Seconded by Mr. Langland. All present voting aye. Motion carried. Alderman Larry Beach passed out copies of a latter which suggested that the responsibility of developing one segment of the Yorkville Comprehensive Plans mainly the Revitalization of the Downtorm Area,, be shifted or assigned the responsibility of the Business and Economic Development Commission. He stated that Mr. Walter Olsen, dhairman of the commission, had come before the city council and stated that his committee would like to work on this phase, but did not want to overlap with the plan commission who now have authority. Mr. Beach stated the Business and Economic Development Commission want to apply for a federal grantp but that is is a long process possibly taking several years. Mr. Dollman said that before any time or money is spent, the downtown businessmen should be talked to. Mr. Beach stated he felt some plans should be drawn up first to show to the businessmen. Mr. Langland stated there had to be a clear cut chain of command. Using the example of a city parking lots he inquired if approval would come to the plan commission or to the Business and Economic Development Commission. Mr. Dollman said if the people downtown want to go for the plan and spend the money,, it would be all right, but if they are going to reject its it doesn't make sense to set up another body. Dr. Coleman stated we should give it to the commissions but that they should report back to the plan commission. Mr. Beach stated he felt the plan commission did not have the time to devote to this section of the comprehensive plan. Mr. Dollman said he would like to have verbal or written committments from the people downtown before any studies are done or any money is spent. Mr. Langland stated the Business and Economic Development Commission should come back to the plan commission before they go to the city council. Mr. Clarage suggested that they could be a sub—committee of the plan commission. The committee originally was set up to attract new business to the Yorkville area and if they want to work on this new area,, Mr. Clarage could see no reason why they would object to reporting back to the plan commission. Mr. Langland said if the city council wanted to fragment the planning of the city of Yorkville, then give the entire responsibility to the Business and Economic Development Commission. Mr. Clarage said he felt a questionnaire could be prepared by Mr. Olsen's committee and sent to the downtown businessmen. Based on the answers received9 Mr. Olsen's group could then work with the plan commission. Mr. Langland stated that the demand was high for rental space in downtown Yorkville and that there are more people seeking space than offices available. He also said he doesn't think it was the job of the Business and Economic? Development Commission to work on this area, but if they dog they should report back to the plan commission. Mr. Clarage passed out copies of Industrial Information for Yorkville put out by the Illinois Department of Business and Economic Development. Mr. Dollman moved to adjourn the meeting and was seconded by Mr. Price. All present voting aye. Meeting adjourned.
