And again, although the format for public comment does not allow us for an interactive discussion, we do listen and consider everything you have to give us feedback on. It is really important to us. All right, I'll give you this caller for speaker. Gretchen Coyle. And will you please state your first and last name and your address? Gretchen Coyle, 7389 Timberstone Street. Mayor Angerman and city council members, I am speaking tonight because I am unable to attend the eligibility hearing on February 24th. You have seen my letter. opposing the Crow's Nest annexation, where I address two key questions. One, is the Crow's Nest a good fit for Castle Pines? And number two, does Castle Pines want to expand its boundaries? So tonight I want to speak about a different but very important issue, the quote-unquote financial benefit of Crow's Nest. This map shows the annexation petition boundary, and I'm displaying it because pictures are worth a thousand words. When my neighbors see this map, the reaction is always the same. They say, this doesn't make sense. The land doesn't touch Castle Pines. Tim Crosness actually be annexed to Parker. Then they ask me, Gretchen, why is our city considering this? And I tell them, it's money. It's always about the money. In my experience, developers always overstate and inflate the financial benefits of their projects, and it's no different here. But hey, don't take my words for it. Instead, focus on the independent fiscal analysis performed by the firm the city hired. which found major overstatements. Here are just three examples. Number one, the developer inflated the 20-year property tax total by $16 million because they assumed all 4,000 units were going to be built in year one. Number two, the developer double-counted sales tax revenues. And three, the developer understated the annual operating costs of the new area by nearly $6 million per year. So, counsel, if this huge amount of money the developer is promised in Castle Pines is the reason you are considering approving Crow's Nest, then I urge you to rely instead on the realistic and much lower financial projections provided by the independent firm. And then you must compare the actual financial benefit of Crow's Nest to the overall deficit of Crow's Nest. What do you mean, Greg, when you say what's a deficit? What are you talking about? I'm talking about what makes Castle Pines special. People love Castle Pines because of its charming small-town character, its abundant open space where wildlife thrive, as well as how it provides residents with a sense of community and a feeling of belonging. Don't put your residents' love about Castle Pines at risk by basing your annexation decision on cross-nets, misleading, and overly inflated financial projections. Thank you. Thank you. We have another speaker. We do Paula Nakayama. Good evening, Mayor, City Council, and City staff. Thank you for the chance to speak. from the heart. My name is Eva Lorena, and I moved into Castle Pines in 2020. My family bought our home in the canyons, a dream that turned into a nightmare with JP Homes, who delivered a shoddy product, a mere four out of 10 in quality. It took over a year of battles and endless emails to fix it. But amid all the frustrations, I found solace in the wild beauty that surrounds us. The cows grazing, the deer roaming, the long-horned antelope on the rolling hills, and the trails that whisper Colorado's true spirit. For six years, I have escaped to lively main streets of Parker, Castle Rock, and golden, places buzzing with visitors, families dining, shopping, and connecting. When I stay local, I go and hang out at Duke's. That's my refuge, beautiful community place. So here it is. Where is my place here in Castle Pines? I waited in the sidelines hoping for that same warmth. Instead, I've been disappointed and frustrated with all your plans. A massive maze of homes and apartments choking our landscape without a soul. Look at our gateway, the I-25 exit onto Castle Pines Parkway. It's a truck stop. We have three gas stations within one mile. And we have a storage unit and the Walgreens. For a quick revenue, Castle Pines incorporated in 2008, 18 years ago. Yet our community events huddled in parking lots, right? Just right outside the venue right now. That's a venue for 12,900 residents. Is that the best we can do? Where is our main street? Where is our gathering place? It's been 18 years. Residents from the canyons and beyond are rallying together in outrage right now. You are building homes and erasing what makes this place special. The driest winter we have just experienced is screaming global warming, filled with relentless construction and traffic. Two weeks ago on Monarch Boulevard, a neighbor halted traffic to help 15 deers cross safely. That's our reality. We are invading their homes. It's time for a change. Stop flooding our city with massive homes on tiny lots. Honor our wildlife and our environment. Let's get a true heart here in our town. Let's have lively fundraisers. Let's have a... Performing Arts Center, let's have our Main Street, and let's stop building so many massive units here. Let's honor our wildlife. Let's get our community together. Please build that Main Street and stop catering to our builders. Thank you. Thank you. Do we have any additional speakers? We do not. All right. Thank you very much. We will go ahead and move on to the presentation of our minutes. Are there any corrections to the minutes from the January 27th, 2026 