Porter Mayor ATTEST: '/J1tt;a;/1$ tJ.4Ut/ Martha A. Gillett City Secretary 10 APPROVED: ~r~ Clark T. Askins Assistant City Attorney 11 MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council THROUGH: Debra B. Feazelle, City Manager and/or John Joerns, Assistant City Manager FROM: Debra D. Dye, Main Street Coordinator DATE: August 17, 2006 REGARDING: 5 Board Appointments - Main Street Advisory Board The current board would like to recommend City Council consider reducing the number of seats from 11 to 9; it has been difficult to work around so many schedules and meet a quorum. This would mean 5 positions need to be filled. Attached are the applications for you to review on the following people: 1. Jerry Carpenter - is interested in serving on the board again; lives on Main Street (application on file in CSO). 2. Amanda Seymore - from the "Slightly Off Center Players" Theater 3. Edward Matuszak - URS Corporation, firm is undertaking turning the Astro Dome into a hotel 4. Leandro Suarez - Manages EI Ranchero Mexican Restaurant on Main Street 5. Stephanie Cox - Assistant Principal at Lomax Junior High, excellent contacts with LPISD 6. Troy Pulver - owner of downtown business, Main Surplus 7. William Manning, JR - water utility design engineer It is important for us to get a good cross section of people in the fields of finance, administration, economic development, business, design, marketing, public relations, festivals, and historic preservation, as well as representatives from the school district, plants, etc. The type of board members we are looking for are those who are visionaries, positive, and passionate about the tremendous potential that lies within downtown and who want to see downtown's historical buildings and character preserved and enhanced, and for the area to become a thriving part of our community and region. For our purposes it is not necessary that thry live in La Porte (this has been approved by Knox) as long as they have the vision, drive, and commitment we need to accomplish great things for downtown. The following people need to resign from the Main Street Advisory Board: Deborah Johnson has accepted a position in Pearland, APril Crone has been dealing with health issues, and Jon Lawler does not have time to commit to the board due to responsibilities with the Alliance. Bill Manning, Sr., Gerald Metcalf, and Paul Pieri's terms are over this year and due to circumstances are not able to serve another term.
