“Carl. So does this have any restrictions on what Inglewood can sell water to other cities? Like we've sold the Highlands Ranch, Aurora, Denver. Is that going to continue that we can do that? I'm not really sure.”

“Actually, the forefathers couldn't see into the future of right now. Right now, the water is a serious issue. The whole state. And we're pulling water out of Chatfield, which is 59% full. And we're also pulling water out of the Denver Aquafo, which is going down 2 to 10 feet a year. So our water sources are drying up. And Denver is pulling water out of Dillon, which is 77% full. So everybody's having problems. So there's five years. What does it take to do it in three years? I mean, if things change drastically, we need to change it.”

“It seems like I remember a requirement that developers, if they wanted to develop in an area, and for them to do that, the water, sewer, or storm drain, if it's not adequate, they have to make it adequate.”

“If they have to replace the water main clear back to the water plant, they're not going to do it. I mean, they'll find some way to get out of it, or they'll move on. One of the two.”

“Carl. On the cars, if the buyer is an Englewood resident, then we get the taxes on a sales tax. If they're not driven in Englewood, then we don't get the gas sales tax, but I'd just as soon have them sit in the driveway anyway, as we got too many cars on the street. But what I was concerned about is if we don't have regulations on our water for development, they may or they may It may be a big target. Englewood could be a bullseye of a target. Englewood's got a lot of water. Let's go in there and we'll build an apartment in there. And there's plenty of water there. We don't have to worry…”

“Yep. Carl. There's a lot of issues with water. It affects everything. So watering in the parks. When can they water every day or once a week or whatever? Affordable housing, can they have a cheap tap fee so they don't overprice themselves out of the residence? Everything's connected to the water and sewer. So there's a lot of things going into this, and it really needs to take time to evaluate all of that. So it's a serious part of the regulations and stuff. So anyway, we've given it some time, so that's good. Michelle.”

“Carl? If it's a fire, there could be other things there, but If it's a fire, it should be cleaned up within a year to get all the debris out of there. And the permits can be, I don't know, two or three years working from the time of the fire until they actually build. I know some of these apartments around here, the Elks Club, they haven't even started building over there. Four years, five years.”

“Yeah, okay Anybody have any thoughts other than otherwise Carl No matter whether it's fire what if if the house is made Not livable. Like it's a meth house or too many rodents in there, fire, whatever. Whatever creates it to be non-livable should be cleaned up or I think within a year or something. I think there should be a time frame on that.”

“There's a couple trailer parks down on Santa Fe. If one trailer catches on fire, it's basically going to destroy three. It's the primary and the neighbors of it. So are these regulations applied to trailer parks?”

“So we have a lot more rentals or apartments nowadays. It's probably up to the owner of the apartment building, not the renter, if there's a fire in an apartment.”
