Water Cart

  • The water cart has broken down.
  • Terry got a new battery.
  • New pump may be needed and that will be $450 plus shipping and taxes.
  • Will try a less expensive pump and install it.
  • Waiting to hear from Riverside about their water cart for parts.

Street Sale

  • Not going well. Some vendors have dropped out.
  • Terry suggested buying tables instead of renting them from Festival. We could then use them for other events and save money in the long run.  Terry will order ten tables and he has chairs that he can bring for the sale.  Danielle said that we could store the tables at Hawkins Accounting.
  • Diane’s band is playing during the Street Sale.

Marketing  David was not available due to his residential move.

Capital Works

  • Bridget gave a report indicating that AngelStar Graphics has designed the address and pole banner and we now have to determine how many will be needed. Bridget will get a listing of the property owners from the City
  • Ask Stefan if we can put on east median which appears just outside of the BIA boundary.
  • Notices will be going out to the property owners to get permission to adhere the business address banners to the buildings.
  • Will also be going out to the business owners, once we have heard from the property owners.

New/Old Business

  • Terry stated that Christian is doing well with the maintenance. There is not enough work for 20 hours.  We should look at the budget and see if we have enough to pay him for the 20 hours, so that we can apply for the $2,000 rebate.  There may be other grants available next year.
