Temple Visitors November 12, 2002/Jean: A family from
Sacramento/LA visited and spent quite a bit of time talking
with Bing who conducted the tour.
B. New
Business:
Global Theme Consultants/Paul McNamara: These consultants have proposed a Chinese cultural center for the City of Marysville and have entered into Memorandum of Understanding to determine if enough money, buildings and property are available to do it without costing the City anything. Global is to include all groups (Bok Kai, Suey Sing, Hop Sing, and the City). One member from each group will be on the Ad Hoc Committee to meet with Global. They are looking at the old Hollywood Trailer Park. They have interested sponsors in Mainland China. They would like to build a Chinese Village in the old trailer park, which already has the required amenities (water/sewer), established. This would be a representation of life in old China and will not conflict with anything the local Chinese community is doing or plans to do including the Chinese museum. They must work with the local community. Global would design the project with local input to planning. The City passed the MOU on November 19; the agreement is up in November 2003. Paul will let us know when Global will have a meeting. VIII. Comments
from the floor:
1.
Billie: Received information from ARG for the project
close out. We were supposed to get one for the whole project.
Billie talked to David Wessel that we keep getting bills.
Supposedly we have the last one. He said the bills can
wait if we don't have money for the last two invoices
($6000 and $1000).
2.
Billie: Talked to Dirk Helder, Mayor of Marysville, to
check on proposition 40 money. Applications will be out
in March.
