APPROVAL OF THE MARCH MINUTES: Motion: Commissioner Loveless made a motion that the Minutes be approved. Second: Commissioner Young seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. TREASURER'S REPORT: Expense Report: Commissioner Loveless stated that there were no changes to the expenses. COMMITTEE REPORTS: UPDATES: Community Pro'ects I-630 Trees: Commissioner Loveless stated that he had acquired a phone number for a contact at the Highway Department to discuss the cleanup of the I-630 area. He further stated that he is trying to set up a meeting in the near future. Commissioner Peak inquired if it had been determined if a portion of the golf course was located on the Highway Department's property, approximately forty (40) feet. Commissioner Loveless stated that this was correct but he believes city may have been given the right for the use of this properly. City Attorney Carpenter stated that she is unsure if this area is an easement but suggested the Highway Departments approval be sought before any clearing begins. City Staff Member Carney speculated that the Highway Department was granted control of this area due to the golf course being in existence prior to the construction of the highway and stated it is possible that an agreement was met before the construction of the highway. Chairman Minor inquired of any updates on the Markham T.R.E.E Fund project. City Staff Member Carney stated that this has been rebid. City Attorney Carpenter added that the bid opening was to be held May 2, 2014 at 3 pm. City Hall South Yard: Commissioner Homeyer stated that he did not have an update at this time but would be able to provide new information at the next meeting. Public Relations Website: Commissioner Warren stated that the Agenda, Minutes, and the revised Retreat Minutes have been placed on the website. In addition, the contact list has been updated and now includes new Commissioner McCulley. The Landscape Awards are now shown as being open as of May 1 and the nomination form has been updated. Commissioner Warren explained that the provider of the website statistical information was purchased by Google and discontinued. As a result, website traffic information has been unavailable since February. Commissioner Warren was provided with information about a new and possible replacement service "Google Analytics" that would provide statistical data for a one- time fee of $150.00. Motion: Commissioner Loveless made a motion that $150.00 be approved for the purchase of Google Analytics. Second: Commissioner Morgan seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Social Media: Commissioner Morgan stated that he had learned that Ben Thielemier with the City of Little Rock Public Relations had resigned from his position. He further stated that he is now unsure of who he should direct any social media questions. City Staff Member Carney suggested that the City of Little Rock Public Relations Manager, Meg Matthews be contacted. Commissioner Morgan asked for further guidance from the commissioners on how to proceed. He also stated that he felt maybe the best option would be for the CBC to forward information to the city public relations department and have them post it on behalf of the CBC. Chairman Minor concurred and it was discussed what would be the content of the post and how often they would be made. Chairman Minor stated he had forwarded the information that he had gathered on advertising rates for Soiree Magazine via email and opened the topic up for discussion. The question of the voting on CBC business via emailed was approached. City Attorney Carpenter was given the floor and explained the CBC meeting procedures and emphasized that the commissioners not discuss official business via email due to a possible violation of the Freedom of Information Act. It was further explained that general information can be exchanged by email but anything that requires discussion would need to be added to the agenda for the next meeting. City Attorney Carpenter further discussed the CBC funding sources and the commission's two accounts. One being the account with the city and the allotment of $2,500.00 and the CBC separate account. It was stated that it is acceptable to maintain separate accounts but since the CBC is subject to fiscal procedures of the city that the separate account needs to be in the cities name and accounted for on the cities books. Attorney Carpenter further directed the commission to coordinate with Treasury Analyst Scott Massanelli 371-4532 and Accountant Nancy Warfield 371- 6834. Mr. Massanelli will coordinate the account signature authority (two signatures) and Ms. Warfield will be able coordinate the monthly reconciliation. Commissioner Morgan returned the discussion back to Soiree Magazine. The commissioners discussed if an advertisement in this publication would reach the appropriate audience and accomplish the desired publicity for the Landscape Awards. Other publications including Arkansas Business, and The Daily Record were discussed as potential outlets to reach a public more closely connected to the commercial community. KLRB: Commissioner Loveless stated that he had been out of town during the Sustainability Summit / Earth Day. Commissioner Warren stated that she had attended an event at the Clinton Library and gave brief summary. Commissioner Loveless reported that he had spoken with Tim Heiple who had communicated that the Earth Day event held on E. Markham had been a success. Commissioner Loveless also stated that Mr. Bob Callans had sent an email concerning the Vision Design Competition 2014 sponsored by KLRB, Studio Main, and City of Little which is focusing on the Otter Creek area. Mr. Callans email stated that the scope of the project has been expanded to include all of the areas from I-430 to I-30. As a result the Otter Creek Home Owners and Business Association has delayed any sculpture or median development until the design competition is completed and has produced a winner. Commissioner Loveless stated he has tried to contact Mr. Callans by phone to obtain more information but hasn't been able to reach him. Commissioner Loveless also stated that there had been a Fourche Creek cleanup on Earth Day. In addition Commissioner Loveless mentioned that an ordinance has been passed that requires landlords with one hundred (100) units or more to provide recycling for their tenants. He also stated a new service called `Bellboy Waste" has been started that will collect recycling from rental units and suggested that this could provide a recycling service for complex's with less than one hundred (100) units. Commissioner Loveless stated he would try to obtain more information about this service. Adapt -A -Street: Chairman. Minor inquired who would be available for the May 3, 2014 cleanup. After discussion the cleanup was moved to May 10, 2014 at 8:30 am. Providing a "full cleanup" in the future was also discussed. This would possibly include trimming and raking the weeds adjacent to the vacant lot located at Kanis and Bowman. Eye of the Beholder: Commissioner Young stated a nomination been made by Commissioner Homeyer, and one from Commissioner Young for 1901 S. Broadway. In addition Commissioner Young stated she has been in contact with the City of Little Rock Sustainability Officer Melinda Glasow and has acquired the Little Rock Recycles logo which is to be placed on the Eye of the Beholder recipient cards. Landscape Awards: Commissioners Homeyer stated that the nominations are now open and everything is in place. He also asked that social media be informed. T.R.E.E Fund: Commissioner Warren inquired if the spread sheet and corresponding maps that were delivered to the commissioners at the last meeting detailing the T.R.E.E Fund areas and the monetary allocations could be delivered digitally. NEW BUSUINESS: Chairman Minor calls for an approval of the CBC 2012 Retreat Minutes Motion: Commissioner Warren made a motion that CBC 2012 Retreat Minutes be approved.
