City Council Meeting Minutes February 23, 1999 • Page 5 1 VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS -None. 2 3 IX. NEW BUSINESS. 4 A. . Resolution 99-023, re: Authorize call for bids for repairs at the G.A.C. water filtration 5 plant. 6 Motion by Marks, second by Thuesen to approve Resolution 99-023, authorizing call for bids for 7 repairs at the G.A.C. water filtration plant. 8 9 Motion carried unanimously. 10 11 B. Discuss 1999 Volunteer Dinner. 12 Ranallo stated he has recently had requests for the date of the 1999 Volunteer Dinner, and 13 requested that the Council select a date and perhaps decide on a speaker for the event. He added 14 Mornson and his staff would organize the event. 15 16 Thuesen stated he had 3 ideas for the dinner, which would all be associated with VillageFest: a 17 community picnic for all residents with special recognition of volunteers; a picnic specifically for 16 volunteers during VillageFest week; or a dinner similar to last year's event. 20 Ranallo expressed concern that the week of VillageFest, which already takes much planning and 21 effort on the part of volunteers, would be an inappropriate time for the dinner. Faust agreed, 22 stating the dinner is a way to honor volunteers, and asking them to bring a dish to a picnic would 23 be counter productive. He added that the last week in April is Volunteer Week, and the City has 24 tried to plan the dinner to coincide with that event in the past, as there is already other publicity, 25 and attendance is high. 26 27 Marks stated the dinner last year was opened up to a larger group which was a positive 28 development. He added the volunteers might not be able to attend the dinner during VillageFest. 29 30 Ranallo stated the Council should decide on a date for the dinner, adding all Saturday nights in 31 April are booked so a Friday would be better. 32 33 Mornson stated if April 30 is agreeable to the Council, he would reserve that on the calendar, and 34 a list of volunteers and possible speaker could be discussed at the Council's next worksession. 35 36 Ranallo stated there has not been a speaker at the Volunteer Dinner for a number of years but he 37 thought an outside speaker would be a positive addition. Mornson presented an information 38 sheet to the Council on a public speaker he had seen recently. 39 Motion by Marks, second by Thuesen to set the date of April 30, 1999 for the 1999 Volunteer *1 Dinner at the Community Center.
