3. Items added to the agenda: Daycare room
4. Short discussion on pool toys research. More information will be brought to the August meeting.
5. Consideration of special usage rate for the Monticello Firemen. After a lengthy discussion is was
decided that the issue would need to be brought to the attention of the City Administrator. It was felt
that any special consideration made should be offered to all City employees which is against the
Council's original wishes. Kitty Baltos will discuss the issue with Rick Wolfsteller and report back
to the board.
6. Consideration of revised pricing structure for the Mississippi Room banquet facilities. The
Community Center is down this year on banquet facility rentals. The staff believes that we may be
priced to high and require too many add-ons to the cost of the room. MOTION BY Harvey Kendall
to have a one price rental fee of $950 for the Mississippi for weekend regular renters. This new rate
would include the police officer, the dishes, an event hostess and the room rental. The only additional
money needed from the renter would be the security deposit. SECOND BY Wanda Kraemer,
MOTION PASSED.
7. Consideration of additional member only benefits. The board discussed the idea and will spend the
next month thinking of ideas and there will be further discussion at the next board meeting.
8. Discussion about the Bike Park opening events. Kitty Baltos informed the board that the grand
opening celebration for the bike park is scheduled for Saturday, August 3`d. The staff is working to
get a band to play, pros to perform and have a lot of activities for the kids for the day. The Board
suggested a grand opening special of 20% for the rest of the summer for the bike park pass.
9. Consideration of continuing with KCLD Radio advertising for 26 more weeks. After a discussion
about visit numbers and revenue for the first half of the year, it was agreed by the board that even
with the perks offered by the station to continue, the $12,000 price tag was too far out of budget for
this year. The advertising program will be reviewed at our preliminary budget meeting for 2003.
10. Added item: Daycare. Kitty Baltos discussed with the board the concerns she has about letting the
daycare away from MCC's control. The board still feels that this is a very viable and successful
option to pursue. Kitty will revisit the plan and move forward.
11. MOTION BY Idella Ziegler to adjourn meeting at 5:40 p.m., SECOND BY Wanda Kraemer,
MOTION PASSED meeting adjourned.
