MINUTES OF THE REGUALR MEETING OF THE MAIN STREET ADVISORY BOARD April 15, 2008 Cit,y Hall Council Chambers 107 E. Kaufman 3:00 p.m. A meeting af the members of the Paris Main Street Advisory Board was held Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 3:02 p.m., at City Hall Council Chambers. PRESENT: Kari Daniel Wyatt Bowden Cindy Allcorn Pike Burkhart Karol Lyn Maore Marvin Gorley Jennifer Long Matthew Coyle Larry Womack Becky Semple Bethany Golden ABSENT: Clifton Fendley Zach Saffle Discussion Reizarding Archerv Tournament Concessions Approximately $4,000 dollars was raised total, $2,000 going to Main Street and $2,000 going to the Visitors Convention Council. An additional chamber shoot was held this year on Wednesday and Thursday and will be held again next year. Archers requested that we have concessions for that time also and that we sell drinks in the woods while they are shooting. We received great feedback from the Archers. Charter vans were not used as planned so next year we will probably only have one van instead of two. Other considerations for next year would be food sponsorship. Oak Farms will be donating their services. We will not have the ready-made sausages next year that we had this year; we will go back to the fresh made breakfast. Paris is receiving 3 pages in the "year book" sent out by the Archers Association. Dates for next year are April ls`_Stn. Need to start thinking about what we want to use the $2,000 raised for. Discussion & Possible Action Regarding A Grand Theatre Committee It was suggested that we look for people outside of just The Paris Downtown Association and Paris Main Street for committee, including people in the construction, electrical, historical, financial fields, financial institutes, attorneys and city. Some names suggested included Becky Semple, Gary Brown, John Brazil, Greg Wilson, Plug Clem & Cindy Allcorn. It needs to be decided as to what we want the purpose of the building to be. On Apri128t" a contract for survey will be put before the City Council. The contract would include an assessment of the front fagade for structural stability and a fagade rendering. Once this survey is complete we will then be able to get quotes for restoration. A Brownfield Grand will be applied for in October for $250,000 - $350,000. What would the purpose of this committee be? We don't want to get a group of professionals together and not give them some type of direction. They could possibly be responsible for Master Plan that the Historical Preservation Council is going to want to see. A motion was made by Marvin Gorley that we hold off on forming committee until after we have more information about - 000041
