Dave Iremonger presented the staff report. Ms. Acosta indicated there have been conversations for some time about forming a stronger parmership with the Downtown Association. The timing is now. The Downtown Association has demonstrated it is doing a great job and increasing its effectiveness, along with becoming a true part of the entire community. Ms. Ayala referred to comments about reviewing the bylaws and encouraged adding a resident member. Craig Scharton, 235 Main Street, indicated this reflects a conscious effort to have the Downtown Association move from being a merchants' association to becoming a tree community-based organization. He welcomed a residential member and for property owners to be represented. The organization is seeking broader partnerships. That is one of the elements that will be heavily weighed in the application for the California Main Street Program. Pleasanton City Council 22 Minutes 12/07/99
