MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
ENGLEWOOD DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
February 14, 1979
12:00 P.M.
e
Authority members met at Noon, February 14, 1979, at the Englewood
Chamber of Commerce Building. All members were present except
Vern Mann and John Maxwell.
Present by invitation were Richard Wanush, Director of Community
Development, and Robert Joyce of the law firm of Mulligan & Reeves,
Denver.
Mrs. Holthaus reported that her committee met and discussed with
two men the possibility of filling the role of Interim Director
of the Authority; they were Grady Maples and Larry Nowacki. Other
interviews are scheduled and a job description has been developed
with the assistance of the City Personnel Director. It is
anticipated that the job will be advertised at least on a regional
basis.
Mr. Robohm, a member of Mr. Allen's Real Estate Committee, reported
on a discussion with Mr. Sachter on the possibility of acquiring his
land on South Lincoln Street. There followed discussion of the
possible acquisition of the Colorado Public Service property on
Lincoln Street and/or its building on South Broadway.
Mr. Joyce outlined to Authority members some of his experiences in
seven years with the City of Denver in urban planning and activities.
He outlined some methods of procedure with the federal government
and possible avenues for obtaining federal funds, although in general,
he was cautionary about that approach. He counseled the Authority
members about being too hasty in naming a Director, who, he said,
should not be called a Director, and also about haste in immediately
getting into some project without getting an overall program
developed.
Mr. Joyce suggested contacting Robert Cameron of the Denver Urban
Authority, and the Chairman volunteered to do so.
There was some discussion about setting aside a meeting of longer
duration to distill more specifically the short-range, near-term
and ·long-range plans, summarized for Authority members by
Mr. Kaufman's committee in the January meeting.
