; seconded by Trustee Smith; motion carried unanimously. Mayor Tenney suggested that the Town declare a cleanup week when the sweeper arrives.

Shoback continued with his financial report for the months of January through March 2000. The Cemetery Fund experienced a profit of $4,679.00, the Planning Fund had a net excess of $5,280.00, the General Fund is at a deficit of $1,659.00 (but should pick up later,) the Expendable Trust Fund has an excess of $193,376.00 and the Water Fund has a deficit of $91,911.00. According to Shoback, there was a $51,312.00 depreciation in the Water Fund, a significant portion of the deficit in that fund. In addition, 1% of the sales tax budgeted to the Water Fund must be used specifically for improvements in water supply and/or distribution so the Water Fund has not lost the money; it is just not included in the operating budget for the Water Fund. Also, Well #8 represents half of the total debt service of the Town. Shoback suggested the Town do one of three things to help the Water Fund operating budget: increase revenues, decrease expenditures or use fund balance.

Trustee Schutz questioned whether the Board should hold a mid-year budget workshop and Shoback responded that such a workshop should be held prior to mid-year. The Board agreed to set a Special Budget Workshop Meeting for Monday, May 8, 2000 at 6:30 P.M.

Shoback asked the Board for direction regarding the collecting of the impact fees for Soc-'N-Roll. Mayor Tenney voiced his opinion that the Board should grant Soc-'N-Roll an extension to pay their $48,000.00 impact fee by the end of May. Trustee Smith stated that she would go along with this suggestion but she would like to see the Board come up with a solution to such a problem. The Board agreed to extend the deadline for Soc-'N-Roll until May 31st to pay the impact fee.

Sonnenburg shared several items with the Board. First, he informed the Board that the CML Annual Conference will be held in Grand Junction on June13-17 and all Board members are invited to attend. Mayor Tenney stated that the Town will pay for the expenses, and he encouraged available Town staff to attend also.

Secondly, Sonnenburg informed the Board that in the packet is a brochure regarding the Interstate 25/Highway 105 Interchange, and a meeting regarding this interchange will be held at the Lewis Palmer Middle School on Tuesday, April 18, 2000 from 5:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.

Next, Sonnenburg stated that in the packet is a recent letter from Town Water Attorney Bob Krassa regarding Well #3 for the Board's information.

Sonnenburg then stated that a status report on the Downtown street lights is included in the packet, with a timeline prepared by Public Works Administrative Assistant Rhonda Steele. Steele informed the Board that the street light globes were shipped on April 14, 2000 but not all items that were on backorder were received; they should all arrive by the end of next week. Trustee Wilcox asked whether the repair could be done locally to the damaged pieces and Steele responded that the factory will ship the Town paint and the touch up can be done after installation of the street lights. The installation should begin on May 1, 2000. Mayor Tenney suggested that the parking spaces under the trees beside the building directly to the west of Town Hall be blocked and the area become a pedestrian walkway. The consensus amongst the Board was that the Town pursue getting curb blocks and striping.

John Dominowski of the Monument Farmers Market discussed with the Board the parking problem this year since parking is prohibited on the vacant parking lot across the street from the lot where the Farmers Market is held. Tommie Plank, owner of the Covered Treasures Bookstore informed the Board that the Historic Monument Merchants looked into possibly closing off Second Street during the times of the Farmers Market in order to help accommodate parking but they did not feel that they would gain enough business from the Farmers Market in order to warrant such action. Trustee Smith suggested holding the Farmers Market in a public park, and Trustee Schutz suggested using the area beside the tennis courts (beside the District 38 Administration building.) Mayor Tenney stated that he would be hesitant to change the location of the Farmers Market, and he suggested that the Historic Monument Merchants look into parking options for the Farmers Market. Police Chief Al Sharon suggested renting the land currently vacant across the street from the regular location for the Farmers Market and using the old location for parking. Mayor Tenney stated that this would be cost prohibitive, and he suggested that Public Works look into putting in diagonal parking spaces on Front Street. Sky Hall of the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce questioned who is enforcing the 'no parking' on vacant lots in Town, and Mayor Tenney responded that this needs to be enforced but he is hesitant to do so because when Mr. Brody (owner of the vacant lot on Front Street) has been approached regarding this situation, matters got worse.

Sonnenburg informed the Board that there will be a CML Orientation for new (and old) Board members on May 20, 2000 in Denver. The deadline for registration is May 5, 2000 and Sonnenburg requested that the Board let him know whether or not they plan to attend said orientation by the May 1, 2000 Board meeting.

