Terry Butler and Eric Cohen were excused. Andrew suggested that Charles pick a vendor from the waiting list since he has found space on the street. Bridget MacTavish was told to fill out an application and get on the waiting list. Lisa Weiss from the ACRA said in order to do sponsorship they need property. They do not have any property or anything under their control. They have no property to sell. Bill said it has always been that way, the city owns the public right-of-way. Lisa Weiss proposed that a single car be placed where the horses park or on Cooper Ave. by McDonalds. She also purposed a permanent sampling booth area near Wagner Park run by the ACRA. Bill said cars on the street are not supported by the CCLC. The suggestion of sampling booths in the mall in which sponsors would be charged a fee to the sponsorship is good. Charles asked if the booth would be designed by the ACRA. Lisa said she hadn't thought that through yet. Marc suggested two or three possible spaces for display and sampling and that the ACRA would put up the tent and take it down. Andrew suggested the city own the tent. Lisa suggested three specific spaces. By Paradise Bakery on the street curve. Wagner Park and across from the Wheeler. Andrew said with the tables and chair that makes the Wheeler space tight. Charles suggested the ACRA and CCLC go together to City Council regarding the cars on the mall. COMMERCIAL CORE & LODGING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 16, 2004 Charles said he could support utilizing two to three spaces max to generate sponsorship. Andrew said autos are a hot button but we are not against it, if it is the right opportunity. Under the right circumstances we would not eliminate it. John said he would not approve the Wheeler space. Everyone agreed. It is too congested. Sanctuary special event. John said the timeshare does have a lease on the mall. Marc said he wouldn't want to see hotdogs by a real estate area every week. Andrew said he is a capitalist. Mark said there are many lost opportunities. Things should be planned ahead. He is in favor of the special event on the mall. Bill said if this were successful there would be no reason why everyone else will want to do it. Barry Gordon said they provide $10,000 worth of waterfor ACRA to sell at special events. Marc said he is OK with the selling of water. Andrew and Charles are OK with the selling of water but the proposed stations are a concern. John said his concern is the locations. He is also bothered why it is the ACRA that is doing this. Lisa said the money is a break-even thing. Andrew said when we see the ACRA budget we do not see money for special events there is no line item. Andrew said the ACRA should not be in the retail business, John agreed. COMMERCIAL CORE & LODGING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 16, 2004 Lisa presented her idea for XMAS.
