ORAL COMMUNICATIONS A. Joan Jordan, Jefferson Avenue, Redwood City, member of the Redwood City Downtown Association, described the work she, Pat Hoffman, Barbara Britschgi and a score of other downtown merchants had done for this year's Sunflower Festival, and the unfortunate animosity between some of the associations's members. Mrs. Jordan distributed a report on the Festival's expenses and sponsors, and the work of the Sunflower Art and Wine Festival Committee, and described the reasons a separate account was established for the Festival apart from the Association as a whole. Mrs. Jordan advised that it takes years to build the reputation of a Festival and described the growing success each year of the Sunflower Festival. Mrs. Jordan advised Council that she had been sent a registered letter asking that she and Pat Hoffman appear before the Executive Board of the Association to explain their use of funds for the Sunflower Festival, and advised they both resented the implication that there was anything wrong with their use of funds to finance the Sunflower Festival, and that they had no authorization to set up a separate account for the Festival. Mrs. Jordan provided background on financing the Festival, the transition to new officers, and advised all accounts had been transferred to the new Treasurer, John Hollister as planned, and reminded Council of its promise to support this year's and next year's Sunflower Festival. Mrs. Jordan described the benefits of using this year's profits for next year's Regular Meeting Minutes September 21, 1992 Page 1 MINUTE BOOK NO. 51 Page No. 195 .. .- T _.
