Chair Jean -Baptiste called the EDC Meeting to order at approximately 7:35 P.M. (Copies of the West Evanston TIF District # 6 Joint review Board Meeting Minutes of November 8, 2007 and EVMARK FY2009 Budget overview were distributed to the EDC members.) II. The EDC Meeting Minutes of September 26, 2007 were unanimously approved. III. REVIEW OF EVMARK BUDGET & CONSIDERATION OF EVMARK REQUEST FOR FUNDING. Chair Jean -Baptiste announced that the first agenda item concerned the EVMARK budget review and Diane Williams, Executive Director of EVMARK, was asked to proceed. With the aid of a power point slide presentation (hard copies had previously been • distributed) Ms. Williams first provided the EDC with an update on the revised EVMARK organization. DRAFT -NOT APPRO VED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE • MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14.2007 Page 2 The EVMARK by-laws and the board nomination procedures were revised on October 23, 2007. The first public meeting is scheduled for November 15., 2007 and notification of the meeting .was posted on EVMARK and City websites and by email to downtown residents. Starting in October 2007, approved Board Meeting minutes are posted on the EVMARK website. Drafts of the EVMARK budget were submitted to the City on September 14, 2007 and the process of establishing EVMARK as a full-time organization is proceeding. Two downtown residents and one "at -large" representative will be added to the EVMARK Board at the February 2008.Issues remaining include codifying the annual budget process and the expected Executive Director personnel change in 2008 (.Ms. Williams plans to resignfrom the position by next summer). Ms. Williams advised the EDC that the EVMARK funding request from the City (authorized in the approved City Ordinance 67-0-07) is now only for $30,00.0 rather than the $104,500 originally thought to be needed to bridge the funding gap. Ms. William explained that with the Special service Assessment Tax in the amount of $445,000; annual funding in the amount of $20,000 from Northwestern University; funding in the . amount of $30,000 from the City; reimbursements from three additional sources which include rising equalized assessed valuations and interest income from EVMARK's • money market account should ultimately eliminate the need for future City funding. Ms.Williams then informed the EDC as to how the funds will be allocated in the budget and asked for questions. Member Juliar asked if Ms. Williams knew the identity of the nominated downtown resident Board members, which she did not. Ms. Williams was asUcl %.\ by she planned on leaving the position in which she replied that she will be pursuing her other job full time. ACTION TAKEN: There being no other questions, Ald. Jean -Baptiste asked for an appropriate motion. Ald. Moran moved for the EDC to recommend approval to the City Council to authorize funding EVMARK in the amount of $30,000 for the FY2009. The motion was seconded by Ald. Wynne and the measure received a unanimous approval vote. IV. REVIEW OF THE JOINT REVIEW BOARD MEETING OF NOV. 8, 2007 AND CONSIDERATION OF THE JRB RECOMMENDATION TO EXTEND THE BOARDERS OF THE WEST EVANSTON TIF DISTRICT, Ald. Jean -Baptiste asked staff member Marino to proceed with informing the • EDC of the West Evanston TIF District # 6 Joint Review Board Meeting which was held on November 8, 2007. DRAFT -NOT -APPROVED • ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 20.07 . Pate 3 Minutes of the November 8, 2007 JRB Meeting were distributed during the EDC Meeting. Referencing these minutes, staff member Marino provided a brief update of the session and explained how the proposed boundary extensions will enhance development opportunities. The JRB voted unanimously to recommend approval for the City Council to amend the West Evanston TIF District to extend the boundaries as recommended by City staff and the Kane/McKenna consultants. Both School Districts 65 and 202 JRB members expressed their complete support for the amendment. Staff member Marino added that the next step in.the process is to host a Public Hearing which is scheduled for December 10; 2007 at the Civic Center. It is anticipated that the City Council will consider the . recommendation sometime in January 2008. One Council Meeting will be needed for introduction and another for consideration. Ald. Moran asked what percentage of the