4) Burns-Work Group Update-Nachand Fieldhouse-The open house was a great success there were
around 200 people and a lot of media interest. We have about$150,000.00 in donations at the moment
so we are moving along great. Just so everyone knows donations can be dropped off at the mayor's office
for the June 3`d event.
5) Merkley-Riverstage Vending Contract-A couple of months we entered into an agreement with Cluckers
and Big 4 Burgers to provide the alcohol at Riverstage we now have the opportunity with a third company
Brown Forman to have more options and an in-kind donation . The issue is that to move forward we
need a special license to have three providers and have to have all parties end the previous contract and
enter into a new contract. On page two significant language has been added pertaining to insurance this
is to comply with Brown Forman's standards as well as our own. Cluckers will be the main contract holder
in this agreement so we will need a motion to terminate the existing contract and a motion to approve
the new contract.

Big 4 and enter into a new contract with Cluckers,the motion was seconded by Member Scales. The

the motion PASSED on a vote of 5-0.
6) Riverstage Contracts-The board members questioned if it was possible to have a cancelation clause for

a plaque for the old city hall in Preservation Park. I have spoken with some members of the UEZ board
and they said they thought they could go in half so our park would only be$4,700.00. The donor would
also like a plaque that states that his father donated the sign.'After discussion the board decided that
they needed to find out where the city hall building was actually located and look into a sign to give
information on the monument like the signs at Big 4.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
t
I
1) Director Northam-Abbey Road set up is happening today and taking place over the next couple of days,
we have a chance of rain for three of the five days so we are concerned about how it is going to go but
with it being an outdoor event we can only hope for the best. We have been getting Duffy's Landing
ready for a fishing tournament this weekend. There has been a problem with drinking at WAC with
people that are renting the field and we need to know where we stand on rules during rentals such as
with the CCSA. President Burns stated that this is something that we need to speak with Les about for the
next meeting.
