CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
•
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves
Chairman Close gave a brief review of the 1991 EDDA events; such
as, subsidized advertising, Sounds of Summer Concert series,
TUileries Park Festival, the Happy Holidays in Englewood
celebration, Farmers Market, coupon books, and seminars.
Discussion ensued on each individual item. Chairman Close then
stated after reviewing these different topics, he would like H.
Celva, as well as the Board of Directors, to make their
recommendations. Chairman Close stated he would like a meeting
held at a later time to further discuss the EDDA'S schedule of
events for 1992.
BOARD MEMBER'S CHOICE
L. Shepherd stated that he had noticed a charge on our monthly
accounting reports of $4,950 for auditing from the City. L.
Shepherd then stated our charge last year was only $750 and asked
why the difference. G. Birdsall stated he would investigate this
charge.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
H. Celva stated due to lack of time between the Executive committee
meeting and the regular board meeting there was no Director's
Report in this month's board packet, but stated there would be a
report in next month's Board packets.
Identity Re-enhancement Logos
H. Celva stated after reviewing the Denver Post subsidized
advertising that appeared on Thanksgiving day, he felt the ads had
nothing denoting "downtown Englewood." H. Cel va suggested the idea
of developing a logo for downtown Englewood and having the logo
placed on all print advertising prepared by the EDDA and available
to the merchants themselves, for signs, posters, banners, or
whatever is generated by this area. H. Celva requested
authorization to investigate this idea further.
sign Project Modification
H. Celva stated after reviewing the sign project, his suggestion
would be to modify the design so that banners can be placed on the
signs to announce any event happening in the area and to consider
incorporating a more visable "downtown Englewood" identity in the
sign graphics. Discussion ensued with those possibilities.
