Flashing Yellow by Deputy Lara Dreiling

We’ve all been there, you’re driving down the road, running a little late when you see the flashing yellow light telling you there’s a school zone. There are no kids around anyway, so why are the lights flashing? Do you really have to slow down? School zones are supposed to help keep kids safe as they come and go from school. Yet every year, students are injured or killed while walking or riding their bikes to school. Most people think that only means before and after school, but that’s not always the case. Many of our local high schools have an open campus which means students can come and go throughout the day, including their lunch hours and off periods. So who is responsible for keeping students safe? Is it reasonable to expect a kindergartner to follow all the rules of the road or know how long it will take a car to stop to allow them to cross a cross-walk? Or to expect the middle school student to make sure the car won’t roll through a stop sign while they are crossing a crosswalk? The answer is IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Children are not born with an innate understanding of traffic laws. It takes time to learn these rules. Even many adults don’t understand all the rules. As drivers, we need to be extra vigilant in and around school zones throughout the day. Here are some basic things drivers can do to avoid an accident and maybe even save a life. • Slow Down – The chances of a pedestrian being killed if struck

by a vehicle increase as the speed of the vehicle increases. This is particularly true with children, who are smaller than adults.

• Stop – Come to a full stop at stop signs. This includes stop signs

on the side of the road, those held by crossing guards, and those on the side of buses.

• Put down the phone – or whatever you are doing that takes your

eyes off the road. Don't eat breakfast, put on your makeup, read or do anything that distracts you.

Remember kids do unexpected things all the time. Remain vigilant while driving near schools. The couple extra seconds it will take you to get through the school zone may save the life of a child., but not

Recruiting Temporary Workers for the 2020 Census

The recruiting of hundreds of thousands of temporary workers for the 2020 Census – often described as the nation’s largest civilian mobilization — is now underway.

The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting 2.7 million people across the country to assist with the 2020 Census count. The week of October 21, 2019, the Census Bureau will host 2,020 recruiting informational events around the country. This is your opportunity to learn more about the jobs so you can earn some extra income while helping your community.

Hundreds of Thousands of Workers Needed

In the spring of 2020, the Census Bureau will launch the largest 2020 Census field operation, known as Nonresponse Follow-up, Census Takers will knock on doors to follow up with households who have not responded to the census questionnaire.

Applicants can qualify for both field and office positions. The office positions, which are more limited, will be located in area census offices. The role of these offices is to recruit, select, hire, train, manage, and pay all office and field staff who work within the designated boundaries of the geographic territory assigned to the office.

The Census Bureau is in the process of opening 248 offices to support the 2020 Census. As these offices become ready for business, they are listed at 2020census.gov/jobs/pay-and-locations.

Easy to Apply

Applying for one of these jobs is simple. Just visit 2020census/jobs or call 855-JOB-2020 and select option 3 for more information. Pay rates for field and clerical jobs can be found at 2020census.gov/jobs/pay-and-locations.

Those who are being considered for a position will receive a telephone interview. If offered a job, they will receive instructions on next steps via email.

Applicants will need to complete paperwork online and make an appointment to get finger-printed for the background check. Once they are offered the job, there will be a period of time before their start date to allow time for the background clearance process. To search for possible management positions, go to USAjobs.gov.

Most applications will remain active throughout the 2020 Census and may be considered as positions become available.

Town of Foxfield

2020 Budget

It is budget time again! The Board will hold a a study session to discuss

the 2020 proposed budget on November 7th, 2019 and a budget public

hearing is scheduled for December 7th, 2019.

The Town of Foxfield has three funds: The General Fund, the Open

Space Fund and the Conservation Trust Fund.

The General Fund is the major operating fund of the Town and is used to account for all

financial activities that are not required to be accounted for in another fund.

The Open Space Fund was created to account for sales tax revenues generated from the

Arapahoe County Open Space ballot measure (Resolution No. 030381). The Town receives a

shareback of the tax revenues collected. These funds may be used to acquire real property

and easements, and to improve, restore and protect open space. The funds may also be used

for environmental education programs.

The Colorado Revised Statues require the establishment of the Conservation Trust Fund if a

local government desires to receive state allocations of funds for the acquisition, development

and maintenance of park and open space properties. The Colorado Lottery is the primary

revenue source of this fund.

A rough draft of the 2020 budget document can be found on the Town of Foxfield’s website at

www.townoffoxfield.com. Any questions or comments regarding the budget can be emailed to

the Town Administrator, Karen Proctor at [email protected].

Barking Dogs

Please do not allow your dogs to bark for hours at a time.

