Dear I Iclcn:
lhank you vet), much tbr taking the time to meet with me regarding the ,Farmcr, s' Mmkcl
IXpansion. I wanted to till you in on the results of our meeting.
My main concern was the fact thai CCLC members are being quoted in thc local papers.
spccil]cally The .4.v)ert Times. Wednesday, February 12, 2003. as saying that thc> are
thc local shop owners. As you' know. the question I posed to .You wa~ this; I lou can thc CCI t
members art,', that they re sensiuve to lhe' local shop owners, especially those itl tile downto,,x n
core. i~'l haven't been contacted?
. "tl'e are ver3,,scna'itive to the Iocal.~hop owtters }elto arepa)'ing t'et~t. "-Jo, Busch
"There 5 not attyone at CCLC who wants to do altything to hiert a local bttshtc,$s. "-Andrew
Kole
Per >ot~r advice. 1 placed calls to Andrew Kole, Charles Kcmledy and ,Ion Busch. Joa did
rctl. trll nly call.
Charles Kennedy did return my call, and inlbrmcd me that the CCLC i~ .just five voluntcers.'and
unable to contact each and every business.
Andrew Kolc also renu'ned rny call. It'. short, hc informed n'tc flint it was not the CC1 (._"s
responsibility to cohtact local businesses tot their fccliags aborn thc expansion. I'hat
· responsibility, acco~'ding to Andrew. had been passed on to thc ACRA.
M;Icr learning thi~ Ii'om Andrew. as you kllo'.,v. I contacted ~.ou. and you ~,uggested I call }lama
t~cvny, which l dld. She informed me that she had hfformed lhe C(TC [hfl! she was axvaiting
direction from them as to ~pccifics on thc ~ort of poll she should be taking~ and that until
heard back f'rom thc CCLC. thc ACRA was not going to move forward in any :','ay, thus the
reason I had not yet been contacted.
Basically, what l've learned so far is that the CC LC' is waiting for inlbrmation fi'om thc ACRA
on how local businc,~scs tizel about the expansion, and the AC RA is wai~ ~g for direction
thc CCI ,C on what sort of questions it would like posed to thc local businesses.
I'hc i'c~ult~ vi" my research, then. are as follows: it is a hlsehood for any ind i¥idual or
organization to claim that. al this point in time, it represents, or is sensitive to tile feelings of

Llt~til such lime as thc tkcJings and sensitivilios of nil local she? owners are taken into
consideration. 1 feel that plans }hr an expansion should no[ move forward.
