Parks Commission Meeting Minutes November 13, 2000 Page 7 1 Momson indicated they are looking at opportunities for other restaurants but the real issue is that 2 the City can not issue a Sunday liquor license. 3 City Council Liaison Thuesen explained that a voter referendum would be needed to approve a 4 Sunday liquor license. He advised that a report was conducted on the condition of City 5 buildings, including the Stonehouse and Fire Station, and it was recommended that no significant 6 money be put into the Stonehouse or the Fire Station. 7 Zurbey reported that they purchased two pianos this year and $20,000 worth of varsity band 8 equipment last year.
