Council Reports: A. Discussion of the funding for the plaque for Sunfish Park. Eder stated that most of the monies that would be used for the plaque, and its installation, would come from the sale of buttons. However, there have not been very many buttons sold. Most of the buttons expense, to this point, may only cover the cost of renting the school and a couple associated costs. Whatever is collected is hoped to reduce the donation of the City of Oakdale and the City of Lake Elmo toward the installation of the plaque. He further stated that a dedication ceremony is planned at the entrance to Sunfish Park when the plaque is installed.
