EURA
January 13 , 2010
Election of Officers/20 I 0 Budget
• The motion carried.

Director White referenced a copy of a memo he sent to Mr. Frank Gryglewicz, Finance and
Administrative Services Director at the City of Englewood, on August 14, 2009 regarding
the EURA 2009 Annual Financial Budget and a copy of a response from Mr. Steve Dazzio,
Accounting Manager at the City of Englewood, dated August 21, 2009 .
Director White discussed the City contract for the annual audit. It was for a period of three
years and there was a set fee for the Englewood Urban Renewal Authority audit. That figure
was set back when the Authority still had bonds.
The finance department has now been made aware of the fact the Authority has other
properties that should be showing up in the audit as assets.
VII. DIRECTOR'S CHOICE
The book value of the Acoma property was discussed. In 1994 it was "written down" to
$476,000 and that is the number that has been used since then. Director White noted that
number doesn't set the value it can be marketed for. It was agreed that unless there is
interest in the property a new appraisal will not be done. Chair Weeks asked if the property
is currently being marketed on englewoodsites.com. Director White said it is; there were
560 hits from April through December 2009 .
Chair Weeks thanked Director White for the information.
VIII. COMMISSIONER'S CHOICE
lt1J Chair Weeks asked for discussion on future meeting dates for 2010. It was decided to
meet on May 12, August 11 and October 13. If business warrants, other meetings will be
held. Ms. Rogers stated she may not be able to attend the May 12th meeting.
Mayor Woodward discussed the Mclellan property, the reinstated police impact team and
the new City Council. He noted Council will be holding a retreat on January 25th.
There was no further business to come before the Authority; the meeting was declared
adjourned at 7:12 p.m .
