Kathy Paslay and Lynn Ward updated the council about the destination business workshop they attended in Colorado. Several ideas were provided to help promote not only recollections, but the whole City as a destination.
Karmel Thacker – Spoke to the council regarding electrical needs for Territorial Days. We only have 20 amp service, and most vendors, especially food vendors need at least 30 amp service some need 50 amp. The council determined that the upgrade wouldn’t be a hard decision, maybe a little costly, but a plug style needs to be decided on. Karmel is to poll her vendors to see which style is most popular. Once that is determined City Council will proceed further.
Jeff Heiman – no new updates
Rance – no new updates
Lynley –
