He thanked <br />the Bethlehem Baptist congregation for their continued generosity. He indicated he recently met <br />with Bethlehem Baptist staff to discuss how a recent donation would be utilized in the <br />community. Staff reviewed the list of proposed items to be purchased noting one amendment to <br />the list and recommended approval from the Council. <br />Council Member Meehlhause thanked Bethlehem Baptist for their proposed donation. He asked <br />if these funds could be used to assist Festival in the Park in 2014.
