Institute attending the National Association of Hispanic Publications
convention. Will be checking email daily and returning to D.C. Wednesday. Joe
has contacted the producer and will give the developer's perspective. My only
concern about Jim's new effort is that I don't want him to start trying to get
the Post or other local papers to do articles about the Tivoli's history. To
preempt this Joe and I are developing a strategy to pitch a story from about
the developer's perspective. Have a great weekend. Haven't gotten to the
Blackjack table yet." |

"Councilmember Graham has gotten Andy Altman's office to
propose a $2 million preservation funds for the Tivoli in the 20001 budget. It
is not clear how these funds will potentially be used. I will be attending the
budget hearing with a couple of people from the community. It the funding is
not in concert with Tivoli Partner's development plans they will testify in
opposition" |

"We want to convey that Tivoli Partners is concerned about
preservation in the planning of the retail center. The media advisory is
designed to soften the Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) and to impress
upon the HPRB that highly respected preservationists agree that the Tivoli is
in a decrepit state with much of its historic fabric gone and that it would
need to be entirely rebuilt. We want the HPRB to understand that the plan that
Tivoli Partners will unveil is the only reasonable plan." |

"I spoke with Frances Smith, executive director of the the
Financial Authority, this morning and indicated that the 12 month period for
the transfer of the property rights was not tenable. He said that he said that
he had received a call from Bob Walker of the Redevelopment Land Agency, and
that Bob had expressed the same sentiment. Frenchie said that the the Board put
the 12 month provision in because they don't like the ERA process and they are
tired of the process taking so long. He said that the history of previous ERA's
is that they don't result in a timely development of the land. I said that
Tivoli Partners should not be penalized because of the Board's displeasure with
previous ERA's. He agreed and said that he told Bob that we needed to provide
the Board with a detailed explanation of why we need more time and that they
will take it under consideration." |
