Associate Planner Hogan said the idea is that the retail center will consist of businesses
that would compliment the hotel and arena.
Mayor Roberts said he is concerned that souvenir type businesses in the retail center
would have an impact on the existing retail businesses in Old Town.
City Manager Bradley said the project timeline is 16 to 18 months from final approval
to build out of the project.
Zev Buffman, proponent of the Old Town Entertainment Project, provided an overview
of the project.
Mayor Roberts declared a recess at 9:05 P.M. The meeting was reconvened at 9:38 P.M.
City Clerk June Greek explained the election process. She said the Riverside County
Registrar's Office has stated there are no matters scheduled for the March 7, 1995
election therefore, if the City were to hold an election on this date, the costs,
approximately $47,000, would not be shared. City Clerk Greek advised the Council that
some cities have chosen to conduct public opinion surveys, mailing out opinion surveys
to every registered voter in the City. The cost would be $10,000 less, with a 60%
voter turn-out.
City Manager Ron Bradley said staff's preference would be to have an election if that
is what the City Council decides.
Councilmember Mu~oz said he would vote in favor of an advisory election to be held on
