Things are owned by the City so the City needs to fund them. The Renaissance Zone needs to be independent. We have a place to put art and cultural although we have no particular money. Promotion and marketing could be done by what used to be the downtown business authority. Clearly the townsquare has to be maintained and downtown guidelines have to be followed.
Snow has to be removed.
These are clearly City functions. Cindy stated that Doug Christensen feels there are two Council representatives for downtown and that should be enough. He was of the feeling that there should not be any organization. Steve stated that downtown is a district and a unique neighborhood that needs to be run in a certain way. It is different than a regular neighborhood and deserves special attention.
