• Business Directory: LPMS created and published the Lincoln Park District Business Directory in October 2026.
• Technical Assistance: Assistance was provided to Cynthia’s Alterations & More for façade and signage grant applications, both were approved by the CRA.

• Marketing & Events: LPMS completed multiple required events, including Small Business Saturday, Flaming Knight Toy Drive, community engagement events, and Doing Business With the City Workshop. 
• Branding & Outreach: Monthly newsletters were published through September; quarterly survey requirement met with 100 total surveys collected. Website traffic data was not available for this quarter due to a temporary outage affecting     
  LPMS’s website in September and part of October. The organization reports that the issue originated with its domain provider and that work is ongoing to restore full functionality. 
• Volunteer Goals: LPMS exceeded required volunteer hours, reporting 797 hours in Q4 alone.

Financial reporting for the quarter was submitted using the required Revenue and Expense Reporting Form. The quarterly financial statements reflect compliance with budget requirements, with personnel costs remaining below the 40% threshold and a positive year-end net surplus.

Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the release of the Fourth Quarter disbursement to Main Street Fort Pierce, Inc.

The Commission can deny the quarterly disbursement, defer the decision, suspend or terminate the agreement.
