New Business

1. Desirable new business- Unfortunately the new business is not coming to town, due to the homeless, and issues that occurred on the potential site. But EXCITING news is that the owner of Taste of Tuscany is opening a new restaurant in Rio Linda. Owner Natalie Price says $1 from every dish will go back into the Rio Linda community!

2. Business Watch- Lots of discussion, Forest Johnson spoke and did a Q and A, the community is interested and would like to move forward. Tonia motioned, Stacey 2nd, motion carries.

3 Mayor’s Dinner update- Secured Lifepointe for venue, tickets are available now.

Other Comments or Concerns No further comments.

Director Comments: Stacey- Updated about the schools and thanked Forest and the community for showing up.

Dan- Comedy show was a great experience and hopes to see more like it in our community.

Tonia- Is super excited for Taste of Tuscany to come to town and states they are a business who invests in their community.
