Suggest you review City of Colorado Springs Ordinance No. 00-26, for an overview of the maintenace responsibilities of the SHSIMD. If you were not provided with a copy of CSCO No 00-26 at closing, you may request a copy from your closing agent or from your CS Councilman Charles Wingate (may be a fee). cwingate@ci.colospgs.co.us I would suggest you contact Councilman Wingate or the Mayor, with regard to trash removal in the Sand Creek area. Go to the City of CS web site for e-mail addresses of elected officals. Hope this helps. The next meeting of the SHNA is August 14, 2001. See you there?
