board member's opinions on current police presence in the
downtown area. Discussion ensued. In the course of this
discussion Officer Lawlor related that due to demand for
service, timeliness of response, some "smaller problems"
would suffer. Also, some non-police services previously
offered by the E.P.D. would no longer be provided. Chairman
Close thanked Officer Lawlor for his time and interest.

location of Greg Birdsell, we no longer had a representative

5. Director's Report.
A. Director Celva reported to the Board that the
Certification of Valuation for 1993, had been received from
Arapahoe County, and that the net assessed valuation had
decreased by $5,824,000. This represents a revenue
reduction to EDDA, of approximately 18% for the 1994 budget.
Celva suggested that he would present a preliminary budget
to the board at October's meeting, but requested board
direction regarding the continuation of the facade program
in 1994. Board consensus was that this was a positive, well
received program that should be a primary focus of the 1994
work program.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