entire West Evanston TIF District area would the proposed boundary extensions constitute. Staff member Marino stated that his best guess would be between 15-20% if that much. • ACTION TAKEN: There being no further questions, Ald. Jean -Baptiste asked for a motion. Ald. Moran moved to recommend approval to the City Council to amend the West Evanston TIF District # 6 to expand its boundaries as recommended by staff, the consultant and the Joint review board. Ald. Wynne provided a second and the measure was passed with a unanimous vote. V. DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS UPDATE Proceeding with agenda items, Chair Jean -Baptiste asked staff member Marino to report on the status of the various development projects occurring in the City. Staff member Marino provided brief updates on various projects throughout the City which included a proposal for the Bishop Freeman site; developments on Prairie Avenue; the Central Street Movie condominium project; the Kendall College site which is now on the market; the Downtown Project Plan and the Klutznick downtown tower proposed project. The EDC was informed that the Klutznick development team was appearing before the Plan Commission and a packed audience at the same time as the EDC was meeting. Staff member Marino indicated that the developers had refined their project and was presenting the public benefit "give back" resulting from the proposed project. VI. OTHER BUSINESS • There was no other business for consideration. DRAFT -NOT APPROVED • ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING of November 14, 2007 PAGE 4 VI. COMMUNICATIONS The articles and data reports contained in the EDC packets were acknowledged by Chair Jean -Baptiste. Staff member Morris Robinson advised the EDC that the "EDC Meeting Dates for 2008 erroneously reflected the year 2007 at the column head but the dates were correct. ACTION TAKEN: Ald. Jean -Baptiste asked for a motion to accept the 2008 meeting dates as amended. Ald. Wynne moved approval and Ald. Tisdahl provided a second to the motion.. The motion was approved with a unanimous vote. VIII. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Chair Jean -Baptiste adjourned the meeting at approximately 8:35 P.M. The next scheduled Economic Development Committee Meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 19, 2007 at 7:30 P.M. at the Civic Center in Room 2404. • submitted, E. lanner To: Julia Carroll, City of Evanston Judy Aiello, City of Evanston Matt Grady, City of Evanston Dennis Marino, City of Evanston Economic Development Committee (EDC), Evanston City Council From: Diane Williams, Evmark Re: FY2009 Proposed Budget Date: November 3, 2007 Attached is Evmark's first budget submission including funding from the recently extended and expanded Special Service Area #4 (SSA)-. This budget document was submitted for City staff review on September 14, 2007. It was revised based upon suggestions from City staff and Evmark Board members. Evmark looks forward to working with City staff and the City Council's Economic Development Committee in formulating a final budget that reflects the ongoing and emerging needs of Evanston's downtown. This budget proposal consists of four parts: this cover memo, the proposed budget in an Excel spreadsheet format, a document explicitly defining each line item for your consideration, and a short spreadsheet providing a preliminary estimate of the SSA tax levy requiring City Council approval by December 31, 2007. Finally, three sets of • attachments are included. The first includes a description and examples of Evmark's current marketing programs with information about frequency and reach. The second is a copy of current maintenance contract with The Brickman Group and related Council documents from the 2007 approval of this contract. The third is more financial in character. It includes Evmark's FY2007 audited financial statements, Evmark's expenses for the first six months (March through August 2007) for the current FY2008, the same summary for FY2007, and the FY2008 internal Year -To -Date Actual vs. Budget financial statement. The approach to budget preparation is pragmatic. This proposed budget seeks balance among the occasionally conflicting needs of downtown's many stakeholders —property owners, merchants, and office tenants, among others. Evmark's mission is to market and manage downtown Evanston. Evmark's annual budget, as