C. Discussion on Project Teams, Partner updates, and BRE visits
a. Fundraising – we have an image from the artist we have been working with. Kim will send it out
to the board after this meeting. We hope to have this online where people can choose how they
want it printed. We will get a portion of the sale. It will be time to start on the annual Christmas
ornament soon.
b. Breakfast Bites –September – Rachel Handcock will be doing a social media marketing
interactive breakfast bites. Maybe having it in a different venue – 309 coffee in their back area so
everyone can bring their own device and do a hands on training with her. We are still looking at
December, maybe having David Morgan and the Mayor talk about how the last year at the city
has been.
c. Blazin’ Beer Crawl – was a great success. Aaron and Christine were there. We did not have as
many people attend as those bought tickets. We had 77 no shows. Aaron – it was great, very few
lines, everything flowed very easy. A lot of great feedback just walking around. Kim – we did
very well for the fundraising event. We are still waiting on some invoices, but I have estimated
the cost. Between ticket sales, sponsorship and retailer fees and day of purchases and
prepurchase for swag we brought in just under $25, 000. After expenses we are estimating we
will clear about 18,000. This is only 2nd time for event, last time we made around 11,000 –
12,000.
d. Labor Day sidewalk sale – Marketing will ramp up next week for this. We will have artist group
setting up in Grace Plaza
e. Shop Small – We will start meeting for this next month. Aaron is on this committee, Dave and
Kate will also help. We are looking at getting some nicer bags than one we receive for free.
f. Partner updates – Michelle, with the Chamber – Allison’s last day is on the 20th. we will hold off
on filling her position until the new president is filled. Kim – would like to recognize the Chamber
for all their help with downtown businesses. DGA has a couple of new interns, they held a brief
meeting.
g. BRE visits – K. McAuliffe we need to work in a few visits if anyone has any suggestions. Kate –
Foundry42? Kim - we can check in with her together.

D. Staff Report – Kim McAuliffe, Downtown Development Manager
Update on the Façade Grant Balance – this is before we have any additions from the event. We are still waiting on
some reimbursement requests to come in, so the balance is showing $50,662. Of that just over $48,000 has been
encumbered. Council approved a one time increase of $40,000. That brings our current balance to $42,662.
New developments: City Post is partially open, Good folks progressing along but no opening date yet. Kilwin’s is
planning an opening before Popptoberfest. Active constructions projects: new sidewalks from the corner of To
Have and To Hold down to the mid-block. Also, enhancements to 7th/Rock intersections. Should be staring 7th/8th

Wanted to let you know that City Council has made it a priority for parking at the top of their list.
There is going to be an expansion of the Mural on Rock Street, the whole wall will now be a Mural. It is not going to
