HOLIDAY PARADE Members reported on the Holiday Parade held in November. Mr. Roth and Mr. Nicholas served as the "clean-up detail" for the equestrian entries. III. LEAF & TIRE DROP-OFF PROGRAM November , 2003 The Leaf and Tire Drop-off program for 2003 was very successful. More leaves were collected in 2003 than in any of the previous three years. More participants are needed to staff this pro- gram , as most people seem to come in the last hour or so of the day to drop off leaves . It was suggested that KEB write a letter to Mr. Dave Flag at the City of Littleton suggesting extending hours on the two Saturdays from Noon until 2:00 p.m. to help ease the work load. IV. PUBLICIZE KEB EVENTS The need to publicize KEB events was brought up for discussion. It was suggested that Nancy Peterson of Safety Services be contacted and requested to provide KEB the opportunity to par- ticipate in the neighborhood "Night Out" program in August. KEB programs we particularly want to publicize are the household hazardous waste, held in September; and the Leaf and Tire Drop program, held in November. The need to get the word out on these programs was strongly emphasized. V. GOLF TOURNAMENT Jackie Edwards is serving as the Golf Tournament Chairperson. She reported that the mailing list and mail merge document are completed for mailing the letter. The Englewood Golf Course is available only on Monday , June 7 , Monday, June 14 , or Monday, June 21. The Committee had agreed to June 14 as the date for the Tournament.

Typical fees charged for tournament plan is $80.00 per player; this charge will remain in effect for the 2004 tournament. Linda Olson suggested using quadrants of the city to cover all bases and eliminate board mem- bers from overlapping each other. Ms. Edwards suggested assigning areas to each commissioner to concentrate efforts on for the Tournament. Ms. Ferber suggested that commissioners make contact with four major sponsors, and that two commissioners participate on each marketing visit. Companies listed to contact in- cluded: • Wal-Mart • Home Depot • Gart/Sports Authority • King Soopers • RTD • Burt • Nissan • Ralph Schamp • BMW • K-Mart • Enterprise Rent-a-car • Kumpf Lincoln • Ch uck-e-Cheese • Golf Shops • Table Steaks -coupons • Catalyst Golf Shop (golf balls) All KEB Commissioners are part of the "golf committee". Eric Crotty and Linda Olson will visit Gart and other major sponsors. Ms. Ferber will serve as back-up for Ms . Olson. Subcommittees need to be established. Ms. Edwards will outline subcommittees. Mr. Fruchtl was asked to obtain a list of all businesses in Englewood from the Economic Devel- opment di vision. He was also asked to obtain a map of Englewood for use by the members to apportion areas for business contact purposes. Mr. Fruchtl was also requested to get Mr. Crotty names of contact persons at Garts and other major sponsors. VI. RECYCLING PROJECTS The phone book recycling program was discussed . Committee members asked if the KEB logo is on the dumpster. Committee members are requested to check the dumpster periodically to see how full it is. The dumpster will be in place until mid-February . H:\GROUP\BOARDS \Keep Englewood Beautiful\Minutes\2 004\KEB-O 1-13-04 .doc 2 '\. • • It was noted that the KEB logo is not on the dumpster. Mr. Fruchtl will place the KEB logo on the dumpster to identify this effort as a KEB project. Another project the Committee is considering is that of cell-phone recycling. Mr. Fruchtl will investigate this project for potential participation. VII. CHAIRPERSON'S CHOICE Ms. Ferber offered her apologies to members regarding the November meeting (packet informa- tion was not sent to members in advance of the meeting). Ms. Ferber stated that elections for KEB officers will occur at the February meeting . She stated that she will not be available to serve as Chairperson in 2004. The membership needs to con- sider who will serve as Chair and Vice-chair. The need to elect a secretary was also mentioned for consideration. VIII. COMMISSIONER'S CHOICE The proposed 5-K run was discussed. A grant proposal needs to be prepared and submitted, and the Sports Authority needs to be contacted. Members were advised to discuss both sponsorship of the Golf Tournament and the 5-K Run when visiting the business community. A date for the 5-K Run needs to be established. The last week in August, to coincide with the Fun Fair, has been considered. The February agenda should also note discussion and establishment of the 5-K Run committee , promotion , and other facets of the proposal. Also, at the February meeting the KEB needs to discuss ways to include new mem bers in both events. A red/white/blue logo poster was displ a yed . Ms. Edwards will measure poster size at the Swed- ish Hospital bus stop. Ms. Edwards noted that KEB logos/signs are still up at bus stops that no one is keeping clean . It was suggested that new members be requested to take responsibility of cleaning the bus stops. Mr. Roth noted that City Council is supposed to meet with each commission/board once a year in a study session . It has been quite a while since the KEB has met with City Council. Mr. Kinton stated that he will contact the Library Commjttee to gage interest in participating in the 5-K Run. H:\GRO UP\BOARDS \Kee p En g le wood Beautiful\Minutes\2004\KEB -O 1-13 -04 .doc 3
