- Kit Darrow mentioned the EPRD election - she’s been on the EPRD Board for 4 years - 8% of our property tax goes to EPRD - get out and vote on Tues. 5/14 (7 AM - 7 PM at Wulf or Buchanan Rec Centers) - can also vote via absentee ballot - Kit endorsed Mark Footer in the election - Kit can be contacted at 303.679.9117.
- Martha Thaden at JeffCo Animal Control explained that more foliage cover, more trash, and less hazing, mean more coyotes in JeffCo foothills - she anticipates more, not fewer, problems with pets in the future - JeffCo takes coyote reports, but doesn’t have authority to take action on coyote vs. pet incidents - coyote vs. livestock or human incidents get JeffCo action - hazing (scaring) coyotes is good first step to discourage coyote presence - second step is to reduce attractions (food) - don’t feed wildlife (intentionally or unintentionally - bird feeders, trash out too prematurely to pick-up time, garden compost) - coyote’s primary diet is made of squirrel, dog, cat, vole, and rabbit - JeffCo recommends vaccinating your pets against rabies - EMHA residents should also be concerned about the mountain lions that live near all of us.
- Tim Sandon discussed the feasibility and objectives of a family fun center within former Albertson’s store - 30 bowling lanes, restaurant with food and drinks, billiards, darts, arcade games, and meeting rooms - looking for means to finance the lease / purchase of the building and build out- zoning change needed to allow single occupant over 20,000 sq ft - some competition from other possible occupant.
- No unfinished business
