a. 9 East Plaza - Artesia Enterprises, LLC -Gary Brown, Artesia Enterprises, LLC,
stated he wants to restore the faqade to the original look of the building. He has
chosen a natural color for cast stone so it will look like cast stone and not painted. He
emphasized that he wants to use Monterrey White for the trim and Handcock Grey for
the brick. The mortar is deep, giving it a more authentic look, less glossy. Mr.
Brown further stated he took the buildings adjacent to his into consideration to
coordinate color-wise; and the same door and window design will be wrapped in
wood like the ones on the top floor. He went over the proposed sign as well, with no
lighting proposed at this time. There will be a loft upstairs. The alcove will be
wrapped in bead board.
Arvin Starrett stated the paint issues for brick/trim is regulated by the Commission
and must be masonry color only, but trim is fine so long as it is in the paint book. He
also asked what evidence shows the material used in the alcove, and if masonry was
used in the alcove. Gary Brown said he could only see wood plate lines. Chairman
Starrett stated using bead board to replace masonry was not appropriate according to
the Department of Interior Standards. Arvin and Paul recommended bringing brick
panels all the way down. This way the front fagade would be all masonry. Paul
suggested using an old car siding (plain) looking 3/ inch vs. bead boarding. It has a v
groove center match and looks more substantial in nature. Motion was made by
Susan Scholz, seconded by Paul Denney to approve the COA for the sign, paint, and
alcove remodel; with the bead board being replaced with v groove. Motion carried 7-

this will increase the tax value in the area.

10. Progress update from the Manufactured Housing Subcommittee.
Lisa Wright reported to the Commission that the Subcommittee had met a
couple of weeks ago and decided that they wanted to draft an ordinance that
would treat manufactured housing subdivisions the same as other
,P OODU44
subdivisions, meaning that they wanted the subdivisions to look like a typical
neighborhood. She advised that she had done a great deal of research and
couldn't find an ordinance that addressed everything the Subcommittee had
requested, but she felt that she had found enough from various cities that one
could be pieced together and used as a foundation to make some revisions
to.
Richard Hunt asked if there would be any provisions for the use of these
homes in the event of a natural disaster, and Ms. Wright advised that the
Subcommittee plans to add provisions for the temporary use of these homes
in the event of fires, tornados, etc. She stated that the Subcommittee would
be meeting again in the next week or so.

Minutes
Minutes from June 17 and July 22 were reviewed by board members. Matthew Coyle made a
motion that the minutes be approved. Jennifer Long seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously.
Festival of Pumnkins
Brainstorming/Discussion
A discussion was held regarding the sale of alcohol at the festival. The board said they would
like to pursue the idea. Clifton Fendley and Matthew Coyle will begin researching the
possibility. It is the board's impression that a designated area would have to be established and
that alcohol could not be consumed throughout the festival grounds (downtown plaza).
Cindy Allcorn also suggested that we have coupons at the entrance. Coupons would be used for
all food vendors and activities. A percentage of the sales would then go to Main Street. In past
years there has only been a set fee for vendors no matter their sales. Wyatt Bowden asked if
Bethany thought the current vendors would be open to this new system. She felt that since there
is a limited amount of vendors and they do so well at this event they probably would be. Since
there is not enough time to have tickets for this year, a survey will be sent to vendors to see how
they would feel about the new system. Ticket sales could be a possibility for next year..
What are the citizens asking for out of this event? There has been a very small amount of
complaints from the public about the event, approx. 2 or 3 people have complained in 3 years
about the quality of vendors at the festival. Vendor quality is getting better each year. According
to our vendors this is one of the best organized events they attend. 60% of the vendors are repeat
vendors that are good quality and do well.
Activities - Actives include; Costume contest, pumpkin decorating, hay maze, pumpkin bowling,
fountain fishing, train rides, petting zoo, sports, pet walk, best bike, pet pageant, tractor and car
show and much more. Barry Diamond handles a lot of the actives for kids, such as hula-hoop
- 00(M46
contest, cake walk and more. He brings his own goodie bags and does a really good job keeping
kids entertained. We will use him again this year. Wyatt would like for us to consider using the
stage to present awards. Some of these smaller activities happen without any one really knowing
about them. Every 45 minutes have a 3 minute `award ceremony'. Additional activities suggested
included 3 on 3 basketball; dodge ball and a dunking booth.
Press - Newspaper is contacted in September. Paid advertising goes out 2 weeks ahead of the
event in the Paris News, and out on the radio the Sunday before. It was suggested that we look
into advertising in the Dollar Saver and the Thrifty Nickel.
Volunteers - In the past we have had 40 or so North Lamar students and Paris High students to
help. Last year Bethany met with them the night before at the Aikin building to give them a shirt
and let them know what they would be doing.
Decorations cost about $1000 -$1500. Some of the cost was recouped last year by charging
merchants for hay & mums. Clifton suggested that someone talk to the FFA about donating bales
of hay that could be dropped off and picked back up, in order to help with the cost.
Sponsors - Letters sent out in July. We have received $5700 so far. The average is $12000 -
$14000 each year in sponsorships & vendor fees.
Bethany needs help organizing children's activities & volunteers; putting together small goodie
bags; map out where vendors will go and where kids train will go (this has been problematic in
past years). Karol Lynn Moore & Jennifer Long volunteered to help with the map. Kari Daniel
will help with marketing. Matthew Coyle will help with goodie bags. Cindy Allcorn will help
with children's activities.
Manaeer's Report
Fly in Concessions - Concession items would be brought in and set up in the airport terminal.
Hamburgers and chips and whatever we think we could handle would be sold. Concessions
would be open for 4 hours. $5 for parking will go to the Grand Theatre project. The city
anticipates approximately 1000 people will be at the fly in though out the day. We will be doing
the parking and will do concessions if we can get enough volunteers.
