Approval of Minutes 2. S. Collins inquired if there were any comments regarding, or changes to, the Minutes dated March 10, 1993. A motion was made, seconded, and passed by voice vote, to accept the Minutes as written. Treasurer's Report The Treasurer's Reports for March, were presented by G. Birdsall. G. Birdsall reviewed current expenditures and revenues, but did not have last years March figures available for comparison. It was moved, seconded, and passed by voice vote to accept the reports as presented. 3. Director's Report A. Moving of the Englewood Station as proposed by the Chamber of Commerce was discussed. The Chamber of Conmerce has proposed a plan by which the Station would be converted into office space to be jointly shared by the Chamber and EDDA and located at Broadway and Englewood Parkway. To the best of H. Celva's knowledge, the EDDA had not been approached regarding moving its office to the station. The matter was brought b~fore the Board for discussion. Major issues raised by the Board were as .follows: A) Does the Board at this time want to commit to renting office space in this facility? B) Does the Board feel that at this time this is a project that EDDA wants to be involved with? 1 Minutes April 14, 1993 Page 2 C) Why does the Chamber want to rent office space when it is currently provided with free office space? D) Could Englewood better benefit from the $200,000 (roughly) that it would take to move and renovate the Station? E) Is this the best use of the proposed site. F) Would the move involve the removal of the Odd Fellow building? G) Littleton had moved their train station and it had become a white elephant. R. Hathaway stated that although she understood the questions raised by the Board she did feel that there was a very high level of sentiment in the community for the Station and that the initial $25,000 to 35,0000 need to relocate the building Program, could be easily raised within the community. R. Hathaway also stated that EDDA must look at the global picture. Although the use of the Station by the Chamber of Commerce would not be an addition to the retail market, it would be traffic to the area which could be beneficial. She also noted that there was a great lack of historical sites in Englewood. After further discussion by the Board, a motion was made by S. Collin that the EDDA Board decline participation in the moving of the Englewood Station, and also declined committing to the renting of office space, when and if such a move occurred . G. Birdsall seconded the motion, and the issue was brought to vote. The motion carried unanimously. B. The Summerfest which is schedule for June 16th thur the 20th, adjacent to and at Cinderella City was discussed, as Cinderella City had requested $5,000 from EDDA to help with advertizing a sidewalk sale and other family events that are scheduled to be held inside of Cinderella City. Possibilities for cross promoting Cinderella City and other Englewood businesses were discussed. It was decided that the Fishing Derby could be he 1 d on Saturday June 19th, and that area merchants would be po 11 ed regarding their participation in a sidewalk sale in conjunction with Cinderella City's. A motion was made R. Hathaway that EDDA will provide Cinderella City with the $5,000 for advertising, and to hold the Fishing Derby in combination with the Summerfest. The motion was seconded b·y S. Collins. The motion carried unanimously. While not part of the motion it was requested that any opportunity for cross promotion be used and that the event promoter be strongly encouraged to consider the downtown area in his plans. 2 " Minutes April 14, 1993 Page 3 H. Celva discussed the recent developments of the Facade Revitalization program, which included a presentation to both the City Council and The Englewood Chamber of Commerces' Governmental Affairs Committee. The City Counsel voiced their support and enthusiasm for the project. The Governmental Affairs Convnittee' s react ion was somewhat mixed. Jerry Greenwalt of Quickway Cleaners voiced his displeasure with the program and his intent to actively oppose tax money being spent in this fashion. As a result of Jerry Greenwalt trying to elicit opposition to the program, Ken Thompson owner of the L&H Center at Logan and Old Hampden contacted H. Celva asking that his property be considered for revitalization under the program. It was recommended by H. Celva that the Board approve Mr. Thompson request. The Board agreed that Mr. Thompson's building be reviewed for inclusion of the Facade Revitalization Program, Also discussed was acceptance by the Sanchezs' of the initial cost for their building. Rosemary LaPorta has requested help in revitalizing her facade. There has a 1 so been no response from the owners of the Odd Fe 11 ows building, but Roger Robohm appears to be interested and H. Celva will meet with him. H. Celva has reviewed the draft Facade Grant Agreement. He stated that it was very complex and cumbersome, and the City Attorney's office will revise. 4. Guest/Visitors Director Merkel stated concerns regarding the negative Board perceptions stated in the March 10, 1993 minutes. Noted were comments that the City Staff views toward the transit station were "archaic". While Directory Merkel still felt that the addition of a transit station would not be beneficial, he did state that the City was not tied to a specific conclusion this instance or in any other, regarding Cinderella City redevelopment. Director Merkel reported that the City Staff was continuing to put together information regarding Cinderella City, and that Equitable had retained a broker. Also that the City was laying the ground work for Public Process on Cinderella City. 3 Minutes April 14, 1993 Page 4 S. Collins questioned why the Executive MAS Summary had not yet been made available. And it was questioned by several . Board members why the information in the initial MAS report was still considered proprietary. L. Merkel responded that the Executive Summary was now available and he would have one hand delivered to the EDDA office. He also took the position that the original MAS report was very long (300 to 400 pages) and full of detailed information that could damage existing retail, effect the selling price for the property, and was a tool for negotiating as the grounds for the report remaining proprietary. L. Merkel did share that based on the MAS report Englewood was a potentially "phenomenal" retail market. Rity Hathaway solicited suggested modifications for banner usage, from the committee reviewing existing policy. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 1:40 pm.
