Members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) for the 39^th Street Community Improvement District (the “District”) and guest were present as follows:

III. REPORTS FROM MEMBERS

A. Treasurer’s Report: Dave Minkler reported our current financial status. February’s deposit was $5,887.46 compared to $5,811.29 in Feb ’09. Our balance in checking is $17,031 and our money market balance is $78,131. There was no need to move any money to checking this month.

B. Lighting Project: Hal updated the Lighting project. All the materials have been ordered and everything is in but the controllers. The best estimation is that installation will begin in mid/late March and should take roughly 60 days to complete. A proposal was made to add copper wire anti-theft devices at an additional cost of about $4,000.00 for the 33 light fixtures. After some discussion, including the fact that the equipment can be added at a later time, the Board voted unanimously against the proposal. Hal further reported that Mark One will provide maintenance for the light fixtures, and hold the one back-up pole in reserve at no addition yearly/periodic cost. We had budgeted $5,000.00 for this service. We will, of course, have to pay for any work needed if a fixture were to be damaged. The estimated costs for electricity is $1,000.00 annually.

D. Security: “Scoop” reported several concerns. Bikram Yoga said that the officer was “quite rude” and Mr. Z’s communicated that security was not present when they’re closing as they’ve done routinely for some time. Ted stated that he’d talk to the people in charge and try to get to the bottom of it. On a positive note, World Liquors was having a problem with shoplifters and was happy with the service they’ve received.

E. 3^rd Friday Concert Series: Mark proposed going in the direction of showcasing independent “teen bands,” highlighting something different from all the other competing venues. Much discussion ensued, including an informational review on the matter of music royalty fees and BMI,

F. Marketing: Mark gave us a brief update on marketing efforts. He continues to refine the parameters of a possible 39^th Street /area photo contest in conjunction with the website, in efforts to keep it fresh and relevant. Mark and Gary will continue to iron out the rules. “Scoop” apologized that he did not get much done in the last month, as he was laid up injured much of the time. He is looking forward to being a lot more productive next month.

G. Beautification: Further discussion on the lightpole banners. Max reported that the banners will be printed and completed by Focus in the next week. The installation of said banners is still “up in the air.” Ha, Ha. We also discussed the ongoing problem of graffiti. The conclusion by the Board is it the responsibility of the individual property owner/occupant to deal with it on an individual basis.

H. Legal: The invoices from our lawyers are much better/in line with our budget.

I. Other New Business: Work with the city continues by several individual members to get a stop sign installed at 39^th and Bell . In a related matter, status was updated on the “logo” signs on the street. Approval was given to pursue “Please drive slowly” signs to be installed, and perhaps even pedestrian crossing signs, along with the replacement logo signs

IV. NEXT MEETING

The next Board Meeting is rescheduled for March 25^th, 2010 instead of March 18^th, due to Spring Break and St. Patrick’s Day conflicts. Meeting at Commerce Bank at the 43^rd Avenue Banking Center, 1906 West 43^rd Avenue , Kansas City , Kansas

2010 Budget

The meeting was called to order at 9:14 a.m. at Commerce Bank at the 43^rd Avenue Banking Center, 1906 West 43^rd Avenue , Kansas City , Kansas .

Members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) for the 39^th Street Community Improvement District (the “District”) and guest were present as follows:

September minutes were not available, therefore will be approved in the November meeting. Since Vic was not present, Bill volunteered to keep the minutes for the October meeting.

III. REPORTS FROM MEMBERS

A. Treasurer’s Report: Dave Minkler reported on the account and on the monthly deposit history. The October deposit was $8,116.25. No transfer to checking was necessary to cover the monthly expenses. $27,625.00 was transferred from the money market account to the checking account to cover the deposit on the poles and fixtures for the lighting project. The report was voted on and approved.

B. Lighting Project: Hal submitted a written report as follows: Contracts are signed but not yet delivered. Fixtures and poles are ready to be purchased, subject to final approval of Confluence, issuance of order and 50% deposit with Western Extralite. Deposit check has been cut but will not be delivered to Western Extralite until acceptable payment terms are worked out between KCMO, CID and Mark One. The goal is to get payment terms agreed upon without the need for a short term loan from a bank. Discussion then followed, where it was determined that $30,000 - $40,000 would be left in our account after all the CID’s direct responsibilities were paid for. In addition, it was reported that Mark One has agreed to getting paid after we have been paid from KCMO.

