June 30, 2008: Denver Union Station Project Authority Approved by City Council
The Denver City Council approved at their June 30 meeting
the creation of the Denver Union Station Project Authority. The
authority will be responsible for the financing, acquiring, owning,
equipping, designing, constructing, renovating, operating and
maintaining the Denver Union Station Project.
At the same meeting, Council also approved the Denver Union Station
Master Plan Supplement, which becomes a part of the Comprehensive Plan
for the City and County of Denver.
Both of these actions represent critical steps in the process of moving
the Union Station project forward.
The Authority will be comprised of 11 voting members and 2 non-voting members. Six of the voting members have been appointed by Mayor John Hickenlooper and confirmed by City Council. These individuals include Jerry Glick, Robin Kniech, Mike West, Don Hunt, Elbra Wedgeworth, and Mario Carrera. Two voting members will be appointed by RTD, one voting member will be appointed by DRCOG, and one voting member will be appointed by the DUS Metropolitan District. The two non-voting members will be city employees/officers, one of which will be appointed by the Mayor and one by the city's Manager of Finance.
