Ask the committee if they can attend the meeting. The committee needs an

Working on next years recreation programs. We are working with Cynthia on
bringing in bands to Art Roberts Park for concerts during Friday Nights. Some of
the issues are Noise, Vendors, and surrounding business owners. Scotty liked the
idea but thought it should be tuned down a little, not such big bands. Scotty
Davenport and John Rygh left 7:30 p.m.

Season is over and went very well. Next year we need different staffing.

advertised on our web site and the Idaho ASA website and have contacted Boise,
Caldwell, Lewiston and Coeur D' Alene Parks and Recreation Departments.
