The motion passed 3-0. 2. Update on Carnation Square Proiect Alan White reported that City Council approved a vacation of the easement on the property which will allow garages to built. Larry Nelson reported that he has received 18 applications to purchase a unit at Carnation Square which have resulted in 5 applications presently under consideration. He believed this was a good response in light of the fact that no marketing, other than an article in the Wheat Ridge Connection, has taken place. He also reviewed the preliminary development budget as well as information on affordability and loan qualification. Hemy Wehrdt reviewed owner/contractor agreements and proposed summaries for various rehabilitation projects and informed the Authority that all bids should be in by the end of this week. Bids received so far have been under estimates. Wheat Ridge contractors were given preference in the bidding process in order to support the city's economy. Once bids are finalized and a notice to proceed has been issued, construction can begin. Condo maps should be complete 120 days after the notice to proceed is issued. It was suggested that publicity be given to the fact that the Housing Authority is working with local Wheat Ridge contractors as well as providing affordable housing to Wheat Ridge residents. H. OTHER Dick Matthews presented the financial report for the Housing Authority. Authority members felt the financial reports will be very helpful in tracking the budget process. I.
