III. REPORTS FROM MEMBERS
A. Treasurer’s Report:
The Treasurer gave a report of the deposits,
money market and certificates of deposit.
B. 2007 Festival:
The August 19th festival started well with a good turnout
of artists and visitors and good music despite the faults experienced with the advertising. Unfortunately the rain
in the afternoon sent most of the artists and nearly all the visitors away.
Our expected income was diminished as a result. The fixed costs
for the festival are so high it doesn’t seem feasible to continue
the annual event. Promoting the six 3rd Friday events will be
looked at for an alternative to the annual festival.
C. Website:
Box of Chalk, Mark Valentine’s company,
is designing and hosting our new website, 39thstreetwest.org.
It will be more user friendly and can be posted
to directly by the administrator.
D. Lighting Project:
The survey of the area for the project is underway and
that will be used to complete the final plan for submission to the city.
At this time we expect by Spring 2008 the actual lighting
installation should begin.
E. Security:
Nothing negative heard. All positive response to date.
IV. NEW BUSINESS
A. General Meeting:
There will be a board meeting at 1:30 p.m. on October 18th
at the Center for Spiritual Living and following that at 2:30 p.m
. there will be a general meeting for all 39th Street people who want
to attend. A newsletter will be sent out at the end of September
announcing the meeting and inviting all to attend who wants
to learn what the CID is doing.
B. Tree Wells:
The contractor hired to install concrete tree wells
on 39th Street failed to complete the job after putting wells around
trees on only the 1800 block. It has been decided we should hire a
crew to complete the project on the existing wells which will include
removing the weeds, installing weed barrier and filling the wells
with an appropriate decorative material.
C. Street Cleaning:
The September newsletter will contain a suggestion
that storeowners take steps to clean the weeds from the fronts
of their buildings and sweep debris. Our cleaning crew picks up
large debris and removes graffiti but no sweeping or weeding is
included in the agreement.
V. NEXT MEETING
The next Board Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 18, 2007
at 1:30 p.m. at The Center for Spiritual Living at 1306 W 39th Street ,
Kansas City , MO. A General Meeting open to the public will begin
there at 2:30 p.m.
