Revitalization Commission <br />Minutes <br />March 9, 2022 <br />Page 3of5 <br />Business Matters of Commission: <br />Discussion/Direction — Downtown Colorado Inc Scope of Work for Retreat <br />and Urban Renewal Strategy <br />Director Pierce said the LRC has had a high level work plan that reflects short- <br />term priorities, but that it would be beneficial to take a longer term outlook. She <br />engaged with Downtown Colorado Inc. (DCI) to facilitate discussions to help the <br />LRC be more strategic. The agreement, if approved by the LRC, would be <br />between DCI and LRC. LRC would need to seek Council approval of the project <br />since this was not anticipated in the 2022 budget. <br />Director Pierce reviewed the scope of work, schedule, and project budget. She <br />introduced Bill Shrum from DCI, who is available to answer Commissioner <br />questions. <br />Councilmember Leh is enthusiastic about the prospect of working with DCI. He <br />is unavailable in May due to work commitments. <br />Commissioner Williams asked if other projects would be paused. Director <br />Pierce said regular business will continue but that this priority will require extra <br />meetings and staff time. She added that major new projects might not start <br />while this work is ongoing, unless the Commission received an application for <br />financial assistance. <br />Commissioner Smith inquired about the final deliverable and how project <br />success should be defined. Mr. Shrum commented that LRC discussion and <br />vision will shape the specific outcomes but that DCI's goal is to enable the LRC <br />to make decisions quickly, inform the public concisely, and be able to <br />communicate the priorities and vision. <br />Staff has enough feedback and will discuss scheduling with DCI and Council. <br />Chair Adler called for public comment. There was none. <br />Chair Adler made a motion to direct staff to advance the LRC Retreat and <br />Urban Renewal Strategy project for Council approval and to prepare the <br />Professional Services Agreement with Downtown Colorado Inc. Commissioner <br />Tofte seconded. Roll call vote: <br />Chair Adler - yes <br />Commissioner Tofte - yes <br />Commissioner Smith - yes <br />Councilmember Leh - yes <br />Agenda Packet P. 5 <br />