City Council meeting? Hearing none, the minutes are approved as presented. Next is our Consent Agenda. On tonight's Consent Agenda is Resolution 26-09, which amends the City Council policy on public records. and Resolution 26-10, which approves an agreement for service between the City of Castle Pines and CORE Electric Cooperative for the installation of streetlights on the Monarch Boulevard and Buffalo Trail roundabout. May I have a motion for the items on consent, please? May I move to approve the items on consent? I second the motion. A motion and a second. Deputy Clerk Roy, please call the vote. Mayor Inkerman? Yes. Councilmember Cole? Yes. Councilmember Eubanks? Yes. Councilmember Salazar? Yes. Councilmember Winninger? Yes. Councilmember Mulvey? Yes. The motion passes. Thank you. All right. Moving on to a general business. Our first item on general business is resolution. 26-11, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Castle Pines, Colorado, awarding a bid and approving a construction contract with OAK Colorado LLC for the 2026 Community Center renovation, project number 2026-PR-001. Our presentation will be given by Parks, Trails, and Open Space Director Marcus Graves. I'll turn it over to you, Marcus. Great. Good evening, Mayor and Council. The policy question for now tonight is whether to award the construction contract for the community center renovation to OAK Colorado LLC. This project will modernize the community center by upgrading lighting, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems, improving accessibility, and creating permanent meeting space for city council boards and commissions. These improvements will enhance the facility's safety, functionality, and long-term usability for the community. Specifically, upon completion, there will be a permanent dais for council, city committees, municipal court, and other quasi-governmental entities. There will also be a separate conference room that can be used for council for executive sessions. We have a few slides that show proposed renderings based on the architectural designs. Katie, if you don't mind putting those up. Actually, Charlie. Oh, up there. I'm sorry. All right. The first one, this is as you're walking in from the double doors entering into the facility. Quite a change. Some of the things that you'll notice that we're doing here is we've backed that back wall up. It doesn't give a lot of depth in this picture, but where that current old presentation room was. is going away, and then this will be backed up into there. The ceiling will be raised, but then we'll have the, for acoustics, the false ceiling, the drop, that'll also hide wires and AV and other equipment and stuff on that. And then adding AV fixtures in there, you can see two TVs. As we go through the slides, you'll see some more TVs. Next slide, please. This is another angle from looking back. This one you can kind of see the conference room in the corner. Currently that's open space. And then there's another one. It doesn't show this real well, but there is already a conference room on the other side that the Metro District uses. So it really matches that. We don't have on here, because on there it's rendering, but there will be shades. I know that's been a comment. When I talk with staff and stuff, they're like, well, that's pretty exposed, like a fishbowl, but there will be shades on those windows. Next slide, please. Another one as you're coming, this is from that standpoint of where that current conference room is, kind of shows you where some of these TVs will be placed. There'll be a TV behind council, behind the dais, and then there'll be two on the side, so you'll have some good angles to see those. They'll all be able to be viewed, and then the audience ones as well will be out there. Next slide, please. And this is where you guys looking out, seeing the wonderful crowds that come. You kind of give you an idea of the depth of it, the ceiling, the new look with the conference room. And that'll be nice for those times you weren't having those, or like earlier when you have interviews and stuff where you don't have the full setup where you can go in between. So next slide, please. And this is truly your point of view. So you'll have the dais, the podium. There will be a wall that will come together, an accordion wall that will separate so that this stays separate so that the AV equipment is in place and not have to be set up so that the ideal is that it's working great each and every time we have a meeting and we don't have some of the hiccups that we've had before with the things that we've done. And then those two on the side, similar to the desk we're sitting at, those are actually mobile, where the dyos will be stationary. It's built in place and designed. The ones on the side do move because of that wall that comes in closer so that they can be moved so that everything can be brought inside there. And with the thought of that, we are still upgrading this space for our community, for the community center. So we do rentals. We have HOA meetings that rent it out and stuff like that. So it will be an overall upgrade. created for the community. Much needed if you've been in that space. It serves its purpose real well, but it's due for a facelift. And I don't believe there's a next slide. Oh, there is. So that's looking in the conference room, looking out. Again, there will be blinds. So thank you. We'll be in that finish goal. All right. With that being said, we'll