       III.      REPORTS FROM MEMBERS

A.   Treasurer's Report: 
        The Treasurer gave a report of the deposits, 
money market and certificates of deposit.
B.   2007 Festival:                             
                               The August 19th festival started well with a good turnout 
                            of artists and visitors and good music despite the faults experienced with the advertising. Unfortunately the rain 
in the afternoon sent most of the artists and nearly all the visitors away. 
Our expected income was diminished as a result. The fixed costs 
for the festival are so high it doesn't seem feasible to continue 
the annual event. Promoting the six 3rd Friday events will be 
looked at for an alternative to the annual festival.

C.    Website:                      
Box of Chalk, Mark Valentine's company, 
is designing and hosting our new website, 39thstreetwest.org. 
It will be more user friendly and can be posted 
to directly by the administrator.
D.   Lighting Project:                          
The survey of the area for the project is underway and 
that will be used to complete the final plan for submission to the city. 
At this time we expect by Spring 2008 the actual lighting 
installation should begin.
E.    Security:                                      
Nothing negative heard. All positive response to date.

IV.      NEW BUSINESS                          
A.    General Meeting:                         
There will be a board meeting at 1:30 p.m. on October 18th 
at the Center for Spiritual Living and following that at 2:30 p.m
. there will be a general meeting for all 39th Street people who want 
to attend. A newsletter will be sent out at the end of September 
announcing the meeting and inviting all to attend who wants 
to learn what the CID is doing.
B.    Tree Wells:                                        
The contractor hired to install concrete tree wells 
on 39th Street failed to complete the job after putting wells around 
trees on only the 1800 block. It has been decided we should hire a 
crew to complete the project on the existing wells which will include 
removing the weeds, installing weed barrier and filling the wells 
with an appropriate decorative material.
C.  Street Cleaning: 
The September newsletter will contain a suggestion 
that storeowners take steps to clean the weeds from the fronts
 of their buildings and sweep debris. Our cleaning crew picks up 
large debris and removes graffiti but no sweeping or weeding is 
included in the agreement.

V.      NEXT MEETING                         
The next Board Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 18, 2007  
at 1:30 p.m. at The Center for Spiritual Living at 1306 W 39th Street , 
Kansas City , MO. A General Meeting open to the public will begin 
there at 2:30 p.m.

   VI.      MEETING ADJOURNED
