AGENCY MEMBER REPORTS:
4. Downtown Events -Great Race 2006: -File R-181 x R-140#8
Economic Development Coordinator Stephanie Lovette announced that subsequent to the
finish of the Great Race 2006 in San Rafael, the drivers and navigators chose San Rafael as
the best overnight city, and for that made a $10,000 donation to the Friends of the Library.
She noted the Friends did a tremendous amount of work in welcoming everyone to San
Rafael.
On behalf of Economic Development Director Nancy Mackie, Ms. Lovette expressed thanks
to Joanne Webster, Business Improvement District, Mark Essman, Visitors Bureau, Tallia
Hart, Chamber of Commerce and Brian Auger, Special Events Manager, City of San Rafael.
Thanking everyone for the excellent job, Chairman Boro stated they traveled through 46
cities and fourteen states in fourteen days, driving 4,100 miles, and he believed San Rafael
really did the best job.
Concurring, Vice -Chair Phillips stated that everyone involved made the entire event fun, and
receiving the $10,000 for the library was most rewarding. He commented that the navigator
did an outstanding job directing them all the way from Philadelphia to San Rafael and he
thanked everyone who participated.
Complimenting Vice -Chair Phillips, Chairman Boro stated that driving a 1931 Model A Ford
was quite difficult, especially going up and down hills and trying to achieve speeds in a
timely fashion, and more specifically, controlling the car when it ran out of brakes.
There being no further business, the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency meeting was adjourned at 8:14 PM.
JEANNE M. LEONCINI, Agency Secretary
