Lisa Jones, Candidate for Mayor Address: 7203 South Uravan Court Resident since 1997 Trustee since 2008 Member of the Design Review Committee- Foxfield Village Center As a trustee I have worked on the following projects: ● Prepared a grant application to receive funding for the review and update of the Town’s zoning regulations. The Town was awarded the grant and I worked with the Town Planner to review,

modify and improve the existing zoning regulations. ● Explored different animal control options that would provide necessary services required

by the Town at a cost in balance with the historic services that the Town requires. ● Code Enforcement. ● Researched and prepared a Noxious Weed Compliance Program that would bring the

Town in compliance with the State statute mandating control of Noxious Weeds. ● Worked with the Town Administrator on the codification project.

Goals: Maintain our rural atmosphere while promoting balanced growth. Explore economic development ideas which are compatible with the Town’s vision. Pursue open space grant opportunities to enhance our current open space and potential trail systems. Continue to improve communications and encourage resident involvement. Continue to monitor and improve traffic issues within Town.

Our family moved to Foxfield in 1997 to raise our 4 children. We fell in love with the rural atmosphere and beautiful mountain views but mostly we fell in love with the uniqueness of our residents. Being in the real estate business, I have had the opportunity to explore and learn about most of the metro area communities. I can honestly say that Foxfield is a hidden treasure. With our dark skies and wildlife, I am always amazed that the Arapahoe and Parker Road corridors are right outside our boundaries.

The past Boards have worked very hard to bring improvements such as the water system, paved roads and the Foxfield Village Center. It is important that we maintain our rural quality while keeping an eye on economic opportunities that would enhance our financial stability which ultimately translates to a stronger Town with more options for improvements that benefit the residents.

I would be honored to serve as the Town’s next mayor.

Robert F. (Bob) Easton Candidate for Mayor I, Robert F. (Bob) Easton, candidate for Mayor of Foxfield, have been a Trustee in the town since 2004. I chaired the "Fourth of July" parade and picnic for several years, beginning in 2002. I, like many of you, was attracted to the rural atmosphere of this town. I intend to do all I can to keep Foxfield as an oasis of rural America. I know that may sound "political", but I am serious. And I am largely apolitical. There are mandates (state and federal) that require us to have certain types of regulation. Beyond that, some of the current regulations have come about because of viewpoints of well-meaning people. I would like to see a majority concurrence before any regulation is passed but that is not a requirement. As Mayor, if elected, I will seek to have a synopsis of any discussions by the Board of Trustees published as soon thereafter as possible, so that residents may opt to attend the meetings. I have been a resident of Foxfield since January of 2001, residing at 17021 East Fremont Avenue. I feel that I have come to know the mix of the opinions of our community on many matters. Those who have lived here the longest are more inclined to favor the simplicity, which is fast escaping. Newcomers seem to look more to the possibilities of upscale living that are afforded by "acreage" property. Balancing these two, as well as serving all in between, is a daunting task. I'm up for it. I seek your support, whether or not I am elected as Mayor. If not elected as Mayor, I will remain on the Board of Trustees.

Ben D. Owens III, Keeping Foxfield in the Country, Candidate for Mayor

Ben Owens III resides at 7033 S. Yampa Ct. and is running for Mayor this election year. Ben has been a resident of Foxfield for 9 years and loves living here. He and his wife, Vicki, and their four children, Andi (15), Brison (12), Jillian, (9) and Georgia (4), bought their home in Foxfield just days before the huge snowstorm of 2003 and didn’t see the house again for three weeks. That was a really long time to wait to move into the house they loved and a town in which they really wanted to live. Ever since then they have loved living in Foxfield and would do anything for it. Ben, after working for the City of Aurora for 30 years, recently retired therefore he knows a lot about how to run a city government and knows even better how not to run one. While working for the City of Aurora, Ben learned how important it is to head off a problem instead of fixing one after the fact. He would love to see the residents of Foxfield being allowed to have more rural pets again, including horses, sheep, llamas, alpaca, dogs, cats, goats, chickens, pigs and even a cow or two if they so choose. Ben would also like to see a stoppage to the fence ordinances; he feels that much too much time has been spent on these ridiculous rules, time that could be way better spent on other things more important to the town. Ben would like to see the Bridle Path finished, more town events planned throughout the year, and out of town cars kept out of town. Ben feels that the amount of traffic through town has become ridiculous, the occasional police officer stationed at the same two places once or twice a month does nothing to deter speeding, running of stop signs or crime in general. He would like to have a better plan for controlling traffic in town. Finally Ben would like to see better signage marking our wonderful town and better looking entrances into Foxfield. He would like to see flowers planted at the town intersections to both Arapahoe Road and Parker Road and more trees planted along common areas throughout town.

While never having served as a government official, Ben has been President of the Sons of the American Legion on the local and state levels. He served on the local level for over 10 years and his post was never “in the red” or in any kind of organizational trouble. He loves serving groups of people and he loves speaking up for those who don’t feel they have a voice and he will serve all the residents of Foxfield. Ben wants to return Foxfield to its original ways. Country living right in the middle of the big city! The reason Ben decided to run for Mayor now is simple. He wants the wonderful town he loves and lives in to remain whole-some and honest, with happy residents who are left to live their own lives their way and neighbors who look out for each other and where everyone is safe.

