Voice vote, all in favor. MOTION CARRIED. OTHER BUSINESS: Mayor Tolomei said he had two issues he would like the Trustees to consider this evening. He wanted them to address the request from Trustee Poynton to re-establish a downtown revitalization group made up of people representing different segments of the community and to consider moving forward to accept a downtown redevelopment proposal. Discussion followed. Although there was agreement that the presentation by Torti-Gallas was outstanding and they liked the concept, Trustees Poynton and Branding wanted staff to request proposals and possibly involve more planners/developers. Mayor Tolomei stated his preference to move forward and not delay any further since he felt the delays have hampered the development of the downtown. He estimates it will take three to four months for RFP’s and presentations. Based upon the comments, Mayor Tolomei summarized that Trustees Taylor, Callahan, Johnson, and McAvoy were ready to move forward while Trustees Johnson and Branding wanted to obtain more proposals and see more presentations.