keep going here. The city issued an invitation for bid and received 13 bids through the electronic bidding process. City staff reviewed all submissions for responsiveness and compliance with the bid requirements. Five firms were determined to have been responsive to the bid. Based on the subsequent scoring and evaluation, OAK was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff checked references for OAK for a similar project, and all references were positive. The resolution would award the project to OAK and not to exceed amount of $602,873 for the construction contract and approve a 30% contingency in the amount of $180,861.90, which would authorize the city manager to execute change orders as needed to address unforeseen conditions during construction. If approved tonight, staff will proceed with contract execution and issue a notice to proceed so work can begin as scheduled. It is our goal to hold the first meeting, council meeting in July and our remodeled space for the council meeting. I'm happy to answer any questions. Thank you. I have two, so I guess I'll go round robin here. Yeah, round robin, yes. Marcus, what is the width of the dais of this new space verse here? When I look at the picture, it looks like if you're sitting on the side of the dais, you won't be able to see the entire ordinance. It's very comparable to what we have now, the width. We based it on what we currently have. I don't have those numbers right offhand, but I can get you that information. We do have it on the construction drawings. I don't need the features, but it looks like maybe there's... Columns or something? The columns are currently there. They do sit back. So there will be some obstruction, but minimal. I think they're a little overemphasized in this because we are putting currently there's some, they're round and we're putting a design around them, but they've become a little more prominent. So I think they've featured that at the trunks a little bit more. Thank you. That was my question about the columns. They already exist. Yeah, I don't like them. Yeah, and they are for structure, so they have to be there to distract all issues. And these drawings are from OAK? Correct. No, no, no, I'm sorry. These are from Orsillo Architect. They're the architect we used. They prepared all the drawings, the architectural, the electrical, mechanical. That's how we based our bid. So we got the drawings and everything first and then based the bid on that information. And then the one that did the rendering was Orsillo, who was our architect. Thank you. Council Member Mullen? I'm curious, it looks like you moved back to use the top part of the theater space. What happens to the rest of the theater space? Because it went down. I'm just curious. Correct. It will create a nice storage space. Due to the upstairs, losing that conference space upstairs with the design, That's why we brought that more accessible conference space down. So you don't have to go up the stairs anymore. So you don't have that conference space there. And the Metro District does have some files and stuff in a closet. So we're creating another storage space underneath there for that. So the conference room back at the top is going away as well. Correct. Yep, that one will go away. The window, the outlook, the crow's nest will still be there. The conference room is being moved to Dowsett. I heard you correctly. The diet is the same size as the one we had. Roughly, yes. We've got to base it on everything, even the space. This space right here, we've even measured that to try to get those to be roughly the same. No questions? Council Member Eubanks? Thank you, Mayor. So, Marcus, you mentioned the $6 million, and then you said a 30% contingency of a million. That doesn't matter. No, 100,000. Did I say a million? I'm sorry, 600,000. 602,876. 100,000. You also said a contingency of 30%. For 180,861. I just misunderstood. No, no, I probably went through that very fast. And, Mayor, we are, just to be clear on the diet size, we are limited because of the space that it's going into, right? So we're trying to maximize. that and still have the ADA walkway. And also on the ADA, and I know it was alluded to, but we are completely redoing the men's and women's bathrooms because they are not ADA compliant and they don't meet the number of stalls necessary based upon max occupancy. So that alone is a significant improvement as well for this space, both for us as we use it and the general public when they rent it. And also within the property too, the kitchens, updating the kitchen, getting new appliances in the kitchen as well. So that'll be an upgrade there as well. From the 1970s. I'm sorry, Molly, did you have a question? Yeah. Does this cost include the outside work? No, it does not. This is only the inside portion. My question then relates to the fact that the outside, the stairways and stuff seem to be in need. Did we have a plan for that? Yeah, we're looking at doing some separate work. There's some very minor ADA improvements that we have to make before we officially move over there, but it's basically pennies on this. And then we're working as a separate project to look at those. They're not really retaining walls, but they are. They kind of look and act like retaining walls that the Metro District has been refacing constantly and trying to figure out. What can we do as a long-term solution? So we're still working on that. But to your question, Council Member Mulvaney, this is all