Adams County has budgeted $230,000 for the facility and Thornton will provide the land. There will be some changes in City Hall after the new library opens. The nice peopble who work in the basement will be missed, they are always so pleasant. No longer will you be able to witness the groups of little ones making visits to the library, the summertime gathering for 'Story Hour' will be gone, the question of '~hen does the library open?" will not be asked of City Employees. The announcement that the Thornton library will have new quarters as of April 1, 1974, has caused the inevitable speculation among employees as to which department will utilize the old library space when it is vacant. It is interesting to hear the various ideas being voiced as to how the space could be adapted for different departinents. I believe you will find that many changes will occur in all departments in the next year as the City grows. The City Council and the Administration take all things in to consideration before making changes and in time we will all know their decision, until then------have fun trying to 2nd guess them. The 1st 'Employee of the Month' r.1ward in the history of the City was presented to Jim Smith in December of 1972 at the last regular City Council session of the year. This award was given in honor of the many hours of his own time that is spent in working with young people in need of guidance and for the development of a recreation program for young people. Jim is a credit to his profession and to the City, summed by saying: He is a great guy doing a terrific job 24 hrs. a day. In addition to an Award Plaque, Jim received a U. S. Savings Bond.

It was intended that the paper cover all areas of news concerning the City. We have not had stories on several important events in the City because we 'ASSUMED' they were of general knowledge to all employees or felt they were old news by the time the paper came out at the end of the month. Among the stories that we failed to cover were; The First Employee of the Month hward, The Purchase of the Highlander Building, The Master Utility Expansion Plan and the New Library. So, starting this month the paper will try to cover everything that happens in the City. If what we print is old news to some of you we are sorry, but feel it will be better to cover everything than to assume you already know about it. B.

January's winner was the Police Department's Ron Strachan, who was commended for his undercover work in narcotics. From the period of October, 1972, to January, 1973, Ron was involved in a number of felony arrests. i\oproximately $55,000 worth of narcotics and seven vehicles were seized in Adams County alone·. ;\ddit:i.onaJ.ly, it was pointed out that his biggest accomplishment has been the working relationship he has helped develop between the differer:.t agencies and the esteem he has brought the Police Department and the City of Thornton. Februc1ry's winner was the Water Department's Beverly Lane. Bev was honored because during the performance of her duties of Cashier she reflects to the customers a friendly, positive image of the City. She has shewn a special ability for handling unhappy customers. Aside from her normal duties, Bev enthusiastically volunteered to serve as reporter for the Utilities Office shortly after inception of the City Newsletter. Before the first issue had been published, she became editor, and each month graciously spends her own time editing and laying out the paper. Both of the above named individuals received not only the City Council's thanks, but an Award Plaque and a U. S. Savings Bond.

There are many forms of legislation undertaken by the Council and all of it is done after serious and deliberate study. Public Hearings are well conducted and a credit to Council. Our Councilmen spend time at study sessions to prepare for matters that will be on the agenda. Hany of our Councilmen are also members of committees and serve as Thornton's representatives to State Organizations. Lets meet our Council and our counselcrs. First, we have our Mayor Tom Carrillo, a man whose only campaign promise was to do his best. That he is doing so is quite apparent as we see the results of diligent efforts as he leads council in striving for the betterment of Thornton and her citizens. On the Mayor's left is our City Manager, Mr. Castrodale, whose expertise in the field of management and administration and the integrity with which he executes his duties makes him an invaluable source of counsel. On the Mayor's right is Mr. Orrel Daniel esteemed counselor for the city whose humor is a sharp as he is. A quick review of Council. Mr. Chavez Ward 4, serves as Thornton's Representative to Denver Regional Council of Governments. He is also a member of the Utilities Board and maintains an active interest in other Municipal Functions. Mr. Richter, Hard 4, is involved with the Rapid Transit Development. He has a habit of asking unexpected questions which the effect, I'm sure could be measured on the Richter Scale. Mr. Gawith, Ward 3, is always active in presenting to Council; matters which citizens have brought to his attention and in maintaining good public relation& Mr. Carpenter, Ward 3, has a talent for reading ordinances at super speed and his wit and humor add a lightness to the meetings. He has a remarkable command of the language, which sometimes leaves one groping for a dictionary but he knows what it's all about. Mr. Wood, Ward 2, is as staunch as his name implies, especially when it comes to taxe& Mr. Rose, Ward 2, is the newest member of council. He serves as Thornton's representative to the Hunicipal League and is closely associated with the recreational programs for the City of Thornton. Mr. Loomis, Ward 1, is a knowledgeable, and effective member of council. He is also active in the public relations between City and citizens. Mr. Paslay, Ward 1, is quiet and unassuming but a steadying influence. His comments are well thought out and well timed. Also in attendance with counsel on building and zoning matters is Wayne Monson. The City had in mind the '~ighest and Best Use" of a Planning Director when Wayne was hired. I think that Thanks are in order to our Councilmen and Staff for their efficient and responsive efforts in directing the City of Thornton. Next month a look at What's Happening at Council.

