PERSONAL APPEARANCES:
John Marson--M.A.A. insurance
Jackie reported the issue of the city insurance policy and the inability of the
M.A.A. to be carried as an additional insured is still not settled. Copies of
the letters sent by Jackie to the Mayor and M.A.A. were reviewed. The Board
would like to assist the M.A.A. in any way possible to keep autonomous. They
have a good program as is. Suggested Jackie look at the possibility of putting
someone from the M.A.A. on the department payroll as a means of control, to
see if that would then provide the necessary insurance.
WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE:
Letter regarding dance instructor
Jerry Hulbert reported he had called the concerned participant and discussed
the material that was stated in the letter.
Refund requests/waiver requests for programs
There were none presented.
OLD BUSINESS:
Idle Isle Concession Stand ad
Bennetts are out of the building except for one (1) freezer. Would have out
in spring. The Board asked to see a cash flow report, if possible, from the
Bennetts. Jackie and Peter reported that some departments operate own concession
stands, others use vending machines, and others instead of a monthly rent use
a % of the gross. These options will be looked at when the department runs the
ad and sees what is av.ilable in interest. Board feels it is a good "service"
to provide. Richard Manchester moved to put an ad into the paper on operating
the concession stand at Idle Isle Park. Ron Stephens seconded. Motion carried.

indicated it needs to be stored where it is at least 40'. Idle Isle building
is cold storage so wouldn't work. The Department has no buildings that would
meet the need. Board suggested to contact vendor, maybe all he needs is the
money and will hold until needed by the Lake District.
