At the October 20, 2010 public membership meeting the new Federal Boulevard Partnership Board was elected.

December Board Meeting Notes

Monday, December 6th, 2010

Attendance: Marshall Vanderburg, Jerry Guida, JoAnne Billen, Cindy Snalam, Carole Vowell, Kathy Sandoval, Linda MacIntyre, Sandy Mazzarakis, Jacob Werther, Andy Gorchov and Bill Johnston

October board meeting notes adopted unanimously.

Treasurers report; $1,300.48 in the bank with 56 members. It was noted the bank amount did not include expenditures associated with the 2011 planning session, which cost $117.

Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the outcomes of the November 17, 2011 planning session. Several questions were addressed regarding the priorities. Bill distributed several handouts regarding the 2.9 million dollar HUD grant for the west corridor TOD (transit oriented development) strategic implementation plan and a paper written by Brad Segal of the Progressive Urban Management Associates about a toolbox of development tools for commercial districts. With a quick reading regarding the awarded HUD grant, it was thought there could be the possibility of combining several of the 2011 priorities involving the Federal light rail station and west corridor line but it was determined there wasn’t enough information to know the implications of doing this so it was deferred to a future date. It was agreed to work through each priority to confirm participation and for board members to volunteer as chair for each priority, hereafter referred to as projects. The following nine projects and assignments were confirmed: (more…)

October Board Meeting Notes

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Attendance: Marshall Vanderburg, Jerry Guida, JoAnne Billen, Cindy Snalam, Carole Vowell, Kathy Sandoval, Bill Johnston

September board meeting notes adopted unanimously.

Treasurers report; $1,680.34 in the bank with 55 members.

Over $400 was spent on recent October 20 public meeting announcements mailed to property owners and Partnership members. It was generally agreed the turnout for the public meeting didn’t justify the expenditure. More thought and different direction should occur in marketing the next public meeting.

Marshall provided an update of the Boulevard WellSpring Initiative grant application, which was formally submitted to the Colorado Health Foundation October 15th. A final copy of the application was provided to Board members. Discussion occurred regarding the scope and intent of the program.

Marshall also provided an update of the Streetscape project; all meeting notes and updates are posted at the Partnership Web site. Currently, the committee is in data collection stage researching and organizing base maps and information about the pilot area the committee chose for the project; Federal both sides between 23rd to 26th and W. 25th from Federal to Eliot. The public participation and design portion of the project is anticipated to begin in early 2011.

Cindy reported that she was still working with Carole developing correspondence to Denver regarding the results of the recently completed conditions survey.

Three possible dates were discussed for the 2011 board work priority planning session consisting of Nov 16, 18 or Dec 9. Marshall agreed to send out a Doodle request soliciting board member availability. A possible agenda was discussed and Marshall indicated the hope that Sarah McCarthy could help facilitate the session as a neutral party. He would work with Sarah to finalize the agenda. Everyone agreed we would strive to complete the planning session in three hours and that it would be wise to provide food – Marshall to arrange.

End of meeting, 7:30 PM
