Spoke with Barry before the meeting
Porta-Potties are ordered- Same company – Little Johnies.
We ordered same amount of 2 Dumpsters for delivery behind the bars for trash.
We have been using same set of wrist bands for a few years and are running low.
We bought 10,000 last time.  It’s time for a replenishment.
Barry has a list of the $250 fee that each bar is going to pay to have an outdoor sales area.
All that money goes to the parade. (WOW!)

Miranda reports O’Shea agree to be the title sponsor again.
She talks to Darcy’s next about sponsorship.

I was on email when a sponsor email came into Info…so I linked them to our Sponsor webpage and cc’d in info@

Mayor says we can move all the general Fencing we want if its in the way…just not the barricades.

Reviewing stand to go in front, and kind of on the west-leaning side of that parkng lot next to Norb Andy’s

Rt 66 Raffle winners to have flat bed next to it for the winners to have a VIP Parade view. (see Jean on that)

Trash can locations will stay the same locations, Bary mentioned they can fill up fast and wondered about emptying them.

Food Trucks need additional Permit that only alerts the city that they are set up at this event. Said most trucks know this. Miranda mentioned how the food truck concept has grown (it has!), that I was suggesting having a dedicated volunteer be a liaison person to help.

Junior ROTC needs to go behind the Mayor.
Last year when a City worker argues with me about parking the city truck in Section G and he was not moving..it cause the order to get off by 2..because I thought they were military wit the Section A people.  The Sergeant of that group also yelled at me in realm about his disappointment that his group was 2 entries behind where they were slated.  So I mentioned to the Mayor I’d be sure the Junior ROTC got ehri spot behind her this year.

As for Police, there will be 3 supervisors and 15 officers..same as last year.
As for cost, the Mayor they had not arrived at a decision yet…so we get another free year of Police coverage.

As for the city workers…she put out that was not supposed to happen and no city trucks are to park on the parade line up area or route.

I discussed Electrical needs with Chris from CWLP and said we already have 6 Food trucks.  Deciding whether to cap it here or allow 1 more.

Meeting went 1 hour to 4:00pm

As usual I have the sign ups and info tracking on my Global page…which I think I figured out how to make that a web page…so you don’t have to download the Excel each time.
