4. Committee Reports:
a. Promotion: Denise reported that there will be 10 retail stops and two local
wineries participating. We currently already have around 50 wine bottles
collected for the wine auction, so board members will be responsible for
getting less donated this year. Wine auction tickets were distributed and
each board member is responsible for selling a minimum of 20 each.
b. Economic Restructuring: Jim reviewed the Fredericksburg Trip report and
the made a motion for the top seven goals to be added to the city’s
Signature Destination annual goals which include:
1. Public parking lot with retail on first floor
2. Green/amphitheater square space with public restrooms
3. Determine sustainable funding for downtown holiday lighting
4. Pursue downtown lodging options (less restrictive for B&Bs and a
boutique hotel)
5. Investigate to restrict first floor to retail/restaurant/attractions only
(no office)
