Status Summary

As of October 24, 2003

Design & Permitting

	The application for the site construction permit has been submitted to Seminole County along with the permit fee in the amount of $7,965.00. The permit should be issued in late November.
	Ace Signs has submitted for the sign permits on the property. These permits should be issued early next week. The signs should be in place on the property late next week.

Construction

	I will be meeting next week with several contractors.
	I have already sent out two sets of landscaping plans for bid. The full site plans are available along with sufficient building plans to obtain pricing. I will be submitting these plans to Brasfield & Gorrie next week. I also plan on obtaining bids from Winter Park Construction and Keene Construction.
	I need to get contact information and meet with Tower Construction sometime in the very near future. I would like to get the contractor on board before the end of November.

M arketing & Promotion

	The signs will be installed on the property next week.
	I have attached a .pdf file of the revised tri-fold brochure on the project. On the front page, I still need to insert the “campus rendering”. I have been promised the digital file by no later than Saturday evening. I will print the temporary brochures on the color laser printer Sunday. We need these available for meetings next week as well as the upcoming Chamber of Commerce functions on both Thursday evening at the Regional Hospital and the Fantasy Night banquet on November 1^st.
	David Barley and I had a luncheon meeting at Heathrow Country Club on Wednesday with Loretta Barfield. David has known her for years. She is very prominent and has a wealth of contacts in Heathrow and Alaqua.
	Later we met with Terry Horton with Progressive Communications on Wednesday afternoon. They are the oldest and best known mail house and large printing operation in Orlando. They have been in Lake Mary over 20 years. PCI has compiled the mailing lists for us. They have pulled a list of all residences within a 10 mile radius with a market value in excess of $350,000 (this should equate to $500,000 in Broward County). The residential list includes 4,101 names of which 2,857 are within 5 miles. They have also pulled lists for all attorneys, doctors, medical labs and diagnostic labs, insurance agents, financial planners and CPA’s in Seminole and Orange Counties. The business SIC (Standard Industry Code) list contains 4,870 names.
	We are working on the layout for a print advertisement to run in the Orlando Business Journal (weekly); the Central Florida Business section of the Orlando Sentinel (Monday’s); and the Seminole Herald (bi-weekly). We are also subscribing to the Seminole Herald.
	Thursday, David Barley, Charley Barley and I had a luncheon meeting with Mark Ziebarth, Vice President and Office Manager of the CNL Bank next to the adjoining Walgreen’s. Mark, and that branch, specializes in commercial accounts for professionals. He pointed out to us that the wealthy people and those located in gated communities bank a great deal with him as they look at crossing I-4 as something they prefer not to do and they regard the Westerly side of I-4 as the “better” area psychologically. He will be a good referral source for us and his clientele is identical to ours…..small, successful businesspeople and we will be helpful to him also. He is second generation Floridian and took a special interest in Charley and offered to help him meet Seminole/Lake Mary chamber members. He also is setting up an introduction to a friend who has set up Certified Development Company which is anxious to finance office condominiums.
