CITIZEN PARTICIPATION: Tom Binstock questioned whether URA provisions supersede C-1 zoning or vice versa. Attorney Windholz indicated that he did not have a legal opinion on this. Louis O'Riordan spoke on the open meetings law and cautioned the URA Board that the public is to be notified of any scheduled meetings where a quorum is present. O'Riordan questioned the 1% sales tax earmark to EPURA and whether this additional sales tax to help fund EPURA was more of a burden than a benefit to the public. O'Riordan mentioned potential conflicts of interest on the various Boards, political incest and cautioned against hiring of individuals, firms, etc. without advertising. Cheri Houser raised two questions: 1) If the special assessment district is created, do the merchants pay for parking to replace that parking which may be removed as a result of Confluence Park development? 2) Would EPURA consider not allowing deliveries on Elkhorn Avenue in order to minimize traffic congestion? Attorney Windholz indicated that negotiations were in progress with the developer regarding parking and indicated EPURA's interest in hearing from all merchants as to their thoughts and concerns.
