University Hill commission appoints interim representatives to DDA advisory group
Summary
The University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission appointed two representatives to the Downtown Development Authority advisory group, with commissioners agreeing interim representation is acceptable and that appointments can be changed later if needed.
The University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission voted Sept. 2 to appoint two representatives to an advisory group forming for a proposed Downtown Development Authority (DDA). The advisory group’s first meeting is scheduled for Sept. 16; the consultant Puma has begun stakeholder outreach and the advisory group will meet monthly through next summer to support planning that could lead to a November 2026 ballot measure.
Commissioners discussed whether to make permanent appointments or name interim representatives who could be swapped later. The commission agreed interim representation was acceptable so the commission could be represented at early meetings while final appointees are confirmed. The commission then moved and seconded a motion to appoint Tal Jones and Danica (last name not specified in the meeting packet) to represent the commission on the advisory group; the motion passed on a voice vote.
Staff said the advisory group meeting cadence would be monthly, and that the City Manager’s Office will share meeting logistics once the group is convened. Commissioners discussed the length of the commitment and noted that appointees can be swapped later if schedules or interests change. The commission did not set a formal term beyond participation through next summer.