Septic System…. Care & Maintenance

If you are reading this, you are probably the proud owner of your own decentralized sewer system, AKA an onsite wastewater system. Your entire system contains many parts & pieces including rock & pipe; however, the two main components of an onsite wastewater system are the septic tank & the drainfield (leach field). Maintenance on your septic system is as important as rotating the tires and changing the oil in your car. The septic tank is a lot like the oil filter on your car’s engine: it needs to be cleaned (changed) periodically to prevent a blockage at the tank inlet and a potential backup into the house, as well as to protect your leach field from clogging, causing costly replacement. Tank cleaning removes the build-up of solids known as scum and sludge so the entire system can continue to work properly. The Health Department recommends that homeowners clean both chambers of the first tank at least every 3-4 years. An active, large household or heavily-used system may need cleaning more frequently. An engineered system has 2 tanks; the second tank should be cleaned every 8-10 years. If you have an engineered system, you most likely have a pump in one of the tanks and a high water alarm system. It is important to periodically test the pump and high water alarm system to make sure all components are operating properly. Additionally, it is possible your system is equipped with an effluent filter at the outlet side of your tank. These filters can plug sooner than your routine pumping date and should be checked every 6 months. The addition of excess grease or oil from food preparation processes is not helpful to your septic system. When you wash or rinse cooking oils or grease in hot water at the sink, it starts to congeal on its way down the sewer line to the septic tank and can form a hard, caked clog at the inlet tee or baffle in the tank. This can restrict the flow into the tank and result in a blockage and backup into the house. Furthermore, household cooking grease & oils can make their way through the septic tank and into the leach field eventually plugging the small perforated holes in the pipe, eventually causing a system to fail. A septic system is designed to handle a limited amount of water in a 24-hour period. A system will perform properly and last longer if water conservation is practiced, as well as the hydraulic load being spread out evenly throughout the week. This means spreading large water usages, such as laundry loads, dishwashing and bathing, throughout the week. Additionally, repair leaking toilets and faucets immediately. Most septic systems are designed for a flow of 450-600 gallons per day. A badly malfunctioning toilet valve can send thousands of gallons of water into the leach field in one day causing the leach field to saturate and eventually fail. Maintaining a regular tank cleaning and system inspection schedule is the most important factor in keeping your leach field in good condition. Tank cleaning averages $250-$350 every 3-4 years. System replacement due to a complete failure can range from $6,000-$12,000. Remind your family members and visitors you are not on a city sewer system. Caution needs to be used in what is put down your household drain lines including food products, chemicals, feminine products and wipes. Proper care practices will help insure a long lasting, trouble-free onsite wastewater system. By Scott Kellogg – Owner of Douglas County Septic

COMMUNIQUE “THE OFFIC IAL TOWN NEWSLETTER”

Electronic Speed Sign

The Board of Directors hired Mark Ortiz, a Town resident, to monitor the electronic speed sign on Town roads.

Mark will deploy the sign each week, turn it on every morning and off every evening, and take it home each week-

end to recharge the battery.

It is hoped this reminder of the speed a driver is traveling will help keep traffic at the speed limit in Town. The speed limit of 25 mph was set for safety reasons and safety is the Board’s top priority when it comes

to traffic in Foxfield.

Tree Maintenance The Town Administrator presented a proposal from Singing Hills Landscaping to apply anti-transpirant to the new evergreens along South Lewiston Way and the new ponderosa pines in the Gleave ease-ment. The anti-transpirant would be applied to ap-proximately 20 trees twice during the winter. Trus-tee Frank moved to approve $265.00 for two appli-cations of anti-transpirant, seconded by Trustee Current. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote. Reports Members of Town Board Trustee Current reported that the morning traffic patrols are working and the Board agreed to ex-tend them at least through the end of the school year. Lt. Rowlison volunteered to make those ar-rangements. Based on a report from Town Code Enforcement Office Ellis, Trustee Frank initiated a discussion of a homeowner who had dirt brought in and spread on the property. There was resulting damage to the road and drainage culvert. It was agreed that Ms. Ellis will work with the homeowner to get the damage repaired. There was a dispute regarding how much dirt was delivered to the property and whether or not a permit should have been issued; however, it was agreed that since the homeowner had been told a permit was not necessary, Ms. Ellis will work with them to mitigate erosion and weeds. It was agreed the homeowner will need to apply for a permit for grading. Town Administrator Kuechenmeister will contact WRC Engineering and discuss how to calculate cubic yards of fill and land area covered by fill so this discrepancy does not occur in the future. She will also ask them to review the circumstances sur-rounding this property and ask them to work with Ms. Ellis to resolve the outstanding issues. Trustee Frank noted that the plans from CDI show-ing deciduous trees along the Ring Road conflict with the requirements of the agreement with CDOT so they have been redrawn to reflect evergreens. Trustee Zoellner noted that the open space is be-ing choked with high weeds and trash. It was agreed that this issue will be discussed at a meet-ing on Monday between Town Administrator

A King-dom Hall in Aurora was burned down and the church is requesting the addition of an additional congregation to the Foxfield location on a tempo-rary basis while they rebuild.
