MINUTES May 10, 1898 Page Two EDDA Parking Lot • RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Chairman Tomooka asked that everyone turn their attention to the letter dated April 15, 1981,·from former Nayor Eugene · Otis to Barb a ra Holthaus, Chairman of EDDA at that time. Chairman Tomooka noted that he spoke with Joe Plizga in hopes that an agreement could be made as to who is ultimately responsible for maintaining the parking lot (corner of South Lincoln and EasL H.impden). It was felt that the letter was somewhat vague, but, Mr. Wanush noted that he felt that were this letter to have been directed to him he would have interpreted it as clearly stating that the City of Englewood is responsible for repairs. . Ms. Dietrich, as well as former Mayor Otis had been contacted regarding this agreement. There was considerable discussion regarding the remaining loan to Mr. Litvak Sachter. It was decided that Chairman Tomooka was to contact Mr. Sachter regarding the payoff amount. The EDDA in turn would deed the parking lot over to the City of Englewood. It was the generul feeling of the Board that agreeing to pay maintenance/repair costs could set a precedence in the future. DIRECTOR'S REPORT South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce-Economic Group Ms. Hayes noted she was waiting for the opportunity to meet with Brian Vogt before deciding whether or not to renew EDDA' s membership in the Economic Development Group. Having had this opportunity, Ms. Hayes felt that the money would be wel 1 spent. The group is very active in the area and Englewood could benefit from the association. Ms. Hathaway commented that she felt this was a good decision. Ms. Hayes felt if the EDDA was going to participate in this organization that in all fairness the amount donated to them as well as the Englewood Chamber of Commerce should be equal. Ms. Hayes noted that she wil 1 make sure that an additional $75.00 is given to the Englewood Chamber towards our membership.
