Now there are too many to count, and all are great choices. <br />The Clean & Safe program (25D) is needed now more than ever, especially with all the construction going on, due to the <br />Street Car and future development. The businesses rely on the cleaning crew and depend on security & SAPD. <br />The Merchant Fund Revenue (25E) has brought so many events and programs that has made DTSA a destination, events <br />like Savor SA, Boca de Oro and the monthly Artwalk. All of these have brought people from different areas, not just OC. <br />BID Renewal (75B) this assessment is vital to both DTI & SABC, they depend on this in order to continue the <br />improvements and promotion of the businesses. <br />I am asking that you approve all three items on the consent calendar. <br />If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at 714-401-8312 <br />Sincerely <br />Tish Leon <br />President, Downtown Neighborhood Association <br />Downtown Inc, Board Member <br />