Some hard working (and modest) workers were recently neglected in an article about our Christmas Party at the Highlander Building. Officer Wilson, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Deforest put forth a great deal of effort and hard war~ in decorating the building and cleaning up afterwards. I can make no excuses for myself in not getting the facts at the time, but would like to extend my apologies and thanks, belated though they are, to these unsung heros!! D. Rankle BROILED TROUT u~e 8-10 ounce trout for each serving;if desired, remove head and fins. Rinse trout quickly under cold running water and dry throughly. Brush cavity of fish with tart French dressing and sprinkle generously with instant minced onion and salt. Brush trout generously with French dressing and arrange in a greased large shallow baking pan or on a broiler rack. Broil trout about 3 inches from source of heat 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes easily; brush with dressing during broiling.

It was suggested that a chain be attached to it and it's 'owner,' however, there's no money in the budget for 'ransoms' should they decide to take both. That unfamiliar voice on the radio at 3 a.m. recently can be traced to Bill Knobeloch, who was raised frcm;a warm and comfy bed, for a water main break.

Many new builders are getting started in the City and many projects which we have watched come out of the ground since last fall and winter are ready for occupancy. The City received bids on the Washington Street Improvement District on the 9th of March. We were pleased with the bid results. The low bidder was Concrete Contractors Inc. with a bid of $462,000.00 which was well below the engineer's estimate of $520,000. Construction of this facility will begin before the end of March. The roadway will be 72 feet from flow line to flow line which is the same width as the segment of Washington between 84th Avenue and 88th Avenue. The City Council has authorized the installation of high pressure sodium street lights for this segment. This is the same type of street lighting used on Washington Street between 84th Avenue and 88th Avenue and on 84th Avenue east of I-25. A recent traffic printout from the State Highway Department computer indicates that we should expect that Washington Street will carry approximately 20,000 vehicles per day at Eppinger Street and 35,000 vehicles per day at 84th Avenue by the year 2000. These projections anticipate the growth of the City of Thornton and the assistance of the personal rapid transit system proposed by the Regional Transportation District. The City is working with /;dams County in an attempt to open 88th Avenue from Huron Street to Pecos Street. The opening of this segment of roadway will help students in this area to get to the new North Star Elementary School at 88th Avenue and I-25 which will open shortly and will give assistance to the Police and Fire Departments on responding to emergency calls in the apartment complex along 88th Avenue. Temporary certificates of occupancy will be issued shortly on several projects. These include the Nod HavEin Apartments at 96th Avenue and Huron Streeet, the North Hill Apartments on Russell Street west of Washington Street and the 103 North Apartments on Ura Lane south of 104th Avenue. The duplexes on Lipan Street north of 88th Avenue will be occupied shortly as will the houses in McCoy Hills. McCoy Hills is a singlefamily development on 100th Avenue one-fourth mile east of Washington Street. They have also sold more than 50 homes in this development. Several single-family developments will be underway this summer. Crown Development will be building single-family homes at 128th Avenue and Washington Street in the upper $20,000 price range. Bill Wall will be building single-family houses in the area west of Colorado Boulevard and south of 130th Avenue in the $27-35,000 price range. Wood Bros. will continue to build in Woodglen area and is purchasing a large amount of land on the east side of Colorado Boulevard to continue this development. Medema Homes currently has models under construction at the southeast corner of 112th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. Medema will build a new series to be known as the "swinger11 series in the $24-29,000 price range and their conventional models in the $28-35,000 price range. American Builders currently has models open at 100th Avenue at approximately York Street in the upper $20,000 price range. The Building Department reports that this development is doing a particularly good job from the standpoint of physical construction. 100th Avenue between Washington Street and Colorado Boulevard will be paved early this summer as a requirement of McCoy and American Builders. A new Woolco Discount Department Store is currently under construction immediately east of the King Soopers Store at 104th Avenue and Washington Street. We expect that this store will be opened for business sometime in August. Several restaurants have recently opened in Thornton. These include the Shakey's Pizza Parlor just south of 104th Avenue on Grant Street, Straw Hat Pizza Parlor at approximately 103rd Avenue and Washington Street and the Holly North Restaurant on Quivas Street just south of 104th Avenue. The Planning Department is currently processing several applications for multifamily and single-family projects throughout the City. It appears that there are some exciting projects in the offing for the City in the next couple of years. Wayne E.
