As residential building continues in the City, the City needs to budget money to restore the Fire Department for safety reasons. (b) Jackie Edwards, an Englewood resident, spoke about hash oil. She mentioned that the Denver City Council is discussing banning hash oil. The danger would affect many people. A ban or license should be required. People should be discouraged to make this in their homes as it is dangerous. You should also limit the number of propane canisters that people get at one time. The explosion issue is mindboggling. Ms. Edwards said this was not occurring before recreational marijuana was approved . (c) Jan Weipert, an Englewood resident, spoke about the Fire Department. She believes in keeping the Fire Department close. They are here to serve and protect and we should not give it away. Once gone, we won't be able to get it back. We, the citizens, want them close. Ms. Weipert was surprised at the state of the department. We have options when spending the money. She applauds the communication center improvements, as well as improving the training. (d) Beverly Cummins, an Englewood resident, welcomed City Manager Keck. She said this City Council is known as the Flip-Flop Council. They are playing Russian roulette with the Fire Department.
