  1. New Business

 

The Following is a report of the activities and action taken during the months of March and April 2007 by Paula S, and Jessie A after February 2007 Meeting. Increased speed and expedition was needed in many critical areas as much new information has been brought to light concerning Redevelopment, conditions of Blight, Eminent Domain, which will be gone over in May 2007 meeting, we had to move quickly and so are creating a combination agenda/minutes in one report for easier reading. It was decided in February 2007 that two public meetings and a series of fliers was adequate notice to the tenants of the intentions of the new proposed association, and that no further public meetings would be held until our first mixer where all business owners and associates could come and discuss informally their concerns or leave them in writing to the Association. Many productive action steps have been taken resulting from several small meetings of Paula S, Jessie A in March and April 2007 and have been incorporated into various plans of action which have been diligently executed for the welfare of the Business/property owners, customers of Commercial Center and the public at large within the Area.

 

  1. OPENING NEW OFFICE: Jessie & Paula Discuss the office space, name, business type, etc. Jessie researches and finds adequate space at New Orleans Square-providing new business development to the plaza for the first time as an association, with 3 separate offices within one unit, keeping in mind the importance of low overhead as to use membership due to provide more services rather than office space. Paula accepts space B-114 and fills out initial Lease and provides deposits of $1,600. Paula S. Secures 2 lines from Embarq 1.) Main Line 702-791-CENTER (2368), 2.) FAX: 702-791-2369.
  2. OFFICE DEVELOPMENT: Paula S & Jessie A. Open New Office officially April 1, 2007-Duriing this time a meeting was called as an open House several business Owners showed there support by attending, there was no formal discussion-focus to present new office and membership packages, prior to this set-up of office began, new carpet, and paint. Jessie A. Supplies Office with Furniture Receipt will be made as to Cost-As Director and Co-Founder Jessie A. is granted Honorary Membership Enrollment and Paid in Full for initial Term of Director position.  It will be decided in future meetings additional waivers of membership dues in lieu of receipts presented and start-up development time spent. Paula S. is exempt from formal Membership Dues for Full term of Position of President due to the significant amount of start-up development and time on project and actual investments made since August 2006. Estimated Hours as billable labor hours, and Investments made will be presented at further meetings and compensation will be given at such a time the Association is able to.
  3. DOCUMENT/LITERATURE CREATION: Paula S. researches and creates a series of documents needed to begin a membership drive and light benefits package and proposed benefits to come as membership grows. Paula presents a series of membership flyers, applications, dues options, business cards, made available at the New Office Location
  4. DBA & EIN (IRS): Paula S. researches and secures DBA and EIN # for Commercial Center Business Association. Upon Jessie A. Suggestion the name Small Business Development was dropped-was thought to be to limiting-and the idea is to be inclusive rather than exclusive and include executives locally and Worldwide.
  5. BUSINESS TYPE: It is decided that non-profit would be our best business type, as we will be providing a community service, as well as seeking donations from many larger corporations for our various community based projects. Paula to Research Errors & Omissions Insurance and present in ASAP, as well as Liability.
  6. DIRECTOR ELECTED: Jessie A. Receives Title of Director and Co-Founder due to his diligence and business expertise in past ventures of this nature, and his participation following the February 2007 meeting, staying hours later to further implement the proposed agenda at the time. He expressed interest to work more administratively, and promoting new memberships and sponsoring our monthly Meetings, now to be termed Monthly Business Socials Held at the BlackBelters Lion Club D-116
  7. FILING WITH SEC OF STATE: Jessie A. Researches and starts the Non-Profit first filing, Jessie A. absorbs cost of filing to present in future meetings, to assist the New Association Start-up Costs. Jessie presents Paula S. First Filing of Board of Directors, to be submitted within 30 Days with further follow-up.
  8. BOARD OF DIRECTORS SELECTION: Paula S. begins process of selecting first Board Of Directors-seeking out interested parties; those who seemed suitable of expressed desire, those having attended first meetings Jan & Feb were presented with first options. Initially
  9. FIRST BOARD OF DIRECTORS FILED WITH STATE: Allan K (prestige realty) was presented with Vice President, said he would like to take this position, Dr. Judy G. (property Shoppes) was presented with the options and expressed interest in the Treasurer position as this is her area of expertise. Julie N. (manager of Cue Club & Daughter of Owner) expressed interest in the Chairman or Other position) she later declined and it is assumed that she was fishing for information, to bring back to the Owners, as this business is currently on Probation/observation with the association and they have been indicated in many calls by Metro for problems within there premises or directly outside there establishment for various problems for several years ongoing. After some time Allan K accepts position officially and joins with His membership. Judy G. accepts with her membership and is excited about the developments. Judy requests key for office to bring in Computer to start the billing for members. Paula agrees this will be okay and assigns desk in back office. As members of the Executive Board they are advised the Only Commitment at this time is One Meeting, to vote and make decisions, and are encouraged to attend the mixers.
  10. FURNISHING OFFICE: Paula S. Provides various new office materials, coffee pot, fax machine, telephone, and sets up initial voice mail information message.
  11. FIRST LETTER OF REQUEST TO PUBLIC WORKS & MEETING WITH COMMUNITY LIASONS: Paula S. makes requests to County and requests Meeting at commercial Center to go over, 37 point letter. We requested a 14 days to respond and repair. Danny G and Russell D met with Paula on 4-10-2007 to walk the Shopping Center. All areas were gone over. It was stated that the county does not paint fire zones or do any painting of streets or roadways, safety white, yellow etc. Russell said he was not sure who does this. As of the end of April 2007 or by the 24th of April no action was seen to be taken, and if there was, no report was made to the association was made although it was requested.