proposed, reflects the organization's mission -specific activities —marketing of the downtown district to consumers and investors, and management of downtown's environment, including maintenance. Given the expanded SSA district, some additional fields will obviously be used to serve this larger geography. Maintenance services are currently provided to all but four blocks of the expanded SSA geography. Marketing services have consistently been provided to what is generally perceived as `downtown Evanston," without regard to legal SSA boundaries. • This budget, as the first for a full-time Evmark organization, attempts to address the inherent uncertainties of such a first effort. The document defining each line item briefly explains the components, history, and plan for income and expense categories. Some definitions have been combined for greater clarity. Income has been projected based upon the proposed SSA levy and generally assumes other income categories remain near FY2008 levels. Any distinctions are noted. Most marketing expense line items have been projected using past expense levels with the addition of new or expanded programs. Maintenance -related line items, including the maintenance contract and holiday decorations, reflect likely pricing increases identified by Evmark's current vendors. Marketing efforts will be enhanced, and five new programs are planned. New marketing efforts will be quantified during FY2009 for efficacy. Ongoing programs will continue to be evaluated and altered for improvement. The planned update of downtown's 2005 Retail Marketing Study will again serve a marketing guide, as the 2005 version did. Evmark's two major management -related contracts will be re -bid in late 2007 (the downtown maintenance contract) and in 2008 (the holiday decorations lease). Both expenses will increase as noted above. Evmark's downtown management work includes one additional function, representing much less expense that the contractual obligations. Evmark works in partnership with the City and other Evanston entities to foster downtown's economic development. This work will continue and is incorporated in this budget. With a full-time staff, the role of Evmark's Executive Director and Marketing Director will change and include additional work that simply could never be addressed by the equivalent of 1.25 full-time staff. The Executive Director will likely be responsible for overall management functions and for Evmark's external outreach, including downtown business recruitment work with • property owners, in tandem with City staff. The Marketing Director will be responsible for marketing programs, their development and efficacy, and for outreach to downtown's ground floor business community. In addition to the line item definitions, the proposed budget should be considered with the short spreadsheet projecting the SSA levy. Evmark's initial projections for the SSA levy used during the legal SSA extension and expansion process were purposely conservative. The original first year amount proposed for Evmark's full-time operation was $475,000. This $475,000 first -year amount was later separated into two income categories-- $370,500 from the SSA, and $104,500 from four possible City of Evanston funding sources. (This was after the exclusion of downtown residential properties from SSA4.) Given most recent EAV data, it appears that the net SSA levy amount will likely be about $445,000. This assumes that the anticipated 2007 EAV for the SSA ($337,955,136) is reduced by 10%, to an amount slightly less than $305,000,000. The maximum SSA levy rate of. 1464% applied to $304,159,622 produces this $445,000 figure. Hence, Evmark's request for City funding, as described in Ordinance 67-0-07, will likely be an estimated $30,000. The tax levy proposal to generate the $445,000 has been submitted by the City's Finance Department for approval. Evmark, both Board and staff, welcome the opportunity for questions and comments. • Evmark's Executive Committee approved this proposed budget for submission to the City at its September 12 meeting. Once this proposed budget has been vetted through EDC, the Evmark Board of Directors will approve the revised budget at their November • meeting. In future years, both approvals will be obtained at the September Board meeting. These budget approval meetings, including Evmark's upcoming November 15, 2007 meeting, will be open to the public.

