CCLC Survey: Terry said we need to be clear on what we are asking and not be
too vague.
Hanna said we need feedback as to what is important to businesses and what they
would like changed in the core. We could have a meeting instead of doing a
survey and get businesses to come. Surveys aren't the best way to get information.
Terry said a lot of owners are not here.
Hanna said they could designated a manager or owner to come. It would have to
be someone with a business. You could do a happy hour at Aspen Square or some
place and have the businesses bring up the questions.
Bill said it is hard to have a survey crafted.
Hanna said it would be better to have a face to face meeting.
Bill said we should invite the ACRA board.
Hanna said we need to work on a data base for businesses.
Kathy said Riley has a data base started and we can check with him at the next
meeting.
Winter market
Hanna said everyone should check out christmansfromgermany.com to see the
German ornaments that should be represented in the winter market.
Bill said he is waiting for some cost figures on putting this on and different
proposals.
Mall Leases:
Kathy said we already formalized the tents in inclement weather and we need to
discuss amplification regarding the mall leases.
Environmental Health is having a work session to discuss changing the decibel
level in the core.

Terry said we have worked hard to keep the music low and not disturb neighbors
etc. that live in the core. You don't need music in the mall lease area when people
are trying to eat. Everyone has to be respectful that people live in the core.
MOTION: Terry moved to leave the mall leases as is except with the addition of
tents. Motion second by Hanna. All in favor, motion carried.
Saturday market
Terry said Hyman Ave. is different.
The continuity of the market is not enhanced by letting spaces be open with
nothing in them.
Don suggested that we require tents in the open areas.
Hanna suggested that we give the businesses first right of refusal. If they choose
not to display their wares or a representation of their product then the space will go
to someone else to occupy it.
Bill said we need to charge the full rate on Hyman for next year $460.
Kathy said she has not charged Twinkle or Sugar in the past.
Bill said everyone has to be equal. They can split the booth costs. Bill said they
have had a break for three years and Hyman is successful.
MOTION: Hanna made the motion that all vendors pay the full amount of$460.
For a booth. Motion second by Don. All in favor, motion carried.
MOTION: Don moved to adjourn; second by Terry. All in favor, motion carried.