Regarding the impact fee study, Sonnenburg informed the Board that the staff material requested by the consultant was mailed on April 13 and the consultant's report to staff is expected on May 15. Mayor Tenney requested that the consultant be present at the May 8, 2000 Special Meeting in order to give the Board a status report regarding the water impact fee study.

In addition, Sonnenburg informed the Board that included in the packet were Public Works Committee Recommendations. At the April 5, 2000 Regular Meeting of the Public Works Committee, they recommended that the Board approve the following:

1. Grant authorization to the Town Manager to spend up to $30,000.00 per occurrence for emergency water well land distribution system repairs prior to Board approval (such authorization would extend to three (3) such situations per fiscal year.)

2. Amend the appropriate section(s) of the Town Code (Section 10-2-3) to prohibit water and sewer service lines from being installed under driveways (unless such installation is approved in writing by the appropriate agency.)

3. Amend the appropriate section(s) of the Subdivision Ordinance to require five (5) foot wide sidewalks instead of 4.5-foot wide sidewalks for collector and local and minor streets.

4. Include the Public Works Committee (PWC) in the Board of Trustees/Planning Commission's "referrals" list so the PWC has an opportunity to review, critique and provide comments to the Board and Planning Commission regarding Public Works aspects of plats, plans, annexations, etc.

5. Purchase a street sweeper (approved earlier in this meeting.)

Trustee Smith also suggested that the Town enforce the Ordinance for cleaning off sidewalks (the property owners are responsible for this.) Trustee Wilcox moved to approve the grant authorization to the Town Manager to spend up to $30,000.00 per occurrence for emergency water well and distribution system repairs prior to Board approval (up to three (3) such situations per fiscal year.); seconded by Trustee Schutz; motion carried unanimously. Trustee DeLaney moved to approve items two and three above; seconded by Trustee Smith; motion carried unanimously. Trustee Wilcox moved to approve item four above; seconded by Trustee Schutz; motion carried unanimously.

Mayor Tenney informed the Board that prior to the release of any official information to the media, it must be cleared by the Town Manager.

Old Business – None

New Business

Setting the Date for the First Home Rule Charter Commission Meeting

Trustee DeLaney moved to approve holding the first Home Rule Charter Commission Meeting on April 18, 2000 at 7:00 p.m.; seconded by Trustee Schutz; motion carried unanimously.

Discussion of Format and Rules of Procedure for Board Meetings

Mayor Tenney suggested changing the format of the agenda to have the following five main sections: call to order, scheduled guests, approval of Minutes, Town Manager's report and Old Business/New Business. Also, Mayor Tenney informed the Board that the table arrangements for the meetings have been changed, and there will be no assigned seating. Furthermore, the only staff who will attend the meetings will be the Town Manager and the Town Clerk unless others are specifically requested to attend.

Appointments of Mayor Pro Tem, Town Clerk, Town Treasurer, Town Attorney and Trustee Representation to BRRTA

EXECUTIVE SESSION

Mayor Tenney asked for a motion to go into Executive Session for the discussion of personnel and legal issues. Trustee Schutz so moved; seconded by Trustee Wilcox; motion carried unanimously.

The Board reconvened after Executive Session. Trustee Schutz moved to approve Resolution 15-2000 appointing Trustee DeLaney to continue as Mayor Pro Tem; seconded by Trustee Wilcox; motion carried unanimously. Trustee Schutz moved to approve Resolution 16-2000 appointing Audrey Auer as Town Clerk; seconded by Trustee Wilcox; motion carried unanimously. Trustee Schutz moved to approve Resolution 17-2000 appointing Michael Shoback as Town Treasurer; seconded by Trustee Wilcox; motion carried unanimously. (Each of the above offices are for two-year terms.) Mayor Tenney stated that the Board would entertain an Attorney at a Special Meeting on April 25, 2000 at 6:30 p.m. Trustee Schutz moved to hold a Special Meeting on April 25, 2000 at 6:30 p.m. for the abovementioned purpose; seconded by Trustee DeLaney; motion carried unanimously. Mayor Tenney suggested that Trustee Schutz remain on BRRTA, and he stated that another representative must also be chosen for BRRTA. Trustee Smith moved to appoint Trustee Wilcox to BRRTA; seconded by Trustee Schutz; motion carried unanimously.

Trustee Smith moved to approve Resolution 12-2000 commending Mayor Marlin "Si" Sibell, retiring member of the Monument Board of Trustees; seconded by Trustee Schutz; motion carried unanimously. Trustee Smith moved to approve Resolution 13-2000 commending Trustee Bailey, retiring member of the Monument Board of Trustees; seconded by Trustee Schutz; motion carried unanimously. Trustee Smith moved to approve Resolution 14-2000 commending Trustee Vankekerix, retiring member of the Monument Board of Trustees; seconded by Trustee Wilcox; motion carried unanimously.

