The Commission reviewed the proposed budget. Bill Gabbert, Chairman of
the Main Street Program requested $40,000 from PCDC and Transient
Occupancy Tax. He noted the Downtown Merchants Association has changed
its name to Main Street Committee. Originally the Main Street program had
anticipated an annual income of $IU,000 from AB -103 funds and $10,000 from

exempt from paying the AB -103 fees.

Street Committee, in order to determine the amount of increased sales that
can be anticipated from an individual promotional effort.
