The Urban Enterprise Association approved routine items on the agenda, including the minutes from Sept. 17, the claim docket for the month and monthly financial statements.

A motion to approve the Sept. 17 minutes was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The claim docket included four payments — one for consulting services, one for a code enforcement officer for September, one for a payment to Downtown Law (Costanza), and one listed as staff services — and the docket was approved after a motion and second; one board member abstained from that vote.

Mary Anne told the board she had included bank reconciliation statements in the board packet at the request of a board member and explained QuickBooks had duplicated two checks from August. She said accountant John Angelos attempted to correct the duplication but was unable to do so; staff will monitor the reconciliation and expects the checks to clear or be corrected on next month's statement.

Staff also reported on encumbered funds: Lowe's point incentive and Lincoln Walk payments were made earlier in the month; remaining encumbrances include parks department and downtown art projects, with one artist payment of $1,500 scheduled for next June according to the agreement.