Income and expense line items are described for background purposes. Income Line Items Special Service Area #4 (SSA #4): The proceeds from the self -tax paid by commercial property owners within the SSA's legally defined geography. These proceeds are collected by the City of Evanston. Evmark invoices the City of Evanston's Finance Department quarterly for these proceeds. City of Evanston Contribution: As described Ordinance #67-0-07, the City may make a contribution to Evmark from one of four funds —the Washington National TIF Special Tax Allocation Fund, the Downtown II TIF Special Tax Allocation Fund, the Economic Development Fund, and any appropriate City Council approved funding source. The contribution itself is also described in the Ordinance. The amounts are limited to a maximum of $138,000. The projected amount for FY2009 is currently about $30,000, versus an originally projected $104,500. This $30,000 amount depends upon downtown tax data received closer to the December levy approval. The calculation data is included with this budget information. This City contribution was offered as part of the Council request to exclude residential property owners from SSA 94 during the 2007 SSA • renewal process. As with SSA #4, the expectation is that these contributions will be invoiced quarterly. (It should be noted that this line item differs from the City of Evanston line item that appears in the attached internal FY2008 financial statement. The line item in that statement represents reimbursement approved by the City Council for the Maintenance Contract with The Brickman Group.) Maintenance Contract Reimbursements: The maintenance contact with the downtown maintenance contractor (currently The Brickman Group) is approved annually by Evanston's City Council. The contract is between Evmark and the contractor. Certain services provided through the Evmark contract are services perfonned at the City's request. These reimbursements are for these services. A side agreement, expressing these services, between Evmark and the City is then signed by the City Manager after Council approval. The maintenance contract will be bid again in late 2007. The contract term is (and has been) for 3 years with an annual renewal provision. The RFP will be issued by Evmark, as it has in the last two bids rounds. City staff and the Evmark Executive Director evaluate all RFP responses and recommend a contractor and bid for approval. The City is invoiced for these reimbursements on a quarterly basis. Contributions: This projection represents an agreed upon contribution by Northwestern University as owner of 1800 Sherman Avenue. Northwestern has agreed to this • contribution. As with the other key revenue categories, the plan is to invoice quarterly for these proceeds. Currently, a contribution is received from Arthur Hill and Company of • $22,500 annually. Per the City's development agreement, this contribution is to be paid by Arthur Hill and Company through December 2008. As the Hill development is now included within the SSA boundaries, the current development agreement will require modification. (This point has been discussed with the appropriate City staff.) Special Service Area #5 (SSA #5) Reimbursements: Reimbursements are received twice annually from SSA #5 (the downtown streetscape SSA) after invoicing the City of Evanston. These reimbursements vary in amount. These amounts are related to certain expenses for streetscape maintenance. Examples include turf replacement in certain areas, plantings in certain areas, and certain sidewalk cleanings. Marketing Program Reimbursements: Several Evmark marketing programs are conducted jointly with downtown business owners. Participating businesses partially pay for these initiatives. These programs include street banners, cooperative advertising, and radio advertising on WBEZ and WBBM-AM. Sponsorship income from the It's Thursday dance series is also included in this category and is the largest component of this category. Interest Income: Evmark maintains an insured money market account, in addition to its operating checking account, with First Bank & Trust. Some interest income is received annually from deposits to this account prior to any transfer to the checking account. . Expense Line Iten2s Expenses are divided into five general categories —Marketing, Maintenance, Holiday Decorations, Payroll, and Administrative. Maintenance, Holiday Decorations, Payroll, and Administrative are considered part of Evmark's management function. These categories were separated for reviewer clarity. Marketing: The Marketing budget comprises multiple expense categories. For this year's budget, Evmark plans to expand current marketing activities and add two low cost and one larger event. The goal is to achieve balance among image enhancement activities, special events, retail and dining promotions, and public relations. With additional funding, Evmark will now be able to permit consistency in image enhancement, special events, and promotions. (Public relations has always been conducted in-house and will continue.) The first three expenses categories are designated shopping, dining, and commercial real estate. These three categories represent `channels' of downtown activities associated with certain downtown consumers and investors. Each includes ongoing and new image related advertising and promotion through various media. Shopping and dining are self- explanatory. The budget allocations for these two categories reflect the numbers of restaurants and