RE: Old Business
- Chili At The Beach-Susie reported the event is going
according to plan and the Ambassadors all have their assigned
tasks, however, the raffle cannot take place this year as it has
to be state approved, so an alternative plan is being discussed
in committee.
- Surf City Nights-Susie reported on her and Connie's
meeting with Stephen Bradford the events entertainment
coordinator went well. She said Stephen understood the financial
weekly commitment has put a hardship on the BID budget and would
be willing to help come up with an alternative plan. One of
which is to have an alternate/assistant at a lesser cost, and he
coordinate off site, also at a lesser cost.
Stephanie suggested the BID conduct another survey to get the
opinion of the BID members on whether or not SCN should continue
year round. After much discussion about past surveys that have
already been conducted, it was decided that another one was not
needed at this point in time. A brief discussion on why the city is
a Co-Applicant on the newly approved five year SCN permit.

approve by Ron, 2nd Tony.

ordinance downtown, that was suggested by two city council
members per Ron. Ron presented a memo he sent out to the

resolved with ashtrays near the restaurants and or sweeping a
couple of times during the night and at closing time.' He let
the restaurants know it looks very bad to our locals who take
early morning walks on Main Street. Ron's memo on file. Connie
to put the same request in the June N/L.