  12. SALE OF PAVILION 16 MILLION IN MARCH: Ron M-of NAI Horizon Sells the Commercial Center Pavillion for Over 16 million dollars to Kaufman Properties of California. It was evident there was a lack of communication with the sale to the new owners, as within days the property begin to decline, and within one month, there were hundreds of broken bottles and liter in area of the pavilion several days per week, and the compactor overran into the public parking lot with rotting refuse and leaking alcohol bottles. NAI would not supply the association with the new owners information and so a total decline affected business and commerce at the plaza for over one month, causing a safety and health hazard. As well Ron M. in January expressed hostility to the Association and a total lack of Respect for the Community based organization by implying the President-Paula S. - was an insignificant stakeholder-small business owner, when he asked “how many square feet do you own” and then implying he did not speak with her In a December telephone Conversation when in Fact he did, and was hostile with her during a telephone conversation with her in January-when was the time he asked her to contact him, after the Holidays about joining forces with the then proposed association. It is a known fact that at this time in January 2007 the sell process was underway and at this time he had no concern for the welfare of the public or the tenants of The Commercial Center. In Conclusion Kaufman properties after several attempts to Contact them were put in our probation file along, with Las Palmas, El Triunfo, and The Cue Club for non-compliance with our new community standards. We have been collecting photos weekly, and reporting to the County of the situation asking their assistance.
  13. MEMBERSHIP GROWS: Since the inception of the Association officially March 1, 2007 with Paula S, and Jessie Aviado our membership is over 13 with several serving on our Board Of Advisors. Membership has been growing there is a healthy prospect of over 250 businesses at Commercial Center to grow, and an additional few hundred we will include onto our fold as we grow into the surrounding business within at least a one-mile Radius. We are working to get ten memberships per month until we reach our goal of 200 in 2008, and 400 by 2010.
  14. BOARD OF ADVISORS: Paula S. informed through email Sgt Stoll, Danny Giraldo, Russel Davis, Honorary Membership to our Board of Advisors to be presented May 28, 2007 at Mixer with special honors for serving as an advisor since January 2007. Other Honorary Members are Chet Baker for Security and Property Supervisor. Christina Diedorado Attorney at Law, as general council, Ken (Engineer) as Engineering Consultant. BrownStone Security as Security. Signs Now as Advertisement Design. Joan Dupree as Volunteer Coordinator.
  15. HIRING OF SECURITY: The Association has acquired private security the first time in 47 years that it is known that actual security patrol and on foot are securing the property. After several requests to Clark County and Metro, we have received assistance in removing all abandoned vehicles, and the trespassing of many vagrants. The needs of Commercial Center has changed over the years, and the current trend of Urban Development with several 24 hour bar and lounges require actual security, this is evident wherever liquor is served by several establishments within a confined area such as a shopping center. The County Reports in there Blight Study 2003 of the numerous calls of to Metro which are typical valley wide where liquor is served that the Commercial Center is a burden to Taxpayers and the community, but they failed to mention there lack of responsibility and it is there cost to supply cleaning, and secure the area via Metro or private security, they never mention they have never tried to or made an attempt to provide this as a solution
    • Chet Baker hired as Independent Security in April 2007 Fri-Sat Night 10p-12a for $25 per Shift, and is including additional security as courtesy until association builds more membership
    • Chet has requested additional Security to be Hired as crowds of 500-1000 are gathering on Saturday Night. We are researching with Brownstone for a quote
  16. VOLUNTEERS: Volunteers Joan & Buddy met with Paula S March & April and Graffiti was covered up on dumpsters, Hockey Club Wall, Property Shoppes Wall, State and Market Street, a thorough inspection was done of the property with Photos looking clean, most graffiti was years old. County was requested last summer to help with this through access Clark County Graffiti Abatement, only partial action was taken, and much graffiti still left. Joan will be given special award for volunteering. Danny G and Russell D. informed Paula S in meeting that County Does not Paint Curbs, and we must do this ourselves. Volunteers painted entrance medians fresh Red, 2 cans of Paint Oil Based $50, on Sunday April 30, 2007.
  17. PAINTING CURBS AND PARKING LOT STRIPING: some paint has been purchased. Needs Light poles and light pole Base, Chet B will perform repair patch then paint freshly, it has been decided that the County is Moving too slowly and for our New Image we must act quickly to paint all light pole bases, and curbs by Mid June, when new ads are scheduled to go out to public.
  18. NEW PUBLIC IMAGE & WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT: New Shopping Center name decided at Last Meeting in February 2007, Paula S and Jessie Discussed at Length, and due to New Yellow Page Book Closing New Name had to be decided immediately for placement. The District At Commercial Center has been Chosen, we have selected this name to preserve our Historic Standing Commercial Center is World Famous and we want to preserve the quality of the past and disregard all public image that is not useful to us now, this name was furthermore chosen as to create a New Positive Public Image, as there are many different districts worldwide and we even see these now developing in the Las Vegas Area, and The word “THE” seems powerful as an image tool, creating a lasting image in the public mind, a place of importance. Paula S secures DBA for yellow page, several domain name variations and the Services of the WebsiteCenter.com who office was previously in Commercial Center, Owner Eric is happy to work with us and wants the Center to Do well, he used to Visit the center while on Vacation as child many years ago, and has fond memories.

