President Mike Henry noted that Jim Barfe^iahad volunteered to form a
committee with President Henry to publicize the Sign Code violators.    Jim
James moved that Mike Henry and Jim Banji^take a tour of Capitol Hill  to
make a list of those persons violating the Sign Code, and send a letter to
such violators asking that they discontinue violating the Code in the
interest of aesthetics, power shortages and as an example to law-abiding
citizens.    The motion was seconded.;    Discussion followed.    Jim James
stated that the City Attorney's attitude was that the court decision had
essentially nullified the Sign Code and that only those signs constructed
after the Code were subject to the provisions of the Code.    It was pointed
out, however, that pursuant to the findings of President Henry and Mr.
Barjfe^t, pressure might be brought on the City Attorney to appeal  the
decision of the court or, in the alternative, pressure might be brought
on the City Council  to revise the Code so that it might be broader in
application.    The question was called and the motion was passed.
President Henry read a letter from John Kelly, Chairman of the RTD,
thanking CHUN for its help in the RTD election and promising not to abuse
the trust placed &tf the citizens in RTD through that election.

himself, Peggy Hart and Patty Jackson as the committee to replace Ethel
Lunok, who had resigned from the board, Don Bain was asked and agreed
