Approval of bills Approval of minutes (4/6/99) PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Judy Turner, 155 Fairfield Lane, Louisville, Colorado, stated that Public Service has placed a large transformer directly behind two of her neighbors' homes. It blocks their view and is quite close to their homes. Tom Phare, Public Works Director, stated that the project engineer, Craig Kitzman, is aware of the issues this installation has caused. He explained that Public Service had agreed to contact the City before any installation, and that did not happen. He stated that Kitzman is pursuing relocating the transformer eastward and down so that it is not so visible. Turner thanked Phare for the information. COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS ON PERTINENT ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Sisk asked to thank Heather Balser, Assistant to the City Administrator, for her work in obtaining a $650,000 Colorado GOCO Grant. He stated that it is a splendid investment in the community and she contributed significantly to that investment. He explained that GOCO rarely awards grants on the first submission, however, in this case they did and he commended Balser on her success. Sisk stated that he has received telephone calls regarding overcrowding at the Monarch K-8 Campus. He explained that there is a possibility that this will create the need for portable, outdoor classrooms. He suggested that Council compose a letter to the Boulder Valley School Board regarding concern that this overcrowding condition should be evaluated. Sisk extended thanks to Elle Cabbage and everyone involved in coordinating the July 4th event. He expressed concern that the City did not receive the fireworks that they paid for. He suggested that Council direct the City Attorney to compose a letter requesting a refund from the fireworks supplier. Davidson agreed with Sisk.