Also can print banners at half what we currently pay. We want to utilize local providers within the Center whenever possible. Paula S and Jessie A have been working extensively promoting the CCBA, and its membership as vital, the action steps needed before advertising as a shopping center can be begun, is to clean up all graffiti, volunteers have removed almost 100% graffiti from entire center in past 3 months. Chet B. Porter keeps litter to a minimum, and new shopping center security is controlling littering, loitering, and open container drinking, we will soon move forward with beautification efforts.
  20. NETWORKING: Commercial Center Monthly Business Mixer Started April 23, 2007, open to all Business Owners, and One invited Guest of them, purpose of Mixer is to 1.) Network business owners; get to know each other, 2.) Provide a public forum to disseminate association literature and activities, 3.) Grow membership, 4.)

Paula S made comments that the Commercial Center Business Association represents over 200 Business Owners and Interests and that we are building Business Community and a New Unified Image for our Historic Shopping Center.

 

CLOSING:

 

Much progress has been made in the Months Of March & April 2007. Many new developments are under way, the General Consensus of many Business Owners and Resident who frequent the shopping center, state they are very happy to see something good happening here, a diversification of businesses, and services available. Many people talk of a time when all would come to the plaza that it was the place to shop and dine many years ago, and then so many businesses moved away, not because the area was no longer viable or of interest, many began to favor Casino/Hotel locations and New Indoor Malls popping up in the 80’s and 90’s. Now with Urban Development so prominent there is a need to preserve many Original Business Districts in Las Vegas and nationally as a historic preservation and for posterity, as well to Honor those that came before to Build great places like The Commercial Center, True Originals, Open Air Centers are now in great demand and favored by many in Urban Areas as ours we can see this in the development of “The District At Green Valley Ranch”,  “The Charleston Outlets”, and others like this.