retailers within the downtown district. The commercial real estate budget • represents work with downtown's commercial real estate brokers to enable a strong downtown market for upper story tenants. Evmark's ongoing campaign to enhance downtown's image as an office location remains an important priority. (This campaign 2 has been in place since 2004 attempting to make the best use of minimal available • dollars.) The expenses allocated to these three categories include: The annual registrations and printing expense for two International Council of Shopping Centers meetings in Chicago. These two events attract retailers and site locators seeking locations throughout the Midwest. The second session features presentations by retailers providing site specifics. City staff and Evmark staff attend both events. Advertising expenses for each "channel" by type. Other attachments to this budget describe how Evmark reaches target customers in its target geography to promote shopping and dining/entertainment. Briefly, Evmark advertises in local and regional newspapers, on radio, and increasingly, through electronic media, such as Metromix. Evmark's first pod cast will be available on the website for this holiday season. Variations in expense for the commercial real estate category. The commercial real estate dollar budget differs from the other two sectors. Reaching those decision makers through advertising and outreach to the office broker community requires a different approach. There are local and regional channels for ongoing image development. Most are trade publications, print and electronic. Downtown marketing includes events. Certain events, unless retail promotions, do not • `ring registers.' They provide visibility for the broader downtown offering. These line items include event specific expenses only. The `It's Thursday' dance series is the largest, including expenses for bookings and performers for that six -week series. Super Summer Sale expense is for a small amount of direct expense specific to that retail promotion. Most marketing expense for Super Summer Sale is also included in shopping expense. Smaller line items recognize event specific expense for Big Bite Night and for the Holiday Tree Lighting. The remaining category, described as General Event Expense, represents planned direct expense for a new event. This event has yet to be determined. Under consideration is a Shop By Bike in the spring, a Restaurant Week, and a Holiday Shopping event. The largest Marketing expense, currently and proposed, is the production and design of the downtown directory. This 24-page brochure, listing all of downtown's ground level merchants has been printed twice annually. Current distribution is nearly 100,000 annually. In past years, the two versions were updated and printed each spring and for the holidays. Demand in 2007 has necessitated an October printing versus a holiday printing. The $45,000 amount will enable one additional printing annually. Of the remaining Marketing expense, two are noteworthy. Evmark has significantly improved its website. The budgeted amount will allow continued upgrades. Downtown • street pole banners will require replacement. Evinark plans to work in conjunction with downtown merchants -to purchase banners for downtown's streets. This will likely be done over the next 2-3 years. The final Marketing expense for $1,000 will include small dollars not elsewhere categorized. Management expense includes four categories —maintenance, holiday decorations, payroll, and administrative. The key expense within management is for the two downtown maintenance contracts. The primary downtown maintenance contract, currently with The Brickman Group, will be re -bid in late 2007 Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The estimate for this includes an increase of about $21,000 over FY2.008. Evmark also hopes to add additional downtown street planters, assuming contract costs remain as budgeted. The second maintenance contract for the downtown planters shows an increase. from $10,000 to $12,000 annually. This reflects a likely increase plus the purchase of two new planters. Within maintenance, there are two additional line items for equipment and materials. These represent costs to service Evmark's cleaning equipment each spring and the purchase of any materials excluded from the larger maintenance contract. Each line item varies annually, and projections are based upon past experiences. Another management -related item that will be renegotiated in FY2009 is holiday decorations. Evmark currently has a four-year lease agreement with Temple Display, Inc. for downtown holiday decorations. This lease expires in September 2008. During the current lease period, Temple held their labor costs constant. With the expanded area requiring additional decorations, combined with the replacement of the current • decorations under the lease terms, and an expected increase in labor costs, the annual cost for decorations will grow from $35,OOO to $55,000. This $55,000 figure will be slightly larger in future years. Payroll will represent the largest expense category within management. Full-time salaries for an Executive Director and a Marketing Director are estimated respectively at $70,000-$80,000 and $55,000-60,000 annually. These estimates were obtained from comparable downtown programs in the Chicago area, including Oak Park and Elmhurst, and relevant examples in similar communities. These are demanding positions necessitating experienced staff requiring