    "Three amendments to the city charter, including one
creating "specially designated spaces" within the community,
won endorsement Tuesday from Aspen voters. The John Denver
Sanctuary and the Ute Cemetery will both be protected as
specially designated spaces, with voter approval of Referendum
2A by a 745-to-254 vote.
     The ballot question added a section on specially
designated spaces to the charter and offered its protections
to the two city properties. Any change in the passive uses
that the two sites enjoy will require a unanimous vote of the
City Council now that they have been given the designation."

Editor's Note: This is good for the John Denver Sanctuary
since in other years there were questions about whether to
use the park for other purposes. (See the articles in the
February 2000 RMH Newsletter... "John Denver Park Going to 
The Dogs?" and "Denver Doggie Park Idea Given the Boot.")