 

In Our Research Of the Shopping Center/Mall market we have found articles to support this trend in “Open Air Centers”

1. http://www.slate.com/id/2116246/ In an Article by Andrew Blum “The Mall goes Undercover”; it now looks like a city street. It talks about the enormous success of these “lifestyle Centers” really which are open air malls like Commercial Center with a Variety of Business offerings, and that there are over 130 of these scattered around the Country this article is from 2005, and stated that 17 more were opening that year, by now there is probably over 200 centers like these. Indoor Malls have been changing there appearance to be more like the Commercial Center which was revolutionary for its time, and that people are returning to the Urban Areas and want that feeling That Shopping in City can provide with plenty of fresh air and curbside parking. Over the past Months we have managed the Shopping Center better than ever before in the past, this is reflected in comments by Customers saying things like, “There is something different Here”, its much better than it has been in Years, Its much cleaner, and they like the mix of businesses here, with only a few 24 Lounge/Bar and Adult Novelty Stores, it has a true Las Vegas Mix that fits well into this Part of Las Vegas and The Strip Area. People want to see it around for the long haul, some residents at Country Club say they like the convenience and have been using the Center for Years and there are so many unique offerings here, when they want Big Corporate Stores they travel to Fashion Show, or Northwest or Green Valley, or Even the Boulevard. But its nice to have economic diversity and a mix of small business owners who the public can relate to as very friendly and providing service in a way that only small businesses can offer, a sense of Family and Community and Friendliness is apparent in the Day to Day Business of “The District At Commercial Center”

Report By Lisa C. Redevelopment

  • Lisa C states that all property owners will have to sign off on any new signage etc., also that three dumpsters are maintained by Clark County and she feels is a waste of taxpayers money, being the benefit is going to the business owners, she suggests that the property owners become more involved and have these taken over and paid for by the property owners.
  • Paula S thinks it’s a good thing the county has dumpsters here, it is owned by them and should be maintained by them, until such a time that the parking lot would be sold to a private company. And furthermore sidewalk trash -cans should be installed and a county worker/cleaner on foot services the areas that street sweepers cannot get to, as is done on other county property. Paula questions where is there county property that is maintained to the highest standards and that we should receive the same care, and why have we not to this time?

Lisa K- States at the time it seemed like a good idea the way the sale was setup to be owned and maintained by the county, for the good of the public, but there are not many places like this, and it does not seem to work today, and situations like this the parking lot is usually privately owned and maintained in a shopping center.

Further Questions posed by group in January Agenda

 

10. We can develop a better relationship with the county by getting organized and having meetings like this

 

11. The relationship with the County in the past has been difficult there has been no one main voice or group to represent the owners and tenants causing rifts in the relationship

 

12. Danny G- is excited for us and hopes we can do well and hopes we achieve our goals, we are told to be patient.

 

13. Lisa K- Only concerned with who is responsible for new installs and that property owners will have to sign off on these, (even though the property owners have been a problem in the past, and they will not most likely being paying for any of this, unless they join the association

  • Paula S. –express concern that this is ridiculous to need the property owners to sign off when they have let the area go into dilapidation and to get any of them to do much of anything to improve there property takes far longer than appropriate, and they are not even organized together to work together and seem to have a lack of concern.
  • It is noted only two property owners showed up, Clark County, and Alan K (commercial Arts Building). Property Managers and owners seem to have little interest, and have for years been unable to agree to come to any conclusion for the benefit of this business community and the public. So now it is time the business owners who without them there would be no commercial center banned together and take positive action, and we need the help of Clark County in Full to let us move forward with simple directories, aluminum signage, etc with of course special use permits, etc…And that we do not need all owners to sign off on this, just like if the NBA 2007 director wanted to place banners for the game in our center like on paradise and throughout the city the County would say Yes they are making a fee form the permit, and as well they would not have to contact all the property owners to do so, especially for many community events, because nothing would ever get approved or done.  Paula s.

 

  • Group has requested we must have street cleaning Fri and Sat morning Early after a busy weekend and throughout the week

 

  • Need more light brighter watt bulbs and additional light to be added to single light poles, public works to be given formal request

 

  • Alan K- says he will talk with other property owners to organize them.
