[OMS_MANAGERS] City government financial support

[PUGH Tracey]

Hi Juli,

I am the Main Street Coordinator in Coburg and I’m a City employee. We just got nonprofit status for our Main Street program.

I’d be happy to talk to you about the current status of things right now in Coburg.

We have a great relationship with the City but getting approval for certain Main Street projects has become a little challenging.

Give me a call at your convenience. Office is 541-682-7858. Or my cell is 707-799-3848.


My best,

Tracey Pugh
Main Street Coordinator​

Hi,

We are working with our city planner and new city manager to improve the relationship with Revitalize Downtown Stayton.  Of course we would like financial support but also to have a little bit of clout when pursuing design, economic vitality propositions and promotions.  I would love to hear from other Main Street organizations about their relationships with their city government:

Do any of you have an actual city employee for a main street manager and how does that affect your board?
Do any of you have financial support, but the employee is paid by the Main Street organization?
What was your city’s buy in to getting a full time Main Street Manager?
Does your organization have the same clout as your chamber of commerce?
Are you able to things in your downtown without having to have a city commission set up to oversee your requests?
Do any main streets work directly with their city council to get design (benches, trash receptacles, sidewalk art, etc) and promotions(farmers markets, concerts, Christmas tree lighting) approved?

Thanks for your time!
