Thank-you to Kevin Hofstra who put the sealer on the Ingrid Mason Memorial Bench.
The bridge walkway across from Dairy Queen was painted October 24, 1998. There was not enough paint, so Foothills will be getting more to finish the project.
The 6th grade Normandy Girl Scott Troop 2297 cleaned up weeds along paths in Wayside Meadows.

Charlotte noted that Alex, husband of Barb Mastro, both neighbors who have always been active in our HoA, had passed away. The HoA Board Members extend their condolences.
D. Scroll Report. It was noted that all political flyers placed in The Scroll were paid advertisements and not necessarily the opinion of the HoA board. From now on, all flyers of this nature will be required to state who they were financed by.
E. COHOPE Report by Jeanne Schrader, Chairperson. There was a review of the election results. The West Metro and Roxbrough issue was the main topic of the evening. The defeat of the Jefferson County School mill levy issue was also discussed. The future needs by the public for residents over 60 were brought up. Statistics were presented that the last 5 years showed a 29% net increase in this age group and the projection is for another 21% increase the next 5 years.

6. Old Business
A. Kaiser Permanente and King Soopers Committee, Joe Hart Chairperson. Joe was not present but it was noted that plans are moving along and a surveyor was working in the area last week.
B. Columbine South Commons Senior Care Development. Nothing new. It was suggested that the board be given a copy of the plans from the committee for review.
C. Upham Street Plans. The new ballot will be drawn up and will be delivered to the Chatfield Estates area in the next two weeks. Once results are in, the HoA board will decide whether or not to petition Jefferson County for the closure of Upham St. as an access into the neighborhood. If you have any questions, concerns or opinions on the closure of Upham St. into the Chatfield Estates area, please contact a board member or come to the December 10, 1998 HoA meeting. The issue will be voted on at that time!!!
D. Bus Stop Benches. Lisa Paige has written the bench companies stating the neighborhood would like the benches removed since there are no bus stops along Pierce. The HoA will also send letters to the owners affirming the request for removal.
