COUNCIL BUSINESS
1 . Workshor) with Zev Buffman regarding Prosr)ective Amr)hitheatre
Zev Buffman presented his vision for the Old Town area as a major tourist destination,
depicting the early western era. Mr. Buffman outlined various ideas for the theme of
this attraction such as; wild west shows, cabaret theatres, showboat, venue for food
and wine shows, etc. He proposed the City fund construction of infrastructure
improvements and his company will be responsible for the operation of the attractions.
Mr. Buffman asked for the Council's support by entering into a Memorandum of
Understanding to study the feasibility of the proposed development.
Each Councilmember expressed support of the proposal and a desire to enter into the
MOU for the eighteen months.
Planning Director Gary Thornhill advised that during the Old Town Specific Plan
preparation, several studies have been performed on circulation, flooding, etc., and
may be useful in the design of this project.
Mr. Buffman expressed concern that the MOU doesn't preclude another individual from
coming in and buying up several blocks within the proposed development area.

support of Mr. Buffman's proposal, on behalf of the EDC.
