THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 4 PM
BROOKLYN CENTER CITY HALL
MEETING MINUTES
Phil Cohen called the Brooklyn Center Special Events Committee meeting to order at 4:05 p.m.
ATTENDANCE
Tony Kuefler; Kay Lasman, Councilmember; Ed Nelson, Councilmember; Dorothy Jacobson, Women’s
Club; Sue LaCrosse, Earle Brown Days; Phil Cohen, Chairman.
FINANCIAL REPORT
Phil Cohen reported a balance of $1,237.40. He said Rotary already has the Birthday Party in their budget.
Dorothy Jacobson said the Women’s Club will give a contribution and donate door prizes. Phil Cohen said
the City Manager has put the Birthday Party in the city’s 2003 budget. However, the budget will not be
adopted until December.
BIRTHDAY PARTY DISCUSSION
There was a motion by Dorothy Jacobson, seconded by Tony Kuefler to hold the Birthday Party in 2003.
The committee suggested February 15 as their first choice and February 8 as their second choice. Phil
Cohen asked Sue LaCrosse to check with Judith on the availability of the same room as last year and to
check to see if there were any other options. Some people complained about a blocked view during the
presentations and the entertainment. Another suggestion would be to have a remote microphone and a
platform for people to be on. Kay Lasman will check on the availability of the Robbinsdale Cooper
Chamber Singers. That may determine which date we choose.
Ed Nelson reported that recognition of commissioners was discussed at the Earle Brown Days meeting. He
asked if there might be a way to recognize them at this event. Phil Cohen said it becomes a matter of
expense. Who pays for their dinners? He will check with the City Manager on how this could be worked.
