****SPECIAL ALERT***** Please forward this information to anyone you think would be interested. Our City Council has taken some alarming actions that require our attention. 1. Firing Judge James Kimmel - Judge Kimmel has been serving Littleton for nearly 30 years, is renown for his genuine concern for youth and has received positive reviews in every survey the city has conducted regarding his performance. Because of the dramatic shift in public safety that Judge Kimmel’s removal may cause, the Police Union held an emergency meeting last week. It is anticipated that the Police Union will be well represented at the hearing, raising issues about the legality of the Council’s actions. Contact your council, copied above, and ask for an explanation for the Council’s action. Or better yet, attend the meeting this Tuesday. 2. Refusal to consider Sterling Ranch impacts – Calling the project “a stupid deal”, Mayor Clark gaveled the March 23rd City Council meeting closed without allowing a free, independent study of the development’s impacts on Littleton. Ignoring the impacts of this (or any other) major development to our city is a neglect of the Council’s fiduciary responsibility. Contact the City Council, copied above, and urge members to carefully consider the impacts of this development on our city. For more information about Sterling Ranch, and to go on a tour, contact info@sterlingranchcolorado.com. Thank you for your time, attention and concern for our city. Amy Conklin 6795 S.
