Mounds View City Council June 11, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 13 <br />Mayor Sonterre clarified that every other suburb that borders Mounds View is participating in the <br />Convention and Visitor's Bureau with the exception of New Brighton who does not have a hotel <br />to market. <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that the agreement had indicated that the City would receive <br />$2000 per year towards a festival to assist with marketing and it noted that the funds should be <br />used in a forum to attract out of town visitors. He then asked if the City could use the funds for <br />the Festival in the Park. <br />Economic Development Coordinator Parrish indicated the intent is to tie into a local festival to <br />be decided by Council. He then noted that he had assumed it would be used for the Festival in <br />the Park. <br />Council Member Marty made a point of order that the agreement was Item 7G and asked if the <br />questions could focus on the Ordinance. <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he thought the Festival in the Park was for residents not for <br />the purpose of attracting out of town visitors. <br />Economic Development Coordinator Parrish indicated there were some typographical changes <br />made to the Ordinance to clean it up. <br />City Attorney Riggs reviewed the changes that were made to the language of the Ordinance.
