FAYETrrEVILLE
THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
When I saw the monthly report from our Accounting Department last
Friday, I noticed that the Cosmopolitan Hotel had failed to pay HMR taxes and
requested that this information be forwarded to the City Prosecutor's Office. The
Accounting Department has now sent this to the City Prosecutor's Office. Casey
Jones informs me that a new case, criminal citation, etc. will be promptly filed for
the Cosmopolitan's failure to timely remit the necessary HMR taxes.
On #6, a new citation will be issuedfor the new owners who have not sent in
their reporting forms or the necessary tax.

CLINTON HOUSE MUSEUM
MONTHLY REpORT MARCH 2010
The Clinton House Museum had a total of 92 visitors in March 2010. March has brought many
spring break visitors marks the beginning of the House's "busy season". Additionally, we seem
to be having more and more local visitors. The increased presence in print, network, and social
media has been a great success for the House.
Several members of The Historic & Heritage Resources Action Group of the FFEAC
(Fayetteville Forward Economic Accountability Council) also visited the House in March
continuing their recognition of "all things Fayetteville."
APRIL ACTIVITIES:
April brings a bus tour from Bixby, OK and the Dedication of the Clinton House Museum into
the National Historic Registry of Places. We will also host the monthly A&P Meeting on April
iz" following the dedication. Additionally, the April issue of City seapes Magazine features an
article about the Clinton House as part of its "In Your Backyard" series. We continue our "bulb
watch" on Facebook despite the setback of the two feet of snow burying some of Hillary's
daffodils.
