 RE:  Financial Report- Steve D.
 
Lengthy discussion on better clarification and to simplify the monthly submitted financial reports.
 
Much discussion on the city's newly required billing process on how to receive the monthly BID assessment funds. The process has been an arduous time consuming task on many people's part, including city staff, the BID CPA, Volunteer's and BID Staff.  Up until this time the process still has not had been clarified, however we have been assured the funds that are now 5 months passed due, will be arriving.  It was suggested that several Board members have an immediate meeting with the Economic Development Department Head.
No approval was made on the February's financial reports.

    'with some changes to the Sunday venue, the event would be successful both days next year.'  Suggestions on file
