Old business.
Member Allen introduced "Make A Difference Day", Saturday, October
23, 1999. He solicited ideas on how to correlate activities for that
day with what we are doing as a group (ex: graffiti clean up). Member
Allen asked if anyone has been involved in a community project like
this before. Wicks mentioned the City of Englewood has some events
scheduled for that day. They need volunteers; maybe we can do
something along with what the city already has planned. Perhaps as a

group, like cleaning up an area in a park, or graffiti I litter along the
bike path. Wicks offered to contact the City and report at the next
meeting as to what was scheduled.
Member Roth stated his frustration about the litter around Safeway.
States he has called the Safeway Management before.
Member Hansen stated she has never seen the trash receptacle at the
bus stop by PharMor when it wasn't overflowing with trash. Says this
has an Englewood emblem on it. At the #0 and the #12 bus pick-up
locations, the trash is always overflowing. Wicks suggested to just
call it in to Parks & Rec to pick up the trash receptacles.
Member Hansen mentioned on Saturday, while picking up trash along
the river path, met people from the Clean, Green and Proud
Committee.
Member Fischback mentioned the upcoming dedication of athletic
fields at Clayton Elementary School. She indicated a house across the
street had pickups, trucks, and vans at this residence. It's an eyesore,
and asked if code enforcement could do anything about it. Lynn
mentioned it would be checked the next day .
Member Hansen asked if the property across from Waste Management
that's to be an extension of Centennial Park is bought and paid for?
How is it being paid for? Wicks added that the parties are still
negotiating and talking with the owners of the properties.
Member Allen asked if we have approval for the Parking Control
Officer position? Wicks mentioned it had been approved by the City
Manager but it hasn't gone before City Council yet. They recognize
the need for it. Members Hansen and Fischback agreed that there
would be a lot of traffic over at the new RTD station because of no
parking available at the Rec Center. People will have to park on the
street, creating the need for a Parking Control Officer.
Member Fischback asked what is being done for disabled seniors that
aren't able to clean up their property? What are we doing to help
them? Lynn responded the Malley Senior Center has a program with a
list of volunteers that is routinely offered in such cases.
Member Allen asked Wicks, concerning court appearances, what's
different now that wasn't being done a year ago? Wicks stated that,
in the past, we weren't citing people as often as we could have, and
we weren't prepared when it did come time to go to court. Byron

added that we did warm and fuzzies sweet-talk for two years, and we
aren't doing that anymore. Now 90% of it is education, and only
10% of the people don't get the message. We are concentrating on
that 10%, and court is often the only recourse for that group.
New Business.
Graffiti: Lynn received an educational kit in the mail for retailers, and
he forwarded it to Allen. It was discussed to see if the CEAC would
be interested in contracting with them to produce signs to distribute to
retailers/businesses in the city . Member Allen agreed to contact the
company.
Brochure: Lynn indicated he was working on a new Code
Enforcement brochure and will have a copy for discussion by the next
CEAC meeting.