appropriate compensation and benefits. Medical benefits for full-time staff will be available from the City of Evanston. This arrangement is typical among similar downtown organizations. The estimate shown talce applies the family rate for the City's PPO on an amlual basis less a 30% employee contribution for these benefits. Anticipated full-time staff roles and responsibilities were described in the cover memo for this budget submission. Two categories of part-time Evmark staff exist. Two part-time staff positions include an accountant/bookkeeper and an administrator. The first position obviously manages the accounting system and works in tandem with the Executive Director and Evmark's accounting firm and Treasurer on financial matters. The second position, the • administrator, maintains the business and property owner databases and website information. Both employees work no more than.6 hours per week. No change in their hours is anticipated with a full-time operation. Evmark also employs a mentally 9 challenged, Evanston resident as a part-time maintenance worker. She came to Evmark through the now -defunct Natural Ties organization and sweeps the sidewalks for 2 hours • each day, depending upon the weather. Again, no change is anticipated in this employment situation. Administrative expense includes the day-to-day cost of operating the Evmark office. The office space requirement and most expenses will be unchanged. Given general increase likely for these typical expenses, a 5% increase was included in each line item. • 0 Confirmed/Anticipated EAVs Special Service Area #4 August-07 Confirmed 2005 EAV $ 251,137,796 $ Proposed.2OO6 EAV 274,821,415 $ Anticipated 2007 EAV 337,955,136 304,150,622 X .001464 $ 494,766 Less 10% $ 445,290 Revenue Requisite EAV $ 475,000 $ 324,453,552 Evmark Marketing Background Information for FY2009 Proposed Budget • With an enhanced marketing budget, Evmark will be able to reach greater numbers of potential consumers and investors with greater frequency. The ongoing objective in the current and in previous years is to maximize the downtown marketing effort through efficient use of limited dollars. With additional funds available, Evmark plans to increase print and radio advertising, collateral materials production, electronic marketing, and public relations. Evmark has annual contracts with the Evanston RoundTable and the Pioneer Press. The circulation selected for most of the Pioneer Press advertising includes Evanston, the North Shore through Glencoe, and the City north zones. Chicago's North Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) execute contracts with the Chicago Tribune for print ads, co-op ads, or for Metromix advertising on Evmark's behalf. This allows Evmark to take advantage of their contract ad rates. Media purchases in real estate or retail trade publications or with print outlets, such as The Onion, are purchased when discounted pricing is available for individual ads. Radio ads will continue, as long as downtown merchants continue to participate in the program. Contracts are executed periodically with WBEZ and WBBM-AM for co-op radio advertising. Evmark organizes four special events each year —the "It's Thursday! Let's Dance!" series, Super Summer Sale, Big Bite Night, and the holiday tree lighting. For FY2009, • Evmark hopes to add two or three special events to its annual schedule. Three under current consideration include a restaurant week, a shop by bike promotion, and a holiday - oriented retail promotion event. Evmark has also provided sponsorships to three major downtown events —First Night, Arts Week downtown opening event (in -kind), and most recently, the Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Grand Prix of Cycling (concluding dance event and event publicity). Evmark's most visible marketing effort is the downtown directory, published twice annually. The directory includes a detailed location map and over 300 listings. It is now produced as a semi -hardcover, 24-page booklet including business category, addresses, phone numbers and web sites for each downtown ground floor business. Evmark continues to improve the quality of the directory and to increase its distribution. Over 100,000 directories are now distributed annually. These directories are provided to major users, such as Northwestern University, the downtown Evanston hotels, and the Chicago Office of Tourism, and are available in downtown businesses and downtown parking garages. These directories are also distributed by The Evanston Chamber of Commerce, the CVB, at local commuter transit and rail stations (including the Ogilvie Transportation Center), and by request. In past years, a holiday version of this directory was produced and inserted into various publications. This year, the reprint must occur earlier, and a special holiday insert will be prepared. Evmark has developed a database which is used to update the directory information, • business contact information, and the Evmark website. Updates are typically done weekly. Evmark's website has a search function that lets visitors locate and browse • downtown businesses and their websites. The downtown directory is also available from the Evmark website in PDF format. Evmark's ads on Metromix allow click through to Evmark's website with links to individual downtown business websites. In addition, updating email addresses for downtown's businesses is part of ongoing database management. This information aids Evmark in communicating to the downtown business community.

