Davidson suggested approving the ordinance with the amendment and instructions for the City Attorney to finalize the wording. Sisk moved that Council approve Ordinance No. 1246, Series 1997, with the following amendments: on page 5, bottom of page, 4b. shall state, "....but in no event shall extend more than 12" and 24" from the wall at the top."; on page 13, paragraph I, delete the words "....and proposed facilities" and change it to "within a 2-mile radius of the proposed site."; on page 14, paragraph P, the deletion of in the last sentence beginning with "...copies of notice to other providers, locations of other site with five miles, and...".; on page 17, paragraph 4 at the top of the page, asking the City attorney to come back with some language on maintenance hours. Tanoue suggested after the words "...regular maintenance...", adding "activities which create noise or utilize light in such a manor as to disturb the peace, quite and comfort of neighboring residents." Sisk accepted Tanoue's suggested wording. Sisk added to the motion allowing staff to develop language on the pole mounts, seconded by Mayer. Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 6 - 0 vote with Howard being absent. DISCUSSION/DIRECTION - REQUEST FOR POSITION STATEMENT BY DRCOG (1) GUIDE THE RIDE CTN BALLOT INITIATIVE Bill Simmons, City Administrator, stated that there are two ballot issues on the November ballot: Guide the Ride which would increase the RTD sales tax by .4% to a total of 1% and the Colorado Transportation Network proposal that would raise funds for highway purposes using various revenue sources, including a five cent/gallon fuel tax and other fees. DRCOG will be asking its various members to vote on this. Mayer was concerned about the CTN proposal as he had read in the Rocky Mountain News that Boulder County would be second from the bottom in terms of money spent on projects. Lathrop pointed out that what Louisville produces in revenue is totally disproportionate to what they are expected to receive in benefits from the Guide the Ride by a lot. Most of the money is being spent in the south Denver Metro area. He stated that its approximately 10 cents on the dollar of what we put in is what we get back, very little coming back. Mayer stated that RTD had said that when they build light rail lines in Denver and south, they would take those buses and add additional service in this area. As far as the Capital Construction Budget, we get virtually nothing. The MIS study has no provision for any funds to implement it other than the $300 million for the HOV lane at Broomfield. Lathrop wanted our money spent here.
