                     A.                     AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON, COLORADO,                      ESTABLISHING CERTAIN BENEFITS FOR CITY PERSONNEL FOR THE 2018                      BUDGET YEAR AND SETTING FORTH THE DETAIL RELATED THERETO

 

                     Mayor McLean read the title of the Ordinance into the record.

 

City Manager Philip Rodriguez introduced Administrative Services Director Karen Borkowski Surine.

 

Administrative Services Director Karen Borkowski Surine presented the proposed employee benefits for 2018 and explained that open enrollment will take place after the final reading of the Ordinance. The City contracts with HUB International to manage the self-funded benefits program. Finance and Human Resources staff members meet regularly to review claims, funding options, and data projects to provide employee’s benefits that are comparable to what they are accustomed to and to follow sound fiscal practices. The projected cost for health benefits in 2018 is $3,780,780.29. The City has reserves of $676,394.00 to cover expenses that may occur above the expected claims, along with stop-loss insurance. Medical inflation does increase at approximately 6% to 7% annually. The provider for health care will continue to be United Healthcare. Staff is recommending that employees continue to be charged $75.00 per month toward their monthly premium with a $50.00 incentive reduction if the employee participates in the annual biometric testing program. Staff is proposing that spouses on the plan be charged $75.00 per month with a $50.00 incentive reduction if they participate in the annual biometric testing program. Children covered by the plan do not participate in the biometric testing program. Any new hires and any spouse participating in the plan will have ninety (90) days to get their biometric testing completed.

 

These are the proposed benefits for 2018. The Telehealth Program including Teledoc, Health Advocate Program and eDocAmerica for $27,000.00; usage of the program is not charged to the health care plan. Dental Insurance through Delta Dental in the amount of $190,200.00. Vision care through VSP in the amount of $71,400.00. Life/AD&D/, Long Term Disability and Short Term Disability with Lincoln in the amount of $204,100.00. The Flexible Spending Account is voluntary and follows IRS guidelines and the maximum contribution for employees in 2018 for medical expenses is $2,600.00 and for dependent care expenses is $5,000.00. The Anthem Employee Assistance Program is the same cost as 2017 at a cost of $18,000.00. Recreation Center passes for employees and their families is again included. The City would like to offer Long Term Care this year as a voluntary benefit to be paid for by the employee, with no cost to the City.

 

The Retiree Health Savings Account will be added as a pilot program for sworn police officers. Staff is recommending a three (3) step approach. Sworn officers that have reached at least sixty (60) years of age with twenty (20) years of consecutive service with the City and were hired before 2008 and who retire from the City will have the City contribute $500.00 tax free monthly into a retiree health savings account until they are Medicare eligible. These funds will be allocated in the budget annually. Sworn officers with paid time off in excess of two hundred (200) hours at year end will have the cash equivalent of up to sixteen (16) hours maximum deposited into their retiree health savings account. Sworn officers are required to put 1% of their salary into a retiree health savings account and the City will contribute .5% of each employee’s salary into the retiree health savings account. Contributions will be taken each pay period beginning in 2018. This program will address sworn officers at all stages of their career with the City. A vote was taken of all City employees and of the 304 employees just under 100 voted. Of those that voted 53% favored the implementation of a retiree health savings plan program. Another vote was taken of sworn officers and approximately 85% of them supported the program. Because of the results from the employees at large, staff determined that the pilot program would be limited in 2018to sworn officers since the majority were in favor of this program. Director Borkowski Surine answered questions from Council regarding:

                     The input that was received from Police Officers regarding the retiree health program.

                     The Police Officers taking a separate survey from the rest of the City employees.

 

                     Motion by Councilmember Wallin, seconded by Councilmember Edwards, to approve the                      Ordinance establishing certain benefits for City personnel for the 2018 budget year and setting forth the detail related thereto. Motion passed by the following vote:

 

                     Aye:                     9 -                      Mayor McLean, Mayor Pro Tem Kreutzer, Councilmember Baca, Councilmember

                     Bell, Councilmember Edwards, Councilmember Humbert, Councilmember Kniss,

                     Councilmember Pollack, and Councilmember Wallin

 

                     B.                     AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON, COLORADO,                      AMENDING THE BRIGHTON MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 1-27-30, (h) RELATED TO                      PUBLIC ACCESS TO RECORDS MAINTAINED IN SPECIFIED DIGITAL FORMATS;                      AND SETTING FORTH DETAILS IN RELATION THERETO

 

                     Mayor McLean read the title of the Ordinance into the record.

 

City Manager Rodriguez introduced City Clerk Natalie Hoel.