These ads are of several types, including generic, recognition, special event, outdoor dining, shopping specific, or office market. The following represents the circulations of those publications used for advertising. Obviously, Evmark purchases advertising on contract for multiple insertions in each general circulation publication.

Using an extensive list of media contacts, Evmark regularly submits stories to local and regional publications. Some stories have resulted in national exposure. The best example may be national publicity about the Technology Innovation Center at 820 Davis Street. This national publicity was the result of an initial Evmark public relations piece. In addition, Evmark offers the same services to downtown businesses, new and existing. A current effort, "Find It in Downtown Evanston," is geared to publicizing categories of downtown businesses in Pioneer Press and Evanston RoundTable. A few other programs of note: Gift baskets to new downtown condominium owners. These ample gift baskets, courtesy of downtown businesses, are provided to new downtown condo owners. Parking information brochures. Two previous versions have been produced, including the award winning "Got Parking?" collateral piece. These two printings of over 50,000 have been distributed and inserted in Pioneer Press and Highlights. Website: As noted, Evniark's website is updated frequently and includes information about all downtown ground floor businesses, downtown events, news, and demographics. The website now receives 2,000-2,500 visitors per month. Metromix users can click through directly to the website. As required by the • recent Implementation Agreement with the City, approved Board meeting minutes now appear on the "About Us" site page. A notice for the November 15 public meeting also appears on the website. • Pod casts. The first pod cast will be available on Evmark's website for the holidays. It will be a shopping tour of downtown. A second non -holiday version will be added after January 1. • Location boards in the parking garages. These boards are updated when new downtown directories are printed. • Slides in the downtown cinemas. These slides run continuously and change periodically and publicize shopping and dining in downtown Evanston on all eighteen National Cinemedia screens. • Partner programs. Evmark continues to support programs that bring people downtown. This includes the CVB's VIP Program for visitors. • Downtown databases. The ground floor tenant database, used for the downtown directory, serves multiple functions for communications and marketing. To serve Evmark's commercial property owner stakeholders, a database including information about all downtown commercial properties is under development. This database will hopefully link via the Property Identification Numbers (PINS) to the City's Geographic Information System (GIS) to provide detailed information about each downtown parcel, supplemented by ongoing contacts with the real estate community. • Samples of Evmark's recent marketing programs are attached for your review. This sampling provides a sense of what's been done. (Super Summer Sale in 2007 was a joint retail promotion by Evmark and the Chicago/Dempster Merchants Association.) The goal will be to do more of what has worked, continually refine downtown's brand, and add new events. As was done after the 2004 Retail Market Study, Evmark plans to use the results from the planned update of this study to guide and refine existing and planned marketing efforts to target consumers and geographies.

