In attendance were committee members Michael Moore, Helena Abrantes and Martin Moore.

Michael Moore began the meeting by introducing a proposal to initiate the planning and implementation of a multi-purpose incubator for workforce development and job training in the City of Danbury. Ms. Herron acknowledged the need for greater emphasis on workforce development, however, she questioned the difference between the proposed incubator and the State of Connecticut Department of Labor (DOL) mandated One-Stop Job Center currently located in Danbury. Ms. MacKenzie argued that the City should avoid creating a program that would offer identical services currently provided by the State-mandated Job Center. By limiting such overlap the City would avoid diluting the already minimal funds available for workforce development programs. A discussion ensued regarding the merits of the proposal and the possible first steps in creating the multi-purpose incubator. State Representative Wallace and Mr. Wagner discussed possible alternative workforce development service providers and programs in the greater Danbury area. Mayor Eriquez recommended the creation of a consortium of these workforce development service providers that would not induce high overhead costs.

The report was received and its recommendations adopted on the Consent Calendar. 43 – REPORT – Governmental Entities Review and Evaluation Mr. Levy submitted the following report: The Governmental Entities Review and Evaluation Committee met on March 13, 2001 at 7:05 P.M. in Conference Room 3C in City Hall.

Economic Development Commission – Mr. Levy stated that this Board is inactive, but the Mayor would like to have it reactivated so that it can work with the Director of Planning to meet the goals of the new Plan of Development. Mr. Furtado made a motion to re-establish the Economic Development Commission for a period of two years. Seconded by Mr. Moore. Motion carried unanimously. Parks and Recreation Commission – Mr. Levy stated that this is an advisory commission charged with evaluation recreational needs in the City.

In attendance were committee members Michael Moore, John Gogliettino and Martin Moore. Also in attendance were Mayor Eriquez, Finance Director Dominic Setaro, Larry Wagner of L.

Michael Moore began the meeting by introducing a proposal to create a pool of funds that the City of Danbury may offer to business or property owners in the downtown 7 Page 7 of 9  Danbury Special Services Tax District. Eligible businesses or property owners would use these funds for maintenance and capital improvements to the outside of their buildings. The City would disperse these funds either as a grant or low-interest loan. Mr. Setaro described past efforts by the City to create a similar façade improvement program. Mr. Setaro stated that, in the past, business owners were not interested in low-interest loans because of the restrictions attached to the loan. Chairman Moore asked Mr. Wagner whether the City could utilize Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, allocated by the State of Connecticut, to initiate a façade improvement program. In response, Mr. Wagner provided an overview of the CDBG program and cautioned the City against using CDBG funds for this purpose. Mr. Wagner also cited the Connecticut Main Streets program. Dean Esposito asked for further clarification regarding the purpose of the proposal. Martin Moore asked if the purpose of this proposal was to ensure a consistent design among facades in the downtown area. Mayor Eriquez reiterated earlier statements describing past difficulties encountered by the City when attempting to create a similar program. Mayor Eriquez then discussed at length the City’s future plans for increasing business development and investment in downtown Danbury. Mayor Eriquez finished his comments by lauding the idea for a façade improvement program regardless of the apparent difficulties and recommended that the committee work with the City’s Director of Planning and community leaders to fashion a workable program. Mr. Gogliettino suggested a survey of downtown business owners to determine the demand for such a program. Mr. Gogliettino made a motion to leave the committee open for further study of the proposal. Martin Moore seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Levy made a motion to receive the report. Seconded by David Furtado. Motion carried unanimously. 45 – REPORT – Traffic Problems on Triangle, Cross and White Streets Mr. Saadi submitted the following report: The Committee meeting was called to order at 8:20 P.M. on February 21, 2001 in the Third Floor Caucus Room in City Hall.
