CHAIRMAN'S REPORT:
Work Program -Mr. Gasson presented the letter that he sent to Mayor Otis regarding
the work program for EDDA. There was no discussion.
Loan Program -Ms. Powers mentioned that the City has $150,000 for loans for
revitalization of Broadway. It is important to get this money loaned within 18
months with a repayment schedule. This will then enable the monies to be re-
cycled. She mentioned several areas for the Board members to consider.
1). Should the loan program be limited to the fronts of the buildings?
Q). Should a block by block area be prioritized for the time frame as to
the use of the loans.
There are other areas of consideration that the EDDA Board will review at the next
regular meeting. Ms. Powers will provide a list. She indicated that complying
with the Davis Bacon element of the regulations may make implementation of the
loan program difficult.
Design Guidelines -Ms. Powers indicated that the suggestions that were forwarded
by the EDDA Board to Don Ensign for the design guidelines were well received and
incorporated into the proposal to City Council. City Council has decided that
guidelines should be adopted by ordinance. The ordinance would require any
facade rehabilitation work on South Broadway between Eastman Ave. and U.S. 285
to conform to the approved guidelines.
