RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
TRI PARTY AGREEMENT -The Board received copies of the proposed Tri Party
Agreement, as written by the EDDA attorney. It is requested that the Board
study this thoroughly as it will be a discussion item at the next Board Meeting.
LITTLE DRY CREEK -The Executive Director gave an update of conunittee work to
date. The engineers will present a program to City Council on September 20, 1982.
MANAGEMENT TEAM -The Management Team has reviewed the downtown zoning district
in draft form. They also reviewed the design guidelines request for proposal
with EDAW and Design Workshop. EDAW was not interested in proposing for both
Broadway and new development guidelines so it withdrew itself, leaving Design
Workshop as the firm to undertake design guidelines for the project. The con-
sulting needs for post development management were discussed. IT was suggested
that the priority for EDDA funding should be aimed at post development
management rather than design guidelines.
CDBG FUNDS -After researching CDBG Commercial loan program alternatives with
the City Staff, it was concluded by the EDDA Director that rather than hiring
new EDDA staff, it would be much more cost effective to handle the proposed
commercial loan program through the expansion of the existing City CDBG housing
loan program staff.
SLIDE SHOW PRESENTATIONS -The EDDA staff reported on the number of showings of
the Englewood slidesi.ow. There has been a favorable response to this
presentation, with more showings scheduled.
There being no further business, Chairman Gasson adjourned the regular meeting
at 1:15 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
