August 9, 1990 <br />Dear Maurie; <br />I f 0 OR gv�Qw <br />RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br />2401 HIGHWAY10 <br />MOUNDS VIEW, MINN. 55112 <br />784-3055 <br />The vehicle that has been used during the past years for the <br />Mounds View/New Brighton puppet wagon has seen it's last days. The <br />body of the vehicle is rusted out so badly that the fumes from the <br />exhaust system penetrate through the holes in the floor and sides. <br />Also, the roof leaked terribly. It was brought in for roof repair <br />but the sheet metal worker suggested that the vehicle was not worth <br />the cost of repair. The engine is also in need of repair. For <br />these reasons our vehicle maintenance mechanic suggested that the <br />vehicle should be junked. <br />Needless to say this puts us in the position of re -thinking <br />the joint puppet wagon program between our cities. There are three <br />options that I see as considerations. <br />1.) Continue with the joint program. This means finding a new <br />vehicle or puppet wagon trailer or some kind of a facility to <br />accommodate performances. <br />2.) Discontinue the joint program. <br />3.) Each city continue a program separately. <br />Perhaps we should discuss the options with our Commissions and <br />Councils to get a feel for their committment and support of the <br />Puppet Wagon to determine what avenue we should pursue for next <br />year. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mary Saarion <br />
