to give any fin:mci ul in fo rm ati on as to wh y lh ey th ink 1hey need ass istanc e. Wheth er .. icy arc work ing or no!, so me
fee l th ey need c:<U u food to gel through rhe week . For so me it is 1he choice bet wee n medi ci ne or food . We lry not
to put an ybody in an unco mfort able position . We have been going fo r two years a nd we ar e fee din g an ywh ere fr om
250 to 35 0 peop le a week . It is geting large r and 1hat is wi1hou1 adve rti sin g, beca use we can 't adverti se, we don't
have !h e funds for 1ha1. Bui, th ere is a greater need. We are hav ing more and more wo men with childrcn ... eve n
having more and more people fr om working familie s. Where the hu sband and wife arc bo th workin g, bul th ey arc
not making it. We fe el th :11 we are th eir connec1i on 10 be able 10 keep fr om becomin g homeless. So me of th em arc
on the street a·. they come off th e street. Some of them arc diabeti c and we try 10 get them food for th eir speci fi c
eating requirements to kee p them as health y as we can . Som e hitchhike 10 our pl ace ... when th ey co me we get them
rides to bring them bac k to where they need to go . We try 10 pro vide th e se rvice for the children . Wha1ever we .:an
get them and we lr y 10 gi ve them informati on. Some of them do n01 ha ve ph one s and cannot mak e ph one call s.
Whate ver we can do , we try to do for them. But , th e fund s are very limited and we do need fund s. We al so want 10
let you know thal we are av ailable . I do know that Roc ky Mountain say s th at for th at area we are the o nly food bank
th at they recommend, because that is the onl y o ne they know about in En glewood . I don 't know if that is tru e and I
ha ve not called around to see if there is another one . I do know that most food bank s will not help yo u, unl ess you
live in a certain area. We don't do that. Most of our pcop!e are from Englewood, bu! we have them coming in from
Sheridan , Aurora and Den ver, because sometimes they don't fit the criteria . If someone think s they d'ln't need th e
food , the y don'I get it and we don't do that to them . So everybody is welc ome under any circ um stance. If we can
help them ou1, then that is what we try to do. So, I am here to ask if there are an y fund s available . We are in
desperate need . Ri ght now we are running on about $500.00 a month . We have a rund own van. Councilm an
Woodw ard came down and I don 't know if he saw that, but that is wh at we use to transpon mos t of our food. It is
barely running . Then we also ha ve car insurance and gas expenses . That is where we are al ri ght now . We fill our
freezer s and our refr iQcrators and if we cannot store anymore , because we are so limited in spa ce, we pass that on to
a food bank that is in need . We are loo king for so mebody to donate space for us, because we are so limited as 10
•
what we can take in . I don 't like to have to tum down food, hut we have very limited storage. We need more space •
30 tha t when arc funds are low we can tide ourselves over. She said do you have any que sti ons?
Council Member Woodward saii1 I would like to mention that I first heard about the food bank at a Block Captain 's
meeting of Neighborhood Watch . One of the fellow bl oc k captains had brought it to my attention and had invited
me to co me on over and take ~ look. So one Frida y afternoo n, in earl y Dece mber, I went over . I was really
impressed . They had a numl,cr of volunteers putting together food box es to be handed out on Sunda y, I belie ve. In
the basement of their church the y had a cl othing store and all different type s of hou sehold malerial s for th ese people
in need wh o were coming in. Beck y happened 10 be sick th at day and not there. Bec ky and I we re neighbors. I've
kn own Becky for 15 years or more so I can personall y vo uch for Beck y and her hu sband . They are very in volved
and do a lot of great things for a lot of peopl e and ha ve for ye ars. So if th ere is anythin g th at we can do, I knf\W that
it wou ld help the communit y and help 1he people that need it Ms. Tod hunter said thank you .
Ma yor Garrett sa id th ank yo u ver y much .

(a) Mayor's Choice
Mayor Ga rrell did not ha ve any ma tters to bring befo re Counci l.
(b) Co un ci l Mem bers ' Choice
(i) Council Mem be r Barrentine said I wa nted to th ank the Public Works Department for
looki ng into some concerns involving the area am und the Gothi c Theatre rega rdin g parking . While that discussi cm
came up in an odd way, it generated a di scussio n about the permit parkin g that had to go into that communny, the
origin al agree ments the Gothi c Theatre made when the y originall y we nt in10 that comm unit y, the possibilit/ of
tryin g to use the shuttle to enhance the night life on Broadwa y and ma ybe access some of the parkin g for RTD that
is not being used as much at night and see if we can't help the City al l the way around with our image. So while it
may be th ei r own fault when the yo untsters are towcd ... maybc they are not reading the signs .. .it does n't leave a
good 1as1e in the mouth of people coming down here for night life in the Cit y. So, th ey have co me up with some
very nice idea s and arc pursuing th ose 1hings and I appreciate th e hard work that they have put in. Thank you.
(ii) Council Member Bradshaw :
I . She said kudos to Public Works for the job they did with the la st snow storm th at we had.
2. She said I would like to make a com ent to the National Honor Socie ty students. You guys arc great and
thank yo u so mu ch for caring . It is very unusual, I think , in thi s day and age that we see ad olescents who can think
outside themselves . So. you are a credit to yo ur sc hool and yo ur families. Thank you. There was applause .
(iii) Cou ncil Member Wolosyn :
I . She said I was goi ng to bring attention to the two requests we received toni ght. I know you checked to
make sure we havC' $1,000.00 . Mayor Garrett sa id yes we have $1 ,0CI0.00 of di sc retio nary fund s that we did not
all oca te in our Aid to Other Agencies budget.
Coun cil Member Brad sha w sai d okay , so we cou ld give $500 .00 to the Food Bank . Mayor C-"1Tctt said do yo u want
to basically deplete all the fund s? Th at wou ld be the qu es ti on. Ms. Brad shaw said I know, bul the food b&nk sou nd s
like the y arc rea ll y in need . I don't know how th e rest of the Council feels. but I would fee l co mfo rtab le with
$500 .00 going to the food bank .
Coun ci l Member Wolosy n said I fee l co mfortabl e with th at 100 and I'm thinkin g maybe S 100.00 to help kick off the
ts um an i fund . Ms. Bradshaw said absolut ely , no problem .
COUNC IL MEMBER WOLOSYN MOVED , AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO USE $6 00.00 OF TH E
DISCRETIONARY FUNDS : $500.00 TO THE CORNERSTONE CHURCH FOOD BANK AND $100.00 TO
THE ENGLEWOOD HIGH SCHOOL NATIONAL l!ONOR SOCIETY FOR THEIR TSUMANI RELIEF
