businesses and other community wide members. To this end. we will make a one time contribution of $1,000 with
additional in-kind services up to the value of $4,000 to assist with the research and development of the plan.
WDA would like to obtain a formal commitment from the City staff and City Council to allow for our input and
participation in the development of the comprehensive plan. We require that the plan include an implementation
program that includes city participation as we as WDA participation. In order for any plan to be successful we
must obtain a commitment from the City to implement a plan on enforcement of ordinances to improve the
livability of downtown.
We are very encouraged by the City's desire to wode with us and we look forward to a successful partnership and
community program.
Very truly yours,
