Questions on Resolution 97-7, Approving the Budget of the Estimated Amounts
required to pay the Expenses of Conducting the Business of the DDA for the fiscal
Year ending December 31, 1994 came up regarding no allocation in the 1995
Budget for an executive director. Gerry Horak stated that monies could be moved
around to accommodate an eventual decision. Also the rent income ' was
discussed, as there will be a reduction of office space from DBA moving into
DDA's sector thereby eliminating the extra square footage of their office and the
conference room. With no further discussion it was moved by Steve Slazak to
approve Resolution 94-7 of the FORT COLONS DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT

DDAIDBA
RELATIONSHIP The topic of discussion here is the separation of the two (2) organizations which
has already been started by the Executive Committee and is also is reflected in the
1995 Budget by DDA The course of action is slated by a three (3) year reduction
in activity until a final severing of the ties. This action may come about sooner with
the uncertain future of the DDA, but it was agreed upon that by the December
Board meeting a proposal would be put before the Board regarding the eminent
future of DBA
OLD TOWN SQUARE
BRONZE SCULPTURES Progressive Old Town Square has begun placing bronze sculptures in Old Town
Plaza. These sculptures are presently on loan, but POTS would like to acquire a
specific sculpture featuring three geese. Each goose would cost $16,000 and
POTS is asking DOA to pay for one of these geese. After many minutes of
discussion it was decided that a rendering should be presented to the Board, to
picture this sculpture on the large rock by the fountain. The consensus by the
Board was that a'fund raiser, which we would actively support should be our - -
plan of action. Our directive or plan of action for the DDA is to promote the
downtown buildings and etc. This brought about the motion by Ed Baldwin to
reject the contribution, seconded by Bonnie Sixler-Szidon. Motion carried. -