interior remodel work at this point. So. Additional questions? Sorry, it's not related. But speaking of the exterior, is there a plan for parking eventually? I think parking is pretty limited. Yeah, great question. Yeah, so there is an entire outside project that we're working on as well. But where we have the black fence right now, That is being moved away from there, and then we're working with community development to look at using that same general area for parking and probably do a temporary parking solution right now until we come back with a longer range and we have a better idea of what we're going to do because a permanent parking with lighting, landscaping, drainage, all of that would be a fairly significant cost. But we're looking at that because we definitely will need that additional parking. And we're also working with the Metro District because they store some of their, you've probably seen it, some trailers and trucks up there and getting them to move that to where they have some other storage areas. So that will free up a couple of spaces just in the short term. Additional questions? I would like to add a little two cents to the exterior because I know it might take time to do the steps in the egress. But it's really bad in the snow. The surface doesn't treat well. So I wonder if we could have that in mind for the future as needing extra treatment. And the lighting is very bad. So I would ask that we take the moment to improve the lighting on the egress, especially from the parking lot. Additional questions? On the drop ceiling, is that a noise-proofing drop ceiling, or is it just for aesthetic? Because the sound quality is not good currently in there. Correct. The intent was to help with that, to bring that down a little bit. That was to bring that down. It does both. It is acoustic and. Okay. So it's not just aesthetic. It actually will help. Yeah. Any additional questions? All right, seeing no more, may I have a motion to begin discussion, please? Mayor, I move to approve resolution number 26-11, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Castle Pines, Colorado, awarding a bid and approving construction contract with OAK Colorado LLC for the 2026 Community Center, renovation project number 2026, 0-0-1. Second. Motion and a second. All right. Is there any further council discussion, Councilman Dewey-Bakes? No discussion. Just I will tell you I'm excited about this. It's been a long time coming, I think. I'm glad that we have a space or will be in the summer of 26 to have a space not only for this council but for the other boards as well as a revitalized community center. So I'm all in favor and I'm excited for the summer. Councilor McColl? If it's possible that we have speakers in some place in the ceiling or whatever to carry it back. Yeah, I didn't touch base on that, but we will have a new AD system as part of this project. So completely revamped on what we're doing now. So yes, we'll take that into account. Thank you. No more drop mics. Any additional discussion? All right. Deputy Clerk, going to please call the vote. Council Member Cole? Yes. Mayor Ingerman? Yes. Council Member Salazar? Aye. Council Member Winninger? Yes. Council Member Mulvey? Yes. Council Member Eubanks? Aye. The motion passes. All right. Next on our agenda is Resolution 26-12, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Castle Pines, Colorado. appointing regular members to the Combined Planning and Zoning Commission Board of Adjustment. On February 3rd, City Council interviewed 11 candidates for the three open seats on the Planning Commission. Because of the number of highly qualified applicants, this was not an easy decision. City Council would like to thank everyone that applied and their willingness to volunteer and serve the city and the community. May I have a motion to begin discussion? And I think I believe in front of you there's a note that has the three candidates to fill in the blanks for the motion. Sure. Mayor, I move to approve Resolution 26-12, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Castle Pines, Colorado, appointing regular members to the Combined Planning and Zoning Commission. Board of Adjustment, and insert the following names into the blanks on the resolution. Kevin Rohrbach, Celise DeMarteau, and Bobby McCabe. Second. Motion and a second. Second. Is there any further discussions? Council Member Mulvey, I see your mic on. Did you have further discussion? No, I'm just getting ready to vote. All right, well, thank you again to all those candidates. We really appreciate your time, and it was a very hard decision. We had some very well-qualified candidates, and you should all be receiving emails today from me probably right around now. I think I had a time for 7 o'clock in light of our decision this evening. But I do encourage you to consider serving in the community in other capacities and come back to us again in the future when we have future board appointments, too, because you guys were all great candidates. Clerk, go ahead until you please call the vote. Council Member Eubanks? Aye. Council Member Mulvey? Yes. Council Member Salazar? Aye. Mayor Ingerman? Aye. Council Member Cole? Yes. Council Member Weniger? Aye. Yes. The motion passes. Thank you very much. We're moving on to our final item on general business, which is resolution 25-13, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Castle Pines, Colorado, approving the City Council appointees to various committees and boards