No opening remarks.

Kevin was going to write a press release/public letter.
Minutes from 6/13 were approved.
City Update: 5th Ave. Cleaners requested an adjustment to the sq. /ft. of their business
and it was granted. The City received a letter from another counselor asking for reduction
based on only using office space part time. We need to provide clarification of multiple
businesses within a single space.
MaryKay brought up the situation of 2 or 3 businesses with separate business licenses
occupying the same office space, i.e. Ring Management.
Action Item: MaryKay will check with Stephen to see what their business license states.
A committee needs to be formed to handle determining business size, multiple businesses
in same space and sub -leased space.
This will be addressed further under committee assignments.
Report on City Council Meeting: Paul and David were congratulated on their
presentation. The workplan was approved. Bylaws were not. The board decided to accept
the minor changes to the bylaws as proposed by councilman Bloom. Council member
Bloom also brought up a revision she would like regarding changing the makeup of the
board. She would like the board to be represented by the majority of total businesses
holding more seats instead of the current structure based on percentage of assessments
paid holding more seats. After weighing all of the options the board voted unanimously
to accept the bylaws as written. Absent from vote were: Kevin, Pam and Cadence.
We will be resubmitting the bylaws to the City Council at the next opportunity.
Collection Report: We looked at the businesses that have not paid their assessments and
decided who would contact them.
