which both entities could share responsibilities. He stated that keeping
an open communication between the two boards was vital; that in many areas
the two Boards have similar purposes (the marketing of downtown Englewood;
implementing procedures to make some areas more attractive); that a definite
priority exists to make a firm commitment in the South Broadway area. A
letter written by Ed Cordova, member of the dba/Englewood Board, was read.
Director Haviland extended his welcome to the visiting Board members and
expressed his commitment to work with them on projects germane to both
Boards. He stated that he fully intended to be involved in possible tree
planting projects, sign codes and the development of a possible commercial
rehabilitation loan fund and he feels that a substantial commitment needs
to be made to the area along South Broadway.
Chairman Holthaus instructed Director Haviland to assist in tree planting
efforts of the Broadway area.
Mrs. Van Vorst identified some of the projects which the dba/Englewood
sponsers: the Farmers Market; Block Party; Old Time Christmas; Charity
Bazaar.
