The band's <br />name is "Trailer Trash." She indicated that they are a country band and are excellent. The <br />consensus of the Commission members was to go ahead and book the band. They <br />commented that the newsletter and flyers should contain information letting residents know <br />what type of music the bands play. <br />PIONEER The ,Director stated that Sanders is still obtaining information on this subject and will present <br />PARHING the information at a future meeting. <br />PROJECTS The Director indicated that there is nothing new to report on this issue. <br />UPDATE <br />BLEACHERS The Director stated that the compliance deadline has been extended to give people more time <br />to come up with money to pay for bleacher corrections. The bleachers at Pioneer Park have <br />already been retrofitted, but some freestanding bleachers throughout the City still need work <br />and/or replacement. <br />CABLE The Director stated that the Council wanted the Commission to readdress the issue of <br />CASTING whether or not Commission meetings should be televised live. Anderson stated that <br />televising would be a good public outreach. The meetings are not well attended. However, <br />if they were televised, residents could watch from home. <br />Other Commission members made the following comments: <br />^ Residents may not want to apply for Commission openings if they are on television. We <br />have a hard enough time as it is to recruit people. <br />^ There is more substance to Council meetings requiring them to be televised. <br />Commission members are volunteers whereas Council members are elected officials. <br />^ The Commission's suggestions get final decision at the Council level. <br />The Commission was unanimous in its recommendation to not televise the Commission <br />meetings. <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
