In Memoriam Hugh Tighe, a neighbor in our community for twenty years, passed away on March 3, 2014. He was born in Chicago on June 24, 1925. He was raised as an only child in Chicago. After high school, Hugh joined the United States Air Force. While stationed at Buckley Field, he decided to make Denver his home. Hugh was educated at The University of Denver. Hugh Tighe Skyline Dodge was a successful car dealer ship for nearly three decades. After he closed Skyline Dodge, he continued as an auto broker for more than twenty years. In 1969 he married Sandra Hawkersmith, a microbiologist. They had two sons, Hugh Jr. and Steven. Hugh Jr. and his wife Amber have twin four-year-old sons, Hugh and John. Hugh was always involved in civic activities. The Denver Athletic Club was a passion, serving at times as president. Hugh will be laid to rest in Abilene, Texas, the hometown of his wife, where many of her family are interred.

neighborhood concerns: split rail fence along Arapahoe road is in disrepair, (city will put in new fence after regrading and construction), likely losing big trees at the entrances, the lot where the old tennis court was, the fence between the pool house and the tennis courts, and the condition of some street lights. Ken Brunk will take the actions needed to get the city to update our street lights. Lina Fletcher will help with flowers at the entrances and at the pool. The CMD is also coordinating with ACWWA as needed. Steve Cooper, Gerald Weaver, Jim Neumann, and Wayne Lauer each addressed their candi-dacies in the upcoming Chapparal Metro Board election. The ballots will be mailed on April 21, 2014. Members of the community then addressed some concerns: Mike Cross is interested in seeing HOA financial reports and covenant enforcements be done in a neighborly way. Jim Noon addressed the ACC and HOA covenant enforcement. He wondered if we could separate these responsibilities and perhaps outsource HOA covenant enforcement. CENCON provides training to keep us updated on the City of Centennial. Doyle Tinkey has been attending their meetings and agreed to report on infor-mation as it regards our community. Dan Ewigleben reported there is a state statute on collections procedures. We will review policies from time to time for minor word changes to make sure we are in compliance. The meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m. Next meeting is May 12, 2014.
