determining and fixing of the mill levy for the Fort Collins Downtown
Development Authority for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1987. The

inception of the DDA. Earl Wilkinson moved for approval of Resolution 86-
19, with Barbara Schofield seconding the motion. Discussion followed. A

The next item on the agenda was the campaign for Robinson Piersal Plaza.
Dave Edwards, a co-chairman of People for Progress was introduced. He
informed the Board members of the activities and goals of People for
Progress, which was formed expressly to run the campaign for RP Plaza and
win the election. The Campaign Coordinator is Jana Bingham. The other
chair of the group is Stella Morris Payne and the steering committee
consists of the following individuals:
John Power Jim Aldrich
David Roy Frank Johnson, Sr.
Steve Barbier Beverly Lee
Claude Fly Jana Bingham
Mr. Edwards stressed that the group is all volunteer with support from
both political parties, and all areas. They want to tell the story of RP
Plaza, that the project fulfills some social responsibility, is a major
gateway to the downtown, and will go from a vacant lot to a mixed -use
development.
This group is also receiving campaign contributions. Given the progress
being made by the citizen's group, Chip Steiner introduced Resolution 86-20
reducing the amount of funds and/or in kind contributions from the DDA
toward the campaign. Earl Wilkinson moved for approval of this
resolution, seconded by Barbara Schofield. A roll call vote was taken and
the resolution passed unanimously.
There being no other business, the meeting was adjourned.
