Introduction
Stephen Elsperman, Parks Department introduced Dan Nelson who works for
Parks and Open Space. The idea is to get integrated with the businesses and
tourists. Dan will go around and introduce himself. He will be focusing on the
core area. We want to be aware and responsive to individual needs. Dan will be
the downtown central core coordinator and this is a new position. We want
feedback on how things are going on in the core. He will also focus on special
events in the downtown core and their effects. We will also be hiring 3 seasonal
staff to do a wider and broader patrol in the downtown area. We need to get
businesses involved and work together. We will also be looking at the alleys.
Bill said the CCLC talked about getting businesses involved with cleaning up the
town. Tom Yoder came in and talked about it and the fact that cigarette butts are
everywhere. Bill said maybe we can get a little campaign going on and have a
picture in the paper etc.
