ITEM 12 - PUBLIC COMMENT
Public Comments are not a verbatim transcription but rather an attempt to capture the intent of the speaker by the City Clerk.
James Mace - Ward 2
Asked for clarification on the prostitution ordinance.
Councilman Murphy - Stated the ordinance he is referring to is considered an area restriction. A prostitute that has been convicted of this crime in Lakewood can be restricted from certain areas in the City. If they are found in a restricted area they can be asked to leave or be convicted a second time. Stated it is in effect now.
James Mace
Stated it does not say they can be asked to leave. It says it is against the
law any time money exchanges hands.
Councilman Murphy - Stated it is an area restriction that covers Colfax to Simms.
City Attorney Roger Noonan - There are two aspects to the ordinance. The first aspect states it is a crime to participate in prostitution. If a person is prosecuted in municipal court, that person is subject to a fine and/or jail time. The second aspect gives the ability for the municipal judge to put a prohibition for the prostitute from taking up any residency within a restricted area. It was an attempt to try to take repeat offenders off of Colfax.
Benjamin Herrera - 1380 S. Depew, Lakewood, CO
Thanked Councilors Anderson and Murphy and Gail Spencer from Community Planning
and Development for their help regarding his previous concerns. He has seen
an improvement in the neighborhood. Stated he would be running for public office
in the upcoming election.
Brent Hesterwerth - 13824 W. Nevada Pl., Lakewood CO
Asked when construction would begin for the Saint Anthony's Hospital. Stated
he is interested in volunteering at the hospital.
Brian Wareing - Unincorporated Jefferson County

statistics regarding roads, developments, traffic and the cost for residents.
