MEMORANDUM
FOR:
All Denver Regional Office Employees
FROM:
John K. Carson, Regional Director
Gary J. Mongelli, President, AFGE 3972
SUBJECT:
Office Space
We
are pleased to
announce that the General Services Administration (GSA) has selected the UMB
Plaza Building, 1670 Broadway, formerly known as the Amoco Building, to be the
new location of the Denver Regional Office. Although our exact space
requirements will be defined over the course of the next few months, we
anticipate occupying space generally from the 20th floor to the 25th
floor.
As
mentioned in the email message sent to all staff on November 20, 2002, our
current lease expires
in
December of this year. HUD Management and Local 3972 are committed to working
closely with our Administrative Resources Division,
who will
be our liaison with GSA and UMB Plaza Building Management, to plan
and execute the
move in the fastest possible manner with
the least amount of disruption.
We
will now move into the design phase of the project during which employees,
through the Union, will be able to offer comments, suggestions and recommendations. Once
preliminary floor plans are drawn, there will be ample opportunity to provide
additional input. In the near future, a special mailbox will be established to
which employees may e-mail questions about the move. The questions will be restated anonymously
for response on the Colorado HUDWeb site.
Those
of you who experienced our relocation ten years ago from the Executive Tower to
our current space are well aware of the logistics involved in making a move of
this magnitude smooth and orderly. As the current process moves forward, your
cooperation and support will be the keys to another successful
transition.
