The motion was seconded by Councilmember Bierman. <br />Motion passed. <br />4. Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda: <br />Public Comment from Sherry Sommer: Ms. Sommer wondered whether the City <br />could require developers to pay their way on transportation, similar to what is <br />required for water. Director Zuccaro noted that the City does currently have <br />impact fees for transportation, which is intended to require developers to pay a <br />proportional share of impact to maintain the level of transportation service. <br />Public Comment from Michael Menaker: Mr. Menaker expressed concern over <br />moving forward with a temporary closure of Main Street. He mentioned that <br />repeating the closure that was implemented during COVID would not be <br />successful, and felt that this was an antithesis of all the work that has been <br />done on the Downtown Vision Plan. He wondered whether a summer closure <br />could be used as a test for implementation of the Downtown Vision Plan and <br />cautioned that an unsuccessful closure could take away from the Vision Plan. <br />5. Discussion/Direction — EVC Outreach Meetings: <br />Manager Zarate gave an overview of the four different proposals included in the <br />memo and recommended either an industry approach or business size <br />approach for the outreach meetings. Manager Zarate concluded her <br />presentation and asked for feedback from the EVC. <br />City of Louisville <br />City Manager's Office 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4533 (phone) 303.335.4550 (fax) www.LouisvilleCO.gov <br />
