Maurice Merlin, 3688 South Sherman, was present to
discuss matters of concern. He feels Englewood does not want
metropolitan authorities and should be self-reliant. He stated
that he hopes City Council will make it clear that they wish to
remain completely independent in the future.
Mr. Merlin also discussed donations to certain agencies.
He stated that Englewood citizens' money should not be given to
the United Suburban Chamber of Commerce because this is something
larger than the City; and, if they are to receive the money they
have requested, a Councilman should be on the Chamber of Commerce
Board. Mr. Merlin feels the Inter Faith Task Force should not
request donations from the City Council and individual citizens.
He stated that Arapahoe Mental Health and Alcoholic Detoxifica-
tion Center should be taken care of by the City, and Salvation
Army Youth Center should be taken over by the City as part of
the recreation program.
