B. Other Matters
. Alan White reported that he has been working with Wheat Ridge 2020
regarding several properties in the vicinity of 44th and Wadsworth that
may involve urban renewal in the future. Letters of interest have been
mailed to potential developers for this area.
. Alan White reported that he would be attending a meeting on October
18th with Wheat Ridge 2020 and the owner of the half-finished
property on 38th Avenue where the contractor abandoned the project.
This property would probably not involve urban renewal. However,
Wheat Ridge 2020 is initiating some loan programs for redevelopment
of properties along 38th Avenue. Wheat Ridge 2020 is also looking for
property along 38th Avenue for use as its permanent office.
. The Times Square management has not indicated any interest in
working with the Authority on site improvements.
. After consulting with Corey Hoffmann, Alan White reported that he
set up a sweep account with FirstBank in order to generate more
interest income for the Authority. This account would not include any
ofthe Walgreen's funds.

It was moved by James Bahrenberg and seconded by Teri Carver to adjourn
the meeting at 6:25 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
