Chapparal Metropolitan District ACWWA IGA Merger Update
We think the “Due Diligence” process has been completedand the attorneys are putting the final touches on the documenta-tion including the easement description and the agreed upon ease-ment transfers. The Court has approved the election and the ballotlanguage is being finalized. The Court has set the election date forNovember 6, 2007. The PRO/CON statements were due to theElection Official on September 21 and we are awaiting the publi-cation of the Ballot Blue Book.• • •Current Water System Status
There was a motor failure on the A-1 well due to an electricalshort. The motor is in the process of being replaced. The otherthree wells are functioning properly and supplying the waterneeded for the system at this time. Water consumption is downthis time of year due to the good job of conservation by most ofthe consumers, helped out by some timely rainy periods. Theamount of water in the tanks is being maintained at the desiredlevel with plenty of reserve for fire emergency.• • •Pool/Tennis Courts
The pool is closed for the season and has been or is in theprocess of being winterized. We are assessing equipment renew-al and replacement requirements needed for next year and suc-ceeding years. We are also looking at what remodeling may needto be considered for the pool house since it is now more than 20years old. The tennis courts are scheduled for a fall cleaning thismonth. The windscreens will remain in place until later inOctober to take advantage of our normally pleasant fall weather.

CENTENNIAL (Sept. 6, 2007) – Recent town meetings showcitizens of Centennial are not happy with the $14.1 million publicworks services they are receiving from the City through an intergov-ernmental agreement with Arapahoe County. The City of Centennialis taking affirmative action to improve the services it now receivesfrom Arapahoe County. The City’s plan is outlined in a letter hand-delivered today to the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners.
“We have the highest obligation to make wise use of taxpay-ers’ funds and must always strive to insure that the services pro-vided to our citizens meet their expectations in terms of bothquality and price,” said Mayor Randy Pye. “We feel we are doingthe right thing by examining all opportunities to improve uponthese public works services.”
In contrast to law enforcement services, which citizens arevery pleased with, conclusions drawn from public meetings andpreliminary surveys, conducted as part the City’s ongoing vision-ing process, establish that Centennial citizens feel current publicworks services fall below or well-below their expectations.
“The number and types of complaints and delays in servicesfor public works have been heard loud and clear by the City,” saidJacque Wedding-Scott, Centennial City Manager.
“In order to deliver more efficient and cost-effective publicworks services to its citizens, the City is exploring all alternativesfor these services, including those provided by Arapahoe Countyif they can be more responsive to the community with a higherlevel of service,” Wedding-Scott added.
Another alternative being explored is contracting with theprivate sector for various public works services. Centennial hasbeen a model for private sector contracts for many services since
incorporation.The City is also currently in the process of hiring its own pub-
lic works director who will guide efforts to improve public worksservices in Centennial.
View a copy of the City’s letter to the Board of CountyCommissioners at www.centennialcolorado.com.

City of Centennial ExtendsAgreement with Sheriff Robinson
The City of Centennial announced today that it has reached anagreement with Sheriff Grayson Robinson for the Sheriff s Office tocontinue to provide Centennial s public safety for the next ten years.
“Our residents tell us time and again how satisfied they are withthe Sheriff’s commitment to Centennial,” said Mayor Randy Pye.As a city that relies on contracts for public services, Centennial isreceiving a very high level of service and productivity from theSheriff’s Office, as can be seen in our outstanding safety record.
Centennial ranked the highest of any Colorado city in the 13thAnnual Safest City Awards (2006) and was 52nd of all cities over100,000 in the U.S. The awards are provided annually by MorganQuitno Press of Lawrence, Kansas.
When Centennial incorporated in 2001, it was then the largestincorporation in the nation s history with over 100,000 residents.The City Council decided then to contract for most of the city sservices to keep the size of city government small. Public Safetythrough the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is one of thebiggest contracts with $17.9 million budgeted for 2007.

Health Chatter for ChildrenEnjoying a safe Halloween
Halloween is a fun-filled time for parents and kids. Taking thetime to plan for a safe Halloween beforehand can help keep boththe kids and their activities safe. Here are some tips to help keepyour Halloween safe and enjoyable:Deciding on a costume
• Add glow-in-the-dark tape to the front andback of your children’s costumes so they canbe easily seen.
• Don’t buy a costume unless it’s labeled“flame-retardant.” This means thematerial won’t burn.
• Make sure wigs and beards don’t cover yourchild’s eyes, nose or mouth.
• Don’t let your child wear a mask. Masks canmake it difficult for kids to see and breathe. Instead, usenontoxic face paint or makeup.
• Put a nametag—with your phone number—on yourchild’s costume.
• Avoid long or baggy skirts, pants, or shirtsleeves thatcould catch on something and cause falls.
• Make sure that any props your child carries, such as wandsor swords, are flexible.Trouble-free trick or treating
Limit trick or treating to your neighborhood andthe homes of people you and your child know.
When everyone gets home, check all thetreats to make sure they’re safely sealed andthere are no signs of tampering, such as small
pinholes or packages with loose or torn edges thatappear to have been taped or glued back together.
Throw out loose candy and any homemade treats that haven’tbeen made by someone you know.
Make sure trick-or-treaters will be safe when visiting yourhome, too. Remove lawn decorations, sprinklers, toys, bicycles,or anything that might obstruct your walkway. Keep family petsaway from trick-or-treaters, even if they seem harmless to you.
Avoid giving out or letting your child have hard candy, espe-cially jawbreakers and suckers—they dissolve slowly, coat teethwith sugar, can chip teeth, and cause choking.GRAPHIC DESIGN
