Treasurer's Report. This report is for the end of April 2025. Ralph made a motion to accept the
treasurer’s report, seconded by Dan, the motion passed. Ralph had questions about the Draft, but bills
are still coming in.
New Regular Business
Summer Market starts on June 5th. HJ Martin will allow us to use the old Shopko space again. Alea said
we are still looking for sponsors. We have 50-60 vendors, some daily and some for the whole season.
Safety Plan and Office of Violence Prevention OVP will be hosting activities with a focus on Western
Avenue. June 9th – 13th. A series of initiatives in the parking lot by HJ Martin. (Neighbor party, business
walk, etc.)
This area is the focus due to Green Bay’s low crime levels, but this area has seen the majority. One
thing we can do as a prevention method is promoting cameras in the area with a focus on covering the
whole district. Image retention and rules could be established to participate in our efforts. Gary will
help to investigate how this could be done. Leah will share information with the area businesses.
Unfinished Business/Open Items:
Capital Campaign Discussion with Lisa Vanden Avond
Lisa talked about the neighborhood meeting success. People seem very interested in an indoor
Pickleball possibility and use by wheelchair players. A new brochure was passed around. Proposed
contracts are getting closer, and Leah will share them with an attorney to review. The Park Department
meeting tonight will answer more questions and get us one step closer to preliminary approvals.
Planter Boxes Will (Wild Inspired Landscaping) and Kaurie (City of GB) put in perennial plants for the
Draft and we plan to add annuals for the summer. It is too early to plant currently. Schroders may be
our best option for planting and watering all summer.
NFL Draft Recap It was very slow for the large number of people that attended the event. This was seen
all over Military Avenue and other areas of the city. Parking lots and street parking were easily
accessible and some went unused. Our food trucks that stayed open after the Draft were the most
successful. The event was overhyped to the point that people stayed away from their regular activities
around town. The NFL added Brad Pasiley one week earlier and it overlapped the big downtown
concerts. It was a difficult event to plan with such late details.
City Representative Report, Rebecca Finko: Energy efficiency.
Executive Director Update: no additional comments.
Adjourn Meeting. Ralph made a motion to adjourn BID, seconded by Dan, the motion passed. Bethe
made a motion to adjourn MABA meeting, seconded by Jordan, motion passed.
