He suggested $75.00 per meeting. Commissioner Sobel suggested that salary become effective after an election so the current Commissioners are not eligible until they are reelected. That would set it up for the future in a way so that nobody could claim that were trying to benefit themselves. Staff was asked to bring that back at the next meeting for discussion. Resolution 92-08 adopting the PCDC Budget for Fiscal year 1992-93. Since the preliminary budget was presented to the Commission, an additional $700,000 in revenue has been identified. It would be divided as identified below: Rainier Overcrossing - In response to Commission question, the Executive Director advised that if a future Commission decided that Rainier Overcrossing was not to be built, the funds that have been accrued would be reallocated to the Old Redwood interchange widening. Currently the account contains somewhat over $2 Million. The Commission reduced the proposed fiscal year funding of Rainier by $10,000 down to $640M00. Project Priority - The top three city-wide traffic improvement projects, in priority order, are Lakeville Highway widening, cross-town connector/interchange (Rainier), and Old Redwood Highway. Petaluma River Payran Reach - A suggested appropriation of $35,000 more than shown in the preliminary budget has been added to the Petaluma River Payran Reach project so that account will have $1.2 Million. There are other sources of funding for this project; Zone 2A, County, State Department of Water Resources. Project Administration - Staff suggested increasing project administration by $12,000 to cover additional professional services for the additional specialist for intricate contracts. Some legislative advocacy expenditures will come in part from this line item. Also some of this line item will be used to increase capacity for the Computer Aided Drafting hardware. The Commission increased the budgeted amount to $22,000. Development Promotion Publication - This $11,000 item is in addition to the items presented to the Commission in the preliminary budget.

May 18, 1992 Page 2 of 3 businesses and businesses who are attempting to either convince their finance people or their corporate headquarters that this is the place where they should stay and expand. It would be a business retention publication as well as a business promotion brochure. Staff will also recommend utilizing Transient Occupancy Tax funding for this brochure as well as private funds from the business community. This would be a professionally developed marketing tool for the City. There was a suggestion of developing a fund to create incentives to attract companies to the City. It was also suggested that there should be something more that which is being done to attract new businesses to town, besides having the individual Commissioners personally contacting out of town firms. However, there are a couple of examples in this community where that idea of recruiting new businesses is not going over so well. Perhaps the Commission should do more education and discussion at the Council level about how the City can accomplish this goal and communicate with the community in such manner that they also understand that new businesses are good for the community and the City.
