V. NEW BUSINESS

Cullimore Cottage Ribbon Cutting

Amelunke emailed Grove Construction on when they thought we could do a ribbon cutting

but still waiting for a response. Houses are moving along and close to being finished.

Going to hold off until the end of the houses being built to do the ribbon cutting.

Sabra Mitchell arrived at 6:32pm

Lawn Care & Maintenance

Been looking through the ground leases and there are some discrepancies between

them. Older ground leases state that snow removal, mowing and landscaping expired on

March 31, 2019 while the newer ones stated that the CCLT could impose a mowing fee or

require the homeowners to be responsible for the snow removal, mowing and

landscaping. Not all of the lots that are supposed to be getting lawn care services per the

ground lease are getting those services. Will need to be decided on wither or not to

continue mowing services for those lots or if there needs to be an annual mowing fee for

everyone and all lots get mowed. Discussed possibly doing a grace period for this

mowing season and keep the snow removal. Discussed the biorientation area on N

Eighth St due to possible safety issues.

Rikki Ascani arrived at 6:37pm.

VI. OLD BUSINESS

External Marketing Materials

Ascani has the log in information for the CCLT website now. Staff still trying to figure out

who the Facebook page is associated with. Discussed creating a Facebook page for the

May fundraiser event along with Ragtag promoting the event. Want to reactivate the

PayPal account for the website but having issues currently being able to log in. Ascani

going to look over the website to update and make sure it functions properly. Discussed

creating a general CCLT business card to give out while attending/hosting events.

Motion to give Anthony Stanton the approval to purchase marketing materials for

conferences and meetings in the near future: Stanton
