IV. ACTION ITEM: REVIEW OF FINANCES
The BID ended last month with $39,464 in your account. You have received the $35,000 in settlement
money for the Lakeshore Drive construction project and $23,276 in special assessments. You have paid for
the first year of three for snow removal and some advertising costs. I do not have an answer on your request
for a city share of the snow removal costs.
The remainder of the agenda is for discussion purposes -- review of the winter sidewalk snow removal
services, summer landscaping, summer events and Christmas decorations. A board member wanted a
decision on the disposition of the basketball hoops purchased last summer.
Motion by L. Hopson, second by A. Chambers to acknowledge the status of the finances currently.
Vote: 7 yays, 0 nays, 0 abstentions
MOTION PASSES
V. DISCUSSION ITEM: REVIEW OF SNOW REMOVAL SERVICES
First year, everything worked well, we will explore for years two and three.
VI. DISCUSSION ITEM: SUMMER LANDSCAPING RECAP
We decided that we would use the volunteer services of Mark F. and we will reimburse
materials.
VII. DISCUSSION ITEM: 2022 LAKESIDE SUMMER EVENTS
No events are planned maybe Fall Harvest should be close to 10/18/2022 anniversary event, and the two
events could be coordinated.
VIII. ACTION ITEM: BASKETBALL HOOPS
The possibility of moving the hoops to McGraft was discussed. R. Jenkin's vision was to get people into
Lakeshore Drive to see what's there. The last few attempts by the Lakehawks didn't work. Both the
Lakehawks and the Lakeside BID had investments into the rims. There are 6 basketball rims.
A motion was made by L. Hopson, seconded by A. Serio, to have the Lakehawks reimburse the Lakeside
BID for basketball rims in the future.
Roll Call Vote
L. Hopson: Yes M. Flermoen: Yes A. Serio: Yes K. Fearnley: Yes
A. Chambers: Yes M. Lyonnais: Yes R. Jenkins: Obstain
MOTION PASSES
IX. ACTION ITEM: CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
Christmas decorations for the 2022 season were discussed. The board agreed that bling was needed, the
pro's and con's of owning vs. renting decorations was talked about, as well as if the City could match the
funds spent towards the decorations. The possibility of using the NAM Grants that the City offers was
discussed too.
A motion was made by L. Hopson, seconded by R. Jenkins, to direct staff to see what $15,000 ($5k/$5k/$5k
= BID/City/Businesses) will do for Christmas Decorations from Wasserman's to McCracken.

Re: Comments on the agenda for 9-21-22
Date: Sept. 15, 2022
There are no specific needs for action item requests from city staff on your
Wednesday morning agenda. You will meet at 9 a.m. Wednesday Sept. 21 in
Room 204 of City Hall.
As for your financial position, you are in a good position with $45,790 cash in the
bank. You will spend $26,880 this winter season on the second year of your three-
year sidewalk snow removal contract.
I will try to get the city to consider paying $3,800 annually for its share of city
owned sidewalks in the Lakeside snow removal service area. You also can expect
at least $2,500 from the first year of the Corridor Improvement District, maybe
more. In 2023, that could go up to $5,000 for year two. I will have a specific year
one CIA number at the Wednesday meeting. The Lakehawks owe the BID $2,000
for the basketball rims.
With conservatively $19,000 in fund reserves, you have some decisions to make
on future expenditures. Your special assessment should continue to cover the
snow removal contract the next two winters.
Staff does not have any recommendations on how to use BID funds to improve
the Lakeside commercial district but would suggest spending would make the
most sense in the areas of marketing, events and seasonal decorations. The
meeting's agenda gives the board opportunity to find consensus on future
expenditures.
