At the City Council meeting of December 15, the City Council created the Downtown Ad
Hoc Committee and appointed Mayor Pro Tern Green and Councilmembers Carchio
and Hansen to serve on the Committee.
Mayor Pro Tern Green has a conflict and is unable to participate. Councilmember Devin
Dwyer has agreed to take her place on the committee. To that end, I make the
following motion:

Green on the newly created Downtown Ad Hoc Committee.

City Council Interoffice Communication
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Gil Coerper, City Council Member
Date: December 8, 2008
Subject: CITY COUNCIL ITEM FOR DECEMBER 15, 2008, CITY COUNCIL
MEETING — DOWNTOWN AD HOC COMMITTEE
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
There are approximately 35 establishments that sell alcohol in a'/ mile radius in the
downtown area. For many years, on Friday and Saturday nights after 10:00 p.m., the
volume of intoxicated individuals and their level of intoxication cause problems within
the establishments as well as on the streets and sidewalks. These issues are not
confined to weekends during the summer months and holidays. It requires the use of
significant public safety resources to respond to the problems and does not create a
family -friendly environment for either the locals or the visitors to our community.
There have been different efforts at finding solutions to this problem. I propose that an
ad -hoc committee of downtown business owners, City Council Members, and members
from the community at large, be created to work with staff to make recommendations to
the full Council on potential solutions.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Establish an ad -hoc committee consisting of Mayor Pro Tem Cathy Green and City
Council Member's Joe Carchio and Don Hansen. That the ad -hoc City Council
Members appoint six members at large from the community and six BID members
(restaurant/retail) to focus on improving the environment in the downtown area during
the summer months, holidays, and weekend nights.
