Motion seconded Gy Larson. Motion carried 7 - 0. WORKSHOP Council wants emphasis put on the Round Lake Park western portion. WITH COUNCIL In the workshop with Council they suggested pursuing land acquisitions on Demont around the school. The committee should start by finding out who the owners are of the houses in that area and also if there are airy grants options available for a bridge over 35E. CONCERTS The last concert had a great band, but this concert was lower in attendance than some of the other conceits. Danielson had some ideas for next year and sought suggestions from the committee. The idea was brought up about video taping next year and play the concerts back on the cable channel. Also, look at the possibility of getting more signs which would attract more visibility to the event. For the concerts that are more family interactive another idea would be an ice creain social on that night. The Review had an ad in their last edition that advertised pricing for running an advertisement flyer insert. The committee will look next year at pursuing these options.
