We will now entertain any comments from our City Controller Dan Parker as we <br /> enter the third(3`d)budget hearing, which is Venues Parks & Arts. <br /> Dan Parker, City Controller with offices on the 12th floor of the County-City Building, stated, <br /> Thank you, Councilmember White.This is our third(3`d)budget hearing and it is for Venues Parks <br /> & Arts. This follows Public Works from last week. I did want to let the Council Members know <br /> that there were a multitude of questions for Public Works and so we are still compiling the written <br /> responses for the Public Works budget hearing,but we will do that,get those put together and sent <br /> out within the next several days. I just wanted to mention of that. With that, I will turn it over to <br /> Aaron Perri for Venues Parks &Arts. <br /> Aaron Perri, Executive Director of Venues Parks & Arts with offices located at 301 South St. <br /> Louis Boulevard, stated, Thank you Dan, and thanks for all your work that your office is putting <br /> into this process. I appreciate it. In the packet in front of you(which is available in the City Clerk's <br /> Office),we'll go through a presentation that we've been able to put together. A few weeks ago, we <br /> talked about our current accomplishments and some of our ongoing goals, so today will be <br /> primarily about the numbers, as I believe it was the intention of the Committee meeting. But, I <br /> would just like to underscore a few things regarding where we're heading next year. We're going <br /> to really near the finish line of the My SB Parks & Trails Initiative. I think everyone received a <br /> save the date for the Howard Park grand reopening happening on November 29th.
