th
Bruce Dennis stated that it would potentially be a good thing to propose a delay in
the Town Hall Meeting until February in an effort to get the DDA to publicly
endorse the proposal.
All agreed that primary focus was to get DDA to publicly endorse the proposal.
Gale Price stated we could just push to gain this endorsement in conjunction with
the Town Hall Meeting.
One fear is that the DDA may be only focused on the issue of the two way street
conversion downtown.
All agreed that the Historic Commission representatives at the December 14 DDA
th
meeting will encourage public endorsement.
Britten Grafft added a bit of clarity to the endorsement process – stating that the
DDA may want to hear public response prior to committing endorsement.
Bob Kimball asked if there were budget dollars available for the proposed overlay
changes. Gale Price stated that it really is more about updating ordninances, etc. and
should not require a budget approval.
