RV's. Boats, and Trailers

2010-07-23T10:46:00.002-06:00

There has been some hot discussion lately at City Council regarding whether or not people should be allowed to park their RV's, Boats, and Trailers on their property. City Council has put in a "Moratorium" on enforcement of these items in residents driveways. It still remains illegal to park any of these items on the street for more than 72 hours at a time.

Please add your comments and concerns on this issue! As always, I appreciate all comments. Please keep them respectful to all!

Should we continue to have Monthly or Quarterly Community Forums?

2010-05-10T13:22:00.002-06:00

Since January 2010 City Councilman Rick Gillit has held Monthly Community Forums. These Forums have been well attended in the past and Councilman Gillit is hoping to continue providing these Forums for the Residents of Englewoods 4th District and others that wish to attend. Mr. Gillit is pondering the thought of going to a "Quarterly" meeting instead of a "Monthly" meeting. The benefits of this is that the residents could get a full two hour presentation of all that has happened in the past quarter with details of what is happening that could be considered controversial or has mixed community reaction. The downside is that it may take a few months for everyone to be up to date on issues that may have been time sensitive.

What we are looking for here is your input on:

     #1) Do you attend and if so how do you like the presentations?
     #2) If you do not attend, would you mind sharing why?
     #3) For thise who have attended, how do you like the meeting place? Would you prefer another place?
     #4) Would it be better to have the meetings Quarterly or Monthly?
     #5) What topics interest you most that you would like Councilman Gillit to discuss?
     #6) Do you like Councilman Gillit 's email updates or do you find them uninforming?
     #7) Other than these Community Forums, how would you like to find out what is happening?

Should Englewood Provide Channel 8 Access of City Council Meetings??

2010-03-09T11:43:00.000-07:00

On Monday, March 8th, we had a Council Member say "Residents don't care what is happening with the city." I was appalled that one of our elected officials would say such a thing. I have been promoting having all Council meetings being broadcast on Channel 8 on Comcast and also streamed on our City Website like the city of Littleton does. I have told most of you that I am an "Open Government" advocate and believe that there should be equal access for all residents about what is happening in the city. It appears that I am the only one willing to push this issue so I am asking you what you think. Would you support having a 50 Cent addition to a Comcast Bill (Called a PEG Fee) per month to have all council and other Board meeting broadcast on TV? Comcast is willing to provide a Grant of $120,000 for equipment and set up that would be paid back by these PEG fees. I want to hear from you on what you think. Please sign in anonymously but if you would please give your first name and what street you live on. Your feedback is very important to me on this! Rick
