The public comment period will not be used to make political endorsements or for political campaign purposes.
Questions from the Board will be for clarification purposes only. Public comment will not be used as a time for problem solving or reacting to comments made but, rather, for listening to the comments of citizens without taking any formal action.

The Mayor may elect to defer public comment on a specific issue that appears on the regular agenda until that specific item is addressed.

TOWN OF ELIZABETH
Management Team May 12, 2020 Management Team - Monitoring Report Administration/Town Administrator – Matt Cohrs Town Trail – The pedestrian bridge over Running Creek just north of SH 86 is coming along with most of the concrete work completed. Grading of the trail south of SH 86 going to Running Creek Elementary School is ongoing. Concrete work on the trail starting at Evans Parks is scheduled to start this week as well. Community/ Economic Development – Grace Erickson Staff recently met with Emily Briggs from The Elizabeth Brewing Company regarding the 2020 Elizabeth
Farmers Market. The Elizabeth Brewing Company is seeking termination of the License for this year’s
farmers market. Staff and Ms. Briggs agree that terminating the license is necessary from a financial
standpoint due to the uncertainty in planning as well as a safety standpoint. Ms. Briggs would like to
potentially use the Town’s lot to host a local event this fall, pending the conditions at that time. The Town
could pursue a License or similar agreement with The Elizabeth Brewing Company at that time if conditions
allow. Staff is seeking the Board’s direction on termination of the License. Pending direction from the Board,
Staff would work with the Town attorney to formally terminate the License. Current License is attached.
Staff is recommending termination of the Agreement for Management and Delivery of the Elizabeth
Hops Fest, Wine in the Pines, and Mayor’s Tree Lighting Events between the Town and Lively Events, LLC.
Staff and Lively Events agree that cancellation of this year’s events is necessary due to the uncertain
conditions which could result in safety issues if events were held and financial loss if events were cancelled
after planning activities have taken place. Lively Events has spent $1,000 on the event so far but has paused
planning activities due to conditions. Staff is seeking direction from the Board on reimbursement for the
dollars spent along with termination of the agreement. The agreement is attached.
Per the last Board of Trustees meeting, Staff is working with our team to prepare a comprehensive list
of businesses accommodations propose to the Board. The accommodations would provide flexibility to
businesses in regard to temporary signage, food trucks, sidewalk sales, and parking lot sales. We anticipate
proposing a Resolution addressing a number of these items at the May 12th meeting.
Staff is working with the Main Street Board of Directors to continually provide outreach regarding
available resources. We anticipate a meeting in May to further discuss available resources and outreach.