 

City Clerk Natalie Hoel explained that this Ordinance will amend the Municipal Code regarding Open Records to comply with changes made to the State Statutes. This amendment requires records to be provided in the format in which they are stored. If the record is stored in a searchable and sortable format, it must be provided in that format.

 

                     Motion by Councilmember Edwards, seconded by Councilmember Humbert, to approve the                      Ordinance amending the Brighton Municipal Code Section 1-27-30(h) related to Public Access to Records Maintained in Specified Digital Formats; and setting forth details in relation thereto. Motion passed by the following vote:

 

                     Aye:                     9 -                      Mayor McLean, Mayor Pro Tem Kreutzer, Councilmember Baca, Councilmember

                     Bell, Councilmember Edwards, Councilmember Humbert, Councilmember Kniss,

                     Councilmember Pollack, and Councilmember Wallin

 

8.  RESOLUTIONS

 

                     A.                     A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON, COLORADO                      APPROVING THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE BRIGHTON                      JAPANESE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION PARK (BJAA PARK)

 

                     Mayor McLean read the title of the Resolution into the record.

 

City Manager Rodriguez introduced Parks and Recreation Director Gary Wardle.

 

Parks and Recreation Director Gary Wardle presented the Resolution approving the Master Plan for the Brighton Japanese American Association (BJAA) Park. This is a 6.3 acre park located at 12th Avenue and Longspeak Street; construction started in 1958 and was completed in the 1960’s. The City of Brighton received the park from the Brighton Japanese American Association in 1973. The playground has been replaced once and there have not been any additional improvements. The park is in need of a new playground, new irrigation system, additional parking and updated amenities for use with the Youth Sports Program. The park needs to be updated to meet the City’s new park standards including native turf which will reduce irrigation requirements. This will create a nicer park for the neighborhood and the Brighton Japanese American Association would like to use the park for some of their events. Staff held a public meeting on May 22, 2017 with the Brighton Japanese American Association to get their input for the park renovation and a public meeting was held on June 1, 2017. Staff took the results from these meetings to draft three (3) concept drawings to present at a second public meeting on July 29, 2017. Staff took input from that meeting to create one preferred plan and presented it to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on August 2, 2017. The proposed improvements include: expanded playgrounds, new picnic shelter, refurbish existing picnic shelter, new irrigation system, two (2) Torii entrance gates, Japanese contemplative garden with history markers for the Brighton Japanese American Association members, new covered dugouts and bleachers for the baseball field, upgrade restroom facility, new landscaping, and expansion of the parking lot. The estimated cost for the project is $1,200,350.00. There is currently $540,350.00 in the 2018 Parks and Recreation Capital Improvement Fund. The City applied for an Adams County Open Space Grant in the amount of $660,000.00, which has not been officially approved but the Adams County Open Space Advisory Board has recommended approval of the grant funding. Pending approval of the grant, the project will go out to bid by the end of 2017, the bid will be awarded in January, 2018 and construction should begin next summer.       

 

                     Motion by Councilmember Pollack, seconded by Councilmember Baca, to approve Resolution                      2017-110 approving the Master Plan for the renovation of the Brighton Japanese American Association Park (BJAA). Motion passed by the following vote:

 

                     Aye:                     9 -                      Mayor McLean, Mayor Pro Tem Kreutzer, Councilmember Baca, Councilmember

                     Bell, Councilmember Edwards, Councilmember Humbert, Councilmember Kniss,

                     Councilmember Pollack, and Councilmember Wallin

                     

                     B.                     A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON, COLORADO                      APPROVING THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE DONELSON PARK PARKING LOT TO                      BE LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF DONELSON PARK AND                      ACCOMMODATING 99 PARKING SPACES

 

                     Mayor McLean read the title of the Resolution into the record.

 

Parks and Recreation Director Gary Wardle presented the Master Plan for the Donelson Park parking lot. This facility is used for the Competitive Sports Program for soccer, which brings up to 150 vehicles into the neighborhood during events and has a significant impact on the neighborhood. There is currently only street parking around the park so visitors do block driveways. The construction of a parking lot in the southeast corner of the park should help mitigate these issues.

 

A public meeting was held on June 13th at the park where staff presented the plan options to approximately forty (40) attendees. The majority of concern expressed by the neighbors centered on the construction of 45th Avenue and Longs Peak Street.