Cohen of Evanston, a structural engineering pioneer who helped forge the Chicago skyline and founded the consulting firm that became the Thorn- ton lbmasetti Chicago office, died May 2 at his home. He was 80. Mr. Cohen had been a leading mem- ber of the Chicago engineering commu- nity since the mid-1950s. Eli (pronounced "Elly") Cohen is known for his refinement of the com- posite steel high-rise with a reinforced concrete core, and for nearly a half -cen- tury collaborated with world-renowned architects on many Chicago landmark buildings. His, firm, Cohen-Barreto- Marchertas, served as structural engi- neer for more than 350 projects and more than 70 high-rise buildings. Mn Cohen worked closely with lead- ing developers — such as the John Buck Co.; . U.S. Equities; the Prime Group; Mesirow Stein, Hines; and LR Develop- ment — and with world-renowned de- signers, including Helmut Jahn, Philip Johnson, Tadao Ando, Cesar Pelli and Ri-. cardo Bofill. "Eli will be best remembered profes- sionally for his many Chicago high-rise buildings, and personally for -his gen- erosity and humanity" said Daniel Mar- quardt, managing partner of the Thorn- ton Tomasetti Chicago office; who worked in Cohen's firm for 20 years. Family fled the Nazis Composite steel pioneer Under Mr. Cohen's leadership, Cl pioneered the use of a composite st structural system. This involved the tegration of a reinforced -concrete a wall, to resist lateral loads, with a lil steel floor framing. The development 50- to 60-story buildings became mi feasible and efficient because the ligh framing reduced construction time a expense, and allowed for large, colun free spans, giving architects .greater fr dom in exterior expression. Mr. Cohen's composite steel desig received awards from the Structural I gineers Association of Illinois for Most novative Design in 1987, for.1.0 S. LaSz St.; Best Structure Award in 1991, for ] W. Madison St.; and Best . Structt Award in 1992, for 77 W. Wacker Drive. Other distinguished Chicago buildir CBM contributed to include the Xei Center, American, Medical Associati headquarters, Swissotel, a 42 story off. building at 190 S. LaSalle St. and the! story Leo Burnett Building. Mr. Cohen also spearheaded numerc philanthropic efforts, partjicularly 1 fi m's involvement with the Chicago., chitecture Foundation's Newhouse 1 chitectural Program, which gives hid school students the opportwzity to en' the field of architech.a_re and design. .. -Served Beth Emet's boarrd Born in Germany in 1927, Mr. Cohen and his family fled the Nazis and moved to Palestine in 1935.

Organization EVMARK is an Illinois non-profit organization incorporated May 4,1987. The Organization has been established for the purpose of marketing, promoting, maintaining and improving the downtown Evanston, Illinois area. The Organization is exempt from federal income tax as an organization described in Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. Basis of Accounting The financial statements of EVMARK have been prepared on the accrual basis. Principle Source of Revenue The Organization is funded by a tax levy each year from the landowners who own property within the boundaries of Special Services Area #4 within downtown Evanston. • Financial Statement Preparation C The Organization has adopted Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117, Financial Statements of Not -for -Profit Organizations. Under SFAS No. 117, the Organization is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. In addition, the Organization is required to present a statement of cash flows. Due to the tax levy discussed above and in Note 2, the Organization has only temporarily restricted net assets at each year end. Note 2 - Evanston Special Services Area No. 4 In 1987, the City of Evanston established Evanston Special Services Area No. 4 (the "Territory" or SSA #4) in order to provide certain public services which will supplement services currently or customarily provided by the City to the Territory and to assist the promotion and advertisement of the Territory in order to attract businesses and consumers to the Territory. The City of Evanston is responsible for collecting the tax levy for the Territory. The City maintains a separate fund to reflect the equity in this account on behalf of EVMARK. At February 28, 2007, EVMARK's equity in the SSA #4 fund held by the City of Evanston is $94,783. Ws EVMARK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 28, 2007 E Note 3 - Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Note 4 - Property and Eouipment In general, capital items are recorded at cost, if purchased, or at fair market value, if donated. Holiday Decorations and Maintenance Equipment consisting of sidewalk cleaning machines is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over a seven year useful life. Note 5 — Cash For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows the organization defines cash as checking and money market account balances. Note 6 — Equipment lease In December 2004 EVMARK purchased Holiday decorations under a lease/purchase agreement. The agreement requires four annual payments of $32,745, totaling $130,982. At February 28, 2007 two • remaining installments were due totaling $65,491. Note 7 — Subseouent event The Special Services Area No.4 expires in August, 2007. During the current year EVMARK and the City of Evanston began negotiations to renew the agreement which was subsequently approved by the Evanston City Council in April, 2007.
