In her quarterly report to the commission about the activities of the Olde Towne Shelton Associa- tion, Debbie Webber, director of the association, reported the vid- eo will be made by a new down- town firm, O.D. Unlimited, a vid- eo production business. Webber told The Journal the video will be 10-12 minutes in length and will showcase Shelton. OTSA will receive 1,000 copies of the promotional video, and Web- ber said she's hoping copies will be ready to be sent out by next spring. The video project is a co- operative venture involving OTSA, the Shelton-Mason County Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Council of Mason County. Commissioners approved a $7,000 allocation to OTSA for the video project. The money comes from the city's hotel-motel tax fund. Allocations from the fund are to be used expressly for tour- ist promotion. Besides O.D. Unlimited, other new firms to locate downtown re- Dots, a used clothing store, and Steven's Fine Dining, Webber said. In addition, Olde Towne Hobby, a toy and hobby store which also will offer classes for hobbyists, plans to open Novem- ber 2 in the 1912 Building. IN OTHER city business, com- missioners: • Approved a resolution that calls for the city to strive to build a cash reserve fund equal to three months' operating expenses in each of its operating funds and to limit the funding of non-city agencies to no more than 1.5 per- cent of the annual estimate of re- ceipts from property taxes, sales taxes and others. That limit will not apply to hotel-motel tax funds. Additionally, the resolution calls for the city to "whenever eco- nomically appropriate and feasi- ble" give its employees annual cost of living salary increases. The increases, if any, will be based on the annual June 30 Con- sumer Price Index for all urban consumers. The increases would be for non-union employees, since the city's union contracts have cost-of-living agreements in them. • Heard Mayor Scott ttilburn announce the city is holding at city hall. The sessions will start at 9 a.m. and run through- out both days. The public is web come to attend, he added. * AUTHORIZED Hilburn to sign an agreement with Mason Transit for $19,300 in federal grant funds to be used for a design study at David Shelton's Pear Orchard, a 2.8-acre parcel owned by the city between the downtown Lumbermen's store and the abandoned city sewage treatment plant on State Route 3. The city envisions development of its waterfront access corridor with a pedestrian path enabling residents to walk and bicycle from their homes to the waterfront and historic sites. The city will con- tract with landscape architect Robert Droll of Lacey for the design study. • Approved the allocation of $2,500 to the Yesteryear Car Club for tourism promotion. • Heard from Commissioner Janet Thornbrue that Develop- ment Services Director Gary Rhoades has been appointed by Governor Gary Locke to serve on the state's Public Works Board for four years.
