DPHD July 2020 Board Meeting
​Notes will be available soon

DPHD April 2020 Board Meeting

Bylaws​
​By vote of the Board, the bylaws were changed to require 5 people for a quorum (down from 10). The bylaws also state that the Board is required to have a Vice President. Ann Atkinson agreed to take the position of  Vice President to meet that requirement. 

Other Business
An issue about the lack of sidewalks in the section of Country Club just west of DPHD was discussed. The concern is that during the school year, children going to Bromwell Elementary are forced to share the street with cars. Their safety is of great concern. If you have children attending Bromwell and share this concern, please let us know via the suggestion box below.
DPHD January 2020 Board Meeting

Potential 2020 initiatives
  • Fun event - in the past we have had an annual picnic during the summer. A discussion of what, when and where followed. Ideas included having a food truck, inviting our Council representative, and activities.
  • Neighborhood communication - suggestions included: having a table at the Joy Chili Cook Off, consider a community bulletin board (modeled after one in the Mayfair neighborhood), actively promoting and supporting a DPHD mailing list (see link above)
  • Composting, waste & cleanup - we discussed ways to promote more active composting in our neighborhood. Ideas included encouraging multiple families to sign up and share a bin, joining the Great Denver Cleanup, inviting a representative from Denver Recycles to present to our community meeting, consider electronic waste and shredding events.

  • Crime very low, biggest issues are transit
  • Random violent crime very low
  • 11 (8 cars) vehicles stolen – historical low for the city
  • Subaru and F150 are o^en stolen - If you have one you can get a club for free form the policedepartment
  • If you have a RING doorbell, let the police know, and they can use to monitor – they will not haveaccess to your data

Tips:
  • Seasonal trends for stolen cars – puffers (don’t leave the cars running)
  • Don’t leave valet key in the glove box
  • Don’t leave registra3on with address in your car - they will break-in at the mall and know
    you are not home – use the one without the address
  • Garage door – get senores that alert you to close the and the garage
  • Take a selfie with your bicycle – Serial number send it back to the officer

President's Corner

I hope everyone in our neighborhood has been safe and healthy during the crazy events of the past three to four months. I know people are getting out because I see so many of you walking and biking as enjoy my "wandering workouts."

I'm pleased to report that despite the need to social distance, your Board remains active. Like many organizations and groups of friends, we have replaced our in person meetings with Zoom meetings. Currently we are working on "redesigning" our annual community meeting from that perspective. You will hear more about our plans over the next few months. Meanwhile if you have suggestions for topics you would like us to explore and ways to include the less digitally inclined in the new virtual environment, please leave your comments via the suggestion box below.
