<br /> advised that Assemblyman Lempert said he could not be of any help because CaITrans did <br /> not listen to Assembly Members, but did listen to Governor Wilson. Council Member Ira <br /> asked that an organized effort be made to contact the Governor and key Republican leaders <br /> in the community. (205) <br /> After Council discussion, Mayor Howard referred this matter to the Council Legislative <br /> Committee whose members are Council Members Ira and Leipzig. Couneil Member <br /> Hartnett suggested that adding the voices of the Chamber's newly formed Transportation <br /> Committee might be helpful. <br /> MEMO 12/19/97 <br /> E. Mayor Howard complimented Pat Webb, Economic Development Coordinator, Community <br /> Development Director Nelson and staff for producing an insert sent to the community "to let <br /> them know about the businesses that are located downtown, how to get there, who they are <br /> and what they are doing, and please shop downtown." She said that in their enthusiasm some <br /> of the new businesses "were omitted because we had an inventory of businesses that wasn't <br /> kept up to date. Pat Webb and Deborah Nelson have gone to these businesses and spoken to <br /> them and written letters. And advertising will be done to compensate for those businesses <br /> that were omitted. That was a very entrepreneurial thing to do.... The merchants I spoke <br /> with today are very excited about the prospect of working with City government and working <br /> with their new Merchants Group. They had a meeting this evening and there is a lot of <br /> enthusiasm in that group and a lot of positive energy. I think they are going to be very <br /> successful."
