1. Ms. Volkening called the meeting to order at 7;03 P.M.
2. Motion by Ms. Krist, Seconded by Mr. Barkan to approve the
minutes of May 7, 1991 regular meeting and May 21 and June 6,
1991 work sessions. Motion passed unanimously.
3. Ms. Heisler passed out maps that were highlighted with
various colors to signify areas where the July 4th flyers will be
passed out. Members selected the area that they preferred and
Ms. Heisler will contact Mr. Warren to arrange a time for him to
pick up his share of the flyers for distribution. Members will
concentrate on business locations that receive a high amount of
customer volume, mostly retail businesses.
4. Ms. Krist had spoken to Mr. Wloskek that day concerning the
car registrations. Ms. Heisler had only received two
registrations. Mr. Wloskek believes that we will receive more,
but as in most cases, people tend to procrastinate and wait until
the last moment. Mr. Wloskek did state that we have competition
with a car show that is being held in St. Cloud, Mr. Wloskek, or
a representative from the Gator State Late Great Car Club, will
attend our July meeting.
5. Members had a general discussion on purchasing trophies and
the disadvantage with such a small turn out of registrations on
how many to order. Ms. Volkening has worked with Triple A
Trophies and will contact them and try to work out the details of
last minute ordering.
6. Board members discussed games and prizes at this time. The
games will be; sack race, three legged race, softball throw.
water balloon toss, relay race with cups of water, and possibly
an obstacle course. Mr. Goebel has approximately two dozen small
trophies that could be used for the children's games. The
donation of cookies that Ms. Volkening received from Keebler
could also be passed out as prizes. Members decided to run games
from 10;30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. and again from 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m.
with a five minute break between each game. The fingerprinting
booth will be opened from 10:00-12:00. The dunking booth will be
opened whenever it is convenient for the "dunkers". Mr. Goebel
will purchase perforated tickets to be used for the drawings for
the donated merchandise. Ms. Krist will design the voting
ballots for the classic cars. The cost will be X1.00 for a
combined raffle ticket and a ballot. Dunking booth tickets will
also be X1.00 for three throws. The ceremony for honoring all
armed forces is still being worked on. Mr. Goebel believes he
has a name and number to the reserve unit on W. Warren Ave., he
will furnish the number to Ms. Neisler and she will invite them
to participate.
7. Members decided their duties for the day of July 4th; Ms.
Neisler will have the fingerprinting booth, Ms. Krist will sell
tickets for voting/raffle and the dunking booth, Ms. Volkening
will have the games, Mr. Warren will man the dunking booth and
Ms. Harris will be a floater. Ms. Volkening will bring cash and
change for the cash box. Mr. Goebel will bring four folding
tables and table cloths. An emcee was discussed, Ms. Krist
offered to call out the door prizes. Ms. Volkening felt that an
emcee was not really needed, all volunteers could pitch in and do
announcing. Ms. Volkening requested that Ms. Neisler check with
Mr. Terry about the availability of having a police car and fire
truck for viewing that day.
8. All members are to call Ms. Neisler with any updates they may
have concerning the 4th and she will notify the members if needed
since the next meeting isn't until 7/5/91. Ms. Neisler will also
notify the VFW, Missing Children Center and Mr. Stan Wloskek and
request their attendance at the 7/5/91 meeting.
9. Mr. Goebel passed out copies of the revised 91192 FY budget.
Mr. Goebel went through the budget in detail and explained the
areas where the Parks and Recreation Dept. budget was reduced.
Mr. Goebel felt that there would probably be no further
reductions, and if there were it would definitely effect the
level of service. Mr. Goebel urged members to be present at the
budget meetings that are held with the Commission, which is
tentatively set for 7/22/91.
10. Motion to adjourn by Ms. Krist/Seconded by Mr. Harris. The
meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for
712/91,
Respectfully Submitted,
Eva Neisler, Secretary
