EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Advertising - Marilyn reported that with a change in paper, addition of 44 pages and an inserted map
that the price for producing the Fayetteville Guide was going to be less than last year's price. The book is
estimated to cost $75,825.00. CVB staff has been selling ads and total sales is $39,750 (compared with
$16,500 sales last year).
Rersonnel - Marilyn presented a job description for an Operations Manager to be added to the staff
instead of replacing the Convention/University Marketing Manager position created with the resignation
of Shelly Walters. Marilyn indicated that a budget adjustment would be presented to the Commission
because of the change. Salary range was adjusted to $48,400 to $58,400. Moved by Davis, second by
Jordan to advertise for an operations manager. Motion carried.
•i acilities - Marilyn alerted Commission to some repairs which needed to be addressed. Roof on the
Town Center - $40,000-$44,000 (this will prolong the life of the roof). Ice machine needs to be replaced
$6,120. Air condition unit 3 has hail damaged condenser coils and two contactors need replacing on
Unit 4. Commission requested that city insurance be looked into regarding hail damage.
AD AGENCY
Drew Finkbeiner reported for the Agency that Spring Summer creative was focusing on the outdoor s,
patios, and gardens. The Facebook campaign is getting 9% referral numbers, a higher than industry
standard. Mike Sells thanked the CVB staff for ad sales and said the progress to have the book
completed earlier was a stretch but the Agency was working diligently toward that goal.
n the Fayetteville guide. January - February has shown an increase of web activity. They've expanded
geographical region and all areas show an increase. Drew presented the new First Thursday logo.
OLD BUSINESS
A.Old Post Office
Appraisal from Parrish Appraisals was reviewed. Their estimate of Improved Value (Land and Building)
was $730,000.
Davis said there was no way to go back and approve the counteroffer from Bumpass of $1.5 million after
receiving the appraisal though he realized the need for synergy downtown of the building use for artists,
weddings, and meeting space.
•iordan thought the $1.5 million was too high. He suspected that we are going to have to do some repair
and renovations to the building to make it fit our uses.
Davis said it would take from $250,000-$400,000 to bring the building up to standards and asked if the
Commission wanted to continue negotiations. Jordan said, "I think so," and the sentiment was echoed
by the other Commissioners. Lyle said he wasn 't interested in a lease any longer. Schmitt said the lease
would handcuff the Commission with any repairs or remodeling having to be approved by Bumpass and
not having access to the entire building. Lyle suggested hiring an attorney.
Kit Williams said doing the appraisal was good. He suggested the need for an inspection of mechanicals.
Davis indicated that the Commission could make an offer with the conditions based on acceptance of
mechanical system and roof inspection. He said it wouldn't be prudent to spend more money if the
Commission and Bumpass couldn't come together on a purchase price.
Schmitt suggested that the Commission offer to purchase the Old Post Office building based on the
appraisal of $730,000 (to use as a starting point for negotiations) with conditions previously stated.
SCARPINO BUILDING - Jordan said the building has an issue with parking available. Building is all right.
Parking could be used at the U of A after hours. Davis said the synergy is downtown and the best
situation for the artists would be to be downtown. Schmitt said Scarpino is a beautiful place for
weddings, not necessarily for artists. The OPO allows for income and for other uses for the Commission.
0yle asked if an appraisal had been done on Scarpino. Schmitt pointed out that Scarpino was too far
away from the Square for what we're looking for. Jordan said the Old Post Office was an "ideal location"
and would fit for what we're trying to do on the Square.
Jordan moved to make a basic offer of $730,000 contingent on the Old Post Office meeting
requirements and passes an %inspection. Davis second. Motion carried.
Zeal Estate Attorney - The Commission received one response from the ad placed in the paper for a real
estate attorney, The Davis Firm. They have lots of clients and have included a fee schedule in their
proposal. Williams said the City has used this firm and they are good.
Moved by Davis to accept The Davis Firm as the real estate attorney to make the offer for the Old Post
Office to Bumpass, second Jordan. Motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS
The Butterfield Overland Mail Route Historic Trail public hearing.
Moved by Davis, second by Jordan to approve the resolution supporting the Butterfield as a National
Historic Trail which will be presented to National Parks Service personnel conducting a public hearing.
Motion carried. Jordan indicated that he will be speaking on behalf of the City as well.
OTHER BUSINESS
Operations Manager - Mills asked that the salary range be changed to $48,000-$58,000 with the salary
based on experience and performance.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Accountant's Compilation Report ( ) 846-4314
To Commission Members,
I have compiled the accompanying Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Capital arising
from transactions of Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion Commission, The
Fayetteville Town Center, The Convention and Visitors Bureau, and The Clinton House
Museum as of May 31 , 2012 and the related Statements of Revenue and Expenses for the
period then ended, and five months then ended and the period then ended last year, and
five months then ended last year, and the related Statements of Revenue and Expenses by
Division for the period then ended and five months then ended last year. I have not
audited or reviewed the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly, do not
express an opinion or provide assurance about whether the financial statements are in
accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting. The financial statements have
been prepared on the modified cash basis, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting
other than generally accepted accounting principles.
Management (Owners) is(are) responsible for the presentation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting and for
• designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements.
My responsibility is to conduct the compilation in accordance with Statements on
Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. The objective of a compilation is to assist management in
presenting financial information in the form of financial statements without undertaking
to obtain or provide any assurance that there are no material modifications that should be
made to the financial statements.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the disclosures ordinarily included in
financial statements arising from modified cash basis of accounting. If the omitted
disclosures were included in the financial statements, they might influence the user's
conclusions about the Company's asse[ liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses.
Accordingly, these financial statements are not designed for those who are not informed
about such matters.
I am not independent with respect to Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion
Commission, The Fayetteville Town Center, The Convention and Visitors Bureau, and
The Clinton House Museum.
