floor lobby outside the library, from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Mr. Huffman will bring a sign up
sheet to the next meeting, and will place the dates on the City's website and in the
Englewood Citi z en.
VI. SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP
Ms. Montague suggested that commissioners ought to be on no more than two
subcommittees. The intent of the subcommittees is to have fewer people focus more
specifically on work to be done and then bring decisions to the KEB monthly meetings for
rulings . The smaller subcommittees will allow more focused energies on the many areas
covered under KEB. Chair Olson stated that a full Commission is needed to fill out all the
subcommittees and encouraged that City Council fill the Commission in the next
appointment phase in June 2006.

also stated there is approximately $40,000 in a tree replacement budget that we may have
access to partner. Mr. Stitt will contact the Parks and Recreation Department to see about
partnering in the "1000 Trees" program .