D. Security: New shift hours will begin in November and run thru mid March in ongoing efforts to keep our expenditures under control. They were going to be 9:30pm till 2:30am Tuesday-Saturday, but the consensus of the merchants preferred a 7:30 till 12:30 shift so customers saw the security as they entered establishments. As of September 1^st, there is no day shift and the night shift runs from 7:30pm till 2:30am.

F. Marketing: Mark, Vic and Gary were not able to attend, so Max gave the latest scoop. Gary has visited approximately 90% of the businesses in the District, mostly to a warm reception. A plan of attack is still being formulated, with a questionnaire being developed to determine and prioritize the most pressing issues pertaining to marketing. The website is still the number one priority, to get and keep it updated and to share the news of the month. We also want to get it in line with our other marketing efforts, i.e. the banners and billboards, so we’re creating a cohesive brand.

G. Beautification: Banner Update: Most pieces are in place, but Max will meet with Pam from the Volker Neighborhood Association to cross the t’s and dot the i’s., as well as to confirm who will handle the installation of the banners.

H. Legal: Ongoing discussion about the updated CID roster and the Missouri Department of Revenue. Progress has been made, but there still is uncertainty as to the process of registering new businesses that enter the District and determining who our point of contact is with the DOR.

I. Other New Business: It was discussed that we were overdue (way overdue!) for a General Membership Meeting. There were no delusions that there would be a great turnout, but that it is our responsibility to have it nonetheless. It was unanimous that we have it before the Holidays, so a date of Tuesday, November 17^th at 10:00am was chosen. Bill will contact Mark at the Center for Spiritual Living to see if they would be interested in hosting again. It would be one of Gary ’s responsibilities to notify the general membership. It was further decided that we have our regular Board Meeting immediately prior to the General meeting, at 9:00 at the CSL.

Discussion on how to get the collection list updated and then how to prevent the same from happening in future.

D. Security: There was discussion on how cut additional hours from the budget as our actual budget is considerably less than the previous year. Will cut Sunday day shift entirely and cut an additional 2 hours per day. Currently have cut approximately 800 dollars per month with a September cut of 2800.

B. Lighting Project: Hal provided a summary of the bid readings on the installation of the lighting fixtures held on March 17^th. Mark One was the clear choice with a bid that was low but not ridiculously so. Hal will provide an easy to understand comprehensive breakdown on the project that the board can then vote on in the April meeting. Hopefully it will include a cost on the decorative bases, storage of fixtures, PIAC funds and the difference in cost for the three different proposed phases. On an unrelated note Brian Clark and Associates, our design consultants, have officially changed their name to Confluence.

Members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) for the 39^th Street Community Improvement District (the “District”) and guest were present as follows:

III. REPORTS FROM MEMBERS

A. Treasurer’s Report: Dave Minkler gave a very thorough report of the deposit history, comparing 2009 to 2008, indicating a 20.74% decline. There was a 31.51% decline in the August – February period. The deposit for February ‘09 was $5,811.29 compared to $15,356.52 for February ’08.

B. Lighting Project: Hal updated the Lighting project. The long process of designing and approving the first phase of the pedestrian lighting project is complete. The project was published for public bid in late February and the bids will be opened on March 17^th. Hal expects the work to be completed by late summer.

C. Budget: Hal submitted the budget to the law firm and it as successfully forwarded to the state per our by-laws.

F. Marketing: Mark reported that he recommends modifying our marketing plan, both for budgetary purposes as well as effectiveness. The mass marketing approach utilizing magazine, radio and radio streaming resulted only in limited success. He suggests focusing on the immediate area (39^th Street, Volker, Westport , etc) utilizing a guerilla marketing plan incorporating the website and newsletters. Discussion ensued on the scope, form and distribution of the newsletter. Everyone agreed on the importance of the newsletter but also recognized how difficult they are to sustain month after month. Finding someone similar to Lucy Klemovic who was connected to the goings on of 39^th Street would be ideal, but till then the board agreed to divvy up the reporting of different key functions and forward them on to Mark for the website. Mark proposed and the board approved immediately suspending the contract with INK magazine and would pursue no further contracts with outside advertisers, at least for the time being. We do want to revisit billboards, however. Max reported a quote for 4 billboards would cost $4,000.00 for a full year coverage ($75.00 per month with a $400.00 set up charge) The money is in the budget, a motion was made and approved that we move forward on the billboards.

