the Proposed Community Improvement Plan for the Business and
Waterfront Improvement Project, and Authorizing Its Transmittal to
Affected Taxing Entities." Adopted.
Helen Sause, 816 Grand Street, Member, Economic Development
Commission, stated the Commission has been considering the draft of
the Report; the intent is to be comprehensive in providing a list
of activities to be undertaken in this project, however it is not
yet prioritized; and suggested Council take the report in the
context of its comprehensiveness and that much more work will need
to be done in evaluating priority.
Commissioner Camicia moved adoption of the resolution.

Commissioner Thomas stated she believes this is a wonderful report
but it is incumbent upon "Council" to consider the other projects,
e.g., Carnegie Building improvements, new main library, purchase of
Mastick Senior Center, facing the City, which will draw
concurrently on the financial resources; and all those issues must
be prioritized as they affect the City's ability to finance; and
requested a caveat that this be conditionally approved, with the
understanding that all of the projects must be prioritized and some
projects have very high priority.
In response to Commissioner Arnerich's question regarding a budget
adjustment which may be required in February, 1991, as noted in the
report, the Community Development Director stated the budget
requirements are to fund the work of the Commission, not to
implement the project, and the assumption is that no greater loan
from the City will be required but the increase in tax increments
the Commission is receiving will address the need, and there will
be no cost to the City's General Fund.
Commissioner Withrow noted the report is for approval of the
Preliminary Report only and moved approval. Commissioner Camicia
seconded the motion which was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Commission, the
meeting was adjourned by Chairman Corica at 7:47 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
DIANE B. FELSCH
Secretary
The agenda for this meeting was posted 72 hours in advance.
