102 <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Mohr, seconded by Mr. Pico, to direct <br /> staff to bring back drawings to reflect the new design at a cost <br /> not to exceed $3,000. <br /> The vote was as follows: <br /> AYES: Councilmembers - Mohr, Pico, Scribner, and Mayor Tarver <br /> NOES: None <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> At 9:30 p.m. Council adjourned for a five minute break. <br /> <br /> 1A. Clarification of Council Position for Convention and Visitors <br /> Bureau "Buy a Brick" material and location. (SR 93:74) <br /> <br /> Ms. Scribner asked if the City intends to purchase the <br /> material and donate it to the Convention and Visitors Bureau for <br /> engraving and sale. She also inquired if the cobblestones will be <br /> used. <br /> <br /> Mr. Iserson thought the City would purchase the material. He <br /> further stated the cobblestones cannot be engraved due to their <br /> surface. <br /> <br /> John Walters, 5990 Stoneridge Mall Road, for the Convention <br /> and Visitors Bureau, indicated the Convention and Visitors Bureau <br /> will purchase the material, have it engraved, and donate the bricks <br /> to the City. The first choice is in front of the Museum and the <br /> second choice is at Wayside Park. The Convention and Visitors <br /> Bureau estimates it will sell 5,000 bricks. He indicated the best <br /> material for engraving is a 3 X 8 paving brick, which can be any <br /> color, including one which would match the cobblestones at the <br /> corners. <br /> <br /> Brian Dutchover, 5579 San Antonio, urged Council to adopt the <br /> program and let the Convention and Visitors Bureau and City staff <br /> work out the details. <br /> <br /> Shelby Martin pointed out that the Convention and Visitors <br /> Bureau adopted this plan last year after the City Council urged it <br /> to become more self-supporting. <br /> <br /> Ruby Greer indicated the program was a great concept and could <br /> draw people downtown. <br /> <br /> There being no further testimony, the public hearing was <br /> closed. <br /> <br /> 02/23/93 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