for the 2026 and 2027 calendar year. May I have a motion to begin discussion, please? Sure. Mayor, I move to approve Resolution 25-13, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Castle Pines, Colorado, approving the City Council appointees to various committees and boards for 26 and 2027. Second. And just to be clear, we had an error in that. It said Resolution 25, so it should be 26-17. Okay. It does. Well, I read it wrong, then, Michael. Can you read the motion back on, too? Thank you. I move to approve Resolution 26-13, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Castle Pines, Colorado, approving the City Council appointees to various committees and boards for 2026 and 2027. Now is our second. Thank you. I have a motion and a second. I'll go ahead and begin discussion. Councilman Rebanks, do you have further discussion? Not a discussion, Mayor. Personally, I'm looking forward to serving on the same boards and advisory boards that I have been. I will say that currently I serve as the chair of the Centennial Airport Roundtable. We do have an election in March, so I don't know if I will still be chair after that, but I look forward to continuing serving on the ones that I'm being appointed to. Any additional discussion? Council Member Mulvey? I want to ask about the opioid abatement council. It's not something I would have the bandwidth for, and I also have a standing order of movement, but I'd like to see if we could be informed about the happenings. Council Member Hudson used to always bring it to us, and I really value that aspect of our being these liaisons, and so I like having all listen to one another and hear about it. So I just wanted to ask for that. Additional discussion? The bottom of the first page. Colorado Opioid Abatement Council. Any additional discussion? All right. Deputy Clerk Goins, will you please call the vote? Council Member Winninger? Yes. Council Member Moldy? Yes. Council Member Salazar? Yes. Council Member Cole? No. Council Member Eubanks? Yes. Mayor Ingerman? Yes. The motion passes. Thank you. All right. We're moving on to comments and reports. City Manager Pineda, do you have anything this evening to report? I'm not sure if we communicated that there will be no executive session requested this evening. And just in case we didn't communicate that, we did have a meeting. with the applicant today, but we don't have anything to update the council on, but we will have an executive session needed on the 24th. So just plan for that at the end of the night. Or possibly at the beginning, we will work on the calendar. That's all I have here. Thank you. Thank you. All right, go ahead and move on to council member report. Council member Mulvey, do you have anything to report this evening? No, next month I will. There's been a little... Quiet activity, except for a number of transportation plans, were approved. And I want to thank Mr. Nemo and Mr. Penny for being available to address some questions about that. We are on track to get the funding we need, but we still have a little bit of a gap, which you all know about for Happy Canyon Interchange. But it wouldn't come from the Dr. Cog funds. We don't think that the HUDs and the state funding is going to impact our plans for the Happy Canyon interchange. Council Member Cole? Just some interesting stats. Chris and I attended the first Centennial Notice Board. They gave us the year wrap-up. Centennial Airport in 2025, 306,458 operations. That's a lot of aircraft in and out. They had 9,325 noise complaints from 260 houses. 50% of the houses were the same household over and over. Castle Pines had four complaints to the year, two households. I think part of that is because if you look at the map of Centennial, the actual approach is actually to the east. It skirts right along the east boundary of our city. And I know they drift over occasionally, but right now we don't get a lot of complaints. But, you know, four complaints out of 9,000 in the same two houses. Thank you, ma'am. Council Member Eubanks? Thank you, ma'am. No, I have nothing to report tonight. Council Member Salazar? I have nothing to report. Council Member Wannaker? I don't have much to report. I just want to say that I was very impressed with all the candidates that have been coming and looking out for some of these committees and boards. And we have a great community with a lot of professionals. And I thank them for taking up urgent time to come and interview for some of these positions. All right. I would just say I attended the Lifetime Top-Off event. the other week with Council Member Mulvey and Council Member Blue. The lifetime looks great. The interior is pretty amazing. The space that's there and they are moving on as scheduled. So plan on their opening at the end of the year is still the plan. So that's an exciting celebration for them. And they one of the. Program managers told me that they employ roughly 300 people daily coming in and out of there doing different work. So it's a pretty big project and deployment opportunity in the city. Also, we had the Chamber's annual awards this this last week as well. They did an amazing job. We have some really talented businesses and business owners in this community as well as philanthropy and just. residents giving back to the community. And I was really here. It was great to see them awarded for all their time and hard work within the community. With that, we will go ahead and adjourn the meeting at 7.06 p.m. Thank you, everyone.
