Commissioners Allen, Becker and Carson, and staff member Stitt have served on
a committee investigating the trash collection and disposal problem in Engle-
wood and possible solutions. The Commission discussed various recommendations
and solutions.
V. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
Mrs. Becker said she would like further information on the requests from the
Department Heads, which requests were discussed at the July 3, 1984, meeting.
Mr. Vargas said that the City has limited resources and Council has directed
that the Downtown Development be given priority. Mrs. Becker stated that
recommendations in the past have eventually been acted upon. Mr. Allen said
that council can at least be informed that the Commission perceives a problem
with the trash. Mr. Vargas suggested that the Commission submit a list of
concerns, and permit Council to choose which should be given priority when
funds are available.
The Commission discussed adding the trash collection and disposal report to
the list of Capital Improvements, but decided to make a separate report to
Council. It was decided to table the Capital Improvement Program until the
next meeting on July 17, 1984.
The meeting adjourned at 8:51.
