in one meeting; that a change in the boundary or formula
would necessitate a continue for at least 15 days , and
notice in the same manner as the original hearing date;
that staff was suggesting that a representative from each
side of the issue be selected by the pro and con supporters
to observe the tabulation; and he explained the protest
procedure.
Mayor declared the hearing opened.
Wayne Dewey, 1293 Rose Avenue, representing Uncle Don ' s
Toys, stated that the DBIA worked hard, and received a
lot of input to the proposed program; that the issue has
been talked to death; that a voluntary approach does not
work; that a bold, new approach is needed; that those
who do not learn from the past, are doomed to repeat the
mistakes of it and that it was time to get moving.
Karen Can 'trell , 520 E. Murray Canyon, General Chairperson
of DBIA subcommittee, and General Manager of Drapers,
stated that she was told when she accepted the position
that she was putting her head in a lion 's mouth; that
she was proud of the program; that it is easy to let rumors
put a wedge between neighbors; that the goals of all
business persons are the same; that petty differences
should be put aside; and that Drapers of Southern California
supports the assessment district.
Robert Fey, 423 E. Tahquitz, Fey Canyon Estates Realty,
stated that the proposal lacks a knowledgeable plan, a
majority support, and sensible boundaries; that as a
Realtor, he is limited as to where he may locate offices;
that he would like to be part of the downtown business
and that 2 years ago, he had spoken before the Council
urging it to allow real estate and financial institutions
downtown, but was told that those types of businesses
are not compatible with tourism, that he attended various
meetings concerning the DBID, and many ideas were rejected
because they were not consistent with merchant goals.
He distributed graphs comparing the proposed DBID to the
E1 Paseo business district in Palm Desert, and Palm Canyon
to areas outside it, and that the majority of the Realtors
and restaurants are outside of the DBID. He suggested
that the proposal be postponed for four weeks to allow
absent business owners to vote; to redefine the boundaries
to conform with the Central Business District to create
a more harmonious tourist retail group, and to avoid
confusion on what is "downtown" to eliminate the control
by the professional , retail-service of the spending of
the money; and to create a tourist retail oriented group
which can succeed.
James Callahan, 777 Panorama, representing Desert Fashion
Plaza, and Edward DeBartolo, read a prepared letter from
Mr. DeBartolo, stating that the corporation was vehemently
opposed to the district.
Melvyn Haber, 700 E. Stevens Road, Melvyn 's Restaurant,
stated that there are many organizations already formed
to help the downtown businesses and if they were combined,
perhaps more could be down; that a lot of people are upset
about the DBID; and that the people who are in favor of
it should band together, but not force the businesses
which do not want it to join the group.

that she is opposed to the district; and presented protests

downtown, he would have a conflict of interest, but the
assessment is on business owners, and not the property.
Councilmember Foster stated that he did own property,

P.S. Now has spent $100,000. , in special events, sponsored
coupon books, and has successfully tried to pull together
as a group; that the DBID is not an overnight idea, rather
thousands of man hours have been spent:; that downtown
business persons cannot stop in the middle of the season,
and start consideration of an assessment district, and
to suggest that there was a deliberateness to exclude
people from the process, is a lie; that feelings are :strong
concerning this issue; that mutual support is needed for
image enhancement;, that times have changed; that merchants
are not individual businesses, but a collective group;
that there is evidence to show that merchants are having
a hard time, e.g. , vacancies are up; and that if something
is not done now, it will be another 5 or 10 years before
it is done.
Jim Hicks, 701 North Patencio Road, President of Eadie
Adams Insurance Co. , stated that he supports the district;
that the idea of a district has been talked to death;
that the district is the only alternative to a successful ,
viable downtown; that he is glad he is not located on
