5. Gordon Baker introduced discussion regarding board terms and officers
positions pointing out that consideration should be given to the positions of
vice‐president and secretary.
6. Keith Hutchinson introduced a discussion of the Celebration of the 25th
Anniversary of the Georgetown Main Street Program and the 75th Anniversary
of the Post Office/City Hall. Mention was made of including recognition of the
Old Jail and Fire Station #1, but the general feeling seemed to favor restricting
the recognition to the Main Street Program and the Post Office/City Hall.
Cindy Locke suggested a preview of the new courthouse be included in the
celebration, and Larry McCormick suggested having tours of the historic
buildings on the square. Gordon Baker indicated that the Texas Downtown
Association was considering making a history documentary and suggested we
might help them raise money to cause them to do it in Georgetown. Gordon
Baker asked the membership to email him if they wish to help with the effort to
organize the celebration. Cindy Locke volunteered to coordinate a committee
to consider this issue.
6. Shelly Hargrove introduced Janlyn Ross, the marketing manager for Wolf
Ranch. Janlyn reported that the retail space was 80% filled and she distributed
handouts with a list of current Wolf Ranch tenants as well as a flyer giving
information on Grand Openings about to occur.
7. Gordon Baker reported that the group considering consolidation of CVB and
MSAB had met and recommended that the City consider employing another
staff member so that there would be one person with primary responsibility for
the CVB and another person with the primary responsibility for the MSAB.
Kirk Kriegel moved that the Main Street Advisory Board partner with the CVB
to present a recommendation to City Council that a new person be hired
allowing responsibilities for CVB and the MSAB to be divided between two
people. Cindy Locke seconded the motion and the motion was passed with a
vote of 5 yeas and 1 nay.
8) Meeting adjourned at 9:37 a.m.
