t i <br /> Parks,Recreation,Cultural Arts and Entertainment Committee <br /> July 17, 2003 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Mr. St. Clair noted that to date there have been 450,000 hits on the Parks website. <br /> Council Member Coleman then directed discussion with regard to the best of the three(3) possible <br /> funding alternatives. <br /> Council Member Aranowski noted that alternative#3 appears to be the"most feasible". <br /> Council Member Coleman stated that he would like to meet with the Mayor and the City Controller, <br /> but would like to do so with a sense of where the Committee stood. <br /> Council Member Kelly noted that the Committee should not kid themselves and that discussions <br /> must begin with the Mayor. <br /> Following discussion, Council Member Aranowski made a motion, seconded by Council Member <br /> Kuspa that the Chairperson of the Parks, Recreation, Cultural Arts and Entertainment Committee <br /> would be authorized to meet with the City Administration and in particular the Mayor and City <br /> Controller to discuss the feasibility of Option#3 Funding Alternative [Fund 201, COIT, 10% fee <br /> increases,and other sources] and then report back to the Committee. The motion passed. <br /> Council Member Kelly noted that he received a call from the owner of Barnaby's who voiced <br /> concern about the need to move the Summer in the City festival from this year's location. <br /> Mr. St. Clair noted that they have purchased more food items for the staff from Barnaby's. He <br /> also suggested that there be "beefed up security" at next year's festival and that they are looking <br /> into using Indiana State Police, noting that Fort Wayne utilizes state police for some of their <br /> activities. <br /> Council Member Kuspa inquired about locations for relocating the greenhouse. Mr. St. Clair <br /> stated that they are looking into keeping it where it is or elsewhere and that it would need a lot of <br /> discussion. <br /> There being no further business to come before the Committee, Council Member Coleman <br /> adjourned the meeting at 4:45 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Council Member Sean Coleman, Chairperson <br /> Parks,Recreation, Cultural Arts and Entertainment Committee <br /> KCF:kmf <br /> Attachments <br />
