CONSENT
Dennis reviewed the following items submitted for consideration:
Pam Kelly requested to donate a memorial {a bench if possible) at
K�nnydale Beach Park in memory of Sean Reid. Staff recommends
approval and will work with Ms. Kelly on setection o# a memorial and site.
Tafbot Hill Elementary School's Micro Society requested to use the
community center banquet room ar�d have the fee wai�ed an April 29,
2006, for a fund-raising auction. Staff does not recommer�d appro�al of
the wai�er of fees; the Saturday even�ng banquet room fee is $850.0�.
Deanna Isadore, concessionaire at Liberty Park, requested to close the
concession at Liberty Park during the off-season and Y�a�e the f�es
wai�ed. Those rates are approximately $75 per month. Since the
opening of Big Foo# Java, the competition has limited their income to $20-
$30, which she #eels is a waste of the utilities. Staff recommends appro�al
of this request.
There was discussion regarding Talbot Hill's request to use the banquet room at
the community center and have ti�e fee wai�ed, Jerry r�oted that they had
res�rr�ed the banquet roam last year and recei�ed a fee wai�er and canceled one
week prior, because "they didn°t ha�e their act tog�ther." This caused a
significant revenue loss and the room was empty for that evening. Alt�ough we
have a reciprocal agreement with the school district, since we use their gym
space for after school programs, we don't be�ieve this PTA group falls within
those boundaries to receive fee waivers. Troy Wigestrand made a motion to
approve the consent agenda wi�h staff recommendations. Ralph E�ans
s�canded the motion, ali were in favor, motion carried, consen# agenda
approved.
Dennis Culp also reviewed the revised ordinance gaveming boards and their
sco�e of authority. He re�iewed tne changes� �ncEuding one regarding absences,
