Lonnie reported that there are transients going to Michelle
Herren's house on Birch Avenue again. The Family Services
representative was contacted but she was reluctant to give out any
information.
Albert mentioned that the loading zone signs are still up where
Nature's Corner Flower Shop used to be. They should be taken down.
• Jim will check with the Street & Alley committee.
John said that he got the same phone call that Lonnie got, from
Mrs. Guenthner, regarding the transients.
Jim handed out and reviewed the Public Works Update of 4-18-95.
Jim reported that there is no further development on the city lots
in Cherry Hills.
Darrell McGillen said that Mr. McCann, the fire inspector, is here
tonight to discuss the Fox Lumber situation. He has not complied
with the fire codes in bringing up the sprinkling system at Fox
Lumber to where it should be.
There has been some activity at the vacated Merchants apartment
again. The Police department is aware of it and Darrell has talked
to Jim about it and he will check with Joe, the City Attorney,
also. It is believed that there are juveniles involved. There is
graffiti on the walls and evidence of a fire being started. If the
building starts on fire he will not send the firemen into the
building and jeopardize any lives.
The boarding up of doors and windows with plywood, which was
discussed several months ago, has not been done.
More discussion and Jim said that he will check with the 1991 code.
There are steps in there on what direction to take. Joe and Jim
have already discussed this to some degree.
? t {G
Donna asked if Fox Lumber has had enough time to comply with the
code? He has had since March of 1993, 2 years, to take care of the
sprinkler system problem.
More discussion regarding wholesale and retail business that Mr.
Fox is doing.
Mike updated the condition of John Rosenberg. During the past
month he has been fighting his cancer again real hard. It appears
that he will be resigning from the Police department some time this
week. His health has gotten to the point where he feels that he
cannot continue to assist in the operation of the Police department
and other officers say that safety is another issue.
Mike wants to meet with the personnel committee next week.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:53 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Don Hackmann
