Councilmember Olson said he came here with the belief that the committee should include the Chamber of Commerce, particularly because the PDA is represented here. He asked and staff again confirmed that he could accomplish this with his at large selection if desired. Vice-Mayor Brown noted that several Chamber of Commerce members serve on the Economic Vitality Committee and other commissions, which could be another way to accomplish the same.

As the Council considers applications, however, it does need to be cognizant of avoiding any unforeseen conflicts that could occur when talking about the redevelopment of the downtown site or other opportunities.