G. Beautification: Further discussion on the lightpole banners. Max received a quote from Focus printing, but it does not include installation and are unsure of the lasting durability. Ted will find out if Dan Albright would hang banners we provide and at what cost.

H. Legal: Statute of Limitations is five years, according to King Hershey. The date of the last work (not) performed was February 2003.

I. Other New Business: PIAC deadline approaching fast – April is the deadline. We need to reconcile actual current CID member lists.

J. Other New Business: Judy Widner, a long time director of the Volker Neighborhood Association and strong ally of 39^th Street is no longer officially involved with VNA. Pam Guilford is the new director and has stated a desire to be involved and supportive of the CID’s efforts, but will be out of town for the next three weeks.

IV. MEETING ADJOURNED

B. Lighting Project: Hal and Ted updated the Lighting project. The lighting hardware bid came in, with Western Extralite appearing to be the preferred vendor. Many questions remain, such as storage, bases for all units among others. The construction phase goes to bid in February

C. Budget: The 2009 Budget was discussed in detail. After much analysis, proposed cuts were made across every function and a budget of $120,000 (30% less than the 08/09 budget) was voted on and unanimously approved. Hal will submit to the law firm to be forwarded to the state per our by laws.

D. Security: Max talked to the security firm about consistent “downtime” and if it could be prudent to trim the hours worked. They had some recommendations that made good sense and would be discussed at subsequent meetings.

F. Marketing: Mark reported he would clean up the mess/confusion with KC Magazine and that we won’t pay for what we don’t get. Mark still gives high marks to INK Magazine, and is worth a $12,000 a year expense. The mailbox/billboard concept, however, never came into fruition. He is still “pro – events” saying that they create a brand and bring people into the District. The 39^th Street Board prepaid Mark for services to be rendered and he will get the accounting cleaned up for the 08/09 books. Mark will also get the codes for the website from Lazarus to get the sites aligned and updated. He would like to stay on as our marketing consultant if we’ll have him.

I. Other New Business: PIAC deadline approaching fast – April is the deadline.

III. REPORTS FROM MEMBERS

A. Treasurer's Report: The Treasurer gave a report of the deposits, money market and certificates of deposit. Vic provided Fiscal Year to Date reports of the Balance Sheet and Income Statemen

B. Lighting Project: Hal updated the Lighting project. Last board meeting I thought we were in a position to submit plans for review. That was not the case because of insurance. We went around and around with the Public Works 2-3 weeks on the subject of insurance. They would not allow permit application until they approved our insurance coverage. We lost about a week because Public Works required physical hard copies (instead of email which, of course, is ridiculous) of our certificate of insurance. Once they got it, they could not read it correctly, so we had to identify and contact the correct person, then show them the certificate in-fact does provide the coverage they require. This was completed last week. As of Friday Public Works agreed to send the contract and insurance to Finance Dept. to encumber (approve) our project, which is expected to happen next week. Upon Finance Dept. encumbering the project, our PIAC money will be placed into an account for use on the project and will available to pay for project costs including Permit Application Fees, etc. So we do not wait 30 days for the city to process our pay request, I recommend we pay the Permit Applications Fees directly to Public Works and get reimbursement from the Piac Funds. The application was made and the permit fee paid. We need documentation form the City. The City in now in the review and approve process. Discussion was made to get Ted a copy of the new plans so he could also look for potential savings via other purveyors

E. 3^rd Friday Concert Series: Board stated that the Bands started late due to weather, but didn’t stay late. Discussion to have bands always play until 10:00 pm. Attendance has been slow. Beer sales for July were 171.00 with 74.50 in costs for a 96.50 net. CID 20% was 19.30.

F. Marketing: Mark reported we are still waiting for Bill Board on trash can ads. We are giving away a 1000.00 dollar print from David McQuitty. Discussion held about competition from other festival events on same day contributing to low volume. Discussion was held about other marketing ideas, perhaps a raffle for a high ticket item. Visit KC magazine ad was completed with artwork sent for Fall/Winter issue. Discussed other ideas for Coop advertising, coke cans, etc. Discussed need for master email list and ways to generate more emails for email blasts.

G. Beautification: Discussed need for sidewalk repair with possibility of a 50/50 split of costs with property owners. Reported some broken tree boxes and need for maintenance. Hal reportedI received from Judy Widener, Volker Neighborhood Association, five locations of areas where the sidewalk is in need of repair. Addresses are: 912, 1208, 1210, 1412 and 1414 W. 39th St. I inspected each location and attached photos for your review.

My thoughts are:
