December 17, 2009 Economic Development Retail Sales Tax Board Meeting <br />Minutes <br />In attendance were Board members Ellen Bern, Janet Wilson and Rosalind <br />Williams. Also in attendance were Bill Hughes and John Temporiti from Hughes <br />Co., City staff Andrea Riganti and Zack Greatens, and Joe Adams and Shelley <br />Welsch. <br />Rosalind Williams opened the meeting at 4 pm. Janet Wilson motioned approval <br />of the August minutes, Ellen Bern seconded and the motion carried. Andrea <br />Riganti introduced the Hughes Company staff who presented the results of their <br />marketing study. The Board gave feedback on the logo and district ideas. <br />Hughes will present the altered logo at an upcoming meeting. <br />The Board agreed that U. City should ask Olivette to hold off on the shared <br />signage at the 170/Olive exchange. We are interested but want to consider other <br />options on location, verbage and style. <br />Andrea Riganti will find out the status of the Olive streetscape improvements. <br />We want to know how much funding is encumbered and how much we can <br />reallocate because we don’t want to continue this project. Andrea will also <br />present the request from the Tax Board that part of the $140,000 the City took for <br />administration should be used to hire a full or part time economic development <br />person dedicated to the Olive project. <br />Joe Edwards reported that the Loop SBD would like money for security cameras <br />and also some funds to keep the cobra overhead lights on in the Loop. The SBD <br />is paying $3,000 annually to help pay for electricity for the lights. <br />The meeting adjourned at 5:30 pm. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Ellen Bern, Board Secretary <br />
