<br />Block Captains for Plaza - This task was delegated to the organizational committee. Main <br />Street Coordinator gave the chair of this committee some suggestions. Barbara <br />recommended that we go beyond the actual square to build this. This will ensure everyone <br />knows about such things as courthouse dedication, pumpkin festival, landscaping, etc. <br />(Organizational Committee) <br /> <br />Anice Read Grant for Signage - Won't make the deadline for this grant. The information <br />was forwarded to the organizational committee chair for review and possible action next <br />year. This grant can be used for different things - the organizational committee needs to <br />identify a use. Collaborating with Visionaries is a good idea - need to work together to get <br />things accomplished. (Organizational Committee) <br /> <br />Main Street Items For DistributionlMarketing - Main Street Coordinator passed around a <br />magnet as a great example of promotion of local farmer's market. Promotion committee <br />will work on. Linda Suarez Knox reminded me that my flyers for downtown are on <br />Marvin Gorley's computer? Need to track those down for chamber. Barbara Wilson <br />recommended plastic bags that say Main Street. (Promotion Committee) <br /> <br />Courthouse Re-Dedication Ceremonies - Main Street will sell sodas and water as <br />fundraiser for Main Street. Volunteers needed for set up of tables and chairs around the <br />fountain. Main Street Coordinator has also contacted a barbecue vendor for food sales. <br /> <br />Pocket Park - Gave a report on how Waxahachie funded their park. They sold brick <br />pavers, obtained grants, got public/private donations and had much in-kind donations <br />made. Their entire cost was $215,000.00. <br /> <br />Truck Ordinance - Will take effect after new budget goes into effect October 1, 2005. <br />Organizational committee needs to follow up within the next quarter to ensure this is done. <br />Walt suggested that Campbell Soup, Kimberly Clark, etc. put up signs that direct people to <br />them on the outsides of the Loop. He reported that truck drivers stop at Gene Roden's to <br />get directions because they are trying to get to these destinations. (Organizational <br />Committee) <br /> <br />Market Square Facelifts - Walt volunteered to help head this committee - which is a part <br />of the promotions committee (headed by BGolden). Would like to focus our efforts on <br />next year because this year's market is coming to an end. <br /> <br />Linda Suarez Knox would like for Main Street Coordinator to inform her of all events. <br />Walt asked if we could send her artwork, pictures as well and she said she was interested. <br /> <br />Discussed logo as well. Walt passed around an example of a logo that he and Jennifer <br />Long had been sketching. This is something that needs to be passed on to a committee for <br />final approval and presentation to the Advisory Board. (Promotions Committee). <br /> <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />T <br />
