Chairman Garrett called the meeting of the Public Safety Commit-

POLICE DEPARTMENT:
1. Parade Permit. The Committee reviewed an application
for a Parade Permit submitted by the El Jebel Shrine
for a parade June 2, 1990 at 10:00 A.M. The proposed
route is from the Spruce Drive/Elkhorn Avenue Inter-
section to Manford Drive/State Highway 7. The parade
will consist of approximately 27 entries/200 people.
The Committee recommends approval of the application,
pending receipt of an adequate Certificate of Insur-
ance.
2. IACP Conference Update. Chief Racine briefed the
Committee on the recent International Association of
Chiefs of Police Conference held in Louisville,
Kentucky. The focus of the conference centered on the
drug epidemic across the country. Crime prevention,
particularly against the elderly, was also addressed.
Chief Racine suggested, and the Committee concurred,
that the Department seek involvement by members of
AARP. Acting as a catalyst, AARP could initiate a
neighborhood watch project; the Department would, of
course, always be available to assist those citizens in
need. Chief Racine also reported he purchased various
new products on the market to assist the Department in
their various duties.
3. Traffic Update. Chairman Garrett reported on a letter
dated September 29, 1989 submitted by Karla Harding,
District Traffic Engineer/Colorado Department of
Highways. Ms. Harding supplied information pertaining
to school crossings and child protection measures. The
Committee recommends staff research the information
received and report to the Committee in the near
future.
Chief Racine reported on a recent meeting held with
District Traffic Engineer Harding and Chairman Garrett.
The Committee reviewed a memorandum dated October 3,
1989 submitted by Chief Racine to Administrator
Klaphake. Each area inspected, along with potential
suggestions for improvement, were reviewed. As the
1990 Budget contains funding for a traffic study,
action on the aforementioned suggestions will be
postponed. Chairman Garrett stated a traffic study
workshop, involving the entire Board of Trustees,
should be scheduled to discuss and set priorities.
The Committee reviewed a letter dated October 21, 1989
submitted and signed by 30 citizens residing on Park
View Lane and Stanley Circle. Residents are requesting
the removal of the "no left turn" sign located at the
Intersection of Stanley Avenue and State Highway 7.
