Public Comments:
Why isn't water or mountains in the logo. Fresh, enticing.
Does it promote Edmonds or the BID? Love the illustrations.
Likes modern feel. Do we have a mission statement? Are we duplicating DEMA?
Are we working on brand with the City, Edcc or anyone else?
Why are we creating a 501c3 when DEMA has one?
What are we going to spend on in the future? How much to maintain website?
The BID is a member driven organization. The members get to decide what to spend the
money on. Feedback and comments are encouraged.
We are nota substitute for the City, we are an additive.
Next meeting 5/8/2014 in HDR conference room at Sam.
