B) Wayfinding Sign
Pope said the Marketing Committee had discussed the idea of putting a wayfinding sign at the southwest corner of Abbot and Saginaw to direct people coming from the west to the downtown. The Library and the Parks, Recreation and Arts Department also wanted the sign to direct people to the library and the sports complexes to the north, and they have committed funds to pay towards the wayfinding sign, which costs a total of $1,893. Staff recommends the DMB allocate $631 towards the sign.

He said handicapped accessible parking will be added to these inserts. Krueger remarked that the meters behind Crunchy’s offer 15 minutes for a quarter. Pope will check with Parking on the rates and revise the insert. There was also a suggestion to make the map a little larger.

8) Committee Reports A) Marketing Committee
Pope said they did not meet last month. She informed the new members that the Marketing Committee received proposals for a phone app which ranged from $4,000 to $12,000. The Communications Department in the meantime had issued RFPs to update the City’s website. She indicated most of the proposals include a phone app, and if the DMB can work with the City’s website, it would free up approximately $13,000 from their marketing budget. She will see if Alan McCarrick, the Information Systems Administrator, can speak at the April meeting regarding the proposals. Kusler said it would be nice to have as an add-on virtual tours of the downtown and parking areas.

RODNEY WHITAKER ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, SUMMER SOLSTICE JAZZ FESTIVAL Hello Business and Community Leaders, For almost 20 years, the Summer Solstice Jazz Festival has been presenting the very best in national, regional and local jazz talent to mid Michigan. With strong support from the community, I have witnessed the festival grow from a small event on the campus of Michigan State University to a major regional music festival in downtown East Lansing. In 2013, the SSJF had some exciting developments. With the assistance of MSU, the festival reinforced its dedication to education by adding the MSU Education Stage, a performance area for high-school-aged and young, up-and-coming jazz musicians. The MSU Education Stage was well received and attracted many jazz fans as well as students and their families. It is truly an honor to be the artistic director of the SSJF. It provides me another great opportunity to enhance the cultural atmosphere of Greater Lansing. By supporting the 2014 festival with a fi nancial or in-kind donation, you will help us engage and enhance the community in which we live and do business. Kind Regards,
Rodney Whitaker, Artistic Director

Downtown Management Board Special Marketing Committee Meeting Wednesday, March 12, 2014 - 4:00 p.m. Conference Room A, City Hall Synopsis
Committee Members Present: Nick Chilenko, Joyce Banish, Vivian Keeney
Staff Present: Heather Pope, Terri Soliday
1. 2014-2015 Generic Advertising
a. WILX-TV
Mindy Wise from WILX Channel 10 TV made a presentation to the Committee. She indicated she has had a lot of experience working with co-op advertising and with DDA’s and Old Town. She offered five different MomsEveryday interviews at no cost. These interviews would also run on the MomsEverday.com website with links to our website, Facebook, or other social media. Their total proposal was $5,040.
b. WVIC/WLMI Radio
Alex Hencken gave a proposal for the above two stations, which includes baby boomers and younger listeners. He said because there will be a lot of political commercials starting in the fall, he could offer 10-second stand-alone Weather or News Sponsorships. He said if the DMB approves his proposal, he could also offer downtown businesses the same rates. His proposal totaled $2,500. He said for an additional $1,000 he could offer a one-hour remote, or $2,000 for a two-hour remote, which would include the talent fee, for an event such as Girls Day Out.
c. Townsquare Media Lansing (formerly Cumulus Radio)
Lisa Truong presented a proposal which includes two of their radio stations—WFMK-FM and WJIM-FM. Her presentation also incorporated social media. These would include 15 second voiceovers at $20 per commercial and also offer online streaming for a total of $2,435. Truong said local businesses could contribute up to five gift cards of $20 for each event as on-air giveaways.
The Committee discussed the proposals. Pope will get a quote from Townsquare for the cost of a one-hour or two-hour remote. She indicated Channel 6 said they would submit a proposal, but she has not heard from them. She said she had some problems with Channel 6’s responsiveness in the past.
Chilenko suggested asking downtown businesses what media outlets they use the most to advertise with and what they listen to.
Pope indicated they will hear two or three more proposals at the Downtown Marketing Committee meeting on March 19. Downtown Management Board Marketing Committee Meeting Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - 4:00 p.m. Conference Room A, City Hall Synopsis
Committee Members Present: Nick Chilenko, Vivian Keeney, Ray Walsh, Mike Krueger
Staff Present: Heather Pope, Terri Soliday
1. 2014-2015 Generic Advertising
a. Comcast
Mike Ferrera from Comcast Spotlight reviewed his proposal for $5,000 and said the 15-second ads would be shown in East Lansing and Lansing AT&T U-Verse TV zones. He also offered $300 and $500 campaigns. Chilenko asked for details and which stations would be used for which events. Ferrera said he would provide that. He said the general rotators run from 5 a.m. to midnight, and the Committee may switch networks if they like.
b. Fox 47
Dana Kromer, Sales Manager filling in for Joe Antonelli, outlined a $5,000 campaign, dividing the ads per event between 5-second ads, 15-second ads and sponsorship billboards, and as a bonus offered Facebook inclusion and Twitter events. She also offered the opportunity to purchase Morning Blend interview segments for $295 apiece, with the opportunity to distribute the segments electronically. She said we could replace some of the 5-second ads with 15-second ads.
c. Channel 6
Pope said we received a proposal from Channel 6 which came in after the deadline. The committee decided not to consider their proposal.
The Committee recommended spending $14,000 as follows:
$2,500 with Townsquare Radio $6,500 with Fox 47 $5,000 with Comcast
This would leave $1,000 in the generic year-round advertising budget.
Pope said we would want Comcast to come back with their proposals for each event before making a commitment.
2. Be a Tourist in Your Own Town
Pope said she met with Julie Pingston from GLCVB to put together a scavenger hunt which downtown businesses can participate in during this event.
Keeney expressed concern that with the Farmers Market opening, there will be much more traffic and speeding in the Valley Court area. Pope will discuss this with Ami van Antwerp and possibly get the City Engineer involved.
