itself or the general Chamber membership attempted to sabotage any City events. Many participated on the Fourth of July Committee and other committees. It unfortunate that a very few number of high visibility did, which was to the detriment of the Chamber and the general Chamber membership. I think that's really unfortunate. Sackett: The Chamber is saying that as an official Board action from the President, the Vice President is saying to be right next door to the City does give credence to the idea that we're trying to work together and we like that. There are fancier offices and other places at even better rates, but that's why that location is so key, because of its relationship to the City. Whether we like it or not, it is going to be played out in the press or otherwise that this is just another barrier between a cordial relationship. The opportunity to forge a better relationship with the symbolism here is worth taking. Gary Cummings, 415 Lois Drive, Louisville, CO, stated that he is not a member of the Chamber, just a concerned citizen. He felt that there had been enough disruption between the Chamber and the Council. He wondered if it was an absolute necessity that the City has to have that building, that it has to be done this year. He didn't think it was. Davidson: It is somehow perceived that if the City doesn't provide space to the Chamber, it's somehow anti-Chamber. I would like to point out that the cities of Lafayette, or Boulder, or Broomfield, or Longmont don't provide space to their Chambers. I don't think somehow that the City not providing space to the Chamber is anti-Chamber, because I don't think the City of Lafayette is considered anti-Chamber, or Longmont, etc. Davidson called for a five (5) minute recess. 10
