Using the guy for community event only and renting the meeting rooms and kitchen.
?
Changing the rental policy to be comparable with other communities by renting in 4 hour
blocks, raising fees and defining “resident”.
Holiday

Decorations
Plaza have to be ordered by October 15, 2008. There was $25,000 budgeted for the
decorations and they came in $8,000 over budget so the Park Board agreed that amount will
come out of their budget. They also agreed that the lights on the Christmas should be changed
to C-7.
Renner
Julie Rule explained the Mayor Kathy Rose and her met with Gary Brenner in regard to the
Brenner Park
plan to reconfigure Renner Brenner Park. Gary Brenner told them that most of the artifacts left
are to the outside of the park near the road. He had little concern about digging 18 inches into
the ground. Now we need to talk to the playground people and get the specifics.
Jeff said that he would get a cost estimate for the playground equipment.
