CITIZENS' RIGHT TO SPEAK Mary Cavarra presented a gift of $1 Ok to the Wheat Ridge Foundation, on behalf of her daughter Leslie Cavarra Buttorff for the Wheat Ridge High School Field Project. Leslie was on the very first Girl's Basketball and Volleyball Teams and she always believed that the good academic foundation that she gained at Wheat Ridge, along with the spirit of competition, gave her the background to go forward in college and the business world and form her own consulting company. She is happy to give something back to the community and the High School and she knows there are other alums out there who have had a successful experience and she hopes they step up and put this project over the top. Roger Loecher, commended Wheat Ridge snow removal crews. He is concerned about the proposed 162 foot width of Wadsworth Blvd. Mr. Lasher believes this is excessive and suggested we start on a much smaller scale. Item 1. CONSENT AGENDA A.
