III. ACTION ITEM: REVIEW OF FINANCES
The financial statements show that you have $46,205.63 in your account at the end of October. My estimate
is that you will start next calendar year with approximately $15,000 remaining in your account entering the
third year of the three year BID special assessments. That includes paying for all of this winter’s snow
removal, an estimate of your contribution to the holiday tree lights, support of Lakeside holiday event and
Visitors Guide for next year. Not included is a payment from the Lake Hawks for the basketball hoops and
$4,473 you are banking in the CIA account.
Motion by L. Hopson, second by K. Fearnley to acknowledge the status of the finances currently.

IV. ACTION ITEM: FUNDING DECISION ON CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS 2022
Information from the Oct. 27 special meeting was presented in the meeting packet. There was not a quorum
but those present directed Dave Alexander to work a deal with Preferred Lawn Care for a scaled back tree
wraps for this holiday season on Lakeshore Drive. Work on the 30 trees had to be ordered and started for the
lights to be up by Thanksgiving week. The contract includes lights, installation, removal and storage for this
season. The lights are the BIDs and can be reinstalled next season at a reduced overall cost.
In the meeting packet a signed agreement was presented to the board with Preferred for a total price of
$6,593.61, of which a down payment of $3,296.81 was paid from Lakeside BID funds. The final half
payment will be due before the end of the year. The BID now has to determine how much of the total it will
support in collaboration with the Lakeside District Association and the Lakeside Neighborhood Association.
Motion by R. Jenkins, seconded by L. Hopson, to authorize the Lakeside BID to support the contract with
Preferred Lawn Care for $2,000 in conjunction with funding from the LDA and the Lakeside Neighborhood
Association.

V. ACTION ITEM: LAKESIDE BID ANNUAL BUDGET AND WORK PLAN
2023 will be the third and last year for the Lakeside BID special assessment. Lakeside BID should go into
the year with approximately $15,000 and receive approximately $24,944 of special assessment revenues
from 2023. The Lake Hawk owe the BID about $2,000 for basketball hoops. The groups biggest expense
will be the last contract for sidewalk snow removal with Berry Ghezzi for $26,880 for winter 2023-24. That

VI. ACTION ITEM: LAKESIDE CIA ANNUAL BUDGET AND WORK PLAN
This is the first year that the tax increment authority has generated revenues. The estimate from the city
treasurer is that next calendar year the Lakeside BID will have $7,473. The CIA board’s desire has been to
hold those funds as bridge funding when the BID goes away. The main costs for the CIA going forward
would be for sidewalk snow removal.

by staff:
