`� Country Club had increased their reservation fee and this therefore increased the
�kr' cost for this event. A discussion ensued on whether to have this event at the club
or to find another location. Dauber believed it was too expensive to hold this event
at the Fremont Hills Country Club; three bands were not necessary; and over $30
was too high a ticket price.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Johnson, seconded by Hubbard
and passed by the following roll call vote to agree to hold the 1996 S'Bring In The
Hills Event at the Fremont Hills Country Club; to direct the committee to negotiate
the best contract with the club for this event; to eliminate the harpist; and to
establish the maximum ticket price at $35.
AYES: Mayor Siegel and Councilmembers Casey, Hubbard and Johnson
NOES: Councilmember Dauber
Mr. Burnell noted that the invitation for this event was going to be sent out in the
April Newsletter with separate invitations being mailed to the newcomers and
neighborhood coordinators. The City Manager noted that a sign for this event could
be placed on the board at Town Hall.
D. Discussion of specific items brought up by committee and Council
Members or introduced in the Goals and Objectives
E. Council Approval of 1996-97 Goals and Objectives
Mr. Burnell commented on the activities of the committee. He referred to
the Welcome Packets which were being handled by Patty and Roy Woolsey. II
was estimated that 200 of these packets went out annually. The committee