 

Three (3) options were presented to the neighbors during the meeting and comment cards were given to the attendees. Twenty-two (22) cards were returned. Fifteen (15) cards supported building one (1) parking lot on the southeast corner of the park, five (5) were in favor of building two (2) small parking lots and two (2) were in favor of no parking lots. Option 1 included building two (2) small lots, Option 2 included building one (1) large parking lot on the west side and one (1) large parking lot on the east side. Option 3 included a large parking lot on the east side of the park with one hundred twenty-four (124) parking spaces at cost of approximately $436,000.00. It was explained to the neighbors that if this option was chosen the parking lot could not be built until 45th Avenue was constructed. The citizens were told that City Council had awarded a contract to design the expansion of 45th Avenue and to bring 45th Avenue to tie into Longspeak Street. Staff will be prepared to complete the design in early 2018 and the 45th Avenue extension and the parking lot construction would be completed in late 2018 or early 2019. Director Wardle explained that the expansion of 45th Avenue and Longspeak Street are the responsibility of the Brighton Crossing Developer and they would not be completing those until the developer prepares to develop the property. This is not in their plan any time soon. The City of Brighton has committed to building the two (2) streets and will work with the developer to be reimbursed for the construction of the streets.

 

Staff changed the design of the parking lot to accommodate ninety-nine (99) parking spaces, which will save the City $100,000.00 and should still accomplish the goal of getting cars off of the streets. Handicap spaces will be added and trails will be constructed into the park to allow for handicap accessibility into the park. The Soccer Association brings in food trucks and parks them in the park for concessions. There will be spaces in the parking lot to accommodate the food trucks. There will also be an area for the Soccer Association to store their goals during the off season. The new 45th Avenue alignment will be constructed prior to the completion of the parking lot.

 

The cost for construction of the parking lot is $335,309.00 and the funds are budgeted in the 2018 Capital Improvement Funds. There are also some 2017 funds budgeted that will be rolled over to help fund the project. The construction of the lot will occur in conjunction with the construction of 45th Avenue. The design for the parking lot will be completed by the end of 2017. These plans will be included in the plans for the construction of 45th Avenue and they will be bid as one (1) project to get a better price.                      Director Wardle answered questions from Council regarding:

                     Staff considering placing No Parking signs along Midland and monitoring the round-a-bouts for people parking there.

                     The reason it was decided to finish 45th Avenue before Longspeak Street.

                     

Thomas Hall, 4609 Midland Street, Brighton. Mr. Hall asked if there will be a possibility of adding more parking spaces in the future and where those would be located. Director Wardle reported that if the parking lot is consistently full, the City will find additional funding for expansion of the existing parking lot.

 

Wendy Dominy, 483 Oxford Drive. Ms. Dominy expressed her concern regarding the construction of 45th Avenue and the parking lot and stated that the residents in the area feel that widening Longspeak Street is the priority. Ms. Dominy is also concerned about the safety issues in the area since the roadways are not completed.

 

Matt Johnston, 4787 Longspeak Street. Mr. Johnston reported that the issues he brought to Council in March regarding East Brighton have not been addressed. The neighborhood feels that it is more important to build Longspeak Street before a parking lot is built. Mr. Johnston asked that the Resolution be amended to address these issues. 

 

City Manager Rodriguez explained that the City is committed to completing the parking lot and the roadways and asked Director Wardle to go over the timeline regarding this issue.

 

Parks and Recreation Director Gary Wardle reported that the construction of 45th Avenue, Longspeak Street and the parking lot were discussed at the public meeting. When the south parking lot was chosen by the neighborhood, staff explained that the parking lot could not be completed until 45th Avenue was constructed. At the time the meeting was held in August, City Council had already awarded the contract for the design of 45th Avenue and the extension. The design should be completed at the beginning of 2018 and there is funding in the 2018 budget to build the parking lot. The contract for the design of Longspeak Street will be brought to Council for award in 2018. There are limited funds available so the construction of 45th Avenue will be done in a different budget year than the construction of Longspeak Street. The budget to construct Longspeak Street is either in the 2018 or 2019 budget. The design of the parking lot and the 45th Avenue extension will be completed together. Staff hopes to have the construction of the parking lot and 45th Avenue completed in 2018 or 2019, depending on any construction delays. A storm water solution will also have to be designed to accommodate the 45th Avenue and Longspeak Street construction. There are a lot of facets that need to be looked at for the construction of the parking lot, 45th Avenue and Longspeak Street. To get road design done properly and make sure all of the bases are covered takes six (6) to eight (8) months to design. Director Wardle and City Manager Rodriguez answered questions from Council regarding:

                     The way staff will communicate with the residents in the area to keep them informed regarding Donelson Park.

