BACKGROUND Mr. Dave Ciancio, who served on the Englewood Downtown Development Authority for a term which was to expire on June 30, 1990, recently was transferred to a location not within the city limits of Englewood. Subsequently, he resigned from the au- thority, leaving a vacancy on the Board. According to the Bylaws of the EDDA, the "Authority may make nominations of Board members to City Council." By a unanimous vote, the Board of Directors of the Englewood Downtown Development Authority recommended that City Council appoint Joe Wharry Coast to Coast Hardware or Gary Oxman Wagner's Dinettes to the EDDA Board to fill the unexpired term left vacant by Dave Ciancio, and set to expire June 30, 1990. At their regular meeting of May 2, 1988, City Council appointed Mr. Joe Wharry to fill this vacancy. Subsequently, Mr. Wharry's franchise at Coast to Coast Hardware reverted back to the parent company, creating a situation wherein Mr. Wharry is un- able to serve on the Authority. RECOMMENDATION Due to the circumstances noted above, it is recommended that City Council appoint Gary Oxman to the EDDA Board to fill the unexpired term left vacant by Dave Ciancio, and set to expire June 30, 1990. ·
