John reviewed the allowed use for BBB sales tax and Second Penny sales tax. John reported that none of the $250,000 pledged from Second Penny funds for the Vermillion Now 2! Campaign have been paid at this point as a qualifying project has not been presented. John reported that the VCDC is in the final months of the building renovation of 2 East Main Street.

John noted that the 2 East Main building will include entrepreneurial space, the Charlie’s store, visitor center and chamber offices. John noted that Staff does not believe that renovation of the building fits within the parameters of 2nd Penny funds since the City will not own the building while the visitor’s center, entrepreneurial space, and Chamber office would be related to promotion of the community and economic development purposes that would fit within the BBB sales tax usages. John recommended approval of utilizing $100,000 of BBB funds in place of Second Penny funds pledged to the Vermillion Now 2! campaign for the 2 East Main project. Discussion followed. 159-18 Alderman Erickson moved approval of utilizing $100,000 of BBB funds in place of Second Penny funds pledged to the Vermillion Now 2! campaign 14 for the 2 East Main project. Alderman Collier-Wise seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Powell declared the motion adopted. E.
