MINUTES
The May 18, 1992, minutes were approved as submitted.
PUBLIC REST ROOMS DOWNTOWN - REPORT
Warren Salmons reported on his tireless efforts to secure public rest rooms in the
downtown area. It was reported at the last PCDC meeting, and again at this meeting,
that no business had shown willingness to make its rest rooms available to the public.
Mr. Salmons suggested the Commission consider the possibility of utilizing the new
offices of the Main Street organization (on the American Alley level of the old "Apple
Box" building). It was also suggested that the Commission determine the cost of
finding a person to staff the Main Street office on weekends in order to make the rest
rooms available Saturday and Sunday, as well. Perhaps the Chamber of Commerce
would be interested in having a mini -visitor center at that location.
Also discussed were the possibilities of placing portable toilets in Putnam Plaza and
utilizing the "soon to be renovated" unisex rest rooms at the Museum.
The Commission concurred that if the Main Street office is not
available for public use by July 10, staff is authorized to arrange for a
portable toilet to be located in Putnam Plaza,

PCDC COMPENSATION
Warren Salmons reported that other jurisdiction's compensation for redevelopment
agency commissioners ranges up to a maximum of $30 per meeting. One jurisdiction
pays commissioners only for meetings that are not on Council meeting dates. These
agencies also reimburse for direct expenses related to the commissioners'
redevelopment function. The Health and Safety Code limits compensation "not to
exceed $30 per member for each meeting of the agency attended by the member for a
maximum of 4 meetings per member per calendar month. The Commission deferred
any discussion of compensation to the evening meeting and will limit the debate to
Council compensation only.
