I announced to the board that Angi Wang would be joining as a new board member and would be
appointed on February 26th so she will be joining us at the March 7th CCLC meeting. I also announced Bill
Guth’s resignation as of February 20th. Mr. Osur read Mr. Guth’s email to the board which stated his
frustration with CCLC not having a clear purpose or direction from City Council.
Ms. Butler said she understands his frustrations and said it’s a process. You have to stay on CCLC for 20
years to see things come to fruition.
Mr. Osur gave an update on parking before exiting the meeting.
Because there is not a quorum present, voting will have to take place on March 7th regarding minutes,
chair and vice chair as well as Ms. Strickland’s items and contract for the Saturday Market.
Ms. Strickland said she spoke to Jayne Gottlieb and she is ok with the guidelines they have given her and
she will be in the market every other week so there is an open spot there for someone else.
Ms. Strickland said that Anderson Ranch applied and she is glad to offer them a spot in the nonprofit
booth and they are thrilled to death. The nonprofit booth is filling up quickly with a lot of different
thing, such as, firefighters, science, art, Shining Stars, Anderson Ranch, etc. Ms. Strickland mentioned
making a change to the 2019 application to let nonprofits know that they can’t apply for a full booth so
they don’t waste their time. She also said that a question she will have in 2019 will be whether to let
Little Annie’s, who are currently under construction, to come out on the street or not. Ms. Butler
suggested to cut down on the space given to them. She suggested 10 feet if they apply. Ms. Tanaka said
we should support the local places first.
Regarding the Aggies, Ms. Strickland said they are going to meet with ACES, CAP K and Rock Bottom.
Those named felt they were being squeezed out and they are all going to meet to discuss so they have
been invited to the next aggie meeting. Ms. Raj said that both are valuable components to the market.
Ms. Butler said they can manage it in such a way that there is no conflict.
Ms. Strickland suggested that CCLC should approve the design of the market t-shirts this year and said
she will work with Felicia on a design. Felicia will do massages while her husband is selling the t-shirts.
She said the same design can also be used for the bags.
She went on to say that the checkbook has been balanced and the taxes are done so everything is good
to go for the next year.

Ms. Raj suggested adding a couple more weeks to the end of the market this year to extend it a bit.
Ms. Butler praised Ms. Strickland and said she does such a great job with minimal problems.
