<br />MEMO
<br />
<br />
<br />TO: Mayor and City Council
<br />
<br />THROUGH: Debra B. Feazelle, City Manager
<br />
<br />FROM: Debra D. Dye, Downtown Revitalization Coordinator
<br />
<br />DATE: May 18, 2005
<br />
<br />REGARDING: 3 New Board Members - Main Street Advisory Board
<br />
<br />Below are the names of people we have been visiting with and are interested in serving on the board. Attached
<br />are the applications we have received.
<br />
<br />We need a good cross section of people in the fields of fmance, administration, economic development,
<br />business, design, marketing, public relations, festivals, and historic preservation, as well as representatives from
<br />the school district, plants, etc. The type of board members we are looking for are those who are visionaries,
<br />positive, and passionate about the tremendous potential that lies within downtown. Those who want to see
<br />downtown's historical buildings and character preserved and enhanced, and for the area to become a thriving
<br />part of our community and region are also good candidates. For our purposes it is not necessary that they live in LA
<br />Porte (this has been approved by Knox) as long as they have the vision, drive, and commitment we need to
<br />accomplish great things for downtown.
