bill pay approval from last month to this month. Motion carried. Under new business from the January

$550. Karen Youngberg said we will receive $2,000 from Minneapolis Northwest. Myrna Kauth said
the American Legion will donate towards the fireworks. Councilmember Carol Kleven said the
Women’s Club budget is already set for this year and therefore the club cannot donate to Earle Brown

Publicity:

smaller size. If we wanted the 8.5” x 11” size, the cost would be $2,193. There was a motion by Myrna
Kauth, seconded by Karen Youngberg to approve the smaller size insert. Motion carried. There was a
motion by Cathy Ballot, seconded by Myrna Kauth to have the flyer designed with the schedule of
events on one side and the Craft & Business Expo, parade, and the band concert/fireworks/honor our
veterans on the other side. Motion carried.
