RESO. 94-8
BUDGET
The Commission discussed the proposed budget. Jack Balshaw, Treasurer of the
Petaluma Downtown Association, gave a presentation for that group. Their
incorporation papers are being processed at this time. They need to accomplish
that before they can apply for a non-profit status. They have an contract employee
who is averaging less than 40 hours per month. There is an attorney doing pro-
bono work on their by-laws. They have been paying their bills up front and then
they have come down to the City for reimbursement out of their PCDC budgeted
funds. Their insurance costs will be double from what the proposed budget has
indicated. They hope to have the latitude to move monies around within their
budget. They are not trying to "gold plate" anything. They are working with the
Factory Outlet stores now to establish both the advertising and promotion for
downtown and the transportation from the Factory Outlet to downtown. It
appears there may be individuals who are complaining to Assistant City Manager
Salmons, and they are by-passing the Downtown Association. It was hoped there
would be better communication among all parties. The Chamber of Commerce,
the Visitors Bureau and the Downtown Association are all trying to get visitors
into town. The Downtown Association is trying to complement the efforts of the
other groups. The Downtown Association would like the Commission to move on
placement of a restroom downtown.
They have been utilizing block captains to deliver the Downtown Association
newsletters. However, the delivery has been mostly to the retail stores and not to
the service businesses.
Resolution 94-8 approving the 1994-95 PCDC budget.