 

                     Motion by Councilmember Humbert, seconded by Councilmember Bell, to approve Resolution                      2017-111 approving the Master Plan for the Donelson Park Parking Lot to be located at the southeast corner of Donelson Park and accommodating 99 parking spaces. Motion passed by the following vote:

 

                     Aye:                     9 -                      Mayor McLean, Mayor Pro Tem Kreutzer, Councilmember Baca, Councilmember

                     Bell, Councilmember Edwards, Councilmember Humbert, Councilmember Kniss,

                     Councilmember Pollack, and Councilmember Wallin

                     

                     C.                     A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF BRIGHTON, COLORADO SUPPORTING                      BRIGHTON BALLOT ISSUE # 2J REGARDING EXPANDING THE APPLICATION OF                      THE CITY’S USE TAX TO CREATE AN ADDITIONAL REVENUE SOURCE FOR THE                      CITY TO PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICES POSSIBLE TO ITS RESIDENTS,                      INCLUDING, PUBLIC SAFETY, SAFE AND WELL MAINTAINED STREETS AND                      PARKS, RECREATIONAL FACILITIES FOR CITIZENS OF ALL AGES, GOOD                      QUALITY WATER, AND VARIOUS AMENITIES THAT THE CITIZENS HAVE ASKED                      FOR AND APPRECIATE; SETTING FORTH THE CITY’S BELIEF THAT THE                      REVENUES FROM THE USE TAX WILL ENSURE THAT GROWTH PAYS IT OWN                      WAY; AND URGING ALL VOTERS IN BRIGHTON TO VOTE ‘YES’ ON BALLOT ISSUE                      # 2J

 

                     Mayor McLean read the title of the Resolution into the record.

 

City Manager Rodriguez introduced City Attorney Margaret Brubaker.

 

City Attorney Margaret Brubaker explained that City Council took action to place this item on the ballot. The Finance Department staff has been working hard to find additional revenue sources to manage citizen expectations that there are quality parks, streets and public safety. A use tax is a sales tax that is charged against a purchaser who has purchased personal property but did not pay sales tax. Anyone that pays sales tax will not pay use tax. If a business comes to the City of Brighton and they purchase equipment, machinery, furniture and fixtures from an entity outside of the State of Colorado, they do not pay sales tax. The City has determined that based on the review of other cities in the Metropolitan area, most of them charge a use tax and the City of Brighton does not. There should be a level playing field for those that do pay sales tax. The City of Brighton currently has a use tax on construction materials and motor vehicles. City Council placed this issue on the ballot and is encouraging the citizens to support expansion of the existing use tax to include all personal property that is purchased and the purchaser does not pay sales tax. City Attorney Brubaker answered questions from Council regarding:

                     Confirmation that this use tax is already on the books but this ballot issue will allow the City to expand the collection of the use tax if it is approved.

                     This use tax not being a unique tax to Brighton.

 

                     Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Kreutzer, seconded by Councilmember Bell, to approve Resolution                      2017-112 supporting Brighton Ballot Issue 2J Regarding expanding the application of the City’s Use Tax to create an additional revenue source for the City to provide the best services possible to its residents, including, public safety, safe and well maintained streets and parks, recreational facilities for citizens of all ages, good quality water, and various amenities that the citizens have asked for and appreciate; setting forth the City’s belief that the revenues from the Use Tax will ensure that growth pays its own way; and urging all voters in Brighton to vote ‘yes’ on Ballot Issue 2J. Motion passed by the following vote:

 

                     Aye:                     9 -                      Mayor McLean, Mayor Pro Tem Kreutzer, Councilmember Baca, Councilmember

                     Bell, Councilmember Edwards, Councilmember Humbert, Councilmember Kniss,

                     Councilmember Pollack, and Councilmember Wallin

                     

                     D.                     A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON, COLORADO                      EXPRESSING ITS SUPPORT FOR DISTRICT 27J BALLOT ISSUE 3D TO                      AUTHORIZE A MILL LEVY INCREASE, TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS OF                      THE CITY OF BRIGHTON AT A REGULAR MUNICIPAL MAIL BALLOT ELECTION TO                      BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 7, 2017; SETTING FORTH THE REASONS THAT THE                      PASSAGE OF BALLOT ISSUE 3D IS IMPORTANT TO THE CITIZENS OF BRIGHTON;                      URGING THE CITIZENS OF BRIGHTON TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF DISTRICT 27J                      BALLOT ISSUE 3D; AND SETTING FORTH OTHER DETAILS RELATED THERETO

 

                     Mayor McLean read the title of the Resolution into the record.

 

City Manager Rodriguez reported that City Council asked that this Resolution be presented for consideration.

 

Dr. Chris Fiedler, 1568 Wildflower Drive, Brighton. Dr. Fielder thanked City Council for their support of School District 27J Ballot Issue 3D and explained the need for additional funds in the School District for the students.
