call him.
PARADE:

wanted to have spots on the bleachers reserved for them. LaCrosse said there are no officers
available for this. She said if Ditty wished to do this, it would have to be with parade volunteers.

Patches The Clown is self insured. The substation float application will be turned in.

insurance. She said she would like to have the committee look into more insurance. LaCrosse
said we carry only spectator insurance. The recreation department does not carry participant
insurance either. Buse said people could sue the committee. LaCrosse said she will call a couple
other communities to see what they do for insurance and she will call our insurance company to

OLD BUSINESS:
Holcomb said she had a very angry crafter. This was the person who had
cancelled and the committee had made the decision she would not get a refund. Holcomb said she
wanted her to send her a copy of the application because she wanted to see where it said, no
refund. However, she also accused Holcomb of changing the application before it was sent to
her. She has threatened to contact the city attorney. LaCrosse said she has reported this incident
to Charlie Hansen in the finance department just in case.
