David H. Ready, Esq., Ph.D.
City Manager
City of Palm Springs
3200 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way
Palm Springs, CA 92262
Dear Mr. Ready:
At its June 29 meeting, the Main Street Palm Springs (MSPS) Executive Board voted
unanimously (9/0), on behalf of the businesses of downtown and uptown Palm Springs,
to request the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) for fiscal year 2010/11 from the
City's Economic Recovery Plan funds to fund downtown and uptown marketing and
promotional programs. These programs were previously funded by the City through the
Business Improvement District, which was not renewed by City Council on June 16 in its
former format.
Main Street Palm Springs' request is to secure the $50,000 in funds for a marketing
program for downtown and uptown Palm Springs.
It is our understanding that the City Council is reviewing a few possible structures and
we trust they will make the best choice for all of us.
If additional information is required, please contact me at (760) 333-6820.
Sincerely,
Joy Meredith
President
