The meeting was called to order at 7:30 a.m. and the minutes of the February
meeting were approved without modification.
The John Tigard House and other historic structures were again discussed as to
moving them to a more advantageous location. Historic buildings located in the
downtown area could attract people to the area and could benefit merchants as
well as give identity to the area. A downtown location might also reduce
vandalism on the John Tigard House. It was decided that the EDC chairman would
write a letter to the mayor supporting such a move.
Committee members who went on the ambassador tour were pleased at how it went.
It was suggested that the EDC or the Ambassador group could conduct similar
tours for other City groups. A regular tour, perhaps every quarter, could be a
service of the Ambassador program. The committee also discussed the possibility
of developing a slide presentation in conjunction with the tour.
The committee discussed at length the status of the City Center Plan, and where
we are in the process of establishing an Urban Renewal District. Bill Monahan
explained Tax Increment Financing and how it fits in with the revitalization of
the downtown. The committee decided to send a letter to the City Council
supporting the use of Tax Increment Financing in the downtown.
