Excused were John Starr, Terry Butler and Stan Hajenga. Market update: Shae said the market provides a good shopping experience. Shae updated the board of the modifications that have occurred and particular issues that have come up. Kathy handed out proposed changes that Peter made to the operating agreement. Don and Bill agreed not to add the language changes from Peter. Bill said John Starr spent many hours redoing the resolution and agreement and he feels it shouldn't be altered. Kathy said she will hand out the resolution next Saturday and have the farmers respond by a particular date. Bill said after the comments are accumulated the Farmers representatives can meet with the CCLC to discuss the relative changes. Mark said he would prefer that the Farmers come to a regular CCLC meeting. Saturday's are very difficult for him to get away. Bill and Don agreed. Don asked if the sales tax comparison could be provided. He would like to see the difference between years. Collecting sales tax is a issue. Bill said he doesn't feel that government will monitor sales tax at each booth. Bill requested that information be provided on sales tax and the regulations when you ship. Shae suggested Kathy contact Carbondale Council for the arts and see how they collect their funds. Mark said we need some kind of systematic method. We need to let the vendors know that they can't just not pay sales tax and get away with it. Put some kind of fear mechanism in them. COMMERCIAL CORE & LODGING COMMISSION MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 6. 2006 Kathy stated that she mentioned to Peter that a new contract needs signed and now is the time to discuss grandfathering and the selection process. Shae said the ACRA booth is a success. Possibly we should increase the ACRA booth to two booths. Shae also mentioned that the non-profit booth was very successful and staff should send a letter to Susan Berdahl and thank her for organizing it. Bill pointed out that next year CCLC needs to discuss mall leases and those ones that are only open in the evening. Takah Sushi is chained and during the day it is a barrier for the mall. Public access needs to occur during the day. Dish is another restaurant that is open only at night. Shae brought up the commercial core and in reality the core is the two malls over to Boogies space. The Wienerstube is slated for offices and no retail and then residential. Shae feels the commercial core should be thought out. Expansion of the commercial core should be discussed. Shae requested that someone from Community development come to discuss expansion of the commercial core. Shae received the memo on recycling and she feels more dumpsters are coming through Aspen to get to the county. The impact is greater because they are forcing the garbage trucks to do more fUns to get to the county. The memo is not complete information. Meeting adjourned at 10:30 a.m. Kathleen J. Strickland, Chief Deputy Clerk
