Mounds View City Council July 23, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 8 Council Member Stigney said that there is a musician’s union to provide grant money to bands 1 for occasions like this, and he would suggest the Festival Committee look into it. Council 2 Member Stigney said that it surprises him that they would pay the local high school band to 3 perform at the City festival. Council Member Stigney said that he feels that the car show sponsor 4 should pay for the dash plaques and other costs associated with the car show. 5 6 Council Member Mueller explained that there was no car club that was willing to sponsor the car 7 show, so it is being sponsored and organized by City volunteers to ensure that there is one. 8 Council Member Mueller indicated that four businesses from the community are sponsoring the 9 show, but they are working on more sponsors for next year. 10 11 Council Member Stigney said that there are hundreds of car clubs in the metro area that should 12 be contacted to see if they are willing to sponsor a show to make money for their club. 13 14 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 15 16 C.