Foxfield Municipal Code, Sec. 7-2-50. Noisy dogs. (a) Any owner, keeper or possessor of a dog commits a class 2 petty offense if

such dog individually makes, or in combination with another dog or dogs together, makes any noises which are audible from an adjacent or nearby property for a continuous twenty-minute period, such noises being separated by pauses, how-ever slight, during said continuous twenty-minute period.

Not only is it hard on the dog, it’s very intrusive and annoying to your neighbors and can result in a summons to court and a fine of up to $1,000.

HOMEBUYER’S BIGGEST REGRETS

According to a survey performed by Porch.com, homeowners stated the following regrets:

#1 - buying a home that was too small. You can always remodel or upgrade a house to make it “yours” but it’s

difficult and costly to fix a house that’s too small

#2 - not saving enough money before buying for maintenance and repairs. Only 52% of homeowners had planned

for home maintenance in the first year-despite the fact that most of them were buying a used home.

Where did these homeowners spend the most money the first year? 16% said new appliances, 13% invested in a

new roof, 11% replaced a furnace or AC unit, 10% did additional landscaping and 9% replaced flooring.

New roofs, furnaces, AC units - did they not have an inspection done prior to purchasing the home??

The Board agreed this was not a feasible undertaking. Mayor Jones noted that the 4th of July celebration was awesome and Trustee Thompson did a great job organizing the event. Members of the Town Board Trustee Freas reported on the vandalism to the Town of Foxfield lettering on the retaining wall at the west end of Foxffield Village Center. Town Clerk Gallivan reported she received pictures of the vandalism in progress and has forwarded them to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department. Trustee Freas noted damage to the pavement at the intersection of E. Easter Avenue and S. Buckley Road. It is believed that damage occurred when IREA shut off the gas due to the lightning-caused fire along Hinsdale. Town Clerk Gallivan will check with Erica Olsen at SEH about repairs. Trustee Freas asked about the northern boundary of Foxfield and was assured the south side of Arapahoe Road is within Foxfield and the Town is now receiving some revenue from traffic citations issued along that stretch. Trustee Thompson received a complaint about the June 14 charity concert, asking that the Town institute a permit for this type of large event. She reported that she received only the one complaint while three other neighbors noted they had no issues with the event. Mayor Jones reported there was one other noise complaint due to the concert.

Trustee Thompson reported the dog waste stations are being used so often they need to be emptied more often than every other week. Trustee Thompson noted there are still many faded stop signs. When Town Clerk Gallivan gets a count of the signs for replacement, she will order that to be done. Trustee Farreau asked if the increased minimum fines have decreased the numbers of tickets issued. Town Clerk Gallivan reported she has not noticed a decrease in the number of citations. Staff Town Clerk Gallivan asked about dates for the Community Garage Sale, Large Item Pickup and Fall Clean-Up. All three will happen on successive week-ends in September; Town Clerk Gallivan will set the dates with Republic Services. Town Clerk Gallivan reported that Chris Pratt is no longer with SAFEbuilt so the Town will have a new code enforcement officer assigned. Adjournment Mayor Jones adjourned the meeting at 7:24 p.m.

Allyson Zoellner, 16915 E. Costilla Avenue, is opposed to ATVs on Town streets but would allow golf carts. She also noted that while she is sympathetic to those who have lost pets, residents need to learn to live in harmony with wildlife. She is opposed to the Town taking any action against the coyotes. Consent Agenda Mayor Jones moved, seconded by Trustee Freas, to approve the following items on the Consent Agenda:

a. Approval of Minutes – July 18, 2019 b. Financial Reports – July 2019

The motion passed by unanimous voice vote. Items Removed from Consent Agenda None Coyotes In light of several recent coyote attacks on pets, Town Administrator Proctor presented a recap of the information that was distributed to residents in February regarding co-existence with coyotes. Town Clerk Gallivan will request that residents keep their fields mowed so as not to provide an attractive habitat for the critters. Town Administrator Proctor will work on gathering more information on mitigation options to share with residents. Off-Highway Vehicles With the comment that allowing ATVs on town streets could prove to attract such vehicles from nearby communities, thereby increasing the volume of traffic and noise in Foxfield, the Board determined to take no action on this topic at this time. Pay Increase for Town Clerk Town Administrator Proctor noted that Town Clerk Gallivan had not received an increase in salary in January, as is customary. Mayor Jones moved to approve a 5% increase for the Town Clerk from $26.65 an hour to $28.00 an hour retroactive to January 1, 2019. Following a second by Trustee Farreau, the motion passed by unanimous voice vote. Reports Members of the Town Board Trustee Freas requested clarification of the definition of legacy buildings relating to a previous Board discussion.

Trustee Farreau noted that the Chili Fest will be held on Saturday, September 28 at the Kooi residence. Trustee Farreau reported on an influx of homeless camping in the area and asked the Board to consider an ordinance banning camping within Town limits.