TOWN OF ELIZABETH OFFICE OF THE TOWN CLERK
TO: Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees FROM: Michelle M. Oeser, Town Clerk DATE: May 8, 2020 SUBJECT: Virtual Court
SUMMARY On May 7th, a partially virtual court was held with steps for defendants to follow to ensure social distancing. Police Officers checked in defendants (step 1) and had them wait in their cars, or they could wait outside at a safe distance from one another. Four people were allowed in the courtroom at a time. There was an area to sit and wait (step 2) before the prosecutor called them in to meet with her (step 3). Once they finished with the prosecutor, they would go to a waiting area, or directly to a table with an iPad set up to meet with the judge (step 4). Judge White was in the conference room behind the boardroom with a computer. A zoom webinar was set up to facilitate the conversations between the Judge and the defendants. The clerk kept records and sent fine and fee amounts to the cashier at the front desk. Once the Judge ordered sentences, defendants went out and around to the front of Town Hall and to the front desk (step 5) to pay any fines and fees they may have been ordered to pay.
Little to no paperwork was exchanged. Classes were displayed on whiteboards for defendants to take pictures of. The clerk will mail any required paperwork to defendants after court. The Public Works Department built plexiglass dividers for the front desk and the prosecutors conference table. Directions were posted at check-in and signs were place for each step in the process, as well as arrows on the floor to direct traffic. Facemasks were provided and all, but one person wore a mask in court. No-one had a complaint on how the new court procedures went. The police department, judge, prosecutor and clerks had input into how to assure that the opening of the court was as safe as possible while continuing to provide defendants due process. The Elizabeth Municipal Court, to my understanding, was the third court to reopen since the COVID-19 closures.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees FROM: Grace Erickson, Assistant Town Administrator DATE: May 6, 2020 SUBJECT: Ordinance 20-02
SUMMARY
Ordinance 20-02 would amend Chapter 16 of the municipal code regarding horses and chickens. The proposed ordinance would allow up to twelve chickens on a property (currently up to six are allowed) and would allow required coops to be up to 240 square feet in size (currently 120 square feet is the maximum coop size allowed). Additionally, the proposed ordinance would allow property owners that have horses deemed a legal nonconforming use to keep the number of horses existing as of March 9, 2010, and replace a deceased horse to assure that two horses are kept during such time the use is a legal nonconforming use. Background The Board of Trustees originally passed an ordinance regulating horses, chickens, and livestock in 2010. The Board amended the regulations in 2019 to include miniature horses in the definition of horse and to add the definition of miniature horse to take into account Americans with Disabilities standards. An exemption was included for miniature horses that have been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. The 2019 amendment also set a limit on chickens to allow no more than six chickens per parcel, allowing hens and prohibiting roosters. The amendment included the requirement of coops with placement and dimensions. The Board of Trustees held a work session on horses and chickens on February 25, 2020, where the revisions in Ordinance 20-02 were discussed. The Board sought to allow the replacement of a deceased horse to assure two horses are kept during such time the use of a property is a legal nonconforming use. Additionally, the Board sought to increase the allowed number of chickens from 6 to 12 based on feedback received from Elizabeth residents. Public Notice Notification procedures have been completed as required in Chapter 16, Article IV of the Elizabeth Municipal Code.
Notice was published in Ranchland News March 19, 2020.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission held a hearing on the proposed amendments on May 5, 2020. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of Ordinance 20-02 to the Board of Trustees with the following conditions:
Add requirements for registration of horses on all properties, conforming and nonconforming,
within the town.
Omit the proposed amendment to Section 16-1-210.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION The amendments in Ordinance 20-02 are incremental in nature and were prepared per policy direction received from the Board of Trustees. An alternative ordinance has been provided based off feedback from the Planning Commission that would require registration of horses but would not allow a deceased horse to be replaced to ensure two horses on a legal nonconforming property. The amendments regarding backyard chickens are the same in both versions of the ordinance. Either version of the ordinance would be recommended by staff.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees FROM: Matt Cohrs, Town Administrator DATE: May 8, 2020 SUBJECT: Ordinance 20-03, An Ordinance Creating a New Article VI of Chapter 14 of the Elizabeth Municipal Code Entitled “Park Regulations”
SUMMARY Currently, the Town of Elizabeth does not have any specific language in our code that would apply to the regulation of park land areas, which includes the new town trail. Given the current progression of work on the town trail, a new ordinance is needed to create the regulations necessary for the trail and its use upon completion. Ordinance 20-03 creates the regulations which are needed for the trail, as well as better defined regulations for our existing park areas. Staff coordinated with the Town Attorney in reviewing existing park land regulations in other municipalities, especially related to trails, to prepare the new ordinance. The ordinance addresses topics such as hours of operation, vehicles, parking, littering, glass containers, vandalism, trail use (etiquette), and animals. Ordinance 20-03, if approved, would go into effect 30 days after its publication.

Honorable Board of Trustees Town of Elizabeth P. 0. Box 159
Elizabeth, CO 80107Attn: Mr. Matt Cohrs, Town Administrator
Re: Request for Repayment of Election Expenses
Dear Mayor and Trustees,
I have become aware that pursuant to the Colorado Revised Statutes, "if at any recall election the incumbent whose recall is sought is not recalled, the municipality may repay the incumbent for any money actually expended as expenses of such election when such expenses are authorized by C.R.S.A. 6 31-4-504.5" Section (2)(a) of this statute defines authorized expenses as including, but not being limited to, "moneys spent in challenging the sufficiency of the recall petition and in presenting to the voters the official position of the incumbent, to include campaign literature and advertising and the maintaining of a campaign headquarters."
According to the "Statements of Personal Expenditures by a Candidate" filed with the Town Clerk on March 16, 2020, April t, 2020 and April 24, 2020, together with supporting receipts, I personally expended a total of $1,163.74 to fund the cost of campaign literature and advertising to challenge the recall of my position on the Board of Trustees. I had no campaign committee soliciting contributions on my behalf nor did I receive a contribution or reimbursement of any kind. To that end, I believe that these expenditures are eligible for repayment according to the Colorado Revised Statutes as set forth above.
As you are aware and in light of the national and local states of emergency that we find ourselves a part of owing to the Coronavirus COVID 19 pandemic, members of our community are suffering tremendous difficulty in paying their bills and obtaining food to feed their families. Food banks to support urgent needs reach depletion within extremely short periods of time, and our rural location makes it nearly impossible to access more than a limited number of resources to keep our residents safe and fed.
Therefore, I respectfully request repayment of my authorized expenditures as outlined above so that I, in tum, can donate the entire sum, divided equally between Harvest Food Bank, Food Bank of Kiowa, and the E1izabeth Food Bank to support the urgent needs of citizens in our local Elbert County community. In light of dire circumstances brought about by this pandemic and the emergency declaration currently in place locally, I would very much appreciate your favorable consideration of this request. Food banks associated with Food Bank of the Rockies can purchase items for ten cents per pound to stock their shelves. This donation will make a significant difference for many of our neighbors in need.
