CID is a taxing model that allows pulling from more revenue streams. A 1% tax, the goal of the
funding is to improve the community. It is anticipated to be in place by Fall 2014. 2 years ago hired
Anne McCullough to work full time to work on this CID.
Also starting a non-profit that can take donations and work events such as Cinco de Mayo.
How is staff member paid? Paid with old revenue stream, hope to pay with new revenue stream

Markets are successful because they have a low entry point for a small business to get started.
They can work as brick and mortar incubators. Other markets lack space to expand and/or they are
also located on public property. There is more opportunity at Lemp for space and it is privately
owned. At Lemp we could have 100 vendors every Sat. and Sunday 6 months a year. It also has
parking. In the beginning it would occur every other weekend, with 50 vendors to start,
5 types of vendors: merchants, food, special services and non-profits, kid entrepreneurial center,
resale. There were also be live music. Hope to start mid to late June. Centered at building 19. $35 a
day or $50 a weekend. Majority of profits first year will go into marketing.
