Caliguire has requested use of Lions Park and Bandshell for August 16,2003 from 10 a.m. to midnight for an "End of Summer" concert. Mr. Caliguire was in attendance and he stated that 7-8 bands will be participating. The group hopes to begin the concert at noon and end it at 10 p.m. The Commission questioned how many people are expected at this event and where they are expected to park. Mr. Caliguire stated that the number of people is unknown but they have talked to Central Lutheran Church about parking. The church granted the group permission to park there but they must wait until after 3-4 p.m. due to a wedding. Ms. McPherson stated that she will contact Ice Arena Manager Rich Czech on behalf of the group to see if parking would be available at the arena if needed. Commissioner Anderson suggested that the deposit be less than the maximum based on the history of the group. Commission Anderson also suggested that there be no fee as the group is new at planning these events on their own. e COMMISSIONER KUESTER MOVED TO APPROVE THE USE OF LIONS PARKAND BANDSHELL ON AUGUST 16, 2003, FROM 10 A.M.
