59 Jarvis recognized that Edward Cordell and Jo Makela from the Rose Festival were present and commented

62 other concerns about the sand for volleyball and the bales of straw that will be put out for the Go-Kart race. The
63 board will get back to the Rose Festival by April 20 on the Go-Kart race.

1 Jarvis asked about the concerts in the park, particularly Henry Summers, stating that he was not familiar with
2 him and wanted to know if he is a rock star. The last concert is a gospel concert and is still tentatively
3 scheduled. Jarvis stated that the rock concerts cause a few problems in that they have to double up on the
4 police and if Summers is in that category, it will cost considerably more than $8,500 in overtime. Since the
5 Rose Festival was held at Kuhlman Center last year, there were no provisions in the budget this year for these
6 items. Grimes stated that the city would help in any way it could and expressed a hope that the festival would
7 end this year in a profitable manner.
