CALL TO ORDER President Hal Dulle called the meeting to order at 5:30 PM. 2. ROLL CALL: Committee Members present: Hal Dulle; Michael Ryno; Marti Thruston; Stephen Sampson; and Councilmember liaison Dave Kemna. Committee Members absent: Ivan Turner; Bob Priddy; Lori Rosberg; and Patrick Bonnot. A quorum was NOT present, so no official meeting could occur, nor official action taken. Attendees: City Administrator Steve Crowell. Discussion: Since there was not a quorum of members in attendance, there was no official action taken regarding the meeting. A meeting with Capt. Kevin O. Moller, Commanding Officer of the USS Jefferson City Submarine was previously scheduled to talk with the committee by phone. The Committee proceeded to have a discussion with Capt. Moller. Capt. Moller gave a brief overview of the history of the submarine and some of the retrofit work which was occurring on the submarine. Capt. Moller indicated he thought the retrofit work on the submarine would be finalized around May 2019. Capt. Moller suggested a possible date to come for a “namesake” visit to Jefferson City would be to arrive March 29, 2018 and depart on April 3, 2018. The consensus of the Committee members present was those dates should be acceptable. A few days after the Committee meeting, the visit date was subsequently changed to March 1 through March 6, 2018. Capt. Moller indicated he would put together some information for the Committee to review regarding items which the crew might appreciate as a result of the namesake visit. Marti Thruston was introduced to Capt. Moller with the indication that Ms. Thruston would be the main contact and organizer of the namesake visit events. A question was asked how much money was available in the USS Jefferson City Submarine (budget) account. City Administrator Crowell indicated the amount was approximately $16,800. There was no further discussion; the meeting concluded at approximately 6:30 PM.
