It was <br />believed that a 25 percent assessment would not be a "drastic measure", <br />but yet would provide some funds. Further research and investigation <br />would be done before making a 2006 determination and recommendation. <br />A lengthy discussion ensued. Each Commissioner offered hislher <br />comments on the various elements and issues. <br />Elsa Gomez, Downtown business owner and former DSABA treasurer, <br />provided each Commissioner with copies of the 21 letters of petition that <br />she had submitted at the Regular Meeting of October 5, 2004, which were <br />addressed to Mayor Pulido requesting that the BID be dissolved. Ms. <br />Gomez stated that she does agree with a proposed budget for <br />maintenance; however, not with this BID. She thanked the <br />Commissioners for their efforts and concerns, and offered numerous <br />suggestions on additional questions to ask and issues to investigate. Ms. <br />Gomez reiterated that the BID members have received no benefit, stated <br />that she still protests the BID - at any assessment percentage, and again <br />asked that it be dissolved. <br />MISCELLANEOUS ADMIMSTRAT[ON <br />4.
