Johan Cohen - 1208 S. Brentwood Street - Lakewood, Colorado
Mr. Cohen stated that in reading Looking at Lakewood, he read the list of the
City's 2003 accomplishments. The article stated that the Visitors Center at
Belmar Park was funded through donations. However, part of it was funded through
the lottery and it should be stated so. He stated that the City should seek
broader public support regarding the buildings at Belmar Park and how the Visitors
Center is to be used in the future. He stated the Visitors Center was a "white
elephant."
Walt Heidenfelder - 940 S. Yarrow Street - Lakewood, Colorado
Mr. Heidenfelder stated that he has spoken to many of the neighbors just south
of Belmar Park and many residents are opposed to any more buildings being put
in the park. He asked that the City let the residents know early in the planning
stages of any further projects in the park. He asked specifically about a gas
station that he heard was located in Aurora and being moved to Belmar Park.
Michael O'Beirne P.O. Box 260313 - Lakewood, Colorado
Mr. O'Beirne stated that he wanted to raise an issue regarding the ethics of
City Council members who are doing business with developers and those developers
having contributed to their campaign funds. He stated that Belmar is an exclusive
business preserve designed for profit and he asked City Council to minimize
