In <br />attendance were: Stephanie Albin, Jim Rudolph, Dave Rymanowski, Roger Hebeisen, <br />Donna Busch, Sandi Yeado, Jeff Gongoll, Wendy Simenson, Fred McCoy, Patti Hipsag, <br />Marcy VanValkenburg <br />Treasurers Report: Jim reported that there is $2384.56 in the treasury. <br />Secretary's Report: Minutes were accepted (Jeff moved, Dave Seconded) <br />Old Business: <br />City Update: Cathy was not able to attend this meeting. We discussed how we need to <br />have the electricity to the boulevard trees available to light up the trees earlier. The power <br />wasn't on to the trees until after thanksgiving weekend and then it went off and had to be <br />reset again. Someone remembered that there used to be wreaths and ribbons on the light <br />poles and possibly even holiday banners. We need to find out if any of that is around still <br />and/or if the city has any inclination to help support sprucing up the downtown more <br />during the holidays. We need to work on a plan for decorating downtown for the holidays <br />earlier next year. <br />Santa Downtown Dec 15th: Stephanie Albin with the Park and Rec Department came to <br />introduce herself and talk about plans for the open house. Park and Rec will bring hay <br />bales for people to sit on. Stephanie is planning to be at the RiversEdge Commons park <br />during the day to coordinate the activities. She will bring a speaker system to play music <br />in the park. The Command Performance Choir will sing inside and outside if it is not too <br />cold. Most of the downtown businesses will have things going on that day. There was an <br />insert in the paper today, sponsored by First National Financial Services, which listed all <br />of the events and promotions taking place in businesses. Wendy will make copies of the <br />events list for the businesses so that we can point out what's happening at other <br />businesses to people when they come into the stores. We had talked about Mochas-to-go <br />being by the River and having a fire going outside to keep warm by but Mochas to go <br />isn't available that day and Park and Rec was worried about the logistics and safety of <br />having a fire so that won't be happening. <br />New Business: <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 AM <br />
