<br />... <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> <br />Don Shonkwiler, representing Homart Development. <br /> <br />Shonkwiler: Presented $500.00 to the Centaurus After Prom <br />Parents on behalf of Homart Development. <br /> <br />Carnival: Thanked Homart Development on behalf of Norbert <br />and Mary Meier and on behalf of all of parents <br />involved. <br /> <br />Greg Beary, 1833 Polk Ave., Louisville, Colorado <br /> <br />Beary: I have been following with great interest Mr. <br />Howard's Restaurant Incentive Program and given <br />that there is no public comments on tonight's <br />agenda I would like to say a few words about it. <br />I left a copy of the letter to the Editor in your <br />mailboxes prior to your last meeting. In it I <br />outlined my concerns regarding Councilman Howard's <br />proposal. In a nut shell there resolves around <br />the fact that only a fraction of our business <br />community is targeted. Eating and drinking estab- <br />lishments account for less than 25% of our sales <br />tax revenue. Only 7 of the restaurants in town <br />have agreed to this proposal. The facts regarding <br />this plan keep changing. Originally Mr. Howard was <br />to use this plan to boost Monday and Tuesday night <br />sales. Now, I understand that the restuarant <br />owners get to decide when they want to participate <br />and in what given way. Lastly, while Mr. Howard <br />claims that he is using his money to get this <br />going, today's Dailv Camera article states that <br />this is only the first step. When the punch card <br />system gets going our city will be obligated for <br />more than the $4,000 per year Mr. Howard currently <br />proposes. What I want to know is why are my tax <br />dollars being considered to support the private <br />business activities of a few. None of this makes <br />sense or at least it didn't until the Louisville <br />Times provided me with a clue. I have already <br />provided the people in the audience with copies of <br />Mr. Howard's campaign disclosure form. At this <br />time Mr. Beary provided the City Council with <br />copies also. You will notice that Joe Colacci.... <br /> <br />Mayor Fauson: Stated that he had asked for Public Comments on <br />items not on the agenda. This item is on the <br />Agenda and you would be able to speak to it at <br />that time with a sign up card. If you would like <br />to speak to the Restaurant Incentive Program, you <br />may do so at that time. <br /> <br />Mr. Beary agreed to wait until then. <br />
