Summary
At its May 26 meeting the Englewood City Council unanimously adopted three resolutions: authorizing a CDBG application for an inclusive playground at Centennial Park, approving a contract for a US 40/SR 48 drainage project, and granting a 20% base-pay increase to Interim City Manager Della Stearns.
The Englewood City Council voted unanimously May 26 to authorize submission of a Community Development Block Grant application for an all-inclusive playground at Centennial Park, approve a contract for a US 40/SR 48 drainage Phase I project, and grant a 20% increase to the base compensation of Interim City Manager Della Stearns.
Councilman Steve Henne moved to adopt Resolution 11-26, authorizing the submittal of a CDBG application to fund an all-inclusive playground at Centennial Park; Councilman Brad Rarick seconded and the motion passed on a unanimous vote. The resolution authorizes the city manager to execute all CDBG documents associated with the project.
Council also adopted Resolution 12-26 to authorize the city manager to execute a contract with Performance Site Development for the US 40/SR 48 Drainage Phase I project. The motion to adopt that resolution was moved by Councilman Andrew Gough and seconded by Councilman Steve Henne; the vote was unanimous.
Finally, the council approved Resolution 13-26, authorizing a twenty percent increase to the base compensation of Interim City Manager Della Stearns in connection with her service. Councilwoman Courtney Rietman moved the pay increase and Fred Huelsman seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
None of the three resolutions recorded extended debate in the minutes. The council’s unanimous votes indicate formal approval to proceed with grant submittal, the drainage contract, and the personnel compensation adjustment. The minutes do not specify timelines or dollar amounts for the playground project or the drainage contract beyond the authorization to execute required documents and agreements.
The council meeting minutes list the vote roll calls for each adopted resolution and identify the mover and seconder for each motion. The minutes do not include direct quotes from council members on these items.