Judge John Cicollela administered the Oaths of Office for the Town Clerk and Town Treasurer.

Mayor Tenney nominated Trustee Smith for the Planning Commission. Trustee Schutz moved to approve Resolution 22-2000 adding Glenda Smith to the Planning Commission instead of John Bailey; seconded by Trustee Wilcox; motion carried unanimously.

Authorizing a Budget of $20,000.00 for the Home Rule Charter Commission

Trustee DeLaney moved to authorize $20,000.00 for the Home Rule Charter Commission; seconded by Trustee Morgan; motion carried unanimously. Sonnenburg distributed a rough breakdown of the 120-day Home Rule Charter Commission budget.

Discussion of Planning Process

Ordinance Authorizing Short-Term Moratorium on Development

Mayor Tenney expressed his opinion that the planning process needs extensive revision, and he proposed a 90-day moratorium on development. Mayor Tenney read aloud Ordinance No. 4-2000, an Emergency Ordinance declaring a three-month moratorium on all development applications including plans, plats and annexations. Trustee Schutz moved to read by title only Ordinance No. 4-2000; seconded by Trustee Smith; motion carried unanimously. Trustee Schutz moved to approve Ordinance No. 4-2000; seconded by Trustee Smith. Mayor Tenney stated that this Ordinance would affect planning items which have not been approved by the Board (those which are in the 'pipeline'.) Applicants could still go to the various Committees to review the deadlines required for their project.

Mayor Tenney opened the discussion to the public for input. Chris Pollard of South Park Drive asked whether the Town plans to coordinate with the Tri-Lakes Comprehensive Plan, and Mayor Tenney responded that the Town needs time to develop its own Comprehensive Plan and the Tri-Lakes Comprehensive Plan could be a good place to start. In addition, Mayor Tenney stated that the Town must form a 15-member Planning Steering Committee, and this Committee should also include members who are not Monument residents.

There being no further public input, Trustee Schutz's motion to approve Ordinance No. 4-2000 passed unanimously.

Resolution Revising Enhancement Grant Application for Santa Fe Trail Crossing of Extension of Beacon Lite Road from a Pedestrian Tunnel to a Pedestrian Bridge

Mayor Tenney informed the Board that he would like to see something other than a tunnel for the Santa Fe Trail crossing of the extension of Beacon Lite Road, and in his opinion a pedestrian bridge would be more attractive. The estimated cost of the bridge would be $400,000.00 with a match of 20% ($80,000.00) required by the Town (as opposed to the $38,000.00 required match for a tunnel.) Trustee DeLaney moved to approve Resolution 19-2000 authorizing the submission of a grant application to the Metropolitan Planning Organization for a Santa Fe Trail pedestrian bridge over the proposed extension of Beacon Lite Road; seconded by Trustee Wilcox; motion carried unanimously.

Trustee Morgan questioned whether the Town is conducting a feasibility study on this project and Mayor Tenney responded that Sonnenburg is a member of the Transportation Advisory Commission (TAC) and they allocate money to different projects; the Town must specify the project(s) it wishes to have funded.

Ordinance Authorizing Transfer of Control of Cable Television Franchise from Tri-Lakes Cable to Adelphia Communications

Sonnenburg suggested that the Board approve a Resolution authorizing the transfer of control of the Cable Television Franchise from Tri-Lakes Cable to Adelphia Communications because a Resolution would be effective immediately whereas an Ordinance (unless if it is an Emergency Ordinance) would only be effective after 30 days. Trustee Morgan moved to approve Resolution 21-2000 authorizing the transfer of control of this Cable Television Franchise; seconded by Trustee Wilcox; motion carried unanimously.

Discussion of Lease of Post Office

Chris Mikulas, future owner of the old Monument Post Office building (upon closing) informed the Board that "Si" Sibell inquired about leasing part of the building for use as a Community Center. Mikulas stated that there are about four other parties interested in leasing the building, and she needs to know whether or not the Town is interested in leasing it. Mayor Tenney voiced his opinion that the lease price of the building is high, Trustee Morgan stated that the Town would need time to consider it and Trustee DeLaney expressed his opinion that it would be too expensive to the Town to lease the building at this point. Trustee Wilcox expressed interest in looking into something like this in the future. After a brief discussion, Mayor Tenney asked Mikulas to allow one of the other interested parties to lease the building.

