The email below was sent to select City Residents earlier today. Thursday will be a busy day. As you can see the meeting begins in the middle of the work day and continues until 8 pm. As if that was not bad enough, Thursday is also the day the School Board has scheduled a Budget/State of the District Presentation. Perhaps the Budget Meeting has been pushed up since the 21st was the original date. Who knows?
The School Budget, that we must vote on was left at the library and we were required to pay for a copy of the 20 page document. Why was it not put on the district website as well? One should never vote yes on something that one has never seen.

As you probably have heard, the City of Englewood is updating its Master Plan for 2013 which will set objectives and the policies that will shape Englewood's future. After a series of general public meetings and meetings with specific constituencies, the professional project team (Brown & Keener and Regional Plan Association) has been hard at work developing the vision and finer points of the Master Plan.
On March 21, 2013, from 1PM to 8PM, the project team will host a Pop-Up Workshop to present the Englewood Vision and Master Plan to be held at 14 West Palisade Avenue (formerly Chico's clothing store) in downtown Englewood. At the storefront, visitors will be able to stop by any time during "shop hours" and take part in hands-on exercises to weigh-in on the Plan. Materials and presentations will showcase what a future Englewood could look like under the recommendations of the Master Plan.
The Plan places particular emphasis on creating an even more lively downtown; a reimagined industrial district in South Englewood; enhanced neighborhoods whose character is preserved; improved access to community amenities; and better transportation connections throughout the city and to the region beyond. In addition to hands-on exercises, residents will be able to provide feedback in comment booklets provided on site.
The Vision and Master Plan was developed over a 9-month process through which nearly 600 Englewood residents and stakeholders participated in two public workshops to shape the recommendations found in the plan. Following the pop-up workshop, the Project Team will incorporate feedback into the Plan and present it to the city in April.
Many of you have been active participants in this process and I thank you for it. We would urge you to join us at this Pop Up Workshop as your voice should be heard. Please click here to see a copy of the invitation for the Workshop.
If you should have any questions regarding the event or the Master Plan please feel free to contact me at City Hall at 201-871-6666 or by email at frankhuttle@englewoodmayor.com.
Sincerely,
Mayor Frank Huttle III
