APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of July 16, 1990 were approved. TREASURER'S REPORT: Bergeland reported for Cummings a balance of $300 . There is one outstanding bill to BFI for $649 . Bergeland is still trying to get the additional $500 from the antique show. Without a contract, it is pretty hard. COMMITTEE CHAIR: Bergeland proposed a co-chairman with herself and Graham for 1991. In 1992 Graham would co-chair with someone else. Cohen asked what would happen if the co-chairs didn't get along. He suggested a chair and a chair elect. Risley said chair elect could still be responsible fo.- specific dities. The motion was made by Cohen, second;d by Neilson to keep the position of chair and add chair elect. Motion passed. TIME CHANGE: Bergeland said it is hard for Graham to attend morning meetings. The Monday meetings haven't been well attended. She sees a need to move meetings to Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. LaCrosse will check for room availability. BUDGET DIRECTOR: Bergeland said we need an accountant type person. Cohen said ossibl P y Dorff could put it together. Graham knows someone who might be interested. Cohen sees the need to develop guidelines. If a committee has to i o outside de their budget, they would have to get board approval before spending the money. Cohen said Dorff could set up budget and guidelines and someone else could monitor. He said abandoning the Ambassadors approach was wrong. We should participate in charitable ball and use the Ambassadors. PUBLICITY: Bergeland asked Splinter if the city newsletter could be used as a vehicle to talk about EBD. Splinter said yes and also suggested sending info to NW News. Brooklyn Center will get one page in each issue. Neilson said we need to start now and suggested something different each month. PARADE: Risley reported the Lions Club will sponsor the parade and are committed to spending $7, 500 on it. • Neilson and Cohen would like to see Rotary sponsor an event and Bergeland would like to see the car dealers sponsor car show. CARNIVAL: It needs to be moved to a site with more visibility. Brookdale has consistently said no. The Highland parking lot was suggested. There was a motion by Nerburn, seconded by Risley to drop the carnival . Motion passed. DATE CHANGE: The dates for 1991 are June 26-30 . EVENTS : Cohen said we should decide fairly soon which events will be approved. Then Ambassadors can get money or sponsors to cover expenses. Ice Cream Social--sponsored by Brookdale Parade--sponsored by Lions Club Junior Royalty-- Car Show-- Street Dance-- Craft Show-- Fishing Contest-- Fun Run--sponsored by Chamber? Sunday In Central Park--sponsored by City Talent Show Cohen made a motion to approve that these ten events be held in 1991 and to note the Lions Club will sponsor the parade. The other events are considered and the committee needs to come up wi-.h a budget so the Ambassadors can _.eek additional sponsors. Seconded by Risley. Motion passed. • There was a suggestion to do mass purchasing to save money, especially on trophies and printing. Dorff arrived. There was some discussion on teen activities.
