Honorable President
and Members of the City Council,
Attached for your consideration is a Resolution appointing Denis J. "Skip" O'Keefe to the
Downtown Business Improvement Area Board.
P
The Statute provides only that five or more board members serve on the board and that the
members of the Business Improvement Board shall consist of property owners, residents,
business operators, or users of space within the business area to be improved. Mr. O'Keefe meets
the qualification by being a business operator within the district and is being appointed to replace
Michael C. Wiese who resigned effective January 29, 2004. I would recommend Mr. O'Keefe's
appointment to the board to serve the remainder of Mr. Wiese's unexpired term which will
expire on June 5, 2005. A copy of Mr. O'Keefe's resume is attached for your convenience.
Respectfully submitted,
be) i. i.„. ,2„It.e./
