CHAI.Rf!AN ' S REP ORT
Development Agreement Discussion -According to Mr. Hinson, the performance
schedule in the Development Agreement is being carried out on a timely basis.
Currently, development of the King Soopers on the City parking lot is being
considered.
Chamber of Commerce -Mr. Coleman noted his concern of whether or not the
Centennial Chamber of Commerce would set up a task force to operate within
Englewood, primarily for developing Engelwood. At this point, he does not
feel that there is this commitment. ~e further stated that a separate Chamher
of Commerce for 'Rnglewood could coordiante any activity within Engle.wood, could
encourage merchants within the are to help themselves, and would have an
identity. Additionally, he believeo that this Englewood Chamber of Commerce
would have a close working relationship with Cinderella City. It was agreed
that any new Chamber of r.ommerce would have to have financial, facility, and
staff support. After rliscussion, it was noted that the Centennial Chamber
of Commerce and thep:iposed Chamher of Commerce for Englewood would have to meet
and work out a compromise. Also, this discussion of whether or not EDDA woulrl
be willing to support the new Cham~er will be continued at the January
meeting.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
UP..A Meeting -J. r,. Maxwell questioned whether or not the Urban Renewal
Authority is in violation of th.e law by recessing into Executive Sessions
as many times as they do during a meeting. He indicated that the public
needs to be better informed as to the activities of the URA.
Broadway Facade nrogram -Penny Dietrich reviewed the progress to date on the
Broadway Facade Program. There have been two new applicants for the design
assistance, there is one additional loan applicant, and four designs have been
approved by the Design Review Committee. A concern of this committee was that
the rear facades of the buildings were not being revitalized.
Snow/Clean Up Proposal -Several areas of conern were brought up regarding this
proposal. These were insurance, notice of cancellation, vagrant problems,
grocery carts, enforcement of ordinances, cooperation with the police and City,
trash collection, phone booths, RTD areas, and snow removal. It is important
that each merchant police his own area and that the City enforce the
existing ordinances.
Mr. Maxwell moved, seconded hy ~r. Close, to ask the City to enforce the present
ordinances regarding trash removal and snow removal. It was determined to
appoint a sub committee of the EDDA and the City to identify the problems, and
to coordiante this type of a program. The motion was passed unanimously by
voice vote.
There being no further bustness, Mr , Gasson adjourned the meeting at 1:3 2 PM."
