IV. Chairman's Report
Chairman Close once again welcomed Mr. Merkel and Mr. Fullerton
to the meeting and requested Mr. Fullerton to describe what
his role would be, as "Project Manager" for Cinderella City.
Mr. Fullerton gave a breief synopsis of his background and
previous experience in both real estate law and commercial
development. He stated that he had worked in both the public
and private sectors giving examples of both. He went on to
review some of the current processes and conditions regarding
Cinderella City. Mr. Fullerton explained his role and concluded
by stating that a primary goal was defining the City's position
in eventual development and insuring that any project would
be of benefit to the community. Discussion continued on this
topic with a number of questions addressed to Mr. Fuller.
Chairman Close related to the Board members a discusion held
by the Executive Committee regarding the frustration and ire
still felt by several Board members who had testified before
City Council, on the ''Adult Material Ordinance". Since this
testimony resulted from a position voted by the Board, and
since many Board members still felt extreme dissatisfaction
with the entire process, that a diolouge neede to be pursued
with City Council. It was decided that a major object of this
diolouge would be to try and improve communication so that
any adversarial feelings between the business and residential
cornmunitties could be disspelled. A draft copy of a letter
to members of City Council was distributed to Board members
for their examination and comment. The draft, with some minor
changes was approved by all present.
v. Director's Report
Director Celva briefly reported on the progress and problems
of the Facade Program. He stated that a request had been received
from Playnix, for funding under the program. This request was
somewhat problematical since it did not fit the existing criteria.
It was decided to refer the request to the Design Review Committee
for their recommendation.
There being no furthrt business the meeting was adjourned at
1:30 p.m.