Discussion of Format and Rules of Procedure for Board Meetings

Trustee Smith voiced her opinion that the Council procedure and rules of order for the City of Broomfield fits best for the way the Town has conducted its meetings, whereas the procedures/rules of order for the City of Colorado Springs come across as being too 'stiff.' Trustee Morgan stated that he would like to see a combination of the procedures for the City of Colorado Springs and the City of Westminster (for conduct of public hearings of land use matters.) Trustee Schutz suggested that perhaps Whitney could work on taking pieces from all three cities' rules of procedure. Mayor Tenney delegated this task to Sonnenburg and requested him to give the Board a progress report by the next Board meeting.

Discussion of Committee System and Practice of Trustees Being on Committees

Mayor Tenney informed the Board that El Paso County and Colorado Springs do not have their Board serve on Committees. The Town currently does, and because the Town does not have enough interested citizens to serve on Committees it has worked out well, but the problem which exists is that a Board member should not vote twice on an issue (first on a Committee and then on the Board.) Mayor Tenney suggested phasing out Board members from serving on Committees. Trustee DeLaney expressed his desire to have the Board involved in the Committees and Trustee Smith stated that the Trustees have communication between Committees which is important. Michael Wicklund, Home Rule Charter Commission member suggested that this could be an item for discussion by the Home Rule Charter Commission. Trustee Morgan expressed his desire to be on a Committee as well as on the Board because it gives him some background on various issues. John Heiser, 17160 Colonial Park Drive suggested that a Trustee who presents the results made by a Committee they serve on and has already made a motion in their Committee should not vote on the issue when it is brought before the Board.

Mayor Tenney informed the Board that he would like to review the various Committees in Town (Cemetery, Planning, Public Works, etc.) and he suggests that the Town form a Police Review Committee. The Board agreed with this suggestions. Mayor Tenney asked that an advertisement be placed in the paper to request volunteers with law-related background to become members of the Police Review Committee.

Trustee Smith informed the Board that at the last PPACG meeting they had a motion to appoint Sonnenburg to TAC, with Mulready as the alternate. Trustee Smith stated that June 3rd will be Trails Day. In addition, Trustee Smith stated that an amendment was made to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to remove federal funding for Mitchell Avenue (it was moved to Woodmen Avenue.) Also, a study was performed on extending South Powers Boulevard. The Beacon Lite Road extension and Second Street were discussed as well; these projects would exhaust the PPACG's General Fund. Mayor Tenney suggested that the Town review impact fees to determine how such issues could be addressed.

Discussion of Procedure to Fill Vacant Trustee Seat

Mayor Tenney informed the Board that they can either appoint someone to fill the vacant Trustee seat or they can call a Special Election to fill the vacant seat. Trustee Schutz suggested that the Town advertise the vacancy, and Mayor Tenney stated that the Board has 60 days to fill the vacancy. Mayor Tenney also informed the Board that Nick Leibovitz of Jackson Creek (239 Misty Creek Drive) has submitted an application for the vacant Trustee position. Trustee Schutz moved to approve filling the vacant Trustee seat by appointment; seconded by Trustee DeLaney; motion carried unanimously.

Ray Smith, 2760 Monument Lake Road asked the Board whether they have received a progress report on the Monument Skate Park because in his opinion it has become an eyesore. Mayor Tenney responded that at the last Board meeting, two representatives of the Skate Park Committee were present and asked to have until Labor Day to complete the project. At that time, the Board directed the Committee to meet with Sonnenburg to work things out. Sonnenburg informed the Board that he has met with the Skate Park Committee and will be meeting with them again soon. Mayor Tenney asked that staff obtain a suitable agenda from the Skate Park Committee by mid-May and give a report to the Board at that time.

Approval of Expenditures

Mayor Tenney informed the Board that he would like the Board to establish a dollar amount to allow Sonnenburg to approve expenditures up to and if the expenditures exceed the set amount, then the Board would need to approve them. Trustee Schutz suggested that this item be discussed at the May 8, 2000 budget workshop meeting. Trustee Schutz moved to approve expenditures in the amount of $46,840.43; seconded by Trustee Smith; motion carried unanimously.

EXECUTIVE SESSION

Trustee Schutz moved to go into Executive Session to discuss the planning process and the Police Chief; seconded by Trustee Wilcox; motion carried unanimously.

There being no further business, at 11:20 p.m. Trustee Schutz moved to adjourn the meeting of the Board of Trustees; seconded by Trustee Smith; motion carried unanimously.

Respectfully submitted,

 

Audrey Auer

Town Clerk
