Other items

Jim also mentioned about sending a letter out regarding the cleaning of the street signs and poles in the neighborhood.

Bryan would like for our business group to have a business & community meeting in mid January. Maybe have a cocktail after hours get together to discuss business issues in the area. Some of his ideas were to have a one page survey on their 3 top issues, find out who owns what property and who rents space, type of business, perhaps put together a tax seminar or discuss building improvements.

Bryan also mentioned that the HACC site has an area for Business Blogs.
