The Special Meeting of the Board of Directors of EDDA was called to order on
March 28, 1983 by Chairman Gasson at 12:15 PM.
Chairman Gasson opened the meeting with a discussion of some of the problems of
trying to facilitate early moves of existing retail tenants directly affected
by the redevelopment project, prior to a firm redevelopment commitment on the
part of the City and a developer.
Board member Close gave a brief presentation to the Board expressing the EBA's
interest to work closely with the EDDA on future projects, etc.
The EDDA Executive Director gave a summary of the current EDDA work program,
item by item. The STaff has completed most of the work program elements and is
making excellent progress toward completing the remaining elements.
The Board then reviewed, item by item, the work suggestions for EDDA as forwarded
by City Council.
1. It was felt that EDDA should continue to have a general overview of the
redevelopment proejct as offered through the management team.
2. EDDA has gone as far as possible with regard to post development manage-
ment until there are some basic policy decisions made with regard to
post development responsibility.
3. EDDA should be involved in "comprehensive business services", but it
should not be involved in "Relocation Assistance", i.e. development of
moving costs, and identification of professional resources for use by
persons affected by relocation.
Specifically, the Board asked for legal clarification on the EDDA role's with
regard to involvement in relocation issues. Also, the Board expressed an
interest to be involved in a commercial loan program, but specifically, not
to have responsibility for administering the loan program.
Mr. Coleman m0ved, seconded by Ms. Owens, to charge the Executive Director
with an inquiry to determine the specifics of the City's revolving loan program
utilizing state funding, and to express EDDA's interest in acting as a resource
center and possible source for finance packaging under the City's program. The
motion passed unanimously by voice vote.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
It was felt that the with the exception of relocation issues, the remaining
business service suggestions offered by City Council were within the spirit
of the EDDA Charter to create a positive climate for reinvestment in the
City of Englewood, and should be incorporated into the EDDA work program.
Chairman Gasson presented a proposal from Design Workshop to offer assistance
to EDDA in formulating a work program and direction. Mr. Neal moved, seconded
by Mr. Pendleton, to reject the offer without comment. The motion was passed
unanimously by voice vote.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:40 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
